'Alice Cooper here, we're in Maui tonight and we have an audience. Everyone say hello."
It's a Tuesday evening in Wailuku and legendary rocker Alice Cooper is commanding the airwaves recording his syndicated show "Nights With Alice Cooper" in a KAOI-FM studio. Five contest winners and friends are huddled around him, soaking up the opportunity to hang with a rock star. It's the first time in six years Alice has recorded his show before a live audience, and he's obviously relishing the attention, joking and riffing, and drawing the fans into the broadcast.
"That was 'Destroyer' by The Kinks, who might be reforming this year. The Kinks were probably the first metal-sounding band. I love Ray Davies. When people ask, 'Where did you learn to write lyrics?' I say from Ray Davies, and Chuck Berry, who was the best lyricist of all time."

Alice Cooper was also a headliner at the star-studded New Year's Eve party at Mala Wailea.
Heard on 95.1 FM, five hours a night, six nights week, Alice plays music by classic bands from The Who to Pink Floyd and Lynyrd Skynyrd to Deep Purple, interspersed with nuggets from more obscure acts like Humble Pie and The Sorrows, while peppering his shows with anecdotes about the numerous rock luminaries he's hung with.
"The radio show is the easiest thing I've ever done," says Alice. "I let the music be the star of the show and I just put the color in. People like that I'm playing different music, not just playing the same old AC/DC and Led Zeppelin."
And besides great music, his show provides a unique perspective into the lives of many of the musicians he plays. "I tell the stories behind these guys, and I can tell them because I was there," he continues. "If a regular DJ starts having fun knocking Journey or Ronnie Wood, everybody goes, 'How dare you do that,' but if you're those guys' best friend, you're allowed to do it."
Only Alice could get away with ribbing Styx's Tommy Shaw, telling him on air that their big hit "Come Sail Away," must be one of the gayest rock songs of all time.
"He comes back with, " 'Only Women Bleed' had to be one of the gayest rock songs,' " Alice recalls. "And I said, 'Yeah, but you followed it up with 'Woman,' the only song written directly for Jerry Lewis. Guys like the idea that I'll take a shot at them. I'll say, 'I'm playing a song by Boston, I hate corporate rock, but this is a good song,' or I'll say, 'I like these guys, but I hate this song.' It's all with a little tongue in cheek."
"That was Aerosmith with 'Rag Doll.' That's not my favorite Aerosmith song at all; to me it's a B side. We go way back. Years ago I was just out of rehab and Joe Perry was just out of rehab, so I called him up and said, 'Let's write some songs together.' Stephen Tyler heard about this and thought I was stealing Joe for my band. He really went nuclear; it made up him jump into rehab quick."
Celebrity guests frequently pop up on his show. During Halloween week, rocker/horror director Rob Zombie, Def Leppard vocalist Joe Elliot and "Exorcist" star Linda Blair joined the festivities.
"The craziest interview I ever did was Question Mark from Question Mark & The Mysterians (of "96 Tears" fame), who after 20 minutes started telling me that he doesn't live on Mars, he lives in Mars, and that the air is food, and they don't wear clothes, and Elvis really likes it," he reports. "All I could say was, uh huh, uh huh. It was insane, he was dead serious.
"The one person I couldn't get anything out of was Jerry Lee Lewis, who I thought would be on fire. I said, 'It must have been great knowing Elvis, and he was, 'Yeah.' I'm thinking this guy just woke up or he's not awake. Guys who are willing to talk like Bill Wyman from the Rolling Stones are great interviews, or the guys from The Doors, who talk candidly about Jim (Morrison)."
"Let's play something by Uriah Heep, 'Easy Livin'.' When I think of Uriah Heep, I think of a compost heap, things that are rotting. That's one of the worst names of all time, next to Foghat."
Tired of hearing rigidly confined play lists on corporate radio stations Alice began broadcasting a more free-form approach about six years ago. A true music fan with an encyclopedic knowledge, he passionately champions landmark music from the 1960s and '70s.
"I just believe there was so much great music in the '60s and '70s that everyone has forgotten about," he says. "And I hate the idea of corporate demographics taking over great music, and some guy in a suit saying, 'You're only gong to play these 40 songs, because that's what makes money.' I told them right up front when I got the show I want to play the bands that are forgotten like Procul Harum and Love and Paul Butterfield, and Frank Zappa. People want to hear a variety. This show is number one in most markets."
"Fun and freaky facts on band names coming up. Guess who was Wee Johnny Hays and the Bluecats? The Bee Gees. I'm a huge Bee Gees fan. 'Saturday Night Fever' was the Sergeant Pepper of disco, one of the greatest albums of all time."
Alice's classic rock programming is heard around the globe, drawing a combined audience of more than 6 millions listeners. "We just picked up Istanbul and Copenhagen," he notes. "We're on every morning in London on Planet Rock. We're on in Australia and Canada."
E-mails pour in from fans of all ages and from all over including a number of prisons.
"I am very big in mental hospitals and prisons," he says. "They're a captive audience, they can't go anywhere. I talk to them, I go, 'The guys over there in Lompoc, I know you didn't do it, but while you're there I'll play you "Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy.' "
On Maui for the holidays, Alice just rang in the New Year at Mala Wailea at a benefit show which also featured an incendiary performance by the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, joined by British blues legend John Mayall, and members of Nickelback.
"It's become a tradition to do that show, and it's always great to turn something like that into a charity event," he notes. "These people are here already, so why not put them to work."
Backed by Mick Fleetwood on drums, Rick Vito on guitar and vocals, bassist Lenny Castellanos, keyboardist Mark Johnstone, and Eric Gilliom and Gretchen Rhodes of Island Rumours on vocals, Alice belted out his classic hits "Schools Out" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy."
"Mick Fleetwood is such a great drummer," he continues. "You forget Fleetwood Mac was a real rock band and he was one of the best drummers out there, and Rick's a great blues guitar player. And then you have John Mayall come up, how great is that?"
This multi-platinum selling artist who invented theatrical rock, and shaped the future of heavy metal, recently completed a U.K. tour that drew rave reviews.
"Like your very worst nightmare, shock rocker Alice Cooper's 'Theatre of Death' rolled into town promising all manner of gore and gruesomeness," praised the Plymouth Herald. "Super svelt and in very fine voice throughout, Alice at sixty-something was in tip top form, as were his snake-hipped, leather-clad axemen. This was a fun theatrical spectacle from the ultimate showman."
During the completely revamped spectacular - co-designed by Broadway director Rob Roth - the "grandfather of gothic" is offed not just once, but four times. "Within minutes of the show opening, the golf-loving 60-plus-year-old was beheaded in a mock execution after the gig exploded with the iconic air guitar classic 'School's Out,' " noted the Birmingham Mail.
Subsequent fatal punishments included hanging from a gallows, lethal injection from a scantily clad nurse, and skewering in a box of giant nails.
"We changed absolutely everything," Alice explains. "We had three weeks, 12 hours a day of rehearsals. Everybody loved it; it was the perfect package that people want from Alice Cooper. (Manager) Shep (Gordon) and myself and Rob Roth masterminded it. Shep and I pretty much know what works, and we let Rob come in and upset the apple cart. So let's start with 'School's Out' and kill Alice on the fourth song, so the audience is going, 'Where are they going from here?' Even fans that come to every show had no idea what was coming next."

Pledging to eliminate "extravagant'' spending and special treatment for "favorites," Gretchen Cowart has announced she is seeking the office of St. Tammany Parish assessor. The election is Oct. 22.
Cowart, 39, of Bush, said she would also initiate term limits for the assessor's post and work to evenly assess parish properties.
"I believe that our property taxes can be lowered by fair assessment for all properties," she said in a news release.
A Covington High School graduate, Cowart is an alumna of Delgado Community College and Sullivan Vocational Technical Institute. She said she is a "career woman" and has worked for 10 years in the land records department at the parish Clerk of Court's Office.
Cowart, a Republican, said she will never be a career politician and thinks she can make a difference in the Assessor's Office. She said the office needs to be run with "the practical approach of fairness, honesty, transparency and business ethics."
She and her husband, Brian, have six children.
She said she has coached youth and adult sports for 12 years for the parish's 2nd Recreation District and is active in her children's school and the Future Farmers of America.

Artists Explore The Secret World of Women: Their Purses (Images)Sunny Chanel
Personally, I would not want the contents of my purse to be immortalized forever publicly – in any medium, be it for the sake of art or not. No one needs to see the chaos that resides in my carryall, cos it seriously carries it all from crushed up crackers, to three different kinds of cough drops to a variety of rocks and leaves that my daughter asks me to carry. But apparently there is a certain allure to being a voyeur of this very personal space in a woman's world, a place where few are not forbidden from venturing into, be it friends or families. Recently, there have been several artists – from traditional illustrators, to photographers to those who are more conceptual – who are exploring this hidden world of women.
(Read more and see images of these artists handbag explorations here)
On Wednesday, an exhibition of the work of Hans-Peter Feldmann opened at the Serpentine Gallery in London. One of the highlights? His display of the entire contents of women's purses under glass – as the gallery stated – "making passing fashions and lifestyle choices the object of display and public discussion." And Feldmann paid a price for the privilege of invading their privacy, at the tune of 500 each. His fascination with handbags has haunted him for eons telling The Guardian, "I remember my mother and her handbag and it was a taboo to look at what was in it, a really strict taboo."
But Feldmann is not the only artist to explore the contents of a woman's purse. The French photographer Pierre Klein created a show entitled "Elles Vident Leur Sac" that featured photos of all the items of the subjects handbags carefully displayed on a hot pink background. Klein noted of the intimacy of looking into the purses saying, "each object was linked to some anxiety or fear, with a story of its own." As part of his project, Klein also video taped each woman emptying out her purse and found that they would soon start going into very personal details about their lives.
Jean-Claude Kaufmann, a research sociologist, wrote a thesis on the subject of women's purses ("The Bag, a Small World of Affection") and discovered something interesting about what women carry noting that, "there are two categories of object: things women consider essential (phone, keys, tissues, aspirin, makeup, wallet); and the rest, all the apparently useless treasures related to memorable events, emotions and superstition."
Le Monde notes that: "One of the reasons women carry so much in their bags is that they act as "resource persons", according to Kaufmann. For the benefit of children, their partner, friends, relations or even workmates, their bag is full of comforters, items such as biscuits, wipes, sweets, tissues, water."
Taking the contents of women's bags to a more whimsical place is the illustrator (and Etsy seller) Kristina Hultkrantz from Stockholm, Sweden. The artist has done a series of pieces (in collaboration with Matchbook Magazine) called "What's in My Bag" which imagines what would have been in the purses of famous women of the past and present from Sofia Coppola to Coco Chanel to Jane Austin.
Check out some of the work of the artists exploring the contents of purses right here:

I dont think so but its a good question. It can be left to them, but not purchased in their name I dont think.
Just a quick question to find out if anyone knows if a child with both a Thai and British passport can have land bought in Thailand in their name.
Thanks for any replies.

I was wondering the same. Hoping it was a loop hole in the law. However, I do remember a few years ago, that my missis could buy land, but the money couldn't come from me cos I'm a foreigner..................or some bollox like that. How they can prove otherwise I'm not sure!
I think if a Thai woman is married to a foreigner than they can buy land if they are working. The logic being that they have an 'income' of their own so have the means to pay for the purchase themselves.
So it looks like child labour laws might get in the way of children owning land.Originally Posted by jakestevernson
"We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans. With a capital "A", huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts."

I co-signed the loan on our house 8 years ago. No problems. Paid for now though. Wifes name.
As opposed to not working? Wouldn't it depend on how she planned to pay for it? Also 'they' wouldn't own the land as far as I know, rather she would. Although I think a Westerners wages can be used to help buy land via the wife, but it's still her land as far as I know.Originally Posted by jakestevernson
I think AO is spot on...can be left it (as can a farang albeit as a caretaker....although if I remember correctly Pinky said that while it's doable, if it was taken to court it might be over ruled and deemed not doable) but can't buy/own land until they're 18??? I'm pretty sure this is the case.

AFAIK a child with a Thai passport is able to purchase land and structures on that land.
I know that there are some rules and regs on ages but cannot recall them.
It would be best if the child is recorded in a house registration book (Tabien Bahn).
My son has a Thai passport and is registered on his mother's 'Tabian Baan'. Out ov curiosity, any chance ov finding out the rules & regs?

The Most Angry Man
Sidney Zion's Crusade to Make Doctors Pay for His Daughter's Death Ends in a Partial Defeat
Last week, Zion, now 61 and a columnist for New York's Daily News, finally got a verdict—but not the one he had been hoping for. A Manhattan jury faulted the doctors but also found Libby partly responsible for her own death; when asked, she had failed to disclose that she was taking various prescription drugs—and that she had been using cocaine. Zion was awarded $375,000 for his daughter's pain and suffering, but nothing in punitive damages. Neither New York Hospital nor any of the doctors involved would discuss their partial victory. For his part, Zion, who has not yet decided if he will appeal, was furious. "I'm pretty bitter about it," he says. "But we'll go on. Look, when you get home from the funeral of your kid and you're still alive, there's nothing else that can kill you."
Despite the mixed decision, the Libby Zion case had long since had repercussions beyond New York Hospital. In 1989, largely due to Sidney Zion's relentless campaigning, New York State adopted new regulations limiting the long hours hospital residents and interns can work, especially in emergency rooms. Now they are limited to working 80 hours a week and no more than 24 hours at a stretch, except in emergency rooms (where it is no more than 12 hours). Three years ago the American Medical Association revised its policies on hospital work hours as well. But so far no other state has followed suit, mainly for financial reasons, since limiting work hours means hiring more staff. Still, Zion takes comfort in the changes he has wrought. "Maybe it wasn't all in vain," he says of the verdict. "With Court TV, people across the country were educated. And we got those rules changed."
Libby Zion had always been at the center of her father's universe. When she was born, Sidney, a New Jersey-born dentist's son with a Yale Law School degree, bought drinks and passed out cigars for the entire bar crowd at Sardi's restaurant near The New York Times, where he was then a reporter. "Most guys want boys; I wanted a daughter," he says. "I loved her madly."
Libby grew up in the family's comfortable three-bedroom Upper West Side Manhattan apartment with her father, her mother, Elsa, a former publishing executive, and her younger brothers Adam, now 27, an attorney, and Jed, 25, a screenwriter. "She used to edit my work," says her father, who often wrote at home. "She'd tell me if it was good or not. If she didn't like it, she'd kiss me on the forehead, and I'd say, 'Okay, I'll be back.' " Zion glowingly describes his daughter as having a lovely singing voice, a fiery personality and fierce intelligence. But as she entered her teen years, he says, she became depressed. The Zions took her to a psychiatrist, who prescribed the antidepressant drug Nardil. "Every teenage girl goes through times like that; you get jilted, that kind of thing," says Zion. "She was fine."
She was not fine, though, on the night of March 4, 1984. Home during her freshman year at Bennington College, she was agitated—"like half a Mexican jumping bean," Zion recalls—and running a fever of 103. Zion called his personal physician, Raymond Sherman, who told him to take her to the emergency room at New York Hospital. "If I have to come," Zion recalled Sherman saying, "I will."
At the hospital, Libby was seen by Drs. Maurice Leonard and Gregg Stone, both second-year residents, and Dr. Luise Weinstein, an intern nine months out of medical school. At 2:45 a.m., Zion says, Stone told him that Libby wasn't nearly as sick as she looked and recommended that he and Elsa go home. As they left, Libby whispered to her father, "Good night," adding in Yiddish, "Schloffen gesunt" ("Sleep well").
But he didn't. The hospital called just before 7 a.m. "The phone rang. I picked it up. It was Dr. Weinstein," Elsa recalls. "She said, 'I'm sorry. We tried everything. We gave her medication, ice baths...' and her voice trailed off. I said, 'Are you trying to tell me Libby's dead?' She said, 'Yes.' I said, 'I don't believe you.' "
Libby was buried two days later. It was then that her father decided to start digging into her death. "What really got me going was when Ray Sherman didn't come to the funeral," he says. "Everyone came, but he didn't. I thought, 'Uh-oh, there's obviously something wrong here.' " Over the next few months, Zion made repeated calls to New York City's chief medical examiner, Elliot Gross, to Manhattan borough president Andrew Stein and to Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau, to get a copy of Libby's autopsy report and to find out why it had been delayed.
In May, Morgenthau called Zion and told him that the doctors at the hospital had given Libby Demerol, a painkiller that can be fatally incompatible with the Nardil she had been taking. He also mentioned how Libby, who had been thrashing around in her hospital bed, had been restrained by a Posey, or jacket, and tied to her bed. Zion insists that back then, no one mentioned cocaine as a cause of death, although the autopsy report made mention of traces found in an early test.
What made Zion angriest of all, however, was learning that doctors at New York Hospital were privately attributing Libby's death to cocaine use alone. "It was a whispering campaign," he charges. "I went crazy. They didn't even say, 'She had a little cocaine.' They said she was a goddamn junkie. It was just ugly."
Ultimately, though, the jury believed that Libby Zion had used cocaine and should have told doctors about it. At the same time, the jury faulted Drs. Sherman, Stone and Weinstein for prescribing Demerol. In addition, Weinstein, who was responsible for 40 other patients that night, was found negligent on two more counts: for not prescribing cold soaks in timely fashion when Libby's fever rose dangerously, and for not returning to Libby's bedside when called by a concerned nurse.
Still, Zion laments the outcome. "A lot of things could have been and aren't. We could have done something," he says sadly. "This could have been a great verdict." But he does take comfort in the ferocity of the battle he has waged on his daughter's behalf. "She would have wanted me to fight, that's for certain," he says. "Libby wouldn't take crap. I promised her at the funeral I would get to the bottom of this. She would approve."

After watching him pilot that Millennium Falcon into millions of dreams, we figured Harrison Ford could handle anything. But at the photo shoot for our annual special issue on male magnetism, we found one thing he won't do: Fake a smile. "He agreed to one real smile for each roll of film," recalls photographer Michael O'Neill. "He said, 'If I do more, they'll look frozen.' "
Fortunately, our selection of Ford as this year's Sexiest Man Alive (page 79)—the 12th stunner so anointed—seemed to give the actor reason to grin. "Absurd," he said with a laugh. "I'm average and ordinary." PEOPLE special-issues photo editor Maddy Miller begs to differ: "He can really attract a crowd. Men like him, women like him. Everyone at the shoot—people who are used to meeting stars—they fluttered around him."
At the photo sessions for our "Fathers and Sons" story (page 124), the mood was more poignant. Watching Jimmy and Kino Smits thumb wrestle and Robert Urich tear up looking at son Ryan made photographer George Lange miss his own dad, who died this year. "I understand how close someone can be to his father," Lange says. "I was looking for that in these relationships, and I found it."
Authenticity was also key for photographer Richard Corman, who traveled to four cities to snap the striking black-and-white photos in our "Men @ Work" story (page 154). "In the end, we were able to capture a certain honesty," says Corman. "What you see is what you get." Which is, with all our sexy men, a very appealing package.

The Lord Of The Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar
Lord Of The Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is a game that has been in development quite some time. It was announced back in 1998 by Sierra-Online but due to financial troubles it was put on hold until Turbine in 2003 took over. They continued development and made a truly magnificent game.
With "Lord of the Rings" people immediately think of the movies but those that have read the books know that the movies only tell the main core of the bigger story. Many areas mentioned in the book are never heard of, let alone shown in the movies.
Lord Of The Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar plays in the Middle-Earth as it's described in the books of Tolkien, a world filled with mystical creatures, brave men, elegant elves, burlesque dwarves, greedy hobbits and rancid monsters, huge cities, little farm villages, dark woods and breath-taking landscapes.
Next to all those little details like surroundings and races, you also get in touch with the actual story, the faith of Frodo and his homies. This contact was shaped in the form of Epic Quests, quests that are part of the great adventure we know from the movies and that are given to you by main characters like Aragorn and the others. When you successfully complete these you will make it easier for them to destroy the ring. All these special assignments have a link with the epic adventure from the books but also with the story of the game itself, the liberation of the Witch King of Angmar. After finishing these epic quests you'll almost always get to see a short movie that clarifies your part in this great adventure and adds even more atmosphere.
Next to the Epic Quests there are of course also the usual bunch that can be received from NPC's. Both types are also divided into categories like those for Fellowships (parties), others that you can repeat over and over again to earn money, those where you need to transport an item, … These quests of course also improve your character.
As player you're part of "The Free People", a group consisting of four races: man, elves, dwarves and hobbits. Each race has its own starting area and classies. The different roles you can take on are Hunter, Guardian, Champion, Captain, Loremaster, Minstrel and Burglar. These are pretty consistent with the usual classes from other MMO's.
Everything sounds pretty familiar up to now except for the Epic Quests. That things don't sound so extremely new is normal seeing that these are standard things for an MMORPG but there's one game that has more things the same than any other with this title: World of Warcraft. Those that have played this topgame from Blizzard will quickly find their way in LOTRO. The map works in the same way, there's also an Auction Hall (Auction House in WoW) and weapons and armor are bound to you, again like in WoW. Also the party and raid system are equal.
An important part of a MMORPG is the PvP aspect and again we see similarities with World of Warcraft. You can just duel with other players in The Free World, but there's also Monster Play which I'll elaborate on later. Now don't start thinking this is just a copy of Blizzard's hit, there are more than enough new elements that make this game more than worth checking out.
"What is new?" That's of course the question and the answer is: quite a lot really. There's the possibility to trvel on a horse where in a game like WoW you have to wait the whole ride until you arrive. This has its charm but after a while you've seen it and want to have things moving a bit faster. LOTRO has found a solution called "Swift Travel" with which you teleport yourself to any chosen location (teleporting is a big word actually, you get to see yourself leaving on a horse and after a loading screen see yourself arriving on that same animal).
Another improvement are Deeds. When you undertake certain actions in a certain area you get a Deed in your Deeds list. Examples of such are completing a certain number of quests, killing a number of animals or finding certain locations. These nice additions are bound by area and as such you've got them for Bree, The Shire, and so on… Next to area deeds there are also some bound to your race or class.
When you successfully do your Deeds you'll either get a trait or a title. A trait can be seen as a talent from WoW, stuff that improves your character but usually you won't be able to immediately use it. First you'll have to go to a Minstrel where you can select your improvements at a certain price. The titles on the other hand are nothing more than some fun stuff to add after your name.
Another nice addition to the immersion is the possibility to play music. Indeed, play music yourself. You can acquire an instrument at the minstrel and then play your own version of the theme song of The A-Team in the middle of Bree-city. Work yourself up to become the pop idol of Middle-Earth and earn tons of… respect?
Also the crafting gor improved. Every crafter needs another profession to get higher up in his ability. The advantages of improving yourself are huge so it's really worth doing. You can do critical crafting when you're at the highest level and make more materials from one recipe than was prescribed. For instance, you can make a block of bronze from some tin and copper but when critical crafting you'll be able to get six of them instead of one. More efficient!
As last important element there's Monster Play that I already mentioned previously. Here you go fighting in an area around Angmar. You can choose on which side you want to play, you're a monster or a normal character. Your usual char can be upgraded while playing but a monster needs to be improved by spending destiny points on the skills of it. These are earned by levelling up or by killing other players in Monster Play. The whole principle of this PvP mode is based on controlling as many points as possible for your camp and sounds a lot like controlling the flags in Battlefield.
All these extras and innovations makes this game some sort of improved World of Warcraft. Better graphics, better sound, but most important better gameplay. Everything is set up that tidbit more logically and you're really rewarded for things you would just have to do in other MMO's because you have to. The game plays really fluid and very intuitive which makes it a real joy to occupy yourself.
Forget World of Warcraft, the competition has arrived and overclasses completely. The fun innovations, smoother gameplay, better graphics and filmic feel makes this game a huge success. Buy it… that's all I have to say.

Pepe Mel's future with West Bromwich Albion was under grave threat last night amid growing concerns about their prospects of avoiding relegation.
Yet Ben Foster, the West Brom goalkeeper, claimed it was "ridiculous" that the head coach's position should be under such scrutiny only two months after he took charge.
West Brom's 3-0 defeat at home to Manchester United on Saturday means that Mel has failed to win any of his seven matches since taking the reins, with only goal difference keeping the club out of the bottom three of the Premier League.

Welcome to W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute
About Us
Since its inception in 1988, the mission of the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute has been to develop a cadre of leaders/scholars with a commitment to eliminate poverty, racism, and inspire hope in communities that have experienced historical barriers to achievement and opportunity.
Our goal is to produce leaders that are committed to engaging their talents in the study of complex problems and to the prospect of contributing their abilities to the betterment of others. In keeping with the teachings of W.E.B. DuBois, we believe that the most effective leadership will come from our best and brightest minds. Recognizing that high achieving youth most likely will be the future problem solvers, they are the best sources of hope.
We believe that an effective leader must be committed to working with others to achieve common goals. The academic as well as residential components of the Institute stress the importance of collaborative learning and problem solving. Therefore, the process of analysis in problem solving is emphasized across the curriculum. The development of youths' leadership and scholarship potential can be best attained using a curriculum structured for intellectual acceleration rather than remedial instruction. Thus, the curriculum for each component of the Institute is designed to cultivate students' emotional and intellectual strengths and to sensitize them to the importance of their present and future contributions to the welfare of their communities.

The 1by-day and hotlegsandfeet sets from November 2010 are mentioned twice here.
Vanessa on gyno-x.com
There's a tall blond ID'd as Nadi, at TeenSexFusion (only solo stuff that I know of). It might be Samantha Heat.
@prnboy122, the creampie-angels link is now removed. There was a creampie-angels profile of her on that site, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore.
If actual proof for creampie-angels.com can't be provided, the link should be removed.
@te634,You're correct, thanks for reporting. One of the scenes was Samantha Heat instead of 70430/karina-e-1 . The profile photo was Samantha Heat. The problem is now solved.
it looks like big profile photo is from a solo scene at barelyofage.com where she is called Beata and that is 32933/netaI still don´t know if it is same as Karina M from creampie-angels.com
I have not seen scene at creampie-angels but women in big profile photo is 32933/neta

Platitudes about 'Product Stewardship' in Torts: Continuing Drug Research and Education
Lars Noah
University of Florida - Levin College of Law
December 15, 2008
Michigan Telecommunications and Technology Law Review, Vol. 15, 2009
This paper focuses on one emerging aspect of tort litigation against pharmaceutical manufacturers that, if it gained traction, portends a dramatic (and potentially counterproductive) expansion in the prescription drug industry's exposure to liability. A growing chorus of commentators would impose on pharmaceutical manufacturers a broader duty to test and educate (aspects of what they call an obligation of "product stewardship" or "informed choice"). This paper explains the serious flaws in such proposals, but it also suggests one novel basis for imposing liability (distribution restrictions) that might make some sense. Genuine product stewardship, at least if understood as an effort to make the most of a scarce resource, strikes me as far more defensible than the approaches suggested by other commentators.

Context Experienced clinicians' gestalt is useful in estimating the pretest
probability for pulmonary embolism and is complementary to diagnostic testing,
such as lung scanning. However, it is unclear whether recently developed clinical
prediction rules, using explicit features of clinical examination, are comparable
with clinicians' gestalt. If so, clinical prediction rules would be powerful
tools because they could be used by less-experienced health care professionals
to simplify the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Recent studies have shown
that the combination of a low pretest probability (using a clinical prediction
rule) and a normal result of a D-dimer test reliably excludes pulmonary embolism
without the need for further testing.
Objective To evaluate and demonstrate the accuracy of pretest probability assessment
for pulmonary embolism using clinical gestalt vs clinical prediction rules.
Data Sources The MEDLINE database was searched for relevant articles published between
1966 and March 2003. Bibliographies of pertinent articles also were scanned
for suitable articles.
Study Selection To be included in the analysis, studies were required to have consecutive,
unselected patients enrolled; participating physicians in the studies, blinded
to the results of diagnostic testing, had to estimate pretest probability
of pulmonary embolism; and validated diagnostic methods had to be used to
confirm or exclude pulmonary embolism.
Data Extraction Three reviewers independently scanned titles and abstracts for inclusion
of studies. An initial MEDLINE search identified 1709 studies, of which 16
involving 8306 patients were included in the final analysis.
Data Synthesis A clinical gestalt strategy was used in 7 studies, and in the low, moderate,
and high pretest categories, the rates of pulmonary embolism ranged from 8%
to 19%, 26% to 47%, and 46% to 91%, respectively. Clinical prediction rules
were used in 10 studies, and 3% to 28%, 16% to 46%, and 38% to 98% in the
low, moderate, and high pretest probability groups, respectively, had pulmonary
Conclusions The clinical gestalt of experienced clinicians and the clinical prediction
rules used by physicians of varying experience have shown similar accuracy
in discriminating among patients who have a low, moderate, or high pretest
probability of pulmonary embolism. We advocate the use of a clinical prediction
rule because it has shown to be accurate and can be used by less-experienced

New USDA Map May Mean Earlier Planting In North
A new map from the USDA has some northern gardeners hoping to grow plants that used to be considered too fragile for cold weather zones. The hardiness zone chart is about a half zone warmer than the last one issued in 1990. The USDA says the changes are not due to global warming, but to more sophisticated mapping methods. Seed sellers and buyers say that, whatever the reason, the warmer temperatures expand possibilities for planting this spring.

Matthew Parris, a self-avowed atheist, is a columnist for The Times Online, a London news magazine. He grew up in Africa and had the opportunity to return there. During his visit, he was confronted again with the positive difference Christianity made in the African peoples' lives. The article is linked below. Here is an excerpt:
We had friends who were missionaries, and as a child I stayed often with them; I also stayed, alone with my little brother, in a traditional rural African village. In the city we had working for us Africans who had converted and were strong believers. The Christians were always different. Far from having cowed or confined its converts, their faith appeared to have liberated and relaxed them. There was a liveliness, a curiosity, an engagement with the world – a directness in their dealings with others – that seemed to be missing in traditional African life. They stood tall.
As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God | Matthew Parris – Times Online.
Our experience has been similar. The Christians among the Palawano people are those courageous enough to interact with the outside world, and do things that will help their people as a whole.
Jesus said, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10 in NLT)
My question: What can Jesus possibly mean when he says he wants to give us a rich and satisfying life? Can we believe him? Is that the truth? What do you think, and what has your experience been in that area? Please leave a comment below.

Utilization Management Policy - Doctors Make the Decisions
People sometimes do not understand Utilization Management (UM) programs. At Coventry Health Care, UM is a system for reviewing the care that has been provided to our members.
Coventry Health Care uses a process called utilization management (UM) to review the care provided to our members. Our policy is to make decisions based on proven medical science. There are no financial incentives in the review process.
Important facts to know about our UM decisions:
- We use clinical decision tools and standards. Care and/or service must be medically necessary and delivered at the right site of care. Decisions also take into account your benefit plan and coverage.
- Decision making is based only on appropriateness of care and service and existence of coverage.
- Coventry Health Care does not reward practitioners or other individuals for denying coverage.
- Financial incentives for utilization decision makers do not encourage decisions that result in underutilization.
How We Evaluate New Technology
Doctors and health care manufacturers are constantly developing new technologies. They can include anything from a new way to perform a procedure to a new use for a piece of equipment. So Coventry Health Care, Inc. established a system to review and evaluate new technologies.
When a new technology is presented to Coventry, we do a thorough review of existing literature. The opinion of experts in the field may be requested. They may also contact the accrediting body of the appropriate medical specialty.
Coventry compares the information against established criteria. Then we decide whether to provide coverage. All of our decisions are based on making sure you have the appropriate care and services. We continue to focus on providing our members with quality health care products.
Enhanced Case Management
If you have a serious medical concern, you may ask to take part in our enhanced case management program. A caregiver may also do this for you. If you qualify, you will work with registered nurses who specialize in case management.
These nurses are trained in serious illness or high-risk conditions. They work with both you and your provider to identify your needs. Our nurses also help with the best use of resources. For more information on our Complex Case Management programs, or if you think you might benefit from our case management programs, please call the Customer Service number on your member ID card.
