OpinionCuba's slow path to the future Raul Castro's reforms include the right to buy and sell private property, but so far there has been no migratory reform. 11 Jan 2012 18:18 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, Latin America, Cuba, El Salvador About the Author Manuel Barcia Dr Manuel Barcia is Deputy Director at the Institute for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies at the University of Leeds.

The reforms, if limited, still constitute a way of opening up to the private initiative while finding a way around the US embargo that continues to linger over the island's destiny. Fifty-two years after John F Kennedy's administration put the embargo in place, Cuba is still dealing with a world in which US institutions are, for the most part, unreachable. The IMF and the World Bank, for example, are no-go places. Having to depend on short-term loans with high interest rates has transformed the island into an international credit pariah, intensifying the deterioration of Cuba's economy.In recent years, as Cuba has gradually emerged from the Special Period - the economic tribulations that followed the disappearance of the Socialist markets and Soviet subsidies on which Cuba depended - new measures have been taken to steer the ship in the right direction. After Fidel Castro resigned in 2008 and his brother Raul became head of state, the process of economic reform stepped up a gear. With a well-educated, active labour force of almost five million people, most of whom were until recently on the government's books, Raul Castro began to privatise parts of the economy to foster growth. Suddenly Cubans had new possibilities that, although restricted, gave them some respite. First, the new administration allowed all citizens who could afford them to have mobile phones and to buy and sell small private property (houses, vehicles, etc). Then came the proliferation of small businesses, the distribution of unused land among farmers and more recently start-up credits were approved in order to stimulate the creation of even more new businesses. Although the changes have been taking place since 2009, Raul Castro has made it clear that they should not be rushed, invoking national security as the main reason for caution. Only some weeks ago he reiterated this position in his remarks during the most recent opening session of Cuba's parliament. For the majority of Cubans, however, the reforms cannot come soon enough. 2011 reformsLast year, the economy did not perform well, even though there was a renewed effort in turning things around. According to the figures released by the Comision Economica para America Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) Cuba had the second lowest economic growth in Latin America, with 2.5 per cent. Only El Salvador did worse. More worryingly, CEPAL predictions for 2012 are quite negative too, forecasting another year of growth less than three per cent. Many Cubans unhappy with pace of change On the island, Adel Yzquierdo, minister of economy, recently admitted that "some of the major tasks that were to be accomplished as part of the reforms in 2011 were not achieved". Among these were the unsuccessful attempt to substitute food imports with local produce, and the failure to take steps to bring the two-currency system to an end.Of all the new measures adopted by Castro's government, without a doubt, the establishment of credit facilities for new businesses is the one that steals the headlines. Cuban academics and intellectuals have already debated the extent to which this new policy will revolutionise Cuba's economy. Oscar Espinosa Chepe has suggested that this measure could lead to a deep transformation of the country's banking system, while Arturo Lopez-Levy considers it another step in the direction of implementing a mixed-economy with elements of both socialism and capitalism.Another area that could potentially transform the Cuban economy is the much talked about migratory reform. Since August 2011 there have been rumours about the impending end of decades of high migratory fees and the abolition of travelling documents that hinder the free movement of people coming and leaving the island. Disappointingly, for now at least, these rumours remain just that, rumours. That is not to say that progress has not been made. Castro's plan was designed to follow three stages of implementation that will only conclude in 2015. However, this slow pace is also disappointing; for the majority of Cubans, the changes are needed now. The economic situation of the island has hardly improved in recent years and Cubans find themselves struggling to make ends meet month after month. Ever-present excessive regulatory measures have been the chief reason behind the sluggish implementation of these reforms. In order to raise the levels of efficiency and exports the government must limit the impact of well-entrenched bureaucrats and rising levels of corruption. Providing a boost to the efficiency and productivity of the economy is then crucial. Migratory reform is keyAlthough the increase of agricultural production will not solve the food provision problem by itself, higher efficiency levels in the sector should eventually lead to the desired goal of meeting most of the local consumption. Tourism and biotechnology have been touted as possible life-saving sectors. Nevertheless, they both face constant challenges. The prioritisation of the tourist industry, though important, it is not sufficient for stimulating economic growth in a medium-sized economy such as Cuba's. On the other hand, proposals made by local economists suggesting biotechnology as a potential industry which could propel economic growth are perhaps too optimistic. The impact of this sector is limited by diverse factors such as controlled world markets, intellectual property rights, the lack of a solid reputation and the US embargo. Undoubtedly, the ace in Castro's sleeve is migratory reform. Abolish all the existing permissions tomorrow and things will change for good. To start with, the impact of the US embargo will be lessened with immediate effect. Cuban-Americans and Cubans living in the US will not hesitate in boarding airplanes and spending time and money in Cuba, likely investing in Cuba's economy and providing a much needed lift. Here Raul Castro's government has a priceless opportunity to put something right. By reforming Cuba's migratory laws he will offer new generations of Cubans not "a one way ticket" from, but the much needed "return ticket" to Cuba. In turn, free movement of highly skilled labour will bring to Cuba not only investment, but also innovative and entrepreneurial ideas which have proven integral to economic development elsewhere. In contrast to some apocalyptic views that go around among those who oppose each of Castro's measures, I consider that, in spite of the world financial crisis, Cuba's economy has a significant chance of improving on its current condition over the coming years. The creation of regional forums and organisations such as the Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra America (ALBA) and the Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribenos (CELAC), should serve to inject some fresh ideas and cash, and will unquestionably help the island achieve a higher level of regional integration than ever before. They will also constitute an upgrade on the current relations with ideologically similar governments, such as those of Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez. It is in the hands of Raul Castro's government to implement the indispensable changes at a pace that will allow Cuba to climb up those CEPAL tables before long, improving the standards of living for millions of Cubans. More excuses won't lead the country anywhere.

Councilman Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) this week introduced a resolution calling for city public schools to incorporate the history of the gay rights movement into their curriculum with a press conference Tuesday on the steps of City Hall.
Dromm said the curriculum should begin in kindergarten "as part of a natural discussion" that is not about sex, but rather that demonstrates people of different sexual orientations exist, have accomplished great things and deserve the same rights and respect as everyone else.
The openly gay lawmaker also believes lessons should include the social, political and artistic contributions of notable lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals such as Bayard Rustin, Harvey Milk, Stephen Sondheim, Walt Whitman, Truman Capote, James Baldwin and Gertrude Stein. Dromm added that excluding them is "dishonest and inaccurate."
"A biography of the life of Harvey Milk should be on the bookshelves of every school," Dromm said. "We need to teach kids the truth. The LGBT community has contributed to the history of this nation."
Milk was the first openly gay person elected to public office. He was later assassinated.
When Dromm came out of the closet in 1973 at the age of 17, he said, it was very difficult. "Back then it was still considered a mental disorder," he recalled. Dromm credited the support of his mother for helping him cope with the sensitive situation; his father had died some time earlier.
October is LGBT Month and Dromm announced his plan on National Coming Out Day. It is supported by fellow openly gay City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) and others.
"Through education, we can create a greater understanding of our diverse city, and make our schools a safer place for all young people including LGBT youth, many of whom endure endless bullying," Van Bramer said in a prepared statement.
Some 84.6 percent of LGBT students were verbally harassed at school because of their sexual orientation, according to the 2009 National School Climate Survey conducted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, cited by Dromm. The survey also said that 40.1 percent of students were physically abused at school over the last year because of their sexual orientation and 27.2 percent because of which sex one comes across as, Dromm noted.
"Discrimination hurts," he said, "and we have to get rid of it wherever we find it."
The lawmaker said the changing of school history lessons would not cost the Department of Education additional money, because the agency is constantly buying new textbooks that are always being revised as events happen and changes occur.
Dromm, a former public school teacher for 25 years, said history lessons are often taught according to themes, and he believes LGBT history could be explained along with the black civil rights movement and women's suffrage. It would provide both positive role models for LGBT youth and help prevent the perpetuation of homosexual stereotypes, Dromm said.
A spokeswoman for the DOE said schools' curriculum already includes discussions of many of the works by Sondheim, Capote, Whitman and Baldwin. She also noted that two city schools are named after gay pioneers — Rustin and Milk. In addition, she said, the DOE has a Respect for All program that aims to help students embrace the differences in each other.
Annette Bradley, a former early childhood education teacher at York College for 16 years, supports Dromm's proposal, calling it a "healthy" way to integrate the curriculum.
"I think children would benefit from that," Bradley, who is African-American, said Tuesday. "How long can we keep gay people locked away? It's akin to the civil rights movement — if we keep at them at the back of the bus, they're invisible. There are so many horror stories about gay people being attacked."
Many see the gay and black civil rights movements as similar, while others say discrimination against the LGBT community does not compare to the history of slavery and the Jim Crow era. But both Dromm and Bradley agree — it doesn't matter who suffered for a longer period of time or who endured worse atrocities, because as Bradley put it "Suffering is suffering."
City Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) said he supports Dromm's plan if it is done in a way that educators can agree upon, adding "It is better to learn about different things that exist in the world rather than to be surprised by them."

Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Los Angeles Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis was facing one of the hottest relievers in baseball with two outs and the bases loaded in a tie game Wednesday night.
Ellis wound up taking one for the team.He was plunked on the shoulder by Royals reliever Wade Davis, who had not allowed a run since April, and was the go-ahead run in a 5-4 victory over Kansas City."Our guys hung in there," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We got behind. We threw some runs up there. They came back and we kept playing."Jamey Wright (3-2) threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Dan Haren to pick up the win.J.P. Howell and Brandon League worked the bottom of the eighth for the Dodgers, and Brian Wilson handled the ninth in place of closer Kenley Jansen for his first save since April 12, 2012.It wasn't easy. Danny Valencia hit a one-out single and pinch-runner Pedro Ciriaco stole second -- he was initially called out but the call was overturned by replay. But Wilson got Lorenzo Cain to line out to first base, and Ciriaco was doubled off second to end the game."The story is more about the bullpen and the guys scratching out the last run," Haren said. "Today they played great behind me."Davis (5-2) had not allowed a run in 22 1/3 innings spanning his last 20 outings. But after nearly escaping a jam by catching Adrian Gonzalez in a rundown between third base and home for the second out of the eighth, the reliever walked Scott Van Slyke to load the bases.Davis then had a 1-2 count on Ellis before hitting him in the shoulder."That's a tough way to go down right there," Davis said. "I just tried to make a perfect pitch. It just ran away from him a little bit and came up and hit him."Matt Kemp homered and Gonzalez and Yasiel Puig drove in a run apiece for the Dodgers, while Dee Gordon had four hits and his league-leading 40th stolen base.Cain and Jarrod Dyson hit solo shots for the Royals.""They all sting a little, some a little bit worse than others, but they all sting," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "We had more than one chance in the ninth inning to pick up some runs, but we just didn't capitalize on it."Haren gave up two homers among six hits, walked two and was pulled after throwing 92 pitches in 4 1/3 innings. The three-time All-Star had gone at least five innings while allowing four earned runs or fewer in his previous 15 starts with the Dodgers, the longest streak by any pitcher to begin his career with the club in the last 100 years.James Shields wasn't much better, though he lasted a whole lot longer. After breezing through the first, the Royals' ace allowed four runs, seven hits and a walk in seven innings.Shields gave away the 1-0 lead that Cain supplied with his leadoff homer when Kemp went deep in the second. Shields then allowed two more runs in the third on consecutive triples by Gordon and Puig -- Gordon scored on a balk by Shields -- and a groundout by Gonzalez.The Royals got one back in the fourth on Mike Moustakas's RBI single, but Los Angeles restored its cushion in the fifth when Gordon singled, swiped second and scored on Puig's double.Kansas City finally squared things in the bottom half. Dyson led off with a homer, his first in 277 at-bats, and Billy Butler's groundout was enough to score Cain from third.But when the game came down to a battle of bullpens, the Dodgers' proved to be better."Wade is solid all day, every day," Shields said. "We're all human, man. It's going to be tough not to give up runs all year long. He's so strong mentally and is such a bulldog out there."Game notes
The Dodgers selected the contract of 1B Clint Robinson from Triple-A Albuquerque and designated INF Jamie Romak for assignment. ... Mattingly said 3B Juan Uribe (hamstring) could be activated Thursday. ... The Royals have Thursday off. The Dodgers open a series against St. Louis.

Tillman is NFC Defensive Player of Month
November, 1, 2012
Michael C. Wright | ESPNChicago.com
AP Photo/Charles Rex ArbogastCharles Tillman's lock-down play against the Lions' Calvin Johnson was part of a banner month for the Bears corner.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears maintained a two-month sweep of NFC defensive honors Thursday when cornerback Charles Tillman received recognition as NFC Defensive Player of the Month.
The award marked the second consecutive month a Bears player won NFC Defensive Player of the Month. Cornerback Tim Jennings won the award for the month of September.
"He gets better every single year," linebacker Brian Urlacher said. "He's perfect for our defense."
Playing a key role in the team's 4-0 record in October, Tillman intercepted two passes he returned for touchdowns (25-yard INT return at Dallas and 36-yarder at Jacksonville) in addition to limiting Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson to a season-low 34 yards on three catches during the team's Oct. 22 victory over the Lions.
With Tillman leading the way, Chicago's secondary held opponents to an NFL-low passer rating of 61.9, allowing three touchdowns while recording 10 interceptions.
Since last November, Bears players captured three of the last four NFC Defensive Player of the Month awards, with Tillman and Jennings becoming the second duo on the club to win the honor in consecutive months. Defensive end Julius Peppers and linebacker won the award in consecutive months back in 2010.
"No one has a Charles Tillman," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "There's no one out there like him. When you're on a team and you see a guy like that that has a knack for (getting turnovers), others want to do it. And that's where we are. I'm anxious to see what we'll do this next phase of the season to keep that going and see if our defense can do something special with these takeaways."
In addition to the two interceptions returned for TDs, Tillman has forced three fumbles and recovered another so far this season. Since coming into the league in 2003, Tillman ranks among the NFL's top 10 in interceptions (32), INT return yardage (596), INT returns for TDs (7), forced fumbles (32) and pass breakups (115).
"He's done some things in the NFL that no one's done before and that people will try to mimic in years after," said teammate Lance Briggs.
Tillman ranks No. 3 in franchise history in career interceptions (32).

In the summer, my regular drive sits in the driveway. Last week when I did an oil change on it, I found a walnut stashed in a nook under the hood where it would not fall out. I think a squirrel has been there! We have both red and gray squirrels here. I have been warned. Must watch for chewed parts and maybe debris in the air intake. |

Most likely that is what it was. We had mice carry dog food up under the hood and place it on the intake manifold. When I was driving the car the kibbles rolled under the throttle shaft so that the car would not slow down easily. |

The wait for over 10 lakh students from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, including over 59,000 from the city, who wrote the SSLC examination in March-April 2013 will end on Friday.
The results are expected to be announced at 9.15 a.m.
This is the second year that students have written the examination under the Samacheer Kalvi syllabus. Expectations are high as this year was not marred by previous years' confusion over the new syllabus.
Last year, the State recorded a pass percentage of 86.2 under the uniform syllabus.
S. Marylatha, a special teacher, said on Thursday her students, anxious about the results, had been calling her all day. "I have taken down all their registration numbers and dates of birth. Some of the students with hearing-impairment said that they found the language papers tough, but are optimistic," she said.
For the head mistress of a Chennai High School, which sent its first batch of students for the class X Board exams, the excitement and anxiety is hard to hide.
"Not just the students, but the teachers too were preparing a class for the Board exam for the first time. It has been a challenging year for us, as this is our first time too. But, we are expecting great results," she said.
Andrea Rebeiro, who is planning to take group I (physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology) in class XI, says her school and teachers had asked her to treat the Board examination just like just any another, except that the papers would not be corrected by her teachers. "My parents have been very supportive. I am confident about all the papers," she said, adding that she was planning to check the results online.
A press release from the directorate of government examinations said students can apply for retotalling online between June 7 and June 10.

Danger Room
June 2, 2010
Joe Lieberman wants to give the federal government the power to take
over civilian networks' security, if there's an "imminent cyber threat."
It's part of a draft bill, co-sponsored by Senators Lieberman and Susan
Collins, that provides the Department of Homeland Security broad
authority to ensure that "critical infrastructure" stays up and running
in the face of a looming hack attack.
The government's role in protecting private firms. networks is one of
the most contentious topics in information security today. Several bills
are circulating on Capitol Hill on how to keep power and transportation
and financial firms running in the event of a so-called "cybersecurity
Last week, Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn floated the idea of
extending a controversial cybersurveillance program to hacker-proof the
firms. Meanwhile, the military's new Cyber Command is readying itself to
march to these companies' aid.
Lieberman and Collins' solution is one of the more far-reaching
proposals. In the Senators' draft bill, "the President may issue a
declaration of an imminent cyber threat to covered critical
infrastructure." Once such a declaration is made, the director of a DHS
National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications is supposed to
"develop and coordinate emergency measures or actions necessary to
preserve the reliable operation, and mitigate or remediate the
consequences of the potential disruption, of covered critical
"The owner or operator of covered critical infrastructure shall comply
with any emergency measure or action developed by the Director," the
bill adds.
These emergency measures are supposed to remain in place for no more
than 30 days. But they can be extended indefinitely, a month at a time.

A 20-foot tall custom built lighthouse, complete with working lights, was set up in front of Trinity Episcopal Church late afternoon Wednesday, July 12. The lighthouse will serve as a beacon for the first public event of Ben's Lighthouse, a lighthouse festival that will take place at the church on Saturday, June 15.
It would be odd to find trees wrapped in knit scarves anytime of the year, and even more so in the summer. But visitors to the Fairfield Hills property this weekend might be surprised to find the trees there draped with colorful shawls, thanks to the Cosmic Knittas.
Occupation: I am the adult program director at the C.H. Booth Library, as of May 1. That entails finding interesting people who have something to contribute to our community to come in and present. It can be anyone from performers to authors to special speakers. On Sundays, I work at my brother's Good Luck Food Truck at the Elephant's Trunk flea market in New Milford. I'm an artist, too, and before we moved to Newtown I worked for magazines in New York City doing picture research.
The New York Times' Sunday Book Review by Dawn Drazl this past weekend calls Poor Man's Feast: A Love Story of Comfort, Desire, and the Art of Simple Cooking "one of the finest food memoirs of recent years." If that's not enough to send you scurrying to get a copy of the book, maybe knowing that it is penned by Newtown author and award-winning blogger Elissa Altman will do the trick. Elissa's been crisscrossing the country promoting her new book this spring.
Diners seeking a new experience might want to try Dinner Underground. Not quite the secret society it sounds like, the random eating adventures are the brainchild of Newtown chef Kris Plummer, widely known as Chef Plum. Assisted by sous-chef Justin Kern, also a Newtown resident, Chef Plum has brought the pop-up restaurant concept to the community, hosting three Dinner Underground events to date, all at Steve Ford's Butcher's Best on South Main Street in Newtown.
Four men with direct ties to Sandy Hook, including one current and two former residents, drove to Moore, Okla., within days of a fatal EF5 tornado. "We had an immense amount of love pour into our town in December, and it continues to show up," said Peter Baressi, second from right. "We need to not feel helpless. We need to share it," he said, explaining why he and three friends drove 36 hours to deliver two trailers filled with supplies for those affected by the May 20 twister.
When it comes to being a professional writer, Newtown resident Sophfronia Scott has seen it all. From writing articles for Time Magazine and People to publishing a novel and penning non-fiction books on how to get ahead in the world of business, Ms Scott knows what it takes to make it as an author. So much so, in fact, that after her novel All I Need to Get By was published in 2004, she started a business helping people write their own books.
Occupation: I'm a pediatrician with Newtown Center Pediatrics. I started working here in 1999.
Family: My husband, David, is a dentist with Family Dentist here in Newtown. We have four children. Micaela is 16, Johnny is 14, Ben is 12, and Sarah is 10.

@Icy : It's supposed to be Ahri's default skin, and apart from showing her cleavage I doubt it has other uses XD
@JJJorgie : Stretch? Creases? O_o? I just did them quickly without thinking, it's not the final piece, and any help regarding these two things would e lovely indeed. I'll try to put the creases to the right a little. Also her body is at an angle, with the face supposedly straight, which is why they appear to be a bit left. However if (as usual) I've gone over the top, I shall try to rectify. As for the skirt, the reference I have has it like that, lemme grab it for you (The image, not the skirt)
@Iaidoka : I have noticed the hand problem and with my most recent trace tried to thin them down. I'll post it when I've actually finished detail and whatnot.
As for things like the eyes and lips, this was just a test run for many things, they look that bad because the papaer has been worn down so much.
Reference image :
Lol looking at it again I notice that the bottom part of the skirt is longer -.- I'll try and fix that aswell.

Time to repay favors
In the early 1980s, I was chairman of Save Your Vision week for the Arizona Optometric Association. Dr. Art Mollen was my honorary chairman, and the year before was Tex Earnhardt. Eddie Basha volunteered to print up his grocery bags, at no cost to our association., with the picture of the honorary chairman and the date. It was a public reminder, for all citizens of Arizona and their children, to have their eyes examined yearly so they can be at the top of their game. Our association donated eye exams and eye glasses to the less fortunate.
All I remembered about Eddie Basha is you could get a hold of him in person without going through a lot of people. he was approachable, generous and cared about his community. His call was the shortest and quickest acceptance for volunteering his company for the visual welfare of Arizona, and he thanked me for asking him to help. How many people do you know that are this generous today?
I am hoping that the Bashas' reorganization is fast and efficient to get back to serving all Arizonans. Mom-and-pop businesses like Bashas' Supermarkets is what made this country great. I have been here since 1975 and have shopped in Eddie's stores. Eddie's employees love working there, and the branding of Bashas' Supermarkets always stood for quality.
Anyone who knows Eddie Basha personally knows he has a good name and a good reputation as a businessman, citizen and family man. I will continue to support Eddie and buy my groceries at his stores. I grew up back East where if someone did a favor for you, you owed him one back. Eddie just let me know how I can repay the favor he showed to my profession in the 1980s. I honestly feel the cream always rises to the top.
Everybody matters
Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, D-District 5, is at it again. Her job is to help all the people in this county but her only interest seems to be helping Hispanic and Latino Americans. She interferes with our duly elected sheriff. If she won't step down voluntarily, she should be recalled. All races should be represented; reverse discrimination is wrong from whomever it comes from. Don't vote for Wilcox ever again. She does not represent all the people.
More money needed
Rep. Rich Crandall's crusade to improve education ("Arizona behind peers in college readiness," Tribune, Aug. 28) has some good points and some nonstarters. His suggestion to appoint rather than elect the state superintendent of public instruction is an exceptional idea and long overdue. Anyone care to remember the legacies of former "leaders" Carolyn Warner, C. Diane Bishop, and Lisa Graham-Keegan? We need a superintendent that not only will work well with the governor, but one who isn't using the educational post as a stepping stone for a higher office.
However, Crandall doesn't need to convene a summit to improve education in rural Arizona. More money to recruit and retain quality teachers is obviously needed if we're ever going to attract top-notch educators into our schools who can help reduce our dropout rates, increase our test scores, and better prepare students for college-level courses. As long as the Legislature continues to fund Arizona education in a miserly fashion (ranked 49th in the country), we'll continue to talk the talk about improving education in Arizona without walking the walk.
To paraphrase an old song concerning education in Arizona, it can't sing or dance, but money talks. Unfortunately, we really do get what we pay for relative to education in Arizona.

Nick Mangold on Ankle "It's Pretty Numb"
Posted by Erik Manassy on Sep 19, 2011 in Injuries, Main | 0 comments
Nick Mangold injured his ankle in the New York Jets route of the Jacksonville Jaguars. How serious is the injury? Well we won't know how long the Center may be out, but if you are like me, it scares the HELL out of you. In an already depleted offensive line, Rob Turner would have backed up Nick and would have done a great job but he's out with his own injury. Thanks Vlad.
Per Jenny Vrentas - Jets center Nick Mangold will have an MRI tomorrow after leaving today's game against the Jaguars with an ankle injury, coach Rex Ryan confirmed after the game. Mangold "likely" suffered a high ankle sprain, according to a person with knowledge of his injury status. That person requested anonymity because the team has not made any further comments on his injury.
The X-Rays Mangold took at the stadium were negative. Ryan said he is "not sure" how long his starter will be out. Mangold has started every game in his six-year career.
"We got it iced down pretty well, so it's pretty numb," Mangold said. "Thought we could give it a go, but it didn't want to agree with me on that. So now we're just playing it safe."
nickmangold Thanks for all the well wishes. Goal is to get back as soon as possible. Thanks again! 9/18/11 7:50 PM |
DWAZ73 Amazing how significant Robert Turner's injury continues to be in terms of its effect. Much less concern if he's healthy & Mangold can't go. 9/19/11 12:57 AM |

Mall Managers Plan to Take Sycamore Social
IOWA CITY, IA (CBS2/FOX28) -- The department store Von Maur is leaving the Sycamore Mall on July 21 for its new location in the Iowa River Landing in Coralville. The departure leaves Sycamore without its flagship retailer, but mall managers are preempting that with a plan to change the shopping experience there.
Sycamore Mall managers have been studying successful malls across the country and say the trend is to make the experience more social.
"And people are shopping more, because they get to see people," said CRH Management Vice President of Commercial Properties John Arlotti.
And their plan is to bring that model to Sycamore, too, once Von Maur leaves.
"The fact of the matter is they are leaving, so we have to do something. And sometimes, your biggest disappointment can create the biggest opportunity," Arlotti said.
The idea is to take the space that Von Maur leaves behind, and fill it with new retailers -- maybe one, maybe 15. That will all depend on how many interested parties CRH Management can pull down, and Arlotti said they are already in conversation with several stores, though he can't disclose which ones.
Arlotti hopes that by changing the face of Sycamore and making it a social shopping experience -- where folks can shop at specialty stores or sit and enjoy a glass of wine -- people will flock there again. The goal is to make it a different experience from both Coral Ridge Mall and downtown Iowa City.
"I love going downtown and I think it has so many opportunities, great restaurants, that kind of thing, and I think this can do that same thing, but offer something that the downtown doesn't," said Shive-Hattery architect Mark Seabold.
The local architecture firm will be redesigning the mall. There won't be plans drawn up until they secure the retailers that will fill the space, but Seabold said he envisions an external and internal remodel, that might incorporate the outdoors inside.
The shoppers at Sycamore said the renovations is badly needed. They said the neighborhood desperately needs something to reinvigorate it, and business owners are optimistic that this will do just that.
Tim Woolums is a co-owner of Hobby Corner, where they have already started to incorporate some of those social ideas. They opened a game room next to the shop where people can rent games and play them, and they host game-playing events, as well.
Woolums thinks the mall will fill up with other niche stores like his.
"You're going to come here for a certain portion of the place, and then kind of see things you didn't expect to see," he said.

QIAGEN Gains SFDA Approval To Market CareHPV Test In China - Expanding Access To HPV Testing In Low-resource Countries
SHENZEN, China and HILDEN, Germany, November 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Commercial launch of care HPV in China and other emerging markets will enable high-quality screening for prevention of cervical cancer
- "Country of Origin" approval key for dissemination, other countries are able to use this as a basis for registration
- care HPV is the first HPV test designed for areas with limited healthcare infrastructure, complementing QIAGEN's market-leading digene HC2 HPV Test
QIAGEN N.V. (NASDAQ: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced that China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) has approved QIAGEN's careHPV Test and instrument platform. The careHPV Test is the first molecular diagnostic to screen for high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) designed for low-resource clinical settings, such as areas lacking electricity, water or modern laboratory infrastructure. QIAGEN expects to announce the product availability of careHPV in China in January 2013, followed by India later in 2013 and other emerging markets as approvals are received. QIAGEN will introduce the careHPV Test and key data of its performance at the International Papillomavirus (IPV) conference, starting November 30 in Puerto Rico.
QIAGEN is the global market leader in HPV testing with its "gold standard" digene HC2 HPV Test, the most validated and sensitive diagnostic for detection of high-risk HPV - a primary cause of cervical cancer. It is the only assay that has demonstrated its effectiveness in close to 1 million women in clinical, randomized and independent studies. The digene HC2 test, compatible with modern laboratories and automated processing, is widely used in developed countries and large cities in emerging markets, including China. The digene HC2 test has protected more than 100 million women so far and remains QIAGEN's core product for cervical cancer prevention. The careHPV and digene HC2 tests are both based on clinically proven Hybrid Capture technology, and are highly complementary because they serve different laboratory needs.
QIAGEN developed the careHPV Test in collaboration with PATH, an international nonprofit organization, to expand access to HPV screening in low-resource settings. The robust, portable, and easy-to-use careHPV assay, instrument and collection devices are designed for areas with limited infrastructure and can provide results during the patient visit. Many regions with the highest burdens of cervical cancer lack electricity, water or modern laboratory infrastructure. To address the needs in such regions, QIAGEN's careHPV Test includes many innovative design and technology features. For example, the system has color coded, easy to understand menus, contained reagents, and tolerates temperature variations that occur in rural clinics lacking refrigeration for sample storage due to limited electricity or water. Non-medical staff can be trained in hours to use the careHPV system, and the test also has been shown to avoid cross-contamination of samples even in the most stringent settings.
"As the only test of its kind, careHPV offers the life-saving benefits of sensitive molecular diagnostics to resource-poor regions. About 275,000 women a year die from cervical cancer, more than 85 percent in less-developed countries. We have teamed with PATH to create careHPV as part of a preventive strategy that will save many women's lives," said Dr. Helge Lubenow, Senior Vice President, Molecular Diagnostics Business Area. "We are expanding QIAGEN's Prevention portfolio by launching the careHPV system in emerging markets, both through a commercial offering to healthcare providers and through donations to governments and NGOs that are in the process of implementing large scale cervical cancer prevention plans. This new product complements our well-established global leadership with the digene HC2 HPV test and can also be used very synergistically for example to allow national or regional screening programs to cover the infrastructure profiles of all segments within the targeted region." The careHPV Test is manufactured by QIAGEN in Shenzhen, China, making the "country of origin" approval a critical milestone. Many countries are able to use this approval by the SFDA for their own regulatory approval, instead of conducting lengthy and costly local regulatory submissions. The careHPV rollout will target areas in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa. Clinical studies with the careHPV Test have been conducted in China, Nigeria, Rwanda and Thailand in parallel with PATH demonstration trials in China, India, Uganda and Nicaragua. The data demonstrate the high sensitivity and reliability of the careHPV Test in low-resource settings. The careHPV Test already plays a central role in QIAGEN cares, the company's collaboration with NGOs and governments to expand access to high-quality cervical cancer screening in resource-poor regions. QIAGEN is committed to donating 1.5 million HPV tests to improve life in the world's poorest nations. For example, QIAGEN has partnered with vaccine manufacturer Merck & Co., Inc., to design and implement comprehensive public programs to fight cervical cancer in poor countries, starting in Rwanda. The programs have taken many forms: QIAGEN cares has helped clinicians in Brazil install the careHPV device on mobile units to conduct cervical cancer screening in remote areas. El Salvador's government, working with the nonprofit group Basic Health International, is evaluating the integration of careHPV into a national screening program together with screening solutions based on the digene HC2 test which would be used in cities. Projects in South Africa and Burkina Faso have also used careHPV. To learn more about QIAGEN cares please visit: http://www.qiagen.com/about/whoweare/qiagencares/qiagencares.aspx.

text: The practise of turning toward the east in prayer, a pagan custom adopted by the early Christians who attached to it a new significance, for the East was man's original home, in the East Christ lived on earth, and from the East He will come to judge mankind. Accordingly, they built their churches in "high and open places, facing the light," and buried their dead with feet toward the East. The Apostolic Constitutions directed that churches be erected with the head or apse towards the East, and the custom was universally observed from the 8th century onward, though under Constantine the opposite system was temporarily adopted, as in the basilicas of Saint Peter, Saint John Lateran, and San Lorenzo. Strict adherence to the custom was later made impracticable by the directions of city streets, although there is a Catholic church in Belfast, Ireland, twice as broad as it is long, to conform to the custom.New Catholic Dictionary
