The Jiu-Jitsu school programme, which began in 2008, is available to 13,000 pupils, grades 6 and 7 ( aged between 9 to 14 years old), in schools across the UAE. This includes more than 2000 girls.
The long-term goals are:
To improve the health of young Emiratis and teach them fitness, self-defense and discipline
To nurture a new generation of Jiu-Jitsu champions and thus develop a strong national team
Regional championships take place annually and encompass schools in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region
Last year, 25 coaches from Brazil worked in the programme, and even more have been added to handle the increase in schools. The coaching team includes more than 20 world champions.
In the 2009/2010 school year the project was expecting by adding 28 more schools 6 schools for girls and 24 schools for boys ) and to include grades 6 to 8. The total of schools is now 42 and this includes 81 Brazilian jiu-jitsu trainers.
For the 2010/2011 school year the Abu Dhabi Education Council decided to increase the project with a further 21 schools( 4 schools girls and 17 schools boys) so now even more children will be able to participate in this amazing project.
The boys schools include;
Abu Dhabi
Al Ain
Western Region
The girls schools include;
Al Gharbia
Total number of girls in the School Jitsu Programme = 1340 students

Watch someone run through Dark Souls in under 90 minutes
It didn't take long at all for a post-worthy run of Dark Souls to make the rounds. Yeah, you might just want to save this for later (perhaps much later) if you aren't very far into the game yourself. At least for me, the sense of exploration -- and, as a result, dread -- is what appeals most.
That, and being able to tell stories about your in-game conquests. Even if that story is merely a tale about how you were an efficient hero interested in only killing the big demons.
And since this is as good of place as any to ask, where are you in Dark Souls? I genuinely want to know! After about 37 hours, I think I'm ready to see what's up with Lost Izalith.

Create Curb Appeal With Flowers
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (April 5, 2011) – Flowers are a low-cost way to add curb appeal to your home. They provide a positive first impression. And if you're selling your house, they'll entice prospective buyers to come inside and see more.
"Hot colors such as red, bright pink, yellow, orange and orange-red make distances seem shorter," said Lance Walheim, co-author of Landscaping for Dummies and gardening expert for Bayer Advanced™. "Cool colors such as white, blue, purple, deep red and pastels make spaces seem longer."
If you want to make a small yard seem bigger, plant hot colors at the entryway and cool colors at the far end of your yard to create a living watercolor painting.
- Take color cues from your house, paving or other blooming plants: You should choose complementary colors with similar shades to create a harmonious landscape with lots of character. You also want to fill empty spots. Need some help? Snap a photo of the area with your smart phone and show it to your local garden center expert. He or she can give you some great ideas.
- Maximize your mulch: Mulch makes your garden look neat and protects your flowers, trees and shrubs. It also helps keep the weeds out. Your options include pine straw, shredded bark and nuggets. Choose one type for consistency throughout your landscape. If you need a lot of mulch, buy it all at one time to save money on delivery costs.
- Protect your flowering investment: Flowers need food. They also need to be protected against insects and diseases. Bayer Advanced All-In-One Rose & Flower Care Granules (BayerAdvanced.com) provides all three. Sprinkle it around the plant, work it into the soil and water it in for six weeks of protection. Always read and follow label directions.
Proper watering will make your landscape a flowering success. Stick your finger a few inches into the soil. If it's dry, it's time to water. If the forecast calls for rain within 24 hours, then Mother Nature will help you save money on your water bill. Otherwise, use a soaker hose to water your flowers, since it's more effective than spraying with your garden hose.

Prevailing In Spite Of Nature
Located in the city of Gulf Shores on the coast of Alabama, Gulf State Park consists of 6,150 acres of pristine parkland. Nowhere else in the United States can one find fresh water (Lake Shelby) so near the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico. These unusual conditions help create one of the country's most unique state parks. The park is a natural gem featuring two miles of sugarwhite beaches, maritime forests and a habitat where animal and bird species flourish.
This area, however, is not always so peaceful. Throughout the past 25 years, Mother Nature has certainly made her presence known. In September 1979, Hurricane Frederick pounded the coast of Alabama and destroyed miles of beachfront property as well as 10 of the 28 cabins located in Gulf State Park. It took more than two decades, but in 2002, the state finally decided to rebuild and refurbish the areas affected by Frederick. The architecture, planning and interior design firm of Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates (TVS) was contracted to design a master plan for a portion of the park, which included a new hotel and conference center, in addition to the refurbishment or reconstruction of the cabins and pavilion affected by the hurricane.
A Stormy Beginning
Design of the new structures was completed in the summer of 2004. Bids for the project were accepted, but two weeks later–in September–Hurricane Ivan devastated the Gulf Coast. In addition to the 10 cabins destroyed by Frederick, another cabin was leveled by Ivan. State officials had to reconsider previous plans for the park while evaluating the massive rebuilding efforts needed throughout the Gulf Coast area of Alabama. Therefore, plans were scaled back, but everyone was determined to move the project forward to revitalize the park. The decision was made to reconstruct the 11 cabins and build a new beach pavilion along the Gulf of Mexico. Respectfully, the contractors already hired for the project were willing to stand by their bids and resolved to stay on schedule.
Aside from the cabin destruction, Hurricane Ivan also destroyed much of the dunes and vegetation in the park, including the site originally planned for the pavilion. Ivan had carved a trench from an inland lake to the Gulf that cut through the design team's proposed site. Subsequent investigation revealed a similar trench after Hurricane Frederick hit several decades earlier. It was agreed that Nature wanted the path to remain clear, so the pavilion site was moved several hundred feet to the west. Due to the extensive damage to the beach, a substantial amount of sand had to be moved back onto the site before piles could be driven and the floor slab could be poured. Throughout the process, millions of gallons of sand were dredged from the Gulf and placed upon the battered dunes.
Back To The Drawing Boards
Work on the cabins and pavilion began in 2005, but Nature continued to plague the Gulf Coast. Four major storms, including Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, impacted the site of the cabins and pavilion, and caused damage to the facilities. Hurricane Katrina left three feet of water at the cabin sites, and contractors suffered heavy material losses. In addition, Katrina also destroyed thousands of trees in the park that had been weakened by Hurricane Ivan. Meanwhile, Hurricane Rita dumped loads of sand into the beach pavilion. Regardless of the setbacks, the remarkable team of designers and contractors worked together to ensure a successful project for the Alabama State Parks and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).

The election of Democrat Barack
Obama as the next American president has left onlookers questioning
the future of US defense spending... but aerospace analysis firm
Forecast International predicts spending won't decrease
significantly under an Obama administration.
The Pentagon under the Bush administration witnessed
unprecedented budget growth as a result of towering base budgets
combined with hundreds of billions of dollars in supplemental
wartime funding. Given the government's growing deficit and the
fragile state of the US economy, these soaring budgets would have
been deemed unaffordable no matter which party entered the White
"The tremendous spending increases of the last eight years
therefore appear to have come to an end, though that is not to say
that sweeping cuts are looming," said Shaun McDougall, Forecast
International's North America Military Market analyst.
According to FI, having the biggest impact on topline spending
in the near future will be the war in Iraq, as overall levels of
defense spending will gradually decrease as violence declines and
the pace of operations winds down.
"It should be noted, however, that the military will still
require significant recapitalization funds to replace lost or
damaged equipment even after combat troops are withdrawn," stated
McDougall. Obama will stand by this critical investment, though he
will seek to end the days of supplemental spending bills by
consolidating all defense appropriations. This move will provide
improved oversight of wartime funds, and could put an end to some
questionable procurement strategies.
Iraq demonstrated the unpreparedness of US forces to sustain
prolonged ground operations, as proven by extended deployments in
the face of falling readiness levels across the board. In response
to these shortfalls, Obama will continue a plan initiated by
President George W. Bush to expand the Army and Marine Corps by a
combined 92,000 members, which will require a substantial financial
commitment in terms of both personnel costs and associated
The National Guard and Reserve forces have also been strained by
the wars, and will require continued investment as they prepare to
face future domestic and foreign challenges. FI says one should
therefore not anticipate the same drawdown that came under
President Bill Clinton following the fall of the Soviet Union.
"The spending vacation of the 1990s has had a dramatic impact on
today's military, one that the Pentagon is still struggling to
recover from," McDougall states. The Air Force's aircraft fleet
continues to age, and the Navy's 280 deployable ships are not
enough to support the service's maritime strategy.
Obama says that the US "must preserve [its] unparalleled
airpower capabilities to deter and defeat any conventional
competitors," and adds that he would support naval recapitalization
by replacing aging ships and modernizing existing platforms.
"This is not to say that the DoD will be impervious to today's
fiscal constraints," Forecast cautions. "Each of the Pentagon's
programs will be assessed by the incoming administration, and
indeed some will be reduced in scope or cut altogether. Missile
defense, the Airborne Laser, and the Army's Future Combat Systems
will face the most scrutiny from an Obama administration early on,
as will efforts to replace a deteriorating nuclear stockpile.
Additional savings can also be expected through sorely needed
acquisition reform, which Obama strongly supports."
Obama's priorities will be made more apparent upon his retooling
of the US National Security Strategy, and even more so following
the release of the next Quadrennial Defense Review, which will
provide a comprehensive long-term view into the administration's
future defense plans.
"Despite a new party in the White House, the new strategic
documents in many ways will contain more similarities with their
predecessor's than differences," McDougall says.
Overall, the Pentagon will face the same daunting challenges on
Inauguration Day that it confronts now... and any administration
would be hard-pressed not to maintain a healthy defense budget.

Women's Basketball Schedule Released
August 3, 2013
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. -- The Master's College Athletic Department and sixth-year women's basketball head coach Dan Waldeck have released the Lady Mustangs' 2013-14 schedule.
"I think our preseason schedule prepares us for conference play, and our conference schedule definitely prepares us for postseason play," assessed Waldeck. "We've tried to schedule in such a way that will give us back-to-back games against quality opponents and simulate a national tournament experience. At least eight of our games on our non-conference schedule are against tournament-caliber teams on both the NAIA and NCAA levels. Ultimately, our goal is to stay healthy and compete each night in a way that honors God."
The Lady Mustangs' campaign will begin with a tour of the Pacific Northwest where they will engage in exhibition games against a pair of NCAA Division1 teams: Washington State and Eastern Washington.
From there, the squad will look to advance its 2013 postseason No. 12 national ranking by battling through 29 regular-season contests. Of the aforementioned games, 26 meetings will be against NAIA teams, including five opponents featured in the 2012-13 NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Coaches' Postseason Top 25 Poll: No. 1 Westmont, No. 3 Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) No. 7 Westminster (Utah), No. 8 Vanguard, and No. 21 Carroll College (Mont.).
Also highlighting the Lady Mustangs' schedule is a December 16 contest against Wayland Baptist (TX), one of the elite women's basketball programs in the NAIA. Eleven days later, the squad will host its annual holiday classic, featuring meetings against Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.) and Westminster.
Slated to compete in 31 games, the Lady Mustangs will play 17 of those in the newly-renovated MacArthur Center. November 14 will mark the Lady Mustangs' home opener against Bethesda University of California.
In the 2012-13 season, the Lady Mustangs posted 25 wins (25-6), the fourth-most in program history, finishing a strong third in the Golden State Athletic Conference, and returning to the NAIA National Tournament for the first time in five years.
Looking to continue the club's success, coach Waldeck has signed four key additions who are expected to work well with the nine returning players.

But the music that got left behind was substantial." For the first time, fans will have access to two discs containing a total of 21 previously-unreleased songs from the Darkness recording sessions, songs that, as Springsteen writes, "perhaps could have/should have been released after Born To Run and before the collection of songs that Darkness on the Edge of Town became." Highlights include the extraordinary rock version of "Racing in the Street," the never-before-released original recordings of "Because the Night," "Fire," and "Rendezvous," the supreme pop opus "Someday (We'll Be Together)," the hilarious "Ain't Good Enough for You," the superb soul-based vocal performance on "The Broken Hearted," the utterly haunting "Breakaway," and the now finally released, fully orchestrated masterpiece and title song, "The Promise." All 21 songs have been mixed by Springsteen's long-time collaborator, Bob Clearmountain. According to long-time manager/producer Jon Landau, "There isn't a weak card in this deck. 'The Promise' is simply a great listening experience." Lyrics to all of the songs, a new essay from Bruce Springsteen and never-before-seen photographs from the Darkness sessions are also included.

Cable Franchises
City of Boston Massachusetts
Office of The Mayor
Office of The Mayor
Comcast 2008 Cable Renewal Hearing
Watch Video »
DATE: July 17, 2002
Mayor Thomas M. Menino today approved the cable television franchise transfer sought by AT&T Corp. for the newly-formed AT&T Comcast Corporation and approved a license amendment aimed at completing the Boston System upgrade, improving customer service, capping rate increases and providing stiffer penalties for non-compliance with license terms. Boston's cable rates are unregulated by federal order.
Mayor Menino said "Approving this transfer was only possible with a strong license that guarantees construction deadlines, local customer service response, and a pledge to halt runaway rate increases.
In return for negotiating the new construction timetable, AT&T Broadband agreed in January 2002 to:
- Reduce the Basic Service Rate (BST) for Boston customers from $9.38 to $7.63.
- Not increase the Basic rate in 2002.
- Not increase the BST Rate between Years 2003 and 2008 by more than 6.5% per year.
- Reduce the final surcharge in the BST Rate for the system upgrade from Cablevision's $2.45 to a new maximum of $1.50 per customer per month in any given year.
- Eliminate any capital surcharge for customers until the system upgrade is completed per Sections 3.2 and 3.4 of the License.
- Continue offering the current $5.00 Senior Citizen Basic Service Discount for the remainder of the term of the current renewal license.
The Franchise Amendment provides definitive completion dates for the cable system rebuild. (11 of 17 neighborhoods are substantively complete with the remaining 6 marked for completion by year's end.) The amendment incorporates tougher reporting standards, specific compliance measures, harsher penalties for non-compliance, and specific requirement for the BHA, North End, Chinatown and other under-served areas.
Through the Amendment, AT&T Broadband will operate 7 neighborhood offices and an expanded Call Center. AT&T is committed to a $250,000 upgrade at their Travis St. facility. They've also increased the facility's workforce by more than 100 staffers following last year's difficulties with outages, customer service and account conversions. The Call & Tech Support Center employs approx. 400 workers. AT&T will also provide a fiber network for city use as a data network across 250 buildings.
July 17, 2002
The impact on a community such as Boston of a cable system's sale and transfer is described as "stepping into the shoes" of the current operator. The concessions, benefits, deadlines and services agreed to by Cablevision in the May 11, 1998 renewal franchise were accepted by AT&T Broadband in their Jan. 5, 2001 license transfer and will be accepted by AT&T Comcast when the merger is completed. The amendments approved today will be incorporated into the existing license.
The impact on programming delivery and local access television should be minimal. No changes in the license are contemplated or capable of being negotiated in this transfer. The license being transferred is held intact and the scope of determination is defined in state law.
The Mass. CMR 207 4.04: Standard of Review for License Transfer states, "In reviewing an application for a transfer or assignment of a license or control thereof, an issuing authority shall consider only the transferee's management experience, technical expertise, financial capability, and legal ability to operate a cable system under the existing license.
Information regarding the cable license transfer filing and the transfer process is available at the City Clerk's Office, Boston City Hall Room 601; & posted on the Internet at: www.cityofboston.gov/cable.

Why the Pilgrims Abandoned Communism
The Pilgrims' Short Lived Experiment in Communism
Many have credited Karl Marx with inventing what we now know as communism in the middle of the 19th century. The concept of communal living and dependence, however, came long before The Communist Manifesto. Over the centuries, the concept has been applied by different people in different places. While the reasons for applying the communal approach varied as widely as the people who attempted it, one thing did remain constant: failure. From Roman latifundiae to the Soviet Union, communism time and again proved the failure inherent in its concept. Americans do not need to look to distant lands and little known peoples for evidence of the failure of communism. They simply need to look back at one of the most celebrated groups of people in their history: the Pilgrims.
As most educated Americans know, Puritan Separatists, or Pilgrims, landed in Massachusetts in 1620. What many don't realize is that the original economic system of their colony, Plymouth Plantation, was a form of communism. There was neither private property nor division of labor. Food was grown for the town and distributed equally amongst all. The women who washed clothes and dressed meat did so for everyone and not just for their own families. This sounds like the perfect agrarian utopia envisioned by Marx and Lenin. What happened to it? To find the answer to that question, one must turn to Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford. Bradford served as Governor of Plymouth Colony from 1620 to 1647 and chronicled in great detail everything that happened in the colony.
By 1623, it was obvious the colony was barely producing enough corn to keep everyone alive. Fresh supplies from England were few and far between. Without some major change, the colony would face famine again. In his chronicle, Bradford described what was going wrong and how it was solved (pardon the King James English):
All this while no supply was heard of, neither knew they when they might expect any. So they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery. At length, after much debate of things, the Governor (with the advise of the chiefest among them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves; in all other things to go in the general way as before. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of the number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.

Rush goes into this the third hour every Day-before-Thanksgiving. And every year it is a worthwhile listen. Is it going to take a near-famine to wake up the 51% who feed off the rest of us+3
I love telling the "real" story of the Pilgrims, and the Jamestown Colony for that matter, as both flirted with utter disaster and ruin until they gave up their collectivist "ideals."
What is surprising is so many people ARE NOT aware of it. Proggie edjewkashun werks fer ignoraimusses!+5
I enjoy pointing out to my lib friends the fact that socialism and communism (they still don't like being thought of as communist – although that's what they really are) have failed o=in virtually every society in which it has been tried. Eventually, my lib friends would make the argument that "yes, but that was them, this is us."
However, the Pilgrims were "us." Puritans were normally hard working and pious, but they were also intolerant and heavy handed at times. One would think that given these characteristics, a form of communism would work, but it in fact failed.
As this piece points out, the Pilgrims' system failed even though hard work and strict moral characteristics were a part of their belief system. However, we are now in the process of again instituting communist principles and systems – only without the work ethic and moral underpinnings which were a professed integral part of the Pilgrim lifestyle.+6
The problem with Communism isn't that people are selfish, greedy, sinful, etc. It fails because people use their common sense.
With communism your choice is a.) Do unpleasant, hard work and share the reward with everyone (those who do their best and those who do not) b.) Don't work as hard and still get a share in everyone else's work. When the whole community does the same level of B.S. work there are only three alternatives left 1.) Create slave masters to force everyone to work involuntarily 2.) starve and have society collapse 3.) reform into a market economy and set everyone free to rise or fall as they will. History shows that ALL nations reform into market economies even if they have to wait for the passing of the founder generation to acheive it.+4
You can even take this back an additional 1600 years or so to the time after Christ's Resurrection and ascension. It starts out with the new converts "having all things in common" and ends up with Paul admonishing the church fifty shorts years later that "if any man won't work, neither shall he eat".
But of course Hussein and his minions wouldn't know that now, would they? Marxists never do…..+3
Thank you for pointing that out from Scripture.
There is really nothing new under the sun.+1

to make even a little bit of progress on this house! Everything is just so old and dingy. And falling apart.
The washing machine leaks, the fridge leaks, the faucet leaks… and even the cat leaks!
Seriously, the orange cat peed on my suitcase the other day (and then he puked on the carpet- What fun!). I can't get the cat-pee smell out. It's a soft backpacky-type suitcase, and I even put it in the washing machine twice, once with a cup of vinegar. Still smelly.
And yes, just for the record the cat is sick, but he did these things the day after I got him treated at the vet :-(
Poor cat. Poor suitcase! The carpet's clean again though :-)

Calton Hill
Calton Hill is home to some of the most interesting and eccentric monuments in Great Britain and offers some of the most panoramic views of the city.
Princes Street Gardens
The Scottish love a good walk, and in Edinburgh, one of the best places to do that is at Princes Street Gardens, a gorgeous, lush park.
Old Town Closes
A favorite activity in Edinburgh is to explore Old Town's closes. These steep, narrow alleyways, which run off the Royal Mile, got their name because they used to be closed off at night.

The Enzo, Veyron, Carrera GT, Koenigsegg, et al each owe something to the car still considered by many to be the greatest supercar of all time, the McLaren F1. While they occasionally pop up on the used car market or in some of the higher end auctions around the world (the last one went for $1,705,000 at RM in Monterey last month), a McLaren F1's price is a bit steep for most of us. As with other desirable classics throughout the ages, the kit car and aftermarket body panel industry is here to help you out.
Read on to find what out production car lives beneath the this kit car's McLaren F1-inspired body...
[Source: DDR]
In fact, DDR Motorsport will help you get just a little closer to your dream ride for less than 24 grand. Plus a donor Gen II MR2 Turbo. The idea here is that the basic running gear of the '90-'96 MR2 is fairly stout, but the chassis could use some beefing up. So the DDR team of racer Diego Grullón and master craftsman Juan Ovalle teamed up with Trans Am car builder Kerry Hitt of ACP Motorsports, to build a unique chassis that would incorporate the MR2 mechanicals and make it an affordable supercar.
The resulting DDR SP4 will be available in kit form for around $23,700 depending on options. A list of assemblers will also be available soon for those who just want to get in and drive. The finished product should be something like the recently debuted Lotus Europa S - 2200 lbs, 200-260 hp 2.0-liter turbo 4, and awesome handling. And with bodywork that makes it look like a cross between a McLaren and a JGTC racecar, it might just be more of a looker than the Lotus. And if that isn't enough power for you, the next project, the SP8, is going to use a Corvette LS-1 V-8 with as much as twice the power as the SP4 at a promised gain of only 100 pounds. Hope they send one of each over for testing.
More pics and details can be found at the DDR Motorsports website.

A Solution: GYNECARE INTERCEED® Absorbable Adhesion Barrier
GYNECARE INTERCEED® is a lightweight, tissue-like "fabric" adhesion barrier that your doctor can apply to organs to protect and separate them during the healing process. The fabric eventually dissolves as your body heals.
GYNECARE INTERCEED® is clinically proven effective to reduce adhesion formation by 50%.1
How GYNECARE INTERCEED® Works
Most pelvic organs are at least partially wrapped in a clear membrane called the peritoneum (per-i-TOE-nee-um). When this delicate membrane is damaged during surgery, it becomes inflamed. Inflammation is normal and part of the healing process, but inflammation also encourages fibrous bands of scar tissue to develop, which can lead to adhesions.
Your doctor places GYNECARE INTERCEED® over your pelvic organs during your C-section or pelvic surgery.
GYNECARE INTERCEED® acts as a barrier between healing tissue surfaces, preventing them from adhering or "sticking" together. The fabric eventually dissolves as your body heals.
Who is a candidate for GYNECARE INTERCEED®?
You may be a candidate for GYNECARE INTERCEED® if you are preparing to undergo one of these common gynecologic procedures:
Cesarean section
Surgical treatment of endometriosis
Ovarian surgery
Reconstructive tubal surgery
GYNECARE INTERCEED® may not be used in the presence of infection.
What are the risks of GYNECARE INTERCEED®?
All surgical procedures present some risks, so be sure to talk to a doctor about whether GYNECARE INTERCEED® is right for you.
For a complete description of risks related to this treatment, please see the Adverse Reactions section of the Risk Information.
This information represents no statement, promise or guarantee by Ethicon, Inc., concerning insurance coverage, levels of reimbursement, payment, or charge. Please consult your payor organization with regard to local or actual coverage determination processes.
Talk to your doctor before the surgery
Since adhesions can recur once you have them, it's important to talk to your doctor about what can be done to reduce the risk of them forming in the first place.

Maoantan pegmatite field, Quanzhou Co., Guilin Prefecture, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China
Granite pegmatite dykes with polymetallic rare-metal mineralizations (Ta-Nb-Zr-Hf-Be-Sn-W and minor U), hosted in volcaniclastic rocks of the Proterozoic Danzhou group along NE-trending second-order fractures within a narrow stretch of land between two NNE-trending shear zones along the eastern margin of a composite batholith, which is composed mainly of Caledonian medium-grained porphyritic biotite granite. The pegmatites are poorly differentiated and do not exhibit zoning phenomenons, but there is zoning observed within the field in that the tantalum, niobium and tin grades increase from the north to the south.
Latitude: 26°12'N
Longitude: 110°50'E
Longitude: 110°50'E
The pegmatite field forms part of a U-W-Mo-Sn mineralization belt that extends for more than 100 km between Luzhai County of Liuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou County of Guilin Prefecture. Within this belt, more than 50 deposits were discovered that cover a wide range of genetic types, including magmatic, pegmatite and skarn mineralizations, tin-bearing placers, and hydrothermal deposits formed at high to low temperatures.
NOTE: Li and Zhang (1995) refer to this locality as an undisclosed pegmatite deposit "in some area of Guangxi", but they provide geological details that are very obviously the same as those provided by other authors for the Quanzhou ore field and the tin-tungsten deposits in Guanyang County, which all form part of the same metallogenic zone. The name of the pegmatite field and the grid reference are taken from the report by Kamitani et al. (2007).

"Prescription Drug Addiction An Under-Recognized Problem" By Allen Weiss, MD, MBA, President and CEO
Prescription Drug Addiction An Under-Recognized Problem
April 1, 2010 - An estimated 20% of Americans use prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. This overuse or abuse of pain medications, sedatives or stimulants can easily seduce the brain's "reward pathways" into desiring more medications than are needed or are therapeutic.
This downward spiral occurs with excess prescribing, loose control of "controlled substances" and the perceived need of some people to be either "up or down". Over a period of time the drugs control the person and not the other way around where the person controls the drugs.
Moods can be altered with prescription medications and, when used appropriately by responsible patients and physicians, the therapeutic effects are very beneficial. However, without supervision patients can easily be lured by prescription drugs. Desiring to be either excited or tranquil—or some other mood or behavior alteration which is aided and abetted by prescription drugs—is a common first step to the misuse of drugs and eventual addiction.
Most people start by using medications prescribed by their physicians for real, legitimate reasons. Over the past two decades, prescription drugs have been much easier to obtain, contributing to the alarming fact that almost half of all Americans takes at least one medication, while one in six takes three or more medications. From 1997 to 2007, the use of prescription medication increased 72% while the population of the United States increased only 11%, according to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
Granted, many of these medications are for medical conditions such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or diabetes, but a significant proportion are for mood alteration, pain, sleep or attention deficit disorder. At first, the drugs are helpful but when abused—either intentionally or by accident—the medications then cause physical and emotional harm to both the patient and his/her family.
This growing problem extends across the age spectrum. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, prescription drug abuse occurs in more than 17% of high school seniors. Another sobering statistic is that in 2000 43% of admissions from the Emergency Room for drug overdoses were due to prescription medication.
The mechanism for this addiction is now being elucidated. Researchers have found that Valium, Ativan, Xanax, heroin, marihuana and that entire family of prescription and illegal drugs share a common pharmacological brain pathway. These chemicals boost the calming action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter normally found in the brain.
GABA's mechanism of action boosts the effect of dopamine on the brain which stimulates the "reward" pathway making people feel better. As the brain acclimates to having excess GABA and dopamine, it responds by decreasing the amount of these substances produced intrinsically. Basically, the brain becomes dependent on outside sources for pleasure.
As someone tries to withdraw from abused prescription drugs the following symptoms are common:
• Anxiety
• Paranoia
• Changes in mood—from a sense of well being to belligerence
• Increased sensitivity to sights and sounds, including hallucinations
• Altered activity levels—ranging from excessive sleeping to manic behavior
Obviously the best "treatment" is prevention. People can also increase the amount and beneficial effects of dopamine by exercising, eating well and generally taking care of themselves.
Fortunately, there are many excellent therapies available once the problem is recognized and addressed. Recently, Hazelden an internationally recognized leader in addiction has opened a treatment center in Naples. Breaking the cycle almost always requires help and support. You, your family, friends, work colleagues and professional care givers all need to be involved.
Prescription drugs are useful and appropriate when necessary. However, dependence and abuse are increasingly common. Individuals and physicians need to be on guard as we demand and prescribe, respectively, more and more medications.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Jeremy Anderson: The Next Bachelor?by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Rumors are flying that this week's bachelor eliminated by DeAnna Pappas, Jeremy Anderson, a 30-year-old real estate attorney from Dallas, Texas, will become the next star of The Bachelor when the series returns this fall.
Two weeks ago, Jeremy seemed conflicted about the idea of going through it again, according to Access Hollywood, and wasn't sure if ABC had interest.
Yesterday, though, reporters questioned whether or not he had thought about being the next star of The Bachelor and this time, Jeremy seemed more open.
"It was a great experience," Anderson said.
"It was probably the most enlightening thing I've ever done. I feel like I took more out of it than anyone."
This morning with the rumors growing louder, reporters questioned DeAnna Pappas on whether Jeremy Anderson would be a good pick as The Bachelor.
"Jeremy would make a great Bachelor because he has everything to offer. He is the perfect man," DeAnna Pappas said.
"He has a wonderful outlook on life and love. He has a great career ahead of him. He has a great dog. He has the total package."
Is he even available though? On a conference call, Jeremy Anderson admitted that he is currently dating someone but did not reveal who.
"I have started seeing someone," he said. "It was tough in the beginning and it was tough to get back out there because you can't really date while the show is going on. Once the show was over I could kind of explore the dating world in real life is a different universe to dating on TV."
Also rumored to be the next Bachelor? J.T. Torregiani.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Bachelor, The Bachelorette
jeremy and jesse they are nice guy...hope they will be next star at the bachelor im fan both of them
i hope jeremy and jesse will be the next star at the bachelor im fan both of them. hope they can find their true love
jeremy was my favourite from when he first got out the limo, how deanna missed that only she would know.
i hope that jeremy finds the happiness he deserves and that the woman to steal his heart cherishes it to the limit.
all the best for your future and God Bless. im a big fan of Reality tv.
Hy.I was so disppointed to see...that DeAnna didnt pick Jeremy. I am in love with this man. from the first i time i saw him i realoizes that he ...that he ..is so gorgeous....:) well i know he saye dhe date sameone and thats why i can honestly say that i wish him all the best.Sincerly .Daniella30.
and yes there needs to be some real women on this show instead of the petty, whining cry babies who think they are God's gift and then end up embarrassing themselves.
Really it is not classy to hand a man your underwear, or tell him dirty jokes, or do lude things to get his attention....something intelligent, surprising and convincing is much more exciting...
I think Jeremy, if he is still available, would be a wonderful bachelor...maybe he would be more sensitive than Deanna was after she got her chance to redeem her broken heart. I believe she was a real snot and played
these poor guys with her whining and crying. I think every other word out of her mouth was I know what you are going thru...yet she still played Jeremy, Jason, and Fred...the only one I did not like on the show was
Christopher (the non drinking virgin) he was so full of his righteousness he would have been the first out the door with me and Ron...He just wanted to cause trouble and was jealous of Jeremy....I can't believe the way she hurt Jeremy and Jason after having gone thru it herself....
Jeremy definitely deserves a chance to find his true love....
PLEASE stop putting stupid, whining airheads on the Bachelor show!!!!! Can't you find 25 girls in this country who don't have shrill voices and talk like Valley Girls? Come on guys, stop dumbing down this show - it's really pathetic. I'm absolutely sure your ratings would be soaring if you just got girls (women) who were not so desparate. And yes I would love to see Jeremy (my favorite) be the next Bachelor, after Jason, if he's still available. Talk about handsome,classy, and overflowing with charm. Pick some fabulous gals for him and watch your ratings soar!!!
Would love to have an encore of Trista and Ryan - that was a great show to watch.
jason is the new bachelor!! yay!!!
Jeremy is boring! Snore. I do not want to see him on the show again. He is predictable and seems full of himself at the same time. I believe he would be a lousy lover, he doesn't strike me as someone very sensual. He is more of a thinker, analytical type. DeAnna must have given him a chance on the over night date - either he was too small or just lacking skills - either way she said NEXT!! and moved on.
Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy ! PLEASE NO JASON !

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The invitation is pretty, easy to read, great colors and quality. I received them by fedex as expected. I have used this site a few times and it's been perfect every time!"
"Paper quality was beyond what I expected. The color of the card was so rich - opening the plastic that covered them, I actually scratched one of the cards down to white. The only suggestion I would have is that there be someplace to mention the groom's name. I didn't notice that until I was addressing the cards to people who might not know this young lady's future husband."
"I'm very happy with my bridal shower invitation and received a lot of compliments. i do wish the card stock could be a bit thicker and the print be less glossy but overall very pleased. Thanks Wedding Paper Dvias!"
"Easy to make them look good. I am not savey on line. they made it easy for me to look GOOD. They were perfect amd I will use you always!!!!"
"They did an excellent job of making information fit on the invitation. We had several hostesses as well as places that bride was registered at and they did a great job of making it all fit on invitation and look wonderful!"
