Apun Ka Choice: Black & White deals with a very relevant issue in the times of terrorism and racial profiling. Not only does the movie gives a message of hope that terrorists could be reformed, it also questions the way, the state goes about dealing with terrorism. It is an honest and commendable effort by Subhash Ghai, and it deserves to be seen at least once.
CNN-IBN: Loosely inspired by the Harrison Ford-Brad Pitt starrer The Devil's Own, Ghai's film explores the relationship between a terrorist and the couple, who open their home and their hearts, to him. Subhash Ghai's Black & White is an amateurish effort from a filmmaker clearly out of his depth, as far as his subject matter is concerned.
DNA India: Black & White suffers from a lack of subtlety and absence of nuances. Every thought, action and emotion is explained in words and the dialogues skirt dangerously, close to the preachy.
Glamsham: Directed by Subhash Ghai, this movie is far from the commercial films he's known for, and it raises many questions and comes with a disturbing message.
Hindustan Times: Worth a look for viewers, who care more for their conscience than their popcorn!
IndiaFM: Black & White is a fine effort from a master storyteller, who dares to change lanes with this film. In that respect, an effort like this needs to be lauded.
Now Running: A standing ovation for Subhash Ghai, for venturing into a territory, that would be considered uninviting for an escapist entertainer.
Rediff: Black & White is a relevant watch. This is a film of urgency, make no mistake, and both protagonist and screenplay talk only as much as is required. As for the director himself, he doesn't even make the obligatory cameo. It is the sentiment that plays hero.
Times Of India: Black and White is a thought-provoking film, that challenges the state's stereotypical formula to combat terrorism. And somewhere between its moments of light and shade, it holds a glimmer of hope and humanism: yes, fanatics can be cured, terrorists can be tamed, secularism may live long.

Breakfast Topic: How do you deal with self-entitled puggers? {WoW}
Aug 9th 2011 12:31PM We don't even have to BE nice: in this medium, if one just PRETENDS to be nice... to be tolerant... to not be foul mouthed...
...no one will know the difference.
Nobody can force a cretin to be a mensch, but I still think Blizzard could help to foster a less toxic environment by instituting a popularity rating, with attendant vanity rewards. Just fancy: PUG ends, I think, "My, didn't that tank act nice! I'm going to vote him 10 PUG Popularity Points!" Tank is happy because he just managed to hoodwink that simpleton (me) into buying his act - but I'm happier because I didn't have to rinse another 30 minutes of poisonous PUG chat out of my eyes.
He'll never know the difference but, heck, he doesn't know now how many times we got along just fine after he plug-pulled on us. And maybe, just maybe, one or two out of the millions of WoW players will actually come to enjoy BEING civil.
Hey, stranger things have happened!

Scattered Shots: Hunter pet changes -- QQ or HTFU? {WoW}
Jul 28th 2011 6:03PM I used to know my pets; I knew what they were apt to do, and when and how to intervene when I wanted them to do something different. I learned how and when to use the old stances, I learned to use multi-shot, defensive and assist pet to quickly pick a fresh target against groups, I even learned to love "Move to" when it replaced Eyes of the Beast.
Now, it feels as though everything I taught my pets (myself) has been erased. And the worst of it is: I'm only guessing whether these new behaviors are intended or are bugs. Am I going to have to learn how to cope with this mishegoss only to find half of it hot-fixed within weeks?

Nancy Moose
Courses Taught: Composition, Literature, Documentation and Presentation, Linguistics, Grammar, Reading Methods
Judging by the list of classes that Dr. Nancy Moose teaches, it is obvious that her expertise covers a wide range of interests. She teaches everything from Composition to Literature, and Documentation and Presentation to Linguistics, Grammar, and Reading Methods (for Education majors). Of course she doesn't teach all of these classes every semester; most of the classes she teaches are on a two to three year rotation.
The amount of writing in her classes varies as much as the topics. In her Composition, Documentation and Presentation, and Reading in the Content Area classes, writing is a major focus. The extent of writing in her Literature classes generally consists of one or two papers and essay exams. For the remainder of her classes, little formal writing is required.
As for research, her Composition classes usually consist of two to four research papers. Her Reading in the Content Area class does one research paper in addition to five other papers, but she requires less research for the remainder of her classes.
As seems to be the norm in the Liberal Arts , MLA (Modern Language Association) is the standard form of citation that Dr. Moose requires for her classes. She does teach APA (American Psychological Association) in Composition 101, however.
When asked what students should carry over from their academic writing to their professional writing, Dr. Moose offered the following advice: "Especially for technical writing, [writing] needs to be clear and straightforward. It needs to be professional -- no slang. It should be grammatically correct and organized. It is also important to do the research , use the appropriate sources, and correctly cite them."

Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home? - page 6
I have been working this case for my 8 year-old private care patient for a few years. Her other two nurses have been there longer than me. We are considered family by her parents and they are very demanding about her care for... Read More
- 0Feb 17, '13 by Oldest&UgliestI just started in PDN. The thought of a "nanny-cam" came up for me. I wouldn't know what to look for, but I think that in these cases there might be one. I don't know if there is, but it doesn't really bother me. I understand why a parent might want one and I can't imagine them looking at them in great length. I think they have their hands full and time fully accounted for. This day and age you almost have to assume you're on camera whereever you go!!
- 0Feb 17, '13 by dakotadeniseI love you avatar Texan56!
- 1Feb 17, '13 by EmilysMamaAs a pre-nursing student AND the mother of a terminally ill, non verbal little girl I get to look at this from both sides of the fence. She is clumsy and falls a lot, and her aggression makes her prone to attacking her brother like a whacked out pit bull (no offense), leaving him with bruises or bite marks. You hear of horror stories every single day about trusted PT's HHA's that are trusted like family to take care of their kids only to find that they were beating them horribly for something such as having a BM. I finally get a RN to help me with my daughter on Friday. I don't know her from Adam, but after 24 hours I am expected that she will treat my daughter the same way I will, and be just as patient with her. When I leave for my classes who knows what can happen. I will have cameras in the bedroom/living room when we get our house later this year, and not because I don't trust her, but because I love my daughter and something has to be her voice, since she does not speak. I would be ecstatic to watch those videos and see her nurse, playing with her! That would please me greatly, I would also feel better knowing that "just in case" I do not have the wrong person in my house though.
- 1Thank you., Dakotadenise. Of course the topic of the safety of any child with no voice is a serious matter. My only objection to the camera would be if the mom used it to micro-manage the nurse. I find that to be toxic.
- 0Feb 17, '13 by EmilysMamaQuote from Texan56Oh I can only imagine.. that would make me crazy.Thank you., Dakotadenise. Of course the topic of the safety of any child with no voice is a serious matter. My only objection to the camera would be if the mom used it to micro-manage the nurse. I find that to be toxic.
- 1Mar 5, '13 by MamaBearTo3I have a vent dependent, micro-preemie trach baby with a g-tube. You can bet your ass that I will have cameras in my home. Not for malicious intent, but because I hear SOOOO many stories of night nurses SLEEPING ON THE JOB. Keep your eyes open, do your job, and you will be fine.
If you are dong what you are supposed to, what difference does it make if you are on camera/being filmed or not? Got something to hide?
- 1Aug 26, '13 by Adele_Michal7Quote from tothepointeLVNGood post, and yikes about that urban legend... I wouldn't want to work at that case. Some PDN parents can be so awesome, some can be so scary. And l oh freakin l on the post it notes comment.The moms of these private duty kids are quite often but not always a little wackado and control freaky. Post it notes everywhere anyone? Maybe the nurses need to videotape them.Though I am not one to be overly fearful but my gut instinct is if I was recorded and the patient had a bad outcome because of something mom did that they would find something on tape to cover their own booty.Urban legend has it at my old work that a patient died 1hour after the last nurse left but the mom wouldn't accept responsibility. Rumor has it.
Quote from kdavispnVery true, I feel the same way. One of my cases- I'm there 24 hours a week- has TWO cameras in the patients room (one with remote viewing access from all the family's smart phones) and one in the family living room. One of the bedroom cameras has sound.Quite a few of the parents are still cycling through Kubler Ross stages, and I'm sorry this is a factor.
No employee, wants every second of their work dissected, no matter how good they are.
Quote from tothepointeLVNI'm very curious about the audio factor now. I want to know because the family I'm at 3 days a week has audio and sometimes I get a call here or there... I don't want to be audio recorded. I think that's going too far. Should I call my agency?I think the thought of being videotaped covertly just instinctively feels wrong. My husbands boss spends his lunch zooming in on people on the surveillance watching people as the chew.
Looking over the statues and such like they only one I could find was the one covering the audio which was not originally conceived to allow nanny cams. What I couldn't find was anything that says you can videotape only the minueta of it. Well probably start to see legal cases surrounding this start to trickle through and start providing some prescendence.
If I was working directly for the family and being paid by the family I might understand but if anyone if going to record me at work it should be my employer and have them be in control of the tapes. This is a stretch comparison but its like the customer having control of the store security camera's while shopping.

I know you gray flagged the item, so feel free to ignore this - the dog shape looks not that recognizable at smaller sizes (as on View All page here) and there is something slightly off with proportions and spacing. The script is a bit too small compared to the dog, the name is too big compared to the script and the dog, and all three elements are spaced too close to each other.

You spoke (loudly) about the comedy performers and series Emmy overlooked this year. Now you can help make things right: Click through the nominees in Lead Actor/Actress, Supporting Actor/Actress, and Series; each category ends with a ballot -- vote!
Season 4 revealed more about the extravagant taste of Tom Haverford both at work, with his doomed business venture Entertainment 720 and, at home, with his Diamond Collection bed and breakfast amenities that wooed Ann (Rashida Jones). What remained constant: Ansari's ability to keep Tom's materialism and swagger more goofy and endearing than sleazy and loathsome. (''Not loving '90s R& B music is No. 3 on the Oh-no-nos list.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Botha, Jan Adriaan firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-09292004-135315 Document Title Narratiewe pastorale egskeidingsmediasie : stories van hoop (Afrikaans) Degree PhD (Practical Theology) Department Practical Theology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof J C Müller Committee Chair Keywords
- no keywords available
Date 2003-11-05 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis research has been conducted from a post modern, pastoral-narrative point of view. The focus is on action stories in a narrative pastoral divorce mediation situation. From these stories my co-researchers and I have tried to discover new stories of hope.
Chapter 1 focuses on action (the problem) and action stories that have been the object of the research. The research has been approached from five 'movements' (Müller 199:77). It can be explained in the following way: the story of the problem, the story of the past, the story of the clouded future, the re-authoring of the problem past story and the imaginary (hopeful) story of the future.
The main theme for the organising of my research was inspired or motivated by an article, written by Müller (2001:64): "Therapy as Fiction writing".
In her book, "Bird by bird" (1995) Anne Lamott quotes a formula created by Alice Adams to explain the process of writing a story. Keeping this in mind, Müller, Van Deventer and 'Human (2001) wrote an article: "Fiction writing as metaphor for research: A narrative approach". This article partly led to the creation of the ABDCE formula for writing. Hence the ideal opportunity was created for researching the method or therapy-based narrative principle. My research has been undertaken with 'action' as backdrop and to use the 'background' to explore the action and then to develop it, looking for a possible 'climax' as well as a process or developing to an 'ending' was developed.
Chapter 2 discusses the detail of background terms and their developing. The focus is on an essential shift of paradigm that should be exploited in view of the following three themes: post modernism: a new era has dawn, the scientific-philosophical foundation for the research and the narrative paradigm.
Chapter 3 revolves around the family, the divorce process, the children as marginalised and the process of divorce mediation. These themes are explained and developed with the use of the necessary background.
Chapter 4 is a theological and pastoral verification of the research. The focus is theology, practical theology, narrative practical theology, the role of the researcher/therapist in the research process and the narrative pastorate. The most important terms are discussed from several angles and the field of research is extended.
Chapter 5 consists of a summary of the action stories. Seven co-researchers take turns in telling their story. In the discussion we look for possible stories of hope. The research has to be evaluated against the identified terms and the possible development of stories of hope. As a team the co-researchers and I will look for a climax in our research process. Is a "successful" divorce possible by means of narrative, pastoral divorce mediation?
Chapter 6 discusses a possible ending … a time to reflect … a critical reflection on the research is essential. Conclusions are made and recommendation are suggested. I share my personal experience about the research process. The ending stays an open process. New questions arise which might lead to new research.
This research does not end with a full stop, but with a comma, …

I'm Guessing Colin Cowherd Won't Be Working The WNBA Draft When It Comes To Bristol
*Insert Colin Cowherd insult here.*
*Insert Colin Cowherd insult here.*
The final game of the 2010 World Series last night drew a 10.6/16 metered market rating last night, down double digits from the same game last year disappointing, and placing Fox third for the evening, behind ABC and CBS, which programmed "Dancing with the Stars" and its Monday comedy block respectively.
As is often the case, the teams playing have an impact on the ratings. Last year's series between the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies simply had broader appear than a Texas-San Francisco matchup.
Still, preliminary ratings put the 2010 Series up slightly compared to the 2008 Series, which was between the Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays.
Final ratings will be out later today.

Pontiac was established as a division of GM in 1926, and made a name for itself as GM's performance division. Sporty vehicles, many of which came with the Pontiac convertible top, were Pontiac's stock in trade. Unfortunately, Pontiac was discontinued in 2010 in GM's restructuring after its earlier financial crisis. However, the brand lives on with a vibrant fan base.
The Firebird and Trans Am may stand as Pontiac's most popular car models, with the Trans Am being essentially a high-performance version of the Firebird, including a beefier engine and interior styling. Both the Firebird convertible top and the Trans Am convertible top proved to be popular options for this classic American muscle car.
The Pontiac Sunfire was brought in for the 1995 model year to replace the Sunbird with a sportier, yet still budget priced, option. At the time, the Sunfire convertible was one of the most thrifty options for buyers who wanted a soft top on a budget. The Pontiac Sunfire convertible top was surely a major part of its appeal to the market.

Hello everyone, like all of you, I spent ALOT of money on body washes/facial washes/exfoloiators and etc.
Having Keratosis Pilaris, cost ALOT to maintain and keeping it undercrontrol.
STOP buying exfoloiators right now! Wanna know why, Here I will tell you!
Tonight, I was checking my facebook, one of my friends posted a new photo of himself (he has perfect, clear skin), alot of people were asking him about how he maintain such picture perfect skin, he said sugar. I was shocked by this, never thought about sugar using on my skin.
So I went to google, found so much information about using sugar as an exfoliator. I found a recipe for the perfect exfoliator, so I went straight into my kitchen, luckly I had what it takes. I mixed everything together and went to the bathroom to see how well this works for me.
Let me say I was shocked by this, and how amazing this works. After using it on my right arm, I have never felt such smooth skin before! I finished the left arm!
I was so impressed by this, I used this on my face (I have Keratosis on my nose), I noticed after using my face felt fresh, brighter and newer.
This has saved me so many money, thinking about how much we really spend on our skin, more if you have Kearatosis!
Here is the recipe!
Pure Cane Sugar
Olive Oil
First Step: Make A Paste
Mix half a cup of sugar with 3 tbs. honey and 3 tbs. olive oil. Add water to make a thick paste.
Second Step: Apply In The Shower
In a hot shower, rub in circular strokes over skin. Let it set for a couple of minutes and rise.
Third Step: The Follow Up
Apply your favorite moisturizer (or Keratosis Creams) as soon as you get out of the tub. You will be seriously amazed how soft and smooth your skin will be.
Repeat 2-3 times a week for optimal results!
Here is a personal tip for perfect, kissbale lips!
Using this homemade exfoliator on your lips, will give you the best lips you will ever have.
Make sure after exfoliate your lips to apply lip balm!
Hi James - I just keep a container of sugar in my shower and use it plain or with a rich soap. More sugar scrub recipes collected through the years are here:
good luck!
- bd: 46 yo F; Dr. Woods Black Soap w/Shea Butter for facewash; Sea Salt + Epsom Salt scrub in shower; Cetaphil RestoraDerm unscented lotion, Alba Botanica Kona Coffee After-Sun lotion on face; reg. exercise; OilPulling; a basic multi-vite plus calcium/Vit D, o3s; eating GLUTEN-FREE DIET for Celiac Disease, and not much dairy as I get allergic reaction; Arms 99% clear, face neck chest 98%, legs 90% clear, butt is 99% clear. All dietary treatments above help reduce my sinus congestion and joint pain besides help my skin.

This is a picture captured at the right moment, of my three year old daughter helping Daddy 'collect sap' for the maple syrup season. Twenty-five trees were tapped on Sunday night(March 13th) and sap collected Tuesday evening with a total of 65 gallons. It takes approximately 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. Here's hoping the weather holds out with some cold nights and warm days.

As we go through our days, it's always possible that we may run into something that will tempt us to lose control over our emotions or bodies: A traffic jam, an annoying coworker, a dent in your car that wasn't there before, a long line at Starbucks, Michael Jackson's "Thriller," a bed to jump and dance on with your sister — we all know the possibilities. But what we have to remember is that we must always stay in control. Imagine yourself watching the scene from a distance. Don't let it get away from you. Breathe. (Via RatsOff!)

Company Overview
ImmunoGen, Inc. develops targeted anticancer therapeutics using our expertise in cancer biology, engineered antibodies and highly potent cancer-cell killing agents.
We have established expertise in the development and humanization of tumor-targeting antibodies. As is well accepted, engineered antibodies can do an excellent job of selectively binding to cancer cells, but are typically sub-optimal in their ability to actually kill cancer cells. Thus, we have developed specialized cancer-cell killing agents to serve as payloads – to be attached to such antibodies for targeted delivery to tumor cells.
Our payload agents are many fold more potent than traditional chemotherapy agents. We also have developed engineered linkers that keep the payload firmly attached to the antibody while the whole therapy is circulating through the bloodstream and then release it once the therapy has reached and entered a cancer cell.
We use our antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology – together with our strong antibody expertise – to develop our own product candidates. We currently have three wholly owned clinical-stage compounds – IMGN853, IMGN529 and IMGN289. We continue to invest in our ADC technology to maintain our leadership position.
We also selectively outlicense our technology to other companies for use with their engineered antibodies. We have partnerships with Amgen, Bayer, Biotest, Lilly, Novartis, Roche and Sanofi – all of which have clinical and/or preclinical compounds utilizing our technology.
ImmunoGen is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Our manufacturing facility is in Norwood, Massachusetts. We have approximately 300 employees.

Drought Tolerance of Tall Fescue and Bluegrass Cultivars
A desirable trait of cool-season lawn grasses, such as tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), is that they stay relatively green throughout most of the year and do not go into complete winter dormancy like bermudagrass or zoysiagrass. The use of cool-season grasses for Arkansas lawns has been limited to northern regions of the state due to their poor heat and drought tolerance relative to warm-season grasses. In recent years, hybrid bluegrass cultivars, which are crosses between Kentucky bluegrass and Texas bluegrass (P. pratensis x P. arachnifera), have been released as a cool-season lawn turf option with improved heat and drought tolerance (Abraham et al., 2004). In addition, it has recently been demonstrated that there is variation in drought tolerance among cultivars within tall fescue (Karcher et al., 2008) and Kentucky bluegrass species (Richardson et al., 2008). Identifying cultivars of tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and hybrid bluegrass with excellent drought tolerance may expand the use of cool-season turfgrasses for lawns in Arkansas. The objective of the following research was to determine the relative drought tolerance of various tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and hybrid bluegrass cultivars.
Materials and Methods
This research was conducted at the University of Arkansas Research and Extension Center in Fayetteville, Ark. Forty-two cultivars of tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, or hybrid bluegrass (Table 1) were seeded into three replicate plots in the fall of 2006 on a native soil experimental area that was constructed under a rain-out shelter. The experimental area was maintained as a home lawn and was mowed weekly at a 2 inch height of cut. During the summer of 2007, drought stress was initiated by discontinuing irrigation and activating the rain-out shelter so that an automated, sliding roof would cover the plots, keeping them dry during rainfall events. Digital images were collected from each plot regularly during drought stress to evaluate green turf coverage over time and determine the drought tolerance characteristics of each cultivar. Non-linear regression (using a variable slope, Sigmoid curve) was performed on the digital image analysis data to predict Days50 values for each cultivar, which are the estimated number of days after irrigation was withheld until green turf coverage decreased to 50%.
Results and Discussion
The 42 cultivars tested in this trial are ranked from most to least drought tolerant in Table 1. The number of days after irrigation was withheld until green turf coverage dropped to 50% ranged from 52 d for 2nd Millennium tall fescue to 29 d for Solar Green hybrid bluegrass. This range of greater than three weeks (23 d) is significant when considering that a rainfall event would be probable during this period on a non-irrigated lawn in Arkansas. In such a case, cultivars in this trial that were most drought tolerant would be much more likely to retain acceptable green turf coverage between rainfall events compared to the more drought sensitive cultivars and not need supplemental irrigation. The only cultivar that was statistically as drought tolerant as 2nd Millennium was TB 390, an experimental hybrid bluegrass cultivar (Fig. 1). There were three cultivars with drought tolerance as poor as Solar Green: Champlain, A00-1400 Kentucky bluegrass, and TB 676 hybrid bluegrass; the latter two being experimental cultivars (Fig. 1).
In general, the tall fescue cultivars were more drought tolerant (higher Days50 values) than the bluegrasses. Ten of the eleven most drought tolerant cultivars were tall fescue whereas only one of the six least drought tolerant cultivars was tall fescue. All of the Kentucky bluegrass cultivars
were among the bottom half of those tested with regard to drought tolerance. There was not a clear trend in drought tolerance among hybrid bluegrass cultivars with two of the four (TB 390 and Thermal Blue) having Days50 values greater than 43, and the other two cultivars (TB 676 and Solar Green) having Days50 values below 33.
Previous research has shown that drought tolerance among tall fescue cultivars is primarily a function of high root/shoot ratio (Karcher et al.,
2008). However, root/shoot ratios were not evaluated in the present study. The mechanisms responsible for improved drought tolerance in
Kentucky bluegrass are less clear and do not appear to be related to root/shoot ratio (Richardson et al., 2008). Other factors, such as stomatal resistance, osmotic adjustment, reduced electrolyte leakage, and increased photosynthetic efficiency, probably play a greater role in the drought tolerance of Kentucky bluegrass compared to tall fescue. None of these factors were evaluated in the present study.
These results demonstrate that there are differences in drought tolerance among cool-season grasses used in Arkansas lawns. Therefore, drought tolerance screening should be performed routinely on these species so that cultivars may be selected that are best adapted for lawns where irrigation
in not available or is limited.

Anything that is fun. Going to a show, concert, movie, or dinner and then just walking around ouside talking and getting to know each other.
Get together see if we can just have fun no stereotypical dates for me
Walking and talking in a park or along river/lake. Lunch and more talking. And hopefully take it from there
I enjoy trying new fun exciting safe activities so, I think on a first date I would like for us to go to diner and them probably rent two bikes and have a nice bike ride.
I'm am up for anything as long as I'm with good company the more creative the better though makes me think you actually want to be with me.
Going somewhere nice where we can get to know each other
I'm not picky. Coffee, a bike ride, a festival, making pottery, a sporting event, dinner, lunch, or maybe rock climbing.
as long as we get to have alone time so we can get to know each other its good. :)
Anything can be fun with the right person..some of the best dates are just talking and getting to really know each other
Someplace where you can talk, see each other and hear each other. No movies or concerts etc a nice dinner or just drinks and a walk.
Well of course i would have to say that we should go to dinner and maybe a movie. But i also like to let the lady pick, I want you to have fun . Nothing i want more than to satisfy you .
I rather enjoy chatting get to know than see from there

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — NBC executives said Sunday they are conscious about the amount of violence they air in the wake of real-life tragedies like the Connecticut school shooting, but have made no changes in what has gone on the air or what is planned.
NBC isn't a "shoot-'em-up" network, said network entertainment President Jennifer Salke.
The level of violence on television, in movies and video games has been looked at as a contributing factor — along with the availability of guns and a lack of mental health services — in incidents such as the Dec. 14 attack in a Newtown, Conn., school where 20 first-graders and six educators were killed.
Like many in Hollywood, NBC questioned a link between what is put on the air and what is happening in society.
"It weighs on all of us," said NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt. "Most of the people at this network have children and really care about the shows that we're putting out there. It's always something that's been on our mind but this brought it to the forefront."
NBC hasn't needed to take any tangible steps like minimizing violence in its programming or deemphasizing guns, Salke said, because NBC didn't have much violence on the air. It might be different "if we were the 'shoot-'em-up' network, she said.
She didn't name such a network, but said violence might be an issue on a network that airs many crime procedural shows. That's a staple of CBS' lineup. Greenblatt, who was head of Showtime when the "Dexter" series about a serial killer was developed, said CBS' "Criminal Minds" is "worse than 'Dexter' ever was."
Within an hour after both executives spoke, NBC showed reporters at a news conference highlights of its show "Revolution" that included a swordfight, a standoff between two men with guns, a bloodied man, a building blown up with a flying body and a gunfight.
Later clips of the upcoming series "Deception" featured several shots of a bloodied, dead body.
NBC also is developing a drama, "Hannibal," based on one of fiction's most indelible serial killers, Hannibal Lecter. An airtime for the show hasn't been scheduled, but it could come this spring or summer.
Salke said there is more violence in Fox's upcoming drama "The Following," also about a serial killer, than there will be in "Hannibal." Much of the violence in the upcoming NBC show, created by former "Heroes" producer Bryan Fuller, is implied and not gratuitous.
"We respect the talent and like what he is doing, so we are standing behind him," Salke said. She said there's been a spate of programs about creepy killers because they've been such indelible characters.
Greenblatt said he wasn't trying to be glib, but one of the best tonics for people upset about real-life violence is to watch an episode of NBC's "Parenthood." He said it's a great example of a family that loves each other and grapples with many issues.
"Ultimately, I think you feel good at the end of the day," he said.

Every issue of National Geographic now available digitally
Remember back when a 1 gigabyte hard drive was an impressive feat, and it was exciting to save a few pages on a floppy disc? Maybe I fall into awe a little too easily at how huge our drives are today, but it blows my personal world away that every single issue of National Geographic is on a 160 GB hard drive.
The hard drive contains every article and (get this) advertisement, along with thousands of photographs, from 1888 to 2009. It come with the usual sounding extras, like a bonus DVD with tips on taking better photos, behind-the-scenes looks at how the magazine is created and exclusive interviews.
What's most amazing to me is the fact that these date back to 1888. Not only were those issues preserved, they're now digital and available to read. Every printed page.
Pretty neat.

Signal Knob Middle School's FFA Chapter (Strasburg, VA) has been named the top Middle School FFA Chapter in America. This award was announced October 31 at the National FFA Convention held in Louisville, Kentucky. In mid-August the Signal Knob Chapter had been selected as one of five national finalists.
Early in the summer, Signal Knob's FFA Chapter had been selected the top Middle School Chapter in Virginia and also the top Overall Chapter in Virginia at the 2013 state FFA Convention held in Blacksburg, VA. The Overall category included both middle and secondary schools.
The Middle School state level award secured their spot at the national level. Following the state convention, Jaclyn Roller, FFA Advisor and Agriculture teacher, added the required photos and captions to their national application and submitted it for consideration. She knew that being named the best chapter in the nation required that a chapter first be selected as one of five finalists, and throughout the summer, she and her students waited for news.
Roller was at a yard sale on August 9 when she received a text message from Sherry Heishman, agriculature teacher and FFA advisor at Central High School, telling her the good news. Roller raced from the yard sale to her parents' home to check out the National FFA website for herself. And there it was in alphabetical order:
2013 National Chapter Award Generated 8/7/2013 10:54:27 AM
Outstanding Middle School Finalists
Chatham Middle FFA of Virginia
Lincoln Middle FFA of Florida
Signal Knob Middle School FFA of Virginia
South Sumter Middle School FFA of Florida
Tomlin Middle FFA of Florida
The competition continued this week (October 30 - November 2) at the National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Each of the top five middle school finalists had selected two of their students to be interviewed and to make a twenty minute slide show presentation.
Hannah Orndorff and Nathan McDonald represented Signal Knob Middle School.
Hannah Orndorff and Nathan McDonald conduct
a session on how to be an FFA officer at the Blast-Off
Leadership workshop.
"I get goose bumps," said Roller in an interview last August, "at the opening of the National FFA Convention. There is a "sea of blue and gold" created by 50,000 students in their jackets. "The music, laser show, national officers on the stage, the motivational speakers---it's eye opening "
This year's National FFA Convention was bound to have been a major goose bumps event for Roller and her students. Hannah and Nathan presented Signal Knob's PowerPoint and were interviewed on October 30. It was probably a long night and a long day before the final announcement came on October 31 about 2:30 PM.
All five middle school finalists were on the stage together as they waited to hear what turned out to be great news for Signal Knob Middle School and all of Shenandoah County, Virginia. After summarizing the work of all five finalists, the announcer paused. "The winner is Singal Knob Middle School!" she exclaimed.
In addition to the Chapter competition, two Signal Knob FFA students, Amelia Guthie and Tiffany Heishman, qualified for the National Agriscience Fair. These results are not yet available.
Congratulations, Signal Knob Middle School FFA students and Jaclyn Roller, agriculture teacher and FFA adviser.

"Iowa senator's request revives controversy over medical device used at Northwestern
Cat Zakrzewski, Reporter
April 3, 2014 •
A U.S. senator is analyzing new documents he requested from Northwestern related to a 2008 controversy over a medical device patients alleged was used before it was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, a spokeswoman told The Daily on Wednesday.
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote "several inadequacies" existed in reports NU provided the committee in 2008 and 2009 about an annuloplasty ring implanted at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. In 2007, Dr. Nalini Rajamannan, a former NU professor and cardiologist, accused her colleague Dr. Patrick McCarthy of implanting a ring, formerly called the Myxo ring, that did not yet have FDA approval in patients without consent.
"The study should have stopped and informed consent given to patients," Rajamannan, who once worked on the study with McCarthy, wrote in an email to The Daily. "(I'm) trying to protect the patients and to protect the integrity of Northwestern University from unauthorized human experimentation during open heart surgery."
Rajamannan's employment was terminated at NU in September 2011. The next month, she told The Daily she thought her tenure was denied due to whistleblowing in the Myxo ring experiment. At the time, University spokesman Al Cubbage would not comment on the reasons Rajamannan was denied tenure.
Grassley's request for more information from NU came after Rajamannan told the senator NU withheld a series of documents related to the senator's 2008 and 2009 requests, including a waiver of consent form, according to a letter he addressed to University President Morton Schapiro and Northwestern Memorial Hospital president Richard Gannotta.
Rajamannan said she found the waiver in February in Cook County court documents. She said she then informed the Judiciary Committee, the Northwestern Institutional Review Board and NU's Board of Trustees of her findings.
Grassley's letter also says McCarthy has made "contradictory statements" about the Myxo ring and preexisting devices. He also said it is unclear if patients "received sufficient notice of the safety questions that arose" regarding the ring.
McCarthy invented the ring, which was similar to one already cleared for use by the FDA. NMH spokeswoman Holli Salls told The Daily in 2011 the updated ring was commercially available at the time of the procedure and was in turn thought to be approved by the FDA. Salls said the FDA later told the manufacturer the updated ring should have undergone a more rigorous FDA approval process.
In April 2009, the device was cleared under the new name dETlogix Annuloplasty Ring.
Cubbage said NU submitted the documents the senator requested by the March 14 deadline he set. He would not release a copy of the report the University provided to Grassley because he said it contained "confidential" information. Jill Gerber, Grassley's spokeswoman, said the senator plans to release the documents.
Cubbage declined to comment on the Grassley's assertion NU withheld key documents when the committee investigated the Myxo case in 2008 and 2009.
Gerber said the senator plans to release a response to NU soon but could not provide a specific timeline.
Editor's Note: This story has been updated to clarify the timeline by which Rajamannan informed Northwestern of her findings."

Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, were lying low after the election loss last fall. But now they're giving interviews and talking about Obama's second term, Washington scandals, and an issues summit Mr. Romney is hosting next week at a Utah mountain resort.
When Mitt Romney lost last November to President Obama, it seemed a safe bet that he and his wife, Ann, would fade from public view. On balance, Republicans weren't all that impressed with Mr. Romney's campaign or his political chops.

Yep...feel the same way! And lately nothing sounds good.. Blah!
For sure.
I have felt so nauseous all day. No matter what I eat OR don't eat I still feel pretty sick afterwards. I haven't thrown up yet...at all (thank God).
I chuck it up to "my baby is obviously healthy and progressing" but boy does it feel terrible.
Small, frequent meals are the key! Also, if you are having heart burn, chewing papaya extract tablets helps SO MUCH and really cuts down on the Tums.
Mine isn't terrible yet, but I was sick forever last time.
nogitron:My hunger and my stomach capacity are no longer in sync!
This!!! Though instead of just uncomfortable after eating, if I eat one bite past full I'm sick for 20 min or so, but I've only lost my lunch once.

|The Virden family papers, spanning the years 1783-1901, consist of thirty-six letters, receipts, deeds, accounts, and other documents, mostly relating to the family of Samuel Virden of Kent County. Although the papers do not provide a well-rounded portrait of the Virden family, some of the estate papers, receipts, and letters can provide a rough estimation of Samuel Virden's business and financial dealings when considered together. Some of the most noteworthy documents in the collection, however, have a historical significance discrete from the Virden family. These include an anonymous Revolutionary War era account book of household earnings and expenditures; several expressive letters written by the young Virden sisters and their friends between 1840-1862; an 1864 letter to John W. Hall detailing Civil War hostilities near City Point, Virginia; Edwin Virden's 1865 letter regarding life in post-Civil War Jackson, Mississippi; and a letter to Peter Lowber Smock Virden regarding Delaware politics during the free silver controversy of 1896.
