Good product, not the best fitment
I went to install these on my Nytro and the mounts do not extend far enough to cover the grips. I will have to custom fab something up to make them work, not ideal.

nice brackets,for a motorcycle not long enough for a snowmobile have to modify and they are still marginal
Review By: smurph
Attractive replacement for OEM
I put these on my Vstrom 1000 when I replaced the bars with a Tag CR Low taper. With a little bit of adjustment the Moose handguards give me a great look with a nice bit of ventilation for warm days. Without bar risers the Vstrom's fairing would interfere with locking the bike.

Great Hand Guards!!!
Bought these for my Polaris RMK 800, they are very nice guards, sturdy mounting brackets, great looking design, the only issue was to get them to extend as far as my handlebars, but with some very slight modifications they fit well, would recommend these guards!
Review By: slednecker2009
from Duluth, MN
Nice guards for the money but might need altering.
The mounts are quality. Machined aluminum that bolts on well. The only issue I had was trying to get the guards to extend as far as my handlebar. Due to where my throttle and brake controls are located on my 2001 Arctic Cat ZR 600 EFI, I had to mount the guards on the inside of the controls, not right next to the grips. Then I had to drill new mounting holes in the plastic rail that connects to the mounting brackets in order to get them to fit properly. They are nice guards otherwise, just could have been designed with my type of set-up in mind.

|Mike "Alexander" Edmond
"...we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex (MIC). The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist....As we peer into society's future, we-you and I, and our government-must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage." - President Eisenhower's Farewell Address January 17, 1961
In microbiology and clinical medicine, the MIC is the "lowest concentration of an antimicrobial that will inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation." I think it's time to recognize a new definition for MIC: the Microbiological Industrial Complex. The MIC encompasses the industry, associated lobbying efforts and government agencies that most benefit from the adoption of expensive and unproven testing and treatment. The MIC has had a tremendous impact on infection prevention practice through economic forces pushing for MRSA active surveillance mandates and perhaps mandatory flu vaccinations of health care workers. This MIC leads to the utilization of expensive (and largely unproven) interventions at great cost both economically and to the well-being of patients. The more we spend on expensive sequencing, the less we can spend on actual prevention. Hand hygiene might not be sexy, but it does more to prevent the spread of resistant infections than any PCR test.
The latest evidence of the insidious rise of the MIC is the initial discussion surrounding the NIH Clinical Center KPC outbreak. So far, the only paper describing the outbreak covered the miracle of whole-genome sequencing and how it helped halt the outbreak, which it most certainly did not. The outbreak was halted using a grab bag of unproven and expensive interventions including the hiring of 9 hand hygiene "police" that monitored infection control practice 24-7. Even NIH's Henry Masur speaking today on the Diane Rehm show said that sequencing "didn't conclusively prove" (what caused the outbreak). Both he and Jule Segre suggested they only stepped up their infection control efforts because of the whole genome sequencing evidence, which is almost certainly not true. They would have used infection control escalation even without expensive testing. (listen to the Diane Rehm show segment here)
To understand the power of the MIC, you don't have to look further than a recent MSNBC report, which noted that the NIH sequencing cost $40,000 and suggested that this technique could spawn a $1 billion industry in the US alone. In discussing the whole genome technique, Dr. Segre was noted to say "When you have patients in your ICU who just paid $100,000 for an organ transplant,"...spending a few thousand dollars to protect them from an outbreak of deadly bacterial infections "doesn't seem like too much to ask."
It seems to me that since there is no evidence that whole genome identified the source of transmission here or elsewhere and even if it did it wouldn't have altered the course of the outbreak, we might better spend our infection control research and clinical dollars elsewhere. Unfortunately, the MIC has more money and more NIH backing. The NIH has a National Human Genome Research Institute but it doesn't have a "National Infection Prevention Institute", for example.
Almost a year ago, Mike peered through his crystal ball and accurately predicted the future of KPC prevention in the US. The NIH outbreak and report starts the countdown, and much like MRSA before it, the prevention efforts will be focused on expensive DNA surveillance efforts backed by large industry lobbying efforts and not investments in the research and expansion of basic and simple infection control efforts. It is easy to blame the healthcare worker for not washing their hands and look for a quick scientific panacea (DNA). Sadly, given that there have been only four high-quality hand hygiene improvement studies since 1980, we haven't provided clinicians with the proven tools to improve hand hygiene. If we continue to bow to the pressure of the MIC and avoid the harder tasks of infection prevention, we will be squandering our precious resources of tomorrow (antibiotics), as Eisenhower warned 50 years ago.

text: It's been two years since I bought shoes. I've been looking for a new pair for a while. I just never saw anything I liked so much I was willing to pay what was on the price tag. Then this weekend, I saw this pair pictured below. The original retail price on the tag and on the shoe box was $100.00. We paid $39.99 which is the lowest price I saw on any non-generic shoe during my shoe search! Plus the colors weren't offensive and I actually kinda wanted a pair of these ziggy-zaggy Reebok shoes.

As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on June 18, 2013
S. 327 would authorize the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service to enter into cooperative agreements or contracts with state foresters in western states to provide forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration and protection services on lands administered by those agencies. Based on information provided by the affected agencies, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no impact on the federal budget. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
Under current law, the affected agencies have the authority to enter into contracts with private companies to carry out various activities to conserve federal lands. S. 327 would allow those agencies to contract with state foresters to accomplish similar work in areas where state and federal lands are located in close proximity. Because the bill provides an alternative approach to completing projects that would otherwise be carried out by the affected agencies or private contractors, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no impact on the federal budget.
Any proceeds from timber sales conducted under an agreement authorized by the bill would be treated as receipts to the federal government as under current law; therefore, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would not affect direct spending.
S. 327 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

May 1 Occupiers will be littering, defecating and dumping the same around a town near you. They really think they're all that, but they're not. What they should do is quit asking for hand outs and get jobs. Hopefully there will be record arrests for all who do not peaceably assemble.
Attention Occupiers: "Remember, remember not the 5th of November, nor the gunpowder, treason or plot. But rather remember on the 6th of November the Citizens get to keep what we've got. God, borders, language and American exceptionalism." –@DaveOrts
The chanting of "gimme, Gimme GIMME, I want, I WANT" will not be heard directly, you have to listen to the unspoken pentameter of the meaning. "Tell me what democracy looks like…" is the shell wrapped around the meaning of actions, which is always how you define caliber. Marxist take what others have. Estimated average Occupier caliber .177 (BBs.) Below is the Occupy Promo piece, driving the violence and chaos of the "horizontals". No Occupiers are not jammin' funky beats, but rather, funky theories based on stopping nearly everything that makes America work.
May 1 "Wherever you are, No Work; No School; No Shopping. No illusions. No apologies. No business as usual. Into The Streets!"
We all know May 1 is a communist celebration, meh… It is not about jazz, but impregnating society with infected ejaculates in an attempt to birth a now working society, albeit tousled, thank you Obama, into something that is guaranteed to break down completely, and force us toward Marxism. What are we to expect from from drug racked rapistas and vile villainous defilers as they dump and run. This is not peaceably assembling to a hip 5/8 beat, but a slick cadre of selfish self-professed "fearless" thugs. How is it you are fearless and masked? Confusing. A bit, but remember these Koolaid drinkers are "going global".
Occupy is about the one thing. Self. Occupy is about the vile effortless freedom from accountability while securing good paying "jobs" or being made owners, instead of employees at their places of employment. What is their driving force tagline? Simple. "Give me what you've earned, expect me to take it if you don't" Yes the big O has seriously been afflicted with a terminal case of the "gimme" syndrome. –@DaveOrts
London, Lisbon, Paris, Marseilles, Helsinki, Cuzco, Barcelona, Quebec are already on board with more on the way. We'll hold our assemblies, hash out our demands and start building a parallel society that can sustain autonomous, horizontal, revolutionary communities outside of corpo-consumerism … we stop begging and we start creating … we begin the change we want to see.We scared the G8 away from Chicago and now some occupiers are planning#OCCUPYCAMPDAVID
Hey you nimble dreamers, wild cats and horizontals out there,
Our Spring offensive is building toward a climactic May uprising… time to come out of winter hibernation and play jazz like we've never played it before.
May 1 we leap into the new world with a mighty multinational General Strike. Wherever you are, No Work; No School; No Shopping. No illusions. No apologies. No business as usual. Into The Streets!
May 12, we intensify with three days of global action. Jammers in London, Lisbon, Paris, Marseilles, Helsinki, Cuzco, Barcelona, Quebec are already on board with more on the way. We'll hold our assemblies, hash out our demands and start building a parallel society that can sustain autonomous, horizontal, revolutionary communities outside of corpo-consumerism … we stop begging and we start creating … we begin the change we want to see.
We scared the G8 away from Chicago and now some occupiers are planning#OCCUPYCAMPDAVID – a cacophonous carnival of tree-sits, lockdowns and nomadic encampments in the woods and nearby Thurmont. Bon Voyage! Others are upping the ante with #OCCUPYCHICAGO – a mobilization of anarchic swarms to shutdown the NATO summit.
And then one of the softer aesthetic moments of our Spring offensive could well be the#LAUGHRIOT on May 18, the day the G8 leaders meet in Camp David. There is something totally ludicrous, absurd, even insane about the eight most powerful people in the world deciding to do the people's business people behind closed doors and razor wire fences. This veneer of legitimacy is our tragedy turned to farce.
As Aristotle observed, to laugh is uniquely human… Imagine the scene: first a few hundred of us, then a few thousand, then millions of people across the world — each in their own way, some individually, some collectively in flash mobs, offices, parks, encampments — all breaking out in uproarious laughter on May 18. This could be a delicious defining moment – the day when the people of the world have a good laugh together and, from that point on, start thinking differently about how the world should be governed.
Then we get ready for our next big challenge: How to Occupy the U.S. Presidential Election on November 6.
Time to play wild, spontaneous jazz as Miles Davis intended, for the wild,

George Clooney returns to the directors chair and as lead actor in "The Monuments Men." Set during the second world war, Clooney plays Frank Stokes. He leads a team of middle-aged men tasked to find the artistic treasures in western Europe stolen by the Nazis. Among Clooney's cohorts are James Granger (Matt Damon), Richard Campbell (Bill Murray), Walter Garfield (John Goodman), John Claude Clermont (Jean Dujardin), Preston Savitz (Bob Balaban) and Donald Jefferies (Hugh Bonneville). The men take on basic training with soldiers much younger than themselves and arrive in Normandy just prior to the liberation of Paris.
As they enter France the men break-up into small teams to look for specific pieces of artwork and for the hiding spots used by the Nazis. James heads to Paris and stumbles upon Claire Simone (Cate Blanchett). She worked in a museum that was pilfered by the Nazis, never letting on that she was fluent in German. Although she is resistant to trust James, she finally realizes that his motives are pure and gives James something to really help the team out.
The team doesn't go about their duties unscathed and learn the hard way that they are indeed soldiers. Two team members die trying to save art from being lost forever. But as World War II comes to an end, the team makes great stride and successfully recovers many missing pieces of art - although some items are lost forever.
"The Monuments Men" was adapted from the book "The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History." The screenplay was penned by George Clooney and his producing partner Grant Heslov. The film was initially slated to be released during the rush of films vying for Academy Awards. And it is easy to see why it was pushed to a later date. "The Monuments Men" is a very entertaining film and has got a little of everything to be an enjoyable film, but it is no way an Oscar caliber film.
Although cast with a wealth of A-list actors, the best thing that "The Monuments Men" has to offer is a unique story line. It's not a story that has been told and regurgitated and retold over and over again. "The Monuments Men" is also refreshing in that it doesn't depend on profanity or nudity to tell its story. So, if you're in the mood for a film with the flavor of a classic film, with an unique tale from the last world war then "The Monuments Men" will be a pleasing choice time at movies.
"The Monuments Men" is rated PG-13 for some images of war violence and historical smoking and has a run-time of one hour and 58 minutes.

Finished my last event of Philly Beer Week this afternoon - and it was a blast. The lunch at Monk's with Chef Brian Morin of BeerBistro, Toronto fame. Every Dogfish beer served included grapes as an ingredient. The recipe and every course of food included grapes as an ingredient. Every course was amazing but my favorite was the 40-hour pork belly sandwich paired with Midas Touch. And the homemade donuts with 2007 Raison D'Extra. I remember when we debuted Midas in Philly 13 years ago how odd people thought it was that we were making a beer/wine/mead. This month marks ours 17th birthday at Dogfish and we've been thinking outside the Reinheitsge-box since day one. Events like the one we did today at Monk's make me so proud of our journey thus far.

KATHLEEN RUBATT (center), gets help from her grandchildren, Gavyn Rubatt (left) and Lainey Rubatt (right) when signing in to vote during the general election at the Ironwood Memorial Building in Ironwood, Tuesday.
IRONWOOD - On a 263 to 249 vote, city of Ironwood voters on Tuesday turned down a 10-year millage for street improvements.
The special millage called for 10 miles of city streets to be milled and pulverized next year, with a blacktop overlay.
City manager Scott Erickson said the work would likely begin in Norrie Location and then move from south to north.
For a homeowner with a parcel with a taxable value of $20,000, average for the city, the 2 mills would add $40 a year to the tax bill, in effect replacing a two-year millage for Memorial Building renovations.
City officials conducted two pre-election community sessions explaining the millage.
City Commission
Current Mayor Kim Corcoran earned the most votes at 386, with Rick Semo and David Sim tying at 345 each. Brandon Tauer earned 339 votes, and Joseph Cayer earned 280.
Monie Shackleford was not re-elected, receiving 273 votes.
Corcoran, Semo, Tauer, and Cayer are incumbents, with Sim the new face on the commission.
The election drew 1,971 citizens to vote out of 4,513 registered.

Snot Rockets and Eating When Exhausted
Saturday, May 25, 2013
My day started off great - got in an hour on my stationary bike, got a 20 minute walk in before work, another 20 minute walk at lunch, and 14 minutes after work. I was supposed to lift weights this evening, but I'm so exhausted after literally standing around all day at work. I was training on admissions and gift shop registers even though my job is supposed to deal with collections and curatorial duties for the museum, because I'm a "supervisor" and I need to know how to do all the register stuff and sign off on things and whatnot. And the day ran late and I am 4 1/2 months pregnant with a pretty good belly already due to there being twins stuffed inside me instead of just one kid, so my back was killing me by the end of the day, and I spent most of the day half-starved because all my snacks were upstairs in the offices and I was downstairs at the admissions desk with my own supervisor, training, and I'm so new that I felt uncomfortable saying "um, I'm pregnant and feel REALLY weak from hunger, can I please go get a snack?" when we were super busy, so...I jammed food in my face when I could and came home ravenous, and inhaled everything but the dinner I'd actually planned on.
Sorry for the super run-on sentence...that's what happens when I get tired. I ramble.
So instead of the nice Greek Chicken Pasta I was going to make myself (it's an allrecipes.com recipe and it looks really good and relatively healthy if you're interested - feta and artichokes and chicken and lemon juice and herbs), I ate craptons of Honeycombs cereal that I bought the other day out of pure nostalgia for the days of my youth when we frequently had cereals like Honeycombs at home, and I tore into the Trader Joe's veggie and flax seed tortilla chips, and some cold rotisserie turkey, and hummus, and even some chocolate chips. Not cookies. Just the chocolate chips. Because I wanted a chocolate fix too, among the grain/salt/protein-fest I found myself enveloped in.
Plus I've been getting like 5, maybe 5 1/2 hours of sleep the past couple nights because I get up around 5:15 or 5;30 and I still haven't learned to go to bed earlier than I'm used to.
So today was a perfect storm of Things That Make Me Eat the House Bare.
But it started out so nice! There was even a 5k or some kind of race going on this morning when I arrived in the city where I work (which is an hour from home), and some old guy blew a couple snot rockets into the ditch right beside the sidewalk where I was taking my morning walk, with no shame at all, and it made me laugh to myself. I would never have the balls to just blow snot rockets around people, let alone in their direction when they're not 5 feet away. Way to do your thing, old dude. I mean, you gotta have a clear nose for running, right? When I was able to run, pre-pregnancy-hip weirdness, my nose ran nonstop so I totally understand!
Anyways. Rambling. Tired. Must go to bed early! Since I bailed on the weight lifting for the evening, I'm going to try to do it in the morning before I have to travel out of town for a family party. I was hoping to go for a long bike ride, but...I doubt there will be time for both. Oh well. No harm in a cardio rest day, is there? Some day, I am going to actually learn that lesson and internalize it because after months of trying, I still can't quite make myself believe it.

I agree - running around like a lunatic is one thing - asking for a 10 min break to eat because you are afraid you are going to faint...that's a total other thing. Perhaps tomorrow you could mention it ahead of time to the PowersThatBe. I dont think its unreasonable - especially if it is cleared ahead.

Yom Kippur last year was a mad rush. I went to services in the morning, dashed off to a retirement home to do a service for them, rushed over to the civic center to listen to a Q&A with Rabbi Doug Kahn of the JCRC followed by afternoon and concluding services, then to a restaurant for break-the-fast, only to collapse in bed at home before rising early to help build the synagogue's two sukkot at 6am.
It was too much to do, in too short a time. How is anyone supposed to engage in proper Yom Kippur reflection while rushing around like that? Part of it was caused by the fact that we have such a large congregation that we hold some concurrent services at the synagogue and the civic center, as well as some separate events at each location, but most of it was because of my own choices.
This year, it was different. I stayed at the synagogue all day. Yes, it meant I had to miss the healing service and the Q&A with Rabbi Kahn at the civic center, but it was well worth it.
After I helped to clean up the sanctuary following the morning service, I chatted with friends as families arrived for the children's service. I sat in on the last part of the children's service, and helped to clean up the sanctuary again.
Then, instead of rushing off for the healing service and the Q&A, I just sat outside the synagogue. I watched as the bustling crowds disbursed. I listened to a band practicing somewhere in the neighborhood. I eyed some almonds, presumably left by one of the kids attending the children's service, abandoned on the bench nearby, and wondered how long it would take for the neighborhood birds to come eat them.
I chatted with the security guard, who'd gotten his job four months ago. He said, even though it was his birthday, this was his favorite assignment so far, because everyone here has been so friendly. He said at all his other assignments, people seem to be trying to avoid looking at him. In contrast, while guarding our synagogue, he experienced many people saying hello and thanking him for looking out for us.
I listened to the cars and the birds and the wind in the trees. Then, the musicians for the afternoon service started arriving, and I chatted with them, and other congregants as they arrived, until it was time to go back in for the service.
At the end of the service, we sang our way outside, where we did Havdalah and had the break-the-fast. I still waited for sundown before breaking my fast at a restaurant, and fell into bed exhausted afterward, but the next morning I didn't have to arrive at the synagogue to start building the sukkot until 8am.
All in all, it was a much better way to spend Yom Kippur. It was much more restful, and allowed me the time I needed to slow down and to appreciate what was surrounding me. It was a beautiful island in time.
By the time you read this, my time of rest will be over. I will be, God willing, on my vacation, where I will be, appropriately, spending the holiday of Sukkot moving every two nights and sleeping in tents. As a result, I will not be posting anything next week, but I hope to report on my adventures the week after that.
May the new year bring you joy, rest, and peace.

Keiser University does not make any recommendations regarding lender selection. Lender terms and eligibility change from time to time and while all the lenders listed below currently provide loans to our students; they may not always do so.
Private student loans should only be considered after applying for federal financial aid. Private student loans are available to students who have exhausted all other avenues of obtaining funding and who need additional assistance beyond their financial aid eligibility. These loans are not subsidized or guaranteed by the federal government.
Students are encouraged with their cosigners to review each lender on their own and decide on the lender of his/her choice. It is important that you review the lender's terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements before applying.
Lenders that our students have used in the past are listed in alphabetical order. We do not indicate any rank or preference. Students may choose to borrow from one of the lenders listed below or from any other lender. Contact the lender for specific terms and conditions.
The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University's MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I'm part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren't available to me before.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I have been going to another school before, dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information that I need. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I've made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University's Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn't truly interested.

What are Genograms?
Genograms are used as a tool to graphically represent information about a client's family history. They are helpful as they combine large amounts of information about a family and help to identify family history of mental health, illness, patterns such as communication and relationships, events and other information into a one page document.
Also, genograms may be used to facilitate the relationship with the client, sensitize students to cultural differences, and help to teach the family systems theory (Sawin & Harrison, 1995). Genograms are used predominantly by counsellors, family therapists, physicians, social workers and other health care professionals (McGoldrick, Gerson & Shellenberger, 1999).
Theoretical Basis of the Genogram
The genogram was developed from developmental theory and the family systems theory from much of the work of Murray Bowen (Sawin & Harrison, 1995). The literature on the genogram demonstrates the use of the tool through many case examples therefore giving the tool face validity (or surface value), however the literature involving the psychometric properties is limited.
One study by Sawain and Harrigan (1995) showed no content validity, construct validity, concurrent validity or discriminant validity. However, the predictive validity of the genogram has shown that it provides four times as much medical information than other informal assessment methods and an increased identification of family history of medical conditions.
Although there is limited information on the psychometric properties of the genogram, it is an effective tool in counselling to get an overall view of the client's family history.
How Family History Impacts on Clients
The family history of a client can impact on many areas of his or her life. The family systems perspective states that wherever an individual is in a family, it may influence his or her functioning, relational patterns, and the type of family he or she forms. Obviously in counselling the most important aspect is the client's family history of mental health as this can be indicative of a client's mental health.
As well as this, family history of mental health may also indicate the type of environment the client has grown up in and any maladaptive behaviours present in the client's life today that could be impacting on his or her level of functioning. Apart from history of mental health, a number of other factors in a client's family history may be useful to the counselling process. These factors include the biological, legal, age, place in family, culture, abuse, exposure to violence, socio-economic status, and stress.
In the next post, we will look at the applications of genograms in a counselling/therapeutical practice and the basic information required to formulate a genogram.

Samsung C5010 Squash and Samsung R631 2Thumb coming soon
We have some details on two upcoming Samsung phones, the C5010 and the R631 – both of them are entry-level devices, although they target different categories of users.
The Samsung C5010 (also called Samsung Squash) is a candybar that resembles the Shark S5350, but it has fewer features. The C5010 Squash comes with 3G (2100/900) and quad-band GSM connectivity, a 2 inch display with just 128 x 160 pixels, Music player, FM radio, 1.3MP camera and MicroSD card support.
Samsung C5010 Squash should be out this month for less than $125 (€100). The phone looks like this:
As for the Samsung R631 (previously seen included in Cricket's 2010 line-up), it will apparently be called Samsung 2Thumb. The phone features a full QWERTY keyboard, 2.6 inch QVGA touchscreen display, EV-DO, stereo Bluetooth, MP3 player, 2MP camera, and MicroSD card support.
Cricket should launch the Samsung 2Thumb in the third quarter of 2010 for $199 sans contract. MetroPCS might also get the phone.

Timeline 1997-2005
What follows, in timeline form, is a brief account of some major milestones of Welsh history and the development of medical education in Wales for the period 1997 to 2005.
The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) confers highest accolades on the College's undergraduate courses in Medicine and Dentistry.
College awarded Queen's Anniversary Prize for the chemiluminescent labelling technology developed in the College in the 1970s. "An award in recognition of almost twenty years work which has made significant impact on provision of healthcare worldwide and which has been commercially successful."
In February, the Sir Geraint Evans Wales Heart Research Institute opens following a major all-Wales funding campaign.
The College, in partnership with Cardiff University, succeeds in obtaining £3m from University Challenge Seed Fund "to make good research into better business". In May, the new Clinical Kinaesiology Laboratory opens, forming the central part of the Department of Physiotherapy Education's research activity.
UWCM is awarded £13.5 million from the Joint Infrastructure Fund (a joint Government/Wellcome Trust research initiative) to build the Henry Wellcome Building for Biomedical research in Wales on the Heath Park Site.
Institute of Medical Genetics and Institute of Wound Healing Research each receive 'Centre of Excellence' status from the Welsh Development Agency and the Welsh National Assembly. Both are deemed to have world-class facilities and to be examples of successful industrial collaboration.

Widening student access to UWCM. Tony Higgins, Chief Executive of UCAS, describes UWCM as being "miles ahead of the game, blazing a trail in the UK".
As part of the Welsh National Assembly's strategy to increase medical student intake in Wales from 190 to 290, the Swansea Clinical School is established as a partnership between UWCM, University of Wales Swansea and the Swansea NHS Trust.
Professor Stephen Tomlinson takes up his post as Vice Chancellor of UWCM. Formerly Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing at Manchester. He says, "I am delighted to have the opportunity to build upon the strengths of UWCM. As the College faces the challenges of the future it is good to know that the deserved excellent reputation of UWCM will provide such a fertile ground for further development."
Professor Tomlinson was the architect of the merger between UWCM and University of Wales, Cardiff in 2004, thereby creating the new 'Cardiff University'. He was awarded an honorary degree of DSc by the University of Sheffield in 2012,and became CBE for services to medicine in 2007.
Vice-Chancellor, University of Wales College of Medicine (2001-2004)
Plans are underway for a new integrated Genetics Institute in Cardiff as a home for the Wales Gene Park. It is hoped that this will become a Centre of National and International importance providing the resources to advance the knowledge of genetic determinants of human disease.
Schemes for widening access to UWCM courses continue with the UWCM Compact scheme, targeting schools from all over Wales. UWCM becomes leading member of MediPlant (The Medicinal Plants Consortium) intended to raise awareness of medicinal plant research. For example, the Abuta plant is used by midwives in the Amazon Jungle to combat pre- and post-natal pain.
Cancer Research UK scientists in Wales announce a discovery that could help halt the rapid spread of breast cancer. Prof. Robert Mansel (UWCM Professor of Surgery) states, " . . . treatment becomes more difficult when abnormal cells spread to other parts of the body. By understanding how cancer cells escape from a breast tumour we can look at ways to halt the process in its early stages and contain the disease."
Research grant of £600,000 awarded to UWCM for study into screening programme for ovarian cancer. The 10-year worldwide race to identify the 'sperm factor', the essential molecule in sperm that 'triggers' an egg to develop, is won by a team of scientists at UWCM.
On 1st April 2002 the Gwent Clinical School is formally established in acknowledgement of the substantial contributions made by the Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust in the delivery of UWCM's medical teaching programme. The Report of the National Assembly Review of Higher Education in Wales advocates closer collaboration within the HE sector in Wales, with the possible merger of UWCM and University of Wales, Cardiff; originally proposed in 2001 by Professor Stephen Tomlinson in agreement with Dr David Grant, Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University. In its response, the Welsh Assembly Government stresses the continuing importance of UWCM's 'all-Wales' role, "We are clear that any reconfiguration or collaboration must not dilute its all-Wales role and responsibility."
£2.3 million Research Council award for research into 'optical biochips' - a system to investigate cell response to drugs and find out whether or not they are diseased in the first instance. This will be a collaborative project with the Optical Biochips Consortium at Cardiff University, University of Bangor, The Gray Cancer Institute in London, University of Warwick and premier laboratories in the USA. UWCM awarded 'Investor in People' status - the first pre-1992 university in England and Wales to be honoured in this way.
Plans are formally submitted to the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) for the establishment of the North Wales Clinical School, a joint venture between UWCM, HE and NHS partners in North Wales.
After reviewing a range of options for closer collaboration, the Councils of UWCM and University of Wales, Cardiff formally agree that both institutions should merge under the name 'Cardiff University' with effect from August 2004.
In July, the first Exercise Science & Sports Medicine Symposium was held at Cardiff University. Experts in exercise science, sports medicine, nutrition& health and lifestyle, discussed the national obesity epidemic. The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) has recognised this with its 'Health Challenge Wales' initiative.
Also in July, Professor Sir Peter Harper (pictured below) from the Department of Medical Genetics is honoured with a Knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for his major contribution to research in genetics.

On 1st August the UWCM and University of Wales Cardiff officially merge into one institution, to be known as 'Cardiff University', thus re-establishing the Medical School within its parent body after 70 years. The Medical School becomes part of the Wales College of Medicine, Biology, Life and Health Sciences.
In September, the Swansea Clinical School admitted its first students into the Graduate Entry Programme in Medicine. Students will spend the first two years at the University of Wales Swansea and the Swansea NHS Trust. They will then join medical students of the Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff University to complete their medical studies for two further years.

In October, the Learning Resource Centre for pre-registration nursing undergraduate students officially opened at Caerleon by Jane Hutt, Minister for Health & Social Services. The Centre will provide training facilities using the latest technological equipment and techniques as part of The School of Nursing and Midwifery Studies.
The Annual Meeting of the Association of Dental Education in Europe took place in Cardiff, with dental academics from 35 countries across Europe - primarily to address the shortfall in numbers of dentists in Wales. The Meeting coincided with the official opening of the Paediatric Dentistry Clinic at the University Hospital of Wales. Funding was by the WAG.
Professor Julian Sampson from the Department of Medical Genetics in the School of Medicine, helped to isolate a drug from a fungus found on Easter Island, which offers new hope to sufferers from a genetic disease that encourages tumour growth.
Back to top
In November, the implementation commenced of the General Practitioner (GP) Appraisal Scheme by experts in the School of Postgraduate Medical & Dental Education, in order to improve GP services throughout Wales.
Cardiff University secured £1.5 million funding from Research Councils UK to appoint 12 experts in a range of inter-disciplinary research areas.
Biggest advance in 30 years of breast cancer surgery pioneered by Professor Robert Mansel and a multidisciplinary team in the School of Medicine, Wales College of Medicine. An innovative surgical technique removes only the sentinel lymph node under the arm to detect cancer cells, where previously all nodes were removed, causing severe side-effects.
On 17th December, the title 'Cardiff University' and a new Supplemental Charter was formally granted to the University by the Privy Council on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. The grant of the title means that Cardiff officially becomes a University in its own right and independent from the University of Wales. The Supplemental Charter formally recognises the merger with UWCM and has been granted in the name of Cardiff University. The Chair of the University Council, Professor Sir Keith Peters, said, "This is a historic and significant day in the history of our development."
During the first four months of the academic year, Cardiff University secured £23 million of awards - £10 million more than for the same period last year. The School of Medicine won an award of nearly £1 million.
Professor Whittaker, recently retired Professor of Forensic Dentistry in the School of Dentistry, Cardiff, made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the New Year's Honours List. The award is made for his services to forensic dentistry.
Forty seven nurses and pharmacists are the first in Wales qualified to undertake supplementary prescribing – an initiative which will provide patients with a quicker and more efficient access to medicines.
Professor Mansel Aylward CB, appointed Chair of the Wales Centre for Health, a new institution established by the WAG to lead health improvements in Wales.
Launch of the Wales College of Medicine's North Wales Clinical School in Wrexham. The £12.5 million initiative will enhance the role of North Wales in training student doctors, and results from collaborations with three North Wales NHS Trusts, University of Wales, Bangor, North East Wales Institute and primary care delivery in North Wales.
Formation of a Health Policy Group, chaired by Pro Vice-Chancellor External Affairs, Professor Ken Woodhouse, to bring together academics, researchers and educationalists with professionals from the health care sector.
Roger Jones OBE, Council Member of the former UWCM and graduate of the Welsh School of Pharmacy, awarded a knighthood. Sir Roger Jones is currently Chairman of the Welsh Development Agency.
Launch of the Wales Cancer Institute (WCI). "Another step forward for medical research in Wales", said Health Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons when he attended the official launch. The WCI will co-ordinate the research of scientists and clinicians and will also help to increase investment into cancer research in Wales. It builds upon the existing Cancer Interdisciplinary Research Group in the School of Medicine. Dr Gibbons also said: "Despite recent improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, it is still one of the major killers in Wales".
A major breakthrough in breast cancer treatment has been identified by Professor Wen Jiang – the substance, known as NK4, stops every form of spread and differs from conventional treatments that only inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
A team from the Department of Psychological Medicine, led by Professor Julie Williams and Professor Michael O'Donovan, discovered a gene called KIAA0319, which is likely to be one of the causes of dyslexia in children. This major finding will give a better understanding of what causes the brain disorder which disrupts reading and writing skills. 300 families from Wales and the West of England, where at least one child suffered from the disorder, took part in the research.
Innovative Dental Simulator Suite opened at the Dental School, Cardiff. The facility includes eight computer-aided 'DentSims' which use the latest in optic imaging and simulation technologies to give dental students the best and most effective training experience possible. The equipment ensures real-time feedback and evaluation of a student's performance.
A device, known as 'Alladin' based in the School of Engineering, has been developed to diagnose the precise state of stroke victims from the time of the stroke throughout their recovery period, enabling medical staff to determine the correct treatment at each stage. 'Alladin' should be in full production within the next three years.
The Welsh School of Pharmacy's Tenovus Centre for Cancer Research has identified 168 genes involved in Tamoxifen resistance, and 141 associated with resistance to a similar drug called Faslodex, which results in limited treatment options available to patients.
Possible benefits for those suffering with Alzheimer's disease of omega-3 fatty acids (as found naturally in oily fish) will be investigated by a major £30,000 research project funded by the Alzheimer's Research Trust. The project will be led by Professor John Harwood, Head of the Cardiff School of Biosciences.
The School of Chemistry received a £4.2 million investment to create a new research centre of excellence in physical organic chemistry.
A team at Cardiff University developed a needle that is painless. The thin needle will not reach pain receptors.
The School of Healthcare Studies awarded its first two Physiotherapy PhDs to Dr Nicola Phillips and Dr Monica Busse. Their research was conducted at the research centre for Clinical Kinaesiology, a laboratory used to measure the characteristics of movement, which is run by the Department of Physiotherapy.
A £10 million investment has provided for All-Wales Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Research Centre scanners – which use a powerful imaging technique to identify a range of diseases, e.g. cancers, heart disease and brain disorders – and will be based at UHW, Cardiff.
Researchers at Cardiff University discovered a means of delivering DNA directly into skin cells. The new technique allows DNA to be spread more efficiently throughout the body.

Since coming to Washington eight years ago, Kelly Strong has helped to assemble and mold the Husky women's distance group into one of the best in the nation, epitomized by the women's cross country team winning the program's first NCAA Championship in the fall of 2008.
Strong, formerly Kelly MacDonald, is heavily involved in day-to-day operations and recruiting, and works directly with the women's distance runners along with head coach Greg Metcalf.
The past few years have seen the women's distance program rise to unparalleled heights to rank among the best in the nation. Four Huskies ended the 2008 track season at the U.S. Olympic Trials, and that success carried over into the cross country season. The women, ranked third in the preseason, quickly assumed the No. 1 ranking and then steamrolled to the NCAA Championship.
On their way to the title, the women made history by recording a perfect score at the Pac-10 Championships, the first in conference history. Washington swept the top six spots, on the home course of the second-ranked Oregon Ducks, no less, and snapped Stanford's 12-year reign.
The Huskies' incomparable depth was in evidence at the national meet, as five Huskies earned All-American honors (Christine Babcock, Kendra Schaaf, Mel Lawrence, Katie Follett, and Amanda Miller), and the entire top-seven placed in the top-51.
Washington's depth is a testament to Strong's reputation as one of the nation's best recruiters. Freshmen stars Kendra Schaaf and Christine Babcock led the team at NCAA's, with Schaaf winning Pac-10 Athlete of the Year honors and Babcock getting Newcomer of the Year. The duo, the only freshmen All-Americans in the nation, are the latest of Strong's signees that have raised the talent level at UW immensely. Her first group of women's distance signees was ranked sixth in the nation by Track and Field News, and included 2006 NCAA 1500-meter Champion and two-time All-American Amy Lia. Strong's latest recruits for 2009 include Footlocker All-American Lindsay Flanagan, the only prep to place in the Top-10 at both Footlocker and Nike Team Nationals in 2008.
The momentum from the cross country title spilled over onto the track as Washington qualified five distance runners for the NCAA Outdoor Championships, more than any school. Lawrence set the Pac-10 record in the 3,000m steeplechase, placing third at NCAA's in 9:40.98, and was named 2009 Pac-10 Track Newcomer of the Year. Anita Campbell also took third in the NCAA 10k final, while Babcock and Follett made the finals at 1500m and 5000m, respectively. Eight different Huskies qualified for Regionals in at least one event.
The groundwork for the team's national title was laid the previous fall in 2007, as the Huskies placed eighth at the NCAA Championships, then a new program high. That season, Follett and Campbell earned All-American honors with Top-20 finishes. That marked the first time UW had multiple All-Americans in the same season, and were the first for the program since 2001. Of course, the 2008 team essentially threw out the record book with five All-Americans, with Follett a repeat winner.
The 2008 track season was filled with more milestones for Strong's group. Follett, Amanda Miller, and Michelle Turner all earned All-America honors in the mile at the NCAA Indoor meet, the only school to have three All-Americans in the same event. Follett broke three indoor school records, and went on to win the Pac-10 Championship at 1500-meters. Turner then won the 1500m West Regional title, and Miller capped off her track career with an 11th-place finish in the 1500m at NCAA Outdoors, earning her fourth All-America honor. The trio then capped off their seasons competing at the U.S. Olympic Trials, all in the 1500m.
All told, 23 All-America awards have been claimed by UW women under Strong's watch in her first seven years, and the cross country program has reached NCAA's in five of the past seven years under the combined tutelage of Strong and Metcalf, with a national title now to their credit. Since 2003 on the track, the women have earned one All-American award at 800-meters, four at 1500-meters including Lia's NCAA title, five in the mile, one at 3,000-meters, one in the steeplechase, one at 10,000-meters, and one in the distance medley relay.
For many years Strong was also one of the top-ranked American steeplechasers. She was ranked in the Top-10 by Track and Field News as recently as 2008, and competed at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials but was hampered by injury. Strong also placed fifth in the event at the 2004 Olympic Trials.
A 2002 graduate of Arizona State, Strong earned five All-America honors and three Pac-10 titles during her collegiate career, and she set five school records. She also set the American record in the 2,000-meter steeplechase (6:25.98), and ranked seventh in U.S. history in the 3,000-meter steeple (9:47.68).
She was recognized in 2002 with ASU's Pac-10 Medal, and was ASU's Athlete of the Year in 2001-02. Strong and her husband, former ASU All-American Brandon Strong, were married in 2004.

You can't go to the restroom in Europe
We had dinner at a Spanish restaurant one nite in Antwerp during the World Malacological Congress last month. At one point I needed to get rid of some of the good beer I had been having, I got up and went over to the waitress (she may have been Spanish) and asked for the restroom. Restroom?, she said. Restroom, I said. Restroom?, she said. Then, I thought of saying toilet. Ah, toileta, she said and pointed at the right direction.
A couple of nites later I was having dinner with some colleagues from Great Britain and I was happy I could finally understand them without much trouble. I guess all those nites of watching Monty Python and Mr. Bean were paying off. So anyway, I told them about my difficulty locating the restroom in the restaurant. They said "You can't say restroom or bathroom in Europe. You have to say toilet". Somebody added, "In England you can also say lavatory".
Now I know. If I visit Great Britain one day, I will keep singing to myself the Lumberjack Song so that I won't forget the right word:
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea.
Note added later: I have received a friendly reminder that at least one dinner colleague was Welsh not English. Since I have no intention to offend anyone's sensibilities, I have now changed England in the original post to Great Britain. I hope that is more accurate.

Want to know just how illogical 'Batman & Robin' is?
In 1997, an abomination hit theaters everywhere: "Batman & Robin," a film so terrible that it took Warner Bros. nearly a decade to reboot the franchise. George Clooney succeeded Val Kilmer in this movie, but Chris O'Donnell reprised his role as Robin. Alicia Silverstone introduced Batgirl to audiences everywhere.
The story revolves around Batman and Robin trying to defeat Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) and Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), two villains that seem to be completely obsessed with puns and terrible jokes.
On IMDB, it maintains a 3.6 rating.
Apparently those who made the film understood quite well how bad it was. During the behind the scenes documentary, they apologized profusely and discussed what went wrong. It did gross more than $100 million in the United States so not all was lost.
Well, a new YouTube video takes a near 20-minute look at just how illogical "Batman & Robin" really is. The "Everything Wrong With" series analyzes all sorts of movies and points out the plot holes, irregularities, continuity factors and much, much more.
By the end of the film, you'll come up with puns of your own: a pain in the ice, the punning man and this film gives me the chills.

As it happened, the ticket agents didn't write anyone up and seemed to be pleased to meet the senator.

corniest corn muffins
Some days, I'm pretty sure this site is turning into something of a Dorie Greenspan Fan Club. Let us review, shall we? Dorie brought one of my favorite surprise Paris treats into my very own kitchen, directed us to the most amazing chocolate cookie, ever, her deep, dark ganache tart was the kind of easy dinner party dessert that nobody complains about and just last week, her lemon sables were the ideal palette upon which I could paint my margarita cookie aspirations. Everything you might think you like about my baking, you really like about hers. Today, her latest book ushers in another recipe that I am certain will be a repeat hit (once, of course, I get over my addiction to the shiny and the new).

Pantone just announced their coveted color for the coming year. What is Pantone? It is the "world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries". For the past couple years, this has been the color that sets the bar for all things fashion and home decor in the year to come. The 2014 color of the year is Radiant Orchid—a shade of purple with pink and fuchsia undertones.
Here are some ways to add this regal hue to your home.
1. Create new throw pillows from fabric.
Nothing is easier than getting some swatches of fabric and running a couple seams on the sewing machine. You can create unique sizes and add a variety of trims like fringe, tassles, bullion, or cording.
2. Reupholster a favorite chair
An abstract pattern can fit into a lot of different styles of décor. Choose a heavier weight fabric because of its high use. Order samples and live with them for a while first if you are hesitant in choosing.
3. Look up for color
A regular-to-heavier weight fabric in a radiant color can add pizzazz to any room. Window coverings or simple stationary roman shades are easy to make. If you are unsure about too much pattern, try the radiant orchid pattern on just a cornice board over a simple colored drape.
4. Add a simple double-side throw
Put two favorite fabrics back-to-back for a beautiful throw for a chair or bed. When you back one fabric with a different fabric, you are getting the benefits of two throws simply by turning it over. Be brave and don't be afraid to mix patterns: if they are in a similar hue, just add a stripe with a small print, a large print with a medium-sized plaid or a floral backed by a check.
Take a look at the photos and slide-show for inspiration.

Child Labour Cash Lands In Wrong Pockets
By Larry-Alans Dogbey Enoch Teye Mensah, who was recently vetted as a minister-designate, would have his character tested when he assumes office and comes face to face with a clear case of conflict of interest, involving a departmental head under the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare. The outgoing minister, Stephen Kwao Amoanor, and his deputy, Antwi-Boasiko Sekyere, appear not to have shown interest in the matter, which The Enquirer's Intelligence has revealed was investigated by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), which still has custody of it. The National Programme for the Elimination of Child Labour in Cocoa Farms, a donor-funded project under the Ministry, has become a goldmine for the officer-in-charge, Mrs. Rita Owusu Amankwah, who is the programme manager, and her husband, Yaw Owusu Amankwah, to amass funds from DANIDA, Ghana Cocoa Board and other sponsors of the programme. Mr. and Mrs. Owusu Amankwah set up and succeeded in smuggling their own Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) called 'Aid For Change Ghana,' into a group of NGOs partnering the programme and managed to advance huge sums to it, purported to be for educating cocoa growing communities against the use of children in cocoa farms. When confronted by The Enquirer, Mrs. Amankwah confirmed she was part of the NGO, but denied its ownership. She declined to give out the names of its directors and insisted she only accepted an invitation by a friend to be part of the NGO, and thought that her loving husband should also be a partner. She described her membership of the NGO, which she claimed she has since resigned, as an act of indiscretion on her part, and insisted that there was nothing corruptible about her conduct. However, investigation by this paper unearthed documents, which prove the assertion of Mrs. Amankwah deceitful. The documents obtained from the Registrar Generals Department in Accra, name her and Mr. Owusu Amankwah as the first and second directors of "Aid for Change Ghana." Mr. Amankwah is further listed on the document as the 'Secretary' and the person who, as a matter of fact, submitted the papers to get the NGO registered to the Registrar Generals' Department. As of last year, out of a total amount of GHc100, 000 earmarked for the programme, GHc40,000 was paid into the Programme Manager's NGO account at the Adum-Kumasi-Harper Road Branch of Standard Chartered Bank, The Enquirer investigations has revealed. The shocking thing about Mr. Owusu Amankwah's NGO is that at the time of advancing these monies into its coffers, the NGO, which was registered in November 2008, had no track record at all in the areas for which the monies were advanced to it, even though track record was listed as a key requirement in the selection process. Again, although the number of districts given each partner NGO was based on track record and experience, "Aid For Change Ghana," just few months after its formation, was given five districts, namely Tano South, Tano North, Ahafo Ano South, Asutifi and Dormaa in the Brong Ahafo Region, the highest number of districts given any single NGO under the project. Another scandalous thing about the project was that at the time that the huge monies were being advanced to "Aid For Change Ghana," the Department of Social Welfare, had not granted it an operational license, which was another key requirement for an NGO to operate. Other documents on "Aid For Change Ghana," sighted by The Enquirer, also reveal that another key official of the programme at the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare, one Vincent Frimpong Manu, a Programme Remediation Officer of the project, is a board member of the project manager's NGO. Indeed, Vincent Frimpong Manu, in his capacity as Programme Remediation Officer (1), applied to the Chief Director of the ministry, Mr. E. A. Akuffo, for the release of funds to 'Aid for Change Ghana', through Rita Owusu Amankwah herself, following a memo from the Managing Director of the NGO, Nelson Gyasi-Boadu, dated, June 23, 2009. It was further revealed that Nelson Gyasi-Boadu, who is based in Kumasi, is a front man for Mrs. Rita Owusu Amankwah, as she does all the paperwork in Accra, and calls him from the Ashanti Region to append his signature before sending it to the Chief Director, Mr. Akuffo, through either Mrs. Owusu Amankwah herself or Mr. Manu. Reports obtained by The Enquirer suggest that the day-to-day running of the NGO is technically done at the ministry, specifically in the office of the Programme's Manager. A careful perusal of the documents, reveal that Nelson Gyasi-Boadu, who has been requesting for monies on behalf of the NGO, as Managing Director, is not an executive council member of 'Aid For Change Ghana'. Members of the executive council include the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Owusu Amankwah, Emmanuel Amofa, Alex Owusu Adjei and one Matilda Nyantakyi Broni, based in Kumasi, and said to be a lifelong pal of Rita. Rita is reported to have fallen for Matilda's counsel, after she one day stormed the ministry and openly advised her to also 'chop' some of the donors' cash, instead of doling it out to other NGOs to 'chop'. This is said to have conceptualized the formation of "Aid For Change Ghana." The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare, Mr. Antwi-Boasiako Sekyere, when reached, told The Enquirer that the issue was brought to their (he and Mr. Stephen Kwao Amoanor) attention in September, last year by the BNI, which also informed them of its investigations. However, since that time, no attempt has been made, according to the Deputy Minister, to know the outcome of the BNI probe. "We are waiting on the BNI to bring their report to us," he told The Enquirer, when asked why the ministry had not followed up on the investigations. Meanwhile, another document written to the Chief Director by the head of the Internal Audit Unit of the ministry, Mr. Eric Afriyie, dated December 15, 2009, and sighted by The Enquirer, has called for an immediate termination of the partnership between the programme and "Aid For Change Ghana." It described the involvement of Mrs. Rita Owusu Amankwah in "Aid for Change Ghana" and its partnership with the ministry as a conflict of interest issue, and therefore it must be terminated.

The hit sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" had not even aired its final episode before talks had already started concerning a spin off. Not surprisingly, this led to widespread speculation concerning who would be cast for the roles in the highly anticipated series. Fans of the series were treated to a tantalizing tidbit of information recently. A Wednesday story by Time reveals that producers for the spin off, "How I Met Your Dad" have tapped Meg Ryan to narrate the series.
The story claims that Ryan's role in the series will largely mimic that of Bob Saget's. While it is unlikely that she will ever actually appear in the series, she will narrate every episode of the series. Interestingly, this is not the first time in recent years that Meg Ryan will have appeared on television. A Wednesday story by On The Red Carpet observes that Ryan has appeared in episodes for "Webtherapy" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
It seems as though every couple of a day a new lead about about "How I Met Your Dad" makes its way onto the internet. However, there are a few key facts that are known about this new series. Recently, it was confirmed that Greta Gerwig had been tapped to play the lead role in the new series.
Meg Ryan is best known for her success on the movie screen. Between "You've Got Mail", "Sleepless in Seattle" and "When Harry Met Sally", Meg Ryan was a dominant cinema force during much of the 1990's. If this is the start of a major comeback for the star, then fans can expect to see a lot more of Ryan in the future.
Do you think that producers for "How I Met Your Dad" made the right choice by selecting Meg Ryan to serve as narrator for the new series? Who would you have rather seen selected for the role?

Says Alyssa:"i'm at a bit of a loss as to what to bring my boyfriend's parents for christmas this year. one is diabetic so chocolate/candies is out of the question, and they don't really drink, so they've essentially eliminated every suggestion i could find by googling "boyfriend's parents christmas present". we've been dating on and off for three years but we've been a solid 'on' for over a year now, so i'd really like to get them something nice and hopefully personal because i really like them! his mom works in family preservation, she loves facebook and prime time tv. his dad is more of an outdoorsman and a huge sf giants fan. they live in pennsylvania and love traveling. i'm open to getting them personal gifts or a couple gift, but i'd like to keep it under $100-150 for both. thanks in advance!"
Hi, Alyssa - Marian here. And good move on the parent gifts! If he's a Giants fan, we know that he must be one happy, happy man right now. A small item that he might really appreciate is 1) a copy of this year's World Series Program ($15) - with the Giants cover, natch. A bit schmancier is 2) this licensed Giants World Series Champions Watch ($47).
If she likes prime time television, then she might like prime time television about prime time television doubly much, which of course means 30 Rock. The brand-new 3) original television soundtrack, collector's edition (one disc each instrumentals and songs, $31) is probably something she doesn't own yet. Or does she have a good travel hat? We're beyond the days of those weird mesh things, after all - and who could resist this crushable/packable 4) wool feather cloche ($42)? (This site has a ton of other travel hats in all kinds of styles, but c'mon.)
And if she's that into Facebook, 5) this pretty much has to be the card you attach to the gift ($5).
Good luck over the holidays, Alyssa! Let us know how it goes!
you rock!! sorry it's taken so long to comment, you posted almost exactly as i arrived at the boyf's house so i've had to be very sneaky about looking at this! thanks so so so much :)

For the most part, NFL rosters are largely set at this point, though we'll see another bit of action following the removal of June 1 cuts from teams' salary caps. There will be some tinkering here and there -- and that will continue up through training camp based on injuries -- but what you see is basically what you're going to get when the fur starts flying this fall. Nevertheless, teams are always looking to improve a little bit, and it appears that the Chicago Bears could make an addition to their defensive line.

They wanted to represent BOTH of their cultures. So what else would we do other than Matryoshka dolls, paper fortune cookies, all wrapped up in a gradient pink hue? Duh! We brought in lots of fur in the table runners, and the ceremony aisle runner. The amazing Russian Matryoshka dolls stood at attention down the aisle as well, and witnessed the touching nuptials. We layered the place settings in 4 different shades of pink napkins. Adorned each setting with a fuschia candy, showed the guests to their seats with a hand made paper fortune cookie, and backed the desserts with some feathers and glitter. It all just made for the most adorable, quirky, and incredibly personal wedding ever!

Trial Gives A Nod To Antimicrobial Treatment For Acute Otitis Media In Children
by Dr. Sania Siddiqui on March 26, 2011 at 4:19 PM Health In Focus - G J E 4
The much asked question "Can acute otitis media (AOM) be treated well with antibiotics in young children" had been a topic of serious discussion for a long period. The answer is "Yes" and is strongly backed by a recent study conducted by Paula A. Tahtinen, M.D and her colleagues at the Turku University Hospital in Finland.
319 children aged between 6 to 35 months with a carefully diagnosed acute otitis media were part of the study. 161 children received amoxicillin-clavulanate while the remaining were given placebo for 7 days. Treatment failure was seen in 30 of the 161 children who were given amoxicillin-clavulanate and in 71 of the 158 children who were given placebo. Thus the treatment failure was significantly less common in the antibiotic group as opposed to the placebo group (18.6% vs. 44.9%).
AdvertisementResearchers also found that although the incidence of side-effects is more among children who received antibiotics. Children who received antibiotics were more likely to develop side effects like diarrhea (47.8% vs. 26.6%) and eczema. However to minimize unnecessary antimicrobial treatment and development of bacterial resistance further studies have to be conducted to identify patients who may derive the greatest benefit. Towards the end of the study period it was seen that the presence of pathogenic bacteria is less in the nasopharynx of children who were treated with amoxicillin-clavulanate.
The study holds a lot of significance as physicians across the globe are reluctant to give antibiotics indiscriminately because of the probable side effects like diarrhea, oral thrush, yeast infections, allergic reactions and most importantly "resistant bacteria".
Leading AOM expert, Dr. Jerome O.Klein from Boston University School of Medicine in Boston states that, "Young children with diagnosis of acute otitis media recover more quickly when they are treated with an appropriate antimicrobial agent because in most cases, AOM is caused by bacteria sensitive to amoxicillin-clavulanate". He strongly believes that, "The issue isn't whether young children with AOM benefit from antibiotics, but whether the diagnosis of AOM is accurate. The trial highlighted the known adverse effects associated with use of antibiotics but do not address other serious complications such as mastoiditis. The young children with AOM get better faster when they are treated with antibiotics, but treatment decisions must be balanced against the risk for adverse effects, particularly diarrhea."
Peggy Sue Weintrub, MD, Clinical Professor and Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the University of California, look towards the study and its result in a different light. She said, "The question that remains is-When do we need to treat and when can we watch and wait? Placebo was definitely a successful option for more than half the children in the study. For children who look well, are old enough to easily evaluate, and can be comforted with supportive care (Tylenol and TLC), watchful waiting remains in my armamentarium. Parental wishes, history of prior infections, concerns about excess antibiotic use, and adverse effects still factor into my decision. Finally, although amoxicillin-clavulanate was used in the study, amoxicillin alone is still first-line therapy forchildren."
The study holds a lot of significance as many physicians across the globe are reluctant to give antibiotics indiscriminately because of its probable side effects like diarrhea, oral thrush, yeast infections, allergic reactions and most importantly bacterial resistance.
