Announcing top-line results from its Phase III TRINOVA-1 trial evaluating trebananib plus paclitaxel vs. placebo plus paclitaxel in recurrent ovarian cancer, Amgen today said its drug had met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival.
The firm observed a 34% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death in patients given trebananib plus paclitaxel, compared with placebo.
Overall, median progression-free survival was 7.2 months with trebananib arm vs. four months in the control arm, Amgen said, noting it expects to report overall survival results in 2014.
"Angiopoietin inhibition has been a focus of research at Amgen and these results suggest that the novel biology of trebananib may offer a promising approach for patients with ovarian cancer," Sean E. Harper, M.D., evp of R&D at Amgen said in a statement.

One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

|Brad Stevens envies the 'beautiful basketball' of the Atlanta Hawks after seeing it up close and personal
|01.15.15 at 10:24 am ET
Brad Stevens had the perfect model for his players to see Wednesday night. The Atlanta Hawks came in winners of nine straight, despite missing star big man Al Horford and sharpshooter Kyle Korver.
He thought maybe his team would see how Atlanta (31-8) is playing the game right now for their coach Mike Budenholzer and be inspired. He thought wrong.
Not three minutes into the game, Stevens had to call a timeout to remind his young team, still working to learn each other's game, that he wants them to run basic offense.
"I thought our offense was pretty poor all night, and I think they're obviously a difficult-enough offense to guard," Stevens said. "But when you give them run-out dunks, it doesn't help anything, and we just turned the ball over too much. Put too much pressure on ourselves to be good in the half-court defensively, and then to come back.
"We had cut it to nine and we were playing with some pretty good energy, but then at the end of the day they made us pay on a few different plays. And they do such a great job of ' they don't over-dribble, you know? They attack, they space, they pass ' it's beautiful basketball. They really move the ball well. And I thought we never really got into anything from a movement standpoint. We got pushed out a little bit out of our space and we fumbled the ball all around as a result of that."
The Celtics responded in the first quarter and managed a 24-24 tie after 12 minutes. But the roof started to cave in when the shots didn't fall in the second and they could never really recover from a 57-45 halftime hole. Still, it was the start of the game that stuck in Stevens' craw.
|Jared Sullinger would rather not change momentum
|at 12:45 am ET
While his team's double-digit loss to the Hawks came as no surprise — even as Atlanta rested starters Al Horford and Kyle Korver — Celtics coach Brad Stevens wasn't pleased with his team's effort almost from the opening tip.
"I was really disappointed with our first three minutes of the game," Stevens said of a timeout that came just 2:38 into Wednesday's 105-91 loss to the red-hot Hawks. "I'm usually not that disappointed in the first three minutes of the game. I thought it was poorly played on our part."
Things didn't get much better over the final 45 minutes, either, as Kelly Olynyk allowed dunk after layup after dunk inside, Tyler Zeller finished 0-for-4 from the floor and Stevens continued to dig deep into his rotation.
"Well, I thought our offense was pretty poor all night, and I think they're obviously a difficult enough offense to guard," added Stevens. "But when you give them run-out dunks, it doesn't help anything, and we just turned the ball over too much." (Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?)
With usual energy boosters Jae Crowder and Marcus Smart struggling to produce, the Celtics desperately needed a game-changer, but only Phil Pressey (7 points, 2 assists) on the end of the bench provided any punch.
|Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder carry leadership torch
|01.13.15 at 2:01 am ET
Whether it's a direct result of trading Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green or a direct response to those deals, these young Celtics are playing with more purpose than they have all season.
"It's kind of like being a younger brother," C's rookie Marcus Smart said following a 108-100 victory against the Pelicans. "You're always told, 'You can't do this; you'll never do this,' and you just want to prove them wrong. And that's kind of what we're trying to do."
Rondo has since admitted to a lack of effort during his final 18 months in Boston, and Green was notorious for showing up one night only to disappear the next. That's a horrible message for young players, and probably part of the reason they're gone.
"I'd like to see everybody carry the torch," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said of a void left by trading his two top players, adding: "Everybody has to be a leader, and I've seen just in recent weeks that there are more voices to be heard and more people that are stepping up and trying to be leaders, and time will tell whether they can be. Sometimes some voices snuff out the voice of others, and we're tying to create a culture where everybody takes ownership and it results in the success of the team."
|Celtics finalize Jeff Green trade for a No. 1 pick, Austin Rivers and Tayshaun Prince's expiring contract
|01.12.15 at 11:53 am ET
The Celtics officially announced the Jeff Green trade for an unidentified future first-round pick, Tayshaun Prince's $7.7 million expiring contract and Austin Rivers, son of former C's coach Doc Rivers.
Green, whose 17.6 points per game currently lead the Celtics, joins a Grizzlies team battling for home-court advantage in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Memphis sends Quincy Pondexter and a second-round pick to a Pelicans squad in search of a playoff spot.
According to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, who first reported the deal, the Celtics will receive a first-round pick from Memphis that won't come to fruition until 2019 and are expected to send Rivers elsewhere in exchange for a second-round pick and expiring contracts. Surprisingly, the Clippers have been mentioned as a potential trade partner, potentially pairing Rivers with his father in Los Angeles.
Prince's expiring deal will give the Celtics as much as $30 million in cap space this summer.
Following the trade's completion, Green posted his appreciation for Boston on Instagram.
|Celtics trade Brandan Wright to Suns for pick(s)
|01.09.15 at 6:01 pm ET
The Celtics traded recently acquired and underused forward Brandan Wright to the Suns for a future draft picks(s), the team announced on Friday night. Yahoo Sports guru Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the trade on Twitter.
In exchange for Wright — seemingly the prized jewel in Celtics president Danny Ainge's trade of Rajon Rondo — Suns general manager Ryan McDonough is sending a Timberwolves pick to his former employer that is top-12 protected for this season and next before turning into a pair of second-round picks in 2016 and 2017.
The 6-foot-9 Wright came to the Celtics with the league's highest field goal percentage (74.8 percent), but then played in just eight games for Boston, averaging 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in only 10.8 minutes a night.
In essence, the Celtics have turned Rondo into Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson's relatively low $2.73 million expiring contract, a late 2016 first-round pick from Dallas and two second-round picks from Minnesota in 2016 and 2017.
Meanwhile, the Celtics are nearing a deal that would send Jeff Green to the Grizzlies in exchange for Tayshaun Prince's $7.7 million expiring contract and a future first-round pick, according to Wojnarowski, likely giving Ainge nine No. 1 selections over the next four seasons.
|Brad Stevens takes blame for messy Celtics: 'I've got to figure out how to coach this team better'
|01.05.15 at 11:30 pm ET
Brad Stevens has reached a low point in his second season as Celtics head coach.
Stevens sounded an ominous signal Monday following a 104-95 lifeless loss to the lowly Charlotte Hornets on "Seats for Soldiers" night at TD Garden.
His team started slow out of the gate and really never recovered, trailing 22-11 late in the first quarter and 50-36 at the half.
"First of all, they played at a great pace, and they made shots and Kemba (Walker) was great," Stevens said. "We couldn't stop him. Cody Zeller was playing at a higher energy-level than anybody else on the floor a lot of the game, and you know (Gerald) Henderson has always really given us fits. I thought all three of those guys looked like they were at a different level early. And we weren't very good."
It got so bad that Stevens ran through his entire 13-man roster by the end of the third quarter. What was he hoping to accomplish?
"No idea. I think tonight was more of an anomaly because I was throwing darts. I can act like I know the answer to your question, but I was throwing darts," Stevens said.
Asked a question about the breakout game for James Young and whether it might mean more playing time for the rookie, Stevens instead took the opportunity to do a little soul searching.
"I don't know," Stevens said. "I don't know. I've got to figure out how to coach this team better. I'm not doing a very good job. We're not playing well and we're playing almost ' it's not good basketball. We've got to do a better job playing good basketball. I'll figure out the rotations later, once we start playing good basketball and once we all are very focused on very good basketball. And that's on me. I've got to do a better job."
|Rajon Rondo is introduced as a visitor back in Boston
|01.02.15 at 7:51 pm ET
The banner around the TD Garden video board read "Thank You Rondo!" And with that, a three-minute tribute to the former Celtics superstar point guard concluded Friday night. The Celtics showed their appreciation for Rajon Rondo, their most recent captain, in a stirring three-minute tribute featuring highlights of his eight-plus seasons in Boston, marking his return for the first time since the December trade that sent him out of town.
At the end of the tribute produced by the Celtics, Rondo acknowledged the standing ovation from the fans, and then went over to the Celtics bench, giving a hug to longtime trainer Ed Lacerte and others. Before the game, he had a hug with Celtics TV announcer Mike Gorman.
Rondo capped a 15-point first quarter with his third three-pointer in as many tries with 0.2 seconds remaining. Rondo connected on all six shots as the Mavericks raced out to a 31-17 lead.
Rondo cooled off a bit in the second quarter, connecting on 1-of-4 shots and finishing the half with 18 points, three rebounds and one assist as the Mavericks led, 59-46.
Rajon Rondo was introduced for first time as a member of the Dallas Mavericks since he was traded by the Celtics in December.
Rondo scored the first 10 points of the game for Dallas, including a pair of 3-pointers on his first two attempts from long distance.

Guys, don't forget Valentine's DayPublished 1:06pm Monday, February 13, 2012
Column: Something About Nothing
"Take away love and our earth is a tomb." — Robert Browning
Yes, it is that time of year when we celebrate love. Hearts and flowers are displayed in the windows of stores. Ads turn pink and red to symbolize love. Love makes the world go around. Yes, if there were no love, the earth would be a tomb.
I love Valentine's Day. It isn't because I always get the most romantic Valentine, but because there is something about the day that makes us better people. We take the time on Valentine's Day to shower those we care about with wishes of love. What makes a person feel better than to know they are loved?
Love doesn't have to cost a lot of money. It is the sentiment that counts. My most memorable Valentine's Day present cost my husband pennies. It was the first Valentine I received from him the first year we were married.
I suspect it was a Valentine born out of the "Oh, no, I forgot it's Valentine's Day, and I don't have a Valentine to take home."
The first Valentine from my husband was a big triangular old tin with the words "I Love You" welded to the front. Along with the tin was a heavy silver bar with the word "Julie" welded on that. Out of all the Valentines, I have received those are the ones I still have. In fact, the bar sits on the windowsill of my office. I have had those gifts for 41 years.
I cannot say for sure as to the sentiment when making those gifts, but I can be for sure about the sentiment that was in his heart. I also like the weird and unique and so I treasured those gifts.
Another Valentine's Day I remember occurred before I met my husband. I received a plant, fresh flowers and a big Valentine heart filled with chocolates all from different male friends. I took a picture of those gifts. I knew I would never see a Valentine's Day like that again.
I love to watch the young people and the glow on their faces when they receive flowers or a special gift from that certain girl or boy that is in their life at this time. Memories are being made.
I used to work in a Hallmark store and a drug store. By Valentine's Day most of the cards for husbands and guy friends were sold out.
On Valentine's Day there were still many cards left for women. Sorry, guys, at that time it was just a fact. That was another reason I loved to work on Valentine's Day. It was so much fun at the end of the day to stand by the cards and gifts and assist those harried males with their last-minute Valentine buys.
I would wait for the door to open, their faces said it all, and I would point to the Valentine section and not have to say a word. Remember it is the thought that counts, not the lateness.
It is also hard to feel the love of Valentine's Day if you are alone and you are not remembered. There have been many tears shed because of not being remembered. If that is the case, remember yourself on Valentine's Day. Take the time to love yourself and do something special for you. The love we feel isn't just for family and friends; we need to feel it for ourselves, too.
I wish you love. Happy Valentine's Day.
"Life is a journey, and love is what makes that journey worthwhile." — Unknown Author

3.5 Reasons You Should Train Differently For Fat Loss
Tanner Baze Apr 19, 2016 Nutrition
The vast majority of the people who step into a gym are trying to drop body fat. And seeing how I practically live in various gyms, that means most of these people tend to ask me a basic question:
Should I be doing strength circuits?
I really like doing curls. Do I need to give them up on a fat loss program?
Should I start doing more cardio?
They're all different, but they all boil down to this basic question:
Should I be training differently for fat loss?
And the truth is, at the most basic level, things don't really change much when it comes to getting jacked, getting strong like bull, or melting body fat to show off your abs. You still need to be lifting heavy weights with plenty of compound moves, a few isolation moves, and you need to switch things up every 4-6 weeks or so to keep adapting.

How in the WORLD is possible? I swear, I've read the equivalent of 3 encyclopedias to no avail. I've tried solutions within regions, page.tpl.php and blocks. None of them give me what I need... and I know there are so many other people that need this too!
I've come to the conclusion that I want to print out the menu within my page.tpl.php ... so no block solutions, please.
I want to be able to loop through the primary menu links (AND children) and rewrite the output so that there's no default Drupal class tagging. The closest I've found is this example:
<?php if (is_array($primary_links)) : ?>

<?php foreach ($primary_links as $link): ?>

<?php
$href = $link['href'] == "<front>" ? base_path() : base_path() . drupal_get_path_alias($link['href']);
print "" . $link['title'] . "";
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
As you can see, links are being reprinted with a custom UL and LI class ... that's GREAT! However, no children are being printed. How would I extend this code so that all children are a part of the list? NOTE: I don't want the children to only appear on their parent page, they must be present all the time. Otherwise, the drop-down menu I have planned is useless.
I sincerely thank you in advance to lessening my gargantuan headache!

Jennifer's Reviews > Matchless: A Christmas Story
Matchless: A Christmas Story
by Gregory Maguire

Jennifer's review
bookshelves: folk-tales
Dec 30, 10
bookshelves: folk-tales
Read in December, 2010
Matchless was very short, and more true to the original Hans Christian Anderson story than I expected. Even though it is in some ways predictable, I liked how things worked out for the boy - a new family and more comforts. I liked the connection between him and the little match girl, how she saved his life at the end and how he was such a sweet brother to his new sisters. One thing I've always loved about the HCA fairy tale is how the little match girl is given images of comfort as she is dying. One likes to think of being comforted while dying.

"Perfect in every detail. Color, and print well coordinated. Love them. Will definitely order again and recommend ! Great variety to pick from also. These baby girl invites were just how I wanted them! Thank you!"
"I have two nieces (sisters) that are expecting within a couple of months of the other, so decided for the benefit of the guests (90% would have been invited to both showers) to do a joint shower. I was worried that creating an invitation would be tricky, but this was perfect. Both Moms-to-be were thrilled! The envelope option was a bonus."
"We upgraded this invitation to the luminescent paper, it looks so nice! Got many compliments on how cute/adorable the cards are. Totally recommend this item."
"This invite (sample) surpassed my expectations. High quality paper, lovely illustration…. I will be ordering these for my daughters baby shower in November."
"I wanted a baby shower invitation to celebrate the royal event of the arrival of my grandson. He is not really going to be a prince except in my eyes. Therefore, this was the perfect combination of sophistication, elegance and panache. The design was simple, striking, different, and the focus was on the word "Baby." Everyone loved them!"

In short, when signing a buyer agency agreement make sure you are comfortable with the agent and that you understand your responsibilities. I have done a number of buyer agencies and the buyer has not had to pay any fees. So it all depends!
As a side note it is very much in your interest to have a buyer agency, because that agent is representing you and not the seller. Normally all agents represent the seller unless they have a agreement to make the buyer a client. Very good question!
Wish you well.

The Discussion covers how agents feel about Commissions, showing or not showing homes based on Commission, what Commission many agents expect and much more pertaining to Commissions.
I think you will find it a very informative and interesting Read.
Good hunting, Dunes
Bottom line: In most cases, you do not have to pay a real estate agent when you're buying. Most of the time, the entire commission is paid by the seller. However, as the previous answers noted, that's something you should discuss with your agent.
Once in a while there may be a situation where the Seller (For Sale By Owner) may say, I won't pay the agent- then adjust your offer by the amount you would pay your agent and pay your agent directly.
Sit down with an agent you'd like to work with- ask them questions, make sure you are comfortable that they with them and their ability to represent you in the manner you expect. It's very important that the agent you work with matches your personality.
All the Best to you!

In the wiki there is a guide to use "minimal install" procedure, but it's based on the CD "mini.iso" to be used as a completelly network install. In some scenarios is a problem to download hundreds of MegaBytes to make the system installation.
Using the server installation CD could do the job? Kernel replacement required then?

Status of FDA's Program for Inspections by Accredited Organizations
GAO-07-157: Published: Jan 5, 2007. Publicly Released: Jan 5, 2007.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-3407
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects domestic and foreign establishments where U.S.-marketed medical devices are manufactured to assess compliance with FDA's quality system requirements for ensuring good manufacturing practices and other applicable requirements. The Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) required FDA to accredit organizations to inspect certain establishments where devices that are marketed in both the United States and other countries are manufactured. This report includes information that MDUFMA requires GAO to provide on (1) the number of organizations that sought accreditation, the number that were accredited, and reasons for denial of accreditation and (2) the number of inspections conducted by accredited organizations. It also includes information about factors that could influence manufacturers' interest in voluntarily requesting and paying for an inspection by an accredited organization. GAO examined FDA documents, interviewed FDA officials, and obtained information from FDA on the number of inspections conducted from March 11, 2004--when FDA first cleared an accredited organization to conduct independent inspections--through October 31, 2006. GAO also interviewed affected entities, including accredited organizations and medical device manufacturers.
FDA granted accreditation to 17 of 23 organizations that applied to conduct inspections of establishments where medical devices are manufactured. FDA denied accreditation to applicants that did not meet minimum criteria because their applications were not correctly completed or did not demonstrate the applicants' technical competence. During the first accreditation year, which started in April 2003, FDA received 23 applications. Of the 23 applications, 2 were not correctly completed and 2 did not demonstrate that the applicants had adequate technical competence. Although the remaining 19 applicants met the minimum criteria, MDUFMA limited the number of organizations that could be accredited to 15 during the first year after FDA issued criteria for accreditation. FDA scored the 19 applications against these criteria and rank-ordered them. It accredited the 15 organizations with the highest ranking applications, but 1 organization later withdrew. After the initial accreditation year, FDA received 2 more applications for accreditation and it accredited both organizations. These 16 organizations remained accredited as of October 31, 2006. Between March 11, 2004, and October 31, 2006, two accredited organizations conducted independent inspections--one inspection of a domestic establishment and one inspection of a foreign establishment. During that same period, 36 inspections of domestic establishments and 1 inspection of a foreign establishment were conducted by accredited organizations jointly with FDA officials as part of training that FDA requires of accredited organizations. As of October 31, 2006, individuals from 7 of the 16 accredited organizations had completed all training requirements and were cleared to conduct independent inspections. Several factors may influence manufacturers' interest in voluntarily requesting an inspection by an accredited organization. According to FDA and representatives of affected entities, there are potential incentives and disincentives to requesting an inspection, as well as reasons for deferring participation in the program. Potential incentives include the opportunity to reduce the number of inspections conducted to meet FDA and other countries' requirements and to control the scheduling of the inspection. Potential disincentives include bearing the cost for the inspection and uncertainty about the potential consequences of making a commitment to having an inspection to assess compliance with FDA requirements in the near future. Some manufacturers might be deferring participation. For example, manufacturers that already contract with a specific accredited organization to conduct inspections to meet the requirements of other countries might defer participation until FDA has cleared that organization to conduct independent inspections. The Department of Health and Human Services provided technical comments on a draft of this report, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.

I am using the MessageFormatter class to format translated strings to display to the end user.
The catch is that I also need to insert some html markup into the final result. For example, the string might just be
Peter liked a photo, however, I need the final result to contain markup:
Peter liked a photo
After doing lots of research, in particular, these questions
I decided to use this approach:
{1}{0}{2} liked {3}a photo{4}
{0} = Peter
{1} =
{2} =
{3} =
{4} =
This has worked pretty well, besides being a bit cumbersome. However, the main reason I didn't want to include the markup into resource bundle strings was because, sometimes, I want the strings returned without the HTML tags.
The issue is that if I just pass 1 parameter (Peter) to
MessageFormatter, it complains that I have missing parameters.
One work around I could do is to pass this (
{1} to
{5} would be empty strings):
{0} = Peter
{1} =
{2} =
{3} =
{4} =
However, this is extremely cumbersome and not very nice.
Is there anyway I can mark a parameter as optional (essentially, to just ignore the parameter, if a value for it is not passed in) in a message format string?

Insurance agent charged with embezzlement
Published: Friday, December 7, 2007 at 11:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2007 at 4:44 p.m.
Updated 4:40 p.m. A Linwood woman has been arrested and accused of mishandling insurance premiums and embezzling the money.
Melissa Faye Crotts, 38, of West Whispering Lane, Linwood, was charged with five counts of embezzlement by an insurance agent and three counts of providing false statements on an insurance application. She was processed at the Davidson County Detention Center under a $5,000 secured bond.
The charges against Crotts stem from allegations that as owner of a Brooke Insurance franchise in Lexington, she embezzled premiums from clients, according to a press release from the state Department of Insurance. These premiums allegedly were due for the clients insurance policies but were never paid.
According to arrest warrants filed in the office of the Davidson County Clerk of Courts office, she embezzled $10,391.56 from clients. In one of the counts, she received $8,733.96 in insurance premiums that were not deposited into the insurance companys account. The offenses were committed between May 19 and Aug. 29.
Chrissy Pearson, a spokeswoman with the N.C. Department of Insurance, said the state agency started investigating Crotts in September. She was arrested Tuesday.
Pearson said Crotts has had a license to sell life and health insurance policies since 1998 and property and liability license since 1995.
In addition to the actions of the Departments Investigations Division, the Agent Services Division has a scheduled meeting with Crotts to discuss the status of her license.
Pearson said as of Thursday, Crotts still has a license.
To report suspected fraud, contact the Department of Insurance Investigations Division at (919) 807-6840. Callers may remain anonymous. Information is also available at www.ncdoi.com.

A story about men who have perpetrated or are at risk of perpetrating family violence. At stake is the safety of children and partners, the stability of families, and the power we as a society have to intervene. These men have problems expressing anger, and other strong emotions, without resorting to abuse, verbal or physical. We follow these men as they attempt to change and heal their most precious relationships.

1 Ship. Thousands of Patients. 1 year to help.
A team of medics facing life and death decisions.
Out on the ocean, a ship of doctors and nurses is traveling to the poorest of the poor living in West Africa. It carries life saving medical services for people who have none: children who suffer with terrible leg deformities, women outcast from their communities by birthing fistulas, vast tumors of all shapes and sizes which afflict the unlucky. With no medical help, sufferers must survive the best they can – unless the ship is in port.
I AM A GIRL is an inspirational feature length documentary that paints a clear picture of the reality of what it means to be a girl in the 21st century. Feminism may have promised equality and sought a better and fairer world for women but the reality is that girls make up almost a quarter of the world's population yet still face the greatest discrimination of any group in the world. Technology and science offer unimaginable potential but we still struggle to ensure men and women are afforded equal opportunities. Yet in spite of these obstacles, girls have found extraordinary ways to persevere and in our documentary we hear their stories of strength, hope, courage and a refusal to be second best.
The Opposition asks the important question of how can we ethically build sustainable industry in developing countries? How can impoverished communities break free from the cycle of poverty and aid dependence and develop economically – while balancing the needs of community, history and culture? The site for this unfolding drama is Paga Hill, the luscious mountain peninsula of Port Moresby, with splendid views on three sides that sink into crystal blue waterfronts – the paradise everyone wants to claim.
When a country is in crisis, the world responds with aid and development but how much of that money reaches the real people in need?
Disaster Capitalism is an explosive documentary that reveals the underbelly of the global aid and investment industry. It's a complex web of interests that spans the earth from powerful nations and multinational corporations to tribal and village leaders. This documentary offers unique insights into a multi-billion dollar world by investigating how aid dollars are spent.
Best-selling journalist and author Antony Loewenstein joins award-winning filmmaker Thor Neureiter to take viewers on a journey into this world through a four-year investigation of the ramifications of disaster capitalism in Afghanistan, Haiti and Papua New Guinea. There are ideological, economic, political and corporate connections between all three states. We weave them together to show viewers the dark side of Western aid. How did we get here? How can it change and who is leading it? What role and responsibility lies with Western governments? The film asks more questions than it can answer but will leave an audience provoked.

The secret to have a "muscle-toned body" is not dieting, but healthy eating habits and constant workout, says southern actress Piaa Bajpai.
"I'm completely against the idea of dieting because once you stop it, it all comes back. I believe the secret to a perfect body is to eat right and work out constantly. I have been following healthy food and workout regimen for the last few months and I'm extremely happy with the result," the actress told IANS.
"So many people have noticed the change and have complimented me. For a muscle-toned body, I think it's very important to follow this lifestyle without any distraction," she added.
Piaa doesn't undergo extensive workout for any film.
"I'm very ambitious about my career and it's imperative to stay fit, but I'm not working out for any new film. I have taken up this lifestyle seriously because I love my body. I want to look healthy and stay fit," she said
"I have also learned that my metabolism will change with age and I won't be in a position to undergo such extensive work out few years from now. My body may not accept it and, therefore, I'm doing this now for long term benefits," she added.
Doling out tips on food items, she recommended eating food that contains less carbs and more proteins.
"I'm surviving on egg whites and lots of salad and fruits. I'm a vegetarian but I do eat egg white because it's filled with proteins. I leave out the yellow part because it is high on carbs," she said
"I also have 'rotis' made from certain kind of flour and avoid fruits in the evening because they are high on sugar content," said Piaa
What about any special cravings?
"I manage with a bar of dark chocolate once in a while in the evening. I also have dry fruits and low fat curd. If I really need to eat something different, then I have an omelette without oil," she said.
Piaa also spends a lot of time on cardio and jogs every alternate day. However, she goes light on body weights and prefers spending time on abs workout.

"covington georgia" Covington by doug48
Covington Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 8 photos
covington is located 30 miles east of atlanta on I-20. covington is the county seat of newton county georgia. the town was established in 1822 and is named after general leonard covington who was a hero in the war of 1812. the town grew significantly with a railroad connection to atlanta in 1845. in 1864 union general william t. sherman looted covington on his infamous march to the sea but spared the town's homes and buildings. in modern times covington has been the shooting location for several television shows and movies. some examples are the television shows "in the heat of the night" and "the dukes of hazzard". covington was also the location for the films "my cousin vinny", "remember the titans", friday the 13 th park VI", and "holloween II". of interest to the tourist is covington's downtown historic district and the nearby historic town of oxford. for those interested in architecture and southern culture covington is a worth while side trip off of I-20 when traveling between atlanta and augusta.

Please tell me ladies, which ones will you be using? I hear so many good things about cloth diapers but I just feel like it will be a pain to maintain. While on the other hand you strap on 2 small straps pull up pants and go, unstrap wipe and repeat! Sounds so much more eaiser and convenient! tell me your thoughts about it.....
Cloth or Disposable Diapers?!
We are not even considering cloth diapers. This is another thing that is a personal decision and I don't judge those that choose to do cloth. It is something that is really good financially. With our schedule and such it is just easier for us to go with disposible.

Here's a picture of my stash so far. I still need newborn covers and maybe a few fitteds.

I remember thinking I was going to be doing something noble and sacrificial by cloth diapering my first, but cloth really isn't much extra work, so there's a lot of gain (much cheaper, much cuter and much better for the environment as well as baby's bottom and life-long health) for an extra couple of loads of laundry a week, and 10 minutes every so often to stuff a load of pockets - which I do sitting next to her while she plays anyway.
Sometimes when I'm ill or if we go away for a while then I use disposables - I have no issue with using them when they suit us better. But I love how whenever I'm ready to get back into routine and I ask my DD to choose between a disposable and a cloth diaper, she ALWAYS chooses cloth! So obviously they're much more comfortable as well :-) plus my little nudist can't pull them off, whereas the disposables get pulled off and left wherever while she runs off to play elsewhere!

I have to say, though, that cloth diapers are not a guarantee of early potty training. My little guy didn't seem to mind a dirty diaper and was totally freaked out by sitting in the potty. Then at 4.5, we potty trained him in a week. Some kids aren't ready until they are older.
Thinking of doing diaper service again for the twins.
We are using cloth. We did with our first as well. We used disposables until his cord fell off and he had the worst diaper rash until we switched to cloth. He's 16 months and has never had diaper rash in cloth. They're cheap, easy to maintain and cute!
I vote prefolds and covers for newborns. Pockets around 14-16 lbs worked best for us.

Another plus, our cloth diapers don't smell bad. Soiled disposables whether they are just wet or poopy reak! Disposables leak all the time. Poor ds always had poop up his back and no matter how quickly diapers were changed we had horrible rashes (brand didn't really matter). My cloth diapers very rarely leak and dd almost never has a rash (usually food related if she gets one.)

Man who interviewed Todd Akin from Poplar Bluff
Tuesday, August 28, 2012
POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. -- When Poplar Bluff native and veteran journalist Charles Jaco sat down to interview Rep. Todd Akin, he knew from experience the conservative Republican would likely share opinions considered to be controversial.
However, Jaco admits he could not predict the U.S. Senate candidate would make a statement so contentious it would capture national attention in the week leading up to the Republican National Convention and cost Akin the support of his party.
Jaco is a 1968 graduate of Poplar Bluff High School, who says one of the greatest influences in his life was English teacher Richard Minetree.
He recently discussed his time in Poplar Bluff, his career, his interview with Akin and its potential impact on state and national elections.
Akin shared his opinion against abortion on the "Jaco Report" one week ago Sunday, explaining he understood a woman could prevent conception in cases of "legitimate rape." Akin has since said he misspoke.
The congressman has far-right conservative opinions and after six terms, there is nothing new about that, Jaco said.
"I just knew he was going to be Todd Akin and pretty much say what he thought, even when what he thought offended a lot of people," Jaco said.
It was the fourth or fifth controversial statement Akin had made during the interview, Jaco recalled. The most important, he thought at the time, was when Akin said maybe it was time to repeal the voting rights act of 1965.
"After a while, he says so much stuff, your mind is kind of reeling …," Jaco said.
When Akin explained his opinion of abortion, Jaco was surprised, but only in retrospect. It was not something he or others in the newsroom realized the significance of at the time.
"Maybe we were just used to listening to congressman Akin for a dozen years," Jaco said.
Jaco has interviewed Akin several times since returning to Missouri more than a decade ago.
Before that he was a war correspondent. He covered the invasion of Iraq, the first Gulf War for CNN in 1991, the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989, wars throughout Africa in 1985 and almost every war and conflict in Latin America since the late 1980s.
He took a position in St. Louis in radio, then later television, to be near his mother who was seriously ill. She had lived in Poplar Bluff until that time.
"I moved here to St. Louis … so I could be close to her," he said. "It wasn't terribly much of a transition, because coming back here was all about family to begin with."
Jaco was born at Doctor's Hospital, attending first and second grade in Poplar Bluff, before the family moved to Chicago. He returned in time to attend high school here and, like many students, formed a lasting relationship with Minetree.
"Dick Minetree was one of the guide stars for what I've become simply because he was such a great teacher," Jaco said, describing Minetree as " a gentleman and a gentle man."
Jaco gave the eulogy at Minetree's funeral in 2007.
Both Minetree and former PBHS English teacher Clint Summers made their students think, Jaco said.
"They were not so much about teaching you the subject matter, although they were and they did a great job of it, but they taught you how to think and I'm really indebted to those guys," he said.
Jaco visited Minetree often over the years, saying he took from those later conversations encouragement to ask questions and to see life as a continuing process of education.
From his years as a war correspondent, Jaco said he has gained an appreciation for what war does to innocent people, especially children, whether it is in Mozambique or Nicaragua or Iraq.
"One moment I think that stands out to me the most, I was in a refugee camp in Ethiopia in 1985. When you saw literally thousands and thousands of people who were on the edge of starvation, children that were no bigger than kittens, shuddering and then dying. That's probably the one thing that will stick with me about longer than anything else," Jaco said.
Today, he says he is no different from anyone else in journalism, just trying to do the best job he can.
Age and experience have made it easier to see when someone is not telling the complete truth or is trying to shade things, Jaco continued.
"It's almost like you're sitting at the United Nations and someone's giving a speech in a foreign language and there's a translator in your ear," he said. "You hear someone talking, but there's a voice in your head trying to parse out what they mean to say … especially when you deal with people in the corporate world or with political figures."
Jaco is blunt in his opinion of the Republican party's response to Akin's statements.
"I'm very surprised that the Republican Party has tried to sandbag Akin as hard as they have," he said, adding, "The Republican Party has known very well who Todd Akin was and what he stands for for a dozen years now. He's a six-term congressman. None of this is a surprise. So why the sudden expressions of outrage right now?"
He noted the Republican platform does not make exceptions in its position against abortion for victims of rape.
"They're not condemning his comments, they're just saying, tactically, he can't win," Jaco said.
Akin has been encouraged to leave the race against incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill by the presumed Republican presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate, Mitt Romney and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, as well as former Missouri U.S. senators from John Danforth to John Ashcroft.
Despite that, Jaco believes Akin will not be swayed from continuing in this race.
"I still have, believe it or not, a good relationship with him and his campaign. I've received no indication he's going to do anything except stay in the race," Jaco said. "I see no indication Todd Akin is going to drop out of this race … because like him or hate him, he believes he's on a mission from God, quite literally."
Akin is very much a literal, biblical fundamentalist, according to Jaco, and whether the public applauds what he says or is appalled by it, he bases it essentially on scripture.
"Political appeals are not going to get him out of this race. Moral appeals might, but even that might not," Jaco said.
The affect on the presidential campaign has been to drive Romney off message. In a recent interview with a CBS affiliate, what made news were the issues Romney would not talk about, abortion and Akin, Jaco said.
"I think it really damages him and I think it really damages the vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan because Ryan and Akin co-sponsored a bill in the House to redefine rape," he said. "It was related to abortion. I do not see this as being anything but bad for the Republican party."
