LAWMA has been set up to tackle the waste problem in the state and even though we still have many rivers to cross, progress has been achieved one way or the other.
Once upon a time, Lagos state was home to garbage. It ruled the streets and was found on every corner and imaginable place and space! Some unimaginable sites also laid claim to this menace and though it was the shame of the populace, the state government of the time felt no qualms. Life continued and the fight to combat it was half-hearted at best and ineffective at most. This struggle continued for years with no end in sight.
The Managing Director of Sun and Sand Industries said countries seeking to create wealth should embrace recycling
A Nigerian company, the Sun and Sand Industries Ltd., says 95 percent of raw materials are sourced from metallic wastes that are recycled for export to manufacture cars and ship parts.
The Managing Director of Sun and Sand Industries, Shweta Satija, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja.
Satija said that since 2005, the company had been recycling metallic waste from Nigeria, for export to high technology countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, UAE and India, for the manufacture of cars and ship engines, radiators and other parts.
Ghana, Nigeria big destinations for waste computers, TVs; Toxic metals like lead, mercury hurting African children.
British companies are illegally dumping thousands of tonnes of harmful electronic waste such as old computers in West Africa, instead of recycling them, an investigation by an environmental group said on Monday.
Taking advantage of a lack of oversight of recycling procedures, a number of waste management companies are taking unwanted televisions, phones and computers and selling them on to West Africa as goods, especially to Ghana and Nigeria.
The African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development, a nongovernmental organization, says it is set to intervene and assist communities that practice open defecation in Abuja to bring the practice to an end.
The Executive Director of the organization, Dr Otive Igbuzor, said the identification of such communities had gone underway to enable the centre to work with them.
The federal government is to begin work on the second phase of the scrap metal recycling plant in Kaduna State.
Darlington Amobi, the Chief Engineer, Federal Ministry of Environment, told the News Agency of Nigeria, on Friday in Abuja, that work on the project would commence as soon as the 2011 budget was released.
As part of efforts to kick-start the project, Amobi said abandoned vehicles and metals of different varieties were being collected across the country for transfer to the site of the plant for recycling.

The case for hanging EU bureaucrats
Butchers vow to fight planned EU ban on Scottish mince - The Daily Record
Brussels penpushers want to end the sale of properly aged beef mince - to prevent foodies poisoning themselves with raw steak tartare.
Farmers and butchers say the move will push up prices and make the family favourite less tasty.
And food bug expert Hugh Pennington says the new rules won't make beef any safer.
The new health rules state meat used to make mince should be cut less than six days after an animal's slaughter.
The FSA opposed the moves but have admitted defeat and are now in the process of informing butchers and food processors that the new rules must be implemented immediately.
It's feared the regulations will also push prices up as meat has to be processed more quickly - or binned if it misses the six-day limit.
The changes have been approved to protect consumers, mainly French, from eating potentially contaminated steak tartare - made from ground up raw steak mixed with egg and herbs.
The plans are the brainchild of health commissioner Markos Kyprianou, who quit last month. He outlined his crackdown in 2006 in the catchily titled Annex III, Section V, Chapter III, point 2 ( B ) to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
On his official EU webpage, Kyprianou said: "What I want to achieve is a Europe where all citizens, whether in northern Finland or in Sicily, in Porto or in Paphos, know and appreciate that they can enjoy food confident they will be safe, and that their rights will be well protected."
Tell Eurocrats to go hang - this reheated idea is still pure mince - Scotsman.com News
Meat, particularly beef, is hung to improve both its texture and taste. Enzymes in the meat soften the muscle tissue, making it both tender and more flavoursome, but this takes time and it has to be done under refrigeration. Many butchers survive the pressure from the supermarkets simply because they still prepare their meat in a traditional way and refuse to slap it on the counter only days, or hours, after slaughter.
Just compare two similar cuts of meat, one from the cheap end of the supermarket range and one from a local high-street butcher, and taste the difference.
Beef in Scotland is produced to be eaten after it is cooked, particularly mince. After three weeks of hanging, there may be bacteria in the meat, but this will be eradicated by the cooking process. Well-hung Scotch beef mince is not designed to be eaten raw.
I have no problem with people in eastern Europe who want to eat it raw, but we should not have to change the way we prepare meat just because of the way they want to eat it. It is a typically bureaucratic response from the EU. Rather than telling those who like steak tartare that they eat it at their own risk, we have to change our ways to fit in with them.
Hang'em all, for at least three weeks.
After drowning them in sloe gin...Winemaker faces £30,000 bill for eurobottles - Telegraph
The EU says it is illegal to sell his nine liqueurs - including bramble, walnut, ginger, sloe and strawberry - in his traditional 37.5cl bottles. They must measure 35cl instead.

ADRIAN OWENS - Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman, West Lancashire
Planning Rejection first step to a better heritage landmark
Ormskirk councillor and Conservative Parliamentary hopeful Adrian Owens today welcomes the decision of the planning committee to refuse planning permission for the conversion of the water tower on Tower Hill into 7 flats.
Adrian says The flat conversion plan was always over-development and the resulting building would have blighted Ormskirks skyline for generations to come. The rejection of planning approval is a welcome first step to producing a better heritage landmark for Ormskirk.
Adrian points to the recent establishment of a Building Preservation Trust with the support of English Heritage as a possible route to a more sympathetic renovation of the water tower.
There is a possible role too for the district council. The council owns part of the land required for development and quite rightly for a commercial development wanted a full market price of £150,000 for this land. However, regulations introduced 4 years ago allow the council to dispose of land at less than full market value where this contributes to the environmental well-being of the area. If the tower were renovated through the new Building Preservation Trust, then it might be possible for the council to accept a reduced value for their land as part of a sympathetic heritage conversion of the tower. Given its highly prominent position on the Ormskirk skyline I certainly believe that this should be considered by the council if the Building Preservation Trust take their plans forward. Adrian concludes.

We just use the default RM CC3 backgrounds.
Hi all, this has probably been discussed before but if you have a personalised wallpaper to school can you post it for us all to see?
which appears on all desktops?
We just use the default RM CC3 backgrounds.
Plain old boring default Windows Blue. Thought of creating a school background, but not got around to it yet.
admin account has black back ground, teachers backgroud is gray, and the kids is purple. makes it nice and easy at a glance to see if billy no mates is logged on as pupil or staff or worse administrator :-)
This is ours. Designed it myself in the summer, because I was fed up with boring old blue! Got it on all our machines as the default wallpaper, and behind the login window too. Looks very good when in use, although it's never going to win any design award.
We opted not to put the school badge on, as ours is a bloody awkward shape!
It's held locally on the C:\ drive of the machine, allowing me to have different resolution versions for each type of machine. I also have a script that checks a network share for a new version at machine startup, so it's fairly easy to change if we want to.
Black for teachers
Blue or Green for pupils (Depends upon school)
Both with school logo on a 640x120 graphic centered (fits all desktops)
I will post one of ours tomorrow, we customise ours depending on the user.
For example year 7s will get "2007 student" and the head gets "Headteacher".
I am going to suggest a special one for Christmas, what are your thoughts on that?
We always customise our wallpaper at christmas, and the header of our intranet and helpdesk system.
Would it be possible to show me an example of one please?
We always put a picture of Santa emptying his sack on the screens at xmas.....
We use the school crest on the desktop for the pupil accounts and staff can customise their own. The admin account has the standard bliss background.
Having a xmas'y desktop could be nice though - I might do that.
I was asked to produce two desktop backgrounds for my school. I produced a staff one and a student one. Both of which underwent many revisions at the request from the head of ICT until they were exactly as he wanted.
They looked both professional and they details on contacting ICT services for students and staff on the separate files.
A few months after i leave, they replace them with some sh*tty one for everyone that looks as if it's been done in mspaint and is a VERY poor copy of mine...same layout, similar content with regards to words. I found it quite offensive to be honest that they find that p*ss poor copy a better version than I produced after a few months of revising it down to an exact spec from the HoD.
Sounds a bit dodgey if you ask me . . . . .Originally Posted by tech_guy
I was going to change ours to this:We always put a picture of Santa emptying his sack on the screens at xmas.....
For some reason, they won't let me.
This is ours..

Hey Ladies!
sorry I have been kind of MIA. School (work) has been super busy. Anyways, how is the running going? Our posters have dwindled, but I know we still have a lot of runners out there!
Two questions/running comments for the week:
Has anyone purchased a support belt? I'm thinking of going to Motherhood after work tomorrow to buy one. A friend who ran through her last pregnancy told me the ones they carry there are good. Hopefully they aren't too expensive!
Has anyone purchased/registered for (or does anyone have) a jogging stroller? DH is a Baby Jogger rep, so we are getting the F.I.T. A fellow runner suggested that whatever we get, make sure it as a swivel wheel in the front. He said it was much easier for maneuvering.
I have my 1/2 marathon on Sunday! The plan is to rn 5 miles, walk 1, repeat, then run the last 1.1. I'll let y'all know how it goes! Anyone else getting in some fall races?
Happy running ladies!
I think it's been a while since I posted. My running is still going really well. I have felt great for a couple of weeks now. That being said, there are still some days that I'm pretty sore afterwards. It's mostly my pelvis and some achy RLP, but nothing too bad. Most of my runs hover around 3 miles but time has been pretty steady the last month or so. It will be interesting to see how well I can stick with my runs when it gets too cold out and I have to use the treadmill.
I haven't looked into a support belt yet and probably won't. I'm thinking if I get to the point that I feel like I need a belt, I may just hang up my running shoes until after the baby.
My mom got a used jeep jogging stroller that's in pretty good condition, so I'm hoping to use that once this little girl is old enough to go along.
Good luck with your half!
I haven't looked into a belt, but I think I need one. After long runs the RLP is excruciating and I think it would help.
Running has been getting harder. I'm having a hard time with muscle cramps in my legs, and it is incredibly frustrating. I got in a decent number of miles last week, two 5 milers, a 3 miler and a 10.5 miler. Today I couldn't even make it a mile before my legs were killing me. I really hope my body can hold out a few more weeks. My half is Oct. 20th.
Wow! Best of luck with your half!
I've never thought to get a belt - I ran all through my last pregnancy (well..more like a very slow jog toward the end) and never needed one.
I have the bumbleride indie and do love it but it's not a true jogging stroller, so if you're doing more than 10 miles a week, you'll wear it out like I did. Bumbleride replaced the frame though, so that was pretty amazing customer service. I'm getting the BOB duallie this round.
I'm getting a 3 mile run in every other day. Pushing the jogging stroller, hills are getting hard and my hips are getting a bit jello-ish.
I bought a support belt - this one from Amazon:
So far, I really like it! Not only for actual belly/back support - it also helps to keep your pants up if you're doing the "rubberband trick" If you read through reviews, they advise to buy one size up than the company's sizing recommends. Even though I fall within the weight range for a size Small, I went ahead and got a Medium. I'm currently on the tightest hook for it and it offers the perfect amt. of support; as I get bigger, I can change to the middle/last hook as needed.
Best of luck with your half! I'm afraid I'm one of the running mamas that sort of dwindled away. The bladder control issue while running just got too hard So nowadays I'm contenting myself with daily AM/PM resistance workouts, and walking every other day or so - not the same, but I guess it'll have to do for now.
I've still been getting my runs in - but they're shorter, slower, and involve a lot more walking than previously.. Which doesn't bother me as much as I expected it to! (I used to be soooooo OCD about getting long runs in / improving pace, etc.)
We registered for the City Jogger Summit.. BBB recommended it over the BOB since it has room for a taller child, so we figured it might last a little longer, since DH is so tall!
Hi Everyone,
I apologize for checking in for the first time at this point. I was so good at keeping up with the Bump for DS, but things are crazier this time around!
I am an assistant cross country coach, so needless to say, I have to keep up with my running. I'm still running M, W, F with the team (the most is 6 miles, the least is 3). I try and do alternative workouts on the weekend.
I'm not training for anything at this point, although I ran a half with DS at 4 months pregnant. After that I stopped running and switched to the elliptical. I usually run a half at the end of February in Fort Worth. I'm trying to talk to my dr. about letting me walk it (since I will have a c-section some time around Feb. 5).
Running is getting more difficult, mainly because I have to go to the bathroom all.the.time. Even if I go before the run, I will only make it 5-10 minutes before I feel like i have to go again. Also, I notice it's harder to breathe at my usual pace. I'm sticking to a 10-minute mile these days. I don't have a belt, but if it would help with the bladder problem, I'd definitely invest. Not sure how much longer I will go. Our season ends in a few weeks, although I'd like to keep up the running a little longer.
Y'all inspire me!!! Good luck!

OK, After spending several months at work with nothing to do but listen to podcasts, I now have a "real job" and I haven't been able to listen as much as I would have liked lately. Just this morning, I finally got up to show 98 where you mentioned the coin, and I tried to discover it but found it blocked. Well, I shoul dhave made time for PodCacher sooner so that I could have gotten my discovery in before it was too late.
Thanks for giving us latecomers a chance to still get in on this one!

The thing is, the coin belongs to the person that purchased it. And as an owner of coins I would be *very angry* if the took away any of my coins. Because that is basically what they have done......
Will they be offering the owners of these coins or TB tags a refund for the now inactive products? My guess is NO!
I am sure this is some sort of "uses too much website time and space" argument, but hey too bad. You promised this service when you sold, or agreed to allow the products to be logged on the website.
If this is an issue then Groundspeak needs to start charging more for the tags or for trackable icons to cover their expenses, but not go back and take away what we have already paid for._________________Last edited by Wayward Wanderers on Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:44 am; edited 2 times in total

Hmmm... maybe we should start an online petition for groundspeak to stop that practice? We could do an online one open to premium members and/or trackable item owners._________________My Blog

I've got to admit I was late to the ball to discover this coin - sometimes work gets in the way. I normally listen to the podcasts on my way to/from the office, but have been off the freeway for a couple of weeks and didn't jump on it right away. Oh well. By the way, congrats on the 100th show!

Anyway, I would have liked to discover it, so I'll just make my mark here.

good open house night at school
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 09-21-2012 - 7:26am
Last night was back to school night where we got to meet with teachers and find out about what they are doing and will be doing. Got some questions answered. She has no website because noone has trained them how to use the new site (insert eye roll...wouldn't it make sense to do that BEFORE you go live with new site?!?!?) Also got the OT thing fgured ouyt. She came for him this week when he was out. Was doing testing with other kids when year started, but its time for his reeval so we will hold off on IEP meeting until retested. Also he has both a gen ed and spec ed teacher in his class. I don't know exactly how many of his class are on IEP, I know of 2 others but only because I know the parents, but our school fully emerses special kids. There isn't a seperate classes expect for when they pull the kids for services such as OT,PT or reading so they have 2 teachers the special ed teacher deals with coordinating the IEP making sure accomidations are made and follwed (really happy about that because last years teacher was so clueless on his IEP) and she also helps non special ed kids so its also not as clear to the kids who is special ed and who isn't. So hoping this year will be MUCH better then last.
Also changes to curriculm, first we waived out of NCLB so that has changed how they handle some special ed and extra help stuff but they weren't too clear on exactly what that means. The bigger change is we adopted the core standards they want every state in US to and while its not a huge leap for the state (some argue our standards as a whole in state were higher) our district had a different math called think Math. in theroy yah it makes sense BUT parents learned the old fashion math so helping kids was a nightmare because I know how tp add my way they used these boxes and addition we go but subrataction so often what was happening was kids were not doing math homework because parents just couldn't help so if kid was lost forget it. District had to examine all their curriculm against these core standard and also while our math scores were up on state exams they weren't seeing HUGE changes so we are back to old fashion math!!! BUT now they are back tracking and going over so things they should have learned in younger grades that some have and some don't so as a result they do a LOT of math. They have 2 math sessions before lunch then lunch recess and another math. Sadly that means for now they have to combine science and social studies and switch off. Also it cut out some flexiability in schedule so now kids who choose to do band miss literacy and or writing workshop so since those are DS weak spots very happy he decided not to. (in years past they had review sessions while the band kids were gone and now they will be taking missed work home)

Chico: Chicago has outgrown residency rule
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall firstname.lastname@example.com January 25, 2011 11:30AM
Gery Chico offers his reaction Monday, January 24, 2011, to the Illinois Appellate Court's decision Monday to remove Rahm Emanuel from the ballot. | Jean Lachat~Sun-Times

Updated: January 27, 2011 8:45PM
Mayoral hopeful Gery Chico said Tuesday he's open to abolishing the residency requirement for city employees, arguing that Chicago's middle-class tax base can survive without it.
Chico dropped the political bombshell as he accepted the endorsement of a Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2 that has long advocated allowing firefighters and paramedics to live outside Chicago.
The Fraternal Order of Police, which has also chafed at the residency rule, has also endorsed Chico. Together, the two unions represent nearly 25,000 active members and retirees.
Earlier this month, Chico and rival candidate Rahm Emanuel responded to an FOP questionnaire by saying they were open to letting police officers live outside the city. Candidates Carol Moseley Braun and Miguel del Valle were determined to maintain the requirement.
On Tuesday, Chico went far beyond that. He declared that Chicago has outgrown the need for a residency requirement that former Mayor Richard J. Daley and his son rigidly enforced to prevent the city's middle class property tax base from fleeing to the suburbs.
"We're a different city than we were 30, 40, 50 years ago when this rule came on the books. ... We have people who live in the city and work in the suburbs. We have people who live in the suburbs and work in the city. We have to be cognizant of those trends," he said.
"Now, we're absolutely mature enough to put the issue on the table and at least discuss it. ... If I thought it was threatening to the middle class, I wouldn't have put it on the table."
Del Valle branded Chico's residency stand "shocking.'' The city clerk said he would not "pander to get an endorsement.
"The entire workforce of the city of Chicago — paid for by the taxpayers — will be allowed to move out of the city of Chicago, allowing the neighborhoods to fend for themselves,'' he said.
Braun warned that lifting the city's residency requirement would pose a "direct threat" to Chicago's middle class.
"Giving the green-light for such a proposal means a mass exodus of city employees and the rich diversity they contribute to the city," Braun said in a prepared statement.
"This proposal demonstrates a level of irresponsibility by Mr. Chico that we cannot afford in City Hall. ... Our neighborhoods are maintained through a strong and reliable tax base. Lifting the residency requirement endangers this important resource."
Instead of supporting what she called "dangerous and capricious proposals," Braun advised Chico to focus on ways to "strengthen Chicago's middle-class" — not "sacrifice its future for political gain."
Earlier this week, the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. took the opposite view. He warned that residency is a "core Chicago legal and political value" that must be obeyed — by city employees and candidates for public office.
"In Chicago, 50,000-plus teachers, policemen, firemen own homes here and they pay taxes here and that supports city services," Jackson said, after the Illinois Appellate Court ruling that temporarily bumped Emanuel from the ballot as a result of a challenge to his residency.
"If that law is broken or compromised … if that door is cracked, police and teachers and firemen and city servants will live outside the city and take with them their homes and their tax base."
Mayor Daley has steadfastly defended the residency ordinance, resisting periodic attempts by police officers and firefighters to either relax the rule or seek financial compensation for it.
After the state state Senate voted earlier this year to lift the residency requirement for teachers in the Chicago Public Schools, Daley lambasted the idea as the beginning of the end for Chicago's middle class.
"Go to Detroit, St. Louis, the rest of 'em. When they allow government employees to live outside the city, they lose all their middle class," the mayor told reporters then.
"If you say government employees don't have to live here, I guess maybe elected officials don't have to live here, too. You could start a trend. I don't have to live in the ward. I don't have to live in the city. I can work on a contract. I firmly believe that is the essence of keeping neighborhoods strong."
In the 1960s, Daley's father, former Mayor Richard J. Daley, cracked down on residency violators, buoyed by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Philadelphia's residency law.
cracked down on residency violators, buoyed by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Philadelphia's residency law. At the time, City Hall was rife with rumors that the Chicago Fire Department was winking at residency violators, under the direction of longtime Commissioner Robert Quinn, who may have been one himself. Quinn reportedly claimed to live with his mother in the city while maintaining another residence in Wisconsin.
Two years ago, the city's $114,348-a-year manager for auditing resigned after then-Inspector General David Hoffman concluded that he has been living in Chicago Heights in violation of the city's residency rule.
Jeffrey Mina was supposed to be an internal watchdog who monitored city spending to make certain taxpayers got their money's worth.
Chico's stand on the residency rule wasn't the only thing that endeared him to firefighters. He's also promising to maintain minimum staffing levels on fire apparatus — an issue that triggered a 1980 firefighters' strike.
And Chico is promising to work with Local 2 to find a "rational, affordable solution" to a crisis that has left the firefighters with the least-funded of the city's pension funds and the first that would run out of money.
"We feel confident that Gery will maintain current staffing levels, that Gery will maintain a direct dialogue with union representatives, that Gery will seek to resolve contracts in a timely manner and that he will review the Chicago Fire Department's promotional testing process to make it more transparent and more fair," said Local 2 president Tom Ryan.
Chicago firefighters have had a tumultuous relationship with Mayor Richard M. Daley and waited 3 1/2 years for their latest contract before getting $98 million in back pay bankrolled by a short-term borrowing.
"They're giving us an interest-free loan," Chico said. "These are the people who run into burning buildings. We can do better," Chico said, promising "fair and fast collective bargaining agreements" and prompt posting of test results from promotional exams.

I'm not sure where this number came from but it's inaccurate at best. Subsidies are a bit tricky to figure out, but unless corn prices fall through the floor and price guarantees kick in, it's subsidized by 28 cents per bushel which would be 4% or so. There's other subsidy for insurance, etc. but it will never add up to 80%.

Going bald at an early age can be very demoralising. While hair fall is typically related to aging, it can also occur during late teens or early twenties, affecting the body image and personality of an individual. Such hair loss is medically known as male pattern baldness - mainly a genetic problem linked to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
What is pattern baldness?
Pattern baldness in men is a typical way of losing hair. First the hairline starts to fall back and while it does so, it also becomes thinner and shorter. Then the density of hair on top of the scalp starts to decrease. The final outcome is a shiny scalp with very few hairs remaining on both sides. Take note of the fact that pattern baldness is very different from atypical hair loss. In atypical hair loss, an individual loses hair randomly, mostly as a result of drug side effects or other health conditions. But in pattern hair fall, the causes are hormonal.
What causes hair to come off?
An adult man has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs on his head and nearly 85% of the total number of hairs are growing at any given moment. The approximate rate of hair growth is an inch in every 2 months. The growth cycle of a hair strand lasts for 2-6 years, following which a brief period of static phase ensues before the hair falls off once and for all. The root from which a hair strand grows is known as the follicle. When an old hair comes off from the follicle, a new strand of hair replaces it and starts to grow from the same follicle. So for hair to grow, it is imperative that the hair follicles remain alive. When that does not happen, you experience baldness, i.e., fall of hair without regrowth.
What happens to the hair follicles with male hair loss?
When a man experiences pattern hair fall, the hair follicles become genetically sensitive to a hormone known as dihydrotestosterone or DHT. Consequently, it stops responding to the hormone, which reduces longevity of hair and causes hair loss.
How can the follicles be kept alive?
To keep the follicles alive and capable of producing new hair, it is important to desensitise the follicles to DHT. Propecia finasteride is an FDA-approved prescription pill which does so quite effectively. Its active ingredient finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase blocker which blocks the DHT hormone and prevents the hair follicles from coming in touch with the hormone. This way, the hair follicles stay alive and fertile.
Important safety information about Propecia
Finasteride is not recommended for the treatment of hair loss in women. Pregnant or expecting women should handle the pill carefully to avoid direct contact with the active ingredient.
The drug can affect prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which is done for diagnosing prostate cancer. Talk to your doctor if you need to have the test done while you are taking the pill.
About 2% men reported experiencing erection problems or lack of libido. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any sexual problem after taking Propecia.
Male pattern baldness is caused by hormonal factors. A hormone called DHT affects the hair follicles and prevents new hairs from germinating. If you find yourself at the receiving end of the condition, you can take Propecia pill.

Lovie Smith

One of the more unfortunate moments in sports journalism occurred in June 1995, at a news conference featuring the surgeons who had performed a liver transplant on failing baseball great Mickey Mantle.
His original liver had been pulverized by years of hard living, leaving Mantle in desperate need of a new one, but his health, his habits and his history raised nettlesome questions about his suitability as a transplant recipient. A meteoric rise to the top of the waiting list had been ascribed to favoritism born of his iconic national stature as baseball great Mickey Mantle.
Thus the press briefing was predictably testy. One attendee might have been seeking to defuse the tension when he inquired about the health of the donor, apparently unaware that the availability of a liver meant its previous owner had passed from this world, no longer in need of this most vital organ.
A one-word answer — deceased — would have sufficed, but the surgeon manning the podium opted to embarrass the interrogator, perhaps as payback for those prickly questions about favoritism and medical ethics he'd been facing.
"You're a sportswriter, aren't you," he asked with ill-concealed disdain.
As the chastened reporter shrank in his seat, many of those in the room empathized with his discomfort. We sports types run the risk of exposing our shallow grasp of real-life issues any time the subject matter ranges beyond the playing field.
This unfortunate exchange came to mind last week as reporters were peppering Bears boss Lovie Smith for a diagnosis/prognosis on concussed quarterback Jay Cutler. While none of the questioners feigned the medical savvy of, say, an afternoon sports-radio host, they were requesting surgeon-general-level expertise from Smith, a football coach, whose overriding concern is winning his next game.
That's not cold or unfeeling on Smith's part; that's just the way it is in the next-man-up world of professional football. Smith's Bears were going to play the 49ers in San Francisco on Monday night regardless of whether Cutler or Jason Campbell plays quarterback.
Turns out it's Campbell.
Feel better, Jay; hope to see you soon. Meanwhile, let's get this other guy ready to play if we hope to remain employed around here.
With Monday's final whistle, the Bears will be 8-2 and a step closer to a job-solidifying playoff berth, or 7-3 and wobbly, with two consecutive losses and the Green Bay Packers looming ominously in the rear-view mirror.
That's a pretty full plate for Smith. Sure, he'd prefer to have Cutler on the field to face the 49ers, especially after watching Caleb Hanie's near-comic ineptitude sabotage a promising season just last year. But it's out of his hands.
The quarterback carnage that claimed Cutler and three fellow starters last weekend drove home the point that pro football is a truly dangerous game. The NFL might have been late to that realization, or in denial for an unconscionably long while, but its efforts to play catch-up leave coaches in an almost untenable position: Keep on winning games, though we'll be implementing rules that might preclude your knowing which players are available from week to week.
Has to be done.
Bears vs. 49ers was highly anticipated for weeks, breathlessly billed as a showdown between two of the NFC's top teams. With the memory of Hanie taunting him, Smith has to play without his star quarterback, which is sort of like entering the family Taurus in the Daytona 500. And an asterisk noting Cutler's absence will not accompany the verdict as it is entered on Smith's record.
A loss makes his efforts to gain acceptance here increasingly futile. Taciturn, aloof and deliberately bland for the most part, Smith is not Mike Ditka, and that "failing" seems to matter more to star-struck legions of Bears fans than a credible track record or his players' obvious respect, loyalty and love.
Smith has one year left on his contract, and his fate is in the hands of a general manager who didn't hire him, a newly promoted scout who needs to do what he does and begin retooling an aging roster while shoring up a leaky offensive line. Those should be Phil Emery's top priorities.
Besides, what are the sideline alternatives? How are Charlie Weis and Josh McDaniels and those other Bill Belichick disciples working out? Would you prefer a hot-shot college coach, a Nick Saban, say, or Steve Spurrier or Bobby Petrino.
Oh, right.
There's simply no compelling reason to make a change at this point, so extend Smith's contract and keep him where he is.
Just don't ask him to play doctor.
Or Ditka.

"We really love the quality of this piece. Original idea was to do the photograph postcard...the quality was not the was we wanted to represent ourselves. Modern, yet traditional and simply elegant was our intent. Not noisy and full of graphics or our pictures. This says class. LOVE the statement it makes."
"These magnets are perfect! The designers worked with me to fit both our full names on the magnet instead of just first names. They came out beautifully and go well with our birch tree theme."
"My partner and I chose this design because the wild roses are part of our theme. The photo we used is a soft wide-angle shot we took of us in the Marin Headlands and we debated whether or not to use the sepia option because it matched the lettering so nicely. But in the end we chose the original photo to add a little extra color to the design. As we were designing, it looked like one of our names would overlap the date but when I received the free email proof, the designer had shifted the date down a little so there wasn't any overlap. The final product is classy, almost vintage looking, and we're so happy with it! We can't wait to send them out. Thank you!"
"I loved our finished save the date. We chose the pink orchids to follow our colors and classic theme. The sample I ordered used the regular Signature Textured White which I felt looked like recycled paper and not as high quality. For our finished product, I chose the pearl white shimmer paper, flat card with no picture and rounded corners and plain white envelopes which I'll spruce up with an embosser I also ordered. Love the official save the date and excellent quality with the upgraded paper type!! I can't wait to send them out!"
"I used the blue/green flower color choice, and I loved it! I had to slightly alter the names (I wanted first and last) and they sent me a proof following my instructions and it came out perfect! They also arrived much sooner than I was expecting. Everyone who sees them thinks they are so pretty! Love them! I'll be ordering the coordinating invitation set and thank you cards soon."

Alan Wake is a man as mysterious as his first game, an enigmatic title that ended its long development with a release that was impressively ambitious. Of course, not all those ambitions were fulfilled, but the creepy adventure was successful at telling a story that left a dedicated audience clamoring for more. The writer's second adventure (not necessarily a sequel) may be a smaller XBLA-exclusive downloadable, but Alan Wake's American Nightmare builds wonderfully on everything the first game did so well. We just wish it didn't have to repeat itself so often.
American Nightmare's plot starts oddly enough, mostly due to the original title (and its downloadable epilogue) giving few answers and little closure. Taking place some time after the last game, Wake finds himself spit back into reality (or is it?) to chase after his evil double, Mr. Scratch (or is he?). This drops him in the arid desert of Arizona (or is it?) where he needs to use his reality warping powers of creativity to save himself and a trio of women he meets along the way (or does he?).
A mysterious air hangs over the entire plot, as you aren't sure just how real everything is, or if Wake is merely trapped in a clever Twilight Zone homage called Night Springs. That conceit makes for a much different tone than the original, as the Stephen King-inspired grey emptiness of a quiet mountain town is replaced with a dangerous, rocky desert filled with enemies. Dense forests being replaced for big open spaces is one of the many ways AWAN differentiates itself from its predecessor.
The tone is also thankfully lightened compared to the (at times) too serious first game, as Wake's hushed tones about the power of writing and other philosophizing have been mostly replaced for the better. The game is now narrated by the Rod Serling-type that introduced the Night Springs series, framing the adventure in an entertaining way. Even Wake's voiceover for his manuscript pages are more pulpy and fun. As a result, there are fewer frights and disturbing moments, but this tonal shift mostly pays off for Wake.
Similarly, Wake's interactions with other characters is improved too, as the once confused hero now knows his purpose and has many of the answers he once was fumbling for. The morose leading man, once unsure of so many things, knows what he's fighting for and won't give up so easily. It makes him more likeable, and thankfully this new clarity for Wake also means the game doesn't have to waste as much time reintroducing concepts like the combat.
Story and the power of narrative are still paramount to Wake, but AWAN indulges itself by truly embracing its exciting gunplay. Gone is the awkward platforming and other strange diversions, as the main focus of the gameplay is blasting away a steady stream of the darkness-covered Taken that are lurking behind every rock and abandoned car. Much like the rest of the game, the gunplay is greatly improved by a renewed focus on fun.
Though some will miss the inventive use of words becoming reality from the previous title's finale, the shooting is more engaging this time around, partly thanks to a deeper armory. Hunting rifles and automatics are replaced by combat shotguns and machine guns that fit with the pulp fiction vibe. You unlock new weapons based on how many pages you collect, giving more value to the plot-enhancing collectible. The battles are further enhanced by a number of new enemy types, including giants that split into smaller men when hit with the flashlight and a creepy fellow that transforms into a flock of birds when you least expect it. This variety keeps the combat interesting for the many times you'll have to fight your way out of somewhere.
The already exciting shooting has been so improved upon that it's easily good enough to support its own mode. Called Arcade Action, the wave-based single player side game drops the player into a map, seeing if they can survive the time limit, and how many kills can be racked up in that time. Its complete removal of any plot might rankle some Alan Wake fans, but this variation on Horde was a great extra that proves the franchise's gameplay is strong enough to stand on its own if it has to.
Those same fans bothered by the lack of plot in Arcade Action will be similarly disappointed if they expect the equivalent of a dense novel in this downloadable. Much like its Twilight Zone inspiration, this tells a smaller story, a brief interlude in Wake's bigger narrative. Yet, even understanding that concept, the story lets us down occasionally, mostly due to repetition and a reliance on fetch quests.
Wake is constantly running back and forth to complete very similar goals. Finishing these tasks occasionally borders on monotony while simultaneously revealing that each area is much smaller than it first appeared, at times diminishing our enjoyment of the setting. Each location gets reused extensively to lengthen the game, but it ends up periodically stretching the content a little too thin.
Alan Wake's American Nightmare ends up being more inviting than ever to new players, with a clearer plot and goals. The game knows what it does well and highlights it instead of trying too many hit or miss concepts. Despite the sometimes limited scope of its world and objectives, it's a great downloadable that hopefully will introduce a whole new audience to one writer's unique world.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Earthquakes shook a broad swath of southern Mexico on Tuesday, causing buildings to sway in the capital and sending thousands fleeing into the streets as an earthquake alarm sounded. But there were no immediate reports of damages or injuries.
The U.S. Geological Survey said a magnitude-5.5 quake hit at 7:04 a.m. (9:04 a.m. EDT; 1304 GMT), centered about 10 miles (17 kilometers) west-southwest of Pinotepa Nacional on the Pacific Coast and 227 miles (365 kilometers) south-southeast of Mexico City.
Mexico Seismology Service initially calculated the quake's magnitude at 5.9.
A second quake shook the region a few minutes later.
Mexico City's soft soil makes it especially sensitive to distant earthquakes. But Mayor Manuel Mancera said in a Twitter post that no damage was reported. Local news media also said there were no reports of damage close to Pinotepa Nacional.

Comic BooksSpider-man has largely resisted modernizationphone screens are simply too small to enjoy the intricate panels without constant panning and zooming, and an e-reader's lack of color is a deal-breaker. That's why a tablet computer seems like the perfect vehicle for digital comics, and we wouldn't be surprised if a dedicated comics channel finds its way into the iTunes store.
The tablet could also turn into a killer app for Web comics, such as the popular xkcd, which could be delivered through dedicated apps.

Photo exhibit spotlights furniture industry in High Point
A new exhibit at the High Point Museum takes an inside look at the local furniture industry through the eyes — and camera lenses — of nine college students.
"Their assignment was to explore visually the role of furniture in the High Point region," explained Benita VanWinkle, whose "Documenting the Community Through Photography" students at High Point University shot the 45 photos featured in the new exhibit.
The exhibit, titled "Out of the Woodwork," will be on display at the museum through Feb. 28. A community reception for the students will be held Tuesday morning.
VanWinkle said the idea was to get the students to have a better understanding of the furniture industry's importance to High Point and the people who live here.
"I wanted the students to focus on this community — in particular the furniture industry and what it means not only to High Point but to the world," she said. "The kids began to see High Point not just as a place where their school is, but as the furniture capital of the world."
The students were especially encouraged to talk to the people they were photographing and learn their stories, rather than just photograph them and jot down their names.
"Overall, I was very pleased," VanWinkle said of the students' photos. "I had a couple of photographs turned in that almost made me cry. I just remember thinking, 'Wow, they're really getting it.' In this assignment, they were learning how to edit. They were learning how to shoot under difficult lighting circumstances. They were learning how to be patient. They were learning how to approach people and talk to them about photographing them. It was not an easy assignment, but I think they handled it well."
Because the photos were going to be used in the "Out of the Woodwork" exhibit, the students also learned how to mount their work, how to frame it and how to hang it, as well as how to write a caption.
"The High Point Museum is wonderful to let us show our work," said Kaitlyn Kiser, a senior from Advance. "I'm grateful for this experience. I enjoyed getting to know the people who work in the furniture industry and learning about the impact on the community."
The other students whose photos appear in the exhibit are Molly O'Keefe, Jenna Myer, Peter Dezzi, Brittany Hubschman, Cynthia Chiofolo, Brandon Hubschman, Julia Rivera and Angelo Carpentier.

Want to go?
"Out of the Woodwork," an exhibit featuring 45 photographs from nine High Point University students focusing on the furniture industry, is on display through Feb. 28 at the High Point Museum, 1859 E. Lexington Ave.
A community reception will be held Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. The students will present a short overview of the exhibit and will be available to discuss their individual pieces.
For more information, call the High Point Museum at 885-1859.

TUCSON - The City of Tucson has been awarded two federal grants totaling $1,180,899 to provide additional support to victims of domestic violence and veterans.
The first grant, which will provide $430,899 over three years, is for "establishment of a dedicated Domestic Violence Court and education on domestic violence issues," city officials stated in a news release. The grant comes from Department of Justice, Office of Violence against Women, and will fund the development of a Domestic Violence court, and to provide domestic violence training for court staff. The grant will also fund American Sign Language Interpreters for the court.
A second grant of $250,000 a year for three years was granted to expand the Tucson City Court's Veteran's Court into a Regional Municipality Court, provided by the Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, the release stated. The municipalities that will participate in the new regional court are Marana, Oro valley, South Tucson and Sahuarita.
"The RMVC directs veterans charged with certain offenses to rehabilitation services and helps at-risk veterans avoid further legal difficulties," officials stated in the release. "The program involves veteran participation in a tailored treatment program aimed at getting them back on their feet."

Editors' Top PicksSee All
NEC MultiSync LCD2180WGLED
The $6,749 NEC MultiSync LCD2180WGLED is the first monitor we've tested that has a panel backlit entirely by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This technology supposedly reproduces colors more accurately than traditional LCDs or CRTs. While it definitely produced bright, vivid colors, the $1,700 Eizo FlexScan L997 and $1,600 LaCie 321 both performed better in CNET's color tests and are better overall (and much less expensive) monitors.
The all-black NEC MultiSync LCD2180WGLED has a chunky, sharp-edged look. Despite its slim bezel, the 5-inch-thick panel houses a heavy heat sink, which gives the 40-pound LCD2180WGLED more of a CRT feel. It also makes wall- or arm-mounting dicey, though you can connect the removable panel to VESA mounts.
For all its weight, the LCD2180WGLED stands sturdily on a square base. You cannot adjust the height, though you can tilt it backward 25 degrees and forward 5 degrees. It also pivots between landscape and portrait mode, but NEC does not supply pivoting software, so you'll need to dig that up separately and use a graphics card that supports it. The LCD2180WGLED has two digital signal ports and is one of the first monitors we've seen to eschew an analog port. A removable plastic clip attaches to the neck and keeps the cables together.

Design Board: Hot Pink and Kelly Green Shared Space
A common question I get as a designer is about creating a shared space for a new baby joining an older sibling. The space you create does not have to scream baby and can be a design that will grow with both kids. I am loving this preppy combo of kelly green, hot pink and an unexpected accent of a grayish lavender. Bold patterns, natural wood tones mixed with fresh whites and botanical prints make this such a sweet combo.
1. Watermelon Striped Bedding 2. Singing in the Rainforest Crib Bedding 3. After the Rain Rug 4. Butterfly Canvas 5. Campaign Bookshelf 6. Fuschia Nina Chair 7. Glow Lightly Lamp
It's the perfect palette for spring! Do you have a shared space that you have designed?
So this is called kelly green! I didn't know it's what this particular shade of green is called. Thanks!
http://www.facebook.com/kimmy.doraine Kimmy Doraine
I love that campaign bookshelf!
http://www.facebook.com/shai.virtuso Shai Virtuso
I like the combination of pink and green, but different shades of pink and green. The sort that gives the watermelon effect. That shade of green that looks more fresh, more into the light green side, and that shade of pink that's more into the fuschia side.
