They should because you could be the victim. Yes, they could happen to you and other uninformed international travelers.
Should You Be Concerned?
Yes, you should. Leaving your country for another country can be nervous wrecking and full of surprises. Having to find yourself in difficulty or in trouble with law enforcement, the culture or the people in a foreign country can be a nightmare. It could cost you money and even your life. It could also ruin your trip and land you in a foreign prison. And worst of it all, you may get little or no help from your home government.
Can You Do Something About it?
Yes, you can!
Yes, you can drastically reduce the chances of falling victim.
Yes, you can make your overseas trip safe, enjoyable and incident-free.
Yes, you can make your trip embarrassment-free.
This is How!
Learn as much as possible, the social and cultural do's and taboos (don'ts) about the country you intend visiting. The majority of the problems travelers encounter in foreign countries often result from their lack of knowledge of dos' and don'ts in those countries.
Learn everything you can about the country you plan visiting. No amount of information about any foreign country you plan visiting is too much for an international traveler.
Learn more about the country BEFORE YOU GO! and not when you are already in the country. It may be too late. Finally, GET A COPY of

J.K. Rowling wins damages over pseudonym reveal, donates money to charity
J.K. Rowling was not pleased her "Robert Galbraith" pseudonym was revealed to the world, and she took those responsible for giving away her cover to court. Chris Gossage, Judith Callegari and Russells Solicitors all apologized to Rowling for the leak and agreed to pay her legal costs as well as a donation, in lieu of damages, to The Soldiers' Charity.
In Rowling's secret book "The Cuckoo's Calling," the main character is a war veteran-turned-private investigator. The author says that she is donating the money to The Soldiers' Charity "partly as a thank you to the army people ... but also because writing a hero who is a veteran has given me an even greater appreciation and understanding of exactly how much this charity does for ex-servicemen and their families, and how much that support is needed."
According to Rowling, she also plans to donate all the royalties from "The Cuckoo's Calling" to The Soldiers' Charity. It had been her plan from the get-go, but she says she never expected herself to be outed as the book's author and for it to make "the bestseller list a mere three months after publication."
Following the reveal of the source of the pseudonym, Rowling released a statement reading, "A tiny number of people knew my pseudonym and it has not been pleasant to wonder for days how a woman whom I had never heard of prior to Sunday night could have found out something that many of my oldest friends did not know. To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. I had assumed that I could expect total confidentiality from Russells, a reputable professional firm, and I feel very angry that my trust turned out to be misplaced."

Well it is never a day of celebration when people lose half of their investment, but we did tell you so. As we suspected IPWG took a hit, and lost more than half of its value. We do not know why the stock fell apart, but we did warn yesterday that it could happen. What goes up must come down.
This is not investment advice.
Reviewing penny stock markets determining opportunity, if any. Your guard should be up when researching penny stocks. Taking a company from a pennystock and eventually listing on a major exchange is a challenging feat. Many companies attempt it every year, many fail. One example is TRLG, initially a pennystock, recently bought out for $30 per share. Stocks like TRLG are rare, but they happen.

Xenophon (c.430-c.354): Athenian historian, author of the Anabasis.
On his return from the east, Xenophon was in some trouble, because he had by now become a mercenary leader with a band of rather ill-disciplined followers. However, his meeting with the Spartan king Agesilaus II and their joint campaign in Anatolia changed his fortunes. On their return to Greece, the king gave Xenophon a country estate near Olympia, where he started a career as a writer.
Among his other works are a vie romancée of king Cyrus the Great, a Symposium, and a book on horses. His masterpiece is the fascinating account of Cyrus' expedition against king Artaxerxes, the Anabasis. The chapters on Armenia, where the soldiers had to pass through endless snow fields, are among the highlights of Greek literature, and the scene in which the soldiers - somewhere south of Trapezus - shout "Θάλαττα, θάλαττα" ("The sea! The sea!"), knowing they will one day return from the Armenion hell, has become rightly famous.
Towards the end of his life, Spartan power collapsed (Xenophon's son Gryllus was killed in action in the battle of Mantinea) and he was forced to move to Corinth. Here he wrote his Hellenica (Greek history), which begins at the point where Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War breaks off. This continuity, however, does not apply to the depth of the analysis, because Xenophon lacks the objectivity of his predecessor.
Xenophon greatly inspired later authors, like Arrian of Nicomedia, and his Anabasis remains one of the most fascinating texts from the ancient world.

Leaving an artist review on tattoo.com is a useful way to help other enthusiasts find a credible artist for their work. What takes just a moment for you can help someone else get a great tattoo or avoid a permanent mistake down the road. Whether the artist was clean and professional or the space shoddy and unsterile both reviews are beneficial to help the artist promote themselves and grow through the honest feedback of customers.
How to Write a Review
Reviews aren't difficult to write. They don't have to be paragraphs long or carry on about insignificant details. Rather, focus your artist reviews on all of the basics. Who, what, when, where, why… and how things turned out. Most people will briefly skim reviews with a grain of salt, unless you're hoping to take an artist down in a blaze of glory because you are unhappy with your tattoo, and would rather vent than try to remedy. Remember for the sake of relationships, you should always first contact your tattoo artist if you are unsatisfied. Most of them would much rather work with you to make you happy than cringe at your public rant later. Call the shop or go in person and be honest with your current gripe. If it's a fixable mistake they'll likely sit you down and do their best to make you happy.
When You Feel Thrilled
It's OK to scream it from a rooftop. It really is. Most artists love the adoration of their followers, so be sure to speak up when you've got some love to share. If she takes the time, steers you in the right direction and never lets you down, you owe it to her to say something in a big way. Reviews are good for that and good for her business. So don't be shy. Speak up!
When You Must Leave a Negative Review
Certain things must be said. Unsafe and unsterile practices are one such example. You may first, again, let your artist know of your concern, but never feel sorry for helping to shut down shops that are downright dirty. At tattoo.com, we want our artists and enthusiasts to connect and form professional relationships within the industry, with both respect and integrity for the craft.
Why Reviews Matter
Reviews are a strong foundation point for anyone hoping to brand themselves and form an audience, so please share your experience after receiving a tattoo or a custom art request by visiting your artist's member profile here on tattoo.com. He'll appreciate your efforts, and so will the many enthusiasts after you who just want a beautiful tattoo. Do your part for the love of art!

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A man was sentenced to 40 years in prison today for conspiring with another man to drug, torture and rape a young man they picked up at a Tampa club.
Scott Schweickert was convicted of distributing the drug GHB to a victim to commit a crime of violence. He was acquitted on a drug distribution charge that involved a second man.
Prosecutors said Schweickert and Steven Lorenzo drugged, tortured and raped men they lured home from bars in 2003. Two of them died.
Lorenzo was convicted of the same federal charges in November 2005 and sentenced to 200 years in prison.
Schweickert's attorney said his client engaged in role-playing sexual fantasies and was shocked when Lorenzo killed the two men.
In a taped interview with investigators played in court, Schweickert admitted helping Lorenzo cut off the limbs of one of the victims, put the parts in trash bags and dump them in trash bins across the city.

Here Come The Fake Candidates
The Republican Party of Wisconsin plans on running protest candidates in recall elections. Republican Party of Wisconsin Executive Director Stephan Thompson released a statement on the decision to run protest candidates. He says that in an effort to ensure election fairness, the Republican Party has recruited protest candidates to run in all of the upcoming recall elections. The protest candidates will run as Democrats to guarantee that there is one clear date for the primary election and one clear date for the general election. Thompson says the Republican Party will not actively campaign for the protest candidates, other than collecting nomination signatures to ensure their place on the ballot. Thompson adds that without protest candidates, the Democratic Party would be able to control the dates in which Republican officials face election, potentially separating the elections for State Senate and Lieutenant Governor from the Governor.
Recalls; Governor
(AP) A recall election has been officially ordered against embattled first-term Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker after more than 900,000 signatures were collected on petitions to force a vote. The Government Accountability Board voted 5-0 Friday to order the recall against the Republican, a move that's been expected for weeks given the high number of signatures gathered between November and January. It took 540,208 signatures to trigger a recall. If a Democratic primary is necessary, it will be May 8. The actual recall vote then will be June 5. Walker was targeted for recall after he pushed through a law last year that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most state workers. There have been only two successful recalls of governors in U.S. history.
Recalls; Lt. Governor
(AP) Wisconsin elections officials have ordered a recall vote for Republican Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch. The Government Accountability Board ordered the vote Friday after nearly 809,000 signatures were submitted on recall petitions. The vote will be May 8 unless a primary is necessary. That would push the general election to June 5. Multiple Democrats have said they are running for the spots, which make primaries likely. Both Walker and Kleefisch were targeted for recall following passage last year of a law they backed that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for public workers.
Recalls; Senators
(AP) Recall elections have been ordered against four Republican Wisconsin state senators. The Government Accountability Board on Friday approved setting the recall elections for May 8 unless a primary is necessary. If so, that would be May 8 and the general election would be June 5. One of the targeted senators, Pam Galloway of Wausau, resigned earlier this month.
However, the recall election will proceed to fill her now vacant seat. The other three targeted incumbents are Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau, Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls and Van Wanggaard of Racine. The Senate is currently evenly split 16-16 between Republicans and Democrats. The recalls will determine which party has control, but the Legislature is adjourned for the year.
Onalaska Soldier To Be Honored
(AP) Four former soldiers in the Wisconsin Army National Guard will be inducted into the Guard's Hall of Honor. The four are highly decorated soldiers who enlisted in or were drafted into the U.S. Army between 1965 and 1971. Their tours of duty included stints in Vietnam and Kuwait. The soldiers are retired Brig. Gen. Kerry Denson of Lake Mills; retired Brig. Gen. James Krueck of McFarland; retired Col. Timothy Pfrang of Sussex; and retired Col. David Schumacher of Onalaska. Their induction is ``for exceptional achievement and devotion to duty.'' They'll be honored May 5 in a public ceremony in Madison. The four will join 46 others previously inducted into the Hall of Honor. The soldiers were selected by a committee of current and past Guard soldiers.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6286915.html?tag=latestheadlines%3Btitle%3B1 Now we have more of an excuse to accuse Activision of terrorism....It is somewhat odd that a terrorist attack on a Russian airport occurred one year after the game was released. Still, leave it on the media to find a tragedy to exploit.
No Russian blamed for real life airport bombing

While I always think it's sad when things like this happen (both because people died, and because Infinity Ward clearly would never want something like this to happen in real life), it was inevitable that the first event like this in Russia would be tied into that level.

And yeah, I knew this would happen when I heard about this. So ridiculous. I'm sure there's been plenty of movies where bad shit goes down in a Russian airport, but since MW2 is a video game, it's at fault. Obviously no entertainment medium is at fault. It's just a very unfortunate coincidence.

I read that article earlier. One thing I thought was funny was that they assume that terrorist, who spend all day growsing around thinking of ways to hurt people, need help planning their ideas.
" @shivermetimbers: Why is it odd?? In 2004 two Russian planes were blown up by suicide bombers.But this is at an airport. I'm not blaming the game on what happened, it's an obvious scapegoat that has absolutely no relation to the event other than the fact that it took place at an airport.

Because no one ever thought of killing people in an airport until Modern Warfare 2 came out. Also, in MW2 a group of guys gun people down. This jackass strapped a bomb to himself. The only relation is that it involved Russians and was in an airport. If we are going to make broad strokes like that, then I am going to blame Die Hard 2 for this tragedy.
I blame the people who did what they did not a fucking video game. For fucks sake what the hell is wrong with people these days. So they attacked an airport because they played too much MW2? Really? really!?!?!?! You might as well blame every other violent movie or video game.

Absolutely pathetic.
Airports/Airplanes have been terrorist targets for decades - Airports are packed places, with many international passengers, and the modern Travel system is seen as an integral part to the modern world that these Terrorists hate so much. Attacking an airport is symbolic for the terrorists, and it makes sense because they intend to inflict as many casualties as possible.
MW2 is not to blame for terrorist actions. Terrorists are to blame for terrorist actions. And why would they draw inspiration from MW2? In MW2, the airport attack led to a huge war. The Chechen separatists don't want another huge war with Russia (they lost the last one), they want Russia to leave.

" People are basically propagating a blog from some nobody site that no one's ever heard of then going "how dare the news do this". Fucking imbecile. "Yep. Figures that GameSpot would cover this "news" story, although I'm sure kotaku will be right behind them.
Also, when four men with machine guns and bulletproof vests casually walk though an airport and kill everyone in sight, THEN the media can say "Hey! It's just like that game!"
No politicians or any notable figures worth talking to at all are featured in that report (no Russians either, howzat for irony?). Medvedev immediately condemned the airport's security, not a fucking video game. Pathetic throwaway story, which I sincerely hope will be forgotten about by the end of the week for being completely ignorant.

I can see how they'd make the connection. But they act like terrorists have never bombed a public place before.
I guess I should correct myself. Its the Russian state sponsored site, and when I think of Russian state sponsored news I think "integrity". I think of 24 hour coverage of Putin singing Blueberry Moon and no mention of 5 mysterious suicides by non-state sponsored journalists. Surely what they say speaks for all news outlets.
First off....I don't remember being a suicide bomber in MW2.....nice way to connect two things that have no connection world, nice going...
Edit: Oh and I love how they keep saying AMERICAN game, AMERICAN company wtf is that about? This is why I don't watch the news anymore everyone just whines that everyone else is wrong. OMG a simple youtube search of No Russian will show you these horrible things that have been shown much more graphically in other media Oh WOE is ME!

The media is pointless, and they are developing into a culture of trolls. They get a view point set and do nothing but ride that opinion until everyone just gets annoyed and starts ignoring the stations. I quit watching TV for the most part because I got so tired of it over the past 10 years. And it's not like you can just not watch certain programs, because they slip opinions I don't care to hear about anymore into every single program.
" Russian versions of the game didn't even have the fucking mission!This x1000. Fucking media always trying to scapegoat something.
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/17/activision-pulled-mw2-no-russian-scene-in-russia-on-advice-of/ "
Not exactly sure how Russia Today is mainstream media, it's a little particular of them to even have this "report" since they also went on pointing to Chechnya before even airing this crap. No consistency in their crap.
To think the Russians would avoid shitting on Chechnya, more shocking.

RADAR: Anna Krantz/
Piano-playing singer/songwriter Anna Krantz divides her time between New York and her U.K. home, playing the clubs of the Lower East Side and then to her native stomping ground in London. An in-demand session keyboardist, Krantz has also found success as a songwriter, both solo and as a collaborative co-writer with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Steve Booker (Duffy). "Anna was one of the first ever people I collaborated with," says Sheeran, "and I'm still playing the songs we wrote together today. She's an amazing songwriter and performer and it's always a pleasure to play shows with her." Last year the much-buzzed Sheeran called on Krantz to open for him at his showcases in New York. Krantz' latest EP Foundation is a collection of passionate and soulful songs that display her ability to meld dramatic force (the captivating title track, stream below) with breezy hook-filled melodies (latest single "Recharge My Heart".

FAMILIARITY may breed contempt, and it also makes it easier to ignore our nearest and dearest.
The brain can focus on one voice in a noisy room. To find out if familiarity of the voice helps, Ingrid Johnsrude at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, recruited 23 married couples. Individuals were played two sentences simultaneously and asked to report back details about one of them, such as the colour and number mentioned. They did this correctly 80 per cent of the time when their spouse spoke the target sentence and a stranger spoke the decoy sentence. If strangers spoke both, the success rate dropped to 65 per cent.
But if the target sentence was spoken by a stranger, and the decoy by their spouse, the success rate was 73 per cent. This suggests a familiar voice is easier to focus on than a stranger's – and also easier to ignore.
However, people in older couples were less able to ignore their spouse if he or she spoke the decoy sentence (Psychological Science, DOI: 10.1177/0956797613482467). Perhaps this explains why older people can struggle to hear in noisy places, or why so many claim to be selectively deaf.

The Royal Society is to mount a major inquiry into the state of British science. The inquiry, led by the new president of the society, Michael Atiyah, will recommend policies designed to ensure the health of scientific research over the next decade.
The inquiry comes at a time when the research councils are grappling with an unprecedented financial crisis (This Week, 1 December 1990). 'It is now timely for scientists themselves to take stock and consider how far the structures emerging for UK science are those best suited to the needs of scientific research over the next decade,' said Atiyah.
The society points out that since 1981, government expenditure on the science base has dipped from 0.35 per cent of GDP to just 0.28 per cent today. Also, it says, international collaboration in science has increased over the past decade, raising questions about the balance between domestic and international programmes. ...

A Word About Bearings
There are a lot of misconceptions about bearings. That little tang on main and rod bearings isn't there to keep the bearing in place; it's a reference tool to ensure proper bearing positioning. Never use engine oil or assembly lube between bearing and rod, or bearing and block. Contact between bearing and rod, and bearing and block must be bone-dry for security purposes. Crush and crosshatch keep a bearing secure; so do dry contact surfaces. Be sure to use generous amounts of engine assembly lube (do not use a moly-based lube) on journals and bearings. Make sure the bearing is properly centered and secured. Check the oil hole alignment of the bearing where applicable.

Why Degree?
Blueprinting is the process of leaving no stone unturned in an engine build. Blueprinting means sweating details others tend to miss. It's one thing to call your build "balanced and blueprinted" and quite another to actually do it. When we degree a camshaft, we're examining the most important details of an engine build--rotating assembly and valve timing events.
Because there's no such thing as perfection in mass production, you must always believe in failure potential. Assume the worst and hope for the best. New parts right out of the box aren't perfect. Like the best of machine shops, there are going to be factory workers who are having bad days--inattentive to things they should be attentive to, apathetic, careless, sloppy, eager for lunchtime or beer-thirty. Are you willing to gamble hard-earned dollars and your engine to this kind of carelessness? We didn't think so.
When we degree an engine, we're checking two things if it's being performed properly. First, we're checking for true TDC (top dead center) on all eight cylinders. Reputable builders will check for true TDC on the No. 1 cylinder and see if it jibes with TDC on the harmonic balancer. Most of the time, it won't. When it doesn't, good builders will mark true TDC on the balancer--and degree the balancer for pinpoint timing. True TDC is dead-middle of the top-dead-center crank journal rollover when the piston dwells at the top of the bore.
Wise builders will find true TDC on all eight cylinders more for curiosity's sake than anything. The truth is, true TDC will vary with even the best 4340 steel crankshafts. In a perfect world, we would have identical TDC on all eight cylinders, but this isn't a perfect world. Factory machining tolerances vary enough that you're not going to have eight cylinders that smack TDC with identical consistency; however, it's always good to know exactly what you have before buttoning up.
Once you've established true TDC on the No. 1 cylinder, you're free to degree the camshaft. Degreeing a camshaft allows you to compare the cam card and camshaft. You're establishing valve-timing events and lift as they relate to crankshaft travel. If you're unhappy with valve-timing events, this is the time to make changes either with the existing cam or opting for another one.
