Millions Of US Teens May Be Missing Out On Annual Medical Checkups[1],[2] And The Opportunity To Be Screened For Health Risks[3]
WASHINGTON, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Approximately one-third of teens may be missing annual checkups at a time of risk-taking and exploration, according to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services [1] and the latest US Census. [2] But this time is also an opportunity to develop attitudes and lifestyles that can set them up for better health. To increase opportunities to discuss key health-related problems and behaviors, from diet and fitness, to signs of emotional distress, injury prevention, and developmental challenges, health experts advocate for annual checkups for adolescents. [3],[4]To better understand perceptions about teen health that may contribute to missed annual checkups, the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID), in collaboration with and with support from Pfizer Inc, conducted a survey of more than 2,000 parents, teens, and healthcare professionals. On Tuesday, April 16, NFID will bring together leading experts on health and teen issues to reveal the findings and discuss misperceptions identified in the survey. WHO :

Football must lead the fight against racism inside and outside of the game, Michel Platini, head of the sport's European governing body UEFA told a United Nations meeting on Monday.
As the globe's most popular sport, the iconic former France international said, football has a particular role to play in confronting prejudice.
"With extraordinary popularity comes responsibility," Platini told campaigners and diplomats at a session on racism and sport hosted by the UN's European offices in Geneva.
"Football is honour-bound, by virtue of that very popularity, to promote values which are able to make society more tolerant of diversity," he said.
Over recent years, UEFA and its global football counterpart FIFA have boosted their arsenal of sanctions against racism.
Among the weapons deployed are financial penalties and empty-stadium orders against clubs and national teams whose fans are involved in racist incidents.
"Those who govern our game have a duty to protect players, who are in their workplace, against all forms of discrimination," Platini said.
"Today's football does not tolerate any discrimination, whether it be racial, cultural, religious, sexist or homophobic, and there's no hierarchy of evil," he added.
But with high-profile cases continuing to hit the headlines -- most recently in Great Britain, Italy and Ukraine -- campaigners argue that more effort is needed.
"There's a real problem with racism in some regions of Europe, for sure," said Platini.
"This behaviour is largely down to small organised groups who choose to express their hatred in a football stadium in order to take advantage of the popularity and media coverage enjoyed by our sport."
But the broader context could not be ignored, he said.
"Football reflects society's values but also, unfortunately, its prejudices, fears and mistrust," he underlined.
"Football is just the tip of the iceberg in societies in which, given the current crisis, the process of social integration is breaking down. But it's precisely because football is often more open to diversity than wider society that it enables advance that would be more difficult in other areas,"

I Am Malala
In her only Australian radio interview of 2013, Malala Yousafzai told Breakfast of her incredible story of survival and her ongoing struggle for the rights of girls in Pakistan. One year after she was shot in the head by the Taliban, Ms Yousafzai remains defiant in the face of continuing threats.
In October 2012, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban in her hometown in the Swat Valley, Pakistan.
An outspoken campaigner for girls' education in the region, she was seen as a threat to the Taliban's desire to ensure young women had no access to education.
Surgery and a slow recovery followed, but on 12 July 2013, Ms Yousafzai addressed the UN in New York to reaffirm her commitment to her cause.
In her only Australian radio interview, Malala Yousafzai told Breakfast that the Taliban's attempts to silence her have only made her, and her desire to change the lives of girls around the world, stronger.
'I think the Taliban only reminded me of the threat that they had already given me,' she said.
We realised that these terrorists are afraid of the power of women and they are not letting us to go to school because if we go to school, education will make us more powerful.Malala Yousafzai
'They wanted to silence me but as well they wanted to silence every girl who wanted to speak at that time. But instead of silencing one girl, many millions of girls raised their voice under the banner of I Am Malala.'
'You can see that today I'm surviving, so it shows that their threats cannot stop our campaign and neither can it stop me. It can only kill a body, but it does not mean it would stop our campaign.'
'We will still continue and we will still struggle for it. We are not afraid of their threats.'
At the age of 10, Ms Yousafzai started blogging for the BBC under a pseudonym, detailing her life under the Taliban in the Swat Valley. As she grew older she became a more vocal, and public, campaigner.
Ms Yousafzai says she was inspired by her father to speak out against the Taliban after their arrival in 2007.
'Before this "Talibanisation" we were thinking that going to school and doing homework... is just a normal part of life,' she told Breakfast.
'When the terrorists came to Swat in 2007, at that time they banned girls education, they were against the freedom of women, they stopped women going to market. They also slaughtered people, they flogged women, and they blasted more than 400 schools at that time.'
'We realised that these terrorists are afraid of the power of women and they are not letting us to go to school because if we go to school, education will make us more powerful.'
Her father was a great supporter of her cause, and Ms Yousafzai says he just wanted the best for his daughter.
'My father was an example for me. We also learned from great people like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. Benazir Bhutto was one of the examples for girls especially, and [she] shows us that a woman can be a leader, a woman can do politics and a woman can be Prime Minister.'
'My father is a great father because he accepted me as a free human being, and he gave me equal rights as my brothers have,' she said.
'He told me that, "Malala, you are free as a bird and you just go on". He did not cut my wings and he just let me to fly and he supported me in my campaign for girls' education.'
'He also showed me an example because he was also struggling for women's rights and for girls' education.'
As a 10-year-old reading Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series with her friends, Malala compared the arrival of the Taliban in the night to the arrival of vampires in the famous books.
'It was the month of January 2009 that we heard the news on the radio that no girl is allowed to go to school,' she said.
'I felt that these are the darkest days of my life, and I felt that we are just thrown back into the Stone Age, because in this 21st century where even disabled children are given education we girls were stopped from going to school.'
'In the month of January I started writing for BBC and as well as the New York Times documentary.'
She says she agreed to write for Western news outlets because she saw it as the only way she could contribute to liberating her family, friends and herself from the situation they found themselves in.
'The first thing was that we were already living in a very dangerous situation. That's why we spoke: we did not want to be in that hard situation forever. We wanted to speak up for our rights.'
'At that time I know it was hard to speak, but we needed someone... to solve all these problems. And I think we thought at the time, "why should we wait for someone else to come and speak up for us?".'
On 9 October, 2012, Ms Yousafzai's personal battle with the Taliban led to the assassination attempt that would transform her world forever.
She says that while she doesn't remember the moments leading up to the attack, she recalls that the day was eerily quiet, and her normally bustling village was almost deserted. She has pieced together the events of that day with the help of her friends, who were with her when the attack occurred.
'That boy came to the back of our school [bus] and the other boy, who was with that boy, he was talking to the driver,' she said.
'He was asking him, "We want to talk to our sisters at the back". The one boy who shot me came at the back and he asked: "Who is Malala?"'
'Some of the girls looked at me. That boy did not even give me the chance to answer his question. Then he shot me.'
The first bullet hit her in the left side of her forehead, passing down through her neck and into her left shoulder. Two other bullets hit her friends.
She was taken to the hospital by the driver of the bus, who has since been taken into army custody and is yet to be released.
'The sad thing about this story is that those boys who shot me and who did a bad thing, they are still free. But the driver, who saved my life, who took me to the hospital on time, he is still in the custody of [the] army,' she said.
'I want those criminals to be brought to the court and to be asked and I want them to be sent to jail.'
Ms Yousafzai was flown from Pakistan to Birmingham in the UK for emergency surgery. After week-long coma, the teenager, who had never left Pakistan, had many questions for her doctors.
'The first thing that I remember when I woke up in Birmingham was that I was really happy to come out of that seven day coma and those dreams of seven days when I tried to wake up but I couldn't,' she told Breakfast.
'When I woke up I thanked God that yes, I am alive, I am surviving, I am not dead.'
Remarkably, she was more worried about her hospital bills and the impact they may have on her poor family than her condition, or extreme relocation.
'The first thing was where were my mother and father? I used to ask every doctor and every nurse, and I used to write it on a paper because I could not speak at that time because there was a tube in my neck that was breathing for me,' she said.
She started thinking about her options, planning an escape—and a payment plan—after she had seen a concerned doctor speaking to a group of nurses.
'He was talking to the nurses but I could not hear him properly. My mind was telling me that Malala, he is angry with you. He is saying to the nurses that we cannot afford all the money we are spending on this girl, no one is here to pay for her, just throw her out of this hospital,' she said.
'[I decided] I would go outside and I would start a job—a poor kind of job—and then I would earn some money and then later on I'll buy a mobile phone and I'll call my father then we would be like a happy family and a happy ending would be there.'
'The second question that I wrote was "I don't have money and who will pay for me?". Then he told me that "you don't worry and everything is fine and you must have some rest".'
Incredibly, things are fine, just a year on. Ms Yousafzai has recovered remarkably, regaining the use of speech, writing a book, and travelling around the world to promote the cause of girls' education globally.
Using her doctor's iPhone to 'Google' herself in the days following her attack, she was surprised, and a little embarrassed, to find that former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had started a global petition called 'I am Malala', while celebrities such as Beyonce, Angelina Jolie and Madonna were publically supporting her cause, and got in contact personally.
'At that time I did not know that the whole world was supporting me,' she said.
'Especially Mr Gordon Brown, because he started a campaign for education. That was truly unbelievable for me, to see that the whole world is supporting me in my cause of education.'
'And they have prayed for my new life, and that is why I believe I got a second life, because people prayed and because God was with me. That is why I am thinking that I will never lose hope and I will continue my struggle for girls' education.'
Given an incredible second chance, Malala Yousafzai wants to use her voice to continue her work in Pakistan—despite the continued threats against her life.
She has set up Malala Fund, a charity and advocacy group that will build schools and encourage parents, teachers and students in disadvantaged nations to pursue education for all girls. She also wants the fund to give young girls a platform to raise their voice in societies where such actions are frowned upon.
'I think we all want to develop in a prosperous future. For that reason, why shall I wait for someone else?'
'All the time we are angry with the politicians, that they are not doing anything, they are not working for the development of our country, so that's why I am thinking that I must be the honest politician and the next prime minister of Pakistan, and I must go and I must work for it and I must work for the education of every child.
'So instead of blaming others, why don't I go and do it?'

From time to time, the West will provide a justification for its war crimes. A dose of feel good drug is flashed on TV screens. A young victim of the war like Malala Yousafzai, who allegedly shot by Afghan fighters (Taliban), is used as a tool to convince Westerners that the war is justified to protect women and children. People in the imperialist West need to feel good about themselves as their governments race to save the native girl (woman) from the savage Muslim men of her home nation, Pakistan. Of course, there are no names for the millions of women and children killed by Western governments and no mentions of their names at the UN. How many girls have been raped and murdered in Iraq? Where are those Western criminals who committed the crimes?

Get real - I mean "Allegedly" shot by the Taliban???? Taliban commanders lately have been publicly announcing they will kill her if they possibly get a chance. Everyone with any sense knows the US military involvement in afghanistan had nothing to do with womens rights - it had to do with direct Taliban hosted and backed attack on the US. The intervention in Iraq, you could say was imperialist and encouraged by some Israelis. there is a divide a rule legacy in the boundaries of Muslim countries post WW1 but most of the violence in the middle east and muslim countries is sunni-shia hatreds and violence over degrees of religiousity. What has Al Queda done for the well being of Muslims??
Anyway, many of the September 11 highjackers were trained at the London School of Economics, learning what they wanted to hear. So they were not taught that the west is flawed like all cultures but rather that the West is supposedly the source of All Evil in the World

Pilger has the same argument as Chomsky; the US and its allies are fighting terrorism. It is a rusty argument and has no basis. The attack on the Nairobi Westgate mall "does nothing to further the aims of either Somali nationalism or sharia law, as espoused by the original Al-Shabaab movement, which seeks the withdrawal of Kenya forces from Somalia". The aim is to legitimize the occupation of Somalia by Kenyan troops and their US-NATO masters. The security company protecting the shopping mall is an Israeli company which serves Zionist interest. As the Japanese journalist Yoichi Shimatsu writes: "From the onset of the police-military siege of Westgate, Israeli intelligence agencies assumed a key advisory role to the Kenyan police and directed the public-information releases, according to news reporters on the scene. As in many sensitive police-intelligence operations, information releases to the media are "strategic", a euphemism for psychological operations". You know the rest.

Given the outrageous exploitation of The Middle East for more than a century by Western business interests and their political and military servants, the anger expressed by Ghali is as understandable as it is misdirected.
Ghali and others ignore the terrible crimes committed in the name of Islam and in the name of nationalism.
What about the murderous attacks on innocent Greeks in Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s? What about the mass rape of Bengali Moslem women by Pakistani soldiers prior to the independence of Bangla Desh? No Western involvement there. What about all the market bombings and street murders of good Moslems who were simply trying to feed their families? Thousands martyred or mutilated.
I ask Ghali and others to praise the good work we see on our TV every day being done by Moslem doctors, nurses, ambulance and hospital staff, often at great risk to their own lives, to save the lives of those injured by senseless shootings and bombings.
Further, I ask Ghali and others to emulate the father of Malala Yousafzai, he is an inspiring example of a good Moslem father. It is sad to think that no matter what precautions are taken, that family will be martyred sooner or later.

Hoyer told reporters Tuesday that Reid's move doesn't really change the calculus in the House, where Democratic leaders already planned to write a public insurance option into their bill.
But he indicated it could improve the chances of a public insurance option ending up in final legislation sent to the president.
Hoyer said the development in the Senate also could affect decisions by some House members who don't want to vote for a provision that could only pass the House but not the Senate.
House leaders hope to release their bill this week, Hoyer said.

A few weeks ago, James Donaldson's campaign consultant was dumpster-diving for office supplies. Today he finds himself climbing the polls in the mayoral race, right at the heels of Jan Drago. The SurveyUSA/KING-5 poll puts Greg Nickels in first with 24%, Drago second with 15%, James Donaldson third with 14%, Michael McGinn fourth with 8%, and Joe Mallahan fifth with 7%. The biggest shift since the last poll was Donaldson's move from 9% to 14%, though that is barely outside the margin of error.
Some interesting breakdowns--Drago's in the lead among Republicans and conservatives, Donaldson among independents and among the 35-49 age group (the group, incidentally, that grew up watching him in the NBA), and Nickels among Democrats and liberals. Also interesting--Drago's support goes up as voters' ages go up, while the inverse is true for McGinn.
The survey also asked about the shopping bag fee, and so far it looks like a toss-up. 47% for, 46% against with a 4.5% margin of error. Nickels voters love it, Donaldson voters hate it, and Drago voters aren't too hot on it either.

Warning... Venting here: I have been sooooo nauseas lately.┬Ā Yesterday, I could not move without being sick which is a challenge since we already have two.┬Ā Today I started off my morning by vomiting stomach bile.┬Ā My husband is an ortho surgical resident and totally in his own world, and gave me gigantic attitude when he had to help out around the house when he got home last night.┬Ā He acted as though I was relaxing eating bon bons all day.┬Ā Argh, it made me so mad.┬Ā I'm sure that it is just raging hormones, or just anger from feeling so sick for so long, but I didn't even┬Āwant to speak to him after that.┬Ā I feel disgusting all day long, and he can't even do the dishes without sighing as though someone was about to perform surgery on him.┬Ā This was a planned┬Āpregnancy too, so he knew what was coming.┬Ā Sorry for the rant I know that this was┬Āprobably totally unhelpful for anyone other than myself.┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā
My hubby is having a hard time understading that I am not my usual OCD self....he doesnt usually mind since it give him a break from making sure his clothes is not on the ground, or his shoes are in the living room...lol...I had a mini break down today since I went to the store and got EVERYTHING with fiber along with metamucil...and any fruits and veggies i can actually keep down. I got home and was so upset that just from going to the store and doing dishes I was exhausted and back started to ache like i had hiked 10 miles. I am so happy that I am pregnant but this will have to take some getting used to. I am usually alwasy on the go and its hard to just do one thing and get so tired that i cant move to get to anything else.
I asked my husband to throw away the left over fajitas from last night since he forgot to put them away and he went ahead and threw them in the kitchen trash...yet didn't take the trash OUT so my whole kitchen smelled like fajitas...Lets say I prayed to the porcelin gods this morning..

This chapter reviews the treatments that can be offered to help people overcome the sexual problems and dysfunctions that might arise from the experience of sexual assault. The patient or client can be either male or female, but will generally be referred to as 'she' for brevity, as therapists are still more likely to be asked to treat females who have been assaulted than males, though the specific problems and needs of male patients will be considered. The case histories used to illustrate the types of problem encountered are composite accounts with significant details altered to protect confidentiality.
Although common sense predicts that the experience of being sexually assaulted is likely to cause sexual dysfunction, there has been relatively little research in this area compared with the rapidly growing evidence of the long-term harm that can be attributed to childhood sexual abuse. Research design is difficult, as gathering information from clinic populations is likely to overestimate levels of sexual dysfunction, given that only those people who are experiencing difficulties will be referred for help. Becker, Skinner, Abel, and Treacy (1982) tried to overcome this by advertising for subjects from a range of clinical and non-clinical sources. They interviewed a very mixed population of women who had experienced sexual assault or incest. Of the 22 women who had been raped, around 60% reported a fear of sex, arousal dysfunction, and desire dysfunction which they attributed to the impact of the assault.
This study suggests quite high levels of psychosexual morbidity in this group, but a comparison is needed with the background levels of sexual

So pretty!!
The lip-combo is to die for!!
This is lovely! Just thought I'd say this also could be titled a "traffic stoplight look." 😛
not to be mean but it looks like the green is just put there last minute. it's so out of place. the gold cranberry eye was much better!
Love the green at the inner corner and the reddish in the crease 😀
again more inspirtaion from you Christine…I once saw this look but changed it slightly and used sumptuous olive, goldmine and star violet. I loved it so much I actually wore it twice in one day again the next. I'm now browsing the site for something to wear to work tomorrow. The new iphone is being released and my store is going to be swamped as all hell. (I work at a Starbucks in a mall) I wanted to do something interesting for a crazy day.

So happy to be C's mommy since 3/07 and K's mommy since 1/12
The Harmony Defender (only at Walmart) is $97 and seems like a good seat from those who have tried it.
We have a Maestro for my son in my husband's car. My son likes it. He has complained once that the straps were hurting his neck (they are pretty narrow and don't have harness covers). I wouldn't really want to use it every day though. The harness is outgrown by height about the same time as it is outgrown in booster mode since the headrest/belt guides do not raise. It is a good harnessed seat for the price, but I wouldn't count on using it as long lasting booser later.
If you could swing $205. The Britax Frontier 85 would be my top recommendation by FAR. We just got one for my son in my car so we could pass his Boulevard down to my 10 month old daughter. Albeebaby.com has them for $205 with no tax and free shipping. Amazon.com has them the same price but because I live in WA state I would have had to pay sales tax through Amazon.

I would go with nautilus (good prices at walmart and target) or the harmony defender 360- its new and only at walmart stores- which is the same concept as the nautilus, but cheaper. we just got one for ODS who is 5 and around 40lbs and 42inches. it's only $99.
Mommy to Gavin Reilly 10/23/07 & Oliver Cash 5/17/12 & Sullivan Jude 12/2/2014.
Agree with others. The Maestro is a great seat and the best deal in ffing seats, but it's basic and a good back up/travel/secondary if you can afford a comfier seat or one with better weight limits or features. But there's nothing bad about it for being so cheap- very safe for the right age/size child and a snap to install. I would also go with the Nautilus or Defender in your case since it will be his primary mode of transportation for many more years now.

As we reported the other day, the so-called $700 billion bank "bailout" money is going to healthy, not ailing banks, under the government's newest plan, with seven Washington banks receiving $793 million of that money. A Treasury Department spokesperson told us they review financial records to
determine which institutions are in good shape before inviting them to
apply for funds.
But then, it's a government program, so believe nothing. Proof? The biggest state recipient of the oxymoronic healthy-bailout program was Sterling Financial of Spokane, receiving $303 million after claiming to be on solid financial footing.
Yesterday, about two months after getting the funds, Sterling said it was in trouble. All of its 2008 profit has been wiped out and it will halt cash dividends until further notice.
The irony: Sterling now seems to qualifying for a bailout under the original government plan. But, now that the bank could be failing, the changed program likely can't help further. Great plan everyone.

Farmer's Market business picking upPublished 12:47pm Thursday, June 27, 2013
Joy Harris
Special to the Enquirer
The Hartselle Farmer's Market allows local farmers to sell their produce themselves on their own time.
The market's sign on Sparkman Street says the Farmer's Market is open from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but the local farmers usually set up around 7:30 a.m. and stay until they sell out or around 2 p.m.
"After about 2 p.m. it gets too hot to be out," local farmer Billy Brown said. "When it's too hot, people don't want to be out buying produce in it, so it's time to pack up and go home."
Some sellers come every day, but some farmers only sell every other day.
"I sell at the market on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays," Brown said. "I don't pick but every other day."
This year's unseasonably cool weather of late spring has negatively affected many crops, making business at the Farmer's Market slow this season.
"Lots of crops are about two weeks late this year because of the weather," Henry Springer said. "Normally I have green beans, cabbage, onions, squash and okra by this time, but so far I'm only selling squash and green beans. I should have peas and tomatoes soon. They are a little late, too."
Springer has been selling his produce at the Farmer's Market for about 15 years now.
The Farmer's Market has not seen a lot of customers in the last couple weeks, but business has slowly started to grow in the last week.
"The last couple weeks have been so slow," Brown said. "I just stayed out here to pass time even though there was hardly any business. I'm retired, so I can do that."
"Business has been way too slow, but I guess it has picked up a little. I should think about going back to my real job," local produce seller Don McCutcheon joked.

My home network is proving very unreliable. Setup as follows -
Upstairs Office - All ethernet wired
- Switch connected to downstairs router
- Desktop PC
- Windows Home Server
- Oki Printer
Downstairs Wired
- BT Home Hub (central point for network)
- Linksys Wireless Access Point
- 2 x Xbox 360
- HP Printer
- Xerox Printer
- Brother printer
- 2 x Dell Laptop
- Toshiba Laptop
- Android Tablet
- 2 x Windows Phone
- Android Phone
- Xbox 360
Think that's everything. I've put a diagram of it here if that helps.
I'm having various problems that I'm not sure how to attack.
- All cabling, network cards and switchs are 10/100, yet some connections show as 10 only
- The wireless devices struggle to hold a reliable connection. We've had them connected to various all in one devices like the home hub and none have been reliable. I've recently introduced the Linksys wireless access point to try and get a reliable connection, yet still I frequently (several times each evening) have the laptops lose their wireless connection. This shows as the warning sign on the network symbol in the status bar. The wireless router can still be seen but the quickest way to get the connection back is to disconnect and reconnect. This happens instantly and the connection is restored instantly. But it's happened with all wireless access points/routers we've had and all the devices (Toshiba laptop and both Dells) so I can't see how it's hardware related
- The Xbox 360's sometimes lose the ability to see the media shares on the home server. When this happens the PC's and laptops can still see them, just the 360's that can't. We had this for the last week. Tonight the media shares suddenly reappeared when I went to have another go at fault finding on them.
- The laptops struggle to connect to a file share on the home server. When you attempt to access the file share you can sometimes be waiting for 30 seconds to a minute for a directory listing to appear. You can even get the file share showing as unaccessible, despite one of the 360's at the time being in the middle of streaming a movie from the same device
Think that's all the problems. I'm a software developer with experience of setting up networks and servers etc, but not going right down into the nitty gritty of the set ups. I understand much of the terminology, but don't know which tools to use and where to start in trying to untangle this web and sort the problems. The problems that are most annoying are 3 and 4 currently, but I'd like to resolve them all if I can.
Can anyone offer any pointers to other posts/resources/books/tools that could help with fault finding this mess please?
Never considered until now, but my Xbox 360 controllers are also proving problematic to connect. It takes a good few minutes for them to connect. Possibly a WIFI signal clash?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A grand jury expected to hear evidence in the Michael Jackson child molestation case could not be seen in the main courthouse early Monday.
Court officials had apparently succeeded in preventing reporters and news camera crews covering the case from locating the grand jurors.
Camera trucks roamed Santa Barbara County and reporters called local hotels in a search for the grand jury meeting area, which was expected to shift daily. News crews set up for live shots outside various court branches but acknowledged they didn't know if the grand jury was inside.
Superior Court Judge Clifford R. Anderson III has banned the media from photographing or speaking to grand jurors. Several reporters questioned spouses of prospective grand jurors as they entered an assembly room late last week, and at least one photographer was forced by a deputy to remove images from his digital camera.
An attorney for news organizations including The Associated Press requested the judge vacate or modify the order, calling it unconstitutionally restrictive. Lawyers on Monday were expected to submit suggestions for modifying the judge's sweeping order.
Jackson, whose Neverland estate is in Santa Barbara County, was charged by the district attorney late last year with seven counts of committing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under age 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent to the child. Jackson has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors are now seeking a grand jury indictment, which would mean they would not have to present evidence at a preliminary hearing to determine if the case should go to trial.
The summons given to grand jurors says they may have to serve up to 90 days.

Agra is situated on the banks of famous river Yamuna is in Western part of Uttar Pradesh State.Agra is a grand old city which is famous in the world for the Taj Mahal, which is one of the seven wonders of the world.It is also famous for the Imperial glory of the Akber the Grate, who followed a policy of national harmony and love and who propagated a new religo called Din-E-liahi which contained in it all the best principles of almost all the religions of the world.Agra is also famous for its cottage industries, for its beautiful gardend of the Mughels, for its narrow lanes, old Bazar of Mughal times.But at the same time for the famous Marble items, leather goods, durries, carpets, iron, foundres and for diesel engine pumpsets and generating sets.Some historians identify Agra with the "Agra Vana" of the Mahabharat period.It is also said that there was a big prison house of King Kansa, in Agra who was the maternal uncle of Lord Sri Krishna.The Kansgate situated in Gokulpura, area of modern Agra in the Raja ki Mandi area of today, is a testimony of this historical fact.There is another view prevalent about Agra, that is was founded by the matemal grand father of Lord Krishna, whose name was'Maharaja Agrasen' or 'Ugrasen'.Sfter sometime the name was spoilt and ultimately, it come to be know as Agra.By and by Agra started losing its ancient glory and it become a neglected city.It is said that Agra turned into a deserted and destroyed city, which lost its glorious position.Sikandar Lodi made it his capital.Sikander Lodi was an eagle-eyed military general, who spotted Agra as a most suitable site to serve as his military head quarters and it became the seat of his Govermment in 1504 A.D.There was an old fort of the Hindu King which was called Badalgarh, built by a Hindu King named Badal Singh.later on, when Sikander Lodi, decided to estsblish Agra as his military camp, he got demolished this age old Badaigarh fort and constructed a new fort on the same foundation and the same site.Sikandar Lodi also constructed so many buildings in Agra and adorned this old age city.The Baradari at Sikandra is a cler testimony to it.This new city Sikandra is about 12 Km from Agra its north on Agra-Delhi National Highway No. 2.
Shah Jahan's earlier name was Khurram.He was born on 5th january 1592 at Lahore, Khurram, who was a great military general and who owned so many famous battles to his credit, was considered to be the future Emperor of India.Prince Khurram, with the help of Mahavat Khan and his father-in-law and brother of Noor Jahan, named Aasaf Khan, defeated his brother and become the 5th Mughal Emperor of India Feb 1628 to 1658, after getting killed all his remaining brothers.Aasaf Khan was made the-Prime Minister and the rank of Mahavat Khan was increased to be for 7000 'Jat' and 7000 riders.
Shah Jahan was very much fond of constructing huge buildings, edifices, palaces and huge monuments.He converted Agra into gold to glitter and silver to shine.Shah Jahan was married to Arjumand bano April 1612.She entangled Shah Jahan in her love.He was committed to 'Mum-Taj Mahal' (Beautiful-Crown-Palace) for the erection of a beautiful mausoleum in her memory after her death.So when Mumtaj Mahal died in 1631 at the time of a delivery in Burhanpur. Shahjahan was shocked badly, after some time he constructed 'The Taj Mahal' in her memory which is called a dream in white marble.It is one of the seven wonders of the world.
He founded Shahjahanabad which is Old Delhi of today.He made huge and beautiful buildings such as Red Fort, Jama Masjid and the beautiful Peacock throne the 'Takhte-Taus' was made of gold worth one Lakh Tolas.On this a beautiful peacock was made of bright gems.The ceiling of this throne too was made of gold, jewels, diamonds with a beautiful border of pearls.This throne was supstaircase of silver to ascend the throne.This wonderful throne was carried away by Nadir Shah to Persia in 1736.
Shah jahan passed his old age in disgust and agony.There were so many reason for this.First of all he lost his beloved wife in the mid days of the worldly life, secondly, he remained sick most of the days.Thirdly he was imprisoned by his youngest son Aurangzeb in Red Fort at Agra 8 years 1658 to 1666.Not only this Aurangzeb murdered all the remaining sons of Shan Jahan.It was only Jahanara Begum the beloved daughte of Shan Jahan, who remained throughout her life with her father-even in the jail.Jahanara was most instrumental in helping her ailing old father for a 'Jharokha' or a glimpse of the beautiful Taj from the roof of Red Fort of Agra.On Monday 22 January 1666 A.D.Shan Jahan requested Jahan Ara to put his neck a bit above so as to enable the old emperor to have a last glimpse of the beautiful Maosoleum,which was built in the sacred memory of his beloved Mumtaj Mahal.He expressed his last desire to be burried beside hi lover-queen Mumtaz and after this he started for a permanent voyage to heaven on 31th January 1666 A.D.Brutal son Aurangzeb, could not even attend the burial and the greatest and the grandest Shah Jahan was carried away to be burried by the servants and ennachs of side of Mumtaz. Aurangzeb reached Agra after about a month just to fulfil a formality of putting of a marble enclosure in place of Silver around his parent's cenotaph.
Later on Jahan Ara also died in 1681 A.D. after fifteen years of the death of her father.
Mumtaz Mahal, this title was conferred on the beloved wife of Emperor Shah Jahan and whose actul name was Arjumanad Bano Begum.She was Persian by blood and was born 6th April 1593 and married to Prince Khurram (Emperor Shahjahan).She was the second wife of Shanjahan.At the time of marriage she was only nineteen.Her father Asaf Khan was at a lower post in the court of Jahangir and was brother of Noor Jahan.Shah Jahan bestowed upon her greatest degree of love becose of her unusual charm, sincerity and pleasing manners.Mumtaz had major say in the administration during the regin of Shahjahan.She was the chief advisor to the Emperor and the seal of authority was always in her possession.
This beautiful and mentally alert lady stood by Shahjahan through thick and thin.Mumtaz spend 19 years of married life with Shahjahan.During this period she solved many administrative problem and gave a good account of her presence of mind.She was also popular for her social welfare activities.She was regarded a good refuge for all those who were distressed and poor.Mumtaz gave birth 14 children.She fell seriously ill at Burhanpur at the time of her fourteenth delivery.At that time Shahjahan was engaged in a war against Khanjahan Lodhi.Every effort was made to save Mumtaz but to no avail.At last, thinking her end to be close, she transferred the responsibility of Shanjahan's care to her daughter, Jahanara.Shanjahan while on her gave a word to effect a benefitting memories of her, the beauty of which would be cherished in the world.When her end was near Shahjahan told how should i make you believe that i love you,it was then that she told him not to marry again and take care of the children.
She dide on 7th june 1631 and was only 39 years old.The whole fo his empire was shrouded was grief on the death of this noble lady.Shahjahan was now no longer intersted in the Durbar and other related Royal functions.
During the time of festivals, Shahjahan used to cry like baby on Mumtaz's Tomb.His beard grew grey in an early age and he become very weak.He tried a lot to forget Mumtaz, but couldn't.Every Friday he used to go Mumtaz's Tomb to read fatiha.

Campaign Crawlers
Ryan Express Ways
In Illinois, hanky-panky is about all that Republicans have going for them.
Bill Clinton goes on a media blitz to promote his memoirs, and wouldn't you know it, a genuine nineties-style sex scandal erupts.
Illinois Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald is retiring, and Jack Ryan is the Republican nominee running for his seat. (Ryan is no relation to former Governor George Ryan, former gubernatorial candidate Jim Ryan, or, for that matter, to the Tom Clancy protagonist of the same name.) With a politically attractive biography -- he ended a lucrative investment-banking career to teach in a inner-city school -- Ryan had the best shot of any of the candidates he trounced in the GOP primary to go up against Barrack Obama, the smart and fresh-faced Democratic nominee, a liberal state senator who was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.
The Chicago Tribune and Chicago TV station WLS, outdoing even the vast right-wing conspiracy that so cruelly dogged the My Life author, sued to have Ryan's divorce papers unsealed over the vigorous objection of him and his ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan (best known as either Ronnie Cooke on Boston Public or Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager, depending on how nerdy you are). There were rumors of embarrassing revelations, and the Illinois media was on a roll: divorce papers had already felled Blair Hull, the frontrunner in the Democratic primary whose support collapsed amid news that he'd physically abused his ex-wife.
It turns out that Jeri Ryan alleged that her husband insisted on taking her to sex clubs during trips to New Orleans, New York, and Paris, where he asked her to perform public sex acts and she angrily refused. Jack Ryan disputed the charges in court, saying "I did arrange romantic getaways for us, but that did not include the type of activity she described. We did go to one avant-garde nightclub in Paris which was more than either one of us felt comfortable with. We left and vowed never to return." Ryan stands by his statement in court now; Jeri Ryan, for her part, won't comment except to say that she now considers her ex-husband a good man and a good father.
As soon as this tawdry tale became public, there was talk of Ryan dropping out of the race. But Ryan has vowed to stay in, and anyway it's hard to see who could take his place and have a serious shot at winning, except perhaps the popular former governor Jim Edgar, who ruled out a run back in the primary season.
Ryan was already the underdog, and this scandal doesn't help matters. The next senator from Illinois will likely be Barrack Obama. Born to a Kenyan father and a white mother, raised middle class, and Ivy League-educated, Obama doesn't come from the Jesse Jackson school of political rhetoric; as a tested black politician with a mostly-white electorate behind him and mainstream voice, he's likely to be a perennial favorite for speculation about Democratic presidential and vice-presidential candidacies.
Illinois is one of several Republican Senate seats that look vulnerable; the others are in Alaska, Colorado, and Oklahoma. (Some analysts would also include Pennsylvania, but I'm not one of them.) Since Democratic seats are vulnerable in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, and South Dakota, a Democratic Senate remains unlikely. For the Illinois GOP -- still smarting from heavy losses it took in 2002 while Republicans prospered elsewhere -- that's small comfort.
