wanted our government to strike back at the terrorists by bombing
cheered when President Bush stood tall and said, "Let's roll!" And
you applauded when he said he will root out the evil-doers everywhere
in the world.
when innocent Afghans were killed, you said there's bound to be
"collateral damage" in a war.
the Feds took over the airports and created enormous inconveniences
for passengers, you pointed out that we all must sacrifice for the
greater good.
it was revealed that the military were keeping prisoners in secret,
and that people might be tried in secret – and even executed – you
pointed out that these things are necessary in wartime. After all,
the Bill of Rights shouldn't apply to terrorists, right?
the federal government has taken the next logical step – the one
that proceeds inexorably from all that it has done up to now.
government's Citizen Corps program has set up Operation
TIPS (Terrorism Information & Prevention System). At its
website, complete with a smiling picture of Big Brother, you can
about time, right? We've been pussy-footing around with these terrorists
for too long, right?
far the Feds have recruited over a million people to snoop for them
– cable TV installers and repairmen, telephone servicemen, trash
men, and other people who might be around your home during the course
of their work. While doing their normal jobs, they'll look for anything
suspicious in your home – and they'll report to the government anything
they think is strange.
anyone coming into your home might be a Federal snoop. Even that
neighbor who doesn't like you may be a government informant.
so what? You have nothing to hide, right?
the cable TV man comes to your house and sees those strange books
on your shelf, or the catalog from a gun maker in the trash (a catalog
you didn't ask for, but was sent to you because your name was bought
from someone you deal with), or the unusual amount of electronic
equipment you have, he has the opportunity to be a hero and report
you to the secret police. He might even get a Gold Star. Or make
that a Red Star.
so what? Even if secret agents come to question you, you're innocent,
right? You have nothing to hide. You can tell the secret police
they've got the wrong man.
can explain later to the neighbors that those policemen and strange-looking
agents were at your home by mistake, right?
course, the thought police might not accept your explanations. And
they probably won't let you call an attorney. But you don't need
an attorney if you're innocent, right?
even if they arrested you when you were by yourself and your family
doesn't know where you are, your spouse and children won't worry
unnecessarily about you. After all, they know you can take care
of yourself, right?
it's true that the anti-terrorism experts need to make a lot of
arrests, in order to show they're doing something and to justify
expanding their budgets. After all, they are government bureaucrats
– just like the ones who are wiping out drugs, poverty, and illiteracy.
But they're doing important work – and so you shouldn't complain
if you're inconvenienced, right?
may even torture you to get information you don't have. But, hey,
it's better to torture ten innocent people than to let one guilty
person conceal the plans for the next terrorist attack, right?
we had a Bill of Rights in America, it assured you of a right to
have an attorney present, a right to confront your accusers, a right
to know the charge against you, a right to reasonable bail, a right
to a public and speedy trial before a jury of your peers.
that was before America
was attacked in an unprovoked and vicious act. And so now we must
all be willing to sacrifice – and accept whatever the government
thinks best. You said that yourself, right? And the TIPS program
may give you the honor to be one of the first Americans to
you may be detained in secret, because you might not be allowed
to see an attorney, because you might not have a public trial, and
because you'll be dealing with human beings who are far from perfect,
it's even possible that you could be tried and executed in secret.
so what? Your death will just be part of the collateral damage that's
a necessary element in this important War on Terrorism.
you will die happy – knowing your government stood tall and showed
the terrorists they couldn't get away with the 9-11 attack.

Free trial and demo offered for TERA
Free trial and demo offered for TERA
Updated on: Jul 30, 2012 at 12:54
By TJSonntag
Publishers: Frogster
Type: MMORPG
Themes: fantasy, medieval, rpg
Status: Final
Costs: Subscription
We haven't really heard much about En Masse Entertainment's latest offering in the MMO recently, and a quick glance at the official TERA website gives a hint about the state of the game. TERA is now offering a free half-hour demo, no download required, along with a free seven day trial.
When a game this new is offering free trials, it's usually not a good sign.
Players are already complaining on the community forums that the game is a ghost town, with largely unpopulated servers. While the combat system did offer a breath of fresh air, the rest of the game is all standard fantasy MMO, all the time.
You can see more The Exiled Realm of Arborea on the game's official website, where you can check out the PvP leaderboards, elections for the political system and other details.
TERA is developed by Bluehole Studios.

Lady Gaga goes under the knife for hip surgery
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
After cancelling the remaining dates of her Born This Way Ball tour due to a case of synovitis, or a severe inflammation of the joints, Lady Gaga has checked into the hospital for hip surgery, according to The Sun.
She tweeted:
Going in for surgery now. Thank you so much for sending me love and support. I will be dreaming of you.— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) February 20, 2013
Although Lady G might not be able to walk for a while as she recovers, she's got a nice set of wheels to get her around - a wheelchair she's named "Emma."
This is Emma. twitter.com/ladygaga/statu…— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) February 16, 2013
We wish Mother Monster a safe surgery and a speedy recovery!

Ohhhh I love shopping this time of the year, don't you? Okay, so every store is packed but it's still so nice to be out – especially in the larger cities where the store windows are decorated so fancifully and the whimsical store decor can't help by infect you with a happy virus plus, most people are in a good mood. Of course, by mid December I'm completely over it and begging, "Make it go awayyyy!" (LOL) but for now, I'm enjoying the sights and sounds and the mulled spice wine!
One thing I see EVERYWHERE are shiny things on strings – ornaments! Especially here in the Christmas markets that just popped up all over my city. Yet, with the exception of the Santa and Reindeer variety, I don't see most ornaments as being so Christmas-y these days despite the fact that they show up mostly during this time of the year. I see ornaments as great decor any time of the year, in fact I like hanging them from the handles on my windows, from a nail to mix in with art on a salon style wall or to hang from a cabinet lock. I love going to Anthropologie after Christmas to take advantage of their ornament sales because they're usually 50% off or more.
Of course, most associate ornaments with Christmas for good reason and if done with a measure of good taste (not overloading a tree so much that it bends like my dear grandmother once did, ha ha!), they can be a real thing of beauty if you choose to celebrate. I came across some ornaments today in my inbox that I thought I'd share, these DIY geometric paper ornaments are gorgeous – you can go with the bold brights or the softer pastels or do what I would do – mix them up! I can see these as being fun for Spring, especially the pastel tones.
These beauties are from Field Guide Design. So pretty, right? I love geometric shapes, especially mixing pastels with black and some brights – fun!

USF Enjoys Strong NFL Draft Weekend
By USF
Related Links
TAMPA – The University of South Florida football program celebrated a strong NFL Draft weekend. The Bulls had three players drafted and six others have earned free-agent opportunities. With the three players drafted, USF has now had 11 Bulls selected over the last four years, which is tied for the second most of the BIG EAST teams. Overall, USF has had 22 players drafted since its first-ever pick in 2001.
USF's draft weekend started on Friday evening, when the Denver Broncos selected DB Kayvon Webster with the 90th overall pick in the third round. Webster became the eighth Bulls defensive back to be selected in the NFL Draft, the most of any position in program history. He joined Mistral Raymond (Minnesota Vikings, 2011), Nate Allen (Philadelphia Eagles, 2010), Jerome Murphy (St. Louis Rams, 2010), Mike Jenkins (Dallas Cowboys, 2009), Trae Williams (Philadelphia Eagles, 2009), J.R. Reed (Philadelphia Eagles, 2004) and Anthony Henry (Cleveland Browns, 2001).
The fun continued on Saturday, when both LB Sam Barrington and QB B.J. Daniels heard their names called within five picks of each other. Barrington was chosen with the 232nd overall pick in the seventh round by the Green Bay Packers, while Daniels went to the San Francisco 49ers with the 237th overall pick in the seventh round. Daniels became the first USF quarterback to be drafted into the NFL.
Barrington was the fifth Bulls linebacker to be selected in the NFL Draft. He joined Jacquian Williams, who was selected in the sixth round by the New York Giants in 2011, Tyrone McKenzie, who was drafted in the third round by the New England Patriots in 2009, Stephen Nicholas, who was selected in the fourth round by the Atlanta Falcons in 2007, and Kawika Mitchell, who was picked in the second round of the 2003 draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Once the draft was completed, six other Bulls confirmed they would have the opportunity to join one of the 32 NFL franchises. Both DB George Baker and PK Maikon Bonani have landed with the Tennessee Titans, while OL Danous Estenor confirmed he'll be an Indianapolis Colt. DT Cory Grissom will join the New England Patriots, while TE Evan Landi will get his chance with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and OL Mark Popek expects to sign with the New York Jets.
We'll continue to monitor free-agent signings and bring you the news whenever we receive confirmations from any of the former Bulls.

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ edges marginally higher; Fed minutes, jobs data eyed
* Canadian dollar at C$1.3052 or 76.62 U.S. cents * Bond prices mostly lower across the maturity curve TORONTO, Oct 8 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar squeezed out a tiny gain against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday as crude oil prices edged higher. There was with little economic news to set the currencies' direction ahead of the release of the U.S. Federal Reserve's September meeting minutes later in the session and Canadian jobs data on Friday. Market participants are hoping the Fed minutes, due at 2:00 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT), will shed light on the central bank's view of the U.S. and global economies and timing for resuming interest rates hikes. * At 9:32 a.m. ET, the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.3052 to the greenback, or 76.62 U.S. cents, slightly firmer than the Bank of Canada's official close of C$1.3065, or 76.54 U.S. cents on Wednesday. * The currency was trading within a very narrow range, with the strongest level of the session touching C$1.3022 and the weakest at C$1.3074. * Canadian employment data for September is due on Friday at 8:30 a.m. EDT. * In economic data news, new home prices in Canada rose by 0.3 percent in August from July on continued strength in Ontario. Market analysts polled by Reuters had expected a 0.2 percent increase. * The number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits last week fell more than expected, by 13,000 to near a 42-year low, pointing to ongoing tightening in the labor market despite the recent slowdown in hiring. * Canadian government bond prices were mostly lower across the maturity curve, but the two-year price was flat to yield 0.532 percent, while the benchmark 10-year was also flat to yield 1.456 percent. * The Canada-U.S. two-year bond spread was -10.9 basis points, while the 10-year spread was -60.7 basis points.

California lawmakers break for Twain-inspired jumping-frog contest
By Sharon Bernstein
SACRAMENTO Calif. (Reuters) - California lawmakers set aside the business of running the most populous U.S. state on Wednesday to gather on the state capitol lawn to see who could coax a frog to hop the farthest in a contest inspired by Mark Twain's gold-rush tale, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County."
It was a warm, sunny day, so the amphibious athletes were kept in wet burlap bags in the shade for their own good until the contest got under way.
First up was Republican state Senator Tom Berryhill, also the master of ceremonies, whose district includes Calaveras County, where the Twain story was set and where the county fair for years has included a frog jump of its own.
A volunteer removed a squirming green creature with a speckled underbelly from one of the bags and handed it to Berryhill, who called him Watertight, Jr., which he said was the son of the frog he picked out of the bag last year.
The senator got down on his knees and placed the frog on a starting cushion and encouraged it to hop. The successful strategy involved creating a very loud thump by bringing his hands down on either side of the contestant.
The rules allowed for three hops, after which the volunteer dashed over with a measuring tape to establish that Watertight had traveled 5 feet, 1-1/2 inches.
Throughout the lunch hour and a little beyond, politicians and a few interns standing in as "frog jockeys" clapped, thumped and leapt alongside the heroic hoppers.
Jumping up and down to get some movement out of Collective Bargaining, the frog backed by American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, intern Brandon Roberts elicited a gasp from the crowd when it looked as if he might land on the frog. Collective Bargaining covered 9 feet, 6 inches. Continued...

Minority, coalition are options in Ontario vote
By Claire Sibonney
TORONTO (Reuters) - Polls point to a minority government in Canada's economic powerhouse of Ontario after provincial elections next week, amid disillusionment with the ruling Liberals and disappointment with their main rivals.
A landmark poll of 40,000 voters released over the weekend showed a tie between the Liberal and Progressive Conservative front-runners, with 35 percent voter support apiece.
But those figures, from an automated telephone poll, mean neither would get enough seats for a majority. Voting intentions were split -- urban voters favored the Liberals and rural voters backed the Conservatives.
"It could not have been any closer than that poll; they're not just statistically tied but pretty much exactly tied," said Lorne Bozinoff, president of pollster Forum Research.
The Liberals have ruled Ontario since 2003, steering the export-dependent province through a global recession that clobbered its manufacturing sector, while spending heavily on healthcare and education, and raising taxes.
The Conservatives promise to cut spending with the exception of health and education. They would scrap the Liberals' C$7 billion ($6.8 billion) green energy deal with South Korea's Samsung and stop paying big premiums for clean energy, which has driven up electricity bills.
Both parties intend to eliminate the province's C$16 billion deficit by 2017-18, without raising taxes.
Analysts say there are many possible outcomes to the vote. Some don't rule out an upset majority for the Conservatives, whose supporters are presumed "stickier" than rival parties' voters. Continued...

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The rooms had hairs all over--long hairs of someone who had been there before me. These hairs were in the bathroom and in the room, including on or around the bed. Maybe the hairs belong to the house cleaning personnel, the beds having fresh, clean sheets, not used sheets.
The hotel was very clean and the staff were very helpful, Poor wifi reception
It was ok Fitness area its to small
I booked a suite for a whole week and I ended up leaving the next day the fridge was not working and I orginally booked for a king size bed and I ended up getting two full size beds and It was scary something is not right in that hotel
evritin was perfect exept my reservation was no in the sistem at my chek in :( the check inn was no good. my name was nonin the sistem they dont know about my arrival
The hotel was very clean. And the price was good. I did like evertitng
The hotel is clean and safe and the staff is very helpful. No airport shuttle and wifi did not work 99% of the time.
Location and memories, I would have liked a better view .
The staff was very welcoming and attentive. The location was perfect! We stayed in a luxury suite and the view was amazing. The rooms were clean and comforting. The food at the restaurant was delicious. Servers were polite and welcoming also. We stayed for 5 nights and it was like being at home. Very unexpected yet VERY satisfied and happily surprised. Also, the driver that the hotel provided for shuttle service from the Airport was very nice and welcoming! Hector Lozano provided excellent transportation and was accessibly available to take us on sight seeing throughout Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, and Dolores Hidalgo as well as around Leon. Highly recommend that you request for his services. =)
Room was Clean, staff was friendly even though not much English spoken, usually could find someone on staff to communicate. Good price for accommodations available in the area. at the end of our stay, we were told there was a 'hotel' taxi that we could've utilized instead of having to arrange for all the taxi's that we had to make arrangements for. Then we were told that it wasn't available Monday or Tuesday. Very confusing.
Rooms were very large, bed very comfortable. Nice kitchenette, nice size bathroom with an extra sink and mirror separate from the bathroom was very nice amenity. There is lots of road construction in front of the hotel, making getting there more difficult and also left you with a less than appealing view. The hallways are very old and seem to need updating. Room is big but appliances are very old, safe didn't work
The stuff member were friendly I had my hair and makeup done at the spa the guy who did the service was ok but the stuff wasn t at all professional they need more training and learn how to give a client an experience
The hotel we liked a lot, everything was very clean and comfortable, the hotel looks like new. This in a good area close to restaurants and shops. all the staff was very helpful to us. I recommend it 100% It is a hotel to rest and be away from the business area is a 15 minute drive of downtown
If you're comming to Leon for business, I highly recommend this hotel. Clean, comfortable hotel and a professional staff make you feel welcomed. Hotel has a reliable transportation contract with a local team of new and clean, comfortable cars and SUVs. Highly recommended.
I love the hotel
Just steps away from the bus station and shopping in leather district. Room was clean, quiet, comfortable and offered amenities such as free coffee and water. Indoor swimming pool was nice and warm. Staff were always friendly and helpful. McDonnalds was right next door as well as other food venues. Best nights sleep.
Lots of conveniences and very nice rooms. I enjoyed the pool and free internet access. The staff is attentive and friendly. The restaurant is pretty, the food is average. My only disappointment was that most of the equipment in the gym was broken. Within walking distance of the shoe/leather stores Leon is famous for. Airport shuttle available for a price.

But my father, my beloved and most wretched father... Would he never overcome the fierce passion that now held pitiless dominion over him?With its shocking theme of father-daughter incest, Mary Shelley's publisher—her father, known for his own subversive books—not only refused to publish Mathilda, he refused to return her only copy of the manuscript, and the work was never published in her lifetime. His suppression of this passionate novella is perhaps understandable—unlike her first book, Frankenstein, written a year earlier, Mathilda uses fantasy to study a far more personal reality. It tells the story of a young woman whose mother died in her childbirth—just as Shelly's own mother died after hers—and whose relationship with her bereaved father becomes sexually charged as he conflates her with his lost wife, while she becomes involved with a handsome poet. Yet despite characters clearly based on herself, her father, and her husband, the narrator's emotional and relentlessly self-examining voice lifts the story beyond autobiographical resonance into something more transcendent: a driven tale of a brave woman's search for love, atonement, and redemption. It took more than a century before the manuscript Mary Shelley gave her father was rediscovered. It is published here as a stand-alone volume for the first time. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.

Moisture concerns building against a brick wall (PICTURES)
Not my first post, but close enough. I'm looking to build a small storage shed, but I'm worried about the shed up against the brick. I rather not build onto (anchor) the brick wall, but instead having it be a freestanding structure with its own back wall.
Those skids on the ground would make the foundation. Left over from this project.
Quick and ugly sketch-up.
So if I make the back wall let's say plywood or OSB, how can I protect the brick from moisture damage? Tar paper? A housewrap product? Ideally the shed would be backed up against the wall as much as possible.
Otherwise, I've been suggested to leave air an air gap (anywhere from 1-6 inches) or just have studs up against the brick without sheathing, which I'm not averse to, I'd just like to hear more comments.
Main concerns are damage to the wall/leaving permanent marks if the shed had to be moved or torn down.
Personally I think I would attach a ledger board to the brick just below the siding line and build off it, using the brick as the back wall of the shed. Could flash and caulk the transition from siding to shed roof. That way you're not destroying the brick and also not leaving a gap. My least favorite option would be building a separate structure with a 1" gap to the house.
Did you climb a tree to get that photo for the sketchup?? If so, nice job haha
What if you consider raising the top of the shed roof up about a foot higher and lagging it to the trim that runs above the window? Then you're screwing into a replaceable wood piece and you can run the back wall down flush to the brick without damaging it. Snug the foundation up against the brick at the bottom and then nail the bottom plate down solidly there so you dont have to go into the brick at the bottom either.
You say nail the bottom plate down solidly "there" - where?
Thanks for the help guys.
"You say nail the bottom plate down solidly "there" - where?"
What kind of foundation/piers/platform - are you going to place the
shed on?
Sorry, missed "skids" in your first post!
The skids/plywood/"PT" 2 X 4's - would be what {Dane Hitchins} is
referring to - to secure it to.
Knowing that: the shed will move separately from the house.
Also, probably use "PT", plywood ?!
Just wasn't sure.
PT...pressure treated...
Yes! :)

This is a summary of the European public assessment report (EPAR) for Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva. It explains how the Agency assessed the medicine to recommend its authorisation in the EU and its conditions of use. It is not intended to provide practical advice on how to use Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva.
For practical information about using Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva, patients should read the package leaflet or contact their doctor or pharmacist.
- What is Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva and what is it used for?
Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva is used to control hyperphosphataemia (high blood phosphate levels) in:
- adult patients on dialysis (a blood clearance technique). It can be used in patients undergoing haemodialysis (using a blood filtration machine) or peritoneal dialysis (where fluid is pumped into the abdomen and an internal body membrane filters the blood).
- adult patients with chronic (long-term) kidney disease who are not on dialysis and have a serum (blood) phosphorus level equal to or above 1.78 mmol/l.
Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva should be used with other treatments such as calcium supplements and vitamin D to prevent the development of bone disease.
Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva contains the active substance sevelamer carbonate. This medicine is the same as Renvela, which is already authorised in the European Union (EU). The company that makes Renvela has agreed that its scientific data can be used for Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva ('informed consent').
- How is Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva used?
Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva is available as tablets (800 mg) and as a powder (2.4 g) to be made up into a suspension to be taken by mouth. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
The recommended starting dose of Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva depends on the clinical need and the level of phosphate in the blood, and ranges from 2.4 to 4.8 g per day. Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva must be taken three times a day with meals and patients should keep to their prescribed diets.
The dose of Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva should be adjusted every two to four weeks to reach an acceptable level of phosphate in the blood, which should then be monitored regularly. The tablets should be taken whole and the suspension should be taken within 30 minutes of being prepared.
- How does Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva work?
Patients with severe kidney disease cannot eliminate phosphate from their bodies. This leads to phosphate accumulating in the body, which, in the long term, can cause complications such as heart disease. The active substance in Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva, sevelamer carbonate, is a phosphate binder. When taken with meals, the sevelamer molecules in sevelamer carbonate attach to phosphate from food within the gut, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. This helps to reduce the phosphate levels in the blood.
- What benefits of Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva have been shown in studies?
Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva has been shown to be as effective as another medicine, Renagel (which also contains sevelamer but as the hydrochloride salt) in reducing blood phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease who were on dialysis. In two crossover studies, 110 patients (who had all previously taken oral phosphate binder treatment, and most of whom took vitamin D) were treated for four or eight weeks with either Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva or Renagel, and then had their treatment switched. In the two studies, the average amount of phosphate in the blood during treatments with Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva or Renagel was similar.
Another study looked at the effect of Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva in 49 patients with high blood phosphate levels (equal to or above 1.78 mmol/l) who were not on dialysis. After eight weeks of treatment, the average amount of phosphate in the blood was reduced by about a fifth, from 2.0 mmol/l to 1.6 mmol/l.
- What are the risks associated with Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva?
The most common side effects with Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva (seen in more than 1 patient in 10) are nausea (feeling sick), vomiting, upper abdominal pain (stomach ache) and constipation.
Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva must not be used in people with hypophosphataemia (low blood phosphate levels) or with bowel obstruction (a blockage in the gut). For the full list of all side effects and restrictions with Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva, see the package leaflet.
- Why is Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva approved?
The Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva's benefits are greater than its risks and recommended that it be approved for use in the EU. The CHMP considered that treatment with Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva has a beneficial effect in lowering blood phosphate levels without major safety concerns. Although the Committee noted that the study in patients not on dialysis was small, it concluded that the medicine can also be used in these patients because they have the same underlying disease as those on dialysis and therefore similar effectiveness can be expected.
- What measures are being taken to ensure the safe and effective use of Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva?
A risk management plan has been developed to ensure that Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva is used as safely as possible. Based on this plan, safety information has been included in the summary of product characteristics and the package leaflet for Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva, including the appropriate precautions to be followed by healthcare professionals and patients.
In addition, the company that markets Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva will make sure that educational material is available in all Member States for patients and healthcare professionals. This material will include information on the risk and prevention of peritonitis (inflammation of the lining of the abdomen) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, arterio-venous fistula (an abnormal passageway between an artery and a vein) in patients undergoing haemodialysis, and vitamin deficiency in patients with chronic kidney disease.
- Other information about Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva
The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union for Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva on 15 January 2015.
For more information about treatment with Sevelamer carbonate Zentiva, read the package leaflet (also part of the EPAR) or contact your doctor or pharmacist.

House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Tom Price, M.D. (R-GA) issued the following statement after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released an update to its Budget and Economic Outlook. CBO estimates a $1.1 trillion deficit for Fiscal Year 2012 as well as weak economic growth and high unemployment in the future.
"Today's report by the Congressional Budget Office is a clear reflection of President Obama's failure to lead this nation, to keep his promises, and to implement policies that promote growth and opportunity," said Chairman Price. "After the president said he would cut the deficit in half, the nation has suffered four straight years of deficits over $1 trillion. Despite claiming his economic policies have worked, we see that threatening ever higher taxes to chase ever higher spending and saddling families and businesses with new mandates and red tape produce an economy that is underperforming. Those policies are leaving millions of Americans behind. That's the legacy this president is leaving our children and grandchildren.
"What the CBO has made abundantly clear is that we cannot allow massive tax increases to occur next year and we ought to address our debt challenges in a responsible way. The Senate is playing politics with the threat of further economic decline by failing to act to avoid the year-end fiscal cliff. The failure of Senate Democrats and President Obama to lead on this front is entirely unacceptable. House Republicans have put plans on the table that would get our fiscal house in order while saving and strengthening vital programs like Medicare that millions of America's seniors depend upon. We have passed in the House of Representatives a plan to stop the massive tax increases on all Americans and put in place a plan to reform America's tax code so we can lower rates, broaden the base, and eliminate loopholes and special interest carve outs. This work must be done. House Republicans have a plan to avoid a fiscal cliff and get our economy moving again."

The organizer of a parent protest in Harrington this week says an 11-year-old boy accused of molesting an 8-year-old boy is no longer at Harrington Elementary School.
We're told the school district is still providing him an education.
SAD 37 Superintendent Ronald Ramsay says he can't comment on the status of the student, who's charged with gross sexual assault.
Parents say the abuse took place at a birthday party last fall.
Dozens of parents marched on the Superintendent's office this week, wondering why the 11-year-old hadn't been removed from the school.
Ramsay told them since it didn't happen at school, or at a school-sanctioned event, his hands were tied.
He says the district plans to review policies on sexual misconduct, bullying and harrassment.
The parents of the 8-year-old have enrolled him and his younger sister in private school.

The Storm Worm
News Alert: 230 Dead As Storm Batters Europe
Or, at least, that's what one of the latest subject lines of a new worm that, according to F-Secure, is battering the shores of the Internet. I have received mixed reports on the actual widespread damage that this is actually causing, but it is a threat nonetheless and it's my job to keep you all informed.
The Storm Worm, Small.DAM and W32/Nuwar worm are using current news topics as the "hook" in e-mail subject lines to lure unsuspecting users into opening the .exe payload attachments. Subject lines, such as one of the following, have all been used:
- "A Killer at 11"
- "He's free at 21″
- "British Muslims Genocide"
- "Naked Teens Attack Home Director"
- "U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Has Kicked German Chancellor Angela Merkel"
- "Castro is Dead"
Attached to these enticing e-mails are executable files with titles that seem to further the facade with promises, such as a "Live Video," "Full Clip" or "Full Story." You get the point and hopefully, you know these attachments are the viruses. The virus opens a back door, allowing remote access to your system for unwanted and unknown uses.
The worm also installs a rootkit, which if you're not familiar, is a type of virus that installs to the kernel of the operating system and hides certain files so they can go on working undisturbed and un-noticed. The infected machine also becomes a zombie in a botnet network of infected PCs that work together for a common purpose. In most botnets, the PCs communicate with one central server, which if located and dismantled, will render the botnet useless.
In the case of the Storm Worm, the bot network is more peer to peer in nature with no centralized server. This creates new problems in stopping the network, if discovered, because if some of the machines are disabled, the network can cut its losses and continue with the mission. Another unique characteristic of the Storm Worm's networking is the subset of IP addresses that it has. In order to cover its trail, the infected PCs do not contain a list of all the IP addresses of the PCs in its botnet, but rather, a limited number of 30 to 35 or so. This keeps the botnet, if discovered, from revealing too much about the other machines and the network in general so that the rest of the undiscovered network is safe.
In addition to this, the botnet also is a very motivated updater. In some cases, receiving more than an update an hour. Geesh! That could be a problem for antivirus companies to try and come up with virus signatures.
Well, so far, this seems like a threat. It's almost like an uber virus. It has a solution to all of our conventional practices that can stop such a threat. I don't think this is entirely true though. There is one huge oversight that the creators of the Storm Worm, in my opinion, have failed to notice and this is the reason some security experts are saying the home users, not the corporate world, will see more damage from this viral attack. The reason is simple. It is an executable file attached to an unsolicited e-mail from an unknown source, which means what?
It means, under no circumstance, should it ever be opened. This is the oldest trick in the virus book and you all should know better. In addition to this, most ISPs and Webmail providers are going to scrutinize an executable attachment sent in an e-mail.
This means it always comes back to fundamentals. Don't open attachments that you don't expect and you should be safe. If you do, for some reason, download them, scan them before opening them with your installed antivirus program and you should be good to go.
If you do see something interesting in the subject line and are intrigued to the point of insanity, open up a Web browser and do a search for the topic and read it outside of your e-mail.
If you do find that you have been infected, the best thing to do at this point is to go to your antivirus vendor's Web site and look up the threat. You may be able to do an online scanner or some other procedure to remove the virus from your system.
That's all I have for you today. Until next week, stay away from those attachments!

Taking Stock Of UVM's Expansion Strategy
07/13/11 7:50AM By John Dillon, Lynne McCrea
| Download MP3
UVM At A Crossroads
(Host) The University of Vermont has been in a growth phase. In the last decade, the school has invested more than $400 million on renovation and construction. And its undergraduate student body has grown from about 7,400 10 years ago to more than 10,000 today.
The expansion plan was the cornerstone of President Dan Fogel's strategy to shore up the school's financial base and to build revenues for the future.
Has the plan succeeded? In the second part of our series, UVM At A Crossroads, VPR's John Dillon takes a closer look at the results of the Fogel strategy.
(Protesters) Fight for jobs and education not for Fogel's administration!
(Dillon) On a chilly February day in 2009, students protested UVM's plan to lay off 16 workers.
The job cuts were a response to a budget shortfall. But the students - and some of their professors - charged the crisis was more a case of misplaced priorities. They wanted President Fogel's team to cut senior administrative salaries, not adjunct professors or maintenance workers. The crowd was surprised when they spotted Fogel walk down a nearby stairwell.
(Protesters) "Hey that's Fogel! That's Fogel! Boo!
(Dillon) The UVM president did not come out and talk to the demonstrators. Two years later, Fogel says he regrets that.
(Fogel) "One thing I wish, looking back, that I had done in '08 and '09 was to be more publicly appreciative of the passions and commitment of the people protesting. I wish I had said it at the time. I'm saying it now."
(Dillon) Katherine Nopper was one of those students whose passion for UVM led to protests.
These days, she works in downtown Burlington for a law firm. And she looks back at her time at UVM with some sadness.
(Nopper) "It's just somehow, no matter the amount of us who were there saying we want UVM to stay this way; we want to preserve what makes UVM special, it was taken away."
(Dillon) Nopper says that with faculty cuts and a larger student enrollment, she saw some of her classes get bigger over time - a complaint that continues to be heard on campus today.
(Fox) "I didn't have a big class until like second semester sophomore year."
(Dillon) Amanda Fox just graduated from UVM. She's on campus this summer helping out with student orientation.
(Fox) "My professors all knew who I was, then all of I sudden I was one of a hundred students and not getting that attention."
(Dillon) Class size can be an important factor in a student's overall academic experience. Smaller classes make it easier for students to forge a personal bond with their professors, a connection that can help launch their careers.
Evan Crockett is a senior at UVM who's taking a summer course in physics. He says professors are still available to students, even if some classes are larger.
(Crockett) "And if you seek them out you can find them in office hours. And ultimately the reason they teach is they love students and want to pass knowledge on."
(Dillon) Statistics show that, over the last three years, there aren't quite as many classes offered with fewer than 40 students. In that same time, the number of courses with more than 40 students has increased.
But relative to all the courses offered, the shift is small -- within a percent, or less, of a change in either direction.
Still, UVM sells itself as a small but high-quality research institution, where students work closely with their teachers.
Frank Bryan, a long time political science professor, says that reputation may be at risk.
(Bryan) "Whenever you have growth like that and economic problems you pay the price. And we paid the price on class size. I think the great challenge is to maintain the university we advertise, which is a human-scale university with interaction with professors, when you send a lot of kids into classes with 80-90-100-200 students in large lecture halls."
(Vigoreaux) "My lab is a microcosm of what's going on at UVM."
(Dillon) Dr. Jim Vigoreaux is Professor and Chairman of the Biology Department, where the number of students doing research has more than doubled over the past 5 years. Vigoreaux says the increase has taken a toll on the faculty who oversee all those students. But he says the extra work benefits students and professors alike.
(Vigoreaux) "So yes, it's been an increase in workload for all of us, but, I know I speak for a lot of my colleagues in saying that this is something we strongly believe in and it's a chore that we're very happy to do."
(Dillon) President Dan Fogel says the school expanded enrollment without sacrificing the classroom experience. He says UVM's student teacher ratio places it among the top 10 percent of public universities for class size.
(Fogel) "Being in the top 10 percent given the constraints that we face in a sparsely populated state with relatively low public support seems to me to be very good."
(Dillon) Among public universities, UVM's academic rankings have fallen from their height in the late 1990s, according to the authoritative US News and World Report. UVM has not regained that stature, but the rankings did rise somewhat under Fogel, though last year UVM fell slightly to 41st among public institutions.
And there is another statistic that Fogel does not mention: the number of non-teaching administrators and vice presidents has grown under his leadership. And the growth in UVM bureaucracy became a sore point during the recent budget debates.
(Welch) "I went through and discovered in 2001 there were three top administrators whose base salaries were half a million. Today, not including the med school, there are 49 top administrators whose salaries top $8 million."
(Dillon) Nancy Welch is an English professor who has delved deep into UVM budget documents.
At the height of the budget debate two years ago, a UVM whistleblower told Welch that some of those administrators had been rewarded with five figure bonuses.
(Welch) "We're not spending the money in the right way. Just between 2005 and 2010 the share of the operating budget going to academics fell from just above 50 percent to quite a bit below 50 percent. That's where the crisis is."
(Dillon) Garrison Nelson has taught political science at UVM for 43 years. He admires Fogel's scholarship, and his efforts to raise the academic bar at UVM. But Nelson says the executive bonuses sent the wrong message at a time when the budget cutbacks fell largely on lower-level staff and part time professors.
(Nelson) "These were secretive and these were lucrative. And when they were discovered, it was explained, 'this is how you do business.' Well, we're not a business, we're presumably a public university."
(Dillon) Nelson says the positive achievements of Fogel's first seven years on the job were overshadowed by the president's response to the budget difficulties.
(Nelson) "The problem is the more you surround yourself... with people whose jobs and salaries are dependent on your good will, the less likely you will get an honest opinion. And that's what really undermined his legacy in the last two years."
(Dillon) Fogel disputes Nelson's analysis. And he cites a statistical study that shows UVM does not have too many administrators for a school of its size. The president says some of the administrators were hired to deal with the complex documentation required for the school's increasing amount of federal grants.
(Fogel) "I think there is a significant gap between perception, and what is in fact the case."
(Dillon) While the overall image of UVM has risen under Fogel's tenure, the perception on campus is that Fogel's leadership eroded over the last few years. English professor Philip Baruth says Fogel was viewed in very positive terms, but that many of his initiatives had their downsides.
(Baruth) "Having to do with the size and in some ways the lavishness of them. And that accumulated to the point where when we were facing these huge budget cuts three years ago, you could almost feel Fogel's mojo slip away."
(Dillon) Now, Fogel is devoting his considerable energies to solving a budget problem that has not gone away.
In his message to trustees this spring, Fogel told the board that unless things change, the school faces a $120 million budget shortfall in five years.
For VPR News, I'm John Dillon.
In part three of our series, we'll explore the challenges facing UVM's next president.

Wizards Name Zierden As Assistant Coach
"I know what kind of man and what kind of coach Don is from our time together in Minnesota, Detroit, La Crosse and Tulsa," said Saunders. "Don has an astute mind for the game of basketball, and that's why he's been a successful teacher at the high school ranks, in college, the CBA, the WNBA and the NBA. He brings a wealth of experience and ability to our staff."
Zierden comes to Washington after spending the previous two seasons as the head coach of the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx. Zierden's coaching career has also included time spent under Saunders with the Detroit Pistons (2005-06) and Minnesota Timberwolves (1999-2005), and his working relationship with Saunders extends through the years he served on Saunders' staff at the University of Tulsa (1986-88) and in the Continental Basketball Association with the La Crosse Catbirds (1990-94, including winning the 1992 CBA Championship). Additionally, Zierden has been the head coach of the CBA's Pittsburgh Piranhas (where he took Pittsburgh to the CBA Finals in 1995), and the La Crosse Bobcats.
"I couldn't pass on the opportunity to work with Flip again," said Zierden. "With the staff that he has assembled, and the great talent that is already in place on the roster, I'm extremely enthusiastic to get to Washington and to begin helping this team reach the next level on the court."

Drug combination may provide option to patients with NSCLC ineligible for bevacizumabApril 03, 2012
CHICAGO - A combination of nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer may be a promising option for patients ineligible for treatment with bevacizumab, according to data presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012, held here March 31 - April 4.
"The combination of carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel demonstrates promising efficacy with tolerable toxicity in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ineligible for therapy with bevacizumab," said Gregory A. Otterson, M.D., professor of internal medicine, co-director of the thoracic oncology program and associate director of the hematology and medical oncology fellowship program at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio.
Otterson and colleagues evaluated the drug combination in 63 patients with advanced NSCLC. Seventy-six percent of patients had squamous histology, making them ineligible for bevacizumab. Other contraindications for bevacizumab among this patient population included hemoptysis, thrombosis and therapeutic anticoagulation. Researchers assigned patients to 300 mg/m2/AUC6, which was later adjusted to 260 mg/m2/AUC6 due to excess neuropathy, every 21 days.
Researchers found an overall response rate of 41 percent among 53 patients available for evaluation. An additional 39 percent of patients had stable disease for at least six weeks. Disease progressed in 19 percent of patients.
"We have been surprised at the durability of response with some patients not requiring further treatment for at least six months," Otterson said.
More than 10 percent of patients had grade 3 to 4 toxicities, including hematologic toxicity, febrile neutropenia, infection, sensory neuropathy, dyspnea and dehydration; researchers reported four deaths as grade 5 toxicities. "This combination treatment should be an option, particularly for patients with squamous histology who have limited alternative options," Otterson said.

Anyways, I wanted to play with a few of my fun new colors, and was immediately drawn to the combination of Wizard's Wand and Without You. Here's what I came up with!
• L'Oreal Lacquer Liner in blackest black
• Estee Lauder lipstick in rose amethyst
• Cargo blush in beach
• CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion mascara
• L'Oreal Power Volume Collagen mascara in black
Before starting this eye look, I've prepared my eye area with Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It is very slightly tacky, so it really grabs on to the loose shadows pretty well. I pat each shadow into it's location, and then blend everything afterwards.
Once the shadows are in place I blend a bit. I lined with the gel eye liner (love this stuff, it lasts forever!), and then applied the 2 mascaras. I love applying the L'Oreal first, which really grabs each lash and adds crazy volume. Putting the CoverGirl on afterwards does add volume and length, but it also really lets me be sure that there aren't any clumps or tangles.

If multi-room audio sounds like a cool idea to you, you'd be right. It is cool: very darn cool. It isn't, however, cheap. For instance, you can get the Sonos BU150 bundle for £699. but you're still going to have to buy some speakers for one room and have an existing stereo system in the other. Meanwhile, the Logitech Squeezebox Duet will set you back £280 before you even start to think about the equipment you'll need to go with it. These, then, are best suited to discerning technophiles/audiophiles and on the more extreme end of the spectrum one could get a custom install, but this is even less of a reality for normal folk than the Sonos' and Squeezeboxes of this world.
Help is at hand, though, in the shape of all-in-one systems from likes of Philips and today's contender, Sony. We're looking at the Sony Giga Juke NAS-SC55PKE Multi-Room package and though not strictly an all-in-one - unlike the Philips Streamium WACS7500 its speakers are separate - it does include everything you need for a multi-room setup.
Indeed, if its £559 asking price may still sound like a lot of money, when you consider you are getting absolutely everything you need to enjoy music in more than one room, a fully featured stereo hi-fi with amplifier and speakers, plus what is effectively an 80GB NAS box, the value is clear for anyone to see.
Perhaps it is best we start with exactly what you get in the box, since there is lot stuff in there. At the centre of it all is the Giga Juke Music Server that houses the 80GB HDD (63GB Free), the integrated stereo amplifier and the accompanying speakers. This set can be bought separately as the Giga Juke NAS-S55HDE and would set you back around £400.
Naturally enough it comes with all the usual accessories such as a remote control (batteries included), antennas for the integrated FM, AM and DAB radio tuners, speaker ccables as well as speaker pads. In addition there's a Digital Media Port iPod dock that plugs into the back, a USB Wireless Adapter and extender cable to enable wireless networking. It's a shame this isn't integrated, as it is on the Philips Streamium WACS7500, but it's likely a symptom of the unit being sold separately as a non-wireless system as well.
In this package the Music Server is joined by the Giga Juke Wireless Player NAS-C5E. Like the Music Server it can be purchased separately, this time for around the £200 mark, to add extra rooms to your setup. You also get a remote control with batteries supplied and unlike the Music Server the wireless element is thankfully integrated.
Can you confirm that internet radio is possible through the main unit. I could only see this feature on the smaller remote units? Thanks for a great review, i have been waiting for this one a long time.
Xdock wirelessdoes mainly the same thing - streams music wirelessly but costs far less - some 㿲 if I remember well. It has no hard drive but you simply use an iPod instead.
But its beauty is you can expand the system to as many rooms as you want by getting another dongle that you hook up to any speaker set you have already and it comes with a remote, too. Strange it wasn't mentioned in the review at all.
In answer to Ed, the Internet Radio is supported in the Wireless Players only.
Thanks for that Andy. Seems very odd, it is the only thing missing from what is the perfect bedroom stereo.
Good review.
Is the hard-drive easily accessible? I was thinking in terms of hacking and upgrading to a much larger drive?
Is it possible to stream music from the server's DAB/FM radio and connected iPod to the wireless players
Hello, I am absolutely fascinated by the idea of having ma large CD collection on one hard drive. The system sounds great but I could do without the speakers and I would love to have it a bit smaller in size with more GB as I would connect it to our Kenwood system. I need a CD ripper and some USB ports etc but not really all the
Does anyone have an idea what to choose or is there really only the Sony... (I do not like the pHillips).
Thanks for your help.
Purchased this last week - excellent in all aspects - sound quality good, connections to wi fi easy - cd ripping easy - dab quality superb - compact and elegant in looks.
I really cannot fault this except had expected to get DAB from remote unit which it doesnt - only internet radio which i dont want otherwise 10/10 and i obtained product for 𧻦 including delivery
Can anyone help me? My unit says that it,s connected to the internet and my wireless unit works fine. although i,ve not entered any codes such as the WEP security. My problem is that my unit is not giving me any album art through the grace note program. Does anyone know how to this? The only way i can do it is to put all my album art on a usb and do it sepratly but it,s now becoming a pain in the A**E
I've just bought this and two wireless players. Overall it is good ...but I've very dissapointed with the internet radio as all it gets {via firmware coding} is ShoutCast and Live365. Which is great if you do not want to listen to British radio stations such as Radio 1,2,3,4 etc and Classic FM. Contacted Sony who, I felt, were a bit offhand about it all and blamed the UK radio transmission laws. I see it as: the systen is advertised with "...Internet Radio" and it should allow one to connect to just that; not just two websites chosen by Sony Plc. Any way around this rather limiting factor? Make my New Year a treat if this could be fixed!.
In many ways a nice product which does what it says on the tin BUT
When I purchased it I asked if it could be conected to my computor and was told YES
BUT the conectivity is very limited you can download from your PC, or a CD, or MP3 tracks on a stick, or IPOD.
UNFORTUNATLY YOU CANNOT UPLOAD FROM THE GIGAJUKE TO ANY DEVICE or ACCESS ANYTHING ON YOUR GIGAJUKE BY ANY OTHER DEVICE.
Sorry about the shouting but I was so ****ed off by discovering that an expensive bit of 'modern' kit was so user unfriendly.
Be especially carefull since it is being sold in stores as 'Networking with your PC' it dosn't! I also think you could achieve most of its features for about 1/4 of the price using your own PC.
David- have a feeling that you can backup data from the Giga Juke to a Pc. In fact the book recommends that you do this periodically. Requires an old fashioned FAT 32 format, too! I'm going to take my issues on internet radio further. I'm not happy with this aspect of the kit; especially from a manufacturer of the calibre of Sony.
What the specifications should tell you...
Main unit has no internet radio.
Internet radio on remote unit is locked to Live365 and ShoutCast.
Remote unit has no DAB radio.
Display on remote unit is tiny making navigation difficult.
Remote controls feel like they are from the 80's.
Be very sure of what you aim to achieve with this product and check carefully that it will fulfill this. I had a customer that had bought the Gigajuke and wanted it set up. After a few questions on what exactly she wanted from it, I realised that she had been ill advised on the purchase. She wanted to listen to, her itunes collection, internet radio stations saved in itunes, DAB and CDs in two rooms. She returned the Sony and I set her up with a multiroom system using apple airport express units and her existing hi-fi equipment for a fraction of the cost.
Don't just presume it is a good product because it is Sony, they can make mistakes aswell!
Is it possible to stream and play music from my laptop to the main Giga Juke unit?
I bought this product over 6-months ago, primarily because I already own several Sony products and thought this would be compatible with my other electronics gadgets. However, as others have discovered, all is not as it seems with this product.
First, the good points:
• The xDJ function is fantastic, it categorises your music and means you don not have to muck around with playlists.
• The party mode is also very good and is great for when you have guests.
The bad points:
• Very poor, fiddly, slow and user-unfriendly interface.
• Inability to connect to a PC via WiFi and the system keeps asking for password in order to connect. Sony staff does not know this password - If anyone has managed to crack this, I will appreciate an idea of the password.
• Inability to connect to an external amplifier i.e. audio out connector.
• Proprietary connectors on the speakers? Why? This means I am stuck with the speakers and cannot change to better quality speakers.
• It is a shame that the 'party mode' will not work with other sony products – especially the PS3. Surely this should only be a minor software mod.
• Very tatty and poor remote control – one with a screen ala SONOS will work much better.
• Although the client speakers are less than 15m way from the Jukebox, sometimes the connection is temporarily lost and the clients 'freeze'.
. Can't stream from my iPoD or the DAB radio.
In short disapointing - I wish I'd bought the SONOS …:(
HI. I bought this system a few weeks ago and I am merrily adding my CD collection to it. No real issues so far in that respect. A question for everyone though who has or uses the wireless network station. I have mine in the bedroom and have been using it as an alarm clock - waking to my favorite tunes. Until recently! The unit switches on at the correct time, selects the correct source for music, but then enters the 'pause' mode. Which is abviously uselss as an alarm!!! Anyone any ideas on the cause or better the solution? Is it a setting somewhere? I have tried to rest to factory settings and rebooted both units - but no luck so far. Every source of music I have tried starts up in the paused play mode.
Other than that I have been reasonably satisfied with the system. Bought on-line for less than £500
I bought this system for £299.00 at Power - very glad I did not pay any more than that. You cannot stream radio from room to room. You get FM/AM and DAB on the main unit, but only Live365 or Shoutcast internet radio on the remote unit - no BBC stations available at all. Operation and setting up of both units is over complex and awkward. The main unit is slow to react to the remote commands when swapping functions, I thought I was getting something to stream stored music AND radio around the house, but that's not the case. I thought buying Sony would ensure I got a quality product, but I'm very dissappointed.
I have just bought a Sony Gigajuke NAS-SC55PKE, and expect to receive it tomorrow. (11th Aug). Most of my music collection is on my PC in mp3 format. Some web pages say it is possible to upload from PC to the NAS-SC55PKE, but the manual I have downloaded does not mention this. I have some questions:-
1. Is it possible to transfer mp3's from my PC to my NAS-SC55PKE?
2. Is it possible to transfer mp3's from a USB to my NAS-SC55PKE?
3. Is it possible to transfer mp3's from a data CD to my NAS-SC55PKE?
Is yes to any of these questions, further information on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
how can i buy it online ?

So a preacher, a comedian, and a scientist walk into a bar...
Okay, I'll spare you that joke, but all of the above comprised Harry Smith's theological roundtable in the second half hour of today's Early Show. The question for Jerry Falwell, Andy Borowitz, and Bill Nye "the Science Guy," was, "Is God mad at us," given all the natural disasters---tsunami, hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides---that have beset the planet since last December.
It's an odd theological panel to have, and a relatively unserious segment given the makeup of the panel. If Smith's intent were to have a theological discussion, he'd have been better served by having perhaps a Catholic priest, Falwell, a Jewish rabbi, and an Islamic imam to showcase theological opinions from those four faiths. Instead the audience was served an odd mishmash of Falwell expounding on Christian doctrine, Bill Nye plugging global warming, and Andy Borowitz jokingly blaming Paris Hilton for flooding in the Northeast.
But then, what else should we expect from Harry?

A blazing petrol tanker has blocked parts of the M25 near Potters Bar.
The vehicle caught fire early this morning causing significant tailbacks anti-clockwise between Junction 24 and 25 of the motorway, with motorists stuck stationary and some even getting out of their cars.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) attended the incident at around 6.30am, with firefighters managing to contain the fire to the cab of the vehicle and stopping the fire from affecting the fuel tanker.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, but the LFB released a statement saying there was no fuel spillage, and that the Environment Agency had confirmed that there was no impact to the local area.
Writing on Twitter, the LFB said: "Traffic on M25 Westbound between j25-24 after a tanker fire. We contained the fire to the cab & stopped the fuel from igniting. No injuries."
Eye witness Harry Cottam later tweeted: "AVOID the M25 tanker on fire....queued for 45mins in A10 and people are out walking around on M25 #traffic."
One lane of the M25 anti-clockwise between Junction 25 and 24 has now reopened but there are still long delays. The authorities are advising people to avoid the area where possible.

ChamberChoice presentation made
The Indiana County Chamber of Commerce, Thompson McLay Insurance and Penn National Insurance recently presented Fairman Roof Trusses Inc. of Creekside with an award certificate acknowledging their participation in the ChamberChoice insurance program.
Fairman Roof Trusses received a check through a program created exclusively for chamber members through Penn National Insurance and ChamberChoice. The program has averaged payouts of more than 10 percent of the participating member's total business insurance premiums, returning more than $2 million in dividends to chamber members in the past two years.
"This program is just one of many great benefits that are available through chamber membership," said Jim Struzzi, president of the chamber of commerce.
The business insurance dividend program is only available to chamber members through ChamberChoice.
