Keith Ridgway: The Long Falling
James Lawless
The novel opens in a mimesis of Joyce's, The Dead (the litany of snow falling all over Ireland) but this time it's rain that is falling on Cavan ad Monaghan and on lakes and roads... but there is nothing imitative in the description of the gravestones at Cootehill sticking into the soil 'like blunt knives'. The atmosphere is set; the sense of dread that permeates the book established, despite its early revelations (like a lot of literary novels) of the plot in advance, which leads of course to the inevitable working back, the teasing out, the use of memory as elaboration and clarification in the minds of the two main characters. Grace Quinn is English, middleaged, living on a farm in Monaghan with a brutal husband who blames her for the accidental death of their first son Sean. The husband's drinking causes him to kill a little girl while driving. He gets away lightly with six months imprisonment. When he is released he takes his frustrations out physically on his wife. The other son, Martin, nineteen, tells his parents one evening that he is homosexual. The father assaults him. Martin leaves for Dublin. After receiving a brutal beating (Ridgway spares nothing in the graphics department here), Grace winds up killing her husband by crashing the car into him on the road where he is supposedly praying (is there an unwitting homage to Hamlet here: killing someone at their orisons, and consequently sending their soul to heaven?) at the same spot where he had killed the young girl. Grace escapes to Dublin and locates her son. At first Martin makes her welcome, but when his lover Henry comes home from Paris he finds her presence intrusive. And when she tells Martin that she killed his father, Martin turns against her. This could be problematic for some readers: the mother/son relationship had been built up by the author with reveries of Martin's childhood with his mother, their loving walks together, the snatched moments of happiness from the tyrannical father. It is difficult it accept that he could turn away from her so suddenly. Also, the narrative changes focus frequently with different character chapters putting a strain on the reader. We are left to wonder who is the central charter, and even secondary characters are given entire chapters to themselves which weakens the narrative thrust. We also lose some sympathy for Martin in his moaning about Dublin beggars; the sense of foreboding is lost (he would have got them off his back if he had simply given them something, which is what his mother did).
The geography of Dublin and its streets are captured very well even if there is perhaps a little too much striving for effect with the many references to the 'grey rain.' And although Ridgway writes with a searing honesty about gay life in Dublin, he never explores the mother's attitude towards her son's gayness; it's something that's just accepted without words; she even goes to the gay bar with her son and his friends with whom she seems to become familiar all too quickly, as if he'd known them all her life, despite the age and cultural difference. Also the X case motif which runs through the novel (with references to it on the news on radio and televisions) about a raped girl seeking the right to travel for an abortion, doesn't quite work; it belongs to a different story. There are characters waiting at the wings that need development instead of having the author distracting the reader with the X case: Philip, who seems to become Grace's bosom buddy almost over night, is a cardboard cutout: a handsome goody two shoes. What motivates him to come to the assistance of a middleaged woman, a mere acquaintance? We are not told. And Sean, another of Martin's friends, the investigative journalist, working on the X case, recording a confession from Grace, thinking he's on to a big scoop, then tearing up the tape and disappearing from the scene. What was he supposed to represent? Some sort of secondary guilt in causing Grace to leave his flat in disarray? All the worrying of these characters for Grace does not convince – they don't know her well enough to have such empathy. The problem is that there are too many characters. Philip disappears from a huge chunk of the novel only to reappear in cameo towards the end. We could have learned more about Detective Brady. Why is he sympathetic to Grace? Apart from being from Grace's home place, what does he know about the father and the family background? There are hints but elaboration here could have added more poignancy to the story. Instead he's just a shade like most of the others. And Henry – all the expectation built up about him with phone calls – can one say one really knows him?
In fairness, the tension is effectively built up in atmosphere and action. Detective Brady, who has sent the Quinn car to Forensics, has followed Grace to Dublin. She caught a glimpse of him in the gay bar but wasn't sure; he looked like her dead husband. Leaving Sean's house after her confession she wanders disorientated in the city. Sean tells Martin that his mother killed his farther. There then follow flashbacks with the two main characters going over those dramatic moments that we already know about; this works well enough. We learn that Grace confessed to Sean because she couldn't face Martin directly; she knew Sean would tell Martin, but after her city wandering she returns to Martin's flat and confesses herself to Martin. So why bother having her tell Sean in the first place? Unless perhaps to illustrate the disorientation in her mind, just as she confessed later to the landlady Mrs Talbot in whose house she winds up. We are lost a bit in Martin now as he breaks down in tears and asks her why she killed his father. She says she had no choice but Martin doesn't buy this and it is hard to accept Martin here who had been defending his mother against the father as both of them suffered brutal assaults at his hands. Could he not understand her motive? And when the police call to Martin's flat he says straight out to them without their even having to probe, that his mother killed his father.
There seems to be a great hurry to confess crimes as Mrs. Talbot listens to the details from Grace's mouth. (Would the pathos have been greater if Grace had to bear these secrets alone?). And even this Mrs Talbot, are we convinced that she could be such a willing accomplice to a murderer? And then we're subjected to all the details about Mrs. Talbot, about her sister and her accident, and her late husband, what befell her family, and we know this is authorial wandering, taking our attention away form the main thrust of the story, just as the X case itself has done in it's striving for a cleverness which doesn't come off (even the ambiguity in the 'let her go, let her go,' chant of the placard bearers to allow the rape victim to go to England detracts from the murder case in Cootehill which comes only as a secondary news item). There should be more delving into Grace and into Martin, particularly into his sudden turn around in his attitude towards his mother. She would do anything for her son: if giving herself up would bring his love back, she would do that, but she would not wail for her dead husband. But the realisation, despite the distraction of the X case or Mrs Talbot's wandering talk, does eventually dawn on Grace as the police close in on her, that the killing of her husband did not free her (is that perhaps what Martin was implying by his hostility towards her?) but rather tied her to him 'more than I ever was. I wanted to spit him out and swallowed him instead'
This story, despite its flaws, is moving in its portrayal of a mother and her son.

We're just moving one floor down, and am wondering if we need to still submit notification. .
Yes, submit an AR-11. You can do it online www.uscis.gov
Will your mail find its way "one floor down"? What if you get an important notice from the immigration services?
The statutes specify that aliens must notify the government of permanent changes of address. Failing to comply with this requirement is a basis for deportation from the US. If the government wants an alien out of the US, the government will throw this charge in with all the other charges.
Most persons can file the AR-11 online for free at www.uscis.gov . Filing the form takes less than five minutes if you have the information ready. Why would you want to give the government a reason to deport you?

If Iran is stupid enough to post a comment like that, than so be it. Even though I believe we have to handle our problems through diplomacy and not violent war, doesn't mean that that comment didn't make my blood boil. Maybe that was the intention is all I'm saying.

So was the drone for surveilance

A net
dropped from a helicopter or fired from some type of gun would capture that small one easily enough. It doesn't appear to fly very fast.
The first one was displayed in such a way that completely concealed the bottom. It seems likely that some failure caused it to spiral in, like a leaf, destroying the bottom.
I would think that the US Government is sending all manner of drones into Iranian territory, based on their stated positions and past actions.
These two drones may be evidence of that, or elaborate models, in Iran's own propaganda war.

The last drone Iran captured
The last drone Iran captured was by somehow feeding the drone inaccurate GPS data which caused it to land in Iran.
Maybe the same happened with this one.

Well, sorry but that doesn't sound very likely

Jew know, we will hafta make funny film for drone camera too. Eet will be so funny! Now, where did we put does encrypty tings to make de Drone be fooled?"
I dunno man...I think its a bit more complicated than your explanation.

I think the claim is that
I think the claim is that Iran jammed the drone's signal, pushing it into autopilot mode. Then they spoofed the GPS signal, causing the autopiloted drone to mistakenly land in Iran.

Should Have Never Opened it! (Pandora)
People have stolen vehicles in my neighborhood in broad daylight through remote hacking what makes a drone any different. Now i'm not saying that Iran or US are lying what I am saying is i've seen it done to a motor vehicle. That's what happens when you cross quote "the invisible lines of warfare" you open Pandora's box. Now you have all these random countries now deploying drones, hacking into sovereign states databases, etc. America if it does not stop now it will be establishing a new low in global sovereign state respect, conduct and conflict resolution. Now Iran is talking about sending drones to Palestine, you have countries arming their drones with all types of weaponry, you have more countries secretly doing nuclear research, etc. Their actions are pushing individuals into fields of knowledge that weren't thought to be useful or necessary. With every action there is a reaction. Now you have everyday citizens and you middle school children feeling the need to use proxies, spoofing their IP, transferring over to GNU Linux operating systems, rooting phones, modding video game systems, learning cryptography, using TOR, cracking software, data mining, cracking wifi networks, etc. these are things that the everyday person do not necessarily need to be doing but they are being pushed in that direction. Weather you think it legal or not everyaction we take as individuals has a ripple effect and just becuase you feel your winning today does not mean next week you wont be on the receving end of it. Dont enithat force against others Now the American government is pushing its quote enemies in that direction and I don't see anything good coming out of it for the people of the world. People will look back and say I think we mad a mistake when you have random tribal warlords using drones in public squares to kill their enemies. Drug Lords in Mexico are now using drones and other surveillance equipment to spy on Mexican citizens due to America using these technologies on them.
Drone Wars coming to a doorstep near you!

Well yeah...
I guess that since all comes from the minds of men in the process of a seemed accelerated state of consciousness evolution, it would stand that the same process would remain to undo what gets done in the spirit of control. Man strives to be free of control..when he is aware that it is negatively impacting him rather than providing some esoteric degree of protection.
But truly, how in the hell are they picking our drones out of the sky fully intact? I'm now wondering more about this Keshe guy and what he has imparted to the Iranians. And given the reanimation of Tesla's work lately, maybe someday soon we'll slice through the energy tarp that has been thrown over us...that which enables all of this nastiness.

it's all way beyond me. But you'd think that secure military level encryption schemes might place some barriers to such things going on...ya know?

Your right that's what RSA is
Your right that's what RSA is but their SecureID token devices have already been compromised once. Nothing is quote "secure" online. Just like no one is safe in real life. Yes you can pay for security guards, hire police, install a security system but all that is is a deterrent. The same thing applys online the more deterrents you can place in some ones way it more likely that they wont even try but if they actually take the time and have the resources they can still get access. Like I said about phones every month cell phone providers provide an update that comes with new features but the update also comes with more security to prevent people hacking or rooting the phone to gain access to features on the phone that you would have to pay for like turning you mobile phone into a wifi device for FREE so you can save money instead of having web-service at your place of residence, motor vehicle, laptop, and mobile phone. So every month they add more security and some one cracks it and post it online so other can easily gain access to these features on their phone. The next update they patch that vulnerability and a few hours or maybe a week later someone cracks it again and publishes it online so others can do the same thing. This is done with computer software, video games, GPS services, TV, operating systems, etc.
You have to understand programing languages are public and any little kid if he has the interest and curiosity can go online and become a self taught programmer. You don't have to go through traditional schooling and be indoctrinated once you acquire the skills you can build, disassemble or do anything because everything is CODE. That why the web is constantly evolving because there is no thought police you have creative control. This is why people online are so up an arms about the government and corporations trying to quote "take over the internet" because they will lose that freedom and liberty. People find freedom online because in the real world there are regulations, trade associations, unions, government certifications, bosses but online your FREE. Learn a language on your own time (24hrs to a week tops to get the basics) there aren't any requirements, age restrictions, no money or inside connections are needed, no one person or group having the power to keep you out because of your sex, race or personal life style or appearance and this is the problem for the powers. You as an individual can now usurp the powers and you as an individual can now evade the powers. This is why brick and mortar retail outlets are now petitioning the government to put taxes on the internet because they can not compete. They have to follow all of these man made regulations, laws and have to take on the cost of complying while some underage 13yr old kid who learned a programming language in his moms basement can sell the same sneakers and apparel at half the price and doesn't have to abide by the same man made laws and regulations. That's why it is so important to protect the internet because it is the definition of individual FREEDOM and it allows freedom loving people from all across the globe to communicate with each other regardless of man made borders regardless of race, sex, your socioeconomic background or personal lifestyle choses.

The second article, which ran a week later under the headline, "Are sunspots prime suspects in global warming?" examines one alternative hypothesis in detail. The sun's natural cycles, including its spots, which are associated with greater radiation and thus warming, are a cause célèbre among skeptics. While this is a theory that most scientists reject, in the Monitor article, reporter Peter N. Spotts (yes, that's right) points out that, "some pesky correlations - such as the one between sunspot cycles and cloud cover - linger." Spotts, who has written about skeptics before, is careful with the science, however, and delivers the interpretation that was missing in the series' first installment: "No one doubts that the sun drives the Earth's climate," he writes up high in the piece. "The vast bulk of research, however, points to greenhouse gases."
The third and most recent entry, published last Thursday under the headline, "Is the research too political?" explores the most pertinent question of the series thus far: in drafting its reports, does the IPCC suppress dissent? Few people, journalists included, understand even the basic structure of the IPCC, leading to confusion about whether it is a scientific or political organization, let alone finer mechanical points about how it reconciles rival opinions. In the Monitor, reporter Moises Velasquez-Manoff, chooses good sources - John Christy and S. Fred Singer on the skeptics' side, and Gavin Schmidt and Kevin Trenberth on the believers' side - to flesh out possible bias at the IPCC. Their comments are insightful and well-balanced, even if the article is not entirely conclusive about the degree to which politically-driven muffling in a problem. At the very least, the Monitor deserves credit for broaching this subject: the internal mechanics of the IPCC are woefully under-reported by the press.
At the end of each of the articles, the Monitor's editors solicit reader feedback with the question: "Do you think climate change skeptics are raising persuasive points or ignoring strong scientific evidence?" The paper has received close to 150 letters since the series began, and has printed two batches so far. The responses can be broken down into three basic types, according to Lamb.
"The majority is saying, 'Thank you for representing my views,'" he told me. "Then there are people who aren't necessarily skeptics saying, 'We appreciate your sense of balance. We want to know when our friends ask us about things like sunspots.' And then there have been several letters from people who are upset with us, saying that the debate is long over and that the Monitor is wasting its resources when it needs to be moving on to solutions."
The paper will publish a fourth installment of the skeptics series this Thursday, and a fifth one next week. At that point, Lamb said, "We'll stop and reassess." I asked him if such a project could mislead readers by indulging their misconceptions about science rather than educating them? And when it comes to asking readers if they think certain theories are persuasive, is it not the journalist's responsibility provide such answers?
"That's certainly a concern," Lamb replied. "But in the end, this series is a relatively small piece in the large mosaic of our total coverage. So in that light hopefully we're not distorting the debate." He pointed to some of the Monitor's other climate work, such as its coverage of the IPCC reports and a large multimedia series on adaptation and mitigation called "Surviving in a Warmer World", which show that the paper's reporting is firmly in line with scientific consensus.
Indeed, the Monitor will soon redesign its online global warming page to put more emphasis on what readers can to do mitigate climate change. "Even people who are very skeptical of global warming like to think of themselves as environmentalists and green," said Lamb, who spends a couple of hours a week poring over readers' e-mails and trying to assess their viewpoints. "I think they feel a general sense of stewardship of the environment that still applies to them despite their disagreement on the one issue."

About Chris: Chris is the married father of two pre schoolers. His eldest child was a six-week-old infant when Chris entered the operating room. His youngest child was born two years after his surgery. Chris shares his suggestions for preparing for surgery as follows:
"Prior to my surgery I hired a professional trainer at local gym, to guide me through a personal fitness program. My program included working out four days per week.
As a former high school athlete, I appreciated having a trainer to guide and, when necessary, push me! Many of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei patients wait several weeks, or months, for surgery, therefore, we have time to get into shape! The cost of hiring a personal trainer cost me approximately $1,000 per month. I regretted not asking my surgeon for a prescription for pre-op exercise, as it is possible my health insurance plan would have covered the training, perhaps even if I needed to file an appeal.
Due to the training program, by the time I had surgery, I was in my best shape in ten years! Friends noticed and remarked about how "buffed" I looked! I participated in this fitness plan while receiving systemic chemotherapy. Some weeks, due to the effects of chemotherapy,I delayed my training regimen.
Many of us tend to forget the psychological and emotional benefits of working out! I recently read an article including a longitudinal study that tracked the lives of Harvard graduates. The article noted regular exercise is important for physical health and a long happy life, and serves as a coping mechanism important for maintaining mental health. I can attest the workouts helped remove stress. I remember many days when pumping iron was a metaphor for "beating up" my cancer!
Without insurance coverage, personal fitness training is costly. However, my wife and I had saved money for "rainy days." When I was diagnosed with cancer, we agreed that the rain had arrived! Spending money on a gym membership, or a trainer, prior to surgery, is worth the investment!"

A ONE-OFF treatment for diabetes is a step closer thanks to a better understanding of how human liver cells can be transformed into something like the beta cells that produce insulin in a healthy pancreas.
The new insights have allowed Sarah Ferber of the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, Israel, and colleagues to implant these cells into diabetic monkeys. The ultimate plan is to take liver cells from people with diabetes, reprogram the cells and reinject them. Because they are the patient's own, the cells should escape rejection by the immune system, sparing the individual a lifetime of daily insulin injections. "Potentially, patients can be donors of their own therapeutic tissue," says Ferber.
In 2000, her team discovered that the Pdx-1 gene is crucial for the creation of the pancreas in the embryo. They went on to infect adult human liver cells with a harmless virus engineered to carry Pdx-1. The virus didn't insert the gene into the cells' DNA, but the liver cells produced Pdx-1 protein, enabling diabetic mice to manufacture insulin after injections of the altered cells.
Now the team has found out more about how Pdx-1 operates, which should eventually help them design a human treatment. By repeating the experiment and analysing the changes in gene expression as liver cells are transformed, the team showed that the gene deactivates a range of genes relevant to the cell's function in the liver, as well as activating unexpressed genes vital for beta cell function. A knowledge of this dual ability, which probably arises from the role Pdx-1 plays in the embryo, where pancreas and liver tissue develop from the same family of cells, will be important in predicting how the cells might act if they are implanted into people. Ferber is presenting the work on 9 July at an International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) meeting in Barcelona, Spain.
She also reports that the technique works best in liver cells that are in the process of multiplying. During cell division, chromosomes are exposed, which might make it easier for the Pdx-1 protein to alter their gene expression. Ferber has identified liver regions where dividing cells are more common, which should make reprogramming liver cells more efficient. The transformed cells do not seem to provoke the immune system.
Ferber's team is also looking for the best place for a transplant. Leading candidates, she says, are the liver and the omentum, the sac lining the abdomen.
Jonathan Slack of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, who has previously used Pdx-1 to turn frog liver tissue into beta cells, doubts whether Ferber's liver cells are completely changed into beta cells. "Rather, it may be the induction of some beta cell genes in liver cells," he suggests. But he points out that this could still have therapeutic value.
Last year, Doug Melton of Harvard University and colleagues reported that they had transformed a different type of specialist pancreatic cell into beta cells. Ferber says liver cells may be more practical because they are more abundant, easier to replace and more accessible.
Meanwhile, Harry Heimberg of the Vrije University of Brussels in Belgium reports at the ISSCR meeting that he is close to identifying elusive pancreatic stem cells in adult mice. If the same cells exist in humans, they might be activated to regenerate beta cells.

Talking Pictures 1.2 Review
Create pictures with interactive cues and share with friends or colleagues.
The iPhone is a perfect device for integrating audio and images into a single interface. While this usually means creating videos, it doesn't have to. There are dozens of ways to use the technology in new and creative ways. Case in point: Talking Pictures. This app allows you to tag a photo with different audio tracks that can be activated by other users with the same app -- a potentially innovative way to share information.
When you open the app, you can choose to view your gallery (which will be empty) or create a new talking picture. Choose the latter and you can either take a new photo or choose one from your photo library. Once you choose a photo, draw shapes on the photo to outline items or people and then double tap the areas that you create. For each area, you can record an audio note. When someone opens that talking picture, they can tap the same area and the audio track will play. The uses, such as sending personal messages to family members, sharing business strategies, or simply having fun with friends, are numerous.
The free app is really just a demo of the technology as it only allows you to create three talking pictures before a paid upgrade is required, which will cost you $0.99. If you do choose to upgrade, however, you can record in high- quality, create as many talking pictures as you desire, and share via Twitter or Facebook. While users will need the app to view your talking photos, there is no limit to the number you can view and listen to with the free version. This is a unique tool with a smart interface. The limited feature set can prove a steep barrier to entry for some, but many people will find a clever way to use this tool in their lives.

Xavier women snap Loyola's 16-game win streak February 28, 2008 Box Score NEW ORLEANS — Erica Turnbull scored 11 points Thursday, including her team's final five, to help NAIA No. 24 Xavier University of Louisiana hold on for a 67-64 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory over No. 15 Loyola at The Barn. The Gold Nuggets (23-6 overall, 13-4 GCAC) ended Loyola's 16-game winning streak and snapped the Wolfpack's 33-game winning streak against conference opponents. Loyola's GCAC streak started after a 75-70 overtime loss at Xavier on Jan. 13, 2007. LaTashia Wise scored 11 points and Shayla Boyd 10 for Xavier, which extended its home winning streak to 17 games, 15 this season. The Nuggets have won 65 of their past 67 games at The Barn and 41 of their past 42 GCAC games in their campus gym. Twins Trenese and Trenell Smith combined for 42 points for Loyola (23-5, 16-1). Trenese Smith scored 26 points, and Trenell had 16. Christine Mainguy had 14 points and 14 rebounds. Xavier trailed 8-2 before Turnbull and Wise combined for nine points in a 16-2 run which put the Nuggets ahead to stay. Xavier led 38-28 at halftime and 66-55 after Turnbull made two free throws with 3:44 remaining. Loyola cut the margin to 66-64 with 36 seconds remaining when Trenese Smith made the first of two free throws. The teams traded turnovers, then Turnbull made the second of two free throws with three seconds remaining. Loyola was unable to attempt a shot on its final possession. The Nuggets, a 71-51 loser at Loyola on Jan. 31, outshot the Wolfpack 44 to 33 percent from the floor. Contributing greatly to that statistic was Xavier's bench, which was a combined 12-of-19 (63.2 percent). Xavier's next game will start at 5 p.m. Saturday at New Orleans Arena against Dillard in the Crosstown Classic presented by Siemens.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis.

Quabbin Visitor Center, 485 Ware Road (Rte. 9) Belchertown, MA 01007 -- 413-323-7221
Quabbin Reservoir is one of the largest man-made public water supplies in the United States. Created in the 1930s by the construction of two huge earthen dams, the reservoir is fed by the three branches of the Swift River, and seasonally by the Ware River. Quabbin's water covers 39 square miles, is 18 miles long and has 181 miles of shoreline. When full, Quabbin holds 412 billion gallons of water.
The New Salem and Enfield lookouts offer magnificent views of the reservoir. In order to flood the vast area of the Swift River Valley in the 1930s, the entire population of four towns had to be relocated. Hundreds of homes, businesses, a state highway, a railroad line, and 34 cemeteries were also moved or dismantled. Over 6,000 graves were relocated from the Valley to Quabbin Park cemetery.

Antique Queen
A few hours after the altogether baffling attack on the Dark Swan, the four who had fallen to the deadly fumes were safely tucked away into series of hospital beds at the opposite end of the Guildhall Ward. Paired two by two, the twins had of course been placed in a room together. They were a matching pair, after all, and none would think to separate them. That left Tres and Lovi to a room split in two by a large white curtain. As though the other half of the space were a window into a grim truth that neither of them wanted to see. Not that any of the patients 'could' see, as they were all presently unconscious.
Or they were.
Lovi opened her eyes slowly, the distilled scent of the place reaching into her mind and pulling forth memories that left terrible dreams in their wake. She was confused, as one might have expected. Looking back on the event that put her there was like trying to remember a fleeting dream. It didn't seem real at first. But then, what did in such a place as Sigil? She recognized the feel of hospital gowns and sheets. She wondered if she had been injured, but there was no blast from whatever bomb that b*****d KB had planted. She did feel sick, though. Very sick.
Charisma sat in a chair not far off. Lovi could hear her breathe, the room was so quiet.
"Charisma?" she sounded tired, but not as weak as she might have expected, "What happened? How long was I out?" And why did she feel like such a colossal pile of s**t?

Strong Legs, Strong Back
It's true that strengthening your abdominal muscles can help prevent lower back pain. What's not as commonly known is the connection between lower back pain and the hamstrings (the muscles in the back of your thighs).
Tight, inflexible hamstrings are often at the root of low back pain. The good news: simply stretching those muscles regularly -- using yoga, pilates, or basic stretches -- can go far in keeping them supple and keeping back pain at bay.
The cardinal rules of stretching apply. Stretch muscles when they are warm, after warm-up activity or a workout. Stretch as far as you comfortably can. Hold each stretch for 20-30 seconds, and repeat 2 or 3 times.

The KLPW Radio Athlete of the Week is Washington Sophomore Guard Kyra Hardesty. Kyra scored 59 points in a game against Pacific leading the Lady Jays to an 85-80 overtime win over the Lady Indians. She shot 61% from the floor, hit 20-of-33 field goal attempts, seven of 11 beyond the arc and 12-of-15 free throws. For the season, Kyra is averaging 21.4 points, three rebounds, 3.72 assists and 2.24 steals per game.
The balance of power in Congress may have changed hands, but the game of "budget chicken" is on again--albeit on a smaller scale.
Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright is feeling good after a Monday bullpen session. The 33-year-old threw 30-to-40 pitches without incident. Wainwright flew back to St. Louis last week to have an abdominal strain checked out. It will be two to three weeks before he pitches in a game.

Scientists living under an oppressive regime decide to clinically study the founders and supporters of evil regimes to determine what common factor is at play in the rise and propagation of man's inhumanity to man.
A Hypo: An Intentional & Complex Set Up/Ploy by BBC/PTB
Very Likely BBC Intentionally named Innocent Person to victim.
I know nada about UK politics, but I've learned a lot on how the MSM/Govt. disinformation campaigns work.
Here's a hypothetical (and is of the nature of such disinformation campaigns)... The Victim WAS intentionally shown the right picture of guilty party, X, while ALSO purposely being told that name of X in the picture was "Mr. McAlpine, who's on the PTB Sh*t/Sacrifice List for who knows what reason. He's a pawn and maybe he's a former PTB or PTB wannabe.)
During the times before the report, although BBC employees were aware of this egregious bit of mis/non-identification -(indeed, how could they NOT be?) - no one goes out of their way to double check this fact with the victim because making waves ain't a wise career move. (Analogous example: BBC reporter on 9/11 obligingly reading script saying WTC7 had collapsed [No-Plane-Strike, though] and while it STILL STOOD in video background and didn't get imploded/dustified/destroyed until 28 minutes later.)
Thus, here, those halfway aware of what's up can see what's going on and no one wants to be the person wising up the victim to the fact that he's being RE-victimized and made to look like a fool, so they all bury heads in sand and by INaction protect their jobs and also protect whoever is/are the GUILTY but are Card-carrying and active members of the PTB and thus are NOT on the PTB Sh*t List.
So now it's so convoluted, BBC will say, "Well, we can't trust this victim," when they likely helped to set him up. Meanwhile, the victim's credibility has now been thoroughly watered down in the Sheeple-public's eye to the point that they'll now also buy whatever "confusion" reasons the BBC now gives out in refusing to name any more names (of the guilty), and the PTB's BBC/MSM says, "We can't trust victim any more., and we'd hate to misname another innocent like McAlpine." Thus BBC/MSM doesn't ever give name of who they know to be the real perpetrator(s) claiming fear of litigation, as per plan.
Thus, PTB Sh*t Listed/Sacrificed guy (McAlpine) get the Scarlet letter, the child victim is discredited and re-victimized, and the guilty parties walk off unnamed, a la Franklin scandal.
It's just a hypo, but always ask, "Cui Bono." Who benefits from what looks upon a quick glance like an intentionally staged error?
P.s., Note the release date of the story. Such stories are released on:
(a) Fridays or to lesser extent, Thursdays, so they become old news by Monday, when sheeple have gone back to "paying attention" in their limited way.
(b) Such stories are released just before an event the PTB knows will soon occur which will bury the entire issue. Best example is 9/10/2001 report by Rumsfeld, et al, before Congress. . . we "lost 2.3 TRILLION dollars." (Greater than the entire US Military budget for X number of years...) but instead of that story, we got. . . 9/11/2001.
If such is the case here, let us hope that it falls under (a) and not (b) above.
Clarification re Release dates of Such stories.
Story here is dated Saturday, which day also falls in that "best time to release news you hope to hide" time frame and where public is paying relatively less attention - as if that's possible.
The discussions in the article show a lot of Friday "developments..."
If my hypo is correct, the BBC's & Guardian's respective 'development events' and 'release dates' were likely coordinated and orchestrated.
I agree. This stinks to high heaven and clearly helps to protect 'high level' pedophile networks. The BBC, or elements within it, appear to be working to protect the suspected pedophiles among the "political elite" i.e. politicians, judges, police officers, and corporate big wigs. This is not surprising since Blair's spin doctor and psychopath in chief, Alistair Campbell, oversaw the overhaul of the BBC after the David Kelly affair. Since then, the BBC has been a 100% dyed in the wool British government mouth-piece.
Two weeks ago, BBC director general, George Entwistle, was questioned by the House of Commons Select Comittee about why Newsnight panned a scheduled program on why a police investigation into Jimmy Saville was so poorly handled by the police.
Entwistle claimed that he knew little about the program because, when a producer told him that they were making a program that involved an investigation into Saville, Entwistle simply wasn't interested in knowing what it was about! This is despite the fact that he was told that the investigation, if aired, would naturally require that the two programs celebrating Saville's life that were already made and scheduled for airing over the Christmas period, be cancelled.
Clearly Entwistle was lying, and the truth is that, since the BBC had two programs in the pipeline that 'celebrated' Saville's life, they decided to opt for the positive spin and, simultaneously, sideline any investigation into Saville and his pedophile connections, most likely connections in "high places".
Then a few nights ago, Entwistle oversaw the discrediting of any investigations in high level pedophile networks by airing a Newsnight program that falsely accused a former politician of pedophilia. This is a boon for the child abusers. This program, and the way the investigation was handled, will make it very difficult for TV producers to credibly make programs about high level pedophile networks.

Discovered in 1966 in western Costa Rica's Monteverde Cloud Forest, this emblematic species is often considered the poster child for the amphibian extinction crisis. For years, scientists observed hundreds of toads breeding in temporary pools at the start of the rainy season. In the late 1980s, however, the species began to decline rapidly; the last individual, a solitary male, was seen in May 1989.
The species is now presumed to be extinct. The populations of most other amphibian species in Monteverde have also collapsed, a development thought to be linked to climate change and disease.
Status: last seen in 1989 – listed as Extinct on IUCN Red List

Branstad fires DAS Director Mike Carroll
UPDATED 6:22 PM CDT Apr 08, 2014Gov. Terry Branstad announced Tuesday that he terminated the Department of Administrative Services Director Mike Carroll.
Video TranscriptGovernor Branstad denied secret payments were made to state employees to keep them silent. Why newly release e-mails, obtained by KCCI, may contradict the governor's claim. And cost one man his job. Breaking news out of the statehouse. A big shake up we first told you about at 5-oh-clock. Just minutes ago Goveror Terry Branstad fired Iowa Department of Administrative Services Director Mike Carroll. This over newly uncovered e- mails that seem to confirm secret payments were made to silence fired government employees. Ryan Smith is live the statehouse tonight where he has been digging into this story all day... Ryan you've poured through these documents. Carol Frank was laid off from her job with the department of administrative services back in 2011. These documents indicate she was offered money specifically to keep the terms of her settlement with the state confidential. Administrative services director Mike Carroll last week said the state never orchestrated the use of hush money for any exiting employee. Just yesterday Governor Branstad reaffirmed Carroll's statement. But documents obtained by KCCI late this afternoon detail an agreement between the state and Frank's attorney stating she accepted the offer of confidentiality for payment of an additional $6,500 dollars. Senator Janet Peterson is co-chair of the oversight committee. We spoke with her just minutes before the Governor fired Director Carroll. "for him to come in to the legislature and lie about what's going on in his department gives us zero confidence in his capability of managing taxpayer dollars." "as the legal counsel that offered the money I can't imagine there's any state employee that thinks they have access to taxpayer dollars just to be offering up deals without administrators knowing about it." After the release of these documents I called the Governor's office for comment. His office announced the firing of Director Carroll minutes later. Kevin... This story continues to evolve... We will track the latest developments online and tonight at ten. Thank you Ryan. Today's developments are a huge turnaround for Governor Branstad who just yesterday explained and stood behind Director Carroll's actions. sot) ...LAID OFF But just an hour ago, the Governor released this statement.

Drew Scott was born in Vancouver, Canada and is the youngest of three boys. At an early age he, along with Jonathan, found his creative outlet through theater, singing, improv and sketch comedy. His television appearances include roles on Smallville, Breaker High and Madison. Drew's time on set developed into a newfound interest in directing and producing.
To fund this new passion, Drew and his brothers began investing in real estate straight out of high school. Together they launched Scott Real Estate, Inc. in Vancouver, which has since expanded to locations Calgary and Las Vegas. This proved to be a successful venture and later led the Scott brothers to incorporate their own production company, the Dividian Production Group, now known as Scott Brothers Entertainment. Through SBE, Drew has produced several films that have toured the festival circuit. He has produced high profile film and TV galas and events such as the Leo Film & TV Awards in Vancouver and the Producers Ball during the Toronto International Film Festival.
Drew and Jonathan co-host the hit HGTV shows Property Brothers, about families getting into their dream homes without breaking their budget, and Buying and Selling, a show focused on helping homeowners sell their current residence and purchase a new property. Their newest show is Brother vs. Brother, which pits Jonathan and Drew against each other as they each mentor a six-person team of home improvement experts battling for a grand prize of $50,000. Property Brothers is also broadcast in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil.
Drew is currently developing a film he is looking to shoot early 2013, which will be his directorial debut for a feature. He resides in Los Angeles.

Our new home is all we hoped for and more! We have lots of work to do yet, but we're enjoying every minute of it. Once we start serious work on the front yard, the daffodils will have to be moved. That's after we finish the work on the ditch to drain off the snowmelt and underground water beside the house.
When we get tired of digging and moving rocks, we can pick a book to read and just relax. We haven't named our 'horse' but that's Clyde going for a ride.

Hanzal gets 2-game suspension as Kings come to town
OCT 28, 2013 5:43p ET
Petry was shaken up on the play but remained in the game.
In announcing the decision, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety said Hanzal launched up and into Petry and is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement because of a one-game suspension in 2012 playoffs for a boarding incident involving the Kings' Dustin Brown. He will forfeit $75,609.76.
Hanzal is off to a strong start for the Coyotes. He has five goals, tying him for the team lead with Radim Vrbata and Mike Ribeiro, and his 11 points are second to Vrbata's 12. He'll miss home games on Tuesday against Los Angeles and Thursday against Nashville.
Hanzal's absence will be a tough loss to absorb agains the Kings, who beat the Coyotes 7-4 last week in Los Anageles.
The Coyotes (7-3-2) are 4-0-1 at home and have scored 21 goals in those five games, but Coach Dave Tippett knows they need to tighten up defensively.
"Don't get me wrong. I like winning," Tippett said. "Any time you win, you should have a smile on your face. But what I look at is how we're going to win long term. There are just some things in our game that are going to have to improve if we're going to win long term."
Mike Smith, who signed a six-year, $34 million contract extension in the off-season has a 4.06 goals-against average in his last five starts against the Kings and was pulled in the first period of last week's loss.
Los Angeles (8-4-0) defeated the Oilers 2-1 in a shootout Sunday, overcoming a strong effort by Edmonton's Richard Bachman, who made 47 saves after being called up from the minors to fill in for the injured Devan Dubnyk. The win was the Kings' fourth in five games.

How to Assure Cost Reasonableness — The Key to Good Federal Grants Management
February 14, 2013 Webinar - Listen On-Demand or Get a CD!
There are few topics affecting federal grants that involve more judgment than cost reasonableness. This session explores the concept of "cost reasonableness" as a key to good federal grants management.
The On-Demand recording will be available immediately upon purchase* as a link within a PDF file of the accompanying written materials. CDs and printed materials are shipped via USPS.
Learn about the concept of "cost reasonableness" as a key to good federal grants management
"A cost is reasonable if, in its nature or amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the cost." That's what the federal cost principles that apply to your grant or subgrant say on the matter of cost reasonableness. Well, if we can just find that "prudent person," we'll be just fine. Right?
There are few topics affecting federal grants that involve more judgment than cost reasonableness. And there are a lot of people who might be in a position to make a judgment. Start with the staff of the federal awarding agency or their inspector general's office. Add the governing body of your organization, its employees, its clients, the media, and the general public, and it's no surprise that disagreements about cost reasonableness crop up all the time. And when they crop up in connection with an audit, those disagreements can become downright contentious and expensive.
This webinar will explore the following:
- The concept of cost reasonableness — we'll delve deeply into the factors that the federal cost principles say should be relied upon in making "prudent judgments."
- How "reasonableness" is applied at each stage in the life of the grant or subgrant — from pre-award budgeting, to post-award expenditure and reporting, and ending up with the audit process.
- How judgments have been made in actual cases based on factors like sound business practices, arms-length bargaining, federal and state laws and regulations, and practices that the federal government itself employs.
- Ways to help you steer clear of marginal and problematic decision making.
ENHANCED CONTENT — You'll also hear how OMB's new federal grant reform proposal, released on February 1, 2013, is likely to impact allowability of your grant costs going forward. OMB's plan to consolidate and harmonize the various sets of federal cost principles is back on track and you've got another opportunity to comment on what is likely to be the biggest change in grants management policy in a generation.
This session should be an eye-opener whether you've worked with the cost principles for years or you're new to the grants field.
Level: Basic
Prerequisites: Some knowledge of federal grants management is helpful but not necessary
Advanced preparation: None
Hand-out Materials
Attendees will receive presentation slides as well as access to background documents.

Looking for work
Hi All,
I am a part time tiler who has carried out quite a few jobs by myself and worked a few days here and there for a tiling company.
I am looking to get into the trade full time, i would be willing to work for free to start with to gain some more experience.
I could send you over some pictures of my work.
I am i the Berkshire/Hampshire/Surrey border area.
I have also thought about trying to setup by myself, does anybody think that would be a good idea in the current climate? and how difficult would it be? any tips??
I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Looking for work
hi there andto the forum!
i would maybe hold of trying to get in to tiling full time at the moment,as a lot of friends of mine with trades are all struggling at the moment,it will take a while to build up a reputation and financially this migh sicken you out of it at the moment as you may be spending a lot of the time not tiling.a better idea would be to maybe do it as a side job allowing you to pick up experience but not rely on it for a regular income!

Re: Looking for work
You'll do good!
If your prepared to work for the experience that shows a desire and if you manage to get a position with an experienced tiler he wouldn't let you to work for nothing - even if it was a minimal amount.
I agree with Davd Campbell and would hold back until the confidence is there first.
Don't tile until you can grout, don't grout until you can sweep up.... just be helpful and not a hindrance. Youv'e got the willing, learn the able.
If you have money coming in from another source this part time tiling can be good fun. But when its your only income - make sure its for you.
I've been doing it for 35 years - through 4 lull periods ( not using the R word) and its great!

Mild cramping is common during early pregnancy especially between the 5th and the 6th weeks of pregnancy. This is credited to several factors some of which are nothing to worry about while the others are more serious and will require the intervention of a doctor or a health professional.
Harmless causes
Cramping at 5 weeks pregnant can be as a result of implantation. It has been proven that women who ovulate later from the last menstrual flow will experience cramping as the embryo implants. Even though this kind of cramping is quite mild and could be accompanied by slight spotting, it is nothing to worry about and should last on a couple of days. It s the most common kind of cramping most women will experience in early pregnancy.
Uterine stretching is another harmless cause of cramping during the 5th week of pregnancy. It is important to remember that the uterus is actually a muscle and tends to stretch during the early stages of the pregnancy. This is because even though the baby is still tiny, it is developing in size hence stretching which is absolutely normal. The expansion of the uterus however could cause cramping but the situation will eventually improve with time.
Gas pains and constipation are other causes of cramping but are usually overlooked as causes of cramping during the 5th week and they are completely harmless. Increased gas in the body is expected during pregnancy as a result of hormones slowing the digestion process and also as a result of the slowly expanding uterus thus having an effect on your digestive tract. The same goes for constipation and in most cases will result into cramping. They are however nothing to worry about especially during early pregnancy since they are common symptoms.
Serious causes
Unfortunately, cramping at 5 weeks pregnant can also be as a result of causes which are more serious in nature. They include ectopic pregnancy. This is a pregnancy resulting from the embryo implanting on the outer part of the uterus. This would normally be in fallopian tubes but it can also occur in other parts of the body such as the cervix, ovary and sometimes the abdominal cavity. This causes mild cramping and makes it hard for the baby to survive hence in most cases such a pregnancy will have to be terminated.
Miscarriage is another cause for cramping during this stage in pregnancy. It will however begin with bleeding then the cramping and this could go on for several days. There are various reasons as to why a pregnancy can end in a miscarriage with most being uncontrollable. The cramps in this case can be dull or sharp but persistent and definitely accompanied by the bleeding.
In any case, cramping that goes on for days and is accompanied by bleeding, pain on one side of the pelvis and is unbearable should not be ignored. It could be an indication of something serious and hence the need to seek medical advice and treatment as soon as it is possible.

Sonoma County Parks Commissioner Karen Collins likes the fact that she will be presented with the Rotary Club of Sonoma Valley's Conservation Award on Arbor Day. As a founder of Sonoma's Overlook Trail, a dump site transformed into a beautiful open, public space, she's proud to say not one tree was removed in the process.
Collins said she's thrilled with the award, having attended the Arbor Day ceremony every year. "I have so much respect for the previous winners," she said. Recipients have been the late Bob Cannard Sr., Tom Whitworth, John Donnelly, Pat Eliot and Mickey Cook, and, in 2013, Tom Rusert.
Originally from Seattle, Collins bought a Sonoma home in the mid-80s, and moved here fulltime in 1998. The "city girl" was charmed by the area, one she could get involved in and become part of the community. "I liked it here, and said, 'why not?'"
Collins is a cancer survivor. When diagnosed, her doctor recommended reducing stress, so she cut down her time running a tour company. Volunteer work became a fulfilling way to invest her time.
"There are so many organizations here, everybody is looking for volunteers," she said. "For people who've had careers, it's way to put that expertise to works and get things done."
Collins dove into environmental issues. In addition to the Overlook Trail project, she counts the Cows Not Casinos campaign, the grassroots effort to keep a casino off the Bay wetlands, as a highlight. "It's very gratifying when you see the town come together, and see the results."
As another major accomplishment, she lists helping to keep Jack London State Park open as a boardmember of the nonprofit group formed to take over the park from the state. "We signed the first contract, and saved it from being closed," she said. "Now, it's self-sufficient."
She also serves on the Advisory Council of both the Sonoma Land Trust and Bay Area Ridge Trail.
The award presentation is part of Sonoma's Arbor Day Celebration on the Plaza, Friday, April 25 at 11 a.m.
