ZENT CERUMO SC430 (Tachikawa/Lyons) Wins for First Time this Season
The FUJI GT 500KM RACE, Round 3 of the 2008 AUTOBACS SUPER GT series, took place at Fuji Speedway (one lap 4.563 km x 110 laps) in Shizuoka Pref. on May 4, and victory was won by the ZENT CERUMO SC430 driven by Yuji Tachikawa and Richard Lyons for the first time this season.
Tachikawa and the ZENT CERUMO SC430 have had many successes at Fuji Speedway, but yesterday they had to settle for 2nd place in the qualifying as the pole position was taken by the TAKATA DOME NSX. But, as the competitors lined up for the 14:00 start, the ZENT CERUMO SC430 team was determined to make up for that.
In the early stages of the race the TAKATA DOME NSX driven by Takashi Kogure held the lead, but Tachikawa stayed behind him in 2nd position. When Kogure spun out on a turn in lap 22, Tachikawa had no trouble moving the ZENT CERUMO SC430 into the lead. After that, Tachikawa turned over the machine to Richard Lyons, then Tachikawa took the wheel again. They never relinquished the lead except for their pit stops on the way to the win in the long 500 km race.
For the SC430, this was the first win since round six last season in August. For Tachikawa, this win extends his record for most GT wins to 10. For Lyons, this was his first win since moving to a Toyota team. Having also scored wins with Honda and Nissan teams, Lyons became only the second driver in GT history to win GT500 races driving for all three of the major domestic makers.
The GT300 class saw a pole-to-finish victory by the Lightning McQueen apr MR-S driven by Kohei Hirate and Keisuke Kunimoto. Born on January 9, 1989, Kunimoto is just 19 years old. This win gave him the record for the youngest driver ever to win a GT race, three months under to previous record of 19 years and seven months old. (Spectators: 56,900)
Winner Comments
No.38 ZENT CERUMO SC430 [GT500]
Yuji Tachikawa: "We had tough races in the opening round and round two so far this season, but this time our machine was very competitive (compared to the rival machines). The pole position is not as important for winning here at Fuji as it is at the other races, but it was still frustrating to lose the pole position yesterday by 0.1 sec. So, I was determined to win today. I was worried about how the tires would hold out, but after we got the lead it was easier and things went well. Although we won today, it is clear that we can't relax when thinking in terms of the season title. The NSX was fast today, and the GT-R has been so fast (in the first two rounds), so who knows what is going to happen. But we are now competitive, so I am going to do my best to keep winning."
Richard Lyons: "This was a fantastic day for everyone at Toyota, for the fans and for me. With this win, I have now won races with all three of the top Japanese makers. I have been fortunate to have Toyota and the team mechanics prepare such a good car, and for the sponsors who have supported us for so many years. I am very happy to be with this team. I am going to do my best in each race from now on to try to win the series title."
No.95 Lightning McQueen apr MR-S [GT300]
Kohei Hirate: "I am very happy to have won here at Fuji today with the Toyota machine. It makes my so glad to have been able to win the pole position yesterday and then the race today. During the race I had complete faith that with these Michelin tires I could push as hard as I wanted. Although I was being chased and the gap was narrowing, I talked to the team and they told me not to worry or push too hard because we could recover the time (by taking fewer pit stops) even if I go passed. I would say that I did my job 100% today. And I was glad to be up there on the podium in front of so many GT fans."
Keisuke Kunimoto: "Considering that the results were not good for us in rounds one and two, I am very happy that we won today. Since Hirate san got us a lead, I was able to race relaxed and enjoy myself out there. I think that is why things went so well. The Michelin tires we are using are good in the summer heat, so I am going to do my best to help us win more points in the races to come."

Rights Watch lauds FGM law in Iraqi Kurdistan
Human Rights Watch lauds FGM law in Iraqi
"But the government needs a long-term strategy to
deal with this harmful practice because
criminalizing it is not enough."
Family Violence Bill also criminalizes forced and
child marriages, verbal, physical, and psychological
abuse of girls and women, child abuse, and child
labor. The bill has to be ratified by the president
of the Kurdistan Regional Government.
The new law provides for establishing special courts
for family violence cases and makes it easier for
alleged victims to press charges. It also
establishes mechanisms for police and courts to
issue and enforce restraining orders to protect
victims of domestic abuse. The bill also outlines
penalties, including prison sentences, for these
Article six of the law includes four provisions
about female genital mutilation, criminalizing the
practice and penalizing anyone, including medical
professionals and midwives, who "instigate, assist,
or carry out" the procedure. Criminal penalties
include prison terms ranging from six months to
three years, in addition to fines of up to 10
million dinars ($8,500).
In June 2010, Human Rights Watch issued a report,
"They Took Me and Told Me Nothing: Female Genital
Mutilation in Iraqi Kurdistan," which urged the
Kurdistan Regional Government and the Kurdistan
parliament to take a series of steps to end the
practice, including enacting laws banning it.
The report noted while it was important to pass
legislation with appropriate penalties for people
who perform the procedure, the government should
also provide appropriate services for victims,
including health care and social and psychological
support. The report urged the government to work
with community midwives,www.ekurd.netwho
most often do the cutting, and to undertake public
awareness campaigns against the practice. Human
Rights Watch also called on the regional government
to develop a comprehensive legal and policy
framework with relevant ministries and civil society
organizations aimed at eradicating the practice.
Human Rights Watch's report describes the
experiences of young girls and women who undergo
genital mutilation and the terrible toll it has on
their physical and mental health. The report
includes interviews with girls and women who
referred to the practice as "sunnah," a
non-obligatory act to strengthen one's religion.
Human Rights Watch found that women are confused
about whether the practice is a religious
On July 6, 2010, The High Committee for Issuing
Fatwas at the Kurdistan Islamic Scholars Union, the
highest Muslim religious authority in Iraqi
Kurdistan on religious pronouncements and rulings,
issued a fatwa, or religious edict, shortly after
the release of Human Rights Watch's report. The
fatwa stated that female genital mutilation predates
Islam and is not required by it. The fatwa did not
explicitly ban the practice but encouraged parents
not to have the procedure performed on their
daughters because of the negative health
In 2010, the Association for Crisis Assistance and
Development Co-operation (WADI), a German-Iraqi
human rights nongovernmental organization, published
a statistical study on the prevalence of the
practice in Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, and the Germian/Kirkuk
region. It found that out of the 1,408 girls and
women age 14 and over it interviewed, 72.7 percent
had undergone the practice. For the 12 to 24 age
group, the prevalence was slightly over 40 percent.
Shortly after the Human Rights Watch report was
issued, the Kurdistan Health Ministry surveyed 5,000
women and girls and found that 41 percent had
undergone the procedure, and that the practice is
prevalent in some regions than others in Kurdistan.
The ministry found, for example, that the rate was
higher in Sulaimaniyah than in Erbil.
Female genital mutilation violates the rights of
women to life, health and bodily integrity,
non-discrimination and the right not to be subjected
to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. In
addition, since the practice predominantly affects
girls under 18, it also violates children's rights
to health, life, physical integrity, and
"Once the ban is in effect, government agencies
should widely disseminate information on the new law
making sure it reaches women and girls at risk of
FGM," Khalife said. "Everyone should now know that
the mutilation of girls is prohibited."

Stadium Field, a superintendent evaluation and the effects of this brutal winter.
They're all up for discussion again Tuesday night by the Wood County Board of Education.
Last week the board deferred to this week's meeting approving a plan to raise money for the Stadium Field bleacher project completed last fall.
The board originally considered a plan to tack a $1 surcharge on ticket prices for school athletic events.
But as the discussion went on, it was leaning toward another plan - one aimed at raising enough money to pay off the project in five years.
It also will bring up the evaluation of current Superintendent Dr. Pat Law.
While Law is stepping down at the end of July, it has been agreed the board would proceed as usual with his annual evaluation.
And the board is also to discuss the school calendar.
That's not the one for the upcoming school year, but the current year - 2013-2014.
The school system already has set make-up days for those lost due to winter weather cancellations.
It's possible more might have to be approved before the year is over.

Things I liked: everything !! I have a FWB 65 I bought in the 70's that has been in my safe for many years . I saw the ads for the Morinis and that sparked my interest in indoor 10 mm shooting. I started shooting my FWB 65 and it still shot way better than I could shoot. I am 74 YO and cocking the 65 was a chore. I came across the Alpha at half the price of the top of the line guns. Since I have a scuba and a CF tank for my Marauders I pulled the trigger on the Alpha .So no problems just fun.
Things I would have changed: You have to buy the decided grips . It really needs a pressure gage >
What others should know: Check it out your self

Things I liked: Great value and accuracy. I got this as a starter 10m competition pistol.
Things I would have changed: The ambidextrous grip is a compromise and not good for either right or left handers. I would recommend that you purchase a dedicated right or left hand grip once you become proficient. The air tank has no gauge, not a big issue except it hard to diagnose if you have a problem with your tank. My tank had a leak. If I filled the tank and shot it to empty immediately after filling it, I can normally get 80 shots, However if I wait a few hours, my shot count goes down to anywhere from 30 to 60 shots. This level of unpredictability will not work for competition. I use the Hill pump (great pump) and I can't imagine having to pump air in the tank right before the start of the competition (the effort raises your heart rate and increases stress) or god forbid, during a middle of the competition.
What others should know: Its a great starter gun if everything worked properly but unfortunately I didn't. I was originally going to ask for an exchange but after some thought I returned it. I've come to the conclusion that there is really no cheap way to get into the 10m competition and decided to get either a FWB or some other higher end pistol.

Things I liked: very accurate, fun to shoot, easy to fill with air
Things I would have changed: i would have the quick disconnect instead of the adapter they use.
What others should know: i shoot this at rangers from 15 feet to 40 feet and i get one hole groups less the MOA. i usually shoot out the red in the bulls eye on all target.
when should I stop filling the gun, to what psi?
According to the manual, max operating pressure is 200 bar (3000 PSI)
When I charge the gun, I can hear the air leaking from somewhere in the pistol. I checked and lubed the O ring where the reservoir attaches to the action and it contiues to leak. Any suggestions?
How do you fill the gun with the adaptor provided. Mine bleeds air and can't form a seal at the adaptor. Review the instructions and you will see a different adaptor.
Lee. You can use bees wax or clay to plug up the hole inside the fill adaptor. That's what I had to do to fix the leaky adaptor. I use the bleed valve on the pump or air tank instead of the one on the adaptor.
To fill your PCP gun:
1.Pick a source of air shown at right
2.If an adapter is needed, one will be shown
3.Add both to your cart to get hooked up

Smith's Law of Theft
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days
Smith's Law of Theft has long been established as the definitive work on the subject and is frequently cited in the appellate courts. Now in its ninth edition, the book provides a detailed and critical account of the law of theft and related dishonesty offences. It contains the full, amended text of relevant legislation (notably, the Theft Acts 1968, 1978, and 1996) together with a detailed analysis of the provisions of the statutes and the extensive case law which has grown up around them. This new edition has been comprehensively rewritten and updated to take full account of the Fraud Act 2006, which has replaced the deception offences with new fraud offences. There have been major changes in other areas of law besides fraud, and the authors offer expert analysis of case law developments such as Hinks in the House of Lords on theft and gift, jurisdictional issues arising from Smith; and of procedural changes introduced by the fraud protocol and the imminent introduction of judge only trials. A whole new chapter on conspiracy to defraud is included in the new edition, and the full text of the Fraud Act and the fraud protocol are included in the appendices.show more

Here is my problem, after redirect by wp-login.php, the original post data ($_POST) by A.app can't be access anymore. Could someone here kindly help me on this? Thank you. :)

The Medford City Council has waded into one of the most divisive issues a city can face: Whether to regulate dog breeds commonly called pit bulls and, if so, how. If there is anything more tenacious than a muscular dog sometimes bred to fight other dogs, it is the owner of one of those dogs who insists the animals are harmless and misunderstood.
The council has asked a police advisory committee to study the issue and report back with recommendations. That study needs to be thorough and painstaking, and focus on verifiable facts, not myths.
Medford police say they want to see a city ordinance that gives them the clout to rein in dangerous animals they encounter in the course of their work and help them protect the public. Department statistics bear out the need to do something: In the past three years, 89 reported cases have involved dogs biting humans or other dogs in Medford. Police say pit bull-type dogs were involved in half the cases, and were responsible for eight of 11 cases in which dogs were killed by other dogs.
We say "pit bull-type" dogs because there is no recognized breed known as a pit bull. The dogs may be American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire terriers or other breeds or mixtures of breeds with similar characteristics: a wide skull, powerful jaws and a muscular, stocky body, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Defenders of the pit bull will argue that they are no more likely to bite than any other breed, and that they are actually less dangerous to people than many other breeds.
However, even the ASPCA, which opposes breed-specific laws aimed at pit bulls, notes on its website that the animals were selectively bred to fight other dogs, and for this reason can easily be encouraged to do so. The site notes that pit bulls have been bred to behave differently in a fight than other dogs — specifically, that they may not give warning before becoming aggressive, may be less likely to back down and more likely to cause injury because they do not inhibit their bites. "Pit bulls are not for everyone," the site warns.
It is not true that pit bulls have jaws that "lock." They may, however, bite and hold more frequently than other dogs when fighting, and their bites can cause more damage as a result.
Clearly, how such dogs are trained and treated by their owners has a huge influence on how they behave. Police say pit bulls are favorites with drug dealers they encounter when serving search warrants.
The biggest obstacle to an outright ban on "pit bulls" is the difficulty in defining what a pit bull is and proving that one dog violates the ban while another does not. Adopting a list of recognized breeds to be outlawed and then conducting DNA tests would be cumbersome and expensive.
Any ordinance drafted to deal with aggressive dogs should carry real consequences for dog owners who fail to control their animals. Police should be given the discretion to decide when a dog poses a threat to people or to other dogs and to seize dogs when necessary to prevent injury or worse.
The advisory committee has its work cut out for it.

Here's a technical look at how to trade several stocks rising on unusual volume lately.
Cramer remains a buyer of Domino's and thinks Snap-On's latest earnings disappointment was a rare blip for a great company.
Cramer says a recent survey's results are horrendous even as they are totally understandable.
Trade-Ideas LLC identified Domino's Pizza (DPZ) as a new lifetime high candidate
Domino's Pizza (DPZ) stock is surging in pre-market trading on Thursday, after the company posted better-than-expected earnings for the fiscal 2016 second quarter.
Large three-topping carryout pizzas are now $7.99 every day
Jim Cramer will be watching a host of earnings next week. In addition, he offers his playbook for financial literacy.
Cramer shares his views on why something could be up in biotech, restaurants and retail. Celgene, Regeneron and Domino's are among the stocks discussed.
Why study charts? Because charts are like the footprints at the scene of the crime, clues to what the big money managers are likely thinking, Cramer says.
Biotech, restaurants and retail have been left for dead but are showing signs of life today.
Despite all the doom and gloom, this week turned out to be the best so far this year, Cramer says.
Trifecta Stocks expects Domino's Pizza (DPZ) stock to regain some of the momentum lost in April.
Participants from all around the world competed; only one crowned
McDonald's has been killing it in the U.K. as its cheap fast food has won over economically-challenged Brits.
Domino's Pizza (DPZ) received a rating downgrade to 'neutral at Nomura this morning.
Here are Wednesday's top research calls, including downgrades for Domino's Pizza, McDonald's and Tesla, and an upgrade for Priceline.
Because of strong demand, Domino's is no longer giving away pizzas with T-Mobile, while Snapchat will launch a digital magazine later this month.
Cramer says Splunk is in the early innings of growth, Chipotle may be jinxed and Henry Schein is a buy.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
The U.S. Department of Transportation said it is seeking to make speed limiting devices a requirement on all newly manufactured trucks with a gross vehicle rating of more than 26,000 pounds.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The expanded Panama Canal locks, which just opened June 26 to handle vessels up to 14,000 TEUs, are expected to reshape U.S. East Coast port operations.
Ocean carrier MSC has started investing in TRAXENS, a French start-up that produces technology for ocean container tracking.
However, chassis lessors oppose the West Coast Marine Terminal Operator Agreement members' plan to implement a $5 fee on chassis that move in and out of container terminals at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, saying it will cost them $29 million.

On the Dutch side of St Maarten (St Martin), there is a beach. On the beach, there is a runway. On the runway, there are planes landing that just flew over the heads of swimmers and sunbathers – people who were either taking photos and feeling the adrenaline rush of having a plane pass by a few yards above you… or who were fighting the urge to run for their lives.
The Princess Juliana International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the Caribbean, probably because it's both a hub for the surrounding islands and because St Maarten is a beautiful destination itself.
So if you're headed this way, an afternoon at Maho Beach just might be one of the most memorable of them all. Try and get there around 1pm – the 747s land around 2pm and take off around 4pm. Also, keep your stuff close by, since the sand gets blown around like a mini-sandstorm. There's even a sign by the airport's fence that warns people about getting too close to the jet blast (complete with sign of a beach-goer getting blown backwards by a departing plane).
The Sunset Beach Bar is a good location to watch the show from if you're a bit nervous about being in the waves or sand. It was hit by a hurricane in '08 but has since reopened (however, can be a bit of a party place – think bikini contests).
Princess Juliana Int'l is served by plenty of major airlines, including United, Delta, Air Canada, Air France, American Airlines, US Airways, JetBlue, KLM and Spirit. It has a permanent home on Top-Ten lists like "Best scenic landings" and "Most beautiful runways" and the like.
There's an airport on France's side of the island, too, but it's not nearly as cool.

Milwaukee Artist Resource Network eliminates director

Gaffigan's stand-up act well-received by Milwaukee crowd
Jim Gaffigan didn't have the fortune of being born here, but the native Hoosier did the next best thing and married someone who was.
Milwaukee is sort of a second home for the New York-based stand-up comic, not simply because of his family connections or because he's played annual year-end shows at the Pabst Theater since 2007. His style of stand-up - clean, soft-spoken, often deadpan, obsessive about food - seems tailor-made for Midwestern sensibilities. »Read Full Article(2)

This tea is very smooth and flavorful, but light at the same time. I thought I wouldnt like the combination of green tea and ginger, but all of the flavors of the tea are well balanced and nothing is overpowering. The only problem with this tea is that I want to drink it all the time!

I can't separate this story in my head from Mark Zuckerberg's Year Of Killing Everything He Eats.
Nope. Nothing could go wrong. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
So… what could go wrong? I'm asking in all seriousnes, I'm apparently not thinking hard enough… or something… because I cannot come up with anything.
I'm also curious as to what can go wrong. Not being chippy, just legitimately curious what the potential disaster is here.
Coercing people – bad. Encouraging people – good. As a friend of someone looking for a kidney, I think it's a great idea to put it out there. If you're not looking to donate, then stay away from it. If you are, then go for it! Save a life!
What's the problem here, exactly? Is it just that facebook's doing it, so it must be evil?
You can have my organs when you pry them from my cold, dead … oh, yeah.
I thought the addendum, "along with birth dates and school" was added for some sort of dramatic emphasis, like saying "along with waist measurements and Social Security numbers". I was taken aback to read the line in the NYTimes "Facebook to start advertising their donor status on their pages, along with their birth dates and schools."
First things first; stop sharing your birthdays, everyone. Second, consider for a moment that your organs are an integral part of your medical portfolio.
Third, what about stem cells? To fight leukemia. That's for an important cause too, isn't it? How come you're not talking about stem cells, Facebook? Huh?
Facebook your one stop shop for organ harvesting.
I can see it now….
*screen shimmers*
Somewhere an evil man is checking Facebook looking to find an organ for a 1%er who will pay handsomely… Right blood type – check, no photos of drug use like the last 5 possible matches, a quick message send telling them they won a free trip to Vegas, then a spiked drink and into the bathtub full of ice.
*screen shimmers*
You might think I'm a tinfoil hat wearing person, but count up the sheer number of cases of people doing stupid crap because of a link or message on Facebook.
Want to comprise 1000's of computers? Send out a blast on Facebook about a new secret video of Beiber doing something on random website… comedy ensues.
Want to have fun, invent a man on Facebook and find the girl of his dreams and play her hard. Get her to send you money.
Keep filling in the blanks till your properly scared.
1. You can make your Facebook profile, or any part of it private. Facebook even shows you how to limit your organ donor status to family only.
2. If your family are looking at your profile to assess you for organ harvesting, you have bigger problems.3. Your blood type is not listed on your Facebook profile.4. Your blood type is not enough to ensure donor compatibility anyway, you need to do tissue typing.But let's not let facts get in the way of some good old fashioned FUD spreading…
Because the imaginings of someone on the interwebs presented in a comical fashion should TOTES be taken seriously…
And your profile can be private until Facebook updates its terms again and resets you to default, allowing you do go diving in the the depths of menus looking for the right options to have privacy again.
An enterprising person need only create a Facebook game offering a virtual item to get people to cough up their blood type.
However I stand by my statements of a majority of FB users being not so smart about questioning links and things sent to them. Today there are still people railing against the AbortionPlex.
Um. You don't need to be an organ donar to be lured into Las Vegas and have your drink spiked and your kidneys removed…
What on Earth does being an organ donar have to do with your scenario? Except, I guess, that the profile is advertising that the owner does indeed have at least one organ somewhere in their bodies.
Please allow a brief edit: … count up the sheer number of cases of people doing stupid crap with or w/o Faceboo, a lot of bridges – er, organs can be been sold.
I am not sure why you're attacking this with so much jade and irony. If you're a registered donor, it's something you can show to other friends to encourage them as well; also, it's easier to find people for donations using electronic media. Startups that will help you find blood donors are applauded and winning awards (LifeCircle+ is one example), but Facebook will surely kill us all? Come on.
And the headline is just offensive.
I'm disappointed in this article- I read boingboing every day and love when you guys feature advances in science and health. I agree with the prior commenter that the headline is offensive although I realize it was lifted from the NYT article. The statement that the goal of this facebook addition is to "create peer pressure" in order to register more donors is one made by the NYT, not by anyone involved with the campaign. In truth the goal of the facebook campaign is more likely to get a dialogue started. I speak with grieving families about the opportunity for organ donation (and it is an opportunity- to get something positive out of a senseless death, for a legacy, and even in a way a chance for a loved one to live on) and when a family says no (which is certainly their right to do) they most often cite not knowing their loves one's wishes as the reason. Not "he never wanted to be a donor" but rather "i don't know if he would want this and I don't want to decide it for him." Registering as a donor, and talking about it with your family, can save them additional grief at the worst time in their life. And studies have shown that the majority of those who decline donation due to not knowing what their loved one wanted also regret not having made the decision to donate later. I think the facebook initiative is a great one not only for those waiting, but for the families of donors. If you're concerned about facebook having the information then don't put it on facebook, but at least put it on your license and talk to your family. The only way an organ procurement organization will know your donor status is through an official registry.
"Absolutely nothing could go wrong"
Are you implying that something could/will go wrong? Do you have any knowledge of the topic, because it sounds like you're being dismissive of something small that could make a difference in lots of people's lives.
The biggest issue with organ donation is awareness and getting people talking about it. This is something that people will see on your profile and perhaps talk to you about, as well as consider for themselves. Family will know your wishes. And importantly, when you add it to your profile, it gives you a link to a local registry where you can take the action required to make it official.
Xeni, I've found some of your cancer-related posts informative and enlightening. I've also had cancer, and been the recipient of an organ donor, and it completely blows my mind that you'd apparently be so dismissive of this.
Maybe I should reactivate my FB account just to play a nasty practical joke on some random stranger down the pike: donate my liver!
But seriously, a company that has shown an unscrupulous disinterest in the privacy of its' users (for they are NOT the clients), a great number of its' users blissfully unaware of their lack of privacy, the impulsive natures and the herd dynamics that occur… could do some good, while somebody could get hurt.
What do you think could go wrong with this, Xeni?
Where I live, you need to register to *not* be an organ donor.
When I first saw this article I imagined a Facebook game where you had to kidnap and steal organs from your friends. (I think this was also an Invader Zim episode.)
Makes me wish I knew how to write Facebook games. You could create something pretty funny and twisted before it hit the news and got banned. ("Think of the Children and their nice juicy organs!")
Sounds like a great idea to me. Not enough people know that they need to make their wishes to be an organ donor clear: once you're dead it's too late to say anything.
The US and the world at large has a huge shortage of donated organs, because not enough people know to become donors. Why are you snarky about this Xeni?
So … organ donation can save lives, and there's no serious objection to this, but let's discourage people anyway because, hey, making fun of Facebook is fun? That's some messed up priorities.

To Sext or not to Sext
Posted August 11th, 2013 @ 7:25pm
When New York politician Anthony Weiner was caught sexting behind his wife's back for the second time (he sent dirty texts to Sydney Leathers using the nickname Carlos Danger, and no, we're not making this up) we thought: there goes a man who needs a good sext guide.
Sexting is a practice you tend to hear about usually when celebrities, politicians or sports personalities get it horribly wrong, and usually when the other person has revealed all.
But we're not so far removed from famous folk that the rules of sexting don't apply to us too. After all, most of us have phones which a)can text and b)take photos.

Vt Health Department says whooping cough downFebruary 27,2013
BURLINGTON The number of whooping cough cases in Vermont has dropped in half since a vaccination and public information campaign was launched in December, the state Health Department said Tuesday.
Last year the state reported a record number of 645 cases of whooping cough, a number the state considered an epidemic.
On Dec. 19, the Health Department sponsored a special vaccination day to immunize people. Since then, hundreds more Vermonters have gotten shots.
Whooping cough is a highly infectious bacterial disease that is most serious for babies too young to be fully vaccinated. Its name comes from the sound children make as they gasp for breath.
Last year at this time 89 whooping cough cases had been reported in Vermont, while so far this year there have been 42.
We cant declare the end of this outbreak, but were thankful that Vermonters responded as they did to slow the spread of illness, said Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen. Cases spiked at the end of the year and have steadily decreased since then.
Preliminary government figures showed in January that the country had suffered its worst year for whooping cough in nearly six decades.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON Gov.

Real Madrid started their 2014-15 La Liga campaign in strong fashion, recording a 2-0 win over Cordoba. Karim Benzema opened the score in the 30th minute before the inevitable Cristiano Ronaldo iced the match with a long-range beauty in extra time.
Bleacher Report UK has the Vine:
Cristiano Ronaldo scored from distance in his 250th appearance for Real Madrid: https://t.co/JUE1vqoKOM— Bleacher Report UK (@br_uk) August 25, 2014
Questions surrounding the Portuguese superstar's health dominated the headlines during the summer, but on Monday, Ronaldo had little difficulty answering them.
Playing in his 250th match for Los Blancos, the forward did what he always does—score. As shared by BeIN Sport's Kay Murray, his scoring record truly is phenomenal:
Cristiano Ronaldo: 255 goals in 250 games for Real Madrid.— Kay Murray (@KayLMurray) August 25, 2014
OptaJose shared this little fact, evidence of his tremendous leg strength:
30 - Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more goals from outside the area than any other player in La Liga since the 2009/10 season. Missile.— OptaJose (@OptaJose) August 25, 2014
Cordoba were playing their first match in La Liga, as shared by Infostrada, and they immediately got a taste of what to expect. Ronaldo feasts on inexperienced sides:
This was Ronaldo's 31st goal against promoted clubs in La Liga, 1 more than Messi in the same period (since 2009-10).— Infostrada Sports (@InfostradaLive) August 25, 2014
Author Sid Lowe was very impressed with the goal:
Blimey. Ronaldo scores a belter. Honestly, seemed daft place to take the shot on from, long way out. But, boom, golazo!— Sid Lowe (@sidlowe) August 25, 2014
The winger hadn't had his best outing up until that point, which can be partly explained by his lack of consistent minutes in pre-season, per ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan:
Ronaldo not firing understandable given fitness etc but surprised Bale not more involved. He was supposed to fire after proper pre-season.— Dermot Corrigan (@dermotmcorrigan) August 25, 2014
Ronaldo returned from the 2014 World Cup still struggling with the same injury that hampered him during the dying stages of the 2013-14 season, and Los Blancos took a very cautious approach getting him back to the pitch.
His consistent scoring is instrumental to Carlo Ancelotti's squad, and re-aggravating said injury would have been a disaster. It likely led to a lack of depth in his performance against Cordoba, but as a forward, you're mainly judged on your scoring output.
As shared by ESPN Stats & Info, that record is exemplary:
.@Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Córdoba. He's now scored in 11 straight home league games— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) August 25, 2014
Corrigan also was forced to eat his words:
That'll do it - Ronaldo takes out frustration by hammering to net low from 25 yards.— Dermot Corrigan (@dermotmcorrigan) August 25, 2014
Los Blancos hardly dominated the newly promoted side, but starting the new season with three points is all that matters right now. Plenty of new signings are still looking for their spot on the pitch and building chemistry with the regulars, and it will take time for this team to grow.
Consistent scorers like Ronaldo and Benzema can ensure the club keeps winning while the likes of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos find their way, and on Monday, they did just that.
If Ronaldo's long-range screamer is any indication, his health will be just fine as Los Blancos prepare their Champions League title defence.

It's worth keeping in mind that that this is an estimate of what we might be able to lend you. The final sum takes some other factors into consideration too.

Please just be aware that when you use the repayments calculator, the price of the property, minus the amount of deposit shouldn't be any more than the amount you're borrowing.

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

It's a beautifully rendered tribute that also channels the core message in what Pickering rightly calls "the greatest secular fable of human redemption ever written": our ability to change and grow, playing many roles and living multiple lives, if we can but open our hearts to the love and dedication of those many people challenging us to be our best selves. »Read Full Article

Syndergaard on way back to NYC to see doctor about a "mild flexor-pronator strain"

Syndergaard on way back to NYC to see doctor about a "mild flexor-pronator strain"
... As if things couldn't get worse for the Mets.
|Sponsored Links
Michael Baron @michaelgbaron Noah to DL with flexor pronator strain. Coming to New York for tests #mets
Strasburg had the same injury in 2011, and he had TJ. See you in 2016, Syndergaard.
The path to TJ has begun for Thor.
Don't worry. He's got this.
BTW this explains his velocity dip, and his mechanics looked poor a few starts ago. This means we're going to be seeing a ton of deGrom and Montero the rest of the season. This is why you accumulate depth in pitching. This is also why you want some young bats to build around because it's tough to rely on arms alone.
You can basically forget about trading for any big bats at this point. Without Harvey and Thor to count on, and with Wheeler still looking to get settled, none of these arms seem expendable now.
Don't worry. He's got this.
|Sponsored Links
Is he gonna rehab in vegas? Lol
Agreed and agreed Sick.
But many of us knew that and have been saying so for a while. The TJ epidemic is ridiculous right now and you just can't bank on having "enough pitching" to overcome hitting deficiencies.
Don't worry. He's got this.
in all honesty it's a bit disgusting that the Mets can never catch a break
Thus ends the short lives career of Syndegard.
"It's not enough that I succeed, others should fail."
Could be similar to the injury Lee and Sale both had and they didn't need TJ surgery. Let's find out what the MRI says first.According to Will Carroll, Syndergaards injury is similar (Carroll said its a vague comparison and that any strain means damage) to the injuries that were recently sustained by both Chris Sale and Cliff Lee.
In Sales case, he was diagnosed April 24 and returned to big league action on May 22 certainly an indication that Syndergaards injury while scary as hell may be relatively minor.
For the sake of Syndergaard, the Mets, and the fans, lets hope Syndergaards MRI results are positive.
or it could be josh Johnson and Strasburg.. knowing the Mets it'll be the latter

Care Improvement Plus Medicare Advantage Polk County, MO Medicare Advantage Plan
Care Improvement Plus Medicare Advantage, a Polk County, Missouri Medicare Advantage plan from Care Improvement Plus, is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) option for people with Medicare. PPO health insurance allows you to choose your own primary care doctor, specialists and other healthcare providers. If you're on a budget you can lower your out-of-pocket costs by using the plan's provider network.
The monthly premium on this PPO plan is $29.00. Plus, co-payments and/or co-insurances also apply to most of the healthcare services you use. However, unlike original Medicare your out-of-pocket expenses are capped. As a result, you won't be vulnerable to excessive medical bills due to an accident or a critical illness.
Quality Rating
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reviews and rates the quality of all plans. The 1 (worst) to 5 (best) star ratings assist people considering plans and offer an unbiased measure of quality.
The CMS has awarded Care Improvement Plus Medicare Advantage Below Average as compared to all others (as of 15 October, 2014).out of 5 stars. That means Medicare deems this plan
Out-of-Pocket Expenses
By law, Medicare Advantage plans have an out-of-pocket limit of $6,700 per year. That said, plans can offer an out-of-pocket maximum as low as $3,400 per year. This plan's out-of-pocket spending limit is $6,700 per year. This amount is not inclusive of your monthly premium or the cost of your prescriptions. It's only what you pay when you receive heathcare services.
What this means to you is that you will no longer make co-payments or co-insurance payments when your out-of-pocket spending reaches $6,700. This is your safety net in the event of a critical illness or a serious accident. It protects you from serious financial liability and it should be carefully considered along with the premium and the co-payments.When comparing Care Improvement Plus Medicare Advantage with original Medicare benefits, don't forget that you pay about twenty percent of all healthcare expenses covered by Part A and Part B, but there is no out-of-pocket limit. In other words, you have a lot of risk unless you get a Medigap policy to cover the gaps.
Compare Plans
Make sure you get the best health insurance for your unique situation. Compare Care Improvement Plus Medicare Advantage with these Medicare plans:
- Coventry Advantage

So, we've been set on Aubrey for a while now, and all of a sudden, DH comes home today and says, "You're going to hate me." I'm thinking he did something back, but all he said is, "I want to name the baby Payton if it's a girl." WHAT?!? When I was pregnant with Addison, DH said I could choose the girl name, so I chose Payton Lynn. After our u/s, when he realized it was a girl, he freaked out. He said he hated the name and couldn't see our daughter with that name. So now, all of a sudden, he loves the name Payton? I could seriously kick his behind!
I don't love Payton anymore, and now I'm torn. I could seriously beat him!!

Bob Arum on How Cotto Rebounded From Pacquiao Loss
by David P. Greisman
Bob Arum of Top Rank, promoter of Miguel Cotto, was asked after Cotto-Margarito 2 about how Cotto was able to have such success rebounding from his loss two years ago to Manny Pacquiao.
"Because he lost to Pacquiao. That's no disgrace," Arum said. "The first four rounds with Manny, if you remember, were touch and go, and then Manny overwhelmed him with his speed. So he lost the fight. That didn't mean the end of Miguel Cotto.
"Obviously he's a very good fighter, and so we gave him a big fight in Yankees Stadium with Yuri Foreman, and then he fought Mayorga on a very successful pay-per-view, and now Margarito. I didn't do anything to build him back up. We just provided him with the type of fights that were appropriate.
"There were three knockouts, but he had plenty of knockouts before. He's a terrific fighter. He's really one of the top fighters of this era. Make no mistake about it — I think he's a sure shot to be a Hall of Famer one day."

Democrats Pin Hopes on Ousting GOP Governors
Democrats know they're not likely to win back the House this fall. They are steeling themselves for a loss of Senate seats while hoping to hang on to a majority.
But in governors' races, Democrats are on offense – believing they'll be in better shape come January than they are now.

- Conservative Club for Growth Names New Chief After 2014 Setbacks
- Hedge Fund Founder Steve Cohen Gave Big to Boost Republican Governors
Just like Democrats picked up a large number of Senate seats in 2008 that the party has to defend this year, Republicans won a large number of governors' races during the big tea party wave of 2010. This year, the GOP has to defend those seats, including a number in swing states and Democratic-leaning states.
So, Democrats are hoping to defeat Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who won office in Maine with a mere 38% of the vote four years ago, thanks largely to an independent candidate who splintered the vote.
Mr. LePage is at the top of both parties' lists of most-endangered GOP governors, along with Govs. Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania and Rick Scott of Florida. Polling suggests that Messrs. Corbett and Scott face tough re-election races, and Democrats are likely to aim resources at both states.
The Democrats' second tier of targets includes a trio of Midwestern governors – Wisconsin's Scott Walker, Michigan's Rick Snyder and Ohio's John Kasich – each of whom has enacted Republican policies in states that twice voted for Barack Obama.
Democrats are also, for now at least, making longshot efforts in Georgia, South Carolina, Kansas and Arizona. Overall, Republicans now control 29 of 50 governor's mansions.
The Journal's Peter Nicholas writes today about Wisconsin and former bicycle-company executive Mary Burke's campaign to oust Gov. Mr. Walker. Ms. Burke's effort is squarely in the second tier of Democratic gubernatorial races, but she is symbolic of this year's Democratic hopes.
The Democrats' optimism is rooted in the fact that Mr. Obama won Wisconsin – and the other five states where they are fighting hardest – in 2012 by highlighting GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's views on women's health issues, such as his pledge to defund Planned Parenthood. Messrs. Walker and Kasich, Democrats argue, have already implemented essentially what Romney said he would do during the last campaigns in those states.
Ms. Burke, as Mr. Nicholas writes, is steering clear of the toxic labor wars that marked Mr. Walker's first term. Instead she is trying to define herself as a pro-business Democrat while attacking Mr. Walker on social issues and his failure to create the 250,000 jobs he promised when first running for governor four years ago. Mr. Walker responds that the unemployment rate has fallen in Wisconsin during his tenure and that the vast majority of people in the state are now better off.
Republicans privately acknowledge their governors are in trouble in Florida, Pennsylvania and Maine. But in pointing to their strengths, they cite GOP governors in Iowa, New Mexico and Nevada – three states Mr. Obama also won twice – who are running this year with token Democratic opposition.
Republicans say they have a chance to defeat Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in Illinois, and that potential wins in Arkansas and Connecticut would balance any potential losses elsewhere.
One factor helping the GOP: The Republican Governors Association – led by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a would-be 2016 presidential candidate himself – has nearly doubled the DGA in the latest fundraising figures.
"It is no shock we are victims of our own success," said RGA spokesman Jon Thompson. "As a focused committee that continues to win, we are well prepared with strong resources to defend GOP governors who are cutting taxes, balancing budgets, ending wasteful spending and promoting pro-growth, pro-jobs policies."
Democrats say that voters will reject those very policies. "Republican governors across the country are cutting taxes for the wealthiest at the expense of the middle class, attacking women's rights'' and "gutting investments in education,'' said Democratic Governors Association spokesman Danny Kanner.
