Babushkas vs. Putin
In February 1917 bread riots, led by women, many of them elderly, broke out in the center of St. Petersburg. The protests quickly led to the sudden collapse of the czarist regime and eventually, later that year, to the Bolshevik Revolution.
In January 2005 few Russians anticipate actual revolution--or even a change in Kremlin leadership. But in one of the most significant developments in Russia since 1998, when disgruntled coal miners went on strike and blocked railroad tracks to protest unpaid wages, thousands of pensioners are demonstrating across the country, protesting the abolition of a wide range of social benefits. What makes these protests potentially more powerful than those of 1998 is that so many Russian families have a pensioner--often a beloved babushka caring for the grandchildren. And adding poignancy to these developments, many are World War II veterans, whom Putin had promised less than a month before to honor during this sixtieth anniversary year of the Soviet victory.
The source of the pensioners' anger is a law that came into force on January 1 replacing longstanding social benefits--free public transportation and healthcare as well as heavily subsidized medicine, rent, utilities and other basic services--with inadequate monthly cash payments. The new legislation affects the most vulnerable, Russia's 34 million pensioners, veterans and disabled people. The spreading protests, the largest, angriest and most passionate since Putin came to power in 2000, began quietly on January 9 and now stretch from Russia's Far East to Moscow and even to Putin's hometown, the still-iconic capital of 1917, St. Petersburg. On January 10 pensioners blocked the highway from Moscow's city center to one of its main international airports; the Russki Kurier newspaper reported that "the angered old people had to be dispersed with the help of the paramilitary forces." By that weekend, an estimated 10,000 pensioners and veterans jammed the streets of St. Petersburg. In a sign of the pensioners' radicalization, many are now linking political demands to their calls that benefits be restored; at the St. Petersburg march, protesters shouted "Shame!" "Power to the People!" and "Putin--resign!" Similar protests have erupted in scores of towns and cities, and at most of them people have massed in the main square calling for Putin's resignation.
So far the security forces have barely intervened, and--ominous for the government--there are reports that in several towns local military and police joined the protesters. There have also been outbreaks of violence. In Nizhny Novgorod two pensioners beat up a female trolley conductor, and according to Channel 3 TV, dozens of trolley conductors across the country have been assaulted. Perhaps because these protests are hard to hide, Russia's normally tightly controlled television has broadcast striking images of crowds of angry elderly women squaring off against policemen.
The conventional view is that these spontaneous and somewhat chaotic protests will not pose a serious challenge to the stability of Putin's regime--unless, through strategic leadership and ties to opposition parties, the pensioners' protests ignite a general strike. Yet that view ignores the fact that few anticipated the ferocity of these protests. As late as December, a respected Russian analyst argued that "the Russian masses, even the most destitute, have not sent any signal of their determination to confront the regime." On the other hand, for months, leading opposition commentators and politicians have talked about "the despair syndrome," suggesting that Russia is on the verge of an explosion. In December, fiery nationalist Alexander Prokhanov characterized the situation as "pre-revolutionary," and he has called for Putin's removal.
It's clear that the deepening political and economic crisis threatens Putin's Teflonlike popularity. In one poll taken a few days into the protests, 97 percent of people blamed Putin for the crisis. Another showed that trust in his leadership has plummeted. "Putin may have been adept at liquidating his political opposition as well as the institutions that limit his presidency's power," a Russian commentator observed, "but he forgot about Russia's people."
The central question now is, Will pensioners be joined by other (including younger) discontented segments of Russian society--unpaid schoolteachers, miners, soldiers, doctors and university students, whose already meager stipends are also being cut? In the past few years teachers and doctors have staged small-scale strikes over unpaid or miserly wages, and nearly destitute officers and soldiers are also grumbling about new cuts in their medical and housing benefits.
On January 17 the Kremlin broke its panicky silence: Putin promised a moderate increase in pensions and blamed federal and regional officials for poor implementation of the changes. But the government's token concessions have done little to assuage pensioners or defuse the protests. A leading parliamentary deputy has predicted, "The demonstrations will reach their peak in February, when people will have to pay their utility bills for the first time."
Another February revolution? Unlikely. But for now, the elderly of Russia are showing that they've had it with a government that treats them without the dignity they've earned. Babushkas of Russia--Unite!

Lahore: Deposed Pakistan Premier Nawaz Sharif had some unexpected visitors at his home here — Indian Sikh pilgrims from his ancestral village near Amritsar.
The Sikhs from Jati Umra village, who are in Pakistan to participate in celebrations marking the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, made a beeline for Mr. Sharif's home in the Model Town area on Monday.
Some of them told the PML(N) chief, who returned to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia on Sunday, that their joy had doubled after learning that he was back home safely from exile. Mr. Sharif's father, Mian Sharif Mohammad, had migrated to Pakistan at the time of Partition in 1947 from Jati Umra, a village near Amritsar. — PTI

Applauds Merck's Leadership and Calls for Reinvigorated Effort to Design
and Test AIDS Vaccines
NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (AVAC) released the following statement from Executive Director Mitchell Warren about the announcement that vaccinations have been discontinued in the STEP Study, a test-of-concept trial of the MRK-Ad5 AIDS vaccine candidate developed by the Merck Research Laboratories:
"Today's announcement about the STEP Study is a deep disappointment and a scientific setback for the AIDS vaccine field. However, it must be seen for what it is: the failure of a product to show efficacy in a specific trial. Clinical testing of AIDS vaccines is a scientific process and, while this is a disappointment, it is in no way the end of the search for an AIDS vaccine.
"These data are certainly not the ones that we had hoped for. The entire HIV vaccine field, including AVAC, had been looking to STEP and its companion Phambili trial in South Africa, to provide initial evidence of vaccine-related benefits. Even as the data disappoint, we also note the success of the STEP Study trial design in providing a swift answer to the critical question of whether or not the vaccine provided any benefits. A successful clinical trial is one that produces a scientifically accurate result. It may not be the result you had hoped for, but it answers questions that help the field move forward.
"We applaud Merck's tremendous leadership on HIV vaccine research. The
company has set an example for the field, taking on one of the most
important health technology challenges of our time. Merck and its
collaborator, the US NIH-funded HIV Vaccine Trials Network, have been
committed, strategic and willing to take risks at every stage of evaluating
MRK-Ad5, and they must be commended for this. AVAC also recognizes the
contributions of the thousands of volunteers in these trials. Their

19.01.06 - Frank Warren today announced Frank Maloney will be released from his exclusive consultancy agreement in January 2006, although fighters currently managed by Frank Maloney including Scott Harrison, Andy Morris and Gary Young etc. will continue to be exclusively promoted by Sports Network..
Frank Maloney will continue to work closely with Sports Network in furthering the careers of these fighters.
Frank Warren commented: "Frank has worked as a consultant with Sports Network during the past 5 years and I would like to personally thank him for his efforts on behalf of Sports Network. We look forward to continuing to promote these great young boxers managed by Frank and continuing our close relationship. We wish Frank all success in the pursuit of his private interest in the world of boxing."
Frank Maloney commented: "I have enjoyed my time working with the team at Sports Network and Frank Warren but have come to the decision that it is now time for me to move on. Even though I managed the World Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis, I learnt far more about the promotional side of the business through working alongside Frank. I will continue to achieve the best for my fighters that are contracted with Sports Network like Scott Harrison plus future world champions in the making Andy Morris and Gary Young. I would like to thank everyone at Sports Network for making my five years there enjoyable and I remain on good terms with everyone."

In a reality check conducted by Zee's primetime news show dna, the team at Zee reveals the ugly side/flavour of the food served by the Indian Railways.
The conditions of the pantries inside our trains is just as worse as the toilets. Unclean, stinky and unhygienic. When reporters entered the pantries, they realised that the food served to the passengers comes from a horribly messed-up kitchen with food scattered around and foul smell from stale food enveloping the air within.
The water used to cook food looks contaminated and the cooks who prepare the meals do not use gloves or other safety measures either.
The ugly truth about the conditions in which the food we consume while commuting via the railways can make one squeamish.

We took a look at a PC2-7200 kit from OCZ last year and it proved to be one of the best kits we've ever laid our mitts on. Today we are taking a look at another PC2-7200 kit, approved and branded by NVIDIA. Are we going to be impressed once again?
When OCZ first released their XTC heatspreaders in late 2005, who knew what was to follow? Since that time, we've seen many spreaders based off of the XTC and some entirely new ones, such as the Flex XLC and Reaper HPC. The kit we are looking at today takes care of something I've wanted ever since I first laid eyes on the XTC… the color. To me, nothing looks cooler than black, whether it be the product itself or the PCB. Sadly, the PCB on these modules are not the same color as the spreader… but hey, we can't have it all.
Last year, I had taken a look at an incredibly similar kit to this one. In fact, it has the same specs, the only difference is the black spreader. It was not until I received these new ones that I realized how similar they were. This could be a good thing though. The Platinum 7200 was one of my favorite kits of last year. They looked great and offered extreme performance for the price. I am hoping to be equally impressed today.
One thing you might notice right away is that these are "SLI-Ready" modules. What does that mean to you, the consumer? Not to steal thunder from OCZ, but not much of anything. It means that NVIDIA has taken a look at these modules and certified them for use in NVIDIA motherboards. As you'd expect, NVIDIAs own EPP technology can be found here, which are profiles within the SPD that is used to safely overclock.
When it comes to special memory kits that OCZ offers, they don't use their usual orange-backed graphics but instead new product specific ones. The past few kits I've taken a look at feature cool abstract art which really helps make the product stand out and appear modern. Kudos to their designers.
Because these are specially branded modules, the OCZ "Z" in the center has been replaced with the NVIDIA SLI READY badge. It looks good, because it's a brushed aluminum badge and not some boring sticker. These will look great in any PC… especially if you use NVIDIA products. For ATI fans, OCZ also offers ATI Certified kits with red heatspreaders, but they only come in PC2-5400 and PC2-6400 flavours.
These are great looking modules, I really dig the color. I am glad they chose black instead of NVIDIA green… I am not sure how well that would have worked.
For those who were wondering, yes, there actually is a badge on each side of the module.
Onward to overclocking and testing.

By Andrew Sachais
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The chaos that has hit the markets recently highlights the importance of program trading and volatility. When enough variables shape up to signal a bearish environment, heavy selloffs are the result.
The retail trader needs to be aware enough to see these environments shaping up and position accordingly. Intermarket trend analysis is a way of sifting through relative movements and understanding where markets are looking to go.
Monday looked like a perfect storm, starting with weak GDP in the East and ending with apparent acts of terror in the West. The Chinese data highlighted that our global recovery is moderate, despite the recent, rapid rises in equity.Weak data out of the major economic powers China, U.S. and eurozone signal a flight out of risk. In the currency arena this is seen in a flight to the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen. They are liquid currencies and are usually sold during carry trades for higher-yielding currencies such as the Australian dollar. When the pair trades out, the dollar and yen are bought back, giving rise to demand for the two. Courtesy of stockcharts.com The major decline in currencies is partially due to dented optimism in global growth, but also the waning patience of inflation expectations. It looks like consistent and significant months of growth will be the only thing to make inflation a legitimate threat. The chart above shows the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (UUP) over an equal-weighted CRB commodities basket, the PowerShares DB Commodities Index Tracking Fund (DBC). The breakout yesterday of the ratio signals the move towards such a risk-off environment.
Although we have yet to experience major equity selloffs and a break of the uptrend, the U.S. market is positioning defensively. Utility stocks, as measured by the Utilities SPDR (XLU) ETF, have been outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) recently, which signals the flight to stability over risk. Another indicator is the iShares Russell 2000 Index (IWM) over the iShares Russell 1000 Index (IWB). This ratio correlates positively with risk assets, and has shown major weakness lately. Again, equities have yet to falter considerably but the intermarket trends signal an impending intermediate bearish turn. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

The layout of the kitchen and dining area was perfect for a group gathering. The bathrooms were not as modern as the kitchen, but they were clean/good condition.
It was very icy that weekend, but the owners had a huge bucket of fast-acting melting salt. It made the walk-way safe. The price was reasonable and the owners had five out of five start customer service. Would recommend!

Login Errors Not Consistently Appearing On Customer Log In Page
Posted 17 July 2014 - 11:36 AM
The "System" plugin contains more functionality than simply the Limit Login Attempts plugin, but I cannot disable it as it is a "Must-Use" plugin (mu-plugins) and it would run locally. I've disabled all other plugins except iThemes Exchange and the "System" plugin.
I tested the log in on multiple computers and browsers. While the error messages may appear correctly once, they fail to appear the remaining times.
The site's Customer Log In page is currently located at http://804.94f.myftpupload.com/?account=1&log-in=1 because I've reset permalinks to their default.
Posted 17 July 2014 - 01:50 PM
Can you contact Media Temple and see if they can deactivate the System plugin, even just temporarily? That way you can at least see if that plugin is creating the issue or not.
Let us know what they say after you contact them.
Posted 05 August 2014 - 12:02 PM
Posted 05 August 2014 - 12:09 PM
I'm glad you were able to narrow down the culprit. Let us know what you hear from your host about the plugin.

"The PHP file object-cache.php that comes with the Premium WordPress hosting service is controlled by the hosting service and should not be changed. When changes are made, they will be overwritten at a later time. At the present time, I can confirm that the current object-cache.php that you have for [your server] is the default file."
So, I am not sure what to do next. Exchange still functions properly, but if a user fails a login attempt on the Customer Log In page the error messages will not appear.

What's Up with the Smart Card E-Passport?
December 13, 2005
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
I've heard the talk. Next year we'll be using new e-Passports, which include an integrated computer chip capable of storing biographic info, a digital photo, and other biometric info. Bye, bye familiar, friendly little passports. I guess the hard copy pages of stamps and visas (and the bragging rights associated with accumulating them) are becoming obsolete. Though we'll be able to use our current passports until they expire, I hope. But I'm a little scared about these Smart Cards. This opens a whole new can of worms about privacy concerns, and the security of the stored information. Know anything more? Fill me in!
Chicago's Holiday Happenings
The Trib's Metromix has it covered. From the glogg-saturated St. Lucia Day celebration at the Swedish American Museum Center to the Pre-Kwanzaa Party in the South Shore, the windy city's full of unique cultural happenings this holiday season.
Kayaking the Caribbean in Style with Arawak Expeditions
No hotel space in the Caribbean this winter? Sleep on the beach! Experience the beauty and blissful Caribbean sunshine of the Virgin Islands from a kayak, with Arawak Expeditions. A small, family-run outfitter based in St. John, Arawak was the first company offering sea-kayaking tours around St. John, and they know their territory. With years of experience, Arawak uses the best technology and equipment in leading environmentally-friendly tours in the Virgin Islands National Park. With gourmet meals—prepared nightly on the deserted beach-- to boot. The snorkeling is remarkable, in secluded, untouristed locations. This is adventure travel at its finest. A sample five-day itinerary starts in Peter Island, then involves gentle paddling from island to island, including: Pelican Island, Norman Island, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay, Lovango Cay, St. John.
Trees of Hope Campaign at The Peninsula Hotels
The holidays are upon us, and for the second consecutive year, The Peninsula Hotels has organized the "Trees of Hope" charity campaign in each of its hotels around the world. They've got gorgeous trees set up in their hotel lobbies, and guests are invited to purchase an ornament to hang on the tree. One hundred percent of the funds are donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses. (You can also sample the "Teas of Hope" or "Tree of Hope" cocktails in each hotel, and support the cause.) Live in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Manila, Beijing, Beverly Hills, Chicago or New York, or planning a visit? Get yourself to the Peninsula and help deck that tree!
Le Meridien Continues Central Europe Expansion
Le Meridien has announced its first hotel addition since becoming part of Starwood Hotels and Resorts this November. The new five-star Le Royal Meridien Prague, located in a listed building currently used by a bank in the city's Old Town, is due to open in early 2009 and will be the company's sixth hotel in Central Europe.
German Hotel Restaurant Friedrich-Franz Awarded Michelin Star
The Michelin Guide Deutschland 2006 has distinguished the "White Town by the Sea," bestowing an award on the gourmet restaurant Friedrich-Franz in the Kempinski Grand Hotel Heiligendamm. Head chef Tillmann Hahn opened the restaurant in June 2004. The guy's culinary motto? "One cuisine, four aspects." Thus four creative menus-- utilizing the best products from the region and the world—range from Classique, Exotique, Mediterranee, and vegetarian Menu Jardiniere. Framed by the Baltic Sea, the beach and dense forests, the hotel is now blanketed in wintry charm.
Paris' Hotel Le Bristol to Appeal Fine
The French authorities were peeved at the apparent price-fixing schemes and collusion between the big Parisian luxury hotels, and slapped them with a big fine. Now Le Bristol is appealing the EUR 81,000 fine, claiming the information exchange was purely related to average revenues. Hmm, that makes sense. Good luck guys.
Spotted! Eva Longoria at the Hotel Crescent Court Spa
Eva lounged with her man, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs, on a recent retreat. What's so keen about the Crescent Court? This Rosewood Hotel is close to all that's cool in Dallas, its boldly colored European style bedrooms the height of luxury, and is home to both a Nobu restaurant and a fabulous spa. Did Eva indulge in a Shea Butter Body Polish or Hotter N' Texas Summer Rock Massage?

Cancun is Ready
Mexican Pres. Vicente Fox is even planning a flag-waving ceremony to advertise the resort area's reopening after that nasty hurricane. But, the Washington Post queries, how ready is it? The resorts to the south, in Tulum and Playa del Carmen, are faring better than treeless Cancun, where about half the town's 27,000 available hotel rooms are open, and a lot of resorts are sadly scarred by eroded beaches.
Sir Rocco Forte Receives Leader in Luxury Award
I told you these guys were good. They just scored big at the seventh annual Luxury Travel Expo today in Vegas, where Sir Rocco Forte—Chairman and Chief Executive of Rocco Forte Hotels—received the Leaders in Luxury Award. His collection of truly exemplary luxury hotels are expanding aggressively across Europe, with hotel openings scheduled for England, Germany and Prague. (The plan—hallelujah!-- is to cover all major European cities.)

Guest ranch is a bucolic gateway to majestic national park
If you go
What: Zion Mountain Ranch
Where: 9065 W. State Route 9, Mount Carmel, Utah 84755
Info and reservations: www.zmr.com or (866) 648-2555
Rates: Buffalo Vista Champagne Suite is $199 a night April 1 to Oct. 31; $141 during low season. Check website for other cabin prices.
Room tip: Ask for a cabin along the buffalo fence (ours was No. 154). Some cabins are adjacent to the road across the highway.
Dining: On-site Buffalo Grill or nearby East End Pizza; otherwise restaurants are about a half-hour drive. We cooked on a ranch-provided hot plate in our kitchenette outfitted with microwave, mini-fridge and dishes.
What: Zion National Park
Where: On State Route 9 in Springdale, Utah 84767
Info: www.nps.gov/zion or (435) 772-3256
Entrance fee: Seven-day car pass $25; lifetime senior pass for all national parks $10.
Explore further: Bryce Canyon National Park is 78 miles from Zion's east gate; the Grand Canyon is 150 miles.
ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah After a day hiking Zion's ravishing red rock canyons, we were home on the range, relaxing on the porch swing of our log cabin and loving the whole Little House on the Prairie vibe. Then, just like the evening before, we saw them in the far distance — a majestic herd of buffalo traversing a meadow's ridge. Soon, the graceful behemoths slowly migrated in a long, spread-out, straggly procession until 52 hump-shouldered creatures plodded past our porch and one-by-one dramatically waded into a nearby watering hole.
Wow! My first-ever visit to Zion was a terrific two-in-one vacation. Staying outside park boundaries at Zion Mountain Ranch — a 600-acre buffalo preserve with never-ending grasslands and a wide-open sky — was like homesteading in the Old West. Adding to the ambience was a cast of animal characters: a lone, old, black-and-white cow named Spot who comically roams all day with the buffalo; a trio of marshmallow-obsessed miniature horses who nuzzled s'mores-making guests at the communal campfire, and two gadabout clucking hens who amusingly pecked around our kitchenette floor.
Although isolated, the pastoral ranch is just three miles from the less-traveled east gate of Zion National Park. So after a short trip, the terrain totally changes and you're stunningly surrounded by soaring sandstone spires and chiseled-by-nature mighty monoliths. Photos don't begin to convey what it's like to experience this salmon-beige-and-brick-hued geological wonder boasting heavenly landmarks such as Towers of the Virgin and Cathedral Mountain (Mormons first settled here in the 1860s), and sheltering cottonwood forests, lush hanging gardens, and silvery waterfalls.
A hiker's haven, you can enjoy easy paved walks or go for thrills — in the spring, adventurers rented "dry suits" and special shoes to slog through The Narrows, a celebrated "trail" that is actually the Virgin River cutting through a spectacular tapered gorge. For about two-thirds of 16 miles, you can be in water that is freezing, waist-deep or requires you to swim. Landlubbers might prefer Angels Landing, a 2.7-mile climb up nearly 1,500 feet and equipped with chains to grab onto during the final huff-and-puff leg alongside sheer dizzying drop-offs (advice: don't look down!). The trailhead's posted warning may induce wobbly knees — "6 people have died falling from the cliffs" — but at the summit, you'll exhilaratingly inhale the out-of-this-universe panorama.

if your line is as unstable as you say then switching to fast will make it even worse - you were on fast at end of last month so line must have been dropping for it to change to interleaved - still your choice
on 10-04-2012 18h28
I had a perfectly stable Fast profile on my ADSL line a while ago and overnight it lost about 4meg, checked the router and it had dropped to Interleave error correction profile, there was 0 wrong with Fast at all, it was not unstable, when talking to the technicians they said a problem with the exchanged had dropped the profile
I was only a week or so away from Infinity so just waited for that instead, but just to point out there is not always an unstable problem on the line that causes Interleaving to be switched on
Personally I would prefer fast unstable than the joke that is interleaved

Ricky Gervais' future as an awards show host may be up in the air – but at least, he's got an "Office" job to fall back on.
The British funnyman will guest star on the January 27 episode of "The Office," NBC has confirmed to Access Hollywood.
Of course, as the star and creator of the UK version of the show, which eventually spawned the Steve Carell-starring U.S. series, Ricky (who also holds an executive producer credit on the NBC series) is no stranger to the franchise.
A David Brent (Ricky's character in the UK series) and Michael Scott (Steve's character) face-off has long been rumored, and according to New York Magazine's Vulture blog, the episode was shot back in September when Ricky was in town for the Emmys.
However, fans may not want to get too excited for a heavy dose of David Brent.
U.S. "The Office" star and producer Paul Lieberstein – who plays Toby – told Vulture that fans won't want to look away during the first few moments of the episode.
"It's a little more than if you blink, you'll miss it, but if you don't set your TiVo right, you'll miss it," Paul revealed.
In addition, don't expect a Dunder-Mifflin showdown between the small screen's best two paper pushers.
"It's outside of the office, and it's just the two of them interacting," Paul added. "It's just a little nod to Steve and his final year."
According to NBC, the episode (titled "The Seminar") focuses on Ed Helms' character, Andy Bernard, who with his sales at an all-time low, "holds a small business seminar with the help of some special guests."
As previously reported, this will be Steve Carell's final season as Michael Scott on "The Office," although the series is expected to continue on with him.

North Carolina should support the development of its offshore-wind resources, which are the most extensive on the East Coast, according to a panel of experts formed by Gov. Bev Perdue. "North Carolina's extensive coastline and large offshore wind resources appear to make it a prime area for offshore-wind development," said the Governor's Scientific Advisory Panel on Offshore Energy.

roles in support of the NIH mission. While none of the roles or elements of the program is unique, the aggregate—comprising research laboratories, a clinical center, freedom from the competition for grants, a large group of scientists working together on a campus that provides opportunities for collaboration and interchange, a site for research training—creates a distinctive research environment.1 Over the years, the intramural program has made large contributions to basic and clinical research, as well as providing training for some of the nation's most distinguished biomedical scientists. A 1969 review of its purposes and objectives noted its contribution to the overall NIH mission by providing ''comprehensiveness of approach, scientific guidance, prestige and an unequalled opportunity for the development of future leaders.''2 But these purposes and accomplishments do not completely illustrate why it is important for a discipline to be represented in the intramural program. To answer that question, one must look at some of the tangible and intangible elements in the relationship between the intramural and extramural programs, and at some of the notions about the intramural program that prevail among NIH staff.
Despite the fact that the administration of extramural grants is kept at arm' s length from the rest of NIH, there is a widely held belief that the coexistence of the two programs, intramural and extramural, at the same location and under the same overall control is vitally important.3 Some commentators cite the benefit that when intramural scientists are ready to leave the laboratory, a few transfer to the extramural program, bringing their knowledge and experience to grants and contracts administration; others note that some intramural scientists go on to become NIH leaders. According to one NIH extramural staff member, the virtually total absence of OB/GYN from the intramural program creates a sense of isolation and a vacuum where important communication should be occurring.*
Another intangible result of being excluded from the intramural program is the sense, reflected both within and outside of NIH, that the excluded discipline is held in low esteem. Some current and former NIH repre-sentatives, however, dispute the notion that this is the case for OB/GYN They point to an attempt in the early 1970s to establish OB/GYN in the intramural program as aa indication that NIH supports the idea of OB/GYN intramural research.**
Some research in reproductive endocrinology is conducted in the NIH intramural program, and a little OB/GYN-related laboratory research is conducted by visiting fellows from overseas.
Beds for OB/GYN to collect data on normal pregnancy and delivery, as well as a perinatal unit, were designed and constructed in the Clinical Center at NIH, but the beds were never opened Reasons for the failure to follow through on the plans included a lack of needed 24-hour blood bank and anesthesia services, expected problems in patient recruitment, and difficulty in recruiting

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Sam Mendes's adaptation of Anthony Swofford's Desert Storm memoir is loaded with commentary tracks featuring Mendes, Swofford, screenwriter William Broyles Jr., and editor Walter Murch.
Occupation: Dreamland
This terrific documentary from co-directors Garrett Scott and Ian Olds offers a fair-minded (but hardly apolitical) grunt's-eye view of the war in Iraq. The filmmakers lived with the army's 82nd Airborne Division near Falluja mere months before the 2004 siege that led to the partial destruction of the city. We get to know several members of the unit and hear them sound off on the war (pro and con), the tedium of occupation, and their alienation from a self-absorbed civilian population back home.
Walk the Line
Arriving a scant year after Ray vaulted Jamie Foxx into the Oscar stratosphere, this Johnny Cash biopic inevitably feels like a retread of a retread. The root problem is in the script: Simply put, nothing interesting happens in the second half of the movie, where Cash's struggles with drug addiction and his romance with June both progress in the expected connect-the-dots fashion. Joaquin Phoenix does a passable impersonation of Cash during the occasionally rousing musical scenes but looks unsure of himself elsewhere. The two-disc collectors' edition includes commentary by director James Mangold, deleted scenes, featurettes, and music videos.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/19/14
Carmelo Anthony had 36 points and nine rebounds, scoring 12 points down the stretch to rally the New York Knicks to a 100-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Anthony topped 30 points for the 17th time this season for the Knicks, who trailed by 11 with seven minutes to play. But Anthony did all of his fourth-quarter damage in those final minutes, hitting a 19-footer with 1:10 to play that put New York up for good. Derrick Williams had 19 points and Ricky Rubio had 18 points and 11 assists for the Timberwolves, who lost for the 14th time in 16 games. Nikola Pekovic added 16 points and 11 rebounds, but Minnesota had no answer for Anthony down the stretch.

Yes, he never made it hard to root for him. Never made us accept him along with his controversial opposition to some war or his strong public stance on something like apartheid. Never demanded we enjoy anything more than his style and his shoes. He's bigger than basketball, so measure him against men like Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali, men bigger than their sports, men with an impact so nuclear they changed society. Louis, heavyweight champion while Hitler was mulling over squashing Europe, opened a world of pride for black Americans. Robinson and Ali moved mountains in society so large that the reverberations can be heard almost daily. They were senators representing the world of sports and they are inseparable from the political history of their generation. Jordan is a man of rare dignity and an even rarer pursuit of excellence, but his political impact has been zero. Certainly, the opportunities of Louis and Robinson have evaporated with time, and the self-sacrificing example of Ali seems an impossible standard. But Jordan has the fame, charisma, and grace of a Mandela. Any cause he might have championed from something as morally simple as supporting the candidacy of fellow North Carolinian Harvey Gantt, who lost two close Senate races against Satan's cousin, Jesse Helms, to any stand against any sort of American injustice would have been taken seriously because it was endorsed by Jordan. Yet as careful as he has been at vacuuming every possible penny into his pocket did he really have to do ads for Ray-O-Vac? Ballpark Franks? Long-distance ads costarring Tweety Bird? he has been equally diligent about leaving every bit of political potential on the table. Couldn't the world's greatest endorser have sold us something besides shoes?
Pulitzer prize winner David Halberstam records much of what Jordan did do, as well as the doings of many of the major figures of his life in Playing for Keeps, his 400-plus-page look inside Jordan's life from the jayvee basketball squad he dominated after being cut by the varsity ("the entire varsity began to come early so they could watch him play") to those last seconds in Utah last summer when the Jazz decided not to double-team him and, suddenly, Jazz defender Bryon Russell was the loneliest man in the world, out there isolated one-on-one with Michael Jeffrey Jordan. It's an epic, detailed vision of the landscape that shaped and was shaped by Jordan, though strictly about basketball the game and the business with scant information on Jordan's life away from the court (on his days off, Halberstam uncovers, he takes the kids to school, and he runs a lot of boring errands). In the absence of an interview with MJ, Halberstam relies on the words of Jordan's friends and associates to fill in the tiny crevices of the big story you already know. He also looks inside the locker rooms of the Bird Celtics, the Isiah Pistons, and the Magic Lakers, as well as the offices of Nike, the NBA, and ESPN to fill out his trip inside the practice sessions where Jordan schooled Pippen into greatness, the weight room where Jordan worked to extend his career, the Bulls team bus where Jordan took on Bulls GM Jerry Krause with his sharp tongue (dissing Krause in front of his teammates, extending the world of "the school yard, where some boys are popular, and some seem to be born to be targets"). Halberstam, in this book, is more of a reporter than a historian he's especially verbose on the byzantine dispute between Jordan and Krause that eventually broke up the mighty Bulls dynasty, and he's light on Jordan's place in history. Sports fans who love behind-the-scenes maneuvering get their fill, as do those who live for well-recounted tales of great games, such as the greatest pickup game ever played, during a 1992 Dream Team practice. Once Charles Barkley began talking trash to Jordan and:
The game became raw and physical, all territorial and all ego. Michael Jordan more than anyone else set the tone. He simply took over the game, driving to the basket every time he got the ball, rebounding, stepping in the passing lanes for steals, hounding [Magic] Johnson on defense, screaming at everyone, opponents and teammates alike, pushing himself. There was one stretch where he made twelve points in a row, though some witnesses claimed that it was actually sixteen. When a call went against his team, Johnson yelled out, "What is this, Chicago Stadium? Are you going to get all the calls here, too?"

Tormentas eléctricas y rayos
Sea un ejemplo a seguir e inspire a los demás a tomar medidas. Comprométase a prepararse (en inglés) y coménteselo a los demás.
Todas las tormentas eléctricas son peligrosas. Todas producen rayos. Si bien las muertes producto de rayos han disminuido en los últimos 30 años, los rayos siguen siendo una de las 3 principales causas de muerte relacionada con tormentas en los Estados Unidos. En 2010 hubo 29 muertes y 182 lesiones a causa de rayos. Aunque la mayoría de las personas alcanzadas por un rayo sobreviven, en general padecen diversos síntomas debilitantes y prolongados.
Otros peligros relacionados con las tormentas eléctricas son tornados, vientos intensos, granizo e inundaciones repentinas. Las inundaciones repentinas son responsables de más las muertes —más de 140 personas por año— que cualquier otro peligro relacionado con las tormentas eléctricas. En el oeste de los Estados Unidos prevalecen las tormentas eléctricas secas, que no producen lluvias que alcancen la tierra. La lluvia se evapora, pero los rayos aún pueden caer sobre la tierra y dar inicio a incendios forestales.
Before Thunderstorm and Lightning
To prepare for a thunderstorm, you should do the following:
- To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan.
- Remove dead or rotting trees and branches that could fall and cause injury or damage during a severe thunderstorm.
- Postpone outdoor activities.
- Secure outdoor objects that could blow away or cause damage.
- Get inside a home, building, or hard top automobile (not a convertible). Although you may be injured if lightning strikes your car, you are much safer inside a vehicle than outside.
- Remember, rubber-soled shoes and rubber tires provide NO protection from lightning. However, the steel frame of a hard-topped vehicle provides increased protection if you are not touching metal.
- Shutter windows and secure outside doors. If shutters are not available, close window blinds, shades or curtains.
- Unplug any electronic equipment well before the storm arrives.
Lightning Risk Reduction When Outdoors
|If you are:
|In a forest
|Seek shelter in a low area under a thick growth of small trees.
|In an open area
|Go to a low place such as a ravine or valley. Be alert for flash floods.
|On open water
|Get to land and find shelter immediately.
Facts about Thunderstorms
- They may occur singly, in clusters or in lines.
- Some of the most severe occur when a single thunderstorm affects one location for an extended time.
- Thunderstorms typically produce heavy rain for a brief period, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
- Warm, humid conditions are highly favorable for thunderstorm development.
- About 10 percent of thunderstorms are classified as severe – one that produces hail at least an inch or larger in diameter, has winds of 58 miles per hour or higher or produces a tornado.
Facts about Lightning
- Lightning's unpredictability increases the risk to individuals and property.
- Lightning often strikes outside of heavy rain and may occur as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall.
- "Heat lightning" is actually lightning from a thunderstorm too far away from thunder to be heard. However, the storm may be moving in your direction.
- Most lightning deaths and injuries occur when people are caught outdoors in the summer months during the afternoon and evening.
- Your chances of being struck by lightning are estimated to be 1 in 600,000 but could be reduced even further by following safety precautions.
- Lightning strike victims carry no electrical charge and should be attended to immediately.
Know the Terms
Familiarize yourself with these terms to help identify a thunderstorm hazard:
Severe Thunderstorm Watch - Tells you when and where severe thunderstorms are likely to occur. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio or television for information.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning - Issued when severe weather has been reported by spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate imminent danger to life and property to those in the path of the storm.
During Thunderstorms and Lightning
If thunderstorm and lightning are occurring in your area, you should:
- Use your battery-operated NOAA Weather Radio for updates from local officials.
- Avoid contact with corded phones and devices including those plugged into electric for recharging. Cordless and wireless phones not connected to wall outlets are OK to use.
- Avoid contact with electrical equipment or cords. Unplug appliances and other electrical items such as computers and turn off air conditioners. Power surges from lightning can cause serious damage.
- Avoid contact with plumbing. Do not wash your hands, do not take a shower, do not wash dishes, and do not do laundry. Plumbing and bathroom fixtures can conduct electricity.
- Stay away from windows and doors, and stay off porches.
- Do not lie on concrete floors and do not lean against concrete walls.
- Avoid natural lightning rods such as a tall, isolated tree in an open area.
- Avoid hilltops, open fields, the beach or a boat on the water.
- Take shelter in a sturdy building. Avoid isolated sheds or other small structures in open areas.
- Avoid contact with anything metal—tractors, farm equipment, motorcycles, golf carts, golf clubs, and bicycles.
- If you are driving, try to safely exit the roadway and park. Stay in the vehicle and turn on the emergency flashers until the heavy rain ends. Avoid touching metal or other surfaces that conduct electricity in and outside the vehicle.
After a Thunderstorm or Lightning Strike
If lightning strikes you or someone you know, call 9-1-1 for medical assistance as soon as possible. The following are things you should check when you attempt to give aid to a victim of lightning:
- Breathing - if breathing has stopped, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
- Heartbeat - if the heart has stopped, administer CPR.
- Pulse - if the victim has a pulse and is breathing, look for other possible injuries. Check for burns where the lightning entered and left the body. Also be alert for nervous system damage, broken bones and loss of hearing and eyesight.
After the storm passes remember to:
- Never drive through a flooded roadway. Turn around, don't drown!
- Stay away from storm-damaged areas to keep from putting yourself at risk from the effects of severe thunderstorms.
- Continue to listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or to local radio and television stations for updated information or instructions, as access to roads or some parts of the community may be blocked.
- Help people who may require special assistance, such as infants, children and the elderly or those with access or functional needs.
- Stay away from downed power lines and report them immediately.
- Watch your animals closely. Keep them under your direct control.

Merry & Bright Artful Card Kit
This week's card is another Christmas card! This one is a step card, so more little panels to fill with die-cut delights! As you can see, I've filled them with as many as I could without going overboard! The Merry & Bright Artful Card Kit is a cute, whimsical take on Christmas, with a bright color palette and lovely little illustrations. The white pearl sheets are beautiful and perfect to use in small amounts to add impact to the card. I especially like what I've added to the card last minute: Diamond Ice Stickles! You've seen me use this before, and it gives just that extra pop of glitter where you want it. Need I say more?
