How to Plan a Creative Writing Piece
Have you ever been stuck in wanting to structure out your creative writing story? Have the right ideas surfaced but are you unsure of just how to express them? This article will assist you in presenting story ideas in a concise manner whilst allowing for time-management.
1Getting the plot line straight - This is where you need to know exactly what you are writing about. Has the teacher asked you to write a piece on Bullying? Fantasy? Crime? Once you know the topic. Get a separate piece of paper and write down all the words that are associated with the topic. This is very helpful because conventions (rules) are being identified. Would you create a happy setting in a horror piece? Very unlikely. Instead by getting the key words straight you are identifying stereotyped patterns in thinking. That way when it comes to your teacher marking the story, it is clear you have stuck to the topic and all the settings, characters etc are following a train of thought.
2Making a complex storyline - By making things complex you can make the story a lot more interesting. There are two ways to make a story complex. The first ONE is to have two storylines going on, and that way the storylines can meet in your writing. For example, if there is a victim in your story describe the feelings of anger, loneliness etc. and at the same time a criminal might be chasing after this victim for a particular reason such as having a revenge motive. The SECOND way is the hold deeper meaning into your creative writing piece, this is what you expect the audience to understand. The deeper meaning would lie within the characters, such as a greedy character reflecting modern day materialism. These meanings need to be constant in the plot line. Because an effective creative writing piece, is trying to prove a certain viewpoint to an audience (the marker).
3Getting organised - The best storylines are the ones that have a beginning, middle and an end. By writing in an abstract and uneven style, there is bound to be confusion. Feel free to allow the characters to jump straight away into the action, but at the same time make sure everything has made sense so far in the story.
4The details must be correct - When a lot of people write a creative story it seems the "bigger picture" is clear but as you continue to read on certain things don't add up. This is as a result of sentences being used ineffectively. Every single sentence must somehow contribute to the message, motives, characters, settings etc. Don't go on yacking about someone's lovely green eyes. Instead why don't you talk about how they reflect the characters personality. Don't just physically describe the setting but make it come alive such as writing "the luscious trees danced in the warm autumn breeze" (In a simple sentence you just mentioned the trees, season and feel of the place). Some methods to make the text come alive are Personification, Similes and Metaphors.
Community Q&A
Answered QuestionsAdd New Question
Ask a Question
- If you are unsure in the description of a scene. Think of sight, sound, feel, taste and smell. Go through which sense will describe the environment appropriately and use a VARIETY of the senses.
- Always listen to your own inner voice. Those around you would be quick to influence your thinking. The best stories are where the author freely described their emotions with the story. Never abolish an idea if it sounds a bit lame, instead build upon it like STEP TWO suggests. If all else fails just really think of what interests you in specific relation to the topic.
- It is better to write things simply if you are unsure of how to write it in a sophisticated manner. Always come back to simple and babyish sentences. Play around with the words until it sounds a lot more clever.
- In step number 2, there is a clear difference between complex and COMPLICATED. By complex, there is more than just one element to a story. Complicated stories are a result of there being TOO many ideas linked and it leads to inconsistent plotlines. Juggle between which suggestion suits you. It's the "message" or "drama" of the story that adds to its complexity.

Is it still news when Medtronic wins a preemption motion for one of its PMA devices? We think so, so we'll tell our readers about Stengel v. Medtronic, Inc., No. CV 10-318-TUC-RCC, slip op. (N.D. Ariz. Nov. 9, 2010).
The product was a Class III pain pump that received initial PMA in 1988 and was modified through a couple of PMA supplements about a decade later.
It's pretty clear that the plaintiff's attorney did not know what s/he was getting into when bringing the suit. The complaint simply alleged run-of-the-mill state-law torts for "strict liability, negligence, and breaches of express and implied warranties." Slip op. at 4. None of them even purported to impose the "same" duty on the defendant, so all were preempted as a matter of course. Id. That's like shooting fish in a barrell.
The Riegel decision is more than two years old at this point. Somebody out there seriously needs some CLE.
So the plaintiff in Stengel proposes to amend the complaint - but "alleges the same four causes of action." Slip op. at 4. Only now, the plaintiff throws in some boilerplate that "Defendant failed to warn/inform the FDA and medical physicians" about the relevant risk. Id. In short, the plaintiff tried to put forward some sort of parallel violation claim.
Didn't work because plaintiff didn't, or couldn't (it hardly matters) show that the purported claims were anything more than statutorily prohibited attempts to raise private claims that the defendant violated the FDCA. You can't do that. 21 U.S.C. § 337(a) "makes clear that the United States is the only party that has standing to bring such a claim." Slip op. at 4 (in case you haven't figured out, page 4 is the most important page of this opinion). The plaintiff failed to explain how these new purported claims were in fact creatures of state, rather than federal, law. Slip op. at 5 ("any state law claims not subject to express preemption must rest on conduct that is actionable even if the federal law did not exist"). That's the thing about "parallel" claims - there must in fact be two parallel legal tracks. In Stengel there wasn't.
Finally, the plaintiff tried to claim that the defendant's submission of a public record - the FDA's PMA - turned a motion to dismiss into a summary judgment motion under Rule 56(f), apparently in an attempt to get discovery. Discovery of what, we're not sure. The court held: (1) submission of a public record subject to judicial notice did not convert the motion, and (2) "additional discovery is futile because Plaintiff's claims are preempted and additional discovery will not remedy that." Slip op. at 5.
Congratulations to Mike Brown and Ginger Pigott of Reed Smith for winning Stengel and thanks to blog subscriber Lisa Baird for passing it along to us.

Sandrine Pechels de Saint Sardos explains the ins and outs of the KirchMedia collapse that has impacted not only Germany's media market but the rest of Europe and beyond.
Germany, which is one of the driving markets in the European Union, is currently fighting economic turmoil and high unemployment (9.7%). Most recently, Germanys issues were aggravated by long term problems resulting from the absorption of former East Germany into its economy and an overall stock market drop, characterized by the strong 2001 downturn of its heavily high-tech exchange, the Neuer Market.
In the entertainment industry, Germany has a highly competitive TV market where two strong public-TV networks, ARD and ZDF, battle groups of commercial networks owned by Bertelsmann and KirchMedia. But this past year, these economic woes, the bankruptcy of KirchMedia, management changes at Bertelsmann and troubles in the cable industry have further unsettled the market.
TV Platform Turmoil
The KirchMedia case is particularly interesting as over this past year European markets experienced the blackest clouds on the cable and satellite horizon, mostly because of the consolidation and insolvency of some of its pay TV platforms. A combination of tough competition, poorly thought out technology, paying too much for sports rights and just plain bad management have attacked and dried out the pay TV platform business, creating the bankruptcy of KirchMediaand the story repeats itself in France with Vivendi Universal, in Spain with Via Digital and Canal Satellite waiting to merge, and in Italy with Tele+.
In fact 2002 was the year of TV platform turmoil, which has produced a tidal wave and impacted the market so negatively that operators are shrinking costs, selling assets, merging and pushing themselves to find solutionsbut the clock is ticking and there will be few survivors.
It all started when the KirchMedia pay TV operation, Premiere World, lost about $4 billion in four years of business despite reaching 2.4 million subscribers. Through a series of complex deals, Premiere World had bought its sports and movie rights through another unit of KirchMedia, which exaggerated the pay TV operators costs. One of the sports that pulled the trigger was Formula One, which is extremely popular in Germany. However, Premiere World has had limited acceptance as the German market has a low appetite for pay TV because of the high number of free channels.
An Empire
KirchMedia is one of Europes largest media conglomerates, which owns the TV rights to not only Formula One, but also the 2002 and 2006 World Cup football (soccer) and controls the German language rights for a huge library of Hollywood films. Its debt burden, however, is estimated by some to amount to as much as US$13 billion. The company is now beleaguered on all fronts and the empire built by owner Leo Kirch has fallen apart.
KirchMedia's rapid expansion during the 1990s and acquisition of bigtime sports rights have brought the company depth but relatively poor revenues. Leo Kirch made his fortune by buying up the German language TV rights of many Hollywood movies during the 1960s and 1970s. After deregulation of the broadcaster sector, he expanded into TV, setting up his own free to air television station and the Premiere pay TV channel. To attract customers he bought expensive sports rights just at the height of the Internet and media boom. His critics say that he was over paying and playing well over the odds. German TV viewers are accustomed to receiving between 10 to 30 free TV channels through cable, so they have been slow to sign up for pay TV channels.
In February 2002, Prosieben Sat 1 decided to postpone a planned merger deal to give KirchMedia time to establish a more solid financial profile. The merger was designed to give KirchMedia access to fresh capital because Prosieben Sat 1 is already listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange. Privately held KirchMedia already holds a 52.5% state in Prosieben Sat 1 but only half the voting rights. When the news of the delay broke, the TV groups share price surged 20%. Half the voting rights in the broadcaster are held by the Axel Springer publishing group, which recently shocked KirchMedia by invoking a so-called put option which forces KirchMedia to buy back into Prosieben Sat 1 for $775m. This triggered a cash crisis at KirchMedia. KirchMedia owns 40% of Axel Springer but cannot sell this stake as it is the security for a loan from Deutshe bank.
Trouble Upon Trouble
Meanwhile, Rupert Murdochs News Corporation added to KirchMedias woes by writing off its stake in Premiere. Mr. Murdoch has ruled out any further investment in KirchMedia and invoked yet another put option, which will force KirchMedia to buy back Mr. Murdochs stake in Premiere -- at the set price of $1.72 billion, well above the channels market value. Plus, adding insult to injury, several banks that provide loans to KirchMedia have already gone on record saying they will not continue to support the firm any longer.
In October 2002, KirchMedia was on the verge of securing its long-term future after an all-German consortium entered exclusive talks to buy the bankrupt group. In March though after KirchMedia, its parent company, collapsed under a $6.28 billion burden, the jewel in the crown of the now defunct empire was put up for sale. German publisher Bauer Verlag and Hypo Vereinsbank (HVB), the countrys second largest commercial bank, were expected to tie up a $1.96 billion deal by mid-December. Plus, Sony's Columbia Tristar was expected to join the consortium.
Bauer publishes big-selling titles such as a TV programming guide and a German version of Hello! magazine. The family owned group also controls 20% of RTL2, one of the top four stations in the highly aggressive German TV market.
The RTL Group, owner of Channel 5 and a 36% shareholder in RTL2, has not objected to the KirchMedia deal, but it's concerned that a take over of Prosieben Sat1 could clash with RTL2s interests.
Moreover, Bauer and HVB will have to mount a full takeover of Prosieben Sat 1 if their bid for KirchMedia is successful, as German law requires bidders acquiring more than 30% of a company to make an offer for 100% of the shares. This would add around $475 million to the cost of the bid.
Other bidders for the company included a link-up between French broadcaster TF1 and Haim Saban, and a group of KirchMedia shareholders, including the Lehman Brothers investment bank and Saudi investor Prince Ali-Waleed.
A Symptom
KirchMedias creditors, comprising U.S. film studios and German banks, have already sold KirchSport Group, owner of the rights to the 2006 World Cup. But Premiere was not included in this KirchMedia rescue deal.
However, all of this changed the week of March 17th, just before MIPTV, as Mr. Saban is on the verge of taking control of the coveted assets lost by Mr. Kirch, making him the first non-German to break into Germanys media market in a big way with a deal that is worth more than $2 billion. TF1 is also in partnership in the bidding with Mr. Saban. In an interview with Der Spiegel, Mr. Saban explained why he was so hungry: Its as if a big U.S. network like ABC or NBC were up for sale, such chances are rare.
German channels are all suffering from this pay TV platform turmoil. As rival platforms have battled it out to attract subscribers, some channels have been able to squeeze better terms, but if a platform fails, this leaves the channels with fewer options and less leverage in future carriage fee negotiations. In this environment, those channels with long-term contracts in place should have sufficient breathing space to find alternative revenue streams against what will almost certainly be tougher negotiations and lower fees for their channels the next time they have to deal with a platform.
The collapse of the KirchMedia empire has had tremendous consequences on every sector of the German media, including the co-production business. The German market was saturated with library product, which eventually lowered overall pricing. There was a huge surplus of content but the demand was not there.
Whats happened in Germany with KirchMedia, or in France with Vivendi Universal, clearly changed the whole media market. TV stations are anxious and more conservative partly as a result of falling advertising and subscription revenues. It is also not just the story of an individual business failure but a symptom of an unstable international media market.
Sandrine Pechels de Saint Sardos is currently freelancing in distribution and programming, working for clients such as Hallmark/Crown Media and Classic Media. She previously worked for Sunbow Entertainment where she handled distribution and business development in North America, Europe and Asia. Born in Paris, France and living in New York for the past 7 years, she is also pursuing co-financing and co-production. She has been a panelist for KIPA in Korea and a juror for the International Emmys.

Authorities had issued a Gold Alert for Smith after relatives reported her missing Tuesday night. She had last been seen getting into her car around 11 a.m. that day.
Investigators said Smith's ordeal began after two girls approached her at the Chicken Man convenience store in Milford and asked for a ride to the Lincoln area.
Smith agreed to give the girls a ride, but when they arrived at a residence, they demanded her car keys, then forced her into the trunk of the car before driving off. They later took more than $500 from her coat pocket.
At some point, the two girls picked up the 17-year-old boys and showed them that Smith was in the trunk.
After spending almost two days trapped in the trunk, Smith was dropped off at the cemetery, police said.

The IQ Alpha Hedge Strategy Fund (IQ Fund), the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF (IQ Multi-Strategy ETF), the IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF (QMN ETF), and the IQ Macro Tracker ETF (IQ Macro ETF) are not hedge funds and do not invest in hedge funds. The IQ Alpha Hedge Strategy Fund is a registered open-end mutual fund that invests in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and similar securities in an attempt to replicate the performance characteristics of certain hedge fund investing styles, but with less cost, more liquidity, and greater portfolio transparency than traditional hedge funds. There can be no assurance that the Funds' investment strategies will be successful. The investment performance of the IQ Multi-Strategy ETF, the QMN ETF, the IQ Macro ETF and the IQ Real Return ETF (collectively, the IQ ETFs), because they are funds of funds, depends on the investment performance of the underlying ETFs in which they invest. There is no guarantee that the IQ ETFs themselves, or each of the underlying ETFs in the Funds' portfolios, will perform exactly as its underlying index. The IQ ETFs are non-diversified and susceptible to greater losses if a single portfolio investment declines than would a diversified mutual fund. The IQ ETFs' underlying ETFs invest in: foreign securities, which subject them to risk of loss not typically associated with domestic markets, such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty; commodities markets, which subject them to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds; and fixed income securities, which subject them to credit risk; the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable to make interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt; and interest rate risk; changes in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in interest rates. Leverage, including borrowing, will cause some of the IQ ETF's underlying ETFs to be more volatile than if the underlying ETFs had not been leveraged. The QMN ETF is new and has limited operating history.

As a direct seller whose 'store' is the brochure and printed materials, with virtually no brick and mortar stores, Avon is a significant user of paper. The issue of deforestation is especially important to Avon given our reliance on paper. We are committed to helping end deforestation through our internal efforts and policies, including the Avon Paper Promise and Avon Palm Oil Promise and our reforestation fundraising initiative, Healthy Forests, Beautiful World.
As a significant consumer of paper products, Avon can influence both supply and demand in the market. In March 2010, we announced the Avon Paper Promise, a comprehensive policy for promoting responsible forest use and protecting forests.
We are committed to optimizing our overall use of paper in every area of our business, including distribution methodologies, basis weight reductions, reductions in brochure size, and increasing the use of electronic media as a replacement for paper-based products. We also continue to leverage technology and establish paperless processes wherever possible.
Our goal is to purchase 100 percent of our paper from certified and/or post-consumer recycled content sources by 2020 with a certification preference of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). As of 2013, 74 percent of Avon's brochure paper met the Avon Paper Promise commitments, and approximately 25 percent of paper used in Avon's product brochures is sourced from FSC certified forests.
Read the Avon Paper Promise.
Avon recognizes that palm oil is a significant cause of tropical deforestation and peatland depletion, which can result in the loss of natural habitats for endangered species, and also has known human rights issues.
Although more than 80 percent of palm oil is used for food products, it also is one of many natural oils used in personal care products. Avon is not a significant user of palm oil or palm kernel oil (PKO) and predominantly uses ingredients that are derivatives of palm oil and PKO.
As a company, we are committed to protecting the environment and respecting and upholding the human rights of the communities and workers affected by our operations and supply chain. That is why Avon adopted its first Palm Oil Promise in 2011 outlining our guidelines for purchasing sustainably sourced palm oil and joined the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) to help continue the development, implementation and verification of credible global standards for sustainable palm oil. Since 2011, we have supported the production of sustainable palm oil through the GreenPalm program, which means that for every estimated ton of palm oil derivative we use in the production of our products, we have paid a voluntary premium to a palm oil producer that is operating within the RSPO strict guidelines for social and environmental responsibility. For the 2015 calendar year, we supported the production of 20,000 metric tons of sustainable palm oil through the purchase of Book&Claim certificates in the GreenPalm program.
Avon wishes to increase our support of responsible palm oil sourcing and we therefore issued a more comprehensive Palm Oil Promise in July 2015 to ensure greater traceability and responsible sourcing in our palm oil supply chain. The traceability of palm/PKO derivatives is complex and we know this will not be an easy journey, but Avon is committed to implementing a plan to achieve responsible palm oil sourcing. We are dedicated to working in collaboration with our suppliers to ensure palm oil, palm kernel oil, and derivatives used in Avon products globally meet our revised guidelines outlined in the Avon Palm Oil Promise.
These revised palm oil guidelines are designed to hold our suppliers accountable to specific sourcing principles. We also have outlined a process and timeline for developing an implementation plan.

When we first brought you the story of 4-year-old Bonnie Claire Shelton of New Bern she was about to celebrate remission from a rare type of cancer that had attacked one of her kidney's. She was given a trip to Disneyworld thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. But after returning from that trip Bonnie's parents got the news their daughter's cancer had returned, and this time in her lungs. Doctors say Bonnie has 20 more weeks of chemotherapy left, and her radiation treatments ended just before Thanksgiving. Even with all the trials this family says they still have a lot to be thankful for, including the researchers who make her treatment possible. Doctors say even though there's not an exact prognosis right now in Bonnie's case, they are hopeful for a positive outcome because of the type of technology available today.

University of California Riverside Gets an Olympic Pool-Sized Battery to Power Its Engineering Building
Posted By Molly Cotter On November 15, 2011 @ 12:10 pm In Environment,Renewable Energy | 1 Comment
The University of California Riverside has one very dedicated alum who puts our measly $50 annual donations to our alma maters to shame. Winston Chung, founder and CEO of Chinese energy heavyweight Winston Global Energy [2] recently gave the college more than $2 million worth of rare earth lithium-ion batteries [3] equalling 1.1 megawatts of power and measuring the length of an entire 164 foot olympic sized pool! The school will use the batteries initially to power the first floor of their engineering building but the plan is to eventually expand their use to allow the building to generate all of its own juice, moving it off the power grid [4] entirely in the near future.
Solar panels on the roof of the engineering building will be providing the batteries with most of their energy to store and use. Though actually powering the entire building by battery would prove very expensive at this point in time, the donation is more of an enormous opportunity for the school of engineering to study, test, and experiment with alternative energy.
Chung will also be funding six $100,000 research grants for the school of engineering faculty that will hopefully improve cell phone, laptop, and electric vehicle technology significantly.

Assessing the progression of a childs behavior is meaningful in the evaluation of the childs growth, and the effectiveness of the teachers programs and strategies. A teacher can use data collected in an assessment to re-evaluate educational decisions that he or she has made in regards to a students behavior. This presentation will reveal research that displays benefits of using naturalistic observation, a form of assessment to collect data that is an accurate reflection of the child in his or her natural state. Research shows that studying behaviors in which the observer is not directly involving him or herself directly will increase the validity of the results. The presentation focuses on a naturalistic observation the researchers conducted at a daycare highlighting a boys undesired behavior of stealing toys. This is a method his teachers can use for data collection in order to modify instruction, and to create a plan to change his behavior.

Excellent gameRocksteady has outdone its previous effort in Arkham Asylum with this gem of a sequel. Few things can be as gratifying as gliding through the night sky of a thug-infested city, dive-bombing into the middle of a gang and spreading some goodness one bone-crunching punch at a time! The story is cool with neat appearances by many of the Bat's famous arch-villains, hidden trophies that will need an observant eye and often some brain-twisting, and there is a nice challenge mode that adds more gaming hours to the single player campaign.

The best online store-indiaDelivered promptly within the time frame and I've ordered from flipkart before, as always fantastic service.Infact the game is cheaper here.The game requires no intro and is a strong contender for GOTY.To play as the catwoman you'll have to use the catwoman dlc code included in the game box, as for the pre-orders flipkart clearly mentions in it's guidelines that shipments for pre-orders begin the day it's available.

Awesome Game, Awesome service !I came here to write a review for the game, and while it is awesome, I must say that there are a lot of people who probably don't understand the concept of pre-order here.

CARSON, Calif. (AP) Marcelo Sarvas and Hector Jimenez scored second-half goals, and the Los Angeles Galaxy beat FC Dallas 2-0 on Sunday night to post back-to-back wins for the first time since April.
Sarvas nodded home a cross from Robbie Keane in the 65th minute, and Jimenez slotted a feed from Robbie Rogers in the 80th for the Galaxy (9-7-3), who vaulted from fifth to third in the Western Conference, four points behind Real Salt Lake.
Second-place FC Dallas (8-4-7) would have pulled even on points with RSL with a win.
Los Angeles, the two-time reigning MLS Cup champion, dominated the game. The Galaxy outshot Dallas 22-6 and created nearly a dozen scoring chances. Dallas tested goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini just once, with Jackson Goncalves' dipping shot from 28 yards forcing a diving save in the 76th minute.

Kenya - FY 2009 Approved Funding by Program Area, Agency and Funding Source
*Only appropriations from the GHCS (State) fund account are notified by the Global AIDS Coordinator.
PEPFAR Kenya has been a leader in the scale-up of voluntary medical male circumcision and prevention with positives. Exciting public-private partnerships are being piloted in Kenya due to exceptional PEPFAR leadership and a highly functional interagency team. Additional funding has been reprogrammed to support voluntary medical male circumcision services, in response to growing demand for this important prevention service. The PMTCT program is extremely strong, reaching almost national scale and supporting testing for 69% of women attending ante-natal clinic.
In preparing a COP with a modest decrease over prior year funding levels, the country team redoubled its performance-based budgeting efforts by conducting rigorous assessments of partner performance, pipelines, and the best strategic fit between USG funding and that of the partner government and other development partners. This rigorous assessment resulted in improved strategic programming including efforts to address results from the groundbreaking 2007 Kenya AIDS Indicator Survey (KAIS), which documented disturbing trends in infection, including higher-than-expected rates among older adults and rural populations as well as continuing disproportionate impact on women and girls.
The PEPFAR prevention portfolio for Kenya includes interventions to improve blood safety, reduce exposure through safer medical injection, expand voluntary male circumcision (MC), and prevent mother-to-child transmission; as well as behavioral/sexual transmission interventions including AB programs, condoms and other prevention activities, and work with injection drug users and other high-risk populations. An increasing number of prevention partners are incorporating alcohol and substance awareness messaging in their comprehensive programs. PEPFAR is working with the Government to support the scale up of MC with a focus in Western Kenya where there are high levels of demand from the approximately 900,000 uncircumcised men between the ages of 10 and 50. An additional exciting new prevention program is the Nairobi pilot of the Partnership for an HIV-Free Generation: a unique and promising network of public-private partnerships linking the core competencies of the private sector with the experience and reach of PEPFAR youth programs.
Kenya has increased its breadth and depth of care programs for people living with HIV/AIDS. For example, with strong U.S. technical and financial support, Kenya continues to provide global leadership in expanding CT. It is anticipated that FY 2009 CT efforts are expected to help five million Kenyans learn their HIV status. Additional Care projects include the initiation of CT, prevention counseling and links to treatment in all OVC programs and the expansion of innovative programs such as the Mwangalizi Project, which recruits and trains HIV-positive adults who are successfully managing their own treatment to be accompagnateurs for children without consistent care managers in their homes. Kenya's care and mitigation efforts also include TB/HIV programs to identify and care for those who are co-infected and community-support and mitigation services to strengthen households affected by AIDS.
Treatment priorities include procurement of generic ARV drugs at over 80% of the value of all purchases, accommodating patients failing first-line therapy by increasing the percentage of drug procurement committed to second-line regimens, and preparing for an expected shift to a tenofovir-based first-line regimen later in 2009. Additional funding has been allocated to support TB and HIV programs in order to improve the reach of critical services to co-infected populations.
The Kenya team has requested 15% of Partnership Framework funds to support activities that (1) represent critical priorities as identified in their Concept Note of September, (2) respond to urgent public health imperatives and to the priorities of the Government of Kenya, and/or (3) buttress the quality of data available to inform quantification of baselines and goals for the eventual Partnership Framework document.

Monday, October 10, 2011
BRENTWOOD — Junior wingback Levi Morland and the North Callaway Thunderbirds are picking up momentum as they prepare for the onset of district play.
Morland rushed for a career-high 171 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns Friday night as North Callaway resisted Brentwood's second-half rally to preserve a 26-21 victory over the Eagles.
The win was the second in a row and third in the last four games for the Thunderbirds, who moved their season record to 3-4. Brentwood — which trailed 20-0 at halftime but gave North Callaway some tense moments over the final 24 minutes — is also 3-4.
"It was a good team victory, but we didn't finish like I wanted us to do," Thunderbirds head coach Mike Emmons said.
North Callaway needed one final defensive stop to ditch the Eagles. Brentwood drove the ball to the Thunderbirds' 15-yard line with less than 4 minutes to play in the game, but North Callaway's defense stuffed a running play on third down and the Eagles were flagged for a personal foul on a late hit.

A Child Against All Odds
Transworld, Apr 13, 2011 - Science - 560 pages
Compared to the famously fecund rabbit, for whom a single act of coitus has a 90% chance of creating a litter of up to 12 rabbits, humans are very infertile animals. Here in the UK, the average chance of conception is about 18% per month. And in 98% of cases, successful conception leads only to the birth of a single infant. It is unsurprising then that huge efforts have been made to increase our fertility.
In vitro fertilisation, first attempted one hundred years ago, has now become big business. Market forces, combined with the desperation of many couples to fulfil their biological imperative, have pushed doctors and scientists closer to the boundaries of what is desirable or ethical. And as we are increasingly able to access and control the embryo, the opportunities of altering human genetics to eradicate disease, but also to change human characteristics, becomes a real, and to some, frightening possibility.
A Child Against All Odds is a ground-breaking book for Robert Winston as it falls squarely in his area of expertise. It combines his work at Hammersmith Hospital as one of the country's leading fertility specialists, with a hard-hitting, sometimes humorous, often controversial look at the scientific, social and ethical background of man's struggle to discover and control the secrets of reproduction. Drawing on personal and professional experience, it is the definitive account of modern reproductive technology from a practitioner who has spent his professional life at the forefront of this most fascinating and emotive area of science.

I didn't put Rossi down, I simply pointed out that the claim that Rossi destroyed Stoner was BS, which it is.
You agree that Rossi couldn't ride the Ducati like Stoner, and Rossi has said it himself, but Sam is still in gaga land. Maybe in Sam's dreams, Rossi destroys Stoner...maybe in yours too. Just not on a race track on Earth in real life. Sorry the truth hurts you so much. If you don't want the backlash, don't make (or support) stupid claims.

We all see the greens on the pitch, we all love them. No introduction needed here. An interview with Azhar Ali, our international cricket team player! Interview by Marium Munir, an intern at Ideas Evolved.
1. Tell us about how you ended up in cricket, what has been your inspiration? Tell us about your journey into the world of cricket up till now.
Cricket was in our family. I didn't choose it, it has always been in me since I was a child. I grew up seeing my brother play. Getting up and going straight to the grounds was our routine. I started playing at a very early age. When I was 9, I was playing with the senior players already. They have been very nice to me. I played for the cricket team in the year 2000. Eventually I made it to the under-17 and then the under-19 players. I had a gap of six years when I didn't play for the team. Those were the hardest years of my life. As a bowler, I wasn't doing very well. Then I decided to switch to being a batsman. Fortunately, it worked out for me. After three years of practice, I started playing for the matches with the team.
2. Your father has been an athlete as well; the winner of the marathon race. Tell us about the role he has played as a father, in inspiring you to sports.
He's been an inspiration for all of us. He's hard working in anything he would choose to do. He was hard working as a professor, he was very hard working as an athlete. He's very disciplined. Although he has always tried for us to inherit that from him, I don't think I can ever be as disciplined as him. His fitness is still in a very good shape. I hope for it to continue to stay this way. He has supported me in the most difficult times. When I wasn't confident if I could play for Pakistan's cricket team, if I would ever make it, he believed I could. That kept me going.
3. Tell us about your personal life. How do you keep a balance of it with your highly busy professional life?
I am married with two kids. They do want me home all the time, my kids especially. It is upsetting when I can't be with them at special occasions. But I always tell them that all the other fathers leave the house in the morning and come back at night whereas when I'm home from the tours, I stay there all the time for as long as I'm free. I love the time I spend with them. They are very understanding.
4. We all know that every Pakistani is passionate about cricket. During the World Cup, the streets got quieter than ever because everyone had to watch the match on the big screen. Everyone got a day off whether it be from offices or universities. How do you feel about those millions of expectations that people have with the team? How hard does it get with the public when our team loses a match?
As much as the excitement of the people thrills us, we also have our subconscious always telling us, "What if we lose this one?" The thought that the entire nation is praying for us, expecting from us to bring the trophies and medals to our land, does boost up our spirits. At the same time, the pressure starts building, too. It's very difficult when you lose a match, an important one especially. All the support is overwhelming but at the same time, your integrity is questioned. It doesn't feel good when that happens. Not only for ourselves, we feel that way for the entire team. You go there, you try and sometimes you don't make it. That happens, too. On the other hand, when we see the thousands of people waiting for us on the airport even after we lose a match, that is the most moving moment. It feels great to be loved this way. Most of the fans are very supportive.
5. If you were given a million dollars, how would you spend it?
Really? Okay, I would give most of the money away to the charity. But I'll save a good part for my living. Honestly, such things never happen.
6. In the Sri Lanka series, you equaled your career-best score of 157 runs on a rain-hit day and shared a record of 287-run partnership for the second wicket with Mohammad Hafeez. It is the highest wicket stand by any team against Sri Lanka. What has been the key to such boosted spirits and success?
We actually lost the first match. We didn't do very well and that was a lot of pressure. Hafeez and I always wanted to perform big together. When we started, we decided on concentrating on small sessions. We weren't thinking about high runs at that time. We were only concentrating on runs per half an hour. That kept us going, we kept on batting. We pushed every other thought out of our heads, the rain, the runs. Our focus was only the half an hour sessions. And we made it just like that, before we knew it.
7. Do you have a nickname or a funny name the team members made for you?
We all have nicknames. When you live in a family, there are jokes on you that always tag along, you have names that you carry for the rest of your lives. I wouldn't say about the nickname but there's this joke on me. Whenever I'm on the pitch, batting and a ball is thrown, they say I'm like a bottle of coca cola, on its verge of popping open. They always have that teasing grin on their faces while I'm batting, and they keep on nodding, waiting for me to whiplash the ball.
8. Do you guys take any energizers before the match?
Playing for Pakistan is an inspiration enough. The inspiration itself is our energizer. We only take pain killers. Other medicines are not permitted.
9. Does Ramadan impinge on your practice routine? How hard does it get?
It's definitely not easy. I love fasting while practicing. But we obviously change our routine into a more comfortable one. We usually come to the grounds at 5p.m now. We do our routine warm ups and practice a little. After the iftar, we do the training. Most of our training is in the evening then.
10. Any special rules that our team has, that works for you as the key to win a match?
The only real rule before a match is that we have to be back in our rooms early. We can't stay out or stay up late. It's not that keep on watching you until you sleep. But it's not like other routine days either when we can stay out.
11. What are your thoughts about having the captaincy?
I don't think about it just as yet. My only focus at the moment is to improve my performance, to make a mark on the grounds. And I think when the captaincy comes, it just comes to you. You don't have to run for it. Cricket is a funny game. One day you perform good and you're at the heights. The other day you score low and all of sudden you are down the charts. Sometimes your integrity is questioned. I think that is our major concern, our performance.
12. Do you have any superstitions for a lucky day or a lucky match, like most of the sportsmen do?
We all follow superstitions, especially when it comes to sports. We'd use the same bat until it goes into pieces. We don't mind if it has gone bad, we would play with it until we really can't. If I'm using a bat I score runs with, I would use it until it's not in the shape of being used anymore. Most of the times I wear the same glove in one tour until it wears out. It's just the way we feel comfortable on the pitch. Although we do realize it's not the bat or the glove that is playing the game. But then again, with all the pressure, we need our magic charms. We need our comfort zone to stand our grounds.
13. Share with us the funniest incident that has happened with the team?
The funniest, I can't tell. But here's one. It was funny as well as scary. While we were on this tour to New Zealand, I, Asad Shafiq and Khurram went out for dinner. The sunset there is around 10 p.m. That's the time we were walking the streets when we saw a car coming. It was about 50 meters away. There were two very huge dogs in the backseat. We were looking at the dogs, admiring their huge size when all of a sudden, the car started speeding in our direction. We were just about to enter the restaurant when the car stopped right in front of us. A man got out. At first I gladly thought he must be a fan until I saw the expression on his face. He then shouted, "Why are you looking at my girl?" We didn't even realize there was a girl in the front seat. The he started swearing! That got me really angry. I was about to say something to him when Asad Shafiq started laughing and waved "Hiii" to his girl. That was all it took for that man to threaten us. He told us he'd see us down there in the town. Then he left. From the restaurant back to the hotel, every car that passed by, we thought it was him or his friends he must be gathering to bully us! Then we thought about the running possibilities, but none of us was in appropriate shoes for that. Later on, he did really come back without the girl. He sped his car towards us, swore and flipped us off. We still laugh about it all the time. Just that it was scary when it happened.
14. Who are you closest to in the team and who according to you is the most supportive one?
I am closest to Asad Shafiq. We always hang out together on the tours. We're together all the time. I'm also very close Saeed Ajmal. The captain Misbah-ul-Haq is very supportive and Hafeez, too as a senior player has always been supportive.
15. All the matches have their own distinct pressure. Which match can you recall where you were the most pressurized?
I think it was the time when we were in Abu Dhabi, playing against England. We were losing by a few runs. We had already lost 4 wickets with low runs. I and Asad Shafiq were sharing the partnership. I think that was one of my career-best scores. All the pressure made me want to win the match even more.
16. Who would be your favorite personality?
Dr. Israr Ahmad. His words changed me, they touched my heart. I used to listen to him in my difficult times, since my teens. I really miss him. I wish he was still alive.
17. Out of all the countries you have been to, which one do you like the most?
If we talk about natural beauty, I'd say New Zealand. The place where I have enjoyed playing the most is Australia and UAE. Australia has an amazing atmosphere for cricket. UAE has excellent grounds and you could never get bored in Dubai.
18. Lastly, what advice would you like to give to the young boys who want to join cricket and what would be your message for your fans out there?
For all those who want to join cricket, I'd only say that don't look for shortcuts. Don't ask people to get you into the cricket team. Work hard enough so that the person himself should say "This guy should be in the team." Once you get into cricket through someone else and not your own hard work, you will have to carry that along for the rest of your life. It would only push you down. For the fans out there, I'd only ask for their support. Support our team, trust us. It's your support that makes us perform.

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- Gun laws in Georgia will not change in 2013.
House leaders said they could not come to an agreement with key senators over whether to expand gun possession rights on college campuses in Georgia.
While a conference committee released a compromise plan late Thursday, lawmakers supporting it acknowledged they did not have the support to force a vote before a midnight deadline. Any bills that don't pass by the final adjournment fail.
Both sides had agreed to allow local K-12 school boards to choose whether to arm certain school employees and allow churches to choose whether to allow concealed weapons on their property.
But House members wanted to relax restrictions for college students. Senate leaders sided with college executives who want to keep their existing bans on concealed weapons.

Will rice cereal in my baby's bottle satisfy him more?
My son is only 5 weeks old and weighs about 10lbs. & he seems to be eating all day long. I give him a 4 oz. bottle an about 30 min or an hour later he begins to act hungry again. I've tried a pacifier an he just screams more an spits it out. The only thing that works is to feed him more. This doesn't happen at every single feeding but does happen alot during the day time it seems. Just not sure what I need to do. Wondering if I should start cereal to help him get full.

No, you should not offer cereal. The lining of the intestinal tract of infants that young is not fully developed, so they are not able to appropriately handle cereal at 5 weeks. Cereal is also less calorie dense than formula, so if he really is hungry then filling him up with the fiber of cereal would not really be meeting his nutritional needs. I would suggest slightly increasing the size of his bottle from 4 ounces to 5 ounces so that he may not need to feed as often.posted 03/12/2013 by anchoragite
You might also consider trying other brands of pacifier or taking other soothing measures like swaddling, swinging, bouncing on an exercise ball, etc. At that age, different babies like different things and sometimes they act fussy and hungry when they really are tired and having a hard time settling down to nap.posted 03/12/2013 by anchoragite
