To the public education advocates who released it, the survey painted a gloomy picture of schools in Wisconsin - reduced staff and bigger class sizes in many districts, all as a result of state budget cuts.
To skeptical Republicans who had passed the budget cuts, the survey, conducted by the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators, was a biased document. For one thing, they argued, it left out the fact that most of the job reductions came in districts that hadn't used the "tools" Republicans supplied them to protect themselves from budgetary harm - greatly reduced collective bargaining power for teachers, and requirements that those without contracts pay more for their fringe benefits and retirement.
Whatever else it was, though, the survey released Thursday by the state Department of Public Instruction was a preview of one of the major issues that the public will soon hear a great deal about as the next round of recall elections launches this week.
Graeme Zielinski, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, says that recall campaigns against Gov. Scott Walker and several Republican senators are expected to launch Tuesday.
Republicans have said they may counter with recall attempts against Democratic state senators.

Cowboys sign safety after Church surgery
DALLAS – The Cowboys signed safety Eric Frampton on Tuesday after placing strong safety Barry Church on season-ending injured reserve following surgery on the Achilles tendon he tore Sunday against Tampa Bay. Frampton was a fifth-round draft pick in 2007 by Oakland. He's appeared in 76 games, spending the last five seasons with Minnesota, and […] [Read More]
Can Free & Co. protect Romo against Bears' ferocious pass rush?
IRVING – Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo could be in for yet another pounding when the Cowboys host the Bears on Monday Night Football next week. Dallas gave up four sacks in Sunday's 16-10 win over Tampa Bay. The Bucs hit Romo four other times, an onslaught that placed the Cowboys offensive line under a microscope. […] [Read More]
Cowboys need 'all hands on deck' to stop Bears' Hester
IRVING – With Bears' ace returner Devin Hester coming to town, one of the burning questions facing the Cowboys this week is whether they will use Danny McCray on special teams if he is called on to start at strong safety. McCray's special teams' involvement was limited in the second half of Sunday's 16-10 win […] [Read More]
Jones says league is 'great' even with controversy surrounding replacement refs
DALLAS – Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has adopted a see-no evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no evil approach to the furor surrounding Seattle's controversial win over Green Bay in the Monday night game.

Garrett warns players to show restraint with replacement refs
IRVING – Cowboys coach Jason Garrett stressed to the players and his assistants before each of the team's three games the need to steer clear of any confrontations with the replacement refs.

Is Romo the league's toughest quarterback?
ARLINGTON – Examples of grit at the quarterback position seemed to be everywhere in the league Sunday. A vicious hit in a win over Denver cost Houston's Matt Schaub part of his ear Sunday. In Glendale, Ariz., Philadelphia's Michael Vick absorbed another terrific pounding. But from the Cowboys' perspective, no passer is tougher than their […] [Read More]
Garrett on Lee: 'We're lucky to have him'
ARLINGTON – Where would the Cowboys be without Sean Lee? It's a scary thought, considering what he brings to the team in terms of takeaways, tackles and leadership. Lee's tip-drill interception in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bucs gave him seven picks for his career, the most by a linebacker in the NFL. Lee's interception […] [Read More]
Communication problems continue to plague offensive line
ARLINGTON – Communication issues are the reason why the Cowboys are having so many pre-snap penalties, coach Jason Garrett said. Six of the Cowboys' 13 penalties in Sunday's 16-10 win over Tampa Bay were for false starts (right tackle Doug Free had three, tight end Jason Witten had two and Tyron Smith had one). "The […] [Read More]
Garrett makes no apology for onside kick gamble
ARLINGTON – Jason Garrett made no apologies for trying an onside kick after the Cowboys grabbed a 10-7 lead in the second quarter of Sunday's 16-10 win, saying the Bucs' alignment begged for him to make the gamble. Tampa Bay recovered, but Dallas' rugged defense forced a three-and-out. "We had started (working) on it during […] [Read More]
Garrett, Romo confident Witten will break out of slump
ARLINGTON – Cowboys coach Jason Garrett has a simple solution to the slump that has plagued tight end Jason Witten the last two games. "He just has to keep playing," Garrett said.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Hook-Ups: How Did Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd Meet?
Long before Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a twinkle in her eye, a young actress named Lisa Vanderpump met Ken Todd, and what began as a whirlwind courtship has turned into a 30 year marriage. But how did Lisa and Ken meet?
Where else—at a bar! Specifically, Corks bar in the London neighborhood of Kensington, which Ken owned. One night in 1982, 21-year-old Lisa was "being a smartarse" and manning the door as a joke. She tried to charge him to come in. To his own bar.
It seems Ken, then 37, didn't much mind. "She was like a breath of fresh air coming into my life," he told the Evening Standard in 2002. "I thought, hello, he looks interesting," said Lisa. They got married six weeks later.
Given their beginnings, it seems only fitting the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple went on to make their considerable fortune in the restaurant and bar business. Even though their nonexistent sex life has become a running joke on the reality show, these two are clearly in love with one another. Who says no one meets the love of their life at bar?

Dupont Metro escalator stops suddenly during morning rush
Jason Lloyd Clement had WMATA's latest escalator woes fresh in his mind when he boarded an upward-moving escalator to exit the south entrance of the Dupont Circle Metro station at about 7:45 a.m. Monday. It was tough to think about much else, what with the number of his fellow passengers still clutching today's print edition of the Express, emblazoned with the headline "Brace Yourself." Inside the paper was another story about the potential for yet more escalator malfunctions.
And then, as if on cue, just as Clement reached the midpoint of his ascent, he felt a jolt.
"Literally without any warning, the whole thing came to a dead stop," says Clement, who had been walking up the left hand side of the escalator at the time. He says he saw riders standing close to each other on the right get jostled into each other a little bit, but that no one appeared to be injured.
"We were all just kind of like, we just read about this," Clement says.
Unlike recent incidents at the Gallery Place and L'Enfant stations, which saw malfunctioning escalators suddenly speed up, in this case the escalator stopped and didn't start moving again. And that's exactly what should have happened, according to WMATA spokesman Steven Taubenkibel.
"If a safety mechanism is going to kick in, then the escalator is going to stop," says Taubenkibel. "Why is this a story?"
Well, given the record of Metro's escalators in recent weeks, a safety mechanism that works properly is news. Also, Clement felt a sense of panic among escalator riders, a feeling that surely feeds off of recent news reports. "There was definitely a moment of confusion if there could potentially be any danger," he says, as he and others started to move to get off the escalator as quickly as they could. His thought process: "What happens if it starts moving in either direction?"
That didn't happen, but Clement says he also questions how quickly Metro staff managed to react to the situation. After reaching the top, he stopped in at Cosi to purchase coffee, and by the time he came back out, he still didn't observe any WMATA workers at the station entrance directing passengers on whether or not to use that escalator.
After his experience this morning, Clement says he's not necessarily afraid to board another escalator. But if he has a choice, he'll probably opt for what makes him a little less nervous. "I'm probably more inclined to take a non-moving one," he says.
Taubenkibel agreed to check with his escalator maintenance crew and get back to us with more details, so we'll update when we learn more.
UPDATE 4:29 p.m.: Taubenkibel gets back to us with this reply: "Our escalator mechanics are still working to determine why the unit stopped this morning. At this point, the unit is off until we can determine a cause. The unit did come to a stop as it was supposed to."

Egypt sends army into Sinai after soldiers kidnapped last week
Egypt's army sent dozens of armoured vehicles and personnel carriers across the Suez Canal into North Sinai early on Monday, a security official has told Al-Ahram Arabic news website.
The move comes as speculation grows that force could be used to rescue seven Egyptian soldiers kidnapped last week.
Seven Egyptian security personnel, including one member of the armed forces, four port security officers, and two state security officers, have been held by unidentified kidnappers in the Sinai Peninsula since Thursday.
A security source said the kidnappers have demanded the release of Islamist militants detained for almost two years.
The militants, who allegedly belong to Tawhid wal-Jihad, were convicted of killing five security officers and one civilian during attacks in June/July 2011 on an Al-Arish city police station and a North Sinai branch of the Bank of Alexandria. Twenty-five individuals were charged in the case.
Early on Monday, unidentified gunmen stormed an Egyptian security base in the Sinai Peninsula and exchanged gunfire with forces inside the base before retreating, security sources told Reuters.
The gunmen attacked the base in the Al-Ahrash area in North Sinai from a truck and fired automatic weapons. The attack did not result in any casualties.

Communications Media Professor Luis Almeida and doctoral student Ahmed Yousof, assisted by a team of undergraduate students, won a top prize for their video game proposal at the 2013 Education Without Borders (EWB) conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March 26–28.
The proposal, written by Yousof, conceptualizes an educational video game called "HERO 1" to teach English language and American culture to Arab students. It was one of only 32 papers that EWB organizers selected for conference presentation out of about 3,600 submissions worldwide, and went on to take first place in the category "New Media and Mobile Learning" at the conference.
The great win spotlights IUP's place in the vanguard of instructional technology development, brings the chance to explore opportunities with Microsoft, and crowns six months of mentorship and collaboration by the team in the Communications Media Applied Media and Simulations Game Center in Stouffer Halll.
The HERO 1 project team. Front, from left: Students David Algeo and Shawn Yutzey. Back, from left: Student James McHenry, student Ahmed Yousof, Professor Luis Almeida, and student Caleb Byers. Absent: Student Jake Saures.
"The Education Without Borders conference assembles some of the world's most innovative students in educational technologies," says Almeida, faculty mentor to the HERO 1 team and director of the Applied Media and Simulations Game Center and the Motion Capture Lab. "Microsoft, Apple, and other leaders in business, education, the humanities, and other fields attend to identify talent and ideas."
Presentations must include not only a concept proposal but also a marketing plan and detailed budget, and are judged by preeminent thought-leaders in education, including, this year, eight Nobel Laureates.
IUP's road to the EWB began when Almeida and Yousof, a student in the new doctoral program in Communications Media, collaborated on a paper. Rather than submitting it to an academic journal, they decided to "go even bigger," says Almeida.
Yousof explored the protocol for submissions to EWB, and they began to brainstorm ideas for a video game concept. Almeida zeroed in on an educational game, because "the edutainment industry is much smaller than the billion-dollar commercial game industry and its products aren't that great yet." He considered the utility of a language and culture game that might be used, for example, by Olympic athletes traveling to foreign countries.
Yousof, who is an international student from Egypt, led the story development. Drawing from his own observations, he created a character named Malik, an Arab teenager in the United States, and wrote situations in which Malik learns to speak English and understand American cultural norms, such as how to help strangers in distress or personal space boundaries, and makes friends along the way.
"You can learn English by watching TV, but you can't rely on that to learn the culture," says Yousof. "Why not have a video game that bridges language and culture?"
Five Comm Media undergraduate students who are beta-testers in the MoCap Lab—James McHenry, David Algeo, Shawn Yutzey, Caleb Byers, and Jake Saures—came on board to produce a trailer. Though the resources were modest—a couple computers with iClone and Windows Kinect—the students worked hard with Almeida and Yousof to help put the "entertainment" into the product.
Yousof represented the IUP team in Dubai, addressing a packed auditorium. He gave a knockout presentation—a proposal that incorporated a strong concept as well as a budget and marketing plan and a game trailer incorporating photorealism, game flow, terrain, graphics, story and character development.
"Our proposal was practical, innovative, real, and firsthand," says Yousof. "It's what people need in an educational video game."
The team is now exploring opportunities with Microsoft.

- Test of the German Resilience (2012)
- From its early post-war catch-up phase, Germany's formidable export engine has been its consistent driver of growth. But Germany has almost equally consistently run current account surpluses. Exports have powered the dynamic phases and helped emerge from stagnation. Volatile external demand, in turn, has elevated German GDP growth volatility by advanced countries' standards, keeping domestic consumption growth at surprisingly low levels. As a consequence, despite the size of its economy and important labor market reforms, Germany's ability to act as global locomotive has been limited. With increasing competition in its traditional areas of manufacturing, a more domestically-driven growth dynamic, especially in the production and delivery of services, will be good for Germany and for the global economy. Absent such an effort, German growth will remain constrained, and Germany will play only a modest role in spurring growth elsewhere.
- Is venture capital a local business? : A test of the proximity and local network hypotheses (2012)
- Venture capital (VC) investment has long been conceptualized as a local business , in which the VC's ability to source, syndicate, fund, monitor, and add value to portfolio firms critically depends on their access to knowledge obtained through their ties to the local (i.e., geographically proximate) network. Consistent with the view that local networks matter, existing research confirms that local and geographically distant portfolio firms are sourced, syndicated, funded, and monitored differently. Curiously, emerging research on VC investment practice within the United States finds that distant investments, as measured by "exits" (either initial public offering or merger & acquisition) out-perform local investments. These findings raise important questions about the assumed benefits of local network membership and proximity. To more deeply probe these questions, we contrast the deal structure of cross-border VC investment with domestic VC investment, and contrast the deal structure of cross-border VC investments that include a local partner with those that do not. Evidence from 139,892 rounds of venture capital financing in the period 1980-2009 suggests that cross-border investment practice, in terms of deal sourcing, syndication, and performance indeed change with proximity, but that monitoring practices do not. Further, we find that the inclusion of a local partner in the investment syndicate yields surprisingly few benefits. This evidence, we argue, raises important questions about VC investment practice as well as the ability of firms to capture and lever the presumed benefits of network membership.

Water Charity believes that the extensive cultivation of the Moringa tree throughout developing nations will play a key element in reducing malnutrition in the world in coming years.
The objective of Moringa Ride will be accomplished through the efforts of Peace Corps Volunteers and Togolese counterparts. Eight Volunteers and eight Togolese will ride bicycles to thirteen selected villages and towns in the northern Savannah region of Togo.
At each community, they will teach the villagers the benefits of the Moringa tree and instruct them in the cultivation of the plant. They will disseminate seeds and help with the initial crop.
The trip will take three nights and four days, covering 30 to 40 kilometers each day. It is being led by Peace Corps Volunteer William Vu.
The Savannah region shares some of the same Sahelian semi-arid climatic conditions as its neighbors Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Benin. It is ranked as the country's poorest region with 90 percent of the population, more than 650,000 people, either unemployed or earning only a fraction of the average $360 per year annual income. Malnutrition is prevalent in this area.
The Moringa tree is often called the "Miracle Tree", as it is so high in nutritional value. Almost every part can be used for food or has some other beneficial use.
The leaves are a significant source of beta-carotene, Vitamin C, protein, iron, and potassium. The leaves can be eaten fresh, cooked. or dried and crushed into a powder.
The Moringa seeds yield a useful botanical oil. The seed cake that remains may be used to purify water, and can also serve as a fertilizer. In addition, the bark, sap, roots and flowers all have beneficial uses
The presentation to each community will include an explanation of the importance of proper nutrition, and how Moringa fits into overall health. The usage and preparation of each part of the tree will be taught.
Each village will be given 200 Moringa seeds to start a tree nursery. This will jumpstart the community to grow its own Moringa trees, and will leave a sustainable legacy from the ride.
This effort includes a large undertaking on the part of the communities that are visited. Each will provide a selected parcel of land to start the first Moringa nursery. Local villagers will be responsible for the upkeep of the planted trees as well as sharing the technology with others in the community.
It is estimated that at least 100 people will participate in this project in each of the 13 villages, so 1,300 people will directly benefit.
We are extremely pleased to play a part in this great effort. Hundreds of people in 13 communities will benefit directly from the ride, but the significance of the undertaking far surpasses the immediate result. It will demonstrate a methodology for continuing to spread the concept of the beneficial use of the Moringa tree to the rest of Togo, the other African nations, and the world.
This project has now been fully funded, through the generosity of The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust as a part of their Clean Water Projects initiative.
We encourage others to continue to donate using the Donate button below, and we will notify Peace Corps Volunteer William Vu of your donation. Additional funds will be used to fund the next project by William and/or those of his counterpart PCVs in Togo.

Final arrangements for the Moringa Ride – Togo are shaping up. The bike ride will begin on November 16, 2009, and continue for four days and three nights.
The latest configuration calls for 9 Peace Corps Volunteers and 6 Togolese counterparts to embark on the ride. The contingent will stop at 13 communities along the way.
In addition to teaching the huge benefits of Moringa cultivation and use, and demonstrating the necessary techniques, the group will start a nursery in each community to begin the process.
PCV William Wu, who has been coordinating this effort along with PCV Christian Mason, reports as follows:
We will be starting our ride Monday morning from Dapaong, heading southwest towards Nano, and returning north to finish up the ride with a grand presentation in Cinkasse at the border.
The group has been working on posters and other materials to publicize the ride. The Moringa tree truly lives up to its designation as a "miracle tree".
The effects of this event will reach beyond the range of the communities visited if enough people in enough places know about it. In this regard, everyone can play a part by publicizing this event on their social networks.
Communication by Internet and phone is intermittent, but the group will be in touch with us with updates about their activities. Check back here to read reports as the event progresses.

We are very pleased to report on the outcome of the 2009 running of the Moringa Ride – Togo. Water Charity sponsored this event as a first step in spreading knowledge about the Moringa tree and promoting its use as an important tool in the battle against world hunger.
The result was an extremely successful event that can serve as a model for subsequent rides in Togo, and a methodology that can be replicated elsewhere in places where Moringa use would be beneficial.
The difficulties that are encountered in planning and carrying out a venture such as the Moringa Ride can only be fully appreciated after doing it in the best way possible, and then evaluating what went right and wrong.
It is a daunting task to plan an event in spite of the fact that there is no way to know whether the necessary funds will be forthcoming. In that regard, the organizers, Peace Corps Volunteers William Vu and Christian Mason, are to be commended for pushing ahead despite the uncertainty.
Planning for the event did not begin until 2 months before the scheduled departure date. Water Charity, seeing the importance of the event, and the potential benefits to be derived therefrom, stepped in with support literally weeks to go before the ride was set to begin.
The steps necessary for such an event to succeed are numerous. They start with the obvious tasks to be accomplished to promote the event. They continue with the logistical planning to arrange for the presentation venues. They proceed to arranging for the feeding and lodging of the participants along the route. Finally, there is the training and testing component, to make sure that the participants will be physically able to carry out the mission.
In readying for the ride, William suffered a training injury, falling from his bike and injuring his leg. William reports:
Unfortunately, I'm down in Lome in the medical unit because my leg got infected. This was from falling off my bike a week prior, and with all the preparations leading up to Moringa Ride, I never gave it a chance to properly heal. I'm getting better right now and the antibiotics and rest are helping out a lot.
Talking about the ride, William told us:
I would say that it was a success in that we were able to do Moringa presentations in the 13 communities, and we had significant crowds show up wherever we went.
We were able to discuss all the key points about Moringa, and the only thing we changed in our presentation was the nursery aspect. Instead of giving 200 plastic sacks with seeds to the school or a hospital, we decided to give them out individually. We felt this was easier, and more effective. The individuals would have a more vested interest in the upkeep of their own Moringa Tree. We couldn't give a tree to everyone in the audience, but we targeted village women, since they're the ones who do all the cooking and take care of the children.
In evaluating the outcome of the project, and expressing his appreciation for our support, William comments:
I appreciate everything Water Charity has done for the ride. Our purpose was to spread knowledge of this "Miracle Tree" in the Savannah region. I think it was important that we took the first step to talk about Moringa on such a grand scale. The spectacle of the presentations that we made in each of the 13 communities should lend some credibility to this tree.
What is coming up for the future? William reports:
Once my leg heals up, I will probably go back in a month and see how trees are progressing in the respective communities, as well as to leave an informational booklet on Moringa at the local health clinic.
Plans are underway for repeating this concept next year, to reach areas that the group was unable to include in the 2009 running.
This project has inspired Water Charity to begin a new initiative to promote the use of the Moringa tree in developing countries around the world. We are asking people who are involved in any aspect of the cultivation, dissemination, and use of Moringa to contact us and let us know what you are doing.
This project has now been fully funded, through the generosity of The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust as a part of their Clean Water Projects initiative.
We encourage others to continue to donate using the Donate button below, and we will notify Peace Corps Volunteer William Vu of your donation. Additional funds will be used to fund the next project by William and/or those of his counterpart PCVs in Togo.

Post comment
Brazilian right-back Rafael has agreed to move to Lyon from Manchester United.
All Articles
Manchester United manager David Moyes has admitted there is a "need" to bring in new faces during the transfer window but insists he will not be pressurised into it.
Moyes is still to make his first significant signing since replacing Sir Alex Ferguson.
He had a joint bid for Everton duo Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini turned down on Monday and has also failed to prise Cesc Fabregas away from Barcelona.
However, whilst Moyes acknowledges his squad requires bolstering, he will not spend just for the sake of it.
"There is a need to do it but there's no pressure to do it," said Moyes.
"It's something we've been talking about it since I took the job on July 1.
"I have an idea of where I'd like to strengthen but we won't do it because people tell us we should be signing players.
"If the right players are available great, but if not the first thing we'll do is encourage our own young players in the squad to do as well as they did last year."
United have made it plain this summer they do have the funds to compete in the transfer market, a situation Moyes underlined today.
"Yes I do (believe there is value in the market)," said Moyes.
"But we've only targeted certain players. We don't have a big, big list because there are only certain quality players we want to bring in to the club."
There is still the potential for exploring Juan Mata's availability at Chelsea, although any move for the midfielder would almost certainly be accompanied by Wayne Rooney's exit, something United have continued to insist will not happen.
"We have told you haven't we," said Moyes.
"I hardly need to repeat it again. It doesn't need to be said."
Moyes confirmed full-back Rafael would be missing for "three or four weeks" with a hamstring strain.
In addition, Nani (groin), Ashley Young (ankle) and Javier Hernandez (hamstring) will miss out on Monday night against Chelsea as they recover from their respective injuries.
"Really they are coming back from the effects of not having a proper pre-season because they came back from international duty a bit late," said Moyes.
"Hopefully they are all not too far away now."

The Sonoma International Film Festival opens April 10 with "The Iceman," starring Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, James Franco and Ray Liotta, and closes April 14 with the North American premiere of "A Monkey on My Shoulder," starring Juliette Binoche.
In another marquee event, the SIFF will honor Academy Award-nominated actor Demián Bichir (shown) with the Sonoma Spotlight Award at a tribute event on Saturday, April 13. Bichir received an Academy Award, SAG Award and Independent Spirit Award nominations for Best Actor for his portrayal of an undocumented worker in "A Better Life." He also starred in Steven Soderbergh's 2008 two-part epic "Ché" as a young Fidel Castro, as well as Oliver Stone's "Savages", both with Benicio del Toro. He is also known to television audiences for his role on the Showtime series "Weeds."
"The Spotlight Award focuses on an actor's body of work, highlighting their defining roles and bringing them to the forefront," said SIFF Executive Director Kevin McNeely. "Demián's filmography in both the United States and Latin America is quite extensive and impressive. We're thrilled to be able to celebrate his incredible work."
Directed by Ariel Vromen, "The Iceman" is the true story of Richard Kuklinski, the notorious contract killer who happened to be a family man, a family that had no clue about his real profession until their patriarch was arrested. The opening night festivities take place at the Sebastiani Theatre on Wednesday, April 10 with director Ariel Vromen and Ray Liotta attending.
"A Monkey on My Shoulder (À coeur ouvert)," directed by Marion Laine ("A Simple Heart") and starring Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche ("The English Patient") and Venezuelan superstar Édgar Ramírez ("Carlos"), is a compelling French film that tells the story of two heart surgeons, Mila and Javier. Married for 10 years, they have two passions: their jobs and each other…. until her pregnancy undermines the balance of their relationship.
Now in its 16th year, the Sonoma International Film Festival will present 90 hand-selected films including independent features, documentaries, world cinema, shorts and a showcase of Spanish language films, April 10-14. All films are shown at intimate venues within walking distance of Sonoma Plaza. Find out more at sonomafilmfest.org

The Conservatives recovered remarkably rapidly from the debacle of 1945. Their narrow election victory in 1951 led to 13 years of Conservative rule. How was the party able to reassert itself so quickly and what did it do with its period in power? Winston Churchill hoped to roll back the tide of socialism. Did he succeed, or did the Conservatives, by contrast, help to confirm a new consensus which, while not socialist, could also not be described as capitalist in the classical sense of the term?

Read Poems by
Sruthi Ajith
Life is like a piano
White keys are good moments of life
Black keys are bad moments of life
Both keys when played together gives sweet music
No one is there who always had dark days
There is one and that is me !
There will be a vast to give thoughts on a starting journey
But when it becomes an endless journey
No amicable ones will be there to condole the agony
It`s the spring wheel of time
One who sacrifice is never applauded
Be an autocrat
Never take the words of others
Be the king of the world by one`s own word
This leads to a fruitful life
If not days will be always dispirited

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Four teratogenicity studies in rats (three with oral doses and one with intravenous doses up to 160 mg/kg/day administered during the period of major organogenesis) and two in rabbits at oral doses up to 125 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the recommended maximum human dose based on mg/m 2) or intravenous doses of 30 mg/kg/day administered during gestation days 6 to 18 failed to demonstrate any teratogenicity from clarithromycin. Two additional oral studies in a different rat strain at similar doses and similar conditions demonstrated a low incidence of cardiovascular anomalies at doses of 150 mg/kg/day administered during gestation days 6 to 15. Plasma levels after 150 mg/kg/day were 2 times the human serum levels. Four studies in mice revealed a variable incidence of cleft palate following oral doses of 1000 mg/kg/day (2 and 4 times the recommended maximum human dose based on mg/m2, respectively) during gestation days 6 to 15. Cleft palate was also seen at 500 mg/kg/day. The 1000 mg/kg/day exposure resulted in plasma levels 17 times the human serum levels. In monkeys, an oral dose of 70 mg/kg/day (an approximate equidose of the recommended maximum human dose based on mg/m2) produced fetal growth retardation at plasma levels that were 2 times the human serum levels.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Clarithromycin should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. (See WARNINGS.)
Overdosage of clarithromycin can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea.
Adverse reactions accompanying overdosage should be treated by the prompt elimination of unabsorbed drug and supportive measures. As with other macrolides, clarithromycin serum concentrations are not expected to be appreciably affected by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Clarithromycin is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to clarithromycin, erythromycin, or any of the macrolide antibiotics.
Concomitant administration of clarithromycin and any of the following drugs is contraindicated: cisapride, pimozide, astemizole, terfenadine, and ergotamine or dihydroergotamine (see Drug Interactions). There have been postmarketing reports of drug interactions when clarithromycin and/or erythromycin are coadministered with cisapride, pimozide, astemizole, or terfenadine resulting in cardiac arrhythmias (QT prolongation, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsades de pointes) most likely due to the inhibition of metabolism of these drugs by erythromycin and clarithromycin. Fatalities have been reported.
For information about contraindications of other drugs indicated in combination with clarithromycin, refer to the CONTRAINDICATIONS section of their package inserts.

Part of it is the stakes. Massachusetts is one of only two realistic pickup opportunities for Democrats. But another reason why the candidates' sound bites are receiving a great deal of coverage is that Warren and Brown are largely untested, politically, and opponents see an opportunity to frame each of them in a negative light to voters. Warren has never run for elected office before and Brown ran in the special election in 2009, but has no other statewide campaign experience. Strategists on both sides and voters in the state remember well the 2009 special election campaign, in which gaffes played a big role, especially those from Democratic nominee Martha Coakley. Who can forget Coakley's comments about not wanting to stand outside Fenway Park in the cold to campaign? "They want to replay what they were able to do to Coakley, which is to say that she is out of step or doesn't understand the problems of the people in Massachusetts," said Bay State Democratic strategist Michael Goldman. A replay of 2009/10 is not the only thing on the mind of Republicans. Some point to the gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Robert Reich in 2002, which ultimately fell short. "He didn't know where Berkshire County was in western Massachusetts... that kind of resonates with people," said former Rep. Peter Torkildsen, R-Mass. A glance at the early polling in the race also illustrates why both sides are eager to mine for sound bites or off the cuff remarks that could have legs. The most recent Western New England University survey showed that over 46 percent of voters either did not have an opinion or had not heard of Warren. Republicans see an opportunity to define her early. The same poll showed that there is room for improvement for Warren among independents: A majority preferred Brown. If Democrats can highlight Brown saying something that could turn off a broad swath of the electorate, it could help Warren's case with the middle. So far, Warren has held her own, proving to be a capable debater and competent campaigner. None of the sound bites or videos Republicans have distributed appears to be very damaging. For Brown, the "Thank God" gaffe was unwise, but it's better for him that it happened now and now next fall. Much as the video/audio back-and-forth has dominated the early days of the race, the economy is still the number one issue on voters' minds, and will likely take center stage once the general election begins. The question is who will have won the definition war by then.

The Burrill Report
The Burrill Report (April 22, 2013): Back to that Same Old Place (.MP3,17.02 Mb)
As the BIO International Convention gets underway in Chicago April 22, the industry's biggest companies are trading at record highs, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has picked up the pace of new drug approvals, and potential new products in development offer reasons for enthusiasm. But financing remains challenging, global intellectual property and regulatory issues are growing, and the challenge of securing rewards for innovation remains a concern. We spoke to Jim Greenwood, president and CEO of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, about the state of the industry on the eve of the convention, the policy matters before it, and what's ahead in the coming year.

In case you missed it, Google recently re branded Sitemaps and added a few things to what is now Google Webmaster Central. There have been a few mentions of the change, but with many seo bloggers at S.E.S. San Jose the change has fallen somewhere below the radar. I signed up with an account for this post and can report the revamped Webmaster Central looks pretty good after a quick look.
Last Friday MC (I promised I wouldn't mention his name for awhile) put out another video, Google Webmaster Tools in which he talks about the change from to Webmaster Tools. I'll let you watch his video for the MC perspective and give you mine below.
If you have a Google account you can simply login to Webmaster Tools and add your site. If you don't already have an account you must not be using any Google product, but a new account is easy to get. You don't need to add a sitemap, just tell Google the domain and verify you own it, by either making a change to one of your pages or adding a meta tag to your home page. Once verified Google immediately gives you some data about the site.
There are three tabs to choose from. Diagnostics, Statistics, Sitemaps. The Diagnostics tab will give you some information about what happened when Google crawled the site, including when they last successfully accessed your home page. I'm showing no http errors, no URLs not followed, no urls timing out, and no unreachable URLs. Google is aware of three URLs I've asked them not to crawl in my robots.txt file, though I know I've listed more than three and apparently four times GoogleBot encountered a 404 error on my site. One was a test blog post which is no longer there and the other three were typos in URLs to other sites all of which I just fixed. Bet you didn't even notice I was gone.
The statistics tab is listing 20 Google searches where one of my pages ranks including the position of my page. You can choose either 'all searches' or 'only web searches' and also choose from a number of Google locations like Google Australia or Google UK. I left it at the default 'all locations.' The table of results can be downloaded if I wish and there's another table which lists the 'top search query clicks.' No data is available for my site at this time, hopefully because I only signed up at the start of this post and not because no one ever clicks to my site. I know some people have found their way to me through Google. At least that's what some of my other stats programs tell me.
You can also access crawl stats which are telling me that some of my pages have medium page rank while the majority have a low page rank and only a few pages haven't yet been assigned any page rank at all. The last are probably my most recent posts here. This looks like real page rank too. I can even tell you the main page for this blog is showing the highest page rank for the entire site.
Page analysis stats are showing me words in my site's content such as hosting, design, and css. I certainly knew those words were there, but it's interesting to see what Google decides to list. They are also showing me some of the words in external links to my site. Apparently someone's using the word 'gif' in anchor text to the site. Index stats list a few advanced search operators like site: and link: telling you what each is for and also conveniently providing a link to that search. All pretty useful stuff that I could get on my own, but still nice to have in one place.
Google Webmaster Central also includes links to the new Google blog for Webmasters and the Google discussion group for webmasters. Both of which seem to be part of Google's effort to become more transparent to webmasters and the seo community. Hopefully both will prove to be useful resources. There's even a help section called Webmaster help Center.
I'll be honest in that I never previously used Google Sitemaps so I can't really offer a comparison to what was, but the new Webmaster Central looks pretty good. Signing up was very easy and I already fixed three link errors on my site as well as found some good details about how Google sees my site. I haven't read through what's in the blog and discussion group yet, but certainly will. Overall the tools look useful if only to understand how Google sees my site a little better and I can only imagine more tools being added in the future.
The change from Sitemaps to Webmaster Central may still be under the radar for many, but I think before long a lot of webmasters will be adding their site and taking advantage of the new things Google has to offer.

Villagers record their own memories on online archive
Posted: November 29, 2012|
Memories and stories of life in Paulton and what villagers value about their heritage have been collected as part of on online archive.
The event formed part of the Quest project, which is creating the archive with communities across Bath and North East Somerset.
Taking part in the initiative were Terry and Caroline Wynne, who talked about their charitable work in the village.
The couple run the Paulton Hospital Charity Shop and have raised thousands of pounds.
The event was organised with Margaret Youngs, of the Methodist Church, and took place during a coffee morning.
Volunteers from the Quest project and Bath Spa University's history department have been carrying out the "people's survey" encouraging people to share a special person, place, building or object for the archive.
The survey coincides with an initiative to record local history in photos, stories and film.
The People's Archive is part of a national community movement to record people's history in the making. Share your photos, stories and films by visiting www.myquest bathnes.org.uk/content/category/ peoples-archive-2012.

Nikon Coolpix S3600 Review -- First Impressions
by Dave Pardue
Preview posted: 01/07/2014
Coming in at the middle spot of what Nikon calls their "Budget Friendly Cameras" line, the Coolpix S3600 is the successor to last year's Coolpix S3500 and boasts a few notable upgrades.
Moving up to an 8x optical NIKKOR lens (from 7x) it shares additional features with its predecessor such as up to 4x digital zoom, a 20.1-megapixel 1/2.3" CCD sensor, a 230K-dot LCD and 1280 x 720 HD video at 30p. With the longer zoom, maximum aperture drops from a range of f/3.4-6.4 on the S3500 to f/3.7-6.6 on the S3600.
Also new is a feature Nikon calls Dynamic Fine Zoom, which is said to improve image quality for the first 2x of the digital zoom. The company doesn't say how this is achieved, but it sounds conceptually similar to Sony's Clear Image Zoom, which works using pattern matching algorithms to boost the quality of the digital zoom's interpolation. In other words, it makes smarter guesses.
Burst shooting performance is reported to be the same at up to 6 shots at 1.1 fps. Lens shift VR remains from the predecessor for still shots, while the S3600 adds Electronic VR for enhanced vibration reduction while shooting video. The S3600 comes with 18 Scene Modes which allow for enhanced assistance for maximizing image quality in varying shooting situations and incorporates Nikon's Smart Portrait System and Target Finding AF for enhanced detail and sharpness.
The S3600 uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated at 230 shots per charge and supports SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. The camera includes 25MB of internal memory as well. Connectivity options include a USB port and composite A/V outputs.
The Coolpix S3600 will be available from February 2014 for a suggested retail price of US$139.95 and will be offered in silver, black, pink or blue.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
MANAMA, Bahrain, March 8, 1999 Defense Secretary William S. Cohen and Bahraini ruler Emir Sheikh Isa bin Sulman Alkhalifa met March 6 according to schedule. For 30 minutes, the long-time friends discussed peace in the Persian Gulf region and other defense matters and then parted.
Leaving the meeting, Cohen told Crown Prince Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, commander of Bahrain's defense forces, that the emir didn't seem to be himself. The secretary's observation proved prophetic.
Five minutes after Cohen left the meeting at a downtown government office building, the 66-year-old emir collapsed and died of a heart attack. The first indication some of Cohen's traveling party had that something was wrong was when a silent motorcade and an ambulance sped past them as their cars headed to the airport. The second was when Bahraini radio and television stations moments later began airing holy men reading from the Koran, the Muslim holy book, signaling the death of a high official.
A stunned Cohen learned of Sheikh Isa's death from Bahrain's prime minister and delayed his departure to pay his respects to the royal family.
"I could tell something wasn't quite right," the secretary said. "He was a very warm, generous spirit with a light in his eye that was not there today." Cohen issued a statement calling the emir's death a great loss to the people of his country, to the Gulf region and to the United States.
"His care and concern for the people of Bahrain made him an effective and beloved leader," Cohen said. "His tireless work for peace and stability is one of his greatest legacies." He said he will miss the late emir's "wise counsel, warm friendship and steady support for the efforts of the United States to promote peace."
Cohen called Sheikh Isa "a strong and loyal friend to the United States and particularly to the U.S. Navy." Bahrain has hosted a U.S. Navy support unit since 1971 and currently hosts U.S. Central Command's naval component headquarters and Fifth Fleet headquarters. The small island state of 640,000 people is strategically located near Iran and Iraq and the main shipping channels to Kuwait and Saudi.
Sheikh Isa, recently treated in the United States for a heart condition, had ruled the oil-rich emirate since 1961. He is succeeded as emir by the crown prince, 49.
Cohen said he looks forward to working with Sheikh Hamad. "Since founding the Bahrain Defense Force 30 years ago," the secretary said, "he also has worked tirelessly for the security of Bahrain and for peace and stability in the region. I have worked closely with him for many years and consider him a loyal friend."
During his meeting with the late emir, Cohen recalled, "His Highness spoke of the need to work for peace in the region. This was the theme that he stressed in each of our many meetings and during his visit with President Clinton last year." Cohen said they discussed the problems of terrorism and the threat of weapons of mass destruction in Iran and Iraq, and he had assured Bahrain's leaders that the U.S. containment policy toward Iraq remains firm.
"The United States, like Bahrain, wants an Iraq that is unified, peaceful and prosperous, an Iraq that respects the United Nations, its neighbors and its own people," he said. In the face of Iraq's defiance of the international community, Cohen said, the United States is supporting the U.N. Security Council's policies to keep Iraq from threatening its neighbors.
The secretary announced a special telephone line is being set up to improve communications between the Pentagon and the Bahraini defense ministry. He also said the United States has approved Bahrain's purchase of 27 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles, to be delivered in 2002. Compared to its predecessor, the AIM-7 Sparrow, the AMRAAM is faster, smaller, lighter and has improved capabilities against low-altitude targets, U.S. defense officials said.
Cohen's stop in Bahrain was the first on a nine-day trip to meet with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan and Israel. The secretary is scheduled to return to Washington Mar. 12.

KAMPALA, Uganda 2/8/12 (PennWell) -- Uganda's prime minister has commissioned the first part of the 250-MW Bujagali hydroelectric power plant, Bloomberg reports.
The project, on the Victoria Nile River, is expected to be complete in July. So far, one of the facility's five 50-MW turbines has been activated, according to Uganda Electricity Generation Company managing director Simon D'Ujanga.
Construction of the project began in August 2007, though bids for work on the project have been solicited as recently as January 2012. The project is sponsored by Industrial Promotion Services Limited and SG Bujagali Holdings LTD.
