Doctors and nurses will be told they must apologise to patients if they are harmed or distressed, under guidance issued today, following the Mid-Staffs scandal.
The General Medical Council has set out clear guidelines for doctors warning them they must respect the dignity of patients, act with honesty and admit went they have made mistakes.
In January the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, said that healthcare professionals must start 'saying sorry' to end a culture of defensiveness in the NHS.
In the past staff have been reluctant to apologise because they fear admitting legal liability or making the situation worse.
The guidelines, which will be published today, state: "You must be open and honest with patients if things go wrong. If a patient under your care has suffered harm or distress you must put matters right, if that is possible; offer an apology; explain fully and promptly what has happened and the likely short-term and long-term effects."
Under separate guidance from the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, from today ever patient will have a named doctor and nurse who is responsible for their entire care.
The change was called for by Robert Francis QC who set out recommendations for the health service following the scandal at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust where up to 1,200 may have died because of poor care.
The trust was found to have caused "appalling and unnecessary suffering" to hundreds of people, with some patients left lying in their own faeces for days or given the wrong medication.
One of the Francis Report's key recommendations was that care would be improved if a named clinician were accountable throughout a patient's treatment in hospital .
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt MP said: "Patients tell us that, too often, their care isn't joined up.
"That's why every patient should have a single responsible clinician whose job it is to help them with anything that goes wrong and make sure they get the care they need.
"This guidance will make that a reality – it has been developed by clinicians, for clinicians, and is a huge step forward for patient safety."
Professor Terence Stephenson, Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges said, "Doctors recognise that we need to have clear lines of responsibility when it comes to the way patients are treated during their stay in hospital.
"Some hospitals have already implemented a 'name over the bed' process and where they have, patients say they have more confidence that someone is taking overall responsibility for them.
"They also know who to go to if they have questions or if they think something needs to be done differently. This is vital if we are to drive up standards of care and continue to safeguard patient safety."

That video was so bad, it's unreal. Either I'm watching the wrong porn, or they've replayed the same DVD over and over again and not watched different porn.
The numbers don't add up to what they're trying to put over either:
"only 40% of women have tried anal"
then at the end
"finally, what about light bondage? well only 40% tried it... *whipe sound* wait thats actually quite a lot *hmmm sound*"
All the numbers there are quite high, and given the population even 20% of women is a LOT. I'm sure if they look at all the different porn out there, they'll find a LOT of hairy ladies too, and certainly a lot of different looking vaginas.
But yeah.. they can't say real life sex isn't like porn... maybe they're doing it wrong

|Dominican Republic
|April 25
Area 48,443 sq.km. The eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, shared with Haiti.
A large Haitian illegal immigrant and migrant labour population of over one million.
Capital Santo Domingo 3,601,000. The first European-founded city in the Americas. Urbanites 56%.
Hispanic 85%. Afro-Caribbean 7,136,000; Euro-American 1,360,000.
Haitian 14%. Speaking French Creole; about half are Dominican-born.
Other 1%. Jamaican 25,000; Chinese 9,000; Lebanese 3,200; Japanese 1,700.
Literacy 82%. Official language Spanish. All languages 3. Languages with Scriptures 2Bi.
Growth in the early 1970s has been replaced by devastating decline prompted by world recessions, a bloated bureaucracy and a corrupt government spending freely on costly prestige projects. Although the '90s have seen some improvement through light industry and tourism, 40% live in deep poverty and unemployment is still near 28%. HDI 0.726; 88th/174. Public debt 28% of GNP. Income/person $1,600 (6% of USA).
Independence achieved four times twice from Spain (1821/65), once from Haiti (1844) and once from the USA (1924)! Thirty years of repressive dictatorship ended in 1961, but instability and civil war prevailed until 1966. Subsequent democratic governments have proved manipulative and corrupt, leaving the poor and the oppressed Haitian under-class disenfranchized.
Catholicism is the state religion and the Church jealously guards its privileged political and economic clout. There is freedom of religion in basic rights for non-Catholics.
Missionaries from Dominican Republic
Missionaries to Dominican Republic
Answers to Prayer
1 Evangelical growth came relatively late, but took off in the 1970s and continued through the '90s as Evangelicals strove to multiply churches and take the gospel to 1 million Dominicans by 2000. During the '90s the number of evangelical churches increased from about 2,000 to 3,200.
Challenges for Prayer
1 Columbus' importation of sugar cane has been the source of 500 years of wealth and misery. It was one factor in the genocide of the one million indigenous Arawak Taino people, the importation of slaves in the past and also the present exploitation of Haitian labour. Another factor is EU distortion of the world sugar market by exporting under-priced, subsidized beet sugar. Pray for more fair and considerate treatment of the poor by both the Dominican government and richer nations in their trade policies.
2 Religious freedom is not yet an issue completely resolved for non-Catholics. The 1954 Concordat limits that freedom in taxation and government institutions. CODUE, one of the two evangelical umbrella networks, seeks to coordinate activities to ensure equality for all in the sight of the law. This has led to greater unity among Evangelicals than hitherto.
3 The major challenges confronting Christians are:
a) Retention of those converted. There has been growth in many denominations, especially Pentecostals, CMA and the several Church of God groups, but only a small proportion of those who respond through evangelism become members.
b) Development of Christian ethics for Christian involvement in a society where corruption, crime and promiscuity are rampant.
c) Cultivation of a missions vision despite pervasive poverty. There are over 70 Dominican evangelical missionaries, of which 30 are cross-cultural.
4 Leadership for the churches is a constant challenge. Emigration of the gifted and moneyed to Puerto Rico and the USA is a loss the growing churches can ill afford. Pray for vision, commitment and stickability for all called to Christian work. Pray also for those willing to serve in the poorer, rural areas. Pray that the seven or more accredited, theological training schools and the National Evangelical University may provide spiritual, mature and stable leaders for the future.
5 The large Haitian under-class has been the most responsive of all. The Nazarene and Christian Reformed congregations have multiplied. Haitians are immigrants, or descendants of immigrants, who are often despised by Hispanics yet needed as sugar-cane and manual workers. They face discrimination from Dominicans even Christians, and the question of their emancipation is a major unresolved issue that must be faced by both government and people. Pray for church leaders and their congregations to be good witnesses in this tense and inequitable situation.
6 The less evangelized for prayer:
a) The unchurched majority is nominally Christian but occultism is widespread, pervasive and strong. Maybe more than 4,000 villages have no evangelical witness.
b) The middle and upper classes have relatively fewer Evangelicals. CMA have majored on reaching them.
c) Youth. There are 30 universities and colleges with 150,000 students, but the need to work to pay for tuition, lack of job prospects and purpose in life, cripple initiative. Pray for the UJC(IFES) with its university (5) and school (3) groups and its need for more staff to extend the ministry. CCCI has a large contingent of workers in campus ministry.
d) The Chinese, who have only two congregations of believers among them.

A Science ship isn't the same as an Escort or even a Cruiser so it's unreasonable to expect them to act the same way. Fly the ship that suits your style. Build the ship that works for you. Science powers are actually incredibly potent if you build it and use it right. In PvP, the skills available to Science ships are incredible for creating opportunities or exploiting a weakness. If this wasn't an MMO then I might feel bad for a solo scientist but there are plenty of people online. Team up, perfect a build, and unleash the mad scientist within!
Science consoles are underwhelming but that's got more to do with Science powers themselves being incredibly strong with just Aux power. If they brought the potency down a bit and then boosted the consoles they could fix this but I digress.
Also, while there are lots of reasons to pick a specific ship, don't discount the impact that iconic ships have on the decision making process.

Hi: 10° Lo:3°
By Connie Osborne Thursday 05 June 2014 Updated: 06/06 09:32
A CAMPAIGN to stop school admission changes has been set up by a group of concerned parents.
Nicki Farnes, Rebecca Hyder and Sharon Harvey, created the Facebook group Redditch School Changes, calling for the retention of the current three-tier system.
As the Standard previously revealed, Tudor Grange Academy Redditch (TGAR) wants to expand to take pupils from the age of 11 and is currently consulting on taking in Year 7 and 8 pupils as early as September next year.
The move has led to several other middle and first schools to examine changing their own admission policies, including Walkwood Middle School where children from some of those involved in the campaign already attend.
With nearly 800 members in just over a week, the women say they created the group to give parents a voice.
Blue ribbons are also being worn by parents as sign of support for Walkwood Middle School which would be severely affected by the TGAR proposal.
Mrs Harvey said the group was neither for or against two-tier systems but wanted what was best for children in the town.
"We have a system which many parents believe works well and their children are happy, so why change it?" she said.
"We are not against a certain tier, but we want the best for our children and I believe that is how it is at the moment.
"The changes to Tudor Grange will not just impact one or two schools in the borough, parents need to realise this will change the whole
structure, and not necessarily for the better."
Mrs Farnes added: "We just want as many parents as possible to get involved and voice their opinions.
"It's not about who is right or wrong, but letting the schools know what you want for your child, what you believe is best for them.
"So please write those letters to schools consulting, fill out forms, get on Twitter and come to the meetings."
Search Redditch School Changes on Facebook for more information.
Parents can respond to TGAR's proposal by writing to Tudor Grange Academy, Woodrow Drive, Redditch, B98 7UH or email email@example.com by Friday, June 20. A public meeting is also being held at the school on Tuesday, June 10 between 7pm and 8pm.

John not only sold my home of 35 years, but negotiated what is still the best price for my new 4300+ square foot dream house in this community. He is extremely knowledgeable and very well connected in the community. Knows the market and provides excellent advise if you are willing to take it. He is also a very good listener. He helped us find reasonably priced and careful household movers as well as a roof inspector, locksmith and many other resources needed when buying/selling a home. We listened to and followed John's advice regarding preparing our home for resale and sold our home in less than 60 days in a very tight market. He was professional throughout and was always there to answer our many questions and provide guidance. In today's world of business it is very reassuring to find a business person with such high integrity as John. When we were in the final days of closing the deal to purchase our new home and we were up against the clock, John never lost sight of everyone's responsibility at this critical juncture. John was in constant contact with all the parties to ensure no one dropped the ball and the deal timely closed. There were some challenges along the way but John used his knowledge and influence to keep everyone moving forward. I highly recommend John because he possess it all; expertise, experience, business savvy, great connections, good communicator, high integrity, caring, patience, enjoyable to work with and for me personally, phenomenal results.

Prehistoric Site in Albuquerque Is Accidentally Destroyed
Construction workers at a new high school in Albuquerque inadvertently destroyed a site where important prehistoric artifacts had been found in 2000, according to today's Albuquerque Journal. The site, which was ripped up when workers excavated for a new water line for the school, provided the first evidence that prehistoric people who were part of the Folsom culture lived in the Albuquerque area some 10,000 years ago.

Celeste from Savannah, GA – Verified Buyer
I was surprised when I received this table at how nice it looks because the images online do not do it justice. The table is very sturdy and the top is very weather/spill resistant. On the product information it states that it fits 6 people total, but it can actually fit 8 comfortably with 3 dining chairs on each length and 2 armchairs at the head and end.

For multi-national companies, depending on the overseas jurisdiction in which the foreign resident is based, and whether there is an appropriate R&D incentives program in place, there is an opportunity to arbitrage between R&D regimes – that is, claim R&D incentives on some or all of the R&D activities and expenditure in both Australia and the overseas jurisdiction.
A number of jurisdictions with DTAs in place with Australia have R&D incentive programmes which allow overseas R&D incentives to be legitimately claimed in the resident country as well as in Australia. Examples of this could be a United Kingdom (UK) Small and medium enterprises (SME) paying for R&D to be undertaken by its PE in Australia or a Japanese corporate commissioning R&D work with one of its Australian subsidiaries.
This is not restricted to just R&D work inbound into Australia. The same could be true for R&D work being commissioned by Australian companies to their overseas parent or subsidiary companies; provided that the Australian R&D Incentive overseas expenditure provisions are met and the claimant company lodges an overseas finding, there is once again the opportunity to benefit from R&D incentives in both Australia and the overseas jurisdiction.
For both scenarios, the interrelationship between the R&D and Transfer Pricing requirements needs to be fully understood and coordinated. Achieving appropriate classification of the R&D technical challenges associated with the project being carried out in Australia or overseas and aligning these activities with the functional risk under Transfer Pricing principles need to be carefully considered. Please consult with your R&D and Transfer Pricing specialists prior to moving forward with such dual claims.

The Boudoir Loft
The Boudoir Loft's owner and photographer Kimberly Williams captures artistically framed images within her private Rochester studio. Though she concentrates mostly on sensual boudoir shoots, Kimberly also snaps wedding photos and portraits of kids, teens, and the various developmental stages of prized hydrangea bushes. Kimberly also flexes her Photoshop skills as she edits each photo, erasing flaws and enhancing natural features to create high-quality, alluring images. Additionally, her full-service, onsite salon and event space Blowdry Divas offers airbrushing makeup services and professional haircare, and both companies join forces by combining makeovers and glamorous photo shoots for bachelorette parties, birthday parties, and girls' nights out.

Our group didn't make it out until 12pm due to fog. But the company called to let us know early so we had a chance to do other activities. The tour promptly started act 12 pm and it was well worth it. The tour guides made sure we got to see Dolphins and we had a little bit of history...
Capt Mitchell and Capt Tom were wonderful. We went out just a little early and got back a few minutes late...we got our money's worth. It was very relaxing...just like family taking an evening boat ride. We saw dolphins and the beautiful skyline of St Augustine. I recommend this to anyone who wants a casual evening with new friends!
So glad you enjoyed your cruise. Thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic! Very informative and absolutely beautiful seeing the lights from the water. Highly recommend any of their tours.
So glad you were able to join us. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
Booked the boat tour to see the beautiful lights of the city, but got much more! The crew was amusing, informative, and very friendly. They took us pass the fort, under the bridge, and right past a real pirate ship. The view of it all was awesome !
It is so pretty, isn't it? So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We really appreciate it!
I live in St. Augustine & didn't think Nights of Lights would be any better on the boat. It was!
The panoramic view from the pontoon boat was fantastic--you could see the entire skyline. Our boat captains are natives of St. Augustine and offered a few local insights that were unknown to me. They were entertaining and knowledgeable. Great trip!
It's great for us locals who see the same thing all the time to experience something from a different perspective, and the water view of town sure does that. We are so glad you enjoyed your cruise and hope you'll join us for one of the great new cruises we have coming up soon. Thanks for sharing your experience!
The crew was great. We brought a cooler and had a great time drinking and watching the lights. the captain was entertaining. It is a short ride but with a groupon deal it was worth the 15$ a person to start out our fun night in St Augustine with the boat ride.
We are SO glad you said that -- that it is a great start to a night out in St Augustine. Alternatively, it's the end to a great day. Either way, we are happy to learn that you took full advantage of, and enjoyed, your BYOB cruise. That's exactly what we like to hear. Thank you for taking the time...
A great time with beautiful sights! I would do this every year!! Crew was wonderful and entertaining at the same time.
We hope you DO do this every year. Be sure to ask for your repeat guest discount! Thank you for the enthusiastic words; we really appreciate it!
We took the harbor cruise to see the light display in St Augustine last night, almost had to wait til next year. We are so glad we waited as the weather was perfect, calm and cool. The lights twinkled on the water as we slowly made our way around the harbor, passing by the Castillo de San Marco, along the...
We think it's official. Everyone really does love the magic of St. Augustine's annual Nights of Lights celebration, and our Nights of Lights cruise is a hit. Thank you so much for the wonderful description of your experience. We appreciate it so very much!
We enjoyed our water tour of tbe St Aug lights. . It was a very cold evening (by FL standards ) and we were worried we'd not enjoy tbe tour due to the cold weather.The boat was enclosed and had blankets if needed. The captain and tbe mate were well informed and made the tour very enjoyable. Well worth the...
So glad you decided to brave the cold and join us for a Friday evening cruise.It can get nippy out there for sure this time of year, so we try to warm things up with our charm. : ) Thank you for the kind review; we very much appreciate it.
Captain was knowledgeable enough and the mate was capable. The Night of Lights tour was a disappointment though; we probably should have walked around town. We got to see the spanish replica galleon up close which was cool. The captain could have made things more interesting with more historical stuff about the town versus chatting up the best bars. Glad...

George Orwell Was Right — Security Cameras Get an Upgrade 499

Personally, I'd rather my government cut down on gangs and violent crime than, say, littering or jaywalking.
I think the two are probably quite related. Littering shows a deep disrespect for the outside world, and litterers probably have tendencies to other antisocial crimes. Also, have you seen thugs and violent criminals out in public? They are constantly littering - perhaps the worst litterers I have ever seen.
I think there's something to be said for the "broken windows-esque" idea that a society that does not permit littering and anti-social behaviour, will also not tolerate violence and other more extreme f
In 10 years, cameras will have face recognition systems.
But it won't matter becuase it will be silicon snake oil distrusted by all other than inexperienced camera operators and idoits in politics. That combination however may create havoc and unlucky scapegoats in isolated incidents.

Hello, I'm Vince! I work in HIV/AIDS clinical research in Los Angeles. I'm a college-educated traveler, self-proclaimed foodie and a total nerd. I am a native of Southern California, but most recently lived in Boston for 2 years, where I worked in HIV prevention research, while my partner was a full-time graduate student at Harvard. We miss the snow, but are happy being back in LA.
I love traveling with my partner of 8 years. He is a doctoral student and lecturer in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Southern California. We enjoy spending time in San Francisco, Boston, New York City and any other city with great music, food, art and culture. We love walking and taking public transportation around major cities and getting to know the vibe of each neighborhood. We are especially fond of hip gastropubs (good, local beer is always a plus) ;)
We are very quiet, tidy, responsible and respectful guests that love meeting new people. You can count on us to make the bed every morning. =)
We hope you'll welcome us into your home!

Rescue Mission
It's been 20 years since The Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA, opened its doors. Back in 1991, this now-thriving studio was just a group of movement enthusiasts hoping to preserve the historic Odd Fellows Hall—a beautiful late-19th-century building in downtown Cambridge—and create a space devoted to dance. Today, the volunteer-based, artist-run center serves the Greater Boston area with six studios, an array of classes from ballet to capoeira, and a blackbox theater. The studio continues its 20th-anniversary events with a faculty concert, Nov. 11–12, and the Odd Fellows Dance Hall, Nov. 19–20, in which viewers can wander between four simultaneous performances and an exhibition by photographer/videographer Charles Daniels.

The Washington Ballet has appointed Monique Meunier as ballet master of its trainee program. Meunier was a principal dancer with New York City Ballet who went on to dance with American Ballet Theatre and Complexions Contemporary Ballet. The School at Jacob's Pillow granted its 2011 Lorna Strassler Award for Student Excellence to 21-year-old Craig Black Jr. The award, which goes to one student each summer, includes a scholarship to attend one of the Pillow's professional advancement programs, as well as a cash stipend. Black, a graduate of Juilliard, participated in the Pillow's contemporary program.

First, this is my first post to any site so please excuse any breach of etiquette.
We have a stackable LG washer (WM2496HWM) and gas dryer (DLG9588WM) with the controls on the bottom. The dryer is working fine but we�ve had some issues with the washer. A few years ago, we faced a large repair bill for the washer and decided to replace it but none of the big discounters would disconnect and reconnect the gas dryer at any price so we kept the washer.
The washer is having issues again and we would like to replace it before it totally fails. We were even willing to replace the perfectly good dryer for stacking compatibility however, nobody makes a dryer with controls at the bottom anymore. My wife is just over five feet and doesn�t want to stand on a stool every time she uses the dryer.
I know nothing about how stacking works but it doesn�t seem that complicated. Can a washer from another manufacturer be stacked under our dryer? We went to a dedicated appliance store and were told that LG no longer makes mid-level washers. Their cheapest washer would be $911 with the dryer disconnect/reconnect included.
Anyone have any ideas.
When I bought a set as a present, like you, stacking was out of the picture unless I was also going to buy the intended a step stool. I did not see any dryers with controls on the bottom. So stacking was not an option for them.
You might have a stand built for your current dryer. Make sure that it is built so that you can slide whatever washer you are contemplating underneath. The only other thing I can think of is have a metal working place build you a custom bracket or stand. We have had a local boat place build custom stuff for the boat, but you have to be specific in what you want. Good luck, just a thought.

For breakfast, you can order up Burger King's Ultimate Breakfast platter.
Tuck in to scrambled eggs, pancakes drizzled with breakfast syrup, a biscuit, hash brown and sausage, all for 1450 calories and 84 g of fat. OK, OK, it does offer up 40 g of protein, but we're thinking some eggs at home with whole wheat toast and even a slice or two of bacon would treat ya way better. Especially if you wanna wash it down with a Mocha Frappe—smalls pack 410 extra calories.
Grand total for the meal: 1,860 calories.
Heading to Taco Bell for lunch?
Though it's not the most ooest-gooiest option of them all, the Doritos Locos Taco Supreme gets our pick for major gross-out. Sure, we like a good Dorito every now and then. But as a taco shell? Vom. Grab two of these babies and you'll be wolfing down an acceptable 400 calories and 22 g of fat (9 of those being saturated). Wash it down with a Strawberry Cream Fruitista Freeze ('cause what goes better with fake Dorito cheese than strawberries and cream…) for 370 calories and top it off with a Caramel Apple Empanada for 310 calories.
Grand total for the meal: 1,080 calories.
OK, we know it's a fan favorite, but the McRib Sandwich makes us cringe.
It's a saucy rib! On a bun! Whaaat?! The sammie itself serves up 500 calories, 26 g of fat and 980 mg of sodium. But you're obviously going to add on fries—a medium clocks in at 380 calories and 19 g of fat—and a drink, let's say a medium Dr. Pepper for 210 calories. What's that? You want dessert? Hello, McFlurry time! The classic Oreo McFlurry piles on another 510 calories. But hey, it's good to the last slurp, right?
Grand total for the meal: 1,600 calories.
Your team's ordering up pizza from Domino's…
..And what do they choose? Why, the Bacon Cheeseburger Feast specialty pizza on the handmade pan crust, of course (because who doesn't want to mix pizza night with a li'l bacon cheeseburger, right?). Two slices plus a massive bottle of Sprite clock in at 970 calories, but this is Domino's, and Domino's is not Domino's without the Cinna Stix, right? Two of those delish babies (plus dipping sauce, of course) get ya another 490 calories. Quite the team meal, eh?
Grand total for the meal: 1,460 calories.

Hi, rsinclair.
I thought I had the same problem with my surface pro I, but eventually MPC-HC solved everything for me.
Install it, run it, go to options/internal filters, click audio decoder, and check everything under "bistreaming".
I use a minidisplayport>hdmi cable plugged to a yamaha rxv673 : the amp receives every format when I use this configuration, including DTS-HD and DOLBY TRUE HD.
I couldn't believe it because I lost the "spdif" option in VLC since I "upgraded" to windows 8.1, and since then my amp received nothing but PCM from the Surface, but there it is, working fine, thanks to MPC-HC! ;)

Outsiders Look to Sway Georgia Race With Ads, Manpower
ATLANTA -- Georgia voters on Tuesday are set to resolve one of the final elections of the 2008 campaign, but some of the most active groups seeking to shape the outcome of the Senate race here won't be heading to the polls.
With Democrats inching toward a 60-seat, filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, dozens of out-of-state interest groups on both sides of the aisle have flooded the state with political advertisements and manpower in an effort to influence the race.
Neither incumbent Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss nor Democratic challenger Jim Martin won 50% of the vote on Nov. 4, as required to declare a winner under state law. Tuesday's runoff has turned into an unlikely and expensive battleground, with the outcome of the race possibly determining whether Democrats gain an even tighter grip on Washington next year.
Overall, interest groups, candidates and political parties have spent more than $17 million during the four-week runoff campaign. That is about as much as was spent during the nine-month run-up to the November election, according to figures collected by the Federal Election Commission, the candidates and their political parties.
Since Republicans took a beating at the polls nationwide Nov. 4, business groups and conservative organizations have spent $4.2 million here on Sen. Chambliss, nearly four times as much as labor unions and liberal advocacy groups have spent on Mr. Martin since Election Day.
At stake is a filibuster-proof margin in the Senate. When a political party controls the White House, House of Representatives and 60 votes in the 100-member Senate, its leaders can sidestep most parliamentary procedures designed to block legislation, such as the filibuster.
Fight Seen as a Proxy
During the Nov. 4 election, Democrats increased their margin to 58 seats in the Senate. A recount in Minnesota could garner Democrats one more Senate seat, but results aren't likely to be known for weeks.
That leaves Georgia. Sen. Chambliss and Mr. Martin face off again Tuesday in an election that is now considered by many to be a proxy fight for dominant control of the Senate by Democrats.
"Once you get to 60, forget it, it's done," said Brian Noyes, president of a local lobbying and public-affairs firm. Monday, Mr. Noyes joined a dozen business leaders and local residents to pitch Sen. Chambliss to owners of retail shops in downtown Marietta.
The canvassing was organized by Moore Hallmark, who runs the political efforts for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in the southeast U.S. On a chilly Monday morning, Mr. Hallmark gave marching orders to his recruits, before setting off with a hand-drawn map of the business district and a handful of fliers highlighting distinctions between the candidates on business issues.
The results were mixed. At Eddie's Trick Shop, Mr. Hallmark, after being given the cold shoulder, placed a few fliers next to a package of fake dog doo. An hour later, in nearby Kennesaw, he found an ally. Shannan Smith, the owner of the Big Shanty Barber Shop, said, "If Democrats take over, I will be cutting hair in Costa Rica."
Ms. Smith said the number of people making appointments for haircuts has dropped by half since the economy began to falter, and she worries that any tax increases would put her out of business. "Every Republican voice we can have in there makes us a little stronger," she told Mr. Hallmark.
The chamber is paying $750,000 to air television advertisements backing Sen. Chambliss. The National Republican Trust, an outside political group that ran ads against President-elect Barack Obama, has funded more than $1 million in advertisements for the Republican. Other groups funding television advertisements or political mailings on Sen. Chambliss's behalf include the National Right to Life and the National Rifle Association.
"Our whole objective is to make sure that everyone gets out and votes and isn't complacent," said David Ruppenicker, head of the Southern Cotton Growers Inc., an advocacy group for cotton farmers that has paid for pro-Chambliss ads in rural newspapers. "In politics, if you go assuming things, that's when you get beat."
Labor Gets Involved
Mr. Martin, the Democratic candidate, has also gotten backing from interest groups. The Service Employees International Union, United Food and Commercial Workers, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and other labor unions have sponsored about $1 million of television advertisements for Mr. Martin.
The environmental-advocacy group League of Conservation Voters and NARAL Pro-Choice America have spent more than $50,000 combined on mailings urging Georgia residents to vote for Mr. Martin.
Labor unions also have dispatched volunteers and paid political organizers to stump for Mr. Martin. Sunday morning, scores of volunteers for the AFL-CIO convened at the headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to make phone calls and walk precincts urging voters to go to the polls.
The roughly 100,000 Georgia members of the AFL-CIO have been contacted an average of four times, said Richard A. Ray, president of the union's chapter here.
Union members hope the state's economic woes -- Georgia's unemployment rate, at 7%, is its highest in 16 years -- might persuade some Republicans to support Mr. Martin. Others acknowledged that Mr. Martin faces long odds; Republican Sen. John McCain carried Georgia in last month's presidential election.
"It's going to be almost impossible for him to win Georgia," said Nicholas Johnson, 43 years old, an AFL-CIO member who recently lost his job when Simmons Bedding Co. announced it was closing one of its plants in the state.

The brainchild of architect and artist Aram Bartholl, Dead Drops are fixed USB sticks hidden in public spaces and used to share secret and creative content anonymously. Just plug in your computer and see what goodies have been left surreptitiously. Aram began "injecting" USB sticks into holes in the walls of New York buildings two years ago, and the project has attracted a wave of followers ever since. Check out the video for ideas, then create your own Dead Drops, share content, and indulge those nostalgic espionage fantasies you've always harbored (no fooling us).
Animal of the Week: Bonobo Apes
Why? Because thanks to Bonobo Hope Great Ape Trust Sanctuary in Des Moines, Iowa, these guys could be your new BFFs. The Trust have spent the last seven years developing a program allowing bonobos to communicate with humans by selecting lexigrams on large touchscreen displays. And now, to ease that awkward moment when you bump into a bonobo out and about, they've taken things one step further with the Bonobo Chat app. The app translates English speech into lexigrams for Bonobos to understand, but Head Programmer Ken Schwaller says even greater things are in the pipelines. He suggests that the apes could eventually use Bonobo Chat to change the temperature, operate vending machines, and even watch movies. Fun, or freaky? What do you think?
With thoughts of springtime and camping on our minds, we can't help but love these Tentsiles! Described as 'a portable treehouse', these 'high-up-in-the-sky' tent/hammock hybrids are perfect for those of you who love camping, but hate to sleep on the cold hard ground - definitely a Creative Use of Space! They come in a variety of sizes and colors, so you and your friends can snuggle up in signature style. Just make sure those trees are strong enough...

Sometimes I get letters or emails from people that make me want to spit tacks.
I'm not talking about critical letters. (Those make me want to hide under my covers, suck my thumb and cry.)
I'm talking about letters from people, from fellow Christians, who are sure God isn't pleased with them and who are desperate for a how-to to help them get back on track, to finally be faithful to God.
The Walking Dead have a message for you:
Matthew 27:50-53 "And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people."
About six or so years ago, I met a man who said he saw a dead man raised to life.
The dead man's name was Bob and the man who told me about it said God had told him to go to Bob's house to pray.
He didn't know Bob had died until he got there, but since God had told him to pray, he figured he better do it. So, he asked Bob's wife if he could see him.
The man had seen death before, and Bob was dead. Even so, the man started praying because God had told him so.
Every time my town has an event that draws a lot of people, from a Saturday's farmer's market to a festival or parade, a local pastor and members of his church are there, handing out gospel tracts.
During the St. Patrick's Day parade, Brother Troy was on the corner, handing out tracts.
The Walking Dead have a message for you:
Boyers Chapel will be having a Sunrise service April 8 at 7 a.m. with breakfast to follow.

All this past week I've been talking to people with scars for a series of stories that I wrote for the newspaper where I work.
I got the idea from a photographer I heard on the radio, talking about a series of photos he had done of people's scars.
He said that every scar tells a story.
When I was 9, I bent down to say "hi" to Sam Lang's Basset hound and it jumped up and bit my face, tearing a hole from the right edge of my lip to my chin.
Oh, to be loved as Dennis Williams is loved!
A week or so ago on a Sunday afternoon, two women I don't know knocked on my door.
They said they knew me, or at least knew me through my writing and somehow thought I could help them find their friend Dennis.
They knew enough about me to deduce that I owned my own home and searched the county property appraiser's website to find my address so they could come and see me in person because they were that desperate to find their friend who was missing.

Cattedrale di S.Lorenzo
This church, dedicated to S. Lorenzo became the city's cathedral in the 10th century AD after it was deemed to be safer than the more primitive S. Siro cathedral, as it was situated inside the fortified walls built in 864 AD. The three black and white striped marble portals on the front are sculpted with stories of the Virgin Mary and can be traced back to 13th century Franco Norman craftsmanship, providing the most interesting example of the French Gothic style in Italy. The construction of the cathedral, which can be said to have lasted for centuries thanks to artists from Pisa, Lombardy and France, gave rise to an interesting mixture of styles, especially visible in the black and white facade. The inside is made up of three naves flanked by columns and reclaimed roman capitals, and owes its current appearance to the refurbishment carried out after the fire in 1296. The frescoes were done by L. Cambiaso and G.B. Castello il Bergamasco. The sober dome by G. Alessi and the presbytery are also from the same period. The bronzes on the altar in the presbytery are interesting. Everyone from Genoa knows the story of the bomb that sits at the beginning of the right hand nave. On 9th February 1941 it hit the cathedral destroying part of the casing, but remaining miraculously unexploded. The sacristy leads to the valuable Museo del Tesoro di S.Lorenzo

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at email@example.com.
The pils is a quaffable style of beer, the kind of brew you throw back on a summer day while tossing a Frisbee, working in the yard, or playing horseshoes. Traditionally, American pilsners have been thin, easy to drink, and sometimes even a little watery. Not so with Pikeland Pils, brewed in Pottstown, PA by Sly Fox. Sure, it's got the light straw color and easy drinkability you expect from the style, but "thin" and "watery" are not terms you'd use to describe this beer. It's got grassy, herbal hops on the nose, a slightly peppery bite in the taste highlighting some burnt toast malts, and soft carbonation that makes it stand out from the typically brisk carbonation of the style. It's a little bitter for a pilsner, but craft beer lovers won't complain about that. On the next hot day, down a few of these at Moonshine.

For more details (in case you are interested ), refer:
Yesterday, we had a round table conference discussing the issue of violence and its repercussions at the Manesar plant of Maruti...Esteemed speakers addressed both the batches--the juniors and the seniors...Very good learning experience
Posting after a long long time here...The new version of PG had put me off initially
@[279717:Hemanth_Karna]: not to forget the unlimited strategies we devised during the campaigning process.
Students Union elections are successfully completed at the college. I was part of the experience again this time. Came to know about the power centers in the college. Finally, the results are announced and I have been elected as Treasurer. I am very happy for this. Waiting to get into the Union from this January. Now that became true.
An auspicious day in the life of any dedicated PGite
Got the "TISS Mumbai" tag today
We are getting into the groove as the days pass by...Assignments and projects have started flowing in :shocked:
And something else too has started-->The Foundation Courses
We have 45 sessions, each of 2 hours for the foundation courses
Also, Meghmudra is round the corner and the processes for selection of various committees have started

In this study, the spatial distribution of the potential drought hazard areas in Korea was estimated by conducting frequency analysis with the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), and the changes in potential drought hazard areas that appeared because of climate changes were predicted. In an attempt to estimate the changes in the spatial distribution of potential drought hazard areas, past observed data (1976–2010) from 54 automated weather stations under the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and projected precipitation data (2011–2099) by four global climate models (GCMs). CNRM:CM3, CSIRO:MK3, CONS:ECHOG and UKMO:HADCM, were used. The severity–duration–frequency (SDF) curves were derived for the 54 weather stations in order to estimate the potential drought hazard areas by employing the potential drought hazard mapping approach. The spatial distribution analysis for the potential drought hazard areas showed that the drought in the Nakdong River basin, which was a frequent drought hazard area in the past, was more aggravated, and more severe droughts were predicted for the future in the Han River basin (Han River, Anseong Stream, West of Han River), which is located in the middle part of the country. From the analysis results of the four GCMs, more severe drought is expected throughout the Korean Peninsula in the future, by using the CONS:ECHOG model compared with the projected data from the four GCMs. Additionally, potential drought areas would shift from the south toward the east and central parts of the country, as projected by the UKMO:HADCM model.
