A Little Humility
If Iraq has taught us anything, let it be this.

President Barack Obama has treated Iraq like a gambling debt inherited from a reckless uncle, steadily whittling down his exposure until he could finally walk away with a sigh of relief. That moment appeared to arrive earlier this month, when the U.S. withdrew its last combat troops from Iraq and the country's prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, visited the White House, where Obama pronounced Iraq "sovereign, self-reliant, and democratic." Alas, events quickly proved that Iraq wasn't democratic, and possibly not self-reliant either. A better analogy for this tormented country might be the Shakespearean ghost that cannot be willed away.
In recent days, in fact, Iraq has oscillated between farce and tragedy. Maliki had no sooner returned to Baghdad than he issued an arrest warrant for his own vice president, Tareq Hashemi, on charges that he used his guards as a death squad. Hashimi promptly took refuge in Kurdistan, and Maliki demanded that the Kurds hand him over or face unspecified "problems." He also threatened to evict his coalition partners if they didn't end a boycott of the government, which was itself a consequence of his refusal to share power with them. And then came a dreadful reminder of Iraq's enduring vulnerability — a wave of coordinated bombings in Baghdad that killed at least 63 people and bore the earmarks of al Qaeda.
Iraq has endured so much violence, and so much political chaos, that this week's calamities do not, by themselves, endanger the state. A senior administration official I spoke to insisted that this "latest spasm of political immaturity" was par for the course, and pointed out that Maliki's political opponents still "see more advantage in sticking with the system than walking away." Vice President Joe Biden, who more or less owns this unenviable portfolio, has been on the phone with Maliki and other senior officials, urging them to settle their differences in private, rather than in the press. But this official conceded that Iraq could descend back into sectarian warfare "if they don't reel this in."
The death toll in Iraq, which has now reached almost 4,500 American soldiers and over 100,000 Iraqis, as well as the cost in money and national prestige, is so staggering that no outcome, no matter how positive, could justify the original decision to go to war. But this week's events also show how unlikely it is that the war will ever come to be seen as a "transformational" event in the Middle East, as New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman recently suggested it still might. Iraq is likely to remain a "sovereign" state, in Obama's phrase, but also a deeply riven, violent, and quite possibly authoritarian one. It will be for other countries in the region to demonstrate that democracy and tolerance of difference is possible in the Arab world.
As the United States leaves this wreckage behind, or tries to, we need to ask, one last time, whether it could have been otherwise. Was the war itself the original sin, or was it the conduct afterwards? What if we had done … what? In his 2006 book, Squandered Victory, Larry Diamond, a democracy promotion scholar who worked in Iraq (and whom I cited last week), confronts the original sin argument by asserting that "even with an unpopular occupation, the prospect for democracy was not foreclosed." The litany of subsequent mistakes Diamond cites is bottomless, and familiar: too few troops, too little civilian authority, criminally negligent planning, marginalization of the Sunnis, the dissolution of the Iraqi army, wholesale "de-Baathification," a compromised constitution, and above all the refusal to swiftly hand power over to an elected government. Each of these mistakes conditioned the environment in such a way as to limit the effect of subsequent positive developments, including the anti-extremist uprising by the "Sons of Iraq" in 2007, and Maliki's bold decision to take on Shiite militias in 2009.
I would like to believe this theory, and for several reasons. First, I don't accept the premise that American power is a blunderbuss that is destined to do harm rather than good. I'm glad the United States and the West acted in Libya, Bosnia, and Kosovo. While of course you can't "impose" democracy, whether through force or even coercive diplomacy, democracies have arisen in the aftermath of interventions — not just in Germany and Japan, but in Panama and Grenada (not exactly commensurate examples, I acknowledge). It is profoundly in the U.S. interest to do what it can to nurture decent governance or even basic justice in places where Islamic extremism has taken hold, or is likely to. And we know now that the truism that "the Arab world isn't ready for democracy" is an excuse offered by, and for, Arab dictators.
I would like to believe it could have been otherwise in Iraq, but I think this modestly hopeful premise underestimates Iraq's afflictions and overestimates America's capacity to cure them. Iraq is not "the Arab world." The Arab Spring has made the most progress in relatively monolithic states like Tunisia and Egypt, and has met with the most violent resistance in places where a minority controls the majority population, as in Syria and Bahrain. Thomas Carothers, a democracy scholar at the Carnegie Endowment, told me that he calls this "the 80-20 problem." Democratization, he points out, is fundamentally about power-sharing; and minorities almost never give up power without a fight. Iraq's Sunni minority had clung to power through unexampled brutality over the half-century before the U.S. invasion. Carothers argues that even a larger American troop presence, and a more focused political role, would have been unlikely to have stemmed the rise of the Shiite militias of Moqtada al-Sadr and the Sunni extremists who provoked a civil war in 2006. The increasingly ugly infighting between Maliki, the Shiite leader, and his Sunni opponents, is another symptom of the 80-20 problem.
In the months before the war, liberal interventionists (like me) believed that Iraq could be a just war if the United States accepted the burden of post-war nation-building and political stewardship — and then bitterly criticized President George W. Bush for failing to do so. Carothers' point — which he and others made at the time — was that you weren't likely to succeed by fashioning democratic institutions and then training Iraqis to run them, as liberals hoped. If you took power from the minority and handed it to the majority, the minority wouldn't accept it without being cut into the deal — and perhaps not even then. In the event, Sunnis bitter at their fall from power boycotted Iraq's first elections, American administrators helped empowered a new Shiite leadership, and today Maliki has declared war on the leading Sunni members of his government.
Perhaps, then, the lesson of Iraq is not, "You must accept the burden of nation-building, with all it implies," but rather, "Even conscientious nation-building won't solve the zero-sum problem of political power." We should think long and hard about that before, say, we intervene in Syria. But I would suggest a yet broader moral: "We are ignorant." The world is so much more complicated, and so much more refractory, than we wish it to be; and our wishes all too often govern our understanding. It is the combination of limited understanding with immense power that ensures we will visit some measure of tragedy upon the world, and upon ourselves. It can't be otherwise, unless we choose to withdraw from the world, or to watch the worst misfortunes from a safe distance. We will act, and we will do harm despite ourselves. It behooves us, then, to act with humility, and to try as best we can not to confuse what we wish to be with what can be.

One of the mysteries of life is why some of the most excruciatingly beautiful music ever written is connected with some of the lowest themes. I'll supply two examples, without even going for the low-hanging fruit of rock music.
Consider, for example, "O mio babbino caro," from Giacomo Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi:
Oh my dear papa,
I love him, he is handsome, handsome.
I want to go to Porta Rossa
To buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I want to go there!
And if my love were in vain,
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio
And throw myself in the Arno!
I am anguished and tormented!
Oh God, I'd like to die!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
Lauretta's wheedling is bad enough. But how about "Musetta's Waltz," from Puccini's La Boheme?

KOZHIKODE: A two-day summer camp `Ullsa paravakal' organised for school students at the S.K. Pottekkat Cultural Centre here from March 30 provided a breather for the children after the year-long academic routine.
The camp was conducted in an ambience free of competition and provided an opportunity for the students to relax as they started their two-month summer vacation. There was a sizable increase in the number of participants when compared to a similar camp last year.
Cine star Babu Swamy inaugurated the camp and Pottekkat Cultural Centre secretary P.M.V. Panikker presided.
Drawing teacher K. Sudeesh, playwright Purushan Kadalundi were among those who spoke at the inaugural session. Students in classes I to IX participated in the camp.
Clay modelling was a highly popular activity in which the 200-odd children, attending the camp, participated with great enthusiasm. The Thrissur-based sculptor M.K. Johnson guided the children in crafting the models. Papputty (Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad) delivered a lecture on astronomy. Vijayan Karanthur addressed the session on poetry and folk song.
A magic show by Pradeep Houdno was also conducted. Certificates were distributed to the participants. A registration fee of Rs.40 was charged for each participant. Food, paper for drawing and art material were provided by the organisers.

ClassicsOnline Home » SPOHR: Clarinet Concertos Nos. 2 and 4 / Fantasia, Op. 81
Penguin Guide
Louis Spohr (1784 - 1859)
Clarinet Concerto No.2 in E Flat Major, Op. 57
Clarinet Concerto No.4 in E Minor
Fantasia and Variations on a Theme of Danzi, Op. 81
Louis Spohr was born in Brunswick in 1784, the son of a doctor
and descendant of a family that had for some generations been firmly established in the
cure of souls or of bodies. The family moved to Seesen in 1786 and here Spohr began to
develop his innate musical interests, with violin lessons and attempts at composition.
From 1797 he was able to pursue a sounder course of general and musical education in
Brunswick, where, in 1799, he was accepted as a violinist in the court orchestra, with the
encouragement of the reigning duke, a nephew of Frederick the Great. It was through this
patron that violin lessons were arranged with Franz Eck, a musician from the old Mannheim
orchestra, whom Spohr accompanied on a concert-tour to Russia. His return to Brunswick,
now with the first of his violin concertos published with a dedication to the Duke, led to
promotion and a successful concert-tour to other German cities. The result of this was his
appointment in 1805 as Konzertmeister at Gotha, where he met and married Dorette
Scheidler, daughter of a singer and herself a harpist and pianist. In Gotha he was able to
continue his activities as both composer and virtuoso violinist, while securing a good
standard of performance from the orchestra in a court that paid proper attention to music.
There followed further compositions, some for violin and harp to be played by himself and
his wife, and concert-tours that spread his reputation further afield. It was as a result
of success in Vienna that he was invited in 1813 to join the Theater an der Wien as
director of the orchestra. The appointment now gave him a chance to broaden his activities
as a composer, with the possibility of the staging of any opera he might write, although
the first result of this, his Faust, was
rejected, to be given its first performance in Prague in 1816.
Spohr's position in Vienna proving unsatisfactory, in spite of
his success with the public, he arranged for the termination of his contract and after a
year spent in Italy moved in 1817 to Frankfurt as Kapellmeister at the opera, where his Faust was staged. In 1820 he resigned, undertaking
engagements in London, Paris and Dresden and in 1822 accepting the position of
Kapellmeister in Kassel. This appointment did not put an end to his concert-tours, which
he was able to resume during the course of the next thirty-five years. Nevertheless his
association with Kassel was to continue, for better or worse, until his death in 1859.
During this period he consolidated his reputation abroad and in German- speaking countries
as one of the leading composers of the time, a position that, by the time of his death, he
had begun to lose. Spohr represented a link with the old classical tradition and fashions
were now changing. While much of his violin music, the duets, concertos and the Violinschule, remain of importance for students of
the instrument, and compositions like the Nonet are
still heard, much of Spohr's work is only now undergoing a slow process of revival.
Spohr's concertos for the clarinet are in a measure exceptions
to this general neglect of his work. They come at an important stage in the development of
the instrument and its repertoire and thus hold a special position among players. The
first of them, the Clarinet Concerto in C minor, Opus
26, was written in the autumn of 1808 for the clarinettist Johann Simon
Hermstedt in response to a commission from his employer, Prince Günther Friedrich Carl of
Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. The clarinet part necessitated various changes in the
instrument itself, which Hermstedt was able to secure, ensuring a proper response
throughout its register. The second of Spohr's clarinet concertos, the Concerto No.2 in E flat major, Opus 57, was also
written for Hermstedt in 1810 for performance at the Frankenhausen Festival. Spohr has
left an account of a performance in Altona, which took place after dinner, with Hermstedt,
one of the most distinguished clarinettists of the day, having problems of squeaking on a
sustained note crescendo, but these were nothing to the problems of a viola-player in
Spohr's Pot-Pourri for viola and string quartet, who had problems with a
loosening belt and pantaloons that gradually descended, to the fascination of the
audience. The concerto is a delightful work, allowing an operatic role to the soloist and
ending with an inventive final movement, in which the timpani plays an unusual part.
Spohr's Clarinet Concerto
No.4 in E minor was again written for Hermstedt for the Nordhausen Festival of
1829, with Spohr himself playing in a concertante for four violins by the Hanover composer
Maurer. The first movement opens dramatically enough, exploiting the connotations of the
minor key. The usual orchestral exposition builds up to the entry of the solo instrument,
with its embellished version of the principal theme and further virtuosity, as this and
the subsidiary theme are developed, leading to a climax of agile arpeggios as the movement
comes to an end. The slow movement calls for perfect breath control, with its sustained
notes and long phrases. It is followed by a final Spanish rondo, with a cadenza leading to
the first episode, after the announcement of the principal theme, and a continuing
exploration of the full register of the solo instrument.
Spohr was on good terms with the Stuttgart Kapellmeister Franz
Danzi, whom he had met in 1808 when he performed with the Stuttgart Court Orchestra. His Fantasia and Variations on a Theme of Danzi opens
dramatically enough with a histrionic display by the solo clarinet, leading to the
statement of the simple theme on which the variations are to be based. The theme is varied
and embellished by the clarinet in rapid arpeggio and scale passages, in a sequence that
allows the return of drama, before the innocent charm of the final section of the work.
Ernst Ottensamer
Ernst Ottensamer was born in 1955 at Wallern in Upper Austria and studied the clarinet at
the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz, before moving to Vienna Musikhochschule, where he
completed his studies in 1979. He first played with the Vienna State Opera and Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra in 1978, before becoming a principal clarinettist in 1983. Since
1986 he has also been a member of the teaching staff of the Vienna Musikhochschule. Ernst
Ottensamer enjoys a busy career as a founder-member of the Vienna Wind Ensemble, with
which he has undertaken more than 150 engagements at home and abroad. He has appeared as a
soloist with a number of leading orchestras in Vienna and performed the Weber E flat
Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic as part of the 1990 Salzburg Easter Festival.
Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra (Koice)
The East Slovakian town of Koice boasts a long and distinguished musical tradition,
as part of a province that once provided Vienna with musicians. The State Philharmonic
Orchestra is of relatively recent origin and was established in 1968 under the conductor
Bystrik Rezucha. Subsequent principal conductors have included Stanislav Macura and
Ladislav Slovak, the latter succeeded in 1985 by his pupil Richard Zimmer. The orchestra
has toured widely in Eastern and Western Europe and plays an important part in the
Koice Musical Spring and the Koice International Organ Festival.
For Marco Polo the orchestra has made the first compact disc
recordings of rare works by Granville Bantock and Joachim Raff. Writing on the last of
these, one critic praised the orchestra for its competence comparable to that of the major
orchestras of Vienna and Prague. The orchestra has contributed many successful volumes to
the complete compact disc Johann Strauss II and for Naxos has recorded a varied
Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra (Bratislava)
The Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra (Bratislava), the oldest symphonic ensemble in
Slovakia, was founded in 1929 at the instance of Milos Ruppeldt and Oskar Nedbal,
prominent personalities in the sphere of music. Ondrej Lenard was appointed its conductor
in 1970 and in 1977 its conductor-in-chief, succeeded recently by Robert Stankovsky. The
orchestra has given successful concerts both at home and abroad, in Germany, Russia,
Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Hong Kong and Japan. For Marco
Polo the orchestra has recorded works by Glazunov, Glière, Miaskovsky and other late
romantic composers and film music of Honegger, Bliss, Ibert and Khachaturian as well as
several volumes of the label's Johann Strauss Edition. Naxos recordings include symphonies
and ballets by Tchaikovsky, and symphonies by Berlioz and Saint-Saëns.
Johannes Wildner
Johannes Wildner was born in the Austrian resort of Mürzzuschlag in 1956 and studied
violin and conducting, taking his diploma at the Vienna Musikhochschule and proceeding to
a doctorate in musicology. A member of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, he has toured
widely as leader of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra's Johann Strauss Ensemble and of the
Vienna Mozart Academy. As a conductor he has directed the Orchestra Sinfonica dell'Emilia
Romagna Arturo Toscanini, the Budapest State Opera Orchestra, the Silesian Philharmonic,
the Malmö Symphony Orchestra, the Dresden Philharmonic and others. He has recorded works
by Schumann, Wagner and Mozart for Naxos and is one of the main conductors in the Marco
Polo Johann Strauss II complete edition.

West Nile virus is a serious disease which in most cases are transmitted by mosquitoes. This disease is said to be originated from Africa and spread into Europe, Asia and United States. In recent years there has been many cases reported in both south and north America. In United States alone there last year 5,128 cases showing West Nile virus symptoms in people were reported which include 229 deaths.
West Nile virus is one that is prone to mutation and adaptation. The virus is transmitted primarily by the bite of mosquitoes, a medium-sized brown mosquito known as the common house mosquito. The mosquitoes lay eggs in man-made sources of stagnant water in urban environments, and upon hatching, the adults tend to remain nearby. West Nile virus (WNV) survives in the environment through a transmission cycle that involves mosquitoes feeding on infected birds. The virus spreads to the mosquito's salivary glands and is transmitted when the mosquito injects its infected saliva into other, uninfected birds. Infected mosquitoes also bite mammals, including humans, and infect them with the virus. Most birds and mammals can be infected with mosquito-borne WNV, but only blue jays, crows, horses, and humans tend to die of the infection. The American robin contributes most to maintaining the transmission cycle because it has several broods per season and hatching are more susceptible to WNV infection than adult birds.
We can reduce the risk of being infected with the deadly West Nile Virus by protecting us from the mosquito bites. The best option is to use mosquito repellents that are effective. Mosquito repellents with DEET provide maximum protection against mosquitoes and it is also not harmful to skin. For small kids use repellents with less concentration, there are mosquito repellents for babies that are specifically made for babies. Also wear long sleeve clothing whenever going out or at a place where there are presence of mosquitoes. Keep your surroundings clean and drain out all standing water to prevent mosquitoes breeding in and around your home.

Coughing, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes. If you recognize these symptoms in your child, he or she may have allergies and fever. Allergies, which affect about twenty-five percent of children, are caused by an overreaction of the immune system. Exposure to what is normally a harmless substance, such as pollen, causes the immune system to react as if the substance was dangerous. It then creates reactions aimed at destroying the allergen, such as sneezing. If the allergen is in the air, the reaction will likely occur in the eyes, nose and lungs. If it is eaten, the mouth, stomach and intestines may be affected. If the allergen is in or on a skin product, the skin suffers. Also check if your kids have temperature, using quality thermometer to know accurate temperature. If your kid is small and does not allows to take temperature reading using ordinary thermometer, use best forehead thermometer that uses infrared technology to measure temperature.
Allergic rhinitis, also called nasal allergies or hay fever, is an inflammation of the nasal passages. It's usually caused by something in the air, such as pollen, pet dander, mold, and mites. You'll recognize the symptoms as a runny nose, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and sometimes a dry cough. Both allergic rhinitis and colds include sneezing, congestion, runny nose, and watery eyes, so it isn't always easy to tell them apart. However, cold symptoms often appear one at a time: first sneezing, then a runny nose, and then congestion, lasting from seven to 10 days. Allergy symptoms occur all at once, and continue as long as your child is exposed to the allergen. Sneezing, especially several times in a row, is likely to be an allergy.

Laparoscopic surgery is a different approach compared to open surgery. Most of the times procedures and principles are the same. The article is catered towards general practitioners, physicians and most importantly patient themselves who want to know more about laparoscopic surgery. Updated and useful information on laparoscopic surgery at a more local level is very useful and rewarding for doctors and patients alike. With the recent advancement made in medical field, there has been new development in laparoscopic surgeries. Nowadays various complex operations like colon surgery, hernia repair and cholecystectomy are performed laparoscopically. In case of laparoscopic surgery small holes or incisions are made in the patients abdomen and tiny plastic tubes called ports are inserted through this holes. Cameras and other medical instruments are then introduced through them. The camera then transfer internal images of the patient on monitor screen allowing surgeon to operate.
In India, laparoscopic surgeries are still at initial state, but are getting popular day by day. In cities like Mumbai, there are many good laparoscopic surgeons who have successfully performed many complex surgeries laparoscopically. More and more hospitals are now introducing this type of surgeries as the demand from the patients keep on increasing. f you are about to undergo laparoscopic surgery, it is important that you do a little research and learn about this surgical procedures first. So that you don't need to worry about the entire procedure if you have prior knowledge about how laparoscopic surgeries are performed as well as various benefits of it.
Benefits of Laparoscopic surgery
Laparoscopic surgery has many benefits over open surgery and hence it is more popular among patients. The foremost benefit is, in laparoscopy small incisions are made. This allows much fast recovery and shorter hospital stays. In most cases, patients are allowed to go back to their home on the very next day. Since smaller holes are made all throughout their operation, patients also experience less internal scarring and less pain than open surgery operations usually cause. Most patient who choose laparoscopic surgery are happy about much smaller scars. Unlike traditional surgeries, laparoscopic surgery does not require big incisions in order to perform a successful surgical operation.

What is this condition?
Pulmonary hypertension occurs when pulmonary artery pressure rises above normal, but is not caused by aging or altitude. Primary (idiopathic) pulmonary hypertension is rare, occurring most often in women between ages 20 and 40; pregnant women have the highest mortality. Secondary pulmonary hypertension is caused by existing cardiac or pulmonary disease. The prognosis depends on the severity of the underlying disorder.
What causes it?
Pulmonary hypertension Casues include altered immune mechanisms. Secondary pulmonary hypertension is caused by oxygen deprivation from an underlying disease.
What are its symptoms?
Most people complain of increasing shortness of breath on exertion, weakness, dizziness, and fatigue. Many also show signs of right-sided heart failure, including peripheral edema, ascites, neck vein distention, and liver enlargement. Other clinical effects vary according to the underlying disorder.
How is it diagnosed?
Diagnostic tests for pulmonary hypertension include the following:
- listening to the lungs through a stethoscope
- arterial blood gas analysis
- electrocardiography
- cardiac catheterization
- pulmonary angiography
- pulmonary function tests.
How is it treated?
Treatment usually includes oxygen therapy. For people with right ventricular failure, treatment also includes fluid restriction, digitalis glycosides to increase cardiac output, and diuretics to decrease intravascular volume and extravascular fluid accumulation. Of course, an important goal of treatment is correction of the underlying cause.
What can a person with pulmonary hypertension do?
- Avoid overexertion, and always rest between activities.
- Be sure to follow the prescribed diet and medication schedule.
Cardiovascular disease includes a group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease the leading cause of death in the united states accounts for 42% of all deaths. About 25% of Americans (approximately 59 million people) have one or more forms of heart or blood vessel disease. Approximately 1.5 million heart attacks have occurred every year in the last few years, and more than 500,000 of these resulted in death each year. A total of 300,000, or 60%, of these deaths occurred before the victim reached a hospital emergency room.
However, a significant number of these premature deaths could have been prevented with early treatment.Of heart attack victims, 50% wait an average of 2 hours before seeking medical attention. Denying the possibility that a heart attack is occurring is the primary reason for the delay.
The symptoms of a heart attack are similar to those of other physical ailments, and people are more prone to believe that it is one of the other problems rather than a heart attack.Although the figures are foreboding, substantial progress has occurred during the last 40 years. The death rate for cardiovascular diseases has declined by approximately 51 % since 1950. Although an impressive accomplishment, it is somewhat diminished by the fact that cardiovascular diseases remain by far the leading cause of death in the united states.

HARAHAN, La. -- Shock and anger are growing after the Monday night incident where vehicles ran over and killed dozens of seagulls in the Elmwood Shopping Center parking lot.
'Bill, we were shocked. This type of incident had never occurred to us in the many years we've owned this shopping center,' said Elmwood's Louis Lauricella.
Sources say security camera video shows a white pickup truck and a dark colored car speeding through the lot where the birds were resting.
'It's reprehensible to think that anyone could deliberately do something like this to a creature that was overnight roosting, trying to get some rest,' said Robin Beaulieu, director of the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter.
Six hurt seagulls were brought to the Jefferson Animal Shelter, but their injuries were so severe they had to be euthanized.
'The type of injuries that you would expect to see if you were hit by a car, or run over by a car,' said Beaulieu. 'Very badly suffering.'
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agents are now in charge of the investigation.
'Currently we're investigating the incident where someone either intentionally or just through their own carelessness ran over we believe 40 to 50 seagulls,' said Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Captain Stephen McManus.
While agents are looking for those responsible, here at Elmwood Shopping Center, they're on high alert.
They want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
'We're just mortified by it,' Lauricella said, 'so we've stepped up our efforts to look out for this, and combat this, and of course we're working with the authorities.'
'We do enforce federal laws, and this would be a clear violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act,' said McManus.
Agents are seeking help from the public in this case, and ask anyone with information to call their toll free hotline at 1-800-442-2511.

ELDRIDGE: HD antenna can help ditch those cable, satellite providers
One of the home theater questions I get asked most often is how to get rid of cable or satellite bills without losing TV entirely. If you have a high-definition TV with a built-in digital tuner, an HD antenna may be the secret to ditching your cable or satellite provider once and for all.
In most metropolitan areas of the country, you can receive HD broadcasts from ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and PBS over the air. The trick is getting your TV to receive them and translate them into viewable content. For that, you need a TV with a built-in HD tuner (or an HDTV-ready TV and an external HD tuner) and an HDTV antenna.
While signals broadcast over the air are digital, they aren't all HD. What's available in your area is decided by the individual broadcast stations. If you live in an area where over-the-air HD content is available, an HD antenna will convert the signal into content your HD-capable TV can process.
HDTV signals are "line of sight," so mounting an antenna on your roof usually will result in the best reception because of less physical interference.
However, before you climb up on the roof to install an outdoor antenna, try an indoor antenna. If you happen to live close to a broadcast tower and don't have too much interference — think walls, trees, surrounding buildings, etc. — you may get a decent picture.
If you've determined that an indoor antenna won't provide a clear and reliable picture, you'll have to decide if you want to install an outdoor HD antenna.
There are several different kinds to choose from, so select the one that will allow you to receive the channels you want. The Consumer Electronics Association and the National Association of Broadcasters have created a color-coded system for classifying outdoor antennas. Use AntennaWeb (www.antennaweb.org) to find the best one for your location and "viewing preferences." You may be surprised at the variety of channels broadcast over the air — from TBN to Telemundo.
For details on how to install an outdoor HD antenna, go online for CNET's "Weekend Project: Free HDTV with an outdoor antenna."
If you cancel your cable or satellite subscription, you'll automatically give up several perks.
One is the channel guide supplied by your cable or satellite provider. Instead, you can find free, local TV listings online at TitanTV.com. With an Internet-capable TV, you may even be able to use the TV's browser to scroll through channel listings.
Most cable and satellite providers include DVR service with a box, often with an additional monthly fee. You can purchase a stand-alone DVR such as the TiVo Premiere (https://www3.tivo.com/store/premiere.do, $149) to record shows and stream content from Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video and more. You'll have to pay a service fee, starting at $14.99 a month with a one-year commitment. Before you buy, confirm that the DVR model is compatible with an HD antenna.
Finally, access to premium channels such as HBO, Showtime, or Stars is only available via a cable or satellite provider.

Experience Your Best Amsterdam Vacation
The capital and largest city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam, has grown into a center for cultural and financial success. With a population of seven million people, the city is designed for catering to a diverse scene and virtually guarantees you will find plenty to hold your interest.
Amsterdam, a city for everyone, has a little bit of everything rolled into one area. Tour the beautiful Keukenhof Gardens to see famous Dutch tulips, or go on self-guided tours through the old Heineken factory. Whether its beauty or hipness you desire on your vacation, your Amsterdam experience begins with booking your travel on Orbitz.com.
Best Time to Go
Amsterdam vacations cover any season of the year. The most popular is during April, when the tulips in the famous tulip gardens and the fields surrounding the city are in glorious full bloom. Amsterdam Travel fares and accommodation costs will be more expensive at this time of year. There are flower festivals all through the summer, and the historic cheese markets don't open until June. Biking is very popular around the city and is good for any weather pattern, as are the festivals. Visit around the end of April to help celebrate Queen's Day, a national holiday, or visit in September for the very industrial and experimental Robodock Arts Festival.
Because of its location near large bodies of water and its large population, Amsterdam's winters are typically mild with frost but have little snow. The summers are warm, with average highs staying below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a pleasant time to visit and a popular time for tourism. Summer also has a variety of festivals to attend, including the Holland Festival and the Gay Pride parade. If you plan to see the tulips in full bloom, plan to visit during the spring. Regardless of your timing, book your travel ahead of schedule with Orbitz.com to get the best accommodations available in the best parts of town.

I removed the bottom pantry drawer, the lid, the two drawers above the bottom drawer, the glass shelf above the bottom drawer, and the plastic supports for the glass shelf. I used the socket set to remove the sliding metal tray, I installed the sliding metal tray piece on the new end cap. Then I removed the two bolts that held the plastic "pantry end cap" in place. Once those bolts were removed, I carefully pulled the end cap into the center of the fridge to separate temperature control rod from the back of the fridge. There is a piece of angled plastic that holds it in place. Once I had that whole apparatus removed (there are three parts) I had to carefully angle the plastic piece to disconnect the temperature control rod from the old end cap, and install it on the new end cap. So long as you are careful and do not force it, it is very straight forward. You do not need to bend or force anything to get it separated and re-installed. Once I had the temp control rod moved over, I installed the angled plastic piece in the back, then angled the end cap against the side wall, then installed the two bolts that hold it in place. Then I put the pantry drawer, shelf, and other drawers back in place.

This spectacular six-part adaptation of the lit classic feels more like a plush Jane Austen tale than Dickens, full of imprudent matches, trembling bodices, and an enfeebled aristocracy embodied by Lady Dedlock (the return of Gillian Anderson at her most delicate and dazzling). But plenty of Dickensian touches remain in this woeful tale of legal bureaucracy gone awry. Spontaneous combustion, bloodsucking lawyers, and a lovesick schemer named Guppy turn Masterpiece Theatre into must-see TV.

"This place" is a psych ward, and Curtin's character is returning home to her sons (one of whom is played by Fred Savage) and cheating husband (William Devane). The series centers on Savage's character, but it's still fun to watch Curtin in all her kooky fury.

Film CommentMichael Chion's books on film sound... have been revelotory syntheses of an expansive knowledge in elegant, accessible prose.
— Dell Tamblyn
French critic and composer Michel Chion argues that watching movies is more than just a visual exercise-it enacts a process of audio-viewing. The audiovisual makes use of a wealth of tropes, devices, techniques, and effects that convert multiple sensations into image and sound, therefore rendering, instead of reproducing, the world through cinema.
The first half of Film, A Sound Art considers developments in technology, aesthetic trends, and individual artistic style that recast the history of film as the evolution of a truly audiovisual language. The second half explores the intersection of auditory and visual realms. With restless inventiveness, Chion develops a rhetoric that describes the effects of audio-visual combinations, forcing us to rethink sound film. He claims, for example, that the silent era (which he terms "deaf cinema") did not end with the advent of sound technology but continues to function underneath and within later films. Expanding our appreciation of cinematic experiences ranging from Dolby multitrack in action films and the eerie tricycle of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining to the way actors from different nations use their voices and words, Film, A Sound Art showcases the vast knowledge and innovative thinking of a major theorist.
— Dell Tamblyn
— Kyle Stevens
Michael Chion's books on film sound... have been revelotory syntheses of an expansive knowledge in elegant, accessible prose.
Exceedingly teachable and surely welcomed by instructors.... Film, a Sound Art is indubitably an asset to the study of cinema.

HOUSTON Authorities are searching for the mother of a newborn girl who was found abandoned in a Walmart shopping bag near a Cypress apartment complex Tuesday evening.
Harris County Sheriff s deputies say a woman was walking her dog near the Stonegate Villas Apartments in the 11000 block of Grant Road around 7 p.m. when her dog picked up on a scent.
The dog led the owner to a plastic bag along the fence line of the apartments. To her surprise, she found a baby girl wrapped in a plastic Walmart bag. She called 911.
Emergency responders rushed to the scene and immediately began caring for the newborn. The umbilical cord was still attached and was clamped off byems.Paramedicssay the baby was miraculously in good condition and is breathing on her own.
Shewas then transported to Texas Children s Hospital for observation.
Still, everyone wonders who could have possibly left her alone and in the cold.
Neighbors expressed shock and disbelief.
That s just terrible. That s barbaric, said Ryan Neeley. You know that s something that you would do back in the medieval times or something. It s barbaric.
The Harris County Sheriff s Office Crimes against Children Unit is now investigating. Authorities do not believe that the person who dropped off the newborn lives at the apartment complex.
Anyone with information is urged to call the HCSO Crimes against Children Unit at 713-830-3250 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).

Bare Minerals has quite a few palettes releasing for Holiday 2012. The most recent to catch my eye is the Spark a Trend Palette ($54) which features a Ready Eyeshadow Quad as well as other pressed goodies.
This is an interesting development for Bare Minerals. I'm so used to hauling their loose mineral collections for the Holidays and I actually look forward to them so a new pressed palette kinda floored me. I'm such a creature of habit that change of any kind is cause for an uproar in my life.
What do you think of the Spark a Trend Palette?
Take a look!

I recall many years ago I took a great little Ruger Mark II to a well-known local gunsmith for basic trigger and sight mods and many months later I got back a piece of crap that spit out several rounds every squeeze of the trigger and had very crude workmanship on sights. Now when I hear of an interesting used firearm for sale then find out it has been worked on orimproved in any way I run. So I guess I'm saying that if it is going to get done I'll have to do it myself, so any hints, tips, or suggestions are appreciated. onearmsteve01-18-2013, 09:26sight pusher and a you tube video and youll be set Boxerglocker01-18-2013, 12:01You do not necessarily need a sight pusher... in fact a number of sight manufacturers recommend not using them as the mar the rear sight. What you do need is a solid padded vice. I use a phenolic drift and dead blow hammer to tap the sight in place. Depending on the might you may have to file/profile the dovetail to be able at least push the sight half way through by hand pressure only. Cy Baggs01-18-2013, 12:48Sounds doable (is that a word?) How about the front? Tool needed? Any tips? Thanks!!! Dave.101-18-2013, 16:08Have you picked the sights yet? Some are harder to do than others, so a pusher will probably be needed. I've used Aro Tek sights and they are simple screw on sights. They give you the nut driver for the front and an allen wrench for the rear. All you need to do is tap out the old ones with a wooden dowel. http://www.arotek.com/orderform.aspx Dave badcard01-19-2013, 07:45I did a set of Aro Teks also with no issues, but some Mec-Gar target sights I tried got stuck halfway in the dovetail. Ended up taking that one in to a gunsmith after beating on it started to scare me. Cy Baggs01-19-2013, 08:05Thanks everyone!!! I see just what I think I want on Aro-tek and install looks simple. I think I want the ghost ring / aro glow dot #5000160. Even says "no pusher required....Includes all tools needed for installation. What I am trying to fix is my problem sighting. Since getting older and losing my near vision i can't see my sights in focus. I am thinking that this combo will help. Any thoughts appreciated.

Nathan Horton feels good on first day of camp
|09.17.11 at 12:58 pm ET
Nathan Horton skated on the TD Garden ice Saturday for the first time since Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final, when he suffered a concussion and was carted off on a stretcher. After two hours of practice, he said he felt just fine.
"It definitely feels good," Horton said. "It feels nice to not have any setbacks, especially today. The first day is always the hardest. I feel good right now, and hopefully I continue to feel good."
Horton, who was also recovering from a separated shoulder, first returned to the ice last Friday during veterans practice in Wilmington. He said Saturday that he doesn't have any lingering effects from either injury.
"I wasn't worried at all," Horton said. "I just feel like it's in the past. I haven't even thought about it. When I'm on the ice or I do the fitness testing, it doesn't even cross my mind. I just try and do as well as I can and don't worry about headaches or anything like that."
This offseason was different for Horton not just because he was recovering from those injuries, but also because it was much shorter than the offseasons he had in Florida, where he never made the playoffs in six seasons.
"It's fun coming in every year knowing you have a chance to win the Stanley Cup," Horton said. "That's what excites me, and I think everyone's just excited to be back and go for another chance. When you get in the playoffs, like everyone says, it's a taste you just want to keep getting more of. It was the best experience of my life, obviously, and it was a lot of fun. I just can't wait to work towards getting back there."

Interval programming techniques are a valuable approach for tackling uncertainty in mathematical programming models, because they only require the knowledge of the feasible range of variation of the model coefficients. Nevertheless, the use of these techniques has some limitations, namely when the number of decision variables with interval coefficients is high since the number of objective functions at stake in the sub-problem for testing the (weak) efficiency of each non-basic variable may be easily out of an acceptable computational effort. A similar problem may arise with the number of sub-problems for testing the multi-parametric optimality of each solution obtained (that is, to check whether the solution is possibly optimal or not) and the multi-parametric optimality of each edge by using the all emanating edges algorithm. An alternative algorithm is suggested that allows obtaining all possibly optimal solutions, which fulfill the formal criteria of optimality in a feasible bounded region.

Jeremih likes his Birthday Sex, but the Windy City R&B hitmaker doesn't need a special occasion to get it in. In fact, if the Def Jam signee didn't have a musical career to attend to, he and his girl would be going at it on a pretty much constant basis. Fresh off his guest turn on Game's All That (Lady) (currently sitting at #1 on the Booth's Top Hip Hop and R&B Chart), the singer returns to emphasize the voracity of his sexual appetite on All the Time, a cut off 2012's Late Nights tape newly-updated with a couple fresh features. Joining the headliner over FKi's sultry keyboard grooves, YMCMB heavyweight Lil Wayne indulges his taste for freaky wordplay on the middle verse, and Natasha Mosley contributes her studio-tweaked vocals to the chorus. Fans will be able to find this expanded version of All the Time, along with many more top-shelf bedroom burners, on the headliner's Thumpy Johnson street album, scheduled for release in April.
