Someone you know is about to pass away. Will they enter delight or horror? Many people spend more time planning for a vacation than preparing for eternity. Perhaps it doesn't seem real that we will still exist-fully conscious and alive-beyond the grave. But it's true, and it calls for careful consideration. In this updated edition of "One Minute After You Die," bestselling author Erwin Lutzer urges readers to study what the Bible says on this critical subject. Topics include:
With 500,000 copies in print, this classic work makes an encouraging gift for believers and a tasteful word of caution for the undecided.

Combine results: Best athletesposted: Friday, June 16, 2006 | Feedback | Print Entry
While the height and weight measurements from the NBA predraft camp are interesting and relevant, NBA GMs and scouts also spend a lot of time dissecting the results of the NBA physical combine.
Last year Joey Graham (Raptors) rated as the top athlete in the draft, boosting his draft stock. Rashad McCants (Timberwolves) and Luther Head (Rockets) also finished in the top 10 and saw a nice little bump to their stock, too.
Players are asked to bench press 185 pounds as many times as they can, test their vertical jump two ways (no step and maximum) and run several drills to measure speed and lateral quickness.
For the fourth straight year Insider has obtained this confidential report from a league source.
North Carolina's David Noel tested as the top athlete in the draft. He was followed by Arkansas' Ronnie Brewer, Louisiana Lafayette's Dwyane Mitchell, Michigan's Daniel Horton, Memphis' Rodney Carney, Villanova's Randy Foye, Louisville's Taquan Dean, Georgetown's Brandon Bowman, Maryland's Nik Caner-Medley and UNLV's Louis Amundson.
St. Louis' Ian Vouyoukas, Denver's Yemi Nicholson, Bradley's Patrick O'Bryant, Oklahoma State's Frans Steyn and Texas' Brad Buckman tested as the worst athletes in the draft.
UCLA's Jordan Farmar shocked everyone by recording the biggest maximum vertical with a whopping 42 inches. Five other players jumped 40 or more inches in the maximum vertical jump: Mitchell (41.5), Brewer (41), UConn's Rudy Gay (40.5), Washington's Brandon Roy (40.5) and Iowa State's Will Blalock (40). Nicholson (26) and UConn's Marcus Williams (28) had the two worst scores in the camp.
Hartford's Kenny Adeleke and Gonzaga's J.P. Batista tested as the strongest athletes in the camp. They both bench pressed a 185-pound bar 26 times. Three other players got the bar up 20 or more times: Duke's Shelden Williams (25), Bowman (24) and Cincinnati's Eric Hicks (20). Memphis' Shawne Williams tested the worst with zero reps.
In the lane agility testing, Horton had the best score, finishing the drill in 10.35 seconds. Foye and Dean tied for second at 10.53 seconds. Noel and Illinois' James Augustine (10.54) also tested very fast. Nicholson had the worst score (13.7 seconds).
In the three-quarter-court sprints, Carney led the way in a blinding 3.06 seconds. Noel (3.07), George Washington's Danilo Pinnock (3.08) and Charlotte's Curtis Withers (3.1) also tested well. Nicholson came in last again (3.72).
Here's a look at how the top players in the draft performed in every category:
Player Rank No step
vertical Max
vertical Bench
press Lane
agility Sprint
Maurice Ager 37 29.5 35 11 11.73 3.22
LaMarcus Aldridge 68 26.5 34 8 12.02 3.43
Hilton Armstrong 67 28.5 31.5 13 12.28 3.53
Ronnie Brewer 2 35 41 19 11.32 3.14
Rodney Carney 5 32 38.5 10 10.57 3.06
Mardy Collins 33 31.5 37.5 9 12 3.27
Jordan Farmar 12 33.5 42 11 11.07 3.17
Randy Foye 6 32 38 14 10.53 3.23
Rudy Gay 26 33 40.5 9 11.03 3.32
Aaron Gray 75 26.5 30.5 17 12.63 3.71
Adam Morrison 59 25.5 30.5 11 11.46 3.37
Patrick O'Bryant 79 26.5 30 13 12.68 3.63
J.J. Redick 51 27.5 33 6 10.94 3.29
Brandon Roy 30 34 40.5 6 11.13 3.27
Saer Sene 72 28.5 31 7 12.52 3.38
Cedric Simmons 20 30.5 35 15 11.05 3.31
Tyrus Thomas 21 34 39.5 8 11.36 3.2
Marcus Williams 73 24.5 28 4 11.3 3.4
Shawne Williams 57 32 31 0 10.69 3.3
Shelden Williams 31 29 33.25 25 11.53 3.59
Analysis: The big winner here is obviously Brewer, who tested much better than expected in the vertical jump and strength categories. Combine that with his excellent measurements, and it looks like Brewer could move up in the draft. You don't find that combination of size, strength and athleticism in a guard very often. His so-so lane agility test was the only thing that hurt him, but given his size the score isn't bad.
Farmar also should get a big boost from his combine results. No one -- and I mean no one -- expected him to top out the vertical jump testing. He also tested well in the strength department. His speed scores were a little on the average side for a point guard, but given the type of game that he plays, this was a win for Farmar.
People have been saying Foye is a poor man's Dwyane Wade. How does the tale of the tape between the two compare athletically? Here's a look at Foye compared to Wade's 2003 testing:
Height Weight Wingspan Standing
reach Max vert Bench Lane agility Sprint
Wade 6-5 212 6' 10¾" 8' 6" 35 9 10.56 3.08
Foye 6-3½ 212 6' 6¼" 8' 1" 38 14 10.53 3.23
Wade is considerably bigger when you add wingspan and standing reach to the equation. Foye jumps higher and is stronger. Both have similar lateral quickness, but where Wade really shines is in the sprint. That score would've been good for third place in this draft class.
Gay, Thomas and Carney have been billed as the best athletes in the draft, and their scores certainly verified that. What was a little more surprising was Roy. He's been billed as an average athlete, but he tested better than expected -- especially his 40.5-inch vertical.
As we reported earlier, Redick tested better than you'd think in just about every category except strength. He is by no means a great athlete, but he's not a bad one, either.
Five top players really took a huge hit in the testing.
Marcus Williams tested dead last among all guards in the draft. Guys like Gerry McNamara, Carl Krauser and even Mardy Collins tested better. When several GMs called him a below-average NBA athlete, they weren't kidding.
Collins didn't fare so well himself. The lane agility score of 12 seconds is awful for a guy trying to play guard.
O'Bryant also tested poorly for a guy who looks so athletic out there. He tested as the 18th-best center at his position. That's not good. His vertical jump, lane agility and sprint were all poor. That was a major surprise.
Texas' LaMarcus Aldridge is athletic but he pales in comparison to LSU's Tyrus Thomas in almost every category. Aldridge ended up being ranked 28th out of 33 power forwards in the draft.
Gonzaga's Adam Morrison also didn't do anything to dispel talk that he's not a great athlete. Only one true small forward, Marquette's Steve Novak, tested worse. The only thing that saved Morrison from sinking to last place was a good showing in the bench press.
One note: A number of potential first-rounders were either not invited to the combine or were unable to attend, so we don't have their scores. They include Italy's Andrea Bargnani, Kentucky's Rajon Rondo, Villanova's Kyle Lowry, Michigan State's Shannon Brown, Switzerland's Thabo Sefolosha, Ukraine's Olexsiy Pecherov, Florida State's Alexander Johnson, Miami's Guillermo Diaz, Rutgers' Quincy Douby, Cincinnati's James White, UConn's Josh Boone, Colorado's Richard Roby and Texas' Daniel Gibson.

When people think about certified nurse-midwives (CNMs), they often think about childbirth.
CNMs do deliver babies and believe childbirth is a natural, empowering process for women.
MaineGeneral's certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice nurses with advanced education in women's health care and midwifery. Their care focuses on health promotion, education and disease prevention.
CNMs seek to prevent problems and help women make informed decisions about their health care so they develop and maintain good health habits for a lifetime.
As with other health care professionals, CNMs must pass a national certification examination, are held to rigorous standards of practice set by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) and the state in which they practice.
They also are required to take ongoing classes to maintain their certification.
Certified nurse-midwives work in many health care practice settings, including hospitals, private practices and clinics.
They manage their patients independently and collaborate with physicians as needed.
They can prescribe medications in most states, including Maine, and their services are covered by insurance, Medicare and MaineCare.

This hotel is not significantly cheaper than others, but it did not provide breakfast OR clean towel service, and their check-out time is an hour earlier than every other hotel. There were paint and ladders blocking the single hallway, and the staff was mostly concerned about telling us what not to do. There's no way to get to the 2nd-floor office without calling them from a dirty, busy street (what would you do without a cell phone?!). I will not return & will NOT recommend it to friends.

Hmm, people, the other white meat.
No doubt she tells her boyfriends "You are just so adorable I could eat you up!" too…
Eating bacon could make you a cannibal… if you are already a pig!
So her talking about the possibility of beginning to get a liking for the taste of "long pig" is simply a ploy to get Donna's bacon.
You beat me to the punch! I was thinking that it was just a ploy to get more bacon!
Yeach, forgot all about that ' ' term. Now the images remembered from finding out about it……need – brain – wipe.
Long pig; pig. Not too different in taste….
If this were in color, I think Donna would be green.
Yes, long pig, the other white meat. Some say that cannibals gain strength an longevity from their familiar provender. See the film "Ravenous" about that. Also that once you do no other food will fill that space you made with human flesh. I heard it smells like bacon from those who have been in places where that was going on. Not like the burnt oven smell from the Death Camps of the Germans though.
Yes, Long Pig, A word I could not dredge up up when I made that post. Lots of stories about it. Still the thought creeps me out.

Iloilo scuttles Indonesia
Muntinlupa nine rips Saipan, but two PH teams fall
CLARK FREEPORT—Two Philippine teams launched their 2013 Little League Asia Pacific and Middle East Tournament campaign with emphatic victories yesterday at the Clark Parade Grounds here.
Relying on the superb pitching of Royeve Palma, Iloilo dumped Indonesia, 23-0, in just four and a half innings to gain a headstart in their best-of-five series for the girls' 11-12 Major League softball title.
Seeing action in the 50/70 intermediate division (50 feet from pitcher's mound to homeplate, 70 feet in between bases—Ed), Muntinlupa crushed Saipan, 16-3, to join Japan on top of the four-team baseball event played for the first time in the tournament.
Two teams from Tanauan, however, absorbed one-sided setbacks in the boys' Little League and Senior League competitions.
Indonesia, a team powered by Japanese expatriates, blasted Tanauan, 10-0, in the centerpiece 11-12 tournament. Over at Field 3, Tanauan's 15-16 baseball team fell in a 0-21 ambush to favorite Chinese-Taipei.
Palma, who struck out a tournament-high 38 batters in the Philippine Series, seemed on her way to replicating the feat with nine strikeouts against Indonesia.
Iloilo got off to a scintillating start, scoring five runs on two hits and an error. All told, Iloilo peppered Indonesia with 12 hits to zoom ahead, 18-0.
"I'm not surprised with the result because we have the No. 1 pitcher here," said Iloilo coach Reynaldo "Guy" Fuentes, who steered Bacolod to the 2003 Junior League World Series crown in Kirkland, Washington.
In a tremendous display of firepower, Muntinlupa pummeled Saipan with 10 runs in the first inning, highlighted by a grand slam home run from Luis Benedicto, who was one of five pitchers used by coach Joel Palanog. Muntinlupa scored three more runs to take the fight out of the visitors.
With the victory, the Philippines joined Japan on top after the Japanese overwhelmed Guam, 13-1, in an earlier match.
Tanauan got a reality check from the Indonesians, who took a 4-0 lead at the end of the first inning after a two-run homer by Ega Alexander off Marty Ranada.
"We were surprised with this Indonesian team because we're used to beating them," said coach Romar Landicho, whose team conceded six more runs in the fourth inning.
Meanwhile, World Series Big League Softball champion Manila South kicks off its campaign against Guam today at the start of round-robin play in the three-team event.
The weeklong event is backed by Clark Development Corp, the Philippine Sports Commission and KFC.

I don't have the heatex on mine, I seem to get enough heat without it. I have a damper and I do get backdraft problems occasionally. The guy in the fishboat in front of me had this problem and Dickinson told him to add a length of pipe and although it helped a great deal, he still has problems in higher winds 20+ knot but it's usually difficult to increase the length of the stack on a sailboat. I have the DP style exhaust cap and I'm thinking about cutting a short piece of SS flue pipe about 5" high and 8" in diameter and install that around the cap using spacers to hold it in place and hopefully this stops the wind from hitting the vent slots directly.

A Colorful New Look
June 28, 2011
- Date acquired: June 21, 2011
- Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 217134583, 217134599, 217134579
- Image ID: 407077, 407081, 407076
- Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS)
- WAC filters: 9 (1000 nanometers), 7 (750 nanometers), 6 (430 nanometers) as red-green-blue.
- Center Latitude: -32.68°
- Center Longitude: 221.4° E
- Resolution: 1806 meters/pixel
- Scale: Basho, the dark-rimmed crater at far left, is 74 km (46 mi.) in diameter.
- Incidence Angle: 51.4°
- Emission Angle: 0.6°
Of Interest: This color image reveals two of Mercury's named craters, Basho and Bartok. Basho is the dark-rimmed crater to the far left of the image, and Bartok is the bright yellow crater approximately in the center. Both craters have visible central peaks, but Bartok's peaks appear blue in this image, indicating they may be made of a different material that was unearthed by the large force of the impact.
This image was acquired as part of MDIS's color base map. The color base map is composed of WAC images taken through eight different narrow-band color filters and will cover more than 90% of Mercury's surface with an average resolution of 1 kilometer/pixel (0.6 miles/pixel). The highest-quality color images are obtained for Mercury's surface when both the spacecraft and the Sun are overhead, so these images typically are taken with viewing conditions of low incidence and emission angles.
The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. Visit the Why Mercury? section of this website to learn more about the key science questions that the MESSENGER mission is addressing. During the one-year primary mission, MDIS is scheduled to acquire more than 75,000 images in support of MESSENGER's science goals.

`We are keen on making Internet easily available to rail passengers'
Bangalore: Rail passengers can now stay connected while on the move. Tata Group company Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) has opened a cyber café at the Bangalore city railway station that provides user-friendly public Internet access points.
VSNL has clinched the franchisee rights for running of cyber café at 68 major railway stations across the country to implement a proposal outlined by Railway Minister Lalu Prasad in the 2006-07 Railway Budget.
The company, which pioneered Internet services in India, will now create user-friendly public Internet access points for customers at railway stations.
The unique feature of these cyber café will be that all Tata Indicom dial-up Internet and broadband subscribers can use this facility by using their existing accounts. Each of these cyber cafes will be equipped with 10-20 high-end multimedia PCs with flat panel monitors and will be open 24 hours. Travellers can now avail Internet browsing and gaming facilities at affordable rates. The company also plans to offer other value-added services like printing, scanning, mobile charging and CD writing through these café. Passengers can also use the cyber café for making onward bookings, checking their bank statements, tracking their investment portfolio and making ISD calls at affordable prices.
Tata Indicom will also create select areas at the railway station that are Wi Fi enabled, allowing passengers to experience the Internet on their laptop or Wi-Fi enabled PDAs at blazing speeds, thus meeting the growing needs of the people to be connected-anytime and anywhere.
The first such cyber café was inaugurated at the Bangalore railway station by Shashi Kalathil, president, Broadband and Retail Business, VSNL.
"This effort will enable VSNL implement the promise made in the Railway budget of setting up such cyber cafes across leading railway stations in the country. We are keen on making Internet easily available so that passengers can stay connected even while on the move," Kalathil said on the occasion.
VSNL plans to make all the 68 cyber cafés operational in the next few weeks.

Aga won't let his good reputation go to waste
Aga Muhlach remains unfazed by detractors who are questioning his having registered as a voter in Camarines Sur.
They insist that he has no ties to the district. "That [talk is] obviously politically motivated," says Aga. "They have a right to file a case but it's also my right to register there as a voter. I bought property in Cam Sur in 2011. When Charlene and I are not working, we go home there."
When the actor announced his bid for a congressional seat in the 4th district of the province, some quarters promptly started Aga-bashing. But he doesn't let that dampen his enthusiasm. "It's my turn to give something back to the people who put me where I am now."
Isn't he worried that politics might ruin him? He explains: "I worked very hard for 28 years in show biz to build my name. I won't let it all go to waste now."
I know that Aga gives himself fully to everything he does. When his heart is in it, the sky's the limit!
Win some, lose some
Derek Ramsay is open to the idea of working with his ex Angelica Panganiban
and her new inspiration John Lloyd Cruz.
"It would be interesting to do a movie with Angelica now that we're no longer a couple," says Derek. "The dynamics will be different."
Doesn't he regret that his role in "The Mistress" was given to Lloydie instead? "You win some, you lose some," Derek quips. "It's an honor for me that he's the one who took my place. He gave justice to the role."
Is he willing to watch the coming movie of JL and Angelica? "Of course," he says. "I wont miss it." He is busy shooting "The Secret Affair" with Anne Curtis. He gushes: "It's steamier
than 'No Other Woman,' so the audience had better brace themselves." Watch and yearn!
Kudos to Quizons
Kudos to the wonderful Quizon clan for uniting the three top networks—ABS-CBN, GMA 7 and TV5—for the tribute concert to Tito Dolphy, "Alay Tawa," on Wednesday night. It was
heartwarming to see Kapamilya, Kapuso and Kapatid stars perform together. For the love of the King of Comedy, the network war went on cease-fire mode.
"This was what Daddy always wanted," Vandolph tells us, beaming. "He didn't like fights. He wanted the industry to be one big happy family." That's the true spirit of the great Pidol, all for one, one for all!
LT feels new
Lorna Tolentino is raving about the stem cell treatment she had abroad. "My back pains are gone," she exclaims. "I feel younger and energized. I'm so blessed because I got my treatment for free." No wonder she doesn't look like a grandma at all to her son Rap's firstborn, Tori. "I feel like I'm back in the '80s taking care of Rap, cause Tori is his carbon copy. I enjoy being a lola."
LT is loving La Vida Lola!

Looking for a new racket
Hey guys! I am looking for some advise on a new racket to purchase. My current racket choice is a mix of my Pure Drive Roddick GT (2009) and my Yonex RDIS 200. Now some pros and cons on both: The pure drive is my favorite of the two I love the power it has, the spin and how it doesnt really get pushed around when hitting against heavy hitters, however it has bugged my elbow and shoulder in the past (probably a combination of my form and the racket) and it at times has a little too much power to it. Now the RDIS I thought would be the perfect replacement for the pure drive with similar specs other than the stiffness however I don't feel as complete with it, I don't know how to explain it exactly but when playing with it then switching to the pure drive I immediately can tell that my playing is better with the pure drive, it is a good racket and I play well with it but I can tell that the pure drive works better for me than the RDIS does.
Now about me: I am 6'7", 195lbs, I use a semi western grip, 2 handed backhand, My best shot is my forehand and volleys with my backhand being a weakness, my serve while powerful is streaky at times so it is somewhere in the middle.
I was looking at different rackets that could suit me and here is the list I came up with:
Head Extreme Pro 2.0
Head Radical Pro
Babolat Pure Drive 2012 (if it really is softer?)
Wilson Juice 100
Wilson Blade 98 16x19
If anyone has feedback id greatly appreciate it thank you :):):)
Juice 100 give me a tinning feel in my elbow. No racquet has ever done that.
Well, that's the trade-off with stiff Babs. Totally diff. stick but have you ever tried a Prestige Mid? or Mid+.
The mid made the two hander much easier for me. The one I demo'd was very flexy. Wondering if you might like something like this?
I put the juice on the list because it sounded like a softer pure drive but I guess not... and I have actually tried the mid+ and I liked it quite a bit actually especially since I hit my backhand flatter however it didn't seem to fit my forehand quite right, I just didn't have the confidence that I normally do in it. But I have not tried the mid, if you have any input id be happy to hear it, I have a k90 so I have some experience with a mid frame
I also am considering the head instinct but I would need to add weight I think in order to bring it up to a reasonable spec for me (between 11.5-11.9oz)
the remaining 3 are similar and you will have to demo to see which you prefer.
you seem to like power and all 3 of those have lots of pop. The Rad Pro is VERY flexy and has a high swingweight. I would try the Ex Pro and Blade 98 1st. Both excellent choices.
Jack, I actually tried the radical pro which is why it is on my list, it had many of the characteristics of a pure drive in a flexier package. How do the blade and extreme compare in your opinion? Thanks!
The Extreme Pro was a little too heavy IMO. Seriously though...these 3 stick are so similar you need to just demo them to see which you prefer. My pick would be the Blade.
Ok thank you for the input jack and the help narrowing it down! :)
A couple of the killers I've coached have successfully switched from PD's into BLX Blade 98's - not exactly the same as your situation, but I also think that the Blades are a possibility.
I string for a very strong player who uses those PD Roddicks and he came down with serious TE after switching into poly hybrids in his frames. After healing up, he kept the racquets and switched over to 16 ga. VS Touch (nat'l gut) tensioned at 61 or 62 lbs. and has been 100% healthy in the elbow ever since. Just a thought.
I've been supremely comfortable with my Volkl C10's, but they might not be what you're looking for in terms of heft and performance. Volkl does have a couple of newer "10 Series" options though, and one of the Organix 10's could be worth a look.
Well pulled the trigger on the blx 98 pink (yes a little girly but it saved me $70 vs the gold) and will get the new version within a week as well to use as my main stick thanks for the input everyone :)
Coming from the pure drive roddick, I would try the extreme pro 2.0 first. Also a stiff racquet but is more comfortable than the pure drive. Has nice solidity and controllable power. The head shape gives a great spin window. Ugly PJ though. Better than the juice but that's like saying someone is uglier than Katherine Webb. Especially if you are Brent musburger.
the blade is a good stick. the pink makes it better!
My recommendations:
Formula 100
Pro one
IG radical pro
Good to hear you're alive and well in Texas.
Any racket the big guys use, mostly soft and friendly, mid to mid+.
You still in high school? How's your game lately?

"Has there ever been a better reason to shop?" asks an ad for the Product RED American Express card, telling members who use the card that buying "cappuccinos or cashmere" will help to fight AIDS in Africa. Cofounded in 2006 by the rock star Bono, Product RED has been a particularly successful example of a new trend in celebrity-driven international aid and development, one explicitly linked to commerce, not philanthropy. In Brand Aid: Shopping Well to Save the World (University of Minnesota Press, March 2011), Lisa Ann Richey and Stefano Ponte offer a deeply informed and stinging critique of "compassionate consumption."
The book examines the rise of a new modality of development financing: 'Brand Aid'. In Brand Aid, celebrities ask consumers to 'do good' by buying particular brands to solve a development problem. Brand Aid is 'aid to brands' because it helps sell branded products and improve a brand's ethical profile and value. It is also 'brands that provide aid' because a proportion of the profit or sales is devoted to helping distant others.
The Product (RED) initiative is the most advanced manifestation of Brand Aid to date. With aid celebrity Bono acting as the emotional sovereign, RED sells both the suffering of Africans with AIDS, and our power to ameliorate it, as effectively as selling computers, greeting cards or lattes. Companies such as American Express, Gap, Converse and Armani become the faces of ethical intervention in the world. Consumers are encouraged to do good by dressing well while part of the money they spend goes to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. RED provides a new mechanism for development finance that weds hard commerce with help, consumers with celebrities, and doctors with rockers.
Lisa Ann Richey is a professor of of Development Studies at the Institute for Society and Globalisation, Roskilde University in Denmark. Stefano Ponte is a Senior Researcher of Global Economy, Regulation and Development at the Danish Institute for International Studies.
Richey's primary research interests lie in international aid politics with particular attention to AIDS, reproductive health, and development technologies. Among other works, she is also the author of Population Politics and Development: From the Policies to the Clinics (2008) and the editor, with Frances Vavrus, of Women and Development: Rethinking Policy and Reconceptualizing Practice, a special issue of Women's Studies Quarterly (2003).
Ponte works with issues of international political economy and convention theory, with a specific emphasis on corporate and celebrity strategies as well as Africa and agro-food value chains. He is the co-author of Trading Down: Africa, Value Chains and the Global Economy (2005) and The Coffee Paradox: Global Markets, Commodity Trade and the Elusive Promise of Development (2005). He is also the co-editor of "Governing Global Value Chains," a special issue of Economy and Society (2008), and the author of Farmers and Markets in Tanzania: How Market Reforms Affect Rural Livelihoods in Africa (2002).

HAMLET — A woman has been arrested and a man is wanted in connection with a fraud case involving bad checks.
Hamlet police say Anquilla Douglas, 34, went into the city's BB&T branch and cashed several checks written to her by Anthony Jamison, 33, of Rockingham, totaling more than $1,500.
Police say both parties knew the checks were "no good."
Douglas was arrested Wednesday night and jailed under a $10,000 secured bond.
Police say Jamison has not yet been apprehended but a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Both Douglas and Jamison are charged with four counts each of obtaining money or property by false pretenses and conspiracy to obtain property by false pretenses.
Court records show Douglas has a pending charge of failing to return rented property where purchase is an option in Cumberland County.
Jamison was arrested earlier this month in connection with a scheme to sell stolen cars to a local salvage yard with Roneah Monet Douglas.
According to court records, Jamison is currently facing five counts each of larceny of a motor vehicle and obtaining property by false pretenses, in addition to charges of assault on a female, second-degree trespassing and misdemeanor larceny.
N.C. Department of Public Safety records show Jamison has spent more than five years behind bars on numerous felony charges dating back to 1999.

I think only Greeks would vote for Italy, as it seems more exciting to them than home! The meltemi (northerly winds) affects more the Aegean and not the Ionian. The water also stays warmer later in the Ionian, mid summer destinations are less crowded there, and between Corfu (Kerkyra) and Zakynthos (Zante) there are easy day trips from one place to the other. There is more moisture on that side of Greece, unlike the Aegean that you feel like you are in the middle of the Sahara and have an illusion of water around you. The mainland of Epirus is very interesting as well, full of little natural anchorages. Don;t miss Sivota, Parga, (Alonaki/Ormos Odyssea****), Preveza, the whole Amvrakikos gulf (most important wetland bird habitat in Europe protected by several treaties), Paleros (East of Lefkas), Mitikas, Astakos, Kastos, (this last strip between little islands and mainland will blow your mind and it is safe sailing for even 1st timers. The island destinations are well documented on the net, I emphasized the areas less advertised due to the lack of commercial activity (a good thing for most sailors

Sexual script theory implies that partners' ability to gauge one another's level of sexual satisfaction is a key factor in determining their own sexual satisfaction. However, relatively little research has examined how well partners gauge one another's sexual satisfaction and the factors that predict their accuracy. We hypothesized that the degree of bias in partner judgments of sexual satisfaction would be associated with quality of sexual communication. We further posited that emotion recognition would ameliorate the biases in judgment such that poor communicators with good emotion recognition would make less biased judgments of partner satisfaction. Participants were 84 married or cohabiting heterosexual couples who completed measures of their own and their partners' sexual satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, quality of communication about sexual issues within their relationships, and emotion recognition ability. Results indicated that both men and women tended to be accurate in perceiving their partners' levels of sexual satisfaction (i.e., partner perceptions were strongly correlated with self-reports). One sample t-tests indicated that men's perceptions of their partners' sexual satisfaction were biased such that they slightly underestimated their partners' levels of sexual satisfaction whereas women neither over- nor underestimated their partners' sexual satisfaction. However, the gender difference was not significant. Bias was attenuated by quality of sexual communication, which interacted with emotion recognition ability such that when sexual communication was good, there was no significant association between emotion recognition ability and bias, but when sexual communication was poor, better emotion recognition ability was associated with less bias.

New Findings Also Demonstrate Treatment Results in Improvements in Physical
Function and Health-Related Quality of Life
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- More than half of patients receiving every four week subcutaneous injections of golimumab (CNTO 148) 50 mg and 100 mg, an investigational therapy, experienced sustained improvements in the joint and skin symptoms of active psoriatic arthritis through six months with results sustained through one year. Golimumab-treated patients also experienced improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the placebo-controlled portion of the study (through week 24) along with the substantial improvements in physical function and arthritis and psoriasis components of the disease. These findings were presented at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) annual meeting.
"These results demonstrate long-term efficacy of every four week dosing with golimumab in improving physical symptoms and functional ability as well as improving quality of life," said Arthur Kavanaugh, M.D., Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, and lead study investigator. "The sustained effects of golimumab as demonstrated in these study findings are encouraging for both the physicians treating this condition and for the many patients living with this potentially debilitating disease."
In the study, Golimumab - A Randomized Evaluation of Safety and
Efficacy in Subjects with Psoriatic Arthritis Using a Human Anti-TNF
Monoclonal Antibody (GO-REVEAL), 52 percent and 61 percent of patients
receiving golimumab 50 mg and 100 mg, respectively, achieved at least 20
percent improvement in arthritis signs and symptoms as measured by American
College of Rheumatology (ACR 20) response compared with 12 percent of
patients receiving placebo (P < 0.001) at week 24. Through one year, 78
percent of patients continuing in the golimumab 50 mg group and 74 percent

Seagate begins rolling out 8TB 'customer development' HDDs
We thought these 8TB HDDs would be coming next year, but Seagate has started shipping out the first samples of its 8TB HDDs to its customers. The company hasn't provided any details on the innards of these new gigantic storage devices to its customers just yet.
Steve Luczo, Chairman and CEO of Seagate has said: "We have also delivered 8TB customer development units to major customers and cloud service providers and the initial customer feedback has been very positive". We don't know which method Seagate has used to construct the 8TB HDD, but we should see these hit the retail market sometime before the end of the year, or the beginning of 2015.
Panasonic rebrands OCZ SSD drives, enters the flash storage market
It looks like Panasonic is now a player in the SSD market, without much fanfare to be honest. The company looks to be re-branding OCZ drives, using OCZ's Indilinx Barefoot M10 controller.
The Panasonic-branded, OCZ-made drives were spotted in the famous Akihabara shopping district, with the new Panasonic Premium range of SSDs. These new SSDs come in retail packaging, including software and adapters to get them installed into desktop PCs. Panasonic is making its Premium SSDs available in three sizes: 120GB, 240GB and 480GB.
The new drives are based on OCZ's Indilinx Barefoot M10 controller, and should be using Toshiba's second-generation 19nm MLC NAND flash. These new drives are based on the SATA 6Gbps interface, with the performance side of things looking to match what OCZ has with its Vertex 460 SSDs.
HGST launches the world's largest 10K RPM HDD, a 2.5-inch 1.8TB drive
HGST has just unveiled its latest Ultrastar C10K1800, something the company is pegging as the world's highest capacity, highest performing 10K RPM HDD. The new drive is a 2.5-inch 1.8TB drive, that cranks along at 10,000 RPM.
The drive uses HGST's media cache architecture, which uses a portion of the platter as drive cache. This allows a massive 2.5X increase in random write performance, and a 23% improvement in sequential performance over previous generations of 2.5-inch 10K RPM HDDs. According to the company, this new Ultrastar C10K1800 is also more power efficient, with up to a 7% improvement in active and idle power savings.
HGST's new Ultrastar C10K1800 ships with the fast 12Gbps SAS interface, but even with 10K RPM under its belt, it won't make great use of that like an SSD or four will. It has a maximum sustained transfer rate of 247MB/sec on its 12Gbps bus.

Wendel Clark on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight
GS: What's the one perk about being the captain of an original six [NHL] team that we wouldn't know?
WC: It's probably the hugest honour because it's the team in Canada, the Toronto Maple Leafs and your peers allow you to be captain and you're a part of that room. The good thing is you're answering all the questions. The bad thing is you're answering all the questions. You can't take everything personally all the time like Dion Phaneuf, Toronto Maple Leaf's current captain] is going through sometimes where he takes things personally. He doesn't take it personal, but people think they're picking on Dion, but they're really not. The media and fans are going at it because he's the captain. So they're really picking on the team: "How come you're not being good enough?" The captain sometimes takes that heat. Also when you're winning, the captain gets raised to another level as well. So it's a double-edged sword when you're wearing a "C" on any of the original six.
GS: Do former captains call current captains and tell them that?
WC: No. You probably talk a lot without saying anything, that's kinda what the hockey thing is. Nobody sits down and you have these heartfelt conversations. But there's a lot of talk in general. That's how guys learn about each other and how they handle different things. You kind of watch people.
GS: You never want to call him and say, "Listen, I love it when you throw those big checks but try not to be out of position after you finish the check?
WC: No. One thing you do as an ex-hockey player is that you don't critique other ones unless you're in the media side of it. Because you understand what they're going through. Because when we played we all made mistakes and that was all part of it. As many good things happen, you're going to make lots of bad things happen.
Wendel Clark's interview with George airs on Monday, January 6, 2014 at 7 and 11:30 p.m. on CBC. Hockey fans will also want to tune into the show Thursday, January 9, 2014 when George interviews Stanley Cup winner and former Montreal Canadiens tough guy Chris Nilan.
What an outdated question and Phaneuf criticism by George.
wendel : counts his favourite player as Wendel Clark.and there was Dougie ,yea :)
@MapleLeafsHS @strombo Strombo needs a new gig before hes like the Canadian love child of Larry King and Oprah...

Pregnant women often look more beautiful simply because they are in a happy and relaxed frame of mind. The nine months are however a time of great physical and mental change. The best way to look beautiful and glowing through pregnancy is to treat it as a normal activity but maintain a little extra care and awareness and to adjust to these changes and deal with them successfully.
While most women know that their hands and feet can swell, they don't realise their eyes can swell as well. Pregnancy brings an increase in hormones that may cause changes in vision. In most cases, these are temporary eye conditions that will return to normal after delivery. As an expectant mother, one should be aware of vision changes during pregnancy and know what symptoms indicate a serious problem.
The power of your glasses can change during and after pregnancy, just like the size of your feet.
Contact lens intolerance may occur as a result of a change in corneal curvature, increased corneal thickness/edema, or change in the tear film. In any case, it is recommended that one should wait several weeks postpartum before prescribing a new refraction.
Contact lenses, contact lens solutions and enzymatic cleaners are safe to use during pregnancy. To reduce the irritation caused by a combination of dry eyes and contact lenses, try cleaning contact lenses with an enzymatic cleaner more often. Additionally, lubricating or re-wetting eye drops can be used. Puffiness and pigmentation around the eyes are common. Don't skimp on your water intake and stick to a moderate diet, low in sodium and caffeine. These healthy habits can help limit water retention and boost overall comfort.
For the image-conscious women of today — caution against LASIK. The reason for caution in pregnancy is because the refraction may be different due to hormonal changes. Also, there is the rare possibility that the response to the surgery might not be usual. This holds true while nursing too.
Vision problems during pregnancy sometimes may be a sign of other health problems. Blurred vision or seeing spots may indicate gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced hypertension. Eclampsia and pre-eclampsia, caused by extremely high blood pressure, can cause eye hemorrhages and retinal detachment. Those diabetic before pregnancy and those who develop gestational diabetes need to watch their vision closely. Blurred vision in such cases may indicate elevated blood sugar levels.
Experts recommend routine examinations by an eye doctor each trimester. Early treatment is key to the health of the mother and baby.

GEORGE TOWN: Even though Siti Hasnah Vangarama Abdullah, whose original name is S. Banggarma, has been married for eight years, she is still unable to register her marriage.
This is because she is listed as a Muslim while her husband is a Hindu.
The 27-year-old woman, who preferred to be known as Banggarma, said she has been practising Hinduism all this while although she was converted to Islam at the age of seven.
Banggarma said she and her three siblings were handed over to the Rumah Kanak Kanak Taman Bakti orphanage in Kepala Batas when she was about five by the Social Welfare Department after they were found wandering in the streets.
On Dec 28, 1989, she was converted to Islam before the Penang Kadi after she was taken to the kadi's office by officers from the state Muslim Welfare Organisation of Malaysia (Perkim) and Majlis Agama Islam Pulau Pinang.
Banggarma said she had no clear memory of the incident until she was 18 when she wanted to get married.
"I ran away from the home with my friends when I was 16 and did not take any documents with me.
"So, when I wanted to get married at 18, I went back to the home to collect my documents. I was given the Muslim conversion certificate," she said at a press conference called by Kedah PKR Youth deputy chief Gooi Hsiao Leung at his office here yesterday.
Her husband, S. Sockalingam, 31, a fisherman, said he had a shock when they went to the National Registration Department and found out that she is a Muslim.
"We couldn't register our marriage after our temple wedding in Tanjung Piandang in March 2001 since she was a Muslim," he said.
Banggarma said the column in her two children's birth certificate under the father's details stated "maklumat tidak diperolehi (information not available)".

Stage 11 will start in the tiny village of Vatan - population 2,000 - and symbolises a tribute to rural France. Vatan (pronounced 'Va-t'en', which means 'get lost') hosted a meeting of representatives of villages with similarly funny-sounding names last year - such as 'Montéton' ('my tit') or 'Trécon' ('Very stupid').
The peloton might not have a chance to laugh though, as the 192km-journey to Saint-Fargeau as the stage promises to be fast. The 2009 green jersey of best sprinter could be decided today!
Jonathan Vaughters' views
Another similar day of roly poly attacking action, but perhaps this day the break succeeds. I'd say a group of 12 or so get away, and on the final 4th category climb, 3 or 4 of them escape to contest the stage finish.
A day for the French, perhaps? Jerome Pineau or Perrick Fedrigo?
If the break comes back, which it may, another hotly contested sprint finish in which guys are pushing and poking for 2nd and 3rd too, as the race for the green jersey will be intense during these middle days.

That's what I said at my dad's funeral
from Eminem (Ft. Bizarre) – Amityville Lyrics on Genius
It looks like the person next to Bizarre at the urinal was yelling at him at first, but then we learn that it was Bizarre who yelled it at his dad's funeral. Like his collaborator, Bizarre has no problem calling his dad gay.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit Eminem (Ft. Bizarre) – Amityville Lyrics and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page
