The 30 Imperatives of Parenting #22 and #23May 09
#22 = Get Out There With Them – Be Where They Are
#23 = Get Out There With Them – Show Up at Parties
It is very important to get into your child's world and be able to observe what is going on around them. You also have the opportunity to observer who they are allowing to influence them, as well as how your children interact with others.
One of these areas is parties. Take the time to create a game plan for how your family will handle parties during the preteen/teen years. Check out our previous series on the topic by clicking here.
Listen to today's podcast for more insight on these topics.
The 30 Imperatives of Parenting #20 and #21May 09
#20 and #21- Read and Read Them The Word
One of the most important things you can do educationally for your children is take the time to read to them. You can start this process even when they are infants. Reading opens up worlds to children by allowing them to develop their imagination. A great time to do this is at naptime or bedtime. Even with older children giving them times to read for fun, not just what is assigned for school, is important.
Another thing that is important for the family is to take the time to do family devotions. This may sound like a daunting task but it can be as simple as reading a few Bible verses as a family and then praying together at the end of breakfast before everyone goes out the door. There are even devotionals that can be read which take a verse and explain it age appropriately. Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be a small sermon everyday just something simple. Taking time out to read your children the Word of God is very important for their spiritual development.
Listen to today's podcast for more on these important topics.
The 30 Imperatives of Parenting #19May 05
#19-Serving Others (We Are Here To Serve Mom)
One thing that Dad did a great job teaching us to do was serve our mom. Most of our house-hold chores were things that would help her out and serve her. He did a great job leading by example in this area. He was always of the mindset that mom made dinner so it was our job to serve her and clean up the kitchen. It was such a great lesson that taught us several things. First it taught us how to serve. Second it taught us that that role is to be respected and revered not taken advantage of. Thirdly it taught my brother how a woman was to be treated and taught me how I needed to be treated one day as a wife and mother.
Family is a great place to learn how to serve each other and a perfect person to begin serving is mom. As a mom sometimes we can be frustrated with this area. We can easily think that's great but that never happens in my family; or we can think I'm glad my kids are trying to serve but that just means more work for me later. First we have to be willing sometimes to ask for help when we need it. We also need to realize that sometimes the lesson of learning to help or serve someone else is more important than the fact that you may be able to do the job more quickly and efficiently.

The 30 Imperatives of Parenting #18May 04
#18- Listen
Listening is something that is imperative to parenting on several levels. It is important that we listen to our children, that we listen to our spouses in order to work as a parenting team, and that we train our children up in listening skills. The skill of listening is something that can make or break their future employment as well as their future marriage. It is another area that we have spent a whole week discussing, click here to check out "The How To's of Listening."
And as always listen to today's podcast for more insight on this topic.
The 30 Imperatives of Parenting #17May 03
# 17- Date Your Child
Something that you can do even when your children are small to help prepare them for future dating is taking them out on dates yourself. This one on one time can help to serve many purposes for their future.
Even at a young age you can begin to instill in them how to show respect to members of the opposite sex. For instance, if a father is taking out his young daughter, he can open doors for her ect. If a mother is taking out her son, she can teach him how to open doors for her and begin to train him how to be a gentleman.
As years go by, maintaining these special times can set the stage for awesome communication. Parents often wonder how they can communicate with their teens. Consistently having a weekly "date" is a perfect way to keep open doors of communication…especially if this has been established from a young age. See, your kids are never too young to begin this training.

Lupus Disease Severity Is Not a Risk for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia in SLE.
Dhar3, J. Patricia, Gregoire3, Lucie, Lancaster3, Wayne, Stark1, Azadeh, Schwartz3, Ann, Schultz2, Daniel, Essenmacher3, Lynnette
Geisinger Health Systems, Danville, PA

Women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at increased risk for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), possibly related to immunodysregulation. We hypothesized that women with SLE who developed CIN would be younger, have more severe disease and have received more immunosuppressive treatment.
In a case-control design, clinical characteristics of SLE women with CIN (cases) were compared to two groups of SLE women without CIN (controls). Diagnoses of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) were confirmed from formalin fixed blocks of cervical tissue from 113 women with SLE. Clinical data were obtained by chart review. Logistic regression was used to evaluate for any significant differences in clinical variables between the cases and the controls. Two sets of controls were used for comparison with a ~2:1 match for each control group to the cases group. For the first set, only the year of entry into our Lupus Clinic was controlled for ("unmatched" group, n=206); a second non-overlapping control group was matched for age, race, and year of entry into the clinic ("matched" group, n=212). The second matched control group was used to control for the three matching factors to allow smaller, but important effects of other factors, such as lupus severity, to emerge.
For the cases, these predominantly African American (75.2%) women with SLE had a mean age at cervical biopsy of 38.5 years, with low grade CIN (CIN I/II) the most prevalent (80.5%) histology. Logistic regression showed that the cases differed from the both matched and unmatched controls only by being only one to two years younger (32.1 yrs. vs. 33.1 yrs. and 34.1 yrs., respectively) at lupus diagnosis. We did not combine the control groups because they were statistically significantly different from each other. Using the control group matched for age and race, logistic regression analysis showed no significant differences between cases and controls for any of the clinical variables. In particular, there were no significant differences for factors related to SLE (disease severity, use of immunosuppressive drugs, use of corticosteroids alone), chronic metabolic diseases (hypertension, diabetes), and HPV risk factors (marital status, smoking, gravidity, parity). Power analyses for both the unmatched and matched comparisons were similar for both lupus severity and immunosuppressive medications. At these sample sizes, with a two sided test, an alpha=.05 and 80% power, the difference in population proportions detectable was approximately 0.17, which is between a small and moderate difference. None of the described differences approached this magnitude of effect.
The key finding of this study is that SLE patients who develop CIN are not clinically different from SLE patients who do not develop CIN. In particular, worsened disease severity and immunosuppressive treatment do not appear to be susceptibility factors for CIN in SLE. All female SLE patients should be monitored closely for CIN, with at least annual PAP smears.

This is a container that does exist.....we have a prospective new client who has a proposal from another company for these. Not Architectural Supplements...they don't have anything that tall and no tall squares that taper out at the base. Anyone???

Haven't seen anything like that lately...it would probably be called an "obelisk" planter if you try to Google it. Try "tall obelisk planter" maybe.

what is the history of science education in 1940's?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
In 1939, the World's Fair was held in New York City. High school students from around the country shared their science projects at the World's Fair. Many of these science projects provided hands-on learning.
As a result of these exhibits, a transformation started taking place in science education in the 1940s. Science education became more progerssive as part of New Deal legislation. Science education started focusing more on the practical applications of science and how it could be used in industry and to change our society. Science also was to be taught at all levels of education.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Thank you for contacting JustAnswer.
I am sorry to hear that you are having such a difficult situation with your partner. Extended family issues can be quite difficult and can be very dangerous to a relationship. It sounds as if your partner has not been able to give you a reasonable and rational reason why he tries to avoid your family get togethers and that you see no clear problem with how they treat him. I wonder if there are other things that your partner behaves this way about, or if it is strictly related to events with your family.
You might try asking him if there is anything that you could do to make these family get togethers easier or more enjoyable for him. You may use this forum to let him know how important these events are to you and to perhaps prioritize that some seem extremely important while others might be more optional for him to decide if he wants to attend. Sometimes, writing about this type of issue to each other can allow the other person to be less defensive and more likely to open up. You may also want to ask him if there are any things that you do or don't do that cause him this type of frustrations to see if this may be a resentment being acted out on his part.
It seems as if the two of you have developed a pattern in which there is quite a bit of debate and discussion about seeing your family. I wonder what would happen if you began to simply invite him to attend with you and then went, with or without him, without arguing or over-discussing this issue with him. He may then decide not to attend any family functions (and then you would need to decide if this would be acceptable to you or not) or he may decide that he might choose to go to some or all of them. In any event, taking the emotional charge out of the situation by stopping the nagging, fighting and bartering, may change the impact of this on the relationship.
In the meantime, be sure to take care of yourself through healthy eating, exercise, rest and reaching out to supportive people in your life. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if I can clarify further.

About the Book
Scoon's talent as an artist serves him well here because as carefully as these works are constructed and as technically brilliant as these works are it is that organic quality that the artist has to work so hard to achieve. Scoon alludes to the irresistible power of nature even as he hews closely to his belief that the work should look as if nature has indeed done most of the work.

I can't believe I didn't post this here. Y'all have helped me through a lot since I found this board and I have shared a lot here. I actually have GREAT news to share. ODD's father (hadn't paid child support in 6 years until last August), well he made an almost $4K payment to his back child support plus has been paying $500 extra a month to his child support to get the arrears caught up. So we now have $1,000 in savings, a credit card, and my car paid off. I get to pick up the title in the morning. I also used the money to get ODD her presents for her birthday and order pizza, wings, and cinnamon sticks for dinner that night. I can't believe she is 11 now.
Also YDD is officially enrolled in head start and the speech therapist said that YDD knows all of her 3 year old sounds, all of her 4 year old sounds, most of her 5 year old sounds, and a few 6 year old sounds. She said she doesn't think that she will have any problems with speech except for when YDD starts talking in paragraphs, she sometimes gets hard to understand.

Small and medium-sized businesses employ more than half the workforce but may be passed over in the debate about economic reform because they lack political influence, according to a top business representative.
The warning echoes new findings in a report by financier GE Capital which concludes that the mid-market sector – companies with $10 million to $250 million in revenue – holds the key to jobs growth.
Despite representing just 1.3 per cent of all businesses, the sector contributed close to $425 billion to growth last financial year, exceeding the value added by either small or big business.
The sector also contributed about 3.2 million full-time jobs, well above the 1.7 million jobs in large companies, the GE report found. It was provided exclusively to The Australian Financial Review. The sector generates more than a third of the economy's total revenue, with turnover of $1.05 billion in 2008-09.
In an address to the National Press Club in Canberra yesterday, the chief executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
"It is a frustration that more powerful forces – whether governments, trade unions, bankers or larger businesses in their supply chains – don't understand or particularly care about their circumstance."
The head of GE Capital Australia and New Zealand, Skander Malcolm, said: "Both small and large businesses get attention in the Australian marketplace, and are effective at influencing policy in their sectors.
"The mid-market, on the other hand, often goes unnoticed yet punches well above its weight."
GE Capital warned that the mid-market faced a struggle to remain viable. Turnover grew 0.7 per cent between 2004 and 2009, significantly lower than that of big business (2.6 per cent). The sector shrunk from 27,000 to 25,520 businesses over the same period.
The fastest-growing companies in the sector were in education (34 per cent turnover between 2004 and 2009), while falls were experienced by financial and insurance companies (minus 11.2 per cent).
The greatest threats were access to capital and the skills shortage.
"While mid-market companies want to hire more staff, they face both skills shortages and limited capacity to manage human resources effectively," the GE Capital report said.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Airport shuttle
Room was eh, but functional. This hotel was bad, the staff wasn't helpful only after I was checking out that the staff was decent and actually gave us customer service but before that when I was trying to check in, the staff was not welcoming. Body language was off, greeting us was not so pleasant, another group of people who were standing by us seemed to have been treated the same. The worse was when our time to check was at 3 PM and when we came to check in, they told us that our room was not ready because of people extended their stay. I have never experienced this personally because, at other hotels, they always had the room ready for their customers no matter what. I had to wait a massive 4 additional hours until my room was ready. My party and I were extremely disappointed. Will never go back to this Holiday location, and I advise others who are booking to triple check your room availability, if not, beware of fighting with their customer service. Also, the price for this hotel is NOT worth it. Please see other options.
The room was comfortable and clean and included everything you'd expect to have in a hotel room. The hotel was under renovations during my stay so the atmosphere of the hotel wasn't too nice, but that's understandable. The renovation plans look like they will be impressive once they are completed.
Staff was great; friendly and very helpful. Someone else already mentioned the shower water temperature. It was hard to balance it out to a comfortable, bareable point. Way too hot. Other than that, room was pretty alright for the price.
- Great location. - Clean Room. - Comfortable bed. - Decent value. Hotel is currently undergoing a needed remodel. Some portions of the hotel looked great, others looked pretty run down.
Great Location. That's about it. The facilities are really run down. Even the chromed towel rack in the bathroom was rusted. The shower delivered two temperatures, very hot and scalding. The hallway carpets were dirty. The saving grace for me is that I got in late and I left early so I did not have to spend much time in the hotel. Bottom line, this could be a nice facility if they had a major remodel. In the mean time I won't be using it again.,
The pool was very nice The place is just filthy and rundown. The carpet look like it was 30 years old and everything in the room and in the hallway was just kind of disgusting. The whole third floor had a gross smell to it.
Close to the river Our room view was to the freeway instead of the river
Staff was very rude and not very helpful throughout the entire trip. Starting from checkin to requesting a shuttle to asking for a razor everything seemed like such a chore. Everyone I encountered left a sour taste in my mouth
This is a great stay/value for your money. My main concern staying at any hotel is cleanliness. A clean bed, clean bathroom, and good breakfast. Holiday Inn Towne Lake fit the bill. It's right off Lady Bird Lake and a 20 minute walk to 6th st. I would definitely recommend.
The bed was so comfy!!! I did ask for help or suggestions for me and my 11 year old to do in the evening and the driver (I hate I didn't get his name) really tried his hardest to help me out. It was hard since Austin is more of an adult atmosphere at night but he keep looking & always looked at location & price of a cab since I didn't have a car. He finally found a spot we could try out & he drove us there even though it was slightly out of their driving distance. He said he didnt want my daughter to be bored & wanted her to enjoy her stay. Very polite and helpful! There is construction going on but nothing bad and no noise.
The renovation of the whole room was on point and a very nice few by the river There's nothin not to like
The helpfulness of the staff and the location
We love the location and the extra space with the pull out sofa! Also Tunisia who works at the front desk is exceptional at customer service. She just gets it-and quickly! You should promote her or at least hang on to her!! Cleanliness around the pool area
The room was very clean. The staff was courteous and helpful. The beds were very comfortable.
Very nice accommodations and quick check in on a last minute booking. Would definitely stay there again. There were really no negatives but a complimentary breakfast would have been a nice addition to my stay.

The Packers began preparation today for their final preseason game Thursday at Tennessee. Driver, who injured his foot during the second quarter of Green Bay's game Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, was not on the practice field watching drills.
"He's improving. It's a foot sprain, which is the classification of the injury," McCarthy told reporters after practice at Clarke Hinkle Field. "I'm very hopeful that he will play against Philadelphia. He will not play this week against Tennessee."
Running back Vernand Morency, who has been injured since the first practice of training camp, also will not play. Morency had pads on today, but practiced on his own inside the Don Hutson Center.
"I talked to him today," McCarthy said. "He felt better today than he did last week. I'm hopeful once again for Philadelphia. He will not play this week."
Cornerback Will Blackmon practiced despite a sprained thumb that he sustained against the Jaguars. Offensive lineman Jason Spitz practiced after injuring his calf Thursday night, but will not play on Thursday against the Titans, McCarthy said.
New to the walking wounded list include linebackers Abdul Hodge (knee) and Spencer Havner (back), and safety Aaron Rouse (hamstring). All three were injured against Jacksonville, and it is uncertain if they will return to practice on Monday. Hodge has battled knee tendonitis throughout this off-season, which "flared up" on him after the game last Thursday, McCarthy said.
Offensive linemen Orrin Thompson (knee) and Tony Palmer (hamstring) as well as defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (bruised knee) continued to be withheld from practice. Thompson has been sidelined since he was hurt Aug. 18 against Seattle. Palmer was injured in the team's first preseason game Aug. 11 at Pittsburgh. Gbaja-Biamila was injured against Seattle.

Twelve Chinese locomotives, the first the Asian country has exported to Latin America, are en route to Cuba, which bought them in January to improve rail service on the communist island, the official daily Granma said Monday.
The DF7G-C diesel-electric locomotives with 2,500 horse power were shipped Sunday from the northeastern port of Tianjin, Granma said, but it did not give an arrival date or purchase price.
"The 12 locomotives bound for Cuba are the first that China has exported to Latin America and the Caribbean, making this trade operation another symbol of the growing links between China and Cuba," a Cuban diplomat in China, Alberto Blanco, was quoted as saying.
In a bid to ease its passenger and cargo transit problems Cuba also purchased 1,000 Chinese buses this year, of which 200 are already in use.
China was Cuba's fourth trade partner in 2004 -- Venezuela was first -- but at the end of September 2005 it was in second place, after a 48 percent surge in bilateral trade, the Cuban foreign trade ministry said.
Bilateral trade was worth 259 million dollars in 2004 but at the end of September had already surpassed 550 million dollars, official data showed.All rights reserved. � 2005 Agence France-Presse.

News Brief: Show Extended
Carnegie Museum Extends GigaPan Gallery Show Through JulyThe Carnegie Museum of Natural History has extended through July its display of the juried gallery show from last fall's Fine International Conference on Gigapixel Imaging for Science. Prints of the eight stunning high-resolution photos, each up to 17 feet in length, are displayed in the R.P. Simmons Family Gallery on the museum's third floor.
The photos include those of a swirling bait ball of salema fish near the Gallapagos Islands, ancient petroglyphs in northern Saudi Arabia and one of the world's largest colonies of penguins in Antarctica. They were selected by a jury as part of the imaging conference, which explored how high-resolution imaging technologies can be used to advance and communicate science.

"Well, and what sort of person is Mr. Bazaroff himself? he asked,
with pauses between the words.
"What sort of person is Bazaroff ? " Arkady laughed. "Would you like to have me tell you, my dear uncle, what sort of person he is?"
"Pray do, my dear nephew."
"He is a Nihilist."
"What? " asked Nikolai Petrovitch ; and Pavel Petrovitch elevated his knife, with a bit of butter sticking to the blade, in the air, and remained motionless.
"He is a Nihilist," repeated Arkady.
"A Nihilist," said Nikolai Petrovitch.
"That comes from the Latin nihil, 'nothing,' so far as I can judge; consequently that word designates a man who who recognizes nothing."
"Say, 'who respects nothing,' " put in Pavel Petrovitch, and devoted himself once more to his butter.
"Who treats everything from a critical point of view," remarked Arkady.
"And isn't that exactly the same thing? " inquired Pavel Petrovitch.
"No, it is not exactly the same thing. A Nihilist is a man who does not bow before any authority whatever, who does not accept a single principle on faith, with whatever respect that principle may be environed."
"And dost thou think that is a good thing? " interrupted Pavel
"That depends on who it is, dear uncle. It is all right for one man and very bad for another."
"You don't say so. Well, I see that that is not in our line. We people of the old school assume that without principles it is impossible to take a step or breathe. . . . We shall content ourselves, therefore, with admiring these gentlemen -- what do you call them? "
" Nihilists," replied Arkady, with distinctness.

Fed's Raskin: Current Fed Policy Appropriate to Support Economy
A top Federal Reserve official acknowledged Thursday that ultra easy monetary policy creates problems for savers, but countered that such policy is necessary to get the economy back on track.
"Critics of the Federal Reserve's accommodative monetary policy are correct that the low level of interest rates represents a strain on households who rely on income from interest-bearing assets," Fed governor Sarah Bloom Raskin said. But she also said this burden needs to be seen in its proper perspective, as "less than 7% of total household assets are directly held in transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, savings bonds, and bonds."

TEA is a powerful and easy-to-use Qt4-based editor with many useful features for HTML, Docbook, and LaTeX editing. It features a small footprint, a tabbed layout engine, support for multiple encodings, code snippets, templates, customizable hotkeys, an "open at cursor" function for HTML files and images, miscellaneous HTML tools, preview in external browser, string manipulation functions, Morse-code tools, bookmarks, syntax highlighting, and more.
Release Notes: The GTK branch can now be compiled on modern Linux distributions.
THIS (This HTML Is Simple) is a content management system with blog capabilities. It features HTML templates, themes, and an extensible database design, with an emphasis on code/data separation, but it has many odd features and requires much manual maintenence.
Release Notes: This release adds a major improvement in efficiency and performance. Configuration and HTML templates have been re-implemented to reduce complexity and decrease the number of files. Error handling has also been improved.
KDevelop is an integrated development environment which makes the creation and development of applications an easy task even for beginners. Highlights of the current release are: an application wizard for easy creation of KDE 4, Qt4, GNOME, and terminal C/C++ projects, full project management, a syntax-highlighting editor, code completion, an integrated dialog editor for the Qt/KDE GUI libraries, an internal debugger, a full-featured class browser with class tools, CVS and SVN support, an integrated HTML-based help system offering manuals and class-references, and extensive search mechanisms to browse sources and documentation.
Release Notes: This version added integration for unit tests, so that you can easily run and debug them while working on your projects. The New Class wizard was updated and many changes were made with regards to polishing of the UI in different places. Better support for C++ 11 features was provided.
Bibfilex is software to create and manage archives of bibliographical items (books, articles, etc.) according to Biblatex structure and rules. It is far less advanced than other bibliographic managers like JabRef, and allows only a few customizations. Its strength is speed and lightness, especially when used with many items. It uses SQLite as a database. It can store the items according to each of the entry types described in the Biblatex manual (book, article, etc.), import the content of a file in Biblatex format (like a JabRef database, a Mendeley BibTex exported file, or a Google Books BibTex downloaded file), export data to a Biblatex file (like a JabRef database), locate an item just typing its author name, title, etc. filter the items by selecting a keyword in a list, filter the items according to three different conditions (or to manually modify the SQL statement of the filter to make it more suitable or complex) or according to the \cite commands contained within a Latex document, associate various attachments (files of every kind) with each item, activate autocompletion of data in each field with "Ctrl + Space", automatically create unique BibTex keys according to a pattern defined by the user, and specify the fields (columns) shown in the grid view of the data. It is also possible to replace the \cite and \printbibliography commands in a Latex document with extended citations and bibliography, which are composed according to a user-defined pattern, to export the Latex file in other formats more easily.
Release Notes: Bugs were fixed.
"lookat" (or "bekijk" in Dutch) is a program to view text files and manual pages. It is designed to be more user-friendly than more conventional text viewers such as less.
Release Notes: This maintenance release compiles correctly with LVVM clang.
GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or using remote computers. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. If you use xargs today you will find GNU parallel very easy to use, as GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU parallel as input for other programs.
Release Notes: The software can now be installed in 10 seconds by running wget -O - pi.dk/3 | sh. CPU detection was added for HURD, IRIX, SCO OpenServer, and HPUX. --ctrlc will send SIGINT to tasks running on remote computers and thus kill them. --load now uses 'ps' to find the number of running processes instead of 'uptime' and is much faster. CentOS 3.9 and FreeBSD 7 compatibility bugs were fixed. Some of these required quite extensive changes, making this release beta quality. --retries now works with --onall. The new --load computation now works on FreeBSD 7. --nice works under tcsh.
sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw is firmware for Cypress FX2 USB chips which makes them usable as simple logic analyzer hardware.
Release Notes: Support for the USBee DX was added, as well as support for devices with the older Cypress CY7C68013 (FX2) chip instead of the more recent Cypress CY7C68013A (FX2LP). The project was converted to a standard autotools based build/configuration system. Various documentation updates were made. Portability fixes were included for certain Linux distros and Mac OS X.
M4V Converter Plus converts purchased M4V videos to QuickTime MOV, MP4, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, or audio format at high speed. It supports the conversion of iTunes M4V rental files as long as your iTunes can play it. Batch conversion is supported.
Release Notes: The interface was redesigned. Users can now select a chapter of an M4V movie to convert, and selected the video or audio tracks to convert. The converter engine was refined and minor bugs were fixed.
OREKIT (ORbits Extrapolation KIT) is a low level space dynamics Java library. It provides basic elements (such as orbits, dates, attitude, and frames) and various algorithms to handle them (such as conversions, analytical and numerical propagation, and pointing).
Release Notes: The most noteworthy new features are the addition of thread safety for many parts while still preserving caching for performance even in multi-threaded environments, the inclusion of the DSST semi-analytical propagator together with the new unified propagators architecture, support for IERS 2010 conventions, Jacobians availability for all force models, and greatly improved performance and ability for the gravity fields force model. Users are advised to upgrade to this version, which depends on Apache Commons Math 3.2, despite several incompatibilities with respect to previous 5.x versions.
Zend Framework Models Generator generates Zend Framework model classes from MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases. It can query a given database to retrieve the list of tables and their fields, and generates model classes for one table or for all tables of the specified database.
Release Notes: Support for PostgreSQL and SQLite databases was added.
WAF-FLE is a console for ModSecurity. It allows modsec administrators to view and search events logged by mlogc or mlog2waffle. The dashboard shows a graphical view of events, and when combined with the powerful drill-down filter allows quick searching for relevant events. Events can be viewed in detail, whether sent by one or many sensors.
Release Notes: This release features a filter-enabled Dashboard, the ability to delete events by filter, compression of full events, use of X-Forwarded-For or other headers as the source address, support for the ModSecurity 2.7 Engine-Mode variable, GeoIP support in the dashboard, mlog2waffle, a daemon that works as a replacement for mlogc, a much improved sensor and user management interface, improved ModSecurity events parsing supporting some new fields like stopwatch2, and many bugfixes.
noPoll is a WebSocket implementation (RFC 6455), written in ANSI C, which allows building pure WebSocket solutions or provides WebSocket support to existing TCP-oriented applications. It was written to have a clean, easy-to-use-and-integrate library.
Release Notes: This initial public release includes a complete production-ready WebSocket implementation (RFC 6455).
A tool that saves MP-BGP updates into a database for troubleshooting.
A fast C++ matrix library with an API similar to Matlab's.

McLean Group's Blackcomb Av serves real estate, movie and TV activities
5 bizjets and 17 helos based across western Canada fly studio mgrs to locations, skiers to slopes.
Future opportunities
(L–R) FW Aircraft Mx Lead Engineer Patrick Chesters, FW Dir Mx Chris Frey and RW Mx Engineer Scott Delaney with Citation Mustang.
Blackcomb has developed a strong niche in fuel efficient short to medium-haul charter and strategically deploys its cost efficient 4-place Mustang to bring new customers into the charter business.
While the Sovereign has been fielding a growing business in nonstop ops across North America additional range capability will be the next step forward in Blackcomb's fleet evolution. Ability to fly reliably nonstop to Hawaii, and to overfly US territory coming back from Central America and the Bahamas, opens additional market opportunities.
Chief Scheduler Sulaiman Umar (L) discusses a Sovereign trip request to Hawaii with Scheduler Kayo Yamamoto.
"As a company we've realized the value of business aviation for a long time," says David McLean who also chairs a Canadian based company with a Bombardier Challenger.
"Looking to the future, we see a strong and continuing market for Sovereign class equipment as well as for longer-range supermidsize options."
On the rotary-wing front airframe acquisitions will continue with a focus on twin turbine merchandise says Morris, adding, "We anticipate a lot of growth in powerline infrastructure support over coming years and these clients specify twin engine equipment."
For Blackcomb pilots, flying a mix of Part 91 and Part 135, lifestyle and career development opportunities have never been better. Flying for an aviation-oriented family-run business, with well-maintained new equipment and a varied mission mix, has translated into a happy and motivated pilot group with low turnover.
Editor-at-Large Grant McLaren has written for Pro Pilot for over 20 years and specializes in corporate flight department coverage.

PROJECT CARE - Medical Supplies to Mexico
Mission | Humanitarian Aircraft History | Medical Supplies to Mexico | School Busses for Tados Kids | Gray Whales, Orcas & Turtles |
Cessna Updated | Wounded Warrior | Veteran's Administration
year since late 2000 humanitarian missions have been flown
to villages in Baja California. Medical and school supplies
for small clinics and remote schools have helped solve health
and educational needs. During every Christmas season, hundreds
of gifts have been provided to the children of farm workers
who have virtually nothing. The following is but one report
that is typical of the missions of Wilderness Conservancy's
Project CARE.
On February
22 I flew another load of medical supplies to the Todos Santos
clinic in Baja California. While there I visited the small
Special Education school (for handicapped children) where
the little girl mentioned in my initial report (quoted below)
was in attendance. I was amazed!!! That little girl who only
a couple of months earlier was virtually comatose in the wheelchair
was up and running about like a near normal little kid - smiling,
laughing and wanting to be in all the photos.
She had turned her wheelchair over to a little boy who has Down's Syndrome and undiagnosed birth defects. I attach to this up-date a photo of the little girl in early December in the wheelchair and another photo taken during the February trip of the same little girl goofing off with the little boy in her old wheelchair, and me. During the course of this last trip, I stopped at Mulege, BCS, to talk with the doctor at the village clinic that is under construction and to fly across to the western side to San Ignacio Lagoon to monitor the status of that California Gray Whale calving ground. You will recall that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries wanted to build the world's largest salt factory at that lagoon and only abandoned that goal when extreme local and international pressure was brought to bear on the Mexican government. Her new mobility made the trip well worthwhile.
I am delighted
to report that the lagoon is alive and well. I saw several
hundred whales with calves. I went out in a panga (a small
outboard motor boat that can carry up to eight people) and
was approached many times by curious whales and calves, so
close that I could pet them. It is amazing how gentle these
giants are. The people who provide the pangas are carefully
controlled by the government. They must be licensed following
a training program and they are monitored to ensure that no
regulations are violated and that no whales are approached
by the boats - if a whale approaches a boat, that is OK. This
is a remote venue but has a dirt road that can be used for
access to the launching site at the lagoon, and a good dirt
airstrip that handles private aircraft and charter aircraft.
If you might be interested in visiting the lagoon during the
calving season, please let me know and I will give you a contact.
I can strongly recommend it.
I also want to report that that aside from the medical supplies
and equipment donated by Kaiser Permanente Hospital of Panorama
City, Gayle Smashey and Ron Milberger donated a very nice
Gateway 2000 computer system. That computer was set up and
operating at the Special Education school where it was in
constant use by the children. They were mesmerized by this
marvel and clearly will benefit by it. Little kids learn fast
and this fine tool will help them learn computer skills.
A Year 2000
Christmas Gift for a Small Village in Mexico In December 2000, Kaiser
Permanente Hospital, Panorama City, California, generously donated medical equipment
and supplies to Wilderness Conservancy's "Project CARE." The gift was
sufficient to fully equip the small village clinic at Todos Santos, Baja California,
Mexico, and its three examination rooms. Wilderness Conservancy's President, Bob
Cleaves, flew the smaller items to Todos Santos in the foundation's Cessna 206
in time for Christmas. The larger items of medical equipment and supplies, office
equipment and furniture and patient waiting room furniture filled a semi-truck
with 48 foot trailer and was delivered to the refurbished clinic at Todos Santos
in April 2001.
said a 206 can't carry a lot of stuff"
The TS airstrip alone
has an interesting history. The airstrip is not licensed and is not open to the
public. Special permission was needed for our aircraft to land there. About five
years ago a Columbian aircraft carrying drugs experienced engine problems and
landed on the strip. The towns people were very angry, unloaded the drugs and
burned them then dug a big, very big, hole then destroyed and buried the aircraft.
The Columbia government was unhappy because it wanted the aircraft back but it
was too late. Since then no aircraft has landed there except an occasional crop
duster. The strip had to be graded for our aircraft to land. In addition, the
Mexican government arranged for our aircraft to be met by the Marines (who guarded
the aircraft for four days) and the police (who handled the formalities). Everyone
was very nice and most appreciative of the project. The big and heavy items are
being shipped by truck to Todos Santos. Bob carried most of the small, light weight
medical items and a computer system for the special education school (for handicapped
kids) so it can be hooked up to the Internet and communicate via e-mail with Bob.

Head Notes
Disposing of the appeal, the Court HELD : 1.1. It is unnecessary to impose a condition that the distance of 1 KM for carrying out the quarry activities should be converted to 2 KM. The affidavit of Pollution Control Board indicates that if proper safeguards are adopted as indicated in the said affidavit, it will not cause any air, water or noise pollution, much less, dust particles affect the water supply system in Ground Level Service Reservoir (GLSR). [722-F-G] 2. It is, therefore, directed that the order made by the High Court be modified by directing that the distance of 1 KM is a safe distance between the site of the quarry leases and the residential localities or GLSR. [722- G-H] CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION : Civil Appeal Nos. 1907-1908 of 2000. From the Judgment and Order dated 17.10.97 of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in W.P.

Environment : Pollution-Mining activities-In residential locality-Impact on Ground Level Service Reservoir (GLSR)-Safe distance-Maintaining of- Expert Committee appointed by High Court recommended a safe distance of 1 KM-However, High Court extended it to 2 KM-On appeal, Supreme Court appointed an Expert Committee-Accepting the Committee's report, Held : 1 KM is a safe distance between the site of the quarry leases and residential locality or GLSR. A Petition in the nature of a public interest litigation was filed in the High Court praying for a direction to the respondents to take action against the illegal blasting and crushing of granite stones as it was causing dust pollution in the residential areas. The expert commit-tee appointed by the High Court recommended that mining activities could take place beyond a safe distance of 1 KM. However, the High Court directed that no quarry lease should be granted within a distance of 2 KM from the residential locality or Ground Level Service Reservoir. On appeal, this Court appointed an expert committee, which also recommended a safe distance of 1 KM.
CASE NO.: Appeal (civil) 1907-1908 of 2000 PETITIONER: Mohammed Haroon Ansari & Anr. RESPONDENT: The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, A.P. & Ors. DATE OF JUDGMENT: 12/12/2003 BENCH: S.

Senior creditors and receivers of
UBS, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland and Rothschild will present strategic plans to maximise recoveries for senior lenders of the failed company, and to its receiver, KordaMentha, according to sources familiar with the situation.
RiverCity, owner and operator of the $3 billion Clem Jones Tunnel (CLEM7), was placed in receivership in February this year, after directors declared the company (then listed in the Australian Securities Exchange) insolvent due to a large gap between expected and actual revenues generated from the toll road's patronage.
A briefing on the company's financial and operating performance this morning will precede the banks' presentations. Lenders will then be taken on a bus tour along the tunnel on Tuesday, sources told Financial Review DealBook.
The need for advisers to be appointed at this stage was questioned by industry sources as the toll-road operator – which continues its struggle to lure drivers – is not expected to be sold until 2013, well after the adjacent $5.6 billion Airport Link – a 6.7 kilometre project in Brisbane that will connect to the tunnel – is completed in mid-2012.
"It would be a waste of creditor's money in fees," a source familiar with the situation said. "There is not much to do until Airport Link is in operation."
However, KordaMentha partner Martin Madden, who is acting as receiver of the company, told DealBook that the meeting (which is the first physical meeting of senior lenders after the company collapsed) would be an opportunity to discuss ideas and issues of future strategy.
"There is no plan for a sale in the near term and therefore no urgency to appoint anyone," he said. "Lenders will also have the opportunity to tour the infrastructure."
Last month the receiver said RiverCity shareholders were "unlikely" to receive any of their money back.
Industry observers believe that it is not until the Airport Link tunnel – which connects the RiverCity's CLEM7 Tunnel at Bowen Hills to Brisbane airport – starts operating, that creditors of both projects would have access to meaningful data to make informed decisions.
RiverCity's diverse range of senior creditors, which includes several banks and hedge funds that bought the company's loans at hefty discounts, are owed about $1.3 billion. For the adjacent Airport Link project a banking syndicate of 10 banks is providing up to $3.1 billion in debt (so far drawn to $2.4 billion).
Parcels of RiverCity's senior debts are still available for sale in the secondary market at prices of about mid-30¢ in the dollar. But debt in BrisConnections – controlled by a trust that owns the concession to finance, build and operate the Airport Link for 45 years – is not expected to change hands until mid-2012. Debt buyers are unlikely to want to bear construction and ramp-up patronage risk.
BrisConnections' 10-strong banking syndicate is also on the hook for a further $111 million six-year revolver loan to fund a reserve facility that can be drawn to meet five months of debt service after the project opens.
One scenario foreseen by industry observers is that
"If those reserves get exhausted and revenues aren't sufficient to pay interest, there will be a default, at which point creditors could seek to take control," one industry source said.
BrisConnections has a further $199 million in cash reserves, in place to support it for an extra nine months during its ramp-up period. A $200 million capital injection by Thiess and John Holland can also be called upon.
But the company has disclosed that if actual traffic volumes are over 40 per cent lower than projected, the interest cover ratio covenant under the syndicated loan facilities is likely to be breached.
Independent traffic expert Arup, a London-based consulting firm, said Airport Link will have average daily trips of more than 60,000 in the first month and in excess of 90,000 after 15 months of operation.
The estimates are similar to the first failed RiverCity traffic predictions done by Maunsells, a subsidiary of New York Stock Exchange-listed firm AECOM Technology Corp, which is now facing the threat of a class action by RiverCity's unit holders funded by IMF (Australia). AECOM said that between 60,000 and 100,000 cars would use the toll road throughout and after the ramp-up period. RiverCity later revised those forecasts, as consultants Integrated Management Information Systems estimated that on average only 40,435 vehicles a day would use the tunnel by 2020.
Both the Queensland government and BrisConnections have denied the lacklustre performance of the Clem Jones Tunnel will affect Brisbane's second major tunnel project.
But if the initial patronage readings at Airport Link are materially low enough to increase the likelihood of a default or a covenant breach, the banking syndicate to BrisConnections – which includes Allied Irish Banks, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, UniCredit, BNP Paribas, BOS International (Australia), Depfa Bank, DZ Bank, KBC Bank, Societe Generale and United Overseas Bank – would have an incentive to offload their exposures at a discount to interested parties. Those interested parties may include hedge funds that already hold a position in the debt of the adjacent RiverCity project.
Although it is too early to tell how things will play out, the ultimate holders of BrisConnections debt, as major stakeholders in that project, could end up driving both RiverCity's and BrisConnections' recovery outcomes, sources said, suggesting that the projects could end up being controlled by a consortium of lenders.
"Arguably, it would be premature to be, today, in October 2011, making a decision about appointing advisors," said a source familiar with the situation.
RBS, UBS, Goldman Sachs and Rotschild were unavailable for comment.

I just started Paleo about 2 1/2 weeks ago and feel great but my weight loss is slowing down. I eat two eggs with uncured ham steak for breakfast, 2 cups frozen fruit with coconut water for smoothie as snack. Lunch is 1 handful of baby spinach and one handful of Bibb lettuce then tomatoes, cukes and 1/2 avocado. Supper is roasted veggies and about 6 oz. of lean meat. I drink only water all day like 200 oz., I just don't know if I am going overboard somewhere. Would love any input some of you may have. Thanks so much and have a great night.
No announcement yet.
Do I need to watch my portions?

You have been Paleo for 2.5 weeks, and you are concerned about your weight loss "slowing down" already?
How often have you been weighing yourself? First step should be to put the scale away for a few weeks at a time. Once you understand the natural up and down that your weight will probably have from day to day, you can probably weigh yourself more often. But if you are concerned about your rate of loss already, you probably need to give yourself a break.
I found that charting my weight in a spreadsheet helped me to see the longer term trend, rather than the day to day up and down. For myself, I bounce around within about a 4 pound range, even if I am not "gaining" or "losing". If you have been going for 2.5 weeks, at a steady state rate of 2 pounds per week, that's only a 5 pound total loss that you might expect so far.
If you are thinking that 2 pounds per week is not enough for you, put it in perspective. That would be 100 pounds per year, if you could keep it up.
My own loss was over 50 pounds, over 8 months. Then, when I was very close to my SECOND goal, I stopped being quite as focused on eating carefully, and I leveled off for the next 5 months. Sometimes I weighed almost every day, and other times I went weeks between measuring. If I zoom in, it looks like it bounces all over the place, but when you zoom out, it is a clear, straight line drop.
Good luck. Keep with it.
If you are really needing to lose weight, I would cut back on the fruit and coconut water. Fruit is good for you, but that snack is a sugar bomb. If you want a snack, eat some veggies or do a cup of fruit and a few nuts, or cheese. When I snack, I try for fat, protein and maybe a few carbs.Primal since 4/7/2012

Well thanks for informing me. I obviously don't have any patience and the more I read about Paleo, I just assume that the weight will fall off. I was weighing every 3 days because I was so excited to see the number drop but decided to go weekly, because I figured if I was going offtrack, I could adjust. I suppose I should shut up, enjoy the ride and check in with the scale occasionally. Thanks for the perspective!
Especially, when trying to lose weight you can actually forgo fruit altogether. Plus, there are plenty of great offerings in primal, don't eat something you don't like. Now don't go wild on the nuts, or cheese. Calories do matter, so use good sensePrimal since 4/7/2012

Well it looks to me like you already *are* watching your portions. In all honesty, I couldn't tell you what I eat in a day in terms of handfuls or ounces. I eat when I'm hungry. I stop when I'm full. I focus on protein and fat. I don't even bother to portion out vegetables or greens- they're calorically negligible and only have good nutrients. The only thing I limit is fruit because it is higher in sugar and will create an insulin response. If you're really hungry mid-morning, you probably need to eat more at breakfast.High Weight: 225

Weight does NOT equal health -- ditch the scale, don't be a slave to it!
I do agree with everyone here. I've only been primal for a week but I have been a scale-slave for 7+ years and I decided when I started this journey I was going to give it at least two months before even worrying about the scale or weight loss. I'm surprised I haven't cracked and taken a peek at the scale, but I promised myself this wasn't going to be another obsessive, frantic 'last attempt' style effort. It's about eating what's good for you.
I was a little worried at first about counting my calories but since introducing more fats, meat and veggies I'm not eating as many nuts, fruits and 'snacky' foods that I was last week. I looked over what I ate yesterday and I ended the day at about 2500 calories, which for me is maintenance. It's 100 times better than the nightly 3000+ calories binges, combined with whatever else I'd eaten that day.
Beyond that, I'm trying to fix the problem, not the symptom. This amount of weight doesn't happen to someone who's eating the right foods and treating their body right. I've got 100+ pounds to drop and it's because of my binge eating disorder, which is being caused by a lack of satiation and tons of sugar and grains in my SAD diet.. Or something like that. All I know is that after just 1 week I'm feeling awesome and I can feel the pressing thoughts of food slipping away, where it used to consume me.
Another thing you have to remember is that patience really is a virtue. I spent a lot of time reading the success stories here, but you have to think that even for those people the weight didn't really just 'fall off', even if that's how they described it. If you're overweight for many years and finally find something that works I imagine at the end of the journey it can feel that way since it's finally off, but the weight isn't literally going to 'fall off'. It will take time, especially the closer you are to a healthy weight.
200 oz of water? Um, wtf?
More fatty meat, no more coconut water.
first few days to a week will more than always be water weight being lost first, from holding on to it all with bloat and a little inflammation. as you heal up you will start losing again, persistence. give it 6 weeks. that's a little more than only one month of an entire year. how will you feel after that 6 weeks? what will your measurements be? this should give you a better indicator.

I have given up diet coke (usually 6 a day) and then vodka in the evening with soda water but I gave it all up and drink water all day and night. Apparently it is alot? I just keep reaching for water instead of something else. Didn't really thnk it was excessive

The Cardiovascular Center has initiated AFFINITY GROUPS to stimulate and foster greater interaction and collaborations between CVC investigators and other investigators from MCW departments and outside institutions, such as Marquette University, the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and the University of Georgia.
Essential hypertension affects more than 50 million Americans and increased blood pressure salt-sensitivity is a prominent feature in certain populations of hypertensive patients, especially hypertensive African Americans who also exhibit a significantly higher risk of end organ renal damage. Although it is evident that the common forms of hypertension are multifactorial (polygenic and environmental), little significant progress has been made in identifying the specific genetic basis of human hypertension. Defining the physiological and genetic basis of common forms of human hypertension, however, remains a great challenge.
There is a broad interest related to the field of hypertension at MCW that is supported by several programmatic initiatives and a number of individual research grants. One Program Project Grant, which includes Allen W. Cowley, Jr., PhD, Carol Moreno-Quinn, MD, PhD, Mingyu Liang, PhD, and Andrew Greene, PhD, and is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is focused upon understanding the genetic regulation of the complex pathways regulating arterial pressure, the overriding challenge in the field of hypertension research. This program utilizes rat genetic model systems to advance our understanding of the complex regulation and interplay of a set of genes residing in two different regions of rat chromosome 13, which together are responsible in large measure for salt-induced hypertension, renal injury, and reduced blood vessel density of the microcirculation. This rat strain develops severe hypertension when placed on a high salt diet (Dahl salt-sensitive rat) and exhibits many of the same traits found in human forms of salt-sensitive hypertension. The uniqueness and strength of this program is that it is designed to explore the integrated genomic, cellular, tissue, organ, and whole animal components of hypertension. This multi-scale approach brings together an interdisciplinary team of experts in genomics/genetics, proteomics, bioinformatics/ computational biology, and cell/organ/whole animal physiology required to study this complex disease at levels that no one has yet attempted.
A second Program Project Grant, comprised of Drs. Allen Cowley and Mingyu Liang, and David Mattson, PhD, and Richard Roman, PhD, is focused upon the role of the kidney in hypertension and explores the physiological mechanisms responsible for the salt-induced renal dysfunction and hypertension found in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat model of hypertension. One of the projects hypothesizes that a high salt diet results in greater tubular sodium reabsorption in the outer medulla of the kidney in salt-sensitive rats and thereby stimulates excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the renal medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL). It is proposed that this will reduce medullary blood flow and drive the initial rise of arterial pressure during the first week of hypertension. Another project hypothesizes that an inflammatory process develops within the renal inner cortex and outer medulla that is initiated by infiltrating macrophages that produce angiotensin II. This further stimulates ROS production and renal injury.
A third project focuses on defining a mutation in one of the cytochrome P4504A genes (CYP4A) responsible for renal 20-HETE production and proposes that this genetic defect plays an important causal role in impaired pressure natriuresis, sodium retention, and the development of hypertension.
In closely related NIH-supported studies, Julian Lombard, PhD and Dr. Andrew Greene carry out studies to determine why a high salt intake leads to a dramatic reduction in small vessel density in a number of organs, and why it leads to a reduced ability of larger blood vessels to relax, both of which result in reduced blood flow to critical organs even in the absence of hypertension. A number of studies are under way to determine the mechanisms responsible for these important observations and particularly for the role played by the renin-angiotensin system and vascular oxidative stress.
In another important area of research related to hypertension, William Campbell, PhD and John Imig, PhD, focus on the elucidation of mechanisms whereby epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and the epoxide hydrolase enzyme influence renal and cerebral vascular function in hypertension. Newly developed, highly selective epoxide hydrolase inhibitors are being assessed to determine their ability to lower arterial blood pressure and improve renal vascular function and decrease stroke-induced brain damage in hypertension.

A whopping 64 percent of Republicans think it's "probably true" that President Obama is hiding important information about his background and early life, including his possible birthplace, according to a new nationwide survey of registered voters from Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind project examining Americans' belief in political conspiracy theories.
Belief in conspiracy theories is not unique to Republicans — 56 percent of Democrats believe in one of the four popular myths researchers asked about — but it is more common. Among registered GOPers, 75 percent said at least one of the four theories was likely true. Moreover, researchers noted: "Generally, the more people know about current events, the less likely they are to believe in conspiracy theories — but not among Republicans, where more knowledge leads to greater belief in political conspiracies."

Mumbai: The Bollywood celebrity Imran Khan has the main role in the production Delhi Belly and he also is presents in the promotional song entitled 'Bang D K Bose'. As for the item number that is going to be added to the comedy, the actor apparently wants the lovely Katrina Kaif. The video was released on Wednesday also features besides Imran, Vir Das and Kuna Roy Kapoor who also have major roles in the movie production, directed by the renamed film producer Abhinay Deo and produced by none other than Aamir Khan, Imran's uncle.
Continuing this trend, Aamir made the decision to add an item number in the flick but he did not made the decision regarding the details. But when the media asked Imran who would he like to star in the item number he answered right away and promptly "My vote is for Katrina Kaif. I have told Aamir mamu that he should consider her for the item number."
When questioned what has Katrina that is so special, the Bollywood actor Imran Khan said smiling "For her jawani." As for the gossips that the 'Bhag D K Bose'is meant to get one up on Ranbir Kapoor's 'Rockstar'which is scheduled to be released on July 1, Imran wanted to make it very clear that the reports are not true.
"There was an article on Tuesday, which says we wanted to play trumps on Rockstar, but this is really not the case. The song was meant to be like that, so we made that video," Imran stated. He also added that "The song was actually the brainchild of the film's writer Akshat Verma and later Amitabh Bhattacharya penned it and Ram Sampath composed and sang the song. It's a theme of our film. I feel it's the anthem that would come many times in the film."
In the film, Imran will be playing the part of a journalist, Kunal will be seen as a photographer and Vir will have the part of a cartoonist.

Handling Food Safely
When it comes to preparing food for your friends and loved ones there's really no such thing as being too safe. Below, we've outlined a few simple and easy food safety tips that you can take to ensure the only thing that arrives on the plate for your dinner guests is a delicious meal.
- Always thaw your products in the refrigerator or one of the other recommended methods outlined in our earlier post "Thawing Omaha Steaks Products." and never thaw products at room temperature.
- Food products won't last forever in the freezer or refrigerator. Always plan to use your fresh and/or thawed food items in a reasonable amount of time.
- Don't use the same cutting board or platter for raw meats and cooked meats. Wash your hands, utensils, cutting boards and counters that come into contact with uncooked items like beef, pork or seafood.
- Cook meats to the proper degree of doneness. Ground meat items need to be cooked to 160°F internal temperature. Click here for an easy-to-use and handy steak cooking chart of your own.
- Avoid allowing cooked meats to stand at room temperature. Place any leftovers into the refrigerator in a tupperware or other reusable container immediately to avoid spoilage.
Following the five guidelines listed above will make sure that the only thing your friends and family will take home at the end of the night is the memory of a beautifully prepared event!

edit UnNews:Obama birth certificate non-existent; Hawaii Health Director quits
Yea, maybe VFH worthy? I don't know, should I know? I don't think I know...where am I? --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა) 22:53, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
- It's the final countdown! (24 hours from now, that is) (talk) 23:09, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
My First UnNews Review. I hope it's helpful for you. (talk) 03:29, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
|I really enjoy the jokes you have in here. A couple of them miss the mark (like the last one with the reporters) but for the most part they are excellent. You have a really good mix of news reporting and humor. The main thing I would keep for future UnNews articles is the style you employ of starting a paragraph or sentence in a way that makes it seem like news then throwing in a "throw-away" joke at the end. A great example of this is at the end of the third paragraph with the quote that ends "Drunken, or not." This is great because it's a short and sweet joke that comes in at the end of a quote that seems like it could be legitimate. Also puns. The quality of a pun can make or break an article especially in an UnNews since they are so short. The one you have about Abercrombie and Fi
|The concept for this article is pretty weak. As I see it UnNews articles should be changing a story so that it has a humorous slant in the story itself. You have a pretty good start on that with adding the "because of obama's birth certificate," but that's quite a bit of an outdated reference now and is a little too close to the truth. What I usually do to write an UnNews is, obviously, start with a story, but add a pun or something outrageous to the title (Example: I wrote an article about Adam Wainwright undergoing Tommy John surgery but changed John to "Gun" which barely changes the title but changes the story dramatically.) This story seems to be more of the type of UnNews where you took a story and just added in jokes.
The above section was more for future UnNews articles. The concept can't really be improved without rewriting the whole article, which isn't advisable at this point. Although I don't think that this is the best way to do an UnNews it isn't bad, but simply taking an article and adding jokes (even though they are funny jokes) isn't enough, IMO, for a great UnNews. It's not a bad way to go though.
I have to ask: I'm sure there is a such thing as "medical billing fraud," but is that the technical term for it? If not, you should probably change it to the actual term as medical billing fraud is hard to read for some reason. It took me a couple times to actually figure out what that meant (maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know.)
|Prose and formatting:
|There are a lot of things about the prose that I noticed while that make the article a little clunky. Quite a few of your sentences have extra words in them that make them more drawn out then they should be. For example, in the first sentence the ending is "...and also the first person to quit working at a job in Hawaii." The "working at" in that sentence is entirely unnecessary, and honestly, I would rewrite the ending of that sentence so it reads something like "...he is not only the first to quit in Gov. Abercrombie's administration, but in all of Hawa'ii."
Some other sentences that are awkward are: 2nd para. 1st sent. "...response to Gov. Abercrombie trying..." could be changed to "Gov. Abercrombie's attempt. 2nd para. last sent. "...in order to keep the truth of Obama's missing birth certificate from surfacing." could be changed to "in order to keep the truth from surfacing" as it's already been determined that the birth certificate is what's being covered up. There are a couple more that are either minor fixes and/or I can't find right now. I'd recommend reading this through again (perhaps out loud) to see if you can find a way to make some of the clunkier sentences flow better.
Also to note: The company is Abercrombie and Fitch, not Finch. Although I agree that that would be absolutely hilarious.
Your formatting is fine for the most part. The only thing I would change is the quotes. For quotes in UnNews I personally use the <q></q> tags which puts the text in quotes and italics for you. Back when I was writing more UnNews Zim liked to just use '' (two apostrophes) to make quotes italic. You could also use a few more links to other articles. The links don't have to make sense, like you could link quit to the stupid article or something. Always a good thing to give other articles more traffic.
|I'm assuming the image is of the actual person mentioned in this article. That's good as anyone who knows more about this than I do will recognize that instantly. The picture could be bigger so that the caption doesn't take up so much space because right now the caption is almost as big as the picture itself. That being said the caption should also be shorter as per the formatting and prose section. I would recommend taking out the Interim Hawaii Health Director part, this makes the caption shorter and it lets readers get to the punchline faster.
|My overall "feel" of the article.
|Final Score:
|Good UnNews article overall. Featurable? Probably not, but I can definitely see a featured UnNews in your future.
