One of the playable PlayStation 2 games at Electronic Arts' pre-ECTS press-event was Kessen. Developed by Japanese firm Koei, Kessen is a strategy-simulation game based in the Samurai era of Japan. The game, which is being released in DVD format, puts the player in command of large armies during recreations of authentic Japanese feudal battles. The game has already been released in Japan and will be available at the same time when the PlayStation 2 launches on October 26.
GameSpot acquired several new screenshots of the game from EA's event. Take a look at the screens by clicking on the image above.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Pope Speaks Clearly to Educators
By John-Henry Westen
April 19th, 2008 LifeSiteNews (www.lifesitenews.com) Appeals to 'Academic Freedom' Cannot Justify Positions Contrary to the Faith. WASHINGTON, DC (LifeSiteNews) - "Any appeal to the principle of academic freedom in order to justify positions that contradict the faith and the teaching of the Church would obstruct or even betray the university's identity and mission," Pope Benedict XVI told Catholic school and university administrators from across the nation gathered yesterday at the Catholic University of America.The Pope drew special attention to what he called "harmful developments" in Catholic education regarding human sexuality. "Particularly disturbing," he said, "is the reduction of the precious and delicate area of education in sexuality to management of 'risk', bereft of any reference to the beauty of conjugal love." The Pope suggested that in nations such as America where the State provides generously for free public education, the need for Catholic education is questioned. Therefore, he said, Catholic education is about bearing witness to the truth of Christ and the Christian faith. He asked the educators: "Do we accept the truth Christ reveals? Is the faith tangible in our universities and schools?" He concluded the point noting, "Fostering personal intimacy with Jesus Christ and communal witness to his loving truth is indispensable in Catholic institutions of learning." "Teachers and administrators, whether in universities or schools, have the duty and privilege to ensure that students receive instruction in Catholic doctrine and practice," he said. "This requires that public witness to the way of Christ, as found in the Gospel and upheld by the Church's Magisterium, shapes all aspects of an institution's life, both inside and outside the classroom. Divergence from this vision weakens Catholic identity and, far from advancing freedom, inevitably leads to confusion, whether moral, intellectual or spiritual."

American Lung Association Celebrates Effective Treatment Option for Latent TB Infection
Washington, D.C. (May 17, 2011)—
As an organization founded in 1904 to combat tuberculosis (TB), the American Lung Association is encouraged by results of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) clinical trials on effective treatment of latent TB infection.
This is an important study and is directly applicable to the care of patients with latent TB in the US. A major obstacle to preventive treatment among patients with TB has been a lack of adherence to the nine months of treatment. Implementation of this three-month regimen should significantly increase the number of patients receiving full treatment, thus decreasing the number of activations of the disease in the years to come.
For additional information on Tuberculosis, visit the American Lung Association website.
About the American Lung Association
Now in its second century, the American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. With your generous support, the American Lung Association is "Fighting for Air" through research, education and advocacy.

Wheeler echoed the weather assessment, and repeated the wording in a Cleveland Daily Banner interview, when he retired in December.
And now, Water Division Vice President Craig T. Mullinax is taking his turn at watching Mother Nature. His latest observation came when assessing the record rainfall totals that saturated Cleveland and Bradley County, and most of Southeast Tennessee, in 2013.
Perhaps at a loss for words, Mullinax described the area's 76.17 inches of rain as being simply "... amazing."
"This is just amazing," the longtime CU Water Division leader said at a recent session of the Cleveland Board of Public Utilities.
Lightheartedly asked by Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland, a utility board member, for his predictions into 2014, Mullinax didn't hesitate. In lighthearted fashion of his own, Mullinax stressed, "I never [predict] on rainfall."
That's because Mother Nature can be a finicky lady.
Sunday's rainfall that doused Bradley County through the night and into today, and is expected to continue off and on through the week, is serving as a reminder of what Mullinax called a "wet, wet year" in 2013.
Mullinax is expected to provide operational and service updates Tuesday when the utility board holds its next formal monthly session. Given the bitter cold of January, he — as well as Electric Division Vice President Bart Borden — should have plenty to talk about.
In the utility industry — especially full-service public companies like Cleveland Utilities that provide electric, water and wastewater — weather is tied directly to sales volume. In the winter when it's wetter, CU sells less water. In the summer when it's dry, CU sells more water. And in temperature extremes, whether it's hot or cold, the utility sells more electricity either to cool or to heat homes, businesses and manufacturers.
Like utility companies throughout the Southeast region, CU is coming off a wet year in 2013. The 76.17 inches of rain that fell atop Bradley County from January through December — including a two-month drought in September and October — far exceeded the yearly average of 54.33 inches for this area. In his monthly report, Mullinax termed it a "... departure from normal" in the amount of 21.84 inches.
Using a chart included in his board report, based on information from the Cleveland Filter Plant, Mullinax showed that the 2013 rainfall totals far exceeded any year dating back to 1996 when 54.42 inches fell. The closest total to 2013 came in 2011 when 71.61 inches fell.
A look at the last 17 years points to Bradley County's extreme level of saturation in 2013.
According to Mullinax's chart, the rainfall totals in that span of time — from 1996 through 2013 — included: 1996, 54.42 inches; 1997, 55.29 inches; 1998, 60.76 inches; 1999, 48.53 inches; 2000, 48.81 inches; 2001, 47.60 inches; 2002, 53.81 inches; 2003, 68.62 inches; 2004, 68.16 inches; 2005, 49.94 inches; 2006, 47.52 inches; 2007, 32.74 inches; 2008, 48.13 inches; 2009, 68.16 inches; 2010, 48.03 inches; 2011, 71.61 inches; 2012, 49.85 inches; and 2013, 76.17 inches.
Mullinax's apt description of "amazing" was perhaps even more "amazing" given the fact September registered only 2.70 inches and October offered a scant 0.83 of an inch. That left the remaining 10 months to rack up the record totals.
The big hitters — or perhaps more appropriately worded, the big splashers — were January and July, both of which donated 10.90 inches of rainfall. April contributed 10.51 inches. Down the line, December rains delivered 8.20 inches, June gave 7.31, and May poured in 6.20. Other months included August, 5.36; November, 4.91; March, 4.72; and February, 3.63.
In a related development, though it has nothing to do with rainfall, Mullinax said CU crews in November hooked up 21 meter sets. This was down from 24 for the same period in 2012, and 25 for November 2011. A meter set is the physical connection of a CU water meter to a new development or a remodeling that requires a new meter.
Meter sets are a measure of construction activity, and new construction is considered a gauge of economic development. When economic development numbers are up, it signals a good or recovering economy.
Of the 21 meter sets in November, Mullinax said they included: single-family housing units, 14; commercial, 3; three-unit townhome, 3; and irrigation, 1.
In other developments during the recent session the board:
- Approved the Fiscal Year 2013 audit report.
- Approved a purchase order to Pointe General Contractors LLC for the renovation of the building at 865 Freewill Road (also known as the old Collins building) and site in the amount of $192,173. The facility will be utilized for additional warehouse space for materials, equipment, a backup dispatch center and an off-site virtual server array and data storage for computer systems backup. The site will be utilized for transmission and special distribution pole storage and a future substation location.
- Approved revisions to the Street and Outdoor Lighting Rate Schedule as recommended by TVA with an effective date of March 1, 2014.
- Approved a purchase order for the 2014 Southeast Industrial Development Association invoice in the amount of $50,978. This is a partnership with TVA and the Southeast Tennessee Development District that dates back to the early 1990s. Half the cost to CU is reimbursed by TVA.

Electricity. Electricity for Kids 1. How Electricity Works" Humans have an intimate relationship with electricity, to the point that it's virtually impossible to separate your life from it.
Sure, you can flee from the world of crisscrossing power lines and live your life completely off the grid, but even at the loneliest corners of the world, electricity exists. If it's not lighting up the storm clouds overhead or crackling in a static spark at your fingertips, then it's moving through the human nervous system, animating the brain's will in every flourish, breath and unthinking heartbeat.
When the same mysterious force energizes a loved one's touch, a stroke of lightning and a George Foreman Grill, a curious duality ensues: We take electricity for granted one second and gawk at its power the next. More than two and a half centuries have passed since Benjamin Franklin and others proved lightning was a form of electricity, but it's still hard not to flinch when a particularly violent flash lights up the horizon.

Just because a car is old doesn't mean it's slow. Yet there's a tendency for people to think that's the case, even if the car in question is a racer. If you show people a picture of an old racing car, such as this writer's own 1961 Lotus 20/22 Formula Junior, and tell them it will lap a track faster than a modern supercar, they tend to think you're nuts. Even automotive writers will look at a prewar racing car and wonder if the drum brakes actually stop the vehicle, to which you're tempted to reply, "No, you throw an anchor out the back."
We decided to see just how fast old racing cars actually are. Where do they get their speed compared with a modern supercar? Where on a track-and why-are they slower? How do different generations of racing cars compare with one another and with a supercar?
We assembled three great old racing cars and a Porsche 911 GT3 at England's Donington Park circuit. We chose cars that are the fastest of their breed today: an ERA (English Racing Automobile), to represent the prewar era; a Lotus 16, as the ultimate front-engined Formula 1 machine; and a Brabham BT11A from the early mid-engined period. We used our Racelogic VBox to analyze acceleration, braking, and cornering performance objectively, and we drove all four for subjective comparisons.
At the end of the 1930s, the fastest racing cars on the planet were German: the Mercedes-Benz W154 and the Auto Union D-type. Nowadays, however, for a number of reasons, they would struggle to keep up with Mac Hulbert's sinister black ERA, chassis R4D, around Donington. First, this particular ERA has been tweaked continually since the 1930s. Second, the Mercedes and the Auto Union use nineteen-inch tires that don't have as much grip as the ERA's sixteen-inch tires. Finally, the German cars were built for long straights and fast, open corners-a circuit type that has all but disappeared.
This ERA is thus the fastest prewar car in vintage racing. It uses a supercharged, 2.0-liter OHV in-line six-cylinder engine that makes about 300 horsepower, which is fed to the rear wheels via a four-speed Wilson planetary preselector gearbox. The car has a live axle with semielliptic leaf springs at the back and a Porsche-type trailing-arm independent front suspension with torsion-bar springing. Ready-to-run weight with the driver aboard is 1834 pounds.
Around Donington, the ERA lapped three seconds off the pace of the GT3, which is as good a track car as you can buy. A regular Porsche 911 Turbo or a Ferrari 360 Modena would be hard-pressed to better the ERA's time. The almost-instant gearshifts, which barely register on the data traces, and the 1.14-g cornering limit are amazing. Sure, the tires are tenacious, but the car generates all that grip despite a high center of gravity and relatively narrow rear tires on 5.5-inch-wide rims. It loses out to the Porsche in cornering speed-especially in the faster bends-and in braking, but it holds its own in acceleration once you have it pointing straight.
You feel the ERA's age when you step into it, however. You're perched high in what feels like an armchair, with a giant steering wheel ahead of you. The monstrous Godfrey supercharger lives between your legs, which is scary when you realize that the rotors will be spinning at about engine speed. There's a commanding view over the long hood and the front wheels, which makes the car easy to place in the corners, and you can see much of the track ahead of you at any given time. You tend to drive the ERA based on what the front wheels are doing: because you actually can see the understeer, you just add power to get the front wheels into a neutral attitude. When the front wheels are countersteering, you back out the throttle.
The preselector gearbox is as fast as and smoother than a modern sequential manual. To shift, you preselect the required gear on a quadrant down by your right leg and engage it by pressing the left-hand gearshift pedal. The ERA's handling balance relies on your right foot and your own bravery, because it will understeer off throttle, become neutral under power, then oversteer wildly if you use too much of the abundant torque. R4D has a reputation for being evil at the limit, but stiffer front torsion bars have made it friendly, even in the wet. The steering is deliciously accurate but is heavier than the Lotus's or the Brabham's.
The brakes are powerful (for drums) and produce 0.71 g under heavy retardation. The engine is a thing of some beauty, producing lots of power from 1500 rpm to Hulbert's 6500-rpm redline. It makes a wonderfully sharp exhaust bark overlaid by the whine of the supercharger, and it emits a heady stench of Castrol oil and burnt methanol. It also propels the ERA extremely quickly down the straightaways.

text: Your Eminence, I am pleased to welcome to the Vatican the distinguished members of a delegation from the World Islamic League taking part in meetings sponsored by the Community of Sant'Egidio. It is my hope that your discussions will promote better understanding between Muslims and Christians and more effective cooperation in the cause of peace. At a time when conflicts and wars are causing immense suffering to members of the human family throughout the world, there is an urgent need for a witness by the followers of the different religions to our common convictions regarding the dignity of man. This is especially the case in those situations where religious differences have been invoked as a motive for animosity, violence and contempt for the rights of others. Christians and Muslims alike are called to combat the misuse of religion and to foster reconciliation and dialogue. As I said to the followers of Islam gathered in Assisi earlier this month, at the special prayer meeting for peace in Europe: "Your presence... proclaims that religious belief is a source of mutual understanding and harmony, and that only the perversion of religious sentiments leads to discrimination and conflict" (John Paul II, Address to Representatives of the European Islamic Community in the Sacred Convent of Saint Francis in Assisi, 3 [10 Jan. 1993]). Dear friends: I am convinced that the various religions, now and in the future, must play an important part in preserving peace and in building a society worthy of man (cf. John Paul II, Centesimus Annus, 60) . Your presence today is a sign of your desire to work together in order to create the necessary conditions for a just and peaceful world. I encourage you to continue your dialogue with patience and perseverance, and I cordially invoke upon you the choicest blessings of the Most High God. © Copyright 1993 - Libreria Editrice Vaticana |


text: Opinion: Can gay and straight men ever truly be friends? Danny Baxandall 19 Sep 2012 So So Gay If you've got a penis and an internet connection, you'll have watched porn. If you've got a penis, an internet connection, and a desire to see other penises, you'll have watched 'gay for pay' porn. It's a certainty; like death and taxes, or someone auditioning for the X Factor with a 'dead relative' sob story. Some sites are set up almost exclusively to show purportedly heterosexual men – either wittingly or unwittingly – getting hot and sweaty with other men for cash. Others only incidentally show straight guys, but usually make a large fanfare about the fact. To be fair, a market exists for this because a lot of us do find straight men pretty damn hot. On some level it undoubtedly stems from school – whether it's the slightly sadistic vindication fantasy against the rugby team captain who called you queer and pushed you into the lockers, or an unrequited desire for your best friend. It may be because you're self-loathing and so refuse to have anything to do with gay culture; the stereotypical idea of a straight men is by definition the antithesis of it, so you fancy them. Whatever reason you have, I doubt there are many gay men out there who haven't had a crush on an often completely oblivious straight bloke. This is why I'm not convinced it's possible for a single gay man and a straight man to be best friends without any agenda or sexual tension screwing things up. Everyone's familiar with the cliché that straight men and women can't be friends because they'll end up in bed together, but most people will likely scoff at this statement nowadays. 'Of course men and women can be friends without sex ruining things', they'll say, 'Don't be so naïve'. Show me a healthy group of mixed-gender friends where no-one wants to sleep with anyone else, and I will show you a bunch of asexuals. It's worse with gay men and straight men, because at least if you're a straight woman who fancies her straight male friend, you can hit on him and see where it goes; likewise when you fancy another homosexual. Perhaps I'm speaking wholly from my personal experience here, underestimating how restrained the rest of you are. However, it's fairly unusual for gay men not to make things pretty sexual rather quickly with the men we fancy. Whether it's a snog in the G-A-Y loos at 2AM, or DMing pictures of ourselves wearing only our underwear (or less), as gay men we tend to cut to the chase and make it clear what our game plan is. But what do you do with straight men? That kind of good clean fun doesn't go down as well as you'd hope. Try doing that with the straight guy friend you fancy and the likelihood is you'll be left looking at his dust trail. This isn't even necessarily about how they look, either – the straight men, I mean. From a gay man's perspective, there are two boxes straight guys fit into: the 'Boring Dickhead' and the 'Adorable Hottie', but neither box is a lifetime guarantee. The same guy can be shifted between them with regularity – and interestingly, neither one of them appears to be dependent on the subject's physical attractiveness. Think about the number of times you've met a heterosexual guy who has made your heart skip a beat with a flex of his pecs and a smouldering gaze, only to ruin everything by revealing he has the intelligence of a box of hair. You'd still consider sticking it in him, but once you were done, he'd need to get out before he died from forgetting how to breathe. He goes in the 'Boring Dickhead' box. Conversely, how many straight men have you completely overlooked initially, only to get to know them and realise that actually, they're everything you've ever wanted in a boyfriend: friendly, kind, and just the right level of shyness – not to mention they've never had sex with any of your slutty mates. They are the 'Adorable Hottie'. Of course, with the 'Boring Dickhead', you don't start making friends with them. Their various unattractive personality traits – whether an inability to hold a decent conversation without mentioning how much of a 'player' they are, or them being horrendously and outspokenly anti-Semitic – outweigh any positive ones, making it impossible to achieve anything greater than tight-lipped tolerance of them to start with. To be moved out of that box, they need to vastly alter their personalities or you have to develop some major blind spots for their less pleasant quirks. When you have an 'Adorable Hottie' on your hands, though, it's much more dangerous. To start off with, you probably won't even realise you think of him any differently; he's just another mate. If anything, it's more refreshing going for a casual pint with him because you don't have to deal with any of the drama of the gay scene. Your chats are honest and upfront, and you feel comfortable with him because you know there's no agenda. He's never had a male friend he can talk to this openly, so you get to hear about all the stuff he'd never dream of telling his straight mates, or his girlfriend. You are neither a target for his affections, nor are you competition for the women he fancies, so he doesn't have to worry about discussing his own vulnerabilities. Maybe you'll even jokily flirt, just to draw attention to how ridiculous the concept of you two as anything other than mates really is. Problem is, if he doesn't say something stupid, thus relegating himself into the 'Boring Dickhead' box, you're going to keep hanging out with this guy you feel incredibly comfortable with. The same guy who makes you laugh, who shows you sides of him you know you're one of the only people to see, and you're going to start thinking, 'I like feeling like this'. You begin to muse on why you don't ever meet any gay guys who you get on this well with. Then comes the clincher, and the start of the countdown to the death of your friendship: 'I wonder if he's being this friendly because he likes me like that…?' The minute this crosses your mind, it's over. You can drag it out for as long as you like, but realistically there are only a few ways this can go, and none of them end well. You can try and find a way to stop fancying him – convincing yourself he's a dickhead or avoiding him entirely, for example – but these are stopgap measures at best. One way or another, he will become aware that you're metaphorically or literally doodling his name into your notepad, and that'll be it. Personally, I'm a fan of the slow reveal. It took one straight guy until our fourth date – dinner, cinema, everything – before he finally realised that to me, they were in fact dates. A more traditional but no less awkward method is the 'drunken confession', or the other alcohol-driven method, drunkenly hitting on them. The passive-aggressive amongst you may enjoy the territorial response: being so bitchy and unpleasant towards anyone else they date that they eventually figure out you're a possessive, crazy person. Whichever method of nailing your unrequited love to the flagpole you choose, it's going to end your friendship. Then again, I might just have been doing it wrong. Maybe, if you're mature, you can sit them down and explain how you feel, acknowledging their heterosexuality and confirming nothing could ever happen, allowing you to salvage some kind of relationship. Maybe that level of honesty can even strengthen your friendship. Just – and take it from me here – try and do that before you've spent £140 on a guy who doesn't know you're dating.

Human Capital News Roundup: Nursing environments, value-based care, recognizing signs of violence, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows and grantees. Some recent examples:
Zachary Goldberger, MD, an RWJF Clinical Scholar, spoke to the New York Times about a study he led that examined the ideal amount of time to continue cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on patients in cardiac arrest. "The study found that patients have a better chance of surviving in hospitals that persist with CPR for just nine minutes longer, on average, than hospitals where efforts are halted earlier," the story reports. First published in The Lancet, the study is one of the first to link the duration of CPR efforts with survival rates. It is expected to prompt hospitals to reconsider their protocols.
RWJF Health & Society Scholar Jason Houle, PhD, continues to receive media coverage for his study that finds students from middle-income families leave school with an average of $6,000 more in student loan debt than their lower-income peers. The students were also more likely to have more student loan debt than their higher-income peers. Among the outlets to report on the findings: United Press International, Bloomberg Business Week, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the Wisconsin State Journal.
A study supported by the RWJF Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI) finds that "when nurses take steps to intervene in the medication process, they are more likely to catch would-be errors before they reach the patient," Fierce Healthcare reports. The findings also indicate that a supportive practice environment is associated with a higher quality of nursing care. Read more about the study.
Nurse.com reports on some of the 55 schools of nursing that received grants in June through New Careers in Nursing (NCIN), to support students pursuing second careers in nursing. NCIN is a program of RWJF and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Learn more about the grants.
Penn Medicine has developed a model to teach medical residents how to practice value-based care, Becker's Hospital Review reports. RWJF/U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Clinical Scholar Mitesh Patel, MD, MBA, is co-developer of the program, called VALUE. "Our model can be used to train young physicians to assess the benefits of medical interventions, with the goal of selecting those that generate high value and reduce unnecessary costs," Patel said.
Medical News Today reports on a study led by Health & Society Scholars alumna Alison Buttenheim, PhD, MBA. It finds intentionally unvaccinated students in California may be compromising "herd immunity" and putting other children at risk. Read more about the study.
Medical News Today also reports on a study led by Clinical Scholar Alan Teo, MD, that finds more experienced psychiatrists are more likely to notice signs of violence in their patients than new doctors. The researchers also found that a basic checklist assessment dramatically increased the inexperienced doctors' accuracy in recognizing the potential for violent behavior.
"Most public high school graduates from Chicago who attend the city's community colleges increase their odds of eventually earning a bachelor's degree," according to a study led by Health & Society Scholars alumna Jennie Brand, PhD, MS. Inside Higher Ed reports that the students from public high schools who would otherwise not have attended college were 93 percent more likely to earn bachelor's degrees if they enrolled in a community college.
Health & Society Scholars alumna Sarah Burgard, PhD, coauthored a guest commentary in the Detroit Free Press about the unemployment rate in the Detroit metro area. A longitudinal survey conducted by Burgard and her colleagues has found prolonged hardship for many residents of southeast Michigan in the wake of the Great Recession, including long-term unemployment, dependence on government programs, and food insecurity.
Health & Society Scholar Christina A. Roberto, PhD, commented to Reuters about a study that finds cartoon stickers on fruits and vegetables could make them more appealing to children as snack choices.
Amelie G. Ramirez, DrPH, a member of the Health & Society Scholars program National Advisory Committee, wrote an article for NBC Latino about a survey in which Hispanics cited obesity and a lack of exercise as the biggest health problems for kids.

February 24, 1997
The following story was written by Robert Tulk. Robert has been a full time fisherman for as long as he can remember. In the last few years, he has been interested in furthering his education. In his spare time he likes to write. Robert received his level three diploma in 1994. Since going back to school, his self-confidence has increased and given him a sense of accomplishment.
It was a cold winter's night in the year of 1894 when Jim Davis of Pinchard's Island, Bonavista Bay, took his gun (a muzzle loader) in hope of getting a shot at a bird that was offshore. Jim was 14 years old at that time and in these far off times, a 14 year old was considered a man. Hunting back then was a way of putting meat on the table.
He was besides a fishing stage waiting for the bird to 'come in under' (outport slang for a bird coming close to shore). In the fishing stage a trap skiff was under construction. A fisherman from the island was planking a boat. He saw Jim waiting by the stage and asked him to come inside to hold the chalk line which he was using to mark a plank. Jim went inside and leaned his gun besides the boat while he held the line.
In those times the floor of a fishing stage was often constructed out of 'lungers' which is lengths of a round wood laid cross-ways on the beams. Sometimes they would be a couple of inches apart.
While holding the chalk line Jim's gun slipped and went down between the lungers. The gun discharged and hit him in the lower part of his arm.
There were no doctors on Pinchard's Island at that time. The nearest doctor was at Greenspond about five miles away. But the people of Pinchard's Island were used to emergencies. Jim was given first aid as best as they could provide. Then he was bundled up and placed on a four oar boat. The boat left on it's journey of mercy. It was a race between life and death.
When they arrived at Greenspond he was taken to the doctor's clinic. Jim was not put under anaesthetic while he was undergoing treatment. He was awake the whole time his hand was being amputated.
Jim Davis survived. In his lifetime he was a fisherman and a sealer. He even built a model of a two-masted schooner. It was remarkable, since he had lost his right hand and had to learn how to use his left.
There is an interesting bit of history concerning Pinchard's Island. There were four one-handed men living there. They all lost their hands due to accidents with muzzle loading guns.

Iraq breaks up al Qaeda chemical weapons cell
Iraqi soldiers wearing gas masks hold precursors used to make chemical weapons. |
The Iraqi military announced today that it arrested five members of an al Qaeda cell that was seeking to manufacture chemical weapons, including sarin nerve gas, and plotting to conduct attacks within Iraq, Europe, and North America.
The Defense Ministry announced that it arrested the five members of the al Qaeda in Iraq cell and raided two factories in Baghdad that were used to research and manufacture the deadly chemical agents. The arrests were made with the help of undisclosed foreign intelligence services.
The chemical weapons cell was seeking to produce sarin as well as mustard blistering agents. The group had acquired some of the precursor chemicals as well as the formulas needed to manufacture the agents.
According to the Defense Ministry's spokesman, the cell was plotting to use remotely-piloted model aircraft to spray some of the chemical weapons sometime next week as Shia mourners commemorated the death of Imam Kadhum.
The cell also had contacts with a network that would have attempted to smuggle the chemical weapons for use in the United States, Canada, and Europe, the Defense Ministry said.
The report of an al Qaeda cell in possession of chemical agents is the second from the Middle East in the past two days. Yesterday, Turkish newspapers reported that members of an Al Nusrah Front cell were in possession of sarin gas, and were planning to conduct attacks at the Incirlik Air Base in Adana, and in Gaziantep, a city near Turkey's border with Syria. Other reports said that the Al Nusrah Front cell was planning to use the deadly nerve gas inside Syria. The reports have not been confirmed by the Turkish government.
The Al Nusrah Front for the People in the Levant is al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria. The group was formed by al Qaeda in Iraq, and its leader has openly sworn allegiance to Ayman al Zawahiri, al Qaeda's emir. The Al Nusrah Front is one of al Qaeda's most dangerous affiliates. More that 10,000 fighters are estimated to be in its ranks, and the group is said to be absorbing entire units from the so-called secular Free Syrian Army.
Al Qaeda in Iraq has attempted to construct crude chemical weapons in the past, and has employed such weapons on the battlefield. In 2007, al Qaeda in Iraq launched more than a dozen chlorine suicide bomb attacks in Baghdad, Anbar province, and Diyala province. The chlorine gas strikes killed 32 Iraqis and poisoned over 600 more.
In Syria, the Al Nusrah Front is suspected of launching a chlorine gas attack in March of this year. Twenty-six Syrians, including 16 Syrian soldiers, were killed in the attack.
Al Qaeda has long sought to place chemical weapons in its arsenal. In 2002, CNN found videos of al Qaeda experimenting with chemical weapons at the Darunta camp near the city of Jalalabad in Nangarhar province, Afghanistan. The video showed al Qaeda members experimenting with a gas thought to be sarin or another nerve agent on dogs. Formulas to make sarin were also found at the camp.

In the ongoing ISLAMIC CIVIL WAR between Hezbollah Shia and al Qaeda Sunni being played out in Qusair and throughout the region, are there ANY drawbacks to funneling ALL our money and heavy weaponry to al Qaeda?
I'm not a big fan of al Qaeda. We need to rethink our approach to this ISLAMIC CIVIL WAR.

Is there a way we could get an analysis on the larger trend of violence in Iraq? It unfortunately seems to have increased in recent weeks.
Posted by davidp at June 2, 2013 9:19 AM ET:
I'm wondering whether this is an Iraqi/Iranian propaganda showpiece in response to increasing reports of Syrian chemical weapons use, such as Le Monde's claims, e.g. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/27/us-syria-chemicalweapons-idUSBRE94Q05720130527
"The group had acquired some of the precursor chemicals as well as the formulas" yet were "plotting to use remotely-piloted model aircraft to spray some of the chemical weapons sometime next week as Shia mourners commemorated the death of Imam Kadhum" but don't seem to have decided which weapon to use - Sarin (could be effective) or mustard gas (useless in model plane quantities). Next week seems too soon too, if they hadn't yet produced any product from a tricky chemical reaction.
Why hide the suspects faces, as in the al-Jazeera article ?
The chemical glassware looks like random dirty old chemistry equipment, not material for quantity manufacture of anything.
I'm no expert, I'm just suspicious.
Posted by Caleb at June 2, 2013 7:55 PM ET:
Could this potentially be connected to the recent arrests of al-Nusra members in Turkey? You know, the ones who allegedly had sarin elements?
Posted by Sergio Miller at June 3, 2013 9:08 AM ET:
The reported al-Nusrah chlorine attack and fatality numbers are implausible. Chlorine has not been used since WWI and Syria has no known chlorine stocks. Second, hundreds of tons (or tens of thousands of shells) are required to produce a small number of fatalities - typically, a two per cent fatality rate was achieved in WWI. The claims for the 2007 'chlorine bombs' in Iraq are also exaggerated, incidentally.

If these weapons are used in Boston would that be crossing a red line?
Posted by blert at June 3, 2013 9:06 PM ET:
Sergio Miller...
Chlorine was the original poison gas. Normal airflow along the Western Front was from west to east; Germany had to wait for the reverse. Then specialist troops released massive volumes of chlorine during a quiet time.
They blew it. Instead of listening to their chemists (Haber) they did not back their gambit with any serious military action.
As a visible, heavy gas, chlorine flowed forth like a science fiction monster -- pooling heavily in the sea of craters. It also sunk down and in to ALL of the 'safe' hides used by the defenders. Rather than crawl up to the exposed surface, the men bugged out -- taking large numbers of injured men with them.
Chlorine demonstrated that it could entirely displace the defense -- and that it could inflict massive injuries -- without fatalities -- mostly. It was so irritating that in open spaces every man would run away from it before ever receiving a lethal dose.
It was rapidly phased out as a war agent because newer agents figured to be much more effective.
Because of the general weather -- it was a mistake for Germany to introduce gas warfare. 95% of the time the wind would take all gases straight back towards German lines.(1)
While Syria almost certainly has not weaponized chlorine gas... every nation on Earth has it stockpiled or makes it. It's a primary chemical used everywhere in industrial chemistry.
For the Iraqi fanatics, the utility of chlorine was not that it would kill -- it was that it would cause a complete panic. In doing so, it would be an apex terror agent. Eventually, everyone would figure out that merely running away, climbing to higher levels, and rinsing with water largely ruin the effect of chlorine gas. It's so irritating that few ever inhale a lethal dose. Of course, if you're knocked out by a blast, that's a different matter.
It's this 'easy treatment' that caused militaries to shift to r e a l y nasty brews -- of which the real horror was created.
( Though the term poison gas is used -- the military went over to heavy vapors, volatile liquids and the like almost a century ago. They wanted the persistence. Even immense quantities of chlorine would drift away on a warm day, 'cause it's still just a gas, even if it's a heavy gas.)
Posted by Vital Signs Absent at June 5, 2013 1:36 PM ET:
@Sergio Miller
The purpose of the insurgents' chlorine gas attack was to attribute the primary destructive act. Was the dispersement of chlorine the actual causative factor resulting in 30 KIA/600 wounded? Probably not. But was the actual bomb(s) detonation and fragmentation responsible for these aforementioned numbers? My experience says yes.

Above: When she's not murdering Cerberus
soldiers, Liara enjoys checking Shepard's internet history
Race: Asari
Role: Shadow Broker
Preference: Males and females
Personality: Serious, cerebral, adorable
Our favorite Asari scientist/biotic wunderkind is now the Shadow Broker, and has set up shop aboard the Normandy in Miranda's old office. We're covering her first because, frankly, she's willing to get naked for anyone. She's also the second permanent squad member, and since James Vega is not a romanceable character, Liara will be the target of many impatient Shepards.
Previously, on Mass Effect
Both new and imported male and female Shepards can romance Liara. Those who romanced her in ME1 may have to do some damage control beforehand, however. Since she was absent from your crew in ME2, it's understandable if you filled the loneliness void with one of your other 2000 crew members. But Liara is the Shadow Broker now, and she sees all. Thankfully, none of that really matters to Liara, provided you clear the air when speaking with her in her quarters early on. If you 'cheated' in ME2, tell Liara that you want to continue your relationship with her. This won't cement anything, but it is the first and most important step.
Romance Walkthrough
Apart from what we've already mentioned above, Liara is very low-maintenance. Make sure to give favorable responses to her dialog, and visit her every once in a while in her office, though there are several times when she will actually seek you out, regardless if you are trying to woo her.
Above: Liara waiting for Shepard to get off the toilet. Uhh, maybe this isn't going work out...
Before the Tuchanka missions wrap up, go to the Citadel and pay Liara a visit. She'll be at the Presidium Commons café. Use this opportunity to further fortify your relationship. You can also have an in-depth conversation with Liara in her quarters just before the Priority: Horizon mission.
Closing the Deal
Your opportunity to confirm the romance with Liara happens in the Presidium Commons late in the game. Liara will be standing near the shops at the southwestern part of the map. Don't worry about seeking her out every time you visit the Citadel; she invites you to join her via private message. The following vid is of a Shepard who did not romance Liara in ME1:
The real reason you're here:
Once you've chosen to go ahead with the Priority: Cerberus Headquarters mission, the following scene between Shepard and Liara will take place the night before:
salvador-tapia - April 18, 2014 9:36 p.m.

Starting today, New York commuters are passing controversial new ads equating radical Muslims with "savages."
New York's Metro Transit Authority posted the ads in 10 subway stations today after a losing a legal battle with the pro-Israel group the American Freedom Defense Initiative.
As NPR's Joel Rose reported on All Things Considered, the MTA initially rejected the ads, but a U.S. District Court judge ruled barring them would violate AFDI's First Amendment rights.
The ads, which read, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel, Defeat Jihad," went up in the wake of violent protests abroad over the anti-Islam video that denigrates the Prophet Mohammed.
But as Village Voice blogger James King notes, the posters are also hitting the subway "just in time for day one of the meeting of the United Nations' General Assembly — when people from across the world will be in the Big Apple to see how civilized and accepting New Yorkers are."
The full story may be found on NPR.

This product has been discontinued
I loved this product, but when I went back to replace it I was told that the product has been discontinued. If you liked it also, please contact Merle Norman and ask them to reinstate it.
I suffer from undereye puffiness and it is so hard to find a suitable solution. But this eye gel really works! I used it for a while and was amazed to find my eye bags reduced for the first few months I used it. Something in this eye gel makes me tear up when it's first applied though. Also, after a few months I found that this was causing my eye area to become dry and uncomfortable.
This is a bit on the pricey side but a little does go a long way. The packaging is very sturdy and almost luxurious- it's a glass capsule with a gold top. The eye gel itself is a very pretty clear goldish colour but has a bit of a medicine scent.

grrrrr..made my undereye puffiness worse! But felt great going on.:( I'm glad it was just a sample which MN is so generous with.
This is the VERY BEST eye gel I have ever used. I had a sample a while back and really liked it but didn't buy it. Then, this year, my eyes have really been puffy and dark circles this winter, so I went back and got some. Literally, overnight, it made a difference. I used it last night and this morning the skin around my eyes was so clear and pink! Love it! Don't miss out on this!
This is a great eye gel that actually diminishes the appearance of wrinkles! I am very impressed! I have tried sooooooooo many eye creams the past and have never seen results this good! It is worth every penny!
This is a fabulous eye gel that I like to use first thing in the morning to reduce the puffiness & redness that I wake up with, due to allergies. It also acts as a moisturizer & softens fine lines. As a tip: I put this eye gel in the fridge-a great soothing, 'wake-up' treatment in the morning!!

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.

Did I send you this request about Mr. Finley's email account? I can't
recall. In any case, can you fix it for him?
Thanks Jason.
I was thinking it would be good to chat with Stratfor's founder, or a
leading expert, if I can get traction on a story about transnational youth
gangs as tools of the cartels and other groups.
I'll let you know. I need to be able to tie the story directly to
Colorado. Its unclear whether we have a large MS-13 presence in
Colorado, but the federal courts are full of immigration illegal re-entry
cases and drug-smuggling cases involving people from Mexico. Maybe your
experts have some ideas. We'd want to break news about transnational gangs
as well as tell a good tale.
By the way, is there any way I could get the stratfor summaries copied
to my secondary email email@example.com as well as the newsroom address

November is National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. This month began at the turn of the century as a commemorative day set aside to recognize American Indians for the significant contributions they made to the development and growth of our country. In 1976, the President proclaimed the week of October 10-16, 1976, as "Native American Awareness Week." The commemorative weeks changed a number of times over the years, until August 3, 1990, when a Joint Resolution was approved by President Bush designating November as "National American Indian Heritage Month."

text: When you look at the future of the drum & bass scene, especially the section that keeps the dancefloor bouncing, Smooth's name has to be mentioned. Over the last four years, he's moved from strength to strength, aligning himself with Viper Recordings. Futurebound's imprint is the perfect vehicle for Smooth, who has not only racked up remixes of Matrix & Futurebound, Seven Lions, and more, but has dropped some impressive EPs, including 2012′s Blinded By The Light. He's been working his way to a debut album, and with the massively well-received "The Sky's Gonna Break," he's definitely on his way to a banger. Out on September 22 is the single for "The Sky's Gonna Break," which features "Fornax" on the flipside along with this smashing VIP, which plays perfectly on the beautiful piano and Shaz' vocals, but turns up the heat on this unrelenting drum & bass assault. Proper upfront drum & bass business, seen? Preorder right now.

Lichborne: Why I play a death knight {WoW}
Mar 13th 2012 3:25PM I play a Death Knight for the lore. the story is by far, to me, the greatest story line in the game. having played WC3 when wrath launched i got my main to 80, and rolled a DK, and havent looked back since. I felt like there was a purpose while playing the DK. yeah the other classes could say that to, but it felt more real on the DK. Its almost like walking in Arthas' steps to a degree. Also having to pretty much solo him one time (when the raid went south) was about as epic as the game has ever been for me!
Hi, remember me? I've been here since 2004 {WoW}
Mar 9th 2012 1:11PM I can agree with both sides, while its nice to drum up new business and introduce new people or old people to the new game, the people who play feel robbed in a sense. somethine would be nice. i kinda wish itunes did something like that, incentivise you using them. instead up having you download a new version every 3.97 days (plus or minus 3) But i doubt that will happen. I do have alot of great memories in my 5+ years of gameplay though! and thats all that matters! i thnk :p

Overall this moisturizer is very nice. The 4 oz tube is an ideal take-with-you hand cream size, and it has a subtle, attractive, natural-sweet smell, like honey. It's a great scent if you don't like anything artificial or too strong. It absorbs into the skin very well without a greasy afterfeel, making it work very well as a hand cream. My main problem with this was after I bought it at a health food store I felt duped, as the sideline for the cream is "obsessivelynatural", and yet the 3rd ingredient listed is mineral oil!!! What is this? The whole reason for buying a moisturizer at a health store was so I wouldn't be absorbing toxic chemicals through my skin.
Another point is that the cream is recommended for extra dry skin, yet it doesn't seem heavy enough for that kind of job. I've been using it on my feet with socks before going to bed, and it isn't really moisturizing enough, my feet still feel dry after 4 days of this treatment. But for hand cream it is a nice thickness. I just wish they would use a plant based oil, then it would be perfect.
I Love love love love love LOVE this as a daily lotion. It smells divine and keeps my skin so so so so so soft! It even keeps my hands and feet yummy smooth without ever being greasy. I don't use it on my face, but anywhere else is fair game. I buy this stuff in bulk at my local COOP for .45 an ounce. I've never found a lotion i've loved as much as this.

This is a really good moisturizer. Like the shave cream it gets stuck in the pump and it is hard to get you. You can also purchase tubes and it is easier to get the product out. I think it is the honey that makes this product so great.
Less than $10 for a large pump, no itchy skin or cloying smell and %100 biodegradeable...works for me.
I found this at my local Kroger, I had heard good things about the Kiss My Face brand and decided to give it a try. To me, the scent is VERY strong, I think at times this won't be a good thing. But it moisturizes very well and keeps my skin soft, and most of the strong scent fades away with time.
I'm a big fan of this lotion. I used to work in an office where I needed to maintain an impeccable, professional appearance. This pearly lotion makes your hands look beautiful, the scent is sweet but subtle, and best of all, it's very quickly absorbed so you have soft hands but you don't have to walk around with greasy hands. I rubbed a dab of this on every day before I walked into the office and it kept my hands in great shape.
I tried the tester at WholeFoods the other day and it didn't smell like honey. It also was just your average so-so moisturizer. Will not purchase.
I loved the scent of this moisturizer when I put it on and for several hours afterward. Then, after about 6 hours, the scent transformed itself into a nasty one. I had to go shower it off. I don't think it's the lotion itself, just it's interaction with my chemistry. Make work for others.
I really love how this lotion feels on my skin. It is very thick, and always leaves my skin feeling soft and soothed. I love to use it especially on my hands and feet. My husband doesn't care for the smell, but I like it, since I tend to like most sweet food smells. (It smells like honey comb to me.) I only gave it 4 lipsticks since I like the scent, but don't love it so much that I would sit there smelling it. I know KMF has other scents of lotion, but I don't think any of them are as thick as this one.

Hello Everyone, My 1998 SHO would not start this cold morning. There were no interior lights and the car would not turn over at all. After a few attempts, and no luck, I noticed that the key fob would not work, nor the power locks. It was totally dead. I waited a few minutes and tried the key fob to unlock the doors and it worked. I had interior lights. I tried to crank it and as soon as I turned the key to the start position the electrical dropped out again. waited a few more moments and it did the same thing...key fob works]ed, interior lights on, crank and the electrical drops out. I put a charger on the battery and wait a few minutes and it does the same thing. I get my volt meter and check all the voltage. Everything checks out fine. The battery is less than a year old and is kicking out good voltage. I check all the fuses and none are burnt. I get back in and crank it again and she starts up weak. I let it run for a bit and turn it off and the same symptoms occur. I wait a few more minutes and tried to crank it and she starts up fine. I let the SHO warm up to temp and shut it off and start it back up. She starts right up as if nothing happened. I check all the voltage while the car is running and everything tests out fine...the battery, the alternator, the starter all check out fine, and the battery cables look good. I shut it off and on a few more times and she starts rights up every time as if nothing was wrong. Oh I did fail to mention the radio setting did get reset when it started up the first time. I am kind of stumped...is it the neutral safety switch, the crank position sensor, or could it be the cold? Once it was warmed up and up to temp it starts up every time. :braincramp: I would love some insight form anyone who experienced this before with their V8 SHO? Thank you in advance, Loukas Zannopoulos
I would take off the battery cables at the battery terminal and clean all the connections. Also verify the battery is still good. I had this issue a year ago and the guys here on the forum had this solution.
Toledogt has it half right, Mine has done the same thing in the past. It turned out to be the battery cable where it goes into the terminal it looks fine but it's just a tad loose. Recrinp the wire in the terminal. Mine ended up being the positive side but it could happen to eather
Hello SHO folks! Here is a weird one similar in some ways to Lou Z's issue. My 97 on the way home last night dropped dead at speed. Lights out! At 40+ mph on a windy country road. Nutin totally dead not even a clicky clicky.Tow it home and a heads up stoopid tow drivers will pack your exhausts with gravel. Anyway, not seeing anything posted on this yet but here is the weird part. My son and I found that the battery was not quite dead and would hold a charge and the terminals clean etc. We pulled out all the fuses and the fuse box module in the cab even checked the board in it and the wires such as you can, connectors the whole deal and nothing visual. Put it back together and varoooom! Road test restart all good. Waddahell? Only found one" jumpy" fuze but nothing significant. Any ideas? It is a wonderment and as we SHOknow it can't be that easy and will come back when you least expect to expect it. Dead even at that relatively(4 me) low speed can kill ya in the dark. So just a heads up that the bull will do this. UFOs maybe?
