Fashion Industry Trends – Fall 2013 International Fashion Shows
Fall and winter are not only a change of season, but they are also the time of year that designers are showcasing their creations in fashion shows all over the world. However, don't expect the clothing for the current season to be on the runway because the designers are usually working on collections six months to one year ahead. And don't expect any trips to these exotic runways to be cheap! A wise investment to make beforehand might be in travel insurance from John Lewis. This type of coverage internationally guarantees a generous cancellation cover limit, emergency medical expenses, and a travel delay retainer!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: New Route was far better than last Year, definitely hope it's on next year as I'll be back ! A PB was on for me at 24 miles but unfortunately the heat got the better of me and I just missed out.Date of review: June 13, 2006
In short: Overall this race was badly organised from start to finishIn full: I've done many 10Ks, 10 milers, Half Marathons and full Marathons and I have to say this was the worst organised race I've ever done but it was good training for FLM.I feel sorry for novices completing their 1st Half M'thon as there was no T Shir and a pathetic "goodie bag". They must be wondering what their money was spent on !Date of review: March 26, 2006

Whether it is the current state of affairs in Egypt, the war in Syria, or the new administration in Iran, the geo-political reaction signifies much larger global changes than is obvious in each of the events itself.

Has anyone stopped to determine what the closure of the Suez Canal would actually mean to the oil market in dollars and cents?
Take a look at this handy chart covering a smattering of recent revolutions, militant movements, terror groups and insurgencies to see how others have tried to topple a government!
Police and government officials have pulled out of Suez so there are no government services -- the governor's been gone since Tuesday so there's a power vacuum.
The majority of the 80 million people of Egypt live in abject poverty. They go to kiosks to make calls. A substantial number have never used the internet. They are not twittering -- they are out on the streets giving vent to three decades of anger.
Water justice advocates around the world cheered recently when a French court rejected a defamation lawsuit brought by Suez Water against the makers of the documentary film Flow.

BY PROFESSOR PRIYANI E. Soysa Chairperson - NHRC, Emeritus Professor of Paediatrics
THE National Health Research Council (NHRC) has functioned for many years though some high officials have found it difficult in terms of time to continue to serve on it. The following constitute the present council.
* Prof. Priyani E. Soysa (Chairperson)
* Deputy Director General of Planning of the Ministry of Health
* Deputy Director General Medical Services of the Ministry of Health
* Deputy Director General of Public Health Services of the Ministry of Health
* The Deans of many medical faculties or their representatives
* The Director of the Postgraduate Institute of Medicine (PGIM)
* The President of Sri Lanka Medical Association (SLMA)
* The Chairperson of the Nawinna Ayurvedhic Research Institute
* The Director of the Medical Research Institute
The Ministry of Health provides the Secretarial help with the Deputy Director General of Education, Training and Research, the Director of (Training) and associates attached to this division.
Over the years, various activities were carried out by this Council which included Research Management Workshops and Writing Research Proposals open to interested and nominated participants from the Medical Faculties and the Department of Health.
A large workshop was held not only to identify research priorities but also research policy. The latter was on the basis of a draft prepared by a WHO expert from Nepal who spent weeks meeting experts before submitting the draft. This was discussed by a variety of scientists besides medical experts.
The final draft was circulated for corrections. The NHRC spent nearly one year seeking views of the Council members. One section included the constitution of Ethics Review as a sub-committee. This policy was accepted by the two Cabinets, the last and the present. Many grants have been awarded for research in Community Medicine and Microbiology.
The Council is now planning a series of public lectures to include their participation and to increase their awareness of new issues arising from the rapid expansion of medical technology, specially within the last two decades. This is essential for understanding the concept of informed consent.
Perhaps, it is particularly relevant at this time, when a host of local and foreign agencies are using the tsunami disaster to take undue advantage of victims with overlapping research and questionnaires.
At present there are many ethical research review committees in all the medical faculties which have worked for many years.
NARESA too has played a role more than twice to update and discuss the World medical Association (WMA) code which was the original guiding document. Questions of transplantation, sex determinations and abortions, and HIV issues are some areas under review.
In a planned series, the NHRC have organized a public seminar on May 8 (Sunday) with the collaboration of Sri Lanka Medical Association (SLMA) and National Science Foundation (NSF) at the Lionel Memroiral Auditorium, SLMA from 9.00 a.m. - 12 noon. Admission is free and open to the public.
The speakers are Prof. A.H. Sheriffdeen, President SLMA on Ethics of Transplantation, Prof. H. Seneviratne, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Colombo Medical Faculty on Ethics of Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Prof. Anoja Fernando, Senior Professor of Pharmacology on Ethics of Research.
These presentations will be informative and directed towards improving awareness of Public Science Culture which is sadly lacking in the country. Here is a beginning for improving scientific education for everyday life.
All are welcome. Ignorance is not mere bliss, it is astounding not merely with ordinary people but among professionals. The river of science flows on for ever, with rapids and falls. Therefore there is a need to review progress and defaults for the good of humankind.
Very soon doctors in consultation rooms will be calling for your Medical Horoscopes in CDS, which they call 'Genomic' to diagnose your ailments and also predict your future in health, based on a family health history record.
Unlike an astrologer forecasting your future by reading your horoscope, which may or may not happen as foretold. Doctors are now researching to predicting your future accurately through what they call your 'Genomic' record. That's your family health history record.
This emerging new trend in health is described in an article carried in the February 2005 issue of the American Family Health Journal-FP Report.
A copy of which has been sent to the Healthwatch for use by our Medical Advisory Panellist Dr. Dennis J. Aloysius.
In this article titled - First 2005 ACF programme highlights family genetic history. It states,
"AAFPS Annual Clinical focus on genomics launched late last month focuses on how family physicians can uncover, explore and use patients family histories to help predict and manage health conditions that include a genetic component.
In this article Family Physician Norman Khan MD AAFP (Vice-President for Science and Education) explaining why genomics was chosen for this year's ACF initiative refers to two clinical scenarios participants are likely to have encountered in their practices and outlines some issues they raise.
How does family history help clinicians decide what screening interventions are appropriate for their patients? What are the implications of a positive or negative screening result on preventive management?
Genetic glitches we carry around and making predictions
Dr. Francis Collins MD. PhD (Director of National Human Genomic Research Institute) writes: "We will learn the individual genetic glitches that each of us carries around end that will give us a chance to make predictions about who's at risk for what?"
SARATH Malalasekera talks to Dr. Rasvinder Jit Singh
ACU-MAGNETIC treatment which dispenses an established form of alternative therapy in which no medicines are administered are introduced in Sri Lanka by Dr. Rasvinder Jit Singh, Chief Consultant at Acu-Magnetic Treatment Centre, Alkhuwair, Muscat Sultanate of Oman.
Dr. Rasvinder Jit Singh
Dr. Jit Singh who is also the Chairman of the International Hospital for Natural Treatment, India is on a mission to create awareness on Acu-Magnetic Therapy in Sri Lanka.
Dr. Jit Singh who was on a short visit to Sri Lanka on request by Dr. M. G. M. Zulfic recently said that effective treatment by advanced Acu-Magnetic Instruments enabled the safe successful treatment and cure of diseases of Sexual Weakness, Asthma, Diabetes, Back pain (Disc problems), Neck pain (Cervical problems) Headache, Migraine, Depression, Arthritis, Joint pain, (knee, neck, shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle and heel).
This facility offers treatment free of charge to reduce stress from body and mind. The stress reduction therapy involved the use of two devices - a stress free card and a pyro-magnetic mattress.
The human body is composed of five elements as the environment - water, air, fire, earth and weather.
The ratio of these elements is the same in human body and the environment.
Nearly 90 per cent of diseases are caused by stress while 80 per cent lead to stress, Dr. Jit Singh emphasised.
A symposium on new trends in neuro sciences in Sri Lanka was recently held at the Asiri Surgical Hospital at Narahenpita, with the participation of a number of leading consultants in the specialities.
At this symposium the consultants gave live demonstrations of the application of some of those latest facilities, specially with regard to neruro sciences that are available at the Asiri Surgical Hospital.
Among the specialists and consultants who gave demonstrations were
Dr. Sunil Perera (Consultant Neuro Surgeon), Dr. Ranjani Gamage (Consultant Neuro Physician), Dr. Fred Pereira (Consultant Neuro Surgeon), Dr. Sudath Gunasekera (Consultant Neuro Physiologist), Prof. Saman Gunathilaka (Consultant Neuro Physician), Dr. Jagath Wijesekera (Consultant Neuro Physician), Dr. Natasha Peiris (Consultant Physician), Dr. Ram Mohan (Consultant Radiologist), Ruwanki Jayasinghe (Occupational Therapist), Dr. Rohini Ranwala (Consultant Anesthesiologist), Manish Deshmuk (Product Specialist - Neuro Navigator), Channaka Perera (Product Specialist-Neurology Microscope) and Karthic (Product Specialist-Video EEG Monitoring) shared their experiences at the symposium.
At present Asiri Surgical Hospital is engaged in the treatment of a range of neurological diseases and disorders such as surgeries for Tumors, Haemorrhages, Aneurisms and Epilepsy.
A special unit is also available for the treatment of acute stroke, followed by rehabilitation, while in hospital and at home. Hospital hopes to start surgery for Parkinson's disease in the very near future.
THE tsunami that struck on December 26 across countries of South East Asia was one of the worst natural disasters in modern history. It caused 270,000 deaths, injured 500,000 people across several countries and left untold numbers homeless and exposed to threats of disease outbreaks.
The conference is being convened by the World Health Organisation in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Health of the Royal Thai Government.
Participants will be at senior policy and expert practitioner level. The conference will focus on the lessons learnt in the immediate health sector response to the tsunami and during the early phase of recovery in the broader framework of efforts undertaken by the affected countries supported by international assistance.
To review health sector experience with response and early recovery to determine successes and limitations. This is a 'lessons learnt' meeting bringing together health professionals from government and civil society to examine what was done well and what could have been done better.
This would help strengthen national capabilities for future preparedness and response to disasters and to seek improvements in international systems that support national capacity development.
The conference is to be held from May 4-6, 2005.
THE ExtraLife Centre at the Manor Hospital in Oxford, will be one of the most advanced centres in the world, offering terminally ill patients the possibility of improving their lives by providing heart blood pumps known as Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs), as well as other advanced cardiac surgery procedures.
Dr. Adrian Banning, principal cardiologist and supervisor of patient selection and post-operative care for the Oxford study of permanent LVAD implantation said:
"Heart failure is a huge problem in our communities. These treatments and technologies offer new hope to patients whose lives are blighted by fluid retention and breathlessness."
Chairman of the Artificial Heart Fund (AHF) Charity, Peter Houghton was close to death in June 2000 prior to receiving the first ever permanent heart blood pump. Since then, Peter has lived life to the full, he has participated in 90 mile sponsored walks, hiked in the Alps and published two books.
In addition, he has lectured worldwide about heart blood pumps and the quality of life they can provide to 'terminally ill' heart patients. He is now the longest living permanent LVAD patient in the world and will celebrate the 5th anniversary of his LVAD implant in June 2005.
Founder Director of ExtraLife Philip Peake says: "The ExtraLife Centre will be the first of its kind in the UK so we're all very excited about its opening.
"Not only will the Centre lead the way in both research and treatment but it will also provide significant clinical information, giving Britain the opportunity to push forward the boundaries of cardiac surgery with the use of mechanical devices."

Roses to the veterans of the U.S. armed forces. Thursday is Veterans Day, and Columbus celebrated early with a parade and tribute to local veterans on Saturday.
We should never forget the sacrifices veterans have made to keep this country free. After a particularly ugly campaign and election season, we should remember that, thanks to our veterans, we have the freedom to disagree.
We also should not forget that our all-volunteer armed forces and mired in all-out war in Afghanistan and remain in Iraq, though in the fewest numbers since that conflict began.
During the election, Afghanistan and Iraq were barely mentioned, as voters focused on the economy. We hope Veterans Day brings renewed attention to those conflicts, and brings to mind the heroic efforts of all our veterans through the decades.
A rose of condolences to the Mississippi State University family, who lost football player Nick Bell to cancer this week.
Bell, a Bessemer, Ala., native, died in Birmingham while fighting skin cancer, which had spread to other parts of his body.
A tearful memorial was held for the 20-year-old Thursday at Mississippi State, with family, friends and teammates paying tribute.
A rose to the Columbus Police Department helping the needy and elderly in the community have a decent meal this Thanksgiving, and a gift under the tree this Christmas.
For Thanksgiving, the department is leading a turkey drive, with the help of the Columbus-Lowndes Recreation Authority, the Concerned Citizens of Columbus, and local businesses. Volunteers will gather at Stokes-Beard Elementary on Thanksgiving morning to help package and distribute 600 meals.
The department is also working to raise funds to buy bicycles for 200 children for Christmas.
These are ambitious goals, and we challenge the community to help. To donate food, time, or money, call the police department at 662-244-3528 and ask how you can pitch in.
A rose to organizers and the army of volunteers of the Empty Bowls event, which culminated with a charity sale Saturday at Brickerton in Columbus. For the past several months, the Mississippi University for Women Department of Art and Design organized the project, which benefits the local Loaves and Fishes soup kitchen and provides food for children in Africa through Global Connections.
MUW students, university faculty, area artisans, local schoolchildren, and community volunteers pitched in with a goal of making 1,000 ceramic bowls for the event, doubling the number of bowls made last year. Clay for the bowls was donated by Columbus Brick Co.
Volunteers offered the bowls -- and homemade chili, gumbo and other soups prepared by the MUW Culinary Arts Institute -- for a donation of $10 each.
Helping fight hunger has never been so tasty.
A rose to the city of Starkville''s recycling committee and Ward 3 Alderman Eric Parker, who are proposing the city switch its garbage collection method from bags to bins.
While some aldermen and members of the public already have spoken out against the change, Parker contends the switch would save the city nearly $600,000 over the next 10 years. Sure, there will be initial start-up costs, but the city easily will make its money back and then save an additional $589,100, Parker said.
Considering the city is facing such tough financial times, the move makes sense, although residents are concerned they will have to purchase their own garbage bags if aldermen approve the change.

Shaack, the new restaurant in town, serves a variety with dishes chosen from diverse cuisines
A wave of nostalgia washes over us as the music takes us back to our school days. 'I'm gonna be around,' 'Love me for a reason,' 'Someday'…there's Michael Learns to Rock, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys…We aren't at a boy band congregation from the nineties but at Shaack, a new restaurant in Anna Nagar.
Spelt with an extra 'a', this place aims to create a laid back shack kind of feel. The ceiling is done up in knotted ropes, there's sunlight filtering in from the large glass windows and sprightly waiters move about in bright Hawaii-inspired uniforms.
It's a warm afternoon, and as we languorously sit back and glance through the menu we realise it's going to take more than just a cursory glance to decide what we want. Thai crispy corn cakes and hot and crispy beef are perfect as starters. The crunchy corn cakes filled with juicy corn kernels are good but what's even better are the glistening chunks of mildly spicy beef sprinkled with sesame. There's a fine mix of Continental, Pan Asian and South Indian cuisines. . Their specialty dishes include prawn Barbados, shrimp cocktail, stir fries and steaks. The restaurant will soon have a live pasta and salad counter. There's Pad Thai, Vietnamese fish, mutton paya, chicken biriyani...blackened cottage cheese, pineapple rice and Indonesian-style braised chicken.
The consistency continues with the main course. The blackened cottage cheese is a delight. It comprises fluffy cubes stuffed with spinach and mushroom and served with a portion of tomato red chilli rice. For the others, we go with the waiter's recommendation — pineapple rice and Indonesian-style braised chicken. The portions are generous. The pineapple rice is sweet with raisins, bits of pineapple and cashew adding to its unusual flavour. It pairs beautifully with the fiery Indonesian chicken in a rich peanut-based gravy. Together the two are quite like the Romeo and Juliet of the menu. It's disappointing that the menu has no desserts listed. Just when we are about to throw in our towels...erm napkins, the waiter reappears listing out a few desserts. In the company of dieting friends I am allowed to order just one. Coconut souffle is the unanimous choice. By the end of the meal the dieters agree that the smooth, gelatinous and wobbly cup of souffle is worth risking the calorie.
Shaack is located at KG Galaxy, F-36, 2nd Avenue, Anna Nagar East, ph: 26260506

It is in the directory c:\gnuPG (In the secring.gpg).. How does scribe "connect" the username to a given key ? Thanks for any help Thomas |

You should configure which private key to use in the plugins options. If it's not finding the key, set the home dir option to point to the keys. Currently that must be an absolute path, but relitive paths will be supported in the next release. |

Emergency VetThis place was very good to us when we had to make the tough decision to put our Abby to sleep. I was home with the flu and the doctor called me to tell me everything that was going on and even gave us the Ok to bring her home for one more night. She understood what we were going through and made it a tiny bit easier on us. |

dc.description.abstract |
This research presents the development of a phase-based lithographic system for three-dimensional micropatterning and manipulation. The system uses a spatial light modulator (SLM) to display specially designed phase holograms. The use of holograms with the SLM provides a novel approach to photolithography that offers the unique ability to operate in both serial and single-shot modes. In addition to the lithographic applications, the optical system also possesses the capability to optically trap microparticles. New advances include the ability to rapidly modify pattern templates for both serial and single-shot lithography, individually control three-dimensional structural properties, and manipulate Janus particles with five degrees of freedom.

A number of separate research investigations were required to develop the optical system and patterning method. The processes for designing a custom optical system, integrating a computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) platform, and constructing series of phase holograms are presented. The resulting instrument was used primarily for the photonic excitation of both photopolymers and proteins and, in addition, for the manipulation of Janus particles. Defining research focused on the automated fabrication of complex three-dimensional microscale structures based on the virtual designs provided by a custom CAD/CAM interface. Parametric studies were conducted to access the patterning transfer rate and resolution of the system.

The research presented here documents the creation of an optical system that is capable of the accurate reproduction of pre-designed microstructures and optical paths, applicable to many current and future research applications, and useable by anyone interested in researching on the microscale.

I don't keep track of my ovulation and my period is very irregular, but I can tell you that I didn't test positive for the first three weeks with my first two pregnancies. It could just be the tests, going to a doctor or clinic is the best way to find out if you're pregnant. I've had good results with their tests.

I have had nausea, upset stomach, fatigue, veins heavily appearing in chest leading to areola area on breast, sides, legs, and stomach leading to lower abdomen. And alot of cramping as well. I have had heaviness feeling and soreness in breasts, and white creamy discharge for many days. I am now 15dpo and had spotting on 7dpo. As well as two days late on period today. Thanks for any ideas.

Dear Abby: My daughter is getting a divorce from a wonderful young man I've grown very close to. He's away in the service, and he and my daughter have grown apart. He is in Korea and not able to deal with the situation back at home.
He emails me and talks to me on Facebook quite often. When he asks me about my daughter, I am vague. I love him as a son, and I have been crying over this. I'm so upset I'm having migraines. How do I detach from my son-in-law while still being there for my daughter? — Sad Mother-in-law in Texas
Dear Sad M-I-L: Be honest with him. Tell him that while you love him like a son, the present situation with your daughter is causing you so much emotional conflict that it's making you physically ill. Explain you will always be his friend, but that you must distance yourself emotionally somewhat until the divorce is final and he and your daughter have moved further on in their lives. Yours is not a happy situation to be in and you have my sympathy, but your health must come first.
Dear Abby: I work in an educational setting where the emphasis is on accountability, responsibility and being a good role model. I made a terrible decision two years ago and received a DUI while out of town. I'm still ashamed of my choices that night.
I accepted all responsibility and completed the necessary requirements through the courts. However, since then I have dreaded someone at work finding out and losing the job I love. Do I talk to my HR department or confess to my supervisor? Or do I just keep it to myself and hope no one finds out? — Still Paying the Price in Michigan
Dear Still Paying: If you're involved in education, then you may be a member of a union. Instead of discussing this with HR, have a chat about it with your union representative. Because you have accepted responsibility for the incident and have completed the requirements of the court, I doubt your job is in jeopardy, and your union rep may be able to give you some peace of mind.
If you have no union representation, keep it to yourself. I see nothing to be gained by blabbing about this to your co-workers.
Dear Abby: While driving the streets and highways, we communicate in many ways with our fellow commuters. We can wave, give a "thumbs up," lay on the horn or, in slow traffic, shout out the window with curses or blessings. More often than not, a "single-finger salute" is flashed in anger, and that sometimes turns into road rage.
Instead, we should drive the same way our lives should be lived — with compassion, consideration, attention and awareness of our fellow travelers. When we make mistakes, we should be repentant and signal an "I'm sorry."
Abby, I'm at a loss for a hand signal for "I'm sorry." Any suggestions? — Mild-Mannered Motorist in Virginia
Dear Mild-Mannered: Living in a city known for its heavy traffic, I can relate from personal observation that many drivers commit moving violations, and an equal number simply make mistakes while behind the wheel. Even I have done this. While I'm sure my helpful readers will step forward to volunteer suggestions for an "I'm sorry" signal, what I have done when the person pulls up next to me and we're stopped, is raise both hands (palms up) and say, "I'm sorry!" The shame on my face conveys the message.

I am a future lawyer. My hobbies include cooking, international travel, yoga, photography, and health.
Hua has completed online and offline ID verification.
The reservation was canceled 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The location is great. Right by Downtown Crossing and Park T stations. The space has potential, but looks nothing like the photos. There is a double bed in front of a Murphy bed, so possible to have 2 doubles. There is a new Eams chair and ottoman, but the rest of the furniture (a bar stool, reclining chair, desk, and desk chair) look like they were street-shopped. The floor was quite dirty. I was going to sweep, but there was no broom to be found. The kitchen area was not clean...dirty blender and dried food residue on the fridge handle...yuck. I paid less than the current rate, so I was ok (considering it was marathon weekend. If I had paid $260 I'd be quite disappointed.
My husband and I stayed at the Downtown loft for 2 nights in March 2013. Hua was very quick at communicating with us about our stay. She was also flexible with check-in and check-out times which we appreciated. The loft is in the perfect location for the Theater district and we walked to lots of bars and restaurants and Fanueil Hall easily. We were happily surprised to find 2 queen size beds that were very comfy. Unfortunately, though, the pictures on the website show a couch and a dining table which were definitely not there. There was no where to sit except on the beds. We had a very busy visit in Boston, so we dealt with it ok, but if we had our kids with us, there would have been nowhere for them to sit or eat. There was also no TV, even though the ad says that there is cable- I guess you have to bring your own TV. Security of the building was good and the loft itself was nice and quiet. If Hua fixes the photos on the website, then people will know better what to expect. I hope she does. One added note: We mistakenly left 2 shirts hanging in a closet, and I mailed Hua some $ for postage, and she quickly mailed the shirts back to us in CT. They were expensive label items and we really appreciated getting them back!
The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The reservation was canceled 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Great location, flexible and responsive host, but bare bones accommodation for the price (the host said she was in the process of moving out). The apartment has two clean and comfortable full-size beds but little else (TV, desk, unshaded lamp, chair that has seen better days, one barstool). It was not ready until an hour after we arrived, although Hua did allow us to drop our bags and use the facilities. We did not inspect or use the building's shared facilities since we were staying only one night. Adequate as a place to sleep, but cluttered and without charm.
The apt was not very clean. But located conveniently and no problem with check-in/ check-out
There were no response (phone, email, voice message) by the host after I got into the apartament.
Perfect location close to the mile. Large clean apartment and building has excellent facilities. Hua was helpful and flexible on check in?
I staid here for 6 nights. Hua nicely showed me the apart and the building facilities that included a gym, swimming pool, tennis court, and a laundry. The apart is on 32 level, you have a nice view of Chicago skycrapers. Overall, it was a confortable stay, I will come back again.
Hua stayed with us for two nights while she wrote the Bar exam in Boston. She is a pleasant person and easy to get along with. She was very busy preparing for her exams so we didn't interact with her that much but we would welcome her back again. I can highly recommend Hua as a guest!
We enjoyed hosting Hua during her stay in San Francisco! We would definitely host her again if she return!
Hua was an excellent guest--considerate, easygoing, and extremely respectful.

The following day, three Moroccans and two Indians were arrested, with a number of clues—such as a cassette tape with verses of the Koran in a white Renault Kangoo van in Alcala de Henares—that pointed to al-Qaeda, or at least an Islamist involvement.
Again the people of Madrid took to the streets, mainly congregating on Puerta del Sol, where there are a number of government buildings. This time the mood was not so peaceful. The crowd on Puerta del Sol chanted and bashed bottles and dustbin lids in a demonstration of anger towards Aznar. Meanwhile, people gathered in unofficial demonstrations in front of PP (Partido Popular) offices in all the major cities in Spain.
The demonstrations of the 13th of March were allegedly invoked via spontaneous cell phone messages ending in the phrase "pásalo" (pass it on). The candidate of the governing conservative party, Mariano Rajoy, complained on television about the demonstrations and demanded that the opposition parties condemn them. On behalf of the Socialist party, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba gave a message saying that "the Spanish people do not deserve a government that lies to them" and that they had neither organized nor supported the demonstrations. According to Spanish electoral law, party-political demonstrations are illegal the day leading up to the election.
Rumours circulated afterwards, and were propagated by film director Pedro Almodóvar, that the government had approached King Juan Carlos and asked him to postpone voting, which the King responded would constitute a coup d'état. Days later, the PP threatened to sue Almodóvar for his comments.
A decree declaring three days of official mourning was issued by the government, and five minutes of silence were observed on Friday. Demonstrations were called for Friday evening in cities across the country, under the motto "With the victims, with the constitution and for the defeat of terrorism". The Catalan government led by Pasqual Maragall also declared official mourning in Catalonia. The government's chosen motto was very criticized by all the opposition because the "with the Constitution" inclusion in the motto implied that the bombs were set by the ETA, while many in the opposition believed that it was made by an Islamic group in retaliation for having Spanish troops in Iraq.
The first government official to make an open public statement was Juan José Ibarretxe Markuartu, head of government in the Basque Country, two hours after the attacks, . He unequivocally blamed ETA and said "When ETA attacks, the Basque heart breaks into a thousand pieces".
In another early public appearance, Interior Minister Acebes pointed in unambiguous terms to ETA, although by the end of the day he said that no line of investigation would be ignored.
The head of the Catalan government Maragall said, "We are all Madrileños today", and continued: "if terrorists intended to divide us, they will have achieved the exact opposite, and the best way to reject terror is to vote on Sunday". Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira of the Catalan nationalist party, the Republican Left of Catalonia, who had recently come under fire for secretly meeting with ETA and advocating dialogue, said he would not communicate with ETA again but someone else should do so to prevent them from committing any more bloodshed. "We thought we had already seen everything, but unfortunately that was not the case", he lamented.
By the time Aznar and the King had made their public statements in the afternoon, doubts over ETA's involvement were substantial enough that both of them avoided naming a culprit, and they referred just to "terrorists". Aznar insisted on the need to stay the course, echoing his Interior Minister's earlier remarks.
Many people suspected that ETA was being blamed in order to hide any al-Qaeda influence, since that could mean the massacre was in response to the Iraq war. According to the Real Instituto Elcano, this could have resulted in the Aznar government losing the Sunday elections.
People across Spain flocked to hospitals and mobile blood donation units in such numbers that the need for blood for transfusions was more than satisfied by 10:30, although continued donations were requested for the coming days. The deceased were moved to IFEMA, the largest convention centre in Madrid, for identification by their relatives.
Riay Tatary Bakry, president of the Union of Muslim Communities in Spain, stated on 1 April 2004 that his organization had no plan to publicly urge mosques to step up their battle against terrorism. He said the union will continue to work privately with government officials.
World leaders were united in their condemnation of the attacks. The United States, United Kingdom, and Russia said the attacks demonstrated the need for a toughened resolve against terrorists. Queen Elizabeth II sent a message of condolence to the Spanish King on behalf of the British people. A PLO/Palestinian National Authority official also condemned the attacks targeting civilians.
U.S. President George W. Bush called Prime Minister Aznar and King Juan Carlos to offer his condolences to the Spanish people and condemn the vicious attack of terrorism. He expressed "our country's deepest sympathies toward those who lost their life...I told them we weep with the families. We stand strong with the people of Spain" The U.S. Senate observed a moment of silence and unanimously passed a resolution expressing outrage and urging President Bush to provide all possible assistance to Spain in pursuing those responsible for the attacks. President Bush led a memorial service at the Spanish ambassador's residence in Washington and gave an interview with a Spanish television network the following day.
European Commission President Romano Prodi called the attack ferocious and senseless The European Parliament observed a minute of silence; its president Pat Cox expressed the parliament's condolences, and a resolution was introduced proposing 11 March as a European Day of Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism. Pope John Paul II condemned the bombings in a message to Catholic church leaders in Spain. Many nations extended offers of material support to the Spanish government. By 17 March, governments around Europe had voiced their concerns that the Spanish government had jeopardized their security by feeding them false information about ETA's involvement. On 17 March 2004, German interior minister Otto Schily called for a special European summit to handle the Madrid bombings. The summit was held on 25-26 March 2004.
The UN Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1530 condemning the bombings. This happened early in the day and, at the request of the Spanish government, the resolution accused ETA unambiguously of being responsible. The resolution condemns in the strongest terms the bomb attack in Madrid, Spain, perpetrated by the terrorist group ETA. After al-Qaeda involvement became clear, Germany and Russia voiced their concern over Spain's hasty assurances and suggested adding the word "allegedly" to the statement. On 15 March, Spain's ambassador to the UN Inocencio Arias submitted an unapologetic letter updating the Security Council on the progress of the investigation, repeating that the Spanish government had the strong conviction that ETA was involved. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said that:"I think there is a lesson here for everybody, including the council members".
The human rights group Amnesty International condemned the attack, saying attacks targeting civilians could never be justified. The organization also pointed out that killing of civilians on such a scale may constitute a crime against humanity
UEFA and the Spanish Government and Football Federation decided that Spanish football teams due to play matches on 11 March and 12 should do so, lest they give the impression that the militants had disrupted normal life, and the teams complied with this decision. Out of respect for the victims, members of Spanish football teams wore black armbands. The Spanish Government and Football Federation asked that all games involving Spanish teams begin with a moment of silence for the victims.
Leaders across the world sent letters of mourning Juan Carlos and Prime Minister José María Aznar. Most EU countries declared 12 March a day of national mourning as a sign of solidarity. There were demonstrations in cities across Europe and the Spanish-speaking world on 12 March, including Brussels, Paris, Lisbon, Helsinki, Geneva, Berlin, Stockholm, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Bogotá.
Cuban President Fidel Castro was more critical, however. Speaking during a television interview on 13 March 2004 in Havana, Castro accused Spain's government of deceiving its citizens over the Madrid train bombings for electoral gain. He went on to assert that Prime Minister José María Aznar had known an Islamic group was behind the explosions on 11 March, but preferred to blame ETA ahead of the general elections just three days away. Germany also condemned Aznar, who had not been told the explosives used were not of the type used by ETA. Otto Schily accused Aznar of not acting responsibly by claiming that the perpetrators were ETA - therefore a national problem - rather than al-Qaeda, which ought to have heightened the threat to other countries.
Germany hastily arranged an urgent meeting of European Union security chiefs on 14 March 2004 as possible al-Qaeda involvement in the Madrid bombings set alarm bells ringing across the world. On the same day, Queen Elizabeth II asked that the Spanish national anthem be played during the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.
The attacks also reawakened fears of terrorism amongst investors, with most European stock markets falling between two and three percent on 11 March. Stocks dropped in London and in New York, with the U.S. Dow Jones Industrial Average diving after speculation of involvement by al-Qaeda. Airline and tourism-related stocks were particularly affected by sharp declines in share prices. In Tokyo, stocks opened sharply lower the next day.
On 15 March, at the request of Irish leader Bertie Ahern, then President of the European Council, all of Europe observed three minutes of silence at noon Central European Time (CET).

A new American Classic.This flashlight redefines the product. Simply ingenious. Congratulations to Harbor Freight Tools - you have arrived ! Every once in a while the "New Kid on the Block" does something that impresses everyone. You did it with this flashlight. My kids will grow up knowing that this is what a flashlight looks like. Not some cylindrical beveled tube with 2 big heavy batteries that always seems to malfunction when you drop it, or worse yet, it rolls away from where you set it. The traditional flashlight design can now take its rightful place next to the corded telephone, the typewriter, the floppy disk and the cassette tape.Innovation + LED + Design + Efficiency + Price = VALUE. Nice product.OK you did it - you created a smashing new product. Hopefully this is just a glint of what you have to come. I cannot wait for your next big product innovation.

I ordered 6 of these because of the great price and versitility. They have no protective packaging and were just thrown in loose with my other ordered items. Some came in with the lights on and the batteries about burned out. I stuck them up on some metal in the garage and one by one they have fallen off their very small but powerful magnets. How heartbreaking because the ones that were not on when they came in gave off awsome light. There seems to be no glue to keep the magnets in place but I am impressed at how strong the magnets are. If these errors were corrected it would be my most favorite flashlight for the money.

LED work light
By Roger
from Iowa
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
These are the most valuable LED work light/flash light I have ever had. I already had six of them and I bought 4 more. I have about 25 other flash lights, literally one in every room of the house and both cars. These are bright, have a hook to hang them up and a strong magnet on the back. I can't say enough positive things. PLUS the price is incrediable too.
super bright and compact

These are often extras tacked on to your order thanks to coupons. I've been known to actually pay for a few because I like them so much (as does my 3 year old). Somehow they all end up lost...again, probably has something to do with the 3 year old. They provide A LOT of light wherever you need it. The hooks come in handy. I used one of these lights when the sun was going down and I was attempting to change spark plugs. It gave me more time before I had to pack up my tools and call it a night. Only downside I can really identify is that the magnetic often falls off. It is merely hot glued on. A little bit of super glue or an added dab of hot glue should fix the problem, if you haven't lost the magnet completely.
nice little worklight

These are inexpensive and put out a great light. There's two modes, both of which are useful, and the magnet and especially the hook are infinitely useful. Makes working in small dark spaces much easier. I got one for everyone in my family.
They work great....Camper Lighting
By Jack
from Kingston, Pa
I have a camper on a lake in Canada that operates on a 12 volt a deep cycle battery during the night...Alone with 45 W/solar panel from H/F which will recharge the battery during the day if the sun shines...That said sometimes it will rain for 3-4 days leaving me without lights due too each bulb draws 15 watts....I got 9 lights "Free" , ganged 3 into each light, wire them into my 12 volt system and I never had that problem again....I now have the brightest camper on the lake.....
best flashlight I ever got !!!!

got1 for free,like it so much, I bought 1 for my grand daughter when she bought her 1st car, for safety as she drives about 30 miles each week end, plan on buying more.
Super bright lights!
By Eman2112
from River Ridge, La.
I'm sure this voids any type of warranty these little lights may have. I am using six of these little gems in my Halloween light show. I took the batteries out and soldered in two wires to run to a relay board supplying 5 volts to the lights. While the three AAA's only supply 4.5v, they can handle 5v. These things are so bright that you can barely look at them for a second. But using them for only a second at a time, I light up the house like lighting.

Are The Rays Currently in Ghost Protocol Mode?
On Wall Street, the Trades and Acquisitions Department of large investment firm have the covert mentality of the CIA and other branches of International intrigue that use initials. Knowledge is power, and with that, secrecy and the movements under that umbrellas come at a premium.
So far this Winter we have heard and seen some of the clandestine targets and near misses of the Tampa Bay Rays, who operate under their own initialed powerful and might organization, the MLB, has taken the art form of gliding amongst the darkened halls with silent whispers to a new level. As we have learned in the past, the Rays have a circle of trust within its Fourth floor domain that no constants, syllable or even grown are visualized or voiced when the always alert media comes a-callin' with trade rumors and whispers in the wind.
Some moves might be counter-moves, made to seem directed towards a general target, but suddenly change direction, showing a more devious and unimagined alternative plan. Take the recent movement by the Rays to get the services of free agent outfielder Coco Crisp. That's right, the same Crispy critter who almost walked into a James Shields hay maker in 2008 that might have shattered Shield's pitching hand.
Who in their right Rays mind could have seen this one coming? Of course Crisp decided he like to stay on his dock by the bay and rejected the Rays advances. We know Crisp and Shields have buried their hatchet, but have all the bad blood been drained within the Rays Republic in regards to Crisp? That, my friends is blowing in the wind now, and great fodder for Happy Hour discussions. But the outfielder chatter did not stop with the Coco one, there was another attempt, or stab at Seth Smith, and adequate fielder and hitter in his own right to possibly be a Plan B to the Crisp covert ops.
But you got to ask of there is a problem within the Rays outfield we do not see, or are we possibly looking 4-moves behind the mind right now of Rays Executive VP of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. I was content to think we might see Desmond Jennings in Right field this season trading spots with Matt Joyce who I thought made his presence known for the full-time gig, even against southpaws. I had come to terms my myself that B J Upton might wear a question mark on his uniform instead of the # 2 this season as his tenure in Rays Center field is more rental than lease with an option to buy. Was starting to think someone named Damon might have the only true answer.
The moves towards Crisp and Smith have me wondering just how much confidence the Rays have in Sam Fuld, Brandon Guyer or even Justin Ruggiano to be that 4th asset in the OF puzzle…or if their own Rays existence is also under the microscope as possible trade fodder? It is almost as if I should think of 20 of the 25 names on the Rays roster not named Matt Moore, Jeremy Hellickson, Joel Peralta, Evan Longoria or Ben Zobrist are stapled to the Trop turf, but everyone else is up for discussion at some point. And now comes internal gossip the Rays might not have held onto Smith if they had signed him, but used him as more enticing bait for another morsel….How quickly the tides turn in Tampa Bay.
But that is what the Winter Hot Stove season is all about right? Making the waters boil and seeing who rises to the top of the pile and who settles to the bottom, possibly there until the late July Trade Deadline timetable. Early this Winter we had the Ivan Rodriguez, Josh Willingham, Carlos Beltran and finally an afterthought of a Anthony Rizzo acquisition spinning in our head's before the new year. Sometimes I wish I had a mouse with a lipstick camera or a house fly with a video feed to give me something tangible and substantial to write about before it hits the general airwaves.
I'm beginning to think we need to contact the modern Sherlock Holmes I saw on BBC the other night, he sees in that altered universe realm, and can be perfectly comfortable thinking 6-8 moves ahead of the rest of us mortals. For some reason I think a MI-6 License to Kill might be easier to obtain than a Rays trade whisper. Sure there are still cracks in the Rays armor, but it is in the field personnel and not on the front office lines. Questions abound around the infield now with the Rays inquest towards trying to secure Brooks Conrad and Ryan Theriot.
I had the notion to think it might be a slip up, a showing of their cards that possibly Sean Rodriguez is penciled in at Shortstop and Second in a platoon, and Zobrist again will carry at least 5 gloves to every Rays contest. I thought for a moment I might have cracked a hidden code, possibly being 1-move ahead of the pack with the Rays inquiring about Conrad and Theriot, but their talents were to be as bit players not starters in the proposed Maddon 2012 Tour. Foiled again just when I thought I had inched forward with something of substance again left with poached egg on my grill.
But one day. Ahhh, one day someone will crack the code, bring about the wheeling and dealing to the surface, not with the realm of full disclosure, but with hints, smatterings of intel and possibly make us all giddy again about what really lies behind the Rays Carolina Blue curtains. But I am left right now with the pure facts I will never be in the Rays circle of trust, never be an intricate part of the Rays always unfolding covet machine, finally realizing with crystal clear clarity my best guesses at trades are just those…guesses.
I guess I will have to be content that the powers that be that invisibly move within the 4th Floor sanctum is hard at work making the Rays a better oiled machine. A more precise instrument to take into the 182 battles that make up an MLB season. That I can sleep better at night knowing Friedman is out there somewhere already in work mode to answer those question we have not even asked yet. Still, the Ryan Madson rumors have me curious….I wonder if there is a motorized mouse online I can buy, or what time is it in London?
Love Me Non-Tender Candidates 2008…Part Two
As they leave the bright lights and glitter of Las Vegas tonight, the decisions and the problems of the 30 MLB General Managers and their respective departments are not over. Even if they are flying in luxury accomodations, the GM's and their staff know that the next 24 hours can also make or break a season by selecting the right players to help the squad in 2009. For tomorrow bring more sticky situations to try and either keep or jettison players who might make a difference in 2009.
So in the morning on this Friday, December 12th, every team in the major leagues must decide to either tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players, or set them free as more glut in the 2009 free agent market. And while in past years the non-tendered players weren't considered to be difference-makers, the list could be more interesting this year. There are several players on this list who either had bad situation on their teams or might have been fighting back from injuries in 2008.
Players who are "tendered" on Friday are considered signed for 2009 at a salary to be determined, not less than 80 percent of his salary the previous season, and both sides continue negotiating. If a deal cannot be struck, the team and the player will each file a proposed 2009 salary in early January. Those figures are exchanged on Jan. 19, and a date for a salary arbitration hearing is then set for Feb. 1-21.
If the sides still cannot come to terms before the date of the hearing, a representative for the team and one for the player present a case before a panel of arbiters, which chooses one salary or the other. On the other hand, if a player is not tendered a contract before Friday's deadline, he becomes a free agent.
A nationwide economic downturn has affected how Major League Baseball teams are conducting business, and in an effort to cut corners, the number of non-tendered players could increase, based solely on the market's projected rise in their salaries based on arbitration data and past results.. The same can be said for the quality of those players. Some of the guys being considered for non-tender have been great contributors to their teams in the past, but not during the 2008 season.
Past players non-tendered include David Ortiz, Rick Ankiel, Ryan Franklin, David Eckstein, and Chad Durbin. Usually at least a few useful guys are unearthed. I am going to submit a few names that are being considered to be non-tendered starting at midnight tonight. Some of these names might sign free agent contracts with their old teams, but usually if a player is released from that team, they tend to float to another organization instead of resign with their old clubs.
The Toronto Blue Jays will have to make decision on four of their players on Friday as to if they are being considered as future pieces to the Blue Jays picture in 2009. General manager J.P. Ricciardi said this week that Jason Frasor, Brian Tallet, Brandon League and Jose Bautista are all likely to receive an offer. Ricciardi noted that Frasor, Tallet and League are all in the plans to rejoin Toronto's bullpen, which led baseball with a 2.94 ERA this past season.
Of the three relievers, Frasor is the most likely to not receive an offer, considering he's due for a raise after making $1.125 million in 2008 and the Jays are strapped for cash this winter. Last season, the 31-year-old Frasor posted a 4.18 ERA in 49 games for the Blue Jays, serving as a middle reliever. Across 47 1/3 innings, the right hander struck out 42 batters and issued 32 walks. Frasor limited hitters to a .208 batting average, including a .174 mark against right-handed batters.
The 31-year-old Tallet, who earned $640,000 in his first year of arbitration in 2008, established a career best with a 2.88 ERA last season. The left hander appeared in 51 games and registered 47 strikeouts against 22 walks over 56 1/3 innings. Tallet was especially tough on right-handed hitters, holding them to a .230 average.
League, 25, is eligible for arbitration for the first time this off season after making $400,000 in 2008. Last season, the hard-throwing right hander posted a career-best 2.18 ERA out of the bullpen, with 23 strikeouts and 15 walks in 31 appearances. In his 33 innings, League had a 3.71 groundball to flyball ratio and limited right-handed hitters to a .200 average. The Blue Jays acquired the 28-year-old Bautista in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates in late August and the utility man appeared in 21 games for Toronto down the stretch. Overall, Bautista hit .238 with 15 home runs and 54 RBIs in 128 games with the Pirates and Jays in '08, when he earned $1.8 million.
Another ex-Rays has popped up on the non-tender candidates list coming into Friday night's deadline to offer contracts to arbitration eligible players. The Braves aren't sure exactly how Matt Diaz fits into their plans for the 2009 season, but the veteran outfielder can at least feel good about the fact that he seemingly fits into these plans.
Among the group of Braves who are eligible for arbitration, Diaz, who missed most of this past season because of a torn ligament in his right knee, was seemingly the only candidate to be non-tendered by Friday's midnight ET deadline. But all indications are that the Braves are looking forward to having a healthy Diaz on their roster. He could platoon in left field or simply provided a reliable right-handed bat off the bench. Diaz, Mike Gonzalez, Casey Kotchman, Jeff Francoeur, Kelly Johnson and Omar Infante are the arbitration-eligible players expected to be tendered contracts by the Braves on Friday.
The Dodgers face a handful of non-tender decisions by Friday night's deadline, with the focus . Takashi Saito. He is arbitration eligible, but only if the Dodgers tender him a contract. And even though he's the highest-rated reliever in the National League over the past two years, the club might effectively release Saito, who missed two months with an elbow injury.
Money isn't the burning issue for the Marlins as they approach the non-tender deadline. If they want, they have the allocation to sign all 10 of their remaining arbitration-eligible players. The team must decide if it wants to retain everyone, or pursue other options.
In all, Florida has 10 arbitration-eligible players who must be either tendered a contract or not. The list includes much of the team's nucleus: Dan Uggla, Jorge Cantu, Cody Ross, Jeremy Hermida, Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco, Alfredo Amezaga, Logan Kensing, Joe Nelson and Dallas McPherson. Of the group, the possible non-tenders appear to be Nelson and McPherson.
Uggla, Cantu, Ross, Hermida and Amezaga are position players who will be tendered. Now, the Marlins are continuing to explore possible trades for Hermida. Johnson and Nolasco are the leading candidates to be the Opening Day starter. Kensing and Nelson are right hander relievers.
Baseball's non-tender deadline should come and go on Friday night without consequence for the Mets, whose arbitration-eligible players will play significant roles on the team in 2009. But the Mets have little reason not to retain their eligible players: Ryan Church, John Maine, Pedro Feliciano, Duaner Sanchez and Jeremy Reed.
Church, 30, hit .276 with 12 home runs in 90 games last season, his first with the Mets. He was the team's most productive hitter until a concussion sidelined him in May and created a series of lingering effects that plagued him for the rest of the season. Church, who agreed to a $2 million contract to avoid arbitration last off season, will enter Spring Training as the starting right fielder.
Maine, 27, is expected to be the third pitcher in a starting rotation that also includes Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey. Coming off right shoulder surgery that prematurely ended his season, Maine will be arbitration-eligible for the first time. Feliciano, 32, produced a 4.05 ERA and two saves last season as one of the Mets' two primary left-handed relievers. He also avoided arbitration last season by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1.025 million.
Reed, 27, is the outfielder the Mets received as part of the 12-player trade Wednesday that also landed them Putz. He is expected to assume Endy Chavez's role as a fourth outfielder.
Sanchez, 29, will begin his second full season since missing a year and a half after two surgeries on his pitching shoulder. General manager Omar Minaya has said publicly that he expects Sanchez to be more successful this season, especially now that the presence of Francisco Rodriguez and J.J. Putz will allow him to pitch earlier in games.
Pitchers Shawn Hill, Scott Olsen and Tim Redding, outfielders Willie Harris and Josh Willingham and third baseman Ryan Zimmerman must be offered contracts by Washington or they will become free agents. Entering the Winter Meetings, the Nationals had to make decisions on seven players, but the club released reliever Jesus Colome on Wednesday.
He appeared in 61 games and had a 4.31 ERA while being used as a setup man last season. As for the rest of the players, Olsen, Redding, Harris, Willingham and Zimmerman most likely will be offered contracts. However, Hill will be a tough decision. He has had elbow problems the past four years in Washington and has pitched in a combined 34 games.
The White Sox are expected to tender contracts to Bobby Jenks and DeWayne Wise prior to Friday night's 11 p.m. CT deadline for all arbitration-eligible players. This duo stands as the only two arbitration-eligible players on the team's 40-man roster.
Jenks, 27, could earn 10 times more than his $550,000 salary for 2008 if he goes through the arbitration process, having emerged as one of the game's steadiest closers. Despite being attached to a great deal of Hot Stove trade talk deemed by general manager Ken Williams as "just rumor and innuendo," the burly right hander enters the 2009 season as the second-fastest pitcher to reach 100 saves in Major League history. Jenks accomplished this feat in just 187 games, trailing only Kazuhiro Sasaki's total of 160.
Wise had a rags-to-riches story in 2008. Independent baseball in New Jersey looked to be his season-long vocation, until Minor League director Buddy Bell, who knew Wise from their days together with the Reds, encouraged the White Sox to bring the 30-year-old veteran into Minor League Spring Training.
Wise ended up becoming an outfield starter against primarily right-handed pitchers during the final two weeks of the season, replacing the injured Carlos Quentin, and hit .248 with six home runs, 18 RBIs and nine stolen bases over 57 games. Wise also hit the White Sox first postseason home run in the American League Division Series against the Rays.

According to Zanfer Promotions, WBA world flyweight champion Hernán "Tyson" Marquez (34-2, 25KOs) will challenge the flyweight king of the WBO, Brian ¨Hawian Punch¨ Vilora (31-3, 18KOs), on a tentative date of September 29 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
Marquez is not very satisfied with his close split decision victory over Filipino Fernando Lumacad, which took place this past Saturday.
"I felt a lot of pain in the right ankle from the third round on. Lumacad did not want to fight, and he stayed far away and his sole intention was to finish the fight standing. I could not cut him off," Marquez said.
"The fight against Lumacad gave me a good idea that 115-pounds is not yet my ideal weight, so I'll remain a little longer at 112-pounds. I plan to challenge Viloria in September. Viloria is tough, but his style is good for me because Viloria loves to fight."
Marquez will soon meet with his team to work out a strategy for training and then he plans to begin his next camp on August 5th.

This special issue came out of the inspiration, discussions and US-UK collaborations in the first Cornell consortia for Writing in the Disciplines (WiD). The two facets of WiD that had particular resonance for us were that disciplinary knowledge is *created*, not merely *communicated*, in disciplinary writing and therefore should be taught in writing-intensive courses taught by disciplinary, not 'writing' experts. And secondly that all writers in the discipline are part of a potentially transformational community of discourse: students, doctoral, adjuncts and senior Faculty alike. This issue comes out of that WiD vision, with WiD and Speech in the Disciplines fora from the Ivy League Dartmouth College, Queen Mary and University Colleges, London University and concluding with Roth's coda 'beyond writing', questioning the disciplinary centrality of writing itself in an era of fast-changing communications.
