Maoists on Wednesday fired on a patrolling party killing a policeman and blew up tracks disrupting rail service in Dhanbad district as the 24-hour Jharkhand bandh called by the banned CPI(Maoist) got underway in the state.
The bandh which began at midnight on Tuesday is in protest against reported arrest of Maoist cadres in neighbouring Odisha.
One policeman was killed and 15 others were injured when the Maoists opened fire on a patrolling party at Topchanchi near Grand Trunk road in Dhanbad district, about 210 km from here, Divisional Commander of the Railway Protection Force Shashi Kumar said.
He said the injured were admitted to a hospital in Dhanbad.
The rebels blasted railway tracks near Tetulmari in Dhanbad district, disrupting railway services for over six hours, he said and added the tracks were repaired around 7.30 am.
The Maoists also blew up the building of Hehegarha railway station and blasted a stretch of railway lines near the station in Latehar district, about 100 km from Ranchi, he added.

State Lawmakers Push Crackdown on Cancer-Causing Radon
Lawmakers in at least three states are combatting what public health experts call the "silent killer" — radon, an invisible, odorless gas that that seeps into buildings through cracked walls and foundations.
Bills filed in Iowa and Nebraska, and a proposal taking shape in Utah aim to reduce people's exposure to the gas, the second-leading cause of lung cancer behind tobacco. Radon kills about 21,000 people each year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The state efforts come as health advocates push to bolster a patchwork of randon laws they say has raised public awareness but still comes up short, and as states fear federal help will face the budget axe.
"We've got to get smart about this preventable problem," says Matt McCoy, an Iowa state senator. "Our hope is that more people will become aware of it and start testing."
Last week, McCoy introduced a bill that would require testing in all schools, something few states require. It is similar to legislation introduced in the U.S. House by Bruce Braley of Iowa. That proposal is backed by the American Cancer Society.
Compared to other states, Iowans face the highest risk for exposure to radon, which is released as bits of uranium decay in the soil. About 70 percent homes in the state — including McCoy's — register levels above the threshold the EPA considers most dangerous, 4 picocuries per liter. The Democrat says his house recorded average readings of 11.75, and that he will soon install a mitigation system.
Under his legislation, schools that twice test at or above 4.0 would be required to mitigate. That could involve simply tweaking ventilation, or installing a radon remediation system that could cost between $3,000 and $20,000.
Currently, some schools voluntarily test, but many don't. Health advocates expect some administrators fear they will be pressured to spend money following positive tests. To ease that burden, McCoy proposes to set up a $1 million matching grant program.
Rick Welke, who heads Iowa's radon program, says added testing and mitigation is a good thing, but schools could face issues finding contractors who can install the complicated systems they would require. Though Iowa has plenty of qualified contractors for homes, he says, few "really know what they're doing," when it comes to large buildings. Also, he says, schools might struggle to meet deadlines in the legislation, because accurately testing those buildings takes extra time.
Across the border, Nebraska Senator Bob Krist has proposed legislation that would require all new construction to be radon resistant, in an attempt to reverse a trend across the country that worries radon experts: the rate of new, unprotected homes being built is outpacing those that are treated.
"It's time to take this issue head on and deal with it in our homes. And the best way to start is with new residential construction," Krist told KWBE Radio.
Though Nebraska's radon problem is less severe than Iowa's, it still has plenty of danger spots, particularly near its border with Iowa. Under Krist's legislation, Nebraska would join seven states that have enacted similar requirements — most recently Illinois, which passed legislation last year. Realtors typically lobby against such measures.
Meanwhile, in Utah, which has no radon rules at all, a lawmaker is developing a wide-ranging proposal to encourage mitigation, according to KSL.com in Salt Lake City.
As those efforts unfold in legislatures, states are monitoring Washington, hoping that a small EPA program that grants money for testing and awareness campaigns survives the budget debate. That $8 million is guaranteed through September. If it is cut, radon efforts in some states could vanish completely, state officials say.

Sandton, South Africa
"Magical for children and adults alike"
The tales of famous African folklore was brought to life by the actors and actresses that took part in the narration. It was awesome to listen to these stories as if each and every Holloywood narrator were reading it to me and only me at bedtime.
The variety of folk tales that span the entire African continent and not just South Africa.
Alan Rickman's and Whoopi Goldberg's narration stood out for me.
"Classic Anne Rice novel!"
No, I think both complement each other. The rpint version lends itself to create an aura of what one would consider Lestat whereas the narrator of the audiobook puts his own spin on bringing the character to life for us.
No books can compare to this wonderous tale of wunderlust and everything else in between. I did see myself drawing comparisons of Lestat and his personality to characters like Duncan McLeod, the Highlander and the Crow.
He brought the tale to life.
Yes, the scene in the crypt with Akasha and Akil, and Marcus.
The violin transitions in the audiobook deserve to be toned down a bit so you can better engage your listening of the narrator and the tale. It could sometimes be very verbose and distracting.
"My all-time Favourite Anne Rice story"
Riveting, fantastical and sumptuous.
I would make a comparison on the way Rice captures the age and time of Paris, New York and the ol' South to the way Dicken describes it in his 'Tale of Two Cities'.
I think the narrator was great.
Louis, but of course. His character reveals itself in its true form throughout the book and its his emotional tale that pulls at the heart strings in this first installment in the trilogy.

that this might be the prophet whom the Jews expected and considered that it would be politic to anticipate them and to secure him for their side. So it came to pass that they listened to Muhammad, believed in him and accepted Islam. In reply to Muhammad's request for protection at Madina they pointed out that, as there was much disunion and discord amongst them, it would be better for them to return now and to invite the people to accept the faith and that, if God united them in it, they would then return to Mecca at the next annual pilgrimage and report the result.1 According to Jalalu'd-Din as-Syuti, Muhammad related to these converts the Sura Yusuf (Joseph), noted as being the only one in which only one subject is treated of throughout. The people of Madina knew something about Joseph from their Jewish neighbours, and now Muhammad repeats it to them in full detail to show that knowledge of the past was given to him by God. The whole account is a travesty of the Mosaic account and bears the mark of having been received at second-hand from ignorant persons, acquainted only with the loose traditional stories. During the year the small body of converts in Madina stood firm and, when the time for the pilgrimage came round again, there were twelve Ansar 2 amongst the Madina pilgrims. They met the Prophet and took the following oath of obedience to Muhammad and his teaching
'We will not worship any but the One God: we will not steal, neither will we commit adultery, nor
kill our children; we will not slander in anywise; and we will not disobey the Prophet in anything that is right.' This is known as the ' First pledge of 'Aqaba,' and, as it contained no promise to defend the Prophet, it is called the ' Pledge of Women,' as being the only one women ever took. They then returned to Madina as ardent disciples, and such large numbers attached themselves to the new teaching that they had to send to Mecca to get a special instructor. Mus'ab 1 was sent and Islam then took root in Madina. The year was one of patient waiting. The Prophet evidently despaired of making any further progress at Mecca. His hopes were placed on his new converts. at Madina. He determined to leave the Quraish severely alone and received in the last but one Sura revealed in Mecca definite instructions to do so:
Follow that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord: there is no god but He, and retire from the idolaters. If God had so desired, they had not followed idolatry, and we have not made thee a keeper over them, neither art thou over them a guardian. And revile not those whom they invoke besides God, lest they revile God in enmity from lack of knowledge. Sura Al-An'am (vi) 106-8.
But if there was now no aggressive work carried on, there was no lack of confidence in the ultimate result and in the full assurance of victory over the obstinate inhabitants of Mecca. Thus:
The unbelieving (nations) said to their apostles, ' We will surely expel you from our land, or ye shall

Savage Beast (A1)
Noam Wasserman; LP Maurice
For several months, things had been spiraling downwards at Savage Beast, the music-recommendation company started three years before by Tim Westergren. The company's founder-CEO recently left due to pressures both at home and within the venture. Dozens of investors turned thumbs-down on the venture; salaries had been cut, and tensions had risen within the founding team. Now Westergren, the founder who has taken over as CEO, is facing even deeper pressures as he finds out about a lawsuit filed by former employees, and he is wondering if it is time to give up on ever achieving his vision. Note: The content of this version is the same as the content in the Savage Beast (A) case (809-069) but includes two directives in the text to students. At the end of page 8, the student is asked to pause and complete a one-question poll. The "page-8" poll asks, "At this point, should Tim persist in trying to build Savage Beast?" Yes or No, and why. At the end of the case, the student is asked to complete a second poll. The "end-of-case" poll asks, "Should Tim persist in trying to build Savage Beast?" Yes or No, and why. If you do not have polling capabilities, you should use the Savage Beast (A) case.
Learning objective:
To examine the pros and cons of building a founding team with a very clear division of labor, and to explore the roller-coaster ride that entrepreneurs experience while trying to build their ventures.

Is Belief in Natural Law An "Embarrassment?" JB
Kevin Drum opines that Justice Thomas is an embarrassment because he believes in a natural law theory of the Constitution. Thomas Kannawitter, by contrast, argues that Thomas is a great Justice because he believes in a natural law underlying the Constitution that comes from God and that does not change.
I don't think that one's position on natural law matters one way or the other about whether one is doing one's job as a judge well or badly. The real question, it seems to me, is what you think natural law ideas mean for Constitutional interpretation as a practical matter.
Kannawitter seems to assume that belief in natural law is the same thing as belief in original understanding which is belief in the conservative opinions that Justice Thomas espouses, and he further assumes that disbelief in natural law (which he equates, mistakenly with legal realism) is equivalent to belief in a living constitution, which is equivalent to belief in lefty positions on constitutional issues.
He is wrong to assume this. It's quite possible to take the view that the best interpretation of the Constitution is one that which comports with natural law, and that the Framers' understandings are defective, because the Framers supported a wide variety of practices that are inconsistent with natural justice. Similarly, it's entirely possible to believe in natural law and in the idea that the application of moral principles must change with changing circumstances, and hence, that the best interpretation of the Constitution must also change accordingly. Finally, it's possible to be a legal realist about the mechanics of judging-- that is, that judicial decision is inevitably influenced by surrounding historical, political, and social conditions, and that judges are sensitive to underlying facts rather to abstract doctrinal formulas-- and still believe that the best interpretation of the Constitution is one which conforms to one's notion of what natural law requires.
So if Clarence Thomas is, indeed, an "embarrassment," or, to the contrary, a great jurist, it's not because he (a) believes or does not believe in natural law; (b) embraces or rejects legal realism; (c) adheres or does not adhere to original understanding as the touchstone of all constitutional interpretation; or (d) believes that the best interpretation of the Constitution changes or doesn't change over time. For all of these positions can be held (and have been held) by constitutional interpreters with very different political views.
Having seen his work over the course of more than a decade, I have no reason to think that Thomas is appreciably better or worse in terms of his lawyerly skills than many other Justices who have sat on the Supreme Court. The positions he takes are often quite striking, almost to the point of being "off-the-wall," but sometimes ideas once thought "off-the-wall" become orthodoxy later on depending on how the political winds blow. If I have an objection to him, it is that his constitutional vision is very different from mine, and so I think he interprets the Constitution in ways that lead to very unjust and uncalled for results. I think his arguments are often wrong and his assumptions misguided, but that does not make him an embarrassment. It makes him a powerful person who is using his power to move the law in what I consider to be the wrong direction. I would oppose appointing more Justices to the Supreme Court who agreed with him not because they believed in natural law, or original understanding, or disagreed with legal realism, but because they would be likely to push the practical meaning of the Constitution in very unjust and inappropriate directions.
Thomas is an embarassment for the same reason the early 20th century natural law jurists were embarassments: as soon as their formalist ideologies conflicted with their political views, the formalism vanished.
"General propositions do not decide concrete cases. The decision will depend on a judgment or intuition more subtle than any articulate major premise. But I think that the proposition just stated, if it is accepted, will carry us far toward the end. Every opinion tends to become a law. I think that the word liberty in the Fourteenth Amendment is perverted when it is held to prevent the natural outcome of a dominant opinion, unless it can be said that a rational and fair man necessarily would admit that the statute proposed would infringe fundamental principles as they have been understood by the traditions of our people and our law." Could the same not be said about Thomas in Grutter v. Bollinger? Years of originalism and yet not a single word on the race-affirmative measures clearly intended by the Congress which adopted the 14th Amendment, but instead pious quoting of Frederick Douglass. Bush v. Gore, as I'm sure I don't have to remind you, is yet another example. Years of formalism and federalism, and suddenly the Supreme Court is fine-tuning the intent of the Florida legislature to match their expectations. Non-formalist judges, whether pragmatic or of another philosophy, do not have this problem. Does that mean they refrain from interjecting their politics into their decisions? Not necessary--but the damage when, say, Breyer goes with an arguably less efficient outcome is far less than when Scalia openly contradicts his own philosophy. The former results in questionable caselaw; the latter undermines public confidence in the rule of law and results in an incomprehensible, arbitrary constitution.
What is natural law? How well is natural law defined? What are its sources? Has natural law evolved over the centuries? Who determines today what constitutes natural law? The Oxford Handbook of Jurisprudence & Philosophy of Law edited by Coleman and Shapiro starts off with John Finnis' "Natural Law: The Classical Tradition" followed by Brian Bix's "Natural Law: The Modern Traditions". Can these chapters be relied upon for an understanding of natural law? Or are there other readily available resources defining what is natural law? I feel like I am in the middle of a course on Hermeneutics. Do we start with the Declaration of Independence in considering natural law as underlying the Constitution, whether as coming from God or otherwise? Or perhaps the Old and New Testaments? Where is Justice Holmes when we need him?

Where is Justice Holmes when we need him?
Natural law means certain self-evident Truths, grounded in nature and ascertainable by man's reason, unaided by Revelation. Some of these are that we have certain unalienable rights: life, liberty, property, equality, conscience, the pursuit of happiness.
There are different understandings of what natural law is. Many would argue that Finnis's is biased towards a Thomistic, hence a Catholic viewpoint, whereas our Founders represented more of an Enlightenment understanding that attempted to break with the traditional Christian understanding of nature. The God part is played up a little too much. "Nature's God" may have given the rules, but they are ascertainable wholly by man's Reason, not by Revelation. That deserves to be stressed.
Natural law need not be 'self-evident' though the Declaration does speak of self-evident truths. One view that seemed to me interesting is that "natural rights" are those that arise from our natures.
Anyway, it bears noting that Justice Stevens view of the Due Process Clause references "liberty" not coming from the state only, but a higher source. For instance, his dissent in MEACHUM v. FANO: "If man were a creature of the State, the analysis would be correct. But neither the Bill of Rights nor the laws of sovereign States create the liberty which the Due Process Clause protects. The relevant constitutional provisions are limitations on the power of the sovereign to infringe on the liberty of the citizen. The relevant state laws either create property rights, or they curtail the freedom of the citizen who must live in an ordered society. Of course, law is essential to the exercise and enjoyment of individual liberty in a complex society. But it is not the source of liberty, and surely not the exclusive source. I had thought it self-evident that all men were endowed by their Creator with liberty as one of the cardinal unalienable rights. It is that basic freedom which the Due Process Clause protects, rather than the particular rights or privileges conferred by specific laws or regulations." He reaffirmed this thought in later cases and articles. What follows from this principle is unclear, though it might suggest a libertarian viewpoint that Justice Thomas does now and again suggest is different from the views of Justice Scalia. See, e.g., Troxel v. Granville (parental rights).
The characterization that Justice Thomas could somehow be an "embarrassment" to someone depends on who the someone might be. I suppose his mother, his constitutional law professor and the President who appointed him to the Supremes might legitimately claim a right to be either embarrassed or alternatively made proud by his professional performance. The rest of us don't fall into that category. So it would seem odd to apply that term except that in our racially permeated society, black people are burdened with the expectations of white people that they perform a certain way. Many a Supreme has been a lesser judicial light than the pantheon of great justices. I am not embarrassed by Justice Thomas. I am afraid of him and the cohort of gender biased judges and legislators of which he is a member. That is quite a different characterization.

I have been impressed by your attention to cleanliness and courtesy most of all. Keep up the good work.
White Fillings � Composite bonding White Fillings White fillings are fillings designed to match the color and contour of your teeth for a natural look and feel. White fillings can be placed in the front or back teeth and can be completed in just one visit. This process, although simple for the patient, is a precise sequential process of layering and laser bonding in order to integrate the composite resin into the tooth structure for strength and durability. The final detailing involves polishing the resin to fit the tooth anatomy and give it luster. Many patients choose to replace old unsightly metal fillings that contain mercury with white fillings because white fillings are more aesthetically pleasing and help strengthen the remaining tooth structure. Bonding on the anterior or front teeth is an excellent method for repairing minor imperfections such as chips and stains. It can also be used to fill gaps between the teeth called diastemas. Although no cosmetic dentistry procedure can take the place of good oral and periodontal hygiene, bonding can brighten your smile quickly and easily. What are some of the most common benefits of this procedure? In this procedure, a composite resin material is applied to the tooth and then sculpted and shaped to cover damaged areas or to fill in gaps. This material comes in several shades so it can be matched to the natural color of your tooth. Bonding usually requires only one visit, so it is less time-consuming and less expensive than other tooth restoration methods

In recent days, independent powerhouse SRP Records has been a sure-shot avenue to success for artists of Caribbean descent (in addition to making Rihanna a household name, they helped get fellow Barbados native Shontelle into the limelight this past fall). Hoping to become the next musical sensation to emerge from the islands, SRP's newest signees, Orain 'Shabbz' Stewart, brothers Byron and Dru Barwise and Andrew 'A.T.' Thompson, together known as J-Status, have released a brand new promo single. Going through tough times with their respective women, the Jamaican foursome ask the ladies to help them pick up the Pieces of their broken hearts. Featuring a memorable vocal contribution by Shontelle and relaxing production by Arif Cooper, Pieces should have what it takes to become a strong regional (and indie radio) hit. The only question that remains is, will distributors take notice?

A court here on Thursday issued a production warrant to the Central Jail authorities in Shillong to produce Thadiyantavide Nazir on December 7 in two cases including the one relating to a murder in 2006.
Judical Chief Magistrate (II) N.R. Krishnakumar issued the production warrant on a petition filed by the Kannur city police station authorities here to produce Nazir who had been among the two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives handed over to the Indian security forces by the Bangladesh Rifles on Wedensday. Both Nazir and his associate identified as Shafas Shamsuddin, both hailing from here, had been handed over to the Meghalaya police. The duo had been listed as accused in the case relating to the operation of terror modules in the State probed by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT).
Nazir is one of the accused in the murder of Vinod at Kuruva near here in 2006. He was also accused in a case of attack on a shop here in 2002. The police in its petition sought his custody for interrogation in the two cases.
The police sources here said that a team of police officers led by the Inspector General of Police Tomin J. Thachankary was also likely to leave for Shillong to seek his custody.
Nazir, hailing from a family at Marakkarkandy under the Kannur city police station limits, is believed to be the South Indian 'commander' of the LeT. Shafas Shamsuddin is his associate and brother-in-law.
The police sources here said that the interrogation of Nazir would also unravel the case relating to the conspiracy to kill former Chief Minister E.K. Nayanar.
V.K. Akbar, Deputy Superintendent of the JIT that investigated the activities of the terror network in the State, told The Hindu that the Thalassery court dealing with the case against 23 suspected members of the terror module including Nazir and Shafas Shamsuddin, had already issued warrants against the five absconding accused including the two. He said that the JIT officials would be among different police wings that would interrogate the duo.
Keywords: Thadiyantavide Nazir, T. Nazir, murder, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Shafas Shamsuddin, Bangladesh Rifles

The Pope apologizes for the 13th century sack of Constantinople. (via the Corner). Really, is this necessary?
So I guess around 2292 they'll get around to apologizing for the Inquisition...OTOH, the sack of Constantinople was ultimately one of the stupidest acts in the history of Western Civilization, so apologies aren't unwarranted.
Did he really 'apologize' or did he express remorse? If history class memory serves those responsible were excommunicated at the time.
The Pope is making a big push for unity with the Orthodox and Anglican churches. The Anglicans are too far gone though, so the Catholics can only hope to unite the Orthodox at some point. Sounds like a reasonable response to the Islamist invasion of Europe.

Last week, the first of 400 trees recovered from the shadows of ground zero arrived at the Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum after being carefully tended in a New Jersey nursery.
But one lone tree has been overlooked in a New York City park, without even a marker to note that it survived the national tragedy.
The red maple tree was saved from 333 Rector Place and later dedicated to the memory of a 26-year-old investment banker who, with his Wall Street colleagues, had witnessed the planes fly into the twin towers and was killed in an overseas car accident a few months later.
Jeremy Palley didn't die in 9/11, but the fate of this once frail tree whose identity is lost in the city's Carl Schurz Park, has compounded one mother's overwhelming grief from losing her son.
For seven years, Iris Palley has not been allowed to place a marker to recognize the tree, now strong and beautiful, as a relic from 9/11.
As Sept. 11 rolls around once again, and many Americans are crying out about the insensitivity of building a mosque so close to where 2,600 died, who has a monopoly on grief? Is one mother's loss greater than another's, no matter what the circumstances?
"It's not about Jeremy," insisted Palley, 62, and vice president of Sotheby's International Realty. "It's about the special history of that tree."
The tree was planted on a slope near a playground where her son played at the Upper East Side park.
"It soothes me when I go there, and it's not just about my grieving. It's anyone who has lost somebody and is grieving," said Palley. "I just think it's disrespectful and it makes me feel diminished. A tree is a living, breathing thing, and this tree is a real survivor."
Some park officials worried that they were being portrayed as"hard-hearted" and questioned the origin of the tree.
"We are always respectful and careful with things like this," said Judy Howard, head of the Carl Schurz Park Conservancy, the nonprofit group that maintains the public park.
"The tree has been placed in a wonderful area, and we've always understood that it came from down there," she said. "Although I am not sure what it means to be a 9/11 tree."
"It's not a matter of allowing people," said Howard. "We don't have plaques on any of our trees that are donated in memory of someone."
Howard said the board hoped one day to develop an online registry to acknowledge those gifts, but for the most part, others who donated trees in memory of loved ones were satisfied.
Jeremy worked in DoubleClick's corporate development group from 1991-2001. He was getting his MBA at the international Insead business school in France and died when the car he was driving crashed into a tree one early morning, just before his graduation May 18, 2002.
"He died instantly," said Palley. "He was an incredible child and a really lovely human being. He was really too good to be true."
But her grief has been long and prolonged. "I was in such horrible pain aching for him," said Palley.
She even hired a private detective to find out the circumstances of the accident, but it still remains a mystery.
Jeremy, a 1999 graduate of University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, was a young superstar at the downtown internet firm DoubleClick.
The company's chief counsel , Elizabeth Wang, befriended her younger colleague, whom she said she always relied on for "good advice." They worked together on investment deals.

Risk of limb deficiency defects associated with NAT1, NAT2, GSTT1, GSTM1, and NOS3 genetic variants, maternal smoking, and vitamin supplement intake. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 16906563 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Increasing epidemiologic evidence suggests that genetic susceptibilities contribute to birth defects risks, especially in combination with other environmental exposures. This analysis examines the association of risk of limb deficiency defects with infant genotypes for N-acetyltranferases (NAT1, NAT2), glutathione-S-tranferases (GSTT1, GSTM1), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3). The combined effects of infant genotype with maternal smoking and supplement intake were also examined. The authors genotyped 92 cases and 201 non-malformed controls from a California population-based case-control study (1987-1988 birth cohort). Several of the infant genotypes were associated with an at least 1.5-fold increased risk for limb deficiency defects: homozygosity for the NAT1 1088 and 1095 polymorphisms, heterozygosity and homozygosity for the NOS3 A(-922)G polymorphism, and heterozygosity (but not homozygosity) for the NOS3 G894T polymorphism. The authors hypothesized that the effects of selected variant genotypes in the presence of maternal smoking, or in the absence of supplement intake, may exceed effects of any of these factors alone. A few observations suggested that risks were greatest among infants with variant genotypes, whose mothers also smoked or did not take supplements, but most did not, and risk estimates were imprecise. Further studies exploring genetic susceptibility and combined gene-environment effects with respect to limb development will be important to continued improvement of our understanding of the etiology of limb anomalies. |

It looks nice and my daughter is delighted but disappointed at how easily the surface scratches
Delivery instructions need sorting. The customer services advised that the driver would call an hour before delivering to ensure I was home. This did not happen and the driver said that it was not the practice of his company to call in advance. Customers should be given accurate information. The result of the failure to communicate was that the delivery arrived as I was leaving to do the school run causing me to then be late. My partner would have been home to cover my absence had we received the call promised.This needs sorting if confidence in the process is to be restored

Charles Ries began writing during his mid-40s and has more than 200 published works.
Poet and author Charles Ries of Milwaukee is well aware of the warnings that "serious writers" don't write cat poems, but he just couldn't help himself. He'd taken good care of his daughter's cat, and watched as she had her one chance to escape into the wide world, but hesitated, and made her choice to stay.
Ries grew up on a mink farm in Sheboygan, "so my relationship with animals is kind of weird," he says. But Princess "kind of adopted me," and when she died, Ries says, "tears came out of nowhere." His poem about her, "My Cat's Human," took second place in a major writing competition and is included in his latest collection, "Girl Friend & Other Mysteries of Love."
"The poems go back 15 years, and were extracted from about 500 total," Ries says. "I feel collections should have sort of a thematic focus. One of my thematic focuses is this mash-up of the vernacular and sacred."
"Girl Friend & Other Mysteries of Love" focuses on love in its many incarnations.
"I thought, 'Let me just pull all of these observations I've collected about love, try to keep it universal and funny, colloquial and common in a way, very accessible and readable.' As I was culling through this work, these were the things that fell out," Ries says.
The result, he says, is a meditation on love from the point of view from a middle-aged man.
"I value love so differently now, I don't take it for granted," Ries says. "When I was young, it was a lot of hormones and a lot of feverish, mindless activity sometimes. But everything I do know is with much more presence of mind."
His presence in the creative writing world is ubiquitous. His narrative poems, short stories, interviews and poetry reviews have appeared in more than 200 publications. His book, "The Fathers We Find," is a novel based on memory. Ries has received four nominations for the prestigious Pushcart Prize and was awarded the Wisconsin Regional Writers Association Jade Ring Award for humorous writing.
"What I try to find in writing is those sort of quirky, weird, offbeat moments — these odd, out-of-time experiences in line in the grocery store or a guy eating waffles in a weird way; these moments that have a curiosity in an odd way," he says.
Ries works in the University Advancement Department at Marquette University. He recently took a sabbatical from writing, channeling his creative spirit into gardening for himself and for friends. Both writing and gardening, he says, require ruthless editing in order for the writer's and gardener's voice to be heard.
"Gardening is my other favorite compulsion," he says. "I think it's consuming."

You shouldn't! If you're using regular pressure-treated decking, we recommend that you don't use anything but hot-dipped galvanized screws. Nails just won't hold well enough.

Maid jailed 3 months for burying her dead baby in employer's backyard
An Indonesian maid who buried the body of her new-born in the backyard of her employer's house in Serangoon Gardens was jailed for three months on Tuesday.
A district court heard that Musliyati, 37, had suspected she was pregnant in October last year and bought three pills believed to be contraceptives from a pedlar in Geylang.
On the night of Nov 6, she swallowed one pill and inserted the other two into her private parts. The next night, she felt pain in her stomach. At 1am on Nov 8, she gave birth while using a squatting toilet in her employer's home in Brighton Avenue. She scooped the baby out of the toilet bowl and tore off the umbilical cord. She told investigators that the baby was not moving or crying.
She cleaned the toilet and rested in the kitchen till 5am. She then wrapped the body in a blanket and placed it in a black plastic bag before burying it in the backyard.

Title: | Laboratory Measurements of Elastic Constants of Carbonate Rocks from Southwestern Ohio |
Creators: | Pearson, Jerome; Richard, Benjamin H.; Simpson, H. Mitchell |
Issue Date: | 1979-03 |
Citation: | The Ohio Journal of Science. v79, n2 (March, 1979), 65-72 |
Abstract: | Improved laboratory techniques were developed for the measurement of seismic velocities, elastic constants, and loss factors in rock cores. The method used was the forced and free vibration of cylindrical cores in longitudinal, torsional, and flexural vibration modes. The results from Ohio sedimentary rock cores selected from the Brassficld limestone, the Cedarville dolomite, and the Columbus limestone were compared to limited field measurements using seismic techniques. This comparison demonstrates the advantages of the laboratory techniques, which can be used to study the effects of saturation, compostion, anisotropy, and grain size on elastic constants. |

I don't actually waste my time with a number of British papers (Sun, Sport, Mail etc etc) because I know good journalism when I see it (to the extent of having a degree in it). Calm down already. |
It's in the "Life and Style/Relationships" section, it's a story about someone going without sex for a year, it looks pretty interesting and is probably of considerable interest to lots of people, why pick on that when with your journalism degree you should be out there kicking in the door of Fleet Street's political editors? |

Meh. Seems a bit of a waste of space I guess, but was it actually featured in the paper or just online? They seem to have a habit of sticking any old dross on the site. Saying that, if this was in print as well, it could've only taken up a couple of pages at most out of a Saturday paper with its many supplements, so I don't think I would've been too outraged if I saw it. |

Fair play to the woman, she's making money off of talking about chastity. Hey, if this is as interesting as you say then perhaps I should write a book too since I've not had any in a while either. Yes it's not for me, I'm still entitled to my opinion on it. I've had the odd glance at columns and articles in the 'life/relationship' sections of papers before, clearly not for me as I said, but even then they're usually not this dull. No idea why I read most of the article, and less of an idea about how or why people would buy good money to read an entire book about it. She could have easily summed it all up in a couple of paragraphs. Clearly I'm not the only one who wasn't overly impressed by it, have a look at the comments (and some of the ones in this thread too). And don't take it so personally or seriously, just sharing an opinion as I'm entitled to. |

I came in here expecting some real bad shit from the Grauniad, given the thread title, and it's just some noncy lifestyle piece. You clearly were riled (and possibly enraged, frothing at the mouth as you make strangled sounds) because you've started a fucking thread on it. And by "it" I mean "the obvious fluff piece that's barely even worth the thought it would take to form an opinion on much less start a thread." Although I quite enjoyed the article, and I feel I have communed more deeply with my feminine side. But I'm still going to get some tonight, so fuck this article and fuck this thread. |
