The Minister for Industry, Energy and Tourism, José Manuel Soria, announced today that electricity prices for those on the TUR pricing structure (20 million households and SMEs) were set to rise by between 5% and 7% on April 1st.
In a statement to Antena 3, Soria emphasised that the government had no choice but to increase electricity prices, after the Supreme Court ordered that the allowable annual deficit in power supply pricing had been reached.
The Minister also made it clear that consumers would not bear the whole brunt of the price increases, with public coffers and electricity supply companies also paying their share. "Otherwise," he explained, electricity prices would have to go up by 40%, and the country is not in a position to stand an increase like that".
He also said that next Friday's meetin go the Council of Ministers would be dealing with concrete proposals to reduce the tariff deficit - the result of the fact that revenue does not cover the costs of running the power supply system.
The TUR tariff, which is renewed every quarter, is the sum of two components: the tolls - which pay the sector's regulated costs (set by the government), and the price of energy itself - which is the result of regular auctions known as Cesur.
Last week's auction for brought about a price drop of between 3.7% and 2.89%, which, after technical adjustments, will translate into a reduction of around 7% in actual electricity costs.
However, the fact that the government did not make sufficient increases in the tolls, that all electricity consumers pay, means that the deficit has to be reduced to the legal limits of 3 billion euros in 2011 and 1.5 billion in 2012.

Days theme reflects Hoover the humanitarian
News · March 22, 2013
The 2013 Hoovers Hometown Days celebration opens Aug. 3 with the theme Herbert Hoover: Master of Emergencies.
The theme, according to organizers, honors his many humanitarian accomplishments.
Herbert Hoovers humanitarianism defined him as a man of moral courage, initiative, and compassion, Hoover National Historic Site Superintendent Pete Swisher, said. His deeds are a reminder of our abilities to make a difference in our communities, or around the world.
During and after World War I, Hoover organized and directed food relief in war-devastated countries, an effort he repeated after the end of World War II. As Secretary of Commerce his leadership of federal disaster relief during the catastrophic 1927 Mississippi River Flood helped propel him to the presidency.
An orphan before his 10th birthday, Hoover was sympathetic to people in need, especially children, Days organizers note.
As president, Hoover increased the budget for childrens programs and called a landmark White House Conference on Child Health and Protection, read a statement by the HHD committee. The former President became chairman of the Boys Clubs of America in 1936, a post he held for more than 25 years. In 1946, Hoovers vision for an organization to feed children around the world became UNICEF, the United Nations Childrens Fund, a leading advocate for childrens welfare and rights around the world.
Many local partners contribute to planning and organizing Hoovers Hometown Days, including the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association, the City of West Branch, Main Street West Branch, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum, and Herbert Hoover National Historic Site.
Hoovers Hometown Days celebrates the life of the 31st president and West Branch native and serves as an annual festival for the city of West Branch.
(The Days) continues its family-friendly tradition of entertainment, childrens activities, a parade, food, and a showcase of Iowa heritage, read a press release. Exhibitors, vendors and demonstrations display Iowas rich culture and history at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum, and throughout downtown West Branch.

SMITHVILLE Shenandoah Shakespeare Express's "Ripe with Mischief" tour brought a new perspective on Shakespeare to Wayne County Schools Career Center students on Thursday afternoon.Three of the 12-member troupe demonstrated the unique staging conditions they use to present Shakespeare's plays. Based in Staunton, Va., members of the company have visited 48 states and four foreign countries. The troupe is on a 10-week fall tour to colleges and high schools. They performed "Twelfth Night" on Friday night at Wayne College and "Measure for Measure" on Saturday night. "We are the world's most extensive Shakespeare touring company," said associate artistic director and actress Joyce Peifer. "We put on plays the same way Shakespeare did." The troupe did excerpts from "Twelfth Night" and "Measure for Measure," as well as Oliver Goldsmith's play, "She Stoops to Conquer." They showed the difference between traditional staging with the audience in the dark and a "fourth wall" between the audience and actors, and thrust staging, in which the actors work within the audience, even to the point of putting chairs for audience members on stage. Characters can then be three-dimensional, and audience members can not only see the actors' faces, but also reactions from other actors to the dialogue. "You just can't ignore actors," said Jeremy West, "when they're right in your face." At the Career Center, the troupe had students sit on three sides of the "stage," so they would feel more involved in the play. While interacting with the audience, actors develop more of a relationship with them, said actor Fred Arsenault. In some Shakespearean plays, the audience became either the jury or the community. "You become our playmates, our enemies, our friends," said Peifer. "It sucks you right in. We're alive; we're not a movie. We make you a part of the play. This makes Shakespeare easier to understand, and more enjoyable." Thrust staging also forces the audience to use their imaginations. They use few props, which suggest a setting, but no big backdrops or staging. Dialogue is used to move the audience from one setting to the other. For example, to show that the setting has moved to Rome, a character would say, "Welcome to Rome," to another character. Laws in Shakespeare's time forbid women to be actors, so men and boys played all the roles. The actors also had multiple roles in the same plays, as do the Virginia troupe.Night scenes are done with lanterns, and verbal clues, but at the Career Center, the actors used flashlights.Music was a big part of Shakespeare's plays, before, after and during the play, using popular songs of the day. Some of the Virginia troupe's actors also write music for the actors' lines. Arsenault accompanied himself on guitar in one segment.The troupe also gave a presentation at Orrville High School on Thursday morning, and visited another high school on Friday.

©1994 Patrick F. McManus; (P)1995 Recorded Books, LLC
"Stories abound about hunting, fishing and arduous treks, including a piece about hiking with George Bush during the 1992 presidential campaign. There's entertainment aplenty here that even indoorsy folk should enjoy." (Publishers Weekly)
"Mark Twain meets Bertie Wooster"
Unless you are one of those serious, intellectual grumps, you gotta love Patrick McManus. Even I ??? who have less-than-zero appreciation for hunting and fishing ??? love Patrick McManus ??? maybe because he never actually kills anything in his humorous pieces about hunting and fishing. In fact, many of the stories in "How I Got This Way" brag ??? self-deprecatingly ??? about how he not only never bags any game or fish, but keeps everyone around him from catching anything, too. "How I Got This Way" tells about his childhood in Idaho during the Great Depression. Of course, he may be exaggerating a teensy bit; but I think that he is basing his stories on real people and real experiences while growing up mostly in the outdoors. Think Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. You will love meeting his friends ??? like Rancid Crabtree and Crazy Eddie ??? and enemies ??? like the entire Scragg family ??? and you will enjoy seeing these same characters pop up later in his Bo Tully novels. I recommend "How I Got This Way" unconditionally to anyone with a sense of humor ??? even if you don't like hunting and fishing.
Love a good mystery, but don't care much for pure thrillers.
"Funny at times, but it becomes stale."
This was my first McManus book. I found his reflections somewhat amusing at time, but rather soon, one could predict the way a story would turn out. After a while, I got tired of his droll retelling of some of his life's experiences. I may try actually reading rather than listening to another of his books, but I have the feeling that there won't be much new to be found. It sounds as if he is popular speaking at Elk's Lodges and VFW meetings or addressing the local Rotary Club, but don't look for anything profound in his ruminations.
"how I got this way"
very funny as always pat is the best
Practicing Idealist, Dabbling Realist ;)
"Laughed so hard I found unknown belly muscles"
The performance was perfect!
This is not a useful review question and I wish Audible wouldn't use it for non-fiction and certain other types of books.
I am not into hunting or fishing, but am a fan of comedy where humanity is examined and quirks and humor are found, examined, and presented. Mr McManus is such a gifted observer and story teller. So much of today's humor is raunchy with a focus on sex and using foul language in the delivery. Without using these easy attention getting tools Mr McManus tells folksy, yet deep, stories that bring out a lot of laughter. That he can do a better job at making people laugh and still keep it clean is to be commended.

This audiobook started off quietly and slowly and at first I thought I had made a mistake and was thinking about turning it off and listening to something else. But the story about the chickens and priest made me laugh so hard that I felt muscles in my belly that I didn't know I had. And further stories down the line had me laughing so that I felt unworked muscles in my throat. Not every story made me laugh so hard, but at the very least I was smiling or enjoying another glimpse of humanity, friendship, and our foibles.

I would not recommend this book to someone who has recently had surgery in the abdominal region.

wrapped in Trinity love
"Almost perfect"
Wonderful reading of the book. I just wish the individual chapters were easier to navigate.
"Always good"
Since I was a young guy I loved reading McManus. Now still brings a laugh to my face and when listening to a book my wife often looks ar me like I am nuts. Thank you Mr McManus
"I was unfamiliar with Patrick McManus..."
...and neither was my driving partner, but this audiobook kept cracking us up on our road trip to Florida. The hours flew by. We're getting another for the ride back.
"Good for an afternoon listening"
The book was OK and good for passing a weekend listening. Made me laugh in parts, but overall was pretty much OK.
"Made it through but don't know how"
I usually like books of this nature but this was different. Of the 18 books I read last year, I could site passages or quotes from each. This book had the power to thwart any retention whatsoever. It's like driving to work and then not having any recollection of passing through busy intersections.While I won't say that I didn't like the book, it was very disappointing to spend the time listening and not come away with sense of entertainment or satisfaction.I've been an audible listener for one year and this is the first book I regret buying.
I have my eye on an Alaskan adventure. It should go good with the unusual wintery weather we're experiencing.
It was short order before the narration was just an endless rambling. I'd like to blame it on the content but I will be cautious in buying any of his works in the future.
It could be a series on TLC given how low they set the bar for quality entertainment.
"Good ole McManus, will leave you in stitches"
The present day Mark Twain for the modern sportsman, McManus's self-deprecating approach to humor is something that almost any outdoors person can relate to. With the help of great narration to bring the stories to life, you will no doubt reflect upon your own hunting experiences and tribulations both in the field and out.

Rancid will always hold a special place in my heart.
I've heard a couple of different narrators of McManus stories, and short of having the author read them himself, Dietz's readings are by far the best in my opinion.
McManus always makes me laugh.

By Kevin Allen, USA TODAY
Chicago Blackhawks general manager Dale Tallon believes in the importance of goaltending to the point that he will spend $12.35 million next season with the hope that his netminding will be better than it was in 2007-08.
Tallon committed $56.8 million over eight seasons to land prominent free agent defenseman Brian Campbell, but the move that had the hockey world talking was his signing of goalie Cristobal Huet for $5.6 million a season when he's already paying Khabibulin $6.75 million for 2008-09.
TRACKER: Keep up on signings
"Khabibulin and Cristobal Huet will play together and they will be a great tandem for us," Tallon said. "Without strong goaltending, you will have no chance."
In addition to Campbell and Huet, the New York Rangers landed Wade Redden, the New Jersey Devils got Brian Rolston and Bobby Holik and the New York Islanders signed Mark Streit. The Carolina Hurricanes dealt Erik Cole to the Edmonton Oilers for defenseman Joni Pitkanen.
The Vancouver Canucks also offered Mats Sundin what general manager Mike Gillis said would make him the NHL's highest-paid player. TSN, Canada's version of ESPN, said it was $20 million over two seasons.
Gillis said Sundin, at home in Sweden, was sleeping on it.
"From all indications, he was very, very pleased that we stepped up and did what we did and we're hoping to have some more dialogue in the morning and get a positive response," Gillis said.
Meanwhile, the Washington Capitals, a team that expects to be a strong Eastern Conference contender next season, wanted to re-sign Huet, but when the 'Hawks went strong after him with a four-year deal, general manager George McPhee signed Jose Theodore.
Agent Steve Bartlett said Huet didn't know Campbell was signing there when he made his deal, but he views Chicago as a team on the rise.
"I don't think they are making this level of commitment to (Huet) to be a backup," Bartlett said. "They could have gotten a lot cheaper backup, but I'm not saying they couldn't get in a situation where there is a 60-40 split for one season."
Huet had a .920 save percentage last season with time spent with Montreal and Washington, while Khabibulin was at .909.
Rolston was one of the hottest players, eventually signing for $20 million for four seasons with New Jersey, where he had started his career.
According to Bartlett, 17 teams expressed a desire to sign Rolston.
"I've never had a player who had that many teams," Bartlett said. "In the end, he left some money on the table because he felt comfortable going back to New Jersey because he knows the people there and he had played that system in New Jersey and Minnesota."
Contibuting: Mike Brehm
Other moves around the league:
Caps re-sign defenseman Green
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tuesday was Mike Green's day as the NHL's top scoring defenseman was rewarded with a four-year, $21 million contract.
Green scored 18 goals last season at the unripe age of 22, becoming the youngest player to lead defensemen in goals since Paul Coffey in 1981-82. He especially flourished after he was reunited early in the season with coach Bruce Boudreau, whose attacking style is a perfect fit for Green's talents.
"Yeah, me and Bruce have been through quite a bit in the last three years," said Green, who had previously played for Boudreau with the Capitals' AHL affiliate in Hershey. "He wins coach of the year this season and he's only there for three-quarters of the season. It goes to show how good of a coach he is. I didn't want to leave Bruce."
OFFSEASON REVIEW: See how your team is doing this summer
Red Wings sign defenseman Stuart, goalie Conklin
DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings signed defenseman Brad Stuart to a four-year contract, and goalie Ty Conklin to a one-year deal on Tuesday.
The Red Wings obtained the 28-year-old Stuart from the Los Angeles Kings at the trade deadline last season for Detroit's second-round draft pick in 2008 and its fourth-round pick in 2009.
Stuart had one goal and one assist in nine regular season games, missed eight games with a broken finger, then returned in time for the playoffs and scored a goal and had six assists in 21 games for the Stanley Cup champions.
Conklin, 32, was 18-8-5 with a 2.51 goals-against average in 33 games last season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team Detroit beat in six games to win the Stanley Cup. The Edmonton Oilers signed him as a free agent in 2001 and he also has played for the Columbus Blue Jackets and Buffalo Sabres.
Ducks sign Perry
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) —Corey Perry is keeping up with Ducks teammate Ryan Getzlaf.
Anaheim signed Perry, its second-leading scorer from last season, to a five-year, $26.6 million contract Tuesday, a deal similar to one Getzlaf — the Ducks' top point-getter — agreed to in November.
"I really wanted to stay in Anaheim, it's a great place to play hockey," Perry said during a conference call.
Despite missing part of the season because of a leg injury, the 23-year-old Perry established several career highs. He led the Ducks with 29 goals, and his 54 points was second only to Getzlaf's 82.
"Corey is one of the top young players in the NHL today," Ducks general manager Brian Burke said. "He's a true Duck, a hard-nosed goal-scorer."

The Best Apps for Discovering New Music
Twitter just unveiled a new app geared toward discovering new music.
It's similar to many music services already out there — unless you're looking for artists that very few people know about. Twitter Music's "emerging" section is where it stands out.
But if you're a big music junkie, odds are you're already equipped with a music player that feeds you new songs on a regular basis. There are also plenty of apps you can link to the best music players like Rdio and Spotify to find new music.
Here's a quick rundown of some of the top ones. Many are subscription-based, but they are worth paying a few bucks:
Spotify and Rdio: Along with Rdio, Spotify is probably the go-to music playing service as it's essentially a massive library of songs you can listen to whenever you want. Most of the new best songs will show up on Spotify, and you'll be able to follow playlists built by your friends to find new songs. Spotify's premium subscription will run $10 per month, as will Rdio's, if you want to listen to music on mobile devices.
Soundrop: Think Reddit for Spotify. Soundrop creates various "stations" where groups of people can vote up and down songs into a queue. If you're interested in a very specific kind of music, this is a good spot to start finding what a lot of other people will like. Soundrop is free for Spotify users.
Last.fm: Last.fm also plugs into your Spotify account, along with others, to build a profile of what you like to hear. In addition, Last.fm does a good job finding more off-kilter recommendations — like, for example, correctly suggesting an electronic artist like Deadmau5 even though you listen to mostly indie rock. You can see how close of a match you are to your friends and then parse their accounts for new music. Side bonus: Last.fm will also recommend live shows in your area based on your music tastes. Last.fm is a free service.
Pandora: If you don't want to do a lot of work, Pandora is good for automatically serving up music that you're probably going to find interesting. Pick an artist, a genre, or anything along those lines and let it fly on its own. You can listen to Pandora for free, but by paying $36 a year your listening hours won't be capped.
Songza: Songza takes the Pandora thesis a little farther by picking certain "feelings" — like "working to a background beat" or "commuting home." These playlists serve up curated music based on your environment and also serve as a good way to find new things to hear. Songza is free to use.
Twitter #music: Twitter's new music app does a good job of surfacing bands that even Last.fm and other music discovery apps aren't able to find, but are still relevant to your interests. It requires building another new profile, but if you are clamoring for new music and have exhausted the results of the others, this is a good place to start. Twitter #music is free, but requires a Spotify or Rdio subscription to get the most out of the service.

Pima College dipped into its past to find a new men's basketball coach.
Brian Peabody was named the school's new coach today, pending board approval. Peabody coached the team for the 2003-04 season, posting a 7-23 record; he quit after the college administration eliminated Pima's ability to recruit out-of-state players.
Peabody has coached at Ironwood Ridge High School since 2007.
During a 29-year coaching career, Peabody has worked at Salpointe Catholic (1993-2003), St. Gregory (1992-93) and Green Fields (1990-92). He spent the 2004-05 season as an assistant at Western Carolina University. His high school teams have won two state titles, and played in the championship game six times. He leaves Ironwood Ridge boasting 442 career wins at the high school level.
Peabody said in a news release that Pima "feels like home."
"I have a lot of unfinished business from the first time around," he said. "It's very exciting to be back."
Peabody replaces Gabriel Van Guse, who resigned last month.

This is documented in the livedocs, but I also wanted to give some examples of how you can apply filters to components to further achieve your desired look-and-feel. Want a drop-shadow on a button or a label? Want your text to look chiseled, or maybe your combo-box looking nicely chiseled? What an inner-shadow on a text input? Or maybe you just wantd a an area that looks beveled, or inset. This is all possible with filters in flex, as shown in the image below.
Not only is it possible, but it's incredibly simple. A label with a drop-shadow is as simple as the following:
<mx:Label label="Label">
<flash.filters:DropShadowFilter xmlns:flash.filters="flash.filters.*" />
So, I've provided a sample mxml file that shows some nice uses of filters.
Once again, here's to Flex apps that don't look like flex apps!

A long-awaited announcement from
The results of a phase-two trial for the stem cell therapy for chronic heart failure was announced two years ago and since then speculation about whether strategic investor and commercial partner
Canaccord analyst
"We have yet to see a cardiac stem cell trial from any group that has delivered a clear and unambiguous efficacy signal in this area," he said.
But Mr Smith said it would be many years before Mesoblast could report a finding from the trial, given its size and the uncertain duration. The trial would measure the time to a first cardiac event after an injection of stem cells. If the therapy is successful, it could be a long time before a heart-failure-related event occurs.
Mr Smith also questioned the usefulness of the previous phase-two trial of 60 patients. "The data was good in terms of safety but there was very mixed data in terms of . . . efficacy."
The announcement comes at a time of turmoil at Teva, an Israeli generic drug maker, which holds a 17.6 per cent stake in Mesoblast. Teva chief executive of Jeremy Levin stepped down on Wednesday following a dispute with the board over a company restructure.
The trading surge on Thursday lifted Mesoblast's 12-month gain to 15 per cent, but its $6.65 closing price is down from a 12-month high of $7.49 in February. Of 10 analysts on Bloomberg, five give "buy" calls, versus two "hold" and three "sell" recommendations.

Blisters following orthopedic surgery?
I am having a firm time finding information on the net in the order of this condition. Does anyone know how common it is for patients to develop blistering of the skin following mutual replacement surgery (arthroplasty)? I think they are call fracture blisters. Is this a serious complication or something that usually resolves itself?
Tape blisters around the incision after a total hip arthroplasty can be a source of pain and frustration for patients. Blisters can ensue esp when non-stretchable silk tape be used to secure the postoperative dressing. Superficial, blisters can occasionally front to infection or leave scar.
Blisters may form because of the use of constricting tape or because of swelling and/or skin sensitivity. Patients who enjoy experienced the development of skin blisters after previous surgery may request that daily tape be used after subsequent surgical procedures, but broadsheet tape is recurrently poorly adherent to the skin.
Sometimes, shear stress or the pulling of the skin that occurs next to the use of a more rigid tape is associated beside the development of skin blisters. This can be prevented by the use of a more compliant or stretchable cassette.; or compressive spica Ace wrap dressings.
This type of dressing does not restrict skin movement as much as a more rigid, non-stretchable tape dressing, but the application of the compressive spica Ace wrap dressing is difficult and dressing change are not easily perform, particularly surrounded by obese patients.
Postoperative swelling may also contribute to the formation of skin blisters. Skin blisters are not uncommon at fracture sites where on earth a closed reduction have been perform and there is associated post-reduction swelling. Plaster form left for a long time can also end in blisters.
In addition, nutritional deficiency, obesity, or other medical comorbidities that commonly times cannot be improved in the past surgery may contribute to the risk of the formation of skin blisters.
When skin blisters do develop, treatment with protective dressings and scrutiny for signs of infection are appropriate. Time for healing may change. Blood-filled blisters may be more likely to restore to health with irreparable scarring. So, make it an force to avoid scratching. Keep the nouns clean and dry.
Skin blisters would not be expected to compromise the results of arthroplasty near regard to long-term function and may not represent a serious concern for the surgeon. However, they can be a markedly disconcerting problem for the patient, who repeatedly requires reassurance from the surgeon that the blisters will heal. This problem might represent a frequent effect of postoperative morbidity and patient anxiety.
I not long had abdominal surgery. I notify the surgeon that I was allergic to silk cassette. He used nylon tape right at the suture sites for wellbeing and paper cassette. In a short duration ;post surgery, I experienced some burning and itching at the incisional site. Eventually, blisters were formed which burst beside fluid. Now I have some burn or discoloration scar which I'm treating with Mederma to blanch. I should have used it without beating about the bush. I did apply some Neosporin (antibiotic oint OTC) to aid in the recuperative process.
By the way, this is a adjectives problem. Fracture blisters maybe formed at the site where on earth closed reduction ( no surgery) is done. And the blisters you own won't be called that as you have a joint replacement surgery or arthroplasty.(open) Therefore, remove the offending cartridge immediately to avoid scarring. You can also apply petroleum jelly oint, and maintain the suture line dressed if it's draining.
forget the internet, send for your surgeon.
That might be a infection. Anytime you have skin that blisters after a serious surgery is something to verbs about. I would phone call your doctor or nurse practitioner and discuss it with them. Good luck!

(1st Add: Includes details concerning the shooter's possible motive.)
(CNSNews.com) - Virginia Tech announced that it is canceling all classes for the remainder of the week to give students "the time they need to grieve and seek assistance, as needed."
At a Tuesday morning news conference, University President Charles Steger also announced that Norris Hall -- where 30 students and the gunman died -- will remain closed for remainder of semester. Alternative classroom locations are being arranged, he said.
Virginia Tech will hold a convocation at 2 p.m. Tuesday. President and Mrs. Bush, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine and other dignitaries will join the community in its "collective sorrow," Steger said. They will offer condolences and "words of hope" as the university begins the process of moving forward, Steger said.
Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum identified the gunman as 23-year-old Cho Seung-hui of South Korea, a resident alien who was enrolled at Virginia Tech as an English major.
Cho was in his senior year and came from Centreville, a town in northern Virginia. He was living on campus, in Harper Hall, police said.
Flinchum said Cho used two handguns - one, a 9 millimeter and the other a 22-caliber pistol. The same weapons were used in both the dormitory and classroom attacks.
Although there is no official word on motive, Cho is described as a loner who demonstrated deranged behavior, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly stalking women.
Cho reportedly left a "disturbing" note in his dorm room explaining his actions, expressing anger at "rich kids," "deceitful charlatans" and "debauchery," adding "You caused me to do this."
The English major's creative writing was so disturbing that he was reportedly referred to the school's counseling service.
"There was some concern about him," the Associated Press quoted the chairwoman of the school's English department, Professor Carolyn Rude, as saying. Rude spoke with the department's director of creative writing, who had the shooter in one of her classes.
"Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be. But we're all alert to not ignore things like this," said Rude.
A bomb threat note was also reportedly found near Cho's body and the bodies of some victims, "directed at engineering school department buildings."
Positive IDs needed
The names of those who died in the gunfire will be released once all of them have been positively identified and their next of kin notified, Flinchum said.
Dr. Marcella Fierro, the chief medical examiner for Virginia, said the process may take a "several days." She said her staff will work as "quickly, and as carefully and as efficiently as we can." Partial lists of victims are now circulating on the Internet, and the victims include students, faculty and graduate students.
'Chaos and panic
Col. Steve Flaherty, the superintendent of the Virginia State Police, said the victims were found in at least four classrooms and a stairwell at Norris Hall. The gunman, who killed himself, was found among some of the victims in a classroom.
Flaherty said the evidence indicates a scene of tremendous chaos and panic" on the second floor of Norris Hall. He said dozens and dozens of investigators and special agents are trying to process the scattered crime scene.
"We know that there were a number of heroic events that took place, students and faculty alike, within minutes of this tragedy unfolding," Flaherty said, but he did not elaborate.
Police said they are "exploring whether or not there was someone that may or may not have helped Cho at any point during his planning or during his execution of this event."
They do not believe he had an accomplice, however.
(A young man detained by police on Monday was said to be an acquaintance of the first female victim killed in her dormitory. "As officers were interviewing him, the shootings at Norris Hall were reported.")
Police said they have no information connecting recent bomb threats with Monday's shootings.
John Marshall, the Virginia Secretary of Public Safety, made a point of praising police and university officials for their actions.
"I think it's important to note that yesterday morning, President Steger and his staff and Chief Flinchum and law enforcement made the right decisions based on the best information that they had available at the time."
Marshall said he wants to let Steger know "that you're not alone."
Some have criticized university police and administrators for the two-hour delay in attempting to notifying most students about the first shooting in a dormitory.
On Tuesday morning, Steger said police believed that the first shooting, which happened around 7:15 a.m. in a dormitory room, was a murder-suicide involving a male and a female student.
But no weapon was found at the scene.
Steger said with so many people on campus or arriving on campus, he and other administrators were trying, after the first shooting, to "manage" the information process.
"If you don't do it right, and you report misinformation, you have chaos," Steger told Fox News.

Gabriella Possum thought she might cry as she came face to face for the first time in decades with her father's most famous painting.
Gabriella and her brother Lionel were making their first visit to the National Gallery of Australia to see the gallery of Indigenous art where the huge work, Warlugulong 1977, dominates.
It was bought in 2007 by the gallery for $2.4 million, making it the gallery's most significant piece of Aboriginal artwork.
The gallery says the painting, one of Clifford Possum's seminal works, is regarded as one of the key Australian paintings of the 20th century and reveals five Dreaming stories.
"The main story Warlugulong (Bushfire Dreaming) relates to a father (Lungkata, the Blue-Tongue Lizard Man) who discovers his two sons had killed, cooked and eaten a kangaroo without sharing it (as is customary)," the gallery says.
"In anger and wanting to teach them a lesson, he blew on his fire stick until it glowed. He held it to a bush which exploded into flames. A raging fire roared towards the sons who tried in vain to fight it but they soon perished (their skeletons can be seen to the right)."
Gabriella Possum said the master piece brought back sad memories.
"Long time I remember the Bushfire Dreaming, it's good but sad because of the story, my Daddy's uncle," she said.
After seeing some of her father's other paintings in the gallery, she said: "The small paintings bring back to life my school days, still keeping the past strong, we feel strong seeing the paintings."
Curator Franchesca Cubillo said the painting was the gallery's most significant Aboriginal art work from the Western Desert region.
"It holds pride of place in our Western Desert gallery," she said
"We hadn't had the opportunity to have the family here to see the work ... it's so important that the family have the opportunity to visit and access these wonderful works of art.
"We need to ensure that what we have here at the gallery is shared with everyone.
"It's important that we have this remarkable work in our collection, not so that we can have bragging rights or anything but that we get the chance to share this with the wider community.
"In that regard, we feel we are custodians."
The gallery says from 1976 to 1979, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri produced a series of five large innovative canvases that mapped out his ancestral lands and their Dreaming stories in such a way as to integrate the sacred diagrams of ceremonial ground paintings and the topographical conventions of European maps.
No Western Desert painter had attempted this approach before and these are amongst the first large canvases ever produced from this ground breaking movement.
He died in Alice Springs in 2002 on the day he was scheduled to be invested with the Order of Australia for his contribution to art and to the Indigenous community.

Campaign Finance
Campaign Finance: The U.S. Supreme Court, Citizens United and corporate election spendingFew U.S. Supreme Court decisions of the past 20 years have opened the door for sweeping change in the basics of our democracy as the Citizens United decision handed down in January 2010. In Citizens United, the Court cleared the way for corporations to engage in independent spending to support or oppose candidates in elections at all levels – from the town council to the U.S. Presidency. In their decision on Citizens United, eight of the nine Supreme Court Justices supported the idea that states and Congress can require disclosure in these campaigns. After all, voters cannot make informed judgments about what they see in campaign advertisements and literature without knowing who paid for them. The Wyoming Legislature passed Senate File 3–Campaign finance-organizations in the 2011 General session. The new law amends state statutes to comply with the Supreme Court's decision. In testimony to the Senate's Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee in January, the Equality State Policy Center provided a brief analysis of the decision and its implications for state elections. The ESPC also suggested a series of amendments to the bill to require expansive disclosure of independent expenditures by corporations, unions, and other professional organizations. Ultimately, the Legislature adopted an amendment that will require corporations and others mounting independent expenditure campaigns to register with the Wyoming Secretary of State and report their contributions and spending on campaign advertising. Nevertheless, the disclosure that will be required by Wyoming law does not mitigate the potential for the biggest corporations, with their deep treasuries, to dominate the voices heard in state campaigns in Wyoming and elsewhere around the country. Many of these financial dreadnaughts operate in the state. Some extract coal and other energy and mineral resources. The railroads have invested billions to haul coal from Wyoming mines to distant markets and carry millions of tons of other freight through the state on its way to market. Some argue the Citizens United decision will prove beneficial to national and state politics. These proponents aver that it serves free speech and the First Amendment by telling government it cannot constitutionally regulate corporate speech in elections. The ESPC and others contend the decision opens the floodgates for the world's biggest corporations to pour money into elections, swamping the campaigns of candidates they oppose while lifting the candidates who pronounce their support for corporate interests. Restrictions against foreign influence in U.S. elections have been swept away by the Court in a narrow 5-4 vote that gives entities that exist only on paper the same rights as citizens who breathe and bleed. Democracy will suffer. The Court's reasoning relied mainly on an argument that a corporation is an "association of citizens" and therefore entitled to the free speech rights that would attach to a human. (See the U.S. Supreme Court arguments on the case here.) The Equality State Policy Center (ESPC) respectfully disagrees with this reasoning because:
- (1) shareholders can be foreign nationals;
- (2) shareholders may also be other corporations, pension funds, and other investment vehicles as opposed to individuals;
- (3) a corporation separates and distances itself from the association of persons through a number of protections granted by government for the convenience of doing business, mainly the limitation on personal liability.

Reference Desk OAQs
This column features Occasionally Asked Questions (OAQs) at the BEL Reference Desk, and our suggested resources or research strategies.
So, without further ado, we'll start with a couple of shorties...
Q. How do I find US companies doing business in Taiwan (or Albania, Egypt, Belgium, etc.)?
A. The best place to look would be the Directory of American Firms Operating in Foreign Countries (call #382 D626). BEL retains the most recent copy; previous editions are kept in the Main Stacks.
Q. Where can I find definitions in print of categories/subcategories in the IFS?
A. While the International Financial Statistics online is in some ways easier to use, it does present information differently than the print version. The print version (located in BEL Reserves) contains definitions of its terms in the introduction (p. v-xxv in the Yearbook 2004).

Hi everyone.
Do any of you mull things over, put them on the Yeah-when-I-get-to-it list then find yourself doing the thing almost subconsciously at a later date then go 'Why didn't I get around to it sooner?' In my own defence I am not usually a procrastinator. For the last few weeks a new job has taken all my energy but yesterday I had a day off mid week and the result was getting time to take 4 1/2" (11cm) off the length of this coat.
Burdastyle 09-2007-104
The wrinkles are still falling out of the fur.
The 'Before' I remember it was mid summer, hot and rainy. After the photos I ran inside to the air conditioning!
The coat was blogged about here I made it knee length and hardly ever wore it, much as I loved it. I want a more informal length to get more use out of it. Fur, real or fake is in fashion here right now so this was the time to get out the scissors and the vacuum cleaner. and shorten it. The cool (by Sydney standards) weather is continuing so I hope to wear this to a party on Saturday night. This coat - I guess I should call it a jacket now - will definitely see more daylight. I want to swan around Pitt Street mall* wearing it.
By the way if you have the issue of Burda, this is a classic and well drafted raglan sleeved coat pattern. I saw a character in a TV show last night wearing a summer coat out of black printed Japanese crepe that was virtually identical.
Line drawing and model from the burdastyle.ru archives
I'm toying with the idea of keeping the offcut, lining it and putting hooks and eyes on the piece and the coat hem and having the option of attaching the piece as an extension. See post in three years time haha ;)
Have a good week,

dull stomach pain, lots of poop
Nichole asks:
I am constantly having dull pains (bloated, pressure) on my stomach. I also poop on average about four times a day. It seems like literally every time after I eat, I poop. Even half an apple, anything!! I have very little stress in my life. What could be the cause of this?? Please help!! Thanks!!
Thanks for the question.
First of all, you know I'm going to tell you to see your doctor first, right?
He/she will perform all sorts of horrifying and expensive tests. If nothing deadly is found, you will probably be told you have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
Poke around Ask Poonurse til you find the article on IBS that I spent the better part of fifteen minutes researching and writing.
Hope this helps explain things, and I hope there is nothing terribly wrong!
Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.
-- Poonurse
Poonurse is an RN with 25 years experience in labor and delivery. Her qualifications include seeing a lot of poop, and owning a computer. Also, she works in Michigan, which she calls the asshole of the universe, so that's another bit of credibility.
Got a question
15 Comments on "dull stomach pain, lots of poop"
are you hot?
Sounds like IBS.
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
My 5 year old son has been (off and onhis whole short life) had terrible pain just before and during potty/pooping. I have always thought it was just gas pains, but lately there have been times when I think it is getting worse and that there is perhaps a real medical problem. I know... see a doctor and ok, but for now in the real world I would like some input because lets face it, until I pester him for the next 6 months he will pat me on the head and send me away.... then the tests, etc. So, please let me know if there is a chronic gas prior to pooping syndrome that can be researched. So far Chrone's is the only thing that pops up...
you might have poop in your stomach and it might be backed up so you need to get that out (enema) go to te docter get an x-ray to see whats really wrong
Why is it that once my gallbladder came out I am poopong everytime I eat. I have to be near a restroom. If not I have an accident in my pants. This has been going on now for 12 years.
I have irritation in my stomach...and I have a total lose of appetite as well as unsolidified poop...and when I do poop it's small and never a long steady movement..It feels like my stomach is in the back of my throat..and it slightly burns...I'm also experiencing fatigue and generally warn down. and on top of all these problems when I vomit it brown and seriously smells like poop...the only thing I can think of is that my previously girlfriend was unclean and she was sleeping around and having unprotected sex with a bisexual man. I feel acid burning all through my stomach..and my waste Oder is getting worse and it's very repulsive. please help me, I'm only 20 and I don't know what to do about how I feel or why I feel this way when I have only been with one person and have a cleanly O.C.D.. thank you
I have pain on the right side of my abdomen when pooping that lasts for hours or days after large stools. Should I be worried?
I poop like 6 times daily, 3 before work, 2 at work, and once befor bed. I don't eat much and sleep 7 hrs a day. Not to much strees and evey morning I have major bad stomach aches, this has been on going for about 8 years, any one know what this might be?
Spicy food mixed with a steady dosage of Motrin, not a good idea! My lower abdomen feels like its going to burst. Gotta go! Try dring water while on the pot, works for my wife.
Eat a pound of bing cherries in one sitting and see if that will result in a quicker exodus.
There is a possibility you could just have a disfunctional bowel. Some people these days rely on laxatives or stool softeners to go to the toilet. And I've heard that it can happen at any age! Scary huhh??? Try coloxyl and senna to maybe help soften the stool if you can't poop or a laxative otr even more naturally???? A fibre supplement like metamucil! Fibre is the key too solving chunky hard poops!!!
My daughter just turned 1 years old and since she's been pooping bigger than usual that it hurts her to push and it also makes her bleed. Can you please tell me what could possibly be the cause of this?
sinlove1127, The health of a precious one year old should rely on the opinion of a medical doctor rather than that of a poop humor site. Get that child to a doctor, yesterday!
Dirty old men need love too!!
If I had two faces do you think I'd be wearing this one?
I went to the doctor and they said it looks like i have poop in my stomach do you know wat can be the cause? And how do i get it out?
When I was 5 I weighed 25 lbs due to being told I was diagnosed with cronz disease, I'm now 17 and just facing with i.b.s, it is a constant battle with food every day, I can't eat breakfast because it tears me up like my stomach just isn't awake yet, alongside with I.b.s come with lactose n tolerent. Whenever you poop and you feel worn out its because you have pooped put all the things your body needs to make you feel good, this is a result in you stomach working so fast and the body can't absorbe the goods

Jenna Jameson has a night out
Jenna Jameson attended the premiere of The Bucket List in L.A. Afterwards she hit up Club Hyde where she signed autographs for fans before heading home. That's all well and good, but I can't get over how sexy her legs are. Her tattoos blend right in with the varicose veins. It's like something out of a dream where you're making love to a decaying mummy. But the mummy has lots of makeup and breast implants, so it's a really romantic dream that you can tell your girlfriend about over breakfast.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I believe I can help you with your concern
Please give me a couple minutes to read over your question carefully to assist you better
I am so sorry that you have been experiencing these symptoms, I can imagine how distressing this is for you
What you are actually describing is most likely Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which is not uncommon for your occupation. Medications are not typically a cure for PTSD, but they can lessen the symptoms greatly for you, although therapy is the only true way to cure it
I can recommend some good therapy techniques and medications you can ask your prescribing physician about if you like.
By the way PTSD is usually mix of anxiety and depression, but your symptoms seem more anxiety related. Here is a good link describing PTSD in more detail for you
So these techniques take root in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is the most evidence based treatment for PTSD. CBT has a premise that your symptoms are caused by negative thoughts, so if we change your thought process to be more positive and objective as well, then your symptoms will lessen.
So this link may help you, it contains a technique I use with patients called a thought record. It will help him keep track of any negative thoughts he has. He puts the negative thought on paper, the emotion accompanying, the evidence to support it, and the evidence against it. Then I want him to come up with an alternative thought for the situation (more objective and plausible). This will help him change his way of thinking to be able to think more positive and not automatically go to a negative type of thinking.
In addition, these two worksheets are very good at helping lessen PTSD symptoms. It can help you focus on the big picture and the objective/positive thoughts and outcomes.
Also individuals with symptoms of PTSD have a poor coping mechanism, so this worksheet will help you develop a better coping strategy to manage your symptoms better.
In addition these books can be helpful as well
Now regarding medication, Valium is very good and it is a benzodiazepine, so this can be physically addicting if you take it too often, which is why you want to take it as needed. But in addition, you may also want a SSRI antidepressant to take regularly. I would recommend Lexapro at 10-20mg as it is fast acting, more effective than most antidepressants, has great anti-anxiety effects, and has less side effects.
But for a complete list of appropriate medications, I will suggest this link.
So the combination of medication and CBT therapy is the best treatment protocol to "cure" these symptoms for a sustained period of time.
Also the Valium is the easiest of the benzodiazepines to not be physically addicted to as well, so it is good to start with that if you choose to use a benzodiazepine
Do you have any questions or concerns?
Ok would I go to my doctor or a specialist?
You can get this from your general practitioner, but if you would like a specialist you can go to a psychiatrist although it is not necessary
The reason I ask about the medication is because I already work shift work and have a horrible sleep schedule, but lately my off nights sleeping at home have been just as bad with the flashbacks. I'm having another baby soon and I don't want to be so phyisally and mentally drained that it further affects my family.
Then the benzodiazepine will help with your sleep as it has a sedation effect and will prevent the flashbacks to help you sleep too, so take it before you fall asleep.
The SSRI antidepressants do not cause you to fall asleep and actually can disrupt sleep, so you want to take that during the daytime
I always get nervous asking for a specific medication because I don't want the doctor to think the wrong thing.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't think the doc has enough time to hear everything that is making this happen but I want him to understand that things are just not OK anymore
I understand, well discuss what you told me about your friend and co-worker who suggested Valium, that is a good approach and then describe your symptoms and what your job is. There should be no difficulty getting the benzodiazepine with those explanations. And the SSRI antidepressant are not addictive at all, so there is no worries there
Your doctor is there for you, so explain your symptoms and that you believe that you have symptoms of PTSD and you would like some medications to augment the therapy techniques that I recommended.
Ok thank you. Now I know where to start and that is a big help
Anytime, is there anything else I can help you with?
No I think that is all for now. Thanks again
I am happy that I was able to help you tonight. I wish you the best with your treatment and I hope that your symptoms resolve soon. My goal is to provide you with excellent service, so if you ever have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at anytime. Before you sign off though, I would very much appreciate if you could rate my performance in helping you so that I can get credit for this question. Thank you very much
Absolutely, will do!
Thank you it is much appreciated :)

George Culmer, the new finance director of part-nationalised Lloyds Banking Group, is in line for a salary and perks package worth up to £6m after three years, it has emerged.
His total remuneration includes compensation of close to £2m for forfeiting a bonus at his previous employer, the insurance company RSA.
The pay of senior executives at Lloyds and rival Royal Bank of Scotland has come under intense political and public scrutiny since the government bailed out both banks to the tune of £66bn during the 2008 financial crisis.
RBS boss Stephen Hester agreed to forgo his bonus after an outcry that led to heated exchanges in the House of Commons and tensions in the RBS boardroom.
Lloyds, which is 40% owned by the taxpayer, said Culmer, 49, would take up his position on 16 May and receive an annual salary of £720,000, as well as a discretionary annual bonus worth up to a maximum of 200% of his salary.
The appointment brings to an end a drawn-out process in trying to agree a start date for Culmer, who was required to work a 12-month notice period for RSA.
In addition, Culmer is eligible for a long-term performance share award of up to 225% of his salary for 2012, which would vest in full in three years' time if he meets his targets.
He will also get an allowance to fund personal pension arrangements worth 25% of his salary, taking his potential annual pay, bonus and benefits to £4m.
On top of that, Lloyds will compensate Culmer for deferred awards and a cash bonus he will forfeit after quitting RSA by giving him £1.9m worth of shares, which vest in 2013 and 2014.
Culmer agreed to join Lloyds at the end of last year but has been involved in difficult negotiations with RSA over when he could legally begin his new role.
The previous finance boss at Lloyds, Tim Tookey, left the company last week to take on the same role at insurer Resolution, leaving Lloyds with a gaping hole in its boardroom in March and April.
But Lloyds said members of chief executive António Horta-Osório's finance team would plug the gap until Culmer's arrival in mid-May.
"We look forward to him joining us in time for our annual meeting on 17 May," said Lloyds chairman Win Bischoff.
Horta-Osório returned to work last month after a two-month absence brought on in October when he could not sleep for five days and was diagnosed as suffering from exhaustion.
But after unveiling Lloyds figures last week that showed a loss in 2011 of £3.5bn, he joked he was now sleeping "like a baby", and was looking forward to returning the bank to rude financial health.
Horta-Osório asked not to be considered for a bonus for 2011 partly because of his absence but also, he said, because of "the tough financial circumstances that many people are facing".
On Friday, he said the prolonged low interest rate environment would mean some key targets would not be met on time, but that the bank would benefit from a faster than expected reduction in impairment charges in 2012. The outlook was "not a profit warning", just "realistic" about the economy, where he expects house prices to be "broadly flat" for the next two years, with "fairly modest" growth in the economy in the second half of 2012.
