Pick 'n' mix
There is always the same number of sweets - fewer than 50 - in a box of Tweets. Some are red and the rest are green. The proportion of reds is always the same.
Two lads, Dip and Flip, had a box each last week and a box each this week. Dip picks sweets at random from his box without looking in. Last week, when he had just eaten his last red one, he noticed he had just one green left. This week, when he had eaten his last red sweet, there were two greens left. Last week's situation is four times as likely as this week's.
Until he runs out of one colour, Flip picks his sweets by tossing a coin: heads he eats a red one and tails he eats a green one. Last week he had just eaten his last red one and he counted the number of green ones left. This week, when he had eaten his last red sweet there was one more green sweet left than in the previous week. In fact, having last week's number left is four times as likely as having this week's.
Tell me how many red sweets and how many green ones make up a box of Tweets.

Rate me!
Three-Cheese Philly with Sweet Grilled Onions
pound onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
tablespoons olive oil
tablespoons balsamic vinegar
tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2
teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 1/2
pounds beef flank steak
tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
tablespoon olive oil
Ground black pepper
cup shredded Muenster cheese (2 ounces)
cup shredded Fontina cheese (2 ounces)
cup shredded American cheese (2 ounces)
soft hoagie rolls or other soft sandwich rolls
- In a large bowl toss onions, the 2 tablespoons oil, the vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well coated. Let stand for 10 minutes. Drain marinade, reserving 3 tablespoons.
- Fold a 36x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil in half to make an 18-inch square. Place onions in center of foil. Add the reserved 3 tablespoons marinade to onions. Bring up two opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose mixture, leaving space for steam to build.
- Place flank steak on a plate; cover with plastic wrap. Freeze about 25 minutes or until firm but not frozen. When firm, thinly slice steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Tightly thread meat, accordion-style, onto six 12-inch skewers.* In a small bowl combine Worcestershire sauce and the 1 tablespoon oil; brush onto meat. Sprinkle lightly with pepper.
- For a gas or charcoal grill, place the onion pouch on the grill rack directly over medium heat. Cover and grill for 20 minutes. Turn pouch and add steak skewers to grill. Cover and grill for 6 to 8 minutes more or until steak is desired doneness, turning skewers once halfway through grilling. Remove pouch and skewers from grill.
- In a small bowl combine Muenster cheese, Fontina cheese, and American cheese. Split rolls lengthwise without cutting through opposite side. To each roll add meat from one skewer and 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture. Top with onions from pouch. Tightly wrap each sandwich in foil. Place wrapped sandwiches on grill rack directly over medium heat. Cover and grill for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly toasted and cheese is melted, turning once halfway through grilling.
From the Test Kitchen
If using wooden skewers, soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

Mushrooms are actually fungi and "fungi" means more than one fungus. Eww! Should you eat a fungus? Yes, when it's an edible mushroom, like the shiitaki mushroom shown in the photo.
They're low in calories and they're good for you. Mushrooms are a good source of B vitamins and the minerals potassium and selenium.
Mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked. Try them on your salad, your pizza, in your soup, or your Chinese meal.
While mushrooms are grouped in the vegetable category, they're different. They don't grow from seeds, they grow from microscopic spores. The spores must get all the nutrients they need from the compost they're planted in — rich brew that can include straw, corn cobs, cotton seed and cocoa seed hulls, gypsum and nitrogen supplements. Later, peat moss (a rich brown soil) is added. At the market, you might see a trace of peat moss left on your mushrooms. Wash before eating and enjoy!

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
For all those that hate genwunners
Oh man I get you. I like a couple of the later gens too, but I don't spreads my ideas onto other people like you guys do. It's also unrealistic to think that all fans of the Pokemon games can't find a later gen that they like atleast somewhat, but yet people keep going back to Mewtwo and Charizard. How about that Psycho Boost? What about that Drought? Ring a bell?

i thought anyone who has stuck with pokemon since its conception has an appreciation for all pokemon

I wouldn't expect anything, the original "argument" is flawed from the start. Ok, yeah... so they buff older Pokemon in more recent games... that doesn't mean the older games are better. If anything, it's an argument in support of the more recent generations.
"Oh no...wiki has attained self-consciousness!" -SOLDIER_Bankai
Thanks, you misread my point and then failed to bring up an actual argument.
Genwunner=someone who insists the first gen is the best and every other gen is inferior in every way.
Now come at me!
I will. If you create a name for gen 1 then you have to do so for all gens. It's pointless because outside of broken later Pokemon, gen 1, is the only gen that gets all the love. So there I came at you.

What about the kids who just got into Pokemon but are scared of all these over complicated designs? Are they allowed to have an appreciation for Pokemon?

Thanks, you misread my point and then failed to bring up an actual argument.
So all the Hoennbabies who proclaimed the forthcoming arrival of Gen III remakes for ages don't exist? Anyone who hasn't played Gen I, but still likes pokemon? There are plenty who dislike Gen I, and there are some who like it. Also, don't talk about forcing opinions before trying to force people that Gen I is good.

White House chefs look for sensitivity, not a star
CONCORD, N.H. Speculating about a new chef at the White House has become – as one culinary insider puts it – fantasy football for foodies.
But as tempting as it may be to see the Obama family's choice as the ultimate "Top Chef" competition, former White House chefs say the job is about selfless service, not star power.
Walter Scheib, White House executive chef for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, believes there's a 90 percent chance the new administration will stick with his successor, Cristeta Comerford. And if the Obamas do hire someone new, it won't be a television personality or any of the celebrity names bandied about on food and political blogs, he said.
"None of these people have any idea what the job is about," said Scheib. "And they're temperamentally not suited for it. You have to be a person who has a real heart of service, and it can't be someone who needs to see themselves on camera."
Roland Mesnier, who retired in 2004 after 25 years as the White House's executive pastry chef, would never recommend a TV chef for the first family.
"Celebrity chefs, in my book, are not chefs. They're entertainers," he said. "All these people on TV? Forget it."
A spokesman for President-elect Barack Obama said it's too early to comment whether there will be a new executive chef. But outside speculation has focused on Art Smith, Oprah Winfrey's personal chef; NBA star Carmelo Anthony's personal chef, Daniel Young, who cooked for Obama at the Democratic National Convention; and Rick Bayless, whose Chicago restaurant Topolobampo is a favorite of Obama's.
At the same time, members of the Organic Consumers Association are organizing a letter-writing campaign urging Obama to promote healthy, sustainable and organic eating by hiring a well-known organic chef such as Nora Pouillon or Alice Waters.
None of the above would be a good fit, said Scheib.
"I get a kick out of all these people saying the No. 1 thing should be green, or sustainable or this, that or the other thing. They're missing the point. It's not about advancing your agenda. It's not about building your repertoire. It's not about getting your business promoted," he said. "It's about serving the first family, first, last and in every way. That's the only job."
The head chef earns $80,000-$100,000 a year creating menus for state dinners, holiday functions, receptions and official luncheons hosted by the president and first lady. Though the gala affairs are organizational challenges, Scheib says the greater challenge comes on the personal side: feeding the president, his family and guests.
A White House chef's sensitivity and understanding is just as important as culinary skills, given that the chef is among the few people who interact with the first family in private, Scheib and Mesnier say.
"For the domestic staff – and for all the fancy titles, that's all the people in the residence are – how they learn the temperament and temperature of the first family is crucial. It makes doing a state dinner look easy," said Scheib, who has written a book and started a business planning private events since leaving the White House. "The challenge is how you give them everything they need and at the same time expand their horizons if they choose, but at the same time, not being underfoot."

Understanding the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Regions
What really results from deploying open data apps in the society and particularly in grass-root communities? Why then should we encourage the technology community to explore the business and revenue opportunities that are presented by open data? On what evidential basis,are we demanding from the government (and other organizations) to maintain open data portals?
While conversations and research work around open data is relatively new and mainly focused on a country's readiness to adopt open government, there arises new research challenges with regards to the impacts of existing and upcoming open data initiatives.Many proponents of open data are using hypothetical justifications as to why open data is useful in promoting transparency and increasing service delivery- as a result of increased access to information.
In countries such as Kenya, literature suggests that advocates of open data have been painting a dreamy picture of the benefits of open data without hard facts on the real results that open data has produced. Subsequently, there have been articles to the effect that the Open Data Initiative is dead, and that big data is all hype and has no realized impact.This is because there are few attempts, if any, to really show how open data has changed anyone's life; what sustainable impacts it has had at scale in society; and if it has provided a good business model case for entrepreneurs, companies and government to wish to explore further.
We believe that if we can provide empirical evidence on Open Data achieving at least some of its objectives, this will provide the necessary push for our government and local organizations to proactively maintain the existing platforms and even catalyze their evolution to an all-open access repository.
In a previous post we announced our new project to study the emerging impacts of Open Data as a result of intermediary interventions through technology applications in Kenya. iHub Research will jump to fill the gaps in literature on emerging impacts of open data in developing countries in a monitoring and evaluation study on deployment of open data technology tools. The main objectives of this research are therefore:
- Understand the role that technology intermediaries play in facilitating impacts from Open Data– what is the usage and penetration of these apps; what sources of information are more valuable to citizens?
- Assess the value of these technology interventionswhich stimulate community uses of Open Data– is it by improved transparency, accountability, service delivery or citizen participation; do they address social issues and empower citizens to make informed decisions?
- Preliminary literature review on the state of open data in Kenya and how other countries quantify impact of their Open Data initiatives
- Active deployment of select open data appssuch as those deployed by Code4Kenya etc. and field research to monitor usage of these apps
- Dashboard analytics of the apps and possibly, related open data portals to also monitor usage of the apps during the deployments.
This research, coordinated by the World Wide Web Foundation and funded by grant 107075 from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC, Canada), will be conducted for a period of nine months, beginning April 2013.

Property Details
House, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 4 Baths, (Sleeps 7+)
We are a family of five who have lived most of our lives here in San Francisco. We have also traveled extensively and love to stay in the local neighborhoods in apartments or homes.
We love San Francisco and the uniqueness of each neighborhood. When we decided to raise our kids in the city, we
prioritized the ability to be close to restaurants, outdoor activities and the ability to walk/bike ride around town. Our place is not only very central but is is also in the flats which makes it very easy to just open the door and start walking to the inevitable activities and adventures the city offers. Plus, should we decide to drive somewhere, there is a calming factor of knowing we can just pull into the garage when we get home and we don't have to worry about finding a parking spot.
(Pictures of property may not be exact).
Keywords: This spacious, light filled home is located in the heart of Cow Hollow and features four bedrooms and four full bathrooms. Extensively rebuilt in 2000, the combined kitchen / living / dining room has vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a fireplace, making it the perfect space for entertaining guests or for a quiet dinner at home. Adjacent to this living area is a south-facing patio with landscaping and a water fountain where sunny afternoons can be enjoyed. The master bedroom suite includes a fireplace, walk-in closet, large soaking tub, and another patio. There are three additional bedrooms - two upstairs sharing a 'Jack and Jill' bathroom - and a separate fourth bedroom (used as office) with an adjacent bath. The upper bedrooms have access to a deck with great views of the Golden Gate Bridge. On the lower level, just off the main entrance to the home, is a wonderful entertainment space with a pool table and a separate, quiet movie/game/play room.

High end property with exceptionally good care and service from the owners
The property is exactly as described and we found the standard to be exceptionally high. Our children particularly appreciated the extensive games rooms and the pool table.
All the fittings and fixtures were new and of very good quality - a real high quality home from home. The house is spacious, well equipped and very clean and tidy. We usually stay in the more expensive designer homes when we travel and this met all our expectations.
In particular Mike provides a caring and excellent service - his communication was first class and he met us at the house on time as arranged - he provided a great list of places to visit and the booking process was smooth and professional. On arrival Mike thought there may be a problem with the hot water (there was not in the end) but he moved heaven and earth to ensure that it would be remedied and was concerned and proactive about the comfort and welfare of his visitors.
The property is situated in a fabulous area. There are dozens of great restaurants and cafes just a minutes walk away as well as good shopping and night life too. We were able to walk to the bay and hire bikes which we used for the duration of our stay. We didn't think we would leave our car in the garage, but it stayed there the whole time as the location really is superb. Just to mention the garage can fit a large seven seat mini van (just)
Also I wanted to thank Mike for the nice touches - he heard that I and my Wife had just got married before arriving and we found a bottle of champagne waiting for us, This is just one example of a decent person going above and beyond in providing a considerate and professional service for his guests.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mike's place to stay to have a great vacation or stopover in San Francisco - we definitely would rent again when we next visit.
With thanks from Bern Adams and his family August 2012

We love the experience and would recomended without hesitation.
Wonderful choice.
Amazing House and Great Location!
From the Owner
"Location! Location! Location! It is crazy how close to everything this house is. When inside, it is a quiet oasis and cozy home and then when you open the front door you are instantly in the heart of all activity, restaurants, near parks, libraries, bike paths, etc. 8 BLOCKS FROM AMERICA's CUP VIEWING! On top of that, there is no need to find a parking spot (as the house has an attached garage) or worry about feeding meters/getting tickets/moving your car. Also, Cow Hollow has some of the best weather in SF."
Activity and Interests
This location is in the center of all Northside activity and a fantastic home base for those that want to see san Francisco and the broader bay area, Napa, etc. A car is literally optional as most places can be reached by walking, biking or taking the bus. Incredibly easy access to the Palace of Fine Arts/ Exploratorium, the Presidio, the Disney Museum and to bicycle over the Golden Gate Bridge and have lunch in Sausalito. You can walk or bus to Chinatown and North Beach and Lombard Street....and so much more. You are literally a football's throw to the famous 'Triangle/Balboa Cafe' and in between Chestnut and Union Streets-where you will find San Francisco's best restaurants and night life. Never a dull moment and a fantastic location to experience SF in a very 'locals' way.

From the Owner
"We love our home as there is a 'great room' that gives us space to be together, play games and have friends over. It is 3300 sq feet and has a downstairs level that will entertain all types of people for hours. There is a pool table, foosball, pingpong table, and a movie room that is also a great escape. The house is spacious and has 'together' space but there are also plenty of nooks to escape to if you want to be alone. Two of my favorite escapes are taking a book to the outside balcony with a view of the GG Bridge or soaking in the master suite tub."

Sedalia - T-shirts promoting the Smith-Cotton High School band's fall program have been recalled because of concerns about the shirt's evolution theme.
Assistant superintendent Brad Pollitt said parents complained to him after the band marched in the Missouri State Fair parade. Though the shirts don't violate the school's dress code, Pollitt noted that the district is required by law to remain neutral on religion.
"If the shirts had said 'Brass Resurrections' and had a picture of Jesus on the cross, we would have done the same thing," Pollitt said. ...

Fertility Clock and Fertility Calculator
For example, a healthy 30 year old attempting pregnancy each month will have 18% chance of getting pregnant every month. This means that for every 100 fertile 30 year old women trying to get pregnant during one cycle, 18 will get pregnant and the other 82 will have to try again. A 40 year old woman will have 5% chance of pregnancy if she tries every month.
Egg quality is extremely important as the internal organelles of the egg are primarily responsible for creating a chromosomally normal embryo.
The Natural Process of Egg Selection – Only the Strongest Egg Survives
Unsuitable eggs may fail to become fertilized or not divide properly leading to failed implantation or abortion. Unfortunately, the changes discussed above cannot be reversed and with advancing age, even IVF may not overcome the egg abnormalities. In these cases the physician may recommend the use of donor eggs to bring about a healthy pregnancy and a happy family.

Having the box in hand, I can tell you really the main thing against solo-play, is how do you determine "victory"? Some threshold of DF tokens to hit? Even if injured, theres never anything that can make you actually die or unable to leave the facility. The big issue might be getting too far inside, let the proximity meter get up there, and then be injured with not enough time to escape.
I did play a 2 player game "against" myself, but that doesn't really count. I will say the two player game is quite interesting (given how it changes up the turn order with operatives, each player controlling two and what not).
For solo play, I guess the big thing would be to set a threshold of target DF points, based on the amount of operatives you choose to field.
If you can choose a good target value, then you certainly have a game you can play solo. The two player rules already account for a notion of a single player controlling 2 operatives (separate item hands, DF pools, etc.). Just play the game as normal, and add up all DF tokens at the end (minus the ones for any operatives who could not escape). Some item cards may need to be removed, as they serve no purpose in a single player game (anything that raises the proximity level, or causes operatives to be delayed).

Geographic Range
Woodland dormice occur throughout Ethiopian region. They are widely distributed throughout Africa, from the southern edge of the Sahara Desert to Cape Province, South Africa. (Skinner and Chimimba, 2005; Webb and Skinner, 1994)
Woodland dormice are generalists and can be found in a broad range of habitats. Although they commonly nest in Acacia trees, their nests can also be found in tree hollows, rock crevices, on tree branches, in shrubs and even in abandoned bird nests and bee hives. (Fitzherbert, et al., 2006; Skinner and Chimimba, 2005; Webb and Skinner, 1994)

Physical Description
Woodland dormice are one of the larger African dormice species, ranging from 70 to 165 mm in head and body length and from 50 to 135 mm in tail length. They are squirrel-like in appearance, with dorsal pelage that ranges from light to dark gray and ventral pelage that is buffy white. They have short, soft wooly hair and a long bushy tail. A ring of darker fur often encircles their black eyes, and their ears range in length (a commonly used metric for species identification in mice) from 10 to 20 mm. They have short curved claws and their hind feet range in length from 15 to 20 mm. Woodland dormice range in mass from 23 to 34 g and are often confused with savannah dormice, which are detectably smaller. Their braincase is moderately cuboidal and domed, with slightly enlarged auditory bullae. (Grizmek, 2004; Haberl, 1999; Skinner and Chimimba, 2005; Webb and Skinner, 1994)

Limited information is available on the mating system of woodland dormice. At the onset of breeding season, however, males are very territorial and aggressive towards one another, suggesting polygyny. Once they emerge from their hibernacula, many species of dormice call out to alert potential mates of their presence. Once mated, males are likely to leave prior mates to search for additional estrous females. (Grizmek, 2004; Webb and Skinner, 1994)
- Mating System
- polygynous
Although most breeding occurs during the summer (October through February), woodland dormice commonly breed throughout the year (i.e., seasonal polyestry). Females have 1 to 2 litters per year. Gestation is thought to last for approximately 24 days, resulting in 3 to 4 altricial pups per litter; however, as many as 6 pups per litter may be possible. Pups weigh approximately 3.5 g at birth, and they are not reproductively mature until the summer after their first hibernation. (Grizmek, 2004; Haberl, 1999; Webb and Skinner, 1994)

Little information is available on the parental investments of woodland dormice. However, newborns are altricial and independence from the mother most likely occurs between 4 and 6 weeks of age. Mothers provide protection, grooming, and nourishment (e.g., nursing) until pups reach independence. Pups are cared for in nests lined with moss, which are often found in tree hollows, rock crevices, on tree branches, in shrubs and even in abandoned bird nests and bee hives. Detailed information on paternal investment has not been reported. (Grizmek, 2004; Haberl, 1999; Webb and Skinner, 1994; Wirminghaus and Perrin, 1993)

Woodland dormice are nocturnal and highly arboreal. They forage alone at night, mostly for insects and vegetation. In the fall, woodland dormice increase fat reserves by eating nuts and seeds prior to hibernating. During winter (May to August), when temperatures drop considerably, woodland dormice hibernate. During hibernation, they experience significant decreases in body temperature and mass. Their thermal neutral zone is between 29 and 35 °C, and they begin hibernating at an ambient temperature of about 15 °C. In the summer, woodland dormice may enter torpor during periods of decreased food abundance or when low or erratic temperatures occur. Woodland dormice are unique within their genus (Graphiurus), as they are the only African dormouse species to hibernate during the winter. (Ellison and Skinner, 1991; Webb and Skinner, 1996; Whittington-Jones and Brown, 1999)
During periods of inactivity, African dormice spend time in their nests, which are typically made of plant material and found in tree cavities, shrubs, and rock crevices. To prevent heat loss, they curl themselves into a ball and wrap their tails around their bodies. Males, females, and juveniles may occupy an individual nest, and as many as 11 adults, consisting of both genders, have been found to occupy a single nest. African dormice use nests year round; however, nest type changes in relation to season. During the winter, they use nests that are better insulated and closer to the ground, than those used during the summer. (Grizmek, 2004; Haberl, 1999; Madikiza, et al., 2010; Skinner and Chimimba, 2005; Webb and Skinner, 1994)
Males are territorial during the breeding season and establish a social hierarchy once they emerge from hibernation. Males scent mark and make warning vocalizations to demarcate and defend nesting territories, respectively. Although females scent mark territorial boundaries, they do not make warning vocalizations to ward off members of opposing groups. (Grizmek, 2004; Haberl, 1999; Madikiza, et al., 2010; Skinner and Chimimba, 2005; Webb and Skinner, 1994)

Home Range
Although little information is available on the size and composition of woodland dormice home ranges, its close relative, the spectacled dormouse (Graphiurus ocularis), has an average home-range size of 13.9 ha for males and 8.5 ha for females. Generally, there are about 10 woodland dormice per ha. ("International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)", 2010; Grizmek, 2004)
Communication and Perception
Woodland dormice make a variety of vocalizations including mating calls, territorial calls, alarm squeaks, and twittering sounds, for which the meaning is unknown. In addition, woodland dormice are likely to use visual, haptic (e.g., sense of touch), and olfactory cues to communicate with one another. Scent marking is likely used to establish territories and find mates, whereas vocalizations are probably used to find and defend mates, and defend territories. (Grizmek, 2004; Haberl, 1999; Webb and Skinner, 1994)
- Other Communication Modes
- scent marks
Food Habits
Woodland dormice are omnivores, with dietary composition changing in relation to season. During spring, they eat primarily buds and insects, but occasionally eat small rodents and the eggs and young of small birds. In summer and fall, they eat fruit, seeds, and nuts to increase fat reserves for hibernation, and when food abundance is low, they may also eat bark and twigs. (Grizmek, 2004; Nowakowski, et al., 2006; Webb and Skinner, 1994; Wirminghaus and Perrin, 1992)

- birds
- reptiles
- eggs
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
- Plant Foods

- wood, bark, or stems
- seeds, grains, and nuts
- fruit
Woodland dormice are preyed upon mostly by owls, and their remains have been found in the pellets of Mackinder's eagle owl (Bubo capensis mackinderi) in East Africa. Because they are both arboreal and nocturnal, woodland dormice have few predators. (Rodel, et al., 2002)
- Anti-predator Adaptations
- cryptic
- Known Predators
- Makinder's eagle owl (Bubo capensis)
Ecosystem Roles
Woodland dormice may play a role in the population dynamics of arthropods, which constitutes a significant proportion of their diet. Because they forage on various types of fruits and nuts, they may also be important seed dispersers. Finally, they are an important prey species for owls. (Haberl, 1999; Nowakowski, et al., 2006)
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
African dormice have no documented economic effect on humans. However, due to their high fat content, they are a preferred source of protein in some cultures. Human consumption of dormice is a well documented global phenomenon. (Grizmek, 2004)
- Positive Impacts
- food
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Woodland dormice are sometimes thought of as nuisances, as they occasionally make their nests in old furniture, roofs, electrical switch boxes, water pumps, and transformers. They can cause agricultural damage by raiding poultry farms and foraging on crops. (Grizmek, 2004; Haberl, 1999; Skinner and Chimimba, 2005)
Woodland dormice are potential vectors for bubonic plague and monkeypox. A 2007 study in northern Tanzania found woodland dormice that were positive for Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague. (Holden and Levine, 2009; Makundi, 2008)
- Negative Impacts
injures humans
- carries human disease
- crop pest
- household pest
Conservation Status
Woodland dormice exhibit stable population trends and currently, there are no major threats to this species. The IUCN lists woodland dormice as a species of "least concern". ("International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)", 2010)

Infrastructure work across the city may come to a standstill. The civil contractors, who have taken up several projects from the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), have threatened to stop work after the Dasara festival to protest against non-payment of their pending bills.
R.J. Srinivas, president of the BBMP Contractors' Association, said the contractors would also not participate in tenders floated by the BBMP.
The pending bills for the last 15 months amount to Rs. 1,600 crore. He said many contractors were in dire straits and not even able to pay wages to their labourers.
At present, the contractors have taken up works worth Rs. 500 crore across the city. "If our pending bills are not cleared at least before Ayudha pooja, we will stop all works. We will consider seeking legal recourse by approaching the High Court," he said.
Meanwhile, a nonplussed Mayor B.S. Satyanarayana told reporters that the BBMP was already in talks with the contractors' association. The pending bills of August 2012 would be released soon. He said he had also directed the BBMP Commissioner to release the bills through a single-window system. "We understand their plight. We have urged them to give us time to clear dues," he added.

I miscarried and am pregnant again. How can I control my worries?
I miscarried my first pregnancy. I'm now 14 weeks into my second pregnancy and I'm still very nervous about something going wrong. This pregnancy is going very well -- but I still have this nagging fear in the back of my mind. What can I do to make myself feel better?

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks in May 2006. The pregnancy seemed like it was going great and I had no idea anything was wrong until the Dr. couldn't find the heartbeat, we were devastated. I am now 7 weeks pregnant, estatic, and so scared that something will go wrong. I saw the baby's heartbeat last week and everything seems to be going well but it is hard to get too excited with the previous miscarriage looming over my head. Good luck to you all of you going through the same thing. I pray that all of us have healthy babies!posted 11/18/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
to beth - my doctor adivsed me to wait two periods before starting to try again after my miscarriageposted 09/23/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a previous miscarriage @ about 6 weeks which the OB told me was common amongst first pregnancies. She recommended giving myself a couple of months to heal and then we could try again. She told me there was no increased chance of m/c after one. After two would be an issue. After almost a year of trying, I am now 34 weeks pregnant and I know I stressed myself into high bp that first three months. Take it easy. Go see your OB ASAP and have her check your HCG levels (a simple blood test). That is the best way early on to put your mind at ease. They should double every so often or at least go up. Once you have a sonogram and see the heartbeat your risk of m/c goes down to 10-20%. Relax and take care of yourself. Good Luck.posted 08/11/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I am really sorry about your loss. I miscarried 3 times in a row, and am now 35 weeks pregnant with my third child. In every pregnancy, there is a risk and a concern of miscarriage. Most women (85% according to my doctor)go on to have a normal, healthy pregnancy after miscarriage. Best of luck to you. God bless.posted 08/08/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I had three miscarriages and am now 20 weeks pregnant with everything progressing well. Keep trying!!!!!!!! It will happen!posted 08/07/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
When I read about the woman who is 14 weeks and is nervous because of a prior miscarriage, I thought the comments would be a lot more uplifting, but these comments are so depressing, I too am in my second trimester with a prior miscarriage and was hoping to read something positive. Well maybe this will help someone out there. I feel great so far, yes I worry sometimes, but so many women do go on to have a healthy baby after a miscarriage. So please don't be discouraged with the comments, just take one day at a time and relax.posted 08/07/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
the first time i had ever gotten pregnant it ended it miscarriage. i remember being devistated. a lot of things ran through my mind was it my fault? what could i have done to prevent it? will i ever be able to become pregnant? the one thing i've learned though through a lot of time and depression of about 3 years is that things happen for a reason. whatever that reason may be even though you don't see it right now will be for the best.posted 08/07/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I recently had a m/c in December at 10 weeks and was heartbroken. I had to have faith that things happen for a reason. Luckily, I got pregnant again within two months and now I am 23 wks along. In the beginning, it was hard to let go of the paranoia that it would happen again. Honestly, the thought is still in the back of my mind, but as I get further along and I feel the baby move, the fear gets smaller and smaller. At some point you need to give in to the excitement and try to let go of the fear.posted 07/19/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My first pregnancy I miscarried at 11 weeks. Almost a year later I am 6 weeks pregnant. First, I just want to say to Jennifer that the only way to get rid of the nagging fear of another miscarriage is to deliver a healthy baby. I will always fear it. Second, it is usually good to wait until you have a couple normal periods after a miscarriage to try again. Every woman has a risk for miscarriage, some more then others. But if your miscarriage was like mine, spontanious, then the risk for the second miscarriage is no greater then the first. You have a good chance of carrying the child full term as long as you were healthy, and it wasn't something wrong with you that caused the miscarriage ( like hormone levels)... This is all the stuff my DR. told me after my miscarriage. Hope it helps. Good Luck to everyoneposted 05/08/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi everyone, I had a m/c Sept. 2-05 I was about 6 weeks. We found out we are preg. again I am about 5 weeks now.

Ecija cops won't nab vice mayor's brother in engineer's slay
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
CARRANGLAN, Nueva Ecija—Police are looking at a land dispute as a possible motive behind the shooting and killing of an engineer allegedly by the brother of this town's vice mayor in Barangay Joson on Sunday.
Senior Insp. Joseph Sta. Cruz, town police chief, said Alexander Mejia, 67, also a businessman, was surveying a parcel of land in Sitio Pulo with Mario Faustino, a geodetic engineer, and Geminiano Lozano at about 5 p.m. when Erwin Alfonso, brother of Vice Mayor Efren Alfonso Jr., arrived and confronted the group.
Land grab
According to Sta. Cruz, there was a heated argument between Mejia and Alfonso that led to Alfonso shooting Mejia with a handgun. Police, however, have yet to arrest Alfonso.
Chana Mejia-Lopez, the victim's sister, said her brother was trying to recover his property in this town, which he left a few years ago when he went abroad to attend to a business venture.
"It was my brother's land, which Alfonso possessed without notice," Lopez said.
The Inquirer on Wednesday tried to reach Alfonso through Vice Mayor Alfonso but police officials said the vice mayor was not yet ready to talk to reporters regarding the issue.
Sta. Cruz said the provincial police's Criminal Investigation and Detection Group has joined the investigation on Wednesday and started collecting pieces of evidence and statements so they could file a case against
Lopez asked the police to ensure the safety of Faustino
and Lozano, the witnesses in the case, because of the perceived influence of the suspect's family.
"They fear for their lives because the suspect is very influential," she said.
Sta. Cruz said he has assigned policemen to secure the witnesses. Armand Galang, Inquirer Central Luzon

Incidence of major adverse events was also lower than researchers anticipated
TUESDAY, Jan. 29 (HealthDay News) -- In a large study comparing the real-life effectiveness of two different drug-coated stents, Danish researchers found no overall difference between the two stents and a lower rate of problems than had been anticipated.
The scientists looked at more than 2,000 people who had these flexible tubes implanted to help keep arteries open, and the rate of major adverse events such as death, heart attack or blockage of the treated artery was about the same for stents coated with the drug paclitaxel, marketed by Boston Scientific, and those coated with sirolimus, marketed by Cordis. The report, funded by both stent makers, is published in the Jan. 30 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study included people who underwent the artery-opening procedure called angioplasty, followed by stent implants, for a variety of conditions. It mostly involved patients who had had heart attacks, but it included some who had the disabling heart pain called angina. Previous, smaller studies have included a much narrower patient base.
"This is the first large-scale study to address the problem this way," said Dr. Kirk Garratt, clinical director of interventional cardiovascular research at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "They excluded hardly anyone. And in a clinical practice that treats a broad spectrum of patients, it doesn't seem to matter much whether patients get the sirolimus-eluting stent or the paclitaxel-eluting stent."
The study did give a slight, but not statistically significant, edge to the sirolimus stent. The incidence of major adverse events was 9.3 percent for those getting that stent, compared to 11.2 percent for those getting the paclitaxel stent. Stent thrombosis rates were 2.5 percent for the sirolimus stent and 2.9 percent for the paclitaxel stent.
