text: People are conflating two separate concepts here: 1) A must win game. 2) A loss that speaks to the true quality of a team. If the Cowboys lose this game, I concede it will be more deflating than your typical loss. But it won't be deflating because the loss itself is so devastating in terms of playoff chances; it's only week three and there's plenty of time for the standings to change and even flip. It will be deflating because it would suggest they aren't very good and are unlikely to make the postseason no matter what happens. It will be a continuation of the same mediocrity we've seen over the past decade.

Genealogy Report: Descendants of Darby McCarty
Descendants of Darby McCarty
13.MARY4 MCCARTY (DARBY3, TIMOTHY2, DARBY1) was born 10 Dec 1738 in Cedar Creek, Frederick Co., Virginia, and died in Spencer Co., Kentucky.She married JOHN PAUL FROMAN, JR. 1756 in Jamestown, James City Co., Virginia, son of JOHN FROMAN and ELIZABETH HITE.He was born 16 Oct 1734 in Cedar Creek, Frederick Co., Virginia, and died Aft. 1820 in Spencer Co., Kentucky.
Notes for JOHN PAUL FROMAN, JR.:
About 1762, Paul Jr. moved his family up to Westmoreland Co., PA. Although this land still belonged to the Indians, it was being claimed by both Virginia and Pennsylvania. Paul became an "illegal squatter", along with his uncle, Henry Spears and cousins, Peter and Mary Reasoner. He settled across the Monogahala River from them. Monogahala City was built on the site of Paul's home. In 1768, Paul attended the baptism of Peter and Mary Reasoner's second child, Jacob. Paul signed as "Lestes", or Godfather. Years later, Jacob Reasoner moved his family to Nelson Co., KY where Paul was well established.
Paul served in the Revolutionary War for Pennsylvania. His name appears on the "Pittsburgh Pay Roll" page 29 as Captain of a company, as having been in service 176 days. Paul's name is recorded in the Minute Book Of Virginia Court Held for Yohogana County, first at Augusta Town (now Washington) and afterward on the Andrew Heath Farm at West Elizabeth 1776-1780.
The History of Washington Co., PA by McFarland, tells of Paul Froman settling on the east bank of Monogahala River and of Paul's importance in this early day. He built Froman's Fort on Chartiers Creek, the north part of what is now Washington County. In 1780, Paul Jr. and his brother Jacob Froman sold out their holdings in Pennsylvania and along with others, including their cousins Jacob and Solomon Speers, migrated to Kentucky (which was then Lincoln Co., VA). Solomon was killed by Indians, but the other three man became wealthy and prominent citizens, raising illustrious families. Kentucky records show Paul Froman and Daniel Boone serving on the same jury. Paul Froman's earliest Kentucky land record was dated May 27, 1780 on Froman's Creek. Paul Jr. and Mary had eight know children.
John Paul was one of the founders of Bearshear Station, Bullitt Co. Kentucky in 1779. Kentucky records for Nelson Co. shows that Paul did not stay long at the Bearshear Station but moved into Nelson County were the family resided for many years. "Foman's "Mill Place" was the property which Paul Froman took up and afterwards sold to Robert McGee, and which was surveyed in 1786. Froman took up a great deal of land in this section, all of his purchases having special reference to the water privileges upon them. He built a grist mill upon his land in this township, and attempted to build a high dam and use an overshot wheel, but this was never accomplished, and the dam has always been called "Froman's Folly." The mill was located on Froman's Run at the falls, just below Harper's road. Froman made a trip down the river with produce and died there.

Notes for JONATHAN MCCARTY:
Jonathan McCarty, a pioneer of Jefferson Co., lived 29 April 1756-15 Feb. 1827. Born in the Shenandoah region, he was son of Darby McCarty and Hannah Richardson, who had moved to Virginia from Philadelphia.
Jonathan served as Captain of Militia in Shenandoah Co. in 1782. He is listed in the 1783 and 1784 in the Shenandoah Co., Va., tax lists that serve as the "1790 census." The McCartys moved to the Plum Run area of Nelson Co., Ky., by 1785 when Jonathan's brother, Enoch, received a land grant there. On 28 Dec. 1785 Jonathan is on a jury in Nelson Co. He appears on a tax list in 1786 that included Beech Fork with one white, one horse and three cattle.
Jonathan co-owned land on Froman's Creek in Nelson Co., along with Paul Froman, who later moved to Switzerland Co., although their connection is not known. McCarty and Froman sold this land to George Mitchell on 14 May 1793. Jonathan is listed 1795 in Nelson Co. with one white male older than 21, three horses, 13 cows, 121 acres and one slave.
Jonathan was still a Kentucky resident on Feb. 28, 1798 when he is reported as Captain of Kentucky Militia for Nelson Co., 27th Regiment. He may have moved to Indiana as early as 1799. According to one descendent, he was appointed that year as a justice of the peace in Hamilton Co., Ohio, which then included what is now Switzerland Co. His daughter, Lydia, married Gershom Lee 1800 in Gallatin Co.,Ky. Jonathan could have lived in Indiana at that time and returned to Kentucky to be married because of a lack of ministers (this happened with other early area settlers.)
Jonathan was definitely in Indiana in 1803 when he was named Justice of the peace for Dearborn Co., which then included the area of Switzerland Co. as far west as the Greenville Treaty line.
Son, Enoch, is listed in the 1807 Indiana Territorial Census for Dearborn Co. He acquired the NW1/4 Sec. 30 Twp. 4N Range 12E 7 Sept. 1809. This land is in Milton Township in what is now Jefferson Co. where Dry Fork meets the Indian-Kentuck Creek. By December 1809, the family had definitely moved to this area as two of Jonathan's children married two Howards in December 1809 in what was then Clark Co.
The first direct evidence of Jonathan in Jefferson Co. comes on 9 March 1810 when he registered an estray mark in Clark Co., and listed as a resident of Indian-Kentuck. His next record comes when he sued John Lee, who had patented 160 acres in the NW 1/4 Section 30 Twp. 4N Range 12E on Dec. 1, 1809, land in Milton Township. In 1811, McCarty sued Lee for trespass. claiming he leased land owned by Lee for a year until 31 Jan. 1811.
A History of Milton Twp. written sometime after 1909 for the Jefferson Co. Historical Society, says that when Jacob Short came to Milton Township in April 1810, he found McCarty living on a three-acre patch near the area later occupied by George Rowlinson (who owned land near the modern Rowlison's Lake).
Besides serving as Justice of the Peace in both Dearborn and Jefferson Cos., Jonathan was also a Post Master. An early Madison paper said he resigned as postmaster at Pittsburgh Township in 1818.
Jonathan married Edith McKay, whose brother Robert McKay settled 1808 on a farm near Lamb, Switzerland Co. The widow and children of Robert McKay's brother James settled at Lamb about 1804 and the McKays may have followed the McCartys to Indiana.
McCarty moved to Decatur Co. in 1821, along with son-in-law Gershom Lee Edith died after 1850 when she was listed in the Adams Township, Decatur Co., census.
The McCartys had 15 children according to Virginia court papers regarding a suit between the heirs of Robert McKay (Edith's) grandfather) and Lord Fairfax, which had lingered from the mid 1700s until 1823. Jonathan's four youngest sons are named in his will. Others are established by marriage records and family traditions. However, no one has been able to establish the names of all 15 children reliably.
Children of JONATHAN MCCARTY and EDITH MCKAY are:
|LYDIA5 MCCARTY, b. 1778, Shenandoah Co., Virginia; d. 1826, Indiana; m. GERSHOM LOWERY LEE, JR., 03 Dec 1800, Gallatin Co., Kentucky; b. 11 Feb 1781, New Jersey; d. 03 Dec 1841, Shelby Co., Indiana.

They went back to the pylon, and Menes put some fuel under a brass kettle.
Six days had gone by, and Queen Neter-Tua starved in the pylon tower.
Now, when the Goddess has stood upon the pylon and sung to the multitude below, she passes back to the shrine.
Through the pylon window-place crept the first grey light of dawn.
The pylon, leading to the temple, is of the time of Domitian and Trajan.
Remember when we starved in the pylon tower at Memphis, and what befell us there.
Every pylon, every gateway, every chamber, relates to us the exploits which he accomplished.
From the pylon a superb view may be gained of the ruins of Karnak.
Immediately behind this pylon comes a vast peristylar court, almost square on plan (186 feet by 173).
Knowest thou that she waited for thee there by the pylon gate?
1823, "gateway to an Egyptian temple," from Greek pylon "gateway," from pyle "gate, wing of a pair of double gates; an entrance, entrance into a country; mountain pass; narrow strait of water," of unknown origin. Meaning "tower for guiding aviators" (1909) led to that of "steel tower for high-tension wires" (1923).

Classic American Cheesecake
Recipe by kiwidutch
This recipe was adopted from a former member ( Mean Chef) who no longer frequents Zaar. Its a delicious recipe that I am delighted to have inherited.
Top Review by Danzy
This was a great cheescake. I used my leftover sugar cookies from Christmas for the crust and added a teaspoon of cinnimon. This was my first ever cheesecake and I found it easy to put together and very tastey. I served it with a puree of strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Yummy. Danzy

The game this Thursday with Curtis will be televised and can be viewed several places on the Internet. I know that Williams had a really good preseason as he was credited with a safety after slinging the ball carrier down for a loss in the scrimmage with Bonnabel in the Kiwanis Jamboree.
As for his recruitment, nothing has changed. Williams remains committed to Oklahoma State despite offers from the likes of Arizona State, Arkansas, Miami (Fla.), and Southern Miss.
"Nothing going to change there," he said. "I'm still committed, and so is Juwan (Offray)."
Offray is a teammate on the Karr defense and a cornerback for the Cougars.

QANTAS has been dealt a victory in its long-running dispute with 3800 baggage handlers after the industrial umpire rejected their claims for a limit to be put on the outsourcing of work.
The judgment from Fair Work puts an end to the second of three disputes between Qantas and key parts of its workforce, which culminated in the dramatic grounding of the airline's entire fleet last October.
The Transport Workers Union, which represents baggage handlers and other ground crew, had wanted lower-paid contractors to be capped at a fifth of the Qantas workforce.
But the Fair Work commissioners ruled that the union's claim failed because it had been unable to show that the use of contractors over many years had adversely affected the airline's other employees.
''To interfere with management's decision on such a matter would require clear and strong evidence of unfairness,'' the judgment said. ''No such case has been established.''
The outsourcing of work was at the centre of the bitter dispute between Qantas and the engineers' union, the Transport Workers Union and the long-haul pilots' union last year.
Although the engineers settled in December, the disputes between Qantas, the Transport Workers Union and the pilots' union over new enterprise agreements went to binding arbitration before Fair Work.
In the Transport Workers Union's case, it had sought wage rises of 5 per cent a year, while Qantas had proposed 3 per cent. But in the judgment released yesterday, the commissioners found in Qantas's favour because they believed that wage rises of 3 per cent a year had ''due regard to the current circumstances of the employees and Qantas''.
They also ruled against the union's attempt to restrict overtime hours for permanent workers.
But they agreed with the union's call for Qantas to be prevented from resorting to compulsory redundancies should it decide to hire more contractors.
Despite the dramatic turn of events last year, the commissioners concluded that the industrial action by either the union or Qantas could not be ''described as unreasonable''.
The dispute between the long-haul pilots and Qantas is still before Fair Work.
Qantas hailed the judgment as evidence it was ''entitled to run its business free from union control''. The airline's head of government and corporate affairs, Olivia Wirth, said it was clear the union's demands were ''out of step with what is fair and reasonable for a union to demand''.
The Transport Workers Union said it had a number of successes from the judgment, including an increase in superannuation and a commitment there would not be compulsory redundancies.
Qantas put the cost of the industrial dispute last year at $68 million.

Whenever I eat certain foods, I get an itchy throat and itchy lips. How do I make it go away?
Lots of people have come on the site with that same problem!
You may be experiencing something called oral allergy syndrome, which is explained in an article on this site.
Basically, if you're allergic to certain pollen, you may also be allergic to other parts of plants. Usually, that's the fruit, vegetables or nuts. It might be worse during hay fever season.
I'm not sure how to get rid of the itchy throat once it gets started, but you can try cooking the food that brings it on to prevent it from happening in the first place. Sticking it in the microwave for a short time might help too.
To find out just what your specific problemn is, you should ask your doctor directly, explaining exactly what your symptoms are and what food you ate to bring them on.
Hi kkt56,
Online resources are great sources of information to prepare you to ask questions of your doctor with regard to your medical care, but should not be taken in the place of your doctor's advice. In order to find out if you are experiencing an allergic reaction to the foods you are referring to, you need to see your doctor and be tested for those allergens.
If you are experiencing an allergy to those foods, the itchy throat and lips could be an anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylaxis can cause that reaction, among others, the symptoms range from mild to severe but could cause your throat to swell and close.
Hopefully, what you are experiencing is a mild reaction and you are not looking at a serious allergy. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!

I have the same problem! Raw nuts, large amounts of lettuce (like a salad) raw carrots, avocado, melons, pears that are firm,bananas, kiwi, and flour along with others all cause my throat and lips to itch and the gums around my teeth to swell. I am trying to eat healthy and it seems if I eliminate these there will be very little left to eat. I don't want to take benedryl because I get too sleepy to function. Good luck in finding a cure, I know how pesky this reaction can be.if you ate something like say an apple w/o rincing it . it could have the pollen on it from some airborne thing your body objects to. so in addition to trying to never eat that item again you can buy over the counter glyoxide drops they are probly near the toothpastes and mouthwashes but the bottle is so small like eye drops . as i recall the relief is instant and you could keep it in your purse . it needs no water just swishes around like 3 drops dose the trick . read the box to be sure , as i recall it tries to heal your toung or gums or whatever but not sure if you need to spit it out or if it was o.k. to swallow. hope that helps, love and aloha, nanny READ MORE
Don't eat that food because you could have a real bad allergy situation. Sometime your throat could swell and you would be unable to swallow or breathe. Please don not eat what ever it is - it could be a fatal situationREAD MORE
Our bodies, despite our disagreement with their decisions, have a personal way of letting us know something we have consumed just isn't for us.
While making subtle changes to the food by microwaving (strongly discouraged for use on anything) and wearing your body down, perhaps in a more subtle way, you should find something you like as well and quit eating what ever these items are which cause this reaction. Your body is telling you it doesn't want it, like it or need it.READ MORE
Don't eat the foods that cause the problem! Usually the reaction is pretty immediate so it's quite easy to work out what it is and avoid it. Have you tried taking an antihistamine - might get rid of the immediate symptoms! Good luck.READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

When Jill Irey was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, she was determined to fight back. She sought a treatment she hoped would be up to the job. The treatment she chose is hard on patients; life-threatening reactions that require hospitalization are common.
Her first severe reaction brought her to the hospital nearest her home, Shady Grove. "I was so out of it," she said. Even so, she could hear the oncology nurses "singing and talking to me like there was a real person inside that shell." Jill instantly responded to their care, to not "being treated like a number." During this first emergency stay at Shady Grove, she met Dr. Manish Agrawal and decided to ask him to become her oncologist so she could benefit from his and Shady Grove's expert, compassionate care.
In the many hospitalizations at Shady Grove that followed, the healing atmosphere and the "kindness and sweetness" of its people made all the difference. "I felt more at ease, happier. I smiled inside. And anything that makes me smile makes me feel better." At night, she sometimes would find a quiet spot to read, enjoying the peacefulness of the surroundings. She felt like a whole person.
More than a year has passed since Jill's last hospitalization, though she still comes by Shady Grove for outpatient services. "It's crazy to love a hospital and a doctor's office, but it's the people. It is life-sustaining," Jill says. "I've had five years of life I didn't expect to have. Mine has been a wonderful journey."
Do you have a story that you would like to share with us? Sharing your experience at Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center will inspire others and help us to recognize the efforts of those who made a difference in your life!

Relatively few organizations are making good use of gobs of log data they collect for purposes such as identifying attackers, according to a survey of 600-plus IT professionals by security outfit SANS.
According to the SANS Analyst Program survey on log and event management, "Sorting through the Noise," 22 percent of respondents use a security information and event manager (SIEM) to collect and analyze data, while 58 percent use log-management systems, and the remainder rely on other means. Most respondents said one of the main reasons to collect logs is for the purpose of regulatory compliance, though 9 percent discounted the importance of that.
[ InfoWorld Test Center reviews leading log-management solutions. Find out which one came out on top. | Prevent corporate data leaks with Roger Grimes' "Data Loss Prevention Deep Dive" PDF expert guide, only from InfoWorld. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
BACKGROUND: Meeting data privacy, residency and security requirements in the cloud
As in previous years that SANS has done this type of survey, virtually all the respondents said that "detecting and tracking suspicious behavior was important." But according to SANS, there's evidence that insufficient time is being spent in actually analyzing the collected log data.
"The data suggests that respondents are having difficulty separating normal traffic from suspicious traffic," said Jerry Shenk, author of the SANS report. "They need advanced correlation and analysis capabilities to shut out the noise and get the actionable information they need. But first they need to get more familiar with their logs and baseline what is normal."
The key issue in log analysis was cited to be "indication of key events from normal background activity" and "correlation of information from multiple sources." According to the survey, organizations are typically collecting log data from Windows and Unix-type servers, security devices, network equipment such as switches and routers, intrusion-detection systems and antivirus and other security applications, and virtualized servers and hypervisors, as well as desktops and laptops.
Organizations want to detect suspicious activity but when the IT professionals were asked how much time they normally spend on log-data analysis, the largest group (35 percent) replied, "none to a few hours per week." As for the rest, 18 percent didn't know, 11 percent said one day per week, 2 percent outsourced this task to a managed security service provider, and 24 percent defined it as "integrated into normal workflow." The SANS survey report, which notes analysis time overall actually seems down from last year, noted that about 50 percent of the smaller organizations spent zero to just a few hours analyzing logs.
Overall, "that is really not very much time spent getting familiar with logs," the SANS report states. "Given the advanced threats they are struggling with, we would have expected the time organizations spend on log analysis to increase, not decrease. We cannot stress enough that the best way for organizations to quickly detect abnormalities is to gain understanding of their baseline or 'normal' activity by reviewing/analyzing log data on a regular basis."
The SANS report points out that "SIEM-type tools, including log management tools with analysis and reporting options, will help organize and identify patterns and activities that are generally recognized as indicators of problems. Yet, 58 percent of organizations are not anywhere close to that level of automation."
At the same time, the SANS report emphasized that automated tools cannot be viewed as a complete substitute for the people who are log analysts who develop a "sixth sense" about traffic anomalies and security because they spend some time every day looking at log data.
When it came to defining difficulties, trying to detect so-called "advanced persistent threat" attacks -- APTS being the term to describe stealthy intrusions into the network to steal sensitive information -- ranked as the toughest problem, according to the survey, with 85 percent this year reporting this as an issue in comparison with 65 percent last year.

Al Hidd, Kingdom of Bahrain
A fund for promoting and supporting maritime education and training through scholarships to Bahraini students has been announced by the General Organisation of Sea Ports (GOP) as the second annual Bahrain Maritime Festival (BMF) kicked off. The proposal for establishing the Bahrain Maritime Education Fund was given the green light by GOP's Board of Directors the day before the opening of BMF 2011.
The Fund is being set up to provide scholarships and financial support to assist Bahraini nationals, selected through a fair and transparent process, for pursuing higher education and training. In setting up the Fund, the GOP realizes the importance of ensuring availability of well-educated and trained local manpower to help the Bahrain maritime sector to prosper and remain competitive in the global maritime community.
The launch of the Fund, which is expected to become operational by the beginning of next year, follows a detailed study that has laid out the structure, criteria, possible programmes and selection process for applicants. This initiative is part of a multi-pronged strategy devised by the GOP to enhance capacity-building and help promote the career potential of the maritime industry to preserve Bahrain's deep-rooted sea-based tradition.
Another important initiative that has reached fruition coinciding with the launch of BMF 2011 is the completion of the Seafarer's Centre, a project that was initially announced during the first annual BMF last year. The Seafarer's Centre, located at the Khalifa Bin Salman Port (KBSP), will be inaugurated on the 29th of September, 2011, and will provide a premises for the international seafarers calling at the port and office space to Bahrain International Seafarers Society (BISS). The new Centre will enable BISS to provide international seafarers various amenities, services and support for rest and relaxation.
Shaikh Daij bin Salman Al Khalifa, Chairman of GOP, said, "I have great pleasure in announcing these two major developments at GOP during the Bahrain Maritime Festival 2011. They are the culmination of much hard work, and both reflect the gradual implementation of our Strategic Plan 2011-2016."
Exemplifying GOP's commitment to further developing both the hard and soft infrastructure of Bahrain's maritime industry and ensuring that the Kingdom remains competitive on a global level, these two announcements set a positive tone for BMF 2011, which was inaugurated with an industry seminar entitled "Addressing Piracy". The topic reflects what has been much on the minds of industry insiders due to the steadily increasing threat of piracy on the global maritime, shipping and logistics industry. The seminar's topic was chosen to directly tie into the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) theme for World Maritime Day 2011: "Piracy: Orchestrating the Response".
The seminar saw more than 130 maritime industry professionals and stakeholders, with key international speakers visiting Bahrain specifically to address the audience. These speakers included Mr. Nick Charalambous, Head of Maritime Safety and Security Division, Department of Merchant Shipping, Republic of Cyprus;, Mr. Bent Nielsen, Managing Director of Maersk Tankers; Mr. Babak Jabbari, SVP of Projects and New Buildings and Head of Maritime Operations at SeaBird Exploration; Mr. Richard Davey, Director of Lambrook Services; Colonel Ala Abdulla Seyadi, Commander of the Bahrain Coast Guard; Commander Todd Offutt, United States Coast Guard - Officer-in-Charge, Maritime Liaison Office, (MARLO) Bahrain; and Captain Tony Neville Aldred, Director Operations Combined Maritime Forces, Royal Australian Navy.
The overall objective for the seminar was to help all stakeholders adopt a practical, comprehensive and sustainable strategy to address maritime security and best practices to counter piracy.
BMF was first conceptualized by the GOP in 2010, and follows a week-long festival format, with a full agenda of activities, all of which revolve around the IMO's theme or touch directly on the maritime industry. The BMF embodies the spirit of the IMO's World Maritime Day, which is a global annual IMO initiative, and aims to generate greater awareness for Bahrain's growing achievements and developments in the maritime industry and further positions Bahrain as a pioneer in the global maritime industry.
In addition to the "Addressing Piracy" seminar, the Bahrain Maritime Festival includes a photo exhibition that will showcase images taken by photo enthusiasts, as part of a photography competition entitled: "Reflection of the Two Seas". The competition challenged photographers to capture aspects of Bahrain's maritime life, industry or landscape. Submitted photos were reviewed by a panel of professional photographers, including Mr. Khalifa Shaheen, Mr. Ali Riffai and Ms. Loredana Montello, with the winning and shortlisted photographs exhibited in Seef Mall from the 26th of September through the 1st of October, 2011.
BMF 2011 also includes a youth-oriented educational program slated to begin today (27 September 2011), and to be rolled out over the course of the school-year to enable as many students as possible to attend. The programme, which is being implemented in strategic partnership with Tamkeen, aims to create awareness and generate interest in Bahrain's growing achievements and developments in the maritime industry among students, as well as to highlight the career potential of the maritime and shipping industry for interested students. The program will include an overview about the threat of piracy, an introduction to Bahrain's maritime capabilities and field visits to both the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard (ASRY) and the Khalifa Bin Salman Port (KBSP), where students can see the various facets of ports and shipping operations first-hand.
The final activity, the BMF Kids Carnival, will take place in the Bahrain City Center and will run from October 5th - 8th October, 2011. The Carnival will include a number of activities aimed at entertaining children of all ages, and will feature a range of maritime-themed activities.
"Last year, we launched the BMF as a pilot initiative to test the level of interest and I am very pleased to report that we received great feedback, spurring this year's event to be bigger and better," said Shaikh Daij, "Each year, we aim to have at least one business event, one educational event and one event for families to enjoy. Moreover, our outreach this year included a viral campaign to engage younger Bahrainis and we have been delighted with the response."
Multiple channels of communications were used to reach out to stakeholders this year, including social media, which was successful in grabbing the attention of both industry professionals and youth. Updates were regularly posted to the official Bahrain Maritime Festival Facebook page, as well as BMF's Twitter feed (@BMFBahrain), which helped engage and inform interested participants.
Major companies and media partners have come forward as sponsors to support and be a part of BMF 2011 activities to mark World Maritime Day. While the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard (ASRY) is BMF's strategic sponsor for BMF for the second consecutive year, Tamkeen is the strategic partner for the school visit as part of the festival's educational programme this year. This is in addition to Bahrain Flour Mills, Al Jazeera Shipping Co. W.L.L., Bahrain Polytechnic, GAC Bahrain, APM Terminals, and UCO Marines. Media partners include: Al Watan, Al Ayam, Al Bilad, Akhbar Al Khaleej, and Gulf Daily News. The support of these organisations indicates that the business of meetings, incentives, conferences and events (MICE) is very much active in Bahrain and that the maritime industry can contribute positively to this activity.
The United Nations (UN), via the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), initiated World Maritime Day to commemorate the international maritime industry's contribution towards the global economy, specifically in the shipping and logistics sectors. The GOP joins many countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States to observe World Maritime Day. The event's date varies by year and country but it is always celebrated during the last week of September.

On the other hand, the relative assessment being the key to the decision of the DPC in an activity in which the comparative merits of different candidates for promotion are made with full gravity and reflection, it will surely will be the right of every candidate to know as to how he stands assessed at the time of his consideration, with the understanding that this will enable him to represent on the basis of fact and not conjecture.
In light of the above, we must come to the conclusion that the relative assessment attached with the DPC cannot be held as exempt. This has become inevitable in consequence of the decision of the Supreme Court of India in Dev Dutt vs. U.O.I. (SLP No. 3114 of 2007) in light of which the earlier ruling of this Commission cited by CPIO cannot hold. Copies of the original relative assessment in the present case will, therefore, be provided to appellant

[1]A stronger-than-expected report on existing home sales combined with a steep drop in oil prices helped move the markets forward with at least a little conviction on Wednesday.
Housing starts and permits rose substantially[2] to an annual rate of 750,000 in August, up 29% from last year while sales of previously occupied homes climbed 7.8% from a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors.
While not all share the upbeat sentiment, homebuilders have become increasingly bullish — a confidence index from the National Association of Home Builders reached its highest level since June 2006.
Housing-related stocks moved higher after the existing home sales report. Homebuilders Lennar (NYSE:LEN[3]) and KB Home (NYSE:KBH[4]) gained over 2% on Wednesday, while home-improvement retailers Home Depot (NYSE:HD[5]) and Lowe's (NYSE:LOW[6]) both rose over 1%.
Meanwhile, oil prices fell more than 4% Wednesday to $91.25 a barrel, its lowest level since August, as Middle East fears eased and the latest U.S. government report showed a greater buildup in crude inventories than expected.
The net result was a broader rally, with the Dow rising 0.1% to 13,577, the S&P up 0.12% to 1,461 and the Nasdaq the big winner with a 0.15% gain to end at 3,182.
Shares of Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN[7]) rallied up more than 13% as the company announced a mobile payments platform to allow merchants to accept credit card payments[8] by using swipers on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[9]) iPhones or iPod Touches.
Earnings news drove much of the rest of the market. General Mills (NYSE:GIS[10]) rose 2% after reporting quarterly earnings of 66 cents per share[11] that just beat Street expectations. The company is also bringing back marketing icons[12] The Jolly Green Giant and the Cheerios Kid to boost its marketing efforts.
AutoZone (NYSE:AZO[13]) also reported better-than-expected earnings[14], though same-store sales fell below forecasts; AZO shares traded up more than 3% on the day.
Shares of restaurant chain Cracker Barrel (NASDAQ:CBRL[15]) soared more than 5% as the company announced strong earnings, raised its quarterly dividend 25%, announced a new $100 million share repurchase plan and provided analysts with positive forward guidance.
Thursday's earnings releases include Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL[16]), ConAgra (NYSE:CAG[17]), Rite-Aid (NYSE:RAD[18]), and CarMax (NYSE:KMX[19]).

I had a rhinoplasty four days ago and my right nostril stings for most of the day. When I wake up theres always a little blood coming out of the nostril. At night i can often feel it coming out of nose. It never drips though and it's more brown than red. Also whenever i gently clean it theres always a blood stain on the tissue. My nose leaks a lot of mucus as well as being incredibly blocked up my mucus at the moment also. Also, is a slight nudge on the nose whilst the cast is on do any damage?
4 Days Post Op, Right Nostril Still Stings. Blood, Non Dripping Also in Nostril Since Op and Hasnt Gone?
Doctor Answers 1
Normal Symptoms After Rhinoplasty
First, a small and gentle nudge at 4 days post-op should be fine as far as it is as light as it can possibly get.
Second, the stings felt on the right nostril, the light intermittent bleeding and the mucus secretion as described are pretty normal at 4 days after your rhinoplasty.
Therefore, I recommend that you keep your surgeon in the loop of your recovery process as you follow his/her instructions religiously while protecting your nose from possible traumas.
I hope this helps and thank you for your post.
The best of luck to you.

text: A sprain can have various effects on the body depending on the severity and location of the sprained joint. A sprain happens when a ligament is stretched too far or torn. Usually, this is caused when a joint is stressed and forced into an unnatural, painful position. The sprain may cause the joint to become painful, swollen, and bruised.

And Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. Did I not mention that?
I entirely forgot Ke$ha was still a thing, but apparently Glamour didn't because here she is talking to them about devouring men after she mates and/or making them wear giant cock costumes for her amusement. So basically she's a really, really shitty version of Lady GaGa who's a shitty version of Madonna. She's the square root of shit:
GLAMOUR: How big's the gap between Ke$ha in real life and Ke$ha onstage, drinking men's blood and dancing with a giant bouncing penis?
KE$HA: I'm just very amused by five-year-old humor. Don't get me wrong: I do destroy men on a weekly basis. It's like a hobby. I'm like a praying mantis. They f–k me, and then I eat them. But who isn't amused by a giant, dancing penis? Sometimes when I'm sad, I make my assistant put on the penis outfit and bounce around my house.
I'm not gonna lie if I had an assistant – Photo Boy doesn't count considering he's protected by the sexual harassment handbook because we work for Communist China. – I'm pretty sure I'd make he/she dress like a giant penis, too. Except I'd take it one step further and make the door to my office a giant vagina and then constantly call the police to report a door rape. "Oh, what? Just because it has brushed nickel knobs, that door was asking for it? And you call yourself a feminist, Sally. Take her away!"

Orson Welles: The Stories of His Life, by Peter Conrad (Faber, £9.99)
"Who would have dared to invent him?" Peter Conrad asks of his overwhelming subject. Orson Welles is minutely scrutinised through the medium of his many roles - even the projects that never made it past the cutting-room floor. A self-styled Renaissance man, Welles is revealed as a master of propaganda, a shaman who turned the implausible into reality. Rather than a straightforward biography, Conrad presents, in a series of absorbing critical essays, a kaleidoscopic view of Welles's astonishing range of personas from Faust to Falstaff. Wisely refraining from offering a glib explanation as to why the creator of Citizen Kane degenerated into a washed-up gravelly voice advertising dog food, Conrad concludes that "he lived the only way he could - ingeniously, recklessly and inconclusively". The result is a brilliant testament to the allure of ego, delivered with a panache worthy of the great fabulist himself. CT
Library: An Unquiet History, by Matthew Battles (Vintage, £8.99)
A librarian himself, Battles manages to convey the unique excitement of discovering obscure, long-forgotten titles, even if, as he readily admits, "most books are bad, very bad in fact. Worst of all, they're normal", which is why "we spend so much energy ferreting out the exceptional books". A library, he reminds us, is "a battleground of contesting ideologies", especially in wartime. In 1914, a rich collection of incunabula and medieval manuscripts was lost for ever when German troops destroyed the Louvain library in Belgium. In fact, the 20th century was one of the most biblioclastic of all, from Nazi book-burnings to the bombing by Serbs of the Bosnian National and University Library in 1992. Having pondered these disasters - as well as the loss of many ancient libraries, not least those of Alexandria - Battles is led to one devastating conclusion: "There is no library that does not ultimately disappear." IP
The Colonel: The Extraordinary Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley, by Alanna Nash (Aurum, £8.99)
For once the word "extraordinary" doesn't seem out of place. Ostensibly a grinning southern good ol' boy in a cowboy hat, Presley's Svengali turns out to have been a figure a novelist would struggle to invent. Born Andreas van Kuijik in Holland, he slipped into America illegally, possibly fleeing a murder rap. After joining and deserting the army - his military title was later bought from a Louisiana governor - he found his true métier as a carnival hustler, with a sideline promoting country singers, which led him to Elvis. Superbly researched, Nash's biography sees Parker's early years as informing his indifference to Presley's artistic development and mental wellbeing. Ever the insecure fairground con man, he locked his protégé into lucrative, but draining, movie deals and singing engagements that failed to stretch him - arguably, thereby, helping to destroy him. JD
Bette Davis, by Laura Moser, (Haus, £9.99)
Bette Davis epitomised the bona fide star of Hollywood's golden age. An undeniable monster both on- and off-screen, her life was a perpetual battle for control with the requisite pushy mother, four husbands, a neglected daughter and, above all, with Warner Brothers, whose draconian contracts enslaved box-office draws such as Davis in the years before actors became self-regulating. Less conventionally beautiful than her contemporaries, she sought roles in which she could transform herself: at her peak, no one could match her powerful intensity. Laura Moser's efficient, compact biography neatly delineates the legend's life and times; stereotyped in later years into playing "Hollywood's grande-dame ghoul", Davis's waspish partnering with hated rival Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane unravelled into a performance so grotesque it led her to admit that "sometimes I even outdid myself - and it hurt". CT
A History of Reading, by Steven Roger Fischer (Reaktion, £9.95)
This is a first-class account of an activity we largely take for granted. Fischer artfully keeps up the pace as he examines reading's many manifestations on stone, bark, tablet, scroll, book and computer screen. He reveals why reading in silence was revolutionary and explores the "delightful practice" of reading in bed. He explains how publishing became an industry and the book a mass-produced commodity. His analysis of the role of reading in religion is a model of its kind, in particular the veneration of the word among the Jews. Having celebrated the "magic" of reading - and paused to consider its neuro-psychological basis - he ends on a warning note: in the past decade "a disquieting homogenisation of world literature has occurred". US publishing is killing off local literatures and linguistic diversity, while the Harry Potter franchise signals the dystopian future of book publishing. We have been warned. IP
The Timewaster Letters, by Robin Cooper (Michael O'Mara, £9.99)
Aimed at the Christmas loo-book market, Cooper's comic offering is a re-run of William Donaldson's Henry Root Letters , but with trade bodies, obscure associations and small firms pestered by his fake persona, rather than the famous: sometimes a designer offering ludicrous ideas such as beef scarecrows or postmodernist mayoral maces, sometimes an enthusiast misinformed about an organisation's role. Touching testimony to the improbable survival of stoical British courtesy, the replies become less amiable or cease altogether only when follow-up letters are unmistakably deranged - and occasionally they continue even then. Despite jacket puffs from the likes of Ricky Gervais, the pranks are only fitfully successful, achieving their best results with oddly named societies such as the pottery-loving Friends of Blue (asked for a birthday message from the band). The editing should have been far more ruthless. JD

Were you a fan of SlamBall? In 2002 and 2003 did the names James "Champ" Willis and Sean "Inches" Jackson mean more to you then the names Kobe and Shaq? Well if this is so, we are jazzed to tell you that SlamBall is back!
This version of Slamball will be based more on that of a traditional league rather then the TV show type format it had in '02 and '03. The remix of SlamBall will be financed by IMG Global Media and its commissioner will be none other then former 76ers President Pat Croce, whose energetic personality is perfect for this type of venture. The "showcase" season as they are calling it will be taped in June, in hopes that as a result the league can sell eight franchises before 2009. With no other men's basketball on TV during the summer months this league might have a shot the second time around if they stick to their plan of having a more traditional league structure and do a good job in explaining the rules to new fans.
What network will SlamBall be on? That is a question that is very much in the air right now and they have no television partner as of yet. The vision behind part two of SlamBall is so strong that IMG President Sam Albrecht said they will air the showcase via the web if it comes to that. Being that SlamBall is no threat to the NBA could it be possible Mark Cuban might look into picking up SlamBall for his HDNet television network?
If you are looking for a shot at becoming a pro athlete, SlamBall might be your opportunity. Tryouts will be held in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Bradenton, FL. Good luck!

NEW PICS: Ashley Tisdale and Fiance Christopher French Playfully Pose at Their Engagement Party
Introducing the future Mr. and Mrs. French!
Ashley Tisdale and her rocker fiance Christopher French hosted an engagement party at Bagatelle restaurant in Los Angeles Nov. 14 with their family, friends and famous co-stars toasting the husband-and-wife to-be.
And Celebuzz has all the exclusive (and cute!) pics from inside the photo booth.
The blonde beauty's hubby-to-be wasn't the only one Tisdale was puckering up to… her former castmates got in on the action, too.
It was a Hellcats reunion with actors Robbie Jones, Matt Barr, Heather Hemmens, Sharon Leal and Paul Becker taking over the popular photo booth for a commemorative snapshot of the night.
And that wasn't the only special touch that made the night memorable.
Her High School Musical co-star Corbin Bleu said "cheese!" with his girlfriend actress Sasha Clements, while Tisdale's "flower girls" donned funny glasses and mustaches to strike the perfect pose.
"The restaurant was closed just for them and their friends and family," a source told CB! "There was an open bar and the DJ was great."
DJ Sean Patrick took over the turntables playing old disco to classic rock that everyone danced to all night, E! reported.
The couple, who got engaged atop the Empire State Building in August, also sipped on Mia Dolcea bubbly and nibbled on crab cakes, truffled chicken, mini steak baquettes, salmon tartare, mini fig tarts, and petite endive salad, and a cake adorned with couple's initials "C&A."
"Ashley and Christopher are so in love," said the source, adding they're planning on walking down the aisle sometime next year. "They're both so grounded."
The 28-year-old bride-to-be even Instragammed the night to remember alongside French, her friends, sister and mom: "Thanks to everyone who came out and celebrated with us," she wrote.
Take a look at all the exclusive inside pics in the CB! gallery above.

Making Beautiful Music Together
Corporate donations help SSISD music program that doesn't fiddle around when it comes to education
By TERRY MATHEWS | News-Telegram Arts Editor
Nov 18, 2007 - Who knew a Strings program and an energy company could create such beautiful music together?
The Sulphur Springs ISD's unique music project got a boost from ATMOS energy this week – in the form of two new violins.
�We have about 100 students this year,� said Terry Vosse, one of the Strings program�s teachers. �The kids have to share the violins, which presents a problem when it comes to taking them home for practice.�
Vosse, who teaches at Austin and Lamar elementary schools, as well as Sulphur Springs Middle School and High School, recently wrote a proposal to ATMOS outlining the need for more instruments.
�This program, which began in Houston Elementary School, is now district-wide,� Vosse wrote. �String classes take place twice a week in all four elementary schools, once a week in the city-wide fifth grade school and string class is a regular class period in our middle and high school.�
Along with support from the school district, the Strings program also got a boost from the Northeast Texas Symphony, which donated 10 violins to the cause at the very beginning of the program in the mid 1990s.
ATMOS must have liked Vosse's proposal because they underwrote the $600 cost for two violins, which included a nice case and a bow.
McKay Music arranged for the violins, according to Jeanette A. Moser, manager of public affairs for ATMOS.
�McKay gave us a great deal,� Moser said. �Chad Altenbaumer got the very best quality he could for the money, without earning a cent in profit.�
Vosse said that more two students will now be able to take their instruments home after school to practice.
�It is important to ATMOS to be good corporate citizens,� said Moser. �What really attracted us to this project was the partnership of the school district, McKay Music and the Northeast Texas Symphony. We like it when we can participate with as many groups as possible.�
�We choose the really responsible students to take the violins home,� Vosse explained. �We send them home with the ones who always practice and who can be trusted."
Nancy Reese began the school district's Strings program in February of 1995, teaching students at Houston Elementary School how to play the violin.
The benefits of the unique program go beyond simple music, however. It teaches many disciplines, and the use of fine motor skills relates to higher learning in life, experts say.
When the program was launched in 1995, for example, about 60 percent of music students who apply for medical school are accepted. The next closest group, math and science majors, have about a 50 percent acceptance rate.
Music and math have similar metering systems, as well. When students learn quarter-, half- and three-quarter notes, they're getting an extra lesson in mathematics.
There have also been studies linking music to the development of intelligence, as Dr. Juan Harrison, who was prinicipal of Houston Elementary School when the Strings program started, once noted.
"It's almost like a stimulant that develops that part of the brain that does the creative thinking," he said.
In fact, the first year after Houston school developed the program, standardized test scores went up enough to boost the campus ranking by Texas Education Agency from "Acceptable" to "Recognized."
�It�s important to us that students get a well-rounded education and arts is a big part of that education,� Moser said. �Maybe other corporations will get involved in this worthy project, too.��
The two new violins will make their public debut during a concert performed by middle and high school students at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, at Our Saviour Luthern Church, 1000 Texas St.
