Nexus 7 3G rumoured to arrive in six weeks
Google's 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet will re-launch with 3G in a matter of weeks
Google could be hard at work on a 3G enabled version of its popular Nexus 7 tablet, if rumours are to be believed.
According to tech news site MoDaCo's 'well placed insider' a 3G capable Nexus 7 is on the way, with no other changes to the hardware than the ability to handle mobile data.
The report also says that although a precise launch date and availability haven't been decided, the plan is for the product to launch in six weeks time and Asus is reportedly producing a lot more units this time to avoid shortages.
So, if you were thinking of grabbing a Nexus 7 you may want to hold fire for a little while. The Nexus 7's compact size makes it ideal for using it on the move but the addition of 3G will take this usefulness to a higher level.
We haven't seen anything about pricing yet but it's plausible the tech required to enable 3G might bump the price up a little, but at the same time we think Google is quite pleased with the price tag that has made the Nexus 7 such a fast-selling slate and we don't expect it to be substantially more expensive, if at all.
Of course, 3G connectivity opens up the whole carrier network dimension and we wouldn't be surprised to see UK networks arranging contract deals for the 7-inch Google tablet.
We'll bring you more as we hear it.

What's An Attachment Parent To Do?
Yes, yes, I know. I'm not mom "enough." I don't berate my kids to turn them into high-achieving automatons like a Tiger Mom, and I don't possess sufficient je ne sais quoi to nurture the astonishingly well-behaved, leek-eating kids like the French. I didn't breast feed my twins until they were old enough to vote (as the mother on the cover of this week's Time Magazine seems to plan on doing.)
When did "parent" become a verb? The question has been asked before, but it's still relevant. As moms we're subjected to a near-daily onslaught of "proof" we're still not doing enough to ensure our kids' self-actualization because we're not self-actualized enough… as moms.
Attachment parenting is the cover story in this week's Time, and the two-decade old concept has its true-believers and its critics.
"Attachment parenting says that the more time babies spend in their mothers' arms, the better the chances they will turn out to be well-adjusted children," Time's Kate Pickert writes. "It's not a big leap from there to an inference that can send anxious moms into guilt-induced panic: that any time away from their baby will have lifelong negative consequences."
See that's just it. It's all well and good to breast feed, co-sleep and carry your baby around in a sling. But babies quickly grow into kids, and what's an attachment parent to do then? I'm guessing some morph into helicopter parents, hovering over their kids' experiences and clearing all adversity from their paths…well into what should be independent adulthood. We've become what "Perfect Madness" author Judith Warner called a "generation of control freaks" locked in a "winner-take-all" parenting race to nowhere. There's so much focus on nurturing at the sacrifice of ourselves we're taking our focus off what the end goal is: raising boys and girls to become competent, independent adults.
Let's let the pendulum swing back to the middle, where trusting our instincts as moms without feeling like we need a professional life coach and tomes of parenting guides is more the norm……where the nature v. nurture debate isn't so heavily skewed to the nurture side. I'm sure our kids will thank us for it.
Readers, where do you stand on attachment parenting?

Member Center Conference 2004: Women's Voices Matter
Sunday, June 6, 2004 - Monday, June 7, 2004
Women's Voices Matter: Women Elect to Speak
June 6, 2004: NCRW Member Center Day
June 7, 2004: Open to the Public
Hyatt Regency
Capitol Hill, Washington, DC
When privatization widens economic gaps and diminishes public services, women's voices matter. When Medicare, social security, and reproductive rights are under threat - and the government commissions charged with advancing women's rights are disbanded - women's voices matter. When internationally, U.S. aid commitments to women's education and health abroad are not met, women's voices matter.
Women's voices matter when it comes to the economic and political processes that shape all of our lives. But women are not being heard in political and economic arenas where they should be making a difference.

Monday, June 7, Open to Public
9:00 a.m.
Linda Basch (President, NCRW) and Janet Holmgren (President, Mills College ; Chair, NCRW Board)
CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS FOR MEMBER CENTERS: 9:30-10:45 a.m.
Making Our Work Visible: Translation and Dissemination
The imperative for women's research institutions to make their work visible is now stronger than ever. This workshop will provide the opportunity to share and develop strategies to ensure that our voices are heard. Led by members of our network who work through different types of media, and who have had successful policy experiences, the session will address the potential and challenges of various means for communicating research to broad audiences.
Discussion Leaders:
Janice Monk (Executive Director, Southwest Institute for Research on Women, University of Arizona )
Kirsten A. Powers and Jen Bluestein (Partners, PowersBluestein)
Beverly Guy-Sheftall (Director, Women's Research and Resource Center , Spelman College )
Ellie Smeal (President, The Feminist Majority Foundation)
Livia Tenzer (Editorial Director, The Feminist Press at the City University of New York )
Deborah Siegel (Director of Special Projects, NCRW)
Building Strategic Partnerships and Alliances on College and University Campuses
On both public and private campuses, many of us are facing political and financial challenges—some new, some all too familiar. This workshop will explore strategies for positioning our centers for long term stability and sustainability. Together we will identify stakeholders, alliances, and coalitions that contribute to the success of our centers and examine problems specific to our individual institutions or characteristic of our collective work.
Discussion Leader:
Cynthia Secor (Director, Higher Education Resource Services, Mid America , University of Denver )
Influencing Public Policy—Case Studies
Public policy schools have embraced case studies as a tool for training practitioners, but research shows that less than 1% of cases feature women protagonists or explore dilemmas faced by feminist organizations. The Center on Women and Public Policy is trying to rectify this deficiency, producing cases that ask questions such as: What factors should Emily's List consider when deciding to endorse Elizabeth Holzman or Geraldine Ferraro? How did Casa Esperanza decide to be a Latina organization instead of a shelter? How did feminists in Minneapolis work together across party to elect an African-American woman mayor? Participants will be supplied with materials enabling them to teach or write cases.
Discussion Leader:
Sally Kenney (Director, Center on Women and Public Policy, Humphrey Institute, University of Minnesota )
10:45-11:15 a.m.
Women's Leadership Matters: Expanding Diversity Across Sectors
11:15 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
Women, and particularly women of color, make up well below 20% of leadership across sectors—in higher education, politics, and business. A number of centers in the NCRW network are addressing these issues through cutting-edge research on the paucity of diversity – gender and racial. Speakers will share current research at the intersections of race, class, and leadership, probing ways to effect change in current diversity scenarios and grappling with the difference women's leadership can make to institutions, expanding diversity at all levels.
Speakers will share current research questions, issues, and approaches.

Taxes ARE a Women's Issue!
9:15-11:15 a.m.
In recent decades, the U.S. tax structure has become increasingly skewed in favor of wealthy individuals and corporations, while the burden has shifted to lower- and middle- income individuals – disproportionately, women. In addition, tax cuts have meant drastic cutbacks in the cash assistance and service programs that help women of all ages, classes, and races meet their daily needs. As conservative voices seek to frame public debate around taxation by labeling "big government" feminists "dependency divas," this plenary will examine how taxes and tax policy affect, and often disadvantage, women. Panelists will address ways to frame public debate around the necessity of a fair, equitable tax system that improves the lives of all.
Nancy Folbre (Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts ; former President, International Association for Feminist Economics)
Joan Entmacher (Vice President and Director of Family Economic Security, National Women's Law Center )
Heidi Hartmann (Director and President, Institute for Women's Policy Research)
Julianne Malveaux (Economist, Author, Commentator)
Bonnie Thornton Dill (Executive Director, Consortium on Race, Gender, and Ethnicity, University of Maryland , College Park )
11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
The Impacts of Tax Cuts on Local Communities
Reductions in federal tax revenues can bring dire consequences for local communities. When federal program funding is cut, the burden of providing vital services shifts to state and local governments, where budgets tend to be more strained (both because of the inability to run large deficits and the smaller size of the tax pool). Participants in this session will discuss the tensions that arise when federal tax cuts hinder the ability of local communities to meet their populations' needs.
Sandra Morgen (Director, Center for the Study of Women in Society, University of Oregon )
Margaret Simms (Senior Vice President for Programs, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies)
Ronnie Steinberg (Professor of Sociology, Vanderbilt University)
Crises of Care Across the Lifespan: Women, Taxes, and Care Work in the Public and Private Sectors
The care needs of children, the elderly, and the ill continue to strain families and limit women's opportunities in the workplace. The collective provision of care services, supported by taxes, would ease burdens on families, enable more women to participate in the labor force, and increase the well-being of children and the elderly. Participants will have the opportunity to examine various issues surrounding care work, including how federal and state funding can be used to enhance public systems of supports for families.
Susan Bailey (Executive Director, The Wellesley Centers for Women, Wellesley College )
Leslie Calman (Executive Vice President, Legal Momentum)
Anna Wadia (Director of Program, Economic Security, Ms. Foundation)
Access to Healthcare, Medicare, and Social Security as Women's Issues
Tax cuts for corporations and the rich inevitably erode large-scale programs like Social Security and Medicare, which are essential to the well-being of countless women. These programs are disproportionately relied on by women, who are less likely to be or to have been employed, who generally fall lower on the income scale, who live longer, and who have a higher prevalence of chronic conditions. This session will discuss the particular effect on women of cuts in social security and public health care provision.
Joan Entmacher (Vice President and Director of Family Economic Security, National Women's Law Center )
Angela Hooton ( Legislative Staff Attorney, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund)
The Impact of Taxes Across Race, Class, and Citizenship
Shrinking tax revenues have differential effects across the population. People of low-income and people of color disproportionately depend on the public programs made possible by taxes. As a result, tax cuts mean the cutting off of opportunities and support for low-income individuals and people of color. Immigrants are also disadvantaged by our tax system – they pay income and sales taxes but aren't eligible for many of the public benefits that taxes are designed to support. Participants will address the impact of the tax system on people across race, class, and citizenship, and discuss the intersections of these factors.
Kiran Ahuja (National Director, National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum)
Marjorie Lightman (Senior Fellow, Women's Research & Education Institute)
Gale Summerfield (Director, Women and Gender in Global Perspectives Program, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
How Taxes and Public Funding Affect Education and Girls Programs: Some Examples
Tax cuts also shortchange youth. Publicly funded kindergarten, high-quality elementary and secondary education, and affordable higher education are dependent on tax revenues. Tax cuts also have a particularly negative impact on the vast number of girls who benefit from the publicly funded girls programs designed to build independence, strength, and leadership. Participants will have the opportunity to address the impact of our tax system on education and girls programs.
Sumru Erkut (Associate Director and Senior Research Scientist, Center for Research on Women, Wellesley College)
Heather Johnston Nicholson ( Director of Research, Girls Incorporated)

1:15-2:45 p.m. – Luncheon Plenary
Politics Are a Women's Issue: Women in the 2004 Elections
Women voters have outnumbered men in every election since 1964, yet worldwide, the U.S. ranks 57th in the world in the percentage of elected offices held by women. The "gender gap" has come to refer to gender differences not only in voting but in the decision to run for office. Join researchers, pollsters, and commentators for a lunchtime conversation about women as candidates and as voters, exploring why fewer women candidates run for office, how blocks of female voters get defined, the impact of the women's vote, the impact of women who serve, and what this knowledge can mean for the upcoming election.

Powering the Future: Advancing Women and Girls in Science and Technology
Significant advances have been made for women and girls in the sciences, with much of the impetus coming from the focus on inequities and search for solutions provided by the NSF. This panel will explore present directions to advance women and girls in science and technology—particularly women and girls of color—and to promote innovative directions and research, but also to confront areas of continuing challenge. The absence of concerns about gender and race that still dominates much scientific research will also be addressed, as will the negative consequences of this neglect for society, for people's lives and livelihoods, and for knowledge.

Issues for Global Feminism: Globalization and the Changing Discourses of Human Rights and Security
Globalization, and the heightening privatization, myriad conflict situations, and shifting state and international power relations, has posed a number of challenges to feminist organizing nationally, regionally, and transnationally. Feminist scholars and activists will probe these challenges, raising a number of salient questions. What is the value of a human rights or human security framework to feminist organizing? Where are the appropriate sites for feminist intervention – the United Nations, other international organizations, the World Social Forum, nation states? How can feminist organizations work productively with state and non-state actors, yet resist becoming subsumed within frameworks of power that can subvert their agendas? And what kinds of coalitions do we now need to help build?

War Is a Women's Issue: Lessons from Iraq
A narrowing of public space has left many struggling to freely interrogate the war and its attendant atrocities and raise questions that need to be asked. What are the roles of appointed judiciary and legislative bodies, and where are the voices of women in these processes? The recently unveiled torture in prisons raises questions about the handling not only of prisoners, but also of women and diverse groups in Iraq , and about US women in the military. How do we speak to the intersections of gender, race, and sexuality in these contexts? And how do we raise these important questions and ensure that our voices are heard - loudly, clearly, and in public?

The kudzu bug, which has been detected in large numbers in the South, secretes a distinctive odor and can bite humans, causing a minor skin irritation or even a small welt, researchers said.
Cook said her baby shower last year had to be moved inside because the swarming bugs "covered all the decorations."
Like the marmorated stink bug, scientists believe the kudzu, which comes from Japan and the Korean peninsula, probably entered the United States near Atlanta in an international shipping container.
The oblong-shaped bugs, about a quarter-inch long with olive-green coloring and brown

The Padres are considering bringing back ace Jake Peavy on short rest to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks -- but for now, it's only a consideration.
General Manager Kevin Towers and Manager Bud Black said the decision will hinge Peavy's health and on how the series plays out. Towers didn't specify what scenarios would induce the club to start Peavy in the series finale, but presumably it would happen if the Padres lost one or two of the series' first two games. The Padres and Arizona are tied for first place in the National League West, entering today's series opener at Phoenix.
"We're going to talk about how Jake's feeling," Manager Bud Black said. "We just want to make sure he's rested and feeling good."
Peavy, who is 16-5 with a 2.10 ERA, threw 99 pitches over seven scoreless innings against the Dodgers on Saturday. He has pitched on short rest once in his career, and he fared well, picking up the win in 2004 by going six innings with one run allowed.
Black said Jack Cassel, who threw 5.2 innings on Friday, is another option.
If Peavy doesn't start on Wednesday, he will go on extra rest against the Dodgers on Friday.

More than a century ago, Sonora Louis Smart Dodd aspired to create a holiday to honor fathers. Dodd, the daughter of a single father and Civil War veteran, was inspired by a Mother's Day sermon and wondered why there was no holiday for fathers. After securing support from ministers in Spokane, Wash., her idea came to fruition with the first Father's Day celebration at the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910.
On Sunday, June 15, the YMCA Southcoast joins the nation in celebrating Father's Day and recognizing the impact fathers and adult male role models make in children's lives. Nationally, one out of three children lives in a home without their biological father, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And, societal factors such as unemployment, work-life balance or a lack of resources can affect fathers' ability to seek support in strengthening their parenting skills and more fully engaging in the lives of their children. A leading nonprofit in fostering positive youth development, the Y remains dedicated to providing resources and opportunities for fathers to further involve themselves in the well-being and development of their children.
"One way to improve child well-being is to increase the proportion of children growing up with involved, responsible, and committed fathers and adult male role models," said Gary Schuyler, Chief Executive Officer, YMCA Southcoast. "Father's Day reminds us why it's important to provide fathers with the support they need to be the best parents and caregivers they can be."
Studies show that children with close relationships with their fathers and other adult male role models have more self-confidence and exhibit less depression, perform better academically and engage in significantly less drug and alcohol use.
The YMCA offers a variety of programs that foster understanding and companionship between children and their caregivers. In communities across the country, the Y is committed to ensuring that the 9 million children and teens in YMCA programs reach their full potential by helping them grow—physically, mentally and socially—from young children into active, engaged members of their communities.

The downside is that you may have more discrepancies to account for,
i.e. more pain in one big lump.
My opinion (as a developer) is that it is better to continually upgrade.
That way, you're hit with only one problem at a time.
Not everyone at work agrees with me, though, but I keep doing it anyway
to keep abreast of potential trouble spots (e.g. better standards
conformance in gcc/g++.)
Gates is the ultimate programming machine. He believes everything can be
defined, examined, reduced to essentials, and rearranged into a logical

Is Tysabri really only worth this much?
elan made brilliant move:firstly,biogen's other ms drugs are useless( look at increase of avonex revenue-1-2% a year,which means that they are loosing money considering all related costs, not to mention that drug hardlly helps;same applies for teva's copaxone- i know people in usa and israel who take copaxone for years with no improvment).oral drug they wanna launch is known as less effective with serious side effects, just like nvs's ones.elan got money upfront which will take biogen to return at least decade( we count net profit from sales).plus elan will get annual royalties equal the amount if they,not biogen,own tysabri 100%.Martin is genius.now elan should buy 1000, $1mln worth each,apartments in Manhattan as an investment and still have couple bln for drug discovery and forming valuable partnerships.
p.s.those co-called anal---s are just miserable arrogant pigs.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Elan made a terrible mistake with this deal, and Biogen is the clear winner here. Look at the stock prices of each! Elan is now an empty shell of a company with no products of their own. When interviewed about the deal, and asked where Elan will go from here, Martin said, in sort, he didn't know. A CEO saying he doesn't know where his company will be going is a very scary thing!
We all know BG-12 will be the next MS blockbuster due to be approved by the end of March. ed_streltsov, I don't know where you're getting your information but all studies have shown so far that BG-12 will be more efficacious and safer than any other MS drug on the market today. So, this will leave Biogen with full control of Tysabri, Avonex and BG-12, completely taking control of the MS market. Elan will be left with nothing as Martin continues to squander cash on jet rides around the world, supporting his other business.
Forget the analysts. The market is trouncing Elan for another terrible deal, a bargain basement sale of by far the best MS drug on the market. Is it any wonder Biogen is soaring today and Elan is cratering? Biogen, instead of paying $10B for Elan, has secured Elan's only remaining asset for $3.25B upfront and some royalty which is structured to pay very little unless Tysabri becomes a maga-blockbuster. In other words Biogen has side-stepped the risk associated with Tysabri not becoming a much bigger blockbuster while still gambling on this potential.
This deal is a huge win for Biogen and an admission of failure by Elan.

MERIDIAN, MS – Mike Boland of Cuba, AL won his second straight Labor Day Weekend Bash 75 on Saturday night for the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series at Whynot Motorsports Park driving The Strength Center Trak-Star. Boland held off Jim McDuffie of Meridian, MS to lead all 75 laps and pick up the $5,000 top prize.
Boland made the event a "Clean Sweep," as he also set fast time during qualifications, and he won the first 15-lap heat race on Friday night to earn the pole position. It was also a good night for Boland as a car builder, as his Trak-Star race cars from his Boland Performance shops took three of the top four finishing positions.
"It was a great race because I knew Jim McDuffie was all over me late in the race," Boland said. "I hated to see that caution flag with two laps to go, but everything worked out for us. This series is very competitive, and it feels good to have had the success we've had here at Whynot Motorsports Park."
McDuffie put heavy pressure on Boland in the closing laps in lapped traffic, but had to settle for second in the H.E. Mosley, Inc. Trak-Star. Derrick Rainey of Powder Springs, GA drove the Hays Family Racing/Barto Enterprises Warrior to his fifth straight top five finish with a third-place effort. Cliff Williams of Star, MS was fourth in the Ware Construction Trak-Star.
NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series point leader Chip Brindle of Chatsworth, GA made a late race charge to take the Race Car Engineering Fifth-Place Award in the CSC Trailer Repair/Brindle Brothers Auto Parts Mastersbilt.
Larry Murphy of Meridian, MS took the sixth spot in the Designer Cords GRT, and Larry Boutwell of Baker, FL was seventh in the McLeod Construction TNT. Brindle now holds a 96-point lead over Boutwell in the 2008 NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National point standings.
Randy Boyd of Marion, MS claimed the Race Car Engineering Eighth-Place Award in the D&C Motorsports Tornado, and Scott Knowles of Lanett, AL took the Maximum Signs Ninth-Place Award in the All-Star Graphics GRT to earn the Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Race honors and move up to third in the National points chase, ten points behind Boutwell.
Eric Cooley of Fulton, MS rounded out the top ten in the Tiffin Motorhomes Mastersbilt. Hunter Peacock of Macon, GA started 24th and finished 14th in the Nasworthy Mechanical Bullet to earn the Hard Charger of the Race Award.
When the field took the green flag, McDuffie took the lead from the outside front row starting spot followed by Boland, but the start was negated due to a six-car pile up on the backstretch during the opening lap. The wreck sidelined Rick Hasselle of Collinsville, MS in the Boland Performance Trak-Star and Curtis Cline of Douglasville, GA in the Crist Roofing Warrior.
Boland was able to take the lead on the restart followed by Rainey, McDuffie, Chad Thrash of Meridian, MS in the Speedway Collectibles USA GRT, and Murphy. Boland set a fast pace in the opening laps, as he was lapping cars by the tenth lap. A caution flag for debris on lap 16 bunched up the field for the restart with Rainey, McDuffie, Thrash, Murphy and Knowles trailing Boland.
Jeffrey Walker of Meridian, MS spun his Randy Thompson Auto Repair GRT in turn two on lap 22 and collected Boutwell, who was running eighth. Boutwell was able to continue for the restart, but Thrash had a problem, and stalled on the backstretch, giving up the fourth spot.
On the next restart, the top nine cars settled in to run the bottom groove, but tenth-place Jason Hiett of Lincoln, AL took his N&N Motors GRT to the outside and moved up to the sixth spot by lap 24. Hiett passed Knowles for the fifth spot on lap 27, but his spectacular drive came to an end on lap 28 when he jumped the cushion and hit the second turn wall.
That put Hiett out for the evening, and earned him the Dominator Race Products Hard Luck of the Race Award.
Boland led the field down for the restart followed by Rainey, McDuffie, Murphy, Knowles, Boyd, Williams, Talbert Goldman of Meridian, MS in the Mike Goldman Customs Trak-Star, Brindle, and Blake Stewart of Centre, AL in the Morrison Construction/Cash Store Warrior. Boyd and Williams got by Knowles on lap 30 to take over the fifth and sixth spots respectively.
The field stayed green until lap 42 when Stephen Brantley of Monroeville, AL stalled his Airport Sports Center Mastersbilt on the backstretch. On the restart, McDuffie powered around Rainey to take the second spot. Williams continued his march through the field on lap 45 when he passed Boyd for the fifth spot. Boutwell passed Goldman for tenth on lap 49.
Boland pulled out to a ten car-length lead over McDuffie, as Rainey began to fade from the leaders. Williams got by Murphy for the fourth position on lap 57, and Cooley climbed into the top ten on lap 59.
Boland pulled up to lap Stewart on lap 65, but could not find the room he needed to make the move. That enabled McDuffie to pull up on the back bumper of Boland. With three laps to go, Boland got by Stewart, and began to pull away while McDuffie tried to find the room to get by Stewart.
Stewart tangled with Chris Tays of Corinth, MS in the Bud Coley Trucking/Circle H Concrete Trak-Star on lap 74 on the front stretch. Both cars had cut tires and stopped on the track to bring out the eighth and final caution flag of the race. That set up a two lap dash to the finish with Boland leading McDuffie, Rainey, Williams, Murphy, Boyd, and Brindle.
Boland was able to keep McDuffie behind him for the win, while Brindle got by Boyd and Murphy to claim a top five finish.
In preliminary action on Friday night, Boland out-timed the 50-car field with a lap around the 3/8-mile clay oval in 13.615 seconds. The 15-lap heat races were won by Boland, McDuffie, Rainey, and Murphy. The two B-main races on Saturday night were won by Cooley and Lucky Keeton of Toomsuba, MS in the Boland Performance Trak-Star.
The event was delayed two hours on Saturday night by a heavy rain shower that left the track and the pit area a quagmire. Whynot Motorsports Park promoter Rodney Wing and his track crew got both the track and the pit area back into shape to put the show on.
Over $5,000 was collected for the American Cancer Society on Saturday night with race fans bidding for rides with Mike Boland, Jim McDuffie, Lucky Keeton and Rodney Wing in the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series "Ride For Life" two-seat dirt late model race car. Boland's ride brought a record high bid of $2,500.
The NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Tour returns to action on September 20 at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL and on September 21 at Fort Payne Motor Speedway in Fort Payne, AL.

Re: Anyone following the MMR vaccine and Autism debate?
Here is the latest from
Controversy over vaccine-autism link endures
The belief that routine childhood vaccines can lead to autism remains one of the most stubbornly enduring.
The mainstream medical community insists there is no evidence to support the theory, and cite study after study that have found no link. Yet the Internet is filled with groups and organizations who insist that vaccines are causing children to become autistic.
The controversy returned to the headlines this week, when the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a call for ABC to cancel the debut episode of "Eli Stone," a new legal drama that also airs on CTV.
The episode featured a lawyer who argued in court that a vaccine caused a child's autism. The episode ends with the jury awarding the mother US$5.2 million after it is revealed the CEO of the vaccine-maker kept his own daughter from getting the company's vaccine because of autism concerns.
The AAP, which represents 60,000 U.S. pediatricians, noted that while the show included statements that numerous studies have refuted any link between autism and vaccines, the episode's conclusion leaves audiences "with the destructive idea that vaccines do cause autism."
ABC chose not to cancel the episode, but ran a disclaimer at the opening of the show stating the story is fictional. A message at the end referred viewers to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control website for information about autism.
The AAP has long campaigned against the misinformation linking vaccines to autism and has even dedicated a section of its website to clarify its position on the controversy. So how did this debate begin?
Study ignites controversy
It started in February, 1998, in the highly prestigious, British-based medical journal, The Lancet. There, British gastroenterologist Dr. Andrew Wakefield, along with 12 co-authors, published a small study on 12 children in which he claimed to have found a link between inflammatory bowel disease, autism and the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine introduced across the U.K. in 1988.
Most agreed that further research was needed and that parents should continue to have their children vaccinated with MMR. But, in the huge media feeding frenzy that followed, Wakefield suggested that parents should stop taking the vaccine and opt instead for each vaccine on its own.
That led to an almost immediate drop in immunization rates. Within a few years, MMR vaccination rates sunk to 75 per cent in Britain, well below the 95 per cent authorities say is needed to keep these diseases from circulating.
While the rate has since climbed to about 85 per cent, Britain continues to suffer outbreaks of these three diseases. In fact, it's suspected that a recent widespread outbreak of mumps in Canada was sparked by a single infection from Britain. And in March, 2006, a 13-year-old boy who had not been given the MMR vaccine became the first person in Britain in 14 years to die of measles.
Wakefield's research was attacked as flawed almost from the beginning. In fact, even his collaborators changed their minds. In 2004, 10 of Wakefield's 12 co-authors retracted their conclusions in the Lancet study. They stated:
"We wish to make it clear that in this paper no causal link was established between (the) vaccine and autism, as the data were insufficient. However the possibility of such a link was raised, and consequent events have had major implications for public health. In view of this, we consider now is the appropriate time that we should together formally retract the interpretation placed upon these findings in the paper, according to precedent."
Shortly before publishing the retraction, Lancet editor Dr. Richard Horton declared Wakefield had a "fatal" conflict of interest that his team was not aware of. Wakefield was doing paid research for a group of parents of autistic children who were trying to mount a class-action suit against the makers of the MMR vaccine.
Conflicts of interest?
Had his team known about those conflicts, Horton said he would never have published the study.
But even while Wakefield's theory on the cause of autism was losing credibility, a revised theory was emerging.
In 2003, David and Mark Geier, a father-and-son research team began publishing studies in a number of small journals in which they reported finding an association between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism. They concluded that it wasn't the vaccines itself causing the illness, but the mercury-based thimerosal, which is used as a preservative.
The Geier studies might have been ignored if not for the fact that a few years earlier, in 1999, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) asked vaccine-makers to remove thimerosal from vaccines as quickly as possible. This move came after they realized that since 1991, children receiving routine vaccines had been getting amounts of thimerosal that might push them over accepted levels of mercury.
The move was said to be simply cautionary. But it sparked confusion and led some to declare there had been a government cover-up of a widespread health risk. Shortly after, the lawsuits against vaccine-makers was launched.
The debate moved mainstream when such celebrities as Jenny McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy Jr. began insisting that the link between vaccines and autism was clear and that vaccine-makers were refusing to accept responsibility.
Since then, numerous large, peer-reviewed studies have been published that have found no link. The most recent came earlier this year. Researchers from the California Department of Public Health Autism found that the reporting of autism cases in that state continued to climb even after from 1995 to 2007 -- long after thimerosal was removed from routine childhood shots. Doctors noted that if the vaccines really were causing autism, rates should have dropped.
Despite the many studies pouring cold water on the anti-vaccine side, the debate continues 10 years later, with dozens of websites across the Internet encouraging parents to refuse to allow their children to be vaccinated.
Sadly, while the voices of those parents who have defied general medical advice ring loud, the voices of those parents who have watched their children die or become disabled from such diseases as polio, meningitis, and hepatitis are rarely heard. Vaccination has been called the single greatest medical intervention over the past century and has saved so many lives that most of us have never seen the diseases they prevent. Yet, many parents still choose not to vaccinate their children.
Since his 1998 study, Wakefield has lost his position with the British National Health Service and now works for a non-profit centre for autistic children in Texas, called Thoughtful House. While he continues to assert that the results of his 1998 study are still valid, the General Medical Council, the British body that investigates alleged malpractice by doctors, decided to take action.
This past July, the GMC began hearings into allegations that Wakefield and two colleagues behaved unethically and dishonestly in conducting their research. The hearings had been expected to last months but after the prosecution case was presented, the panel suspended proceedings and defence presentation until March, 2008.
Shortly before those hearings began, Wakefield agreed to an interview with U.K.'s The Observer, which he ended by declaring: "My colleagues and I won't be deflected by the interests of public health policymakers and pharmaceuticals. I want to help children with autism; they are my motivation. If the work ultimately exonerates the vaccines, that's fine. If not, we need to think again."

"Australia," Starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and … Ferragamo
In "Australia," the new Baz Lurhmann movie that opens today, Nicole Kidman plays an English rose turned steely frontier-woman who stomps about the outback in riding boots that look almost too sleek while frequently wiping her brow with leather gloves that bear expensive stitching.
Salvatore Ferragamo is hoping you notice those accessories because, well, they made them.
At a time when luxury retailers are taking a hit as consumers sharply curtail spending, the Italian label is hoping to be able to tug at shoppers' purse strings when they escape to the movies. Ms. Kidman's shoes and gloves in the film were all designed by Ferragamo. (The label is also selling a $950 limited-edition version of the evening sandal that Ms. Kidman wears in the movie in its stores this month.)
At a Manhattan screening of the film Tuesday night for Ferragamo employees and "friends" of the fashion house (such as "Gossip Girl" costume designer Eric Daman), Vincent Ottomanelli, president of Ferragamo USA, noted that providing shoes for movies has been a longstanding brand strategy for the company. In addition to creating shoes for movies like "The Ten Commandments" and "Some Like it Hot," Ferragamo has a style of shoes named the "Audrey," after Audrey Hepburn, which Mr. Ottomanelli said sells well because of the connection with the iconic actress.
With "Australia," the movie has marketing possibilities that go far beyond a 30-second TV ad or a print campaign. Viewers are a captive audience at the movie theater – and, in the case of this film, for a whole two hours and 35 minutes. And, Ms. Kidman looks impeccable, even when her character has spent three days riding on horseback with little clean water for freshening up.
Also, the ensembles she wears and accessories she carries are hard not to notice when juxtaposed with the bare, rugged terrain of rural Australia. (In fact, the luxury items are so obvious against this backdrop that they're almost separate characters in the film — along with Ferragamo, jeweler Canturi and Prada , which made Ms. Kidman's character's luggage, received screen credits at the end.)
In a "behind-the-scenes" segment that was screened before the movie, which is set in 1939, costume designer Catherine Martin noted that each pair of Ms. Kidman's shoes was "created based on what existed at that time." Some items, however, might require some suspension of disbelief. Although, perhaps it's not that impossible that exotic combinations of velvet and stingray skin were common in evening shoes of the 1930s.

A vision board is a tool to help you use the Law of Attraction to bring your desires to you. By surrounding yourself with images of what you would like to be, do, or have in your life, you begin to focus more of your thoughts on those images and to add feelings to them, thus allowing your life to change so that it matches those images.
Supplies You Need to Create a Vision Board
- Poster board
- A large variety of magazines
- Scissors
- Glue, glue sticks, or rubber cement
Steps for Creating a Vision Board
1. Go through the magazines and cut out pictures or words that you like. Think of anything you've ever desired as you go through the magazines. For example, what kind of car would you like to have? Where would you like to live? Where would you like to visit? What would you like to do? What would you like to wear?
2. Go through the images you cut out and pick out your favorites. Trust your intuition. If any no longer feel good to you, put them to the side.
3. Begin to lay your favorite images on the poster board. You might decide to put them in different sections, such as job, wealth, relationships, and health. Or you may decide to put them all over the place in a giant collage. Trust your instincts.
4. Glue the images to the board. If there was an image you were looking for, but couldn't find, draw a picture of it on the board. Feel free to write on the board and decorate it however you desire.
5. Place your vision board somewhere you'll see it often. Popular places are next to a bed, in a kitchen, and in an office.
Vision Board Notebook or Journal
Instead of a vision board, you can also create a vision board notebook. Simply get a notebook or journal and decorate the individual pages just as you would a vision board. You can make each page an individual collage devoted to everything you want to manifest or you can divide your vision journal into sections with a set number of pages devoted to job, health, finances, etc.
The Key to a Successful Vision Board
Making a vision board is easy. To make it work, simply have fun. Enjoy the process of creating it. Feel good whenever you look at it. And see it as if it has already happened – like it's a snapshot of your current life.
If you want more details on creating a vision board and success stories from using vision boards, check out The Complete Vision Board Kit: Using the Power of Intention and Visualization to Achieve Your Dreams.

No, don't touch that code! You'll break everything!
I really love the way this forum at WordPress.org presents block quotes for user comments. I'm assuming this is a result of using TinyMCE functionality, or something similar? I have "blockquote" added in my comments tool bar on my own blog using TinyMCE, but I'd like to implement something similar to the look and feel of this forum's blockquote styling. How can this be done? In this forum, for instance, is this accomplished with CSS styling and a particular plugin? Any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Sir, some organisations and men have made it a practice to use the names of politicians for their outfits like Indira Gandhi Institute, Rajeev Gandhi Institute, Nehru park, etc, to promote the business and perhaps to please the dynasty and party.
Some people like this to trap their customers also. This is being used in Bihar after President APJ Kalam's visit as some clubs, community halls, trusts, etc, have been named after him.

Rancher tries to explain his racist comments
Renegade rancher Cliven Bundy, a folk hero to conservatives until he suggested that "Negroes" were better off as slaves, attempted to defend his comments Friday but only dug a deeper hole under his feet. "If I say Negro or black or slave ... if those people cannot take those kind of words and not be (offended), then Martin Luther King hasn't got his job done yet," Bundy said on CNN. His earlier remarks, widely quoted Thursday, were about black people living on government subsidies. "They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton," he said. "And I've often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom." The Nevada rancher defied the federal government by grazing his cattle on federal land but refusing to pay grazing fees. The government began seizing his cattle but backed down when faced with armed men supporting Bundy.
Obama threatens N. Korea, where another U.S. tourist is detained
President Barack Obama threatened Friday to impose more sanctions on North Korea if it conducts another nuclear test, but the rogue regime managed to upstage him somewhat by announcing that it had again detained an American tourist. Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency said it detained Miller Matthew Todd, 24, for "gross violation" of legal order after he tore up his tourist visa and shouted that he wanted asylum -- suggesting he might have been mentally unstable. Obama, speaking in Seoul alongside South Korean President Park Geun-hye, said North Korea would get "nothing except further isolation" and tougher sanctions "with even more bite" if it conducts a fourth nuclear test. But he acknowledged that there's only so much that sanctions can accomplish. "North Korea already is the most isolated country in the world, by far," Obama said. "Its people suffer terribly because of the decisions its leaders have made. And we are not going to find a magic bullet that solves this problem overnight." Obama also addressed the extremely sensitive issue of Korean "comfort women" used as prostitutes by Japan during World War II, saying, "Those women were violated in ways that even in the midst of war was shocking.
Russia feels sting of sanctions but isn't backing down
Western sanctions are apparently taking a toll in Russia, which had its credit rating cut Friday and raised interest rates to keep the falling ruble from fueling inflation. But Moscow showed no sign of backing down from confrontation in southeast Ukraine, where pro-Russian insurgents continued to hold out against the Kiev government. President Barack Obama told four European leaders that the U.S. was prepared to impose new sanctions, and they agreed that Russia has not kept an agreement to ease tensions with Ukraine. "On the one hand, there appears to be a very gung-ho (Russian) attitude toward east Ukraine," said Chris Weafer, an analyst at Macro Advisory in Moscow. "On the other hand, they are showing they are very concerned about the impact this is having on the economy and the currency and trying to limit the damage." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday that the pro-Russian insurgents in eastern Ukraine will lay down their arms only if the Ukrainian government clears out the Maidan protest camp in Kiev and vacates buildings occupied by activists there, some of them far-right nationalists.
Oregon poised to abandon its state health exchange
Oregon was poised Friday to become the first state in the country to abandon its troubled health insurance exchange and adopt the federal version. Cover Oregon technology advisory committee announced Thursday that it had recommended the agency scrap its exchange because there wasn't enough time or money to fix it. The exchange's board will vote on the matter Friday. As many problems as the website for the federal Affordable Care Act exchange had, Oregon's was even worse. It was a colossal failure, not allowing consumers to shop for plans or enroll online. Cover Oregon went through an estimated $248 million in federal funds by the end of March, but was forced to sign up would-be insurance customers using paper applications. If the board accepts the recommendation, "we won't use the technology for the local exchange," said Clyde Hamstreet, Cover Oregon's interim executive director. "We'll be using federal technology for the applicants who want to buy insurance through Obamacare."
Rare zonkey is zoo's new striped star
It's a zonkey! A rare cross between a zebra and a donkey has been born in a zoo in Tamaulipas, Mexico, with a body that's almost all brown except for her black and white striped legs. (Don't miss the awww-inspiring video below.) Her name is Zhumba, and her father, oddly enough, is a dwarf, blue-eyed albino donkey named Ignacio that lives on a nearby farm. The mother is a zebra named Rayas. The zoo says Rayas used to visit Ignacio every afternoon, and eventually she became pregnant. Love is a beautiful thing.

The business activities known as governance, risk and compliance (GRC) are tightly linked. Governance, risk management and compliance management are separate but closely related activities that take place in any organization. Governance is essential to the management of a corporation. Without it there can be no reliable way to guide the actions of individuals to align them to corporate objectives and requirements. Risk, for its part, comes in many forms, including internal failure, unfavorable external events and catastrophes. Managing risk involves anticipating negative events, understanding their costs, determining whether the potential benefits outweigh risks, and applying controls either to prevent risk events or mitigate their impact. And because all companies exist in some legal and regulatory jurisdiction, compliance with existing laws and regulations is essential.
This benchmark research program identified, explores and quantifies the ways in which finance, line-of-business operations and IT departments in companies each approaches and executes its governance, risk and compliance management efforts. It determined the value to companies of most effective GRC processes, and assessed the maturity of existing GRC efforts, especially in their use of information technology.
