Watch part twoOne year ago, 10 gunmen launched a devastating attack on Mumbai, India's financial capital. During the three-day rampage, almost 200 people were killed and many more were injured.
In the aftermath of the attacks, India's security forces came under fire for their slow response.
On this edition of 101 East, we ask if the Mumbai attacks could have been prevented and if India is better prepared to deal with terrorism. This episode of 101 East airs from Thursday, November 26, 2009 at the following times GMT: Thursday: 1230; Friday: 0300; Saturday: 0530, 1730; Sunday: 0330, 1130; Monday: 1630; Tuesday: 1430; Wednesday: 0830, 1930; Thursday: 0630.

Connecticut State Senator Louis C. DeLuca was arrested and charged last week for going too far in trying to protect a family member from abuse, according to state and federal authorities.
Senator DeLuca said: "I tried to protect a family member who was vulnerable, who was in a physically abusive domestic relationship, and who needed help. My family and I went to the police three times to get help for my relative, but the police said that they couldn't help because the victim wouldn't file a complaint."
He contacted a mobster who offered to have someone "pay a visit" to the alleged perpetrator, most likely to scare him off and stop the abuse. We do not know if this "visit" ever took place and whether the abuse continued. Senator DeLuca was charged with conspiracy to threaten.
Where is the line between a warning and a threat? It could depend on the nature of the action considered. If the considered action is illegal, then it is a threat, if it is not, then it could be just a warning.
We sometimes take foolish measures when we think that we have no alternatives. "I had no choice" is rarely true, and most often an excuse. Ethics is about making choices between alternatives. We always have options particularly in our society where the rule of law prevails.
What could have been the alternatives in this situation?
The general rule in the US is that there is no legal obligation to report a crime. Certain professions such as teachers, physicians, lawyers, and clergy are required to report such crimes as child abuse. However, as responsible citizens, I believe we have a moral obligation to do so.
One alternative would be of course to confront the alleged perpetrator. Even if it is met with a denial, the confrontation might just be what is necessary to stop the abuse. The perpetrator will know that his actions have not gone un-noticed and that negative consequences might fallow if he or she continues.
The most challenging alternative is to try to persuade the victim to come forward. Maybe a convincing argument is that the victim is not doing it for himself or herself alone but for other potential future victims.
As Eleanor Roosevelt once said:
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.

Very good point on the issue of "having no choice." We may not like the
choices we have, but rarely are we in a position in which there really is
no choice.
However, I would like to point out that the issue of domestic abuse is far
more dangerous than you might think and the action of confronting the
abuser, or talking the victim into coming forward, can result in some very
serious consequences unless proper precautions are taken.
A safer and more sure path is to get the victim in touch with trained
professionals in a domestic abuse program. They can help the victim examine
all the options while protecting the victim and any other househole

I love reading yet I have grandchildren who don't enjoy it. And I know there are children and adults everywhere like that. So this blog might be of help. Also those wishing to improve their English and looking for books that will reward their effort.
Marita Thomson's curator insight, August 21, 2013 5:44 PM
Some outside the square ideas for what works with boys, but none of these ideas need be exclusive to them. I like the emphasis on relationship building for long term success. Settng up activities which don't start with books but can easily include them is an excellent soft sell option. Recognising that many kids want to do things rather than talk about them opens up interesting options.
Janet Law's curator insight, August 12, 2013 3:22 AM
This is a good read to start reflecting on how technology can cater to learning needs of diverse learners. Like it or not, technology is here to stay. As educators and parents, we have to be open minded about what really engages our children and facilitate their learning with access to these media whilst being aware of the pitfalls too and guide them as this new generation navigates their journey of learning.

Connor McDade's curator insight, December 4, 2013 9:39 PM
This article features an initiative called "Real Men Read." Simply by creating posters showing real men of different backgrounds and appearances reading, the campaign attacks misconceptions regarding literacy and masculinity. The system started by first capturing male faculty and teachers reading, yet it has expanded to include a wide range of men worthy of being role models. By debunking the myth that literacy is not masculine, the campaign celebrates male readership, one teacher at a time, with specifically disciplinary examples of literacy. One middle school even bought hundreds of graphic novels to try and hook more boys on reading. Boys, who often struggle with attention span, can grow to hate reading, yet literacy is a key component to education, particularly those that seek further education after grade school.

February is the second coldest month in Wuhan. The weather is still chilly, and the lowest temperature is 1 °C (34 °F) while the highest temperature is 11 °C (52 °F). A down jacket and thermal underwear are enough. It gets a little more humid than in January. Ultraviolet radiation is weak and the air is clean, so spend some time outdoors.
February does not fall during the peak travel season. During this month, plum blossoms make for attractive scenery, and the Plum Blossom Festival is held in East Lake Park. You can enjoy about 200 kinds of plum flowers. The plum flower painting and calligraphy exhibition, and plum flower photography are highlights of the festival. Take a look at our Wuhan Tours for some great traveling tips when visiting Wuhan this month.

Bob Baker, co-writer of three Oscar and BAFTA winning Wallace & Gromit films, creator of K9, and writer of numerous Doctor Who episodes, releases his autobiography this June and will be visiting the Galaxy 4 shop from 11am to 1pm to sign copies and meet fans. Entry is by book purchase only but this will entitle customers to one free signature on a personal item.
A stalwart of HTV, Bob has worked with Sir Laurence Olivier, Leonard Rossiter, Ron Moody, Toyah Wilcox and Trevor Eve. Among his many TV credits, Bob wrote a number of episodes of Doctor Who with co-writer Dave Martin, several seasons of Bergerac starring John Nettles (now of Midsomer Murders fame) and the smash hit children's show, Into the Labyrinth; Bob also script edited the popular crime series Shoestring.
Bob is perhaps best known for his work with Nick Park on Aardman Animations' Oscar and BAFTA-winning shorts, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death, and the feature film The Curse of the Wererabbit.
Among his recent work, Bob has just finished the first 26-part series of the regenerated K9 Adventures, currently showing on the Disney Channel and Channel 5 and is gearing up for a second series in the coming year.
Bob's life has been rich and varied; his adventures outside of his illustrious career range from a wine-tasting tour of France and mad sea voyages with the legendary Keith Floyd to playing jazz with John Fortune of Bremner, Bird and Fortune. K9 Stole My Trousers is a tribute to some of the finest talents in TV in the last fifty years, both people Bob worked with and people he considered himself lucky to know in his personal life.
1.30pm-3.30pm inc. signings / Lincoln Drill Hall
Lincoln Inspired joins forces with The Doctor to mark his golden jubilee. Writer Terrance Dicks was script editor from 1968 to 1974. He wrote many key episodes plus the 20th anniversary episode The Five Doctors in 1983. He also wrote many of the novelisations of Doctor Who stories in the 70s and 80s. He was as big a name to fans then as current supremo Stephen Moffat is today. Director Graeme Harper's relationship with the Doctor goes back to 1966 and Patrick Troughton's first story The Power of the Daleks. His first as director was the last story to feature Peter Davison, broadcast in 1984, which fans regard as one of the best ever. He went on to work with Colin Baker and, 20 years later, returned in 2005 when David Tennant was The Doctor. So far he's the only director who's worked on the 'old' and the 'new' shows. Actor Richard Franklin played Captain Mike Yates, sidekick of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart at UNIT, from 1971 to 1974, fighting mutated maggots and The Master. The panel will be talking to Siren FM's Alex Lewczuk – and look out for a Dalek (courtesy of Waterstones) too! Merchandise from Doctor Who specialist cult TV and comic shop Galaxy Four will be on sale.

Article is interesting if taken just as a science fiction. Nothing more than it! No matter how much progressed we are we can't interrupt the natural process of life. We were born, we will die: neither we have the string of our lives in our hands nor we will have. As far as crave for immortality is concerned, it does fascinate us but I can bet my life on it that we by ourselves will beg for death if immortality is given to us.

A final point:
What if sentience, even if liberated from the flawed and perishable human brain, deteriorates naturally on its own? The unique blend of illogic, cognitive dissonances and irrational preferences, given that much time, may slowly resolve itself into clear knowledge; and then a purely dispassionate consciousness; and finally, perhaps, mere stored data — like letters scratched on a rock. In short, a natural death despite sentience being preserved in optimum conditions.

The sentience issue is huge. Without sentience actually measurable and transferable, you're only buying the ability to impose your personality and preferences on people who are biologically alive. What the rich and powerful traditionally achieve with highly conditional wills and executor/enforcers, or perhaps a loyal cult following.
This non-sentience option will still be seized by the most vindictive and unpleasant of the super-rich. Like the old Twilight Zone episode, where a bitter woman tends to her rich old SOB relative and counts the days till he dies. She ends up as caretaker for his equally curmudgeonly robot reincarnation, no release in sight. I can see a robotic Donald Trump being his final desperate monument, still snarling, self-promoting and generally being a jerk.
There's a certain grim comedy in the idea that the world may be left to a handful of non-sentient robots, endlessly simulating the tics and flaws of their human originals to an uncomprehending audience of !$%*!$%*!$%*!$%*!$ effective immortality was possible, I think the people who could afford it would also be sharp enough to see where human civilization is going, long term (most of them became that rich by putting us on that course). They could choose to live in small luxury enclaves shielded from the real world (hey, there's a movie . . . ), or they could place their consciousnesses in a purely virtual world of endless resources, stored on a highly secure solar-powered server (hey, there's a movie . . . ).

I like your article, but I disagree with the execution. even in my organic shell, with milestone life events like graduating, getting a job, etc I find myself changing constantly. To say that being immortal or having a robot brain would not change me significantly would not be realistic - I would probably change to the point where I'm not recognizable anymore - heck, its that way for me now vs. 5 years ago. One of the few scenarios I can conceive where (I had a robot/cyborg brain/body) AND (my old personality would still be around) is a very artificial situation where I see in older people trying too hard to be teenagers again. I have a relative like that - a 50-ish woman who tries to act teenager - each LOL, each "partying all night" experience is just artifical and a little sad. I think that would be what I would look like if I still acted like my old self in a robot body - why be awkward when you can flawlessly communicate, etc..? each hiccup would be just pretend...

[I think its incredibly naive for any person to believe their identety has no physical dimension.]
You used the word "identity" 12 times, it's spelled "identity".
My body is ultimately just a container for my consciousness.
At some point, technology could theoretically relocate that consciousness to another physical container.
If my consciousness is transferred, I'm transferred.
Your container can be altered and you're still you.
Cut off both my arms, and Dilbro Junior, and I'd still be me.

Your article implies that you believe in a soul. Because there can only be one "you," and downloading "you" to a computerized brain of some sort means that everything that is "you" has moved to the new location, and therefore nothing of "you" can be left inside your body. "You" = "soul," and there can be only one.
I believe in a soul too. But I also believe in technology. And the way I see it is that no one would be willing to undergo the process at all if it caused their current brain to stop functioning for any reason. They'd want a full copy of their brain made, and then they'd want to talk to it, to confirm it's actually them. Inevitably they won't believe it, since again, there can be only one "you." And they'll want full refunds.
I of course want multiple copies of me made, because I frequently talk to myself, and this way it won't seem weird. I don't mind that they will only be copies, and probably outlast me, as long as they agree to do my bidding while I am still alive.

Mind and body are inseparable. You can't build a reasonable artificial mind (downloaded from a person or not) without building a body to go along with it.
It's more reasonable, for the near-term, to believe that it'll be possible to extend the human lifespan using drugs, diet, and artificial parts.

To me this combines atheism with a (faux) concept of identety.
But there is no attached metaphysical beliefs or purpose to atheism. All definitions are therefore arbitrary. 'You' 'self' 'identety' are meaningless without a metaphysical backdrop.
When Cpt. Kirk goes into the teleporter is he destroyed?
What does it mean to be the same person when 'reconstructed'?
This is the same question (IMO) as when Scott tries to calculate odds he will become a successful cartoonist. he wants to define his present self as his identety and consider all alternate universe versions as not him or meeting a less fortunate fate. Both very funny wacky takes.
You need a working meaningful nonarbitrary definition of self to start this conversation from an atheist perspective. I think as soon as you take out belief in god you immediately reduce humanity to scatological ants. Immortal cyborgs, on the other hand, could be interesting. Hard edge naked capitalists allowed to simmer over time, with wealth acquisition only exacerbating.
What does it mean to be Scott? As best i can tell for this thought experiment, your entire identety is your mind. So then you wouldnt mind me telling the world you only have a 3 inch phallus. It wouldnt reflect poorly on you cuz you just a mind. I think its incredibly naive for any person to believe their identety has no physical dimension. You might think its true, or claim its true, but ive never seen anyone close to it. Not even abnormal ppl.
the concept of identety and consciousness do not lend themselves to atheism. IMO they really exist outside the worldview of atheism.
consider for a second a monster constructed of living organisms. scotts brain is harvested and sewn onto a collective named Billgates. Where is identety there? You need metaphysical concepts to define it in a nonarbitrary way. is scott still in existence, or has a new identety been created, thereby destroying scott?
when scotts thought patterns travel to the center of Billgates consciousness, when does the idea stop being scotts? was it ever scotts? or is he a new identety when sewn on?
saying scotts identety is connected to a monster is just as valid as saying scott was destroyed and a new entety was created. where one begins and the other ends is merely a matter of perspective within atheism.
a simpler version is to consider the collective consciousness of society. ppl are individual selfaware, but also collectively. society is a consciousness and is selfaware. where does identety of the individual being begin and where does identety of the society begin?

Though I'm with the skeptics on this one, I'll go along with your premise for this comment.
How does copying your brain into a machine change your mortality? It's creating a copy of you, but that's not a big leap from cloning (physical copy) or having children - a real legacy that seems much more interesting than leaving computer code. Your body and consciousness won't be changed by uploading your brain. You'll still feel (and be) mortal. You might even be jealous of the immortal copy, if it's an android.
Using this technology, a billionaire could create an army of copies of himself. What's the point? Will they make HIS life better? Isn't the copy of you just a very equal competitor?

Granted, the facts and figures of a living mind can be digitized, and even the personality to some extent. But the subtle fabric of sentience, the tingle of nerves, the exhilaration of a first kiss... can those be digitized? Accurately? Not just a preprogrammed sub-routine? Would I sense the the switch to the new robody? Or would the robody boot-up as watched from my death bed?
That, and the whole living in self imposed exile thing, I'll take a pass.

I don't see why time should be infinite after my mind is transferred to a virtual world. Time may be longer (because time runs faster in the simulation), but this virtual world still needs a running computer in a physical worlds with all the necassary resources. And when those resources or that physical world cease to exist, so does the simulation.
As I get older, I tend to think immortality is overrated anyway. Most really old people I know don't really want to live on, and that's not just because the organic body deteriorates. It is just not that interesting to live forever and keep doing the same things over and over again. Remember the one immortal person in "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy". He was so bored of seeing his favorit movie for the zillionth time, that he started to visit every living person in the galaxy with his spaceship and insult them, in alfabetic order.

Art Deco Three Diamond Sapphire Ring
At a glance, its true vintage circa 1925 character shines through. Situated horizontally across the matrix, the three (3) old mine cut diamonds of an estimated total of .77 carats all appear white and display superb personality and prismatic fire. (Color I-J-K and SI1-2 clarity). Wing-like forms of white gold accent both the top and bottom of the setting. The ten (10) synthetic sapphires used in this 14k white gold ring are fancy cut elongated gems and show off rich deep cobalt blue hues. Channel set, they form a striking border highlighting a series of diamonds.
The Art Deco Era was known for its use of bold and bright color contrasts and geometric forms. A little known fact is that this period almost exclusively used synthetic sapphires for its accent stones. Even examining bracelets in the price range of $15,000 or may reveal their use. Synthetic is a misleading but standard term as they are exactly the same as sapphires, just grown in a lab. They were "the" modern marvels of the early 20th century.
Date: Circa 1925.
Measurements: 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.8 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 1.8 grams (1.1 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-3/4 (UK N; Euro or Int. Circum. 53.8 mm; Int. Dia. 17.1 mm; Japan over 13) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent; one minute chip to one sapphire only visible with powerful magnification.
Note: Diamond weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual if removed. Grading may also vary. All metals are acid tested.

The Simpson Barn story began Jan. 18, 2012. Follow the story this month by subscribing to this blog.
Besides all this physical activity, the Society was working on fund raising among the members, grant writing, and presentations to willing audiences. We were also working on finding the right mover, getting an architect and contractors. Working with the architect led to the need for a structural engineer and also a soil testing consultant. After the steel beams were in place, we told the professionals that we could no longer afford their services. We were fortunate to have members with professional backgrounds.
By the end of June, 2002, both structures, the house and the barn, went down the road to their final resting place. Both buildings needed foundations. Concrete walls were poured for the house basement and for the ground level of the barn. Because of the City Agreement, the barn had to be completed first. Society members were able to work on both simultaneously. The structural engineer had specified the steel beams and support columns. During the tear down of the horse stalls, we salvaged as much lumber as possible to reuse in the barn. After water was hooked up to the site we were able to power wash the decades of filth off the inside of the loft. The reveal of beautiful lumber was amazing. Our most dedicated member worker (Garland Seibert) worked systematically on the lumber as he stood on a scaffold. Our chief resource member (Bob Thomas) and I swept the downpour of water as it came off the ceiling, down the hay drop openings in the loft floor to prevent water logging of the flooring.
Recycled double steel doors were found and installed at the east and west end of the loft. On the ground floor, we had planned two bathrooms, a utility room with furnace and air conditioning equipment, a storage room, a kitchen and two staircases to the loft. We eliminated one staircase when we realized that the bermed patio to the east of the loft and the large raised deck to the west accommodated the exit requirements.

"It's most likely a virus, because in this time of year, that's the most likely reason for children to begin to wheeze."
– Dr. Cedric Miller, Emergency Pediatrics, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
Five-year-old Isabella has had breathing problems since she was a toddler … but never this bad.
So she goes to the ER, where her mom explains her symptoms to the doctor. "Just real exhausted and she was still [doing] that heavy breathing where, even at her neck it was sucking as she was breathing, and very rapid breathing.
They give her steroids and put her on a bronchodilator.
"Cough for me right now," urges the respiratory therapist. Just like that, I need you to cough three times. Good job."
What triggered this particular episode of wheezing?
"It's most likely a virus because in this time of the year, that's the most common reason for children to begin to wheeze," says Dr. Cedric Miller, emergency pediatrician for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
A cold virus can bring additional congestion. That's why the doctor says in the winter, parents need to be extra vigilant. When a child starts to cough or wheeze, "That is a signal that if you have asthma," says Dr. Miller. "You should probably start your asthma medications. And if you're already on asthma medications, that you should increase the frequency of those asthma medications."
Isabella's blood-oxygen level is only at 90-percent. "At 90-percent saturation," explains Dr. Miller, "you are usually in some distress. People describe it as feeling as if they're suffocating. They're just not able to get enough air in. And more importantly, they're not able to push that air out."
So she'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days. "But she'll do well," says Dr. Miller. "She's got a parent who cares, and I'm sure she'll get to her pediatrician and get taken care of in the way she should, after she's discharged."
Asthma is the most common serious chronic disease during childhood. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) cites the following statistics about asthma and children:
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), the number of children with asthma in the United States has more than doubled in the past 15 years. Consider these additional facts about asthma from the National Center for Environmental Health:
The AAAAI defines asthma as a chronic, inflammatory disease of the airways. The tubes that bring air to the lungs are constantly swollen and inflamed, making it difficult for air to move in and out freely. Those airways are also sensitive to certain triggers, which can vary from person to person. It is difficult to predict who will develop asthma and who won't, but studies have shown that certain factors are associated with the onset of asthma symptoms in children:
While the cause of asthma remains unknown, certain factors appear to increase a person's chances of developing the disease. The National Asthma Campaign cites the following factors that might contribute to the prevalence of the disease:
Although asthma is very common among children, it is also a very individualized disease. No two people have exactly the same symptoms or outcomes. The bottom line, according to the AAAAI, is for parents to watch and listen to their children.
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology offers the following tips for parents of asthmatic children:
A child's physician must rely heavily on parents' observations to determine the signs and to make a proper diagnosis. Experts at the Mayo Clinic say that diagnosing asthma can be difficult because symptoms can range from mild to very severe and are often similar to those of other lung conditions. In diagnosing asthma, you can expect the pediatrician to perform a complete medical history and physical exam. In many cases, a lung (pulmonary) function test may be used to determine how much air moves in and out as your child breathes.
If your child is diagnosed with asthma, your doctor will recommend a course of treatment based on your child's age and the persistence of the symptoms. In general, three types of medical treatments are available for asthmatics:
While medications and shots may help, the best way to prevent asthma attacks is to identify and avoid indoor and outdoor allergens or triggers. The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests the following tips for minimizing asthma triggers in your home:
An additional trigger for those children living in cities or highly populated areas may be air pollution. If you and your family live in an area with a high concentration of air pollution, you should talk to your doctor about adding vitamin C and E supplements to your child's diet. The National Library of Medicine and Ohio State University cite the following foods that contain vitamins C and E:
In determining the correct amount of vitamin C and E intake for your child, it is important that you consult your child's health-care provider.

How Many Kids Does Gordon Ramsay Have?
Hells Kitchen?
So there is really going to be a Hell's Kitchen starting on June 25/07? Thanks everyone for your answers I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves that some and YES RAMSEY IS AN ***HOLE
I did hear that Season three would be starting in June. Actually, if you look at some of the Brit shows with Gordon Ramsay, he's not really that big of a jerk although he does curse a lot. He just has high standards which is why he is where he is. He was the youngest person to receive three Michelin stars. If you watch his show, appropriately titled "The F Word" you'll see a different side of him. There is also a show called "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" where he helps failing restaurants turn themselves around. He can be brutally honest and abrupt, but when you see some of the knuckleheads and the poor sanitation practices they follow, you'll understand why. On one show, the chef fed Ramsay a rancid scallop which he promptly threw up.
Gordon Ramsay Killing Turkeys?
There is a Youtube video of Gordon Ramsay killing his pet turkeys and bringing them into his kitchen to cook on an episode of The F Word. Does anyone know the EXACT link for that video? I know it is there because I have seen it before. I just can't find it again. Thanks!! I found the full episode on the Food Networks website. The original YouTube video with just the turkeys dying was removed, hence why I couldn't find it.
Here is the turkey pooping in his kitchen:
Here is the prep:
He also raised his own pigs for slaughter as well, I don't think I'd call either his pets, good to see a chef willing to directly acknowledge the entire process or how meat gets to a kitchen and later a plate.
How many swear words can you throw into a sentence?
Can you top Gordon Ramsay?
Why the **** do you think i give a **** what you ******* think? the nerve of this **** to think that we give a flying **** what she ****** thinks. DOnt ****** bother me with your mundane ****** questions go **** your self.
BEat that, lol
im just kidding by the way.
Will Gordon Ramsay's show 'Kitchen Nightmares' be returning?
Fox has stated that Kitchen Nightmares will be returning for a third season in the U.S. however, no set start date has been announced.
What are some of the names Marianas Trench used to be called?
I know they changed their band name a lot. What are the names/ some of the names that their band used to be called? x)
Marianas Trench have not changed their band name since before Chad Kroeger got them signed with his record Company. They have three studio CD's called Fix Me, Masterpiece Theatre, and Ever After. Yes, Chad did get them their record label! Before anything was recorded Josh Ramsay was in a band called Ramsay Fiction. See below quote from Wikipedia:
"Lead singer, guitarist, producer, and lyricist Joshua Ramsay (Born June 11th, 1985) grew up in a musical family, with his mother being a vocal coach and his father owning a recording studio. Ramsay also shared the love of music and started a solo career at the age of 14. He later needed a supporting band and recruited high school friend, Matt Webb. Josh Ramsay attended high school at Magee Secondary School. Together they formed a band named Ramsay Fiction.[2]
After disbanding Ramsay Fiction, Ramsay and Webb searched for new band mates. Ramsay found drummer Ian Casselman's wanted ad in the Georgia Straight. Through Casselman, they found Mike Ayley as bassist. Casselman and Ayley had previously played in a band together. The foursome chose the name Marianas Trench for their band. After much perseverance they were signed under 604 Records, owned by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, and Jonathan Simkin of Simkin Management."

Holistic Prescriptions hosts fifth Raw Vegan Meal Tasting
By Steve Furay
Special to the Michigan Citizen
"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food" is the famous quote a Detroit woman has taken to heart with her business, Holistic Prescriptions.
By emphasizing the importance of a healthy diet in disease prevention and recovery, the goal of Kalia Keith, a mother, health coach and the founder of Holistic Prescriptions, is to help influence the community's understanding of nutrition by bringing healthy, organic foods to those in need, particularly seniors and cancer patients.
"I wanted it to be a name that was catchy, a name that spoke volumes on what it is that I'm serving," Keith says of her new business. "When you think of something that is holistic, you think of something that's organic, it's healthy for you. And when you add prescriptions on the end, versus the regular pills that they're taking, this is from a healthier standpoint."
With so much stress in today's medical industry, including rising costs of treatment, prescriptions and insurance, finding ways to help the body through times of disease and illness is important for everybody, especially senior citizens. Trying new foods and herbs can be an inexpensive alternative that nevertheless requires knowledge and a strong commitment.
"I can speak from my own personal experience with my mother being diagnosed with colon cancer." Keith told The Michigan Citizen. "(The diagnosis and) taking all that (chemotherapy) … caused her to not want to eat. So they would tell her … to gain weight … to eat anything and everything to gain weight." Keith didn't think overeating junk food was the healthiest decision. "I think that there's a way that you can gain weight but from a more natural standpoint," she said.
"I created some soups to help my mother, and looking at what her disease is, and figuring out which vegetables and herbs can work to counteract some of that to get her energy, I created my soups and my foods that way.
On May 3, Holistic Prescriptions will host their 5th Raw Vegan Meal Tasting at the Charles H. Wright Museum, from 3-6 p.m. Adult tickets are $25, 10-18 years of age are $10, and children 9 and under are free. Included with the tickets are a four-course meal with two infused waters and lemon ginger tea, a health forum, complimentary massage therapy and an art display.
"There's going to be African drumming paying homage to those individuals who have passed away from diseases and cancer, as well as those that still continue to have that fight and trying to get their bodies back in shape through a proper diet," Keith said.
Keith says the tasting "promises to be a gathering of people that share the same cause, wanting to regulate their health, do a better job of their eating habits and being in a great space. I want folks to walk away feeling as if they definitely had that organic experience, feeling the energy.
"And I definitely welcome youth to come along as well. I feel like if we don't start with our youth and having them understand the importance of a proper health and diet, then we failed them as a whole," she says.

So I was working on a project (can't give the details) today, and ran into a weird problem with NotesDatabase.UnprocessedDocuments. Specifically with regard to processing the selected documents in a view, when said view is embedded in a page.
After figuratively banging my head against the wall trying to noggin up a solution, I remembered we recently hired some dude who supposedly knows a few things about Lotus Notes and Domino. So I gave him a ping, to see if he really did in fact have any clue.
I'm happy to say that not only did he come up with a solution (sorry, it is covered by NDA so I can't tell you what it is, but trust me -it is both elegant and workable), he did so in less time than it has taken me to type this blog entry.

Ensure Your Success: 4 Steps To Mental Strength!
Change is scary for everyone. Your decision to be more fit and healthy might leave you feeling unsure, overwhelmed, and anxious. I know from personal experience that switching to a healthy lifestyle can be so intimidating that it's almost crippling. If you're brand-spanking new to the fitness world, the first thing you need to recognize is that it is you who are your biggest obstacle.
When I first began walking down the fitness path in 2007, I felt alone, insecure, and frustrated. I probably tried every weight-loss plan on the planet. To make things worse, I felt defeated when I put all my hopes into a dream physique and it didn't pan out the way I expected it to. I had to start over, which was emotionally disorienting.
The problems that occur at the outset of fitness expeditions are usually caused by a gnarly storm borne from two problems: a fear of failure and a deficient sense of self-worth. This combination leads to a frustrating feeling of isolation. You make the commitment to change and then suddenly feel like you've been thrust back into a crowded junior high school cafeteria and have no friends to sit with. To the new gym member, it can feel like everyone else at the club is staring in silent judgment. This anxiety makes achieving goals feel impossible from the get-go.
So how do you avoid self-destructing before you even start? By applying these four tips:
1 / Remember Your "Why"
Whether you have a wedding or vacation coming up, or you just want to feel comfortable shopping for clothes, you need to constantly remind yourself of why you started. You set out with a goal. When those "I can'ts" start kicking in, it's time for a gut check. If that goal is lost in all your self-doubt and worry, find it, polish it off, and put it back where it should be!
Your desire to conquer your goal must outweigh the psychological negativity. You're in a war against yourself! Until your inner resolve to succeed overpowers your anxieties, you'll remain at a standstill. Although your doubt and your will might feel equal in power, remember that 54 percent desire outweighs 46 percent fear. Technically, that's a win in the books for you. Every little bit of confidence helps and it snowballs with time.
2 / You Are Worthy of Your Goals!
You, Bodybuilding.com reader, are a wonderful, beautiful, hard-working, remarkable, resilient person and you deserve to reach your goals. You are so much tougher than you give yourself credit for! I can't tell you how many times I catch people I know, or even myself saying, "Gosh, I just don't know if I can/should do that—I'm not sure I'm cut out for it." Or, "I want to try that but I'm afraid I'll look stupid or be bad at it." When you say things like this, you tell yourself you're not worthy of the effort because you think you'll probably fail.
Listen up: All people have the right to try to better themselves. I don't care if you're morbidly obese. I don't care if you only have 10 pounds to drop. Whether you're making huge diet adjustments, switching your training styles, changing gyms, or you're starting out with a new coach or trainer, shake off that anxiety. Don't let it win.
You must believe in your heart that you are worth the dreams you chase. Stop caring what others will think, do, or say because it doesn't matter. Surrender to and acknowledge your fears for a moment, embrace them, and let them go. It's much more emotionally freeing to know that you have fears than to pretend they're not there. Believe in yourself and your ability to make progress. Know that it won't be instantaneous.
Next time you're training or struggling with your lifestyle change and find yourself saying, "I don't know if I can do this. I can't do this. I can't ..." Hit the stop button. Get your mind right. You'll be surprised at the difference in power, strength, and desire positive self-talk will make. Telling yourself, "I can" will help you feel empowered and mentally tough.
3 / Give Yourself an Honest Chance
Recently, a friend said to me: "Abby, I've been really good for a month. But watch me fall off the wagon and lose all my progress. Oh, well."
Hey! Don't talk about yourself like that. Don't start out with the expectation that you won't succeed because you're trying to protect yourself from disappointment. When you do that, you put yourself in a hole. You're going to have to climb out of it at some point, so don't let insecurity do the talking. Learn to recognize it, and shake it off. Trust yourself. Trust your program. Celebrate the little victories you see in the mirror and on the scale.
On that same token, I promise you're going to screw up. You're going to make mistakes, miss workouts, and succumb to late-night treats. Mentally and emotionally plan for it now. Self-forgiveness and resilience are key elements to being successful. It doesn't matter how long you've been chasing your goals—I've been training and doing shows for 4.5 years and I still screw up on a regular basis! Just because you cave to a craving or skip the gym for a night does not mean you've just destroyed any chance at success. You're no more or less flawed than anyone else. Expect curveballs, because they're going to happen; but don't use them as evidence against yourself to prove that you're incapable of doing what you want.
4 / Network with Positive People
How many Negative Neds or Debbie Downers influence your life? If you can think of even one, it might be time to change your community.
Rather than surrounding yourself with negativity, find people who are going through the same changes that you are. I've managed to network with some outstanding people who always have good, positive things to say. Their support has made a world of difference to my success. Talk with people who seem happy and are able to find the sunshine in the hurricane. Discover people with drive and ambition who are willing to share it with you. With people like this in your corner, your stock in yourself will grow tremendously.
People who rise to the occasion in life will often take you with them. Conversely, people who complain and give up will stop you in your tracks. Weed out the angry, negative people and invest time getting to know positive people who believe in you. You'll never look back!
Now you're ready. You're ready to take that step, take that chance, and become who you want to be. There's nothing standing in your way except your own anxieties, fears, and doubts. Once you learn how to stop fighting yourself, you'll have a much happier, healthier outlook on your journey. Good luck to you all!

Number 3 always damns me. I've had a history with yoyo'ing because of good eating and suddenly sporadic bouts of binging and i kick myself for how better i could be right now if i hadn't made those past mistakes but you're absolutely right and i refuse to give up on myself.
And i loved the first idea, the "why" always pulls me through. I wear a bracelet 24/7 that reminds me why i'm doing this
I absolutely feel ya. I'll have days where my diet was great then all of a sudden i'm eating enough to last for days! Keep going strong!
Ditto xrizzox! You aren't alone!! :) Keep it up!
love this. thats why i love this website.
I love articles like these! Keep the positivity and remember that long term success comes from short term goals and progress.
#3 happened to me last night by way of pizza. Shook it off this morning and here I am, 40 oz of water down already and a healthy meal in the books. You are going to stumble, you are going to fall. Pick yourself back up just like you would if you really did stumble or fall. Would you continue to lay on the ground if you fell? Absolutely not. Every failure is a set up for a comeback! Keep at it and invest in yourself.
I had a Chipotle burrito bowl last night; it happens to everyone! lol
Great article! Training for my first bikini show and definitely will be printing these tips out. Thanks, Abby!
Like the help and positivity.Especially the association with positive people.
Love all of this.
It seems with me the negative people in my life are family, they think my diet changes, my obsession with working out and my obsession with this website is silly, my family does not have anyone in it that even exercises once a week, they think going for a walk is going to make a change for them, they have exercise equipment sitting around the house that doesn't get used for years on end, but I love my family and I cant block them out.....gotta stay strong!
It is your life not theirs, they are negative because they know no other way, they fear that you will show them up to be failures and so they would rather you fail. Stay determined, dont be put down, in the end they will accept it, it takes years trust me, but you owe yourself not them! Good luck my friend :)
I went through the same thing-- different people filtered out of my life and new ones came in. They thought it was vain and obsessive and I kept explaining it was just commitment. The right people will get your training and diet. I love my family dearly but they didn't "get" or support me much when I first started out. 4.5 years later... now they get it! Hang in there!
I understand that for sure. My father has always been a hardcore gym fiend (I learned about this site from him), but him and my entire family have always considered my nutritional habits absurd and would always get quite annoyed with it. They still do, but I've been doing this for many years now as I try to be as healthy as I want to be. Pssh even when I go out with my friends they make fun of me for getting a turkey burger instead of a beef burger at places.
In short, I always said to them, I don't give a **** if you get annoyed because of how I eat. It's my body and I'm controlling it.
I definitely understand you man. As long as you believe in yourself and know that you are making an improvement, you'll be able to do great! My family thought it was silly at first, but now they know that i'm not just a mindless weight lifter.
Network with posative people id say is the most important aspect! Its a hard lonely road at times and keeping spirits up and enthusiasm high is the biggest task. You need good people around you :)
Thanks for this great article, I binged last night with cheetos and ice cream and couldn't stop feeling guilty awhile ago. This article really helped me think straight and get back on my feet again. Thank you!
It happens to everyone. You just start over fresh with your next meal and carry on!
Bodybuilding is a marathon, not a sprint! Great article and some very good points

Saperstein: Only by rededicating ourselves to the fight against AIDS can we hope to end this crisis that has killed six million people in the last two years alone.
Contact: Alexis Rice or Jacob Fain 202.387.2800
Washington, December 1, 2004 – In observance of World AIDS Day, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
Today, as our global community marks World AIDS Day, we commemorate those who have lost their lives as a result of the crisis encircling our planet and take stock of how we have responded to the moral crisis of our time.
In the past 365 days, more than five million people have been infected with HIV, and another three million have lost their lives. Even as our government has succeeded in expanding access to medicines by increasing funding to fight AIDS, we have failed to meet our fair share of the global need. Congress recently approved $2.9 billion to combat global AIDS this coming year – $2.5 billion short of what we need to contribute. By not meeting our share, we condemn hundreds of thousands to die needlessly – a fate which we cannot accept.
At the same time, we rejoice in the rapid expansion of access to life-saving anti-retroviral drugs in the developing world. For the first time, hundreds of thousands of people will be able to live with AIDS because high quality, low cost generic drugs are making it financially possible to rapidly increase access to medicines.
Only by rededicating ourselves to the fight against AIDS can we hope to end this crisis that has killed six million people in the last two years alone. The coming year will mark a true test, as the world strives to meet the World Health Organization's goal of putting three million people on antiretroviral treatment by the end of 2005. This will only happen if countries, including the U.S. and Canada, dramatically increase their commitment to fighting AIDS – by doubling current funding, and at the same time canceling the debts that cripple poor countries' ability to serve their own citizens. By committing to this bold act of humanitarianism, our elected officials will provide the global leadership so desperately needed by the most vulnerable among us. For the sake of our shared humanity, we cannot afford to fail.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1800 Reform rabbis.

Written by John W. Farah, DDS, PhD Thursday, 09 May 2013 13:28
Like many of you, I am a dentist. In fact, some of you may know me from lectures I've given around the country on dental materials, or from the publication I'm very proud of, THE DENTAL ADVISOR. So, yes. I'm a dentist. That's who I am.
Which begs the question: How the heck did I end up running with a goat on a balmy Saturday morning in Michigan?
Running With Goats?
There he was—thin and young, with good form and a strong, confident pace, not to mention a beard and horns. There I was—also thin, with good form and a strong, confident pace and, yes, a beard. But not quite as young, and thankfully no horns. There we were—running together and pacing each other along the long country road. Yup! It was me and a goat! (Did I mention that I'm a dentist?)
I hadn't planned on going for a run with a goat when I woke up that morning; at the crack of dawn, as usual. I was just going to do my standard Saturday run; 10 miles or so, just enough to loosen up my legs after a long week of sitting hunched over patients.
But then, around mile 6, I saw him. Not the goat, but another runner; a younger guy who was about a quarter mile ahead of me, and running just a little faster. My competitive nature took over, so I decided to catch him. I closed to within 200 yards…160…135…100…so close! When all of a sudden, "Baaaaa!" The goat darted out across the street ahead of me and after the other runner. It was as big as a midsized poodle—and now it was beating me.
It closed in on the other guy, who finally heard the clacking of the tiny hooves behind him. He turned and came to a full stop and was absolutely baffled. He looked at me accusingly and said, in a dead-serious tone: "Is this your goat?" "No," I said, just as seriously. "I thought it was yours." Somehow he didn't catch the joke—although I'm sure the goat found it hilarious. So did the goat's owner, who was very appreciative when I brought the goat back to her farm. I finished my run alone and goat-less, but I was still laughing about it when I got back into my dental office on Monday.
Not only had I enjoyed a great workout, but I also had a fantastic story to tell everyone at work. My patients and dental team got a big kick out of it; we all had a good laugh, and it made Monday a fun and stress-free day. Most importantly, it helped me create balance.
Finding Balance is Essential to Good Health
Allow me to explain. As I'm sure we all agree, being a dentist is great—but it can be very stressful. We work hard to help people lead healthier lives and feel good about themselves and their appearance. But sometimes, I've noticed a tendency for myself and other dentists to focus on work too much. We often find ourselves working so incredibly hard that we forget about the other parts of our life that are just as important, if not more so. Balance is critical. And for me, almost nothing helps me maintain that sense of balance, as a human being, more than running.
Throughout 35 years of trial and error in my profession, here's what I've discovered: aside from simply being in good shape, running before I come to work helps me fo-cus throughout the day. I have more energy, I move with more precision, and the day itself goes much more smoothly and quickly. The positive aura only continues after I get home. And the kind of balance I'm talking about extends even beyond the obvious health benefits. Take, for example, the stories that running brings you. That's right—stories.
Discovering the Adventures Outside Your Office
It's so easy for life to get stuck in a routine, regardless of your profession; running helps you snap out of it. I have adventures all over Ann Arbor, all over the beautiful state of Michigan, and all over the country—and I meet tons of interesting people while I'm at it.
I opened this essay with a story about running with a goat. But I could have just as easily written about the time I got caught with my buddy in a massive rainstorm on the muddy Potawatomi Trail. Or the time I got caught by a cop who looked like Roscoe P. Coltrane while relieving myself during the San Francisco Marathon. (Not something I make a habit of—but sometimes, you got do what you got to do.)
The point being that running has filled out my life—helped to balance it—in ways that focusing only on my career could never have done. At the same time, it has brought me closer to my family, friends, and the numerous people who I have met while running; all this serving to round out my life even more. I know what you're probably thinking…running is easier said than done, right? Where do you find enough time in the day?
Just Do It! Get Some Kind of Exercise Into Your Daily Routine
No one said you have to start with marathons. Maybe you don't want to do 10 or even 3 miles a day. That's fine. In fact, it's probably better to not overdo things. Try taking a walk at lunchtime, just a quick mile or 2. Encourage people to join you. It's a great way for the dental office team to bond together, and everyone will be energized for the afternoon shift.
Or maybe running just isn't your thing. No problem; it's not for everyone. Yoga can also be very helpful, especially for dentists. As dentists, our shoulders and backs can get very tight. Yoga poses really help us maintain flexibility and strength. Even one class a week will make you feel a lot better at work.
Whether it's running or swimming, tennis or yoga (or even gardening), most forms of exercise will help you appreciate your career—your whole life, with all its facets—more than you ever thought possible. Creating a strong foundation for success (no matter what your age) is vital, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually too. Who knows? If you're lucky, you might just have some really cool adventures along the way. (I know a goat out there who's just looking for a running buddy with the "right stuff!")

Uppercup – iPhone Cup Holder by NATWERK – Coffee Texting Solution
We all know texting while driving is dangerous—but texting while walking is dangerous too, a new study finds, and many pedestrians are doing it. But walking with your morning coffee and texting is more dangerous. NATWERK comes out with a clever idea when they design "The Uppercup".
The Uppercup is the first cupholder designed just for iPhone – perfect for businessman and any iPhone fans who love their coffee too. Maybe it's not a practical solution to any real problem, but it is a clever statement about the flood of wild iPhone accessories on the market.

Kho, Chiew Ling (2003) Nucleocapsid (NP) and Phospho-(P) Proteins of Newcastle Disease Virus: Identification of Regions on NP That Form Particles and Interact with P. PhD thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The nucleocapsid protein ( NP) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) plays an important role in the replication of the viral genomic RNA. The NP is closely associated with the viral phosphoprotein ( P) and this association is crucial in ensuring the specific binding ofNP to the viral RNA. In order to have a better understanding of the structure and functions of the NP, deletion mutagenesis was carried out to characterise and localise regions involved in NP-NP and NP-P interactions. The NP and a fusion derivative (NPcfus) containing a hexa histidine tag at its C-terminus were produced abundantly in Escherichia coli. These proteins were fractionated on sucrose gradient centrifugation and microscopic analysis showed that both the NP and NP cfus proteins self-assembled predominantly into ring-like particles with the diameter of 24 ± 2 nm around a central hole of 7 ± 1 nm. Some of these ring-like particles stacked together to form herringbonelike particles which are heterogenous in length with a diameter of 20 ± 2 nm and a central hollow of 5 ± 1 nm. Fusion of the C-terminal end to 29 amino acids inclusive of the myc epitope and His-tag did not impair ring assembly but inhibit the formation of the long herringbone particles. Immunogold labelling of the ring-like particles with the anti-myc antibody showed that the Cterminus of the NPcfus protein is exposed on the surface of the particles.

It comes as no surprise that the Obama Administration put out a Statement of Administration Policy saying that President Obama's senior advisors would recommend that he veto H.R. 5326 (FY2013 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill). To see the statement, please click here.
Apparently, one of the reasons the President would veto H.R. 5326 is because of a NRA-backed general provision preventing funding for the new and unauthorized multiple sales reporting and registration plan proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). On Thursday, April 26, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations approved this general provision offered by Congressman Rehberg (R-Mont.), by a vote of 30-19.
Without this funding restriction, the BATFE could continue to circumvent the will of Congress by collecting information on multiple-sales of long guns by Executive Branch mandate and then, centralizing records of thousands of Americans' gun purchases, without any legal authority.
Please contact your member of Congress and tell them to leave this important provision in the bill. You can contact your member of Congress at (202) 225-3121 or by email.

Welcome to the website of best-selling author Steven Dunne.
Steven's latest DI Damen Brook thriller, The Unquiet Grave, has been shortlisted for the East Midlands Book Award 2014, the most prestigious literary award in the region.
The award is open to the writers of fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry and the inclusion of The Unquiet Grave on the shortlist caps a year which has seen Steven's book receive fantastic reviews from readers around the globe.
The hardback and Kindle editions were published on July 4th 2013, followed by the paperback in October. They are also all available on Amazon. You can enjoy this latest thriller even if you haven't read the previous Brook novels – although, of course, we'd love you to read them all!
You can also find an audio version of The Unquiet Grave at Audible, along with earlier novels. Narrated by Gareth Armstrong, this is a full unabridged version of the book and has received excellent reviews.
Steven's had a really busy 12 months, researching and writing the latest twists and turns, but the response from reviewers and readers alike has been fantastic.
Here's what book reviewer Liz Wilkins had to say: 'A clever crime novel, a 'whodunnit' but also a tense race against time to save a life. And what was truly brilliant? I was honestly not sure whether or not the clock would be beaten and Brook would emerge triumphant- and you won't be either.'
'I want you to put it on your lists folks. And if you haven't met Brook yet – well what are you waiting for? You have time! For the events leading up to 'The Unquiet Grave' it is fine to start with 'Deity'.
'A tip for readers, I know that it's helpful to know if a series MUST be read in order. Mr Dunne's books are all stunning in their own way – but each can be read on its own merits,' she added.
Over on Amazon, the overwhelming majority of readers have been giving the Unquiet Grave a full five stars. Here's a selection of comments from the reviews:
This really is high-end crime writing, excellently constructed and throwing enough red herrings around to both challenge and thrill the reader.
Top 100 reviewer, Lincs Reader
The Unquiet Grave' has all the required ingredients of a great crime thriller. It's gritty, exciting, has lots of twists and turns and some very shocking revelations indeed. It really kept me guessing and the result wasn't what I expected. I can tell that Steven Dunne has given lots of thought to this book. I recommend it to fans of crime fiction.
Remarkable book well worth avoiding life, eating and sleeping to finish. Be prepared for late nights as you won't want to put it down! One of those books you don't want to finish so that it's not over. When you get to the last page you want more. Lucky those of you who have the back catalogue to catch up with and for those of us up to date we are left to nag the author on Facebook to write faster!
It's dark, gritty, chilling and the crimes committed are some of the darkest you can imagine.
What I like most was the twist and turns throughout the book, some I was left reeling with shock. They quite literally caught you off guard, signs of a writer who knows exactly what he is doing.
This is an author I will certainly be looking out for in the Future. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be kept up all night and chilled to the bone.
