KOCHI: Drishya Rose Thomas never spared a thought when asked why she loved reading The Hindu newspaper.
"It is undoubtedly the country's best newspaper. The Hindu has been maintaining its standard for the last several years", she said.
A student of the MBA programme at the SCMS School of Technology and Management (SSTM) at Muttom near here, Drishya is part of the growing tribe of youngsters maintaining their strong loyalty towards India's national newspaper.
The Hindu is analysed threadbare daily, as part of a classroom learning programme launched by the SSTM under the SCMS Group. Explains D. Radhakrishnan Nair, Professor of English: "The Hindu newspaper analysis is part of the Business Communication paper for the MBA students. The internal assessment component has been converted in to a practical programme, where students analyse the various contents in a newspaper. The classroom becomes a newsroom through this unique process. We selected The Hindu for the project, as it remains the best newspaper in the country". Supporting Deepthi's views, Arjun K. K elaborated on the daily learning programme: "We have to write one article each from sections that include international, national, State, sports, editorial, culture and business. All the articles should be analysed and we should paste them in our notebook and also write a comment on it".

Become a Nurse Esthetician: Education and Career Roadmap
Learn how to become a nurse esthetician. Research the career requirements, licensure information and experience required for starting a career in nurse esthetics.
Do I Want to Be a Nurse Esthetician?
Individuals who are employed as nurse estheticians (also called aesthetic nurses) are licensed nurses who perform advanced cosmetic skin care and appearance enhancement procedures, such as Botox treatments and cosmetic filler injections. They may also assist doctors in advising patients about procedures and taking steps to prevent complications. They typically work in medical offices that provide clinical appearance enhancement services. Sometimes they are employed in hospitals, working on the skin or appearance of patients who have suffered some sort of trauma or who have been through a surgery. In those cases, nurse estheticians may often work with the terminally ill. In most respects, these professionals may spend many hours standing to perform their duties.
Job Requirements
Both the cosmetic procedures that nurses are allowed to perform and the training needed to perform them vary by state. Although some states allow licensed practical nurses (LPNs) or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) to perform advanced cosmetic procedures, employers tend to hire registered nurses (RNs) for aesthetic nurse positions. In addition to a nursing license, procedure-specific training is required for nurse estheticians. The following table gives an overview of the requirements to become a nurse esthetician.
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|LPNs/LVNs usually earn a certificate; RNs need at least a diploma, but associate's and bachelor's degrees are also common*
|Degree Field
|State nursing licensure is essential* and lifesaving certification may be required;** certification is available for some specific procedures, but it is not always needed***
|Varies - entry-level jobs exist, but some employers prefer 3 or more years of experience in a related role**
|Key Skills
|Strong listening and interpersonal skills, empathy and sound judgment*
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **job postings by employers (August 2012), ***various state nursing and health boards.
Step 1: Complete Nurse Training
The first step to working in this field is to acquire general training in nursing through an LPN/LVN or RN program. LPNs/LVNs usually need to complete a yearlong certificate program that includes both classroom study and hands-on practical training. Aspiring RNs may choose from diploma, associate's or bachelor's degree programs. Diploma and associate's degree programs usually take 2 or 3 years, while Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree programs typically take 4 years to finish.
Step 2: Pass the National Licensure Exam
To become a licensed nurse, it's necessary to pass a national licensure exam after completing nursing school. LPNs/LVNs must take the NCLEX-PN, and RNs need to pass the NCLEX-RN. In order to register and take the test, state nursing board authorization is typically required.
Step 3: Obtain Licensure
State health or nursing boards are usually responsible for regulating the licensing of nurses. After completing accredited training programs and passing the national licensure exam, aspiring nurses may apply for state licensure. Additional requirements vary by state, and may include a background check. States do not offer licenses specifically for nurse estheticians.
Step 4: Gain Esthetics-specific Training
Generally, only medical professionals, such as nurses and doctors, may perform complex and invasive skin care and appearance enhancement procedures. Medical professionals who want to perform these treatments usually need to obtain continuing education in the form of procedure-specific training. This training is generally available from product manufacturers and medical esthetics institutes. Training programs may offer certification in certain procedures, but most states do not require treatment-specific certification or licensing.

Akin to a large, flat (i.e. unrolled) omelette, frittatas are the perfect brunch item, in my book. It's a vehicle for all sorts of toppings, here salty and spicy merguez sausage, rich green winter kale, chunks of roasted sweet potato, and delicate caramelized onions. All of the ingredients can be prepped in advance, so all you need to do is mix the eggs and add the ingredients about 20 minutes before you want to eat.
This recipe serves two, but it can be easily doubled or tripled to feed your group. Just use a larger sauté pan and be sure to cook the frittata until the center is just set — it will certainly take longer in the oven. Serve with toasted slices of hearty farm bread, fresh butter, and jam.
--Allison Beck
Merguez, Kale, and Sweet Potato Frittata
Serves: 2
1 Sweet potato, peeled and chopped into 1/4-by-1/2-inch chunks
Olive oil, for roasting
Salt, to taste
2 links Merguez sausage, casings removed
6 ounces baby kale, washed and torn into 3-inch pieces
4 eggs
2 ounces grated cheese, preferably fontina or Gruyère
2 yellow onions, finely sliced

FDA seeks more authority amid meningitis outbreak
Wednesday - 11/14/2012, 8:57pm EST
By MATTHEW PERRONE
AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The head of the Food and Drug Administration asked Congress Wednesday for more authority to police pharmacies like the one that triggered a deadly meningitis outbreak, even as lawmakers questioned why the agency didn't do more with its existing powers.
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg called for new laws to clarify her agency's authority to crack down on companies like the New England Compounding Center, which distributed contaminated pain injections that have sickened more than 460 Americans and caused 32 deaths.
Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee spent most of the first hearing on the outbreak questioning state and federal regulators about why they didn't act sooner against the company.
A timeline assembled by the committee's Republican staff showed that the FDA and the Massachusetts board of pharmacy investigated the pharmacy more than a dozen times in the past decade. In particular, lawmakers pointed to a 2002 FDA inspection that found contamination issues with the same steroid implicated in the latest recall.
"I was stunned and angered to learn that an inspection of the NECC by the FDA and the Massachusetts board of pharmacy over 10 years ago identified contamination in the very same drug at issue in the current outbreak," said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., who chairs the committee.
Hamburg told lawmakers that the problems uncovered in inspections were "very serious," but that the agency was obligated to defer to Massachusetts authorities, who have more direct oversight over pharmacies.
Hamburg emphasized repeatedly the difficulty of taking action against compounding pharmacies, which have long operated in a legal gray area between state and federal law.
"The challenge we have today is that there is a patchwork of legal authorities that oversee the regulatory actions we can take," said Hamburg, who was nominated to head the FDA by President Obama in 2009.
Compounding pharmacies traditionally fill special orders placed by doctors for individual patients, turning out a small number of customized formulas each week. They are typically overseen by state pharmacy boards.
In the last two decades some compounders, like the NECC, have grown into large businesses that ship thousands of doses of drugs to multiple states. Hamburg said that when her agency tries to intervene in those cases they face a "crazy quilt," of court rulings, which are split on whether the federal government has authority over pharmacies.
Republicans pressed Hamburg to answer simple "yes or no" questions about the agency's stance, to which she countered with lengthy, nuanced explanations. Lawmakers repeatedly accused the commissioner of evading their questions.
"You're the grand poobah of the FDA and I'm asking you, `could you have prevented this tragedy?' and you're saying you couldn't have because you don't have jurisdiction," said Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., in one particularly heated exchange.
"No, I'm saying it's very hard to know if any one action we might have taken would have stopped this terrible tragedy," Hamburg said.
Even some Democrats, who normally side with Obama administration officials at such hearings, seemed to lose their patience.
"We have to figure out how to give you the jurisdiction to do what you need to do ... and these inconclusive answers are not helping us," said Rep. Diana DeGette, D- Colo.
In prepared testimony, Hamburg suggested putting in place a two-tier system in which traditional compounding pharmacies continue to be regulated at the state level, but larger pharmacies would be subject to FDA oversight. Hamburg said regulators would have to consider multiple factors, including how much interstate business a pharmacy does, to identify non-traditional compounders.
These non-traditional pharmacies would have to register with the FDA and undergo regular inspections, similar to pharmaceutical manufacturers. Large compounding pharmacies would also have to meet the more stringent manufacturing standards required of pharmaceutical companies.
Earlier in the hearing, the owner and director of the NECC declined to testify, invoking his Fifth Amendment right to not answer questions in order to avoid self-incrimination.
Despite his silence, lawmakers repeatedly pressed Barry Cadden to account for the problems that led to the outbreak.
"Mr. Cadden, what explanation can you give the families who have lost their loved ones, and those who are gravely ill, for the actions of your company?" asked Stearns, who heads the subcommittee on oversight and investigations.
Flanked by two lawyers, Cadden told lawmakers, "Under advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer under basis of my constitutional rights and privileges, including the Fifth Amendment."
Federal officials have opened a criminal investigation of Cadden and the NECC.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) will be hosting the inaugural Asian Schools Track and Field championships from Sept 17-25.
Rugby, the other sport to be contested at the Asian schools level for the first time, will be hosted by Hong Kong from July 19-23.
Deputy director-general in the Ministry of Education Sufa'at Tumin confirmed the decisions after launching the MSSM 2013 calendar.
MSSM will have 24 national schools events and will be involved in seven international events.
Besides rugby and athletics, the other Asian level meets are the Under-15 and Under-18 football tournaments which will be organised by Brunei in August and Sri Lanka in October respectively.
Ten-pin bowling will be held in Indonesia in March. The ASEAN Schools Games will be in Vietnam from June 22-July 2 while Malaysia will host the Little Athletics International with Singapore and Western Australia in the fray.
Sufa'at said that the track and field will be a good championship to look forward to as the athletes will come from countries like China, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East.
"It will be a very competitive meet. We must be ready to host it not just organisationally but in terms of competing in it.
"I hope our team will be prepared well in advance. When you have an international meet next year then the preparations must start now. Don't leave it until the last minute," said Sufa'at.
The Ministry has allocated RM6mil for organising all the MSSM meets this year.
Sufa'at said the amount was the same allocated last year.
The national MSSM meets will be held during the first and second term school holidays.

Recommendations of the Sebi panel can improve the trading system, but they cannot revitalise the market.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has recently come out with a set of recommendations made by an internal committee for development of the corporate bond market in India.
The recommendations include a) developing a repo market for corporate bonds, b) gaining tax exemptions for debt funds, c) setting up a unified exchange traded corporate bond market under the Bombay Stock Exchange, d) reduction of minimum size of corporate debt paper, e) activating the interest rate derivative market, f) trading corporate bonds in an order matching system and g) developing professional trustee companies for ratings.
If implemented, these recommendations will definitely improve the system for trading in corporate bonds. However, if the intention is to revitalise the corporate bond market, it will turn out to be a complete failure. This is because the corporate bond market in India is highly complex and the only way the market can improve is by smoothening out the complexities.
The complexities:
The corporate bond market plays second fiddle to the government bond market, since the Government of India is the largest issuer of debt in the country. Bond market players tend to shun corporate bonds, terming them illiquid, and preferring to trade in the much more liquid government bond market.
Typically, corporate bonds factor in two kinds of risks — credit and liquidity. Credit risk is usually measured by the ratings assigned to the credit by the rating agencies, while liquidity risk is measured by the acceptability of a credit in the market.
In India, trading is concentrated in AAA-rated bonds, as they carry the highest safety and are the most liquid. Among AAA bonds, bonds of public sector units are much more liquid than private sector bonds. This is because a large part of the market, including insurance companies, provident funds and banks, has restrictions on private sector paper. This really means that trading activity in Indian debt market is concentrated in government debt, directly in government securities and indirectly through bonds of government-owned entities.
The lack of market for private sector companies has resulted in absolutely no price discovery for issuers of debt, especially for issuers rated below AAA. This has resulted in private sector issuers going for bank loans or accessing the foreign currency bond or loan market. The lack of issuers across the rating scale has led to a non-existent credit spread curve in the corporate bond market.
Banks in India have a peculiar problem. The Reserve Bank of India has instructed them to mark corporate bonds taken in their trading books as credit exposures to the underlying credit.
This has resulted in many of the banks being unable to trade certain credits as they have hit the exposure limit in their loan books. This has also restricted the freedom of a corporate bond trader in a bank, as he has to take credit clearance from the credit risk officer belonging to the corporate bank. This, in effect, violates the principle of the Chinese Wall between the trader and the corporate bank (who has confidential information of the issuer).
The fixed income markets in India cannot trade credit spreads and interest rates separately. By de-linking credit spreads from interest rates, the market can trade only the underlying credit of the issuer and does not take on interest rate risk. Pure credit spread trading also enables holders of credit spreads to lower their credit risk by selling the spread. This creates a vibrant credit spread market where traders take positions on the perception of credit rather than interest rates. Trading pure credit spreads also enables lower rated issuers to issue bonds locally at market determined rates.
A large part of the market does not mark-to-market the corporate bond portfolio. Insurance companies and provident funds, the largest buyers of corporate bonds in India, do not mark-to-market their portfolios. As a result, once any bond goes into their books, it does not come out. This takes away liquidity from the market.
The settlement of corporate bonds carries counterparty risk. The settlement takes place between counterparties as there is no centralised clearing system as existing in government securities market. This makes many counterparties not 'dealable' with each other, due to lack of counterparty risk limits.
What needs to be done:
The committee for reviving the corporate bond market in India should focus on the following:
Remove limit restrictions on private sector issuers for insurance companies, provident funds and banks
Separate corporate bond trading and loan books for earmarking credit exposures
Allow corporate bond traders to short interest rates and take on the risk of the underlying credit
Increase depth in the market by allowing FII's to trade in the corporate bond market
Make it compulsory for insurance companies and provident funds mark to market a part of their corporate bond portfolios
Introduce centralised settlement system for corporate bonds
Allow repos in corporate bonds
Encourage lower rated issuers to access domestic bond markets
Ensure all issuers stick to standard issue norms akin to government securities
A unified exchange trading system and reporting platform is good for the market, but BSE is the wrong exchange to pick. The exchange has been a miserable failure in new products and corporate bonds whose complexities are way beyond its scope. NSE has a standardised reporting platform and it can adapt to the corporate bond market easily
Introduce credit derivative market, as characterised by credit default swaps, for trading pure credit risk.

Oculus CTO John Carmack has reportedly broken his silence over social network site Facebook's planned acquisition of Oculus.
Carmack, who joined the company last August, replied to a blog post by chiptune musician Peter Berkman saying that he wasn't expecting Facebook to purchase the company.
The legendary game developer said that he wasn't personally involved in any of the negotiations, the Verge reported.
Carmack said that he spent an afternoon talking technology with Mark Zuckerberg, and the next week he found out that Zuckerberg had bought Oculus.

Nice update guys!
By the 31st century,humanity has spread to thousands of worlds, while a handful of powerful empires wage war for the right to rule the stars. Foremost among the weapons used in that struggle are BattleMechs. Loaded with charged-particle beam weapons, these fusion-powered war machines of articulated armor stand upward of fourteen meters tall. Piloting them are MechWarrior's.Like the armored knights of an earlier age, MechWarrior's are popular heroes, and their exploits are the stuff of Legends.

Lightweight and strong 2014 aluminium road racing drop handlebar, with a oversized 31.8mm clamp diametre.
Top Features of the Pro PLT 2014 Alloy Road Handlebar
- Oversized 31.8 mm clamp diametre reduces unwanted flex under high load by increasing strength and rigidity
- Traditional shaped round handlebar design
- Single recessed groove cable routing
- Weight from 265 grams
Product Data
|Weight (g):
2014 aluminium is a high strength aluminium alloy commonly used in the aircraft industry and a wide variety of high strength engineering applications making it the ideal choice to produce this lightweight, strong and reliable handlebar.
For further weight reduction the aluminium has been double butted, keeping the strength where it is needed and reducing the wall thickness where vital grams can be saved.
About Road Handlebars
Road bars are curved to offer a multitude of positions to suit the terrain. When climbing in the saddle you will often ride on the tops which are the part of the bar either side of the stems clamping point. When out of the saddle on climbs or accelerating you will often ride on the lever hoods mounted at the front of the bars curved section. For higher speeds you will find yourself on the drops, which offer a lower more aerodynamic position. Road bars come in a variety of widths, from 36cm wide up to 44cm, a good guide for bar width is your shoulder width, a bar should not be narrower than your shoulders as this can close up your chest, but they should not be so wide that you are creating a large frontal area. Road handlebars come in two clamp sizes, 31.8mm which is oversized and 26/25.8mm which is standard, it is essential that you get the correct clamp size for your stem as a poor fit will slip round. Road bars also come in different shapes and depths, with various bends for ergonomic reasons, some will also feature grooves in the material for your brake and gear cables to slot into, this helps to keep the bar round once tape is applied. Then there is the all-in-one bar and stem systems from brands such as Cinelli's Ram 2 and the Pro Stealth which offer clean lines and look great with their exposed carbon finish.
About the Pro brand
PRO manufactures a range of handlebars, wheels, disc wheels, stems, overshoes, cycle computers and accessories for your bike. Over the last decade, the Shimano owned PRO brand has grown considerably into a major player on the bicycle accessory market. PRO's success has largely been down to its never-ending drive to improve and the fact it provides high quality cycle products at affordable prices.

Free breast cancer screening for up to 40,000 low-income women
Published on Apr 9, 2014 12:42 PM
Up to 40,000 low-income women will be eligible for free breast cancer screenings over the next five years, with an additional $2 million being added to an existing screening programme. The programme is a collaboration between the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) and Health Promotion Board (HPB), and started in March last year.
Lower income women aged 50 and above who are Community Health Assist Scheme (Chas) card holders are eligible for the free mammograms. Those who qualify will receive a letter from the HPB.
This programme compliments existing government subsidies for mammograms making the procedure completely free for this group of individuals.
In 2013, about $300,000 was provided, which was expected to last two years. However, the fund was depleted within the first seven weeks of the programme's launch last March. So far, a total of 8,700 women have benefited from the programme.

Tamil Nadu government should take steps to screen Vishwaroopam in the theatres in Tamil Nadu, said Pon.Radhakrishnan, State president of Bharathiya Janata Party (BJP), here on Thursday.
He told presspersons that the film has been screened in other states such as Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, and also in countries like Malaysia, and is running successfully. There is no law and order problem there. Moreover, Kerala and Malaysia have large Muslim population.
Mr. Radhakrishnan also said that he condemned the statement of Kamal Haasan that he would like to move to a State and country where there is secularism. This gives an impression that Tamil Nadu and India as a whole is not secular. Kamal Haasan should withdraw his statement.
It was unfortunate that a film produced and acted by a Tamil person is not screened in Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu government should take action against those who attacked theatres and damaged them on Wednesday.
Take action against those who attacked theatres, says Pon.Radhakrishnan

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Getting the word out about cyber safety is part of the mission of the Arkansas State Attorney General's Office, and to help with that, the AG's office has instructors who visit schools and churches statewide.
One teacher THV 11 News talked to Monday reminded parents to check all of their kids' social media devises including their computer, cell phone, iPad and gaming systems that have live messaging features. To secure the most safety, parents should keep the contact information the people their children know.
"I know it is not the fun thing to say 'only talk to people you know in real life,' but it is the safest thing to do because they can never be certain of who they are really talking to," said prevention and education instructor Rachel Ellis. "You know time does not equal trust no matter how long they talk to that person."
Ellis also said there are messaging "apps" kids can download, so watch out for those, too.

I always hear people talk about how they would quit their job and not work. Not me! I happen to love my job (especially where I am now) and I need health insurance.

I was surprised to find that the 2 screws holding on the plastic end caps were not philips. it looked like an allen wrench deal but that didn't work. Turned out that I had to buy a hex tool. Looked kinda like a swiss army knife but had allen wrench like hex tools in various sizes. By then I was determined to finish the job even if it meant buying a tool I'd never use again. The job took about five minutes once I had the right tool. The stove looks normal now. The stove looks brand new but for some reason there were cracks in the end caps where the screw hole were.

A Center for Information Dominance Pensacola Sailor was selected as the 2009 Chief of Naval Operations Shore Sailor of the Year last week.
CID instructor Cryptologic Technician Technical 1st Class (SW/AW) Cassandra Foote was recognized by CNO Adm. Gary Roughead in a Navy message.
"The competition was extremely keen and characterized the high caliber of Sailors serving ashore throughout the world," Roughead wrote. "Finalists represented their commands impressively and can be proud of their significant achievement."
Foote bested other candidates, including finalists Legalman 1st Class (SW/AW) Jessica H. Byard, from Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Machinist's Mate 1st Class (SW/AW) Steven T. Roberson, from Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command, and Hospital Corpsman 1st Class (FMF) Oluyinka O. Adefisan, from the office of the vice chief of naval operations.
"All the candidates I've met have been the best of the best," Foote said. "They are all really amazing Sailors."
CID leadership lauded Foote's selection.
"This is an incredible accomplishment," said CID Commanding Officer Capt. Gary Edwards, "and I am proud to have her on our team."
According to CID Command Master Chief (SW/AW) Christopher J. Thompson, Foote's recognition is one of the highlights of his career.
"Out of the 29 years I have served in the Navy, I've seen a lot of great things, but to see one of my Sailors at my command get selected as CNO Shore Sailor of the Year was the best day of my naval career," he said.
Foote was born and raised in Vergennes, a small, close-knit community where everyone knows one another.
"We are proud of her for sure," Vergennes City Manager Mel Hawley said.
Retired Vergennes Union High School English Teacher Ann Sullivan fondly remembered Foote, whom she referred to as "Cassy" both around the community and as a student.
"I am just so thrilled," Sullivan said. "You just can't imagine."

The exact format varies from fishery to fishery, but in broad terms you will have an allocation of fishing days that are evenly spread across the season. There is sometimes flexibility to change dates at short notice, the option to bring a guest or buy additional days at a discount.

So far, I like getting my issues digitally except for one thing: I cannot view the magazine easily on my Android phone. When I try to access the magazine on my phone, it sends me to a version for iPods and iPhones, which predictably does not work very well. So far, I have found no way to view the version I would see on my home computer, which I'm pretty sure would work better on Androids. Until Android support is added, is there any way to access the desktop version on my phone?
I agree with you, I've been trying to figure out a better way to view the digital GI magazine on my android tablet but it's no way to scroll up or down since the version its showing is for Iphone. Does anyone have any suggestions or know a way around this?
Same with Kindle Fire, which can read any webpage like a normal laptop, except the site keeps redirecting me to *** iphone site (insulting to my Kindle to call it icrap). Anyway, I will gladly change my account to digital if I can read it on my Kindle Fire (Android Tablet). Just make it recognize it as a normal laptop and it will be fixed. Thanks if anyone actually reads this to fix stuff.
Agree it suks on Android which is stupid since its the most popular mobile platform now.
I also agree as well. I personaly think they should make a gi app for this reason alone. It would make it easier to to get to the gi magazine as well as solving the problem of not working well.
Just posted about this in a separate topic. Should have scrolled down first. I am much more likely to read the digital magazine on my Android tablet. There's no reason why we shouldn't get the full, interactive experience on our tablets.
My biggest gripe about having Digital is that I can't read the magazines on my android phone. Please Game Informer, make an android app for the magazine! :)
Agreed!! I'm always on the go and can't read the digital mag on my Android Phone.
Please give us an android compatible digital issue, or better yet give us a GameInformer app!
+1 for the android app for game informer digital.
Nice to see anyone from the staff has even read this or responded. This is why i wont go digital.
Too bad you won't have any choice when the cheap bastards stop publishing the print version later this year...
Tim Rockwell:
Too bad you won't have any choice when the cheap bastards stop publishing the print version later this year...
I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe this. Got a source?
I agree with the opinion that a better android implementation of the magazine should be done. There are a few alternatives. An app has already been mentioned, but working with other digital magazine distribute rs like Zinio might work as well. For the rest already struglig with the crappy iOS webapp design in their android phones or tablet I recommend trying out a third part browser that allows for desktop viewing. Personally I used Dolphin to try the sample of the digital magazine and it crashes sometimes. Still, it's better than nothing.
i found that if you download the dolphin browser go to the settings, dolphin settings change the user agent to desktop it loads like the desktop version. but of course theres a draw back for some reason it will freeze up and not fully load advertisements so i just use the table of contents button instead of going through page by page. now dolphin is not as stable as google but it is better than nothing for now enjoy! oh and i am on a honeycomb tanlet i hope this works for everyone

Product Overview
- A Dietary Supplement Utilizing Liposomal Encapsulation Technology
- Maximized Bio-Availability Delivered via "Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres
- 313.5 mg AGE Blocking Nutrients
- 2,450 mg Essential Phospholipids
The Powerful Health Benefits of "Smart" Lyposomal Nano-Spheres
Our bodies need the phosphatidylcholine that forms the two layers of each Lyposomal Nano-Sphere to maintain cellular, glandular, hepatic and cardiac health. Unlike all other oral delivery systems that use fillers, binders, gelatins, capsule materials, dyes, sweeteners, flavorings and the like, Lyposomal Nano-Spheres provide maximum usability as well as maximum bio-availability.
Lypo-Spheric AGE Blocker — Why you need it...
AGE stands for Advanced Glycation End-Products. This is the name scientists have given the sticky, tar-like substances that form at the end of a series of reactions started by normal metabolism of blood sugar. The accumulation of AGE in various tissues and organs in the body have been linked to a number of conditions associated with the aging process. Research has shown that maintenance of proper blood glucose levels and the presence of certain AGE inhibiting substances can dramatically limit the formation of AGE. Lypo-Spheric Age Blocker delivers an array of nutrients known for AGE inhibition, and others that facilitate proper blood sugar levels, in nano-scopic lipospheres directly to the blood stream without interaction with digestive juices, foods, or other degrading substances present in the digestive system.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement take one packets 1 to 2 times per day. For best results, snip or tear the notched end off the packet, squeeze into one or more ounces of your favorite cool beverage, drink on an empty stomach, and wait at least 15 minutes before eating.
Other Ingredients
Water, magnesium, manganese, sodium benzoate (preservative), potassium sorbate (preservative), xanthan gum, citric acid, natural orange flavoring and stevia (as natural flavoring).
This product contains no sugar, no starch, no artificial colors, no meat products, no dairy products, no wheat, no gluten, and no yeast.
Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, consult a healthcare practitioner before using this product.
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze or place the product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I came to know about AGEs from an anti-ageing book and started to search for some products in iherb and I got it. I'm amazed iherb carry such unique products. LivOn Lab has the technology to bring the supplement direct into your blood vessel for absorption. I can't tell if it works, but one bonus i get is I can sleep better without taking melatonin. However this formula does not include carnosine which is also an important item to block AGE.
You really need to check out Lypo-Spheric supplements! It's all about the delivery system which is quite amazing. Ordering them through iHerb was a fast delivery and a great price!

Around 300 teachers will be conferred with National Awards tomorrow on the occasion of Teachers' Day.
However, in a departure from the usual practice, the awards instituted since 1958 will not be given away by the President.
Vice President Hamid Ansari will give away the awards as President Pratibha Patil is currently on a two-nation tour of Russia and Tajikistan.
Meritorious teachers from primary and secondary stages are selected for the award for their contributions and are selected after a comprehensive screening process.
The 300 awardees include teachers nominated by state governments, Central Board of Secondary Education, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, Central Tibetan School Administration, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Novodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and Sainik Schools.
The country celebrates Teacher's Day on 5th September commemorating the birthday of former President and eminent scholar Dr S Radhakhrishnan.

Two Best Cowboy Records; David Allan Coe Marries; Merle Haggard Wants to Regurgitate When He Hears ____
- Tom Russell on Marty Robbins' Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs and Tex Ritters' Blood on the Saddle: "If God made two better cowboy records (to paraphrase W.S. Burroughs) he kept them to his glorious self."
- Country California Fake News: Craig Wiseman Turns Shopping List Into Life-Affirming Anthem
- With the ever-increasing sales at outlets like iTunes, Amazon, QVC, and concert halls, Mike Severson asks if they should really be considered non-traditional.
- Bucky Covington is not what you'd call perceptive:
Who's the coolest person you've met?
Billy Bob Thornton. I went to his house and hung out drinking lukewarm Coronas. This guy is the epitome of cool. We were talking movies and music, and he brings up the movie 'Sling Blade,' and I said, 'Were you in 'Sling Blade'? That was a great movie!' And he thanked me. I asked who he was in 'Sling Blade,' and he said, 'Carl.' I said, 'That's the main character!' I didn't even know he was in it! But actually technically that's a huge compliment to an actor, that I watched the movie, and I didn't know it was [him]! And he wrote the dang movie as well!
Music Fog: Chatham County Line – "Crop Comes In"
- Outlaw David Allan Coe married his longtime girlfriend Kimberley Hastings on Saturday, making this his sixth marriage.
- Great American Taxi is offering a free download of "Appalachian Soul" from their debut album to raise awareness for a coal miners relief fund. Check out their website for the download and more details.
- Even Merle Haggard has songs he regrets, like "If We're Not Back In Love by Monday:"
"I absolutely hate that song. I can't stand to hear it," Haggard says. "It makes me want to regurgitate."
- In an interview with Peep's Joe Guerra, Miranda Lambert declares "Dead Flowers" her favorite song that she's ever written and says she was upset it never gained momentum at radio.
- Streaming concerts from NPR: Ray Wylie Hubbard on Mountain Stage and John Hiatt and Robert Earl Keen on World Cafe.
- The album recommendation of the month from Alt-512 Music Musings is James Keyes' Ruminations.
The first thing that strikes us is Keyes' voice which immediately conjurs recollections of the rasp inherent to the likes of Otis Gibbs and Ryan Bingham coupled with the low wash of fellow New Englanders Slaid Cleaves and/or Rod Picott. The songs themselves fall somewhere in the Ray Wylie Hubbard and Gurf Morlix realm in terms of the sense of spiritualism and stripped down honesty. Sometimes, less is more. And that is definitely the case with Keyes' Ruminations.
- The only currently scheduled Texas show on Dierks Bentley's "Up On the Ridge" bluegrass tour will take place at The Parish in Austin this Saturday. The Travelin McCourys and Hayes Carll are set to perform as well.
- CMT's Chris Parton has good things to say about the film Provinces of Night, which stars Kris Kristofferson and Dwight Yoakam.
- Farce the Music thinks country radio needs more songs like Dierks Bentley's "Up On the Ridge."
16 Comments
Bucky Covington does not sound like he is the sharpest knife in the drawer.
How is Bucky Covington still alive?
FYI, the Travelin' McCourys are Dierks' backup band on this tour.
"Dead Flowers" is a great song, lyrically, but the production sounds too much like Rascal Flatts, something like their "Take Me There."
"Dead Flowers" is actually my favorite Miranda Lambert song too.
Six marriages for David Allan Coe? At least he's not one of those stereotypical conservative older Southerners out there rallying against gay marriage and the need to protect the "sanctity" of it all.
As for Bucky Covington, sigh, I really don't know what to say. What an idiot.
I agree with Lucas.
Bucky was also shocked to discover that the guy who played Doyle in "Slingblade" has a singing career, too.
Has anyone heard stuff from the Bentley album yet? I'm not a fan of "Up on the Ridge", I'll have to say. He'll be in Portland, ME. at a smaller venue, just two hours from us, but it's during the workweek, which makes two hours impossible. Too bad.
great interview with the Hag
Bucky is an absolute idiot. I'm sure Billy didn't take that as a compliment..
Up On The Ridge is a phenomenal track, and I'm super pumped to say that we added it to heavy rotation right outta the box. I'm super stoked about the rest of the album, and really feel this is the direction Country radio needs to go in. Trying something DIFFERENT!! We've got Miranda's "House That Built Me", Zac's "Free" and now Dierks going a little different with "Up On The Ridge" – it's a great first step!!
I've liked Chatham County Line for some time. "WSM 650″ is one tune I really remember liking from them.
The one song of Hag's that always makes me regurgitate is that little ditty he wrote praising Shrillary Rotten Clinton. Although a lot of his output since "Big City" leaves me a little bit queasy…
I see why Sucky's fan base is so loyal! His concerts are a place where airheads are welcomed without any condescending judgemental attitudes springing forth from folks with a superior intellect.
The new Dierks single seems to be a bit controversial in the country music blogosphere. Its almost enough to motivate me to want to give it a listen. Almost…
The reason Hag regrets "If We're Not Back In Love by Monday" according to his past interviews is that he attached it to a melody too similar to "If We Make It Through December" and messed up his band trying to keep the two soings straight
Glad you showed the Corb Lund video. I hope more people familiarize themselves with his music, as he's got some great stuff.
David Allan Coe is bad to da bone. If that aint country, I'll kiss yo aaa. David's so bad, he doesn't have to stress his s's! At least he says kiss instead of KICK! I'd hate to tick him off!!
