Nigerian girls found but cannot be rescued yet
Miami Times staff report | 5/29/2014, 9 a.m.
The 276 Nigerian girls who were abducted over a month ago during a violent raid have been found, according to the Nigerian military officials. The claims, though unconfirmed, have brought some measure of comfort and relief to local Nigerian and South Florida residents who have joined worldwide protests demanding their safe return.
This announcement came as Nigeria's commander, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, asserted for the first time that the Nigerian government had publicly claimed to know the whereabouts of the missing girls who were kidnapped April 14 from the remote northeast village of Chibok as they were taking school exams. The kidnapping, believed to have been committed by the radical Islamic group Boko Haram, has provoked global outrage and criticism of the Nigerian military for having failed to find and rescue them.
The kidnapping has sparked outrage in this community, where several organizations held rallies in Miami Gardens, Liberty City and Downtown Miami. South Florida is home to some 5000 Nigerians, many of whom are affluent working professionals who live active, but quiet lives in Miami Gardens.
In remarks carried by the National News Agency of Nigeria, Badeh, the chief of defense staff, also said the military would not undertake any rescue attempt that would endanger the lives of the girls. Their captors have publicly threatened to sell them into slavery or forced marriage.
Badeh spoke to what news agencies described as a supportive crowd of Nigerians in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, as part of what appeared to be an orchestrated campaign by the military to rebut the criticism over its handling of the kidnapping.
"We want our girls back," Badeh was quoted as saying. "I can tell you that our military can and will do it, but where they are held, can we go there with force? Nobody should say the Nigerian military does not know what it is doing. We can't kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back."
He was further quoted as saying: "The good news for the parents of the girls is that we know where they are, but we cannot tell you. We cannot come and tell you the military's secret. Just leave us alone, we are working to get the girls back."
In a further retort to critics, Air Chief Marshal Badeh said, "Anybody castigating the military, definitely there is something wrong with him."
He did not go into any detail in his quoted remarks about whether the girls remained in one group or had been split up.
At least four countries, including the United States, have joined in the hunt for the girls by providing assistance to the Nigerian military.
This reported was supplemented with reports from The New York Times.
which has been described privately by Western intelligence agents and diplomats as bumbling and ineffective in the fight against Boko Haram, a ruthless insurgent group with ties to Al Qaeda that has repeatedly struck with impunity in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country.
In the weeks since the girls were seized, dozens of Nigerians in the group's northeast regional stronghold have been killed by Boko Haram militants.
There was no corroboration of Badeh's assertion about the girls' location from American officials, who have sent drones to survey the Sambisa Forest in northeast Nigeria, a 37,000-square-mile area where the girls are thought to be held captive.
This report was supplemented with reports from The New York Times.

Below was emailed to me by FNC Kimberly Schwandt:
WH reaction to reports of a potential proposal from the House Republicans on the debt limit.
From a WH official: The President has made clear that he will not pay a ransom for Congress doing its job and paying our bills. It is better for economic certainty for Congress to take the threat of default off the table for as long as possible, which is why we support the Senate Democrats' efforts to raise the debt limit for a year with no extraneous political strings attached. The President also believes that the Republican Leadership in the House should allow for an up or down vote on the clean continuing resolution passed by the Senate that would pass with a bipartisan majority to reopen the government. Once Republicans in Congress act to remove the threat of default and end this harmful government shutdown, the President will be willing to negotiate on a broader budget agreement to create jobs, grow the economy, and put our fiscal house in order. While we are willing to look at any proposal Congress puts forward to end these manufactured crises, we will not allow a faction of the Republicans in the House to hold the economy hostage to its extraneous and extreme political demands. Congress needs to pass a clean debt limit increase and a funding bill to reopen the government.

Good service.
Like a fancier Hampton Inn.

Right at the gate to the Petra site. So glad it was near after the strenuous steps earlier! Very quick to cancel the wifi :-(

We loved our stay at the Movenpick hotel. The location could not have been closer to the entrance of Petra which was perfect after a a few days of wandering around the ruins of Petra!!!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The hotel is ridiculously conveniently located, across the street from the Petra entrance. I got a cheap but old room which frankly did not compare well with other five star hotels. Still, the rest of the hotel was classy as and the breakfast rivalled that of the Crowne Plaza resort on the Dead Sea. In fact it was better, the tea selection was excellent and their bircheler (spelling) muesli was delicious.

The location was the best. It is the closest hotel to Petra. Service was great and the breakfasts are superior.

Historical Traveler Reviews Moevenpick Resort Petra Wadi Musa
Bonito hotel, gran lugar, cerca de la Puerta de Petra
Bonito hotel, gran lugar, cera de la puerta de Petra. Hotel muy bonito, perfectamente situado cerca de la puerta de Petra - mucho m�s conveniente que estar en la zona de la ciudad principal. Habitaciones c�modas, personal atento, bonita zona de piscina. Los restaurantes son caros teniendo en cuenta la buena calidad de los restaurantes de los alrededores. El buffet es especialmente caro. Recomendamos el hotel.
No podíamos haber hecho nada mejor que estar aquí.
Tras haber pasado las �ltimas noches en un sitio un poco cutre, estuvimos encantados de llegar al Moverpick. Estaba a la altura de nuestras expectativas. El personal, atento y profesional colabor� para hacer de nuestra estancia un placer. Su situaci�n era ideal, ya que estaba muy cerca de la entrada de Petra, lo cual se agradec�a tanto al iniciar el paseo por la ma�ana temprano, como a la vuelta, ya que despu�s del paseo de regreso bajo el calor, result� maravilloso no tener que subir la cuesta que hab�a para llegar a los otros hoteles. Relajarse despu�s en la terraza con uno de los famosos helados del hotel es imprescindible. Nuestra habitaci�n era muy espaciosa y confortable y ten�a un balc�n. Era muy tranquila, ideal para poder descansar toda la noche. De hecho, ten�a todo lo que un buen hotel de 5 estrellas debe ofrecer. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.
Gran hotel y excelente ubicación
Se trata de un gran hotel muy bien situado en el que me aloj� en enero de 2006. Est� muy cerca de la entrada a Petra. Las zonas comunes son espectaculares y est�n decoradas al estilo local. La habitaci�n era grande y limpia. La comida era buen�sima, especialmente el meze y el resto de especialidades locales que serv�an en la zona del bar. Los empleados eran atentos y cordiales. Prep�rate para seguir unas estrictas normas de seguridad para entrar en el hotel debido a los ataques sufridos en Amman el a�o pasado.
Welcome relief from the desert, wonderful stay
Stop! Don't look anyfurther, you're wasting your time. This is a great hotel and the service, beauty and the convenience factor eliminates all other entries. It's over the top. You're literally steps from the entrance gate to Petra so in the extreme heat fo the afternoon when you are climbing back up the hot and dusty path from the siq in Petra, you are so glad you picked this hotel.
The Hotel is almost "charming" but still has a masculine feel to it. It is large but not too big. The decor is elegantly middle eastern and very beautiful. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. The Reception was warm, polite and efficient, and although our room wasn't ready, we understood as we arrived well before noon. They stored our luggage while we spent a few hours in Petra.
It was absolutely blazing hot while we were there (late May) and when we returned to the hotel the pool was the most welcoming thing on earth. Although quite cold! I opted to sip a nice cold beer to cool off in the shade by the pool and found a bit of heaven.
The AC in the huge room was perfect as was the bed and decor. The breakfast was typical for the nicer hotels in Jordan, except the breakfast room here is prettier. It consists of a fantastic buffet of fresh vegetables, yoghurt, cheese, cereal, juice, bread and even American things like eggs and meat. We ate dinner at the hotel after deciding we were too tired to go out. Decided on the quiet more formal restaurant rather than the popular buffet and were treated like royalty. I can't say anything negative about the entire experience.
I do hope that I return to Petra someday and if I do I will definelty stay here again.
Un hotel excelente
Su situaci�n es ideal a la hora de visitar Petra, ya que la entrada de acceso a la ciudad se encuentra a s�lo unos minutos de hotel.
Decorado al estilo oriental con mucho gusto, y con un lujo notable pero sin afectaci�n. Habitaciones muy tranquilas y agradables.

Great hotel and excellent location
I stayed at the hotel in January 2006. It is a great hotel very close to the entrance to the site of Petra. The public areas are spectacular and decorated in local style. The room was a good size and clean. The food was great especially the meze and other local specialities available in the bar area. Staff friendly and helpful. Be prepared for stringent security measures to get into the hotel following the attacks last year in Amman.
Great choice
Stayed at the Movenpick for two nights last week, and I loved it. The room was huge with fresh fruit, bath salts, etc on arrival, the hotel was beautiful, and the rooftop bar was the single best thing about Petra (besides the ruins)- dinner, Jordanian wine, a water pipe, and the sun setting over the hills.
Although many Americans are nervous about visiting the Middle East, Jordan is a beautiful and friendly country, and I encourage everybody to go and see it for themselves. Everybody spoke english (95% of all street signs are in english & arabic), the scenery was magnificent, as was the weather. I'm looking forward to bringing my daughters in two years when they are 9.
I also encourage folks to cross at the southern Eilat/Aquaba crossing. It was very fast and efficient on both the Israeli and Jordanian sides (less than 30 minutes). Coming back into Israel at the Allenby Bridge took 4 hours.

Couldn't do better than stay here
After having stayed in a ropey place a few nights before, we were delighted to arrive at the Moverpick. It more than lived up to our expectations. The attentive and professional staff helped to make our stay very enjoyable.
Ideally situated close to the gate for an early walk into Petra. Conversely after a hot walk back it was wonderful not to have to walk up the hill had we been staying else where. Relaxing afterwards up on the roof garden eating one of the hotels famous ice creams
is a must.
Our room was very spacious and comfortable with a balcony. Also very quiet for a good nights rest. In fact everything a good 5 star hotel should be. Thoroughly recommended.
Nice hotel, great location near the Petra Gate
Very nice hotel, perfectly situated next to the gate into Petra - much more convenient than staying up in the main town area.
Comfortable rooms, helpful staff, nice pool area.
Restaurants are expensive considering the good quality restaurants nearby. The buffet especially is over-priced.
Recommended hotel.
Top Hotel
If you're going to Petra, you'd probably like to stay close to the main attraction;The Petra Siq and temples. This 5-star hotel is right at the entrance, and it doesn't get much better than that.
The pictures on the Expedia website don't quite do it justice, for I found the room to be much nicer than I had expected. It was modern, clean and comfortable - I even had a small balcony. There was turn-down service every night (and yes, with a small chocolate placed on the pillow).The air condition worked perfectly.
The TV set provided CNN US and BBC World, among german, french and of course arabic stations.
The bathroom - which had a tub - was clean, modern and stacked with amenities. (In my room the drain ran too slow, and in spite of all staff efforts did not work perfectly for the rest of my stay).
The hotel is beautiful - especially the public areas, with the magnificient atrium in the middle, but what really impressed me was the attentiveness and cordiality of the staff.Through the years I have stayed in some 5-stars hotels, and this staff gets top notch.
To my surprise I found that this hotel does not have an ATM. There are banks \ ATMs in the nearby town,though.(20 minutes walking, 2 minutes by taxi) You will need JOD for the entrance fee for the Siq (JOD 21,-)and, if you wish - the horse \ donkey services when you go through it. (I myself walked, and would recommend just that)
Breakfast at the hotel (which was included in my rate) is a treat. A rich selection of foods and drinks, eggs made to your liking, and a relaxed,luxorious atmosphere all over.
I have mentioned two small minuses.However, I will gladly give this hotel a top rating, because of its high standard, its staff, and for the absolute 5 star hotel feeling you can enjoy after walking the breathtaking Petra site. This is the place to stay.
TripAdvisor Reviews Moevenpick Resort Petra Wadi Musa
Travel Blogs from Wadi Musa
In Search of Indiana Jones
Although much has been written about Petra, nothing really prepares you for this amazing place. It has to be seen to be believed. Petra, the world wonder, is without a doubt Jordan's most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction. It is a vast, unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who …
What an exhausting day. I would suggest if you go to Jordan, you MUST see Petra. However, go in the afternoon and be sure to spend the night. You want to see this place in the cool breeze of the morning. Also, it is beautiful at night and you can buy a 2 day pass for 5 JAD more. The entry fee is 21JAD for one day and 26 for 2 days. Our day start...Petra, Jordan nonrevver

About Me
**** Whole New Wardrobe That Needs To Be In Pictures! 40 pieces and Counting. Themes are picked. I have several locations in mind, although a few scenes might need to be tracked down. If you're in/around Portland, OR message me for details.**** Also: Working on some Cosplay pieces and looking to shoot "poster" shots. Locations scouted, all I need your help to bring these to life. Message me for details.****
A little about me: My name is Kae. I've been modelling since I was 12, even went to school for it at the Winter Park branch of the New York Model Connection, graduating at the top of my class (I'm not exactly sure how much this little fact is worth to anyone considering I can't seem to find any record of their existence anywhere on the internet. But I know I went somewhere every other Saturday for a year.)
I have just as much background in Theatre, Dance and Music. I have studied Kung Fu and Tai Chi, which I only mention because all these things combined have made me very aware of my body, and comfortable in it. Also, my studies have made me fairly strong and flexible, which can lead to some pretty amazing photos.
I am hoping to create Art. Beautiful pictures that express something other than "I'm taking pictures of a naked woman". Those pictures are cheap and disposable in the truest sense of the words. I want to take pictures that tell stories longer than a thousand words. Let's create something wonderful together.
If however, you just want to see me naked, I make weekly appearances @ Union Jacks on Burnside.

Producer Adi Shankar (The Grey, Dredd) has followed up on his "Punisher film that wasn't a Punisher film," Dirty Laundry. Shankar uploaded another bootleg Marvel film to his official YouTube account last week. The film essentially inserts Spider-Man's evil counterpart Venom into the cult mockumentary Man Bites Dog, and is written and directed by Joe Lynch off an idea by Shankar.
True Blood's Ryan Kwanten plays rogue journalist Eddie Brock, who so visibly wants to project a James Dean rebel cool that his facade is not so much cracked as dripping off before it dries. With his tie tucked into his shirt, it almost resembles the Venom logo (or maybe that's too much fan-geek projection, but screw you, it totally does). Followed around by a Belgian documentary team in the gritty '80s of New York, Kwanten crawls headfirst into the sleaze and blood of a huge, wild city to get the story any which way he can…even if that means changing the details to make it more exciting.
Along the way, we get sly allusions to Venom's usual tricks–terrorizing Spider-Man's family, muttering to the symbiote, and swapping appearances in a blink. There's even a weightlifting scene that alludes to an old issue in which the Venom suit augments Brock's exercise gains. And yes, there appears to be some brain-eating.
But while that's fun fanbait, what's really interesting is how glibly Brock manages to disregard any obstacle to what he wants: plowing through police lines, greasing a cop's palm, ignoring a dying man's need for help, and destroying evidence if it makes for a better story.
It's a lot of character establishment for a short film: Brock wants to clear his professional name, Brock wants to be liked, Brock wants to be hailed as a great journalist…but he doesn't want to adhere to the principles of journalism, he has little regard for other people, and he flagrantly smears his own reputation by violating ethical considerations on camera. What you're left with is a portrait of someone who has a lot of ego and not a lot of attention span, feckless about his mistakes, and willing to react disproportionately to cover them up–he may not be a psychopath, but he's certainly the exact opposite of a young man who believes with great power comes great responsibility.
It all culminates in an extremely intense scene, as no one's sure what's about to happen, but Brock keeps smiling and explaining away the alarm felt by the filmmaking crew. It's a good payoff after watching him try (and fail) to mollify the concerns of everyone he encounters throughout the documentary. He throws all of his energy into convincing people no harm, no foul, when he could so much more easily stop causing harm. Even his over-the-top New York accent gradually appears to be more of an affectation by a man who changes identities and priorities even faster than he changes clothes.
Shankar describes himself as an "unrepentantly" R-rating focused filmmaker, so these "Bootleg Universe" fan films flesh out Marvel's darker side with a competence lacking from the entertainment studio's for-profit efforts (Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and their Punisher films). Plus there's a cameo scene post-credits from another hyperviolent Marvel character.
Kwanten deserves praise for this build-up, keeping Brock moving (and shaking) forward so fast through a city boiling with violence. It's smarter to follow him and hope everything will work out than to stand still and question what's wrong with him long enough for some other predator to assert itself. In just a few minutes it becomes apparent that, in a true New York story, Venom is an alien, but he's also a hustler with a dream of making it big.

Designed exclusively to protect substations
The patented TransGard System was designed exclusively to protect substations from outage caused by squirrels, raccoons, cats, snakes and other animals. TransGard fences deliver a mild electric shock that deters climbing animals but won't harm them, or humans – a humane approach that, according to an IEEE survey, offers the most effective barrier against animal incursion.
The patented TransGard System offers unique design features that provide exceptional animal deterrence – and years of uninterrupted performance:
- Freestanding design TransGard fencing installs on the ground, requiring no postholes, foundation or concrete. TransGard requires far less material, expense and time than a perimeter fence.
- Easy installation A crew of three can complete a 300-foot TransGard enclosure in just four hours with basic tools – no special training, no heavy equipment, and no power interruption required during installation.
- Modular fence panels The system's basic building block, the 4' x 10' panel, creates a modular design – any section can be used as hinged gateway, providing quick maintenance access. Substations can easily reuse panels, reconfigure a fence, or add new panels to expand a system.
- Engineered entryway The system offers substation access through a non-electrified entry system, designed with a smooth finish and tightclearances to prevent animal intruders.
- Durable materials TransGard's PVC and steel construction requires no scheduled maintenance – and offers the advantage of a 20-year track record of service in all weather conditions.
- Galvanized steel bases Specially designed circular stand bases create a strong, level fencing system.
- Snake protection TransGard's optional snake prevention panels deter snakes as small as 1/4" in diameter.

"It's like the NCAA went out of their way to try and Make it tough for Wichita State. Why is it Wichita State's fault that all the other teams in their conference suck? They (NCAA) made it almost impossible for them to make it back to the Final Four".
---Charles Barkley on WSU's tourney draw
As the brackets were being announced yesterday, I kept wondering what the field in the Midwest Region had done to so irritate the selection committee. Usually there's some mild disagreement from the pundits on which of the regions are toughest, but there was collective head shaking in unison and audible gasps over the depth and difficulty as the Midwest Region was unveiled last night.
If you're a Shocker fan, you're probably grousing that the committee did you no favors and only Arizona, in the West, has a path even half as dangerous as WSU—but how about Louisville? The Cardinals are playing as well as anyone in the country right now, have lost only five times all season and end up with a four seed. Not only that, but a four seed in a region with Michigan, Wichita State, Duke and Kentucky amongst others. Rick Pitino might be within his rights to ask for a recount.
In case you're counting, the Midwest has three of the Final Four from last year, including the defending National Champion and Duke. Whatever team survives this gauntlet is the one you want to have in a foxhole with you.
As if they needed it---
I can Gregg Marshall playing the conspiracy card with his team. You know, "sure they gave you the number one seed, but they planted it in a minefield". I really like the Shockers into the Sweet 16, where their matchup with Louisville might end up being the game of the tournament. The most brutal MMA would be tame compared to that struggle, what with their styles of play, their recent history and Wichita State's claim to unfinished business.
'Cats and 'Cats---
Bruce Weber won't have far to look to find a little chip for his team's shoulder. I don't think I heard one analyst over about three hours last night that gave K-State any chance against Kentucky. Never mind that KSU comes from, arguably, the best conference in the country and are facing a team that, inarguably, comes from the nation's weakest power conference. Kentucky has lost 4 of its last 7 and has questionable guard play, but they'll have a decided size advantage. K-State has to get back to defending to have a chance in this one, being a four point underdog sounds about right.
Rock Chalk---
Nothing's easy in the NCAA Tournament, but compared to the Shockers and Wildcats the Jayhawks have the most manageable route to the Final Four. They've already handled their most likely third round matchup with New Mexico; the odds would leave them with either Syracuse or Ohio State to reach the Elite Eight, before a likely rematch with Florida to get to Texas.
Other intrigue---
Best early upset chances by region:
Midwest: Tennessee beats Iowa, then UMass
East: St. Joe's over UConn or Providence beating North Carolina
South: Stephen F. Austin over VCU is becoming too popular a pick. I love McPherson native Brad Underwood's team and it's one to watch against the normal upset darling that is Shaka Smart. Underwood, one of the nicest guys in all of coaching, cut his teeth in the Kansas Jayhawk League before becoming an assistant for Bob Huggins at K-State. He stayed through Frank Martin's tenure in Manhattan and went with him to South Carolina when he was passed over in favor of Bruce Weber. This in Underwood's first season at Stephen F. Austin, where he was the Southland Conference coach of the year and where his team has won 28 straight games headed to the tourney. But I digress.
How about Stanford pushing New Mexico?
West: I'm not sure how much conviction I have, but I do like Nebraska's chances against Baylor.
A high five to Danny Manning, who got Tulsa back to the dance for the first time since 2003. The second year head coach and former KU star lead his team to 11 straight wins to close the season, they're in tough against a really good offensive team in UCLA, but it's good to see Manning and Tulsa back in the NCAA.

POSTED: 09:50 AM MDT Jul 19, 2013
Colorado nonfarm payroll jobs were up 11,000 from May to June, exceeding the previous peak by 4,800 jobs over May 2008.
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment said Friday the unemployment rate increased a tenth of a percentage point to 7 percent over the same period, compared with the national unemployment rate of 7.6 percent, which was unchanged.
The department says the number of payroll jobs in June were up slightly to about 2.4 million in Colorado.

Aerobic fitness is all about improving cardiovascular function, and inorder to determine how much aerobic exercise one should do, and at whatintensity, a person needs to understand how their maximum heart rate affectstheir fitness level. Knowing the maximiumheart rate the body should be at can help determine which type of aerobicexercise is best for a single person's body, and assist them in becominghealthier overall.
Maximum heart rate can vary depending on age and fitness level, but agood standard for determining what an individuals maximum heart rate should beis to start by subtracting one's age from 220. 220 beats per minute is the absolute maximum that can be attained by ahuman (usually never seen accept in small children). For example, if a person is 35, they canbegin with a maximum heart rate estimation of 185. This means that as they're working out, toget into a target zone for buring the most fat and working the heartaffectively, their pulse rate should never rise about 185 beats perminute.
This may seem high, and some prefer workouts that are just as effectivebut not as intense. In this case, theymay want to aim for 60-70 percent of their maximum heart rate. Or, alternate between higher intensityroutines on one day and lower intensity on other days.
Heart rate is a quick indicator of how fit a person is, which is whyphysicians check it at annual physicals and use it as an indicator forproblems. No matter whether a personwants to work out at an extremely high intensity, alternate days, or keep theworkout intensity lower when just starting out, heart rate is an excellentindicator of how hard the body is working, and how fitness level is improvingover time.

Rogue Valley
Updated 12/6/2012
Saturday: Chris Koza's folk-pop outfit releases the vinyl edition of its "Seasons" project at the Cedar.
Rogue Valley
8 p.m. • Cedar Cultural Center • $10-$12
In 2010 Chris Koza set his Rogue Valley sights on releasing four albums in a year's time, coinciding with each of the four seasons. More impressively, he actually pulled it off and tonight's show celebrates the vinyl release of a best-of collection of his ambitious "season project." The folk-pop sextet's orchestral compositions are like indie evergreens -- lush regardless of the forecast. But Thanksgiving weekend seems as good a time as any to toast accomplishments. Joey Ryan and the Inks and Meredith Fierke open. MICHAEL RIETMULDER
7:30 Sat.; 8:30 Sun. • First Avenue • 18-plus • $25 (sold out Sat.)
If superstorm Sandy didn't convince Craig Finn and his fellow Upper Midwestern bandmates in the Hold Steady that it's time to get out of New York, then maybe another two-night stand at First Ave will. There's still no firm date for the quintet's sixth album -- the 2 1/2-year wait since "Heaven Is Whenever" is unprecedented for the fast-moving, workmanlike rockers -- but recent shows have included new songs. Indiana's stark and dramatic roots-punk band Murder by Death opens both nights and will also play a free in-store gig to promote its new Bloodshot release, "Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon." (3 p.m. Sun., Hymie's Records, 3820 E. Lake St., Mpls.) CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER
9 p.m. • Mill City Nights • 18-plus • $29.50-$32
How exactly an artist who once put a bloody crucifix on an album cover winds up aligning himself with conservative ideals is anyone's guess (to be fair, Lewis still digs weed). But the full-voiced frontman of Massachusetts nu-metallers Staind has embarked on a solo country career and espoused the Tea Party's "Don't Tread on Me" slogan in new single "Country Boy," featuring country legends George Jones and Charlie Daniels. Best we can tell, his recent debut LP "The Road" is sacrilege-free, but he shows his U.S. pride on a track titled "Red, White & Blue." Randy Montana opens. M.R.

FORT LEE, Va. (April 4, 2013) -- When you feel sick, you want to get better fast, however, antibiotics are not always the answer for a speedy recovery. They can actually be harmful when they are prescribed and not needed. Taking them when there isn't a reason to can create antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics are powerful drugs, but they are not the cure for every illness. When antibiotics are misused, bacteria can become resistant and then has the potential to threaten your life in subsequent situations where antibiotics would have helped.
Two types of germs make our bodies sick -- viruses and bacteria.
Viruses cause most upper respiratory infections such as colds, flu, coughs and sore throats. These illnesses do not get better when treated with antibiotics. Viruses are best handled by treating the symptoms and letting your body's immune system fight the germs.
Bacteria cause some infections, like strep throat, and usually get better when treated with antibiotics. Only your medical provider can decide if an antibiotic is needed to treat your illness.
There are several problems with taking an antibiotic to treat a virus. They can cause side effects and over use of antibiotics may lead to the growth of resistant bacteria.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are several options instead of taking antibiotics for a virus. For upper respiratory infections, such as sore throats, ear infections, sinus infections, colds, and bronchitis, CDC recommends getting plenty of rest, drinking lots of fluids and consider using a humidifier or cool mist vaporizer. Also, it's important to avoid smoking, second-hand smoke, and other pollutants (airborne chemicals or irritants). For adults, you can take acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen to relieve pain or fever (for children, it's best to consult your doctor's office first to find out what is safe to give to your child).
For children and adults, over-the-counter pain relievers, decongestants and saline nasal sprays may help relieve some symptoms. Remember, always use over-the-counter products as directed. Many over-the-counter products are not recommended for children younger than certain ages.
Over-the-counter medicines may help relieve symptoms such as runny nose, congestion, fever and aches, but they do not shorten the length of time you or your child is sick.
To relieve sore throat irritation, according to the CDC, use ice chips, sore throat spray, or lozenges (do not give lozenges to young children). Use a clean humidifier or cool mist vaporizer
Take acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen to relieve pain or fever (read about what is safe to give your child). For more information on other treatments, visit www.cdc.gov.
Remember, antibiotics are powerful drugs and are not always the best cure.


text: 7. Monetary and credit aggregates for the year 2002-03 reflected the impact of mergers that took place in the banking industry. During 2002-03, the growth in money supply (M3) was 15.0 per cent (Rs.2,24,576 crore) as against 14.2 per cent (Rs.1,86,782 crore) a year ago. However, net of mergers, M3 increased by 12.1 per cent (Rs.1,81,984 crore) which was well within the projected trajectory. Among the components, growth in aggregate deposits of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) at 12.2 per cent net of mergers (16.1 per cent with mergers), was lower than that of 14.6 per cent in the previous year. The expansion in currency with the public was lower at 12.5 per cent (Rs.30,263 crore) as against 15.2 per cent (Rs.31,849 crore) in the previous year.

The 9.0 magnitude
earthquake that hit the northeastern coast of Japan on March 11, 2:46 p.m. JST
was the most powerful on record. The following tsunamis, extensive fires and
nuclear power plant explosion in the Fukushima prefecture exacerbated the damage
of the quake. The cost of rebuilding from Japan's devastating earthquake and
tsunami could reach $235 billion, or 4 percent of Japan's GDP, the World Bank
said in a report Sunday. That compares with $100 billion in damages, or about 2
percent of gross domestic product, from the 1995 Kobe
earthquake.Why JPY strengthens? The yen's surge
in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami may have seemed counter-intuitive at
first glance, but it reflected, in part, market speculation that Japanese firms
and the Japanese government will repatriate money now invested overseas in order
to pay insurance claims and the cost of rebuilding. The massive reconstruction
and repair task ahead of Japan is constructive for the Japanese yen (JPY).
In general, the financing of reconstruction could come from a mixture of
sources: insurance companies, government bond issuance, asset liquidation and
reallocations of public spending. Given Japan is the world's largest creditor
nation and the world's second largest current account surplus, financing flows
from these financing sources are expected to support JPY. Funds that have been
invested abroad by Japanese investors and corporations will be repatriated back
into Japan for rebuilding. Foreign insurance companies may need to purchase JPY
to provide pay-outs to Japan. Japanese insurance companies that have not
invested enough in Japan to cover their losses will have to liquidate their
holdings of stocks and bonds abroad and buy back JPY. On top of that,
there is no outflow of investment funds to offset the repatriation flows as
Japan does not have a large amount of overseas hot money investments that tend
to move in and out of the country frequently. Japan's bond market is the
second-largest to the U.S. in outstanding debt in circulation, and the
overwhelming bulk of public debt is held domestically. Foreign bond purchase at
the cost of JGB's is a risk-seeking action for the Japanese investors and banks.
The decline in risk appetite will dampen appetite for overseas investments.
Thus, it is highly unlikely that they would shift their funds away from JGB's
into overseas investments under current national crisis, virtually eliminating
the exposure to capital flight and any massive JPY selling. Japan also
enjoys its status as one of the several international reserve currencies, and as
a safe haven, one of the few currencies to appreciate versus the USD during the
recent global financial crisis. The appreciation of the JPY following the
earthquake is reminiscent of how the USD appreciated as a safe haven amid the
subprime mortgage crisis. This special status was underscored last week when the
JPY strengthened to a post-WW2 high of 76.25 against the USD, soaring past the
previous record of 79.75 reached in April 1995 in the aftermath of the 1995 Kobe
earthquake. Concerted intervention to stabilize
JPYTo curb the JPY surge, the G7 countries conducted a joint FX
market intervention last Thursday. USD/JPY jumped up to around 81-82 after the
intervention from about 79. The Bank of Japan is estimated to have sold about
two trillion JPY (USD 25 billion). The Bank of Japan and their G7
partners seek to counter one of the biggest economic threats as Japan rebuilds:
that sharp appreciation of the JPY to uncompetitive levels could be a drag on
the Japanese economy, which depends heavily on exports for economic growth. The
joint intervention aims to achieve an "announcement effect," to defend the 80
level for the USD/JPY. By containing JPY they could reduce the squeeze on
exporter earnings, helping corporate and investor sentiment to recover, a key
factor in reviving growth and helping restore stability to asset markets after a
turbulent week. The G7 statement indicates that the market action was a
result of Japan's request to the U.S., UK, Canada and ECB for "concerted
intervention." The statement further indicates that the move reflects G7's
concern about "excess volatility and disorderly movement in exchange rates,"
which could have adverse implications for economic and financial stability.
What happens to JPY next? While the
effectiveness of the intervention remains to be seen, the G7 delivered a strong
message and action. The joint intervention is likely to have a meaningful impact
in discouraging speculative JPY purchases in the short term. It has successfully
defined a psychological bottom at around 79-80, beyond which could heighten
chances of more intervention. Ultimately, similar to the joint
intervention in 2000, it is about stability, not driving the JPY down. If the
USD/JPY stabilizes a decent clip above where they started for a couple of weeks
and then drifted down gradually over the next month or so, that will be deemed a
successful intervention. The risk for JPY in the next few months is
biased towards more appreciation. General risk aversion, currently driven by the
unstable situation at Japan's damaged nuclear power plant and ongoing tension in
the Middle East, tends to strengthen the JPY as safe haven. Moreover, as
Japanese investors' risk appetite declines given this devastating natural
disaster, JPY selling will be diminished as JPY will not be used as a funding
currency to support purchases of risky assets. It is true that JPY
appreciation since the earthquake has been largely attributable to the market
speculation over the repatriation of funds, and not necessarily to the actual
repatriation flows. But experiences from the 1995 earthquake in Japan indicate
that real repatriation efforts do not begin in full force until weeks and months
after the quake itself. Also, note that the rise in risk reduction tendencies
may lead to increase in FX hedge ratios for foreign assets held by Japanese
investors and corporations. As a result, JPY will rise as repatriations
actually occur in the coming months, given there will be less flows to offset
JPY purchases. JPY could become the strongest currency in the coming months as
JPY appreciation will advance not only in USD but against other currencies as

by Virginia Woolf
Tools of Characterization
Character Analysis
When settling upon the name "Orlando" for her protagonist, Virginia Woolf may have been inspired by the character in As You Like It by Shakespeare and/or the epic Italian love poems "Orlando Innamorato" and "Orlando Furioso." In As You Like It, Orlando is a young, somewhat clueless nobleman who receives lessons in love from a beautiful noblewoman named Rosalind…who's disguised as a man (OK, never mind). Although Orlando's gender doesn't change, the rest of As You Like It sports plenty of gender-bending that helps expose "man" and "woman" as socially defined categories.
In "Orlando Innamorato" and its continuation "Orlando Furioso," the hero is an Italian knight named – you guessed it – Orlando. In the first epic poem, he falls in love (that's what the "innamorato" means) with a pagan princess named Angelica. In the sequel, Orlando's love for Angelica actually drives him mad (that's what the "furioso" part means). In the background to all this loving are duels, wars, and battles. Virginia Woolf's version of Orlando could well have taken a similar direction – when we first meet Orlando he's intent on going to war and swinging around a big sword. A few pages later, Princess Sasha is driving him a little crazy. Well, Woolf alters the story so it becomes immersed in the questions of life and literature.
Direct Characterization
"She had been a gloomy boy, in love with death, as boys are; and then she had been amorous and florid; and then she had been sprightly and satirical; and sometimes she had tried prose and sometimes she had tried drama. Yet through all these changes she had remained, she reflected, fundamentally the same. She had the same brooding meditative temper, the same love of animals and nature, the same passion for the country and the seasons" (5.14). Having a "biographer" write the whole story really is quite beneficial since (s)he just tells you about the character all the time.
Thoughts and Opinions
Thoughts and opinions are very relevant in this dialogue-scarce book. Nick Greene's thoughts and opinions, for example, establish him in a vaguely ridiculous and comedic light, while also highlighting his class difference from Orlando. In contrast, Orlando's thoughts and opinions actually show us the "brooding, meditative nature" that the biographer assures us is one of Orlando's chief qualities.
Speech and Dialogue
There's not a whole lot of dialogue in Orlando, but speech is a significant tool to characterize the class circumstances of at least two minor characters: Nick Greene and the Widow Bartholomew. We'll start with Nick Greene, who has a bad French accent. Convinced that writers should write for the sake of the divine "Gloire" (meaning "glory" in French), Greene mispronounces the word so it comes out like "Glawr." This indicates Greene's lack of education and experience in high society. The Widow Bartholomew speaks with a cockney accent, indicating her working class background. Orlando, of course, speaks with no discernible speech pattern, which makes perfect sense given his/her position in society.

This is looking promising. 3rd going into the home straight...Southampton faultering. My favourite two teams, Hammers and Blues look like they MAYBE returning to the place they were wrongfully demoted from last term. MAYBE, just MAYBE, we will be then bought by someone who wants to invest, not spend time in prison....Maybe....:-)
Yes it is very promising, i just wonder if our small squad is starting to look even thinner, Zigic is injured, King not 100%, N'Daw struggling. I know CH is working hard in the loan market, it would be a shame if a great season does falter on injuries. Apart from West Ham i dont see anyone to worry us, but having followed the Blues for 50 years i always expect the unexpected!We are seeing some of the best football at St Andrews for many years and long may it continue.KRO

Adaptive compression against a countable alphabet
Dominique Bontemps, Stéphane Boucheron, Elisabeth Gassiat
This paper sheds light on universal coding with respect to classes of memoryless sources over a countable alphabet defined by an envelope function with finite and non-decreasing hazard rate. We prove that the auto-censuring (ac) code introduced by Bontemps (2011) is adaptive with respect to the collection of such classes. The analysis builds on the tight characterization of universal redundancy rate in terms of metric entropy by Haussler and Opper (1997) and on a careful analysis of the performance of the ac-coding algorithm. The latter relies on non-asymptotic bounds for maxima of samples from discrete distributions with finite and non-decreasing hazard rate.

Trout fishing in the summer months can be a hit or miss affair, at times the trout will eat anything that appeals to them, sometimes chasing it across the stream to intercept it. Other times they will refuse everything you throw at them, only to take some miniscule morsel off the surface right next to your fly.
Even though trout stocking ended in May there are still quite a few trout in the rivers and many opportunities for the angler in search of wild and holdover trout. Headwaters of larger rivers, small brook trout streams, remote sections of streams, and tail waters below dams are all good places to find trout in the summer months. They may be spooky and difficult to approach but trout fishing through the summer is a nice way to beat the heat on a cool mountain stream.
As summer warms the water, the trout's metabolism goes into high gear and they must eat often to keep their energy up, the problem is that as the water temperature increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water decreases making it difficult for the fish to breath. The ideal water temperature for trout fishing is somewhere in the low to mid sixties, the fish's metabolism makes it an eating machine and there is enough oxygen in the water to sustain such high activity.
However, when the temperature reaches the mid to upper seventies, there is not enough oxygen in the water to support the higher metabolism and the fish will perish. The key to locating trout in our rivers and streams in the summer is finding cool, well-oxygenated water. Fortunately, many streams that hold trout also have many features that help cool the water and create enough turbulence to provide oxygen for the trout.
Pools are obvious places to find trout in the summer, the depth provides cool water and protection from predators but not a lot of food and most trout I encounter in pools in the summer are tough to catch. They tend to be just relaxing on the bottom, occasionally they will take a lure or fly but the low clear water common in the summer gives them plenty of time to inspect your offering and if they don't like it they will just let it pass.
Feeder creeks and streams are another great place to find trout in the summer, they provide cool water and usually there is a pocket or small pool where the creek enters the main river. Even if there is not much of a flow from the creek, there may be a few native brook trout around the mouth of such streams escaping the danger of low water in their home water. These are excellent places to fish after a rain when cool water and food wash into the main stream.
One of my favorite places to fish in the summer is swift boulder strewn runs and riffles, the turbulent water provides oxygen and the rocky environment contains plenty of insects providing plenty of food as well. Pockets, eddies, and small depressions in the streambed hold fish and right at the base of these turbulent runs where the water dumps into a pool can be the best and an excellent place for trout.
There is a good level of oxygen from the turbid water and they get first shot at any prey dislodged in the swift water above and washed into the pool, often the largest fish choose this spot for that reason.
My overall favorite place to find trout in summer is just downstream of underwater springs, not very easy to find but many local streams contain numerous springs. These spots can be magnets for trout in summer, most of the ones I have found have been while wet wading and entering a part of the stream that is noticeably colder than the surrounding water and I almost always catch a fish or two there.
One such place I found on the Elk River one day has a strong spring entering right in the middle of the river. I found it after a fruitless day of fishing when I thought I would try a small hole on my way back to the truck and first cast brought out a nice brown trout, then a brook and then two small rainbows. I looked at the small piece of stream and wondered why there were so many trout in such a small area. I was looking at the stream and noticed something odd in the calm water of the pool, there was a slight bulge barely visible rippling the surface of the low water. Upon further investigation, I found a nice flow of water 10-15 degrees cooler seeping out of the rocks right where I had caught those fish. That was many years ago and I have caught many fish there in both summer and winter since.
Morning is probably the best time to be on the water in the summer after the water has cooled through the night when trout will be feeding on any insects that expired or fell into the water during the night and trapped in the current. Small patterns usually work best in the summer; most aquatic insects available to the trout are in the 16-24 hook range and include a couple species of mayflies and caddis flies as well as midges, and a small parachute Adams works well when the trout are feeding on these small flies.
Terrestrial insects such as ants, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets and others also find there way onto the water and quite often into the belly of a hungry trout. Grasshoppers and crickets are some of the best flies in the summer since they tend to be large, float well in swift water, and will bring some very big fish to the surface for a meal.
I remember fishing in August one year with small ant and beetle imitations casting along an undercut bank in a meadow stretch near the headwaters of a creek. I was sure there was a fish in there but it would not take the small terrestrials and nymphs I tried, so I tied on a large grasshopper pattern. I cast it hard letting it hit the water as a real hopper would, as soon as that fly hit the water a huge fish exploded on it and I hooked into a beautifully colored wild 21-inch brown trout.
It fought hard in the low water jumping and bulldogging for the cut bank but I managed to turn it and quickly landed it, revived it in the riffles at the bottom of the hole, and watched as he disappeared back into the shadows along that cut bank.
It was the only fish I caught, but it was worth it; the lush vegetation and colorful wildflowers provided a beautiful setting as the sun dropped behind the mountains and I watched several spotted fawns playing in the meadow while their mothers fed as I headed for home.

The prominent fortress houses three mosques – of which the impressive Mohamed Ali Mosque – a carriage museum, a military museum, and a garden museum, just to name a few, and they are all worth a visit.
You are even allowed the run of the fortifications and it is worth a try: the views are spectacular from this height.
The citadel is also home to the impressive Gawhara Palace (the Jewel Palace), named after Gawhara Hanem, Mohamed Ali's last wife. Built in 1814, it housed the ruler's administration and was used as a personal residence by the Egyptian leader. Beautiful gold inscriptions adorn the walls of this majestic Ottoman-influenced palace. One of its most eccentric components is the Watch Hall, where the shape of a watch has been used to decorate the walls.
