THE Resident Doctors Association of Zambia (RDAZ) has condemned the recent assault on a medical doctor by a parent at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH).
In a statement signed by RDAZ secretary general Francis Mupeta said it was unfortunate that there were some members of the public that have turned to assaulting the already-strained medical personnel, who were working at saving the lives of patients.
Dr Mupeta cited the example of the recent physical assault of a paediatric doctor by a member of the public, who felt that the doctor's decision to attend to a more critically ill child over his who was already in a stable condition was unfair.
"As RDAZ, we condemn in the strongest terms such acts of violence by this assailant. I must reiterate that triaging of critically ill patients is a routine procedure in an emergency room and in this case, the doctor did not err professionally and morally," he said.
He said the action taken by the member of the public, who has only been identified as a Mr Mwila, was totally uncalled for.
Dr Mupeta said members of the public should be aware that doctors would always uphold professional conduct in the manner in which they carry out their duties, despite working under extremely difficult conditions.
"Members of the public should be aware that our doctors are highly competent and professional in their duties, despite working under extremely difficult conditions, therefore, if anyone has complaints against any of our members, there are channels to follow in such circumstances," he said.
"As an association, we shall not condone any harassment of our members in whichever way, whether verbal or physical and we shall pursue this and any similar incidence until justice is done," he added.
Dr Mupeta has also condemned harassment of medical personnel by some political figures, and advised politicians to appreciate the challenges under which health personnel operated.
He appealed to Government to protect health professionals against unwarranted attacks from both members of the public as well as interference from politicians.
He said failure by the Government or society to provide security for health personnel would call for drastic measures from his association.

Belief has always laid at the heart of The X-Files. After all, one of the most famous icons from the show (where the movie gets its subtitle from) is Mulder's poster of a UFO with the phrase "I Want to Believe†printed under it. That desire to believe, fueled by his sister's abduction by aliens when they were children, along with his desire to make sure that no one else has to go through that kind of pain, drives Mulder's every action. Most of the time this is an asset; it's what made him such a good agent, but at times his desire to believe can get the better of him, and sometimes will have Mulder seeing monsters where there are only windmills. »»

She has been voted a better leader than Churchill, I agree she was.

Gaza Strip — Egypt's Prime Minister Hisham Kandil arrived in the Gaza Strip on Friday, to show support to Palestinians, after Israel struck at more than 130 targets overnight, while militants fired 11 rockets from Gaza.
Israel said it would cease fire during the visit if Hamas did too. But rockets fired from Gaza hit several sites in southern Israel and the Israeli air force responded with an attack on the house of Hamas's commander for southern Gaza, a Hamas source said.
At least 18 Palestinians and three Israelis have been killed since Israel began its offensive on Wednesday.
Israel killed a Palestinian military leader on Wednesday, and started drafting 16,000 reserve troops, sparking intense violence and rumours of an invasion.

In an effort to make sure Starkville lives up to its title of Mississippi's "Healthiest Hometown," one local woman organized a week of free exercise activities for the whole city.
"I'm a teacher, so I've noticed that a lot of the kids are becoming obese and Mississippi is still ranked the highest for obesity in the United States. I wanted a way to allow people to be familiar and understand what's available to them within the city," Hillary Cassibry said. "When I first moved up here, I wasn't aware of hardly anything that was available as far as group exercise. A lot of people do better when they're able to exercise in a group and have that person there that's motivating them. This will be a way for people to find that group that they can fit in with as far as needs of exercise."
Cassibry organized the very first Get Fit Starkville week — five days of easy and free outdoor exercise activities. All the events start in the evening and Cassibry said will be great for families looking to get outside and be active.
The first three events will start at Boardtown Bikes at 6 p.m. daily. Monday will kick off the week with a mountain bike trail ride.
Tuesday will feature a two or six mile run around Starkville. All running levels are more than welcome to attend.
"If people come and say they can't do two miles, we can start a group for maybe a half mile or one mile. It's totally flexible," Cassibry said.
Wednesday's event will be a bike ride around Starkville. On Thursday, everyone is invited to visit one of their local parks to get outside and play. To view a complete list of parks in Starkville, visit http://www.starkvilleparks.com [3].
The final event will be on Friday with Starkville in Motion's bike to work day.
The ride will begin at First United Methodist Church at 7:15 a.m. and end at the student union on the Mississippi State University campus.
For more information on the events or to RSVP, check out the Get Fit Starkville event on Facebook.

In two short pages, the straightforward and un-needy menu at Nargis Restaurant Westlands sums it up simply - the food is endearing and enduring. A glance of the menu may bring back nostalgic memories - of the original Nargis Restaurant on Nairobi's River Road that opened its doors soon after Kenya's independence - proving that good comfort food is timeless and spans generations.
Founded by a chef who mastered his culinary skills in the UK, Nargis' creator helped free Indian food from its high-end Kenyan stereotypes and introduced a hungry public, who knew little of it, to the way of grilling over charcoal - letting the juices of the meats drip and sizzle on the hot red coals. Nargis' Chicken Tikka to this day, is still the institution's most famous dish; tender, moist and full of flavourful, the recipe credits the secret sauce passed over a generation.
Nargis Restaurant Westlands is located on School Lane in Westlands neighbourhood of Nairobi, Kenya. The average meal costs Sh 1,500. To book, click here. Special thanks to Eat Out Kenya.
With zippy service, Nargis is a great mid-range eating-out option in Nairobi. Now with two branches in Naiorbi's Industrial Area and swanky Westlands, Nargis looks to draw a whole new generation of grilled-Indian fanatics.
The instinct for good comfort food is on full display here - no showy designs and glossy modern furnishings - simply outfitted, Nargis' décor allows the food to sell itself without masking it. Bare plastic patio tables with yellow, red and blue umbrellas scatter in the garden. Under a more permanent metal set-up, more family-sized tables fill up the covered al fresco area, making it possible to enjoy the outdoors even during the worst rainstorms. Several colourful Koi fish swim in a fish tank sitting next to the communal hand washing station. An old hardtop camper that most likely belonged on the back of a pickup truck rests in the corner and acts as a novel children dining and play space. Inside, the converted home boasts private rooms for more intimate meals and spacious seating in the main dining room. The interior décor is simple and bland like a home of a sweet elderly relative. Everyone craves familiarity's cushioned embrace; and Nargis is definitely where you can let your hair down and leave the six-inch heels back at home.
Nargis' menu knows its identity. It's not trying to be everything one wants it to be, nor to be everything to everyone. It's precise and entertainingly short. If you don't like grilled and barbeque Indian food, then I guess you're sitting at the wrong restaurant.
One of the best things was the fresh Tangerine Juice (Sh 100). Like a reminder that the drink is squeezed fresh, cut segments of the tangerine's orange flesh float in the honey sweet, refreshing and lovely juice. And, as if you had doubted...right?!
There were the 6 Daal Bhajias (Sh 250), deep-fried until a golden crispy brown, served in an aluminum dish with a coconut, mint and yoghurt dipping sauce in the center. Who said vegetarian dishes were boring? The Chicken Wings (Sh 400) were sweet, spicy and savoury. Flavours of ginger and soya sauce left the palette wanting more.
For the mains, there was the Paneer Roll (Sh 350), a naan stuffed with cubes of paneer tikka accompanied with chips and salad - an ideal quick lunch. The Fish Tikka (Sh 400) had great texture, the moist flesh flaked with ease and it's slightly charred marinated crust exploded with flavour. The Family Grill (Sh 2,000) serves four adults and includes 2 orders of chips and a sampling of Chicken Tikka, Boneless Chicken Tikka, Seekh Kebab and Mushkaki. Just when you thought meat could not get any tenderer, the Boneless Chicken Tikka and Mushkaki prove you wrong. Full of robust flavours and aromas from spices and Nargis' secret marinade, my mouth waters at the thought.
A word of caution: when your waiter asks you if you'd like it mild, medium or hot; my suggestion is to order one level lower than what you would usually ask for. Chefs at Nargis are heavy on the chilli. Or, you can always help yourself to the homemade tamarind and mint yoghourt sauces on the table to cool off the heat - there's a lot of it.
And yet for the mis-steps in décor, I can still see how something as purposely un-posh and thought through as Nargis could work, and work well. The daily steady lunch crowds stream in through the blue gate, and on the weekends, getting a seat during dinner is a challenge. If you don't know where School Lane is, it's time to familiarize yourself because Nargis Restaurant Westlands is waiting to win you over.

Rwanda's leading rock gospel band "Beauty for Ashes," is planning to upload a series of videos on the internet that will educate artistes on how to use music equipment and other instruments to produce better music.
"This will take our music industry to another level. It will be easier for artistes to learn and observe everything their field requires," said Desire Ukwiye, one of the managers of the band.
"We encourage all artistes to use this chance to promote their songs not only in East Africa but also on the international scene as the internet is a great place to do that."
The group, that has so far released an album called Siriprize which consisted of ten songs, is planning to launch its second album.
One of the members of the band, Olivier Habamuremyi, said they have put a lot of effort in promoting their music on the internet to make it easier for people to access their music.

Out of the 1,985 housing units built at the Lideta Site currently 150 houses floated for tender.
Condominium shops brought in a record 56,000 Br a square metre offer in a tender floated by the Addis Ababa Houses Development and Administration Agency; the floor price was 6,606Br.
The tender which floated on October 30, 2012, and closed a month later, attracted more than 14,000 bidders, including individuals, banks and insurance companies.
Previously, the highest offer was 15,000 Br for the Jemo site about a year and a half ago, acknowledged Fasil Assefa, Information Technology System Administrator at the Addis Abeba Houses Development Project Bureau.
There are 1,985 housing units at the Lideta Site, but the tender was floated for 150 of them. The closing date was pushed by one week to the end of November due to the high turnout of bidders, according to Anteneh Admasu, general manager of the Agency.
"Business people are beginning to understand the potential that populated condominium areas present," said Anteneh.
The winners of the tender will be announced by the end of December; they will be expected to pay 50pc in advance and sign an agreement with the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) to pay the remaining 50pc within five years before they can own the house, says Fasil.
Shops are located on the ground and first floors of 10 seven-storey buildings and on the first floor on 39 four-storey buildings. They range from 20 to 117sqm in area.
Starting as a pilot project in 2003 under the Local area Development Program (LDP), the Lideta housing project is the ninth round in condominium construction for the city administration. The city administration has prepared 45 local area development plans in all 10 districts.
The program is being used to rehabilitate and develop slum areas, to address the housing problem and create job opportunities.
The city has built 80,246 houses since the program came to action, out of which over 600 houses are sold to shop owners. Currently, there are also 95,000 houses under construction, according to Fasil.

We took a few days off work to head out to the Anza-Borrego desert to do some scouting for our upcoming series, Moto Americana. I was also hoping to work on a few off-road skills, sand and rock being the things needed work, so this area is perfect to learn more.
Having done some riding out here before, we were happy to speed over the bits we have done, and on to the unknown:
Joe speeding across the Clark Dry Lake
One of our friends from Seattle came down for the ride, on a Honda 450, I was a bit envious of the lighter bike on this trail, this was after my first spill on the sandy wash on Rockhouse Canyon Road.
Further up near the end of the trail, I tried to paddle around some rocks, bad idea, I paddled myself into the rocks, of course!
My bike likes being horizontal for some reason. I'm building up my courage to ride over these standing up, and I know, it will take time to learn, but it's still frustrating.
Here is Joe along some of the further sections of Rockhouse Canyon Road.
In a rare moment, my bike is upright! We head down Rockhouse Canyon Road. It is a real shame this road doesn't go through to anything, but once you pass the Dry Lake, it's beautiful up in the hills.
We then head over to Grapevine Canyon, a super big bike friendly road, beautiful views and nice packed sandy roads.
Grapevine pops you out somewhere along Montezuma Valley Road which is a quick trip into Jullian for some pie!
Some of the great cactus along route, don't want to run into any of these!
The other area we wanted to check out was Pinyon Mountain Road, some other friends had recently road it, and we wanted to see if it was big bike friendly.
At the top of the ridge, it was looking good.
Sandy, but good
Beautiful view of the valley below. The other great thing about this area is you'll see lots of military aircraft buzzing around, doing lots of low flying!
Further along the trail we come to the "Squeeze"
A view from the bottom of the "Squeeze"
Our friend Andre first, on the 450
Then Joe on the F800
Andre and Joe helped me take the bike down, no way I could ride that without falling over again....
After the "Squeeze" there are still a few rocky sections before you get to the Pinyon Drop-off. It was getting late in the day, and there was no way we could traverse these sections and still ride the 20 miles out of the Fish Creek wash. We decided it was a good time to turn back, of course, you can imagine trying to get those bikes back up the "squeeze", it was not an easy task!
View from camp at Palm Canyon, very expensive to stay here, next time we'll camp out by the dry lake. Notice the residual dust from the storm from 2 days previous.
A better view of the sand as you look straight up at the night sky. This area is amazing, listening to the coyotes at night, the views, the area, the riding. Beautiful!

Cool, I love Anza Borrego. Nice photos of the dust. Used to run all over the place in my old FJ40 and FJ Cruiser. Looking forward to exploring it on two wheels now. Are there any riding clubs in the area that you can recommend. I'm a new rider in San Diego.

Ben Smith details Admiral Dennis Blair's "outreach" attempts to try to convince members of Congress that Chas Freeman isn't so bad after all. It is not surprising that his pleas are falling on deaf ears. What is astounding is that Blair has now jettisoned the Obama administration's cover and, with it, a great deal of Blair's own credibility. No longer can the administration say, "We didn't vet him." No, this is the person the administration and Blair specifically are determined to fight for.
At this point one wonders why sanity has not prevailed. Marty Peretz contends:
There are many outraged Democratic congressional figures, outraged at least as much by Freeman's ideological and strategic sympathy for "People's China" as by his solidarity with the Saudis and rank hostility to Israel. The outrage is surely there, however. President Obama would be better off acting now than when it will look like an embarrassing defeat for him.
If there are "many outraged Democratic congressional figures," where are they? And why have they not prevailed upon the administration to reverse course? That should be one interesting Senate Armed Services Committee hearing tomorrow.

The first point is security. For one night and a day there was a strange drunk man staying in front of our door. The staff knew about it but didn't do anything for a long time. Location is not in the center and quite far away from any store or farmacy. More than that, the staff doesn't have even elementary medical stuff, so it is better not to get sick there. The room where I stayed was quite clean, but the building was terrible, smelling like old hospital.Read More

In a sharply scripted comic drama, Brittany Snow stars as the pensive Emma, a girl caught between two quite different brothers. The younger, Peter, is sweet, polite and inexperienced whilst his older brother Caleb is cynical, hurting from a failed relationship, and prone to lashing out with a blistering tongue – especially at women. When Peter introduces new girlfriend Emma to Caleb, her resemblance to his ex brings back mixed emotions, complicated by Emma's obvious attraction to the tough man in pain.
What could easily have disintegrated into a stereotypical tale of a dysfunctional family is kept both smartly funny and poignantly real by the depth of the performances and the quality of the script from first time writer/director Lee Toland Krieger.

Introduction to Cancer Therapy (Radiation Oncology)
Shortly after the discovery of the x-ray by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895, the "powerful rays" were being used to effectively treat cancer.
Today, an increasing number of patients have their cancers treated successfully, with fewer side effects and preservation of normal tissue function, using radiation therapy.
Modern technology has combined the use of three-dimensional imaging technology, computerized treatment planning and high-energy x-ray machines to make more precise treatment possible. Professionals who use this technology or the information obtained from it include:
- Radiation oncologists
- Radiation therapists
- Radiation oncology nurses
- Medical radiation physicists
- Dosimetrists
- Social workers
- Dietitians
Click on any of the radiology professionals listed above to learn more about that specialty.
What is radiation therapy?
About 60 percent of cancer patients are treated with radiation at some time during their course of treatment.
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy radiation to treat cancer. A radiation oncologist may use radiation to cure cancer or to relieve a cancer patient's pain or alleviate other symptoms due to the cancer.
Radiation therapy works because the radiation destroys the cancer cells' ability to reproduce, and the body naturally gets rid of these cells. Radiation affects cancer cells by damaging their DNA, so that the cancer cells can no longer divide and grow. Radiation is most effective at killing cells that are actively dividing. Cancer cells are more vulnerable to radiation for two key reasons: they divide more rapidly than normal cells, and they do not repair this damage as effectively as normal cells.
A radiation oncologist may use external beam radiation therapy generated by a linear accelerator (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=linac) (a machine that accelerates electrons to produce x-rays or gamma rays). Proton therapy (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=protonthera) is another form of external beam radiation therapy that uses cyclotrons or synchrotrons to produce charged atoms that destroy tumors.
Radiation may also be given with radioactive sources that are put inside the patient brachytherapy. The radioactive sources are sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters, and implanted directly into or near a tumor on a temporary or permanent basis. Brachytherapy (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=brachy) is a common treatment for cancers of the prostate (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=pros_cancer), uterus, cervix or breast (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=breast-cancer-therapy).
Some cancer patients may be treated with radiation alone instead of surgery. Prostate cancer and larynx cancer are often treated in this manner.
Sometimes radiation therapy is part of a patient's treatment. When radiation therapy is used after surgery, it is called adjuvant treatment. For example, a woman may have radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery. She can be cured of her cancer and still keep her breast.
Radiation can also be given before surgery and is then called neoadjuvant or induction radiation therapy, either to improve cure rates or make surgery easier to perform. Examples of this approach include treatment for esophageal, rectal or lung cancers.
Patients can be treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy before surgery. Combined treatment may allow a patient to have less radical surgery than would otherwise be required. For example, some bladder cancer patients can keep their bladder if they are treated with all three treatments rather than only one treatment. Chemotherapy may be used simultaneously with radiation therapy without surgery to improve the local response and reduce metastatic disease; this is known as combined modality therapy.
In some cases, such as lung, head and neck or cervix cancers, combined modality therapy may be the only treatment needed without surgery.
Since radiation can damage normal cells, it is important that the radiation dose be targeted precisely to the cancer. Imaging also helps with treatment planning, allowing precise radiation delivery that spares surrounding, healthy tissue and minimizes side effects and complications.
An advanced form of three-dimensional (3-D) conformal radiation, called intensity modulated radiation therapy or IMRT (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=imrt), more precisely conforms the dose to the tumors, allowing safer delivery of higher than conventional doses of radiation. Image-guided radiation therapy or IGRT (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=IGRT) is often used in conjunction with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to deliver precise radiation doses to a malignant tumor or even specific areas within the tumor. Recent developments like IGRT even allow for adjustments during treatment in areas of the body that are prone to movement, such as the lungs, and tumors located close to critical organs and tissues.
Other techniques that enable ultra-precise doses of radiation to tumors include stereotactic radiosurgery (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=stereotactic), which uses 3-D imaging to determine the exact coordinates of a tumor. The highly focused gamma rays or x-rays then converge on the tumor to treat it. The Gamma Knife® (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=gamma_knife) is a treatment option that uses radioactive cobalt sources to focus multiple beams of radiation on a small area. Linear accelerators can also be used to deliver stereotactic radiation therapy to the brain. Other parts of the body can be treated as well, and are considered stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Emerging areas for using SBRT include lung, liver and bone.
Radiation can also be used to cut off blood flow to a tumor in vascular organs like the liver. For instance, radioembolization (www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=radioembol) uses microspheres filled with radioactive isotopes to block a tumor's blood supply and starve it.
In addition to being a treatment option for cancer, radiation therapy also is palliative; that is, it can help reduce pain and suffering in patients with advanced cancer. Patients with significant pain, trouble walking or difficulty eating because of a tumor can see an improved quality of life through palliative radiation.

M10′s fish/shortboard hybrid glides through flat spots but still turns tight.
Board: M10
Shaper: Geoff Rashe
Model: The Puck
Board type: Fish/shortboard hybrid
Size: 5'5″
Width: 19 1/4″
Thickness: 2 1/4″
Height: 5'9″
Weight: 145 lbs
Optimal Conditions: Head-high and under; anything from a bowly beachbreak to a mellow point break.
Shaper's Notes: "The Puck is basically a mix between a fish and a shortboard. Most fish-type boards are wide and have a straight outline. This is like a fish for surfing in the pocket. We moved the wing up, and that makes for a real straight rail line from the wing forward. There's still plenty of width up in front, but where your back foot sits on the tail, it's pulled in more, so it makes the tail into more of a control zone. The outline helps the board go fast in mushy waves, but it's very maneuverable. Plus, for waves that are head-high or smaller, it's great to have a board that fits into the wave face well.
Construction: Although it looks just like your average surfboard, this is actually a combination of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) blank glassed with epoxy resin. In fact, Geoff has switched entirely over to making all his boards out of EPS foam and epoxy resin. The boards are not only very light, but also strong. "The glassing is a lot stronger than with polyester resin," says Geoff. "I've heard of people breaking their leash at Steamer Lane, had their board wash into the rocks, and not gotten any dings. But you'll still get foot dents just as much as with a traditional polyester board. For pressure dents, they're similar to a regular board with a superlight blank, but for getting dings they're much more resilient."
The Puck also has a PVC stringer instead of wood. "Putting a PVC stringer in there gives a flex pattern similar to that of a polyester board glassed with four-ounce cloth and a wood stringer," says Geoff.
Concave: Single to double concave, fairly standard.
Rocker: Not super flat, like most fish-type shapes. More of a medium rocker, somewhere between a fish and shortboard rocker.
Glassing: It's very lightweight with epoxy resin, but also durable. It's got two six-ounce fiberglass layers on the deck and a single six-ounce layer on the bottom.
Tail: Swallowtails just look good on these boards, but the theory is that they're good for wide-tailed boards to give some grab. It's almost like a claw at the tail.
Fins: This particular board has the Future Fins setup. Geoff recommends a slightly smaller trailing fin for his small-wave boards.

That is the point of this blog. Looking back at the history of the Steel Cage that really doesn't get the love it deserves anymore since they designed the hell in a cell and the chamber. A lot

New 4600 Series Disc Rippers help professional farmers overcome yield-robbing soil compaction challenges; sizes and mixes residue throughout field
DULUTH, Ga. (August 10, 2011) — AGCO, Your Agriculture Company (NYSE:AGCO), a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment is pleased to introduce the all-new Sunflower® 4600 Series Disc Rippers. Built for professional farmers in search of a rugged machine to handle challenging soil and residue conditions, the 4600 Series combines deep tillage with a proven disc harrow design for primary-tillage needs during the fall season. The 4600 Series is built on a solid frame with heavy-duty disc harrows and shanks designed to deeply penetrate heavily compacted soils while easily slicing through tough crop residue to maximize crop yield potential.
"One of the primary factors needed to maximize yield potential is a good soil structure conducive to vigorous root production," explains Tom Draper, Sunflower seeding and tillage product manager. "Compacted soils, however, can significantly limit root system development of any crop. And, as farmers increase their crop yields, there becomes a need to address and manage more crop residue in the field. That's where the Sunflower 4600 Series Disc Rippers comes into the equation. These machines are capable of tackling the tillage demands of corn-on-corn production in working widths large enough to maximize a tractor's horsepower."
Available in four models, the 4600 Series is built on a heavy-duty frame designed to withstand the high stress of aggressive tillage practices. The Series' main frame is constructed of strong 4-inch by 8-inch, 3/8-inch thick, steel tubing that's cross braced and gusseted for added rigidity and trouble-free maintenance. The 4600 Series Disc Rippers cutting widths range from model SF4610-07 at 14-feet to the SF4630-13 model — the largest flexible frame disc ripper in the industry — at 26-feet.
The 4600 Series is available in models ranging from 7 to 13 shanks that deeply penetrate and fracture the soil to eliminate compacted soil conditions. Shank spacing is set at 24-inch intervals and designed to handle hard soil conditions with a 3,500 lb. maximum trip pressure setting. Meanwhile, chromium carbide shin guards protect the 1-1/4-inch high-strength abrasion-resistant steel shanks from wear.
The disc harrow section of these tillage tools are comprised of two ranks of individually mounted, industry-leading 28-inch diameter by 5/16-inch thick disc blades that easily slice through and redistribute heavy crop residue. The number of blades across the four-model 4600 lineup varies; from the SF4610-07 model with 20 blades to the 28-blade model SF4610-09, to the 36-blade model SF4610-11 and the 40-blade SF4610-13 model. The operating depth of the disc blades can be adjusted remotely between 0- and 8-inches from within the tractor cab.
"The 4600 Series does an exceptional job of primary surface tillage, fracturing subsoil compaction while sizing and mixing residue throughout the entire working depth of the disc blades," adds Draper. "Sunflower has long been a leader in residue management and soil preparation, and the 4600 Series Disc Ripper lineup only adds to the availability of Sunflower tillage and seeding products that meet our customers varying needs."
Three different optional finishing harrow attachments — H.D. Coil-tine Harrow, Two-bar Coil-tine Harrow and Reel and Five-bar Spike-tooth Harrow — allow farmers to tailor the 4600 Series Disc Ripper to varying soil types and conditions to level residue and reduce clod size.
"The launch of the new seeding and tillage products from AGCO this year may very well be the largest introduction of new products to the marketplace by any seeding and tillage company in North American agricultural history," says Draper. "These new machines demonstrate AGCO's ongoing commitment to the North American seeding and tillage business."
Sunflower, known as the "originators of flexible tillage tools," is the seeding and tillage division of AGCO. Sunflower is known around the world as a producer and marketer of top-quality products with exceptional customer support. Quality and service are what today's professional producers expect from their equipment and what Sunflower continues to provide.

Hennigan Talks About Buying Out Glen Davis
Magic Insider
Follow @ marypazstevens
Orlando Magic's General Manager Rob Hennigan talked to the media about the Magic's decision to buyout Glen Davis. The Magic decided to buy-out the 6-foot-9 forward after not being able to trade him before the NBA's trading deadline.
Davis did not fit the Magic's system or what they want to be about. Both parties were frustrated with each other and parting ways was best for both. Davis can go sign with a contending team and the Magic can move on with their rebuilding process.

"The Road Less Traveled"
Dr. George C. Nield, Williamsburg, Virginia
June 2, 2011
Aerospace Today and Tomorrow Symposium
Good morning, everyone.
If you're like most people I know, every once in a while you end up at a crossroads of some kind – in a situation in which you are facing two or more options on how to proceed, and you need to decide what you are going to do. Back in 1915, Robert Frost wrote a poem describing such a time in his own life, when he had come upon two roads that diverged in a yellow wood. After looking down one as far as he could, he ended up taking the one less traveled, and observed that that had made all the difference. More recently, another philosopher of sorts, Yogi Berra, advised, "When you arrive at a fork in the road, take it."
It seems to me that today the nation is facing a very important fork in the road, in terms of how it approaches the management and execution of our human spaceflight program. Next month, after Atlantis completes our final Space Shuttle mission, the United States will no longer have the capability to launch its own astronauts into orbit. Instead, we'll need to rely on our Russian partners to sell us seats on their Soyuz spacecraft, at $62 million a pop, in order to get our crewmembers to and from the International Space Station. That's not exactly the ideal position for us to be in, and it's a predicament that is likely to last for 4–5 years, perhaps even longer.
Going forward, we could have the government design, build, and operate a new launch vehicle and spacecraft to replace the Shuttle. NASA could come up with the optimal design, contractors could be selected, and cost-plus contracts could be issued to do the work. After all, that's how we've always done it in the past. And that seems to be the approach favored by some people, both in the industry and in the Congress.
There is another way, though, an approach that has been recommended by three different Presidential commissions over the last 10 years. And that is for the government to increase its reliance on private industry.
Back in 2002, the President's Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry, which was chaired by Robert Walker, recommended that the government provide incentives to commercial space and observed that public space travel holds the potential for increasing launch demand and improvements in space launch reliability and reusability.
In June 2004, the President's Commission on Moon, Mars & Beyond, chaired by Pete Aldridge, noted that "NASA's relationship to the private sector must be decisively transformed." It recommended that NASA procure all of its low-Earth orbit launch services competitively on the commercial market.
The Review of U.S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee, chaired by Norm Augustine, concluded in its report in October of 2009, that "Commercial services to deliver crew to low-Earth orbit are within reach." It noted that while using such an approach would involve some risks, it could provide an "earlier capability at lower initial and lifecycle costs than government could achieve."
With those three reports as a backdrop, I am pleased to report that today, NASA is in the process of putting some of that advice into practice, of actually making things happen in a non-traditional way. The Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program is ongoing, contracts for the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) program have been awarded and performance-based milestones are being accomplished, and the Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program is already well underway, having entered the second phase of the program. And how are things working out so far? I think it's fair to say that while the benefits of commercial space are not yet fully proven, we have seen some very encouraging early results. If you look at what has been accomplished in the COTS program for a relatively modest government investment – the development of two new launch vehicles, two new spacecraft, assorted ground and flight systems, a successful orbital demonstration, and numerous ongoing reviews and other tests, it's a pretty impressive return on the taxpayers' dollars.
At the same time that NASA is working with industry on a commercial crew system for orbital transportation, several other companies are hard at work developing different vehicles, for a different mission, with different customers. I'm talking, of course, about suborbital space tourism. Given what is happening in the industry today, I think it is quite likely, that within the next several years, we will see multiple companies flying paying customers to the edge of space, at altitudes above 100 km, several times per week. That will mean that we could have hundreds of suborbital launches taking place every year, with thousands of people being able to experience spaceflight firsthand. No longer will astronauts be limited to government employees who are highly trained, carefully screened, and sometimes mysteriously chosen for a once or twice in a lifetime assignment. Instead, if you can afford to buy a ticket, you'll have a chance to go. Although it will certainly be expensive at first, the price is likely to come down rapidly once competition kicks in. And even if you decide not to go yourself, there is a good chance you'll have friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family members who will take advantage of the opportunity to fulfill a life-long dream.
That kind of development is really going to change the way we think about human spaceflight. The emergence of a brand new sector of the industry will have its own set of challenges and opportunities, which I hope we get a chance to delve into during our discussion this morning.
We're fortunate today to have a diverse and well-qualified panel to talk about the full range of ongoing commercial space initiatives, including both commercial crew efforts, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles. You have the full biographies in your handouts, but let me briefly introduce our panelists.
John Elbon is the Vice President and Program Manager for Commercial Crew Programs at The Boeing Company.
Larry Williams is the Vice President for Strategic Relations for SpaceX.
Jeff Greason is President and co-founder of XCOR Aerospace.
James Murray is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of BOOSTER.
And Will Pomerantz is Vice President for Special Projects at Virgin Galactic.
Please welcome our distinguished panel.

This Anton Schneider cuckoo clock is made in Schonach Germany. It is hand-carved by the masters and has a very rich almond finish.
The cuckoo clock is decorated with three hand-carved birds that sit on both sides and one on top amongst the carved oak leaves and branches. During the call of cuckoo at the top and bottom of the hour the side birds will rock back and forth as though feeding the nest.
This cuckoo clock uses the brass, German Regula #34 mechanical movement which is very reliable and easy to service. The dial, numerals, hands and cuckoo bird are all made of wood to accent the clock. There are two cast iron weights that run the clock. They hang on a hook at the end of a chain which runs over the gears providing energy to the clock mechanism. It could be considered a green clock as it is very energy efficient. The chains are made of tarnish resistant brass.
At night time or for quiet hours there is a manual night shut-off switch on the left side of the clock. This cuckoo clock is covered by a 2 year warranty.

A nice, if outdated family Chinese restaurant with a fair array of non-Chinese items, including a handful of Korean choices and Polynesian appetizers; generally good food.
Some items aren't great; portion sizes can be a little skimpy for the price, and some items are bland in the flavor department. Decor is outdated.

Chinese Korean Williamsville
"Bamboo China shut its doors, as its owners decided to operate a take-out location elsewhere in Williamsville. We wish them the best of luck in their new restaurant."
When a restaurant opens up and does a good job, it can continue to grow and improve, or stay pretty much the same. Bamboo China is every bit the restaurant that it was 20-some years ago, a Main Street in Williamsville locale that has continued to offer well-above-par Chinese cooking for years alongside a nondescript collection of Korean dishes. Though everything from the menus to the decor appears to have remained literally and exactly the same from when the place first opened, it's hard to fault cooking that yields generous portion sizes and rich, authentic Chinese flavors. At a different time, and in a different place, Bamboo China might come across as a relic just waiting to be replaced with something cleaner and fancier, but given the somewhat sorry state of Chinese cuisine in this area, we view it as a positive holdout in almost all the ways that really matter.
The Story: Dishes are typically served family style, with enough food that two people could actually share their dishes rather than starving each other. The menu, still laced with the sorts of Polynesian appetizers that have gradually disappeared from "authentic" Chinese restaurants, lets fans of Pu-Pu Platters and teriyaki beef sticks have as much fun as those seeking multi-person seafood soups, traditional Chinese specialties, or plates that sound Chinese but actually borrow more from Korean classics such as Chap Chae. Though it could stand to be updated, it's a menu guaranteed not to offend the palates of true Chinese aficionados or those whose greatest thrills are in the sweet and sour, chop suey, or fried rice categories.
Highs: Some of the interesting items on the menu include standard appetizers like Steamed Dumplings (6/$3.50), Beef Teriyaki sticks (4/$4), and Hot and Sour Soup ($3.25/quart), all of which are done nicely if not spectacularly. Lucky Family ($10), known elsewhere as Happy Family, combines chicken, pork, lobster, and shrimp in reasonable quantities with mixed, sauteed vegetables and brown sauce. Chicken dishes, such as the classic deep-fried, tomato and chili sauce-covered General Tso's Chicken ($10), are generally very good, as is the Mu Shu Chicken with pancakes ($7). Mongolian Beef ($9) is also competent. Notably, two sections of the menu are devoted to "Northern Style" and "Soft Noodles" items, which surprisingly include Korean dishes such as Jop Tong, Tsa Yo, and Kim Chi, plus a few Chinese oddities such as shark's fin and braised sea cucumber.
Lows: Though we were generally impressed by the quality of the table service here, a recent take-out order wasn't quite as good. A Sizzling Rice Soup ($4.25) was sparse on seafood and bland in flavor; similarly, a Seafood in Bird's Nest ($13) featured small pieces of lobster, scallops, shrimp and vegetables in brown sauce with crispy noodles, but wasn't generous in portion size or especially delicious; we've been far more impressed with similar dishes at Sun Garden.
Additionally, it's worth noting that Bamboo China looks and feels a bit like the Chinese restaurant that time forgot, with a somewhat relaxed attitude and outdated ambience that would be as well placed in a Twilight Zone episode as on Main Street near professional offices and shopping. A bar area in the entry looks as if it hasn't been actively used to serve alcohol in some time, though the kitchen has bottled beers and other drinks aplenty. Though the expenditures might be too much for the owners to bear, updating this place's look and feel would go a long way to bringing the experience up to par with the cooking.
The Verdict: Overall, we've found Bamboo China to be a better dine-in restaurant than a take-out one, but the quality of the food is generally good enough that you'd be hard-pressed to have a legitimately bad meal either inside or outside its doors. Affordable prices are offset only by portion sizes that vary unpredictably, so you're best off expecting to order both an appetizer and entree if you want to feel sated - order things you like, and you'll be satisfied, most likely not blown away.
Updated: On August 3, 2008, Bamboo China shut its doors, as its owners decided to operate a take-out location elsewhere in Williamsville. We wish them the best of luck in their new restaurant.

A NATURALLY occurring body chemical may help boost sexual function in impotent males.
Melatonin, a substance that helps set the body's internal clock, has been linked to sexual function in several studies, but the results have been unclear.
Filippo Drago and Lina Busa of the University of Catania Medical School in Italy studied rats who either couldn't get an erection or who lost interest during sex and didn't ejaculate. One hour before a mating test, they injected the animals with low doses of melatonin, between 10 and 100 micrograms per kilogram.
Melatonin helped both types of rats have sex and ejaculate. "If these findings can be confirmed in men," they write in

Westinghouse Savannah River Company is the Department of Energy contractor in charge of ITP. The Westinghouse staff at the Savannah River Site believed until recently that the principal cause of decomposition of TPB and generation of benzene is exposure of the TPB to the high level of radiation in the waste. That belief was based on results of full-scale tests conducted in 1983 that may have been misinterpreted, and on a decade of subsequent bench-scale tests using non-radioactive simulants (almost exclusively) rather than actual waste. The first large-scale operations with actual waste since 1983 were conducted recently in Tank 48, and they showed that the generation and release of benzene did not follow predictions. The generation of benzene in the waste under treatment in Tank 48 was unexpectedly rapid. A surprisingly large amount of the benzene remained captured in the waste, and that benzene was released through action of mixing pumps in the tank.
The current view of the contractor staff is that benzene is produced principally through catalytic decomposition of TPB ions in solution. They believe the catalysts are potentially both soluble and insoluble species, one of which is soluble copper known to be present in the waste. They also believe that the cesium TPB precipitate and the potassium TPB precipitate are relatively immune to catalytic decomposition. The contractor proposes to conduct two Process Verification Tests (PVT), PVT-1 and PVT-2, to further establish the validity of these views and to demonstrate the accuracy of the model it has developed to predict the rate at which the captured benzene is released from solution. PVT-1 would be performed on the homogenized nuclear waste now in Tank 48, which has already been treated with TPB that subsequently has partly decomposed with the result that some cesium has returned to solution. Additional TPB would be added to this material to reprecipitate the cesium. The amount of TPB to be added would be strictly limited to a small amount as needed to reduce the concentration of cesium remaining in solution to a low radiation level acceptable for processing as low level waste in the saltstone process, and a large part of that solution would be sent to saltstone. The subsequent proposed experiment, PVT-2, will involve adding to the slurry remaining in Tank 48 a large amount of additional untreated waste and a substantial quantity of TPB as needed to precipitate the cesium in this new waste.
The Board has been informed that the primary safety precaution for the proposed cesium removal activities is to maintain an inert atmosphere in the headspace of Tank 48. This is to be done through establishing a sufficient flow of nitrogen to the tank. Two nitrogen feed systems are available, a normal system and a supplemental emergency system. The nitrogen systems are present to keep the concentration of oxygen below the level that would support combustion of the benzene. Westinghouse staff members have pointed out that these redundant inerting systems provide a sufficient safety factor for control of oxygen concentration in the headspace. They have further stated that the rate of buildup of oxygen concentration from air ingress into the tank headspace, if both inerting systems are simultaneously inoper-

Infantree at the Satellite, Silver Lake, Ca
Infantree played a free show Monday August 9th opening up for Whispering Pines (look them up,their drummer is rad).
It was a fun friend affair. I headed out with my brother, Blake, photographer/cinematographer, Paul Mocey-Hanton, and "Steech" Steve Davis. It was a blast just hanging out before the show and would have been a great night no matter what. But, it turned out to be an amazing night.
Infantree played the best show I've ever seen them put on. Not only was it their best but I think it is in my top 25 list of concerts. When you are like me and you have seen well over 500 concerts with many bands performing at each concert that really counts for something.
The band put on a performance that kept the energy flowing. Almost all the songs they played were re-crafted in a manner to allow them to seamlessly transition into the next one without stopping.
They also seemed to be jamming a bit more than I had seen before. It was fantastic!
They play pretty often around LA and are slowly touring more and more so be sure to keep your eye out for them. =)

Of Verona at The Henry Fonda "Music Box"
On Monday night I spent time with some more great old friends that I don't see nearly enough. Myke Armstrong, Marc Halperin, Paul Mocey-Hanton, Steve Davis, Blake (brother), Ami Storck, Sam Marie, Bonnie Hussey and I all met up to go see our A-Plus-Number-One friend, Jacob Fatoorechi, play a special show with the band Of Verona. He is their lead guitarist and it was my first time seeing them.
If you look around my blog you will find Jacob a few times in other bands. He's a super talented guy and lends his talents to various bands. I really wasn't sure what to expect going into the show. But, Of Verona was opening up for Moby so I assumed it was going to be good. Keep your eye out for some Moby photos in this bunch. haha.
I definitely did not make an ass out of myself or anyone else. They were great! Really moody alternative rock with an awesome female singer.
Jacob of course was as fun and rockin on stage as ever. ^_^
Just as impressive as the live show, the band is not currently signed but managed to get MTV to do a feature on them for some new show that is taking over TRL.
Arcade Fire wins the Grammy for Best Album and apparently even MTV realizes indie bands are safe to give air time to. haha.
Our other friend, Cam Tang, was randomly DJing the first half of the night too. Such a fun night! He's the DJ in the photos. =)
Go check Of Verona out when you get bored: Of Verona
