Haven't watched it yet but I just got the Avengers yesterday...$37 for a 3D bluray regular bluray DVD and digital copy.
Man, you need to shop around, you got ripped off. I got the same thing for $20 from Amazon. Looks like it's bumped up to $30 now, but still quite a bit less than the $37 you paid. Unless you got some collectors edition that I don't know about.

Billboards Should Be Outlawed
jipster Posts: 5,345Wow... good thing you saw that billboard. Otherwise you would have just continued on your way with that flat tire. :sick:
Billboards were slightly more practical in the 50's and early 60's, when a lot of folks didn't have television and its advertisements. With t.v, internet, cellphones, GPS systems, junk mail and the smaller directional signs on the side of the highway, there is absolutely no reason to have those billboards... which I believe are the epitome of selfishness. :mad: -
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,350"epitome of selfishness" is wanting to see another's land/mountain/scene free of visual contamination. Denying the owner his right to plant a billboard on his property, that is not yours, is selfishness.
Billboards inspire, involve, & inform. Communication is advertising and advertising promotes business growth and PROFITS.
If you don't want a billboard on your property, fine. Don't plant one. -

gagrice San DiegoPosts: 29,258When I traveled with my folks as a kid in the 1950s we played alphabet to make the trip go faster. First one to see all 26 letters in a row would be the winner. It would have been tough without billboards and road signs. I then passed the game onto my children. I learned that my daughter needed glasses as a result of that game. She could not read the letters and never told anyone she could not see distant objects.
The billboards around here that are a bit too plentiful are all for Indian Casinos and radio stations. They could get rid of them as I don't play alphabet with my wife. -

My next plan will be to buy up some cheap houses in some old SW WA town and become a slumlord...a popular avocation among those entrepreneurs, or so I hear. I'll give reduced rent to those who have a billboard on their lawn. -

davethecarnut Posts: 248Graffiti....If Fin and Jip have the same venom for graffitti as they do for billboards, I can understand their passion somewhat. I mean, come on, what's worse? Graffitti or billboards? Billboards don't even come close to being the eyesore as a bunch of work done by tagging hooligans. Plus billboards pay ya, right?
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,409"A new study,conducted by researchers at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute and funded by the Swedish Transport Administration, concludes that digital billboards attract and hold the gazes of drivers for far longer than a threshold that previous studies have shown to be dangerous.The Swedish government had given temporary authorization to erect digital billboards in 2009. As a result of this and related studies, however, the government has ordered the removal of all digital billboards.
"This study validates what is common sense when it comes to digital billboards," said Mary Tracy, president of Scenic America. "Bright, constantly-changing signs on the side of the road are meant to attract and keep the attention of drivers, and this study confirms that is exactly what they do."

According to a 2012 survey by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 53 percent of adult dogs and 55 percent of cats are overweight or obese. That equals 88.4 million pets!
Obesity in pets is no joke. Just like in humans, it can cause a host of health issues, including respiratory distress, orthopedic problems and arthritis, and has been shown to make dogs more prone to diabetes and compromised immune systems.
So how do you know if your dog is overweight? And what can you do to help your portly friend? Read on!
- When determining if your pet needs to shed a few LBs, ask yourself: Does he bulge at the waist? You should be able to feel, but not see, your dog's ribs and spine
- Talk to your vet! Certain health conditions—such as a low thyroid level and other hormonal imbalances—can cause weight gain in dogs.
- One of the most important steps for controlling your dog's weight is to cut out the treats and snacks. Exercise can only accomplish so much if your pet is taking in too many calories between meals.
"If you feel you must give your dog treats, choose low-calorie options such as veggies or a piece of rice cake," recommends the ASPCA's Dr. Louise Murray, author of Vet Confidential. "Decide how many treats your dog will get each day, and…make sure everyone in the family understands the plan and agrees with it."
Even though your aarticle stated that 55 percent of cats are overweight you only had suggestions about dogs. How about some suggestions for them. There a lot of cat people out there!
i went to the AMC emergency room in Nashua Nh 168 Main Dunstable rd because my dog was sick. Find out that he had Parvo it can be a deadly disease. Well Dr. kate Rydstrom took care of us. Come to find out that I needed 3600. i didn't have that amount I only had 2000.

He was 17 weeks old. It has destroyed the whole family. Cost us 367. Dollars. Could someone help me start an organization to help people like myself that couln't afford treatment get help. i need to be guided in the right dirextion. please Help 978 4522175 or 978 746-1762

En Español (Spanish Version)
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare condition that causes the immune system to attack the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It is characterized by numbness, tingling, weakness, or paralysis in the legs, arms, breathing muscles, and face. It can affect all ages.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The exact cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome is unknown. However, in about 70% of patients, a recent infection or surgery is a trigger to an autoimmune response. This autoimmune response attacks the peripheral nerves, leading to weakness and a loss of sensation.
Symptoms may develop over a period of hours, days, or weeks. They will vary in severity from minimal to total paralysis including respiratory weakness. The symptoms grow progressively worse. Most people experience the greatest weakness during the second or third week.
Most patients recover fully, but as many as 25% will have some residual symptoms. 5%-10% have permanent, disabling deficits. For 5% the condition is fatal.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Diagnosis is dependant on the physical exam and history, cerebrospinal fluid findings, and nerve conduction studies .
You may have a lumbar puncture, also called a spinal tap . For this test, a needle is inserted into your lower back to remove a sample of cerebrospinal fluid for testing. If high levels of protein are detected, and there is no infection, this is an indication that you may have Guillain-Barré syndrome. Electrodiagnostic studies are usually done, which test the electrical conduction in the peripheral nerves and help differentiate Guillain-Barré from other disorders with similar symptoms.
Treatment aims to reduce the body's autoimmune response and decrease complications that result from immobility. Hospitalization is important because symptoms may rapidly become more severe, including respiratory failure, cardiac arrhythmias , and blood pressure instability. Most patients need to be in the hospital for a while. Common treatments include:
During plasmapheresis , blood is removed from your body and passed through a machine that separates blood cells. The separated cells are then returned to your body with new plasma. This procedure may help shorten the course and severity of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Intravenous infusion with immunoglobulin (IVIg) may help reduce the severity of a Guillain-Barré attack. Immunoglobulins are proteins that are naturally produced by the body's immune system.
In 30% of cases, muscles necessary for breathing become paralyzed. This is treated with immediate emergency support from a mechanical ventilator.
Your doctor may prescribe medication to reduce the pain. These may include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gabapentin, carbamezepine, or narcotic analgesics.
If you are diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, follow your doctor's instructions .
There are no guidelines for the prevention of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

To a casual observer, Dr. Nat Strand might look like an over-achiever. After all, she and her partner won Season 17 of her favorite television show, "The Amazing Race." Winning the race opened her world up to the diabetes community, which, interestingly enough, inspired her to take better care of herself. Her mission now is to encourage everyone with diabetes to connect with the diabetes community and benefit from knowing others who understand the daily challenges of managing type 1 diabetes. When I caught up with Dr. Strand, we began by talking about what drove her to enter the Amazing Race.

"The Cosby Show" delighted and entertained TV viewers for a record eight seasons as audiences flocked to this addictive family story every week. It was the longest running and one of the most successful sitcoms of the 1980s.
People couldn't wait to tune in to see this wholesome, middle-class tale of a happy, American family bonded by decency, culture, '80s fashion and, of course, humor.
The parents, Clair and Heathcliff Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad and Bill Cosby), a doctor and a lawyer respectively, were the glue of this fantasy family and somehow found the time to make themselves available for their perfectly well-adjusted children.
In short, the Huxtables were the ideal family. However, the Huxtables would not even be a household name if it weren't for the five children who rounded out this perfect bunch.
Whatever became of the five kids? We wondered too and couldn't be happier you asked.
Sabrina Le Beauf (Sondra Huxtable)
The now-54-year-old actress Sabrina Le Beauf barely got the role of Sondra Huxtable due to the fact that she was a mere 10 years younger than her TV mom.
The show was originally cast with only four Cosby kids and Sondra was not among them. Her character, though, offered a constant stream of good decisions followed by logic and reason.
It is no wonder that her role in the Huxtable clan later led to a two-episode stint on "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
Le Beauf is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama but that doesn't mean she has limited herself to acting. She has also worked in her own interior design business and calls herself a student of life.
Her most recent roles have been in a project called "The Stalker Within" and the Nick At Nite animated comedy "Fatherhood," based off Bill Cosby's standup act. She's also a frequent leading lady in stage productions by the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C.
Le Beauf is single and currently resides in North Carolina.
Lisa Bonet (Denise Huxtable)
In addition to starring on "Cosby," the now 44-year-old Bonet endured substantial controversy in the late '80s over her appearance in the movie "Angel Heart," which featured explicit sex scenes.
On her 20th birthday, she eloped with singer Lenny Kravitz. They had a lot in common as they both had one Jewish parent and shared a flair for the Bohemian lifestyle.
Although they seemed to be a good fit for awhile, they ended up divorcing in 1993 with one shared kid. Bonet legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon in the '90s, although she still uses the name Lisa Bonet for showbiz purposes.
Bonet also had a couple of other children (post-Kravitz) with her second husband, actor Jason Momoa, who starred in the 2011 remake of "Conan the Barbarian" and is also known for his "Game of Thrones" role.
Bonet has made sporadic appearances in films such as "Enemy of the State" and "High Fidelity." Her most recent work though, was playing a five-episode stint on the since-canceled TV show "Life on Mars" as Detective Maya Daniels.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner (Theo Huxtable)
Following his role as Theo Huxtable, Malcolm-Jamal Warner appeared in several less popular sitcoms such as "Here and Now," "Malcolm & Eddie" and "Listen Up."
He's also had TV roles in shows such as "Dexter," "Touched By an Angel" and "Sliders" since "The Cosby Show" ended. The now 41-year-old Warner has also released a couple of CDs and seems to find passion and fuel in his musical identity.
Years after easily winning the hearts of the nation in "The Cosby Show," Warner was struck by tragedy. He was left heartbroken in 1998 after the death of his girlfriend, actress Michelle Thomas (from the TV show "Family Matters.") She died of stomach cancer with Warner reportedly at her bedside when she passed away.

Justice Thomas hasn't spoken in the Court since February 2006... today, he finally broke his long-held silence.
to tell a joke.
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2013...s.html?hp&_r=0Justice Clarence Thomas did something at a Supreme Court argument Monday for the first time in nearly seven years he spoke.
But what Thomas said is not clear, other than he appears to have joked about Ivy League lawyers...
Two lawyers in the courtroom said Thomas was joking about Ivy League law school graduates, although one said it was at the expense of Thomas' alma mater, Yale, and the other said rival Harvard was the butt of the joke.
Thomas hasn't asked a question in court since February 22, 2006.

How Do I Find My Model Number?
This document pertains to Compaq desktop PCs.
Use this document to identify your Compaq Presario Desktop computer. If you have a Presario Notebook PC, see
Compaq Presario Notebooks - Locating the Model and Serial Numbers
CAUTION:Installing incorrect drivers or following incorrect troubleshooting procedures could damage your computer. Many Compaq Presarios are identified on the front of the computer by a series number rather than the actual model number. For example, your Presario may be labeled with 5000 on the front of the case, but it is actually part of a 5000 series PC. The correct model number may be 5WV283. If you have a 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, or 8000 series PC, verify that you know the correct model or product number before using support information from the Customer Care web site.
NOTE:Some desktop computers are sold in a bundle with a monitor, scanner, and/or printer. The bundle of products is identified by a "-b" after the model name. To find information for the desktop computer inside the bundle, search for the model name without the "-b". For example, to find information on the SR1913wm-b, search HP's Web site for SR1913wm. To find information about another product in the bundle, such as a printer, look for its model name on a label adhered to the body of the product.
For more information on a given step, click the heading or the accompanying plus (+) sign to expand the information.
The model number or equivalent might be found on an identification label on the outside of the case. On some models the label might be hidden behind the CD storage door or behind the door that covers the CD drives.
When searching HP's Website for your exact model, you can also use the Product number, Prod #, T Code, or System number.
Possible label locations on the computer case:
This procedure can be used on HP and Compaq desktop computers manufactured between 2000 and 2010.
While holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys, press the S key on the keyboard.
The Compaq Support Information window appears. This window contains the model number of your HP computer.

You will have to do som tall figureury if you find out just how this letter reads but every page is numbered. Ogden Utah Feb 9th 1913. My dear Bro Laurie:- I read a nice long letter from you to mama yesterday and was glad to hear you were all right and having a nice time. Mama was very pleased to get it though it was a day late. She had concluded she would send you a night letter last night if she didn't hear from you. You must be real punctual in writing to her for she worries so when she doesn't hear from you every Thursday. I tell you, you had a very close call when mama was sick of not having a Pg 2 mother to write to. Maude, Florence and I were just about in the air we were so frightened it is a long time since I have worried so over any one. But now praise mercy she seems real well, but mama is growing older so noticably lately that when I look at here I feel real bad. I suppose that that is one of the many things in this world though that we can not get away from. I said the other day that I have wrinkles for the first time in my life since Edith's escape and mama's sickness But I suppose if it wasn't for that it would be from some other cause as I am really Pg 3 beginning in years not in feelings, to get older than I was some twenty years ago. We are having one of the finest days to day you could imagine all the roads are dry and so warm and sunny and so many people out riding and walking. Elizabeth and I have been to Sunday School. I was thinking of you as I was going and wishing you would take a little interest in the church work. papa would be so glad and proud of you for it not that we are not proud now but that would be a little more to be proud of. When you come home I want you to go with Pg 4 mama to church and be with her more than you have been in the past. There is one thing you don't think of and that is as events naturally or usually go Helen will out live mama many years so you will have her when mama no longer needs you. We saw Helen yesterday. she is real disappointed that she hasnt a school yet but as I understand it there is no hope for here only as a sub. A girl next to us here wanted a position as a teacher and because she had not had four years high school and two years normal or University she could not get it although she had taught in Neb. twelve years in the same school with Pg 5 out one day off. She had had three years high school and 1 normal. It is against the State Laws to hire under that qualification. Well, Laurie you dear friend the Royal Gunner is still alive and seems to be prospering all right some people say he can see a little but he I think knows what it means if he does and doesn't say much about it. I have had no direct word so can not say for sure what is right. Mama got a letter from Edith yesterday she says she don't fell as if she could ever be happy again but never is a long time. I hope to live to see the day when she can find a Pg 6 good man- morally and mentally and marry him and live with a little comfort around her for Edith is as good a girl as ever was and has had more than her share to bear. If you could only hear mama and Maude tell the things she told them those days she was at mama's you would wonder how any one ever lived through them. We will have any amount of immutable things to tell you when you come home. Little Dee will not go near his pa if he can get away from it. I asked him why and he said "A thousand reasons." I said what are they He said "O you know" so I guessed and Pg 7 left the poor kid alone. He has woke up in the night frightened twice and when Maude asked him what was the matter he told the same old story of the affair. Did the folks tell you Edith and I found some Chloriform in his drawer that he had purchased on the 20th of Dec. It made me sick but I never said much to Edith, but when she was gone home I took no time telling Maude. Ediths house is almost complete and sure looks lovely inside the heat is just about finished but the paper was some of it wrong we are waiting for it to com home they each then we are going at it again. Yesterday they put Pg 8 all the blinds down stairs and I suppose will finish them tomorrow Louise is coming tomorrow and she and I will place the things then the house will begin to look like home and a lovely one too. Have you heard from the girls in Cal.? We get very little mail from them lately. I guess they are too busy visiting. Edith thinks if I would only come down then she is sure she can get mama and Maude down and then we would all be happy. But so far I have had no time for to think of going and I wouldn't like to take Elizabeth out of school any way Pg 9 Elizabeth is such a big girl you have no idea how fast she is growing she is doing fine in school and is well all the time I am so glad her appendix is out for now she seems to be so much stronger and if she can only keep so I am just perfectly satisfied There never was any thing that I considered such a blessing as for her to be well. Well Laurie dear this is a rambly old epistle- when I started it was only to be a note but I never can quit once I start talking as no doubt you know. I am going down town at five Pg 10 minutes of four and take alee and Elizabeth and meet Maude then we are going to the Library and look around a little. Well good by for the time my dear old brother. be a good boy and be sure to write to mama so as she gets her letter on Thursday every week. With best of love to you from us all E. D. Shaw. This will have to be you Valentine as I won't be able to get one started soon enough to reach you. as I haven't one today.

MORRISSEY: A thud in the mud as the Texans clock Cutler
RICK MORRISSEY email@example.com Twitter: @MorrisseyCST November 11, 2012 11:37PM
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler slides to a stop and a first down in the second quarter of the Chicago Bears-Houston Texans game Sunday November 11, 2012 in Chicago. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: January 11, 2013 1:46AM
The problem wasn't just that Jay Cutler suffered a concussion against the Houston Texans on Sunday night. It was that he and the Bears played as if they were concussed for most of the first half.
They looked lost in a fog, even if fog seemed to be the one weather condition that didn't report for duty at Soldier Field.
With the San Francisco 49ers' Alex Smith leaving his game Sunday with a concussion, it creates the possibility of a titanic Nov. 19 match-up between the Bears' Jason Campbell and the 49ers' Colin Kaepernick. And who doesn't want to see that quarterback battle royale?
Cutler suffered his concussion sometime in the second quarter of the Texans' 13-6 victory, possibly on a hit by linebacker Tim Dobbins, who was called for unnecessary roughness. Cutler's second interception of the first half might have been a result of that wooziness. He didn't come back for the second half.
''We're not ruling Jay out,'' coach Lovie Smith said of the San Francisco game.
We don't — and won't — know the severity of his injury, but the Bears will have to take into consideration his history of concussions, which goes back at least to his days at Vanderbilt. It's not one of Cutler's favorite topics, and he has been very closed-mouthed about it in the past.
His concussions had nothing to do with the two fumbles the Bears lost in the first half Sunday. And they couldn't explain how the Texans did a dead-on impression of the ball-hawking Bears defense.
In the offseason, the Bears had brought in the veteran Campbell as the steady hand they were missing when Cutler got hurt last year. He looked very good on a 45-yard completion to Brandon Marshall in the third quarter Sunday. But the Bears had to settle for three points on the drive. The offensive tire-spinning would be the story of the evening.
Cutler had to be warmed by Campbell's decision to throw the ball to Marshall on every pass play. Just like the starting quarterback does it!
If Cutler can't play against the 49ers, ''there's not going to be any drop-off in our offense,'' Marshall declared. It's the kind of bold, I've-got-your back statement starters often make about backups. But no one can say it with any certainty, not when Campbell hasn't had a meaningful snap since training camp.
Go ahead and say Sunday's conditions prevented a fair test between two 7-1 teams. You might even be right. What you can't say is that the rain, wind and mud favored one team over another. The Texans aren't mudders. Neither are the Bears. Muddled, maybe.
What we had here were two evenly matched teams playing in bad weather. It was as messy as real life. It was also entertaining, if you lean toward slapstick or masochism or both.
The Texans tore a page out of the Bears' book. Or ripped it out. Or punched it out. Whatever, they forced two fumbles (one from the dreadful Kellen Davis) and picked off two Cutler passes in the first half.
He had one of his worst halves as a Bear, and that's saying something. He forced passes. He threw off his back foot.
It was so bad that somebody should have taken him aside and told him to be a game manager: Play it safe, don't throw it to the other team and let our defense win it for us. You know, what the Bears used to tell all those other quarterbacks who had scuffled through here the last 20 years. On Sunday, being a game manager in the grand tradition of Caleb Hanie wasn't such a bad idea.
Who knows — the Bears might have preserved their starting quarterback if Smith or offensive coordinator Mike Tice had told Cutler to be a bit more prudent. It wasn't as if the Bears had been going anywhere; they had phenomenal field position in the first half and settled for three points. Committing more to the running game might have helped.
Some Bears said they couldn't tell there was something wrong with Cutler when they saw him at halftime.
''Jay's a tough guy,'' Campbell said. ''He tried to keep fighting through it. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to keep going. They tried to make the smart decision and do the right thing at this point in the season.''
Asked what Cutler's symptoms were, Smith said, ''I try not to be Dr. Smith very often.'' He did say those symptoms subsided during halftime.
The strange thing about Sunday's game is that the much-criticized offensive line played fairly well. Cutler might have been hurt trying to make a play near the line of scrimmage. He probably wasn't injured by a defensive lineman trying to plant him in the mud like a tree sapling.
But that's how it went Sunday. Danieal Manning, the ex-Bears defensive back, had an interception and forced a fumble in the first half, the kind of game a player dreams of having against his former team.
You can't blame the Bears' defense, especially Tim Jennings, for what happened. Jennings twice picked off Matt Schaub in the first half.
As the game went on, the rain moved like a procession of ghosts in the glare of the stadium lights. It fit the mood of the Bears' night. They lost a quarterback and a football game, but it wasn't weather-related. It was turnover-related and Texans-related. A perfect storm.

Derrick Rose speaks: 'I might have a chance' for Heat series

Updated: May 13, 2013 9:38AM
MIAMI – Derrick Rose doesn't hear your criticism. He doesn't hear what the media is saying about him, what the fans are saying about him, only what the Bulls organization asks of him.
And as the point guard said on Monday morning, they aren't asking anything of him, so the bubble stays protected.
"No, it's no pressure at all,'' Rose said, when asked about the Bulls opening a playoff series against Miami tonight, and him once again out. "I haven't had any pressure from anyone. Not in the organization, not from my teammates. They know I'm putting everything I have on trying to come back as fast as possible. Just trying to be smart with the whole situation. Just taking my time.''
Rose, who had surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last May, was cleared by team doctors to return to the court almost two months ago, but has maintained all along that he still wasn't ready.
Again he was asked, why not come out and end all the speculation by just declaring himself out for the postseason, and again he replied, "You never know. It's been a long time since I played. I'm just really trying to be smart about the whole situation.
"Still in the air. I might have a chance.''
That would contradict a Yahoo Sports story in which a source told the website that Rose has already made his choice to sit out until next season, and will not change his mind.
If he has informed the organization of that behind closed doors that would be news to them because one source said on Monday afternoon that Rose has not made that statement to the front office.
They still don't think he's going to play, but not because he slammed the door on that idea.
So then it gets back to how can Rose continue to sit while there is so much criticism, and even animosity, building around him?
"Just the same thing, man,'' Rose said. "I'm watching a lot of movies. I think a Bruce Willis movie came out on the hotel TV [Sunday night]. I watched that like twice. Just been on my computer listening to music.''
Rose was asked about the comments from former Bulls guard Steve Kerr, who is now an analyst with TNT, that the MVP owed it to his teammates to try and play, and downplayed it.
"Everybody has their own opinion,'' Rose said. "His words that he said, 'if I'm ready.' Right now, I'm not ready. I'm just trying to take my time and really, really be smart. It's definitely hard. But I know this will be over with pretty soon. Who knows when it's going to stop? But I can't get down on myself for not playing.''
Besides Rose, the Bulls will be without Luol Deng, who is back out of the hospital, but still in Chicago. Kirk Hinrich is a game-time decision with a bruised left calf, but wouldn't be able to give them many minutes even if he could go.
Even with all his teammates gutting it out to get on the court, Rose remains very stubborn on his situation.
"It's the same thing,'' Rose said of the questions being asked of him. "I'm used to it. I can't get tired of it. I just know that people want to know where I'm at. I'm just trying to give them an answer.''

Muslim Women With Another Dismal Grand Slam
September 1, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
In what has become a disappointing pattern, the Muslimas of the professional tennis world have once again experienced miserable results at a Grand Slam tennis tournament. This time around it is the U.S. Open, which began this week. India's Sania Mirza seemed to carry the highest hopes of the bunch, with her WTA singles ranking on the uptick, most recently reaching number 63in the world. But she did not receive the smoothest of draws, facing the number 23 seed Shahar Peer of Israel in the first round. Mirza started off well, taking the first set 7-6 (7-5) from her former doubles partner. But that was it, as Peer stormed back to take the next two sets, and the match, 6-3, 6-1. This concluded what has been a downer of a month for Sania, as she lost in the first round of her last event, the Texas Open. And, she has also spent the last few weeks refuting claims by the Pakistan Tennis Federation that she demanded a $25,000 appearance fee earlier this year for a charity exhibition match for the Lahore flood victims.
Aravane Rezai, of France, had most recently had a run of good play. She made the finals of the Texas Open the previous week before losing to Sabine Lisicki. But because of Hurricane Irene, Rezai had to fly to Cleveland, Ohio and then drive to New York for the U.S. Open. And perhaps all those hours on the road took a toll on Aravane, as she went down meekly to number 26 seed Flavia Pennetta in the first round 6-4, 6-1.
The only spot of good fortune at this year's U.S. Open amongst Muslim women came via Uzbekistan's Akgul Amanmuradova, who dispatched of Tamira Paszek in the first round 6-4, 6-2. And things opened positively on the men's side, as Pakistan's Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and his Indian doubles partner Rohan Bopanna, opened their tournament with a 6-1, 2-6, 6-2 over Americans Robbie Ginepri and Rhyne Williams. Qureshi and Bopanna finished as runner-ups in last year's U.S. Open, and they are the fifth-seeded team in this year's tourney.

Most of the seedlings in the nursery are grown from native seeds and acorns collected locally by our staff and volunteers. We nurture the seedlings here for up to two years, until they are strong enough to be planted back at their collection sites – increasing the likelihood of their survival in the wild.
The nursery also grows and cares for fruit trees that we distribute to low-income communities in Los Angeles through our Fruit Tree Program. In addition, it provides a storage area for our Community Toolbank of equipment and supplies used to green local campuses, neighborhoods, parks and mountain forests.
Making an impact one tree at a time
Thanks to the staff and volunteers who work in our nursery:
More than 80,000 fruit trees have been planted in backyards, on school campuses and in community gardens throughout Los Angeles.
20,000 native plants and trees are planted annually as part of our mountain restoration program.
12,000 seedlings are planted and given away as part of our Eco-tour program each year.
Lend us your green thumb

Follow these six steps to move on with your life
Your boyfriend, the guy who said he would always be there for you, suddenly ended the relationship. Or perhaps you broke up with him because you realized he was not Mr. Right. Either way, you're stunned, and you discover that even though you might be better off without him, you hate being alone. Here are a few steps you can take to move on with your life once a relationship has ended.
Step 1: Remember that your relationship was imperfect. It's easy to recall the good things about being in almost any relationship, especially when you don't have a date for your friend's upcoming wedding.Tina Tessina, PhD, psychotherapist and author of Money, Sex and Kids, says her clients often ignored early signs of trouble in a relationship that failed. She warns against picking out the "few good moments you remember and ignoring what wasn't working."
Step 2: Get your emotions out in a healthy way. Don't hold your hurt or angry feelings inside—this can actually make you sick. If you have a single friend or can reconnect with one, this would be a good time to chat. It's sometimes tough to tell married people how much you hate dating right now, although many of them had bad breakups before meeting Mr. Right. If you like to keep your feelings private, consider journaling. It's also OK to seek professional counseling while you're grieving over a lost relationship. As Dr. Tessina says, a professional viewpoint can help you move from the past to future plans.
Step 3: Don't hold on to tangible reminders of the relationship. Maybe he gave you a perfectly nice purse for your birthday, but why are you reminded of him every time you look for your car keys? You'll be reminded of the relationship in other ways, but it doesn't have to invade your living space. If he left any personal belongings at your home, stick them in a box out of your sight and enlist a friend or relative to return them.
Step 4: Make time for things you enjoy. I was able to find comfort through my writing. If your work is not as fulfilling, think about the causes you support or a hobby you always wanted to pursue. Are you an animal lover? Volunteer at a local rescue organization. Love reading? Join a book club. Dr. Tessina recommends that you "use the energy from your anger and grief, and channel them into doing things just for you." The Internet can be especially helpful in your search to find groups that offer something you're interested in doing or learning.
Step 5: Don't even think about contacting him to get "closure." While it's great when adults can forgive each other, most people are too angry and hurt after a breakup to do this. "Longing to talk 'just once more' to your ex is just asking for pain," Dr. Tessina says.
Step 6: Get back into the dating world on your own time. Take time to work out your frustrations and disappointment before you start dating again. Dr. Tessina advises after the initial upheaval, analyze what went wrong in the relationship, what you could have done differently, and what you learned. With the benefit of hindsight, you will start to see aspects of your past relationship that you don't want to repeat and you'll be closer to finding the right partner for you.

I knew the trailer for this novel would have to be character-based, since there are no paranormal plot elements in the storyline. No chase scenes or explosions either. This is a novel about people, told with humor, but also made up of some touching scenes. I wanted to convey all of that, but needed to do it in the space of thirty seconds to a minute. I also knew I'd be using still photos with text in between, and wanted to get the book title on the screen a few times, without being too obnoxious about it.
So I came up with a "script" and a list of images I needed, enlisted my husband to do some photography around town, bought some stock photos, and hired my daughter, the very skilled Maria, to do the rest. She used iMovie on a borrowed Mac, since she'd taken video production in high school and was familiar with that particular program. The iMovie program comes with royalty-free music, which was a bonus.
At times I sat next to Maria while she tried different effects, fonts and colors. I tried not to micro-manage (believe me, that was hard), and she said my feedback was helpful. The script turned out to be too long, and we scrapped part of it. In the end, the clip turned out to be just over a minute in length.
The idea of a book trailer is the same as a movie trailer--it doesn't have to tell you exactly what the book's about, it just has to set the tone and make you want to see more. Fingers crossed that this trailer does just that. :-)

Linky Wednesday
First up, translation rights to my novel, Favorite, sold to the German publisher Boje last year, and will come out in German in September. The cover is the same, but the new title is Die Lilienvilla. I know that the "Die" in the title means "The," but despite several years of high school German, I'm stumped by "Lilienvilla." Online translators are no help either. If anyone out there has a clue, I'd love to know. And if the translator, Sabine Bhose, reads this, I'd love to hear from her. Email me, Sabine!
Next--regular commenter to the blog, writer Joshua Grover-David Patterson is doing a great series of posts on his blog Everybody Thinks They Can Write regarding film making. I have a new interest in screenplay writing and movies, mostly in that I've been trying to write a screenplay and am finding it challenging. What I have learned though, is that studying story structure in films is helping me with my novel writing. So if you write any kind of fiction at all, you might want to check out Joshua Grover-David Patterson's site.
Lastly--I recently signed up for something called VYou and discovered that the resolution in my laptop webcam is terrible. Regardless, VYou will soon be embedded in my site. The basic definition of VYou is "conversation video." Basically, it enables people to visit a site and type in a question for someone. That someone will then record video responses which can be accessed by anyone. The official description is:
VYou combines the intimacy of one-to-one conversation with the reach of broadcast. Send messages to users and get personalized video responses, or browse pre-recorded responses to messages submitted by others. Develop an engaged fan base by encouraging others to follow your responses. Share video responses via Facebook and Twitter, or embed a VYou profile on your website or blog.
The easiest way to understand it is to see it. My profile is here, if you want to check it out.
And not related to writing at all--my sister recently sent me this Youtube video saying it reminded her of me. I have no idea why that would be. Hmmm....Maybe because I can kick really high?
That's it for now.

Good luck on your screenplay writing. I've been doing the same. You may already know, but I'mma pass it along anyway, there is a free software that makes writing screenplays really simple, called Celtx. I've been using it for sometime now. :-)
It's sweet your sister sent you a video, I send my sister a picture of a cat doing funny things everyday, just to make her smile. She loves cats. - May 18, 2011 at 9:56 AM

Karen, you are braver than I!! Putting myself in front of a camera? Haha, the world doesn't need to see that ;)
Congratulations on selling the German rights! I'm so happy for you :)
If you break "Lilienvilla" into "Lilien Villa" (two capitalized nouns, as I'm sure you know from taking German), it comes out as "The Lily-Villa". That's the only translation I found, so I hope that helps :)

Hi Kathleen--yes, sisters are really something!
Lena, I wish I had heard of Celtx BEFORE I bought my software. Heh. Maybe your suggestion will benefit someone else--thanks! And I agree, cats can be a hoot.
J.E. Medrick, I hate pictures and video of myself, too. If you look at the clips you'll notice that I tried to do it from a slight distance (as if that makes a difference!).
Thanks for helping with the title. It still puzzles me, because it doesn't seem to fit the book, but maybe all will be clear someday.
Cynthia, if you get some free time to play around with it, I think you'll find that Twitter isn't that hard. Believe me, if I figured it out, you can too. (I still can't figure out my digital camera though, just between you and me.)
Shea, your wunderbar made me laugh! Thanks. - May 18, 2011 at 4:43 PM

If you're interested in screenplay writing, you might want to check out two books. "Screenplay" by Syd Field is considered a primer. Another really great book is "Save the Cat!" by Blake Snyder. I've read both and written one feature film screenplay. So far. :)

Adding to the congratulations. As to the title,it does take place in a mansion,IIRC, so the "villa" part makes sense. If you translate "mansion" from English to German with google translate, you get "villa".
"Lilien" is the plural of "lilie", so it's the "Mansion of Lilies" or something like that.
Google Translate now has a feature that lets you click on the words in the translation to get alternate translations. It doesn't help in this case, but sometimes it does. - May 19, 2011 at 8:41 AM

As a young woman of 49, I have absolutely NO APPRECIATION of that video. Especially since I couldn't kick that high even if I was laying on my back!
Regarding screenplay writing: have you read Save the Cat? I've just started it and know that it comes highly recommended. - May 19, 2011 at 12:18 PM
- Karen McQuestion said...
Hi Debbi, you've written a feature film screenplay? Why don't we live closer? We'd have so much to talk about.
Sean, the German deal came about through a foreign rights agent, so I can't take any credit for it.
Hi Joshua Grover-David Patterson! Recommending your site was a no-brainer. Your posts are excellent and I learned a lot.
Suzanne, you look much younger than 49. Seriously. :) And to answer your question--I do own Save the Cat and think it's a great book--entertaining and informative.
Coleslaw, thanks for doing the detective work on the book name. The owner of the mansion is named "Lillian," and the German description spells it as "Lilian." So maybe the name is a variation of her name--a double meaning? I will think on this. - May 19, 2011 at 8:40 PM
That is so cool. How do you get one of those? :) I also wanted you to know that Breaking the Beale Code is available on Kindle...finally. Thanks again for all of your help.

I don't think it's a double meaning. I had forgotten the character's name was Lillian, but I do know in German they compound words even more so than in English, so rather than say "Lillian's mansion", they would say "the Lillianmansion". Kind of like we might say "The Beale house" for the house where the Beale's live, but with the two nouns made into one compound noun.
- May 19, 2011 at 11:47 PM

Sean--you are very welcome! The cover of your new book is great, BTW.
Coleslaw, I think you've cracked the code! Thank you, thank you, thank you. - May 20, 2011 at 2:03 PM

I know, Karen. Except we'd have to make it a less snowy place than Wisconsin. Sorry. :)
However, I visited Madison once in the fall to attend Bouchercon (the big mystery convention). It seemed like a really awesome college town. Too bad about the snow, huh? :) - May 20, 2011 at 9:04 PM
- Karen McQuestion said...
Debbi, if you ever get to Madison again, let me know! I live an hour away.
And about that snow--I just think of it as our thing. Some places have horrible summer humidity, searing desert heat, poisonous snakes and/or spiders, ginormous cockroaches, earthquakes,etc. Wisconsin is short on all these things, but we have snow. Could be worse. - May 22, 2011 at 8:00 AM

Are you working on your screenplay with Gail? She mentioned you two were working together. I recently was told I should write a screenplay for "Finding Hope" by a guy (I'm just thrilled guys like my story as well as girls), who writes tv commercials. He seems to think it would be a perfect LMN story. So maybe I'll have to try writing a screenplay one day.

Hi Dody! Thanks so much for leaving a comment.
Gail is working on her screenplay and slowly but surely I'm working on mine, but we get together to exchange feedback. She's good at feedback(as you know). Good luck with your screenplay (if you decide to go that way). - May 25, 2011 at 3:29 PM

Congrats on the German rights. I have German friends and they love reading sci-fi and fantasy in English. My next novel is a fantasy so I'm nervous they might want to read it and not like it. You're brave to try a filmscript. On the face of it they look easier than fiction but I suspect they are harder because they live on the dialogue - unless you write a silent movie... :) Good luck

Hi Christopher, I always worry about people I know reading my books and not liking them. I think it comes with the territory. :)
Thanks for the luck! - May 27, 2011 at 3:49 PM

CNN stumbles against TV's instant 24/7 rivals in race to cover Boston Marathon tragedy
BY LORI RACKL TV firstname.lastname@example.com April 20, 2013 6:26PM

Updated: May 22, 2013 7:13AM
With virtual round-the-clock coverage of the most popular show on television Friday — "Manhunt" — broadcast networks beat cable news at its own game.
ABC, CBS and NBC turned into de facto 24-hour news networks, preempting most of Friday's regular programming to chronicle the unfolding story of the search for surviving Boston bomber suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The mostly solid, comprehensive coverage made the unraveling at rudderless CNN — a traditional go-to spot for breaking news — all the more apparent. The cable news net's reportage took turns Friday alternating between confusion and sheepishness, the latter undoubtedly a reaction to the public shaming it endured earlier in the week after mistakenly stating that a "dark-skinned" male had been arrested.
Factual errors aside, CNN's on-air personalities often floundered during Friday's drama. Chris Cuomo became the butt of jokes on social media after asking a terrorism expert how someone could be a good and bad person at the same time. National correspondent Susan Candiotti, who seemed to be frequently caught off guard, described the desolate, cordoned-off streets of Watertown to look "as though a bomb had dropped somewhere." Wolf Blitzer was, well, Wolf Blitzer. Around 7 p.m., a viewer tweeted: "If you play 'Dark Side of the Moon' over CNN's current coverage you'll still probably get more insight into what's happening."
That's not to say other networks — both cable and broadcast — didn't get things wrong, didn't take a ride on the slippery slope of speculation, or didn't plain screw up, like when NBC dipped into a New England Cable News feed just in time to hear a reporter confess, "I don't know s—t." But it was CNN, a network in flux with a new boss, Jeff Zucker, that struggled the most throughout the week.
Despite those problems, CNN saw a massive jump in total viewers during the Boston coverage. It averaged an audience of 1.05 million (much higher than that in primetime) over the four days that started with Monday's bombing. That's a 194 percent increase over the same time period the week before. The average number of Fox News' viewers jumped 48 percent, to 1.64 million, while MSNBC drew 514,000 for an increase of 37 percent.
During Friday's drama that drew viewers in droves, caution — or at least the appearance of it — seemed to be the word of the day as networks tried to avoid becoming fodder for Jon Stewart. Some broadcast their footage with a five-second delay in case things turned gruesome, like they did in September when Fox News inadvertently showed a car-jacker's suicide on live TV.
Anchors and correspondents repeatedly couched reports with caveats about information being unconfirmed. NBC News chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd abruptly cut off an analyst as he started to talk about an Amazon "wish list" belonging to someone with the same name as one of the suspects. Politico's Dylan Byers noted that Todd may have saved MSNBC from a blunder along the lines of Brian Ross' report for ABC last summer, when Ross mistakenly suggested the Aurora, Colo., shooting suspect might have had connections to the Tea Party based on a sole website.
Scott Pelley on CBS and ABC's Diane Sawyer, who scored an informative interview with a neighbor of the owner of the boat Dzhokhar hid in, disseminated news of the manhunt responsibly and with restraint. The same can be said for NBC's Savannah Guthrie, who ably helmed a long morning shift Friday for "Today" without the help of Matt Lauer, who was in Texas. The biggest kudos go to NBC News justice correspondent Pete Williams, who grew increasingly lonely for a while there Wednesday while sticking to his (correct) stance that no arrests had been made.
Unlike the Boston Marathon, covering heater stories in today's instantaneous, 24-hour news environment is a flat out sprint. No network made it to the finish line without tipping over at least a few hurdles. But CNN showed us it needs to get in shape, fast.

Melissa Dawn Huggins-Jones, 30, was found dead inside her apartment Tuesday.
She had just moved to the area two weeks ago, according to First Tennessee Bank officials in Cleveland. Huggins-Jones had worked for First Tennessee for more than 10 years and according to Mike Griffin of First Tennessee, had transferred to Raleigh, remaining with the bank, to manage a branch business.
Reports from North Carolina media sources said she was "covered in blood on a bed inside her apartment."
Huggins-Jones' 8-year-old daughter initially found her body and went for help outside their new Allister North Hills apartment complex. Construction of more apartments was underway and the child approached a construction worker and asked for help, according to reports.
A worker called 911 after going inside the apartment.
Investigators with the Raleigh Police Department have filed a search warrant for Huggins-Jones' Facebook records, according to WRAL TV reports.
Huggins-Jones reportedly deleted her account Saturday.
According to its reports, WRAL noted that investigators continued to collect evidence from the apartment building.
Investigators have not released information on how Huggins-Jones was killed, although the manner of death has been determined to be a homicide.
Reports also noted investigators haven't determined if the "crime was random."
Huggins-Jones was reportedly from Elizabethtown, N.C.
Her 12-year-old son remained in Cleveland with his father to complete the school year, earlier reports indicated.
The couple was recently divorced.
Her 8-year-old daughter is reportedly with family members.
WRAL reported a funeral service is set for Sunday in Elizabethtown, N.C.
She was a graduate of Cleveland State Community College.

Customers carry packages Friday into the Glenview Post Office. Unitied States Postal Service officials recently announced plans to cease first class delivery on Saturdays. | Geoff Scheerer~Sun-Times Media
Updated: March 21, 2013 4:00PM
WINNETKA — Coupons for things you'd never dream of buying.
Dreaded bills.
Solicitations not so cleverly disguised as: "Important Information. Open immediately."
If that's what is stuffed in your mailbox most days, or if you view paper correspondence as a quaint but outdated custom, you probably won't care that the U.S. Postal Service plans to stop delivering mail — with the exception of packages — on Saturdays.
On the other hand, there's Jennifer Vu, who still enjoys sending and receiving paper mail. She appeared stunned by the news.
"Oh my gosh — that's surprising," said Vu, 30, a River North physician dropping off her wedding invitations at the Fort Dearborn branch post office downtown Wednesday. "I'm not happy about it. It's one less day to get mail. I already feel it's difficult when you don't get mail on Sunday."
Outside of the Winnetka Post Office on Chestnut St. Friday afternoon a steady flow of customers visited with most saying they were sad to hear mail will only arrive on weekdays.
"I'm sad to see the diminishment of government services, but I'm retired so I'll adjust," said Winnetka resident Claudia Dancing.
Chicago resident Carol, who declined to give her last name, came out of the building with a few postal boxes and said she would pay closer attention to her bills.
"I don't know if it will affect when payments arrive, but I think people will have to be more careful about sending in their bills," Carol said.
The Postal Service's new plan is intended to save about $2 billion, the financially struggling agency says.
The service announced last week that the Saturday mail cutback would begin in August.
The move accentuates one of the agency's strong points — package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has declined with the increasing use of email and other Internet use.
Under the new plan, mail would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open on that day.
Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages — and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully appealed to Congress to approve the move. Though an independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control.
Material prepared for last week's news conference by Patrick R. Donahoe, postmaster general and CEO, says Postal Service market research and other research has indicated that nearly 7 in 10 Americans support the switch to five-day delivery as a way for the Postal Service to reduce costs. ~.

2008-09: Christopher Gibson moved to Canada from Finland and played for the Notre Dame Hounds Midget AAA team. In 18 games, he posted a 2.63 goals-against average and a .895 save percentage. Gibson was chosen in the first round,m 16th overall, of the 2009 CHL Import Draft by the QMJHL's Chicoutimi Sagueneens.
2009-10: In his QMJHL rookie season, Gibson played in 29 games for the Sagueneens. He posted a 3.50 goals-against average, a .884 save percentage, and a 8-19-0 record. In 4 playoff games, Gibson posted a 3.39 goals-against average and a .871 save percentage. Gibson played for Finland at the 2010 U-18 World Junior Championship but did not appear in any games.
2010-11: In 37 games for the Sagueneens, Gibson compiled a 2.42 goals-against average, a .920 save percentage, and a 14-15-8 record. In 4 playoff games, he turned in a 5.20 goals-against average and a .865 save percentage. Gibson was named to the QMJHL's First All-Star Team. Gibson played for Team Cherry at the 2011 CHL Home Hardware Top Prospects Game, giving up 3 goals in a 7-1 loss to Team Orr.
2011-12: Gibson appeared in a career-high 48 games for Chicoutimi in his third QMJHL season and played for Finland in the 2012 U20 World Junior Championship. He was 27-17-4 with 3 shutouts and had a 2.97 goals against and .893 save percentage for the Sagueneens. Chicoutimi finished fifth in the East Division but then advanced to the playoff semifinals. Gibson was 9-9 with 1 shutout in 18 playoff games and had a 3.12 goals against and .903 save percentage.

He became an unrestricted free agent in June of 2013 after he was not signed by the Los Angeles Kings and instead signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Toronto in July of 2013.
Talent Analysis
Thanks to his great positioning, any puck that Gibson can see, he's likely going to be able to stop. Technically solid and aggressive in his crease, Gibson moves well and is quick to cut down the angles. In addition to his strong glove hand, he also controls his rebounds extremely well.
After failing to earn an entry-level deal with the Los Angeles Kings, the Maple Leafs signed Gibson to fill out their depth at the pro level. Gibson will look to compete with Garret Sparks for the Toronto Marlies backup position in 2013-14.

The "Cosmogonic" Form of Genesis 1

In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
When a Christian explores divine action in nature, that person also moves into the realm of revealed purpose and meaning of existence—each of which emanate from within the triune God who is love.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
It is not a surprise that a scientific theory will address areas that are poorly understood: indeed, it is expected that theories, as they expand, will naturally have a frontier where the science is far from settled.
We are interactive human beings with a capability and a need to connect with others. Those connections can be through electronic or written means but nothing can replace the need for direct personal engagement. Our annual meetings continue to provide that interaction in an environment of open discussion and often vigorous debates.

Some of the Germans have done remarkably fine painting-portrait, still life and landscape. On the 22 April 1945, a well-attended art exhibit, featuring fifty of the best paintings, was held in the Officers Club. All the work had been done at the prisoners own expense and during their free time. The paintings sold rapidly and the men received canteen coupons in return.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The head of counter-narcotics operations at Lebanon, Colonel Adel Mashmoushi,
casts doubts on the flight set up by the governments of Venezuela and Iran
stopping over in Damascus, Syria
Thursday December 15, 2011 05:27 PM
PROCESSION. Without shadow of a doubt, out of the changes made by the
President Commander to a party, which changes colors and eats from the
government and the army, such as the United Socialist Party of Venezuela
(PSUV), the winner is the military group, composed of both radicals and
conservatives, from the Cuban leftwing to the capitalist rightwing.
The latter does not want to do anything at all with the Castro brothers.
As part of this scheme, the name of Diosdado Cabello reemerges. With his
parliamentarian demagogy, he has succeeded in remaining top in the
robbery-lution since his election as a congressman. More than one was
surprised that Cilia Flores, AristA^3bulo IstA-oriz, Erika FarAas and
Antonia MuA+-oz were dumped. Continued flattery and being lavish in
praising on the national hero turned out to be useless. In addition, the
appointment of Vice-President ElAas Jaua, Deputy for Zulia state Francisco
Arias CA!rdenas, and Minister of Interior and Justice Tareck El Aissami as
coordinators on three sites clearly shows who will be running for governor
of Miranda, Zulia and MA(c)rida states. For this reason, the
Vice-Presidency and the Ministry of Interior and Justice will be vacated.
Time will tell if Foreign Minister NicolA!s Maduro and Colonel NA(c)stor
Reverol will hold such incumbencies. The caudillo has embarked upon the
party radicalization in army-people-government in view of his disease and
with the only aim of consolidating such structure in his setting;
increasingly threatening democrats and dissenters; foreboding "the
national flood" in the event of disappearing, and scaring voters; rather
than opponents, those who have been with him in former elections and still
enjoy unfulfilled social welfare missions.
VIRTUAL CAMPAIGN. The first six mobile units for "presidential
broadcasting" have been dispatched from Spain. Four bigger units are
coming next from England. All of them have been procured through Cuba with
the usual triangulation including a 30% or 35% surcharge. Such units, of
cutting-edge TV and satellite technology and "fly away" embedded, will be
handled by the new division of "Presidential Communications." Therefore,
state-run TV channel VTV will be left out. President Hugo ChA!vez's
advisors are interested in covering the whole country in minutes with
up-links via satellite. All that paraphernalia hints that for such
broadcasting, the candidate will move with the help of obligatory
simultaneous broadcasts or by means of the huge network of flattering
IRAN. An extensive report from The New York Times has yielded serious
charges by the Lebanese police against Hezbollah and its bonds to money
laundering from drug traffic of South American cartels. They finger the
Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), the cartel of MedellAn and
the "Envigado Office" in Colombia and Mexico with the Los Zetas gang. The
head of counter-narcotics operations at Lebanon, Colonel Adel Mashmoushi,
casts doubts on the flight set up by the governments of Venezuela and Iran
stopping over in Damascus, Syria. Illicit drugs coming in that country
from Venezuela is possible only with Hezbollah's support, the officer
said. There is a lot on the plate...
