The proposal is part of broader legislation on protection of communications and personal data in the digital era, an issue which has become more sensitive in the wake of the September 11 attacks on the United States.
The planned law, which still needs the approval of the European Parliament, will forbid direct marketers from sending unsolicited mail without the customer's prior consent throughout the EU.
It will allow business to send e-mails to individuals following a purchase provided that the customer is allowed to opt out of the mailing list at any time, free of charge."EU member states favour a harmonised approach towards opt-in, (except) in cases where there is an existing relationship with a client," European Commission spokesman Per Haugaard told reporters.
Internet users often see their system clogged by unsolicited e-mail - known as spam - sometimes carrying computer viruses or offensive messages.
The agreed text risks being rejected by the European Parliament, which wants EU states to be free to decide whether they want an opt-in or opt-out approach. Direct marketing associations are also in favour of an opt-out approach.Reuse content

Acute Exposure
Definition - What does Acute Exposure mean?
Acute exposure refers to a single exposure (not lasting longer than a day) to a substance(s) that causes severe harm, or even death. This type of exposure differs from chronic exposure, which occurs over a long period of time, and negative health effects are cumulative.
Safeopedia explains Acute Exposure
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides acute exposure levels for many chemicals in the form of acute exposure guideline levels. While acute exposure tends to create immediate health effects, these effects are more likely to be reversible than those associated with chronic exposure to dangerous substances.

"We are not far away."
With MLS on break and the sporting world focused on South Africa, there's no better time to recall Canada's lone trip to a FIFA World Cup and those words above issued by Canadian international and Toronto FC Designated Player Julian de Guzman earlier this week in Toronto.
The 1986 World Cup had 24 teams compete from five different confederations. The tournament sported the likes of the Soviet Union, Northern Ireland and first time qualifier Canada, all competing in the sweltering heat of Mexico.
In the months leading up to the tournament, the Canadians were granted the easiest of three semi-final CONCACAF qualifying groups playing Guatemala and Haiti. After getting through undefeated, they entered the final round of North American qualifying against Honduras and Costa Rica.
With just a single spot up for grabs (Mexico had qualified automatically as host), Canada entered the final day of qualifying level with Honduras. With the winner receiving automatic qualification, the Canadians staged the September qualifier in Newfoundland where temperatures dipped into the 30s. It was enough to rattle their Central American counterparts and secure qualification through a 2-1 win with Igor Vrablic getting the winner in the 61st minute.
It was June 1, 1986, when the Canadians arrived in Leon, Mexico, for their opening game at the World Cup. They were facing a French side that had narrowly slipped into the tournament past the East Germans and Yugoslavia. But, with names like Michel Platini and Yannick Stopyra, the French were heavy favorites to cruise in the opener and easily move past the group stage.
Player accounts described the scene as they bussed to the Estadio Nou Camp, Leon.
"We were told we were going to get battered," starting defender Bob Lenarduzzi recently told reporters.
Sources inside the team insist that Mexican fans lined roads to greet the little known Canadians with signs of disrespect and heckling. Many of them jeered as the Canadian bus inched closer to the stadium and they assumed the French would handle the Canucks with ease.
With the smog filled air approaching 95 degrees, it was a stark difference for a team that eight months prior had played its final qualifying match in balmy St. John's, Newfoundland. Attendance for the 4 p.m. local time first kick was 65,000.
"I won't forget standing in that tunnel," Lenarduzzi told the CBC. "Looking and seeing Platini…they were all players that I had watched, and we were going to play them."
The game kicked off in scorching heat with the Canadians having their fair shake of possession in the French half. Team Canada even came within inches of opening the scoring with a few desperate attempts. With the game scoreless at halftime "it allowed us to walk with our heads held high," Lenarduzzi said.
The French emerged from the locker rooms and controlled long spells in the second 45 minutes, eventually taking hold of the match and netting a winner through Jean-Pierre Papin 10 minutes from full time.
"Everyone said we were going to get hammered," Lenarduzzi said. "We didn't."
It was an unforeseen scoreline that showed the Canadians could compete at the highest level and wouldn't give in to intimidation.
Playing in Group C, Canada would go on to drop its remaining two games to Hungary and the Soviet Union by 2-0 scores, avoiding blowout defeats but failing to tally a goal.
Although very few Canadian reporters made the trip, Canadians were beginning to believe they were set to break into the footballing world. They had qualified for their first-ever World Cup and had conceded just two or fewer goals in each of their three matches.
Little did they know it would be their last appearance at a World Cup finals for three decades and counting.
"Seeing teams like Slovenia, Algeria and North Korea, teams you could almost categorize as being level (with Canada), shows we are not far away," de Guzman said.
However, the fact of the matter is that Canada needs to make the final round of CONCACAF qualifying before it can even think of showing up once again at a World Cup finals.
With nations like the United States and Mexico always expected to coast through qualifying, it will be up to the Canadians to raise their level to that of Honduras and Costa Rica.
Although recent Gold Cup performances would have one believe Canada can compete with anyone in the region, in preparations for World Cup qualifying, Canada still lacks the quality to get results away from home.
The Canadian Soccer Association must get away from playing qualifying matches in cities that are opponent-friendly. Staging a qualifier against Jamaica in Toronto this last time around proved suicidal when about half the stadium was packed with yellow-and-black-clad fans.
The CSA learned that lesson once again when it decided to host Honduras in Montreal — home to the largest Honduran contingency in Canada.
In 1986, Canada strategically lined up each World Cup qualifier in a city in which it would have the majority of the support. Hosting Mexico in Edmonton was an example of that execution, and a 2-2 draw came of it.
However, only 14,000 showed up to that game, which is where another problem resides. For the CSA, very much is still about selling tickets as opposed to getting results. Until they CSA realizes that the venue is a crucial part of getting positive results, Team Canada will continue to struggle in qualifying for the CONCACAF hexagonal.
Do you think Canada is headed in the right direction? What do you think needs to be done for Canada to qualify in 2014?
Share your thoughts below.
um de Guzman is awful. Possibly the worst DP in terms of value (and maybe ability). You can continue to just being an afterthought in CONCACAF Canada and maybe one day you can aspire to crash out of the hexagonals…
Any other players in MLS won a player of the year award for a La Liga club? nope. Only De Guzman
Canada is a looong way off. I dont see them as anywhere close to Slovenia or Algeria, let alone Honduras or T&T. They're outside shots at even making the top 4, and if they make fourth they'd still have to off a Conmebol side in a playoff. Not gonna happen. If they see another WC by 2022 Id be absolutely shocked, barring an unknown raft of golden generation-type teenagers coming through.
Too bad he cant win player of the year for an MLS club though isnt it? Heck, he cant even win domestic midfielder of the year for TFC…
Canada sucks. Maybe the 3mls teams they are about to get will help
Nope maybe 3 decades will help.
ampf mexcity
Can somebody explain why it's a problem that Canada isn't strong in CONCACAF? Why shouldn't Caribbean and Central American countries have a chance to get the third slot? Is SBI posting columns agonizing about the Jamaicans' or Panamanians' chances of getting to the World Cup? It would meant more to nations like that than it would to Canada. What about El Salvador? When will they get their shot?
I don't know how far off they are, but having three MLS teams in Canada will only help their NT, just as it did for the US. I know they aren't going to be dominated by Canadien players, but it will give local talent a place to play and hopefully grow interest in the sport in general. Similar to the US it will take time, but I think we can all see how MLS has helped out NT both with players who ply their trade there and for those who use it as a stepping stone to bigger leagues. Think about it, if Canada had a real chance to be in the World Cup, maybe Owen Hargreaves wouldn't have jumped ship to England. His knees would still be crap, but when he was healthy he alone would have taken them to another level. Not sure about 2014, but I bet by 2018, if MLS is still thriving there, they will be in the run for qualification.
Aaron in StL
Or player of the month..
I personally don't think MLS should have allowed any Canadian teams in the league. The league should focus on growing and bettering the American game, I could care less about any of our neighbors when it comes to soccer.
I believe SBI is posting about it because his site has a focus on American soccer. Canada has three teams in the American made MLS so by association it is relevant.
Bad Coaching. Canada has players good enough to get to the World Cup. I have no idea why Canada continues to find piss poor coaches for the National Team. It's truly mind boggling. I've seen worse teams from a player personnel perspective go to a World Cup.
On paper they look good by CONCACAF standards. The majority of their players playing at a high level in the premiership, the bundesliga, the Eredivisie, Belgium, Denmark, Portugal, Turkey, with a few guys in MLS. They need a good coach more than anything.
Like its called "Canada Corner"….if you wanted to contribute the "Caribbean & CAM Corner" that the 7 of us would read, I'm sure Ives would accept your drivel.
What are you so damn hostile about? It's a good question to ask when you look at the amount of money and the large number of people whom play soccer throughout Canada. Gheesh!!! Hell, soccer isn't the # sport in Jamaica, it's Cricket and for that matter the same in many West Indian countries.
I see your point, but if they have the support and financing to maintain a successful team then it will help the MLS and the US soccer game overall. Rivalries like those being created in the Pacific Northwest and apparently between TFC and the Crew help build the league as well. I mean there is already a natural rivalry between the US and Canada just because we share a border. And for better or worse it is easier to demonize a foreign team rather than a domestic one. I'm a US fan through and through, but that said, long live Montreal strippers, maple syrup, and the hypothetical meeting of the two.
Upon further review, I like where you are coming from (and the potential debauchery of a Canadian roadtrip).
I've never understood the thinking behind "Lets make a $XX,000 by selling out this stadium" when it comes to world cup qualifiers.
From a pure greed perspective I would rather take less or no money for awhile and then watch as the cash comes in when the country makes the world cup.
I don't know if USsoccer loves the sport or they love the money more, but i'm happy they are settling for the boatloads of money down the road.
Kind of like the U.S.
loves montreal
I just went to Montreal for a bachelor party, and im trying to find reasons to go back already. Can't wait for a Red Bulls v Montreal match!!!
Thanks for wasting out time with this BS while we are in the middle of a world cup Kurtis!
Other problems faced by Canada:
– Lack strong sponsors
– Foreign-based players commitment to National Team is ambivalent at times
– Coaching carousel
– BC should contribute substantially to NT; player development suffers because they insist on playing winter soccer
– Best athletes play hockey (losing athletes not unique to Canada, but still a problem)
– CSA is a disaster; needs professional management. Instead a good ole boys' club
– Too much British influence over the entire National and Provincial structure and footy culture

I agree with Tony here. Canada is not even close to being as good as Slovenia or Algeria or even North Korea. I see the Slovenian team as having WAY superior tactics, technical ability and soccer savvy. I saw both of Slovenia's games against Russia and they are a very well organized European team. Algeria is badly organized but athletic and enigmatic making them difficult to beat, too.
Is Canada in the same league with New Zealand or South Africa? Those are the two teams that pop into my head when I think of comparisons at this WC. And considering how bad Honduras looked in their first game it becomes apparent how thin Concacaf really is.
The only time they seemed to have played well this century is in the Gold Cup. It was interesting for them in 2000. They won the Gold Cup and had wins over Mexico and Colombia. Which earned them a trip to the Confederations Cup.
Then they bombed out of World Cup qualifying with 2 goals for and 8 against. Maybe they should play all of their World Cup qualifiers in the US or just pretend every game is the Gold Cup.
In their last 9 games since last summer they were 2-1-1 at the Gold Cup and since then they are 0-1-4.
They have only scored 1 goal in their last 6 national team games.
yeah i went back to check and i realized that most of the candaian teams that are any good have USL american players on them even TFC is majority American
It wont at all. TFC is majority american and I dont see the other 2 coming up being different
You mean the bench is majority american. Barrett and Labrocca are the only ones that regularly play
Canada will make the world cup in 2014 and have tons of talent, its hard when all the players come from different leagues. Once all three MLS teams are established it will only help. De Guzman, de rosario, friend, mckenna, and hutchinson would all make USA and prob. start most games.
I think the US & Mexico are way ahead of any team in CONCACAF, but as the article mentioned, Canada only needs to raise their game to a "Honduras-level" or even El Salvador, just to get to the last round of CONCACAF Qualifying. If they can make it to the last round, then they certainly have a good chance to clip into that last spot if they play well enough. Getting only two points against Mexico, Honduras, and Jamaica in a home & home group in horrible. A country like Canada should be able to get 6 home points, and 3 or 4 away points from this group which would have given them 9 or 10 points where they probably would have advanced.
From the looks of things now, and I'm sorry to say this, but Candada seems like they are falling further and further behind while other teams in the confederations are getting much better. But it's OK, Canada is still the "Brazil" of ice hockey. And the Winter Olympics are their World Cup.
De Rosario is the best player in MLS this year and De Guzman will step it up he just isnt use to playing against avg. players every game he used to defending Real and Barca players who think and move a lot quicker. Also if Owen Hargreaves and Jonathan De Guzman both played for Canada they would have been a much better team.
not really
CONCACAF news is US Soccer news.
That doesn't make any sense. So he's used to Barca and Madrid players, that's why he's rusty on MLS players????? o_0
keep smokin' that joint
Canada has a decent core of quality players, but they are poorly coached, rarely employ good tactics that play to their strengths, and do not have much depth.
The talk of re-organizing the CSA is a start and getting more clubs into MLS helps as well, which will discover and develop more Canadian talent.
Hire a quality coach (most important IMHO someone like Leo Beenhakker who can get alot of little talent), re-organize the notoriously lousy CSA, stop scheduling WCQ home matches in opponent-friendly cities, improve the youth development and Canada should be able to compete for the 3rd and 4th spots along with nations like Costa Rica, Honduras and T&T.
There isn't many nations in CONCACAF that have that have the potential to field decent-quality national sides, but Canada is one of them and the people who do care about Canadian soccer need to push them to the next level.
It would also help Canada if CONCACAF gets another slot for the world cup. Instead of 6 African teams and three/four CONCACAF teams, in the future perhaps, 4/5 CONCACAF teams with 5 african teams would be better. But the success of CONCACAF teams will play a part in this. Other teams besides USA & Mexico have to do something in the World Cup/other international games. IMO, I think Costa Rica is better than several current World Cup teams.
I think it's in Canada's best interest to hire a good coach for the LONG TERM (like a decade) to nurture the federation and build on it.
Kevin Smith
Africa deserves their spots, it's Asia that doesn't. That said, there's probably 10 European teams, who don't make the World Cup, that are better than all but 2 CONCACAF (US + Mex) and 3 Asian (Jap, S. Kor, Aus)
Scott A
I don't think Africa deserves more spots. How do they have more spots than South America when none have gotten to a semi-final and South America has won a bajillion Cups? Everyone seems to have this fixation to see African teams break through
With respect to CONCACAF getting more spots that's not gonna happen. The best we can hope for is the 4th place playoff opponent being from Asia rather than South America.
having owen hargreaves, jonathan de guzman, and asmir begovic would probably help us get there
"it will be up to the Canadians to raise their level to that of Honduras and Costa Rica. "
I dunno. For some reason, that just said it all to me.
Who are the 10 European teams? Could you name them in order? I think that both the US and Mexico could qualify out of Europe. They way qualifying is set up in Europe the good teams never play one another. Instead it becomes who can beat San Marino by 10 goals.
Also the Europeans have NO IDEA how difficult it is to play away in a place like Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, etc. They don't throw urine bags, batteries, and whatever else at opponents in most places in Europe these days and the lights don't randomly go out at the home team's convenience.
I would sign for this right now.
CONMEBOL- 5 or 6*
ASIA- 3 or 4**
AFRICA- 5 or 6*
OCEANA- 1 or 0**
*6th place CONMEBOL plays 6th place Africa for 31st spot.
**4th place Asia plays 1st place Oceana for 32nd spot.

All we need is more WCQ games in Edmonton in February. Take that Central America!
Why did you click on the link and read the entire article if you aren't interested?
Kurtis…thanks for doing the Canada Corner reports.
Brazilian Fan
Just to remind you:
UEFA (Europe)- 13
CONMEBOL (South America) – 4
AFC (Asia) – 4
CAF (Africa) – 5
CONCACAF (North and Central America and Caribbean) – 3
OFC (Oceania) – 0
CAF don't have 6 spots. One is the host nation!!!
Well I agree with some of you. CSA needs to rebuild itself, they need a better coaching staff and the games should be where its better for Canada not for the rival.
I trully believe that TFC, Vancouver and Montreal will help the National team a lot, even with a lot of americans and foreigners in their squad. It's a opportunity to canadian players stay in the country and for another kids be discovered. Plus, FC Edmonton is coming in NASL next year. It will make 4 pro teams then.
There is rumors about Calgary, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Victoria, Hamilton, Quebec City or Regina having NASL teams also. If at least one of them come up by 2012 or 2013, it will be 5 teams (5 academies + 5 cities "living soccer"). How cannot this help the Canada National team?
Canada will be in Brazil by 2014 and not as a tourist. =]
Myles B
I hope so. Most people, regardless of origin here in the Great White North, would prefer to support Les Voyageurs than their ethnic roots. Unfortunately, that's hard when we're only tourists!
BTW, did anyone see the huge "Vancouver" Serbian flag the supporters had during their win over the Germans? Awesome!

and LADY
GAGA are finally preparing a follow-up track to their hit single
The video to their 2010 song promised "To Be Continued" – now the sequel
appears to be on its way.
A few months back Lady Gaga posted a snap of herself wearing earrings with the
word "Ratchet" written on them.
Now Bey has followed it up with a snap of the same item hanging from her ears.
Gaga's previously confirmed that she has a new song called Ratchet, which is
co-written by rapper AZEALIA BANKS.
The track will be their third collaboration. The first was for Beyonce's track
Video Phone in 2009.
JAY-Z's missus is due to sing at American football's Super Bowl next
month so she could debut the song with Lady Gaga then, in front of a monster
TV audience.
Even Gaga can't cause as much trouble at the game as M.I.A.
did last year…

A form of journalism invented by Hunter S. Thompson. It involves the reporter reporting the action as he/she is in it. Elements are part experience and part fiction. The best example of Gonzo journalism is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It was a book from 1971 made into a Johnny Depp movie in 1998.
From fisrt glance, I knew immedialtely that this God-forshaken rest stop was no place for a Gonzo journalist.

Mark Frechette
|Mark Frechette
|Mark Ernest Frechette
December 4, 1947
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
|September 27, 1975 (aged 27)
Norfolk, Massachusetts, USA
Mark Frechette (December 4, 1947 – September 27, 1975)[1] was an American film actor. He is best known for his attempted bank robbery and also the lead role in the 1970 film Zabriskie Point, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, in which he was cast despite his lack of previous acting experience.
He appeared in two other films made in Italy and Yugoslavia, Many Wars Ago (Uomini Contro, 1970) and La grande scrofa negra (1971).
He tithed his $60,000 earnings from Zabriskie Point and other films to Mel Lyman's commune.
Frechette was selected from among thousands during a casting process that lasted nearly a year. He was discovered in Boston by Sally Dennison, Antonioni's assistant and casting director, while in the middle of a violent shouting match at a Charles Street bus-stop. As Antonioni toured the U.S., experiencing culture clash first hand and shooting background footage, Dennison saw Frechette, a carpenter, scream and throw a flowerpot at a woman on the street. Another version centered on Frechette getting in a verbal argument with a person who was on the third floor of an apartment building above him, which is the one referred to in many interviews. "He's twenty and he hates," Dennison told Antonioni. The director immediately cast Frechette, a non-actor, in the film's leading role as an innocent student pursued by the police for the murder of a policeman during a college uprising. Frechette and Antonioni disagreed bitterly about the script during filming.[2]
Despite the film's being a critical and box office failure, Frechette enjoyed a period of considerable publicity, his face gracing the covers of Look magazine [3] in November 1969 and Rolling Stone magazine on March 7, 1970.[4] He also notably appeared on the cover of Sight and Sound, the March 1970 and September 1970 covers of Films and Filming along with several other magazines. He also appeared in the November 1969 issue of Vogue in a fashion shoot. He appeared on The Merv Griffin Show alongside Abbie Hoffman when the latter controversially wore the American flag as a shirt and Frechette got in a fight with another guest, which was later discussed during his appearance on The Dick Cavett Show in April 1970 with his Zabriskie Point co-star Daria Halprin. He and Daria were romantically involved for a time after the film and were often referred to as the first counter-culture couple. He tried to recruit her to join the Fort Hill commune without success.[5]
On August 29, 1973, he and two members of the Fort Hill commune attempted to rob the New England Merchant's Bank in the Fort Hill section of Roxbury, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. One of the trio, Christopher "Herc" Thien, was killed by police. Frechette and Sheldon T. Bernhard were arrested and pleaded guilty. Frechette was sentenced to a term of six to fifteen years in prison.[6] He was confined in the minimum security state prison in Norfolk, Massachusetts.
The Hungarian film director Dezso Magyar wrote in the March edition of the Filmkultura magazine: "[M]y first friend was Mark Frechette, protagonist of the film Zabriskie Point. We wanted to make a film, to adapt a part of 'Sin and Punishment' because we felt that America was like a Dostoyevsky-type world. Mark said that he would get the money in Boston. He phoned me every second day and always assured me that he almost had the money. One day he called me and said that he would bring the 5 million dollars the next day. Great! I was watching TV in the evening when it was announced that ... Mark Frechette attempted to rob a bank at gunpoint ... and was arrested."[7]
Frechette died in prison on September 27, 1975, during an apparent weightlifting accident, when a 150-pound barbell fell on his neck and he suffocated. Prison officials did not suspect foul play. Friends thought he had been suffering from depression.[8] He was 27 years old.
In 2008, Michael Yaroshevsky produced Death Valley Superstar,[9] a film on Frechette.

Theory and TemperMature
"I have a theory." Raoul said quietly.
"You do?" Gabriel frowned Raoul nodded.
"When you were in Paradise, you managed to completely destroy most of the bones in your hands." Raoul said Dawn stopped the growl that built as he saw Raoul's eyes travel over Gabriel. "I taped you up so your fingers were in pairs. Like this." he held up a hand his index and middle fingers were together and his ring and little fingers were paired away from them.
"Why did you do it?" Morgan asked Raoul.
"I was one of the palace healers." The vampyre smiled sadly, "my mother was Elizabeth Raven, the infirmary matron."
"Of course you were" Lou smiled feeling a bit daft that he hadn't recognized the black haired vampyre. "I knew you looked familiar." Raoul smiled at him.
"I look a bit different now." He said "but I looked after Gabriel after you disappeared." He said looking at Dawn.
"I did not disappear" Dawn snarled moving to stand up.
"No, but that's what everyone thought, that's what Gabriel thought. Until he didn't remember anymore." Raoul said glaring at Dawn.
"How did I do it?" Gabriel asked staring at one clawed hand, the other held Dawn's arm tightly.
"I never knew the details, your mother told me you had hit a wall." Raoul said sceptically. "The damage you did you must have actually destroyed the wall."
"It might explain it." Lou said seeing Gabriel's face drain of colour. "Or it might even be just a template for your species that was rejected, like Dawn's spines in his daemon form. None of the other baser daemons have them."
"I don't know" Gabriel muttered "I just know I hate them."
"Why?" Dawn said forgetting his annoyance with Raoul he settled an arm around Gabriel. "I don't hate them."
"Then you have them." Gabriel growled Dawn smiled.
"Hello." Amarantine said as he came over the daemon was looking better, his skin was normal his cheeks a pale pink and he was smiling.
"Hey, Am." Lou said glad of a disruption to the conversation.
"I have some good news." Amarantine said "I am ready to attempt a teleport." Gabriel felt his low mood rise a little.
"Alright." Lou grinned standing up.
"I will try and do it alone but I would like you, Dawn and possibly Gabriel to be there."
"Shall we leave?" Morgan asked.
"I do not wish to risk draining your magick." Amarantine said "not in your condition."
"For gods sake." Morgan snapped "does everyone know now?" she stormed away from them Amarantine stood, stunned, staring after her.
"Hormones, Am" Lou smiled "don't worry."
"I'll see if she's okay." Raoul smiled hurrying after her.

Now what?
So now what do with myself? The cycling can only get better, really, because how can you do worse that ice biking? (unless Geoff's "stream cycling" ever crosses into the mainstream.) The roads today were as dry as I've ever seen them; the trails blissfully hardened by the thaw/refreeze. There's riding in me still, and I've started a quest that I'm not ready to stop. But where do I go from here? The Soggy Bottom 100? The Fireweed 200? The possibilities seem endless.
No. This isn't over.

Surgery in Safe Hands

When a medical patient dies the question put to the treating physician is "what happened?" but when a surgical patient dies the question on everyone's lips is "what did you do?"
All of us regularly travel by air and the reputation of the pilot is never a consideration at the time of booking the flight. The name and publicly acknowledged reputation of the surgeon, however, is the subject of much research by the patient and his relatives prior to any surgery, more so in private and non governmental sector. Patients operated in public and teaching hospitals very often do not have the luxury of choice and may have to take the competence of the surgeon for granted. The reasons for this scrutiny are obvious: operation theatres are considered dangerous places. Surgery carried out on the wrong side and retained foreign bodies grab headlines while more common, and often more dangerous, medication or anaesthetic errors get little attention.
There is an inherent risk of human error in any sphere of activity and it is not always due to lack of knowledge or inadequate technical skills. Surgeons are expected to work error-free in an environment where they perform multiple, concurrent tasks, in a setting of high workload, with minimal organisational support. Studies have suggested that over 50% of harmful effects in patients are preventable [1, 2, 3]. Cost of adverse events, estimated to be greater than £2 billion in the UK alone, goes beyond the direct costs of medical expenses, and includes loss of income, disability benefits etc. [4]. There is also, loss of trust and confidence in health care providers, therefore something certainly needs to be done.
Conventional approach to failure has been "blame and shame". The culture of blame makes errors something to be concealed, rather than studied, understood and prevented. The mantra today is that "Systems failure" and not individual failure is responsible for adverse events. It is inferred that if an organisation has robust systems in place then errors can be prevented or their effects mitigated. Strategic tools like "root cause analysis" and James Reason's Swiss cheese model have proven very useful in analysing the errors [5]. Airlines, as an industry, were the first to look beyond pilot error and made it mandatory to report any mishap within 24 hrs to avoid punitive action. They also recognised the need for training the crew in non-technical skills and introduced the crew resource management (CRM) training [6].
Susceptibility to error is an attribute that the medical profession rarely acknowledges and this denial is ingrained in us from medical school and residency. This attitude of personal invulnerability to stress and fatigue has been studied across professions. Consultant surgeons (70%) are more likely to deny the effect of fatigue on performance than anaesthetists (40%) or pilots (26%) [7].
A zero error state is impossible to achieve but there is a considerable room for improvement. In over 234 million surgeries performed annually worldwide, major complications occur in 3–17%, of which over 50% are avoidable [8]. The incidence of retained sponges or foreign bodies has been estimated to be between 1 in 8,801 to 1 in 18, 260 operations [9]. Most of us believe that it will "never happen to me" but 25% of surgeons are likely to encounter this event at least once or twice in his or her career and a teaching hospital may have to deal with 5–10 such cases annually. The cost to the patient, the hospital and the surgeon can be significant.
Where do we make a start to reduce errors? Standard operating procedures (SOPs) have existed for decades and are rarely updated or adhered to fastidiously. Training surgical teams in non-technical skills, communication, briefing and debriefing skills, as well empowering them to be bold so as to raise the red flag or speak up when they see a potential incident or adverse event, are some of the measures that are advocated. Non-technical skills are defined as the cognitive skills (situational awareness, decision making) and social skills (leadership, team work and co-operation) possessed by individuals and demonstrated by a team [4].
WHO recognising the magnitude of the problem, both in developed and developing countries and took up the global patient safety challenge of "safe surgery saves lives" in 2008. One of its initiatives is to propagate the use of surgical safety checklist. The universal adoption of this checklist aims to make operations safer everywhere and anywhere in the world. The 19-item checklist addresses safety issues at three critical points. The first before induction of anaesthesia called the "sign in", then the "time out" before the skin incision and finally the "sign out" after the procedure but before the patient leaves the table. This is an initiative that we all need to support and adopt as it has been shown to be beneficial in reducing adverse events among diverse populations of varied economic circumstances globally [10, 11]. In a country like India where surgical treatment is provided in most diverse environments, from the five star corporate hospitals to centres in rural areas with bare essential facilities, a checklist will ensure basic standardisation of care in the peri-operative period and improve outcomes.
Adaptation of structured checklists, far from being restrictive, standardises human behaviour, places less reliance on memory, improves consistency and by verbalizing safety brings about a change in the behaviour of a team. They have been proven to reduce communication errors. Whether the improvement is due to "Hawthorne effect" or an actual change in behaviour, only time will tell. What needs also to be remembered is that a checklist is no substitute for personal vigilance. It should not lead to complacency; errors have been known to occur inspite of checklists. In 88% of cases of retained swabs the swab count at the end of the operation was reported as correct [9].
We cannot forever hide under the guise that clinical decision making, is different, complex and ambiguous. There is need for a change in this culture. For too long, patient safety has taken a backseat. It is time that our policies become patient centred. A pilot, regardless of the number of hours of flying under his belt, unlike a surgeon or a physician, uses a checklist religiously because any error can be fatal for him and his passengers. There is a need to promote effective team working, develop organisational and personal leadership skills by introducing formal training in patient safety procedures during medical school and surgical residency. In this, the Association of surgeons of India needs to take up the lead and be seen to make surgery safe for everyone anywhere in India.

Kevin's Secret To End All Secrets
Original Author: Mistress Elsha Hawk
Elsha ran without looking back after firing her warning shots. She heard the troll roar and the ficleteers scream. She didn't want to know what was going on up there.
Since the terrain was rocky and the sun was right in her eyes, so she didn't realize that what she thought was a shadow of a rock, was really a hole. She screamed as she descended.
She landed on her right foot, spraining her ankle. She howled with pain, and was so noisy she never heard the approach of the man until he spoke.
"Are you the prophesied one?" a low, husky, and sad voice asked her.
"Who are you?" Elsha asked through tears.
"WHAT?! Do you have any idea what is going on out there? And aren't you supposed to be dead!?"
"I had my reasons for staying alive, and hidden. And I'm sorry it has come to this, but it was supposed to be this way. We can make it all go away. Do you have THE book?"
"I have THE ERASER ."
"You don't mean…"
"But where will we go, what will happen to us?"

Well, you do have to eat a humungous amount of Lettuce or Carrot for them to poison you, but they are poisonous.
So is water in massive doses.
But then so are Lettuce and Carrots and green potatoes.
Campanula of some description.
Well I ain't dead yet! I think.
One of the few genus of which I have no literature.
Could be, now that I have seen the leaves. Not that I can find any Potentillas exactly like that either.
All to do with the particle size. Soft sand has smaller, more rounded particles so it sticks together. Sharp sand has larger more angular particles so it falls apart.
Rub it between your fingers, sharp sand feels gritty. Soft sand will make a ball when squeezed.
Sharp sand is what you need for adding to soil.
First is a Poppy of some description, but which one????
The shrub is Spiraea, not sure of the species, but bumalda is a possibility.
As you surmise, the first one is Alchemilla mollis. Dead head it before it seeds all over the place. I just take shears and cut it all off at a few inches high. It regrows.
The second is Hypericum perforatum possibly, but defo a Hypericum
We have a lot of varieties of Aconitum in the garden from pure white through blue to yellow. They are no more poisonous than, as Nutculet says, half the other plants in the garden. I spent half an hour this morning removing seed heads from one, no gloves and lots of scratches on the hands. My heart is still beating at the same rate as it normally does. My wife will let you know if I die!

History of North Fork Valley in New Local Book
Local authors Kathy Addams McKee and Claudia Sutliff King team up to tell story of this Colorado Valley through photographs.
Settlers came to the North Fork Valley after the Ute Indians departed from the area in September 1881. The fertile valley was surrounded by rugged mountains to the east, the majestic Grand Mesa to the north, the bleak "dobie" desert, and the meandering North Fork River.
Arriving with just enough provisions to get by, the new settlers brought fruit trees, developed their water sources, and discovered coal, and soon, the arrival of the train made the possibilities of the valley a reality. Working together, the settlers founded the main communities of Hotchkiss, Paonia, and Crawford. Today, coal is the number one industry, wineries are abundant, artists love to display their talents, and it is a great place to live.
Highlights of North Fork Valley:
• Photographs in the book are from three different historical societies and nine private collections.
• Oral histories, photo albums, glass plate photographs, newspaper research, family histories, and interviews were some of the facets used to compile the book.
• Proceeds from the sale of his book will help support the Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Museum, which is a non-profit, volunteer-run, local museum.
• There are six chapters in the book which cover people, towns, businesses, organizations, coal towns and mines, fruit orchards, ranching and local landmarks.
Kathy Addams McKee is a fourth-generation native of the valley. After researching her ancestry, she became interested in local history and joined the Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Society.
Claudia Sutliff King is a lifelong resident of Paonia and a member of the North Fork Historical Society. She enjoys researching and writing local history. Her father rescued glass-plate negatives of the town that were destined for the dump. Fruit, coal, agriculture, and the people will tell the valley's story.

"The Gods need a hero"
Film Synopsis:
In this epic tale of vengeance and destiny, power-mad King Hyperion (Rourke) threatens to destroy all of humanity on his maniacal quest to obtain the ultimate weapon - the legendary Epirus Bow that gives the power to unleash war on both Heaven and Earth. But Theseus (Cavill), a heroic young villager chosen by the gods, rises up to stop Hyperion's brutal rampage. With supernatural help from the beautiful oracle Phaedra (Pinto), Theseus embraces his destiny and leads a fierce band of warriors in a desperate fight for the future of mankind.
My Take:
I have been a fan of Tarsem since reviewing The Fall on Blu-ray back in 2008. His penchant for visual storytelling is superb and in that regard Immortals has something to offer. The screenplay consists of a contemporary Greek Mythology tale spun against elements of love, hate, retribution and destiny. Neither the characters or story are developed enough to be substantial but what keeps interest going is the invigorating visuals and moderately diverting action. In the end I enjoyed Immortals for what it is but those looking for an engaging balance of action drama and visceral storytelling will be disappointed. My advice is to go in with low expectations, sit back and enjoy Tarsem's visually arresting artistry.
Parental Guide:
The rating is for sequences of strong bloody violence, brief nudity and a scene of sexuality.

(Each rating is worth 4 points with a max of 5 per category)
Immortals 3D comes to Blu-ray Disc from 20th Century Fox HE featuring 1080p MVC encoded video and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 4.1 Mbps.
This film wasn't shot natively in 3D but was converted in post production. The film was largely shot against green screens and the reproduction of the digital effects and wide angle background elements translates positively here. Depth is appreciable as evidenced by separation of objects and/or people layered in the foreground/background which creates a visual sense of virtual space. High definition dimensionality and apparent resolution is rarely questionable in close ups and brightly lit exterior sequences (of which there are few) but it varies some in the limited lighting that comprises much of the film. Comparing white/black levels, color and skin tone reproduction to the 2D presentation I found them to essentially be identical. There is a distinct lack of 3D effects that transcend the boundaries of the screen which makes for a somewhat less involving experience especially during the action based segments. I will say that I didn't find that this detracted from my enjoyment of the overall presentation which like the 2D version looks terrific on Blu-ray. I didn't notice any distracting instances of crosstalk or other video related anomalies. The end result is a satisfying but unremarkable 3D video presentation.
This 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is fairly aggressive and features an active surround mix that has extended dynamic range that positively renders the bombastic nature of the elements in the recording. The action based sequences transform the listening area into a three dimensional sound field filled via immersive surround activity that mates perfectly with the events unfolding onscreen. Low frequency effects produce deep bass that rumbles with tactile authority as it pressurizes the room. Dialogue is reproduced with lucid expression and exacting clarity that produced just the slightest hint of sibilance in the upper registers. This is a wonderfully involving and dynamically rewarding sound design that features high level sonic detail, superb directional correlation and rhythmically charged bass extension. My advice is to crank this one up, sit back and enjoy.
2D Video Quality:
** Refer to my review of the standard Blu-ray version. You can view it here: Immortals 2D Review
Bonus Features:
Final Thoughts:
Immortals is a contemporary Greek Mythology tale spun against elements of love, hate, retribution and destiny. I didn't find much depth in its characters or story but found its beautifully crafted visuals and slick production to be worthwhile. It comes to Blu-ray Disc from 20th Century Fox in this three disc 3D offering that offers a satisfying but unremarkable 3D viewing experience that retains the terrific elements found in its excellent 2D high definition video (and audio) presentation. The supplemental material offers a glimpse behind the scenes as well as the inclusion of several alternate takes and a graphic novel that are worth a look if you like the film. This isn't great cinema but has found its way into my collection based strictly on the merit of its high quality presentation. Give it a rent and see for yourself.

I picked this up.. I enjoyed it, wasn't great as far as story telling goes...but the visuals were a treat. Watching the ending credits...you can certainly tell a lot of work went into crafting the sets . King P spot on as always !
It's a sad day when we go to the movies not for the story, but for the visuals.
I found the 3D lacking on this particular film. It's all about the visuals. Tarsem is all style over substance with the exception of The Fall. The Fall had a great story along with the incredible visuals!
Dang Ralph 3 reviews! Good job!

text: 9 April 2001 I still need the neighbourhood Sign up for our weekly email * Now that community has moved, in Richard Reeves's words, "from the neighbourhood into the office" ("We bowl alone, but work together", 2 April), what happens to those not of working age or not in paid employment? Perhaps they should be reclassified as displaced people. From experience, I know that the office offers a ready-made community based on shared career interests, age range and social status; and now that (some) work has become more fun than fun, it is not surprising that people find the office more congenial than the neighbourhood, where forming relationships can demand more effort and commitment. But as a parent working freelance, with a partner frequently travelling for work, I know which community is standing by ready to help when I need it: the boring old neighbourhood. But at least I now know what to tell my children when faced with the closure of their scout troops and youth clubs: get a job.

text: GREENBELT, Md., Jan. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The public is invited to a free event in January to experience "Finding the Slippery Slope: Detecting Landslides from Space," by Dalia Kirschbaum, research physical scientist in hydrological science at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Md. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) The talk is part of the Gerald Soffen Lecture Series and will be held at the Goddard Visitor Center on Wed., Jan. 9, 2013, at 7 p.m. EST (doors will open at 6:45 p.m.). The free talk is about one hour and will end with a question and answer session. Registration is requested online at: http://tinyurl.com/8uafmrl. Pre-registration will be open until Jan. 7, 2013. In just two days in August 2010, more than 2,000 people died from an onslaught of mud and debris that inundated their villages in rural India and China. Every year landslides kill thousands of people due to intense thunderstorms, hurricanes and monsoons, yet no operational landslide prediction system exists for these hazards. This talk will explore the muddy issue of using satellite data to characterize and predict rainfall-triggered landslide hazard and risk on Earth's surface. Through merging topography data and satellite rainfall information, this research has developed new techniques to estimate where and when landslides may happen globally. Building upon the existing Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and upcoming Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, Kirschbaum will describe how we can link rainfall patterns we observe at the global scale to what we experience in our own back yards. With an immense database of NASA Earth science data at our fingertips, we can piece together satellite information to complete the puzzle in better understanding landslides and their impacts worldwide.

Wet stirred media milling has proven to be a robust process for producing nanoparticle suspensions of poorly water-soluble drugs. As the process is expensive and energy-intensive, it is important to study the breakage kinetics, which determines the cycle time and production rate for a desired fineness. Although the impact of process parameters on the properties of final product suspensions has been investigated, scant information is available regarding their impact on the breakage kinetics. Here, we elucidate the impact of stirrer speed, bead concentration, and drug loading on the breakage kinetics via a microhydrodynamic model for the bead–bead collisions. Suspensions of griseofulvin, a model poorly water-soluble drug, were prepared in the presence of two stabilizers: hydroxypropyl cellulose and sodium dodecyl sulfate. Static light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and rheometry were used to characterize them. Various microhydrodynamic parameters including a newly defined milling intensity factor was calculated. An increase in either the stirrer speed or the bead concentration led to an increase in the specific energy and the milling intensity factor, consequently faster breakage. On the other hand, an increase in the drug loading led to a decrease in these parameters and consequently slower breakage. While all microhydrodynamic parameters provided significant physical insight, only the milling intensity factor was capable of explaining the influence of all parameters directly through its strong correlation with the process time constant. Besides guiding process optimization, the analysis suggests preparation of a single highly drug-loaded batch (20% or higher) instead of multiple dilute batches. The process methodology developed presents an opportunity for formulators/engineers to design an intensified wet-milling process for production of sub-100 nm drug particles with reduced cycle time and acceptable media contamination.
