Growing Up - Poem by Donna Nimmo
I didn't know why I was really born
I had a sad childhood and was always torn
Didn't know my daddy, didn't really know my mother
It was just us three, with my sister and my brother
We stuck together and formed a bond
We were all we had and were very fond
We would defend each other all our life
There was pain and fear and plenty of strife
We were abused and neglected most of the time
Then, you could starve and beat your kids, not a crime
We were passed around to home after home
We never had much to call our own
We had a different daddy once a week
They made us full of fear and awful meek
Some were very nice and some were very mean
Some would beat us constantly, and some would only scream
We all grew up rough and we all knew it
And if they knew about this poem, they would have a fit
Mother couldn't help it, her mind was very weak
All her life she suffered, her life was so bleak
But we survived it all and grew up too
And mother she forgot, and didn't have a clue
I loved her so much, through thick and thin
The angels came and got her, that's why I can pen!

'Growing Up' by Donna Nimmo is a wonderfully brave and honest poem, which encapsulates the brutal truth of a dysfunctional childhood of physical and emotional abuses and experiential scaring; requiring confrontation in adulthood, to acquire resolution and hopefully new insights strengths, and a long overdue peace of mind.10+ (Report) Reply

Flu figures down as cold takes hold
YOUR throat hurts, your head aches, you've got a cough and a slight fever. It must be the flu, right? Wrong. It's probably just a garden variety common cold.
Despite what colleagues might be telling you, the state has so far escaped the wrath of the influenza virus. Department of Human Services figures show that from January 1 until July 20, only 156 Victorians have contracted the flu, compared to 350 in the same period last year.
However, it's too soon to breathe easy, as the virus might yet take hold, according to Dr Ian Barr, deputy director of the World Health Organisation Influenza Centre in Melbourne.
Dr Barr said the flu season was starting to build up but it was difficult to predict how virulent the strain would be.
"We don't fully understand all the things that trigger a mild season compared to a bigger season," he said.
"What we do know is when we see strain changes, they can go around more quickly and be more virulent.
"We haven't seen any evidence of that yet but it is too early in the season to be sure."
Last year 592 Victorians were infected with the virus compared to just 206 in 2003.
Influenza, or the flu, is caused by a highly contagious virus spread through coughs and sneezes. Symptoms include high fever, chills, sore throat, headache, dry cough, weakness and body pain. Serious complications are rare but can be fatal. The symptoms of the common cold, also caused by a virus, are far less severe.
Chris James, a spokesman for the Victorian Employers' Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the organisation had not seen any evidence of increased absenteeism "but winter ain't over yet".
Department of Human Services spokesman Bram Alexander said people vulnerable to the flu, including older people and those with an underlying medical condition, should be immunised. People aged 65 or older are eligible for a free vaccine and recent figures show 82 per cent of Victorians in that age group have been immunised.
Dr Lynn Weekes, chief executive of the National Prescribing Service, said many people mistook the common cold for the flu. "Most people get a flu only once or twice in their life, not once a year like many think," she said.
One in four people also wrongly believe colds can be treated with antibiotics, according to a Newspoll survey commissioned by the service. Unnecessary use of the drugs can cause increased antibiotic resistance.
"Common colds need common sense, they don't need antibiotics," she said. "Antibiotics won't help your cold get better faster, won't stop your cold from getting worse and won't stop a cold from spreading to other people because they only work on bacteria - not on viruses."
· Influenza is a contagious virus spread by coughs and sneezes.
· Symptoms include high fever, sore throat, weakness, muscle and joint pain, headaches and a dry cough.
· Serious complications are rare but can include pneumonia and inflammation of the brain or heart. They can cause death.
· The common cold, or upper respiratory tract infection, is spread by sneezing, coughing and hand contact.
· Symptoms include a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, headache, red eyes, swelling of lymph glands and light fever.

The presentation of evidence in the capital murder trial for Vincent Leroy Calvert started today in the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court with opening statements made by both prosecuting and defense attorneys.
Calvert is on trial for the Feb. 4, 1996, murder of Robert Bennett in the 69-year-old mans Wheeling Avenue apartment. He is charged with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery.
Calvert was convicted on July 23, 1996, of aggravated murder with a specification and aggravated robbery in connection with Bennetts death, but an appeals court overturned the conviction and ordered Calvert be re-tried or released from prison.
The murder allegedly happened while Calvert and co-defendant Erwin Mallory robbed Bennett following a night of playing cards with him at his Wheeling Avenue apartment.
In September 1996, Calvert was sentenced to serve a life prison sentence without the possibility of parole for at minimum of 30 years of actual incarceration on the murder conviction.
He was also sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison on the aggravated robbery conviction, with the sentence to be served consecutively with the life prison sentence. Calvert was spared the death sentence.
Mallory was later tried for murder and aggravated robbery, and convicted. He is serving a life prison sentence at the Warren Correctional Institution.
Mallory is expected to testify against Calvert during the current trial. A taped statement by Mallory, which was admitted into evidence in the first trial, was reportedly the reason the appeals court overturned the first conviction.
As a result of using the taped statement, the court said Calverts attorneys were unable to cross-examine the witness to counter the testimony.
That violated Calvert constitutional right to confront witnesses testifying against him, ruled the appeals court.
On Tuesday, the jury was seated during the day-long selection process in the Common Pleas Court. Prosecutors were expected to start presenting their case today following the conclusion of opening statements.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- State and local governments and some private non-profit organizations in Ulster County affected by the June 19 storm and flooding are now eligible for federal disaster assistance, said officials at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Ulster County's eligibility is an amendment to the July 2 presidential disaster declaration making Public Assistance available to Delaware and Sullivan counties.
FEMA's Public Assistance program provides reimbursement for eligible emergency protective measures taken during the response to the event, including overtime, as well as debris removal and the repair of damaged public facilities not covered by insurance. Certain private non-profits that provide government services may also be eligible.
For projects that are approved FEMA will pay 75 percent of the cost and the state reimburses the remaining 25 percent. Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide.
Potential Public Assistance applicants will be briefed by the New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) in the coming weeks on the application process.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

Yesterday we posted a little tease for Masashi Kishimoto's original character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, along with news that the fighter will be heading to Europe in 2014. Shortly after, and to no one's surprise, Namco Bandai confirmed Revolution for release in North America, as well.
Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution is in development for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and promises a roster with 100 playable characters. As previously mentioned, among them is a brand new character by series creator Masashi Kishimoto.
It looks like we'll have to wait until Jump Festa later this month for further info, but rest assured those of you in the west will be able to dig into the latest Naruto game from CyberConnect2.

Or like what our editor in chief asked us, "Is Hyundai working on new engine for the compact hatchback city car?" Well, what we know is that the South Korean carmaker's project is the Veloster with turbo engine and will be presented in 2012 Detroit Motor Show next month. And for us, the Veloster is one of the hottest compact hatchback models in FWD! We repeat – in FWD, folks; how can you beat that?

text: I will be travelling to Italy soon, and would like to bring back something as a momento. I would have loved to have a suit made, but that's way beyond my budget right now, so that will have to wait for another time. Within this price range, I was thinking a) a few nice ties, b) a unique cloth or two that I could have made into jackets or a suit a few months after I get back, or c) one good pair of shoes. If I go for cloth, which mill(s) should I visit? At this point I was considering VBC, E. Thomas, and Loro Piana. Will the mills even sell directly to someone who walks in off the street? Also, I'm not a fabric conneseur. I can't determine if a fabric will make a good garment by feeling a tiny swatch, so I would basically be relying on the mill's name to ensure quality. Whatever I buy, I will be wearing it only occassionally, and I would hope to keep it for a long time. I would like it to be of high enough quality that I won't consider it to be cheap crap in a few years, as my sartorial standards increase. What would you buy with $500, for something quintessentially Italian? Do any of you know of brands of shoes or ties that can only be bought in Italy that offer excellent bang for the buck?

Ever wondered what a service-oriented website would actually look like in PHP? This session will show you! We'll start with the API, building a simple one with familiar tools. Next, we'll build a website that doesn't use a database - instead it talks to our API to fetch data. Then the tricky part: securing access between the two, allowing API access for both the website itself and for logged-in users on that site using OAuth. Whatever your aspirations as a developer, if they include building API backends for apps or sites to consume, building lightweight web frontends, or building secure and scalable systems in PHP, then this session is for you.

All historic covered bridges have a story to them, but the covered bridge in Danville is special.
"It was the economic center of Danville and was extremely important. People came from all over to get their wool processed, their grains ground, their wood sawn. So, it was a very bustling place," said Dave Houston of the Greenbanks Hollow Historical Society.
On the site right next to the covered bridge once stood a vibrant woolen mill with an entire village surrounding it with stores, boarding houses, homes, a gristmill, sawmill and a post office. You can imagine how life once was.
On Dec. 14, 1885, a fire destroyed the woolen mill, the covered bridge and several homes. And without the woolen mill, the once thriving village disappeared. But the cellar holes from that time dot the landscape.
Not long ago, the Greenbanks Hollow Historical society, mostly Dave Houston and Hollis Prior, took on the project of creating a public park here, with picnic tables, benches, and nature trails.
"This is my favorite spot, when I've nada. Stressful day, I sit down here and I just sit and listen and watch the water and it relaxes me immediately," Prior said. "People who lived here all their lives didn't even realize there were cellar holes here. When it became my and Dave's responsibility to make it into a park, and when we began to open up places, people said, 'I didn't even know this was here.'"
Now, it is acres of lawn and woods, taken care of with pride. Two friends, bringing Greenbanks Hollow back to life again.
Not all covered bridges are particularly old. Dick Spaulding built a bridge over a stream on his Cabot property in 1988.
"It's just remarkable the number of people who take pictures of it," Spaulding said.
"We get a lot of people, especially in the evening in the sunset," said Eleanor Thompson, Dick's wife.
Visitors and locals appreciate Spaulding's work. One neighbor described it as the most beautiful corner of the earth.
It's time for the annual NEK Fall Foliage festival and today it's Cabot's turn in the spotlight. The highlight is the turkey dinner served at the Cabot School Gym.
Farther down the road in Northfield, there is another cluster of bridges, three of them like ducks in a row. Rosario Cadorette has a bird's-eye view of the third bridge and has one of the prettiest maples in Northfield on his front lawn.
Rosario Cadorette: We like it here, we appreciate it.
Sharon Meyer: Do you get many tourists here?
Rosario Cadorette: Yes, as a matter of fact they come and park in the yard. They ask if they can park, you know, and I say sure, help yourself. A lot of people stop and take pictures, especially when they come out of the bridge; they look up there up the road. We're pretty proud of them.
Covered bridges and fall foliage-- something locals and tourists alike appreciate.

Divine Heresy is the new band of former Fear Factory guitarist
Dino Cazares. Cazares left the breakthrough, industrial-metal
band years ago, actually forcing a brief break-up right as
the band hit its peek after now legendary albums Soul
of a New Machine, Demanufacture and, to a lesser
extent, Obsolete. Cazares has dabbled in other projects,
most notably the Mexican murder-squad Brujeria, but he has
yet to do anything as strong as his former band.
It was well documented in the press that Cazares' main reason
for the split was a rift with vocalist Burton C. Bell. Whatever
the case, he has found a new Burton C. Bell in the unknown
Tommy Vext. I'll be honest here. If I had just heard Divine
Hersey without knowing who they are, my first guess would
be that it was the new Fear Factory album. The Demanufacture album has the biggest impact on Bleed the Fifth and
understandably so, it being Fear Factory's strongest release.
All of the elements are here: Vext's distinguishable growl
with melodic clean choruses; rapid-fire machine gun drumming
courtesy of Tim Yeung (Hate Eternal, Vital Remains); synchronized,
downtuned guitar riffs; and in-your-face anthemic choruses,
a la the Obsolete era. All this being said, if you
are a fan of Fear Factory, grab this up immediately. The only
obvious difference between Divine Hersey and Cazares' former
band that I hear is more of a technical death metal influence,
mostly due to Yeung's playing in Hate Eternal. "Rise
of the Scorned" and "Royal Blood Heresy"
are about as fast as any Hate Eternal material. Effects and
keyboards are used but not to the extent of Fear Factory.
After the initial shock wears off from the similarities in
sound, Bleed the Fifth starts with a loud statement
on songs like the title track, "Failed Creation"
and "The Threat is Real," on which Vext repeatedly
barks, "This threat is fucking real!" Well, it
sure sounds legit. The band sets the bar too high with this
opening destructive trio and doesn't ever fully regain the momentum,
as the album fades at its close. Cazares still sounds like
the Cazares of old and is heavier than ever. He also throws
in some new tricks for good measure."Savior Self"
and "False Gospel" feature some of Cazares' new
guitar tricks with an epic, Middle-Eastern sound. Logan Mader
(Machine Head, Soulfly) of Dirty Icon produced and mixed the
album with Lucas Banker. This was the logical choice for a
guitarist's band, as Mader always makes the guitars jump out
in the listener's face and shred through your speakers.
After several listens, the line between Divine Heresy and
Fear Factory becomes a little clearer, but diehard
FF fans may be offended at first. I am a big FF fan,
but I didn't mind so much, especially since their last couple
releases have been less than stellar. It is good to have Cazares
back, as no one plays a heavier seven string. So now the question:
Do we need another Fear Factory? Well, like they always say,
I guess two is better than one.

In a bid to get a foothold in the wearable computer market even ahead of Apple's (AAPL) much anticipated entry, Google (GOOG) has unveiled Android Wear, a version of its popular Android operating system specially adapted for wearable devices.
The early launch of Android Wear could give Google a jump on Apple in partnering with app developers to produce software for future devices. It will also allow manufacturers to launch Android-based wristwatches before Apple brings its own much-rumored iWatch to market, the New York Times notes.
Here are 5 things to know about Android Wear:
- LG's G Watch and Motorola's Moto 360 will be among the first smartwatches to run Android Wear.
- Google says that other Android Wear-running smartwatches are under development by Samsung, HTC and Asus.
- Users can use voice commands, preceded by saying "O.K. Google" to control Android Wear devices.
- Google released Android Wear to app developers this week.
- Android Wear features the Google Now virtual voice assistant.

Jonny Greenwood made an appearance at Concert For Care at the Royal Albert Hall Today. Below is an interview from The Times with Jonny on how he gets inspired by orchestra's, tells about his short musical education, his heroes Penderecki and Messiaen. And his Radiohead bandmates are only 'a bit interested' in his classical work.
"It's strange," he says. "With all these orchestral pieces I reach a point halfway through the writing process when I've been stuck alone in a room for days, and feel it's not worth it. But then I hear the orchestra play the piece, and it's the most fun thing in the world. Then I just want to get started on the next one."
He's been infatuated with orchestras, it turns out, since his teenage years as a viola player. "Yes, a viola player," he sighs. "Our reputation is either that we are people with no personalities, or lazy violinists who want an easy way into orchestras. All of which is possibly a bit true." The viola certainly got Greenwood into the Thames Vale Youth Orchestra. A formative experience. "I'd been in school orchestras and never seen the point. But in Thames Vale I was suddenly with all these 18-year-olds who could actually play in tune. I remember thinking: 'Ah, that's what an orchestra is supposed to sound like!'"
Greenwood also took A-level music. "I learnt how to harmonise Bach chorales. Glad I did, too. I'm still using the skills."
He was actually on track to learn more – enrolled on a music course at what was then Oxford Poly – when fate, in the shape of EMI, intervened. "I was three weeks into the course when our band landed a recording contract. That was that."
But those three weeks were enough! One lecturer had played a recording of the Polish avant-garde composer Krzysztof Penderecki, and Greenwood was hooked. He still is, as his There Will Be Blood soundtrack amply shows. "I was astonished that Penderecki produced such amazing sounds with such old technology – an orchestra."
Penderecki is one of Greenwood's classical music heroes. The other, even more improbably, is the mystic French composer Olivier Messiaen – he of the huge works for church organ, mathematically derived modes, and passion for birdsong. "Most of my BBC pieces were written within Messiaen's modes," Greenwood says.
But Messiaen? He's an awfully long way from Radiohead, isn't he? Not in Greenwood's joined-up view of the musical universe. "You know, people from my background are made to feel that it's wrong to have opinions about classical music."
Because it's thought that you don't have the expertise to form an opinion? "Exactly. So I found it quite healthy, particularly at school, to think about classical composers and rock bands in the same way. The reason I loved Messiaen, for instance, was that he was still alive and writing. To me that was as exciting as a great old rock band still being around. Same with Penderecki. His strange orchestral music was quite dark, but it felt similar to the strange electronic music coming out of Manchester."
So ignorance can be bliss, musically? "I'm not saying that. There's ignorance on both sides. A lot of my friends who studied classical music were very nice – chess- playing types, mostly – but their idea of popular music began and ended with Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles."
And what of the music being created now by those "chess-playing types" – young classically trained composers? "I hear a lot of modern orchestral music that sounds very anxious about what its next note is going to be," Greenwood replies. "You can feel the tension of the person writing it, and that makes me tense."
That's not an unfair description of much post-serial classical music. But what of Greenwood's own orchestral writing? How did he go about it? "Very cautiously. You can hear that in the pieces. The first two or three minutes are claustrophobic, as though I'm afraid to do anything dramatic."
Did he take lessons? "No. But I've read Alfred Blatter's book about orchestration from cover to cover a few times. There's still so much I don't know, though."
What do the players think of him? "Someone warned me at the beginning that whichever orchestra I work with, a third of the players will like what I do, a third will hate it, and a third will just get on with the job. But the BBC CO have been amazing."
Greenwood likes to think through the philosophy behind his pieces before writing a note of them. ("Well, I don't know how much is thinking and how much putting off the hard work," he grins.) Popcorn Superhet Receiver was a response to the babble of background noise that constantly affects how we hear music on the radio. Smear came out of his fascination with the hauntingly eerie ondes martenot: the primitive electronic instrument much used by Messiaen, and latterly employed by Greenwood to grace several Radiohead tracks.
"I love those ancient electronic instruments," he says, "because the focus then was on trying to answer the fundamental question 'How can we make electricity a musical thing?' Since electronic keyboards came in, it's just been about sequencing. We've lost the adventure of making new musical instruments."
How have Radiohead fans responded to Greenwood's orchestral adventures? "We're lucky to have fans that expect something different each time," he replies. "Or aren't disappointed when they hear something that's difficult to understand at first."
And the other members of Radiohead? "I think they're proud, and a bit interested." But do they actually come to Greenwood's concerts? "No," Greenwood laughs. "But they ask for recordings. I tell them it's not the same."


text:
Via Right Wing Watch, here's Glenn Beck, a part of the American media, complaining about a conspiracy by the American media to make him look like a conspiracy theorist …
I'm pretty sure that sentence loops back on itself and implodes.
Glenn's claim is that the Rebecca Vitsmun, the Oklahoma tornado survivor who told Wolf Blitzer that "I'm Actually an Atheist.", was a plant by the media to promote atheism.
He jumps straight from that to questioning why the media labels him a conspiracy theorist. Without apparent irony, he traces it back Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law professor and former member of Obama's cabinet. Sustein wrote a paper, now available on SSRN, on the nature of conspiracy theories and the appropriate government response to them.
It's actually an interesting paper, and thanks to Beck for pointing me to it. One of Sustein's conclusions is that Government should maintain a more active "countermisinformation" campaign to target conspiracy theories, because there is an advantage to dealing with multiple theories over just the few that seem to gain popular traction:
When government rebuts a particular theory while ignoring most others, the legitimating effect arises at least in part because of a contrast between the foreground and the background: the inference is that government has picked the theory it is rebutting out of the larger set because this theory, unlike the others, is inherently plausible or is gaining traction among some sectors of the mass audience. Rebutting a larger fraction of the total background set reduces the strength of this inference as to each theory chosen for rebuttal.
He also suggests that government agents could engage in (and this sounds more dire than it actually is) "cognitive infiltration of extremist groups." Basically, he suggests that government workers could openly enter meetings and chat rooms and explain facts to groups that have entered a closed information loop. It wouldn't convince anyone, but it would introduce doubt and hopefully weaken extremist groups. Beck seems to be reading all this in a conspiratorial way, and concluding that Sustein wants to label all political opponents as conspiracy theorists:
"He said the government should call anyone who stands against them a conspiracy theorist. This isn't a conspiracy theory. This is what he wrote about. This was his way for the government — and he said, 'Even if it turns out to be true, you have to label people a conspiracy theorist because it isolates them.'"
All I can say is that I don't find this in Sustein's paper.
And finally, I think this deserves a meme:

I tried to watch this one before and gave up on the 2nd episode, because I didn't care for the story line. After reading some of the reviews I decided to give it another try and finished the drama this time. I was pleasantly surprised. This is a good one!
This drama was a bit of a disappointment because it starts off so promising and then somewhere toward the middle it starts to drag and become uninteresting. The lead actress and actor were wonderful and had good chemistry but the story just lost momentum. The end was a let down for me - not awful - just not satisfying.

"I think I'm a butt guy. I just like butts. I'm attracted to them … Do I have any favorites? Nicki Minaj has got a nice one."
– Justin Bieber gives a shout out to Nicki Minaj's booty in Q Magazine. Not surprising considering he's admitted to crushing on Beyonce and Kim Kardashian in the past, both well endowed in the booty department. But now that he's Selena Gomez's boyfriend, it might have been wise of him to mention her butt as his favorite. At least, if he intends to keep her. [Entertainment Wise]

I admit, I'm not quite in a place where I might wear a Paris Hilton style "Vagina Skirt" and strut down the High Street with my bare legs... But since arriving in London and seeing plus size women in shorter/tighter clothing than I wore in Australia (I wore a lot of long, flowing cotton dresses), I now feel much more confident with a shorter, tighter look. Five years ago - even with leggings, I would NEVER have worn a short skirt or pair of mid-length shorts. But now I will. In fact, my favourite outfit at the moment is a singlet top, with tiny shorts and leggings. My thighs aren't bare - but I've learned to love them more. Learning to accept and like my thighs also means I'm okay to wear dresses which sit above my knee... I took a while getting to that stage! But as I say, I can finally wear entirely bare legs to the pool or to the beach now...
"Honey, you look cute in those shorts".
WOW. I had done it. That morning, I'd left the house without any affirmation, with only a smidge of self belief and genuine worry about my thighs in the shortness of the shorts. Through the day, I had managed to find me usual and genuine, "I look fucking rad" feeling - but it HAD taken time... I took these mirror photos for you all, to get your opinions, but also to write this post. For the record, I KNOW my legs aren't bare - but I still felt worried heading out into the public and I had to "get brave" in order to do so. At the end of my day I came home feeling good and confident. THAT's an achievement. To top it off, AFTER finding confidence, the person I love then affirmed my choice. I don't know if that sounds naff - that him complimenting me, capped my confidence for the day - but it did. I had found my confidence on my own, but someone I like, complimenting me, had helped it to solidify. It reminded me of my day at the beach with Zoe. The shorts will now hit high rotation on my regular roster.
So, my lovely reader... When was the last time you complimented someone you love?
Is that a strange question? Maybe... But hell, it can have a bloody good effect.

Requesting a renewal and lease expiration are not the same thing. If
you set a lease expiration of 7 days, the client will request renewal
after 3.5 days, but it will continue to use the existing IP until a) it
expires, b) the renewal request is denied and the offered address
changes. Given that no other machine should have that IP, there would be
no reason for b, however if you take the client machine offline for 5
days after receiving an IP, it should still be valid and available up
until the expiration specified. It sounds like in the current
implementation that IP address would be flagged as stale and subject for
recovery after only 3.5 days instead. If I've misunderstood what's
actually happening then my apologies, but it certainly sounds like it's

Brain Awareness Science Saturday at Gillespie
Learn about the brain from Stetson University neuroscientists Camille Tessitore King, Psychology, and Mike King, Biology, and their undergraduate students at the March 16 Science Saturday at Stetson's Gillespie Museum. This Science Saturday event is part of a global campaign, co-sponsored by the Dana Foundation and the Society for Neuroscience, to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of neurological study during Brain Awareness Week.
Once a month, the Gillespie Museum welcomes young scientists to its Science Saturday programs for a chance to learn scientific principles from Stetson faculty and undergraduates through games, puzzles and hands-on activities. On Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., the focus will be on the brain, the nervous system, and the field of neuroscience. Visitors are invited to drop in throughout the morning for informal learning and fun.
"Your brain is involved in everything you do," explains Dr. Camille Tessitore King. "Understanding how it works not only can be fun and incredibly interesting, but also can serve as a first step in leading a more 'brain-healthy' lifestyle."
The 10 learning stations will offer mind-boggling demonstrations and brain-teasing games; a make-it/take-it corner for building a model of a neuron or illustrating the nervous system; and interactive displays and information tables.
Free admission and open to all. Students under 16 must be with an adult. The Gillespie Museum is located on the southeast corner of Stetson's campus, at 234 East Michigan Ave., DeLand. For more information call the museum at 386.822.7330 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ann Coulter, conservative pundit, is not known for shying away from expressing controversial ideas and opinions on the national stage — but many were angered by an offensive tweet the TV personality and writer sent last night about the third and final presidential debate.
GOP contender Mitt Romney adopted a softer stance than incumbent opponent Barack Obama, and according to Ann Coulter, Romney was a gentleman. Coulter herself did not espouse the same grace in her assessment of the Republican hopeful's performance.
The blonde Republican media star took to Twitter to commend her candidate, and offend the families of many with disabilities as she expressed herself. On the microblogging service, Coulter garnered a bunch of retweets and angry replies when she tweeted:
"I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard."
As of now, more than 1,108 people have "favorited" Coulter's "retarded" tweet.
Politicker quoted a man named Dan Niblock, who is a father to a small child with Down syndrome. Niblock appealed to Coulter two weeks ago to stop calling people with whom she disagreed "retarded," and the blog quotes the dad as having said:
"I want Ann Coulter to apologize for using a form of hate speech that is particularly searing to people who have special needs. This isn't the first time she has tweeted the word 'retarded' to insult her rivals, and she needs to stop. Her behavior is not acceptable."
Coulter has responded, but not to apologize or use another word to articulate her disagreement. Instead, she says:
"The only people who will be offended are too retarded to understand it."
Coincidentally, we're sure, Coulter is also promoting a brand-new book, Mugged. Do you think use of the word "retarded" in the way Ann Coulter is in the habit of using it is offensive, or is it a part of the vernacular that is common enough that it doesn't bother you?
I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) October 23, 2012

I Would Like to Get Zeltiq on my Abs and Flanks but Plan to Get Pregnant Again. Concerns? Will this affect my future pregnancy?

Zeltiq CoolSculpting and Pregnancy
Thank you for your question. You do not need to worry about getting pregnant after having CoolSculpting treatment. However, I would not seek treatment if you are trying to get pregnant. It is also best to refrain from any body contouring procedures if you are planning on getting pregnant within the next 6 months. It is also advisable to wait till after pregnancy to have any body contouring procedures. I hope this helps. Best of Luck!

Cool sculpting will not effect you down the road
Body reshaping can be performed with a cannula that removes fat via liposuction or with noninvasive technology like Cool Sculpting. With Cool Sculpting there is no cannula inserted into your body. All treatments are performed on the surface from the outside in using technology that freezes the fat. Don't hesitate to give us a call in Austin regarding a Body Reshaping Consult at the Upper Room. On our Facebook Page there is an Interview I recently did with KVUE, a local news station in Austin, that was picked by affiliates around the United States, including Miami. During the Interview we discussed the technology of Cool Sculpting as well as it application process.
The discomfort from treatment does resolve. Taking over the counter tylenol or naproxen resolves this in the majority of cases. If you have swelling that is persistent then a waist binder is helpful.

CoolSculpting effects on pregnancy
CoolSculpting and pregnancy
CoolSculpting, like most aesthetic devices have not been tested on pregnant women. In my practice, women trying to conceive are not good candidates for CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

CoolSculpting can be done prior to conception
As long as you have not had difficulty having children previously, then CoolSculpting can be done prior to you conceiving. Elective cosmetic treatment, including CoolSculpting, is generally not done during pregnancy. If however, a patient has not been able to conceive easily and has very little body fat, which has been shown to interfere with conception, then CoolSculpting should be avoided preceding the attempt to conceive and wait until after delivery and nursing.
Coolsculpting before pregnancy
Coolsculpting affects the fat not the organs beneath. It should not be peformed during or immediately after pregnancy.
Zeltiq and pregnancy
Thank you for your question.
You can absolutely have the CoolSculpting procedure now and it will not effect future pregnancies.
Best Wishes!

No Effect on Pregnancy
I would NOT recommend Zeltiq if you are pregnant. But, to treat areas after pregnancy is not a problem. The fat removal is permanent regardless if you become pregnant again. There have been no studies that show the effect of Zeltiq on an unborn fetus, therefore I would not undergo Zeltiq if you thought or knew you were pregnant.

The Netherlands is a trading nation. Most Dutch remain instinctively pro-European. There is no popular call to leave Europe or the single currency. Yet many Dutch resent the idea that Europe might interfere with their health care and pensions. They no longer assume that dealmaking in Brussels is fair and do not trust their own politicians to sort out the mess. And they do not want to surrender more Dutch savings or Dutch sovereignty. To shore up the euro, Germany foresees give-and-take in which core countries pay to save the periphery in exchange for a more federal Europe. To the Dutch, that looks like take-and-take.

Is It Just Me, or Is It Getting Warm Around Here?
You can feel it: spring finally has sprung after a winter that seemed endless. The snow and the ice are vanishing, and from what I'm seeing, so is the chilling effect that has slowed the pace of print industry mergers and acquisitions (M&As) over the last several years.
Calling the M&A market "hot to trot" would be an exaggeration at this point, but there are good reasons to think that fewer players are suffering from cold feet. Interest in transactions is picking up. Banks are more open to proposals for funding M&As. The gap between the prices sellers want and those that buyers will pay is closing. This is the thaw that dealmakers have been waiting for since the recession of 2008-2009 nearly froze M&A activity in place.
The warm feeling also is spreading to firms in the $5 million to $15 million range, a segment in which M&As sometimes can be challenging to initiate and structure. Although a company with revenues in this range might be profitable enough to justify a purchase price of $2.5 million to $5 million, its modest size may keep it from attracting the attention of national consolidators or private-equity investors from outside the industry. This certainly was the case while the worst of the recession was upon us.
Now, however, renewed confidence in print markets is encouraging these M&A opportunity-seekers to take a second look. Also seeing the green light are individuals and groups of individuals within the industry who have held onto their dreams of ownership but who, until now, have lacked the financial leverage to turn their dreams into viable deals.
I'm currently representing two buyers of this type—industry veterans with purchasing ambitions they're prepared to fund with the cash they've saved after years of working for other people. That capital, together with eased restrictions on lending by the banks, is what gives printers like these a credible shot at acquiring companies of their own.

Electronics not included in Aspinwall trash collection
Aspinwall residents will have to find a way to dispose of televisions, computers and other electronics this year.
Borough officials opted not to pickup the optional $3 per quarter surcharge from Waste Management to provide the service.
State law that went into effect this year prohibits electronics from being placed out on the curb for disposal.
Waste Management offered to perform that service and charge residents $3 more per quarter but that would mean the borough would have to put the contract out for bid again, Councilman Joe Noro said.
Company officials also said Waste Management could not allow only some in the community to accept the $3 charge.
"They refused to do that. Either everyone opts in or the community can't do it at all," Noro said.
Solicitor Steve Korbel said the contract will be up in a year unless the borough accepts an option to extend it.
He said company officials have been offering the same deal to other communities he represents but it would cost them too much to send a truck to collect items from only select residents.
"They're not being very flexible," Korbel said.
Allegheny County does have locations where people can recycle and dispose of those items.
Councilman Joe Giuffre said since other options were available, the next year should be fine with the current contract.
"It wouldn't be like there wasn't anywhere they could get rid of it," Giuffre said.
Noro said he would continue to talk with Waste Management representatives to see if there are any options to help residents.

Tokyo (AFP) Feb 1, 2013
The United States' pivot to Asia will not mean any new bases in the region, but existing alliances will be strengthened and modernised, the chief of US Pacific Command (PACOM) told reporters Friday.
"The US has no intention of establishing more bases" in Asia, Admiral Samuel Locklear told reporters in a telephone news conference from PACOM headquarters in Hawaii.
"What we hope to do with our partners... is to continue to operate closely," he said, adding "this part of the world has been pretty safe" in the past 60 years.
The comments came as Washington increases military exercises with allies and gradually moves its most advanced ships, weaponry and aircraft to Asia as part of a long-term strategy.
The shift comes as several Asian countries face friction with China over disputed territory and borders in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
"There has been significant speculation, scepticism about the US rebalance towards the Asia Pacific region. Let me just say this: The rebalance is a strategy of collaboration and cooperation," Locklear said.
"And the keystone of our rebalance will be... the strategy to modernise and strengthen our five Pacific treaty alliances," he said.
He also said Australia is "a critical pillar" in the US rebalance and that the Asia-Pacific region cannot be considered in isolation from the Indian Ocean, while welcoming New Delhi's role in building security networks.
"There is no simple answer to one security organisation that will work" like NATO in Europe, because the region "is too diverse", he said.
"So the model that -- sometimes people ask me like this 'why don't you have a NATO in the Indo-Asia-Pacific?' -- I served in NATO before, it's a fun organisation but I don't see a parallel here," he said.
"I'd rather (see) what I refer to as a patchwork of security relationships in various parts of this vast region that work together to be able to sense and understand where the security moment is, and to work together to ensure the (security) environment is strong enough to withstand any shocks.
"India is taking a leadership role in working to build some of these security networks, and we welcome that," he said.
Asked about the ongoing tensions between China and Japan over territorial claims to a set of islands in the East China Sea, Locklear repeated that the US did not take a position on the archipelago's final sovereignty.
"What we do expect is these disputes will be done in a fashion without coercion, and that ultimately will be satisfying and decided between governments and without military interventions."
In the wider Asia-Pacific region, he said it was important to build "a code of conduct" in waters that every country, including China, will be obliged to follow.
He also noted the United States is encouraging the nations that have territorial disputes in the South China Sea and the East China Sea "not to introduce military hardware aspects that could lead to miscalculation".
Japan and China have repeatedly butted diplomatic heads over who owns Tokyo-controlled islands called the Senkakus in Japan and the Diaoyus in China. Beijing separately has disputes with other regional capitals, including Manila and Hanoi.

Country Info: Mauritania
Economic Background
Half the population still depends on agriculture and livestock for a livelihood, even though many of the nomads and subsistence farmers were forced into the cities by recurrent droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. Mauritania has extensive deposits of iron ore, which account for nearly 40% of total exports.
The nation's coastal waters are among the richest fishing areas in the world but overexploitation by foreigners threatens this key source of revenue. The country's first deepwater port opened near Nouakchott in 1986. Before 2000, drought and economic mismanagement resulted in a buildup of foreign debt. In February 2000, Mauritania qualified for debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative and nearly all of its foreign debt has since been forgiven. A new investment code approved in December 2001 improved the opportunities for direct foreign investment. Mauritania and the IMF agreed to a three-year Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) arrangement in 2006.
Mauritania made satisfactory progress, but the IMF, World Bank, and other international actors suspended assistance and investment in Mauritania after the August 2008 coup.
Since the presidential election in July 2009, donors have resumed assistance. Oil prospects, while initially promising, have largely failed to materialize, and the government has placed a priority on attracting private investment to spur economic growth. The Government also emphasizes reduction of poverty, improvement of health and education, and privatization of the economy. Economic growth remained around 5% in 2010-12, mostly because of rising prices of gold, copper, iron ore, and oil. (Source: World Factbook, 2013)

And so, to the Bell Centre for game three of the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens.
The teams have had a couple of days to decant their emotions from Saturday's thrilling Boston comeback – and engage in some low-grade back-and-forth over comments made by Bruins rookies Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug about Montreal goalie Carey Price – but now it's back to business.
The series is tied 1-1, and no one need emphasize the importance of Game 3 (7 p.m., CBC, RDS).
According to whowins.com, the team that takes a 2-1 series lead ends up advancing about 70 per cent of the time, and the Bruins have won their last 12 game three contests under coach Claude Julien.
Julien brushed aside Monday's sortie from his counterpart and former junior hockey rival Michel Therrien ("that's the Bruins," he said of the gamesmanship) but couldn't resist getting a shot in.
"I said it yesterday and I can say it again, we hope that people will write the things that were actually said. It's that Carey Price, I had him for several weeks with Team Canada, he's one of the best goalies in the National Hockey League. I don't think we're here talking about weaknesses or things like that," Julien said. "It's pretty obvious that thanks to him his team is very good at the moment, he's been playing some great hockey from the start. Some things said by a young player were taken out of context, and something bigger was made of it. As I said earlier, we're looking after our own stuff and we're keeping the focus on what we need to do on the ice, not off the ice."
As far as what will happen on the ice, Therrien said he's not going to get too bogged down in trying to get advantageous match-ups, as the last change in theory will allow him to do.
Asked whether he plans on getting winger Max Pacioretty away from Boston defenceman Zdeno Chara – Julien has had the big Norris finalist on the ice for basically every shift that Pacioretty and his linemates played in the first two games.
"You have to be careful with that. With the defensemen, especially in the first and third periods, hard changes can be made at any moment. The Bruins bench is very close by in the first and the third, so those changes are made quickly and regularly. I don't want to cut the tempo of a game just to try and match lines against defensemen," he said.
The Habs are expected to make a couple of lineup changes; though Rene Bourque has recovered from the illness that kept him out of practice on Monday, it's expected that defenceman Douglas Murray will draft in beside Mike Weaver on the third pair, replacing Francis Bouillon.
It also appears that Brandon Prust, who is believed to be hindered by rib and shoulder ailments, will sit in favour of Travis Moen.
The Bruins are expected to stick with Saturday's winning lineup.
The game will also be a playoff baptism of sorts for several Boston players, including Hamilton, Krug, and winger Reilly Smith.
Asked whether he would be providing any advice to his young teammates on how to handle the Bell Centre's super-charged atmosphere, Chara said no.
"The best way is to kind of let them kind of experience it," he said. "You don't want to overplay it or underplay it, you just want to let them have that experience on their own."
The referees for the match-up are Chris Rooney and Tim Peel, Boston agitator Brad Marchand said after the team's morning skate that discipline will be key.
"I think it's pretty clear that they've got a very good power play, we knew that, and the majority of their goals have come on the power play, so we've got to stay out of the box. We've got to focus on the game, not what has happened," he said.
Marchand, a frequent target of the Montreal boo-birds, said he loves playing in the Bell Centre, adding that "I think the crowd's very emotional here, and anytime something happens they are very loud, and sometimes it can draw the ref's attention to a certain area or stuff like that. They play very well at home I think because of that emotion, they're able to get a lot of momentum from that. And it puts a lot of teams on their heels."Report Typo/Error

Our restaurant prepares delicious Thai and Western food. We have hi-speed internet access and wifi free for you. An extra rooftop space is for you to relax while enjoying the spectacular view of the entire city!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We recently stayed at the Green Tulip House. We were met by very friendly staff who helped carry our luggage to the room. The manager (Noi - I think) spoke very good English and was very helpful with regards to places to visit and how to get to there. She did not try and push trips or treks upon us, however was very helpful with the trip we did decide to take. The room and bathroom was very clean and the house itself is fantastic - a big old house with wooden floors throughout and a sun terrace on the top floor. The food was good and you receive a free breakfast (tea/coffee, toast and juice). Watch out for the crazy chef called Stella - she is bonkers! The House is about a ten minute walk from the 'main strip' tourist area which means you get a good night sleep as it is very quiet.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
This is the first hostel/guest house that was true to what the pictures depicted. It is an extremely clean, spacious guest house w/ a friendly staff. My sister and I were very pleased. We spent 2 nights in a room with a private bath and then switched to a shared bath for 4 nights. We like the shared bath better. It was on the 5th floor w/ a private balcony. We will definitely stay there again when in the area.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I was made to feel welcomed by Stella and Nine, all the staff were great always helpful. its a great place to meet other people from all over the world.
Great food tooo
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Even though this was the most basic hostel we stayed in during our travels it was our absolute favourite mainly because of the incredibly friendly environment. The 2 ladies who ran it (nine and stella) were very accomodating and crazy in a friendly and good way. When we went trecking overnight it was lovely to return to the Green tulip. We ate at the hostel every night because Stella the chef made such tasty and cheap dishes, and there was always a nice vibe. Organisng trips was made very easy, We were very sad to leave. People like this are very much the reason we fell in love with Thailand.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Nice clean and friendly accommodation. It is a little way from the night bazaar however there are plenty of good (and cheap) eateries near by.
They have plenty of tours available, we didn't do any but other people we met had and there were no complaints from what we heard.
One tour on offer was Doi Soithep temple, but we easily grabbed a Sawngthaews up to the temple for about 40 THB each and then paid 30 THB for entrance. And it is worth going to see.
Rooms - we got a twin with shared bathroom, nice view and a balcony.
Food - we had breakfast included and did also eat dinner there once when it was raining and we were lazy ! the food was good.
Nine and Stella are very welcoming and the eating/chillout area is a good place to chat/meet other people.

Coohills introduces Beats on the Creek summer concert series
Last Tuesday at Coohills.
Coohills Facebook page
Coohills, 1400 Wewatta Street, has launched a new summer concert series: Beats on the Creek will take place every Tuesday on the restaurant's patio -- and the adjacent bridge over Cherry Creek -- from 5 to 8:15 p.m.
"We're thrilled to be offering lower downtown a concert series in an urban setting," says co-owner Dian Coohill. "We'll also be supporting the Greenway Foundation, which is dedicated to preserving the beauty we enjoy right next to our restaurant."
The lineup of local acts includes Rob Drabkin tonight, Under a Blood Red Sky on July 24, Hazel Miller Band on July 31, and Blackberry Bushes String band on August 7.
Food, wine and cocktails will be available for purchase during the concerts and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Greenway Foundation; a nonprofit whose efforts to advance the South Platte River and its surrounding tributaries were recently profiled in Westword. For more information on Beats on the Creek, visit Coohills' Facebook page.

NCAA Championship Field | NCAA Brackets
NCAA Championships Homepage/Webcasts
Event-By-Event Preview and Breakdown
Updated Outdoor School Record Book
PHILADELPHIA - University of Pennsylvania sophomore distance runner Leslie Kovach will compete at the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Women's Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday with All-America status and a national title on the line. Kovach competes in the 5,000 meters starting at 8:10 p.m. (CST), on Drake University's distinct blue track at Drake Stadium.
Kovach, the indoor and outdoor school record holder in the 5,000 meters, automatically qualified for the NCAA championship meet when she finished among the top five in her heat on May 28 at the NCAA East Preliminary Round in Bloomington, Ind. Overall, she finished sixth with a time of 16:16.16 in her first NCAA appearance. That was the second-best time of her career. It was four seconds faster than any other Quaker in history, but still about five seconds behind the school record time she set at the Penn Relays in April.
Kovach is the first Penn women's athlete to reach the finals of the NCAA Outdoor Championships since Jesse Carlin, C'08, did so in the 800 meters in 2008. The only Penn women's outdoor All-American is Chris Lundy who accomplished the feat in the 3,000 meters in 1992. No Penn woman has ever won an NCAA outdoor national title. The last Penn track and field athletes to win a national championship was in 2003 when Sam Burley claimed the national title in the 800 meters and Brian Chaput did so with an Ivy League record in the javelin.
Kovach, who is also the school record holder in the 10,000 meters, has had a stellar 2010-11 campaign. She was All-Ivy and all-region during the cross country season. During the indoor track season, she earned All-East honors in the 5,000 meters and then claimed All-East honors in the 3,000 meters during the outdoor campaign. The Irwin, Pa., native also ranks among the top six all-time at Penn in both the indoor and outdoor 3,000 meters.
A full recap will be available at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of the event.

The costs of war 60 years after VP Day
Page Tools
Six decades after the Allied victory in the Pacific effectively marked the end of World War II, the ranks of those who served and even those who can remember the war are thinning. Hostilities ended on this day 60 years ago. The formal surrender came on September 2, 1945. For anyone aged under 70, World War II is a human crisis experienced vicariously, through the eyes and ears of relatives, friends and others who were there. In the popular imagination, that war entered the realm of history long ago. The interpretation and reinterpretation of these events continue.
Australians have, of course, been away to wars in the intervening years. Indeed, Australians are on active service overseas today. But for later generations the scale of World War II and especially the war in the Pacific can sometimes be forgotten. Almost 1 million citizens out of a population of just 7.4 million served in the armed forces during the war. Unlike World War I, this was not a conflict fought on distant foreign fields. Once Japan entered the war in December 1941, the invasion that Australians had long dreaded became a distinct possibility. When Singapore fell and bombs rained on Darwin and other northern centres in early 1942, those fears appeared to have been confirmed. In the end it was probably Australia's distance that provided its greatest measure of protection, coupled with the return of Australian forces from the Middle East and the United States' decision to defend Australia from invasion.
But the toll was considerable. More than 39,000 Australians died during World War II and more than 30,000 Australian servicemen were taken prisoner, two-thirds of them by the Japanese. One in three of those prisoners did not return. These bald statistics tell little of the thousands of Australian families for whom war was much more than a rhetorical abstraction. No conflict in which Australia has been involved since has so permeated Australian society and consciousness. No conflict has brought such suffering and anguish to so many. The war, of course, was far more than a great adventure. This was a struggle of ideology, pointedly against the evil of totalitarian regimes that had stripped their peoples of the democratic freedoms for which the Allies with the notable exception of the Soviet Union were fighting. The evil of those regimes is measured in their legacy and by the millions of dead and dispossessed they left behind.
The current threat of terrorism and the global "war on terrorism", so-called and declared by the United States, hardly bear comparison to the global conflict of 60 years ago. The attacks and loss of life are insignificant against the estimated 55 million lives lost between 1939 and 1945. There should be concern at the alacrity with which Australians and those in other democratic nations appear prepared to surrender democratic rights in the name of a putative "war". Governments claim these measures are needed to ensure the community's security, but give no guarantees that such rights, once ceded, will ever be restored. On the anniversary of VP Day, this should give Australians pause for reflection.

Global liquefied natural gas import volumes surged by over a quarter in the first half of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 due to lower prices, energy consulting firm EnergyQuest said.
Imports by EU countries rose by 68 per cent to 26.8 million tonnes for the six months to June while demand from the North Asian countries of Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan increased by 18 per cent to 60 million tonnes. US imports grew by just 3 per cent to 5.4 million tonnes.
The three regions comprise around 90 per cent of global LNG imports.
"The EU imported record volumes of LNG, with the biggest increase coming from the Middle Eastern state of Qatar," said EnergyQuest chief executive Dr Graeme Bethune.
Dr Bethune said LNG demand growth was particularly strong in the United Kingdom, where output from the ageing North Sea gas field dropped by 6.9 per cent.
"Most of the growth in UK imports was from Qatar, at a bargain average price of just $US4.16 per gigajoule," he said. "Lower prices also appear to have been an important driver of EU LNG imports."
Dr Bethune said the 18 per cent increase in imports from North Asia was sparked by higher gas demand, with Japan posting record LNG imports of 34.7 million tonnes for the period while China's LNG imports doubled.
