Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting synovial tissue in multiple joints. The inflammatory process in RA is regulated by several cytokines, especially TNF, which is produced not only by macrophages and DCs but also by activated antigen-specific CD4+ T helper (Th) cells. IL-21 is a pleiotropic type 1 cytokine that shares the common cytokine receptor g-chain, g(c), with IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15. IL-21 is most homologous to IL-2. Whereas IL-2 promotes development of regulatory T cells and confers protection from autoimmune disease, IL-21 promotes differentiation of Th17 cells and is implicated in several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. IL-21, an inflammatory cytokine that belongs to the common g-chain receptor binding family is secreted by several cell types including Th17 and T follicular helper cells (TFh). An increasing number of inflammatory molecules are being identified that may contribute to RA pathology. Therefore we investigated the expression of interleukin-17A (IL-17A), IL-21 and IL-22 in RA, psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and undifferentiated arthritis (UA). In addition we dissected the in vitro requirements for the differentiation of human IL-21-secreting CD4+ T helper (Th) cells.
Expression of surface markers and cytokine production at the single cell level in peripheral blood (PB) and matched synovial fluid (SF) from RA (n=8), PsA (n=4) and UA (n=5) patients, as compared to PB of healthy control subjects (n=25), was evaluated by flow cytometry following polyclonal stimulation ex-vivo. IL-21 concentrations were assessed by ELISA in cell-free SF samples of RA (n=15), PsA (n=14) and UA (n=9) patients and in 6 days supernatants of RA (n=6) and spondyloarthropathy (SpA, n=5) synovial biopsy cultures. Immunohistochemistry analysis were performed on synovial tissues (STs) of healthy donors (HD), RA, PsA, OA, and gout patients and sections were evaluated by digital image analysis.
We observed significant expansions of IL-21-secreting cells, which represented up to 47% of total CD4+ Th cells in SF. While the expression of IL-21 in STs and SF did not differ between the different arthritides, in ST IL-21 was significantly higher in inflammatory arthritis compared to HD. Interestingly, RA synovial biopsies released significantly higher levels of IL-21 compared to SpA. CD4+IL-21+ could be detected in RA ST that do not co-localized with IL-17 neither IL-22. Synovial IL-21-secreting cells did not phenotypically fit the TFh cell paradigm in that they did not express CXCR5. In humans, differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into IL-21-secreting cells in vitro was preferentially driven by IL-21 and/or IL-6 in the additional presence of transforming growth factor-b.
IL-21 and IL-21 blocking therapy is now being tested in a number of diseases. The results of this study enhance the rationale for a trial of IL-21 blockade in RA where it may provide a useful adjunct in those patients refractory to or unable to tolerate anti-TNF therapy.

Solid to the core, lively at the fringe
Page Tools
Investors in the CBD and fringe office markets are playing the waiting game.
Results for the first half of the year for the listed office trusts indicate that sentiment is turning positive in terms of demand, though that has not yet carried through to rental.
Fund managers believe that as demand increases, rents will follow. But the timing may be out of kilter until at least next year.
Chris Freeman, national head of research at Savills, said 2004 played out in line with their forecasts, with net absorption finally returning to the market but being counteracted by additional supply.
"Due to this, we see little reason to change our overall stance from 2004: that being, rentals remaining virtually stagnant until post-2006 when the bulk of supply is accounted for and strong net absorption begins to tighten vacancy levels significantly," Mr Freeman said.
"In the near term it appears likely for 2005 to post a reduction in vacancy levels as net absorption for the year (forecast to be about 60,000sqm) should outstrip net supply and downsizing/consolidation activity.
"We forecast a tightening in the vacancy level of around 1 per cent over the 2005 year.
"During 2006 however, white collar growth is forecast to be more subdued, and with the bulk of construction coming on line creating a plethora of vacancies in backfill affected buildings, vacancy levels are likely to return to present levels."
Mr Freeman said with 243 floors available for lease in that period in the prime grade alone, it was clear supply issues might take longer to overcome than many had been forecasting.
Nevertheless, in a market capable of posting net absorption levels close to 300,000sqm, vacancy levels could rebound sharply should tenant demand approach such levels.
In the long run, the supply outlook for the Sydney CBD is fundamentally restrained.
Several CBD development sites mooted for construction are facing significant zoning or consolidation issues that must be overcome before they can offer a feasible prime office product.
"With such a restricted long-term supply outlook, the long-run feasibility of investment in the Sydney CBD office market seems assured," Mr Freeman said.
But it's not only the core CBD office market that has been changing.
The CBD fringe market has grown in popularity in the past five years, with both construction and investment strong.
National advisory firm LandMark White has identified 138,000sqm of office accommodation in 12 projects likely to join that market in the next three years. There have been 13 sales (with a $165.2 million transaction value) of office buildings for more than $1 million in the past 12 months.
These areas have been identified as a lower cost alternative to the CBD, yet are still close to inner-city transport and services.
The office market termed as fringe refers to areas including the local government areas of Leichhardt, Sydney, Woollahra and Waverley.
Investment and construction of offices have remained strong in the fringe, with LandMark White forecasting increased supply in the next three years.
LandMark White's NSW senior research manager, Vanessa Rader,
said more than 55,000sqm was under construction with about 15,200sqm due for completion this year in smaller developments.
"One of the largest and best known developments in the fringe market is the Darling Island project in Pyrmont."
Ms Rader said this waterfront development, which is being built, would see 24,300sqm of office space enter the market in 2006.
"In 2007, LandMark White expects over 88,000sqm to enter the market. The majority of this will be space associated with the Green Square Town Centre project," she said.

TOP STORY > >Austin buys more water
Leader staff writer
Austin City Council voted Monday to sign a water purchase agreement with North Pulaski Water Users Association at a lower price, but the same type of agreement it must also sign with Cabot is on hold for another month while the city and the commission that runs Cabot WaterWorks discuss the minimum amount of water Austin would have to buy.
Austin Mayor Bernie Cham-berlain says the city must deal with Cabot until upgrades to Austins water system enable the city to buy most of its water from North Pulaski, which offers a better rate of $2.70 per thousand gallons. But she has asked Bill Cypert, secretary and spokesman for the Cabot Water and Wastewater Commission, to come back to the table with a lower minimum purchase than the 31,000 gallons a day in the proposed agreement.
At $3.70 per thousand gallons, Austin would be required to pay Cabot WaterWorks $115 a day, $3,500 a month, whether Austin needed that much water or not. An agreement between Austin and Cabot WaterWorks must be signed by Aug. 28 if
Austin is to continue to buy from Cabot.
During the summer, Austin needs almost 100,000 gallons of water a day. Currently, Cabot and North Pulaski each provide about half. Chamberlain said that although the city will need a second source of water as a backup when most is purchased from North Pulaski, she doesnt want to pay for 31,000 gallons a day that are not needed.
The agreement with North Pulaski contained a space for the minimum purchase, but Austin gets to set the amount.
The $2.70 per thousand gallons that Austin will now pay North Pulaski is down from $4.05 per thousand, and the new price also includes Austins purchase of 51 North Pulaski water customers.
Currently, Cabot supplies the customers in the downtown area of Austin and North Pulaski supplies those across the freeway.
Before North Pulaski can supply the entire Austin system, the six-inch water line under the freeway that connects the two parts of the system must be replaced with an eight-inch line.
A new water tank also is needed, and so far the only work toward the upgrades is the clearing of the site for the tank.
The city has borrowed the estimated $750,000 needed to pay for the work.
Cabot has asked Austin to sign a six-month contract that would be renewed automatically, unless Austin wants out. But Cypert told the council Monday that if Austin needs water in an emergency it will be higher than the wholesale rate of $3.70 per thousand.
If you want on-demand water, the rate will not be a wholesale rate, Cypert said. It will be a commercial rate. That (commercial) rate would be negotiated.
In other business, the council approved paying $6,000 for a fully equipped police car owned by one of the citys police officers.
Chamberlain said the odometer on the 2003 Crown Victoria owned by Kyle Matthews showed only 41,000 miles.
The council also approved a low bid of $8,500 from Maxwell Electric for wiring the new fire department across the freeway in front of Cross Creek subdivision.
Additionally, the council approved two low bids for remodeling the donated, underground house next to the new fire station for offices for the fire department and water department: $1,819 from Staley Glass for doors and $5,500 from Perry Siding for architectural shingles and vinyl siding.

The young British backpacker lost in central Queensland for three days has been released from Longreach hospital.
However, those wanting more detail on 18-year-old Sam Derry-Woodhead's miraculous survival will have to wait until his exclusive with British tabloid the Daily Mail is published.
Meanwhile, ABC Western Queensland reported that Mr Woodhead planned on donating the profits from his undisclosed deal with the paper to the emergency services that helped save his life.
Mr Woodhead became lost after leaving a Longreach cattle property for a run on Tuesday.
A ground-and-air search was launched, but the keen sportsman was not spotted until Friday.
He was taken to Longreach hospital suffering sunburn, but was found to be hydrated and in otherwise good health.
His mother, who arrived in Australia on Saturday, told reporters her son had consumed his contact lens fluid to survive.
The ABC reported that Mr Woodhead emerged from the Longreach Hospital, posed for photos with his mother, Claire Derry and read from a prepared statement, where he thanked his searchers.
"I feel very fortunate to be alive and to still be standing here," Mr Woodhead said.
"I'm really grateful for all the guys that helped out and all the team."
I know that so many people helped out and so many people were getting involved... I firmly believe that if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here today."
It was a really amazing feeling to be picked up and to realise that I was going to make it through."

Date of Defense 2011-11-08 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe scientific method requires the creation of a unifying hypothesis that reconciles an observed health outcome of infection with experimental data gathered about the disease process following infection. In this era of unprecedented amounts of data and information for various disease models, the creation and articulation of such hypothesis are often beyond human capacity. Modeling offers a means to generate hypothesis that provide complex mechanisms that reconcile seemingly contradictory data as well as quantitatively assess the relative plausibility of different mechanisms proposed to explain the same data/health outcome association.
Here I explain the modeling approach to hypothesis generation and offer several examples of its implementation to address the role of the natural host immune response in determining outcomes of infection by a specific microbe including pathogenesis and microbial clearance. Such knowledge is key to devising sophisticated disease intervention strategies. The systems studied are i) Inflammatory Bowel Disease, where I explore mechanisms of inflammation regulation and how they break down to give rise to a chronic inflammatory disease, ii)H. pylori infection, in which I explore potential bacterial strategies for persistence as a commensal of the microflora or as a pathogen, and iii) HIV infection, where I explore the role of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in establishing viral infection. I present both mathematical, equation based models as well as agent-based, computational models offering a comparison of each method.

Gamecocks dominate 5th-ranked Georgia, 35-7
Sixth-ranked South Carolina put together one of its most complete efforts of the season on Saturday night against No. 5 Georgia en route to a 35-7 victory in front of a record crowd of 85,199 at Williams-Brice Stadium. The Gamecocks rolled up 392 yards of offense and held Georgia to a season-low 224 yards of offense. The Bulldogs entered the contest averaging 48.2 points per game and 536 yards per contest. With the win, South Carolina improves to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the SEC. The victory is the Gamecocks' 10th straight, which is the longest winning streak in school history, and it's their 12th consecutive over SEC Eastern Division opponents. The win is also head coach Steve Spurrier's 250th career coaching victory (collegiate and pro combined). Georgia drops to 5-1 on the year and 3-1 in conference play. Junior quarterback Connor Shaw and junior running back Marcus Lattimore combined for 349 yards of South Carolina's total offense. Shaw completed 6-of-10 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns through the air and added 78 yards and a score on the ground. Lattimore carried the ball 24 times for 109 yards and a score, giving him his 11th career 100-yard game and third against the Bulldogs.

Moved from Newcastle to Poole 7 years ago, loving it down here but doing no climbing just lots of watersports (dinghy racing, big boat racing and a bit of windsurfing). Miss the Lakes in particular, that was like second home.
Best Climbing Experience
First Lakes trip was pretty special - climbing with a single 8mm rope that had been used to haul sacks in the Alps that I bought 2nd hand (along with some bongs!) - Camping up high, hitching - all the stuff I wouldn't dream of doing now.

Women's Economic Empowerment through Co-operative Farming, Vocational Training & Business Development
Due to the lack of specific implementation plans and faulty representations, local communities have not adequately accepted government and private schemes for the upliftment of women. Women have not actively participated in their own emancipation due to their lack of economic independence and rampant illiteracy. Therefore, The George Foundation decided to address this important issue of women's empowerment in India by raising the status of women in Hosur Taluk through economic empowerment and education.
Krishnagiri District is the most backward district in Tamil Nadu. In the geographical location selected, there are no high schools, no private schools, inadequate primary health sub-centers, and no NGOs. Roads, water supply, drainage and communication network are inadequate to augment economic development. Fragmented land holdings are not conducive to commercial farming. Child labor is rampant in this socially backward area. Population statistics of our country clearly indicate that quality education is out of the reach of the poor and marginalized irrespective of their innate potential. Women are often exploited by their communities. They have very little voice and no knowledge or means of improving their social and economic status.
In the villages of the area, the caste system is deeply entrenched. The lower caste colonies are ostracized and basic facilities are denied to them. Female infanticide is a common practice and women are punished socially for bearing girl children. Gender biases are very evident in the preferential treatment given to the male child.
Rain-dependent agriculture, home-based animal husbandry, silkworm rearing and brick making are the main income generating activities. Fisheries, horticulture and industries have been established in a few select areas such as Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri and Hosur. Rural folk find it difficult to travel to these cities in search of jobs. The average family income level is below the poverty line.
One of the popular schemes employed by several NGOs, and supported by some international and bilateral agencies, is the so-called "micro-finance" or small loans that usually range up to $100 (Rs. 5,000) per woman to start some form of business. Notable successes have been recorded, and the program has received considerable world attention. Most poor women entrepreneurs are said to have been able to make their businesses successful, and repay the loan. However, our experience in this area with lower caste poor women has been somewhat different.
Poor women, especially from backward communities and lower castes, are mostly illiterate, untrained, and have very little social and economic status. In India, there are over 350 million such people, mainly in rural areas. The unemployed are nearly 200 million people, a great majority of them belonging to these deprived sections of the society. Without meaningful skills, social status, and economic power, they are unable to do any business on their own even with financial assistance.
To start even a small rural business, it takes no less than $500. According to some studies conducted by the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, Ahmedabad, the average capital need for a one-person small business is in excess of Rs. 1 lakh ($2,000). Further, the chances of making any business successful is very small - the odds are barely 1 in hundred for an educated person. Uneducated lower caste rural women find it almost impossible to initiate any such entrepreneuring work without adequate capital, proper training, and on-site daily support.
Based on our understanding of the problem faced in our rural community, we have devised a scheme for empowering poor and socially deprived women. The key ingredients of this program can be summarized as follows:
Only when these requirements can be met, we believe poor illiterate rural women can be expected to turn into entrepreneurs.
The George Foundation has purchased/leased 250 acres of land. An executive committee comprised of representatives of The George Foundation, village panchayath, and agricultural consultants has been formed. Under its direction, the soil is being prepared for crop cultivation. Superior seeds of selected crops have been purchased. The panchayath members are highly motivated about this project. People from the surrounding villages are participating in the preparation of the land for farming. This program will be expanded to cover the neighboring state of Karnataka in its later stages.
Members of the village panchayat, the village administrative
officer and the block development officer have been with the project from
its planning stage. The geographic community and the community of beneficiaries,
particularly poor rural women, were involved in planning and implementation
of the project.

Published: March 23, 2012 at 8:13 AMReally tough vote between smoothest coaster (Manta) & the best opening for any ride (The Hulk)
Published: March 23, 2012 at 8:17 AMThis vote is going to be close one, I'll bet. They're both great in their own ways. I've ridden Hulk more times than I can count, Manta only once.
Manta's beautiful theme wins hands-down, but when it comes to the actual ride, I'm still trying to figure out if I loved Manta or hated it. I came off the ride feeling very confused.... I'm just not sure I like flyers. Part of the problem was that I was in the front row, which wouldn't have been my first choice. I don't know.... I just don't remember that much about it other than feeling the whole experience was very "odd". I'm finally getting a chance to ride it again in April and I'm hoping for a more definite opinion to form :-)
The Hulk, on the other hand, thrilled me the very first time I rode it and has continued to do so ever since. That first launch is a perfect stomach-dropper. My favorite seats are the back two rows and the ride is always great. It seems like the coaster has gotten a LITTLE rougher in the last couple years, and it could certainly use some paint TLC, but it's going to get my vote today.
P.S. -- Not looking forward to Monday's vote... At all!
Published: March 23, 2012 at 8:31 AMThe Incredible Hulk is a great coaster; unfortunately, it's also the kind of ride that gives me a headache. I refuse to ride it again until I hear about a refurb.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 8:35 AMI've only been on Hulk, and only twice. I believe it's highly over-rated. Since I've never heard or seen a bad word about Manta, and I've come to like flyers, that's how I voted.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 8:45 AMI've ridden both and it's a really tough call. I went with hulk in the end as the launch is spectacular. Both are great rides though. This tournament is getting tough!!!
Published: March 23, 2012 at 8:47 AMI've never been on either, but I voted Hulk because it's the freaking Hulk!
Published: March 23, 2012 at 8:59 AMEven though I've never ridden either coaster, I'm voting for Hulk. It just looks like a better ride from video I've seen.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 9:00 AMI'm a lifelong coaster chicken working his way up the ladder...currently enjoying myself on the Mummy rung with hopes of graduating to the Hulk one day...total Universal-bias here. The Hulk!
Published: March 23, 2012 at 12:08 PMI rode Manata once it is was O.K. Not a big enough draw to ride it again and I hated the fact they kept you in that crazy position after the ride was over and the other coaster was loading. Hulk is great...however it is not as smooth as it used to be and is getting quite rough. Hulk needs a rehab badly and/or new coaster trains. The new paint job on Hulk looks great. I voted for Hulk despite it's roughier ride.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 10:02 AMThis is a tough vote for me since these are two can't-miss attractions. The first 10 seconds of Hulk is one of the greatest thrills out there. Unfortunately, after that beginning, I could take or leave the rest of the ride. Manta, on the other hand provides a smooth, unique experience and destroys Hulk with its beautiful theming. My vote today goes to Manta.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 10:35 AMManta really should be winning this, but I think the Incredible Hulk is one of the most iconic roller coasters in the world. I do love the Incredible Hulk a lot, but Manta is tied as my favourite coaster (with Intimidator 305).
Published: March 23, 2012 at 10:57 AMI voted for the Hulk. I love Manta, and think it is a great coaster, but the Hulk is just special. Its THE iconic ride at UOR. The moment you walk off the people movers and into CityWalk you can hear The Hulk roaring in the distance. Its the first ride you see as you come around the corner.
And the the ride. That is the BEST opening of any ride ever. Sure the cars need a refurb as the back half of the track is getting rough to ride, but I still love it.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 11:34 AMI haven't been on either, but Tatsu is in my top five steel coasters so I voted for Manta. The beginning of Incredible Hulk looks outstanding, but the rest of the ride doesn't appear to be significantly different from other B&M coasters and seems less themed than Manta.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 11:44 AMCaroline, nice to see some I-305 love. It's my #1 steel,a nd I'm less than a month away from my next ride on it!
Published: March 23, 2012 at 12:32 PMConversation overheard coming from the direction of the Hulk....."HULK clobber Manta".....
Published: March 23, 2012 at 1:01 PMI love both of these rides so much. Hulk has that incredible launch, but Manta has such a view. No seat is bad, and the further back you ride, the faster it is.
I went with Manta, but that's because I love to look around on coasters and you can do it in every seat on this one.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 4:17 PMI haven't ridden either(but that will change soon!). I expect Manta to be a slightly faster, longer, and more thrilling version of Superman at SFOG, but with a great consistent theme. Hulk seems to have a great launch, and a decent theme(nothing to Manta though). Beyond that, it seems very similar to the Georgia Scorcher, minus the standing. So between the two, Manta gets my vote by a long shot. Seaworld created a world class e-ticket. Universal put a decent parkinglot coaster over water, added a great launch, and some mild theme(comparable to some of SFOG's coasters).
Published: March 23, 2012 at 4:34 PMMy vote was for Manta. Incredible Hulk has an incredible first half, but once you hit the first set of brakes, the ride becomes boring for the second half. Manta has incredible theming as well as the fact that its a unique experience riding a coaster in a flying position. The finale on Manta with the train coming very close to the water is an awesome feeling as well.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 4:38 PMThere was about a three month period between 1999 and 2000 that I rode The Hulk virtually every day. The launch, the height, the initial succession of inversions, the "backyard." Just a great, iconic coaster. My mid-morning coffee break was spent riding The Hulk. And (for the record) lunch was spent watching the Wild, Wild, Wild West Stunt Show.
But I have to be honest. I have to vote for the competitor that is truly the better themed attraction. So my vote goes to the Jungle Cruise.
Published: March 23, 2012 at 4:53 PMThis was a tough vote as I am a huge fan of the flying coasters, but the launch on Hulk gets me every time. I also like the fact that is "roars" and you can hear it from the Hard Rock and Royal Pacific hotels.
Manta, Superman: First Flight etc... are pretty tame when it comes to speed and initial hill height but they do make you feel like you are flying, especially in the front row.
Tower of Terror vs FJ will be close, they are both great rides.....
Published: March 23, 2012 at 5:33 PMThis is where Hulk's run should end. Aside from a launch that isn't the best in the business (Sorry everyone...Dragster wins that title by a mile), the track afterward is standard B&M elements that can be found everywhere. Not that this is a bad thing, but the best attraction winner doesn't is either unique or the first of it's kind. Except for the launch, Hulk is neither.
If for no other reason than to burn down an overrated sacred cow, I choose Manta.
Published: March 24, 2012 at 5:22 AMI have to follow the Expedition Everest logic and refuse to vote for Hulk until it is restored to its former glory. As has been mentioned numerous times already, the coaster is far too rough compared to what it used to be. A certain level of roughness is to be expected as a coaster ages, but Universal has exacerbated that by not taking the coaster down for a refurb in a very long time.
Which isn't to say Manta isn't excellent as well. Manta is a superb coaster in a park that shouldn't have to rely on coasters to get people in the gates. It gets my vote until Universal gets their act together. They can't go another year without addressing the big green elephant in the room.
Published: March 24, 2012 at 6:01 AMSteve, be thankful Universal took some time out to update their best ride (Spider-Man), but don't expect any more love until the London side of Harry Potter world is complete. Universal is too concerned with its Harry Potter fetish right now to address any more of IOA's maintanience problems!
Published: March 24, 2012 at 8:57 AMI'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the Hulk too rough. When is Universal going to get the message? Refurb that beast, please.
Published: March 26, 2012 at 5:26 AMCompletely missed this vote, but the right coaster won. Manta is fantastic, a wonderful ride. But Hulk, even with it's roughness, is just better. And the first 30 seconds of Hulk is simply the best 30 seconds around.

European Union Herring Sanctions Put Faroe Islands in a Pickle
EU Moves to Do the Same Against Iceland Over Mackerel Fishing
BRUSSELS—A dispute over fish stocks in the North Atlantic escalated on Tuesday, as the European Union imposed sanctions on the Faroe Islands for refusing to cut its herring catch and moved to do the same against Iceland over mackerel fishing.
The fight pits the small island governments against the 28-nation EU. Ireland, the U.K. and Norway have traditionally been the region's biggest fishers of mackerel and herring. But catches of the oily fishes by Faroese and Icelandic fishermen have soared over the last four years, as...

April 10, 2007/© The HSUS
Our ProtectSeals team has moved out of Newfoundland (map) and our efforts to document the commercial seal hunt in 2007 have come to a close. This was my ninth year of observing the seal hunt and it was one of the most devastating. From our helicopters, we watched and filmed in horror.
The cruelty we witnessed brought home exactly why this slaughter must be ended forever. The baby seals targeted for their fur were no match for the sealers who ran across the ice, armed with deadly weapons and greed. Wounded pups tried pathetically to escape, dragging their bleeding bodies toward the edges of the ice. But the sealers reached them, stabbed them with metal hooks, and dragged them back to their grim fate.
Each year, I come away from this slaughter more determined than ever to shut this "industry" down for good. And this year, the ProtectSeals team leaves knowing that we will succeed in that monumental task. For as much as the Canadian government - my government - continues to lie to its own public, to foreign governments, and even to itself, there is simply no defense against what we have documented this year.
April 5, 2007/© The HSUS
This is a battle of wills, and it is a battle we are poised to win.
We have the truth and compassion on our side, and we are not alone. We are joined by governments the world over and international seafood distributors who are using their power to ensure this is the last baby seal slaughter any of us will ever have to witness.
And most importantly, we have you. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a key part of our seal hunt expedition in 2007. It is never easy to bear witness to slaughter, but in doing so, you have helped us spread the word about the plight of the baby seals.
Now comes the hardest part - our ongoing campaign to stop this brutality from repeating. We all need to do more. We must increase the number of people and companies boycotting Canadian seafood to step up the pressure on the Canadian government and fishing industry. And we must ensure that the European Union follows through on its intent to ban the trade in seal products.
This will be my final journal entry, but please continue to stand with us. Together, we will ensure this slaughter is ended for good.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by lqmac1, Dec 31, 2012.
Its absurd to think that this is a 2-14 team without romo, we aren't kansas city bad.
Yes, they've been terrific with him. Lets not forget a few season ago when this team started 1-6 with Romo mostly at the helm.
Why is it so hard for some fans to understand that he simply isn't a great quarterback? He puts up numbers, but so does almost every QB in the league nowadays. He just doesn't come through when it matters the most.
What he said is true. All other teams would be interested in Romo. Not necessarily to replace their starter but there is room for Romo on every NFL roster.
Oversimplistic response. It's intrinsic that we need to win ALL the games for that matter. Or at least enought to be relevant. Saying that if the team doesn't get in the hunt if they don't win is a given. Past that, if you're gonna hang all the wins around his neck as being "HIS", then you have to hang all the losses too. Which way do you want it? You can't cherry pick all the good and ignore the bad. ROmo has plenty of good, but facts are facts and he gives lots of heft to the naysayers who point out he can't win when we have to. That can't be ignored.
This is what EVERYONE fails to realize. RG3 is working out of a gimmicky college offense and a strong run game. Luck is the only prodigy that would have warranted a move up and change of QB.
That is the right way to run a direct snap. Many teams do it and on fake punts you do it. The idea is to get one guy on defense to react and get a seam for the runner. Dysfunctional plays are our very own swinging gate play a few years back.

1) Kurt Warner played for the Cardinals in the last 5 years of his career. Just because he was arguably the best they ever had, doesn't mean he was a franchise QB at the time. He was that with the Rams, not the Cards.
2) Matt Hasselbeck ? REALLY..??
3) Mark Brunell = Danny White
4) Brett Favre playing for the Vikings is like saying Johnny Unitas playing for the Chargers or Joe Namath for the Rams.. Hell, even Favre himself for the Jets. You CANNOT possibly be serious..
Rich Gannon ? Hell, you would have been better off bringing up Mark Rypien. NEITHER were franchise QBs, but at least he won a SB.
Testaverde, Cullpepper ? Come on now..
Jay Cutler = Tony Romo, who alot of people in here want to get rid of.
Matt Hasselbeck had the Seahawks consistently in the playoffs and took them to a Super Bowl. His stats are pretty good too so I don't know what's so confusing about him. Also, he's the franchises all-time leader in just about every single passing category.
Rich Gannon was the league MVP in 2002 so yeah, he's definitely comparable to Mark Rypien...
Kurt Warner was a franchise QB for the Cardinals. I don't see how taking them to a Super Bowl is suspect to his credibility with the team.
Brett Favre playing for the Vikings is more like Joe Montana on the Chiefs. Both got their teams to their respective championship games.
Brunell played in 2 AFC Championships, 2 more than Tony Romo.
Daunte Cullpepper put up better numbers than Romo and took his team further. Vinny was more of a game manager but still took his team further than Romo.
Why is Romo better than these guys again? He's no more than a modern-day Jim Everett; lots of stats, no playoff results.
Jim Everett made it to a conference championship game
Hell Crystal Chandelier made it to a Super Bowl Chris Chandler for those that never heard the nickname thrown around during his career.
That nickname was used here in the Bay Area. I guess because Atlanta was in our division back then we kept a close eye on them. He got the nickname because he always got bit by the injury bug.
He had before then; when he was the starter in Houston while they groomed McNair he already had the name because he always came up injured he was a pretty good QB when he was healthy
Completely forgot he played for Houston. Well playing on that green concrete at the Astrodome I'll give him a pass on the injuries. That was truly the house of pain.
I still remember when a brittle Montana went in there with the Chiefs and took it to them.
I don't know what it is about mixing Houston with NFL football. It's two ingredients that equal up to the most epic choke shows the league has ever seen..LOL
Houston Texans seem to be carrying on the tradition as of late
Haha touche. I guess I'll have to think of another...
No worries. There have been so many bums that have suited up over the years it's hard to remember them all..LOL!!

(CNSNews.com) - Cuban President Fidel Castro hailed Bolivian president-elect Evo Morales' election as the "emancipation" of a people whom "colonialism and racism wanted to crush and wipe out."
Castro's message, posted in Spanish last week on Cuba's state-run newspaper site, Granma.cu, called the outcome "the hour of the true discovery of America," which came after "half a millennium of genocide."
The "true discovery of America" is one of "indigenous America, of Black America, of mestizo America, of the America of Bol?var and Mart? that today is everywhere proclaiming its definitive and unrenounceable independence," Castro wrote.
The Cuban leader cited "tremendous obstacles" and "pressures of empire" that were allegedly brought to bear on the election to "frustrate the will of your people."
Those culpable wanted to "continue to strip Bolivia of its immense natural resources" and are "responsible for the tremendous misery, oppression and discrimination imposed for centuries on a noble and rebellious people that has never stopped fighting for freedom and justice," he added.
Castro wrote that millions of Quechuas, Aymaras, Guaranies, Chiquitanos and other native peoples of Bolivia had always been excluded from a political system that was the legacy and continuation of colonial servitude.
The Cuban leader called on all people to "reject imperialist threats" while praising the election outcome as a "historic victory" and proof that "a better world is possible."
The message was written and posted after the Cuban parliament unanimously agreed on Dec. 22 to send a congratulatory message to the Bolivian president-elect. The letter was signed by Castro and Ricardo Alarc?n, Cuba's vice president and president of its national assembly.
The staff of the Daily Journal, a Caracas, Venezuela-based source of English-language news for the communities of Andean Pact countries, translated the letter into English.
Morales, who has described himself as an admirer of Castro, is scheduled to visit Cuba on Friday.
An Aymara Indian coca farmer and former protest leader, the 46-year-old Morales won election with approximately 54 percent of the vote. Final results will be confirmed on Jan. 13, and Morales will begin his term nine days later.
Eight more presidential elections are slated to take place in Latin America this year, and some political analysts are predicting the region will continue to shift to the left. Countries that will hold presidential elections in 2006 include Costa Rica, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

It's franchise season in the NFL -- franchise player season.
Teams have until Thursday to mark pending free agents with the franchise (or transition) tag and prevent them from reaching unrestricted free agency.
These are the franchise/transition tag tender amounts at each position for the 2010 season, plus the highest-paid player at each spot:
Franchise players must be offered a one-year contract tender equal to at least the average of the five highest-paid players at their respective position or 120% of the player's previous salary, whichever is greater. Any team that tries to sign away a franchise player once he has signed his tender must yield two first-round picks in return if his parent team does not match the new offer, barring a different trade agreement between the suitor and team owning the franchise player's rights. (Remember, the Patriots ultimately traded franchise-tagged QB Matt Cassel to the Chiefs last year, along with LB Mike Vrabel, for a second-round pick.)
Teams can also apply an "exclusive" franchise tag which prevents the player from negotiating with other teams though it could afford him slightly more money while essentially taking him off the market. The Raiders have utilized this maneuver with CB Nnamdi Asomugha in the past.
Transition tags guarantee a player the average of the top 10 salaries at his respective position or 120% of his current salary, whichever is greater. A transition tag gives the owning club right-of-first-refusal if the player signs an offer sheet with another team. However if the club does not match, it loses the player without compensation, similar to Seattle's loss of G Steve Hutchinson to the Vikings four years ago.
Once the tag tender is signed, players still have the option of working out a long-term contract with the team, as Giants RB Brandon Jacobs did last season. A franchise can also opt to remove the tag, rendering the player a free agent. Seattle released LB LeRoy Hill from his tag after drafting LB Aaron Curry last spring but ultimately signed Hill to a long-term deal.
Teams can only use one franchise or transition tag this week. However if the 2010 season is uncapped, they will have one franchise tag and an additional transition tag at their disposal next year. -- Nate Davis and Sean Leahy
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Esquire Endorses: Dublin Dr. Pepper
This special formulation of Dr. Pepper is made from imperial cane sugar. And you can only get it within a 44-mile radius of Dublin, Texas.
It's hard to espouse tradition without sounding like Wilford Brimley grunting the virtues of oatmeal, but old pop is better than new pop, and that's just facts. In the 1970s and 1980s, when the price of sugar began to rise, most bottlers switched over to high-fructose corn syrup--except the Dr. Pepper bottling plant in Dublin, Texas, the only DP plant never to have used anything but Imperial pure can sugar to sweeten its unique brand of black gold. It's like drinking nature's perfect candy, plus fizz. The hitch is, it's available only within a 44-mile radius of Dublin. While it probably isn't worth the drive to west Texas to taste it--a ranch filled with crazy pussy probably isn't worth the drive to west Texas--if you're passing through Comanche, Desdemona, or Fairy, make sure you stop for a cold bottle of the last best pop in America.

Potatoes, garlic and onions: these three vegetables are staples worldwide partly because of their versatility and partly because of their storage-ability.
Late July and August are when our spring planted onions, garlic and potatoes reach maturity and are ready for harvest. If you want to harvest some new potatoes, onions or garlic before they reach maturity, enjoy them at the table in short order, but if you want to store them, it is important to harvest them at the correct time.
I was reading the book of Job and thought about our leaders trying to run our country without God. Every one of them needs to read the book of Job. The very best reason I can think of why they should read it is because they have taken the richest country in the world to the brink of bankruptcy. We may ask, "Why?" I think that is very simple. I believe they have quit listening to God and thought they knew more than he did and thought they had more power and they did not need God.

Last Thursday, many of the county's business leaders (and myself) gathered at the Spencer County Chamber of Commerce building for the Chamber's annual picnic and membership appreciation meeting.
You'll see some pretty entertaining photos on the back of this week's B section, and if it looks like we were being goofy and having a good time, then you're getting the right idea.
The Chamber board provided plaques to all of its members and prepared a meal that we all enjoyed.
And then there was the game.
It's hard to believe we're halfway through summer. I've enjoyed the opportunity to visit with many of you at school sporting events, graduation ceremonies, county fairs, local festivals and Chamber of Commerce events.
Two Spencer County students were among the 2,200 who received degrees during graduation ceremonies April 30 at Indiana Wesleyan University's main campus in Marion.
Graduating were Taylorsville's Mary Carroll and James Nichols. Carroll graduated with a bachelor of science degree in nursing and Nichols graduated with a master of business administration in applied management.

Update: House Republicans voted Wednesday afternoon to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over the Justice Department's refusal to hand over documents related to the failed Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation. The vote came after President Barack Obama supported the retention by invoking executive privilege.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee voted down party lines, with 23 in favor of the move. California Rep. Darrell Issa had previously threatened to place Holder in contempt for refusing to give up files pertaining to the operation.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said Obama's action implies that White House officials may be trying to cover up something about the executive branch's alleged involvement in the operation.
—Posted by Alexander Reed Kelly
The New York Times:
The documents in question involve discussions since February, 2011, long after the gun operation took place. During the operation, illegally purchased firearms were tracked as they were smuggled into Mexico. But law enforcement agencies lost track of some of the hundreds of weapons involved, and two guns linked to the program were found near a shootout in which a Border Patrol agent, Brian Terry, was killed in December 2010.

Bangkok (AFP) April 19, 2011
Laos faced pressure from its neighbours on Tuesday to delay construction of a controversial dam on the Mekong River as they failed to agree on a project that has sparked deep environmental concerns.
Officials from Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam met in Vientiane to discuss the planned $3.8 billion Xayaburi dam in northern Laos, an impoverished Communist nation which sees hydropower as vital to its future.
Laos's neighbours argued there had been insufficient environmental studies on the dam's likely impact, according to a statement released after the meeting, while Laos said there was no need for further consultation.
Environmentalists have warned damming the lower Mekong would trap vital nutrients, increase algae growth and prevent dozens of species of migratory fish -- including the giant catfish -- swimming upstream to spawning grounds.
But the final decision on the dam rests with Laos, which seems determined to eventually go ahead, and work has already started to build roads to the site.
Vietnam voiced "deep" concerns about inadequate assessments and the risk of damage to its fishing and farm industries, calling for hydropower projects on the mainstream Mekong to be deferred for at least 10 years.
Discussions about the dam, which is the first of 11 proposed for the mainstream lower Mekong and will be capable of generating 1,260 megawatts of power, are now set to move to ministerial level.
Around 95 percent of this electricity will be bought and exported to Thailand, which is backing the project financially, and Thai construction group CH. Karnchang Public Co is playing a leading role in the project.
Even Thailand, however, voiced reservations about the scheme, including the possible loss of fisheries and wetlands.
The four member states of the intergovernmental Mekong River Commission (MRC) have an agreement to cooperate on the sustainable development of the waterway and have been in consultations over the Xayaburi project.
"We understand the concerns of neighbouring countries. We will keep up our efforts to persuade them and make them understand why Laos needs to construct this dam," Daovong Phonekeo, deputy director general of Laos's Department of Electricity, told AFP by telephone from the capital Vientiane after the meeting.
Even before Tuesday's talks started, Laos state media signalled that construction was expected to begin soon, saying the government "has full rights" to decide whether to approve construction of the dam.
Environmental groups have long objected to damming the river, which winds from the Tibetan Plateau through China and much of Southeast Asia. China already has several dams on the upper Mekong.
The wildlife organisation WWF has warned that dams could irreversibly change the Mekong's ecosystem, damaging fisheries crucial to the livelihoods of over 60 million people.
It fears that the Mekong giant catfish, one of the world's biggest freshwater fish, could be driven to extinction if plans to build hydropower dams on the river go ahead.
Laos is Southeast Asia's smallest economy and one of the poorest countries in the world.
The landlocked former French colony of about six million people is seeking to reduce its dependency on agriculture and foreign aid, helped by growing exports of minerals and electricity from hydropower generation.
The government is aiming for at least eight percent annual economic growth, with the goal of escaping from underdevelopment by 2020.
"To reach the target, Laos needs development projects, including hydropower," Daovong said.
A Strategic Environmental Assessment report commissioned by the MRC in October urged countries in the lower Mekong River region to delay any decisions about building hydropower dams for 10 years.
There is also concern in the United States, where Senator Jim Webb, head of a congressional committee on Southeast Asia, said last week the dams could have "devastating environmental, economic and social consequences."

In a Brooklyn winery on a sultry July evening, an elegant crowd sips rosé and nibbles trout plucked from the gin-clear streams of upstate New York. The diners are here, with their checkbooks, to support a group called Chefs for the Marcellus, which works to protect the foodshed upon which hundreds of regional farm-to-fork restaurants depend. The foodshed is coincident with the Marcellus Shale, a geologic formation that arcs northeast from West Virginia through Pennsylvania and into New York State. As everyone invited here knows, the region is both agriculturally and energy rich, with vast quantities of natural gas sequestered deep below its fertile fields and forests.
In Pennsylvania, the oil and gas industry is already on a tear -- drilling thousands of feet into ancient seabeds, then repeatedly fracturing (or fracking) these wells with millions of gallons of highly pressurized, chemically laced water, which shatters the surrounding shale and releases fossil fuels. New York, meanwhile, is on its own natural-resource tear, with hundreds of newly opened breweries, wineries, organic dairies and pasturized livestock operations -- all of them capitalizing on the metropolitan area's hunger to localize its diet.
But there's growing evidence that these two impulses, toward energy and food independence, may be at odds with each other.

Triumph Review: Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by aprilcruisers
Overall Member Rating
Triumph Review
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
We went to our room 7270 to see if it was ready. It was not, but we dropped our carryon off, and went to explore. We booked the cruise 2 weeks prior, so we got a room across from the elevator. I was a little worried about noise, but it wasn't an issue. We asked our steward to empty the fridge, and he did no problem. He kept us in plenty of ice, but there is an ice machine further down the hall to get your own. Our room was plenty big More enough for the two of us, with lots of storage. We didn't come close to using all of it. The balcony was long, but not very deep. We had 3 chairs and a small table. We asked our steward if we could get a lounger, but he said no. One of the chairs reclined back, so we made do.
I got a soda package for $36.98. They had regular Dr. Pepper, but not diet. So I drank Diet Coke.
When we got to Progresso, we didn't have any excursions, but I had read on TripAdvisor about a restaurant. Sounded good to us, so off we went. The ride into town was on an un-airconditioned bus. Not too bad as long as we were moving. After he dropped us off, we headed down the Malcon (strip?) The restaurant is called La Casa del Malcon. Loved this place!! We walked past all the other places. Saw Buddy's. That was our second choice and so glad we didn't stop there. Not too impressed with the looks of it. Anyway, we kept going. It's a bit of a walk, but not too bad. Three quarters of a mile maybe. It's just past the police station. We were not disappointed. We were the only ones there and they made us feel welcome. They didn't speak English, but we made do with our limited Tex-Mex. The menu is in Spanish and English so no problems. My husband loved his shrimp, and I got fried fish. The whole fish! Not what I expected, but it was fine. The dessert was scrumptious! Nice views, great service, pleasant atmosphere. What more could you want!
Let me begin this part telling our thoughts on the ship. This ship was very confusing to us. We got turned around and had to backtrack several times. Could be just us though.... The main lobby area is not very big and the shops are small and crowded. The buffet was always crowded no matter what time we went. Since we had late dining, around 4 or 5 we would want a snack. Guess what? The buffet is closed down. No quick eating unless you want pizza or burger. Room service menu was very limited, which I was disappointed in. So we stocked up on snack items to keep for later in the afternoons.
The dining room was very nice and our tablemates were nice. Our waiters would bring our meals in a timely manner. Kept our water/tea glasses full. If you wanted something from the bar, that took a bit. Once they forgot me all together. Yikes! I know food is subjective, but we weren't blown away by the food. Nothing special. We've been on Princess and Royal Caribbean (we're not loyal), and we liked the food options on the other lines much better.
We didn't participate in any activities on board. We did go to the Punchline show. Lots of folks, so go early if you want a seat. We didn't see any other shows this trip either. Just not our thing.
Our room was quite large, and we enjoyed it very much. We both thought the bed was very comfortable. My husband asked our steward for extra pillows and received them, no problem. We spent a majority of our time on our balcony. We both like the sounds and sights from there. Our neighbors did play music out there the first sea day, and he enjoyed singing along. We got a kick out of his off-key renditions. Less

If you are not open to know few unheard things that happen in our country, kindly stop reading this particular blog.
One of my closest relatives living in a distant land went to a striptease recently. And his wife wasn't upset a bit (at least she sounded cool to me). And my alter ego immediately pondered - why are these Western countries so sick when it comes to sexuality! That particular feeling existed just for few microseconds, before I honestly asked myself. Wouldn't you enjoy the same if you were put in some Western country? And the answer was obviously YES! Until & unless people work on their sexual energy completely through meditation, none would be able to resist the energy a nude blonde would emanate!

Central 14, Lebanon 13
By TOMMY BRYAN
Trailing 14-13, with 2:45 remaining in regulation, Lebanon marched 75 yards in 11 plays all the way to the Central five yard line. Stopping the clock with :06 seconds left, the Blue Devil field goal unit came on for a potential 22-yard game-winning three pointer.
Central's first year head coach Brad Dedman burned back-to-back timeouts hoping to ice Lebanon's kicker. The attempt was pulled wide left -- giving Dedman his initial career win.
"We lost two fumbles and both of those really hurt," said LHS coach Bobby Brown, "we gave up a couple of punt returns -- one that set up the go-ahead score. We had our chances to put the game away -- well before that last kick."
Lebanon played well enough on defense to get the win -- giving up just 155 yards in total offense and six first downs to the Wildcats.
Junior quarterback Patrick Maynard accounted for 185 yards in total offense -- rushing 22 times for 108 and completing 6-of-11 passes for 77 yards. He threw a 30-yard TD strike to wideout Kelan Rhodes.
Senior Juicy Apple ran eight times for 46 yards and soph Ethan Copas had a solid varsity debut with 45 yards on six carries -- including a 26 yard burst around right end on his first attempt.
Tailback Darell Stewart led Wilson Central in rushing with 57 yards on 12 attempts -- including a 34-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. QB Hunter Cranford completed 3-of-5 passes for 19 yards and for the most part steered his team clear of trouble.
Defensively, senior linebacker Nathan Corn was in on several big hits, including three tackles for loss.
LHS hosts Rossview High in the home-opener Friday night while Wilson Central entertains Rhea County.
