Looking for a fair go

The Prime Minister is in for a shock next week when he visits a Top End community akin to a Third World shanty town. Lindsay Murdoch reports.
Theodora Narndu has gathered 39 family members outside her decrepit two-room house to reinforce her message to the Prime Minister.
"We want to be people living a normal life in our country as Australian citizens," says the 63-year-old Aboriginal elder as she fusses over her grandchildren.
John Howard may be shocked by what he sees in Wadeye next week during a rare visit to a remote Aboriginal community.
The town with the biggest Aboriginal population in the Northern Territory, 270 kilometres south-west of Darwin, looks like a refugee camp in a Third World country.
An average 17 people are cramped into each sweltering, graffiti-covered house. Almost half the population is under 15; most of the children have had no formal education and cannot speak English; many grow up not knowing their fathers who are dead or in jail; infant mortality is four times the national average; life expectancy is 20 years less than that of non-indigenous Australians; and only 4 per cent of people of working age have mainstream jobs.
In the past, rival teenage gangs have fought running battles.
Unlike southern towns of comparable size - Picton, Bellingen or Bourke, for example - Wadeye has no mobile phone coverage and its landline phone service is outdated and unreliable, making a mockery of Telstra's claims that its services in the bush are "world class".
The town, which is cut off by road for five months each year during the wet season, is still waiting for a doctor, funding for which was promised last month.
The town, built at the edge of mangroves, has no commercial businesses such as banks, cafes, restaurants, hotels or motels. And a new study of the community, which will have implications for other Aboriginal communities, finds that governments are spending far less on its residents than on an average Territorian child.
The report finds that for every dollar spent educating the average child in the territory, only 26 cents is spent on an Aboriginal child in Wadeye. Academics John Taylor and Owen Stanley have found that the challenge for governments is to reverse the current pattern of overspending on negative areas, such as policing and criminal justice, and underspending on positive areas like education and job creation.
The town clerk, Terry Bullemor, says Wadeye represents "failure stacked on failure" by various governments since the 1970s. But its elders say they are serious about breaking out of a cycle of welfare dependency they believe has caused many of the town's problems and are not looking back with any bitterness.
After decades of infighting elders have established a traditional council where they have agreed they want to open the region to "normal" participation in Australia's economy and society. Bullemor says they are not demanding anything of governments but are asking "how can we" become a normal community with a normal economy.
Tobias Nganbe, a council member and co-principal of Wadeye's school, says there is a "desperate desire here to make life better so that kids can feel safe and when they go to places like Darwin they can have interests like kids in the rest of Australia".
Wadeye has been the focus of a trial program by the federal and territory governments and the traditional council called Thamarrurr that aims to improve the delivery and co-ordination of government services.
But Wadeye symbolises problems in remote communities that the territory's administrator, Ted Egan, describes as "deplorable, despicable, disgraceful".
"Their [Aboriginal] health standards, levels of morale, and general demeanour are going down the gurgler so fast you can almost measure it on a daily basis," he says.
Egan shocked a recent conference of health officials in Alice Springs when he spoke of seeing mangy dogs drinking out of the same billycan that is then offered to a baby.
He said non-indigenous Australians wring their hands with guilt and throw billions of dollars at an endless and failed quest to improve the life of Aborigines. "I know because I constantly watch my friends dying," he said.
Egan outlined a radical strategy, which he said would be seen as the height of paternalism. He called for the opening of canteens in remote communities to give Aborigines a decent meal every day and said a $100 bounty should be offered to rid communities of diseased dogs.
He said instead of foisting Western-style three-bedroom houses on Aborigines in remote areas, governments should build shelters where families can "live as they have done for thousands of generations, basically live outside where the sun is a great steriliser".
Egan condemned a system "whose best interests lie in further extensions of the problem, whereby more funds will be available to enable more jobs for concerned white fellers to conduct surveys, formulate new programs, extract more millions of taxpayers' funds".
Egan plans to rally public and business support to built a football oval, stadium and other facilities in the town where problems in the past have been so entrenched that some bureaucrats considered it a basket case.
But optimism about Wadeye's future has grown after long meetings by the elders at a time of uncertainty about government policies following the disbandment of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, ATSIC.
Most of the elders were educated at the Catholic mission school when the town used to be called Port Keats but have seen a generation of their own children grow up with no formal education, facing a life of despair.
Bullemor says: "The most important thing is that the push for change is coming from the Aboriginal people themselves."
Theodora Narndu and the other elders are wary of journalists because most of the headlines about the town in the past have been about riots, shootings and crime. But before a visit by the Herald, Narndu typed a statement and asked to be photographed in front of her house with her family, including sons who have spent years in jail.
The statement acknowledged that Wadeye's leaders had failed to recognise they were also part of Australia. This is an important concession by the elders from 20 clan groups which each have their own land or "country" that underpins their society, their spirituality and their way of life.
Narndu says residents of the 3200-square kilometre Thamarrurr region are fed up with legions of "middle-men" bureaucrats and consultants who come to talk and promise and then go away. Howard will probably be pleased to hear this.
Amanda Vanstone, his Aboriginal Affairs Minister, promised during last year's election campaign to "strip away layers of bureaucracy, making it easier for indigenous communities to have a say in the services that they receive". The Government is moving to link funding to "shared responsibility agreements" negotiated with Aboriginal communities represented by regional authorities.
Wadeye's elders are strongly opposed to a Territorian Government proposal to take control of the land, which is now freehold, through a voluntary 99-year-lease arrangement under which leasehold payments would go to traditional owners. But they will tell Howard they want to be able to borrow against and develop their own land like other Australians.
Narndu points at houses with no windows, filthy rooms, and broken air conditioners. "Look around here," she says. "We have nothing. We just want to give our children a chance."

Cruise Control - Issues
Diesel Laredo 2014
cruise cuts out at random times...and cannot be renabled....car has to be stopped engine off and then back on again.
Second visit to dealers booked in next week.
How does your GC cruise perform when encountering a long steep highway descent...does it brake and hold the set cruise speed...or does the speed increase way over set speed?
If I encounter a subtle slope on a highway the cruise holds speed constant....but the steep longer descents speed increases by a huge amount..as if no braking is engaged...Is this normal???!
Re: Cruise Control - Issues
I don't have the problem with cruise control cutting out at random times but it does not hold the set speed going down a steep slope. I guess 2-3 mph is fairly normal but my gc is going 5-6 mph over the set speed. That is the difference between a ticket. I have a feeling the dealership would just say "this is normal".
Re: Cruise Control - Issues
Mine might go five over, I've never had cruise control hit the brakes.
Re: Cruise Control - Issues
The cruise control will not hit the brakes, it holds the speed with engine braking, but thats all it can do. You can try downshifting with the cruise engaged to see if that will help, but no non-adaptive cruise system will apply the brakes. Even adaptive cruise wouldn't in that situation I don't think.
I would recommend in steep descent situations coming out of cruise and taking over control of the speed yourself.
As to it cutting out, that happened on my 2011 twice and both times the switch assembly on the steering wheel was replaced. Obviously the assembly is different on the 2014s...
Re: Cruise Control - Issues
From the owner's manual;
"On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without Electronic SpeedControl."
Re: Cruise Control - Issues
For instance we take a trip to southern WV where I'm from a couple times a year. There are a lot of up and down grades on 64 through the mountains culminating in the biggest, a 5 mile 7% grade as you come over Sandstone Mountain which also has a couple of fairly sharp turns. I've driven up and down that hill in many different cars. The Jeep is so heavy you cannot maintain your speed going down using just engine braking, you have to use the brakes. In the Lexus I can maintain my speed all the way down without having to use the brakes, as has been the case with previous cars. In my old Explorer I needed the brakes too. BUT...even in cars I know it will hold the speed I take it out of cruise. I just don't think barreling down a 7% grade at 80MPH in cruise is a good idea.
The Jeep is a HEAVY vehicle.
Re: Cruise Control - Issues
Thanks to all :).... its clear that Braking does not occur.
Just got to get the intermittent issues fixed.

I am Native American and have Tribal Health Insurance. I am trying to put together information about having my Tuberous Breast Deformity corrected.
I was NOT able to properly breast feed my son. I had some milk production, but not enough for him to thrive, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen a case where the breast reconstruction de-constricted the milk ducts enough to facilitate proper breast feeding. Or of any other medical benefits. Will it relieve pain & sensitivity I experience now?

The powder itself is OK, but that's about the only good thing with this product for me. The packaging is annoying- the brush is too small, it's messy and I found I couldn't get all the powder out. Not one of Revlon's best powders unfortunately.

I keep going back to this because I like the staying power and full coverage it offers. Unfortunately the packaging is TERRIBLE and makes it almost unusable. I think they discontinued it cause I can't find it anymore. It's a shame because it's a nice powder. Nice even coverage.

This is my holy grail mineral foundation oh my god. I have been using it for 3 years even before they changed it (which I'm sure they did because I notice the brush to be different) and I'm so happy with it. It goes on so well and matches my skin perfectly, it lasts on my face all day and it gives great extra coverage over my foundation. My only complaint is the packaging as I really dislike the brush and it tends to leave the hairs on my face so now I just use a different brush. But yeah I love this product so much and I will continue to re purchase again and again and again!!

The shade I got was a perfect match for my skin. The packaging is horrible, having the brush there is quite unhygienic, what if I want to use another brush? They could have made the brush detachable to the lid. The brush seems to product too much friction on my skin when applying the powder. It only has a sheer and minimal coverage but it gives my skin this dewy yet not-so-oily appeal. You have to shake this too much to get the powder you wanted. After using it, it seems we need to throw it away which isn't nice because they could have made a refill to lessen the trash.

I use this as a finishing powder, it works really well but I wouldn't use it alone as it doesn't provide much coverage.
The brush it comes with is horrible, really scratchy and the hairs come off.
The problem is that it's hard to use with an alternative brush.
Love the product, hate the dispensing of it.

The foundation coverage was ok and it didn't last must.
My problem was getting the product out of the bottle! The brush seems like a good idea, but it was so rough that it ended up scratching my skin!

I'm currently struggling with bad skin with loads of red marks and dry patches, as well as scars in the process of healing, a complete mess.
Been trying liquid foundation applied with fingertips and all it does is highlight the imperfections and leave a cakey flakey mess behind.
I like this powder because it's buildable and it doesn't cling to the bad skin. It's perfect for oily shiny skin, although it wouldn't work on its own. I used it as a second layer of foundation/concealer on top of a light coat of BB cream (Dr Jarts Regenerating) and it worked out pretty well. It's not on sale in the shops anymore in the UK, and I had it stashed away (actually I bought two a couple of years ago). I only have one at hand and quite worried I misplaced the other one, but no matter, it's still on sale on eBay, so I think I'll be repurchasing just in case. I'm not sure if Revlon also does a Mineral Colorstay concealer but it would be brilliant.

If anyone out there should be looking for a replacement for this discontinued product, I have found Annabelle CC Colour Control Pressed Powder to be almost the same. Unfortunately it's only available in Canada. I searched religiously to find a replacement by studying ingredients, and its taken around 2 years to get it. The ingredients are very similar, as is the product, except Annabelles is obviously pressed. It's very light but smooths out pores and virtually undetectable when on :)

Worst packaging ever makes rating the actual product difficult. To get product out you have to shake it around and then a little comes out and you have to use the automatic brush with it which is small and scratch. Its convenient for travel and actual product isnt horrible, but the packaging is just bad. Some people here mentioned decanting it, but i do not know how. When i do use this which is rare, i use it lightly for setting and its not bad for that.

First off, the packaging is absolutely horrible! The way they've made the bottle means that you pretty much have you use the brush they include, unless you decant it (like I did). The well is super small, so it's hard to get a decently big brush into it, and the product doesn't come out unless you turn it upside down and really shake. It wouldn't be a huge deal, except that the brush they include in the lid is horrible. Scratchy and rather small, not good for foundation at all. The twisty motion doesn't bring up much product, either, so you do have to do the shaking thing again.
The product itself is just okay. Matte finish, no sparkles, decent coverage. Not very long lasting, and with my oily face, it tends to go patchy at the end of the day--that is, if it's still on my face. Overall, not worth the money, IMO.

Main Transportation Number: (301) 644-5366
FCPS transports about 30,000 students every school day. The walking distance to bus stops is no more than 0.5 miles. Parents are responsible for overseeing students as they walk to school or transporting them if the most practical, direct walking route to school is 1.25 miles or less for grades pre-K through 5 (except at primary schools) or 1.75 miles or less for grades 6-12 (the Superintendent can allow exceptions for safety). Parents of students enrolled in a school outside their attendance area are responsible for transporting their children (see FCPS Policy 441).
Students may ride only their assigned bus. Inviting friends home on the bus makes it hard for schools and bus drivers to account for students and can cause bus capacity problems. In an emergency, principals may approve a parent's request to allow a child to ride another bus (bus drivers will need a note signed by the parent and school administration).
Transportation to jobs, social meetings, and other non-school events is a parental responsibility. If a bus needs to return a student to school for any reason, the school will notify their parent or guardian.
Schools must use FCPS vehicles to transport students from school to school, from school to extracurricular activities and on field trips. With written parent permission, principals may allow students to travel in vehicles driven by FCPS employees or authorized parents or, in the case of high school students, to drive themselves. Students can't drive other students to school-sponsored activities.

At the Bus Stop
- Parents are responsible for the safety and conduct of their children from the time the children leave home until they board the school bus, and from the time they leave the bus until they reach home at the end of the day. Students can be disciplined for conduct at the bus stop if they jeopardize the safety of others or disrupt school operations.
- Students should be at their bus stop at least 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.
- Students should act safely and stand back from the roadway until the bus stops completely. Only then should they move toward the bus.
- At the bus stop, students must respect the property of people who live nearby. No rough play, shoving or pushing. Parents are legally responsible for their children at the bus stop and are also liable for any damage they cause.
- Students should get off the bus only at their designated stops.
- When crossing the roadway to enter or exit a bus, students should walk approximately 10 feet in front of the bus and never behind it and cross only when the driver signals that all is clear.
- Once buses start moving during school dismissal, students are not to chase or attempt to board them.
- Students who miss the bus will need to find other transportation.
- Pre-K and kindergarten students must have visible adult supervision when they depart the bus.

Isn't that pawsome?! I'm so excited. =D
Wowey Zowey! Mummy brought home some Valentine's presents for me a couple days ago. First she surprised me with a new poopy box - it's closed in and has a flappy-door. It's so much fun! If Mummy hadn't put litter in there I would've made it my secret hidey spot. Then Mum brought out a big box of stuff and you know what it ended up being?! A kitty climby tree! It's HUGE! It's...um... like SO tall and I'm such a big boy that I went up to the top and touched the celling right away :D When I'm up there I can look down on the living room. Wheee! That's why I haven't been around in the past few days, I've been purroccupied. Well, Mummy says it's time for bed. I'll leave another note for you all soon.
purr purr,
After hearing about some health problems going on in the cat room of the SPCA shelter Mummy found me at, Auntie Jodi (the lady that was helping Mummy and me) said she would strongly urge Mum to Foster me before she fully adopts me. I've been a Foster kitten since January 4th (2006), but yesterday (February 7th) Mummy and Grandpa and me went on a car ride back to the shelter to finalize all the adoption papers. Mummy said that she couldn't even think of giving me up - YaaY! So it's official - I'm adopted! I'm so happy 'cuz I love her SO much! I had to get my 12-week shot first though, which made me so sleepy but I'm feeling much better now. +o)
Tomorrow Mummy and I are going to do something called the laundry. I've never done this before, but Mum says I'll love it so I'll try it. Then I have to go to the Vet for a quick check-up and to see when I can get mewtered (is that what Momma called it? I can never remember that one. What is that, anyway?).
OH! I almost forgot... Mummy bought me some treats today that are awesome! They're Meow Mix soft treats in a jug that's shaped like my head. *hehe* It sounds silly, but it's really yummy! Okay, I'm getting sleepy. I'm going to find my Momma and lick her eyes.
purr purr,

Dancing babies and toddlers who know there's more than one way to steal the show
You'd assume one would need to be an extrovert to stand out at a dance recital right? Uh-uh, Rebel Wylie's youngest proves that being extremely passive is just as hilariously attention grabbing as even the best jazz hands.
You might remember me talking about my youngest child a little while ago. Little Miss At-her-own-pace.
My non-participator.
I enrolled her in a casual dance class for toddlers in a bid to help her make some little friends. It took six weeks for her to get involved … SIX WEEKS! But get involved she did, she had been dancing, spinning and jumping and had kind of kept the death glares to a minimum. I thought, here we go, we're off!
It came to pass that her dance teacher announced that a concert was being held in the local school hall, nothing too fancy, just a casual little concert so the kids could show their friends and family what they had been getting up to every Wednesday morning. Little Miss At-her-own-pace seemed excited and our lounge room turned into a rehearsal studio as she practised her little tutu-toosh off.
The night of her 'gig' she was excited, so the Nannas, Aunties, Uncles, Cousins and siblings all made their way down to the hall in preparation for cuteness overload.
Here is what happened …
Three whole dances. Not. One. Single. Move. I would have to say my favourite part was when she forgot to leave the stage with her own group, only later realising and making her exit right in front of the bigger girls. Oh, Ivy!
At least we have her 21st birthday entertainment sorted now. And we're not the only ones: YouTube clips featuring children dancing seem to take up a lot of my time … they are just so hilarious. Please, for your own sake, take a look at these kids and get a little laughter into your day.
WARNING: May challenge your pelvic floor muscles.
Hilarious unpredictable kid YouTube moments
The little girl second from the right is dancing to her own beat baby!
Watch clip HERE.
Murder on the dance floor. These toddlers look sweet but look out … it's ON!
Watch clip HERE.
This old clip remains, possibly, my favourite YouTube video of all time. Mr Red Shirt's dance moves are amazing!
Watch clip HERE.
This kid has the moves EARLY! Hilariously cute baby dancing to Beyonce.

This kid stole the show at a Rascal Flatts concert with his mad dance skills.

Have you got a hilarious tale to share? Do you have an extrovert (or an introvert) that stole the show somewhere?

The Fox Primary By the Numbers, November 28 - December 4
Last Tuesday during two back-to-back interviews with candidates Rick Perry and Rick Santorum, Fox News host Greta Van Susteren carried on cable news's history of caricaturing immigration issues [1]. While questioning each Republican presidential hopeful about his respective plan for immigration reform, On the Record played b-roll of people presumably crossing the U.S.-Mexican border illegally -- jumping fences, hiking desert, or running across open roads -- or being detained by law enforcement. As we've explained in the past:
The ubiquitous use of this footage as a visual backdrop distorts the issue: The footage does not in any meaningful way illustrate the reality of the lives of immigrants who are in this country illegally, nor does it meaningfully depict the complex array of issues involved in immigration reform. Moreover, the footage does not even capture the common experience of undocumented immigrants, nearly half of whom, according to a Pew Hispanic Center report [2], entered the country legally.
So who's winning the Fox Primary? Each week at Media Matters, we watch the interviews, crunch the numbers, and tell you what Fox is up to in the presidential campaign.
Last Week's Results
Total time: 5 hours and 12 minutes; Total appearances: 28
Most Total Airtime on Fox: Newt Gingrich (1 hour and 15 minutes)
Most Total Appearances: Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum (4 appearances each)
Fox Show with the Most Total Candidate Airtime: Huckabee (1 hour and 15 minutes)
Fox Show with the Most Candidate Appearances: Huckabee (6 appearances)
Longest Candidate Interview: Your World with Neil Cavuto (20 minutes with Herman Cain)
Softball Question(s) of the Week: During the December 1 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson asked interviewee Mitt Romney this:
CARLSON: Well, speaking of the mud and possible negative campaigning, it appears that the guy who endorsed you -- a huge endorsement -- Governor Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, that now he's on the attack mode for you ostensibly against New Gingrich. I want to read a quote from Chris Christie. Here's what he said: "Speaker Gingrich has never run anything. And he's been a legislator. I have to tell you, I don't think being a legislator is the best calling card ... Look at the guy we have in the White House how. He never ran anything and was a legislator."
Have you summoned Chris Christie to be the attack dog against Newt Gingrich?

Media Matters searched the Nexis database for all guest appearances on Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, and Fox News Sunday for the 10 declared and potential presidential candidates in question: Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Buddy Roemer, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum.
For programs where a transcript was unavailable, Media Matters reviewed the raw video.
Changes to the reports
Media Matters added McCotter to the data beginning on June 20 and Roemer beginning on July 21. We stopped including McCotter on September 22; he dropped out of the race that day.
We stopped including Pawlenty and Trump in the data beginning on August 14; Pawlenty dropped out of the race on that date. And while Trump stated that he would no longer seek the Republican nomination but may instead run as an independent (on June 1, the beginning of this report), we decided to drop him from the data on this date.
We stopped including Bolton in the data beginning on September 6; Bolton decided not to run on this date.
We stopped including Palin in the data after her decision not to run was made on October 5.
We stopped including Giuliani in the data after he announced on October 11 that he would not run.
We stopped including Cain in the data when he suspended his campaign on December 3.

Piels Campaign
As the new Mad Men season begins, WNYC's Sara Fishko looks back to some "soft sell" advertising of the 1950s. Here is a new! Improved! Fishko Files…
Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding -- better known as the celebrated duo Bob and Ray, two of the biggest names in comedy -- are the voices behind Bert and Harry Piel. Their working relationship spanned over 50 years, and across several media: They got their start in radio, later appearing on television, Broadway and in the pages of Mad Magazine. Bob and Ray's success with the Piels Brothers campaign allowed them to start their own voice-over company, Goulding Elliott Greybar.
Ray died on March 24, 1990, but Bob continued touring in a duo with his son, the actor Chris Elliott. They appeared together on episodes of Newhart, Late Night with David Letterman, among others. Bob is still very much around, and talked to us about his working relationship with Ray.
For a classic example of the 1950s advertising style, see this commercial for Old Gold Cigarettes.

Economists from the Associated General Contractors of America, the AIA, and Reed Construction Data addressed the expected length and strength of the construction market's recovery in a webinar May 3. The private residential sector received significant attention as the discussion evaluated how activities such as remodeling and multifamily as well as foreclosure rates and bank lending would drive a residential market turnaround.
Multifamily construction and remodeling were among the areas in which the economists cited growth. Kermit Baker, AIA chief economist, said that last year's $300 billion home improvement market accounted for 2 percent of overall U.S. economic activity. Most of this spending attributed to owner-occupied homes, although 15 percent to 20 percent of spending was on rental units, reflecting a sense of permanency among renters. Baker also noted that the AIA's Architecture Billings Index has held slightly above the 50-point mark for five straight months—driven by, to some extent, a relative influx of multifamily work.
Residential remodeling activity dipped 10 percent to 15 percent compared with the three-quarter drop in home building activity, from which the former was able to grab market share. "We've had a serious remodeling downturn but nowhere near as serious as we saw in the housing recession," Baker said. Since 2009, remodeling activity weighed in at nearly 70 percent of the total residential construction spending market, a spike from its historical average share of 40 percent to 45 percent, he added.
On the whole, residential construction spending is losing market share amid the overall construction market. Reed's chief economist Bernard Markstein said that the segment totaled 31.1 percent of the construction market in 2011, down from its 55.9 percent share in 2005. "[Home] improvements have helped keep up the overall residential construction spending, but there's no way to overcome the shrinkage of the single-family market, and that's where the eyes are," he said. "It's struggling mightily."
Baker called out energy-efficient retrofits as a driver of growth, with the key shift being toward older homes. "New homes in a good year account for only 1.5 percent to 2 percent of the housing stock," he said. "If we are going to make significant gains, we have to improve older homes."
Pre- and post-sale remodeling work on distressed properties valued $8.5 billion in 2011, Baker said, fueled in part by a "pipeline" of foreclosed homes re-entering the market. He added that nationwide home improvement spending is expected to increase 5.6 percent this year.
Baker also noted that historical lows in homeowner mobility rates also may be impacting sale-driven home improvement spending, as well as driving younger, potential buyers into the renting market. He added that instability of housing prices, banks reluctant to lend, and a stock of foreclosures still "working their way through the system" all are contributing to homeowners' hesitancy, or even ability, to move.

What are pesticides and medical drugs doing to human health?
Have you wondered why pollinators, birds, amphibians, bats etc. have dramatically decreased in numbers in the last 20-30years? Or perhaps you weren't even aware of the fact – because the British Media has been silent on the matter.
But you will be aware of the increasing number of diseases that are affecting us all: obesity, type 2 diabetes, autism, Dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, various neurological disorders, cancers, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, infertility, birth defects, depression, heart disease, strokes, hypertension etc.
Why has no-one in medicine, public health or medical epidemiology managed to work it out? "It's difficult to get a man to understand something if his salary depends upon his not understanding it."1
The answer is simple; but the cure is not. We are slowly, silently being poisoned. Our genes, and those of our children, are being damaged by toxic chemicals.2 Of course it is something of a 'post-code' (or water-shed 'post code' lottery3) and depends on where you are living. If you live in London and eat organic food, you may not have noticed. But there are pesticide residues (particularly glyphosate) in staple foods that are made from cereal crops, because many are desiccated (dried off) with glyphosate before harvest. Since 2007, most brewers and distillers have permitted pre-harvest desiccation to be done, so it will now be in beer and whiskey. Most of the imports from the US have ingredients contaminated with GM and herbicides (such as glyphosate, 2,4-D, glufosinate, dicamba) in the production process.
In South Wales we have found that glyphosate is present in our tap water.4 This is because large amounts of glyphosate are used on noxious weeds such as Japanese knotweed that are invading previously industrialised areas. Contractors on quad bikes with knapsacks have been spraying Roundup® along kerbs, verges, highways, even in areas of schools, libraries and doctors surgeries. In 2012 the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) instructed the workers not to spray on hard surfaces,5 because there is a lot of run-off into water courses, but I doubt whether a technical instruction posted on a website ever gets passed on to a worker.
Our Assembly Member wrote to the Local Council, but they said that Roundup® was perfectly safe. (This is a Monsanto myth: since 1996 the Corporation has been convicted in courts for fraudulent and false advertising6). Our Council refused to stop spraying until they were instructed to do so by the CRD or Defra. We have spent 3 years writing to these two Government Departments. Both maintain that glyphosateand the neonicotinoid insecticides are perfectly safe if applied in the correct dosages! We remain at an impasse and continue to be poisoned by Government policies.
Unfortunately some members of the British Government, such as the Defra Minister, Environment Minister, Science Minister and their Chief Scientists and a few MPs are 'in bed' with the pesticides companies. They, together with NFU Chairman, Peter Kendall, and many scientists from the John Innes Centre have held secret meetings with industry to devise a strategy to try to get GM crops into the UK.7 Paradoxically, at the same time, a significant number of countries are banning them.
Here is a 2012 Report: Combatting Monsanto: Grassroots resistance to the corporate power of agribusiness in the era of the 'green economy' and a changing climate.8 It is compiled by La Via Campesina,9 Friends of the Earth International and Combat Monsanto. Many countries have banned GMO crops. This Report also documents many crimes (including murder) committed by the Corporate Industries in their quest for seed and pesticide dominance. Is it significant that the UK has volunteered to take the first stockpile of chemicals from Syria (for the deadline: 31/12/2013) into an unknown British Port for destruction? These precursors are capable of being used by the pharmaceutical industry.10

After performing more than 550 free spay and neuter surgeries for San Francisco's cats and dogs in February, the San Francisco SPCA has declared March "Pit Fix Month" and will offer free spay/neuter procedures for the city's pit bull and pit mix population. San Francisco residents can schedule appointments on a first-come, first-served basis with the SF SPCA's Spay/Neuter Clinic.
"A core part of the SF SPCA's mission is to prevent overpopulation and animal abandonment," said Jennifer Scarlett, D.V.M., co-president of the SF SPCA. "Although the SF SPCA is a No-Kill shelter, the reality is that more than 60 percent of the dogs euthanized in San Francisco are pit bulls and pit mixes. With Pit Fix Month, we hope to reduce the number of pits that wind up in our shelters and raise awareness of the need for responsible pet guardianship."
The SF SPCA expects to accommodate more than 150 free spay/neuter procedures for pit bulls during the month of March. The month-long program is a new expansion of "Pit Fix Week" from previous years, during which the SF SPCA offered free spay/neuter procedures as part of the national awareness week in March.
The state-of-the-art SF SPCA Spay/Neuter Clinic is part of the Leanne B. Roberts Animal Care Center, which opened in 2009. The clinic is on track to perform more than 9,000 spay/neuter surgeries this year and has helped lower the number of cats and dogs in San Francisco shelters by more than half since 1985. Spay and neuter procedures contribute to the overall health of animals, decrease overpopulation and save both the city and its residents the costs and repercussions of unwanted litters. The SF SPCA would not be able to make this offer available to the public without the generosity of its donors and the profits generated by the SF SPCA Veterinary Hospital at the Leanne B. Roberts Animal Care Center.
For San Francisco residents interested in scheduling a spay or neuter appointment for their pit bull or pit mix in March 2011, or to learn about terms and conditions of this offer, please call 415-554-3030 or visit http://www.sfspca.org/pit.

The Saw "Where's Billy" Game
Posted on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 by Brendon Connelly
Here's a little distraction for you, something to play with for a couple of idle minutes. In order to promote the DVD and BD release of Saw VI (out since January in the US, in UK stores this week), Lionsgate have whipped up a little Where's Waldo-style picture with Jigsaw's creepy tricycling puppet Billy hidden away amongst several Saw and Waldo characters and in jokes. You can see the full picture after the break.

Notes: Wright's debut a workout
Notes: Wright's debut a workout
"It's kind of give-and-take," he said while holding his son, Gunner. "I don't want to have runners all over the bases and scoring runs, but it's still getting your work in.
"The last time I had been in a game was last year, so it's kind of getting the rust off."
Wright, who was acquired in an offseason trade with the Yankees for reliever Chris Britton, will take the ball in another five days. The Orioles are counting on him to provide a steady presence to complement the team's young arms. Wright, the son of former big leaguer Clyde Wright, previously worked with pitching coach Leo Mazzone in Atlanta.
"We were a little worried about him, but adrenaline kicked in," said manager Sam Perlozzo, who turned 56 on Sunday. "His arm's trying to get up to strength, and we wanted to make sure he was going to be OK. We got him through one inning and he threw the ball really well. Actually, it was much better than he expected."
Newhan returns as a Met: The scene was too puzzling for a manager to ignore. Utilityman David Newhan stood outside the visiting clubhouse on Sunday, surrounded by reporters that cover his former team. As the Mets walked onto the field, manager Willie Randolph made a point to stop, smile and duck his head into the group interview.
"[Wow], what is this?" he joked before moving on.
Soon enough, Randolph will find out why Newhan is popular with the press. The part-time outfielder is well known for speaking his mind, which has alternately earned him kudos and gotten him in trouble at various times in his well-traveled career. Now, he's moving to the sport's media capital, which could make for interesting copy.
"That's a little too much bank for me," Newhan said of living in Manhattan. "We're going to try to enjoy the city and take advantage of it. It's a big stage, and the people are fanatical about their team. When you're going good, I don't think there's a better place on earth to be, but they're going to let you have it when you deserve it."
Newhan, son of prominent sportswriter Ross Newhan, has been trying to carve out a big-league career for most of the last decade. The former Pepperdine star got his first taste of big-league action in 1999, but he didn't get his first full-time look until 2004, when he hit .311 with eight home runs in 95 games with the Orioles.

"I was disappointed not to come back. I enjoyed my time there," he said. "Camden Yards is a great place to show up to work every day. I love the guys on the team and had a good relationship with everyone. It looks like they turned the page, made some good moves and tried to shore up some areas they needed to do."
The left-handed hitter came into Sunday's game with a team-high six RBIs and reached base safely in each of his first two at-bats. Newhan started at third base -- a position normally occupied by All-Star David Wright -- and knows that if he makes the team, he'll be expected to bounce between positions all season long.
"I see myself playing a role off the bench," he said. "Obviously, doing that in the National League means a little more playing time. ... I'm on the roster right now, so it's just a matter of getting work in and bouncing around. There may be a few double-switches, but with our lineup, I don't think that will be happening often."
The group interviews might not happen often either, but if Randolph has any questions about Newhan's appeal, he can direct them to the scrappy reserve's last manager.
"I love David," added Perlozzo. "If you can give us more than 100 percent, he was the guy that gave it. He was always one of the guys that I appreciated his work ethic and how he went about his business."
Sightings: Former player and coach Rick Dempsey arrived in camp on Sunday and is expected to fill a dual role for the rest of the spring. Dempsey signed on as an analyst and studio host for the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network for the regular season, but he'll spend Spring Training as a guest instructor and part-time batting practice pitcher.
"I'm just here to do whatever the ballclub wants me to do. [I'll] throw batting practice, hit ground balls, run around, whatever," he said. "It's just to get to know a lot of the new guys."
Dempsey said it will be weird to be out of uniform, but it's something he's been anticipating for quite some time.
"One step at a time. We'll see how it goes," he said. "I hate being away from the field, but I'll always be in touch with it some way."
Bumps and bruises: Catcher Paul Bako is out with a right oblique injury and will likely return next week. Pitcher Hayden Penn threw a bullpen session Sunday and is expected to get two days off before pitching his first game.
Quotable: "The city's great. It has everything to offer. You can do anything, but five minutes later, everyone's going to know what you were doing." -- Newhan, on the positives and negatives of living in New York
Coming up: The Orioles will take on the Marlins on Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET at Fort Lauderdale Stadium, and Adam Loewen will be matched up against Florida's Chris George. Loewen is the last of Baltimore's starters to make a spring outing.

It is a driver issue in BT 3. I found an old beta version of BT and the card injects like a champ with it.
Ok, I know the host AP Drives have some drawbacks and some attacks are unsupported (or at least they were with older versions). I cannot get injection to work with my Senao 2511-CD EXT2 at all though:
The injecting card is a Senao NL-2511-CD EXT2, the one everybody has...Code:#aireplay-ng --test -e columbia -a 00:08:A1:64:A2:B0 wlan1 11:32:27 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: 00:08:A1:64:A2:B0) on channel 11 11:32:27 Trying broadcast probe requests... 11:32:29 No Answer... 11:32:29 Found 1 AP 11:32:29 Trying directed probe requests... 11:32:29 00:08:A1:64:A2:B0 - channel: 11 - 'columbia' 11:32:36 0/30: 0%
Until recently I had a dedicated laptop running Debian with a 2.6.10 Kernel and HostAP 0.4.7 (i think). Injection worked great with this card. Any ideas how I could maybe get it working with BackTrack?
EDIT: just wanted to add I've got three adapters/cards with Prism2.5 and none of them can inject.
EDIT#2: oh ya, all hostap kernel modules are properly loaded as well as ieee80211_crypt module.
EDIT#3 even tried flashing the firmware to the recommended version for injection .... still nothing
Can somebody confirm that this card will inject with the current HostAP drives on Backtrack 3. Also, let me know what primary and secondary versions of firmware are working.
It is a driver issue in BT 3. I found an old beta version of BT and the card injects like a champ with it.
It is an issue with a driver I think. Found an old copy BT2 Beta and it injects fine with Hostap.

Since the end of the 2005 college football season, things have only gotten better for Alston. He was one of the only players to participate in both the Senior Bowl and the East/West Shrine Game. He then made jaws drop at the NFL combine after running a 4.40 40-yard dash (the fastest time among linebackers), leaping for a 40-inch vertical jump and bench-pressing 225 pounds 30 times. Alston admits he had a little extra help on his side for his performance at the Combine.
"I hadn't expected to jump as well as I did with the 11-foot broad jump and it was actually a 41-inch vertical, but they miscalculated it -- and it went down in the books as 40," Alston said. "But the funny story is, my mother, she prayed over my baby shoes that I would be the fastest linebacker at the Combine the night before I ran. I was very blessed to be the fastest linebacker at the Combine this year, so I was really thankful for that. I had thought that I would do well, but I didn't think I'd do as well as I did do."
Alston's Combine performance impressed scouts and vaulted him up numerous mock draft boards. At 6-foot-1, 223 pounds, Alston's blazing speed, ball-hawking abilities and pass rushing skills are distinguishing attributes that have also caught the eye of many NFL scouts. Some NFL teams are even considering using him at the safety position based on his physical frame and coverage skills.
"Several teams have expressed interest in doing that with me [switching him to safety]. I've actually had several workouts with teams coming in and checking to see how I move and whether or not I could make that transition. I think I've done well in all those workouts, so honestly on draft day I don't know what position I'll be drafted as, but I'll play wherever they ask me to play," he said.
Alston is used to playing different positions. He began his high school career as a safety, switched to linebacker and wide receiver as a junior and then played running back, linebacker and defensive tackle his senior year.
"Actually one game my junior year, I played FS, CB, DT, LB and WR in the same game, so I moved around a lot," he said.
As defensive speed becomes more of a necessity in the NFL, the value of a player like Alston will likely continue to rise. "I feel like there are a lot of systems that emphasize speed from the OLB position that I could be successful in," Alston said.
Alston's refreshing attitude will be an asset for any NFL coaching staff. He believes in being a football player "24/7," by avoiding late nights out drinking and getting to bed on time. That way of life is also an extension of his upbringing and the close family ties he maintains today.
"My aunt and cousin, who I consider my brother, went to every single game over the last two years, home and away," he said. "They work blue-collar jobs with the post office but they sacrifice and make time to be there for me. Something like that – you couldn't ask for more."
Alston also inspires himself with a motto that he applies to all aspects of his life.
"Never Settle."
"I think that a person should never settle and should do the best they can do," he explained. "For me as a football player, I strive to be a great player, to be a part of a great team and something great because I believe I have the physical gifts to do it, the mind to do it, so why not do it? Why settle for not doing my best? If God gives you gifts you've got to use them, right? I think that's something that you can apply to anything in your life."
While some players who are passionate about the game of football scream and go into a rage before a game, Alston prefers meditation and visualization to get ready. His dedication to the team concept is apparent in the reasons he gives for loving the game of football.
"Man, there are so many things that I love about the game of football. I think it's a combination of everything. The thing I really love is that you can bring so many different types of people from so many different places together and work together for one common goal. To me, there are few things in the world that are comparable to that. My sophomore year in high school I played on a team that had eight shutouts. It was amazing that every time we were on the field we trusted every single one of those guys. We were like brothers. That season alone taught me so much about life and football. I strive to get that feeling every year because it's something I can't get anywhere else. And also, being able to run around and smack people as hard as you can…that's fun too," he said.

Dear Alexandra,
Today marks the third anniversary of your crossing over the Rainbow Bridge. I still miss you every day, and your paw prints will be on my heart forever.
Always loving and missing you,
Today is the 2nd anniversary of my crossing over the Rainbow Bridge. I know my mom still misses me every day. What she doesn't know is that I watch over her all the time. I am happy that she stays close to me by staying active in Dogster and making such nice friends here. Love you and miss you too mom!
Easter Egg
It's been a year today since I went to the bridge and got my wings as an angel. My mommy is having a sad day today as she is still missing me so much. She lit a pink candle that smelled of lavender and said a prayer for me and my big sister Penny. She hopes one day to work closer to home so she can adopt another mini poodle like me. I miss my mommy too, but I want her to know I am running and playing and healthy here!

Out of the box, the equivalent to the 2D option *AxisOrigin* does not

Maybe you are, like me, a casual visitor to San Diego, California. And maybe you, like me, think of it as a city of beaches, sunshine, the Padres, and pandas. These are its obvious attractions ― except for the pandas, which are invariably hiding when you try to see them at the zoo. What Eric Bowlby wants people to know is that San Diego is also a city of canyons.
This is why, on a morning so fine you feel your feet are floating 2 inches off the ground, I am following Bowlby down a trail into one of his favorite canyons, Switzer, just east of Balboa Park.
Bowlby got his current role as the Paul Revere of San Diego canyons in a circuitous way. Raised in Massachusetts, he followed a girlfriend out to San Diego and got involved in environmental issues because he was playing in a band with a bunch of enviro dudes. One day he and his friends noticed that the city was about to push an access road through Switzer Canyon. Unhappy, they organized a canyon-side community meeting ― and were astonished by the turnout. "We got tons of people," he says, "even on a rainy day."
We follow the trail down a medium-steep slope lined with lemonade berry. "Most people don't realize that San Diego County has more endangered species than any other county in the continental United States," Bowlby says. "It's because we have tremendous biodiversity ― coast, lagoons, mesas, mountains, deserts. And endangered because we've paved over a lot of habitat."
That said, the canyons (which are not Grand Canyon chasms as much as scrub-filled ravines) don't initially stir you with awe. Like spotting the pandas, appreciating their beauty requires some patience. Still, when Bowlby bends down, grabs a leaf and crumples it for me ― "Black sage," he says ― the scent is like something you'd smell at the gates of heaven.
"In Switzer, you feel you're out in the country," Carrie Schneider says. Schneider is coleader of Friends of Switzer Canyon, the community group that sprang out of that initial meeting. After helping to win the road battle, Friends has gone on to remove invasive plants and replace them with native species.
And its example spread: Today, as the Sierra Club's canyons and creeks preservation organizer, Bowlby coordinates the work of nearly 40 active canyon-preservation groups.
Some San Diegans think the effort to preserve the canyons is even changing the nature of the city. "The funny thing about San Diego is that many people don't feel attached to it as a place," says Richard Louv, former columnist for the San Diego Union-Tribune, and a passionate advocate for what he calls nearby nature. The canyons, he thinks, can help give the city a sense of community. "San Diego is really defined by them."
Last year a consortium of environmental groups and urban designers, San Diego Civic Solutions, made an ambitious proposal ― to establish a 17,000-acre park that would preserve all the city's canyons as a single open-space park. It's only a proposal, dependent on its promoters drumming up popular and political support. Still, Louv and Bowlby think it's a start.
Bowlby and I have reached the canyon bottom. Here is where the creek that created Switzer runs, and even though it's hardly a trickle, the air is cool and sweet with hidden water. Far above us we see a hawk circling. "A red-shouldered," Bowlby says. As I watch the hawk spiral, I find myself reciting his list of canyons like a nursery rhyme: Juniper, Chollas, Stevenson, Dove. Nothing big, nothing splashy, not the Grand Canyon. Just small, good places that make you feel good about April, about life.

This year, Rivers will work with a full deck. He does not have to worry about holdouts by his blindside protector (Marcus McNeill) or his No. 1 receiver (Vincent Jackson). He also has more weapons at receiver than he has ever seen. In addition to Jackson and Floyd, who was assumed to be a free-agent casualty, he gets a fully acclimated Patrick Crayton and a much refined Seyi Ajirotutu.
QB Philip Rivers
C. Hanewinckel/U.S. Presswire
The loss of Darren Sproles (59 grabs in 2010) will hurt, but much of that will be offset by the progress of other check-down options such as RB Ryan Mathews and TE Kory Sperry.
While upgraded pass catchers will aid Rivers, nothing will assist him more than the offensive line maintaining all its key cogs. By re-signing Jeromey Clary and Scott Mruczkowski, as well as ERFA Brandyn Dombrowski, the Chargers assured they'll field a formidable front line even if the injury bug bites.
With so many pieces in place, the question is this: How high is Rivers' ceiling? After leading the NFL in several key categories, including yards per attempt (8.7), it is hard to imagine his stats can pop much more than they already do.
Some argue his 2010 numbers were inflated because the Chargers were so often forced to play from behind. However, 2,345 of his 4,710 yards (49.78 percent) came in the first half of ballgames, long before any desperation set in.
A half-dozen QBs hoisted more attempts than Rivers last season. Rivers may get even more attempts in 2011 if his re-tooled defense can force more than a paltry 23 takeaways, which is all that unit could muster in 2010.
Mix all the ingredients together and you get the recipe for an MVP season. There is just the little matter of winning enough games to capture national attention -- if Rivers makes that happen, the MVP trophy will be his to lose.
How big is the return of WR Malcom Floyd? Discuss inside the message boards.
Michael Lombardo is a long-time contributor to the Scout.com network. His analysis has been published by the NFL Network, Fox Sports and MySpace Sports.

Cars (2006)
Plot Summary
While traveling to California for the dispute of the final race of the Piston Cup against The King and Chick Hicks, the famous Lightning McQueen accidentally damages the road of the small town Radiator Springs and is sentenced to repair it. Lightning McQueen has to work hard and finds friendship and love in the simple locals, changing its values during his stay in the small town and becoming a true winner.- Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters--including Sally, a snazzy 2002 Porsche, Doc Hudson, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, and Mater, a rusty but trusty tow truck, who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.- Written by gavin (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Lightning McQueen is a cocky, rookie race car. Speeding on his way to a big race, he crashes into Radiator Springs, destroying lots of the inhabitants belongings. In order to make up for what he did, the cocky roadster is sentenced to community service. Though he will do anything to get away from the work, McQueen must learn to respect and bond with the Radiator Springs inhabitants in order to get out of the town and back on the racetracks.- Written by swansongang
Lightning McQueen is a young, hotshot rookie race car in the last race of the season. At the end of the race, he finds out he is tied with Chick Hicks and The King. On the way to the tie-breaker race in Los Angeles, California, some hot punk cars get him lost in a little town called Radiator Springs on the old Route 66 road, which has been long forgotten many years ago. Scared to death, he tears up the town's main road and is sentenced to community service by Doc Hudson. During this time, he meets a funny, but lovable tow truck named Mater and a beautiful Porsche Carrera named Sally. He also meets some other cars, whom which he finds to be quite odd. All he wants to do is get out of this town and back into the big city, but as the week until the race goes on, the town folk help him discover that life isn't just about trophies, fame, and sponsorships and McQueen learns about family and friendship.- Written by Collin B. (moviemanic122893)
Successful rookie racer Lightning McQueen has, to his pleasure, just won a 3-way tie with elder rival Chick Hicks and champ "The King", but is also proud and unappreciative of long-time (mostly older) supporters enough to have his ignored pit-crew desert him. Accidentally lost en route to California for the tie-breaker, he crashes through Radiator Springs on Route 66, destroying the road and some property. Forced to remain in town until he repairs them, he's stuck in a small community whose tight-knit inhabitants accept neither his selfishness nor bad attitude. Refusing to respect them initially, he eventually returns the friendship of redneck Mater and falls in love with Sally, but can't seem to get gruff Doc Hudson, who keeps a painful secret, to change his mind about him. Soon Lightning learns the inhabitants of the town as a whole, who are almost a secret to the outside world, also had a past now painfully absent, and tries to help them enjoy it once more.- Written by firstname.lastname@example.com
