Former Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic, under detention at the Hague in connection with murder,
deportation and genocide charges, says he�s under drastically increased
pressure to recognize the Hague Tribunal.
In three appearances before the
tribunal, Milosevic refused to plead to the indictments against him, and
refused to appoint lawyers, arguing the tribunal, and his detention, are
And now Milosevic�s Belgrade lawyer,
Dragoslav Ognjanovic says that strong spotlights have been left on all
night in Milosevic�s cell, a subtle form of torture.
Why is Milosevic being deprived of
And why is the former Yugoslav
president denied access to the media? After doing an interview with
American media, Milosevic was reprimanded by Hague authorities, and
warned against further breaches of rules that prevent the former
president from talking to the press.
Why won't the Hague Tribunal allow
Milosevic to conduct his own defense?
And why is Milosevic's microphone
cut-off when he appears before the tribunal?
The usual reply is that Milosevic
would make a mockery of the proceedings. And if given access to the
media he would have a platform to spout nonsense. But surely, if it�s
nonsense he�ll spout, let him. Nonsense will be obvious for what it is,
and the press will soon grow tired of it. But another answer seems more
likely: Maybe it�s not nonsense Milosevic has to speak. And maybe
Milosevic�s being allowed to conduct his own defense would expose the
tribunal for what it is -- a mockery of justice.
Augusto Pinochet, dictator, murderer,
goes free. Ariel Sharon, architect of the Sabra and Shatilla massacres,
ethnic cleanser, and war criminal, presides over the commission of fresh
war crimes as prime minister of Israel. War criminals Henry Kissinger
and Bill Clinton make a king's ransom from speaking engagements.
Meanwhile, we're showered with absurdities from the US foreign policy
establishment connected Human Rights Watch about war criminals having
nowhere to hide, Milosevic being the signal case.
The hypocrisy is plain, if the case
is made, but who makes the case? People on the margins, heard by few.
But what if someone like Milosevic, who, if allowed to speak to the
media, reached countless numbers? He�d have a platform to make the case,
if the tribunal�s rules didn�t gag him. And maybe that�s why he�s
Washington and London have always
been afraid of their own people hearing the other side. During NATO�s
78-day terror campaign against Yugoslavia, Serb Radio-TV, which carried
a different view of the bombing than delivered by the complicit and
tightly controlled Western press, was deliberately bombed, a blatant war
crime. British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that Milosevic�s
propaganda machine had to be taken out. What he meant was that NATO had
to control the public relations agenda.
Weeks ago, US bombers took out Al
Jazeera in Afghanistan, for the same reason -- it threatened
Washington�s control over what the public saw and heard and understood.
Al Jazeera offered something other than the tightly controlled and
scripted US take on the war against Afghanistan. Control the story, and
you control the hearts and minds of the public. Give people like
Milosevic and the Afghans carried on Al-Jazeera a platform, and the
carefully crafted complex of lies may fall apart.
As to the nonsense about war
criminals having nowhere to hide, they do. Behind a Security Council
veto, for one. And behind a compliant press, whose deafness, dumbness
and blindness owes much to Chauvinism, and the fact that letting the
White House, State Department, and Pentagon write your copy is a good
business model. Keeps cost down.
Up to now, Milosevic has been under
indictment for murder and deportation, in connection with events in
Kosovo. The White House and State Department and Pentagon, and yes, the
media too, tried, and convicted Milosevic of committing genocide in
Kosovo. There were 100,000 missing and presumed dead. Then 10,000. Then
forensic pathologists turned up only 2,000 corpses, none in mass graves,
their identities (were they ethnic Albanian Kosovars?) uncertain. Then
doubts arose about the authenticity of the Racak massacre, the casus
belli for terrorizing Yugoslavia with bombs for 78 days. And then the
indictment came, and with it, no charge of genocide.
Now, in new indictments, Milosevic is
charged with genocide in connection with earlier wars in Croatia and
Bosnia. It�s as if the tribunal had come up with the charge first and
has worked backwards from there. Now that we�ve made the charge, we�ll
need the evidence to make it stick.
Genocide? In what connection has that
word been uttered before? East Timor. That genocide was carried out by a
pal of Washington�s, the dictator Suharto, right under Washington�s nose
and with its full approval. Nothing as insignificant as genocide was
going to stand in the way of US businesses turning handsome profits in
an Indonesia known as an "investor's paradise," "hell" being more
frequently uttered by those who have to work there. And yet there was no
indictment. Earlier, Suharato had arranged for the systematic killing of
between 500,000 and one million communists, while Washington checked off
the names. No indictment for that crime either.
Iraq. Over the last decade, US
enforced sanctions of mass destruction have killed over one million
Iraqis. That�s a genocide. Will the perpetrators be held accountable?
No. They wield a Security Council veto.
The Security Council set up the Hague
Tribunal, which means Security Council members, some of which committed
brazen war crimes in their 78-day terror campaign against Yugoslavia,
will never be indicted, unless you assume the tribunal�s prosecutors are
going to indict their bosses who appointed them.
An International Criminal Court,
which would obviate the Security Council striking tribunals, and allow
anyone to be indicted, won't do the trick either. Washington won't agree
to it, unless Americans are given blanket immunity from prosecution, or
Washington controls who�s indicted.
And it also means that war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and genocides, committed by permanent members
of the Security Council and their allies, will never be the subject of a
tribunal. Handy, isn't it?
So, this is what we get as justice.
Washington backs fascist elements in Croatia and Islamists in Bosnia and
Kosovo connected to Osama bin Laden, the Yugoslav federation spins apart
under the pressure of the centrifugal forces nurtured by Security
Council members, and the Serbs, at the center of the opposition, are
branded the new Nazis, and are brought before a Security Council created
tribunal to answer for crimes against humanity by the very forces that
set in motion the descent into war and terrorism and chaos, and now,
growing poverty.
Justice? How about its very

I had radiesse done on my cheeks for some more volume. When radiesse dissolves completely will my skin be stretched out and cause my skin to sag? I don't want to keep on getting fillers because I was just curious and trying it out.
Will my Cheeks Sag After Radiesse Dissappears?
Doctor Answers 8
Will my Cheeks Sag After Radiesse Disappears?
No, I perform quite a few Cheek Augmentations with Radiesse or Perlane (I prefer Perlane) but either temporary filler will not sufficiently stretch the cheek tissues enough to cause any change once it is absorbed by the body. The cheeks will not sag but go back to their original size and shape.
Learn more: http://www.drfpalmer.com/radiesse-injections.html
Radiesse in the cheeks
Radiesse will stimulate your skin to slightly tighten (less sag long term) in addition to filling hollows (short term). It will not stretch skin and make it sag. That being said, you may need to continue with fillers over time to account for the continue aging process, which introduces new wrinkles. The new wrinkles, however, would not be from the Radiesse.
Will my Cheeks Sag After Radiesse Dissappears
No, the fillers are injected into the tissue under the skin, re-volumizing this area. They don't stretch out the skin, so should you wait for your filler simply to go away and not have anymore done, you will return to the way it was before.

Will my Cheeks Sag After Radiesse Disappears?
In general, fillers such as Radiesse will produce a temporary increase in volume and skin tautness, but an increase in skin laxity after dissolution is typically not observed.
Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Radiesse to cheeks
Good question. Radiesse is a class of fillers different from the Hyaluronic Acid (HA) types. It contains Calcium Hydroxyaptite mixed with a gel carrier and has been shown to last longer after injection when compared to the HA injectables. It is a good volumizer, and therefor a great option for building cheeks. I have great success in adding volume to cheeks with my patients using this product. While no fillers are permanent, Radiesse is supposed to stimulate patients own collagen and keep the effect of the filler after it is metabolized. Your face will likely still gradually lose volume as the material is metabolized, but it should not be dramatic. It's completely up to you, at that point, if you choose to fill again. Hope this helps! -Dr. Boris.
Will my Cheeks Sag After Radiesse Dissappears?
Not in my experience, or to my knowledge. The amount of fill typically achieved with injectable products, such as Radiesse or the HA's, is not enough, and is too diffuse, to stretch out the skin to any appreciable degree. It might be different with cheek implants (eventually) but I am not aware of this as an issue with injectable fillers.
I hope that this helps and good luck,
Dr. E

Will my cheeks sag after Radiesse disappears?
When the Radiesse dissolves, your skin will not sag. You will look the same as you did prior to receiving the treatment. I hope this helps answer your question, and I wish you the best of luck.

Will Cheeks Sag After Radiesse?
You cheeks should not sag after the Radiesse goes away. They should go back to their original presentation, maybe look even more youthful. You still may need to continue with fillers over time if you like the way the filler looks.

Given some airtime free of former Labor leaders,
Any momentum
Gillard tried to capitalise on the poll results by returning to the traditional Labor strength of education.
Campaigning in Perth – a state where Labor needs to make up ground, she launched a policy that would reward schools that could demonstrate improvements in student learning, and gave a more confident performance in an appearance on ABC's Q&A in Adelaide that night.
Abbott campaigned in Brisbane at the Ekka Show where he gave out awards to the best Jersey cows, but the real action was in Canberra where
An apparent difference in costings of some $8 billion between Abbott and Hockey, however, was seized on by Labor before the Coalition moved to clear up the confusion later in the day.
Labor released an attack ad featuring former treasurer
Costello cried foul, calling on Labor to remove the ad, claiming it was deceitful, ensuring only that the ad was run free in prime-time news that night.
Tuesday saw the focus firmly return to economics with a report that a confidential Treasury analysis had found an $800 million hole in the savings the Coalition would realise if it scrapped the government's broadband network.
The Coalition immediately called for an inquiry into the leaks, threatening to withhold putting any further policies to Treasury for costing.
Tuesday saw the Prime Minister campaigning with
Abbott seized on another asylum seeker boat arrival while campaigning in Sydney at a press conference called to detail the success of opposition immigration spokesman
Morrison secured agreement to reopen a reprocessing centre should the Coalition win government.
Coalition communications spokesman
After the government's national broadband network was panned as a costly spending binge without a cost-benefit analysis, the Coalition's plan is now being panned as cheap and slow.
The economic debate also intensified with an audit questioning whether the stimulus had spurred growth as quickly as Labor claimed, undermining its jobs growth claims.
Gillard travelled to Sydney on Wednesday to announce a Labor government would stump up $2.1 billion, its biggest spending promise so far, to fund a rail link from Epping in north-west Sydney to Paramatta in Sydney's west.
Labor hopes this will boost the result in the marginal seat of Bennelong, held by
She was accused of stealing Coalition policies when she revealed a plan to pay relocation expenses for unemployed people willing to move.
For the first time in the campaign proper, the two leaders almost crossed paths to appear separately before 200 undecided voters at Rooty Hill RSL in western Sydney.
On Thursday, the Australian Federal Police said they would consider an investigation into the $800 million Treasury leak.
Gillard travelled to Tasmania to push the button on the national broadband network – yet again.
Meanwhile, Abbott promised to improve benefits for war veterans at a launch in Sydney's west.

By Friday, both leaders were back slugging it out over education and training as they prepared for the final week in the campaign.

Charlotte Jones, 23, was waiting for a boat on a beach on the island of Rachatai, south of Phuket, when huge sea surges struck on Boxing Day.
She is thought to be the only tourist from her group still unaccounted for.
Her mother Liz left the family home in Petersfield, Hampshire, on Tuesday to fly out to look for her daughter, who was on a round-the-world adventure.
Charlotte's father Alan, a 57-year-old management consultant, is at home with the couple's other daughter, 18-year-old Victoria.
He said: "My wife could not wait. It's impossible to get through on the emergency lines.
"We are praying for a miracle but every day that goes by, realistically, we think she is lost. It's becoming quite gloomy.
"This is so difficult. Nobody should have to go through this.
"She is, apparently, the only one missing from that island."
The family last heard from Charlotte, a Bristol University graduate, when she rang on Christmas Day.

…that Obama is just a good old-fashioned anti-Catholic bigot. The only Catholics he seems to like are the sort who hate the Catholic Church and want to destroy it. His treatment of Poles is consistently suffused with a winning combination of ignorance and contempt.
It's hard to avoid the impression…
Related posts from Catholic and Enjoying It!:

I don't know…much as I dislike Obama, I think he is more of an ugly American type, ignorant of history and politics outside of the U.S. in re. to this story. That said, Walesa is no longer as popular a figure in Poland after his foray into politics.
Obama is a vindictive sore-loser who uses immature passive aggression against any of thkse he perceives as his enemies. Slave-trading Brits were sent back their bust of Churchill by the self identifying victim son of black oppression. Walesa injured the socialist state, so comrade Obama has a felt need to return injury. Walesa should know better than to be seen in the company of a socialist tyrant, but since he seems to misunderstand what Obama is, God is protecting him (Walesa) by hardening the heart of Obama. I like His mysterious yet obvious ways. Dad is a master of paradox and irony.
- Marion (Mael Muire)
I think that for Obama, Walesa's odiousness is due not so much his Catholicism but to his role in having helped to destroy the socialist state in Poland and by extension, in having played a part in the collapse of the former Soviet empire.
Radical socialists like Obama, who loathe the principles of freedom we enjoy here in the United States, looked to the former USSR as a model for the lines along which our own country should be reformed ("Change!"). They now view the USSR as a dim and distant dream of bygone glory days; now the USSR's model has, for them, been supplanted by that of the Peoples' Republic of China.
This makes Walesa, in Obama's book, not a freedom-fighter, but a traitor, a saboteur, an Enemy of the People. He is the Mordred who destroyed the Camelot of Socialism in Europe.
That's why Obama won't go near him.
- Ted Seeber
If that is so, then why has Obama produced so little change?
Look at Obamacare- it took a health care system where socialist capitalists had grabbed all control- and gave the same group of socialist capitalists even MORE control. Capitalism and socialism are not opposites- they're the same 500 lb coin that the ruling class used to beat you down with.
- Marion (Mael Muire)
"why has Obama produced so little change?"
The U.S. Presidency, while a seat of extraordinary power, is neither an overlordship nor a dictatorship. The advance of the agenda which Mr. Obama and his associates advocate has, thankfully, been impeded to a certain extent by the operation of countervailing power sources: Congress, the courts, the financial system, the more moderate wings of both political parties, political lobbies, business and not-for-profit interests, and the mood of the American electorate.
I am not using socialism in its strictly classically technical sense. Mr. Obama is an advocate of Big Government. Whether, if he were made dictator, he would continue to allow at least a semblance of private ownership of the means of production, is an open question. That, if he had the power, he would tomorrow shut down all church-based universities, schools, hospitals, and assistance programs, and replace them with Big Government-run hospitals, schools, and social service agency, is, to me, a given. And that he would, if he could, close and disperse all religious institutions whose theology did not conform to Political Correctness, is also a given.
Luckily, he simply doesn't have the power to do these things. Yet. I hope neither he nor his cronies ever will acquire such power.
- Mark R
The Solidarity in movement was not anti-socialist in it's essence. The brain power behind the movement were mostly former Communists, but their intent was to make the Communist party in Poland have a position similar to the Queen's in England. History unravelled faster than Solidarity intended in Russia's reform movement under Gorbachev. He was a Communist, but we owe him a lot of thanks for loosening things up so the former satellite countries could have more wiggle room. No one in Poland at the time of Solidarity and immediately after wanted to do away with the welfare state features of socialism. Solidarity's role was to end the economic and cultural hegemony of the Polish United Workers' Party (the Communists) and to allow free trade unions to have a share in economic and cultural matters hitherto dominated by Communists. I don't think most people in the United States really know what socialism is, including their president.

Whether you love it or hate it, there's no escaping it – World Cup fever has gripped the globe.
And while some of us might be putting our fingers in our ears, scrunching our eyes shut and waiting for the final whistle, one writer of children's football novels can't get enough of it, and has even written another book especially for it.
Dan Freedman, from Mill Hill, is the author of the highly successful Jamie Johnson series, about a teenage footballer and his quest to make it to the top. We met Jamie for the last time two years ago when, aged 19, he was about to transfer to the best club in the world.
But last year, with the rhythms of Brazil already beginning to pound in football fans' ears, Dan was inspired to bring Jamie back to tell another part of his story – before his journey to success started.
"In Skills from Brazil, we go back to Jamie when he's 11 years old," explains Dan, "he's in the final year of primary school and this new boy, Rafael, comes to his school from Brazil. He and Jamie develop a friendship and Rafael invites Jamie to come to Brazil during half term."
On his trip, Jamie gets to learn about this fascinating country, plays football on the beach and is trained by a footballing master.
"He brings all this learning and these skills back to England, back to the school playground," says Dan, "and it's the first step on the journey that eventually takes him on to become a legend."
The book was released at the end of May and, thanks to the World Cup, is already the best received of all the seven Jamie Johnson books.
For all of his books, Dan has drawn on his experience working as a journalist for the FA, the Premier League and FIFA and, most importantly for Skills from Brazil, from his time living with the England team at the 2002 and 2006 World Cup tournaments.
"I even had my own squad number," he laughs, "number 62. The players' numbers go from one to 23, and I did start to imagine what would happen if there was a virus which affected the whole squad – would I get to make my international debut!"
In his role as in-house journalist for the FA, Dan was the first person to interview a 17-year-old Wayne Rooney, during the 2003 European Championship qualifiers, regularly played pool with Rooney and Rio Ferdinand, and was constantly on the road and in the company of the likes of Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen, Gary Neville, and John Terry, many of whom have endorsed his Jamie Johnson books.
From his time with the England team, Dan knows exactly what our boys will be going through in Brazil in the lead-up to our opening game against Italy on Saturday.
"This week will be very, very hard training for them and then they'll ease off, and it'll be a case of wrapping them up in cotton wool. And in the hotel, they'll be trying to relax, but it's very difficult."
What does Dan make of England's chances in the tournament?
"It's a really interesting one because it's a very difficult group, with Italy and Uruguay, so if we got knocked out in the group stage it wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world – but it would be a disaster.
"But at the same time, young players like Adam Lallana from Southampton, Raheem Sterling from Liverpool and Ross Barkley from Everton could potentially have a really big impact because they've got no fear, they've got no pressure on them because nobody really expects anything, so they could give us a bit of momentum and we could maybe get through the groups and through to the quarter finals – and maybe even further."

Artist in His Studio
The composition owes an unmistakable debt to Rembrandt's A Young Painter in His Studio. The monochromatic palette enlivened by a swath of greenish blue, the unmodulated application of paint, and the strong chiaroscuro are common to both paintings. Dou's artist, like Rembrandt's, holds palette and brushes, while the easel faces away from the viewer. Neither Dou nor Rembrandt depicts a particular individual but offers a generic representation of "The Painter."
Differences in the two masters' compositions are indicative of their contrasting approaches to art. Rembrandt dramatizes his scene by focusing on a few essential compositional elements, while Dou includes numerous objects to enrich the pictorial effect. Rembrandt's painter -- his face in shadow -- is dwarfed by a looming easel that dominates an otherwise barely furnished space. Dou lavishes equal attention on the painter, who gazes directly at the viewer, and the still-life components, offering a convincing and beautiful rendering of an abundance of surfaces and materials.

OK, that sounds a bit over the top for a site with SEO in its name so I'll clarify. I did not mean Search Engine Optimization, as we know it, is dead. Nor did I mean to say that SEO has become Search Engine Marketing, Online Marketing or anything else. No, what I meant was, SEO is finished, kaput, sleeping with the fishes, in a word, DEAD!
I came to the realization while preparing for my 2000th post in our forum. As a person who has never considered himself an SEO, I began to wonder how I managed to reach this milestone. Certainly many of my posts qualify as off topic or mindless drivel. Nevertheless, buried in the slag heap there have been a few gems. And some of those gems have been valuable to our members as they pursue SE… umm, whatever it is they do.
And, that's my point. Nobody here does SEO.
What we do is run forums and businesses, promote products and services, and provide information and entertainment. Few of us actually have SEO in our job titles (and those who do are constantly explaining to potential clients that Search Engine Optimization really isn't Search Engine Optimization anymore). Calling ourselves SEOs is a bit like referring to truckers as teamsters in spite of the fact that they've never seen a mule team.
I almost believe it was top ten lists. That, instead of optimizing our sites, we were searching for that elusive tenth item to complete a blog post that should have ended with seven. Nevertheless, I find the format irresistible, so here's my list of the Ten Things that Killed SEO:
Which of those rules won't apply if Google disappears tomorrow? How are they different from what you would tell an aspiring (offline) newspaper reporter? SEO rules are mostly common sense. Unfortunately, common sense isn't easy to program into an algorithm, not even for Google.
What we have in common is not SEO but the fact that we live large portions of our lives online building websites, communities and businesses. We'd like to be better at it and we'd like more people to discover what we've created. So we're here asking questions about design, coding, servers, business, installing blogs, managing forums, writing haiku, and – occasionally – Google.
We could call ourselves "unstable people hanging out on a – relatively – stable server†but SEO Refugees is catchier and more to the point. We have, after all, escaped the mindset that our success is dictated by Google's results and landed on an island that celebrates what we achieve, whether it's a pastor's blog, a Vista forum or just a bunch of random crap online.
There is definitely a lot of food for thought there. Your point about search only being good for old news, like history, is very accurate. Social sites are the future. Google rankings are a biproduct of other types of effective marketing.
Search engines have been social sites ever since they started paying attention to links from other sites. Linking is a social activity, as is the choice of link text to go with that link.
I have SEO in the domain name of my blog, and it the name of my business. At some point, I may start claiming that SEO stands for "Social Engine Optimization."
SEO strictly speaking is web site development with the goal of getting indexed and ranking well in the search results generated by an algorithm. It is sort of like painting your cattle orange during the hunting season. And there are algorithms doing ranking and scoring all over the place, even at social media sites. As long as there is a benefit understanding and adapting to various algoritms then SEO will be very much alive.
According to a Google engineer I have talked to they are working on better indexing unindexable content, you better expect alot from Google in the future.
And search is not old news, people search more than ever. Search is getter ever more important, and hopefully better with the move towards more personalized results. Some time in the future in the age of "Web 3.0" we might even have personal agents doing searching for us.
Get your site ranked #1 on the engines for an active phrase or phrases and see how much it means.
Social networks are also great…but don't stop doing seo.
Great post Pops. Not that I agree… but I wouldn't exactly disagree either. I've always held SEO is a school of thought and is part of the larger marketing world.
But is it dead?
And link bait is all about SE rankings. The social sites send tons on nonconverting traffic but the links you pick up lead to the rankings that lead the interested prospect to your site to purchase your (product, service, whatever).
SEO evolves but the principles remain the same – rank well for convertable traffic. The tactics change but the goal remains the same.
Before social media was reciprovcal linking. Before that, paid sitewide links. Before our time was keyword stuffing and keyword ratios. Before that was meta tag stuffing.
Anyway, good post. It's a thinker.
Just FYI, the optimization part of SEO has been dead :) Optimization or not, you can rank well.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to rank number one in Google for a key term. I just think the focus of what you're all doing has moved well past focusing on Google and just web search.
To me the profession formerly know as SEO no longer revolves around Google. And, while the news that SERPs are shifting, elicits joy from a few and tears from a few more, the majority of the community gives a collective yawn and goes back to reading their RSS feeds.
I'm honored to be the first example link in the article. Thank you. :)
Your article is thoroughly considered and brilliantly composed. It analyzes the specific activities of those involved and provides worthwhile insight into the precision of the tasks. This article is an example of both SEO and non-SEO design. It uses a link-bait style title, provides quality content, and advances a new perspective in a fairly new field.
Very well done!
to be honest i would be happy ranking in google for any term.
i suppose i could make up one of those random nonsense keywords so that i could rank number 1 for just one thing but it just wouldnt be the same as having number 1 spot for say microsoft or ebay :-)
SEO is not dead, it is just changing like it always has been since 1995.
Its really a very good post. Deep study of Seo. I m agree with you. Today peoples are preffering social networking sites for their need. But its just a trend. Search engine is forever. After some time all social networking sites will be known as Spam full sites. That's what my mind say.
I first started reading, kept reading, waiting for a punch line. First, I do think social networking will be here a while and it will grow but so will the search. The internet populace is growing everyday – most people haven't even heard of social networking but dang near everyone knows Google. For the competitive search terms the sites on the first page (at least) have implimented sound SEO practices – they only remain at the top by keeping up with algo changes and tweeks in application made by those who figured things out (the best anyone can) and decided to share the info. I think what is dead is the website design only companies – they better get a hold of sound SEO principles. Amazing how many don't even know what the h tag is…
Why not come out and say Google is dead? For lots of reasons I like the sound of that.
Who came up with the term SEO anyways? We aren't optimizing search engines. If anything it should be called Rank Manipulation because really that's all SEO is about.
Fundamentally SEO is about targeted traffic. Targeted traffic brings sales and profits. Call it what you want,, seo, sem, smo… it's all the same stuff.
I completely agree. More appropriate than "SEO is dead" is "Google is Dead". SEO is basically meant for PR jumps (for most of us). as Jeff says…it's rather Search Engine Manipulation

10-day Fayette County Fair begins
Bill Jackson, president of the Fayette County Fair Board, is predicting that more than 100,000 people will attend the 10-day event if the weather cooperates this year.
"We've flirted with 100,000 people a few times in the past, but we've never made it," Jackson said on Thursday just moments before the opening ceremonies of the 59th annual Fayette County Fair.
"Weather permitting, we should be pretty close this year," he added, indicating that all of the fair's popular events will be returning this year. Those include monster trucks, motocross and three demolition derbies.
"We're really excited that The Clarks will be playing tomorrow night (Friday)," he said. "Parmalee, a popular country band, will also be featured. The Hubcaps, an oldies band, will take the stage on Sunday night. Closing night will feature Hillbilly Way, which includes several members of the well-known country band, the Povertyneck Hillbillies."
Although the names of the performers change every year, Jackson said, the fair format remains the same.
During the opening ceremony, he told the crowd that the first night of last year's fair began with a tornado warning and severe thunderstorms.
"We're very excited about tonight's weather," he said on Thursday. "We haven't had an opening night that has been this nice in years. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this is a sign that we're going to have great weather this year."
Catherine Work, a 12-year-old 4-H Club member from Uniontown, sang the national anthem.
"4-H is a big part of the fair," Jackson said. "I don't think people realize that the fair is made up of a lot of volunteers. We also have volunteer fair board members and elected officials who work to make this event a success every year."
State Sen. Rich Kasunic, D-Dunbar, believes the Fayette County Fair is the best one in Pennsylvania.
"The volunteers work year-round to make this event a success," Kasunic said. "I hope everyone has a great time at this year's fair that offers something for everybody. This is something we should be proud of. Hopefully, there will be no rain for the next 10 days."
The county's agriculture is the main focus of the fair, Jackson said.
"We do have a lot of food and entertainment, but the most important part of the fair is to get people to come out to learn something about the local agriculture," he said.
Boots Heatherington of the state Department of Agriculture said each of the 109 fairs held across Pennsylvania annually is different.
"The fairs provide top-notch shows," he said. "The state provides operational funding for each of the fairs."
Although the state has cut funding for the fairs in recent years, Heatherington said, the June 30 budget adopted by the state Legislature restored funding from $2 million to $3 million — the funding that existed prior to the budget cuts.
Heatherington presented Jackson with a check for $21,558.60 for this year's fair and indicated Fayette County would receive a check for $29,000 next year.
Jack Cooper, 84, a longtime fair volunteer, was selected as the Outstanding Fair Ambassador for this year's event, Heatherington said.
"Jack has done a great job with the fair over the years," he said. "He has served as the poultry superintendent. He is the first guy in the gate in the morning, and he helps the young guys get moving."

Where can I find the castle of sand?
Need help in level 2 to find the heart in the castle of sand?
fluffey - 8 years ago
Climb up from level 1.
OrIok - 7 years ago
Go to the main tower in Timberdale (world 1). When you get to the gap in the skinny platform segment and walk slowly off into the gap. You will land on one of 2 platforms. Jump to the other then hit the button above it will open a secret passage by the end of the skinny platform segment. You can climb along the bottom of the skinny platform or get back on top and do some fancy jumping to enter it. You will come out at the bottom of the castle of sand in Dragonreach (world 2).
If you dont know how to get to the Timberdale tower you go behind the waterfall by Darby's house. When you get to the cave walk toward the back into a large room with a big portal. (There are no secrets in the portal room, as far as I know.) Head through the portal and then the door straight ahead. You will be in the Timberdale tower.

Doctor insights on:
Can A Benign Thyroid Nodule Become Cancerous
Might a benign thyroid nodule someday become a cancer?
Not 100%: If the nodule is still in your neck, there is no way to know that it is 100% benign. Even if you had a biopsy before and it came back benign, there is still a chance that the spot of cancer was missed during the first biopsy. This is why we don't "poo poo" it away after 1 biopsy but continue to follow the thyroid nodule to monitor for size changes. All said, the risk of cancer is very small. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Cancer (Definition)
Cancer is a group of diseases that is characterized by uncontrolled cell growth leading to invasion of surrounding tissues that spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can begin anywhere in the body and is usually related to one or more genetic mutations that allow normal cells to become malignant by interfering with internal cellular control mechanisms, such as programmed cell death or by preventing ...Read more
Can benign thyroid nodule turn cancerous?
No: Thyroid nodules need to be fully evaluated, with ultrasound and bloodwork. Usually an endocrinologist is involved. A biopsy or fine needle aspiration is sometimes done. It is unlikely that a proven benign thyroid nodule will become cancerous. ...Read more
Male with dominant homogenous solid thyroid nodule in midpoint that measures 1.1x1.3x1.7. Does this indicate a high cancer risk? Are most benign?
Most are benign: Hi. Yes, most nodules with those characteristics are benign. I'll assume you're not hyperthyroid (hyper-functioning nodules are NEVER cancer). Nevertheless, the chance of cancer is high enough (about 10-15% for nodules like that) that you MUST get it biopsied (non-surgical needle biopsy with gene testing is recommended). Don't ignore it, and don't ASSUME benignity. Cheers! ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Is it true that the majority of thyroid nodules are hypoechoic and although thyroid cancer is usually hypoechoic, most hypoechoic nodules are benign?
Size?: It is correct that in younger people thyroid nodules are benign, however, us is not very good at ruling out malignancy. Close follow up of the nodule is needed with us every 6 months. If the nodule is larger than 1 cm, fine needle aspiration biopsy needs to be considered. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Complex thyroid nodule biopsied said to be benign... Now regardless of the diagnosis... Could it be possible that nodule is cancerous and biopsy missed it?
Possibly: Thyroid nodules are notoriously difficult to interpret biopsy results, because the nodules themselves are often "complex" meaning non-uniform, and thus one portion may look benign while the other malignant, . ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Thyroid nodule that was diagnosed as benign 3 years ago. Today on ultrasound it showed blood flow (it didn't before). Could this be cancer? It's .88cm
Could be: The only way you know for sure is to have a pathologist take a look at a tissue sample. Have a biopsy or excision done. ...Read more
How is it a 20 yr old (so called benign) thyroid nodule have new calcification and may now be cancerous? Why not take it out years ago? Very upsettin
Need bx: Thyroid nodules are not uncommon. The rule is that multiple nodules are considered related to goiters and are benign. A solitary nodule has the potential of being or becoming cancerous. If I find a solitary nodule that is cold I suggest removing it. It can be a benign adenoma, but if left can convert to a carcinoma over time. ...Read more
3cm hypoechoic solid vascular thyroid nodule with a cluster of hurthle cells, fna benign, follow up ultrasound now shows microcalcifications. Cancer?
Not necessarily...: The fact that FNA was reported as benign, the nodule is unlikely to be malignant. Small droplets of benign colloid often mimic "microcalcificatins" of papillary tumor, hence caution is advised. I would suggest repeating the FNA, and consider also collecting samples for gene profiling studies, such as, those manufactured by Veracyte and Asuragen (Note:I have no financial/other interest.) ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Can medication shrink cancerous thyroid nodules?
Yes: Some medications can do that but surgery is typically recommended first to take them out. ...Read more
Are all thyroid nodules cancerous? Can you share some sources?
No: Not all thyroid nodules are cancerous. Depending on the evaluation which includes lab testing and radiologic tests, thyroid nodules can be determined fairly accurately as to whether they are cancerous or not cancerous. However, it is possible that surgery might be required in order to fully assess the nature of a thyroid nodule. Please see your doctor for the proper evaluation. ...Read more

Austin Powers
Yeah, baby!
Austin Powers 101
» Spoiler Warning: details on this page could spoil any surprise(s) in the story if you have not seen these movies.
Movie 1: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). In this send-up of James Bond spy films and 1960's schtick, the dastardly doings of Dr. Evil lead to his escape into outer space and the cryogenic freezing of superagent Austin Powers. Thirty years later, Dr. Evil returns to earth to bring about terror and mass destruction, but he soon learns that his ideas and methods are out of date. So too does our hero who - upon being thawed out - finds he's a bit behind the times as well. Well-meaning and bumbling efforts to thwart the insidious Dr. Evil keep Austin and his devastatingly beautiful partner Vanessa busy from London to Las Vegas. Freedom in the '90s, baby!
Movie 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). Dr. Evil uses a device he calls a "Time Machine" to travel back to 1969 and remove Austin Powers' mojo. Austin must travel back in time and, with the help of agent Felicity Shagwell, recover his vitality. Meanwhile, Dr. Evil's personal life runs amok as he discovers love, continues to shun his son and develops a close relationship with himself. Well, actually, a clone 1/8 his size whom he dubs "Mini-Me". The always time-baffled Dr. Evil begins his plan to put a gigantic cannon on the moon, thus turning it into a device called either "The Death Star" or "Alan Parson's Project," depending on which name is available.
Movie 3: Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Dr. Evil and Mini-Me have somehow escaped from a maximum security prison, and the duo team up with Goldmember. Together they formulate a plan for world domination. And this particular scheme requires a large amount of time-travel and kidnapping Austin Powers' father, England's master spy, Nigel Powers. As Austin chases Dr. Evil, Mini-Me and Goldmember through time, he stops in 1975 to "connect" with an old girlfriend, detective Foxxy Cleopatra, and requests her help to track the villains and save his father.
Austin Powers: Recap and Review
What makes it so notable? Surprisingly, an off-beat - but skilled - rascal with bad teeth and a one track mind can prove to be an enjoyable departure from those handsome, super-cool spy types.
What are its weak points? What started out as a fun and original character kinda wears thin, even after the second movie. Plus, even for low-brow humor, the bathroom scenes are frequently more repulsive than funny.
Verdict: Casual Fan or Big-Time Fangirl? somewhere below Casual Fan
Comments: You know how when you were a kid you got a new toy and you wanted to play with it all the time? But then the toy lost its appeal and finally wound up at the bottom of your toy box? That's kind of how I feel about Austin Powers. When I saw the first one I really, really enjoyed it, but in the time since, my interest has waned. Or maybe my tastes have changed: I haven't seen the third movie because I find that just reading the quotes from it is off-putting. In any event, at least Austin left me with a few fond memories.
- Quotes -
The good, the bad, the sad, the funny: the things we wish we'd thought to say first.
[From Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]
Basil Exposition: Austin, the Cold War is over!
Austin Powers: Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades? Eh?
Basil Exposition: We won, Austin.
Austin Powers: Groovy. Smashing! Good on ya! ... Yay capitalism!
Vanessa Kensington: Mr. Powers, my job is to acclimatize you to the nineties. You know, a lot's changed since 1967.
Austin Powers: Well, as long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I'll be sound as a pound!
Vanessa Kensington: I will never have sex with you, ever! If you were the last man on earth and I was the last woman on earth, and the future of the human race depended on our having sex, simply for procreation, I still would not have sex with you.
Austin Powers: What's your point, Vanessa?
Austin Powers: Allow myself to introduce... myself.
U.N. Representative: Now, Mr. Evil...
Dr. Evil: It's Dr. Evil, actually. I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called Mister Evil, thank you very much.
[Austin and Vanessa see a man decapitated]
Austin Powers: Not the time to lose one's head.
Vanessa: Indeed.
Austin Powers: That's not the way to get ahead in life.
Vanessa: Yes.
Austin Powers: It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong.
Vanessa: Shut up.
Austin Powers: Fair enough.
Austin Powers: This is my happening and it freaks me out!
Austin Powers: There you are!
Las Vegas Tourist: Do I know you?
Austin Powers: No, but that's where you are, you're there!
Dr. Evil: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my underground lair. I have gathered here before me the world's deadliest assassins, and yet each of you has failed to kill Austin Powers. That makes me angry. And when Dr. Evil gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset... people DIE!
[From Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me]
Austin (very sad): I can't believe Vanessa, my bride, my one true love, the woman who taught me the beauty of sharing your whole life with another, the person who taught me the meaning of love, was a Fembot. How will I ever go on?
[He suddenly brightens.]
Austin Powers: Wait a tic! That means I'm single! Oh, behave!
[Scott and Dr. Evil are on the Jerry Springer show.]
Scott: Why'd you run out on me?
Dr. Evil: Because you're not quite evil enough.
[the audience boos]
Dr. Evil: Well it's true! It's true! You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough.
Dr. Evil: I shall call him Mini-Me.
Dr. Evil: As you know, every diabolical scheme I've hatched has been thwarted by Austin Powers. And why is that, ladies and gentlemen?
Scott: Because you never kill him when you get the chance, and you're a dope?
Ivana: Do you know how we keep warm in Russia?
Austin Powers: I can guess, baby.
Ivana: We play chess.
Austin Powers: I guessed wrong.
Ivana: You are hairy, like animal!
Austin Powers: Grr, baby. VERY grr!
Basil Exposition: After years of research we've developed a machine that will transport you back to the Sixties.
Austin Powers: But Basil, isn't that the new Volkswagen Beetle?
Basil Exposition: That's what they'd like you to believe.
Felicity Shagwell: Austin Powers, I presume?
Austin Powers: Powers by name, Powers by reputation.
Felicity Shagwell: Felicity Shagwell, CIA. Shagwell by name, Shag-Very-Well by reputation.
Felicity Shagwell: Guru, I'd like you to meet Austin Powers.
Austin Powers: How are you baby?
Guru: My chakras are aligned and I am in a perfect state of equipoise.
Austin Powers: Good on ya. I don't know what that means but it sounds fab.
Austin Powers: How could you sleep with Fat Bastard?
Felicity Shagwell: I was just doing my duty, Austin. I had to.
Austin Powers: No, I mean, literally, HOW could you do it? The man's so fat, the sheer mechanics of it are mind-boggling.
Austin (with hurt feelings after Felicity's comments about his lost mojo): Ouch, Baby. Very ouch.
[The guard has just fallen in molten lava.]
Austin Powers: What a... burn?
[he laughs]
Austin Powers: That sort of thing could get a man... fired?
[he laughs]
Austin Powers: I think he was... hot... for... you?
[he laughs]
Felicity: That's enough.
Austin Powers: Yeah.
Dr. Evil: Mini-Me, if I ever lost you I don't know what I would do. ... I'd probably move on, get another clone but there would be a 15 minute period there where I would just be inconsolable.

- Favorite Scenes -
Also known as "moments"
[From Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]
I like the scene where Scott is trying to say something, and Dr. Evil keeps interrupting him with "Sh!" Dr. Evil even resorts to a knock-knock joke ("Knock knock." "Who's there?" "Sh!") before he finally tells Scott, "I have a whole bag of "sh!" with your name on it."
I also like the scene where Austin Powers is collecting his things after waking up from being frozen. One of the items is quite embarrassing, and Austin denies that it's his. The clerk produces a credit card receipt signed by Austin for the item. Against, Austin sheepishly denies it, saying that sort of thing is "not my bag, baby." Without missing a beat, the clerk produces a book about the thing being "my bag" by Austin Powers.
Dr. Evil: Here's the plan. We get the warhead, and we hold the world ransom for... (dramatic pause) ... One. Million. Dollars."
[The group is uncomfortably silent.]
Number Two: Don't you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't that much money these days.
Dr. Evil: All right then... (dramatic pause) ...FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!
[Again, the group is uncomfortably silent.]
Number Two: Virtucon alone makes over nine billion dollars a year.

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- NFL owners have passed the playoff overtime rule for the regular season.
All games that go to overtime now can't end on a field goal on the first possession. The opposing team must get one series, and if it also kicks a field goal, the extra period continues.
Owners also have given the replay official permission to review turnovers just as he reviews all scoring plays.
Other rules changes: a team will lose a down for illegally kicking a loose ball; too many men on the field becomes a dead ball foul; and a player receiving a crackback block is now considered a defenseless player and will result in a 15-yard penalty.

Pride of Aloha - Hawaii: Norwegian Sky Cruise Review by Diane H.
Overall Member Rating
Pride of Aloha - Hawaii
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: Honolulu
As for the food, my husband & I are not "buffet" people so any meal we had on the ship was in one of the main, sit-down restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised to see that included breakfast & More lunch. Not many passengers took advantage of this nice dining option. We had most of our dinners in the Crossings Restaurant. There were different items on the menu every night with ample choices of appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, & desserts. Everything was delicious. The service at the restaurant was just perfect. We never felt rushed nor did we feel we had to wait for our courses.
We ate twice at the upscale restaurants, the Royal Palm Bistro & the Pacific Heights. These cost $10pp extra. They were both outstanding. At the Royal Palm Bistro I had the filet & lobster tail which was $20 additional but that included the $10 surcharge. Yes, it is more expensive but the quality, presentation, & service made it all worthwhile. My suggestion would be to try one of the 3 upscale restaurants at least once during the week but make reservations in advance because they are popular.
We only made it to one show which was the comedian/magic show. It was so-so. I heard the Polynesian show was terrific. I got the impression people did not go on this cruise for the entertainment. People went on this cruise to see the Hawaiian islands. It is THE ideal way to get a first hand look at the 4 major islands without having to pack up your suitcase from island to island. The cruise down the Na Pali coast was breathtaking, rainbows, waterfalls and all! The captain did a wonderful job off the coast of the Big Island, doing a 360 degree circle so everyone got a beautiful view of the lava flow into the ocean. It was spectacular! Those were both highlights of the cruise itself.
As for the ship's shore excursions, we did not participate in a single one. We had been to the islands before so we were quite comfortable renting a car and doing touring on our own. It is correct that if you book things yourself (not with the ship) the tours will be less expensive. The car rentals were very easy because each agency had complimentary shuttles directly from the pier to their agency. FYI, it is best to reserve your car in advance. (Alamo had the best rates but be prepared for a wait.)
The embarkation & disembarkation were the easiest we've experienced.
Lastly I would like to comment on the staff. All the staff we had contact with were Americans. They were quite honest about their contracted work schedule. They work for 5 months & have 5 weeks off. They work every day but have time off depending on their schedule. It was a grueling schedule to do week after week but not one of them complained about it. Every single person we came in contact with from the wait staff, bar staff, security, officers, stewards, store staff, and excursion staff were as friendly, accommodating, and courteous as could be. My husband was not aware at first to contact the golf shop the night before to arrange having his clubs available for the next day. But the shore director herself offered to retrieve his clubs for him on that particular day & was happy to do so. I did see a disgruntled passenger every now & then but I felt their complaints were quite petty & unwarranted. If you go with a positive attitude you will NOT be disappointed.
In closing I would highly recommend this cruise & the ship. Less

First to compare a Jpeg or a Gif that uses a webpage to display, where the
ads are shown, is a whole lot different then a PDF File that uses the space
with no advertisement.
Personally I do not understand the complaint. You are given FREE unlimited
space, unlimited bandwidth. So use the facility of PDF to create the scans
and put each on a seperate webpage. I did this with my sister's site for a
book we have copyright permission to put on line.
What's the big deal? Rules are rules.... Now in case you still don't think
there is a differnce... Freepages can't be used to store pictures
(jpeg/giffs) or files either, everything on/in your site is supposed to be
used on the site! Not as storage!
So again there is a difference!

Celebrate Spring at the Flowery Branch Farmers Market
Archive Page - Links and Images have been removed.
Nothing marks the beginning of spring like beautiful weather and opening day of your local farmers market. Flowery Branch residents were able to enjoy the season's first day of the Flowery Branch Farmers Market last Thursday, which offered up a wide variety of local produce, fresh meat, crafts and so much more.
Held from 4 until 7 p.m. every Thursday from May through October, the Flowery Branch Farmers Market had to be relocated to Railroad Avenue this year thanks to its growth and popularity. Formerly located at the Spout Springs Library branch, the roadside market now takes place next to the red caboose in downtown Flowery Branch.
Vendors at this year's market include B&B Honey, Big Creek Farm, Blue Moon Creamery, Debbie's Produce, Mountain Earth Farms, BeeBlam, Southern Creations, Winey Goat Farms and many more. A small sampling of the available items at the market include fresh strawberries, farm fresh eggs, bison meats, goat cheese, pickled vegetables, herbs, bath soaps and outdoor décor. To see the entire selection of goods that are available at the Flowery Branch Farmers Market, be sure to visit on Thursday evening! For more information on the market, click here.
Homeowners at The Springs at Sterling on the Lake, an easy living community from Stonecrest Homes, will reside just a short drive away from the Flowery Branch Farmers Market. This stunning community offers the perfect combination of ranch and one-and-a-half story homes, resort-style amenities and social events and activities.
Currently, Stonecrest Homes has multiple new homes under construction at The Springs at Sterling on the Lake. Priced from the mid $200,000s, these homes include two to five bedrooms and options for screened porches, lanais, three-car garages and finished basements.
For more information on the new homes available at The Springs at Sterling on the Lake, contact Szuanne Spivey by calling 404-310-4038 or visit the Stonecrest Homes website.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic development board, it is known, but wouldn't it be great to attach an RS232 port directly connected to your RPi, look no further than this RS232 shield.
The RS232 serial port used to be the standard connection for most peripheral ports on PCs, but now the port is primarily used on industrial equipment and automation prototyping, with the RS232 Shield and its DB9 connector, you can now easily access those elements straight from your Raspberry Pi.
This device can damage the Pi by putting 5V to the GPIO pins. The chip should be a MAX3232 fed from the 3V3 supply! Anyone who buys this is risking their Pi! Come on Sparkfun, sort it out!
Sigh Regarding the 5-volt chip on the board, I assumed that since SparkFun still offers this product for sale, the problem had been resolved. But no. I ordered one, and the item that arrived still drives the Raspberry Pi's GPIO with 5 volts. So this product, DEV-12827, still can't be used for anything safely. Don't bother buying it. I don't understand why it's still offered in the store.
Is this compatible with the B+ model?
Isn't the 5V MAX232 incompatible with the 3.3V Raspberry Pi? Why doesn't this use the MAX3232?
Probably a perfectly fine level converter, but it's got the usual Pi accessory problem that it wants to be mounted directly to the board where it messes up the fit into every case sold (not just SF's), covers up other headers and pins and prevents the use of any other accessory designed to also plug into the GPIO connector (which they all are).
This would have been !perfect! if you had thought to connect CTS/DTR to the two spare channels (RS-232 side) and made some provisions for selecting the Pi side I/O GPIO pins. (ref - Trimble Thunderbolt/NTP/PPS)
Checking the wiki I see this is just a level shifter with a convenient breakout board and connector.
No reviews yet.

Pasadena CA (JPL) Jun 20, 2014
NASA is requesting the public and interested organizations to review and comment on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the agency's proposed Mars 2020 mission. The comment period runs through July 21.
During the comment period, NASA will host an online public meeting from 10 a.m. to noon PDT (1 to 3 p.m. EDT) Thursday, June 26 here.
The meeting site will be accessible to participants at 9:45 a.m. PDT (12:45 p.m. EDT). The meeting will include briefings about the proposed mission, its power source options, and the findings of the DEIS.
A question-and-answer session and an open period for the public to submit live written comments will follow. Advance registration for the meeting is not required.
The DEIS addresses the potential environmental impacts associated with carrying out the Mars 2020 mission, a continuation of NASA's in-depth exploration of the planet.
The mission would include a mobile science rover based closely on the design of the Curiosity rover, which was launched in November 2011 and is operating successfully on Mars.
The mission is planned to launch in July or August 2020 from Florida on an expendable launch vehicle.
NASA will consider all received comments in the development of its Mars 2020 Final Environmental Impact Statement, and comments received, and responses to these comments, will be included in the final document.
The DEIS, background material on the proposed mission, and instructions on how to submit comments on the DEIS are available at:
After the conclusion of the virtual public meeting, an on-demand replay of the event also will be available here.
Additional information on NASA's National Environmental Policy Act process and the proposed Mars 2020 mission can be found here.

The helipad constructed at a cost of Rp. 2 billion (US$174,000) is claimed to be the largest rotary-wing landing facility in all of Indonesia.
The helipad's location is on the Nusa Dua peninsula, near the Grand Hyatt Hotel and the Bali Collection shopping arcade.
Nyoman Cakra, a director of BTDC, said the pad was needed to accommodate the visit of more than 20 heads of state during the APEC Conference.
Measuring 46 meters in diameter, the helipad required two months to construct.
The helicopter-landing base has undergone extensive testing to ensure it is ready to handle VVIP helicopter landings during APEC.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
To call this place a mere grocery store would be to do it a severe injustice. It's a 60,000-square-foot food emporium that sells products you simply cannot find elsewhere. There are fresh dates and fresh almonds, as well as dried nuts and fruits of all kinds. The deli has many different kinds of prepared foods, including traditional tabouleh and hummus, as well as six kinds of feta cheese, all from different countries. They have an olive bar with over 30 types of olives and Middle Eastern breads of all kinds, not just the traditional pita. Their sweets counter is enough to give you a sugar fix just drooling over it. There's teas and coffees you've never heard of; wines from places you didn't know made wines, like Croatia, Bulgaria, Moldova and Romania; and olive oils that fill a whole aisle; hookahs and so many different kinds of tobacco you'll quickly lose count. And don't forget the homemade yogurt. Plan to spend a few hours gazing at products you may never have seen before.
Kuenhert's Auction house is not quite a store, but there's not a more exciting way in town to shop for fabulous French antiques, plush Persian rugs or even a palette full of kooky knick-knacks, old toys, or strange hats. Every Thursday night, the hearty souls who are game enough pick up a number, sit down in the audience and wait for the auctioneer to start the bidding. Everything goes and there's no minimum bid, so stunning deals are to be had by all. Designers have been going there for years; now it's your chance to get in on the action. All it takes is a quick hand and a strong heart — once that arty armoire is yours, there's no returning it.
Want to add a distinct look to your bedroom furniture? You could always pick up one of the many tree-killing catalogues from your recycling pile, or head to Adkins in Midtown for antique glass drawer pulls. Try those great Grecian urns to flank your apartment's porch, or Art Deco tiles for a kitchen backsplash. But if you like something, buy it. Part of the charm at this rambling, sprawling old house festooned with old lawn furniture is the fact that once an item is gone, you may never see another like it again.
Viet Hoa is the Fiesta of Asian supermarkets and a pure delight for seekers of groceries and colorful oddities alike. It's big, it's clean and on any given day, you can find silk flowers, flip-flops and thousand-year-old eggs within a few steps of each other. The back wall is covered with tanks full of unusual sea creatures and case after case of fresh fish. If seafood isn't your thing, the array of roasted and barbecued meats could turn a vegetarian carnivorous. On the way out, a dizzying and attractive selection of jellied products is tempting enough to make you want to eat white fungus and mung bean...and like it.
Space City Wheels is what you might call a high-end auto parts store. Not a lot of air filters and brake fluid, but a helluva lot of chrome. Space City Wheels strictly sells rims and tires, and the shop's showroom alone is worth a visit. It looks like a strip club or casino filled with a lot of rims. Anything in the showroom is in stock — from the 22-inch Giovannas to the 30-inch Dubs — at Space City's huge warehouse. Full-service installation is included with purchase, and the store can almost guarantee same-day service. Space City is family owned and operated and has been for 15 years. Be sure to check out the yellow and black ATV decked out with ridiculously large rims. Bonus for the store's motto: "We open Sundays."
A beginning fisherman (or woman) could get lost in this sprawling tackle store in south Houston. But the staff can hook you up with all the equipment and knowledge you need to be on your way. Unlike other big-box outdoor stores, Fishing Tackle Unlimited is straight fishing. There's plenty of gear for any kind of angling — in-shore, offshore or fly. The shop hosts a couple instructional classes and demos throughout the year, but on any day a staffer will take you to the parking lot and teach the technique with a casting or fly reel. Fishing Tackle Unlimited also has a nice variety of kayaks, which it rents for $50 a day. If you get serious about kayaking, the rental fee can be applied to the purchase price. You can also try out a kayak in the store's big outdoor pool.
