Incredible: Gary Chang's 24 Rooms in a 30 Sq Meters Apartment
In one of the most populated cities in the world, where 30 square meter apartments are a way of living, one has to be creative. But we would say that this home crosses the creativity line and becomes a work of genius. Gary Chang, an architect from Hong Kong figured it was time to bring a little change to the design scene in China. His apartment was the first to suffer a major transformation. How many rooms can fit in a 30 sq meters apartment? One? Ok, maybe two, if you count the hallway.Well, prepare to get shocked: Gary managed to fit 24 rooms in such a place and each and everyone of them has its unique personality.
This was possible due to an ingenious system of sliding walls which can be moved around in order to reveal more room and utilities. Sure, there are a few issues that come to mind, like what happens if he has kids to visit or if someone isn't all that tidy, but who really cares for that stuff? Check out the video for a lot more info and let us now what impact this had on you.-via Fubiz

I wouldn't pull on my closet like that, i am afraid of what might be behind it :)) But this guy should really make people think about using space in a better way…
Having stepped foot in most of Toronto's great loft spaces, I know my clients love the idea of flexible living spaces. The idea that you can create so many rooms is great for those who feel that small spaces are limiting. Can't wait to have some of my designer clients implement this idea into their designs.

There is now more reason than ever to link common bacteria to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or cot death.
The link was proposed decades ago, but evidence was scarce. Now researchers from the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, who trawled through the results of about 500 autopsies, have shown that Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli are more prevalent in SIDS babies than in those whose cause of death was known (The Lancet, vol 371, p 1848).
Bacteria are unlikely to be solely to blame, but the body's immune response to bacterial toxins may help explain how several known environmental and genetic risk factors for SIDS might become fatal. Sleeping on the front increases bacteria in the baby's upper windpipe, smoking during pregnancy alters the fetal immune response and some genetic differences in SIDS babies relate to immune response.

Kampala — The Ministry of Education and Sport will for the first time recognise and examine people with skills obtained in the informal sector, the Director of Directorate of Industrial Training has revealed.
Mr Henry Okinyal said the move aims at supporting work done by people who failed to get formal education, but consistently do good work. "In our future plans, we intend to conduct some of our assessments in a more flexible manner. We want to start assessing people who obtained skills in the informal sector purposely to provide them with certificates that can assist them in upgrading," Eng. Okinyal said.
Okinyal made the revelation on November 13 while presenting the results of the Occupational Assessment, and Trade Test Examination to the Minister of Higher Education Mwesigwa Rukutana for release.
The examinations were carried out by the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) from May 25-29 in 34 assessment institutes. A total of 1,541 candidates were registered for the assessment, of which 415 were female and 1,129 were male.
Citing people dealing in welding and fabrication in Katwe, a Kampala suburb, and those doing carpentry and joinery among other trades, Mr Sam Masolo, of DIT said many artisans do fantastic work but they don't have any paper to present in the labour market.
"We need to offer them with certificates they will be presenting in the labour market as well as assisting them in upgrading," he said.
While presenting the occupational assessment results, Eng Okinyal said candidates on average scored 50 per cent and 71 per cent in theory and practicals respectively.
He said 76.4 per cent of the total candidates who sat for the examinations passed.
Examined subjects include Machining and Fitting, Electrical Installation and Fitting, Auto Electrical, Carpentry and Joinery. Others are Catering and Hotel Management, Computer Applications and Secretarial Studies.
Minister Rukutana praised DIT's move saying it would promote on-job training and facilitate upward progression of skilled personnel. "We are strongly advocating for a harmonisation of trained and skilled people," he said. He advised people to embrace technical education courses.

The Bachelorette
Sean Lowe Tells All! Will He Be The Next Bachelor? — Exclusive
Thanks to his height and his blonde, blue-eyed good looks, it's easy to spot Sean Lowe in a crowd. Getting to him, however, is no easy task considering the guy's literally swarmed with female Bachelorette fans begging him for a picture everywhere he goes. We learned that the hard way yesterday at the RealBeanz Scavenger Hunt with Reality Stars event in NYC — which benefitted Blythedale Children's Hospital and was thrown by none other than Bachelor alum Jenna Burke. Also in the crowd: former Bachelorette stars Graham Bunn and Dave Goode, as well as Bachelor cutie Kacie Boguskie.
Ever the gentleman (Oh, how we adore those southern manners!), Sean made a point to carve out a few minutes to chat with Wetpaint Entertainment. Given all the buzz that he's a likely candidate, we had to ask about the very real possibility that he may become the next Bachelor. Sean answered all of our questions.. and also opened up about what he's looking for in a woman. Ladies, get those applications ready!
Wetpaint Entertainment: Thanks so much for talking to us!
Sean Lowe: Of course.
You live in Dallas right now. What made you want to fly all the way to New York for this particular event?
Well, I know that my window of "fame" – if that's what you want to call it – is limited. So while I have it, I want to give back as much as I can and this was a great opportunity to support a good cause. I work with the Children's Hospital back in Dallas and my heart just goes out for those kids. On top of that, it's been a fun weekend and I got to hang out with a lot of people I've never met before, like Graham and David.
The rumor mill is going crazy about you being the next Bachelor. If it was offered to you, would you do it?
If I were to be asked, I would have to think long and hard about it. My main concern is that the whole process was emotionally and physically taxing. Do I want to subject myself to that again? I don't know. At the same time, I was pretty cynical going into The Bachelorette, but a few weeks into it I realized, 'Wow, this can actually work." So I do believe in the process. I do think it can work.
If you were chosen, what would you bring to table?
I'm a guy who knows what I want. There are three main qualities I'm looking for in a woman. She has to be sweet, she has to have a good heart and be genuine. She has to be smart. And she needs to be funny. I'm looking for someone quick-witted who can keep me on my toes and, just you know, have a good time.
How would you feel if it went to Roberto [Martinez] or Arie [Luyendyk Jr.] instead?
I don't actually know Roberto, but everyone I talk to says he's a super nice guy. And I know Arie very well. Arie's a great guy, he's a sweetheart. But he's very different from me. He's a European race car driver, I'm more the all-American type. But I think either of them would make great Bachelors.
If it is you, are you ready to commit to one woman and get married?
Absolutely. I'm not saying I'm out looking there looking for her all the time, but if she came across my path, then I'm absolutely at the point in my life where I'm ready to settle down.
Good luck!

text: While doing incline D.B presses today with 55lbs in each hand I lost concentration for 1 second and the one dumbell fell backwards. My shoulder cracked or made some weird noise. It hurt immediately but now after 5 hours my shoulder feels uncomfortable but not in pain. Should I get an MRI??? They take forever to get right? Also if you partially tear your rotator cuff is their a chance it can heal all by itself withought getting surgery. I am scared sh!tless. Just today I was thinking how lucky I was to avoid injury all my life. Please give me some advice on what to do. I've never had an injury like this. I've already decided to not touch another weight for 2 weeks besides on leg day (no sldl's though)

Heat Rash
When your skin has been prickled by the heat, the first order of business is to cool down. For the next few days, spend as much time as you can in the cold comfort of an air-conditioned environment. Take a cool bath or shower. Have your favorite someone fan you with an ostrich feather. And while you're waiting for your skin to chill, try these other remedies.
What's Wrong?
The itchy red bumps dotting your neck, armpits, chest, and groin are caused by sweat with nowhere to go. Normally, perspiration evaporates, which cools your skin. But sweat trapped by fabric can't escape. The skin swells, blocks the sweat pores, and perspiration leaks into the skin, which erupts into that bumpy rash. As the bumps burst, releasing their sweat, you may feel the stinging sensation that gives heat rash its other name: prickly heat. Hot, humid weather; sweat; and constricting clothes are a recipe for heat rash. So is skin rubbing against skin, which is common in heavy folks or women with large breasts.
Pack It With Ice
Anything that cools the temperature of your skin will reduce the itching and swelling. So if you don't have time for a bath, put an ice pack or a cool compress on the rash for 10 minutes every 4 to 6 hours.
Add the Magic Powder
Sometimes it seems as if baking soda is good for just about anything, and it's certainly good for relieving heat rash. Soak in a tub to which you've added a few tablespoons of the powder. It will ease the itching and make you feel more comfortable while the rash heals. You can also add fine-ground oatmeal, which is sold under brand names such as Aveeno.
Apply baking soda or cornstarch directly to the rash site to absorb moisture and sweat. This is an age-old approach, recommended by many country grandmothers. Some say cornstarch is better because it is softer on the skin. Reapply every few hours, rinsing and drying the skin beforehand.
Slather to Soothe
- The sticky gel of the aloe vera leaf has long been used to relieve itching and promote healing.Apply the gel to the affected skin two or three times a day, washing the skin before each application.
- Apply calamine lotion. A traditional home remedy for poison ivy, the pink stuff can also ease the itching and irritation of heat rash.
Get Out in the Air
If blisters accompany the rash, don't cover them up. Fresh air will speed their healing.
Should I Call the Doctor?
Simple heat rash is irritating but hardly serious; the itch and inflammation should clear up in a day or two. But call your doctor if the rash doesn't go away within a few days, or if the bumps become infected. You may need medication. Also seek emergency assistance if nausea, dryness, thirst, headache, and paleness accompany the rash. In severe forms, heat rash can interfere with the body's temperature-regulating mechanism and cause fever.
The Power of Prevention
- Limit your physical activity in extremely hot and humid weather. (The threat of heat rash is a great excuse to avoid a workout.) And take as many cold showers or baths as needed to cool yourself.
- Wear loose cotton clothing. It's more likely to keep your skin dry, making heat rash less likely to plague your tender skin. Avoid nylon and polyester fabrics and tight clothing in general, especially during the summer months.
- Avoid oily, greasy sunscreens, or formulations that contain cocoa butter. Choose a less greasy lotion that's hypoallergenic and blocks both UVA and UVB light.
- At the beach, perch under an umbrella. Your spot in the shade will be significantly cooler than a seat in the sun.
- If you could stand to lose a few pounds, do. Overweight people tend to sweat more and generate more body heat, making a rash more likely to erupt.
Increase your intake of essential fatty acids by eating more salmon, other cold-water fish, and flaxseed oil. These healthy fats help curtail inflammation in the body, making you less susceptible to rashes.

Ben Affleck Named 2012's Entertainer of the Year — Good Call?
Entertainment Weekly editor Jess Cagle was on Good Morning America today and revealed that the magazine's new cover boy, and Entertainer of the Year for 2012, is ... Argo director Ben Affleck!
Ah. Really? OK.
Jess said Ben has never let failure or success keep him down, and he's a great example of how to live and work. So this is probably a good endorsement for Argo to get Best Picture and Best Director Oscar nominations. Still ... love the guy, but when we think of 2012, our minds don't immediately go to Ben.
What do you think? Who is your Entertainer of the Year?

Lindsey Hunter's fate could be sealed
The decision should come down in the next 10 days, maybe sooner. Will Lindsey Hunter be back as coach of the Phoenix Suns next season?
If this week is any indication, that answer will be 'no.'
I believe this week has sealed Hunter's fate and it has nothing to do with the recent 10-game losing streak, the franchise-record home losing streak or the fact they hadn't won a game since March 18 before beating the Mavericks Wednesday night.
It has everything to do with what players are saying. Michael Beasley started it off by saying he doesn't listen to anyone anymore, including his coaches. Now anything Beasley says, you take with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, when your $18 million project says he is tuning out the coaching, it's not good.
But more importantly, it's what Luis Scola said that makes it perfectly clear that change is needed.
"We just don't know how to play well," Scola said. "We don't know how to play basketball and that's why we lose. We saw the problem pretty much the first week and we couldn't fix it."
Now Beasley is one thing, but Scola is one of the most respected players in the game. And if he is saying the Suns don't know how to play basketball then they don't know how to play basketball.
Hunter is 10-27 for a .270 winning percentage as the Suns coach. That's not bad, it's downright awful, embarrassing and pathetic. He doesn't have a lot to work with as Lance Blanks hasn't exactly built a team worth the price of admission.
But Hunter and his message are clearly not working. The Suns haven't gotten better under him, they've gotten worse! So it's time for a new voice, a coach who can teach this team how to play basketball.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
How Much Did Kandi Burruss's Engagement Ring Cost? The Answer May Shock You!
We're overjoyed that Todd Tucker finally put a ring on it and asked the lovely Kandi Burruss to marry him, but exactly how much did the television production staffer spend on his gal's new rock?
Kandi's 2-carat sparkler comes from jeweler Gregg Ruth and is part of his Karina Collection. As Tamara Tattles points out, the ring retails for $10,988. While that figure may seem low for someone like our girl Kandi, keep in mind that she actually picked out the ring during an RHoA cast trip to Las Vegas, which was filmed for Season 5.
Once Kandi told Todd that she had her eye on that specific piece of ice, her hunny had it shipped to Atlanta and carried it around for four months before popping the question. Aww!
So while it may not be the most expensive rock on the ATL block — we're pretty sure that honor goes to Kim Zolciak and her iceberg — it's clearly very special to Kandi.
Are you surprised that her ring costs less than 11k? Weigh in below!

WASHINGTON -- The day after Beverly Byron's congressman husband dropped dead at age 48 while training for the Marine Corps marathon, the governor of Maryland sat in the widow's living room, urging her to take his seat.
"My two boys said, 'She'll run.' I said, 'I will?' They said, 'Yes.' It was the best decision they ever made," recalled Byron, a House member from 1978 to 1992, twice as long as her husband.
Succeeding a politician who dies in office has long been a woman's surest path to electoral success: Among first-time House candidates from 1916 to 1993, 84% of the widows won, while only 14% of other women were victorious. The trend was strongest when women were rarer in politics; 35 of the 95 women who served in Congress through 1976 were congressional wives first.
Now, with more than 1,500 female lawmakers nationwide and 100 women expected to run for Congress this fall, the so-called widow's mandate seems in vogue again, as the current California political landscape vividly demonstrates.
Democrat Lois Capps, her husband Walter's sidekick on the campaign trail and in Congress until his fatal heart attack Oct. 28, is favored to win a March 10 special election in the Central Coast district. Republican Mary Bono, a former waitress who said "no" when Larry King asked last week whether she was politically involved, is the only announced candidate to fill the House seat vacated this month when her husband, Sonny, died in a skiing accident.
If elected, they would join Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.), who won husband Bill's seat after he died of lung cancer in June 1996--the first instance of matrimonial succession since 1985.
Historically, party leaders anointed widows to honor the deceased member, tap voters' sympathy and exploit name recognition to hold onto a seat while more conventional candidates prepared for the real campaign. For many of the women, taking their husbands' seats helped them grieve--and made up for the sudden loss of income in a world where few worked outside the home.
But frequently, a funny thing happened on the way to Congress: Widows who passively accepted political posts during the daze of mourning often decided to stick around, sometimes bucking the will of those who had tapped them.
Several outlasted--and outshined--their husbands.
"Very often, the wife turns out to be a hell of a politician," said Stephen Hess, a political dynasties expert at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. "You talk about founding fathers, but there were founding mothers too. These political families were often a twosome."
Political scientist Diane Blair examined the phenomenon in a 1978 paper titled "Over His Dead Body," and later wrote a biography of the first woman elected to the Senate, Hattie Caraway (D-Ark.), who served from her appointment in 1931--after her husband's death--until 1945.
"Behind a strong member of Congress is [often] a very supportive and insightful spouse," Blair said in an interview. Assuming a dead husband's place in office "was a natural extension" for such women.
Caraway carved the mold of a widow selected as a bench warmer who forged her own political career--despite the protests of her husband's cronies.
"The time has passed when a woman should be placed in a position and kept there only while someone else is being groomed for the job," Caraway said in announcing her surprise plan to run for election in 1932 against several Arkansans coveting the seat.
A homemaker whose only political experience was lunching with other Senate wives, Caraway was given a back-row seat and forced to use the public restroom. She took her knitting onto the Senate floor, observed upon first entering the chamber that the windows needed washing, and never made a speech. "I haven't the heart to take a minute away from the men," she said. "The poor dears love it so."
But some historians say "Silent Hattie," whose portrait was unveiled in the Capitol last year, was active behind the scenes and took care of her constituents.
"From our perspective, we would certainly wish that she had been more outspoken," Blair said. "But it's rather unfair of us to impose our expectations looking back at a woman who faced some really daunting obstacles."
Counting Caraway, seven of history's 26 female senators were congressional widows, including Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine), who filled her husband's House seat when he died in 1940, moved to the upper chamber nine years later and stayed until 1972, when she finally lost an election. Smith was her husband Clyde's secretary, drove his car on the campaign trail and called herself "a living symbol of nepotism."

The following text is excerpted from a discussion in progress on the Aikido Journal Forums:
"I think it should be mentioned that the term used would differ depending on whether the person was being addressed directly.
For example, if I were addressing the Second Doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba, I would always call him 'Sensei.' However, if I were referring to him in the third person I would use Doshu.
I would therefore think that most people would have called O-Sensei simply 'Sensei' when addressing him directly and 'O-Sensei' or 'Kaiso' when referring to him in the third position."

IT SEEMED like a good idea until I saw the electrodes. Dr Luana Colloca's white coat offered scant reassurance. "Do you mind receiving a series of electric shocks?" she asked.
I could hardly say no - after all, this was why I was here. Colloca's colleague, Fabrizio Benedetti of the University of Turin in Italy, had invited me to come and experience their placebo research first hand. Colloca strapped an electrode to my forearm and sat me in a reclining chair in front of a computer screen. "Try to relax," she said.
First, we established my pain scale by determining the mildest current I could feel, and the maximum amount I could bear. Then Colloca told me that, before I got another shock, a red or a green light would appear on the computer screen.
A green light meant I would receive a mild shock. A red light meant the ...

I was visiting Tested and found some very good information on the new Nintendo console called the Wii U.
First, I watched this video of Will and Norm at E3 which really did a great job of showing off the new controller for the Wii U.
I then listened to some of Tested's podcast. This is Only a Test. I was more interested in the discussion about the Wii U. If you skip ahead to 2:20, you'll find this discussion. They go on to talk about the new handheld from Sony called the Vita if you're interested in that.
I really trust Will and Norm when it comes to tech stuff and what they had to say about the Wii U was very telling. They did enjoy the controller and see much potential in it, but Norm mentioned that when talking to some of the devs, it seemed the Wii U will either be on par with or maybe a little less powerful than the Xbox 360. Will goes on to say that the Wii U will be using 5 year old tech when it's released.
Of course, this could change as Will and Norm were speculating on what they saw and what was said to them. This is the first time I've heard anyone really talk about the Wii U console in some detail. I had read reports that it will be much more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but it seems that this is not true. What does it all mean? I don't know, nothing for me as I like Nintendo products and will probably buy it next year the day it's released. As for people that already have an Xbox 360 and or a PS3, this could become a deal breaker unless they want to play Nintendo first party software. Either way, I found the discussion very informative.
I thought everyone might be interested in hearing some tech guys talk about the Wii U console and its new controller. I wasn't sure how many people on Giant Bomb visit Tested.

12:35 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto, and Thomas Mulcair has just met the NDP caucus for the first time as new leader.
Asked what he planned to do when the Conservatives begin the attack ads against him, Mulcair suggested "the Canadian people are tired of these secondary school tactics."
He predicts they'll be open to a more serious politics, absent the usual shenanigans.
Mulcair seemed to go out of his way to be calm and distinguished at his news conference, as if to prove he's not the hot head his critics accuse him of being.
Mulcair says job one is to continue to reach out to Canadians, particularly those who didn't vote in the last election, with a modern, more competent New Democratic Party.
Will a Mulcair-led NDP change the party's traditional economic policy positions? Yes, Mulcair says. The party "constantly adapts."
For example, he says he won't engage in kneejerk criticism of the oil sands (which he didn't call the "tar sands.")
Mulcair says he's most proud of the fact that the NDP jumped from 1,600 to 15,000 members in the province of Quebec, in the leadup to the leadership convention.
Mulcair had nothing but praise for his chief rival, Brian Topp, whom he said did "an extraordinary job."
Mulcair and Libby Davies were both co-deputy leaders under Nycole Turmel. Mulcair now says Davies will remain deputy leader for now. Bigger changes in personnel will await the fall sitting.
And with that, he was off...

A statue has been erected at Brook Gate in Park Lane to honour the animals that have served and died with British and Allied forces.
Unveiled by Princess Anne the memorial sculpture consists of two mules a horse and a dog, and whilst recognising all animals that have fought in war, it pays special tribute to 60 that got the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.
The accomplishments of these animals reads like a pitch meeting at Disney for their next animated feature, as they include "Rob, a para-dog who made more than 20 parachute drops while serving with the SAS on top-secret missions in Africa and Italy" and "Mary of Exeter, a pigeon, which flew back with her neck and right breast ripped open, savaged by hawks kept by the Germans at Calais"
We can hear it now:
– "It's like Watership Down meets Guns of Navarone, Meg Ryan voices a plucky under-dog pigeon entrusted with flying an enigma code breaking machine back to the States, but she gets attacked by Nazi hawks, Sam an eagle, voiced by Will Smith comes to her rescue, gets the code machine back to the President so Mel Gibsons platoon of attack dogs can storm Hitlers secret bunker, and end the war."
"Doesn't an enigma machine weigh about 100 times more than a pigeon and didn't the British capture it?"
– "Where the hell are you from Working Title? Get out of my office!">
Londonist would also like to point out that it's not only war that has claimed the lives of many brave animals but space exploration is also built on the corpses of many fearless primates.
"The very first primates ever fired to an altitude near space were the monkeys Albert 1 and Albert 2. They died in 1949 in the nose cones of captured German V-2 rockets during U.S. launch tests."
Also in the area of science animals have made many great contributions, with one of the most famous being Pavlov's Dog in the formulation of the theory of conditoned reflexes.
Not a lot is known about what eventually happened to the dog, but legend has it that after Pavlov rang the bell without feeding him one too many times, and then added insult injury by pulling the old "pretending to throw a stick" routine, the dog went for his throat and had to be put down.

Omega-3 Fish Oil, Molecularly Distilled, Enteric Coated
The Natural Fish Oil Concentrate used in this softgel is manufactured under strict quality control standards. It is tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants (i.e. mercury, heavy metals, PCB's, dioxins, and other contaminants). Those who experience nausea or reflux from other fish oils should find this enteric coated, odor controlled softgel easier to tolerate. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.*

Throw out the rule book and encourage some flexibility in the office. Shutterstock
Following some guiding principles instead has helped keep our team from getting burned:
What we've been able to accomplish is purely because of our incredible team. Find people who love what you're doing and are willing to work hard to help. It all starts with hiring people who are skilled enough to produce results and add to the excellence of our culture.
Once your team is in place, let them know where you're all trying to go. Write it in big letters across your whiteboard or at least your desk, so that people will know what they should do, even if you're not there. If you have a team you can trust, let them do their thing.
One way we've done this is to forgo traditional office hours, which has allowed us to work when we work best. We regularly have team members leaving the office at 3 a.m. and others coming in at 6 a.m.. We have people leaving at 2 p.m. when they can't focus, and coming in on weekends when they just can't wait to get something done. Ultimately, we all put in over 50 hours a week—and we all avoid rush hour, every day.
Good rules have to work under pressure, in the heat of the moment. A sense of urgency helps everyone to realize what's important and what's not. You won't know until you actually try, so be willing to experiment and adjust. Don't allow expectations or rules to become so entrenched that people stop asking why they originally were put in place.
My point is that even the best guidelines won't work for everyone in all situations, so it would be disingenuous for me to suggest that "The LK Way" will work for you and your company. Keep experimenting, keep looking for a better way, and if your principal takes away your recess … well, you might just learn something from it.

President Obama issued waivers allowing the transfer of funds to the Palestinian Authority and extending the the stay of the PLO office in Washington.
Obama's waivers, issued late Wednesday, set aside laws dating back to the 1980s banning a Palestine Liberation Organization presence in the United States, and more recent laws requiring strict reporting requirements for any funds transfer to the Palestinian Authority.
Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, in the final years of his presidency, raised funding for the Palestinians from occasional spurts of $20 million to $400 million annually.
Obama has budgeted $500 million in assistance for the Palestinians; much of this is directed to nonprofit groups, but about half of it goes directly to the Palestinian Authority.
As his predecessors have done, Obama cited national security concerns in announcing both waivers. The Obama administration is pressing forward with Palestinian-Israeli talks, in part as a means toward containing Iran and radical groups in the region.
The PLO office waiver must be renewed every six months.

Spacer Bead Inscribed for King Aramatelqo
Throughout Egyptian history, Kush was fabled for its gold and other resources. Despite the small size of this necklace spacer, it demonstrates well the master craftsmanship of Kushite artisans. Each side has seven holes, through which as many strands of a necklace were threaded to prevent them from tangling. The owner may have been the Kushite king Aramatelqo or one of his courtiers. Aramatelqo was one of the Kushite kings who never ruled Egypt and yet adopted much of Egyptian culture. The inscription is in hieroglyphs; Aramatelqo's names are in cartouches, and the grammar and the phraseology are completely Egyptian. On one side, the inscription reads, "Son of Re, the lord of diadems, Aramatelqo, living forever, beloved of Hathor, lady of Heliopolis, mistress of the gods, given/giver of life." The text on the other side reads, "The king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Wadjkare, living forever, beloved of Re-Horakhty, the great god, the lord of heaven, given/giver of life forever. "

Ethernet and Network Evolution
Figure 1. Ethernet: Technology of Choice for Mobile Backhaul
Figure 2. Technology Drivers for the "Zetabyte" Era
Note: A distinction must be made between "time" and "frequency" synchronization. Highly accurate time synchronization requires frequency synchronization (syntonization), but the opposite is not true. In this paper "timing" refers to frequency synchronization only-"time" synchronization is referred to explicitly.
Need for Frequency Distribution
Figure 3. Why Is Frequency Distribution Required and Where?
Note: SyncE is a standard for distribution of frequency over Ethernet links. Other standards [IEEE Std. 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), IETF Network Time Protocol (NTP), etc.] have been and are being developed or enhanced for high-quality time distribution and Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) requirements.
Synchronous Ethernet
Synchronization Applications
Table 1. Synchronization Applications
SyncE Standards
• ITU-T G.8261: Timing and synchronization aspects in packet network
• ITU-T G.8262: Timing characteristics of Synchronous Ethernet equipment slave clock
• ITU-T G.8264: Distribution of timing through packet networks
• ITU-T G.781: Synchronization layer functions
Note: To maintain the timing chain in SONET/SDH, operators often use SSM. Information provided by SSM Quality Levels (SSM-QL) helps a node derive timing from the most reliable source and prevent timing loops. Because Ethernet networks are not required to be synchronous on all links or in all locations, a specific channel, the ESMC channel defined in G.8264, provides this service. ESMC is composed of the standard Ethernet header for an organization-specific slow protocol, the ITU-T OUI; a specific ITU-T subtype; an ESMC-specific header; a flag field; and a type, length, value (TLV) structure -- the use of flags and TLVs aimed at improving the management of Synchronous Ethernet links and the associated timing change.
• Physical layer (Layer 1):SONET/SDH, Synchronous Ethernet, G.SHDSL, and Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON)
• Radio or satellite navigation systems: Global Positioning System (GPS), Global Navigations Satellite System (GLONASS), Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), Long Range Aid to Navigation (LORAN), and Galileo
• Packet-based (Layer 2 and Layer 3) distribution: Adaptive Clock Recovery methods using IEEE 1588-2008 PTP, IETF NTP, Circuit Emulation Services (CES) encapsulation or possible future ngTP from ITU-T or IETF
Table 2. Possible Central Office Synchronization Solutions
Note: Not an exhaustive list; green color represents "existing" solutions, ITFS: Integrated Time and Frequency System
• Equipment software and hardware (some upgrades may be necessary)
• Network radius (from reference source or sources to consumer)
• Network links (type, speed, number, etc.)
• Traffic behavior (for example, what services does the network support?)
• Scalability (for example, traffic generated by packet-based solution, number of sessions per server, etc.)
• Reliability and redundancy (solution should be at least as robust as the strongest network elements)
• Security (any packet-based solutions are subject to attacks)
• Management (network synchronization quality evaluation, ease of measurement, etc.)
• Transition, coexistence, backward compatibility (for example, what solution would ease network evolution?)
• Availability of tools and metrics (to characterize, measure, and test timing distribution)
• Effect on network behavior: Packet delay variations [PDV], performance guarantees, and compatibility concerns etc.
• Scalability: Increased protocol traffic and timing packet generation and distribution etc.
• Efficiency: Packet rate vs. timing quality, payload size vs. packet-rate trade-off, etc.
• Need for specialize network design: Dependence of deployment design on server, master, client, slave, network traffic, protocol configuration, and network efficiency-factors that are obviously different from deployment to deployment etc.
• Lack of quantifiable data: Some protocols require specialized hardware for time-stamping as a means of improving performance but there is little proof that this helps in telecom environment, and there are concerns over multi-hop performance and deployment as well.
• Variation of results due to slave implementation (e.g. timing recovery algorithm used, oscillator used etc.)

Nitroglycerine Spray For Diabetic Neuropathy
Glyceryl-Trinitrate Spray Effective for Painful Diabetic Neuropathy

By C. Vidyashankar, MD
CHENNAI, India (Reuters Health) Jun 29 - While it's normally used as a vasodilator in angina pectoris, glyceryl-trinitrate produces a significant improvement in pain associated with diabetic neuropathy, researchers from India report.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial, Dr. R.P. Agrawal and colleagues from the S. P. Medical College, Bikaner in western India, evaluated the efficacy of topical glyceryl-trinitrate spray in 48 patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
Twenty-four patients in the study group used glyceryl-trinitrate spray topically on their legs at bedtime for four weeks, while the other 24 used a placebo spray. After a wash-out period of 2 weeks, the participants switched to the opposite arm for a further for 4 weeks. The severity of pain was assessed using the McGill pain questionnaire, visual analogue score, present pain intensity score and 11-point Lickert scale.
On completion of the trial, all the pain scores were significantly lower while the patients were receiving glyceryl-trinitrate spray rather than the placebo, Dr. Agrawal and colleagues report in the August 2006 issue of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice.
The analgesic effects persisted till the next application and improved sleep satisfaction, the researchers add.
Glyceryl-trinitrate was well tolerated and only one patient was withdrawn from the study because of adverse effects.
Vasodilation due to nitric oxide, a derivative of glyceryl-trinitrate, may explain its analgesic effects, while stimulation of angiogenesis in the blood vessels supplying the nerves could explain the temporal increase in the analgesic effects with continued usage, Dr. Agrawal's team suggests.


text: Students are required to select a departmental advisor when they declare a major, a process they initiate and faculty advisors confirm over Cascade Web. If a student chooses two majors, that student is required to have two major advisors, though the first major advisor will be the advisor of record (and dispenser of advising codes at registration). Major advising is intended not only to help students to navigate major requirements in a reasoned and appropriate way, but also to take advantage of associated opportunities (e.g., internships, summer research, graduate school options) that are related to their disciplines. Almost half of Puget Sound students go on to graduate or professional school within five years of graduation, so faculty support in this area is important. Major advisors help students to understand what constitutes a solid grounding in their disciplines, and toward the end of their academic careers to be sure that they have met all of their degree requirements. Online Degree Progress Reports (DPR) are available for students and faculty alike to monitor completion of degree requirements, and to "preview" other possible majors and minors. DPR makes oversight of student progress very much easier for advisors.

This is a very nice scent, quite gourmand but not cloying and there is an air of sophistication in this fragrance. I really like the combination of soft vanilla, stawberry and almond with a very light musk on the background. However, I used this just very lightly as it is quite strong on the opening and it might induced a headache. The bottle is simple yet elegant which is a plus but i'm not a fan of the price. Anyway, I am just glad this works well on my skin chemistry unlike the red and blue butterfly edts of which both smells like masculine scent on me.

I've always loved Hanae Mori Butterfly. I had the Red Butterfly for years but I think now it's gone bad. While browsing at Nordstrom's perfume counter, I found the brand new limited edition Yellow Butterfly or the Hanae Mori Butterly Eau Fraiche Limited Addition.
Yum! Very similar to the Red Butterfly but with some subtle changes. There's the addition of tangerine top note and overall more fruity and light impression. Lovely for the summer.
However, the staying power is crap. I would love to have this fragrance more concentrated so it could last beyond half an hour. Do I have to take a bath in it to make it stay? If it had staying power, I'd definitely give it a 5.

Phew, this is bad! You can't buy it in NZ so I ordered it online based on reviews. I like Addict, Lolita Lempicka, Fantasy, Miss Dior Cherie etc but this... it reminds me of some perfume worn in the 90's. Was it Exclamation? Was it Vanilla Fields? I do not know, but this smells so unappealing to me. The packaging is ok, but I don't like the frosted sides of the bottle.

I was in the mood for something new and had a Sephora giftcard in hand so off I went. I have very strange skin - it tends to turn most florals very sharp, so I don't pick up florals very often (Michael is the only exception). I gravitate towards florientals, which tend to help out with the sharpness. Given that information my Sephora assistant brought me this to try. I had Prada Tendre on one arm, purchased Narciso Rodriguez for Her and had this on the other. Driving in the car (whew!) I kept getting whiffs of the most beautiful smell. Really, just amazing. When I smelled the Prada arm, I loved the way it smelled but it wasn't the whiff I was getting - that turned out to be Hanae Mori and it was such a soft, sweet smell that I eventually broke down and bought it. (buy the EDP - it lasts way longer and stays truer than the EDT)
This is NOT my typical kind of scent - in fact I didn't want to like this as much as I do. It seems like this is such a popular perfume. The lady at Sephora even said that she is amazed by the loyal following. But I find that it is light, sweet and warm. I can see how this is not right for a lot of people, but this has suckered me in and has become my absolute favorite for daily wear. Give it a whiff and see - you might be surprised.

Very sweet, fruity floriental (I definitely smell lychee, almond and vanilla), but lacking any depth or complexity. It's nice, but I found it to be quite bland and uninteresting. I don't know why you'd shell out the cash for this when Victoria's Secret makes fragrances that are VERY similar for half the cost.

I purchased this after all of the chatter on the boards, without even smelling it. I love the smell of almond so I figured I would love this. Unfortunately when I wear this people think I am wearing vanilla (must be the combination within the fragrance). Although I like it I won't be purchasing it again.

This smells like some sort of confection. Its very sweet and very vanilla smelling, even though there is no vanilla in the notes. This actually lasts on me, and is quite strong innitially. I sprayed twice and it lasted all day, so this isn't one to bath in.
I have to be in the mood for this, but when I am I find it comforting and delicious. I don't think this would work on a hot day, I can see it getting cloying and sickeningly sweet. I would buy again eventually, but probably wont have too. I'll never make it through the bottle.

I got several samples of this at Sephora and like it a lot. Like the previous reviewer mentioned it's a very pretty scent. Warm and sweet with hints of vanilla smelling undertones. I tried both the EDP and EDT in the store and prefer the EDP because it smells a bit richer and warmer. I like it so far and may purchase a full bottle.

This review is for the Butterfly EDP. It's every bit as yummy and sexy as the lighter EDT, but it lasts longer. This is the only fragrance I've ever worn for more than a year; I've gotten tired of absolutely everything else. Lovely!

Yuck. Smells like a combination of Vanilla Fields and Dial antibacterial hand soap (the orange-coloured one).
Yes, a strange description. Why does it remind me of this? 'Cos I used to wear Vanilla Fields and a young'un, and my mom used this hand soap in our bathroom.
Now, Vanilla Fields gags me.
Didn't like this at all. It smells a bit cheap. I did give it two lippies, though, 'cos even though I think it smells like rubbish, the scent lasted a very, very long time. I washed and could still smell it.
Thankfully, this was merely a sample, and I didn't purchase it. I chose the sample from Sephora, 'cos the description made it sound nice! Unfortunately, this was not the case for me.

El-Fasher — Following the abduction of 15 employees of a Chinese company in North Darfur, the state's governor announced plans to increase the security of businesses operating in the area.
Osman Kibir said four different stakeholders would be in charge of protecting the Western Salvation Road section of Umm Kadada in Kuma locality, near El-Fasher.
The stakeholders include the Central Reserve Forces (known as Abu Tira), which according to Kibir will provide direct security to the companies operating on the road.
He noted these forces would be supported by troops of other localities through security committees, forming the second axis. The governor added that all protection resources would be available to the Abu Tira.
The third group includes a belt of native administrators and community security committees.
Kibir said the fourth group would comprise parties stationed in different locations and that would mediate with other forces.
Chinese companies operating on the Umm Kadada - El-Fasher road confirmed their projects will be ready by the end of this year.
The governor announced he will hold a meeting in El-Fasher on Thursday between the Chinese companies and state authorities to coordinate and assign the road security operations.
An unidentified armed group kidnapped 15 employees of a poly Chinese company for bridges and roads working on the Western Salvation Road on 12 January, Radio Dabanga reported.
Kuma locality's commissioner had announced that four of the kidnapped employees were Chinese nationals and the other 11 were Sudanese.
Four days later the Chinese workers were released and handed over to UNAMID forces.
The commissioner said the Sudanese remained in custody and that three suspects had been arrested in connection with the abduction.

(Source: Sen. DeMint ) -Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) and 16 other Republican senators wrote to U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner asking him to explain his recent claims that America will default on our debt payments after August 2, while the Congressional Research Service has said default could be delayed by prioritizing federal spending. Additionally, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated tax revenue to be $2.23 trillion for this fiscal year, while net interest payments on the national debt amount to $213 billion.
The letter is signed by U.S. Senators Richard Burr (R-North Carolina), Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi), DeMint, Orin Hatch (R-Utah), Mike Johanns (R-Nebraska), Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), John Thune (R-South Dakota), Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania), David Vitter (R-Louisiana), Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi). It reads in part:
"At issue is the stubborn fact that ultimate responsibility to use available Treasury funds to honor the debt obligations of the United States falls on you as Secretary of the Treasury. We believe it is irresponsible and harmful for you to sow the seeds of doubt in the market regarding the full faith and credit of the United States and ask that you set the record straight – that you will use all available Treasury funds necessary to prevent default while Congress addresses the looming debt crisis."
Senator DeMint commented on the letter, saying, "It's time for President Obama and Secretary Geithner to level with the American people and admit that we don't have to default if the debt limit is not raised this summer. Even former President Bill Clinton today said a brief default would not be calamitous, then said that he only meant Congress didn't need to raise the debt ceiling right away. And today there is a report from CNBC that the CRS has clearly told members of Congress that hitting the debt limit will not precipitate a default on our debt.
"Every day, the facts punch more holes in the Obama administration's story. It's very clear: hitting the debt ceiling will not cause immediate default – only Geithner and Obama's choice to stop debt payments and refusal to cut other spending will. The letter we sent to Secretary Geithner today asks him for the clarity that his false and fevered rhetoric have intentionally obscured," said Senator DeMint.
The full text of the letter is below:
The Honorable Timothy Geithner
Secretary of the Treasury
Washington, DC 20229
Dear Mr. Secretary,
In light of your recent public comments conflating a decision not to raise the federal debt ceiling with outright default on the United States' debt obligations, we write seeking clarity about the administration's position. At issue is the stubborn fact that ultimate responsibility to use available Treasury funds to honor the debt obligations of the United States falls on you as Secretary of the Treasury. We believe it is irresponsible and harmful for you to sow the seeds of doubt in the market regarding the full faith and credit of the United States and ask that you set the record straight – that you will use all available Treasury funds necessary to prevent default while Congress addresses the looming debt crisis.
As you know, capping the federal debt at $14.29 trillion would not, in and of itself, lead to default. The Treasury takes in more than enough money from taxpayers to cover interest payments on the national debt. According to the Congressional Budget Office, tax revenue is estimated to be $2.23 trillion in Fiscal Year 2011 while net interest payments will only amount to $213 billion. Even if the debt ceiling remains where it is, there will be more than enough money in the Treasury to make the government's debt payments, thereby avoiding default.
And yet, your recent public statements suggest you believe the opposite. On January 6, you wrote to Majority Leader Harry Reid that, "Failure to raise the limit would precipitate a default by the United States." Senator Patrick Toomey corrected this misstatement and introduced legislation, the Full Faith and Credit Act, which would statutorily guarantee prioritized payment of our debt obligations in the event of reaching the debt ceiling.
This proposal, which would protect the United States from default, you oppose.
In your February 3 letter to Sen. Toomey, you compare Sen. Toomey's proposal to an analogous decision by an average citizen:
"A homeowner could decide to 'prioritize' and continue paying monthly mortgage payments, while opting to cease paying other obligations, such as car payments, insurance premiums, student loan and credit card payments, utilities, and so forth. Although the mortgage would be paid, the damage to that homeowner's creditworthiness would be severe."
But of course, making necessary payments on debts, like a home mortgage, a credit card, a car, or a student loan, is different from other personal spending. The consequences of missing those payments are truly dire – default, bankruptcy, repossession, and eviction. But they are not at all the same thing as belt-tightening and prioritizing when times are tight. In the same way, cutting spending programs, reducing the federal workforce, and prioritizing payments to vendors and contractors is not the same thing as sovereign default.
The Treasury Department suggests that efforts to prioritize debt payments would bring about "catastrophic economic consequences." Yet, this argument ignores the historical record. As you are well aware, the Treasury had to manage the nation's finances in the past when the debt ceiling was reached. In 1995-1996, for example, the Department prioritized certain payments – including debt service. During this period, hundreds of thousands of federal employees were furloughed and many programs were temporarily suspended as a result of the two government shutdowns that occurred. And yet, this prioritization did not result in default on our publicly held debt nor did it cause the "catastrophic economic consequences" the administration predicts.
Unfortunately, Washington has shown time and again that it is perfectly content to spend money on whatever suits its whims. That is why the debt limit exists in the first place – to restrict the government's profligate spending and borrowing impulses and so protect the citizens responsible for paying it all back.
We believe the time has come to employ this particular budget enforcement mechanism to finally force Congress to address the looming fiscal crisis, cut spending, reform entitlements, implement spending caps, and pass a balanced budget constitutional amendment before considering any increase in the federal debt ceiling. These are the contours of the debate before the American people this spring and summer.
In the event of reaching the debt limit in the course of that debate, the decision of whether to use available Treasury funds to honor the United States' debt obligations – and prevent the catastrophe of default – would ultimately fall to you. Recent comments conflating debt service with other spending notwithstanding, the markets, the courts, and the American people know differently.
And so we write today asking for your assurance that, as Treasury Secretary, you will not continue to encourage uncertainty as to whether or not the U.S. government will default on its publicly held debt by failing to use the Treasury's sufficient funds to make necessary payments on the United States' debt obligations. Such uncertainty could cause the markets to doubt the full faith and credit of the United States.

Teen Mom
Kailyn Lowry Says She Isn't Taking Isaac Away From Baby Daddy Jo Rivera!
Kailyn Lowry is madly in love with her new husband, Javi Marroquin, but their relationship isn't without it's fair share of drama. Javi just received his first station with the Air Force, which means he and Kailyn are going to be moving soon with Kailyn's son, Isaac! Sounds fabulous, but um … what about Kailyn's baby daddy, Jo Rivera?
Jo has made it very clear that he has no intention of letting Isaac go without a fight, but it looks like he and Kailyn have been able to work out their custody agreement amicably.
"Haven't taken Isaac away from his father thus far," Kailyn tweeted on May 6. "So things DO work out. #TeenMom2."
As far as we know, Kailyn and Javi have already found a new home near Javi's station, and we're thinking they might not be moving too far from Pennsylvania. In fact, we have a sneaking suspicion that this dynamic duo are heading to New Jersey — where Jo currently lives! Not only does The Garden State have an Air Force base, Kailyn recently started a long-term job at American Family Dental Care in Allentown, which is just a hop, skip and a jump (aka 1.5 hours) from McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey!
Unless Kailyn plans on quitting her new job just weeks after starting it, this gal is clearly in commuting distance from Javi's station. Do you think they're moving to New Jersey? Hit the comments!

Spent the days zipping 2 trees that came down and a bunch of branches. Never lost power or cable. The tail wind after the storm was worse than when it was approaching. Basically woke up Sunday morn with minimal evidence of a storm then the backside winds hit and shredded everything.
Lots of flooding in teh state, more than I have ever scene and it hasn't started to recede as yet, 36 hours after the last drop fell.
Life's not the breaths you take, the breathing in and out that gets you through the day ain't what it's all about. It's the moments that take your breath away.
I just watched all the videos of Upstate NY & Vermont getting flooding that was ridiculous. Bridges & roads being washed away. I see the Delaware near Philly is now rising.
Glad to hear everyone is ok. Anyone hear from Dusty??? NC got hit pretty hard.
