CFP: Historical Catharsis and Family Genealogy in African and African Diaspora Literature (6/30/06; anthology)
full name / name of organization:
contact email:
Book project:
The desire for a cathartic escape from a repressive past into an autonomous and democratic future has been the cornerstone of most political agendas informing African and African Diaspora liberation struggles, from the peaceful to the more violent ones. The paradigm of overcoming the socioeconomic and psychological wounds generated by the experience of colonialism and/or state violence so as to reconnect with a pre-colonial past or to altogether emerge as a self-directed free subject, has been challenged by literary engagements with the traumatic histories. Often these literary texts center on uncovering obscure family genealogies. In doing so, they cast doubt on the individual or cultural ability to purge the influences of past violence from present historical consciousness. Moreover, they question the ethics of such purging by evoking an awareness of the violent repercussions of previous attempts to produce historical "clean slates."
This collection invites paper proposals that focus on the evocation of family genealogies in African and African Diaspora Literature. Sub-themes may include but are not limited to
1. family genealogies and upward mobility
Please note that preference will be given to paper proposals that address the engagement of African and African Diaspora literature with genealogical investigation. The goal is to explore how family genealogies challenge normative conceptions of "the past" on which narratives of catharsis depend, and thus also question the notion that one can free oneself of it by means of a "cathartic" experience.
Please forward your questions and/or one-page paper proposals along with a brief CV to Yianna Liatsos yianna_at_ou.edu by June 30th 2006. Please indicate the title, name and affiliation of the author. You will be notified by the end of July if your proposal has been selected for the collection. Completed papers, not to exceed forty pages, will be due June 30th, 2007. Independent scholars in the field of African and African Diaspora Literature will referee the essays.

An international team of scientists belonging to The Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium (PGSC), including New Zealand's Plant & Food Research have released the first draft sequence of the potato genome, after starting work on the project three years ago. The resulting blueprint that details how the potato works, may lead to the revolutionizing of breeding programmes.
A key member of the Solanaceae family, the potato is closely related to tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, including being the world's third most important crop and the most important vegetable crop. Getting access to the potato genome sequence i. e. the genetic blueprint of how a potato plant grows and reproduces, will assist potato scientists in improving potato yields, quality, nutritional value and disease resistance varieties of the vegetable. More importantly, it will permit potato breeders to reduce the current 10-12 years required for breeding new varieties.
The Plant Breeding Department of Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands initiated the PGSC in January 2006, which has developed into a global consortium of research groups from 14-countries.
New Zealand's Plant & Food Research is an original partner in the PGSC and its leader Dr Jeanne Jacobs, also a member of the PGSC steering committee says, the genome sequencing will benefit New Zealand, even as scientists learn about genetic control of important attributes like disease resistance, nutritional value, colour and flavour.

Features April 2014 Issue
Beaming Down Satcom Surgeons
Sailors benefit from rising interest in telemedicine services.
Telemedicine, the ability to remotely treat patients in far-flung corners of the world, was still in its infancy in 1998 when it was put to a highly publicized test aboard a storm-tossed sailboat in the Southern Ocean.
Russian competitive sailor Viktor Yazykov was participating in the solo Around Alone Race. His boat was about 900 miles below the tip of South Africa when his rig began falling apart. While Yazykov was repairing a broken shroud, an elbow he had injured earlier in the race grew inflamed with infection.
Yazykov knew he needed to take quick action. He contacted race officials, who relayed his message to Dr. Daniel Carlin, a former U.S. Navy physician who two years earlier had founded Voyager Medicine to remotely treat ships crews.
Carlin emailed Yazykov specific instructions via Inmarsat C satellite, but delays in this form of communication nearly cost Yazykov his life. On the brink of collapse, Yazykov followed Carlin�s instructions. He lanced the pus-filled abscesses on his arm, and then treated the bleeding. A new approach to offshore medicine was born.
Sixteen years later, telemedicine is an essential part of offshore racing. It�s also quicker. In the 2010 Velux 5 Oceans race, a similar service, Medical Support Offshore, based in the United Kingdom, offered assistance to Polish sailor Zbigniew �Gutek� Gutkowski after he sliced his head on his wind generator. Thankfully, prior to the race, doctors from Medical Support had trained Gutkowski how to handle just such an emergency.
Today, Carlin operates WorldClinic, a company based in New London, N.H., that provides clients around the globe with emergency telemedicine services. Telemedicine is not just for emergencies in faraway countries. Domestic demand for remote monitoring services is prompting a range of new technologies, many of which can benefit cruising sailors.
The establishment of clinics in rural regions that lack doctors and hospitals has become a driving force in the growth of telemedicine. The field is often referred to as tele-health or e-health when applied to non-emergency purposes.
Telemedicine is more than just an ability to call a doctor for advice. New technology has made it possible for medical professionals to use sophisticated instruments to monitor the health of their patients from a distance, in many cases, hundreds of miles. Tele-health services serve sparsely settled regions of the Midwest, northern Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and other states bordering Canada, as well as in prisons and areas populated by migrant farm workers.
Remote sensing devices, often located in a patient�s home, can record blood pressure, heart rate, glucose levels, and other health indicators, while Web cameras linked to high-speed networks provide a real-time view. This �tele-presence� works best when a high-speed fiber-optic cable carries the video and data signals, but increasingly, these devices are being employed at sea via satellite, with some limitations.
What does this mean for cruising sailors? Many cruisers are older, more vulnerable to injury or tropical illness that might be a mere nuisance to a younger sailor. Some suffer chronic illnesses�such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or Parkinson�s disease�that require monitoring. In a nutshell, telemedicine offers cruisers a safety net that didn�t exist a few decades ago.

First NightIt's always the same; it will never change.Propaganda flung up on the walls about God and the Angel."Obey, or be punished."It made me go into solitary, into the highest point, of the highest tower; made of steel it watches over the village
I would wake up, look out the window, get dressed, and then start my day.Alone.Id do it all on my own, my God was never home, never by my side.I don't mind, after all he saved my life.Dining for one, table for two.Id set it each morning, putting a single flower in the middle, a white one.It added the slightest bit of colour to this place. It was new, and cold.No life inside, only an empty girl's heart.What was strange though was the relationship she held with this man, this God as the village calls him.He would crawl into her bed on the worst of nights and hold her till she fell asleep, when she woke up, he was never there.Perhaps it was a friendly gesture that kept her her from insanity.The loneliness in her heart she felt was no

RUMOR: BioShock 2 Heading to the PS3
There's a rumor making the rounds that BioShock 2 may be released for the PS3 and possibly the Wii.
2K Marin has put out job postings for developers with PlayStation 3 experience required.
BioShock 2 was confirmed in March, along with the announcement that the new 2K Marin studio would take on the challenge of creating a game to equal or best its predecessor with the guidance of Ken Levine. No platforms were confirmed in the announcement although it's a fare bet that the Xbox 360 and PC can look forward to the game.
I'd like to think that PS3 and Wii users will have the chance to play BioShock 2. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anywhere specifically in the job postings that specifically said the the positions being filled were to dedicated to working on the game. At this time 2K Games hasn't made itself available to confirm or deny the rumor.
BioShock 2 is slated for release sometime between August and October 2009.

What is the consistent, patterned fluttering in my abdomen at 7 weeks?
I can feel and see the "ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom" flutters. I can feel it strongest right above my belly button but I can also feel it a little fainter down where my uterus is located. It's been off an on for a while and now it has consistently been doing it today. My husband put his hand on my stomach and could feel it too. We timed it with my heart and it's not my heart beat. I read it could be gas but is it normal for gas to be like a fairly consistent "heart beat" like gently pounding down there? Is it a muscle spasm?

The two eventually got into a struggle and Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest with his 9mm handgun. He was charged 44 days after the shooting, only after a special prosecutor was appointed to review the case and after protests.
"I ask that you pray for me and my family because I don't want any other mothers to have to experience what I'm going through now," said Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, shortly before the start of opening statements.
Two police dispatch phone calls will be important evidence for both sides' cases.
The first is a call Zimmerman made to a nonemergency police dispatcher as he followed Martin walking through his gated community. At one point, the dispatcher tells Zimmerman he doesn't need to be following Martin.
The second 911 call captures screams from the confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin. Martin's parents said the screams are from their son while Zimmerman's father contends they belong to his son.
Nelson ruled last weekend that audio experts for the prosecution won't be able to testify that the screams belong to Martin, saying the methods the experts used were unreliable.

As the anti-Qaddafi Libyan rebels were fighting for control over Tripoli, U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford stopped by the restless Syrian town of Jassem for a surprise visit and show of support days after President Obama called for Syrian President Bashar al-Asad to step down. "We have consistently said that President Asad must lead a democratic transition or get out of the way. He has not led. For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Asad to step aside," Obama said on Thursday.
Meanwhile, a UN team arrived in Syria on Saturday after finally receiving permission to access the country since its initial request in May. The team, in Syria until Thursday, will visit towns to "assess the humanitarian situation and condition of basic social services and identify initial assistance needs that could be addressed through a rapid response," according to one UN official.
The UN Human Rights Council's special session on the situation in Syria in Geneva on Aug. 22.
As the Libyan rebels move closer and closer to taking Tripoli on Tuesday, it is uncertain at this point what is to come of the Syrian revolt. President Bashar al-Asad has proven his ruthlessness, and there's no reason to expect that his regime's killing spree will let up any time soon, even with the UN in town this week. Indeed, the future of Syria and the Syrian people hangs in the balance.

Excellent even on damaged skin

My daughter's allergic eczema is severe, and she's so sensitive to products on her skin. Often she damages her skin from scratching, and water and creams sting a lot. This oil is great - very healing, and it never hurts at all, even on damaged skin. Can't buy enough of it!

Great on eczema!
Posted by Reviewer2923547 on May 25, 2007
My daughter has suffered from eczema all her life and I've had her try just about everything under the sun but nothing really relieved her from her skin condition. That is, until she's tried this product. It has really done wonders for her skin. It's no longer dry, cracked and irritated. She finally has smooth skin and is sooo happy to have this product. She's no longer self-conscience about her skin condition :-)

Review: Between the Buried and Me – The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues
David McKenna | Apr 11, 2011 | Comments 1 | Tags: Between the Buried and Me
Between the Buried and Me aren't a band that will soon be accused of pandering to a scene or playing it safe with their music. On their first EP, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues, the North Carolina prog-metal quintet attempt to set their own progressive bar even higher with a 30-minute concept record—and Part 1 in a two-part conceptual suite—about a couple of people separated in space-time, whose decisions "will change their lives, and perhaps the course of the universe," as the band describes it.
In a nutshell, The Parallax is heavier than previous BTBAM releases, but pigeonholing this music would be unfair and inaccurate. The first track, "Specular Reflection," features a catchy, clean-sung chorus that is borderline poppy, in addition to heavy chromatic guitar riffs and spacey synth lines. Frontman Tommy Rodgers' vocals run the gamut as usual, and his melodic singing sounds even better than ever. The second track, "Augment of Rebirth," is an example of the band's technical chops and intense heaviness. Odd-metered riffs, blast beats, sweeping arpeggios, and accordion-playing (for good measure) ensue. The EP's final track, "Lunar Wilderness," features the band's more introspective, thoughtful side, with soft atmospheric sections, jazzy soloing, and a choir-like outro, in addition to frenzied heaviness.
While some deemed BTBAM's last full-length, 2009's The Great Misdirect, too ambitious, even discursive in its progressive mix, The Parallax flows more naturally. The tracks complement each other and build a cohesive piece of art. Between the Buried and Me are on a level of songwriting skill that few bands can hope to reach, and their new EP epitomizes the band's talent. DAVID McKENNA

Animal health is an important factor in food safety because some diseases, the so-called zoonoses such as brucellosis, salmonellosis and listeriosis, can be transmitted to humans in particular through contaminated food. Community legislation on animal health covers certain zoonotic animal diseases, which can be transferred to humans via foodstuffs (such as brucellosis and tuberculosis within Council Directive 64/432/EEC or Council Directive 91/68/EEC). Specific measures against zoonoses exist in Community legislation relating to Veterinary Public Health. For instance, rules concerning the brucellosis and tuberculosis status of holdings for milk production are laid down in Council Directive 92/46/EEC and measures to inspect meat for the presence of parasites such as Cysticercus and Trichinella are included in the legislation concerning meat hygiene (Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, No 854/2004 and No 2075/2005).
In the White Paper on Food Safety the Commission announced a revision of this Directive on the basis of scientific advice. The Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures relating to Public Health published an opinion on food-borne zoonoses on 12 April 2000. Two major proposals to review current legislation were adopted on 29th September 2003. These proposals, designed to cut the incidence of food borne diseases such as salmonella in the European Union, comprise:
- Regulation (EC) 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents
- Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Council Decision 90/424/EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/117/EEC
In order to prepare implementation of the new zoonoses legislation and/or to implement it, actions and legislation have been initiated.
Implementation of the Directive
Implementation of and amendments to the Regulation
Antimicrobial resistance
Other legislative and training activities

The Idaho Statesman obtained the breakdown of Chris Petersen's re-worked contract with Boise State. In a nutshell, he's still incredibly underpaid but it appears the Broncos are at least attempting to allow themselves some notice should their head coach eventually leave.
In terms of salary, Boise's bargain totals a little over $11.7 million for five years. He earns the typical APR bonuses and licensing payments in addition to on-field escalators:
As before, the contract is extended by a year each time the Broncos win eight games. It currently runs from Feb. 1, 2012, to Jan. 31, 2017. The performance bonus is $80,000 for winning a conference championship or reaching a conference championship game; or $35,000 for a bowl appearance; or $150,000 for a BCS appearance; or $250,000 for a national championship game appearance.
Eight games and Petersen snares an additional year. That's March Madness-level productivity at the office for the offensive savant. In essence, the contract offers a lifetime opportunity for Petersen, one that Boise State surely hopes he fulfills. The Broncos enter the Big East in 2013 but like the WAC and Mountain West, they'll remain the premier football program in the conference.
It's that quarter of a million dollar bonus that eats at Petersen. Not for the money but the chances grasped and dropped in a seemingly annual array of kicking mishaps.
There's no indication that automatic qualifiers will exist in the looming restructuring of college football's postseason. Blue blood programs in traditional conferences likely become larger beneficiaries because they sell out stadiums and drive television ratings. All that said, Boise State has made an indention in the national psyche of college football voters but it would behoove the Broncos to force their way into a BCS title game in 2012 or 2013. Oh, and they just lost a 50-game winner under center.
And before the sports contrarian wandering around the internet looking for the next chemistry professor to defend gets angry, Petersen's compensation comes from athletic revenues, not state funds.
But most important to athletic directors nationwide and frightening to Broncos supporters are Petersen's exit details. Thus far, his tenure in Boise has produced innumerable suitors and myriad rejections. UCLA tried as recently as this winter and the sunny skies of Los Angeles coupled with $4 million in salary weren't enough to entice the head coach with a 73-6 record.
Petersen's buyout is $750,000. The school's buyout of Petersen is $250,000 per year left on the deal, plus any guaranteed money left in the deal, plus the pro-rated amount of his longevity incentive for the year he was fired. If Petersen leaves, he must do so after the end of the season, including a bowl game. The buyout applies to three kinds of jobs: FBS head coach, assistant coach at a school in Boise State's conference or a conference Boise State has contractually agreed to join; or NFL head coach…Petersen must provide written (or e-mail) notice at least 24 hours before interviewing for a coaching job at another college or with a professional team.
Should he bolt from Boise State, $750,000 is what big money boosters carry around to pay tolls at traditional powerhouses. That number won't stop a soul.
The second sentence though intrigues me more. Petersen agreed to finish every Broncos season, including the bowl appearance. When a Michigan or Texas or Florida comes open, the athletic director at that campus receives interest, he doesn't need to broach it. He'd also like to fill the position quickly and Petersen's contract forces pursuing parties to wait, perhaps as long as a month. To get their top target that's not terribly long but it might hinder a recruiting class, the life blood of college programs.
Also, Petersen is required to give a day's notice to the school before interviewing. With Petersen's track record, interviews really aren't necessary. "Do you want the job and is there a number we can get to so you'll take it?" That's all that needs to be asked. It can be done via telephone and by a intermediary to keep Petersen from contacting Boise. Because once he does that, the Broncos PR machine engages spin mode and leaks whatever details to the media that they believe might keep their savior in blue and orange.
Like many, I've been surprised by Petersen's loyalty. I thought eventually the allure of a larger program with better facilities, a substantially more lucrative TV deal, richer recruiting base, name brand and lack of national title obstacles would lure him out of Idaho. He's maintained his happiness through public statements of affirmation and by declining job offers.
Still, I don't think Chris Petersen retires in Boise.
His new contract, a move to the Big East and the commitment by the Broncos to continually upgrade their facilities means quality of life and the quality of the gig currently meet his every need.
But Mack Brown won't stay in Austin forever. Joe Jamail has $750,000 lying around in a couch somewhere. He could throw a rock on the 40 Acres and hit more 4-star prospects than he recruits in Idaho.
Does Petersen see the end of his enhanced deal in Boise?
Finding a way to snag a national title before 2014 might be the only deterrent.

As a result of said retreat we went to Beigeland - I was wearing, beige jumper, brown trousers, faune coat, but I did have a pair of black gloves with large purple spots. That's what I'm embarassed about Going around thinking - oh know i'm beige in beigeland
Did buy a plant off list, but not the one they had in last week that I thought I would leave until today
Shame on you BJay. You should at least have worn a red hat to clash with your purple gloves .
Are you sure that singer wasn't Bunny - haven't seen her for a while
I trust you went through the self checkout Bjay-without prompting?
No Bunny has red hair.
No, did hold queue up though - couldn't find the right store card- then couldn't get bank card out of purse Didn't realise till you said that it all adds up to wearing beige
I will not do it again
Ad infinitum

On of the great advantages of on-line shopping is not having to be in a queue standing behind someone like that.
Did you stand in an aisle blocking it??-or stood there talking to people??
No but OH was behind me going TUT, TUT and generally giving off disapproving vibes
Good idea - havng a decoy shopper just behind you - to divert the flack coming from following shoppers.
Then when you got to the car- tapping all pockets for the keys?
As long as he wasn't cheer-leading the mob!!!
Too b***** cold to pratt around on a car park doing that. Straight into car, but then OH had keys.
Hello Dean
Anyone ever grown Mina Lobata - a fellow forker gave me some seeds, Then Discovered I took a photo a couple of years ago of a strange plant at some garden or other, which is this Mina Stobata.
So have sown seeds. Really quick germination but was wondering if it is going to perform like Morning Glory or take over the garden
Now extra embarassment correct about car colour Geoff Not make and model though
I actually drive a Metro
Thanks for all your kind words about Jess's mutant hat! She came second! A bag of mini eggs.
I would love to have seen your face Bjay when the penny dropped.
Just catching up with the posts. Geoff love the cartoon! Hope you find your diamond Sue. It may well just turn up when you're not really looking. It's not really the same if you have to replace it. My sister managed to lose my late Mum's diamond ring after making a huge fuss about having it. Perhaps if she tidied her house though... Had sausage casserole for tea last night and there's enough left for tonight- hurray Apple crumble sounds good !

Offer period for acquisition of TNT Express by UPS is extended
July 16, 2012
Following the March announcement by UPS that it planned to acquire Netherlands-based TNT NV, a provider of mail and courier services and the fourth largest global parcel operator for $6.28 billion, the company commenced an offer period on June 22 that was slated to run through August 31.
But late last week UPS said that the European Commission's review of the proposed acquisition is now expected to move to a "Phase II review," because there are facets of the deal that require more time to analyze.
UPS officials said a Phase II investigation can take up to 25 weeks to complete, adding that it is likely the offer condition relating to competition clearance will not be satisfied by the end of the initial offer period. Because of this, the company said it now expects the deal to be completed during the fourth quarter of this year.
UPS and TNT said that this "transaction will create a global leader in the logistics industry with more than $60 billion in annual revenues and an enhanced, integrated global network."
The joint synergies expected to result from this deal, according to UPS and TNT include:
-the complementary strengths of both organizations creating a customer-focused global platform that will be a leader in transportation technology and customer service;
-TNT Express customers benefiting from UPS's unparalleled access to the North American market as well as access to its logistics solutions, such as global freight forwarding and distribution capabilities; and
-UPS customers will benefit from access to expanded express and road freight capabilities in Europe and broader capabilities in fast-growing regions such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
"We intend to leverage the strengths of both companies to enhance the combined growth portfolio and believe all stakeholders will benefit," said UPS Chairman and CEO Scott Davis on an investor call in March. "UPS possesses a large U.S. presence, as well as experience in global supply chain management. TNT Express provides additional small package access points in Europe, the most extensive European express road network, and an expanding presence in emerging markets."
Davis said this combined entity will provide an expanded geographic reach with a broader service offering for its combined customers. And he stressed that both organizations have a strong cultural fit, with strong focuses on customer service, and operational excellence.
Over the years, TNT has grown into a highly respected $7.25 billion euro company with diverse revenue streams from around the world with operations in more than 200 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America, said UPS CFO Kurt Kuehn on the March investor call. And he added TNT has a substantial group of assets, including aircraft, vehicles, hubs, and depots, which cumulatively account for about 1 million deliveries per day handled by its 77,000 employees. IN 2011, TNT had a net loss of $270 million euro and $7.2 billion euro in revenue.
And according to UPS estimates about 23 percent of TNT Express's Europe revenues are from its express road freight operations, which Kuehn described as an important and vital part of its business and a real differentiator.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Walt Weiss has played in hundreds of spring training games. He attended one last year with part of his Regis High School team. Saturday will be different. It will be the first time he walks onto the field as the Rockies manager.
"There's anticipation, sure. It will be special," said Weiss, who is likely to save a lineup card from the opener against the Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields. "I am looking forward to it."
Weiss has been consistent in his message this month to his players. Be aggressive.
"Regardless of what sport you play, it's hard to be successful at the elite level without being aggressive," said Weiss following Friday's scrimmage. "It's a mindset we need to have. We have to take advantage of our home field, and win around 50 games there for us to have a chance to win the division."
Left-hander Drew Pomeranz will start opposite Arizona's Tyler Skaggs in a game that was nearly sold out as of Friday afternoon. The Rockies' lineup features several regulars: CF Dexter Fowler, 2B Josh Rutledge, LF Carlos Gonzalez, SS Troy Tulowitzki, 1B Michael Cuddyer, C Wilin Rosario, RF Tyler Colvin, DH Jordan Pacheco, 3B Chris Nelson.
Tulowitzki will play his first game since sustaining a left-groin injury on May 30.
"I am anxious to get back out there even if it's just for one at-bat and three innings. It's all part of making progress toward opening day," Tulowitzki said. "Our lineup, you look around the league and don't see many like it. We have numerous guys who can hit 30 homers with a high average."

First map done in Photoshop after moving from Gimp and using a Wacom5 touch large tablet.
The idea was is to mislead treasure hunters deep into the wilderness when in fact if they understood the riddle and folded the map overlapping the faces, they would find the treasure no so very far away.
This was done for a challenge but I forgot to move it over to the finished area so here it is. The WIP thread is here for those interested.
Below is the full map as well as what it should look like when folded upon itself.

The least powerful tornado is rated a 1 The most powerful tornado is a 5. Types of Damage: Types of Damage Tornadoes can destroy buildings, bridges and anything in its path. Other effects include: Flooding Fire Hail damage Wind damage, winds can reach 140 mph Tornado's Predictability: Tornado's Predictability You can't always predict if a tornado is going to turn or if it is going to disappear, but you sometimes can. Forecasters use satellites, weather stations, balloons, airplanes, wind profilers and radar. Forecasters have to analyze location, strength, movement of weather fronts, temperature and moisture. Weather Conditions That Might Indicate Tornado Formation : Weather Conditions That Might Indicate Tornado Formation If you see a funnel cloud forming A greenish-black color to the sky. A strange quiet that occurs within or shortly after a thunderstorm. Clouds moving very fast and converging toward one area of the sky. Debris dropping from the sky If there is a weather warning or tornado watch on the news Safety Precautions for a Tornado: Safety Precautions for a Tornado Recommendations for surviving a tornado include: Go to your basement, if there is a bathroom down there, then you should go in it. If you do not have a basement, go to the smallest interior room, preferably a bathroom. Cover yourself with blankets to protect yourself from debris. Have a disaster supply kit in your home that includes bottled water, perishable food, a flashlight, sturdy shoes & gloves and instructions to turn off the utilities.

What's the best way to capture the spiraling descent of a teenage starlet? Produce her rap album. Duh.
27-year-old rapper Waka Flocka Flame is working out a record deal with Amanda Bynes says the New York Daily News and TMZ. Apparently he already has people set up to start writing lyrics for the ex-movie star. "The deal hasn't been signed yet but it's basically in the bag," Flocka told TMZ. He also said he has been in contact with her everyday through FaceTime and text to talk about the album (which supposedly will be called Shots) as well as "keeping her head up from the haters."
Bynes has been going through a month long meltdown, the trigger of which seems to be her arrest in May for reckless endangerment. It's a bit frightening, but we'll see if her switch into the music industry catapults her farther or serves as a rescue.
The album doesn't have a release date set, but Flocka is confident it will all work out well. "She has it all together to me," he said. "She is cool as hell and ready for the rap world. I think she is going to kill the game."
We're taking bets on whether or not she kills it in a good way.

Director Brad Anderson is looking to rebound from the debacle that was his last movie, Vanishing on 7th Street — which only made a measly $22,729 at the domestic box office — by taking the helm of Troika Pictures' thriller The Hive from outgoing director Joel Schumacher.
Written by Richard D'Ovidio (Exit Wounds), the movie is described as a "fast-paced suspense pic" about "a 911 operator who who must face her own fears in order to save a teenage girl from a serial killer."
In a statement, Anderson said that he is "extremely excited" to be working on The Hive for Troika because of the great script.
This script has two elements I always look for in a thriller — strong, believable female characters and a smart, very dark and very creepy story that will definitely resonate with large audiences.
The Hive is scheduled to go into production in the spring. Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry (Monster's Ball) was initially attached to play the role of the 911 operator, but she dropped out over scheduling issues. Variety reports that "several top actresses" are interested in the part.

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release

ROMEO - Romeo Engine Plant (REP) was recently presented the 2012 Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) Neighborhood Environmental Partner (NEP) award. Since only facilities that meet Michigan's stringent Clean Corporate Citizen criteria can even apply for the award, NEP honorees represent an elite group.
This marks the second time REP has been recognized with a NEP award – the first time was in 2009. NEP Program awards recognize facilities, companies and their community partners who have worked together to improve the environment in their community by implementing ongoing environmental projects.
REP has been an active member of the Wildlife Habitat Council for 13 years. By enhancing the surrounding ecology through the maintenance of a Wildlife Habitat Area, REP fulfilled the NEP criteria of implementing a sustained environmental effort. In addition to supplying homes to many different species, the area provides the corridors necessary for migration and species sustainability.
The Macomb Orchard Trail is an example of what the MDEQ NEP Program stands for - an entire community working together toward a common goal. Individuals, local governments and businesses have joined together to change areas once used solely for industry into areas that provide habitat for wildlife and recreation for the general public.
Consistent with the criteria involved with the NEP, REP worked in concert with Macomb County to provide educational and mentoring opportunities. This was accomplished by providing Environmental Studies students from the University of Michigan-Dearborn the opportunity to develop career skills through internships. The interns worked with the REP's Environmental Office and the Macomb County Office of Planning and Economic Development to build an observation platform/fishing pier over East Pond Creek. The platform is currently utilized by residents of the surrounding community and users of the trail for educational as well as recreational purposes. Since this time, representatives from REP have enhanced its environmental mentoring program to include a career day with the local high school in order to further develop the skills of the students.
"I believe that Romeo Engine Plant's environmental goals are interconnected to Ford Motor Company's economic success," said Dennis Sparks, REP Internal Environmental auditor. "Not only does the Neighborhood Environmental Partner Program give participants the opportunity to share the triumphs involved with sustainability, it allows partners to share the burdens. By working together as a team, the entire community can be truly successful."

My son is 14 and a half months. He is a VERY good eater, but only when MOMMY feeds him.
I have tried for several months now to get him to pick up his own food and put it in his mouth. He can pick it up, look at it, and then throws it.
He's pretty good with not putting anything in his mouth; toys, binkies, etc, but things like cheerios, or raisins, I don't know what else I can do. I've tried getting him to mimic me, picking up a cheerio and putting to my mouth and eating it. I tried leaving the room. I tried putting in his hand and forcing his hand up to his mouth. I've tried waiting until he is practically screaming for food figuring if he's hungry he'd get the concept. He can drink on his own though, which has been going on since 7 months.
I already asked my doctor and he told me it's not a coordination issue, it's being lazy.
I guess I wouldn't be posting this if I wasn't concerned, and also, we have number 2 on the way due in June, and things are going to get hectic, I will NOT have time to sit there to make sure he eats.

About two dozen emergency service providers throughout Callaway County gathered Monday afternoon at the county's Emergency Operations Center to review procedures used during last week's blizzard that dumped more than a foot of snow on the county.
Each representative expressed satisfaction for the hard work that was put in by crews working through the storm, especially the snow plow crews from the Callaway County Road and Bridge Department that cleared 820 miles of road throughout the county and the Fulton street clearing crews that not only plowed snow but also hauled some of it away in the downtown area.
Crews from both agencies worked without sleep for almost two days to clear roads and streets. Volunteer members of county fire protection districts also worked long hours to be ready to handle any emergencies.
Firemen agreed they were relieved that no major fires broke out during the storm and that ice was not a major problem.
Fulton Fire Chief Dean Buffington told the group that the department has been struggling to locate many fire hydrants that were covered by the deep snow. Some of the hydrants along streets were covered by snow plows and people shoveling snow from driveways.
"We can't remember where all of them are. We can pull out maps and we still don't know exactly where they are. We can dig for quite a while before finding them," Buffington said.
Fulton City Administrator Bill Johnson said people who have hydrants near their homes should make a point of clearing away the snow. "They may save their own home if they do so," Johnson said.
Sheriff Dennis Crane praised county road crews for their work during the storm. "They came to help me when I got stuck," Crane said.
The Missouri National Guard was activated and assisted the Callaway County Ambulance District in making calls during the storm. A National Guard unit from Hannibal was activated and was waiting around at a St. Louis armory to be dispatched.
Charles Anderson, Callaway County Ambulance District manager, said ambulance crews were having difficulty making it through deep snow. A request to the National Guard for Humvees to assist in ambulance calls was approved about noon Tuesday and they were promised to arrive in six hours. But a dispatching problem in the National Guard resulted in the unit from Hannibal not being dispatched until much later. They did not arrive in Fulton until about 7 p.m. Wednesday, more than 24 hours later.
Anderson said a National Guard Humvee was used for about 36 hours to assist in Callaway County ambulance calls.
"During that 36-hour period we sent the National Guard Humvee on seven ambulance calls and we had to use them on four of the responses. They were very beneficial and a big help to us," Anderson said.
"We were able to serve everyone who called us. A couple of cases took us longer than we would have liked but we did make it to all calls," Anderson said.
Anderson said the National Guard unit from Hannibal had been activated early and were in an armory in St. Louis with about 100 guardsmen waiting to be deployed. "They didn't understand why it took so long for them to be deployed. They were as frustrated as we were about the delay," Anderson said.
Crane said in previous dealings with the National Guard it takes from 36 to 48 hours for them to arrive, and that's not related to the storm.
Michelle Kidwell, EOC director, said she was told that after requesting resources it could take up to 96 hours for the National Guard to arrive. Kidwell said she understood that but her problem was that the National Guard had told her that the unit would be in Fulton in six hours but they didn't arrive until a day and a half later.
Kidwell said she tried to keep the Humvees in Callaway County to assist ambulance calls in private roads that were not plowed in many instances. "But they didn't want to stay here," Kidwell said.
Anderson said city and county snow plow crews also worked closely with ambulance crews in responding to ambulance calls. "The interagency cooperation was much better during this storm than it has been in the past," Anderson said.

New Tank pH Crash
Preface: This is from an email I just sent off to my uncle who gave me most of the aquarium equipment although he hasn't kept fish for a few years did so for many years successfully. So we start with me & Lil Frankie: I live in NYC and my LFS is an independent shop with a experienced staff, awesome selection and pretty good prices considering the rents in the area. Almost 15 days ago I had no fish but a neighbor asked me to Betta sit Fran for a week or so. He was in a half liter vase with a "quartz" rock getting once a week water changes. I came here learned myself a bit and decided to act. About 11 days ago I got a 2.5g meta frame from my uncle which I put Lil' Frankie in after the cloudiness in the water had settled a few hours later. The 2.5g had a nano filter, a light, an amazon sword plant which has steadily died since I brought it home. I am using almost all API water treatment products: Stress Coat, Stress Zyme, Ammo-Zorb etc. The 10g has a funky old filter that is pretty versatile but not without its faults. It basically an overflow box with 2 siphon inflows to a media compartment the cleaned water gets an air assisted siphon back into the tank. I will post some pics in a bit to better illustrate it. The LFS sold me some Alkaline Buffer by seachem. They said the small tank would be very difficult to adjust since it had low buffering capacity. I am very hesitant to use this since I have read that it can cause drastic changes in pH. They discouraged the use of crushed coral my size tank. Morning: I'm gonna ask the guys at the LFS what they think but I figured you might have some good advice to give as well. I got the full freshwater aquarium test kit last Thursday and did a my first set of full tests. The pH was about 7.0 and the rest of the readings for Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate all came in at 0. I did a water change of about 3L on Friday with water that had been treated a few days earlier. On Monday I tested it and the pH has crashed to 6! I did a 1.5 L change and that brought it up to 6.8 but it had crashed again by Tuesday morning. Frank is fine right now but I know long run I need to stabilize this and 6 is really low. After Lunch: The guys at the LFS said I should use a pH buffer. Im not 100% I want to use this but I got some anyway. I also took out a "quartz" rock which on closer inspection had a dark colored vein in it and seemed prone to breaking apart with my bare hands. Both of which I read on a forum discussion is a no no. The 10g is also suffering from a pH crash. The first day I tested and it cam in at 6.8 and today it was down to 6.0. Ive double checked all me testing and the tanks always come up acidic while the treated water I have had standing for atleast 24 hours consistently comes up perfectly neutral. Have you used pH buffers? I have the 10G cycling right now and actually just added the small nano over the back filter I got for the 2.5g tank, I figure frank will be fine and I can just do a daily 50% change of his water if I leave the filter in the big tank. The reason I moved the nano over to the 10g is because the the siphon filter doesn't seem to have the same suction or ability to remove particulate from the water. Ive added a tiny amount of crushed fish food which I have read will help kick start the nitrogen cycle. The filter you gave me is packed with an API bag media called Ammo-Zorb on top and Foam media which is on the bottom. I may switch this up because it seems a little ass backwards I would think the larger more porous media would come first to get the big stuff and the bag which only absorbs Ammonia, nitrites and Nitrates would be at the bottom where it gets the stuff that the biological filter cant handle. As I was saying above the pH has crashed in the big tank as well. So I am kinda at a loss I also caught 3 Malaysian trumpet snails which I am not super happy about but in the future I will be more careful with washing and inspecting plants in the future. Apparently if the water is acidic enough they will leave the substrate which is how I caught them. Ive got them quarantined in the critter keeper with some substrate and water, I may get an assassin snail to be warden of the tank. I plan to get some 5g buckets so that I can treat the water in quantity well in advance of water changes to allow time for aeration & aging of the water. But for now I'm stuck doing water changes with 1.5L containers. >> End EmaiL I hope this isnt to discombobulated and long to get through but If your reading this Congrats and many thanks :) Oh yeah and the neighbor said I could keep him -bettaop4 P.S. Im doubly sorry my post has been compressed into a solid block of unreadable text.

3. Death to the "Great Satan"
Destroying Israel is a necessary but not sufficient step to hasten the 12th Imam's arrival. The "Great Satan" – the United States – must also be brought down.
In December 2009, Ahmadinejad accused the United States of doing all it could to prevent the return of the 12th Imam:
We have documented proof that they [U.S. leaders] believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts [the Middle East] and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world. They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the ground for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule
Ayatollah Khamenei linked Israel and the United states together as the mortal enemies of the 12th Imam and declared through a spokesman in August 2009:
We have to train honest forces that can stop the obstacles that may hinder the coming of the Mahdi like the United States and Israel
In response to the most recent street protests in Iran, Khamenei blamed the United States and Israel. As translated by MEMRI, he told his supporters on February 15, 2011:
We say to the Americans and to the Zionists that we consider them to be the real instigators of the fitna. We will never forget who the main enemy is. We continue to shout passionately: Death to America, death to Israel.
Aside from such slogans and threats to retaliate fiercely against the United States and Israel for any military actions taken against Iran, the regime has been taking a more provocative posture against the United States recently, almost as if to lure the United States into a conflict.
For example, Iranian Armed Forces deputy chief of staff for cultural affairs and defense publicity Brig.-Gen. Masoud Jazayeri said on February 16, 2011:
The U.S. and White House will be shamefaced soon because of their measures
Jazayeri made the remarks after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently claimed that the U.S. would stand with anti-government protestors in Iran, predicting that popular waves and confrontations would come out in the U.S. soon.
As a major step towards such a confrontation, Iran is progressing with plans to establish a nuclear beach head in Latin America, bringing the danger of conflict much closer to the United States homeland. Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has been developing a nuclear program for two years with the collaboration of Iran. Venezuela is also reportedly helping Iran obtain uranium in apparent violation of the UN Security Council resolutions aimed at stopping Iran's illegal nuclear weapons program.
Iran is also planning to place medium-range missiles on Venezuelan soil. Under agreements reached between Chavez and Ahmadinejad , Iran will be permitted to establish a military base manned by Iranian missile officers, soldiers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Venezuelan missile officers. Many US cities will be within range from Venezuela, even with short-medium range missiles.
When President John Kennedy faced down the Soviet Union during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, he was dealing with an adversary whom did not relish the prospect of self-destruction in the event that a nuclear war broke out. Unless the United States takes preventative action to stop the establishment of Iranian-built and manned missile sites in our backyard, Iran will be in a position to ignite the war and ensuing chaos that are precisely what its leaders want to hasten the arrival of the 12th Imam.

During the Briscoes match, one of the lighting rigs kept going on and off and then the sound system starting screwing up a bit during Kevin Steen's entrance but that fixed itself so overall the show was pretty good technically.
I don't know what the crowd was but it was the best crowd out of the four live events that ROH have run in Mississauga. I am guessing 800-900.
Michael Elgin wasn't near as over as one might think but it was more because Kevin Steen had so many fans. There were lots of dueling chants though.
Mike Mondo was limping bad after his match.
Truth Martini's bump looked brutal live.
In a smart move, ROH had an offer where fans could pay 5 bucks to get a card with a code to watch the iPPV replay on the website.
When the live show was over, you could see the production people up in a window at the venue and they were high-fiving and literally jumping for joy after the show.
The crowd was HOT for most of the matches so it will be interesting to watch it on DVD as the crowd heat never seems to come across as well on DVD compared to live.

PARIS, TX-- Paris Mayor A.J Hashmi says Pakistan's ex-leader is too sick to show up at court to face treason charges.
Hashmi has been treating Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf since 2006. He says Musharraf is suffering from an alarming heart condition, and he needs to be transferred to the U.S for urgent treatment.
Hashmi's letter was presented by Musharraf's lawyer to a Special Court that is considering treason charges against him.
Musharraf was summoned last year, but failed to appear four times citing security or health concerns.

ENTERPRISE — Reports of wildfires continued into the evening, following thunderstorms that moved through Northeast Oregon Thursday afternoon.
A fire was held to a half acre in Idaho's Seven Devils Mountains in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area by crews from the Payette National Forest, said Nathan Goodrich, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest north zone fire management officer.
A fire on Powatka Ridge north of Wallowa was discovered on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest a quarter mile from private land. Three engines responded and it was controlled late Thursday, said Matt Howard of Oregon Department of Forestry's Wallowa Unit.
Another fire on private land broke out in Olson Meadows and was extinguished with a single-engine response, Howard said.
A fire on Cougar Ridge, up from Big Canyon west of Wallowa, had four Blue Mountain helicopter rappel crew members, two engines, a single-engine air tanker and a helicopter respond.
"It was at a half acre when crews got there, but they stopped it at 1-1/2 acres," Howard said. "It was a good catch."
Goodrich said a fire was reported late Thursday near Little Storm Lake in the Eagle Cap Wilderness west of Lostine. It will be assessed today. There were a couple reports of fires on Harl Butte, east of Joseph, but they weren't located. Goodrich said a reconnaissance flight Friday will try to locate them.
During Thursday's storm, a lot of rain came down in some parts of the forest. Goodrich said the China Cap Fire, east of Union in the Eagle Cap Wilderness, received quite a bit of rain and there is minimal fire behavior.

Our Sunday paper arrived complete win a Christmas card from Juan.
Juan delivers my paper every day long before 6 a. m.
I expect his days begin well before 5 in the morning.
Of course, his paper route allows him to work two jobs, at least.
I know Juan hopes I'll use the Christmas card envelop, self-addressed, to pass along a tip for his service this last year. And, I'll gladly respond as he hopes.
Juan works hard.
I am fortunate that he is assigned to my street.
Even more blessed that he came to the U. S.
I don't get folks who oppose immigrants.
Merry Christmas, to you and your family, Juan!

I have nothing against immigrants but the fact is, if current policy continues, we will add 300 million more people to our population by the end of this century. To use a favorite word of yours, that is not "sustainable". I urge you to watch this 10 minute U-Tube presentation, "Immigration by the Numbers--off the Charts."

Objective To investigate diabetes-specific autoantibodies and additional autoimmune phenomena in a very large cohort of young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Research Design and methods Data from 28,671 patients < 30 years with T1D from 242 specialized centres in Germany and Austria were analyzed.
Results At least one Beta-cell-antibody was present in 81.6% of patients. ß-cell-Ab-negative patients were significantly younger at diabetes onset (p<0.0001). 19.6% had positive thyroid antibodies with female predominance (62 %, p<0.0001). Antibodies to tissue transglutaminase were present in 10.7%, with a significantly longer duration of diabetes (p<0.0001). Parietal cell antibodies were found in 283 patients, associated with older age (p<0.001), and adrenal antibodies were present in 94 patients. In 575 patients, at least 3 different autoimmune phenomena were present.
Conclusions Thyroid autoimmunity and antibodies suggestive for celiac disease are the most prevalent additional immune phenomena in T1D. Parietal/ adrenal antibodies are rare.

Falcon parkway construction project improves safety, security

Schriever Sentinel
3/19/2014 -
SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.
-- Team Schriever members may have already noticed barricades going up north of the north restricted area portal. Construction crews began a major road construction project in the area March 17.
The project will reconfigure Falcon Parkway leading to the north portal building, transforming the roadway into a two-lane traffic circle that ends short of the portal building.
Drivers entering the restricted area entrapment gate will use a two-lane road that stems from the traffic circle while drivers entering the main parking areas northwest and northeast of the restricted area will be diverted into those areas at points more than 100 yards from the portal building.
"This roadway reconfiguration project is designed to improve safety and security near the restricted area portal," said Myron Jacobson, 50th Civil Engineer Squadron project management chief. "We're following Air Force requirements to keep traffic away from restricted-area access points."
Currently, the roadway includes four lanes that end just north of the portal building.
"This area is a hub of activity, with a large number of people entering the RA in the morning and large group departing the RA in the evening," Jacobson said. "So from a safety aspect, we'll have better cross walks and entry and exit walkways that lead to and from the portal. We will also alleviate the large amount of automobile traffic that enters and exits close to the portal."
The project, which will include new curbing, walkways and landscaping, is slated to be completed in two months.
"This is a high-visibility area, right in the middle of everything," Jacobson said. "We understand the needs of pedestrians and accommodating pedestrian traffic is a priority."
Construction crews will also install new lighting fixtures, reroute underground electrical cables and add shrubbery and evergreen landscaping.
Crews will begin by removing existing pavement and earth moving, but they will complete the project in stages so as to allow for rerouting of auto and pedestrian traffic.
"We'll close off half of the area and complete work there and then reopen that area and close off the other side while construction takes place in the second area," Jacobson said. "We're hoping to mitigate interruptions and inconvenience. "
Jacobson said there will be a one-time, temporary shutdown of the entrapment gate, but otherwise, no other closures should occur in connection to this project.
Construction crews are planning to complete the project in June, when they will reopen the entire area.
"This is an important realignment of the existing roadway to support the installation's traffic needs," said Robert Blevins 50 CES Chief of Engineering. "Both pedestrians and drivers will benefit from the new configuration."
I park in the Northwest parking lot and currently only cross traffic at one place just in front of the vehicle entrapment area a designated cross walk. According to this diagram I will now be crossing traffic twice. I fail to see how this makes it a benefit for pedestrians.The current traffic flow into the restricted area waits at the designated stop sign until signaled to enter where will they wait once the improvements are done At high traffic times there can be up to 10 vehicles waiting to enter which looks like they would now be in the crosswalk versus set back at the stop sign.As the Air Force gears up to draw down its number of troops it appears to be a tad extravagant to be spending millions of dollars for a traffic circle and some shrubbery that is unnecessary.

With the pyrotechnics and blazing light shows at say, a KISS concert, it is hard to miss getting active and richly-colored photographs. Sometimes, though, the result of turning our cameras toward the audience, or behind-the-scenes, can result in equally compelling photographs.
