The 79-year-old nun's condition TERESA had stabilized and was improving, however, said Dr. A. Bardhan. He refused to give further details. The official All-India Radio reported she was alert and was visited briefly by the governor of West Bengal state. Nuns at the Missionaires of Charity, which Mother Teresa founded nearly 40 years ago, said she was progressing well. "Her heart is much better and her temperature is practically normal," said one nun, speaking on condition of anonymity.Measles Up Dramatically ATLANTA (AP) — More measles cases have been reported in the United States already this year than in any since 1980, as a decline in the childhood disease has come to an abrupt halt. The national Centers for Disease Control, in its weekly report Thursday, said 10,115 cases of measles had been reported through last week. That's nearly five times the 2,170 cases reported at the same time last year and is the highest total since 1980's 13,430. Federal health officials coincidentally issued their final measles report for 1988 on Thursday, showing that the disease decreased by 7 percent last year, to 3,411. The Atlanta-based CDC said more than 90 measles outbreaks have been reported this year, mostly at colleges and universities. However, one outbreak among unvaccinated preschoolers in Houston struck more than 1,700. By The Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon — The wife of missing Briton Jack Mann, a World War II fighter pilot, said today she had been told he died and that she believed the report to be true. Mann, 75, disappeared May 12 as he drove to a bank in Syrian-policed Moslem west Beirut. None of Lebanon's kidnap groups has specifically identified him as a hostage. But a previously unknown faction, the Cells of Armed Struggle, claimed that it kidnapped an unidentified Briton in Beirut the day Mann disappeared. It demanded the release of Arabs jailed in Britain for the 1987 killing of Palestin-Reactors To Soon Come Alive By BUDDY WALLER Staff Writer Savannah River Site's three idled nuclear reactors will restart late next year and in 1991, U.S. Secretary of Energy James D. Watkins announced Thursday. Watkins approved a plan that would have K-Reactor back in operation sometime during the last three months of next year. L and P reactors would come back on line at three-month intervals after that. Moro SRS Stories .W.., Pag- AA K, L and P reactors, all built and started during the 1950s, were shut down last year for management and equipment improvements. "There will certainly be a lot of challenges" in meeting the restart schedule, said Dean Hoffman, a spokesman for Westinghouse Savannah River Co., the operating contractor at SRS. Hoffman added, though, that Westinghouse believes "very strongly" that it can meet the schedule, which calls for K-Reactor to begin low-power tests in the third quarter of next year. He said Westinghouse has "dedicated the entire management team to the concept of bringing (the SRS units) up to the standards of commercial nuclear reactors." Hoffman echoed J.L. Gallagher, the Westinghouse manager in charge of the reactor restart program, who said Wednesday that safety will be the top priority in getting the reactors back in operation. (See REACTORS, Page 6A) ian cartoonist Ali Naji al-Adhami. But Scotland Yard said no arrests had been made in that slaying. There has been no word since then about Mann's whereabouts. His wife, Sunny, said she received a telephone call Monday from an unidentified man who told her: "I have bad news about your husband." She said she later met the man at a shop in west Beirut's Hamra commercial thoroughfare and "he told me that Jack is dead. "I waited, but there was no news about Jack on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday," Mrs. Mann told reporters at her west Beirut apartment. "I don't know. There's no proof that he's dead at the moment," she said. But she noted that the report of her husband's alleged death "seems correct." Mrs. Mann refused to answer any more questions. A British Embassy spokeswoman, who asked that her name was not used, said the embassy "has no information at all about the reported death of Mr. Mann. " "We're trying to contact Mrs. Mann to find out what she knows, but we haven't been able to talk to her yet," she said. The Manns lived in Beirut for 43 years. Mann worked as a pilot with Lebanon's national airline, Middle East Arlines, for more than 20 years before retiring to manage a bar in Beirut. He is one of 16 Westerners missing in Lebanon. Most are held hostage by pro-Iranian Shiite Moslem militants. The other Westerners are eight Americans, three Britons, two West Germans, an Italian and an Irishman. The longest held hostage is American journalist Terry Anderson, Chief Middle East Correspondent for The Associated Press. He was kindapped March 16,1985. The last foreign hostage to have died in Lebanon was U.S. Marine Lt. Col. William R. Higgins, who was abducted Feb. 17,1988, while on U.N. duty in Lebanon. The pro-Iranian Organization of the Oppressed on Earth claimed July 31 it hanged him in retaliation for Israel's abduction of a Shiite Moslem cleric.Fuel Facility To Close By BUDDY WALLER Staff Writer Savannah River Site's Fuel Materials Facility will close, the U.S. Department of Energy announced Thursday, but its 600 employees will be offered other jobs at SRS. FMF is one of two U.S. facilities producing fuel for the Navy's nude-ar-powered ships. DOE said the de- / mand for that fuel does not justify / operating both production sites. The other fuel supplier is Nuclear Fuel Services Inc., a private company in Erwin, Tenn. Dean Hoffman, a spokesman for Westinghouse Savannah River Co., SRS's operating contractor, said Thursday, "We fully expect to move all permanently-employed (FMF) workers to other areas at SRS." He noted that these workers are highly valued for their experience and training. Hoffman said the decision to shut FMS "was not a big surprise to Westinghouse." In cooperation with DOE. Westinghouse will phase out production at FMS. DOE cited four factors in deciding to close FMS: ✓ "A reduction in the Navy's pro* jected nuclear shipbuilding program ✓ "Improved technology in naval reactor core design and manufacturing, which permits reactor cores to last longer, thus reducing the need for refuelings ✓ "Improved manufacturing techniques at the reactor core suppliers, which reduce the amount of fuel required to build a core ✓ "AU naval fuel material production can be met by NFS — the only manufacturer qualified to make aU types of fuel required by the Navy."

From a cramped classroom in an Aiken County learning lab to the executive offices of the governor's offices in Columbia, South Carolina government, business and education officials are racing against an economic clock in an effort to improve the state's woeful position in national literacy. At stake are the ripe plums — new plants and new jobs — that will be generated in the 21st Century by sophisticated industries using lasers, computers, robots and other marvels of a new age. "We have less than a decade to do something about illiteracy before it severely hampers our ability to be economically competitive in the next century," said Tucker Eskew, press secretary to Gov. Carroll A. Campbell. "The governor believes until we can successfully address the adult literacy problems we have in the work place, we will be in danger of being left behind in the acquisition of new high tech industries." Series Staff Graphic by Melissa Culp Eskew said those fears are what prompted the governor to begin in early 1988 a statewide program called the Work Force Inititative. The initiative brings together state and local educators, volunteer tutors and industries with one goal — (See OFFICIALS, Page6A) BOGOTA, Colombia — President Virgi-lio Barco was dealt a setback in his war on drugs when public outrage forced him to back off from imposing military rule on two cities believed to be strongholds of cocaine traffickers. Barco replaced the mayors of the cities with military officers on Thursday but rescinded the orders in the face of charges the action was unconstitutional and anti-democratic. One person was killed and at least seven others were injured in violence nationwide, a day after an alleged money launderer was extradited to the United States. In Medellin, headquarters of the powerful Medellin cocaine carte!, two policemen were slightly injured when bombs placed under a table destroyed a fast-food restaurant in a busy pedestrian mall. Classes at the National University of Bogota were suspended for the day after skirmishes broke out during a demonstration by about 500 students protesting U.S. aid to help Colombia fight its war on drugs. The students shouted "Gringos go home" and burned an American flag. Groups of youths with white hoods on their heads flung firecrackers at police and two students were injured in scuffles. Also in the capital, gunmen in a speeding car killed cattle rancher Jaime Castillo Franco and wounded his driver. Flying glass injured two bystanders, a woman and her daughter. It was not known if the slaying was related to the government's anti-drug war, which began Aug. 18 when assassins believed to be paid by the cocaine traffickers killed the front-running presidential candidate, Sen. Luis Carlos Galan, a strong foe of drug dealing. Under emergency measures imposed by Barco, authorities have seized millions of dollars in real estate and other property believed to belong to the drug lords. TTie president also revived Colombia's extradition treaty with the United States, where many of the leading traffickers face charges. The first extradition took place on Wednesday when Eduardo Martinez Romero, an economist alleged to be the money launderer for the Medellin drug cartel, was flown to Atlanta. He will be tried on charges of laundering $27 million worth of illicit cocaine cash. A Justice Department spokesman in Washington said Thursday that U.S. attorneys are preparing extradition requests for the 12 most-wanted Colombian drug traffickers. Although the crackdown is believed to have practically paralyzed cocaine production, there is fear of more bombing.*. ;

Norwich - The controversial plan to move St. Vincent de Paul Place soup kitchen to St. Joseph School won't be the only issue on the table Tuesday when the Commission on the City Plan meets to discuss a busy agenda.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall.
The relocation of the soup kitchen has drawn full-house crowds to two public hearing sessions in October and November, with supporters arguing that the operation is part of the Diocese of Norwich's religious ministries and neighbors countering that the temporary move already has disrupted the residential neighborhood.
The soup kitchen was forced to find a new home after structural repairs closed the former location at the former city train station behind Main Street. The vacant St. Joseph School at the corner of Cliff Street and Clairmont Avenue already was on a list of sites being considered for a possible permanent move, and the facility received a temporary permit in July to relocate.
Neighbors say the experience has been a nightmare for them, with patrons trespassing on their properties, littering and allegedly swearing back at property owners in response to requests to move.
The commission closed the hearing last month, but members were not then ready to vote, given the thick file of submitted testimony and supporting documents. The commission has 65 days to vote on the special permit application, which could carry into mid-January if members still feel they need more time after Tuesday's discussion.
Among the issues raised during the hearing is the question whether the commission even has the authority to rule in the matter. Diocese attorney Timothy Bates cited past court cases which ruled that such facilities are part of the church's mission and allowed on church properties.
Zoning attorney Michael Zizka, hired by the city t o advise the commission on the controversial application, told the panel it does have the authority to regulate the activity.
The commission will also open two public hearings on special permit applications to expand existing businesses.
Thayer's Marine & RV at the corner of Falls Avenue and West Main Street at Norwich Harbor would like to add hunting and camping equipment sales to its long-established fishing, tackle and boat sales operation.
Retail manager Zachary Tarner said winter is traditionally "an absolutely slow" season for the store, and the special permit request is an effort to make it a year-round operation by adding hunting and camping to the mix. He said if approved, the move would concentrate on hunting equipment, such as rifles, camouflage clothing and related gear.
The highly visible retail windows facing West Main Street likely would show tents and camouflage hunting gear during the winter.
The store needs a special permit because the expansion does not constitute a water-dependent business use in the harbor zoning district, Director of Planning and Development Peter Davis said.
Tarner said if the permit is approved, Thayer's would look to renovate the building to expand retail uses into the upper floors of the four-story historic brick building.
That would require an elevator and other changes. He said the expanded retail operation also would add year-round jobs to the city.
Computech Transmissions at 200 West Main St. also hopes to win special permit approval Tuesday for a retail expansion. The auto repair business received its initial permit in 1985, but that specifically prohibited automobile sales at the property.
Adding auto sales requires a special permit with a public hearing, Davis said.

Management implications of conservation tillage and poultry litter use for Southern Piedmont USA cropping systems

Conservation tillage and judicious use of animal manures as fertilizers can make significant contributions for sustainable food production in the twenty-first century. Identifying and understanding the many interactions occurring within agricultural systems is fundamental for accomplishing this feat. This paper synthesizes 14 years of research results from a study that began in the early 1990s in which researchers from USDA-ARS and the University of Georgia investigated cropping system influences on nutrient management under natural rainfall. Increases in C and N with no-till resulted in improved soil structure that increased infiltration rate and soil water availability. Biological activity as indicated by earthworms was greater with no-till and poultry litter (PL). In all but the very driest year, yields of cotton and corn increased on average 10–27% with no-till and 32–42% with combination of no-till and PL. On the other hand soil nutrient accumulation, particularly P and Zn from long-term use of poultry litter in corn production, reached excessive levels and could present environmental risks. Drainage increased in no-till raising the risk of leaching of nutrients into the soil profile. However, runoff decreased in no-till and the presence of a rye cover crop during the winter reduced the leaching losses of N compared to no cover crop. During cotton production under relative drought, no-till and poultry litter led to somewhat elevated dissolved phosphorus concentration in runoff, and fluometuron was detected in runoff and drainage while pendimethalin was not. Fecal indicator bacteria (Escherichia coli and fecal enterococci), and the hormones estradiol and testosterone were observed in drainage and runoff but concentrations were similar across all treatments. By conducting the study for an extended period under natural environmental conditions, we were able to highlight real risks and potentials of the contrasting cropping systems. While 6 out of 14 years of relative drought might have limited the water quality response of treatments, such droughts are common features of the weather pattern in the region. Even then, use of no-till as the predominant tillage system was supported by improved yields. Fertilizer management, especially crop N need-based use of PL, requires closer monitoring to insure that production advantages of no-till and poultry litter are not offset by concerns with environmental risks. Long-term research requires sustained resource inputs to answer critical questions of environmental risk and emerging unknown issues.

When I Woke UpMature
We walked back through the forest.
"Adrian, he's a vampire and Ray is a dark angel," Shean explained softly as he jumped lightly over a log.
"So if you both have black wings, then what's the difference?" I asked.
I hadn't seen Sheen's wings, but he told me they were black.
"I am born with my weapon by my side," he said helping me over a moss covered log, "he isn't, and he's a spinoff of demons and angels getting together. I also feed on shadows…" his voice trailed away leaving me perplexed.
He ate shadows? Want to talk about weird and wacked out? Well here you go.
"What the heck does that mean?" I asked frowning at him.
Before he could answer I heard voices calling. They had been looking for us, of course. A moment later a flashlight beam nearly blinded me.
"I FOUND THEM!!!" screamed the guy who was holding the flashlight. Soon we were surrounded by angry and relieved councilors and campers.
"What the heck happened!" demanded the balding guy thrusting his way forward. "Who did what?"
Shean opened his mouth to say what I'm sure was the truth, but without thinking I blurted out something different.
"I saw a snake and I have a snake phobia, Shean and his friends tried to get it to go away but the it slithered over my foot and I started seeing snakes everywhere and I ran and…and…" to make my story more convincing I began to cry as I ranted out my frustration from the day. Even if it was all a lie it helped me feel better, "Shean just managed to calm me down, I just really can't take snakes, and they scare me so, so, so much."
I began bawling burying my face in my hands. I wasn't even quite sure why I was crying.
"It's true," Shean said sighing, "Mr. Arty, I know I should have gotten help but she was really scared so I just followed her so she wouldn't get lost."
Mr. Arty, so that was his name.
Mr. Arty put a comforting arm around my shoulder, "it's alright Kristin." He whispered handing me a handkerchief, "what would make you feel better?"
"A shower," I blubbered, "then food would be nice."
I got my shower, and a thorough search of the cabin was done for the said snake. Then Ms. Rachel led me back to cabin four. Ray and Adrian were there but, thankfully, Darren was nowhere to be seen.
They looked shocked when I walked in. I felt only a little embarrassed by my skully bedtime tank top and shorts; I was too tired to feel the full extent of it. I crawled into my bed and gratefully accepted the bowl of instant noodles offered by Ms. Rachel.
"You'll be okay?" she asked softly.
I nodded.
"Don't worry," she told me smiling, "you'll have tons of fun while you're here. And snakes are rare in this area."
I gave her a wimpy smile and she left.
There was a long awkward silence filled only by my slurping. I finished the noodles quickly then I just sat there dozing while staring absentmindedly at the bowl.
"Ahem," Ray cleared his throat.
I jumped slightly, and I turned to give him a tired stare.
"You okay?" he asked slowly.
I gave him a half hearted nod and yawned as loud as a steam engine.
"Where is Darren?" Shean asked in a quiet careful voice.
"We chased him off," Adrian said grinning evilly, "Ray was really angry so I helped him, it was really fun."
Shean rolled his eyes at Ray who scowled.
"That dumb ass." He muttered furiously.
"He's going through a lot," Sheen murmured thoughtfully.
"So? Puberty is no excuse for what he did!" Ray snapped angrily at him.
"I know, I'm just thinking to myself about the situation, the intent," Shean snapped "I am not saying it was okay."
"The intent, the intent he says…THE INTENT DOESN'T MATTER! I want to kill that freak! You should beat him with that stick of yours." Ray hissed.
"I won't and it is not a stick—"
I went brilliant red when I noticed it was me who had screamed. I quickly looked down at my hands embarrassed beyond belief.
"Sorry," Ray muttered.
Another long awkward and seemingly endless silence stretched as my exhaustion appeared to fade and curiosity took center stage. After a lot of internal coaxing I finally got up the courage to ask Ray a question.
"Is flying fun?"
A big grin spread across Ray's face and he looked at Shean who just blinked back in response.
"Yeah, it's the best," he said looking back at me.
I nodded and thought for a long moment, I looked at Adrian, "do you drink human blood?"
He smirked, "no, to salty. I prefer mountain lion."
Like Edward, I mused to myself (I finished the Twilight books at a one day average for each book, just for the record).
"He's too chicken to try human," Ray said smirking at Adrian.
Adrian scowled at Ray with fury. Deep inside, I was grateful. But that brought another question.
"Do you eat human?" I asked staring with wide eyes at Ray.
He shook his head, "no, but I am a carnivore. I hate anything green."
"Except his boogers," Shean said smiling fully for the first time.
I let out one short laugh that sort of hurt my throat. Suddenly the world was swimming before my eyes. My late night the night before caught up with again and I unexpectedly dropped back onto my pillow.
"Night," I croaked before falling asleep.
I woke up to an annoying fanfare. I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes.
Wow. I was still alive, bruised, but alive.
"Morning cabin buddy!"
I turned to come face to face with Adrian who was smirking with a mouth full of sharp vampire teeth. I flushed, and gave him a grim look.
"You blush a lot." He pointed out.
I blushed even deeper. Wow, I blushed a lot, who didn't know that? Adrian smirked.
"Time for breakfast," he informed me happily.
I wondered what everybody had meant by him being bad. He was actually quite nice in my opinion. But then again, I had only known him for about 12 hours. Most of which I had been sleeping.
I skipped out of bed and stood in the middle of the floor scratching the back of my head trying to decide what to do next. I heard Ray snoring loudly and Shean was pulling a shirt on over his muscular chest. I looked away out the window, blushing again. Hell, he had a muscular chest. It was sunny out and I could hear boys and birds making noises outside.
I turned just in time to watch Adrian land on Ray's stomach.
Ray swore violently as he struggled with his sheets, he managed to fling the woolen blanket off.
"What the hell Adrian?!" he demanded glaring in fury at him.
Adrian laughed from his spot on the floor.
"Seriously, Adrian, isn't it too early for that?" Shean asked calmly, walking over.
"It's never too early to make Ray mad," Adrian stood up and smirked up at Shean.
Shean ignored him then faced me, "did you sleep well?" he asked.
I nodded, yawning loudly.
"Guys," he grabbed Ray and dragged him out of bed before shoving him out the door, "come on."
"Hey, I'm still in my pajamas!" Ray yelled.
"Let Kristin change first," Shean said pulling Adrian after him out the door. He shut it quietly leaving me all alone.
I stood for a moment trying to decide what to do. Then I scrambled for my stuff. I didn't want to look like one of those girls who took forever changing. I threw on a white t-shirt with a black skull on it, and then I quickly pulled up a pair of black shorts. I yanked a comb through my hair and then styled it with my bangs in my eyes like I always did. Finally I pulled my socks and sneakers on.
I glanced at my watch. I grinned; it had taken me six minutes. I opened the door to find Ray only.
He looked me up and down making me feel self conscious. He grinned.
"Nice," he said.
I flushed, that was the first time a boy had made a real compliment to me.
"Thank you," I murmured hopping out of the cabin.
"The mess hall is that way," he pointed down at a large open building, "if you want you can sit with us at table seven. But just so you know Darren is down there, so…"
I blushed brilliant red. Ray looked uncomfortable.
"He's sorry; I talked to him early this morning," Ray said quickly, "he's a neko and at this age nekos tend to be unstable. He really isn't like that, I swear."
I sighed. Forgive and forget; that was me! No matter what anybody did, I always let it go. I was stupid like that. I looked at the bright side; I had had my first kiss… sort of.
"Its fine," I said looking down.
"Great! It won't happen again I promise,"
I looked up at him and smiled slightly, "can we go down there together? I'm not good at entrances…"
He grinned, "Be out in a sec."

Callback File System - alternative to Dokan
If you had bad luck of starting development with Dokan, or just looking for alternatives, then Callback File System is right for you.
What is offered
Callback File System (CBFS®) is a software component (library) for presenting various data as files and directories of a local virtual disk. Regardless of where the actual data are kept: in files, in database records, memory, or elsewhere - they will be treated as if they were parts of a single file system.
Callback File System consists of the system-level driver and user-mode API. You write only user-mode code, leaving all kernel hassles for CBFS to solve.
Why CBFS
Callback File System was designed by professional software developers working in the established business, and it was designed with reliability and business suitability in mind. CBFS is maintained, supported and regularly updated to work flawlessly with the latest versions of Windows.
Need more proof?
Please check the comparison chart between CBFS and Dokan.
Compatibility with Dokan and FUSE
Architecture of Windows file systems is very much different from Unix and Linux approach that Dokan attempts to mimic. Main APIs of Callback File Systems include C++, .NET, Java and Delphi, and those APIs are not one-to-one compatible with FUSE. So we offer FUSE compatibility layer in C which you can use when porting your dokan code. While this API has a limited set of features comparing to "native" APIs of CBFS, FUSE API lets you port your code quite easily. Alternatively you can rewrite your Dokan code to use native CBFS APIs.

ARM Holdings (ARMH) Continues to Squash Critics with Latest Earnings Report
I won't talk about the valuation of ARM Holdings (ARMH) because you don't talk about fight club, but needless to say it's 'Salesforce.com' like. The company beat estimates of $161.4M in revenue and 10 cents EPS, with a quarter of $179.6M and 14 cents. After pulling back from highs via the CES hysteria ($28) the stock settled in a range of $24-$25 the past 2 weeks. However it was SO stretched from any meaningful support that pullback did not even take it to the 20 day moving average. Anyone trying to catch the name near that level missed their chance....
Gross margin's remain insane in the mid 90% range, as this is essentially a licensing company- and backlog is great.
- Gross margin in the quarter edged up from 94.3% to 94.9%.
- ARM said its backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was up about 35% sequentially and about 75% higher than a year earlier.
The royalty rate did fall both sequentially and year over year - which puts a blemish in Goldman Sachs' view that somehow ARMH will be increasing royalty rates (when you are trying to justify a valuation, you come up with all sort of rainbow and butterfly scenarios) [Jan 18, 2011: 65x Forward Earnings for ARM Holdings? No Problemo says Goldman Sachs]
Via Barron's:
- Q4 revenue was up 28%, year over year, at $179.6 million, beating the average $161.4 million estimate. EPS of 14 cents was better by 4 cents. The company said it expects to gain share and revenues for the full year will "be at least in line with market expectations."
- ARM's processor division recorded a 51% jump in licensing revenue, and a 29% jump in royalty revenue, year over year.
- The "Physical IP" division saw a 26% jump in licensing and an 8% jump in royalties.
- The only potential blemish was the decline, quarter over quarter, of the company's royalty rate: from 4.7 cents in Q3 to 4.6 cents. The rate was also below the year-earlier quarter's 4.9 cents. ARM cited the increase in sales of low-cost microcontrollers as being a cause.
- The company expects to have "normalised" operating expenses — meaning, on a constant currency basis — in Q1 lower than in Q4, at a projected £57 million to 59 million, versus £61.2 million in Q4.
- ARM, in a statement Tuesday, said it signed 35 processor licenses in the fourth quarter for a range of applications including smartphones, mobile computers, servers and smartcards.
A nice interview with the CEO at All Things Digital
The conventional wisdom right now is that Intel's longest-term strategic threat is ARM. Is that fair? Will ARM become the rival camp to Intel and x86?
The two markets have been very separate and so they've been coming together. Intel has acknowledged that computing has to go lower-power, and they've done some work with the Atom processor. They're still a long way off in terms of power consumption from where we are today. They'll get closer, and ARM will move higher up in terms of computing performance. Inevitably there's going to be a clash. Some thought it would happen in the netbook space, but that fizzled out in my mind.
I believe the CEO will also be making an appearance tonight on the 'Mad Man's show.

Danbury — Vice President Joe Biden told those gathered for a gun violence prevention conference in Danbury on Thursday, "We better get this done."
"I can imagine how we will be judged as a society if we do nothing," Biden said.
In addition to changes to gun laws, the vice president said funding needs to be found for mental health and school security.
More than 300 people gathered at Western Connecticut State University for the conference and to listen to Biden, who is in charge of the Obama administration's efforts to draft new federal legislation in the wake of the school shootings that killed 26 students and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
The people of Newtown have continued to make their voices heard and participate in conferences where they have had to relive the tragedy, Biden said. The least politicians can do is show some political courage, he said.
Biden said the country needs universal background checks for all weapons and that all states must enter criminal and mental health information into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
The vice president said there needs to be a limit on high-capacity gun magazines. There was no reason for the shooter in the Aurora movie theater to have 100 rounds, he said.
The ban on assault-style weapons should be re-enacted and strengthened, he said, and there must be a federal gun trafficking law so that prosecutors can go after traffickers.
To those who say assault-style weapons are needed for protection, Biden said, "They are wrong." To those who say it isn't about guns, he said, "They are wrong, it is."
"Our culture isn't killing people," he said. It's high-capacity magazines, and people not going through background checks, he said.
Newtown First Selectwoman Pat Llodra agreed with Biden. "It is time to act," she said.
"Don't let the tragedy in Newtown be another event" in a long list of mass shootings, she said.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy outlined his proposed changes to gun laws at the conference, which also was attended by U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, both Connecticut Democrats; U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-Cheshire; and U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
At the federal level, more resources are needed for police officers, school resource officers and mental health professionals, Biden said.
Federal law also needs to be changed so that the government may study gun violence, he said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can't even keep records on gun violence, Biden said.
"We can't remain silent," he said. "We must speak for the 20 children who died."
He said he believes those who do not act will pay a political price.
'Unstoppable momentum'
Earlier, Blumenthal said he agreed with Malloy that the tragedy in Newtown has changed people.
"Preventing gun violence was thought to be untouchable two months ago," Blumenthal. But the "unspeakable horror" in Newtown has gathered "unstoppable momentum," he said.
Since Newtown, 1,900 other victims have died from gun violence, he said. No state can deal with it alone, he said.
At the federal level, Blumenthal said, he wants to see a ban on high-capacity magazines, a law that prevents illegal trafficking of guns, an expanded assault-style weapons ban and background check databases strengthened.
States are not independent islands when it comes to gun violence, he said.
"A federal agenda is necessary, and you are a part of it," he said.
The American people and political leadership both have to work hard to make this happen, he said.
Murphy said having Biden, Malloy and Duncan at the conference makes it possible to get something done.
"The 'Connecticut effect' is not passing us, it is galvanizing us," Esty said.
She said the leadership and courage of local leaders and Connecticut residents was unbelievable in the face of so much loss.
"You get up every morning and tell your story, and you make sure your country moves forward every day," she said.
Tackling the problem
Blumenthal asked panelists whether more gun control is needed at the federal level and whether better gun safety training and safety locks are needed.
Dom Basile, a sportsman, said he thought access to guns was the crux of the problem. He said the mother of shooter Adam Lanza "did not have the guns properly secured." He said the state's anti-gun trafficking task force needs to be funded again.
Stacy Spell, a retired detective from New Haven, agreed. "Straw buyers who purchase guns from Virginia and North Carolina need to be stopped."
Many panelists said the laws already on the books need to be enforced.
"The best laws don't work if they are not enforced," Blumenthal said.
Murphy moderated the panel on mental health and school safety and asked panelists whether more school resource officers and mental health professionals were needed.
Steve Girelli, president and chief executive officer of Klinberg Family Centers based in New Britain, said the police officers in schools are critical to children feeling safe. But Mark Benigni, superintendent of the Meriden Public Schools, said he believed officers are beneficial in middle and high schools, but that he would rather see limited resources spent on mental health workers in elementary schools.
"To add additional mental health support in our elementary schools, to increase family outreach at our elementary schools, would be things that I think are helpful," Benigni said.

The Person We See
Grey wispy hair pokes through her hat
Waddling homeward on worn down heels
Carrying bags that hit and bump
on legs as they hurry through city streets
Sitting alone in her cold flat
She dreams by the fire of days long gone
When she was looked at not just seen
When she was pretty and young and strong

Wasting The Day Away
As Macy rolled over to look at the clock, she realized it was around 1:45 in the afternoon. She cursed herself; she had made a promise toward the beginning of the summer that she wouldn't waste days away in bed. And that was exactly what she was doing. Sighing loudly, she got up slowly and threw on some sweatpants knowing she didn't have enough time to shower before Raine showed up. But she didn't care anyway. Doesn't everyone say that in healthy relationships you see each other at their best and their worst? Definitely. She knew it was true because she'd already been at her worst and he was right there by her side. Unfortunately, she just hadn't recovered to her best yet.
Trudging down the stairs, Macy sighed loudly again. She wasn't in the mood. She wasn't in the mood to put on a face for Raine that everything was okay because she was so aggravated that it wasn't now like it was two days ago. She wasn't in the mood to talk to Ellie either because that would mean facing her true fears, which would be even harder than facing Raine. Raine, she could handle. They could lounge around the house and do nothing all day. No obligations but to be together.
Just then the doorbell rang and Macy couldn't help but crack a smile. As much as she wasn't in the mood, she couldn't help but be happy to see Raine. And Brandon wasn't home, which meant they could lie in her bed all day. Technically she wouldn't be wasting the day away because she'd be with Raine. She stepped down from the bottom of the stairs and went to open the door for him. As soon as she saw him, she smiled even more. He had two Starbucks coffees in hand and three movies tucked under his arm. It was almost as if he'd read her mind.
"Just waking up?" he guessed as he stepped over the threshold and she nodded. "Not to worry I've got a coffee right here and a couple old school movies with our names on it. Happy lazy day, you seemed like you needed it."
She didn't even know what to say so just kissed his lips intensely. "It's perfect, you're perfect. Thanks."
He shrugged as if he already knew this and chuckled quietly. "Wanna set up down here?" He headed toward the TV room but she pulled him away.
"Brandon's not home, so no. Come on." She took his hand and led the way up the stairs to her bedroom as he tried to hide his smile. There was no trouble doing that when he entered her room though. He surveyed the bed, the sheets tangled up and the pillows scattered everywhere. "You didn't sleep well?"
"I didn't sleep at all actually."
He shook his head sadly, as if he knew that something had happened in therapy yesterday to completely change her progress. "Well here," he said with a forced smile. "Let's get comfortable now." He kicked off his shoes and walked to the television on her dresser, popping in the first DVD.
"What are we watching?" she asked curiously, settling back under the covers but leaving them open for him to climb in too.
"The Breakfast Club. I've also got Dirty Dancing, and this one you'll love—James Bond."
"You're too good," she laughed as Raine climbed into the bed and brought her into his arms.
"Only for you," he replied softly, kissing the top of her head. She took a couple sips of her coffee before setting it on the bedside table and focusing on the screen. Raine stroked her hair sweetly, running his fingers through it, calming her. Within twenty minutes, her eyes were getting heavy. "Sleep please. You need it."
She gave in happily, drifting off into a nightmare-free dream. Raine's fingers had to have been magic. Macy had struggled to sleep all night but with his hands in her hair, she fell asleep quickly.
Raine watched Macy sleep more than he watched the movie. He was glad to be of service, glad he could comfort her in any way possible, even by putting her to sleep. But he couldn't help question what had happened in her session yesterday that had drastically changed things for the worse. She only got nightmares when she was extremely stressed so he was left to ponder what Ellie could have possibly said to her to make her so stressed that she was back to sleepless nights.
He wondered how much Macy had told her and like it or not, knew he'd have to bring it up when she awoke. He didn't like having those kinds of conversations. He didn't like the touchy subjects where he had to question whether or not Macy would tell him the truth. But at the same time, those conversations were a good thing, a blessing in disguise. It really meant that their relationship was real enough to talk about just about anything and that made him happy. That even if he had to think about her lying—which is reasonable because everyone lies—he knew he could really trust her. He knew he could bring up any topic and get an answer.
Macy slept an hour and a half past the end of the movie but Raine was fine with that. He thought about getting up to put another one in but decided he didn't want to leave her side. So instead he continued to stroke her hair and look around her room. Her walls were lined with pictures on corkboards, of her and Brandon, her and family or friends and some of just her by herself. He liked those ones especially, because in every picture she looked like a model. Banging body, beautiful skin and hair, a happy smile on her face—she was stunning. And all his, which made him even happier.

Cold sore treatment not a cure for oral herpes simplex. Flu, and other diseases are contracted through kissing, etc.
"If each of us determines to help get millions of other people to share this, we will change the world."
|Home | Cold Sores | Cold Sore Prevention | Cold Sore Treatment | Cold Sore Remedies | Alzheimer's
|Cold Sore
Cold Sore TreatmentCold sore treatment success is very limited. There is no cure for cold sores. The cold sore virus is very contagious at all stages, even when no symptoms are present. However, cold sores are the most contagious when they break open and fluid oozes out. At best, cold sore treatments mainly help to relieve the symptoms.
Cold sores can spread to other people through kissing when people are completely unaware that they may have the cold sore virus, as most people are, and when no symptoms are present. Cold sore treatment does not prevent the virus from spreading. Cold sores can spread to other parts of your body, especially the genital area, and can likewise spread to other people like a plague even through skin contact particularly when there are cold sore blisters present. Cold sores can spread by sharing things that touch the lips and skin around them, such as towels, lip balm, toothpaste, toothbrush, cups, or utensils, shavers, etc. Prevention is more important than cold sore treatment. Some people think that cold sore treatment protects them and other people from the cold sore virus. This is not true.
There is no cure for the herpes simplex virus and cold sore treatment only reduces symptoms. Once you have the cold sore virus, it stays in your body. You cannot totally prevent cold sore outbreaks even when using a cold sore treatment. However, you can only reduce how often cold sores appear and how long they last with a cold sore treatment like antiviral medication, etc. These are most effective if used before the blisters form, like as soon as you notice any tingling sensations.
Antiviral medication limits the virus's ability to grow. Antiviral cold sore treatments allow the body to fight the virus faster. However, most cold sore treatments do not help to make the virus less contagious and antiviral cold sore treatment can also enable the virus to obtain resistance.
Some common antiviral medications are:

Dennis Lillee has described England's preparations for the Ashes as unprofessional as Andrew Flintoff's side get ready for Thursday's crucial third Test in Perth. Lillee is regarded by many to be the finest fast bowler cricket has produced, and he believes that England should have travelled to Australia as soon as they were knocked out of the Champions Trophy in October rather than return home for four or five days.
Following defeats in Brisbane and Adelaide, the tourists are 2-0 down in the series. They have key players struggling for form too, a predicament that has led to the coach, Duncan Fletcher, being heavily criticised. England's itinerary before the first Test - a limited-over game in Canberra and three-day matches in Sydney and Adelaide - is the principle reason for Lillee's anger.
As the second highest wicket-taker in Ashes history Lillee knows what it takes to win the urn and he, like many former players, feels that it takes a cricketer far longer than a fortnight to adapt to conditions here.
"I thought if England had been fully fit and had good preparation, there would have been a fight all the way through," Lillee said. " But they've had bad preparation. I think that going back to England and not coming straight here and getting another seven, eight or nine days practice was bordering on stupid. I certainly don't think it will ever happen again."
Lillee, who took 355 wickets in 70 Tests, sympathises with England over their injury problems but he does not feel they have helped themselves with selection.
"I think they've had a horror run with injuries, plus you throw in Trescothick, but I'm not sure the selection has been right," he said. "I think they've had a few problems and they are not that well prepared for the series. England has to win this one, otherwise it's a dead series, and Australia will be going all out to make sure they seal it in this game. It's going to be ripper of a game."
England were given a day off following their two-day match against Western Australia and several of the players used the break to visit Perth's wonderful beaches before participating in a light training session at the hotel gym. Stephen Harmison took his young family to an aquarium to see the sharks - it is hoped the experience puts some bite back in to his bowling.
Freddie Flintoff is a fan and friend of Elton John, and on Sunday night an England party watched him in concert at Burswood Dome, the fourth gig they have seen since they arrived in the country. Australia, in contrast, began their preparations for what could be an Ashes-winning Test by practicing at the Waca for more than two hours.
I wonder what Dennis Lillee would have said about that.

Islamabad, Feb.14 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has urged the European Union (EU) to treat Pakistan at par with India.
During a meeting with EU Ambassadors comprising the envoys of Sweden and Spain, Gilani said the Pakistan should also get access to the same civil nuclear technology that India has.
Gilani emphasised that the European Union must realize that its relations with Pakistan are to be developed on a stand-alone basis and not for the reasons of Pakistan's contiguity with Afghanistan.
The ambassadors briefed Gilani on EU's action plan on Pakistan as approved by the EU's External Relation Council at the end of October 2009, The Dawn reports.
The EU ambassadors assured that it would help also Pakistan build the capacity of its law enforcement agencies. (ANI)

Keith Jarrett's first solo acoustic piano recording remains one of his best. At this point in late 1971, Jarrett had just started improvising completely freely. That does not mean that his solos were necessarily atonal but simply that they were not planned in any way in advance. The music on these eight improvisations are often quite melodic, very rhythmic and bluesy. This set makes for a perfect introduction to Jarrett's many solo piano recordings.
Jarrett's 1970s albums may have confused some purists but they should be a goldmine for contemporary fans of all stripes who like improvised music. El Juicio is an excellent early Jarrett album and finds him in typically eclectic form with his classic American quartet. I nominate the opener, "Gypsy Moth," as the best piece on the record. Sounding a little like a more confident version of "Lisbon Stomp," from Jarrett's 1967 debut album Life Between the Exit Signs, Jarrett first whips up a rollicking theme on the piano and then switches to soprano sax towards the end, the rhythm section swinging hard throughout.
"The Bregenz/Munich concerts were Jarrett's most brilliant live solo recordings to date; his level of inspiration is quite extraordinary, and the music covers a wider musical and emotional range than ever." – Jarrett biographer Ian Carr
With saxophonist Jan Garbarek and bassist Charlie Haden along for the ride, Keith Jarrett indulges in three slow, rambling, meditative, vaguely neo-classical concertos for piano and string orchestra. While a few of Jarrett's and Garbarek's passages here and there have a syncopated jazz feeling, this is mostly contemporary classical music, perhaps even somewhat ahead of its time (it might fit in with the neo-Romantic and minimalist camps today). However, although this music can be attractive in small doses, the lack of tempo or texture contrasts over long stretches of time – particularly the nearly 28-minute "Mirrors" – can be annoying if you're not in the right blissful mood. Mladen Gutesha and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra perform the string parts with what can only be described as commendable patience.
Recorded at his home studio in 1986, the double album No End illuminates hitherto undocumented aspects of Keith Jarrett's music. He is heard on electric guitars, electric bass, drums and percussion, overdubbing tribal dances of his own devising: "Somehow something happened during these days in the 80s that won't ever be repeated," he writes in his liner notes. "There was really, to my knowledge, no forethought or composition - in the typical sense - going on; just a feeling or a rhythmic idea or a bass line concept or melody. None of this was written down."
Standards is a two-volume set of jazz albums released by the Keith Jarrett trio in 1983. Originally released by ECM, they have been multiply re-issued, including by Universal/Polygram. The two volumes present performances of pianist Keith Jarrett with Gary Peacock on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums. Vol. 1 reached #14 on the Billboard Jazz Albums charts. In 2008 the two albums, along with 1983's Changes, were collected into a boxed set, Setting Standards: New York Sessions.

While purists might claim that the jazz pianist Keith Jarrett's disc of Handel's keyboard suites is an example of the wrong performer on the wrong instrument, his straightforward conception and contrapuntal clarity underscore the solid foundation on which Handel's most flamboyant fantasies were built. This one of Keith's finest classical performances, and essential listening for baroque enthusiasts.
2011 two CD release from the Jazz pianist On April 9, 2011 Keith Jarrett returned to South America for the first time in decades to perform three solo concerts. The third and final concert found him in Rio de Janeiro in front of a packed house and enthralled audience. Inspired by the electrifying atmosphere, the pianist pulls a broad range of material from the ether: thoughtful/reflective pieces, abstract sound-structures, pieces that fairly vibrate with energy.
Splitting his time between the electric and acoustic pianos and a bit of organ, Jarrett teams up with drummer/percussionist Jack DeJohnette in a series of experimental duets, his only electric session for ECM. The all-acoustic title number ranges all over the lot, from tootling on a bamboo (?) flute to the energizing barrelhouse gospel riffs that would bloom in the solo concerts.

La Jolla is a small, relatively new resort in Mazatlan, Mexico. It is only partially built, and they are selling units on a pre-construction basis. The clients often complain about their lack of compliance with the 5 day cancellation policy and their lack of availability to book when they want to use it. They also use rental and resale scams to increase their sales.

Women and Infants' Hospital of RI, Providence, RI
Snoring during pregnancy is shown to be associated with a higher risk of preeclampsia and growth restriction. The goal of this study is to compare symptoms of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in mothers of newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) compared to mothers whose newborns did not require such an admission at birth.
A cross sectional survey of symptoms of SDB was performed at a large obstetric hospital. Consecutive mothers of neonates admitted to the NICU were recruited to answer a questionnaire on symptoms of SDB and daytime sleepiness using a modified multivariable apnea prediction index and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Neck circumference was measured. Statistical analysis: Categorical variables were compared by Fisher's exact T-test and continuous variables were compared by T-test or the Wilcoxon rank sum test. The associations were summarized by odd ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
A total of 863 women were included; 101 NICU mothers and 762 non-NICU mothers. Among NICU babies, 16.4% were multiples, 64.6% pre-term and 59.1% had low birth weight. Mean age was comparable in the 2 groups. Mothers of NICU babies were more likely to be Hispanic than controls (OR 2.55, 1.54–4.22). There were no significant differences in pre-pregnancy body mass index, weight gain or neck circumference. NICU mothers were more likely to smoke (OR 2.83, 1.61–4.97) and had a higher likelihood of preeclampsia (OR 4.03, 2.14–7.61) and gestational hypertension (OR 5.82, 3.17–10.69). Snoring was prevalent in 42.1% of NICU moms compared to 33.3% in non-NICU moms with a trend toward statistical significance between snoring (OR 1.45; 0.9–2.32), gasping (OR 1.87; 1.0–3.5) and NICU status.
Despite a previously described association between SDB symptoms and gestational hypertensive disorders, and a high prevalence of gestational hypertensive disorder in our NICU mothers compared to the non-NICU mothers, there was only a trend to a higher incidence of symptoms of SDB in the NICU group.
Snoring in pregnancy is not a statistically significant predictor of NICU admission.

A flotilla of several dozen boats has gathered in Howe Sound to protest a proposed LNG export terminal.
Organizer Eoin Finn says protestors are worried the proposed "Woodfibre" plant will undo decades of work cleaning the waters up.
"It's recovering from the ravages of the past industrialization of industrialization. The Marine life is returning, we have orcas, dolphins, and for the first time in living memory whales in the sound. We've kind of been there done that, and the residents around the sound are not keen on this development."
Finn says the province has not listened to overwhelming opposition to the project.
And he says there are major safety concerns with having LNG tankers so close to urban areas.
The project was due to wrap its environmental assessment this month — but has paused the process to address a list of conditions from local first nations.
But the company behind the LNG plant says those safety concerns are overblown.
Woodfibre LNG's Jennifer Siddon says in 50 years of operation — there has never been a major LNG accident.
"A lot of people may not know that Boston Harbour has a facility well within where people live and work and they've been safely operating for years. Another great example is in Rotterdam, and they have a very busy port and they've safely been operating L-N-G for years as well."
Siddon with Woodfibre says the company is working to improve fish habitat in the sound — and concerns about using seawater to cool the plant are overstated.
"We have done some detailed studies, and we'll continue to do studies, but the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, through the environmental assessment process, have let us know that at this point they have no concerns about us affecting the population of herring in howe sound with our seawater cooling system."
Siddon says LNG has a 50 year strong safety record.

Should I use redundo payment to follow my dream – or play it safe?
I have just been made redundant by an insurance company where I have worked for 25 years – my first job after leaving school. My redundancy payout will let me pay a chunk off my mortgage or set up a new business on my own, and this is my dilemma.
I have looked around the job market and find that even with my wide range of skills in the financial services/insurance industry, I will struggle to command a salary in the region of what I have been earning.
Which brings me to the dream I have been harbouring: opening up my own coffee shop business. I realise the hard work and demands that this will place on my family while establishing the business, and have done some light research into what will be needed to make it succeed. I believe I have identified an angle to create a niche in the local market that would satisfy my creativity as well as prove successful as a business.
I know this is a risk, but should I use my redundancy payment as an opportunity to start my own business? Or should I play it safe and find another job in the insurance industry that will pay the bills but not excite me?
Jeremy says
As someone who has stayed in the same industry and with the same company for 25 years, you are clearly not an impulsive hothead. From your experience of the financial services sector, you will know the crucial importance of financial planning and discipline. So I am not going to subject you to a finger-wagging lecture on the perils of starting up a new business and the personal (and family) demands that such a decision entails. Indeed, it is exactly your background that leads me to encourage you to go for it.
I would urge caution only if your family is seriously opposed. You are realistic enough to know that most new ventures go through bumpy patches and that there will be moments when you question your decision – fretting sleeplessly about the possibility of failure and the uncertainty of your future. At times like these, the last thing you need is the sense that your family is not wholeheartedly behind you.
As always, Shakespeare puts it well: "There is a tide in the affairs of men/ Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;/ Omitted, all the voyage of their life/ Is bound in shallows and in miseries." (Julius Caesar)
The accident of redundancy and the existence of your redundancy payment make your dream seem suddenly attainable. You are young enough and mature enough to go for it. This seems to me the tide in your own affairs. If you fail to ride it, your future life may not be bound in shallows and miseries, but I suspect you'd never quite shake off that brooding feeling of "if only …".
Readers say
• Before committing any cash, remember that location is key – as is successfully identifying your speciality niche. Research this – not lightly, but endlessly. Talk to other business owners; visit potential sites at different times of different days.
Remember that set-up will cost you more than you think, and that however you prepare yourself for hard work, it will be harder than that – but far more rewarding than you expect, if your business is a success. I opened Scotland's first soup cafe after a lifetime doing different things, but I did a serious amount of research before committing my redundancy cheque to the project. dragonflythree
I've fallen into charity roles – but how do I find the right career?
I am really frustrated with the direction my career has taken. I am 29, and after completing a degree in French and Italian I fell into charity fundraising, which I have been doing for more than six years now. I had a brief period working at a law centre where I assisted on immigration and asylum cases, which I loved, but since then I have fallen back into fundraising.
I now work for a human rights charity. When I was younger I felt strongly that I wanted to devote my energies to a "good cause", but I suppose I imagined that doing so would be far more fulfilling than it has turned out to be. All offices seem, in the end, to be full of the same politics and difficulties.
I am worried my CV will prevent me from winning new opportunities, but I know I have lots of transferable skills. For example, I love writing and I can do it well, but I am not sure I want that to be my job – I am scared it would take the joy out of it. I am desperate to find the path that is right for me – I just don't know how to go about it.
Jeremy says
There is a touch of perversity in your letter. You understandably want to do something that engages you, that you enjoy. Yet, because you love writing and are good at it, you shy away from writing for a living.
In fact, of course, an ability to write well can be of value in any number of occupations; as you point out, it is one of those transferable skills you are lucky enough to possess. But transferable skills, almost by definition, are never the core ability or qualification that makes someone suitable for a particular job: they just help a person do that job well. And it is a core ability that you need to identify and promote.
I wish I knew more about your brief period at a law centre, which you say you loved. It seems to me that what differentiated this role from your charity fundraising is that while both roles are helping "good causes", you got greater satisfaction from the work at the law centre – I suspect because it brought you into face-to-face contact with many different people.
Then there are your languages. You have a degree in French and Italian yet seem not to have made use of it. I am not suggesting you teach, which you probably considered and rejected some time ago; just that you start by listing all those occupations where languages are always an advantage and sometimes essential.
Put these thoughts together with your need to have daily contact with people, not just office colleagues, and you should find a number of intriguing possibilities beginning to emerge.
Readers say
• With your skills and experience you could absolutely get into the more fulfilling side of charity work – delivery rather than fundraising. You have to know what you want to do first, and why. Networking is the key. If you are in a small charity, get to all the charity events you can and network. Consider leaving for a fundraising role in a big international charity, and then network to get into the operational side. Make it clear you are willing to work away from home, overseas, covering temporary jobs. That is what will get you into the interesting stuff. mrssmooseface
• I have worked in various fields. I wouldn't describe any as a "dream job" or "just right for me", but I have found things to enjoy in each of them. Maybe you should look to do the same. SpursSupporter

Soaking in the colours of Holi is a strict no-no in a village of Jharkhand's Bokaro district.
Residents of Durgapur, around 40km from the district headquarters, fear a deadly epidemic would strike them if Holi is celebrated in the village.
Local residents say the village has been carrying a curse since a local ruler was killed by invaders on the day of Holi "centuries ago". People who have tried to break the curse have paid with their lives, the village chief said.
The 7,000-odd residents have never indulged in the Festival of Colours in Durgapur in their lifetime. However, they are not barred from going to nearby villages and take part in Holi revelry.
Village mukhiya (chief) Amresh Kumar Mahto said the practice was centuries-old. According to him, local ruler Durga Deo was killed while trying to resist an invasion bid by a rival king on the day of the festival.
When queried by HT, Mahto, however, could not tell more on when and how Deo was killed.
"People had high regard for the ruler, and they decided not to celebrate the festival after the incident. Whenever someone has tried to break the custom, calamities such as epidemic has struck the village. Livestock as well as men have died."
Mahto added villagers of Durgapur perform their routine chores on Holi.
Local resident Naneshwar Mahto said, "People of my village have not been playing Holi for long. All the villagers including women and children follow the practice."
However, he added there was no restriction on people going to another village and celebrating Holi.

Set in 2020, where "Super Competent" are groups of exceptionally skilled people in various highly valued area of expertise in society had appeared, this story focuses on the appearance of "The Variant"; a former vigilante and practical ideologist. A disaster about to strike the city of CIT and it seems that no one but the mysterious organisation behind it is aware. it is up to the Super Competent within the city to find out what is going on and resolve the impending apocalypse before it gets out of control and extreme measures are taken.
Curious thing we have defined in the world we live in today. The word itself backdates till a time long before; though our species have been in existence longer than before language itself that we created.
Our kind till date, has been proven to be the only self aware living beings in the universe we know, at least to ourselves.
Our limits, seemingly restricted to our physical beings, and more recently widened to our mental capacities, has always been confined to a certain degree; that varying by the individual.
Many a thing we humans have made, be it physical or psychologically. From something edible that prevents starvation to faith, which allows us to emotionally relate to logic, that we can believe in an event unfolding in a way we determined.
I have always been…dyingly curious, to live the duration of my life, in order to find out as much as I can; as much as I will.
Even in the face of death, I still seek to live longer just to see more of this world we live in. Limits that people reach; limits that we overcome.
Ironic, contradictory; unbelievable, improbable, and truthfully, indescribable.
My will, though complicated, is as simple as "Living to die; after being what I be."
Society, religion, politics, achievements, mankind, and everything is but a stepping stone for my path to what I seek. A stepping stone that can make one slip at any moment, falling into the abyss with no direction till you find one.
A fall that could be a climb to a place never reached before; a step up leading down to beneath where you started from.
But that all, has never been in the view of the humans we claim to be genius. Like in the view of the insane. Like perhaps, in me.
And so I will go through it all. This life a human lives; this life that every human loses eventually.
I will see to it; being like no other, and yet like everyone else.
To break that limit. The limit. As many times as I can. While I'm human. As long as it remains.
