Grey's Anatomy
Why Jackson Avery Is the New (Better) Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy
It's official: Jackson (Jesse Williams) hearts Lexie (Chyler Leigh) in a big way, and he told her so on last week's Grey's Anatomy. Our bet is that when Lexie woke up that morning, she never knew that someone would declare himself her next soul mate by the day's end. (Kinda makes us wonder who's gonna lay bare their love for us. Anyone?)
We know that there are thousands if not millions of shippers rooting for Mark (Eric Dane) and Lexie to reunite for the umpteenth time, and we can understand. But let's be real: those two have been on and off again more times than Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) circa Seasons 1 through 4. It's time for Lexie to start anew, and Jackson seems like the perfect reason for her to give love a chance (again). Why? Because he's the anti-Mark.
There are similarities, certainly. Herculean physique — check. Piercing eyes — check. Perma-scruff — check. But cocky demeanor? No. Womanizing streak? No. Questionable morals? No... unless you count that whole shirtless-Teddy-flirting debacle. You see, folks, Jackson Avery is pretty unconcerned with his handsomeness, and when he's not, he's using his hotness powers for good... and for a little self-promotion on the side. Heck, he didn't even think about his cheekbones until Mark (of all people) complimented him on 'em. Jackson Avery is just a down-to-earth guy, a supportive friend, and a fine soul mate prospect. We approve, Lexie.

Ever wanted a Monroe piercing? Ever wondered how painful it could be? Ever thought on how it is done? Well to give you an idea, this article is mainly about micro dermal piercing and one example is the Monroe piercing. Just the same as any other piercings, micro dermal piercing is a painful procedure. It involves cartilages and alteration in skin integrity but you do not need to worry about the pain that piercings will cause you because of the break through experiment of this certain thing called "numbing cream". It helps people go through their painful skin procedures without feeling the pain. It makes procedures easier and faster. Here is the Top 5 Reasons Why you should Use Numbing Cream in Micro Dermal Piercing:
Pain Alleviation
One big factor that affects in the decision making as to going on with the piercing or any type of procedures or not is the pain that it will cause. Who would like to experience pain right? Normally, we avoid pain. We don't like the tingling sensations and all that so if there is an easy way to get through it then we will surely grab it. That is what numbing cream offers. It offers numbness that could help you go through the procedure the easier and painless way.
Fast and Easy
Since the major issue had been answered which is pain, it is given that the procedure is going to be easily done. No more tears, no more screaming or even grimacing is going to happen with the help of the numbing cream. Why settle for something painful when you can actually use something that could definitely help you? The hand that this numbing cream offers is the faster and the easier way to conquer fear and get things done. Take into consideration all of the key points given and you're on your way to getting what you want. Numbing your skin will be very much helpful in attaining your dream piercing. It's nice to think that everything is really possible nowadays. Everything has been made possible, easy and faster. It is normal to be anxious about having some procedures done in your body. Foreign bodies being implanted, needles and all that stuff but you don't have to worry anymore. You need to think about the pain with just a little help.
Safe and effective
It has been proven safe and effective for different purposes. It is said that you can only feel the movement of the needle or the metal penetrating your skin but definitely it is no longer painful as with the plain procedure without the help of numbing cream. There are a lot of great reviews about every product available. Those articles would also be very helpful in choosing the great product that perfectly suits you. You need to be extra careful though because what you are trying to purchase is something that involves your body. Thinking about getting things done the easier way is not and will never be wrong but be sure to think things over and get the right product that will surely help you get into your endeavors. Good news is that products available in the market could be easily checked for legitimacy, safety and effectiveness. You would not want to purchase something that would put yourself to risk of some sort. Better check the label and choose the right product. Do not be blinded by the cheap price as well. Choose the product which is worth what you are paying and something that could be very useful to whatever you would want it to use. Product safety guide and product reviews would be the most powerful tool that you could ever see to make sure you're getting what you want and what you need.

Most writers deserving of a substantial profile in The Literary Encyclopedia have a significant oeuvre. Robert Tressell wrote only one novel, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (1914; 1918; 1955), and it was published and celebrated posthumously. His bereaved daughter, Kathleen, sold it to the publisher, Grant Richards, for a "mess of pottage": £25. This was a meagre sum given the book's phenomenal success: the 1955 edition has never been out of print. Aptly, the book points out the irony of the Poor's generosity: "ragged trousered philanthropists" give away their labour and its products for a "mess of pottage". The text's solution is to "fill the House of …

The International Year of Water Cooperation:
Restore Our Water International aims to make a global issue local

Restore Our Water International (ROWI) is a non-profit organization concerned with the unfolding crisis of rapidly declining water levels in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence basin. Mary Muter, Sierra Club's Great Lakes Section Chair and ROWI Spokesperson, is extremely knowledgeable about Great Lakes issues and has worked proactively with a broad coalition of organizations and individuals to address environmental impacts....

Great Lakes organizations alarmed with IJC's 'advice'
Great Lakes organizations alarmed with the International Joint Commission's "Adaptive Management" advice instead of dealing with a significant cause of the record-setting low water levels on Lakes Michigan/Huron/Georgian Bay
TORONTO, ON – February 4, 2013 - As water levels in Lakes Michigan, Huron and Georgian Bay set new monthly record lows, the International Joint Commission (IJC) has recently sent signals that it will ignore the public's concern and request for a viable solution, announcing instead a 'Great Lakes Regional Adaptive Management Plan'.

The time to act to restore our water level is now
Some of the 600 people attending Monday's night's hearing. DOUGLAS GLYNN The Free Press
The International Joint Commission (IJC) was told Monday that a "do nothing" approach to restore the water levels of Lakes Michigan-Huron and Georgian Bay is unacceptable.
Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton joined Great Lakes advocate Mary Muter of the Sierra Club and scores of North Simcoe residents in calling on the IJC to act.
The commission is an independent binational body established by the United States and Canada under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909.... Read more »

A Pan-Canadian Water Strategy
The need for a pan-Canadian water strategy in Canada has become extremely urgent. Across the nation, Canadians are recognizing that limits to this seemingly infinite resource exist. The evidence of these intense pressures is manifesting in a visibly changing climate, the degradation of our environment, health problems in Canadian communities, and the tensions surrounding the use of boundary waters with our neighbours to the south.

If I'm still up at this time, it means I've found plenty to like about a game. Even though I think the single-player campaign was a little stunted, the multiplayer's got more than enough to keep a person chained to their couch/gaming chair/cushion/worn spot on the floor.
As I write this, I'm attempting to move up in my multiplayer ranking, shooting at the enemy and mostly failing. I've got little or no lag in a 32-player game, and I'm really enjoying how mission types are handled. While most games stop and reload after a task is completed, Killzone 2 continuously rattles off one mission after another on the same map, which, to me, speaks to the versatility of the game's levels. Of course, you've got the option to only play one mission on a map, but I like the commitment the "series" approach demands from the players.
OK, I just took a shotgun blast to the face. I can't end the night like that. The next time I talk about this game, it'll be in a full review.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsEvents
The 45th Anniversary Celebration of the Mustang - The Big Bash In Birmingham
The Mustang World Celebrates 45 Years Of Pride, Passion, And Our Beloved Pony.
Step By StepView Photo Gallery
Ford Motor Company came out in grand style for the 45th; the incredible exhibit of cars was an impressive display of the accomplishments Ford Racing has had with the Mustang. Among the FR500Ss on hand, Ford Racing also showed the first R-series Cobras to roll off the assembly line from 1993, 1995, and 2000. Ford also displayed such iconic Mustangs as the Super Stallion, the new Cobra Jet, and many road-racing Mustangs of the late '80s and early '90s.
In addition to Ford's presence, Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) also had an impressive display of new parts, engines, and accessories available for the Mustang. FRPP even had two work bays set up so you could have your new parts installed at the show. NMRA Real Street racer Tim Matherly was on hand, turning wrenches for Gene Evans Ford, which coordinated the installs.
Speaking of hot parts, the manufacturers' midway left nothing to be desired. Three hundred and fifty companies and vendors came out to offer products and services to show-goers. From hard-to-find vintage parts to the latest in superchargers and fuel systems, there truly was something for everyone.
Over the course of the celebration, many distinguished guests walked the grounds at BMP. Ford Motor Company CEO Alan Mulally walked much of the car show before meeting with the teams in the Mustang Challenge pits. He spoke at the opening ceremonies and even turned a few laps in an '09 Shelby GT500 convertible. Brian Wolfe, director of Ford Racing, also took in the sights and sounds of the racetrack as Vaughn Gittin Jr. showed him the turns in his '10 Formula Drift Mustang. Gittin Jr. was one of two Formula D drivers at the show promoting the series and opening people's eyes to the world of drift racing. (Your author was lucky enough to grab a ride with Gittin Jr. for two laps around the track at BMP. Visit www.musclemustangfastfords.com for some web-exclusive content.) Back in the manufacturers' midway, Steve Saleen met fans and signed autographs after unveiling the first sketches of his SMS '10 Mustang.
The 45th Anniversary Celebration of the Mustang was truly an incredible experience. Incredible cars, phenomenal racing action, and everything the aftermarket has to offer made for a great weekend. If you weren't lucky enough to make it out, don't miss the 50th. We'll see you there!

Last year Symone Jordan, 22, said she looked at her finances and knew she didn't have enough money to finish school at Bowie State University. All the scraping and saving — finding every scholarship and internship she could — would end in her leaving school until she could afford the final year, she said.
And then the Accokeek resident said she got a phone call from the National Institutes of Health.
The post baccalaureate program she applied to — one she didn't think she had a chance to win — was hers for the taking. She said she was one of 19 students selected in the country who will work for the NIH for a year and a summer.
"I had applied to it a year before," Jordan said. "I was super excited. It was definitely perfect."
Her final year was paid for and Jordan graduated on May 19 with a major in biology and minors in psychology and chemistry.
Now Jordan said she is on track to achieve her goals of being a plastics and reconstructive surgeon that helps minority communities suffering from cleft palates and lymphoma diseases.
"I can't change it overnight, and I just can't be this gung-ho doctor that saves all minorities. I know that is outlandish," Jordan said. "But I want to do my part."
Jordan is a first-generation college graduate who exemplifies some of the struggles that college students face. Determined to graduate, Jordan took on student loan debt and pulled together all the resources she could to finish school, but she said she didn't get a mastery of obtaining scholarships until a year or two into school.
Jordan said she hopes her story motivates other students to apply for every scholarship possible.
"Even if you don't think you will get it, apply," Jordan said. "You never know what will happen."
After those financial hurdles, Jordan has made the best of her college career, said Robert Batten, Bowie State University Director of International Students and Jordan's mentor.
Batten said Jordan earned the NIH scholarship and also was one of few Prince George's County students selected as a Historically Black College and Universities All-Star, which is a White House ambassador to fellow students, he said.
Jordan said this program had her talking with other students about the value of the Affordable Care Act and academics.
"She has brought a shine to Bowie State University that I don't think any other student has," Batten said. "Symone far exceeded any expectation I had."
Tracey Jordan, Symone's mother, said she was proud of her daughter's accomplishments. She faced some challenges, both financial and adapting to college life, her mother said, but Symone put in the hard work to become successful.
"She has excelled for the entire time she has been in school," Tracey Jordan said. "No goal is unobtainable for her."

Quicktime 7.6 betaPlease note, this blog has been archived and now lives at www.discretecosine.com
Macrumors says Apple has seeded Quicktime 7.6 to developers. One part of their writeup got me pretty excited - looks like Apple is taking a stab at transcoding muxed mpeg files in Quicktime. After more than a decade of pretending mpeg didn't exist, that's pretty interesting.

Saturday afternoon, the seventh ranked Florida men's basketball team tries to stay on top of the SEC when it travels to take on the reeling Auburn Tigers.
Entering Saturday's contest, the tale of the tape highlights a massive disparity in talent and success this season. The Tigers (9-15, 3-8 SEC) have lost seven of their last eight games, having not won back to back games since the beginning of January.
Florida (20-3, 10-1 SEC) has not lost back to back games during the 2012-2013 campaign and touts a spotless SEC record with the exception of an 80-69 loss to Arkansas. Coming off the disappointing loss, the Gators manhandled Mississippi State and controlled the Kentucky Wildcats from start to finish, notching a 69-52 victory on Tuesday evening.
Defense has been the strong point of the Gators in conference play. A total of 17 teams have been held to under 60 points, ranking Florida fourth in the country in scoring defense with 52.7 points allowed per game.
Efficiency on offense compliments the Gators' stalwart defense. Shooting .500 or better from the field in nine of their last 13 games, the Gators sit seventh in the nation in field goal percentage, shooting over 49 percent from the field. UF trails only Indiana in scoring margin, beating opponents by an average of 21.3 points.
Despite the team's blistering pace, Gator coach Billy Donovan expects a challenge from a hungry Auburn team seeking its first win against a ranked opponent.
Guard Kenny Boynton leads the Gators squad in scoring at 12.9 points per game, sinking 21 of 44 shots behind the arc over the past six road games.
Will Yeguete is recovering from injury and will miss a third straight game. Casey Prather should get more playing time because of the injury and he has scored 12 points in each of the last two games off the bench at forward.
Senior guard Frankie Sullivan leads the Tigers in points per game with 15.5, sharing the role of leader with junior Chris Denson, who averages 12.2 points per game but he's only played in 13 games due to injury and academic suspension. 6'10" 250 pound forward Rob Chubb will match up with Patric Young in the paint, as he leads Auburn in rebounding with 7.3 per contest.
Florida's Erik Murphy says the team needs to focus on containing Chubb.
Auburn leads the all-time series 87-72, but the Gators are 17-4 against the Tigers under the tenure of head coach Billy Donovan.
Coverage of the game begins at 1:10pm on ESPN Radio 850/900 and continues through tipoff at 1:30.

Replying to: Re: WE ALL NEED TO COMPLAIN: HERES HOW by WylieECoyote
Re: WE ALL NEED TO COMPLAIN: HERES HOW
WylieECoyote said:
First off, yes I feel ridiculous for beliving Verizon at their word. All verizon literature states that the phone implements "Bluetooth". "Bluetooth" is "Bluetooth". IT IS A STANDARD. I would not expect to buy a car and find out that it runs on gasoline but in the fine print it says it only uses a nozzle that a specific gas station can provide.
When Verizon made a change to the specification, it is no longer Bluetooth. PERIOD. Why did they make the change? TO BILK THEIR CUSTOMERS BY CHARGING FOR SERVICES THAT THE PHONE WAS ALREADY ABLE TO PROVIDE. THAT my friend is the definition of fraud.
BTW.. it is not up to me to take responsibility for anything. Verizon needs to take responsibility for altering a product in order to cheat customers out of what they paid for.
Did you even *read* any of the pre-release materials? Bluetooth is far too complicated and requires very little to be working for it to be compliant to the Bluetooth spec. Verizon has disabled some of the bluetooth profiles to maximize their profits. They aren't the only folks who are doing this -- they happen to be the most liberal about letting you use your cell phone as a modem among the providers with a good coverage area.
But all of the pre-release materials clearly stated *which* bluetooth profiles would be available -- headsets and dial up networking.
Now, if you can *prove* that Verizon promised OBEX, that's something else. But they've been careful to *not* promise OBEX.
And, sure, some large DC law firm isn't telling you that you are a moron. They will probably either laugh at you behind your back when they realize that there's nothing to build a case around, or, alternatively, be shot down by a bluetooth-cognizant expert witness. Law firms *love* class action lawsuits because they make millions while you get a $2 el cheapo headset and generally contribute to the cost of insurance and doing business in America, so they are not going to be showing you the door right away.
I mean, sure I'm annoyed that the v710 doesn't have the GPS profile and doesn't accept the HUD (keyboard and mice) profile so that I could cary around a bluetooth keyboard to write SMS messages quickly and use it for navigation. It's a missed opportunity, and, in my mind, the complexity of the Bluetooth standard with its variety of profiles, none of which are actually required, is something that could have been avoided with better standard design. Because of this, Bluetooth is not living up to its promise.
I mean, really, your complaints make about as much sense as griping because your USB-equipped printer can't connect directly to your USB-equipped camera and print off of it. Just because *some* Epsons and Cannons can do it in *some* situations doesn't mean that I should file a class-action suit against Epson beceause my particular printer doesn't.
And, really, if you would stop and think about it, you'd realize that if you won a class-action lawsuit against Verizon, the answer would be simple. Verizon would just not offer a phone with *any* Bluetooth functionality. And it would be highly unlikely that Cingular/AT&T would be interested in offering any Bluetooth phones, either. Either that, or they'd figure out how much money, on the average, they weren't making from Pix/Video/Brew/etc. off of you and add that to your bill, month after month, if you wanted to use Bluetooth. For the next few years, until Cingular/AT&T has ubiquitous UMTS coverage in the 800 MHz band, Verizon can do whatever they are legally entitlted to, even if it's not consumer friendly.

By CAROLE DAVIS
May I have the pleasure of introducing each of you to Little Miss Abigail. She is a cute, precious, adorable girl who will never grow up! She is very cute, clever, keen-witted, shrewd and ingenious. She is very attractive, pretty, quaint and just darling. Abigail is very worthy of anyone's passionate attachment, and I love Little Miss Abigail very much!
Just her name, Abigail is extra-special indicating that she is an exceptionally good and fine young lady. Abigail was a character in "The Scornful Lady" by Beaumont and Fletcher. You might say that she possesses what we call, "personality plus!"
Abigail has whimsicality and all of the qualities or state of being very whimsical. She will suddenly decide to do something on a whim, and she is definitely capricious, uncertain and liable to change her mind on a dime. I would say she is fantastic, fanciful, odd and quaint all rolled up into one little girl. She will decide to do something suddenly as she takes a fancy that the something is wild and fun. She dares to go ahead and try the impossible thing in this life, and this makes her capricious, humorous, fanatic and her ideas often seem far-fetched. Maybe she is predictable, or maybe she is unpredictable. I shall let you decide.
Abigail is sassy, imprudent and cheeky, (just look at her cheeks right now. They are so cute!) which makes her very bold, lively and stylish. She loves sassy tunes and loves to skip and dance around all day long! She loves bright, wild colors and wears sassy clothes and hats. She adores wearing bows tied in her tight, curly black hair.
A long time ago, I met and fell head over heels with Little Miss Abigail. The year was 1996, and she just walked into my life one day. Every one of us wishes we would and could be Abigail ... Could we not? Why not right now this very second be Abigail? She is not a clone of another human being, because she is just always herself. She will never grow up. Why grow up anyway? Abigail will stay just as she lives today on her tiny, 8-by-10 piece of cotton canvas. She lives on a tiny easel that sits on our floor of our big 'ole kitchen in our family home. Every time I pass by Abigail, and I glance downward at the floor, she suddenly looks right up at me and winks. She truly does this, and then I smile, giggle and finally laugh out loud. Inside my heart and soul, I whisper back at her and say, "Hey, Abigail you got it going, on girl!"
One early morning I decided to take Abigail for a ride in my car with me. We had some errands we had to run, and off to Wal-Mart we went. The first thing we got was one of those squeaky buggies, and I put her in the front of the big basket. Up and down the isles we began to shop all over Wal-Mart with our loud squeaky buggy with every roll the wheels made, and there she was right in the front of the basket. We spoke to everyone saying, "Good Morning! How are y'all doing this fine morning?" We looked at a cute dress that might just fit Abigail, and we checked out the new bows that might match her pink dress. We even found a darling and very cute hat for her to wear too. We finally went to the check-out counter and headed outside to my car. I said, "Where in the world did we park, Abigail?" She said, "There is your car and I see it way over by the basket holders on section number 8 row." We finally parked our squeaky basket cart, got into the car, fastened our seat belts and headed out of the parking lot making our way to the Starkville Post Office to mail a letter or two.
Off we headed towards Main Street down town Starkville. Our car took us around the big First Methodist Church. "My own great-grandaddy built one of the four Methodist Churches in town," I said to Abigail, "past Mugshots, our big Oktibbeha County Courthouse, both the old and new one." We decided to pull into the Book Mart on Main Street. We got out and went inside to get a chocolate chip cookie and a cold Coke in a can. We glanced at the latest children's books, and I said, "Want to get a 'Fancy Nancy' book, Abigail? Let's look and see if we can find a special book just for you."
We headed back to our parked car, cranked it up and headed past Starkville Cafe and spotted Shirley, Rene, Liz and Joyce inside by the front door. They are the main waitresses, cook and assistant manager. "Want to come back to the cafe for lunch in an hour or so, Abigail? I think they are having chicken and dumplings, salad, corn on the cob, banana pudding and sweet tea today. Let's pull into the Starkville library. We have just enough time to take in the children's story hour this morning."
We made our rounds to Kim's Hallmark Store to pick our a special card for a sick friend of mine, and we flip over to Haze Allsup's The Flower Company. "Hey, Haze. How is it going with you today? We are going to bring in a boring straw hat of mine so that you can give it some 'Pizazz' with some of our colorful ribbons," I said. "Remember that cute big glass frog that I bought last week from you? Well, 'she' has on the cutest printed flower cotton hat tied underneath her fat frog chin! Guess where I put her?" She sits on the tip top of the back brick step leading into my downstairs art studio back porch area, and we named her 'Cutie Pie!'"
We then went back to our car and started down University Drive. I turned and said, "Want to just cruise on out to the Mississippi State University campus, Abigail?" We enter the campus proper when we go through the one last standing brick columns, and we know we are here at MSU. We pass by the Bost Extension Center and on toward the Davis Wade Football Stadium glancing up at the large screened photos of our football players, on around the old MSU Post Office in the old YMCA building making our way to the University Florist. We park put a quarter inside the parking meter and inside we go. "Hey, Lanette, how are you doing today? Have you gotten in any more new pottery from Marigold yet? I see a new angel over there." I turned and said to Abigail, "You re a real angel yourself. Do you want me to get you this tiny angel to be placed in a special spot for you on our kitchen floor for you to admire and see every day? I turned to Lanette. "Wrap Abigail's newest angel up in your prettiest MSU maroon and white frilly bows!"
We decided to take another route back home, and I took Abigail around Allen Hall, past the student dorms, turning on Magruder Street. We made a left turn on Morgan Street, and I said, "Abigail, look and see that big old white wooden two-story clap board house over there. This is where I grew up until third grade in Overstreet School. Look at that one tiny room extending off to the side of this house. This was my tiny bedroom. See that fig tree over to the side? It is still standing by the side door, and I wonder if there are any figs on it every summertime?" As I drove on by the old house, I suddenly had so many wonderful childhood memories of my family. I thought to myself, "Where have all the years gone? If I could only go back and be a little girl one one day in my life growing up on my beloved MSU campus! Time moves on, and we must make every precious second, minute and hour enjoyable every day. All we have left are our sweet memories.
We headed back home on a route down Russell Street and Gillespie Street past sweet Dorothy's and Miss Cornelia's Victorian homes, making our way towards the old lane which later became Wood Street. I can still see and hear the old milk cow coming and going up and down the lane led by an old man taking the Jersey cow to be milked at the barn near by. She had been grazing in Kennard Ward's old pasture all day, and she always had a cowbell dangling around her neck so we knew she was on her way either coming up or going down the lane.
We pulled into our driveway, and I said, "We are back home, Abigail!" Up the back brick steps, and I said, "Hi there, Miss Cutie Pie" to our sitting frog with her new cute flowered hat tied on her head with her hands folded underneath her chin. She certainly makes us smile! Inside the big old kitchen, and Abigail goes back to her special spot on her little brown easel on the floor so that I can look down at her and she can look up at me with her big brown smiling eyes! I said, "We had such a great, happy day together, didn't we, Abigail?" Everyday we live should be and could be a happy, fun, joyful day cause it is up to each one of us to make every day glorious.
I looked down at her portrait on her tiny canvas, and I thought, "Now Little Miss Abigail you are one cute cookie, agree?" Just look at her face. How could you not fall completely head over heels in love with her? Look into those big brown sparkling eyes that just melt your heart away, and her cute pug pink nose turned up just right toward heaven. Her sweet, smirky smile that makes you want to smile all day long. Her fat cheeks and her one ear lobe is sticking out on the left side of her fat cheek. Her jet black curly hair with fine real bows is pinned, tied, and stuck in just the right spots in all the soft curls that are so stylish. Abigail's favorite color is pink, and she is wearing the cutest little pleated dress that has a kicked-up flair in the back with her one arm stuck behind her waist. Look at her big pink bow tied almost underneath her tiny chin. The pink bows have all been curled with the tip end of each bow curled with a pair of scissors to give each of her now curly pink bows. I left the background all white so that Abigail would be "the shining star" on her tiny canvas. She is indeed a very classical portrait, and what great joy and delightful fun I had creating her as an artist.

"He has only forbidden you dead meat and blood, and the flesh of swine and that on which any other name has been invoked besides that of God." (The Koran, 2:173)
Muslim religious law requires, among other things, that an animal must be drained of blood before it is halal - permissible for consumption. Ritual slaughter according to Jewish dietary law - shechita - has the same prescription. Most Muslim slaughterers believe that drainage will only be complete if the throat of the animal is slit without stunning it first, but now Haluk Anil of the University of Bristol, UK, and colleagues have shown that the amount of blood drained from the animal, and the rate of blood loss, is the same regardless of whether or not it is stunned first.
Anil's team have already shown that stunning does not affect "bleed-out" in sheep. Now they have done the same ...

Ouagadougou — A boom in Burkina Faso's gold mining over the past three years has made the country one of Africa's leading producers, but it is also luring children - some as young as six - out of school.
The exact number of children abandoning schools nationally for the mines is still unclear, but many schoolchildren are known to work mainly in artisanal mines where they crush stones, sieve dust, transport water and cook. Others go to the mines during school off-days on Thursdays and Saturdays, said Moussa Ouedraogo, the Ministry for National Education and Literacy director for the country's northern region.
"This does not mean they have given up school, but it is an indication that they could end up abandoning it altogether under the influence of parents and others who have made money there," Ouedraogo told IRIN. He said 900 children skipped exams in the region this year and 3,300 others work in the mines during school off-days.
"We are sensitizing parents to curb the trend," he said, but admitted that rewarding parents and children with bicycles, books and cash for abandoning the mines was having little effect.
According to the Ministry of Finance, gold has become the top export commodity. In 2011, it earned Burkina Faso 127 billion CFA (US$247 million). Between 2007 and 2011, it brought in 440 billion CFA, accounting for 64.7 percent of all exports and 8 percent of GDP. Production rose from 23 tons in 2010 to 32 tons in 2011. Gold mines are spread across the country's northern, western, southwestern and central regions.
The government in 2003 revised its mining laws to encourage investors. Between 2007 and 2011 seven industrial mining sites opened in the West African country, where cotton was the main export cash crop.
Some 800 traditional mining sites, where most children work, have also opened, according to Terre Des Hommes, an international NGO promoting children's rights and which is working with Burkina Faso's Education Ministry to curb the negative effects the mining boom is having on education.
"This is an opportunity in the village and I don't want to miss it. If I make money I will not need to go to the capital [Ouagadougou] to look for work if I fail in school," said 13-year-old Ousséni Sawadogo. He is paid one-third of what he produces, with the mine owner taking the rest. In the past four months, Ousséni said he has earned some about $400, but that his friends have earned more.
Patchy school attendance
Primary school enrolment in the country is 57.8 percent, but only 33.9 percent of pupils complete school nationally, and just 24 percent in the rural areas. Children as young as six and older ones up to 17 can be found working at the mines, the government's National Institute for Statistics and Democracy found in a recent study.
"We need to hold national debates on the issue because in five years, we won't have schools in some areas of the country," said Hassane Sankara of the Cadre de Concertation des ONG pour l'education de Base, a coalition of local NGOs working for the improvement of primary education and enrolment.
Sankara expressed concern that all the investment made in recent years to boost school attendance could be lost. In 2001, the government launched a 62-billion CFA ($118 million) project aiming to increase to 70 percent the number of children enrolled in primary school by 2010, and 100 percent by 2015.
"It is a total failure of the national policy because [mining] is taking children out of schools, empties learning centres and only old people remain in the villages," said Sankara, whose own cousin abandoned Advanced Level secondary school for a mining site in Kalsaka in the north.
"The mining impact goes beyond the education sector," Education Minister Koumba Boly told IRIN, voicing worry that the country's overall development could be undermined if education is badly affected. The minister said a decree will be issued when schools re-open in mid-September banning all children from mining sites.
In Burkina Faso's central Pousguin region, the population has surged to 35,000 from 10,000 in one month after a new gold mine was discovered there recently, said Herman Zoungrana of Terre Des Hommes.
"We are witnessing the birth of new villages and the new settlers come along with their children," Zoungrana said. He explained that it is difficult to completely take children out of the mines because they often migrate with their families whenever new mining sites are discovered.
"You can take 100 children back to school today and the next day they have moved to another place because there is a new site," he said. "The mining sites are the only [economic] opportunity for these people who move there with their families. More and more mining sites are becoming villages on their own. And even if the children do not work, they live there."
Abdoul Moumouni Kaboré, 17, said many children work at the mines to support their families.
"I came for holidays and I have never gone back to Ouagadougou because around us a lot of boys are caring for their families with the money they are making from the site," said Kaboré, who has been working at a mine in Pousguin for the last two months. "You need to work hard and wait for your luck. I can't go back home until I get something because people will laugh at me."
According to Moussa Ouedraogo, the regional director of education in the north of the country, the Education Ministry this year distributed food to schools in the region known for its poor harvests to prevent children from joining the mining sites.
"But we were able to cover only part of the school year with food distribution," he said. Poverty and hardship relegate the importance of education and many people have taken up mining for their economic survival.
Terre Des Hommes's Zoungrana said they have also distributed cereals and other foods to school canteens and to some families to dissuade parents from sending children to mine.
"We also try to make school a pleasant place with games and sports," Zoungrana added.
Mining companies also need to act
The Ministry of Education says the strategy to stem school dropouts depends on the local administrators such as mayors, but Zoungrana said the problem cannot be resolved at the local level alone.
"The communes [local authorities] are committed, but there is no government legislation to back their actions so that the mining companies can also be compelled to contribute financially to strengthen their actions."

P.E. Central Lesson Plan: Flag Steal
Purpose of Activity:To have students work on chasing, fleeing, and dodging skills.
Suggested Grade Level:4th and UP
Materials Needed:Cones for general space boundaries and for "the stolen flag/safe area"; two velcro flags and one flag belt for each student
Lesson Plan:Description of Idea
Have each student put on the flag belt and then attach the two flags so they are hanging from their hips. On the signal, students are to move througout the playing space (i.e., walking, skipping, sliding) trying to steal as many flags as possible from other students in the playing area.
Upon stealing a flag students are to go to the "stolen flag/safe area" (coned off areain the middle or outside of playing area) and drop the flag. They can either go back out and try to get more flags or they can put flags on their empty belt if they had one stolen.
Students can also use this as a "rest area" in case they get tired. Activity stops on teachers signal.
Teaching Suggestions:
1. Give feedback to those making nice dodges to avoid getting a flag taken.
2. Stop the game if it gets rough or unsafe.
3. Take resting pulse before and after activity to see how this activity raises heart rate.
4. Do not let students protect/defend their belts with their hands. They need to use their dodging skills.
5. Set up boundary cones so they are AWAY from walls.
6. Make sure your students have a good grasp on moving in general space with others in a dynamic setting.
7. Start the activity off by WALKING. Then change to more difficult locomotor movements as you are satisfied with safety.

Bosch argued that changing the environment helps teachers and students to break free from old habits: "One of the things you can do is create an environment where you cannot function the same way as you used to.

João Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo, pron. , (January 15, 1918–December 24, 1999) was a Brazilian military leader and politician. He was chief of the Secret Service (SNI) during the term of his predecessor Ernesto Geisel. Figueiredo was chosen to be president of Brazil by the former military leader, General Ernesto Geisel. He took the oath of office on March 15, 1979, serving until March 15 1985. He continued the democratization that Geisel started and decreed amnesty. Facing a severe economic crisis, Figueiredo became increasingly unpopular. He suffered a heart attack in 1981. Since 1964, Brazilians had not been allowed to vote for president and by 1983 they began to demonstrate for the return of the democracy. Figueiredo was against this desire and in 1984 the Congress rejected the return of direct elections. But the opposition, headed by Tancredo Neves, won the election for president in the Congress. Figueiredo retired after the end of his term and died in 1999.
In 1974 he assumed the leadership of the National Information Service (March 15 1974 - June 14 1978), a Brazil's internal security agency. Picked by President Ernesto Geisel as potential successor, Figueiredo defeated opposition candidate, General Monteiro, and continued the gradual "abertura" (democratization) process instituted in 1974. An amnesty law, signed by Figueiredo on 28 August 1979, amnestied those convicted of "political or related" crimes between 1961 and 1978. In the early 1980s, the military regime could not effectively maintain the two-party system established in 1966. The Figueiredo administration dissolved the government-controlled National Renewal Alliance Party (ARENA) and allowed new parties to be formed. In 1981 the Congress enacted a law on restoration of direct elections of state governors. The general election of 1982 brought victory to Arena's successor, pro-government PDS {Democratic Social Party} (43.22% of the vote), and to the opposition PMDB {Brazilian Democratic Movement Party} (42.96%).
The governorship of three major states, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, was won by the opposition. However, the political developments were overshadowed by economic problems. As inflation and unemployment soared, the foreign debt reached massive proportions making Brazil the world's biggest debtor owing about US$90 billion to international lenders. The austerity program imposed by the government brought no signs of recovery for the Brazilian economy until the end of Figueiredo's term. The president was often incapacitated by illness and took two prolonged leaves for health treatment in 1981 and 1983, but the civilian vice president Antônio Aureliano Chaves de Mendonça did not enjoy major political power. The opposition vigorously struggled for passing a constitutional amendment to allow direct popular elections in November 1984, but the proposal failed to win passage in the Congress.
Figueiredo was reputed a severe and unpolite military man and often spoke in harsh terms. He was famously quoted saying:

So Airbnb officially has a new logo to go along with a newly designed site. While their massive $776 million in funding has given them a valuation higher than that of publicly traded travel booking site Expedia, it's the jokes across social media and blogs that are really putting the company in the big leagues. We're not sure if that makes Airbnb the Starbucks of startups, or the Gap of travel. Co-founder Brian Chesky describes the inspiration for the new symbol.
Belonging has always been a fundamental driver of humankind. So to represent that feeling, we've created a symbol for us as a community. It's an iconic mark for our windows, our doors, and our shared values. It's a symbol that, like us, can belong wherever it happens to be. We're proud to introduce the Bélo: the universal symbol of belonging. {AirBnB}
Unfortunately, "belonging" isn't the first thing that came to mind for most people. One of the least explicit riffs on the new logo sums up the rest pretty well. There's already a dedicated Tumblr which spells things out further; possibly NSFW if stick figure depictions of breasts and genitals would be frowned upon by your boss. Michael K of Dlisted only sees back cleavage from a much shared People of Walmart photo. While this may not have been the reaction Airbnb was going for, the new logo does have people talking, and not about someone having their place destroyed, being surprised to find that it's the location of a sex party or returning to the remnants of an orgy. That's got to count for something.
