"...Blaming their problems on Bush does carry a risk for Dems, however -- "
Click to view image: '78c98b4120a9-6a00d8341c60bf53ef0120a4f4f86d970b500wi.jpg'As audience members streamed out of Pres. Obama's rally on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D) here tonight, the consensus was that the fault for Coakley's now-floundering MA SEN bid lies with one person -- George W. Bush.
"People are upset because there's so many problems," Rosemary Kverek, 70, a retired Charleston schoolteacher said as tonight's rally wrapped up. "But the problems came from the previous administration. So we're blaming poor Obama, who's working 36 hours a day ... to solve these problems that he inherited."
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), speaking with a gaggle of reporters after the event, said that while state Sen. Scott Brown (R) offers voters a quick fix, in reality, the problems created by "George Bush and his cronies" are not so easily solved.
"If you think there's magic out there and things can be turned around overnight, then you would vote for someone who could promise you that, like Scott Brown," Kennedy said. "If you don't, if you know that it takes eight years for George Bush and his cronies to put our country into this hole ... then you know we have a lot of digging to do, but some work needs to be done and this president's in the process of doing it and we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that."
(Curiously, Kennedy mentioned Coakley repeatedly during his remarks to reporters, each time referring to her as "Marcia," not "Martha.")
More Kennedy: "One thing the Democrats have done wrong? We haven't kept the focus on this disaster on the Republicans who brought it upon us. We've tried too hard to do that right thing, and that's to fix it, as opposed to spend more of our time and energy pointing the finger at who got us [here] in the first place."
Blaming their problems on Bush does carry a risk for Dems, however -- with their sights so firmly focused on the past, Brown's campaign has managed to wrest the "change" mantle from them.
Meanwhile, even as Kennedy took on both Bush and Brown head-on, some attendees were more muted in their criticism of Brown.
"I mean, he is handsome," Christine DiPitro, 61, of Malden, said of Brown.
"He does appeal to the regular guy with his truck, but that's about all."

We clean our homes to remove dirt and contaminants, but ironically, many common cleaning products can actually introduce allergens and poisons into our homes. Luckily, many natural solutions leave your home clean, fresh and chemical free.
Cleaners that contain strong chemicals and disinfectants pose health risks for people and pets, and when they're washed down the drain, they contaminate our waterways and soil. Chemical-laden cleaning products can cause myriad health problems, among them headaches; dizziness; skin, respiratory and eye irritation; and asthma attacks. Some cleaners even contain known or suspected carcinogens, neurotoxins, reproductive system toxins and hormone disruptors.
Among the most toxic household products are drain, oven and toilet-bowl cleaners; chlorinated disinfectants; mildew removers; and wood and metal polishes. Even seemingly benign products, such as dish detergent, can contain toxic chemicals.
Learn from the labels
Manufacturers aren't required to disclose all the ingredients in their cleaners—even on a product's Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does require safety labeling in the form of signal words. "Danger" or "Poison" indicates that a product can be lethal when ingested in very small quantities. Products with "Warning" labels are also dangerous, but less so. Those marked with "Caution" are the least harmful of the three, though they still can be hazardous. Also avoid cleaners labeled "Corrosive," "Severely Irritating," "Strong Sensitizer," "Highly Flammable" or "Highly Combustible."
Avoid the common disinfectants ammonia and bleach, which are both toxic. Steer clear of chlorine bleach and detergents that contain chlorine or hypochlorite, because coming in contact with chlorine compounds can severely irritate the lungs or burn skin and eyes. Chlorine also is harmful to the environment, as it escapes into the air and water where it can react with other chemicals or combine with organic compounds, harming plant and animal life.
Sodium percarbonate and hydrogen peroxide are safer alternatives to chlorine bleach. If you decide you must use chlorine bleach or ammonia, dilute them. Never mix the two; together they create highly toxic chloramine gas that can injure lung tissue.
Fortunately, nontoxic cleaning products are available, and many of these are just as effective as their conventional counterparts. You can either buy ready-made nontoxic cleaners at health-food stores, or mix your own combinations, using household staples.
Know your labels: toxins to avoid
Unless a manufacturer's specific claims have been certified by a third-party group such as Scientific Certification Systems, there's no way to be sure the claims are factual. Sometimes you can more accurately assess a product's safety by reading through its ingredients list. Watch out for these toxins as you shop.
Greener cleaners
These days, many manufacturers market cleaning products as "green" or "environmentally friendly." Unfortunately, there's no standard definition for those terms, and labels aren't regulated, so they can mean almost anything—or nothing at all. For guidance, look for attributes such as:
• Low VOC or zero VOC. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are toxic chemicals emitted into the air.
• Plant-based or bio-based ingredients rather than petrochemical ingredients.
• Neutral or mild pH (closer to 7 than to 0 or 14).
• Recyclable packaging (or reusable, returnable or refillable container).
• Unscented.
• Recycled-content packaging and/or minimal packaging.
• "Readily biodegradable" defined as 60 to 70 percent biodegradable within 28 days.
Tips for the healthy housekeeper
Eco-friendly tools make household chores a breeze.
1. Are you applying nontoxic cleaners using sponges that contain chemical disinfectants such as antibacterial triclosan or triclocarban, both registered pesticides? If the package says the sponges are "antibacterial" or "kill odors," or if they have a chemical smell, they probably contain a disinfectant. Instead, buy pure cellulose sponges, usually available at your grocery store (if not, check a hardware store).
2. Use washable cloths and rags instead of disposable paper towels. If you do buy paper towels or other paper goods, choose those that aren't chlorine bleached and that have a high percentage of recycled content.
3. Rather than using abrasive, corrosive chemicals for scrubbing, use nontoxic soap. Give your elbow grease a boost with steel wool or dry salt.
4. Open windows while you're cleaning so cross-breezes can exhaust fumes to the outdoors. Even natural products—such as citrus or pine cleaners—can emit irritating fumes.

A healthy antidote to such sensationalized misconceptions—a murderous albino monk, you say?—comes with the release of "There Be Dragons" (Samuel Goldwyn), a generally powerful, partly fictionalized dramatization of passages in the life of Opus Dei's founder, St. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer (1902-75), intensely yet appealingly portrayed by Charlie Cox.
As fictional Spanish-born reporter Robert Torres (Dougray Scott) investigates Escriva's life, he's surprised to discover that his own father Manolo (Wes Bentley)—from whom Robert has long been estranged—was the future religious leader's childhood friend and seminary classmate.
With the tumult of the Spanish Civil War looming, however, the two men took diametrically different paths.
Once ordained, Escriva labored for the establishment of a community dedicated to achieving personal sanctity through everyday work, an organization whose structure—unprecedented in the modern church—would embrace women as well as men, laypeople as well as priests.
Having rejected the faith in favor of a bitterly cynical materialism, meanwhile, Manolo is shown pursuing a duplicitous role in the conflict engulfing his society.
Not the least of the obstacles Escriva confronted in furthering his "Work of God" (the English meaning of the Latin phrase "Opus Dei") was the increasingly violent anti-clericalism of the Loyalist side in the Spanish struggle.
Yet when these leftists begin desecrating churches and murdering priests in cold blood, Escriva remains evenhandedly neutral, sympathizing with his adversaries' motivations and aspirations and urging his handful of early followers to react with Christian forbearance.
This nuanced and charitable approach to the situation belies Escriva's reputation, in some circles, as an unabashed devotee of Franco's fascist vision.
The striking portrait of an anything-but-plaster saint that forms the heart of writer-director Roland Joffe's hybrid tale grippingly conveys its subject's struggle to discern his vocation and to live out the Christian message of peace, even in the most trying circumstances.
But the impact of these fact-based biographical elements is blunted by the fictive framework with which Joffe has chosen to surround them, a storytelling device that turns out to be more burden than enhancement. Thus, imaginary subplots such as the conflict between Robert and Manolo never seem quite convincing, and only serve to distract from a primary story which is both spiritually valuable and ably depicted.
The significance of that central chronicle is such, however, as to make "There Be Dragons" probably acceptable for older teens.
The film contains occasionally bloody action violence, a few sexual references, a couple of crude and a half-dozen crass terms. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III—adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13—parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Incorrect. The government's responsibility is to govern, which includes drawing a line on how "free" its people can be. If there were absolute freedom, the government need not exist because it would have no laws to enforce or create, and anarchy results.
the government has a moral responsibility to try to provide equality and freedom of choice to the people and is therefore wrong in denying gays/lesbians the right to marry the moral bit of it has no place in the legal part of this issue

I bought a great cookbook in Costco about 2 years ago.
'It's called 330 Vegetarian Recipes for Health, published by Hermes House. Its a lovely British production which really reminds me of that other esteemed publisher, DorlingKindersly., simply because it is a great encyclopaedic aid for all the types of ingredients you might want to use in vegeatarian and healthy cooking.
It lovingly photographs each item and explains all information in detail. Then the recipe section , has a ton of tempting ideas
Anyhow, I made a "meat loaf" and we liked it so much that I have gone to that page again and again, so that the recipe itself is almost obscured by spilled ingredients and often, it's hard to even open the page as it has somehow glued itself to it's neighbouring pages using the handy spilt ingredients as a very effective glue.
I do have various cookbook protectors and contraptions to hold the book while cooking but somehow they never get used.
"A great vegetarian alternative to meatloaf. Works great as leftovers as well. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash up the beans with a potato masher."
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 onions, finely chopped
- 1 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
- 14 ounces kidney beans, canned (in Canada, our cans of lentils and kidney beans always seem to be processed in 19 oz cans. You COULD remove the extra beans and use them for something else OR adjust the recipe accordingly)
- 14 ounces lentils, canned
- 1 eggs
- 1 carrots, coarsely grated (I put in more of everything, because I use more beans..)
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9″x5″x3″ loaf pan.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion, garlic & celery and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
- Rince and drain the beans and lentils. Place in a food processor with the onion mixture and egg and process until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and level the surface. Bake for about 1 hour, then remove from the pan and cut into slices to serve.
- Can be eaten hot or cold.
It is SO yummy; husband and all and sundry have approved it….

S&P became the third international ratings agency in under a week to downgrade Egypt because of the unrest that has gripped the Arab world's most populous nation. Demonstrators have focused their anger on a leader they say is sorely out of touch with their daily economic plight.

Leafs Appoint Two New Assistant Coaches
Monday, 06.20.2011 / 11:49 AM ET / Press Releases
Toronto Maple Leafs
|RELATED: Full presser | Burke 1 on 1 | Gordon 1 on 1 | Cronin 1 on 1 | Mapleleafs.com Blog
|DISCUSS IT ON: Leafspace | Twitter | Facebook
Brian Burke, President and General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Monday that Scott Gordon and Greg Cronin have been appointed assistant coaches on Ron Wilson's staff. Burke also disclosed that Keith Acton and Tim Hunter will not return to the team's coaching staff.
Gordon, 48, is a former head coach of the New York Islanders (2008 to 2010) and the U.S. National Team in 2010 and 2011. He was an assistant coach on Ron Wilson's silver-medal winning U.S. Olympic Team in 2010. A former goaltender, Gordon's international resume also includes his participation as a player for his home country in the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.
Gordon earned the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award as the American Hockey League's 'Coach of the Year' in 2007-08 as the Providence Bruins sported a league-best 55-18-3 record. He originally joined Providence as an assistant in 2000 and ascended to the head coach position near the end of the 2002-03 campaign. He fashioned a record of 221-141-20-27 (W-L-T-OT/SOL) in the five seasons running the bench of Providence.
Gordon's coaching career began with the International Hockey League's (IHL) Atlanta Knights from 1994 to 1996 and another two with that league's Quebec Rafales. He has the distinction of being the IHL's youngest head coach in their league's history when he became the bench boss of the Knights on January 5, 1996 at the age of 32. He is also a former coach of the East Coast Hockey League's Roanoke Express (1998-99).
A native of Easton, Massachusetts, Gordon was a goaltender for Boston College from 1982 to 1986, posting a career mark of 64-35-3. He's a former Hockey East First-Team All-Star in 1986 and he played a huge role in the Eagles' first place finish in the ECAC East Region in 1983-84. The Eagles would go on to first-place finishes in 1984-85 and 1985-86.
Gordon signed with the Quebec Nordiques in 1986-87. He made his NHL debut in 1989-90 with Quebec and he played a total of 23 NHL games, all with the Nordiques. He retired as a player following the 1993-94 season.
Cronin, 48, brings a wealth of professional and collegiate coaching experience to the Blue and White. Most recently, he completed his sixth season as head coach of Northeastern University. He led the team to their first consecutive seasons of posting a .500 record or better since the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons. He served as the head coach of the American Hockey League's (AHL) Bridgeport Tigers from 2003 to 2005, following a five-year stint as assistant coach with the New York Islanders from 1998 to 2003.
The native of Boston, Massachusetts was an assistant coach for Team U.S.A.'s entries at the 1997 and 2011 World Hockey Championship. In addition, he served as an assistant coach for two U.S. National Junior Teams (1997, 1998) and earned a silver medal with Team U.S.A. at the 1997 IIHF World Junior Championship. Cronin's coaching background also includes assistant coaching and interim head coach posts for both the University of Maine and Colorado College. He played four years at Colby College from 1982 to 1986 and he spent the 1987-88 season as an assistant coach at his alma mater. Cronin played an integral role in the institution of U.S.A. Hockey's National Team Development Program by serving at the helm of the inaugural National Under-18 team in 1997-98.

Publisher's Description
As the sun sets on a once-great nation, American Christians face a vital question: what now? It's evening in America. The remarkable society whose light once shone as a beacon to the world is dimming. This is the sobering assessment of Robert Jeffress in Twilight's Last Gleaming, yet he brings with that diagnosis a remarkably redemptive and hopefilled prescription for American believers. It's a timely message. Rarely in U.S. history have Christians been more discouraged and fearful about our country's future. Now Dr. Jeffress points a way out of this malaise, calling believers to action—not to restore a fading empire's glory, but to make an eternal impact on millions of eternal souls. With a foreword by Governor Mike Huckabee, here is a bold roadmap to guide your attitudes and actions in these volatile last days.

Duggan Family Fight 'Lawful Killing' Inquest Verdict
Wednesday 9th July 2014
The mother of Mark Duggan is at the High Court to try and overturn the inquest verdict that he was 'lawfully killed' by police.
The 29 year old was shot by police in Tottenham in North London in 2011.
An officer can only legally open fire if he honestly believes there is an imminent risk to his own life or to others.
Michael Mansfield QC, appearing for Pamela Duggan and the Duggan family, said the ten-strong inquest jury concluded by an 8-2 majority that they were sure that Mr Duggan did not have a gun in his hand when he was fatally shot - "however eight of the jurors also decided that Mr Duggan's death was lawful killing". Two jurors came to an open conclusion.
Mr Mansfield has asked three judges to declare that coroner Judge Keith Cutler misdirected the jury and, in doing so, violated human rights laws.
LBC's Lorraine Horgan has more:
"Michael Mansfield QC, who is representing the Duggan family, has been telling the court that there complaint relates to directions the jury were given by the coroner before they reached a lawful killing verdict. He said the nutshell of this case was in the question, how is it a man who is manifestly unarmed can be lawfully shot?
"Lawyers for the coroner say a gun contained in a sock was found on the grass in the vicinity of Mr Duggan's body and that there was a 'significant issue' about how it got there."
Mr Mansfield and fellow QC Leslie Thomas, who is also acting for the family, want the verdict quashed and replaced with an open verdict - or a fresh inquest held.
Lawyers for the coroner argue that there was no error in his summing up to the jury.
The hearing is expected to last for two days.
Carole Duggan, Mr Duggan's aunt said: "We as a family, like a lot of the public, were shocked by the outcome of the inquest into Mark's death - that the jury could have reached a lawful killing conclusion when they also concluded Mark was unarmed.
"We are equally shocked by the coroner's report, as his concerns, based on his recommendations, mirror exactly the concerns of the family before the inquest had even begun.
"As a result we are further confused by the contradictions in between the jury's findings and the detailed coroner's report."

Chris Hanson, who has a ranch on Little Butte near the desert, was appointed county sealer of weights and measures by the county court yesterday. The office was created by the last legislature and carries with it a salary of $3 a day.
It is the sealer's duty to inspect and tests all weights and measures, and every scale used in this county must have his seal on as proof of correctness.
Direct from the London Hippodrome where they created a tremendous sensation during the recent winter season, the Eight English Roses, the greatest aggregation of dancing stars to appear in Vaudeville, top the program at the Page for Wednesday.
The wonderful dancing marvels have attracted the attention of dramatic critics both here and abroad, and the engagement is a distinct triumph in popular-priced Vaudeville.
Acrobatic dances of the worth that have never been equaled will be featured by this remarkable galaxy of stars, while many other terrific effects that are truly artistic are included in the program.
This will be the first appearance of these remarkable models of grace and beauty at Pantages, and their success is assured.
Sensational in the extreme are the Four Cycling McNutts, the wonderful cyclists who make their first Medford appearance on the bill.
The McNutts have a routine that has never been excelled, and the feats they accomplish will certainly astound everyone fortunate enough to see them.
BOSTON, Aug. 10 — "The present Mrs. Goodwin is the right one at last," said Nat Goodwin, "love pirate," here today when for the seventh time he took the public into his confidence on his marital ventures.
"I'm settled for life now," Nat said, "Mrs Goodwin saved my life twice. I love her most of them all."
"Of course," he added, with fine generosity, "if I happened to meet any of my former wives I'd bow to them. But so far as reviving old associations go, I'm through with them all for good."

Ender's Game
by Orson Scott Card
Ender's Game Resources
OSC's website, including an awesome research area where Card answers reader questions. Whatever you think of him or his book, you have to respect the work he put into responding to his readers here.
While this is sometimes difficult to read – because they have their own jokey names for things – TV Tropes still makes a bunch of nice connections between different works. You know how Ender's game at the end turns out to be a real war – well, they have a whole list of works that use the "And you thought it was a game" trope.
The super-short, one-minute version of Ender's Game. Really.
Articles and Interviews
John Kessel argues that Ender's Game has some problems because of how much it lets Ender get away with. We might not totally agree with him, but this essay is very smart and is worth reading – even if just to argue against it.
This website gives adult reviews to see if books are OK for kids. We wouldn't take this too seriously, but it's funny to see Ender's Game accused of "frequent moderate swearing." Was there?... Their bottom line: it's emotionally gripping, though there are no good role models.
The reviewer likes it, but he only gives it two paragraphs.
Or, what would really happen if you tried to take over the world by writing opinions online (as Peter and Val do)?
Over at Time, Lev Grossman (who writes science fiction and fantasy) discusses some of the problems of adapting Ender's Game.
Orson Scott Card discusses this new (!!!) Ender sequel.
Card discusses the Marvel adaptation of Ender's Game.
OSC made an appearance at Comic-Con in New York in 2008. Check out his interview there.
Around the time that Marvel adapted Ender's Game, Card went on NPR to talk about it.
This link should take you to a site where you can read the first few pages of Marvel's adaptation of Ender's Game.
A sequel to Ender's Game that picks up where EG left off. Check out the Google Books preview here.
A parallel book telling the story of Ender's Game from Bean's perspective. Take a peek using Amazon's preview.
Ender's Game has had a lot of editions, and boy do people like coming up with new covers for them.
Looks like a pretty nice guy.
Card has a whole collection of pictures on his site of him as a kid. Also, in case you haven't been around any 6-11 year olds lately, this will help to remind you of how young Ender is.
Movie or TV Productions
There has never been an Ender's Game movie, but there's always been talk about making one. And maybe it will finally happen.

The Fayette County Prosecutor says there is a definite answer to the question, does the death penalty deter others from committing murder?
"The answer is yes, of the last six years it is a deterrant, every execution deters as few as three and as many as 18 murders."
Ray Larson is basing his answer on a study by an economics professor in Colorado.
"the ones done recently have been done by death penalty opponents."
Others, like father Pat Delahanty aren't convinced by the study... he points to statistics to back up his views.
"where there is no penalty murder is lower than the the 38 states that do have the death penalty."
Delahanty says some people are going to commit a crime no matter what the consquence.
"What deters a half drunk, high on cocaine person who needs to buy a hit from walking into a convience store and killing the clerk that doesn't move fast enough.
"You want me to say that someone who goes into a convience store to rob the place is going to be deterred i hope so, are they all detered...no"
Since capital punishment was reinstated in Kentucky in 1976, two people have been put to death.

Chen); School of Health and Wellbeing, University of Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton, England (Dr Zhang); Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, Oxford, England (Mr Chen); and Division of Psychiatry, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, England (Dr Wilson).
The study population is derived from our 4-province study in China. The methods of the study have been fully described before.4 Briefly, during 2008-2009 we selected 1 rural and 1 urban community from each of 4 provinces (Guangdong, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, and Shanxi) as the study fields to examine risk factors for dementia. We proposed to recruit no less than 500 participants in each community. The target population consisted of those residents 60 years or older who had lived for at least 5 years in the areas. On the basis of the residency list of the committees, we recruited a total of 4314 participants, with a response rate of 93.8%. The main interview materials were the Geriatric Mental Status (GMS)—a comprehensive semistructured mental state interview—and a general health and risk factors questionnaire,4 including a detailed questionnaire of passive smoking exposure derived from the Scottish Monitoring of Trends and Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) study.1 According to standard procedures,1 we measured blood pressure, weight, and waist circumferences for all participants. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee, University College London.
We used a computer program–assisted diagnosis, the Automated Geriatric Examination for Computer Assisted Taxonomy (AGECAT), to analyze the information from the GMS to identify the principal mental disorders in the study participants.4 The methods of diagnosing dementia have been fully described.4 Briefly, AGECAT analyses of the GMS data bring symptom components together into groups that typify the major symptom areas of each diagnostic syndrome (organic disorder, depression, mania, schizophrenia and paranoia, obsessional, phobic, hypochondriacal, and general anxiety). Individual participants are allocated to levels of confidence of diagnosis (0-5) on each of the 8 diagnostic syndromes. Then the various syndrome levels are compared with one another to derive a final differential diagnosis, a level of confidence of diagnosis from 0 to 5. A level of 3 or higher, in most circumstances designates a "case level," which corresponds to a level of severity that warrants clinical intervention. Levels 1 and 2 are designated as "subcases," while level 0 (no confidence level on any syndrome) is classified as "well."4 Dementia cases diagnosed using GMS-AGECAT algorithms have been compared with psychiatrists' diagnoses and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Third Edition) criteria and applied with good levels of agreement in a variety of settings, including elderly individuals in China.5 The dementia subcases describe those having cognitive impairment not severe enough to qualify as a dementia case.4
We analyzed data restricted to women who had never smoked (1986 of 2465 female participants). Using a Cox regression model (time variable = 1), we calculated relative risk (ie, hazard ratio) of dementia among participants experiencing passive smoking, with adjustment for age, 4-province region, urban-rurality, educational level, occupation, marital status, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, head injuries, hypertension, and stroke. All analyses were performed in Stata, version 11 (StataCorp).
Of 1986 never-smoking women, 1979 had data available for passive smoking exposure. We documented 174 dementia cases and 163 subcases. There was a significant increase in levels of dementia among 635 women exposed to passive smoking (11.7% dementia cases and 9.4% subcases) compared with those without exposure (7.4% and 7.7%). Age-adjusted relative risk (95% CI) was 1.64 (1.21-2.21) (P = .001) for dementia cases and 1.25 (0.91-1.72) (P = .17) for subcases. In the full adjustment, the matched figures were 1.39 (1.01-1.89) (P = .04) for dementia cases and 1.15 (0.83-1.60) (P = .40) for subcases.
The increased risk of dementia cases associated with passive smoking was consistent across different sources of exposure, and there was a significant cumulative dose-response relationship (Table). There was no such significant association for dementia subcases with passive smoking (data on request).
To our knowledge, our study is the first to investigate the association between passive smoking exposure and cognitive impairment in women, indicating that passive smoking increases the risk of cognitive impairment with a dose-response relationship. The association was stronger for passive smoking exposure at work than at home or in other places.
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of tobacco. Yang et al6 reported that in a 1996 national survey the prevalence rate for ever-smokers was 66.9% for men and 4.2% for women older than 15 years, and of the nonsmokers, 53.5% were regularly exposed to passive smoking, while the 2002 survey data suggested thatthe levels of smoking and passive smoking exposure were similar to those in 1996 and not improved. Our recent data (submitted for publication) has shown that in never-smoking Chinese, older women had an approximately 50% higher risk of exposure to passive smoking than men. Thus, it is not surprising that we have found a significant relationship between passive smoking exposure and the risk of cognitive impairment in these women.
We did not measure cotinine levels to quantify passive smoking exposure, which is a main limitation of the study. Self-reported passive smoking may underestimate exposure,7 although it can distinguish relative levels of exposure to passive smoking.8 Our previous studies1,9 suggested that the combination of a questionnaire and cotinine levels for measuring passive smoking exposure would increase the statistical power. Therefore the association of passive smoking with dementia in the present study may be more conservative without using cotinine levels for analysis. The findings of this study are unlikely to result from chance or bias. Large prospective studies are required to confirm the causal relationship between passive smoking and cognitive impairment. Nevertheless, more campaigns for smoking cessation and control of smoking in public areas will help reduce the risk of dementia and the encroaching worldwide dementia epidemic.

As Internet traffic grows, current core network technologies will raise issues in terms of energy consumption. Here, the authors propose three possible optical network architectures for the next-generation Internet core, including an all-optical hybrid optical switching (HOS) network, an optical/electronic HOS network, and an all-electronic switching network. They evaluate and compare all three networks with regard to performance and power consumption via an event-driven simulator.

It has been a great battle, very exciting and balanced, with very good overtakes and a thrilling final lap… I think it would be difficult to see a more exiting race, not only in MotoGP but in any motor sport event! Marc is doing something so special that it is difficult to find the words to comment about it!
Dani is back, and this is very good for us and for the show! He rode a very good race and even if he lost the second place in the last lap, I think he must be very happy with his weekend here in Barcelona.
It is a great result, and we are so proud to celebrate it! We must thank all the people that have contributed to achieve this milestone, from the designers of the bikes in HRC Japan to the mechanics here on track, but especially all the riders that have won on our machines!
The Marquez family is unbelievable! I can't imagine how happy and proud Marc and Alex's parents are today - and it happened in their home GP! It's difficult to imagine a day like today, even in their wildest dreams! I'm also super happy for all the Moto3 HRC staff. They did a great job this winter and they have deserved this win since the beginning of this season!
Assen last season was the most difficult track for us and it won't be easy to beat Vale and Jorge there, but this is an extra motivation!

All Sorts of Weird Stuff offers news and information about George R.R. Martin, in particular about his A Song of Ice and Fire series.
"When I was young, I read all sorts of stuff. One week it would be Lovecraft, the next Vance. It was all imaginative literature, or as my dad called it 'Weird Stuff.' It was all 'Weird Stuff.'"
George R.R. Martin
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
After his signing in Belfast, George R.R. Martin and a number of fans gathered together at a nearby pub to while away the hours into the evening. We've links to the reports that followed over at the Game of Thrones site, but there's a couple of pieces of information of interest to fans more interested in the literary side of things.
First, Starcrossed Lovers is going to be a straightforward anthology of fantasy stories with a romantic bent, unlike Warriors (US, UK), which features a mix of genres; Martin has written a third Dunk & Egg story, titled "The Mystery Knight", for the latter anthology. Because of this genre mixture, it seems British publishers are more hesitant to sign on to publishing the book, but GRRM is confident something will be worked out for UK publication.
Second, in regards to A Dance with Dragons (US, UK, George reports he's happy with his progress these last months, and reiterates he has 1100 manuscript pages written but will need some more before he's done. He also confirms that in part the "Meereenese Knot" has to do with getting various characters where they need to be in a way that fits what we know from the previous novels.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Sun Stops Solaris Express Community Edition
Sun will discontinue production of Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) by the end of October. A replacement is being planned.
SXCE is a binary version of the latest editions of the free operating system made especially for developers. In a bi-weekly release rhythm, Sun produced packages and components, not yet picked up by the source code of the official distro, in the form of an ISO image. This enabled the fast and uncomplicated testing and use of packages by developers, albeit without the support of Sun. This service will end in October writes Sun developer Glynn Foster on the OpenSolaris forum.
In future the latest Solaris packages will be made available as Image Packaging Systems (IPS). For now, this will take place in tandem with the SVR4 packages, but these too are to be discontinued, adds Foster. He goes on to promise community support during the changeover and updated information regarding the transition schedule as soon as it becomes available.

Today on ye old blog I'm super thrilled to have my chaptermate and friend Sofia Tate here to talk about her debut BREATHLESS FOR HIM out July 1 from Forever Yours. Thanks so much for being here on ye old blog today, Sofia. It's a real treat.
Thank you, Kwana. It's my pleasure!
First off can you tell us a bit about your current work?
BREATHLESS FOR HIM is a contemporary erotic romance about a billionaire named Davison Berkeley, who comes from a wealthy society family in Manhattan. One night, he retrieves a glove that he lost at a trendy bistro, and the instant he meets the coat check girl, Allegra Orsini, the spark is ignited-he is instantly drawn to her. For Allegra, the feeling is mutual. Allegra is the daughter of a butcher in Little Italy. She is also an aspiring opera singer and a graduate student of voice at a Manhattan conservatory. The lingering trauma of an event that happened to Allegra when she was five years old will affect her relationship with Davison, as will Davison's ex-girlfriend, Ashton Canterbury.
What inspired you to write this story?
The basis of the story is a short story I wrote when I was studying for my MFA degree in creative writing. One evening in my fiction workshop, my professor gave us a story prompt-two left gloves. We had five minutes to write a story about them. I developed the story and titled it "Hearsay," a word that plays a prominent role in the opening chapter. Basically, the first chapter of BREATHLESS FOR HIM is that story.
What made you choose this genre to write in?
Years ago, I tried writing a book in the vein of Bridget Jones' Diary, but my heart just wasn't in it. Around 2010, I wrote about 100 pages of a paranormal romance. Then I started buying RT Book Reviews every month to learn more about the romance industry. I read a review of SINFUL by Charlotte Featherstone and bought it immediately for my Kindle. After reading it, I knew I finally found my niche in erotic romance, but instead of historical erotic romance, I knew I'd be better at writing contemporary.
Tell us a bit about your writing schedule. Are you a Plotter or a Pantser?
I'm a plotter, but I don't use a whiteboard or Scrivener. I write in a notebook, always using these red Pilot rolling ball extra fine pens I get at Staples-I guess you could say that's my superstition. If Pilot ever stopped making them, I'd be devastated. I usually write at night, but I also write during the day when I can.
This is a favorite of mine. Care to share the story of your "overnight" success with my readers?
BREATHLESS FOR HIM had already been rejected by two publishers last year before I got the offer from my editor at Forever Yours. It took exactly a month between submission and the offer, which I think is mind-blowing and I'm still in awe of it all.
Who are some of your favorite writers that have influenced you? (sub-question) What book is currently on your nightstand or e-reader?
Charlotte Featherstone, Eden Bradley, Samantha Young, Raine Miller, Sylvia Day, Logan Belle, and Kate Pearce. I just finished reading Collide and Pulse by Gail McHugh. Gavin Blake-oh my! That man….
What advice would you give aspiring writers?
Hone your craft. Take writing classes. If you're an aspiring romance writer, read RT Book Reviews. Go to the RT convention. Join RWA and your local RWA chapter. And READ! Read both in the genre you want to write in and outside it.
Right now, I'm working on Book 2 in my Davison & Allegra series, DEVOTED TO HIM, which will be out December 2 from Forever Yours.
Yay! I'm so excited to hear there will be a book 2 on the way! Throws confetti!
Thanks so much for being here today. It's been a real pleasure. And now for some extra fun, Sofia has agreed to give one lucky commenter a copy of BREATHLESS FOR HIM, so comment away! Winner will be announced on Friday!

It's the end of May, I'm sitting just a mile shy of the border to Northern Ireland, and the sun is shining.
The real sun.
Not a mass hallucination from our light-starved brains.
Not a nuclear explosion detonated to shake us from our upcoming fiscal treaty referendum apathy (our government will try anything, and the posters aren't working).
Just our nearest, coziest, star doing what it's meant to do in the summer.
Acres of alarming, doughy flesh is being exposed to the clement conditions in celebration of this unseasonable sunshine.
(And that's just mine)
The gravity of the situation cannot be over-estimated.
I fully expect a plague of locusts to march through our newly dry boglands (although they won't hang around as they will no doubt swarm off across the border to Newry to do a bit of shopping when the exchange rate is so good).
My wellies and raincoat weep with neglect at the back door.
The country is filled with pale creatures, sniffing about like terrified, par-boiled rabbits in case the shiny thing in the sky starts to cackle with laughter and boom "The sun? In the northern hemisphere? In Summer? You must be MAD! Take a good look, boys and girls. Barbecue yourselves like pasty little Irish kebabs while you can...because you will never see me again! Mwahahahahahaha!".
But that's not where the summer madness ends.
This summer we are able to allow Finian to play outside the house without constant supervision (by constant, I mean being no more than 3 feet from him wearing fully primed nikes and a lasso at all times).
Now we can trust him to potter about between the swing, the car and the trampoline without absconding like a convicted criminal from a low-security Irish prison (which happens with tedious regularity).
I can actually sit outside and read a book while keeping an eye on him, or go indoors and peel the potatoes for dinner while watching him through the window.
This time last year, if someone had suggested this would be the case, I would have pointed skywards and said "the roundy thing up there is frying your faculties".
So it looks like education works.
Who knew?
The world has gone mad, but the madness is pretty great when we have to protect ourselves from with an SPF 50 instead of Prozac.

Ambum Kompiam
John Pundari's 9,000 vote difference with the nearest runner up is very suspicious.
John Pundari has been an absent figure in the Ambum and Kompiam sub-districts for the last 5 years.
It is everyone's knowledge that, he is based in Port Moresby running a Timber Yard at 8-Mile, at the mouth of the Moitaka Road and the Fuel/Transport company based at Badili, just in front of the TLI House, some security company and some asian connected businesses.
The road conditions in Kompiam and Ambum are very bad. 4
The schools and other government facilities are nonexistent there - or have fallen to deplorable state.
Certainly John Pundari doesn't come close to the calibre of Sam Basil, Powes Parkop or even his own Governor Peter Ipatas.
Can John Pundari himself or any of his supporters tell us why and how he is managing to get these kind of landslide votes please?
Maybe the Electoral Commission may want to shed some light on this phenomenon.
Thank you.
Disappointed Citizen of Ambum Kompiam

What can i do to make it look nice / nicer?Posted Monday, 1 August, 2011 - 18:06 by Stupid_2D in
Hello everyone,
I know this question sounds stupid, but im stuck with it.
[OpenTK + C# ]
The thing is, I am working on a simple 2D Tower defence game, to get myself into the whole OpenGL stuff.
Well I am at the point that the game is working and all, but the graphics look boring. No matter how hard i try making detailed textures (png files) it is still not enough.
So at the moment I just draw stuff on screen (using BeginMode.Quads + Texture) , no effects or anything. Well i do use bleinding i bellieve to make Transparent textures work (oh wow).
What can i do to make it look nicer the easy way?
By that is there anything where i need just one line (sounds stupid i know) infront of the drawing methods like
I tried using lightning, but i failed hard not beeing able to create a spotlight arround my cursor on a 2D scenery.
tl;dr I cant find any decent tutorial.
Haha, if only it was that easy. :)
Could you perhaps post some screenshots? It's usually a lot of work to get cool effects from scratch with OpenGL. For OpenGL to be as powerful as it is, it needs to be extremely versatile, and this makes it vastly more difficult to get started with than using a framework (like XNA), or an engine of some sort.
Even so there might be a few obvious things you can do to improve the graphics. If you like some of the effects in my own game : http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/607816 then I can give you some tips, but you'll need to choose something specific. There's certainly no "make-everything-look-cool" button anywhere. :P
Thank you for your quick reply. I know there is no "do all the work for me".
I want to learn stuff. Thats why i basically seek for advice / tutorials.
*edit HOLY Shit your game looks awesome!
This is my progress sofar:
As you see, it still looks pretty boring. I know that i could add more detailed textures and such - im working on it. (Needz more timez)
For the future, i plan to make the path more natural and also adding various grass textures with some details.
The Projectiles and Towers will be reworked aswell. Only thing im proud of are the creeps imho :)
Still i came to the conclusion that better textures wont be the whole deal.
Its fully functional. Its Missing GUI though, had other goals till now.
I can add creeps / towers and levels by simply editing a texftile. So the game itself is almost finished.
This is my usual "render code"
GL.PushMatrix(); GL.Translate(rx,ry,0); GL.Rotate(yaw,0,0,1); GL.Color4(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f,1.0f); tex.BindTexture("creep_base"); GL.Begin(BeginMode.Quads); GL.TexCoord2(0,0); GL.Vertex3(-Tile_Size, -Tile_Size, 0.0f); GL.TexCoord2(1,0); GL.Vertex3(Tile_Size, -Tile_Size, 0.0f); GL.TexCoord2(1,1); GL.Vertex3(Tile_Size, Tile_Size, 0.0f); GL.TexCoord2(0,1); GL.Vertex3(-Tile_Size,Tile_Size,0.0f); GL.End(); GL.PopMatrix();
