Montas announces tax reform to raise RD$140 billion
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Jun 1 2012 14:59PM
- The Minister of Economy, Planning and Development Temistocles Montas revealed on Wednesday, 30 May, what most people just about knew was coming: a huge tax reform aimed at raising an extra RD$140 billion in 2013, nearly 40% of the budget, to service the government debt. Yes, the piper must be paid. Montas said this would be discussed between August and December. The increase in taxation would then be available for the 2013 National Budget. Montas said that part of the RD$140 billion would be used to fulfill the commitment made by President-elect Danilo Medina to assign 4% of the GDP to education. Coalicion para una Educacion Digna, the group that campaigned for the government to increase spending on education, has said if the government reduced wasteful spending, funds would be available for education without increasing taxes. Montas says, however, that the new taxes will pay for the increase. As quoted in El Nuevo Diario, Montas said that money alone would not raise the quality of education in the country. He also noted that an integrated tax reform would have the special feature of discussing the quality of government expenditure, what he called "a redesign of public spending. " Read original at

Heart disease found in ancient mummies
Heart disease is commonly thought to be a modern ailment, but evidence from ancient mummies suggests humans have had heart problems for thousands of years.
Randall Thompson at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and colleagues analyzed CAT scans of 137 mummies from ancient Egypt, Peru, Utah and the Aleutian Islands in the north Pacific Ocean. The mummies represent human populations dating from 3,000 B.C. to the 20th century.
A significant cross-section of mummies, from all cultures and time frames, had calcified plaque in artery walls – most frequently the aorta but also in the neck's carotid artery – hinting at atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart attacks.
New endoscope is thin as a human hair
As thin as a human hair and with a resolution four times that of similar devices, the world's slimmest endoscope could soon visualize the parts other scopes cannot reach.
Endoscopes are used to look inside the body, and usually consist of a bundle of fibers that transmit light and images. Joseph Kahn at Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif., and colleagues have created one out of just a single optical fiber. Usually, single fibers scramble the light signal, so the team developed an algorithm to reconstruct images.
Currently, the prototype can show objects 2.5 micrometers in size – a third of the diameter of a red blood cell – but the team believes it will be able to improve the resolution to 0.3 micrometers.
The endoscope could be used to observe brain activity in minute detail or to detect cancer cells, according to Optics Express.
"Just as the telecoms industry has devised ways to squeeze more information content through optical fibers, this team has done the same for medical endoscopy," said Stephen Boppart of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Love it!

I just ordered this pen on 4/25/13 and it arrived today (4/29/13). I am not only pleasantly surprised at how quickly the pen arrived, but the pen is beautiful. It fits nicely in my hand, it's not too heavy, and the colors are absolutely stunning. It's a good thing I got in engraved, since I suspect there will several people at work who will want to "borrow" my pen! I wouldn't hesitate at all to buy one of these. I can't wait to get another one! :-)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this pen. The color is lovely with the new summer color Caribbean. However, I find as I print, the cap on the ball point twists close and the point retracts as I write. I have to stop and twist the cap to open so the point appears again. I have had many fine twist cap ball point pens and have never experienced this before. The twist cap doesn't have much resistance to it to keep in the open position.
Merchant response: Thank you for your review. I am sorry about your ballpoint issue. I will contact you via phone so we can rectify this issue.
I always have this pen with me!

I am a pen lover, and I received this as a Christmas gift. I love it and carry it between home and work every day so I always have it with me.The design is lovely, I love the purples. It has just the right weight in my hand.

Ordered this and some Circa refills. Typical boring Levenger service-you order, and your products show up 3-4 days later. The pen was back ordered and showed up 2 days later, and was it ever worth the wait!Fits my hand like a glove, quality fit, finish & function. The cartridge seems ALMOST as smooth as my rollerball.Now to get the Kyoto and Sea Glass!

Residents want relief from unbearable odors
June 12, 2013
A group of Nippenose Township residents made it clear Tuesday night that they want relief from what they said are unbearable odors and unliveable conditions while animal waste is being spread in......
Well billybob there are hundreds of residents that will tell you your wrong. The stench is about the same as having a rotting opossum under your porch.

Its pretty bad when the "Gut Wagon" passes you going the other way and you can smell it!
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Premier for your information I can see this operation from the house I've lived in for 40+ years and I dislike Mr. Bowes for several reasons. However what you say is all lies the smell is not bad and better than any manure.
0 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Erik, do you have a copy of the township ordinance? Have you read it? There is a line that talks about "normal farm operations".
This is not that or even close to it, they tried spreading this in Sugar Valley where it originates but was shut down. I've done exclusive internet research on this process and have found them doing this nowhere else in the country. Stuff from a slaughterhouse that is not sent to a rendering plant are sent to wastewater treatment plants not spread on fields.

Again before commenting on this you must come to the area affected and get a whiff of this gross smell, until then you have no idea what your talking about!!!!
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Billybob, you also don't know what you talking about. THIS IS NO PIG MANURE AND IT IS NOT COW MANURE WITH A "LITTLE BLOOD".
To say what you have Billybob means that you are related to or work for Bowes and your being paid for you comment.
When Snook's pig farm spread their manure in the township on the hottest day in the summer you heard not a word from the residents as this was a farm smell and part of country living.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Erik you do not live here, you do not have to smell this, your comment means NOTHING!
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This is not blood and guts like they say. It is watered down manure and a little blood. Consider the alternatives if they spread liquid pig manure every day it will smell way worse and that is essentially unregulated. The wells in that area are historically contaminated by their own septic systems. If you don't like the country smell you may move.
1 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Sorry. If the farm was there firs, the residents have no case.
I doubt the smell lasts for more than 24 hours.
This sounds like complaining for no purpose.

want relief, Move out of the country!! geesh.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
That investigation revealed that the animal waste from farmlands collected in a drainage area and pipe under Nippenose Road and that the spreading took place within 100 feet of a stream. The investigation also showed that the waste was spread on fields that were not included in any nutrient management plan, which neither Bowes or Nicholas Meat Packing said they were aware.
The inspection report notes that waste was spread "without a permit since best management practices were not followed."
Several complaints were reported to DEP on April 27, according to the Right to Know documents, including one person who said he was having respiratory issues and having trouble breathing because of the stench. Another person reported that her well water was contaminated with surfactants and coliform bacteria from the spreading. Do the family members still think this is funny?
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This is part of the article in the newspaper today, if this were pipeliners you can bet the operation would be shut down. This IS NOT MANURE!!!!The Sun-Gazette subsequently sought records from DEP through a Right to Know request on April 10. Information such as the number of investigations, results of investigations and information on fines, warnings or corrective actions issued.
DEP invoked its right to review the request longer than the standard five business days - taking a full month - citing legal reasons and additional time necessary to provide the information.
The information provided shows there have been additional citizen complaints since late January. From the provided documents, complaints were on file as early as Oct. 20, 2011.
DEP documents also show that Solid Waste Management Act violations concerning "improper management of food processing waste" were recorded for both Bowes and Nicholas Meat
This is a biological byproduct from slaughtering cattle!

Moonlighter: "I will take "fresh country air" over that anyday!!!!"
If I had a way to bottle some of this "fresh county air" I'd give you some to use as an air freshener at home. It would be a great way to keep those pesky in-laws away during the holidays.
We'll call it Summertime slaughterhouse Musk.

"I worked for 4 months in Antes Fort and the stench is unbearable. So before you make fun of the people who live there; take a short detour off of 44 and smell it for yourself. Guarantee you'll never want to move there." - dagger23
So....what's the (estimated) body-count, before the stench dissipates, this year?
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I like the comments "What was here first; the farm or the houses". Nothing wrong with farming, Im all for it, but this isnt right. I worked for 4 months in Antes Fort and the stench is unbearable. So before you make fun of the people who live there; take a short detour off of 44 and smell it for yourself. Guarantee you'll never want to move there.

You are correct in your assessment Premier! There certainly is a big difference between slaughterhouse waste and manure. The unidentified man was county zoning officer David Hines.

2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Premier, I totally agree with you...this is not manure being spread on the fields and manure never ruined water wells of the people living around the farm fields. And as for most of you who commented but have no idea what you are talking about, most of the comments in the newspaper came from people who have lived in this area for years and years, not people who moved in from the city, so lets get your facts straight or don't comment.

I'll go you one better, go to the farm, go down wind of the tank then come back here and post your pro farm comment as I know none of you know what this smells like.

Hey people, I live about 500 yards from this farm. I'll invite any of you to come and inhale some of the most horrific stench you have ever experienced. I've worked on farms and this goes beyond what any resident should have to endure. This IS NOT A NORMAL FARMING OPERATION. This is not a normal farm smell. What they are spreading is waste bi-product from a slaughterhouse.
It's all about money and ruining the quality of life here in the township.

As the great learned teacher Mr. Kimble said in Kindergarten Cop: "Stop whining!"

If you don't like it leave. The farmers are doing a job most people in America refuse to do and they make very little off doing it. I have nothing but the most respect possible for our local farmers. I grew up in the country and have always found it very fustrating for city or town folk to move out to the country and expect it to be like the city/town they came from. No one is keeping you from making a living doing your job but then you want to try to prevent the farmers from doing his job. You wouldn't last 1 week doing the job of this farmer. You all need to stop whining about him doing his job and if you don't like the smell leave. That smell is the smell of good old country air and if you want food to eat it is a small price to pay. He is doing nothing wrong and DEP has approved it.

Vessel's goal for sustainable design is to "eliminate negative environmental impact completely through sensitive design." For example, unlike a non-recyclable plastic or fiberglass container made of chemical polymers and epoxy resins, Vessel's containers are skillfully made with clay, water, and fire. 100% recyclable. Plants love them too!
The unglazed finish option for this planter will acquire a natural patina which becomes increasingly handsome with age. For outdoor use, a drain hole may be drilled to maintain proper drainage. Ceramic containers should never be subject to freezing water temperatures.

Motorola DROID X vs. Apple iPhone 4
We commended the original DROID for performing valiantly in calling quality, but thankfully, the performance on the DROID X doesn't disappoint either. Voices were crystal clear and extremely audible thanks to its versatile and powerful speaker that enables even the lowest toned voices to become exquisitely noticeable. We can't say the same with the iPhone 4 due mostly to some background and static noise which can become somewhat of a nuisance for some. Nevertheless, it's not to the point where you can't make out conversations, but there's no arguing that the Motorola DROID X just made the calling experience such a joy. At the same time, the same can be said about the speaker phone performance on the DROID X as it was stronger than the iPhone 4.
During our time testing out both handsets, we consistently found the DROID X to have a solid connection to the network over the iPhone 4. At certain times, we would see bars on the iPhone 4 fluctuate while surfing the web – which is somewhat disheartening when you're trying to do something.
Naturally one can always get the most optimal battery usage by fine tuning their handsets – like setting the brightness of the display to its lowest or having the handset check for email every few hours. As we set both handsets to the middle brightness setting, we used them normally and didn't modify anything else. The iPhone 4 ever so slightly edged out the Motorola DROID X during our simultaneous testing, but we were still nonetheless impressed with the DROID X as it was able to last a solid day before requiring a recharge. Again, it could have gotten more out of it by constantly monitoring certain features like GPS, running applications in the background, and push email.
Presently, there are plenty of devices out there that attempt to challenge the iPhone 4 in the smartphone market. Yet, we continue to see a common theme with each comparison we do with Apple's venerable handset – it proves to be a well rounded device that doesn't skimp out on performance. To the iPhone 4's credit, it continually rises to the occasion and beats out handsets in the camera department – even though others employ higher megapixel cameras. It's by far the easiest phone to learn at a first glance which is embedded deeply in the foundations that were present from its humble beginnings. Despite lacking a depth of personalization, iOS 4 slowly compliments the handset's user interface experience as it continuously showcases its overall responsiveness and intuitiveness. Plus, it's one of the few existing handsets out there that offer a decent video calling experience with FaceTime which will hopefully one day break free from Wi-Fi only usage. All in all, there is an aura that radiates outward from every nook and cranny that still manages to enthrall consumers out there.
Just like the original Motorola DROID, the DROID X is presented as one of the smartphones to challenge the might of Apple's iPhone by attacking some key areas where the iPhone has been unable to capture. From a design standpoint, we have to give credit to Motorola for being able to craft a sleek looking handset that doesn't necessarily feel like a juggernaut when it comes down to sheer size. Naturally it relies on its sheer display to attract consumers seeing that it's the sole differentiator from a first glance. However, we're content with its performance under the hood as it includes a myriad of respectable hardware that enables it to stand toe-to-toe with other contemporary offerings. Being powered by Android has its clear advantages and the DROID X tastefully manages to pretty it up with its own customized experience. However, this isn't the first encounter we've had with a monster sized Android handset. By no means should this be overlooked by Verizon customers, or any Android users as a matter of fact, but the Motorola DROID X is yet another healthy offering that substantiates Android's growing popularity among people.
As most of the cases (but particularly in this one), which handset will better suit you depends entirely on your specific needs and preferences.

4. RonRex (Posts: 3; Member since: 04 Jun 2010)
Maybe the X is coming after the IPad? It may seem large, but it is maybe a way for Att users to see even though Verizon does not have the Iphone, they do have a very viable option on a much better network?

You have the audacity to call this a review and not once do you mention the iPhone's purported issues regarding antenna performance. Not once. What you failed to mention are a multitude of reports suggesting the iPhone 4 has a faulty antenna design and how this might relate to the significant drop in signal caused by capacitive interference (human touch) at the junction between the two antennas that comprise its antenna system. Although the external antenna system used in the iPhone 4 may be prone to said interference, it is the particular design whereby this gap or junction is in close proximity to the heaviest part of the left palm during normal use. Some test have shown this to result in a -24dB drop in signal strength (http://www.anandtech.com/show/
3794/the-iphone-4-review/2). In my opinion, this capacitive interference couples the antenna system thereby detuning the 2G/3G portion. In parallel, energy is also lost into the hand given the proximity of the EXTERNAL antenna system during normal use (gripping by hand) If you happen to live in an area where the signal strength is less than -94dB and you then hold the phone normally in the left hand, the call can be dropped as the signal drops below -113dB. This was reported by Anandtech, which observed a -20dB impact due to hand interference [-24dB when held tightly]. Whether -94dB resides within the fourth bar (currently) or is "programmed" down to the 3rd (or 2nd or even 1st) bar is a moot point. The only likely way around this for the iPhone 4, IMO, is with the rubber case/bumper. This serves to further separate the hand from the phone during normal use. Just my opinion.

Not once did you mention that Apple held a conference and showed that only .5% of the users called in or had it reported in. That is probably all the users that had it to. Not once did you mention that the problem can be easily handled by slipping a case on the phone. Not once did you mention you can send the phone back to Apple, get another for free and get a case for free. Not once did you mention that most of the owners of an iPhone 4 don't experience this problem, only the people searching for it and even those that do don't experience most of the time.

The Droid x shoots video at 30 fps not 23 fps. Specs at motorola.com

products/droidx/At HD 1280x720 the DROID X records at 24fps. You have to drop it down to 720x480 resolution to record at 30fps.

-Funny how you can do flash, swype keyboard, hd recording, hdmi output.. but none of those things are seen as a benefit. -But every review some moron talks about a front facing camera that is probably never used... and needs WIFI. -And as above stated no mention of the fact that iphone has faulty antenna and signal glitches. -Also no benefit in how much larger the screen is on the DROIDX. -No benefit in the double microphone noise cancellation setup that works flawlessly on the DROIDX. *Phone arena, keeping the trendy trendy, and the uneducated making ignorant decisions since the orig iphone.

Just like most other phone bloggers PA is afraid to go against "common wisdom" and report the truth.
33. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
You guys are babies. Flash is not available until 2.2 and swype is not going to be a dealbreaker for anyone. HD recording is better on iPhone, and HDMI was mentioned in the review. Maybe it's just me but I didn't know that the iphone could do hdmi with proprietary cable. And in the end, I still don't care about HDMI. -FaceTime is only available on wifi but fring can be used on 3G. -they did mention many benefits of having a larger screen (did you even read the review or watch the video?) -the iphone has noise cancellation also -How many times do you guys have to read about the issues. It's been on every phone website, on the front page of websites like Yahoo/MSN, newspapers, TV, etc. On the HTC Evo review I don't remember there being talks about the light leakage issue. You guys just cry and cry and cry. If you look in other websites, I'm pretty sure the review is going to be almost the same. I guess every phone website just freaking hates the Droid X, right? Haha
34. BlackSirius16 (Posts: 84; Member since: 21 May 2010)
really? thats funny, I found much better reviews on youtube, and as for the light leakage issue on the evo, are your fucking seriously comparing that the the grip of death on the iPhone 4? holy shit omg I'm sure that when people got their brand new evo they started screaming, "Oh god jesus in heaven, theirs a small amount of light from the buttons leaking onto the bottom of my screen, its really a fucking deal breaker" holy smokey cinimon shit I;ve never heard something more stupid in my entire life christ your stupid. and as for flash, whens your iPhone gunna get it? yeah thought so retard. And I'd say that the hd recording on the iPhone has slightly better color capture but thats it, while the audio is so superior that its unbelievable. go fuck yourself fanboy troll bitch
38. Mightymack (Posts: 74; Member since: 16 Jul 2010)
i dont think that i can agree any more strongly! front facing camera is not all that! and if it is, then the evo can definatly beat the iphone!

Wow why do people visit this site if they hate it so much? I think the real question is rather or not the iphone is worth leaving Verizon for. At&t is just such a juxtaposition to apples core philosophy. Apple strives to be innovative and proactive in solving customer issues and relations, where as At&t is exactly the opposite. If you've ever had to deal with an at&t customer service rep you know that most of them are incompetent morons. The iphone is a great device, but it is limited by a sub par carrier who is only interested in making money and not furthering their customers experience.

"Apple strives to be innovative and proactive in solving customer issues and relations, where as At&t is exactly the opposite." SJ - "There is no reception issue. Hold your phone correctly." Need I say more? Both Apple and At&t apparently do not do a very good job when it comes to CS.

I must say I'm disappointed with the analysis of the on screen keyboard. Why is the image of the iPhone keyboard LARGER than the image of the DROID X keyboard when the iPhone clearly has a much smaller display. You're making it look like screen real estate is less of a differentiator. Take a few side-by-side photographs of the keyboard and post them rather then the doctored up screen captures you're misleading everyone with!
18. PhoneArena Team (Posts: 258; Member since: 27 Jun 2006)
The size of the screenshots depends on the screen resolution, not the physical dimensions of the display. Motorola DROID X = 4.3" but 480x800 pixels resolution; Apple iPhone 4 = 3.5" but 640x960 pixels resolution, thus the image comes out larger once you view it on a computer.
20. narley (Posts: 357; Member since: 14 May 2009)
so back up a foot and take a picture of both phones physically as well as the QWERTY... because of you couldnt tell, in this comparison, size does matter.
24. sgtslayer321 (Posts: 36; Member since: 01 Oct 2009)
Actually the droid x is (854 by 480) not 800 by 480 just to be clear. For everyone that is hating on this review though, you should be glad that phonearena did one. I myself am a droid x man but will always be up for a comparison.

50. cellstudent (Posts: 10; Member since: 21 Feb 2009)
Which is EXACTLY why I suggested you take a few side-by-side PHOTOGRAPHS of the keyboard and post them. Software screen captures do NOT represent the reality of the massive differences between these two keyboards. Let's try a little intellectual honesty here, shall we? Your keyboard comparisons here lie somewhere between "misleading" and "fabrication." Break out that little SLR and post some PHOTOS of the phones side-by-side on the same screen-capture scenes used in your comparison please- or even just a few freeze-frames from your review video where you compare the real keyboard sizes on the two devices, really.

Where did they find these guys to review phones. They dont know crap, how can you say the apple store has betterquality apps than android and that wins over android??? Android has just as good apps if not better, yeah apple has more but about 10,000 i calculator apps, and another 10,000 is soundboards. Oh and they didnt mention pretty much all of apple's apps you have to pay for. Pretty much most of android apps are free, and thats a fact. Android wins in the app game! Oh apple has no widgets.. boring with no widgets.

I only visit this site for giggles never a fair review, they havent mention any of the issues that iphone is having, plus the consumer reports slammed this phone. the network is terrible. I am not a lover of verizon but you have to take their quality of service into account when you are comparing phones that are exclusive to these networks. I cant believe this site even gets advertising from anyone but apple or at&t. what a joke
49. omgoshphones305 (Posts: 19; Member since: 21 Jul 2010)
word...the concept of a "fair review" is about as equal as to the theory that we come from mars, as always blogs, forums, twitter, facebook, myspace, linked in, will always be the ultimate time wasters of people express their hatred of carriers/companies, and at the end of the day, they still take the mighty dollar from your pocket, unless of course you dont' ant to upset zeu's half distant god brother steve jobs who obviously has the power to make people "love iphone or die!" and just to referene the comment of apple's goal to be innovative, i do have to admit that yes the iphone did change the way we look at smartphones, and the company does strive to be innovative and fake rebel way, but at the same time, a company is still just a company...everything from the screen to the antenna is outsourced..american apple (pie) is about as equal as chinese/japanese/taiwenese/korean/indonesian/ wontons... but that's just my opinion

The iPhone is called a phone because....? It doesn't seem like it works very well as a phone. You need duck tape, gloves, or a case to keep a solid connection and even with that the phone has bad call quality. iPhone+AT&T=FAIL Droid X FTW Now on an honest note, I wouldn't mind seeing an iPod version of the iPhone 4. I have an iPod Touch and as an iPod it's cool, but I wouldn't have an iPhone.

It's amazing how badly iPhone 4 sucks. Apple Fanboys will defend it until the end of time however. I will freely note first off that I have the 3GS, and I bought the 4. I returned it and went back to my current 3GS. It was that bad. It's hilarious to me what Apple fanboys are saying in forums and blogs all across the web, defending this thing like it's some sacred gem, pretending all its issues don't even exist. Ridiculous.

Barring the flaws of these phones it was a decent review. Maybe an update to include the reception issues, which aren't a huge problem, just hyped, and the droids screen issues, which again not a huge issue, but probably won't get hype, would be prudent. I don't live in am area where I get bad AT&T service. My bars are always high and even when I death grip my phone I don't drop calls and my data rates stay at a high 3.4 mb/s, so I don't see that being an issue. I haven't ran into any other problems(I.e. Yellow spots that haven't been sighted in weeks, or proximity sensor problems). A Defective screen however should be a major problem on a device where the screen is it's largest selling point. Just my opinion however. That being said, I played with a droid x and effin love it. Call me an apple fanboy if u wish but I actually like both platforms and also own an N-1 running froyo. The droid x seems snappier in some areas than the n1 but froyo really adds a lot of pep. If the x had froyo it would be a beast. However after owning both platforms I still give the iPhone the edge. Yeah call quality isn't the best. And I know that just because I don't have reception problems doesn't mean they don't exist, but it seems to me a better experience. Easier syncing(even with ctrl p for android) better media player, better browser, better cam. But man every day I wish for widgets and better notifications. I do wish apple would wisen up to that. Well I'm done. Wonder how much hate I'll receive for this post :-)

I think you forgot a little important detail: COST OF OWNERSHIP. You get unlimited data with the base droid plan and more texts, but you get a mere 200 MB with the Iphone. For the base plans, the droid x has a far better value. However, with the best plans, the Iphone 4 is a little bit cheaper that the droid x.

Super-sized burgers, skyscrapers and Great Lakes – North America is what the world would look like if you took it and made it big.
It's a land of giants – from the immense peaks of Alaska to the overindulgent pork ribs of the South. While the Americans will keep you well-fed, the Canadians will get you out in the open: to the likes of stunning Banff National Park or turquoise Lake Louise. See the skyscrapers of New York and Chicago, or the cascading rush of Niagara Falls. It's the land of the free and the home of the brave – and a tremendous otherworld to visit.
Why we love North America
- The USA is home to some of the biggest and most beautiful national parks on the planet. Yellowstone is a natural wonderland of hot springs and alpine forests. Hike to the steaming geyser of Old Faithful one day and track wolves with local experts the next
- Sample the diverse culinary identities of North America. Sink into a bowl of clam chowder in Boston, warm your soul with poutine in Montreal and get messy while enjoying Dungeness crab in Seattle
- Alaska is unlike any other place on Earth. Frozen plains and immense peaks are set behind remote tundra and glacial rivers. The serene, secluded oasis of Prince William Sound lives up to its world-class reputation
- Our guides will help you cross the border between Canada and the USA with ease. While they share some similarities, the contrasts between these two great nations are huge
- In the northernmost Canadian town of Inuvik, meet Dene, Metis and Inuvialuit peoples and learn how they live their lives on the edge of civilisation
- Where better to take a road trip than North America? Traverse big parts of the continent in the comfort of a custom-built, private vehicle. Without the worry of having to plan your next destination, you're free to sit back and enjoy panoramic landscapes and small towns you'd miss in any other form of travel

Good breast pad Review by Mariko
Quality Price Value
This breast pad is very soft and comfortable. It is also super absorbent, I have yet to leak through a shirt while wearing this breast pad. It is in fact so absorbent that I find it takes a long time to dry and usually have to hang dry it even after it has been in the dryer, this is not so bad for me since I hang dry the majority of our laundry any way. The price is a bit high if you are planning on buying more than one set so it would be nice if there was deal if you were to buy more but it is better to spend more for a pad that won't have you leaking through your shirt in public rather than spending less and having a wet shirt when not you are not able to change.

Imaging Helps Diagnose Bipolar Disease
MR spectroscopy may become the definitive imaging test to diagnose bipolar disease, a serious mental illness affecting more than two million Americans.
IN A SCIENTIFIC paper session yesterday, John D. Port, M.D., Ph.D., presented what he called the largest study of drug and medication-free bipolar patients ever performed. Dr. Port is a consultant and assistant professor of radiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. His team used MR spectroscopy of the brain to identify significant differences between the brain chemistries of people with and without bipolar disorder.
"Psychiatric illness in general is one of the most challenging areas of medicine to diagnose," Dr. Port said. "There are no physical signs of the illness, no tests to confirm it. It often takes years of meeting with a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis. Nobody ever puts the whole picture together. As a result, those with bipolar disorder are a very underserved population."
The researchers studied 21 patients with bipolar disorder who were not taking medications or drugs. They also found 21 people without the disorder who were the same age, sex and used the same right- or left-dominant hand. Study participants ranged in age from 18 to 55 and included 26 women and 16 men. The scans of participants' brains were completed in about an hour. In the bipolar group, there was a mix of those in manic and depressed states.
MR spectroscopy allows researchers to analyze chemical properties of brain tissue. They studied 60 to 70 regions of the brain, gathering thousands of points of data. They also analyzed the brain's metabolites, chemical substances produced as the body processes energy.
The group found the metabolite balance in bipolar patients was significantly different than that of the control group in brain areas responsible for behavior, movement, vision, reading and sensory information.
Dr. Port said the patterns displayed created a "fingerprint" of the disease. He also reported findings never seen before in the parietal white matter of the brain.
"This is an area not thought at all to be involved in psychiatric disease," he explained. "We looked at it just because we wanted a control area, but we did find differences. Another innovation is that this is the first time anyone's used a 3 T longbore scanner versus a 1.5 T scanner.
Dr. Port explained that the 3 T scanner allows much larger samples of tissue. The researchers were able to obtain two slices or views of each participant's brain. They collected more than 2,500 voxels represented in images by tiny colored squares which the team turned into chemical maps of the brain tissue.
Dr. Port admitted there is a long way to go before physicians can scan patients and diagnose mental illnesses. "The ultimate goal is to look at someone we think is bipolar, but we don't know, and be able to use imaging techniques to help us make the diagnosis."
Additionally, Dr. Port said it was important for this study to use patients with no exposure to lithium, the drug traditionally used to treat bipolar disease, or medications of any kind. "We wanted to see bipolar disease in its native state," he said. "It would be nice if we could extend this study with a treatment arm, put patients on lithium and scan them a couple of days after starting, then weeks and months later."
Left untreated, bipolar episodes typically become more frequent and more resistant to medication. Each year, approximately 30,000 depressed individuals commit suicide, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

DELAND, Fla. – The Stetson University softball team will play its first ever three game A-Sun series in Johnson City, Tenn., this weekend as it takes on ETSU. The Hatters and Bucs have hooked up as conference foes at Basler Field before, but previously in only two game sets.
Stetson (18-5, 3-2) will take on an ETSU team that carries an 11-12 overall mark and a 1-5 conference record. The two squads will meet in the regular season for the final time as A-Sun opponents, as the Buccaneers will be going to the Southern Conference to begin competition at the start of the 2014-15 season.
The Hatters are currently on a three game winning streak after sweeping a doubleheader with Marist on Tuesday and a single game with Buffalo on Wednesday. The game against UB featured a five run sixth inning comeback, sparked by back-to-back home runs by Jessica Griffin and Courtney Brandt.
Stetson has won five of its last six games, stretching back to opening weekend of A-Sun play, when it took two of three from then first place USC Upstate. Head Coach Frank Griffin's squad currently sits in fourth place in the conference standings, tied with Mercer, who has an identical 3-2 mark. The Hatters are just 2.5 games off the pace of first place Kennesaw State which holds a 5-1 conference record.
The first game between SU and ETSU is scheduled for 1 p.m., Saturday, Mar. 22, with the second game of the doubleheader to start at approximately 3:30 p.m., in Johnson City. First pitch for Sunday's finale will take place at 10:30 a.m. at Betty Basler Field.
Live Stats for the weekend series are available through the ETSU website at etsubucs.com, and updates will also be available from Hat-Alerts, the athletic department's official text messaging system. Post game recaps to be posted on gohatters.com.

COLUMBIANA Three people on council and Mayor David Spatholt are seeking a court order to find out what issue a taxpayer is having with the city's income tax code.
Council members were informed at the Sept. 18 meeting a taxpayer had formally filed a complaint about the tax code and Municipal Attorney Daniel Blasdell said three people would need to be appointed by council to serve on an income tax board of review.
The city has 45 days from the date of the complaint to appoint members and conduct a private hearing. Blasdell said the complaint was filed on Sept. 17 and explained that the review board already exists under the city's tax law adopted in 1973 but there are no members currently because the board has never been needed before since a complaint had never been filed.
On Sept. 18 Blasdell and City Manager Keith Chamberlin told council they could not discuss publicly what the complaint was as all income tax matters are required by law to be kept confidential. But three members of council and Spatholt believe they need to know in order to appoint the proper people to the board.
Councilman Bryan Blakeman was especially upset over the lack of information and accused Blasdell and Chamberlin of "hiding something." Several times during the meeting he referenced the city's charter and the tax code and argued that council has the right to know since the matter falls under official public business.
He also argued section 7.05 of the charter states the manager must make any reports or information available to council that council has requested.
"It doesn't say, 'except tax issues'," he noted.
He then said that after the Sept. 18 meeting he told Councilman Bob Bieshelt, who also wanted to know the issue, to approach Chamberlin privately and find out, but Chamberlin still refused to disclose the information.
Blakeman said that Chamberlin told Bieshelt council members have "zero reason to be involved in this" and don't "have a right to know."
When he learned that Bieshelt was not told, he then attempted to contact Chamberlin for himself, and was also not given the information but was referred to Blasdell, who again would not disclose the issue, citing that doing so would be a violation of law.
He stressed during the meeting that he has not sought to know the identity of the individual but only what their issue is. Chamberlin and Blasdell argued that disclosing the issue could in turn reveal the person's identity.
"I ask you again to please simply give background information on the tax issue that is requiring this panel to be formed. How can we possibly make an intelligent vote on the correct people to appoint if we don't already know what the issue is?" Blakeman said.
He also said council should know since they are voting on legislation that pertains to spending money and income taxes are a part of that spending.
"For all I know we have someone challenging a million-dollar tax," he said. "We are public officials, and we are asking a question regarding official public business, and the city manager and city attorney are refusing to tell us."
"I have a duty not to disclose it to you. I think you have a duty to appoint a board without compromising my duty," Blasdell said, and then suggested they appoint people to the board they know have experience with tax matters.
He also said that he didn't believe Blakeman was "right" in his argument and was not interpreting the charter properly.
Bieshelt then asked Blasdell and Chamberlin how many other people know the issue while council is kept in the dark.
"I understand our finance director knows about this issue. That troubles me greatly based on what you say," he said to Blasdell. "You say you can't divulge this information but the finance director knows. I bet the income tax department knows."
Blasdell replied that the department is aware.
Bieshelt said that he was first told that the complaint was sent in the form of a letter to Chamberlin, not everyone else.
"How do these other people know and why do they know?" he asked.
Blasdell didn't offer a specific answer, but only said, "You don't have the right to go in and look at my tax return."
Blakeman then made a motion to hire an attorney to obtain a writ of mandamus in the county Common Pleas Court. He explained that doing so would allow the attorney to go to court on their behalf and ask the judge to require Chamberlin or Finance Director Mike Harold to disclose the issue.
Bieshelt and Councilman James King approved the motion, but Councilmen Tom Ferguson, Lowell Schloneger and Councilwoman Mary Calinger opposed. Spatholt broke the tie by voting in favor. Spatholt and the others in favor said they wished to "set a precedence" that the city manager and municipal attorney could not keep information from council.
Schloneger said he didn't approve for three reasons. "First it goes against our code, second it goes against the ethics they (council) should have, and third it should go against their morals."
He reminded council that a few years ago when the city's income tax was proposed a local factory owner came out against it but later changed his mind after it was explained to him.
"He was for the tax, but what he was worried about was that council or someone else" would have his report available to them, he said. "We now have some council persons that are seeking to have a person's tax report problem made available to them I will keep tonight's agenda and the minutes from this meeting available until the next election."
He explained that voters will interpret Blakeman's suggestion as an attempt to look at their income tax report.
"It should look good on a campaign sign. 'Vote for me and I will try to look at your city income tax report,'" he said.
But Blakeman again argued he is not seeking to look at the report, only to know what the particular issue is that will be addressed privately.
"That's a lie. I'm not looking for anyone's income tax returns," he said.
The attorney hired will be paid for by the city, which Blakeman estimated would cost a minimal amount.
Blasdell said they have a right to pursue a writ of mandamus but didn't believe they had the time. He then suggested they at least appoint the review board to make sure the deadline doesn't pass. If the board is not formed in time the favor will by default fall to the taxpayer, he explained.
He also cautioned council members shouldn't appoint people to the board who are already on council as it may be perceived as being impartial, but the suggestion wasn't followed as Bieshelt was then appointed to the board by a 4-2 vote. Councilmen Tom Ferguson and Schloneger opposed. John Haller and Rick Firestone were also appointed to the board and council also approved imposing a term limit.
Once the hearing is held, the taxpayer may file an appeal of the decision if they should so choose, and at that time the case would likely become public as it would then go through the Common Pleas Court and those records are open to the public, Blasdell pointed out.

The thread of my story begins in Europe in the summer of 2001, during my Grand Tour. Between two days in Normandy that spanned 900 years of history (Bayeux Tapestry to Utah Beach) and three hours on a train between Krakow and Prague when I shared a compartment with a Holocaust survivor who was returning from his first trip back to Auschwitz, History roared back to consciousness inside of me after a decade-long hiatus. When I returned home, I bought a copy of Norman Davies' Europe: A History – all 1,392 pages – to help me fill in the holes the five week trip highlighted in the form of five pages of tiny little notes to myself about people, places, events that were important but unknown to me.
Ever since, I've been slowly working on making History a vocation as well as a passion. I talked myself out of a PhD after my 2005 Systems Dynamics course at AU, where I created a working model of the academic job market for History PhDs. I don't think I'm telling anyone on the doctorate track that it's going to get worse before it gets better. Sorry! Undaunted even if deflected, I jumped into the MA program determined to tie in History with my present work. Along the way, I have created websites, worked on digital cartography, studied the changing shape of the American closet, and managed to present a paper at the 2009 AHA Annual Meeting, the current high-water mark of my academic career.
Yet now that I have a wife and a 10-month old son, decisions relating to anything that might disrupt a steady paycheck have taken new gravity. I'm still working on moving towards getting paid for doing something History. I'm just telling myself that will just require more patience. Those of you already in the History workforce, please – leave my fantasy as intact as possible! (Advice to son: do something you love when you are young, because it only gets harder to chase that dream once you have spent a few years on the career treadmill.)
Meanwhile, I have been an educator for 14 years, specializing in e-learning, instructional design and integrating evidence-based design into classroom programs to improve learning retention and effectiveness. Teaching is another passion – I've spent time in multiple industries (financial services, government, insurance, consulting, even an internet start-up company), but always in the learning and development field. What can I say? I come from a family of educators (my mom, an aunt, and four cousins across two generations). That I will find immediate application of the things I learn in this course seems certain. That I will learn much from all of you seems similarly assured. I look forward to our collaboration!

Options deemed not viable
Several zoos volunteered to take Marius. The UK's Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which said it has the capacity for an extra male, was among several places that offered to take him.
Copenhagen Zoo said in a Q&A about the decision on its website, "it is not possible to transfer the giraffe to another zoo as it will cause inbreeding."
The EAZA's Dickie said some institutions were ruled out because they did not meet her organization's strict protocols, and the Copenhagen Zoo wouldn't send Marius to an institution with "lesser standards of welfare."
She further said that while EAZA members are "saddened by the death of any animal in our care," the EAZA supports the Copenhagen Zoo's decision and reiterated the zoo's claim that "transfer within our network does not represent a solution to the unsuitability of the individual animal for breeding."
In the EAZA's history, which dates to the early 1800s, its member zoos have put down only five giraffes, Dickie said.
Numerous American zoos did not immediately respond to requests for interviews. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums declined a request, issuing a short statement from executive director Kris Vehrs stating that EAZA's "programs and procedures vary from those of the AZA."
"Through the AZA Species Survival Plan program, these methods include science-based breeding recommendations and cooperating to plan for adequate space," Vehrs said in the statement.
The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington, also declined an interview but said its birth plans were managed by the AZA Species Survival Plan.
"With each new animal birth, Woodland Park Zoo establishes a breeding and relocation plan that ensures a healthy and genetically sound future for the individual and species," the statement said.
To claims that the Copenhagen Zoo acted irresponsibly by allowing Marius to be born if it had no room to house him, Dickie said the giraffe was born more than two years ago, and it's difficult to predict "genetic kinship" and a zoo's available space that far out.
As for preventing the giraffes from breeding, that would violate the EAZA's standard of "providing a behavioral repertoire as natural as possible" for animals in captivity, she said.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch in advance of more soaking rain showers forecast to move through southeast Wisconsin over the course of the next 3 days.
A flood watch means there will be the potential for flooding to occur.
Many rivers, streams, and creeks are running high and will approach bank full to minor flood stages if the rain forecast verifies.
This would be a good time to make sure your sump pump is in good working order, and your rain gutters are attached to your home to make sure the rain water and runoff does not make it into your basement.
Stay tuned to 12 News, WISN.com, and all of our mobile apps for iPhone and Android.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Purdue Pharmaceutical Products, and Mundipharma International have restructured their existing drug development alliance and passed back to Infinity global rights to the firm's phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) program, its fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) program, and early-stage discovery projects. The alliance, centered on the development of product candidates arising from Infinity's PI3K and other discovery programs, was originally signed in 2008.
As part of the restructuring Purdue will make a $27.5 million equity investment in Infinity, through the purchase of nearly 2 million shares of Infinity common stock at $14.50 per share. Infinity will also issue Purdue with another 3,520,013 shares of its common stock, at the same price, to pay back the principal and accrued interest outstanding under a $50 million line of credit Purdue made available to Infinity.
The pass-back of drug programs to Infinity means Mundipharma will no longer provide the firm with research and development funding. Mundipharma and Purdue will, however, be entitled to receive royalties on sales of products that were previously encompassed by the partnership. Under the original agreement Mundipharma was to fund all research and development costs within the strategic alliance through at least 2013, up to caps of $85 million in 2011 and $110 million in 2012. Purdue and Mundipharma were separately responsible for fully funding the FAAH program, with Infinity retaining an entitlement to worldwide royalties of up to 20% on any successfully developed products.
"Regaining worldwide rights to all of our programs, particularly our PI3K program, is an important, value-creating development for Infinity," comments Adelene Q. Perkins, president and CEO. "Our strategic alliance with Mundipharma and Purdue has been key in building the company, and we are pleased that they will now participate in the value of our PI3K program as a more significant Infinity equity holder, together with our other investors."
Infinity's lead PI3K-delta and gamma inhibitor IPI-145 is currently undergoing Phase I testing in patients with advanced hematological malignancies. The firm also today announced expanding the study in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or mantle cell lymphoma. Phase II development of IPI-145 as a treatment for inflammation is expected to begin in the second half of 2012.
Infinity's lead candidate, retaspimycin hydrochloride (IPI-504), is an intravenously administered, selective heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor. A Phase II placebo-controlled trial is currently in progress to evaluate the antitumor activity, tolerability, and safety of retaspimycin HCl in combination with docetaxel in approximately 200 second- or third- line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. A previously completed Phase Ib trial demonstrated that treatment using retaspimycin HCl in combination with docetaxel was well-tolerated and clinically active in heavily pretreated patients with NSCLC. A Phase Ib/II trial is separately under way to evaluate retaspimycin HCl in combination with everolimus (Afinitor®) as a treatment for NSCLC patients with a KRAS mutation.
