DALLAS -- A father revealed his son, a North Texas resident, was among those on a Malaysia flight that vanished less than one hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.
The man was identified as Philip Wood, who was on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 when it disappeared over the South China Sea. The jet was carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The disappearance of the jet well into its flight Saturday morning has led aviation experts to assume that whatever happened was quick and left the pilots no time to place a distress call.
His father said, We're coping ... It's been tough.
Philip Wood was a wonderful man, wrote Elaine Wood, Wood's ex-wife, on her Facebook page from Keller. Although we were no longer married, he is still family. His sons and I just want peace and quiet right now.
On its website, Malaysia Airlines asked for prayers.
It has been more than 24 hours since we last heard from MH370 at 1:30 a.m. [MYT], read the statement. The search and rescue team is yet to determine the whereabouts of the Boein 777-200 aircraft.
Two large oil slicks were spotted Saturday by the Vietnamese air force. There was no immediate confirmation that the slicks were related to Flight MH370, but the government said they were consistent with the kind of slick that would be produced by the jet's two fuel tanks.
After the oil was spotted, authorities suspended the air search for the night. It was to resume Sunday. A sea search continued in the darkness, the airline said.

Virginia gets grant for education, workforce training
In addition to the grant from the National Governor's Association, Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Friday that Virginia also has been selected to participate in an 18 month national policy academy focused on the same goals.
Officials say the grant activities will focus on increasing the attainment levels of science, technology, engineering, math, and health credentials needed for the state's current and emerging businesses and industries.
Secretary of Commerce and Trade Maurice Jones says the grant will allow Virginia to take a big step forward in terms of workforce development.
The grant will support development of a statewide marketing campaign and encourage new and expanded public and private partnerships.
Briefs / Government /
Yeah, this will go a long way! Get our tax money back from the fed to date and you will balance the Virginia budget with some leftover. Was it Greason and Rust that put on us the hook for 300 million dollars for phase 2 of the Silver Line, yikes!

El Cajon looking to regulate e-cigarettes
Since 2007, the city has had an ordinance prohibiting smoking or chewing tobacco at or within 20 feet of most public areas within the city, including outdoor restaurants, playgrounds and walking down public streets.
Last year, the Vons store on Avocado and Chase avenues was hit with the penalty of not being able to sell tobacco for a three-month period starting Oct. 1 because it sold the product to minors in violation of the city's code.
City Councilman Bob McClellan said he was interested in the regulation of the inhaled substances. McClellan said that while on his way to La Mesa's Oktoberfest from the El Cajon Oktoberfest last year, he and his wife were treated to "a fellow on the trolley smoking an e-cigarette and it was an extremely obnoxious smell."
A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shared as part of the agenda item said that e-cigarette usage has more than doubled among middle school and high school students from 2011 to 2012.
Some e-cigarettes have been marketed as smoking cessation aids, the report added, but "there is not conclusive scientific evidence that e-cigarettes promote successful long-term quitting."
The report said that cigarette smoking is responsible for nearly 450,000 deaths in the United States each year.

Nike to Lombardi: We Want Our Money Back
On March 31, 2010 By Mark Donnell July 22, 2010
The folks at Nike were hoping for a motivational speech. Or at least an audio recording of one. But after shelling out $150,000, all they got were words on a page, the text of one of Vince Lombardi's famed speeches.
Nike was planning to use the audio recording in a new advertising campaign. But without [...]Continue Reading →

Chargers lack the thieves to get it done
"We're getting there. We're getting some guys back. Me and Five-0 will be in there, and it will be on the up side."
Five-0 is Manti Te'o, the rookie who has yet to play but will make his debut Sunday at a time when the Chargers can certainly use him.
It's a shame that jokes revolving around Te'o are months past played out, because the Chargers' defense so far has been mostly invisible.
Now, as a rookie who participated in just two weeks of training camp and two series in a preseason game, Te'o will be doing just what much of the rest of the defense has been doing – getting up to speed. But the reason he was drafted was his ability to make plays, and now that his sprained foot is well enough, he will be charged with not only containing Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray but taking advantage of his penchant for getting the ball.
"If you're playing," Te'o said Friday, "you better create turnovers."
If the Chargers are winning, someone will be doing so.

The road to Brazil for England was a bit unsteady, unlike four years ago in 2010 where they won nine out of 10 matches going into the tournament. This time around England managed to seal qualification on the last day against Poland with a nail-biting 2-0 win.
England's last world cup match was overshadowed by controversy after Frank Lampard's goal was not given, whereas TV replays showed the ball had crossed atleast a foot inside the goal. Germany took advantage in the second half humiliating England out of the World Cup by winning 4-1. Even the performances in the group stages by England were anything but impressive winning one of their three group matches owing to lack of attacking style and shabby defending.
England are a different side going into this World Cup as new boss Roy Hodgson has injected energy by introducing young talent in his squad. Joe Hart will definitely be England's first choice keeper. The defence looks solid with Gary Cahill and Phil Jones and they have attacking full backs in Leighton Baines and Luke Shaw. In the mid-field there is a pool of exciting talent with Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana and Raheem Streling all impressing with their domestic clubs. Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard can play the perfect holding mid-fielders and their experience will surely help.
Upfront all eyes will be on Wayne Rooney who is still looking for his first World Cup goal, the 28 year old Manchester United talisman is returning from injury after enduring a frustration season with the Red Devils. England has pacey strikers in Danny Welbeck and Daniel Sturridge, Rickie Lambert too has been in great form with the Saints and will be eager to continue that in Brazil.
The country is expecting a lot from Wayne Rooney who is the only English striker yet to appear on the score sheet after two world cup campaigns. Roy Hodgon has called upon fans to stop obsessing over Rooney and is trying against heaping more pressure on him. However if Rooney's performances do not have any impact, the boss will have to take the brave decision of putting him on the bench. On paper England look balanced with a perfect mixture of youth and experience, but only time will tell how they actually perform on the pitch.

Certainly this consent order is a joke and nothing more than a wink and slap on the wrist. So, Neiman Marcus is prohibited from breaking the law for 20 years and after that time they are free to break the law? Why are they not being fined for breaking the law in the first place.

del mar They came in screaming sometimes, smiling always. At one point, two women who I am quite sure don't usually do so, kissed long and hard on the lips. I wiped champagne from my shoes more than once. I was compelled to high-five a total stranger.
These are the things you get to do when you hang with winners.
If it's true what my dad said, that you're judged by the company you keep, then on Wednesday I was, indeed, a winner.
For much of a gorgeous afternoon, I stationed myself on a patio overlooking the Del Mar paddock.
I had a magnificent view of the pageantry (which I watched in fascination every time) and the parade of hats and cleavage (which I hardly noticed) that preceded each race. After the races, I rubbed elbows with winners.
I was in the Winners Bar.
In all, I spent 12 hours wandering the track. And I'll tell you, there is friendly everywhere at this place. It hangs like the ivy on the paddock stalls, omnipresent like the palm trees. It's easy on the senses, like the ocean air.
And there is no place as friendly as the third-floor clubhouse balcony that up until two years ago was simply a place for people to smoke. Now it's the unfailingly happiest place in Del Mar, maybe on earth. Sorry Disneyland, winners are pretty damn happy.
No hard-luck stories in the Winners Bar.
"I only get happy people here," said Venus Corlew-Bubeck, who mans the bar in the private lounge reserved only for winning owners, trainers and their entourage.
It was decided before last year's meet that winners needed somewhere to go to have a little longer to celebrate their triumph.
Before, they would leave the winners circle … and that would be it.
This is Del Mar. For these seven weeks, that's synonymous with social.
The track's motto in recent years has been Cool as Ever.
"We think it goes along with that," said Del Mar CEO Joe Harper, presiding over his 35th Opening Day.
In the Winners Bar, winning owners and whoever they bring up (from five to 50 or so) get a complimentary bottle of champagne and a secluded spot where they can continue their celebration.
It sure seemed like the owners appreciate this gesture. It's one of those many quintessential Del Mar effects, like fancy/crazy hats and a contest next week that actually crowns a Miss Cougar.
Not every owner and even fewer trainers come to the bar after a win. Especially on Opening Day, the crowds to get there can be stifling. The big shots sometimes have better things to do.
But Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert accompanied owner Arnold Zetcher after their horse, Midnight Crooner, won the sixth race. Baffert then stayed to watch the seventh on the big screen above the paddock.
"Coming to Del Mar, it's a boutique meet, so laid back," Baffert said. "It's a working vacation for a lot of us. … When you win at Del Mar it's so exciting."

My idea for stealth grow box...
Using 3 2 foot flourescents. 2 softwhite, and 1 flowering specific light. (think thats right)
Box is 3w x 4l x 3h. Sowing about 8 seeds and weed out the males forcing each plant to flower on one branch at about 2 months or about 8" whichever comes first. And weed all but 1 male. Using about 8 inches of soil should give me about 20 gallons of soil or so. Continually clip back the male so it does not grow to large and take up any space and allow the females to grow vertically up to when each hits a wooden bar set in the box. Then using twist ties have the weed grow along the stick. This will increase the plant lengths about 2 feet with most of the plants finishing the vege stage at 4-6 feet. During the vege stage the plants will be in 24/0 and will slowly decrease over a week to 13/11 give it another 2 weeks decrease it to 12/12 and leave it that way pulling the male plant and using it to polinate only 1 or 2 female flowering branches for seeds couple weeks before harvest keeping it frozen until then in a ziplock baggy. The CO2 will be maintained using a gallon milk container with yeast/sugar/water mix. Its proven and it works well and its cheap. All light will be sealed in, planning to use sticky velcro along the box and the back of the lights so ya can adjust the lighting along the side of the box as needed since all of the light will be sealed in the box should be WELL enough for 4 or so 5 foot plants, even though it doesnt seem like it. Combined with the white siding of the box should work out well... Think that about covers it.
Oh and as for why its so stealthy, you can just put the lid on and cover it with a bunch of heavy boxes and noone will know the difference.

what about vents? ur gonna need plenty of ventilation, and even if it looks stealthy, your still gonna smell the room up when u go to flower.. and why keep males???? u dont want seedy bud? or do u? lol I go for no seeds, bud = more potent when there are no seeds...
Posted 18 March 2005 - 11:12 PM
I actually want some seeds for the next crop this is bag grown(hence why only 1 or two of the FLOWERS of ONE of the females will be seeded not all), as as for ventalation the only reasons why you need it are as follows... CO2 which in this case is produced artifically, and smell. I keep the room VERY VERY well ventilated because I smoke anyway so when I go to water them it shouldnt be a problem, H O W E V E R, you are right in case of flowering I will need to ventilate it some more (maybe)
Posted 19 March 2005 - 10:37 AM
That few of flouros arn't going to grow your plants very well. One reason is, chances are you'll be using magnetic ballasts instead of electronic. Magnetic compared to electronic, flickers slowly. Where as the electronic flicker very fast enough the plants won't really notice. Plus, three bulbs arn't going to put out alot of lumens. They will put out ~9k lumens at the most. But thats only if you use the really expensive bulbs. You may want to think about putting in at least 3 more, or get a HPS light. They arn't that expensive. Plus, for your small space you'll only need a 150w light.

Angel Wynn's assignment from fifth grade teacher Beth Howard at Black Mountain Elementary School was to write an essay on "Why my Grandparent should be the AARP Kentucky Grandparent of the Year."
Some 300 words later and advancement through the judging process, Wynn has won several awards and now awaits a presentation in Louisville where she and her grandmother will be honored.
During a recent meeting of the Harlan County Retired Teachers Association, Wynn was introduced to the group of former educators as the school winner, county winner and regional winner. She has already been invited to Louisville for the state AARP meeting where she and her grandmother, Louada Wynn, will be honored for her first place essay, winning over entries from all across the state.
Louada Wynn and her husband, Royce, have raised Angel since she was a baby. Angel calls her grandmother "mom."
In the essay, she wrote that her grandmother is "a great cook, a hard worker and a really kind and amazing person. She also took care of me since I was 2 days old because my mom died when she was having me. My dad and I lived with my grandma and pap because he was so busy working. He was a funeral director, so that's why my grandma and pap had to take care of me. Then two months later my dad died in a motorcycle accident. Ever since then my grandma and pap have raised me like I was their own child."
Her grandfather is retired from the Harlan County School District, while her grandmother continues to work as an instructional assistant at Evarts Elementary School "and helps children all day."
The essay details the hectic life her grandmother lives taking care of her and working, being involved at church and so much more.
"She is wonderful and astonishing," wrote Angel. "I really admire the way that she keeps going and going like the Energizer Bunny."
Howard said she uses the contest as an assignment for her students and was elated to learn Wynn, who recently transferred to Evarts Elementary School, won the contest.
"For all that Angel has lost, she is an incredible girl. I know she has been a blessing to her family as she has been a blessing to me also," said Howard. "She is very sweet and always has a smile on her face. I am very proud of her accomplishment."
Angel says she has had all A's on her report card and quickly adds, "I like writing."
She said she likes to squirrel hunt, ride horses, swim and play sports such as basketball and softball. She often plays the piano at Black Mountain Baptist Church. She has also volunteered with her family at Christ's Hands.

A state prosecutor continued Thursday to grill former Anchorage police officer Anthony Rollins, on trial on charges he committed multiple sexual assaults.
Rollins, 43, was an officer for 13 years until the allegations of forced sex acts in April 2009. He's on trial for first- and second-degree sexual assault, misconduct as a police officer, and criminal use of a computer.
Under questioning Wednesday by his attorney, Susan Carney, Rollins admitted to some of the sexual encounters described earlier by alleged victims, but said they were willing participants in the acts, which occurred while Rollins was in uniform and on duty.
Some of the alleged assaults did not happen at all, Rollins testified, directly contradicting testimony from two of the six alleged victims.
Carney expressed concerns Thursday about the spectators in court before the jury arrived to hear more from Rollins.
She said someone had laughed the day before during his testimony and asked Superior Court Judge Philip Volland to remind court onlookers to be quiet.
Volland said he was concerned early on about public attention to the trial, but he said that emotional tension was to be expected.
"If you made an observation, Ms. Carney, I made a different observation, which is that I have an emotionally charged courtroom."
Carney also had a problem with the large group of on-duty police officers present for Rollins' testimony, who she said were armed with handguns.
"I think it's an attempt to influence the jury," Carney said.
Volland disagreed with her reasoning, and after a short discussion, called the 14 jurors to their seats.
Deputy District Attorney Sharon Marshall picked up the questioning by asking Rollins about calls he made to one of the alleged victims.
Marshall wanted to know why cell phone records showed Rollins called her repeatedly in the days after they had sex -- she described it as rape; he said it was consensual -- and why he didn't stop calling her when she refused to answer or return his calls.
Rollins disagreed with that statement, saying that some of the calls resulted in conversations between him and the woman. Rollins testified he didn't get the feeling she was avoiding him, as the woman had earlier testified.
Throughout the morning, Marshall asked why Rollins often gave hugs to women while on duty, why at least once he violated department policy and failed to notify dispatchers he had a female in his car, and why Rollins flirted with women he contacted while on duty.
"What is it that turns you on?" Marshall asked at one point.
"Is that a specific question?" Rollins said, to which the prosecutor answered, "Yes."
"It just depends on the time," he said.
"Any time after midnight?" Marshall asked.
"Every girl walking home who says you're nice to her, you think wants to have sex with you?" she asked.
"What is this thing about giving hugs?" Marshall asked. "Why do you like to hug women?"
"I give hugs to men and women, to people I'm friendly with," Rollins said.
In one of the cases, the alleged victim said Rollins picked her up as a missing person at an alcohol sleep-off center, and she told him she thought she'd been raped.
The alleged victim testified that Rollins mostly ignored her statement about the possible rape. Instead of taking her home, she said Rollins drove her to a substation in Mountain View, where she had to hold up her pants to avoid having sex with Rollins, she testified.
Did Rollins rub on her and try to pull her pants down, as the woman testified under oath? Marshall asked.
"It never happened, not with me," Rollins said, also under oath.
Rollins testified he took her to the station to get more information, to see if police should continue to investigate what happened to the woman the night before. Rollins said the woman didn't want to go through with the report, so he didn't follow up on it and promptly took her home, he said.
Why didn't he file some kind of paperwork as the first person to hear her report, and why did the woman then go to a hospital and file a detailed report with a different officer, Marshall wanted to know.
Rollins said he didn't have enough information to pursue the investigation.
Marshall later asked Rollins to read the Anchorage Police Department's code of ethics.
Rollins read the code of ethics, which he signed when he became an officer. It included a passage about how an officer should never let personal feelings interfere with their sworn duty.
"Have you let your personal feelings influence your job?" Marshall asked.
"Yes, my personal feelings did influence my job," Rollins said. "I made some bad choices, I'm sorry I sinned against my god and against my family, and I'm, I'm sorry. I let a lot of people down."

No more 'Big Baby'
|01.25.10 at 7:14 pm ET
It took a broken thumb and a $25,000 fine to convince Glen Davis to shed the identity he carried into the NBA.
But now, Davis wants a new nickname. He wants to leave Big Baby behind.
'I'm not a Big Baby anymore,' he said. ' I'm not feeling that anymore. You got that? No more Big Baby.'
So what does he have in mind?
'Call me 'Uno Uno!' Yeah, I like that,' he exclaimed after a reporter suggested the moniker. ''Uno Uno,' that's my new name.'
Big Baby represents a past from which Davis wants to move on. It's a past that includes fighting in a car during the preseason and yelling obscenities at a fan just last week. He appreciates the opportunities he has been given by the Celtics organization and never wants to revert back to the player who had to be granted second ' and third ' chances.
'Being Big Baby, I just realized throughout my life I've been called Big Baby, and throughout my life I've been going through different changes. So really, I'm not Big Baby,' he explained. 'You know, it's like I'm in a cocoon and now I'm coming out as a different player and as a different person also. Basically just the fact that the new person is growth, so you want to shed that Big Baby off. You want to be perceived as something else, not the past.'
To Rivers, Davis' personality has nothing to do with the name he goes by. Regardless of whether or not he is Big Baby or Uno Uno, he is still a young player who is learning his way in the league. Davis asked that fans believe he is not a bad person or a troublemaker, and Rivers echoed his request.
'He's young, that's the one thing I keep saying about him,' he said. 'He has to grow up in front of a lot of people where most people his age don't. He's not a bad kid. We just have to give him time. Some you don't, some you do and he's one you do.'
So while Davis figures out who he is and who he is going to become in the NBA, he is turning to his veteran teammates for advice along the way.
'I look up to a lot of these players on this team and Ray Allen gave me some great advice,' he said. 'The 26-year-old man has to think for the 36-year-old man. The 36-year-old man has to think for the 46-year-old man. So every decision I make is more than just today.'

Contradiction - So Randy can actually win every demo contest since he said that able make 25k per days in demo. But Randy never join demo contest to win the broker money. Conclusion 1 : Using abrigate Ea that only work on certain broker. So it didn't work on most broker contest.

When you enter the gate of the famous Panjiayuan Collection Market on the southwest corner of Panjiayuan Bridge, the first thing you see is a row of shops decorated in ancient Chinese style. And the first shop at the entrance is Shengda Valuable Watch Firm, specializing in second-hand, name-brand Swiss watches.
Looking at the various old watches and clocks arranged in showcases makes the shop look almost like a museum. Every watch, Rolex, Omega, Longines, etc., is shown with the original Guarantee Registration Certificate.
Prices for most of their watches range from RMB 10,000 to RMB 30,000. While they may sound expensive, the shop owner told me that prices for some of their watches are lower than in Europe.
They also buy, repair, maintain, and renew old watches. Apart from watches and clocks, the shop also carries old silver wares, rosewood sculptures, and old jade wares.
What I appreciated
Old Swiss watches for collection.
What customers appreciate
A wide variety of second-hand, name-brand Swiss watches.

MANCHESTER — — Lou's Auto Sales & Upholstery, the Center Street business that was destroyed after heavy snowfall in January 2011, is being rebuilt.
A construction crew has been erecting a new shop at 478 Center St., where Lou Meloni had run a business since 1977.
The former auto shop collapsed early on Jan. 28 after unrelenting storms layered 2 feet of snow on the roof. Meloni, who could not be reached for comment Monday, has said he had insurance on the place and vowed that the business would rebound..

there are 5-speed JDM STi gears out there but no, you cannot put 6-speed gears in a 5-speed tranny so the USDM STi tranny is out of the question.
If you're replacing the entire tranny to the one in a USDM STi than you get the center diff (and hence DCCD) as well. It's in the same casing. You could just put a resistor in though that would lock the DCCD on auto or fixed or wherever else you wanted it.
Swapping in the 6-speed is not easy or cheap.

Houston Chapter Kemah Meet Part 1
Ok first off, Happy Holidays to everyone and their families. I hope everyone is doing well after taking part in the devouring of many turkies. This is part 1 of the official thread for the Kemah Boardwalk Meet. Lets makes this our biggest meet yet. Let's end 2010 with a bang. Thanksgiving is over and Blackfriday is over. Now is the time to rally. There has been discussion about where to park. The parking garage was an option beecause of its ample room to park. However, due to lifted trucks and a low ceiling, this option will probably not bee feasible. The parking lot adjacent to the garage was also mentioned and is still under consideration but it fills up very quickly. Now, I do know an area where we can park where no one parks. The downside; it's somewhat away from the Boardwalk. The good side; we can use this area to get some great shots. I was in a meet about 4 years ago in this very location I'm speaking of. I've posted a pic of it and I'm the only yellow truck there so you'll see me in the line up. We could meet there first as a group and then move closer to the Boardwalk shortly after.
So the discussion is open and suggestions are welcome for a parking location, date, and time. Part 2 of this official thread will contain the location we all agree upon, the date, and time. Part 2 will also include the official list of who all will bee participating weather it's newbie's or veterans. All are welcome. So, lets get the ball rolling.

I've had this DSi for almost a year now [got it last Christmas]. It is a refurbished black one from Game Stop, so there is no warranty.
I don't think I have the money to send it to Nintendo to get it fixed, not to buy a new battery [do they even sell them in Game Stops at the mall? I've never seen any there.]
I've never dropped it, ripped out the charger, etc.; that thing is [or, possibly, was ] my baby.
Most forums I go onto [Yahoo!Answers, Nintendo, etc] just say "lul, I dunno; call Nintendo?", so I am hoping someone on here has better advice.
One bit I got was to give it a few days to take a break; could this help?
Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
Thanks for any and all help.

Nigerian vice president now acting president
ABUJA, Nigeria Nigeria's vice president is telling the nation he has assumed the presidency as the West African nation's leader remains hospitalized in Saudi Arabia.
Vice President Goodluck Jonathan's televised address comes late Tuesday night after the National Assembly voted to have him assume power. Jonathan asked the nation to pray for elected President Umaru Yar'Adua, who left Nigeria in November for treatment of a heart condition in Saudi Arabia.
Yar'Adua has yet to return, sparking a constitutional crisis in the nation as government business ground to a halt in his absence. He still could assume power upon returning healthy to Nigeria, but questions remain about how ill he is.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - Nigeria's parliament empowered Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to run Africa's most populous nation Tuesday in place of an ill and absent president, striving for a political end to a crisis that ground the government to a virtual halt and triggered the resumption of an insurgency in the vital oil sector.
But the move is not contemplated in the constitution, legal experts say, and could cause more friction between the Christian south, which gains the presidency at least temporarily, and Muslim north, which finds itself out of the seat of power.
When President Umaru Yar'Adua left Nigeria in late November, he did not write a letter to the vice president alerting him of the medical absence and empowering him to act as president, as called for by the 1999 constitution. Yar'Adua, who long has suffered from kidney ailments, left for Saudi Arabia on Nov. 23 and was admitted to a hospital there the next day for what his physician says is acute pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart.
Yar'Adua's absence has caused a cease-fire he negotiated with insurgents in the country's oil-rich Niger Delta to unravel and left no one formally in charge of the nation of 150 million. Oil contracts went unsigned and there was confusion about who was in charge. The political turmoil in a powerful country with a long history of coups and military dictatorships recently prompted U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and European leaders to call on the nation to follow its constitution.
Newspapers began worrying about possible coup scenarios as Yar'Adua's absence grew longer. However, military leaders insist they have no ambitions to take power and say they would respect the constitution.
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate on Tuesday passed measures calling on Jonathan to act as president and commander in chief until Yar'Adua returns from Saudi Arabia. There's no indication Yar'Adua will return any time soon.
Despite the lack of a letter from Yar'Adua designating Jonathan in charge, Senate President David Marks said a telephone interview the president gave to the BBC about his poor health could act in place of a formal letter.
"The BBC interview is as good as the letter envisaged by the constitution," Mark said.

Ex-Navy Seals And Elite Athletes Take On The Wilds Of Patagonia- "Project Acheron" Special Airs On NBC – Sunday, August 3rd At 3 PM ET
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — "Project Acheron," an adrenaline-filled, one-hour special featuring world-class athletes testing their limits in the wilds of Patagonia for nine grueling days, is set to air on Sunday, August 3rd at 3pm ET/12pm PST on NBC.
Four elite athletes cross the proverbial river of pain to undergo transformation in a way no cross-training program has ever done before. The athletes – expedition kayaker Rafa Ortiz, surf ironman Australian Matt Poole, big-wave surfer Ian Walsh and multisport waterman Kai Lenny - are guided by two former Navy Seals who purposely create high-performance challenges at every turn. The River Acheron, also known as the River of Pain, forms the border of Hell in Dante's Inferno, and serves as a metaphor for the Red Bull High Performance Program's Project Acheron.
Dr. Andy Walshe, Red Bull's High Performance director, wanted to design a program that would challenge athletes holistically – body, mind and spirit. Influenced by Eastern philosophy and the training tactics of Samurai warriors, Shaolin monks and other ancient warriors known for their physical – and spiritual – mastery of self, his training results not only in better athletic performance, but a stronger individual of a higher consciousness transformed through experiential hardship. Born of this thinking, Red Bull Project Acheron essentially merges extreme environments, the power of the unknown, and elite athletes into a highly engineered and singular athletic training experiment. The mission also has a scientific purpose, as the athletes' brains are scanned pre- and post-trip to analyze how the brain reacts and adapts to stress.
"There is little I can teach these athletes about their own disciplines. But what I could do was engineer a program so challenging that it'd yank them right out of their comfort zones, pushing their limits physically, mentally, and spiritually," said Walshe.
The Northern Patagonian Ice Field in Aysén, Southern Chile, offers a remote, wild region with steep mountains and dangerous, unpredictable weather. The television special grabs the viewer and takes them into its heart-pounding epic journey. The athletes scale sheer rock walls, paddle frigid waters, cross glaciers, and push through exhaustion as they attempt to summit a mountain where no human has before ventured.
"This mountain really shifted me, and that's why I came here. I wanted to be able to feel like I'm a 100 times stronger mentally and physically," said Lenny. "One of the best trips of my life, hands down."

When I looked at my video, my feet were a good shoulder's width apart.
That shift forward of the hips that you see the pros do is to counter balance the sideways tilt of the upper body.
It is the combined sideways bend of the upper body at the waist plus the front hip going out that gives the archer's bow shape of the body.
Some find that it is easier to do this by concentrating on getting their hitting shoulder as low to the ground as possible, letting their forward hip move out into the court to maintain their balance.
I picked the above picture of Sampras to show that those with a platform stance like you can indeed do this, even though it can be exaggerated even more from a pinpoint stance. (But many find it harder to balance in a pinpoint stance.)

Bears QB Cutler out vs. 49ers
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP)
The Chicago Bears were bracing for an injury to Jay Cutler long before the season started.
Now, they'll see just how prepared they are.
PAIN TRAINInjuries are a part of football, but these players have been hit particularly hard.
Cutler will miss Monday's game at San Francisco because of a concussion, leaving the Bears without their starting quarterback. The team announced the decision Friday, meaning Jason Campbell is the likely starter against the 49ers.
Star receiver Brandon Marshall said Cutler is getting better, but he also said there's a bigger picture that goes beyond this week's game.
''Our life, our health, is more important than football,'' Marshall said. ''I think we'll get Jay back sooner than later.''
For now, the Bears believe they have enough to get by. They brought in Campbell in the offseason for a situation like this, and he found out before Thursday's practice that he'll be starting.
''You definitely don't want to see anyone get hurt or injured in this business,'' said Campbell, who's made 70 starts in his career with Washington and Oakland. ''We understand it is a tough sport. Sometimes, things like that happen.''
Cutler's status was in question after he sat out the second half of Sunday night's loss to Houston. The Bears believe he was injured on a helmet-to-helmet hit by the Texans' Tim Dobbins, who was fined $30,000 by the league, late in the second quarter.
Cutler initially did not show any symptoms and took seven more snaps in the first half. It wasn't until halftime that the symptoms showed up, and the Bears went the rest of the way with Campbell. They also signed veteran Josh McCown this week, giving them a backup behind Campbell.
The 49ers, meanwhile, could be without starting quarterback Alex Smith, who suffered a concussion of his own last week. He practiced in a non-contact black jersey Wednesday and Thursday and hopes to be ready to play against Chicago.
The concussion isn't the first for Cutler. He missed a game after being sacked nine times in the first half of a loss at the New York Giants in October 2010. Last year, Cutler broke his right thumb late in a win over San Diego that put Chicago at 7-3. His replacement, Caleb Hanie, struggled and the Bears lost five of their last six.
That cost general manager Jerry Angelo his job. Phil Emery replaced him and retooled the roster, landing Marshall in a blockbuster trade with Miami and addressing several other areas - including backup quarterback by signing Campbell to a one-year deal.
''He's the next guy up and he's more than capable,'' Marshall said. ''I think when you look at what happened to the Bears last year, I think that's the reason why he's here. He's more than capable and we're fortunate to have a starting quarterback as our backup.''
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
That's why the Bears believe they can get by without Cutler, at least for now. They have an experienced backup and don't expect the same sort of meltdown.
''I understand a year ago what happened, but at the same time, I've got to do what I've got to do within the system, different football team,'' Campbell said.
The Bears are 7-2, one of the top records in the NFC. But they are in the tightest division in the league, with Green Bay at 6-3, the Vikings at 6-4 and Detroit still in the picture at 4-5.
Campbell, who threw for 94 yards last week, started six games for Oakland a year ago before breaking his collarbone. He has completed more than 60 percent of his attempts and thrown for 14,511 yards since he entered the league in 2005.
He's more of a pocket passer and isn't quite as mobile as Cutler, which led to this observation from Marshall.
''It's the opposite, you would think Campbell would be like Vick,'' he said. ''But Jay Cut is like (Michael) Vick, and Jason is more of a pocket guy, I would say. Cut likes to run around a little bit, so that's a little opposite. But because of the picture we paint on black quarterbacks, it's supposed to be a guy who runs around a lot, but Jason does a good job in the pocket, really reading coverage, really taking control of the offense. We're fortunate to have him.''
NFL fans are a special breed, and they bring their own brand of craziness on game day.
Until this week, Campbell hadn't worked with the starters in practice since training camp.
How fast he can get on the same page with the rest of the starters remains to be seen, even if the players don't expect any problems there.
In particular, it'll be interesting to see how the dynamic between the star receiver and the quarterback changes. Marshall has a long history with Cutler from their days in Denver, but it'll be Campbell throwing to him on Monday night.
''I can't make up for four years that they've been together,'' Campbell said. ''But at the same time, you can see that on the field, when they play together, they see certain things together. A lot of that comes from the experience that they have from back in their days in Denver. But for me, just talking to B, we'll pretty much do what we do. At the same time, if we see things, then we see things. But we're not going to be trying to push the envelope on things that are just not there.''
