Pro and cons of targeted selective treatment against digestive-tract strongyles of ruminants
INRA, IASP, 213, Resistance and Virulence, 37380 Nouzilly, France
* Fax: 33 (0)2 47 42 77 74 – E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The increasing prevalence of resistance to anthelmintics among gastrointestinal nematodes and the desire for lower input agriculture have promoted the idea that targeted selective treatment (treating the animals in need of such a treatment and only them) could be a sustainable solution for controlling internal parasites of ruminants. The pros are the slowing of resistance prevalence, lower residues of anthelmintics in meat and milk, and lower cost; the cons are the difficulty and time spent on selecting animals in need of treatment and the possibility of lower production. Using actual experiments and modelling we show that targeted selective treatment can be used to sustainably control gastrointestinal nematode infections in flock.
Key words: anthelmintic / treatment / resistance / targeted selective treatment / ruminant

This article, entitled "My First Weekend Home Alone," comes from Melanie Bloom, MomsEveryday blogger from Lincoln, NE.
I recently spent an entire weekend away from my husband and two kids. This was my first time being away from all of them!
My husband took our two children, ages 1 and 3, to visit some of his relatives that live about 8 hours away. This was planned to visit family and to give me a weekend all alone to do whatever I wanted! I have such a sweet husband. He actually wanted me to stay home and spend some time alone!
You know that being a mom means being on the go all the time, caring for kids, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, working 40 hours per week and everything in between! I was excited and nervous about all of that disappearing for three entire days.
They drove off and I cried as I waved at them pulling out of the drive! The house was quiet. I looked around and realized that I had no one asking me for anything, no toys to pick up, nowhere to go! It was strange to be in this position.
My first order of business on my solo weekend: cleaning. Really? Yes, I wanted to clean! I swept, vacuumed, dusted, even painted parts of the ceiling! I was actually enjoying it. It feels good to get things accomplished!
Of course, I was able to spend plenty of time relaxing! I caught up on watching my latest obsession, Downton Abbey.
Do you ever try to look back and remember what life was like before being married and having kids. How did I spend my time? I'm sure I could have accomplished so much more when I had all that free time. I did get to take naps whenever I wanted, though. Naps are good.
Becoming a wife and mother certainly teaches us to appreciate time and manage it as effectively as we can!
I was concerned about being away from them for that long and talked with husband and kids each night. It was even better when they came home and I gave them really big hugs!
With my family back, the clean house didn't last very long, but it was fun while it lasted! It's good to be together again.

Town Square
Laws of Life Essay's / Luncheon
Original post made by Aaron, Highland Oaks, on Mar 7, 2008
To start off, the strings that played during this lunch were awsome. As a mucisian, I was very impressed on how they sounded. Violin, and all strings for that matter are more difficult to learn and master. They sounded great, Good job.
My brother was one of the finalist, taking 4th place for the seniors. As I sat there reading and listening to what these kids had to say, I was very impressed. The topics are those which all of us could occassionally use a reminder of these outstanding personality traits that we should all consider and use frequently. I've come to realize all of the young adults up there, have a better understanding of people and situations, that most adults aren't even attempting to use themselves these days. In some cases myself as well.
I think we could all take a page out of these 20 fantastic people. I don't say kids at this point, simply cause the topics, and examples used to articulate their point, were very thought over and adult in there explanations. I am very happy that Foothill is doing this for it's 4th consecutive year. It acknowledges those who think outside their own high school drama filled lives, and into the broader picture, of how people are, have to live, and the scenarios that can be learned only through life experience. Sociology is a class students now have to take in college, but what is sociology, the study of life, of people, their actions, and their integration into their environment. These are some of the only kids I've seen at this age that obsorb life, not just living it. Showing compassion, honesty, repect, self discipline, integrity, and respect. The life lessons, which we should all user and practice. But to understand and appreciate that life for some isn't as easy as others. As in a privledged society like Pleasanton, you don't see as much as one would like.
One more time congratulations to the 20 students who were awarded today, you guys are great. One more ovation for the string groups which performed. Great Job. Great job to everyone, I know our students work hard and could use a congrats here and there.

Here Here...let's get more comments on this one and support the positive, instead of emphasizing the negative. This is our majority...good kids, being taught by great teachers, and recieving praise for what they're doing...let's try and make this posting recieve the most comments out of any of the threads...post your congratulations here!!!! Keep them coming, and encourage your friends to do the same.

congrats to the good kids. it's nice to hear that not all of them are doin dope, drinking, and recking their cars like all the other threads. Pleasanton has an outstanding youth population and we need to encourage the possitive. that's how possitive behavior spreads.

The scientists say they have created a membrane that can absorb up to 20 times its weight in oil, and can be recycled many times for future use. The oil itself can also be recovered. Some 200,000 tons of oil have already been spilled at sea since the start of the decade.
"What we found is that we can make 'paper' from an interwoven mesh of nanowires that is able to selectively absorb hydrophobic liquids--oil-like liquids--from water," said Francesco Stellacci, an associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and leader of the work.
In addition to its environmental applications, the nanowire paper could also impact filtering and the purification of water, said Jing Kong, an assistant professor of electrical engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and one of Stellacci's colleagues on the work. She noted that it could also be inexpensive to produce because the nanowires of which it is composed can be fabricated in larger quantities than other nanomaterials.
Stellacci explained that there are other materials that can absorb oils from water, "but their selectivity is not as high as ours." In other words, conventional materials still absorb some water, making them less efficient at capturing the contaminant.
The new material appears to be completely impervious to water. "Our material can be left in water a month or two, and when you take it out it's still dry," Stellacci said. "But at the same time, if that water contains some hydrophobic contaminants, they will get absorbed."
Made of potassium manganese oxide, the nanowires are stable at high temperatures. As a result, oil within a loaded membrane can be removed by heating above the boiling point of oil. The oil evaporates, and can be condensed back into a liquid. The membrane--and oil--can be used again.
Two key properties make the system work. First, the nanowires form a spaghetti-like mat with many tiny pores that make for good capillarity, or the ability to absorb liquids. Second, a water-repelling coating keeps water from penetrating into the membrane. Oil, however, isn't affected, and seeps into the membrane.
The membrane is created by the same general technique as its low-tech cousin, paper. "We make a suspension of nanowires, like a suspension of cellulose [the key component of paper], dry it on a non-sticking plate, and we get pretty much the same results," Stellacci said.
In a commentary accompanying the Nature Nanotechnology paper, Joerg Lahann of the University of Michigan concluded: "Stellacci and co-workers have provided an example of a nanomaterial that has been rationally designed to address a major environmental challenge."
In addition to Stellacci and Kong (who is also affiliated with MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics, or RLE), other authors are Jikang Yuan, a postdoctoral associate in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and RLE; Xiaogang Liu, now at the National University of Singapore; Ozge Akbulut of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering; Junqing Hu of the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan; and Steven L. Suib of the University of Connecticut, Storrs.
This work was primarily funded by the Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation at MIT.

Do you travel light or heavy?
Always too heavy. Most trips are for business and I inevitably end up carrying brochures and other collateral.
Cattle or first class?
Definitely cattle; this is pretty much where all of our clients travel, so I'm there too (although I do like Space+ on Air NZ).
I can't travel without...
My alarm clock. More reliable than a wakeup call and louder than my phone.
What type of suitcase do you carry?
A Samsonite hard shell case that I bought when I was a Tour Manager in Europe. Great piece of kit!
What's always in your hand luggage?
Nowadays it's the laptop, which is a bit different to my backpacking days
Are you a planner or a last minute packer?
A mixture, I try to pack most things the night before travel.
What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?
My wife!
Favourite or most exciting airport to land in?
It has to be Changi in Singapore. If you're going to get stuck anywhere, this is the place to be.
Best packing tip?
Write a list so you remember to pack those last-minute items.
Most memorable trip?
That would have to be my training trip in Europe when I started as a Contiki Tour Manager
What do you do while on the plane?
Generally use the time to work, catch up on some reading or listen to music.
Tony Laskey is the General Manager of Contiki Holidays.

Good Morning Folks,
Yesterday I was told that non-Utah residents must have a CCW permit from their own state before applying for a Utah CCW permit? Can anyone tell me if this is true?
Secondly, if you have a permit from your own state (in this case Colorado) and a Utah non-resident permit ...... THEN let your own state's permit expire .... can you still get a non-resident Utah renewal? (hope this makes sense)
Thanks for your help.....

Australian state government bonds have been caught in the crossfire of the escalating sovereign debt crisis, with bond spreads blowing out relative to sovereign bonds.
The spreads of semi-government bonds issued by the Queensland Treasury Corporation have been particularly hard hit – widening to as high as 1.5 percentage points above the Australian government bond, from an annual average of 0.9 of a percentage point.
Spreads of NSW, Victorian and South Australian bonds have also widened as investors cut their risk exposures to non-sovereign bonds.
This includes global investors such as Asian central banks and sovereign wealth funds that had been accumulating state government bonds over the past year because of the additional yields these offered.
"The typical response over the last few weeks from any money manager, including sovereign wealth funds and central banks, has been to only hold sovereigns, and an increasingly narrow number of them at that," said head of fixed income research at Westpac Russell Jones.
"In a general sense there's been nothing in terms of the Australian economic story or the fiscal story of the states that has caused any negative outlook. It's purely a contagion effect," said NSW Treasury Corp chief executive
The weakening of state government bonds, which are also known as semi-government bonds, is attributed to a lack of liquidity in the market with few buyers around.
"It's times like this when you need the health of the financial market intermediaries. But when that section of the financial markets infrastructure is challenged, you get the sort of market reaction that we have seen in recent weeks," said Mr Knight.
"They are not willing to take the extra risk. Nothing much has changed domestically, but the attitude to risk has seen a sea change."
The big banks are also large investors in semi-government bonds which will qualify as high quality liquid assets that lenders are required to hold under new banking regulations. While the banks will nurse losses on their trading books they are still expected to buy more bonds at cheap levels to increase their liquid assets.
The falling sharemarket is also prompting retail investors to shift into fixed-income type investments such as term deposits and corporate notes.
Woolworths' $700 million hybrid securities had a strong debut on the Australian Securities Exchange, rising by 3 per cent upon listing. That was despite a warning from the corporate regulator that hybrids, even those issued by safe companies, are riskier than they appear.

The city of Liverpool is charmingly lyrical. Wherever I walk through the city, musical themes and Beatles lyrics spontaneously erupt in my head.
I don't know whether this is due to nostalgia, telepathy or deluge of memories. Just being in this 800-year-old World Heritage City, symbolic home of the liver bird, brings a flood of memories of those halcyon days of fun and fashion inspired by the Fab Four.
I've got a ticket to ride on the ferry across the Mersey. It's rush hour and commuters crowd the decks. Others are day trippers like myself saying hello, goodbye to Liverpool on a short visit. I examine the earnest faces, some with faraway looks and wonder if Beatles lyrics are on their minds too.
The river does not look inviting with its swirling currents of khaki-brown. I have a weird notion in my head that a yellow submarine is cruising under the ferry but soon dismiss the thought as nonsense as you would never see it in the murky waters.
Later in the morning I join Frank, a Trafalgar Tour guide, on his Magical Mystery Tour of Liverpool.
Frank is a dedicated Beatles follower and he begins the tour by cruising down the fabled Penny Lane identifying landmarks familiar to the four lads.
We drive past No.20 Forthlin Road, Paul McCartney's original home, then travel on to Mathew Street in downtown Liverpool to see The Grapes pub, which is largely unchanged since the days when John Lennon and Paul went there to find inspiration.
In the atmospheric depths of The Grapes, I sit in the Beatles favourite corner, sample the local beers and soak up the nostalgia. Photos of the four famous Liverpudlians with goofy smiles adorn the walls.
Nearby is a replica of the original Cavern Club, where the Beatles played 292 times. It entices a steady stream of ageing fans like myself, who are reliving the dream. It's easy to visualise the scene during the club's heyday and feel the raw youthful energy as the music is cranked up in the small atmospheric club.
The Fab Four take pride of place on the Mathew Street's Wall of Fame that features the names of everyone who performed on that dingy cellar stage. John's statue stands leaning against a brick wall and a bronze likeness of the four mop-haired musicians surmounts The Beatles Shop.
My trip down memory lane continues on to a fine mock Tudor house called 'Mendips', at 159 Menlove Ave, South Liverpool, where John grew up in the care of his Aunt Mimi. This is where the Beatle's story began.
John's merchant seaman father left the family when the lad was four and he became Mimi's boy because his mum was not coping well. As a young teenager he re-established a relationship with his mum who taught him music; first the banjo and then the electric guitar. Sadly she was killed by a drunk driver. The loss made the young musician very bitter but music was soon to change his life in a remarkable way.
Aunt Mimi was a strict disciplinarian and cautioned John to stay out of the nearby Strawberry Fields, a reserve near the house where young people gathered. His response was to write the lyrics Strawberry Fields Forever. It is rumoured that he smoked his first cigarette and lost his virginity in the fields.
Young John spent many hours in his tiny bedroom imagining a host of images in the world around him, like the fields, Penny Lane and Eleanor Rigby. The images and dreams became song lyrics that were to take him far.
He formed a group called the Quarrymen when he was just 16 years old. They were playing a church fair gig when Paul McCartney showed up. Later Paul met George Harrison on the bus coming home from school. In March 1958, Paul arranged for John, George and drummer Pete Best to form a new band called The Beatles.
In August 1962 Ringo Starr was drummer for a group called the Hurricanes at a holiday camp when John and Paul knocked on his caravan door and invited him to join them.
John, Paul, George and Ringo were now a team. Four teenagers with no more than eight O levels between them, determined to succeed. Within two years they were caught up in the eye of a hurricane on their tour of America.
I remember the day in 1964 when the four lads hit Wellington on their New Zealand tour. It was nothing short of a revolution. Kiwis were instantly plugged into the international youth culture. A new generation and a new set of values had arrived.
The four were very different personalities yet they were strangely alike. They adopted the mop-haired look that gave them the appearance of identical quads. But how effective it was when they shook their heads in unison as a signal for the audience to scream.
And did the girls scream! It was an ear-shattering, piercing shriek of a thousand banshees in agony. The lads were constantly out of breath and run off their feet escaping the throng. Ringo once said that the only place he felt safe was in the loo.
Above all the Fab Four represented fun with a capital 'F' and they were inveterate teasers, poking fun at reporters, interviewers and fans alike. The cheeky mop-tops were enacting their own style of Goon Show humour on their rollercoaster ride to fame.
The 80-year-old Abbey Road Recording Studios in London, the oldest in the world, was where the Beatles launched their first record Love Me Do in 1962. Please Please Me followed within two months and the whole world knew about the new Mersey Beat. The album featured the four baby-faced lads bristling with energy and good humour and wearing faux-Edwardian suits with crimson linings and black velvet collars and cuffs.
The Beatle's Story, a dramatic exhibition of the fab foursome's achievements at the Albert Docks is the last stop on our tour. Audio visual displays show significant events in the Beatle's history, including the Cavern Club beginnings, Abbey Road, Sergeant Pepper, psychedelic Strawberry Fields and a Yellow Submarine with real fish swimming past.
I'm moved by the sight of George's first guitar, John's orange-tinted 'Imagine' glasses and the living history audio tour narrated by John's sister Julia. After viewing the excellent displays I'm even more emotionally involved in the wonderful story of the Beatles. It is portrayed with subtle Liverpudlian blend of humour, sentimentality and cynicism.
I come away thinking that it would be beyond human imagination to create a story like the Beatles - but it really did happen! It's incredibly sad that John, the master of the peacenik anthem exhorting all of us to live in harmony and give peace a chance, died so horribly at the hand of a celebrity freak.
John was a dreamer who asked us to imagine a world without possessions where love transcends all. His dreams of peace and love expressed in his music continue to influence the whole world.
The Beatles Story Experience at Albert Dock is 30 minutes by car or taxi from Liverpool's John Lennon Airport. In the nearby Mersey Ferries Terminal there's another Beatles Story exhibition with the Fab 4D that enables visitors to experience a magical journey through their music.
Every August the International Beatles Convention draws admirers from all over the world to Liverpool as part of the Mathew Street Music Festival. The bouncing cropped haircuts, collarless Hard Day's Night suits and mini skirted hips from another era are always in evidence, re-enacting the wonderful swinging sixties.
Beatles-themed accommodation is now available for fans. It's called the Hard Day's Night Hotel. Trafalgar Tours run conducted coach tours of England with optional extras like the Liverpool Beatles Tour.

Sudanese security police arrested Islamist opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi a few hours after he told an interview that a Tunisia style uprising was possible in the country. Within hours about a dozen of other party members were arrested by the police. Sudan has been ruled by a petty dictator for years and there is widespread discontent with lack of economic development and widespread corruption. Al-Turabi made clear of his determination to have a free election and demanded honest elections. "If they don't agree on that, we are going to fight in the streets. We're not an armed party, and we're not going to stage a coup. But, we are going to change the regime."
Most observers believe the police are torturing prisoners into making confessions about violence toward the government. However, in the words of Turabi, "what happened in Tunisia, is a reminder. This is likely to happen in Sudan." Naturally, the government of Sudan will resort to torture, but Tunisia proved you can hurt a body but you can not hurt the spirit of democracy when people are fed up.

H.S. wrestling: Region previews
State Wrestling Tournament Preview
at Wallkill Valley
Schedule: Today: first round 5 p.m.; Friday: quarterfinals 5 p.m.; Saturday: semifinals 9 a.m., followed by two rounds of wrestlebacks, consolations, finals.
Returning champions (current weight): Two-time state place-winner Dave McFadden of DePaul (145), a former state runner-up, is gunning for his third title for the Spartans. Wayne Valley's Tyler Hrycak (126) is looking for his second. Brandon Paetzell of Phillipsburg (106), Max Nauta of Warren Hills (132), returning state champ Dillon Artigliere of Roxbury (170) and High Point teammates Mike Derin (132), Jason Gaccione (145) and Kyle Stoll (195) are looking to repeat.
Top weight class: The battle at 195 among Stoll, Wayne Valley's Anthony Landberg and Kittatinny's Garrett Armstrong bears watching. Landberg, a returning state seventh, dropped a 3-2 decision to Stoll, a returning sixth, in last year's region final and a three-point decision to Stoll this season. Armstrong has lost twice to Stoll this season, the last by a 5-3 score in Saturday's District 3 final.
Prime bouts: McFadden, who finished sixth in the state last season, and Gaccione, a returning state fourth, could meet in a battle of returning champions at 145. DePaul's Scott Lavelle avenged his Passaic final loss to Wayne Valley's Justin Walker with an 8-7 victory in the District 4 final at 220. District 1 champ Jesse Windt of West Morris will look to stick his nose into that ongoing battle. Anthony Duncan of Wayne Valley and DePaul's Spencer Carey could renew their season-long rivalry in the 152-pound final. The pair split one-point decisions in January before Duncan took the third meeting with a takedown in overtime in the District 4 final. Phillipsburg's Max Elling also will be a factor there.
at Bergen Community College
Schedule: Today: first round 6 p.m.; Friday: quarterfinals 6 p.m.; Saturday: semifinals and wrestlebacks 10 a.m., consolations 4 p.m., finals to follow.
Returning champions (current weight): Returning state champion Luis Gonzalez of Don Bosco (120) is going for his fourth region title and second in Region 2. Joe Oliva of Ridgewood (138), two-time state champ Johnny Sebastian of Bergen Catholic (182) and returning state finalist Zack Chakonis of Don Bosco (220) are looking for three straight. Sam Cali of Don Bosco (132), Sean Kelly of Northern Highlands (145), St. Joseph teammates Matt Zovistoski (145) and Kevin Wilkins (285), and Bergen Catholic teammates Nick Suriano (113) and Kevin Mulligan (170) are looking to repeat. Bergen Catholic's Jordan Pagano looks to win his second straight title, but first in Region 2. Joe Trovato of Paramus (138) looks to regain the title he lost last year, while Michael Andreano of Glen Rock/Saddle Brook is looking for his first title since winning as a freshman in 2011.
Top weight class: It's a tossup between 126 and 138, but we're going with 126. Bierdumpfel, a returning state runner-up, and Bergen Catholic's Pete Lipari, a returning state seventh, are the feature matchup in a weight class that includes Kyle Cochran of Paramus and Hackensack's Taylor Shay, who have wrestled very well in the last month. Lipari beat Bierdumpfel, 5-3, the first time they faced each other in January.
Prime bouts: Look for Oliva, a returning state seventh, and Trovato, a two-time state fifth, to finally meet up this season in the 138-pound final. That opportunity was missed in the Bergen Holiday tournament because Oliva was sick. If St. Joseph's Dominic Carfagno, who placed sixth in the state in 2012, is able to go at 195, a matchup against returning state seventh Robbie Maggiulli of Emerson/Park Ridge is a match to see. Carfagno had to default one minute into their District 8 final with an injured knee. Look for Bergen Catholic's Danny DeLorenzi to have a say there as well. Andreano drops into the fray at 120, where Gonzalez will be looking to avenge his BHT loss to Demarest's Anthony Rubinetti. As always, Bergen Catholic's Tyler Casamenti can't be overlooked. BC's Conner O'Brien, who went into overtime to beat New Milford's Zac Suarez in the District 7 final at 285, will look to finish what he started in the BHT when he came within seconds of stunning Wilkins in the final. Don Bosco's Luke Farinaro could face BC's Mulligan for the fourth time at 170. Farinaro has won two of the first three meetings. BC's Christian Jenco has lost three meetings to Bosco's Chakonis, dating back to last year's region final. This season, he has lost by two and four points. Old Tappan's Tyler Mullen will be looking to avenge his pin loss to Bergen Catholic's Joe Grello in the BHT final at 152.
at West Orange
Schedule: Today: first round 6 p.m.; Friday: quarterfinals 6 p.m.; Saturday: semifinals 9 a.m., wrestlebacks and consolations to follow, finals 4:30 p.m.
Returning champions (current weight): Returning state champion Anthony Giraldo of North Bergen (132) is looking to add a fourth region title to his gaudy résumé, while Armond Cox of St. Peter's (285) goes for his third. Marc Mastropietro of Hasbrouck Heights/Wood-Ridge (126), Tyler Loughlin of Becton/Wallington (152) and St. Peter's teammates Alec Kelly (106), Ryan Burkert (145) and Christian Colucci (195) are looking to repeat. Michael Russo of St. Peter's (120) is looking to regain the title he lost last year to Clifton's Jean DuBois, a returning state fourth who was forced to skip the district with an injury.
Top weight class: It might be worth it to hang around for the 285-pounders. Emmanuel Soriano of Passaic Tech will be looking for another shot against Cox of St. Peter's after having to injury default in the first period of their Region 4 final at 220 last season. Patrick Andriani of Passaic Valley, who lost by two to Soriano in the Passaic County tournament and was pinned by Cox, also is a contender to medal there.
Prime bouts: Becton/Wallington's Nathan Bueno will be looking to avenge his 5-3 loss to unbeaten Sean Roesing of Secaucus earlier this month. Both are returning runners-up. Jan Castellanos of Secaucus is unbeaten at 182, but could face a motivated Jonathan Beety of Hasbrouck Heights/Wood-Ridge, who fell by a point in overtime in their regular-season meeting. Look for an interesting showdown at 152 between Loughlin of Becton/Wallington and returning runner-up Pat Gerish of Newark Academy, who was at a different weight class last season. Both were named MOW at their respective districts with a pair of big pins apiece. Giraldo is a heavy favorite at 132, but that weight still bears watching. Clifton's Moe Farhan, whose only loss this season came by a point against returning state champ Gonzalez of Don Bosco, has been a different wrestler since getting pinned in the first period by Giraldo in last year's region final. St. Peter's Sonny Simonetti held Giraldo to three points in their District 16 final Saturday won by Giraldo, 3-1.

In Sarah Ruhl's smart and pointed satire In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play, it's not just middle-class Victorian women who are sexually clueless: it's their men as well. The time is the 1880s, and man of science Dr. Givings (Michael Oosterom) is using a primitive electronic vibrator to treat "hysterical" female patients, who depart reinvigorated and refreshed while his own unhappy wife, Catherine (Joanna Strapp), eavesdrops enviously in the adjoining room. Eventually Catherine summons the courage to surreptitiously invade her husband's office and discover for herself the pleasurable side effects of this pioneering modality. Directed by August Viverito, the play successfully extends well beyond burlesque, sporting shades of Ibsen while focusing on the struggles between the sexes, along with the loneliness, boredom and frustration of traditionally obedient women's lives. At first this production's opening-night presentation seemed stagey and less than ideally crisp, but it gathered steam as the performers grew limber and confident and immersed themselves in the story. Some of the most hilarious moments arise around Yael Berkovich's portrayal of Mrs. Daldry, a formerly weepy neurotic whose vocal responses to the doctor's treatment soar to operatic realms. By contrast, the play's most moving highlights are embodied in Candace Nicholas-Lippman's fine rendering of Elizabeth, the African-American wet nurse hired to breastfeed Catherine's baby when Catherine's own milk stops flowing. An honest working woman mourning the death of her own infant, she hasn't the luxury of the antics of the spoiled upper classes. It is she who enlightens the other ladies about the true nature of the sensations they are experiencing for the first time.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 3 p.m. Starts: Aug. 24. Continues through Sept. 28, 2013

Once more, with feeling

Second weddings can have a magical effect on the bride and groom while the rest of the family is either caught up in the thrill of betrothal or snarkily commenting on the bride's ordinary looks and the groom's bad taste.
And that's just the commoners. So when the Prince of Wales, HRH Prince Charles, announced his intention to marry Camilla Parker Bowles, the fur flew and it wasn't just her flyaway hair flapping in the wind. First there was his mother, HM The Queen, who announced on her official website: "The Duke of Edinburgh and I are very happy that the Prince of Wales and Mrs Parker Bowles are to marry. We have given them our warmest good wishes for their future together."
That's probably the equivalent of a royal high-five for one who is not easily amused. But then came the backhander when she said she wasn't going to the wedding.
That's where Cleaford Service's public service page comes in with this explanation: "The official view is that the Queen is respecting Charles's wish for a low-key marriage ceremony, but many in Britain wonder if there is more behind the decision than this."
Charles' sister, Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, is said to have her prominent nose quite out of joint with the thought that Camilla will be a rung above her in the monarchy stakes. She's not going to the wedding, either, and nor are her father, Prince Philip, and brothers Princes Andrew and Edward.
They're all fronting up for the blessing by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, who, in a proper Church of England way, announced: "I am pleased that Prince Charles and Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles have decided to take this important step. I hope and pray that it will prove a source of comfort and strength to them and to those who are closest to them."
Amen. Members of the public can pray if they like, but sending a telegram is probably more practical for the heathens. By clicking on the cheesy (as Cate Blanchett would say) photograph of wedding rings on the site, you can log in and send a piece of wedding poetry or kind words.
Choosing a wedding gift can be a nerve-racking experience for guests, never mind loyal taxpaying subjects. This is where a wedding guide comes in handy.
Maybe Prince Charles has chosen not to have a best man after reading the five-minute wedding speech guide with this sage piece of advice: "WARNING! Absolutely no words about ex-girlfriends or past relationships, and don't say anything that will make the groom look like a slacker, loser, drunk or druggie. Making too much fun of the bride and groom is definitely not allowed."
Who could he trust?
You would think the Prince would want to tell the world, or at least the Commonwealth, about his wedding, however, there's no trace of it on his site. There is plenty of fluff about his recent trip Down Under. If he'd wanted a crowd, you'd think the wedding would be held on Sunday when folks don't have to work or shop, but he's obviously got a touch of the Scottish because by getting married on Friday, April 8, he saves £60 ($A145). A Friday wedding at the Guildhall in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is £320 ($776). If he was a total cheapskate, he'd have chosen the Register office in Maidenhead, where it would have cost only £37.50 ($91), including a certificate of marriage, but that's probably too downmarket.
"Do I invite my ex-husband to my wedding?" is a question asked of Millie Martini Bratten, editor-in-chief of Brides magazine.
"Inviting a former spouse who no longer feels close to your family will leave him with two fairly awkward choices: not attending and looking bitter or attending and feeling uncomfortable."
Wonder if Andrew Parker Bowles has received his invitation yet?
And, as the late business tycoon Sir James Goldsmith apparently told a mate: "If you marry your mistress, you create a vacancy."
Anyone interested in the job?

RENO, Nev. -- The University of Nevada men's tennis team was victorious in both of its matches this weekend after dropping the UMBC Retrievers on Sunday by a score of 6-1.
The Wolf Pack won its fifth straight match and improved its record to 10-2 (0-1 MW) after its match with the Retrievers (9-5). This is the second straight weekend that Nevada has swept a two-match home stand, as the Pack did so last weekend with victories over Grand Canyon and Montana, and defeated Seattle University on Friday. Nevada got on a roll early against UMBC by sweeping doubles play (3-for-3) and cruised through singles play, winning 5-of-6 matches. Between Friday and Sunday, the Wolf Pack was a combined 17-for-18 in both singles and doubles play.
"Overall, it was a good outing this week," said Erik Burton, Nevada head coach. "We can definitely improve our intensity and ability to finish. Doubles will continue to improve for some tough matches coming up. We get some time off for these guys and then we're back to work this Thursday."
Doubles play began when Quentin Mege and Moez Chargui took home the first win of the day for Nevada, as they rolled past Daniel Gray and Alex Drean, 8-2. Fernando Sunago and Andrew Poustie followed with an 8-5 win over Eliott Loubatie and Kamal Patel to give Nevada a 1-0 lead. After a tiebreaker, the No. 32 national doubles team Victor Ouvrard and Robert Allan outlasted Justin Carter and Melker Svard, 8-7(11-9).
Ouvrard opened the singles scoring, as the No.7 ITA Mountain Region athlete ousted Carter in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2. Ryan Andrada made the Nevada lead 3-0 when he defeated Loubatie, 6-0, 6-1. Allan got the match-deciding point for Nevada after he knocked off Patel, 6-4, 6-2. It was a 4-0 Nevada lead after Chargui dropped Svard, 6-2, 6-4. Montana grabbed a victory on court five before Quentin Mege grabbed the final victory of the day, as he overcame Drean 7-6(7-1), 7-6(7-5).
The Wolf Pack will be in action again on Sunday, March 23 when it faces Eastern Washington on the courts of Caughlin Athletic Club at 9 am.

Five thoughts on Tom Brady, Adrian Clayborn and a strange day in Foxboro
|08.15.13 at 12:46 am ET
1. We know that at this point, the prognosis on Tom Brady's knee is a good one, with one report from ESPN's Adam Schefter indicating that he is likely to practice on Thursday if the diagnosis remains unchanged from the one that leaked Wednesday evening. While it's important to remember that Thursday will essentially be a walkthrough for both teams in advance of Friday's preseason contest, the sight of Brady on the field in even a limited basis would be an encouraging one for the team. (Thursday's session — the last official practice of camp for the team — is set to kick off at 2 p.m.) Nevertheless, the few frantic hours after the quarterback went down served as a reminder that few individuals can have the sort of seismic impact on the game like he can. Every one of Brady's actions creates some sort of a ripple in the NFL pond — less than an hour after the news broke that the quarterback went down, the Las Vegas Super Book took all Patriots bets off the board, and Bovada suspended all Super Bowl and AFC playoff odds.
2. Regardless of how severe the injury is, Brady needs to be on the field with the young receivers as often as possible. This is not a year where the quarterback can miss out on an opportunity to get reps with his pass catchers, especially with so many of them in the system for the first time. Rookies like Kenbrell Thompkins, Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce and Zach Sudfeld have impressed to this point, but going forward, they need the quarterback on the field on a consistent basis. While there's no sense of just how much he can play over the next few weeks (and any benefit would have to outweigh a potential aggravation of the injury), the youngsters are at a key point in their evolution, and for them to continue to succeed, they need Brady throwing to them as often as possible, preferably in game situations.
3. If Brady is out for any stretch — a practice today, this week's game . . . whatever it may be — this presents Ryan Mallett and the Patriots with a real opportunity. If Brady is indeed out, Mallett should get the chance to work with the No. 1 offense, and that could provide some real insight into whether or not the Arkansas product can succeed in the NFL. Entering his third season with the Patriots, when he's been given the reps in the past, the signal-caller has yet to display the sort of consistency that's needed to run the New England offense. If he does get a week with the starters and gets the opportunity to command a reasonable facsimile of the starting offense in a game situation — even in a preseason contest — it would give the Patriots some idea as to whether or not he could do it if called upon for a more significant assignment. (And it would also prove to the rest of the league that Mallett could potentially be worth a second- or third-round pick if New England does try and deal him between now and the 2014 draft.)
4. This one play shouldn't be an overall indictment on Nate Solder's summer. Prior to him getting beasted by Adrian Clayborn and pushed into Brady, the left tackle out of Colorado had been having a really good training camp. His teammates have spoken glowingly of the progressions he's made over the course of the offseason, with Logan Mankins raving about his talent level. He's been as competitive as any one of the other offensive linemen in the one-on-one drills, and delivered a terrific block on the first play from scrimmage in the preseason opener against the Eagles, opening a hole for Stevan Ridley's 62-yard run to open the game. Left tackles will occasionally get beaten, especially by a pass rusher like Clayborn, who was listed as Tampa's best pass rusher in 2011 by Pro Football Focus, having graded out at +11.1. (He was on the shelf for almost all of last season with a knee injury.) There's no shame in losing a one-on-one battle with someone like Clayborn.
(For what it's worth, Clayborn also did a great job handling the situation, saying all the right things and demonstrating a nice touch when he was asked what he thinks when he sees someone like Brady on the ground after a play like that: 'Hopefully, he gets back up.')
5. When it comes to injuries, one of our first calls is always to the great Will Carroll, who said Wednesday night that when it comes to this situation, it appears the Patriots — and Brady — will be OK. 'Brady appears to have dodged a bullet or at least another surgery to repair his knee,' Carroll said Wednesday night after getting a chance to watch video of the incident. 'The falling lineman is always a worry, which makes me wonder why Brady — and the Pats — would allow him out on the field in that kind of situation without a brace protecting him. The low-grade sprain and normal bruising shouldn't affect him with a few days of rest and treatment. Brady doesn't play much in the preseason anyway, so I don't see this setting him or the Pats offense back in anyway. Exhale, New England.'

The nation's major internet service providers are delaying an initiative backed by the Obama administration and pushed by Hollywood and record labels to disrupt and possibly terminate internet access for online copyright scofflaws.
The announcement Wednesday by Jill Lesser, executive director of the Center for Copyright Information — the name of the group behind the program — marks the second time the so-called "Copyright Alert System" has been delayed. The program was to begin by year's end, but has now been tabled until early 2013 because Hurricane Sandy "seriously affected our final testing schedules," Lesser said.
The plan, now four years in the making, includes participation by AT&T, Cablevision Systems, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon. After four offenses, it calls for these residential internet providers to initiate so-called "mitigation measures" (.pdf) that might include reducing internet speeds and redirecting a subscriber's service to an "educational" landing page about infringement.
On the first offense, internet subscribers will receive an e-mail "alert" from their ISP saying the account "may have been" misused for online content theft. On the second offense, the alert might contain an "educational message" about the legalities of online file sharing.
On the third and fourth infractions, the subscriber will likely receive a pop-up notice asking the subscriber to acknowledge receipt of the alert.
After four alerts, according to the program, "mitigation measures" may commence. They include temporary reductions of internet speeds, redirection to a landing page until the subscriber contacts the ISP to discuss the matter or reviews and responds to some educational information about copyright or other measures.
Internet subscribers may challenge their dings for a $35 filing fee paid to an arbitration service. They also get a free pass, one time, if they claim the infringement was based on having an open, unencrypted Wi-Fi network.
The internet companies may eliminate service altogether for repeat file-sharing offenders, although the plan does not directly call for such drastic action.
Peer-to-peer file sharing of copyrighted works is the infringement that the initiative is trying to target. The activity is easily detectable, since the IP addresses of internet customers are generally apparent when users transfer files. Internet-snoop MarkMonitor of San Francisco has been tapped to police the traffic.
Cyberlockers, e-mail attachments, shared Dropbox folders and other ways to infringe are not included in the crackdown.
The agreement, heavily lobbied for by the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America, does not require that internet service providers filter copyrighted material transiting their networks.
And despite the initiative, rights holders will remain free to sue internet subscribers who engage in infringing activities. The Copyright Act allows damages of up to $150,000 per infringement.
The initiative was set to kick in earlier this year but was tabled by ISPs who feared a backlash after federal anti-piracy proposals — the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act — went down in flames amid a huge internet protest and blackout.

Chris Brown released his latest video on Monday for his song "Fine China," off his upcoming album "X."
Here's what you need to know about it.
1. Someone watched "Rush Hour" too many times.
In the music video for his latest single, "Fine China," the singer gets a taste for some Asian flavor and romances the wrong girl -- the daughter of Triad boss (played by Francois Chau) -- does some kung fu dance-fighting with tough guys and ends up in a standoff against bad people with guns. It's all rather ridiculous.
2. The opening scenes in the "Fine China" music video were shot in Hancock Park... the same neighborhood where Chris Brown beat up Rihanna in 2009.
The scenes were shot just blocks away from the domestic abuse incident and in both incidents Brown was driving a red Lamborghini.

They tried, oh how they tried.
But no matter the Bismarck du Plessis questions asked by the South African media contingent of Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer and skipper Jean de Villiers, the answer remained consistent: "We have only ourselves to blame for this defeat."
The only concessions to what they were no doubt thinking about how du Plessis' two yellow cards affected the result were a pointed reply by midfielder de Villiers of du Plessis' tackling technique, and Meyer's strained smile at the end of the inquisition, something he followed up with: "It was very nice being in New Zealand."
Asked how du Plessis was feeling after being shown a yellow card for his tackle on Dan Carter, in which the All Blacks first-five injured his shoulder, and another yellow - which resulted in a red - for his use of the elbow against Liam Messam, de Villiers said: "He's disappointed. Bismarck's a physical player, he's a very good tackler, and I think he executes his tackles very well."
The Springboks had headed into this test on top of the Rugby Championship and were confident they could beat the All Blacks and an Eden Park hoodoo which stretches back to 1937.
Despite being without hooker du Plessis, who was in commanding form, for 10 minutes of the first half, that confidence was still radiating at half-time despite the 17-10 All Blacks' lead.
"We didn't start well, but I felt in the last 10 minutes before half-time when we just scored [through du Plessis], we were very positive in the cloak-room," Meyer said.
De Villiers added: "The All Blacks are a tough team to play when you have 15 players on the field, when you have 14 it's a tough ask.
"We haven't won here for nearly 80 years, when you have 14 players it's not going to happen."

Towers of faith.
Poem by: The elder poet
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
From the dust and the smoke of the towers that fell.
With the metal and concrete . It all looks like hell.
Death and destruction for the country to see.
Brings forth the pride and faith of the American free.
Those jackles that did it. .We're right on their heels.
These people that did it . We won't cut no deals.
The wounded and dead. They're so hard to number.
The countries in awe. The feelings are somber.
It's so easy to hate. The feelings won't linger.
No repercutions till we point the finger.
Our freedoms are strong . Our spirts are high.
Don't do it again. Don't ever try.
The price that they paid. There's no way to repay it.
Too late for your sorries. There's no way you can say it.
You've messed with our families . Too many lives have been touched .
You have given us reason to hate you with lust.
We've joined God and country . The way it should be.
God bless this country and the American free.

Acclaimed Dutch photographer and filmmaker Ari Marcopoulos recently completed "Piece of Shit," a short film on RATKING. Shot on Super 16mm, "Piece of Shit" features RATKING performing a live, one take version of their song of the same name from last November's WIKI93 EP. The result is a documentary-style video shot in the trio's Brooklyn practice space that displays Marcopoulos' signature muted, black and white aesthetic. To compliment the film, Marcopoulos created a limited edition 5″ x 7″ zine comprised of 38 original film stills, photographs and screen grabs. Titled "Piece of Shit," the zine documents RATKING wandering New York City, recording their debut album with legendary DJ/audio engineer Young Guru (at Just Blaze's Harlem studio), and rehearsing for their upcoming tour with GZA. "Piece of Shit," the zine, is limited to 150 copies and will be available from XL Recordings' online store, Dashwook Books, Reed Space and at RATKING's upcoming live shows. Some of the group's upcoming live shows dates and venues can be seen here.

I had my 30k service done on 1/12/07 (on my Birthday )
That Saturday, I went to start the car, the motor kicks over and then dies. It took 3 to 4 tries until it started like normal.
Today, this is the second time it happened again. Same as Before, the engine starts to turn over and then dies.
This has never happen before until now.
Now the car was not cold, It was started several times durring the day, and I drive it daily.
I'm going to bring the car back to the dealer that did the 30k service to correct this. I have a feeling that something was not properly connected.
Anyone have any idea what could cause this so I can inform the dealer to check that area.

Judge refuses to dismiss charges against former sheriff
ERWIN, Tenn. - The trial of former Unicoi County Sheriff Kent Harris will move forward next month despite a defense motion trying to get some of the charges dismissed.
According to court staff, Judge John Kerry Blackwood denied a defense request to toss out the official misconduct charges against Harris.
Harris is accused of using the sheriff's department supplies and equipment to prepare a letter asking for money to pay his defense attorneys' fees while he was on the job as sheriff.
The former sheriff faces numerous felony charges ranging from tampering with evidence to official misconduct.
Harris went to trial twice on a theft charge and both times it ended in a hung jury.
His next trial is set to begin in early July.

This is not the first time that he has done it and surely not the last time as well. MS Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings to yet another close victory on Thursday. Although Cameron White, the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper, might have helped him with his bizarre decision to give the last over to Ashish Reddy, who had not bowled previously in the innings, when 15 runs were needed. And Dhoni hardly needed to break a sweat as Reddy was so wayward himself. He was calm and composed as ever and his 67* off 37 balls proved to be the difference between the two sides.
But neither the gaffe of the opposition skipper nor the drop chance by Amit Mishra earlier in the inning could take away the fact that Dhoni once again showed his superiority in this form of the game. He took a few balls (six) to get off the mark, but didn't take long to get going. And as we have seen often, once he is set, he demolishes the best in the business. Dale Steyn, the world's best bowler at present, tasted that when he was taken apart by Dhoni. Unperturbed by the reputation of Steyn, Dhoni smacked him - when he was bowling close to 150 kph mark - for three sixes.
Dhoni's innings ensured that CSK continue their winning march in IPL 6, but he too admitted after the match that the team needs to do work a lot, especially in their bowling at the death.
"I think we started off well with the ball but gave away too many runs in the death. Chasing 160 becomes difficult, the bowlers did not do well," he said after the match.
He also admitted that though the side has been playing well, they still have to raise their game. "The performance of the side has been good but as we get to the latter stage, we need to raise our game. Bowlers need to start bowling yorkers, becomes critical towards the end of the tournament, they need to realise that it's the one recipe that does not go wrong."
For Sunrisers, the loss was heartbreaking as they were so close to to beating one of the strongest sides in the IPL. And therefore there was no surprise when White expressed his disappointment with the result. "[It] was a good total in the end. [We were] a bit poor in the first six overs but did well in the last five. The loss was disappointing," White said after the match.
"To get ourselves in this position and lose was bad too. There were a few areas we were off, which we need to improve for the game day after tomorrow [against Rajasthan Royals]. You need to learn from your mistakes and make better players."
CSK will face Kolkata Knight Riders at home on Sunday and while another loss will only jeopardise Kolkata's position in the league, another win will only strengthen CSK's position in the points tally. And Dhoni will ensure that his team end up on the winning side yet again.

Noted naturalist E. O. Wilson has asked actor Harrison Ford to assist in his efforts to bring balance to the planet and restore its biodiversity. Ford, who has actively served on the board of directors at Conservation International for nearly 20 years, recently answered Wilson's call to fund $10,000 awards each year to writers who produce seminal works about science for the public.
Following their announcement of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Award for Literary Science Writing on Oct. 15, 2010, the dynamic conservation duo spoke to Wired.com in Palo Alto, California, about their mission "to get people to give a damn" about biodiversity.

Yazbukey Hand Neckpiece
This was featured prominently in the March issue of "Teen Vogue." Yazbukey is an amazing new jewelry designer you've got to know about. Lots of cartoonish necklaces and pins.
A statement necklace constructed from silver and gold plated chains, with large bullet-like spikes. WOAH BABY!
This is one seriously crazy looking, overpriced ring that I love and can't really explain why. It's a white and black gold cocktail ring with a Tahitian pearl and diamond fringe.Tags: fashion, style, unusual, diamonds, pearls, white gold, rings, one of a kind, ShoAdded 9 Years Ago from Kabiri
