A swag of debenture prospectuses seeking to raise more than $1 billion have been blocked by the companies watchdog over the past six months after problems were identified in the offer documents.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission yesterday said that since July 1 it had taken action over 14 debenture offers - essentially debt instruments - and in five cases told would-be capital raisers to scrap their offer documents and start again.
In 11 cases, an interim stop order was issued, forcing the company to revise some of the information in the prospectus to meet legal requirements and ensure that investors were properly informed.
Final stop orders were later issued against some of those companies and in six instances the interim stop order was later withdrawn. In one case, a company was forced to have the prospectus in the marketplace for longer than it had expected after ASIC raised concerns.
Some of the Corporations Act breaches identified in the documents included a failure to include a debenture trust deed or appoint a trustee.
Some of the documents failed to properly disclose details on possible and actual bad and doubtful debts, and some did not properly explain lending policies and borrowing limitations. In one case the company did not provide up-to-date financial information on performance and profitability and others did not adequately explain how the money raised would be used.
ASIC said that some companies had referred to unsecured notes as debentures - which could encourage investors to believe the instruments are more secure than they in fact were.

I'm a little confused here.
Are you saying that they should get a Glock?
I haven't been on here for awhile, just wanted to post something up.
To all you first time gun buyers who keep blowing up these forums:
1) Get a Glock
2) Oh you don't like Glock, still get one
3) You won't get a Glock... Get a Sig / HK
4) You can't afford the Sig or the HK, get a Smith
5) You don't want a Smith either? Dang your picky
6) Okay you can get the Springfield XDms ( I think they are ugly )
7) Hey did you hear about Glock?
I'm a little confused here.
Are you saying that they should get a Glock?
Glocks are overrated...... They are a decent weapon but they are not the "holy grail" of weapons...
Truthfully there is no weapon that is the "holy grail"...........
When you clean your "Holy Grail" Glock, do you have to use holy water?
Must any special prayers be said?
Supplementary Question (for 10 points): Does Jake have enough experience with pistols, to so unreservedly recommend Glock?
Another brainwashed Glock owner, lol.
Sounds like ObamaCare. Just get what we say. You want to put some thought into this decision? Whoops, nope. Your needs and preferences might be different from what I think they ought to be? Pshaw. What about the reality that there are myriad differences, both great and subtle, between and among the substantial number of firearms available on the market? Nuts! Get what we say!
the point the OP is trying to make is funny though.
folks come here and ask "what should i get?" and folks give then a myriad of ideas and suggestions only to be shot down with "oh i heard those suck" or "those are awfully expensive".
so why do they ask if they already have these preconceived notions? really? and why do we take the time to suggest things just to be shot down? i vicious circle i say!
i own Sigs, Steyrs, Smiths, Glocks and CZs. what do i grab on the way out the door? generally a Glock, sometimes a Smith. maybe i drank the Glock koolaid but i don't think so. they are not the end all and neither is the 1911. it is my choice and others have theirs.
the AKM is the end all tho! nuthin better!
So.......let's all just recommend a Hi-Point to all that ask about a first gun.
They're cheap and they suck. Nothing to debate about that.
• Small-boat anchor
• Blunt-instrument defense against sharks
In truth, I've never owned one. I've never even fired one.
But lots of moderately-experienced people have said that they're accurate enough, are heavy enough to reduce felt recoil, and last long enough, to be pretty good "learners' guns."
Can anybody say the same for Glocks?
^ They make excellent wheel chocks for RV's or trailers as well.
On a serious note... no one in my area even carries Hi-Points.
i saw a Hi-Point at a gun show once but that's the closest i've ever come.
i didn't touch it though 'cause i didn't want any cooties!
Like Gaston's brainchild is the epitome firearms beauty?Okay you can get the Springfield XDms (I think they are ugly)
I've shot some Glocks and I can't see why people like them so much. My chief is a "Glock Man" if you will and he keeps pressuring me and saying I should get one. I don't like the recoil and I'm not a fan of the trigger safety. As this is all personal opinion, I'm just stating that I don't know why one would want a gun with that much recoil. I'd much rather prefer a heavier, sturdier gun. Not saying Glocks aren't "sturdy" because I know they can handle a large amount of physical damage, simply stating that I'd prefer something with a bit more...structure? I suppose that'd be the word I'm looking for.

Michigan Boxing Beat!
By Bob Ryder
As the weather is heating up in the Great Lakes state so is the boxing game. Within a six week time frame, fans will be treated to no less than five pro shows. Two of the cards will take place in the Detroit area (June 13 and July 17), two have landed in Grand Rapids (June 26 and July 11) and Bay City will host an event on July 25.
Action kicks off first on June 13 at the Royal Oak Music Theatre. The states' most active and currently hardest working promoter, Carlos Llinas of CLIP, teams up with Ron Remus Productions to present their 6th straight card at this suburban Detroit venue. Detroiter Darryl Cunningham faces Jeffrey Osborne in the main event. Local favorite Alexis Hloros is matched against Jason Medina in the semi main. Former amateur star Joel Flores is on the card and looks to notch another impressive win, his first two pro fights having lasted just slightly over a minute combined. Some tickets are still available through the Royal Oak Music Theatre (248-399-2980). The last several shows here have been sold out and based on early ticket sales this one looks like it will be also.
Things shift to the west side of the state on June 26. Promoter Earl Thompson (City Slick Entertainment) will showcase Purnell Gates and Lanardo Tyner in separate main event 12 rounders for vacant interim WBO NABO titles at the Woodland Sports Plex in Grand Rapids. Gates is 16-1 and Tyner 20-2 as both look to move up against opponents TBD. Tickets can be purchased by calling 616-481-7878.
Grand Rapids will also see the continued comeback of Troy Rowland on July 11 as he will be featured in the main event outdoors at the Fifth Third Ballpark. Carlos Llinas International Productions (CLIP) along with Denny Baxter (Blue Cap Promotions) will be presenting what has become their annual summer show at the home of the West Michigan Whitecaps minor league baseball team. Local Grand Rapids based fighters Joel Flores, Alex Otero, Jackie Beard and Derron Hernandez are all slated to see action.
On July 17, Carlos Llinas International Productions with partner Ron Remus Productions, return to the Majestic Theatre in downtown Detroit for another card featuring some of the city's favorite fistic performers. Heavyweight Rich Power looks to remain undefeated in the scheduled co-main event. Brian Mihtar, who recently had a scheduled Las Vegas fight against Ishe Smith fall through due to medical issues, looks to rebound in the other co main feature. Joel Flores continues his busy schedule that night as he appears along with Willie Fortune, Roscoe Hill and Demetrius Robinson all against opponents yet to be named.
It's always a scenic view both in and out of the ring at the annual Bay City outdoor show. Held in the Hooter's Restaurant parking lot on the banks of the Saginaw River, promoters Carlos Llinas and Art Dore (Adoreable Promotions) have this years' show ready for July 25. Scheduled to headline is Bay City's undefeated heavyweight Brandon Arsenault. Joel Flores is back at again this night along with Patrick Byrd, Mike Walthier and Jamie Castellano.
A great start to the summer for boxing in Michigan that will keep both fans and fighters supplied with plenty of activity.

Find out why so many different peoples over the centuries decided to call Arraiolos their home. Book your holiday in Pousada Convento de Arraiolos, an ancient convent of the St. John the Evangelist religious order, which was devoted to assisting the poor and the sick of Arraiolos. The foundation stone was laid in August 14th, 1527 - the eve of the holiday consecrated to Nossa Senhora da Assunção, a great time to come here for some rest.
The entrance is long and winding, anticipating the level of tranquillity you will find: the Pousada, whose low building lays hidden in a valley surrounded by apparently endless agricultural fields, is punctuated by trees that will provide shade to your strolls, and by old slabs that echo the sound of your footsteps - often the only sound you will hear.
Go on a pilgrimage to the Fountain of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, as the folk of yore did on August 15th, and imagine the friars throwing traditional sweet rings to pilgrims to celebrate the event. Also be sure to visit the Lovers Fountain (Fonte dos Namorados) and ask about the legend of the bride who was so old that she had to cover her face with the wedding veil so that no one would see her wrinkles.
If your curiosity for this quirky town is piqued, be sure to explore the castle, founded by King Dinis in 1310 and the Igreja do Salvador. Maybe you'll find the lonely shepherds, with their sheep flocks and dogs, which are as much a part of the landscape as the successively reinforced walls.
In a land widely known for its tapestries, prepare to marvel at the numerous Arraiolos carpets you will find on the floor and walls of this historical Pousada, both the ones that are being used and the ones hanging for display.
Most of the rooms are fully modernised former cells, with the original dimensions but with much more comfortable beds. Lose yourself in the numerous lounge rooms and unusual nooks that will give you a feeling of absolute freedom, even though you're within the walls.
Once you have parked, it is likely that someone will drop by to give you a warm welcome and help you with the bags. The reception desk is next to the old Sala do Capítulo (Chapter Room), where the brothers used to receive their daily orders for the maintenance of life in the convent.
The great hall, long and comfortable, the fireplace nook, one of the typical Alentejo ceramic floor burners that will warm your soul and feet in the winter, the terrace in summer, perfect to read under the shadows of the trees and escape the Alentejo heat, the cloisters and stairways that will refresh and shelter you both from the hot sun and the insidious cold weather. This is your refuge for a memorable vacation.
Pestana's tip: The Pousada is famous for its tranquility throughout the year, but in the summer families and children always add some liveliness and agitation to the site.

This should not be news to anyone who is health and nutrition conscious - white bread, as opposed to whole wheat and whole grain breads with all their fiber goodness, is not good for you.
Have you ever wondered why refined carbohydrates like doughnuts, pizza crusts, pastas, sodas, sugary breakfast cereals and boxed fruit drinks (with 10% fruit juice) are not good for you?
It all comes down to the fact that refined carbohydrates and simple sugars don't take long at all to absorb into your blood stream, causing rapid explosions in your blood sugar levels.
This leads to a spike, followed by a rapid drop in blood sugar, especially in women, according to new research, which is why high carb consumption in women is linked to increased levels of heart disease. Women seem to process carbohydrates differently than men do. (Science has finally caught up to what women have always known!) This may partly explain why it is generally harder for women to lose weight than it is for men. Everyone knows of some man who has only cut out bread from his daily diet and loses 10 pounds, while a woman over the same time period cuts down on everything and only loses 4 pounds.
When you are hungry and eat refined carbohydrates, you may realize that an hour later you are ravenous again. This is because when your blood sugar levels peak and drop instead of staying steady at all times, your body reacts by turning on the appetite switch.
Therefore, eating a diet that maintains a steady, blood sugar level is the best natural appetite suppressant and key to weight loss.
Your mood can also be profoundly altered by the food that you eat. Food can either be your best friend or worst enemy. When serotonin and cortisol levels are affected, a domino effect is initiated and every internal organ is upset if your blood sugar is never within healthy limits.
Continuous spikes and dips in your blood sugar level also can play havoc with your heart health. Those that experience a lot of spikes in their blood sugar are at particularly high risk for heart disease and a heart attack as the natural rhythms of the heart is affected. The fact that someone has diabetes increases their risk for heart disease.
The only way to know if the food you're buying contains sugar is to know its many aliases or other forms. Here are the common ones: brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrin, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrate, high-fructose corn syrup, galactose, glucose, honey, hydrogenated starch, invert sugar maltose, lactose, mannitol, maple syrup, molasses, polyols, raw sugar, sorghum, sucrose, sorbitol, turbinado sugar, and xylitol.

Give future a hand!
I greatly appreciate the charitable work of my predecessors, especially what they have been doing to improve the life of those in need, to promote culture and traditions. I am honoured to be able to represent these values at the side of my husband.
During the course of my days I see countless heart-warming stories, exemplary lives and everyday heroic deeds around me. Many benevolent people and organizations are setting an example by working to help the most needy, those living in large families and those living with disabilities. I would like to be a voice for these amazing people and communities, to divert more and more attention from me towards them.
I consider it extremely important for our common future to assist and encourage young talent. I would like to call the attention of the public and of families to the importance of this.
According to professionals, we miss out on an opportunity with nine out of every ten highly talented child in Hungary. There might be many reasons for this, but as a mother I do think that kind words, attention and encouragement can do a lot to change this.
I am happy if you join me in encouraging talented children and youth in families, schools and in the community at large, and if you decide to stand together with me by a pro-talent culture that appreciates achievements that are comparable to one's abilities.

Washington, Rochambeau, & the Potomac Path
The French Connection
Yet, in February 1778, the French signed the Treaty of Alliance with the American delegation in Paris. Neither side believed it would be worthwhile to send French troops across the Atlantic Ocean, but by 1780, it became necessary. General Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, the comte de Rochambeau, arrived in Newport, Rhode Island, with over 5,000 men in July 1780.
Rochambeau's army remained idle for over a year. In that time, Native Americans from the Oneida and Tuscarora tribes met him at Newport, remembering their loyalty to the French from the Seven Years' War (1754-1763). In September, Rochambeau met with General Washington. They hoped to launch an attack on General Henry Clinton's army in New York, but it was too late in the year. The French spent the winter of 1780-81 in Newport.
The March to Yorktown
Generals Washington and Rochambeau hoped to strike New York during the summer of 1781. On July 6, Rochambeau's French army and Washington's Continental Army, totaling 9,300, met in Westchester County, New York. Noticing that General Charles Cornwallis was virtually unopposed in the South, they decided to march to Virginia.
In the meantime, Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, the Marquis de Lafayette, positioned his command of the Continental army across the James River from Conrwallis, who held Richmond. Conwallis led his army toward Yorktown, digging fortifications in early August. If the Continental Army and the French navy reached the coastal town in time, they would prevent Cornwallis from leaving.
The army followed the King's Highway, which followed much of Route 1. It stretched from Boston to Charleston, South Carolina. The cavalry and supply trains camped near Dumfries on their way to Yorktown. On September 25, most of the French and Continentals camped at Williamsburg. After over a two week siege, Cornwallis surrendered to Washington on October 18. Though a peace treaty would not be signed for two more years, the war was over. By December, King George III and Parliament recognized the Thirteen Colonies "to be free Sovereign and independent States." The French army sailed from Newport to the Caribbean that same Christmas Day.
On the march North, Rochambeau's forces used the King's Highway and the Potomac Path. Part of the Potomac Path is preserved in the Crossing Trail at Prince William Forest Park (shown right). The Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route, currently under development by the National Park Service as a National Historic Trail, will follow the path the two armies followed to and from Yorktown.

Fiona Goodchild
Late in 2003 the National Science Board released a new report, Realizing America's Potential, calling for national attention to the future of the country's science and engineering workforce. The report advocates national workforce policies to address "the potential peril to U.S. strength in science and engineering" and argues that the nation's scientific enterprise is threatened by declining participation by native-born students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. There are not going to be enough skilled practitioners, research scientists and educators, warns the NSB, to fill the growing number of occupations in science and engineering.
The report is timely, since changes in immigration law are already affecting the supply of qualified personnel who can work in the United States. Historically the U.S. has benefited from the contributions of scientists, engineers and graduate students from other countries. This solution to national needs looks less and less promising as other countries develop their research and development enterprises. The NSB includes science teachers in the workforce, highlighting the need to recruit more scientifically and mathematically trained graduates into education.
As I read through the report's introduction, I experienced twinges of déjà vu. This is where I came in. I started working in science education in the U.S. in 1990, the year that Richard Atkinson chose to talk about the Supply and Demand for Scientists and Engineers in his presidential address to the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in New Orleans. I saw those ubiquitous charts depicting the pipeline of potential science and engineering students that started at 4 million students and dwindled to 9,700 (0.24 percent) who were expected to achieve a Ph.D. in science or engineering. That rate of completion was judged to result in a serious shortfall in workforce numbers. The National Science Foundation was setting up a Division of Education and Human Resources and launching a new effort to integrate research science and education.
I was part of that initiative. I had taken a position as education coordinator at one of the NSF Science and Technology Centers that was in the vanguard of what is often described as "outreach." As I understood it, one of our important goals was to improve opportunities for learning and teaching science, supported by collaboration between research scientists—a term I use in the broader sense, to include engineers—and educators. As a former teacher who had just completed graduate research in cognitive psychology, I was intrigued by the challenge to promote more science education. I value the analytical and quantitative thinking that is a major facet of coursework in science, engineering and mathematics. Students usually get the chance to acquire this knowledge only inside a formal degree structure. Why do so many miss this opportunity? Was it possible to make the subject areas more attractive to a broader range of students? Could we make this national problem a scientific community problem?
I had spent over 10 years at a research university where I talked daily with students who wanted to improve their performance in math and science courses. Many struggled with math and then gave up on science or engineering. Others described introductory courses as a series of hoops and hurdles that only one in three students was expected to survive. At home I had listened to our teenage daughters express serious doubts about whether it was worth making the extra effort that science courses were famous (or notorious) for. I believed that I was fairly well versed about why many students do not choose science careers.
I began to work with research scientists who adopted new roles in a range of partnerships with science teachers and K–12 schools. One important goal was to connect with teachers so that they could develop enough familiarity and understanding to become "representatives of science in their classrooms," a theme highlighted in the emerging national standards for science teachers. Faculty also opened their lab groups to high school and community college interns. The design of the internship program highlighted communication, teamwork and mentoring to introduce younger students to some of the more intriguing ideas in current science and to encourage them to consider careers in science, engineering or mathematics. Once they got a closer look at how scientists work, we thought, they might form more realistic impressions that would contradict traditional images of science as isolated and antisocial. The policies of funding agencies such as NSF encourage the involvement of scientists in such ventures. NSF's requirement that investigators make a broader impact has created new interest in the way that scientists can influence the next generation.
As we recruited volunteer undergraduates, we found that they had a strong interest in projects that appeared to enhance their professional skills and broaden their understanding of how they could apply their science and math training. Their new role in creating or demonstrating teaching resources seemed to help them understand the relevance of their academic work and to make connections with the community. It became clear that many undergrads in science and engineering courses appreciate the chance to study a complementary topic, such as business or art or education, and to think more about how their scientific training could he applied in other fields. It wasn't just K–12 science that needed attention.
When we tracked the progress of former interns, we ran into questions about the nature of the next step after high school or community college—undergraduate science and engineering. We heard reports of competitive and intimidating introductory courses, and of textbook-oriented teaching that was disconnected from the problems that they had worked on in research labs. High school teachers were disappointed to find that their most promising science students reported that they were switching out of undergraduate science. Had we created unrealistic expectations? A more plausible explanation seemed to be that these young students had encountered the traditional mining-and-sorting approach that underpins many courses that select for only the "best and the brightest" and therefore require that students be graded on a curve. Our projects were based on the assumption that it would be useful for all students to understand the value of scientific thinking. Their college courses made it clear that only certain students would be selected as majors or prospective graduate students.
The new NSB report confirms the bottleneck at the undergraduate-degree level. Between 1985 and 2000 the number of baccalaureate degrees in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields, excluding biology, fell by 18.6 percent. Once young students arrive in community college and undergraduate courses, serious attrition occurs. As this report documents, fewer than half of those students intending to major in science and engineering fields complete that degree within five years. Members of underrepresented minorities drop out at a higher rate than other groups. The trend for participation by domestic students is downward. The U.S. has slipped from third to thirteenth place in terms of undergraduate completion of STEM degrees since 1975.
Does the report reveal what the disincentives and obstacles may be? The section on college programs argues for the necessary equipment and resources to teach laboratory courses and calls for "modification of the educational environment, particularly better teaching and advising" to improve the nature of introductory courses and the focus on the individual student. However, it does not explore what modifications are required and what specific problems may be causing students to lose interest in studying science.
Such questions, which require analysis of current teaching practices, are of vital importance to the future of the scientific workforce of the 21st century. Many features of undergraduate programs now seem disconnected from the interests and motivation of the students who are graduating from high school. Many of these students are looking for relevance and the chance to explore how their major might prepare them for the workforce. Those from nontraditional backgrounds need more flexibility in sequencing and options, and more chances to connect with practicing scientists. They need more realism about the economic factors inherent in pursuing a career in science and engineering. Many female students are looking to identify careers that integrate a social contribution—beyond the stereotypical role of teacher. It seems a matter of urgency to resolve some of the basic tension between the rigor that science courses demand and the attention to instruction and mentoring that students need and appreciate.
This challenge does not seem impossible to address. Undergraduate science is the part of science education that can be controlled by academic scientists. Some of them have already made recommendations on new pedagogy and instructional strategies. What seems even more pertinent is the need to focus on how to design comprehensive academic courses, alongside access to social networks within individual departments and career contacts that help students to envisage their future prospects. For example, the American Institute of Physics recently published a report on Strategic Programs for Undergraduate Physics that stresses the importance of collaboration between academic faculty to improve student retention in undergraduate physics programs.
Reading the NSB report from a grass-roots perspective, I would have liked to see much more focus on the incentives and rewards that are needed to nurture those students who do register in undergraduate science and engineering courses. These are the human resources that are most likely to guarantee scientific excellence.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Is Without Child
Jennifer Love Hewitt has had more controversy going on in her Plain Jane career in the past few weeks than back when Bailey put her through the windshield and the guy with the hook was chasing her ass around the fishing boat. Hot off the heels of her taking to MySpace to last out at people baggin' on her weight, pregnancy rumors have sprung up around the newly married lass. Jennifer married Scottish actor Ross McCall and honey-mooned in Hawaii where paps snapped some unflattering photos of her hindquarters. Now I am the last person to speculate that a bad camera angle means she's got a puppy in the pound. And a rep from Jennifer's show "The Ghost Whisperer" is denying it. "Not true," the rep says. "The stories are 100% false." Well, that's that. This is like when you know to never ask a woman if she's pregnant or not. The results can be devastating for her. And for you when she hits you upside the head with her bag if she's not.

Co-founder (along with Pearson Sound and Pangaea) of influential U.K. label Hessle Audio Ben UFO is an international staple with impeccably programmed DJ sets. Hessle Audio is most known for introducing the world to James Blake, Blawan, and Cosmin TRG. But in recent years they've consistently released music that is simultaneously puzzling yet energizing, like Objekt and Bandshell.
Ben is the only one of the three founders who is exclusively a DJ. Since 2007, he's been the poster child for the label's no-boundaries approach to music. You're guaranteed that any party he plays will come with rugged beats, including but not restricted to, techno, house, and garage as well as darker, more experimental strains of electronic music. The ease at which he glides between genres and the status that his label holds in the music community led to his Fabriclive 67 mix CD this past January (a series many DJs and producers hope to eventually contribute to). Recently, he's taken to crossing the pond for almost regular gigs in the states.
As I approached the museum, I could hear the muffled thud of kick drums so gritty they could only be from Ben's set. PS1 was surprisingly calm when I arrived, a change from the usual chaos of weekends past; maybe it was the cloudiness of the day (though rain was not in the forecast). It didn't take long for him to hit his stride and have the dance floor in his palm. He's much too shy to admit it, but he probably could have taken his set even further left and the crowd would follow. With only an hour or so to flex his musical chops, Ben dipped quickly into some hard-hitting music.
After a couple opening bits he picked things up with new Beau Wanzer (of Mutant Beat Dance), New York's Anthony Naples, and a myriad of tracks from Kowton (who's going through a bit of a purple phase). The highlight was unquestionably Kowton's edit of Jeremih's "Fuck You All The Time"; the original was something of an oddball hit last year. The crowd visibly swayed as the song opened up with its iconic rhodes chords, with the rest sounding as if it were caked in tape saturation and classic DMZ sub bass.
One of the signs of a skilled DJ is knowing the precise moment to challenge a crowd and play music that may not typically work; Ben weaved between floor pleasers like Pepe Bradock's latest record on LA's Acid Test imprint, and lesser-known cuts from Frak. There were no frills, no gimmicks, just impeccable mixing and complete control. Those in attendance that day were given the Hessle Audio treatment: some forward-thinking dance music—emphasis on dance.

Then Syrians come to his rescue, pulling him to safety. This video was filmed on May 15 in Khan Sheikhoun, a town in the northwestern province of Idlib. The UN observers were attending a funeral for a man who had been killed the previous day, when bullets suddenly started flying. According to local activists, the mourners were attacked by the Syrian army. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights – an opposition group – says 20 people were killed. Following the attack, the UN envoys spent the night in the company of rebels from the Free Syrian Army, before rejoining a UN convoy just outside the town. The UN observers have been travelling throughout Syria since April 15 on a three-month-mission. They are to report on the situation on the ground as part of the Annan plan to end the conflict in Syria. Since the beginning of the revolt in March 2011, at least 9,000 people have been killed, according to the United Nations. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates that over 11,000 have been killed, most of them civilians. Français عربي

If (x-2) and (x-1) are factors of polynomial `x^3+px^2+qx+1` what is the sum of p and q.
2 Answers | Add Yours
Please note the error: The factors are `(x-2) (x-1)`
`therefore x=2 or x=1`
As we have : `x^3 + px^2 + qx+1` we can create equations using substitution:
`therefore f(1) = (1)^3 + p(1)^2 +q(1) +1`
`therefore = 1+p + q +1`
As `(x-1)` is a factor it renders it equal to zero:
`therefore 0=` `1+p+q+1`
`therefore p+q = 0-1-1`
`therefore p+q=-2`
Ans : the sum of p and q is -2
You can confirm your answer if required by finding actual values for p and q using both equations as follows :
Using factor `(x-2) ` the sum of p+q will be :
`f(2) = 0 = x^3+px^2+qx+1`
`therefore 0=(2)^3+p(2)^2+q(2)+1`
`therefore 0= 8+4p+2q+1`
`therefore 0= 9 +4p+2q`
Now solve simultaneously using both factors `(x-1)(x-2)` :
`0=9+4p +2q` and
`p+q=-2` `therefore p +q+2=0`
Multiply this equation by 2 so that we can eliminate q (there are various ways to solve) when we combine the equations:
As they both equal zero make them equal to each other:
`therefore 9+4p+2q=2p+2q+4`
`therefore 9+4p+2q-2p-2q-4=0`
`therefore 5+2p=0` (Note that q cancelled out)
`therefore 2p= -5`
`therefore p = -5/2`
Now solve for q using a previous equation and substituting for p:
`therefore -5/2+q=-2`
`therefore q= -2+5/2`
`therefore q=1/2` ``
`therefore p+q=-5/2+1/2`
`therefore p+q=-2`

I've been struggling with shin splints since April and I'm 17. I'm 6ft 4 and I've been told by my physio (amongst issues with my biomechanics) that a lot of it could be caused by simply growing. I have tight calves and weak tibialis muscles due to my biomechanics but my Physio says they're all linked. I also have Osgood-Schlatters in my knees. I've got some orthotics on the way and I'm really hoping they're going to give me the relief I desperately need from all this. I have been very very careful with the injury but my body seems to do the opposite of what it should do. After 6 weeks of rest- my pain went away after 4 weeks and came back last week! Stretching the calves seems to aggravate the shin pain but I've been told I need to stretch to sort out the problem. I also need to strengthen the weak calves and tibialis but this also brings a bit of pain back.
It's not the typical shin splints where I get pain during the activity- I get pain after, earlier on it would linger and ease after a few days. When I was still able to cycle hard but not run earlier in the Summer, I would have no pain but was resting from running to let it settle down. Then the pain came on in the late Summer and lingered for 3 weeks despite stopping all cycling and running. Even when the physio gave me the all-clear to start gently running again on grass, I was able to for 2 weeks and then the pain returned. This time it took less time to ease off.
The only thing I have done in this rest period is stretching the calfs and a few calf raises (as advised), some hip strengthening and hamstring stretching. Is it possible that my injury is simply growth? Has anybody else on here had any issues training whilst young due to similar things? I feel like I'm being let down by my own body and I can't understand what the hell is going on and I don't think anybody else knows either!
I've said this before, but Stephen Gerrard used to be out injured all the time as a young player - one thing after another... and the experts said at the time that it was down to his continued growth (late growth as well, if I remember right). I'd say they've been proved right. For an 'all action' player, I'd say he's not been particularly injury prone in adulthood.
Thanks guys- my distress is more revolved around the fact that I don't know what's wrong with me and the fact my body can't even handle swimming! My muscles are wasting, my fitness is melting away and some plans next year are now in jeapordy. I feel like I have no hope. I've always been tall but it is possible that I'm still growing?! I'm 18 in 6 months. I'm happy at my height now and would rather just stop so I can run!
It could still be growing :-S But have you had a recent growth spurt?? Are you streching both tibalis posterior and anterior? Either of these in spasm can give you the symptoms. 'Shin splints' is normally considered an overuse, 'impact injury' so cycling and swimming shouldn't aggrevate it. I'd be worried if muscle strentghening exercises you're doing are bringing the pain back. DOMS is ok - recurring same symtoms (again & again) is not. Tells me you should be trying some other strengthening exercises.
I have had a recent growth spurt I think yes. My gait seems to be changing all the time just walking around. I'm not stretching them- how do I do this? I was doing a thing against a wall where I did foot-raises which stretched the muscles on the front of my shin (the anterior?) but I stopped those a couple of months ago. Swimming hasn't aggravated it- but it hurt my hamstring. Cycling does however I was doing the strengthening exercises and stretching at the same time so it could have been them?
Its possible that some muscles in your calf (Ant & Pos Tibialis in particular) are over-working and fatigued, because of changes in length and gait. Calf raises could be just irratating them more. It could have been just the exercises that aggravate the injury, not the cycling.
Both muscle help control pronation of the foot, especially Tib Posterior. You need to find out what your foot looks like when it pronates and supinates (loads & takes off), its possible joints in your foot are locked up, which maybe overworking the muscles (and creating extra stress on the shin bone). Lack of mobility in the hips can compound this.
Not sure if youve done these already...
Sitting on your heels is one way of streching Tib Anterior (if you're not very flexible in your ankles!).
Tib. Posterior can be streched by doing a bent knee calf stretch on the edge of a step. The outer edge of your foot (in trainers) needs to be on the step edge, bring your knee over your little toe (or as near as you can). Then drop the inside arch of your foot over the step, while keeping your knee pointing towards your little toe. You should feel a deep calf stretch.
Try to keep as relaxed as you can and make gravity do the work - thats the best way to stretch
Word of caution - Lack of progress means its possible it may not be muscular at all, but bone stress on the tibia - micro-trauma on the shins. A bone scan would be needed to confirm that. Treatment is more rest i'm afraid... (and mobilisation of ankle and foot...)
Hope that helps.
I've been told that they are likely to be weak/fatigued by my physio. I've got orthotics on the way- will they help me at all? I was told to stretch my piriformis which I have been doing everyday as well as a hip strengthening exercise called 'clams' or something like that. Is it safe to keep doing these? My gait only seemed to change when I started doing them again recently. I've heard of the heel sitting stretch before so I'll give it a go- for how long and how often?
My physio did mention bone stress. Although it's not sore to squeeze the tibia anymore and it doesn't feel tender. What could be causing the bone stress? I've rested from any cycling/running now for 6 weeks- how much more will I need to eradicate it completely if it's a prolonged case? Is pool running ok?
Orthotics could help relieve stress by supporting your arches, but i would only use them temporaily. How long is gauged by how long you have the symptoms.
I don't prescribe clams anymore. Its not a functional exercise for runners! If you're a syncronised swimmer there maybe a case for doing them; but how often do you do that movement when running!!
Instead, I would do one leg squats, multidirectional lunges (start small, then get bigger) and low level plyometrics - bunny jumps/hops & skipping etc. But only if no pain when doing it. Same goes for pool running - great functional exercise with reduced impact - but only do it without pain.
There is no scientific proof as to the optimum time to do a stretch, only assumptions and interpretations. Depending on the state of a muscle at anyone time it may need different times to release. I generally say 45 - 60 secs, RELAX into the stretch to a degree that is not painful, but still pulling. Do it little and often (4x a day), especially after exercise.
Bone stress is normally caused by too much repeated impact over a certain amount time. I'd guess running with tight muscles & bad running technique in your case.
If the bone doesn't feel tender anymore you could go back to training - but you must ease yourself and your shins back into it. Cycle/run short distances to start with and see if you get a reaction the day after. The musculoskeletal system needs exercise and movement to repair and get stronger - but it needs it progressively, too much too soon will overload it, and you will be back to square one.
Be thankful you are still in your teens! If you were in your 40's you'd probably have to double the recovery time!
Will orthotics not help to stop my tibialis muscles being overworked and weakened because that's what my physio told me?
I do find clams work my hip muscles a lot though- do the other exercises you suggest have the same effect?
Can stretching or calf raises affect bone stress at all? I did some toe raises against a wall this morning and have had a few stabs of pain in the upper area of the shin where the muscle is during the day.
The bone does feel a bit tender occasionally and there is a little bony lump/hole in the centre of my shin about 3 inches up from the ankle but it's not tender to touch. It is however improving in general and I get pain less often- it seems proportional to whether I have stretched or strengthened or not. I will wait to see a Physio to assess me before trying to cycle gently again.
Thanks again for your advice, very very helpful!!
Yes, orthotics will help stop your tibialis getting overworked. But I treat orthotics like crutches, great to take pressure off injured tissue. And if you were in your 60's i'd prob say keep them in, but as a teenager you should gradually wean yourself off them.
Clams will definetly work the hip muscles, just not in a way that is really functional to running. I'd also argue that they can overwork the piriformis (something you may not want to do). I'd prescribe them to someone virtually bedridden, who needs strengthening to walk again, not to a 'relatively' heathy runner.
Yes, those exercises work ALL hip muscles, especially the multi-directional lunges!
I would wait til physio can assess shin as well.
No problem, hope it gets better soon.

As the unofficial Leisure Town Lookout, I feel that it is my duty to inform residents of our senior community about the current turmoil and upheaval in the homeowners office.
The previous office staff have resigned (deposed, primarily, because of what I believe are some underhanded and untrue allegations, which were not privy to the entire membership). They have been replaced by members of the board of directors on a temporary basis. A search is now on for a single replacement to do the heavy lifting of the office.
What is disturbing is that during the turmoil, some snake-in-the-grass removed some very sensitive financial documents from the office, which could be damaging to many residents of Leisure Town.
I realize that this is the Year of the Snake, according to the Chinese zodiac, but does it have to be the Leisure Town style?

Ada Evening News, The (Newspaper) - July 10, 1962, Ada, Oklahoma KHRUSHCHEV OFFERS NEW BERLIN PROPOSAL Soviet Suggests Smaller Countries Occupy West Zone MOSCOW (AP) Premier Khrushchev declared today that the war threat over Berlin has become "ever more .ominous" and proposed that Western troops there be replaced with a garrison of Norwegian-Danish or Belgian- Dutch troops plus Czech and Polish forces. The proposal was made after he had claimed much more powerful weapons than those of the United States, said the Soviet Union has developed an anti-missile mis- sile and declared Western "aggressors" would perish in a nuclear war. Khrushchev denounced the current series of Ameri- can nuclear tests as.a "challenge to mankind" and said further improvement of weapons by the Communist countries was now an "unavoidable necessity." He spoke on the second day of a World Peace Con- gress in the Kremlin. About delegates from 118 United States Brushes Off Latest Idea WASHINGTON Unit- ed States disclosed today that it has already rejected the latest public proposal by Soviet Premier Khrushchev for getting United States, British and French troops out of West Berlin. The State Department also blasted as "hypocrisy" Khrush- chev's criticism of American high- altitude nuclear explosions over the Pacific Ocean. A statement sharply reminded the world that the Russians broke the test ban and fired several high-altitude shots last fall. Khrushchev's Berlin proposal and his criticism of U.S. nuclear testing were covered in a speech made at a Peace Congress meeting in Moscow today. He said that troops, of the Big Three Western powers in Berlin should be replaced by either Nor- wegian and Danish or Belgian and Dutch forces plus forces of Czech- oslovakia and Poland. The first four nations mentioned are U.S. North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion allies while the, Czechs and Poles belong to the Soviet bloc. .Khrushchev said the new garri- son would be under the U.K 'flag. (Continutd on Page Two) countries are attending. It was the first time the Rus- sians have proposed posting forc- es of the smaller European Com- munist and Western powers in West Berlin in place of the Amer- ican, British and French garri- sons. The new plan obviously was an effort to get the big powers out of the way in Berlin and leave the Communists a freer hand. Proposing the substitution 'of troops, Khrushchev said: "If they don't agree to Norwegians and Danes, then let it be Belgians and Dutch." Khrushchev said "the hotbed of war danger in the heart of Europe is becoming ever more ominous" in Berlin. West Germany and its armed forces, he charged, "are already becoming the backbone of the ag- gressive forces of NATO." Mis statement on U.S. tests in the Pacific and the high-altitude hydrogen explosion Monday, was unexpectedly mild. Two speakers at the congress, a Chicago pro- fessor and a British Churchman, had charged the Soviet Union with part of the responsibility for re- sumption of tests by breaking a three-year moratorium. Khrusuchev said the major se- ries of tests of the United States were "a challenge to mankind." .High-altitude tests, he said, were "disregarding the fact that these experiments may have very dangerous consequences for the conditions of man's life."

City Council Gives Green Light To Traffic Survey By GEORGE GURLEY A comprehensive traffic survey and a community antenna system 'or television were the principal terns under discussion at Monday night's City .Council meeting. And, it now appears as if the city will have both of them. Council members voted, to co- iperate in a new and comprehen- sive traffic study for Ada which will be handled by personnel of Jie State Highway Department. They also gave approval, in prin- ciple, to'an-ordinance granting, a ranchise.for.'the installation and iperation of a community TV an- enna system. The traffic survey -however, had an easier time of it than the "cable system." Robert Dawson and Vern Brad- ley, representing the State High-' way Department, appeared to dis- cuss the traffic survey. Some months ago, the city, en- tered into a contract with Bill McCurdy, traffic consultant, for such a survey.'This study would have cost A contract was executed with contin- gent upon his securing federal funds for the survey. Under this plan, the city would have paid 30 per. cent of the cost of the survey by the federal government. It. now appears that McCurdy does not have the facilities at his disposal to make a survey which; fa the opinion of the Bureau of Public Roads, is sufficient to se- cure federal funds and meet the future needs of Ada. In the meantime, the state high- way, department came, forward offered to do the study. Their study would cost and the city would be responsible for 15 per cent of the cost. Thus, for less outlay, the city could secure a more extensive survey. Since the first contract was con- and the-remainder would be bonu tingent -upon. McCurdy securing federal participation and this is not forthcoming, it.left the way open for a new approach with the state. Dawson noted that the state was "not trying to cut 'McCurdy out" but he stressed that the state had facilities .at its command which were not available. to- McCurdy. He noted the study, would look well into the future and would be a "continuing" affair. McCurdy indicated he would have his. report ready-at the end of a six-month period. The state plans a more ambitious program. Dawson said that ordinarily the report, representing-four, phases, requires up to one year for' the first portions and a year later for the final portions for a total of two years. "I wonder if our traffic signals can last, two asked Coun- cilman Joe Bonar. City Manager J. B. Davidson then suggested that the portion of the 'report dealing with signal lights and. traffic control be han- dled first.. Dawson" indicated this could be done and a report on this phase of the study could be before the council in eight to ten months. Finally, councilmen agreed to execute a new "contract with the state, contingent upon study.and approval by the city attorney. Once the contract is executed, field work on the survey will get underway immediately. Bennett Story was the spokes- man on: behalf of Clear-Vue TV Inc.

By Linda van de Kamp In 2007, Madam Gracelina (45 years old) was going to open a business with her husband in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. She had managed to rent a nice building for their company at a central location in the city centre and had bought all the necessary equipment. There were also some possible future customers Dona Gracelina was in contact with and she was all ready to start. However, after having dealt with the right government department in Maputo for several months, government officials would not hand over the required licence. She suspected that the officials were waiting for her to pay them an additional sum of money to proceed, but she refused. In the Brazilian Pentecostal God is Love Church that she frequented, she handed over the project file with the company plans and copies of all the papers she had to arrange for the licence to a Brazilian pastor. He would take it with him on his travels until he was back in Brazil where the church's founder was going to pray for her. During the service it was revealed that an evil spirit stood behind Dona Gracelina and this was following her wherever she went. The pastor expelled the spirit and proposed a programme of prayer, offerings and fasting to defeat the demon.
Studies on religious transnationalism have addressed the role of religion for migrants in maintaining the link between the home and host society. A central question is how transnational religion plays a role in preserving a sense of cultural continuity or in encouraging cultural change in contact between migrants and the new society in which migrants are subjected to a forceful public agenda that usually emphasizes integration. In this context, it has been argued that transnational Pentecostalism encourages stability in situations of mobility and provides for cultural continuity by offering migrants a 'home away from home'.

The Orthodox Jewish parents of a Florida Jewish teen on life support have filed a motion in court to prevent the hospital from removing life-sustaining machines.
Danielle Zfat, 19, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor 14 months ago, is hospitalized at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Fla. She entered the hospital in late November and was placed on life support, according to the local television station WSVN.
According to the motion filed with a local court, the hospital indicated that as of Jan. 3 it would remove life support. As Orthodox Jews, the Zfat family does not believe in removing life support.
A family attorney, Manachem Mayberg, told WSVN that hospital doctors asked Danielle if she wanted to remain on life support and she blinked her eyes once to signify yes.
The hospital released a statement Wednesday that said, "Our hearts and compassion are with the family at this difficult time. Due to patient confidentiality, we are unable to discuss the medical aspects of this case, except to say that it was not the hospital's intention to remove life support. As an institution that values deeper caring, we do our utmost to respect religious and cultural beliefs."
Zfat's synagogue has asked for prayers for her.

Car Goes Over Ocean Beach Cliff: Driver Airlifted to Hospital
The car went off the end of Orchard Street near Cable Street about 3:20 p.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Surfers tried to assist the driver, but were unable to, so a helicopter was dispatched to hoist the driver out, a fire dispatcher said.
The driver was then flown to a hospital, the dispatcher said.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the crash or the condition of the driver.

The new report is from the National Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.
It puts Texas in the top ten for toxic power plant emissions, behind some Big Coal states like Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The good news, however, is that power plants in the U.S. overall are releasing 19 percent less toxic chemicals than a year ago. These chemicals include mercury, arsenic and acid gases.
John Walke, an attorney with the NRDC, says there are two main reasons why:
"The first is the increasing use by power companies of natural gas which is a cheaper and less polluting fuel. The second factor is the installation of state-of-the-art pollution controls by many plants."
Walke says power companies have begun installing new technology because new EPA rules go into effect in a few years.
When you take a closer look at these pollution rankings, Texas emerges as a special case. Texas does rank #10, but it's #1 when you look at just one pollutant, mercury. That's because many Texas power plants burn lignite, a type of coal that is high in mercury.
Peter Altman is also with the NRDC:
"Mercury is the one that we have been the most concerned about because it has such profound impacts on our brains and our neurological systems, particularly those of children and unborn children."
The coal-burning power plant closest to Houston is NRG's W.A. Parish plant in Fort Bend County. It ranks fourth in the state for toxic air pollutants.
But spokesman David Knox says Parish is ahead of federal deadlines when it comes to installing the best pollution controls.
"Due to the low sulfur fuel we use and the emissions controls we've installed, on a per megawatt basis, it is significantly cleaner than a number of other plants in the nation."
The new EPA rules for power plants don't go into effect until 2015, but they are already under political attack and the focus of lawsuits.
The state of Texas is one of the states that has sued to stop the new rules.

Legislation Would Benefit the Trial Bar and not Victims
WASHINGTON, D.C. Jan. 9, 2009—The International Franchise Association, in letters sent this week, urged the new Congress to oppose two pieces of legislation that will increase litigation rather than directly address job and business growth in a severely weakened economy. Both bills, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act, were passed by the U.S. House of Representatives previously, but were blocked in the Senate. They were reintroduced on the first day of the session on Tuesday and will be considered by the full House today.
"The franchise industry strongly supports equal employment opportunity and opposes unlawful discrimination," said David French, vice president of Government Relations. "It is unfortunate, however, that the House has chosen to begin work this year with a litigation-first agenda at a time when the U.S economy and hundreds of thousands of small businesses are struggling. These two bills will unfairly increase the risk of unnecessary litigation against employers likely causing further job loss and weaker economic output."
The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would eliminate the statute of limitations for claims involving wage discrimination. This would allow individuals to file claims for actions taken years or even decades in the past. The Paycheck Fairness Act would make it easier to file class action lawsuits, and it would allow trial lawyers to seek unlimited punitive and compensatory damages from employers for violations of the Equal Pay Act. Since 1963, it has been illegal to discriminate against individuals in similar jobs on the basis of gender.
"The economy lost 2.6 million jobs in 2008, and the House is responding today with legislation that will only result in the hiring of more trial lawyers," French said. "Instead of focusing on legislation that places additional, unnecessary regulatory burdens on employers, Congress should take steps to help franchised businesses find access to credit so that they can continue their significant contributions to the economy, including creating jobs in communities across the country."
