text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The conclusion! X-23 and Hellion have stormed the Facility to rescue Mercury. And as if Kimura and a hundred Facility agents wasn't bad enough, something is roaming the halls of the Facility... something designed to feed on mutants. Predator X is on the loose, and nothing will ever be the same for the New X-Men! Part 4 (of 4)! X-23 and Hellion encounter a small army and Kimura in their efforts to rescue Mercury. Hellion defeats Kimura but refuses to kill her, insisting to X-23 that they have to be better than their enemies. They are then attacked by several "Predator X" creatures that were created at the request of William Stryker. Stryker learned of a "mutant antichrist" who would turn the tide in mutantkind's favor. Predator X was developed using Mercury's skin and designed to feed exclusively on mutant blood. The Predator X creatures quickly overwhelm the two young mutants and things go from bad to worse when a fresh contingent of Facility guards surround them. At that moment, the X-Men and remaining New X-Men arrive with a ONE Sentinel and quickly make short work of the remaining Facility forces. One of the Predator X creatures survives the battle and escapes. Upon their return to the Institute, Mercury reaches out to X-23 for support while Emma Frost deals with the continuing threat of Kimura. She confronts Kimura with her abusive past and the fact that she has becoming the same kind of bullying abuser she who victimized her in her youth. Emma erases Kimura's memories of her grandmother, the only person who ever showed her any love or kindness. She then sets her on a mission to torment those who ran the Facility, starting with the man who tortured Mercury: Dr. Harkins. With one threat eliminated, another emerges as long-time X-Men ally Amanda Sefton returns to Earth in a blazing ball of fire with an ominous warning.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence
Journal of Youth and Adolescence provides a single, high-level medium of communication for psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, criminologists, educators, and professionals in many other allied disciplines who address the subject of youth and adolescence. The journal publishes papers based on quantitative analyses, theoretical papers, and comprehensive review articles. The journal especially welcomes empirically rigorous papers that take policy implications seriously. Research need not have been designed to address policy needs, but manuscripts must address implications for the manner society formally (e.g., through laws, policies or regulations) or informally (e.g., through parents, peers, and social institutions) responds to the period of youth and adolescence.

Generic equivalents for Heartgard Plus Chewables...What are generics?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, how it is taken, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name and works the same way in the body in the same amount of time.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is the generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (e.g. different shape or color), as trademark laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to invent a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name drug and sell it at substantial discounts.

Taliban spreading its tentacles in India, says Pakistan's Interior Minister
Interpol on Thursday confirmed fears of a possible terror attack on the ongoing cricket World Cup matches. Briefing journalists here, the secretary general of the international police organisation, Ronald K. Noble said Interpol identified, located and arrested a terrorist with the help of Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Maldives last week.
"Thanks to the cooperation of your country and other countries, we were able to make sure that the World Cup remains safe,'' Mr. Noble said, but did not reveal the nationality of the arrested terrorist. All he said was that the man was arrested on his way from Karachi.
Details shared
Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik disclosed that the terrorist was not a Pakistani; adding that all details had been shared with India. Further, according to him, there was information to suggest that the Taliban was spreading its tentacles in India. Again, this had been brought to the notice of Indian authorities, he said.
While no mention of this was made at the joint press conference by Mr. Malik and Mr. Noble, a press release issued by Interpol on March 10 said a Maldives national wanted in connection with a 2007 terror bombing attack was arrested after his passport triggered an Interpol alarm as he travelled from Pakistan to the Maldives via Sri Lanka.
"Iqbal Mohamed, the subject of an Interpol Red Notice for internationally wanted persons issued at the request of the Maldives National Central Bureau, was identified by Interpol's Major Events Support Team deployed to Sri Lanka for the Cricket World Cup during a routine check of Colombo airport passenger manifests."
Meanwhile, the Foreign Office said Pakistan had been assured by the Indian government that all measures had been taken to secure the World Cup matches in India; particularly the fixtures in which the Pakistani team was playing given the threats made against the team by certain organisations.
"Pakistan's High Commissioner in India has been in touch with the Indian government and we have been assured of the team's security,'' Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua said, adding that when a country hosts such a big event, it takes responsibility for the security.
Home Secretary-level talks
About the upcoming Home Secretary-level talks in New Delhi next week, Ms. Janjua said Pakistan would approach the meeting with an "open mind and constructive spirit." Stating that dialogue is the only way forward, she said this dialogue must be "uninterrupted and uninterruptable."

Excess Uranium Inventories:
Clarifying DOE's Disposition Options Could Help Avoid Further Legal Violations
GAO-11-846: Published: Sep 26, 2011. Publicly Released: Sep 26, 2011.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Uranium is a key component in the production of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. The Department of Energy (DOE) manages the nation's surplus uranium, which is derived in part from former nuclear weapons production. In 2008, DOE published a uranium management plan that set a target for DOE uranium sales and transfers to avert harm to the domestic uranium industry. In 2009, DOE began using natural uranium to pay for cleanup work at a former uranium enrichment facility in Ohio, without having identified such transactions in its 2008 plan. As directed, GAO reviewed DOE's uranium management program. This report examines (1) DOE's uranium transactions and plans for future transactions, (2) the extent to which these transactions were consistent with DOE's uranium management plan, and (3) the extent to which these transactions were consistent with federal law. GAO reviewed transaction documents and contracts and interviewed knowledgeable DOE, contractor, and uranium industry officials and uranium market analysts.
In a series of seven transactions from December 2009 through June 2011, DOE used 1,873 metric tons of natural uranium to pay for $256 million in cleanup services provided by two contractors at the Portsmouth, Ohio, enrichment facility, and additional transactions are planned. Six out of seven of these transactions involved the United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC), former operator of the Portsmouth facility. DOE released 1,473 metric tons of uranium, and USEC provided $194 million in cleanup services at the Portsmouth facility. Among other activities, USEC's services included removing chemical and hazardous materials from the plant. The seventh transaction involved a second contractor. In June 2011, DOE released 400 metric tons of uranium, and the contractor agreed to provide $62 million in decontamination and decommissioning services. DOE officials said the department expects to continue transferring natural uranium to this contractor for cleanup services through 2013. DOE's uranium transactions have been consistent with parts of its uranium management plan but not with others. The plan states that DOE would adhere to a target for uranium sales and transfers of no more than 10 percent of annual domestic fuel requirements for uranium. DOE's releases of uranium into the commercial market did not exceed the annual target specified in the plan, ranging from 5 percent of demand in 2008 to 6 percent in 2010--well below the 2008 plan's designated target. With regard to other provisions, however, DOE has departed somewhat from the plan. For example, the department has deviated from the schedule of uranium transfers articulated by the plan, allowing more uranium to enter the market sooner than cited. DOE's uranium transactions with USEC were sales authorized by the USEC Privatization Act, but they did not comply with federal fiscal law. The USEC Privatization Act requires that before a uranium sale, DOE must determine that the materials are surplus to national security needs; that the department is receiving fair market value; and that the sales will not adversely affect the domestic uranium mining, conversion, and enrichment industries. GAO found that DOE met these requirements. Nevertheless, by not depositing the value of the net proceeds from the sales of uranium into the Treasury, DOE violated the miscellaneous receipts statute. This statute requires an official or agent of the government receiving money from any source on the government's behalf to deposit the money in the Treasury. As GAO found when it reviewed a similar series of transactions in 2006, DOE provided the uranium to USEC for sale to a third party and allowed USEC to keep the proceeds of the sales. Even with no money changing hands, GAO concludes that an amount equivalent to the value that went to USEC should have gone to the Treasury. By not depositing an amount equal to the value of the uranium into the Treasury, DOE has inappropriately circumvented the power of the purse granted to Congress under the Constitution. GAO recommends that DOE update its uranium management plan and suggests that Congress consider authorizing DOE to, among other things, retain the proceeds of future uranium transactions. DOE agreed to update its uranium management plan but disagreed that its actions did not comply with federal fiscal law. GAO maintains, however, that DOE's comments do not undermine the conclusion that the department violated the miscellaneous receipts statute.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: Congress has not provided DOE with explicit authority to barter excess uranium and retain the proceeds, nor directed DOE to sell uranium assets and use the proceeds in amounts provided in advance appropriation for decontamination and decommissioning of uranium facilities and deposit any excess into the Treasury.
Matter: If Congress sees merit in using proceeds from the barter, transfer, or sale of federal uranium assets to pay for environmental cleanup of uranium enrichment facilities, it may wish to consider: (1) providing DOE with explicit authority to barter excess uranium and to retain the proceeds from barters, transfers, or sales or (2) directing DOE to sell federal uranium assets for cash and directing that collected proceeds be made available for obligation only to the extent and in the amount provided in advance in appropriations acts for necessary expenses in decontaminating and decommissioning uranium facilities and directing DOE to deposit into the Treasury any excess over what is appropriated.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOE released an updated "Excess Uranium Inventory Management Plan" in July 2013 to replace the December 2008 plan.
Recommendation: To improve DOE's management of its excess uranium inventories, the Secretary of Energy should update the December 2008 "Excess Uranium Inventory Management Plan" to more accurately reflect DOE's plans for marketing its uranium.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
When it comes to music, "weird" is just another word for "things we might not yet realize work perfectly"—and Battles are weird. Which should be expected, given the backgrounds of the musicians involved: Guitarists Ian Williams and Dave Konopka were in the inventive post-rock outfits Don Caballero and Lynx, respectively; drummer John Stanier cut his teeth in alt-metal stalwart Helmet; and guitarist/laptopper/noise engineer Tyondai Braxton is the son of free-jazz genius Anthony Braxton, and an accomplished tinkerer in his own right. What we're given with Mirrored, Battles' first album, is a sprawl of modular instrumentation, rhythmic perplexity, and the occasional nudge to the ribs.
It's on point when it focuses on delivering heavy chops and gleeful absurdity at the same time: "Atlas" is a heavy shuffle-stomp glam-rock groove that turns the swagger of songs like Sweet's "Block Buster" into a droning rodent sea shanty, "Bad Trails" mixes power-pop "oh oh oh" vocals into airport music for Sun Ra's aviary, and "Rainbow" splits up a couple of fusillades of windpipe-throttling percussion and sustained guitar noise with a brief interlude of British music-hall piano funk.
The biggest strength of Mirrored is its titular evocation of endless reflections: Like the last scene of Enter the Dragon, it deceives you constantly with disorienting refractions of time and meter and sound, until you're not entirely sure where you're going, much less where you're standing at that moment.

Before going for a consultation I did a lot of research about the surgery, Doctors in the area, and the after care. I felt really overwhelmed and after reading all of the amazing reviews for Dr. Humphreys I asked my Dr to send a referral to him. I went to see Dr Humphreys last year for a Breast Reduction Consultation and it was fantastic. He was so professional and actually took the time to address my concerns and make me feel at ease about the surgery. My consultation was in December and my Surgery was in February. On the day of my surgery I was so nervous and so before the surgery he made me feel safe and comfortable. I am SO grateful for him and his talent. I had a reduction and a lift and they look fantastic. Not only did he do a great job, but he has seen me 3 times since the surgery to make sure everything is healing nicely. He is very considerate, he takes pride in his work, and takes the time to educate you on after care. I highly recommend Dr Humphreys and his staff at McLeod Trail Plastic Surgery! Thank you so much Dr Humphreys!!! You are incredible! :)

I was referred to Dr. Humphrey's to perform my breast reconstruction immediately after prophylactic bilateral mastectomies (performed by Dr. Austen). I was immediately impressed with his bedside manner and the time he took with me to also know who I was beyond being "a patient". He was honest and compassionate. I am still early out of surgery (only a couple of months) but I am very pleased to date with how my healing is going and his wonderful bedside manner has continued through. I am also incredibly impressed with how he closed up my incisions - they are so fine and clean, and others I have shown his work too are similarly impressed. It seems I see many breast reconstructions where the "goal" is to look good in clothes, but Dr. Humphrey's seems to recognize the importance to women of looking good OUT of them as well. He obviously cares about his work. I know that in the future if I need any further surgeries related to my reconstruction I can trust him absolutely!

I have been a patient of Dr. Humphreys for 9 years. He cured me of skin cancer I had on my leg. It was the most severe cancer, a melanoma. He was the only doctor, including the nice doctors from the cancer centre, who asked me how I was dealing with my cancer diagnosis. He really cared. He did my cancer surgery quickly, within one month. Because of the type of surgery he had to do ( skin graft), it left me with a little scar. I decided a few years ago to go see Dr. Humphreys again and see if my scar could be improved. It sure could! He cut out the old skin graft scar and now my leg looks beautiful again! Now I go to the office to see Dr. Doug and Vanessa to make my face look younger. Their creams and lunchtime tricks make me look and feel great. Thanks Dr. Doug and team. You are the best!!

Dr. Humphreys took a skin lesion off my teenage son. His bedside manner was wonderful and his surgical technique meticulous. Kind, compassionate, easy to talk to, and a great surgeon! No hesitation to recommend.

I had a breast augment performed by Dr. Humphreys. He and his staff were excellent to deal with. The consult was thorough and I was not rushed. Dr. Humphreys was knowledable and made me comfortable with my decision. The staff in the OR were excellent as well. They made me feel safe and put me at ease. My results are amazing! I am so happy that I went with Dr. Humphreys. I would highly recommend him!!

Okay so here we go, I first went to visit Humphrey's in 2011 for breast augmentation and to even out the large difference in sizes of my breasts. I am trying to make this somewhat short so ill get to the point. I have gone in for surgery six times now!! and even after the six times he managed to make my right breast look like COMPLETE**** ! Please I'm warning you, do not trust him as your MD. He seems like a very smart guy who knows what he's doing, but I can assure you he is NOT! I do not want anyone feeling the way that I do now, even more depressed about my breast appearance then I did when I first seen him. My nipples now very are uneven as he decided to cut one of my nipples out and place it above where it should be. I was in the hospital for about two weeks because of an infection that he didn't care to take care of before it got even worse and into my blood stream. all I have to say is if you do not want your surgery bashed up DO NOT SEE HIM !!!! I will include pictures!!

When the World Food Programme (WFP) held a drawing contest for students who were part of WFP's global school meals programmes last year, three out of the 16 winning illustrations came from students in the Philippines. This year, five entries from the Philippines are competing for the 2015 Children's Design Competition. Read about the inspiration behind the drawings and how the school meals programme helps communities work towards Zero Hunger.
30 March 2015
Behind efforts to achieve Zero Hunger are humanitarian staff working tirelessly in the field or behind office desks. Here is the story of two women staff from the World Food Programme (WFP) Philippines, Haydee Balading and Charlyn Pendang, who contribute to addressing food and nutrition security in the country.
27 March 2015
When Typhoon Hagupit, locally known as Ruby, made its landfall in the province of Eastern Samar in the Philippines on 6 December 2014, many residents had never experienced a storm of such a scale. Melba Rivera and Wilmar Balagasay look back at the hardships they and their families endured and share how they have been rebuilding their lives after the storm through the help of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
13 March 2015
The province of Laguna, located a mere 30 kilometres outside the Philippines' capital of Manila, is exposed to a multitude of hazards, the primary of which is flooding. The overflow from Laguna de Bay − the province's largest lake – and inland rivers turn the farmlands into vast bodies of water due to heavy downpours, worsened by improper waste management. Over the years, flooding has damaged property, livelihoods, and the lives of the residences of the province.
9 March 2015
Disasters disproportionately affect the world's poorest people and communities, significantly increasing hunger and malnutrition. Hunger and malnutrition increase people's exposure to risk. Because of this, disaster risk reduction is a central priority for the World Food Programme.
Here are some key facts on the link between disasters and hunger.
6 March 2015
In the course of its work in the Philippines, the World Food Programme has crossed paths with many women who have shown strength and leadership in their respective communities in order to achieve Zero Hunger. This March -- Women's Month -- be inspired by their stories.
27 February 2015
In December 2014, Typhoon Ruby (international name: Hagupit) first hit the municipality of Dolores, Eastern Samar in the Philippines. Ma. Lourdes 'Ondith' Senina and Ana Helen Docabo, residents of Dolores, share their experience during Hagupit and how they have gotten back on their feet with assistance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the World Food Programme (WFP).
28 January 2015
Benguet is not a stranger to natural disasters – from earthquakes to typhoons – which have resulted in the loss of lives in the province. Benguet's experiences from these disasters cemented the belief that it is not enough to just be equipped when responding. Preparedness is equally important.
Meet some of the drivers of disaster resilience in the Province of Benguet. With the help of the World Food Programme's (WFP) Disaster Preparedness and Response and Climate Change Adaptation (DPR/CCA) Projects, they are moulding Benguet into a province that is equipped to prepare for and respond to disasters.
29 December 2014
From Ebola-hit countries in Africa to Syria, Iraq and the Philippines, food assistance played its part again this year in helping families get through emergencies. Here are 10 people in 10 different countries who received assistance in 2014 thanks to WFP's supporters – governments, companies and individuals.
17 December 2014
Providing timely assistance after a humanitarian emergency is one of the World Food Programme's (WFP) main goals. With the support of the United States Agency for International Development Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA), WFP was able to preposition food in strategic areas around the country before Typhoon Hagupit made landfall.

After the three main prime ministerial contenders clashed over economic and other issues in the third and final TV debate, Tory leader David Cameron came under fire for his immigration remarks.
The mainstream media, not least the BBC, has lapped up Gordon Brown's gaffe over the voter he called bigoted yesterday. But its portrayal of the incident has much more insidiously 'normalised' anti-immigrant prejudice - and that is not being talked about. It should be.
When we are told people are 'concerned about immigration', what this signals is a limited and misleading 'numbers game', says Vaughan Jones. Politicians and the media are missing the real global issues and ignoring the human cost of a failed consensus.
Progressive Christians in the US have branded a new law on migration a "social and racial sin".
An ippr report shows that claims that the presence of immigrants and ethnic minorities is 'causing' the rise of the BNP are false. Alienation and limited life chances are to blame.
The English Democrats have launched their manifesto, supporting an English Parliament, withdrawal from the EU and opposition to immigration.
Any remaining doubts I had about the nature of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) were dispelled today when they published their general election manifesto.

Gilas-China knockout duel looms
LIKE Filipino reporters who can talk to Gilas Pilipinas coaching staff in confidence and not let anything out, it seems like Chinese media know that both countries are headed to a collision course in the 27th Fiba Asia Championship quarterfinals.
The Inquirer joked around with a Chinese lady photographer covering the games yesterday, telling her to not let Yi Jianlian play their remaining games anymore and just let a slightly pulled hamstring and a hurting groin heal.
"Why, will Philippines win if Yi doesn't play?" the smiling photo journalist answered back inside the busy press room of Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
Yi is the foremost star in the Chinese roster, the last man from the Mainland to see significant action in the National Basketball Association and the one who strikes fear among all the countries in the 15-nation field.
"I think he will play," said the lady photog.
With the final rankings in group plays yet to be determined, it seems that China has already picked an opponent it feels it can play well against in the knockout stages starting Friday.
And the Gilas coaching staff is bracing itself.
"It seems to be that way," assistant coach Jong Uichico said. "Yes, he (Yi) will make a difference—if he plays or not."

Born: July 15, 1984
Alto saxophonist and composer Nick Mazzarella (b. 1984) has been a participant in Chicago's jazz, free jazz, improvised music, and rock scenes as a bandleader, sideman, and presenter since 2002. After completing his formal music education at DePaul University (Bachelor of Music 2006, Master of Music 2009), he began performing regularly with his own groups and with projects led by his peers at venues throughout the city and the United States. His efforts have been especially concentrated around the activities of his primary working band, the Nick Mazzarella Trio, the musician and presenter collective Umbrella Music, and the Ratchet Series, a grass roots effort to establish a performance haven for free jazz on the south side of Chicago. Equally at home in the worlds of the traditional and the avant-garde, Mazzarella maintains a continuous performance schedule encompassing a variety of musical contexts, but focuses the majority of his energy on the areas of composition-based free jazz and free improvisation. It is through his work in these stylistic mediums that Mazzarella has developed a distinctive voice....

Mark-up of beer prices too steep: Case
Watchdog's surveys find most F&B outlets charging more than expected
Published on Mar 13, 2014 8:41 AM
Two separate surveys have shown that most food and beverage vendors in various parts of the island have marked up their prices of beer beyond the calculated excise duty of 41 cents.
Only three of the 23 vendors surveyed on the price of a 633ml bottle of Tiger Beer, which was chosen for the surveys, did not raise its price beyond 41 cents.
Among the vendors which hiked up their prices, two outlets run by Kopitiam, the biggest food chain operator here, had the steepest price increase.
Its outlet at Serangoon North Ave 3 had a price increase of $1.30 for a bottle of Tiger Beer, from its original price of $5.50.

They may well be the last of the jodis of music composers (actually they are three) but Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonca proudly carry on the legacy of team work while creating music for cinema. Their movies always have a variety of songs be it Dil Chahta Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho, My Name Is Khan or recently released 2 States. In the times of one-month long chartbusters, SEL's music is a refreshing reprieve from remixes and ear-banging loud noise. In an interview, the trio talk about their latest hit, upcoming works and degradation of music. Read on...
The music of 2 States has been one of the best till now in the year…
It's a fun soundtrack. We haven't done a rom-com for a long time and this one was perfect. It was fun working with Abhishek and we took a long time coming up with the songs which is really good because you can work at a relaxed pace and be very objective about the work. The film and the music blended well and both went on to become a hit.
Which one is your favourite song in the movie?
Well I think this entire soundtrack is special each song hits a different emotion. Mast Magan and Chandaniya are special especially Chandaniya because it is a very different approach to what would typically be the 'sad song' in a film.
Much is said about today's generation's choice of music. Comment.
Well today's generation has exposure, almost over exposure, to different sounds and music that are happening all over the world, thanks to media and the most powerful being the Internet. The attention span is probably smaller because there is an information overload and only things which are special will really stand out. It gives composers the initiative to be more innovative and experimental while retaining melodic and compositional values which will appeal to people.
Do you agree that today's music has very small shelf life?
Well yes and now it all depends on the entire package how the music is and how it ties in with the film and how the film does. Albums like DCH, Kal Ho Na Ho etc are still very popular and have almost become catalog items. I think there all types of tunes that appeal to different people and different emotions. In the end there is good music and bad music and good music always is for the long run.
Do you think we are in fusion age now?
Fusion has been happening for years now from the 60s almost composers like RD Burman fused global music with Indian melodies. The same goes on now the palette has become larger there are so many different sounds and styles of music, the evolution of Electronic Dance Music and the new technology keeps adding the melting pot to create new sounds.
How is the music scene in India changing now? Is it for good or worse?
The music scene is good as long as people are appreciating good music. It would be sad if they got used to being dished out bad music. Change is always good people should be progressive in their listening and the composers have a responsibility to turn out good work which is progressive yet popular. In the bigger picture India has adopted new copyright laws which will encourage and respect composers and authors which is good
What do you think about rap songs which are topping the charts these days?
Well personal choices apart its a subjective thing but different strokes for different folks and the more the hits the better the music industry. A lot of the new songs have been mega hits which is really good. Its good to see people like Honey Singh rocking the charts his tunes are popular and well produced.
You guys have promoted many new singers, do you think music industry is now more open to new singers?
Well it is totally open to new singers because the music has become so varied there are so many more styles of music being composed and that requires different types of singers . Its a healthy environment for talent to get a break. It would be super if there were new avenues promoting non film music so singers would not be totally dependant on films to get their breaks.
Tell us about your upcoming work.
Our next release will be Shaad Ali's Kill Dill, we are working on Zoya Akhtars Dil Dhadakne Do, Swapnil Joshi's Marathi movie Mitwaaa, Subodh Bhave's Marathi epic Katyaar Kaljat Ghusli , a new film with Sunny Deol etc.

F-35 Engine work stopped
Tuesday - 3/29/2011, 9:30pm EDT
The Pentagon is stopping work on an new engine for the Air Force F-35 fighter jet. This engine was designed to be a back-up. The reason is because of money. The stoppage is expected to last for 90 days. There was no money included in President Obama's budget proposal for the next fiscal year for the project. But budget deliberations continue. Congress is split on the project. Some like, some don't. GE and Rolls Royce are the contractors.

How can I or even, can I, print more than one picture per sheet? Not more than one of the SAME picture, but DIFFERENT pictures on the same sheet. I did it with Photo Wizard before but so far I haven't figured this out with Win 8. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm guessing from the lack of response that this just can't be done in Win 8.

Your link covers simple printing which I'm perfectly capable of doing.
The question is can Win 8 print different pictures on one sheet. For example: I have 4 different pictures and I want one of each of them on one sheet of paper. Not 4 copies of the same picture. Can Win 8 do that?
I'm figuring - no.

What I do is create a new folder on the desktop. Copy and paste (or drag) the photos you wish to print to the folder. Open the folder, select all then right click and select print. The print pictures pane opens. On the right hand side select the amount of photos to print. For example for seven images I select the 'wallet' size that will print up to nine photos.

Just found an even easier method. Press the CTRL key when selecting photos, right click one of the highlighted pictures and select print, you go to the print pictures pane, then as above.

Another way is with Paint. Select a photo, right click and open with Paint. Reduce the size if required then drop the zoom to 25%. Expand the page from the photo so you see more white space.
Right click another photo and select to open with paint. Reduce the size if required. Again reduce the zoom ( at the bottom) to 25%. Easier to work with. Now select the 'select' icon at the top and using the cursor surround the photo and select copy or paste.
Back to the original Paint window and select paste. It will paste on top of the first photo so simply drag to the white space created earlier. You can carry on doing this for any amount of photos. This way you can see the print preview and adjust whatever is needed.

On average I weight about 148-49 lbs, though. I love to workout, but don't really have the time between wrestling and homework. So if anybody has anything out there on how to lose about 10-12 lbs SAFELY, i would love to hear it. Plus, I have a very big home gym, so if it requires exercise, I can proabably make it work. But other than that, if you have any dieting tips (i usually eat 5-6 meals a day to keep metabolism raised) i would love to hear them, thank!

Arrhythmia and dysrhythmia, which describe abnormal and irregular heartbeats, can happen to babies still in the womb. Some types of irregular and abnormal heartbeats are relatively benign and will not affect your baby at all; others types can cause mild or serious complications.
There are many types of arrhythmia and dysrhythmia, and they vary in severity:
Fetal tachycardia, which is the most common of these arrhythmias, occurs in about 1 out of 200 pregnancies. Many of these are fairly common and can be well-controlled with medication.
If your doctor suspects an arrhythmia after reviewing your routine ultrasound, he or she may request a fetal echocardiogram (ECHO), or an ultrasound of the fetus' heart. The ECHO shows the structure of the heart and evaluates the contractions in different chambers of the heart, which can help us confirm the diagnosis and decide on the best option for treatment.
Premature beats have very little, if any, effect on a fetus. Fetal tachycardia or bradycardia however, can cause heart failure either in the womb or at birth.
Bradycardia, if related to complete heart block needs to be closely followed in-utero to watch for development of heart failure. Mothers with autoimmune disease, and specific antibodies can be at risk for this. The antibodies can cross the placenta and damage the conduction system of the baby's heart.
Supraventricular tachycardia may require treatment before birth, because it can result in heart failure. Typically, mothers are hospitalized and started on medicines that can cross to the baby and help control the heart rate. After delivery, these babies are generally monitored and on medication for six months. Many tolerate coming off the medicine without recurrence. For mothers who are on medication for their baby's heart, our team at the Fetal Care Institute will monitor your baby closely during the pregnancy, and help coordinate a delivery plan.
Most babies with arrhythmia can be delivered normally at full-term. With some more severe forms of arrhythmia, though, your baby may need to be delivered early or via C-section. At the Fetal Care Institute, we monitor your baby closely during delivery to minimize complications and make state-of-the-art care available immediately. In most cases, after delivery, your baby will be given medication and treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). With more severe arrhythmias, such as severe bradycardia and complete heart block, your baby may need a pacemaker implanted.
Overall, if treated early, the long-term prognosis for most arrhythmias is quite good—most of these cases have excellent outcomes. Most babies with tachyarrhythmia will need to be on medication for the first six months of their lives to regulate their heartbeats. After that, they will need regular follow-up visits with a cardiologist to monitor their progress, but will likely lead normal and healthy lives. In the case of bradycardia that require surgery or a pacemaker, the prognosis is still very good—most treatments are successful, and in most cases, these children lead normal and healthy lives as well.

Young people, thank you so much for your hard work to make this video. It is great to see so many of you with strong testimonies, with joy and enthusiasm. Watching it was heart warming and emotional. I did not join the Church until I was 40 years old and so did not have this kind of experience growing up. I am now 76 yrs old. Bless all of you and those adults who contributed so much time and effort to help you through the process.

In general a good product that I enjoy wearing. The sizing is good and they are smart but casual. I have just one niggle and that's the size of the opening on the leg. I expect it's more of a personal thing but I prefer a opening an inch or two wider. As a product I can't fault it though.

(I do not mean to be judgemental. I know wonderful people with medical and other good reasons for not co-sleeping, so I am more directing this query at our culture in general than at any one family's sleeping arrangements.)
I suspect the assumed choice between baby and marriage is one of the biggest factors in families choosing not to co-sleep. I have friends who weren't even allowed into their parent's room during the day because of the perceived need to protect the sacredness of their parent's marriages. While that is more extreme than not allowing your child into your room at night, it's still an extension of the same idea.
I am fearful of the consequences for a child who grows up believing that his needs are in direct competition with his parent's marriage. Often, the continuation of the parents' relationship is part of the child's own sense of security, so wouldn't a child who believes her very existence threatens her parents' union feel some pressure not to express all her needs, or to learn how express them in manipulative ways?
We have been presented with a terrible (and I believe false) choice. Our marriage or the baby. One must be sacrificed every night.
It's a false choice because it's based on the idea that our lives can be neatly (with medical precision) divided into different personas which must be addressed in turn. While we all have many different roles, and obviously switch between them, I feel the idea of 'protecting the marriage bed' goes farther than asking us to switch between roles. It asks us to switch between personas. It requires us to stop being a mother in order to be a wife -- but I feel being a wife and mother are two different and important roles acted out by the SAME person.
In every relationship, there is a balance between separateness and oneness, between individuality and community. But I do not believe that I have to pretend not to be married in order to achieve that balance in my relationship with my spouse. When we hide the baby in another room, are we are pretending not to have a child?
I believe we can balance these roles without viewing them as competing personas. I go out alone with girlfriends when I need a break, we get a sitter for our little one when my husband and I need a date, we set aside adult time in the evening to be together elsewhere in the house while the baby sleeps in our bed. I'm one person with many roles and I don't have to sacrifice anything.
In addition, how much healthier is it for our children to see us model a balanced lifestyle, meeting our own needs and theirs, without creating a scenario in which people must compete with each other for a limited amount of affection and attention?
In conclusion, if your marriage can't survive a baby in your bed at night, it probably can't survive a baby in your life during the day. One hundred percent of what goes on between us and our spouses that builds or detracts from the happiness of our marriages happens during our waking hours, not when we're sleeping soundly at night. But that is not true of our young children, many of whom need us close at night and need us to learn, for their sakes, how to balance our different roles without sacrificing a part of ouselves.

I think you do have to sacrifice a bit in order to co-sleep. Is it a marriage destroying amount, no, not in a healty marriage. When my kids were in bed with me our sex life required a bit more creativity. There were times when, yeah sex sounded good but not good enough to go thru the process of extricating myself from bed at 2 am and moving to another room, etc...
Now that DH & I have our bed to ourselves again, sex is more spontaneous. It often happens in the middle of the night, after Ive slept enough to have the energy for it. I wake to delicious sensations and it progresses from there - fluidly. That just isnt possible with a baby, much less a preschooler, in bed. I do in fact look forward to when my children have vacated our room at night, not just our bed.
I do think it's interesting that you mention the stability of the marriage affecting the child since Ive often seen comments here stating that a partner refusing to cosleep or share a room is something of a deal breaker....
i guess i'm just lucky. of the other couples that we know that co-sleep, the dads hate it but the mamas are adament. the dads are good friends of dh and gave him an earful. so, he was open to it from the start (because he knows how much i research) but i was braced for the time when he got tired of it. the opposite has happened, dd went from sleeping between me and the wall to between the two of us, and we're both very happy.
that being said, yes, it's a bit of a compromise. we find other places to have sex. but we also don't fall asleep talking anymore and i thought that was really special.
i guess i just feel like the years the kids are in our bed are still such a small percentage of our parenting and our marriage yet can do SO much good. it's totatlly worth it to us.

right, because mom getting up 6 times in the middle of the night to feed the baby doesn't affect her ability (or desire) to stay awake for sex you know.

And on a lighter note...why does most of America believe that sex has to take place in the bed? Really, folks, let's get a little more creative - there are other rooms in the house!

I always find the cosleeping and sex argument so bizarre. I don't know who these people are who only have sex in a bed.
I hear this sentiment a lot around here. I am one of those people
I am a person who gets more "into" it when I am in a safe, comfortable place. The brain is the biggest sex organ, after all, and mine works best in my personal bedroom.
We've been cosleeping for 7+ years. And, yes, it has taken a toll on our intimacy. Our marriage has survived, but we are very much looking forward to the days when both of our dc are sleeping in their own beds!
I always find the cosleeping and sex argument so bizarre. I don't know who these people are who only have sex in a bed.
I think it makes our marriage more exciting because we *have* to find somewhere else to have sex Before it was always just bed, bed, boring bed
Exactly! Um, there are other places to have sex! In fact, we have added so much spice to our married life by finding creative spots all over the place! I find it way more fun than just the ol' roll over and go at it, LOL! I'm sorry, but once I'm in bed I'm sleeping, lol!!!
I guess what I'm wondering is, how many couple's pre-baby "marriage bed" is just all sex, all night long? 'Cause ours is like Sexy Bed for a little bit, but Cuddly Bed Where a Baby Could Fit Right In like 95% of the time... (And I think we're not so different than the norm as far as that goes!)

Our children make a study of us in a way no one else ever will. If we don't act according to our values, they will know.~Starhawk New User Agreement! http://www.mothering.com/community/wiki/user-agreement
When DS was still in our bed I would feel DH initiate and I couldnt just go with it - I had to put my sensuality on hold long enough to manouver myself away from DS without him waking, sometimes requiring several attempts, and then get out of our warm bed and into another room. Sometimes it could take 5-10 minutes. By that time my arousal had faded a bit. And sometimes I wasnt horny enough to make it worth the effort. And then as we DTD I couldnt stop myself from keeping an ear out to hear if DS had noticed I was gone.
Now, if DH initiates, it happens very smoothly and I enjoy it more. No thinking, just feeling. So yeah, we still had a good sex life while Co-Sleeping. But sex without any planning involved is amazing - for me anyway.
Jam 7, Peanut Butter 5, and Bread 2.
Of course you can have sex in other places. We did for nearly 4 years. But there is something special about being woken or waking your partner in the middle of the night, getting all heated up, and the letting it happen where you are. Without having to stop and think about it.
That said, we love our new futon.
DCP to 1 busy munchkin! and a CRST too!
It doesn't take a bed to have sex- it takes a happily married committed couple to have sex. NO bed needed- And actually sometime we like the idea that we leave them all safe and sound in the bed- and go someplace else (in the house) and have sex.
Just my 2 cents
That said, we still use some of our old fave spots from our cosleeping days, places we probably wouldnt have thought of otherwise, so that was a fringe benefit of having DS in bed with us.
Now, sleep deprivation... that's a whole different story! And it would most certainly be worse if I had been getting out of bed every 3 hours, every night, for the last 3 years. So really co-sleeping has improved our chances of getting some intimate time together since it's one of the few times DH and I are in the same place, at the same time, without the need to check on the girls or even think about other stuff.
I guess in general I agree that a marriage that is strong enough to survive children is strong enough to survive co-sleeping. And my personal opinion is that children and co-sleeping both have the potential to make that marriage relationship stronger rather than weaker.

I can forsee that even if we weren't planning on co-sleeping or "rooming in" with our babies, we would have to "schedule" sex. Between feedings, diaper changes, rocking the baby to sleep, cleaning the apartment, running errands, cooking dinner, etc - I'm going to be TIRED when DH gets home - even if I didn't have FMS.
Well said!
And on a lighter note...why does most of America believe that sex has to take place in the bed? Really, folks, let's get a little more creative - there are other rooms in the house!
Plus....that's where all my *stuff* is plugged in at....
I remember a friend saying that another couple I know wanted to have another baby, but they just could never DTD because their DD was in bed with them, I believed her at the time, now I scoff at that, you can't find another place? I have to agree with the PP's that the biggest thing that kills a sex life after a child is SLEEP DEPRIVATION, I can say that this has been a big factor for DH and me, we're both freaking tired. When 9pm hits all I want to do is go to bed and sleep. DH uses this time to have some alone time, that's just life.
My step-sis is one of those co-sleep *haters* she is always saying that DD will never leave the bed, she'll sleep with us forever. She also measured every oz of her son's food and fed on a schedule, so I definitely don't agree with her parenting style, and it's really none of hers(or anyones) business what is happening in my household sleep routine. I love that DD sleep with us, sometimes she can drive us crazy but most of the time it's wonderful, and if we *really* need our bed to DTD, we let her get up on Sat. am and watch a DVD, and get our time alone.
I do think that co-sleeping means that a couple makes sacrifices when it comes to intimacy. People often say that you can "do it anywhere" but well, first of all, my DH works all day and we don't get a lot other other moments besides in bed and secondly, I don't equate intimacy with just sex. That time spent alone in bed, cuddling, sharing thoughts, worries, etc., some of that is just plain lost when you have a kid lying between you or beside the bed.
I also do believe that it is not a question of the kids taking second place to the marriage. I think the kids' best interests DEPEND on a good relationship between husband and wife. I don't think any child would prefer to live in a home where mommy and daddy have lost touch with each other.
Wombatclay made an excellent point. it doesnt matter if your kid is in a crib in a sound proof room across the hall - if you are too tired you are too tired. So I will qualify my prior post by clarifying that that was all once I was past the too tired to breathe stage...
We've gotten to the point where we have more ... umm ... interludes now with 3 kids than we ever did with no kids, and we're 110% convinced it's because we've learned to be creative since there are kids in our bed. I have a Body By Jake ab machine that no one uses but I can't get rid of because it's "special" to my firstborn son. He doesn't know it, but we do. LOL!!

California Citizens Compensation Commission
The CCCC was established by California Proposition 112 (1990).
California Proposition 1F (May 2009) prevents the CCCC from increasing the salaries of California's non-federal elected officials when there is a state budget deficit.
The CCCC has seven members. The members are appointed by the Governor of California to six-year terms.
The Commission is required to meet by June 30 of each year to decide what changes to make, if any, the following December. Actions of the Commission are effective on a December-to-December basis.
Gil Cedillo lawsuit
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
In May 2009, the CCCC voted for an 18% cut in pay and benefits. The cuts took place in December 2009, resulting in a reduction of the salary of state legislators by $20,917/year and a reduction in the pay received by the state's top 12 officials of at least $28,644.[1]
Gil Cedillo then filed a complaint with California's Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, saying that the pay cut exceeded the legal authority of the CCCC, specifically arguing that the California Constitution prohibits legislative pay from being cut in the middle of a lawmaker's term, and that the CCCC lacks the authority to cut the legislative per diem, as it did, from $173 to $142 per day.[1]
In January 2011, the Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board denied Cedillo's claim.[1]
2012 rift over role
Jerry Brown appointed labor attorney Thomas Dalzell to the chairmanship of the CCCC in 2012. He said that the CCCC overstepped its bounds in 2011 when it voted to eliminate taxpayer-funded vehicles for lawmakers. Dalzell said that in general he does not believe that the CCCC has the right to regulate or change the per diem payments received by members of the California State Legislature and, instead, must confine itself to dictating their salaries only. The per diem payments extended to members of the state legislature come to about $30,000 per legislator per year.[2]
