Wilderness: Bristleworm Sting
In this article
Bristleworm Sting Overview
Of the many species of worms, the bristleworm is one of the most dangerous. Bristleworms are elongated segmented worms. Each segment contains a pair of bristles. Although bristleworms are not aggressive, they bite when handled, and the bristles can penetrate skin (sting).
Bristleworms are often found under rocks and corals in tropical areas throughout the world. You should use heavy gloves if you need to handle one.
Bristleworm Sting Symptoms
The bristleworm bite or sting may cause the following symptoms:
- Inflammation
- Burning
- Swelling
- Numbness
- Redness
- Pain
Bristleworm Sting Treatment
Treatment for a bristleworm bite or sting includes the following:
- Apply topical acetic acid (vinegar) or isopropyl alcohol.
- Remove bristles with tweezers or adhesive tape.
- If severe inflammation and a continual burning sensation develop, apply hydrocortisone cream 3 times per day.
- If signs of infection are present, such as pus, redness, or heat, apply topical antibiotic ointment and contact your doctor.
- Oral antibiotics are usually recommended to prevent infection. If infection develops, continue antibiotics as directed by your doctor. Check for drug allergy prior to starting any antibiotic. A doctor will recommend the right antibiotic. Some antibiotics can cause sensitivity to the sun. It's important to avoid direct sunlight, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and tanning beds. When outdoors, wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and a wide-brimmed hat, and use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more that is protective against both UVA and UVB rays.
- Pain may be relieved with 1-2 acetaminophen (Tylenol) every 4 hours or 1-2 ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) every 6-8 hours.
When to Seek Medical Care
Consult a doctor about treatment with available medications if bitten or stung by a bristleworm.

Marinas from Charleston to Florida
I am planning on a Christmas cruise from Charleston to Florida. Once in Florida I am planning on Disney for my Daughter. Could anyone tell me of a good Marina either in Cape Canaveral or in Daytona Beach? Which would be the best?
Marinas from Charleston to Florida
In April this year we stayed at Cape Marina in Cape Canaveral and were very pleased with the facilities and the staff. It has a good view for space shuttle launch if one is scheduled at that time. There is bus service nearby and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The marina is busy on the weekends with fishermen and it is a working boatyard, but those were the only negative aspects. Good access from the ocean, but not quite as convenient from the ICW. We will definitely stay there again when we can catch a shuttle launch.
Marinas from Charleston to Florida
We spent time at English Jim''s Marina in Daytona Beach and Seven seas Marina in Pt. Orange--next door to Daytona Bch. Both are clean/pleasant facilities. Daytona Bch. has an outstanding farmers market every Sat. at area near City Library--good buys on fresh Veggies!
Marinas from Charleston to Florida
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I''ll let you know how it goes.
Marinas from Charleston to Florida
One of the absolutely nicest marinas in the Daytona area is the municapally owned Halifax Harbor Marina in downtown Daytona Beach. You would be advised to call ahead for reservations there as many snowbirds congregate there this time of year. I personally think its the nicest marina on the east coast. Well run, well maintained and great staff. Had a boat in there for two years and hated to leave, but moved to the SW coast of FL.
Down at Titusville on the ICW you have the Kennedy Point Marina that is very nice with good facilities. Also the municipal marina in Titusville is good also.
It would be advised to try and estimate your arrival dates in any place you want to tie up and make reservations...to ward off disappointment.

Tourism executive brags: Travelers out of Naia in 25 minutes flat
More News from Jerome Aning, Jocelyn R. Uy
It has been branded over and over as one of the world's worst airports. But Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) has a little known advantage that even top-rated airports in the West don't offer. And a local tourism official hopes to spread the word around—and abroad.
According to Assistant Tourism Secretary Benito Bengzon Jr., it takes only 25 minutes for passengers arriving at Naia to complete the airport process—from disembarkation to clearing immigration and customs to getting a cab or meeting welcomers outside the airport.
That advantage, if effectively marketed, could attract more tourists to the Philippines.
Preliminary figures show international traffic at Naia reached 14.2 million travelers last year, up 8.78 percent from 13.07 million in 2011.
But the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), Naia's operator, has yet to analyze the figures to separate tourist arrivals from returning migrant workers and visiting overseas Filipinos.
"The advantage of Naia is that in about three to four minutes, from the time the plane touches down, it is already at the bridge or tube … taxi time is shorter at Naia compared with bigger international airports abroad," Bengzon told reporters before Christmas.
"You try to check your watch when you travel to a large airport. Taxiing after landing really takes time and sometimes you have to go through a bus gate so you will still have to be shuttled to the terminal," he said.
Joint effort
Bengzon attributed the faster process at Naia, which many travelers may have taken for granted, to the improved system at the immigration section.
"This is a joint effort of various agencies … so even if our airport is old and small, there are still advantages … and I hope you can spread the word around," Bengzon said.
But flights arriving or leaving on time are another thing.
According to Bengzon, however, travelers can expect more punctual flights at Naia within the year, especially after the installation of night landing equipment in 14 major domestic airports across the country.
Last year, the travel guide Frommer's ranked Naia as the second worst airport in the world, behind New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.
Naia, particularly its Terminal 1, used to be the world's worst airport.
That ranking was based on surveys of travelers, whose complaints included "safety concerns, lack of comfortable seats, rude staff, hostile security, poor facilities, no or few services to pass the time" and "bribery."
Last month, the Department of Budget and Management said it released P933.8 million for the acquisition of night landing equipment for the airports of Tuguegarao, San Jose in Mindoro, Busuanga, Naga, Legazpi, Roxas, Tagbilaran, Dumaguete, Dipolog, Pagadian, Ozamis, Cotabato, Butuan and Surigao.
The airports will be equipped for air traffic services, airfield lighting, communications and power supply, among other things.
The improvements will allow flights to land and depart after sunset and before sunrise, easing the congestion at Naia, Bengzon said.
With congestion eased and, it is hoped, eliminated, airlines can mount additional flights to Manila, boosting tourist traffic to the Philippines.
Departures, arrivals
Preliminary figures from the MIAA showed overseas arrivals and departures at Naia increased by 1.14 million last year.
The MIAA reported that 14,218,374 passengers took international flights at Terminals 1, 2 and 3.
The total traffic represents an increase of 8.78 percent from 13,070,447 for the three terminals in 2011.
Terminal 3, which has yet to be opened for full operation, posted a more than one-third increase in international passenger volume.
The terminal served 2,396,393 international passengers in 2012 compared to 1,738,411 in 2011—an increase of 37.8 percent.
In contrast, international passenger volume at Terminals 1 and 2 rose by only 4.5 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively.
The MIAA has yet to release a detailed analysis of the passenger increase.
The previous year saw several foreign and domestic airlines, mostly operating out of Terminal 3, offering low-cost overseas trips or launching new direct services to Southeast Asian and East Asian destinations.
Cebu Pacific, for instance, launched direct flights to Bali, Indonesia and Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Tourism promotion
The increase in international flights may also be attributed to the government's aggressive tourism promotion to attract more foreigners and overseas Filipinos to visit the Philippines.
But the international passenger volume also includes the thousands of overseas Filipino workers displaced by the Arab Spring in the Middle East and North Africa or who lost their jobs because of the recession in developed countries. These arrivals are not supposed to be counted as tourists or visitors.

Politicians: Remember the roadsPublished 10:14am Monday, September 17, 2012 Updated 12:16pm Monday, September 17, 2012
A recent study by city residents in cities throughout Minnesota show that when it comes to top priorities for their cities, fixing roads is among the highest.
It should be a lesson learned by politicians, and those who vote for them.
City government has often been leaned on to do lots of things: create jobs, bring tourists to town, revitalize our community's blighted buildings, and even help those with drug problems.
But the fact is, money is tight these days. City government can't afford to sink valuable resources into fixing every problem. And even if cities were flush with cash, past efforts have shown that government help does not necessarily fix the problem.
Fixing the roads, however, is something city government has control over. Good roads also play a role in improving the quality of life of residents who drive on them, as well as the truck drivers who use them to deliver products.
City officials have done what they can. The plethora of road projects this summer in Fergus Falls can testify to that. And tight funding, of course, means that not every cracked, potholed road can be fixed immediately. But certainly, there are plenty of roads in Fergus Falls that need improvement.
As the debates and campaigns for city council heat up and candidates come knocking at your door, let's remember to ask them, will you make fixing my street a priority?
Roads are, after all, a problem they have control over.

I have found little to critique about in this review and with good cause since SIBOS is really a fantastic game, a great video game rendition of a board game and even better rendition of trivia than the original SI games provide.
The only glaring ommision from the original Scene It was online play. Now that it's implemented well in Box Office Smash, you won't have to cajole your friends and family into a game every time you want to play a session. [Jan 2009, p.71]
It's one of the 360's best social experiences, and one that anyone can enjoy. That it also doles out Gamerscore points like candy on Halloween only makes us even happier to play it.
Simple, accessible fun for everyone, including all your non-gamer friends and family. Perfect entertainment for the upcoming party-packed season.
Scene It? Box Office Smash leaves the back lot and goes on location with new modes, improved special effects, and great online play.
Scene It? Box Office Smash is a worthy successor to the original title that was released just over a year ago.
A fantastic sequel for a fantastic party game. Scene It? Box Office Smash is bigger than the first one and has new game modes, including online. If you love the movies, you must play this game. And believe us, beating your friends using your knowledge is very funny.
Perfect entertainment for the upcoming party-packed season. It's one of the 360's best social experiences.
Every bit as fun as the last Scene It?, Box Office Smash adds online multiplayer and an energetic interface that elevates this year's outing above all other similar games.
It's a pretty solid purchase if you've got friends to play it with, especially if you're just going with the $40 version of the game (minus the remotes).
If you enjoy party games and trivia and you'd like another game to add to your "360 as a rival to the Wii" list then you've got a winner on your hands with Scene It? Box Office Smash and you shouldn't be afraid to grab it even if you don't know much about movies or games.
The biggest issue with Scene It is also what makes it such a draw for some. The singular focus on films makes it a title that all your friends can certainly play, but can leave non-movie lovers feeling a bit disadvantaged.
Lavished with new modes and features but retaining its air of accessibility, this update does not disappoint. [Jan 2009, p.105]
A considerable improvement over the original and fun for everyone involved. [Jan 2009, p.69]
More in-depth than its predecessor, Box Office Smash updates the Xbox 360-dedicated franchise with a ton of new questions, a couple of new puzzle modes and online play. Still a great way to entertain the family on those long winter nights ahead.
Movie buffs should get a real kick out of it but it can readily be enjoyed by almost anyone and best of all, there's a surprising amount of replay value.
With newer topics, an improved interface, and online play, Box Office Smash is loads better than last year's rookie attempt.
Incredibly fun, especially with a group, and it is a great improvement over Lights, Camera, Action.
Regardless, after only five to six hours of family-friendly trivia, questions start to repeat -- effectively killing the fun. Microsoft promises downloadable question packs sometime down the line, but the jury's still out on the price or size of these additions.
If you played the first Scene It? game last year, you will find this sequel worth picking up simply because of the addition of the multiplayer mode over Xbox Live and the promise of new questions through downloadable content. But frankly, I was expecting more of it. Sure the improved visuals bring something interesting to the table but after seeing what Sony was able to pull off with Buzz! on the PS3, this Scene It sequel feels not as complete as it should.
While it isn't quite a perfect game, Box Office Smash is better than its predecessor and it plays exceptionally well as a party game.
If, and when, download content ever arrives for Box Office Smash, then the replay value of the title will increase. But as it stands right now, it's great to bring out when you have friends over for a party.
At the end of the day, Scene It? Box Office Smash is a decent party game that needs to played with as many people as possible as this is what makes the game truly enjoyable. Online is interesting, however not as fun as playing with someone physically next to you
Scene It? Box Office Smash manages to refine the experience of its predecessor, giving gamers a solid movie-trivia experience.
A really enjoyable game, which is also the first to include full avatar support. Great for playing with friends and family.
It's a great package. However, the number of questions on the disc is quite limited. Play just a handful of games and you'll start getting repeat questions which defeats the whole purpose of playing a game that is intended to test your knowledge.
You don't need to be in the company of non-gamers to enjoy Scene It? We played a rather heated game in the office that proved to be as hard fought as the console war, with as much competition as a session on Gears of War 2.
Still a fun movie game but one that is little more than an add on pack to what has come before. Surely it would make more sense to release new questions as DLC rather than releasing an unnecessary, and overpriced, new product that has very little in the way of extras. The online mode is a nice addition but is simply not enough to warrant a purchase.
There are also some very sloppy mistakes, which are just frequent enough to make you wonder whether the game was proofread and fact-checked.
Scene It? Box Office Smash is certainly not the best quiz-game you're ever going to play. Its lack of space is making sure that after a game or three some questions will keep coming back. However, what Scene It? does best is giving the gamer some entertaining questions in a sometimes original form and accompanied with great movie material.
However, look past the briefness of what's on offer and there's a richly entertaining game to be had.
The fans of "pop quiz Hollywood" will find this Box Office Smash capable of offering constant and permanent challenges that will test your knowledge about the world of cinema.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Dynegy Inc. (DYN - Get Report) are soaring 17.50% to $34.92 in early morning trade after the power producer announced two separate deals for coal and natural gas generation assets worth a total of $6.25 billion, the New York Times reports.
The company is buying ownership interests in power plants in the Midwest from Duke Energy (DUK - Get Report) and its retail business for $2.8 billion.
Dynegy is also buying ownership interests in plants in New England, Pennsylvania and the Midwest from private equity firm Energy Capital Partners for $3.45 billion.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
- The gross profit margin for DYNEGY INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 3.84%. Despite the low profit margin, it has increased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, DYN's net profit margin of -23.60% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- DYNEGY INC has improved earnings per share by 18.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, DYNEGY INC swung to a loss, reporting -$3.59 versus $7.89 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.22 versus -$3.59).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Independent Power Producers & Energy Traders industry average. The net income increased by 15.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from -$145.00 million to -$123.00 million.
- Investors have driven up the company's shares by 43.17% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the future course of this stock, we feel that the risks involved in investing in DYN do not compensate for any future upside potential, despite the fact that it has seen nice gains over the past 12 months.
- DYN's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 14.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 73.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.

It was saddening to read about the state of our museums, especially the one at Salem.
When crores of rupees are spent by the government on populist ventures and freebies, we have no funds to house our museums in good and safe premises and as a result, priceless artefacts languish in the open left to providence to care!
Our leaders spend hours sermonising about our heritage, culture and language.
But they have no money to finance preservation of the same.
Can the government at least now spare reasonable portions in the budget to maintain our heritage in museums safely for posterity?
J.V.V Murthy,
Clarification needed
The registration for Aadhaar Card for me and my wife was done through the same agency within a space of three days.
\While the card has been issued to my wife I am yet to receive mine.
I understand that for some whose biometric data had been collected much earlier too have not received their cards.
It will be of immense help if a clarification is issued by the authorities.
K.D. Viswanaathan,
Thadagam Road.
Dazzling headlamps
Driving a vehicle on Periyanaickenpalayam Road is an arduous task, especially at night.
On the Mettupalayam NH Road, vehicles go at high speed with headlights on high beam and with scant regard for oncoming vehicles.
Most vehicles do not have the bull's eye sticker on the headlamps which is a necessity according to road rules.
I request the transport office and road safety authorities to ensure that all vehicles follow the rules regarding headlights.
N. Rajkumar,
No water supply
We, the residents of Podanur for the past 40 years at Sabari Nagar, have been forced to go without water for the past 25 days.
Water is supplied to us once a month or at the most once in 25 and that too for one hour only. The previous Municipal administration at least used to supply borewell water once in two days, but that too is not supplied properly.
Now, it is being supplied once in 15 days.
Added to this irregularity, the erratic power supply which extends to almost 10 to 12 hours, further adds to our agony.
Previously, we would contact the Municipal authorities but since our area has been included to the Corporation, our predicament has become worse.
We are not able to contact higher officials and if at all we do, pat comes the reply: "sorry, there is no water."
We are regular payers of house tax and water tax, but do not get our quota of water. Is it not the duty of the Corporation to look into this matter and do the needful?
Prasad Mahadevan,
Bus stop needed

There is a necessity for a bus stop near The Hindu office on LIC Road.
This will benefit children and senior citizens intending to visit the VOC Park, zoo,
The Hindu office, Jail gate, Kerala Club and Chintamani Supermarket (for LPG customers).

In a year that saw e-commerce ventures shut shop by the dozen, the New Delhi-based online marketplace Snapdeal.com grew at a pace that surprised competition. The company, started in 2010 as a group deals site, claims it is "just months away" from catching up with market-leader Flipkart's $1 billion (in gross merchandise value, announced in March).
The secret sauce to this "hyper growth" is the "zero inventory model" the company swears by, says co-founder and chief executive Kunal Bahl in a recent interview with The Hindu. Excerpts:
Flipkart recently crossed the $1-billion sales mark. How soon do you see yourself get there?
Back in 2012, we said that by 2015 we would get to a billion dollar. Based on our current trajectory, I think we'll get there much sooner than that. One thing is sure that when we reach there, we would have achieved in one-third the time and one-fifth the investments. It's not just about scale you achieve, it's about how much time and how many resources went into achieving that scale — you must remember scale is not necessarily the only barometer that demonstrates whether you built a good company or not.
Do you attribute this rapid growth to the pure-play marketplace model that you've stuck to?
Yes. In the last 12 months, we grew six-fold, while e-commerce in India grew by 88 per cent (According to Assocham). During this time our focus on building a large assortment played out, where if you take out books (which is basically a plug and play catalogue), we have about 8 to 10 times more products than any other e-commerce company.
Having a wide selection of items is important as it drives impulsive buying. But, what our growth really demonstrates is that the inventory model is really broken. It just consumes so much money and time relative to a pure marketplace by us. Our success captures that.
Is this why we're seeing your rivals now migrate, at least partly, to the marketplace model?
Not really. People are calling themselves marketplaces but they're not, because they're doing this for regulatory reasons. If you look at their sites, most products are sold by one seller — that is them. A marketplace is not a regulatory structure, it is a philosophy that you want to offer equal opportunity to any business that wants to supply locally and sell nationally. As a result, we do not compete with our sellers, which is inevitable if we own our own inventory. We see sellers have issues with that and leaving such platforms. We don't do that — we make money if our ecosystem makes money.
Is the threat from Amazon real now? It claims selling 15 million products across 24 categories, and is already ahead of domestic players.
Very theoretically that number may be true, but practically it means nothing. If you take books out, which is the real barometer, we are 8 to 10 times ahead. The books business is based on catalogue feeds from a few companies, which boosts up your total assortment number. Is it a threat... as a company in a big space, which is still very nascent, you have to be paranoid. So yes, we are keeping our ears to the ground. The e-commerce space today is probably $3 billion, which is likely to go up to $50-60 billion in 7-8 years. The prize is large, and there will be other players; but eventually, I think there will be two or three large players and each will have their own economics. And, this economics will determine your eventual enterprise value. It has been proved, across geographies, that only marketplace model can get there.
Like Alibaba in China...
Yes! In investor circles, they're calling us the Alibaba of India. Because like them we are pure marketplaces, zero inventory — like Gmarket in Korea, Marcado Libre in Latin America or Rakuten in Japan. It's been proven over and over again that pure marketplaces, not our regulatory structured ones, are the largest and most profitable. In other models you are bringing upon yourself the cost, complexity and competitive structures of online retailers.
How did the bustling e-commerce segment shrink?
Yes, the market shrank so quickly; there were 900 players two years ago, now there are hardly any left. I think what happened is that there was exuberance in financing in 2011, and everyone wanted to launch an e-commerce company. The year after was just a drought. Hence, over the last one year, we have been seeing rapid mortality.
So, further consolidation is inevitable then...
Going forward, the consolidation you are talking about...I feel sad and disappointed that e-commerce companies that have attained a decent amount of scale would want to give up so quickly. Because the market is ahead of us, not behind — why worry. Actually, the success rate of M&As is quite low — at this stage when companies are young, there's a lot of value destruction and distraction that happens. We've seen that whenever M&As have happened before, typically, the company that gets acquired gets shut down invariably though the intent often is to keep both businesses independent. This is because the companies, all our companies, are too young to run multiple businesses; it's not that straightforward or easy.
But does this kind of consolidation bode well for the sector as a whole?
Also it creates an adverse dynamic for brands, as if brands feel that there's too much consolidation — I've had brand owners calling us saying we want to create a direct-to-consumer channel because we don't want to get gated by folks who are buying and selling from us. That's what happened in some developed markets where big brands don't sell on inventory-led e-commerce platforms as they feel they lose control of our consumer. So brands are telling us we'll set up our own stores — this is a strong trend where brands want to leverage marketplace and connect directly with consumers.
Any acquisition is on the anvil?
We would never buy an e-commerce company. Buying an e-commerce company is not a very smart decision right now.
See, there are only three reasons you would buy a company — unique demand, supply or technology. Demand is never really additive and supply we don't need anymore (we have bought a few like Shopo and Esportsbuy). So if we do an acquisition it will be a technology company.
eBay recently led a second round of investments in Snapdeal. So, the general speculation is that eBay's stake is about a third...naturally, there's talk about them buying you over.
First of all, the figure (stakes) you mention is just speculation. It's much, much lesser.
See, eventually the board will decide. But given our size, scale and ambition, and the kind of growth trajectory we are in, an IPO is an increasing possibility for us.
How soon will we see you go public?
May be in the next 12-18 months.

My personal favorite photographer, Brett Weston. Why? Because of his presentation of abstraction that perhaps has joined with some knowledge within me to the point that it was deeply moving.

In an address from the Oval Office as airstrikes against Iraq began on Jan. 16, 1991, then-President George H.W. Bush said Saddam Husssein had left the United States no other options. In many ways, his words would be echoed by his son 12 years later, at the start of a new Gulf War. Following is the text of the elder Bush's 1991 speech.
Just two hours ago allied air forces began an attack on military targets in Iraq and Kuwait. These attacks continue as I speak. Ground forces are not engaged.
This conflict started Aug. 2 when the dictator of Iraq invaded a small and helpless neighbor. Kuwait, a member of the Arab League and a member of the United Nations, was crushed, its people brutalized. Five months ago Saddam Hussein started this cruel war against Kuwait. Tonight, the battle has been joined.
This military action, taken in accord with United Nations resolutions, and with the consent of the United States Congress, follows months of constant and virtually endless diplomatic activity on the part of the United Nations, the United States and many, many other countries. Arab leaders sought what became known as an Arab solution, only to conclude that Saddam Hussein was unwilling to leave Kuwait. Others traveled to Baghdad in a variety of efforts to restore peace and justice. Our secretary of state, James Baker, held an historic meeting in Geneva, only to be totally rebuffed. This past weekend, in a last- ditch effort, the secretary general of the United Nations went to the Middle East with peace in his heart — his second such mission — and he came back from Baghdad with no progress at all in getting Saddam Hussein to withdraw from Kuwait. Now the 28 countries with forces in the gulf area, having exhausted all reasonable efforts to reach a peaceful resolution, have no choice but to drive Saddam from Kuwait by force. We will not fail.
As I report to you, air attacks are underway against military targets in Iraq. We are determined to knock out Saddam Hussein's nuclear bomb potential. We will also destroy his chemical weapons facilities. Much of Saddam's artillery and tanks will be destroyed. Our operations are designed to best protect the lives of all the coalition forces by targeting Saddam's vast military arsenal. Initial reports from Gen. Schwarzkopf are that our operations are proceeding according to plan.
Our objectives are clear. Saddam Hussein's forces will leave Kuwait. The legitimate government of Kuwait will be restored to its rightful place. And Kuwait will once again be free. Iraq will eventually comply with all relevant United Nations resolutions. And then, when peace is restored, it is our hope that Iraq will live as a peaceful and cooperative member of the family of nations, thus enhancing the security and stability of the gulf.

Catalina 250 hull trim
Hi All,
I am a new member to this site and am looking for some feedback about my new to me 2001 Catalina 250. Is it normal for the bow to appear to ride high, especially in relation to painted water line?
At the moment the outboard is in the shop being serviced, the gas tank is nearly empty and the waste holding is nowhere near full. Forward, the water tank is full and the anchor and chain are not sure how heavy, but average.
Many thanks for any tips.
If you have a wing keel that is normal. the centerboard water ballast has a more normal set in the water

Gay rights advocates must win the hearts and minds of the American public, and reaction to the Massachusetts decision suggests that won't be easy. Opponents' loudest rallying cry can be summarized in three words: Save the children. With more passion than logic, they insist that affording gay couples the right to marry endangers kids.
Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby warned that the Massachusetts decision imperils "unique sex roles in family life." In the Los Angeles Times, Professor Douglas Kmiec echoed this theme: Children of gay parents miss "the benefits of child rearing by the distinct attributes of both father and mother." Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas assailed the Massachusetts decision because "children need a mother and a father in the home."
The notion that gay parents endanger children is an old one, but its precise nature has evolved. It used to be argued that gay parents would produce gay children. Today, few people find this idea persuasive, but the notion persists that gay couples make poor parents because they are inadequate role models. The new variation of the argument is suggested by the quotes above from the conservative pundits: Children need a parent of each gender to model appropriate behavior. In Goodridge, the state advanced this argument in opposition to same-sex marriage. Kristi Hamrick of the Family Research Council puts the point bluntly: "A child needs a male role model and a female role model. These are not interchangeable puzzle pieces."
We will hear this argument frequently in the days ahead, because children are the last refuge of same-sex marriage opponents. Their other arguments are increasingly seen as pure prejudice, attempts to codify religious beliefs, or circular logic. In its recent decision striking down sodomy laws, the U.S. Supreme Court clarified that moral disapproval alone is an insufficient basis for discriminatory laws.
Opponents also invoke the role model argument because of its intuitive appeal. To challenge the notion that children need both a male and female role model seems sacrilegious. It puts one in the position of literally attacking Mom, Pop, and apple pie. Yet, to win public acceptance of same-sex marriage, gay rights advocates must tackle head-on the notion that children need a mother and father.
There's no need to shy away from this debate. Wholesome though it sounds, the idea that children need a parent of each gender is curiously outdated. What is the male supposed to model? Aggression? Sports? Trucks? What should the female model? Nurturing? Femininity? Pink clothing? Insisting on gender-based role modeling makes sense only if there are viable models of gender to begin with. Yet psychologists and thinking laypeople increasingly conclude the opposite, that the idea of a model of maleness or femaleness is misleading and constraining.
Human personality is deeply malleable. Women can be ferociously competitive athletes and hawkish prime ministers; men can be nurses and stay-at-home dads. We're gradually moving beyond the equation of tough woman with "bitch" and nurturing man with "sissy." We want all parents to model compassion, responsibility, independence, and good citizenship. These virtues are androgynous.
Yes, there are gender-specific items that every child must learn, especially pertaining to sex and reproduction. These have little to do with "modeling," and tend to be taught in health class. There's little a boy or girl can learn solely from a mother or solely from a father. In an era when even the sport of wrestling has become gender integrated and men take postpartum leave from work, it's strange to consider a child deprived unless she has one parent of each gender.
While children don't need one mom and one dad, they undeniably benefit from having two parents. Numerous studies confirm that children of single parents fare less well than children in two-parent homes in almost every respectthey are more likely to end up poor, addicted to drugs, uneducated, unemployed, and incarcerated.
This suggests the irony of opposition to same-sex marriage. Conservatives have long lamented damage to our society from the proliferation of single-parent homes. William Bennett's "Index of Cultural Indicators" includes both divorce and illegitimacy as symptoms of decline. By these measures, America's slide has been staggering. Out-of-wedlock births increased more than 500 percent from 1960 to 2000. Add in soaring divorce rates, and close to 50 percent of children spend at least part of their childhood in a single-parent home.
Given this, shouldn't conservatives embrace same-sex marriage, which leads to more children raised in stable two-parent homes? You might expect them to applaud the court's reasoning in Goodridge. "Civil marriage anchors an ordered society by encouraging stable relationships over transient ones," the majority wrote. "It is central to the way the Commonwealth . . . ensures that children and adults are cared for and supported whenever possible from private rather than public funds." This is a ringing affirmation of conservative values: marriage, social stability, and privatization. (A few conservative commentators, most notably William Safire and David Brooks, acknowledge the value of gay marriage.)

LED Waves Debuts 2 Foot LED T8 Tube Light Made in the USA
A small Brooklyn-based lighting business adds a 2 foot LED T8 tube light to their line of products designed and built in the USA.
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) May 04, 2012
LED Waves is proud to roll out the 2-foot long Genesys 2.0 LED T8 Tube Light- a fluorescent replacement engineered and built in the USA. This plug-and-play retrofit is a highly anticipated addition to the company´s line of 4-foot lamps. Longer lasting and more durable than a fluorescent tube, the 2´ Genesys LED T8 is a great low maintenance lighting solution for facility managers and homeowners alike.
The 2´ Genesys LED T8 tube is built with Cree MX-6 LEDs. These chips were specified based on superior color rendering, uniform light distribution, and all-around dependability. Proven reliable in thermal shock and corrosion tests, the MX-6 was the clear choice for LED Waves´ fluorescent replacements, as these lights appear in such a wide range of environments.
LED Waves carries the Genesys LED T8 Tube Lights in warm (~3000K) and neutral (~4000K) white. Cool white (~5000K) is available by special order. Wired for 100-277 universal voltage, these LED retrofits are an easy replacement for lighting systems in the home or workplace. Installation simply requires bypassing or removing the existing fixture´s fluorescent ballast.
Free samples of the Genesys 2-foot and 4-foot LED T8 Tube Lights are available to lighting specifiers across the USA. Call LED Waves at 1(800)986-0169 to find a regional sales representative.
The 2-foot Genesys 2.0 LED T8 Tube Light is an exciting addition to LED Waves' growing line of exclusive products made in the USA. The line includes an LED recessed down light fixture, as well as PAR-20, PAR-30, and PAR-38 LED light bulbs. Looking ahead, the company plans to offer at least one American-made option to fulfill every residential and commercial LED lighting application.

The Mumbai Cricket Association has debarred senior official Ratnakar Shetty from taking part in the association's activities, including contesting elections, for five years till June 2, 2018.
Shetty has been Wilson College Gymkhana's representative in the association since 1975, holding the positions of joint secretary, treasurer and vice-president in this period. He is currently General Manager (Game Development), BCCI.
The ban is the culmination of an internal enquiry following Shetty's allegations at the MCA's annual general meeting on March 22, that the association's money was misused to buy tickets for a third party for the Twenty20 match between India and Pakistan at Ahmedabad in December 2012.
Strangely, the MCA has not issued a press release announcing the ban.
According to Shetty, the MCA had reserved 150 tickets with the Gujarat Cricket Association, and issued a demand draft for Rs. 1.50 lakh, although two tickets were bought by managing committee member Ganesh Iyer. Subsequently the MCA requested the GCA to hand over 150 tickets to Shapath Shah of Ahmedabad, and received a personal cheque for Rs. 1.50 lakh from Jayveer Shah, a resident of Mumbai.
The question Shetty asked at the AGM was: "Why was the Mumbai Cricket Association's money used for alleged black marketing of tickets in Ahmedabad?"
In a note addressed to Shetty, dated June 3, 2013, the association's joint-secretaries P.V. Shetty and Nitin Dalal said that he had brought disrepute to the association by making false and baseless allegations. This, the note said, had tarnished the character of the office-bearers and managing committee members, and hurt the MCA's image.
Reacting to the MCA, Shetty said: "This is a personal vendetta by people who want to make sure that I do not contest the next elections. Their egos were hurt after the two anti-club resolutions proposed by the managing committee had to be taken back by the chairman. He sensed the mood of the house after I raised the issue on behalf of the members. I will fight this kind of undemocratic decisions, both within the association and legally.''
After the AGM, MCA president Ravi Savant had issued a show-cause notice, asking Shetty to provide proof of the allegations of black-marketing.
"I denied the charge that I had levelled allegations of black-marketing against the office bearers or managing committee members," said Shetty. "I don't think it is wrong to raise the issue of misuse of MCA funds, which pertains to governance of the MCA, and this certainly cannot be construed as bringing disrepute to the association. I had raised the same issue at the BCCI's working committee, and this was supported by each and every member present, including the MCA president. The working committee unanimously decided to reduce the quota for sister associations in the same zone to 30 tickets (from 150 tickets), and for other associations in India to 10 tickets."
According to the BCCI guidelines, the host association has to provide 350 tickets to sister associations in the same zone for any international match.

Saying "Their lives are empty..." is not the way to win your point.
While Janeway is, indeed, a "fictional, bipolar excuse of a captain" [I corrected your sentence with the appropriate comma... gotta watch that punctuation when attacking a fictional character], you forgot to add the most important part... over-caffeinated.
No, I cannot in good conscience sign any petition to "Bring Back Janeway". Leave her wherever she ended up. While I loved the series, Janeway's constant contradictions made her my least favorite character. Making her an admiral for merely getting most of her crew back alive, in spite of her misconduct and bipolar decision making, was not the right thing to do. Had it not been bad publicity, she should have been brought to a court-martial.

One Harbaugh in, one out for Super Bowl picks
For those fans clamoring to see someone new in the Super Bowl, the NFC is giving you what you want.
Sorry about the AFC.
Yep, same old, same old is ahead, with the New England Patriots hosting the Baltimore Ravens for the second straight conference championship game Sunday. With a similar result, too.
New England (13-4) is a 9 1/2-point favorite to reach its sixth Super Bowl in the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era. The Patriots' quarterback and coach are 3-2 together in the big game, but the last two appearances have been losses to the Giants.
That surely must irk the two men who otherwise have dominated the last 12 NFL seasons.
The Patriots have never lost an AFC title game at home (4-0, three of those in those 12 seasons). They certainly came close last January when Lee Evans couldn't hold onto a pass in the end zone in the final moment that would have sent the Ravens to their second Super Bowl and first since the 2000 season, when they won it all.
New England will move the ball on Baltimore (12-6) and could resort to running it more often than in the past. Not only is Stevan Ridley a 1,000-yard rusher, something very rare for the Patriots, but the Ravens aren't nearly as stout as they once were at stopping the run. With the emergence of Shane Vereen and consistency of Danny Woodhead if he is healthy, the Patriots are deep in the backfield, too.
The loss of star tight end Rob Gronkowski will be damaging for the Patriots, but not overwhelmingly so. Aaron Hernandez will pick up the slack in receptions and the blocking of Michael Hoomanawanui against Houston was exemplary.
Where the Ravens could prosper is in a revitalized pass rush. Terrell Suggs finally is approaching his top defensive player status of 2011 after returning from a partially torn Achilles tendon. Paul Kruger already is a dynamic sack guy.
Ray Lewis' pending retirement adds an emotional boost for Baltimore.
But in the end, New England's offense will be too persistent, too sharp and too deep for Baltimore to stop. Look for Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Hernandez to have strong games, and for the Patriots' defense to keep Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, Anquan Boldin and Baltimore's dangerous offense from doing too much damage.
And look for the Patriots to be in New Orleans next month.
San Francisco (minus 3 1/2) at Atlanta
Had the Falcons kept the rout going against Seattle in last Sunday's divisional round, the spread here would be different. But Atlanta (14-3) nearly blew it, raising questions among the odds makers about how good the Falcons really are.
They're plenty good, as their last-minute rally to Matt Bryant's 49-yard field goal to beat the Seahawks proved. The issue: San Francisco (12-4-1) simply is better.
Of the remaining four teams, the 49ers are the most balanced. They have the best defense by far; only Seattle's unit really challenged them among all the playoff qualifiers.
Atlanta will struggle to run against Patrick Willis, Justin Smith, NaVorro Bowman and Co. So the Falcons will take to the air, a wise decision when you have playmakers Tony Gonzalez, Roddy White and Julio Jones.
Problem is, the Niners' secondary is as good as any, even if the interceptions were down this season. And the pass rush, sparked by Aldon Smith (19 1/2 sacks), is formidable.
Where San Francisco has an edge over last year, when it lost at home to the Giants for the conference crown, is in its passing game. Second-year QB Colin Kaepernick has added a dynamic dimension with his strong arm, escapability and overall athletic skills. Michael Crabtree has developed into a dependable receiver with big-play abilities.
Add that to Frank Gore's running, and Atlanta's D will be overmatched.
Against spread: 3-1 (117-127-7). Straight up: 2-2 (164-95-1)
Best Bet: 9-8-2 against spread, 13-6 straight up.
Upset special: 11-8 against spread, 9-10 straight up.

A Story of My Heart
by: Arlene Goldbard on February 10th, 2015 | Comments Off
Let us forge a state of union
A place where every child is
A child
Where you see me and I see you
I mean really see each other as extensions
one of one another
—From People's State of the Union commentary by
Makani Themba, Minister of Revolutionary Imagination,
U.S. Department of Arts and Culture National Cabinet.
I haven't the faintest idea how to sum up the more than 500 stories uploaded to the People's State of the Union website since late January. They came from story circles – a hundred people in a church basement or a handful in someone's kitchen – organized in more than 150 places around the U.S. They came because people resonated with the USDAC's assertion that "democracy is a conversation, not a monologue." Because they know the stories that reveal the state of our union. Because – despite falling through the many rips in our social fabric – they believe in democracy and they want a say in how it unfolds.
I could say that a huge chunk of stories are about yearning for our stated ideals to be true, true enough to live into all day, every day. I could say that another huge chunk is about standing together despite the many discouragements unchecked power and privilege have put in our path. I could say that they speak of hearts broken by disappointment, and hearts remade by beauty and the hope of resilience. I could say that they demonstrate a powerful desire to share truth, risking vulnerability to find common ground.
I could say that the stories taken together prove that the quintessential act of art – turning one's experience into something shapely that can be shared – is also the quintessential act of healing, the medicine we need. But I think I'll let Luis J. Rodriguez say it with a few lines from the sonnet he wrote for another part of the People's State of the Union, the Poetic Address to the Nation:

With the re-election of Barack Obama and the prospect of continued political gridlock at the congressional level, the administration will likely turn to regulatory and administrative avenues in an effort to pursue workplace policy goals. The landscape is very different than it was just four short years ago.
Union Organizing -
President Obama devoted almost no political capital to organized labor's top legislative priority four years ago, which was passage of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). The main thrust of EFCA was to enable unions to be certified as a bargaining representative without a secret ballot based on a check of signed authorization cards from a majority of eligible employees. EFCA would also have imposed deadlines for the negotiation of an initial collective bargaining agreement and required arbitration of initial contract terms if the parties did not reach agreement. The Republican conquest of the House of Representatives in 2010 doomed EFCA and it stands no chance of being passed in the incoming Congress.
