Hungary Mulls Bigger Anti-Drug Push
BUDAPEST—Hungary's parliament is discussing a new strategy aimed at completely eradicating drugs by 2020 after the country introduced harsher penalties for drug dealers and users earlier this year.
Statistics show drug use in Hungary has risen in recent years. At least a quarter of high school students admit having tried drugs and users are starting to consume at younger ages than before, Hungary's general ombudsman Mate Szabo said earlier.
Young people mostly choose marijuana and legal pharmaceuticals such as sleeping pills, tranquilizers, or medicine combined with alcohol, according to last year's annual report from Drog Fokuszpont, a national agency.
The government has compiled a 96-page strategy document called "A clean conscience, soberness, the fight against drug crime," that is expected to be approved by parliament next week and is likely to pass as proposed by the government, which has an absolute majority in the legislature. The document focuses on prevention in families and churches and calls for more effective criminal action against dealers and drug users.
More specific measures will be detailed in an action plan for 2013-2015 that will be drafted within three months of the proposal getting parliamentary approval, said governing Fidesz party member Istvan Simicsko.
The government wants to get 50% of students involved in drug prevention projects while having the police crackdown on offenders more strongly.
Harsher penalties were introduced in July, in an amendment of the country's criminal code. The government aims to encourage "more responsible citizen conduct," the Social Ministry's State Secretary responsible for sports and youth said in Tuesday.
"The society's demand for a powerful treatment of the drug issue underpins the government's aim to protect its citizens from criminals, but tools of prevention and re-socialization also have to be used," the ministry said explaining why the strategy is needed on top of the amendments already in place.
Drug prevention experts welcomed the strategy under discussion but said that aiming to make Hungary drug free may not be a realistic goal.
"The aim to free Hungary of drugs is silly, there's no such thing," said Eszter Erdos, a Calvinist pastor who heads a network of drug-safety consultancies.
Opposition parties said Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government was two years late with the plan, a delay which the cabinet said was due to the complexity of the issue and talks with civil groups.
Socialist, green party LMP, and right-wing Jobbik MPs said Tuesday the timing of the program looks like a campaign move in the run up to next year's general election. They said it focuses too much on youngsters, doesn't put enough emphasis on designer and psychoactive drugs that have been spreading in recent years, and lacks financial detail.
State resources earmarked for drug prevention fell to 300 million forints ($1.3 million) in 2012 from 1.1 billion forints in 2009 due to pressure on Hungary to cut debt and meet its fiscal targets.
The plan also runs counter to the stance in some European countries where criminal penalties for certain types of drug use have been eased, including sometimes allowing cannabis consumption, said Laszlo Szilagyi, a member of parliament without party affiliation.
The proposed strategy makes no distinction between soft and hard drugs, said Marta Matrai, a member of the governing Fidesz party.
Possessing small amounts of cannabis has been decriminalized in a number of countries in Europe. In the Netherlands, where the sale of small quantities of cannabis is allowed in licensed coffeeshops, authorities have moved to restrict access to soft drugs, which in some places are available only to registered adults.
Around Central Europe, the picture is mixed. The Czech Republic has the most liberal laws on soft drugs in the region and has decriminalized possession and cultivation of small amounts of cannabis. It's creating a medical-marijuana system to be fully implemented in 2014.
Slovak lawmakers are working to decriminalize marijuana possession, Czech daily Hospodarske Noviny reported Tuesday.
And in Poland, all narcotic substances are illegal and dealers and users face years of imprisonment if caught, although charges are often dropped in cases where quantities are small and for personal use.

Hi all,
I'm in charge of a 2 day workshop with a bunch of skilled developers
regarding user experience. I want to show that an understanding of the users
interaction flow and the user goals are as important as technical knowledge.
One of the things I want to try out is focusing on a top down approach for
development to break away from the usual focus on the platform and
One idea I have is to split them up in smaller groups, hand over a pack of
feature requests to half of them, and a few user scenarios to the other
half. And then let them work out a paper prototype from this.
So now to my question, I want to make it clear that the understandning of
more that the separate features is important and also how the focus on the
user interface often change how the domain and datamodel is constructed.
Any ideas or input on this?
Håkan Reis

My company || http://dotway.se
Our conference || http://oredev.org - See you in 2008
My first thought was to give them each a copy of "The Inmates are
running the asylum" to read in advance, and use the workshop to
discuss the book.
But seriously, the important task is to change the focus from what
can we create for the users, to how can we help the users achieve
their goals.

Weight Loss and The Horror
This is my weekly entry into my hard slog at losing weight.
This past week I started my food diary and it has been going well. I weighed in today at 194 lbs. This is good, the last weigh in I was 195.
I was at the gym yesterday and had a particularly disturbing experience.
Now this is not the usual gym I go to. I decided to go to this YMCA because it is close to my work. This Y is decent, it has all the necessary torture devices to do the appropriate "shock and awe" campaign to rid me of my fat. That being said, the only problem with my plan is that I had to shower at the gym after my workout.
That is a problem.
You see my normal gym has the individual shower stalls. Privacy.
The place where I went to yesterday had the old-school, prison style, group shower. Ick. And ick again. There was a shower stall for someone with a disability, but I wasn't going to use it. I have some pride (though not a whole lot). As long as I kept to my group shower policy I'd be safe.
My policy you may ask? While naked I have no eye contact with anyone and I don't talk with anyone. No way. I am there simply to embarrass myself and repress all those traumatic memories of the high school locker room. You may think that most men would follow my basic no eye contact and no conversation rule while being naked. Oh no my friends, you would be wrong.
At my normal gym it is a regular occurrence to see old, obese, hairy naked guys talking to each other in the locker room. They are very comfortable with being naked old, obese, and hairy. This is not right. Screw Universal Health Care, the real problem in this country are with these guys letting their "junk" swing around. Make a law. Make it stop. Now.
Thankfully, I was the only one in the group shower yesterday. I scurried back to my locker and quickly got my clothes on. I thought I was in the clear. Wrong. And wrong again. I was at the sink and something moved on my peripheral vision. I turned and there he was. A thirty something DWG (Dopey White Guy) with a slew of tattoos on his upper body. Ten years ago it made him look like a bad ass, now it just was... bad, really bad. The guy wasn't fat, he just didn't have a lot of muscle on him and to have the bad ass tattoos you gotta have the muscle. It was bad. He obviously had stopped shaving his chest because there was too much hair along... I'm going to stop right there.
You get the picture, I'm sure.
The problem (yes there is another problem) is that I was like a deer in a headlight while taking in all this raw sensory data. Not only did I make eye contact, but I looked for way too long while processing the aforementioned raw sensory data. My solution? Flee. In a controlled manner of course. But fleeing works a lot of the time.
The moral to this story? There is none...
because this is Purgatory.

Very nice. I avoid eye contact in elevators, let alone locker rooms. You could literally kill someone next to me in either of these settings and get away scott free.ReplyDelete
"Yeah, I heard it. Sounded bad. Chainsaw, I think. No I DIDN'T look, thankyouverymuch."
I have more of a hyper-alert thing going on. It's a manifestation of the high value I've placed on not getting hurt.ReplyDelete

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — A second-half equalizer sent the Southern Oregon University women's soccer team to overtime for the second time this season, but the Raiders fell Thursday, 2-1, to The Master's College.
Jessica Long lofted the game-winner over the outstretched arms of SOU goalkeeper Kylie Moltzen from straight on with 2 minutes, 10 seconds remaining in the first extra period, running the 21st-ranked Mustangs' record to 7-0-0.
The loss ended a program-record unbeaten streak of seven matches for the Raiders (2-1-1) dating back to last year. They'll finish up their road trip Saturday at No. 9 Westmont in Santa Barbara, Calif.
SOU's Sydney Paulsen set up freshman Caylin Jackson for her first career goal to tie the match in the 87th minute. Jackson became the ninth different Raider to get on the board this season.
The Master's went ahead in the 14th minute when Tara Struiksma found Natasha Coyle for a header. Jordan Benson was credited with the assist of Long's goal.
Moltzen finished the match with nine saves as the Mustangs outshot the Raiders 20-6. Jackson had two of those shots off the bench, as did Chloe Welch.
SOU is without head coach Jon Clement, who has been placed on administrative leave. He is being investigated by the school for reasons that have not been disclosed by the university.

Spotlight on: Texas High vs. Arkansas High Rivalry
Hometown: Texarkana, Texas
Group: TX Class 4A & AR 6A
By Omar Muhammad
SportsPower Correspondent
The Texas High vs. Arkansas High rivalry is not your average high school football clash.
Basic rivalries often feature longtime rivals that have bitter dislike for one another, usually because they are in the same conference, a close proximity, or have played each other quite frequently.
And while these two schools certainly have a feud, Texas vs. Arkansas is not your typical rivalry – it's a little more complex than that.
Not only are the two schools just six miles away from each other in different states, but also they share the same city – Texarkana – which sits on the border of Texas and Arkansas.
Talk about unique.
Ever since 1912, these two border teams have been clashing helmets to find out who is really the No. 1 team in Texarkana. And to make it even more interesting, the victor each year goes home with the coveted Battleaxe rivalry trophy.
Arkansas has been fighting hard to take back the trophy but hasn't been successful for much of the past decade. Texas has won the rivalry game each year since '01.
Meanwhile, there are countless traditions and fan contributions that make this one of America's top rivalries.
Every year, fanatics from both Texas and Arkansas come together to pump up this big game. For example, Texas boasts a peculiar pregame ritual where fans conduct a bacon fry with the team. You heard it right, Texas supporters will fry bacon to symbolize how they plan to "fry the hogs" in the game later in the day.
Arkansas also has a similar pregame breakfast, but the Hogs serve "Tiger Tails" (also known as an orange donuts twist) and Orange Crush soda.
Both schools also share a common thread for elite football talent. Currently, Texas High features junior quarterback Nathan Sorenson (who threw for 1,638 yards and 13 scores as a sophomore). In the backfield, the squad boasts a 1,000-yard rusher in Leroy Jones and major Div. I wide receiver recruit Cibi Hamilton.
While Arkansas has been struggling this year because of a lineup filled with young players, the squad is a two-time defending Class 6A Arkansas state champion and featured six All-State players last year.
In this season's battle for the Battleaxe, Texas, now averaging over 40 points per game, defeated the Hogs with ease, 49-24, on the "road."
While Texas has dominated the matchup in recent years, both communities know very well that this matchup is more than just a final box score. It's about the pride and traditions of a city and two high schools that will likely be honored for years to come.

"An Old Fashioned Christmas." That's the theme for the fourth annual Merry Meridian holiday celebration.
The Meridian Downtown Association announced the plans, saying this year promises to be one of the best yet.
"It draws people to downtown. It tells people in Meridian what downtown has to offer. I've said this in the past, people pick at me, but we want people to stay here. We don't want you to go outside of Meridian to look for something to do during the holidays. We have it right here," said event chair Stacy Davis. "That's the reason why we want to make sure everybody outside Mississippi and Alabama knows about this."
This year's Merry Meridian will feature several performances including:
"A Christmas Carol" at Meridian Little Theatre, featuring Mayor John Robert Smith as Scrooge; the Meridian Symphony Orchestra in a special holiday performance at the MSU Riley Center, "Many Moods of Christmas"; the Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker.
Television personality Walt Grayson will be the Grand Marshal for the Meridian Christmas Parade. And country entertainers Mel and Pam Tillis will come to Meridian to present "A Tillis Family Christmas" at the MSU Riley Center.
Merry Meridian wraps up with the Singing Christmas Tree at Highland Baptist Church, where thousands have been known to show up to hear a choir of 75 voices from within a lighted Christmas Tree, joined by a full orchestra and a cast of actors.

Ragini Dwivedi fumes over bikini reports
Speaking to a leading daily, Ragini Dwivedi claims that she has donned a Victoria"s Secret swimsuit and a sarong wrapped around her. She believes that it is a shame that the people are calling it as a bikini. Though she is irked by the two-piece worn reports, the 21-year-old is open for the idea of sporting a bikini.
Ragini Dwivedi says that she has no issues wearing a bikini and it is an outfit similar to other clothes. If anyone offers her to don it, the Veera Madakari girl does not hesitate to give it a thought. However, the actress understands that she needs to fit to wear a bikini.
Her forthcoming movie, Aarakshaka stars Upendra and Sada in the lead roles. It is directed by P Vasu and produced by Krishna Prajwal under the banner of Udayaravi Films.

Post subject: Hi All - Confused New Member!
Hi - I am so confused! My husband and I unprotected sex (so sad that I know the exact dates) the 4th and 6th July. Date of my last period was 20th June. I am definitely late (always run like clockwork). I have been SO tired, and have been really hungry too. Literally scoffing like a horse! Had a couple of minor headaches and feel bloated. Plus the bottom of my back has been hurting. I've done 2 pg tests but both were negative. Went to the Dr yesterday and he said that it was too early to tell (which confused me cos I thought you could test as soon as you were due on...anyway) and I needed to wait another week. A WEEK??!!! Nightmare. So anyway, I am just not sure what to think? I have constant (and I mean constant) butterfly feelings in my stomach and it is driving me bonkers! Any advice would be really really appreciated! xx

Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer - I know its a frustrating waiting game, but you can get lots of negatives even if pregnant. If you are pregnant you HCG levels will increase each day, so you should be able to tell for definite in two weeks - good luck!

Many studies have been carried out to thoroughly understand the colorization mechanisms of bird feathers. However, most of the methods used so far are time-consuming (in days) and involve rather complicated steps (5 to 12). Here, we report a rapid way of producing 'PbS bird feathers'; this method is inspired by a hair-dyeing method used in ancient Egypt 4000 years ago. The complete synthesis route comprises only two steps and can be completed within 2 h, with the original morphologies of bird feathers well preserved. This method has potential to be extended to the fast fabrication of other functional sulfides which are too complicated to fabricate otherwise.

It's fun
But there's too big of a price jump with the upgrades.
400$ for one gas upgrade, 9000$ for the next?
That's a big fucking hill to climb.
But its still very enjoyable.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Not bad
This is the first game I played of its kind.Diggng and upgrading and what notm completing quests, but like many others before me said, it NEEDS AN ENDING!!!
And I dont like how the muic nly played partially, it was a good tune. And seriously could have included more quests or objectives or what not.
If you had those things MOSTLY an ending or a money limit to reach it would have been a much bttergame ad would have gotten 10.
STill a great game none the less....just a game without an end XD
Rated 5 / 5 stars
its montherload. still fun, but its motherload
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Casual Gaming was never more fun
This is a modern take on the concept of a (or some...) really old game(s).
It's nice to see something that I used to play on DOS almost 20 years ago brought back in such a fun way.
Keeping enough of the original formula intact to maintain the same fun gameplay, while changing just enough to make it fresh makes this submission great.
This game is calm, slow paced, and fun. It's big enough to keep you entertained for hours.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
*****CONTAINS SPOILERS***** (Big deal...)
I'm going to try to write this review without comparing the game to "Motherload"[sic], because everyone is probably sick of that by now...
Here goes:
This game started out fun. Making money from mining various ores, upgrading your rig, making progress toward the quests... There were even a couple of rather enticing and mysterious quests at the bottom about "black boxes" and "buried kings".
You would think that after completing one of said quests, you would receive some kind of reward for your labours, like a rare upgrade you can't find in the shop, or fighting Satan, like in M--Shit. Nevermind. But No, all you get is a text box that says something like "ZOMG, THIS WILL CHANGE SCIENCE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!11one" But still, I pressed on, completing all the quests, digging long, tedious lines though rock, dirt, gems and ore, just to see if I'd get to see or do something cool at the end of the game. Nope, just one last text box telling me that I found the last big-ass gem.
FOR FUCKSAKES, AT LEAST GIVE THE GAME AN ENDING! A BOSS FIGHT, A CUTSCENE, HELL, I'D EVEN SETTLE FOR THE WORDS "You rich, son!" AND A PICTURE OF A GUY SITTING ON A BEACH IN TAHITI! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
So yeah, did this game kill a couple hours? Yes.
Did this game excite me at all? Sadly, no.
I just dug around for a bit and read a bunch of text boxes. I would definitely call this game "mediocre".
0/5 (Because it /really/ does not deserve a 3.86)

Shakespeare Quotes: What fools these mortals befrom
A Midsummer Night's Dream
What fools these mortals be Why Should I Care
Why Should I Care?
We're betting you've been totally head over heels for someone before. And isn't it crazy how quickly that same person can annoy you? That's exactly what this quote is getting at. Above all else, A Midsummer Night's Dream explores the nature of romantic love—its fickleness, its unpredictability, and its total insanity.
The conclusion?
The pursuit of love has the capacity to make us irrational and foolish. In the play, magic love juice causes characters to fall erratically in and out of love with one another. Puck sees how irrational and fleeting love can be with the humans. But instead of wondering about the power of the love juice, he blames it all on the fact that they are just human.

Middle English patron 'something serving as a model', from Old French (see patron). The change in sense is from the idea of a patron giving an example to be copied. Metathesis in the second syllable occurred in the 16th century By 1700 patron ceased to be used of things, and the two forms became differentiated in sense.
Originally pattern and patron were the same word. Patron comes, via French, from Latin patronus 'protector of clients, defender', a sense which explains J. K. Rowling's use of 'Patronus' for a spell that produces a protecting animal in the Harry Potter books. The word goes back to pater 'father' ( see further under pope). The word pattern developed from the idea of a patron giving an example to be copied. The swapping round of sounds (metathesis) of the vowel and the 'r' occurred in the 16th century, and by 1700 patron ceased to be used of things, and the two forms developed different senses.

Marvel's 'Avengers': Can the Superhero Film Be Saved?
Much as I love the superhero genre, I almost never like films about superheroes.
No matter how terrific they start out, the third act degenerates into two people diving away from a giant green explosion, and bloated speeches that make me feel sorry for a talented and honorable actor. It becomes clear that at some point the director or screenwriter or studio has lost their faith in the material, and started copying out of the Robert McKee/Joseph Campbell textbook. (The exceptions being, a) "The Incredibles," which actually knew what story it was telling; b) "Iron Man," which kept track of its light tone and knew enough to keep its camera aimed at the raw genius of Robert Downey, Jr. c) the movie that I am one day destined to make).
But now we're going to have an Avengers movie, and that is a make-or-break moment for superheroes on film. It's being brought on by nothing but commercial logic but make no mistake, it matters. The Avengers are different. Why? Because this is the movie that launches the Marvel Universe as a shared continuity and a communal cosmic drama. As Balzac had his post-Napoleonic Paris, this is Stan Lee's "La Comedie Humaine." The Avengers means we are no longer just monetizing latent Marvel IP, it creates a place. Iron Man lives there; Spider-Man lives there; the X-Men live there. Somewhere, Hercules and Moon Knight and MODOK live there.
Frankly the Avengers only exist as a team to make the Marvel Universe a shared place, which is why I love them. Heaven knows they don't have any other memorable reason for hanging out together (although yes, I know there is one). They don't share an origin or a purpose or a costume design or even a stable membership roster. But they anchor the world where The Hulk and the Thing can fight on some made-up pretext, because we all know they should. Hulk vs Thing, that's how high the stakes are.
The Avengers are one of the hardest teams to build a movie around. Maybe you can shoot a bright, comic, gadget-porn adventure film with Iron Man and get the feel right and make it work. Maybe (and it's not proven) you can shoot a mythological-epic Thor film and make it work, and a Captain America movie, and an Ant-Man. But what happens when they all step into the same frame? What kind of film are you shooting then? How do you light it? Who's going to believe in it? Who is going to make sense of that tonal conundrum, and forge those disparate alloys into a single unbreakable metal, Marvel-style?
The proposed answer is writer-director Joss Whedon. And although the history of auteur directors and beloved franchises knows both triumph (James Cameron's "Aliens") and debacle (Ang Lee's "Hulk") there are very good reasons why he should get the job.
Since, provably, no two people share the same Whedon, I will explain who mine is. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was an ensemble show with vampires, vampire slayers, and ultimately, demons, cyborgs, wizards, ghosts – an inclusive world. It was sprawling and messy and you can hear him working his style out as he goes; it also includes the most wrenching and emotionally bare work he has ever done, proof positive that you can write the human and the supernatural and that they're the same thing.
Then there was the Buffy-addendum "Angel," and the space rogues of "Firefly" and "Serenity," none of which I understood. The self-conscious archness that sounded plausibly like a high school clique's idiolect felt unnatural and just false in the mouths of supposed grown-ups. It sounded cute, it sounded like a fan culture too in love with a signature style and certain character quirks.
"Firefly" also introduced the odd thematic obsession around prostitution and rescue that took over and imploded in the near-future science fiction show "Dollhouse," about a brainwashing technology that gives rise to high-tech brothels, and (much more entertainingly) Armageddon. There was something confused and unprocessed there – I felt I was watching an artist working with material he wasn't yet in control of.
But there is a central truth about superhero films, that Whedon obviously gets. It's not about banter or bigger explosions or CGI or moral clarity. Superheroes aren't better or purer than other people, they are interesting because they're f—ed up. Maybe it's your body or your mind or your family situation- it's probably all three. You get to a certain moment and your body starts doing amazing, terrifying things. To the point where your can fly or turn invisible or are unreasonably good at violent behavior. You're not exactly normal; but it's not exactly a normal world is it?
The true potential of the superhero film is seldom seen – a chance to bring a depth and detail an actor creates, to a very strange and compelling character. Most of the time it's the opposite – they decide the word "superhero" means flattening and simplifying the story and personality to the point of deadness (in this matter Zak Penn has much to answer for – the second "Hulk" film, "X-Men 2″ and 3, "Elektra" – although his seldom-seen "Incident at Loch Ness" is evidence of talent).
The Avengers is a weird project but it might be weird in the right ways – the tension between an armored inventor and a Norse god and a World War II supersoldier – and whatever Marvel B-listers round out the roster (Tigra anyone?) is – in the wrong hands just fuel for a few gags but in the right hands it's a story in itself. I'm neither fanboy nor hater in this matter, but I think in asking Joss, the powers that be are getting it right, and I hope the deal is made.

Fitch Ratings has affirmed India-based Subh Laxmi Syntex Ltd's (SLSL) National Long-Term Rating at 'Fitch BB-(ind)' with a Stable Outlook. A list of additional rating actions is provided at the end of this commentary.
The ratings continue to be constrained by SLSL's small scale of operations (FY11 (financial year ending March): INR366.6m, FY10: INR331m) and high working capital requirements. Owing to limited vertical integration, the company has to depend upon vendors for procuring yarn, which contributes to the bulk of raw material costs.

During much of the year, Harvey and Sons in Davis, NC looks like a typical supplier to the commercial fishing industry, with stacks of brightly colored crab traps (locally termed "crab pots") a major product. The variable nature of the fisheries, and a desire to keep the family business growing, as a legacy for his sons, prompted Nicky Harvey to look for other products.
Mr. Harvey's roots go deep in the Down East culture, where "making do" and "doing with the materials at hand" are long traditions. His fertile mind played with ideas of what could be done with left-over materials, and he experimented with making miniature crab traps for coastal decor. Then he began experimenting with triangles of the coated wire mesh, and the Core Sound Christmas tree was born.
The unique artificial tree was an immediate hit with friends and neighbors, who loved seeing the traditional material put to a new use. But Nicky's brain just didn't quit there... he experimented until he found a way to string lights on the tree so that the product could be stored in a flat position and then opened for display with the light strings remaining in place.
In the wake of 9-11, Harvey and Sons showed their patriot spirit with the Freedom Tree. That was just the beginning, however, as folks near and far find more creative ways to use their Crab Pot Trees as the artificial trees for ALL seasons!
In 2009, Nicky Harvey negotiated a national manufacturing and distribution agreement with Fisherman Creations, Inc., who now operates just a few miles down the road from him in Smyrna, NC.

In a mood of extreme refinement and elegance, with an impeccable lookover, rich in perfectly coordinated details and references to the hyper-feminine style of the past, perfume takes on a role of special importance. It must surprise with initial feisty and fruity notes, to then go on to envelop thanks to an intense sillage with the scent of rose. freesia and gardenia. It is then up to the final trail of amber, cedar wood and musk to endow an allure of seduction and charm. This is the bouquet of Innamorata Lovely Rose by Blumarine, a sophisticated fragrance in a bottle that is multifaceted like a diamond.

Fact: storage performance problems have only gotten more complicated, as applications not only have become largely virtualized, but also have moved to cloud-based infrastructures. Storage performance in virtualized environments isn't just about IOPS anymore. Instead, you need to guarantee performance for individual VMs, helping applications maintain performance as the number of VMs continues to go up in real time.

One man has died, and several others were hurt after lightning struck a popular beach in Los Angeles.
It happened at Venice Beach Sunday afternoon. The lightning strike also caused a power outage in the area. Officials tell CBS LA eight of the 13 were transported to the hospital, at least two of those people were in critical condition.
A McPherson family was actually near the beach when it happened, and saw the flash come out of no where.
"It was like a bright, bright flash," Julie Edgar said. "It wasn't like we're used to, where you get thunder in the distance, and you get lightning. It was just all the sudden, one big fireball."
Earlier in the afternoon, a 57-year-old man was struck by lightning on Catalina Island after a mid-day thunderstorm touched off at least two brush fires.
Thunderstorms in Southern California are quite rare. The unusual weather came from monsoon moisture that brought a line of brief, but strong, afternoon thunderstorms to the region.
This is the latest incident in which multiple people were hurt after being struck by lightning this summer. Two people were killed within two days in separate strikes in Colorado earlier this month.

Soma User Reviews
Soma - User Reviews
Soma User Reviews
Now you can gain knowledge and insight about a drug treatment with Patient Discussions.
Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Soma sorted by most helpful.
The great thing about soma, is it doesn't give you that "hangover" grogginess the next morning. It works wonderfully while you sleep.
This has been a life saver with my degenerative disc disorder pain (L4, L5)
Was suffering from back spasmsand was cured using SOMA
Very, very offlabel, but I found by accident (no pun intended -- I pulled a back muscle) when I was prescribed Soma for pain that it also significantly enhanced my mood. As I am bipolar I with very refractory symptoms, my psychiatrist suggested I try Soma for a month for that purpose. I have been on it (as well as ritalin) as adjunct therapy to lamictal, cymbalta, and abilify. It's success, in my opinion, has been remarkable.
For ease of use I gave it a 4 because the pills leave a bitter tase in your mouth. As for addictive, not at all. I find that after I take this pill, it is impossible to stay awake. I always fall asleep. This means I can only take it before bed. I am not the type of person who can just fall asleep anywhere, but this medicine make me fall asleep no matter where I am or what I ma doing, so be careful. I am not sure if it works as a muscle relaxer, because after i take it I wae up 8 hours later! It is a good drug and works great, jsut make sure to take it at night at least the first time to see how your body reacts to it.
My mother took Soma for three years for muscle spasms, at first, it helped, but then she became addicted. It was a downhill battle for the last year and half, which tragically ended with her committing suicide. This drug is very addictive and dangerous!!! BEWARE!!!
Related Reading: suicide
I want to warn anyone that takes this drug to be very careful as it is terribly addictive. However, you have to have an addictive personality to become addicted. I began taking Soma for Fibromyalgia and thus began a long journey of addiction, going from doctor to doctor to get more Soma and ultimately legal problems that stemmed from my abuse. Soma is probably good for short-term use, but even then, I would ask the doctor for a different muscle relaxer. I took Soma for approximately 10 years. I hope no one ever goes through the hell I did and ends up in drug induced stupor's which I referred to as the Soma Coma. I have not taken Soma for several years. I have taken other muscle relaxers, but none have the same addictive component that Soma has.

I have been dealing with severe lower back pain for years now, its gets so bad it takes my breath away. Soma has worked wonders for me. Yes it does make you sleepy, so take it at bed time. Wonderful !
Related Reading: lower back pain
I have been on 2-4 pills a day for the past 10 years for muscle pain and sciatica. Never had any side effects, or withdrawl symtoms. Very hard to live without, but VERY hard to get a dr. to prescribe long term thanks to the people who abuse the use of this medication!

The Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Brothers Karamazov Book 10, Chapter 1 Summary
Kolya Krasotkin
- The novel shifts to the beginning of November, where we are introduced to 14-year-old Kolya Krasotkin.
- Krasotkin is popular among his peers and respected for being a daredevil. In the previous July, he had lain down on some railroad tracks on a dare as a train passed over him. The story spread, and his reputation was sealed – but his widow mother was utterly distraught, so he had to vow never to pull such a dangerous prank again.
- Kolya also has an intellectual streak in him, reading books from his father's library and showing off in class, particularly in Dardenalov's history class. This is in part because Dardenalov has the hots for his mom, which Kolya tolerates.
- Kolya also has a dog, Perezvon, who he picked up a month ago. He keeps the dog in the house, teaching it all kinds of tricks.
- Oh, and Kolya's the kid that got stabbed by the sick boy Ilyusha in Book 4, Chapter 3.

Unmarried couples have to start thinking like married couples
By jveal
JRV Wealth Management Group, LLC
Today, unmarried couples have to start thinking like married couples. Most of them are not aware of estate planning issues, proper planning and state laws.
Steve and Lucy were very much in love. In fact, they spent more than 5 1/2 years together, sharing their home and their lives as an unmarried couple. But when Steve died, his estate didn't pass to Lucy, who needed the money badly.
Instead, it went to Steve's sister, Rita, and Lucy lost the house she and Steve had shared. How can that be? I am certain the end result was probably not what Steve would have wished for prior to his death.
The number of unmarried couples living together is rising in the U.S. as many young adults having a hard time finding jobs and/or working in low-paying jobs are now "shacking up" with significant others. Most of them may not be thinking about estate planning issues now, but that may be a costly mistake down the road.
Unfortunately, the law is almost always written with conventional families that involve a married couple in mind — a man, a woman, 2.5 kids and a dog. Because the law often assumes that families are traditional, every state has its own provisions, such as those setting forth the spouse's elective share and the rules of intestacy (dying without a will).
In some states, intestate descent laws take into account blood and marriage by giving a share of your estate to your children, or if there are no children, to your parents, rather than giving it all to your surviving spouse.
Incidentally, the intestacy rules in most states provide no distributive shares of your estate for family members who are not related to you by blood, marriage or adoption. Stepchildren and unmarried domestic partners — like Steve and Lucy — are typically excluded.
There are many unmarried couples who have lived together for multiple years that truly love one another, care about the well-being of their partner and still contemplate marriage. But, if they do not agree with the disposition imposed by the intestate laws of the particular state in which they reside, here are some important documents that they will likely need:
Will: It is very important to have a will because intestacy laws presume that your blood relatives will inherit your property after you die, when in fact you may want it to go to your partner, a friend or someone outside of your family. Revocable trust: Each partner may set up a separate living trust for his or her separate property. These trusts can avoid probate, provide protection due to disability and enable assets to go to chosen beneficiaries. They can also be used to make gifts to friends, relatives, etc.
Durable powers of attorney: It is often used for business transactions and enables another person to spend your money, sign your name to binding documents and so on. Many unmarried couples might want their partners to have this kind of authority should they become disabled, injured or bedridden.
Health care powers of attorney: It allows your significant other to make medical decisions should you become incapacitated, but doesn't provide him or her control over your bank account and other non-medical affairs.
Today, unmarried couples have to start thinking like married couples. Most of them are not aware of estate planning issues, proper planning and state laws. As financial advisors and planners, we are obligated to know our clients. It is our obligation to cover these important matters as it is a significant part of their financial plan. We need to make certain that our clients don't end up like Lucy.

Vanderbilt wins first SEC Tournament championship since 1951.
March 11, 2012
AP Photos | Box Score (PDF) | Order your SEC Tournament Champions t-shirts
NEW ORLEANS - Vanderbilt claimed its first postseason title since winning the 1990 NIT and first SEC Tournament championship since 1951 with a 71-64 victory over No. 1 Kentucky on Saturday.
Vanderbilt trailled by seven with 5:22 to play before going on a 14-1 run to open up a 69-63 lead with 23 seconds to play and the previous-once beaten Wildcats (32-2) could not recover.
It was Vanderbilt's eighth all-time win against No. 1-ranked teams and first since defeating Tennessee in 2008.
Jeffery Taylor led Vanderbilt (24-10) with 18 points. John Jenkins and Festus Ezeli each scored 17.
After starting slowly in each of its previous two SEC Tournament games, Vanderbilt made sure to avoid a slow start against the Wildcats and led by as many as eight points with just over five minutes to play in the first half. The two teams would enter the locker room deadlocked at 37.
Neither team gained much separation in the second half until the Wildcats were able to go up by six with 9:45 to play. However, a three-pointer by Brad Tinsley put Vanderbilt back within three, 57-54, with 8:46 remaining. Kentucky would go on another mini run to put the Wildcats up by seven, 62-55, with 5:22 to play.
But Vanderbilt would not go away, scoring six straight points to tie the game at 62 with 1:48 to play. After a missed Kentucky three-pointer, Kedren Johnson drove to the hoop and completed a three-point play after being fouled to give Vanderbilt a three-point lead with 1:29 to play. Kentucky would not lead again.
Vanderbilt was playing in its first SEC championship game since 1951 when the Commodores defeated the Wildcats. It was Vanderbilt's third postseason championship game appearance of all-time. The Commodores won the NIT in 1990 and finished runner-up in 1994.
John Jenkins was named SEC Tournament MVP for his three-game performance in New Orleans.
Vanderbilt will learn its seed in the NCAA Tournament during the Selection Show at 5 p.m. CT Sunday. The Commodores are set to make their third straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and fifth in the last six seasons.

Post subject: Could he be overtired
I've posted this in the newborn section, but thought I may get more response in here.
My 3 week old baby boy is a dream compared to how Noah was at this age. He sleeps well, self settling during the day - sometimes with a dummy, sometimes without - and has gone 4-5 hours at night between feeds (although usually only manages 2-3 hours - but I'm fine with that).
However, in the evening, I just can't settle him. I don't let him nap past 5pm in the afternoon, then when he wakes, I feed him, let him kick about on his play mat, give him a bath, then feed him again. After a good feed, he normally falls asleep at the breast but is awake within minutes (as he often is during the day if he falls asleep at the breast). However, once he wakes, there is just no settling him and he sometimes cries uncontrollably. I then get him to sleep by singing to him, rocking him, swaddling him to stop his arms going crazy, or by giving him his dummy and stroking his head.
Anyway, what I'm wondering is could he be overtired? He's not normally awake in the day for any longer than 90 mins. So is he awake too long in the evenings? The earliest I've managed to settle him is 8pm, which is really 3 hours awake. I do try and get him settled by 6.30pm - so that would only be 90 mins awake, but like I said, he wakes up after falling asleep on the breast.
I'm at my wits end with it because by the time 7pm comes around, I've been awake for 13 hours working non stop with a newborn and a toddler, and all I wanna do is rest to prepare myself for getting up to feed him 3-4 times in the night.
What is everyone else's routine for their 3 week old?
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2011 8:44 pm
Post subject:
Didn't want to read and run, i can't really suggest ideas for you as when my LO was a few weeks old he was lactose intolerance and slept horribly and screamed non stop pretty much until we realised.
I can say though i have noticed with my LO who is now 10 months old, almost, that if he falls asleep during his bottle for the full 20 minutes he will have napped just enough to stay awake.
And if he falls asleep at the end & wakes when i take the bottle away i try to put his dummy in and put him down before he realises what has happened haha. Also he tends to be awake roughly 3 hours a time & sleeps through the night. So maybe overtired is it. Watching for signs of a tired baby are tricky when they're newborn i suppose.
Hope you sort it hun x

17/04/2013 13:41
jpleow The take-over offer is conditional - need 90% acceptance - otherwiase the offer will lapse & all acceptances will be returned. See the attachment in announcement on 16/4/13 - section 3.2 'Condition of the Offer'.
Even if it is unconditional, the buyers need to make profit from buying at a discount.

Law Blog Obituary: Tom Barr of Cravath, Swaine & Moore
We invite anyone with rememberances or comments to make about Mr. Barr to do so in our comments section below.
Tom Barr, the influential Cravath, Swaine & Moore trial attorney whose defense of IBM in its 13-year legal battle with the Justice Department set a standard for how lawyers conduct large-scale corporate litigation, died suddenly Thursday in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was 77 years old.
"Tom Barr really was the founding father of the modern litigation age," said Evan Chesler, the presiding partner at Cravath and Barr's longtime protégé, in an interview with the Law Blog. "He set the standard by which we measure ourselves to this day and he set the standard by which many great trial lawyers measure themselves."
After growing up in Kansas City, starring on his high school football team and graduating from the University of Missouri, Barr served in the Marine Corps. He then earned his his LL.B. from Yale in 1958 and joined Cravath straight out of law school, becoming a partner in 1965 and servinig for many years as the head of the firm's litigation department.
He is best known for leading IBM's epic 13-year legal battle with the DOJ, which in 1969 charged the computer giant with monopoly. The trial, which lasted more than five years, spawned a trial transcript that counted than 100,000 pages. IBM produced than 66 million pages of documents case.
In a 1991 interview, Columbia Law professor John Coffee, a Cravath alum who had worked on the IBM case, explained the impact that the case, and Barr's defense of it, had on future complex litigation. "In terms of millions of documents, new software systems and thousands of workers — lawyers, paralegals, outside counsel, in-house counsel — the I.B.M. case really defined the mega-case."
In January 1982, with a new antitrust regime in place under President Reagan, the government dismissed the IBM case.
Chesler recalled the day they heard the news. A DOJ lawyer called Chesler and said the government was going to dismiss the case and Barr needed to be contacted. The only problem was that Barr had just checked himself into a Connecticut hospital for knee surgery. Chesler called the hospital, which had only been allowing calls from relatives, and said he was Barr's son. The nurse put him through and when he told Barr the news all he heard was "I've gotta put my pants on and get out of here." Barr got dressed, hightailed into Manhattan and met with Chesler and several others to draft the one-page stipulation. That week, the government dismissed the case as being "without merit." Barr got his knee fixed at a later date.
Barr's no-nonsense military bearing caused a 1991 New York Times reporter to observe that in 'Cravath, the Movie,' he would be played by George C. Scott. Indeed, Chesler described Barr as a great leader who was hardest on himself. "All victories in which Tom participated were victories by the entire team," he said. "All losses were in his view entirely his responsibility."
Other noted representations were a successful defense of Time magazine in a high-profile libel case brought by Ariel Sharon; his helping secure a significant recovery when he represented the trustee for bondholders in connection with the massive default of the Washington Public Power Supply System; and representing the Oneida Indian Nation of New York in its efforts to reclaim its tribal homeland.
Barr not only influenced the way Chesler litigates cases, he also influenced the way he and other Cravath trial lawyers dress. Barr wore particular ties to court that he called "court ties" – navy blue ties with small white polka dots. "The idea was not to attract attention to yourself," said Chesler. "It wasn't about you. It was about the case, the facts and the legal argument. Dressing flamboyantly was completely inconsistent of what it was in his view to be a lawyer."
A longtime resident of Greenwich, Conn., Barr retired to Paradise Valley, Ariz. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Cornelia, four children and four grandchildren.
