Chavistas Tell Free Market Think Tanks to Shut Up
The Cato Institute must be doing something right. It's definitely gotten under the skin of Venezuelan caudillo Hugo Chavez.
For years Cato has hosted seminars, which it calls
Earlier this week, Cato held another Cato University, this time in Caucagua, Venezuela, and the Venezuelan think tank Centro de Divulgación del Conocimiento Económico por la Libertad (CEDICE) was a co-host. Cato reports:
During the course of the event on Monday, the National Guard, state television and a state representative from a ministry of higher education interrupted the seminar, demanding that the seminar be shut down on the grounds that the event organizers did not have permission to establish a university in
. When the authorities were told that neither Cato nor CEDICE was establishing a university and that the Cato Institute has long sponsored student seminars called Cato Universities, the authorities then insisted that the seminar was in violation of Venezuelan law for false advertising. Venezuela
After two hours of groundless accusations, the Chavez representatives left but their harassment has continued. One of the speakers at the seminar, Peruvian intellectual Alvaro Vargas Llosa, was detained by airport authorities Monday afternoon for three hours for no apparent reason. He was released and told that he could stay in the country as long as he did not express political opinions in

Later, Chavez supporters organized a protest rally in front of the conference hotel.
Apparently, Chavez believes that Cato's programs are part of a
This isn't the first time Cato has been a stick in the eye for Chavez. Cato awarded its 2008 Milton Friedman Prize to Yon Goicoechea, the student leader who led the opposition to Chavez's effort in 2007 to amend the Venezuelan constitution to give himself more power.

Cork: Experience the 'County of Contrasts'
Situated on Ireland's south-west coast, Cork is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland, and County Cork the largest county in Ireland. This scenic corner of the Emerald Isle is characterized by a coastline of rocky headlands, secret coves and sweeping bays, with green pastures and many monuments inland.
County Cork has many attractions, including Ireland's 'culinary capital', located in the pretty sailing town of Kinsale, home to a great number of gastronomic restaurants and which is also the oldest town in Ireland. Step ashore and experience an authentic taste of Ireland, and enter a 'county of contrasts'. With a large deep-water cruise terminal in the Port of Cork, your luxury MSC cruise ship can dock easily, affording travelers a quick passage into the city centre.
Leave your MSC cruise ship for the day and maximize your holiday time by joining one of our MSC shore excursion packages. Designed to offer something for everyone, choose from city sights to trips further afield, or the best deals on local attractions.
The Heritage Centre at the seaside town of Cobh (pronounced 'cove') is always a popular choice as it charts the history of Irish emigrants, including Annie Moore, the first emigrant to be officially processed in the United States. No visit to Cork is complete without a visit to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone; bend backwards and you'll be endowed with the 'gift of the gab'… perfect for recounting your vacation memories once back home!

Gold fibula (brooch)
Iron Age, 1-75 AD
Found near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, England
The Market Rasen Brooch
This unusual gold brooch was found by someone using a metal detector in Lincolnshire. The complicated shape of the head of the brooch gives the impression that it was made to look like a grotesque bird. The name of this type of brooch, 'Birdlip', comes from the place were another example was found. These brooches were made and worn by people living just before and after the Roman Conquest of southern England in AD 43.
The shape of the brooch is not very common, and it is very unusual for an Iron Age brooch to have been made from gold. Considerable care was given to making this brooch, even down to engraving a tiny La Tène design on the catch plate of the brooch's foot.

JSP functionality
I have some code in JSP and in XML. I have defined XML node as follows
This is the Ok button node which is attached to the Bottom Button Bar in an another node. This button bar contains Cancel button also.
I have written a jsp page where this bottom buttom bar is placed in the page as a one of the Widget.
What my doubt is how to write a code on JSP page, when i press a Enter key on Key board it should activate Ok button. This page contains Ok, Cancel button and some text fields also.
Please let me know
make it focused
Let's see:
You post this in a place so completely and utterly off topic to the subject of your question I have to wonder if you have any understanding of what you're doing at all.
You also have a poor understanding of the word "doubt" as you use it incorrectly (in fact you are using a completely incorrect word).
I'd start by learning English, then learning to find the correct place to post questions, then start learning first HTML and then JSP, and then maybe post some questions and do it in the correct place.

Fast food restaurants usually aren't go-to eatery options for folks seeking to eat healthfully. When the food is prepared fast, it is generally not a memorable gastronomical experience.
However, that perception is changing in the Philadelphia, as reported by Philly.com. Fast-food restaurants with menu selections that epicureans, vegetarians, and foodies just may call their happy meals
The culinary landscape of the Capital of Cheesesteaks is heading uptown with healthy fast-food restaurants such as Rotisseur, Honeygrow, HipCityVeg, and Pure Fare.
The food at HipCity is appealing, regardless of your protein proclivities. A portobello mushroom sandwich comes crispy with buffalo sauce and celery slaw, an arugula taco salad has vibrant pico de gallo, and the Ziggy veggie burger gets a dash of a smoked tempeh sauce - "our version of a Big Mac," Marquis said.
The chickens at Rotisseur are from the high-end purveyor D'Artagnan. Owner Matzkin confirms that his birds get brined before their turn in the oven, but won't disclose his cooking methods.

Study Using Citrate to Replace Heparin in Babies Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of citrate to provide anticoagulation of an ECMO circuit without patient anticoagulation. The standard method of providing ECMO circuit anticoagulation is the use of heparin which also anticoagulates the patient and increases the risk of patient bleeding.
Heart Defects, Congenital
Respiratory Insufficiency
Drug: sodium citrate
Phase 0
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Regional Citrate Anticoagulation in ECMO
- anticoagulation of ECMO circuit while maintaining normal coagulation and calcium levels in patient [ Time Frame: hourly ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Maintain normal serum calcium levels in patients [ Time Frame: hourly ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
|Study Start Date:
|January 2010
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Citrate
Sodium citrate will be infused as the blood enters the ECMO circuit and calcium chloride will be infused as the blood leaves the ECMO circuit and enters the patient
Drug: sodium citrate
Continuous infusion of 4% sodium citrate at 300 ml/hour into ECMO circuit
Detailed Description:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of extended heart/lung bypass support that has been used to treat more than 650 patients over 20 years at Vanderbilt. Over 29,000 patients have been treated worldwide. Bleeding is the most common complication during ECMO because of systemic anticoagulation with heparin. It is most commonly seen in patients following surgery either preceding or while on ECMO support. Regional citrate anticoagulation for hemodialysis was first introduced in 1961. It is the ideal alternative to heparin in patients who are at increased risk for bleeding. It permits effective anticoagulation across the extracorporeal circuit without impacting the patient's systemic coagulation. Citrate functions by binding free calcium, thereby inhibiting coagulation in both the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of citrate as a regional anticoagulant in the ECMO circuit in high risk infants less than one year of age.

Nha Trang Nightlife
What to Do at Night in Nha Trang
Nha Trang has a lot of bars but pretty much only two places where people go late.
As things stand the early evening competition is what makes or breaks bars here so expect unlimited bargains during happy hour, usually from 19:00 - 22:00.
Bar Oz
Tourists dub it the 'hole in the wall bar' but Bar Oz is popular with Australian expats and international tourists. Despite its size, Bar Oz has reputation for being a friendly place with great atmosphere. You can watch all the Aussie games here. The owner Greg has just opened a guesthouse close to it. Bar Oz is open from breakfast (a hearty cooked breakfast and a big mug of coffee) until late at night.
- Address: 26b Tran Quang Khai
Booze Cruise Bar & Grill
This is the place where you go to watch games. The establishment claims to show all major sporting events including AFL, NRL, Euro 2012 and much more. It is a lively place with music and dance as its staple activities. The fast food menu includes a variety of American-styled burgers, pizza, sandwiches and some Vietnamese fried noodles, served from early morning until late at night. You can also join in the fun abroad its signature 'party boat' (kitted out with two bars on board), where you will meet the like-minded travelers.
- Address: 110 Nguyen Thien Thuat
- Tel: +84 168 844 7233
Checkpoint Bar & Restaurant

Staffed by Vietnamese and friendly Russians, Checkpoint is air conditioned, complete with disco bar, verandah and children's corner It is frequented by international folks, is lively and stays open until after 03:00.
- Address: 27 Nguyen Thien Thuat
- Tel: +84 58 352 3905
Crazy Kim Bar
Living up to its moniker, Crazy Kim is a pretty wild place with an untamed clientele. In the heart of the backpacker area, Crazy Kim is particularly popular with the diving community so expect lots of underwater chat.
If you are interested in food, note that the cuisine here is Mexican and Vietnamese.
Tired from too much dancing? Then lie in one of the hammocks dotted about the bar area. Proceeds from this rather eccentric bar ostensibly go to protecting local children from sexual predators.
- Address: 19 Biet Thu Street
- Tel: (058) 816-072
Guava Sports Bar, Restaurant & Lounge
Centrally located, Guava has a good reputation as being young and chic with occasional good live acts and comfortable armchairs, from which to enjoy tasty cocktails and listening to rich bassy lounge music. It has a large lounge area with a TV showing sporting events, pool and darts. A mixed collection of music caters for all tastes and ages. Guava is open until 01:00.
- Address: 17 Biet Thu Street
- Tel: +84 58 352 4140

The Sailing Club
By the time midnight has arrived, if you're not already there, better head over to the Sailing Club. This is the late-night gathering spot for nearly everyone who is still up in Nha Trang. Located right on the beach, the Sailing Club has large seating areas both inside and out, and at night, a dance floor that gets crowded. The Sailing Club organizes a full-moon party once a month called Insomnia.
- Opening Hours: 10:00 – 02:00 daily
- Address: 72-74 Tran Phu Street – Across from the Hai Yen Hotel
- Tel: +84 58 352 4628

- Address: 56a Nguyen Thien Thuat Street
- Tel: +84 58 352 1117
Why Not Bar
Almost all of Nha Trang's bars are obliged by law to close at midnight but Why Not (open until 04:00) is one of the few that have slipped through the net and not many of its late-night patrons are arguing against this.

- Address: 24 Tran Quang Khai Street
- Tel: (058) 811-652
Yasaka Beach & Bar

- Tel: +84 58 382 0090

Just curious ......
I have two blogs. One I do by myself and one I do jointly with a friend and business associate. I know some folks here at SuN have visited because the stats tell me of the referrals. I thank you for visiting.
The blogs I participate in are for fun. Yes, on one, I promote a part of my business. However, it is more about spreading a philosophy than making money ... that will come.
I would like to hear from other SuN members on how their blogs are doing, why they started them, how they have grown, frustrations, successes, growth strategies, marketing, etc. Anything related to your blog. Share it if you will.
I started my LOA blog right at 6 months ago. Traffic was REALLY light at first (maybe it is now, I dunno). After 6 months I`m averaging 60+ views a day with a best day of 205 views and it is growing by leaps and bounds the last 2 months. I am about to surpass 11,000 total views this week. I don`t know if this is good, bad, great, sucky wow-wow, or what ... I`m pleased and that`s all that matters at the moment.
Our LABS blog has been up 2 months. Averaging about 10 views a day and growing better in the last 14 days. Funny thing is LABS has more Feed Reads than LOA. Don`t know why ... yet.
Just curious ... let`s hear your Blog Report.

look, this is nonsense - i mean i know they are leaders, and they 'know how to win', but there is going to be a point in these guys careers when veterans or not they are simply not going to be NHL players, and that seems like it is sooner rather than later.
on paper we have 4 strong lines. on the ice we have bobby holik who looks like his career is about over, and jay pandolfo and john madden who've aged 3 years over the summer. and i don't have too much confidence that these guys simply have a switch to turn on. my problem with holik is that he hasn't been close to the 'force' we were promised in the off-season. he just looks lost these last few games and his line is accomplishing nothing.
Madden and Pandolfo haven't aged much at all. They are both skating the way they have in the past just have had some tough breaks. They aren't playing as much as in past years and that is clearly an adjustment for these guys. In the end they will have more intensity and more energy come playoffs. Holik hasn't been as bad as you make him out to be other then poor penalties. He has been great in the defensive zone and is a force down low. I only expected 30 points this season on the 4th line with Holik. He earns his paycheck in defensive zone faceoffs, cycling down low, and softening up the defensmen.

Active Living Plans and Resources
How communities are becoming active communities
Across Minnesota, communities are making it easier to bike and walk. Cities and counties are working on creating master walk and bike plans; updating municipal plans to include "complete streets" with sidewalks and crosswalks; increasing access to connected walking and bicycling networks; connecting and promoting trail systems; and collaborating on projects that improve walkability and bikeability in communities.
MDH can help. With the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP), local public health agencies across the state offer support to communities seeking to make active living easier.
The SHIP Active Living for Communities Guide to Implementation provides a description and scope of the strategy. Detailed strategy information can be found on the Grantee Support – Implementation webpage.

Gold aureus of emperor Claudius
Roman, AD 46-47
Minted at Rome, Italy
Romans 1, Ancient Britons 0
For the ancient Romans, Britain was on the edge of the known world, beyond the bounds of the Ocean. In the Roman imagination, conquering Britain always had something of the magical and mythical about it. In 55 and 54 BC, Julius Caesar attacked Britain twice but failed to establish Roman control. In AD 43, the emperor Claudius launched the definitive invasion of Britain. His general Aulus Plautius won a pitched battle near Camulodunum (Colchester, Essex). Within a few years, most of southern Britain was in the hands of the Romans. Britain remained a Roman province until the early fifth century AD, an occupation which transformed the culture of the island.
This coin celebrates Claudius' triumph over Britain. The back shows a triumphal arch, of the sort erected by Romans in honour of a victorious general, rather like London's Marble Arch or the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. On the top we see Claudius on horseback with two trophies of weapons either side of him. The letters on the arch read DE BRITANN, which is the Latin for '[A triumph] over the Britons'. A fragment of the arch can still be seen at the Capitoline Museum in Rome.

Stars to attend match
Posted: September 27, 2012|
SPORTING legends are expected to return to St Agnes Rugby Club for its second star-studded charity match next year.
It follows the success of a charity game in May in which St Agnes Barbarians took on a London Wasps Legends' team, starring England World Cup winner Josh Lewsey and former Scotland international Kenny Logan.
The match attracted 2,000 spectators and raised £25,000 for local causes, including £1,000 for Max Levene who was paralysed while playing rugby for Truro School. ShelterBox received £3,000, £1,000 went to Friends of St Agnes Surgery and the rest to sports clubs within the village.
St Agnes RFC secretary Tim Bawden said the match has become a key fixture in the Legends' tour.
Lewsey said: "Wasp legends play four games a year. St Agnes is by far the best. The hospitality, set up and atmosphere were fantastic."
Mr Bawden said a black tie dinner will take place on the eve of the match, where some big rugby names are expected to attend and recount their sporting tales during a question and answer session.
Former St Agnes Club player Guy Levene praised the club's efforts as a great boost to his son Max.
"Words cannot express the warmth and gratitude that I feel for you all. Through your efforts you have done so much more than to raise money; you have raised morale. Max remains a fervent fan of the game and now Yvonne, who frankly never really understood my passion when I was playing, is a full convert to the sport. I wish you all the best for this season and for the years ahead and I shall be raising a glass to you all from Africa."

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Baseball team waited ten days but finally got a chance to shake their slump, sweeping Knox College 5-1 and 13-8 at The Ballpark at Strong Stadium on Tuesday.
In the game one seven-inning win, Alex Norman went the distance for his third win of the season while Mike Ross went 3-3 with a pair of RBIs to lead the way.
The Buccaneers jumped on top in the bottom of the opening inning when Ross hit a two-run, two-out single. The Prairie Fire got their lone run in the top of the second but Beloit matched it in the bottom of the inning on Jake Majeski's run-scoring double.
The teams traded zeros for the next few innings before the Bucs put some insurance on the board in the bottom of the sixth with a Sean Little RBI single and Jon Siil's two-out, run-scoring single.
Norman gave up two hits while striking out five and walking two.
Game two got exciting early. After a 1-2-3 first for both squads, the Buccaneers plated three unearned in the second, the big hit coming from Mike Kovach with a two-run double. But Knox scored three of their own in the top of the third to tie it back up.
Beloit got the lead for good in the bottom of the third, with Ross hitting a sacrifice fly and Little a two-run double. KC got one of those runs back in the top of the fourth before the Bucs matched it in the bottom of the inning on a Dan Edwards single.
Knox scored another run to close to within 7-5 in the fifth before the Buccaneers seemingly broke it open with three more scores in the bottom of five. Kovach drove in the first run and Majeski the last two to put Beloit up 10-5 thru five.
But the Prairie Fire wasn't done. They got one in the sixth and two in the seventh to make it 10-8. Beloit finally got a cushion with three more runs in the eighth, with Ross, Rick Chernik and Little getting the RBIs.
Starter Dalton Deckert was credited with the win. Kovach shut down the Prairie Fire in order in the eighth and ninth for the save.
Jake Tresemer had three hits while Kovach, Majeski and Ross each had two in game two.
The Buccaneers have one day off before hitting the road, playing at 24th-ranked and defending National Champion Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois, on Thursday. The first game begins at 2:00 p.m.

We are sorry to announce that we are NOT having the Swinkey Corn Maze this year (2014). We just decided it was best to take a break from it this year. At this time, we are not sure if or when the maze will come back. We will just have to wait and see what next year brings.
On behalf of the Indian Creek Knights of Columbus, thank you to all who have supported the Swinkey Corn Maze over the past 10 years or so. I know we've had some very loyal fans over the years. Your support has been greatly appreciated.

(Cal Sport Media via AP)UCLA defensive end Eddie Vanderdoes will miss the rest of spring with a broken foot, Bruins coach Jim Mora told reporters on Tuesday. Vanderdoes suffered the injury during conditioning drills, Mora said.The 6-foot-4, 305-pound end, who started seven games for UCLA as a true freshman last season, was on a scooter and out of uniform on Tuesday. Mora said Vanderdoes should be back on both feet by the summer."You saw that Eddie Vanderdoes was on one of those three-wheelers," Mora said. "He broke his foot, for those of you who don't know it. He'll miss spring but he'll be good to go for summer."Vanderdoes was a key cog on the Bruins' defensive line in his first season. The native of Auburn, Calif., made 39 tackles in 2013, including 11 against Stanford, the most by a UCLA defensive lineman since 1992.

I have the NYX jumbo pencil in Milk, but I haven't been able to sharpen it! So, do you use a regular everyday sharpener, or does NYX have one for their jumbo pencils?
I went to an art store and bought a dual sharpener (one end is for regular pencils and the other for large). My NYX Jumbo Pencils fit great and it sharpens them without waste. I also have a NYC pink glitter sharpener that works :)
I'm loving the new website :D Thanks for doing this list, it's been really helpful. I'm getting a Dinair kit for my birthday in 8 days :D Dead excited x
I know of a siamlur product that I have used that does one of the functions this software does (monitor active keywords that others are using). But the service I have used has a high recuring fee (I got it free with my membership to My Silent Team).If you want to do Adwords/PPC, it just makes sense to go in with as much data as possible. It is all too easy to spend a whole lot of money really quick and not make a thing back. Getting clicks is great, but you need to get conversions to be profitable. This tool will enable a marketer to watch a specific keyword. If you see another marketer running the same Keyword for an extended period, you can be fairly sure that they are running a successful campain and if you do the exact same thing with that keyword, you should also end up with a profitable campain.Thanks so much for making us aware of this great tool!Cheers!Jeromy (AKA Hillbilly)
Love the new look website!
Can't believe you lost your Ripe Peach! Argh! I would be so depressed to!
could you please, please make a list of the products?
I couldn't really catch most of the brands since you went through the products so fast~
thank you <3
So glad ur site is working!! I'll for sure have to save up for the dinair kit when I get back from japan In august. Have a great new year.
Because of you my sister and I went to an Inglot store an hour and half away from where we live and I have to say it was the best decision ever! LOVE LOVE LOVE the Inglot eyeshadows, great quality and great price… Thank you so much for introducing us to them! :)
What to you recommend for eyebrow pencils? My natural hair color is a very dark brown so my eyebrows are almost black in color but I dye my hair like a cherry red (it fades into an auburn in like two months.) I've thinned my brows out a lot just so the color difference isn't as noticeable but I'd like a quick easy way (like a pencil) to lighten them some so they match better. Any suggestion?
my eyebrows are really dark and i also changed my hair to red. I asked someone at ulta about it and i got Anastasia's brow powder duo in stawburn put on. i got it immediately! it does not smudge or melt off like pencils, it defines without making my brows look darker, and the red hue on the brows doesnt make my haircolor look fake
Thanks so much! I'll check that out.
I love that Royal Blue glittery Nubar color! What's the name of it?
Yeah Sugarpill =D Love this brand !
I have Too Faced Shadow Insurance, and while it totally lives up to it's name, I have noticed that when I first open the cap something like a clear grease seeps out. I have to roll the tube between my hand several times for the 'ingredients' to mix together or else I get a mess. Any thoughts on why this happens? Has it happened to you?
it's like salad dressing or ketchup. it's a suspension mixture, so it needs to be shaken prior to use or the liquid will come out (much like how liquid comes out when you dont shake ketchup). it's very normal, just shake! :)
I really wish Inglot was more available to us than in Vegas, NY, or Southern California. I'd really like to try it lol.
I'm a newbe to your wonderful blob and have the bare essentials of makeup products and was wondering if you would do a video on the basic brushes needed. I have none and would like to get some, but don't know what I need or really how to use them.
Elf (eyeslipsface.com) has TONS of great brushes, and they are only $1-$5
they are great for beginners and professionals, their Studio line is the best of their brushes
Hey Leesha! I was wondering why the Kat Von D liquid liner didn't make it in your favorites video. You seemed to like it a lot.
oooh I want Brilliant nail polish by Nubar!
I love your new website layout!! I have a few tutorial suggestions for you too! I think you should to a rainbow look with your inglot colors and I also think you should do a tropical themed look!
So, I can't spend a lot on products just because I have zero income, and whatever money I do get, instantly gets spent on products. My all time favorite chap-stick (I'm like you, and don't like wearing lipsticks and stuff), has got to be this amazing stuff that I cam across. I originally bought it just because it looked cute, but I definitely recommend it to everyone. It's called Eos Organic Lip Balm, and I use the Summer Fruit flavor, however I'm really wanting to try their lemon.
As for other stuff, I'm still in love with Hot Topic's Eyeliners just because they're not expensive, they're super creamy so they go on easily, and as long as I set them with a matte powder, they stay on a long time. I'm sure they'd stay on if I didn't set them, it's just because they're so creamy, the smudge easily without setting.
Some other products that I've been using for a long time are the Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer, CoverGirl Face Powder, and Maybeline Falsies mascara. They're super great for the price.
Two last things that I'm super in love with this past year are for my hair. The BedHead Split End Mender. Oh my goodness. My hair is really fragile and finicky, so it's hard for me to keep it healthy, especially after dying it. This stuff has done wonders for my hair. It's so healthy now, and even after bleaching and dying! The other thing is a volume cream- Regis Designline Thickening Cream. A lot of times, I'll shower at night and fix my hair in the morning, which results in really flat or blah hair. All I have to do with this stuff, its pump a bit into my hands and run it through, then blowdry. A lot of other volume sprays, mouses, or whatever, make my hair stiff or have an odd texture. This stuff, is so fantastic. It leaves my hair really silky and really light and fluffy. I definitely recomend it to anyone who has trouble getting their hair to stay voluminous!
Barry M! I think it might only be available in the UK but I love there loose powder eyeshadows. I do think they might have altered the pigment over the past 2 years. I have an old Denim eyeshadow and it's deadly, the smallest drop will turn your whole face blue and you have to wake up the next day with blue eyelids. But their newer eyeshadows aren't so bad for staining and removing but they are that little bit less intense, but too much of good thing is sometimes bad.

Tunisian army emerges strong from people's revolt
Tunis (AFP) Jan 20, 2011
Tunisia's army has emerged from the month of unrest that toppled Zine El Abidine Ben Ali with its reputation burnished and the population full of praise after it refused to open fire on protesters.
The army's reported resistance to Ben Ali's orders to fire on the protesters is also credited with prompting his decision to flee on Friday, ending 23 years of authoritarian rule with an escape to Saudi Arabia.
"The national army did not betray the people and the nation," said one of the many with new pride for the military, theatre critic Ahmed El Hadek El Orf.
"And it is the first time that I have used the word 'national' for the army," he said.
"Other than the fact that the army was reluctant to take part in the repression, it showed that it did not want to become mixed up in political games," unionist Chedli Laajimi said.
The transitional government named Monday said 78 people were killed in the weeks of protests that started mid-December, with security forces opening fire on demonstrators angry over unemployment, corruption and food prices.
The United Nations says it has a death toll of about 100.
Much of the killing is blamed on a hard core of security forces loyal to Ben Ali, who favoured the development of the police force, which numbers about 100,000, against the army, at about 35,000 men.
Former French military chief and ex-ambassador to Tunisia, Admiral Jacques Lanxade, goes as far as to say that it was the army's resistance to Ben Ali's orders that prompted him to give up after weeks of holding on.
"It is the army that abandoned Ben Ali when it refused -- unlike the regime's police -- to fire on the crowds," he said in France's Le Parisien daily.
"The head of the army, General Rachid Ammar, was fired for refusing to have the army shoot and it was probably he who advised Ben Ali to go, telling him, 'You are finished'," he said.
Lanxade described Tunisia's army as a "stabilising and moderating element".
"The army, which has always kept away from politics and was not involved in the running of the affairs of the country, is quite a republican army," he said.
Mohammed Lakdhar Allala, leader in the ex-communist Ettajdid party, agrees that the "army, in putting pressure on Ben Ali, played a positive role."
The force does not communicate with the media and could not be contacted to comment.
"If the army had not been there, the country would have plunged into chaos," said independent activist on the left, Salah Toumi.
Others spoke of a warm relationship between the protesters and military during the height of the tensions, when violent street riots erupted with cars and tyres set alight, buildings sacked, police opening fire with tear gas and ammunition.
"I saw fraternisation between the people and the army, which did not fire on them," said Abdel Wahab Maalouch, a lawmaker for the opposition Unionist Democratic Union.
A resident of the Ariana suburb in the north of the capital said: "Women prepared a big couscous for the soldiers who came to our area, and the youngsters offered them beer, but the soldiers said they were not allowed to drink on duty."
Behind his counter in a bar in the city, a barman who gave his name only as Moncef voiced his praise to the nods of customers.
"I did my compulsory service 30 years ago and I did not like it," said Moncef, his opinion not unusual in a country where the one year of compulsory military service is largely unpopular.
"I ate rotten lentils from a mess tin," he said. "But if they asked me to return today, I would not hesitate for one second."

Make quitting smoking your New Year's resolution for 2012, trumpets the homepage for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In the US, a quarter of teenagers smoke and almost 21 percent of adults do. Cigarette smoking accounts for 1 out of 5 deaths in the US every year and is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. More than 80 percent of adult smokers began smoking before 18 years of age.
Health advocates have long directed criticism at tobacco companies and their splashy advertising campaigns — remember Joe Camel? — attracting the attention of teenagers and children. The Atlantic reports that health advocates are urging the British government to ban all "eye-catching designs and branding" from cigarette cartons, in an effort to prevent young people from smoking. The calls for the campaign follow the release of a survey on December 29 by the British Heart Foundation according to which more than a quarter of young people rely solely on the packaging for their health information about cigarettes and smoking.
The survey, which collated responses from more than 2,700 16 to 25 year-old smokers and non-smokers, found that three quarters of those who responded thought selling cigarettes in packs with no colorful brands or logos, and larger health warnings, would make it easier for people to smoke less or quit. One in six, or 16 percent, said they would consider the pack design when deciding which cigarettes to buy, and 12 percent said they would choose a brand because it was considered 'cool.'
The results suggest that some percentage of young people start smoking because of perceptions, or rather misperceptions, about smoking.
By the end of this year, Australia is set to introduce legislation banning such appealing advertising from cigarette packaging; Europe, Canada and New Zealand are watching the proposed law closely while (not surprisingly) cigarette companies are none too happy. Three of the world's largest tobacco makers including Philip Morris are fighting the proposed legislation in Australia's High Court.
Will such "boring" ads work in the US? Will cigarette packaging make smoking seem less appealing?
I'm hopeful but also somewhat dubious; it seems likely that teens will simply shrug off packaging. In the effort to get people (though not necessarily teens) to stop smoking, some other studies cited by The Atlantic is of interest.
According to the study under Dr. Jonathan Winickoff, a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, about one out of four parents with small children are more likely to respond to interventions to stop smoking. This figure is only a bit better than the one in five parents who quit smoking "without any special help." But as parents are more likely to take young children to pediatricians' visit (for vaccinations and check-ups), pediatricians "can make use of the teachable moment of a child's vulnerability to tobacco smoke… [and] may provide added benefit to helping this group of smokers quit," notes Dr. Winickoff. Pediatricians can screen parents for smoking and point out how stopping has numerous health benefits for children, smoking being associated with a large range of health issues in children including pneumonia, asthma, developmental delay, school absenteeism, dental decay, sudden infant death and hearing loss.
Could understanding the effects of smoking on others, especially children, be a powerful deterrent to stop?

I have quit for 2yrs and 4 months and never want to go back. I think packaging and price won't really matter to the individual and then again maybe it will. Smoking ages you from the inside out.
I started smoking at the age of 13 I am a female btw... my mother did smoke but I started smoking mainly because of peer pressure... after I learned that having a cigarette would close my appetite to food so I thought that was great and so I continued... nowadays I turned to tobacco which i think its better since it has less toxins and if I don't feel like rolling I wont smoke and its also good money wise:P but I HAVE to smoke at least a cigarrete a day at home and if im at work or school i smoke more because I will get impatient and angry so its difficult to stop completely.. maybe when I have children I will who knows...
Great advice... Thanks...*Quitting Help*I went here for here for advice also and it helped me... http://wherecanifindelectroniccigarettes.us/
maybe it would help, but i doubt it. esp for established smokers

My father sent away for some 8x10 glossies of smoker's lung that the government was offering at the time and those pictures went a long way in helping me quit umpteen years ago. I was 25 at the time and the good news is that some people raeally do get to the point where not smoking is no longer an effort, and the craving does disappear. So keep trying to quit and you will make it.
Thanks for the article.
I don't think that people are care about what says some picture. I've never smoked and never will. Healthier and cheaper. But I don't like when goverment encrease the price because think it could be prevent people from smoking. It's nothing but supporting the black market.
I've never been a smoker, but I worked in a gas station and the people who bought cigarettes cared more for the price than what the package looked like.

When I was in the eighth grade at Porterdale School our principal, Mr. L.C. Gordon, summoned me from math class one day to inform me that my father had been involved in an automobile accident on his way home from work. (We called them "car wrecks" back in those days.) Mr. Gordon was going to drive me to Covington to the hospital to see him, so I would be assured that he was OK.I don't think school principals do that sort of thing anymore. See how much progress society has made! Mr. Gordon smoked cigars - and he smoked them down to the nub. When we walked into Daddy's room I knew he was fine when he took one look at Mr. Gordon and said, "Flash, I believe your chewing tobacco's on fire." I guess I come by my sense of humor honestly. We stayed in the room until the doctor made his rounds - and I know for a fact that school principals don't do that anymore - and when he did, the doctor told us that my father would be fine except for some ligament damage to his index finger which could be repaired with surgery. Daddy immediately wanted to know if he would be able to play the piano once he recovered. The doctor assured him that he would and my pop responded, "That's great! I've never been able to play the piano before." Like I said, I come by my sense of humor honestly, for better or worse. Well, I've never been able to play the piano, either, and I have always wanted to. We didn't have a piano when I was growing up, of course. The house I was raised in was barely as big as a piano. But my Aunt Snow had one, and when I went to stay with her, I would sit and bang on the keys for hours, counting off the notes and trying my best to pick out melodies from a beginner's song book my cousin Carolyn had. I got pretty good at "Camptown Races" and "Jesus Loves Me," but that was about the extent of my expertise. I never ceased to be impressed by those who could actually sit down at the keyboard and play, however. When I was in high school I had two close friends who played really well. One was Mack McKibben. Mack and I were on the high school baseball team together. He could play the piano a lot better than he could play left field. I could play neither. Mack still makes a living playing and selling pianos. Back in the day, however, there was a restaurant in the Newton Plaza shopping center called Gigi's. They had great spaghetti and even better pizza. They also had a piano and Mack used to play there on weekends. He knew that my favorite song in the whole world was "Dixie." This just happened to be about the time that the tune was becoming politically incorrect, but I still liked it, and whenever I walked into Gigi's, Mack would stop whatever he was doing and strike up a few notes. I will never forget the night he went into a rather spirited rendition of the song that lasted 10 or 12 minutes and incorporated elements of ragtime, swing and jazz and a few genres that are yet to be identified. He had the whole house on its collective feet, clapping and stomping and swaying to the music. After he finished, he grabbed the microphone and announced, "There won't be anymore pizza served tonight. The cooks all quit." I think he was joking. Becky Hutchins was another close friend who was a wonderfully talented pianist - talented enough to become the official pianist for state functions, in fact. I heard Becky play in a lot of public settings as well and she also indulged my obsession with "Dixie" whenever possible. I used to visit Becky at her home and listen to her practice and many times I thought how wonderful it must have been for her family to be able to hear her play at random times, sometimes for hours on end. Well, I told you all of that to tell you this. I never learned to play the piano, but I now have a daughter, Jenna, who does. She's not Becky - or Mack - but she is really, really good. She plays in the school's jazz band and at church every Sunday and almost every evening I have the pleasure of sitting in my recliner, when she doesn't even know I am around, and listening to her play. It's just as wonderful as I imagined it would be. She specializes in hymns and praise songs, but I am gradually succeeding in getting her to broaden her repertoire. In fact, if I could just find the sheet music to "Dixie" things would be just about dead-solid perfect. I don't think I have ever told her how much I appreciate her talent, but she usually reads this column, so maybe I have now.

The technology, which is intended to gradually replace traditional solid mass flywheels - particularly in diesel cars - is known to suffer from problems including excessive wear. This has led to many consumers becoming worried about the cost of replacement. In response, some manufacturers have now begun to focus on providing cheaper solid mass flywheels as motorists look to save money on repairs.
While traditional solid mass flywheels have been the norm for many years, dual mass flywheels are a relatively recent innovation and have become much more prominent in the market over the last 10 years. They are designed to deal with the increased power of modern engines more efficiently by allowing the crankshaft to move independently of the flywheel, thus providing a smoother experience for the motorist. They also provide protection to other drive train components by soaking up "torque spikes" that could otherwise damage the gearbox. Despite this, many consumers have found that dual mass flywheels wear out faster than solid mass flywheels, and replacement costs have been increasing in recent years.Some motorists have complained that a replacement dual mass flywheel can cost upwards of GBP1,000, as opposed to a solid mass flywheel that on average costs less than half this. Prices remain high as specialist equipment is required to fit dual mass flywheels and the technology and materials used to manufacture them mean that they retail at a higher value. As a result, some companies have begun to react to consumer demand by focusing on solid mass flywheel technology, even offering replacement parts for new vehicles that ordinarily come with a dual mass flywheel. However, while they are seen as a far more reliable option solid mass flywheels can place more pressure on the drive train, which could potentially cause damage to items such as the gearbox in the long term. That said, as consumers become more cost conscious, investing in this technology may prove to be a shrewd move as demand for lower priced replacement parts increases.Despite this, industry experts have predicted that in mature markets dual mass flywheels will become the norm within the next 10 years. These flywheels are more prominent among diesel vehicles due to their engine power, and as dieselization increases across Europe, they will become more common at both the original equipment manufacturer and aftermarket levels. However, manufacturers will have to work hard to adapt their technology to last longer and cost less if they want consumers to fully embrace this new technology if and when the time for replacement arrives; if not, many motorists will choose to revert to solid mass flywheels in order to save money.

Its history began on January 20, 1857, when John Brandon (1809–1886) arrived at Fort Brooke (now Tampa) from Mississippi with his first wife Martha (1813–1867) and six sons. At first he moved his family to what is now the Seffner area. Then in August 1858, John Brandon, purchased 40 acres (160,000 m) in the New Hope area (now Brandon). and 160 acres (0. 65 km) later on and then named his land Brandon. John and his second wife Victoria's house was located on what would become the corner of Knights and Victoria Street. Four years later, the New Hope Church was built on land donated by Brandon. Besides being the first church in the community, it also served as Brandon's first school. In 1890, the Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad came through the area, encouraging the people of New Hope to build a depot on Moon Avenue. Charles S. Noble, a Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad engineer, was asked to plat approximately forty acres of land north of present day State Road 60, South of Lake Meade, east of Kings Avenue, and...
