J&J's $2.5B-plus metal hip settlement offer approaches April 1 deadline
Patients have until April 1 to decide whether to sign on to the $2.5 billion-plus agreement Johnson & Johnson proposed last November to resolve 8,000 patient lawsuits involving defective all-metal hip implants. It's not clear yet whether the conglomerate will draw in enough people so the settlement can move forward.
UPDATED: J&J acknowledges $2.5B-plus hip lawsuit settlement agreement
Johnson & Johnson has confirmed an agreement to fork over at least $2.5 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits alleging injuries caused by defective all-metal hip implants. A large majority of eligible plaintiffs reportedly must support the agreement for it to go forward, and legions of legal cases not included in the deal will remain in play.
Does J&J's latest metal hip lawsuit boost the number to 10,001?
With more than 10,000 lawsuits already in the mix, Johnson & Johnson must deal with yet another patient's allegation's that company knowingly sold faulty metal hip implants and didn't warn the public.
J&J will abandon metal hip replacement sales
Johnson & Johnson has had enough with metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-metal hips, disclosing that it will leave those business lines entirely behind by the end of 2014.
UPDATED: For J&J, a hip lawsuit trial victory
After losing two jury trials, Johnson & Johnson/DePuy can now celebrate the fact that a jury has ruled in its favor regarding the company's ASR all metal hip implant.
J&J pressured to settle Australian hip lawsuits
Johnson & Johnson's $8.3 million defeat in a U.S. jury trial over its ASR metal-on-metal hip implant could force it to settle a massive class action lawsuit in Australia over the same product.
J&J metal hip problems keep erupting in the trenches
As if 8,000-plus lawsuits alleging faulty all metal helps weren't enough, Johnson & Johnson/DePuy data from an Illinois hospital suggests that repeat surgeries for patients dealing with the implants keep rising.
J&J's internal docs say recalled hip was defective
A Johnson & Johnson executive testified that the company recalled its all-metal hip replacements because they didn't meet "clinical expectations," not because they were defective, but that doesn't quite jibe with internal documents.
Witness: J&J lowered own standards to deem metal hips 'safe'
When Johnson & Johnson's metal-on-metal hip implants failed an internal safety test, the company opted against fixing the issue and instead just changed its protocols, a witness testified in one of thousands of lawsuits the drug and device giant now faces.
Report: J&J knew of hip failure years before recall
Johnson & Johnson was aware of the alarming failure rates of ASR hip implants a year before the company stopped making them and two years before they were recalled.

Two Year Interview
I had every intention of writing a two year recap blog post, but session beer advocate Lew Bryson grabbed me this week for a Q&A, and I think that interview captures just about everything. So I'll send you to the Session Beer Project website so Lew can get the traffic.
We hope to see you tomorrow night at Firebrand Saints in Cambridge to celebrate. Notch Saison six packs will be bottled that morning, and we'll be bringing those along for the celebration. Cheers!

How active is the community?
Well, it's going on a decade now since KOTOR 1 came out and I was just wondering how active the community still is and how long you guys think it will be. I think it will be active for at least 2 or 3 more years seeing as there's at least 3 total conversions still being made but tell me what you think.
The forums at LF in general seem to be dying, at least to me, but I'm hopefully wrong.
Fingers crossed that LucasArts starts making games again.
Weeeeell, we could all reamain in contact if nothing else. True, LF is not as active as it once was and it has seen busier days. Still, it's lively enough that I notice a few people a week post in the various sub-forums. The Swamp seems tightly knit, I mean they all have contact with one another outside LF. I haven't been on skype in forever. Social networks...meh. I'd like to be more involved in XBL, Steam, and part of me wishes to be on PSN but that's probably not going to happen.
Everyone who is somewhat loyal to this place sticks around and posts threads and posts and such. We still talk about vidya occasionally, but yeah, if LucasArts actually released games more often that were worth talking about this place would be a lot better off.
Technically it's a zombie! Fortunately I like zombies.
I like to shoot zombies.
K1 is a classic and people who have played it and enjoyed it back in 2003 will surely continue to play it in the days to come, if not for the nostalgia of fond memories but because of the fun of it. I'm not saying that there is still this huge cult following even today but dedicated gamers won't shelf KOTOR simply because it's not "hip" anymore.
I can't speak for this subforum because I'm mostly a lurker here, but back in my Fandalorian days the Republic Commando subforum was fairly active. Five posters or so, but still fairly active.
I'll continue to visit, argue and post in Birthday threads until they turn this thing off :)
I think people just grew up too, you tend not to spend as much time online as you did back in high school. Or at least that's true for me... :p
Damn people and their growing up ruining fun for everyone, having to work and do responsible stuff, having to pay bills and stuff and then getting suckered into banging some chick, having some kids, paying for the kids, working yourself to death and giving up all of your hopes and dreams when you were younger, convincing yourself that this really dull, boring life is what you really wanted but it really isn't and you feel cold and empty inside as your family keeps you on life support even though it's your time to go and they just leave you there as a husk of an empty man, like some kind of zombie that can't move and doesn't have the will to go on but keep going on and on and on...
...what was I saying?
I love how the Selkath is in the foreground like he's the most important character in the series. Selkaths rule!
Looks fan made to me, I'd of thought Kreia would be on the cover, or maybe a whole new cover all together.
Eh it's mostly formula-based design:
1 good human
1 good alien
2 good droids
1 big bad human villain
1 small bad human villain
1 big bad unknown race villain
1 good ship
A bunch of evil ships
1 dangerous-looking planet in the background
I was talking more about the modding community.
Aaaand I'm in before the ban.
@myself (in Sabretooth form): That Selkath freaks me out.
Of course, it wasn't as extensive as this collection cover, but I didn't have much to work with while whoever made that cover obviously had the source material.
That is one sweet cover art.
Our situation kinda reminds me of Cars :D how only the faithful few stick it out.
Well I know I'm new here but Ive been lurking around this place for years so I do plan on stickin around. And maybe with the release of 1313 this place will see a little more action. :giveup:
If 1313 ends up being mod friendly that'd be even better for us since that's where the real staying power is in these forums... here's hoping anyway...
It's a pretty nice looking cover, though the inclusion of that Selkath is as stupid as it's inclusion in the original K1 cover. Should be Kreia, or anyone else that actually means something in the games (preferably K2, to balance Bastila's presence).
I've been meaning to play through K1 and 2 one of these days. Maybe after the complete Mass Effect trilogy playthrough that I'm about to do.
Haven't come on here in a long while. It's too bad the traffic has died down so much.
I don't go on forums too much anymore (unless you count Reddit).
This forum was actually the first forum I ever went on when I was about 13 or 14 (I'm 20 now) and it made me addicted to other forums for years. I hope it sticks around.
Have a good one.
Seems decently active i have little trouble finding a conversation or an answer to my question in the KoToR section and ToR sections for sure. Xwing section seems active also as well as community section.
Man, it was a 1 in 1000 odds that I discovered something to make my life worthwhile hehe. In about '05 (I'm fifteen now) my aunt took me to Walmart to pick out a game. She said pick anyone you like. I was (and still am) really into star wars, and I saw kotor1. I thought it had a pretty good cover, so I thought why not? (but the selkath, REALLY???) so I bought it. Turned out to be the best game I ever played. Since I was seven when I first played it, it took me FOREVER to finish it (dark side, hehe, I didn't know any better back then XP), but it is still the best game I have ever played to date.
Wait, this place still exists?
Well, color me surprised.
e: near the top of the front page and 3 days old? my god
Wait, what still exists?
Something exists?! What is it?
I should be more surprised than you youngin' who joined only a few years ago. Come see me whatn you get the 10_ year badge :p
LF will survive... it's like some kind of zombie vampire warewolf alien wizard that just refuses to die.
Coming from the guy who was incredulous when he figured out that we have a community. :spin:
This isn't a community, this is a zombie nation.
Mrrrrrrrraaaaaarrr... gaaammmeesss...
everything changed when the zombie nation attacked

Scouting The Golden Hurricane -- Tulsa enters Friday's match against the Bruins with a 2-1 record after scoring a big upset over third-ranked New Mexico last weekend, ending the Lobos' 23-match winning streak. Freshman Bryce Follensbee leads the Golden Hurricane with three goals and six points this year while senior goalie Mark Pais has made 13 saves and sports a 0.99 GAA on the season. Overall, Tulsa returns eight starters from the 2011 squad and they are led by head coach Tom McIntosh, who is in his 18th year at the helm of the Golden Hurricane.
The Series With Tulsa -- The Bruins and Golden Hurricane have only met twice in their history, with UCLA winning both matches. The two sides last met in 2003, where the Bruins defeated Tulsa 3-2 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Jorge Salcedo has never faced Tulsa in his head coaching career.
Scouting The Anteaters -- UC Irvine is 3-0 entering the weekend after tallying wins over San Diego, LIU Brooklyn and Detroit to start the season. The Anteaters are led by junior transfer Gor Kirakosyan, who has netted three goals and six points to start the 2012 season. Cameron Isawa, Christopher Santana, Enrique Cardenas and Lester Hayes III are all tied for second on the team with three points (1 g, 1 a). Sophomore Michael Breslin will man the goal for UC Irvine with a record of 3-0 and a 0.33 GAA in 2012.

The Anteaters are 1-8 all-time on the road against the Bruins.
Recapping the Weekend -- The Bruins played two tough opponents last weekend as they traveled east to face Maryland and Virginia. On Friday, UCLA earned a hard-fought 2-2 draw against the sixth-ranked Terrapins in front of a hostile crowd of over 6,500. Freshman goalkeeper Juan Cervantes made his first start in place of the injured Earl Edwards and performed admirably, making five key saves to preserve the draw. Junior Reed Williams provided the scoring for UCLA, scoring two goals in the first half with assists from Ryan Hollingshead, Fernando Monge and Victor Munoz. Then on Sunday against Virginia, the Bruins picked up their first win of the season with a 1-0 overtime victory over the Cavaliers. Junior defender Joe Sofia scored a golden goal in the 99th minute to lift UCLA to victory while Cervantes earned his first career shutout with three saves. The defensive play of Sofia, Matt Wiet, Chris Cummings, Patrick Matchett and Grady Howe was exceptional as well, as they held Virginia to just three attempts on goal in the second half.
Cervantes Named Pac-12 Player of the Week -- UCLA freshman goalkeeper Juan Cervantes was named the Pac-12 Men's Soccer Player of the Week for the week of Aug. 27-Sept. 2. The Gardena, Calif. native filled in for injured starter Earl Edwards and allowed only two goals in his first two career starts over the weekend. He helped the Bruins preserve a tie on Friday at No. 6 Maryland by making five saves, including a game-saving stop in the third minute of overtime, in front of a hostile crowd of over 6,500. Cervantes then tallied three saves to earn his first career shutout in a 1-0 overtime win over Virginia on Sunday. It was Cervantes' first weekly honor and UCLA's 47th all-time player of the week, the most in the Conference.
Sofia Named to National Team of the Week -- For his efforts over the weekend, junior defender Joe Sofia earned National Team of the Week honors from Top Drawer Soccer. Sofia played every single minute in both of UCLA's matches this weekend, leading a back line that was able to hang tough against 22 Maryland shots, as UCLA earned a 2-2 draw with the Terrapins. Then on Sunday against Virginia, he scored a golden goal in the 99th minute to lift UCLA to a big 1-0 road win over the Cavaliers. Sofia now has scored three goals in his UCLA career, all of them game-winners.
Defending Drake -- The Bruins hold a record 90-16-14 all-time at Drake Stadium, good for a .808 winning percentage. Last season, UCLA went 8-2 at Drake including two victories in the NCAA 2nd and 3rd Rounds. The Bruins were also 3-0 at North Athletic Field a year ago. UCLA began playing their home games full-time at Drake Stadium in 2000.
Coming Up -- The Bruins will head down the 405 freeway to take on the Loyola Marymount Lions on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 2 pm at Sullivan Field on the LMU campus.

Over 90% of all urinary tract infections are caused by Escherichia coli (E. Coli) which is found as part of the "normal microflora" in every intestinal tract. In most cases bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethral opening. Many bacteria are simply washed away by the down-flow of urine. E. Coli, however, are covered with tiny 'finger-like' projections. At the top of these projections are amino acid/sugar complexes called "lectins" which allow the bacteria to stick to the inside walls of the urinary tract and even work their way upward. D-Mannose, a naturally occurring simple sugar, sticks to the E. Coli lectins even better than the lectins stick to human cells. When a large quantity of this sugar is present in the urine, it literally coats any E. Coli present. They can no longer stick to urinary tract walls and are washed away with normal urination. Only very small amounts of D-mannose are metabolized by the body. Most is excreted through the kidneys into the urine and bladder, so it doesn't interfere with blood/sugar regulation, even in diabetics. Also, since it is absorbed in the upper gastro-intestinal tract, it does not relocate "friendly" E. Coli or other beneficial bacteria normally present in the colon.
Suggested Use
Mix 1 level teaspoon in water or non-citrus juice and drink 3 or 4 times daily. Continue until condition clears. Then take 1 teaspoon twice daily for 2 or 3 more days. In some severe conditions, dosage may be doubled. May be taken with or between meals.

Helps very well with reoccuring uti! Thank you! i will definitely keep buying this!!
First of all, I would like to make it clear that I have been suffering from UTIs for 10 years already. It is quite a long period of time, during which I have been trying heaps of medicine trying to be cured. The bacterium that constantly causes my UTIs is E.Coli. That's why I decided to try D-Mannose but I made up my mind to carry out an experiment, which would be both scientific and illustrative. Before taking D-Mannose in Powder I had my urine tests done in a special lab (both of them- simple urine test and urine culture test). Thus, I made sure that I had lots of E. Coli in my pee + nitrites. I started the course. I took this one and Urinary Tract D-Mannose. (The capsules didn't help me).Then I went to the lab and had new tests done. My simple urine test showed that my pee had become absolutely clear, the quantity of bacteria decreased (!!!). My urine culture test showed that the quantity of E.Coli diminished by 1 grade. Although, E. Coli is still present in my pee,there are quite many of them, the quantity diminished and it is such a victory, a breakthrough for me because I couldn't make E. Coli diminish previously without antibiotics (that are harmful as they kill everything- both good and bad bacteria). And D-Mannose is absolutely harmless!!! As for my subjective feelings, bad odour has disappeared and clouds have gone. I am certainly going to buy this stuff again and again and fight with E. Coli till the end. As the results showed it IS possible but it takes time. But when you have 10-year UTI experience you are ready to wait for years as long as it helps and does its function. I strongly recommend this stuff for women who have E. Coli problem. You should understand, though, that treatment may take time but it certainly goes ahead.

Allah Made Me Funny: A Brief History (2003-2011)
ALLAH MADE ME FUNNY: The Official Muslim Comedy Tour is the longest-running artistic collective of Muslim comic performers anywhere on the planet. Its comedians have toured over thirty countries, on five continents, and over 100 major world media outlets have covered the Tour. The AMMF comedians have appeared on, and/or been interviewed by, literally every single broadcast television network in America, as well as dozens of cable and satellite channels around the world.
Founded in 2003 as a solo show, "Allah Made Me Funny" began as the brainchild of standup veteran Preacher Moss, whom the Seattle Times called "A New Dick Gregory," owing to his conscious artistry, intelligent wit, and unabashedly insightful material on race and culture in America. Considering himself a "poor righteous teacher" of the Old Skool, Preach has been a successful touring standup comic for over two decades, working the club circuit and growing a successful solo comedy/lecture show called "End of Racism" as a campus favorite at high schools, colleges, and universities across the country. In 2004, Preach began collaborating with Azhar Usman, then a young comedian with only a few years in comedy under his belt. Though he was just an up-and-comer, Azhar had already shown signs of promise and vision, having helped pioneer an alternative comedy circuit (a la the "Chitlin Circuit" or the "Borscht Belt" of yesteryear), which he affectionately called "The Kabob Circuit." A former attorney and dotcom entrepreneur, Azhar cut his teeth learning standup before some of the most difficult audiences imaginable—at ethnic and religious community events. In 2003 Azhar released his self-produced, (now classic) underground comedy album, entitled "Square the Circle: American Muslim Comedy of Distortion," which maintains a cult following to this day. He was gratuitously labeled "America's Funniest Muslim" by CNN. The two men went on to collaborate with South Carolina-based club headliner, Azeem Muhammad, and together performed dozens of shows throughout the U.S. and Canada from 2004 until 2006, under the banner of "Allah Made Me Funny."
Then, in the fall of 2006, as their collaboration with Azeem Muhammad was ending, another comedian entered the mix: Mohammed Amer from Houston, Texas. Mo was already a young club headliner in the South, regularly appearing at comedy clubs, alternative local comedy rooms, and even performing for American troops doing international tours. Performing standup since the tender age of fifteen, Mo had been mentored by local comedy legend, Danny Martinez, whose mastery of the craft of standup is beyond question. After his appearance at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, Mo began criss-crossing with Preach and Azhar at Muslim community events along "The Kabob Circuit," until it became patently obvious that the three-man crew had a special artistic alchemy. What do you get when you combine three Muslim comedians: 1 African-American + 1 Indian-American + 1 Palestinian-American = ALLAH MADE ME FUNNY!
In addition to touring the world over, the three comics wrote and starred in the independent documentary/concert film, "ALLAH MADE ME FUNNY: LIVE IN CONCERT!" (director Andrea Kalin; 2008), which enjoyed a limited theatrical release in approximately a dozen large U.S. markets. The film went on to become one of the top-20 highest grossing standup comedy concert films of all time.
"Allah Made Me Funny: I respect you immensely…"
— Dave Chappelle
"The title doesn't lie."
— The New York Times
"Insightful, empowering, and hilarious!"
— Margaret Cho
"It's a fresh, funny show with enormous global potential…
Allah Made Me Funny is an idea whose time has come."
— Russell Peters

To take a page out of Kermit's book, it's not easy being blue.
We know because while we're not quite navy, we've definitely been feeling azure or even maybe aqua lately.
But according to our good doctor, Dr. Ariel Dalfen, MD, staff psychiatrist at Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto), blue is a pretty common way to feel at this time of year.
Technically, the winter blues are a form of mild depression brought on by a decrease in exposure to sunlight as we move through autumn and winter. About 25% of people are affected by it and four times more women than men (so not fair) suffer from the winter blues (and its more severe counterpart, Seasonal Affective Disorder).
The scientific scoop? The winter blues are thought to be caused by changes in melatonin and serotonin levels, which can affect mood, hunger and sleep. Sufferers experience changes in their mood, energy level and ability to concentrate. Sound familiar? While not as severe as long-term depression, the winter blues can indeed affect the way we think, react and deal with everyday challenges. (Read: blaming the cashier at the grocery store for the candy on display that your toddler is grabbing and begging for or screaming your head off when your car gets stuck in a snow bank.)
Dr. Dalfen suggests that if you experience two or more of these symptoms each year in the fall and into the spring you too may suffer from the winter blues:
So what to do to be less blue?
Shine a Little Light into Your Life - Not just the smiling faces of your children, but literally more exposure to light, especially in the morning. Try a morning walk or sit by a large window to read the paper. Car pool schedule not making this possible? Light boxes (which emit high intensities of light 10 to 20 times more than normal light fixtures) can help as well.
Run About – And we're not talking errands! Aerobic exercise, which increases serotonin levels, has proven to help combat the winter blues. (One hour doing aerobic exercise outside (even with a cloudy sky overhead) has the same benefits as 2.5 hours of light treatment indoors. Take that walk, have a snowball fight, or schedule a day of skating, skiing, or sledding.
Eat the Right Carbs – Craving sugar these days? (Thanks goodness for the Valentine's Day chocolate interlude.) Carbohydrate is effective in increasing serotonin levels—so your body knows what it's doing. Try eating larger portions of complex carbohydrates, like pasta and rice, and healthy simple carbohydrates like fruit and stay away from unhealthy snacks that will cause momentary satisfaction, but ultimately decrease energy.
Sleepytime – Oversleeping and fluctuations in your sleep-wake schedule can increase your levels of melatonin (bad). Try to set a regular bedtime and wake up at the same time each day, making sure you get the sleep you need. The week-end sleep-in apparently isn't that good for you (which we only mentioned to make you feel better every Saturday morning at 6:30 when Jack and Jill come screaming into your room).
Break Up Your Routine – The doctor's number one tip—do something you wouldn't normally do. Try an indoor rock climbing gym, take the kids somewhere you used to love when you were a kid or treat yourself to an at-home pedicure.
Try a few of these tips and you'll feel better around May (just about the same time that your kids' runny noses clear up). Dr. Ariel notes, though, that if you are not feeling better once the warmth of the sun arrives, you might want to go and talk to your doctor about it.
This season, blue is out and green is in.

GSM Motorola Droid caught on video
Shortly after Verizon announced its CDMA Motorola Droid, a GSM version of the phone has appeared over in Vietnam.
The GSM Droid looks like the CDMA one, but its nav-pad is not golden and the phone is obviously not Verizon-branded.
Specs-wise, the GSM Droid should be similar to the CDMA version, so we expect it to have a 3.7 inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen display, Android 2.0, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 5MP camera with autofocus and dual-Led flash.
Here's the video showing the GSM Motorola Droid (Michael Jackson soundtrack included):
At the moment, there are no clear details about a Moto Droid release outside the US, but the video above lets us hope that we'll soon see the smartphone in Europe and Asia too.

Open Door Hours
The front doors of Old Stone are open from 11am to 3pm Monday through Friday. One of our Open Door volunteers is on hand during that time. During office hours when the front doors are closed, visitors who would like to come to the Sanctuary or Chapel for quiet reflection and prayer may enter through the Ontario entrance.
Who Are Our Visitors?
Cleveland-area visitors include those who have always wanted to see what the church looked like inside, while others were married or baptized here, or had parents or grandparents who were married at Old Stone. Many school groups visit Old Stone to witness the site where much of Cleveland's history was made. Some people come in looking for help of some kind, and if possible, we direct them to a pastor or some other source of help. There are others who come in regularly to sit and pray.
Out of town visitors include persons from all over the world. These visitors are given the opportunity to sit and pray, but more often come to view the art and architecture of the church. Volunteers often help these visitors plan their Cleveland time by sharing information about other Cleveland points of interest and current activities.
Sunday Morning
Visitors are invited to meet with our docents by the center front pew following worship to share some of the fascinating highlights of the Old Stone Church's history and architecture.

If you haven't heard of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, it is to fantasy what Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is to sci-fi - that is, really funny while still staying true to the genre. Since all the books in the series are self-sufficient, more or less, Equal Rites ($12) is a great one to start with - in a society where only men can be wizards and only women can be witches, a young girl named Esk is destined to break this norm by being the first female to attend the magicians' academy.

Violence in the Ukraine continues with the mayor of Kharkiv being shot early Monday morning. Hennady Kernes was the target of violence amidst the announcement of sanctions by President Barack Obama. The identity of the assailant(s) is unknown, but an investigation is being conducted to determine who was responsible.
Kernes is in surgery at a local Ukraine hospital to save his life. His prognosis has not yet been announced.
As an opponent of the pro-Western maidan movement, that resulted in a regime change of President Viktor Yanukovich [in February], Kernes was viewed as an organizer of activists from eastern Ukraine sent to harass opposing demonstrators. Kernes says that he does not support Pro-Russia separatists.
Pro-Russian gunmen have seized government buildings and set up roadblocks, in an effort to demand annexation from Russia. In Kostyantynivka, a city 160km from the Russian border, masked men with automatic weapons took city hall captive.

Keep the rain gear handy today, scattered showers are likely across Central Indiana, especially as we head into the afternoon.
Highs will reach the 50 degree mark, but rain will be with us today. Wind gusts up to 30mph form the south will make it hard to hold on to your umbrella. By late tonight, .25 to .50″ of rain is possible.
Tonight the rain ends, but the breezy conditions stay. Wind gusts tonight will come out of the southwest up to 30mph.
Monday looks dry, with mostly cloudy skies. Highs will stay above average with a high in the low 40s. Monday will again be very breezy with winds gusting out of the west up to 30mph.
For the most part, this week looks quiet. Our next chance of a rain/snow mix arrives Friday.

Back to XIII Abstract Summary
This symposium will examine current research regarding mass media violence and aggressive behavior. It will consider issues such as (the content and context of violence on American television, (2) the conceptualization of media violence from a global perspective, and (3) the role of media literacy in mitigating the impact of exposure to violent media content.
Media interventions for preventing violence
Ron Slaby (Education Development Center & Harvard University, Cambridge, MA)
Television is an effective teacher that can contribute to the problems of violence or its remedies. Unfortunately, television has for decades fostered viewer aggression, fear, and desensitization by presenting unrealistic, misleading, and glorified portrayals of violence. Several new interventions and a "bystander strategy" are presented that use media to help prevent violence. Interventions include a media literacy program for juvenile offenders, video spots designed to change viewers' habits of thought, and programming designed to increase viewers' violence prevention efficacy.(back to top)

First St. Paul MB Church recently wrapped up their Vacation Bible School. Church officials thanked to the generous donations made by the Helena-West Helena Fire Department and local businesses and the collaborative effort of the church and community. Youngsters attending the VBS received backpacks and school supplies at the school supply drive. "We would like to thank the church family, community and the special people that had the heart to donate their time and make their generous donations," commented Jannie Lamar, VBS coordinator. Lamar also thanked the special teachers Dorothy Coleman, Mark Clark, Janice Jarrett, Yvonne Kirkwood, Rev. Billy Ward and Lessie Calhoun. "Without their patience and guidance, this VBS would not have been possible," stated Lamar. This year, First Paul was blessed with over $400 in school supplies and the church hopes that next year's VBS will be as successful as this year's effort. "We are truly thankful to everyone who played a part in our success," concluded Lamar.

Corruption Currents Anniversary Extra: Top Five Corruption Convictions
This week marks Corruption Current's first anniversary, and since you're probably not going to get us anything, we've cobbled together a present for everyone: A list of five men whose crimes of corruption were so profound, brazen or weird they merit special recognition. The main criterion for inclusion on our top-five list was a corruption-related conviction (or guilty plea) in the past 12 months.
5. Mark Ciavarella
Known as the "cash-for-kids judge," Ciavarella was convicted earlier this year of 12 counts of money laundering and conspiracy for sending large numbers of children to detention centers in exchange for kickbacks from the builder of the detention facilities.
The jury found Ciavarella guilty of taking a $997,600 kickback but acquitted the former Pennsylvania judge of other counts, including extortion. He was sentenced in August to 28 years in prison.
His lawyer said the sentence was too harsh and amounted to life in prison for a man in his 60s. CC readers, by and large, commented that he got off easy.
4. Rod Blagojevich
The former Illinois governor was convicted in June of 17 out of 20 corruption-related counts, including the sale of the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama. Blagojevich's first trial ended in embarrassment for the Justice Department: He was found guilty on only one count, while the jury hung on the rest.
The prosecution hasn't said how lengthy a prison term it will seek for the former governor at his October sentencing, but experts told The Chicago Tribune it could be as much as a decade if not more. The Chicago Sun-Times, citing anonymous sources, reported last week that prosecutors could seek 30 years to life in prison.
3. Jeffrey Tesler
Tesler, the former middleman to Kellogg Brown & Root and joint venture partners Snamprogetti, Technip, and JGC, pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy and violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Tesler admitted to helping the joint venture, called TSKJ, pay more than $180 million in bribes to Nigerian government officials from 1994 to 2004 in order to get $6 billion in contracts to build liquefied natural gas facilities on Bonny Island.
He has not been sentenced, but Tesler has agreed to forfeit $149 million to the U.S. government, the largest individual forfeiture in the history of the FCPA, according to The FCPA Blog.
2. Miguel Angel Rodriguez
A Costa Rican court sentenced the country's former president to five years in prison in April, after finding him guilty of taking bribes from French telecommunications company Alcatel.
Rodriguez, who led the country from 1998 to 2002, was accused of taking $800,000 in bribes from Alcatel (now Alcatel-Lucent) during his presidency, in return helping the company secure a $149 million contract to provide cell phone lines.
Alcatel-Lucent agreed last year to pay $137 million in penalties in settlements with the SEC and Justice Department over payments the company made in Costa Rica, Honduras, Malaysia and Taiwan to secure contracts.
1. Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali
In June, a Tunisian court sentenced the ousted president and his wife, Leila Trabelsi, to 35 years in prison and a fine of about $66 million for embezzlement and misuse of public funds. The trial in absentia — he and his wife are living in Saudi Arabia — lasted roughly six hours.
Ben Ali, through his lawyers, called the proceedings "a false and shameful image of victor's justice."
Most of us, however, will remember the trial as "the first public accounting of the practices of a ruler whose autocratic style first triggered the Arab Spring revolution that has swept the Middle East," as WSJ's David Gauthier-Villars described it in this report.
Honorable mentions:
-Ex-U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Porteous, of Louisiana's Eastern District, the eighth federal judge to be impeached and convicted by Congress and the first since 1989. Charges against Porteous included running a kickback scheme to assign cases to certain attorneys, taking gifts from attorneys and bail bondsmen, filing for bankruptcy under a false name and lying to the Senate and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
-Habib al-Adly, former Egyptian interior minister (and head of the country's feared security forces) who was convicted in May of money laundering and illicitly enriching himself while in office. He was the first official in Mubarak's regime to face trial since its 30-year grip on power ended in February.

So, you love your motorcycle, and you love cats. Who doesn't? How do you employ the former to help the latter? One way is a charity ride this Saturday (Caturday?), May 17th, known as "Harleys for Charley", Don't worry, all motorcycle makes are welcome. Yes, even Triumph riders. The ride will benefit Friends Forever, A Cat Sanctuary (FFACS) http://www.ffacs.org , located at 359 Nevada Street, Auburn, CA. The sign up and congregation takes place at the main gate of the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, beginning at 8:30 am. The group departure is scheduled for 9:00-ish, but you know how these group rides go, so be flexible. Destination is Auburn Recreational Park, (123 Recreation Drive, Auburn) where a BBQ lunch and raffle awaits riders and non-riding participants.
FFACS Executive Director, Shirley Hartford, heads a dedicated team of 20-25 regular volunteers, plus 100-130 others who intermittently help runn the organization. FFACS is a No-Kill Adoption facility that has placed 1,550 cats during its six years in operation. They generally have 70-75 cats in house available for adoption at any given time, but have had as many as 110. When circumstances require, they also participate in T-N-R, Trap-Neuter-Release.
FFACS functions entirely with private donations and fund raisers, receiving no funds from the city, county or state. That's where you come in, this Saturday. Registration is $25, but includes your BBQ lunch, catered by Max's Grill. This is FFACS's first-ever charity ride, so come on out and help make it a purrfect inaugural event.
Until next time, stay tuned and upright,

Rated 5 out of 5 by Christina M Nice feel & look! I bought these for a party and for a replacement for many broken stemmed water glasses. These are very elegant, have a nice sturdy feel, and clear clean style. Stacked glasses are very stable. Highly recommended! November 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Old Fashioned - Not DOF Attractive and convenient to store especially when you are limited in space. Just one clarification, these are old-fashioned glasses (hold about 8 oz) not double old fashioned (about 12 + oz). Overall, great value. August 7, 2011

What Would Happen If Superman Punched You IRL
This is a video of Jake explaining what would happen if Superman punched you in real life. SURPRISE: basically you'd be torn apart at the molecular level in a nuclear explosion. Unless he made the mistake of punching me, in which case he'd break every bone in his hand. "Oh right, because you're soooooooo tough." *unbuttons collar to reveal Kryptonite pendant* Not tough, just smart. "That's quartz." Man, yard sale people are LIARS.
Hit the jump for the much lengthier, scientific explanation.
Thanks Jake, but what would happen if Superman punched HIMSELF?

The bulk of the races from Tuesday's general election have been decided after 9,249 more ballots were counted Friday, leaving an estimated 1,500 ballots still to be counted in the election.
One race that remains too close to call is for Evergreen school board, where libertarian candidate Daniel Poletti is just 75 votes behind District 1 incumbent Julie Bocanegra. The margin between the two candidates is 0.39 of a percentage point, with Poletti getting 49.31 percent of the vote to Bocanegra's 49.7 percent.
If the race remains this tight after the remaining ballots are tallied, it would trigger a mandatory recount under state law. Elections officials must recount races that are fewer than 2,000 votes and less than 0.5 of a percentage point apart.
A county advisory vote asking voters if they would like to see a toll-free bridge placed west of the current Interstate 5 bridge also remains close. That vote sits with 50.11 percent against and 49.89 percent in favor after the Friday night count.
Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey said the issue will not head to recount, as local issues are not included in the mandatory recount rules.
At least two candidates for the Vancouver city council had conceded their races to their opponents as of Friday night.
Councilor Bill Turlay, who was challenging incumbent Mayor Tim Leavitt, announced his concession Thursday. He later sent an email to Leavitt congratulating him on his win and stating that he looked forward to working with the mayor on the council. Leavitt responded to Turlay, saying he hopes the two could grab a cup of coffee soon to discuss city priorities.
Frank Decker also conceded to his opponent, Anne McEnerny-Ogle, this week. Friday, Decker said he had sent McEnerny-Ogle an email conceding and wishing her well.
Messages left for Jeanne Stewart, who lost her bid for reelection to council, and Micheline Doan, who lost her bid to unseat incumbent Jack Burkman, were unreturned as of Friday night.
No freeholder races flipped from where they stood before the Friday count, but one race remains close, with Randy Mueller ahead of Patricia Reyes by 52 votes.
Kimsey said that race does not currently meet the criteria to require a recount.

Let $A$ be an invertible matrix such that $A^{-1}=I-A$. Show that $A$ doesn't have real eigenvalues.

Since $$A^{-1}=I-A$$ then we have $$A^2-A+I=0$$ hence the polynomial $P(x)=x^2-x+1$ annihilates the matrix $A$ and then the eigenvalues of $A$ belong to the set of roots of $P$ which are complex non real since the discriminant of $P$ is $\Delta=-3<0$.
Let $\lambda$ be any eigen value. Then $\lambda\neq 0$ since $A$ is invertible. Now, using the following facts:
I'm sure in this point you can finish by yourself, can't you?
If $A$ had an eigenvector $v$ for $\lambda$ (which eigenvalue cannot be $0$ since $A^{-1}$ exists), applying both sides of the euqation to $v$ would give $$ \lambda^{-1}v=v-\lambda v $$ and since $v\neq 0$ for an eigenvector, this requires $$ \lambda^{-1}=1-\lambda $$ to hold. But that equation has no solutions for $\lambda$ in the real numbers, as you can easily check.

Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
This wine exudes its sense of place—the personality and quality of Cabernet Sauvignon grown on Napa Valley's Rutherford Bench. Our 2008 Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon captures this area with briary blackberry, dark plum, black cherry, chocolate and tobacco leaf. The famous Rutherford Dust gives the wine cocoa-powder tannins and texture, while well-integrated oak adds toasty mocha notes to the generous aromas and expansive flavors.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Smooth and graceful, with rich, spicy, loamy earth and subtle berry shadings. Makes points with its delicacy and finesse, gaining complexity and ending with touches of licorice and mineral. Drink now through 2018. 30,000 cases made."
Beaulieu Vineyard Winery
The deep roots of Beaulieu Vineyard were first planted back in 1900, when founder Georges de Latour noticed similarities with his native Bordeaux and declared the Napa Valley ideal for winemaking. Planting vineyards in Rutherford with grafted, phylloxera-resistent French vines, the Cabernet Sauvignon that de Latour crafted from these grapes gave the world a taste of California's promise as a world-class winemaking region. In 1938, de Latour hired the young Russian-French enologist, Andre Tchelistcheff. Today, Beaulieu continues to turn to innovative practices. Most recently, they completed a new state-of-the-art winery within one of their original buildings. The Georges de Latour Private Reserve Winery utilizes the latest technology in combination with time-honored traditions for the production of this exceptional wine. View all Beaulieu Vineyard Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

A solid wine with a wonderful nose and deep color. Mouthfeel is beautiful with good extraction and outstanding fruit. Great wine for the price and much better than the WS rating might indicate. Cellared away a few to watch develop over time.

Popsters are now asking why Sarah Geronimo has cancelled her appearance on "ASAP 19" this afternoon, June 15, 2014 (Philippine time) or this evening, June 14, 2014 (U.S. time). "ASAP 19" is the longest-running musical variety show in the Philippines which airs on ABS-CBN.
Sarah Geronimo entered "ASAP 19" many years ago and she has become one of the best singers/performers in the country with the help of the show, in short, "ASAP 19" made her popular in and outside the country not only because of her talent but also because of the training that the show provided. Ten years ago, she was just dreaming of becoming a singer, and because of her superb talent, she won the title for "Star for a Night," a popular singing competition on national TV ten years ago hosted by Regine Velasquez-Alcasid.
Anyway, Sarah is now a superstar in her generation; she has blockbuster movies with actor, Gerald Anderson, John Lloyd Cruz and Coco Martin. She also had blockbuster concerts in and outside the country aside from her several commercial endorsements. Undoubtedly, she has reached all her dreams after ten years of working in the industry, actually, when you see her performing onstage, you can say, Sarah Geronimo is not working because she loves what she is doing.
But the question is; Why did she cancel her appearance on "ASAP 19" this afternoon? Will she celebrate father's day with Daddy Delfin and Divine Geronimo? For some observers, this is the right time for her to spend time with family especially Daddy Delfin who inspired and taught her to sing when she was young.
In one of her interviews, Sarah Geronimo admitted that she wants to marry a man like her father, Daddy Delfin who follows all her mother's wish. Recently, Sarah revealed her relationship with actor-athlete Matteo Guidicelli, according to her; the two of them are happy and proud of what they have right. There are speculations that Sarah decided to cancel her appearance on "ASAP 19" due to an appointment with Matteo Guidicelli, but according to some observers, said reason is just an speculation and there is no truth to that.

Anyways, once you get the Ergo you will notice
Step 1:
Trace around your template with a water soluble sewing pen onto the back (or wrong side) of your fabric.
The ribbon for the toys is such a fantastic idea!
My ergo has changed my life! I looked at those drool pads and thought "I could make those" but never did. This tutorial is fantastic and just what I needed. thank you!!!
I started with a Moby wrap and a hand-me-down Bjorn, both of which I loved, but this year for my birthday and my son's first (same day!!) we got an Ergo and I LOVE IT!
I have been wanting to make these pads and I have looked all over online and haven't found a good one. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh.My.Goodness! I thought I was the only person in the world with a baby who sucked the straps... I've been telling myself for nine months I need to make something to cover them, and now I know I'm not crazy! Thank you!
I made these today - they were really easy and turned out great. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Just wanted to let you know that I loved this idea sooo much I had to whip some up asap and write about it today on my blog! Come say hi!
This is an awesome idea! I have 2 ERGOs and they are both stained with slobber! My baby (20 months) doesn't really suck on the straps anymore, but I bet my daughter could use some for HER baby :-)
thanks for sharing!
Oh - this is so good! Thank you. I forgot to leave extra space around the template for sewing, so mine are a little bit small, but I'm going to try and use snaps instead of velcro. Thank you so much - I can't sew, but these actually turned out really well!!
Your tutorial rocks! I made one set and plan to make a few more, since we aren't finding out what we are having. I liked someones idea of using the pattern to make the car seat belt covers. I'm going to try that. Plus make one for me when my belly gets too big and the belt rubs on my neck, quite uncomfortable. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! We are now full time ergo users, and these pads came in great. We use them more as pillows than drool pads, actually, so it helps for naps.
Fantastic step by step directions
I made these today for my 4 month old grandson. Thanks for the tutorial - nice job.
Are you still selling these on Esty? It says something about you being on maternity leave. Thanks.
I NEED to make these! My son sucks on the straps every time he's in it and it's so gross! And the ribbon for toys - genius! I wouldn't have thought of that!
I would have never thought of these! Thanks so much! And, I bought thick wash clothes at Target for the terry cloth backing - easier and maybe cheaper than buying terry cloth.
Oh I love my ergo!! I found mine at the local consignment store here for $29! So making my own teethibg covers are needed too! Thank you! I never thought of the toy hook!
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing! I will definitely give making my own a go now that I have seen this!
Such a great idea to put the ribbon on it for the rings!!!! The ones I bought in Japan don't have that feature. :)
XO/Lena @ Root&Blossom
Perfect tutorial! Grabbed my fabric today from Joann's and will sew these up after little ones are in bed! Thanks so much!!
Scentsy Consultant
Great tutorial!! In the picture, it looks as though you might be wearing your Ergo too low. Your baby's head should be close enough to kiss, and the bottom should be strapped around your waist (it looks like it's sitting on your hip bones).
Such a great idea to put the ribbon on it for the rings!!!! The ones I bought in Japan don't have that feature. :) www.thesafebabyhub.com

The Truth about False Confessions
The American criminal justice system is based on the idea that guilt must be proven, and that until it is, anyone charged with a crime is innocent. That's the theory, anyway. In reality, those involved in criminal trials often have personal biases, preconceived notions, and limited access to pertinent evidence.
When you're facing a criminal charge, you most likely want to take whatever steps are necessary to defend your innocence, including hiring a defense attorney and complying with the regulations of the court. What you don't want to do is confess-especially if you didn't commit the crime in the first place.
Offering a false confession may seem like the rare behavior of a deranged or deluded individual, but in reality it's fairly common. As DNA exonerations become more frequent in cases where the suspect confessed, groups like AlterNet.org and the Innocence Project are beginning to investigate.
Before exploring the findings of various studies, let's take a moment to note some high-profile false confessions. In the 1989 case of the Central Park Jogger, five men falsely confessed to charges of rape and murder. In 2002, they were released from prison when new confessions and DNA evidence exonerated them.
In cases of celebrity crimes, like the Lindbergh Kidnapping and the murder of the Black Dahlia, dozens of people came forward claiming culpability. And, more recently, Senator Larry Craig has claimed he accidentally pled guilty to charges.
Reports from AlterNet.org indicate that, among the DNA exonerations investigated, false confessions led to conviction in about 25% of cases. That means that, after witness misidentification, false confession is a leading cause of wrongful convictions, according to the study.
If you didn't do it, why confess?
There are a few reasons. Sometimes, according to experts' reported opinions, people confess to protect someone. Sometimes, they're trying to punish themselves for past wrongdoing. Sometimes they crave fame. But sometimes, police questioning tactics are to blame.
Reports show that the average time of police questioning is one to two hours. The average time of questioning that yields a false conviction? Sixteen and a half.
In this time, studies suggest, police use manipulation, threats, misinformation (such as lying about the results of a polygraph), and even psychological torture. For those susceptible to the influence of others, these tactics can cause suspects to crack under strain and confess to crimes they never committed, according to sources.
In extreme cases, AlterNet reports, innocent people internalize the idea of guilt and actually believe they committed a crime.
And once a confession is videotaped, the confessor is as good as convicted. Even in the case of Christopher Ochoa, who agreed to confess after hours of aggressive police questioning-but couldn't get the details of the crime he allegedly committed right. Even though he was obviously innocent, police presented his confession to a jury, sources say.
What's being done?
In the early 20th century, laws existed that disallowed any confessions that had been obtained by beating or otherwise tormenting a suspect. Then, in 1991, a case introduced the "harmless error rule," which meant that confessions obtained under questionable circumstances could be admitted if there was enough supplementary evidence proving guilt.
Many see this ruling as a step backwards for criminal justice.
In some states, according to reports, steps are being taken to ensure fair questioning procedures. Some police are required to videotape entire investigations instead of just confessions. This measure is meant to prevent overly-aggressive techniques.

Whatsapp hits daily messaging record of 27 billion
CROSS PLATFORM MESSAGING SERVICE Whatsapp must be feeling pretty smug, as the company revealed today that it handled 27 billion messages within 24 hours.
The impressive milestone was reached when the service processed 10 billion inbound or "sent" messages and 17 billion outbound or "received" messages in a single day.
The record smashes the company's previous single day mark of 18 billion messages that was set last New Year's Eve.
Failing to reveal exactly when it received the new record, Whatsapp tweeted the news at midnight on Thursday.
new daily record: 10B+ msgs sent (inbound) and 17B+ msgs received (outbound) by our users = 27 Billion msgs handled in just 24 hours!— WhatsApp Inc. (@WhatsApp) June 12, 2013
The record signifies explosive growth for the web based messaging service over the last six months. The company smashed its previous record on December 31, when it processed seven billion inbound messages and 11 billion outbound messages.
Whatsapp bragged back in October 2011 when it reached its one billion message processing threshold about how many messages that was. Touting it as a "significant milestone", the firm boasted that one billion messages per day was equal to an average of 41,666,667 messages an hour, 694,444 messages a minute, and 11,574 messages a second.
Given the new record, Whatsapp's calculation should equate to a daily average of 1,125,000,009 messages an hour, 18,749,988 a minute and 312,498 messages a second.
The new record only shows the general shift away from traditional SMS texts being sent by phone users.
In April, research firm Informa said that SMS messaging had been overtaken by instant messages on chat apps such as Whatsapp for the first time, with figures showing that over one billion more app or "over the top" (OTT) messages were sent per day on chat apps in 2012.
It seems that this number is only going to escalate further, as the research firm estimated that by the end of this year 41 billion instant messages will be sent every day, compared with an average of 19.5 billion SMS texts. µ
