text: I am a mother of a 4-month old baby girl. She is very adorable and charming. She smiles a lot like a doll. However, when I bring her out for a walk, people would see her as a boy. I'll say 3 out of 10 people thinks that she is a boy. My mum suggested to have my baby's ear pierced. Now I would like to know the appropriate age for babies to have their ears pierced. I am a little bit concerned that it might cause my baby some pain and it could be uncomfortable for her since her head is still lying on her sides during her sleep.

Gonna make you a star

Illustration: Simon Letch
If you've ever wondered how you sound and have thought about recording a CD, the solution is as close as your PC. With a microphone and backing soundtracks, you can record yourself singing along with the music or your favourite stars.
Get an editor
You will need software to record and mix your song. Commercial software can be expensive but there is a handy demo program called Cool Edit Pro. This program was recently bought from Syntrillium software by Adobe and rebadged as Adobe Audition. Demo versions of the original Cool Edit Pro v2.1 program can still be found at shareware sites. The demo has a 21-day limit but contains all the features you'll need. One place you can find the program is Softpedia.
Once you have downloaded and launched the program, choose File, Open and open a music file to sing along to. If you find opening a file does not work satisfactorily, try dragging and dropping the file from a Windows Explorer window into Cool Edit. When your file is open, you will see the waveform for the song in the window. Right click on the waveform and choose Select Entire Wave then right click again and choose Insert Into Multitrack.
Click the Switch to Multitrack view button at the top left of the window. You will now see multiple tracks on the screen with your song file already inserted as track 1. Track 2 is empty - this is where you will record your voice.
Record your singing
Configure your microphone and speakers so you can listen to the music through the speakers and sing into the microphone. Test that you can hear the music by pressing the Play button in the bottom left corner of the program window.
When you're ready to record, find the group of buttons to the left of track 2 and click R.
To start recording, click the red record button in the set of controls at the bottom left of the screen. When you're done, click the Stop button. You will see a wave form for your voice in track 2.
Click Play again to hear your voice track playing along with the music. To adjust the volume of either track, right click the track and choose Adjust Wave Block Volume and use the slider.
If you make a mistake, right click track 2, choose Remove Block and repeat the process.
Mixing the song
When you're happy with what you have recorded, choose Edit, Mix Down to Empty Track 3, All Waves to mix the two tracks. Check the sound by muting the original tracks and playing this new one to make sure the sound is acceptable. To mute a track, right click it and choose Mute Block.
If all is in order, delete tracks 1 and 2. Right click on Track 3 and choose Mix Down to File, All Waves and you can save your file. Because the demo program won't save more than the first 60 seconds of an MP3 file, save the file in a format that you can later convert to MP3 using your preferred software.
Special effects
Before you mix the tracks, you can add effects to your voice track. To do this, click the FX button and add effects from the lists to the track.
Now, moving away from song recording, here are some other useful applications:
Alt in Excel
When you're moving elements such as charts around an Excel worksheet, they may or may not snap to the nearest border, depending on whether you have Snap to Grid enabled. Holding the Alt key as you move the object temporarily reverses the Snap to Grid setting, giving you an additional set of placement options.
Click and scroll
Right click Internet Explorer's vertical scroll bar to pop up a menu for easier page navigation. Choose Top or Bottom to scroll quickly. When you right click a position on the scroll bar of a long page and click Scroll Here, you'll move to that position instantly.
AppleWorks font
To set your favourite font as the default, open the word processor and choose AppleWorks, Preferences, General. Set the Default Font and Default Size in the drop-down menus and click OK.
Reader tip
From Iolanda Grey of Glenhaven, NSW, comes this handy tip for renaming files.
"To quickly rename a file in Windows Explorer, click it and press F2. You can now type a new name to replace the existing one. The F2 shortcut also works inside Word or Excel, with the File, Open dialogue displayed. Remember to retain the file's extension when you rename it or you may render it useless."

BELTON — A Bell County jury will decide the fate of a woman accused of killing a man while driving drunk on U.S. Highway 190 in Nolanville last year.
Dana Beth Tackett, 30, of China Spring, pleaded guilty to one second-degree felony charge of intoxicated manslaughter and one third-degree felony charge of intoxicated assault with a vehicle in Bell County District court on Monday in connection with the July 10, 2013, death of 29-year-old Dante Fair.
Tackett's guilty plea meant the trial would go immediately to the sentencing phase, with the jury deciding her punishment after hearing the facts of the case.
According to police reports, Tackett was driving east in the westbound lane of the highway just after midnight July 10. Bell County prosecutor Mike Waldman played multiple 911 calls from drivers who witnessed Tackett's vehicle and the aftermath of the crash.
"(The speed limit) is 75 miles per hour, and someone going the wrong way could be devastating," said Keisha Murray, a former Nolanville police officer who responded to the scene of the accident that night.
Murray testified she heard the initial reports of Tackett's car driving the wrong way on the highway. She raced to get to the scene but was too late. Tackett's car collided head-on with an Acura.
Fair was sitting in the passenger side of the vehicle when the crash occurred and was severely injured, along with the vehicle's driver, Maoto Esau. Tackett, along with Fair and Esau, were taken to Scott & White Hospital in Temple, where Fair died from his injuries.
Esau suffered a severe laceration to his tongue, and Tackett suffered a fractured ankle and an injury to her knee.
Police drew a blood sample from Tackett. A Texas Department of Public Safety lab later showed her blood-alcohol level to be 0.20, more than twice the legal limit, the documents stated.
In his opening statement to jurors, Waldman said they would hear not only from police, emergency responders and medical experts, but from Fair's friends and family.
"What you will hear is how (Fair) left behind a loving family," Waldman said.
Tackett faces up to 20 years in prison on the intoxicated manslaughter charge and a maximum of 10 years in prison for intoxicated assault.
If the jurors find she used her vehicle as a deadly weapon, she would be required to serve at least 50 percent of her sentence before being eligible for parole.
Testimony will continue today.

Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - Australia is moving toward having the region's most advanced missile strike capability, but the plan has prompted concerns in a region where the country, a close U.S. ally, already is regarded warily by some critics.
Defense Minister Robert Hill announced that Canberra would buy air-to-surface cruise missiles with a range of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles), to be fitted to fighters as well as maritime surveillance aircraft.
Hill said in a statement the new weapon would provide the Australian Defense Force (ADF) with the ability to launch "accurate and lethal attack" against land and sea targets.
Once fitted with the new missiles, precision-guided bombs, and new air-to-air missiles, Australia's F/A-18 Hornet fighters "will be the region's most lethal capacity for air combat and strike operations," he added.
Canberra will evaluate and choose between three options -- Lockheed Martin's Joint Air-to-Surface Stand-off Missile (JASSM); Boeing's Stand-off Land Attack Missile -- Expanded Response (SLAM-ER); and the KEPD 350 precision-attack cruise missile, manufactured by a German-Swedish company called Taurus Systems.
Hill said the new missiles would be introduced into service between 2007-2009. Depending on which option is chosen, the missile could have a range four times greater than the longest Australia currently has, the AGM-142.
Derek Woolner, a visiting fellow at the Canberra based-Defense Studies Forum, told Australia radio the missiles would be the type needed in the event of Australians operating alongside American forces should hostilities erupt in Korea or the Taiwan Strait.
Prime Minister John Howard said he did not expect countries in Southeast Asia to be concerned about the missile purchase "because we don't have any hostile designs."
But although the Australian government said the plan was being discussed with regional governments, Indonesia was quick to question the need for Australia to strengthen its offensive capacity.
"We are talking here of an offensive capability, no longer defensive capability, and we have to ask ourselves against whom will these long-range cruise missiles be aimed," foreign ministry spokesman Marty Natalegawa told The Jakarta Post.
Indonesia and Malaysia have voiced suspicions of Canberra's intentions in recent years, as Australia under Howard has drawn closer to Washington.
In 2002, the two Muslim countries reacted sharply when Howard said in an interview that he would be willing to order military strikes, if necessary, to pre-empt terrorist attacks being planned in the region against Australia.
Comments from Malaysia were especially acerbic, with former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad accusing Australia of acting in the role of regional "deputy sheriff" to the U.S.
Since Mahathir retired late last year Australia-Malaysia ties have begun to thaw, but regional sensitivities remain. Indonesia last January condemned Canberra's plans to cooperate with the U.S. ballistic missile defense system, saying it would undermine regional stability.
Hill told reporters that Australia's neighbors, including Indonesia, were also building up their military capabilities, and so expected Australia to do so too.
Hornet fighters, which can be refueled in midair, are designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. The aircraft are used by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, and by the air forces of at least seven other nations, including Australia and Malaysia.
The missile plan is seen as an essential step in ensuring Australian defense capacity in the years ahead, with current fighter plans nearing the end of the service lives.
The ADF is planning to phase out its fleet of ageing F-111 fighter bombers in five or six years' time (the U.S. Air Force retired its F-111s in 1998.)
Although old, the F-111 -- affectionately known in Australia as The Pig - has long-range strike capabilities far beyond those of the Hornet.
Between the time of the F-111 phase-out and the arrival several years later of a new aircraft, the radar-evading Joint Strike Fighter, the Hornets will have to fill the gap, hence the missile upgrading.
The Hornets are themselves also due to be phased out, with a target date of 2012-2015.

Correlating Rational Publishing Engine and Rational DOORS versions for Bidi support of Hebrew and Arabic languages
Technote (FAQ)
Which versions of Rational Publishing Engine and Rational DOORS must be installed to get latest enhacements in bidirectional (Bidi) support for Arabic and Hebrew languages?
Several enhancements were developed in Bidi support. Those enhancements require version synchronization between Rational Publishing Engine and Rational DOORS products.
In latest versions of Rational DOORS (9.5) and Rational Publishing Engine (1.2), Bidi support enhancements were implemented. In Rational Publishing Engine, those enhancements allow proper display of Bidi text in Microsoft Word based reports. Both text with natural left-to-right base text direction (such as English) and text with natural right-to-left base text direction (such as Hebrew) are now adequately shown in Microsoft Word based report.
For those features to work properly, take note of these details:
- Only deployment environments in which both Rational DOORS 9.5 or later and Rational Publishing Engine 1.2 or later are installed new enactments are available.
- Only the stand-alone version of Rational Publishing Engine supports these enhancements; Rational Reporting for Document Generation (RRDG) packaged with Rational DOORS does not support these enhancements because Rational DOORS 9.5 is not packaged with RRDG 1.2.

The description of Tippy makes me laugh, because my Bailey does that too. She's got a spine issue, so sometimes when I am trying to give her a treat, she stands on her hind legs and if I move to far over past her nose when I'm bending down to give it to her, she'll fall backward.
How long have you been fostering?
WELCOME qzobevmama! I haven't reposted this month's drawing yet, but it is the same as last month as so you are absolutely included in the drawing (as it will include all post in the month of September) GOOD LUCK!!
We are lucky to have you here! I too volunteer at a rabbit rescue, and I realized I'm not cut out to Foster. My first foster became my adopted bunny Jack. And I realized I fall in love too fast. So I keep my volunteer work AT the shelter.
What touching endearing stories. You are wonderful to be able to do what you do! I bet your a rabbit expert now and you have a lot to offer here. So again, welcome!!
Oh, how sweet. Every once in a while, at the rabbit shelter I volunteer for, we get a cuddly bun. Most of the time rabbits are not fond of being held, and so, of course, we respect that, (unless we have to clip nails etc) but we can't help but just swoon when we get a bunny in that actually loves to be snuggled in our arms. Such joy!
P.S/Binky bunny Jack is adoreable!

A few days after the Green Bay Packers filled their socks in the final 5 minutes of the NFC Championship game, I wrote about how the Packers won't...
The Packers quarterback threw 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions in November.
The Green Bay Packers have become the odds on favorites to win the NFC Conference following their win over the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday,...
Rodgers earned the honor for the second time during the 2014 season.
For the Packers to go into Soldier Field and raise the Halas Trophy, they'll have to expunge all of the demons that have followed them since week 3.
The Atlanta Falcons are sick and tired of hearing about how the Packers are going to waltz into Atlanta and win handily. They'd like to remind you that they're the #1 seed, they won the FIRST time, and they're going to do it again.
We'll find out on Sunday whether four months of game film was enough for Dom Capers to crack the secret to the Michael Vick-led Eagles offense.
In the year's last "easy" game, the Packers face the Lions, who'd love nothing more than spoil the Packers season and break their 19-game division loss streak.
Last year, the Packers got torched by savvy quarterbacks. Against Atlanta's Matt Ryan, Dom Capers has a chance to prove he's gotten that "cleaned up."
What comes AFTER that emotional release that comes with finally, finally, getting a win over Brett Favre? Potentially, a really good football game.
The Washington Redskins love nothing more than to play the spoiler. Can they pull off the upset...and incite panic in Green Bay?
I keep saying that "these aren't last year's Detroit Lions," and I believe it...when everyone's healthy. Injuries are dooming the Lions early this year.

Going Very Lean with Remote Control Nesting
Take a look at how Liebert Corporation coordinates and drives 19 punch/shear machine tools across four different plants by coupling remote control processing technology with advanced CADCAM and nesting software from JETCAM.
Talk about lean. This sheet metal fabricator coordinates and manages the production operations of 19 punch/shear machine tools across four separate plant sites by coupling remote control processing with high performance nesting technology.
Liebert Corporation (Columbus, OH), a division of Emerson Electric, manufactures air and power conditioning for computers and server rooms. When they purchased their first Finn-Power Shear Genius punch/shear back in 1997, the machine tool was offered with Expert software from JETCAM International s.a.r.l. (Monaco) by the vendor.
Alan Mauerman, a senior manufacturing engineer with Liebert, explains, "The previous CAM software we were using back then was simply not designed to support right angle shearing and was barely acceptable for creating basic X and Y G-code for machines like our stand-alone Amada turret punch press. It was slow to use, often displaying unexplained errors, and it suffered from problems importing DXF files. The software that was supplied on the Finn-Power machines was a great combination because it greatly reduced our training time. We could make a nest and see our results quickly."
Since moving to the new software, the company has aggressively expanded and upgraded its CNC machinery across several plants. The Columbus shop now boasts six Shear Genius punch/shears that use mainly CNC turret punches, with one integrated punch/laser combination machine. All of these punch/shears use material loading robots, with most also benefiting from right angle shear and one tied to an Express Bender machine.
That's not all. JETCAM software now drives all of the punch/shears in other Liebert facilities, including two machines located in the Delaware, Ohio plant; five more in the Ironton, Ohio shop and four punch/shears along with two stand-alone punch presses in the Mexicali plant in Mexico.
CAD import routines in the previous software had been a problem earlier, but now automatic 'healing' routines are used to ensure that any 'dirty' files can be automatically healed using pre-defined parameters. Complete directories of CAD files can be healed, imported and tooled automatically using JETCAM SCAP (Single Component Automatic Processing) and are then immediately ready for nesting.
Moving forward, Liebert has seen ongoing staff benefits through ease of use with the new software. A number of new users had extensive shop floor knowledge, but little computer experience. However, in under a week they were confident and capable of producing highly optimized nests. Mauerman notes, "This software easy to use because there are only a few keystrokes required for each step and what you see on the screen is what happens at the machine. There are no surprises."
As the price of material continues to rise, Liebert has empowered the shop to deliver further savings in this area. The company purchased a JETCAM high performance nesting module that delivered between 5 percent and 13 percent savings on materials by continuing to try different nest patterns over a specified size range. The software also includes utilities such as common line cutting and remnant sheet management that allow every possible square inch of material to be used or saved for reuse where possible.
Although the firm provides interaction at every level, Liebert was looking to automate the system as much as possible. In 2010 they investigated automating methods for analyzing optimal sheet metal material sizes. Mauerman recalls, "It took weeks to analyze even a small number of possibilities, and we simply could not analyze all of the parts for a particular material type and gage. We realized that we needed an automated method to achieve better material utilization, so we talked to JETCAM to see if they could create a solution."
The company developed a separate application that utilized its RCP (Remote Control Processing) system to compare previous sheet sizes versus several options for new sizes. It uses the component file for each part, monthly part usage and current sheet dimensions. Other information such as material cost, part spacing, trim width, sheet increments and minimum/maximum size ranges were also selected. RCP then automatically nests each part on all of the different sheet sizes, which takes on average three seconds per nest.
A spreadsheet is then generated that compares the current cost and provides three recommended sizes based on the best weighted average material cost savings. "I've used RCP to analyze over 15,000 combinations of sheet sizes for just one material type," adds Mauerman. "I simply could not have done that manually."
Liebert has now been using JETCAM for over 15 years, spanning their four locations in North America and covering many types and models of NC punching equipment. Mauerman concludes, "In the past our sheet utilization was around 68-72 percent, but now – by coupling the RCP method with high performance nesting – we have seen increases up to 13 percent that has resulted in many thousands of dollars being saved. And we are just getting started. With this software we know we will have the capability and will be able to benefit from it no matter what metal fabrication equipment we have."

Earnings estimates have been soaring for Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL). The company delivered better-than-expected Q1 results in April and has reported solid traffic numbers for both May and June.
The stock has pulled back a bit as oil prices have risen due to turmoil in Iraq. But the valuation picture looks reasonable with shares now trading at less than 12x forward earnings.
Delta Air Lines offers service to 333 destinations in 64 countries on six continents. It operates a mainline fleet of more than 700 aircraft and serves nearly 165 million customers each year. The company is headquartered in Atlanta.
First Quarter Results
Delta Airlines reported better-than-expected first quarter results on April 23. Adjusted EPS came in at 33 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4 cents. This was in spite of terrible weather in the quarter.
Operating revenue rose 5% year-over-year to $8.916 billion, ahead of the consensus of $8.895 billion. This was driven by a 9% increase in domestic passenger revenue and an 18% increase in Latin American revenue.
Meanwhile, total operating expenses were flat year-over-year as adjusted total fuel expense declined 6%.
Delta Air Lines also generated $390 million in free cash flow in the quarter. The solid cash flow allowed the company to increase its dividend by 50% and announce a new $2 billion share repurchase authorization in May.
Second Quarter Shaping Up Well
The positive momentum from Q1 appears to be continuing into Q2. Delta Air Lines has reported solid passenger unit revenue for both May and June, with increases of 6% and 7%, respectively. The company also expects Q2 adjusted fuel price per gallon of $2.93-$2.98. It was $3.03 in Q1.
Estimates Soaring
Given the strong Q1 results and encouraging May and June statistics, analysts have revised their estimates significantly higher for Delta Air Lines. This has sent the stock to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2014 is now $3.11, up from $2.58 ninety days ago. The 2015 consensus has increased from $3.03 to $3.62 over the same period. You can see this sharp increase in the company's "Price & Consensus" chart:
Delta Air Lines is not the only airline seeing positive earnings estimate revisions. In fact, the "Transportation - Airline" industry ranks in the top 11% of all industries by Zacks based on earnings momentum.
Reasonable Valuation
Shares of Delta Air Lines have soared more than 40% year-to-date, but the stock has pulled back a bit over the last week or so. This is most likely due to rising oil prices thanks to turmoil in Iraq.
But if oil prices don't skyrocket from here, the valuation picture looks reasonable for Delta Air Lines. The stock currently trades at less than 12x 12-month forward earnings and less than 3x book value.
The Bottom Line
With strong earnings momentum and reasonable valuation, Delta Air Lines has a lot of potential to fly even higher this year, provided that oil prices don't fly higher themselves.

Cochet, Prost Grand Prix Formula 1 test driver, won the Formula 3 World Cup in Korea.
By winning last weekend's event in Korea, and after having been close to set an astonishing performance in the same event in Macao a week earlier, Jonathan COCHET, the young PROST GRAND-PRIX test driver, is ultimately proving that he has all the makings of a future Formula 1 driver.
After winning in 2000 the international races of Pau (Eurocup), Zandvoort (F3 Marlboro Masters) as well as the French Formula 3 championship, this latest victory, in front of the international elite of young drivers, completes Jonathan's unique list of achievements in motorsports.
The young French driver, who had his first taste of Formula One in 2001 thanks to Alain PROST who chose him as official test driver, confirms that he is more than ever the most reliable young driver of his generation.
Jonathan Cochet:
"I am extremely happy to have won this international race, after having achieved the pole position as well the best lap on this track. Winning there the way I did, and in front of the best among the young drivers of my generation - most of whom already integrated F1 - was the best way for me to show my skills to drive a single-seater. This victory is even more important as it happens in a particular moment of PROST GRAND-PRIX' history. And I am proud to dedicate this success to Alain PROST, who has shown his total confidence in my talent by electing me as his Formula One team's test driver this season."
Alain Prost:
" « Jonathan's latest success makes me feel extremely happy and proud for him. This shows how much we were right in trusting him by making him a part of Prost Grand Prix' challenge. It is now clear that he carries the hopes of French motorsports alongside us.
This victory should without any doubt rise a lot of interest from all professionals, sponsors as well as from the public towards this young prodige, as the French public is more than ever in the wait of the French talent's rebirth in F1 racing.

Beirut, Lebanon (UPI) Dec 13, 2012
The Assad regime's broadside of Soviet-era Scud ballistic missile against rebel forces marks a major escalation in Syria's 20-month-old civil war and could be a warning to Western powers not to intervene.
Syrian President Bashar Assad's military fired at least six Scud-type weapons this week from the An Nasiriyah airbase near Damascus , targeting the Sheik Suleiman military base outside the northern city of Aleppo, which rebel forces had captured, U.S. officials reported.
The missile launches were reported Wednesday. They were detected by U.S. surveillance satellites used to monitor the fighting.
Rebel forces have taken large areas of the north, bordering Turkey, and the oil-rich east, as well as part of Damascus from which regime forces have not been able to dislodge them despite air strikes and heavy counterattacks on the ground.
One report indicated that the weapons fired were probably North Korean-built Hwasong-6 missiles, an advanced variant of the Soviet-made Scud. It's carries a guidance system and a warhead of around 1,800 pounds of high explosive.
But Scuds are notoriously inaccurate. They were designed as "area weapons," meaning they are most effective when fired in large numbers as large targets like troop concentrations or population centers rather than individual targets.
"There seems to be something spectacularly pointless about lobbing conventionally armed and inaccurate missiles in the hope of quelling a nationwide insurgency," observed British analyst Shashank Joshi of London's Royal United Services Institute.
But he noted: "Intentionally irrational acts may be intended to send the message that intervention could incur heavy costs, particularly with Western allies like Turkey, Jordan and Israel within range of Syrian chemical-armed missiles.
"Missiles are deterrents and actually firing them ... tends to concentrate the mind in Western capitals."
If Assad's generals had sought to take out particular installations or buildings in Aleppo, airstrikes would probably have been more effective. So it would seem the regime's intention was "shock and awe" to terrify its enemies and cause as many casualties and much destruction as possible.
Oddly, there was no indication from the Free Syrian Army and other rebel forces around Aleppo concerning the missile attacks or their effects.
U.S. officials said there was no sign the Scuds were armed with chemical weapons, the use of which would have caused an outcry in the West and the Arab world. That would have provided Assad's enemies with a pretext to intervene militarily in a bid to end the bloodbath in which around 40,000 people are reported to have been killed since the uprising against Assad began March 15, 2011.
The Americans and their allies have warned Assad that using Syria's considerable arsenal of chemical weapons and nerve agents against the rebels and their supporters would be a red line he would cross at his peril.
But even though the regime appears to have used conventional warheads this time, its use of missiles could have been an act of defiance to show the Americans it won't be intimidated.
The Syrian broadside was unleashed after the United States and a coalition of more than 100 other countries formally recognized the Syrian, mainly Sunni Muslim, opposition.
That bestowed upon it an international legitimacy it has long sought in its struggle to bring down the regime dominated by minority Alawites.
The missile strikes also came after senior officials in Russia, one of the regime's key allies, acknowledged that the regime could fall and that it had drawn up plans to evacuate Russian citizens.
That fell far short of any move to abandon Assad as his long-fractious enemies made military and political gains after setting aside their differences to form a more cohesive and effective opposition front at the constant urging of the Americans and others.
But it was one more setback for Assad and his inner circle and could indicate a growing sense of despair in the regime.
It's not clear whether Assad will unleash further missile strikes. Much will depend on what kind of damage the Scuds caused in the north.
Syria has several hundred Scud variants and other surface-to-surface missiles, mainly of Soviet and Russian origin.
It also manufactures Scuds and other weapons at its two main production centers at Aleppo and Homs in underground facilities built with Chinese, North Korean and Iranian help.
Scuds: mobile missiles that sow terror
The Soviet-designed missiles can carry a warhead of up to 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) but, owing to their relative inaccuracy, have more often been used to sow terror in cities than to scatter armies in the field.
The missiles can be equipped with conventional, chemical or nuclear warheads and their arrival on the battlefield will increase fears that Bashar al-Assad's increasingly beleaguered regime could turn to desperate measures.
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein famously lobbed dozens of the relatively unsophisticated Scuds at Israel and Saudi Arabia during the 1990-91 Gulf War as US-led troops expelled his forces from Kuwait, but he caused few casualties.
Allied aircraft -- along with US and British special forces on the ground -- struggled to take out Saddam's mobile Scuds, which were hidden in gullies and culverts and quickly shifted out of sight after night launches.
The Scud missile was originally developed by the Soviet Union in the 1950s with help from captured German scientists, and was based on the Nazi V-2 rocket fired on London during World War II, according to Jane's Defense Review.
Other countries, including North Korea, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Syria are believed to developed their own versions of the ballistic missile -- which can be transported by and fired from trucks -- after the end of the Cold War.
The rockets were first used in combat during the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, and during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s both sides rained Scud missiles down on civilian targets in the so-called "War of the Cities."
Smaller numbers were used during wars in Afghanistan, Yemen and Chechnya in the 1990s, and Libyan strongman Moamer Kadhafi's forces fired at least two Scud missiles last year during the NATO-backed rebellion that overthrew him.
Scud-type missiles are usually about 11 meters (yards) long and have a range of roughly 300 kilometers (186 miles), though some versions can strike beyond 500 kilometers. However, they lack the accuracy of so-called smart bombs.
North Korea is believed to have developed more modern versions of the Soviet Scud missile and to have exported hundreds of the so-called Scud-C and Scud-D rockets to the Middle East and Africa.
Syria is believed to possess the so-called Scud-D or Hwasong-7, the latest North Korean model, which carries a smaller payload of 500 kilograms but can travel farther, up to 800 kilometers, according to Jane's.
The Scuds would be of little use troops battling rebels in the streets of major cities like Damascus or Aleppo, but could be used to target military bases seized by rebels or to sow panic in towns or neighborhoods.

Endometrial Cancer: Recent Developments in Evaluation and Treatment
Endometrial Cancer: Recent Developments in Evaluation and Treatment
In the United States, an estimated 37,400 women
will develop uterine cancer in 1999 and an estimated 6,400 women will
die of the disease.[1] The incidence of this cancer varies throughout
the world, with more women in industrialized countries being
afflicted. Carcinoma of the endometrium is the most common
gynecologic malignancy among US women, who have a lifetime risk of
developing the disease of approximately 2%.
Fortunately, the majority of cases of endometrial cancer are
diagnosed at an early stage, when surgery alone may be adequate for
cure. The rate of 5-year survival for women with stage I endometrial
cancer is as high as 95%; however, the 5-year survival rate for women
with stage III or IV disease is only 26%.[2]
Great strides have been made in our understanding of endometrial
cancer over the past decade. The etiologic role of estrogen
therapies, including the use of hormone replacement and tamoxifen
(Nolvadex), has been the focus of several studies. The protective
benefits of oral contraceptive pills and progestin therapies have
been well established. Surgical staging can be tailored to the
individual patient, both by using the laparoscope to minimize
surgical morbidity and by modifying the extent of tissue sampling
based on histopathologic risk. For advanced or recurrent disease,
more active chemotherapeutic agents are available as well, with many
ongoing clinical trials.
Risk Factors
Unopposed Estrogens
Most of the risk factors for endometrial carcinoma are associated
with increased estrogen exposure, either exogenous or endogenous.
Examples of increased exogenous exposure include the use of estrogen
replacement therapy or tamoxifen, while increased endogenous estrogen
exposure may stem from obesity, anovulatory cycles, and
estrogen-secreting tumors (Table 1).[3-5]
Obesity and infertility are significant risk factors for the
development of this cancer. Excessive adipose tissue is a site of
conversion of androstenedione to estrone, as well as aromatization of
androgens to estradiol. Nulliparity, by itself, probably does not
increase the risk of endometrial cancer, but rather, the association
lies with anovulatory cycles and the lack of a progestin effect
during the luteal phase.
With respect to exogenous estrogen exposure, the risk of endometrial
cancer is increased in women using combination hormone therapy, even
when cyclical progestin therapy is added to an estrogen. In a
case-control study, Beresford et al found that women taking unopposed
estrogens had a relative risk of endometrial cancer of 4.0 (95%
confidence interval [CI], 3.1 to 5.1).[6] In women who took more than
5 years of hormone therapy that included a progestin for less than 10
days per month, the relative risk of endometrial cancer was 4.8 (95%
CI, 2.0 to 11.4). Women who used hormone therapy with a progestin for
10 to 21 days per month had a relative risk of 2.7 (95% CI, 1.2 to 6.0).
This study is limited by its retrospective case-control design, which
relies on patient recall. However, it suggests the need for
additional investigation.
The use of oral contraceptives has consistently been shown to
decrease the risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer. The Cancer and
Steroid Hormone (CASH) study demonstrated that women using
combination oral contraceptives for at least 12 months had a 0.6 (95%
CI, 0.3 to 0.9) relative risk of endometrial cancer, as compared with
those who had never used oral contraceptives.[7] The protective
effects of oral contraceptives were found to persist even 15 years
after their use ceased.
Current low-dose oral contraceptives prevent pregnancy primarily
through a progestin effect. Similarly, the benefits of oral
contraceptives in reducing endometrial cancer risk are also likely
related to the effects of progestin in suppressing endometrial proliferation.
Family history also contributes to the risk of endometrial cancer. In
women with the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)
syndrome, endometrial cancer is the second most common malignancy,
with an incidence of 20% to 40%.[8] A site-specific endometrial
cancer syndrome also has been suggested from pedigree analysis and
population-based studies.[9]
As the most commonly diagnosed cancer among US women, breast cancer
has a far greater impact than endometrial cancer, the most common
gynecologic malignancy. Tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal estrogen with
antiestrogenic activity, is commonly used in the adjuvant treatment
of women with breast cancer and as therapy for recurrent disease.
Tamoxifen also recently received FDA approval for use in reducing the
risk of breast cancer in high-risk women. The divergent activity of
tamoxifen in different tissues is well recognized; it suppresses the
growth of breast tissue (ie, acts as an estrogen antagonist) but
stimulates the endometrial lining (ie, has estrogen-agonistic effects).
Both the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP)
and the Stockholm Breast Cancer Study Group identified an increased
risk for endometrial cancer among breast cancer patients treated with
tamoxifen.[10,11] In one retrospective, case-control study from the
Netherlands, use of tamoxifen for more than 2 years was associated
with a 2.3-fold increased risk of endometrial cancer.[12] Conversely,
another case-control study from Japan, which controlled for the total
dose of tamoxifen exposure, did not find a significant increase in
the incidence of subsequent endometrial cancer.[13] The consensus of
most studies, however, is that there is a two- to threefold increased
risk of endometrial cancer attributable to tamoxifen.[5] Despite
initial reports, more recent studies do not confirm that tamoxifen
use is associated with high-risk histology endometrial cancers.[11,14,15]
In tamoxifen-treated postmenopausal breast cancer patients,
endometrial polyps are a common histopathologic finding. Lahti et al
compared 51 postmenopausal women with breast cancer treated with
tamoxifen (20 to 40 mg/d) for a median duration of 30 months to 52
breast cancer patients who were not treated with tamoxifen.[16]
Endometrial thickening was markedly increased in the
tamoxifen-treated women compared with the controls (mean thickness,
10.4 vs 4.2 mm), and polyps also occurred more frequently in the
tamoxifen recipients (36% vs 10%).
Similarly, Kedar et al performed a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled trial in which 51 of 111 postmenopausal women with
breast cancer were treated with tamoxifen (20 mg/d) for a median
duration of 22 months.[17] Again, greater endometrial thickening and
more endometrial polyps were seen in the women randomized to
tamoxifen. In addition, a proliferative process was noted in the
endometrium of 90% of the tamoxifen-treated patients, as compared
with 39% of the placebo-treated patients.
Endometrial cystic atrophy may also be a common process related to
the estrogenic effect of tamoxifen that is not readily detected by
curettage but is only diagnosed in patients undergoing
hysterectomy.[18] In a cohort of 35 tamoxifen-treated postmenopausal
women, endometrial polyps were found in 66% of patients. Endometrial
cystic atrophy was noted in 9 of 11 patients who underwent
hysterectomy, as compared with only 1 of 24 patients who underwent
hysteroscopy and curettage.
Cystic atrophy may not always develop at the surface of the
endometrium but may be present deeper within the uterine wall and,
thus, still produce endometrial thickening on pelvic ultrasound.
Sonohysterography may be helpful in differentiating between polyps
and endometrial cystic atrophy in women with a thickened endometrium
(see Presentation and Diagnostic Evaluation below).
In 1996, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
(ACOG) issued a committee opinion regarding the role of tamoxifen in
endometrial cancer.[5] The committee concluded that although
tamoxifen is associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer,
the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks.
Although routine screening for endometrial cancer is not recommended
for patients taking tamoxifen, many patients are being screened.
Certainly, any abnormal bleeding or spotting should be investigated.
Because of the high incidence of cystic atrophy, pelvic ultrasound
may lead to false-positive results. Rather, endometrial biopsy is a
more specific evaluation that may be combined with sonohysterography.

Poor Matt Lauer and Al Roker: they spent November growing out beards on NBC for "Movember," to promote men's health, but the British magazine New Statesman has announced "Movember is divisive, gender normative, racist and ineffective against some very real health issues."
RedState's Erick Erickson tweeted "You cannot parody the left. You just can't. You may think it is parody, but damned if they don't one up you." Apparently moustaches are for minorities:
So what message does Movember convey to those whose moustaches are more-or-less permanent features? With large numbers of minority-ethnic men—for instance Kurds, Indians, Mexicans—sporting moustaches as a cultural or religious signifier, Movember reinforces the "othering" of "foreigners" by the generally clean-shaven, white majority. Imagine a charity event that required its participants to wear dreadlocks or a sari for one month to raise funds—it would rightly be seen as unforgivably racist.
Arianne Shahvisi writes it's also unfair to "trans men" who can't grow moustaches well:
Further, the inclusivity of Movember deserves examination. For one, only men (and even then, only some men) can grow a moustache. The decision to focus on the moustache to raise awareness of men's health issues might seem like an apposite one (though there's no obvious relationship between moustaches and cancers), but it reinforces the regressive idea that masculinity is about body chemistry rather than gender identity, and marginalises groups of men who may struggle to grow facial hair, such as trans-men.
She concludes:
One of the Movember mantras is: "Real men, growing real moustaches, talking about real issues". The slogan is as misguided as its campaign: Movember is divisive and gender normative, not least because it centres on the notion that there is such a thing as a "real" man; it is racist, inasmuch as it steamrollers over the cultural significance of the moustache (and thereby ignores what the campaign means for the men who really have moustaches); and it is non-optimal, because it does not tackle—in fact it only compounds—the very real health issues that hurt the men we love.


text: Sandrine Petit has a doctorate in geography from the University of Orléans in France, has conducted research in Burkina Faso with IRD, CIRAD and CIRDES, explored agroforestry practices in the Caribbean Islands and Indonesia, and is presently undertaking postdoctoral research in the School of Geography, Nottingham in the UK. Her PhD research concerned "Environment, herding practices, and use of trees by Fulbe agropastoralists in West Burkina Faso. Comparative and systematic study of three situations: Barani, Kourouma and Ouangolodougou". This research explored two aspects of pastoral practices: the factors (ecological, technical and social) which determined the daily range paths of cattle, and how herders chose these paths and how they influenced cattle grazing; and, on the other hand, the uses of tree foliage as fodder and how it induced a different strategy of guarding cattle. The impact of grazing on savanna dynamics and the impact of pollarding on trees were also investigated. The thesis has made an original contribution to scientific debates about pastoralism: the impact of pastoralistsimmigration on savanna dynamics; the relation of pastoralists to the environment (are they conservationists or not?); peasants-herders conflicts about land and resources and the integration of livestock raising and farming in savannah production systems.

Project DescriptionIn 2005 the City of Everett acquired property adjacent to the Everett Performing Arts Center, including an existing bank building that was built in 1962. The bank building was a classic example of midcentury modern architecture and had recently been designated a historic structure by the city's historic preservation commission. Village Theater administrates the Everett Performing Arts Center and in 2010 decided to lease the bank building to turn it into their youth education center. At the same time, the city decided to convert a parking lot between the performing arts center and the proposed youth education center into a city center plaza.
Working concurrently with the landscape architect for the plaza design, the existing bank building renovation was designed to not only accommodate functions for the youth education center, but to also relate to the new plaza as well. The plaza was designed as a link between the two performing arts buildings and acts as an arts oriented public space, accommodating up to 200 people for outdoor performances.
The program for the youth education center included: a black box theater that could be used as an open classroom or as a fixed seat performance venue, an entrance foyer relating to the new public plaza, a bistro to serve the audience members between shows as well as people using the plaza, classrooms and administrative offices for the youth education management.
The existing bank building had a double height banking room and a mezzanine for its offices. The design strategy for the theater was to place the black box theater in the main banking room space and the administrative offices on the mezzanine level. Additional classrooms and the green room were placed in the basement.
The shell of the existing building was preserved and updated to accommodate current seismic and energy codes. The existing exterior tile cladding as well as the roof system were left in place at the request of the historic commission. The interior was gutted and retrofitted to accommodate a state of the art theater. To keep costs down, ceilings were left exposed throughout the structure as was much of the new electrical and mechanical systems.
The new entry off the plaza is defined by a new signage structure that also acts as a way to identify prominent donors to the Kidstage program. The major donors were in the airplane manufacturing business so the signage structure was designed with references to that industry. The theater has since been named in their honor. The donor recognition wall is made up of colored glass discs with the donors names etched in them. The perforations also relates to a colorful reflective glass mosaic wall designed by a prominent Seattle artist.
The project was designed with sustainability in mind. As much of the existing structure as possible was reused to reduce waste. Energy efficient upgrades were made to the mechanical systems. The renovation received a LEED Silver certification for interior renovation. This project earned a NWAIA Merit Award for 2016.

Are we not, think ye, just as much at war with glencoe now as then?
Having paid their bills, Jack and his new friend, Farney, saddled up their ponies and took the road for glencoe.

John Palmieri, 61, took over as executive director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority one year ago — just months after the state agency took control of planning and development in the Atlantic City Tourism District. The Hoboken, Hudson County, native said he wanted to return to New Jersey because he saw the city's challenges, as well as opportunities to overcome them.
Q: You've been the head of the CRDA for a year now. What do you consider to be the agency's most significant advancements of the past year, and why?
A: I must say the approval of the master plan. When I came here last October, just under a year ago, the authority had been given a direction by statute to have a master plan prepared by February of 2012. We worked very quickly to consult with the neighborhood and the business community and the elected leaders of this city to prepare the plan. We had a very aggressive schedule … but we were required by law to get it done. We did a terrific job.
Q: How closely do you plan to stick to what is laid out in the master plan?
A: It is a plan, and plans are supposed to provide guidance. This document most certainly will. We focused on the important things that we were going to be doing right away. The plan identifies mid-term and longer-term opportunities — as a good plan should. We're looking at 10 years or more. One of the things we agreed we needed to do with kind of an aggressive point of view was identify the short-term initiatives.
Gov. Christie very clearly, when he and I met, talked about the importance of moving toward what we could do in this city pretty quickly. We don't have a whole lot of time. I've said this to your paper and to other outlets. We have a small window, in my judgment. We wanted to get a plan put into place that talks about what we can do over time, but with an eye toward the things that we needed to do right away.
Q. What do you consider to be the biggest obstacle the city faces moving forward?
A. The economy. Obviously, the casinos have been dealing with the competitive environment. Apart from the general economy, there's a lot more competition, and that affects casino receipts. We have to come to terms with that. Although our principal focus is on the nongaming element of the economy, we certainly appreciate and recognize how important the casino licensees are to employment and tax-base creation for the city. But the economy is the biggest issue.
We'll succeed to the extent that Resorts, for instance, does a Margaritaville or Cordish presents a Bass (Pro Shops) outlet — two terrific destination tenants. By any measure, these are nationally prominent tenants that are going to bring hundreds of thousands of new visitors to the city and help to grow the economy through that nongaming element. But we need more activity like that.
We talk to developers. There are property owners in the South Inlet. We've talked to a few of the larger casinos about interests they have in doing larger nongaming development investment activities. I'd like to think we'll have a few new projects we'll be able to present. We're talking to (The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey) of course, the major local public institution. We think there may be several opportunities for additional investment, but we can't do it alone.
Q. This year is on track to be the deadliest year Atlantic City has seen in five years. Most of the homicides have occurred outside the Tourism District, but in one incident two tourists were stabbed within the district's limits. Do you really believe the city is safer now with the Tourism District in place?
A. Any time there's a violent crime, it hurts the city's reputation and it affects visitation. We live in an urban area. We've got to deal with the hard realities associated with these kinds of events happening occasionally. ... I know that can be disturbing. But I think it's got to be understood in context. For instance, we entertain upward of 28 million to 29 million visitors a year. So beyond the limits of the city's population, which is 40,000 plus or minus, millions of people come here every year. We behave like a much bigger place than you would imagine. With that, sometimes, comes crime.
We're doing our best, obviously, to address issues that create a better environment, a better, more hospitable environment for visitors. We are achieving success. (Tourism District Commander) Tom Gilbert ... has been assigned from the Attorney General's office to the district full time. We, through Tom's office, have pledged over $3 million to help support technology upgrades for the Police Department, and we're beginning with a 411 system that encourages people to report crimes anonymously to us. We've got 25 dedicated Class II police officers to the district. We've got the ambassadors. Certainly, that number has been enhanced dramatically. So I think we're in a much better place. We've got to keep working at it. There isn't any question that more needs to be done.
Q. You've spoken in the past about the importance of not allowing Atlantic City to become a hub for the region's homeless and the impact that could have on the Tourism District. What impact do you think the Atlantic City Rescue Mission has on the CRDA's revitalization efforts?
A. Certainly, in the short-term we've got to deal with making the shelter more effective and managing those individuals who need service. We understand that, over time, relocating the shelter would probably be an appropriate thing to do — just outside the limits of the Tourism District. That's not because we don't understand that there are people that need help.
For now we need to focus on how to make (the shelter) operate more effectively. That might mean, for instance, not accepting every homeless person who comes to the doors of the shelter if they can't be accommodated. You can't allow people to just walk in and be taken care of. You want to do a better job. ... We don't want to be a catch-all for every poor soul who needs service in the state of New Jersey. That isn't what Atlantic City should be.
Our goal is to make sure we do sweeps on the Boardwalk within the precinct and below the Boardwalk. We do sweeps. Police get involved. Ambassadors are involved. Then, we want to, of course, provide them access to service, whether social service or medical service, and provide them with arrangements to relocate to other places. The places where they came from, for instance, would be a good first step in our judgment.
Q. There have been a number of media reports questioning Revel's performance. In August, Revel broke the $20 million mark in casino revenue but still ranked eighth among the 12 casinos. Are you concerned about its performance?
A. I think Kevin DeSanctis would admit that he was hoping to do better. There is something to be said about the fact that they're a new operation. They've created a new program for entertainment beyond gaming. Obviously, they want to become a place, a resort, that creates opportunities for a number of things beyond gaming. It's a new model in a way. They're a new operation. I think they need a bit more time.
But I also know — I stated there's a lot of competition. Its not lost on Kevin DeSanctis. The casinos in the city certainly understand that this represents competition. Whether or not he is viewed — Kevin, that is, and Revel — as a casino that might cut into existing profits and not grow the pie is an open question, I think. I'd make the argument that they're brand new. The beach hasn't fully opened. They haven't identified all the tenants for the various locations within the campus, and they need a little bit of time.
Q. The South Inlet redevelopment project, which will bring new housing, shops and restaurants to the neighborhood that surrounds Revel, relies in part on an investment from Revel. What happens to that project if the financing doesn't materialize?
A. We are relying on Revel to create an income stream that will allow us to either borrow or bond debt up to $50 million in the first phase, and that may grow to a few hundred million over time. We've begun by identifying a gamut of improvements that we'll be able to execute with $50 million based on receipts that can be forecast over the next 20 years. We used pretty conservative judgments. We've been working with the (state) Economic Development Authority. They've been representing our interests in negotiating with the banks to allow us to borrow money so that we can begin that first phase, which will allow us to create a park next to the lighthouse, to acquire some of the blighted properties that exist, and assemble some new parcels for development.
Stockton has expressed interest (in the project). There have been a few developers who own parcels who have come to us and said, "Listen, we think we want to do a residential building or some retail." But I would be less than forthright if I were to suggest that the funding is in hand. We're still working with EDA to do that. They're relying on assumptions of revenue that Revel generates. But I am optimistic that we'll be able to do that quickly.
Q. A number of the renters who will be relocated by the South Inlet project recently spoke out against the plan at a meeting organized by the local NAACP chapter and other groups. Mayor Lorenzo Langford has spoken at CRDA meetings in the past about a plan that would ensure other housing is created in the city. Where does that stand?
A. We talked to the mayor about identifying other sites for development that would accommodate residential development. We have agreed in principal. We haven't yet signed a letter of agreement, but we have discussed a few locations (for) swapping property that the city owns and providing the city with some property that might be suitable for that type of residential development. I'm confident that we're going to be able to satisfy the city and provide (that). The mayor and I have had positive discussions.
Whether or not we do any new development in housing — whether the mayor does it, or we do it, or the Housing Authority does it — we will ensure that every displaced tenant finds suitable — I'd say improved — residential quarters within the city's limits. There are enough housing units presently within this city of Atlantic City to satisfy any relocating family.
Q. In Providence you were credited with developing a thriving arts district. Here, we've seen Dante Hall reopen this year, plans for the Noyes Museum of Art to occupy the first floor of The Wave parking garage, and plans for several large-scale art installations. Do you think Atlantic City could really be known for a strong arts presence? What has to happen next to create a thriving arts district in Atlantic City?
A. Providence had the advantage of hosting several colleges, including the Rhode Island School of Design, which is the premier arts school in the country. Providence has always had kind of an advantage. (Atlantic City's plans are) kind of fledgling, I'd say. We're preparing contracts right now with Stockton to have them occupy about 15,000 (square) feet of space right across from Dante Hall within the garage building, The Wave. We have about 10 retail spaces that we would have probably just had market retailers occupy. We have been successful in negotiating terms with Stockton to occupy that space. Noyes would be the anchor tenant, which is terrific.
People have talked to us about the challenges (of creating an arts district). We're not in the middle of a big arts scene. We're an hour from Philly. We need to grow, and I think we'll go through a little bit of a gestation period. We're beginning by making an investment, which is always important. We're going to be spending $2 million on building out this space for Stockton arts uses. So, not only are we providing at a deep discount on these rental units, but we're going to do the fit-out for Stockton with the understanding — it will be explicit — that they bring Noyes and do these other arts uses. I think that will create a little bit of energy behind a new use.
Q. Bader Field hosted two successful festivals this year, but the last two were canceled, due in part to the luxury tax. The city-owned venue falls within the boundaries of the Tourism District. How would you like to see that space used in the future?
A. In the short-term I think that kind of use is appropriate. It is proven to be accessible and well-managed. The police have done a good job, and the city has done a good job. There is a tax issue, but I haven't been privy to (that). ... I'm not sure whether or not we've got a real hurdle in the tax structure that exists in the luxury tax. It's a great location. It's 100-plus acres. It's close to the (Atlantic City) Expressway. I think it also does things that maybe you can't quite measure. It promotes the city as place for this kind of cool activity.
We want to continue to do what we can to support those activities. It may be working with the Atlantic City Alliance to provide some financial support to make those kinds of programs work. ... That a few people had trouble because they believe the tax is too high, I'm not sure is a statement that I would take as gospel, that that's a hurdle to getting groups to come. I think we still can do a good job there.
Q. What is on the top of your to-do list for your second year at the CRDA?
A. It's continuing to work with the private sector. In the final analysis, we need the private sector to invest in the city. We can do the public work. We can work with the city to do capital improvements. ... As a public agency, we can make a difference. But in the final analysis, we need the private sector to say, "Listen, we think there are some terrific things happening." We've got the ocean as a tremendous asset. We're doing things to improve safety and the appearance of the city. We've got Margaritaville and Bass (Pro Shops), and maybe a big casino development activity that will be announced.
It's building on the strengths, and getting the private sector to come and meet with us because we're here to help fill in the gap. I think that's one of the things redevelopment authorities do — identifying what the developer wants done, what he can afford to do, what the gap is, and trying to fill the gap. That's the role. I would say, looking into the next year, I'd like a couple of more projects to present themselves and for us to be helpful in making them feasible.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Detroit Tigers moved a step closer to clinching their first playoff berth in 19 years.
Curtis Granderson homered, tripled and drove in three runs in a 10-run first inning to help the Tigers rout the Kansas City Royals 15-4 on Saturday night. Detroit maintained its 1 1/2-game lead in the AL Central over Minnesota.
The Tigers, who lost an AL-record 119 games in 2003, reduced their magic number to one for clinching their first playoff berth since 1987.
''I hear people are already starting to plan celebrations,'' Granderson said. ''I understand it seems like such a big deal for the fans and for the city. But at the same time, it would be a little celebration, hopefully, compared to winning the division. I hope it is not a huge one.
''For me, if we happen to win the game here (Sunday), for example, normal routine after the game, congratulate everybody, come in to the dugout, little hugs and what not, but I don't think it should be too blown up.''
Tigers manager Jim Leyland does not want to talk about the playoff just yet.
''We are on the verge, but we haven't done it yet,'' Leyland said. ''Hopefully we can get it accomplished tomorrow. It would be real sweet. We would like to take that first step, which be to get in. It would be a pretty big accomplishment. An unexpected accomplishment, I would think.''
Left-hander Kenny Rogers (17-6) held the Royals to five hits and one run over eight innings. Rogers struck out three and walked one.
''We've still got work to do,'' Rogers said. ''By no means are we going to get complacent and sit back and wait for something. We're going to go out and do what we're capable of doing. We all want to win the division.''
The Tigers jumped all over the Royals, scoring 10 runs in the first.
''I told them to keep scoring, I'll make sure I'm loose,'' Rogers said. ''The more they score, I don't mind a bit.''
Granderson led off the game for the fifth time this season with a home run. His triple to right scored Placido Polanco and Chris Shelton.
''When I got to third base, (Jeff) Keppinger, their third baseman, told me I got the two hardest out of the way for a cycle,'' Granderson said. ''He jinxed me. I ended up not doing anything else after that. It seemed like it would have been easy to do, but I couldn't get a hit after that.''
Polanco was playing for the first time since Aug. 15 when he separated his left shoulder, contributing a two-run double and had three hits. Every Tigers starter reached base in the inning except for Craig Monroe, who grounded out twice.
''The shoulder feels good,'' Polanco said. ''It bothers me a little bit, but I think it is past the stage where it was hurting. It bothers me more than it hurts. I can live with that. It is going to be part of me for a while.''
Carlos Guillen, Brandon Inge, Chris Shelton and Marcus Thames each had run-scoring hits in the first inning. Ivan Rodriguez walked twice in the inning, including the second time with the bases loaded.
The 10 runs and nine hits in the inning were season-highs for the Tigers, who sent 16 men to the plate.
Royals left-hander Mark Redman (10-10) retired only one of the 10 batters he faced, allowing nine runs, before being replaced by Scott Dohmann. Kansas City also gave up 11 runs to Cleveland in the first inning on Aug. 13.
''I was too strong out there,'' said Redman, who had not pitched since Sept. 17 after two off-days last week. ''When I am strong, the ball stays flat.''
The last time the Tigers scored more than 10 runs in an inning was April 23, 2004, when they had an 11-run sixth against Cleveland.
Granderson added another RBI in the five-run fourth on a groundout. Guillen's single scored Thames and Magglio Ordonez. Shelton had a run-scoring double. Jose Diaz had a wild pitch, which scored Craig Monroe.
''It wasn't pretty,'' Royals interim manager Billy Doran said. ''You just put it behind us and move on. That's the only way you do after a night like this.''
Rogers, who is 6-0 in his past eight starts since an Aug. 12 loss, lost his shutout in the eighth, when John Buck led off with his 10th home run. He also added a two-run homer in the ninth to make it 15-4.
Notes: The Royals need to go 5-3 in their remaining eight games to avoid their third consecutive 100-loss season. ... The Tigers have hit 29 home runs against the Royals this season. ... The Tigers are 13-1 against the Royals this season, including 8-0 at Kauffman Stadium. ... Royals 2B Esteban German went 0-for-4, snapping his career-high nine-game hitting streak.

Feta Dip/Spread With Fresh Dill
Recipe by Nif_H
A super easy recipe with 2 of my favourite things - pine nuts and feta! Use crackers, toasted pita wedges or flatbread to dip into this delicious mixture. Enjoy!
Top Review by Dr. Jenny
Lovely dip! I made this to take to a family gathering this evening and loved how it used so much fresh dill, as I had quite a bit on hand that needed using. Everyone loved it, raved about it, and said, "5 stars all the way!" Also, I loved that the prep was very minimal. I chilled for about 2 hours before serving and served with baked pita chips. There was none left at the end of the evening. Thanks, Nif. I'll definitely make this dip again. Made for Family Picks ZWT6.

Maybe you are using the "/*" and "*/" delimiters in an interactive session
and not from the do-file editor. This is what happened in this thread:
Sinan Hastorun
I realize that not everyone uses the pvar program of Dr. Inessa Love, but
any suggestions regarding this error would be greatly appreciated. I
time-demean the variables, then run the helm command to remove the fixed
effects, and finally, try to run PVAR on the transformed variables. However,
I keep getting the following error message:

What exactly does this mean? Any thoughts on what the problem might be or
what I may be doing wrong? How do I resolve this kind of error?

CHRIS LIEBING: THE TECHNO ALCHEMIST (www.native-instruments.com)
One of most respected names in techno music is Chris Liebing. Calling Frankfurt, Germany, he has been playing for 20+ years to audiences all over the globe. To him, it's not about playing hit after hit. He would rather take his audiences to another dimension. "Nothing
