A high-stakes political confrontation is now under way over SCHIP, the State Children's Health Insurance Program. The exploding partisan confrontation marks the end game of the eight years of the presidency of George W. Bush. It will feature a lot of partisan charges, serious distortions of the truth, and political fireworks intertwined with the 2008 election process.
SCHIP is a federal-state grant program enacted in 1997. Its purpose is to pay for health care for children from working families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid. Its ten-year authorization expires Oct. 30. On Sept. 28 President Bush vetoed the sharply expanded reauthorization bill sent to him by the Democratic Congress. Congress will vote on overriding the veto sometime this month.
Already the state's liberal voices are in full-throated attack mode. The three-man Congressional delegation issued a statement accusing Bush of lusting for war in Iraq, but oblivious to struggling working families here at home. Sen. Bernie Sanders is certain to tap his inexhaustible supply of outrage to denounce the heartless monster in the oval office.
Republican Gov. Jim Douglas, whose administration needs federal money to slow down the coming shortfalls in Vermont's health care programs, says he urged the President to sign the bill. Douglas says he hopes that a legislative solution can be found, but if not, he would entertain the idea of having Vermont join in yet another political lawsuit.
The lawsuit would ask the courts to declare that the federal government, in sending billions of tax dollars to the states, cannot impose the cruel, mean-spirited requirement that benefits for families of four be given out only when their earnings are less than $53,000 a year.
The Democrats see the Bush veto as a wonderful opportunity to pound lumps on a Republican president they detest. This is especially attractive since the new fire-breathing liberal Congress has been embarrassingly unable to force an immediate abandonment of Iraq. Nor will it dare to enact an enormous carbon tax to fight what liberals have declared to be the Menace of Global Warming, or reinstate the Clinton gun control laws, or enact another universal taxpayer-supported Hillarycare health plan.

Local Chivas Soccer Club Joins Dr. Aliza to Urge Hispanics to Vaccinate Adolescents Against Meningitis and Whooping Cough
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Mariano Trujillo, a defender for professional soccer team Chivas USA, joined nationally recognized health expert Dr. Aliza Lifshitz today to strongly urge all local Hispanic families to vaccinate adolescent children against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, such as meningococcal meningitis and whooping cough.
Trujillo and Dr. Aliza headlined a special event in Los Angeles as part of the Vacune a Sus Hijos Adolescentes (Get Your Teens Vaccinated) public awareness initiative. They spoke to more than 100 Latino preteens and teens about meningococcal meningitis and pertussis (whooping cough), and the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program that provides eligible children 18 years of age and younger with free or low-cost vaccines for these and other vaccine-preventable diseases.( )
"Like in soccer, Latino families need a team approach to make sure adolescents get vaccinated against meningitis and whooping cough," said Trujillo. "Chivas USA joined Vacune a Sus Hijos Adolescentes to make sure all Latino parents and their teens in LA know they need to get these vaccines."
Improving adolescent immunization is currently a critical public health issue in Los Angeles County. Cases of meningococcal meningitis peak in late winter and early spring. In addition, there has been a statewide epidemic of whooping cough for the past six months. The California Department of Public Health recently instituted a new requirement, going into effect this year, that all students entering or advancing into 7(th) – 12(th) grades must receive the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster shot before starting school to help protect teens from these serious infections.
Despite Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations that preteens and teens get vaccinated against meningitis and pertussis, only about half of Latino preteens and teens receive their vaccinations, leaving many unvaccinated children in their communities at risk. In response, Eastmont Community Center in East LA recently launched Vacune a Sus Hijos Adolescentes, with support by Sanofi Pasteur, to help educate LA County's Hispanic community about serious infectious diseases that can strike preteens and teens, and to encourage parents to contact their health-care provider or local public health department to learn if their children qualify for the VFC program.
"As the ongoing whooping cough epidemic shows, vaccine-preventable diseases can still present significant public health problems," said Dr. Aliza. "Parents of students in or entering high school should have their children vaccinated against whooping cough now, to help keep them healthy and to prepare for the new school requirement. The good news for many families is that this and all other recommended adolescent vaccines are offered for free or at low cost through the VFC program."
Vacune a Sus Hijos Adolescentes features a wide variety of educational activities to reach parents in Los Angeles, including radio, TV and newspaper interviews, bus shelter and billboard announcements, public service spots, involvement from civic and political leaders, and a special task force of Spanish-speaking women, called "Promotoras," who are specifically trained to share important community messages through word-of-mouth communications.
Preteens and Teens at Increased Risk
Preteens and teens are at risk for potentially life-threatening diseases, such as meningitis and whooping cough.( )Vaccination is a safe and effective way to help protect teens against these serious diseases and can help prevent their spread to other populations.( )However, only about half of Latino teens 13 to 17 years of age have been immunized against meningitis and whooping cough.
VFC Offers Free or Low-Cost Vaccines
To help families who might not otherwise get their children vaccinated because of their inability to pay, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program provides free or low-cost vaccines for children through 18 years of age.( ) Children who are eligible for Medicaid, children without health insurance, and children with private health insurance that does not include vaccines may all be eligible for the VFC program.
Parents are encouraged to contact their health-care provider or their local public health department to find out whether their children are eligible for the VFC vaccination program. To find the nearest VFC provider, parents can visit the California Department of Public Health/California Immunization Coalition's VFC directory at vacunasymisalud.org (click on Programa de vacunas).
About Pertussis and Meningococcal Disease
Cases of pertussis, commonly called "whooping cough," have been increasing among American teens. Whooping cough can cause a serious cough for weeks or even months. Fifty percent to 80 percent of unvaccinated children who are in school with someone who has whooping cough may potentially catch the disease. In addition, up to 90 percent of unvaccinated children living in a household with someone with whooping cough risk contracting the disease.
Although rare, meningococcal disease, which includes meningococcal meningitis, is a serious bacterial infection that can cause death within 24 to 48 hours of first symptoms.( )About 10 percent of the 1000 to 2600 Americans who get meningococcal disease each year will die. Death rates are up to 5 times higher among teenagers and young adults (15 through 24 years of age) compared with other age groups. Among those who survive, 1 in 5 is left with long-term disabilities including limb amputations, brain damage, and hearing loss. This infection can spread from person to person during common, everyday activities like being in close contact and sharing drinking glasses.
Public health officials recommend that preteens and teens receive a meningococcal vaccination and a tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster vaccine. These and other recommended vaccines are available through the VFC program.

Although McDonald says it is too early to draw conclusions from the current clinical trial, he suggests there is reason to be optimistic based on animal studies and evidence from another clinical trial in Europe. In that trial, patients and study investigators knew which patients were actually taking the experimental drug, meaning it was an "open" study. The current U.S. study is more rigorous because doctors and families are "blinded" about which drug regimen each participant has -- either one of two dosages of the drug or a placebo -- until the end of the study.
According to McDonald, the antisense oligonucleotide-mediated genetic therapy approach is particularly exciting because of its potential applications to most other variants of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other genetic diseases. Although the current experimental therapy specifically addresses mutations in only one particular region of the gene, the same therapeutic concept can be applied to many others.
"If successful, this approach can be developed into specific gene therapy that represents truly personalized medicine," said McDonald. "Covering a mutation to restore a normal genetic open reading frame for protein synthesis can be a powerful approach for a variety of genetic diseases."
Standardizing the drug as a therapy for Duchenne patients still requires approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Investigators say the therapy could be similar to insulin injections for diabetes. But rather than daily injections, the Duchenne treatment might only involve weekly shots, which youngsters could learn to administer on their own.
Now that the clinical trial is closed at UC Davis to new enrollees, McDonald

The Academy offers a public sphere for cross-disciplinary communication within the general field of built human environment, city. We don't focus in the different disciplines of art and science. We focus on local knowledge, people and stories. The Academy is more like a Pub than a University � or like a public sauna in Finland, where everybody is stripped naked from the President to the Police. We must build a public sauna to the Ruin Academy. The Ruin Academy sends an open call to think on the urban environment � the city, the people and the nature. We want to understand the ruining processes in Taipei. Ruin is when man-made has become part of nature. People are ruining the industrial city; this is connected with the local knowledge. Who are the professors of the Local Knowledge in Taipei? They should be the bar-tenders of the Ruin Academy. The Ruin Academy is an independent and free platform where the different student groups and other players can meet. The Academy is about knowledge building. It is a simultaneous construction site and a ruin. We don't know what we will find but the first step is to break the box, ruin the city. What comes to the academic control, we will give up in order to let nature step into our ruin. There is no other discipline than nature.

Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalke (Mosfilm, 1979) is taking sophisticated people into the Zone, where their deepest wishes may come true. The Zone which is the organic ruin mirroring the surrounding mechanical reality. For the Strugatsky brothers (Arkady & Boris) the Zone was a Roadside Picnic. The community gardens of Taipei are Roadside Picnic. Grandmothers can take us there, like Stalker. The honorable L�vi-Strauss could be happy to start new ethnographical research between the parallel realities of the cultures of the urban compost gardens and the surrounding city � the reversed modernization and focusing in Local Knowledge. Horkheimers & Adorno's graves should be moved in one of these urban acupuncture spots of Taipei. Here even they would find hope, surrounded by the valueless modernity and hard industrialism. Prof. Jaakko H�meen-Anttila has said: "The valueless void of the society of today will be filled with Sociology is a science of human social activity. ethics: the corners are windy." With the recognition of the urban farms and community gardens Taipei has found its corners. What is the ethics then pushing through these corners into the city? It could be called Local Knowledge, site-specific reactions building a bridge between the modern man and nature. The gardens of Taipei, these acupuncture points, are penetrating through the industrial surface of the city and reaching the original ground. The self organized community gardens are the urban acupuncture needles of Taipei. Local Knowledge is in connection with the first generation city, when the built human These areas are operating outside the official urban control or the economic standard mechanisms. They are voids in the urban structure that suck in ad-hoc community actions and present a platform for anarchy through gardening. For the vitality of Taipei, the networks of the anarchist gardens seem to provide a positive social disorder; positive terrorism. They are tuning the industrial city towards the organic, towards accident and in this sense they are ruining the modern urbanism. They are punctual organic revolutions and the seeds of the Third Generation City, the organic ruin of the industrial city. environment was dependent on nature and regulated by nature. Now the anarchist gardeners are regulating the industrial city. planning to improve the built, economic and social environments of communities. Urban planning integrates land use planning and transportation Urban design concerns the arrangement, appearance and functionality of towns and cities, and in particular the shaping and uses of urban public space. political, historical or social context. Environmental art is art dealing with ecological issues and possibly in The root of anarchism is the single impulse to do it yourself: everything else follows from this. Anarchy is acting without waiting for instructions or official permission. sleeping areas of the city, which could be referred to as urban composts. T he community gardens and urban farms of Taipei are astonishing. They pop up like mushrooms on the degenerated, neglected or Dominate the no-man's land The community gardens are taking over abandoned construction sites and ruined housing areas, empty city-blocks waiting for development, flood banks of the rivers and even grave-yards out of fashion. In many cases the gardens are flourishing on spots of land where the land-owner issues are unsettle or complicated. Sometimes the garden will stay in the spot for only a couple of years, as in the cases of soon to be developed areas and sometimes the urban farming has decades long traditions as with the river flood plains or on the island in-between Zhongxiao and Zhongshing bridges. The smaller urban farms are flexible and eager to overtake the empty spots of the city, eager to dominate the no-man's land. One of the more famous urban farming communities of Taipei was the Corners are windy Claude L�vi-Strauss believes in the beauty of the human nature as part of nature. Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno lost all the hope for the industrial development and said it has failed the promise of the Enlightment 7 Urban garden near Taipei 101 Photo by � Treasure Hill settlement, originally an illegal community of KMT veterans. During its legitimating process Treasure Hill became so famous that eventually the original community was kicked away by the city government and the houses were taken over by artists and art related organizations. All the farms were destroyed on the process. Sounds like urban warfare against urban acupuncture. Treasure Hill was powerful and self-sustained when it was illegal. The community built its own houses and its own farms and it made its own rules. The official city wanted to eliminate this unofficial organic rival. NGOs found the issue sexy and stepped in to protect and legitimize the settlement. In the end the NGOs and artists took over the now-famous community and hooked up with the city government. The original urban farmers didn't fit the picture anymore and had to leave. Now you can listen gansta-rap in a yellow plastic tent where the gardens used to be. Local knowledge died. But Treasure Hill is not alone. Urban farming happens through different social classes and through out the city. The socially disordered citizens are ready to occupy land and start the community farms over and over again. Some acupuncture spots get hot and benefit the surrounding urban tissue while others fade away. The industrial surface of the city keeps constantly being broken up and herbs and vegetables are planted into the cracks. People are ruining the industrial city. Ruin is when man-made has become part of nature. In this rough editing process the anarchist gardeners seem to act as micro-editors, parasites benefiting of the slow circles of the big-scale development. They occupy the not so sexy areas of the city and they jump in the more sleepy parts of the development cycle. For example � the developer buys a whole city block with originally many land-owners. The process is slow because he has to negotiate with all of them. While the process is dragging behind the urban farmers step in and start farming the area. The developer doesn't want to cause any more fuss and let it happen. It takes 3-5 years before the developer has got all the area to his possession and those same years the site acts as the community garden. When the actual construction starts the gardeners have already occupied a next vacant spot in the city. after the lions have made the kill. Money is a good consultant and the generating force of the developer run urban editing process. This is not urban acupuncture though; it is more like a western style medical practice � operations on the body removing, changing or maintaining parts � or even plastic surgery. (Oh, Shanghai has bigger tits than Taipei.) The body is not necessarily seen as one big organism. Third Generation City First generation city was the human settlement in straight connection with nature and dependent on nature. The fertile and rich Taipei basing provided a fruitful environment for such a settlement. The rivers were full of fish and good for transportation and the mountains protected the farmed plains from the straightest hits of the frequent typhoons. The second generation city is the industrial city. Industrialism claimed the citizens independence from nature � a mechanical environment could provide human everything needed. Nature was seen as something un-necessary or as something hostile � it was walled away from the mechanical reality. Third Generation City is the organic ruin of the industrial city. The community gardens of Taipei are fragments of the third generation urbanism when they exist together with the industrial surroundings. Local Knowledge is present in the city and this is where Ruin Academy focuses its research. Among the urban gardeners are the local knowledge professors of Taipei. Third Generation City is true when the city recognizes its local knowledge and allows itself to be part of nature. Urban Editors Compared to Western cities Taipei plays in quite different rules. The aesthetics of the city is dominated by the functionality of a big collective machine and the urban mechanism is constantly being edited and rendered as with changing the micro-chips or other parts of a supercomputer into more powerful ones. The urban data is people and this is what the machine needs to process. Mostly it goes smoothly, but also people get viruses � they get together to spontaneous demonstrations, they do tai-chi in improvised city-corners, they launch ad-hoc night markets or under-bridge sales on temporarily occupied streets or city corners. And they do farms � they are squeezing organic material into the machine like a creeper crawling into an air-conditioning box. Why they do this? Why does the nature want to break the machine? Developers are the true urban editors. They are linked with the city authorities and necessary political powers and they make the urban editing.

The intent is to combine the energies garnered from art, creative industry and culture to create outstanding and multifunctional living spaces and to promote artistic presentations and cultural education. Same year the "MUSEUM of TOMORROW" project was also launched, and it is based on the idea of "A Better Tomorrow". In the past few years, internationally renowned architects have been invited to host symposiums and lectures to introduce thier ways of thinking on architecture and urban issues. "UrbanCore Arts Block" project started from the spring of 2010. It is an experimental project that intended to useing arts as a new element to bring in vitalities to an old city neighborhood. Free empty houses was provided by parent company JUT Land Development Group. The block is a complete area among at Zhonghua Rd. and Yanping South Rd in Taipei city, Taiwan. The spot used to be included in the old "city center" of Taipei, thus the name "UrbanCore." "Core" also means the core of fruit, referring the old city center to an eaten and corrupted fruit core. History has been forgotten, but we hope this plan can nurture the land with art and culture, bringing the core into life again. "UrbanCore Arts Block" is an almost two years plan. Before September of 2011, non-profit art and culture associations and creative groups will be invited to the site and exert their creation laboratory freely. The current participant teams are: UrbanCore Gallery, MOT/ARTS x CHI-mending, UrbanCore Caf� & Bookshelf, Taiwan Designer's Web, Urban Regeneration Studio, Association of the Visual Arts in Taiwan, Open-Contemporary Art Center, CASAGRANDE LABORARTORY, Taiwan Photography Museum, Luxury Logico (an artist group), Taipei Contemporary Art Center, Ruin Academy, M�bius Strip Theater, Riverbed theatre and Dark Eyes Theatre...etc. This laboratory of originality allows artists to ferment their ideas and establish an artistic interactive platform for national and international societies, and further elicits conversation with the public in the communities in order to practice art and culture locally. The power of "UrbanCore Arts Block" will break the wall and spread it into near by alleys. It is a great urban regeneration activity across the area, and we absolutely needs your participation!

The stealth structure has to cope with heavy typhoons hitting straight from the Ocean, with flooding waters and with earthquakes. A normal reaction would be to build a concrete bunker and keep the nature out of the architecture. Fort EGG is constructed though with a minimal amount of material. The primary structure is out of bamboo arches that are combined of 6 bamboos each tied together. The arches are then wrapped around with two layers of bamboo mending surfaces with a waterproofing layer in-between. Creepers are allowed to grow on top of the outer bamboo layer to cool off the building. 2010 To test the structure we made a model 1:3 on the site. The construction was started in summer 2010 and will take quite a while. Everything is hand-made with love. The project accepts volunteers for construction work.

THE CONSTRUCTION The previous version was circled, now modified to an egg shape. But still the main bamboo construction making a pentagon window on top. This window is good for the air flow through the whole house. Here are using 6 to 7 meters long bam boo sticks. For each arch is used only two pieces of bamboo connected on thicker part together. The sticks are fixed by iron wire and all these arches are fixed on every cross. It makes the construction very strong and stable! Pictures by Jan Luksik & Sibylle Papillon FOR FOUNDATION Bigger bamboo,sort of flag pole holder, with top enforced by iron wire. Every piece of foundations bamboos is hammered into the ground with a specific angle. FOR DRAINAGE I made a hole on end of every bamboo pipe. Next step was to make a BAMBOO MATRACE all over. Within space for door and window. For matrace are used bamboo strips made from bamboo sticks by special tool. AND WHAT IF IT RAINS? The easiest way how to make a shelter waterproof is to use the asphalt paper. The kind we used is glued on one side. Because the surface of the shelter wasn't straight, every one meter we made a wave for connection of the direction.Moreover, for better stability of asphalt paper, we used on top of every layer one strip of bamboo. Next layer of asphalt paper is over this place. 38 Anarchist Gardener 2010 Ruin Academy ( ) ( ) TOP 10 1.Stalker / Andrei Tarkovsky / 1979 / Soviet Union RU I N Films 2.Fata Morgana / Werner Herzog / 1969 / Germany 3.Apocalypse Now! / Francis Ford Coppola / 1979 / USA 4.Dersu Uzala / Akira Kurozawa / 1975 / Japan - Soviet Union 5.Man Without the Past / Aki Kaurism�ki / 2002 / Finland 6.Metropolis / Fritz Lang / 1927 / Germany 7.2001: A Space Odyssey / Stanley Kubric / 1968 / USA 2001 8.Seventh Seal / Ingmar Bergman / 1957 / Sweden 9.Little Otik / Jan Svankmajor / 2000 / Czech Republic � 10.Deliverance / John Boorman / 1972 / USA � R UI N TOP 10 Books 1.

Can Sad Music Cure The Blues?
September 18, 2014
"Beautiful but sad music" can help cure a case of the blues, according to psychologists at the universities of Kent and Limerick. The researchers wanted to know why we choose to listen to certain music when we are sad. They had participants recall a negative emotional event in their lives and what sad music they had listened to following the event. They found that the sad people's motives to choosing music they perceived as 'sad,' wasn't to enhance their mood. Instead, the music participants identified as 'beautiful' was what ultimately enhanced their mood.

Technical overviewADO.NET Data Services consists of a combination of patterns and libraries that enables data services for the Web to be created and consumed. The goal of ADO.NET Data Services is to facilitate the creation of flexible data services that can be integrated naturally with the Web. Therefore, ADO.NET Data Services uses Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) to point to pieces of data and then uses simple, well-known formats to represent that data. Examples of these formats include JSON and ATOM (XML-based feed format. This behavior leads to the data service being surfaced as a REST-style resource collection that can be addressed by using URIs. Additionally, agents can interact with the data service by using standard HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT or DELETE.
In order for the system to understand and to leverage semantics over the data that is surfacing, ADO.NET Data Services models the data that is exposed through the data service by using a model called Entity Data Model (EDM) and Entity-Relationship derivative. This model organizes the data into the form of instances of "entity types," of "entities," and of the associations between them.
For relational data, ADO.NET Data Services supports exposing an EDM model that is created by using the ADO.NET Entity Framework. To enable all other data sources to use additional database access technologies (such as LINQ to SQL), a mechanism is provided which enables any data source to be modeled as entities and as associations. This means that any data source can be described by using an EDM schema. This mechanism also enables any data source to be exposed as a data service.
This All-In-One Code Framework sample shows how to create and to call ADO.NET Data Services to perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on different data sources. These data sources include the ADO.NET Entity Framework, LINQ to SQL, and the reflection provider.

Due to their rarity and lack of prospective trials, the optimal treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) is still debated. Recommendations gathered by retrospective analyses of patient data should be based on the new classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms.
In a retrospective single-center study (1990 to 2012), 127 patients with PNENs were included. Tumor stage and type of resections were analyzed to evaluate successful treatment strategies.
Seventy-nine patients (62 %) were diagnosed with stage I or II, 48 patients (38 %) with stage III or IV disease; 49.6 % of all PNENs were nonfunctional. Surgical interventions consisted of 50 enucleations, 27 distal resections, and 2 partial duodenopancreatectomies in patients with stage I or II disease. Twenty-eight patients with stage III or IV disease received a distal resection and in 13 patients, a partial duodenopancreatectomy was carried out. Exploration with debulking was performed in seven patients in stages III and IV. Stage-dependent 10-year survival rates were 93.7 (stages I and II, n = 79) and 56.0 % (stages III and IV, n = 48).
PNENs have a good prognosis if they are well-differentiated and resected completely. Organ-preserving resection does not impair the prognosis in selected cases with stage I or II. In case of hepatic metastasis and advanced tumor stage, surgical reduction can reduce symptoms and improve the survival.

Doubt is being cast on the true role of brain neurons that are said to explain empathy, autism and even morality.
Mirror neurons fire both when we perform an action and when we see someone else doing it. The theory is that by simulating action even when watching an act, the neurons allow us to recognise and understand other people's actions and intentions.
However, Alfonso Caramazza at Harvard University and colleagues say their research suggests this theory is flawed.
Neurons that encounter repeated stimulus reduce their successive response, a process called adaptation. If mirror neurons existed in the activated part of the brain, reasoned Caramazza, adaptation should be triggered by both observation and performance.
Theory 'overturned'
To test the theory, his team asked 12 volunteers to watch videos of hand gestures and, when instructed, to mimic the action. However, fMRI scans of the participants' brains showed that the neurons only adapted when gestures were observed then enacted, but not the other way around.
Caramazza says the finding overturns the core theory of mirror neurons that activation is a precursor to recognition and understanding of an action. If after executing an act, "you need to activate the same neurons to recognise the act, then those neurons should have adapted," he says.
Caramazza's results support similar findings by Ilan Dinstein at New York University and his team in 2007.
However, mirror neuron researcher Marco Iacoboni, at the University of California, Los Angeles, thinks the study's basic assumption is flawed. "There is no evidence that mirror neurons adapt," he says.

One of the seven Maoists who escaped after a police van was ambushed by their comrades in Giridih on Friday evening, surrendered to the police on Saturday after he was tracked down. Another Maoist, who was among the prisoners, could not flee as he was injured. He is being treated at a private hospital in Giridih.
"Bipin Mandal suffered bullet injuries and was not able to escape. Our teams traced Baijnath Tiwari and he has surrendered," said Jharkhand Director General of Police G.S. Rath.
Seven villagers from the area were reported to have been detained by the police on suspicion that they helped the Maoists in carrying out the ambush. "Some people have been detained, but I cannot confirm the number," Mr. Rath said.
A team of senior police officials, including Inspector General (IG) Operations S.N. Pradhan, Bokaro IG Murarilal Meena, DIG Suman Gupta and CRPF spokesperson IG M.V. Rao, visited the ambush site on Saturday morning.

Brewers starting pitcher Marco Estrada has been placed on the 15-day disabled list after straining his right quad running the bases on Wednesday night against the Giants, the team announced in a statement on Thursday afternoon. Right-handed reliever Mike McClendon will be called up from Triple-A Nashville to replace him. According to reports citing general manager Doug Melvin, Estrada will miss three to four starts with the ailment. Estrada joins several other Brewers on the disabled list, as the team has already lost starting pitcher Chris Narveson, shortstop Alex Gonzalez, and first baseman Mat Gamel for the entire season.

The camera captures a group of women walking close together on a dark and rainy evening. According to the National Crime Records Bureau data, crimes against women are increasing by the day. A total of 2,03,804, 2,13,585 and 2,28,650 cases of crime against women were reported during 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively, clearly showing a surge in such cases.
Patriarchal mindsets, objectification of women and societal tolerance of violence against women are some of the possible reasons for such crimes.

Seattle Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson got his chance to start against the Kansas City Chiefs, and shall we say, he did not waste his opportunity.
Wilson shredded the Chiefs' defense for 185 yard and 2 TDs on their way to a 44-14 victory. The surprising Seahawks are undefeated in the preseason, with wins against the Titans, Broncos and now the Chiefs.
He completed 13 of 19 passes for 185 yards, averaging 9.7 yards per pass, and made quite a case for himself to emerge as the starter. Per head coach Pete Caroll ont eh team's website:
"He's done everything we've asked him. When John (Schneider, the GM) was excited about drafting him and we got the momentum going to make that pick, this is guy we hoped that he would be."
And Wilson sounds as focused as he can be:
"I just try to relax as much as I can – relax my mind, just play football. I prepare myself in every way possible. I get there early. I leave late. I try to always mentally prepare myself and visualize being successful."
QB Tarvaris Jackson also saw the field, but Matt Flynn did not due to a sore elbow. With trade reports still circulating about Jackson and with Flynn's injury, we'll most likely see Wilson starting in their final preseason game, and maybe beyond.

Todd Haley said something Sunday afternoon that he has said often, but after a three-hour disappointment against the winless Miami Dolphins, it perhaps had more meaning. "There isn't one area where we can say, 'We've arrived.'"

By 12:10 GMT, December Brent crude had hit a low of $107.69/bbl, a loss of $1.15/bbl from Thursday's close of $108.84/bbl, before recovering to around $107.90/bbl.
At the same time, December NYMEX light sweet crude futures were trading around $95.75/bbl, having hit a low of $95.70/bbl, a loss of 68 cents/bbl from the previous close of $96.38/bbl.

The notebook has an ATI Radeon Mobility X700 256mb, and was fully functional in Windows XP SP2 but not in Vista. I have installed the MS drivers and modded ATI drivers for this card, which work fine but I don't get Aero on the laptop display (WUXGA 17inch LCD X-black screen) However, I do get Aero when I plug an external monitor in. Vista does not seem to recognise the laptop monitor, which could be the problem. However, in XP the monitor was recognised as a Generic Pnp Monitor - no problem of course. I have installed XP drivers for Vista, and the monitor is recognised - but no aero. When I update the drivers, the monitor disappears from Device Manager. Plus, I get no laptop display when it is plugged into an external monitor. Any help would be appreciated. Sony do not have up-to-date drivers on their website. Thanks

Watch all of this.
And then do it in class. It can be extremely useful. The key is to make pronunciation a physical activity, so that when the student makes a mistake, you can point to the sound they made on the chart, and they can see the sound they're aiming for, and know exactly what to do to their mouth to alter it (since it is so logically laid out). If you have a chart in your class at all times, you can refer to it at any point to fix a pronunciation error on the spot, and work pronunciation practice into other activities. My school has one in the corner of every white board, and I'd now hate to teach without it.
Well worth the hour!
I think it's best to introduce it gradually. But I do find it very useful, especially as English spelling is so ridiculous at times. Adrian Underhill's "Sound Foundations" is a brilliant book that helps to really get into phonetics and teaching pronunciation in general (it's only useful for native speakers though).
You must be joking, in general people are not that stupid when it comes to money.
What pronunciation should be considered 'perfect' is actually beside the point with so many varieties even within one country let alone certain personal characteristics, that is speaking about BrE solely.
Undeniably, the course is helpful for native teachers. What I am curious to know is why only for native teachers.
IMO, regardless of anything, while speaking everyone is doing something with his mouth, lips, teeth or whatever he has to pronounce something meaningful. Why not use these activities to polish one's sounds?
On the other hand, if these activities can help learners start speaking English more naturally, why do you think non-native teachers cannot benefit from them as well?
Incidentally, A. Underhill is addressing a group of non-native teachers at the seminar and actually shows how a Spanish-speaking teacher gets her /ae/ right at last. Or, are we talking about different books?
It would be interesting to hear what any non-native speakers who have tried Sound Foundations think about it.
But Underhill makes it very clear at the outset that he's not teaching 'the phonemes of English' but investigating the mechanisms of sound production as a number of continuums (e.g. [i:] to [u:]) stopping off along the way at points that reflected English phonemes. As a teacher, I've always used the symbols just as a way of committing sounds to paper. But this video has made me think more about the mechanisms in ways that should make me a better teacher (if I ever get another job;-)).

I know a few of you have been married out there, who did you choose as a wedding photographer?

I know a few of you have been married out there, who did you choose as a wedding photographer?
we're torn between randy chapman or disney's own photographer
What I would recommend is fine a capable photographer from your hometown area. Someone that understands what you want in your special day. Someone you feel you can trust and someone that seems to know what you want. Look at their past work and portfolio.
Instead of paying for their services, pay for their stay at your resort. Treat them like part of your family and you might end up with not only a memorable day but lifetime memories in exceptional wedding photos.
Randy all the way! We could have had Disney's own photography which was included in the package price but we decided to have Randy instead. He is fantastic, makes you relaxed and has a great photographic eye. He knows Disney like the back of his hand too :) We loved his work so much that after our wedding in 2004 we booked him for a photo shoot around Port Orleans for our 5th anniversary.
You certainly wouldn't be disappointed :)
Lisa I dont know if this is asking a but much blush but do you have any of your wedding and 5th anniversay shots on line? Id love love love to see a few
Of course not, ive got some on Facebook, the link is
Log in | Facebook
Not sure if that will work, if not i'll post some here tomorrow :)
They are beautiful Lisa, he certainly does have an eye for a photo - i was also looking at the website earlier on and they are just gorgeous.
Slightly off topic, but you know the mickey and minnie topper that you had, if you still have it have any of the pearls fallen off of minnies dress? Everytime i even touch the one i have another little pearly bead falls off :(
I remember the day well :) we were very lucky to be there and it was indeed a truly beautiful day cant believe it was 6 years though!

Buy a new/used Mac Pro desktop right now or wait?
Hey guys, Just wondering if you can give me some quick advice.
I currently own a Macbook Pro 2.4ghz Intel i5 (use it with an external monitor, apple keyboard, and wireless logitech mouse),
mainly for music/video production but now it's time for an upgrade since my work is expanding for upcoming summer projects.
If I do buy a brand new Mac Pro right now, I plan on keeping it for 3-5 years then upgrade.
I'm trying to keep a $3000 budget, but sometimes I can go overboard.
Here are my options ..
OPTION 1 - Wait until the next Mac Pro is released.
Upgrade the ram/hd on my Macbook pro for now,
$105 for adding 8gb ram and $120 for a 1TB Hard Drive.
(Currently have 320gb hd and a Western Digital 2GB MyStudio external).
So my cost of upgrade will $225.
I have lot of work to do this summer,
so if i wait for new Mac Pro release,
it better be worth it. Could be months from now!
OPTION 2 - Buy a new Mac Pro right now
Brand New Mac Pro desktop (One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor,
3GB (three 1GB) memory, 1TB hard drive, 18x double-layer SuperDrive, ATI Radeon HD 5770 120 with 1GB GDDR5)
It retails for $2599 + Tax, but with a special corporate discount,
I'm getting it for $2100 including tax.
I plan on spending another $120 for a 2TB Caviar Green Hard Drive and $825 32gb OWC Memory Upgrade Kit.
So my total for this beast I'll be spending $3045.
OPTION 3 - Buy a used one, then upgrade after a 2 years.
Used Apple Mac Pro (2.66GHz Intel Quad Core Xeon, 1GB DDR2 ECC Ram,
250GB SATA Hard Drive, 16x SuperDrive with double-layer support, GeForce 7300GT 256MB Ram).
I can get this desktop for $800, and then I plan on spending another $120 for a 2TB Caviar Green Hard Drive
and $825 32gb OWC Memory Upgrade Kit. So my total for this will be $1845.
Let me know your thoughts, suggestions and any useful advice.

get this ssd for 300
get the western digital 2tb for 95 at this site
use BUNNY15 for 15 dollars off
get the ram at this site for 550
total cost is 3045 but you get an intel series 320 160gb ssd for free.
Then one more thing do my hex mod in a year see link
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...551&highlight= you will have a very good setup for years maybe 3 to 5.

ok, so I'm in a very similar situation, I have a couple of big projects coming up this year, and I am going to need a machine to edit with.
Im using logic and several plug-ins. Occasionally deals with RAW video footage, but not to edt, just to view.
So here's my question... (like i said its pretty similar)
Realistically I cant wait until Q1 2012 for the new sandy bridge processors, plus my budget only really stretches to the base model mac pro.
(Now before everyone jumps down my throat, I am aware that it works out more cost effective to go for the duel processor models, and really i should be looking at the hex. but thats where my budget sits)
Now I'll be dropping an SSD in as the boot drive, as that seems essential at the moment. but obviously the base model only has 4 dimm slots, and only 3GB of RAM.
So I've been looking at going second hand, 2008/9 8core, 16GB RAM similar prices to new base model.
I dont need anyone to list the hardware differences, because I know them, but what i could do with is, is someone with real world experience or using Logic with mac pros, and knowing the difference between 667MHz DDR2 and 1066MHz DDR3.
That said, I understand the data transfer rates between the two, and the CAS timings, and fact that one is 2 and the other 3 channel.
What I really need to know, is how this will effect my plugins, and also the performance of logic.
I look forward to your replies.

This Western Digital 2TB is a must and $95 is a good deal. I'm reading on other posts that the Hynix ram is not as good compared to the OWC ram (but you do save $$$).
|Apr 24, 2011, 12:33 PM
I never had any problem with Hynix RAM, whereas the stories where people had failing OWC sticks after only a view months don't stop.
|Apr 24, 2011, 01:03 PM
I use the ssd in my mac pro. It speeds things up a bit. you could just buy the ram and the hdd and spend 2745.
Hynix is good ram. if you study the site you will read far more ram failures of owc then hynix. Owc rebrands ram Hynix is an oem ram maker. I have purchased ram from owc that has hynix chips in it.
I like owc for service and they have nice ssds along with a few nice cases for external hdds. they aslo have great install videos for all kinds of apple gear.

There's a myriad of posts in this forum where people had to return their OWC RAM. Especially for people that don't live in the US that's a pain, which is why I can't understand why people out of the UK still buy that stuff. Local sellers are far more convenient (Crucial, Hynix, Samsung etc.).
|Apr 24, 2011, 02:13 PM
Hynix Ram was the original RAM in my 2009 iMac and 2009 MB. Very reliable.
Regarding OWC RAM there was a very long thread about problems with this last December. It seems like they had a bad batch. I know this is true because I was one of the people with bad OWC RAM. I called their support and they did help be verify it - you can run on just one stick to test, then remove and run off the other stick to test... Anyway, mine was bad and because OWC has advanced replacement I was able to have the ship my new RAM before the defective RAM was returned - they paid for shipping and did take my CC number in case the old RAM didn't make it back. The replacement was fine, using it now, and I sold the original RAM from my 2010 15" MBP which was Samsung brand. Again, the problem with OWC was a bad batch which cleared itself out in about a month. Haven't read any complaint in months

My thoughts...
Option 1:
I guess you'd have to ask yourself how much more productive you could be with a more powerful (and more flexible) desktop machine versus your current laptop. And I wouldn't expect to see a Mac Pro refresh before Q1 2012 anyway. The Sandy Bridge Xeons aren't expected to ship until at least Q4 2011.
Option 2:
This is probably the option you'll want to go with if you really think you can use a more powerful machine NOW. And by this, I mean that it will make you more productive, thus more profitable.
Option 3:
Avoid. This is a 2006 (1st-gen) Mac Pro: older EFI-32 platform (limited graphics card choices) and questionable future support from Apple. Also, these machines use DDR2 ECC FB-DIMMs, which cost more than the DDR3 ECC DIMMs that the 2009-10 machines use. OWC's price on a 32GB kit for 2006 machine is actually $1,149. In summary, if you're still considering a used machine, you'll be much better off with a 2009 model at this point.
I would also evaluate whether or not you actually need 32GB of RAM right now. Any way you look at it, it costs a lot of bones to max out your RAM. What software would you be running? Depending on your situation, that money could be distributed to other upgrades that may make a larger impact on performance, like an SSD or faster GPU.

You may loose 100 points in Geekbench. Negligible consequence really. Memory is so fast these days. I don't see much difference between 1066MHz and 1333MHz. Some will say you must have 3x dimms, they can't tell the real world difference either.

I am planning on switching my investment analysis programs from PC (on high performance desk top w/ Windows 7 Ultimate) to the 12-core MAC PRO. I was planning to wait on the next update of the hardware, believing it would be soon, based on comments in the Buyer Guide section of MacRumors. However comments in this forum clearly show that no upgrade is expected before q4/2011 or q1/2012.
what is the current view about how much of a performance difference there will be between the current MAC PRO and the next one? My applications are actively updating multiple screens, heavily computational, and simultaneously processing streaming financial data coming in from Bloomberg. If there is a major boost expected, then I would continue to use my PC until the next MAC PRO; otherwise I would buy now. I definitely want to get away from Windows.
Thank you in advance for your help.
|Apr 28, 2011, 04:07 PM
These 12 core beasts are still going to be beasts once the Sandy Bridge xeons come out... So if I was to buy one now (meaning you NEED it for work/hobby/whatever), I would clearly stick to the 12 core one...

Nukara Prime: Self-destructive tendencies
Has anyone ever been in a PUG where they've succeeded in this? Every team I've been in, we've all been busy killing the incoming Tholians with weapons plus all the little tricks available on the consoles, and on many occasions we haven't even been swarmed (i.e. as soon as the spiders appear, we get rid of them before they get to the platform), but I haven't been in a PUG that's won it yet. I'm sick of seeing those giant, looming spider-legs at the end cutscene.
This is getting me neurotic and twitchy. Is there a special knack to it, if so what?
1. stay in your positions
2. don't run around.
3. use the consoles
4. spam abilities
5. revive fallen players, asap.
6. have the 5th float
Yeah I have won it on pugs a few times, probably 50/50 chance. I won it in a 4-man pug once
The principle strategy is to setup a zone defense, with a combination of weapons and consoles for maximum effect. The #1 reason for losing is because people run around shooting each others spawn and then a flank gets overrun.
You also need to learn the timing of the different consoles. The explosives are instant and can wipe out large groups all at once but take a long time to prep, so when a kid runs around hitting all the consoles they just lost the map for you. The thermal/refrigeration console is very effective overall and requires the least support. The phaser console works fast but doesnt kill very quickly, luckily it covers a small zone so it doesnt need to be that great. The holodeck console doesnt work for anything, and so that flank is the hardest to defend. The warp plasma console only covers the doorway area and doesnt cover the corner area. Because of all that, the best zone coverage is put two players on the holodeck corner so that there is enough firepower to cover both of those flanks (because the consoles cant), and 1 player on the other corners. Cover your zone.
Use good armor, not the cheapest suit you could find
The CRM2000 from the Breen missions is pretty gun, so are the Omega rep guns, no shotguns please
2 on the holodeck corner, 1 on each of the other corners
STAY AT YOUR STATION and cover your zone
Time the consoles
i've been in PUGs that knew how to do it, and got it done easily and smoothly
i've been in alot more PUGs that didnt, and we all got slaughtered or the core was destroyed
the problem is ppl ont know how to run it, and its a damn shame
I've had very good results using the Jem'Hadar rifle for this.
Oh and, ENG need to pre the mission by placing their cover shields to protect the core.
And look behind you, those Radiation crystals some of the Tholians can spawn are more dangerous than their beam attacks.
All the advice here is good - I would also add that healing stims etc are all useful here - if you do have a roamer probably best its a Sci if poss with a healing kit.
Key for me on successful runs was good eng placement of shields - if all goes correct the eng will have to replace the shield once during the fight (and really should do it as well)
Similar to the above i'd say pug wise it was 60/40 - 50/50 success and all my toons pugged it (12) during 3 hr bonus marks time
Edit: You don't need Engs to be successful to run this - good engs just make it go smoothly.
Did the Nukara hards get beefed up after LoR? I did them solely with pugs and never failed. I haven't gone to Nukara since LoR, though. And granted, LoR probably brought in a lot of new blood that didn't know the routine for Nukara hards.
Farmers moved on to Elite Crystal.
Thanks for the advices, I've won on 2 occasions now in PUGs by giving the advice at the start and the team sticking to it.
It's pretty obvious really, there are too many Tholians to kill with just guns, you HAVE to use the combined AoEs from the consoles, and you have to be pretty good with the timing of setting them off. Gunfire and the "float" takes care of any stragglers and accidental console mis-timings. Easy really.
Thanks again!
Completed it many times in PUGs. I always try to say something like "consoles are your friends", or "grab a console everyone" at the beginning.
