Chiddy Bang - HeartBeat
Artist: Chiddy Bang
Producer: No Two Guyz
Album: Baggage Claim
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 9 votes )
Does a new, high-energy tune get you pumped up? Well you might want control your HeartBeat, because this powerful cut from Chiddy Bang is sure to get your ticker racing. While Xaphoon Jones, Chiddy's former right-hand man, doesn't man the boards on this record (that honor goes to No Two Guyz), the beat still has that same special pop. As the atmospheric, cascading production—driven by a screeching sample—erupts, Chiddy kicks the record up a notch with his agile, hard-hitting flow. The Philly native shows that his talent extends beyond his brisk flow, bringing the record home with an intoxicating hook. Heartbeat is the latest single off Chiddy's upcoming mixtape, Baggage Claim, due out this month.

|Giants ready for tough task of defending World Series title
|Written by Anthony Rome

Giants gear up to defend title
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Andres Torres checked out the banner at the main entrance to Scottsdale Stadium blaring ``2012 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS'' and knew he was back in the right place.
View 2013 World Series Futures
The outgoing outfielder bounced through the clubhouse Tuesday morning, sporting a beanie for the cool desert weather, after batting practice and some running - saying hello to all the familiar faces he missed spending one season away with the New York Mets following three in San Francisco.
Now, Torres will play alongside the guy the Giants traded him for last offseason: center fielder Angel Pagan.
San Francisco won another World Series last year while Torres was away, though he attended some playoff games at AT&T Park to cheer his former and now current club.
There's still a championship feeling everywhere in the ballpark.

Flight Simulators
The software simulation configuration discussed in this article was a Bombardier/Canadair Regional Jet RJ-200 aircraft (Figure 9), a successful 50-seat twin jet regional aircraft manufactured and built by Bombardier Aerospace in Montréal and popular with airlines such as Comair, Skywest and Air Canada, just to name a few. The first task at hand for CAE engineers was to port the entire CAELIB and SIMEX software environment to Linux. This proved to be a relatively uncomplicated task for our operating system support group (OSU), since most of our code is in ANSI C. All modules were compiled with relatively minor modifications. Once this was done, the task of transferring and porting the entire software simulation code from SIMEX to Linux proved to be more challenging. Now, I am referring to years of software development on AIX with at least 500 software modules, each ranging from 1,000 to over 100,000 lines of code—the porting of which would be no trivial matter. The third task was to port the required CAE-specific compilers from our own OpenGL-based graphics compiler and editor to our basic support utilities. CAE has developed its own graphical environment called TIGERS (an OpenGL-based system).
At the time TIGERS was developed at CAE, sophisticated graphic systems for simulation use were not yet commonplace. Figures 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 show the level of graphical detail required for CATS simulation. The main difference between a CATS and a full-flight simulator is simple: CATS requires that all aircraft panels be a graphical representation, as opposed to the hardware-driven interface on a full-flight simulator. Simply put, a graphical representation of a switch is used instead of a real switch in a cockpit environment. In all respects, the amount of simulation software required is much more complex on a CATS as opposed to a real full-flight simulator. All aircraft systems are simulated in the CATS environment, instead of only the simulated black boxes of the full-flight simulator. In flight simulators, we simulate the same black boxes as used on the aircraft. In trying to address the needs of a Bombardier's training department as they sought a portable version of their existing AIX CATS on the PC platform, CAE engineering decided Linux would be the ideal and practical choice for this project.
Figure 8. Seven-Screen CATS System Trainer
We made the decision to use the standard GNU ANSI C compiler and F77 translator for the task. Our FORTRAN77 legacy software modules proved to be the greatest challenge. AIX FORTRAN77 compilers are very forgiving in equating logical to integer data types. For example, if you equate an integer label to a logical label, the AIX FORTRAN compiler would assume you require the value in the logical label to be stored into the integer label. This style of programming is not allowed under F77 Linux. You must declare and equate labels of the same data type, or the compilation will fail. Now, this would be a simple task if the labels were defined in the local module. The problem arises when the software module in question uses a logical label declared in what we call our CDB (common data block) as an integer label. This common data block is used to declare all global labels used by every simulation module to pass variables among each other. If the declaration is wrong in the CDB, a correction must be made in all modules. Then each module must be reprocessed with the new CDB and recompiled.
Figure 9. Bombardier/Canadair Regional Jet RJ-200
The next problem lies with the memory storage format of logical labels between AIX and Linux. For example, a data type of Logical*4 (four bytes) in F77 Linux is stored from left to right (MSB, most significant bit, to LSB, least significant bit) while AIX stores the logical in reverse order (LSB to MSB). This can create a major problem when using the logical in a bit manipulation operation. If you use each bit for a different function in your code and apply a bit manipulation operation (e.g., FECDE .XOR. Logical Label), then the problems are compounded. You must reverse all masks used in the bit manipulation operation—a considerable amount of work.
Figure 10. CATS Simulation Detail
Another area of concern is the data files used to store navigation and engine data interpolation information. The byte order in these data files must also be reversed to read data correctly into their assigned CDB labels. Our ANSI C code does not have this problem. Most of the C code compiled with relatively little change.
Figure 11. CATS Simulation Detail
Aural warning system conversation required a minor amount of work. Under AIX, all audio warnings were designed to work with a DSP card with one large digital audio file. We were required to convert the large digital aural warnings data files into separate PCM wave files. A newly coded audio software module was then needed to cross-index the requested aural warnings to their corresponding wave file and pipe them to a standard SoundBlaster audio card. Throw in all the graphics files and IOS pages (Instructor Operator System Pages, Figure 15), and we have an enormous porting task.

When it comes to wireless networking, your Super Hub is one souped-up piece of kit. But wireless technology isn't perfect, so there might be the odd place in your home where it just can't reach or give you the speeds you crave. First of all, try these handy hints for getting the best wireless signal. You might want to also consider adding one of these clever gadgets below to your network.
Powerline kits extend your broadband network using the electrical wiring in your home. Some kits connect a wired device straight to your network using an Ethernet cable. Great for a games console or TiVo® box. Others also support wireless networking. This allows you to extend the WiFi coverage in your home without relying on your existing WiFi signal.
WiFi repeaters take your existing WiFi signal and repeats it to extend the reach of the wireless coverage in your home. Getting you back online in hard-to-reach zones such as an upstairs room or basement.
Ideal if your computer doesn't support WiFi. Just plug an adapter into your USB port and you'll be able to connect your device wirelessly. Giving you the freedom to roam from room-to-room in your home.

Computers without built-in WiFi
Repeaters and powerlines come in different speeds, 300Mps or 500Mps for example. But remember the speeds you achieve with your repeater or powerline will only ever be as fast as your broadband speed. The speeds you get in the real world are often lower than the maximum your product states. We've tested a lot of these devices and found that 300Mb usually give speeds up to 40Mbps.
For many people, 300Mb adapters will let you do all the things you like to do online. But for those with super speedy broadband (like our up to 152Mb broadband), you might want to think about getting a faster 500Mb Powerline Adapter to extend the reach of your network, helping you get the fastest possible speeds. A 500Mbp powerline kit gives a speed of between 20 and 200Mbps.

Italy technical chief Gigi Riva says fans can be excited about a new team including Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli.
With Sampdoria striker Cassano and Inter Milan youngster Balotelli both set to feature tonight against Ivory Coast, Riva says coach Cesare Prandelli is making major changes to the Azzurri's style of play.
"I am truly curious to see them at work. Cassano and Balotelli are talents sent down from Heaven, they are so natural with the ball at their feet.
"I already worked with Cassano in two European Championships. In Portugal he was among the best, while he never caused problems in Austria and Switzerland," insisted the Azzurri legend.
"OK, he is a little exuberant, but he really wants to do well and prove himself. He has changed, both in his behaviour and his attitude during training."
Many have given the credit for Cassano's maturity to new bride Carolina, a professional water polo player.
"When I saw the wedding ring on his finger, I told Antonio: 'Now you've got someone keeping an eye on you.' Having a wife who is an athlete means he can follow her good advice."

In all, I'd have to say I
do it again. I'd find a cat in good shape...ready to sail. If I spent a grand to buy it, I wouldn't be out any money. AND I'd have been sailing for those 100 hours I was working. I'm not a big fan of boat work. I much prefer the sailing.
It's the classic boat trap though. The $200 purchase price is much easier to justify than the $1,000. But either way, you're going to spend it.
All that said, we've got a very cool, very rare catamaran that is truly ours. We can't wait to take her out.
Thanks Smack,
Those are good lessons and underscore advice given here by some sages when newbies ask for boat buying recommendations.
Good Luck with your GR world record chase.
ps: The rain has been nice.
pps: CC awaits.

On September 11, the California city of Richmond reportedly voted to proceed with a plan to employ its eminent domain authority to seize certain mortgages. As previously described, the city recently demanded that owners and servicers of 626 home mortgages sell the loans to the city or face seizure. The city proposed to then write down the principal of the purchased mortgages and sell the loans to new investors. On September 12, a U.S. District Court hearing challenges to the city's action declined to enjoin the city's plan at this time, finding that the issue is not yet ripe for determination. The court did not decide on the city's pending motion to dismiss, but stated it will rule by September 16 on whether dismissal is appropriate or whether that motion also should be put on hold.

Here's everything you need to know to get started with a new iPhone.
The screen
The touchscreen is your mouse, keyboard, dialing pad, and note pad. It's going to get fingerprinty and streaky, although it wipes clean with a quick rub on your sleeve. You can also use it as a mirror when the iPhone is off.
But what about scratches? Fortunately, Apple learned its lesson on this one. The iPhone screen is made of optical-quality, chemically treated glass — not polycarbonate plastic like the iPod's screen. It's actually very difficult to scratch glass; try it on a window pane some day.
If you're nervous about protecting your iPhone, you can always get a carrying case for it. But in general, the iPhone is far more scratch-resistant than the iPod. Even many Apple employees carry the iPhone in their pockets without carrying cases.
Screen icons
Here's a round-up of the icons that you may see in the status bar at the top of the iPhone screen, from left to right.
Phone signal As on any mobile, the number of bars indicates the strength of your mobile signal, and thus the quality of your call audio and likelihood of losing the connection. If there are zero bars, the dreaded words "No service" appear here.
EDGE Network When this logo appears, your iPhone can get onto the Internet via O2's very handy, but very slow, EDGE data network. In general, if you have a mobile signal, you likely have an EDGE signal.
Airplane Mode If you see the airplane instead of signal and Wi-Fi bars, the iPhone is in Airplane mode.
Wi-Fi Signal When you're connected to a wireless Wi-Fi internet hotspot, this indicator appears. The more "soundwaves," the stronger the signal.
iPhone locked This means that the screen and most buttons don't work, to avoid accidental presses, whenever it goes to sleep.
The clock When the iPhone is unlocked, a digital clock replaces the Lock symbol.
Play indicator The iPhone's playing music. Before you respond, "well, duh!" keep in mind that you may not be able to hear the music playing. For example, maybe the earbuds are plugged into the iPhone but aren't in your ears. So this icon is actually a handy reminder that you're running your battery down unnecessarily.
Alarm You've got an alarm set. This reminder, too, can be valuable, especially when you intend to sleep late and don't want an alarm to go off.
Bluetooth connection The iPhone is connected wirelessly to a Bluetooth earpiece or hands-free car system. (If this symbol is gray, it means that Bluetooth is turned on — and draining your battery — but it's not connected to any other gear.)
TTY symbol You've turned on Teletype mode, meaning that the iPhone can communicate with a Teletype machine. (That's a special machine that lets deaf people make phone calls by typing and reading text. It hooks up to the iPhone with a special cable that Apple sells from its website.)
Battery meter When the iPhone is plugged into its cradle (which is itself plugged into a wall outlet or computer), the lightning bolt appears, indicating that the phone is charging. Otherwise, the battery logo "empties out" from right to left to indicate how much charge remains.
Tip: Camouflaged behind the black glass above the earpiece, where you can't see them except with a bright flashlight, are two sensors. First, there's an ambient-light sensor that brightens the display when you're in sunlight and dims it in darker places. You can also adjust the brightness manually. Second, there's a proximity sensor. When something (like your head) is close to the sensor when you're using the phone functions, it shuts off the screen illumination and touch sensitivity. Try it out with your hand. (It works only in the Phone application.) You save power and avoid tapping buttons with your cheekbone.

Singapore (i/ˈsɪŋəpɔər/ SI-ngə-pohr), officially the Republic of Singapore, is a Southeast Asian city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. Singapore is highly urbanised but almost half of the country is covered by greenery. More land is being created for development through land reclamation.

Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Fusion than the Ford Focus. The Ford Fusion will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Ford Focus.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Ford Fusion will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Ford Focus, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Ford Fusion and the Ford Focus have similar Destination Charges.
The Ford Fusion is a little wider than the Ford Focus, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Ford Fusion, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Ford Focus.
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Ford Fusion does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Ford Focus.
The Ford Fusion has a larger turning radius than the Ford Focus, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Fusion has a much more powerful engine than the Ford Focus. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Ford Fusion and the Ford Focus. The Ford Fusion has a roomier cargo area for holding your bags or other items than the Ford Focus.
The Ford Fusion comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Ford Focus.

Set my Panasonic LX3 on black and white last night, and came up with these. (Well, after some post-processing I came up with these.) The camera has a lovely, fast, wide-angle lens that should be great for night shooting, but the sensor is really noisy. You don't see it as much in these small images, but at full size it looks like I was shooting with old Tri-X film or something.
Bon appetit. If you want more, there are more on my Flickr page. Search for Disneyland in the top corner and you'll get all these and more.
Thanks for looking!

Zenit St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow maintained their 100 per cent starts to the Russian Premier League season as both claimed wins on Wednesday night.
The defending champions claimed a 1-0 win over Terek Grozny thanks to Zoran Tosic's fourth-minute strike while Zenit won 2-1 at Ural.
Danny put the visitors ahead in the fifth minute but Gerson Acevedo grabbed an equaliser nine minutes before the break only for Jose Salomon Rondon to seal the win 16 minutes from time.
In the day's other games, Dinamo Moscow returned to winning ways as goals from Christopher Samba and Kevin Kuranyi handed them a 2-0 win over FC Ufa while Arsenal Tula and Rubin Kazan shared a goalless draw.

Matthew Vines sits down with Sojourners to discuss his first book, God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships.
Matthew Vines took a leave of absence from his Harvard studies to explore what the Bible says about homosexuality. As a conservative evangelical Christian with a high view of scripture, Vines struggled to reconcile his identity as a gay man with the apparent teaching of the Bible. In his book God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships, Vines explains what he has learned about scripture and tells the story of his own pilgrimage of faith, fidelity, and family.
Read "My Dad's Worst Day [6]" (Sojourners, June 2014), an excerpt from Vine's groundbreaking book. And be sure to watch this original SojoStory video, as Vines discusses his journey as a gay evangelical Christian who has immersed himself in seeking new and deeper understandings of what the Word has to say to us today on these profoundly important issues.

RadeonHD Driver To Use AtomBIOS
We've talked all too often about AtomBIOS and there being two different open-source drivers that support the same ATI Radeon hardware with the key architectural difference between the two just being the use of this video BIOS abstraction layer. From the beginning, AMD was planning to have their Novell partners use AtomBIOS when writing this new (at the time, R500/600) driver, but the developers ultimately declined. These developers have expressed their opinions on AtomBIOS, which range from it being an unbearable mess to this design being nothing more than writing open-source code to power someone else's closed-source work. However, under pressure by AMD, the developers are now preparing to use AtomBIOS to a much greater extent within the xf86-video-radeonhd driver. In this article we'll tell you more about what's gone on and where you can checkout this AtomBIOS-bearing RadeonHD driver.

Radeon HD 4870 Open-Source Support
Now that we have delivered OpenGL benchmarks of the ATI Radeon HD 4850 on Linux, we are turning our focus to the flagship Radeon 4870. For this testing we have dual Radeon HD 4870 graphics cards from Sapphire Technology. We'll be publishing these initial results in the coming days, but for now, we are just letting everyone know that this RV770 GPU also is working with xf86-video-ati after writing a trivial patch for this display driver. Our patch is enclosed.

Radeon HD 4850 Works With Open Driver
In our article this morning entitled AMD Makes An Evolutionary Leap In Linux Support, we briefly touched on the fact that AMD would be continuing in their open-source support for the Radeon HD 4000 generation of GPUs. AMD will release register information for the RV770 and the code to TCore and KGrids will help the community developers when it comes to 2D and 3D acceleration. Though, with not much work at all, this afternoon we have the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB running with the open-source xf86-video-ati driver! The Radeon HD 4850 will not currently work with the xf86-video-radeonhd driver as it doesn't rely upon the AtomBIOS in these areas, but in this article we have enclosed our patch and other information for using this open-source driver on AMD's latest hardware.

AMD Makes An Evolutionary Leap In Linux Support
Less than a year ago we shared with you the revolutionary steps AMD was taking to deliver significant improvements to their once infamous proprietary Linux display driver and at the same time the work they were doing to foster the growth of an open-source driver for their latest graphics card families. These steps have certainly paid off for both AMD and the Linux community at large. AMD's proprietary driver is now on par with NVIDIA's Linux driver and there are two open-source ATI drivers picking up new features and improvements on an almost daily basis. AMD also continues to publish new programming guides and register information on a routine basis for their latest and greatest hardware. This has been truly phenomenal to see, but AMD has now evolved their Linux support by taking it a large step further. AMD is in the process of pushing new high-end features into their Linux driver -- such as Multi-GPU CrossFire support -- and with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 they have even begun showing off Tux, the Linux mascot, on their product packaging and providing Linux drivers on their product CDs!

As always, we have the run-down for you on this month's changes.

Following our article looking at the state of X.Org (along with announcing the release of X Server 1.4.1), we proceeded to share the contributors behind the X Server -- both the individual developers and companies involved with fostering the growth of this important free software package since 1999. What we hadn't looked at in that analysis was the people and companies behind the work on Mesa 3D, or the OpenGL component used by X. In this article, however, we have these statistics to share.

AMD Talks About Stream SDK On Linux
Late last month AMD had announced the release of the Stream SDK for Linux. This Stream SDK brings support for the CAL and Brook+ libraries on Linux. The version released was Stream SDK 1.1 Beta, which arrived at the same time as the SDK for Windows XP. With this new Linux support, we ran a small Q&A session with Michael Chu, who serves as the product manager for AMD Stream software. In this article are AMD's answers to some of the questions asked by members of the Phoronix Forums.

NVIDIA 173.14.05 Display Driver
NVIDIA's last Linux display driver release was just shy of two months ago when they had unveiled the 173.08 Beta driver with compatibility for the GeForce 9800 series and other new GeForce 9 parts. Prior to the 173.08 release was version 171.06, which was another beta release, and the last official release being NVIDIA 169.12 from February. NVIDIA this morning has released the 173.14.05 driver, which marks the return to their old naming convention, but it doesn't bring many changes compared to the recent beta releases and just a regurgitated release announcement.

Gaming With The Open-Source R500 Driver
From the release of Mesa 7.1 Release Candidate 1 to Multi-Pointer X being merged to master to the R500 3D milestone, it's been an exciting past 24 hours for the X.Org community. With the open-source 3D support for the Radeon X1000 "R500" GPUs now reaching a parity with the Mesa support for earlier ATI Radeon product families, more Linux users can now consider turning to an open-source driver (xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd) for their video driver needs. In this article we are looking at what Linux games work thanks to this latest Mesa R500 support.

Open-Source ATI Driver Achieves 3D Success
While the RadeonHD developers have been busy working on Radeon HD 3200 / 780 Series support and other features for this open-source ATI R500/600+ driver, the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) support has been lagging behind. Earlier this month Matthias Hopf was successful in getting DRM working on an RS690 GPU and he has published RadeonHD DRM code into his personal development tree, but no code has yet to reach master. Meanwhile, as the xf86-video-ati driver is using AtomBIOS, they are able to spend more time working on the 3D features and other areas and less time "banging on registers" or even waiting on register documentation to arrive. David Airlie has been working on the R500 3D support along with Alex Deucher and Corbin Simpson. The trio has been making some great headway towards open-source 3D goodness for Radeon X1000 and HD 2000/3000 GPUs. Their most recent efforts have focused around the R500 fragment program code and today they have reached a monumental milestone.

|Phenolics in red wine pomace and their potential application in animal and human health
|Spradling, Victoria Baird
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Grape pomace by-products, from wine-making, have some beneficial antioxidant compounds left in them after vinification and could be a cheap source of these compounds for value added products. One of the most common antioxidant groups found in grapes are the phenols. These antioxidants have the potential to reduce cardiovascular disease, prevent some cancers, have chemoprotective roles, reduce signs of skin aging, aid in glucose transport, and prevent other diseases such as iron storage disease (ISD). In this research, five Missouri red wine pomace samples were evaluated; Chambourcin, Grenache, Michigan, Norton and Vincent varieties. They were analyzed for total phenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay, total condensed tannin content using the Vanillin-HCl assay, procyanidin degree of polymerization using normal-phase HPLC, iron-binding potential using the iron-binding phenolic capacity assay, and antioxidant activity using the ABTS and ORAC assays. The results showed that the vinification method applied to the grape variety greatly affected the pomace properties and composition. Red wine pomace, produced from lightly pressed grapes, has higher phenolic and antioxidant activities. This type of pomace has the greatest potential for applications that will benefit animal and human health.

More than five years after Michael Jackson's death, his daughter Paris and sons Prince and Blanket celebrated what would have been their late father's 56th birthday in his hometown of Gary, Indiana on August 29, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report.
In an exclusive photo, a smiling Paris, 16, poses with Prince, 17, and Blanket, 12, in the suburban town.
"Paris was extremely happy and signing autographs for fans," an onlooker tells Radar. "She was getting along very well with her brothers."
Paris attempted suicide last June, but sources say the hurting teen is on the mend and closer than ever with her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and her brothers.

It's always good to "vent" when you're upset. Holding in your emotions isn't healthy.

You do need to learn how to express them in a healthy way ... and to the right people who will understand and not judge you though.

Things always seem worse when you keep thinking about them ... talking usually helps so much.
This is the place to talk about whatever is bothering you. :)
Most of the time I think it's good to talk to someone - keeping it bottled up does tend to eat away at you and can make it seem worse. However, there are times where I've talked about things and it made it worse - not because of what anyone said - just because it made me feel worse for some reason. Most of the time it helps, though.
I let them go in places where no one can hear them in exception to the internet.
If it's so personal that you feel you can't tell anyone close to you, do find yourself a Counsellor. Nothing worse than bottling something up.
That's why i found this site. I let it all out here. If i'm too embarrassed i post it in an anonymous confession.
My mind is wired much different to where keeping things to myself doesn't have such of a bottled effect. I don't know what's up with me though, so don't take my word for it...
Not only bad but dangerous to you if anyone finds out you know. Find a safe way of telling what you know and go for it.
I bottle them until I blow. I don't recommend it.
depends on what it is

There's no way I'm missing Bar Refaeli birthday wishes. I'm horrible about remembering these events, but I am not missing out on the excuses to post some of my favorite Bar Refaeli photos in honor of her 28th birthday today. Okay, so maybe on Israeli time I'm already late, but here in L.A. my private Bar birthday party is just getting going.
Take a look at 20 of some of my very favorite Bar Refaeli photos and see if you don't feel like joining in the spanking machine for her birthday. I guess that pun is kind of intended. Enjoy.

Ruling Against Abortion Law
By Associated Press
Oklahoma City,OK – Judge rules against ultrasound requirement
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) An Oklahoma judge has ruled against a law that required women seeking an abortion to receive an ultrasound and a doctor's description of the fetus.
Oklahoma County District Judge Vicki Robertson granted a permanent injunction against the law Tuesday afternoon, saying it violated constitutional requirements that legislative measures deal only with one subject.
Plaintiffs' attorneys had argued that the law was unconstitutionally vague and that it was not clear what the doctor should tell women undergoing the ultrasound.
The law was passed by lawmakers who overrode Gov. Brad Henry's veto. Previous legal action prevented it from going into effect.

Boca Juniors will face severe penalties, says CONMEBOL official
ASUNCION, Paraguay -- Boca Juniors should be severely penalised after a Copa Libertadores playoff with bitter rival River Plate was suspended at Boca's La Bombonera Stadium, a top South American football official said on Saturday.

Argentine officials shut down Boca Juniors stadium for probe
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- Police were investigating Friday after a high-profile match between Argentine clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate was stopped when visiting players were sprayed by fans with an eye irritant believed to be pepper spray or mace.
Buenos Aires public prosecutor Martin Ocampo said Boca's stadium has been closed so investigators can "gather evidence."
The Copa Libertadores match between the Argentine rivals was played before about 50,000 fans. River won the first leg 1-0 last...

Professor Kanogo's lectures are interesting, but her accent is a little difficult to understand. She couldn't really answer some of the questions we had properly. She talks about Kenya a lot while talking about South Africa because that is where she is from. The sources we read for the class were good, but I would have liked more historical sources. A good class to learn about South Africa though.

I have a long awaited appointment with a consultant on 21st - no doubt it will be cancelled. For people whose salaries and working hours have improved so much recently I have only a little sympathy with their actions.

The Telegraph's letters today carried a good selection of views Telegraph letters. I feel really sorry for those, like Condom and john bunyan, who have long standing appointments, for which they may have had to wait some time and now may have to have the appointment re-arranged with even more delay with possible consequences for quality of life. It is irresponsible of the doctors.

Yes, I have checked. In my NHS area, it is increasingly the case that "specialist nurses" do what consultants did a few years ago. About a year ago, I was referred to a consultant by my GP. When I got to the hospital clinic, a specialist nurse sent me for an ultrasound (fair enough)then proceeded to carry out an uncomfortable investigation - no sedative etc. She then diagnosed a relatively minor cause, and sent me off (no meeting a doctor). I then found I had acquired a hospital induced very persistent E Coli infection which took 6 months to clear up. Recently the original symptoms recurred. Once again I was referred to a named consultant. Again the nurse sent me for a ultrasound scan. This time a better radiologist found a rather large kidney stone. The earliest appointment to see a real doctor was 6 weeks (21st) and to sort it out may be another 10 - 18 weeks. It seems very bad that you are referred to a consultant, but do not see one. I did not wish to go into so much boring detail. I have paid a one - off fee to see a consultant privately. He was miraculously available the next day. He said our area had cut costs more than others by getting nurses to do doctors jobs.

Our local hospital seems to be taking the broad brush approach and is closing down the outpatients department. I too have been through the system with just the Audiologist and no doubt she would also be fitting it or them. I'm getting two but she thinks I only need one and tells me the other will be a good spare. I also wish to pick up a box of batteries as I'll be going away again soon and who knows if I can get the type needed overseas.

The silly thing about this 'industrial action' is that the majority of doctors - particularly GPs - would much rather not take any action at all. They think, or at least their representatives think that it's the only way for them to make their point.
In truth it's far from being the only way - the better way would be to talk to their employers. Talking about this kind of problem is always better, provided employer and employee understand that both need to bring something to the table. Negotiation is an elegant and powerful thing, but it must always involve compromise (and not capitulation).
Intransigence is the enemy of negotiation, in fact it spells death to it. In this case I believe it looms large, and not on the part of the doctors.

It is one of the few "industrial actions" where I can see both points of view as having merit.
Fortunately, my doctor's appointment is six days earlier. I must enquire as to his proposed actions on the day in question.

Most ENT departments within the NHS are or seem to be working at top capacity, and I am talking from local experience and consultations over many years. In other words, I have been through the mill at various levels, including two operations of which the last one failed and cannot be attempted again. I also have Tinnitus. But you soon get accustomed to it all, where 'outsiders' might not, and do not allow for hearing impaired!.
Even consultants and nurses seem to whisper :O)
With regards to batteries, these are standard and should be available world-wide nowadays.
I would also suggest that when you a 'fitted' with the device or pair, then don't just rely on the technician being correct, if you don't feel right with the units after a trial period. Try to get an ear scientist (could be very difficult due to waiting times, and possibly only one ear scientist for the hospital) to 'set-up' the units correctly to your own preferences instead of the general 'accepted' procedure.
With regards to the pending 'strike' action, personally I wouldn't imagine this will effect the 'ordinary' person (yet!), because they may have already come accustomed to appointment times, delays, cancellations, DNS's etc. I know I have, and recently became involved with my local hospital trust with patient surveys and consultations at the highest levels with the hospital trust and PCT. Will things get better or worse, we will have to wait and see?.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Four days after getting overpowered by the New York Giants, the San Francisco 49ers returned to their old-school ways Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers didn't stop running until they owned sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Frank Gore rushed for 131 yards on 16 carries, leading the 49ers to a 13-6 victory over the Seahawks at Candlestick Park. San Francisco improved to 5-2, while Seattle fell to 4-3 and into third place in the division behind 4-2 Arizona. "I just got into a rhythm," Gore said. "I feel that once I get into a rhythm, I can't be stopped. When everyone's on the same page, we can do great things in the running game." Gore, who rushed for a career-high 212 yards against Seattle in 2006, also caught five passes for 51 yards Thursday. He finished with 182 total yards despite sitting out the 49ers' final series as a precaution because of soreness from a hard hit he took earlier in the game. Gore told CSNBayArea.c...

If you've every wondered what it would be like if Natalie Portman had really big boobs, wonder no more. But don't worry, Natalie didn't get breast implants. But she did apparently stuff her bra real good for her role in the upcoming My Blueberry Nights. She also went blonde for the film, and holy crap does she look good.
Now, I've always been a fan of the regular, petite Natalie Portman, but I've got to say, even though I know 100% that those aren't really her boobs, and that breast implants are gross anyway, that primitive male instinct in the back of my head (known as my brain) doesn't care at all! WAWAWEEWA!

Elgin Baylor's lawsuit against Donald Sterling shot down by jury
Mar 30, 2011, 4:19 PM EDT
Clippers Donald Sterling is still a despicable human being. A man with a laundry list of offenses of offenses from the serious (racial housing discrimination) to just screwing up his NBA team. This has not changed.
But he has won key court battle.
A jury Wednesday rejected a $2 million lawsuit brought by former Clippers GM Elgin Baylor seeking damages for being fired due to age discrimination, the Los Angeles Times reports.
It's hard to argue, with the Clippers record over the last couple decades, that Baylor was a good GM who could not have been dismissed for cause. You can see the defense attorney and jury's point there, even though you can also question how much real power Baylor had during parts of his tenure.
What this lawsuit did was peel back the curtain a little more on Sterling and the Clippers, and everyone cringed in disgust. While Blake Griffin distracts us, the team is still run by the worst owner in professional sports. And despite how we want to see Griffin and the Clippers succeed, you fear all that Sterling is and does will somehow come back to haunt the team.
Because the one real constant in the decades of Clippers futility is Sterling. And that is not changing.

How does this team even have one fan? They lose excessively, they destroy or drive away what little talent that out of pure luck alone has fallen into their despicable laps.
They are a blight on the good name of Los Angeles.
To those of you who buy Clipper tickets and jerseys: you are lining Donald Sterling's pockets with money while he has done NOTHING to build even a semi-respectable team. And still you give that dirtbag money.
I will never understand.

I don't get Clippers' fans either. Bad management, bad record, bad history, bad owner…what do they get out of cheering for that team? It's like being a fan of losing.
The one shining bit of goodness (Griffin) is probably gone as soon as he can get of there.

Griffin is a devastating ACL injury just waiting to happen. Either that or he leaves.

I guess the jury looked at the Clippers record over the past 20 yrs.
