GWEN IFILL: Now, for more on the critical path ahead for Arab, as well as U.S. leaders, we turn to Dennis Ross, who spent more than ten years as the State Department's chief Middle East negotiator in the first Bush and Clinton administrations. William Quandt, who served on the National Security Council staff during the Nixon and Carter administrations; he participated in the peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt; and Shibley Telhami, the Anwar Sadat professor for Peace and development at the University of Maryland. He recently authored The Stakes, about how U.S. policy toward the Middle East is viewed in that region.
Dennis Ross, what is the significance you have been through a lot of these, what is the special significance of today's meeting?
DENNIS ROSS: Well, I think there may be three elements that I would emphasize. The first one is significant just from the standpoint of the United States. We have am administration that has not been keen to be engaged in Arab-Israeli diplomacy, Israeli Palestinian peace diplomacy making it very clear that it is going to be engaged. So that's number one.
Number two, one of objectives, undoubtedly, for the administration was reflected in having Abu Mazen there — the Palestinian prime minister. He was given a standing along with that of all the other Arab leaders who were there. He was not relegated to meeting only with Prime Minister Sharon. So the fact is, he has a certain standing now and I'm sure that was a very important objective for the administration and I'd say that's another important outcome of today.
And the third one is getting Arab leaders not only to endorse the basic plan the president is working on but also to use language especially on terror that probably goes beyond what we've seen from them before, so I think all three of those are important.
GWEN IFILL: Mr. Quandt, do you pick the same three things that struck you as important today?
WILLIAM QUANDT: Yes. I think presidential involvement is very important. I think the fact that Abu Mazen is new on the job and has an opportunity to present himself differently to the Israeli public and to the American public is important. The support of Arab leaders is important.
I would just add one thing to what Dennis said and that is that this is taking place in a particular moment in the aftermath in the war in Iraq when American influence I think is at a very high level, not because people like what we did in Iraq but because what we do in Iraq now is very important for the entire region.
The Arabs care about that, Israel will care about it, the Palestinians will care about it and all of our allies in Europe and elsewhere will, so we have an opportunity if things go well in Iraq, it can positively influence the direction of things between Israelis and Palestinians, and conversely if it goes very badly in Iraq, we could find that that complicated things for us in the Arab-Israeli arena.
GWEN IFILL: I do want to come back to the Iraq point but first I want to ask Shibley Telhami about what you heard today, whether – and what was different today about what Arab leaders, what Hosni Mubarak had to say, from what for instance, we heard from Arab leaders in 2000 at Camp David.
SHIBLEY TELHAMI: You know, when you look at the role of Arab states in general, people have been sort of suspicion of what they wanted to do on the Arab-Israeli issue. I think over the last two and a half year it's become very clear. They need a solution for the Arab-Israeli issue. It affects their own survival. Their public is very frustrated with the absence of movement. They see the violence. Their governments can't stop it. It's become a political issue for them, and they are all interested in moving forward.
They don't want to jeopardize their relations with the U.S. and at the same time they know the public is angry about their relations with the U.S. and frankly one way for them to reduce the anger is to help bring about movement on the Arab-Israeli front especially now after Iraq because clearly the news from Iraq is not good every single day.
In fact there's not likely to be good news from Iraq from the regional perspective from the American public opinion perspective in the coming days and weeks. In that sense everybody has an incentive to divert attention away from that and to put the focus on something that is more promising.
GWEN IFILL: Dennis Ross, let's pick up on the point about Iraq that first Mr. Quantum and Professor Telhami brought up, which is, is everything different now post Iraq, especially because so many of these Arab leaders were not particularly comfortable with the U.S. intervention?
DENNIS ROSS: I think Iraq does create a different context that's for sure. At one level what it does is it adds to the imagery of American weight. This president said he was going to do something and he did it. He changed an Arab regime. And that in itself creates a new reality. Secondly, I do think in the aftermath of Iraq given the mood of the Arab public, which was already sour because they were watching the intifada on a daily basis on their TV — they saw images that made them very angry of what Israelis were doing to Palestinians. The combination of that anger, the combination of the frustration with their own regimes, the reality of Iraq and all the anticipation in advance of the war and what they felt was going to be a terrible price that the Iraqi people would pay.
All these things came together to create, I think, a moment a moment for Arab leaders to realize we have to show we can do something. I don't know if they want to solve the Israeli-Palestinian issue, but I know for sure they want to diffuse it. And I think they're much more prepared to assume a set of responsibilities if we press hard and are very specific than they were a couple of years ago.
In the year 2000 they did not give a lot of support. Some of the criticism directed against us at the time of Camp David is that we didn't ask them, we didn't tell them what was going on and, therefore, they weren't really in a position to know. The fact is later we did. And when the Clinton ideas were presented in December, they all embraced it, they all said these were historic; they all said they would push Yasser Arafat. And as soon as he raised questions, they said, well, he has questions and they backed off. Today I think their posture is different because they can also work as a collective, and they have a need.
GWEN IFILL: Well, Dennis Ross just brought up, Mr. Quandt, the Yasser Arafat question. Let's parse some of what Hosni Mubarak had to say today when he said that he would support the Palestinians solely through the Palestinian Authority. Is that an end run around the president of Palestinian Authority?
WILLIAM QUANDT: I think the fact that President Mubarak invited Abu Mazen to join them at the meeting in Sharm El Sheikh was a way of demonstrating that he is prepared to deal with the Palestinian prime minister as the spokesman for the Palestinians. Everybody knows that Arafat is still there, that he has some popular support and has some legitimacy in the eyes of many Palestinians. I think the trick here is that if Abu Mazen can produce results and Arafat has not been able to in the last couple of years, that Abu Mazen can, settlements stop, settlements are dismantled, the occupation begins to end, then Abu Mazen's stature rises and Arafat really becomes less and less relevant.
GWEN IFILL: Do you – I hate to interrupt -
WILLIAM QUANDT: On the contrary if he fails, if he is unable to get results through these negotiations, then of course the alternative is both Hamas and a harder line from within Fata itself can trump anything the moderates want to do on the Palestinian side.
GWEN IFILL: From what you know is Abu Mazen equipped to effect the kind of change you are talking about?
WILLIAM QUANDT: Well, he has a large amount of historical legitimacy; he was one of the founders of Fata. He has always been kind of an insider administrator, bureaucrat. He doesn't have popular support. So he has to build up his reputation in the eyes of his own people. That's extremely important for him. The fact that we and the Israelis think he might turn out to be a very decent leader for the Palestinians is really less important than whether the Palestinians themselves reach that conclusion. And that I think will depend on his getting results.
He is, I think, off to a good sort. He is a man of balance and moderation, even tempered. I think he presents the Palestinian position quite well. I don't think his substantive position is all that far apart from Arafat's but his style, of course, is very different.
GWEN IFILL: Professor Telhami, is it too much for the U.S. and for Israel to hope that because of the kind of support that the Arab leaders lent to the cause today that Arafat can indeed be isolated?
SHIBLEY TELHAMI: Well, frankly, Arafat may be even willing to be somewhat isolated. He has demonstrated that he is sort of supporting this process. He ultimately needs movement because he has no options. So he's going to do it, but the reality of it is Abu Mazen is dependent not only on the support from within the Palestinian Authority itself and from Arafat but more especially from the public. And that's ultimately the real issue. And I think that's what Bill was pointing to.
The reality of it is if he is not going to be able to deliver on the things that he has promised, including confronting Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank. The public doesn't support that if it's done unilaterally. The public supports it only if it is done in reciprocal steps with Israel. So it's going to be a function of what he can deliver to them in the short term, because if he can't deliver and he doesn't have the grassroots political base, clearly he is going to be in trouble very quickly, and Arafat's stock may rise.
GWEN IFILL: Well, and let's talk about what public opinion might be on this, Dennis Ross. Is there trust that the United States is operating in an honorable way, that is to say that they are not really biased in favor of Israel and Ariel Sharon ultimately especially now that there is an occupation going on in Iraq that so many people in the Arab street did not support?
DENNIS ROSS: I doubt seriously that there is trust in the United States. But I'm also not sure that that is the key variable. The fact of matter is the U.S. is always being accused of being biased towards Israel and yet it's precisely our relationship with Israel and our capacity to influence Israel that makes us the indispensable actor in the eyes of most Arabs and certainly most Palestinians.
I think the key here for Abu Mazen is obviously partly driven by us, but ultimately I think, as both Shibley and Bill said, what matters is does he deliver, does he produce results, can he show that his way works and Arafat's didn't? Arafat in the last two years offered nothing but tired slogans. His standing among Palestinians is probably lower than it has ever been. He remains an icon because he put them on the world stage and he gave them recognition and standing. But he's an icon of the past.
Right now, if Abu Mazen can demonstrate that he can relieve what is an awful desperation that Palestinians feel, if he can show that life will get better, if he can show that he can affect Israeli behavior, if he can show that he affects the American behavior, which also affects the Israeli behavior, then you're going to see him build his authority and obviously it will require him to take steps. And they won't be easy steps. The fact of the matter is if there's a context created for his steps, he will be successful but it's going to take some time; everybody is going to have to help; the Israelis have to help. The Arabs have to help. We have to help.
GWEN IFILL: Let's talk about some of that help, Mr. Quandt. Are Arab leaders, as far as you can tell, prepared to turn on that spigot of financial help that Abu Mazen may need for instance, to restore irrigation pipes, to be able to, for instance, stop reliance or at least the nod and wink to Hamas? Are other Arab countries going take part in that?
WILLIAM QUANDT: I think that if things really begin to change on the ground that is if the Israelis are pulling back, the settlement process is stopping, settlements are being dismantled, that would give a lot more confidence than exists in the present situation. Arab states, Europeans, the United States, itself, would be more encouraged to begin to put support back into the Palestinian Authority if we can see that it's beginning to get back on its feet and is able to play the kind of role that we had hoped it could years ago.
The problem in the last two years, of course, is that the Palestinian Authority has been pretty much shattered specifically in the West Bank. And I don't think anybody is going to be pouring a lot of money into the Palestinian Authority unless they see that it's part of a process that's beginning to get the diplomacy back on track where the Palestinians can begin to act like a state in the making. They can begin to create a police force that is really doing its proper job.
In those cases I don't think money is going to be the problem. The question is whether we can see a context emerge where the Palestinians begin to govern themselves as had originally been envisaged when the Palestinian and national authority was set up.
GWEN IFILL: Professor Telhami tomorrow the president sits down with Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud Abbas in Akaba, Jordan. And what should we be watching for to come out of that meeting? What does the U.S., what are the next steps the U.S. has to take and what are the next steps that either of these parties have to take?
SHIBLEY TELHAMI: Well, there's no question by some measure it's going to seem like a success no matter what because a statement has already been prepared and each one is likely to make some positive statements like recognition of Palestinian state in principle by the Israelis, recognition of Israel by the Palestinians. There's likely also to be announcements of additional steps that are concrete. Today the Israelis released prisoners. The Palestinians are likely to announce additional steps. All of that will add up to success.
But the reality is there is very little trust remaining between the two sides. I think the real question is whether the president persuades them that he means business — whether this is not seen to be only episode one that will being forgotten. Each side is going to be taking a lot of risk in taking the sort of things they have to do to move toward. And what terrifies them most is they'll do it and then they'll be left hanging. That's the real issue for the president. People don't have faith that the president will be invested. He has to convince them that he will.
GWEN IFILL: Shibley Telhami, Dennis Ross, and William Quandt, thank you very much.

I first replaced the element and the receiver. This required splicing lines which was very easy. It still did not heat (even though my element indicator light was on) so I replaced the switch regulator. This took a little time because of the small space on my model. In fact, I had to replace a wire that had shorted by splicing a 3 inch section into it. When that was done, I simply re-connected the 5 wires in the original positions and reattached the cover. It works like a charm and my wife is delighted because we are hosting a family reunion/baby shower tomorrow!

Yesterday, Larry Page announced that more than 750 million devices powered by Android have now been activated globally. Considering that Google accounted for 480 million Android devices in September, Business Insider has calculated that by now, "Google is averaging 1.4 million devices activated per day".
Looking back, it seems like the pace of activation has slowed over the past few months. Taking current Android growth figures into account, Horace Dediu from ASYMCO expects the amount of activations to hit one billion in August 2013.

Canadian Infertility Awareness Week — Genesis Fertility Centre Supports Funding in Vitro Fertilization in British Columbia
May 15th kicks off Canadian Infertility Awareness Week. More than 350,000 Canadian couples struggle with infertility. Yet Canada, with the exception of Quebec, is one of the only developed countries where IVF is not publicly funded.
Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) May 09, 2011
May 15th kicks off Canadian Infertility Awareness Week. More than 350,000 Canadian couples struggle with infertility. For many, IVF is their best or only chance of getting pregnant. Yet Canada, with the exception of Quebec which implemented public funding August, 2010, is one of the only developed countries where IVF is not publicly funded.
The new Québec program, "includes a single embryo transfer policy, [and] will actually result in savings for Quebec tax payers due to an 83% reduction in multiple birth pregnancies: 77% fewer twins and 95% fewer triplets. In addition, there will be 1,368 fewer low-birth-weight babies," according to the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada (IAAC).
Dr Al Yuzpe, co-founder and co-director of Genesis Fertility Centre in Vancouver, serves on the IAAC board and has been advocating for provincial funding for IVF since the 1980′s. He wonders if BC's new Premier and her "Families First" agenda will follow Quebec's lead in funding IVF.
"Infertility is a serious medical condition and emotionally devastating for the couples that are struggling to have a family. Why is it that British Columbia funds infertility testing, yet won't fund the most effective treatment for infertility?"
Not only would publicly funded IVF alleviate significant financial and emotional hardship for couples suffering from infertility, but economic studies show that by including a single embryo transfer policy it would be a great cost savings to the public health care system.
"Multiples have been glamourized by celebrities like Celine Dion. But what people don't realize is that for multiples, even twins, there is a higher risk of premature birth, cerebral palsy, respiratory diseases, blindness, deafness and death as compared to singleton pregnancies," says Yuzpe.
Genesis has been performing elective single embryo transfers (e-SET) since 2006. "To date our clinic has performed the most e-SETs of any clinic in Canada," says Yuzpe. "With a 68% pregnancy rate for women under 35, we feel confident that we can provide women with an excellent chance of getting pregnant without the higher risk of miscarriage or health problems associated with multiple pregnancy."
Yuzpe is hopeful that Canadian Infertility Awareness Week will increase the public understanding about issues around infertility and that the awareness of the hard economic and health data will get the new BC premier to consider funding for IVF.
Genesis will be participating in a public information forum on fertility Tuesday May 17th at 950 West 41st Avenue, Gallery Room, Vancouver Jewish Community Center. Space is limited. To reserve a seat call 604-678-8600 or e-mail jenn(at)acubalance(dot)ca
Since opening its doors in 1995, Genesis has grown to be one of the largest IVF clinics in Canada offering a comprehensive range of assisted reproductive technologies, including IUI, IVF, ICSI, PGD, surgical sperm retrieval, cryopreservation, oocyte and sperm donation.

JNL(R)'s First Quarter Variable Annuity Sales Up More than 50%.
"Jackson's VA sales success is a result of our continued focus on providing value to both advisers and their clients," said Clark Manning, JNL's president and CEO. "Advisers can customize our variable annuity products to meet the individual needs of their clients, including separately priced optional benefits that allow consumers to only pay for the features they desire."
Jackson National Life(R), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the United Kingdom's Prudential plc (NYSE:PUK), reported retail sales in its core life and annuity product lines of more than $2.0 billion in the first quarter of 2006, up more than 29 percent over retail sales during the same period last year. First quarter 2006 marked the sixth consecutive quarter that JNL recorded an increase in variable annuity sales. VA sales rose each month throughout the first quarter, peaking at just over $600 million in March (a monthly record). In January 2006, Jackson National Life added five new portfolios to the lineup within its variable annuity products - four sub-advised by Standard & Poor's Investment Advisory Services, LLC(R) and one sub-advised by Mellon Capital Management. Additionally, JNL added a 5-percent annual benefit increase option to two of its popular lifetime guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits(1).
"With innovative products, a producer-focused distribution model, and award-winning customer service, Jackson National Life has developed a significant competitive advantage in today's marketplace," said Clifford Jack, JNL executive vice president and chief distribution officer. "JNL has earned a top position with the industry's best advisers, and those distribution relationships helped drive our record retail sales this quarter."
JNL ranked 12th in industry variable annuity sales in 2005, up from 14th in 2004, and the company's VA market share rose by 28 percent, from a 2.8-percent market share in 2004 to 3.6 percent in 2005(2). Furthermore, JNL's Perspective II(R) variable annuity was the top-selling VA contract among independent financial advisers and ranked fourth in total industry VA contract sales during 2005(2). The success of Perspective II helped JNL grow its VA assets under management by 31.8 percent last year, the highest annual increase recorded among the industry's top 25 variable annuity sellers(2).
Sales of JNL's fixed index annuities surpassed $232 million in the quarter, a decline of approximately 4 percent from first quarter 2005 sales. JNL's traditional fixed annuity sales totaled $260 million, down 16 percent from the prior year period, and total first-year life insurance premium reached nearly $9.6 million, down 23 percent from first quarter 2005.
"Industry sales growth of fixed and fixed index annuities has slowed over the past nine months," Jack said. "Low interest rates and a flat yield curve have limited customer demand for fixed annuities, and continued uncertainty in the regulatory environment has dampened interest in FIAs."
During the first quarter of 2006, JNL capitalized on several attractive issuance opportunities to generate nearly $783 million in institutional product sales, a 1-percent increase over the prior year period. JNL's subsidiary Curian Capital, a registered investment adviser, gathered more than $212 million in deposits, down 4 percent from first quarter 2005, as the firm focused on profitable growth. Upon completion of its third full year of operation, in March 2006, Curian's total assets under management surpassed $1.8 billion.

New Lifeguard Swim Suit Introduced by Lifeguard Master
Lifeguard Master introduces a new lifeguard swim suit for men. These new swim shorts have many benefits such as durability, comfort, long lasting and high visibility in an emergency situation.
Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2013
These new and improved Circle Design Swim Shorts are designed to be more durable moving through water. Lifeguard Swim Shorts have more to consider than one who is just looking for a swim suit for recreational purposes. The lifeguard's swim shorts need to be serviceable, much as a policeman's uniform, or a fireman. Yet, it must not hamper his ability to perform his duties, if needed. And, it must be comfortable. For more information on these shorts, please click on: Lifeguard Swim Suits.
Several brands of men's lifeguard swim shorts are on the market today. Careful thought was put into making the shorts to ensure that swimming at the beach or at a pool has never been easier. The shorts come in several different sizes. These shorts are lightweight and will keep the lifeguard cool for those long days at the pool or beach. They allow the lifeguard to have the unique feeling that he or she is not wearing anything at all. Lifeguards report that the shorts are light and comfortable to wear. The Circle Design Swim Shorts are styled with a mesh lining that conforms and fits the body snugly, without causing discomfort. It has dual front pockets and a side cargo pocket. It's also 100% polyester/ Mesh liner. For more information, please click here.
The exterior of the shorts is designed to move fluidly with the movements of the lifeguard, without restriction or danger of snagging. There is also a drawstring belt to allow the lifeguard to adjust the waistline to the perfect fit. The shorts are also featured with inside support/lining Each pair has the white "GUARD" lettering and white cross in the signature circle design. These shorts not only are great quality and provide comfortable when in the pool or at the beach, but Lifeguard Master is also featuring the shorts as their "must have item" with a competitive price. In today's market it's difficult to find affordability along with reliability.
Probably the biggest asset these lifeguard shorts provide is the visibility in an emergency. In any given emergency, patrons and stander bys need to know who to go to. The proper uniform is essential for these situations. The lifeguard on duty must be easily recognizable in an emergency situation. The bright red color of the shorts provide that effect.

Giants Making Potential Splashes in Free Agency
After disappointing 7-9 2013 season in which they finished third in the NFC East, GM Jerry Reese has made it clear that the New York Giants have a multitude of positions that need to be upgraded. The biggest team needs have been looked at so far during the premature stages, and those are at Running Back, Offensive Line, and Defensive Line

Giants Give Osi Umenyiora Permission To Seek Trade
It looks like Osi Umenyiora doesn't want to be a member of the New York Giants any longer and it looks like Big Blue could be honoring his request.
According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, the Giants have given Osi Umenyiora's agent permission to work out a trade for the two-time Pro Bowl defensive end.

Column: Will NHL be a no-show at Sochi Olympics?
IIHF president Rene Fasel has said he wants an agreement completed before the federation's World Championships in May. Fasel did not return a phone call Monday, but if he's counting on the NHL to fall in line meekly, he could be waiting a long time. Bettman defied conventional wisdom in his last negotiation with the union, canceling the Winter Classic, the All-Star Game and nearly half the regular season to wring concessions from the league's players. He's unlikely to be in a more forgiving mode, even with the notoriously imperious IOC.
As much as the Olympics lifted hockey's profile at Salt Lake City in 2002 and Vancouver just three years ago - where Canada won the gold over the United States both times - it did very little of that at both Nagano and Turin in 2006. Not only were the finals at both those Olympics lacking in star power - 1998 featured the Czech Republic vs. Russia; 2006, Sweden vs. Finland - the games were played and televised at odd hours for North American audiences, which are the NHL's bread and butter. The Sochi Games will be nine hours ahead of the U.S. Eastern time zone.
On the plus side, NBC is the TV partner for both the NHL and the IOC, which may be the biggest reason former IOC vice president Dick Pound called it "cosmically stupid" for the NHL to even consider staying away. NBC has already announced it will televise every game Team USA plays live, though that seems like small consolation at the moment. Yet Bettman may not be convinced to go along unless he can extract more rights to the product and better access at the games than the NHL received in the last deal.
The IOC recognizes the value the NHL brings to the games - hockey routinely ranks among the top three sports in Olympic viewership, along with figure skating and downhill skiing. But any concessions the IOC makes to the NHL likely will end up on the wish lists of all the other pro sports already in the fold. The top league in hockey-mad Russia, the KHL, has already vowed to send its players to Sochi, but that, too, could change.
"Right now, we don't have the same problems with any other sport, only hockey," said Heiberg, who headed the organizing committee for the 1994 Lillehammer Games, the last Winter Games played without NHL pros.
"We're very strict about some things, maybe too strict," he mused, then added quickly he was not speaking on behalf of the IOC. "I think we will find common ground."
Maybe so, but considering the parties involved, odds that this dispute will get settled quickly, let alone amicably, are about the same as a snowball's chance in Sochi, where the average temperature in March is a relatively balmy 50 degrees.

Puthiya Tamizhagam leader Krishnasamy who tried to stage a sit-in protest in the House was evicted
The Congress and the CPI(M) on Tuesday abstained from the voting on the government resolution in the State Assembly against India's participation in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Sri Lanka.
Members of these two parties left the House after their leaders expressed their stand on the issue. Puthiya Tamizhagam leader K. Krishnasamy who tried to stage a sit-in protest in the House was evicted before voting.
While the Congress member N.R. Rangarajan justified India's decision to send External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid and said that this was in the interests of the Sri Lankan Tamils, CPI (M) floor leader A. Soundararajan said similar resolution adopted in the Assembly on October 24 was sufficient.
Mr. Rangarajan argued that India's efforts alone ensured elections to the Northern Province and the election of C.V. Wigneswaran as Chief Minister.
Earlier, the Congress members staged a walkout protesting against All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi leader R. Sarathkumar's remarks that Manmohan Singh was a "mute Prime Minister."
The Congress members urged Speaker P. Dhanapal to expunge Mr. Sarathkumar's remarks, but he said they could register their view during their turn to address the House.
Dr. Krishnasamy had a noisy argument with the Treasury Benches after he averred that Prime Minister avoided the CHOGM probably because of the earlier resolution asking India to totally boycott the meet.
Electricity Minister R. Viswanthan said Dr. Krishansamy's argument could not be accepted as five times in the past the Prime Minister had stayed away from the Commonwealth meetings.
DMK leader M.K. Stalin welcomed and supported the resolution. Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam whip V.C. Chandrakumar said Tamil Nadu should mobilise support to expel Sri Lankan from the Commonwealth.
CPI floor leader M. Arumugam said the resolution should have incorporated stronger words to condemn the Union government.
Manithaneya Makkal Katchi leader M.H. Jawahirullah alleged that the Central government had always used a different yardstick when it came to problems of Tamils.
PMKboycotted the special sitting. The party has three MLAs and its leader in the House Kaduvetti J. Guru has been detained under the National Security Act (NSA). "He has been detained three times under the NSA and once it was modified to keep him in prison. Our party decided to boycott the session to express our protest against his arrest," PMK sources said.
The party stayed away from the Assembly during the budget session after attending the House for some days.

Advice & Support
If you have an arrhythmia that causes your heart to beat too fast or
too slow, you may feel lightheaded or dizzy. This happens because your heart
cannot pump blood effectively during excessively fast or slow heart rates. The
ineffective pumping action decreases your blood pressure, reducing the amount
of blood that reaches your brain.
The sensation of lightheadedness is a result of this lack of blood
flow to the brain. If your blood pressure drops too low, you may feel that you
are about to pass out. This sensation is called presyncope. Syncope is the
medical term for a temporary loss of consciousness (passing out).
Dizziness can be caused by conditions other than arrhythmia. For
this reason, your doctor will try to determine whether your
dizziness is caused by a heart condition, medicine, or other factors.
Many of the medicines used to treat heart conditions, such as
beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitors, and diuretics, can lower the blood pressure excessively and result
in lightheadedness. In general, medicine-induced lightheadedness frequently
occurs soon after you stand up because of a drop in blood pressure that happens
when you stand (orthostatic hypotension). In contrast, lightheadedness due to
an arrhythmia can occur even when you are sitting or reclining.

Hey everyone! I'm working on a project for my graduate thesis and we're looking for input from genealogists! We're trying to analyze how genealogists and other groups interact with their work. Below is the link to our Wufoo survey we have to collect data. You'll notice there are several options in the first question. It's taking people only 1-2 minutes, tops. Ideally you would choose the genealogy option and you'll be sent to that survey, but if you think one of the other options are more applicable to you, feel free to choose one of those.
Here is the text link:
Also, if you have any suggestions about something that you wish you had to make genealogy easier/better, post them here! You can also PM me
P.S. I know some people may not trust the link. If you complete the survey, please take a second to post a reply that the link is credible and that the survey only takes a minute or so.

Archived Story
Our foreign policy in freefallPublished 9:51am Friday, March 8, 2013
It is not just the complexity of the Arab Spring, nor the continued weirdness of the soon-to-be-nuke powered North Korea, nor even the Iranian claims of no nuke interests while acting exactly opposite. No, American foreign policy is in danger of freefall for more elemental reasons; our policy no longer fits the world now connected by the Internet we created.
Since World War II American foreign policy has been shaped by our military and economic power across the globe, and that power has sought to direct our friends and adversaries to submit to the wishes of the lone superpower.
We created NATO to protect Western Europe from communist aggression, but when communism failed NATO remained and expanded into previously occupied states.
And today we have offered a nuclear protective defense umbrella to our friends there, theoretically to protect the continent from Iranian nuclear ambitions, though the Russians would be the logical adversary with the capability to attack.
We protected Taiwan against communist China, only to have China become our largest trading partner and economic friend and foe all at the same time.
Today we sell Buicks in China and they steal our patents and hack into our corporate and governmental secrets.
We have protected Israel, the small powerful nation that resides in the most dangerous community on the planet. No nation has more needed nor more benefited from U.S. strength, but their isolation seems more and more a permanent condition in the Middle East.
We have supported the wrong leaders in the Middle East so often that even now, in Egypt, a longtime friend though no longer an ally, we are struggling to find a path forward with a government led by the Muslim Brotherhood.
In South America we have opposed leftist leaders for generations with little effect in a continent where the populist movement seems innate to the broader culture and our efforts have brought us no positive results.
And today the planet is wired into the social network of the Internet, where citizen revolutions have thrived by instant messaging and viral videos to incite and spark reaction.
It is time for our foreign policy to change, to adapt to the new realities we face. We can no longer use our direct power to dominate others and gain the outcomes we seek.
This lesson we should have learned in Vietnam, or certainly in Iraq, and now absolutely in Afghanistan. Fielding an army in response to dispersed enemies within the population simply is ineffective.
But that is a military strategic issue, when what we face is a larger issue, which is: What American interests should we advance and how should we adapt to do so?
Should we advance democracy as George Bush believed, across the globe?
Maybe not, since democracy requires both an educated population and a tolerance for compromise free of ideology.
Should we advance capitalism, the engine that has best driven economic growth? Maybe, but capitalism takes many forms; the European form is more worker and community oriented than the American version. There is no single perfect version.
What if we advanced health worldwide, agricultural advances, and good government practices?
What if we stopped having preferences about what leaders other nations picked and instead strived to work with those leaders to find the best outcomes for each nation, even if not the best outcome for the U.S.?
And what if we used our military and our military technology in conjunction with other nations to protect vulnerable people from senseless cruelty where intervention was the only true compassion?

Turkey lifts ban on thousands of books
More News from Agence France-Presse
From communist works to a comic book, thousands of titles banned by Turkey over the decades were taken off the restricted list Saturday, thanks to a government reform.
In July, the parliament adopted a bill stipulating that any decision taken before 2012 to block the sale and distribution of published work would be voided if no court chose to confirm the ruling within six months.
The deadline came and went Saturday and no such judicial decisions were recorded, the head of Turkey's TYB publisher's union, Metin Celal Zeynioglu, told AFP.
"All bans ordered by (the courts in the capital) Ankara will be lifted on January 5," city prosecutor Kursat Kayral confirmed to AFP.
Kayral had announced last month that he would let lapse every ban in his jurisdiction, a decision that cleared 453 books and 645 periodicals in that area alone.
Among them were several communist works such as the "Communist Manifesto" written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, as well as writings by Soviet tyrant Joseph Stalin and Russia's revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin.
Others included a comic book, an atlas, a report on the state of human rights in Turkey and an essay on the Kurds.
But the books under Kayral's jurisdiction make up only a fraction of all the titles affected—a total of up to 23,000 works according to Zeynioglu, who said he learned the number from the justice ministry.
The ministry did not immediately confirm the total—a number that Zeynioglu added was hard to nail down.
"These bans weren't implemented in a centralised fashion: they were ordered by different institutions in different cities at different times," he said.
"Besides, most have been forgotten over the years and publishers have resumed printing the banned books."
As an example, the complete works of Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet, who died in exile in Moscow in 1963, had already been stocked in libraries for years despite the ban.
The reform is thus largely symbolic, and some are sceptical of whether it reflects any true change within the Turkish state.
"The mindset hasn't changed and people (in the administration) will continue to do whatever they think is right," said Omer Faruk, a former head of the Ayrinti publishing house.
He cited as an example the fate of one of his published books: the erotic "Philosophy in the Bedroom" by French writer Marquis de Sade.
Deemed licentious, the text was banned, but the Supreme Court overturned the decision. Yet "despite the ruling, the book continues to be seized", Faruk said.
This scepticism is reinforced by the ruling Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party's record in matters of freedom of speech.
The Committee to Protect Journalists said last month that Turkey had, at 49 people, the highest number of journalists behind bars, with most of them Kurds.
In late November, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan himself took the directors of a television series to task, saying their script was in conflict with history and Muslim morals.
"Those who toy with the people's values must be taught a lesson," Erdogan said.
But despite his reservations, Zeynioglu said there would be at least one concrete result of letting the bans lapse.
"Many of the students arrested in demonstrations are kept in prison because they're carrying banned books," he said.
"From now on, we won't be able to use that as an excuse."

Urologist and Allergist Explore Link Between Allergies and Interstitial Cystitis
Findings point to new treatment options and research directions
"Until now, the evidence linking IC and allergies has been circumstantial," said
That suggests that there is a correlation between allergies and IC, but can allergies cause bladder symptoms? A clearer answer comes from actual allergy testing and treatment of patients. After holding several discussions on this subject,
These doctors found they were referring patients to each other. Hubbard was sending IC patients with seasonal allergies to Smith, and Smith had allergy patients who also had bladder symptoms. Then, they found that Smith's allergy testing and treatment was helping to resolve IC symptoms, sometimes dramatically.
Foods Fingered
Although IC patients' seasonal allergy miseries are what gave the clue to the connection, Smith is finding that food allergies are common in IC patients. He estimates that 35 to 40 percent of the IC patients he sees have bona fide allergies to foods, based on the results of their skin prick tests and elimination-challenge diets, and that their IC gets better when they remove those foods from their diet. "We've been able to identify a lot of food allergies that IC patients didn't even know they had," noted
Stimulants, such as coffee and tea, and the acid and spicy foods that have long been known to cause problems for IC patients may be bladder irritants even without allergy. "Put those on already irritated bladder tissue, and you probably are going to see a response," Smith said. But he's also finding allergic reactions to some of these items in IC patients. Positive skin prick tests for cayenne (a hot pepper) seem to be common.
The effect on IC of treating environmental allergies with shots or medications is less obvious, said Smith, but still seems to be beneficial. About half to a third of the IC patients he sees have proven environmental allergies or symptoms, such as hay fever, asthma, recurrent ear infections, or chronic urticaria (hives).
Hubbard and Smith are collaborating on a more formal study of the link. One goal is to find a marker that will help urologists decide which patients may benefit from allergy testing and treatment. Like many urologists, Hubbard uses cystoscopy and hydrodistention under anesthesia as part of his workup to exclude other conditions that may cause IC-like symptoms. But he is reviving an older practice of taking a biopsy specimen during the procedure and sending it to a pathologist to look for mast cells because, when mast cells reach a certain density, patients seem to benefit from allergy testing and treatment. Mast cells elsewhere in the body are key players in allergic reactions, but their role in the bladder tissue of IC patients has not been clear.
Dr. Smith and Dr. Hubbard plan to conduct more research and hope to spark the interest of additional IC and allergy researchers. Meanwhile, these doctors are continuing to help IC patients get better. Not everyone responds, said Smith, "But for the high percentage who do improve with allergy management, it's well worth the effort. It's one of the most rewarding patient care experiences I have ever had."
Diet and IC
Future research will reveal more about the role of food allergy in IC patients' symptoms. Meanwhile, whether patients have "true" allergies or sensitivity to foods, the treatment is the same — an elimination challenge diet. Elimination diets remove the potential problem foods from the patient's diet and add them back one at a time to see if the food really causes a problem.
ICA offers the following advice to patients when modifying their diets:
- The effect of food and drinks on IC symptoms varies greatly from individual to individual. It's important to note the type of food or beverage, as well as how much, how often and the specific combination of food and beverages ingested. Give yourself plenty of time to discover your ideal diet. It may require several weeks of trial and error.
- Eat a healthy, varied, balanced diet — most patients can do this if they work to identify problem items first.

I have to say that I am disappointed that this blush does not live up to the hype. It is not a dupe for NARS Orgasm IMO. My brush picks up the gold shimmer and nothing more.
I do not get pigment from the blush. It might work as a nice highlighter.

This should not be a "blush" but a highlighter. I have a medium skintone so this on me is very sheer and hardly any colour shows up. However, if you apply this as a highlighter (on top of cheekbones, bridge on nose, chin) it looks like you have come back from an exotic island. It is very shimmery so should be applied with a light hand.

I normally love Sleek blushes (I have two others) and I bought this because of all the rave reviews. I also heard it was good for dark skin... but it honestly looked much better on my mum who has lighter skin than I do (she's more olive-toned). In fact, it just looked like I'd swept gold shimmer onto my cheeks. The "rose" pigment/colour didn't show through at all on my brown skin. This is a huge disappointment since I always looked up to Sleek as a drugstore brand that catered for women with darker skin. I gave mine to my mum since it makes me look oddly washed out. It does look quite stunning on lighter skin, so if you're a lighter-skinned lady, you could definitely rock this!
I just want to say that on a general note, the one thing that bothers me about Sleek blushes is the packaging. The compacts are really hard to open! I always have to use my nails to pry the case open and that's not fun as they sometimes break my nails and cause me to run late. I really hope they come up with packaging that's easier to open!

I don't like this very much. I have 2 other individual sleek blushes and one palette and I like them all. I like shimmer in anything, lipstick, eye shadow, blush. I mix liquid highlighter with my foundation! So I'm absolutely not the kind of girl that despises everything with shimmer and is only about matte products. I'm not the "eeeew, a a tiny fleck of shimmer, sooo tacky!!" girl.
But this one is too shimmery. Or not pigmented enough. One of the two. It looked completely gorgeous when I swatched in the store. But when I applied it lightly, it left barely any colour on my face, only the golden shimmer. When I applied it more heavily, the color started to show up but the golden shimmer was way too much to the point where I looked greasy from a distance and caked and powdery up close.
I'm all about lightweight, luminous and natural looking makeup.I was expecting rosy/ peachy cheeks with the slightest fine golden sheen.
Only use I can find for it right now would be as a highlighter. But I already have three powdered highlighters, one shimmery bronzer and two liquid highlighters. Don't need another highlighter.
I actually think this would work great as a highlighter, but it was not marketed as such. It's a blush, and I want to use it on my cheeks if I want to. I don't want golden greasy looking cheeks.
Only disappointing sleek product till date. But I'm not giving up on them, I want to get the Flamingo and the Pomegranate blushers.
I will try different application techniques and I will update my review if I find that it actually works.

I have a hate/love thing with this product. I love the package and the color, and altough it's not very pigmented I don't mind because it's a blush and I don't want to look like a clown. But on the other hand, because it's not very pigmented you have to work it to show up some color, and I find the package really hard to open. It looks very good with my skin type and it has some shimmer, but it's not something crazy. Dupe for nars orgasm

This blush is really pretty. It's definitely not a dupe of Nars Orgasm, it's much more cool toned and pink, where Orgasm is much more peachy pink. If you're a fan of Nars' blush texture though, this is nearly identical. This color is really unique to my collection, as it shows up on my skin as a cooler pink on my cheeks, but with a warm golden sheen. I love it for that reason, but calling it an "Orgasm dupe" just isn't accurate. I love the packaging, it's sleek (hah, get it?), matte black, and includes a mirror. I actually like the packaging better than Nars, since it's not that sticky texture that eyeshadow and grime loves to cling to.

Love this blush so much! I own the Pomegranate Sleek Blush, which is a little too dark for my skin tone, so I picked this up as well. The price is fab, it's under a fiver, which is very good for a cheap blush. The packaging is nice and sleek (no pun intended), and it comes with a little compact mirror. The colour is so so beautiful. It's a light dusty pink with little specks of gold, and it looks so gorgeous when it's on, it gives a lovely natural flush, and it is so pigmented, you only need a small amount. In short, this is probably my favourite blush, and I would highly recommend to anyone!

i like it so much and I takeout one lippie because of its staying power ! it doesn't last for more than 2-3 hours until I need to reapply it
but as for it is cheap price and good quality it does worth it plus that it is the exact dupe for nars orgasm and it has the same gold sheen to it
so I recommend buying it if u r interested in that color

I bought this instead of NARS Orgasm as I'd heard so many good things about it. I love the way it looks on my skin and it blends well with my soft and gentle highlight from MAC. It gives a beautiful summery glow to the skin but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like blushes with shimmer in as it's very shimmery! I was pleasantly surprised by just how good this blush is and the packaging looks so expensive and it has it's own mirror and compact which I love! All of the sleek blushes are such good quality and value for money. Definitely worth a purchase!
