If you haven't run dungeons much or don't understand something then you should check "How to prepare for dungeons" first.

- Path 3 (Tzark/Colossus): Hardest path, still quite easy. Takes about 30-45 minutes with decent team. Needs some good damage for burrows-event. End-boss is quite tough.
Trap- and Spider-room

- At 75%/50%/25% spawns two random Ghosts (Silver).
- Focus.
- Scorpion Wire (1): 2 projectiles at every target (also stealthed). Pull. "Glows and pulls his sword".

Path 1: Scepter
First scepter
- Two burrow-chains. Each chain contains three burrows. Destroying a burrow spawns next one in chain (until all three are destroyed).
- Both chains start near Hodgins (one at the entrance, one other way).
- Burrows spawn multiple Graveling Hatchlings (Normal) and 1 Silver-Graveling (type varies on burrow, one burrow spawns 2-3 Graveling Scavengers (Silver) but no Hatchling).
- Destroy one chain as fast as possible to reduce amount of burrows from two to one.
- Usual tactic is to focus burrow-chain not near entrance because second burrow on entrance-chain spawns Scavengers (Silver).
- 0-1 players should stay close Hodgins to draw aggro.
- Spreading over room is effective if some people can destroy a burrow quickly (Warrior melee, Elementalist Frost-bow, Engineer Grenades, etc.).
Second Scepter - Great hall
- One player should stay near Hodgins and talk to him when all pieces have been collected.
- This prevents Hodgins aggroing on monsters when people run back forcing you to kill them.
- Bring mobility and survivability, grab pieces and run!
Howling King
- Ring of Fire: Ticking AoE. Very low damage and Burning per tick. Extreme damage on Silver-Gravelings.
- Hodgins doesn't need to be alive.
- Enemies: Gravelings (Silver) and Graveling Scavengers (Silver) run to arena occasionally. Leap causes Launch/Knockdown.
- Pull to Ring of Fire to kill.
- Dodge and use stun-breaks. Stay mobile!
- Try to fight King near back-wall to leave maximum amount of Ring of Fires between you and enemies.
- Spirit Scream: Channeled ranged-attack. High damage and 4 Confusion per tick. "Waves hands, huge beam".
- Run behind.
- Spirit Scream: Channeled cone. Low damage, 2 Confusion, Crippled, and Weakness per tick. "Spreads hands".
- Run behind.
Path 2: Ghosteater
- 1-2 players should stay down kiting, controlling and killing.
- Traps do the killing, keep enemies in the traps, not outside.
- Rest of the players should pull levers to spike incoming gravelings.
- Be prepare to defend yourself if gravelings slip through.
- At every 25%-health lost Detha kills nearby enemies.
Setting up traps
- Detha fixes traps one by one. Multiple Silver-Ghosts spawn.
- Don't push too much. Progression doesn't reset even if Detha dies.
- If Detha dies, clear area before resurrecting to not get over-run.
Ghost Eater
- Hit Ghost Eater to spawn Oozes. Use Anti-Spectral Ordnance to pull Oozes to trap. Pull Ghost Eater to trap to remove its Ghost Shield. Burst hard.
- Ectoplasmic Spew: Multiple projectiles (360 degrees) with ticking AoE. Medium damage and 3 Vulnerability per tick. "Spreads hands".
- Patriarch Swipe: 3 projectiles (cone). Medium damage, Crippled and 2 Bleeding per hit. Basic attack.
- Ectoplasmic Oozes: Spawns Ectoplasmic Oozes when hit. Pull Oozes to traps to power them up.
- Ghost Shield: Grants immunity to conditions and high damage reduction.
- Anti-Spectral Ordnance: Use Lift to raise Ooze. Use Pull to pull raised Ooze.
- You need at least two players to pull Oozes. One uses Lift while one uses Pull (decide roles).
- Alternatively pull Ghost Eater to trap so you have to only use Lift.
Path 3: Colossus
Tomb of lovers
- Bring plenty of offense to quickly destroy burrows and Breeders.
- Attacks based on object size are extremely effective (Elementalists Frost Bow skill 4 for example).
- Keep eye on the machines to peel off attackers.
Four burrows
- Attacking burrows from behind allows you to destroy them undetected (melee may work too).
- Enemies disappear upon killing last burrow. So it is possible to ignore enemies and move on next burrow.
- Shockwave: Multiple projectiles (360 degrees). Medium damage and Knockdown. "Slaps hands".
- Dodge.
- Patriarch Swipe (1): Melee. Medium damage, 10 Vulnerability, 3 Bleeding, Weakness and Crippled.

Beaded Leather Bracelet
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
A beginner can make this trendy beaded leather bracelet in less than an hour. The secret: heavy-duty double-sided tape. It makes adhering cabochons, beads and thread a breeze (it's so fast you won't believe it). You can make dozens of these to sell at a craft fair or give as gifts to your friends.
- Black leather bracelet or cuff
- Four flat-backed, diamond-shaped cabochons (we used olive green)
- Gold seed beads or clear Diamond Beadlets®
- Kreinik 1/16" Ribbon in 001J Japan Silver and 008HL Green Hi Lustre
- Black Facets
- 1-inch Treasure Tape roll
- Shallow pan or tray
Lay the Treasure Tape on the leather bracelet, covering the top entirely.
Remove the red liner to expose the sticky area.
Lay the green 1/16" Ribbon along the outer edge of the tape. Then lay it in triangle shapes within your border. Lay the silver 1/16" ribbon next to the green in the triangle areas. Add the Black Facets on the end triangle areas. (Or, make your own design with the thread.)
Lay the cabochons in the center of each triangle area.
- Lay the bracelet in a shallow pan and cover all remaining areas with gold or clear beads.

Compassion is in fashion.
New Zealand fashion designers will show in Dunedin this
weekend that what comes around, goes around.
iD Fashion Week publicist Amie Richardson's husband, Wayne
Biggs, was diagnosed with cancer just weeks before the 2014
iD Fashion Week in March.
The illness forced Mr Biggs (42) to leave his job as media
manager for NHNZ's ZooMoo children's channel and Ms
Richardson (36) to reduce her work to look after her husband
and children.
''Wayne's disease came without warning and has completely
turned our lives upside-down,'' Ms Richardson said yesterday.
''We have gone from being a normal family, coping with all
the typical everyday ups and downs of life with two small
children, to complete upheaval, facing a giant uphill battle
that seems to bring new challenges at every turn.''
Mr Biggs has been receiving chemotherapy for the aggressive
stage four lymphoma, in the hope of a bone marrow transplant.
Friends responded by establishing the Biggo Trust to help the
couple and their two sons, Oli (5) and Jasper (2).
New Zealand designers have donated more than $16,000 of items
to a fundraising fashion sale in Dunedin tomorrow.
''Aart on St Andrew owner Darryl McNamara and I wanted to do
something to help the family and let them to know they're not
alone on this journey,'' sale organiser and family friend
Merrin Bath said yesterday.
Ms Richardson said she was ''absolutely overwhelmed'' by the
support of the fashion community.
''I have worked with many of these extraordinary designers
during my time with iD Fashion Week and I am humbled by the
generosity and love they have shown to my family.''
Some of New Zealand's leading designers have donated clothing
to the sale, including Carlson, Charmaine Reveley, Company of
Strangers, Dada, Lela Jacobs, Moodie Tuesday, Mild-Red,
Mister, Tamsin Cooper, Nom*D, Silkbody and Storm.
''We wanted to do something practical to help the family,''
Dunedin designer Charmaine Reveley said.
''Amie has done so much to help designers at iD Fashion over
the years and we wanted to do something to show our
appreciation and help her back. Hopefully, it will really
well supported.''
The designer fashion sale is on from noon till 2pm tomorrow
at Aart on St Andrew.
Donations to the Biggs family can be made to The Biggo Trust,
03 1517 0055674 010, or via www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/thebiggotrust.

Wednesday May 1, 2013
By Aida Ahmad email@example.com
WHEN you arrive in a new city it is always good to know how to get around using public transport like the trains and buses. It is easier, cheaper (you pay so much more for taxis) and faster (no traffic!).
When I first arrived in New York City on an attachment programme, I was introduced to the HopStop app which made my commuting so easy.
This week we feature three useful public transport apps (all free to download) in you find yourself in cities such as Bangkok and Singapore as well as those in the US, Australia and some of Europe.
HopStop (Android, iOS)
This app is user-friendly and easy to use and not only gives you detailed subway and bus directions but it also provides walking and biking trails along transit maps, a station finder and schedules for cities in the US, Canada and Europe.
You can plan your entire trip by just using HopStop.
From your current location, it tells you which train to get on, gauges the distance, estimated time travel as well as cost for taxi, if you need one where there are no train access. As such, it gives you multiple route planning choices.
You can save your recent searches and favourite trips on My Trips. It even gives you wheelchair and stroller accessible friendly routes.
HopStop is also light on memory so it won't bog down your phone or tablet functions. Explore Singapore
(Android, iOS)
As a tourist, I found this app efficient and spot on. It shows the best routes to take, time of travel and fare.
The user interface is clean and uncomplicated.
The network map is comprehensive and provides accurate timings of the trains (unless there is a last-minute change).
The addition of a zoom function was a bonus.
Another useful aspect about this app
is it calculates the fastest way to get from one station to another using the different lines.
For example, Serangoon to Bukit Batok, Circle > EW Buona > NS Batok takes 32 minutes, compared to NE > EW Outram > NS Batok which takes 38 minutes. Bangkok Transport
(Android, iOS)
This app is great for Bangkok sub-ways.
It also connects the user to the BTS
skytrains, trains (MRT) and airport links.
The user interface is also simple and clean.
If you are new to Bangkok, this app lets you know the nearest station and precise GPS location wherever you are.
As with the other apps mentioned, it also provides a fare calculator.

What is it? A vertical cooking system for eggs.
What does it claim? To be as easy as 1, 2, 3! No butter, no fat, no mess. Simply perfect eggs!
Who tested it? Amie Lou Williams she's a full-time student, mom-to-be and Virginia Beach resident.
What Are The Instructions? Before getting started you should wash your Rollie Grill with the supplied brush and a small amount of dish soap. Be sure your appliance is unplugged before you do this. Be sure to avoid water contact with the cord plug and indicator lights. Once the appliance is rinsed and dried you're ready to go. Put your Rollie on a flat, heat-resistant level surface. Plug it in and the red light will come on to indicated the product is turned on. When the green light comes on you know it's ready to go. Then be sure to spray your the Rollie cooking chamber with non-stick oil spray. This is a very important step. Next crack open 1 to 2 eggs directly into the cooking chamber. For fully cooked eggs, cook approximately 6 to 8 minutes at which time the eggs may normally rise out of the cooking chamber. If they don't you can pour out your eggs. It's important to note you may have to shake the Rollie to get your eggs out or use a wooden skewer. If you like softer eggs, simply pour out eggs from the cooking chamber at 5 1/2 minutes.
Did it work? Williams was not impressed at all. While she did initially forget one main step in the process. She gave it another fair try and she said it failed. While it was not difficult to operate she wasn't very pleased with the results. She cooked her eggs in the Rollie grill for the length of time required but when they came out of it she didn't think they looked very appetizing. In fact she didn't even want to try them. She says with the Rollie it took her longer to cook an egg than it usually takes her to scrambles it. So when it comes to time and presentation she gives the Rollie Grill a thumbs down. She says she'll keep scrambling her eggs in a frying pan.
Cost/Availability? We purchased our Rollie Grill at RiteAid on sale for $14.98. But it is normally priced at $29.99

Birth and early growth of professional football
As college football thrived, professional football struggled for respectability. The group of teams that became the National Football League (NFL) was organized in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (changing its name in 1922), with Jim Thorpe as its nominal president. Former (and sometimes current) college stars had played for money since 1892, initially for athletic clubs in western Pennsylvania, then for the openly professional teams that were formed in mostly small towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois. In its first season, in 1920, the APFA had 14 teams, including George Halas's Decatur (Illinois) Staleys, who in 1922 became the Chicago Bears, the NFL's dominant team for much of its formative period. Joe Carr, an experienced promoter, succeeded Thorpe as president in 1921 and remained in that position until his death in 1939. Over the 1920s and early 1930s, league membership fluctuated between 8 and 22 teams, the majority not in large cities but in towns such as Akron, Canton, Dayton, and Massillon, all in Ohio; Racine, Wisconsin; and Rockford, Illinois. With professionalism widely regarded as the greatest danger to college football, professional football was little more respectable than professional wrestling. Red Granges's turning professional in 1925 provided a temporary boost to the professional game, but interest in professional football could be sustained only in those communities with franchises.
The NFL took its modern shape in 1933 under Carr's guidance, when it was reorganized in two five-team divisions of big-city clubs (with Green Bay the lone exception) whose leaders would meet at the end of the season for the NFL title. In the 1930s professional football was predominantly a working-class spectator sport. The preseason College All-Star Game, created by Chicago Tribune sports columnist Arch Ward in 1934 to pit the reigning NFL champion against a team of just-graduated collegians, helped break down the barrier between college and professional football. Over the 1930s and '40s the professional sport's popularity grew in NFL cities, particularly those such as New York without a major state university with which to compete for the community's loyalty. Minor professional leagues such as the American Association, Dixie League, and Pacific Coast Professional Football League had relatively modest local followings. The NFL was also successful enough to attract competitors. The American Football League was formed in 1926 by Grange and his agent, but it lasted just one year. A second (1936–37) and third (1940–41) AFL were also formed. Finally, the All-America Football Conference (1946–1949) seriously challenged the existing league and contributed the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and a first version of the Baltimore Colts to an expanded NFL in 1950. Yet professional football could offer the public nothing comparable to the compelling rivalries, youthful enthusiasm, and colourful pageantry of college football. It was only in the 1950s with the arrival of television that professional football could reach beyond the franchise cities to become a national sport.
Football for American youth
A fundamental aspect of football before the age of television was its local-rootedness. In the smallest towns, with no local college or professional team, community identity and pride were often invested in the high school team. In 1920, the year the predecessor of the NFL was organized, the forerunner of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFSHSA, later NFHS) was also formed, as the high school game was spreading throughout the country. Beginning in the 1930s, six-man and then eight-man versions made it possible for even the smallest rural schools to field teams.
Local passions for high school football varied widely, as certain communities became famous for investing in the schoolboy sport all of the intensity usually reserved for the big-time college game. The December play-off between the Catholic and public school champions in Chicago drew crowds as large as 120,000 in the 1930s, and states such as Ohio and Texas became renowned for their high school football passions. Youth leagues were also formed in most communities, some through elementary schools, others through local clubs, some of which were affiliated with national organizations such as the Catholic Youth Organization or Pop Warner Football. Concern about injuries was always an issue in youth football, but the game was widely assumed to be character-building. By the end of the 1930s, football had been established not just as an intercollegiate, interscholastic, and professional sport but also as a part of the very fabric of American life.

Drink Recommendations from Star Liquor, 1209 Williamson Street, 255-8041
Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese (Dairy or Vegan)
Recipe reprinted with permission from The Vegetarian Family Cookbook by Nava Atlas
- 12 oz whole-wheat elbow macaroni or other tubular pasta
- 3 Tbs. unbleached flour
- *1 1/2 cups low fat milk, soymilk or rice milk
- *2 Tbs. non-hydrogenated margarine or butter
- *1 1/2 to 2 cups grated Cheddar cheese or non-dairy Cheddar-style cheese
- Salt, pepper and hot sauce (optional) to taste
Directions: Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling water until al dente; then drain. Meanwhile, dissolve the flour in 1/2 cup of the milk and then combine with remaining milk, margarine and cheese in a saucepan. Slowly bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often. Cook over low heat until the sauce is smooth and thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Combine the cooked macaroni and the cheese sauce and stir together. Season to taste with salt, pepper and hot sauce if using. If desired, transfer the mixture to an oiled 9-inch baking pan, sprinkle the top with fresh bread crumbs and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crusty.
Note: Hot sauce will bring out the flavor of the cheese; use a few drops or more to taste.
Star Recommends: Riouolo, Prosecco, Italy

- 2 cups stewed tomatoes
- 2 medium turnips or 1 rutabaga, chopped
- 1 medium potato, chopped
- 1 cup water, broth or tomato juice
- 1/2 tsp. salt

- Pinch of ground nutmeg and allspice
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas

- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cups hot cooked couscous or rice
- 2 Tbs. slivered almonds, toasted

Star Recommends: Parducci Vineyards, Petite Sirah

This Petite Sirah (not to be confused with Syrah) is deeply colored with aromas of black fruit and bramble. On the palate it's expansive and mouth-coating with complex flavors and moderate tannins.
Jeanne's Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Recipe submitted by Jeanne R. Tentis, Willy Street Co-op Owner and cooking instructor
- 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, cleaned and broken into florets
- 4 cups turkey or chicken broth, homemade or high quality, divided use (2c +1c+1c) (veggie broth can be substituted, if desired)
- 4 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, cut into a small dice
- Heaping 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups half and half or whole milk
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- Toasted crouton, plain or garlic, see note
- Flat leaf parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions: Cook cauliflower in 2 cups of broth until fork tender, but not mushy. Drain and reserve broth. Reserve 1 cup of the florets and set aside. In food processor, puree remaining florets with the reserved cooking broth. Melt butter in a large pot and sweat the onions until soft. Add the flour and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium low heat. Add 1 cup of broth and mix, cooking until thickened. Add the pureed cauliflower and blend well. Thin with additional 1 cup broth as needed. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the reserved florets and the half and half or milk. Cook on low until heated through; do not boil. Check again for seasoning and adjust. Serve with a toasted crouton and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Note: Jeanne Tentis suggests this method for the crouton: I usually get a baguette, cut it on an angle about 1/2 inch thick, rub it with olive oil and sometimes garlic. I then toast both sides under the broiler until golden. Any kind of crouton would work but this is my version and it works really well. I especially like to use garlic as it adds a punch to the creamy soup.

38 CFR 36.4286 - Partial or total loss of guaranty.
(a) There shall be no guaranty liability on the part of the Secretary in respect to any loan as to which a signature to the note, the mortgage or other security instrument is a forgery. Except as to a holder who acquired the loan instrument before maturity, for value, and without notice, and who has not directly or by agent participated in the fraud, or in the misrepresentation hereinafter specified, any willful and material misrepresentation or fraud by the lender, or by a holder, or the agent of either, in procuring the guaranty shall relieve the Secretary of liability, or shall constitute a defense against liability on account of the guaranty of the loan in respect to which the willful misrepresentation, or the fraud, is practiced: Provided, That if a misrepresentation, although material, is not made willfully, or with fraudulent intent, it shall have only the consequences prescribed in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
(b) In taking security required by 38 U.S.C. 3712 and the § 36.4200 series, a holder shall obtain the required lien on real property the title to which is such as to be acceptable to prudent lending institutions, informed buyers, title companies, and attorneys, generally in the community in which the property is situated: Provided, That a title will not be unacceptable by reason of any of the limitations on the quantum or quality of the property or title stated in § 36.4253. If such holder fails in this respect or fails to comply with any of the requirements of 38 U.S.C. 3712 and the § 36.4200 series with respect to:
(1) Obtaining and retaining a lien of the dignity prescribed on all property upon which a lien is required by 38 U.S.C. 3712 or the § 36.4200 series,
(9) Failure of the lender to see that any escrowed or earmarked account is expended in accordance with the agreement,
(10) The taking into consideration of limitations upon the quantum or quality of the estate or property,
(11) Any other requirement of 38 U.S.C. 3712 or the § 36.4200 series which does not by the terms of said section or regulations result in relieving the Secretary of all liability with respect to the loan,
no claim on the guaranty shall be paid on account of the loan with respect to which such failure occurred, or in respect to which an unwillful misrepresentation occurred, until the amount by which the ultimate liability of the Secretary would thereby be increased has been ascertained. The burden of proof shall be upon the holder to establish that no increase of ultimate liability is attributable to such failure or misrepresentation. The amount of increased liability of the Secretary shall be offset by deduction from the amount of the guaranty otherwise payable, or if consequent upon loss of security shall be offset by crediting to the indebtedness the amount of the impairment as proceeds of the sale of security in the final accounting to the Secretary. To the extent the loss resultant from the failure of misrepresentation prejudices the Secretary's right of subrogation acceptance by the holder of the guaranty payment shall subordinate the holder's right to those of the Secretary.
(c) If after the payment of a guaranty, or after a loan is transferred pursuant to § 36.4281, the fraud, misrepresentation, or failure to comply with the regulations concerning guaranty of loans to veterans as provided in this section is discovered and the Secretary determines that an increased loss to the Government resulted therefrom, the transferee or person to whom such payment was made shall be liable to the Secretary for the amount of the loss caused by such misrepresentation or failure.
Title 38 published on 2014-07-01

Libraries and the Internet
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: Now, today's other major Supreme Court decision: Upholding the use of filters to block Internet pornography on computers in public libraries. And once again to Jan Crawford Greenburg. Jan, first, the facts of this case.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: This case involved a challenge to the children's Internet protection act. That's a law congress passed in 2000 to protect children from harmful material that they may access on the Internet, at libraries. It required libraries to install filters on their computers that patrons use. If they don't install these filters, then the libraries would lose federal money.
JIM LEHRER: And the argument for the filters– and the people who argued that case before the Supreme Court in a nutshell– to protect children.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: That's right. The Bush administration also, President Clinton actually had signed this bill into law, and the Bush administration stepped in and said this was an important law because we need to protect children from obscene material, pornography and other things they could easily access on the Internet. Now, on the other side…
JIM LEHRER: The library association and folks like that.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: A group of libraries, patrons, some Web site operators have said, "wait a minute. This is all well and good that we want to protect children, but this also infringes on the first amendment free speech rights of adults," because these filters are extremely imprecise. They block much, much more information than even should be blocked. In fact, the argument the lawyer representing these organizations said, tens of thousands of sites are improperly being blocked. So their point was adults who are going into the libraries to do research or whatever are not accessing material that under the First Amendment they have a right to see.
JIM LEHRER: The majority didn't go with them. The majority went the law 6-3. In other words, the vote was 6- 3.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: That's right. Actually, this is kind of a tricky case because there wasn't a majority. It was a plurality opinion written by the chief, but he could only get three justices to join him to say that this law presented no problems under the First Amendment. So the chief's opinion got the votes of three justices, not enough, obviously, one more he needed. And then Justice Kennedy and Justice Breyer who wanted to uphold this law wrote separate opinions.
They said… so their opinions actually will in a way be the most important, because they're going to limit what the plurality says. In those opinions, Kennedy and Breyer said, "we think this law should be upheld because the libraries can simply turn these filters off." It's not so burdensome on adults before they go to the libraries to go up to the front desk and say, "I'm an adult. I'm doing research or I just want to use the computer. Turn the filter off."
Kennedy and Breyer stressed that essentially that the law would require that and that the adults didn't have to explain why they wanted the filter off so they wouldn't be embarrassed or be doing anything that they wouldn't want the front desk person to know about. If, in fact, the libraries refused to do that, then an adult patron could come back and say, "I have a constitutional right to this material," and raise a new legal claim.
JIM LEHRER: So in other words, this isn't finally resolved?
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: It is, essentially. Because what this means is libraries now are going to have to go out and install this filtering software on their computers in order to get the federal money. This law has never taken effect. It's been blocked by a special three-judge court, and many libraries have never gone through the hoops to install these filters.
JIM LEHRER: There could be fights over how they… how they use…
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: But it's how it's applied on case-by-case basis. That's how the law could be challenged. That's where this law is still susceptible. But of course the libraries and some of the adult patrons had not wanted that to be an issue at all.
JIM LEHRER: But the bottom line today is, like it or not, libraries have to put these filters on.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: If they want the federal money, that's right. And the adults, as Justice Kennedy and Justice Breyer suggested in their separate opinions, won't be burdened because they can just ask for these filters to be turned off. The interesting thing is that's not really in the law, but Justices Kennedy and Breyer suggested it was. So it is.
JIM LEHRER: We'll see what happens next on that one. Thank you very much, Jan.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: You're welcome.

Critical Essay by The Virginia Quarterly Review
One is impressed by several qualities in [the poems collected in Maxine Kumin's The Nightmare Factory]: depth and range, delicately controlled yet forceful emotion, and the unobtrusive presence of formal devices. Miss Kumin never settles for superficial treatment of her material although she deals with an extensive range of subjects. From her "pastoral" poems, which move beyond the idyllic to realistic cycles of birth and decay, through her "tribal" poems, in which she manages to focus on various of her familial situations without making the reader uncomfortable by the willing surrender of privacy, to her poems involving the pains dealt to body and psyche by the experiences of love, loss, sickness, uncertainty, she is always ready with the image, the insight, the detail that takes the reader into a deeper realization of the poem.

WTF Wednesday: Pistol Opera [Movie]
Posted on May 30, 2013 AT 12:45am
I love movies, regardless of language. Japanese cinema is one of my favorite types, mostly because they seem unafraid of being as crazy as they want to be. This week, I'm going to share something really special with you: Pistol Opera. The name sounds like it would be either a musical, or a hard action flick with a really high body count. Well, the body count in this movie isn't high, but I think the director was.
Pistol Opera follows Miyuki "Stray Cat" Minazuki, the third best assassin in the world. She is a part of the Assassin's Guild, and her goal in life is to eventually become the top assassin of the guild, even if that means taking out the number one killer herself. It just so happens that "Thousand Eyes", the number one, has a price on their head due to putting the guild into a crippled state. Miyuki must best her deadly peers if she wants to bring Thousand Eyes down. The other assassins are a rogue's gallery of strange individuals: The Teacher, a wheelchair-bound man who never parts with his tracksuit; The Painless Surgeon, a nigh invulnerable Western doctor with an appetite for Japanese women; Dark Horse, a mysterious blonde fellow with a black cloak and a penchant for leaving his victims with a smile. There is also Miyuki's friend/enemy/lover(?) Sayoko Uekyo, who may keep a chaise in her white robe in case she needs to lay dramatically at any given time.
It sounds like a fantastic plot, doesn't it? I want you to step away from that thought. This movie isn't about the plot. It's about the cinematics, the drama, the staging… The bizarre. The way the characters are framed on camera, the movements of the actors, the music cues, how the cast interacts… Some may call it art, others merely will see insanity. This, my friends, is a wonderful trip of a movie as long as you don't try too hard to understand it. Pistol Opera was directed by Seijun Suzuki, who was once canned from Nikkatsu Corporation [a Japanese studio which was very popular in the 70s/80s] for being too weird. In an interview for the movie Branded to Kill [which Pistol Opera is a spiritual sequel/remake], Seijun said: "They told me my films didn't make money and they didn't make sense, so they fired me"
I don't want you to just imagine how weird it is. First, I want to you to check out the trailer. Then, if you're brave enough, watch the whole thing! Maybe next week, I'll have something in English. But hey, maybe it'll be Danish, or Russian, or Arabic, or French! The whole world is weird, and we're gonna travel the globe!

The present invention relates to a device for reducing the pain and discomfort commonly associated with the administration of a local anesthetic injection.
It is well know that local anesthetics have been used to locally numb areas or regions of the body so that surgical treatments can be performed without resorting to a general anesthesia. A common example is the local anesthesia injection by a dentist when working in the mouth area.
Common local anesthetics currently employed may be lidocaine or the like. Most, if not all, local anesthetic formulations are acidic, with a pH below 7.0. It has been determined by scientific investigations that the acidic nature of a local anesthetic formulation principally causes the pain and discomfort associated with an interdermal injection. lidocaine, for example, is manufactured with a pH of 4.5 (range 3.5 to 5.5), which makes it more soluble and stable and has the desirable result of an extended shelf life.
In order to alleviate the pain experienced by local anesthetic injections doctors often add sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to the selected anesthetic in order to alkalize the medication. Several articles have been written on the subject matter such as follows:
Christoph R. A. Buchanan L., et al.: Pain Reduction in Local Anesthetic Administration Through pH Buffering. Annal of Emerg Med 1988. 17, 117-120.
Stewart J. H. Chinn S. E. et al.: Neutralized Lidocaine with Epinephrine for Local Anesthesia. J. Dermatol Surg Oncol 1990. 16, 842-845.
Steinbrook R. A. Hughes N. et al.: Effects of Alkalinization of Lidocaine on the Pain of Skin Infiltration and Intravenous Catheterization. J. Clin Anesth, 5 Nov./Dec. 1993, 456-456.
Armel H. E. and Horowitz M., Alkalinization of Local Anesthesia with Sodium Bicarbonate-Preferred Method of Local Anesthesia. Urology. 1994. 43, 101.
It is known that when a medical buffering solution, such as sodium bicarbonate, is added just prior to injection, the result is a decrease in pain experienced by the patient. On the other hand, if the buffering solution is added to the anesthetic well prior to the injection, such as at the factory site, the efficacy of the medication is significantly reduced, and the end result is unsatisfactory. Consequently, it is extremely important that a device be developed which can mix a buffering solution with a local anesthetic prior to use, and which is disposable.
Presently, sodium bicarbonate is added to a local anesthetic by a doctor, it is done by using a syringe to draw in a certain amount of sodium bicarbonate solution from a bottle, or vial and then added to an anesthetic bottle or vial. The two agents are thereafter physically mixed by tipping or turning the bottle up and down. This method is clearly inconvenient, whereas my present device permits the above procedure to be performed in a quick and easy manner.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a disposable device or cartridge having a buffering solution, such as sodium bicarbonate, but not limited thereto, which can be removably attached to a local anesthetic carpule�, which is capable of easily and rapidly transferring the buffering solution to the anesthetic.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a dual compartment vial system for adding a buffering solution in an upper compartment to a local anesthetic in a lower compartment whereby the solutions are mixed and the resultant solution can be withdrawn by a syringe, such as a standard medical syringe.
A further feature of the present invention is to provide a cartridge for containing the buffering solution having an internal means for transferring the buffering solution to a standard dental carpule. However, different size carpules, or similar vehicles, can be used to handle the medication mixture.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a sealed carrier for a buffering solution that can be easily and rapidly attached to a standard dental carpule, and is designed for a single usage and then discarded.
The above and other objects and features of the invention will become apparent by reference to the following description of my invention and the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the device for alkalizing local injection medication prior to attachment to the anesthetic carrier in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the cartridge assembled with the anesthetic carrier.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view taken along the lines 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of alternate embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the device for alkalizing local injection medication.
FIG. 6 is a sectional exploded view of an alternate embodiment for a device for alkalizing local injection medication.
FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the device shown in FIG. 6 with the device being applied to a carpule for transfer of the buffering solution to the carpule containing the local injection medication, and
FIG. 8 is an exploded view of an embodiment of the present invention having an intermediate cylinder with a double-edged needle.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3 the device for alkalizing local injection medication in the dental and medical field is shown as a cartridge referred to generally by the reference numeral 10. The cartridge 10, which is preferably manufactured of plastic, is generally cylindrical and has an enclosed chamber 12 provided with a buffering solution B, such as sodium bicarbonate. Depending from the bottom of the chamber 12 is a cylindrical protective skirt 14 provided with interior, spaced bumps 16. It should be apparent that the skirt 14 which surrounds the needle 20 functions as a safety feature protecting the user from accidental injury by the needle. The cartridge is intended for a single use. The seal 18 for chamber 12 is constituted of rubber, or some other material that can be penetrated or punctured. Substantially centrally located in the seal 18 is a needle 20. The needle, although inserted within the seal 18, does not penetrate initially into the chamber 12.
The above-described cartridge 10 functions in conjunction with a local anesthetic carrier such as a dental carpule 22. The carpule is initially open ended at opposite ends 24 and 26 respectively. One end 24, which is the needle end, is closed by a rubber membrane 28 while the opposite end 26 is closed by a rubber plunger 30 after the anesthetic liquid placed therein. However, the plunger 30 is spaced interiorly from the adjacent end of the carpule. The carpule 22 is of the type currently used by health professionals and is a glass tube having a premeasured amount of local anesthetic LA in it.
The procedure in connection with the actuation of the device is as follows: The dentist, or any health professional, pushes the cartridge 10 on the carpule 22 from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 2. In this connection, the bumps 16 on the inner surfaces of the skirt 14 are utilized to pass over the end 24 of the carpule 22 to position the carpule within the cartridge, and to ride into the groove 36 forming the neck of the carpule. A stop member 38 affixed to the needle 20 is located within the skirt 14. When the cartridge is pushed in the direction of the arrow 40 the stop mechanism 38 moves to the position shown in the dotted lines in FIG. 3 abutting the seal 18, and the needle end 20a is forced through seal 18 into chamber 12. At the same time the other end 20b of the needle is forced through the rubber membrane 28 and enters the carpule 22 so that the buffering solution B enters the carpule 22 having the local anesthetic therein, the rubber stopper 30 in the opposite end of the carpule moves toward the adjacent end so that added volume of buffering solution can be accommodated in the carpule. When this occurs the buffering solution, such as sodium bicarbonate, or sodium hydroxide, flows from the chamber 12 in the cartridge 10 into the carpule 22. Thereafter, the two solutions are mixed with or without the employment of a mixing ball 42. The cartridge 10 can then be discarded.
When it is desired to use the carpule in connection with injecting a local anesthetic into a patient the carpule having the buffering solution combined with the anesthetic is placed into a syringe (not shown), and the plunger 30 of the carpule is engaged by an element of the syringe to force the local anesthetic into the area of the body that is to be treated. Since the local anesthetic has been alkalized a considerable amount of the pain associated with local anesthetic injections has been eliminated.
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention which is a dual compartment vial referred to generally by the reference numeral 44 having an upper compartment 46 and a lower compartment 48. The upper compartment 46 is provided with a buffering solution B such as sodium bicarbonate, while the lower compartment 48 has a local anesthetic solution LA. The upper and lower compartments are kept separate initially by means of an internal plunger 50. Closing the open top of compartment 46 is a second stopper-plunger 52.
In order to mix the buffering solution B with the local anesthetic LA downward pressure is applied on the plunger 52 as indicted by arrow 54. This pressure increases the hydrostatic pressure in compartment 46 which forces the internal plunger 50 in to the lower compartment 48. The two component solutions B and LA are then mixed and the mixture can be withdrawn through the stopper-plunger 52 by means of a standard medical syringe.
An alternate embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 5 in which a syringe 56 having a buffering solution therein is provided with a cylindrical protective skirt 58. The needle 62 of the syringe is positioned within the skirt 58.
In order to connect or apply the syringe 56 to the carpule 22 the skirt of the syringe is force fitted over the needle end of the carpule 22, and is pushed onto the carpule to form a friction fit over the outer surface of the carpule. When that happens the needle punctures the membrane 66 of the carpule and the buffering solution in the syringe can be transferred to the carpule by pressing the plunger 68 downwardly so that the solution therein is completely expelled or transferred to the carpule 22.
It should be noted that the present devices for alkalizing local anesthetic medication can be utilized in general medical, dental and veterinary applications, and complies strictly with sanitary requirements by being packaged in a sterile manner.
Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7, an alternate embodiment of the present invention is shown in which a carpule 22, such as a standard dental carpule, although not restricted thereto, is provided with a buffering device 70 holding a buffering solution. The device has an internal stopper 72 having a needle 74. The needle is firmly held in the stopper 72 by means of a rigid plate 76 of metal, plastic or any other suitable material. The device 70 is provided with a depending protective skirt 78. FIG. 7 shows the buffering device being pushed in the direction of arrow 80 so that the skirt 78 fits frictionally over one end of the carpule 22 while needle 74 punctures the diaphragm 28 of the carpule 22. When the device and the carpule are squeezed together the buffering solution is injected in the local anesthetic carpule through the needle 74.
FIG. 8 is another alternate embodiment of the present invention and as illustrated in FIGS. 1-3a standard dental carpule 22 is provided with a local anesthetic, said carpule 22 having a rubber diaphragm 28 at one end and a rubber plunger or stopper (not shown) at the opposite end of the type shown in FIG. 1.
The present device includes an intermediate cylinder 82 which is open on both ends and is provided with a double-ended needle 84-86 which projects in opposite directions in the cylinder, and both the needles are protected by depending skirts 88 and 90, respectively. The cylinder 82 is located between the carpule 22 and a buffer cartridge 92 which contains a predetermined amount of buffering solution.
In order to activate and alkalize the local anesthetic in the dental carpule 22 the carpule in the cylinder 82 is pushed on the carpule in the direction shown by the arrow X, with the needle 86 puncturing the diaphragm 28 of the carpule while the cartridge 92, with the buffering solution is slid on the back end of the cylinder 82, as shown by the arrow Y.
When the carpule 22, cylinder 82 and cartridge 92 are squeezed together the needle 84 penetrates through diaphragm 28 of the cartridge 92 while the needle 86 penetrates through rubber stopper 94 of the carpule thus permitting the transfer of the buffering solution in the cartridge 92 to the carpule by means of said double ended needle 84-86 in the cylinder 82.
Although the present invention has been disclosed and described with reference to the two embodiments thereof, it should be apparent that other variations and modifications may be made, and it is intended that the following claims cover said variations within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Japan rubbish worker finds $144,000 cash in trash
Published on Dec 19, 2012 12:17 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - A worker at a waste disposal site in Japan found around S$144,000 cash in a stream of pulverised rubbish, police said on Wednesday.
"There were about a thousand 10,000 yen ($144) bills that came out of a pulveriser unscathed," said a spokesman at the Asaminami police department in Hiroshima prefecture, in the country's west.
He added that there were also 2,300 fragments of bills destroyed by the machine at a municipal facility that processes bulky waste, such as cupboards and mattresses, that cannot be collected by regular garbage pickup.
Police suspect the owner of the cash might have forgotten the money was there when they threw away some furniture.

Gonzalez, Headley homer in Padres' win
MILWAUKEE The San Diego Padres are starting to think about the postseason.
With a six-game lead in the NL West and one of the NL's best hitters on the roster, it'd be hard for them not to.
Adrian Gonzalez hit his 25th homer, Chase Headley homered too, and the Padres beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-3 on Sunday.
"You can start to smell it," Headley said. "We've got a month and change left to go and we're in good position.
"I think everybody is worried about going out there and giving it there all each and every day," he said. "Every win kind of gets you one bit closer to where you want to be. I think that's the mentality that everybody has."
San Diego (74-49) can match last year's victory total of 75 wins when the Padres return home Tuesday night against Arizona. The San Francisco Giants lost Sunday to fall further behind in the division race.
The Padres lost the first two games of the series, but got a solid outing from starter Jon Garland (13-8) and improved to 14-1 in games following two straight losses.
"Good pitching and defense is going to win games," Gonzalez said. "If we continue to do that we're not going to go into a losing streak because pitching and defense prevails."
Garland's scoreless-innings streak ended at 21 innings when he gave up Ryan Braun's 18th home run in the fifth, but he won his third straight start and four of five.
Manny Parra (3-10) gave up seven runs in six innings on eight hits and four walks. He struck out five. The left-hander is 0-5 with a 7.42 ERA in his last eight starts and manager Ken Macha said he and general manager Doug Melvin have considered replacing the left-hander in the rotation.
"I had a brief discussion with Doug," Macha said. "Talked a little bit about perhaps who's coming up and maybe giving somebody else a call."
Gonzalez went deep in the first and Headley connected for his 10th homer in the second for a 2-0 lead, but San Diego blew the game open by taking advantage of Parra's wildness in the fifth and sixth innings. Three of the four batters the Brewers starter walked in those two innings ended up scoring.
"My fastball command was terrible all day," Parra said. "And that's what came back to bite me. I'm frustrated overall with the fastball command. It's consistently terrible. Today, it was absolutely terrible."
Milwaukee had plenty of chances against Garland (13-8), but left two runners stranded in the first, third, fourth and sixth innings. The right-hander pitched 5 1-3 innings, giving up two runs on eight hits and three walks with four strikeouts.
"Breaking ball early on with spotting the fastball kept them off-balance," Garland said. "I was able to make pitches when I needed to."
Four San Diego relievers pitched 3 2-3 innings of relief, allowing a two-out RBI single to Braun in the ninth.
Luis Durango, making his first start since being recalled from the minors Saturday, walked to open the fifth and stole second base. David Eckstein then walked, and Gonzalez walked with two outs to load the bases.
