TOKYO (ICIS)--Japan-based chemical producer Nippon Shokubai plans to invest yen (Y) 14.5bn ($188m) to increase its acrylic acid and acrylic acid special esters capacity in order to meet growing global demand, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
Nippon Shokubai will build an 80,000 tonne/year acrylic acid production facility at its Himeji plant in Japan's Hyogo prefecture, where the company currently produces 460,000 tonnes/year of acrylic acid, according to Nippon Shokubai.
The move is in response to an increase in global demand for acrylic acid and superabsorbent polymer (SAP), the company said.
The new facility, which will cost Y11bn, is scheduled to be completed at the end of May 2013 and is expected to come on stream in August 2013, according to Nippon Shokubai.
After August 2013, Nippon Shokubai's global acrylic acid capacity will be increased to 780,000 tonnes/year from 620,000 tonnes/year, the company said.
In addition, Nippon Shokubai plans to build a 20,000 tonne/year acrylic acid special esters facility at its Kawasaki plant in Kanagawa prefecture to add to its current acrylic acid special esters capacity of 40,000 tonnes/year produced at the Himeji plant, the company said.
Nippon Shokubai expects to spend Y3.5bn for the unit, it added.
The new unit at Kawasaki is scheduled to be completed at the end of September 2013 and start commercial production in October the same year, according to the statement by Nippon Shokubai.
Demand for acrylic acid special esters for automotive coatings is growing rapidly, Nippon Shokubai said.
The company also plans to build a new acrylic acid plant in Indonesia through its subsidiary Nippon Shokubai Indonesia (NSI) that is expected to start commercial operations at "around the same time" as the new facility at Himeji, a company source said over the phone.

Bartlesville Woman Drowns in Single-Vehicle Crash
By AP
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say a Bartlesville woman was killed after her car crashed into a creek in Washington County.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the wreck happened Sunday night on a county road near Bartlesville. According to a preliminary report, 44-year-old Sherry Hockett crossed the center line as she negotiated a curve on a county road.
The highway patrol says Hockett swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle, then overcorrected and drove off the road. Her car partially overturned, trapping her inside.
The highway patrol says Hockett was pronounced dead at the scene and that she may have drowned. A passenger in her car wasn't injured.

All evidence indicates he died in a road mishap
Police have requested the family of Telangana Praja Front president Akula Bhoomaiah to pass on any material that could prove that he was murdered. Bhoomaiah was moved down by a GHMC tipper on December 24 at Nallakunta.
The victim, a resident of Adikmet, was returning home on his scooter after attending a book release function at the Somajiguda press club, when a speeding tipper rammed the two-wheeler from behind near Vidyanagar crossroads at around 9.40 p.m.
Based on a complaint lodged by his family that the State government was behind the 'killing', Nallakunta police registered a case of murder under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. A fortnight after the incident, investigators are completely at sea with circumstantial evidence and account of eyewitnesses indicating that it was a road mishap.
Family sticks to claim
Meanwhile, Bhoomaiah's family are sticking to their guns that it was murder.
"We are continuing our probe. We have also requested the family to share any information or material indicating it to be murder," a city police officer said.
Cleaner drove truck
Suspicions had arisen after the tipper by driven by the cleaner, D. Chennaiah (28), and not the usual driver Ravinder, who was away as he had to attend an Ayyappa puja at Malakpet.
Chennaiah possessed a driving license and was not drunk as confirmed by a medical test done by the police soon after the accident. A certificate was also issued in this regard by the doctor.
"Till now we had not come across any evidence suggesting that the driver had any intention to kill Bhoomaiah. But the investigation is not yet complete," the police said.

Ivanovic can look like a thuggish lump - but he can also add some drive and steel - I like his energy - and he took his goal very nicely... Ramirez, a player who has impressed me a lot previously, seemed quietish... Mata - he's just a player I really like with enormous quality IMO... and as for 'Side-show Bob'
, he always looks like there's a big accident waiting to happen with him, but, yes, i do like his style generally.
Any thoughts or secret knowledge on who will be managing the blues next season, Fena?
Terry has been outstanding all year. Villas-Boas liked the high line, he liked to be open and attack, and Terry was playing alongside Luiz, who has been all over the place all season. That made Chelsea concede goals easier than they used to, but for some reason people have been looking at Terry and saying he hasn't been playing well. Individually he's been as good as ever.
Luiz was actually really good last night, best defensive game for Chelsea i've seen from him. Ivanovic is just always there, whatever you need from him. He plays right back, centre back, he scores goals.. if every player had his outlook, we'd be in a much better position than we are now.
Mata was actually pretty poor yesterday, I like him alot, but I don't think he's been as great as people like to make out. I think that has alot to do with him being the only creative player in an older team, who don't have genuine wide players to spread the opposition, and also being stuck out wide alot.
As for the new manager, who knows! It won't be Guardiola, which is good. The only one it can be is Mourinho, if it's not him then who else is there? Moyes? Capello? Benitez? Maybe they might stick with Di Matteo if he does well, that could be a mistake with this being the time to rebuild the squad, is he really the right manager to do it over the next 3-4 years? I'm not so sure.

'To compete in the global arena, India has to unleash its innovation potential'
India needs to step up expenditure on research to pursue innovation in a big way, said President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday, while expressing concern that the country's innovation bottom line was "not very encouraging." He urged the private sector to increase their share of spending to the levels prevailing in countries such as South Korea, Japan and USA.
The President, who was speaking on the occasion of National Technology Day celebrations held here at the Vigyan Bhavan, drew attention to the patent applications filed annually in countries like United States of America and China, saying the number was nearly 12 times more than that of India.
"India spends only 0.9 per cent of GDP on research and development, which is much below that of China, UK and Israel. We should step up our expenditure on research to pursue innovation in a big way. The private sector, which contributes one-fourth of our country's expenditure on research and development, should also increase their share of spending to levels prevalent in countries such as Japan, US and South Korea," he said.
Globalisation, the President said, had rewritten the rules of business and only the most competitive and resilient companies could expect to survive in the fiercely global market. "If our systems are strong and robust, the world will respect us and be willing to work with us," he said.
The President emphasised that in a globally competitive world India had to unleash its innovation potential to increase capacity, productivity, efficiency, and inclusive growth. "The spirit of innovation has to permeate all sectors of economy from universities, business and government to people at all levels."
Future prosperity of India in the new knowledge economy, he said, would increasingly depend on its ability to generate new ideas, processes and solutions, and added that the process of innovation would convert knowledge into social good and economic wealth.
The needs and requirements of our democratic polity were different from other nations, Mr. Mukherjee said. The nation's priorities for innovation, according to him, should be conditioned by our socio-economic realities. "The Indian innovation strategy, therefore, has to be different. It should focus on generating ideas that promote inclusive growth and benefit people at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid," he said.
Awards presented
On the occasion, he presented the National Technology Award for 2013 to Messrs Biovet Private Limited, a firm based in Kolar, Karnataka, for the successful commercialisation of vaccines for two important diseases that afflict animals. The technology was provided by the Indian Veterinary Research Institute at Izzatnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
The National Award for best technology commercialisation by a small scale unit went to Pyrodynamics of Bangalore. The second award in the category went to Messrs Accurate Gauging and Instruments Private Limited of Pune.
In addition, the President presented awards to Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai in Tamil Nadu, K.M. Shankar of Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, R.K. Vijh and his team from the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources Karnal, and Samir Kumar of West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences for their contribution in the development and commercialisation of various innovative biotechnology products.
Union Science and Technology Minister Jaipal Reddy launched a blood chemistry analyser, developed with the help of the Technology Development Board under the Department of Science and Technology, and a hand-held device that detects various infectious diseases developed with support from the New Millenium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative Scheme of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.

The Supreme Court on Monday expressed dissatisfaction with the inconclusive reports presented by the police and the chief commissioner of Islamabad on last week's terror attack on the district and sessions court. It asked the interior secretary to form an independent joint investigation team headed by a DIG, which will complete the probe within two weeks time.
Chief Justice Tassaduq Jilani said prima facie the conduct of the Islamabad police is a moot point so some other body will investigate the matter. Since the role of the Islamabad police may be a subject of probe during investigation he asked the interior secretary to constitute a team comprising competent and upright police officers.
After receiving the report from the Islamabad Inspector-General of police Sikandar Hayat and chief commissioner of Islamabad Jawad Paul, the bench headed by the Chief Justice pointed to the discrepancies in the two reports. While the police now say there were only two attackers, the chief commissioner pointed to more than two of them. The lawyers said there were many more, the court observed.
The court asked if the police had blocked exit points and roads to stop the remaining men. Though 154 witnesses were examined as reported by the chief commissioner, the court observed that he was not in a position to give a conclusive opinion about the number of terrorists.
The IG's report did not indicate whether there was any standard operating procedure (SOP) regarding the security plan for the district court premises. The report also did not say whether the remaining assailants were chased or any effort was made to contain them so they don't escape, the court observed.
The IG was directed to submit an additional report on this within two days to the court.
Meanwhile, the apex court also directed the Islamabad High Court to conduct its own inquiry and present its report to the Supreme Court.
The court ordered that till the investigation was completed, no public figure should make a statement on this matter after lawyers pointed to Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan's speech in the National
Assembly where he said that additional sessions judge Rafakat Awan was killed by his own guard.
The court came down heavily on the police saying "when will you understand how to tackle terrorism". Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh said why don't you go to a book shop and read up.
The court questioned the lack of SOPs even though the country was fighting terror for over a decade.
Meanwhile, Malik Khalid Noon, Mr. Awan's reader, who was present in court, said the police were pressuring him to say that the judge was shot by his guard. He was threatened by a police officer that a case of murder would be filed against him otherwise. The reader claims he saw the attackers enter the court and fire at the judge. To this Mr. Awan's elder brother Colonel (retd) Safdar Hussain said the reader was lying and the gun with the guard could not fire more than one shot accidentally. He said Mr. Awan was killed at close range and his chest was blackened.
Mr. Hussain said the reader had called another judge to say that Mr. Awan was killed at 9.18 am (local time) even before the bomb blast, which took place at 9.25 am (local time). The apex court did not comment on this and said it would wait till the investigation as complete.
The court also ordered that the compensation be enhanced for the injured and the families of the victims which was now pegged at Rs. 75,000 and Rs five lakh respectively. This was considered too meagre an amount by the court. Lawyer Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani said that the court complex should be shifted to a safe location.

Can't believe a restaurant of this caliber is in such a small town as Truckee. Great views. Great food. Young chef who is doing outstanding things. Very yummy and worth the trip from Northstar. Wish they would make the butternut squash…

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Rory email@example.com Ask any high school athletic director what's the most important element of the job and they'll quickly respond by saying time management. The school doors are open for business from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. But the demanding work schedule of an athletic director is like a life unto itself, requiring an individual to sometimes burn the midnight oil with far and few break between shifts. This overwhelming and often under-appreciated position is a heavy cross to bare for just one person, so the powers that be at Lovejoy High School recently decided to make it a joint operation. Now, current athletic director Al Hughes, who also serves as varsity head football coach, should be able to rest a little bit easier as former football director of operations and Lovejoy wrestling coach, James Stanford, has been promoted to co-athletic director. "As we've moved to 5A competition, and with our student enrollment above 2,000 as of the first day of school, it's very hard for someone who is the head football coach to be an athletic director," said Stanford. "As schools get bigger and bigger, there is more paperwork to do. This helps you do things more efficiently." Stanford, who in 1999 earned a degree in business management from the Terry College School of Business at the University of Georgia, is a life-long Clayton County man with a deep passion for young people and sports. During his teen-age years, this class of 1994 graduate played football, golf and competed on the wrestling squad at Jonesboro High School. He later cut his teeth in coaching as an assistant in football as well as head man for the wrestling and golf team at his alma mater. In 2004, he went across town to Lovejoy where he served as an assistant under Hughes and as head coach for the Wildcats wrestling team. However, last season, he took on a bigger role as an administrator, filing forms and attending various meetings, which ultimately helped prepare him for this transition as an executive at Lovejoy High. "As new issues come up with the Georgia High School Association, that's something you always have to relay to your coaches. With the heat, we're always making sure it's safe to practice. There's always new policy changes coming from the GHSA and from the county Board of Education. A lot of it is being a good communicator and making sure the coaches and parents know what's going on," said Stanford. Among the many upgrades Stanford and Hughes envision is to replace a lot of older equipment, including soccer goals, wrestling mats and improve the training facilities. In addition to the renovations, they also want to earn enough overall points to win the GHSA Directors Cup. Yet, with all these internal challenges, both athletic directors are in the midst of a county-wide crisis surrounding the district's potential loss of accreditation and mass exodus of students fleeing for greener pastures. "We're thinking we're going to keep it. We had a few athletes that have decided to go ahead and change schools, but not very many. We kept most of our football guys, especially the seniors. I really hope we don't lose it because Clayton County has some good things going on," said Stanford. It's this positive mindset that has coach Hughes feeling very optimistic about Stanford's promotion and how he can help elevate Lovejoy's status as one of the premiere schools in Clayton County. "The last couple of years, the athletic director has gotten to be a real handful. I've known James for along time - since before he was born," said Hughes. "He was looking to gain some experience in that area. So, it just seemed like a good idea to be to bring him along as co-athletic director and give him an opportunity to do all the things that I didn't have time to get done."

A new campaign against the bullying of LGBTI young people kicked off in Thailand yesterday with students at Bangkok's Thammassat University drawing gay pride rainbows on the footpath to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHO).
The event launch for the School Rainbow campaign saw a colorful performance by a Rainbow All Boy Cheerleaders squad as students colored in the rainbow and wrote messages of support in chalk.
Students at the NIST International School participated in a similar event earlier today and students at Mathayom Prachanivet School and Wat Nuannoradit School will be holding similar events from 6am tomorrow.
On IDAHO day itself, 17 May, students will also converge upon the Bangkok Art & Cultural Center (BACC) for a youth sharing and empowerment workshop on bullying organized by LGBTI rights group Anjaree Foundation and Thammassat University.
The event is being supported by UNESCO, UNAIDS and partners, including the Embassies of the United States and the Netherlands in Bangkok and Wednesday's event was opened by US Ambassador Kristie Anne Kenney.
'For too many young people from LGBTI communities, returning to school means re-entering a world where there is the very real threat of being bullied, including verbal, physical and even sexual abuse,' Kenney said at the event.
A study conducted by Plan International, UNESCO, and Mahidol University released at Wednesday's event found that nearly one-third of Thai students who identify as LGBTI reported having experienced physical abuse.
A similar number were targets of verbal abuse and one-in-four said they faced sexual harassment because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
7% of those who reported being bullied said they had attempted suicide in the last year and 23% said they had suffered depression over it.
'This study is the first of its kind in Thailand,' said Gwang-Jo Kim, the Director of UNESCO Bangkok.
'Conducted in five provinces across four regions of Thailand with over 2,500 students, teachers and school administrators, it gives an unprecedented look into the situation in schools here.'
For Thai students who are kathoey (a Thai concept that groups transgender people with cross dressing gay men) being able to wear the school uniforms and using the washrooms of their preferred gender was also an issue.
'The report confirms what many of us know and have lived through,' said Anjana Suvarnananda, founder of Anjaree Foundation.
'Even going to school toilets makes us vulnerable to abuse and harassment as we are not accepted at washrooms designated for either sex.'

UBS Names Joint Global Heads for Investment Banking Unit
March 7 (Bloomberg) -- UBS AG, Switzerland's biggest bank, named Matthew Grounds and Simon Warshaw joint global heads of its investment banking division after John Wall retired.
The two will work alongside Jimmy Neissa, who was co-head of the unit with Wall, with immediate effect, the Zurich-based bank told employees in an e-mail. Grounds will remain head of UBS's Australian unit. Warshaw, head of investment banking in Europe, is advising British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc's independent directors on the pay television's 7.8 billion-pound ($16.7 billion) takeover by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
UBS's revenue from managing stock and bond sales and advising clients on mergers and acquisitions fell 16 percent in 2010 from a year earlier to 2.84 billion Swiss francs ($3.1 billion). That was lower than UBS's eight biggest competitors, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Chief Executive Officer Oswald Gruebel said last month earnings at the investment bank "must improve significantly" in 2011.
The division "finished 2010 with strong momentum, and we have high ambitions for growing the profit before tax contributions from the business," Carsten Kengeter, CEO of the investment bank, said in the e-mail. A UBS spokesman confirmed the document and declined to comment further today.
UBS's Australian unit overtook Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s local affiliate and Macquarie Group Ltd. last year to gain the top spot in Australian mergers and acquisitions advisory, according to Bloomberg data.
Sole Responsibility
Warshaw assumed sole responsibility for investment banking for Europe, the Middle East and Africa after his co-head Hermann Prelle took a one-year sabbatical in September 2010.
New York-based Neissa, 49, joined UBS in 2001 and was previously chairman of mergers and acquisitions in the investment banking division.
Wall, born in 1961, returned to UBS in 2009 after taking a short break from the industry. During his 25-year career at the Swiss bank, he has overseen proprietary trading and was a co-head of its equities unit.
Kengeter, who became sole head of the investment bank last year, told investors in November that the decline in investment-banking revenue was a result of UBS missing out on some of the biggest deals. The unit needs to be more closely aligned with sales and trading to improve earnings, he said.
He named Roberto Hoornweg as co-head of its fixed-income, currencies and commodities unit with Rajeev Misra last month, replacing Dimitrios Psyllidis. Misra and Hoornweg will run the securities business together with equities co-heads Yassine Bouhara and Francois Gouws, according to the bank.
Gruebel has hired more than 1,700 investment bankers since coming out of retirement in 2009 to rebuild UBS and stem customer defections following a government rescue in 2008.

There is no effective mechanism for loan recovery and the number of defaulters is also high
Availing Differential Rate of Interest (DRI) loans is turning out to be a major challenge for petty traders and businessmen in the south of the city. Apprehensions about the recovery of loan dues and increase in workload by bankers are the reasons , social activists point out.
The banks extend DRI loans at four per cent interest to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME). Usually, the loan amount is below Rs. 25,000 and the Reserve Bank of India guidelines stipulate the banks to sanction it within 15 days of receipt of an application.
Mohammed Turab, executive secretary, Confederation of Voluntary Organisations (COVA) says not all banks are cooperating with the people in this regard, forcing them to approach private financers and money lenders for loans at exorbitant rates of interest.
The organisation has recently taken the initiative to facilitate people avail of DRI loans through the banks across the south of the city. Around 300 applications were filed by a team from COVA in four different banks. "A few bank managers are cooperating, while many are reluctant forcing us to apply online," says Mr. Turab.
He blames lack of awareness among the bank staff. "Sanctioning loans to small entrepreneurs has its own issues, so they focus on big businesses to complete their quota," he says. Mr. Turab feels that unless the senior officials at the city level intervene the situation will not change.
"Apart from lending money the banks will also benefit by way of new customers," he says.
However, bank officials say they face lot of problems in recovery of loan and the previous experiences are preventing them from sanctioning loans.
"We do not have an effective mechanism for loan recovery and the number of defaulters is high here," a bank official, said on condition of anonymity.

Houses in Multiple Occupancy
The Housing Act 2004 has introduced a new definition of a 'house in multiple occupation (HMO)'. The interpretation is complex but can briefly be summed up as a building or part of a building consisting of one or more units of living accommodation, or a self-contained flat; occupied by persons who do not form a single household and where there is some sharing of the basic amenities (washing facilities, toilets, kitchens). The main effect of this is to include shared student housing within this definition.
The Government intended that only high risk HMO's be subject to licensing. They are identified as those properties which comprise three storeys or more, and house five or more persons who form two or more households. A household can be a single person. Regulations to control the management of HMO's have also been introduced and they apply to all categories of HMO.
As at December 2012 approximately 1750 applications for a licence have been received and work is continuing to identify properties which should be licensed but are not. Letters are currently being sent to licence holders of properties whose licence has expired advising them of the need to renew the licence.
View Online HMO Licensing Applications
The Local Authority must grant a licence if it is satisfied that
- The house is reasonably suitable for occupation by the number of households or persons applied for or determined by the LA having regard amongst other things to the provision of amenities and facilities.
- The proposed licence holder or manager is a fit and proper person and is the most appropriate person to hold the licence.
- The arrangements for managing the house are satisfactory.
There is a fee payable by the landlord to cover the cost of administering the scheme and inspecting the properties to ensure that they meet the relevant standards. The details of the fees that will be charged can be found The Government have set minimum standards for the provision of amenities and the local authority has set additional requirements which can be attached as conditions to the licence.
The Council operates an Accreditation Scheme for Shared Housing and HMOs the purpose of which is to raise standards of accommodation on a voluntary basis. It is open to both licensable and non-licensable HMOs and is free to join.

In addition, Jacobs has numerous lawsuits that have yet to be resolved. Andrew Rosenbaum has been handling one such case, in which a patient, who requested not to be named, came to Jacobs for a boob job in August 2004. According to Rosenbaum, the patient began to notice a disturbing mass in one of her breasts after the procedure, and worried that she might have breast cancer. The patient underwent uncomfortable and expensive scans to investigate the mass, but no one could figure out whether it was a tumor or not. She spent years with the fear of death gnawing at her. "After approximately two and a half years of suffering the discomfort and pain, the psychological fear and the worry, she had to have a risky procedure known as a needle biopsy," Rosenbaum says. When the doctors pulled the needle out of her breast, he adds, they pulled out a long string of gauze.
"[Jacobs] left a surgical sponge inside her left breast at the time he closed her up during the procedure," says Rosenbaum. His client sued Jacobs last November, and Rosenbaum claims that Jacobs has conceded liability. (John Rubin, Jacobs's attorney in that case, didn't return phone calls seeking comment.) But as it turns out, Jacobs has no malpractice insurance, so Rosenbaum's client may well get nothing for her terror and pain. "Not only did he perform incorrectly the procedurescarred herto add insult to injury, at this point he's refused to amicably resolve fairly and justly compensate my client," Rosenbaum concludes.
Jacobs's lawyer Kelton confirms that Jacobs practiced medicine without malpractice insurance, although this is not illegal. Jacobs acknowledged the incident, but said it was no big deal. "There was nothing crazy, just some gauze I left," he says. "We've made an offer. We made a reasonable offer regarding removal of that. It's just that her attorney is not negotiating in her best interest."
At least in that case, the breast cancer was just a scare. Attorney Mitchell Shapiro is suing Jacobs on behalf of a client who wasn't so lucky. Shapiro's client, who also requested not to be named, was about to visit Jacobs in July 2005 for a liposuction treatment when she had a routine mammogram with another doctor. The test revealed a lump that looked like breast cancer, and her doctor performed a core biopsy and sent it to a lab to make sure. The woman then called Jacobs to cancel the liposuction procedure.
But according to Shapiro, Jacobs didn't want her to do that. "So he says to her, 'No, let's keep the appointment. I don't think you have cancer. Come in, let me take a look. I've already got the time booked for you.' "
Shapiro claims that his client took her mammogram results in, and Jacobs told her the lump looked benign. But just to be safe, he removed tissue from her breast, telling her that he had removed the lump and sent the tissue to a pathology lab for testing. A few days later, the woman's core biopsy indicated that she had cancer. But Jacobs's lab reported that she was healthy, with no cancer at all. How was that possible?
"[Jacobs] missed the lump and sent healthy tissue to the lab," Shapiro says. "He did a lumpectomy of healthy tissue, so naturally his lab comes back negative. . . . So now she realizes that she has to go to a breast surgeon who specializes in cancer. He looks at her breast and said, 'What happened?' She tells him, and he says, 'Jacobs should never have touched you. He's not qualified to do that.' "
Shapiro claims that Jacobs cut such a huge divot out of his client's breast that by the time the surgeons removed the cancer, there was practically no breast left; she had to have a full mastectomy. But that's not what infuriates Shapiro. "If she didn't have that core biopsy and had just believed Jacobs, she would have done nothing, and it would have spread all over the place and killed her," he says. "What he did was just make her whole experience so tortured. To be told that she didn't have cancer, and then be told that he's wrongit's just disgusting."
John Rubin was also Jacobs's attorney in this case, and he didn't return phone calls seeking comment. Again, Jacobs says, the case was inconsequential. "I've done hundreds of breast biopsies throughout the years," he said. "I went in the same spot [where the mammogram showed a lump], took tissue that felt suspicious. They don't put a label on it. . . . I didn't claim I got the mass. It's OK to miss, as long as you say you missed." As for Shapiro's claim that the lumpectomy precipitated his client's mastectomy, Jacobs scoffs: "The amount of tissue I took was less than a dime, all right? So they're blowing things a little out of proportion here."
Beginning in 2003, Jacobs's malpractice caseload suddenly spiked, and his lawyers were handling between three and seven lawsuits a year. In 2006, three women sued the doctor for allegedly jamming oversized implants into their breasts without their knowledgeimplants so large, the New York Post reported, that they would "eat away" at the areola, indent the nipples, or deform the sides of the breasts. Jacobs has denied these allegations and continues to fight them in court. That same year, a stripper from Las Vegas would file the most sensational lawsuit of alland her allegations would become the centerpiece of the hearing that may cost Jacobs his career.

Incontinence & Overactive Bladder Health Center
8 Ways to Tame Bladder Control Problems
3. Cut the caffeine, alcohol, and maybe spicy foods.
If drinks containing caffeine aggravate your overactive bladder, try to limit them. The same holds true for alcohol. Although the research on spicy foods isn't clear, some patients with overactive bladder have found that limiting spicy foods, such as curry, can help.
4. Retrain your bladder.
Specially trained nurses can help you learn techniques such as "prompted voiding," or urinating at specified times of day rather than going just when you need to. This can sometimes retrain the bladder, Vasavada says.
5. Lose a little weight.
A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that overweight or obese women who lost, on average, 17 pounds had a 47% decrease in average weekly episodes of urinary incontinence. The reasons could vary, but one explanation could be that the extra weight adds pressure to the bladder.
6. Do your Kegels.
We all get sick of hearing about how exercise will cure our every ill. But in the case of overactive bladder, there's every reason to believe that a few simple exercises can improve your bladder control problems. Kegels, the pelvic floor exercises in which you tighten the muscles in the bottom of your abdomen for 10 to 15 seconds, can really help control your overactive bladder. But you have to do about 100 a day, Vasavada says. The good news? You don't have to do them all at once. Also, you can do them anywhere, any time.
If you're having an immediate urge, Vasavada suggests an exercise called "quick flicks," quick, repeated contractions of your rear end muscles to abolish bladder spasms.
Also, specially trained physical therapists can help you strengthen your entire pelvic floor, which may help with bladder control and decrease the spasms, Vasavada says. Ask your doctor if physical therapists are available in your area.
7. Take your medicine - and stick with it.
There are several medications that can help if all else fails, but you must stick with them, the experts say. The drugs don't cause lasting improvements unless taken as directed, and studies indicate that compliance to overactive bladder drug therapy drops to about 18% after three months, Vasavada says.

We meet and gather no compassion
Love is thru stomach on the rise
Wearing a mask without disguise [x2]

Go and cut it
Cut to see
Thirst for blood we're longing for
A secret is we're longing for
Take the sharpened knife
And let it slide

Doctor details Boston Marathon suspect's injuries
Tuesday - 8/20/2013, 7:20pm EDT
AP Legal Affairs Writer
BOSTON (AP) -- Newly released court documents describe the extent of injuries to the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, including multiple gunshot wounds to his face and a skull fracture.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's injuries were described by Dr. Stephen Ray Odom during a legal proceeding at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center three days after Tsarnaev was captured hiding in a boat in a backyard in the Boston suburb of Watertown. A transcript of the testimony was unsealed Monday by U.S. District Judge George O'Toole Jr.
Odom, a trauma surgeon who treated Tsarnaev, said the most severe injury was from a bullet that appeared to enter through the left inside of his mouth and exit the lower section of his face on the left side. He described it as a "high-powered injury" that resulted in a skull-base fracture, injuries to his middle ear, the skull base, the pharynx and mouth.
Odom said Tsarnaev also had wounds to his lower extremities and bone injuries to his left hand.
Tsarnaev, 20, has pleaded not guilty to numerous charges in the April 15 bombing -- including using a weapon of mass destruction -- and faces a potential death sentence if convicted. The twin bombings near the finish line of the marathon killed three people and injured more than 260 others.
During his arraignment last month, Tsarnaev's jaw appeared injured, and his left eye and cheek were still swollen. He also wore a cast covering his left forearm, hand and fingers for the seven-minute proceeding that marked his first appearance in public since his capture.
Odom said Tsarnaev, who was in the hospital's intensive care unit at the time of his first legal proceeding, was aware of where he was and knew that he has had multiple medical procedures.
"He knows that he has an injury to the neck and to the hand," Odom said.
Tsarnaev was wounded during a confrontation with police a day after authorities released photos of him and his older brother, Tamerlan, as suspects in the bombing.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev escaped during the shootout, running over his brother in the process. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following the shootout. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured the next day in Watertown.
Tsarnaev's lawyer, Miriam Conrad, declined to comment on the newly released documents. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz also declined to comment.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/New-York-NY/Red-Velvet-NY/2773 Let them eat cake! Or cupcakes, at least. That's what the huge mural of Marie Antoinette on the ceiling would probably say at this cocktail lounge/sweets shop. While a bar that serves cupcakes along with booze would be interesting enough, the owners (who also run sceney lounge The Eldridge nearby) have raised the stakes by actually infusing their cupcakes with alcohol, including an espresso and chocolate cupcake kicked up a notch with Jameson and a vodka-infused, cinnamon-sprinkled red cupcake. They probably won¹t get you drunk, but just in case you want to guarantee your sobriety you can always order the alcohol-free red velvet cupcake. The narrow, glowing space is bordered by gilded molding, as if you were standing inside of a giant painting. As at the Eldridge, this lounge is big on velvet ropes and bouncers; as one would expect, both the cupcakes and drinks here are not cheap.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about Red Velvet Lounge >>

Contrary to the usual cavernous, low-clearance dwellings found on the L.E.S., this one features a 20-foot ceiling. And though this grungy pad is only five feet wide, a lot fits in it: a Jägermeister shot machine, splatter-painted local art, a gold hand sculpture with a disco ball dangling from it, and a DJ.

T-Bo's smokehouse barbecue eatery is a new venture for long-time local educators and business owners, Tim and Donna Borruel, the team behind Sunshine Child Care and Legacy Christian Academy in Santa Clarita.
The restaurant will feature an on-premise meat smoker and five popular styles of barbecue from across the nation, including Kansas City, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama and California favorite, Santa Maria tri-tip.
Located on Soledad Canyon Road in Canyon Country, the owners plan to open in mid-May.
T-Bo's House of BBQ has selected Great Day Advertising as its first ad agency of record. Great Day will be responsible for all of the new restaurant's traditional and interactive advertising.
"Things just immediately clicked with Great Day and we know they'll bring us the fresh thinking we need to optimize our marketing efforts and build our business," said Donna Borruel.
"It's very exciting to work with such outstanding people as Tim and Donna Borruel," said Michael Niles, president of Great Day Advertising. T-Bo's House of BBQ perfectly exemplifies that kind of opportunity with an ownership team willing to innovate in order to build their business."
As Santa Clarita residents since 1983, Tim and Donna Borruel say that they are "committed to bringing the same levels of quality, passion and excellence to T-Bo's House of BBQ that has defined their years as local educators."

Just bought your template last night. Don't know if anyone else has had this problem but when I try to open index.html with slideshow in Dreamweaver CS6 V. 12 Build 5808, it totally crashes…. every time. Have re-booted, This is the only template I've ever gotten from Themeforest that has done this. Will try editing in Notepad ++ but this is very, very inconvenient.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

Did you know that sexual assault in the military is considered an occupational hazard? This was the ruling in the case of Cioca v. Rumsfeld (2011) where 28 service members who were victims of rape while on active duty filed a lawsuit against Secretaries of Defense Rumsfeld and Gates.
The case was dismissed stating that sexual assault is incident to service. This is an important piece of information because currently the Department of Veterans Affairs does not clearly define military sexual trauma as a service related disability.
Currently the veteran must submit "burden of proof" that the incident took place in order to have a chance at receiving benefits and the help they need and deserve. The Ruth Moore Act of 2013 goal is to make it easier for veteran sexual assault victims to receive service connected benefits and treatment for mental-health conditions linked to military sexual trauma. The bill was named after a woman who sought Veterans Affairs benefits for 23 years after being raped several times while serving in the Navy.
According to the Defense Department there were more than 26,000 cases of sexual assault or unwanted sexual contact in fiscal year 2012, which is a 37 percent increase from fiscal year 2011. Additionally, the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention Response Officer (SAPRO) briefing in March of 2012, reported that military sexual trauma is the leading cause of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among women veterans, while combat trauma is the leading cause of PTSD among men.
Military sexual assault is receiving a wide array of public discussion currently because of the new data posted this year that illustrates the problem as epidemic in proportion. Therefore in addition to the Ruth Moore Act there are two other pieces of legislation that are targeting sexual assault in the military.
• The Military Justice Improvement Act of 2013 (S.967) aims to remove the chain of command from the prosecution of crimes punishable by a sentence of more than one year, preventing injustices related to military sexual assault and other forms of misconduct.
• The Sexual Assault Training Oversight and Prevention Act (STOP Act) H.R.1593 that would take the chain of command out of the oversight of military sexual assaults and instead create an autonomous Sexual Assault Oversight and Response Office comprised of civilian and military experts.
In addition to these new pieces of legislation, in 2012 a documentary, "The Invisible War" was released that documents firsthand accounts of sexual assaults in the military, the court systems, and how the VA is handling the PTSD claims [www.tv.com/movies/the-invisible-war/watch/the-invisible-war-2560398/].

The tug of war between the Pentagon and Congress about base closures might have gotten a little more interesting.
According to a story published Feb. 19 in the online defense magazine Breaking Defense, largely forgotten laws give the Defense Department authority to close facilities without the Base Realignment and Closure process — without DOD even getting permission from Congress.
Speaking at the Association of the U.S. Army's winter conference in Huntsville, Ala., House Armed Services Committee staffer Vickie Plunkett said Wednesday that buried in Title 10 — the chapter of the U.S. Code that governs the Defense Department — is Section 2687, which, she said, "does give the services authority to do closures, and it only requires notification to Congress," Breaking Defense reported.
If the Pentagon and the White House were willing to take the political risk, they could shut down facilities and dare a gridlocked Congress to undo it.
"It's notification with time for Congress to act" before the closure is carried out, the magazine reported her saying. But, the veteran staffer went on — emphasizing her opinions were her own, not committee policy — "Congress is basically dysfunctional right now.
"The authorities only require notification. Take your chances," she said to an eruption of laughter, "because it's going to require us to get our act together to stop it."
The Army has recommended to the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Congress that a new round of BRAC is needed for 2017.
More than 350 installations have been closed in five BRAC rounds in 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995 and 2005. No one is suggesting that the Pentagon should try to slip something past Capitol Hill, Breaking Defense stressed. As a matter of constitutional law, any such actions need to be included in the annual budget, which has to be passed by Congress.
As a matter of practical politics, the military informs Congress when it lets go even a handful of arsenal or depot employees, even people fired for misconduct, because it just takes one angry person to call their congressman to bring all sorts of hell down on the Army's head.
The Pentagon is in an even stronger position when it comes to the Army's arsenals, the government-owned manufacturing facilities for military equipment. Section 4532 of Title 10 — portions of which predate the Civil War — is the Arsenal Act, which Plunkett pointed out contains this language: "The Secretary may abolish any United States arsenal that he considers unnecessary."
And that's not even the Secretary of Defense, because the Act was written before that job existed: It's the Secretary of the Army. "The Secretary of the Army," Plunkett emphasized "has unilateral authority — standing, statutory, Title 10 authority — to close arsenals. Unilateral. "Now the issue is," she said, "will the services … take advantage of those statutes?"

I have always dreamed of providing a top quality apartment with beautiful river views to showcase my spectacular home city to national and international guests. I sincerely look forward to meeting all of my guests in person and making their stay in Brisbane one to remember.
annette nyst purchased this apartment in 2009
Spectacular river views, close to the city, a quick walk to public transport and for those tennis fanatics - being 100M away from Brisbane's new international Tennis Centre is a great bonus.
THis is the apartment I intend to live in myself one day.
I love the area and the fact that I can get into the city in 10 minutes yet feel like I live in a beautiful resort in the country. I love watching the birds nesting in the big gum just off the verandah. Having coffee watching the rowers on the Brisbane River as the sun rises and enjoying the beautiful Australian sunsets with a glass wine in the afternoon.
Thankyou for our wonderful stay,the apartment suited our need beautifully. Spacious , very well equipped and in a great location. We were very impressed. We also reall appreciated the Davis cup tickets. the location to public transport and the lovely coffee shop wad an added advantage,
My family of 5 spent two weeks in this fabulous apt when we gathered in Brisbane for a family wedding. We could not have been more comfortably accommodated. The apartment is well laid out with three private bedrooms and plenty of space for my lot to get over jetlag and indulge in Mom's cooking. It was a bit hectic as we had wedding plans to finalize, but we were able to gather in the evenings and enjoy the calm of the apt, watching the river from the deck. We made the most of all the apartment had to offer: plenty of room for lounging, plenty of room to host overseas visitors for drinks, a fully equipped kitchen and easy access to transport to nearby Brisbane CBD. While is was sort of a "working" holiday for us, we all agreed that it was the best place we have found on VRBO. We were reluctant to leave, and that says it all. Thanks Annette
Fabulous property on the Brisbane River - 10 mins to train and city by car.
Apartment is extremely well equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing stay - books and dvd's included. Great pool and a cafe on the estate open for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner (recommend booking for dinner!
Many thanks to Annette for responding to our requests so quickly and for meeting us at the property to show us around.
Our new place to stay when in Brisbane.
We loved everything about this apartment - the views were stunning; the layout of the apartment was superb with plenty of space, comfortable beds and lovely bedlinen and all very clean. The appliances were top of the range, and everything in the apartment was well cared for, which added to the enjoyment of this apartment.
Great location and a short train ride into Brisbane from the local station. Lots of nearby restaurants, shops and other amenities including the Queensland Tennis Centre.
Annette the owner was so helpful and had spent much time making this apartment a wonderful and entirely memorably place to stay. We would love to return.
We rented this apartment through VRBO for a one-week meeting in Brisbane. We had four in our work group (plus one spouse), coming in from three different countries. It was a busy week full of work and we needed a comfortable place to relax during downtime. It was essentially perfect. The apartment is kept in great shape and it is very clean. It has everything we needed such as towels, detergent in the laundry room, etc. The photos do not do it justice. It is actually considerably larger then it looked to me from the photos. I am more used to the opposite effect.
The kitchen was well supplied so we were able to cook four dinners -we had a gourmet cook in the group- and prepare all of our breakfasts as well. There are two great dining areas, the porch and an indoor dining area just off the kitchen. There is a comfortable living room area with a wide screen TV and cable.
It is well located. Several in our group were runners and there were multiple options including a good run in the direction away from downtown along the river and two treadmills in the small gym associated with the complex. We were able to get all around Brisbane using public transportation, starting from the train station that is located within a very short walk from the apartment.
Our 5 people family stayed two months at this apartment, which was simply amazing. Listing description totally accurate. Kindness of the owner, incredible view on the Brisbane river, very well-equipped and comfortable apartment, access to the swimming pools and the gym room of the property, restaurant available in the condo, calm location, many parks around, ideally situated 15' from Brisbane centre, two parking spaces! We strongly recommend a stay at this property. Thanks so much A. for all!
We had the great pleasure of staying in Beresford for two weeks in early 2013. The apartment is a huge, beautifully designed, secure , comfortable and very fully equipped property in a modern but very private and well maintained development.
It so happened that our arrival in Brisbane coincided with the arrival of the remains of tropical cyclone Oswald, and we were prevented from venturing outdoors for a couple of days due to high winds and heavy rain. However the apartment is such an outstanding place in which to live that we barely registered any inconvenience at all. The rooms are all large, particularly the main living area, and they all feel very bright, light, airy and welcoming, even when a tempest is raging outside.
In all weathers, the views of the Brisbane River from the balcony are continually fascinating and in good weather, the balcony is a wonderful place to while away an hour or several with a glass or two of wine.
For most of our stay we did not have a car, but we found the trip into Brisbane to be very quick and easy: just a brief stroll to the local station and a 15 minute train ride. On the days that we stayed within the complex, there was potentially plenty to do, with tennis courts, swimming pools and golf all within easy reach. The on-site café ('Buzz') is great for coffee or a meal on the terrace overlooking the river
The owner, Annette, met us on arrival to show us around and was friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
It is not possible to do full justice to this property in a few words, but it really is a stunning apartment in a beautiful location and we hope we will be able to return one day.
My apartment has the best of both worlds if you are visiting Brisbane . It is where luxury meets nature. Only 10 minutes from the city and yet being able to enjoy the beautiful Australian landscape at your front door. The Austalian gum tree just off your balcony often has Kookaburras and Australian birdlife breeding in it! . You can shop and sight-see yet have the luxury of swimming pools, bbq Areas, tennis courts and a well appointed childrens playground at your front door.. Brisbane Gold course for the golf enthusiast is a 10 minute walk. There is also a Restaurant to pop down too to pick up that much needed early morning coffee. I hope to live here when day myself but invite you to enjoy my apartment while you are visiting Brisbane. Annette

A-Rod's ailing hip will be monitored
Updated: March 6, 2009, 7:50 PM ETBy Buster Olney | ESPN.com
Hip surgery is the worst-case scenario for Alex Rodriguez, but the specialist who examined the Yankees' third baseman earlier this week indicated there is a very good chance that Rodriguez could play the whole season with the labrum tear, sources say.
Yankees co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner said Rodriguez had additional tests on Friday in Colorado.
"Everybody is concerned, of course," Steinbrenner said after meeting with general manager Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi for about ...

Recognize Ke$ha on the red carpet?
No, we didn't either.
The usually wild, glittery pop star revealed what's being called her most "shocking look yet" at last night's American Music Awards.
Shocking because she looks, um, normal!
One celeb site says she looked ready for a "high school dance." Another said she looked "Old Hollywood." On Twitter, one person noted she had "really cleaned up."
But when she hit the stage, Ke$ha was back to her usual style, ramping it up for her performance of Die Young.
While her looks may have been more demure than usual, Ke$ha was as sassy as ever in interviews. When Entertainment Tonightasked if she would be interested in dating Justin Bieber, 18, in thewake of reports he has split from Selena Gomez, Ke$ha, 25, answered: "Imean, is he of age? I would hit that. Who wouldn't hit that?"

800 homes flooded as Britain soaked by more heavy rain
More News from Agence France-Presse
LONDON – More than 800 homes in England and Wales have been flooded as heavy rain and strong winds battered the country and environmental officials warned of more downpours to come on Monday.
Two people have died since heavy rain began on Wednesday, including a woman killed by a falling tree in the southwestern English city of Exeter and a man trapped in his car in rising waters in Somerset.
In a Twitter message, Prime Minister David Cameron described the scenes of flooding in the rural southwestern region of Cornwall as "shocking", and promised the government "will help ensure everything is being done to help".
Parts of the Cornish village of Millbrook were reportedly under 1.5 metres (five feet) of water and 40 homes were evacuated, a BBC reporter who lives there said, after torrents of muddy water swept through the village on Saturday.
Many communities were cut off after police shut water-logged roads in Cornwall and neighbouring Devon.
In Malmesbury in Wiltshire, western England, pub landlord Tom Hudson said he had water lapping at the door in the worst floods he had seen for 14 years.
"It's gone down a lot but I'm trying to get hold of some sandbags because more rain is forecast for later today," he said.
"Houses across the road have been flooded to a depth of three or four feet, with furniture floating around in the rooms.
"I've been here 14 years and there were floods in 2000 and again in 2007 but this is much worse than either of those."
Residents of the village of Kempsey in Worcestershire, central England, criticised new flood defences which they said had made the flooding worse, after pumps failed.
The Environment Agency said 816 homes have been flooded since Wednesday across England and Wales.

So much for Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's campaign. His 26-year-old son, David, just got busted at Little Rock, Arkansas's airport today when an X-ray spotted a loaded Glock in his carry-on luggage. You know, like the one Cho Seung-Hui used in the Virginia Tech shootings.
