myer s leonard (minneapolis, mn United States) - See all my reviews
this is a scholarly and meticulously researched and referenced text by a clinician of great experience,insight and acumen.
Mallenson does not hide behind euphenisms and he eschews 'weasel "words and phrases.He examines the nature of the entity of 'whiplash' and emphasises that despite the legions of sufferers and their claims ,no objective test has been able to demonstrate any pathological lesion in those who have suffered moderate intensity rear impacts.Patients who have had extensive surgery of the neck appear to recover with little of the morbidity of whiplash sufferers.He also highlights the numerous cases of fraud by lawyers,chiropractors and physicians.This is a MUST read for M.D.s who examine claimants and the lawyers and Insurance people who should be cognisant of recent research in
this area.
1.0 out of 5 stars Useful for Insurance Company Lawyers and Doctors Who Golf,
By A Customer
I am always disheartened when physicians become pawns of the insurance industry, sometimes unknowingly. Dr. Malleson appears to have prostituted himself in this way quite knowingly, however. Like one of the reviewers from Barbados (who can be found easily using a Google search of his name--he is an insurance company executive), Malleson is yet another representative of the automobile insurance industry whose views of whiplash-related disorders are not only biased, but quite outdated. Malleson appears to be second-guessing the millions of injured persons in the United States and abroad and accusing them of secondary gain. However, several scientific studies have clearly shown that litigation has absolutely no effect on the long-term prgnosis and outcome of whiplash-injured persons.
Malleson, in a very predictable way, places a grossly distorted emphasis on studies which support his preconceptions about whiplsh injuries. These studies, such as one which looked at demolition derby drivers (Berry, 2000) subjected to multiple impacts over the span of their careers, or one that supposedly simulated a rear-end collision (it didn't) using fear tactics to intimidate and frighten research subjects (Castro et al., 2002), actually have very little to do with the phenomenon of a rear-end collision in the real world, where significant forces are produced in unaware and unbraced occupants who are struck by 3000-lb. objects.
Malleson, and many physicians, especially those in neurology and psychiatry circles, attribute chronic pain after a rear-end, whiplash-producing collision, to be purely psychological or societal. This theory, a "psychosocial" theory of chronic pain after whiplash, not only has never been proved, but has never even been studied or tested.
I suppose that if you want to treat whiplash as a psychiatrist, it probably helps to couch a diagnosis in the psychiatric realm. But the lack of quality of research for a psychosocial theory in whiplash is glaring, and this paucity has not been commented on by Malleson. This is a great flaw of this poorly-researched book.
The proponents and founders of the "psychosocial theory" of chronic pain after whiplash, Drs. Robert Ferrari and Anthony Russell of Canada (where funding for pro-insurance research has reached a worldwide high), have called their theory instead a "biopsychosocial" one. That is a misnomer, however, since Ferrari and Russell allow for no biological explanation for chronic pain after whiplash. In other words, they do not believe that chronic pain after whiplash is possible from damage to injured human tissues such as cartilage, ligament, muscle or muscle tendon, brain, spinal cord, or other nervous tissues. Unfortunately for injured persons, Dr. Malleson also subscribes to this psychosocial theory, although there is no good scientific evidence for it.
What Dr. Malleson's book ignores are the monumental studies from medical and engineering journals in the past few years. The reviewer who states that Malleson misses the mark is correct. Kaneoka and Ono and their colleagues from Japan have indeed changed the way we look at the biomechanics of a rear-end collision with their brilliant studies using human subjects and cineradiography. What is amazing is that their work supports and agrees with data coming from other studies, both clinical and medical, and other engineering studies.
The Japanese researchers have shown us that the cervical spine takes on an "s-shaped configuration" where the lower neck hyperextends, and the upper neck hyperflexes beyond normal physiologic ranges. The possibility that cartilage in the neck is permanently damaged is very high. This cartilage has also shown to be damaged in clinical whiplash studies performed by Australian research (Bpgduk and colleagues). That the auto insurance industry and its representatives should so easily dismiss the overwhelming majority of studies in the last decade comes as no surprise to me. However, when a physician ignores the importance of this research, or ignores the research altogether, then that is surely disheartening. It is also surprising to many in the lay public (although not as surprising to those of us in medicine).
The doctors who work for the insurance companies and testify in court are clinging desperately to a very small number of studies (less than 30) which deny the existence of chronic pain after whiplash from a biological (that is, injured human tissue) source. The vast majority of studies show the opposite is true: chronic pain is not the result of secondary gain, litigation or cognitive difficulties (over 50 good studies support this), but are the result of good old-fashioned tissue injury (studies number in the thousands in support of this).
Yet, voices like Malleson's, Ferrari's, Berry's, and other physicians, especially neurologists, will continue to bark the loudest, as if by barking louder they will be able to somehow overturn the majority of scientists and researchers in both the medical and engineering worlds who disagree with them. Malleson's views simply do not hold up in the face of the research which he conveniently either ignores or distorts in his book.
There is a great advantage to writing a book like this: your future as a physician working for the insurance industry is virtually guaranteed. You will be able to reap great profits from defense (insurance company bought-and-paid-for) work, performing "expert" testimony for a fantastic income, and insurance medical exams (so-called "IME" exams) at a handsome profit. One doctor I know (most physicians I know refer to him as the local insurance company whore) literally made over $250,000 last year on Wednesdays performing these exams. He's got a lot of time left over for golf!
Nice work schedule! A quarter-mil on Wednesdays, looking for nothing in these patients, and surprise--not finding anything. Since he cannot find anything (he doesn't look for anything wrong), there must not be anything wrong with these patients! The insurance company, based on its own incestuous representative (or its representative once-removed), gets to legally deny payment for any further treatment to the injured patient! It is gone this far, don't let the supporters of this book lie to you any more. Thay all work for the insurance industry.
I wonder how Dr. Malleson's golf game is...?
5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just About Whiplash,
John A. Leraas (Olympia, Washington USA) - See all my reviews
This is an extensive, wonderfully documented discussion of a spectrum of illness that effects a large part of our society (not just in the United States, but in most of the developed world). Malleson does a fine job of keeping it readable with a combination of incisive wit and piercing insight.
Apart from the issue of whiplash itself the author explores the effect of this spectrum of disease on the medical profession (my profession) and the effect of my profession on this spectrum of disease. His insights are clear and revealing.
Malleson further points out relationships between the healthcare system of the developed world and these "useful diseases". His insights and discussions in this regard are, once again, germain and well presented.
In the discussion as to what form of healthcare system we should develop in this country, the subject matter of this book is key.
If legeslators and healthcare planners are unaware of these relationships our healthcare system is doomed.
This book is appropriate reading for any healthcare professional, attorney, and anyone in the insurance business. Legeslators and others involved in healthcare planning should have this material as required reading. The concepts contained in this work are critical to the future of our healthcare system.
5.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a book on this controversial subject,
C. M. Grant "CMAG" (Carribean) - See all my reviews
An excellent book on the subject of whiplash associated disorders (WAD). Dr. Malleson brings the subject of WAD to life and is able to present his thoughts in a structured, coherent yet entertaining manner.
On page 31 of this scholarly work he presents the findings of Dr. Henry Berry's findings of the presence of, or rather absence of, WAD in demolition derby drivers. In short, WAD does not exist in demolition derby drivers. Surely, such a finding cannot be explained by simply applying biomedical principles.
Those with a vested interest in promoting late WAD as a distinct biomedical entity have unsuccessfully attempted to debunk the writings/ research of Berry, Robert Ferrari and now Malleson. While no one is disputing the existence of the acute/ early WAD the dispute comes when one tries to explain away the findings of studies coming out of Singapore, New Zealand, Germany, Greece, Saskatchewan and Lithuania - which essentially undermine the existence of the phenomenon of the late whiplash syndrome.
From the writings and meta-analysis of Malleson et al is should be patently obvious to all of us managing these VICTIMS that we need a significant paradigm shift in the management of WAD - i.e. we should be adopting a biopsychosocial approach to its management thereby improving the clinical outcomes, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in the VICTIMS who are all too often mismanaged by those practitioners who exclusively subscribe to a biomedical approach. More works like Mallerson's are needed on this very contentious subject.
For additional reading, I'll recommend THE WHIPLASH ENCYCLOPEDIA - The Facts and Myths of Whiplash by Dr. Robert Ferrari (1999) to anyone with an open mind on the subject of WAD.
To Dr. Malleson I'll like to take this opportunity to not only congratulate you, but thank you for such a fine book. I've had the opportunity to read most, if not all of the textbooks that have been published on the subject of WAD over the last 5 years and this ranks amongst the finest. I'll remind Dr. Ferrari and yourself that it was Margaret Mead who one said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has".
PS (August 7th 2003): Having reviewed this page for the first time in six months, I was once again pellucidly reminded how emotive the subject of WAD can get, especially for those having a vested interest in profiting from the WAD VICTIM'S pain and suffering.
The reference line for all MDs involved in the management should be the INJURED PATIENT and the INJURED PATIENT ONLY and this ethical and fiduciary duty must override any other obligation to the persons from whom one may have received instructions or payment (e.g. Insurance companies, plaintiff attorneys, etc.).
To the reviewer from Boston (April 6th 2003), who erroneously stated that I was an insurance company executive, I'll like to take this opportunity to point out that I am a MD who has spent over 15 years in the trenches managing the WAD VICTIMS' pain and suffering.
While in the earlier years of my career a fair percentage of my patients did not respond to the traditional biomedical model, however, over the last 4 to 5 years I've had the opportunity to apply the biopsychosocial model to the management of my patients suffering from Grade 0 to Grade III WAD and I'm pleased to announce that the results have been extremely heartening, to say the least.
The authors of books like "Whiplash and Other Useful Illnesses" must be commended for literally sticking their necks out and challenging the old paradigm that FAILED to benefit the WAD VICTIM.
It must be pointed out to the skeptics that Dr. Malleson goes onto show in his commendable textbook where and how the insurance companies, yes the insurance companies, benefit from WAD. Hence, it is somewhat disingenuous, to say the least, for anyone who has read "Whiplash and Other Useful Illnesses" to classify it as a pro-insurance industry text.
To those contemplating purchasing this text, if your reference is the patient's physical well being I'll commend this book to you, on the other hand if your primary interest lies in how you can profit from the patient's pain and suffering I'll suggest that you look somewhere else.
Just a concluding thought, how is it that those causing the accidents, that is those who have little to gain psychosocially from such, never seem to go onto to suffer from more than a transient neck pain?
1.0 out of 5 stars A Real Medical Condition Is Trivialized in this Useless Book,
By A Customer
One must seriously question Andrew Malleson's research skills, as his inclusion of relevant and modern scientific research (1990-2002) on the topic of whiplash is virtually non-existent in this book. While it is true that surveys of jurors and the general public (including freshman law students) reveal a nationwide skepticism of the validity of whiplash claims in the United States (a recent University of Delaware article quoted a law student who opined that probably only "20% of whiplash claims were valid"), it is not layperson opinion that matters when it comes to whiplash injury. Science must play the defining role in whiplash injury litigation, not hearsay, anecdote, or public opinion.
But Malleson's book offers little beyond public opinion.
While it is true that insurance fraud is a major problem in the whiplash claims according to insurance groups (the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimates fraud in whiplash claims MAY be as high as NEARLY 40% of bodily injury claims where sprain OR strain is the ONLY injury, see IIHS Status Report, 1997), clearly even the insurance industry sees that greater than 60% of whiplash claims involving sprains OR strains as the only injury (a statement which, of course, says nothing about crashes producing whiplash injuries other than, or in addition to, sprains and strains, such as nerve injuries, spinal disc herniations, ligament ruptures, concussions or brain injuries, fractures, cartilage contusions and many others documented in the medical literature).
The medical literature speaks very clearly to the injuries sustained in whiplash. There are literally thousands of studies which document the myriad types of injuries (simply go the United States National Library of Medicine website and search PubMed under "whiplash"), a list too exhaustive to list here. There are also several excellent medical textbooks (see Foreman and Croft's textbook on amazon.com, or Yoganandan and Pintar's textbook, or a number of other medical textbooks found on this website such as those by Malanga and Nadler (Eds.), Gunzburg and Szpalski (Eds.), Nordhoff, Melton, and others) on the topic listing the multitude of injuries possible, including, but not limited to, sprains and strains. These textbooks are by authors and editors who understand the seriousness of whiplash injuries.
Clearly, Malleson's book cannot compare to these.
Any assumption, such as the one posed by another reviewer (the only one to date as of 11-08-02), that "... no objective test has been able to demonstrate any pathological lesion in those who have suffered moderate intensity rear impacts...", is simply a ludicrous and uneducated statement. Here is why:
Flexion-extension x-rays (where the whiplash victim bends his head forward and then back for the x-rays, which are taken in side-view of the neck), as well as the more modern flexion-extension MRI (including motion study MRI in weight-bearing positions, i.e., upright posture, where the weight of the head and the position of the neck show disc and ligament problems in whiplash patients not seen with conventional MRI, where the patient is supine or laying flat, face-up, with no weight on the neck), are showing indisputable lesions.
Seen on flexion-extension x-rays and MRI's are substantial ligament injuries, injuries severe enough to cause "ligamentous instability", a diagnosis that can be found in the American Medical Association's 4th and 5th Edition Guides to the Evaluation of Physical Impairment. The AMA Guides lists cervical spine (neck) instability as a "25% whole-person impairment", which is equal in severity to "amputation of the leg, 3 inches or more below the knee", according to the Guides (5th Ed.). Ligamentous instability is a serious injury to the cervical spine, seen in even low-speed rear-end collisions.
Disc herniations are seen on MRI after low and moderate speed rear-end collisions. These are objective findings.
The list of injuries goes on and on.
Cadaver crashes performed by Yoganandan and reported in the journal SPINE in the past year show serious injuries to the ligaments and cartilage of the cervical spine that cannot be seen on x-rays, CT scans or MRI. Cadaver necks were dissected and frozen after exposure to low-velocity, rear-end collisions, then analyzed for injury after the crashes. Multiple injuries were found. While there are problems comparing cadavers to real-world occupants, these studies may be the best at showing the hidden injuries which real sufferers have endured in spite of a hostile medicolegal environment. Doctors and scientists must never forget that just because medical tests and imaging do not always find the injuries DOES NOT MEAN the injuries do not exist. Further, it DOES NOT MEAN that these patients are necessarily suffering from "litigation neurosis" (research does not support this notion anyways), are malingering, are "cognitive underperformers", exaggerators, or hoping for big settlement money (indeed, most of the medical research on this last topic shows that the majority of whiplash patients continue to have chronic pain long after their legal claims settle).
This review cannot possibly cover the vast amount of research dealing with the topic of whiplash, but suffice it to say that a thorough reading of this book will not advance one's knowledge of the topic in any meaningful way. Coherent science is but a distant dream for Andrew Malleson.
5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent overview,
Amazon Customer (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This book clearly illustrates the true nature of whiplash injuries - as a vehicle to help ne'er-do-wells exist without actually contributing anything to society.
Well done!

Hi guys, I'm looking for my second horse, and I really like this one- a 7 year old registered Arabian gelding, 15.1 HH, eligible for nationals. He's been on trail rides, and walked over bridges that other trail horses wouldn't go over- and it was his first time out! He has jumped with a rider up to 2'9, and was Top 5 in his region for Arab Dressage at his very first show. I went out and rode him, and he was lovely- highly responsive, great lateral, nice transitions and he automatically puts himself in a beautiful frame without any prompting. I think he's awesome, but I'd like opinions on him as an amateur's competition mount. I'm an intermediate rider, and quite confident, but I don't know if Ricky is the right horse for me- I feel like I might be wasting his potential. I would just be showing him in low level Dressage and hunters.
Opinions please! And what do you think judges would say of his performance?

Canada Launches A Startup Visa To Lure Entrepreneurs
Rock Center Fellow Vivek Wadhwa spoke with Nick Leiber from Business Week-Bloomberg on a new pilot program out of Canada, which allows foreign nationals with funding from a government approved list of venture capital firms to apply for immediate permanent residency, and the amount of jobs is could potentially create.
Warning to Silicon Valley and Bangalore: Canada wants to poach your entrepreneurs. The country, which already has one of the world's most open immigration policies, began accepting applications for a new visa for highly skilled entrepreneurs on April 1. Under the pilot program, foreign nationals with funding from a government-approved list of about two dozen Canadian venture capital firms or angel investor groups can apply for immediate permanent residency. "If a Canadian venture capitalist is going to invest in a startup, we'd rather that business [be located] in Canada than India or Silicon Valley or somewhere else overseas," says Jason Kenney, Canada's citizenship, immigration, and multiculturalism minister.
The country joins a growing list of nations, including Australia, Chile, and the U.K., that have recently introduced or revamped visas designed to woo foreign entrepreneurs. Unlike Canada, most only grant permanent residency once startups can prove they're having a positive economic impact—an assessment usually based on the number of well-paying jobs created.
The law would create up to 75,000 visas for immigrant entrepreneurs who invest at least $100,000 in or raise that amount for their ventures. The Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City (Mo.)-based organization that supports entrepreneurship, estimates that 500,000 to 1.6 million new jobs could be created as a result of the program over the next decade. "This can lead to tens of thousands of new startups," says Vivek Wadhwa, an academic and the author of The Immigrant Exodus: Why America Is Losing the Global Race to Capture Entrepreneurial Talent, in an e-mail. "It will do wonders for the economy without costing taxpayers a cent."

How to Avoid (Static) Electric Shock
Three Methods:Clothing and accessoriesObjectsOther things you can do
Annoying, painful, even dangerous - electric shocks are often avoidable. A shock from a doorknob is annoying. A shock from the car when you're pumping gasoline can be dangerous.
Method 1 of 3: Clothing and accessories
1Wear clothes that will keep an electric shock from having effects, or that will reduce its effect. That way you won't get hurt.
- Natural cotton fibers are neutral with respect to static shock. Try wearing cotton socks, cotton tights, cotton tops, etc.
- Synthetic, especially polyester, fibers can contribute to a build-up in electrical charges, causing shock when you touch objects, metal shelving, etc.
2Buy an anti-static wrist strap with an alligator clip in the end. Use it to discharge yourself by having the metal tip touch any object with which to ground yourself. Keep grounded by attaching the clip to any object that's also grounded (for example, a key in its slot, a metal protrude part, etc.)
- Warning: do not use on electronic devices or you risk damaging them.
Method 2 of 3: Objects
1Stay away from objects that can give you an electric shock. Avoid activities that can do so as well.
2Hold on to the frame of the car when getting out of the car (i.e. grab the roof) until both feet are on the ground, then let go.
3Touch the doorknob with a key or another metal object before you touch it with your hand. You'll see and maybe hear a cool buzz, but won't feel it.
- Do not use valuable rings; they can tarnish from a spark.
Method 3 of 3: Other things you can do
We could really use your help!
Forming a Band?
World of Warcraft?
home decorating?
Audio Software?
- Electric shocks are most common when the air is dry, which is often in the winter.
- Do not attempt to apply these tips when working with electrical devices. i.e. Do not stick a key into your TV or computer. These are specifically to avoid STATIC electric shocks.

how it's made: jaipur handpainted stripe bedding
Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 9:30AM
When Jaipur, India was first developed in the 1700s, artisans and craftsmen were invited to live and work and enrich the city. Over the decades, techniques and skills were passed from one generation to the next—and the area built a reputation for itself.
Here, each piece of Jaipur handpainted stripe bedding is drawn and painted by local, contemporary artists using hand-mixed dyes—an art in itself.
The modern pattern draws inspiration from the hand-tie and dye techniques—and when mixed with this traditional Indian art and a rich color palette—results in a stunning effect of unique textiles.

The Baltic company Forticom has become the co-owner of the Russian social network Odnoklassniki.ru, having bought the blocking shareholding in the company, CNews found out. In the future Forticom share in the social network might be expanded up to the controlling stake. Experts could not agree upon Odnoklassniki.ru cost, the project 25% stake assessment fluctuating from $500 thousand to $6.3 mln.
The Baltic company Forticom has acquired the block of stocks in the Russian portal Odnoclassniki.ru, the market participants personally familiar with the project owners tell CNews. The social network representatives Albert Popkov (the creator of Odnoklassniki.ru), Igor Berdiy (being responsible for the project PR, development and advertising), Alexander Baderko (who has been Odnoclassniki.ru development director till recently) refused to comment on the given information. According to CNews source, the question is of the blocking shareholding, which is no fewer than 25% plus one share. Forticom share might be expanded to the controlling stake in the near future. The corresponding option acquisition might be discussed in the future. Forticom representatives were unavailable.
According to Alexey Basov, Begun director general, a successful and well developing social network, like Odnoclassniki.ru, might cost about $ 10 mln. in the future. "However, the estimation might slightly differ from the indicated sum for some reasons. In particular, the question might be of a discount, as Forticom is the project strategic investor, so it might be of benefit to the project not only regarding additional finance for development, but because of synergy with other proprietary projects', - Mr. Basov believes.
Forticom has been trying to enter into the Russian market long ago, Mikhail Gurevich, RBC director general deputy, says. However, the expert points out to the difference of Forticom projects' subscribers, who are generally young, from older Odnoclassniki.ru subscribers. As for Odnoclassniki.ru, the given step is considered ambiguous. According to Mr. Gurevich, the given site is more reasonable to integrate with the Russian market leaders than with a foreign player.

|$10 mln.
|Oleg Savtsov
|$2 mln.
|Vladislav Kochetkov
|IG Finam
|$25-30 mln.
|average estimation
|$12-14 mln.
Oleg Savtsov, RBC-Soft director general deputy estimates the project at $2 mln. According to the investment group Finam, Odnoklassniki.ru is worth of about $25-30 mln., nevertheless Finam experts consider the project unprofitable. One of the market participants tells CNews the project is profitable, but still costs not more than $5-6 mln. Taking all the mentioned above information into account Odnoklassniki blocking sharing might have cost Forticom from $500 to $ 6.3. mln.
The company Forticom is not presented in the Russian market. It was founded in 1999 and the company is a profound player at the Baltic States market of mobile entertainment services. Besides, the company owns one of the largest regional social networks One.lv. The project Odnoklassniki.ru was launched in March, 2006. It is a portal to search for and communicate with classmates and colleagues. The number of Odnoklassniki.ru registered users at presents is about 4 mln.

I'm specing out a new gaming computer because my current computer is kind of old, and I can't really play newer games on it very well.
I've got everything picked out that I want, but I don't really know exactly what I am looking at when it comes to graphics cards, so I have two picked out
I was wondering which one would be better of the two.
the first one is the GeForce GTX 560
the second one, and is the one I am leaning towards more is the GeForce GTX 550 Ti
As far as I can tell, the 550 card has better specs than the 560 card, except for the stream processors and the memory interface.
Which card would you guys suggest? or if you can find another card that is better (preferably nvidia) that is not more expensive than the 560 ($189.99)
(on a side note, I wish they would switch the free offers. the card I kind of want more comes with a free benchmark tool, while the other comes with Arkham City, which I really want)

Updated: 07/23/2013 5:35 AM KSTP.com
(AP) BERLIN - Spain's Telefonica has agreed to buy German mobile unit E-Plus from Dutch telecommunications company Royal KPN NV for 5 billion euros ($6.58 billion) plus shares, a deal that would create Germany's biggest cellphone operator in terms of customers.
The proposed deal announced Tuesday would bring together E-Plus, currently Germany's No. 3 operator with 23.4 million customers, with O2 _ the fourth-biggest, which is already owned by Telefonica and has 19.3 million customers.
Telefonica's German unit, Telefonica Deutschland, said it expects savings of between 5 billion and 5.5 billion euros, and will benefit from combining the two companies' distribution and customer service functions and networks.
The plan foresees KPN getting a total of 5 billion euros in cash and a 17.6 percent stake in Telefonica Deutschland, the Dutch company said, adding that the transaction values E-Plus at 8.1 billion euros.
The deal is subject to shareholder and antitrust approval. The companies expect the transaction to close in mid-2014.
Germany's biggest mobile operator at present is Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile, which serves some 36.6 million people; Vodafone is second with 33.9 million customers. The combination of E-Plus and O2 would have nearly 43 million; Telefonica put their combined revenues last year at 8.6 billion euros.
"This transaction is a strong commitment to the German market and a significant step in Telefonica's growth story _ providing us with a leading position within the strongest economy in Europe," Eva Castillo, the chairwoman of Telefonica Deutschland's supervisory board and the chief executive of Telefonica Europe.
The German economy is Europe's biggest and has continued to grow even as countries across large parts of Europe struggle with public debt and recessions.
Telefonica has mobile and fixed-line operations across Europe and Latin America. The company said the German deal would make it Europe's second-biggest operator in terms of cellphone customers.
Telefonica, which has been working to reduce its debt, noted that "this transaction will mainly be financed via financial instruments, which will enable to maintain Telefonica's leverage ratio stable."
The announcement came as KPN said its second-quarter net profit fell to 108 million euros, down 68 percent from the same period a year ago due to tough market conditions for its mobile phone operations and an ongoing decline in fixed-line services.
KPN said its revenues in the second quarter dropped 8 percent to 2.9 billion euros from 3.2 billion euros a year earlier. CEO Eelco Blok said the company will now "focus on its core geographies," and the company said it will use most of the cash from the sale to "increase its financial flexibility."
KPN shares were up 5.3 percent compared with Monday's close at 1.90 euros. The deal also sent Telefonica's shares 2.4 percent higher to 10.31 euros in early trading in Madrid.
In Germany, rival Deutsche Telekom _ which will face one fewer competitor if the deal goes through _ was one of the biggest winners on Frankfurt's DAX index of blue chip stocks. Its shares climbed 1.8 percent to 9.35 euros.

Google experiments with a lot of interesting new features, but not all of them are publicly available. A post from Google's blog inadvertently revealed some experiments, by showing a list of iterations for the "search options" feature released this week.
The initial concepts for the "search options" panel included a lot of interesting enhancements:
* grouping search results by topic
* grouping search results by people
* showing page previews for search results
* showing only pages that you've seen or pages you haven't seen before
Google has previously tested an interface that grouped search results in predefined categories like reference or reviews, but it's not clear if "group by topic" works in a similar way or it's a different approach. To search pages you've seen before, there's Google Web History, but it's very slow and the ranking algorithm needs a lot of improvement.

DULUTH - Duluth welcomed Chris McGahee as the city's economic development manager during Monday's city council meeting.McGahee comes to Duluth with 22 years experience at the Northeast Georgia Regional Development Center in Athens where he served as director of economic development and transportation for 12 counties and 54 cities. Monday was McGahee's first day at work in Duluth where he will assist the city in developing a plan to attract businesses and jobs. "I'm super excited to be here," commented McGahee during the informal work session that preceded the council meeting. "You have a vision and, unlike many cities, you have the expectation that you can accomplish it," he said. McGahee told the council that he was impressed with the Town Green, the new City Hall and other revitalization efforts in the city. "Revitalization is very near and dear to my heart," he said. During the meeting, Nick Masino, vice president of economic development for the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, briefed the council on the accomplishments of Partnership Gwinnett, a countywide economic and community development initiative that includes 14 cities. Duluth has allocated $24,265 in the current city budget as its share in funding the initiative. Duluth Planning Director Cliff Cross commented that he and McGahee will be compiling an inventory of available space that will be useful in attracting businesses to the city. Hiring an economic development planner for the city has been a priority for Mayor Nancy Harris, who introduced McGahee at the meeting.

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Broke Straight Boys
These boys are very hot and very straight but most of all they are broke. Rather then lose their apartment, girlfriend, etc. they do sexual things with other guys for some quick cash.
After a while of Austin giving oral I had them switch, and it was CJ's turn to take a dick in his mouth. CJ's personality was that he likes to be on camera, but was shy in showing any kind of emotion. He got started giving Austin head, and was able to get a little more than half of the cock down his throat as he swallowed it. The two of them looked good together, and I asked if they were ready to do some fucking. Austin was the first one to speak up and say yes, so while the two got themselves prepared I got the couch into a bed. It was CJ's decision that he wanted to start out on his back, getting into position he lifted his legs up into the air. Austin slowly guided the tip of his dick towards the hole, and when he was there CJ's hand took a hold of Austin's leg. Pushing forward Austin worked his cock inside, and CJ was a little in shock from what he was feeling. With his hand on Austin's leg he could slow Austin's movements down. It has been a while since he has been fucked, and now

If someone told me I couldn't eat pizza, sandwiches, bagels or drink beer, I'd cry. And then punch them.
And if were a gluten allergy, not just my muffin top, keeping me from my favorite wheat-based products, I would find it all the more frustrating. To become the pariah of the dinner party, and all.
Cutting out gluten isn't particularly fun or easy but those with Celiac Disease have to deal with dodging the gluten bullet daily. Not to menion the eye rolls of those of us annoyed at planning around something as pervasive as the omnipresent bread basket.
Thankfully NYC offers a moderate variety of gluten-free restaurants, so support a (socially) marginalized friend and agree to grab a meal at one of these gluten-free (and legitimately good) restaurants.
West Village
270 Bleeker Street
My take- Eh, fine. Good breadsticks.
Bistango Restaurant
Murray Hill
415 3rd Ave
The nicest of the group. My full-gluten corn and marscapone ravioli with truffle butter sauce was great but the cheese tortellini with shredded meat ragu of my Celiac-suffering fried was to die. Tres decadent.
Lower East Side
198 Allen Street
My favorite of the bunch. Dark, intimate setting. Wood-burning stove and pizza made in an open kitchen.
Oh, By the Way: All of these restaurants serve great desserts and alcohol, so stop your whining.
Let's Be Honest: Gluten-free doesn't have to be flavor-free.
And I mean, come on, we already put up with made-up food issues of our friends. (I'm pointing the finger at you, non-red meat-eaters. Really? Chicken is ok? Whatever).
Yes, you can indulge in the forbidden, with no repercussions…

Talk To Me: Sharon Olds Shares The Love... With Family
Poet, author and NYU professor Sharon Olds was joined by her twin nephews Michael & Matthew Dickman at NYU's Lillian Vernon Creative Writers House on March 4th.
In this session of NYU's Reading Series, Olds read from both old collections and poems she finished on the train that day. The Portland born Dickman brothers got the "love movement" started with their award-winning fraternally and familially inspired poetry.

Bon Mots
Michael Dickman: "My dreams are very boring. I was at the grocery store and I was out of milk. So I purchased some."
Matthew Dickman: "The hard thing about reading after my brother is that I just want to sit and keep listening to him."
Sharon Olds On the ode: "They allow one to think about general as well as specific things. They allow one to conceive of ideas."

Sculpted legacy
It was during the 1890s that a freed slave from Edgecombe County came to Hillsborough.
Here he established a home and a life, and even though it has been more than 120 years, his great-grandson, Hillsborough native Walter Faribault Jr., attributes two lessons to his early ancestor. "I learned to cook barbecue and I learned to give," Faribault said.
It is the evening before Faribault is about to serve his barbecue to the public as part of a fundraiser for the OCIM in Hillsborough.
"I would have been born in Hillsborough had there been a hospital here," Faribault said. His family has a long history in this town and Walter Jr. was one of four siblings; he is the lone remaining survivor. From Central High School in Hillsborough, Faribault went to Morgan State University where he devoted his studies to biology.
Upon completing Morgan State, Faribault enrolled in the physician assistant program at Bowman-Gray School of Medicine in Winston-Salem. Faribault also served in the U.S. Navy, where he retired as a veteran. "I came right back home," says Faribault of completing his degree from just down the road in Winston-Salem. Upon his graduation in 1975, Faribault began practicing at Orange Family Community Health Center and then eventually at student health at N.C. Central University and UNC-Chapel Hill, where he retired.
Along the way, Faribault has served on many community boards and has given his time to his hometown. Faribault was a board member for the Orange County School board, serving two terms during the 1980s. For the town of Hillsborough, Faribault has been involved with the planned river walk project, an interest that is close to his core. "A significant portion of the land used for the river walk was sold by my family. I have an interest in this project for personal reasons," Faribault said.
Near the river, Faribault's family owned a brick business, and he has many fond memories of how his family's roots are tied to the flow of the river.
Family is very important to Faribault and maintaining that legacy is something he is proud of.
While Faribault has certainly contributed to his community and he continues to live a life that was based on the same footings his great-grandfather established, it is his expression in art that further establishes his life as special. Faribault is an artist working in the abstract nature of wood and metals. He is proudly self-taught and began creating stainless steel pieces as a byproduct of maintaining the legacy his family is known for, cooking barbecue. "I was taught very early how to cook barbecue and really there is no other way," Faribault said.
His early role in barbecue was gathering railroad track logs and arranging them in a field where wood coal would be used to cook the pigs. "The barbecue was great and I learned from my grandfather the secret to cooking in this manner," Faribault said.
His interest in barbecue teased Faribault into the catering and barbecue business, for a year. During this time, Faribault was modifying a concession trailer, where he would sell his barbecue from, with stainless steel. "I noticed the scraps and saw a potential for art," Faribault said. Eventually, it became too time consuming and labor-intensive to maintain the barbecue business while also attending to his professional demands. However, the scraps of metal and eventually wood had already blossomed, and from hands that used to turn coals of wood, sculpturing came.
With a smile on his face, Faribault is as much an artist as he is a storyteller and he is proudly humbled by the end result of his own artwork. Yet, what is so very special about Walter Faribault Jr. is the idea that while he is creating artwork from random metals and woods and turning them into abstract creations, his artwork is really a legacy to family, hometown, and cooking good barbecue.
When his grandfather and family settled near the river in town, they came here to establish a life and to establish family and to establish honest work. When Faribault Jr. creates his sculpted pieces, he represents all that is important to the legacy of his family, including the only way to cook good barbecue.

If Alain Vigneault assembled his roster based solely on chemistry, Cabral Richards would probably slot somewhere into the top nine. Whenever the interviewer waltzes into the Canucks' locker room, the results are terrific.
Cabbie's latest segment with the Canucks has him talking to Cory Schneider, Kevin Bieksa, and Manny Malhotra about the workplace environment when you're playing professional hockey.
I love how both Bieksa and Schneider bring up nudity right away.
Cabbie also gets all three of them to practice calling in sick. Schneider overdoes the cough and Bieksa confuses being sick with being French, but Manny nails it. He puts a little grit in the throat, without overdoing it, and brings up that he doesn't want to pass along the disease. Sound sympathetic and pathetic. That is how you call in sick.
Granted, it's also how Christian Bale plays Batman. Malhotra' sick voice really sounds like The Dark Knight. I wanted Cabbie to ask him to say "Do I look like a cop?!"
The best part of the whole video, however, is when Cabbie asks them about business cards. Bieksa says he doesn't have business cards, but he does have a website, which is news to me, and Schneider says he just hands out hockey cards. Turns out, Cabbie made business cards for all three. Unfortunately, he makes a few errors, putting a fake twitter account on Schneider's card (he confirms that he doesn't have twitter) and suggesting that Bieksa is "the other KB".
Bieksa doesn't seem sold on that.
Most egregious, however, is the mistake Cabbie makes on Manny's card: "Would it be possible to get some made up with my name spelled properly?" Malhotra, as we learned during the Bieksa's Buddies charity game, can be driven to pseudo-profanity when his name is misspelled. Cabbie's lucky Malhotra didn't call him a "son of a nutcracker".
Finally, this video features the best cameo ever, as Bieksa hands out his card to the Sun's own Elliott Pap. You made it, Elliott. You're a star.Tags: Cabbie, The YouTubes, video

On Monday, the Senate unanimously passed legislation (S.1929) to temporarily extend all the Small Business Administration (SBA) programs, which include the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. The legislation will extend these programs through April 30, 2010.On her statement on the six-month extension, Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., Chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and sponsor of the bill, said: "While we continue to make progress on all of our reauthorization measures - SBIR/STTR, SBA's loans and venture capital programs, contracting assistance, and management counseling - this temporary reauthorization will help keep America's 29 million small businesses running through the holiday season." The Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship press release highlights that small firms employ 41 percent of the nation's high-tech workers and generate 13 to 14 times more patents per employee than large firms. The SBIR program alone has generated more than 84,000 patents and millions of jobs. The eleven federal agencies participating in the SBIR program allocate 2.5 percent of their extramural research and development dollars for the program. The SBIR and STTR programs have been operating under a series of short-term extensions. On September 25th, Congress passed H.R. 3614, a measure that authorized the SBA programs through October 31, 2009. Although the House and Senate small business committees have been trying to negotiate an SBIR/STTR reauthorization, they have been unable to agree on specific provisions, such as eligibility criteria.

A few weeks ago I was extremely bored. I was home from college, no one was home, and I had just come home from a swimming pool with dripping wet hot guys. So one thing led to another and I ended up in my room alone watching some movie on HBO with a really hot guy. It was a hot summer afternoon so I started to strip down to a more comfortable attire.
There I was, laying on my bed, going braless in a tanktop with tight blue panties. As I watched this movie more I got really horny. To the point where the movie wasn't doing it for me anymore. I grabbed my laptop for some guy on guy porn. Just looking at the gay porn page of pornhub.com got my panties soaking wet.
I started to rub my clit faster and faster until I was almost at the point of a clitoral orgasm. I was pretty bored of clitoral orgasms so i ran to my parents bedroom to find one of my moms vibrators. I picked a long pink one that I had used a few times before.
Running back to my room i clicked on a video of two hot black guys rubbing each others cocks. With my naked shaved pussy dripping wet i started to slide my fingers in and out of my pussy until i was completely ready for that long pink vibrator to enter me. I turned it to its highest mode and started to slide it in and out of me.
The two black guys on my computer screen really started to get into it, and so did I. I was shoving that vibrator in me so fast i knew i was ready to cum. So to slow down the experience i took one hand off the vibrator and rubbed my rock hard nipples. But i couldnt last any longer; i put all of my energy towards my pussy. it only took about 10 seconds until i was squirting with all my force. I had never done this before. All i could say was... Best lonely summer afternoon ever!
Guy on Guy
Funny, although I love watching bi porn (I am bi), 3somes, 4somes, I can't quite appreciate guy-on-guy videos. I like videos with two guys (black is good, they're usually extremely well hung) and a girl, and the guys can play around with each other, but it seems I need a female to be there. I need to get off as I masturbate watching the girl getting penetrated, sucking or jacking a guy off. And it helps if I see a guy shoot his cum on the girls face, breasts, ass or pussy.
Pornhub.com is a good site, as it T'nAflix. com, & Redtube.com I go there a lot when I masturbate.
that was so hot

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2007 A new Iraq strategy that targets multiple terrorist outposts and capitalizes on Iraqis' growing dislike of al Qaeda are combining to degrade insurgent operations in the country, a counter-insurgency expert said today in Baghdad.
"The intention behind the counter-operations that we're doing is to try to knock over several insurgent safe havens simultaneously," David Kilcullen, the senior counter-insurgency adviser to Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of Multinational Force Iraq, said during a conference call with military analysts.
Operations Phantom Thunder, Arrowhead Ripper and other ongoing, surge-affiliated actions in Iraq are being conducted simultaneously across a wide area, Kilcullen pointed out, noting one of his prime duties in Iraq is helping U.S. and Iraqi forces adapt different strategies and tactics to better confront insurgent challenges.
Arrowhead Ripper is one of several operations that are part of an overall offensive against insurgents in Iraq called Operation Phantom Thunder, which began June 15, once all of the surge troops were in place. President Bush directed a deployment of about 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Iraq earlier this year as a surge of forces to assist the Iraqi government in confronting the insurgency.
Previous single-focus military operations conducted in Iraq, such as the 2004 campaign against insurgents in Fallujah, were successful, but many of the enemy moved elsewhere to fight another day, Kilcullen said.
The Fallujah battle "focused a lot of effort onto a very small part of Iraq," Kilcullen noted, and "had an effect a little bit like stamping on a puddle," as the enemy moved their infrastructure to other parts of the country.
Ongoing operations in Iraq seek "to move on several of these (enemy-held) areas at once," Kilcullen explained, while making it more difficult for the terrorists to relocate and regroup.
A movement from large U.S. military base camps to smaller U.S.-Iraqi manned joint security stations set amid the Iraqi populace is part of the new security strategy that works in conjunction with Iraqi police to hold areas recently cleared of insurgents, Kilcullen said.
This change has also contributed to a decrease in successful enemy improvised explosive device attacks, Kilcullen said. U.S. troops are now already deployed in the areas they patrol, he noted, and therefore aren't as vulnerable to roadside-bombs attacks as they were before, when they'd convoy from large base camps to mission areas.
Additionally, Iraq's people are fed up with al Qaeda, Kilcullen said. Al Qaeda was once aligned with a number of Sunni tribes in western Iraq's Anbar province, but many sheikhs there are now rejecting the terrorist group, Kilcullen said.
Kilcullen said Anbar's tribal leaders came to dislike al Qaeda's zealous, Taliban-like oppression, as well as the terrorist group's negative impact on local trucking and construction businesses that are traditional money-makers for the tribes.
"I think that al Qaeda have really worn out their welcome," Kilcullen said, noting a key U.S. objective in Iraq is to prevent it from becoming a safe haven for terrorists.
Additionally, many Anbar tribal leaders are now aligning with the Iraqi government through the registration of their local militias.
Such cooperation with the central government has spread from Anbar province, Kilcullen said, to north Babil, which is located south of Baghdad, to Diyala province. And, this rapprochement is now moving into parts of southern Iraq, where many Shiites reside, Kilcullen noted.
The Shiite tribes "are now starting to see what the Sunni tribes are getting" by cooperating with the central government and are saying, 'Wait a minute, we want some of that, as well,'" Kilcullen pointed out. Many of these Shiite leaders, he noted, are also starting to reject the Shiite extremists.
The common link between these Sunni and Shiite leaders is that they believe al Qaeda terrorists and other extremists are leading them to destruction, Kilcullen said.
"What we're seeing here is the population of Iraq starting to reject terrorist groups," Kilcullen said. "I think that's a good sign, in that it's not us enforcing absence of al Qaeda, which would mean that we'd have to essentially occupy Iraq for a very long term period to make that stick."
Instead, the Iraqis are "driving out al Qaeda from their midst," he said.
Kilcullen acknowledged peace isn't breaking out in Iraq, just yet. But recent developments there, like Sunnis' rejection of al Qaeda, provide cause for optimism, he said.
"There's a long way to run, but I think it's a positive indicator at this stage," he said.
