SÃO PAULO — Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff sought on Tuesday to defuse a massive protest movement sweeping the country, acknowledging the need for better public services and a more responsive government as demonstrations continued in some cities around the country.
Speaking the morning after more than 200,000 Brazilians marched in more than a half-dozen cities, Ms Rousseff said her government remained committed to social change and was listening attentively to the many grievances expressed at the demonstrations.
"Brazil woke up stronger today," Ms Rousseff said in a televised speech in Brasilia. "The size of yesterday's demonstrations shows the energy of our democracy, the strength of the voice of the streets and the civility of our population."
Monday's demonstrations were the latest in a flurry of protests in the past two weeks that have fed on widespread frustration with poor public services, police violence and government corruption.
The protests, organised mostly by university students through snowballing social media campaigns, marked the first time that Brazilians have taken to the streets on such a large scale since economic volatility and a corruption scandal led to the toppling of a president in the early 1990s.
The demonstrations started as small protests in a few cities against an increase in bus and subway fares but quickly ballooned into a national movement after police fired rubber bullets at protesters in São Paulo last week in clashes that injured more than 100 people.
Eager to ease tension and prevent future protests, officials in at least five cities, including important state capitals such as Porto Alegre and Recife, announced plans on Tuesday to lower bus fares.
But demonstrations continued in a few cities, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, where thousands gathered in front of the city's landmark cathedral and marched on its main avenue in what protesters hoped would be a final push to persuade local officials to cancel the increase in bus fares.
Tuesday night's demonstrations were marred by a small group of rioters who smashed the windows of São Paulo's city hall and then set fire to a police security post and a TV broadcaster's transmission van.
Protests then continued mostly peacefully, fading before midnight, but rioters began pelting the windows of nearby businesses with stones and burning trash in the street, TV channel O Globo reported. It said at least 20 people were arrested for looting.
The justice ministry said it would send federal troops to the cities hosting the two-week Fifa Confederations Cup soccer tournament, which kicked off in Brazil on Saturday, to reinforce security.
São Paulo Mayor Fernando Haddad, a prominent figure in Ms Rousseff's left-leaning Workers' Party, said in a meeting with leaders of the protest movement on Tuesday that he was considering a cut in bus fares but needed to find ways to compensate for the loss in revenue.
It remains unclear, however, whether that would be enough to halt the protests, given that protesters have embraced so many other causes.
Rousseff turns to Lula
Ms Rousseff travelled to São Paulo on Tuesday to meet Mr Haddad and former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, her predecessor and political mentor. A former metalworker and union boss who led massive protests in the late 1970s, Mr Lula remains an important power broker in Brazilian politics.
The unrest comes at a delicate time for Ms Rousseff, whose administration is struggling to rein in high inflation and get the economy back on track after two years of sluggish growth.
Polls show Ms Rousseff remains widely popular but her approval ratings have begun to slip in recent weeks for the first time since taking office in early 2011.
A leftist guerrilla in her youth who was jailed for conspiring against Brazil's military dictatorship, Ms Rousseff said the sight of so many young Brazilians marching for their rights moved her.
She also said her government sympathised with the many grievances expressed at the demonstrations, from calls for more spending on education and healthcare to better and more affordable public transportation.
"My government hears the voices clamouring for change, my government is committed to social transformation," Ms Rousseff said.
"Those who took to the streets yesterday sent a clear message to all of society, above all to political leaders at all levels of government."

UC Celebrates Earth Day by Going Tray-less
by Going Tray-less in the Dining Centers.
Cincinnati, OH, April 14, 2008
In honor of Earth Day, which is celebrated across the country on April 22, University Dining Services is launching an awareness campaign, "Take Action," which will include eliminating trays from the dining centers during the week of April 21-25 to support ecology, conservation and sustainability.
"We see Earth Day as an opportunity to partner with the University of Cincinnati to help the campus community engage in socially responsible activities that put into practice our shared commitment to the environment," said Omar Rayan, ARAMARK Resident District Manager.
University Dining Services is taking this week to not only go tray-less, but also to highlight several other programs that have been incorporated into campus dining to reduce their carbon footprint. They'll also use ads, posters, and other materials to promote recycling and conservation tips, information and other resources focused on the environment. "I am excited for the campus community," says Ian Sroufe, Director of Operations. "Earth week is a great way to get the whole campus engaged in environmental awareness. Today there is more urgency to conserve, reduce, and reuse materials and resources. I feel this is our chance to do some substantial good for our planet."
Programs and events being held throughout the week will include:
Tray-less Week – It has been proven at campuses across the country that when trays are removed from the dining locations, less food is wasted and water and energy are conserved. During this week, University Dining Services will remove all trays from both MarketPointe@Siddall and CenterCourt Dining Centers to help conserve.
Dim the Lights Day – To create an impact and conserve energy, MarketPointe Dining Center will turn the lights off in their North Wing seating through lunch and experiment with different lighting levels.
Weigh-the-Waste – To create awareness around the amount of food that gets wasted daily within the dining halls, University Dining Services will weigh-the-waste throughout the week during lunch and dinner, and will also make sure to do this during Tray-less week to show the difference in the amount of waste. A contest will also be conducted for students to guess the amount of waste, and prizes such as recycled tote bags filled with Earth Day friendly items will be given away.
Earth Day Meal – University Dining Services will highlight environmentally friendly and local menu items that are being served daily or incorporated in entrees.
"Drink to Earth" Mugs – All of Dining Services café locations will encourage their customers to reduce packaging waste by purchasing reusable "Drink to Earth" insulated mugs. Customers will receive their first drink in the mugs free and can continue using the mugs to purchase refills in the future.
Conservation & Recycling Tips – Students will be provided with easy tips on how they can take action, conserve and recycle while on campus as well as create awareness around conserving water, energy and electricity.

During this year's trip to Niagara on the Lake we spent one whole day sampling just some of the culinary delights the region has to offer.
In the morning we came upon a pig roast set up in a farmer's market at the nearby strip mall. chef John arrived with his own customized truck and set up his efficient gas fired pig roaster. It takes just under four hours to roast a 35 pound pig to crusty perfection. When the roast is done, they lift the spit to an upper position and just carve the meat right onto the built in trays to keep it warm.
From there we headed to the Upper Canada Cheese Company in Jordan.
They are making two kinds : Comfort Cream soft ripened cheese and Canada gold, washed rind cheese. The first is like a French Brie and the second is a really "stinky" cheese that has wonderfully complex flavors and pungent aromas.
And finally, we found our way back to Whitty Farms where they make the most delicious Butter Tarts in all of Canada. And I keep asking myself, "Why don't they make these in Pittsburgh?" they have all the buttery sweet goodness of a pecan pie with a buttery crust that is more than half the pleasure of these tender treats. Visit their website for information about what's fresh from their fields. But the butter tarts are ALWAYS fresh. http://www.whittyfarms.ca/

The Orlando City Council will discuss new rules for sex offenders at a meeting Monday.
Under a proposed rule change, sex offenders would have to live 1,500 feet away from schools, day cares, parks and playgrounds. Currently, they can live 1,000 feet away.
If the measure passes, sex offenders already living within the newly-drawn restricted zone would not have to move.
The council will meet at 2 p.m.

In this exercise, we are going to see the real power of true clones. We are going to modify one of these text layers and all the other text will change in kind. It's a little tricky though because unless your text is exactly the same physical size after you get done modifying it or changing its formatting, you are going to need to change the size of the Smart Object as well to avoid cropping, and I'll show you how that works in just a moment. I've saved my progress as Watermark.psd found inside the 29_smart_objects folder. Now recall what we have here is this Watermark Smart Object that itself contains three groups, each of which contains their own Smart Object, so that we have smart objects nested inside groups which are nested inside of a Smart Object, which is an entirely acceptable, and by the way, recommended way of working inside Photoshop.
Permits us a lot of flexibility, as you're sure about to find out. But in order to edit any one of these text layers, we need to gain access to it by opening up the various smart objects. So we need to peel our way down to the middle of the onion. So go to this watermark layer and double-click on its thumbnail in order to bring up the Smart Object. Now you'll get this warning if you haven't turned it Off already, that's essentially just telling you that you need to make sure to save your changes so that they are ultimately reflected back here in a larger composition, don't use the Save As command or you are going to mess everything up.
We have seen this alert enough, so I am going to turn On the Don't show again check box and click OK, and that goes ahead and opens what's called left.psb for me. What Photoshop has done is immediately created a temporary file, in which to house the contents of my Smart Object. Now if I were to go to the File menu to try to figure out where it is, and choose the Save As command, now I am going to find out that I am working inside the deep recesses of my C drive here on the PC, inside of this Temp folder. You do not want to click Save at this point, because you'll break the link between a Smart Object that you're working on in larger compositions.
So just cancel out of here. What I am really saying is you should be aware of this is happening of course, but you don't want to meddle with it because this is Photoshop's way of tracking the relationships. I am going to go ahead and zoom in to 44% on my screen, I am not suggesting you do that, I am just doing that so that I can keep track of my Smart Object here. At the same size it appears inside of Watermark.psd. Now you may say, well gosh, actually the two files are of different size. We are seeing this one here at 44% as well and it's tied to the top and bottom of the screen but as soon as we switch back over to left.psb, we are not tied to the top and bottom of the screen.
Notice also by the way that the text is tied to the corners, whereas in the larger composition, it's not tied to the corners, and that's because the Smart Object is automatically sized so it exactly holds the content of that Smart Object, it's not as big as the overall composition, and this will become important in just a moment. All right, now let's edit one of our text layers here and it doesn't matter which one you edit. So I could twirl-open middle, which is the last group of objects I created, and I could double-click on the thumbnails associated with either one of these guys in order to open up that text.
You notice this time I do not get the warning because I turned it Off. All right, so now let's set about editing the text. So this is the one text layer incidentally to which all the other smart objects are linked, no matter which one you double-click on, that's what you are going to get. I am going to grab my Type tool here, and I'm going to go ahead and click inside the text and press Ctrl+A, Command+A on the Mac to select all of it. And this core image that I am working with here, didn't really come from Bob's image shack, it came from Fotolia, the Fotolia Image Library, and so I will go ahead and enter Fotolia.com/deke there, and just to make sure, it's a different size so I can show you how that works, because right now it fits exactly into our space.
I'll press Ctrl+A once again, Command+A on the Mac to select all that text, and we'll change its formatting. Currently, I have got the All Caps option turned On. So if I were to bring up my Character panel right there, which I can also get by choosing Character from the Window menu, then notice, this guy right there, All Caps is On, I could turn it Off if I want the lowercase characters, and I am going to switch my font from Bold Condensed here, the Bold Condensed version of Myriad Pro, to just straight ahead bold. And that's going to make my text too thick, as you can see there. So I will go ahead and hide my Character panel.
Let's say I press the Enter key on the numerical keypad to accept my modifications, and then I close this image and then Photoshop says, hey, do you want to go ahead and save these changes back to Bob's image shack.psd and recall that we are not really saving to the hard drive, like we normally do with the Save command or instead just updating the larger composition. And actually we are not even doing that. We are updating the composition in between, as you'll see in a moment. I'll click Yes, or on the Mac I would click the Save button, and here is the problem, we get a bunch of cropped versions of our text, so it says otolia.com/dek, which is not what we want at all.
Also by the way, if I switch back to the larger composition Watermark.psd, notice we have not updated the changes inside of this document. You have got to update each step along the way. So if you open the Smart Object that's nested inside of another one, you've got to save your way back out as well in order to update the larger composition. All right, anyway I'll go back to where we were. This is no good. So let's go ahead and double- click on this thumbnail again, or this thumbnail, it doesn't matter. Double-click on this guy this time around and we need to un-crop this text by going up to the Image menu and choosing Reveal All, and now I'll go ahead and expand the canvas, so the text is no longer cropped.
I'll close my image, yes, I want to save my changes, click on the Save button on the Mac, and then my text looks great, except that it's too big over here on the left-hand side and the right-hand side of my image. So I'll twirl-close middle, click on the left group in order to make it active, and I am going to press Ctrl+T or Command+T on the Mac to enter the Free Transform mode once again. This time I do want to turn on Delta, this little triangle here. So probably for you, it's going to be Off, go ahead and turn it On. And that way I can grab this X value right there if I want to, and I could press Shift+Up Arrow a few times in a row, three times, looks like it does the trick.
So I'll take the x value up to +30 pixels, now I will press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac a couple of times in order to accept that change. Next I'll click on right, so I did +30 before and now I am going to do -30. Press Ctrl+T, Command+T on the Mac, make sure that Delta is turned On, which gives us the difference once again, so that we are finding the difference between our current position and our new position, and I will change the x value to -30, so it's relative modification, and then I'll press the Enter key a couple of times or the Return key a couple of times in the Mac. And it looks like I might have a little cropping left around the edge of the es in Deke, and so I am going to go up to the Image menu.
Just to make sure I don't crop anything, and I'll choose the Reveal All command, and that's going to incrementally, just ever so slightly increase the size of that Smart Object. Now I will close it, click on the Yes button or the Save button on the Mac and that goes ahead and updates my text here inside of the larger window. And notice by the way, in so far as this composition is concerned, this entire exercise has been one operation. So if I go up to the Edit menu and choose Undo Update Smart Objects, or press Ctrl+Z, Command+Z on the Mac, I get back to Bob's image shack, and then if I want to reapply my changes, I just press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z again.
Now Fotolia.com/deke is looking a little low by virtue of the fact that I am no longer working with All Caps, I am working with upper and lowercase characters, because all of the text objects are spaced away from each other by the same amount. So I'll just press Ctrl+Semicolon or Command+Semicolon on the Mac in order to hide those guidelines. So once again the real power of true clones is that you can update multiple layers inside of your composition in one convenient operation.

Lycoming's Rudloff back after back surgery
August 29, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
Dillin Rudloff couldn't even move his leg. It was the last straw. He knew something was wrong with him and it needed to be fixed.
But the prospect of back surgery didn't exactly excite him. He felt like he was way too young for something as serious as back surgery.
He also knew it had to be done.
"I had a lot of nerve damage to my leg and I knew I wouldn't have been 100 percent for the team last year," Rudloff said at Lycoming College football media day. "I knew something was wrong and I had to get it checked out."
Rudloff, a defensive end for the Warriors, was coming off a season in which he appeared in all 10 games on the defensive line and even started five of them. He was going to be another key cog in a defensive line rotation for the Warriors that was the springboard to the best defense in the MAC and the third-best defense, statistically at least, in the country.
But the wear and tear on his back had just become too much. His mother, Amy, is a nurse and she helped research Rudloff's injury by talking to doctors and finding out who the best doctor was to go to for the procedure.
"It was scary at first just being so young, but in the long run, it was worth it," Rudloff said. It was a six-month recovery process for Rudloff after surgery. He tried to help at practice with younger players like Braden Zeiner and Zack McMenamin who were seeing significant time on the first team as true freshmen.
It just wasn't the same, though, as actually being out on the field. Now, as a senior, the Athens High School product is ready to get back into the mix. He's listed as a second-team defensive end on the team's depth chart, coincidentally, behind Zeiner.
He's another piece to add to the defensive line mix that already features Roger Jayne, Dwight Hentz and Nate Oropollo, creating one of the best defensive line combinations in the MAC.
"He's working through some rust having missed last year, but he's been in games and he has experience and he's not afraid," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said.
Rudloff's return couldn't come at a better time. The Warriors lost All-American Anthony Marascio to graduation after last season. Marascio was a game-changer who was able to play at both tackle and end, but played primarily end after Rudloff was lost for the season.
That opened the door for one of the most dominant seasons in Lycoming history for Marascio. He finished with 59 tackles – which led the Warriors – including 20 tackles for loss totaling 100 yards in lost yardage. He also had eight sacks.
But looking at Rudloff as a replacement for Marascio probably isn't fair. The Warriors haven't had as dominant a defensive player as Marascio since the Frank Girardi era. But what Rudloff can bring to the team is experience. He understands what it takes to make Steve Wiser's defense work.
"You can't compare anyone to Anthony," Clark said. "For Dillin that would be completely unfair, but he's still going to be really good."
"I definitely would never say I'm replacing him at all. But as a whole we're doing really well," Rudloff said. "The big thing is we have a lot of depth this year. We have a lot of people we can throw on the field, which will be awesome. Hopefully that can help us fill in for (Marascio) being gone."
For now, Rudloff is just anxious to get back on the football field. He should get his chance Saturday when Lycoming opens the season against Brockport at David Person Field.
"I don't know if I'm better, but I'm more determined and I know what's going on," Rudloff said. "Last year, I took it more of a learning tool with mental reps. So I feel like I can be a better player after that."

"If the government bans something, people will go out and buy two!" I used to joke about this, but the current buying frenzy is proving it is true. Is this truly the American way?

It seems so. I've had a number of friends approach me in the past month and ask about AR-15's. They never owned one, were never really concerned to, and now that they might be banned, they all want one.
I guess it's a good thing from our point of view, but it's still strange.
February 2, 2013, 02:08 PM
The funny thing about Americans is if we want something we'll get it one way or another. Be it booze, guns, drugs, gay rights, you name it.
They can't keep anything from us.
February 2, 2013, 03:54 PM
I've had several folks approach me recently as well, wanting to know if I could help them find an AR for a "good" price.
If alcohol prohibition were being tossed about, you can bet I'd be stocking up on Jack Daniels and Budweiser.
Yep.. The American way for sure.

"If I had bought an AR before................."
February 2, 2013, 07:37 PM
She doesn't know what a barrel shroud is, but SOMEONE very knowledgeable told her to ban it. :rolleyes:
February 2, 2013, 07:54 PM
Prohibition is a fallacy. Markets exist with or without the approval of governments.
February 2, 2013, 08:11 PM
Around here, ppl with typically no interest in firearms are standing in line to buy overpriced AR's and ammo.
I'm curious what the huge influx of guns to the general public will do to the crime rate??

I'm more worried about an increased rate of ND's. While these are never good, they are definitely negative press if they occur in a public setting.
February 3, 2013, 02:36 PM
Yes that too.
I swear we will soon see a scroll at the bottom of a liberal nat'l news channel that reads: "An innocent deer was shot today in the woods by an NRA member with an assualt-style rifle".

I am a well known gun guy at work and I have been approached by five people at work who are looking to buy their first gun. I told them that if they "just have to" then go ahead, but it would be much more economical to wait 6 months until prices normalize. I hope that I don't look like an idiot 6 months from now!!!
February 3, 2013, 05:17 PM
I was at a talk/signing for Paul Barrett's book Glock: Rise of America's Gun at a Brooklyn book shop about a year ago.
There was a substantial crowd (approx 100 people, IIRC), and I remember gasps of surprise/horror when he mentioned that just about every time there has been a mass shooting, gun sales spiked up, particularly of the type of firearm used in the incident.
Al Thompson
February 3, 2013, 06:23 PM
I'd never heard that, but it seems true around here.
February 3, 2013, 10:14 PM
I know for my part it's true.
When California lowered the boom on my favorite cutting fluid, I bought every can my distributor had and am still using out of that supply. Triple win for me as I still have the old formula which goes so much farther in preserving the quality of my tools and it would cost me a fortune to buy the supply in which the gubment prompted me to invest. I'd need much more of the "new" tri-whatsit and I'd be replacing tooling a lot more often.

Partially paralyzed golfer Fred Gutierrez accomplished his goal of walking and playing 36 holes of golf in one day on Tuesday at the Summerville Country Club.
Not only did Gutierrez walk all 36 holes, but he also played quality golf, firing a career-low round of 85 in the opening 18 holes that featured five pars and two birdies. The second round was not quite as good as the first, but Fred parred the final hole to shoot in the low 90's as about 60 spectators welcomed him to the final green.
Gutierrez has a condition known as Left Hemiplegia from a gunshot wound to his head. This condition is common among stroke patients. For 16 years he has been paralyzed on the left side of his body from the top of his head to the bottom of his foot.
Gutierrez had planned to play 36 holes in February to raise funds for Gifting Warriors and to increase awareness of the benefits of Botox and acupuncture for stroke victims.

|Industry First Luxury Eco Certification Standard for Hoteliers Launched
May, 2009
Sustainable Travel International Helps Luxury Accommodations Discover a Deeper Shade of Green
Sustainable Travel International (STI), the global non-profit leader in providing sustainable travel solutions for the tourism industry and consumers, announces the launch of the Luxury Eco Certification Standard (LECS), the world's only voluntary, global sustainable tourism certification program designed specifically for the luxury accommodation sector. LECS is a comprehensive standard that considers the needs and challenges of operating a new or existing luxury hotel while addressing environmental and social impacts to help to protect the destinations they serve.
LECS is a product of STI's working knowledge of best practices in the luxury accommodation sector. Focusing on the Triple Bottom Line (people, planet and profit), LECS is aligned with impending global accreditation through the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria. LECS helps luxury hotels create and implement a measurement and management framework in their move toward sustainability. The program is designed for newcomers and those who already have experience in sustainable business practices.
The LECS Self-assessment Application consists of 100 environmental and social criteria for the hotels to meet in order to be eco-certified, addressing five areas of operations: Policy and Documentation, Energy Conservation, Water Conservation, Recycling and Community. Upon completion of the LECS application, applicants will be required to undertake a third party assessment through Leading Quality Assurance, an auditing firm that specializes in providing quality assurance audits, benchmarking analysis and training services to the luxury hospitality industry.
"Becoming a LECS eco-certified hotel will be challenging and will require serious commitment," explains STI Vice President and Co-founder, Peter D. Krahenbuhl. "However, the standard provides education and guidance for developing a sustainability framework and operational activities. In return, implementing LECS will help hoteliers operate their facilities more efficiently and sustainably, which will likely reduce their long term operating costs, and create customer and employee good will."
The cost to apply for LECS is $2995. This includes the Self-assessment Application, administration and processing fees, the fee for conducting a two day/one night assessment, and most auditor travel expenses, including all international air travel to and from the hotels, wherever they are located.
About Sustainable Travel International (STI): STI (www.sustainabletravel.com) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote sustainable development through responsible travel by providing programs that help travelers, businesses and destinations protect the environment, preserve cultural heritage and promote economic development. STI is dedicated to providing tangible, solutions-oriented programs and to taking a holistic approach to addressing sustainable development within the travel and tourism industries.

Project to cover five-block stretch of theater district
New York City is making the Broadway plazas permanent.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and transportation commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan have given an official thumbs-up to the 'Green Light for Midtown' project, the pilot version of which last year closed portions of Broadway to car traffic, including a five-block stretch in the theater district.
The project had initially prompted concerns that the pedestrian-friendly street closings, undertaken to improve traffic patterns, might disrupt theater industry traffic including tour buses and trucks carrying sets to be loaded in or out of theaters.
Those hassles have not seemed to materialize. And while the improvement in overall traffic didn't hit previously announced targets, the city's new report indicates that travel times were for the most part improved for vehicles in midtown traveling in all directions.
Injuries in the area also were down.
Now that a decision on the initiative's permanence has been made, the city said it will begin unspecified renovations to the plaza areas, which will eventually see a number of design and infrastructure changes, including new paving and permanent seating.

Significant increases of serum α-2-macroglobulin (α-2-M) were detected in narcotic addicts presenting at a methadone treatment center. The mean α-2-M level was 341 ± 14 mg/dl compared with 231 ± 8 mg/dl in normal persons (p < 0.01). In a comparable group of alcoholics with laboratory evidence of hepatic dysfunction the mean α-2-M level was 208 ± 10 mg/dl. Although the serum immunoglobulin M content was also substantially elevated in the narcotic-addict group, no correlation was obtained between the serum content of this protein and α-2-M. Similarly, no correlation between α-2-M level and serum zinc content was observed. When the values of the trypsin-binding activity of serum measured in 13 addicts, 15 alcoholics with laboratory evidence of hepatic dysfunction, and 16 normal subjects were plotted against the amount of α-2-M measured in the same subjects, a linear correlation was obtained between trypsin-binding activity and α-2-M. Thus, the significantly increased serum trypsin-binding activity observed in the addicts is that which might be expected if normal α-2-M is being accumulated in large amounts as a result of increased macroglobulin synthesis.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - For the second time in less than a year, Saudi Arabia was thrown into the process of naming a new heir to its 88-year-old king after the death Saturday of Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz.
That forces a potentially pivotal decision: Whether to bring a younger generation a step closer to ruling one of the West's most critical Middle East allies. King Abdullah has now outlived two designated successors, despite ailments of his own.
It's widely expected that the current succession order will stand and Nayef's brother, Defense Minister Prince Salman - another elderly and ailing son of the country's founding monarch - will become the heir to the throne of OPEC's top producer.

I'm interested in knowing more about the true risk of Botox parties. Are the risks all that significant that you need a doctor on-hand? Afterall, Botox does wear off
Botox Party: Are They Safe?
Doctor Answers 43
Caution with Botox parties
While Botox is a safe procedure in the right hands, it is not something that can be done by anyone, anywhere. It amazes me that people turn their faces over to any "beauty professional" to administer a medical injection that chemically denervates your facial muscles. Yes, the effect is temporary, but there are real complications that can occur. This should be performed by an appropriately trained physician (board certified plastic surgeon, dermatologist, oculoplastic surgeon, or ENT surgeon) or someone directly trained by and supervised by a physician.
When you go to a Botox party in a non-medical setting, it is really hard to ensure safe practices and appropriate medical record keeping. What are the training/credentials of the injector? Do they even know what muscles they are injecting, or how to fix any problems they cause? Do you have a way to contact him or her after the party? Do you have any follow-up? Is the product being used really Botox? Is the lot number, expiration date, and amount of product used recorded in any medical chart? Were you informed of all of the potential risks, asked if you were pregant, informed of the expected results and what to do if you are not satisfied? Are you getting one-on-one attention with your injector, or are you literally in the middle of a party setting? Did you sign an informed consent? Is there alcohol involved? Were you under pressure by friends or the injector? Is there appropriate equipment to provide sterile technique? Did he or she take the time to analyze your face specifically? Was a medical history taken?
The real answer to your question depends on what you mean by Botox party. The above refers to social gatherings in a non-medical setting, with an injector offering Botox to the attendees. Often the person injecting is not properly trained or qualified to perform the injections, may or may not be a licensed practioner, or may not even understand how Botox works.
I strongly urge you to seek out a professional who is trained to provide this medical service, rather than getting injected at some random party or the corner salon offering cheap prices. There is a reason the prices are cheap. You don't want to learn the hard way that yes, it does matter who injects your Botox.
Good luck!
Botox parties can be safe if done right
Botox parties do not have to have a negative stigma. I regularly hold Botox parties in my office and in The Roxpsa medispa at the Roxbury Clinic and Surgery Center. When performed safely, with approved medical techniques and appropriate informed consent, Botox parties can be very safe.
That being said, you must still be cautious and suspicious when Botox parties are conducted by non-trained individuals. These are still medical procedures and must always be supervised by a knowledgeable physician.
Botox " Parties"
- Have I been asked to provide a complete medical history?
- Have I been advised of alternative treatments?
- Have risks or potential complications been discussed?
- Have I been asked to give my informed consent?
- Will I receive adequate follow-up care?

Botox should only be injected by trained medical professionals
Botox should only be injected by trained medical professionals (Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists).
In California, RN's may inject Botox if properly trained and only under the supervision of a physician.
Occasionally (underline occasionally as this is uncommon) a bit of the Botox can get into the muscle of the upper eyelid and cause it to droop. Fortunately, this is usually short lived as the muscle was not injected directly. Over-injection can cause facial immobility.
In the right hands, Botox is very safe and the vast majority of patients who are properly injected by trained professionals are very happy with results.
Do your homework first and beware of highly discounted prices.
Botox Party
Who is having the Botox Party?? Is it in a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist office? Do your research, and do not be afraid to ask questions. There are people who inject Botox who are not qualified to do so.
Botox Party Safety Concerns
It is absolutely essential that Botox is administered by an experienced medical specialist to help reduce possible risks and complications that can occur. Some forms of side effects can last weeks, while others can last for several months. If the Botox party does not have a medical practitioner performing the injections, then it should be avoided.
The person administering the Botox must have a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and how to work with these principles to not only make necessary corrections, but also to ensure a sound aesthetic result.
Web reference: http://www.finetouchdermatology.com/los-angeles-botox/
It is not a party if someone gets hurt
Botox parties can be safe if conducted by a board certified plastic surgeon. Too frequently these parties are run by non experts who risk sterility, improper handling of botox, and improper techniques which can lead to a variety of issues up to and including blindness.
Web reference: http://www.drkrisreddy.com/west_palm_beach_botox_palm_beach_gardens_bocaraton.html
Botox Parties
The short answer is "no", Botox parties are not safe (especially if there is not physician). But it depends on what you mean by a "Botox party". If a physician is having a promotional event at their office, but you are still being injected in an exam room under ideal conditions, that is probably okay. The problem when you leave a physician's office, is that many of the controlled variables (lighting, sterility etc...) become uncontrolled. Also, be careful at these parties that they are actually injecting Botox. I have seen cases in Miami where patients had "unknown" things injected in them at people's homes and they had disfiguring outcomes.
Botox parties..the real deal
Botox parties can be safe if staffed by a qualified physician. A couple reasons why botox parties may be a problem:
1. Alcohol may be served and it may cloud the judgement of the patient to get Botox and the amount and location. You can't really consent to anything with alcohol on board.
2. There are other people there so a patient can get pressured to get botox even if she feels she doesn't really want any. The consent process of any procedure is done with the doctor and patient alone.
Something to keep in mind.
Dr Thiagarajah
Botox Party?
'Botox parties' are putting yourself at risk. This is a procedure that you are doing to make yourself look better, so why take ANY risk of it going wrong. Botox in a clinical setting is a safe procedure. In a party setting all bets are off. Most of the time it is done in a salon or home which by no means is a sterile condition. First and foremost....safety fist!!!

Bobby Lagana Jr., is making the trek from Edmonton, Alberta, all the way to Elegant Builders Raceway Park in Lancaster, and he's enjoying the long drive much better due to a very special trophy that is aboard his large transporter that houses his potent Top Fuel dragster.
Lagana emerged victorious this past weekend in the Top Fuel eliminations of the International Hot Rod Association's (IHRA) Mopar Rocky Mountain Nitro Jam Nationals in Edmonton.
During the journey from midwestern Canada to Lancaster, Lagana was to stop off at his team's race shop in Norwalk, Ohio, to load up with more parts mostly clutch related. After a visit with close friends today in nearby LeRoy, he will head to Lancaster for Friday night's "Nitro Night of Fire" match race event against fellow Top Fuel veteran Bruce Litton.
Eventually the winning Edmonton trophy will find its way to Lagana's hometown of Scarsdale, where he will present it to his father, Bobby Lagana Sr.
"My dad had a heart attack about three and a half weeks ago and was in the hospital almost all that time," said the 35-year-old Lagana. "Then he came home but shortly after had to go back into the hospital due to some complications. He is still there and I can't see him right now because being on the road during this busy time of the year doing Top Fuel match racing is my job. When I get home, this trophy is for him. For now the trophy is with me keeping me company."
When Lagana match raced Litton a year ago in Lancaster, a most bizarre incident took place in the second of two scheduled runs that evening. Usually after a Top Fuel team makes a run, they have to go back to their pit area and tear down and rebuild most of the engine, clutch and drive train components. They never attempt to fix a car on track –that is until last year's Lancaster race.
"Bruce had his car break on the burnout with a rear coupler problem," recalled Lagana. "So I staged my dragster and took off when the light went green. I got about 100 feet down the one-eighth mile strip at Lancaster and my throttle cable broke and I coasted down the rest of the track.
"I got backed up to the starting line area and Bruce and I sat there broken. We both felt like we let the fans down. So we decided to get our pit crews out to the starting line and fix both our cars problems right there and make another attempt at the run. No one had ever seen this done in Top Fuel drag racing before. It was truly bizarre."
Both teams repaired there cars, and about 30 minutes later they completed their second runs much to the delight of the crowd.
"I remember when we were trying so hard to fix our cars, Ralph came up to us and said you really don't have to do this if you don't want to but Bruce and I wanted to do it for the fans," said Lagana of the conversation with EBRP promoter Ralph Galluzzi.
"It was a bit risky because these cars are designed for one launch off the starting line and they are not designed to launch twice off the line without going back to the pits for a complete rebuild," he said. "But there was no time other then the quick repair we needed. When I hit the throttle a second time it went okay.
"It's funny but there were a lot of people in the drag racing world who were not at the track that night that heard about our unusual race and at first they thought it was a phony story. When I assured them it happened they couldn't believe it."
Earlier in the evening last year at Lancaster in the first match race run, Lagana made a clean pass hitting 210 miles per hour in 3.48 seconds just missing the Lancaster Top Fuel record of 3.46 at 215. He is seeking to break the record Friday.
"I think we'll try for the record this year without all the unusual drama," he said.
Friday's event at Lancaster will also feature wheel standers, Funny Cars and Pro Mods.
Pit stops
• John Nelson was slightly injured last Saturday at Holland Motorsports Complex during the Race of Champions Modified Series Holland 100 when the Modifieds of Patrick Emerling and Andy Jankowiak were involved in a two car accident on the last lap that launched Emerling's car into the catch fence and starters stand that was manned by ROC chief starter Nelson and assistant flagman Steve Kellogg. During the incident, Kellogg grabbed onto Nelson and prevented him from falling out of the stand.
This week, Nelson released a statement on the incident.
"I'm good, sore with bumps and bruises along with five stitches in my left arm. But, truly thankful my guardian angels were both above and along side me. Steve Kellogg gets 'The ESPN Play of the Day' for that catch of my right arm so I didn't hit the track.
"A sincere thank you and admiration for the EMT's that immediately were on the stand with us and the Holland Fire Department and ambulance services. Those guys were outstanding and I'm lucky they were there to respond and transport.
"Nobody did anything wrong and accidents happen. I'd be more disappointed if either driver wasn't going for the position while coming to the checkers. Thanks again for all you thoughts, prayers, text, etc. Hope to see you all soon back at the track."
• Phil Vigneri Jr., of Elba, claimed his first career Ransomville Speedway 358 Modified feature race victory on July 2.
"It's been 10 years of racing Modifieds since my Sportsman days and they say it takes about 100 races to get your stuff together and I believe it," said Vigneri Jr. "We needed the win. It was long overdue. We earned it. This is a tough game. It's tougher than people think. It's a lot tougher than my Sportsman days. I'm going to enjoy it."

We are trying to get to bottom of a 30270 message and one of steps being asked to do by sap support is clear tomcat cache + webi proc server cache.
Have a couple of questions
1) Are these not cleared automtically when SIA is stopped? - we have 2 nodes in cluster and stop the SIA each night on both nodes to do backup and to astop any possible contention of reports running while ETL running.
2) What impcat would this have generally
3) Whilst will do druing downtime, is this an activity we should regularly schedule or just something to do after a sp upgradee for example.
Any other thoughts/best practice on cache clearing generally.
Hi Philip,
Clearing Tomcat cache mean to clear contents of BOinstalldir\Tomcat\work\catalina\localhost directly. There wont be any impact by clearing these files. To be on safer side you can take a bckp.
Once tomcat starts it will again create a fresh cache.
Restarting SIA wont clear this cache as both Tomcat and SIA are two different services.
Hope this helps.
Sorry missed regarding Webi processing server cache, here you would need to clear contents of BOinstalldir\Business objects enterprise (Environment specific)\Data and here you will a folder named as Web intelligence processing server. Again SIA restart wont delete the contents of this folder.
Hi Sohel,
Thanks for advice.
Any thoughts benefits of clearing these caches regularly?
Assume best to leave system to move stuff in and out of cache as required unless advised like this case to try and resolve problem.
Is it an activity we should do anytime upgrade service pack fro example?
As per my knowledge I would suggest no, unless it is required as clearing the cache could impact the performance of the system. (I am talking about Webi cache).
Tomcat cache also doesnt required to be cleanedup on regular basis.
If its a Wondows environment then I would suggest to keep recycling the server on weekly basis.
Thanks for advice.
Hi Philip,
This could help you
Hi Mani,
Thanks for advice.
Hi Mani,
our install folder is in c:\bo4
Cleared down our c:\bo4\Tomcat6\work\catalina\localhost folder
ie. delete all the sub-folders
but now although Tomcat starts
when type
or http://<server_name>/BOE/CMC
get status 500.
We hva ebackup of folder localhost before clered it down,
Make sure you leave BOBJ alone for 15min span while the files are being deployed
Thanks for replies.
I didn't realise took a while - was thinking this would be instant.
Hi Philip,
Check if the XMLs are present under location. tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost
Open Tomcat properties > Java tab > Java class path and check if you have following jars present in the specified locations.
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\sapjvm\lib\tools.jar
Try to run wedeploy tool and use deployall command, it will generate all the xmls.
Hope this helps.
Can confirm all now O.K.
Took a while for the jar filles to appear in the work folder.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Hipster, Funky, Mod, Retro / Vintage
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I love this blouse, just not on me! I made this particular blouse with the idea of it being a wearable muslin, but I wanted to see how the pattern finished before I fiddled with doing any pattern adjustments. I am not sure that the shaping of the garment is for the shapely. I am an hourglass figure with a high waist, which is where the release pleats release their fullness at the front - leaving me with no real waist to see at the front between my full bust. I think the view is better from the back. Also, the bust dart is too high for my bust apex (and finished half way off my breast rather than in the middle), so if I made this pattern again I'd probably try and fiddle with where to place the dart for a slightly better fit. These things being said, the course was very well done (these are fitting issues and not a problem the pattern). It is probably more basic than I needed (I've sewn quite a lot of women's and children's wear - though mostly knits), but it was nice to go through the basics and see that I'd got them right according to our instructor ;) . Even if you don't think you'll get much wear out of the style, I would certainly recommend this course to someone who is just beginning to venture into sewing their own wardrobe and wants a little hand-holding along the way. As many other course participants have said, it would be great to have course notes (steps particuarly) provided as well so that you don't have to go through all the videos if you want to have another go at the pattern. I'm still debating whether or not to try the 2nd version of this pattern (with the pin tucks)...I think I'd need to tip the waist and hip upside down (flare at the hip, nip in at the waist), to make this something I would feel flatters me.
It looks great, love the fabric!

13 Ways Michael Jackson's Legacy Lives On After His Death
Originally posted 06/25/2014 08:30AM
It's been five years since the King of Pop passed away, and like the medieval regents of old, the years after his death have seen his kingdom divided up between a number of warring claimants.
But the former king's influence is still felt all across the pop-music landscape. Below, read just 13 ways Michael Jackson's legacy is still with fans today.

Despite reports that Debbie Rowe, 55, is now seeking custody of Michael Jackson's three kids, a source close to the family says the children's grandmother, Katherine Jackson, who currently shares guardianship of Prince, 17, Paris, 16, and Blanket, 12, with their cousin T.J.

The late singer's mother, Katherine, has penned a letter to his fans on fundanything.com requesting their financial support to help reach a $3.2 million goal to complete the nearly finished documentary Remembering Michael.
She described the film as a "tribute documentary film project that Michael's children Paris, Prince, Blanket and I have been working on for years," she wrote. "Our goal with this film is to share a positive, loving and respectful tribute to Michael, who spent his entire life sharing his gifts with the great hope of making the world a better place."

"He's really great. He's a good kid. He makes wonderful grades," she said Tuesday night at her debut in the off-Broadway show NEWSical.

Are Women Allowed to Work in Islam?
It is a shame that in the twenty-first century, we have become so motivated by the media that we believe everything it says. We have become so lazy that we would rather gulp down fast answers than to look for answers ourselves. It is quite regrettable that such questions arise.
Our Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) came to this world at a time when morality had degraded to the point that female children were buried alive because they were thought of as a burden. Our Prophet (SAWS) changed that, called it wrong and established women's rights more firmly in this world compared to any other religion. Islam can proudly call itself the fairest religion on earth. In Allah's (SWT) own words: "O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his mate, and from this pair scattered (like seeds) countless men and women. Reverence Allah, through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and reverence the wombs (that bore you); for Allah ever watches over you." ( Quran 4, verse 1). Thus, we can see that men and women have mutual rights, twin rights, in fact. A woman has rights exactly like those of a man. She has to meet different obligations. The rules of modesty are also different but they should, in no way, hinder her from achieving whatever she wants to achieve.
As long as she adheres strictly to Islamic values of dignity and modesty, is honest and sincere and chaste, she may do as she pleases. A woman has every right to work outside the house, irrespective of need. Some people have said that women may only work if there is a need. This is not true, a woman may work if she wants. If she can manage both the work at her home and outside, without compromising the needs of her family, she may work as long as she wants every day. This is not to say that she is bound to stay indoors until all her work at home has been completed. In fact, if she has a good understanding with her husband or other people at home who are ready to fill in for her, the roles of bread-winner may as well be reversed. However, the role reversal is not much encouraged in Islam because the burden of winning bread must almost invariably lie on the man. A man in Islam is not allowed to laze about. It is his duty to provide for and nurture the woman who he has married. So we can effectively understand that Islam is, in reality, harsher towards man and gentler towards women.
In Islam, every woman is to be treated like a queen and not just by her husband, but by every man. The hijab is to protect her from unwanted gazes, not everyone may gaze upon the queen whenever they wish. If a woman is chaste in her intentions and actions, then Islam provides a woman with all the freedom to whatever she pleases.

Is there a manner to use e-mail addresses with special characters with the System.Net.Mail.MailAddress class?
For example françois.démontè@test.com.
Because mostly you get an System.FormatException:
System.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
at System.Net.Mime.MailBnfHelper.ReadMailAddress(String data, Int32& offset, String& displayName)
at System.Net.Mail.MailAddress.ParseValue(String address)
at System.Net.Mail.MailAddress..ctor(String address, String displayName, Encoding displayNameEncoding)
Someone a solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Answer 1
Try this:
new MailAddress("françois.démontè@test.com","françois démontè", Encoding.Default)
or switch it to Encoding.Unicode
Answer 2
This is definitely a tricky part.
I set as value for the To address françois.démontè@test.com and my real address and I receive the mail (at my real inbox), but there is just one address in the To field and that is my real address.
So I can't control the accomplishment of the mail sent to françois.démontè@test.com.
I want to test it with a real address but I can't create one at my mailhost with those characters.
One good thing is that there are no exceptions are thrown.
Answer 3
Welcome to MSDN Forums!
I think you need use this
Encoding Class to change the string
format, and then use it in the constructor.
string s = "test string";
string utf8_string = [dest Encoding].GetString([original Encoding].GetBytes(s));
The third parameter is used to encoding the display name not the email address.
MailAddress Constructor (String, String, Encoding)
Can you share your code? We want to know your method. If you put the email address in the constructor directly or after change the encoding?
Thank you.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Have a nice weekend!

What I meant was, I run newfs twice - once with the tag set to
unassigned and another time set to swap. The partition could be mounted
in both cases, implying the tag name is not that important.

Irish bond yields fall below key 6% figure
Published 22/08/2012
The "yield" or interest rate that investors demand to hold long-term IOUs from the Irish government has dropped below 6% for the first time since October 2010.
The yield on nine-year Irish government bonds dropped to 5.96% yesterday, falling below the psychologically important 6% line for the first time in almost two years and to pre-bailout levels.
That rate - or borrowing cost - is the most closely watched measure of Ireland's credibility in the markets.
The falling borrowing costs is a sign that investors are happy to hold the IOUs and boosts the chances of making a full return to the markets when the bailout is complete at the end of next year.
The news comes after the National Treasury Management Agency, which manages the country's debt, said last night that it will issue new style "amortising" bonds, and after the state raised €5bn on the markets in July.
