The national economy expanded 1.2 per cent in the June quarter after shrinking a revised 0.9 per cent in the previous quarter, official data showed on Wednesday.
"It is pretty clear that today's figures give us all cause for confidence in the underlying resilience of our economy," Mr Swan told reporters in Canberra on Wednesday.
"They're encouraging figures, especially when you consider the challenges we see abroad."
He said many of the developed economies were experiencing sluggish growth or were still in recession since the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008.
The economy had rebounded to a more stable path of expansion following the hit in the first three months of 2011, Mr Swan said.
"The results show that economic growth and economic activity have returned more normal levels after the devastating impacts of last summer's natural disasters," he said.
The economy contracted in the March quarter as coal exports slumped on the closure of mines following the summer floods and cyclones.

- Publisher's Summary
- This up-to-date volume reviews the recent contributions of electron-positron colliders to the precision test of the electroweak Standard Model. In particular, it contains a short summary of the measurements at the Z resonance and gives an overview of the electroweak processes above the Z. Subsequently, the measurement of the W mass at LEP is discussed in detail. The implications for the precision test of the Standard Model are presented, giving the status of the global electroweak fit before the startup of Large Hadron Collider. The final chapters give an outlook on the electroweak physics at a future linear collider. The book also features many illustrations and tables. Readers obtain a coherent overview of the results of 20 years of electroweak physics conducted at electron-positron colliders.

Does saving the facial hair in between affect in the results of laser hair removal pls reply I hav finished 5 sittings and its about 8 mnts now I have hair grown on my chin and neck can I shave for d time being.
Regarding Laser Removal?
Doctor Answers 2
Regarding Laser Removal?
You should only be shaving the area between sessions, no waxing, threading, or plucking. Most patients need 6-9 laser treatments to see full result, if you're not seeing any difference you may want to suggest to your provider to adjust the settings on the laser. Make sure you're seeing a qualified laser tech who has worked on all skin types to avoid any sensitivity or discoloration to the skin and apply spf daily.
Best wishes
Shaving during hair removal treatment cycle
Hair removal devices target the hair follicle, which you do not affect by shaving. It's fine to shave in between treatments and actually you should go in clean shaven for your treatments so the device can target the follicle as much as possible.

Kiva Theatre
7125-7219 E. Main Street,
2 people favorited this theater
The Tee-Bar-Tee Theatre was opened June 18, 1948. It was renamed Kiva Theatre on October 17, 1955. Steven Spielberg attended Saturday morning matinees at this movie house growing up in Scottsdale in the 1950's, which included old serials from the 1930's and 1940's such as 'Tailspin Tommy' and the 'Masked Marvel'. These old serials that Spielberg watched at the Kiva Theatre as a boy would later greatly inspire his "Indiana Jones" trilogy.
The Kiva Theatre became an adult theatre from 1972-1993. The city applied pressure to have it closed and it was made available for someone to come along and operate it as a classic movie theatre, but there was no interest. It was gutted and is now a mini-mall, with most of the facade still in place.
Recent comments (view all 5 comments)
This became a porn/Grind-House theater in the late 1980's and by the late 1990's it was torn down!
I do recall adult/pornographic films being shown there as well, but can't recall exactly when, maybe the 70's and 80's.
The Kiva was never torn down. It is still there today as a mini-mall in downtown Scottsdale. The ticket booth is still there in its original place.
I worked for a small chain of Art Theatres from 1963-1973. The company was Art Theatre Guild, Inc. Founded by Louis K.Sher in Bexley, Ohio in 1955. The company moved its HQ to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1963. I started my career working at the Valley Art, along with the Kiva and Portofinos in Scottsdale. I was promoted to manager in 1964 and sent to Tucson to operate the original Loft Theatre located at 6th & Fremont, which I also lived in. I also managed the Fine Art in Fresno, The Rockhill in Kansas City, Missouri. The Cinema in Hollywood, the Art Theatre in Dayton along with the Little Art in Yellow Springs, Ohio and The Bexley (then first twin theatre in America) in Bexley, Ohio along with the World Theatre in Columbus and the Opera House in Granville, Ohio. I was the manager of the Bexley and World theatres from 1969 – 1973.

Jets reassign Klingberg to IceCaps Posted by IceCaps on
The Winnipeg Jets today announced they have reassigned forward Carl Klingberg to the St. John's IceCaps.
Klingberg, 20, played in six games with the Winnipeg Jets since his recall on Nov. 30/11. During that time he collected four penaty minutes. He started this season in 20 games with the IceCaps collecting 16 points (9g, 7a) and 10 penalty minutes. The Gothenburg, Sweden scored the IceCaps first goal on home ice and started the 2011-12 season with six goals in six games, including the team's first-ever hat-trick on Oct. 15 versus the Hamilton Bulldogs at Mile One Centre.
Klingberg was originally drafted by Atlanta in the second round, 34th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn was shocked that romance rumors spread so quickly about her and football star Tim Tebow.
The star skier sat down with Access Hollywood Live's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover - in an interview airing on Thursday - where she had a laugh about the rumors linking her with the new Jets quarterback.
PLAY IT NOW: Donald Trump: Tim Tebow Joining The Jets Is 'Going To Be Very Interesting'
"Is it hard being single now, because you're so pretty and out there? You did one Tebow move and next thing you're married with a baby with him," Kit asked Lindsey, referring to her celebratory Tewboing after her World Cup victory in December that first sparked the romance rumors.
"Who knew it could go that fast?" the athlete said.

"He's a stud... why not date him?" Billy said of Tebow.
"I'm not going to say that," Lindsey, who is friends with the NFL star's brother Robby Tebow, said.
Lindsey explained that her post-race Tebowing in December had been approved ahead of time by the athlete's family.

"I asked his brother, I got permission. Everyone else just does Tebowing, I actually had permission from family," she continued.
Adding with a laugh, "[Robby] and I were both very surprised that I married [Tim] and had five kids. I didn't know that could happen so fast."

The 27-year-old Olympic star said that she even reached out to the Tebow family after the rumors began to snowball.
"I talk to Robby all the time and we're like, 'This is really weird. Just tell Timmy I'm sorry and I don't know what's going on," she told Billy and Kit.
There might not be a romance between the athletes, but Lindsey said she'll continue to be in Tebow's corner now that he's playing for the Jets.
"Gotta support the husband," she joked.

A group of 11 mobile operators in the Asia-Pacific have banded together to form an M2M alliance aimed at offering a "one-stop-shop" experience for M2M deployments in the region.
The alliance members are drawn from the Bridge Alliance – a partnership of 31 mobile operators that have been working together on the launch of enterprise and roaming services – and have logically named the new group the Bridge M2M Alliance.
They include Airtel (New Delhi, India), AIS (Bangkok, Thailand), CSL (Hong Kong), Globe Telecom (Manila, Philippines), Maxis (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), MobiFone (Hanoi, Vietnam), Optus (Sydney, Australia), SingTel (Singapore), SK Telecom (Seoul, South Korea), Taiwan Mobile (Taipei) and Telkomsel (Jakarta, Indonesia) and serve a combined customer base of more than 500 million subscribers.
The group says it will eliminate the complexity of dealing with multiple operators by offering "seamless delivery of regional M2M services across geographical borders".
It also aims to improve service experience through interoperability, service levels and customer support.
"Asia is made up of highly varied economies, uneven technological development and diversified regulatory requirements," said Alessandro Adriani, Bridge Alliance's chief executive.
"As a result, multinational businesses find it extremely difficult to navigate the intricacies of the region and to fully capitalise on economies of scale," added Adriani. "The evolution of Bridge Alliance in the M2M business is an indication of the commitment from the 11 operators to overcome these challenges for the success of customers' businesses."
Besides collaborating in technical areas, Bridge M2M Alliance members plan to work together on commercial arrangements in a variety of industries, including vehicle telemetry, security and energy management.
They say this will allow them to create new products and service and lower customers' operational costs, as well as develop an ecosystem involving players from other parts of the value chain, such as module makers and service providers.
The group believes that it is ideally placed to support multinational companies "hoping to ride on Asia's growth", as well as Asian companies look to expand globally.
Although focused on Asia, the Bridge M2M Alliance appears to be the third major international association of operators targeting the M2M opportunity, after the Global M2M Association and the M2M World Alliance.
Indeed, SingTel is already a member of the M2M World Alliance – whose aims are broadly the same as those of the Bridge M2M Alliance – and it is unclear whether its membership of the latter will have any bearing on its involvement in the former.


text: That's horrible. Don't they use one of those expensive cutting dye machines to cut them? They should be perfect! I would complain, even if I had already cut them. I would gather all the pieces and return them and look through the rest of them with a measuring tape and see if I could find one that was 10" exactly. Also, I would google Moda's phone number and call them directly and complain. Tell them how you wasted time cutting them. Make them understand how wrong it is that they are not 10" exactly. Aren't they like $29.95? That's a lot of money to buy pre-cuts that are cut wrong. Especially when they are cut too small.

Disney and Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy has unveiled a second trailer introducing the motley crew of space bandits and bruisers of the August 1 superhero team-up. Chris Pratt stars as Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) alongside Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Benicio del Toro, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Gregg Henry, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel. James Gunn (Slither, Super) directs from the script he wrote with Nicole Perlman. The new trailer offers a closer look at the lineup of heroes and villains for those not already intimately familiar with the lesser-known Marvel comic book characters. Meanwhile GotG fans get a taste of Diesel's tree-like superhero Groot, who delivers his one line of dialogue in the new promo:
Hot Trailer: 'Guardians Of The Galaxy'
65 Comments
Meh. Chris Pratt is no RDJ.
Nobody said he was. Totally different characters and actors.
I was actually thinking he'd make a pretty good Henry Jones Jr.
I'm very tired of RDJ as Iron Man. He's whiny not witty. I hope Disney recasts the role with Dylan McDermott. He would be a great Iron Man.
You're joking, right? I'm struggling to think of an actor better cast in anything? RDJ is the perfect actor for Tony Stark/Iron Man.
I hope they lose a fortune with this piece of cheesy trash. How is this real? Feel like I'm living in a twilight zone. At least we have Interstellar to look forward too.
Wow, you stated a fact. Chris Pratt is indeed a completely different human being form RDJ.
This is probably the biggest risk Marvel have ever taken. They must have a lot of faith in this thing.
I didn't know Green Lantern was getting a sequel.
Haaaahhh!!! Whew! You are so right!
Looks damn good to me. But I'm biased, I like outer space odyssey's with a lot of humor and a fun cast of up and comers.
Remember that other cheesy looking space opera that every studio passed on back in the mid-seventies until Fox picked it up as a Summer programmer? They had so little faith in this motley crew of space marauders they even let the creator/director retain 100% of the merchandising? Yeah, that one. This movie could follow suit.
A huge risk for Marvel – I thought they were stupid for even considering it – but man does it look like fun! It may suck, but I'm damn excited to see it and find out for myself.
Had the same response. Can pretty much predict every frame and beat in, say, "Transformers 4," "Maleficent," "Edge of Tomorrow" or most of the other tentpoles this summer. This thing really looks like "anything goes." Can't wait.
Future tax Write Off
Yes! This movie look freakin' amazing! Cannot wait to see this!
Guardians of the Galaxy = bunch of a-holes
Shut up and take my money!
Seriously. What is the most efficient way for me to exchange my money for the opportunity to watch this?
Screw you naysayers. This movie looks fantastic and I can't wait for it to come out.
You must be the only one. This has guaranteed suck written all over it.
Not since Scott Pilgrim has a movie trailer left me so bored and annoyed.
Perfect August "popcorn" movie. Perfect end-of-summer film. HUGE commercial potential. Great trailer.
Big risk but looks great!!! Pratt might not be RDJ but who cares, looks like he's going to do his own thing. I'm sold.
Do none of you remember that RDJ was a Hollywood pariah who got paid less than Terrence Howard for significantly more screen time in Iron Man? Everyone talks about the massive $$$ he's got from Marvel, but what about the 6-figures they paid him for the first movie because that was his going rate?
You wanna talk about public knowledge of this comic franchise vs. something even grandma knows like Captain America? Fair point. But trying to compare Pratt or anyone else to 2008 RDJ like he was expected to carry a movie just proves you have no idea what you're talking about.
Word. The industry is jealous of Marvel Studio's success so they love to throw stones. Here, they're taking a chance but doing it right, by producing a quality movie on every level that doesn't talk down to the fans.
And what ho, a LIGHTER COMEDIC take on superheroes?! I thought every comic book movie had to have a revenge element where the hero's parents were murdered or something. Nope, this one is why comics have thrived for decades: FUN.
Bingo. I think this really satisfies an unmet need – something light, fun, surprising, different. Enough with the superhero sturm und drang!
In the comic, Meredith Quill (Star-Lord's mother) does get murdered.
Pratt doesn't need to be RDJ. Iron Man was basically a one-man show. Pratt has plenty of help. Vin Diesel has a fan base, Zoe Saldana is hot, sounds like Bradley Cooper's voice acting is right on target and funny, and isn't there some WWE guy in this too? That's another fan base.
Plus the Marvel brand is a huge draw in and of itself and there's nothing like this movie on the horizon – funny, daring, crazy. It reminds me of a TV show probably 5% of the people here ever saw: Farscape. Pratt is playing the Crichton character, surrounded (and outclassed) by a lot of zany, high-octane aliens in a rainbow of colors. I loved Farscape, so I'm in.
I couldn't agree more. This film looks like a perfect jumping-off point for Pratt's live-action career. Not to mention this movie has a levity that is absolutely infectious, in my opinion. Looks like a riot!
Correction: John Crichton was a fish-out-of-a-water. Chris Pratt seems to be playing the role of a wisecracking rogue- Mal of Firefly/Serenity fame, to be exact. Even better!
Love the Farscape reference. Your comment is spot-on!
It was worse than that John. They actually withheld a large portion of Robert Downey Jr.'s wages until the movie was completed. The main reason being because of his very checkered past with drugs. He did a great job. I have liked most of his movies, and he appears to keep ahead of his previous drug problems. That is a great thing, because he is doing childrens films of course.
My point is he was being screwed by Marvel with him holding the bottom of his feet, but he earned that. And he earned the ability to screw Marvel over for tons of cash for each Iron Man film if he wants to. But he is choosing to leave the series. Great and powerful actor if he can put his mind to it :)
YAWN. Next?
This may be Marvel's first major misstep since the Fantastic Four sequel. Expect some "staff right-sizing" later this year.
Fantastic Four is Fox, not Marvel. Try again.
I WISH Marvel would do FF. Then it wouldn't suck!
First, Marvel was making a huge mistake by making Iron Man, because it was a property that wasn't well known.
Next, Disney was making a huge mistake by wildly over paying for a Marvel property that was lacking its biggest assets in Spider Man and the X-Men/Wolverine.
Then, Disney was wrong to set up an Avengers movie featuring the lesser known, and less successful on their own than IM or SM or XM in Thor and Captain America. The Avengers project was too costly and would never make enough money to justify the cost.
All of the above things were said by industry types on this and similar sites.
And they were all wrong. I get that employees at competing studios are bummed. Disney/Marvel has a property that can churn out 1-4 huge films, per year, for the next half decade or longer. Many will suck the air out of entire months. Competitors know this and throw shade and make snide comments.
And they ARE all wrong. Will Disney's Marvel films all be perfect? Nope. But most will be pretty darn good, and pretty darn successful. Coming on here, even anonymously, to bad mouth the property just makes you all look sad.
Marvel has made the art of American filmmaking less interesting not more. That's what people are lamenting, not their hit-making machine. I'm sure marvel will make a ton on GOTG — but judging by the lame-ass comic book they pump out based on this "property" I'm sure the movie will be a predictable snooze. This is junk food, targeting a nation of medicated 13 year olds.
All it needs is fun, humor, action – plenty of mediocre movies do very well just by keeping the audience from falling asleep.
And the raccoon's gonna steal the show.
Don't call him a raccoon. He hates that.
If this doesn't look like fun to you, you're probably an insufferable asshole.
Agreed. The trailer looks like a lot of fun. Just saw Slither on cable, and James Gunn sure knew how to pack in both the humor and thrills, it was a total blast and never took itself too seriously. Hoping this will be the same entertaining popcorn flick as Slither.
Where's the FUN?!
"Oh, what the hell, I don't have that long a lifespan anyway!"
That's the line that got me, too. :D
If you make idiotic assumptions about people based on what they think about movie trailers, then YOU'RE the asshole, asshole.
Where are the jokes? This trailer isn't as funny as the previous ones for GoG.
I can't imagine what kind of hip, jaded jackass you'd have to be not to think this looks like a ton of fun. Maybe it won't work, but the trailer is a blast.
Really? This really looks as shitty as Green Lantern was?
I'm sorry you have lost all sense of wonder, fun, and awe of anything badass.
This reminds me so much of The Ice Pirates.
Or Space Truckers
Actually it reminds me of Spaceballs, only without the humor. Blonde white guy lead –check. Furry sidekick –check. Hot girl with an attitude –check. Authoritarian bad guys who seem more like an "empire" than anything else –check.
I'm sorry, somebody was trying to tell me this movie is going to be good, right?
Who are the "authoritarian bad guys"? Are you speaking of John C. Riley and Nova Corps? Because if so, they aren't the bad guys. Nova Corps actually work with The Guardians, the trailer even alludes to this at the end.
Wrong director.
I remember well that Green Lantern looked so bad to me, I never bothered to see it. GotG looks great and I'm seeing it in the theater.
That horrible Godzilla movie, where Godzilla is relegated to cameo status in his own alleged movie, is cleaning up at the BO. So the bar to success is obviously not set high.
Caveat emptor: I also thought Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer looked like a blast. :p
The geek squad of rotten tomatoes list Guardians as the #5 most anticipated summer movie (the first non-sequel on the list after X-Men, Spider-Man, Planet of the Apes and How to Train Your Dragon), which I trust a lot more than a bunch of suspicious snide remarks on an industry site known to be frequented by studio plants.
Uhm ,studio "plants" are people who pop up on websites trying to hype-up films that are sure to be crap. They mindlessly cut and paste the same "This movie is gonna rock!" comments over and over.
They call mediocre dialogue, cliche characters and tons of CGI with no purpose at all "exciting" and "fun." Kind of like the comments ou and others have been making.
And they're part of the reason it sucks to go to the movies now. A real "skeptic" would be suspicious of a flick that looks like a typical SFX-driven, lame-jokes, derived piece of stale theater-bait being "great."
I'm sure Disney creamed their pants when they thought about a talking raccoon in a superhero movie, but that was no justification for this. Seems they've learned nothing from John Carter or the Lone Ranger.
Hard to believe people are trash talking this. They are printing money over there. This will KILL at the box office.
guys this movie hasn't even come out yet stop throwing so much shade. just keep an optimistic point of view and hope that its better than they expected

An explosion and arson caused at least two of three recent structure fires in Barrow County.
No injuries were reported in any of the fires.

At about 6 a.m. Monday, a fire was reported on the 900 block of Austin Road in Winder.
Fire crews found a construction trailer fully involved upon arrival, said Lt. Scott Dakin with Barrow County Fire and Emergency Services.
Another fire was reported at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday on the 300 block of Scenic Lane in Auburn.
"Upon arrival, firefighters found a split-level home that was fully involved in fire," Dakin said. "The home was ignited after an explosion occurred."
Six adults and two teens were at home at the time of the fire, but all were able to leave the home uninjured, according to Dakin.
The home was a total loss. The cause of the explosion and fire is under investigation.
"Due to the amount of damage caused by the fire and the fact that there was some type of explosion, it will take extra work to determine what ... happened," said Chief Fire Investigator Lt. Blair Darst. "We will be working with several outside experts on this investigation to determine the origin and cause."
At about midnight Sunday, communication officers received a call reporting a fire on the 600 block of Highway 211 in Winder.
"Smoke was visible through the windows of the home at the arrival of firefighters," Dakin said. "Upon investigation they found a small fire located near the middle of the home."
The fire was quickly extinguished. The home was under renovation and was vacant at the time.
Dakin called the fire a result of arson.
The investigation is being handled by the Fire Investigation Division and the Barrow County Sheriff's Office.

Inspection of clinical trials (GCP inspection)
The aim of inspecting clinical trials is to ensure that the trials meet the standards for good clinical practice (GCP). This includes attention to trial subject well being, safety and rights as well as good data quality.
The Danish Medicines Agency has statutory authority to control any company etc. that carries out or has carried out clinical trials of medicinal products in Denmark (cf. section 90(2) of the Danish Medicines Act, no. 1180 of 12 December 2005).
We inspect clinical trials both in Denmark and abroad. This includes inspections coordinated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). EMA inspections follow European procedures.
Apart from inspections of individual trials, we also perform system inspections covering several trials, where the inspection particularly focuses on e.g. monitoring, handling of adverse reaction reporting, etc.
We make a risk-based assessment to select which clinical trials to inspect.
Via the factbox to the right, you can find further information about guidelines for good clinical practice and GCP inspections.
Inspection reports in the national program
Once we have completed a GCP inspection, we draw up an inspection report for the inspected parties and the entity responsible for the clinical trial (sponsor) or the sponsor's representative. The inspected parties can be one or more of the following: investigator, sponsor, contract research organisation (CRO), manufacturer, hospital pharmacy and laboratory.
One inspection report is prepared for each GCP inspection to be given to the inspected parties. We always send the report to the sponsor or the sponsor's representative.
The content of the report depends on the inspected site and the background for and scope of the inspection. The report includes data on time and place of the inspection, inspection participants, a description of observations and a list of deviations from current legislation, guidelines, trial protocol and own procedures.
Inspections are carried out as spot checks within one or more areas of the trial. Conditions, procedures or processes not specifically described in the report should not be considered an indirect authorisation or accept from the Danish Medicines Agency.
Inspection reports classify deviations as 'critical', 'major' or 'minor' with reference to the classification used in inspections performed for the EMA (read more on classification via the link in the box to the right).
Deviations are classified depending on the concrete circumstances of each individual inspection and they are evaluated relative to the deviation's risk to trial subject safety and integrity as well as data quality. This means that seemingly similar deviations may be classified differently in two different inspections.
The immediate assessment of the gravity of the deviations is reflected in the report's conclusion and the subsequent correspondence in connection with any additional justifications.
The Danish Medicines Agency adds the inspection findings to the European Clinical Trials Database, EudraCT.

The battles of Coral & Balmoral: May-June 1968
Monday 12 May 2008 by Mal Booth. 1 comment
Personal Stories, Collection, Official records, Private Records, Technology
Forty years ago, in May/June 1968 Australian soldiers fought their largest, most sustained and arguably most hazardous battles of the Vietnam War. Units of the 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF) confronted regimental-sized formations of the North Vietnamese regular army in fierce actions around Fire Support Patrol Bases (FSPB) Coral and Balmoral in what was then known as Bien Hoa province. The location of FSPBs Coral and Balmoral are marked by blue symbols on this satellite map.
Representatives of the units involved in the battles have established the National 40th Coral and Balmoral Anniversary Committee, which is coordinating commemorative events in Canberra and Townsville starting on 12 May 2008. More information can be found on the DVA website.
The first of the battles occurred at FSPB Coral when massed enemy units attacked the base in the early hours of 13 May 1968. Australian units withstood heavy enemy attacks during which a mortar platoon and two gun positions were partly over-run. The Australians drove off the enemy after fierce close-quarter actions. The battle lasted over two hours. The task force suffered 11 killed in action and 28 wounded. In one mortar platoon five soldiers were killed and eight were wounded from a total strength of 18 men. One howitzer and two mortars were damaged. The enemy left 52 dead strewn throughout and around the fire support base.
A history of Australian artillery records that the attack on Coral was "the most sustained ground attack on an Australian field gun position since the Pacific war. Yet the gunners recovered their guns and were in action, supporting the infantry, the following morning."
Over the following four weeks, in further actions around FSPB Coral and Balmoral, Australian soldiers accounted for over 300 enemy soldiers killed. They also captured hundreds of enemy weapons. In return, 26 Australian soldiers died: two from 12 Field Regiment; one from 104 Signals Squadron; 16 from 1 RAR; 6 from 3 RAR and one from 161 Independent Reconnaisance Squadron. Over 100 Australians were wounded. Australian Army regiments involved in the series of battles were later awarded one of the five battle honours approved for the Vietnam War.

Dylan inducted as honorary member of arts academy
FILE – Bob Dylan arrives for a ceremony to receive [auth] the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the East Room of the White House, in this May 29, 2012 file photo taken in Washington. Dylan couldn't be there to be inducted Wednesday May 15, 2013 into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, but his presence was felt in both letter and spirit. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Chabon had long been mystified by that Bob Dylan lyric about "midnight's broken toe."
The Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, the keynote speaker Wednesday at the annual induction ceremony of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, was explaining his undiminished passion for rock music and confiding that he had become obsessed by the opening line to Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom."
"Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toe."
The answer was both simple and embarrassing; Dylan was singing about "midnight's broken toll," not toe.
"How many hours I had devoted to (the idea) … that midnight had toes, and that one of them, the big one, had been broken," Chabon said.
Rock 'n roll was officially welcomed by the 115-year-old academy, an "honor society" proud to call itself elite and home to some of the country's leading writers, composers, architects, painters and sculptors. On Wednesday, Dylan was inducted as an honorary member, becoming the first rock star to join an academy that includes E.L. Doctorow, Chuck Close and John Ashbery.
Chabon, giving an address delivered in previous years by Robert Frost and E.M. Forster among others, titled his speech "Rock 'n' Roll," a title and concept he swears he thought of before learning that Dylan had been elected. To laughter, applause and a few frowns, he shifted from tributes to such "exuberant" poets as Frank O'Hara to boyish pleasure over passages from Dylan, Dire Straits, the Ramones and the Doors.
"Song lyrics have arguably mattered more to me" than writers of prose and poetry, said Chabon, whose latest novel, "Telegraph Avenue," is set in part at a record store. "Song lyrics are part of my literary firmware, programmed permanently into my 'read only' memory."
It was an unusual setting to hear Chabon —or anyone — recite the Ramones' punk chant, "Beat on the brat, with a baseball bat, oh yeah." The ceremony was held in the pillared, high-ceilinged auditorium at the academy's beaux arts complex in upper Manhattan. Chabon, who turns 50 this month, was voted in last year and returned Wednesday to give the keynote talk, known as the Blashfield Address.
The academy welcomed three new members to its core group of 250 — author Ward Just and artists Terry Winters and Richard Tuttle. A wide range of prizes were handed out, with recipients ranging from novelist Jennifer Egan to NPR host Ira Glass.
Mixing high culture and pop culture, Chabon's speech revived an argument that Dylan helped start decades ago: Are rock lyrics "poetry"? Are rock musicians "artists"? He answered both "yes" and "no." Remembering an anthology of rock lyrics his poetry professor gave him 30 years ago, he acknowledged that even treasured lines from the Beatles flattened on the page, "looking plucked and forlorn, like Foghorn Leghorn after a brush with the Tasmanian Devil."
But the wrong questions were being asked, he added. If rock lyrics were not poetry, they were "writing," real writing, with "tropes and devices," "rhetorical strategies," "allusions and imagery."
"The question of whether or not Dylan's lyrics are poetry feels irrelevant," Chabon said. "Dylan's lyrics are writing, and his writing has influenced my own writing as much, if not more, than any poet apart from O'Hara and Edgar (Allan) Poe."
Dylan thought enough of the academy to accept entry. But anticipation — wishful thinking — that he might turn up ended early in the two-hour ceremony. Dylan has been touring, architect and academy president Henry N. Cobb announced, and sent his regrets. Dylan really did send them, in a statement thanking the academy and adding that he looked "forward to meeting all of you, sometime soon."
Dylan wasn't there, but a performer of comparable acclaim not only attended, but took on extra duties: Meryl Streep. When Stephen Sondheim was unable to attend and present awards for musical theater, the Oscar-winning actress stepped in. Streep, elected as an honorary member in 2011, later handed a "distinguished service" prize to dancer Edward Villella, who was greeted not only with applause, but with shouts and whistles — as if he were a rock star.

One prominent rugby commentator says Sonny Bill Williams' future is being dragged down by his management.
Newstalk ZB's Phil Gifford says the player had the potential to be a fantastic international rugby player, but he hasn't really fired a shot since what he describes as that ludicrous boxing bout with a sickness beneficiary.
"In many ways it would seem to me the relationship he has with his manager Khoder Nasser is a little similar to the relationship Elvis Presley had with Colonel Tom Parker, it seems the management has called all the shots,'' he told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking.

Default retirement age of 65 will be abolished
13 January 2011
As anticipated, the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills has today confirmed that the default retirement age of 65 will be abolished from 1st October 2011.
The coalition government's Response to Consultation Paper responds to employers' concerns expressed during the consultation process, stating that it considers that the dismissal of older workers should be managed by either discussion or formal performance management procedures. There is, however, an exemption which will be introduced for group risk insured benefits such as medical insurance. There was an understandable concern that employers would stop offering such benefits if it became too expensive to pay the premiums due to an ageing workforce. It will therefore not be unlawful to discriminate on grounds of age when providing benefits of this kind. Full details are likely to follow when the draft legislation is published.

Re: Zerodha....
can one withdraw funds on non trading days like saturday etc.?
Re: Zerodha....
1. No margin for buying options......you can buy options as per your capital only.
2. for short selling options intraday, you should have 7K - 12k depending upon strike price...ATM/ITM/OTM.....etc...
@ newbie12345
1. No margin for stock futures...
2. you can buy/short them intraday for half of the span margin.
3. for holding them you need full margin amount.
Re: Zerodha....
Hi zerodha,
please see the below link.
What is the meaning of " Alternative brokerage plan of 0.1% for delivery trades and 0.01% for intraday trades are available upon request. Contact us for details."
As per the statement in the above link 200 reliance shares delivery brokerage is Rs.40/- ( buy-20/-+ Sell-20/-). As per alternative brokerage plan it is coming Rs.200/- at the rate of 0.1%.
Please explain in this regard.
Re: Zerodha....
NSE Cash Market - Intraday=0.01% , Delivery=0.1%
NSE FnO Segment- 20/Trade (Executed Order)
This plan is very helpful for those traders' whose turnover is below 2Lc...
Ask Mr. Sachin or mailing firstname.lastname@example.com, for their brokerage calculator... That will make you understand the scenario better...

Re: Zerodha....
2. no doubt NSE got some quality security. but my frnd Firefox is truly a genuine thing. its developed & used by cores of ppl every day. its open source. the warning issued by Firefox need not to be taken lightly.
in the world of internet security, there is no thing like "100% full proof". every thing can be breached. We have seen people from neighbor country breaching into the system of DRDO offices & taking away vital national security information. the information which is worth 10 times 1,00,000 cores. same goes for some chineses kids breaking into the the computers of CIA, white house & many top level US agencies.
the point i am stressing here is: the so called most secured things are the most vulnerable in online world. history indicates so.
i always feel better to be safe than sorry. that's why i thought it will be a good thing to raise the alarm in some form. Never take security issues so lightly. even if they are false positive.
anyways, i hope this will not be the case for Zerodha & we are all secured here.
But hope is very dangerous thing in online world & in stocks trading. (my experience tells me so)
just my 2 cents. nothing personal here.

Re: Zerodha....
now i anit big techie but once in sbicapsec there was such error too after i formatted my system. what i did was kept my internet security level in i.e. to high from medium-high hence got many false positives.. may be you have high level security in i.e. settings or in your firewall settings.
2ndly i used i.e. site when my a/c was activated but nsenow wasn't and since i'm on limited bandwidth plan i got screwed up badly as spending 3 hours cost me 130+mb on i.e. by afternoon i reliased it and shifted to chrome but it was not working so well so i used i.e. extension and result was only 9mb in 1 hour and 30 odd minutes. what i'm trying to say is instead of using lbs there is better option for fast as well as bandwidth saving to use chrome.
and as i said i aint any techie hence take my answer just as a passer by tells you when your car gets stop, "petrol check karo, khatam ho gaya hoga".
Re: Zerodha....
lets assume you hit a jackpot and you had a percentage based plan so far and you want to put 50 lacs in one go.. that would be 5000 in delivery and 500+500 intraday buying and selling! wait.. call zerodha, ask them to change your plan from percentage to per order wait to confirmation and bingo.. you can save rs 4980 or 960 just by 1 call! and next day you again want to shift to percentage, call them again.. std from mobile costs 50 paisa these days.. it aint that costly for saving some dimes.

Re: Zerodha....
1. For buying options you need to have your entire premiums... 10 times margin is for trading intraday stocks...
2. We don't provide 50k for options, For option writing the margin required is 50% of SPAN , with 5k you could probably just short 1 lot of a deep out of the money option....

Video: Raconteurs Rock Treasure Island
Sep 22, 2008
The Treasure Island Music Festival featured some of the best talent on the planet, but headliners, the Raconteurs, blew things out of the water. If you heard them from across the Bay (which was very possible, given the decibel level), you were lucky - they absolutely rocked it. With truly astonishing musicianship, Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler rocked through "Rich Kid Blues," "Hold Up," "Steady as She Goes" and "Broken Boy Soldier." General reaction? Holy S---. Check out "Level" below.

MSNBC Revises Roles of Olbermann, Matthews
Posted on Sep 7, 2008
Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will no longer anchor MSNBC's coverage of major political events, but will instead provide analysis for the network's David Gregory, who will sit in the anchor's chair. The network was under pressure, both internal and external, to rein in its two leading men, whose politics are well known. Olbermann himself initiated the move.

I think Obermann got caught up in the the competition for ratings in the US news & commentary business that overly relies on "personality" and screaming at the cameras.
Obermann could have continued along the path to Edward R. Murrow but instead chose an O'Reilly style of delivery.
Amy Goodman is the best reporter & commentator while maintaining a professional style. Obermann froths at the mouth - copying O'Reilly's way of attracting viewers.
Rachel Maddow - Good Luck and Good Night.

I used to value Obermann, he is now just a mirror image of Bill O'Reilly. Obermann is now so biased, he has become a laughing stock amongst those who value reasoned political debate. He has let the Left/Progressive movement down by turning into just another yelling talking head.

I have to agree with a comment earlier that Tom Brokaw is a "journalist" and KO and CM are somewhat opinionated.
I watched KO absolutely eviserate(sp?) Hillary Clinton during the primary because he supports Obama.
I watched Tom Brokaw for years and years, and sometimes, just sometimes, you could see a sort of look of disgust on his face when he was reporting, but he did not editorialize.
KO and CM have their place, but not as unbiased journalist reporting the news. Leave that stuff to the reporters. I mean, such as they are these days. But I think Brokaw IS a journalist.
By mackTN, September 8, 2008 at 2:45 pm Link to this comment
So, if the republicans had not complained about the coverage, MSNBC would have made these changes anyway?
Chris Matthews has truly evolved, hasn't he? He used to be Bush-right, but when the Iraq War began to go south, Chris became highly critical of the administration. He's an example of the kind of disgust thinking people on the right formed about Bush and their party.
Who's next? Campbell Brown for her rocking interview with Tucker Bounds?
Why don't we let the government staff the media from now on?

I have always wondered if in fact those folks who call themselves liberal or conservative know what a conservative or liberal really is. If you have to form your opinions based on what you see on television then the end is clearly in sight. I would have much more respect for the various news organizations if they would just call their offerings just what they are - entertaintment.

CNN and Fox News already, and well-known, lean far to the right and no one says anything.
One network has the guts to *gasp* have two liberal leaning hosts and the world comes crashing down.

What a shame. I consider Olbermann to be McCain's secret weapon - with opponents as distasteful and obnoxious as Keith is (he must have been beat up every day in high school) people would certainly shy away from socialist Obama. But, alas, we got a new secret weapon - the equally despised Maddow.

Kids more important than acting: Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow says acting became unimportant to her when she had kids with husband, Chris Martin.
London: Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says acting became unimportant to her when she had kids with husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
The 39-year-old, who has two children - daughter Apple, seven, and five-year-old son Moses - said she lost her sense of being an artist after she gave birth, reported Daily Mail.
"When I first had my kids, I just didn't want to be anywhere else. Now they are older, I feel my sense of self coming back as an artist. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get good parts later in my life - like Meryl Streep. But still I've starred in a lot of great films and won a lot of great awards," Paltrow said.
The actress also said she loves the kind of roles she is getting as she can work and not have to be away from her kids for too long.
"I just had the summer off with them and now they're back to school again. Then what I'll do is look for more interesting supporting-size parts. I have not starred in a movie since I had my daughter seven years ago because it's too much. I would never see them and there's no point," Paltrow added.

BUT it depends on the generation.......
Come on PJ I know you're drunk but you gotta read dude
and don't call me that. It makes me feel like a meth head from Arkansas and I REFUSE to be mistaken for a guy from fricking Arkansas
I can respect that, and I think the world of Jack White. Just speaking personally, I know both have had a significant impact on my influences when it comes to playing guitar. I'm thinking how I want to play like them, and how I would love to do what they do. Mimicking their riffs over and over, trying to get their sounds. I've watched youtube videos of both for years and years learning where they got their inspiration from. I wouldn't be into the Allman Bros, Jimi, SRV, etc. and blues music in general near as much as I am today if it weren't for them. I think both along with Joe Bonamassa and Derek Trucks, will all be looked back as all time great guitar players down the road though.

Second page and no mention of Thom Yorke
OK what is YOUR generation????
SORRY!!! I will call you CLAPTON from now on. feel better??????????
his John Mayer counterpart.
See I listened to them all my life if it wasn't for them I would've never gotten into White Stripes, Black Keys, Gary Clark jr etc etc
My only worry with them is will they stand the test of time since most don't know who they are even now?
BTW I think Gary Clark Jr. could very well be in this conversation in a few years if he lives up to the potential that I believe he has.
In that last Mayer interview I read in rolling stone, he said something to the effect of him and Jack White both being something special. The last ounce of respect that kept me from wanting to choke the douche out of him was gone
Never mention Mayer and White in the same breath. Eva
but it all started to click and I feel in love with that kind of music when I was probably 17 or so.
I think any kid that gets really serious into playing guitar, especially blues, will come across these guys, and when they do they will be blown away.
Seeing him live will sell pretty much anyone on him
I see nothing wrong with what he said. They are both very famous musicians, and passionate about what they do. There are not many that play what they do and achieve success like that. The radio is filled with pop and rap, yet these 2 get their music played despite not being the norm of what you heard today. You can think he is arrogant all you want, but he plays what he wants to play, and he, just like White, is very good at it. If Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy are all fine with him, not to mention SRVs tech guy choosing to be Johns, I think that says something. The douche you want to choke
DUDE. You are DEEP into your music. I respect that. KUDOS!!!!!!!!
BUT call me old fashion, BUT I just got done cranking Lynyrd Skynyrd "FREEBIRD" on the headphones and am still at AWE on how they came to be able to do THAT at THAT time in the Fox theatre in Atlanta in 1976. THAT song is unreal as far as writing and the ability to put EVERYTHING togather at THAT MOMENT in time. ITS Priceless
HOWEVER, in his defense great rock n roll minds have few options. They are either douches, a-holes, dicks or just unbelievably goddamned weird.
I wish he'd just avoid the media at all costs, shut the frick up, and play music.
Its a fricking shame but as great as Freebird is I absolutely cannot stomach listening to it anymore.
Actually there are very few Skynyrd songs I can still jam (Needle and the spoon is one of them I will never be able to shake my addiction to that song). Its just that classic radio stations have just completely and totally ruined Skynyrd for me add in the complete joke of a band they call "Lynyrd Skynyrd" currently and it just makes me fricking sick.

To me, it appeared Suggs was mostly MIA yesterday. I know he missed a few assignments by staying in his lanes during the Giant runs. This was a anomaly, b/c Suggs, all year, has been excellent with his run support. As far as generating a pass rush, he did not look like he got in Manning's face much. I am getting a little scared that a pattern is occuring with Suggs' pass rush. He dominates the subpar/inexperienced OTs like Oakland & Houston and looks like seconding coming of LT. Unfortunately, he has very quiet days against good OTs like the Colts' & Giants' (he was quiet against Joe Thomas of the Browns too until the last INT). If we are going to pay him franchise bucks to be the centerpiece of defense moving forward, I expect a little more consistency. Contrast that to 52, even in Ray's 'bad' games, he is still making solid defensive contributions, just not spectacular. I dont like these 'quiet' Suggs games against the better competition. Also, without Pryce in the future, will Suggs still be dominating? He wasn't last year with Pryce injured. Sorry, but I have watched a lot of James Harrison's game, and to me, he is a more explosive pass rusher.
I like Suggs, but I am fearful that if we sign him to the big bucks, the return on investment may not be there. The FO seriously f---ed up with signing McGahee and McNair to stupid contracts. Hopefully they will make a lot of good FA decisions after this season, b/c we could seriously help the team or seriously cripple with the right or wrong ones.

Re: Suggs
I am not the biggest Suggs backer on these boards, but I give him a pass for yesterday's game. He was not the only person who failed to show up yesterday.
I do agree with your one concern though. I am also thinking that once he gets the fat contract, he will lose some of that intensity.
Re: Suggs
I always feel like we have a great team up until we play real teams. I don't think we get fried by good teams because we are good among bad teams, but it seems like we never bring our A game whenever we play real opponents. Its really frustrating and makes me feel like we just dont have the talent that other teams have.:D ;) :D
Re: Suggs
Our offense is still finding it's way and our success is 99.9% predicated on our defense playing its usual stellar game.
If our defense has an off day, we effectively only have a 00.1% chance of winning, even against mediocre competition.
I haven't crunched those numbers or verified them through FilmStudy's football laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
Our offense is beginning to blossom little by little though, so soon we may be able to pull out a win even if the defense lays an egg.
But to the original point of this thread, Suggs is a beast and losing a stud like him, especially since we drafted him, would fly in the face of common sense.

Re: Suggs
Fact is a Fact... Suggs has had quiet games against better competition. I want him to have an excellent game against an excellent OT before I anoint him a 'PLAYMAKER'/'GAMECHANGER'....whatever term you want to use. I like Suggs but if he is going to get paid as a franchise centerpiece (at least thats his asking price) and play mediocre in big games, it will be more of the same we have seen the past 7-8yrs. If thats ok with you, fine....ok. It aint fine with me. The highest salaried players on the team should have good games every game. Right now we have an average at best RB on our team that we cannot cut next year b/c it will result in an exorbitant cap hit. That is an extremely poor decision by the FO. We cannot repeat this.
Re: SuggsIf our defense has an off day, we effectively only have a 00.1% chance of winning, even against mediocre competition.
BTW, the defense wasn't that good in Cleveland, and we won that game.
Re: SuggsFact is a Fact... Suggs has had quiet games against better competition.
Great/Elite players show up and make plays every Sunday. We'll see going forward what happens with the Suggs situation. No matter what any fan thinks about the guys play he can be counted on to suit up every week. This team has too many injury prone type players collecting checks.
Not to call any one player out but when is Dan Wilcox going to play a full season? Hopefully the ravens start to rectify this in the coming offseason.
Re: Suggs
Cribbs scored 7 of their points too. Not the Defense's fault.
Remember, the defense shut the Browns down in the second half, punctuated by a Terrell Suggs Pick 6 to seal the deal.
I think cats are just getting all emotional after a loss to the defending Super Bowl Champions where THE ENTIRE DEFENSE play sub-par with a couple of exceptions, and are attempting to use it to further their anti-Suggs agenda, but I ain't buying it...

Re: Suggs
I don't know, I agree more with the original poster's opinion here. To me, it seems like Suggs only shows up against the 2nd tier teams. Even going back a few years, it really only seems like he gets most of his stats (sacks, fumbles, etc.) late in the games that we're winning. However, in the close games and games against better teams, when we need a big play, he rarely shows up. How many times against Pitt or Indy was a about a second late on getting the sack? Not just this year, but in previous years. For the guy to do all the talking he does and say he expects "Dwight Freeney Money" he needs to show me some "Dwight Freeney Talent." He needs to be able to dominate a game from start to finish against a quality opponenet, something I can't say I've ever seen the guy do. Just my 2 cents.
Re: Suggs
I think it is a team mentality. When one sucks it, they all suck it. Suggs is a great player and will continue to improve. Is he worth throwing a huge chunk o' cash at? No. Wee need to hit the FA market for a deep threat first. The talent on defense already runs deep.I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman!

Gilson, Christopher (2010) On digital inclusion Cameron promises a 'Manifesto for a networked nation': but the UK government's broadband aims remain unambitious. British Politics and Policy at LSE (03 Aug 2010) Blog Entry.
Download (100Kb) | Preview
The internet is now a ubiquitous force in our lives, with more than four fifths of the UK population online. And in an age of fiscal austerity there is considerable pressure for government to more effectively cut costs by shifting more and more public services online. However, Chris Gilson finds that government policies aimed at getting more people online may not close the 'digital divide', and that the aims for UK broadband speeds are anyway underwhelming.

It's been mentioned multiple times on the site here and now Good Smile Company's beautiful 1/8 scale Saber and Saber Motored Cuirassier from Fate/Zero are now available for pre-order. I cannot stop marveling at how gorgeous this figure is looking with the detail in the bike from the wheels to the engine and pretty much everything else about it. Just jaw dropping for me. Of course there's also Saber herself in that hot, black suit that clings to her and the beautiful flowing hair.
The Saber and Saber Motored Cuirassier are retailing for 13,143 and will be available in May, 2012 if there are no production issues. I know you folks have voiced yourselves on this figure a few times but what's one more time? Jumping on the back with Saber or passing up on the ride?

Vodafone Ends Formula One Sponsorship With McLaren Racing TeamAmy Thomson
Vodafone Group Plc, the second-largest mobile-phone company, will end its sponsorship of the McLaren Formula One racing team at the end of the year.
Vodafone, which has reviewed its sponsorship strategy, is shifting its focus on live events and digital campaigns to increase awareness of its brand, the Newbury, U.K.-based company said in a statement today.
"Our brand is evolving, and we've concluded we will have less of a need for this kind of exposure in the future," Chief Commercial Officer Morten Lundal said. "We have been very happy with our engagement with McLaren."
Vodafone was able to brand the cars with its Verizon Wireless logo in the first U.S. Formula One race since 2007 last year. Since 2007, Vodafone and McLaren have had 34 Grand Prix victories, and last season won seven races. McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, who was world champion in 2008, has switched to the Mercedes team this year.
A Vodafone spokeswoman declined to comment beyond the release. The McLaren deal cost Vodafone as much as $75 million a year, the Financial Times reported earlier today, citing people familiar with the contract. The sponsorship deal began in 2007.
"Our focus is on continuing to drive results for all our partners throughout the 2013 season, and we look forward to making a major title partnership announcement towards the end of the year," said Martin Whitmarsh, the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team principal.

Skip to comments.Hugo Chávezs agony
Posted on 04/30/2012 5:52:30 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
President Hugo Chávezs Cuban doctors have already told him that he will most likely not be alive by Octobers elections. Its not a certainty but a statistical estimate. People his age who are affected by the aggressive cancer that afflicts him, complicated by the generalized metastasis that has spread, usually have only a few months to live. It is only a macabre average.
One of Chávezs first reactions was to phone a friendly chief of state to tell him about it. Hereafter, he will do increasingly stranger things. Like any other moribund person, he needs encouragement, compassion, loving pats on the back.
An old friend of mine, a specialist in helping terminally ill patients die, a woman who practices her melancholy and necessary profession in a major hospital, insisted that people need, more than words of comfort, someone who will hold their hand when their time comes to leave this world. This final contact, skin to skin, is mysteriously comforting. It reduces the fear caused by looking into the unfathomable abyss.
Precisely: Moribund persons experience different fears. They fear the speedy destruction of their body. They have lived being dependent on it. They have taken care of it, washed it, protected it, displayed it with pride, and suddenly deterioration, instead of being gradually perceptible, has forced itself upon them.

Shame...I wanted the people of Venezuela to take him out.
Despite the evil he has done, he still has a chance to repent and turn to Jesus Christ to avoid eternal damnation.
Huuuuugo.......oh.....Huuuuuugo......where you going?
Turn about is fair play!
I hope get's what he gave in spades!
His new nickname should be worm turd.
No. He needs to step down and stop wrecking his country. Then he needs to confess, repent, and make good his soul with God before he dies.
Why would anyone want to pat a Communist dictator on the back?
That's entirely up to Jesus Christ, and none of my concern.
Meanwhile...the damnation (temporary or not) that he so richly deserves, is soon to be visited upon him!
I won't be sending any prayers his way.
In so far as I have compassion for any person by virtue of being one of God's children, I give that to Hugo Chavez. But I will not pretend that he is a good or valuable person, and I will not pretend that his being alive is of any benefit to the people he dominates or the world which he soils.
I will pray that he finds final penitence, and that he assumes room temperature as soon as possible.
An oncologist needs to be part cheerleader; it helps optimize patient outcome. 12 days before my wife died of dancer they told us she had 6-8 months. Three days later this was revised to 4 weeks. 9 days later she died.
Such predictions are usually very optimistic.
Chavez won't live to October?
And people say there isn't a God...
Do I smell sulphur???????
I honestly don't give a rip what Hugo Chavez needs. His country needed a leader and it got a ego-swollen, murderous demagogue. Goodbye, Huey, you won't be missed.
It does not help such a prognosis when the patient tries to conceal his condition with the help of painkillers, amphetamines and steroids. If anything, Hugo has sped up the process somewhat.
Likely the big cue will be when he goes from "steroid puffy" to "scrawny" in just a week or two. From there it is just a race to "concentration camp" before he pegs.
"he will never get the amount of agony he deserves for the EVIL he has done to the innocent..."
As a 12 year Christian cancer survivor, I cannot, support your view. What ever has has done will be dealt with after his death.

Initiative rewards Airbus' Fly Your Ideas 2013 winners
Airbus, in collaboration with UNESCO, will host a series of interactive workshops and activities at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil. Airbus Innovation Week has been designed to uncover the innovation process and provide practical guidance to students and faculty on innovating within big industries.
Taking place from 10th to 14th March, Airbus' Innovation Week is an initiative designed as part of the prize awarded to the winning team of Airbus Fly Your Ideas 2013 challenge (FYI).* The biennial global competition, challenges students worldwide to develop innovative ideas for a more sustainable aviation industry.
Team Levar from USP won the 2013 Fly Your Ideas challenge, with a proposal to improve conditions for baggage handlers by developing an innovative air cushion packing solution, inspired by air hockey tables.
Airbus Innovation Week aims to help students understand how to make an idea become reality. A series of interactive workshops exploring the latest trends in aviation innovation will challenge students to apply their innovative solutions to real industry situations. The event will provide students with hands-on experience for entering the world of work.
As one of the biggest cities in the world, São Paulo is a key driving force behind one of the fastest growing major global economies. Brazil is also one of the most rapidly growing aviation industries and is set to become the fourth largest domestic air travel market by 2032. Innovation to will be central to fostering long-term sustainable development in Brazil.
Airbus Senior Vice President Innovation Yann Barbaux comments, "Ideation is just the first step in the process of making an idea come to life. At Airbus, we are constantly on the lookout for the highest potential ideas which we can transform into value-added innovative technologies and services for the benefit of our customers. We look forward to delivering hands-on experience to the students at USP to help them better understand how innovative ideas come to fruition, in particular within bigger industry situations, for their future careers."
José Roberto Castilho Piqueira, Director of Polytechnic School, at USP comments, "At USP we are delighted to be hosting the first-ever Airbus Innovation Week, which will expose our students to the leading innovation thinkers within the aviation industry. Our students' success in Fly Your Ideas 2013 underlines our dedication to doing all we can to equip our students with competencies that will allow them to succeed in the future."
