The Controller and Auditor General (CAG) has advised the government to set up mechanisms of reviewing speed limits with a view to ensuring safe driving and reduction of road accidents in the country.
"When road conditions change, there is need to alter the speed limit to match with the improvements or deteriorations," said CAG, Ludovick Utouh, in his "Performance Audit Report on the Management of Traffic Inspections and Speed Limits in Tanzania."
He explained that the method of altering the speed limit was important as it ensures that the roads are used in a safe manner.
CAG said the audit failed to get any evidence that the set speed limits in different roads have been altered to suit the changed conditions of the roads.
He said in certain areas, despite the fact that a number of accidents have occurred as a result of speeding, nothing has been done to ensure that speed limits are lowered and "in that sense reduce the extent of the problem as the traffic police would have been empowered to enforce the newly set speed limit."
The only effort which is commonly taken is to install speed humps and bumps which have proved to be ineffective in certain areas according to the report.
The Ministry of Works, which is responsible for addressing issues of road safety in the country, needs to put in place well defined and coordinated system for data base necessary for reviewing the present speed limits and even setting new ones.
The audit uncovered weak coordination among different stakeholders who are responsible for providing the necessary information for the revision of speed limits in Tanzania, said the CAG.
"The current data provided by the police force on speed enforcement are not really acceptable to the Ministry. The underlying problem is the reliability of available data which is the most important input for the setting and reviewing of speed limits," he added.
There was no visible effort taken by the ministry to address the problem and even communicate with the police force so that the information could be collected during the speed limit enforcement, he said, adding that collected data could be used to review speed limits and even become input for setting new ones.
For speed limits to be managed effectively, he said, it was important to ensure that road conditions are monitored.
"The ministry does not request for the data from the police and do not set the level of data quality necessary for them to use in their responsibility of reviewing speed limits periodically.
Similarly, the ministry does not maintain a data base for speeding problems in the country and no visible effort has been done to introduce a database," he said.

ST LOUIS (KSDK) - One man was killed and another injured in two violent incidents on Laclede's Landing, so some are asking if more police are needed in the entertainment district.
A deputy chief told reporters Sunday, there are plenty of cameras on the Landing and many of the bars hire their own officers.
On Saturday morning, a man was shot in his car. He is expected to survive.
Early Sunday morning, a 28-year-old man from Bond County, Illinois was stabbed in the neck outside a bar.
Police were asked if hot spot policing is needed here, which would include more officers.
The deputy chief said it's something they will look at, but at this time, he doesn't believe that's needed.
He said you have to look at the types of crimes that are happening.
Lumiere, which is located in the area, is spending $500,000 over the next five years for extra patrols.

Stepping up pressure on Syria further
In an emergency session on 27 May, the United Nations Security Council unanimously condemned Syrian security forces' acts of violence in the town of Houla. More than a hundred civilians, including many children, were killed in attacks carried out by Syrian Government units on the night of 25-26 May. On 1 June the Human Rights Council in Geneva requested an inquiry into the brutal events.

Foreign Minister Westerwelle welcomed the Security Council's clear condemnation and made plain that "the international community cannot go back to business as usual when the Syrian regime is committing such atrocious acts of violence against its own people". The German Government had pushed for the emergency session. In view of the bloodshed, Germany declared the Syrian ambassador in Berlin persona non grata on 29 May and expelled him from the country. This action was taken in coordination with other countries, including France, Italy, Spain, the UK, the US, Australia and Canada, all of which have likewise expelled Syrian diplomats.
The United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva has also addressed the bloodshed in Syria. On 1 June the Council approved by a large majority a resolution calling for an immediate end to violent acts by the Syrian regime, and demanding that those responsible for grave human rights violations be brought to justice. An independent Commission of Inquiry established by the Human Rights Council has been charged with investigating the events in Houla. Foreign Minister Westerwelle said, "By resolving to investigate the recent atrocities in Syria the Human Rights Council has sent the unmistakeable message that whoever commits crimes such as those in Houla will be held accountable to the international community."

In contact with the Syrian opposition and the Syrian National Council, the German Government and its partners are strongly pursuing a political solution in Syria. On 30 May Westerwelle demanded that the international community "cohesively and resolutely step up political and diplomatic pressure on the Assad regime further". He spoke of the particular duty of those "who still hesitate to stop backing the Assad regime". In a newspaper interview on 1 June, the Minister said Russia played a "key role". In Germany's view, according to Westerwelle, Russia should recognize "that we are not working against its strategic interests in seeking to end the violence in Syria".
At the same time, the Minister warned against speculation about the possibility of military intervention. "In this difficult situation," according to Westerwelle, "it's important not to make military intervention seem like a silver bullet of swift resolution." Political efforts, he said, needed to continue. The task at hand, the Minister added, was to prevent the fire spreading throughout the region.

Germany supports the UN observer mission UNSMIS, which is charged with monitoring adherence to Special Envoy Kofi Annan's six-point plan. Annan's plan envisages the initiation of a political dialogue, access for humanitarian organizations, the release of political prisoners, freedom of movement for journalists, and freedom of association and the right to demonstrate peacefully in Syria.
The German Government is prepared to take part in the observer mission. On 16 May, the Federal Cabinet decided that a total of up to ten unarmed military observers could be seconded to the mission, which is intended to support the UN's and Special Envoy Kofi Annan's efforts to resolve the crisis politically.
A staff officer is to be sent to Syria initially. Up to ten additional military observers can then be sent over the course of the mission. As the observers are to be unarmed, the Bundestag's approval is not required. However, Foreign Minister Westerwelle did inform all the parliamentary groups about the decision.
The German Government had already offered to provide material and logistical support for the mission. Specifically, Germany provided 400,000 US dollars to finance the air transportation from Italy to Syria of vehicles and equipment urgently needed for the observer mission.
The basis for the observer mission in Syria is a unanimous decision by the United Nations Security Council on 21 April. Up to 300 observers are to monitor adherence to the ceasefire in force since 12 April as well as the implementation of Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan's six-point plan. The mission is called UNSMIS. The unarmed military observers will be aided by civilian support personnel. The Security Council Resolution stipulates that the mission should be guaranteed "full freedom of movement" in the country.
EU sanctions
On 14 May the EU Foreign Ministers agreed a 15th round of sanctions against the Syrian Government. More people and companies have now been included in the ban on entering the EU, and their assets held in the EU have been frozen. The previous round of sanctions adopted on 23 April focused on what are known as dual-use goods: biological or chemical materials which could potentially be used to suppress the Syrian population. Sanctions were also imposed on the export of luxury goods to Syria.

Public Health Statement for Dichloropropenes
This article is a verbatim version of the original and is not available for edits or additions by EoE editors or authors. Companion articles on the same topic that are editable may exist within the EoE.

Draft for Public Comment
Public Health Statement for Dichloropropenes
This Public Health Statement is the summary chapter from the Toxicological profile for Dichloropropenes.It is one in a series of Public Health Statements about hazardous substances and their health effects. A shorter version, the ToxFAQs™, is also available. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737.
This public health statement tells you about dichloropropenes and the effects of exposure to it.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation. These sites are then placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) and are targeted for long-term federal clean-up activities. 1,2-, 1,3?, and 2,3?Dichloropropene have been found in at least 5, 112, and 3 of the 1,678 current or former NPL sites, respectively. 1,1- and 3,3?Dichloropropene were not identified in any of the 1,678 current or former NPL sites. Although the total number of NPL sites evaluated for this substance is not known, the possibility exists that the number of sites at which dichloropropenes are found may increase in the future as more sites are evaluated. This information is important because these sites may be sources of exposure and exposure to dichloropropenes may harm you.
When a substance is released either from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. Such a release does not always lead to exposure.
You can be exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking the substance, or by skin contact.
If you are exposed to dichloropropenes, many factors will determine whether you will be harmed. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), and how you come in contact with these substances. You must also consider any other chemicals you are exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health.
What are dichloropropenes?
Dichloropropene molecules are made of a chain of three carbon atoms with a double bond connecting the first two carbons. Two chlorine atoms are attached at varying positions on this carbon chain. Since there are five possible arrangements of chlorine atoms around this carbon chain, there are five different types (or isomers) of dichloropropene molecules. The names of these dichloropropenes are 1,1?dichloropropene; 1,2?dichloropropene; 1,3?dichloropropene; 2,3?dichloropropene; and 3,3?dichloropropene. The numbers at the beginning of these names specify the carbon atoms (first, second, or third) to which each chlorine atom is attached.
1,3?Dichloropropene is a colorless liquid with a sweet smell. It dissolves in water and evaporates easily. 1,3?Dichloropropene is used mainly in farming to kill tiny pests called nematodes that eat the roots of important crops.
Much less information is available for the other dichloropropenes (1,1-, 1,2-, 2,3-, and 3,3?dichloropropene). It appears that only 2,3?dichloropropene is produced and used in industry; it is used to make other chemicals. Uses for 1,1-, 1,2-, or 3,3?dichloropropene were not found. Based on available data, less than 10,000 pounds (4.5 metric tons) of 1,1-, 1,2-, 2,3-, and 3,3?dichloropropene were produced in 2002 compared to a production amount of between 1 and 10 million pounds (450–4,500 metric tons) of 1,3?dichloropropene during that year.
Because 1,3?dichloropropene is produced and used in much higher amounts than 1,1-, 1,2-, 2,3-, and 3,3?dichloropropene and because 1,3?dichloropropene is released to the environment as a pesticide, the available dichloropropene data are primarily for 1,3?dichloropropene. Therefore, the focus of this ATSDR profile is on the 1,3?dichloropropene isomer. Discussion of 1,1-, 1,2-, 2,3-, and 3,3?dichloropropene are only included where data are available for these substances or when conclusions can be drawn based on similarities in physical and chemical properties between these substances and 1,3?dichloropropene.
What happens to dichloropropenes when they enter the environment?
When 1,3?dichloropropene is used in farm fields, it is sprayed into the ground. Once in the soil, some of it is likely to be broken down into smaller chemicals by either water or living things. Some of it may be carried deeper into the ground and may reach underground water supplies. However, in high crop-producing states like California where it has been used often, very little 1,3?dichloropropene has actually been found in groundwater. 1,3?Dichloropropene may also be carried into groundwater and soil from landfills and hazardous waste sites.
Some of the 1,3?dichloropropene sprayed onto the ground will evaporate into the air. In the air, 1,3?dichloropropene will be broken down into smaller chemicals. Some of the 1,3?dichloropropene in air may be washed down onto the ground, lakes, or streams by rain. 1,3?Dichloropropene is also expected to be broken down in soil and water. Some of the 1,3?dichloropropene in soil or water will also go back into the air.
Information on what happens to 1,1-, 1,2-, 2,3-, and 3,3?dichloropropene when they enter the environment are not available. Based on their physical and chemical properties, these substances are expected to behave similarly to 1,3?dichloropropene. However, reactions with water are expected to be much slower for 1,1- and 1,2?dichloropropene than for 1,3-, 2,3-, and 3,3?dichloropropene.
How might I be exposed to dichloropropenes?
You can breathe 1,3?dichloropropene from the air. It can also get on your skin. The people most likely to breathe air containing 1,3?dichloropropene or to get it on their skin are workers who use it for farming or make it in factories.
Food grown in 1,3?dichloropropene treated fields has not been shown to contain 1,3?dichloropropene.
A possible explanation for this is that since 1,3?dichloropropene is applied several months before planting, it may be rapidly broken down or removed from the soil before the crop plants grow and are able to take this chemical up through their roots.
Very small amounts of 1,3?dichloropropene from sewage treatment facilities, electrical power stations, and industrial facilities that use water to cool high-temperature furnaces may go into streams, rivers, and lakes. Some may go into the air.
People who live near garbage dumps or places where chemicals are stored or buried, including hazardous waste sites, may breathe 1,3?dichloropropene if it escapes into the air or may drink well water contaminated with this chemical. They may also be exposed through skin contact with soil containing it. People living in these areas who bathe or shower in contaminated well water may be exposed to 1,3-dichloropropene through breathing or skin contact.
Based on available information, 1,3?dichloropropene is not commonly found in surface water, drinking water, soil, or foods. 1,3?Dichloropropene is also not commonly found in air; however, it has been found in the air in some cities and in some farming areas. The average levels of 1,3?dichloropropene measured in the air at these locations are between 0.088 and 0.33 parts per billion (ppb). 1,3?Dichloropropene has been found in water at many locations across the United States; however, the levels of this pesticide are too low to be measured at most of these locations (scientists cannot accurately determine how much is present). 1,3?Dichloropropene has not been found in many drinking water samples. The average levels of 1,3?dichloropropene are around 0.5 ppb in groundwater at locations where it is measurable.
Based on available information, 1,1-, 1,2-, 2,3-, and 3,3?dichloropropene are not commonly found in measurable quantities in air, surface water, drinking water, groundwater, soil, or food. 1,1?Dichloropropene has been found in water at many locations across the United States; however, the levels of this pesticide are too low to be measured at most of these locations. 1,1?Dichloropropene has not been found in many drinking water samples. The potential for human exposure to 1,1-, 1,2-, and 3,3?dichloropropene is expected to be low because they are not produced or used in high amounts. Higher amounts of 2,3?dichloropropene may be released from facilities where this substance is produced or used. Individuals who work or live near these facilities may be exposed to 2,3?dichloropropene; however, exposure of the general population to this chemical is not expected to be important.
How can dichloropropenes enter and leave my body?
Dichloropropene can enter the body through the lungs if you breathe air that contains it, through the stomach and intestine if you drink water that is contaminated with it, or through the skin if you touch it. Studies with animals exposed to 1,3? or 2,3?dichloropropene have shown that if you breathe air that has dichloropropene in it, most of the chemical will get into the bloodstream. With increasing exposure, there is a greater likelihood that it will enter your body and get into the bloodstream.
Dichloropropenes are not likely to build up in the body because the liver changes (metabolizes) the chemical to a harmless form that can leave the body fairly quickly. Studies with animals have shown that most 1,3? or 2,3?dichloropropene leaves the body within 2 days after exposure. Most dichloropropenes leave the body in urine, and smaller amounts leave in feces and the air you breathe out. If you take in very large amounts of 1,3? or 2,3?dichloropropene, this may overwhelm the ability of the liver to change all of the chemical to a harmless form. When this happens, some may be changed to a harmful form that may bind to tissues and damage them.
How can dichloropropenes affect my health?
Scientists use many tests to protect the public from harmful effects of toxic chemicals and to find ways for treating persons who have been harmed.
One way to learn whether a chemical will harm people is to determine how the body absorbs, uses, and releases the chemical. For some chemicals, animal testing may be necessary. Animal testing may also help identify health effects such as cancer or birth defects. Without laboratory animals, scientists would lose a basic method for getting information needed to make wise decisions that protect public health. Scientists have the responsibility to treat research animals with care and compassion. Scientists must comply with strict animal care guidelines because laws today protect the welfare of research animals.
Dichloropropenes are reactive chemicals, which means that they may cause irritation at the point of contact. Health effects seen in humans or animals generally occurred at exposure levels that are much higher than the background levels found in air or water. This means that health effects are not likely to be seen in the general population, but may be seen among people who are exposed to relatively high concentrations in their jobs or from being near fields during fumigation.
The main health effects seen in humans who breathed 1,3?dichloropropene are: nausea; vomiting; irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat; breathing difficulties; coughing; headache; and fatigue. Some people who breathed 1,3?dichloropropene could smell it when the amount reached 1 part 1,3?dichloropropene per million parts of air (ppm), but you may be able to smell it at even lower amounts. A few workers who had skin contact with pesticides containing 1,3?dichloropropene developed blisters and an allergic reaction on their skin. A man who accidentally drank some 1,3?dichloropropene died with severe damage to his stomach and surrounding organs. We do not know if 1,3?dichloropropene causes cancer in humans; however, three men who breathed in 1,3?dichloropropene during the cleanup of a tanker spill or during field spraying developed cancers of the blood cells. This small number of cases does not provide proof that 1,3?dichloropropene was the cause of cancer, especially since the liquids may have contained other chemicals besides 1,3?dichloropropene.
At levels more than a thousand times higher than background, dichloropropenes caused irritation at the point of contact in animals. Rats and mice had damage to the lining of the nose, and mice had damage to the lung after repeatedly breathing 5 ppm of 2,3?dichloropropene vapor several hours a day for less than 2 weeks. Rats and mice had damage to the lining of the nose, and mice had damage to the lining of the urinary bladder after breathing 60 ppm 1,3?dichloropropene for several months or 20 ppm for 2 years. Male mice (but not female mice or female or male rats) developed a benign (nonspreading) lung tumor after breathing 60 ppm 1,3?dichloropropene for 2 years. Rats that ate 1,3?dichloropropene in their feed at a daily dose of 15 mg per kg body weight for several months or longer had damage to the lining of the stomach and dogs had anemia. At a higher dose, rats, but not mice, developed a benign (nonspreading) liver tumor. Direct contact with liquid dichloropropenes caused irritation to eyes and skin in animals and a skin allergic reaction in guinea pigs. Animals tested at high levels, like those seen in accidental exposures in humans, also developed serious injury to the lungs from breathing the chemical vapor or to the stomach from oral exposure. At these unusually high levels, liver and kidney damage was seen, and death occurred because of breathing difficulty and internal bleeding.
The Department of Health and Human Services has determined that 1,3?dichloropropene may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that 1,3?dichloropropene is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The EPA has classified 1,3?dichloropropene as a probable human carcinogen.
How can dichloropropenes affect children?
This section discusses potential health effects in humans from exposures during the period from conception to maturity at 18 years of age.
Like adults, children can be exposed to dichloropropenes by breathing air or drinking water that contains the chemicals, but the amounts are usually very low. The most likely exposure occurs near agricultural fields where 1,3?dichloropropene is used to treat the soil before planting. Children are not more likely than adults in the general population to be exposed to dichloropropenes in air, but since they drink more water than adults relative to their body weight, they may have higher exposures from well water.
The effects of dichloropropenes have not been studied in children, but they would likely experience the same health effects seen in adults exposed to the chemical. We do not know whether children differ from adults in their susceptibility to health effects from exposure to dichloropropenes.
We do not know whether dichloropropenes can cause birth defects in humans. Although 1,3?dichloropropene did not cause birth defects in animals, pregnant rats that breathed it gave birth to fewer rat pups or pups with lower body weight. These effects only happened at exposures high enough to be toxic to the mother and reduce her feed intake.
The way that dichloropropenes enter and leave a child's body is likely to be the same as for adults. The liver process that makes the chemicals less harmful in adults is the same in children by their first year of age.
How can families reduce the risk of exposure to dichloropropenes?
If your doctor finds that you have been exposed to substantial amounts of dichloropropene, ask whether your children might also have been exposed. Your doctor might need to ask your state health department to investigate.
Families can reduce their exposure to dichloropropene by staying away from treated fields during pesticide application. Workers who handle dichloropropene should wash their hands before entering their homes and keep contaminated clothing isolated before it is washed. Children should be encouraged to wash their hands after playing near treated soil and discouraged from putting their hands in their mouths.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I have been exposed to dichloropropenes?
It is possible to measure 1,3? or 2,3?dichloropropene or their breakdown products in blood and urine. In humans, the blood levels of breakdown products from 1,3?dichloropropene could be used to predict how much 1,3?dichloropropene has been breathed. However, tests for 1,3? or 2,3?dichloropropene in the blood and urine would only be useful for recent exposures, because dichloropropenes leave the body within 1–2 days.
What recommendations has the federal government made to protect human health?
The federal government develops regulations and recommendations to protect public health. Regulations can be enforced by law. The EPA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are some federal agencies that develop regulations for toxic substances. Recommendations provide valuable guidelines to protect public health, but cannot be enforced by law. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are two federal organizations that develop recommendations for toxic substances.
Regulations and recommendations can be expressed as "not-to-exceed" levels, that is, levels of a toxic substance in air, water, soil, or food that do not exceed a critical value that is usually based on levels that affect animals; they are then adjusted to levels that will help protect humans. Sometimes these not-to-exceed levels differ among federal organizations because they used different exposure times (an 8-hour workday or a 24-hour day), different animal studies, or other factors.
Recommendations and regulations are also updated periodically as more information becomes available. For the most current information, check with the federal agency or organization that provides it. Some regulations and recommendations for dichloropropenes include the following:
EPA has set 100 pounds per year as the limit of 1,3? or 2,3?dichloropropene that can be released into the environment at any particular site; releases of more than that must be reported. EPA sets limits on the amount of chemicals allowed in drinking water, but has not established an enforceable standard (maximum contaminant level) for 1,3?dichloropropene. As a guideline, EPA established a health advisory level for 1,3?dichloropropene of 0.03 mg per liter of water that should not be exceeded in order to protect children's health.
OSHA has not set a limit for allowable worker exposure to 1,3?dichloropropene in air, but NIOSH sets guidelines (recommended exposure limits or RELs) for chemicals in workplace air. The REL for 1,3?dichloropropene is 1 part per million (4.54 mg per cubic meter) averaged over a 10-hour workday.

A few months back I bought a pair of pink skunk clowns. the plan was for them to host my red BTA. I put them in and I was pretty disappionted in them as the colours were very mute and they were aggressive little things and they didn't go near the anemone. I decided I would switch my daughters little FW tank over to salty stuff and put the clowns in there. So that's what I did today, got her tank ready for marines. I walked in to see my main tank and low and behold my clown was playing about in the rBTA!! Couldn't believe it. They look great in the anemone so I guess they are in my reef to stay now.
I put a pair of tomato clowns in my tank to host in a BTA, never went near it for months. Then i found the small clown in my xenia
Eventually the other took to the BTA then a couple weeks after the male followed, took a very long time though, but worth the wait

The big question is what you going to add to her tank now,,the way she took to the salt water in Villamendhoo in September me and Linda think she has earnt her own tank.
Linda said when we were over there that she coldnt get over how at ease the little one was in the sea
Keep us posted m8
Posted 21 March 2012 - 09:01 PM
Think I will make her tank a little marine sytem but for local stuff so that we can go rockpooling together and get stuff that she can bring home. Think we will both enjoy that.... and it will be cheap to run. I'll use water from my reef so as to avoid algae problens and do 100% water change a week to keep it running nice. Rock pool life will adapt to that no worries.

A Navy doctor who let his children handle the brain of a service member and his wife photograph the organ has been fined and faces disciplinary action.
The Virginian-Pilot reported Friday that Dr. Mark E. Shelly was transporting the brain from a naval hospital in Camp Lejeune, N.C., to Portsmouth Naval Medical Center in December.
En route, he took the organ to his home to Virginia Beach and allowed his family to handle and photograph it, according to records with the Virginia Board of Medicine.
The board reprimanded Shelly last month and fined the osteopathic doctor $2,500.
A spokeswoman for Portsmouth Naval Medical Center said in an email that Shelly is awaiting final disposition of his case.
Shelly has acknowledged he used "extremely poor judgment."

WUSA 9 Sports anchor Dave Owens writes a column each week on a sports related topic.
It's fascinating really. Each year football fans and media members around the country sit with bated breath, poised in anticipation of March. Our anxiousness resembles that of former New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott who when asked about an upcoming game, once told a reporter, "Can't wait!" Like Scott, we can't wait either! In fact, when it comes to NFL free agency, we're like kids at Christmas Eve-nerves racking, can't sleep, we can't wait to see what's going to be under the tree. When that day in March finally does come a-calling' and NFL teams can sign free agents. Weeeeee!
More often than not it's an overblown story in my book and the amount of coverage it receives is often excessive. I get it: football is king by far in the world of United States sports coverage. Of the top 50 watched sporting events in 2012, football accounted for 34 of them. The London Olympics made up the other 15. Quick math that equals 49 right? Good eye or brain. The only non-NFL, non-London Olympics event to make the list was the Alabama vs. LSU BCS National Championship game. By the way, Washington's season finale against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football came in at 18th.
Timing has a lot to do with it. The first week or so in March is somewhat of a dead zone -- March Madness isn't quite full bore, the NBA is still 3,000 games away from the playoffs (I'm joking of course), MLB is still playing fake games and hockey is well, hockey. But only in this football crazed society during a relatively slow sports period, is the signing (make that re-signing) of wide receiver Brian Hartline back to the mediocre Dolphins newsworthy. Since when did he become a big deal or any kind of a deal?
But wait there's more: Matt Cassel goes to Minnesota. Translation: quarterback falls into a great situation in New England, parlays it into a big contract with Kansas City who soon realizes he was really a backup the whole time and cuts him. Now he's in Minnesota to compete with Christian Ponder or as I like to call it, bad quarterback will compete with bad quarterback.
Atlanta releases Michael Turner and signs Steven Jackson. Translated: running back that's lost tread on the tires gets released in exchange for running back that's lost tread on the tires. No one will ever dispute the talent or toughness of S-Jax, but his dominating days are done. Go back and watch the tape, he rushed for 100 yards twice last year in 16 games. Twice! He also only scored four touchdowns.
But NFL free agency isn't a time for analysis of this type, just like Christmas isn't time to discuss whether you really need that third television, or that dog. It's Christmas baby and that's all that matters!
It's that perceived connection to players, coupled with the massive power of the league itself, coupled with great marketing, coupled with timing that brings this whole overblown story together. That's a lot of coupling!

Jennifer Lawrence not only has an Oscar, she has a best friend in Louisville. Ky., where she grew up – and even Lawrence's own mother says this smiling neighborhood kid is a star. His name is Andy Strunk.
"Most popular guy in Kentucky," Lawrence, 22, tells Louisville TV station Wave 3. The two go back to having attended middle school together.
"He has the kindest heart of anybody I've ever met," says the Best Actress winner. "He's always in a good mood. And he's one of the funniest people I've ever been around."
Says his mother, Pollyanna Strunk: "He's her No. 1 fan"– and he's got every photo, every interview, every TV listing of Lawrence. She also sends him posters and mementos he adds to his collection.
Says Jennifer's mother, Karen Lawrence, who spoke to the TV camera with her arm around Andy, "I just know Jen's love for Andy is genuine."

WASHINGTON – Searching for songs you loved, but don't have on your playlist is one of the joys of the Internet, especially music streaming services, including Spotify and Rdio.
Long before the ability to do a Google search or cull songs from YouTube, music fans who heard their favorite tunes on the radio faced an expensive proposition — buy dozens of singles, albums or CDs — if they wanted to own the Top 40 hits they loved.
Enter K-tel Records.
By the early 1970s, K-tel TV ads promised "20 Original Hits! 20 Original Stars!" on a single album, sparing music-craving teenagers from having to fork-over hundreds of dollars.
"Oh, yeah, I remember the K-tel collection," reminisces radio personality Albie Dee, who has spun the hits on stations including WPGC and dozens of others throughout the country.
"It was back when music was on the AM dial," recalls Dee, who bought the K-tel albums as a teenager growing up in Connecticut.
Jeff "Goldy" Goldberg, whose disc jockey credits include Oldies 100 in Washington, D.C. bought K-tel albums as a kid, listening to Top 40 stations including WABC Musicradio 77 and WNBC in New York.
"Where, other than K-tel, could you find an album that went from KC and the Sunshine Band, to Alice Cooper, to War, to Frankie Valli, all on the same disc," says Goldberg.
"Back then, Top 40 stations played all those different genres," says Goldberg.
"Now, with radio stations being so specialized, you'd never hear R&B, rock, pop, country and soul on just one radio station.
K-tel albums secured the rights to release the hits by negotiating with the artist's label, and jammed almost two dozen songs on a single 12-inch album.
"On the K-tel records it wasn't exactly what you heard on the radio. A four minute song was now edited down to three minutes, so they could put more songs on one side of an album," says Dee.
In 1972 and 1973, when vinyl or eight-track tapes were the only option, a 45 rpm single cost 99 cents at a music or department store. K-tel "22 Explosive Hits" albums cost $3.99. It's far cheaper than buying each single individually.
Spotify and Rdio are paid services that allow a user to select a specific song. Other streaming services, including Pandora and iHeartRadio don't allow for selecting a song on demand.

This team seems to be coming together and even head coach Rick Neuheisel boldly stated that his group of student-athletes has the potential to be pretty good. During this talk Neuheisel is asked and answers questions on all the position experiments are going, plus how the revolver offense is doing.Neuheisel: "For the most part, I was very pleased with today. We had some extra film time to watch that scrimmage in detail. Make the corrections; we got some early correction work done. We had a little lull on special teams. We need to make sure that never happens again so I had to add some minutes to that deal, but they finished the practice really well. We got a lot of work done and a lot of good teaching tape. Especially given this is our last practice without pads so I'm excited about where we are and anxious to get the pads back on and get after in again tomorrow."For the rest of the story, please log onto BruinBlitz.com... ...More...

We're learning more about the school bus accident that closed Marksheffel near Fontaine. That road is back open at this hour.
A car lost control in front of the bus. That's what reportedly caused the accident.
There were six junior high school students on the bus at the time. One was treated for a minor injury.
All 6 students attend Janitell Junior High and are now in class.
Many parents have expressed concern that there was no delay called for the district.
KKTV 11 News talked with Widefield School District 3 spokesperson James Drew about the process of the calling a delay or closure because of the weather.
"We have to make a call by 5:30am. That's when the buses get rolling. The roads weren't bad then. But things got worse," said Drew.
The driver of the vehicle that lost control was not hurt. No word if there will be any charges against the driver.
Marksheffel is back open and running normally again.

Death panels. As if it weren't odious enough the first time around, now we have to go through it again. Obama wants death panels.
My colleagues love this one. It's just so sexy. Brings up such strong emotion. Nobody wants the government telling grandma she has to die.
Except, of course, that isn't gonna happen.
The new health care law — the one the Republicans and Blue Dogs gutted to the point that it will be largely ineffective and easy to declare failed when it comes time to blame Obama for everything again — was supposed to have reimbursed doctors for having end-of-life counseling with patients, should they actually have the talks because it was completely voluntary. That means they talk about things like living wills and powers of attorney, hospice care — all those things that we really oughta talk about before it's too late and that crazy nephew who believes the soul can't pass on to the next world until the body has had all its blood drained and replaced by dishwashing detergent is making all the decisions for us.
But it got twisted into "death panels" by Sarah Palin, et al, who declared that the administration intended to have faceless bureaucrats decide who lives and who dies and when and how, which is exactly what insurance companies do now.
Interesting, isn't it, that the Republicans managed to convince a bunch of clearly unknowledgeable Americans that the health care bill was going to do precisely what is already being done by insurance companies instead of what it would actually do, which is to help the elderly make sure that their wishes for the end of their lives are followed. Totally amazing.
Some new regulations involving Medicare recipients, however, have gotten the whole thing rolling again.
I take that back. My clearly bored colleagues are doing their dead-level best to gin up that can of worms again.
See, nobody noticed when the new regulations went up a month ago. The new regs said that the annual wellness reviews Medicare recipients get could include end-of-life counseling. It's still voluntary.
Then the New York Times, just a week ago, ran a story about it, pretending it was all brand new and unheard of and that the administration was trying an end-around to get its "death panels" in place by regulation instead of law.
Except there already was a regulation on the books allowing end-of-life counseling as part of the "Welcome to Medicare" new Medicare patients get. That regulation was enacted in 2008. Under GW Bush.
But not to worry. Once the New York Times does something, all the cablers have to do it to death, no pun intended. And so they have, bringing on the traditional one guest in favor and one opposed to talk about what they invariably labeled "death panels" — often without the quotes. DEATH PANELS RESURRECTED, blared CNN, while Faux News trumpeted the RETURN OF DEATH PANELS and 'DEATH PANEL' DECEPTION (that last one, at least, with quotes).
Never mind that PolitiFact named Palin's "death panels" the "Lie of the Year" for 2009.
It remains to be seen just how rabid the TeaPublicans will be over it this time around. They should be foaming at the mouth, just like they were in 2009. But since their masters apparently missed it, they're a little behind. But I've no doubt that my beloved colleagues will push the issue until they get the anger and outrage at absolutely nothing they so desperately want.
See, end-of-life counseling is something you can do just about anytime. Have you done a will? Then you've had some form of end-of-life counseling. It's just preparation. And here I thought that was a good idea, being prepared.
But then, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised at what my friends in the media do with this kind of thing. They fucked it all up in 2009. Why would they get it right now?
Besides, they're too busy pushing the "everybody hates the individual mandate" meme right now. And while they're doing it, they're missing a few very important pieces of information about why that is important.
- The purpose of the mandate is to prevent people from waiting until they are diagnosed with cancer or are hit by a bus before they buy insurance since the insurance companies are now barred from refusing to insure folks because of pre-existing conditions.
- Of course, it doesn't really do that because those who don't buy the insurance are slapped with an almost insignificant fine and can still buy insurance the day that bus mows them down, thanks, again, thanks to the Republicans and Blue Dogs who are most adept at watering down things that could do some good if only they were left alone.
- The mandate significantly cuts the number of uninsured people.
- If the insurance would cost more than 8 percent of someone's income, they're exempt.
And all of this would make much more sense if Republicans and Blue Dogs hadn't nixed the public option, which, despite Republican lies to the contrary, is not government funded health care or a government takeover of health care. It's paid for just the same way insurance is paid for now — by the insureds, who would pay a lower amount because the government isn't in business to rack up billions for executives or stockholders, which, of course, is why the public option wasn't allowed to live.
Ah, but why have a reasonable, truthful discussion about anything when it's so much more fun to use fear-mongering hyperbole and outright lies? It's a wonder I can even hold a steady job in this industry.

Post subject: no missing dependencies
i typed ldd mscore in terminal and got a long list of dependencies,
but no missing file messages.
EDIT : i was wrong, there was one file missing...
i downloaded libjack0 from ubuntu repo. but mscore still isn't finding libjack.so.0
can someone tell me where it resides on your system?
maybe it is just a path issue.

Post subject: mscore on slacko
Hi alphamale,
...as your insisting getting it running on slacko, here you are:
The following extra files need being installed for getting Musescore-1.0-lucid525.pet or .sfs running on slacko:
- celt-0.7.1-i486-1dj.txz here
- jack-1.9.6-i486-2tm.txz here
- libsamplerate-0.1.7-q1.pet here
this tested on a fresh slacko 184.108.40.206
Musescore here running out off the box with menu entry + sound !!
ps: this might also work on wary.
Hope this helps
Have fun !

All right! I've been using NtEd 1.0.18, but I've been finding some dismaying bugs and the author hasn't responded to my e-mails. Now I discover that MuseScore has active user forums and apparently better features than NtEd. I'd like to give it a try, but I'd like to try version 1.1 (the latest) if possible. Um, do you think anyone here might be putting together a MuseScore 1.1 .pet or .sfs soon?

So if I get it??? This is a puppy version of MuseScore
or rather the puppy version of Mscore? How is that one
different from MuseScore original?
So if one take notes from a site and put into this
program than it play the music? That would be awesome.
I would love to hear how this guy's sounded but only find
the notes as scores?
But maybe them are too different in notation? So them will
not play? hehe the download is very slow of the .sfs
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Post subject: John-Erik Mattssons midi files
Dear nooby,
You don't need a heavyweight program meant for composers scoring symphonies to listen to John-Erik Mattssons' music. I downloaded all the midi files and archived them (attached). You just need a midi player that uses soundfonts if you want to hear the pieces with any kind of reasonable sound. Timidity and Fluidsynth play midi files and make use of soundfonts. Enjoy:)
With kind regards,
PS. My version of musescore (1.0) has an import plugin that permits the import of ABC files, and a slew of other formats, including musicxml.

Hi nooby,
i think you have already everything to hear these files.
You can use LazY Puppy 528 (it has Nted 1.10.18 build in).
Load the Audio-Midi.sfs.
Run Jack Audioconnection in menu>multimedia and then click start (if it will ot start use alsa audio wizard, works without rebooting).
start bristol gui in sfs applications menu and choose tab Jack.
choose sub-tab synthesizer O-S and run rhodes.(best to start mostly, there is an option in nted to transpose (-12, +12) the sound, which sometimes gives better results, couldn't find it yet).
start nted.
menu>file>import midi
go to connect at jack and connect the audio out left/right of bristol & brighton with playbacks alsa_pcm. 1 & 2 (tag audio)
connect midi output of nted with bristol and brighton. (tag midi)
change midi channel in nted to channel 1 (rightclick in nted, free space beteween scores in every instrument., tab midi)
click play button in nted - you should now hear music.
you can stop nted and changing the synthesizers to hear other sounds without doing the rest of the procedure again (no again connecting with jack audio and midi). do only use the jack synthesizers.
works nice and sometimes it is funny.
Edit, just overseen, because it is so much and everything works out of the box:
the audio & midi sfs has also musescore
Edit: while playing the music in nted you can play with the parametric faders of the synthesizers, so try something and, please, have fun.

vovchik and RSH thanks indeed for all the efforts.
Would it work in LMMS too?
I do have Lazy puppy but I don't feel sure of
that I can follow even a detailed description.
But I would feel un-polite if I did not give it a try
and I sure at very motivated to listen to John-Erik Mattsson.
Okay they can not sound like him playing but it can indicate
what the melody is.
So thanks much appreciated and sorry if I derailed the thread.
So back on topic please

Yes, you can run lmms and import midi files, but i haven't tested how to get sound. Do not know if you must run jack to use lmms. whenever i played with lmms i have had loaded the demos and audio was alsa - not jack.
just play a little with LazY Puppy - it gives you lot's of possibilities to use your computer in a creative way.
- and do you know what?
You got one!

Still no word on MuseScore 1.1 for Puppy, but I've been using the MuseScore 1.0 SFS to compose and transcribe music, and it's great, far superior to Nted in my opinion. I may have to find out myself how to produce the 1.1 package (unless a newer version comes out first), but I've been too busy using 1.0 to get around to that.

It's working!
Thanks a lot--that's a whole lot faster than getting around to producing a MuseScore 1.1 package myself!
It's stupid to use inferior software for ideological reasons.

|This is the article on the threads used by puppeteers. If you are looking for the article on the Fūma clan suicidal technique, head to Chakra Threads.
Chakra Threads is a technique that is usually used by puppeteers to allow them to control their puppets in battle. Since these strings are constructs made from very concentrated chakra, they can be seen by people besides the user. Interestingly, as well as pulling objects towards them with the strings, the user can also "push" objects away from them as well, and even get moving objects like buzzsaws.[2] Chakra can also be transferred via the strings, such as to activate some abilities in puppets.[3] The chakra strings can also be attached to other objects, allowing the user to control, or at the very least disrupt other things. In one instance, Kankurō uses chakra strings to trip Naruto Uzumaki when they first met.[4] In another, Chiyo uses chakra strings to control a person like a puppet. A skilled user can suppress the chakra to the point that the strings become invisible, as Chiyo did with the Manipulating Attack Blades to sneak a string to bind Hiruko's iron tail.[5] Kankurō has shown the ability to attach his chakra strings to those of another user's.[6] This technique is limited to one main string per finger for normal humans, but Sasori's modified core was able to emit enough strings to control over one hundred puppets.

The history of cinema is a rich and varied one that can be enjoyed and understood by engaging in works that dot the historical timeline and cross geographic borders. If you're a film buff who loves discovering classic films and pioneering directors like I am, you'll certainly want to keep an eye on our collection of historically significant foreign language films. Many of the greatest films to reach the big screen came about in European, Asian and Latin American countries, where filmmaking represents a fundamental piece of their cultural identities. Below, you'll find a brief list of foreign language films made from the mid 1950's through today that are transformative works of art that are crucial touchstones in the development of world cinema. Many of these rule-breaking films are now available from the Criterion Collection.
