Sexton back in the Ireland mix
ESPN Staff
March 11, 2013
Jonathan Sexton looks set to return for Ireland on Saturday © PA Photos
Ireland have received a boost ahead of the weekend's action following the news that Jonathan Sexton and Craig Gilroy will both be fit to face Italy.
Sexton was injured during Ireland's second round loss to England and was forced to sit out their defeat to Scotland and their draw with France. In his place Paddy Jackson has held the fly-half reins but Sexton is likely to come back into the side for Saturday's match in Rome.
Gilroy injured his groin during their loss to Scotland and Fergus McFadden took his place in the side for Saturday's draw against Les Bleus. McFadden will miss the showdown with Italy due to a broken rib so the Ulster flyer will probably come straight back into the team.
And Gilroy's Ulster team-mate Paul Marshall has received a call up to the national side and he replaces Eoin Reddan. The Leinster-man broke his leg against France and faces 12 to 16 weeks out.
Ireland are also sweating on the fitness of centre duo Brian O'Driscoll and Luke Marshall. O'Driscoll picked up an ear injury against France and also suffered a dead leg while both centres sustained concussion in the closing stages of the match. Ireland will also monitor Donnacha Ryan's fitness as he received a blow to the shoulder on Saturday.
"I asked Brian why he wanted to tackle Vincent Debaty twice - I thought he had more smarts than that," assistant coach Les Kiss said. "He's a warrior who puts his body on the line week in, week out. We know that. It's amazing what he pulls from his reserves. I imagine he'll do everything to be available for Italy. He's talking as though he'll be there"
But in better news for Ireland, talismanic second-row Paul O'Connell will play for Munster 'A' on Tuesday. The lock underwent surgery to rectify a bulging disc in his back on New Year's Eve and if he comes through the match against Leinster then he could feature for Munster in their Heineken Cup clash with Harlequins on April 7.

By Anna Somers Cocks. Art Market, Issue 244, March 2013Published online: 18 March 2013
With the pictures and things from Thurloe Lodge, a Neo-Classical villa tucked away in front of the Victoria and Albert Museum, Sotheby's is selling a piece of London history on 21 March. This is where Mark Birley lived, considered London's most elegant man for nearly half a century. Like his French counterpart, Hubert de Givenchy, he was very tall and beautifully dressed, with the narrowest shoes imaginable, but his taste was vachement anglais, the opposite of the formal fauteuils and ormolu-mounted vases that Givenchy collected. Mark used to say, "Avoid pairs of things," and he loved comfort above all else, an unpretentious sumptuousness, an eclectic mix of objects that he placed in perfect harmony with one another—which is why the catalogue can't give any sense of why the house was such a delight, with the scent of the flowers that were changed twice a week combining with cigar smoke, and the way he had of making everything feel like a treat. "You'd better have some Cold Duck" (or whatever the latest cocktail discovery was), he'd say as soon as you arrived.
Deeply EnglishHe was a shy man who hid his diffidence behind an aloof, slightly alarming manner that made those who got through to him feel privileged, and he trusted his dogs much more than humans, hence the dozens of dog pictures in the sale. He knew perfectly well that they weren't great art, but they touched him. Early on, before becoming famous for his luxuriously civilised nightclub, Annabel's, he spent a few years in an advertising agency, where he got a liking for witty images, so there are plenty of these on offer: New Yorker cartoons, political cartoons and cartoons by "Pont" about the English character. For Mark was a traditionalist who loved England openly; did anyone else close their commercial establishments to show respect the day of the funeral of the Queen Mother? He had also worked as a junior researcher for Winston Churchill, for whom he had the deepest reverence, hence the complete works in the sale. His father was the portrait painter Sir Oswald Birley, and Mark liked his kind of painterliness, which you see in all the descendants of Sargent. Many of his best acquisitions of this sort he found at The Fine Art Society, and they hang in Annabel's and his other establishments, which he furnished as though they were extensions of his own home, and then sold, lock, stock and barrel to Richard Caring in 2007 for around £100m. For all that he had a good eye, Mark was more a compulsive shopper than a collector, which explains some of the oddities (model boats and a sinister Vettriano). Neither was he a rich man until fairly late in life, so this is not a sale of great art; rather these are the relics of a man who was a terrific swell, who was admired and imitated, and loved much more than he ever thought. They will do well.

Special report: Syria to allow UN to inspect site of alleged chemical attack as David Cameron and Barack Obama warn Assad that military action looms closer
Britain and US warn President Assad of 'serious response'
Alex Dudok de Wit
Alex Dudok de Wit is a freelance writer and assistant editor at Time Out Paris. His chief interests are Japan, cinema, and above all Japanese cinema.
Sunday 25 August 2013
Syrian state media says the government has reached an agreement to allow a UN team of experts to visit the site of last week's alleged chemical weapons attack as military action against Syria moved a step closer after Britain and the United States warned President Bashar al-Assad that there would be a "serious response" to the massacre. As fresh footage emerged of children killed in the strike against a Damascus suburb last Wednesday, David Cameron and Barack Obama agreed in a 40-minute phone call yesterday that the Syrian government was responsible for the atrocity and that all military options are on the table.
The two leaders agreed that "a significant use of chemical weapons would merit a serious response" and a "new stage" in the two-and-a-half-year civil war. In a sign of how the military build-up is escalating, Washington despatched a fourth naval warship to the Mediterranean capable of launching missile attacks on targets on the Syrian mainland. Mr Cameron and the US President are "looking for a response that makes clear our abhorrence about the use of chemical weapons", a British source said. "Both shared the view that there is little doubt that this was a significant use by the Assad regime of chemical weapons against his own people," a No 10 source said.
While Britain is against sending "boots on the ground", military action could range from enforcing no-fly zones to air strikes against the Syrian regime.
Britain and the US are demanding that Assad now allows UN weapons inspectors, who are 12 miles away from the scene of Wednesday's attack, to examine the site. President Obama warned last year that a chemical weapons attack would be a "red line" for the US in the crisis. A No 10 source added: "As the days pass, they [Cameron and Obama] think it is increasingly unlikely that inspectors will get in."
The attack, believed to involve a nerve agent, killed as many as 1,000 civilians, including children, and wounded thousands of others, according to Syrian rebel sources.
The charity Médecins Sans Frontières said yesterday that hospitals it supports around Damascus have received about 3,600 patients over the past few days, showing "neurotoxic symptoms", of which 355 have already died. It is feared there could have been hundreds more deaths.
As outrage over the atrocity fuelled calls for action, President Obama called his military and national security advisers for a meeting at the White House to discuss the next steps. There were reports yesterday that US naval forces were moving closer to Syria, with the fourth ballistic-missile warship sent to the Mediterranean.
"The Defense Department has a responsibility to provide the President with options for contingencies, and that requires positioning our forces to be able to carry out different options – whatever options the President might choose," the US Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel, said yesterday.
A White House official said: "We have a range of options available, and we are going to act very deliberately so that we're making decisions consistent with our national interest, as well as our assessment of what can advance our objectives in Syria. The President has directed the intelligence community to gather facts and evidence so that we can determine what occurred in Syria. Once we ascertain the facts, the President will make an informed decision about how to respond."
Tomorrow, defence chiefs from the UK, France and other countries will meet in Amman, Jordan, to discuss the crisis. Sources insisted that the meeting had been planned since June, but it gives defence chiefs the opportunity to better understand the situation within Syria, according to Whitehall sources, including maintaining regional stability. General Sir Nick Houghton, Chief of the Defence Staff, will attend the summit.
After what happened in Iraq, President Obama is cautious about launching any form of action – from imposing no-fly zones and arming the rebels to a full-scale military assault. The Obama-Cameron talks came as Angela Kane, the UN's disarmament chief, arrived in Damascus yesterday, to pressurise the Assad regime to allow UN inspectors, already in Syria, access to the site of the alleged attack.
Rebel forces have accused the Assad regime of launching the chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of the capital on Wednesday. But the Syrian government denies responsibility and says the opposition is behind the assault on the outskirts of the city. Western powers and even Syria's ally Russia have urged the Assad regime to let in a team of UN inspectors to investigate the allegations. France and Britain, who have both signalled strongly that they support military action in Syria, have said they believe Assad's forces were responsible.
"I know that some people in the world would like to say that this is some kind of conspiracy brought about by the opposition in Syria," said the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, on Thursday. "I think the chances of that are vanishingly small and so we do believe that this is a chemical attack by the Assad regime."
For the first time, the Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, acknowledged that chemical agents had killed people in Syria, though he didn't say who was responsible. Russia has blamed the rebels. Both Russia and Iran are staunch allies of Damascus.
Syrian state TV, widely seen as a propaganda machine for the Assad regime, yesterday pinned the blame firmly on the rebels by airing footage of gas masks and other explosives apparently found in rebel territory.
"You've got to have some sort of process where you signal intent and this is first step", said Michael Stephens, a Doha-based researcher for the Royal United Services Institute, referring to the US naval build-up in the Mediterranean.
Chemical weapons
The state-controlled Syrian Arab News Agency claimed yesterday that Syrian army troops had uncovered a cache of chemical weapons in a network of tunnels used by rebel forces.
The soldiers, it said, "suffered from cases of suffocation" when rebels used "chemical agents" against them in the Damascus suburb of Jobar, close to where more than 1,000 civilians are reported to have been killed in a chemical attack last week.
The reports said the rebels had attacked "as a last resort" after government forces made "big gains". Television footage showed five blue and green plastic drums lined against a wall, as well as several rusty mortar bombs and grenades. Gas masks were shown, placed next to vials labelled "atropine", a nerve agent toxicity antidote. The presenter insisted that the images were proof that the rebels had used chemical weapons, but did not say which of the items contained them.
Critics claimed the reports were designed to deflect blame away from the Syrian government for a nerve gas attack in Damascus on Wednesday.
The international medical humanitarian organisation Doctors Without Borders said yesterday that three hospitals it supports in Damascus reported receiving 3,600 people displaying neurotoxic symptoms within three hours on Wednesday. Of those, 355 died. MSF says it cannot "scientifically confirm" the use of chemical weapons.

Berlusconi Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison
(MILAN) -- Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was convicted Monday by a Milan court of paying for sex with an underage prostitute and using his office to cover it up.
The 76-year-old was sentenced to seven years in prison and banned for life from holding public office.
But the powerful politician and media mogul isn't going to jail anytime soon. With two more avenues of appeal, it could be years before he is ordered to jail.
Berlusconi no longer holds any elected office, but his People of Freedom party is central to Italy's coalition government.

"Narrator issues!!!"
Let me start out by saying that I LOVE Jennifer Cruisie. However the narrator of this book made it extremely hard to listen to her read the story. I felt like she was racing through the story. It made it seem like the sentences were run on sentences. I almost had to quit listening to the book because of the narration.

- 2012 Jan 12
A higher education official from Wisconsin who attended the recent Council of Independent Colleges conference in Florida made a remarkable statement during a question-and-answer session.
There is a group of students who enter college with such dire financial need that the amount the federal government expects their families to contribute to college is effectively zero. In Wisconsin, that zero-pay population has grown by half in a single year: from 42,641 students in the 2008-09 academic year to 65,800 in 2009-10.
The data come from Rolf Wegenke, president of the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, and surely they mirror a national trend.
Incoming college students have grown markedly more needy since the 2008 economic downturn.
"The precipitous increase in student need represents a genuine crisis for these students and their families—a crisis which is replicated across the country," said Wegenke.
It's also a crisis for colleges. The federal government, through its Free Application for Federal Student Aid, has determined that many more students bound for Wisconsin colleges should have their expenses covered entirely through aid: Their "expected family contribution" is zero. But the federal government doesn't stipulate where that aid will come from.

kenmore elite compared to whirlpool duet
Customer Question
kenmore elite compared to whirlpool duet
5 years ago.
Share this conversation
replied 5 years ago.
Hi ya Chesterj,
Kenmore does not make any
Kenmore has them made for them by the major manufactures.
Most Kenmore elites are Whirlpool products. If you see that the Kenmore Elite looks just like the Whirlpool Duet, that's because it is a Whirlpool Duet. Perhaps with only slight changes of minor feature. What are you looking for in a washer. Per haps I can suggest something most people are unaware of.

The Kenmore elite is a little higher prced. If there is no difference at all, I don't want to pay the extra money. The reviews stte that the elite is a quieter model. I knew they were made by the same manufacturer, so what aI really wnat to know , are they better quality. why the price difference?
replied 5 years ago.
Kenmore is No better quality than Whirlpool. it is in my oppinion only a shell game.
You just pay more for Kenmore because Kenmore has a name that gets more money.
People shop names and buy Kenmore. Though not better than the same washer by Whirlpool.
On occasion Kenmore may aske whirlpool to add a feature for what ever reason.
If you want the best mahine on the market then read about Speed Queen laundry!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a manager of a 67 year old family appliance store. and I have the answer for you.
The washer and dryer you are looking for is a Speed Queen laundry pair.
They make front and top load washers and dryers.
The best machines on the market and almost never mentioned in Consumer Reports.
My customers come to me asking, doesn't some body make a washer that will last more than 10, even 14 years anymore?
Speed Queen is my answer. They are Commercial machines tested to wash 8 loads a week for 25 years. With a 3 year parts and labor warranty compared to all the others what give 1 year warranty now a day. And ten years warranty on the transmission, compared to one year the others give. The Speed Queens transmission has only 6 moving parts that are all stainless steel, gears and all. Not plastic gears and parts as the other brands have. The wash tubs are all stainless steel and the inner tub that you do not see, that holds the water is iron coated with porcline, rather than the competition inner tubs that are plastic. The top loaders use only 36 gallons of water compared to the 48 - 54 gallons of the competition.
The front loaders by Speed Queen use ONLY 13.9 gallons. Their washers spin at 300 G- force and the laundry comes out of the washers only damp, not wet like all the other brands.
The dryers always spin at 220 CFM lint or no lint. This means that the laundry dryers in half the time from the competions machines. Half the time in the dryer means half the Gas or Electric used to dry each load. Which means half the cost to dry a load of wash rather than using the competitions dryers and washer.
Should I go on?
The have an auto balancing system and never get out of balance, even on a 15 degree sloped floor. Thes may be the last washers and dreyers you buy. I'm 54 and n 25 years of marrige went though 3 washers and dreyers until I found my Speed Quenns. Now i'm good till i'm 79 years old
Speed Queen's history, dating to 1908

Speed Queen is not an option. My choices are Kenmore elite he 5 with steam and Whirlpool duet with steam. I need someone who has experience working on these washers and can tell me which one is the most reliable.
replied 5 years ago.
Hello, the Kenmore HE5 is made by Whirlpool this having been said your question was which one is more reliable? I have worked on both duets and Kenmore's, the most reliable one is the duet. for some reason the HE5 has a problem with the control board which shuts the machine down. have come across this problem many times. Have not seen too many common problems with the duet.
In the humble opinion of this service guy with 30 years experience buy the Duet. Hope this helps. Mike

You really haven't helped. You wrote an advertisement for speed queen. I looked up the reviews and they were terrible. so now I find it hard to trust your judgement. You said go with the duet - after I didn't agree with your ad -so I really don't know anymore than when I started.
replied 5 years ago.
Actually that was another expert, he opted out and I took over and recommended the duet. Your questions was on the reliability between the kenmore and the duet. My name is XXXXX XXXXX other expert was Neil. I would stay right away from amana/matag. Like I said over the years I believe the duet to be a more reliable machine. If you have any other questions please feel free to comment again. Mike

You can always change your covenant you know.
@LordXavierBritish: I wanted to join the Sun warriors but I was to late into the game and my faith was really low.
Warrior of Sunlight. Sunbros holla back!
I'm just disappointed in the lightning honestly... 50 faith and the damn Great Lightning only hits for like 500ish >_>... Which is only about as hard as frigging fireball, yes not even fire orb >_>... It certainly looks hella cool though I'll give you that, Zeus mode engage!

Chaos Servant. I have a thing for spider queens and pyromancy.
I just joined the Forrest Hunters. It's fun to be summoned for pvp. There really is zero benefit to it other than that. well, that and the merchant in blighttown sells cool shit.
Once I buy everything I want from him, I'll kill one of the forest hunters and break the covenant. From what I understand they're great for farming souls.

Blade of the Darkmoon. Being a bounty hunter is pretty badass. The only thing that sucks is that I cant seem to use Estus Flasks so any encounter is kind of nerve racking. Also people with Thunder Spears suck, thunder anything really every few hits do some unblock-able damage.
@imsh_pl said:
Forest Hunter is pretty awesome. I really wanted to join the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant but after I did I forgot not to pass the fog door... now I'll wait for a point when it's not that hard to grind 100000 souls and request absolution.
How well does the forest hunters work? Cuz I wear my Darkmoon ring for the princess to summon me and I've never once been called apon.
The only time it works is if I use the blue orb.

Darkwraith, easily. Infinite invasions with no limitations other than your soul range. Makes finding suitable hosts super easy not having to worry about if they have guilt or not, if they have dragon scales, if they are in a certain part of the world, etc.
Currently on my third playthrough, started with a new character, and I'm going to finish the game up to the final battle with my soul level securely locked at 15. I'm currently wading through Anor Londo. After becoming a Darkwraith, I will pray on all of the peons in the earliest areas of the game. There is nothing more terrifying as a newcomer than witnessing someone come in with armor and weapons the likes of which you've never seen, and completely wiping the fucking floor with you.

Same thing happened to me not long after I joined it. Worked out for the best, though, as they made for good grinding. ^_^
Forrest Hunters is now my least favorite. One of the hunters decided to randomly end it all while I was in the forest. I got the blame (and 2000 souls) and now I'm out of the covenant. Glitchy as shit.
I'm going to take pleasure in farming them now.

Skeletal Reduction of Boundary Value Problems over Thin Solids
Suresh, K.
University of Wisconsin – Madison
Boundary value problems posed over thin solids are amenable to a dimensional reduction in that one or more spatial variables may be eliminated from the governing equation, resulting in significant computational gains with minimal loss in accuracy. Extant dimensional reduction techniques unfortunately rely on representing the solid as a hypothetical mid-surface plus a possibly varying thickness. ...

2 Arcelor Innovation, Liège, Belgium
The self-induced ion plating (SIIP) process is a new physical vapor deposition process based on the evaporation of a metallic target (i.e. tin) thanks to a magnetron sputtering system. The aim of this work is to develop a numerical simulation model of the SIIP process in order to predict the target temperature field and from it, the coating profile on the substrate. The simulation of the SIIP ...

A Study of Curved Flexures for MEMS
Minhee Jun[1], and Jason V. Clark[1]
[1]Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
Large deflection actuators are becoming increasingly important for microsystems. Since actuation forces are usually small, large deflection actuators usually require flexures with low stiffness. Rectangular serpentine flexures are often used for such actuators due to their low stiffness and large linear deflection range. In this paper we investigate the performance of curved serpentine flexures ...

Technical University of Denmark
In this paper, a simple tsunami wave problem is studied. The geometry of consideration is an infinite ocean with appreciable variations of the ocean bottom. Long-wave theory is applied and the flow equations are linearized over depth. It is verified that it is possible to combine the use of analytical methods and COMSOL Multiphysics.
Numerical Bifurcation Analysis of Relative Equilibria with COMSOL
V. Thümmler
Universität Bielefeld, Fakultät für Mathematik, Bielefeld
Relative equilibria are special solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs), which are stationary in an appropriate co-moving frame of reference. If the equation has a special symmetry property - equivariance, then one can transform the equation into the co-moving frame during the computation of the solution. We will show that this can be very convenient for numerical computations. We ...

Freeway Ricky Ross Ex-drugkinPin turned Author & Motivational Speaker
Former drug trafficker turned author of Untold Autobiography Rick
Ross alleged that hip-hop is a government weapon.
"I believe that what they've done is that they've taken hip-hop and made it glorious to be a drug dealer," explained Ross. "You know when I sold drugs, I hid. I didn't want anybody to know I sold drugs, but now, they've got these guys who've never sold drugs." Ross then brought up how the rapper Rick Ross, who worked as a corrections officer and stole the former drug dealer's identity.
"The message that it tells our kids is that if you go out, sell drugs, then you can become a great rock star… and never go to prison," noted Ross. "That's a false message to be giving people who feel hopeless."
When asked if he was angry at rapper Rick Ross for stealing his identity, the real Rick Ross says he's "angry at the whole culture." Ross says he's not really upset at the rapper because he doesn't believe the rapper understands that he's a pawn in a much larger game.
Ross noted that it's harder for him to get into schools and teach kids an anti-drug message than it is for a rapper to reach kids.

Report of DEA investigation But Ross is the first to admit that being in the right place at the right time had almost nothing to do with his amazing success. Other L.A. dealers, he noted, were selling crack long before he started. What he had, and they didn't, was Danilo Blandon, a friend with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of high-grade cocaine and an expert's knowledge of how to MARKET it.

Fantasy Freeway ~ Setting a Draft Kings lineup for March Madness, Sunday games!
in Sports
In the episode of Fantasy Freeway, presented by The Red Light Sports Network, sponsored by Cover That Spread, JA and Troy will set a Draft Kings Lineup, for the NCAA Tournament games, on Sunday. Last week, the boys put together a lineup, that finished 14th. This was their highest finish, of the year. Then added another $15, to the Million Dollar Ramble. If the lineups win, the money is allocated, for the RLSN Million Dollar Ramble.
Today, with 16 NCAA games on the slate, the boys will enter two college basketball contests. The first will be the all day "Buzzer Beater", and then the evening "Buzzer Beater". If you are not playing Draft Kings, and would like to get involved http://partners.draftkings.com/aff_c?offer_id=124&aff_id=115449, it is easy to start. Draft Kings will double your first deposit, up to $200. We do not guarantee anything, but we will give you our best value players. The waiver we talk about on the show, if JA and I agree not to play someone, you should probably put them in your lineup. Secondly, there will be one player, on our roster, that has an undisclosed injury, or suspension, minutes before game time. As Kenny Rodgers says "If your going to play the game boy, you gotta learn to play it right." Therefore, for all you Draft King guru's listening in, call the show today and give JA and Troy your input on how you set your lineup.

"FREEWAY" RICK ROSS - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - APRIL 7 2014 - 7pm PST
The nickname "Freeway" came from Ross' ownership of several properties along the Los Angeles-area Harbor Freeway as well as the existence of a freeway near his childhood home.[4] According to anEsquire magazine October 2013 article titled "Say Hello to Rick Ross," "Between 1982 and 1989, federal prosecutors estimated, Ross bought and resold several metric tons of cocaine. In 1980 dollars, his gross earnings were said to be in excess of $900 million – with a profit of nearly $300 million.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
Inside Story | 19 Sep 2013 12:25 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Egypt, Israel, United States
Egypt's military-backed government says enforcing a state of emergency is necessary to fight what it calls a 'war on terrorism'. The state of emergency has been extended for another two months - the government says it was for security reasons but opponents say it will mean more oppression and abuse.
According to Amnesty International, some 3000 people have been arrested since the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi in July. The organisation has documented cases where detainees were denied prompt access either to their lawyers or families.
It's not a war against Islamists, it's a war against civil[ians] at the end, and we are refusing to use the emergency of law in political issues, and it seems this emergency law [is being used] to attack [the other] side in the political [arena] … and we are refusing [it] … because it is a law ... used against all activists and civilians …
Mohammed Adel, co-founder of the April 6 movement
Around 600 people have since been released, but Amnesty International says it was concerned that many were arrested for exercising their right to peaceful protest. Detailed accounts are also emerging of terrible prison conditions, some detainees say they were made to sleep on concrete floors and denied light or human contact.
And it is not just Egyptians who are suffering, two Canadians who have been detained for more than 30 days have gone on hunger strike in protest. On Tuesday, the French foreign ministry confirmed one of its citizens being held in Cairo had been beaten to death by other inmates.
There has hardly been a time when Egypt has not been under emergency law since the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981.
The measures allow security forces to detain people for any period of time, for virtually any reason. They also grant broad powers to restrict public gatherings and media freedom. Lifting the state of emergency was one of the demands of the 2011 uprising, and that goal was realised, when the extraordinary measures expired in May last year under the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. But emergency law was reintroduced by elected president Mohamed Morsi in January this year for 30 days, to curb renewed unrest. The latest state of emergency was brought back on August 14 by interim President Adly Mansour, and extended again on Thursday.
The US has renewed calls for Egypt to lift its state of emergency, but Cairo insists it has been necessary in order to stop the violence.
The army has been waging daily battles against what it calls 'Islamist militants' in the northern Sinai Peninsular. It says elements in the largely lawless region, bordering the Gaza Strip and Israel, pose a threat to the country's national security.
On Tuesday, Egyptian security forces stormed a town south of Cairo.
Groups loyal to deposed president Mohammed Morsi had thrown out the local police force in Dalga in Minya province. They were blamed for looting churches, courthouses, local government buildings and police stations, setting some on fire.
And this is precisely why, the government says, there is a state of emergency, however critics argue all the problems could be dealt under existing laws.
So, why is Egypt under a state of emergency? What does this mean for the Egyptians? And does it signal a return to the Mubarak era?
To discuss this, Inside Story with presenter Shiulie Ghosh, is joined by guests : Nicholas Piachaud, North Africa and Egypt Campaigner for Amnesty International; Marwa Maziad, a columnist at the Egyptian newspaper Almasry Alyoum; and Mohammed Adel, co-founder of the April 6 movement, an Egyptian activist group.
"This is a really new way of repression, it's a return to the kind of tactics and abuses that we saw under the 30-year state of emergency that marked Hosni Mubarak's rule.
"There are so many concerns here ... one women protester who was arrested with a broken leg said she spent days asking to be transferred to a hospital before she was given adequate medical treatment ….
"Unless the Egyptians authorities take immediate steps to ensure that justice is done, Egyptians' right to justice will be undermined, and I think just as crucially, Egyptians' right to see justice done will be robbed."
- Nicholas Piachaud, North Africa and Egypt Campaigner for Amnesty International

1.The Guitar-La Guitarra
The weeping of the guitar
The goblets of dawn
are smashed.
The weeping of the guitar
to silence it.
to silence it.
It weeps monotonously
as water weeps
as the wind weeps
over snowfields.
to silence it.
It weeps for distant
Hot southern sands
yearning for white camellias.
Weeps arrow without target
evening without morning
and the first dead bird
on the branch.
Oh, guitar!
Heart mortally wounded
by five swords.

Empieza el llanto

de la madrugada.
Empieza el llanto
de la guitarra.
Es inútil
Es imposible
Llora monótona
como llora el agua,
como llora el viento
sobre la nevada.
Es imposible
Llora por cosas
Arena del Sur caliente
que pide camelias blancas.
Llora flecha sin blanco,
la tarde sin mañana,
y el primer pájaro muerto
sobre la rama.

Corazón malherido
por cinco espadas. read more »

5.Song of the Guitar.
In the tenth year of Yuanhe I was banished and demoted to be assistant official in Jiujiang. In the summer of the next year I was seeing a friend leave Penpu and heard in the midnight from a neighbouring boat a guitar played in the manner of the capital. Upon inquiry, I found that the player had formerly been a dancing-girl there and in her maturity had been married to a merchant. I invited her to my boat to have her play for us. She told me her story, heyday and then unhappiness. Since my departure from the capital I had not felt sad; but that night, after I left her, I began to realize my banishment. And I wrote this long poem -- six hundred and twelve characters.
I was bidding a guest farewell, at night on the Xunyang River,
Where maple-leaves and full-grown rushes rustled in the autumn. read more »

from our story together: you are so much yourself ... and I am
so much other than myself right here before you! read more »

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Strong start crucial to a child's growth
Have you ever wondered why some of our earliest memories are of nursery rhymes?
The things we learn before the age of five stay with us for the rest of our lives.
Research shows that the early years in a child's life are a unique period involving the most brain growth and development. Investing in early childhood development (ECD) has positive short-term effects to prepare kids for school and provides improved physical and mental health, greater academic success, and better employment opportunities later in life. Leading economists have shown that ECD has a return of up to $17 for every dollar invested. If we want to maximize the potential of our youth we have to start before a child is born.
In July, we launched Starting Early, Starting Strong, a provincial dialogue on supporting families through ECD. Over 300 people attended the first public meeting, held at the Aboriginal Centre of Winnipeg. People from all over the North End came to share ideas on how to strengthen our early years strategy and give our kids a better start.
We also wanted to highlight the existing resources available, such as Manitoba's Healthy Baby Program that supports moms and their families through a prenatal benefit and community support program. To get these resources to the people in our community who need it the most, we need to reach out beyond moms and dads, to everyone involved in a child's life — from grandparents to uncles and aunties.
Wendy Hallgrimson, mother-to-be, attended the community dialogue and was excited to spread the word about what she learned. Since the meeting, she received a package of information for expecting mothers and is now receiving the prenatal benefit. Wendy has also connected with community supports through her local parent-child coalition and met with a public health nurse.
"These programs are already helping me and my family," said Hallgrimson. "It has really opened a lot of doors for me and I feel more confident about becoming a mother for the first time."
