MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI has asked for some reinforcements but Berlusconi has reportedly said Max goes to Roma.
Milan have already begun the preparations for the next season with Riccardo Saponara signed and with Andrea Poli reportedly agreeing personal terms and Milan have more names in their notebook although they'll wait for Sunday first.
The Rossoneri will visit Siena on Sunday night and only after this match they'll know if they're in the Champions League next season or not. In any case, Milan are currently thinking about reinforcements for the elite European club competition.
Confederation Cup 2013: Five Milan players in Italy's initial squad
Report: Ambrosini offered two-year West Ham contract
According to today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, there was a long meeting at Stadio San Siro yesterday between Massimiliano Allegri, Adriano Galliani, Barbara Berlusconi, Ariedo Braida and some other Milan executives and it appears that Allegri has asked for reinforcements and some guarantees. Antonio Conte did the same thing with Juventus this week.
Gazzetta reports that at the top of Allegri's wishlist there is Lazio's midfielder Hernanes (27). Allegri is believed to has asked Galliani and the others for already-established good players along with some youngsters and Hernanes' name fits the bill. Lazio apparently want €30m but with Hernanes' contract expiring in two years, Milan could work out a deal. Torino's Alessio Cerci (25), who is co-owned by Fior, is also on Allegri's radar. Galliani has admitted a winger "wouldn't be bad".
Josip Ilicic (25), who will certainly leave the relegated Palermo, is another player Allegri is interested in. Gokhan Inler (28) of Napoli appears to be a target as well and there are suggestions that he could be exchanged with Antonio Nocerino (28) who has barely played this season. Cagliari's left-back Danilo Fernando Avelar (23) is also on the list of Massimiliano.
Allegri has made demands but it isn't sure he'll stay. Silvio Berlusconi reportedly said last night: "Allegri will go to Roma. The announcement will come after the Siena game." The press claims he joked, but there's a grain of truth in every joke…
we need two quality center backs and a left back and two mid fielders and we will be completed and will surely win our league as well a gud contest in champs league
Just that?? Just 5 players?? 50% of a team…
We need 1 CB and 1 creative MF… thats its.. the rest is good
Almost forgot, we also need a coach
siena is d most important tin 4 me now after that den we ll see what happens…..and i want all of u to stop bragging about abt things that are not gonna happen and there must be peace in here..shoutout 2 my real milanistas …forza milan
Shd Allegri go, I think MAZARI shd take charge. Allegri just can't take us anywhere. He lacks vision.
I agree!
Roma needs a good coach so let Max go to Roma..if Mr President wants to give Seedorf a chance to coach Milan..then so be it..
Mr. President is the most passionate Milan fan I know..he puts his money in the club..and its a bit too late for Max to start thinking of playing champaigne football..
"..Allegri goes to Roma.." dis isnt an oxymoron..its a statement of fact
Though I'm against allegri leaving buh I'd be happy happy if he goes to roma and does well then we would appreciate his efforts
If a new coach comes in and milan gets all of their transfer targets and allegri eventualy gets fired, I'd rilly feel for him, I wish we could give seedorf or whoever is coming in the same squad allegri used and see where we would end up…my hats off for max allegri
Berlusconi is a politician, but he is very poor in reading situation. Why should he tell Allegri leave before the most important game in this season ? Milan should stay condusive and avoid the controversy, so players can do the best.
Anyone can tell me ? What psychology method that Berlu use that ?
Berlusconi is very smart in football terms. Don't forget he was the one who chose Sacchi, Capello,Zaccheroni, Ancelotti, and Allegri! All winners with the exception of Leonardo-who he also chose!
So 5:1 is a pretty good ratio!
In all fairness to Berlusconi he is spot on when it comes to selecting coaches so I trust his judgment as he normally gets it right most of the time!
Its time for Allegri to go! I would welcome a coach like Mazarri, Frank de Boer of Ajax or Donadonni!
Max prefers van bomel 2 pirlo,thus max wants defensive play.max has realise is error,also max cant read a game,allegri is not a good coach that just the truth
@ donsky, ure right, berlu may have caused the team dis-harmony ahead of the siena game, if we don't win now,they will say its allegri's fault
Cyborg doesnt deserve explanations from any of you, as he clearly is blind to them. Allegri is a disciplinarian. I bet you, no other coach would've been able to handle cassano, ibrahimovic, balotelli, etc the way he did and is still doing. The reason pirlo left was pirlo's choice, not allegri's(you all saw that in his book). Allegri doesn't like working with player who aren't ready to sacrifice themselves for the team (ronaldinho going to night clubs a day to crucial matches, robinho not liking to track back e.t.c). Bojan doesn't play much because he's on loan, and if he plays too much his asking price will increase. Obviously, Max likes him, else we won't be seeking a reduced asking-price from barca. Somepeople just don't think with their brains, maybe they're bald and all the IQ fell off with the hairs on their heads. Bashing Allegri for senseless reasons..SMH.
'Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes'
Forza Allegri!!
Forza MILANO!!
Leonardo you keep whining about said 'the best team is one with Moratti as president and Galliani as vice'. He didnt even like berlusconi because he couldnt take the rubbish berlu is always saying about coaches in medias. Yet, Allegri has put up with all that humbly, and is willing to go on..now, that's what I call a Milanisti.
Admin, what are you moderating in my first comment? I didnt use foul languages and didn't curse..so? Or are you also against Allegri?
Please. Someone give me the website (english version) of la gazetta dello sport.
@ladon, barca didn't dominate europe cos they tracked back……..they ruled cos they barely allow the opponent any time in their half as they do get the job done before the opponents gets into their half and they have the best player in the world to make the diff + teams accord them too much respect………and when the needed the much needed tracking back was needed against bayern, it was found wanting and bayern capitalised on that much weakness!!!!
Imagine an elshaarawy in iniesta's place, he might not have scored (iniesta didn't either) alba would have been less exposed to the torment of robben
Nocerino,Ambrosini,Traore,Bonera,Antonini,Amelia,and Robinho….?? Maybe Hernanes,Cerci,Julio Cesar,Ogbonna,Poli and
Okay what about this for next season:
Coach: Allegri (IF HE WINS TOMORROW, COME ON!!!!!)
–De Sciglio—-Mexes/Zapata—–Ogbonna—-Alex Sandro-
—Saponara——Hernanes/Mugni/KAKA——–El Shaarawy
Jherson Amu Vergara
De Jong
I know I'm just dreaming, but I hope a few of these changes will be made!
But first let's get those 3 points tomorrow.
Forza Milan!

Sea Monkeys
Well I have 62 rescued bettas at my house and 3 of my own bettas (the rescues are up for adoption. They were taken from a store that was shut down do to poor conditions). It looks like sea monkeys are really easy to care for, and I know bettas LOVE brine shrimp, so I grabbed some eggs, food and conditioner and got a mini critter keeper to put them in. I put in water and conditioner and I am waiting 24 hours to put in the eggs. My room is about 68 in the winter, so I need something to keep the tank warm but I'm no sure how.... Will they reproduce on their own? What do I do for water changes and top offs? Is there anything else I need to know? (oh, and I will get more tanks and more shrimp if this works out because it wouldn't be nearly enough shrimp for 65 bettas in just on critter keeper. Thanks!!!
I think the baby brine shrimp need salt water. And they'll be pretty tiny, almost too tiny to feed the bettas. (though they might still eat some...) and most likely the brine shrimp won't grow big enough to reproduce in your critter keeper... Best to just keep hatching eggs if you want the baby brine shrimp. tho this won't be the best thing to feed grown bettas.
Edit: oh, btw, since you have food maybe they will grow a bit. idk how easy they are to breed though. for water changes you'd add salt water. For top offs, you'd add freshwater, since the salt does not evaporate. goodluck.
thanks! Yah I got the saltwater conditioner stuff with the eggs... Ok, I never thought about the salt not evaperating (I'm new to this whole SW thing). Do I need any extra aeration? Can sea monkeys jump, or can I leave the critter keeper uncovered? How can I heat the water better?
Well, I hatch baby brine shrimp (sea monkeys) to feed to my baby fish, and they have been hatching fine in my bathroom which is probably 68-70 degrees since it is winter. I've never tried keeping them after they hatched though. All I really know about is how to hatch them. I don't aeriate my hatcheries and they hatch fine, though everywhere I read recommends using an air pump. You can buy a small tank heater to use. Make sure it's safe for saltwater. Anyways, any of the information about keeping them after they hatch is what I would assume you'd do... you might be able to find some guides on raising brine shrimp on google or somewhere. It might have better information.
Ok thx! So If I got a 5-10g tank and put salt and conditioner in it and let it sit for a day, then I could add brine shrimp and they would grow larger?
I'm not really sure how successful you'd be in trying to raise adult-sized brine shrimp. As Austin said, they're easy to hatch but pretty difficult to grow into adult shrimp (that's why, with Sea Monkeys, you start out with a billion of the little guys and end up with 1 or 2 adults).
I've never even heard of 24 hours... I just dissolved rock salt in water and dropped the eggs in.
As far as heat, if you're worried about it, put them close to a light bulb. (not too close!)
I read somewhere that light helps them hatch. I wouldn't really know though...
I don't think it's that they won't hatch without an airstone, but maybe they have a higher hatch percentage with aeration? I think its just so the eggs stay moving and aren't settled in the bottom the whole time.
I've even fed my guppies Triops before, but you have to be careful with those...
If one managed to survive a few months by hiding, it would get big enough to eat guppy fry... and after a year it would be eating adults...
I don't think triops can live a whole year. They only live for about 90 days, as far as I know. But they do get large enough that I'd worry about them eating adult guppies.

« South Carolina Faces Huge Disabilities Budget Cuts: Please Call Your Legislator! | Main | The Supreme Court Takes Bruesewitz v. Wyeth: Is There Justice for Vaccine Injury Victims? »
By Jake Crosby
"There are groups out there that insist that vaccines are responsible for a variety of problems despite all scientific evidence to the contrary. We have reached out to media outlets to try to get them to not give the views of these people equal weight in their reporting to what science has shown and continues to show about the safety of vaccines," (HERE) according to HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, in her interview with Arthur Allen for The Reader's Digest, on February 5th of this year. Sebelius basically admitted to pressuring media outlets to report disinformation to the public in place of information that does not support the safety of the government's most heavily promoted drug. As shocking as this statement was the first time I read it, I honestly could have predicted such a scenario.
One year ago, I wrote a short post for Age of Autism entitled "History Suggests HHS Candidate Not Unbiased on Thimerosal-Vaccine Issue," amidst the Brian Deer-concocted hysteria and the flurry over autism cases in vaccine court. It was written in response to a number of disturbing things I read at the time about members of her staff dismissing concerns about thimerosal when she was Governor of Kansas. I was disappointed with the lack of mobilization in response to my post, though the timing of her nomination was very unfortunate. What was especially disappointing was that she replaced Senator Tom Daschle, who helped kill the Homeland Security Rider that would have protected thimerosal manufacturers such as Eli Lilly from litigation.
Worst of all, I was right. When I first saw her interviewed for CBS by Katie Couric last year, Sebelius confirmed that she was biased when she insisted thimerosal was safe. I was disappointed, but not shocked. Now as it turns out, she not only believes thimerosal is safe, but is getting the media outlets to say so for her. The New York Times, The LA Times, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, The Washington Post, TIME, Wired…I can only guess!
It goes without saying that the government is no more entitled to its share of media coverage than consumer groups are. That news reporters are even following through on the government's demands is unacceptable and in violation of journalism ethics.
Government officials like Sebelius have also launched a very successful two-pronged campaign so far. The first is one of positive publicity and self-promotion, selling themselves as the "experts" in autism. In reality, public health officials are not experts in autism at all, and Sebelius' specialty is in insurance, which means her background does not even give her the most vague knowledge about autism. Meanwhile, Paul Offit feigns authority in a favorite argumentative technique claiming, "Science is best left to scientists." Yet the real scope of his knowledge is made clear on posts he had written for "Science"Blogs, in which he said he learned about autism primarily through newspapers and lay people with personal connections to the disorder.

Hey, Jake, the link to the Reader's Digest article quoting Ms. Sibelius no longer works.
I am assuming that they are trying to cover up all traces of what she really said, now that they realize that it's been made public....
I hope you can write more about this specific occurrence.

ordering the press not to report the story of the other side.Democracy?You must be joking.They clearly know that they are
damaging 2-8% of the population,some will have delayed effects,some will break under the toxic load as the mercury,formaldehyde,
aluminum adjuvants etc. bio-accumulate in their body.Now they have added detergents to
the the mixture (polysorbates),they are sitting in their lab and screaming "it is safe",never looking at the patients (to get a feedback)whose lives are completely destroyed.Wake up parents and protect your children.Start reading labels,investigate everything you eat,put on your skin,your meds,your grocery.They have even put anti-freeze into the salad dressing.Polysorbates into the icecreams.
We are
poisoned by these corporations.I wonder if this gets through.
I am an autistic person, and Ari Ne'eman does not speak for me.
She was the Governor of Kansas. Prior to being Governor she was the state's Insurance Commissioner. If I remember correctly, this is unusal because she is a Democrat and Kansas is typically a Republican state. Her husband was (maybe still is?) a Judge I believe and I believe her father was in politics in Ohio.
What is wrong with Ari Ne'eman. Why do you want to stop autistic people speaking for themselves.
The only surprising thing here is that Sebelius' urging the press to "not give equal weight to these people" is that it became public. The media are paid by pharmaceutical, insurance, and other companies. That's how they survive. There is no independent press. I am not sure there ever was one.
Mercury in all medicines as well as amalgams has been treated as if it were unimportant, as if the dose makes the poison, and that mercury is not all that dangerous. There even have been studies showing that mercury is good for the developing brain (True!). Pharmaceutical companies do it with any substance that hurts their bottom line.
In the same vein one might think the recent surge of interest in Vitamin D would be left alone. But as you might see in a recent Chicago Tribune article, doubt is cast on the validity of all the recent discoveries implicating Vitamin D deficiency. Pharmaceutical companies are afraid of losing a niche market that as of now has been unregulated.
The connection of mercury and Vitamin D is not farfetched. Mercury causes kidney failure which in turn causes Vitamin D hormone (calcitriol) deficiency and with that glutathione deficiency. The foreign press is not quite as cowed.
Thanks for the article!
encore! encore!
Oh Kathleen, Kathleen, how transparent can you be?
Working for the government, vaccines, your own interests, what a trilogy?
Says you, we are cooks and loony cranks
Deservant of no voice or wide appeal, gee thanks
Stifle the little children, forbid them.. gee how nice
Suffer them, let them be a living sacrifice
They have no voice,
they have no choice
they are acceptible losses to most
And will continue to haunt your your business plan like a scary midnight ghost
Can you silent the angry outcry?
Can you just let these children suffer and die?
Censorship is what you want to make it alright?
I must ask? How can you sleep at night?
Stifle the free speech, what a free world I live in today?
Where children are less deserved of attention, than an acceloratored car on a highway?
Where animals and pets get more attention of health affects
Than a child who is a pin cushion and immune damaged wrecks
Oh Kathleen, Kathleen, your way too deep now to turn back
Can you remember your last lie, or do you always have to think fast?
You yield some power, your on a power mind trip
frankly my darling, you make me and others sick
Corruption is entrenched from the vaccine makers to you
All are complicit, and in danger of the bold and revealing truths
If they come in my lifetime, a miracle that would be
But I won't hold my breathe as long as you are standing watching over the vaccine zealotry
If you are afraid of these very truths on the verge
Perhaps a quick kick in the pants would give you that bold courage
To stand up to your bosses that sit in yonder leather chairs
As they sit and laugh at little moms and dads who have no power to change these sad affairs
Ah yes, Kathleen, we may share a name it's true
But, you are the most indecent human being I know, and I am glad I am not YOU!
Health, and Human Services, oh is that right you say?
Your whole agency is a farce, a whacky beholden to pharmalot ways
My taxes are paying your salary, oh how I disgust at the thought
It's not the world of freedom that I was taught
Where people have a voice, decide on what laws govern right
Oh Kathleen, Kathleen, HOW DO you sleep at night?
It's amazing that KS feels perfectly fine about saying, "We have reached out to media outlets to try to get them to not give the views of these people equal weight in their reporting..." We are called paranoid conspiracy theorists, but there it is in black & white, our HHS secretary saying that she is attempting to censor this story. And apparently her (and others') attempts have been quite successful.
Reminds me of the 2005 article "Drug Test" from the Columbia Journalism Review - a quote:
"A reporter for a major media outlet, who did not want to be identified for fear of retribution, told me that covering the thimerosal controversy had been nearly 'career-ending'... 'For some reason giving any sort of credence to the side that says there's a legitimate question here - I don't know how it becomes this untouchable story, I mean that's what we do, so I don't understand why this story is more touchy than any story I've ever done.'"
Thanks, Jake, well said!
Katie: "Sebellius should be ashamed of herself".....but she is not. Shame is not in her genes or the genes of authoritarian arrogant vaccination bastards. What they want is the 11th commandment. Obey,vaccinate,obey.
Julie, how long before the internet sites are shut down after multinational corporations/governments fabricate some malevolent decree, which shuts down web sites. Just look at all the decrees which were issued directed at Jews after Kristallnacht.
And to add this to Jake's article: . http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/02/health/02flu.html?hp
About 40 members of the national press took part in the Washington, DC, event, which included some online flu blogs and news services..............Discussions during the three exercise modules "were off the record" so that federal officials could freely discuss their responses to potential communications problems.
Who from the press besides Forest Sawyer attended these events? Eight were held around the country. Was Sheryl Atkinson invited?
Vaccine Inc. is sinking like a stone in a deep pond, and big government big media and big pharma know it.
NOT becuase of websites like this or my own but, because there is both enough SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE and PHYSICAL EVIDENCE in the 'real world' that very much proves that vaccines are 1.) a danger to the public at large and 2.) make huge sums of money for the medical industrial complex on ALL fronts.
…but they don't need government pressure from Kathleen Sebelius. Big media IS big Pharma. They both own stock in each other. This is just a dog and pony show for the masses.
The comparisons to Nazi Germany are all too valid.
We, like the European Jews of the 1930's, are all too naive. We assume that just because we have truth and morality on our side, and because we are a civilized nation, that these evils can't continue, that all we have to do is point out that the emperor has no clothes and others will realize that we speak the truth.
It's going to take much, much, much more than just pointing out the obvious truth.
The pharm companies are more powerfully entrenched WITHIN the government and media than we'd ever imagined. They mix a shred of truth to their lies to make their lies stronger and more believable, and they've managed to convince even the most well-meaning and intelligent doctors that vaccines are safe.
Jake - very nicely done. That is a brilliant analysis, and it explains a lot of what we have been seeing over the past year.
Look, the real science is pointing in our direction. Anyone who has read (or tried to read) the Zimmerman book will come away (1) very encouraged that tangible progress is being made, and (2) that the real science - the non-tobacco-science - is pointing toward environmental pathogenesis and away from genetic causation.
Time is on our side in the sense that the truth is coming out. But time also working against our kids, as more and more fall victim each day to what appears to be a preventable disorder.
As we are now supposed to brace ourselves for a "third wave" of H1N1,
does anyone have a number on the total number of shots given in the US, and what the "cost per shot" of the "free, two billion dollar" pandemic response ???
News here today was that hospitals are still closed to visitors under 12 years of age due the th H1N1 scare. EVEN IF they have had their H1N1 and Seasonal FLU shots !!!
A child cannot visit a sick grampa or grandma....
Why does anyone ever wonder why the Media supports and broadcasts the pharmaceutical propaganda? The pharmaceutical industry played it smart when they bribed their way into getting permission from Congress to advertise in the media. Their financial influence over the media gets them whatever they want. They own the media and they own congress, so why is anyone wondering what is going on.
What is going on is Nazi Germany all over again and the internet is "Radio Free Europe".
here's my idea: every chance we get, when somebody says vaccines have been proven to be safe, refer to it as "tobacco science"
great term, Jake!
May I suggest doing an end-run around this strategy? If everyone in this community walked into their local public library and requested a book on biomed, or on vaccine problems, the librarians would become aware of this community and their needs. Once the request has been made, come back and ask for the next book and the next. Order medical journal articles via interlibrary loan and explain to the librarian why you are researching the topic. Offer to do a community presentation featuring books in the library collection and telling your own story.
If Sibelius or the AAP or Offit start trying to tell librarians that only one side of the story should be aired...it will only encourage librarians to buy more books and recommend them to more people. We librarians hate censorship!
I've wondered what kind of missives have gone out from DHHS and CDC warning media away from covering vaccine injury reports and safety concerns.
I suspect some of the faux consumer groups are getting to state and local media, as well. From what I've heard, newspaper and TV rationalize their inaction by stating with pride that they're not alarming the public. Instead their inaction gives implicit consent to the ongoing damage.
I think Justice Potter said it best.
"Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself."
Potter Stewart
Thou shall not steal.
Yet billions of taxpayer dollars have been stolen from the Treasury for SARS, Bird Flu and now H1N1.
Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Yet HHS officials falsely compare present day to 1918 to assist this theft, knowing that penicillin had not been discovered in 1918.
Excellent report. Sigh. I wish it wasn't true. I remember when Sebelius said the governement had "no idea" what could be causing the rise in autism.
Here's a hint: in you're own way, you are, Kathleen.
She stepped into the tangled web created by those who went before her. Clearly, though, she's a tool who has decided to embrace the lie. It reminds me of John Malkovich in "Dangerous Liaisons"...repeating over and over again the pitiful refrain, "It's beyond my control" as he destroyed the lives around him, and his own soul.
Message to Secretary Sebelius: Regardless of your censorship efforts, the lie will be exposed, and if you are on the wrong side of it you will be FOREVER unelectable. Sleep tight.
The HHS would not want the public to lose confidence in their 36 shot, we have "no clue what causes Autism," / liability free... vaccine program.
They also would not want the public to lose confidence with various "shit on the children" secret vaccine meetings, and their world class safety studies of vaccines, supported be the pathetic epidemiology of some fine data from bankrupt HMO's.
The government is equally if not more culpable for this disaster. Naturally they want to control the message.
Their egregious mistake of partnering with the medical community and the pharmaceutical industry in what they believed was an effort to protect the people has actually been perhaps the most unfortunate example of how that partnership has harmed the people instead.
Their lack of foresight to predict the potential danger, corruption, and bias of such an alliance is directly responsible for the damage of a generation. They have no more right to decide their culpability or role in this mess than the medical or pharmaceutical industry.
We the victims have lost the support of our medical community and our government in the pursuit of truth and justice, and now it appears (as it has for a long time), our media. What a tragic day when all of the checks and balances that are supposed to be in place to remain a country of the people, for the people, and by the people prove to be non-existent.
Thank God for the internet.
Censorship is fundamental to the vaccine issue - journalists are perpetually menaced over moral responsibility for disrupting the vaccine programme - and latterly they have largely put up the white flag. They have been persuaded that it is somehow unlike other issues of public safety, and they now seem dead to possibility that such institutional bullying must ultimately warp the conduct of science and medicine, or that the danger of not reporting is that it may also put the public at hazard.
In the UK last year a radio broadcaster, Jeni Barnett, was censured by a group of Members of Parliament, predominantly so-called Liberal-Democrats, after she questioned MMR on the air, and the radio station brow-beaten into removing her broadcast from their website. Journalist don't dare speak, partly because the editors won't back them, and they will be hauled over the coals if they make the most microscopic error. People are simply being harrased into silence.
Why is the media caving to her requests, instead of laughing in her face? What sort of power does she hold over them?
Who did she work for before?
Amazing story Jake.
What is wrong with Kathleen Sebelius? Since when is censorship the answer to medical problems and concerns? Did she want to ban all media discussion of how the hormone replacement drug caused breast cancer as well. It is astonishing that our public officials are using their powers to stifle free speech in ANY WAY.
Sebelius should be ashamed of herself.
Thanks Jake for excellent writing. Clearly the huge marketing campaign launched by Sebelius and team (NVAC, IACC, etc) to restore public trust in vaccines is not working. In fact, as autism numbers continue to rise without swift action by our government and lack of research funding for epigenetic triggers to autism (vaccines included), the public has become more wary. Often parents outside of our community ask me "what don't they want us to know?" Also, 1 in 4 parents surveyed believe that there is an autism-vaccine link. This does not mean that they believe that 'all' vaccines cause autism in 'all' kids. It means in a subset of children with compromised immune systems, they cannot tolerate the current CDC schedule. You don't have to look far to find a story about parents who witnessed regression in their typically developing infants and toddlers.
"they need to be media watch dogs not lap dogs." Love that, it's so true. They (the major news media) are really letting the children and parents down.
Even with all her "reaching out" to the media, she still couldn't get anyone to take her rotten vaccine. She is a complete joke at this point.
Clear agenda.
The "news" has been relentless this year (starting with Alison Singer December 2008).
Unfortunately, I can't say I'm surprised at this. But, of course, it just brings back my original question from the very beginning after finding out both of my boys were on the "spectrum". If every ingredient in vaccines is so safe and effective, why the push to cover up negative feedback and legitimiate questions or concerns?
I always enjoy your posts, Jake. Is it a certain committee or the senators at large that we need to contact about Ari Ne'eman?
Wow, I hadn't heard about her having said this. Thanks Jake. Just confirms what we have been seeing in the media in the past year. Several years ago when the Hannah Poling ruling came out reporters came out to a local autism school to interview parents of vaccine injured children and they wrote a lovely, two sided article. That would NEVER happen these days. The media has an agenda on this issue, no question about it....and that agenda includes ignoring the eye witness testimony of tens of thousands of parents and counting the discredited Vaerstratten study as proof!

Coldplay broke cover to play a surprise show in a pub in Somerset last night along with the likes of Chas 'n' Dave and Conor Maynard.
The Ring O' Bells in the village of Compton Martin (pop: 508) played host to the mega band, reports Western Daily Press.
A setlist posted on fansite Coldplaying reads as follows: Yellow, Clocks, The Scientist, God Put A Smile Upon My Face, Fix You, Viva La Vida, Charlie Brown, Paradise, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, and Christmas Lights.
The pub is partly owned by Miles Leonard, the chairman of the band's record company, Parlophone who lives in the area. It has previously played host to secret shows by Kylie Minogue and Gabrielle Aplin.
However, not everyone was happy with the annual muso love-in. Western Daily Press quotes one local as saying: "It's just annoying, it's a local pub and we're the ones that keep it going all year round. They do this once a year and we are never invited. So many locals come here and they feel so let down - without us the pub wouldn't still be running anyway.
"It's just a bit gutting that we're stood out in the rain and we can't even go in. It feels like our little local pub is becoming too commercial. I saw Chris Martin leaving earlier - which made my night. He left before 9pm though, which I thought was quite surprising."
Coldplay next play live at Kids Company And Coldplay Present: Under1roof at Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, London on Thursday (December 19), alongside Rizzle Kicks, Dynamo, Lily Allen and David Brent of The Office and his band Foregone Conclusion.

That line where you said that London is a cake is good. Nice imagination. besides try having a cup of coffee more than tea. I ususally have a hot cup of coffee with onion pakodas. Thanks for reminding me through your post.
ok, reading my comment again am cringing with the idiocies of construction. I was on a high. Happy high. I comment again. :)
lol, look at you enjoying snow! :)
I remember winter of 96, when Europe had the biggest snow storm in many years. Woke up at 3 and the darned roads were slippery as hell, husband misses a traffic light and it's a miracle I didn't deliver the son in the car. The place froze. Literally.
heh, sorry for the excess info, the view reminded me of our apartments :)
Beautiful pic. My kid loves talking about snow. The only snow he has seen is the ice in the fridge. :)
It looks so pretty from my safe and warm perch in Northern California. I can almost smell the chai steaming from your cup!
I've heard it's the worst storm in years and years. Be safe and warm.

How can I involve my husband in nurturing our son?
My husband has a much harder time calming our baby than I do -- in spite of many creative and valiant efforts. As a result, I end up nursing and soothing our son more often, which translates into me doing more than my fair share of holding him, putting him to sleep, changing his diapers, playing with him, etc. I know my husband will be a great dad when our child is older, but how can I help him connect with our son on a nurturing level so he can take on some of these everyday tasks now?

I would suggest leaving the two alone together for as long as you can (depending on whether you are breastfeeding or not). As long as you're around, your son will want you, and your husband will feel under observation and not the person in charge. If you're not around, your son will focus all his attention on his dad and your husband will rise up to the challenge. That being said, I have to force myself to leave my husband with the kids. I guess I'm clingy.posted 06/27/2005 by AstridCC
I don't know. I wish I did. It is amazing that you don't feel any resentment. I personally am angry that my husband doesn't do more. It seems like he thinks it is the woman's job to do all of those things and that he doesn't have to help unless he feels like it or unless I tell him to. I don't understand why he can't at least try to anticipate some of the baby's needs and help me out when the baby is crying. I am so angry that he just leaves the hard part of infancy to me and expects to enjoy being a dad later when it is easier. He never volunteers to help. It is like he just thinks that his job is to play with the baby when he feels like it. Unfortunately it is rarely when the baby is bawling. Sorry to vent, but I just think it is very unfair.posted 06/26/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I am having the same problem with my boyfriend when it comes to nurturing our 6 month old son. I have tried everything, but the only thing that seems to keep him trying to soothe our son is when I encourage him and boost his confidence. If you figure out a more effective way to get him more active, please let me know.posted 06/26/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Jessica, I just had a baby boy 16 days ago. I breastfeed also and find myself the one to run to with a fussing baby. My boyfriend is great about changing diapers and changing clothes. My advice, try leaving "bathtime" to daddy, as this can be a very calming time as well (obviously not for all babies). Also, once the baby has calmed after nursing, hand him over to daddy for a gentle burp, and some full tummy snuggles on the couch, or in a favorite chair. One suggestion I have is also to stay away from any habits that may connect his most fussy times with being held by daddy and then handed to mommy to calm and soothe him. If you find he is most irritable after he wakes up (hungry usually) try not to let daddy spend too much time with him, he may catch on that daddy = crying. Try to get in the habit of spending time with daddy when tummy is full and the diaper is fresh. Make daddy time as comfortable and stress free as possible. Of course, do not forget to have lots of hugs and kisses, let dad pace a bouncy walk around the nursery from time to time. And good luck! Best wishes,posted 06/26/2005 by Xena03
Babies are meant to be nurtured more by their mom, at least at first. Breastfeeding, for instance, has calmed and put my babies to sleep on many evenings. As they get older, they'll rely more on dad. Right now, make sure he knows how to change a diaper. I almost never change a diaper when my husband's around--and that's a nice thing to NOT have to do :) Nature makes it so that the mom is more comfortable with the baby at first; dad's time will come, eventually :)posted 06/26/2005 by trishcomic
I know exactly how you feel! My hubby, much to his dismay, has a problem calming our three month old daughter when she is terribly fussy. What I do is suggest to him what works for me while he is holding her so he has the chance to give it a shot. If he's tried several of my suggestions to no avail, I then take her back and calm her down. Once she is calm, I hand her back. Sometimes, I think she just feels his nervousness and frustrations and it prolongs her fussiness. He has many more successes calming her now than he did before and I owe it all to practice!posted 06/26/2005 by PrissyLamb
Jessica, I think this is a REALLY COMMON problem -- in fact, my husband and I were just talking about this tonight! We have a 21-month-old dd and an 11-week-old dd, and I've noticed he is much more involved/connected once baby is older...it just naturally happens that way for him. And, based on conversations I've had with other friends, they've had similar experiences with their husbands. Babies just seem to NEED mom a bit more early on -- due to breast-feeding initially, but then that translates into a closer bond at first. But I'm sure you know all this -- here's some suggestions: 1. Get your husband to give him a bottle -- either pump or give him formula (and use that time to pump). It will help your husband feel more "useful" and he'll get that bonding time. 2. Have your husband "burp" the baby more -- I find that my husband has started to get the "magic touch" with this, and I think he feels better when this happens! 3. Have him rock the baby to sleep -- even if he's watching tv or something, that's still great bonding and it gives you a break. 4. Finally, don't sweat it too much -- this will all change in time. There will come a day (or night!) when you son will DEMAND his daddy -- and mommy simply won't due! Trust me...!posted 06/26/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Hey girl, I'm totally with you. My husband was the same way. So what I did was I made him pick up our son when he cried. Then we placed our son in the baby sling and my husband walked aroound the house and even around the block until the baby calmed down. Then my husband got use to picking him up and not being so uptight and stiff and nervous when holding him. Hopefully this could work for you. Good Luck:)posted 06/26/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one. You are all asking for the answers and I discovered it: It's already in the comments-- and it's definitely not "give them more time together", come on, he's going to get spoiled to you doing all the hard work, which you will do because you love your baby, a little extra "daddy" time is just playtime, so the only way to truly turn the tide (unless you happen to already have an unusually helpful, maternal husband) is to hold back on the one thing that drives him until he starts pitching in...posted 06/26/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
How do you get your husband to help out with the baby? We have a 7 month old,I change her diapers,feed her and put her to bed and clean the house and he gets to play with her. sometimes its overwhelming.I just wish he would help out without me asking.posted 06/26/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

my first commissioned map.
my first commissioned map.
Thanks for sharing Davros! It looks pretty good I think. The symbols are a bit basic, but work well together.
One thing I noticed: to the north there's a cloud of smoke coming from a volcano/mountain. Some of the tree trunks seem to be on top of it.
Also, why did you use a different color for the mountains to the northwest?
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
thanks for pointing out the trees and the volcanos, i'll fix those. The symbol set was one he liked, and it does seem to work together i think. The mountains were specifiedt that they were grey. I enjoyed working on the map. Hopefully his group likes iit.
Nice map. I think I may steal the name "Sunset Ocean" for one of my worlds, if you don't mind! - There are two weird rivers on the western peninsula, they seem to just "disappear" and go nowhere. Is this intentional? The river in the NE corner runs "through" a mountain - I am guessing this is an underground river?
Anyway! No biggie, but in case those are not intended, I thought I'd point them out. (polishes River Police badge.)
I don't have a problem with you using any of the names, but they really aren't mine, they are the guy i'm doing this for. But I don't think he would have a problem with it. Do all rivers have to end in lakes or at the oceans?? I went ahead and added lakes to the ends of them. I thought maybe they could just peter out. thx,
Most rivers end in the sea, and probably over 99.9% end in a sea or lake (or another river). A few rivers do "peter out," for example the Okavango River in Africa. Apparently it used to end in a lake, but the lake dried up due to changing climate resulting in desertification. See this thread for some excellent river advice.
Visit Tornalia (it's beautiful this time of year)
It's simple, but I like it. The one issue I saw that could use fixing is "Man's Road", where the "M" and "a" overlap.

Henry Kremers was born on
July 15th 1850 in Drenthe, Michigan, the oldest child of Willem Kremers and Anna Heins,
both of whom had been born in the Netherlands, Willem in Drenthe, and Anna in Beylen.
Willem was one of the original 47 settlers of Holland with A.C. VanRaalte in 1847.
Henry Kremers received his M.D. from the University of
Michigan Medical School in 1876 after two years of attendance. On May 1, 1877 he married
Alice Van Zwaluwenberg, the oldest child of Reyer Van Zwaluenberg and Sarah Kools. They
had five sons, William, Robert, Edward, Clarence, and Ernest, who all excelled in their
own rights.
Dr. Kremers had moved with his family to Holland in 1882
from Drenthe, where he had his first medical practice shortly following graduation. By
1888 he was well established as a prominent citizen. As one of the most respected
physicians in Holland, Henry owned his own pharmacy on 8th Street where the name
"Herold and Kremers" can still be seen engraved above a door near Alpenrose
Restaurant. He was a very devoted practitioner who was involved in medical issues. He
traveled the country to attend medical conventions. Many persons in his family followed
him into the medical field. He practiced medicine from 1880 until his death.
In addition to his life as a surgeon he also was an
influential businessman and politician. The list of occupations and affiliations of Dr.
Kremers was immense. It included: member of the Ottawa County Medical Society, President
of the Board of Education, Surgeon for the Pere Marquette Railroad, Director of a Bank,
Board of a Sugar Company, and Organizer of Holland Furnace Company among others.
In 1889 he ran for and won the mayoral election. In his
inaugural address he emphasized low taxes for businesses and homes, the removal of
barriers to trade, the need for proper sewers, and the inalienable rights of man
guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution.
It was in this election year that he commissioned George
Dalman to build a suitable house for such a prominent man as himself. Completed in 1889,
Mr. Kremers' home on the corner of 12th and Central was, and still is one of the most
magnificent structures in Holland. After Dr. Kremers' death the house became the City
Hospital in 1919. For a few years the house belonged to the Knickerbocker Fraternity. The
Netherlands Museum took over the premises in 1940 and remains there to this day. The house
was registered as an official state historic site in 1985.
In 1910 or 1911 Dr. Kremers ran on the State Democratic
ticket for the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan and was defeated. He was
later appointed Ambassador to the Netherlands, which ruined him financially.
His son Ernest described him as "clear-minded but not
sharp witted. He liked to dress well but was not dashing. And he was neither wild nor
He was known for his love of dogs, love of University of
Michigan Football (at least one child attended the University from 1895 to 1912, and
Ernest played on the team in 1904), and his good nature in providing medical service for
the poor and for Civil War veterans. He died on his 64th birthday, July 15, 1914 in
Holland, Michigan.

The economy has been declining, however, because of disputes with Canada over fishing quotas and a steady decline in the number of ships stopping at Saint Pierre. In 1992, an arbitration panel awarded the islands an exclusive economic zone of 12,348 sq km to settle a longstanding territorial dispute with Canada, although it represents only 25% of what France had sought. France heavily subsidizes the islands to the great betterment of living standards. The government hopes an expansion of tourism will boost economic prospects. Fish farming, crab fishing, and agriculture are being developed to diversify the local economy. Recent test drilling for oil may pave the way for development of the energy sector.

Wednesday's Men's NCAA Tournament Capsules
Thursday, March 17, 2011
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Shot by shot, Melvin Johnson III played up to his penmanship.
The smooth guard with "SWISH" scrawled on the side of each orange shoe scored a career-high 29 points Wednesday night, putting on the most scintillating show so far in the NCAA tournament while leading Texas-San Antonio to a 70-61 victory over Alabama State in the "First Four" round.
The Roadrunners (20-13) and their smooth guard head to Cleveland for a game Friday against top-seeded Ohio State, which won't allow all those open shots.
Against Alabama State (17-18), Johnson took advantage of every one. The 6-foot-5 sophomore had a career high in the first half alone, when he outscored the star-struck Hornets 25-21.
Tramayne Moorer and Jeff Middlebrooks had 12 points apiece for Alabama State, which had the worst record in the expanded 68-team tournament.
Jamie Skeen scored 16 points and Virginia Commonwealth more than held its own inside against bigger and stronger Southern California to beat the Trojans in the finale of the NCAA's inaugural "First Four" tournament games at the University of Dayton Arena.
The 11th-seeded teams traded elbows and punishing defense all night, with the Rams (24-11) pulling away down the stretch to earn the chance to face sixth-seeded Georgetown (21-10) on Friday in Chicago.
Joey Rodriguez had eight points and five assists for VCU. Jio Fontan had 14 points and Nikola Vucevic 11 for USC (19-15), which had just one made field goal over the final 9 minutes.

Anton Chekhov begins his classic 1889 tale "The Bet" with the recollection of an argument that took place 15 years earlier at a party of the self-ordained intelligentsia. The argument - so familiar to our own time - was about the moral legitimacy of capital punishment. While most of the party agreed that capital punishment was inhumane, a middle-aged banker held that it was far more humane than life imprisonment. When a young lawyer disagreed, the bet was on: If the lawyer will spend 15 years in solitary confinement, the banker will give him a large sum of money. Fifteen years on, who will win? As performed by the popular Walter Zimmerman, "The Bet" is a hilarious look at principle, moral value, and the tyranny of caprice.

I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Pretty good Chekhov Short Story"
Although this is not a great story, this is solidly good Chekhov with solidly good narration. Chekhov is my favorite short story writer, yet this in not one of my favorite stories; nevertheless it is clearly worth the twenty minutes and one dollar.
Remarkable short story having to do with - on less than - the real meaning
of life. Thought provoking.

Work on the establishment of the long awaited agricultural bank is now at final stage, Agriculture Food Security and Cooperatives ministry has said.
Speaking recently to representatives of small scale farmers' network (Mviwata) in Dar es Salaam, Acting Permanent Secretary in the ministry Emmanuel Achayo, said preparations are at an advanced stage and the bank would start operations later next year.
Achayo was responding to a question posed by Elias Kawea, a farmer from Dodoma Region, who had wanted to know the latest stage in the setting up of the bank.
"What I understand now is that preparations for the establishment of the bank are at final stage, you will be notified more later," he briefly told the farmers.
Kawea noted that the government was taking too long to set up the bank.
"We the small scale farmers will continue to face difficulties when accessing loans from commercial banks, which tend to complicate procedures before they issue the loans," he said.
He said as farmers they still need to be convinced that commercial banks can offer solutions to agricultural problems.
"We really need banks that will offer us long-term loans to procure modern farming equipment," he said.
Habib Simbamkuti urged the government to increase its funding to the sector saying the bank would help improve agriculture.
"The government should in the coming budget increase its funding at least to ten percent to the agricultural sector," he said.
Notable changes have been witnessed in other countries in Africa which have already increased their budget in agriculture, he said.
Experts however say the number of commercial banks that offer loans to farmers is on the increase, but see the trend as not being sustainable.
In early September last year, the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) invited bidders to express interest for carrying out feasibility study on the establishment of an agricultural development bank in Tanzania.
According to an agriculture working group under the Tanzania National Business Council (TNBC), an initial capital of 660bn/- would be required to have the financial institution kick started.
It is expected that the private sector might be co-opted to provide additional funding to the project through government guaranteed long-term bonds.
The growth and development shortcomings of the agricultural sector in Tanzania are attributed to lack of cheap and long-term loans to peasants that make 80 per cent of the country's population.
