Reducing greenhouse gases from livestock by less belching from the cattle may be a human interest story, but it is not where the most reductions can be made. Not by a jugful, so to speak.
Greenhouse gas reductions from milk cows, for example, can be more effectively made by producing more milk from fewer cows; and that is what dairy farmers have been doing for years. In the process, they have also changed feeding practices that have lowered emissions from burping, a part of the rumen digestive process.
Studies done by researchers at Cornell University and others indicate improved efficiency of the U.S. dairy production has increased milk yield four-fold through improved genetics, nutrition and management. Fad diets of dairy cattle, promoted by some, are not practical answers to more milk from each cow. They may, in fact, result in less milk and lower efficiency, resulting in the need for more cows to produce the milk needed in our country and the world.
Dairy farmers have made dramatic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from their livestock by greater efficiency. Back in the mid-1940s, we had about 25 million cows in the U.S. producing 117 billion pounds of milk. Looking at 2007, U.S dairy farmers produced 186 billion pounds of milk from just 9.2 million cows. Think about that. Forty percent more milk from 66 percent fewer cows. Combining 66 percent fewer cows with improved nutrition and the resulting reduction in greenhouse gases or carbon footprint is tremendous.
Looking at improvements another way, the carbon footprint, a measure of greenhouse gases, per gallon of milk produced has been reduced 66 percent since 1944. To further reduce the carbon footprint to get this milk to market, our cooperatives work with processors to transport milk to the nearest market where and when it is needed, resulting in less distance whenever possible. This is not easy because the way we use dairy products varies during the week and the seasons.
A 2006 report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations critically reported that the livestock sector (all livestock in the world including sheep, goats and buffalo) caused 18 percent more greenhouse gasses than the entire transportation industry. This seemed hard to believe.
But we need to look at different societies around the world. In the U.S., we have about 97 million cattle, including dairy and beef, and another nine million sheep and goats. That is just three percent of all the rumen animals around the world. Some countries, such as India, which has more than 283 million cattle and buffalo and 182 million sheep and goats, are far greater contributors to our carbon footprint that the U.S.
Overall, according to an EPA report, livestock in the U.S. accounted for only 2.2 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. in 2005. We need to look at other ways to reduce emissions, such as more efficient cars and trucks, smaller homes and changing our maintenance of lawns and golf courses.
Lets give credit to our dairy and other livestock farmers for the contributions they have been making to our environment and food supply for many years. Some dairy feeding programs, such as all using all grasses and no grain, result in 30 to 50 percent less milk from each cow. While some folks want dairy products from grass-fed cows, and that's O.K., it would take two to four times more animals to provide our milk supply if all farmers fed their cows that diet.
It is interesting to note that we do have a small group of mostly Amish dairy farmers in the Geauga and Ashtabula County area that follow all grass-fed practices. Their milk is processed and sold by the Middlefield Original Cheese Cooperative on Route 87 in Middlefield.

The first official poll released following the formal election campaign kickoff shows the Liberals and the PQ are tied in terms of voter support — though the PQ would still win a slim majority.
The poll was conducted yesterday by Forum Research on Wednesday, and it shows both the Liberals and the PQ would each win about 40 per cent of the vote, while the CAQ would win about 10 per cent. The other parties are well into the single digits.
Figures like those would mean the PQ would win a slim majority over the Liberals.
In the most recent poll from Léger Marketing released Wednesday morning, the PQ stood to win a far more comfortable majority, with 37 per cent of the popular vote to the Liberals' 35 per cent.

NEW YORK (AP) - Lleyton Hewitt's fighting spirit has helped him become a Grand Slam champion and the world's top-ranked player. It also gets him into trouble.
He's been fined for yelling at linesmen, lost a point for throwing a ball near an official and was criticized for what was perceived as a racially influenced outburst during a match in last year's U.S. Open.
Away from the court, though, Hewitt can be affable and even shy, seeming very little like the brash player who wears a backward baseball cap and peppers his matches with shouts of "Come on!"
He's the defending champion and seeded first at the U.S. Open, which starts today. Neither Hewitt nor Venus Williams, who is trying to become the first woman to win three straight U.S. Opens since Chris Evert took four in a row from 1975-78, plays on the opening day.
Top matches Monday include Williams' younger sister, top-ranked Serena, against Corina Morariu, who'll be playing her first Grand Slam match since returning to the tour after fighting leukemia for more than a year.
Others playing Monday include two-time Open champion Andre Agassi, fourth-seeded Lindsay Davenport and French Open winner Albert Costa.
Hewitt can't wait to get on court. His first-round match is against 103rd-ranked Frenchman Nicolas Coutelot.
"I love competition and I love getting out there, working hard," Hewitt said. "To come out and compete in the toughest environments, especially the U.S. Open, it's sort of what I put my mind to."
Hewitt wears down opponents by chasing down everything that comes across the net. He just never stops. It's superb defensive tennis, highlighted by a fantastic return and complemented by an improving serve. Last month that package made him the first baseliner to win Wimbledon since Agassi in 1992.
"I love the Grand Slams, and you don't need much motivation to get up for them," Hewitt said.

As you think about your goals today you may feel excited about what the future might hold for you. Perhaps because you realize that everything is possible, you could feel that you can achieve anything, and this sense of excitement could be what is contributing to your positive frame of mind. Visualizing your future as something that is filled with all of your dreams today can help you focus on your dreams. As you imagine your future life, try to think about every detail. Even though your future may not manifest itself in terms of every aspect you think of, setting your intention lets the universe know what you truly hope for and could pave the way for you to attain your goals more successfully.
Creating a complete picture of our future allows us to put positive energy into the universe. The moment we envision something that we want, the universe responds to us but not always in the way we wish it to. If we make our intention as thorough as possible and with a pure and complete heart, however, we may find that the universe could respond to us in the same way, giving us what we ask for in a package that best matches our desires and needs. Being positive and convinced that your plan of the future will be blessed and taken care of by the universe will set into motion events that will make it easier for you to realize your dreams today.

Cornwall Borough police said a 77-year-old woman has lost more than $100,000 since last summer to phony sweepstakes scams.
The woman's family contacted police on Friday to report the loss.
Investigators said scammers convinced the woman she had to pay a variety of taxes, shipping, delivery and processing fees in order to receive her winnings.
She provided the money through the use of green dot MoneyPak cards and direct shipments of cash, police said.

Drug use during pregnancy, which in the United States is estimated at 1 million individuals each year,1 puts the newborn at increased risk for multiple adverse health outcomes. While the deleterious effects of alcohol, and to a lesser extent nicotine, to the fetus are well recognized, those of illicit drugs are much less understood. Drugs can harm the fetus both via effects to the placenta interfering with nutrient delivery and through direct effects to the fetus. Moreover, the high lipophilicity of drugs ensures that significant concentrations reach the fetus' brain and other organs.2 Thus, the consequences of fetal drug exposure on brain development and function, and ultimately on behavior, constitute an important area of research.

Featured Golf News
Links as Labs Program a Success
Students from a Garfield High School environmental science class are all looking up at the big nest in a tall fir tree next to a par-3 at Broadmoor Golf Club in Seattle. A bald eagle is staring back at them, watching their every move.
"Usually there are two around the nest this time of year," said Broadmoor superintendent Sean McDonough. "Which means what?"
The kids have figured it out even before McDonough supplies the answer: "Mating."
Welcome to Links as Labs, a program started in 1997 by the First Green Foundation in conjunction with golf course superintendents. Links as Labs is an innovative environmental outreach program that brings high-school students to golf courses to test ground water, take soil samples, view wildlife and learn about their ecological surroundings.
In conjunction with First Green president Bill Meyer, Spokane Country Club superintendent Jeff Gullikson started Links as Labs. It struck Gullikson as a win-win for everyone involved.
"Teachers can apply what they teach in the classroom, students love to get out of school, and superintendents get to show what we do," Gullikson said.
Since the program began, more than 127 schools and 8,000 students have participated across the state. "The best thing about the program is that we get to show kids that golf courses are good for the environment," said Glendale Country Club superintendent Steve Kealy.
Interlake (Bellevue, Wash.) High teacher Lynn McKay regularly takes her environmental science classes to Kealy's course. Students have helped redesign the banks of Kelsey Creek, planted annuals and hung flower baskets at Glendale.
"It's a different classroom, there aren't four walls," McKay said. "It's fabulous, it's like this wonderful place to play on, to learn on. It's such a cool thing to get students out in what is basically a big park. It's a valuable learning experience for the kids. I've never had a kid who has not enjoyed it and learned a lot."
Links as Labs takes McDonough back in time to his childhood home in Boring, Ore., where he lived on Mountain View Golf Club. He saw the maintenance crew and thought he'd like to work on a course someday. At the time, he was taking science classes, and Links as Labs brings it all together for him. McDonough studied in the turfgrass management program at Oregon State and worked at Persimmon in Portland, the Resort at Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, Tacoma Golf and Country Club and Useless Bay on Whidbey Island (Wash.) before becoming Broadmoor superintendent in 2004.
"It's an opportunity for students to work with superintendents to see the benefits of golf in general, and we can show how and why golf courses are beneficial to the environment," McDonough said.
He used Broadmoor as an example. If the golf course didn't exist, McDonough speculated that a strip mall filled with business and asphalt would be here. That would be ecologically damaging to Lake Washington, further polluting its waters. But Broadmoor, with its 123 acres, acts as a huge environmental filter between Lake Washington and the 315 homes in the neighborhood.
McDonough is about to lead the Garfield students around his course. But they've got to finish their lunch first. That's another fun thing about Links as Labs at Broadmoor - free pizza and pop.
At Spokane Country Club, Gullikson cultivates junior golfers by letting them hit balls. "Most golfers pick up the game in high school," he said. "It's broken down some barriers."
Gullikson puts 15 flags on a green 150 yards away and tells them if they can get a hole-in-one on any of the holes, he will give them a free set of clubs. No one has made a hole-in-one yet, but someday someone will. Either way "it's a day they're going to remember," he said.
Gullikson estimates that he has spoken to more than 100 teachers and taken 50 to 60 classes on tours of his course. Students at Spokane Country Club use computers that measure evaporation and inform the superintendents when watering is required. They also learn that maintenance crews check soil moisture all day long.
"Students learn what golf courses are and what they're not," Gullikson said. "There's a perception that we contaminate water and over-fertilize and over-irrigate."
It's simply not true. Technology helps superintendents gauge what's needed. They don't gorge their courses, they spoon-feed them and consequently benefit the environment.
At Broadmoor, students follow McDonough to a retention pond from Lake Washington that is used to irrigate the course. They test the water and found no nitrates. It's a positive sign. "They're doing a good job of keeping the water uncontaminated," said Courtland Jimerson, a sophomore in Heather Snookel's Garfield environmental science class. "Fish could live there."
Nnabueze Njoku, a junior in Snookel's class, appreciates learning the names of trees. Field trips like these reinforce what she's learning in class. "It's a good application of what we're trying to teach," said Stephanie Durrant, who is teaching Snookel's class while Snookel takes maternity leave. "We get to do science in nature, which is really exciting."

He's a 51-year-old 12-handicapper with a pair of 4-year-old sons who love golf, too.

I Am Alive Review
Despite the flaws I Am Alive is an easy game to like. But while we should be glad this project wasn't killed off in development hell, the sad truth is that I Am Alive never gets a chance to live.
Forget the shots of crumbled buildings and the menace of merciless raiders. Ubisoft's I Am Alive was almost a disaster story in itself, with its lengthy development, plagued by difficulties, saved from its own apocalypse with a last-minute switch to digital. It's all the better for it, too, as an affordable download is definitely the best form to showcase this intriguing but flawed experience.
Perhaps befitting the cataclysmic tone, this is a title that feels like a rickety train going too fast down dangerous tracks, falling to pieces the further it gets. Haverton, a fictional chunk of the USA, serves as the destroyed home for an entirely oppressive game. It's an environment explicitly designed to be caustic, where an apocalyptic event - dubbed ambiguously as The Event - causes the world to go all belly up and forces the fractured pockets of humanity into a struggle for survival.
And struggle you will, as I Am Alive makes few concessions to its players. You will die, reload, and restart on a regular basis, especially if you're ballsy enough to pick the game's resource-challenged Survivor difficulty. This is a game that thrives by displaying the dour tones of its Game Over screen, and while that can be frustrating there's always some satisfaction from your Ray Mearsian attempts at conquering these gruelling environments.
While it features many similar mechanics to that of Ubisoft's other climbing-heavy titles, I Am Alive is the anathema to Assassin's Creed. You struggle where Ezio Auditore could soar, which is challenging when much of the game is in calmbering, shuffling and shimmying across this broken wasteland, and if your rapidly depleting stamina bar runs out of juice you'll likely plunge to a miserable demise. You can catch your breath mid-ascent by plonking down a climbing piton, but like everything in the game's world these are few and far between. For the most part you'll just be holding on for dear life and racing against the clock to reach the next available resting spot.
Plumes of thick sand obstruct much of your view of the outside, meaning for a large chunk of the time you can't even see the grainy, desaturated aesthetic that makes up most of the game. This world of tumbledown concrete and twisted, splayed girders is clearly channelling the grim spirit of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, as opposed to the more explosive postapocalyptia we've seen in recent months. Your first reaction is to hide, rather than beat your chest and rule the newfound wasteland, and in a medium rife with superheroes and highscores, Ubisoft's attempt to make its player character feel weak, desperate and tested is an admirable goal.
There are overtones of survival horror running through the entire game, with the fog and the map in particular reminiscent of the original Silent Hill. The comparison is one of mechanics rather than content, however, and players are forced to scavenge the environment for a limited supply of items such as water bottles, food cans and first aid kits.

Hats Off to Pregnant Victoria Beckham in 5-Inch HeelsMeredith Carroll
I guess someone's got to make a statement that all pregnant women don't waddle around in flip flops for nine months. Thank God for Victoria Beckham, because it sure wasn't going to be me.
Up until late last week I thought I was a contender for one of those I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant Until This Seven-Pound Baby Fell Out of My Vagina When I Stepped Out of My Car shows on basic cable. But at 26 weeks pregnant, I have finally decided that I feel very much pregnant. As such, the very last thing you'll spot on my feet is anything with a number that precedes the word "inch heels." It's flats all the way from here until delivery day for me.
Victoria Beckham, on the other hand, knows about a little thing called fashion and isn't letting it get in the way of looking good.
The 37-year-old mom of three sons is expecting her first daughter in July and apparently wants to ingrain in her early on that being a slave to looking good doesn't stop just because you're knocked up.
She was just spotted in a Los Angeles park in five-inch Christian Louboutin black heels while her family was kicking around a soccer ball.
Hats (and shoes) off to her: better her than me.
Can you handle heel during your pregnancy?

Volume 1 ( Winchester City District)
Page 259 - Southwick and Widley
|Previous page (Volume 1, Page 258)
|Next page (Volume 1, Page 261)
The Parish of Southwick and Widley was formed in 1932, and comprises the two formerly separate parishes of Southwick, and Widley.
Southwick first seems to be mentioned in 1133, when Henry I founded a priory at Portchester which included lands at Southwick and which actually moved there between 1145 and 1153. This land, together with additions in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries from the de Boarhunt family, became the manor of Southwick and remained with the priors until the Dissolution when it was granted to the Earl of Southampton. After this the manor changed hands several times, belonging among others to the White family and the Nortons, and eventually, in 1733 became the property of the Thiselthwayte family.
Belanney Manor at Southwick can be traced back to Domesday. It was held by the de Belanneys and the Mauduits and others before passing into the hands of the Whites, whence its history follows that of Southwich Manor.
The estate at Wanstead was first called a manor in 1495 when it belonged to the Dawtry family. The Maryner, Plowden, White and Norton families became successive owners until the property was evidently bought up by the Thistlewaytes in the mid-eighteenth century.
At the Domesday Survey, Widley Manor was held by Hugh de Port. It was occupied by various tenants until the Uvedale family took possession. In 1605 they were deprived of it, on account of their recusancy, but recovered it two years later. It enjoyed several changes of ownership after this until it was sold to the Thiselwaytes in 1823. In 1715 the Manor of Widley was granted a three day fair but this activity was ordered to cease in 1862.

Each week, Coltzilla will scour the net for team rankings from football experts covering the previous week, and discuss them from the fan's perspective.
Average Ranking: 31.38 (previously 31.13) – About as close to the bottom as you can get, and looking at the rest of the Colts' 2011 schedule, this isn't going to get any easier.
CBS Sports – Pete Prisco – 32nd (no change): OK, it's time. Just give the MVP to Peyton Manning. Can one man mean that much? Yes, Pete. He can – when he's the greatest to ever play the position. I recently heard Colin Cowherd say that Manning was 'the most valuable' while Brady was 'the best'. He then when on to say more stupid stuff.
ESPN – Kuharsky – 32nd (no change): No matter how professional coaches and players are, things are bound to start to come apart. (Kuharsky) That applies to fans too, Paul. Between the 'Fire Caldwell', 'Fire Polian', and 'Suck for Luck' crowds, there's not much intelligent discussion going on in Indy these days.
Fox Sports – 32nd (-1): This goes beyond just the loss of Peyton Manning. There are several teams at the bottom of this list without a quarterback that would not have lost to the Saints 62-7. Can't argue with this. We're witnessing a perfect storm of sorts, and it's not fun.
WEEI in Boston – 32nd (no change): Whether Jeff Saturday said it or not, the Colts were 'out-coached', and have major issues. We knew the Colts were going to be bad without Peyton Manning, but it's been surprising to see how hard this team has fallen. The defense has been horrendous. Freeney and Mathis haven't been the dominant players we are used to seeing. Seven weeks into the season, the Colts are allowing 32 points-per-game. Jeff definitely said it. Sounds like Caldwell said it too, and Jeff was merely repeating it. Either way, poor coaching – no matter how bad – can't account for the poor play by the players actually on the field.
Pro Football Talk – 30th (no change): Don't be shocked if Jim Irsay gets rid of everyone except Peyton Manning. I don't see Jim Irsay as the type who would start over in Peyton's final run. They'll make some tweaks, but I expect to see Caldwell and both Polians next year.
Sports Illustrated – Don Banks – 32nd (no change): I'm really not much of a conspiracy theorist — I even buy the single-bullet theory — but it does make for a nice, neatly wrapped package that the Colts happen to have the worst record in the NFL and Bill Polian's son, Brian, happens to be a Stanford assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. Not that you need an inside source to know that Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck is the guy to go with atop next April's draft. Pffft.
Walter Football – 30th (no change): Beloved GameCenter poster and Colts fan Taton was spazzing out during his team's 62-7 loss to the Colts: [Ed: Click the link to read more]
Yahoo Sports – 31st (-1): The Colts packed it in. What else can you say after a 62-7 loss? Sorry, not buying it.

NEW YORK -- She was the first pure love of Eric Bana's life and the relationship lasted for 25 beautiful, exciting, temperamental years. Then came the accident.
"Mortally wounded," the star says with a sad shake of his head. "Leaking fluids. Needs an IV. May be time for the paddles."
And so his cherry-red'73 Ford Falcon XB -- Bana's first car and one he crashed in the 2007 Targa Tasmania road race -- currently sits in his Australian garage, near death.
But that doesn't mean she's finished with him yet.
Because this muscle-car still spurred Bana to make "Love the Beast," an idiosyncratic documentary about her (and the endless hours he and his mates spent under her hood).
And the time he spent filming that made him pass up some big-movie leads -- which took the actor straight into a juicy supporting role in outer space, as the villain in Friday's new "Star Trek."
In the hotly anticipated re-boot, Bana is Nero, a tattooed Romulan bent on revenge -- and with a particular grudge against young Spock. Yet while his character is fully in the series' tradition of brilliant bad guys, Bana says it's the story's optimism that appealed.
"There was a genuine, non-corny positivity that was real, and worth celebrating," he says, taking time out from screenings of his doc at the Tribeca Film Festival. "These kind of big summer movies have gotten so dark over the last five years; they're based on comic-book characters or whatever but you've got to tell your 10-year-old boy he can't see them. So it was nice being part of something that wasn't going to be one of those -- although I have to say I do enjoy the dark tales."
He must. In a very select film career, Bana, 40, has still racked up a list of pretty serious, and often somber, credits. "Black Hawk Down," "Hulk," "Troy," "The Other Boleyn Girl," "Munich" -- not a lot of laughs in those. Or in the first film that really grabbed people's attention, "Chopper," in which he played a vicious, real-life Australian criminal.
Which is all pretty funny, considering that the first half of Bana's performing career was spent -- well, being funny. Stand-up gigs. TV sketch comedy. Celebrity impressions (check out his painfully accurate jabs at Tom Cruise and Orlando Bloom on YouTube sometime). Not the usual training for a "serious" actor.
"I sort of came into this," he admits, "through a side door."
It didn't lead from a mansion, either. Bana was born in a slightly scruffy suburb of Melbourne, the youngest son of a German-emigre hairdresser and a Croatian-born manager at Caterpillar (the family name is actually Banadinovic). He was mad for sports and machines; school was another thing entirely.
"I didn't have any idea of becoming an actor," he says. "But I used to do a lot of stupid impressions of teachers and other students and it became a sort of currency to get me out of trouble. I began to realize, in my late teens, that there was something to it, and it was something I could do well. And that was very attractive."
Still, Bana didn't see it as a career. He liked cars and figured he'd end up being a mechanic; he flirted with dropping out of school and getting some job at a garage. But his father talked him out of it.
"Then one day a friend took me to a standup comedy venue," he says. "And the people onstage, except for maybe one guy, were hopeless. And they were all getting paid! So I thought, well, this is an outrage. This is a complete injustice. They're not funny and they're getting paid. And my mate said, 'Well then, why don't you do it?'"
A week later, Bana was climbing onstage.
"And it went pretty well and everything just started from there," he says. "Pretty soon I was working as a professional standup. Then I started doing sketch comedy on TV.. I had this career and I had no idea how it had happened."
It was a solid career too, branching out into comic films, live shows and his own TV special -- but none of it ever quite got outside Australia's borders. Which, Bana thinks now, was all to the good.
"The advantage I think (Australian actors) have is that, usually, no one in America sees us starting out," he says. "If you'd seen me in my first year of performing, I might never have gotten the opportunities I had here. We get to build up a body of work first. Also, since we are unfamiliar, there are no preconceived notions. None of my comedy had been seen here, so no one had formed any idea of what I could or couldn't do."
They had some ideas in Australia, or thought they had, which made Bana as crazed career criminal Mark "Chopper" Read seem like an odd choice at best in that 2000 movie.
"People thought it was going to be a farce, literally," he says. "So it was a huge leap of faith casting me in that. But it wasn't a leap for me because I knew I could do it. I was quite cocky about it, actually. But I don't put a lot of barriers in front of myself. If I think I can do something, I go for it, and I knew this was an opportunity lying in wait. The only scary thing was knowing it might never come round again."
The picture was a hit in Australia, and opened doors in America. But, Bana says, "that sort of thing is very short-lived -- it's got a shelf-life, that kind of success, and if you don't start doing more good work, it's all going to evaporate."
He looked hard to find it. He was Hoot in "Black Hawk Down" -- "an overwhelming, incredible shoot" -- then signed on to play Bruce Banner in Ang Lee's 2003 version of "Hulk." That was, apparently, an overwhelming shoot too -- but in a barely tolerable way.
"It wasn't a fun movie to make," he says. "Look, whether you have fun on a movie or not really stems from your director, and that was a difficult movie for Ang to make. It wasn't a lighthearted set or the most fun experience for the actors. But I have a lot of respect for him as a filmmaker. I thought it was extremely different from anything we'd seen in that genre -- in some ways I think it was one of the first of those films that had that darkness I was talking about. So it was exciting to be a part of, later. But it wasn't a fun shoot."
More enjoyable was "Troy," with its mammoth sets and all-star cast ("a genuine, epic experience -- I don't think I'll ever get the chance to work on a film of that size again"). And Bana had the best time ever on -- of all things -- "Munich," Steven Spielberg's despairing study of the massacre at the '72 Olympics, and the team the Israeli government dispatched to track down, and execute, the terrorists.
"I think that was our coping mechanism really, all of us," he says. "The subject matter was very heavy -- and we were committed to that -- but in between takes we kept things very light. I think we had to, really, or we would have gone insane. So it was a very fun set, very easy -- and also very collaborative, very meaningful, everything you'd want.. It was hard, really, when that one ended. That character stayed with me for awhile; it was like living with a ghost. But that happens sometimes, after a picture. It's like you're mourning something."
Not that Bana spends his months between pictures wandering his Melbourne house, talking to cinematic spirits. He's been happily married since 1997 to Rebecca Gleeson, a former publicist; they have a 10-year-old boy, Klaus, and an 8-year-old girl, Sophia. Bana still has the same friends he grew up with, and they still gather in the garage to work on cars.
"It's not a conscious thing," he says of the friendships he's held on to. "It's just, they're my mates, and they're my mates forever.. Of course, it takes more effort, once you get married, to stay in touch. It's definitely harder with this job, too, because there are large chunks of the year when I'm not home. But I feel that, and I put some effort into those relationships because I hold them very dear."
Although Bana's priorities have meant he doesn't work nearly as much as some other actors -- trying to stick to one film a year, and spend as much time home as possible -- this summer is practically a mini-festival for fans. First there's "Star Trek," opening Friday. Then, on July 31, he has a small part in Judd Apatow's "Funny People." Then the sci-fi romance, "The Time Traveler's Wife" -- with Bana starring as a temporally-unstuck librarian -- follows on August 14.
All very different projects. Yet they all started the same way -- with the blueprint of a script.
"The script is your starting point, and if the character's not there, you're really pushing it all uphill," Bana says. "But if it's there, then what comes next -- the prep time, the researching -- is something I really enjoy.. For example, in 'Star Trek,' right from the first draft, I could see that Nero was going to be interesting. You see him come on screen, and you say, 'OK, I can see why he's pissed off and wants to destroy the galaxy!' You're like, 'Well, Spock, you've got your work cut out for you here, mate!' And that really raises the stakes. That's what I look for. Not that you like the fellow. But that you understand him."

2nd Quarter 2014 Commentary - ASTON/DoubleLine Core Plus Fixed Income Fund
2nd Quarter 2014
Risk assets continued to appreciate, along with US Treasury bond prices, during the second quarter, as domestic corporations engaged in a series of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). A continued low-interest rate environment, suppressed risk premia overseas, slow growth in demand, record corporate profitability, record levels of cash holdings by the corporate sector, and the interaction of all these factors were all likely contributors to rising equity prices and a robust bond market. M&A monthly deal volumes above the $150 billion mark that have been common during the year are reminiscent of the heady levels of 2007. Although being long risk has been the position to be thus far in 2014, economic indicators could be interpreted as suggesting quite different positioning.
Revised data released in June showed real U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted at a 2.90% annualized rate during the first quarter. Consumption growth was significantly below preliminary estimates, and a decline in investment trimmed nearly 2% from growth alone. The headline unemployment figure continued to fall finishing the quarter at 6.1%, but the proportion of workers considered "under employed" was unchanged for the quarter at 6.0% of the labor force. The combined rate of those unemployed or underemployed of 12.1% remains highly elevated relative to levels seen before the Great Recession. Add in a labor force participation rate reminiscent of the late 1970s and the labor market does not look as robust as depicted by the headline unemployment rate alone, though 816,000 jobs added in total offered something of a silver lining. June's Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes suggest the Fed Governors are cognizant of many of these (and other) weaknesses that continue to permeate the economy so many years after the official end of the Great Recession, and the tone regarding future rate increases remains quite dovish. Low levels of inflation corroborate this plan of action. What remains to be seen, however, is if the economic data will eventually substantiate the bull market that continues mostly unabated.
The eurozone economy remains extremely sluggish, supporting the European Central Bank's (ECB) additional easing policies during the quarter. Consumer prices grew by just 0.5% for the 12-months ending June, less than half the ECB's 2.0% target. Consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in June, with ECB data indicating that lending to companies and households fell for the 25th straight month in May.
EM Leads the Way Again
The Fund outperformed its Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index benchmark during the quarter. Despite the doom and gloom coming into the year, fixed income markets have performed quite well. Emerging Markets (EM) was the standout area for the Fund, as credit spreads tightened due to a flattening yield curve. The sector's allocation to mainly European and Latin American debt, which were the best performers during the period, helped to boost returns. Residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) were the second best performing sector as declining US 10-year Treasury yields aided longer duration Agency MBS, particularly fixed-rate commercial mortgage obligations (CMO) and pass-through securities. Non-Agency MBS also experienced price gains as housing fundamentals continued to improve across the credit quality spectrum, and contributed strong interest income. Corporate Credit, both the Investment Grade and High Yield sectors, performed well as credit spreads tightened and default rates remain close to historical lows. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) experienced total return gains as credit spreads broadly tightened over the period and demand remained high for legacy and new issue product. Bank Loans and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) lagged behind the other sectors within the portfolio, though returns were still positive.
Emerging Markets broadly rallied as mixed-to-improving economic data from developed nations combined with broad policies from global central banks to maintain low interest rates. EM corporate debt spreads tightened as investors continued to pour cash into the space in an apparent search for higher yielding assets. The sector overall gained 4.76% during the quarter, with the bulk of that performance coming in May. Sovereign bonds outperformed both Corporate and local bonds.
The second quarter was characterized by the rise of a number of geopolitical crises within Emerging Markets. From the headline-grabbing Russian buildup of troops along the Ukrainian border to the May ouster of the elected Thai government by the nation's military, the surprise June attack and rapid gains made by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) across much of western Iraq, to the widening strike paralyzing much of South Africa. Each of these situations remains extremely fluid, though broader markets have calmed after initial spikes in volatility.
In Latin America, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a final appeal by Argentina against a lower court ruling that it had to pay holdout creditors in a nearly decade-long legal saga. Initially it appeared that President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's government would attempt to transfer current holders of Argentinean New York-law debt into local-law debt in an effort to circumvent the U.S. court's ruling, but fairly recent indications have emerged that the government may be nearing a settlement with holdout creditors. Argentina's debt performed strongly during the quarter in anticipation of some sort of resolution to the saga. Many eyes were also on neighboring Brazil, host of this summer's World Cup, and its economic and political woes. Brazil continued to undershoot its primary deficit goal of -1.9%, and some investors have looked favorably upon center-left President Dilma Rousseff fading below 40% in recent polls.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
MBS outperformed US Treasuries by a healthy margin during the quarter. The yield curve exhibited bull flattener behavior as the long end of the curve tightened while rates on the front end were essentially unchanged. The longer duration (sensitivity to changes in interest rates) in the MBS sector was a driver of the outperformance with rates low and central banks dovish, but technical factors also weighed in as demand continued to exceed supply. Longer duration bonds priced off the long end of the yield curve benefited the most, with 30-year collateral outperforming 15-year collateral and lower coupons faring better than higher coupon bonds.
Agency MBS issuance grew during the period. The increase in issuance coincided with the Fed continuing to taper its asset purchase program, and formally revealing in June that it aims to conclude the program by October 2014. According to Fed officials, the ending of the purchase program is no indication that the first interest rate hike will be imminent, rather, the economy will be observed and if it is able to continue on its current trend, only then will the possibility of a rate hike be considered. Many Wall Street economists feel that the earliest possibility of a rate hike will be the second quarter of 2015.
The non-Agency MBS sector was characterized by improving fundamentals coupled with reduced trading volume. The large liquidation lists seen in the first quarter all but disappeared. Instead, hedge fund and money manager selling drove bid list volume. The bulk of the activity was in Alt-A and subprime collateral. Against the backdrop of improving fundamentals and tighter supply technicals, yields tightened, pushing prices higher.
Corporate Credit
Investment grade corporate credit continued to post healthy returns, bringing its streak of positive results to six consecutive months. Credit spreads tightened as heavy supply met healthy demand. The favorable credit environment has been positively influenced by the Fed's dovish forward guidance regarding its zero interest rate policy, signs of an improving U.S. economy, and relatively low market volatility.
Investment grade fund flows remained positive and accelerated in June with $8.0 billion in inflows to the asset class. Geopolitical tensions and the uprising in the Middle East have increased demand for safe-haven assets such as US Treasuries and US investment grade corporate bonds, increasing demand and reducing yields. Monetary policy has also continued to remain accommodative, which has kept yields low. We believe that long-term performance with relatively low volatility is vital for investment grade bonds to continue to perform. The opportunity for further spread compression is becoming less likely given historically tight levels. We continue to value credits that exhibit competitive advantages in their respective industries, such as management teams with proven records and firms that maintain better than average balance sheet fortitude and free cash flow.
High-yield bonds benefitted from a combination of accommodative global central banks, stagnant growth trends, low market volatility, and benign US Treasury yields. While the U.S. economy faltered in the first quarter, this was not reflected in earnings of high-yield issuers. According to Barclays, year-on-year growth for the broad market was 10% for the first quarter and has been increasing for the last four consecutive quarters. Debt growth has slowed down significantly since last year and coverage ratios are at their all-time highs, aided significantly by low interest rates. This divergence stems from increased business spending, which has been boosting high-yield company earnings relative to the weak consumer spending that has been dragging GDP down.
Lagging Bank Loans & CLOs
Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) issuance continued at a steady and strong pace during the quarter, though money continued to flow out of retail loan funds. The reversal in retail fund flows was one of the factors propelling the increase in CLO issuance. Except for AAA-rated notes, 2.0 CLO debt spreads widened during the quarter. Spreads up and down the capital structure are still nowhere near the tight levels of 2013.
Although the Bank Loan market benefitted from record CLO new issue volumes—along with accommodative global central banks, stagnant growth trends, and low market volatility—returns lagged the broader market. Retail Bank Loan mutual funds reported noticeable outflows in May and June, with June's outflows the largest monthly retreat since August 2011. For the most part, investors have been attracted to such funds because they offered better yields in last year's low-rate environment than could be had in investment-grade bonds and most investors expected the floating rates would cushion them as interest rates rose. While the strong rush of inflows combined with the return of covenant-lite loans into the space has been worrisome for some we see the potential for more buying opportunities in the space. We still maintain a relatively conservative position in the Fund, however, valuing higher quality credits.
US Treasuries
Treasuries were positive during the second quarter, but again lagged the broader aggregate index. Support for Treasury prices came from a variety of sources. Geopolitical risk, especially the turmoil in Ukraine and Iraq, provided a flight-to-quality bid. A highly accommodative monetary policy was cemented in place by the ECB. With combating deflation being the primary focus, the easy money policy pushed European sovereign yields lower, in turn adding to downward pressure on Treasury yields resulting in higher prices. Fed Chair Yellen helped the market as well with some dovish comments that allayed investor fears of a shift toward more aggressive policy tightening. Still, low yields overall have served as a drag on total returns from this traditional safe haven.

Keep Canada in the United Nations!
Conservative MPs are outrageously suggesting Canada be the first of 193 countries to withdraw from the UN
Larry Miller, the Conservative MP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, wants Canada to withdraw from the United Nations, outrageously suggesting we be the first of 193 countries to leave the international organization that has promoted peace, cooperation and human rights since 1945.
In response, Liberal Foreign Affairs critic Dominic LeBlanc issued the following statement:
"Conservative MP Larry Miller's ignorant comments calling for Canada to withdraw from the UN are symptomatic of a government that has no interest in protecting Canada's place on the world stage.
Their foreign policy, comprised of press releases, criticizing others and throwing hissy-fits when others dare criticize them, has damaged our international reputation, and affected our ability to work collaboratively with other governments and multilateral organizations.
We live in an interconnected world where we can only protect Canada's interests by playing a positive role internationally. We cannot isolate ourselves as the Conservatives seem to believe. Canadians are best served by a policy of constructive engagement – priorities that value actions more than rhetoric."

Everyone is young, wears leather, sports a pallor and sits or stands around looking louche while a heavy metal soundtrack clangs in the background. Figure you just wandered into an exclusive metropolitan nightclub? Nope, it's just the vacuous world of Underworld, a morose movie that pits vampires against were-wolves—all the folks described above belong to one of the two groups and have for centuries.
First-time director Len Wiseman (who also came up with the story) previously made music videos, and it shows. Underworld is fabulously sleek looking, but Wiseman unwisely forgets that viewers want to sink their teeth into a coherent plot, complicated characters and pungent dialogue, all of which are sadly lacking. Beckinsale and Speedman, who have been promising (she) and adequate (he) elsewhere, do little more than strike poses here. (R)

As pointed out by alert reader DSAHawker, this article from yesterday's Chicago Tribune mentions in passing that safety Terrance Holt had a workout on Seattle this Tuesday before signing with the Chicago Bears.
This could just mean that the Seahawks are busy doing their due diligence in checking out a free agent in case they need an injury replacement. However, given the porous nature of the secondary's play this season, a fan's mind can't help but wonder if another change in the lineup is in the making. ~END~

ESCAP Creates Regional Forum to Help Develop Gender and Poverty-Sensitive Energy Policies
4 November 2008: At the conclusion of the High Level
Regional Policy Meeting on Networking Towards Gender and Poverty Sensitive
Energy Policies, which took place in Bangkok, Thailand, from 3-4 November 2008,
the International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy (ENERGIA), in
cooperation with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and
the Pacific (ESCAP), launched the Policy Innovation Forum. The Forum aims to
help provide women and the poor with reliable access to energy.
The creation of
the Forum is based on the recognition that progress in achieving the Millennium
Development Goals will be hindered or even reversed as a result of lack of
energy supply in many rural areas in the region coupled with the food, fuel and
financial crises.
During the high-level meeting, participants discussed, inter
alia: energy options for the livelihood needs for the poor and women;
transportation needs for the poor and women; regulatory options to enhance
energy access; and opportunities and barriers to financing energy options. [ESCAP Press Release]

Q: Is it proper etiquette for an immediate family member to throw a shower for a bride-to-be?
A: The traditional hosts are friends of the bride, the couple, or friends of the couple's parents. It has long been considered a breach of etiquette for immediate family members to host showers, because doing so gives the appearance of being self-serving. But it is becoming increasingly correct for family to host in certain situations, as when the bride is visiting her future in-laws and the groom's mother or sister invites hometown friends to meet her. Also, more mothers and sisters of the bride are giving showers. Today, people should be guided by individual circumstances when deciding if family members will host. It has always been correct for more distant family members to host, such as aunts and cousins.

Fla. man wants his 700 cats back
Craig Grant seeks permit to upgrade animal sanctuary
A Florida man wants nearly 700 cats removed from his cat sanctuary to be returned to his care.
An attorney said Craig Grant is seeking a permit from the Madison County Commission to upgrade the Caboodle Ranch, about 60 miles east of Tallahassee.
David Collins told The Florida Times-Union that his client will plead not guilty to multiple animal cruelty charges at his arraignment Tuesday.
Collins said a hearing Wednesday to determine who will care for the cats was postponed while the commission considers the permit request.
Officials said many of the cats removed in February are still being treated for various ailments. Cats that can be traced to owners who want them will be returned. Adoptions for the rest must wait for the criminal case against Grant to conclude.

Hey folks, I probably need to be using this news sections some more, so here's a new post. (Besides I really ought to replace that walkthough already on the front page, haha).
First though, HOLY CRAP A VIDEO REVIEW. This is my first video review I've gotten for pretty much anything, so suffice to say this is pretty exciting.
The review was actually put together by fellow Newgrounds user Plasmarift, and he's got a whole dang channel of game reviews for a bunch of indie games. I've been watching a few of his videos they have all been pretty great. Plus there are some really interesting games that he's looking at. Be sure to check out his channel!
I know I've been pretty silent on here, but that's because I've been working on the next game in the BackDoor series. It's going to be much larger than the last one, so it's been taking much longer than expected. Not to mention that thesis research is slowly consuming more and more of my life. :T Regardless I am still making progress on the game, and I'm hoping to put out a demo eventually just to test out a section or two. The demo probably won't be out for a while yet, but it is definitely a thing that is happening.
Take it easy!

Mass Effect: Paragon Lost Review
In Mass Effect 3, Shepard doesn't have to bond with the shipmates of the Normandy as is pretty much required in Mass Effect 2 with the game's team-bonding missions. However, if the player in Mass Effect 3 chooses to chat with marine James Vega, Vega entreats Shepard to "dance" with him–a sparring match where Vega spills exactly why he is angry with Shepard, the Reapers, and the Collectors. It's isn't because his new tattoo is a wee bit sore. Vega was assigned to protect a certain colony in the Terminus systems, a colony that was unfortunately on the Collectors' shopping list. Mass Effect: Paragon Lost is Vega's story. The anime starts off simple enough. Vega's team has been sent to save a colony from being overrun by the Blood Pack, a gang of intergalactic mercenaries that typically consists of krogan, batarians, and vorcha. They have a reputation for being nastilyRead more →By crunchychocobo in Movies · Pop Culture 2 Comments »
Scott Derrickson set to direct Deus Ex: Human Revolution film
CBS films has announced that Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will direct the screen adaptation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. He will also write the screenplay with C. Robert Cargill. "Deus Ex is a phenomenal cyberpunk game with soul and intelligence," said Derrickson, who continued, "By combining amazing action and tension with big, philosophical ideas, Deus Ex is smart, ballsy, and will make one hell of a movie. Cargill and I can't wait to bring it to the big screen." The franchise was originally introduced in 2000 by Square Enix. The most recent release, Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be the primary source of inspiration for the film. FollowRead more →
Spend time gaming with Hotel Transylvania
It's almost the time of year to think about thing that are scary or go bump in the night, but Hotel Transylvania takes a different approach. Starring the voices of Adam Sandler (Dracula) and Selena Gomez (teen daughter Mavis), Hotel Transylvania takes on the tale of a father being protective of his daughter–something I can still relate to. Hotel Transylvania is where all monsters go for their spa getaway, but a human boy discovers the hotel and Mavis. Here is a trailer: In addition we have some fun games for you to play to get you in a ghoulish mood. Dracula's Maze, Zombie Suitcase Sort, and Wayne's Wolf Pup Wrangle are embedded below and free to play.

Target announces some pricey Hunger Games merchandise
Maybe because the target audience of fans of the Hunger games is women/young girls, but Target is expecting Hunger Games fans to spend when it comes to their favorite franchise. The press release does have details about the Hunger Games DVD ($20.99)and Blu-Ray ($25.99). Both are available for preorder now at Target.com/HungerGames. But because the movie is so popular they have additional merchandise you can purchase. Most of the collectibles shown on the Target site seem affordable and range from earrings to candle holders. But the press release mentions a few "rare" items that they must believe fans will pay for. The "premium" items will be on the website on the day of the DVD release on August 18th. The keepsakes include: "14-carat gold replicas of heroine Katniss Everdeen's famed Mockingjay pin (the story's symbol of rebellion), with 100 available at $999 each; leather replicas of Katniss' hunting jacket, withRead more →
The Hobbit becomes a Trilogy
The press release came in today to announce that Peter Jackson or Warner Bros will be squeezing the Hobbit for all it's worth by making it a trilogy. Yes the latest Hollywood fad has hit the Hobbit. Jackson stated, "Upon recently viewing a cut of the first film, and a chunk of the second, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and I were very pleased with the way the story was coming together. We recognized that the richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, gave rise to a simple question: do we tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as filmmakers and fans was an unreserved 'yes.' We know the strength of our cast and of the characters they have brought to life. We know creatively how compelling and engaging theRead more →By GamingAngel in Movies 1 Comment »
Disney at San Diego Comic Con
Disney hosted a great Hall H panel at San Diego Comic Con yesterday. The films featured were Frankenweenie, Oz the Great, and Wreck It Ralph. For Frankenweenie, Tim Burton came on stage to answer Q&A and showcase more footage. An interesting fact is that Tim Burton had envisioned the movie as a full length stop motion film, but due to budget had to make it a short film instead. Now he gets to revisit his work and make it complete. Here is a video from the homage trailer: Oz the Great featured director Sam Raimi. I found curious that there were quite a few times where people asked about the intersection between this and Wizard of Oz. But there isn't any. This movie takes place way before Dorthy ends up in Oz. Find out more at the official site. Wreck it Ralph was my favorite! The director came out alongRead more →
Four brand new Monsters University trailers
It's been 11 years since the original Monsters movie and Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are still in our hearts. Disney and Pixar have released four teaser trailers to give you a look at Monsters University. In Monsters University, we see how Mike and Sulley became best friends. Can you believe initially they didn't like each other? Monsters University is set to come out on June 21, 2013. Both Billy Crystal and John Goodman will be back to voice Mike and Sulley. "Billy Crystal's an amazing comedic actor," remarked Dan Scanlon, Director, Disney•Pixar's Monsters University. "He gave us so much fun material, we decided to cut four slightly different versions of the trailer. We are so happy to have him back as Mike!" FollowRead more →By GamingAngel in Movies 2 Comments »
Disney/Pixar's 'Brave' Gets Temple Run Mobile Game
The original Temple Run by Imangi Studios has some impressive stats. The single player, action app game was released last August on iOS and Android earlier this year. It was among the Top 50 downloaded apps in December 2011 which led to it eventually being the number one Free App. The simple game is easy and addicting to play with just a swipe of the finger. The basic premise of the game is to run as far as you can avoiding a variety of obstacles placed in your way and the ever present demonic monkeys that are pursuing you. Now, Imangi has teamed up with an international giant of media: Disney. Temple Run has now been redone with a Disney touch by using the protagonist of the new Disney/Pixar film, Brave, as the character running through what is now lush, Scottish territory. Temple Run: Brave is, at it's core, justRead more →

The weather was really hot and humid, big contrast to La Paz.
The next day we got up and went to the tour agency to start our Pampas tour, basically a 3 day boat trip into the jungle. 3 english girls I had done the death road with where in our group, Rowena, Sarah and Jenny, and also 3 guys Josh, Seth and Mark, and a girl called Cara.
After waiting for an hour and a half we finally set off in jeeps for a very bumpy 4 hour ride to where we catch the boats
We saw loads of different birds and eagles and condors.And then we stopped by a tree and fed little squirell monkeys! So cute.
The whole place is really amazing and so remote, just going a long the river networks all day.
We arrived at our camp, a group of huts by the side of the river, dumped our bags and then dashed off to watch the sunset. Absolutely beautiful, the best sunset I think I have ever seen.
We then went back and had dinner before going to search for alligators on the way to a �bar�, the bar was a hut on stilts in the river.
When we climbed into bed we caked ourselves in mosquito spray and climbed into the mosquito nets.
Next morning we got up and had a massive breakfast. We then put on wellington boots! (havent worn them since I was about 8) and headed of into the pampas itself to search for Anacondas. We very quickly realised the wellies were just to protect your feet and not to keep you dry. I was in water in the reeds up to my waist.We didnt think we would find an anaconda as they hadnt found one in 2 months. But after just 20 minutes, the walk was meant to be 3 hours, all the guides suddenly started running, ( very difficult in waist high water). They had found one! Was only a baby so not very big but still pretty cool. And after we washed any insect repelent off us, it can kill them, we got to hold it.
After that we headed back in the canoe, stopping of at a tree and jumped off into the water
We spent a few hours relaxing in the hammocks and having lunch. We then went to go and swim with the dolphins again. Suddenly the heavens opened with the most torrential rain I have ever experienced. I was soaked through within 2 seconds, and the rain was freezing. So we jumped straight into the water. Was like jumping into a hot bath. It was also the right spot for the dolphins. Was totally sureal, there we were swimming in the amazon basin in a massive lighting and rain storm with dolphins! When the rain stopped all the girls hair started to stand on end, we guessed from all the electricity in the air.
We went back and dried of before having tea and cake. We then went to the same bar as the night before to watch the sunset. Again totally beautiful. Unfortunately my camera had run out by that point. Will be borrowing gemmas photos later to put on.
We then headed back for the evening with a crate of beer and spent the evening chatting.
The next day we got up at 5am to go and watch the sunrise. Was lovely seeing the whole place coming to life. Was not so lovely to be swarmed by mosquitos! And then there was a massive spider on the boat!
Went back for breakfast, and then we set of to go Piranha fishing
There was just enough time for another swim with the dolphins before lunch, and then we set off to go back and catch the jeep.
That evening back in town, if you can call it that, its smaller than Liss, we all met up and went for food and lots of drinks.
Just as I was walking back to the hostel there was a big bit of lighting. I counted for the thunder but when I got to about 20 thought nothing was going to happen. Then literally as I put my foot in the door it absolutley tipped it down! It continued to do so all night.
In the morning I went to confirm what we thought at the airline office. All the flights were cancelled. So we all spent the day hanging out, having food and went to a bar/cafe called pacha mamas and watched a film. It is actually a really nice little town, if we werent rushing to get out of the country before our visas ran out I would have happily been stuck there for a few weeks.
We then all spent the evening again eating and drinking in Pacha Mamas, was a really good night, as everyone was stuck so all just hung out together.
Next day we went to check on the flights and had to wait on a report on how dry the runway was. Eventually we managed to get on a flight about 3pm.
Got back to La Paz and picked up my bag before heading straight to catch the bus to Copacobana on Lake Titicaca.
Absolutely loved the last few days, wish it had been longer.

Reviewer: HYDROcodone, 65-74 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)
Ease of Use
Prescribed lortab for pain after knee surgery. Never phased the pain. Up all night. Motrin did a better job. Plus, I told the nurse I could not take lortab because I'm allergic to codeine. She stated this had no codeine in it. Itched profusely all over body all night long.
Reviewer: Ms. Price, 45-54 on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)
Ease of Use
One dose of Lortab a.k.a.Hydrocodone made my big toes and upper pads of feet itch and did not ease my post-surgical pain.
Reviewer: 45-54 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)
Ease of Use
Prescribed after oral surgery. Didn't even take the edge of the pain.

Reviewer: ArthriticAngel, 35-44 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)
Ease of Use
I used the 10/600 form after abdominal surgery, it worked great as long as I remembered to take with food. Empty stomach = nausea and vomiting within 8 hrs for me. Recently had severe osteoarthritis pain and was reluctantly prescribed the 5/325 formulation. It is not enough to stop my severe, acute joint pain.

What if, on a crowded street, you look up and see something appear that should not, given what we know, be there. You either shake your head and dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than we think. Perhaps it really is a doorway to another place.

Please don't post right after your last post "bumping" your own thread. People see this and have read it, they are just having a hard timing helping you with your problem. So you can either wait patiently, or search for answers on Google or something.

When you think of the atrocities of serial killers, you think of John Wayne Gacy or Jeffrey Dahmer. But there have been other killers throughout history who were much worse.

Instead of creating a new language, how about replacing the scheduler of an existing kernel with an agoric scheduler? The scheduling algorithm becomes the judge. A process could have some code associated with it -- its "advocate" -- that argues why this process should get the resources, or negotiates for price. Low priority processes would have low budgets and would wait until after 11 pm to schedule their resource use.
