After graduating from college, I spent a year teaching high school in a rural area of western Kenya.1 Six months into the job, I went to Nairobi to purchase textbooks for the school and run some other errands. When I arrived I felt a bit like a country bumpkin, having been living in a house with mud walls and a thatched roof and suddenly being surrounded by skyscrapers. People in western Kenya had told me that Nairobi, situated at some 5,000 feet in altitude, would be very cold. As someone who was used to Kansas winters, I assumed what constituted "cold" in equatorial Nairobi would not affect me, but I did, indeed, find myself getting chills.
As I made my rounds in Nairobi, I felt very lethargic. I would stop into a restaurant, order food, and then realize I couldn't bring myself to eat. I would leave and, feeling weak, go into another restaurant, order food, and again push it away. The next day I would feel better and wonder why I'd been so sluggish, only to again slip into lethargy and weakness a bit later. This went on for several days.
At one point I needed to make a phone call, and sought out the nearest pay phone, which happened to be in a hospital--actually, one of the best private hospitals in Nairobi. While making the call, I realized I was too weak to walk out and had to see a doctor.
It turned out that an anopheles mosquito had gotten past my mosquito net and bitten me, injecting the infective form of the malaria parasite, known as sporozoites, into my blood. The parasites had moved to my liver, where they changed form and reproduced, giving rise to blood-stage malaria.
As the parasites multiplied, destroying my red blood cells, I began to experience nausea, exhaustion, fever, sweating, and shaking chills. My alternating periods of strength and weakness were characteristic of malaria. If I had been out in the village and not gotten to a doctor, the condition could have led to death through severe anemia, or by stemming blood flow to the brain and other organs.
I checked into the hospital in Nairobi. My memory of what happened thereafter is a blur. I remember waking from strange nightmarish dreams. The type of malaria I had proved resistant to the first-line drug used to fight the disease, but the doctors switched me to alternatives and kept me on them until I recovered. I returned to the village fifteen pounds lighter.
Of course, I was phenomenally lucky to receive first-rate care. Many people in Africa live far from clinics, cannot afford to see a competent doctor, or do not have the money to pay for effective medicine.
I saw this vividly illustrated years later when I returned for a visit to the village where I had lived in Kenya. One of my friends there had malaria. Unlike me, he recognized the symptoms, but he lived several hour's walk from a hospital, and was not much inclined to go there in any case, knowing that patients regularly have to share a bed. The first-line malaria medicine is readily available over-the-counter in Kenya, and costs less than a dollar. But when I arrived, my friend hadn't been medicated because he couldn't afford the pills. While he was unlikely to die from the disease, he was sufficiently sick to be unable to work, and the resulting inability to afford essentials made him even weaker.
Malaria is only one of the diseases that plague low-income countries. Together, malaria, tuberculosis, and the strains of HIV common in Africa kill 5 million people each year. Diseases like schistosomiasis, which many people in higher-income countries have never heard of, also impose a heavy burden on poor countries. Vaccines offer the best hope for conquering these diseases because they are relatively easy to deliver, even in countries with weak health-care infrastructure. Yet research on vaccines for diseases that primarily affect low-income countries remains minimal.
In this book we examine the reasons for this lack of research and propose that foreign aid donors encourage this research by committing in advance to help finance the purchase of suitable vaccines.
We argue that a key reason why pharmaceutical firms have been reluctant to invest in R&D on vaccines for diseases that primarily affect poor countries is that they fear they would not be able to sell the vaccine at prices that would cover their risk-adjusted costs. The low anticipated price reflects not only the poverty of the relevant populations, but also severe distortions in markets for vaccines for these diseases. Intellectual property rights for pharmaceuticals have historically been weak in low-income countries. Most vaccines sold in these countries are priced at pennies per dose, a tiny fraction of their social value--even measured in terms of what people with very low incomes would pay for the protection. Once pharmaceutical companies have invested in the research necessary to develop vaccines, governments often use their powers as regulators, dominant purchasers, and arbiters of intellectual property rights to keep prices low.
Research on vaccines is an "international public good" because the benefits of scientific and technological advances spill over to many nations. Hence, none of the many small countries that would benefit from a malaria, tuberculosis, or HIV vaccine has an incentive to encourage research by unilaterally offering to pay higher prices. And accordingly, private developers lack incentives to pursue socially valuable research on diseases primarily affecting low-income countries.
Incentive systems to encourage development of new products can be broadly classified as push programs, which subsidize research inputs, or pull programs, which reward developers for actually creating the desired product. Government-directed push programs are well suited for basic research. But for the later, applied stages of research, pull programs are also needed. With pull programs, money changes hands only after a successful product is developed. This approach of rewarding results gives researchers strong incentives to self-select projects that have the best chance of success. Pull programs also create incentives for researchers to focus on developing a vaccine, rather than pursuing ancillary goals, such as publishing journal articles. Moreover, appropriately designed pull programs can help ensure that, if new vaccines are developed, they will reach those people who need them. Several historical precedents, such as the Orphan Drug Act, suggest pull-like mechanisms can be effective tools for spurring product development.
The most attractive form of pull program is generally a commitment to fully or partially finance vaccine purchases for poor countries. Alternative pull approaches have significant disadvantages. Extending patents on other pharmaceuticals to reward developers of new products, for example, would place the entire burden of financing new products on the people who buy these other pharmaceuticals. Purchasing and distributing existing vaccines which are not being fully utilized would be a cost-effective way to save lives, but simply increasing prices for existing vaccines without explicit incentives for developing new ones would be an expensive and ineffective way to spur research on new vaccines.
For vaccine commitments to increase research activity, developers must believe that the sponsor will not renege once desired products have been developed and research costs sunk. If structured appropriately, these commitments can be legally binding contracts, as evidenced by legal precedents. The credibility of vaccine commitments can be further enhanced by specifying in advance the rules that govern the eligibility and pricing of vaccines, as well as by insulating the arbiters of these rules from political pressure.
Requiring candidate products to meet basic technical requirements, including approval by a competent national regulatory agency such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, would ensure that funds were spent only on effective vaccines. Requiring low-income countries to agree before a qualifying vaccine is used, and perhaps requiring them or other donors to contribute part of the production and distribution cost--would help ensure that products purchased by the program would be useful under actual field conditions.
One way to structure a vaccine commitment would be to guarantee a price of, say, $15-$20 per person for the first 200-250 million people immunized, in exchange for a commitment from the developer to subsequently drop the price in the poorest countries to a modest markup over manufacturing cost. A commitment of this size would offer firms an opportunity for sales comparable to those available in commercial markets. It would be extremely cost-effective, saving more lives than virtually any imaginable comparable health expenditure.
Vaccine commitments could be undertaken by international organizations such as the World Bank, by national governments, by private foundations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, or by a combination of these groups. If a commitment to purchase vaccines failed to produce an effective vaccine, no donor funds would be spent; if it succeeded, tens of millions of lives would be saved at remarkably low cost.
This book lays out the rationale for a vaccine commitment and discusses how it could be designed. Chapter 2 reviews the disease environments in low-income countries and chapter 3 discusses the low level of research on diseases primarily affecting low income countries. (Readers familiar with health issues in developing countries may wish to skip these chapters.) In chapter 4 we discuss the market distortions that limit research in general and particularly limit research on vaccines against diseases that primarily affect poor countries. Chapters 5 and 6 outline the potential roles push and pull programs can play in addressing market failures in R&D. Chapter 7 reviews various types of pull programs and argues that commitments to help finance vaccine purchases would be most attractive. Chapters 8, 9, and 10 discuss how pull programs could be structured: how a candidate vaccine's eligibility for such a program could be determined, how much to pay for a vaccine, and how payments should be structured, for example to divide the reward between multiple providers. Chapter 11 explains how a similar approach might be used to induce R&D on other products, such as other medical technologies and technologies that could improve agricultural productivity in the tropics. Finally, chapter 12 discusses the political economy of a vaccine commitment and how it could be designed to meet the needs of possible sponsors.

possible over-insertion of the magazine?

Went to the range today. First time in a long time. Met ccw9mm for the first time as he lives in Oregon, too. Nice guy. We have a lot in common.
I was shooting my Glock 27 (subcompact 9 round magazine). I went through a few drills just using one magazine. I was a 9 round magazine as it is my EDC. I had a few extra magazines available that fit a Glock 23 (compact, 13 rounds). On one drill, I filled my 9 round magazine with 4 rounds and had a spare 13 round magazine in my pouch. I fired at three targets, three shots each which means I had to reload in the middle of the second target. For several drills, everything went fine. No failure to feeds. Then I did it again. I am not sure if I changed magazines or what, but after the reload, the gun kept failing to feed. I was using UMC 180 gr. Ball. I did the standard procedure of tapping the magazine and racking the slide. Fired another shot. Another FTF. Same procedure. Another FTF. OK, what is going on? I looked at the magazine through the open slide and nothing was unusual. I tried dropping the magazine and it was stuck. I could not release it. (I think it was because the slide was not locked back, because it was trying to feed the round.) Tapped it again, racked the slide and everything was fine. Then it worked for the rest of the day.
Any ideas? (And no, getting an XD or 1911 is not an idea. )

possible over-insertion of the magazine?
"Being a predator isn't always comfortable but the only other option is to be prey. That is not an acceptable option." ~Phil Messina
If you carry in Condition 3, you have two empty chambers. One in the weapon...the other between your ears.
Matt K.
Sometimes the G23 or G22 magazines do not work right in a G27, because the magazine gets tilted by your hand pressure around the grip, causing a misalignment at the feed ramp, and jams. The mag well is loose in a G27, and this will let the mag rock back and forth. This is why, even though the theory is good, in practice, the G27 doesn't work well with the larger mags. Not without a mag sleeve, anyway. This has always been my experience, and I've owned Glocks for a long time.
Slow is smooth.....smooth is fast.
Maybe you should number all of your magazines and keep track of any problems.
If you look at the follower you'll see a number on it. I've had problems with failure to feed on my #7 magazines in my 23 and have since replaced them with the newer #8's. I read on either this forum or on GlockTalk that the #7's have been giving a lot of people problems with failure to feed. I'm not sure if there are issues with other Glock pistols but from what I've read it was just with the 23's.
with all other parts fitting correctly, some mag springs may weaken with lots of use,also if they are kept filled at all times. the depressed spring may weaken. causing the problem.
i've heard of others having similar issues with mags not feeding right. my suggestion would be to gets some mags made for the model you use and avoid useing mags made for a diffn't gun when you can.
"Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result."
-Winston Churchill
Every well-bred petty crook knows: the small concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.
-Inara, firefly
I know you said failure to feed, not extract, but: Not sure what type of extractor the Glock has, but I had an issue with my 92FS once where the extractor claw was gunked up. It wasn't part of the field strip instructions so I never thought of it (it's a bit more involved because you have to tap out a pin). Every once and a while a deep cleaning is probably a good thing.
That, and every once and a while I'll replace the recoil and mag springs with high quality springs like those from Wolff.
I'd be inclined to replace all the mag springs, the recoil spring, give it a good clean and lube and see how it goes.
It is also after things like this that you pay attention to testing the exact components (mags, ammo, lube procedures) you plan to carry.
Good luck,
Try cleaning the mags. Anything that gets in the mag can bind the follower and cause FTFs. Sounds likely because the mag worked fine later. The debris probably worked itself loose. Mark that mag and take it out of rotation until it proves itself.
H&K ...maybe lol
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It sounds like Metro 40 Diagnosed your problem, but I would still upgrade to wolff springs if I were you. The +10% springs can make a world of difference in the magazine's reliability and longevity of service.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Where self preservation is concerned, if you're not cheating, your not trying...
I had FTF with my G21. After replacing the recoil spring, and mag springs, it is working 100%.
I tried Wolf +5% extra power mag springs. Till I switch back to Glock mag springs it was not reliable. All other Wolf springs work just fine
If you don't protect your self, who will?

10 stupidly banned children's books – and the REAL reasons they should be banned
Talking pigs, gay penguins and lots of sneaky communist subtext: who knew children's books were so subversive? Here's 10 children's books, the reasons they were banned and why they really SHOULD be banned.
Writing a children's book is a hiding to nothing. As soon as you put your tome on the shelf marked 'Children' or 'Young Adult', people go all wowser-ish and God-fearing.
Here are 10 famous children's books that have been variously banned, censored and 'challenged' – where an attempt to remove or restrict a book has been made – for their supposed controversial content and subversive talking animals. Who knew talking animals were so malevolent?
Wowsers aside however, there often is a valid reason for banning these books but it's rarely because of the talking animals or the communist subtext.
Read on.
10 stupidly banned children's books - and why they REALLY should have been banned
1. The Catcher In The Rye by J.D Salinger
Why it was banned: This classic, originally published as 'young adult' fiction, has been variously challenged, censored and banned from 1960 onwards.
Why? So many reasons, too numerous to list, but generally the gist seems to be that it encouraged rebellion in adolescents, undermined family values and contained frequent profanity (ie. 'goddamn') In 1978, it was officially banned in Isaquaah, Washington high schools for being, "part of an overall communist plot." I must have missed that subtext.
Why it really should be banned: For encouraging generations of young writers (this one included) to adopt a lazy, colloquial, stream of consciousness, first-person narrative style that supposedly absolves the writer of an obligation to provide a plot.
Read this book again and you will find within the distinctive voice of Holden Caulfield, the genesis of the 'blogger' and today's proliferation of untrained writers (this one included) across the internet.
2. Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Why it was banned: From its original publication in 1900 onwards, this book has been constantly challenged and banned. Most notably, it was banned in the Chinese province of Hunan in 1931 due to the talking animals.
"Animals should not use human language," said the censor without irony. (He did not however specify, what language they SHOULD use.)
It was also banned in the US due to references to masturbation. Dear me. Is that what the whole self-satisfied caterpillar thing was about?
Why it should be banned: The whole book is clearly one big acid trip: disembodied cat heads, a talking rabbit in a waistcoat, a frightening pack of aggressive playing cards, disturbing hallucinations involving bodily distortions, the stoner dormouse who keeps falling asleep at the 'tea' party, croquet mallets that turn out to be flamingos and then the clincher: a bit of an "Oh it was all a dream OR WAS IT?" ending.
3. Where's Waldo? (aka Where's Wally?) by Martin Handford
Why it was banned: In 1987 the book was banned and reprinted because somewhere on that crowded beach was a topless lady. Whoever found that detail was CLEARLY looking very closely. Who has the time (or the 20/20 vision)?
Why it should be banned: For giving parents across the world eye-aches as they try desperately to find Waldo/Wally, so they can turn the page, get on with the story and get their kids into bed.
4. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Why it was banned: On publication in 1964, the original edition raised allegations of racism for its depiction of the Oompa Loompas who were then written as African Pygmies, happily slaving away for a wage of cocoa beans. The pygmies were also willing to be experimented upon. Oh, those imperialist middle-class white British men, they crack me up!
The book was revised in 1973 with the Oompa Loompas becoming orange-skinned dwarves from the fictional Loompaland. I'd say it's only a matter of time before they also have to be 'short-statured people'.
Why it really should be banned: Oh where do I start?
Implying that overweight children are gluttonous pigs who should be sucked up a pipe and shot into the factory's bowels.
The tasteless suggestion that the unemployed and infirm (i.e: Charlie's grandparents) are just lazy bums who won't get out of bed in the morning but are actually perfectly capable of movement when inspired by the promise of free chocolate.
The irresponsible encouragement of worker's comp exploitation: in a classic case of disability fraud, Willy Wonka pretends to have a limp when he first meets the competition winners. He milks it for all it's worth.
(In earlier editions it is rumoured that he was depicted as applying to get a disability parking sticker so he could take the disabled parking space at the factory.)
5. Charlotte's Web by E.B White
Why it was banned: Two very frightening words: talking animals. It was banned in 2006 in Kansas because talking animals are apparently an "insult to God."
But then one British headmistress got really carried away and, as part of some sort of articulate-pigs-be-gone political correctness crackdown, she removed Charlotte's Web (along with a lot of other books with talking pigs) from the school's library. She was worried the books might offend Muslim students. Bless.
To their credit, the Muslim Council of Britain said (and I'm paraphrasing), "Ah, we're fine thanks. You can put those talking pig books back please."
Why it should be banned: Two reasons:
1. For encouraging children to be friends with spiders. DANGER! DANGER!
2. The spider dies in the end. It's sad every time.
(Curiously, no one has ever been outraged by Stuart Little, E.B White's talking rodent who eats at the family dinner table.)
6. The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Why it was banned: In 1988 the book about the dopey tree was banned by a Colorado library for its "sexist" depiction of a greedy, selfish boy and an overly compliant female tree.
Why it should be banned: Um … how about, for not following a proper story arc? The boy just takes-takes-takes and the tree just gives-gives-gives. The end. Where's the complication, Shel? Where's the bit where the protaganist has an epiphany and a change of heart? Dumb boy. Dopey old martyr tree. *giant raspberry*
7. Green Eggs And Ham by Dr Seuss
Why it was banned: Maoist China banned this classic from 1965 til 1991 for depicting "early Marxism".
And then there was something about homosexual seduction. Sam I Am, tempting his friend with the green eggs and ham clearly had other things on his mind according to some wowsers in California, who banned it. I wouldn't know, I can't get past the first page and all those repetitive manic rhymes.
Why it should be banned: Lack of a decent plot, lazy rhymes like 'fox' and 'box' and a jaunty pace that makes kids want to read it over and over and over and over and over. BAN IT!
8. Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
Why it was banned: It took Sendak four years to get his dark tale of boyhood rebellion past his publishers. They originally thought it too frightening for small children. When it was finally published, it was pulled from many libraries and schools in the American south due to its "glorifying" of Max's tantrums and rebellion. Prominent child pyschologist, Bruno Bettenheim even weighed in, declaring the themes way too dark and frightening for a child to process.
Why it should be banned: The final page, where there's no illustration, just the words, "And it was still hot." It's disappointing every time. Lazy.
9. Lord Of The Flies by William Golding
Why it was banned: This book has been banned or challenged so many times by librarians and booksellers that it is number eight on the American Library Association's list of frequently banned classics. The charges include: too frightening for children, excessive violence and its "demoralising" view implying that, "man is little more than an animal" (Owen High School, North Carolina US 1981).
Why it should be banned: Forget about the kids, this howler is way too frightening for parents. If we took our foot off the parenting and morality accelerator for a week or so, THIS would happen? Yikes!
10. And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell
Why it was banned: Released in 2005, and based on a true story, Tango Makes Three, depicts two male penguins in Central Park Zoo, who do everything together and end up raising their own baby penguin. According to the New York Public Library's dossier of banned and challenged picture books, this OUTRAGEOUS tale was the most challenged book in their catalogue from 2006 -2010. I mean, I don't mind what penguins do in the privacy of their own homes but …
The Focus on the Family Action group nearly popped a vein, calling it a "very misleading … very disingenuous, inaccurate way to promote a political agenda to little kids."
Clearly not fans of the whole gay marriage movement then?
Why it should be banned: For its stereotypical depiction of gay men as neat freak, compulsive nesters who like to dress smart and wear tuxedos. Who's ever known any gay men like THAT?
What children's book do you think should be banned and why? You don't even need a sane reason: just post your unqualified opinion below.

Chad Henne is getting another opportunity at starting in the NFL.
How well he performs could resolve whether Blaine Gabbert gets one, too.
The Jaguars named Henne their starting QB for Sunday's game against Titans, the latest change for a team frantic to snap a 7-game losing streak.
Coach Mike Mularkey made the statement; a day after Henne threw for 354 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 43-37 overtime loss at Houston.
Mularkey pinned the decision on Henne's performance – not Gabbert's injury.
"We're trying to find a way to produce and win," expounded Mularkey, who has made other lineup changes at RB, receiver, left guard and nose tackle in recent weeks. "We're just attempting to find tactics to see if we are able to be more profitable that's all. It's no different."
Gabbert hurt his right forearm early in the game and had trouble gripping the ball.
Henne replaced him in the 1st quarter and finished 16 of 33 passes. He connected with Cecil Shorts III on a 67-yard touchdown and later hitched up with Justin Blackmon for an 81-yard score. He also found tight end Marcedes Lewis for two TDs in the red zone.
"He's been a starter in the league. He's had some success at that position," Mularkey said. "He was brought in here in case something happened to Blaine, to step in there and produce, which he probably did. He prepares like he's a starter each week.
"That's the number one thing about him. He's been the as much of a help for Blaine's progress as anyone. He prepares each week just like he's going to play every down. He doesn't get all of the reps, but he watches a lot of film. He's taught our young guys the best way to watch film and basically understand what they are watching and what they are searching for. It just showed up on the tape yesterday."
Mularkey said Gabbert is questionable against the Titans (4-6).
If Gabbert can't play, the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-9) will promote John Parker Wilson from the practice squad to serve as Henne's backup.
"Blaine's injury is still up in the air," Mularkey asserted. "It's still debatable about the strength in that hand. I'd take care to say that he has a chance to play this week."
Henne also replaced an injured Gabbert against Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 8 and completed 10 of 16 passes for 121 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. The Jaguars signed Henne to a 2 year, $6.75 million deal in March, bringing the previous Miami Dolphins starter in to be Gabbert's backup. Scores
Jaguars traded up to draft Gabbert with the 10th overall pick last year. The former Missouri Tigers standout struggled as a rookie and showed signs of progress earlier this year. But he obviously took a step backwards against the Colts, lacking pocket presence, rushing throws and missing open receivers.
Given that Jaguars likely will have a high pick in the 2012 draft, it is imperative the team figure out whether Gabbert is its franchise QB.
Gabbert has completed 53.8% of his passes in 2 seasons – 24 starts – for 3,876 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He's been sacked 62 times.

The economy has brought truck sales to a near standstill, but there is opportunity amid the damage. If they buy now, contractors can get great deals on pickups brimming with mechanical sophistication (see Truck Report 2009).
Although there's no point in accentuating the negative, some perspective on just how far the market has retreated over the past year may help when it comes to striking a bargain at your local truck dealer. And despite the way the media has focused on the relative fuel inefficiency of trucks compared to other automobiles, the sale of pickups on a vehicle-to-vehicle basis continues to outpace the sale of passenger cars in the United States.
Automotive industry data for the top full-size pickups, comparing monthly sales in October 2008 against October 2007, include:
Ford F-150
43,324 sold (down 19.4%)
Chevy Silverado
31,689 sold (down 37.4%)
Dodge Ram 1500
17,626 sold (down 31.3%)
GMC Sierra
11,256 sold (down 37.8%)
Toyota Tundra
6,425 sold (down 65.4%)

Time For Cool Sweep
Rochester N.Y.-, N.Y. - It must be that time of year again. Monday will mark the first Cool Sweep operation of the 2013 summer season.
Mayor Thomas S. Richards made the announcement, to get ready for temperatures that are expected to reach 85 degrees.
Cool Sweep is the city's annual public safety and customer service program for city residents who have limited opportunities to beat the heat. Residents can cool down using the spray from fire hydrants.
"I urge all city residents to take advantage of Cool Sweep, enjoy swimming pools during the hot weather and take the necessary steps to stay healthy and safe by staying cool," Mayor Richards said.

Kozma, 23, was first called up to St. Louis on May 18. He hit home runs in his first two games after being returned to Memphis on June 3, but has struggled with the bat since. Kozma is just 12-for-51 (.216) with the Redbirds this time around and is down to .219 on the season.
In the corresponding transactions, shortstop Tyler Greene and first baseman Mark Hamilton were optioned to Memphis. On Saturday at least, the Redbirds only activated Hamilton. Since this is the first time down to Memphis for Greene this season, he may be given a bit more time to report. This is Hamilton's second up and down cycle in 2011. Springfield is temporarily down one player.
Greene, 27, batted just .198 with St. Louis in 101 at-bats over 49 games and had been with the club since spring training. He also has been erratic in the field, with a crucial miss of second base and throw to perhaps the wrong base on Friday evening.
Hamilton has torn up Triple-A hitting, but has looked lost at the plate in his first two major league stints. As a Cardinal, the left-handed hitter is just 3-for-26 (.115), with an 0-for-11 subset in his most recent stay in the bigs, which began on June 3.

On day three of the U.S. [2] and Russian [3] diplomatic gathering, several key points regarding "what's next" for Syria have been established.
-The U.S. and Russia have reached an agreement on the plan for securing Syria's chemical weapons. Some elements include a timetable and expectations for Syria as well as what would happen should Syria fail to follow through. "We have committed to a standard that says, verify and verify." says Kerry.
-The Syrian opposition is expected to select an interim Prime Minister [4], said Khalid Saleh, a spokesman for the Syrian National Coalition.
-The much anticipated chemical weapons inspectors report on Syria is expected to be released to the Security Council at 11 AM on Monday although there have been warnings that the release date could change due to shifting information.
-In the meantime, US has agreed to table its threat of military action on Syria.
As many factors lay in the balance on the absolute direction Syria is moving, "one day at a time" is the mantra for expected developments.

FDA Approves "Plan B" for OTC Sale to Women Ages 15 and Up
Published May 1st, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - Girls as young as age 15 will soon be able to purchase a form of contraception known as "Plan B" following a policy change announced Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration.
Stores will now offer the so-called "morning-after pill" over-the-counter, as long as the purchaser is able to prove they are over the age of 15.
Tuesday's announcement comes almost a month after a federal judge ruled that the morning-after pill be made available over-the-counter to all women and girls regardless of age.
But women's rights groups involved in the lawsuit say the new rules do not fully comply with the judge's order.
"It just makes it less and less accessible, so it's not over-the-counter for those 15 and over, it's behind-the-counter for all women," said Candi Churchill, one of nine plaintiffs who filed suit against the FDA nearly a decade ago, in an attempt to make Plan B more widely available.
"I believe they're in contempt of court. I believe they're defying a government order to make this available immediately," said Churchill.
The FDA says the new "Plan B" policy is not related to the judge's ruling from early April. Regardless, the agency now has until May 6 to comply with that ruling, and make the pill available to all age groups without a prescription.
If not, Churchill says the National Women's Liberation group plans to file a motion holding the FDA in contempt of court.

Ron Gilbert
|This article's lead section may not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (August 2013)
|Ron Gilbert
Ron Gilbert, July 2013
|La Grande, Oregon
|Video game designer, programmer, and producer
Ron Gilbert is an American video-game designer, programmer, and producer, best known for his work on several classic LucasArts adventure games, including Maniac Mansion and the first two Monkey Island games. His games are generally focused on interactive story-telling.
After leaving LucasArts, Gilbert co-founded Humongous Entertainment and its sister company Cavedog Entertainment. After leaving Humongous Entertainment, he cofounded Hulabee Entertainment with Shelley Day. He was creative director at Vancouver-based Hothead Games development studio. In 2013, he announced that he would move on from Double Fine Productions.
Early career[edit]
Ron Gilbert was born in La Grande, Oregon, as the son of David E. Gilbert, a physics professor and former president of Eastern Oregon University (then Eastern Oregon State College). Initially, he thought of himself going into a career for film direction.[1] He became interested in games when he was thirteen years old thanks to a Texas Instruments TI-59 programmable calculator his father used to bring home. He found the ability to program games on the calculator interesting, citing an example of a Battleship-like game that was included on the calculator, leading him wanting him to learn how to program other games. Gilbert saw the potential to program games as a creative outlet as he continued his studies towards the film industry.[1][2] Another thing that made him approach the gaming world was a film, Star Wars (1977). His fascination with programming technology, which allowed gamers to interact with characters and situations, mixed with his love for telling stories, like that of "Star Wars", were his main inspirations to start making games.[2]
The impact of Star Wars and his love for telling stories was so big that Ron Gilbert, at the age of fourteen, and his good friend Tom McFarlane made a couple of films on a Super-8 camera. The first film they shot in 1978 was Stars Blasters; it was directed by Ron Gilbert and acted by friends Tom McFarlane and Frank Lang. In 1979 they filmed another movie, Tomorrow Never Came, acted by Ron Gilbert, Tom McFarlane; it was also directed by Ron Gilbert.
In 1979 his parents purchased a NorthStar Horizon home computer. At the age of fifteen, he took his first steps in game programming. He used to study and analyze games for hours; capturing in his mind every frame of the layout of games like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Asteroids, Space Invaders or Robotron: 2084; taking notes of every detail and then trying to replicate them on his computer. Once the games were replicated he would start doing experiments with them, adding changes. He also used to look at Atari 2600 games' advertisements in magazines, then imagined what the game was like to play and tried to make them on his computer. Once the games were finished he used to bring his friends home to test the games and tell him what did they like or did not like.[3]
|This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (August 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Gilbert began his professional career in 1983 while he was still a student at Eastern Oregon State College by writing a program named Graphics Basic with Tom McFarlane. They sold the program to a San Francisco Bay Area company named HESware, which later offered Gilbert a job. He spent about half a year at HESware, programming action games for the Commodore 64 (C64). None of them were ever released; the company went out of business. Shortly thereafter, Gilbert joined Lucasfilm Games, which later became LucasArts. There he earned his living by doing C64 ports of Lucasfilm Atari 800 games. In 1985 he got the opportunity to co-develop his own game for LucasArts together with graphics artist Gary Winnick. Maniac Mansion was about a dark Victorian mansion populated by a mad scientist, his family and strange aliens.[3]
Gilbert created a scripting language that was named after the project it had been written for, the Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion, better known as SCUMM. The technology was used in all subsequent LucasArts adventure games, with the exception of Grim Fandango and Escape From Monkey Island. Despite being an internal production tool, the SCUMM acronym became well known to gamers since a location in The Secret of Monkey Island, the SCUMM Bar, was named after it.
Gilbert created many successful adventure games at LucasArts, including the classic The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. In 1992, he left the company to start Humongous Entertainment with LucasArts producer Shelley Day. While at Humongous Entertainment, Gilbert was responsible for games such as Putt-Putt, Fatty Bear, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam and the Backyard Sports series. Many of these games continued to use an offshoot of the SCUMM engine.
Post LucasArts[edit]
In 1995, Gilbert founded Cavedog Entertainment, Humongous' sister company for non-kids games. In 1996, GameSpot named him as the 15th on their list of the most influential people in computer gaming of all time.[4] In 1997, Computer Gaming World similarly ranked him as number 15 on the list of the most influential people of all time in computer gaming for inventing the SCUMM engine.[5] While at Cavedog, Gilbert was the producer of Total Annihilation and worked on a game titled Good & Evil. Widely regarded as his pet project, Good & Evil was said to incorporate many different themes and gameplay styles. The game was previewed by several publications, but the project was cancelled when Cavedog closed down in 1999. In an interview with GameSpot conducted a while after Cavedog's shut-down, Gilbert said the Good & Evil project had suffered due to him trying to design a game and run a company at the same time.[6][7]
As of 2005, Ron Gilbert was independently designing an unspecified new adventure/R.P.G., which he was pitching to publishers. He also started a blog "Grumpy Gamer", offering game industry commentary, occasionally in the form of animated cartoons that he created with Voodoo Vince designer Clayton Kauzlaric.
In 2007, Gilbert created "Threepwood", an exclusively Monkey Island-themed guild on the World of Warcraft server Quel'Dorei,[8] and Gilbert began to collaborate with Hothead Games on Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, a game based on the webcomic Penny Arcade.[9] He was chosen to be the Keynote Speaker for Penny Arcade Expo for 2009.
In January 2008, he joined Hothead Games as creative director, with whom he was developing DeathSpank, an adventure/R.P.G.[10] Although still working at Hothead Games, Gilbert contributed to the design for Telltale Games' Tales of Monkey Island, taking part in the brainstorming process early in the development of the game.[11] The episodic fifth entry in the Monkey Island series marked the first time Gilbert worked on a Monkey Island game since 1991's LeChuck's Revenge. On April 6, 2010, on his blog he announced that he left Hothead Games. He will continue to promote DeathSpank with Electronic Arts.[12]
In September 2010, it was revealed that Gilbert had been hired by fellow former LucasArts game designer Tim Schafer, to work at Schafer's own Double Fine Productions. In February 2012, Tim Schafer confirmed he will be working with Ron Gilbert on a new adventure game. In May 2012, the game was revealed as The Cave, which was released as a downloadable title by Sega in 2013.[13]
After the buying of LucasArts by The Walt Disney Company in 2012, the rights to the Monkey Island series became the company's property. Ron Gilbert has been quoted in November 2012 as not being optimistic about the franchise's future, believing that Disney might abandon the franchise in favor of Pirates of the Caribbean,[14] however, in December 2012, he was also quoted as wishing to contact Disney, hoping to "make the game he wants to make".[15]
In March 2013, Gilbert left Double Fine Productions revealing that his joining the studio was purely for the creation of The Cave: "I was telling him [Tim Schafer] about The Cave and he really liked it, so he said 'come to Double Fine and make it. It was really all about making that game." Most recently he worked on the iOS and Android game Scurvy Scallywags with DeathSpank co-creator Clayton Kauzlaric.[16]
On November 18, 2014, it was revealed that he had reunited with Gary Winnick, with whom he created his early critically acclaimed point'n'click games at LucasArts, and that they were working together on a new point'n'click game called Thimbleweed Park. The game reached its funding target on the crowd sourcing site Kickstarter on December 18 and was released on March 30, 2017 in full 'talkie' mode for Windows, Linux, Mac and Xbox One. A port to iOS and Android was confirmed after the project met its last stretch-goal.[17]

How to Pay a Traffic Ticket in Ohio
Citations or traffic tickets are issued in the State of Ohio for various violations of traffic law. You must respond to a citation, usually by paying a fine or appearing in court, or else a warrant may be issued for your arrest and your driving license may be suspended.
If you wish to dispute the citation, you must appear in court personally on the scheduled date, and enter a "not guilty" plea. Appearing in court gives you an opportunity to fight the traffic ticket in front of a judge or jury, and most people prefer to hire a traffic ticket lawyer to defend them in court. For more information on how to dispute a traffic ticket in Ohio, see our general section on Traffic Tickets and Violations.
When you pay a ticket, you are essentially pleading guilty to a traffic offense. Motorists should be aware that receiving and paying a traffic citation could result in higher car insurance rates and points on your driving record. Your license may be suspended if you accumulate too many points on your driving record.
If you decide to plead guilty to a traffic violation, there are several ways to pay the ticket. Generally, the back of the citation will clearly indicate the deadlines and options for answering the ticket. Usually, you must act within fifteen days of receiving a traffic ticket to avoid additional fines and possible suspension of your license.
- Pay online. Some towns let you pay your traffic tickets online. Payment options will be listed on the ticket. In most places you have to pay by mail or in person.
- Pay by mail. Read the instructions on the back of the ticket carefully, then check the "Guilty" box and sign the ticket. Enclose a check or money order for the payment and mail to the court where your ticket is answerable. The mailing address and a contact number is usually listed on the ticket.
Be sure to retain a copy of the citation for your personal records.
- Pay in person. You can pay your traffic tickets at the court where your ticket is answerable. Bring the citation with you, along with the payment. You will find the court location, and a contact number if you want more information, listed on the ticket.
If you decide to plead not guilty and dispute the ticket, read the instructions on the back of the ticket carefully. The instructions will generally indicate when and how to plead not guilty, and information about appearing in court to dispute your ticket. See our general section on Traffic Tickets and Violations for more information about how to dispute a traffic ticket in Ohio State.
Remember that you cannot be found guilty of committing a traffic offense unless there is clear, accurate and convincing evidence that you committed the violation. Charges may be dismissed in court if the citation includes vague or incorrect information. For instance, vehicle information, time, location and circumstances must all be indicated correctly on the ticket. Many motorists choose to consult with a traffic ticket attorney to help them evaluate the validity of the ticket, and whether or not it is likely to be dismissed in court.
If you lost a traffic ticket after receiving it, you must contact the court where the ticket is answerable.
- For more information on how to handle your traffic tickets consult our Traffic Tickets and Violations and Traffic Ticket Attorneys pages.

- - Why does TuF always have to have a storyline? (http://www.mmaforum.com/ultimate-fighter-tv/76335-why-does-tuf-always-have-have-storyline.html)
Why does TuF always have to have a storyline?
I think the UFC told Josh Koscheck to be an asshole to sale next season. It will get views because everyone wants to see the bad guy lose blah blah blah.
What ever happened to the good ol TUF days? Like TUF 1 and 2, back when there were no scripts and it was just coachs training fighters to be the best of the best. Now a days TUF is so scripted I just can't watch it.
Just a rant.
TUF is so important for mma and for UFC right now,
that i think they should pick the coaches with better care.
Im mean, it´s as public as mma gets and for the sake of the sport the coaches should be representing the best mma as to offer not only as a fighter but as a person as well.
Having said that, i dont think Kos is the right person to play that role.
He has no honour, he has no pride and is devious as it gets. The worst choice possible to coach in TUF.
Luckly GSP, will be there representing all the opposite.
p.s - Too bad about all the time we´re gonna have to wait to see another title fight at WW.
p.s.2 - UFC doesnt need to tell Kos to be an ass, He´s pretty good at that being himself.
Yeah they do represent opposite personalities and it's interesting to see how that is going to play out.
I think Kos is an ass, but have a feeling he may make a good coach, just like TITO, as he has a massive will to win, and of course will be interesting/annoying to watch.
I think George being the classy guy he is will be a bt boring to watch as he wont rise to kos.
I'd really like to watch Sonnen, Brock at some point also, as I think they'd be interesting.
They are borrowing from wrestling. TuF is based on The WWE's tough enough. They have GSP playing the role of the "face" or good guy in this situation, while Kos is playing the "heel" I expect them to both blow their roles out of proportion.
I am wondering, if my theory is true, about why they did not pick an underdog face to overcome the superior, evil heel?
I don't think "prowrestling" has anything to do with what the UFC does related to the Ultimate Fighter!
brock would make a HORRIBLE coach. he've very anti-social and selfish, i cannot see him doing much on the coaching side of the show, bonding with the guys, caring about winning the coaches challenge; he'd be like Shamrock was and only get 1 win based only on the guy's natural talent.
(watched many shoot interviews with Paul Heyman, the Hardy Boys, Chris Jericho and others who have worked with Brock back in the day; unless he REALLY grew up in the past 5 years....
One thing he isn't selfish in is his caring for his family. Not sure how good of a father he is though!

Judging by the massive spike in selfies (and response selfies) and lunch shots in our Instagram feeds following the debut of their new video functionality, it certainly seemed like a successful launch.
Now, thanks to some stats that the team just shared with us, we know exactly how well it did right out of the gate.
In the first 24 hours after the switch was flipped, Instagram saw 5 million videos uploaded. That's a jaw-droppingly huge number for any day one feature, but remember: Instagram does have 130 million users. Even if we assume that each of the 5 million videos came from a unique user (an absolutely wild assumption, of course), that works out to around 3.8% of Instagram's userbase giving the new feature a spin.
In the first 8 hours alone, Instagram saw roughly a year's worth of content uploaded.

LAS VEGAS--Windows multimedia mainstay Corel today introduces AfterShot Pro, a powerful photography workflow program tailor-made for professionals and high-level enthusiasts.
Positioned as a competitor to the popular Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program and the less popular ACDSee Pro, AfterShot Pro offers a full raw workflow and nondestructive editing environment based on the core technology of Bibble Labs, Corel's latest acquisition.
One unique aspect of AfterShot is its flexible asset management. While many other programs ask you to import files in order to open them up, AfterShot Pro lets you view, edit, and process images without having to worry about cataloging. Couple this with the program's powerful metadata features, and zipping around and organizing your media becomes pretty simple.
Another feature we like is AfterShot's batch processing. Comparable with Adobe's Sync Settings feature, AfterShot's batch processing lets photographers potentially save hours of editing time by renaming, converting, or applying adjustments to several files all at once.
As expected, AfterShot is seamlessly integrated with its sister program PaintShop Pro, which is convenient for Corel fans. With a few clicks you can jump over to PaintShop Pro, use some of its more powerful editing features, then go right back to AfterShot to work with your newly edited image. Alternatively, you can bring your image into Adobe Photoshop or another image editor of your choice, right from within the AfterShot interface as well.
Corel AfterShot Pro for Windows is available for $99.99, but you may be eligible for a $79.99 download if you own a previously licensed version of Bibble Pro or Lite 5, Corel PaintShop Pro Photo X2 or higher, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, or Apple Aperture.

Peace Corps Volunteers
Date: February 16, 2012
Place: Washington DC
Interview: Laura and Rob Gray, Former Peace Corps Volunteers
Watch the Video in English
Video Description:
Meet Laura and Rob, two former volunteers who worked in Zambia! Learn about how they helped as health and education volunteers.
Video Transcript:
Peace Corps is a program that allows people from the United States to volunteer 2 years to live and work in another country. Peace Corp volunteers work side by side with the native people to develop industry, education or business in the country that they serve.
Meet Laura and Rob.
Laura Gray, Former Peace Corps Volunteer:
I served with my husband in Zambia from 2007-2009. I was a health volunteer, so I worked with traditional midwives (women that cared for pregnant women) and community health workers educating people about different common health illnesses.
Rob Gray, Former Peace Corps Volunteer:
I was an education volunteer. They were called rural educational development volunteers. In Zambia, they had an issue with not enough schools, basically, for the children there. So what they chose to do was broadcast radio lessons over, broadcast school lessons over the radio. So the children would be able to listen to the radio with the help of a skilled teacher.
Zambia is in southern Africa. It's two countries above South Africa. So it goes South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia. It's about the size of Texas in terms of the total land area and it's got about 11 million people, which is about the same number of people in Minnesota.
Zambia uses kwacha. A hundred kwacha can get you a couple of bananas or a few tomatoes, and the equivalence in dollars is like 3 cents or something like that.
Laura: Most volunteers in Zambia were welcomed by their neighbor as kind of a family member, so they would invite you in and have nightly dinner with them. And you make family where you are, so the communities really welcomes you and they become your friends and your family.
Rob: There was a pen pal system. So the kids in Zambia would write to the kids in America and back and forth.
If you are watching this and you're interested in getting involved, what you can do is ask your teacher to submit a letter to the World Wise Schools program. They'll match you up. They'll match up your entire class with another class of a currently serving Peace Corps volunteer. You can get your letters sent back and forth. It's really a great thing to do. And nowadays depending on where the kids are that they're serving with, occasionally you can set up web chats and web cams.

Third child dies as result of fire
July 27, 2013 10:19 AM
CHESTER (AP) — A 4-year-old boy has died from his injuries in a Pennsylvania house fire that had already claimed the lives of two other children.
Chester police said Friday afternoon that Moses McKnight has died after suffering serious burns in the fire early Wednesday morning.
His sister Bella McKnight, 6, and cousin Amajhay Ferguson, 9, perished in the blaze.
There were six children in the house when the fire broke out. Three of them lived in the home and the other three were cousins staying for a visit.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Five firefighters were also hurt in the blaze, which happened two blocks from the Widener University campus.

Carrie Underwood: Ready to Take 'Blown Away' On The Road
She's riding high as her fourth album 'Blown Away' is perched atop the Billboard charts, and now Carrie Underwood is readying to embark on the first dates of the disc's accompanying tour - which runs through the end of 2012.
The 29-year-old country cutie recently spoke with "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" about her new music and hitting the road, as she dished about her single "Forever Changed' by saying, "It's set in another time. It's another one that you can see this movie play out as you listen to the song. It's definitely one…I've been talking about it so much, because I think it's one of the best well written songs I've ever heard in my life. So I'm amazed that I got my hands on it, but I am worried that me talking about it as much as I have been…I don't want it to be a single, because I can't sing it! I can't do it! I've never been able to listen to it or sing it and actually get through the whole thing."
Of her album as a whole, Miss Underwood explained, "There's really no particular theme. A lot of the songs are very visual, but in different ways. It's kind of a roller coaster, and I think I pushed things in a lot of different directions. We got a little bit darker, and a little bit lighter. I sing songs that are a little more traditional country than I've every done before. So…I'm a little schizo…when it comes to making an album. In a good way, because I think there's something for everyone."
As for her tour, the "American Idol" alumna will be making a stop at LSU Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on May 26th followed by two June shows in Tennessee before heading overseas for a single UK concert and a string of Australian appearances.
Giving herself a little over a month off to build up her energy, Carrie's main U.S. tour kicks off on September 14th in New Hampshire with the complete rundown of scheduled gigs running through December being as follows:

Manchester Airports Group today confirmed it will make bid for Stansted Airport.
In September, MAG revealed it had sold a 35 per cent stake to Australian group Industry Funds Management in order to fund a move for a "quality airport."
Current Stansted owner BAA has been forced to dispose of the gateway by competition authorities.
Now, MAG, owned by Greater Manchester's 10 council has confirmed it will lodge a formal offer.
Analysts have placed a £1bn price tag on Stansted, which handles around 18 million passengers a year.
MAG chief executive Charlie Cornish said: "Together with IFM, we can confirm that we will make a bid for Stansted Airport.
"Having conducted a strategic review of the group, we believe its addition to MAG will generate shareholder value in combination with our existing airports in the North, South West and Midlands markets.
"MAG has a proven track record in running profitable, growing airports through its successful approach to customer service, retail, car parking, property management and aviation development which would benefit passengers in the south east.
"IFM share our long term investment vision and by moulding its financial strength alongside ours and with our strong background of airport management experience, we believe we can play a vital role in the successful growth of the British aviation industry and UK Plc."
Under the deal it has struck with infrastructure fund IFM, largest shareholder Manchester council will reduce its shareholding from 55 per cent to 35 per cent.
The remaining nine Greater Manchester councils will jointly have a 30 per cent stake, down from 45 per cent. Manchester council will have equal voting rights as IFM.
MAG also owns the East Midlands and Bournemouth Airports. In August, it sold its majority stake in Humberside Airport.

Assessing Fire Fees
Gainesville Fire Rescue is holding a public meeting at Lincoln Middle School to explain just how much they need and what they're asking from residential, commercial, and religious property owners.
Gainesville Fire Rescue says the department is facing a shortfall of $650,000 for next year's budget.
The reason? They say the result of Amendment One passing, and thereby limiting how much the city can generate in funds for the services they provide, which means the potential loss of 14 firefighters and trucks taken out of service.
Since June 19th, the fire department has been fielding phone calls from the public asking just how much a fire assessment fee would affect them if the city passes the proposition.
On average, homeowners could see an additional bill up to $30 for the year. While warehouse, commercial and institutional property owners would pay based on square footage.from 2 cents to 6 cents per square foot.
The fire assesment fee, if passed, would apply only to fire fighting services that protect building structures.
"The service we provide in fire fighting, strictly benefits the property the building is on fire we put it out we save the building," said Gainesville Fire Rescue Chief Bill Northcutt. "What we do for EMS saves the people that is not assessable in assessing the property."
The fire assessment fee cannot apply to government-owned property, like the University of Florida, which is tax exempt. but, they have asked UF to contribute 2.9 million dollars for the 15 million square feet of property GFR is responsible for covering.
The final public hearing will be on July 16th, after which city commissioners will vote on whether they'll pass the fee.
