CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls most in month as energy stocks slump
(Adds portfolio manager comment, updates prices to close)
* TSX ends down 105.73 points, or 0.73 percent, at 14,477.01
* Eight of the TSX's 10 main groups fall, energy off 2.4 percent
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index suffered its biggest one-day fall in more than a month on Tuesday, with energy stocks slumping 2.4 percent as fears of an oil supply glut haunted investors.
Oil prices turned lower, dragging U.S. crude below $40 a barrel on persistent worries of a glut after peaking above $50 in early June.
"That definitely weighs on sentiment, especially where Canadian investors are concerned," said Elvis Picardo, strategist at Global Securities in Vancouver.
Energy stocks accounts for almost one-fifth of the index's weight.
The most influential drags included major oil and gas producers Suncor Energy Inc, which fell 3.1 percent to C$34.06, Cenovus Energy, which lost 4 percent to C$17.95, and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd, down 1.9 percent at C$38.79. Continued...

Gareth Bale will be one of the front-runners when Jack Collison and his fellow professionals vote for their player of the year.
However, the West Ham midfielder may think twice about voting for the Tottenham winger, depending on the result of tonight's London derby at Upton Park.
Collison plays alongside Bale in the Wales midfield so has seen up close why the Spurs man is a potential match-winner and in the frame for his second Professional Footballers' Association top individual award to follow up his win in 2011.
"Gareth has a great shout for the PFA Player of the Year," said Collison. "Robin van Persie and Luis Suarez will be in the running as well but you would have to say Gareth has improved his all-round game so much this season.
"It's not just what he brings to a team, he plays with a smile on his face as well which is refreshing. It's going to be hard to look beyond him when I cast my vote but if he scores against us tonight, I might be voting for someone else!"
Given that they are international colleagues, Collison is pefectly placed to form an expert opinion on the Spurs player.
"We both played in the Wales team against Austria this month," he said. "I was on the left of midfield and Gareth was on the right. It's always good fun to play with someone like that because he is liable to do something extraordinary.
"It's especially nice to know that, if you're digging in as a team, keeping it tight and working hard, he's going to make a chance for himself at some stage and usually finish it off.
"I've played against him as well and you know what's you're up against — pace, enthusiasm, energy. More recently for Spurs he's firing in the goals as well.
"He's going to be hard to stop — he always is — but we will have a game plan and we'll stick to that. It's down to the manager how he wants us to play. Whatever he tells the starting 11 to do, they'll have to try and do it otherwise there will be people waiting on the bench to come on and have a go.
"At the moment, though, I would put Gareth up their with Messi and Ronaldo — that's how highly I rate him."
Bale has become a target for Europe's top clubs with Real Madrid said to be preparing a huge offer to try and tempt Spurs to sell this summer.
"He's still young and it will be up to him to make a decision about his future," said Collison. "It would be a big loss to the Premier League though, if he does go abroad.
"It would be a mistake if we become too distracted with Gareth tonight though because Spurs have plenty of other top players."
Since the turn of the year, West Ham have fallen away, winning only two of their seven League games. Only six points separate West Ham from third from bottom Aston Villa and Collison knows the Hammers must reverse their slump quickly.
"We want to get to that 40-point mark as soon as possible and although we only have three games in March, it will give us the chance to get everyone back and fit," said Collison, who is trying hard to win back his first-team place after missing a large part of the season with a chronic knee condition. "It's been frustrating on a personal level but I just need to get my head down and take my chance when it comes. The bonus is that the knee feels great.
"Our home form has been magnificent this season while last year it was the other way around.
"It should be a fantastic game. The players and the fans will be up for it and we will also be marking the 20th anniversary of Bobby Moore's death which will make the evening more special.
"Everyone has been able to see what a wonderful footballer Bobby was but what really comes across to me is how he was off the pitch — a complete gentleman. His legacy lives on with the Bobby Moore cancer charity and long may that continue."
West Ham have requested that fans take their seats early tonight, with the build-up beginning at 7.40pm, including a minute's applause for the former England and Hammers captain and supporters in the Bobby Moore stand taking part in a mosaic depicting the defender's No6 shirt.

Date: 10/1/2013 6:30 p.m.Location: Rowntree Recital Hall, Walton Fine Arts Center
Poetry Night will feature an evening of poetry readings featuring Jack Heflin, and the husband and wife duo of C.D. Wright and Forrest Gander of Rhode Island.
Heflin, a professor of English at the University of Louisiana in Monroe, recently published his second book, "Local Hope," a critically acclaimed collection of 43 poems. His first collection, "The Map of Leaving," won the Montana First Book Award. His poems have appeared in many journals, including The Antioch Review, Poetry Northwest, Nimrod, Willow Springs, the Missouri Review, Green Mountains Review and Poetry East, and in several anthologies.
Mountain Home native C.D. Wright will be on campus on October 1 for a poetry reading with her husband Forrest Gander.
A native of Mountain Home, Ark., Wright is a professor of literary arts at Brown University. She has published over a dozen books, including "Rising, Falling, Hovering (2008)"; "Like Something Flying Backwards: New and Selected Poems (2007)"; and a text edition of "One Big Self: An Investigation (2003)," a project she undertook with photographer Deborah Luster to document Louisiana inmates. She has also published several book-length poems, including the critically acclaimed "Deepstep Come Shining (1998)."
Born in California's Mojave Desert, poet Forrest Gander grew up in Virginia and attended the College of William & Mary, where he majored in geology. After receiving an MA in literature from San Francisco State University, Gander moved to Mexico, then to Arkansas, where his poetry—informed by his knowledge of geology—turned its attention to landscape as foreground or source of action. Gander's books of poetry include "Eye Against Eye (2005)," "Torn Awake (2001)," and "Science & Steepleflower (1998)." Though primarily a poet, Gander is also a translator, novelist, essayist, and the editor of two anthologies.

Would you bail on the auto makers?
December 17, 2008
THE TALK... | Management
Well, it turns out our poll was pretty timely. Even though the majority of industry voters were against the bailout, President George W. Bush pushed the deal forward last week.
Survey Results for 12/17/2008:
Should President Bush issue a bailout to U.S. auto makers?
So now let's get to the fun stuff. Worms, c'mon outta your can!! I had to cut down the waves of responses I received, but here are a few industry comments, starting with my favorite:
"Ms. Lewellen,
Are you sure you want to pose such a question to such an opinionated industry? Wow, you either 'got guts' or a lot of time to read the flood of e-mails you'll get. ...Okay, here is my two cents (down from a dollar in the past year) worth... They aren't too big to fail. They are too poorly run to survive. Period.
But America will have the last say. We cannot be forced to buy their products, no matter what the incentives. They will fail now, or they will fail later, but two out of the three will be gone within two years. And I ... will never buy another car or truck from any of them."
"Fiscal irresponsibility does not warrant a bailout. Run your company into the ground, (I use the term 'your company' loosely, as it's the stock holder's company) continue to receive executive compensation in the millions for poor performance, allow the union to break you with benefits that are unheard of for the bulk of U.S. employees--and in particular blue collar workers—and what you have is a formula for failure. Bailout or no bailout there will be minimal opportunity for a successful business moving forward."
"My stand is, if the union,the auto workers and the Big 3 don't want to make the required concessions for federal help, then let them go bankrupt."
"After the bank bailout fiasco, I feel the only way to get accountability with bailout money is to force these businesses to file Chapter 11... The only way to really stimulate the economy would be to put the citizens back to work and make home loans that make sense."
"Our economy succeeds with less government, not more. This is no exception...[C]hapter 11 bankruptcy will widen the impact and involve creditors as the interested stakeholders they should be. The world will not end. Cars will still be made and sold. But hopefully they'll produce cars that people want and need and that don't drop a transmission after a year of use."
"No bailout, they need to fix their business model. Chapter 11 would give them the chance for a clean slate."
"...[M]ost of these factory/manufacturing workers may not have a college degree, but they are making a lot more than someone with a degree, yet when they are let go, they can't find a job to pay for their lifestyle. Realistically, GM, Ford, and Chrysler need to revamp their whole system, and align wages with reality! So there should be a bailout but only with change. If they are not willing to change, then NO bailout."
"The Big 3 are American-owned companies which provide jobs to millions of people—from the plants to the suppliers to the dealerships to the restaurants and grocery stores that feed all these people. The country will be responsible for paying more to unemployed workers. We think it's bad today, just wait until suppliers and dealerships go out of business. Is the country ready to send all manufacturing overseas? Why are we so opposed to helping fellow Americans?"
"Solution: Give the loans but insist on terms such as limits to executive bonuses, workers' wages and pensions have to be re-nogotiated... All of this has to have an auto czar with powers to control the money until it is paid back... Just my thoughts for people who say, 'Don't help them,' be careful what you wish for."
"Well, I'm somewhat torn with this. My wife works for a spin-off of the auto industry which if not bailed out could have an adverse affect on her/us. Having said that, my gut tells me, to let them survive on their own....The biggest problem is the number of people that will be affected by this. There are smarter people in this world than you and I, whom should be able to devise a compromising and comprehensive plan where wages, health plans, pensions, etc., can be altered and brought more in line with comparable industries."
"The term 'bailout' is a misnomer for low-cost, short-term loans. That loans would be offered implies an expectation of repayment. The money needed to pay suppliers and workers wages is tied up in unsold inventory. Fuel prices at the pump, a major reason for the unsold inventory, have dropped to level at or below where they were before the big run-up to $4.25 - $5.00 a gallon. Seems the solution would be to find creative ways to sell that inventory into a somewhat improved market while cutting cost of operations, then use the money to pay their bills. To sell that inventory, the auto companies may need to do what the rest of us do. Sell inventory at garage sale prices to get whatever money they can to pay the bills. Then ask for help on whatever they can't cover."
"...[O]ur body of government has already voted the proposal down. The fact that our President wants to go above and beyond our body of government and tell them they don't know what they are talking about and give the automakers a loan from the finance bailout is a slap in the face to democracy. Our body voted no for several reasons and the President should adhere to that thinking and allow democracy and government decision to be preserved."
"The auto companies ... should go through bankruptcy so that they can significantly reduce union labor costs and legacy costs. The management has caved in to the unions for decades and a lot of the problem is their fault. They have also built products of questionable quality. The public has already voted with its dollars on this issue."
"The Big 3 must make the better mouse trap. Otherwise, they should rightfully decline as all businesses do if they do not deliver the products the public wants."
"I voted no, but not because I think it shouldn't be done because I do. However, it must be done only with major concessions from the UAW. If the Big 3 automakers are to return to profitability, then costs need to be cut. Sure, some of the 'bosses' probably do make a princely wage, but they are few in comparison the the numbers of Union member workers who make, on average, more money than graduate engineers."
And last but not least.....

Early in June it was reported that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), a civilian-run government agency, experienced a data breach of its computer systems, giving suspected Chinese state-sponsored hackers access to up to four million records of former and current federal employees. The hack was so extensive that the retrieved information stemmed as far back as 1985. However, new reports show that the attack could be more than four times more devastating than initially estimated, and the number of people impacted could increase. In fact, the tally of those affected is now being revealed as the OPM sends out notices to people who are potentially impacted. Even more unnerving is that a 2014 audit uncovered security inadequacies within the OPM system, yet they were not reported until several months after detection.
Unlike previous major cyber attacks we have seen over the last year, the exposed data was not just limited to PII (Personally Identifiable Information) such as Social Security numbers, birthdates, and bank information. During this breach hackers accessed highly confidential employee background checks, containing information on their friends, family and past employment. Even private details such as mental illness treatments, lie detector test results, bankruptcy filings, and run-ins with the law were retrieved. At this point, according to Yo Delmar, vice president, GRC Solutions, MetricStream, we are unaware of the full impact of this breach; but if history is any indicator, it's highly likely that those responsible for the hack may already be using the stolen information in malicious, and highly illegal, ways.
Following the massive breach, what we must now focus on is what can be done at the federal level to prevent such devastating reoccurrences. According to Delmar, there are several steps that need to be taken in order to address today's security gaps in government. These include: fully understanding the details of the NIST's Cyber Security Framework (CSF) and actively putting practices into action; developing and implementing a remediation plan to ensure security standards are being met; closing the gap in response time and maintaining transparency throughout with key stakeholders; recognizing the auditor's evolved role in cybersecurity; and understanding where federal security investments should be headed.

The winners of the Iowa caucuses had been declared, I had filed a small story on the caucus for the morning paper, and as I rounded the final corner on my walk home, a lonesome darkness seemed to settle over the streets of Des Moines.
Every fourth year Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses draw the white-hot spotlight of national and international media. For a young reporter like me it was easy to get drunk on the feeling of being at the center of the world's attention.
The days afterward would still be enjoyable, yes, but in the way a reveler enjoys a New Year's Day hangover.
It was only this past spring that I was a direction-less freelance writer living in Forest Grove, where my wife was in her final year of optometry school at Pacific University and where I was offered part-time work writing for the News-Times.
After she graduated we wanted to move nearer our families in the Midwest, but we were as surprised as anyone when we landed in Iowa during caucus season that I was hired by The Des Moines Register.
'Every four years it's the coolest paper to work for in the country,' one of my newsroom neighbors told me soon after I started.
Iowans are the first in the nation to declare their picks for the Democratic and Republican nominees. Candidates spend weeks, months and sometimes the better part of a year traversing the state shaking hands.
A commotion came from behind my desk one recent afternoon as an entourage of campaign staff marched down a hall through the newsroom with Sen. Barack Obama who, like the many candidates before him, stopped in to ask the members of the editorial board for their coveted endorsement. The Secret Service agents assigned to protect him were close enough to have easily been hit with a spitball.
'How you doing?' Obama asked, seeming to look at me, then adding to no one in particular, 'Hey, everybody,' and waving.
Under different circumstances I might have asked him to sign a copy of his latest book, but reporters in newsrooms like the Register's must mask their political persuasions.
I wrote all of two stories related to the caucuses, one of which I would have been wise to turn down if I weren't such a sucker for briefly playing the part of a national political reporter.
Democratic Sen. Joe Biden and former Sen. John Edwards were giving speeches at a birthday party and fund-raiser for an Iowa congressman the weekend before the caucuses. The event was three hours away in Cedar Rapids on a night forecast to have freezing rain and snow. I was told to keep my story short.
Still, I relished every minute, from my brief interviews with Biden and Edwards in which I asked utterly obvious questions - 'Do you want the congressman's endorsement?' - to finding the small article buried deep within the paper the next day.
Caucus night finally arrived and for my second and final caucus story I went to one of the Republican precincts in downtown Des Moines, where I was following a couple from Sudan who had recently become U.S. citizens.
Neither Barnaba Danga, 45, nor his wife, Esther Gonyo, had ever cast a vote in their lives. Though their limited English skills presented some challenges, they were thrilled just to be taking part in a democracy.
They were given bright orange slips of paper and asked to write the name of their favorite candidate. The husband wrote his own name, and then, when this was pointed out, added simply, 'John.' The wife left hers blank.
His was counted as a vote for Sen. McCain, the only John running as a Republican. Hers was officially recorded as 'undecided.'
Back at the newsroom that night the energy of the months of campaign coverage reached a crescendo.
For the candidates there were speeches to make and then flights to catch to New Hampshire. For the local reporters who had been following the candidates around the state there were finally results to report and sleep to catch up on.
But for a young reporter like me, who saw only a small piece of the action, climbing in bed that night felt like leaving a party before I was ready for it to be over.
Gunnar Olson covered business for the News-Times for much of 2007. He's now a reporter for The Des Moines Register.

Ramada Encore Belfast City Centre
20 Talbot Street, Belfast, BT1 2LD
0.5 km from
฿ 3,045+
First impression was that hotel was lovely- welcoming. Food was tasty. Throw on bottom of bed was extremely dirty and waited 4 hours to get it changed. Lumpy pillows felt like sleeping on the floor. No hadwash in dispenser in bathroom. Steak too bloody , wasnt asked how I wanted it cooked. Young kids on rugby tour running around corirdors shouting and banging doors- no apology when I complained!!! Felt more tired leaving hotel when the Belfast trip was a birthday surprise for my husband.
Location Strictly functional room was noisy and very warm. Bed very uncomfortable.
great location just at the back of St Ann's Cathedral. Lots of beautiful restaurants in the area. Only a 10 minute walk into Victoria Square. Room was immaculately clean and the bathroom was very well designed. Free parking was a real bonus! Will definitely be back!
Near to city centre with all its attractions-Helpful and friendly staff-Excellent value.
Its location - very convenient to the local shops, restaurants and bars.
Staff were so helpful and efficent Tea/coffee facility in room
The location of the hotel 11am check out. Please that extra hour means so much especially driving back to Fermanagh
Food very good and free secure car parking is excellent touch. This is our second stay in 7 weeks and will not be our last. My daughter and partner has also stayed here recently They range of draught beers is limited no Smithwicks or McArdles ale
Parking, food, cleanliness, staff Poor views - one of the rooms looked on to huge pipes and was noisy - also that room was cold and should have been heated as it was an accessibility room.
Nice decor comfortable room friendly staff Additional cost for wi fi etc,
brand new hotel, clean and fresh.
Clean cut basic hotel, perfect location fabulous staff and beautiful food would definitely recommend this hotel as it has two car park options and is within walking distance to Odassey/ Titanic quarters and the city centre
The staff were fantastic especially John at the desk who dealt with our bags and got us a taxi, wonderful people you have working at the belfast hilton, hope to be back again soon
Staff and food Room could have been cleaner
The Staff were helpful but obviously frustrated breakfast was chaos and it took 30 mins to organise paying for parking in an alternative garage
Convenience of location Paying heavily to park
Close to the City Centre ,Lovely views and relaxed setting in bar The only thing I disliked was the price of parking, Very Excessive
The beds are so comfortable. Bar is lovely. Room was a bit cold, fault with air conditioning.
Excellent value. Great breakfast. Nice views over Belfast. Hotel now 10 years old. Maintenance not given priority - damaged bathroom door, difficult bath/shower tap. Room 309.
Proximity to city centre and odysey arena where we were attending an event.
freindly staff
The management and staff were outstanding and very helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, especially those who enjoy a little bit of luxury. No tea/coffee facilities in the room.
The Merchant is a stunningly gorgeous hotel, the beauty of the building is only outshone by the excellence of the staff. Nothing.
Everything, customer service brilliant, highly recommended. Nothing.
staff were excellent without being over the top. Very friendly abd accomodating. The decor is amazing and food excellent nothing I could not fault it
The Merchant is a very luxurious hotel and even though it is in the heart of the City, we were not disturbed by traffic noise in the morning. The staff were very helpful and courteous. We had a lovely experience and would definately return.
Everything about the Merchant was excellent, but the quality of the room really stood out. We stayed in room 528 (a Deco deluxe room) and the view across to Victoria Square and the City Hall was worth the room rate on its own.
Amazing Room and service would highly recommend The selection of food in the great room
Lovely breakfast experience with lovely dining room, great location, staff all very nice Rooms whilst really lovely were very darkly lit and a bit small given the price.
hotel had a luxurious yet cosy feel to it would have liked coffee making facilities in room .
Super attentive staff, exquisite decor, yummy breakfast. My favourite shoes on sale in the hotel- bonus! (Christian louboutins) Rooms were stuffy despite air con (windows could not be opened)
An excellent, really funky hotel; I'd definitely stay there again. There wasn't a bath!
It was in the perfect location
Great location, nice clean hotel friendly staff. The only point that could be improved upon was drections -staff could improve on this point. Otherwise very nice friendly people. See above
Decore and the staff
Friendly and helpful.
Everything at Malmaison Belfast was outstanding! The staff was great and helpful for anything you needed and could arrange things like black taxi tours, room service, and recommend various restaurants and things to see. The rooms are gorgeous and very spacious. Shower pressure is great! The location is also ideal, being right across the street from Victoria Place shopping Center and other sights to see. Overall great experience and would absolutely recommend everything!
Great location. The bed was excessively hard.
We liked the decor, comfort and the attitude of the staff
Location, friendliness of staff and general high standards of hotel No parking, although large car park across from hotel - quite expensive daily rate though, perhaps hotel could try and negotiate a special rate for guests
Friendly, efficient staff. Convenient location. Comfortable rooms. Nicely designed and furnished rooms. 'Quirky' details. Would like brighter reading lamps in bedrooms.
Centrally situated and ideal for Shopping and night life. It is a short walk to the Oddyssey and the museum. No Complaints of any description
The best thing is the location The heating system was not up to the expectation. I had to wait for a long time before the room is warm enough, and even then, I did not feel that the room was warm enough. The room was not as spacious as the photos in the website.
Within walking distance of shops in city centre. Staff helpful and efficient.Room clean & comfortable.Good choice for breakfast. Directions given for overnight car parking.
Staff were extremely helpful. B'fast with children free was very reasonable. None
Large comfortable room and perfect city center location Would have preferred on site secure parking even at extra cost.
Friendliness and helpfullness of the staff, meals within the hotel Room we were in must have been near a karaoke bar as there was some noise from that during the night
The breakfast was the best with a really huge selection of food to choose from. Couldn't fault the room what so ever and was very clean. I had to leave!
very friendly staff made very wecome highly recommanded,only down fall is there is no customer carparking facilities which would highly recommand the hotel to put in place,fanatastic location,clean and great food and service,
The staff at this hotel were excellent! The receptionist was friendly and efficient as was the girl running the breakfast service in the morning.
Great location. Lovely rooms, bar and staff and service superb! Look no further for your stay in Belfast - book here! Absolutely none

I wanted to make another one, but could I find the original pattern? I looked through books and couldn't find it anywhere. It was very annoying. So I decided to just try and make up how I made the first one. And I thought I might as well do a little tutorial for you while I was at it.
What you need:
- Two tea towels - preferably different colours/patterns so it looks prettier.
- Thread to match your towels.
- Twill in a nice complementing colour (long enough to go around your neck and then around your waist).
- Pins and scissors and a sewing machine.
First take the tea towel which is going to cover your torso. Pin it so it measures around 20 inches in length by 15 inches in width.
The pens in the photo are to show you which sides to sew along. Sew along these three edges.
Next lay the two towel on top of each other. The new, non-sewed towel goes underneath the one you just sewed to make a sort upside-down of T shape. This will be the one that wraps around your waist.
Lay the body towel so it's evenly spread on the waist towel. Overlap the towel so that half of it is overlapping and half of it was above (and therefore will be seen when the apron is worn). Then make sure there is a an even gap on either side of the body towel. Again, the pens are laid out to show you where to sew.
So once it's sewn it should look like this (the right way round). The part where the towels overlap will now be a pocket.
Last stage is to sew the twill on as shown in the photo.
Attach a length to the two top corners of the body towel. This will be the neck tie. Then attach two separate lengths to the two top corners of the waist towel. These will tie around your waist. Sew these on with the machine, but make sure you can fit it around your neck and tie it around your back before you sew them in place.
And you're done! I use mine for crafting, but obviously you could use it in the kitchen too. The pocket is great for stashing things in when you're crafting so you don't lose them.
Happy crafting.

Skip forward 13 years and now it's my face that needs a little nip and tuck. Of course I went to see Dr. Casper for a consultation. I met with other doctors as well, just to make sure. Interviewing other doctors was a not necessary because Dr. Casper is clearly the most qualified and I already know the quality of his work. I just wanted to make sure I did my homework. After much consideration my husband and I decided it was a good time to get a facelift done. Dr. Casper was very attentive, answered all my questions, and there were many. This is my FACE after-all. I even sent Dr. Casper some videos of some facelifts I saw on youtube with questions, he called me back the same day and put my mind at ease. I was afraid he might have been insulted when I sent him a youtube video of a botched necklift, but I wanted to make sure nothing like that could happen to me. After sending the videos to him I came up with a list of 30 questions! Yep, 30, not a typo. I made an appointment and went in with my list and asked away. He answered all of my questions, did not rush me, and was very professional, friendly, and really took his time to explain my fears. He spent a lot of time telling me how he does surgeries, where the scars will be, what to expect while I heal, etc. So I scheduled the surgery.
Dr. Casper explained that the 3 procedures he recommended were a facelift a neck-lift and upper eye lids. That's what I got!
I had surgery about 5 days ago and I'm so excited. I have very little bruising and swelling, the incisions are amazing, well hidden and very discrete. I have had very little discomfort, Tylenol is what I take for any discomfort, even though he did prescribe a pain killer. Of course I also take the antibiotics he prescribed. He and his staff have treated me and husband like family, they are all very nice, attentive and caring. I have seen Dr. Casper twice since my surgery and will see him a few more times in the next couple of weeks to get the stitches out etc. The results are already amazing, I am so happy I did this, and I am very thankful to Dr. Casper and his staff, I could not have asked for a better experience or results. I highly recommend Dr. Casper!!

Improved seeds distributed to Zabul farmers
Improved seeds distributed to Zabul farmers
QALAT (PAN): Improved wheat seeds and chemical fertilisers were distributed to farmers in the southern province of Zabul, officials said on Tuesday.
Fifty-three tonnes of improved wheat seed varieties and as much chemical fertiliser were distributed to 1070 farmers of Seori, Shahr-i-Safa, Mizani and Shah Joy districts and Qalat.
Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock Director Bismillah Harifal told Pajhwok Afghan News each of the deserving growers, identified by a delegation, was given 50 kilograms of wheat seeds and as much fertilisers.
The assistance was provided by the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) to wean farmers away from cultivating poppies to other crops, the director added.
Such assistance was useful for preventing poppy cultivation in the province, said a farmer of Shah-i-Safa district, Noorullah.
In the past, they would grow the illicit poppy crop due to its draught resistance, but climate conditions were more suitable to improved wheat seed varieties, he said, asking the government to pay attention to the basic needs of growers.
He suggested the construction of dams, cold storages and markets for products of farmers as an alternative to poppy cultivation.

Super-G Superstition? Jan Hudec buries lucky loonie at finish line
The Canadian Press
Published Sunday, February 16, 2014 3:27PM EST
SOCHI, Russia -- It was more tradition than superstition that prompted Jan Hudec to bury a loonie near the finish line of the men's super-G race at the Sochi Olympics.
He's not sure the ritual borrowed from Canada's hockey teams had any bearing on his race, but he can't argue with the result. The Calgary skier became the first Canadian in 20 years to win an alpine Olympic medal when he took bronze Sunday.
"I'm not superstitious by any means," he said. "Us being Canadian, we stole something from the hockey guys. When was that? Salt Lake?"
It was indeed the 2002 Salt Lake Games when Canadian ice makers secretly buried a loonie at centre ice. Both the men's and women's teams went on to win gold that year.
Alpine ski officials adopted the custom a few years back.
"It started with the hockey guys and I think about eight years ago or even longer, some of the officials at Lake Louise at the World Cup there did it at the finish line in Lake Louise," Hudec said.
"I thought I'd try it out. It must have been the loonie. But if it wasn't, at least it's a nice keepsake."
Hudec received the coin, which he said came from a Calgary convenience store, from Kerrin Lee-Gartner, who won the downhill gold medal at the 1992 Albertville Olympics. He decided to bury the coin during a pre-race warmup.
"Literally we had time for two runs," he said. "On the second run, I stopped at the finish line and as sneakily as possible, in Russia, I went up there and dug a hole at the finish line, hoping not to get dragged off by security guards. Just buried it four inches under the snow."
The loonie was recovered after the race, but not without some difficulty.
"Right after the race, I completely forgot that I put the loonie up there and someone else mentioned it to me," Hudec said. "We were almost leaving the venue, so Paul Kristofic, our old head coach ... offered to go up there and look for it.
"I must have given him bad directions because he was up there for 45 minutes digging for this thing and finally found it."

Laboratory Procedures and Tests Q&A by Dr. Stöppler
I recently had some lab work done (cholesterol profile), can I request a copy of my test results?
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel, Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Patients are always allowed access to their medical information, including laboratory test results. But, laws differ among U.S. states about the release of such information. In some states, you may request a copy of your lab test results directly from the laboratory, while in other states, the laboratory is only allowed to release the results to the health care provider who ordered the tests.
In all cases, your doctor should be able to give you a copy of the test results. Talk to the office of the health care provider who ordered the lab tests and explain that you would like to receive a copy of the results.
Thank you for your question.

There have been a rash of press releases recently from companies listed in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Email Security Boundaries. The twenty vendors mentioned are categorized as either leaders, challengers, visionaries or niche players. Of course, out of twenty, there are bound to be at least a few forward-thinking companies there, but I think Google landed in the "Leaders†quadrant just by virtue of their incredible size more than actual leading technology. Of course, they acquired Postini, which was a good move on their part, but Google is still not a security company. They're a company that purchased a security company, and that makes a big difference. While Postini's technology may be quite adequate, it's besides the point; in its capacity as a security vendor, Google is no specialist–they're another major player who is now able to say, "oh yeah, we also have this.†In the area of security, there is still a lot to be said for having a company that does security as a primary focus, simply because it will always remain top priority in terms of R&D.

Zoo celebrates the birth of new conservation ambassadors:triplet snow leopards
Gigi Allianic, Rebecca Whitham206.548.2550 | email@example.com
Triplet snow leopards were born at Woodland Park Zoo on May 2. The cubs, two females and a male, received their first neonatal exam today

SEATTLE ‒ A display of beautiful spots appeared on May 2 at Woodland Park Zoo when triplet snow leopards were born to 7-year-old mother Helen. The cubs represent the second litter for Helen and 6-year-old father Tom.
As part of the exemplary animal care and health program for the thousand-plus animals at the zoo, veterinarians performed a neonatal examination today on the cubs, which were confirmed as two females and a male.
The mom and cubs are off public exhibit in a maternal den to allow bonding and proper nursing. The zoo anticipates putting the cubs on public exhibit in mid-July.
"Helen was an excellent mother to the pair of cubs she gave birth to in 2009 and successfully raised. We're very pleased to see that she's nurturing the three cubs very well and that they appear to be progressing normally. They appear to be healthy, their eyes are just now opening and their bellies were full of milk, indicating that they are nursing," said zoo Director of Animal Health Dr. Darin Collins. The cubs currently weigh between 2.1 and 2.4 pounds.
Snow leopards are an endangered species. Cubs are born helpless, with their eyes closed, and rely for several weeks on their mothers for nutrition. To minimize disturbance, staff have minimal physical contact with the new family and are monitoring mother and cubs via a web cam. Since snow leopards are solitary animals in the wild, the father has been separated and is on public exhibit in the snow leopard exhibit adjacent to Australasia.
The snow leopard is a moderately large cat native to the high mountain ranges of Central Asia and Russia, including in Afghanistan, China, India, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Nepal and Pakistan. Snow leopard scientists estimate as few as 3,500 remain in the wild.
Woodland Park Zoo has a long history of caring for snow leopards and conserving them in the wild, since the zoo's first snow leopards arrived in 1972 from the USSR. Under the Snow Leopard Species Survival Plan (SSP), 34 cubs have born at the zoo and have helped diversify the genetic pool of the managed population. "This is a significant birth for snow leopards in zoos in North America and around the world, and marks the first recorded birth this year for the SSP. By virtue of their majestic beauty, they are conservation ambassadors for their species in the wild. These cubs in the future will become valuable in inspiring people to learn more about how to save this endangered cat that is struggling to survive in its range countries," said Dr. Jennifer Pramuk, a curator at Woodland Park Zoo.
As part of Woodland Park Zoo's partnership with 36 field conservation projects around the world, the zoo partners with the Snow Leopard Trust. The Trust was created in 1981 by the late Woodland Park Zoo staff member Helen Freeman, the namesake of the mother of the newborn cubs. Through innovative programs, effective partnerships, and the latest science, the SLT is saving these endangered cats and improving the lives of people who live in the snow leopard countries of Central Asia. Visit http://www.snowleopard.org/ for information about the SLT.
Photos of the neonatal exam can be found on the zoo's blog at: http://woodlandparkzblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/baby-baby-baby.html. As more footage and images are made available, snow leopard fans can keep tabs on the cubs by checking out the zoo's blog and YouTube.
Woodland Park Zoo participates in 72 Species Survival Plans sponsored by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA), including the SSP for snow leopards. Led by experts in husbandry, nutrition, veterinary care, behavior, conservation and genetics, AZA-accredited institutions manage each species as one population in North America to maximize genetic diversity, with the goal of ensuring the long-term survival of the population and the health of individual animals. SSPs also involve a variety of other collaborative conservation activities such as research, public education, reintroduction and field projects.
Woodland Park Zoo's summer hours through September 30: 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. Zoo admission through September 30: Adult (13-64) id="mce_marker"7.75; Child (3-12) id="mce_marker"1.50 Free for children 2 and under year round.

This is one of my first attempts at making my own lures... Its something of a copy of an Original Rapala, but painted in my attempt at a simple smallmouth pattern. Its hand painted, cross my fingers for an airbrush for Christmas, and hand carved (or sanded) out of balsa. Hopefully this thing will tempt some of the pike and smallmouth in my backyard. Any comments or feedback are more then welcome, I'm completely new to this and would love any advice or anything really! Maybe some advice on how to take a good looking picture.

If you ever would like to go back into the enhanced view, all you need to do is clear your cookies and cache and then try going to the site again and it should prompt the enhanced version.
Thank you so much

This causes it to often crash, or need to reload multiple times in new tabs until it gets right.
However later on I discovered an option within the UI of interface to exit mobile view. That worked fine, and now loads straight into normal webpage.
The normal webpage although not completely ergonomically efficient, or scaled for optimal use (especially on replies, and clicking unsubscripe thread accidently, etc., works perfectly fine. No crashes, no problems.) It is consistent and very usable on smartphone. Use safari.
I am not exactly sure how to get back to enhanced mobile view.. It has a pop up to go back sometimes. But after saying no a couple of times, it no longer comes back.
To be honest I dont like that pop-up, because I want to use desktop view.
However if there is an update, not quite sure how to get back to it, to give it another try.
Again the mobile view UI is better for smartphone. It is just too unstable for me to use right now.
I dont know if they overshot with it. Its almost too good from a UI perspective. If you look at Evernote forum's mobile view, its not as loaded with features. Its simpler. But it does not crash.

Samsung S3 my old phone got capped on JellyBean. Cant remember exact version. It is an old phone, add touchwiz, and lack of support/updates, and it is understandable why their would be problems. So was never too phased on that phone not working as intended.
Iphone 6 + is IOS 8.2.
This phone which I got recently, should however play a bit nicer. Since its the latest on market. But there were plenty of problems to.
Again the concept UI makes sense and is nice. But it just does not perform as it should.
I could live with just an easier to load, scalable version of the deesktop webpage, since it actually seems to work pretty well on the phone.
Maybe just less graphics and so on, and more scaled reply box, etc.
Having the coolest UI is ok, but I would not mind something less, if it can actually work consistently.
Just needs to be better than desktop on a phone, and able to find the threads I am following/commenting on.
Thank you for the feedback!

Ok used the interface for a while now...
Came to the conclusion it is unusable.
Reverted back to normal website on smart phone.
Too slow too many glitches, lost posts, constant crashing.
Used on s3 android. And iphone 6 plus.
Experience terrible on Samsung on stock browser and chrome.
Experience terrible on safari and chrome on iPhone 6 too.
Sometimes page gets unusable (occurs multiple times in a single use)
Have to close down entire page... Reloading often does not fix a problem.
It's nice to have a smartphone interface.
But it's just not working with current design.
Simply too many bugs and glitches.
Probably needs a ground up rethink and rework..
There are just way too many problems to even list.
Thought it sucked from an intuitive point of view when I first started using it.. Always reverted to desktop browser version.
When I got how it worked.. It is actually superior intuitively.
However not pleasant.. It is not very stable. It constantly crashes. Much better on Safari than Chrome.. Chrome kept crashing.
And it is slow.
The Intuitiveness is not 'obvious'... However it is smart, when you figure out how it works.
Unfortunately it feels too heavy and like too much is going on. Not lightweight enough. If it is giving a brand new iphone problems, you could only imagine what it was doing to my previous old android.
Hello everyone,
We're excited to announce that additional features has been added and improvements were made to the enhanced mobile view.
Thanks to the feedback that everyone has provided, we were able to tailor the mobile view to better fit forum members' needs and fix a few bugs along the way.
A few of the new features that were added includes:
• Completely replacing the PM system with one that better matches what members see in the desktop version.
• A pull-to-refresh functionality has been added on all appropriate pages in addition to the refresh already available in the overflow menu.
• A new scrolling feature has been added so that if the user starts scrolling the screen prior to an auto-scroll happening (like moving to a post per the current read position), the auto-scroll is cancelled so the user is not fighting with it.
• There is now a font size preview in the Font Size settings page so the members would know what to expect.
• Sticky topics can now be hidden from within the page where they are being viewed
• The vote count on poll results has been animated to count up along with the bar graph animations that were already present.
Now on to some of the fixes we that have implemented:
• After sharing a photo from the media viewer, the user will not be returned to the media viewer instead of the topic.
• PMs will now be correctly marked as viewed and word-wrapped.
• The forum will now work with iOS Safari if the user had opted to block all cookies.
• Double-tapping buttons or links will no longer cause functionality to execute twice.
• The text in the header is now re-sizing correctly when members are scrolling through the page or opening the side menu.
Please give this newly improved version of the mobile view a try and feel free to let us know what you think in the feedback thread.
**Please let us know the device, software version, and browser being used if reporting any issues.
Thank you.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your feedback on the new smartphone view. As we said before, we're going to work on improving it as much as we can so that your experience with it will be better than what it was before. The feedback you're providing will go a long way to help us get there.

I tried to touch the bars initially and got nothing to open, they looked almost off the page a bit compared to the one on the right. I tried again later multiple times and it finally opened the window.

War is Deception…The Callous Inhumanity of Operation Enduring Freedom
The statesman who yields to war fever is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events…Sir Winston Churchill
War demands , precipitates and proliferates deception: Witness, for example, the euphemistic catch phrases in vogue emanating from the Pentagon's pantheon of propaganda, created to define and assuage America's global machinations as bestowing or restoring freedom and or democracy, and to sell the noble, justified (jus ad bellum) war to the unsuspecting.
In the Afghanistan of today, America's stated mission is to eradicate residual remnants of al-Qaeda:
This mission, as with others from American history, has been defined by government spokespersons in lofty, noble terms, i.e., 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' was the fanciful name given to a devastating military assault on Iraq carried out in early 2003 by a US-led 'coalition of the willing.' The attack was 'illegal' and constituted 'war of aggression' according to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (The Guardian, 9/16/04), while casualty estimates claim more than one-million lives were lost. In 1983, the US invasion of the tiny island nation of Grenada and subsequent invasion of Panama was defined by Washington as 'Operation Just Cause' which resulted in the deaths of thousands, a majority being non-combatants or civilians.
The first major step in the endless war against global terrorism began in October of 2001. Afghanistan ravaged by decades of fighting, its economy in ruins, and its people weakened by crushing poverty, was to be America's first target in the global war on terror. On October 7, 2001, American and British warplanes unleashed a Blitzkrieg, a devastating aerial assault on Afghanistan. Initially, bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles were used, followed by cluster bombs and massive explosives euphemistically termed 'Daisy Cutters.' By early November, the Americans were carpet bombing large swaths of Afghanistan. On 11 November, the ground assault began. Estimates of civilian deaths range from 5,000-11,000 during the initial phase of the bombing. Within 3-weeks after the bombing had begun, US planes flying at 30,000 feet altitude, dropped one-million packets of food marked with an American flag. Thomas Gonnet, representing 'Action against Hunger in Afghanistan' called the air drops an 'act of marketing.' The packets, he said, were 'bright yellow…identical to the color of the lethal and dangerous unexploded-devices (mines) scattered across the landscape', deadly, residual detritus and camouflaged death waiting for the unfortunate victim to make contact, this hidden death is from the initial US cluster-bomb attack. The result of which was, with what took the identical form of unexploded and unchartered mines, massive injury and death as innocent and hungry Afghan children eagerly collected the deadly yellow packets in their daily struggle for survival. Human Rights Watch (HRW) says that 'the Afghans know that it wasn't humanitarian concern that prompted Operation Enduring Freedom.' Journalist Norman Solomon wrote in Media Beat, 10/29/2002, 'the replacement euphemism termed Operation Enduring Freedom was well received in the US mass-media and which served to assuage guilt-laden appendages, an irony-free zone as enduring as the Pentagon's willingness and freedom to bomb anywhere and at any time'. Wars demand deception. However, I am not here referring to the technical complexities of military strategy in which deception has always played a fundamental role.
The US, under Presidents' Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, has waged war on Iraq and Afghanistan in a merciless mix of bombings, invasions and deadly sanctions. Why? In order to gain a dominant and exclusive access to Iraq's oil, favorable positioning in consideration of the Trans-Afghan-Pipeline (TAP) and, to establish a dominant, permanent and strategic military presence in the Middle East and South Asia and thereby gain access to the threshold of Central Asian and Caspian energy riches and other assorted mineral treasures. Such blatant, destructive, and lethal imperialism could only have been carried out with an orchestrated, elaborate, and relentless campaign of deception on the part of the US government. Beginning with Operation Desert Storm, the fanciful pseudonym for the first Gulf War against Iraq in 1991, with a resultant tidal wave of deceptive rhetoric poured from the White House, aimed at silencing protest and diluting reason.
Well before the US-led attack on Afghanistan in 2001, major news outlets vied for attention in breathless anticipation of what was to be a self-fulfilling prophecy referred to as Operation Enduring Freedom. During the war, the TV news in particular was and is a daily drama extolling the technical and moral superiority of the US-led ISAF for-war coalition. The reports came complete with stirring music and 'talking heads,' mostly retired military officers using maps, pointers, and advanced graphics, they blithely moved assets, columns, and ordnance about the country pausing now and then to mention how 'we were cleaning up pockets of resistance' while completely ignoring the suffering imposed on the civilian population struggling daily just to exist.
Deception Inc., selling war by brand name called for guidelines: The Department of Defense, warning that improperly selected names can be counterproductive, stipulates that names must not express a degree of bellicosity inconsistent with traditional American ideals or current foreign policy. Thus, such tranquil, noble and lofty slogans were coined to mask what can only be termed unmitigated and illegal war of aggression and as codified under international law and treaty. Who among the Afghan people, for example, could describe the abomination cast as Operation Enduring Freedom as anything but Operation Enduring Misery?
Today, in Afghanistan, hunger and hypothermia among children have risen to pandemic levels. The dislocated are scattered about in refugee camps devoid of food and medical attention though visible and proximate to well-provisioned US military bases. The economy has collapsed, foreign relief is but an empty dream, many of the rural villages have been reduced to rubble by incessant bombing, soldiers break into rural homes in the nighttime and terrorize the inhabitants, the use of proscribed weapons (DU) endanger the new-born while poisoning the environment, the former Soviet collaborators (Northern Alliance)are the favored or chosen ones considered by the US-led contingent to succeed the Government of Hamid Karzai and the principal recipient of American largesse. Detainees, accused by Northern Alliance as (Pashtun) terrorists have disappeared and or have been shipped to foreign destinations where they endure torture and often-times death, foreign technocrats are devising plans to partition the country as did British India during the 19th Century and the Soviet Union under Operations' Kaskad and Chameleon. Civilian deaths have risen exponentially with the indiscriminate use of 447 unpiloted drone-strikes and endless bombing. The use of CIA and military drones by the Obama Administration has, for example, resulted in the deaths of 2500 or more people, a majority of whom were non-combatants or civilians** In addition, the US has said it intends to use Afghan soil for bases from which their MQ-9 Reaper Drones will attack Pakistan. That this is in serial or grave violation of international law requires no further elaboration.
The sacred text of the Holy Quran has been desecrated, troops have been seen urinating on the corpses of those martyred, the countryside is swarming with foreign troops who have little or no knowledge, respect or interest in Afghan history, culture, tradition, and or hopes for the future of their country and as well have demonstrated that they could care less.
Meanwhile, as Washington refers to this atrocity, this abomination, this state-sponsored terror known as Operation Enduring Freedom, thereby hoping to anesthetize and mislead the world at large against what can only be termed as serial war crimes by continually casting themselves in the role of noble warriors in pursuit of terrorists that do not exist in Afghanistan, for the Afghans however, the only thing that endures is desolation, hunger, cold, endless loss of life, habitat destruction and a foreign presence and interference ignorant of and arrogant towards their cherished way of life.
Bruce G. Richardson
The heavy hand of Operation Enduring Freedom was noted on the 6th of December by the Swedish Committee for Afghanistan where the US-led NATO forces attacked a health clinic in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, storming the building, damaging the equipment, demolishing the exterior walls of the building and detaining those inside and turning it into a temporary prison and US military base in grave violation of the laws of war. The Swedish Committee said it complained to NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and they admitted to the brutal attack, forced entry and takeover of the facility, in clear and grave violation of international laws, yet maintained the attack was a tactical mistake. Erica Gaston, a human-rights lawyer told the Guardian "The protection of medical personal and facilities was one of the founding principles of international humanitarian law." Andrea Stefansson, the Swedish Committee's Director told the Guardian that "Most NGO's who deliver healthcare in Afghanistan experience these attacks against their facilities almost on a monthly basis."

Mini Dress with Great Impressions by
Mini dresses have been popular since the 1960's when Flower Power introduced these super short skirts and dresses onto the runway and subsequently, women began to wear them out onto the streets. The mini dress remains popular today, as they are sexy and fashionable without compromising on comfort. Mini dresses are also versatile because they can often be worn as long tops on days when you feel like covering up. Talking about covering up, the mini dress can also be a great cover up for the beach. Mini dresses are great to be worn with opaque tights and boots, exuding a sweet, feminine yet sexy appeal.
A form of dress that never goes out of season, the black mini women's dress has to exude classiness with a tinge of sexiness. Finding the perfect Little Black Dress or LBD is not easy. Some women take years before they find the correct fit ' one that is so perfect they would love to wear to every single event. Every female celebrity in town has been spotted at least once in a LBD ' from Jennifer Aniston to Paris Hilton to Anne Hathaway ' the list is simply exhaustive. A tip in picking a Little Black Dress: Find one that reveals just enough skin but not too much. Pick a cut that emphasizes on your best features. If that is your hips, pick one with details around the waist and hip area. If you are blessed with an hourglass figure, then go for one that wraps around your waist to emphasize on your curves. Small busted women should go for lower cuts such as square cuts or empire waist dresses. Check out the True Light Black Slinky Ruched Cocktail Mini Dress in black, which is a form-fitting dress with a slinky look and feel that will be sure to turn heads.
Since mini dresses started gaining popularity during the Flower Power era, what better way to pay tribute to this dress by dressing up in floral mini women's dresses? Floral prints on mini dresses are a convenient way to look feminine yet funky. Pick a color that suits your skin tone while making sure that you are having fun selecting the dress at the same time. Do not be afraid of details such as floral prints or diamante studs; they will only show that you have a great sense of style. Check out the BBJeans Lilac Floral Halter Cocktail Mini Dress which is made of polyester spandex and is machine washable. You can also check out the Trac Aqua Ruffled Floral Cocktail Mini Dress, which is a form-fitting sleeveless dress with a whimsical floral print. The dress looks like a two-piece dress with a bandage skirt.
Because a mini skirt or mini dress typically shows off a lot of skin, find a good cardigan for cover up when the weather gets chilly or when the air-conditioning gets to you. A cardigan sweater is made of different materials such as wool or cashmere ensuring warmth throughout the seasons. A simple black cardigan would be easy to match with any mini dress. Check out the Ultimate Cardigan in black from Gap, which is a versatile, perfectly structured cardigan, making the cardigan an essential "layering piece". It is also made of 75% cotton for comfort, 20% nylon, and 5% cashmere for warmth. Also, check out the Open-front cardigan with attached corsage in a delicate ribbed pointelle sweater stitch, trimmed with silky rayon from Newport. Made of linen/cotton blend, this cardigan is sure to attract enough attention to your outfit and will complement your outfit perfectly.

Study Suggests Soda Pop Causes Premature Ageing
For many techies, whiling away the hours on audio/video forums or in online gaming sessions, sugary sodas are the key to staying attentive. Anyone who's stared at a computer screen for more than eight hours a day knows that something extra -- be it coffee, tea, or pop -- is often needed to prevent one from passing out on their keyboard.
Unfortunately, now it seems techies, and just about everyone else, have been given one more reason to stay away from Coca-cola and the like. Aside from dousing the insides with sugar (causing weight gain, dental issues, and even diabetes), sodas are now being linked to major DNA disorders, including premature ageing. (Source: slashdot.org)
Americans are obsessed with wrinkles and sagging skin. Every year, thousands of U.S. citizens spend money trying to ward off the inevitable, spreading creams and contacting plastic surgeons.
However, according to an expert at England's Sheffield University, cutting out soda may be the best way to stave off ageing. Professor Peter Piper (yes, that's his real name) has found that the sodium benzoate in pop can damage a crucial part of a human's DNA, specifically the power generator of a cell known as the mitochondria.
If mitochondria in cells is tampered with -- as sodium benzoate appears to provide -- then a host of problems follows. According to Piper, "the cell starts to malfunction very seriously." Consequences for over-indulgence in soda pop, once only tied to obesity, cavities, and the onset of diabetes, could now affect the body's defense against "...Parkinson's and quite a lot of other neuron-degenerative diseases, but above all the whole process of ageing." (Source: independent.co.uk)
Piper believes the soda industry will deny the negative effects of compounds like sodium benzoate, but cites outdated testing by the US Food and Drug Administration.
For those wondering, yes, diet sodas (like Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max) also include sodium benzoate.

Dear Christoph, dear Andreas,
Could you please provide some reference(s) that use(s) or derive(s) the equations of the cohesion models used in LIGGGHTS (skrj and skrj2 equations; see below)?
Thanks so much!
A simple linear cohesion model can be activated by setting cohesion = 'sjkr' or 'sjkr2' (simplified Johnson-Kendall-Roberts model). If two particle are in contact, it adds an additional normal force tending to maintain the contact, which writes
F = k A,
where A is the particle contact area and k is the cohesion energy density in J/m3. For sjkr, the sphere-sphere contact area is calculated as (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Sphere-SphereIntersection.html)
A = Pi/4 * ((dist-Ri-Rj)*(dist+Ri-Rj)*(dist-Ri+Rj)*(dist+Ri+Rj) )/(dist*dist)
where dist is the distance between the particle centers. For sjkr2, the sphere-sphere contact area is calculated as
A = 2*Pi * delta_n * (2R*)
If you are using the linear cohesion model, you must also define the cohesion energy density:
fix id all property/global cohesionEnergyDensity peratomtypepair n_atomtypes value_11 value_12 .. value_21 value_22 .. .
(value_ij=value for the cohesion energy density (in Energy/Length3 units) between atom type i and j; n_atomtypes is the number of atom types you want to use in your simulation)

Talking prospects over at mlb.com
Want to talk prospects this afternoon? Yesterday, mlb.com and MLB Network announced their Top 50 prospects, with three Yankees making the cut. This afternoon at 2 ET, minor league guru Jonathan Mayo will chat about the list and about prospects in general.
For those of you only interested in the Yankees who made the cut, the Yankees were one of eight teams to have three different players in the top 50, and one of only four teams to place three players in the top 35. These are the Yankees who made the list.
No. 9: Jesus Montero
The Yankees top prospect landed in the top 10 on the strength of, "a bat that should be penciled into the middle of the big league lineup for years to come." Predictably, mlb.com mentioned Montero's defensive future as the only remaining question, but the site also noted that Montero has "more than enough bat" to be a designated hitter or first baseman.
No. 32: Gary Sanchez
Even in an organization with remarkable catching depth, mlb.com note that Sanchez, "just might end up being better than all of them." He's very young, which is why he's only in the middle of this list, but Sanchez has "plenty" of power and ability to hit for average — similar to Montero — and he has "better defensive tools" than Austin Romine. The question with him is development. He still has a long way to go.
No. 35: Manny Banuelos
It's been mentioned several times that Banuelos came back from appendectomy and showed better fitness and stuff. He gained velocity to show a mid-90s fastball, and mlb.com noted that he's shown "glimpses of above average or better" secondary pitches. If his development continues, Banuelos could have "front-of-a-rotation stuff," and he doesn't have far to go before he's ready for New York.
No. 53: Dellin Betances
In addition to the Top 50, mlb.com listed the 10 players who just missed the cut, including the top right-handed pitcher in the Yankees farm system. Betances was actually ranked ahead of Banuelos by Baseball America. With a list like this, the difference between No. 35 and No. 53 is pretty small.

Hi, I'm a moderator for this topic and I wonder whether you're still waiting for an answer. If you are, please let me know and I will do my best to find an Expert to assist you right away. If not, feel free to let me know and I will cancel this question for you. Thank you!
Hello, sorry for the delay in answering your question.
I am afraid that being over 65 is not an automatic right to free dental treatment on NHS.
However there are some exemptions based on low income.
Have a look at this site for information about English NHS: here
Applying for an HC2 certificate if you are on low income may be one option for you.

Minimally invasive lumbar spinal fusion facts
- The majority of patients with low back problems improves within six to 12 weeks regardless of treatment and do not need surgery.
- Minimally invasive lumbar spinal fusion attempts to achieve similar results to traditional techniques with less blood loss, less pain, less muscle damage and shorter hospital stay.
- Minimally invasive lumbar spinal fusion through the abdomen has not been as effective and has increased risk of nerve damage compared to traditional fusion techniques.
- Minimally invasive lumbar spinal fusion through the back has been shown in short term followup studies to be as effective as traditional techniques with less blood loss, less pain and shorter hospital stays, but additional studies of its long term effectiveness are needed.
Introduction to lumbar spinal fusion
The lumbar spine is the lower portion of the spine found at the center of the curve of the low back, below the rib cage. This area can be a common source of pain. Low back pain is the second most common reason for visits to the family physician, behind the common cold. As people become older, various changes occur in the lumbar spine that can cause pain. In most cases these changes are due to normal degenerative arthritis (wear of cartilage over time). The physician must also rule out other more serious conditions including tumor, infection, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), spondylolisthesis (slippage of one spinal bone on another), or fracture.
Fortunately, most patients with low back pain will have improvement in their symptoms regardless of treatment within six weeks. During that time the physician has various treatment options including medications, physical therapy, or injections that can help ease the symptoms. Some of those patients that do not improve after six to 12 weeks may be candidates for surgery. The spine surgeon has different types of surgical options available based on the specific cause of pain.
What is lumbar spinal fusion?
Lumbar spinal fusion is an operation that causes the vertebrae (bones of the spine) in the lower back to grow together. The goal of the lumbar fusion is to have the two vertebrae fuse (grow solidly together) so that there is no longer any motion between them. Removing the intervertebral disc (cushion between the bones) or bone spurs can reduce some of the pressure on the nerves, helping to reduce pain. Additionally, by fusing the two vertebrae together, this may stop the formation of bone spurs at that location, further reducing pain and potential nerve injury.
There are many different specific techniques to try to fuse the vertebrae together. The surgery can be performed either through an incision in the back, the abdomen, or a combination of both. In many cases metal screws and rods are placed from the back into the bones to hold them in position while the fusion occurs. During an interbody fusion, the surgeon removes the intervertebral disc and places either a bone graft or a metal or plastic cage, or a combination of these in its place. The decision on what type of fusion is best for each patient is based on their specific complaints and the cause of symptoms. Spinal fusion can be very effective in the properly selected patient.

In the original 'Jurassic Park' movie (which will be 20 years old this June), the young girl Lex Murphy (played by Ariana Richards) asks Dr. Alan Grant (played by Sam Neill) what happened to the dinosaurs. Dr. Grant replies with the thesis from his academic works (as quoted here):
Many scientists believe the dinosaurs never really died out 65 million years ago. These scientists believe dinosaurs live on today -- as birds. The dinosaurs were too large and their food supply is too small, so the dinosaurs became a likely example of natural selection -- in short, they were forced to adapt or perish.
The personal computer already experienced a large tectonic shift, evolving from velociraptor to sparrow in just a few years. Back in 2007, end user computing looked very different from today: It was a simpler world of form factors, operating systems, and ecosystems. Even so, in 2007 we predicted:
By 2012, the industry won't include just two form factors, laptops and desktops, but five or more form factors that are universally viewed as differentiated products.
We were correct, and computing "biodiversity" bloomed: smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, eReaders, phablets, or adding in form factors that peaked and fell quickly (like netbooks). In fact, we are living in an era of unprecedented experimentation – a flowering of myriad computing form factors attempting to carve out their own evolutionary pathways. The descendants of the velociraptor include a wide array of connected devices, each blazing its own trail.

I remember awhile ago, like when I first joined here, that a member put something like this together and it really worked out. Unfortunatly, I wasn't a part of that thread...so I am now making this
I think one of the hardest things about getting into shape, whether it be weight loss or building muscle, it has to be finding a good motivation.
For myself, I want to go into the National Guard..however, despite being another motivation for me, it's not my strongest motivation (For other reasons)
I have to say that my biggest motivation right now, is to do a particular costume, that of an anime character. I've never ever in my life wanted to do an anime themed costume (I have nothing against those that do!) But this one just stuck out with me and I have it dead set in my mind that I'm going to get in shape, work out and get as close as possible to this character's body form as much as possible
As of right now, at 6'6" tall and WAS 309lbs roughly 3 weeks ago, I am now at 281lbs+-
I want to see post from people that are in the process and those that have wanted to start, to hopefully motivate you guys to get to where you want to be, instead of just admiring it like I used to (and still do) and not doing anything, like I was, wasting my time before
Post your motivations!

Screen Daily
Here's some perspective for you. The last time we talked about the Wesley Snipes movie Gallowwalkers was way back in 2008. Now, over five years later, Screen Daily is reporting that the film is finally up for sale at next week's European Film Market.
Directed by Andrew Goth and starring Wesley Snipes, Diamond Dallas Page, Simona Brhlikova, and Jonathan Garcia, Gallowwalkers is the story of a man (Snipes) who is cursed to have to deal with the zombified corpses of all those he's ever killed. He enlists the help of a young warrior to help him put the dead back in the ground where they belong.
Courtney Lauren Penn and Brandon Burrows of bi-coastal Boundless Pictures produced, and UK-based Jack Bowyer served as executive producer.

Shenzhou 9's three-person crew, including China's first female astronaut
(Source: planetary.org)
The Shenzhou 9 made its way into space on a Chinese Long March 2F rocket on Saturday, June 16
China successfully completed its
first manned docking in space
today using the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft and the Tiangong 1 space module.
"We are one step closer to our destination of constructing a future space station," said an official with China's space program. "This is the first successful crew transportation mission for China."
The Shenzhou 9 made its way into space on a Chinese Long March 2F rocket on Saturday, June 16. It launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gansu province in northern China.
The Shenzhou 9 successfully docked at the Tiangong 1 space module in automatic mode today, marking the first manned docking for China. China is the third country (after the United States and Russia) to make such a quest.
But the docking isn't the only historic marker for China. The three-person crew aboard the Shenzhou 9 consisted of China's first female astronaut, Liu Yang. The other two astronauts were Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang.
"I feel honored to fly into space on behalf of hundreds of millions of Chinese females," said Liu.
The Shenzhou 9 will remain docked at the Tiangong 1 until later this week, and then re-dock for another test in manual mode. The spacecraft is expected to be in orbit for 13 days.
The Tiangong 1 was launched into space in September 2011, and the unmanned Shenzhou 8 spacecraft linked up to it in November. Today's manned docking represented a whole new first for the country.
China described its
five-year space plans
in a report released by the government last December. According to the blueprint, the country wants to construct space stations, ship freighters, space laboratories and a manned spaceship through the end of 2016.
China also said it plans to
use probes to explore the moon's surface as well as asteroids, planets and the sun, and it wants to
improve launch vehicles, meteorological
satellites, communications and broadcasting to form a global satellite navigation system.
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad
