[AMERICANS ABROAD] It took Christen Press less than minute to score her first goal and she joined Brazilian great Marta with a hat trick to lead Swedish club Tyreso to an 8-1 win over Austria's SV Neulengbach in the first leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinals.
Fellow American Meghan Klingenberg set up Press for the opening goal with a long ball behind the Neulengbach defense, and the former
Stanford star, who will join the Chicago Red Stars after the Champions League campaign ends, added goals in the 64th and 80th minutes. Whitney Engen also
started for Tyreso, which has never won the European title.
In anticipation of the move of Press, Klingenberg and Engen to the NWSL, Tyreso signed four Brazilians in the offseason: Mayara, Rilany, Fabiana and Thaisa. Only
Rilany and Thaisa played against Neulengbach.

He was a member of the famed Miles Davis Quintet, a synth music trailblazer, an award-winning film composer, a genre-crossing collaborator, and even an interpreter of the music of Joni Mitchell. Now Herbie Hancock is returning to the coast for the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
"He's a musical hero, and someone who has always been ahead of the curve," says festival co-founder John Orysik. "The jazz writer Whitney Balliett described jazz as 'the sound of surprise' – and that's what you're going to get at a Herbie Hancock concert."
Also on the bill for this year's fest are heavy-hitters including Dr. John and the Nite Trippers, saxophonist David Murray's Infinity Quartet featuring Macy Gray, guitar guru John Scofield, Olympic chanteuse Nikki Yanofsky, and the first Vancouver appearance of fast-rising bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding, who beat out Justin Bieber, Drake and Mumford & Sons for the Best New Artist Grammy in 2011.
Among Mr. Orysik's other must-sees are saxophonist Colin Stetson, soulful singer Gregory Porter, Korean vocalist Youn Sun Nah, the Alan Jones Canadian All Star Sextet and the "bhangra, funk, dhol 'n' brass" of Red Baraat.
Now in its 28th year, the festival draws hundreds of artists from around the globe and more than half a million music fans who pack indoor and outdoor venues around the city – among them Robson Square, where jazz fans will converge this weekend for free live shows, an artisan market, a DJ dance party, interactive art installations and two licensed outdoor bistros.
"People always ask me, 'What is your favourite concert?' But it would be impossible to pick just one," says Mr. Orysik, who launched the fest with a few friends in 1985 and has since seen thousands of shows. "But Duke Ellington said it best when they asked him what his favourite composition was and he said, 'The next one.'"

Everyone has a relationship to home and what they mean in terms of belonging, family, comfort, nurture, tradition, familiarity and gathering. They are deeply ingrained in our memory. The conference theme of home brings together the real and the ordinary from which, through design, the imaginative and the extraordinary transpires and resonates. 2016 APSDA Adelaide aims to explore the theme of 'home.'
2016 APSDA Adelaide aims to build upon the significance of home and open up ideas of making, making do and making happen through a series of place-centred events including
hosted design dinners, design expos, cultural events and a program of tours and student activities that capitalise on Adelaide's scale, its neighbourhood, its design community and its regions. The speaker program will include world renowned and nationally prominent multi-disciplinary designers who have positioned their practises around the theme of home in inspired and poetic ways.
home is being part of a place, a geography, a region. It is being a part of the Asia Pacific and part of a design community. home can be reflected in the objects we surround ourselves with and the things we use. 'Home' is the spaces we create.
The 2016 APSDA conference home signifies the value that the host city, Adelaide invests in these themes and validates APSDA as more than an organisation, but a family, a close knit community of practising designers.
Adelaide welcomes you to the place we call home to share, celebrate and create new memories and design networks.
Designers and design students from across the Asia Pacific Region and the APSDA member nations.
A dedicated student program is specially designed to attract design students from the region to collaborate with their peers at the University of South Australia (UniSA) and the University of Adelaide.
The Asia Pacific Space Designers Alliance (APSDA) is a collaborative network of fourteen design associations from across the Asia Pacific region.
Every two years since APSDA was founded in 1998, APSDA representatives and delegates have met in a host city within the region for a 1-day General Assembly (GA) and 2-day Conference/Congress. 2016 is the first time APSDA will be held in Australia.

Research Topics
Research in our laboratory uses integrative interdisciplinary approaches (merging bioinformatics, functional genomics and molecular biology) to characterize gene regulatory networks and epigenomes that underline cell states during development, differentiation, and homeostasis. We are particularly interested in embryonic stem cells (ES cells), which are ideal model systems for unraveling complex gene networks controlling cell identities. ES cells can self-renew indefinitely and can differentiate into all derivatives of the three germ layers. These attributes making them an attractive model for regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and drug and toxicity testing. Successful development of ES cell-based therapies not only depends on our understanding of the genes and pathways that constitute the genetic network governing ES cell identity, but also the mechanisms that maintain the intricate homeostatic balance between self-renewal and differentiation.
Toward reconstruction of the genetic network controlling the ES cell identity, we have developed a computational framework that leverages relative gene expression across various cell types/states from independent perturbation experiments (genetic, exposure, differentiation, etc) to rank-order genes based on how likely they are to have a role in the maintenance of the ES cell identity. Using RNAi-mediated loss-of-function experiments, we have identified dozens of genes with previously unknown roles in ES cell biology. We have successfully characterized the mechanistic roles of some of the genes we have identified to have roles in ESC maintenance. Our ongoing efforts include elucidation of the roles and mechanisms by which other candidates maintain the pluripotent state.
Dr. Jothi received his Bachelors degree in 1998 from the University of Madras, and a Ph.D. in 2004 from the University of Texas at Dallas. Subsequently, he completed his postdoctoral training in Systems Biology at NCBI/NLM/NIH and in Epigenetics at NHLBI/NIH before joining NIEHS in 2009 to head the Systems Biology Section. Dr. Jothi received the NIEHS Early Career "Rising Star" Award in 2009. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and serves on the Editorial Boards for PLoS ONE and Frontiers in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology journals.

Election blurring of church, state separation draws complaints

Election blurring of church, state separation draws complaints
By Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO | Mon Nov 12, 2012 5:33pm EST
(Reuters) - Political watchdog and secularist groups are asking the U.S. government to investigate whether Catholic bishops and a Christian evangelical group headed by preacher Billy Graham should lose tax breaks for telling followers how to vote in this year's election.
Under constitutional protections of free speech and separation of church and state, churches are free to speak on any issue. But they risk losing tax breaks worth $145 billion in the past decade if they violate Internal Revenue Service rules by promoting or opposing any particular candidate. Other non-profits also have special tax status.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a political watchdog group, in its complaint to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, cited reports of individual bishops "abusing their positions to advocate against the election of President Barack Obama."
The group's executive director, Melanie Sloan, said some bishops went too far by saying a vote for Democrats would mean going to hell. "I don't think the Catholic bishops should be intimidating parishioners to advocate for any particular candidate," said Sloan.

2. Those churches that use their influence to support political candidates
ought to lose their tax exempt status.
Why should we subsidize their existence if they are going to work against our interests?
In the case of the Catholics, whose insistence that their freedom of religion is being infringed upon by state mandated insurance that covers birth control, it is clear that they are attempting to infuse their religion into government policy. That, coupled with their open advocacy of a non-Christian candidate promoting a non-Christian agenda reveal how little they focus on the work of the church and how much they want to play politics.
They should definitely lose the tax exempt status.

3. There doesn't appear to be a good solution to this problem because if the Church loses its exemption
because of a few bishops who DID go too far, the uproar among Catholics in general would almost certainly swing the Catholic vote well over to the Republican side, maybe permanently.
Would that be a good outcome?
Realizing that only a few bishops out of hundreds even came close to crossing the line into political speech?

9. That is not what I'm saying. But most Catholics would not want the Church to lose
the tax exemption, which allows them to deduct their contributions just as members of other Churches do -- simply because a handful of bishops (out of hundreds) may have crossed the line.

8. Well its not just a few Bishops
I am a very active practicing Catholic, and this problem is more wide spread then just a few Bishops.
On election day, ah hell in the weeks leading up to the election IMHO there was way to much political influence happening. I saw so many people wearing robme buttons on parishioners it wasn't even funny. I have no problem with regular parishioners doing this but many of them were ushers and EM's. Those people should have to remove that crap but they didn't. I'm 100% positive if I wore an Obama anything I'd have been told to remove it.
Ok the buttons were just one small thing.
In Florida we had all those amendments and there was one #8 that was labeled "Protect Religious Freedom Rights" or something to that effect. Anyway like most amendments in this election the name had nothing to do with the amendment. We already voted on Freedom of religion, plus not only is this right in the US Constitution but also the State Constitution. The amendment was about using tax dollars to fund religious schools.
Now our Church held a big meeting that they wanted everyone at where they talked about the right way Catholics should vote.
In the bulletins they had voter guides. These were very carefull not go over that thin line of endorsing stuff but just barley. See the thing is on the Sunday before the election people would put flyers on the cars with this voting guide only this one is no longer abiding by the flyers in the bulletin. These flyers blatantly said Good Catholics should vote this way.
To the Pastors credit he was out in the parking lot removing the flyers in between the masses. But the parishioners don't get it. One person was mad that the flyers were removed. She thought they should be left on all the cars.
There were signs for Amendment #8 on Church property. Now they might be able to do that because it was an amendment but I personally don't think it should be allowed.
I personally threw away stacks of robme/lying stickers, that were left on the tables next to the bulletins. Parishioners left them and would try to restock them. I trashed them.

13. "To the Pastors credit he was out in the parking lot removing the flyers in between the masses."
I don't think Pastors should be punished because of parishioners who wear buttons, or bishops in other dioceses who do cross the line. And I, in Seattle, don't want our Church to lose its exemption and be less able to do the good things it does because of something people in Florida might have done.

7. This is what I'd like to see an organization pick up the ball on and go after the churches
If each person filed a complaint against these churches the IRS and the FEC would be forced to investigate this. We basically let this be during the election cycle, but I think now is the time to act to preempt them from doing this in 2014.

12. All churches should lose their tax exemption.
They should form separate charity organizations that qualify for tax exemptions that help other people. The tithing should not be a deduction. There wouldn't be anything wrong with the parishioner reducing their tithing and giving what they don't give to the church charity group.
Money given to a church that pays for the salaries and benefits of the clergy and other staff not deductible.
Money given to a church that pays for the maintenance of a church not deductible.
Money given to a church charity that is used only to run the charity would be deductible.
The charity could not have have a clergy person administer or be on the board. They could not have their spouse or relative on the board.

Oil service stocks have long been considered underpriced by analysts - as a group they traded well below analysis price targets throughout 2012. Analysts are expecting about 25% upside in Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), 27% upside in Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), 20% in Baker Hughes (BHI), and over 35% in National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV). These stocks have largely been unchanged throughout the year, with the exception of Baker Hughes which is down over 15% year-to-date.
Most investors will not be looking closely at this industry as a healthy oil supply along with a weak economy have kept the price of oil at fairly low levels. Also while the price of natural gas has rebounded it still remains near historically low levels. Furthermore many people have low expectations for the economy in 2013. The CBO estimates if the fiscal cliff is avoided, that GDP will grow at just 1.7% for 2013. If the economy outperforms and there is any disruption in oil supply I think prices in 2013 could be higher than the market currently has priced in.
Halliburton appears to be the most undervalued of these stocks. It has the lowest PEG and forward P/E ratio and along with Baker Hughes it has the lowest EV/EBITDA ratio. While Halliburton is the most dependent on North America for its revenues this also gives them more opportunity to gain international market share. One possible area Halliburton could see gains is in China. In the 3rd quarter the company attributed a 3% increase in revenue from the Middle East/Asia region in part to integrated drilling and completion services for shale gas wells provided in both China and Australia.
Halliburton is focused on three segments of the oil services business: deepwater, unconventional and mature fields. Halliburton believes it has developed and is developing the best technologies to service these segments. The company highlights that it has doubled spending on technology in the past 5 years. These investments in technology will pay off for Halliburton as the industry increases spending on more highly technical oil fields.
Halliburton has been and arguably still is in a consolidation pattern. When looking at the yellow triangle it appears Halliburton may have broken out to the upside, however I believe the upper white line could be a continuation of this consolidation. Longer term the stock is still defined by a trading range it has been in going back about 16 months, with $40 per share providing strong resistance on the upside and strong support coming in around $27. However through this fall the range has narrowed with the stock moving between $30 and $38. With natural gas prices in an uptrend and the possibility of an improving global economy in 2013, Halliburton could be set to break out of this trading range and give investors a nice return in the new year.

Dreamy Spring Break: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by dalsti
Overall Member Rating
Dreamy Spring Break
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Saturday - Embarkation was a breeze. We drove to the port, and arrived at 10:30am. We dropped off our bags and parked. Filled out our health card and went thru security. We carried on 2 bottles of wine. If you have any liquid container that is opened they will make you discard it. If its sealed, no problem. We were walking on the ship by 11:30am. We immediately went to our room and dropped of our carry on. This is where you find out about the service we had on this cruise. I know we were going to our room before we were supposed to, and anyone we encountered could have told us to leave and come back at 1:30pm. Instead we passed by at least 10 stewards knee deep in work and all said hello and welcome aboard.
We had room 9472. This is an wrap balcony and we loved our room. Our cabin steward, Reddi, was great.
Dinner in the aft Scarlet dinning room was a little slow the first night, but our waiter Salvio was nice and did More a good job all cruise. FYI they did charge a corking fee for the wine.
Sunday - Nassau. Been there a bunch we didn't do much. Captains party and elegant night. Drinks $1 off at captains party. Dinner service was a little quicker this night, and we all enjoyed multiple lobster tails. Yes they are smaller that in the past, but who cares when you can order 2. We went to the Extreme Country show in the main theater. The show was good, but not great.
Saw the late night comedian. The comedy shows are definitely a hit and the comedy club is packed for almost each show. The 9:45 and 11:00 were the most crowded and the midnight was busy but not packed. The do 2 family and 2 adult shows each night and rotate between 2 comedians.
Monday - Sea Day. The chair hogs were out in full force. Not sure if it was because of the large number of kids on board but it was impossible to find a chair anywhere near the main lido pool after 9am. We did find a chair towards the rear of the ship on the side. Weather was great so no complaints.
Monday night saw comedian Happy Cole, and he was hilarious.
Tuesday - St. Thomas. We've been there before so we decided to take a cab and spend some time at saphire beach. The beach was nice, and again the weather was perfect. We then went to downtown shopping district and had lunch at Cuzzins. On our way back to ship we decided to take the sky ride to paradise point. It was nice up there and the bushwhackers were delicious.
Tuesday night we saw Dancing in the Streets in the main show lounge. This is one of the better shows we have seen anywhere, much less on a cruise ship. Do not miss it! They fly in entertainers each week into St. Thomas. They come on board to do the show, and then fly out of St. Martin the next day. For anyone who has seen the show, I'm referring to the 2 strong guys.
Get to the lounge at least 20 minutes early of you want a decent seat.
Wednesday - St. Martin. 7 ships in port, including the Oasis and congestion was the word of the day. We did Bernards tour, and while it was good, it seemed like we spent most of the day in traffic grid lock.
Tonight we went to the Chefs Art supper club. Well worth the $30.00, and dinner was amazing.
Thursday - Sea Day. We did the Behind the Fun Tour. This tour is excellent and worth the $$$. You get to see some amazing things and speak with all the heads of the different dept. We met the captain and the bridge and it was amazing. We took turns sitting at the helm and taking pictures with the captain.
Went to the marriage show in the afternoon, which is always funny.
Friday - Sea day. Again we had beautiful weather, and again it was hard to find a chair. We did find a small deck in between the big screen and miniature golf. This is a good place to catch some rays.
Farewell party from 5-6pm. Free Drinks. We sat at the bar in the burgundy lounge and ordered whatever we wanted. This is much better that getting the pre-made drinks the servers are bringing around.
Saturday - Disembarkation. Again it was easy getting off the ship. Wait for your zone. No need to get off early since your luggage is loaded on carousel by zone #. Not like in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami where its all laid out and you just grab it.
Random thought.... We liked the Dream. The smell is still there. It was most noticeable at the main lido by the elevators under the big screen. It was also the worst towards the end of the cruise. The ship seemed to move more than any other ship we have been on, and we had good weather. The lido is very crowded Try the Ocean Plaza for lunch. Salad Bar, Hot dog, burgers, quesadillas, and turkey wraps, and no crowds. Probably wont sail Spring Break again, unless parents learn to control their kids. Why 10-12 year old kids are allowed to run around the ship at 2am is amazing to me. Heard lots of noise form kids running down halls and slamming doors. We did smuggle some drinks on board. No problems, and all our luggage was locked. We will probably try a smaller ship next, maybe the Miracle. Bigger isn't always better. Overall cruise was good. We sailed with first timers, and they thought the ship was great. Less

In this hefty follow-up to his 1993 debut (Home Cooking with a French Accent), Richard imparts culinary wisdom of the highest order in cheerful nursery tones. Humpty Dumpty, Captain Crunch and a vegetable called Mr. Beet are a few of the merry characters who populate his kitchen. Goofiness apart, the book is filled with clever, innovative techniques and little-known time-savers (microwave béchamel, anybody? food processor sorbet?). Most of the recipes hinge on Richard's unconventional methods, and their successful execution does require a certain level of skill. Attention-grabbers like Asparagus Salmon (in which asparagus spears are slipped inside the pocket of a salmon fillet which is then sliced like a terrine), and Red Snapper in a Spinach Coating are elegant enough to serve to a Michelin inspector, yet are corralled and fenced within the range of ability of a competent home cook. Other dishes are more demanding—the superlative Lamb Loin with White Bean Sauce, for example. In any case, professional cooks and serious amateurs will find this volume an essential resource. (Oct. 31)
Celebrity chefs
A chef's chef, reigning restaurateur of our nation's capital, an inspired and inspiring innovator, Michel Richard is one of the few celebrity chefs I can think of who hasn't written a cookbook. Happy in the Kitchen: The Craft of Cooking, the Art of Eating (Artisan, $45, 352 pages, ISBN 1579652999) happily rectifies that sad state and introduces avid cooks to the joys of taste and technique the Richard way. It's gorgeous, with 225 color photos, including dozens that show step-by-step prep, and its good looks are matched by 150 extraordinary recipes. With unrivaled culinary curiosity, Richard rejoices in the surprising (potato risotto, Chocolate Popcorn), in new combinations (Black Olive-Crusted Salmon), in spinning classics (Green Bouillabaisse with Aïoli) and in letting his imagination soar. This is a must-have cookbook for the foodies in your life and, even better, the foodie within.

Islamabad, Pakistan (UPI) Oct 14, 2010
Deforestation and global climate change are partly to blame for Pakistan's massive floods, experts say.
Researchers have found that the pattern of Pakistan's monsoon rains have shifted 40-60 miles northwest in the past 30 years, said Azmat Hayat Khan, a scientist at the Pakistan Meteorological Department, The Scotsman newspaper reports.
Khan says there is "strong evidence" the shift was caused by global warming.
"The negative impact of this shift is that the floods have moved from eastern rivers -- where there are four major rivers capable of absorbing these levels of rain -- to western rivers, where there are fewer and they are less able to cope with this water," he said.
As for deforestation in Pakistan, at the current 2 percent to 2.4 percent rate, the country's forest cover would be reduced to half of its 1995 extent by 2019-24, says Pakistan's Food and Agriculture Organization.
"Deforestation played a tremendous role in aggravating the floods," said Ghulam Akbar, director of the Pakistan Wetlands Program, an environment protection group funded by the United Nations and other international organizations, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"Had there been good forests, as we used to have 25 years back, the impact of flooding would have been much less."
For example, loggers had for decades illegally felled and shipped timber from the lush Swat valley, a region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province, thanks to local officials who offered their silence for a price.
Later, logging also was regarded as a revenue source for the Pakistani Taliban, which gained strength in Swat in 2003. Up to 15 percent of Swat's forest cover disappeared while it was under Taliban control until 2009, the Times said.
Residents in Chail, in the Punjab province, told the Times that there wasn't any woodland left to hold back the force of the massive torrents of rain that fell in July.
"There wouldn't be this amount of destruction if the trees were still here," said a 70-year-old man who lost his home, a guesthouse and everything he owned. "It's OK if you need wood and you cut what you need. But deforestation like this is inexcusable."
The floods, which covered one-fifth of the country, caused an estimated $9.7 billion in damage, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank said Thursday.
Nearly 2 million homes were damaged or destroyed by the disaster, which has affected up to 20 million people.

The North Idaho College Athletics Department announced
Thursday that Coeur d'Alene native Russell Grove is the new head coach of the
men's and women's golf teams. Grove replaces former head coach Derrick
Thompson, who assumed the same position at Iowa Western College after leading
both NIC teams to the National Junior College Athletic Association national golf
Grove attended Coeur d'Alene High School, where he was the
valedictorian and helped the Vikings win the 5A State Golf Championship in
2004. He received a golf scholarship to the University of Idaho where he served
as the team captain and led the Vandals to their best finish in the history of
the Western Athletic Conference. Grove was a three-time recipient of the WAC
Scholar Athlete Award, and three-time selection on the WAC Academic
All-Conference team. At the University of Idaho, Gross set the 36-hole and
54-hole record with scores of 131 and 203 respectively. In addition, he set the
UI course record with a score of 62, and currently holds the second lowest
career scoring average in school history at 74.2.
"Russell is an exceptional golf talent, and is highly
respected as a professional golfer and instructor" said Al Williams, NIC
athletic director. "Russell has tremendous connections in the PGA and with NCAA
Division I golf coaches, so he can assist in moving our student-athletes to the
next level, on and off the course. We have a talented group of returners and
recruits, so the foundation appears to be set for Russell to lead our programs
to continued success."
Grove is currently the assistant golf professional at
Avondale Golf Club in Hayden. Avondale will remain the home course for the NIC
program. Grove was also a teaching instructor at Bunker Indoor Golf and
Training in Goodyear, Ariz. Grove will retain assistant coaches Dan Porter --
the Avondale Golf professional -- and Taylor Porter, on his staff. Both the men
and women golf teams will compete in the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) beginning
this fall. Grove will assume coaching responsibilities immediately and will
initiate tryouts for the golf team as soon as possible.

"Democracy Now!" reported Thursday on two separate stories that show being a Western democracy hardly makes you immune to serious allegations of war crimes. In one, the radio/TV show reports the conclusion by South Korea's Truth and Reconciliation Commission that the U.S. military indiscriminately killed large groups of South Korean civilians during the Korean War. The other reviews the detailed new report by the Rwandan government that says the French military trained the murderous Interahamwe militia, key to the country's 1994 genocide. [Transcripts & A/V]
Also covered in the South Korea report are fascinating new details about the massacre of leftists by the U.S.-backed Syngman Rhee dictatorship in 1950.
Democracy Now!:
ANJALI KAMAT: Can you talk about the mass execution of political prisoners and leftists in 1950 and the US role in that? How did that come up at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission?
CHARLES HANLEY: This is a remarkable chapter of twentieth century history that has been hidden largely for decades. Of course, it was whispered about. South Koreans—older South Koreans know about these things, including even No Gun Ri, but they dared not talk about them publicly during the dictatorships of Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee and others until the 1980s, 1990s. And now, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission finally has sort of a government imprimatur that it can apply to these investigations and stories, and people can finally face up to what happened.
And what happened was that, in a matter of a few weeks in mid-1950, as the North Koreans pushed down the peninsula, Syngman Rhee's right-wing government rounded up tens of thousands of suspected leftists, including tens of thousands of political prisoners being held already, and simply took them out into the countryside and shot them in the head and dumped them into mass graves. The commission believes that a very conservative estimate of the number killed is 100,000. They think it may have been more like 200,000 or even 300,000 people killed, and they are now—for the second summer season, they are excavating mass graves at several sites around South Korea.

The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Express are squaring up for a fight over the future of Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The Express gleefully splashes with a poll of its own readers that finds 90% of people are opposed to a "Queen Camilla".
It says that she and her husband Prince Charles "have still failed to win over millions of people who have concerns about swearing allegiance to the two divorcees whose adultery ruined the life of Princess Diana". It continues to peddle conspiracy theories. This time a "secret plan" to make Camilla the Queen.
It is no conspiracy, says an editorial in the Telegraph. "The Prince of Wales is heir apparent, and will in the natural course of things become King. The wife of the King is the Queen. To pretend that things should be otherwise is an offence against constitutional
logic." To underline its sympathies, the Telegraph carries a sympathetic picture of the royal couple at the Chelsea flower show.

Harry Shearer and Judith Owen Talk New Orleans, the Knights of Soft Rock and the Grateful Dead
Judith, you recently recorded an album with some great session musicians (drummer Russ Kunkel, bassist Lee Sklar, and guitarist Waddy Wachtel), who played with Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. How'd you end up working with them?
Judith: It was just that I'd had an epiphany. I'd had a really bad year, and my father had passed away, and it was a really tough time and I just thought, it's not a rehearsal, "What do I really want to do to bring myself out of this really tough time?" And I thought, I want to work with the people who I, as a kid, admired hugely and the music that I've grown up doing and was hugely influenced by. So I just went to the source and went to these guys first hand. Thanks to Harry, we already knew Lee Sklar, who is just the most incredible bass player and it started that way. He became a fan and we became friends and the other two, thanks goodness, said yes. And then we went in to the studio and literally cut an entire record in, I think, four days. It's all live and it's all around the piano and we're sitting in a room together. It's old style, I mean it really is the way that it used to be in life. And I've made it a real kind of homage and love letter to these guys, and to that time, that time that I loved so much and was so influenced by. So, everything about the record I think is very much that feel, even down to the artwork, which is my own paintings and illustrations and the way the photographs are. Everything about it to me is like an old style concept record. I can't wait for it to be on vinyl, which it will be. That will make me so excited. But it's been a true honor to, really a privilege to work with people, with guys like that, who literally sat down and watched me play a song. It was the most beautiful thing. It was a hand and glove experience and you're talking about the guys who cut their teeth on this music, on that style of music. So, it was the most enjoyable studio experience I think I've ever had and next year we'll be on tour together. We're doing invitation only dates, in America, in Britain, in Ireland and then I'll be on the road. And I'm really, really thrilled to have this opportunity. It's kind of a dream come true.
If you wouldn't mind, can we talk about your Grateful Dead connection? We are Relix.
Harry: (Laughs) We. Are. Relix.
I heard recently that, when The Grateful Dead were busted in 1967, at their house in the Haight, that you had something to do with writing a statement for them.
Harry: Well I spent a lot of time in that particular residence because I was working in California, ironically at the California State Legislature in Sacramento, and one of my best friends at the time was the co-manager of The Dead [Danny Rifkin]. So on the weekends and time off I'd come down to hang at that house and got to know the guys in the band and everybody around that scene. My absolutely most vivid memory of it was Neal Cassady, who was a character in On the Road, the great Jack Kerouac beat novel, was hanging around The Dead at that point. I was one of the few people with a short, as automobiles were referred to in that scene, and Danny said, "Can you give Neal Cassady a ride, he has a doctor's appointment?" Nobody else had a car and being a southern California man I always had a car, so I said sure. We'd never met though I'd seen Neal around and I knew his reputation, so he gets in my car and we now spend the next 45 minutes going from Haight-Ashbury to I think, the Castro District in San Francisco. It was a combination of him giving me very precise and very timely directions as to how to get to where we're going and lapsing into the play-by-play of a 1945 Chicago Cubs baseball game. Just one toggle switch going up and down, up is directions, down is the Chicago Cubs game. I didn't say a word, I mean, this guy was just like, turn left at Castro and then I forget even the names of the players but he goes into this most detailed play by play of a Chicago Cubs game. I have no idea what he was on, whatever it was, he was enjoying himself. Yeah, I was around and they knew I was a writer, and Danny knew me because I was the editor of the college newspaper when he was a reporter. So yes, they recruited me into the task of helping to write the statement that they made when the Dead were busted. I plead guilty to that.
Do you have any other Dead related anecdotes?
Harry: Oh, God. I guess the most memorable thing to me is that that was the time Owsley Stanley, the manufacturer of purple acid, was actually mixing the Dead shows. He was their sound mixer. So you have never heard rivers of reverb like what was slathered on Dead shows when he was mixing them. Somewhere back in there was the band and then there was [makes reverby noises]. So that's my main memory.

Leominster Ladies are still in with a chance of clinching the West Clubs' Women's League North Division championship after a 2-2 draw with top club Gloucester 2nd.
The north Herefordshire club trail the leaders by three points but, while Gloucester have completed their programme, Leominster still have one match to play.
Leominster had to battle back for a draw against the league leaders after falling two goals adrift.
To make matters worse, Karen Hackley was hit in the face by the ball in the first few minutes and got a black eye.
Leominster's fight-back began when Michelle Ruff scored from a short-corner move instigated by Holder and Liz Ranft.
And it was Ranft who scored the equaliser when her deflected shot found the net after another Holder short-corner.
In Premier 2, Hereford finished the season in eighth place after a 2-1 win at basement-club Cheltenham 2nd in the final round of matches.

Microbicides Against HIV
April 22, 2015
Table of Contents
What Are Microbicides?
Microbicides are products being developed to reduce the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Microbicides could come in many forms, including gels, creams, suppositories, films, lubricants, sponges, or vaginal rings. They could be used in the vagina or rectum.
How Would Microbicides Work?
Microbicides could work in different ways:
Are Microbicides Currently Available?
No. Scientists are testing many products to see whether they help protect against infection with HIV and/or other STDs. Some of these products have proven safe enough in lab studies that they are now being tested in people. However, no safe and effective microbicide is currently available to the public.
What Is Happening in Microbicide Research?
Microbicides have been in development for over 15 years. A number of studies conducted on the early products failed to find an effective microbicide.
However, there is hope that a new group of microbicides that contain HIV drugs will be more effective. Unlike earlier products, these newer microbicides do not have to be applied at the time of sex. They may be used daily as a gel or possibly as a vaginal ring that may only need to be inserted once a month.
Vaginal and Rectal Gels
Promising results were reported a few years ago from a study of HIV-negative women in South Africa. It showed that when women used a one percent gel version of the HIV drug Viread (tenofovir) inside the vagina, two out of every five HIV infections were prevented. These study results provide early proof that HIV drug-based microbicides, in particular tenofovir gel, can help protect women against HIV.
Unfortunately, a similar study of tenofovir one percent vaginal gel among over 5000 HIV-negative women in Uganda, South Africa, and Zimbabwe was not successful. This study, called the VOICE study (MTN 003), was stopped in the fall of 2011 because it did not work to prevent HIV infections. The gel did not work largely because women did not use it as directed. However, the tenofovir gel appeared to be safe, without major side effects. While it is encouraging that tenofovir-containing gels appear effective when used as directed, researchers will be shifting their focus to understanding why so few women choose to use these gels so that more acceptable and effective prevention methods can be identified.
Researchers are also testing a version of tenofovir gel designed for rectal use. This study (MTN 017) is exploring the safety and acceptance of the rectal gel in transgender women and men who have sex with men in Peru, South Africa, Thailand, and the US. Results are expected in early 2016.
Vaginal Rings
There is also hope that vaginal rings containing HIV drugs can prevent the spread of HIV. The ring is flexible and will be placed deep inside the vagina against the cervix (entrance to the womb), where it stays for several weeks. The benefit of using a vaginal ring compared to a vaginal gel is that women would not have to insert the microbicide ring as often as the gel.
Two studies, the ASPIRE study (MTN 020) and the Ring Study (IPM 027), have been looking at the effectiveness of a vaginal ring containing an HIV drug called dapivirine (a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor) to prevent the spread of HIV. The Ring Study is looking at the effect of the ring in almost 2000 women from South Africa and Uganda.
The ASPIRE study looked at the dapivirine ring's effects in over 3000 women from Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. It also tested a vaginal ring containing a combination of two HIV drugs -- dapivirine and Selzentry (maraviroc) -- and a ring containing only Selzentry. While all the rings were safe and well-tolerated by study participants, only the dapivirine appeared to prevent HIV infection in cervical cells.
Vaginal Films
Scientists in the FAME-02 study found that a vaginal film containing dapivirine delivered enough drug to vaginal tissue to prevent HIV infection when tested in the laboratory.
Multipurpose Prevention Technologies
Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (MPTs) provide ways of preventing more than one thing in one device. For example, MPTs may prevent pregnancy and HIV, or they may prevent HIV and several other STDs. Having methods that combine prevention of pregnancy and STDs (including HIV) would be more convenient and likely lead to more consistent and therefore more effective use.
Researchers are studying several methods for combining prevention technologies, including a vaginal ring containing both a hormonal contraceptive (to prevent pregnancy) and an HIV drug (to prevent HIV; a form of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, or PrEP). It can be inserted well before sex, stay there for up to three months, and is not usually felt by either partner. Early studies have shown that the ring appears to be effective in preventing monkeys from getting HIV and from getting pregnant. The next step is for the ring to be tested in women in clinical research trials.

For more information on the increasingly dynamic field of rectal microbicide research and developmet, visit IRMA - International Rectal Microbicide Advocates - at www.rectalmicrobicides.org. All receptive partners - female AND male - need an option like a safe and effective microbicide. Because anal intercourse is a common human behavior, both men AND women as well as transgender individuals will need rectal microbicides. While this field has long had a laser-like focus on women and vaginal microbicides, it is much more expansive now.

Thread: Poll - how long was your labour?

Poll - how long was your labour?
How long were you in active labour for in your last pregnancy?
I think this is something I would have found useful to know in my first pregnancy. I wasn't prepared for the length of this labour so this meant I tried to stay awake and 'get things going' early on in my labour when really I should have been resting and sleeping in between contractions to allow my body to have more energy for the more intense contractions.
As a note, I don't believe a long labour means a 'bad labour' or a negative labour. In fact, some women who have very quick labours find it difficult because things get intense so quickly. With a longer labour you have time to allow your body and, importantly, your mind to get into the swing of things.
Please vote in my poll and tell me how long your last labour was.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello and Welcome! I'm Billy and i will assist you with your inquiry. Feel free to ask if any further info is needed.
Since the wheel bearing was replaced, the thing that would affect all these warning lights and is related would be the ABS wheel speed sensor.
The sensor can be viewed easily once the wheel is removed, and so the toothed ring on which the sensor reads.
You will need to chech first the sensor itself, see if it is fitted correctly (or loose etc...), and then check the wiring, if disconnected or even loose.
Then you will need to check if the toothed ring is in place (this also needs to be clean). Having made sure that these are installed correctly, and if the problem persists, then you need to reset the fault using a subaru scan tool.
Again, many other errors would cause these symptoms (warning lights and cruise and ABS not functionning), but having this just after the bearing replacement, the sensor and toothed ring (being not properly installed) would be the most likely reason.
Thank you for your trust! Get back to me if you need more info..if not, Thank you in advance for the positive rating...http://www.justanswer.com/car/expert-billy/And do not forget to check out the other categories (health, law, taxes, vet, etc...)

Corinne, if you re-read Carolyn's original message you will note that her grandparents but not her parents were born in Cornwall. She would only be a British Citizen by descent if her parents 'activated' their citizenship via obtaining a passport - otherwise the citizenship is considered to have 'lapsed' and is lost.
Unfortunately as a US Citizen Carolyn is also ineligible for a UK Ancestry Visa because of the Commonwealth citizenship provision. However, I would strongly advise Carolyn to investigate her British citizenship eligibility with her local consulate, who are far more informed than I on such matters.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for taking the time to clear this up.
I thought that Carolyn would qualify for a British passport as her parents
were British (not under the grandfather rule) . I didn't know that it only
applied to those from Commonwealth countries. Children born to British
Citizens used to be considered "British Citizens", no matter where in the
world they were born.
I am not confusing British Citizenship with that of Ireland ...... my
children's father was an Englishman (who had no connections with Ireland)
and, although born in Australia, my children have British Citizenship. And
they have British passports which they obtained before they left Australia.
Can't remember which year each of them applied for their passports, but it
must have been prior to the rules changing.
When I was young, all Australians were considered British Subjects, but that
rule also changed over the years (certainly before 1981) ...... I think
that England got too many people wanting to settle in England as the Empire
started to break up and had to "close the door" so as to speak.
I can remember some fuss years ago when Australia stopped allowing any
British Subject the automatic right to live and work in Australia.
Kindest Regards ...... Corinne in Melbourne, Australia.
Under the British Nationality Act 1981 the grandchild of a British Citizen
is only entitled to a UK Ancestry Visa, giving them a work permit in the UK
for four years but not British Citizenship. However, at the end of that
period they may apply for Definite Leave to Remain, thence British
Citizenship and thus a British passport. However Carolyn would be ineligible
for a UK Ancestry visa because she is not a Commonwealth citizen,
British Citizenship enables you to live and work freely in any EEA member
state, viz.
Austria, Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden.
>From 2004 you can also add Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary,
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania and Slovenia to that
On the grandparent rule Corinne is confusing British citizenship provision
with that of Ireland. Grandparents of persons born in Ireland may apply to
become Irish citizens. The only way grandchildren of British citizens can
obtain a British passport is by the UK Ancestry visa process detailed above.

By Nathan Bomey and Todd Spangler, USA TODAY and the Detroit Free Press
Here are two people you won't find touring a General Motors plant during the political season this fall: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
GM, saved by federal loans a few years ago, desperately wants to avoid becoming the centerpiece of campaign rhetoric. So it has banned candidates from its plants at least until after Election Day, Nov. 6, despite the fact that the U.S. Treasury remains its largest shareholder.
The Detroit car giant wants to be viewed as a success story -- not the arm of any campaign. After all, Democrats, Republicans and independents all buy vehicles.
"We would like to put all of our energy behind selling our cars and trucks," said Bob Ferguson, GM's vice president for global public policy. "It's an understatement to say we can't wait for November to get here."
GM and experts say the company has been intentionally less visible in lobbying on some federal issues and is, in effect, taking cover until the election is over.
But the company is stuck uncomfortably in a spotlight after emerging from its 2009 federally financed bankruptcy. The Treasury Department, which provided $49.5 billion to bail out GM, still owns 32% of the new GM's common stock, despite getting repaid more than $23 billion so far.
Obama takes credit for GM's survival, saying in February that the auto industry had added 200,000 jobs since 2009. But Romney tries to use the bailout against the president as a poor and expensive deal for taxpayers. The candidates are expected to continue bashing each other with the auto industry bailout and the ins and outs of GM's near-death and revival.
In Detroit on Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden sounded a now-familiar campaign refrain that makes GM executives cringe:
"Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive."
GM is branded "Government Motors" by Obama's critics but hailed by his supporters as a testament to his leadership in saving GM and Chrysler. The efforts began in the administration of President George W. Bush -- which GM CEO Dan Akerson is quick to point out.
The president's campaign is expected to make the auto bailout a key element of the Democratic National Convention during the first week of September in Charlotte.
Chrysler paid back all of its bankruptcy loans from the Treasury and has largely avoided becoming part of the political campaign debate, though the now-Italian-owned company did say on Thursday that it also has banned campaign visits to its facilities.
The Romney campaign has tried to turn the bailout to its advantage, accusing the president of bungling it by preserving UAW benefits at the expense of bondholders who lost billions.
His campaign also has noted the bailout wasn't good for everyone, running an ad in swing state Ohio noting that many dealers were hurt in the process by having their dealerships shut down or downsized.
But Romney has a potential bailout problem, too, ever since he penned a November 2008 op-ed piece for The New York Times that ran under the headline, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." Even so, some have argued that Romney did push for a similar structured bankruptcy as was implemented by the Obama administration for GM and Chrysler and that he should share any credit.
Romney, a Michigan native and former Massachusetts governor, is slated to accept the Republican nomination for president this week at the GOP convention in Tampa.

MLB notebook: Cards' closer likely to go on DL
Cardinals closer Jason Motte probably will start the season on the disabled because of a mild muscle flexor strain in his pitching arm.
Motte pitched an inning against the Mets on Thursday in Port St. Lucie, Fla., then told the team his forearm tightened up on the bus ride back to the Cardinals' spring training complex.
Setup man Mitchell Boggs will move into the closer's role.
No timetable for Santana
Johan Santana knows he won't be pitching when the Mets start their season April 1. He doesn't know when he'll take the mound again.
The 34-year-old left-hander was scheduled to throw on flat ground from 90 feet Saturday, up from 60 feet a week ago. He'll need to get up to about 180 feet before the Mets allow his first bullpen session since March 3.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner will miss the entire exhibition season because of a lack of arm strength and will start the season on the disabled list.
Cook set to step in for Halladay
Aaron Cook is ready, just in case Roy Halladay isn't.
Halladay, whose start against Baltimore last weekend was cut short after one inning because of a stomach virus, pitched in a minor league game in Clearwater on Saturday. Cook pitched against the Orioles and helped the Phillies to a 13-4 win.
Halladay retired just seven of 18 batters Saturday, allowing three runs, seven hits and two walks in four innings with one strikeout.
Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro declined to say much about Halladay, saying he'd talk about him on Sunday.
Teheran impressive for Braves
This is how Julio Teheran won a spot in the Atlanta Braves' rotation.
The rookie right-hander struck out 10 in six hitless innings for a split-squad of Braves that beat the Astros, 3-2, on Saturday.
Teheran, Atlanta's fifth starter, walked three while lowering his ERA to 1.04 in six starts. Teheran also pitched five hitless innings against St. Louis on March 12. He has allowed just seven hits over 26 innings this spring while striking out 35 and walking nine.
Jeter hits in minor league game
Derek Jeter took four at-bats as a designated hitter for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate in Tampa. He grounded out all four times, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he has heard encouraging reports.
