Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement in response to a White House spokesman's comments regarding TransCanada's decision to move forward with construction of the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline:
"It's good news that TransCanada will reapply to build the Keystone XL pipeline and move ahead on the project despite President Obama standing in the way. The fact is, if the President wanted the Keystone XL pipeline built, he would have approved it already. But instead of creating jobs when he had the chance, he chose to delay and deny the permit, driving our Canadian partners into the arms of the Chinese. Unemployed Americans are still waiting for the President to act in their best interest instead of simply "welcoming' news that TransCanada will do its best to move forward with the project despite the President's roadblocks. We need less talk and more action. President Obama should reverse himself, fast-track the entire pipeline for completion, and start working to get America moving again."

ERLAM Robert Lloyd 1916 - 2009 Bob Erlam died peacefully March 26,
2009 in Cowichan District Hospital at Duncan, B,C. on Vancouver
Island. He was 92. Born in Edmonton on November 9, 1916, he lived in
Calgary and served for five years in the Canadian Army, seeing action
as a dispatch rider in Sicily, Italy and North Africa during the
second world war. In 1945 he married Patricia Doreen "Rusty" Metson of
Winnipeg. Two years later they and their infant son Paul moved to
Whitehorse, Yukon, where Bob worked at numerous jobs, including the
Yukon Electrical and army diesel power plants. He started working at
The Whitehorse Star in the early 60s for then owner Harry Boyle and in
1967 he and Rusty bought The Star which they owned for 35 years. Bob
took pictures of Yukon events: of forest fires, plane crashes,
rescues, surging glaciers, floods, mountain climbs and new mines
opening. Some appeared in Time and Life and the world press.
Well-known throughout the territory, his upbeat spirit and can-do
enthusiasm were described by a friend on Bob's 90th birthday: "You
took chances and succeeded; survived the war, married the best girl,
turned a little into a lot in the Yukon and enjoyed an interesting
retirement. From soldier, husband, parent, power plant operator,
photographer, newspaper owner, raconteur, artist, art collector, dog
musher, stage manager, vintner, world traveller, you have done enough
for two lives already. Truly a life well lived." Bob and Rusty
travelled extensively, having homes near Nelson and recently Arbutus
Ridge on Vancouver Island, but their hearts remained in the Yukon.
They sold the paper to its present owner, Jackie Pierce in 2002. Bob
was a founding member of the Yukon Foundation in 1980 and a member of
the Yukon Order of Pioneers for 40 years. He is survived by his wife
of 63 years, "Rusty" of Nelson, son Paul (Maryann) of Vancouver,
grandsons Chris and James of Nelson, Garth of Vancouver and numerous
relatives in B.C. and Alberta. A gathering of friends and relatives is
to take place during the month of May at the Longbeach Road family
home near Nelson. Bob's ashes will be interred in the Yukon. The
family wishes to thank the emergency staff at Arbutus Ridge for their
prompt action during Bob's stroke and also Dr. Rimmer and nurses at
the Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan, B.C. -30-

that served him well. Brett understood that work was only a means to
an end, not an end in itself, and he dedicated his life to the pursuit
of sports, the camaraderie of friends, and the care and support of his
family. Brett had a strong sense of honour and justice that he brought
to his activities both on and off the job, and was always willing to
protect those ess able to defend themselves. We are all very proud of
him. He was a good son, a good brother, a good uncle, and a good
friend. The family wishes to thank everyone who was involved in the
heroic attempt to save Brett's life: The Maple Ridge Fire Department,
Ambulance Service, RCMP, and the staff at Royal Columbian Hospital.
Consistent with Brett's wishes, no service will be held. His remains
will be cremated with interment to follow. To those who knew him,
please remember Brett in your own way, and know that you are not alone
in your grief. He will be greatly missed by many. For those who wish
to attend, his friends will be having a gathering at 11790 - 240th
St., Maple Ridge on Saturday, April 4th at 3:00pm. Photos of Brett
would be appreciated. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the

Thanks for visiting our page. This paper towel holder is made in lots of twelve to fifteen units. using a jig made here in the workshop just as our ancestors did. This gives us an almost but not quite lot of very similar paper towel holders.
The weakest part of any paper towel holder of this type is the joinery of the risers to the base. When fastening end grain to long grain special precautions have to be taken to avoid separation. If a paper towel holder is assembled without glue it will loosen.
The end extensions of the base are also
necessary to add strength and avoid the riser striking the floor or other object directly.
Sam's Treasures' paper towel holders are placed in the jig, the risers receive an
application of glue, and are clamped in place to apply pressure. Holes are drilled and
countersunk and screws are driven into them where they remain forever. The glue is allowed
to cure for 24 hours before the finish is applied
The bases are ripped to 3" width and the riser stock to 2-3/4 width. Both the bases and risers are cut to length with a miter saw using a stop for precision cutting. After cutting the ends are laid out using a tomato sauce can for the base and a tomato paste can for the risers. We rough cut the corners on a band saw. We shape the bases on a power sander and chamfer the edges. We use another jig for drilling and countersinking the mounting holes on the drill press.
Doris then signs the bases using metal stencils with the company logo and the date manufactured.
At this point we sand and chamfer the risers on the power sander, lay them out with two pre-adjusted try squares and drill the holes with a 1-1/4" spade wood boring bit halfway through the riser. We then turn the riser over and counter bore through to complete the hole. Using a sanding drum on the drill press we chamfer and smooth out the hole.
Now the bases and the risers are placed in the
assembly jig and assembled. Finishing is the final step.
We will supply pictures of this process as soon
as we can take and post them.

We want to talk less about malingering and more about insanitary conditions, which is the real cause of excessive claims.
I thought, Mr. Page, there were no insanitary cottages on this property!
Sanitary oases for British troops were thus established in the midst of insanitary deserts.
He would undoubtedly have described it as both "insanitary and improper."
It is a fact, however, that by this time the state of Steens was insanitary to a high degree and the well water polluted.
It is a dingy city, and I think it must certainly be insanitary.
Usually there is but one toilet for both sexes and the waiting rooms at stations are cut off, unclean and insanitary.
Is it because the villages are insanitary or is there any other reason for that?
Paris may be the first city in the world—it is an insanitary hole all the same.
Offensive drains and other insanitary conditions should be avoided.

Shares in Australia's biggest telco, Telstra, and the tenure of its chief executive, Ziggy Switkowski, will be tested today following last night's shock departure of its most senior board member, chairman Bob Mansfield.
Mr Mansfield's decision to quit over what he claimed were serious trust issues within the company's board, is understood to have been aimed at defusing a boardroom split over the phone giant's strategic direction.
"As chairman, I cannot be accountable for the actions of individual directors, but I do accept that the board cannot operate as it does now and that the chairman, in those circumstances, bears responsibility," he announced last night.
"It is with regret that I have resigned but the accountability factor is clearly on me and I accept that," he said.
It is believed a number of directors had spent the past few months marshalling forces to oust Mr Mansfield and were planning to demand his resignation at yesterday's meeting.
His departure could place chief executive Dr Switkowski in an untenable position after the pair in February proposed a $3.5 billion takeover of John Fairfax Holdings, owner of The Age. A similar deal had been rejected by the board six months earlier.
"There was clearly a power struggle and obviously Mansfield failed to get the trust of the other board members," said Paul Budde, a telecommunications analyst with market researcher Paul Budde Communication.
"In the end it was either him or Ziggy that had to pay. He didn't have any choice."
Telstra shares have languished well below the $5.25 the Federal Government wants for the sale of the third and final tranche of the telco's shares to the public. They closed 3� higher yesterday at $4.56, hours before the news of Mr Mansfield's corporate demise broke.
"Clearly this is a shock for investors," said Craig James, chief equities economist with CommSec. "This appears to be the tip of an iceberg. We expect further developments from here and they're more likely to be negative rather than positive and will clearly put downward pressure on Telstra's share price until the board difficulties are further resolved."
Mr James said the statements released by both Telstra and Mr Mansfield were cryptic as to the reasons behind the chairman's resignation. "We do need further explanation from Telstra as to what situation he's referring to . . . investors will demand it and it is likely to be forthcoming," he said.
Stuart Wilson, CEO of the Australian Shareholders Association, said: "The cryptic explanation provided is grossly insufficient for the loyal shareholders that Telstra has. One would hope that shareholders deserve the facts when it comes to a chairman of a top-five company resigning."
Mr Mansfield has been replaced temporarily by deputy chairman John Ralph while a search is made for a permanent replacement. Mr Mansfield and Dr Switkowski were soundly defeated by fellow directors at the February meeting, at least one of whomwas angry enough to leak details of the meeting and the discussions to The Bulletin.
Telstra directors were furious Mr Mansfield had taken it upon himself to discuss the Fairfax matter with Prime Minister John Howard before consulting them.

Emotional and Behavioral Responses to Genetic Testing for Susceptibility to Cancer
Emotional and Behavioral Responses to Genetic Testing for Susceptibility to Cancer
As genetic testing for cancer is integrated into the routine clinical
management of cancer patients and their high-risk relatives, oncologists
and nurses will undoubtedly be called upon to provide genetic
information. Evidence for this comes from recent studies documenting
a very high level of interest in genetic testing among cancer
patients, their relatives, and members of the general population
[1-4]. Preliminary data suggest that among high-risk family members,
these self-reported intentions usually translate into actual utilization
of genetic testing [5]. To meet this demand for genetic information,
cancer-care providers will be challenged to expand their current
repertoire of skills and services.
An important concern surrounding the clinical application of genetic
technology is the psychological impact of communicating test results
[6,7]. How should providers counsel their patients about cancer
risks and the meaning of genetic test results? Although similar
concerns have been noted in the context of predictive genetic
testing for other late-onset diseases, such as Huntington's disease,
testing for cancer susceptibility raises unprecedented psychological
One example is the issue of uncertainty. The need to reduce uncertainty
has been commonly cited by prospective participants in genetic
testing programs as a reason for being tested [8,9]. In the cancer
domain, however, both carriers and noncarriers of mutations
face significant ambiguity and uncertainty about whether and when
cancer will develop.
A second issue concerns the appropriateness of the traditional
nondirective stance of genetic counseling [10]. Cancer, unlike
Huntington's disease, is potentially preventable and can be treated
effectively if detected early. Therefore, a comprehensive cancer-risk
counseling program must not only educate patients to facilitate
informed decisions but also promote long-term changes in risk-related
health behaviors and surveillance patterns. In our view, this
goal cannot and will not be achieved without addressing the beliefs,
emotions, and relationships that influence these behaviors.
The purpose of this paper is to address some of the emerging psychological
issues and challenges posed by genetic testing for cancer risk.
First, we present a description of the psychological characteristics
of individuals who are likely to come forward for such testing.
Next, we describe the range of possible adverse emotional reactions,
with particular attention to the possible impact of distress on
prevention and surveillance behaviors. In addition, we address
issues surrounding the genetic counseling process and family coping
and adaptation. Finally, suggestions for managing the psychological
sequelae of genetic testing are offered.
Psychological Characteristics of Persons
Likely to Request Genetic Testing for Cancer Risk
With the cloning of the BRCA1 gene for hereditary breast-ovarian
cancer (HBOC) [11] and the hMLH1 and hMSH2 genes for hereditary
nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) [12-14], the availability
of direct mutation testing is imminent. The funding of grants
to establish pilot predictive testing programs for cancer has
made genetic testing available on an experimental basis [15].
Although recent consensus statements do not advocate population
screening [16], relatives of cancer patients and persons at increased
risk have been targeted for recruitment into pilot predictive
testing programs.
Previous studies of individuals at increased risk for cancer can
inform us about the psychological profile of this target population.
Heightened anxiety is cited most widely as a feature of women
at increased risk for breast cancer. One study of women who, on
their own initiative, participated in a breast cancer surveillance
program found that over one-fourth of them exhibited psychological
distress severe enough to warrant clinical intervention [17].
A recent study of first-degree female relatives of breast cancer
patients [18] documented a wide range of self-reported traumatic
stress symptoms, ranging from intrusive thoughts (53%) to sleep
disturbances (22%). Stress-related impairment in the ability to
perform routine daily activities was reported by 30% of women.
Women with a family history of ovarian cancer may be especially
vulnerable to psychological distress. The protracted morbidity
and high mortality associated with this disease generates anguish
and apprehension in unaffected female relatives of patients [19].
High-risk women who have information-seeking coping styles may
be especially prone to adverse emotional reactions [2,20]. Their
efforts to attenuate distress by consuming relevant information
only seem to heighten their sense of vulnerability and anxiety
The subset of high-risk individuals who opt for genetic testing
for cancer susceptibility may be the most psychologically vulnerable.
Among relatives of ovarian cancer patients, those who were most
interested in BRCA1 testing also were the most anxious and distressed
[2]. These findings contrast with studies of predictive testing
for Huntington's disease, in which persons who came forward for
testing were the most well-adjusted [21]. In other words, self-selection
for Huntington's disease testing produced a very high-functioning
sample of participants.
This discrepancy may reflect fundamental differences in the natural
history of Huntington's disease and cancer. Unlike Huntington's
disease, cancer is potentially preventable and can be treated
effectively if detected early. Empirical data from actual pilot
testing programs is necessary to elucidate more fully the characteristics
of high-risk individuals who present for genetic testing for cancer
risk. Nevertheless, the data reported to date indicate clearly
that clinicians who offer genetic testing should incorporate psychological
screening and services into their programs.
Patient and Provider Issues Relating
to the Genetic Counseling Process
Before implementing a genetic testing program, a clinician must
consider the time and resources necessary to provide a minimal
standard of care. In the case of counseling, the amount of time
can be substantial. In a BRCA1 testing program at the University
of Utah, for example, initial visits with the genetic counselor
typically last 2 hours or more. One reason is that laypeople have
little or no prior knowledge of genetics. In addition, there are
a number of relatively unique aspects of inherited cancer that
must be explained (eg, incomplete penetrance, etiologic heterogeneity).
Finally, it is important that clinicians encourage patients' questions
and provide adequate opportunities for them to express their concerns.
Given the complexity of genetic information, the communication
process must be carefully considered. Several studies of patient-provider
communication have shown that patients immediately forget or misunderstand
much of what they are told [22]. Physicians tend to overestimate
their patients' knowledge and adherence to recommended health
practices [23,24]. In addition, they underestimate both the amount
of time they spend informing patients and the desire of patients
for more information [25]. Deficiencies in patient-provider communication
may increase the likelihood of psychological adjustment problems
in patients at risk for cancer [26].
Certified genetic counselors can play a unique, critical role
in providing effective patient education. Because their training
and experience focus precisely on the task at hand, they are often
in a better position to explain inheritance and the meaning of
test results than are physicians.
A common practice among genetic counselors that may be unfamiliar
to oncologists is the use of detailed follow-up letters that reiterate
information communicated during a counseling session. We endorse
this strategy strongly, especially since effective patient education
materials for cancer genetic testing have yet to be developed.
When a team approach is used, oncologists' time may be best spent
on specific discussions of the medical options that may be faced
by mutation carriers. The genetic counselor or nurse oncologist
can then serve as an ongoing liaison between the physician and
patient as additional questions arise.

Trey Songz Unplugs for MTV
Something has to be said for an artist who scores a 'MTV Unplugged' performance. Over the years, the privilege has been handed down to only a handful of R&B and hip-hop performers — Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Maxwell, Erykah Badu, Blackstreet, Babyface — and after being in the industry for only five years, R&B singer Trey Songz can now say he's part of the elite.
Following his run on the 'Blueprint 3′ tour with Jay-Z and Young Jeezy, on April 1 Trey recorded his episode for 'MTV Unplugged.' And without a lot of time to prepare the 25-year-old Virginia native says it was "a great experience and opportunity."
"MTV actually approached me while I was on the BP3 tour with Young Jeezy and Jay-Z and they wanted to film the show the day after the tour ended. That was too quick for me because for 'Unplugged,' I needed time to prepare and make sure that the show was special and different than what I was already doing," he said in a recent interview.
Wanting something different, Trey stepped outside of the box when preparing for 'MTV Unplugged.' "For the tour I had a 30 minute set. Since I was … mainly touring arenas, the tracks has to be hip-hop driven. Even with my R&B songs, we had to make sure they were felt in a different way. But with "Unplugged" [the performance] is mainly acoustic, so I brought along a percussionist, added some violinists and a string section. We brought a baby grand piano too, so there were more changes to the music, how I sang the song and the way the songs felt."
In other news, Trey is working on a new studio album scheduled to drop in September. He also has a reality show that will air on BET in June, and is also scheduled to start touring with R&B singer Monica. 'Trey Songz Unplugged' will air on MTV on April 26.

I love going out, whether it's dinner/drinks somewhere, movies, the occasional club, a bike ride, impromptu trip to the beach, or a hike, etc. I also like to cook, especially for, or even better, with someone. I make a mean margarita, and I get creative with martinis, and other drinks that start with M, or K... or J. I have a great job that I truly enjoy. I'm also a lover of culture, I enjoy going to the theatre, (yes I spell theatre the European way) movies, museums etc. Pretty much down for anything.
I'm self reliant, independent, respectful of others, (always waving "thank you" to other drivers for letting me merge) an animal lover, a human lover, a tree hugger, a meditator, a goofball and a passionate person.

The first one-sheet for Elysium, the new film from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp has arrived, and it gives off a very Matrixy type vibe. Still, we're pretty sure that given the talent involved it's gonna kick ass!
Directed by Neill Blomkamp, Elysium stars Sharlto Copley, Jodie Foster, Matt Damon, Wagner Moura, William Fichtner, Alice Braga, and Diego Luna. Look for it in theaters August 9, 2013.
In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life-threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

Ralph Lauren - Biography
Ralph Lauren (born Ralph Lifschitz on October 14, 1939) is an American fashion designer and business executive. "The first image-maker", according to New York magazine, Lauren is one of the fashion industry's biggest hitters. But Lauren studied business science and served his time in the army before breaking into fashion.
Lauren's empire was founded in 1967, after he opened his first ever tie shop, with no formal design training. Next came menswear and, in 1971, Lauren introduced his women's label. The chic, preppy look of his designer collections is now complemented by the whole gamut of sportswear, casualwear and home furnishings.
Lauren's fashion empire, which floated on the US stockmarket in 1997, now includes such brands as Polo Ralph Lauren, Polo Sport and the Ralph Lauren Collection. In 1999, the silver-haired designer broke into the "entertainment" business, too, with a walk-on part on TV sitcom Friends. He followed this up, at the beginning of the new millennium, by signing a landmark 30-year deal with NBC and two NBC affiliates to sell his designer "lifestyle" on the Internet, on TV and in print. "We dont only sell clothes," he said at the time, "we are selling a dream and a vision." Lauren is married to Ricky and home is Bedford, Connecticut.
Ralph and his wife, Ricky, have two sons and a daughter: Andrew, David, and Dylan. David is an executive at Polo Ralph Lauren. Dylan owns and operates an upscale candy store, Dylan's Candy Bar, at 59th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan. Ricky appeared on the television show Martha on December 6th, 2006 and stated that her son Andrew is in the "movie business". Lauren is the subject of several biographies (written by Jeffrey Trachtenberg, Michael Gross and Colin MacDowell). Lauren is also well-known as a collector of classic automobiles.

By Blake Takkunen - The Webmaster - email@example.com
Ching was nice enough to send me some protos to demo and I got to throw the new Fusion Mojos about 30 times on a soccer field. I have to say that this is one of the purest flying discs I've come across in a long time. I have a fairly good finesse game and I was able to make it hold just about any angle up to ~180-200' without much effort.
As for my overall read from it, it was stable enough to hold a hyzer line and to hold an anhyzer to glide and land flat without catching edge. I throw bent elbow on most shots (with the exception of max D drives) with a fairly pure release and rarely turn over approach discs or midranges (unless I try to). I did make an attempt to flip it over (in the bad accidental "putter roll" way) and was able to with sufficient velocity but was also able to throw some fairly nice 270'+ distance rollers.
For more interesting results, I let my friend who is a notorious accidental putter roller give them a few tosses.
He rolled almost every shot right off the bat. However, I did notice that his off-axis torque seemed to stabilize very quickly (at least much more quickly than I was used to seeing) on throws with his normal putt/approach discs. Long story short, I was able to pinpoint the problem that had been causing his putter turnover for the past several years and an hour later he was throwing the major quite well and agreed they were a very clean flyer.
I only got to throw about a dozen putts from about 15' but my friend and I played catch with it putting style for about 15 minutes at varying distances. I'm not sure if it was due to gyroscopics or plastic, but I did find it to have a bit of undesirable low speed fade when putted flat from outside 30'ish which may have purely been due to diameter and the necessary RPM's to keep it stable although I have found a trend with putters in grippier plastics that they tend to want to fade a little more than the same molds in stiffer, slicker plastics. It was money from 25' and in though, and I found it to have strong lift/hover characteristics on the longer putts. On jump putts I found I could easily clear 60'.
As for more general comments
things I found interesting:
What I didn't like:
Things I see that may cause trouble:
Overall, it was a fun disc to throw and very accurate. This disc flies similar to an Aero, but seemed to handle snap better with a sufficiently clean release. People that have trouble turning over putters will probably struggle with this disc. However, I do think it is a very interesting and accurate disc and I am looking forward to see how the production runs turn out as this disc is pending PDGA approval upon the required 1500+ discs being available.

Ariz. Democrats hold Internet primary
PHOENIX (AP) - Although busy computer connections and other glitches frustrated some voters in Arizona's Democratic primary Saturday, a record turnout gave Vice President Gore a resounding and expected victory as the party completed the first binding election for public office using the Internet.
The state's voters had a choice of using traditional paper ballots or computer
terminals at most of the 124 polling sites. Mail in ballots also were available. Even
without a competitive race, more than 35,000 people - three times as many as participated
in 1996 - had cast ballots in early Internet voting completed Friday. An additional 20,000
mail-in ballots also were cast.

|You are in: UK
Tuesday, 10 September, 2002, 12:20 GMT 13:20 UK
Six ways the UK has changed
After 11 September, people agreed life would never be the same again. But how has ordinary everyday life in the UK really changed?
Online surveillance
Governments, including Westminster and the EU, are more prepared to seek the right to monitor e-mails and web browsing; the public seems prepared to accept it, although there was a backlash against a plan to give even minor public bodies, such as Royal Mail, the right to look at people's e-mails.
Race relations
Race relations were already on the agenda before 11 September - weeks earlier there had been riots in Burnley, Oldham and Bradford.
Since then, though, there has been a massive increase in awareness of Islam among the general public, although many Muslims believe their religion has been unfairly represented as being extremist.
Most Asian groups believe race relations have worsened, and that there has been an increase in attacks on Muslims. Some Muslims believe the security services are targeting them unfairly.
The UK economy had already hit the long grass by September 2001. That makes it hard to isolate the impact of the terrorist attacks, although we are a long way from the crisis many had predicted in the immediate aftermath.
Globally the effects have been on specific markets, such as aviation and tourism. The UK suffered a 9% fall in foreign visitors last year and the stock market fell 21% over the last 12 months. The UK's flag carrier, British Airways, came close to "meltdown" after the attacks, according to its chief executive Rod Eddington.
While Britain has weathered terrorist attacks for a generation, this marked a step-change in paranoia levels, especially for city dwellers.
Talk of dirty bombs, chemical, biological and nuclear strikes, coupled with suicide tactics, have raised fears that any future attack could kill many thousands. And the UK's close links with the US identify us as an obvious target.
Even the sight of a low-flying aeroplane in a built up area is enough to set off some peoples' alarm bells.
Around the 11 September anniversary, police have asked the British public to be "alert but not alarmed".
Airport security
To anyone who has been though a departure gate in the past 12 months, the effects are only too real. Rigorous security has led to lengthy queues which, in turn, has brought forward check-in deadlines for some operators.
Frisking of passengers is more common, and some are now asked to remove their shoes, while, on board, metal cutlery has been replaced by plastic.
Everything else
Hundreds of incidents have been blamed on 11 September, although many may well have happened anyway - something known as "terrorgoating".
Other things blamed include a downturn in the fortunes of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?, as advertisers withdrew because of a lack of "feelgood" factor; a fall in CD sales; a drop in the amount of champagne and other luxury goods sold; even a rise in prices of pony rides at a stable in the west of Ireland.
Private Eye has chronicled many instances of changes that 11 September has supposedly created, including people thinking fashion is "too frivolous", people turning back to rock 'n' roll, increased consumption of lager and the following press release statement: "Since 11 September, sensitivity has been the watchword for all decisions made by the Stilton Cheese Makers' Association."
Some of your comments so far:
How things changed for me is the over-use of the term "in light of the events of September 11" by certain companies as an excuse to cover up their own incompetence. As an example my car insurance company increased my premium by 15% because of the terrorist risk and at the same time changed by insurance policy to exclude claims on account of terrorism. So why the increase?
This is just another excuse to erode individual freedom. The only real difference since 9/11 is Big Brother is really watching you.
I really am surprised that so many people have noticed that everyday life has changed for them. Since 11 September I made a conscious decision that I would not let it change my life one little bit. I cannot honestly say that everyday life has changed one iota for me. Even when flying abroad on holiday or business.
My husband and I got married in June and naturally we wanted to take out some wedding insurance as so manythings can go wrong with the big day and it is all very costly. There is now to my knowledge only one insurance company in the UK that will cover military personnel even at civilian events. No-one wanted to insure our wedding day because my husband is in the Army. That did not happen before Sept 11 last year.
It hasn't changed my life one bit. Even before September 11, I had to worry about suspect packages and bomb scares, paying the mortgage, keeping a job that I hated, family and personal problems. Although Sept 11 was a terrible event, it wasn't the first time in history that thousands of people were murdered in the same instance. Nor will it be the last.
I look at all the other passengers who are getting on the plane with me very carefully.
As if I didn't think Britons were racist enough before 9/11, things have just gotten much worse for Muslims. Thanks Bin Laden, you really messed things up for everyone.
I don't think the world change on Sept 11 2001. We all found out that things had change along time ago but were not aware of it until then.

This document lays out the University's
policy for maintaining the security of information held on its electronic
information systems. The objective is to protect the University's information
assets, and to provide a secure and reliable working environment for staff and
The University, its staff and its students rely to a great
extent on information held, managed and accessed on computers, networks and
electronic media. We need ready access to the information we depend on. We also
need to know that the information is what it is intended to be — that it has
not been tampered with — and we need reasonable assurances that confidential
information has remained confidential.
We are also conscious however of the threats to the
availability, integrity and confidentiality of electronic information. These
threats derive from failures of computer hardware or software, from harmful
computer viruses or similar malicious pieces of software, or from malevolent
human acts. The potential for such damage, particularly malicious damage, means
that controls need to be placed on the use of and access to information systems
in the University.
On the other hand it is important that the University's
role as an intellectually open institution be preserved as much as is possible,
and that information systems be made as easy to use as is possible. We need to
strike a balance between openness and ease of use on the one hand, and the need
for reasonable guarantees of security on the other.
There is much that can be done centrally (in particular in
Information Systems Services) to provide a reasonable level of security. However
not everything can be done centrally. Departments and individuals need to take
some responsibility themselves for security of systems they manage and
information they hold, and for adopting a reasonably security-conscious approach
to handling electronic information.
This policy summarises information security controls that are
imposed, outlines responsibilities, and gives guidance on getting further
information. It also states the University's policy on the monitoring of
electronic information on computers and networks. It is accompanied by
guidelines on best practice in maintaining electronic information security.
The policy does not cover the security of paper-based
information or of the telephone system.
In this policy information security is understood to mean the
preservation of:
the availability of information: ensuring that
information is available to authorised users when required;
the integrity of information: ensuring the completeness
and accuracy of information;
the confidentiality of information: protecting
information from unauthorised access.
In this policy, the term "department" is taken to
cover academic departments, sections, centres, institutes and other independent
The Information Systems Services section (ISS) is responsible
ensuring the security of central information systems and
the University data network, and of the basic hardware and operating system
software on departmental systems under maintenance contract with ISS;
backing up data on central systems;
providing advice and guidance on information security;
providing a CERT ("Computer Emergency Response
Team") function in the University;
liasing with the national JANET-CERT, and distributing
CERT alerts;
ensuring the physical security of central systems and
networks, in collaboration with Estate Management.
Departments of the University are responsible for:
ensuring the security of departmental information
systems, and networks where applicable;
registering with ISS equipment attached to the University
network for which the department is responsible;
backing up data on departmental systems;
notifying ISS of security problems that may arise on
departmental systems, and responding in a timely manner to security alerts
put out by ISS;
encouraging good information security practice among
staff and students
ensuring the physical security of departmental systems,
and networks where applicable, in collaboration with Estate Management.
Individual users of University information systems are
responsible for:
taking reasonable steps to ensure security on their
desktop machines, or on private computers which they attached to the
University network either directly (for example in student accommodation) or
over a dial-up connection;
registering with ISS equipment attached to the University
network for which they are personally responsible;
backing up data on their desktop or private machines;
notifying ISS of security problems that may arise on
their personal systems, and responding in a timely manner to security alerts
put out by ISS;
taking reasonable steps to ensure there is no
unauthorised access to systems they are responsible for;
preserving the confidentiality of passwords;
complying with the Guidelines for Use of IT facilities.
The Registrar and Secretary has overall responsibility for
compliance with the law in the operation of University information systems. On a
day-to-day basis the Registrar delegates this responsibility to the Director of
Information Systems or the Data Protection Officer as appropriate.
The Information Systems Strategy Committee is responsible for
formulating policy on electronic information security and for making
recommendations on information security to Senate and Council.

A firewall is a system that controls and limits access from
one part of a data network to another, or from a network to a computer. The
University maintains a firewall at the point at which the campus network
connects to the national academic network JANET, and also at crucial points
within the campus network.
The campus boundary firewall is set to "default
deny", that is, a given type of network protocol has to be enabled
explicitly before it is allowed through the firewall. The firewall rules are
constantly reviewed, and may be changed at short notice to counter emerging
network threats, or conversely to extend access permissions. There is more
information on the policy for the campus boundary firewall in the Security
policy for the campus firewall.
A firewall imposes controls on traffic from the student
residence network to the main campus network, and routes web access via a
caching proxy.
Central administrative systems are protected by firewalls. As
part of the registration procedure granting staff access to central
administrative applications, access through the firewall is granted for named
desktop systems.
From time to time the University may implement additional
firewalls or add firewall functionality to network components or to attached
The University maintains a single campus-wide password system
for password-protected network resources. The system requires users to change
their passwords at regular intervals, and forbids passwords which are easily
"guessed" by password-cracking software. There is more information on
passwords on the Computing Service web pages.
Access to restricted web pages is controlled either by
password or by limiting access to computers connected to the campus network.
Registration of systems
Computer and network equipment that is to be attached to the
University data network must be registered with ISS, so that the identity of the
equipment can be entered into ISS databases. Equipment not so registered will
have network access denied.
The University tries to keep to a minimum the number of
different servers handling off-campus traffic for potentially insecure network
protocols, and encourages departments to use central servers for such protocols
rather than setting up their own.
Departmental servers which are connected to the network and
which need to be visible from off campus must in addition be registered as
servers, so that access can be assured through the campus firewall.
Further registration of internally visible servers, or of
hosts which are allowed access to services may be required in future if
additional firewalls are implemented.
There is more information on the registration of equipment
and servers in the Policy for Connection to University Data Network.
Data backup and recovery
The data and operating systems held on central systems,
including central filestore, email and web pages, are backed up daily and copies
held remotely. The primary purpose is to allow for recovery in case of loss
through malfunction, physical damage or other disaster.
Departments and individuals are responsible for backing up
data not held on central systems.
There is more information on backup and recovery in the Policy
for data backup and recovery.
Virus protection
Viruses currently represent one of the most visible threats
to information security, not so much through breach of confidentially as by
denial of access or destruction. The University maintains virus protection on a
series of levels. Email attachments of types which pose a particular threat are
not allowed onto the campus; there is virus scanning on all central email
servers, with virus profiles updated daily; the central filestore is scanned and
viruses or infected files are removed; and support is provided for virus
protection on desktop systems. However it remains a responsibility of
individuals to maintain virus protection on their own machines, in particular
private computers, and to exercise caution in dealing with suspect files.
There is more information on virus protection on the
Computing Service web pages.
Other security mechanisms
Additional security mechanisms will be implemented in a
timely manner as the need arises, for example as part of the implementation of
new technologies.
Other security mechanisms may be implemented at short notice
should new security threats emerge, though in practice as much notice will be
given as possible.
Personal data held on information systems at the University
(as well as paper-based data) is subject to the provisions of the Data
Protection Act. There is more information on the University's Data Protection
web pages, and in the Data Protection Handbook.
The content of personal information gathered by the
University is accessed and modified only by those authorised to do so, in
compliance with the Data Protection Act.
The University reserves the right to exercise control over
all activities on its IT facilities and networks, including examining the
content of data or messages as permitted by the Telecommunications (Lawful
Business Practice) (Interception of Communications) Regulations 2000, in
particular to establish the existence of facts, to ascertain compliance with
regulatory or self-regulatory practices or procedures or to ascertain or
demonstrate standards which are or ought to be achieved (quality control and
training), to prevent or detect crime, to investigate or detect unauthorised use
of telecommunication systems or, to secure, or as an inherent part of, effective
system operation.
The content of users' electronic information held
centrally, including emails and data files, is examined only with the authority
of the Director of Information Systems as the delegate of the Registrar and
Secretary, and a record is kept of what is done.
The content of users' electronic information held on
departmental systems, including emails and data files, is examined only with the
authority of the head of the department.

President Obama spoke at the West Point military academy
On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: President Obama spoke at the West Point military academy earlier Wednesday and instead of taking the opportunity to make a positive influence on our up and coming military volunteers, he politicized it - at times even bringing up global warming. Mark says that Obama has let this country down, and that he is putting us at risk by not building up our military. Obama mentioned the Law of the Sea Convention, which would bind us to an international body in the United Nations, basically putting our sovereignty at risk. Meanwhile, China and other countries are free to roam the South China Sea and do as they please, now knowing that Obama has said we won't interfere. There is no doubt anymore that Obama hates America and thinks it was built on a foundation of evil that needs to change. Also, Hillary Clinton talks about the "cancer of inequalityâ€, as if people actually believe the Clinton's aren't part of the ruling class.

The fumitory is a perpetual bloomer from July till killed by the autumn frosts.
Fumaric acid is found in fumitory (Fumaria officinalis), in various fungi (Agaricus piperatus, &c.), and in Iceland moss.
fumitory, too, was grown by the housewives, and was used as a tonic and a remedy for jaundice.
fumitory helps such as are itchy and scabbed, helps Rickets, madness, and quartain agues.
The green leaves of the fumitory are very delicate and pretty.

Researchers with Georgia Tech's Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP) in conjunction with member companies of the Georgia Poultry Federation have been working together to develop an instrument to assess the risk of musculoskeletal injury. The initial focus has centered on the cutting tasks associated with the deboning process and their impact on musculoskeletal activities of the upper and lower arm. The specific ergonomic factors related to these cutting tasks include grip force, posture, and repetition.
"The ultimate goals for this research program are to assist plants and ergonomists in developing effective worker rotation schemes and training programs for new and inexperienced workers to minimize the risk of injury," says Doug Britton, research engineer and project director.
To accomplish these goals, the research team recently modified a cutting edge measurement tool, developed several years ago by ATRP, known as EWAS or Ergonomic Work Assessment System. This new and improved version of the system uses biomechanical measurements and position-tracking technology to measure the fore- and upper-arm muscle stress/strain associated with the poultry deboning cutting tasks. A ShapeTape fiber optic position measurement system is integrated with EMG sensors and an instrumented knife, developed at the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety, to collect data from workers on an actual processing line in a plant. As a worker wearing an arm strap cuts poultry, the aggregate data of the back and arm position, muscle response, and grip force is transmitted wirelessly to a laptop computer allowing researchers to study relationships among force, exertion, posture, and repetition. The information can be used both to boost work efficiency on the deboning line and to correct inefficient movements by workers performing the cutting task.
Researchers recently conducted an in-plant pilot test of the system with data being collected from five volunteer subjects that included both experienced and inexperienced workers as well as non-fatigued and fatigued workers. According to Britton, an initial analysis of the data reveals several interesting observations regarding worker actions associated with the wing cut.
• Experienced workers exhibit a larger yaw motion of the back in the coronal plane when compared with inexperienced workers.
• Experienced workers exhibit a much smoother cut trajectory in the z-plane when compared with inexperienced workers.
• Experienced workers exhibit less rotation or twist of the upper body in the transverse plane when compared with inexperienced workers.
• When experienced workers become fatigued, their work patterns tend to become more like those of the inexperienced workers.
While these are only preliminary results, Britton explains that they do indeed provide insight into some of the differences between experienced and inexperienced workers and fatigued and non-fatigued workers.
"Given that the sample of workers is relatively small, a larger study is being planned that should provide an even better insight into the musculoskeletal activities associated with doing these cutting tasks," adds Britton.
Researchers also anticipate that developments in this area will be expanded to include assessments of the back and other tasks within the poultry processing environment.

Bolton vs Chelsea Live
Available on 19 channels inside the members area!!!
Bolton Wanderers will be hoping to collect its first points against Chelsea in seven games when the two teams meet in their next Premier League match on Monday. Catch all the live football feeds from that game by signing up with us here on Live Sport Network.
The Trotters have lost the last six meetings against Chelsea including a narrow 1-0 defeat during the Christmas period. However with the Blues struggling to reassert their authority over weaker teams, Bolton manager Owen Coyle will be optimistic that his side can avoid defeat against Chelsea for the first time since 2008 and put a major dent in their dwindling title hopes.
Bolton have managed to collect just one point in their last four games since the defeat at Stamford Bridge on December 29 and Coyle will be hopeful that an excellent performance against the title challengers will provide a fresh impetus to their hopes of a Europa League finish this season.
Meanwhile Chelsea will be hopeful of extending their winning streak to two games after finally managing to collect all three points against Blackburn last weekend. The Blues had won just once in their last nine games before taking on Blackburn but goals from Branislav Ivanovic and Nicolas Anelka helped them secure three vital points and climb back into the top four.
Ivan Klasnic could return for Bolton with the striker recovering from a groin injury while there are no fresh injury concerns for Chelsea. Watch Bolton Wanderers vs Chelsea Live online on Live Sport Network, the leading source to watch live footy streams on the web.

WASHINGTON — More than 200 drugs for blood cancers are under development, according to a new report by a drug industry trade group.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America said 241 medicines were in clinical development or under review by the Food and Drug Administration, including 98 for lymphoma, 97 for leukemia, 52 for multiple myeloma and 24 for malignancies of the bone marrow, blood and lymph nodes.
"Complex diseases like blood cancer provide a daunting healthcare challenge for patients, their doctors and the biopharmaceutical research ecosystem," PhRMA president and CEO John Castellani said. "The more than 240 medicines in development for leukemia, lymphoma and other forms of blood cancer reflect biopharmaceutical research companies' commitment to build on progress to date and help bring new treatment options to patients."
The group noted that according to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the five-year survival rate for non-Hodgkin lymphoma was 40% in the early 1960s, and the rate for leukemia was 14%; by the last decade, those rates had climbed respectively to 86% and 57%, thanks to improvements in treatment.
In other news, the group said it had raised more than $100,000 to establish a new grant for blood cancer research and that 60 of its employees would participate in this Sunday's inaugural Nike Women Half Marathon D.C. to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program.
