The US Treasury is still failing to protect its aid to US banks from fraud and misuse, according to the latest report from the special inspector general for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (Sigtarp).
The report calculated that total aid delivered or promised to US financial companies by the US government had reached $23.7 trillion dollars by the end of June. However, this figure was an overestimate, it said: it did not take account of collateral received in exchange for loans, nor of the fact that some programs overlapped or had already closed down. Furthermore, this was a worst-case cost - including, for example, purchases of mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which would only lose all their value if all the underlying mortgages defaulted without recovery.
Sigtarp repeated its criticisms of the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP), saying the Treasury had still failed to take sufficient precautions against the risk of the private asset managers involved using their knowledge of PPIP purchases to enrich themselves and their non-PPIP funds. The conflicts of interest needed to be addressed with the imposition of 'walls' between PPIP and non-PPIP fund managers, and greater transparency on PPIP fund activities, the report said.
The inspector general's office plans to publish trading information in its own quarterly reports "in light of Treasury's refusal to publish this information [and] to meet a basic level of transparency," the report said.
The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (Talf) also came in for criticism: the program relies in part on credit ratings to value ABS used as collateral for loans to banks. Sigtarp's last report called on the Treasury to abandon the use of credit ratings, citing concerns about their independence and reliability. But, although it has reduced Talf's reliance on the rating agencies, the Treasury still uses them - Sigtarp cited concerns that borrowers are choosing agencies known to have lax rating criteria, and added that: "The expansion from three to five of the number of rating agencies from which the issuer may obtain ratings... without an increase in the number of AAA ratings required, has the potential of giving issuers more incentives and opportunities to take advantage of the conflicts inherent in the ratings process."
A separate Sigtarp report, issued yesterday, criticised the Treasury for failing to compel banks to provide details of their use of funds received under Tarp.

Go low! Sam Stucky, 12, Zionsville, did the limbo during a beach party Saturday at Hussey-Mayfield Public Library to promote the library's teen winter reading program.

With snow on the ground outdoors, youths kept warm inside the library with thoughts of tropical destinations.
Hussey-Mayfield Public Library, 250 N. Main St., hosted a beach party Saturday for high school and college students to encourage them to sign up for the library's teen winter reading program, said Virginia Hilbert, library spokeswoman.

Product description
Bestselling author of "Lies My Teacher Told Me," James W. Loewen, exposes the secret communities and hotbeds of racial injustice that sprung up throughout the twentieth century unnoticed, forcing us to reexamine race relations in the United States. In this groundbreaking work, bestselling sociologist James W. Loewen, author of the national bestseller "Lies My Teacher Told Me," brings to light decades of hidden racial exclusion in America. In a provocative, sweeping analysis of American residential patterns, Loewen uncovers the thousands of "sundown towns"--almost exclusively white towns where it was an unspoken rule that blacks could not live there--that cropped up throughout the twentieth century, most of them located outside of the South. These towns used everything from legal formalities to violence to create homogenous Caucasian communities--and their existence has gone unexamined until now. For the first time, Loewen takes a long, hard look at the history, sociology, and continued existence of these towns, contributing an essential new chapter to the study of American race relations. "Sundown Towns" combines personal narrative, history, and analysis to create a readable picture of this previously unknown American institution all written with Loewen's trademark honesty and thoroughness.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This was a fairly boring game. Once you have played one character, you have pretty much mastered them all. There were no real surprises. It felt like you were playing the same level every time, only different skins.

Supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul reportedly dominated southern Minnesota's 1st Congressional District Republican Convention over the weekend, with the Texas Congressman picking up practically all of the district's available delegates. The same was reportedly true at the other Minnesota congressional district conventions held over the weekend, as well as at the previous weekend's conventions. Ron Paul is now said to have 20 of the 24 Minnesota delegates already chosen to represent the state at the Republican National Convention in Tampa later this year. The state's remaining 13 delegates to the national convention will be chosen during the State Republican Convention May 18th and 19th. Ron Paul came in 2nd place at the majority of the local-area Republican caucuses in February, with Rick Santorum taking 1st place in the straw polls. Santorum has since dropped out of the race, and his campaign has reportedly directed his delegates to support Ron Paul.

Odd Hours (Odd Thomas Novels, Book 4) (original 2008; edition 2008)
by Dean Koontz
Work details
Odd Hours by Dean Koontz (2008)
Books Read in 2013 (419)
Jarett's Books (26)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Some loose ends, I thought. Particularly with the weird girl. She was a little too cryptic for my tastes, and a bit annoying. But as always I loved Odd, and want to be his friend.
What can I say........another great book! Once you read the first Odd Thomas book you have to read them all! They're that good!
This book wasn't as good as the previous "Odd Thomas" books, but I enjoyed it as I've enjoyed this character throughout the other 3 books. If you liked the other 3 you'll like this one, too. :)
It was okay. Just sort of ended. It feels like it builds and builds and then just stops.
This was the first book in the series that I think fits the description of sequel... or more aptly put, continuation of the original book.
In Forever Odd, Dean bored me to death because the book, to me, was pointless. He mentioned Forever Odd in Brother Odd, but only briefly and in no way did it pertain to the story. Now, In Odd Hours, you hear no mention of the casino happenings from the second novel. More and more I feel like Koontz is trying to say, "Sorry about that, folks, let's get back on track.
Odd is moving toward something in Odd Hours, something big, and I believe that the series has officially begun. It took Dear Old Dean two books to get here, but he finally knows where he's going.
The book begins like meth addict scrambling for a crystal he's lost down a drain. I wasn't expecting that. The fourth book in the Odd Thomas franchise is one long chase scene. If someone's not chasing Odd, Odd is chasing someone. There are a few very obtuse sections involving rhythmic underground noises and coyotes that are more than they appear to be which are never explained. Not to mention Annamaria. This girl is brought in, introduced, then shoved off screen in a damn hurry. I can't help but think that she will play a major role in the fifth book, Odd Apocalypse, which I will be reading next. Some have complained about the unanswered questions, but I like them. I finally have a reason to read the rest of the series.
***Spoiler Alert***
The chapters involving the boat journey, the nukes, and Odd's descent into darkness to save, as Annamaria puts it, "Cities," was some of the best suspense writing I have ever come across. Dean threw me a curve-ball, and I whiffed the swing like a roid-raging bean head. I didn't see that section coming. Odd has been such a tranquil character up until now, only acting out of shear desperation. Here, he is calculating and ruthless.
Then, he meets up with the big reveal. I laughed my ever-loving ass off during the back and forth in the final chapters. It was like watching a mystery film parody unfold. Dean must be part magician because he just pulled people out of thin air and piled them up like kindling for the winter. Someone shoots someone only to get shot by someone who then gets shot by someone else. No, really, that's how it goes. I knew I shouldn't be laughing, but by the time I reached the cliffhanger ending, my guts were hurting. I will say, I didn't see how the last baddie dies coming. Smooth bit of distraction done on Koontz's part there. But, the end, not the cliffhanger, but the final scene in the rectory, caused me to lower my initial five stars to four. Now, if Koontz meant for me to laugh at his outrageous pop-up bad guy act, then bravo, but somehow, I think he meant for me to take it seriously.
Much better than Forever Odd, not quite as good as Odd Thomas or Brother Odd, Odd Hours is just stupid fun for smart people. I recommend this one, but I will further state that you should avoid Forever Odd like the air-bourne version of Ebola. If anyone can tell me why we needed book two in the series, please, for the love of Tom Cruise, shoot me an email.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553807056, Hardcover)Amazon Exclusive Essay: Destiny and Odd Hours Odd Thomas came to me as a gift, the entire first chapter of his first book having poured out of me as I was in the middle of writing The Face. I wrote it by hand, though I never work that way, and I never hesitated to think what should come next. He was fully-realized in my mind from the moment I began to write in that lined legal tablet. With other stories and characters, I can identify the source of the inspiration, but not with Oddie and his books. He just suddenly was. When I write about him, his narrative voice is so clear to me that I almost hear him in my head. For those among you who long have thought that I should be institutionalized, just relax: I said I almost hear him. Many times over the years, I said I would never write an open-ended series. Then along came Oddie, and he proved me wrong. Or so I thought. As I wrote the first chapter of Odd Hours, the fourth featuring my fry-cook hero, I realized that this was not an open-ended series, after all, but that it would conclude with six or seven novels. I now think seven. I suddenly saw the end point of his journey, the arc of it to the final book, and I was stunned. Beginning with this fourth story, the stakes were being raised dramatically; Oddie was going to face far more physical and moral danger than previously; and he was going to mature toward the fulfillment of a destiny that I had not seen coming until that moment. Initially, I tried to argue myself out of the direction that Odd Hours was taking. I didn't believe that the first three books had put down a sufficient foundation to support the formidable architecture that I saw rising from it in the next three or four novels. When I began to reread the first three books, however, I quickly discovered that I had unconsciously paved the road that the series was now taking. I had thought I was writing a series with an overall theme about the power and beauty of humility. Indeed I was, but it was also something more than that; and Oddie's ultimate destiny will not be merely purification to a state of absolute humility, but will be that and something else I find quite wonderful. What lies ahead will be a challenge to write--or perhaps not. The character of Odd Thomas was a gift to me, and now I see that the entire architecture of a seven-book series was another gift that came to me complete on the same day Oddie arrived, although I needed time to recognize it. This world is a place of wonder, and life is a mysterious enterprise; but nothing in all my years has been more mysterious than Odd Thomas's origins and my compulsion to write about him. -- Dean Koontz

Haunted by dreams of a powerful red tide, Odd Thomas, accompanied by two otherworldly sidekicks--his dog Boo and the Chairman of the Board--is drawn to a small California coastal town, where nothing is at it appears and where he confronts overwhelming and sinister forces out to stop his quest.… (more)

Acting upon the voiced needs of Nakavika
Photographing Christmas with the family
Sometimes when I'm home, I turn the camera on my family. They like to cheese it up in photos, but when their cheek muscles relax a bit and they get into their element, you can see the real smiles emerge.
iPads and chicken slaughters bring me clarity after five years
One little boy lifted the silver bowl of chicken heads to receive its next occupant, and I snapped out of my time-traveling thoughts. I stood up and returned to Vita's house to find that the iPad had locked away its contents from the curious kids indoors. When I unlocked the iPad, I found the following paragraph, scribed by Samu:
Washing away old worries in a stone cathedral
"This is for you, Lindsay." Waisale stood at the top of one rock wall, arms folded, and stepped forward into the air. I photographed his rapid descent and felt my stomach uncurl of worry. Before, I feared that suddenly departing their lives without explanation would sever ties or permanently damage our connection to the kids. These fears dissolved by the time Waisale resurfaced from the bottom of the gorge.
An emotional, highly anticipated return to Nakavika
Returning to my first lemon leaf tea in five years, I happily settled on the grass mat with a Christmas mug. I was nearly out of the emotional woods with this favorite, sweet elixir and a few cold pancakes. I sighed and scanned the room, finally noticing two photos taped to the wall, one of my mother in the snow and another of my grandmother holding my baby niece. I should have just accepted that a breakdown was inevitable.
Reunited with the Fiji of my dreams in the markets of Suva
I reacted in amazement before the information reached my brain: Siteri was standing in front of me…at the market in Suva…spotted me the moment I arrived with no other knowledge than my flight time. I guess I could have anticipated this crossing of paths in retrospect, because we had been connecting on Facebook, little blue lines coming onto my screen from a dream I once had. Regardless of the plausibility of the chance encounter, I was now face-to-face with tangible evidence of my long and confusing stint in Fiji, a time I still chew on in my mind for more clarity and takeaways. Her name is Siteri, and she is my umbilical cord to Nakavika.
A patchwork quilt of my days in Japan
For the last two years, I've used these little collages as a way to quickly chronicle a chapter of my work life. While this says "Hiro" (a.k.a Hiroshima) and some of the images are from elsewhere in Japan, this represents some of my favorite moments this term, the ones I continue to savor even months later.
Northeast Japan still hurts from the 3/11 disaster…and you knowing that actually helps
The more wonderful people and places I encounter, the more difficult choosing causes becomes for me, and I can understand that you might as well find difficulty in extending much of yourself to this cause with so many other things begging for your support. That's why I hope it feels entirely doable to you to simply follow them on Facebook and begin your engagement there. A message, a photo, or a "like" could be just the encouragement they needed for the next step.
Kyoto through the lens
I wasn't a part of the planning process for Kyoto, so every day presented new information and surprising activities I gulped up. The highlights included walking through a bamboo forest, watching chunky snowflakes coat the city, and our tea ceremony with a maiko, a geiko (or geisha) in training. I rolled my own sushi for the first time, which was a bucket list item, and I finally visited the orange gates captured in Memoirs of a Geisha.
A patchwork quilt of my Indian days
My third exploration of these Instagram collages is providing some great perspective on our time in India. Instagram images feel like highlights of daily joys, and usually a sum-up post of images from a place is a showcase of your best and most influential moments. Making a little visual quilt of the daily joys seems to weave the kind of fabric that makes sense to my mind and likely memorializes a place akin to how I will mentally.
The time I took ten students to the
war-torn region of Kashmir
and they loved it
Have you ever been on a trip that you knew was so special: every detail seemed divinely delivered, every moment one to journal about, every vision worthy of an Instagram? This was the sentiment possessed by all involved in our trip. Lazy nights spent huddled around the fire were coupled with songs or thoughtful talks about travel. Even in moments where the students were out of their element, up before dawn, freezing, or pushed to their physical limits on hikes, they were still so engaged. The usual shyness of students in need of filtering questions through their teachers to the guides dissolved after a half hour on the ground. The students loved Ashika.
What is evidence of good travel?
We burn fuel, and sometimes we observe where that takes us,
hypothetically hoping it's toward patch-covered nirvana, an open mind
Regardless of the "where to" but focusing on the "so what"
What is travel, and what is a traveler?
A patchwork quilt of my Boston days
I found this idea while in Buenos Aires and used it to memorialize my little life in the Argentine capital. I tried it out again with the beautiful city and experience of Boston, MA.
Attending my first opening night via the interwebs
Thought it wasn't my first choice to attend virtually, it was my only realistic option, as I was deeply embedded in school on May 1st, the day of the event. But this was a big moment for me, a first exhibition for an art major and with deep significance in location at that. I wanted to be able to absorb these factors viscerally and emerge from the experience enriched and with the sense that I had exhibited work always meant for others' eyes.
A patchwork quilt of my Argentina days
Packing commences soon for the USA. Mental packing happens sooner. I had a little life here in Argentina. It will be remembered a little something like this.

This is what the last three months in Germany looked like
This title isn't entirely accurate; it should be more like "This is what the last three months in Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, and parts of Scandinavia looked like…and other cool stuff, too." The first two terms in Ecuador and Thailand left little time for experiencing the surrounding culture. I mostly stared in a viewfinder […]
This is what the last three months in Thailand looked like
Just as in Ecuador, this is what I stared at every day of the Thailand term: my portable media HQ of two MacBook Pros, an iPad, an iPhone, and about 13 TB worth of storage power. I see pixels in my dreams. However, what wasn't just like Ecuador was my workload. With the addition of […]
One meal inspires three months of memories in Thailand
I keep mentioning to our students that this phenomenon occurs constantly, with no warning, regarding foods, flavors, experiences, and beyond. All of a sudden, we're okay with what we formerly weren't (and of course, the opposite is always possible). I'm inclined to believe these mini-epiphanies are more perceptible on the road where they can be constantly questioned.
This is what the last three months in Ecuador looked like
A break from being on-location isn't a vacation; it's when post-production begins. The gray days of Indiana don't make me feel guilty for holing up in my room, rubbing elbows with the likes of Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. Though I got to experience some incredible sights in my three months in Ecuador, the majority […]
Déjà vu in Ha Long Bay and a simple vacation in Luang Prabang
It's been a long time since I landed in a new place and felt a strong connection. Luang Prabang was easy from the start, as we piled into a cheap bus from the airport to the most peaceful "populated" street I've ever witnessed. It felt like we entered the land without hassles. Especially juxtaposed with Vietnam, we were existing in a place with one face and no veneer.

This combination has now become a bit of a classic, but Steve has put his signature on it with the mint oil. You must use the oil on the same day it's made or the mint will discolour.
YIELD: Serves 6
1. To make the mint oil, put all the ingredients in a blender and whizz. Chill for 2 hours to let the flavour develop, then strain.
2. Cook the peas with the mint in salted, boiling water until just tender but not soft. Drain and refresh in very cold water.
3. Purée the peas in a blender until very smooth, or push through a sieve.
4. Grill the bacon, put it on kitchen paper and keep warm.
5. Heat 2 large frying pans until very hot but not smoking. Season the scallops on both sides with sea salt. Add 15 ml (1 tbsp) mild olive oil to each pan and then put in the scallops. They should sizzle. Cook each scallop for 45 seconds on each side, then remove from the pan and keep somewhere warm.
6. Whisk all the honey vinaigrette ingredients together.
7. Divide the pea purée between 6 warmed plates and place 3 pieces of bacon across each portion. Arrange 3 scallops around the purée and drizzle with the mint oil. Put some salad leaves dressed with honey vinaigrette on top.

I guess the safest bet is to stop striking all together you can say, but...they are in a fight so it seems hard to stop at that point. Maybe this is on the refs to stop or at least check on the fighter sooner. Cause if they're not out of it, kissing the mat leaving the back of your head exposed isn't properly defending yourself or it's a really crappy way of using a technicality for an advantage/break.

Small vesicle endocytic hot-spots triggered by filopodial contact. (A) Time-lapse confocal images of FM 5-95 internalization show contact and apparent fusion between adjacent filopodia (red arrows). The boxed area is magnified in the panels at the right and the time after the initial membrane labeling (minutes:seconds) is indicated in each frame. The dashed arrows (white) are static and indicate the initial position of filopodia. Filopodial contact and fusion is accompanied by the formation of multiple small endocytic vesicles at the proximal region of the resulting filopodium (yellow arrowheads). See Additional file 6 for the corresponding time-lapse movie. (B) Time-lapse DIC images show similar filopodial-filopodial contacts (red arrows) as in (A). The dashed arrows (white) depict the initial filopodial position. The corresponding time-lapse movie is shown in Additional file 7. Scale bars, 5 μm (left), 1 μm (right).

I have joint custody of my two sons who are 8...
I have joint custody of my two sons who are 9 and 11. I am looking for a cool, beautiful and intelligent woman who is emotionally mature and relatively sane. Ultimately, I'd like to find a woman who "gets" me and is able to express herself both intellectually and physically...holding hands, hugging and kissing are all things that I can't live without! I am looking forward to making someone really happy some day, being romantic, doing the little things and lifting someone up on all levels. You only get one life, and I am looking forward to making the rest of mine amazing. When I say that I'm looking for a relationship, I honestly mean it. I know it takes time to develop a real relationship and connection, but if you aren't willing to truly allow someone in, to be vulnerable and to show the real you, then I'm not interested! I love all kinds of movies…Some of my favorites are Inception, Star Wars, Edward Scissorhands, The Goonies, Super 8, Old School, Anchorman, Prometheus, Sex Tape, Life of Pi, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, John Hughes films, Superbad, District 9 and Rushmore. I am also a sucker for a well done romantic love story. About Time, The Vow and most recently The Fault In Our Stars all made me cry. Some of my favorite TV shows include True Detective, Arrow, Twin Peaks, The Walking Dead, New Girl, Scandal, Homeland, Hannibal, Orange Is The New Black, Alias and Rectify. Not a big fan of reality shows...but I used to love Temptation Island! :) Music is huge for me. Some of the bands I love include The Cure, Depeche Mode, Skrillex, The Smiths and Morrissey, The Pixies, Ministry and Queens of the Stone Age…But, I also like more popular stuff like Ellie Goulding, Daft Punk, Lorde, U2, Lana Del Ray...old school metal like AC-DC, Motley Crue, Ratt, Black Sabbath...and good hip-hop/rap like Run DMC, Ice Cube, Beastie Boys and Jurassic 5! If it's cool, I dig it... Not really into country...unless it's Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline or similar old school goodness! In High School, I was a "star" athlete, but I don't really follow or watch any sports these days… The woman I'm looking for does not need to be just like me...In fact, I would welcome the chance to learn new things, ideas, and ways of doing things. I'm excited about beginning a new chapter in life, co-authoring new stories of awesomeness, closeness, adventure and discovery with my best friend...

The loser: CNN, as it suffers a huge debate-ratings dropoff.
Since then, we've been locked in an escalating tit for tat war in which the loser is our increasingly empty federal court system.
In addition to lacking compelling personal narratives, the "pro-choice" frame is itself a loser.
mid-14c., "a destroyer," agent noun from lose (v.). Sense of "one who suffers loss" is from 1540s; meaning "horse that loses a race" is from 1902; "convicted criminal" is from 1912; "hapless person" is 1955 student slang.
(also born loser) A person or thing that fails, esp habitually; bust, dud, lemon, nonstarter (1950s+ Students)
: I don't want them to think I'm losered out
An unexpectedly bad situation, program, programmer, or person. Someone who habitually loses. (Even winners can lose occasionally). Someone who knows not and knows not that he knows not. Emphatic forms are "real loser", "total loser", and "complete loser" (but not **"moby loser", which would be a contradiction in terms).
See luser.

Oil prices climb as Fed shows confidence in US economy
Published on Mar 20, 2014 12:49 PM
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Brent crude rose above US$106 a barrel on Thursday after the United States Federal Reserve signalled interest rates could rise next year, indicating strength in the world's largest economy and top oil consumer, while geopolitical tensions also underpinned prices.
In comments that sent stocks and bonds tumbling, Fed Chair Janet Yellen on Wednesday said the bank will probably end its massive bond-buying program this fall, and could start raising interest rates around six months later.
While scaling back of the central bank's commodity-friendly stimulus has been viewed as a drain of liquidity, the latest outlook is being seen by market participants as underscoring confidence in the US economy.
"The consensus is now that the winding down of easy money is happening because the economy is strong enough to stand on its own two feet," said Mark Keenan, head of commodities research in Asia at Societe Generale.

Cries for peace ring in southern Philippines amid the roar of war
Publication Date : 30-01-2014
Aquino vows to crush militants opposed to the peace deal
Shouts of "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Great!) on Wednesday punctuated musical performances by Moro talents at the town plaza where some 2,000 people gathered to celebrate the signing of the final deal that sealed an agreement to end the decades-long Moro insurgency in Mindanao.
In Manila, however, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III vowed to crush militants opposed to the imminent peace deal between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) as the death toll from a military assault on them in Maguindanao and North Cotabato provinces rose to 38.
Military officials said last night the troops overran a stronghold of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), a hardline splinter faction of the MILF, in the village of Ganta in Shariff Saidona town, Maguindanao.
"The Armed Forces … (are) going on these operations to prevent lawless [elements] from inflicting harm on our population, and to seriously degrade their abilities to again act as (peace) spoilers," the president told reporters.
The government wrapped up peace talks with the MILF, the biggest Moro rebel group, on Saturday in Kuala Lumpur, then quickly deployed the military against the BIFF.
"'Nya den ba su kalilintad (Peace is here)," said a man in his early 30s as he grabbed an unattended microphone after a kulintang (native musical instrument) rendition at the Pikit plaza, which drew a festive and predominantly Muslim crowd from the Maguindanao indigenous group.
Not far from the place, other Moros were terrified as fighting dragged to a fourth day between soldiers and the BIFF, which split from the MILF in 2008 to pursue a path to Islamic independence. At least 10,000 civilians have reportedly fled from clashes in Datu Piang, Shariff Saydona and Sultan sa Barongis, all in Maguindanao, and in Pikit.
Artillery fire
The Mindanao Human Rights Action Center (MinHRAC) said an artillery shell fell in an area near an encampment of displaced residents in Sitio (subvillage) Madtalbayug in Datu Piang on Tuesday. No one was reported hurt, MinHRAC said, but the evacuees had to scamper for safety toward the poblacion area.
A government artillery barrage was also launched in the nearby town of Datu Salibu early Wednesday, said MinHRAC executive director Zainudin Malang.
Col. Dickson Hermoso, 6th Infantry Division spokesman, said on Wednesday that the manhunt for 27 BIFF leaders facing criminal charges "will continue in the next 72 hours".
Of the 37 rebel fatalities reported, only 12 bodies were recovered by soldiers in the towns of Datu Piang, Shariff Saydona and Sultan sa Barongis, Hermoso said. Some of the dead were still in the marshland and could not be retrieved as BIFF snipers were firing at the troops, he added.
Abu Misry Mama, speaking for the BIFF, denied Hermoso's claim. "Maybe the bodies they are referring to were civilian casualties hit during mortar attacks," he said.
Mama claimed that the rebels captured a military armored personnel carrier in the village of Damabalas in Datu Piang on Wednesday.
"We will just get the .50-cal. machine gun in it, then we will burn it. We cannot use it because there are no roads in our bases," Mama told the Inquirer on the phone.
Police and Army checkpoints have been put up along the Cotabato-General Santos highway and Cotabato City-Davao City highway.
"Our major highways remain passable and safe because we have successfully contained the BIFF in one area in the marshland," Hermoso said.
In Pikit, a 27-year-old woman, who identified herself only as Salimar, said she wasn't too young to know how war made the Moro people suffer. Clutching her 3-year-old daughter, she said she joined the celebration even if she barely knew the group that invited her over.
"I think they were called Women of Bangsamoro," she said, giggling.
"I'm sorry, I felt so elated that peace is finally here. I really believe that what I went through as a child will not be experienced by my daughter," Salimar said in the vernacular.
Machete for rifle
Babo Asal, who gave her age as 78, was weeping. "You know how you will immediately understand how I feel now that the talks had wrapped up with agreements? You only have to flee a battle zone once."
An MILF fighter, who was among those who defended the rebels' main base, Camp Abubakar, in 2000, said he had longed for the day he would drop his Kalashnikov rifle for a machete.
"I have a small farm that has not borne fruit for many years. Now it's going to be productive," Tong Kamad said.
Reacting to the BIFF's insistence on independence, Kamad shook his head and said: "Have they not grown tired of the violence?"
Contrary to the BIFF's belief that only independence will free the Moro people from poverty and oppression, Kamad said a working government under Manila could still prove to spell the difference. "With real Moro running the system, it will not be remote," he said.
Under the planned peace accord, the MILF will have control over the autonomous Muslim region. Aquino aims for the peace plan to be implemented before he steps down in mid-2016.—With reports from Allan Nawal, Karlos Manlupig, Edwin O. Fernandez, Charlie C. Señase and Jeoffrey Maitem, Inquirer Mindanao; and agencies

Can it be done with a tiny drop of blood? A needle stick? Can it "titrate"? Cani it be done on dried blood? Color change? Commercially, what does it cost ? Or just direct me to a website for specific FAQ – good work
Meet Dr. Arnold Castro – Outstanding Laboratorian, February 2012Posted on by
Editor's Note: Dr. Arnold received this honor from the Laboratory Science, Policy and Practice Program Office (LSPPPO) in the Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (OSELS) at CDC. We asked Dr. Castro some questions about his work:
What do you do at CDC?
I am a research microbiologist and I am responsible for the development of new innovative point of care (POC) rapid tests for the diagnosis of syphilis using serum, plasma or whole blood. The test is simple, inexpensive, requires no expertise to interpret the results and it is capable of determining the serological status of a patient by screening and confirming the result in a single test within 2 to 15 minutes while the patient waits at the clinical site. I also have other duties related to syphilis detection, including serving as technical advisor for the WHO syphilis Proficiency Testing Program at CDC.
What personal experience in your work are you proudest of?
I am very proud of the opportunity to use research to develop new diagnostic tests that would be beneficial for the public health such as the development of the rapid POC test for syphilis. This test can aid in detecting and treating pregnant women and help prevent congenital syphilis. I am also proud to have acquired three patents for my work: 1) "Modified Cardiolipin and Uses Therefore:" U.S. Patent No. 7,888,043 B2. 2); "Methods, Immunoassays and Devices for Detection of Antilipoidal Antibodies:" U.S. Patent Application Number 12/433,626; 3) "Compositions and Methods for Detecting Syphilis Using Synthetic Antigens:" U.S. Patent Application No. 13/333.849.
How does your work save lives/protect people/save money through prevention?
In the past, the serological testing for syphilis has been performed in laboratory settings, requiring appropriate equipment and trained personnel to interpret results that may not be available for several days after the sample has been collected. This can be a problem, especially in developing countries and in inner cities; patients may not receive treatment because they fail to return for the results of their laboratory tests. In these cases, not only does the patient remain untreated, but the disease may be spread to others. By receiving the results more quickly through the "rapid test," the clinician can make an immediate judgment on the necessity for treatment during a single clinic visit.
What is the biggest barrier you face in doing your work?
The biggest barrier facing our work is how to transfer our technology to the private sector, where they have established manufacturing procedures that need to be adapted to accommodate and further the principles of our research.
What is the most important thing for the public to know about what you do?
The most important thing the public need to know is that their taxes are well invested in facilitating our research. Our development of new methods and techniques will in turn be beneficial to the public at large.

VDRL antigen in rapid test!!! That means antigen will be coated on NC membrane. Whether this test will have improved sensitivity and specificity compared to RPR test?

Charming, elegant, and timeless, this artistically designed estate puts you at ease—and right in the center of Newport.
The Destination
It doesn't get any more quintessentially New England than Newport, Rhode Island. Don't feel any pressure to pack those preppy polos, though—there's plenty more that defines this town. In the warmer months, watch ships pepper the aquatic horizon, evoking Newport's centuries-old naval ties, or stroll past the summer homes of Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. When it gets colder, the colonial and Victorian houses are aglow with cheer and look picturesque beneath a dusting of snow. You just might feel them beckoning you to come visit.
The Digs
Luxury meets charm at the La Farge Perry House, situated in the heart of Newport. Outside, the property features manicured lawns and colorful gardens, while inside the house, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafts through this meticulously adorned Victorian-era bed and breakfast. Each of five rooms is equally charming, appointed with 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens and goose-down pillows, a flat-screen TV, a work desk, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The highlight, however, is the personal whirlpool tub in each bathroom. Enjoy a long, romantic soak after a day on the town.

Study: 1 in 7 skin cancer patients continue tanning
It might not still recognized as an addiction, but a new study has found that tanning salons might in fact be addictive.
According to FOX News, a new study published in JAMA Dermatology has found that one in seven people diagnosed with skin cancer who have used tanning beds in the past will continue to do so post-diagnosis.
Overall, 26 patients admitted to using indoor tanning beds within four years post-diagnosis. According to the survey's results, the patients had tanned a median of 10 times within the past year -though some admitted to tanning as many as 20 times. Patients who had done the most tanning prior to their skin cancer diagnosis were much more likely to still be visiting tanning beds, according to CTV News.
Dermatologists say this behavior leads to "tanning dependence."
"Patients will often describe that it feels good when they get sun exposure or go to a tanning salon � They talk about needing to do it and craving it, and when they don't do it, (they have) a feeling of withdrawal," Langley told CTV News.

Ordered food from maadi branch & food was good, and came on time, however it is overpriced a bit
The Maadi branch needs a new manager and a new chef, I am so tired of always arguing with these guys, and every time, they make it seem like I am an idiot for complaining. Bland food, Late or completely forgotten orders, half the salad items are NEVER there. Shame.... once upon a time, they were good, but now.... No comment.
Dear All, If you are seeking a good quality of food ,fast delivery and professional Staff DO NOT ORDER FROM CAIRO KITCHEN i repeat DO NOT ORDER FROM CAIRO KITCHEN NOT ONLY THE ORDER CAME AFTER 120 MIN FROM ORDERING, THEY SENT THE WRONG ORDER AND FOOD WAS TASTELESS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU CAIRO KITCHEN BUT I RECOMMEND YOU BETTER CLOSE IF YOU CANT MAINTAIN THE BASIC QUALITY AND SERVICE. Seriously WORST Experience ever .
Their food is good, but overpriced for egyptian food. Local restaurants do it better, but of course this format makes it more accessible to foreigners. That said, it is The Second Time I am left waiting for a delivery guy for over an hour. It's now been an hour and a half. Good luck ordering from here.

Family and friends may send money to an inmate by United States Postal Money Order. The money order must be made payable to the inmates full committed name and DIN. Send completed legible money order to the inmate mailing address above.
For more information on sending funds to an inmate in a New York penitentiary read the family guide for inmate accounts here.
The New York department of correction encourages friends and family members of inmates who demonstrate a positive influence to communicate and visit with an inmate. This can help the inmate in the rehabilitation process, and eventually with his or her reintegration back into society.
Visiting days and times vary from facility to facility. They are influenced by the security level and population concerns. At many facilities, you may only visit on certain days of the week, for example, by last name (A-L) (M-Z) or by the inmate's DIN. As a general rule, maximum security facilities have visiting on a daily basis.
Medium and minimum security facilities have visiting on weekends and holidays.
Work Release facilities have visiting for inmates in restriction units only.
Shock Incarceration inmates have visiting every other weekend.
You should always contact the facility for the specific visiting schedule prior to visiting.
Generally visitation begins at 7:30 am and ends at 3:00 pm, but you will not be admitted to visitation if you arrive 2:30pm or later. Some may even include evening hours. Many visiting rooms become very crowded and often visitors are required to end visitation early as there are others waiting to get in.
Contact the facility prior to your initial visit to determine the visiting policy.
Visiting Hours are as follows:
Saturday and Sundays 8:00am - 2:30pm.
To read the New York inmate visitation guidelines click here.

Is it possible to obtain a 2015 Visitation calendar with the week-ends listed for the visitations of the A-L, M-Z names? If so, where do I request this material?
The inmate will have accesse to printed schedules and can mail them to you. Or, starting this weekend Saturday, 1/3 is A-L and Sunday 1/4 is M-Z. This schedule will flip-flop every weekend until July, when a new schedule will be issued. Woodbourne is very accommodating, if you have any questions just call them.
