Former Swedish diplomat, Mr Jan Eliasson (72) was a few weeks ago appointed by the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon as UN Deputy Secretary General.
The Swede replaces Tanzania's former Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Dr Asha-Rose Migiro, the first woman in history to serve in the post.
The appointment of Mr Eliasson now brings to an end rumours and counter-rumours that had surrounded Dr Migiro's continued stay in New York.
According to whispers which were buttressed by the Inner City Press in New York, Dr Migiro is reported to have furiously tried to lobby for a second term but failed.
Whispers have it that Dr Migiro's appointment for the post was Ban-Kin Moon's way of thanking Tanzanians for successfully campaigning for his election for the UN Secretary General's post.
One of Tanzania's diplomats who had served as campaign managers for the former South Korean foreign minister was former Ambassador to the United Nations, Dr Augustine Mahiga.
Whispers have it that after his sterling campaigning role that took him to each and every capital city in the continent, Dr Mahiga was rewarded with a post as UN Secretary General's Special Representative in the Somali Conflict.
Meanwhile the Swede's appointment has raised a lot of dust in New York over the South Korean's commitment to his UN reforms.
A section of observers consider Ban Ki-moon's appointment of a 72-year-old for such a high profile post as lacking seriousness in his avowed UN reforms. However, whispers have it that the secretary general appointed the veteran Swedish diplomat to the post on account of his past track record at the United Nations. Mr Eliasson who was a consultant of many UN agencies is associated with many UN successes in the past 30 years.
Therefore the South Korean decision to ignore Dr Migiro's suggested lobbying and appointing the Swedish peer speaks volumes of the sort of diplomatic style he wishes over the next four years at the UN.
According to whispers which have been making rounds in Dar es Salaam for the last three years, Dr Migiro is counted among those in President Jakaya Kikwete's projects for the 2015 presidential election.
However, given the manner in which Ms Anne Makinda was gate-crashed into the Speaker's post, hence replacing the most popular Speaker in the past few decades, Mr Samuel Sitta, it is difficult to ignore the veracity of such whispers!
President Kikwete has, at different times, been quoted by the media as saying he wanted his replacement in 2015 to be younger than him at the time he took the top office.
How such pronouncements are related to his main duty of taking Tanzania out of its present economic problems, that is anybody's conjencture.
However, such pronouncements have made the man from Msoga the first president in history to go public on the age range of a person he would like to succeed him. No wonder his former personal assistant at the State House, Mr January Makamba and his friend from Chadema opposition party, Zitto Kabwe, now want the Constitution to be silent on appropriate age when it comes to conditions for the Union presidency.
But one thing is certain; the fight for the 2015 Union presidency is going to be extremely tough, what with the likes of Edward Lowassa and company joining the fray!
If you asked me for an opinion, I don't like the whole idea of a lot of energy being spent on the fight for the 2015 presidential candidate nomination run. I would rather such energy was spent in solving the country's challenging development problems.
It is very unfortunate to witness a section of Tanzanians being madly obsessed with the presidency.
What is even more unfortunate is that ministers who have failed to deliver in their own ministries are now busy collecting money, covertly or overtly, in preparation for 'funding' their 2015 nomination run. Whispers have it that for one to get to the Union presidency, you need not less than 15bn/-!
The worthy question is where does one get such a huge amount of money.
The question of every Tom, Dick and Harry running for the Union presidency reminds some of us of what Uganda's President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni said at the State House in Dar es Salaam during a press conference he addressed immediately he had come to power in Uganda.
Referring to former Ugandan Presidents Dr Milton Obote and General Tito Okello, President Museveni said the two men should not have been allowed at the helm of Uganda's leadership as they were only fit to take care of chickens within their own households.
And this is what Tanzanians will sooner than later get into if they don't stop now this madness for the 2015 presidential race!
And on a more serious note, whispers have it that a section of members of the country's armed forces in the southern part of the country have for a long time been involved in logging of trees, transporting them to Mozambique where they are stamped, as if they had been logged in that country and later exported as imports from Mozambique!
The same thing is said to be done by their Mozambican counterparts.
What is logged in Mozambique is transported to Tanzania for stamping before it is re-transported to Mozambique for exports as Tanzanian products!
Whispers have it that these goings-on are well known to Tanzania's authorities, and especially so, institutions that are entrusted with the protection of the country's flora and fauna!
However, nothing is more disheartening than what has been going on in the Loliondo part that has more or less been ceded to an alleged son of the King who rules the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
It would be recalled that this was the only area endowed with abundant water resources which the Maasai used for their livestock.
But since the area was ceded by the second phase government of President Ali Hassan Mwinyi to his Gulf friends, the Maasai have no other place, within the vicinity, where they can get water for their livestock! And whoever gets into the area with a mobile phone, his/her phone will immediately register etisalat which is a satellite that serves the UAE mobile phone companies!
What does the foregoing mean? Could it mean that the area is no longer part of Tanzania?
But the million dollar question is who is benefiting from this Loliondo project?
I only wish the Founding Father of Tanzania, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere was around!
Remember what he once said at the Diamond Jubilee Hall after his retirement when he spoke to Dar es Salaam elders on the dangers of corruption?
He told Tanzanian leaders that if they were not careful, they could sooner than later end up selling their own mothers!
For the doubting Thomases, let them go and refer to the records! But the question is: have we allowed ourselves to stoop so low in the name of creating conditions conducive to investment?
And by the way, what about the country's eyes that take the form of Tanzania Intelligence and Security Services (TISS)?
Are they also not aware of all these, much as they say that they are only allowed to advise and not to force the powers that be to act?
In fact, rumours have it that the media exposure of the scandal involving transportation of live animals from the country's national parks in September 2010 was just the tip of the iceberg!
The point is that such things have been going on in the country for a very long time!
Is it therefore surprising that the Norwegians have decided to withdraw their funding in the country's two projects, intended to help build people's capacity as protectors of the environment and development?
How can they continue to put their taxpayers' hard earned financial resources in a country where both the government and its citizens are least interested in protecting their own flora and fauna?
The Loliondo area under the UAE is rumoured to have a big airfield which can handle C 130 Hercules transport planes.
The question is what products do these Arabs export to their country from Loliondo to require such gigantic infrastructure?
The foregoing development, apart from whispers, is about the existence of airfields in other mining areas in the country where the so called investors have been ferreting out of the country all types of minerals as if such resources have no owners!
May the Almighty God bless our nation.

Loved the video! She is so right about how long it takes to find out that what a person does is not vain and to recognize themselves as artist. Using the body as a canvas is living art, I truly admire folks that are creative in their own style and can show it to the world, what a blessing.

Some women fade as they age, others blossom. This lady has it taped. As I have aged, I have not changed my style one iota. Still wear big hats and very high heels -- in all colours. Just turned 65 and bought four more hats, including a cowboy variety for The Calgary Stampede. Never let them see the whites of your eyes!

This'll 'do for now
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- More than six years after entering West Virginia University, Michael Paris got his advertising degree this month. And for as long as he can, he doesn't plan to use it.
Not while he's traveling the globe for TNA wrestling, which signed him in June 2011 as alter ego Zema Ion, a hair-obsessed Filipino supermodel.
"Right now I'm having the time of my life living my dream as a professional wrestler," said Paris, 26. "Anything I can do to avoid using my advertising degree, I'm going to make the most of those opportunities."
While he spent much of his college career traveling to small-scale wrestling gigs, Paris now flies every week to a soundstage at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., to tape segments that are televised on Spike TV.
Zema Ion's storyline is simple.
"Every two seconds he's spraying his hair, making sure it's still in place," Paris explains. "And, of course, this leads to my opponent constantly trying to messing it up, and Zema Ion then just going crazy and becoming aggressive because his opponent is messing up his hair."
It's a passion that bit Paris at an early age while growing up in the northern West Virginia community of Chester.
His father, a horse trainer, would spend months at a time on the road and return with wrestling figurines as presents for his children. Paris and his father often spent Saturday mornings watching wrestling on television. His father died when Paris was 5.
"It's one of my only memories of him," Paris said. "As my mom told it, I just wanted to be like my dad."
As a ninth-grader, Paris received a wrestling videotape in the mail the day he was supposed to go after a spot on the Oak Glen High School basketball team. He never made it to the tryouts.
His father's best friend, Richard Lavell, became the son's mentor, paying for Paris to attend the Elizabeth, Pa.-based International Wrestling Cartel academy when he was 16, driving him an hour-and-a-half every week, then traveling to pro matches across Pennsylvania and Ohio.
"Without Richard, none of this would be possible," Paris said. "He was the one responsible for my whole career."
Lavell downplayed his own role.
"I'm sure he'd have figured out a way," Lavell said. "He was always crazy about it."
IWC trainer Joe McMunn said Paris was one of the youngest students the academy ever had. Yet something made Paris stand out.
"He was more mature than some of the guys who were two, three, four years older than him," McMunn said. "He had good discipline to begin with. We were able to really build on that with him."
While attending college, Paris struggled to make ends meet as he traveled to wrestling performances. His brother, Steve, who had already graduated from WVU, paid for Michael Paris' rent for a year to enable him to continue wrestling.
"My brother is definitely another unsung hero in the story of Michael Paris," he said.
In 2010, Paris was invited to an open casting call for industry giant World Wrestling Entertainment. He was among 60 wrestlers selected to try out from among thousands of applicants. He didn't make WWE's final cut and was told he wasn't quite ready.
Paris started to second-guess himself. At 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, he thought, perhaps he was too small for the big time. Meanwhile, the friends who attended advertising school with him graduated in May 2011, while he was still a few credits short.
"That's when I was like, man, there ain't nothing going right," Paris said. "I failed at wrestling. I still haven't graduated college. Is there ever going to be a light at the end of the tunnel?"
Less than a month later, there was.
He got a phone call from a TNA representative asking him to come to a tryout. Nashville, Tenn.-based TNA's top wrestling talent includes veteran wrestler and actor Hulk Hogan.
Paris still doesn't know how the organization got his phone number. He was told a TNA talent representative saw a video of him on YouTube.
He survived his tryout, which was broadcast live on Spike TV, and hasn't slowed down since.
In addition to his weekly trips to Orlando, this year Paris has wrestled in India and Mexico City, along with trips to Canada and places like Chicago and Phoenix.
But there was still that issue of college. When TNA signed him, Paris had been at WVU five years. Despite the travel challenges, he got it done, taking one class each semester over his final two years in order to graduate.
When his body won't let him wrestle anymore, Paris not only can turn to his advertising degree, he can try spinning records. He's been training since June to become a disc jockey, a dream that morphed from an interest in music before he realized he had no talent singing or playing guitar.
"I'm not unrealistic about it," he said. "I could break my leg tomorrow wrestling. That would be the end of my career. Without a college career to fall back on, I don't know what I'd be doing with my life."
When it comes to importance, mentor and family friend Lavell said there's no comparing the pecking order of a diploma to a wrestling career.
"Graduation. Most definitely," he said.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Three commissioners could have possibly violated the city's ethics code. Commissioners Wayne Guilfoyle, Joe Jackson and Grady Smith have admitted their wrongdoing.
"So I did and billed it. I didn't think about and that's where it was. What do you want me to do?" Jackson said.
"Look how many people we feed. We buy strictly local, local equipment and other local stuff," Smith said.
"The bidding process started before I came on board," Guilfoyle said.
"If we got thieves and thugs around here or people that are dishonest, what are they sitting up here for?" Smith asked.
Perhaps voters want Smith to answer his own question. His company, Smith Brother Contractors, has done multiple city projects.
So has Jackson.
"I agree, you got me there. No big deal. Somebody asked me to do work through the Sheriff's Office, and I did it," Jackson said.
"I told my estimator to not do any business with any city affiliations," Guilfoyle said.
News 12 asked Jackson if he planned to give the money back.
"No, it's already been spent and that's been since 2008," Jackson said.
News 12 has uncovered pages and pages of documents that show the work Commissioners Jackson, Guilfoyle and Smith have done.
Actually, Smith's business received city checks the first month he was in office.
"In the meantime, we are going to have to address those issues and individuals clearly out of compliance," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.

"I think as a general matter the mood in the room was a lot better this year. I don't think anyone gets everything done, but I hope very much that this new Congress will get a chance between elections to actually work together to do some big things."
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.
"He carried on his theme in the campaign, let's grow the economy from the middle-class out. ... I think there is a thaw underway, here we saw it with the fiscal cliff deal ... I'm optimistic we see that thaw continue and that we can pass common sense measures."
Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo.

Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs
"I think he presented abold agenda, items that are really important like universal preschool, improving high schools that prepare young people for the workforce and immigration reform. I think there's a real opportunity to work on bipartisan legislation to work on many of these issues."
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder" I liked when he talked about comprehensive immigration reform, and of course I liked the passages on gun-violence prevention."
Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Jefferson County"Strengthening the spirit of America doesn't mean more bureaucracy. It means economic health and growth through small business, not big government."
Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Gardner"I strongly applaud his efforts to bring our troops home. I worry that his plan to spur the economy and to create more jobs will result in more spending and bigger deficits."
Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora"I share President Obama's repeated call tonight to set aside partisan politics and work for the good of all Americans; and I believe it can be done."
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo.

Hello you brand new player. You may or may not have read the tutorial. This isn't going to cover anything in the tutorial. This is going to cover some basic stuff you need to know to save your time in Alteil and help you start off strong. You are a newb. Don't feel bad we all were newbs at some point in time. This guide is to make your transition from newb to newb lite faster.
Table of Contents
How range works
Getting New Cards
Deck building
Character backlash (new)
Chapter 1: How you smack my guy on the back row with your front row guy? hax!
I'm putting this up as because this is the hardest thing that people don't get when they start off in this game. Range doesn't work like other games. Just because I have a field full of range 1 units doesn't mean I can't hit your guy in the back row. First off range tells you how many cards you can hit in front of that unit. If your range is zero you can't hit anyone unless you have a skill that hits random units. So let me give you an example...
Ok my 3 units have a range of 1. There are 2 rows in front of them. There are no units in front of your unit. Even though you're on the back row because your field is clear I can come and curb stomp your unit. This makes having melee tanks worthwhile unlike some other games.
Now lets look at another example
This time you got some foot soliders for your cause. My lords of curb stomp can't hit your squishy cannon of uberness. Due to the fact that my 3 units have a range of 1. If one my units had a range of 2 for example there is a chance I could hit your back row unit. Now lets look at one more example...
Ok this time you have 3 lords of stomp and I have 3 walls of can't die. Your 3 cards have a range of 1. Your card on the back row with a range of 1 can't hit my units at all. Remember your cards with a range of one are not going to be able to attack on row 2 and 3.
Chapter 2 Darklogos PIMP MY DECK!
How do I get uber cardz to stomp the level 50 guy? Hold up there buddy let's start simple. First option you have is Mirage Master. This lets you earn gran aka in-game money for free. I recommend playing at 10 gran difficulty. You can get cash from MM once a day. Next way to get gran is to buy gran with real money. Spend what you can. Spending doesn't make you an Alteil Legend. It does give you more options. Next option for getting cards is point cards. Go to the shop under the EX tab you will find an option to trade in your Fight money for point cards. Yes its a lot of fight money for 1 card but its worth it in the long run. When you get enough point cards pm or email lupos to cash out your point cards. Your next option of getting new cards are treasure battles. Treasure battles happen when you are on a winning streak. They also happen when your opponent is on a winning streak. Keep that in mind. So you can play a person that is hot and have a chance of a treasure battle. You have to win to get the card. The last option to get more cards are forum contest. Look at the front page and take part in the contest. Worst case scenario you get a point card.
Chapter 3. BLAH BLAH BLAH
Chat is a resource to talk and get advice from better duelest. It is a place to gain friends. It is not a place to spam, bring up questions that can easily be found, and mindless profanity. Act out in chat you can get warned or even banned. Chat logs can be reported to the GM's. With all that said Chat is how I became a better duelest. Many times ideas drop in chat about the new super decks are or how to make counter decks. Its a good place to find a test partner for your new deck. Don't be Jack N Ape.
If there are any other really basic newb questions that a come up a lot in the future I'll add on to this.
Chapter 4. I summon EXODIA AND BLUE EYES ULITMATE BROKE DRAGON. **** the rules I have money!
Deck construction is not as hard as people make it out to be. First you need to click that little menu button in the bottom left corner and select file. You will see many slots for you to construct a deck. Click on an open box and select edit. Now your first thing that you place in are your units that you want to use. Look at the number you have of those cards. If you are depending on that unit then it is best to have 3 copies of that card in your deck. If you a situational card or a buffer card then its okay to have 2 copies of that card. The only time I say its best to have 1 copy of a card are for cards like Zugasa that can't die easily or Noireden whose close skill cost 1 lp to raise her. The other exception are sacrafice cards like spore.
Next thing to look at is what is the main tactic of the deck. Many times people don't have a goal and just play cards at random. Some valid goals are as follows...
Playing lots of Rank up units with panter soul or soul skill boost.
Return as many of your enemies cards as you can
Super high defense to buy time to build up your field
These are most of the basic tactics people start with. Some more advanced tactics involve team buffs and soul skill and unit combos. We will look at that in a moment. If you look through your selected cards and you see your main tactic not working out well then start removing cards and put in ones that work or think of a new tactic.
Soul skills are your life, defense, offense, and disruption. How you use soul skills determines if you win or loose. But if your soul skills don't help you main tactic it needs to be replaced. Soul skills are only as good as your tactic. Lets look at some examples...
Bazagar soul skill on Regen Knight or Noirweeden.
Drayd Soilder for Rank up decks or Allind decks.
Row damage soul skill for Rush decks
Magic doll melee soul for Lycan decks
This is just a starting point but as you become a better duelest you will see how string your soul skills to determine the flow of battle.
CHAPTER 5 I'm you from another universe...really.
Character backlash happens when either...
A. Both players play that same character unit at the same time.
B. A person has that character on their field (alive or closed) when another player plays that same unit.
The reason for this is to cause people to diversify their deck. I'm not arguing for that position but it is the reason for the mechanic. One way to avoid this is to figure out how your deck is going to be different then the typical Allind is god decks or the Orfen and Renally Friendfest that most people play. You have choices. Either A. try to play a generic card that does something similar or B. rush to get that card out before the other guy. A case for option A. is Witch and Aqua Sorc/Mystere. Both card return units. Witch can only return level 1's and 2's. Mystere can return any unit that is really fast or really slow. Mystere is very popular in wizard kingdom decks. If you can't play Mystere out fast or it is a really popular card that gets backlashed a lot you may want to think of some options with Witch. The option is using witch as an opener or mid game card to help you get rid of support units. Or you could use EX Primrose to make any target returnable. Now an example of option B. is Orfen. This a unit that doesn't have a counter part close to it other then Folrart Captain. This unit is key to Endless Morning. You take this unit away from Endless Morning their damage output goes down. So yes this is a unit to rush to get out.

Oh my goodness, this was absolutely delicious. I made it for my husband and 11 year old, they both thought it was great, and definitely a keeper. I used spinach instead of chard. The toasting of the gnocchi before cooking really adds an extra little bit of yumminess. Not sure why this is rated so low, but ignore the low rating and make this dish. You won't be disappointed.
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
418 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
This has become one of my favorite meals. It is easy, made with locally obtainable ingredients and everyone loves it.
I found this recipe when looking for something different to serve our vegetarian son-in-law. It was so quick to make & only required one pan, so clean-up was a breeze. I did use spinach instead of chard. I also used diced tomatoes in sauce & added my own fresh Italian herbs which gave it additional flavor & body. The whole family enjoyed it.
I LOVE this recipe. I stumbled upon it randomly through Google after searching "healthy recipes". I wanted to make it again and couldn't find it too easily. I was heartbroken. But luckily I stumbled back on it again, and bookmarked it this time. It's very yummy and you won't feel like crud after eating this filling meal, either. :D
Mowing my girlish gink - a crucial example of direct charge scornful depending on the time spent on it. His whisker is piddling, like a issue, and on better is getting less and less.

When rappers become dads, it's hopefully a time of celebration. But when a rap star has a daughter, it can get complicated. They might think twice about the music they put out or become overly protective of even resistant to daughters who seek to follow in their father's musical footsteps. And there are those painful moments when they realize that for all their money and fame, there's not much a hip-hop dad they can do when a daughter grows up and wants to do her own thing. Here's a look at some hip-hop daughters who've found the spotlight for better and for worse.
Daughter: Willow, 11
Smith seems to have the most successful of the hip-hop daughters as of yet. At just 11-years-old, Willow already has a hit single, a record deal and the lead in the remake of "Annie." But her growing celebrity has come with a backlash towards her and her parents for encouraging her to grow up too fast. Her eclectic outfits and hair have been roundly criticized in the blogosphere but it must not be getting Willow down as she keeps racking up new projects.
Daughter: Destiny, born in 1994
Nas' daughter Destiny, unlike her mother, Carmen Bryan, who was the source of the much publicized beef between Nas and Jay-Z years back, has stayed pretty much out of the spotlight. She was enjoying the life of a privileged daughter of hip-hop until her Twitter postings thrust her into a spotlight she probably didn't want. After screen shots of her tweeting a box of condoms on her nightstand went viral, her Twitter was deleted and her father was moved to write about it. The resulting song "Daughters," is Nas' lament about how he was more of a homie than a daddy when his daughter needed it, something a lot of young dads can relate to. While mother Bryan objected, Destiny must not have been too upset, as she makes a cameo in the video for the song.
Daughters: Angela, 24 and Vanessa, 29
Rev. Run can say he's done pretty well by his kids. He brought them celebrity and opportunity through their MTV reality show "Run's House" which Angela, Diggy and Vanessa took full advantage of. Diggy signed a record deal and became a staple on teen tours and Angela and Vanessa did both a spinoff reality show and a line of sneakers. While Vanessa has dropped out of the spotlight recently, Angela is a regular on gossip blogs and seems to be doing the Solange "look cute on the blogs and keep up my social media until I come up with a new project" thing.

Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery
Surgery Overview
Aortic valve replacement is a surgery done for aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation. The surgery is either an open-heart surgery or a minimally invasive surgery. In an aortic valve replacement surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve.
View a slideshow on aortic valve replacement surgery.
How is it done?
During open-heart valve surgery, the doctor makes a large incision in the chest. Blood is circulated outside of the body through a machine to add oxygen to it (cardiopulmonary bypass or heart-lung machine). The heart may be cooled to slow or stop the heartbeat so that the heart is protected from damage while surgery is done to replace the valve with an artificial valve.
The artificial valve might be mechanical (made of man-made substances). Others are made out of animal tissue, often from a pig.
More information
What To Expect After Surgery
You will recover in the hospital until you are healthy enough to go home. Depending on your overall health, you will likely go home a few days after surgery.
Surgery will likely involve a long recovery over several weeks. You will probably need to take 4 to 12 weeks off from work. It depends on the type of work you do and how you feel. In some cases, full recovery may take several months.
More information
Why It Is Done
Aortic Valve Regurgitation
If your chronic regurgitation is getting worse and you have symptoms, you will likely have surgery. You might have surgery before you get symptoms, especially if your regurgitation is getting worse. If you have acute regurgitation, surgery will likely be done right away.
For help with this decision, see Aortic Valve Regurgitation: Deciding About Surgery.
Aortic Valve Stenosis
If you have symptoms of aortic valve stenosis, your doctor will likely suggest surgery to replace the valve. Most people who do not have symptoms do not need the valve replaced.
For help with this decision, see:
How Well It Works
Aortic Valve Regurgitation
Valve replacement surgery is the only cure for aortic valve regurgitation. It helps relieve symptoms and prevent heart failure. And it helps people live longer.1
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Valve replacement surgery is the only effective treatment for people who have severe aortic valve stenosis with symptoms.1 If you don't have surgery after you start having symptoms, you may die suddenly or develop heart failure. Surgery can help you have a more normal life span.
Valve replacement surgery has a high rate of success and a low risk of causing other problems if you are otherwise healthy. Although most people have successful outcomes, there is a risk of death and serious problems during surgery. Valve replacement surgery is high-risk for people who have a failing left ventricle and who have had a heart attack. About 5 or less out of 100 people who have valve surgery die.2
If you have an aortic valve regurgitation or stenosis and have symptoms, the risks of not replacing the valve are greater than the risks of surgery unless you have other health problems that make surgery too dangerous.
Even if valve replacement surgery is a success, you may have problems after surgery, such as:
- An increased risk of blood clots. These can break off and cause a stroke or heart attack. You will need to take blood-thinning medicines (anticoagulants) right after surgery to help prevent blood clots. If you get a mechanical valve instead of a tissue valve, you will need to take blood-thinners for as long as you have that valve.
- A need for another replacement valve. This will depend on the type of valve you get and how long you live after you have the surgery.
- Incomplete relief from symptoms. Some types of valves do not have openings as wide as a normal valve for a person your size. This can limit how well the valve works to relieve your symptoms.
- A valve that fails. There is a small chance that the valve will not work. Your doctor will need to check from time to time to make sure that your valve is working.
What To Think About
If you decide to have surgery, you and your doctor will decide which type of valve is right for you.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a new way to replace an aortic valve. It does not require open-heart surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses catheters in blood vessels to replace the aortic valve with a specially designed artificial valve. The catheters are inserted through small cuts in the groin.
This procedure is available in a small number of hospitals. And it is not right for everyone. It might be done for a person who cannot have surgery or for a person who has a high risk of serious problems from surgery. For example, it might be an option if you are not healthy enough for an open-heart surgery. Although this procedure is minimally invasive, it has serious risks including stroke, kidney problems, and death.3

Afterward, your guided tour of the capital continues, with photo stops at Capitol Hill and the White House, and visits to the Lincoln and Vietnam Memorials. Afterward, cross the Mason-Dixon Line into Pennsylvania for a visit of the hallowed GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD, site of the decisive Civil War campaign and where Abraham Lincoln delivered his immortal Gettysburg Address in November 1863. Tonight we offer an optional outing to a local restaurant to enjoy the flavor of the area.
Head for HARPERS FERRY, where in 1859 John Brown made his ill-fated raid on the U.S. Arsenal. En route to Shenandoah, stop at LURAY CAVERNS for a guided tour, then up to the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains for magnificent vistas of the Shenandoah Valley. (Continental Breakfast)
Through lumber and limestone country into wonderfully wild West Virginia. After a lunch break in Lewisburg, a Civil War battlefield, travel to Fayetteville and stop at New River Gorge Bridge, the world's third-longest steel-span bridge, rising 876 feet above the river. Then, on to Beckley, the heart of West Virginia's "smokeless" coal industry, for an overnight stay.
Before entering Kentucky we stop in the state capital of Charleston, West Virginia, the one-time home of Daniel Boone. As you cross the state border, the scenery changes to green pastures, white-board fences, and the columned estates of Kentucky bluegrass country—backdrop for the movie Seabiscuit. Arrive in Lexington, the "Heart of the Bluegrass." This afternoon, enjoy a fascinating visit to the KENTUCKY HORSE PARK, from where legends like Man o' War and Secretariat conquered the racing world. The visit includes the International Museum of the Horse; the Hall of Champions, where famous horses from the past enjoy their retirement; the Parade of Breeds; and many other exhibits and demonstrations.

Travel on Bluegrass Parkway and stop at SINKING SPRING FARM, where Abraham Lincoln was born. A replica of the original log cabin is preserved as a shrine to the best-loved of American presidents. Visit a true working WHISKEY DISTILLERY, and learn about the production of the very finest Kentucky Straight Bourbon, for which Kentucky is famous. Overnight in Bardstown, Kentucky's second-oldest city and "Bourbon Capital of the World." Evening is at leisure.

Drive right through the center of the Smokies along the spectacular Newfound Gap Road, peaking at 5,046 feet. Into North Carolina and a stop at the 7,500-acre grounds of BILTMORE ESTATE, built by George Vanderbilt, grandson of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. Then, on to dramatic CHIMNEY ROCK. Take an elevator carved through solid rock up to the granite monolith for views over Hickory Nut Gorge. Overnight in the Asheville area, hometown of American author Thomas Wolfe.
Blue Ridge Parkway runs from the Great Smokies to Shenandoah National Park without a single traffic light along its 470-mile route. Take in a portion of the parkway today, from Fancy Gap to Roanoke. Stop at the tranquil setting of Mabry Mill, one of the most photographed spots in the country. Next up: a visit to Natural Bridge, a 215-foot-high arch in a wooded setting, once owned by Thomas Jefferson. George Washington's initials are still visible on the cliffside, from his work here as a young surveyor. (Continental Breakfast)
The day begins with a guided tour of the Stonewall Jackson House that lets you experience the pre-war life of Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and introduces you to the man who became a legend. Visit Lee Chapel & Museum, preserved as Robert E. Lee left it for the last time on September 28, 1870.

Mewtwo (anime)
this wiki
| Mewtwo
(ミュウツー Mewtwo)
|Legendary Pokémon
|First Appearance:
|The Battle of the Badge
"Foolish human, you would take my attack to save your feeble Pokémon!" -Mewtwo in the film Mewtwo Strikes Back
Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, created by Professor Fuji. After Fuji's death, Giovanni found Mewtwo and convinced him to join Team Rocket.
In movies and anime
As shown at the beginning of Mewtwo Strikes Back, Mewtwo has been created by a group of scientists. He destroys the laboratory, and is offered by Giovanni to be "partners". With some sort of armour on, Mewtwo is used in The Battle of the Badge against Gary in a gym battle. Gary describes him as an "evil" Pokémon to Ash, who doesn't get the chance to see it. Mewtwo escapes from Giovanni after finding out that they aren't partners, in It's Mr. Mime Time!
Then Mewtwo goes on an island named . He kidnaps the Nurse Joy of the nearest Pokémon Center, and gets her to send invitation discs to some strong Trainers. The Trainers go through a storm that Mewtwo caused as a test.
In Mewtwo Returns, the clones have found a lovely place to live, on top of Johto's largest mountain. They could live there in peace, but Giovanni finds them. In the end he departs the other cloned Pokémon so they can live peacefully as wild Pokémon.
He will appear again in ExtremeSpeed Genesect and the Reawakening of Mewtwo as a changed Pokémon after travelling the world.
Mewtwo's uniqueness largely stems from his psychic abilities, however, his personality is one of the defining points in the pokemon series. Mewtwo's personality is initially complex involving existentialist anxiety, and contemplation of the meaning of existence. His temperment is very introverted, consisting of hate and anger towards humans and his creators.
Having been brought into existence through artificial means, Mewtwo quickly turned on his creators when he learned that they intended to experiment on him further. Feeling betrayed by the very humans that had created him, he decided to forge his own path. The recurring theme in the movies is Mewtwo harbors jealousy towards Mew because he is a copy or derivitive whereas Mew is the original.
In the first movie, the path that Mewtwo has taken makes him into a rather immoral character. He frequently exhibits cruelty and at several intervals goes so far as to attempt to, or forthrightly, kill those who oppose him. This makes Mewtwo easily one of the most malicious characters in the series and the main antagonist in Pokemon The First Movie, prior to his change of heart at the end of the first movie.
However, in Mewtwo Returns, he is much more kind. Mewtwo only wants to protect the other clones that he created, and even protected humans that were on a bus that got thrown around by strong winds. Therefore Mewtwo is a hero in his second movie, and a victim. When Giovanni comes on the mountain, Mewtwo is willing to sacrifice himself to save the other clones as well as Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth. Also, he constantly wants to avoid fighting, exact opposite to the way he was in the first movie.
So, it can be said that Mewtwo, upon Ash's sacrifice in Mewtwo Strikes Back, has become a hero instead of a villain. He continues to live in Johto and, as said by himself, "In shadows."
Voice Actors
- Masachika Ichimura (Japanese)
- Phillip Bartlett (English; Mewtwo Strikes Back)
- Dan Green (English; Mewtwo Returns)
- When Mewtwo Strikes Back was first shown in the movie theatre, Mewtwo's dialogue would only come from the front of the screening room when he was talking to himself without letting anyone hear him; but when he would psychically project his thoughts so that the human characters would hear what he was saying, his voice would come out from the surround sound speakers at the side of the room.

I felt the chapter was pretty good. People have high expectations. :ice:
Honestly, a chapter alone SHOULD NOT be rated without considering previous or forthcoming chapters.
Its probably better to have a rating system for a collection of chapters instead of just one chapter because it seems people ask too much from one chapter.
If a chapter has too much action, people will react:
If a chapter has too much talking, people will react:Too much action, not enough story 1/5
Or Kishi may introduce an 1) idea before the 2) explanation. He may introduce some sort of interesting yet shocking idea as a setup chapter and people will demand explanation right away on that same chapter:Too much talking, not enough action 1/5
Then he'll probably give the explanation as an explanation chapter several chapters after and people will still probably react:How did he know that jutsu? Plothole! 1/5
Summary:Too much talking and explaining, not enough interesting ideas being introduced 1/5
- People demand too much from one chapter
- People should review a chapter while considering previous and forthcoming chapters
Enjoy the chapter! Your not even paying for this shit, you spoiled brat! (Just kidding:D... partly).

Approximately 150 B.C.
Abinadi was a Nephite prophet. Abinadi had joined a small group of Nephites who attempted to regain control of the city of Nephi from the Lamanites. After he publicly called the king and his priests (all apostate Nephites) to repentance, he was banished, went into exile, and returned two years later to again preach against the wicked King Noah and his priests. After a memorable trial in the king's court, the king was afraid of Abinadi's righteous power and was willing to release him. His priests, however, would not allow it, and they succeeded in having Abinadi burned alive.
Preparation and Calling
Nothing is known about Abinadi's calling as a prophet or his preparation for such.
Interaction with God
Abinadi was a powerful witness of Jesus Christ, whose birth was yet a century and a half in the future. He knew the sacred writings well, including those of Isaiah, and was obviously a recipient of the gift of prophecy. During the trial for his life, at one point "his face shown with exceeding luster, evan as Moses' did while in the mount of Sinai." While he was clearly familiar with the workings of the Spirit, we have little information about his direct interaction with God the Father.
Social Situation
Abinadi was in a tough spot. The Lord commanded him to cry repentance and witness against the evil doings of the king and his powerful but utterly corrupt priests. At one point, he had to sneak back into the city in disguise to fulfill his calling from the Lord. One wonders whether his purpose was not so much a mission of potential conversion but rather of providing a witness against King Noah and his priests so they could be held fully accountable at the day of judgment.
Key Teachings
Abinadi is remembered for prophecies in two particular areas: (1) his powerful witness of the coming Christ and His death and resurrection, and (2) the destruction that would come to the people because of their wickedness.
Living with the Prophet
Abinadi was faithful to his calling from God even though he knew that his life was in jeopardy. But his love for God was stronger than any fear that might have been aroused by these wicked government leaders. Have you ever been in a position where you were ridiculed or challenged because of your beliefs by someone in a position of authority?

(Sports Network) - Veteran right-hander Bartolo Colon takes the ball in a
tight playoff chase on Sunday afternoon when the Oakland Athletics finish a
four-game series with the visiting Houston Astros at the Coliseum.
The Athletics dropped the opener, but have won two straight to go from second
place to first in the American League West, where they now lead the Texas
Rangers by 1 1/2 games. The Rangers have dropped three in a row to fall out.
The Rangers, though, have the edge over Tampa Bay in the race for the first of
two available AL wild card positions.
Colon, who's made 401 starts in a big league career that stretches back to
1997, is 6-3 in 10 lifetime meetings with Houston, but dropped a 5-4 decision
at home when he last faced them on Aug. 13.
He was pulled after just four innings in that game and allowed five runs and
seven hits, which raised his career earned run average against the Astros to
3.53 and pushed his 2013 ERA from 2.75 to 2.97.
Colon had improved to 14-3 on the season with a July 26 defeat of the Los
Angeles Angels of Anaheim, but has since gone 0-3 in five starts.
He took a tough luck defeat in his most recent outing on Sept. 3 against
Texas, allowing one earned run in five innings of a 5-1 loss.
Oakland is 4-6 in his last 10 starts.
Colon will be opposed by Astros rookie right-hander Paul Clemens, who was nine
when Colon first pitched in the majors with the Indians.
Now 25, the South Carolina native opened his inaugural season with 30 straight
trips from the bullpen while compiling a 4-4 record with a 6.36 ERA across 46
2/3 innings.
He's pitched to mixed results in two subsequent starts on Aug. 27 and Sept. 2,
allowing 11 hits and four earned runs in 9 2/3 innings of a pair of no-
decisions against the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota.
In two previous relief outings against the Athletics, Clemens pitched a
combined 7 2/3 innings while allowing just three hits and a run with two walks
and four strikeouts.
On Saturday, Dan Straily tossed seven scoreless innings and Jed Lowrie added a

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A lawyer for two alleged clients of a Maine woman accused of running a prostitution business out of her Zumba dance studio in Kennebunkport are trying to block the release of names of the men suspected as her clients.
Stephen Schwartz told The Associated Press he filed the motion in court Thursday, a day before police were expected to possibly release the first batch of names.
Schwartz said the release of the names has a great potential to ruin people's reputations, families and businesses and to prejudice any potential jury.
"All it does is appeal the most prurient interests of the public," he told the AP.
