The famed Nürburgring is deep in debt, facing bankruptcy and complete closure
This is a sad, sad report for many automotive enthusiasts who consider the incredible 12.9 mile race course one of the truest tests of a vehicle's full capabilities anywhere in the world. While high performance cars are tested on tracks all over the world in an effort to earn bragging rights as being the fastest at that particular track – no course in the world has built a reputation like the Nürburgring. The 12.93 mile Nordschleife course has become the top proving ground for the world's ultimate high performance vehicle and many diehard gearheads dream of tearing around "the Ring" in the supercar of their choice.
However, unless these gearheads can find a way to get to Germany by the end of this year to take their shot at one of the world's most grueling road courses, there is a good chance that it will never happen. The problem is that the Nürburgring business entity is some 13 million Euros (15.82 million USD) in debt and the European Union is not interested in helping after a gigantic loan of 524 million Euros ($638 million USD) a few years back that was reportedly squandered on a roller coaster that was deemed to be unsafe along with a mall that has never garnered the traffic that track management had originally hoped. After questionable usage of the last huge chunk of money from the government, there is seemingly no chance that the local authorities will be quick to hand away taxpayer money to a business that only interests a small percentage of people around the world.
The good news is that the Nürburgring management plans to continue as scheduled through the 2012 season but after that, there is a good chance that the track will be forced into government administered bankruptcy and beyond that – the future of the incredible race course is totally up in the air. The best case scenario is that some uber-wealthy investor who loves high performance vehicles will step up and write a check big enough to get the Ring out of financial troubles but considering that the track seems to be an unprofitable business – the new owners/investors would need to make some changes if they want the track to have a chance of living into the future. Should the Ring be forced into court appointed bankruptcy, the assets of the company could be divided and sold in an effort to repay the outstanding debt.

Fake much?Mature
Alexis, Emily and Katrina stared at the tv set. In her hands, Alexis held the newest copy of Yes! magazine, open on a page taken up by a "Where will you meet your lover?" quiz.
"Do you like to party, a) at home with friends, b) in a club c) not at all or d) wherever the party's at?" She read out as Kat rolled her eyes at Emily.
"Uhh.. at home with friends I guess, if they aren't just sat in the corner reading that is!!" Kat replied, holding her lip-gloss wand about an inch from her lips.
"The most likely place for you to meet your lover is.. Online! Ha, Kat you're gonna meet him on a lame dating site! He'll be some weird computer nerd or something!" Kat grabbed the nearest pillow and threw it square at Alexis's face.
"Oi!" said Alexis grinning as she grabbed the pillow and threw it back at her attacker. "Hey but it would be quite funny if you actually did meet some dude online, if he didn't turn out to be a sixty year old paedo that is!" Alexis giggled.
Kat smirked and pushed the lid of the lip gloss down, screwing it shut. "Right, I'm off, Mum says I've gotta be back in time for Auntie Sheila," she said, screwing her face up as she did.
"Good luck!" shouted Emily and Alexis as Kat left the room, slamming the door behind her. "She's not really annoyed, is she Em?" Alexis cautiously asked.
"Nah, she's just kidding." Suddenly an evil idea dawned upon Emily. "Hey, Ally, lets make her a dating profile thingy!" An evil grin crept across Alexis's face as Emily pulled her laptop out from under her bed.

Mysterion is Born.
The story of how Kenny McCormick became Mysterion.
Mysterion is Born
Nine year old Kenny McCormicklay in his bed, listening to his parents fighting once again. This happened at least once a week; he got used to it after a while, just like his older brother, Kevin, did. 'You get used to it.' Kenny thought. He was dressed only in his underwear, leaving his orange parka in his closet.
Kenny turned around, trying to get into a comfortable position. He could always sleep easier when his parents for some reason. He didn't know why; maybe it was because it gave him a reason to run away into his dreams, to fall asleep and leave his alcoholic parents behind, even if it was for eight short hours. But he couldn't tonight.
Kenny always wanted to run away from his home, go to another home, live in the forest, anywhere, as long as he wasn't with his parents. But he couldn't even if he wanted to. Not for long anyway; Kennycouldrun away, but he would just be back in his bed before the week was over. Kenny was an Immortal; whenever he died, he would wake up in his bed, wearing his same old clothes. He didn't know how he did it, why it happened to him, but he stopped asking.
Even if he could leave, he wouldn't, for one reason and one reason only; Karen. His little sister. He couldn't just leave her to fend for herself in this family; she was too small and fragile to survive in this family by herself. Kenny would try and cheer her up, but nothing he did worked.
He bought her doll a few months back with the money he made when he was doing crazy things; his parents had claimed the rest of the money not long after, which quickly disappeared. He told her that if she was sad, to hold the doll and talk to it. But it didn't help much; he could still hear her crying from behind the thin walls, all because of his parents. This is why he can't sleep tonight; his little sister is crying.
Kenny got up from bed. He couldn't think of anything to help his sister. He leaned against the wall, trying to listen to Karen. He could hear her talking to her doll. He couldn't make out what she was saying. He closed his eyes and concentrated on her voice. He could hear her voice. "Please God, send me a Guardian Angel. Please God, send me a Guardian. Please God, send me a Guardian Angel."
Kenny slowly opened his eyes. He wished God for that, too, when he was her age. But no one came. Kenny stood up, wishing he could do something for his little sister; she was only five years old, she shouldn't be wishing for this.
Kenny got on his knees and started to pray. "Please God," he whispered. "Send my little sister a guardian angel. She needs it. Please." He began to cry at the last word. He needed to protect, but how? Kenny heard a squeek from his closet. A mouse. He got up and went to stop it from biting holes into his clothes again.
Kenny opened the closet and saw a lone mouse standing on his dresser. He expected it to be hiding. He was about to hit it, when he noticed it looked down to it's right. He felt as if he should follow it's gaze, and so he looked as well. He saw a garbage bag that hadn't been there before. He picked it up and brought it to his bed. A small note was clipped on it. He read it aloud, "For Kenny."
Kenny opened the bag and poured the contents out onto his bed. A dark purple cloak, a pair of grey sweats, dark grey gloves, and a pair of brown boots. Kenny looked at the clothes, trying to figure out who sent them, and why. He recalled his begging God for Karen. He felt as if this was God's doing. But how could this help Karen? Kenny picked up the clothes and knew what he was meant to do with them. He put the clothes on and jumped out the window.
Kenny walked to Karen's window and opened it quietly. He climbed onto windowsill, getting down on one knee. He looked at Karen as she cried quietly into her pillow. He steeled himself. "Don't cry Karen." Kenny spoke with a raspy voice to avoid her identifying him.
Karen bolted up when she heard him speak. She looked at him with fear, not knowing where he came from or why he was there. "W-W-Where did you c-come from?" She couldn't help but stutter.
Kenny didn't know how to answer her. He said what she was wishing for, and what he truly believed. "I was sent here for you, Karen." Kenny paused. "Your wish came true."
Karen looked at Kenny with an awed expression. "It did?" Karen asked. "You're a Guardian Angel?"
Kenny looked her in the eyes. "No, Karen. I'myourGuardian Angel. I will protect you no matter what. No matter where you are, no matter what you do, I will always protect you. I will always be there."
"Really?" Karen eyes were wide and she had a large smile on her face.
"Yes, Karen." Kenny noticed that their parents had stopped fighting. "Now I want you to get some sleep. You have school tomorrow." With that, Kenny jumped back outside, closing the window as he did so. He ran as fast as he could to his window and jumped in. He heard Karen open her window, trying to find him, but she was too late.
Kenny got undressed, putting his new outfit in his dresser drawer inside his closet, and went back to bed. He found that he fell asleep very easily, with the knowledge that he helped his sister, and could help her from now on. Kenny tried to think of a good name for his alter ego, but couldn't come up with one.
Kenny woke up to his sister jumping on his bed. She told him all about her Guardian Angel appearing out of nowhere and telling her not to cry, and about how cool and mysterious he was.
While Karen played in her room, telling her doll everything about her Guardian Angel, saying how perfect he was, Kenny worked on his costume. He wanted to put his own touch to it. Why should he stop with just protecting Karen; he could protect the whole town. He never liked standing by and watching as people got away with the horrible things that they did. He could do something about it and not fear for his life or that of his families.
He took a spring from an old bb gun and glued a green question mark to it. He then attached the spring to the hood of his cloak. He cut out a green 'M' from an old shirt he got from the salavation army, and sewed it to his sweatshirt. He had finally come up with a name, too. Ironically, he got the name from Karen.

Slamdance festival marks 15th year beside Sundance
By Michelle Nichols
PARK CITY, Utah (Reuters) - Born out of rejections from the Sundance Film Festival, one-time rival Slamdance marked 15 years of competition when it opened late on Thursday, having garnered respect by launching the careers of noted directors Christopher Nolan, Marc Forster and others.
For years Slamdance, which runs alongside Robert Redford's 25-year-old Sundance, fought for attention in the independent film world, but movies like "Mad Hot Ballroom" helped put it on Hollywood's map.
Now, audiences and studio executives on their yearly trek to Park City, Utah, also flock to its venues looking for fresh talent.
This year, it also has garnered celebrity power with films starring "Lord of the Rings'" Dominic Monaghan, TV stars Simon Baker and Mark Harmon and Matthew Lillard of "Scooby Doo."
Slamdance president Peter Baxter told Reuters that back in the 1990s, he and the festival's three other co-founders "were all rejected by Sundance."
"At the time Sundance was beginning to show films not only made with studio money, but by producers that had deals with studios," he said. "It had grown to the point where we felt it couldn't accommodate all of the talent coming through."
Forster, director of "Quantum of Solace" and "The Kite Runner," has credited Slamdance with boosting his career after his "Loungers" won its audience award in 1995. Nolan, whose "The Dark Knight" has grossed $1 billion worldwide, screened his first feature "Following" at Slamdance in 1998.
The 2009 Slamdance will screen about 100 films -- 20 of which will be in narrative and documentary feature competitions. These entries do not have U.S. distribution and are made by debut feature directors for under $1 million each. Continued...

Vendée Globe sailor Conrad Humphreys makes a return to solo sailing
by Teresa Page on 16 Feb 2011
Conrad Humphreys Conrad Humphreys Racing - copyright
Vendée Globe sailor, Conrad Humphreys launches a new sailing campaign that will commence with La Solitaire du Figaro. The programme will kick off in 4 weeks time with the first qualification event, La Solo Les Sables Massif Marine, which will start in Port Olona, the home of the Vendée Globe. This will mark a special return for Conrad as his last single-handed race was the Vendée Globe 2005, where he finished seventh almost exactly 6 years ago.
Conrad switched to multi-hull racing after the Vendée Globe and skippered the Extreme 40 'Motorola' in the inaugural Volvo Extreme Series. He has also been a regular competitor in the Archipelago Raid, finishing fourth in 2008 with Ryan Crawford. Offshore, he has kept his weather and tactical knowledge sharp by navigating for ex CYCA Commodore, Matt Allen onboard his yacht 'Ichi Ban', with strong performances in the last four Sydney Hobart races.
In 2007, Conrad led the host city bid on behalf of the City of Plymouth for The Artemis Transat and more recently, created the new mass-participation event, The Blue Mile – Race for the Environment, with leading environmental charity, WWF-UK. The experience gained from managing these large scale social, economic and environmental programmes has led to Conrad's company, Sport Environment expanding to offer a full service solution to sponsors, something that Conrad hopes will give a lot of confidence to potential sponsors looking to move into sailing.
The search is now on to secure a major backer for the 2013-2016 IMOCA 60 campaign and the Vendée Globe. Conrad's programme for the next 18 months has been underwritten by a core family of partners, with the objective that this year's Figaro campaign and next year's Transat will be used to offer new partners the chance to 'test the water' before committing to a global campaign.
La Solitaire du Figaro is the 'unofficial world championship of single-handed offshore racing'. It comprises a multi stage race of four legs encompassing the English Channel and Irish Sea, covering nearly 1,695 nautical miles. Identical Figaro Bénéteau 2 yachts sailed by some of the world's best sailors make this a marathon on the water combining tactics, strategy and weather analysis with close contact racing.
Conrad has been training with the Artemis Academy since last year and has recently secured Bernard Stamm's Figaro Beneteau which he will base in Plymouth Yacht Haven Marina whilst he prepares and trains for the season ahead. Musto will supply all of Conrad's technical clothing, Hemisphere Rigging Services will provide race support and rigging, Predict Wind will be working with Conrad as official weather forecasting partner and Noakes, Habermehl & Kerr will provide team eyewear. A brand new social media website at www.conradhumphreys.com, designed and created by Crunch Creative will power the communications.
Conrad Humphreys said:
'The Figaro circuit is one of the most important elements of a professional Vendée campaign and I feel ready to take it on. I'm under no illusions just how good the top guys are and I look forward to learning as much from my participation this year as possible.'
'We need to use the next two years to sail fast, learn lots and communicate well. Our objective is to build a long term partnership and a campaign that is capable of winning the IMOCA World Championships and Vendée Globe by 2016.'
Nigel Musto, Musto Clothing said:
'Musto welcome Conrad back to the world of single handed offshore sailing and the tough challenge in the 2011 Solitaire du Figaro.'
Laura Whinney, Plymouth Yacht Haven said:
'We are delighted to welcome Conrad Humphreys back to Plymouth Yacht Haven where our team and berth holders will lend their enthusiasm and support to his campaign. Plymouth has long been recognized as a world-class centre of yachting excellence and has provided a base for Conrad for many of his campaign preparations over the last 10 years. It is great that he is again choosing our marina facilities and sailing waters from which to prepare for the challenges of the Solitaire du Figaro.'
Peter Noakes, Noakes Habermehl & Kerr:
'Noakes Habermehl & Kerr have looked after Conrad Humphreys eyewear since 2004 and we look forward to supporting his vision both on and off the water.'

Msc Flaminia
IUMI: Containership Fires Need Study
Two recent onboard containership fires have fueled concerns from IUMI (International Union of Marine Insurance) over the challenges involved with managing these incidents at sea. "At sea, below-deck fires cannot be fought with water and so CO₂ is used instead to displace the oxygen and extinguish the fire," said Uwe-Peter Schieder, Vice Chairman of IUMI's Loss Prevention Committee. "However, if the fire is burning within a container, the box will protect it from the CO₂ and so this method of fire-fighting is rarely successful. Currently there are no other methods of fighting a containership fire below deck. Even on deck, the crew only have access to hoses and nozzles. They do not have sufficient monitors or foam and so cannot cool the vessel's structure". Specifically, IUMI is concerned that seafarers are being asked to tackle onboard fires with inadequate equipment. The Association highlights the unfortunate incident concerning MSC Flaminia where, sadly, three seafarers lost their lives. The vessel burned for almost six weeks, 70% of the cargo was destroyed and the ship was declared a Constructive Total Loss (CTL). IUMI is well aware of the SOLAS regulations but is calling for further dialogue involving IMO, class, shipbuilders and shipping companies to further improve firefighting capabilities onboard containerships

"A very cute mouse" Sav whispers to me. I can't help but giggle. Spark thanks Sav for changing my thought pattern.
Cute mouse, very cute mouse. I sing in my head. Sav groans and Spark looks really appolagetic. "Seriously though. Coco could fix that in her sleep and it's not doing you no favors" I say putting my hands on my hips best I can in the air.

Will you be a killer?[ Edited ]
Just watched IGN's impression of the game (OMFG,so beautiful! LOVE THE LIGHTING,GRAPCHAIFIWABIFAWIBF)
And in a part of the video the dude says you can beat the game without killing one person (not sure if including infected?). So are you gonna kill or be peaceful? I plan on going on a killing spree than peaceful guru for next gameplay.
Oh btw hi again guys (sorry I quit coming here,I haven't been active on Pasbr/Bioshock forum lately either!)
Misheard it. Only specific parts of the game you can get through without killing but so far no confirmation of getting through the entire game without killing.

Re: Will you be a killer?
In most games I try not to be a killer, not as a thing of mercy or whatever but it makes it so much harder to play. Take Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for example, there are rewards for getting past certain areas without killing anyone, that's what I prefer to do.
I'll be resourceful, keeping my weapons in good condition to upgrade them to their full potential, then using them when neccessary
Re: Will you be a killer?
You can beat the whole game without killing anyone? That sounds odd, like what about the truck ambush section, wouldn't you have to kill the ambushers to progress?

I'm pretty sure this isn't true...
I mean in response to the question back when the E3 demo was first released, they said that there will be times where you have to fight and kill for the sake of the story.
Re: Will you be a killer?
I may just murder everybody. Infected, Hunters, mannequin's everything.

In spite of motherhood, Beyonce Knowles has still got it. The popular R&B artist set the stage on fire with her electrifying performance during the half-time of Super Bowl.
Beyonce, wearing a revealing black leather jacket and miniskirt combination, was surrounded by bursts of fire, smoke and silhouettes as she performed at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The singer called out to the crowd several times during her first songs, 'Love on Top,' 'Crazy in Love,' and 'Baby Boy,' to emphasize that she was singing live.
Beyonce reunited with her band mates from Destiny's Child at the Super Bowl.
Beyonce rolled through four songs before Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, from her former girl group Destiny's Child, ascended through trap doors in the stage to sing hits 'Bootylicious' and 'Independent Woman.'
Earlier, Beyonce admitted she sang along with a pre-recorded track of the national anthem at President Barack Obama's inauguration in January 2013.
The lip-synching controversy threatened to derail the pop singer's crafted comeback after giving birth to her first child with rapper and husband Jay-Z in January 2012.
Beyonce will also premiere her self-directed documentary, 'Life is But a Dream,' on HBO on February 16.
It was the trio's first public performance since 2006. Clad in black leather outfits designed by Rubin Singer, they performed three songs.
More than 100 million television viewers were tuned in to the NFL championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens.
Beyonce performed during the halftime show of the NFL Super Bowl XLVII football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.
Beyonce finished with 'Halo' from her 2008 album 'I Am ... Sasha Fierce.'

Rossi takes Sepang clash penalty to court
The Italian is seeking annulment or reduction of the penalty before Valencia
VALENTINO Rossi has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after receiving a three-point penalty following the Sepang clash with Marc Marquez.
The Italian MotoGP rider was given three penalty points after Race Direction claimed he 'deliberately ran wide in order to force the other rider off line, resulting in contact causing the other rider to crash out of the race'.
A three-point penalty was given as it is against the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Regulations which added to the one-point on his license.
FIM regulations state that four penalty points means the rider must start from the back of the grid.
Rossi's appeal to the CAS states: 'Mr Rossi seeks the annulment of the penalty, or at least a reduction from 3 points to 1.
'Together with his appeal, Mr Rossi has filed an urgent application to stay the execution of the challenged decision in order not to lose his place on the starting grid at the next, and last, event of the season which will be held in Valencia/Spain on 6-8 November 2015.'
The nine-time World Champion is therefore seeking annulment or reduction of the penalty and requests 'stay of execution of the decision in accordance with Article R37 of the Code of Sports-Related Arbitration.'
A decision on Rossi's appeal is expected to be issued no later than 6th November 2015.

About me
Often life can seem overwhelming and we can become paralysed in the face of all of the decisions we have to make on a daily basis to the point that making big decisions to move us forward just become too big to deal with. Sometimes we hold onto self-limiting beliefs which are holding us back from achieving our dreams. Working with a coach helps you to cut through the day to day stuff to focus on the bigger issues.
Maybe you want to get a better work/life balance, maybe you want to get another job, maybe you want to write a book or maybe you just want to declutter your life. Whatever your goals and desires working with a coach can really increase your motivation, get actions taken and make whatever you want happen.
I have over 20 years' experience of working in human resources supporting managers to manage their teams more effectively and helping individuals to achieve their career goals. I was made redundant and felt really overwhelmed by the options - did I go back into a full time job or start to think about alternatives and how would I pay the mortgage if I did - and loads of other issues. I had some coaching and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities open to me and I decided that I really needed to know more so I set off to get my Diploma in coaching and have never looked back!
I am a qualified coach and NLP practitioner and using these techniques I help people to reach their dreams. I work in a number of areas:
- managing stress and anxiety
- managing careers
- developing new techniques for managing relationships
- developing confidence for all aspects of life
- improving work life balance
- managing procrastination
Coaching is about asking the difficult questions to really define what you want from your life and then working with you to develop realistic actions to make it happen. We will also work on any self-limiting beliefs which might be holding you back.
I work clients face to face, over Skype or over the phone - whichever suits you. I typically work with clients for 6 sessions, but this is flexible depending on your needs. I offer evening and weekend appointments on request.

She has also helped me to really understand what it is I want to achieve in life and how I'm going to get it. ?As an HR professional of almost 20 years standing I've worked with a large number of coaches.

hello, on the back of other posts of remaps and specifically bwchiptune, i decided to take the plunge. being that i live in lancashire and there are no agents of help around here, using their flasher unit was the only real choice for now.
so two days ago i ordered the service and arrived two days later (today), all i needed was the software and a how to, which wasn't in my mailbox, one quick message to jason and he called back saying he'd sent it again, i quickly checked and it was there, speedy service indeed.
software downloaded quickly and installed trouble free on laptop with windows 7.
following the instructions carefully read the original file and sent it to jason with some specifics asked for in the instructions.
waited a bit for file to be sent back and then uploaded to the flasher.
less than five minutes later and all is done, no troubles instructions are crystal clear.
only had a bit of a drive but the engine is far more responsive and a little more power is present, as said many time the power is not the biggest factor and you won't be seeing massive movement in that area, but it is perkier than before.
i've only had a little drive so far and ecu is yet to "adapt" but you can feel the difference, not bogging down from 2k-4k like it did before and the extra few revs just help keep it in the powerband on quick shifting a bit better.
was it worth the money?
well only you can answer that, if i drive on the economy and slight increase power map as opposed to the aggressive one then i suspect the fuel savings alone will make your money back fairly quickly. the aggressive map doesn't seem to use any more than the standard map, so in that sense it's a win all round.
i would definitely deal with jason and his company again if i needed some further development as he is so friendly and keen to be open and honest, he only promised improved performance and a smoother power delivery, he never claimed any figures or that it's be like a new car afterwards.
so thumbs up and i will comment further once i have given both maps a bit of a thorough inspection on the road.

Members of an armed far-right militia are attacking Calais migrants in an unprecedented, brutal campaign of violence, according to evidence seen by this newspaper. In a series of incidents in recent weeks, refugees living at the Jungle camp claim to have been targeted by organised thugs – sometimes in uniforms.
The Independent was told of one attack in which young male refugees were taken by van to a field where they were stripped naked and had their hands cuffed behind their back. They were then made to watch as their abductors – a group of unidentified men – beat them individually.
Migrants accuse local French police of failing to protect them from the beatings – and also carrying out their own assaults.
A coalition of NGOs, legal advisers and charities has decried both an increase in incidents of police aggression and the rise in attacks on refugees by groups of civilians, thought to be racist gangs.
The claims are outlined in a report compiled by staff at the camp's legal centre, along with the British charity Care4Calais, which is to be submitted to the state prosecutor. It included 10 testimonies of violence, eight at the hands of police and five by civilian groups.
Many of the accounts are corroborated by medical reports from international humanitarian organisations Médecins sans Frontières and Médecins du Monde. Four videos thought to be included in the report have been seen by The Independent. One shows a 16-year-old Afghan boy whose arm is in a cast saying he was forced into the back of a van and taken to a field where he was beaten by a group of men. His arm and two fingers are broken. A similar account is given by another 16-year-old boy who refers to the unidentified men as "fascists".
Marianne Humbersot, head of mission at the camp's legal centre, said she has about 50 accounts in total which bear striking similarities of violence at the hands of "policemen and a certain civil militia of which we do not know the exact identity".
She said: "We are talking about injuries that are life-threatening. Not just bruises but also stabbing, strangling and beating with metal sticks. These attacks are against men, women and children. Minors. I have the account of a 10-year-old boy who has been subjected to police violence. I have a 13-year-old who was beaten by police – and 10 days before he had his nose broken by 'racists'."

Concerns around these attacks have increased in the past month. The local region came close to electing Front Nationale leader Marie le Pen in the recent elections. But the Care4Calais report forms the most comprehensive evidence of systematic violence against refugees at the hands of suspected right-wing militias.
While there is no suggestion that the police have worked with the group, many have accused them of failing to protect migrants as they hope to soon clear the camp. On Friday, the local police prefecture announced a large area of the camp, home to 800 to 1,000 people, would be bulldozed next week.
For the camp's inhabitants, awareness of far-right groups has been heightened following a hostile political march held in early January that ended in clashes. Many migrants said they know people who have been attacked by these groups. Ali-Muhammad Jumar, 23, from Sudan was one such case. He had a broken finger and a fresh cut above his left eyebrow that he said were the result of being beaten the previous night by police near the Eurotunnel train tracks. "There are racists in Calais who beat people with sticks," he added.
MSF and MDM both confirmed they had heard accounts and issued medical reports that corroborated the testimonies in the report.
"Most of the injuries are head trauma with bruises and face lacerations, some needing stitches," said Marlene Malfaid, MSF medical co-ordinator for the camp. She added that the agency sees about 12 incidents a week of people who have been victims of violence. In the past week alone, they have had a dozen reports, eight regarding police violence and four of "non-police" attacks.
Isabelle Bruand, Nord-Pas-de-Calais regional co-ordinator for MDM, said: "What we see now seeing is targeted violence: groups who are targeting immigrants in the area near the camp for no reason other than simply to beat them. We don't know who these people are. Some people say they are beaten by civilians. Some tell us they are beaten by groups of the CRS [the French riot police] and other policemen.
"These groups of civilians feel organised. In some cases they have weapons and they seem to come with the idea of 'we will go to the camp and find some immigrants to beat up'."

Extra: Léa Gets a Job
(Author Note: Because this is Gorgeous and Mysterious Plus, at the end of each chapter, I'll be slipping in some scenes that will never go in the story, backgrounds, and other cheeky things, along with links to concept drawings. Here, it's the turn of a character I never write from the perspective of, with her first job interview...
http://goldenearthangel.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5jyrq4 )
Léa Gorge attempted to pat down the wispy strands of what she called a fringe as she waited in the entrance-hall of Powell and Co. Publishing. The shapeless block of hair across her eyes would probably have to go if she got the job. Not that Léa would miss it. Her brother had a habit of making fun of the curtain whenever she visited him at Uni. Undergrads! Their societies could be as crazy as a government!
In the shine of glass panelling across the entrance-way, Léa tweaked the rest of her outfit, from the too-long office trousers to the bracelet she wore on her left wrist for good luck.
Was it too much to wear a tie? She tore the accessory from her lapel and smoothed down the cut of the blouse. It clung too much. Léa hopped from one foot to the other. In the distant part of her mind not ultra-focused on what she might well be asked in this interview, Léa was conscious of the sound of stone against heel, and this made her glad, for once, at the fact that there was no one here to see her.
Surely she could not be the only applicant? At twenty, she was probably one of the youngest.
Having identified the sounds of heels as new and not her own, Léa thrust down the loose tie into her handbag and attempted to appear attentive.
A man strode into the lobby, his suit-shirt tight under the pressure of his well-toned torso. By his strides, Léa took him to be Mr. Michells, the man with whom she had managed to secure this interview.
Léa swallowed her nerves.
"Miss Gorge?"
"Yes, that's me. Are you Mr. Michells?" It was barely a squeak, but the deep-voiced man replied to her comment as if nothing had been amiss. He was probably used to the flurry of dizzy interns who came and went.
"I am, please follow me."
With that, Mr. Michells turned and strode off, Léa almost literally at his heels. For every one step he took, she had to take three uneven ones of her own.
Mr. Michells' office was, unusually, one of the first rooms they came to on the ground floor. From her work placements, Léa had been used to traipsing up three or four flights until she reached the office of the 'head honcho'. As Mr. Michells held open the door for her to shuffle through into the grey and white room, Léa knew that she had chosen the right place to apply for her first job. That was, if she actually got a role.
Mr. Michells indicated the chair facing the window, before he, too, settled into the one opposite, a large desk between the two of them.
"Bonjour, Miss Gorge, comment allez-vous?"
Léa blinked. "Je suis très bien, merci. Et vous?"
Mr. Michells chuckled again. "Very well. You might be wondering why I started off addressing you in French." As he spoke, Mr. Michells began to unwrap a cigar and light it. A smoky trail drifted over to Léa's face as they talked.
"I was reading your application, Miss Gorge, and it caught my eye that your degree was in French Language and Literature."
"That's right," Léa said, wondering where he was going with this point.
"Although you have applied for the post of intern, we will have an opening in our Overseas Publishing department by January, if you're prepared to wait that long for a place. The full-time position will be dealing with the translation of manuscripts and of rights. I see that you haven't had much practise with the legal side of the publishing practise, but I can make one of your weekdays a session with the interns and their instructors to get you up to speed there."
"Oh," Léa muttered. She cupped her hands together, as if she were praying about the revelation. It was good, she tried to convince herself. Good.
"I was also impressed by your résumé. Redshire Central is one of the best universities for languages, so I've heard. Second only to OxcoteUniversity. I'm surprised you didn't choose to have your degree there."
"Not everybody gets into Oxcote," Léa pointed out.
"Sorry… I…" Léa shrugged.
"No matter. What do you think? Are you capable of dealing with the intricacies of a full department? It'll be a step up from anything you've done on placement, I notice. I want to make sure that if I hire someone so young, they'll be able to keep up with those in the department with experiment."
Léa's voice trembled, though she wasn't sure if it was through excitement or fear of stuffing up now.
"I-" she cleared her throat. "I think so. I want to be able to help out wherever I can. I assure you that I'm open to any suggestions. My use of language has helped me think of ways to involve myself whatever the case. I- yeah, I hope I'm, umm…able."
"I had hoped you were going to say that, Miss Gorge," Mr. Michells rumbled.
Another snake of smoke slunk from Mr. Michells' cigar, making her eyes water. Léa began to cough. Desperately trying to ignore Mr. Michells' blank face, Léa drew her handbag up onto the table, and rooted through for a tissue. She took no notice of the items she thrust down on the wooden top.
Mr. Michells did. By the time Léa had finished dabbing her sore eyes, he was examining the stretch of black fabric that was Léa's tie.
"Is this a tie?" Mr. Michells stressed the last word, his disgust in Léa's liberal views.
"It is…"
"And what is it doing in your handbag, Miss Gorge?"
He was as stern as a college fellow!
"Well, my father always told me it was wise to carry a spare tie with me. Handy as a rope, scarf, um...flag... You know?"
She ceased her pathetic excuses and, in the seconds of silence that followed, Léa wondered if she'd blown it. And all thanks to her personality!
And then, Mr. Michells stubbed out his cigar.
"I like your spunk, Miss Gorge. You were selected for the exact reason that youth is something my company needs a bit more of around her. These are changing times we live in. You're hired, if you accept."
"I am?"
"Oh, yes."
"Then I do! Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Michells. I…um…"
Mr. Michells took her hand and shook it in his vigorous manner, before gesturing to the door.
Léa's inner child was doing what she herself could not: jumping up and down. She almost squeaked and the thrill of working full-time. Just wait until she told Lucas!

I received emails from two Brummies desperately concerned about the controversy sweeping the second city's schools.
With fears of an Islamist "takeover" of some Birmingham schools by militant school governors, the first correspondent demands "much more clarity in what defines a state school funded by taxation". He wants the bonds of our multicultural society strengthened through education. "No uniforms chosen by one section of society. No public money on religious visits."
The second correspondent, by contrast, positions the controversy within the context of "the change through generations of the composition and governance of schools in inner-city areas which have large Muslim populations". He points to the success of some Birmingham schools as being dependent upon "a recognition of Muslim identity – making the pupils feel more at ease at their first public institution".
The education secretary Michael Gove's response to the controversy has been to send a counter-terrorism tsar into the city, provoking incredulity from the chief constable of West Midlands police. Meanwhile, the city council has appointed former headteacher Ian Kershaw to carry out an alternative inquiry.
If headteachers are being forced out, the curriculum undermined, and funds diverted for dubious ends, then a systemic review is required. But with similar tales of infiltration emerging from Bradford and Manchester, the case throws up a deeper challenge for multicultural schooling, inner-city attainment and community cohesion.
Our starting point has to be that, for better or worse, we are not France. Since 1905, secularism has been embedded in French schools with a clear separation of church and state. English schools, by contrast, are a multilayered, accumulated patchwork of provision drawing on private and public, religious and secular. And just as we don't ban headscarves, nor do we seek to exclude all traces of religiosity from the classroom. The change in recent years has been to place other faith communities – Muslim, Hindu, Sikh – on a similar footing to the Anglican and Catholic traditions.
In some quarters, this has provoked hostility. But when commentators complain – quite rightly – about gender segregation in some Muslim schools or attempts to rewrite exam questions for Orthodox Jewish girls, we should also recall the gender segregation and backward curricula of many Christian schools in the past.
Yet context only takes you so far. We should not hide from the fact that many respected teachers and local politicians in Birmingham think there is evidence of militant entryism in their schools. It begins with radicals seeking to become school governors, then drawing others in as community or parent governors. Once in a majority, these governors seek to divert the leadership, ethos and curriculum of schools towards ends that do not have the interests of their students at heart.
There are both particular and generic failings that have allowed these tensions to develop. Why was a school with such divisions between leadership and governors allowed to convert to academy status? Why did Ofsted rate it "outstanding"? More fundamentally, there is the fear that Gove's fractured schools landscape – with no system of local oversight or accountability – will only increase the risk of such silent takeovers.
The truth is that good schools succeed as a part of their communities. Parents support them, civic-minded residents act as governors, and pupils learn as part of a broader enterprise. And in communities dominated by particular ethnic or faith groups, that predominance will be reflected in the composition of governors.
But to prepare its pupils as future citizens of a multicultural Britain, schools also have a duty to avoid becoming cultural silos. So, we need clear expectations about what a "broad and balanced curriculum" means for contemporary schooling. We need to look again at the government's abandonment of the "community cohesion" criteria and the absence of transparency in the free school system.
The tragedy is that English schools have been remarkably good at the integration of new migrants and providing space for the successful emergence of multiple, modern identities in succeeding generations. But the next chapter for British multiculturalism might well demand that the boundaries of what state schools regard as acceptable in the acceptance of diversity needs sharper focus. Only that will ensure that my two correspondents can each continue to have faith and pride in Birmingham's schools and their service to the city.

Woman dies of apparent overdose three days after arrest for driving under the influence
A 48-year-old Milwaukee woman who was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs in Wauwatosa, died in her home three days later from an apparent overdose.
According to Wauwatosa Police Department reports:
A reckless driver with flat tires was pulled over at 60th and Wright streets at 12:27 p.m. July 29.
She was holding an empty Xanax bottle and stated she was looking for the Milwaukee Police Department to file a theft of prescription medication report. She said her pills were stolen during a house party the prior night.
She was seen striking the curb, getting out of the car and looking at the damage. After sitting in her car for a bit, she drove off again.
She had a prior driving under the influence arrest in April, but her court date was not scheduled until November, so this incident was considered a first offense.
Blood was drawn at Wisconsin Heart Hospital and a drug expert was called in to observe her.
On Aug. 2, Milwaukee police found the woman dead in her home, likely due to an overdose. However, it wasn't known whether the death was accidental or a suicide. The medical examiner is investigating.

Morning Never Came
Tailla awkwardly climbed up a dead, but suitable tree with the Sphere the blue creature had given her. She had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She lulled herself into sleep perched high in a scratchy branch. Why would Gabriel have sent her to such a horrid place?
She dreamed of colors and shapes twisting to life. Flowers bursting through cracked and dry earth. A dead sparrow raising to life, and her brother Gabe alive and well. The dream was quite disturbing. Then again so were her surroundings. She awoke and the sky was still dark. Odd. She thought more time had passed.
Tailla stretched out her limbs and nearly fell when a blue creature with wide, owl like eyes swung from a nearby branch and perched itself onto hers. She could guess from it's attire and bone structure that it was a male. A wide smile spread across his face as he pointed at her branch, where leaves had seemed to have grown in the time she was sleeping. Tailla wiped the hair out of her face. "Yes troll. I see it, it is a curious thing," She said, willing the creature away.
The blue boy shook his head. "You did that."
Tailla let her mind recall the events in her recent dream, all of which dealt with raising death to life. It had to be a coincidence. Communication with the dead was repealing enough. She really didn't want to own up to re-birthing anything, even something as simple as a tree. "No," she whispered. Though she could tell by the look on the boy's face that he wouldn't be convinced otherwise. She begged; "Please don't tell anyone."
The creature nodded, though the expression on his face was not to be trusted.
"And troll before you go tell me; What time is it?"
"It's well after lunch time, petty human. Try sleeping less," the creature offered before sprinting off in the other direction to probably to spread word of her necromancy to his friends, she thought. Tailla pressed her palms against her eyes. If she was lucky, maybe something would come and eat her after all.

There are new warnings about national security risks from CNOOC Ltd.'s proposed acquisition of Calgary-based Nexen Inc., a deal that is widely expected to be approved by the federal government.
Security experts from Canada and the United States on Wednesday insisted that the top echelons in Chinese state-owned companies like CNOOC remain closely allied to leaders of the Communist Party, and operate as policy arms of the Beijing government rather than commercial companies, especially in times of crisis.
"State-owned enterprises have the same marching orders or essentially the same mandate or mission" as China's intelligence services, which is to serve the interests of the party and the state, Ray Boisvert, a former deputy director at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service , told an audience in Ottawa on Wednesday.
He said China remains a "persistent and aggressive" perpetrator of espionage activities that could threaten Canadian interests.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said Ottawa is taking into account security issues as it determines whether the $15.1-billion CNOOC-Nexen deal – which has been approved by shareholders – represents a net benefit to the country at large. Alberta Premier Alison Redford has spoken in favour of such investments, while oil company executives suggest Nexen does not represent a strategically important holding that needs to be protected from foreign takeover.
Ottawa has extended its review of the deal until mid-November while it assesses the benefit to Canada and determines whether the company, which is publicly traded in Hong Kong and New York, operates as a commercial entity. At the same time, Mr. Harper has promised to release a new "framework" that will explain the government's rationale for its decision on the Nexen deal and serve as a guide to other state-owned companies.
At a panel discussion, Mr. Boisvert and Roger Robinson – a former official at the U.S. National Security Council – urged the Harper government to balance Ottawa's eagerness to expand trade and investment ties with China, with a "eyes wide open" approach to security and threats from "authoritarian capitalism."
In its annual report this year, CSIS warned that "certain state-owned enterprises" and private firms with close government ties receive clandestine intelligence support and can represent a threat to Canadian interests. CSIS didn't mention China specifically, but Mr. Boisvert said it was a clear reference to China.
He did not recommend the acquisition be blocked, but rather that Ottawa insist on measures that would mitigate the potential negative impacts of having a state-owned company operating in the oil sands from a country that is looking for control of strategic assets, including oil and gas.
The company showed its political colors during the heightened tensions between Japan and China over territorial claims in the South China Sea, Mr. Boisvert said. CNOOC chairman Wang Yilin said the company's deep-water rigs in disputed territories served as "mobile national territory and a strategic weapon."
In assessing foreign acquisitions by Chinese state-owned enterprises from China, Ottawa should remember that the Communist Party government is the "parent company" that exercises ultimate control, Mr. Robinson said. "It is the longer-term play here that should be carefully looked at," he said.
Gordon Houlden, director of the University of Alberta's China Institue, said his fellow panelists were focused too heavily on security issues, and were missing the bigger picture: Canada needs to engage with a growing Asian economic power – an important source of foreign capital and a growing customer for this country's resource bounty.
Chinese companies typically operate at arm's length from their political masters in Beijing, he said. "They largely behave as profit-seeking entities but not always," he said. "You must engage but do so with eyes wide open."

Cairo University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt
SESSION TYPE: Interesting Topics in ILD
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 02:45 PM - 04:15 PM
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the safety, usefulness and feasibility of lung biopsy by medical thoracoscopy in patients with DPLDs on HRCT chest of unconfirmed diagnosis after evaluation with less invasive investigations.
METHODS: The study included 10 patients with DPLDs of unknown etiology. Medical thoracoscopic lung biopsies were taken and sent for histopathologic examination. Follow up of the patients including chest X-ray for confirmation of lung expansion, observation of the intercostal tube for any complications after the procedure.
RESULTS: Good biopsy specimens were obtained in all patients with average size 0.5 ×0.4 cm. Two patients (20%) had persistent air leak for 5 &7 days then resolved spontaneously. Two patients (20%) had pneumothorax after removal of the intercostal tube and resolved by administration of high flow oxygen, 6 patients (60%) had pain and one patient (10%) had minor bleeding. The duration of the intercostal tube was 3.1 + 2.6 days. There was no infection, no respiratory failure requiring ICU admission and no mortality (30 day post procedure).
CONCLUSIONS: Thoracoscopic lung biopsy by medical thoracoscopy is useful in diagnosis of cases with DPLDs of unknown etiology when lung biopsy is needed for accurate diagnosis.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The procedure is feasible and safe. It carries some complications that are not life threatening and can be minimized by good selection of patients. No need for surgical lung biopsy.
DISCLOSURE: The following authors have nothing to disclose: Mohamed Elnady, Alaa Shalaby, Abdel Rhaman Mohamed
