I'm writing to you because I'm in a complicated situation. I'm really not sure of how to get myself out of it or even if I want to so here goes: I broke up with my fiancé a year and a half ago. We were having a lot of trouble and a couple of months after we broke up I met this guy. When I met the new guy right off the bat he told me that he had a girlfriend and that they been together for four years. Honestly, I thought that it was going to be a fling but here I am going on two years and we are still involved with each other.
The "I love yous" started and we spend a lot of time together—we see each other very frequent, we talk on the phone every day and our connection is very strong. He has never once treated me like the "other woman." We share the same interests, we go out and every time we're together and "she" calls he never answers. He gives me that respect, if that make any sense.
We really make each other happy. Recently, though, I've been feeling like I'm missing out on something. I want to get married and be with him but his whole take on the situation is, "As long as we're happy then what else matters?" I've asked him to break up with her and he wont do it.
I've since broken it off with him and he really came back strong. I truly believe that he is "the one" but clearly he's not ready for a commitment to just one person. So this morning we had a conversation and I tried to break it off (again) but I couldn't get the guts to do it; it was like I know I would feel miserable without him. So my question to you is do you think that he'll ever commit to me or should I just quit while I'm ahead? Or, just be happy and deal?[dc]Dear Badly Confused,[/dc]
The simple answer to your question is no. If it's been two years of being the other woman—whether he treats you like that or not you are the other woman—why would he change anytime soon? Look at the other side of the coin also: He's been with this other girl, correction HIS official girl, for four years when y'all met, which means it's now six years. If he couldn't commit to her in six why would you think he'd commit to you in two?
You have to look in the mirror and make the best decision for you. If you don't mind being the other woman and potentially opening yourself up to an unexpected pregnancy or diseases then go ahead and do you—you're grown. But if you truly want marriage and stability in your future it's very unlikely you'll find it with him based on your track record.
I have a philosophy that how you met someone is usually how they'll leave you. You met him cheating on his girlfriend, so should y'all wind up in a "real" relationship he'll probably leave you cheating. It's a pattern that you've set forth for him. If it was okay for him to cheat on his girl to be with you, you've already shown (subconsciously) that you're willing to accept that kind of behavior from him. So when he sees a fatter ass or prettier face that he wants to have a "fling" with he'll feel it's okay.
Now, if you had met him and told him that he had to break up with his girl before things got physical he may have seen you in a different light and known you don't play that. But now, after two years, how could you be mad if he cheated when he clearly showed you who he was and you willing accepted it?
Just think about it.
Besides that is this really the character of a man you want to spend the rest of your life with? Seriously, do you really think you could ever trust him 100%? He may treat you right and make you feel good in the moment, but all that is temporary to me. If he was really about you and plotting a happily ever after he'd have ended it with his girlfriend a long time ago and done right by you. The ball is truly in your court and it's about you doing right by yourself. If you have no problem with where things are, then so be it. Just remember karma is a mofo.
If you want more out of the relationship and he can't provide that for you then move on, cut all ties and find someone that can offer ALL of themselves and not just some warm dick in the moment and a cold pillow when he leaves to go back to his girl. Whatever you decide please stay protected because if he's with you and her, there's no telling who else she or he is with on the side.
Good luck.
Do you think a man ever chooses the other woman? Would you ever date someone that's already in a relationship? Does it matter if you were on the rebound? Do you think a "fling" could evolve into a loving relationship? Have you ever been in a serious relationship with someone you thought wouldn't last? If so, what made you fall for the person? Who's more at fault, the person in a relationship that cheats or the one they're cheating with? Do you agree with my philosophy that how you meet someone is usually how they'll leave you? Could you ever fully trust someone that cheated on their last partner to be with you? What additional advice do you have for Badly Confused?

I plan on volunteering for his campaign if they'll take me. And I'd be in it for the long haul.

I did order 1 year compete card warranty for another $120, 2 years was around $380 or so which I don't understand why it is so high for 2 years versus 1 year. Can I just spend another $120 in a year for another year? Anyone have experience with dell warranties?

Well I thought I was 11.5 weeks. I went to my second appointment today and they tried to find the heartbeat and couldn't. So she checked my pelvis and said I'm not measuring correctly with my due date. So she's thinking I'm a few weeks behind like 8-9 weeks. Ugh. So I have to go back in two weeks so she can check again and hopefully hear the heartbeat that time. Omg. I'm gone be pregnant all year. :(
so disappointed. :(

Sorry LadyyBug! Can they see you sooner than 2 weeks or get you a sonogram to check your dates? Sounds like kind of a big discrepancy...
Good luck!

My doctor said she gone give it two weeks because if I'm 9-10 weeks the next time I come in I'll be able to hear the heartbeat. Or they'll just do a sonogram.

That's a bummer. You''d think they'd at least do a u/s right then to see..but maybe they don't have a machine in their office?
two weeks...ugh taht's going to be long. I'm so sorry. Maybe you are just measuring tiny and that HB is hard to find? Or at the very least I hope you are only 1 week off...2 weeks is a lot!

I'm hoping its just a weeks. And my Medicaid hadn't gone through yet. I've been calling trying to find out the hold up so next time she can do the sonogram. She's positive that I'm pregnant, just not sure how far along yet. I hope everything gets straightened out pretty soon.
Posted 05/05/2012
Is there anyway you can pay to get a heartbeat scan at a ultrasound place? Here they are 35 dollars. An ultrasound would show the hb at 7 weeks.

That same day, at about 9.a.m., Morris was taking another shot with his camera. The picture of the full solar eclipse below must have been taken somewhere above 90th Street in Manhattan or up into the Bronx, because that was where the eclipse became total. It was quite an event in New York with dozens of planes and even the Navy's largest dirigible, the LOS ANGELES, in the air to take photos of the rare happening. The 1925 eclipse was the last total one to be visible in a large U.S. metropolitan area, and Morris was able to get a number of shots in the short time that the birds were heading back to roost at such an odd time of the day.

|Conservators working on the GRACE
From its time aboard the ship and the intervening five decades in the church, the painting has built up quite a layer of grime. Two conservators from the Williamstown Art Conservation Center (at right) spent three days here in the Fall putting a little sparkle back into the clipper ship by stripping off some of the layers of dirt. The project was inspired by Bob Webb, a former curator at the Kendall Whaling Museum and the Maine Maritime Museum and a performer well-known in sea music circles. Bob passed away last year and one of his wishes was to see the painting conserved since, in addition to his other passions, Bob was also a writer and one of his books was a biography of Charles Robert Patterson, the artist. To help fulfill his wish, Bob's widow Helen has been raising funds to help pay for the conservation work. Stop by and see if the painting looks a little perkier to you. And give a nod of thanks to Bob for helping to make it happen.

"I am working to remove Burn,..."
I have 4 scars I would like to get rid of. There is one on my nose from an a surgical incision to remove a sebaceous cyst, one under my right nipple from Gynocomnastia surgery, one on my arm from a brand when I was younger, and a keloid on my left elbow from a bicycling incident. Besides the keloid scar on my right elbow, the other three scars are generally flat, not completely, and very red.... more
"Excision of 2 Chicken Pox Scars on..."
Hated seeing these two indents on my forehead for 20yrs! Went in for a consult- wanted laser resurfacing, but opted for the excisions.
Excising a scar is invasive. Involves cutting out the old scar tissue and using the heathy surround tissue to close the wound. Left with a small linear scar, but less noticeable.
I am very happy with my results! Even though after removing the stitches they... more
"Keloid Scars Revision on Left..."
I went to the consultant with Dr.Zemmel for Breast augmentation and while we were talking about my breasts his assistant noticed my scars on my left shoulder and arm so after my consultation I left his office with 2 price quotes, 1 for breast augmentation and the other one for scars revision. After thinking about it for a week I decided to scheduled both procedures with him. I had my BA first... more

A Stove-Fearing Pit Bull/Chow Mix, a Battling Rottie and German Shepherd, and a Grieving Jack Russel Terrier
Season 4 | Episode 4 | Willie, Make-A-Wish, and Zena
Meet Zena, a pit bull/Chow mix whose extreme fear of the stove has forced her owners to cook outside on a grill for the past year. Then, Cesar visits Major, a Rottweiler, and Nira, a German shepherd, who are battling for control of the house.
Finally, meet Willie, a Jack Russell terrier, who can't handle the death of his pack leader, the family cat named Jake. Willie's owners say Jake kept Willie in line, but now the terrier has abandoned his good behavior.
Because dogs pick up on our emotions, it's important to keep yours in check when dealing with your pooch. If your stress level is high, you may need someone else with you to remind you to stay calm and assertive; a sort of an unofficial "coach" to observe, correct, and cheer you on.
A lot of times, we need a neutral third party to see ourselves from the outside. The most important thing is that you find somebody who will watch and evaluate, but not judge. That person should have your –and your dog's– best interests at heart.
Michelle's Wish
One thing about instincts is that they will always create balance because it means you are connected to the environment around you. Michelle is a cancer survivor and someone who knows how to follow her own instincts. The problems with her family dogs arose when her parents disregarded those instincts.
In dealing with animals, the best time to listen to and follow your instincts is when you are calm and there are no negative voices in your head and no one giving you pessimistic input.

Salespeople often work on a straight commission, or a compensation plan that includes both base pay and commission. Employers often find it useful or necessary to advance commissions to salespeople after a sale is made, but before commissions are fully earned. This practice may be standard within a particular industry, necessary to compete with other employers to attract talent, or as a recognition of cost of living pressures, not to mention good employee relations.
But what happens when commissions that have been advanced are not earned, or sales deals that support such commissions fall apart or get cancelled, denying expected revenue to the employer? May an employer charge back the salesperson/employee for advanced commissions in such situations? http://bit.ly/Pn9vA9

Condit Completes Installation of VIP Boardroom Structure on Terrace of CAF Building in Caracas, Venezuela
Condit, a temporary structure and trade show exhibit provider with an international footprint spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, announced the completion of the VIP Boardroom structure on the terrace of the CAF building, the Bank of Latin America in Caracas, Venezuela.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 05, 2013
Condit announced the completed installation of a 3,000 square foot VIP Boardroom structure on a roof terrace of the CAF Building in Caracas, Venezuela. The structure will be used by CAF Bank of Latin America executives as a boardroom.
Multiple challenges had to be addressed including installing a semi-permanent structure on top of a permanent building, craning all properties to the roof where the structure was installed, and finally accommodating the high-end finishes the client expected. After months of extensive planning, the structure is now complete and in use.
The project began eleven months ago when MTRA Arquitectos, the architecture firm of record for this project, contacted Condit about the feasibility of designing and installing a structure on the terrace of the CAF Building in Caracas, Venezuela.
Condit´s turnkey solution, working in partnership with MTRA Arquitectos, included all logistical planning, design, engineering, and custom fabrication of the interior elements. The interior consisted of custom wood paneling, multiple translation booths on a tiered deck, drop ceilings, recessed lighting, a built-in sound system, and custom flooring.
For more information on this project, or to find out about Condit´s temporary structures, please contact Sky Curl, Condit´s International Business Director.
Condit leverages its international footprint and the insights and experiences developed over its 60-year history to assist global clients with all of their exhibition and structure challenges. By staying on the cutting edge of the trade show and exhibit industry, Condit can design and build multi-dimensional exhibitions, structures, environments, studios, and digital spaces.
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado and with offices around the USA and Europe, Condit´s goal is to help create lasting experiences for you and your customers. We specialize in the design, fabrication, management, and installation of trade show exhibits, double deck and temporary structure solutions for events, museum exhibits, visitor centers, real estate sales centers, television studio sets, corporate lobbies, kiosks, and three dimensional marketing environments of any kind. For more information, visit the Condit Exhibits website or call +1.800.541.6308.

Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Extra Black Mascara

This seems to go on well (nice brush) and makes lashes look great. My complaint is that it flakes (I have many, many black marks around my eye around the day) and it seems to somehow flake into my eyes, making them hurt (it is now about 3 hours after I have removed it, and I still have pain/burning in my eyes from whatever flaked into them). No, it is not due to something else since the only thing that has varied in my routine is adding the MUFE Smoky Lash Mascara, which I just got at Sephora as a reward for my 500 points. A loser for me, sadly. My favorite is still L'Oreal Beauty Tubes Mascara (and a lot cheaper).

I got this as a freebie with a purchase from Sephora and I have to say, it's one of the very best I have tried. I have long, thin lashes and I love this because it thickens, darkens, and volumizes. I have a hard time finding mascaras that don't make my lashes look spidery. This gives my lashes a more dramatic look but still feathery. It stays on well, too. I gave it a 4 because it is so pricey. Given that you have to switch mascaras out every 3-4 months I just don't spend much on them. Otherwise a great mascara.

I personally find this better than the Dior mascaras. I wouldn't repurchase because I don't really wear mascara. I find that after awhile my eyelashes start thinning and falling out. This makes my lashes nice and thick without clumping.

I bought this mascara because the sephora girl recommended it since I like a dramatic mascara but also have sensitive eyes. This mascara really does thicken lashes very well, but doesn't do anything to lengthen, which is good for me but I dont think most people will care for that. If you have long lashes this is great, but probably not so much for short lashes.
I have really irritatable, allergy induced watery eyes, and I haven't had any smudging from that, and the one time I got it in my eye it didnt burn or itch at all.
I like this, I will repurchase until I get bored and want to try something else, but even then I can see myself going back to this

-Easy to remove since it removes itself throughout the day
-Dry and hard to apply
-Goes on Clumpy
-Flakes off eyelashes after an hour
-Adds volume in clumps but no length
-Leaves Raccoon circles under eyes
-Does not hold a curl
One of the WORST mascaras i have ever tried! I am returning this to Sephora over the weekend. Very dissapointed!

*I have thin lashes that stick out straight/go down, but they are pretty long and more full than not*
WELL- I have mixed feelings about this mascara....
I tried this at Sephora with one of those disposable wands and LOVED it SO much... My lashes looked so amazing, yet still natural....
I brought it home and played around with it for a few months, and discovered the following:
1) It created none-very slight length, though it added tremendous volume to my lashes. However, because the volume-length ratio was about 4:1, my lashes looked kind of weird
2) If I waited a long time in between coats of applying this, my lashes would clump together in thick chunks
3) Blinking my eyelids/ applying the mascara wand to the tips to add length did NOT work 80-90% of the time, and my eyelashes would get stuck together
4) It was pretty difficult to remove- not impossible, but definitely needed a lot of makeup remover
5) I am pretty sure this flaked throughout the day... Not serious flakage, but very noticeable
6) Did not hold a curl. At all. Didn't droop my eyelashes so they stuck straight out, but they were barely lifted- and this was after curling my lashes beautifully
7) A whole lot of excess product was on the wand when I took it out from the tube. I think this mascara was intentionally manufactured like this, but it was super annoying and loads better when I wiped it off on the lips of the tube.
Overall- Lots and lots of volume, very rich black color, but it did not work exceptionally well with my lashes. I suggest this to people with naturally curled lashes that are kinda sparse...
Because of the price, I would not buy this again. But I suggest that people go to Sephora and try it for themselves- they can always return/ exchange it if they are not satisfied:)

Kind of expensive, but I really like the dry formula and the way that it makes my lashes look. It doesn't clump and it looks great. Will probably repurchase if I make a little money! Haha.

This mascara gives me very natural looking amped up lashes. Mine are typically short, straight and sparse. This gave a very natural fluttery look to them, with some length and some volume but it did weigh them down a bit, resulting in a slight loss of curl. A positive is that I can wear this despite it not being a waterproof formula, which is usually what I have to resort to keep from getting raccoon eyes and hold a curl.
I did not see any signs of smudging until the 9th hour, but only on my lower lashes. There was no flaking and this did not irritate my eyes at all. The brush is a tad large for my short lashes, and requires some skillfull application otherwise I risk ruining my eyeshadow. Overall, a good everyday mascara, but by no means dramatic nor extra dark.

My all-time favorite mascara! it does it all. If I could afford it, I would buy it every month, which is the need for this one because it dries out easily. It does flake, too. But it is still the only one that I have found that has a dramatic effect on my lashes. It tends to clump, but along with that, it adds thickness you have never seen before!!! run into sephora to see if they have a sample bc it is well worth it!

EDIT: ok this stuff really dried up in only a month and got super flaky and clumpy. I should have figured given how dry it was to begin with. Still, I'm disappointed.
Original review: This mascara gives the exact results I am looking for. Full lashes with the feathery look of of real hair, as opposed to the super defined look that sticks your lashes together. Its similar to my drugstore fave, L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black, but its not as heavy, holds a curl better and gives a bit of length in addition to the volume. Its a very dry formula and the biggest downside is that it is prone to flaking, especially if you start touching the lashes. It also doesn't make the lashes super stiff like some formulas do (all of Maybelline's volumizing formulas except for Full n Soft). The trick to using it is to use a light hand and build up coats gradually. I find that one coat give a good amount of volume for a little enhancement and a second coat gives that touch of drama. If you use a heavy hand it will clump up. I've found that if I have put it on correctly, it looks more like false lashes rather than lashes obviously coated in mascara.

Franklin makes history at worlds
BARCELONA, Spain (AP)
Missy Franklin climbed to the top of the podium one more time in Spain before heading off to college.
WORLD CLASSThe world's best are chasing gold in the world championships. Check out all the action.
With that step, the 18-year-old joined a very exclusive club.
Missy, we'd like to introduce you to Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz, Ian Thorpe and Kristin Otto.
"I still can't really believe that it happened," Franklin said.
She claimed her record sixth gold medal of the world championships Sunday night, swimming the leadoff leg for the Americans in the 400-meter medley relay. Franklin gave the U.S. a slight lead in the backstroke, and her teammates -- Jessica Hardy, Dana Vollmer and Megan Romano -- made it look easy from there.
The winning time was 3 minutes, 53.23 seconds, nearly two seconds ahead of runner-up Australia, with Russia claiming the bronze.
"I had some really great races that I'm really proud of, and there's still a bunch where I have a lot of room to improve," Franklin said. "So I'm really excited for the next year and the year after that and all the years following those."
It might be hard to top this one.
FLYING IN WATERThe world's best chased gold in London. Look back at all the action.
Franklin became the winningest female swimmer ever at a world meet, eclipsing the record that was shared by Tracy Caulkins, who won five times in 1978, and Libby Trickett, who did it in 2007.
Perhaps more impressively, Franklin became only the fifth swimmer to capture as many as six golds at either worlds or an Olympics.
Quite a club it is.
Phelps won six golds at the 2004 Athens Olympics, seven at the 2007 worlds and, of course, a record eight at the Beijing Olympics, eclipsing Spitz's mark of seven at the 1972 Munich Games. Otto won six golds at the 1988 Seoul Olympics -- an accomplishment since clouded by revelations of rampant doping in East Germany -- and Thorpe claimed a half-dozen victories at the 2001 worlds.
Now, there's Franklin.
She completed a grueling week in which she competed in eight events. She dropped out of the 50 backstroke after swimming in the preliminaries of the non-OIympic event, wanting to focus on more important races, and took fourth in the 100 freestyle. Otherwise, it was all gold.
She improved on her performance at the London Olympics, where she was one of the biggest stars with four golds and a bronze.
SHOCKS AND TEARSLolo Jones was among those who couldn't escape controversy at the London Olympics.
"I just wanted to see where I was after London," Franklin said. "It's kind of an unknown year. There are so many things that can happen."
Indeed. Check out what transpired with the American men in their 400 medley relay.
They celebrated what looked to be an easy victory, only to discover that 19-year-old breaststroker Kevin Cordes, the least experienced member of the foursome, left too soon on the exchange between the first and second legs.
The U.S., which touched nearly 1 seconds ahead of France, was disqualified. The French moved up to take the gold, while the silver went to Australia and Japan snatched the bronze.
"That's like a punch in the gut right there," said Bob Bowman, coach of the U.S. men's team.
Cordes stood on the deck in disbelief, hands on his head, but the replay showed he clearly left the block before backstroker Matt Grevers touched the pad. Ryan Lochte could only shake his head, having contributed a strong butterfly leg that didn't matter. He was denied his fourth gold medal of the meet, leaving him tied with Chinese star Sun Yang as the winningest male swimmers.
"A relay disqualification is not a particular individual's fault," said Nathan Adrian, who swam the anchor leg in vain. "It falls on all of our shoulders."
Franklin was not even chosen as the top female swimmer of the meet. That award went to fellow American Katie Ledecky, who won four golds and set two world records.
She edged out Franklin based on a formula that doesn't count the relays and gives bonus points for world marks.
Franklin had no complaints.
"It could not go to a better person," Franklin said. "I am sooooooo proud of Katie. She was absolutely unbelievable. I think she has probably been my absolute favorite swimmer to watch ever."
Sun was honored as the top male swimmer after sweeping the freestyle distance events. He closed with a victory in the 1,500, adding to his titles in the 400 and 800. After dueling with Canada's Ryan Cochrane most of the way, the Chinese star turned it on the last two laps and won going away in 14:41.15.
Cochrane took silver and Italy's Gregorio Paltrinieri bronze. Americans Connor Jaeger and Michael McBroom finished off the podium in fourth and fifth.
"I really appreciated (that) my opponent pushed, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make it," Sun said through a translator. "After all my races I felt a bit fatigued. But I just tried to convince myself to stay with him, because I knew that in the last 100 I had the advantage."
Sun's week also included the fastest leg by far on the 800 free relay, which almost singlehandedly give China a bronze medal in that event.
In other events on the final night at the Palau Sant Jordi, Japan's Daiya Seto held off American Chase Kalisz to end U.S. domination of the men's 400 individual medley, Hungary's Katinka Hosszu won the women's 400 I.M., and Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands took the women's 50 freestyle.
Seto touched in 4:08.69 to take gold in a race that had been won by U.S. stars Lochte and Michael Phelps at every major meet since the 2005 worlds in Montreal.
Phelps is retired -- for now -- and Lochte has dropped the grueling race, at least for this season.
The 19-year-old Kalisz, who trains at Phelps' club in Baltimore, was far back after the butterfly and backstroke legs. But he began to close on the breaststroke and nearly caught Seto on a freestyle dash to the finish. He settled for silver, with the bronze to Brazil's Thiago Pereira. American Tyler Clary was fourth after taking the silver behind Lochte at the 2011 worlds.
Hosszu was more than 2 seconds under world-record pace through the first three legs, giving her a big enough lead to hold on in the freestyle. She touched in 4:30.41, while Spain's Mireia Belmonte thrilled the home crowd by taking silver. Elizabeth Beisel of the United States earned the bronze, just ahead of hard-charging teammate Madeline Dirado.
Kromowidjojo's victory was a reversal of the 100 free, which was won by Australia's Cate Campbell with the Dutch sprinter taking the bronze. Campbell took silver this time, just 0.09 behind the winner's time of 24.05. Francesca Halsall grabbed the bronze, Britain's only medal of a hugely disappointing meet.
The U.S. had a grand ol' time, finishing atop the swimming medals table with 13 golds and 29 overall -- matching its total haul at the 2011 worlds in Shanghai.
In non-Olympic events, Yuliya Efimova won the women's 50 breaststroke in 29.52, edging world-record holder Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania, while Hardy took the bronze. Camille Lacourt of France won the men's 50 backstroke with a time of 24.42. Grevers tied for the silver with another Frenchman, Jeremy Stravius.
Franklin saved the best for last.
Now, she's off to college at Cal in a few weeks.
"I can't wait," Franklin said. "It just feels more real every second, and I can't wait for the experience."
This one wasn't too shabby, either.

Special Correspondent
While TRS hails it, Telugu Desam surprised at BJP's shift in stand
HYDERABAD: The commitment to separate Telangana expressed by BJP president Rajnath Singh evoked mixed reactions in political circles on Sunday.
YSR declines comment
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, who was on a tour of Karimnagar, refused to comment as the Congress had left the issue to AICC president Sonia Gandhi. He merely said that the State Government would develop the region on all fronts. The Telugu Desam said its stand on separate Telangana had not changed. It had always held that the development of the region was possible only in a unified State. The party's deputy leader in Assembly, N. Janardhan Reddy, expressed surprise over shifting of stand by the BJP. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) welcomed Mr. Singh's statement and said this was an indication for Congress to move a Bill on Statehood for Telangana in Parliament. The Congress was morally bound to get the Bill passed like in the case of the Legislative Council, now that a majority support in the Parliament was assured. The TRS floor leader in Assembly, G. Vijayarama Rao, said they were not perturbed by Mr. Singh's refusal to join hands with them. They were only interested in creation of a separate Telangana. It was immaterial how the objective was achieved.
Reiterating the BJP's stand, its spokesman, Prakash Javadekar, who was in city wanted the UPA Government at the Centre to initiate the Constitutional procedures required for the creation of a separate State. "Once the Bill on Telangana is introduced in the Parliament, the UPA should not have fears of their motion getting defeated."
Pranab flayed
Mr. Javadekar criticised the UPA sub-committee chairman and Union Minister, Pranab Mukherjee, for claiming that the process came to a halt due to lack of response from the BJP.
"Let Mr. Mukherjee come out clear on whether the Congress has given its letter to the sub-committee on Telangana," he asked.

vices might be needed most urgently. Specific data variables considered in this stage include population density, age breakdown (with particular emphasis on the elderly, who are more likely to need—and use—emergency shelter service), language barriers, and combinations of age and ethnicity that might correlate with dietary and nutritional requirements. A variety of economic variables—percentage living below the poverty level and housing tenure (renter/owner)—are also important to assessing outcome—so, too, is the variable on the extent of housing vacancies (including seasonal homes) in the area. Mapping these data is often the most effective way to focus services and resources to the subareas of most acute need.
In disaster response, Paulsen said, the "name of the game is getting ahead of the curve as fast as you can." In its planning, the Red Cross works to have people on hand with the specialized skills needed to address particular problems—but it still takes time to get them into position where they can do the most good. A community like Pascagoula, Mississippi, might ordinarily have a local Red Cross staff of two people; during the response to Katrina, the Red Cross needed to deploy on the order of 25,000 people to Pascagoula, many (if not most) from outside the local area. So, he stressed, the data-driven assessments of impact and need in the wake of a disaster must be completed quickly, and the value of data in making effective resource allocations decreases sharply with the oldness of the data. Put bluntly, he said, "we are going to make bad decisions" if all that is available are 10-year-old data. Paulsen diverged from his presentation to comment on the challenge raised by Census Bureau staff in the earlier discussion session (Section 2–F) on whether a shift of a few weeks or months in data release time would really affect results. As an end user and a manager doing disaster response, he said, "I am really hungry for speed because I feel like I am going to make better decisions the more current the data is"; the actual effective difference in response of a few weeks or months of increased data recency would depend on the magnitude of the change caused by the disaster. For longer-term planning and for disaster preparedness—as he would discuss next—change is slower and so lags might not matter. But fresh, recent data are invaluable in the immediate response and recovery phases of the disaster cycle.
Paulsen echoed Plyer's comment about the usefulness of timely, accurate data in the next step in the cycle—recovery from the disaster. However, given that Plyer had discussed recovery in great depth, Paulsen moved on in the cycle to discuss the role of data in disaster preparedness. He said that preparedness is his new major focus in work at the Red Cross; having led recovery from Katrina and having worked in disaster response for a long time, he said that he wants to really get ahead of the curve and try to reach a point where people do not have to suffer so much when disasters occur. As he put it, Red Cross services cannot be instantaneous at every disaster everywhere, no matter how big the Red Cross is; "people have to do some stuff on their own, and they can reduce their own risk."

Latest Mosquito net Stories
Global family-entertainment giant and its fabulous WWE® Divas will help spread the buzz about preventing malaria to 115 million social media followers and fans New
University of Notre Dame entomologists are part of a team of researchers that recently discovered a potentially dangerous new malaria-transmitting mosquito.
A Cornell University scientist and designer from Africa have together created a fashionable hooded bodysuit embedded at the molecular level with insecticides for warding off mosquitoes infected with malaria, a disease estimated to kill 655,000 people annually on the continent.
The universal coverage campaign for bed nets succeeded in dramatically extending access to these life-saving products, though recent gains may be in jeopardy unless rapid action is taken.
Malaria continues to be a major disease worldwide, but while funding projects are working hard to improve malaria prevention it is difficult to measure how effective these interventions are.

Sheriff's Office warns of new human waste drug, others pooh-pooh its existence
A sheriff's internal bulletin says that Jenkem 'is a homemade substance made when fecal matter and urine are combined in a bottle or jar'
Some teenagers will do almost anything for a cheap high.
But huff fermented human waste?
An information bulletin created by a member of the Collier County Sheriff's Office's Criminal Intelligence Bureau in September chronicling the dangers of a new drug called Jenkem has made its way to the Internet. The bulletin has since been featured on popular Web sites such as Snopes.com, Wikipedia and The Smoking Gun.
So what's all the ahem, buzz, about?
The bulletin says that Jenkem, which is "now a popular drug in American schools," is a homemade substance made when fecal matter and urine are combined in a bottle or jar. The jar is covered with a balloon and placed in the sun for a few days to ferment.
The contents release a gas, which is captured in the balloon and then inhaled creating a "euphoric high similar to ingesting cocaine but with strong hallucinations of times past," the bulletin said.
Because Jenkem is not officially listed as a controlled substance, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration does not have investigative authority over it, said Rusty Payne, a spokesman for the DEA in Washington, D.C.
- RELATED COLUMN: Brent Batten: Reputed high is a real waste
"It's something we're aware of," Payne said. "Obviously if you're doing something like that, you've hit rock bottom. ... Personally, I'm still skeptical. That's not the opinion of the DEA."
The hoopla over Jenkem, also known as Waste, Fruit from Crack Pipe and Butthash, started at the beginning of the school year when a parent of a student who attends Palmetto Ridge High School in Golden Gate Estates heard about the drug from their son. The parent brought Jenkem to the attention of the school's administration, which passed it on to the Sheriff's Office.
"Other than the one memo I received from that parent, I haven't heard the name of it mentioned," Palmetto Ridge Principal Roy Terry said. "I'm sure that something like this can be done, but I have not heard of anybody doing it nor anyone at our school doing it at all."
A deputy researched Jenkem on the Internet and the Criminal Intelligence Bureau created the bulletin, said Capt. Tim Guerrette of the Youth and Delinquency Services Division.
"The information that is on there is what you'd find on the Internet," Guerrette said. "It was intended to be an internal information bulletin."
A deputy spoke to some students on the Palmetto Ridge campus and a few had heard of Jenkem, Guerrette said. Still, there have been no reported cases of Jenkem use in Collier County, he said.
"Believe it or not there would be some kids that would probably try it just to experiment, which wouldn't be the best thing to do, obviously," Guerrette said.
The bulletin describes the high from Jenkem as a feeling of "being out of it" and "talking to dead people." It also said that Jenkem leaves people with a taste of raw sewage in their mouth that "continued for days."
Snopes.com reported that evidence of Jenkem use in the United States is scant and Wikipedia said it is a hoax. However, a BBC report from 1999 said African teens have been using Jenkem for years and quotes a teenager who claims to have used it to forget about problems in his life and to see his dead mother.
Guerrette said deputies have seen plenty of strange things teens will do for a buzz, so they have to take the Jenkem report seriously.
"We have to ensure the safety of the community," Guerrette said. "It's important that we investigate everything."
Deb Millsap, a spokeswoman for the Collier County Health Department, was not aware of any Jenkem use in Collier County. She said experts in the epidemiology and environmental health departments warned that Jenkem use could lead to significant digestive illnesses.
"It lends itself for people coming in contact with fecal matter from the balloon being on the bottle and the balloon going up to the nose," Milsap said. "We would highly recommend that people do not practice this behavior."

Use of Stolen Fiscal Data 'Must End,' Westerwelle Tells Bilanz
Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Germany "must end" its purchases of client information stolen from Swiss banks, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told Bilanz.
The practice of buying "stolen property" to trace tax evaders is "questionable," Westerwelle told the Zurich-based magazine. A Swiss-German tax treaty should be ratified as soon as possible, Westerwelle was quoted as saying.
