Editor's Note: The search for the passenger was halted at 8 p.m. Saturday night, according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Nick Ameen. He told Cruise Critic that at that time there was "no reasonable expectation that he would be alive."
A 39-year-old passenger on Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sky went overboard early this morning as the ship was sailing toward the Bahamas, according to a statement issued by NCL. "A male guest was reported overboard from Norwegian Sky by occupants of his stateroom who witnessed the incident. The ship immediately began a search and rescue operation and notified relevant authorities."
One interesting note is that the search effort for the missing passenger not only included The Royal Bahamas Defense Force but also crew members from a handful of other cruise ships in the area. The reports noted that Royal Caribbean's Monarch of the Seas, Disney Wonder and NCL's Norwegian Pearl were all in the area and responded to a request for help. The U.S. Coast Guard is participating as well and has three planes in the area.
The NCL statement noted that Norwegian Sky departed Miami on Friday, April 17, on a three-day cruise to the Bahamas. The ship was approximately 60 miles north of Nassau when the incident occurred. As a result of the incident and the ensuing search, the ship has been delayed and only arrived at Nassau at about 2:45 p.m. (missing a half day in port). Norwegian Sky will now overnight in Nassau and depart tomorrow afternoon. It will skip its planned call to Great Stirrup Cay, the cruise line's private island in the Bahamas.

LAREDO, TEXAS (KGNS) -- The U.S. Border Patrol in Laredo says that several agents in the Rio Grande Valley have contracted scabies as a result of contact with detainees.
Even though the skin infection has not been reported among agents here in the Laredo area, they say that they're taking protective measures to make sure agents are checking detainees for rashes and using protective equipment.
A news outlet in the valley reports that 10 to 25 percent of detainees in their area have the infection but claim none of the agents have been infected.

Typical Big East as Top 10 Syracuse goes down to also ran Pitt, shows you how weak the Big East is.
A couple weeks back Penn State women crushed Wisconsin by 40 points. The problem here was the bench not showing up. Maggie Lucas is going to have to carry
Iowa, that's just one match. In March, Penn State will bring their A game, they are still the defending National Champions, deal with it!
It doesn't matter who created the Manti Te'o charade. The bottom line is that Manti lied well after he knew about to gain sympathy votes for the Heisman trophy.
Who's going to get fired first, French or Oates?
The 76ers should bring back Allen Iverson and put him in the starting lineup and see what happens.

Prosecutors Ask Court To Freeze $30 Million Tied To Alleged Gambling Scheme
Correction appended below.
The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to freeze about $30 million that prosecutors say forms the laundered proceeds of a massive illegal gambling operation in the Dutch Caribbean.
In federal court documents unsealed Friday in Washington, prosecutors said the funds are spread among three UBS investment accounts in Miami held by shell companies, which in turn are controlled by Robertico Alejandro dos Santos, a Curacao national who runs legal gambling operations on both Curacao and St. Maarten under the name "Robbie's Lottery."
Authorities in Curacao have been investigating allegations that dos Santos has collected more than $50 million in illegal profits since 2004 through the sale of forged lottery tickets, using his legitimate businesses as a front, according to court documents.
According to the Aug. 12 application, dos Santos and his wife declared a joint income of $67,500 in their most recent tax return, but prosecutors say they've traced $28 million in the UBS accounts to dos Santos and shell companies he controls.
The bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Dos Santos has not been charged in Curacao. According to local press reports, authorities raided dos Santos businesses and home last month, a flash-point in the three-year investigation.
A lawyer for dos Santos did not respond to a request for comment. Dos Santos has denied the allegations.
On Aug. 12, the Justice Department, acting at the behest of the public prosecutor's office in Curacao, filed an application with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to enforce a restraining order issued by a court in Curacao.
Kollar-Kotelly did not grant the request. Instead, she sharply criticized the Justice Department application, writing that it "does not mention, let alone explain how" the freeze order would be consistent with previous court interpretations of a Patriot Act provision allowing U.S. judges to enforce judgments by foreign courts.
She has asked the Justice Department to back up its legal argument with another brief by Aug. 22.
Congress amended the law in December to give the Justice Department greater flexibility to seek freeze orders against the assets of suspects under investigation by foreign governments.
A previous version of this post misidentified dos Santos's attorney as J. Everett Wilson.

"You can see it's more the North American style. He's got that physical component and he likes to battle -- battle for position, battle for the puck. He goes to the net." -- Dan Marr on Carl Klingberg
The Atlanta Thrashers' 2009 second-round pick scored a pair of goals to help Sweden to a 6-2 defeat of Finland on Thursday in an exhibition game being played as part of USA Hockey's National Junior Evaluation Camp.
Klingberg had sat out the first two games with a sore left foot suffered when he blocked a shot during practice.
Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson had a pair of assists, Sebastian Wannstrom scored on a penalty shot and Sweden captain Anton Lander and William Wallen also had goals.

CREW Statement on Former Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Washington, D.C. — In response to the news that former Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) signed a plea deal with the Department of Justice for converting campaign contributions for personal use, CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan issued the following statement:
"Campaign finance law is clear: Candidates are prohibited from using campaign funds for personal expenses. For Rep. Jackson and all other candidates for federal office, using campaign funds to buy a $40,000 Rolex watch and furniture for one's home isn't just unseemly — it's flat-out illegal.
"With the writing on the wall well in advance of Election Day, and Rep. Jackson's resignation just weeks later, it begs the question whether the former congressman held on to his seat to maintain a stronger bargaining position with prosecutors. The people of Illinois deserve much more from their federally elected officials. While Rep. Jackson will be required to reimburse the government and may face jail time, the disservice to his constituents likely won't be forgotten any time soon."
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a non-profit legal watchdog group dedicated to holding public officials accountable for their actions.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Mickey Mouse ears, Tinker Bell tumblers, Snow White nightshirts and other Walt Disney World souvenirs will be imported through the Port of Jacksonville.
Mickey himself was on hand at the port Tuesday for the announcement by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
So were Gov. Rick Scott, Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll as well as Disney and port officials.
Disney previously imported merchandise for its central Florida attractions through Savannah, Ga. Officials say a quarter of the cargo will continue to flow through the Georgia port but the remaining 75 percent will come through Jacksonville.
It's part of efforts by Scott and Florida business leaders to boost the state's economy by increasing activity at its ports.

On March 29 and 30, the greatest racecar drivers in the world competed on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida in some of the worst weather conditions imaginable. Though the schedule had to be adjusted to accommodate the weather, at least one of the series didn't let a lot of rain, wind, and flooding stand in the way of putting on a good show for the fans.
The Stadium Super Trucks flew through the air over metal ramps placed along the street course, and provided some of the best racing the city had ever seen. On Wednesday, April 23 at 11:00 p.m. Pacific, the NBC Sports Network will air an encore presentation of the Stadium Super Trucks Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, replacing 2 viewings of NHL Top Ten on your programming guide. Be sure to check your local listings for exact time and channel location.
Round No. 4 of the 2014 SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by Traxxas SST season will continue in Indianapolis, Ind. Friday night, May 23.
Be sure to subscribe to the West Palm Beach Motorsports Examiner, and keep track of your favorite racers, no matter how many (or how few) wheels they may or may not race on. If you're a motorsports fan, and know of an event, team, or person you'd like to see profiled, please let me know.

Over here, "Notung" has an interesting article on the standards that bloggers might try to live up to if purporting to run something like a "freethought blog". I think the same issues arise more widely with anything that has pretensions as a philosophy blog.
The post makes much of the principle of charity (read others on the basis that they are probably saying something that's not absurd) and the further principle (which I, at least, strongly associate with Karl Popper) of addressing your opponents' strongest arguments rather than sniping at their weaker arguments (perhaps in an effort to discredit people whose presence and activities seem inconvenient).
As philosophers, we should adopt these principles – or so I think. It seems helpful to use these principles to make intellectual progress and to keep ourselves honest. I do, in fact, try to follow them in my own philosophical work. But … as bloggers we are sometimes more concerned to be political activists than to be dispassionate philosophers keen to make intellectual progress for its own sake. I'm not sure that I want to follow these rules meticulously if objecting to the latest pronouncement by the Pope. Even here, though, I am sometimes dismayed by what look like blatantly illogical and even dishonest arguments from peers and colleagues.
In any event, what standards should we apply to ourselves as bloggers – especially if we also hold ourselves out as philosophers? Discuss.

iPhone 2.2 Review
As an avid iPhone user, I anxiously await each and every new firmware update Apple offers for it. It does sound quite geeky to say that, but Apple always throws in a bunch of goodies with each update that make the iPhone either easier to use or more fun. Sometimes both.
By no means are these updates perfect, and I have personal opinions on certain features the iPhone lacks (*cough* cut and paste *cough*) and Apple refuses to include them for some reason.
This past Friday we witnessed the release of iPhone firmware 2.2. Eagerly, I immediately downloaded it and installed it on my iPhone. While I originally anticipated little change or improvement to my iPhone, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. And it didn't disappoint.
My goal in this review is to cover the new features and how they've impacted my iPhone use.
Google Street View in iPhone 2.2
Google's Street View feature is the defining addition to the 2.2 iPhone firmware update. When I first heard that Street View was coming to the iPhone, my thought was "Apple certainly has some interesting priorities." I figured it would be a mini version of the Street View you can find on the main maps site. Sad to admit, I was wrong.
First, the Street View is fluid and easy to use. On the internet, Street View has arrows to help you adjust the direction of view, ie. if you want to look to the right, click the right arrow. But the iPhone is simpler and smoother. If you want to look to the right, just swipe your finger to the left. The views run together panoramic style and thus there is no interruption in the images. Use multitouch to zoom in and out; double-tap on the street arrows to move further down the street.
Let me share why Street View adds significantly to the iPhone's map application. Let's say you are looking for directions to a friend's house that you've never been to. After following the step-by-step directions, now it's time to find the exact address. If you're like me, this typically entails driving down the street at 10 mph looking at each individual house to see if it matches the house number you're looking for. Now just tap on the pin on the map, find the Street View icon, and the map will magically turn into a picture of the house you're looking for. Still can't find it? Adjust the viewpoint so you can see what side of the road it's on and which houses are next to it.
In the image above, the orange circle with the little guy inside to the left of the restaurant is the Street View icon.
This wasn't the only improvement to the maps. Now you can get walking directions and bus routes as well.
2.2 App Store Changes
A couple important changes occurred in the App Store. Prior to 2.2, when looking through the categories you could only look at one list for each category. The paid and free apps were lumped together and it was a bit difficult to filter through the rapidly growing list. Happily, the 2.2 firmware update changed all that by adding 3 filters within each category: top paid, top free, and release date.
The other change occurs when downloading app updates. With iPhone firmware 2.0, any app (whether on the main page or the last page) would reappear on the front page when a update was downloaded. In 2.1 that hassle was rectified, but the icon would still appear on the front page during the download, and when the download was complete the icon would go back to its original position. Firmware 2.2 tweaks it a little by having the download occur in its original spot.
Podcast Downloading in iPhone 2.2
This change to the iPhone has been my absolute favorite. In the iTunes app on the iPhone, you now can download podcasts directly to the phone, without downloading it to your computer first. You also can stream the podcast without actually downloading it to your iPhone, thus saving space.
Honestly, before 2.2 came out I didn't pay much mind to podcasts in general. I felt it was inconvenient and time-consuming to download to the computer and then sync to the iPhone. Nor did I want to take up crucial space with podcasts. I simply didn't see the value. But I started streaming podcasts while I worked on my computer and a whole new world opened up to me.
The entire stream gets buffered really quickly, so you don't have to constantly be in range of WiFi or 3G once it's buffered. I was able to wander down my street with 3G turned off and listened to a hour-long podcast without any interruption.
Homescreen Shortcut
One particular change to the iPhone 2.2 firmware update is small but definitely clever. I have 6 menu screens and find it a hassle to keep swiping my finger across the screen to get back to the main menu screen. But on 2.2, all you have to do is hit the menu button once (no matter which menu you're looking at) and presto! It moves you back to the main screen.
Other Changes in the 2.2 Update:
When you delete any app from your iPhone, a pop up box appears asking you to rate the application. You can choose from 1-5 stars, or just hit "no thanks" and it will disappear. In my personal opinion, this may skew app reviews a bit, because generally I'm only deleting apps that I don't like or I don't use, which makes for negative ratings.
The firmware update also claims to improve visual voicemail sound quality and reception. I haven't tested either of these out too much yet. But if you have noticed any difference, please leave a comment for us and let us know!
So the iPhone 2.2 update was a lot more useful than I had originally expected. I found the Street View and podcast downloads to be exciting, easy and convenient to use, and I feel that I am getting more out of my iPhone as a result.

text: "Y'all mind if I sing to y'all for one second?" Beyoncé asked the Idol audience during Wednesday's finale night, in what was likely the most rhetorical question in the history of pop music. After watching the women of the Top 13 tackle hit after hit from the Beyoncé catalog ("Get Me Bodied" and "If I Were A Boy" included), the diva instructed said amateurs on how to deliver a classic ballad by debuting "1+1″ off June's 4 (with just the right amount of Whitney Houston-style emphasis on the "oohs"). It's a straight up love song—and an ode to finding one's better half amidst personal crisis, "war," what have you—and obviously a lot meeker than the screaming female empowerment jam that is "Run The World (Girls)." After the single art for "1+1″ was revealed, along with the album's track listing, we now have further proof this will be B's follow-up. "Girls" is growing on us, but considering it did initially divide fans, is an 180-degree turn a good move? Or is "1+1″ still not quite the Beyoncé sound you're looking for? How about we compromise and she just re-releases "Halo" every few months? Great, works for us.

April 23, 2014
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Two members of NIU's women's tennis team have been recognized by the MAC in the conference's yearly awards. Nelle Youel has made Second Team All-MAC, the second year in a row she has been selected to an All-MAC team. Haley Dekkinga was honored with the Leann Grimes Davidge Sportsmanship Award.
"I am very excited for Nelle and Haley," said Head Coach Ryun Ferrell. "Back to back years for Nelle getting recognized is awesome. For Haley to receive the sportsmanship award is great."
Youel put in a strong season in both singles and doubles. She finished with a 15-10 record in singles play overall, going 12-7 in the spring. Youel played all of NIU's No. 1 matches. In doubles, she teamed up exclusively with Arantza De La Torre to produce a 15-11 record in the 2013-14 season. As with singles, Youel played in all of NIU's No. 1 doubles matches this spring.
Dekkinga is the first women's tennis player in NIU history to claim the Leann Grimes Davidge Sportsmanship Award. This award is meant to honor the player who shows the most outstanding sportsmanship among all athletes throughout MAC play. This season, the coaches felt Dekkinga displayed the most sportsmanship out of all the women's tennis players in the MAC.
"Both of these young women do college tennis the right way and represent NIU in amazing fashion," added Ferrell. "I could not be more proud or excited."
The MAC yearly awards are voted on by the coaches of the conference. Each year, they select first and second All-MAC teams. In addition, Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, and Freshman of the Year are awards given to members of the conference. For a complete list of this year's winners, click here.

"To be on the podium in every single event in my career is pretty cool I'm psyched about that," Ligety said. "This course really suits my technique I've been fourth here before. I knew I had a good chance on this kind of hill. It's not a typical downhill and suits guys with more [of a] GS [background]. It's the kind of hill where you have to be gutsy and go for it."
The finish bumped Ligety up to third in the World Cup overall chase with three races remaining.
"It's nice to gain points for third (in World Cup)," he said. "But it's also not the most important race for me here."

First UK gay clergy to marry has license revoked by local bishop
The first gay clergy to marry in the UK has had his permission to operate revoked in one local diocese.
Canon Jeremy Pemberton, 58, a hospital chaplain, was the first member of the clergy to enter into a same-sex marriage, when he wed his partner Laurence Cunnington in April, reports the UK's Pink News.
The Church's governing body, the House of Bishops, has declared that same-sex marriage between clergy be banned.
It was revealed on Sunday that the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, Richard Inwood, has removed Pemberton's Permission to Officiate, revoking his permission to perform services in the diocese.
Inwood said same-sex marriage was clearly at variance with the teaching of the Church of England.
He added: "It said it would not be appropriate conduct for someone in holy orders to enter into a same sex marriage, given the need for clergy to model the Church's teaching in their lives.
"In view of this I have spoken to Jeremy Pemberton and subsequently written to him to tell him his permission to officiate in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham has been revoked."
Pemberton holds his licence in the Diocese of Lincoln – which has not yet revoked it – and he is still employed by the NHS as a chaplain.
Though he declined to comment on the matter, Pemberton has since confirmed that reports are "basically accurate".
Reverend Colin Coward of 'Changing Attitudes' said Inwood took the decision following the instructions of the Archbishop of York.
He added: "The Bishop's action against Jeremy is intolerable. Jeremy and Laurence have married because they love each other and are totally committed to each other.
"Jeremy has a vocation to the priesthood and a particular vocation to hospital chaplaincy."

Having now bought a Wavac EC300B, I am now selling its baby brother the Wavac MD300B.
This is a 120V model and will be supplied with a high quality step down transformer. I have used this as a power amp, but it can be used as an integrated as it has a volume pot.
There is plenty on this amp on the web
I bought this (and the step down) almost exactly a year ago on the Wam from MarthasDad (Lawrence) as my first intro into 300B tubes and I have not been disappointed! The amp is in minty condition with no dinks or scratches etc.
I paid (I think!) around £2250 and offer for sale at £1950 for pick up in beautiful North Yorkshire, including the transformer. The 300B tubes are Electro Harmonix as supplied with the amp by Lawrence and they have seen almost no use this past year as I replaced them with some Shuguang Black Treasures.
I have the original packaging.

Was Peter the First Pope?
This is an easy one. The answer is NO. The Bible doesn't say Peter was the first Pope, only biased Roman Catholic leaders who have never wanted people to read the Bible for themselves.
Peter was a simple, godly, married man who followed Jesus. He was never called "Father", or "Your Holiness", and he certainly never saw himself as a priest who could forgive sins.
The whole idea of the Papacy emerged when, hundreds of years after Christ, the Roman Catholic Church leader took the place of the Roman Emperor. This powerful priest prelate even called himself PONTIFEX MAXIMUS, the title of the Emperor of Rome.
As the Papacy grew more powerful, the Roman Church became a persecuting organization that banned the reading of the Bible. (Google Inquisition or check a good Encyclopedia)
Hundreds of millions accept the idea that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, and is the true leader of the Christian Church. Such a view is totally opposed to the plain teachings of the Holy Scriptures.
Around the world today, millions of earnest Roman Catholics are turning from the man made traditions of the Roman Church to the truths of the Bible. This wide spread movement to follow Christ and His Word alone is a major challenge to the authority of Rome, and will be high on the new Pope's agenda.

How can Peter be the 1st
How can Peter be the 1st Bishop of Rome when in fact Peter did not even set foot in Rome.
I just forgot the verse in the Bible where Jesus himself instructed all the apostles to spread the gospel within the confine of Israel or to the Jews. The task to spread the gospel outside of Israel or to the Gentiles was put on the shoulder of Paul.
Peter would not allow anyone to call him 'Father' or Papa/Pope because 'Father' is only attributed to God the Father.
Peter would not allow to be called 'Vicarius Filii Dei' or substitute of the Son of God because Peter knows that the priesthood of Christ is eternal and can never be substituted.

Nowadays we commonly encounter diabetic cases in our practice. Homoeopathy is considered one of the very best alternative systems for treating Diabetes Mellitus and its complications. Apart from routine investigations like fasting and post prandial sugar level, HbA1C, Renal Function Test, Complete Urine Analysis & Lipid Profile, there is a test to diagnose the very early damage of kidneys and heart in diabetic patients- the level of Microalbuminuria.
Microalbuminuria occurs when the kidney leaks small amounts of albumin into the urine – in other words, when there is an abnormally high permeability for albumin in the renal glomerulus.
Microalbuminuria is probably a misnomer. It is not a "small" albumin molecule found in the urine, but simply albumin present in low amounts, below the level of detection of the standard office multi-test urine dipstick.
Blood contains cells and proteins that we need, as well as waste products that our body needs to get rid of. Blood is filtered by the kidneys and waste products are removed from the body via the urine. Usually, cells and proteins stay in the blood, but sometimes a small amount of protein is lost into the urine along with other waste products.
Microalbuminuria is when the level of the protein albumin in urine is always slightly raised. Microalbuminuria is defined as 30 to 300mg of albumin being lost in the urine per day. This is different from proteinuria, which is when the levels of protein in urine are higher than 300mg a day.
The development of Microalbuminuria has been linked to diabetes. Other than diabetes, risk factors for developing Microalbuminuria include:
Normally, most protein stays in the body, and little or no protein appears in the urine. If albumin is detected in the urine, it signifies that the kidneys may be damaged or not working properly. Increased levels of albumin may occur with:
- Certain immune disorders
- Diabetic Nephropathy
- High blood pressure
- Some lipid problems
The Microalbuminuria Test looks for small quantities of a protein called albumin in a urine sample. Only a small sample of urine needs to be collected. Because the amount of water in urine can vary, it can affect the concentration of albumin. For this reason, the amount of creatinine is also measured. The result is reported as the ratio of albumin to creatinine. This is termed the albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and Microalbuminuria is defined as:
- ACR greater than or equal to 3.5 mg/mmol in female.
- ACR greater than or equal to 2.5 mg/mmol in male.
- Or an ACR between 30 & 300 µg albumin/mg creatinine.
The ratio of albumin to creatinine is usually used to classify diabetic nephropathy. A ratio less than 30 micrograms per milligram is normal.
- A ratio of 30-299 in two different 24-hour urine samples is considered Microalbuminuria.
- A ratio of more than 300 mg is considered Macroalbuminuria.
The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with diabetes receive a Microalbuminuria urine test every year (after 5 years of having the disease in people with type 1 diabetes, and at the time of diagnosis in people with type 2 diabetes).
In type 2 diabetes, having Microalbuminuria is a powerful message that you have an increased risk of heart disease. Microalbuminuria is the strongest independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Screening identifies an increased risk of proliferative retinopathy.
Development of Microalbuminuria is closely linked to long term blood sugar control. This risk is increased by:
Diet and exercise play a key role in controlling blood sugar levels and reducing your weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, in turn preventing any further kidney damage. Steps may include:
- Exercising regularly, if possible for 30 minutes a day
- Eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day
- Increasing the amount of starchy carbohydrates in your diet
- Choosing to eat carbohydrates that release energy slowly such as porridge oats, brown rice and pasta, lentils and beans and avoiding those that release energy quickly such as white bread and white rice.
- Reducing the amount of sugar, fat and salt in your diet
- Stopping smoking
- Cutting down on alcohol
- Monitoring and controlling your blood sugar levels if you have diabetes
- Limitng the amount of foods containing high levels of protein, sodium, potassium or phosphate
The following measures are advisable in diabetes patients:
- Tighten up your blood sugar control.
- Blood pressure lowering if high
- Stop smoking.
- Exercise
- Lipid lowering treatment
Presence of Microalbuminuria signifies:
Blood vessels involved in filtering waste products in kidneys are damaged.
First sign of kidney damage or kidney disease.
Sign of more widespread damage to blood vessels, including those of heart.
Sign of an increased risk of heart disease, particularly in type 2 diabetes.
An indicator of subclinical cardiovascular disease.
Marker of vascular endothelial dysfunction.
An important prognostic marker for kidney disease, especially in diabetes mellitus & in hypertension.
Increasing Microalbuminuria during the first 48 hours after admission to an intensive care unit predicts elevated risk for acute respiratory failure , multiple organ failure and overall mortality.
A risk factor for venous thrombo embolism.
Healthy people may exceed normal levels after strenuous exercise or with dehydration.
Urine suppressed or scanty, high colored, fetid, containing albumen, blood corpuscles, uriniferous casts & epithelium.
Fatty degeneration of kidneys with haematuria & epithelial casts in urine.
Indicated in primary cases of tubal nephritis. Urine highly albuminous with waxy & fatty casts.
Albuminuria from cardiac disturbances & periodical effusions, as it reduces the amount of albumen in the urine.
Indicated in interstitial nephritis with contracted kidneys. Renal troubles secondary to cardiac affections, causing a decided albuminous crasis. At first the urine is increased in quantity, later it becomes scanty & albuminous.
Albuminuria depending on nervous disturbance, as from over work, gradually causing renal disorganizations.

Aretha Franklin, the Detroit-born grande dame of American popular music, is as much Elvis Presley-sized legend as flesh-and-blood human being. She sang at the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s funeral and at President Barack Obama's inauguration. She made her first album, a live recording in front of an entranced audience, in 1956 at the age of 14. Bonnie Raitt once said, "I learned way more about being a woman from listening to her sing 'Respect' than I did from any man." To generations of people around the world, she is a goddess, the living embodiment of a "natural woman."
Known simply as Aretha, the daughter of the late Rev. C.L. Franklin, she has produced a discography that stretches across five decades, from 1956's Precious Lord, which the Rev. Franklin released himself and has been reissued several times since; to 2011's A Woman Falling Out of Love, which Aretha issued through her own label, Aretha's Records, and distributed exclusively through Wal-Mart. Most fans tend to stick to her classic hit singles, from "Think" and "Something He Can Feel" to "Jump to It" and "A Rose Is Still a Rose." Out of the three dozen or so albums she made, only a few receive serious critical attention: I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, the 1967 album that made her a superstar; 1968's Lady Soul; and Amazing Grace, one of the biggest-selling gospel albums of all time.
However, it's worth digging beneath the Aretha myth for a closer listen. Born in 1942, she was in thrall to her father, a Civil Rights pioneer whose style of preaching influenced the Rev. King and who hosted a nationally syndicated radio show. (Her late sisters, Erma and Carolyn, were accomplished singers in their own right, and would later write songs and sing backing vocals for Aretha.) By the time Aretha was in her teens, she was accustomed to performing for the Rev. Franklin's gospel friends at his house, including Mahalia Jackson (who changed Aretha's diapers as a baby), Sam Cooke and Clara Ward. When Cooke became a pop star in the late 1950s, he often took Aretha on his tours. On Precious Lord, it's stunning to hear the young Aretha exhibit the same gifts she would unveil to the world a decade later, from her accomplished use of melisma and an ability to extend and rearrange vocal melodies, to the brilliant way she accompanied her vocal flights of fancy on piano.
John Hammond, the famed talent scout and producer whose discoveries range from Billie Holiday to, later, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, signed Aretha to Columbia Records in 1960. (Interestingly, Berry Gordy tried to recruit her for Motown Records, but her family ruled against signing with the then-small, fledgling label.) Her eight Columbia albums are widely derided for their emphasis on pop chestnuts like "Over the Rainbow" (Aretha) and "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" (The Electrifying Aretha Franklin), but she never abandoned her love of the great American songbook, even after she evolved from a jazz-pop singer in the mold of Dinah Washington to a deep soul pioneer. The worst that can be said about these early albums is that they lack spark, whether it's the producers with whom she worked, or her inability to create an emotional connection in her performances, or the material itself. It doesn't help that many of them are marred by gooey string arrangements typical of sophisticated '60s cabaret pop; Aretha, which she recorded with pianist Ray Bryant and several jazz musicians, may be the best of the lot, since Hammond arranges spare accompaniment that puts a spotlight on her voice.
When Aretha's contract with Columbia expired, she signed with Atlantic Records. Producer and label cofounder Jerry Wexler decided to record a "Southern" album with Aretha at Rick Hall's Fame Studios, the site of so many Stax classics by Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, and many others. But only the title track of I Never Loved a Man was recorded at Fame. An altercation involving Aretha's volatile former husband/manager, Ted White, led to Wexler moving the sessions to New York City. However, Wexler and the group of musicians who would soon be known as the Muscle Shoals sound created a template that Aretha would follow for the next five years, spanning eight studio albums and three live albums. Her reputation largely rests on these performances, made between 1967 and 1972, when she remarkably synthesized blues, gospel and jazz into a blueprint for soul music that resonates today. Listening to each album individually, it's amazing how many of the songs began as signature tunes for others: Dionne Warwick's "I Say a Little Prayer," Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water," Ben E. King's "Spanish Harlem" and, of course, Otis Redding's "Respect." It's a testament to her musical genius, and the way she stamps her imprint on them through sheer personality.
Still, Aretha is unabashedly a pop creature, and her post-1972 output has led her down numerous detours, from noble but failed experiments such as 1973's Quincy Jones-produced Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky) to successful contemporary R&B forays like her two albums with Luther Vandross (1982's Jump To It and 1983's Get It Right) and 1998's A Rose Is Still a Rose. She may be living history, but she has rarely felt burdened by it. Each new release is an opportunity to "bop," as she once put it, and try on something new. It makes for an intimidating and haphazardly brilliant catalog of music that rewards deep listening.

- The eBook copy of this book is not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Typically only the book itself is included.
"Literary criticism, as I attempt to practice it," writes Harold Bloom inThe Anatomy of Influence, "is in the first place literary, that is to say, personal and passionate." For more than half a century, Bloom has shared his profound knowledge of the written word with students and readers. In this, his most comprehensive and accessible study of influence, Bloom leads us through the labyrinthine paths which link the writers and critics who have informed and inspired him for so many years. The result is "a critical self-portrait," a sustained meditation on a life lived with and through the great works of the Western canon:Why has influence been my lifelong obsessive concern? Why have certain writers found me and not others? What is the end of a literary life? Featuring extended analyses of Bloom's most cherished poetsShakespeare, Whitman, and Craneas well as inspired appreciations of Emerson, Tennyson, Browning, Yeats, Ashbery, and others,The Anatomy of Influenceadapts Bloom's classic workThe Anxiety of Influenceto show us what great literature is, how it comes to be, and why it matters. Each chapter maps startling new literary connections that suddenly seem inevitable once Bloom has shown us how to listen and to read. A fierce and intimate appreciation of the art of literature on a scale that the author will not again attempt,TheAnatomy of Influencefollows the sublime works it studies, inspiring the reader with a sense of something ever more about to be.

From joint military exercises and military upgrade tasks, now military allies and colonialist powers that occupy neighboring Asian nations, India and Israel have moved further for missile shield technology.
South Asian India and West Asian Israel brutally occupy Kashmir and Palestine respectively, and they cooperate on colonialist terror operations and military equips. Israeli experts keep visiting India and Kashmir to inspect the "locations" for joint operations in future.
India, one of emerging economies around seeking to buy more and more terror goods form all possible markets across the globe has been in touch with its colonialist ally Israel for strengthening their military ties.
Guided by their masters the United States of America, India and Israel will jointly build an integrated anti-missile system to be deployed against Chinese nuclear and conventional missiles.
The new program, which does not yet have a name or kept a top secret, has been approved by the Indian Defence Ministry. According to a scientist with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) at Defexpo who does not want to reveal his identity for obvious security reasons a contract is expected to be signed in the next six months, if things go as expected.
The proposed missile defense program will see participation by Rafael and Israel Aircraft Industries in partnership with Indian military laboratories like DRDO and state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).
The system will integrate the homegrown Prithvi air defense system, which is ready for induction next year, with the mobile detection radar being built by BEL in partnership with IAI.
In addition, DRDO and BEL will work with IAI and Rafael for this program.
Indian Military ministry sources said talks have been underway on the integrated missile defense program for over six months, but gave no details on the program's fate.
A Rafael executive said at Defexpo, which runs from Thursday to Sunday, said the proposed missile defense program will be a network of air defense systems and radars from India and Israel. The executive added that additional missile systems, both short range and medium range, will be tailor-made for use by Indian military. Rafael executive said his company has offered to build a dedicated C4I system for the program.
Israel is both worried and shocked that the nuclear power India does not yet have a C4I system for missile defense threats. India wants Israel to assist in overcoming that terror shield hurdle.
Obviously, the unilateral USA as well as UK is behind Indo-Israeli military collaboration.

Hey everybody!
Let's pick up where I left off last time.
After the Rio Open I had to change locations because I was staying with my friend Marcus Antelante who is now traveling to the United States to teach classes in Atlanta. So now I'm here with my Brazilian Brothers Leopoldo and Theodoro Canal in Recreio. Whenver Theodoro travels to Santa Cruz, CA he stays with me and my family and whenever I come to visit Rio he always receives me in his home and takes really good care of me.
Sat, 2011-08-20 18:00 — Nathan Mendelsohn
Hey Everybody!
So let's continue with the catch up....
After competing the World Cup(see entry #2) I was taken to the apartment of my good friend and black belt from Soulfighters team Marcus Antelante where I would spend the next two weeks. Marcus had spent two weeks at my house in California training with our team at Claudio Franca's academy before the IBJJF Mundial 2010 and now he always makes me feel at home when I'm here in Brazil.
Thu, 2011-08-18 16:25 — Nathan Mendelsohn
Hey everybody!
So as I said in my last post, Ive already been here for a month but i wasnt with consistent access to the internet and so theres some catching up to do.
When I arrived here in Rio de Janeiro, I was picked up from the airport by my friend Douglas Lins, brown belt from GFTEAM and taken directly to Niteroi (the city neighboring Rio de Janeiro) to fight the World Cup! I was tired from the 14 hour flight, but was hoping it was nothing a little Jack3D and a good warm up couldn't fix.

Puppy chow says we should feed our 6 pound Beagle 1 cup a day. My girlfriend brought our puppy to the vet and said he said to feed him 1/2 cup a day. Divided into 3 meals, 1/2 cup is 1/6 of a cup per serving 3 times a day. This is extremely little. Does this sound right?

Jefferson County Commissioner Kathy Hartman won an important endorsement recently.
"My husband has voted," Hartman wrote recently in a newsletter sent to supporters. "Despite facing four more years of dinners alone, weekends involved with community meetings, and generally not seeing much of me, my husband is actively supporting me in running for a second term as your county commissioner."
Despite a bankruptcy filing last week by its parent company, Southwest Plaza's management says shoppers should see little impact.
General Growth Properties Inc., based in Chicago, which owns Southwest Plaza and owns or manages more than 200 malls and other retail properties nationwide, filed for Chapter 11 protection April 16.
"All day-to-day operations and business of all of GGP's shopping centers and other properties will continue as usual," the company said in a statement April 22.
Developers planning projects in Jefferson County will see their costs rise July 1, but county taxpayers will still pony up most of the cost of processing projects.
Starting July 1, the plan will allow Tim Carl, the county's development and transportation director, to incrementally raise fees over the next five years to the point where his office recovers 25 percent of what it actually costs the county to process development projects.
Chris Valdovino teaches a class on how to create a killer robot.
A robot designed to kill other robots, that is.
Valdovino, 16, lives in South Jeffco and grew up in the area. He and other students at the Jefferson County Open School in Lakewood have created a 120-pound robot that will be in a competition April 20-26 in Mare Island, Calif.
"We're not scared," Valdovino said — though he's never built a combat robot and got the idea by watching old episodes of "BattleBots," a now-defunct television show featuring robot-on-robot violence.
Challengers for three seats on the board of the Intermountain Rural Electric Association — who called for more openness and a willingness to embrace alternative energy sources — were soundly defeated in last week's elections.
The three challengers all were endorsed by IREA Voices, a group of co-op members who say IREA is mired in fossil-fuel thinking and lacks transparency in the way it does business.
• In District 7, incumbent George Hier received 3,899 votes, to 1,862 for Charles Bucknam.
South Jeffco resident Andrew McClay has been formally arrested in the slaying of 38-year-old Nicole Burns, who was found bludgeoned to death April 24 at McClay's apartment on West Bowles Avenue.
Deputies responded to the apartment Friday to conduct a welfare check on McClay. Upon entering, deputies found Burns' body on the floor just inside the residence.
People who bought produce at the Albertsons at West Bowles Avenue and South Platte Canyon Road may have been exposed to hepatitis A and are encouraged to contact the Tri-County Health Department for vaccinations.
It was initially reported that customers who bought produce between April 6 and 21 needed to be tested, but it turns out the Albertsons worker who tested positive for hepatitis A could have spread it as far back as late March.
Megan Rhodes, a sophomore at Chatfield High, has teamed with the Colorado State Patrol to urge her classmates to race cars on a track rather than the street.
Her words carry weight, because Rhodes is a straight-A student — and because, for fun, she races dragsters at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Her everyday car is a 2007 Roush Ford Mustang.
Rhodes spoke April 21 at a news conference with Colorado State Patrol troopers and metro area police officers to promote the Take It To The Track program, which lets licensed drivers race at Bandimere Speedway.
Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink thinks it's silly for the county to make more than $170,000 in lease payments each year in South Jeffco when it could buy the space.
"We're paying $171,000 on leases right now," Mink said. "Wouldn't it be a better use of taxpayer dollars to invest that in a permanent structure?"
Though he toils in the confines of the laundry room at the Jeffco jail, the handiwork of inmate Ivan Garcia is often found in unexpected places like hospitals and food banks.
And as his co-workers dig into the daily drudgery of folding towels and blankets, Garcia sits down at a work station that typically isn't included among the clichés that often populate jailhouse portrayals: a sewing machine.

1.1 We believe ARCs are good for BT's customers, as evidenced by the large numbers who have made the positive decision to choose our auto-renewable deals. We are pleased that Ofcom has recognised that there is no lack of transparency surrounding ARC terms or too much complexity in the opt-out process, as we have gone out of our way to ensure that the terms and conditions and the opt-out process are as clear as possible. If Ofcom goes ahead with its proposals to prohibit ARCs, large numbers of customers will miss out on the convenience of being able to continue on an attractive, discounted deal without having to do anything. We do not believe there is any justification for taking this step from a consumer protection perspective.
1.2 We do not agree with Ofcom's analysis of the economic effects of ARCs and the potential harm they could cause to competition. Ofcom's portrayal of a direct and unambiguous link between reductions in switching levels and harm to the competitive process is mistaken, and there is no empirical evidence of any reduction in competition or increased prices in the consumer fixed voice and broadband markets since BT introduced ARCs in 2008 – in fact, the reverse is true.
1.3 Many of the alleged problems that Ofcom associates with ARCs are, in fact, issues that could also be raised about minimum term contracts in general. Ofcom's interpretation of their consultant's analysis overestimates the impact of ARCs on switching. A richer specification of the model which separates out the effect of ARCs from ETCs after the first minimum contract period shows that ARCs would reduce switching by just 14.7%, and it could be even lower if the price effect were accounted for more appropriately, as in the consultants' supplementary report published subsequently. We think it is highly questionable whether effects of this magnitude constitute a material difference in switching levels in the market, let alone proof of harm to the competitive process.
1.4 We are very concerned about the extension of the prohibition to contracts with small businesses. We have not discussed with Ofcom the nature of our business contracts, and we do not believe that our current ARCs for small businesses – for calls and lines discount packages – are caught by the definition in the consultation, nor that they should be of concern to Ofcom for a number of reasons. Ofcom has provided no evidence or justification in support of a prohibition on ARCs for small businesses, and the Universal Service Directive gives Ofcom discretion not to apply any regulatory intervention to these contracts.
1.5 In practice it is almost impossible for BT to distinguish between customers with more or less than ten employees, and therefore if Ofcom does not agree that our current business ARCs are unaffected, a prohibition could result in BT having to withdraw discount packages from a large number of corporate customers, all of whom we believe to be very happy with their current arrangements. This would not be proportionate or objectively justified.
1.6 If Ofcom is not persuaded to think again about these proposals, we would need to discuss the timing of ARCs withdrawal, as (due to the timing of our scheduled systems releases) it would not be possible simply to stop selling ARCs immediately from the date of Ofcom's final decision, and nor would it be possible to start moving existing customers off ARCs immediately from this date. Ofcom has underestimated the complexity of the work required.

I'm in the middle of reading a whole bunch of things, actually.
Arion - Lord of Atlantis
This was a 42-issue comic book run in the 80s, published by DC Comics. It was sword-and-sorcery, but wasn't totally typical of the genre. Technology existed side by side with magic, and the first issue is in space! I lurve magic and fantasy in space!
JLA Classified
Yes, another comic book series, a 54-issue run starting in the mid 2000s. It's a bunch of untold adventures of the superhero team Justice League of America. Well illustrated and (for the most part) well told, I probably enjoy it more than most because I'm a big JLA fan.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
A five book series that was recommended to me by a close friend. Written for young adults, but people of all ages can get into it. Much like Harry Potter, except with Greek mythology rather than witchcraft and wizardry. Yes, that's a simplistic comparison that doesn't take into account all the nuances, but it's a nutshell explanation. I'm VERY much enjoying this, and am on the fourth book now.
Star Wars: The New Jedi Order
A 19-book series set in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, taking place approximately 20-25 years after
Return of the Jedi
. I never could finish the whole thing when it came out, and I'm having trouble getting through it now. Even though I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan, this particular series doesn't seem particularly StarWarsy, with the Yuuzhan Vong and such. I mean, I understand you can do the Empire and Sith only so much, but still! But by God, I will finish it, however slowly and torturously I must do it.
Consider Phlebas
by Iain Banks
A sci-fi novel, first in the "Culture" series. I got it after I read about what the titular Culture was supposed to be, a super-advanced post-scarcity society where everyone can get what they want super-easy, and their top agents carry a planet-killer in their pocket. Upon actually reading it, I've been a little disappointed, as (a) there is another culture of supremely advanced aliens even more advanced than the Culture, which kind of spoils the effect, and (b) the story isn't told from within the Culture.
War of the Twins
by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
Second book in the Dragonlance Legends trilogy. An awesome fantasy series in an awesome fantasy setting. Raistlin Majere rocks! He is one of the most bad-a** characters I've seen in a book, yet he's physically puny and ill. Amazing.

33 Cool and Creative ads (Part I)By Village Mayor • Jun 22nd, 2009 • Category: Ads, Latest Post, The Best of Village of Joy
While doing this post about cool and creative ads, various thoughts came to my mind. The first one – I want to start my own advertising agency. Why? Because this must be the best job ever – you just create all kind of innovative, funny and odd ideas and get paid for it. Plus, to implement those cool ideas you do photography, illustrations and other creative things, which I just love doing.
Oh, and I had some other thoughts – like, there is a thin line between a good and very bad ad. For example, using cement mixer truck (ad #12) to look like a kebab, might be really creative and eye catchy, but the question is what kind of message does it deliver? In this particular case, the only thing that pops up in my mind is – those kebabs taste like cement, and that's a bad, bad advert.
I had even more thoughts, but I think you are getting bored so start scrolling down the ads, and don't forget to comment!

Advertising Agency: Smith Roberts Creative Communications
Creative Directors: Malcolm Roberts, Brian Smith
Copywriters: Brian Smith, Matt Hubbard
12. Germany's Biggest Kebab (doydoy)

Advertising Agency: SAATCHI & SAATCHI X , Frankfurt, Germany
Creative Director: Mark Karatas
Art Directors: Patrick Ackmann, Alexander Fechner,

23. Eye Boner (the Orange Apple)
The idea behind this interesting ad was, that The Orange Apple retouching is exciting to the eye.
