PDI correspondent in Marinduque passes away at 38
SAN PEDRO, Laguna – Gerald Querubin, Inquirer Southern Luzon Bureau's correspondent of eight years in Marinduque, died Saturday due to heart failure, his family said. He was 38.
Querubin underwent an angiogram early in June in a hospital in Manila due to a congenital heart condition, his sister Shiela said in a telephone interview.
"He went to bed early last night (Friday) because he had a fever. But he would not wake up anymore this morning," Shiela said.
Querubin was rushed to the provincial hospital in Boac town but died on the way around at around 10 a.m., Shiela said.
Querubin, a Philosophy graduate from the University of the Philippines in Diliman, was an Inquirer correspondent since 2005 while teaching at the Marinduque State College and at the Sta. Cruz Institute in his hometown Sta. Cruz.
Known to his students as "Sir Toots," Querubin in 2004 formed the Marinduque Youth Volunteer, a civic organization.
His sister recalled seeing sacks of noodles and canned goods in their home that Querubin had collected for donations to poor families in their community and to disaster victims.
Querubin took a leave of absence from the Inquirer to run for councilor in his hometown in the May 2013 elections but lost. His father, Yolando Querubin Sr., was a former provincial board member.
Sheila believed her brother, the second in a brood of four, never married to take care of their parents in Sta. Cruz.
"He was never a burden to his family even in his death. He died very quietly and peacefully," Shiela said.
His remains now lie at his family home in Sta. Cruz.
Interment will be announced later as the family is still waiting for the arrival of a sister from Las Vegas, Shiela said.

Léogâne Things to Do
The Catholic church downtown in Leogane is more impressive from the outside, but the small Episcopal Church out by the highway is an amazing place. The windows are all cut iron-work of Biblical scenes. (see photos)
It is usually hot in Haiti and you walk into the church that is open but still somehow much cooler than outside and you are struck by the dim light, wooden benches and the sunlight streaming through the iron-work windows. It is the most peaceful place I know.
If you are there during the summer music camp, it will be filled with wonderful classical music. Truly a joy.Related to:

Update: Following the earthquake in January, 2010 there have been conflicting reports about the band shell (kiosk) in Leogane. Most reports say it has collapsed but one person reports it still standing. I'll update this when I get something diffinitive.
Ecole Ste. Trinite in Port-au-Prince holds a music camp in Leogane in the month of July. Each Sunday they give a concert that includes several orchestras and often the boy choir, the bell choir or the band. The top orchestra performs standard classical repertoire such as Schubert, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Beethoven and more modern composers. One of the specialties of the advanced group is Haitian classical music and this about the only place you can hear this music except for some rare recordings.
The concerts are in the kiosk and there are benches on the lawn but you may want to bring your own lawn chairs and a picnic to enjoy on the grass. The snack bar is available for drinks. It's a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, very friendly and family oriented.
Do telephone the Ecole Ste. Trinite in Port-au-Princel ahead of time to ask about the schedule.Related to:

Rock Hill Woman Takes the Skating Gold at Nationals
By Kristin Malone / Special to The Herald
Melissa Hall had one hour until her national competition. She practiced on her skates for 15 minutes, and her coach told her to keep practicing. But she said she was ready.
Hall, a 16-year veteran in artistic roller skating, wasn't lying. She won the medal to prove it.
The 21-year-old Rock Hill woman, a York Technical College student in early childhood development, took first place in the open women's loop event last month during the U.S. National Championships in roller figure skating in Lincoln, Neb. The championships included competitions in more than 100 individual and team events for men and women.
Hall is considered a skating veteran. Now that she's about to finish college, she needs to decide if she wants to continue her skating career or become a teaching assistant in Rock Hill schools.
"It is a hard decision, because I didn't place in last year's national competition, and this year I placed, so I'm obviously improving," Hall said. "But at the same time, I'm supposed to be focusing on getting a job and going into the real world."
Her parents, Patrick and Marilyn Hall of Rock Hill, don't think she will be able to quit skating.
"Skating is in her blood," Patrick Hall said. "She has put so much time and effort into skating, and it has finally paid off."
Since her junior year in high school, Hall has been commuting to Greensboro, N.C., where she trains with Tina Yow in the Piedmont Artisitic Roller Skating Club.
"The loop event is a very prestigious and tough event," Yow said, referring to Hall's performance. "Melissa knew what she wanted and what she was there to do."
When she was about 6, Hall began taking skating lessons from Butch and Minnie Specker at the former Roller Magic rink in Rock Hill.
"I learned how to do my figures, how to solo dance, and I began learning how to do loops," she said.
The loop event consists of a skater making three large circular patterns on the outskirts of a skating rink. Skaters trace these patterns by skating forward or backward around the designs.
Loops are the smaller circles with what looks to be a teardrop in the middle of the design. Like the figures, skaters must trace the loop pattern, including the teardrop, either forward or backward.
Dances performed in the skating rink can be solo, team, creative or free dance. Skaters can choose between dances such as the waltz or the tango when performing.
After the dance partners have chosen their type of dance and song, they must make sure they include five lifts in their routine. A lift is classified as a woman's hips going no higher than her partner's shoulders, Hall said.
At 12, Hall began training with Nekoe Buckner of Gastonia, N.C.
"I met Nekoe at a skate camp, and I felt she could take me to the next level," Hall said. "I was traveling to Gastonia four to five times a week for practice."
She noticed that her figures, solo dances and loop techniques were improving. She also performed her first creative solo dance routine to the song "Honey Bun."
Hall has been skating in the sophomore women's figures for ages 15 and older. In 2007, Hall flew through the regional competitions and performed at the nationals in Lincoln.
In this year's nationals, Hall also performed in the figure skating event and placed 12th. In the loop event, which she won, she competed against 35 women.
Yow believes Hall won't be able to give up her skating now.
"I don't think she will quit skating because she does it from the heart, and that makes the difference," Yow said. "She is a coach's dream."

"Praise God Anyhow!"
By Lou Coleman
I tell you we should all be like Habakkuk… Instead of standing staring in the face of his problem he backed off from the problem and he stood on solid ground. He gave up on what he didn't know and started remembering what he did know and instead of worrying about why things were going the way they were going, and why in the world God was allowing this and allowing that, he just stood back and said, "Now wait a minute, my God is an eternal God, He's a righteous God, He hates sin and He never does wrong, He always does right." Once he had established what he knew about God then it was much easier to cope with what he didn't know about the events around him.
Habakkuk's attitude was: God I don't understand everything; I don't understand why you let Israel go. I don't understand why you're bringing the Chaldeans to judge them. I don't understand why you're going to wait to judge the Chaldeans after that. I don't understand any of the things, but I know one thing God, You're the God that is righteous. You're the God that's eternal. You're the God that never makes a mistake. You're the God that hates sin. You're the God that never does anything wrong and I'll stand on that and praise you anyhow.
In Chapter 2, Habakkuk is standing in the midst of an absolute dilemma. He is afraid. He is afraid for himself, he's afraid for Israel. He can't seem to justify and rectify all the parts of the situation, though he understands that God who allowed the situation is always right. He's caught in a dilemma, but he does not ask for deliverance, he does not ask for personal escape, he does not ask for ease, he does not pray that God should spare Israel, he doesn't even pray that there would be no victory for the Chaldeans and that they would lose the battle, he doesn't pray that Jerusalem wouldn't be sacked, he doesn't pray any of these things because he knows in view of the kind of God that God is, God must judge. So he doesn't even bother with those things. What he does pray is this: that God will do His work and that God will have His way…. What a tremendous prayer. He knows how to pray, contrary to most of us. He knows what to pray for. He's not praying selfishly, he's not praying biased in favor of his flesh or his people. He is praying singularly that God's work come to fulfillment.
I tell you when you can arrive at that kind of position in prayer you have arrived. When you can look at the problems around you and the problems in your life and the problems in your world and say, "God I don't care about those things, all I care about God, that you be glorified." What a tremendous, tremendous prayer. Habakkuk had one thought in his mind and that was that God receive the due glory for doing His work. He says, God, if you've got to do it that way I want you to do it, revive your work in the midst of the years. His one desire was that things be right according to God's plan, not comfortable according to his desires. Not peaceful, not easy, not happy, just right like God would have them. He wanted things to be the way God wanted them, and if you want a New Testament equivalent to that kind of a prayer you'll find it in the prayer commonly called the Lord's Prayer, "Thy kingdom come."
Habakkuk had made a fantastic transformation from fear to fate. He started out shaking like a leaf in Chapter 1, but he come to the consciousness of faith in a God that he knows is doing right. Our prayer ought to sound something like Habakkuk's. We ought to be praying daily God be glorified in my life. God be glorified in my church. God be glorified in this world. That should be the cry and the prayer on the heart of every believer. Habakkuk had the right perspective. He had first things first. What really mattered to him were not the circumstances in the world around him, or his problems, although there were unbelievably bleak. The thing that really mattered to him was that God receive the glory. And that ought to be the thing that matters number one to us. Our concern should be the things of God that God's work is coming to its fulfillment. What a tremendous lesson here. What can a person do in a state of human weakness? What can you do when you're faced with all sorts of problems? Habakkuk said," I'm going to stand here and love God and just keep on loving Him and praising Him no matter what happens." Job said, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him."
Unless we see the big picture of what God is doing through the difficulties of life, the suffering, the pain, the iniquities, the injustices of life, we will miss the profound and foundational truth that God is using all of it for our ultimate good and His glory. So when all hell breaks loose in your world; when the worst comes to the worst; when everything is lost, step back from your problem, remember your God and start to rejoice with a holy joy based on love and adoration that nothing will ever touch. That you're His and He's yours and He cares for you and nothing will ever affect that in anyway. The sweetness of the spirit of Habakkuk. His problems were solved, not because he understood everything, but because he knew his God and he put his trust in Him. His circumstances caused him to shake, but his relationship to God was absolutely unshakeable. "Praise God Anyhow!"

IMF sees slightly stronger global growth for 2014
Published on Jan 21, 2014 10:48 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday that the global economic recovery is strengthening as countries move away from austerity budgets and financial systems improve.
The Fund increased its estimate for world growth this year slightly to 3.7 per cent, after 3.0 per cent in 2013, while warning that the rebound of the world economy is still "weak and uneven." It was the first time in nearly two years that the Fund revised its growth forecasts upward: rougher conditions than expected have forced repeated downgrades of its predictions.
"The basic reason behind the stronger recovery is that the brakes to the recovery are progressively being loosened," said IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard, in the Fund's newest assessment of the global economy.
"The drag from fiscal consolidation is diminishing. The financial system is slowly healing. Uncertainty is decreasing," he said.

I removed screws from the cover, then I removed the screws holding on the front panel. I then unplugged the connectors, and removed the front panel and broken door latch. Then all I needed to do was slide the new door latch in the spot where the broken one was and put it back together. The only thing to note is which way the yellow and white and the blue and white connectors are on the front plate (location and wire direction). All is working well, and I can open the door again. Needless to say I feel better about repairing the microwave rather then throwing it out getting another one and creating more electronic garbage in a landfill .

Yumi Media Comments on the Rise in People Choosing Flexitarianism, and Choosing to Only Occasionally Eat Meat
Following an article about how flexitarianism is becoming more and more popular, Yumi Media comments on the news with their comments.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) January 25, 2013
On January 25, 2013, Yumi Media commented on an article from The Telegraph by Sarah Rainy, regarding the increase in people choosing flexitarianism, instead of going full vegetarian.
According to the Telegraph article, we are about to see a change in the way vegetarianism is viewed, and welcome in flexitarianism, which means to follow a vegetarian diet, and allow yourself to sometimes eat meat.
According to Charles Banks, director of the Food People, "Twenty years ago, vegetarianism was scoffed at. But there has been a seismic shift in attitudes… We expect meat-free eating and flexitarianism soon to be a mega trend." The article defines a flexitarian as, a "flexible vegetarian," and someone who allows meat in their diet very sparingly.
The article mentions that the flexitarian trend is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. According to the article, "a survey by the Vegetarian Research Group found that 23 million people follow a "vegetarian-inclined diet", compared to 7.3 million full-time veggies." The Food People predict that by 2015, there will be a significant increase in flexitarians, due to the fact that cutting down on meat is easier on the wallet, and the body.
Yumi Media commends the ways of flexitarianism as a way of people to cut down on meat consumption. "We understand that vegetarianism is just not for everybody. For those who can not become full vegetarians but switched to flexitarianism, we commend you for cutting down on your meat consumption, said Yumi Media representative Takara Licausi. "For those flexitarian meat lovers, Quorn offers delicious meat substitutes that replicate the taste and texture of real meat."
Yumi Media is a food website devoted to delivering the latest and greatest in food news, recipes, and products to incorporate into your own healthy lifestyle. Launched in 2012, Yumi Media was founded by a group of friends as a way to explore their mutual love of food while sharing that love with the community at large. Whether you´re looking for something cutting-edge, comfort food like mom used to make or something in between, Yumi Media is your one-stop resource.

Hollowing Out the Middle
The Rural Brain Drain and What It Means for America

moreIn 2001, with funding from the MacArthur Foundation, sociologists Patrick J. Carr and Maria J. Kefalas moved to Iowa to understand the rural brain drain and the exodus of young people from America's countryside. They met and followed working-class "stayers"; ambitious and college-bound "achievers"; "seekers," who head off to war to see what the world beyond offers; and "returners," who eventually circle back to their hometowns. What surprised them most was that adults in the community were playing a pivotal part in the town's decline by pushing the best and brightest young people to leave.
In a timely, new afterword, Carr and Kefalas address the question "so what can be done to save our communities?" They profile the efforts of dedicated community leaders actively resisting the hollowing out of Middle America. These individuals have creatively engaged small town youth—stayers and returners, seekers and achievers—and have implemented a variety of programs to combat the rural brain drain. These stories of civic engagement will certainly inspire and encourage readers struggling to defend their communities.

Born in Concord, North Carolina, Pickens graduated from Jefferson College (now Washington & Jefferson College) in 1802, studied law and was admitted to the bar.
After serving as Governor, he was appointed to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy left by the death of Henry H. Chambers. He only served from February 17 to November 27, 1826, when the elected successor, John McKinley, took office.
In addition to politics, Pickens participated in the American Colonization Society and was interested in scientific research. He invented a lunar dial.
Pickens died in Matanzas, Cuba in 1827. He was originally buried in a family graveyard but his remains were later moved to City Cemetery, Greensboro, Alabama.[1]

Comedian Ron White's Moral Compass Tour Comes to UConn Tonight, 10/26
Comedian Ron "Tater Salad" White, best known as the cigar smoking, scotch drinking funnyman from the "Blue Collar Comedy" phenomenon, is stopping at Jorgensen as part of his national Moral Compass Tour, tonight, October 26, at 8:00 p.m. With two Grammy nominations, a Gold Record, three of the top rated one-hour specials in Comedy Central history, a book that appeared on the New York Times Best Seller List, and CD and DVD sales of over 10 Million units, Ron has established himself as a star in his own right.
White has always been a classic storyteller. His routines relay tales from his real life; ranging from growing up in a small town in Texas to joining the ranks of some of the most successful comedians in America.
After gaining momentum with his standup, White was asked to join Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy on the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour," in 2000. The tour played to sold-out audiences in over 90 cities and grossed over $35 million. The group toured for over three years, during which Warner Bros filmed the guys' stand-up, leading to the theatrical release of the film Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie in 2003. The film's premiere on Comedy Central still remains one of the highest rated movies in the channel's history.
Following on the heels of the success from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie, White released his breakthrough comedy CD "Drunk In Public" in November 2003 and soon followed up with his first one-hour TV comedy special "They Call Me Tater Salad." The special earned Comedy Central the highest rated Sunday in its history, and the show's DVDs and CDs have sold over 2.5 million copies to date.
In March 2006, White's second one-hour special "You Can't Fix Stupid" aired on Comedy Central to 4.5 million viewers, making it the third largest audience in Comedy Central's history and the number one show in primetime on basic cable. The CD quickly went to # 1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts, topping the charts for nine consecutive weeks and nabbing a Grammy nomination. Ron also received a second Grammy nomination for the CD "Blue Collar Comedy Tour - One for The Road." In June 2006, Penguin Books released Ron "Tater Salad" White: I Had the Right to Remain Silent…But I Didn't Have the Ability. Written in the same style as his comedy routines, Ron's authorial debut landed him on the New York Times Best Seller List.

Artist/writer Stuart Immonen (New Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man) will raffle off four sketches each day of the Phoenix Comicon (Phoenix AZ, May 24 – 27, 2012) to benefit the Hero Initiative. This is a rare opportunity to commission a sketch as Immonen famously declines requests as outlined in his book 50 Reasons to Stop Sketching at Conventions.
Press Release:
Hero Initiative, the non profit organization that helps comic creators in need, is spending its Memorial Day weekend at Phoenix Comic Con, May 24th thru 27th at the Phoenix Convention Center Hyatt Regency, booth #1048-1050.
Artist Stuart Immonen will be helping Hero out at the con! The artist of Marvel Comics' X-Men and Fear Itself will be at his own artist alley table, but sketching ONLY for Hero! Stuart will do four full-size 11-by-17-commission sketches per day. To get in in, you MUST purchase raffle tickets at $1 each. Four tickets per day will be drawn, and winners will pay $200 for a single-character, full-figure grey marker wash drawing. Drawings take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday at noon!
In addition, you MUST buy the Spawn/Lady Death Phoenix Con print with art by Andy Arias and inked by Todd McFarlane! Both McFarlane and Lady Death creator Brian Pulido will sign each print, limited to 250 serial-numbered pieces. All proceeds benefit Hero Initiative.
And go see John Layman! Layman, writer of the Image Comics hit Chew, has sat on both sides of the pitching process as an editor and as a creator. He'll be putting on a special panel Sunday, May 27 at 130 p.m. to tell you what it takes to develop a winning pitch for your comics and graphic novels! Tickets to this in-depth workshop and Q&A are available ONLY with a $25 donation to Hero Initiative. Seating is limited!

Author Greg Rucka signs at The Poisoned Pen Bookstore on Wednesday May 30, 2012 at 7:00pm!
About Alpha
For the visitors to Wilsonville, the largest theme park in the world, the day began with a smile. By the end, they wonder-will they be able to escape with their lives?
Retired Delta Force operator, Master Sergeant Jonathan "Jad" Bell, is Wilsonville's lead undercover security officer. The threat begins with the announcement of a hidden dirty bomb, but quickly becomes something far, far worse.
Trained since the age of seventeen to save innocent victims from impossible hostage situations, Jad scrambles to assess the threat and protect the visitors. He will come face to face with a villain whose training matches his in every way-and presents a threat Jad may not be able to stop.
Author Bio
Greg Rucka was born in San Francisco and raised on the Central Coast of California, in what is commonly referred to as 'Steinbeck Country.' He began his writing career in earnest at the age of 10 by winning a county-wide short-story contest, and hasn't let up since. He graduated from Vassar College with an A.B. in English, and from the University of Southern California's Master of Professional Writing program with an M.F.A.
He is the author of nearly a dozen novels, six featuring bodyguard Atticus Kodiak, and two featuring Tara Chace, the protagonist of his Queen & Country series. Additionally, he has penned several short-stories, countless comics, and the occasional non-fiction essay. In comics, he has had the opportunity to write stories featuring some of the world's best-known characters—Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman—as well as penning several creator-owned properties himself, such as Whiteout and Queen & Country, both published by Oni Press. His work has been optioned several times over, and his services are in high-demand in a variety of creative fields as a story-doctor and creative consultant.
Greg resides in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, author Jennifer Van Meter, and his two children. He thinks the biggest problem with the world is that people aren't paying enough attention.

MuSASHI RT HARC-PRO, with riders Leon Haslam, Michael van der Mark and Takumi Takahashi, took the top-step in the 2014 Suzuka 8-Hours World Endurance Race. Yoshimura Suzuki's Takuya Tsuda, Randy de Puniet and Josh Waters finished in second followed by Team Kagayama & Verity's Nori Haga, Yukio Kagayama and Dominique Aegerter rounding out the podium.
The start of the event was delayed by heavy rains, and precipitation continued to fall throughout the contest. The tricky conditions led a number of teams to crash during the race, including the Yoshimura Suzuki Legends team comprised of Kevin Schwantz, Nobuatsu Aoki and Satoshi Tsujimoto. Aoki was battling with Tsuda early on but hit the ground hard while attempting a pass on the eventual second-place finisher. The incident ended the Legends team's bid after just five laps.
Another crash of note happened to FCC TSR's Kosuke Akiyoshi, who broke his femur in the incident but still returned the CBR1000RR to the pit. Akiyoshi was leading at the time and the team was able to repair the bike for a return, with Jonathan Rea and Lorenzo Zanetti piloting the bike back to 40th before the finish.
At the front, the MuSASHI squad started to ascend the ranks halfway through the race, with Van der Mark slipping ahead of De Puniet for second-place. After Akiyoshi crashed out, MuSASHI took over the lead and built a gap of nearly one minute on the second-place finishers by the checkers.
"Amazing feeling," said Van der Mark. "I was ready for the third hour but it start raining and team decided to go with Takumi in the rain because he has more experience. The fourth hour was for me and I got faster and faster with a steady pace and rhythm. The bike worked perfect, the team did an amazing job. My last stint was at a really good pace and I could ride quite easily. To be here again in my second year is amazing feeling. We did it all together."
The Yoshimura Suzuki team had a late-race scare when the GSX-R's headlight started to fail during nightfall. The light finally switched on, however, and Waters pushed hard to close the gap in the final stages.
Monster Energy Yamaha's Katsuyuki Nakasuga, Broc Parkes and Josh Brookes finished in fourth, encountering technical issues mid-race which set the team back in the ranks. TOHO Racing with Moriwaki finished in fifth followed by Honda Suzuka Racing Team in sixth. Honda Team Asia took seventh followed by the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team in eighth. Yamaha Racing GMT 94 took ninth followed by Monster Energy Yamaha –YART in 10th.
Yamaha Racing GMT takes the World Endurance Championship points lead followed by the 2014 Round 1, Bol d'Or 24-Hours winners, SRC Kawasaki in second. Team Bollinger Switzerland is third in the standings trailed by MuSASHI in fourth and Team Motors Events April Moto in fifth.

House GOP may seek short-term debt limit extension
Neither is without potential political fallout.
In particular, Republicans paid a heavy political price for a pair of government shutdowns in the 1990s. Yet the economic impact of a brief interruption in some federal services appears far less daunting than the risk of an unprecedented default that could destabilize financial markets at a time the economy is remains short of full strength after the worst recession in decades.
One Republican, Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana, told reporters there had been several proposals in the private discussions to advance the Republican goal of cutting spending while renewing the government's borrowing authority.
Among them is a requirement for approval of a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution, a condition the Democratic-controlled Senate would almost certainly reject, or perhaps a watered-down requirement for a mere vote on an amendment.

Grandmother's Burst Breast Implant May Speed Rule Changes
March 20 (Bloomberg) -- Annie Mesnil survived cancer, only to have the implant that replaced her right breast leak industrial-grade gel into her body. Now European regulators are trying to figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Employees of the manufacturer of the faulty device, Poly Implant Prothese SA of France, have told police they used unapproved filler and deceived the company hired to certify quality control. French authorities pulled the devices from the market in 2010 and last year recommended that all PIP implants should be removed after a woman died in November.
Doctors and patients like Mesnil are pushing European Union regulators to revamp rules that leave medical-device makers in charge of checking the safety of their own products. The companies are required to hire outside contractors to certify quality controls and production systems before they can sell devices throughout the 27-nation bloc and in countries that recognize its standards. About 400,000 PIP implants were sold in nations including Australia, Brazil, Germany and the U.K.
"Our oversight system isn't adequate," Dominique Maraninchi, director general of Afssaps, France's health industry regulator, said in an interview. "It allowed a fraud of this size to take place for years. The system is based on certifying companies that check only what is presented to them. With PIP they were fooled, the health authorities were fooled."
What Went Wrong
Reports on what went wrong and how to avoid recurrences have started arriving as Afssaps works on a list of high-risk implants and how to better police their safety with a new surveillance system due later this year. Another report is due next month on the state of the silicone breast-implant industry, a decade after it was authorized in France, a spokeswoman for the agency said.
French health inspectors suspended PIP operations on March 29, 2010. The company filed for bankruptcy the next day and health authorities around the world were told of the deception.
"According to Afssaps, there was no reason to worry so much," Mesnil, a 62-year-old grandmother who had an implant in 2001 after treatments for breast cancer, said of the first alerts she saw in 2010. "They didn't speak of any danger certainly, just a little more frequent rupture rate."
As the police investigated and evidence emerged of the deception, Mesnil said she began worrying both about the safety of her implant and why complaints from surgeons in France, the high rupture rate, and the U.S. regulator's refusal to approve the devices didn't lead to greater scrutiny by Afssaps.
System Failure
"The system failed," said Christian Marinetti, a Marseille plastic surgeon who said his calls, e-mails and registered letters to Afssaps about PIP's high rupture rate went unanswered for years. The problem, he said, is "the checks assume the company is virtuous. No one ever could have imagined such a fraud."
In 14 percent of the women in France whose implants were removed, the device was found to have ruptured or leaked, officials said.
Afssaps, which uncovered the scam after a whistle-blower's alert, pledged in a report to reinforce oversight with surprise inspections, tests of devices taken during audits and from clinics, checks on how much manufacturers spend on raw materials, and a simpler, more efficient means for doctors to report concerns.
Afssaps also called for its recommendations to be applied EU-wide in the 170-page report to Health Minister Xavier Bertrand last month. Clinical trials should be required for devices to be approved and there should be follow-up tests after they're on the market, the French regulator said. Patients should be better informed of devices' risks before operations, and certification companies should be more exacting. Regulators within the EU and around the world should improve information-sharing and collaboration, Afssaps said.
Coordinating Oversight
At the EU level, Health Commissioner John Dalli ordered stress tests -- similar to those used to gauge banks' fiscal health -- to see how the regulatory system failed to detect PIP's deception. The results are expected by May so they can be incorporated into a new regulatory framework due out by June, said Frederic Vincent, a spokesman for Dalli.
"There are some propositions that are being discussed at the European Commission level, in order to coordinate how the oversight system should work and, going one step further, what the obligations should be in terms of in-depth clinical data gathering before risky devices are put on the market," Afssaps's Maraninchi said.
TUEV's Job
PIP hired TUEV Rheinland Holding AG, a German technical certification company, to audit the chain of production and quality-control measures, Olivier Gutkes, TUEV's Paris-based lawyer, said last month.
TUEV's job "isn't to check the final product," Gutkes said. "It's about avoiding having unsuitable products because of disorganization or production errors."
Jean-Claude Mas, 72, PIP's founder, began using industrial-grade silicone years ago, according to police, cutting the cost of the filling to as little as 5.10 euros ($6.67) a kilogram from the 41.54 euros a kilogram for the substance he claimed was used. He also used thinner casing, making ruptures and leaks more likely and heightening the risk posed by the cheaper silicone, never authorized for use inside people, said Marinetti, the surgeon.
Mas didn't return messages left on his mobile phone requesting comment. His lawyer, Yves Haddad, didn't respond to requests for comment by phone, e-mail and fax.
Unapproved Gel
Mas, who previously worked as a wine and cognac seller and spent 10 years with U.S. drugmaker Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., will stand trial for fraud with four former co-workers later this year or in early 2013. Police are investigating manslaughter claims made after the woman's death and allegations that PIP's bankruptcy was a sham.
Almost all PIP employees knew most devices were filled with an unapproved gel, which Mas always insisted was "better" than the authorized one, according to transcripts of police interviews with Mas and other workers seen by Bloomberg News.
PIP workers hid barrels of the unauthorized substitute in a separate warehouse and on a truck when TUEV certifiers visited for their annual audits, former employees told investigators, according to the transcripts. Another said he was asked to erase evidence of the unapproved substances from the computer system before the audits and to reintegrate the data afterwards.
Each year, after TUEV auditors left, workers celebrated with drinks, according to another former PIP employee.
TUEV has accused PIP of fraud and doctoring documents in its own complaint, and defended its conduct as complying with the existing rules "to the letter," said Gutkes. It hasn't and won't change its practices until those rules change, the TUEV lawyer said.
'No One Imagined'
"An unannounced audit is carried out only in one case: when the notified body has doubts about a fraud which can be substantiated," Gutkes said. "No one at TUEV ever imagined that the whole company was involved in covering up the fraud."
Mas himself repeatedly told police he felt "nothing" for women like Mesnil who found themselves in danger because of PIP's implants, saying the women who complained were "weak people" or "doing this just for the cash," according to the transcripts.
Mesnil heard similar comments at first, as people said "they should have stayed like they were, they didn't need to look like bimbos, like Barbie dolls." She sought an implant because it was difficult to look at the scarring left behind after her mastectomy.
Mesnil had scans done after she saw the Afssaps alert on the brand. While nothing showed up, she said she decided to replace the implant after hearing the manufacturer cut corners.
When she woke from surgery, her doctor said the implant had ruptured, leaking gel into her body. He'd tried to wash out as much as he could, though he couldn't be sure he got it all.
"It's gone somewhere," Mesnil said over coffee one February morning at her apartment in Malesherbes, south of Paris. "I can't get it out of my mind."

Boosting Your Battery's Life
One of the best ways to avoid winter car trouble woes is to ensure your car battery is in good working order. Here are some tips to help you prolong the life of your battery and give you years of trouble-free service.
- Check the water (electrolyte) level - make sure the level is not too low (it must cover the fluid plates) and, if necessary, top it up. Use distilled water only. Avoid overfilling and mop up any spillage. It's wise to check the levels monthly in summer because a high temperature under the bonnet can cause the water to vaporize or boil off.
- Keep the battery clean - clean the terminals regularly and remove with warm (not hot), soapy water any acid or dirt which may have accumulated on the battery case as this can cause the battery to self-discharge more rapidly.
- Secure the battery - make sure the battery is carefully secured and the hold-down clamps are tightened. Allowing it to move around or vibrate can cause premature battery failure.
- Charge the battery regularly - take a one-hour, daylight drive each week to help ensure the battery stays charged. This is especially important if you usually only drive short distances or take infrequent trips. Running the engine at idle or taking short (less than 30 minutes) stop-and-go trips is not sufficient to recharge the battery and can shorten its life.
- Turn off before you turn on - make sure the lights and other accessories (heater, rear-window defroster, radio, seat-warmers, windscreen wipers) are turned off before you start the car. In cold weather a fully-charged battery provides less than half of the power it does in warm weather, and switching on the lights and other accessories before you start the engine will drain the battery even further.
- Inspect the drive belts - check the belts for any signs of fraying or cracking. Also, they should flex no more than one-half inch. A loose alternator belt is a common cause of battery failure and ensuring it's correctly tightened could save you the inconvenience of a flat battery later.
- Service your car - poor engine condition can overload the battery, so ensuring your car is serviced regularly (as recommended by the manufacturer) will prolong the life of your battery.
- Check the battery's charge rate - undercharging and overcharging reduce battery life, so it's a good idea to ask your car dealership or repair workshop to check the charge rate when you have your car serviced.
If you experience a flat battery, call AA Battery Service on 0861 000 234 and our battery technicians will be sent to assist you. Remember, with AA Battery Service the winter chills needn't get you down

Computer software, or just software, is a collection of computer programs and related data that provide the instructions telling a computer what to do and how to do it. We can also say software refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of the computer for some purposes. In other words software is a set of programs, procedures, algorithms and its documentation. Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. The term was coined to contrast to the old term hardware (meaning physical devices). In contrast to hardware, software is intangible, meaning it "cannot be touched" (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Software)

One of my previous lecturers jokingly said that once you had a title, logo and an acronym for your project, 80% of the work was done. Except I'm not so sure she was joking, now. Ariadne took (relatively) little time to be decided on as a title, but as it turned out, many other projects around the world, and one in particular in the UK, shared this greek mythological name. This has caused problems; for example, lists of digital libraries/training projects occasionally get us mixed up with the Ariadne project at Lancaster. Dr. David Nichols from this Lancaster project gives a brief run-down of other projects that have taken the name Ariadne.

South Padre Island. Cancún. Daytona. Houston.
The Bayou City may not be known for over-the-top revelry during spring break, but if you're staying put with your family, you don't have to miss out on all the fun. The Houston area is loaded with activities and attractions for youngsters of all ages. Here are some ideas on where to take the kids while they're out of school. Check websites for hours and prices.
For the toddler and preschool set
Flicks for families: If you're home with an infant (many day cares also close for spring break), why not catch a movie? Alamo Drafthouse (drafthouse.com) offers Baby Day every Tuesday, when parents are invited to bring their little ones to the first showing of any movie. The lights are turned up and the sound is turned down to keep babies comfortable. For a special treat for your toddler, consider Breakfast and a Flick at Movie Tavern, which offers a full breakfast menu (pancakes, French toast, oatmeal, etc.) with its 9 a.m. show on Saturdays and Sundays. Or head to Studio Movie Grill (beta.studiomoviegrill.com), which will play "The Gruffalo" daily at 11 a.m. for just $2 a ticket. Other theaters also offer specials for children; check individual websites for details.
Into the wild: Imagine a playground that's three stories high and covers more than 7,500 square feet. That's what you'll find at Wonderwild (gowonderwild.com), a sprawling playzone for children 8 and younger that offers everything from an inflatable slide to a kid-powered train to a giant bounce floor. Socks are required at all times. Locations in the Heights and The Woodlands.
Lunch bunch: In addition to being a popular new happy-hour and dinner spot for grown-ups, Natachee's Supper 'n Punch goes out of its way to cater to youngsters. Kids' meals are served in vintage lunchboxes, and there's a sandbox out back that prompts lingering. 3622 Main; 713-524-7203.
For the elementary and middle school set
Under the sea: You don't have to trek to SeaWorld to explore the underwater world. Sea Center Texas (tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/seacenter) in Lake Jackson allows you to get close to a variety of sea life. Operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the center is filled with educational exhibits for all ages. Learn about native Texas habitats such as a salt marsh, jetty and reef; watch Cooper the grouper, large red drum and a moray eel in the Gulf aquarium; and go hands-on at the interactive touch tank. Admission is free. Closed Monday; fish feeding on Wednesday and Friday at 10:30 a.m.
Change in the weather: Ever wonder what it would be like to stand in front of a green screen and give the morning weather report? At the John C. Freeman Weather Museum (wxresearch.org/wpmuseum) you can do just that. Grab the microphone and report the latest update on a blizzard, hurricane or flood. You can take home a copy of your debut for $5. Other attractions include an exhibit on the various climates of the world; satellite and radar images of Gulf Coast hurricanes; and a tornado chamber that shows how a tornado is created.
Slip and slide: Schlitterbahn Galveston (schlitterbahn.com) is not just for summer fun. Its 70,000-square-foot heated indoor waterpark will be open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday through March 18. The climate-controlled attractions include three speed slides, four tube slides, a man-made surfing wave, the Torrent tidal wave river, three kids' activity areas, a hot tub and a secluded beach.
For teens and preteens
Macabre musings: Got a "True Blood" or "Twilight" fan in your household? Head to the National Museum of Funeral History (nmfh.org) to explore the largest collection of funeral-service artifacts in the country as well as exhibits on mourning rituals of ancient civilizations, the history of embalming and hearses through the ages. Other highlights include items used in the funerals of U.S. presidents and "fantasy coffins" in the shape of a chicken, a shallot and a Mercedes-Benz.
Roll with it: Roller skating with friends never gets old. Especially at Dairy Ashford Roller Rink (skatedarr.com), which has been welcoming visitors to its wide, smooth wood skating floor - complete with a high-tech digital sound and light system that features strobe lights and more than 3,000 songs - since 1974. During spring break, daily specials range from $1 drinks and popcorn to half-price admission to a toddler skate for ages 7 and younger.
At the drive-in: Think drive-in movie theaters are a thing of the past? Not in Hockley. The Showboat Drive-In (theshowboatdrivein.com), about 40 miles northwest of downtown Houston, continues to show double features of popular movies (recent flicks have included "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" and "The Vow"). Tickets are $5 for a double feature for adults; $4 for children 3-12 and free for babies. A concession stand offers burgers, candy and soda. The Showboat is open Wednesday-Sunday during spring break; cash only.

Roxbury 64, Margaretville 35
It was as if two different teams were alternating quarters for the Margaretville Central School Blue Devils last Wednesday night, when the visiting Roxbury Rockets defeated MCS on its home court, 64-35.
