The Place at the End of the World: essays from the edge
Janine di Giovanni Bloomsbury, 414pp,
by Caroline Moorehead Published
In 1988, married and visiting Chicago, Janine di Giovanni read a story about an Israeli lawyer called Felicia Langer who was devoting her life to defending Palestinians before the Israeli military courts. Something of this woman's courage and tenacity, and the virulence of the attacks against her, moved di Giovanni in a way she had not been touched before. She rang Langer, then flew to Israel to talk to her, taking with her a notebook and a commission from the Sunday Correspondent Magazine. Langer introduced her to some of her clients. "Write about the small voices," she said, "the people who can't write about themselves."
That story eventually became di Giovanni's first book, Against the Stranger, which she wrote after she had spent many months in Israel and the occupied territories. Visiting the wall being built by the Israelis, she remembered the remark made by Ariel Sharon when, in 1973, Winston Churchill's grandson asked how Israel was planning to deal with the Palestinians: "We'll make a pastrami sandwich out of them . . . We'll insert a strip of Jewish settlements in between the Palestinians, and then another strip of Jewish settlements right across the West Bank, so that in 25 years' time neither the United Nations nor the United States, nobody, will be able to tear it apart."
Di Giovanni became drawn not just to the particular injustices she had witnessed, but to all injustices against people who could not write about themselves. Like the American war reporter Martha Gellhorn, whose work she admires - and whose path she has most closely followed - di Giovanni began to feel that it was her duty to bear witness and bring back descriptions of what she had seen. Her marriage broke up, and she began reporting from the many war zones of the 1990s and early 2000s: Bosnia, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Iraq.
She wrote about sieges and militias, about child soldiers and civilians mutilated by rebels. She was at Tora Bora when the US B-52s, trying to flush Qaeda fighters out of the caves, dropped their smart bombs in December 2001, killing villagers because they were not "smart" enough, and in February 2000 she was in Grozny, a city made uninhabitable by the Russian offensive. She lost colleagues to ambushes and had narrow escapes herself, and she also found herself banned from several countries. The day came when she realised that war had begun to attract her more powerfully than any other lure: she had become someone who was always trying to go to places from which everyone else was fleeing.
In the process, di Giovanni became a very good war reporter. Not only is her style, like that of Gellhorn, plain and refreshingly unegotistical, but she has adopted another of Gellhorn's trademarks: the device of drawing readers into the story by making them part of it. "It was easy," she wrote in an article about Iraq just before the start of the war in 2003, "to forget that these people, who looked like you or me or like friends of ours, existed . . ."
The Place at the End of the World is a collection of some 20 long articles, most of them originally written for the Times or Vanity Fair. War news has a short shelf-life, and the pieces could have seemed dated, but paradoxically it is the familiarity of the material that gives the collection its edge. Depressingly little has changed in the past decade. Wars that were meant to end in weeks have dragged on for years. Afghanistan, Somalia, Chechnya, Israel and Iraq are all in varying states of civil war. Read together, these pieces provide a terrifying picture of the anarchical and appallingly brutal nature of conflict, with its druggy boy soldiers, its cheap and proliferating weapons, its seemingly random viciousness.
Meanwhile, di Giovanni's own life has changed, and there are unlikely to be more articles of this kind, at least not for a time. In a series of brief autobiographical chapters, she describes her second marriage, to another war correspondent, and the birth, after considerable difficulties, of her son. The violent places she visited and wrote so well about are not those that most mothers of young children choose to spend time in.

Cameron Paterson, 17, posted the obscene message mocking the ex-Aston Villa and Bulgarian player shortly before he retired as a player after suffering cancer.
Paterson, of Dalmuir, West Dunbartonshire, admitted at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court that he sent an offensive and sectarian message last April. He was fined £360.
The message included the words: "Petrov a hope you die" and used a derogatory sectarian comment. Petrov, 33, retired last May as captain of Aston Villa, having successfully fought acute leukaemia. He took a new coaching role with the club but left last August, saying he wanted more time with his family.

By Court Rye (Mktg'06)
The year was 2006 and I had just finished my marketing degree at the Leeds School of Business and was getting ready to set out into the "real world." Like many of my friends, I was eager to live the dream and go somewhere completely new. I had a strong drive to head west and work in high tech, and my passion for surfing sealed the deal. Four years have passed since graduation. I've grown a lot, surfed a lot and realized that my time and experience at CU really laid the foundation for how I'm living now.
It's funny how a mentor or a good friend can change your life. When I look back at the start of my job, my major or my ability to drive across the country and start a new life, there's a special person who made the difference at every turn.
One was Will Toor, former Boulder mayor, former director of the CU Environmental Center and current Boulder County commissioner. He helped connect me with a part time job as the webmaster at the Environmental Center center where I developed HTML skills and an interest in clean technology.
Then there was David Scully (Mktg'06), classmate and friend at the business school. He collaborated with me on several group projects, culminating in a hugely successful Microsoft-sponsored career event that expanded my network and rèsumè. David also helped me locate and apply for my first job as a consultant with Accenture in San Francisco while he was working part-time for CU Career Services.
Another was Laura Kornish, associate professor of marketing, avid runner and transplant from Duke University. She taught me the value (and fun) of undercover market research and encouraged me to stay open minded about careers and family. Her enthusiasm for continuing education has kept me involved at CU and inspired me to attend national conferences and new courses at Stanford University.
Finally there was Raymond MacFee, senior accounting professor and former businessman known for nerve-racking random audience member questioning in 100-plus-sized lecture halls. I paid the "MacFee" several times when I came unprepared for class but gained a lot of confidence and knowledge along the way. I also learned a bit about teaching from Ray, investing in people by holding them accountable and being patient but persistent. People live up and down to your expectations and Ray's were always very high for us.
There are too many stories like this to really do the community justice but the point is, all of these people contributed something positive and remarkable to my life and I discovered them all at CU.
Well, my time at CU as a student is over now. I've visited the campus a few times since graduation. The views haven't really changed much but something about the campus just isn't quite the same. Beautiful new buildings and landscaping have sprung up, new future-focused curriculum is listed on the freshly revamped website and bright-eyed faces are cruising around on skateboards and bikes. As a three-year residential advisor during my sophomore, junior and senior years, I used to know quite a few of these young people. I'd get the "Hey Court, what's up!" at almost every bend and it really felt like I had a role in the community.
With each passing year however, fewer familiar faces remain. I once read that every living cell in the human body is replaced over the course of a seven-year period. Somehow we keep our memories and feelings alive but we literally aren't the same. CU isn't the same place for me anymore either – it isn't a place at all ― it was an amazing moment in my life. I really don't think it can be described with words, just acknowledged and appreciated. My CU experience is something that can never be lost or devalued. It is a part of who I am and it's something sacred.
The flip side of my four-year formal education at Boulder has been my four-year endeavor into the "real world." In the two weeks following graduation I sold or gave away all of my extra stuff, attended a few parties, said goodbye to my family and drove my Subaru across the country to San Francisco with a fellow graduate named Kristin Burkholder (Mktg'06).
Before this I had never visited northern California and wasn't quite sure what to expect. The roads had interesting, bright, reflector bumps that I hadn't seen in Colorado, the traffic was quite a bit heavier and the gas pumps had these cool exhaust sucker things that kept pollution down. Pretty soon I was noticing signs for Ebay, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Stanford, Hewlett Packard and Google. I remember the amazement and wonder of exploring this new place.
The first time I saw a Tesla Roadster in real life, it was parked along the side of the road on University in Palo Alto. I spent a few minutes oogling the car and was approached by the owner, Martin Eberhard, who ended up being one of the original founders of the company! Or there was the time I was introduced to my friend's girlfriend and found out she worked for Facebook. Just two weeks later I saw its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, walking along the street with a friend. Nothing out of the ordinary in these parts… right!
While the new position I had gotten with Accenture kept my days full of work and learning, it also provided a structured way for me to explore the area. Many of the projects we took on were in different parts of the Bay Area and I decided that rather than spend extra time in my car commuting to work each day I would simply move to each new work site. In the first six months I changed location four times and made a ton of new friends following this method.
Aside from work I surfed a lot. I had bought my first "steamer" wetsuit and booties and lost my first surfing competition. Well, better luck next time! That first winter I got to see the world-famous big wave surfing event in Half Moon Bay called Mavericks. I've continued the tradition with each passing year; narrowly escaping rogue waves that injured dozens of spectators at this year's event.
As my knowledge of the Bay Area grew, my network expanded and my mind started filling up with entrepreneurial ideas reminiscent of my time in entrepreneurship classes with Frank Moyes at the business school. After work I would spend time with new friends I had met at networking events. We would build websites or go swimming or bike riding and talk about startup ideas. I eventually decided I wanted to create something of my own and started blogging about clean technologies.
I was learning about new online marketing methods and thought I could both grow my knowledge of an interesting space while trying my hand at business. Over the past few years that single blog about solar energy has ballooned into a whole network of websites and blogs including Cleantech Authority, Solar Power Authority, Wind Power Authority, Electric Vehicle Authority, Green Home Authority, Biomass Authority and Green Job Feed (supporting sustainable careers). In tandem with the blog network, I made friends with the founders of a startup green advertising agency in San Francisco called Matter Network; they now place exclusive banners across each one of my sites pertaining to green products and services.
Today my Clean Tech Authority network attracts tens of thousands of visitors a month and has inspired me to continue my formal education by becoming a certified nanotech clean tech professional through a series of courses in San Jose. I have also taken energy resource engineering and clean tech entrepreneurship at Stanford University.
When I'm not writing for blogs on my own time, I'm working with CU student interns who contribute articles and learn about online marketing for school credit. Many of these interns come through the CU Environmental Center where I was working as a student just five years ago. I've had the pleasure of mentoring other students who are considering a similar path as mine and found a passion for for leading and managing.
I'm settled in now, living in a small town called Mountain View, Calif., and working for a consulting firm called ROI Communications. I manage updates and design for Hewlett Packard's corporate intranet and continue building my own websites and interests on the side. I've taken an acting course at Stanford and had the opportunity to star in a corporate training video for HP. I'm still learning a lot, reading books about spirituality and life, making new friends and keeping my dreams alive.
I've really only shared a sliver of my new life in this article but maybe the message is that descriptions are all we can share with mere words. I can't really let anyone know the answers but I'm always excited to speak with a new student or share where I've been. Inspiration is what got me here and I've always been excited by the innovation and freedom the world has to offer. I think many of the tools that have helped me succeed in this new place were developed during those first few independent years at CU. My choices haven't always been perfect but the support and values I've been blessed with have made all the difference.
Court Rye (Mktg'06) is a consultant for ROI Communications in Scotts Valley, Calif., working as a lead webmaster for a global technology company with over 300,000 employees. He's the founder of the Clean Tech Authority Network as well as indilean – Indie Music. Lyrics. Meaning and Sustainable Online Solutions. He earned a project management professional certificate in 2007 and received a certified nanotech clean tech professional certification in 2009. He's pursued continuing studies course work at Stanford University and is chief technology officer and member of the board at Evolveit Motors, an electric vehicle company.

The idea that President Obama wowed 700 people at Century Village is a big lie.He now says he needs more time to fix the economy and needs another term. Well, this senior remembers him saying that if he could not fix the economy and balance the budget in one term, he would be a on-tterm president. He has not fixed the economy or even addressed the balance of the budget. In fact, he has added $5 trillion to the debt, and we still have 8.2 percent unemployment. A recent Palm Beach Post article stated that, if you took everything into consideration - people who are no longer
looking for employment as well as the under-employed - the unemployment rate would be 17 percent. And Obama has the nerve to ask for another four years? God help us.Obama hurried legislators to pass the stimulus bill for fear the unemployment rate would go from 4.5 percent, when he took office, to 8 percent. Well, the Democratic Congress at the time passed the bill, and the unemployment rate went to 10 percent, then came down to 9 percent and settled at 8.2 percent. And
he wants another term.The healthcare in this country has to fixed, yes, but not turned upside down on its head. His own former chief of staff, Ron Emanuel, told him to put aside the healthcare bill until he fixed the economy and the unemployment. Obama disregarded his advice, ignored the economy, and went ahead with the healthcare bill. The bill was sold to us as not a tax, but, low and behold, the Supreme Court says it is a tax. Do
the seniors who listened to the president in West Palm Beach understand that there are about 20 different taxes in this new law? This senior does.And now, for good measure, Obama blames the Republicans in the House for the stalemate in Washington. Do these seniors know that the Democratic Senate has not passed a budget in over 1,000 days, even though they are required by law to submit a budget every year? The Republicans have passed and sent to the Senate about 20 to 30 bills, including a new budget, which Harry Reid will not even
bring up for debate. It's one thing to disagree and then debate these proposed bills, but to not even bring them up on the floor? You tell me who is causing the stalemate.The only true thing Obama has told us was on the night he was elected he he said he was going to transform this country from what we had then. Do any of these Century Villagers know what he meant? I do, and he is getting his way even as he has to go around Congress, which he has done and will continue to do if he is elected for another four years.Again, God help us all.Leonard Shapiro, Boynton Beach

Linseed oil, also known as flax seed oil or simply flax oil, is a clear to yellowish drying oil derived from the dried ripe seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum, Linaceae). It is obtained by pressing, followed by an optional stage of solvent extraction. Cold-pressed oil obtained without solvent extraction is marketed as flaxseed oil.
It is a traditional finish for gun stocks, but a very fine finish may require months to obtain. Several coats of linseed oil is the traditional protective coating for the raw willow wood of cricket bats, and thus has a special cultural place in cricket-playing countries.
Fire departments treat the wood handles of hand tools that have metal implements (axes, plaster hooks etc.) on them with Linseed oil as it does not create static electricity, unlike synthetic wood finishes like varnishes.
Linseed oil is often used by billiards/pool cue-makers for the shaft portion of the cue.
Linseed oil is also commonly used as a lubricant/protectant for wooden recorders.
Although flax seeds themselves contain lignans, a class of phytoestrogens considered to have antioxidant and cancer preventing properties, the extracted linseed oil does not contain the lignans found in flax seed, and therefore does not have the same antioxidant properties. In fact, flax seed oil is easily oxidized, and rapidly becomes rancid with an unpleasant odor unless refrigerated. Even when kept under cool conditions it has a shelf life of only a few weeks. Oil with an unpleasant or rancid odour should be discarded. Rancid oils contribute to the formation of free radicals and may be carcinogenic. Oxidation of flax seed oil is major commercial concern, and antioxidants may be added to prevent rancidification.

In an interview with American magazine Science, Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister has blamed some foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for the protests against the Kudankulam nuclear power project in Tamil Nadu.
The PM stated that these NGOs, mostly from the United States are against the construction of the nuclear power plant which is built with the Russian assistance saying that the organizations did not appreciate India's need to increase energy supplies.
"You know, for example, what's happening in Kudankulam. The atomic energy programme has got into difficulties because these NGOs, mostly I think based in the United States, don't appreciate the need for our country to increase the energy supply," the PM told NetIndian. This has disrupted the development of the Indian Nuclear energy programme and caused disturbed the country's economy.
The remarks on the Kundankulam protests came during Singh's answer to a query on why his Government had put a moratorium on the release of Bt brinjal. The biotechnology has great potential and the country must make use of genetic engineering technologies to increase the productivity of agriculture.
In response to a question about how human space flights fitted in with his plans for inclusive growth, PM said, "Well, ultimately science and technology must be viewed as an instrument of raising the standard of living of our people. Now, if information technology can be seen to promote the development of our country, particularly in the inclusive style of development, I think people will see space technology also as a new way of dealing with the ancient scourges of poverty, ignorance, and disease. Science and technology are the ultimate salvation for finding meaningful new pathways of developing our economy," he added.
The Kudankulam power station is one of several planned power projects that are seen as vital to plugging huge electricity shortages that have damaged economic growth. Protests by local people against the power station gathered pace after the Fukushima accident in Japan in March last year. In December, Singh said the plant would be open within weeks.

Ane's music is acoustic and often accompanied by live strings. It is folky and stripped down, very intimate. She has been touring in Europe and the US for the past couple of years and lives in Stockholm when not on the road. I saw Ane in Chicago in 2012 when she and her band were promoting her last album, It All Starts With One. She is currently touring the US again and promoting her newest album, Rarities, with shows in LA, Chicago, And New York (among many others).

Airflow is the most critical factor in the cooling system and affects a radiator's cooling efficiency the most. A vehicle's speed, be it a street car or racecar, is the point most considered when figuring out airflow necessary for proper cooling. Maintaining adequate airflow at a car's various operating speeds is crucial and complex. First, the radiator must be supplied with fresh air. The grille opening or air inlet can make all the difference here. Ideally it should be facing squarely into the wind. With older cars, frontal/grille area usually isn't an issue, except for Corvettes. The size of the grille opening should always be proportional to the vehicle's operating speed(s). Big-block-powered C2 and C3 Corvettes are notorious for cooling issues because of the smaller front surface area they have, along with their tighter engine compartments.
A radiator transfers the heat in the coolant to the cooler air passing through the fins and over the coolant tubes, or more simply put, the radiator's core. For the radiator to work properly, the flow of air must be under high pressure at the front side of the radiator and lower pressure behind. This pressure differential pushes the air past the fins. If air pressure builds up in the fan shroud or the engine compartment and the pressure differential is decreased, the airflow across the radiator can slow down and "stall" much like the airflow over the wing of an airplane. When planning out your car's cooling system, you have to consider both idle and cruise conditions and how fresh air can be presented to the radiator effectively in both situations.
"Electric fans versus mechanical/clutch-type fans is really a no-brainer. There are normally two types of overheating situations. If you are running hot at highway speed, you probably don't have enough radiator capacity. If you are overheating at idle/slow speed, you probably don't have enough airflow. This is where the electric fan works and the "engine" fan does not. The type and quality of electric fan is very important. Accurate airflow cfm numbers are critical. The more air you can move through the radiator, the more heat you can dissipate."
Water Flow
Coolant flow is usually the last aspect of the cooling system to be addressed. Ironically, it's also the usual cause for overheating problems. A typical stock water pump has excessive clearance and straight impeller blades, usually open front and back. With the engine running at low rpm, this produces little coolant flow and is typically responsible for cars overheating in traffic at idle speed. At high rpm, this design will cause cavitation and aeration, which can also cause the coolant flow to be reduced to the point of engine overheat. A common Band-Aid fix for this problem is to run underdrive pulleys, which slows down the revolutions of the water pump/impeller. While the high-rpm cavitation problem is solved, this solution usually contributes to a low-rpm overheat problem because the water pump isn't turning fast enough. With an engine-driven water pump, the only remedy is an aftermarket race-style pump with tight clearances and a swept-blade, closed-impeller design
Electric water pumps are a highly effective solution to these problems with multiple benefits. The constant speed of an electric pump eliminates high-rpm cavitation problems and low-rpm insufficient flow issues. An added bonus is being able to run the pump when the engine is shut off, especially useful racing applications.
The third benefit is the elimination of parasitic horsepower loss from the engine having to turn the water pump off the crankshaft.
Pump & System Pressure
For every pound of pressure in a closed cooling system, the boiling point is increased 3 degrees. For example, a properly functioning 16lb radiator cap can increase your boil-over point to 260° F [(16 x 3) + 212 = 260]. We mention properly working because an old or faulty radiator cap can prevent your cooling system from building enough pressure to work properly.
Even though your temp gauge might never go beyond 192 degrees, you can have hot spots around the combustion chamber that will be in excess of the coolant's boiling point. A lack of pressure in the cooling system allows boiling to start prematurely. Gasses produced by the coolant boiling push water out and simultaneously aerate the coolant, making the cooling inefficiency worse.
Water is diverted around these steam pockets leading to more serious problems, such as surface distortion, metal fatigue, and cracks. Once this premature boiling begins, it won't stop while the engine is under load. Coolant flow, temperature, and pressure all work to minimize boiling at hot spots, which can produce steam pockets that insulate the engine's metal surfaces from the coolant.
The more pressure the water pump produces, the less chance there is of steam pockets forming. The same boiling point law mentioned earlier works here too. Racing-style water pumps can generate pressure in the water jacket in excess of 30 psi to minimize hot spots and reduce detonation/pre-ignition.
According to Walker, the importance of using the correct type of coolant for your radiator cannot be overstated.
"Only use the correct antifreeze for aluminum radiators. Electrolysis decay is also common when stray voltage runs through the radiator," says Walker.

Piero della Francesca (ca. 1416-1492) is best remembered as a Renaissance painter whose murals adorn some of the great churches of Italy and whose portraits and outdoor scenes convey a sense of depth. But in his time, he was also recognized as a mathematician who composed several mathematical treatises, of which only a few survive today. These include the following three works:
Modern scholarship has ascertained that Piero, in the mid fifteenth century, also wrote and illustrated a collection of works of Archimedes (Banker, 2005). This manuscript of 82 folios is housed at the Biblioteca Riccardiana in Florence, Italy; however, the whole manuscript can be viewed via the World Digital Library. The following excerpts are provided through the courtesy of the World Digital Library; they include pages from the following works of Archimedes:
Figure 1. The first page of the manuscript and the beginning of On the Sphere and Cylinder.
In the mid fifteenth century, only a few Latin copies of Archimedes' work existed in Europe. In the early 1450s, Pope Nicholas V commissioned Jacobus Cremonensis to make a Latin translation of the available Greek copies of Archimedes' work into Latin. Piero transcribed Cremonensis' work into his own manuscript, probably in the late 1450s.
Figure 2. A page from On the Sphere and Cylinder with supporting diagrams. Piero added over 200 such illustrations, clarifying and proving statements in the text.
Figure 3. The first page of On the Measurement of the Circle.
Figure 4. An illustrated page from On Conoids and Spheroids.
Figure 5. The title page for the On Spirals section.
Figure 6. Illustrations of the construction of spirals. PIero used a compass to construct these diagrams; the holes from the points of his compass remain as evidence of the drawing process.
Figure 7. More illustrations of the construction of spirals. As in Figure 6, it is evident that Piero used a compass to construct these diagrams, as the holes from the points of his compass can still be seen.
Figure 8. The beginning of Archimedes' On the Equilibrium of Planes.
Figure 9. The opening pages of On the Quadrature of the Parabola. In his writing, Piero used the tight humanistic script of this period.
Figure 10. The page above demonstrates the partitioning of a parabola into basic geometric shapes, allowing for area approximation.
Figure 11. The beginning of The Sand Reckoner, a theoretical tract in which Archimedes attempted to approximate the number of grains of sand that would fill the universe. It was Piero della Francesca's work on this manuscript that convinced many scholars that he should also be recognized as a mathematician (J.V. Field, 2005).
To fully appreciate this manuscript, it is suggested that viewers see the complete work at the World Digital Library site. The images above may be used in your classroom and for private study; for all other purposes, please seek permission from the Riccardiana Library of Florence (or Biblioteca Riccardiana Firenze).

How to Help a Loved One Through Detox
Living with someone who is beginning or dealing with detox is very hard. Many people find it difficult to deal with seeing their loved ones eat things which they cannot. When someone is starting detox they may experience a stage in which I like to call the Angry Carbs stage, this stage involves someone getting very angry at the thought of any type of calorie filled food. This will guide you through all the stages of detox.
1When the person is starting detox they must begin with a type of detox which will be good for the person and which will not make the malnourished and unhealthy.Ad
2The first stage is "weaning" the person out of their usual diet, to begin help them reduce their calorie intake, reducing it slowly so that they can not go mentally insane when they miss the calories.
3It is advisable at this stage to buy some kind of calorie substitute which can be bought at chemists and health food shops.
4The first stage is often the hardest with many people becoming emotionally stressed about the person and how they are becoming mentally disturbed. To help try to only eat calorie filled foods when not around the person who is doing the detox because this will cause them to feel even more cravings.
5The second stage is a stage which I like to call the Yum Num stage when the person begins by slowly changing the diet to cabbage. In this stage the persons body will be turning and fixing itself and this may be hard for the person in question.
6To help it is advisable to share some quality time together telling the person how much they mean to you and how you will like them more when they are completely detoxed.
7This stage is the stage where the person begins the actual detox process itself. they begin with many different foods this often the hardest stage and if it gets too much then see the point below.
8Detoxing flushes out toxins and this puts strain on the liver causing headaches, nausea, fatigue. You can reduce the burden on the liver a lot by using N-Acetyl-Cycteine and Tri-Methyl-Glycine. Lots of water always helps too.
9In this section sending the person in question to a camp such as the detox camp or similar is advisable because it will help them learn how to deal with the emotional stress of detox. Maybe even some botox afterwards will improve the persons confidence and overall look.Ad
We could really use your help!
Internet Filtering?
Family Life?
- Make the person aware that the detox is healthy and beneficial.
- Do not talk about the detox.

Despite astonishment and outrage at the ghostwriting scandal, music credited to Mamoru Samuragochi is surging in sales. Hiroshima was No 1 in classical CD sales and surged to No 27 overall in Japan, selling more than 2000 copies over the past week.
In his eight-page handwritten statement, released to the Japanese media through his lawyer, Samuragochi said he had regained part of his hearing three years ago. He apologised for the row and for failing to explain to his fans sooner.
The scandal erupted last week when his ghostwriter revealed he wrote music credited to Samuragochi for 18 years.
Samuragochi said: "(My hearing) has recovered to the level I can catch words when someone speaks close to my ear clearly and slowly, although it still sounds a bit muffled and distorted."
He stood by his identity as a Hiroshima native and insisted his parents were survivors of the 1945 US atomic bombing.
Samuragochi, 50, confessed to the collaboration the day before a tabloid magazine published an interview with the ghostwriter.
Takashi Niigaki, a 43-year-old lecturer at a music college, said he has believed all along his partner could hear, given the way the pair discussed his compositions.

For the past few years I've been wondering what all the buzz was about the Blogher conference. Well this summer I'll find out. The weekend long get together, girl power, blogger event is in New York. When I finally got around to deciding to go, the conference was sold out. Fortunately I was able (through persistant checking) to find a ticket for sale on a chat board on the Blogher site.
So, if any of you are going, let me know. And, if any advertisers are out there reading this post, I'm looking for a company (or companies) to sponsor me for the weekend. For information about being a sponsor, click here.
And now… blog on.

Wild Coast, Eastern Cape
Once you've booked your hotel or Wild Coast accommodation explore our destination pages below for info on attractions and what to do in the Wild Coast Region.
As its name suggests, the Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape that extends between the Mtamvuna River in the north and the Great Kei River to the south, is an untamed wilderness.
The Wild Coast is an incredible, unassuming combination of breath-taking coastline, precipitous and craggy cliff faces, wild and desolate beaches, secluded bays and green rolling hills that rush headlong into deeply etched river valleys.
Included in the Wild Coast is what used to be the Transkei, which, largely due to lack of infrastructure, past neglect, and the fact that it isnt easy to fly in for a weekend, has ensured that the well over 200 kilometre coastline is virtually inaccessible to all but those prepared to hike it, or venture forth on horseback. The beauty of the coastline is interfered with by few, and aside from the odd collection of thatched rondavel huts, is virtually uninhabited.
This Wild Coast area acted as a border for much of the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was rife with conflict between British colonists and the rural Xhosa people who lived a colourful and richly cultural existence in this beautiful region. The birth place of Nelson Mandela is an effortlessly unspoiled land that claims to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Explore the traditions and customs of the local Xhosa people, visit the birthplace of Nelson Mandela and learn about the astonishingly uplifting life of the man who lead South Africa into her modern democracy at Umtatas Nelson Mandela Museum.

In this single two big fans of this music: brilliant & known british singer Kate Walsh & russian artist Paul Vinitsky decided to make crazy experiment. They present 2 vocal visions of same track in one pack. One contains sparkling female vocals, another one solid male vocal part. Both are based on massive trance sound with uplifting leads and groovy progressive sequences. So we're proud to present juicy vocal trance single by Paul Vinitsky and Kate Walsh. It's called 'Me And You' and it's tribute to memorable music of M. Ravel.

SUVs are highly fuel-inefficient and prone to roll over on tight turns. Worst of all, occupants of ordinary cars unlucky enough to crash into an SUV are likely to suffer serious injury or be killed outright. The high clearance which contributes to the turn instability also means that the larger and much heavier SUVs all too often ride right over the engine compartment of the other vehicle and smash into the passenger area.
It is also becoming clear that being "in command" (as the US advertisements like to say) of such a large piece of machinery engenders carelessness in driving habits and fosters a false belief that one can truly go anywhere (and without getting stuck). Some who buy such vehicles claim to do so out of self-defence: who knows where such an idea might lead in terms of additional "defence equipment"?

Tripura, India (CNN) -- The pictures may be difficult to look at, but 18-month-old Roona Begum's story of survival is remarkable.
Soon after she was born in a remote village in northeastern India, Roona was diagnosed with an extreme form of hydrocephalus -- a disorder causing cerebral fluid to build up in the brain.
Doctors had given Roona just a few months to live.
"Day-by-day, her head started growing bigger, she stopped wanting to eat, she would just lie in bed, it became very difficult for us to carry her and take her anywhere," says Roona's father Abdul Rehman says.
Roona's head grew to a circumference of 94 centimeters, almost triple the size of a normal baby.
There were ten liters of excess fluid inside her brain. Her head was so heavy she could barely move.
Hydrocephalus is more common among infants and older adults. The condition is caused by overproduction, obstruction or lack of absorption of the cerebral fluid in the brain.
The skin of her head has stretched so far, it pulled her eyelids over her eyes, making it impossible for Roona to see.
Her mother, Fatima Begum, would draw eyebrows on Roona with black kohl everyday just to try and make her look more normal.
Krantz and Borchgrevink put Roona's photo on a crowd funding website, hoping to raise $1,600 to cover her shunt surgery. In two months, they raised double that amount, and by August 2013, they raised more than $60,000.
They've transferred half of this amount to the charity arm of Fortis Hospital in New Delhi for her treatment. The hospital covered the remaining half of the expenses. The students plan to send the remaining amount for Roona's aftercare.

TUESDAY - May 5, 2009
RALEIGH - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that in federal court today United States District Judge James C. Dever, III, sentenced ALEXANDER EUGENE OXLEY, 25, of West Palm Beach, Florida to 156 months' imprisonment followed by five years of supervised release.
OXLEY, who was charged by Criminal Indictment on February 20, 2008, pled guilty to one count of conspiring to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of use and carrying of a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime on July 7, 2008.
On September 22, 2007, OXLEY and co-conspirators, Anthony Hassan Russell, 25, also of West Palm Beach, Florida, and Ivan Correa, Jr., 22, of Lake Worth, Florida, traveled by train from West Palm Beach, Florida to Raleigh, North Carolina, where they were picked up at the train station by Anthony Terrell Russell, 24, of Raleigh, North Carolina. Anthony Hassan Russell brought a Mossburg 12-gauge shotgun, Correa brought a Glock 9-millimeter pistol.
On September 24, 2007, Anthony Terrell Russell, Anthony Hassan Russell, Correa, OXLEY, and Brandon Michael Jones, 21, of Raleigh, North Carolina, armed with the Mossburg 12-gauge shotgun and the Glock 9-millimter pistol, went to a residence in Raleigh where they believed illegal drugs were stored. Anthony Terrell Russell pointed out the residence and drove off. The others entered the residence which was occupied by a woman. The woman was taken to the bathroom and tied up, and her jewelry, cell-phone, and car were stolen.
On September 25, 2007, Anthony Hassan Russell, Correa, OXLEY, and Ashley Lamont Bost, 20, of Raleigh, North Carolina, armed with the Mossburg 12-gauge shotgun, the Glock 9-millimeter pistol, and an Astra .357 revolver that Anthony Terrell Russell had given to OXLEY, traveled to another residence in Raleigh where they believed illegal drugs were being stored. Bost stayed in the car while OXLEY, Correa, and Anthony Hassan Russell entered the residence. The occupants, five adults and three children, were held at gunpoint, while a male adult victim was taken upstairs to retrieve drugs and money. Cash in the amount of $1,000 was turned over and the defendants left the residence.
Mr. Holding commented, "Countless times on television and in the newspaper we have seen the ill-effects of illegal drugs in the community. Here, again, is another example of these ill-effects. My office, along with law enforcement, continuously works to put an end to illegal drugs in our communities."
The sentencings for the other co-defendants are set for June and July of 2009.
Investigation of the case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Raleigh Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Eric Goulian served as prosecutor for the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Heidi Klum's Topless Photos Scandal: Model Plans to Sue For Privacy Invasion
Heidi Klum has decided to take a page from Kate Middleton's book and get revenge on a photographer who snapped a few pics of the supermodel topless.
The Project Runway host is reportedly distraught over pictures of herself not wearing a bikini top that were recently published in a French magazine and is now considering suing the paparazzo who caught her in the nude.
In light of recent news, the case sounds awfully familiar and according to TMZ, Heidi hopes to use Kate's invasion of privacy as an example for her own case. Just like the Duchess of Cambridge, Heidi claims that the photographer violated her right to privacy because she was in a private, secluded area at the time the pictures were snapped.
What do you think? Do celebrities have the right to sue or should they know better than to go outside topless, even if it is in the "privacy" of their own property?

Game One Box Score
Game Two Box Score
Worcester, Mass. - Bucknell closed out its four-game series with Holy Cross by sweeping Sunday's doubleheader, 3-1 and 4-1, at Freshman Field. The Bison used three homer in the second game to score all four runs and secure the weekend sweep.
In the first game senior Mary Beth Ryan (Holden, Mass.) led off the bottom of the first with a solo homer to right center to take a 1-0 lead at the end of the inning. Bucknell answered with a run in the top of the second when Jennifer James hit a fly foul to the second baseman to bring in Megan Fink, who reached base on balls.
The Bison put another runner across home plate in the fourth inning when Jill Pompeii grounded out to the short stop, but in Erin Curatola from third, who doubled to right field to reach base. Curatola hit an RBI single through the left side to bring in an insurance run in the top of the seventh for a final score of 3-1.
Senior Michelle Greene (Woburn, Mass.) (4-9) took the loss for the Crusaders after working the first four innings and allowing two runs on two hits, while walking eight Bison. In relief, sophomore Sheena Stangler (Bremerton, Wash.) threw three innings, striking out five and allowing only one run on four hits. Taking the win for Bucknell was Julie Williams (4-5), who pitched five innings, giving up one run on three hits and fanning three.
After a scoreless first inning, the Bison jumped on the board when Kris Devore slugged a solo-home run to right field. Freshman Jayme Elliott (Gardena, Calif.) spoiled starting pitcher Lisa Vaccaro's no-hitter when she bunted out a single.
Bucknell put two more runs on the board in the fifth when Lauren Wible hit a two-run dinger to right center, increasing the Bision's lead to three.
In the bottom of the inning, junior Nicole Dessingue (Schaghticoke, N.Y.) blasted her first career-homer to center field to cut into Bucknell's lead for a score of 3-1. The Bison matched Holy Cross' run in the seventh when James hit solo homer for a final score of 4-1.
Sophomore Lindsey MacNeil (Plymouth, N.H.) threw her fifth complete game. She struck out three and walked four, while allowing four runs on four hits. Lisa Vaccaro worked seven innings, striking out two Crusaders and allowing one run on two hits for the victory.
Holy Cross (7-24 overall, 3-13 Patriot League) hosts Rhode Island on Tuesday, April 19, for a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m. on Freshman Field.

A small chance of rain might offer a brief respite from the heat on Saturday, but a lack of winds will make for a humid Sunday if it does fall.
Today will be hot and dry with a high temperature of around 89 degrees, but the area will see a 20 percent chance of rain beginning this evening that will carry over to a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms throughout the day on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service graphical forecast data.
Vince Godon, a NWS meteorologist in Grand Forks, said if the weather does get wet on Saturday it's hard to tell how much will fall.
"In convection in the summer, you can have a couple inches in one spot and a mile away have hardly anything," Godon said.
Wind speeds will be light over the weekend, and should a thunderstorm pass through, the lack of a breeze and the resulting humidity could make for some uncomfortable air.
Saturday's high will be 85 and the chance of rain will drop to 10 percent while the temps will see a low of 63.
Sunday's high will be 86 and hot and dry without a Saturday rain, or hot and humid with it.
"The crops are starting to contribute to some of the humidity as well now," said Godon.
Sunday night holds a 10 percent chance and a low of 67.
Starting next week, Monday will have a high of 88 and a 34 percent chance of rain that will decrease throughout the day, and early projections show dry conditions for Wednesday, the Fourth of July.

Nuclear power by wikimedia.org
Nuclear energy is
produced when atoms of a fissile material, such as uranium-235,
are split in a controlled chain reaction. The heat that
is generated is used to boil water, produce steam, and drive
a steam turbine. Physicist Bernard Cohen calculated the
useful lifetime of nuclear power in the billions of years
- longer than the life of the sun itself (which ultimately
powers other renewables), and subsequently stated that this
should qualify nuclear power as a renewable resource.
Of all the known energy sources, nuclear energy has perhaps
the lowest initial impact on the environment, especially
in relation to kilowatts produced, because nuclear plants
do not emit harmful greenhouse gases, require a relatively
small footprint, and effectively mitigate other impacts.
The downside is that it produces waste that is radioactive
for 10,000+ years, the storage of which presents some very
difficult and dangerous long term challenges.
Impacts on birds
Because the areas around nuclear power plants and their
cooling ponds are so clean, some plants have developed them
as wetlands that provide nesting areas for waterfowl and
other birds. In fact, such endangered birds as Osprey, Peregrine
Falcons, Bald Eagles, and Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers, have
found a home at nuclear power plants. Some nuclear plants
also have programs to protect species that are not endangered,
such as Eastern Bluebirds, Wood Ducks, American Kestrels,
Wild Turkeys, and Ring-necked Pheasant.
Clearly, there are
many huge potential negative impacts to birds and other
wildlife from radiation poisoning in the case of nuclear
catastrophe, but these are outside the scope of this document.

Dove Teaches Women That We Are More Beautiful Than We Think
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and today women are tougher on themselves than ever before. Take a look at a social experiment that explores the way individuals think they are perceived and the reality of how they actually are…
1. Dove shared:
Women are their own worst beauty critics. Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful. At Dove, we are committed to creating a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. So, we decided to conduct a compelling social experiment that explores how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see

Someone, some company should really translate everything about UO and put it all into a real world, an open world 3D environment
So many lame mmo games now-a-days just throwing mine-able ores as rocks out in the open and then having mods/addons such as "WOW" to mark every spawn location = wha'ts the point of even going out to mine...might as well just BUY GOLD.
Hell give me that cheat code for GOD mode and while you're at it pass the crack pipe too.

The days of hard core, elitist game sessions where it forces you to sit for hours at a time, like it was a second job... are a dead and gone. I do like these games at times, but there is a reason why these games do not succeed. I would ....NEVER.... sit and chop trees for an hour or two again in a virtual game. Or mine, smelt, etc. when it takes more than 20 minutes of my time.
Clicking a single button once every 5 seconds for 15 minutes strait while watching your back, knowing full well if you get ganked you start over from scratch - is not fun for the masses. It's not even a challenge. I think some Facebook games offer more challenge than that.
For sandbox/simulations to succeed, they cannot be just simple clones of what we had in the past with a 3d engine and new textures slapped on. They need to solve the problems of why we had the time sinks in the first place and replace them with challenging activities that allow your character to grow.
Very few "sandbox" games have stepped away from the old model though. One of the more obvious ones would be Eve. They forced the player to get out there and play by not allowing skill gains by doing repeditive tasks. (NOTE: not referring to the gameplay itself, just referring to the fact that they tried ways to remove the skill grind)
Also, on a side note - UO had many, many, many external applications that were legitimate and even endorsed by Origins and subsequently EA. UOAssist, UOAutomap, etc.
