Uncertainty leads Nawal Al Zoughbi to postpone album once more
Lebanese singer Nawal Al Zoughbi has set the final date for the release of her upcoming album to be mid-January 2004, after she had postponed it several times. The singer revealed that after she thought she had completed the selection of songs for the album, suddenly decided to delete three songs from it.
According to the London based Elaph, Nawal had listened to three different songs that were not in her album and thought they are more suitable, and so replaced them with three existing ones. Nawal also announced that she will film one of the three new songs in the form of a music video to be released at the same time the album is.
Nawal Al Zoughbi had headed off to the United States of America where she is scheduled to hold a number of live concerts in different cities that have heavily populated Arab communities. Nawal revealed that she will be spending over a month in the US and will be hosting a live concert on New Year's Eve in New York City. Nawal revealed that she had reached an agreement with her husband to leave their children with her mother until she returns home.
Nawal has recently completed shooting her latest music video for the song "Rage'li Leh" (You're Coming Back Why), a new song from her upcoming album. The clip is directed by the famous Lebanese director Nadine Labki, who also directed the hit songs "Akhasmak Aah" (I'll Upset You), "Ya Salam" (Oh My) and, "Siher Oyounoh" (The Magic of his Eyes) for Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram.
The new video clip was shot in Al Ashrafieh one of Beirut suburbs under the supervision of technical director Yahia Sa'adeh. The clip introduces Nawal in a new look with the help of makeup specialist Elly Fagali and hairstylist Toni Mindaliq. Nawal has been absent from the scenes for some time, since she released her latest album "Illy ITemanaytoh" (The One I Wished For).
Rumors had it that her absence was due to the fact that she had gotten a divorce, which she strongly denied ever occurring. Observers wonder if Nawal's new album would be a hit after several new singers have appeared in the scenes, as Nancy Ajram, Amal Hijazi, Allissa, and Haifa Wahbi.
The singer denied circulating rumors that she underwent a new plastic surgery for her new look that will accompany the release of her upcoming album. The singer stressed that her new look will only depend on a new hairstyle with a different color and different shades of makeup.
The singer stressed that she does not need to have any plastic surgeries done for a new look can be acquired with the help of a beauty specialist. Nawal revealed that she has just completed the last recordings for her new album which will hold the title of "Insa Ili Faat" (Forget the Past). –Albawaba.com

Martin Fennelly Columns
'Hamster' just might be next big thing
TAMPA - He says a friend, a Boise State offensive lineman, who saw the small, muscle-bound dynamo and crowned him with a nickname that even he can't run away from, one that might soon be the rage in Tampa Bay. Bucs, meet your new all-purpose, three-down, turbo-charged running back. The Muscle Hamster . Stop right there."It took off a little bit," Doug Martin said, somewhat resigned. "And … it … hasn't … ended yet." Ended? If the Bucs' second first-round draft pick can get used to not playing on a blue field and hit it big, fans will be throwing rubber hamsters on the turf at Raymond James Stadium for years. Yes, if Doug Martin, 5-foot-9, 219 pounds, does all the things LeGarrette Blount can't, you can just picture the scene at any number of pet shops in Tampa Bay. "Lady, we're back-ordered six months on hamsters. You think yours is the only kid who wants one? Look, one-time special, half price: You wanna see something in a gerbil?" The Bucs might have made a killing by grabbing Martin late in the first round. They didn't sell the farm for Trent Richardson. They took Richardson's teammate, Alabama safety Mark Barron, then jumped up and out of the second round and took Martin. It might have made their draft. Martin apparently can run by or over people. He can catch. He can block. Goodness, we passed Blount about two sentences ago. Martin was a team captain in college, just like Barron. Like Barron, Martin maxes out on character. "I just love this kid," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. Maybe Schiano has his Ray Rice. "If you talk to scouts around the National Football League, if you talk to the coaches at Boise State and you talk to his teammates, you'll understand why no one is really surprised that he's a first round running back in the National Football League," Bucs general manager Mark Dominik said. I talked to a teammate. Antwan Murray played with Doug Martin at Boise State. Murray, who grew up in Lakeland and majored in communications at Boise State, was driving back to Lakeland after watching the draft at Bucs headquarters. He left too early. His favorite pro football team picked his friend. Murray got the news in his car. "I got as excited as I could without wrecking," he said. Everybody hamster up. "The Bucs are getting a guy who can do anything and will do anything you ask," Murray said. "He's a tremendous person, a humble young man. "Pound for pound, Doug was probably the strongest guy on the team. He just outworked everybody. Doug was a leader. He'd always help the young guys in workouts, c'mon, keep going, you can do it." Martin, who grew up in Stockton, Calif., didn't play football until high school, his mom's orders. "She was afraid I'd get hurt," Martin said. He briefly switched to defense and nickel back his sophomore season. He did it all. He rushed for more than 1,250 yards in his junior and senior seasons, but still played special teams with Murray and the other Broncos. He has a gunner's mentality. "That's the kind of guy he is," Schiano said. And there's this: "He'll always be upbeat and vibrant," Murray said. "I've never seen Doug when he didn't have a smile on his face." "That's just who I am," Martin said. "Doug will definitely be a household name," Murray said. "He's going to be a great face for the community." He laughed. "But I'll let Doug tell you about his nickname. I'm not going to burn him." Burn him? If this kid takes off, really takes off, the hamster market will go through the roof, or at least chew through the electrical wiring.

Not too long ago the group decided to not appear together in combinations of three members-since that would make it look, like one of the former ABBA members was purposely avoiding a reunion. A benefit of this policy is that in the past two years we have had some unusual pairings of ABBA members.
January 22, 2009 Stockholm
Frida and Agnetha get an Lifetime Achievement Award at the Rockbjornen Gala, Stockholm. This appearance featured just Frida and Agnetha. This was first time since the ABBA days that Agnetha and Frida made an appearance together in public without one or both of the ABBA boys.
March 15, 2010 New York City
Benny and Frida appeared together to be inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame. Bjorn was said to be detained by a family get together, and Agnetha could not make because she does not fly.

Puttur: Thieves broke into the house of Dr Subrahmanya Bhat in Mukrumpady on the outskirts last week and took away Rs 5 lakh worth of gold and silver jewellery and Rs 5,000 in cash.
He and his family had gone to Kerala on April 16 after locking the house. The theft was noticed when they returned on Apr 24. The thieves gained access by breaking the front door open.
Two other houses nearby too were targeted by them. While they went back empty-handed from one of them, they could not make any headway in opening the door of the other.
In all theft cases that have taken place in town, almost all were executed during the owners' absence. This gives room to a suspicion that a gang has been operating here, which keeps going around during daytime to check how many houses have remained locked for longer periods.
The police have cautioned the public against keeping heavy stock of jewellery at home while leaving town and and have advised the instead to deposit them in bank lockers in their own interest.
The house of Lakshmish Nayak in 34 Nekkilady village was broken into by thieves around the weekend. Nayak had gone with his family to attend a marriage in the close circle.
The theft was noticed when they returned home on Sunday night. One of the windows was found broken open. Gaining access from it, they appeared to have got into the house. Forcing the cupboards and suitcases open, they rummaged the contents and picked up many valuables like gold and cash.
The exact value of the stolen items was yet to be ascertained until late in the night.

SYDNEY An Emirates flight from Sydney to Dubai made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff because of an engine fault, the airline said Monday.
Passengers reported hearing a loud bang and seeing flames coming from the engine of the Airbus A380 after it took off from Sydney on Sunday night. The plane landed without incident and passengers were rebooked on other flights. There were no injuries.
John Fothergill of Auckland, New Zealand, told Australia's News Limited that he saw flames shooting out of the engine and felt the plane shake.
"I thought it could have been lightning but then we saw flames come out of the engine," he said. "The whole interior of the A380 lit up."
Passenger Ross Clarke told Australia's Seven Network that he heard a loud bang.
"We were told by the pilot that something had gone wrong on the starboard engine, number three engine," he said.
An Emirates spokeswoman, speaking on the airline's customary condition of anonymity, denied there were flames in the engine.
"There was no fire, no flames, no smoke," she said. "There may have been a loud bang."
Investigators were looking into the cause of the engine fault, she said.
It is not the first time the new flagship of the Airbus fleet has been hit by in-flight problems.
Europe's air safety authority ordered checks in February on the entire global fleet of Airbus A380 superjumbo jets for cracks on parts inside the wings -- extending a previous order for nearly a third of the planes to be inspected.
Before that, a Rolls-Royce engine on a Qantas A380 burst into flames during flight in November 2010, prompting the engine maker to a series of checks on the Trent 900 engines involved.
The Emirates A380 which turned around on Monday uses different engines, made by a Rolls-Royce's competitor, a joint venture by General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.

* Prices may differ from that shown
Soon after moving in to our rented home, we decided it would be a good idea to cover the bland carpets with laminate flooring. This decision was down to easier cleaning and a fresher look. This works well, and I find it easier to keep the floors throughout the home clean. This is good, as it allows the home to look and appear clean and tidy.
Having a child, however, means a lot of time on the floor, which can become cold. This is still the case even with heaters and natural sunlight. I can find the floors to be rather cold, which isn't great for rolling about on the floor. While wandering about Ikea I happened to notice a few different play mats and rugs that are designed for children. The Lekplats play mat appealed, as it was only £13, so affordable and fun for a child's room or play area.
The rug is tightly rolled on a card tube and comes in a clear plastic covering. I carried this home from Ikea which is about a 20 minute walk from my home. I found it easy to carry home, and unrolling it, it soon goes flat and is ready to use immediately. The length may be a little tricky to get into a car; however, it can be bent without causing damage to fit into a car.
The design is a simple road with different attractions alongside including a village, a car park, an igloo, a whale swimming in the sea and some high rise buildings. This allows for plenty of imaginative play and a good large meandering road that can take you to different destinations. The colours are bright but muted, and are as to be expected. This allows it to be used in many different areas in the home should you desire.
The play mat is created from 100 % nylon making it tough and durable with a latex backing to prevent the rug from sliding when in use. It is a good size being 140 cm in length and 133 cm in width. The care instruction state that it can be washed in the machine at 40°C on a delicate cycle. However, it also recommends professional cleaning due to the size. Washing it can cause it to slightly shrink which is also mentioned.
I am a clean freak and my son likes to create mess when he plays. This is all fine and good, and I certainly wouldn't change that, as I like him to have fun. The rug regularly gets vacuumed to keep it free from debris and has been washed by machine a few times. I find washing it fades the colour and shrinks it ever so slightly. This isn't great, the shrinkage is expected, but the colour fade is a disappointment. This makes the rug look worn and old.
The rug provides a good space for my son to play and he likes to play on it. He doesn't strictly use the marked out road for his vehicles of which he has many, he just plays in the way in which he wants. The picture doesn't seem to make a difference to the way he plays, however, he is autistic, and so I wouldn't expect him to play in a structured way. The mat provides a good place that he can play on with whatever toys he chooses.
The rug certainly stays in place despite my sons crazy antics, running, jumping and rolling on it. It remains flat and never crumples up, so it stays safe. It is good size for a child's bedroom and can either be a main rug for the centre of a medium sized box room or be placed in a corner or area of the room where you or your child would prefer. It is good just as a rug and is also good for play purposes. The images are clear and the colours are good, creating a fun play area for children.
I've actually seen this rug being used in other play settings when out, and it seems a popular choice. The rug is hard wearing, and vacuums easily. I would recommend sponge cleaning rather than machine washing to prevent the colours from fading. In general, this is a good play room item that can be used anywhere in the home. It is also a good choice for schools and nursery's and other areas where children play.
For a low cost item that provides a bit of colour and interest to a playroom this is a good item. It will last, and is best not to be machine washed to preserve the colour.
Lekplats children's play mat
My husband chose this delightful colourful and practical children's play mat for the wooden floor of our playroom more than two years ago. He admits to being particularly excited by this item, as he felt that he and our daughter would get hours of fun from it.
Designed by Annie Hulden and available from Ikea for £13, this machine-washable rug depicts various man-made city and natural countryside attractions all of which have been printed in muted, Autumnal colours. There's a road, a car park, a hospital, a lake and some beautifully depicted snow-capped mountains.
The mat is made from nylon that, in my opinion, is not particularly comfortable to sit on. However our three-year old daughter doesn't seem to mind. She sits on it for up to 20 minutes at a time, playing make-believe picnics with her miniature mermaid dolls next to the lake, and pushing her matchbox cars and emergency vechicles along the road.
The rug is latex backed, which helps keep it in place. This was particularly important when our daughter and her friends were toddlers. This rug is very resilient. It's easy to sponge clean (I've never machine washed it), doesn't seem to hold much dirt or detritus, and hasn't faded despite being exposed to the sun over two summers.
This floor mat has really grown on me. I would have preferred something organic in pretty pastels. However my husband was right to purchase this mat - it has been and continues to be very suitable for our family and lifestyle.
I would certainly by this play mat again, and have recommended it to several friends.
Highly recommended. Five stars.

The Minnesota House of Representatives passed a $1.1 billion bonding bill Monday night. The bill passed by a bi-partisan 92 to 37 vote, despite a veto threat by Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Although the bill got a few Republican votes, it still faced opposition from the GOP, including Rep. Keith Downey, of Edina.
"It's disingenuous at best to assert that this bonding bill is going to create 21,000 jobs in our economy and also assert to the general public that those 21,000 jobs are new jobs," Downey said. "Jobs that wouldn't have occurred if we hadn't left that money in the private economy for investment through individual enterprise."
Added to the bill was a proposal to expand Minnesota's sex offender lockup in Moose Lake, putting the project in play heading into talks with the state Senate.
The bill is nearly half again as large as the spending plan the Governor proposed earlier this year.
Overall, the bill makes improvements and repairs to bridges, dams, classrooms, and clean water infrastructure.
Democrats argue that the bill will get out-of-work Minnesotans working on school and university improvements, road construction and other projects. They also said low interest rates make this a good time to borrow money for capital improvements.
"We asked ourselves the question, how do we get ready as a state for when the economy improves," said DFLer Alice Hausman. "And those three priorities: higher education, transportation and clean water, are absolutely the pieces of infrastructure that get us ready for when the economy recovers."
(MPR reporters Phil Picardi and Tom Scheck contributed to this report.)

Good Points
Bad Points
Unless it was a carvery for vegetarians, this was a joke. If you like decent portions of meat, don't go here.
General Comments
I came to Shepherd and Dog in Ipswich with my wife and children for the carvery on father's day. I was looking forward to it, as I enjoy a good carvery with plenty of meat. We were escorted to a table in a far flung corner, separated from the rest of the restaurant. When we went up for the carvery, a rather grumpy looking chef appeared who went to great pains to slice the meat as thinly as possible. It was literally transparent. We were given two meagre slices each. After being to many other carveries where ample portions are served, this was really pathetic for the price we paid. If you like your meat, give this place a miss. We have been there for a drink several times, but we would never eat there again.

Facebook users, Brooklyn Tech high school students, Vince Neil, and Petra Nemcova will all star in forthcoming reality shows and/or pilots.
Producer R.J. Cutler will follow Facebook users for a Comcast on-demand cable reality series called Facebook Diaries. For the "10-part half-hour series," Facebook users will "submit videos ranging in length from one minute to 20 minutes" that will be "edit[ed] for obscenity, vulgarity and copyright infringement," and then combined "around a specific theme, such as 'Who am I' or 'How I coped with a broken heart,'" Variety reports.
Vince Neil, lead singer for Motley Crue, "is working on the pilot for a new A&E reality-TV show," Blabbermouth.net reported. He broke the news on a Q104.3 radio program earlier this month, and the site says "the program will follow the singer and his family after his parents have moved in with him."
MTV will follow students at Brooklyn Tech for a proposed new reality series called Brooklyn, according to the school's newspaper (via The New York Post). The newspaper reported that "MTV will be filming a pilot about Brooklyn" and "producers are looking for Brooklyn Tech Sophomores and Juniors," and notes that the school's diversity was attractive to the network. MTV had no comment for the Post.
Finally, supermodel Petra Nemcova will be the star of TLC's The Petra Nemcova Project, a competition series that Variety describes as a "grittier take" on modeling than other shows have provided. It "will feature younger models, aged 18-24 … [who] are living in New York, auditioning for the chance to win a contract with NEXT modeling agency. More than one of the models can win a contract, but [executive producer David] Broome said most won't. … Nemcova will serve as a mentor and guide for the would-be models, helping them understand the worlds of fashion and modeling agencies." It debuts this summer.

Over the last few years we have highlighted various privacy concerns about a range of government databases, from the National DNA Database to the DVLA database. Our report in 2011 found how nearly 1,000 police officers had been disciplined for unlawful accessing information over a three year period. Violations of the Data Protection Act included running background checks on friends and potential partners and passing on sensitive information to criminal gangs and drug dealers.
Today The Register has revealed that the RSPCA is able to access information from the PNC, despite not having any formal prosecution powers and not being a statutory-organisation. The information handed over is subsequently going unaudited by the Association of Chief Police Officers Criminal Records Office (ACRO) – run by the Association of Chief Police Officers – who also charge for the access. This is despite the PNC User Manual specifically stipulating that auditing is required for organisations that have had access to 'sensitive information'. If auditing is not being carried out, it is impossible to know whether the RSPCA are using the sensitive data under necessity and proportionately and if they are deleting it when their investigation has concluded.
The issue with the PNC is not merely about who has access to the information, but also about what kinds of information is being stored on it. Recently, a woman claimed that she has been harassed by police in High Wycombe after she ended a relationship with an officer. The woman has claimed that officers stopped her more than 70 times for suspected motoring offences including drink-driving and assault. Despite never being convicted of an offence, it has been claimed that officers filed a wealth of intelligence reports on her which have cost her three jobs after CRB checks were carried out.
There are three clear issues with the PNC as it stands. The first is that non-statutory bodies should not be able to gain access to information unless granted to do so by the courts. Secondly, if they are granted access to this information it is integral that they are then regularly audited to ensure that the information is being used, stored and deleted correctly. Thirdly, the databases should not be able to include any non-administrative information that has not been proven in court, unless there has been authorisation form a court to do so.
The RSPCA is not a part of the police service. It is not a criminal prosecutor. It is not a body established by Parliament to prosecute crimes. It should not have access to the Police National Computer, and nor should any other organisation of similar standing. If it wishes to see information held within it, it should go to court for a warrant.
Perhaps most illuminating of all, the Home Office confirmed to the Register – in response to this [PDF] information request – that it knows nothing about the legal basis of the agreement. The Information Commissioner's Office says it has never been challenged on the legality of the arrangement. Until now – we plan to file a complaint demanding the ICO investigates the lawful basis for this arrangement immediately, and orders the cessation of any third party sharing of PNC data until such a legal basis has been established.

Last year the population of a unique and imperiled species of western grassland grouse known as the lesser prairie-chicken plummeted to half of its already paltry numbers. Let's be honest—a 50% decline for an already imperiled species should lead to federal protection. Last week, over fifteen years after it first determined the species needed that protection, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) finally listed the bird as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). So whether or not the grouse deserves to be listed isn't really the issue. The question is what does listing mean for our collective vision of the American West?
The ESA is a flexible law, so this isn't a choice between conserving the bird or conserving the economy. Preserving the beautiful open spaces that define its dwindling range throughout parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Kansas does not mean putting the livelihoods of our state and region's residents at risk. In fact, by protecting this imperiled grouse, we simultaneously preserve a landscape that is critical to sustaining a range of conservation and economic values, including wildlife habitat, recreation and tourism, as well as agriculture and ranching.
Unfortunately, this threatened listing takes advantage of the ESA's flexibility in a negative way. The listing is so weakened by loopholes and overly broad exemptions for land uses and development that the future of the prairie-chicken remains bleak. According to the Service's news release, the special rule included in the listing "will allow the five range states to…avoid further regulation of activities such as oil and gas development and utility line maintenance…" These exemptions waive key ESA protections for the lesser prairie-chicken based upon voluntary conservation plans that contain inadequate conservation measures and allow for minimal oversight and accountability.
It would be great if we could rely on voluntary conservation plans to preserve our natural heritage for future generations, but we can't do that if those plans do not actually conserve the species. If we don't want to see the prairie-chicken go extinct—and lose its prairie habitat—we need to use all of the tools available to us to protect it. In this case protections should include both the ESA and honest, adequate conservation plans.
While the lesser prairie-chicken should have been granted protection under the ESA years ago, we must also remember that designating federal protection for threatened and endangered flora and fauna is not just about imperiled species. It is about our future, our landscapes, and the preservation of our natural heritage. Where the prairie-chicken is concerned, we are talking about expansive, iconic, historic Southwestern vistas, and the best interests of the region's land, people and wildlife.

Report N1
This women really needs to be put on stop-scammers right away.
Irina had contacted me through Yahoo Personals, and had started to send me e-mail letters in looking for a serious relationship. This women follows some of the typical scam scenarios as stated in this website. When Irina had writter me a letter for $2600, and called me Bill. Of course the red lights went off in my head. I asked Irina if she writes to other men, but does not answer my question. So I used an alter ego to catch Irina in the act, and of course Irina starts sending the exact same letters to my alter ego. Irina is a scammer. BIG TIME SCAMMER.

Roundabout dog
A roundabout dog (Swedish: rondellhund, originally Östgötsk rondellhund[citation needed], "Östergötland roundabout dog", a pun[clarification needed] on västgötaspets[citation needed]) is a form of street installation that began in Sweden during the autumn of 2006 and continued for the rest of the year. There have been sporadic subsequent occurrences. The phenomenon consists of anonymous people placing homemade dog sculptures, typically made of wood (or sometimes plastic, metal or textile) in roundabouts. Occurrences were reported all over Sweden, and the phenomenon also spread to other countries, including Spain after it was mentioned on television, PuntoDos.[1] Swedish tabloid paper Expressen even placed one at Piccadilly Circus.[2]
The roundabout dogs started appearing in Linköping, Östergötland, Sweden (and were therefore originally called de östgötska rondellhundarna), after a sculptured dog that was part of the official roundabout installation Cirkulation II (English: Circulation II) by sculptor Stina Opitz had been vandalised and later removed. The original dog had been made of concrete,[3] and Stina Opitz was planning to make a new version of it after the vandalism,[4] when someone placed a homemade wooden dog [5] on the roundabout. The dog was given a concrete dogbone[6] by another anonymous artist. Soon after the media reported these developments, roundabout dogs started appearing in various places around the country.
Peter Nyberg, the maker of the first 'Rondellhund', of Linköping told tabloid Expressen that his dogs were intended to "mock the state-employed artists, who get so much money to make sculptures that we can do just as well ourselves".
In some smaller towns where there were no roundabouts, dog sculptures were placed in ordinary intersections with traffic islands.
The Swedish artist Lars Vilks made a drawing depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad as a roundabout dog. This was published in a Swedish local newspaper in July 2007. It provoked accusations of blasphemy from some Muslim groups in the Middle East, Lars Vilks Muhammad drawings controversy.
In April 2007 Bjorn Andersson started building roundabout dogs in his workshop south of Stockholm. His mission is to keep rondellhund at Philanthropic Street Art level and to give a moment of enjoyment to all people travelled by car. His dogs have been taken to Australia, the UK and the US.[7]
In 2009, similar dogs appeared on some of the roundabouts in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.[8]

The UN children's agency UNICEF put out a report this week pointing to an alarming situation in Syrian schools.
Violence from the ongoing civil war has caused many children to just stop going to school.
School buildings have been damaged by the fighting, school supplies and desks are hard to come by, and the displacement of thousands of people has led to extremely crowded classrooms where schools are still functioning.
Many NGOs and teachers have been working on grassroots efforts to continue education despite the violence.
Anchor, Marco Werman speaks with Iman Morooka, from UNICEF in Syria, about the ways in children and parents have tried to cobble together their own education system.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER, AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. workers increased their productivity in the April-June quarter, although the gains are probably not enough to slow hiring.
The Labor Department says productivity rose at an annual rate of 1.6 percent in the second quarter. It fell 0.5 percent in the first quarter, a smaller decline than first estimated.
Productivity is the amount of output per hour worked. Rising productivity can slow job creation because it means companies are getting more from their current work forces and don't need to add workers.
But productivity is increasing at a relatively weak pace. It is up only 1.1 percent compared to a year ago. Since 1947, productivity gains have averaged 2.2 percent a year.
Labor costs rose 1.7 percent. That's below the first quarter's revised 5.6 percent gain.

It has been reported that supplementation with the antioxidant vitamins C and E prevents the adaptive increases in mitochondrial biogenesis and GLUT4 expression induced by endurance exercise. We re-evaluated the effects of these antioxidants on the adaptive responses of rat skeletal muscle to swimming in a short term study, 9 days of vitamins C and E with exercise during the last 3 days, and a longer term study, 8 wk of antioxidant vitamins with exercise during the last 3 wk. The rats in the antioxidant groups were given 750 mg/kg body wt. vitamin C and 150 mg/kg body wt. vitamin E per day. In rats killed immediately after exercise, plasma TBAR's were elevated in the control rats but not in the antioxidant supplemented rats, providing evidence for an antioxidant effect. In rats killed 18 hr after exercise, there were large increases in insulin responsiveness of glucose transport in epitrochlearis muscles mediated by a ~2-fold increase in GLUT4 expression in both the short-term and long-term treatment groups. The protein levels of a number of mitochondrial marker enzymes were also increased about 2-fold. Superoxide dismutases (SOD) 1 and 2 were increased about 2-fold in triceps muscle after 3 days of exercise, but only SOD2 was increased after 3 wk of exercise. There were no differences in the magnitudes of any of these adaptive responses between the control and antioxidant groups. These results show that very large doses of antioxidant vitamins do not prevent the exercise-induced adaptive responses of muscle mitochondria, GLUT4 and insulin action to exercise, and have no effect on the level of these proteins in sedentary rats.

Minnesota Civil War Commemoration Task Force
(www.mncivilwar150.com and "Minnesota Civil War 150" on Facebook)
Major Highlights for the Week
Wednesday January 7, 1863
Confederates captured Ozark, Missouri and moved onto Springfield.
A group of 450 women and children left Washington, D.C. for Richmond, Virginia and the South with permission of the Federal government.
The Richmond Enquirer newspaper called the Emancipation Proclamation "the most startling political crime, the most stupid political blunder, yet known in American history…Southern people have now only to choose between victory and death."
Major General Henry Halleck wrote a letter to Army of the Potomac commander Major General Ambrose Burnside emphasizing that "our first object was, not Richmond, but the defeat or scattering of Lee's army." It was endorsed by President Abraham Lincoln.
Thursday January 8, 1863
The Federal garrison at Springfield, Missouri successfully defended the important Ozark area city from the Confederates. A skirmish occurred at Knob Creek, near Ripley, Tennessee.
The U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination of John P. Usher of Indiana as Secretary of the Interior. Usher replace Caleb Smith, who resigned for health reasons.
President Abraham Lincoln defended the Emancipation Proclamation by saying, "it must stand…As to the States not included in it, of course they can have their rights in the Union as of old."
Friday January 9, 1863
The Federal Army of the Cumberland under Major General William Rosecrans was reorganized into three corps, the Fourteenth under George H. Thomas, the Twentieth under Alexander McCook and the Twenty-first under Thomas L. Crittenden.
Skirmishing occurred at Fairfax Court House, Virginia, and salt works near St. Joseph's, Florida were destroyed by boat crews from the U.S.S. Ethan Allen.
Saturday January 10, 1863
Federal forces arrived near Arkansas Post, also known as Fort Hindman, about fifty miles up the Arkansas River from its junction with the Mississippi River and started enveloping the Confederate fort and drove in upon the outer earthworks. Naval bombardment stopped Confederate artillery. Land units were poised to attack the besieged Confederates under Brigadier General T.J. Churchill.
Sunday January 11, 1863
Federal gunboats battered Confederate guns at Fort Hindman, Arkansas, and land forces of Major General John A. McClernand began their attack, which continued for three and a half hours. Admiral David Dixon Porter received white flags of surrender at the fort and the vastly outnumbered Confederates in the outer earthworks surrendered. Federal losses included 134 killed, 898 wounded and 29 missing for a total of 1,061 out of 29,000 engaged and 13 gunboats. Confederates lost 28 killed and 81 wounded for a total of 109, but missing and prisoners put the loss at 4,791 out of 5,000 engaged.
Monday January 12, 1863
The third session of the First Confederate Congress gathered at Richmond, Virginia and received a "State of the Confederacy" message from President Jefferson Davis. He optimistically reviewed the military situation, pointing out the halting of Federals in Virginia, at Vicksburg and in Tennessee. He also went into a long review of foreign relations in hopes of securing recognition of the Confederacy.
Speaking of the Emancipation Proclamation, Davis asserted that it meant the extermination of the Negro race and courage mass assassinations of their masters. He called it proof of the "true nature of the designs" of the Republican Party.
A skirmish occurred at Lick Creek near Helena, Arkansas, while Major General John E. Wool assumed command of the Federal Department of the East.
Tuesday January 13, 1863
A Federal expedition from Helena, Arkansas operated up the White River until the nineteenth, capturing St. Charles, Clarendon, Devall's Bluff and Des Arc, Arkansas.
At Harpeth Shoals on the Cumberland River in Tennessee, the U.S.S. Sidell, a Federal gunboat, surrendered to Confederate troops under Joseph Wheeler. Three transports with wounded troops were also seized in the action. The wounded were put on board one vessel and allowed to go on, while the other boats were burned.
Federal officials formally authorized the raising of Negro troops for the South Carolina Volunteer Infantry to be commanded by Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson.

slightly more brown and older looking?
July 21st, 2011
Over the past couple of days I've noticed a slight pulling like sensation just below my naval. The first time I noticed it, it was around my bladder, but now its around 2 inches below my naval and a little more twords my right hand side, but not by much. I don't have any previous medical conditions. What I mean by a pulling sensation, is that it feels almost like something is pulling the inside of my skin inward. It doesn't hurt at all, just odd feeling. I also only notice it while sitting or laying down, but not while standing. Also, I feel it occurring mainly when I exhale, just before I inhale again.
Any sugestions to getting rid of this or if it could be something serious brewing?

Abdominal Pain Answer A25275
Welcome to ehealthforum
Pulling sensation below naveus can be due to hernia,UTI or a testicle injury.Even if it is at times it requires an evaluation as it can lead to hernia later.
Consider visiting a Physician for physical examination.Meanwhile avoid any heavy weight lifting.
Take Care!

Consolidated issues The Plan.
In an effort to bolster the number of public skateparks in the U.S., Consolidated Skateboards has produced a definitive guide that covers everything from gathering support, approaching city officials, and who to contact for design help. The compact twenty-page manifesto includes sample petitions, worksheets, and relevant statistics, as well as supportive testimony from city officials who have built parks in their communities.
"You go to the city and follow these guidelines, and there's nothing they can say but, 'Okay,'" says Consolidated's Steven "Birdo" Guisinger, who worked with artist Moishe Brenman and former partner Steve Keenan on The Plan.
According to Brenman, Consolidated receives over 100 requests a day for The Plan, and the company has recently established a Web site where it can be downloaded. "All the info is public domain – it's already available to the public," he says. "But most people don't know how to get it."
Guisinger and Brenman hope that The Plan will result in hundreds of new parks across the country. Over five years in the making, The Plan is concise and complete, and an indispensable guide for anyone seriously interested in working for a public skatepark in their community. As an ongoing project, it will be updated over time, and submissions and additional information are welcome. For a copy of The Plan, contact Consolidated Skateboards at: (408) 457-8206; or visit their Web site at:

It sounds like the installer sees the two cores as being two different cpus'
You could try this: Go into the BIOS, disable one core, and then install. After 7 installs, then re-enable the second core. If it BSOD's after the second core is re-enabled, then disable it again and update the BIOS.

Wi-fi version of XBee Module released
Digi Internationa's wi-fi module is designed to be compatible not only with XBee modules, creating a single board design for wireless products
Digi International introduced the XBee Wi-Fi, an embedded module that enables industry leading low power, serial-to-Wi-Fi networking in the popular XBee form factor. Because of the XBee's common footprint and application programming interface (API), customers can now create a single board design for wireless products that supports 802.15.4, ZigBee, ZigBee Smart Energy, 2.4 GHz, 900 and 868 MHz, Wi-Fi and proprietary DigiMesh protocols.
"XBee modules offer developers tremendous flexibility and are extremely easy to use," said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing, Digi International. "By adding a low-power Wi-Fi module to the XBee product family we give customers the fastest and most flexible way to get Wi-Fi up and running on their systems."
Reportedly ideal for energy management, wireless sensor networks and intelligent asset management, the XBee Wi-Fi offers 802.11 b/g/n networking and flexible SPI and UART serial interfaces. Because the module includes the 802.11 b/g/n physical layer, baseband MAC and TCP/IP stack, developers can add Wi-Fi to their products simply by connecting to the XBee Wi-Fi's serial port. The XBee Wi-Fi comes with modular certification for the U.S., E.U., Canada and a number of other countries, further reducing the time to market, development expense and design complexity.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Australia coach Cheika ups ante ahead of Twickenham blockbuster
Michael Cheika has accused Eddie Jones of attacking Australia's scrum in a bid to shroud what the Wallabies consider England's own set-piece shortcomings.
Wallabies boss Cheika claimed prop Dan Cole has been "infringing the law since his career started", in another sideswipe at England and head coach Jones.
England host Australia at Twickenham on Saturday in a Test underscored by an increasingly tetchy war of words between friends and former Randwick team-mates Jones and Cheika.
Former Australia boss Jones aired his concerns with the Wallabies' scrum tactics straight after his England side's 27-14 win over Argentina on Saturday - and now Cheika has hit back.
"He wants to talk about our scrum because we're cheating in the scrum - an important thing to note is he's got to look at his own players," said Cheika of Jones' comments on Australia's set-piece.
Targeting Cole, who was sin-binned in England's win over Argentina on Saturday, Cheika continued: "They are the ones who have a prop with a yellow card.
"That same prop's been infringing the law since his career started probably, if not all of this year."
England boss Jones declared straight after the Argentina victory that he would seek a meeting with Jaco Peyper, the man to referee the Australia clash, to discuss what he considers the Wallabies' illegal scrum tactics.
Cheika initially shrugged off the early pre-match salvo when quizzed on Jones' comments following Australia's 27-24 loss to Ireland in Dublin on Saturday night.
But, having settled into this week's preparations in London, Cheika steeled himself for the verbal jousting - and did not hold back.
While Cole was sin-binned against the Pumas, back in England's summer Test series against the Wallabies the 68-cap tighthead was singled out for criticism by the Australian media.
England won the series 3-0 but boss Jones hit out at an orchestrated campaign against his side from the home media, feeling Cole bore the brunt. Former Australia coach Bob Dwyer produced a detailed critique of what was branded Cole's illegal scrum technique.
Now Cheika has picked up the theme, accusing Cole of "boring in", illegally breaking his bind to scrum at an angle and gain an unfair set-piece advantage.
The Australia boss, however, insists he hopes referee Peyper will be able to see through what he considers Jones' pre-match smokescreen.
"If he thinks the refs are that naïve that if he has a go at our scrum they'll forget about his guy, that's up to the ref," said Cheika.
"It's not up to me. Nothing I can say will make a difference about that.
"It's up to the referee whether he gets influenced by that.
"The guy (Cole) has been boring in and falling down all of June, that's his tactic.
"If he thinks that me saying something back on that is going to change the referee's mind, that's totally up to the ref. I don't think the ref should be influenced by that anyway."
England boss Jones invited Cheika to attend his planned meeting with referee Peyper ahead of Saturday's Twickenham showdown.
Cheika said he would take up that opportunity, just as he had ahead of the summer's second Test in Australia in June.
Former Leinster boss Cheika also claimed England coach Jones had "stormed out" of one of the pre-match referees' briefings during the summer's three-Test series down under.
"How can I refuse an invitation like that?" said Cheika, when told Jones had offered to invite the Australia coach to his pre-match meeting with referee Peyper.
"He's running on our media, he's organising the meetings for the ref and for the Australian team.
"It is funny how your tune changes. In the summer when we asked for those meetings, he was blowing up and he stormed out of one."
England scrum coach Neil Hatley launched a staunch defence of Cole's set-piece technique in response to Cheika's barbs.
Asked if Cole adopts an illegal technique, Hatley replied: "No, absolutely not. It seems to be a common theme from (an) Australian watcher.
"Coley's one of the most respected tightheads in the world. He has been outstanding so far.
"When people have a go at him he just keeps his head down and maintains his form. I think he's a quality scrummager."

Happy Monday, lovelies!
Not sure if you can tell, but New Yorkers have a thing for mimosa laden brunches, and few throw a better bash than TV personality Daisy Lewellyn.
Because the Queen of Effortless Chic always has a bevy of smartly dressed fashionistas (and fashionistos) on her guest list, I decided to bring a photographer to snap a few quick flicks for your viewing enjoyment:
Take a look:
This young lady looked resplendent in a peachy tangerine jumpsuit, topped off by a winning smile. Cute!
A bold jumpsuit was also the sartorial choice for Adorn Jewelry designer Raqquyah, who uplifted a purple creation with a Michael Kors belt and sparkly accents.
A bold coif and lustworthy leather jacket made this brunch ensemble pop.
Rodney aka "Hot Rod" was the epitome of cool in camouflage pants and an oversize shirt of his design, topped off by a vintage leather jacket.
Celebrity hairstylist Nicola Augustine let her hair flow in the wind in a forest green bodycon and simple strappy sandals.
Gone with the Wind Fabulousness was also on tap for hairstylist Nadia, who worked an all white look.
Ashley also opted for all white in a Necessary Clothing ensemble, but added a bit of pop with deep red lips and matching pumps.
A Chanel inspired logo tee and blue metallic brogues provided verve to a blazer and slacks combo.
My makeup artist extraordinaire Shalea Walker opted for prints in a vintage Hermès top.
This Fashion Bomb reader sidled up to Spring 2013's stripe trend in a black and white bodycon.
This fashionisto struck a mean lean in a floral printed hoodie by Scotch & Soda (hot!).
And lastly, the hostess with the mostest, Daisy herself, looked lovely in a Ted Baker asymmetrical draped yellow dress (apparently it comes in several colors–I love it!). Her friend looked adorable in a Motel Plunge Neck playsuit.
As for me…
I love florals, so kept it colorful in a Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Fabric Block Shirtdress and my favorite white Chloé sandals.
At any rate, it was, as always, fun times!
What did you think of this edition of NYC Real Style?

Harrow Vapor racquets play great but they break constantly after little usage. I've owned a squash pro shop for more than 20 years and have lost count of the number of them that are broken and must be returned. They break at 3:00 on the frame and on one side of the the throat when you hit normal shots without hitting the walls or floor. Harrow takes weeks to replace them. I don't understand why people throw away their money on these racquets. You'd be better off buying a cheaper racquet and… Read Full Review

text: First time cooking it. So country pumpkin right..?? what to do.. when you can get it real cheap back home.. in Asia. Anyways.. i made this with sago.. and some pandan essence.. since i didn't have any pandan leaves.. and no where to be found. Thanks to Greenapple.. for sending me some Pandan essence all the way from the States. But i should have only added a drop or two.. coz' it was very strong. So no pandan leaves never mind.. add pandan essence. It turned out pretty good.. and i really liked it.

Hammam Battah, P.E., contributed greatly to the company's scientific analysis and perseverance
FutureNet Group and Solar Water Energy (SWE) are deeply saddened by the passing of Hammam Battah, P.E., inventor and chief executive officer of SWE. His two U.S. patents, awarded after many years of scientific analysis and perserverance, made it possible to use solar energy to convert seawater into fresh water and stored energy into electicity.
Battah was a gentle spirit and father figure to all who knew him. At the time of his passing, he was managing the construction of a dream come true, one of the world's first solar desalination plants currently under construction at a university in India.
When it is fully operational, it will generate up to 64,000 gal of water daily and make the campus fully independent of the local municipal water system.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 129 yards and a touchdown Sunday and the New York Giants' defense recorded 10 sacks in a 17-3 win over Chicago.
Eli Manning completed 18-of-30 passes for 195 yards, without a touchdown or interception for the Giants (2-2), who rebounded from back-to-back losses to Indianapolis and Tennessee.
Brandon Jacobs also ran for New York, which held the previously undefeated Bears to 110 total yards.
New York sacked Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler nine times in the first half, bouncing him out of the game with a concussion.
The Bears (3-1) turned to 38-year-old backup Todd Collins, who was also forced out late in the fourth quarter after being crunched. Caleb Hanie finished the game under center.

Watts dreaded Diana role reaction
Naomi Watts has admitted she was dreading the reaction people would have when they heard she was playing the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
The King Kong actress has taken on the title role in the film Diana and spoke to OK! about the nerves that came with it.
She said: "I was dreading the reaction among the public to my playing her. You know that people will complain that you don't look enough like her, that you're not tall enough, all those things.
"It's very difficult to play someone who had such a deep impact and left such a lasting memory on the public. Our memory of her is still very fresh and you have to be respectful of that. It's also more complicated and sensitive when you take into account her two boys. But I want to do her justice and help her story truthfully."
Naomi, 44, talked about her memories of where she was when she heard that Diana had been killed in a car crash in Paris.
She said: "I was shooting a movie in Canada when she died. I happened to be in a room full of people watching the news and we were all crying and deeply upset. It's one of those events you never forget."
Diana is released in cinemas on September 20.

In the past some people would use RG-11 for speaker cable. It was a 0.4 in. dia. 75 Ohm co-ax cable with a 18AWG center conductor. It was 20pF/ft. It was also very, very stiff.

I've had good experiences with coaxial cables, although it depends greatly on the speaker impedance (no surprise there) and whether you're downtown or in the suburbs. Why? City centres are a mess of electromagnetic interference, which twin-lead can carry back to the amplifier and then to the negative feedback point.

Are you talking about using the cable to feed the panel on the stepped up side or feeding the transformer between the primary winding and the amplifier?

Okay,Thanks Charlie.
I think that it is novel idea to use Coax for speaker cable.
Although it seems to be beneficial, I don't think that one would see any gain in the extra cost unless it was for a very long run.
We once got some $4 per foot Monster cable for a 6' run to use on the Apogee Duette's and I couldn't hear the difference.
It was some fancy made stuff with heavy gauge and twisted pairs all in one cable 99.99% pure oxygen free copper!!! Ahhhh,ha,ha,ha,ha
I did have an instance once were an amp became unstable when I used some 12 ga House wire for speaker cable for a rather long run of about 20 feet.
It was my BGW amp and not having a the third wire connect in a certain configuration acted like an antenna of some sort and caused to chirp and squeal everytime the cable was touch or moved just right.
I had a chart that showed the attenuation of the 12 GA house wire to be less than 1db to .5db right at 20Khz.
It was in a issue of Popular Electronics magazine I had and I found it on the web once.
They were also comparing some standard zip lead as well to the expensive Monster stuff that was out at the time.
I had thought about using Coax for short runs to feed the panels before, for the shielding of the HV.
But the added capacitance is of concern although there is some that has a much lower capacitance as mentioned.
Some heavy duty twin lead would be better than speaker wire as the larger the distance between the two conductors the lower the parasitic capacitance of the cable and would provide a equally balanced load along its length.
Again this would only be of concern at RF frequency's.
The Mogami cable has some great cable however it is very costly from what I remember from my days of messin' with RF transmission and it has one of the lowest attenuation factors for runs of greater than 100'.
But it is only beneficial at 30Mhz and above.
Here are some examples of different cable types,
50 Ohm Braided Coax Cable, RG58 Cable | TESSCO 800 472 7373
50 Ohm Braided Coax Cable, RG142, RG174, RG214 Cable | TESSCO 800 472 7373
Here is the Mogami Data
Mogami W3082
Twin lead, Ladder, Balance line or what ever you want to call it has the lowest attenuation factor of any of the cable assembly type and can be run at any length without impedance mismatch for any frequency.
Being that it is balanced it is immune to any outside noise issues just the same as a twisted pair line.
I have considered using some shielded twin lead (Twinax) before but again it is costly and it was difficult to find some with a really low capacitance per foot.
After all of that I can't say that it won't make a difference but it surly does on the input low level side of things.
I have tried several different types of cable for long runs of only 20' to 30' and some sounded very much better than others and this was affirmed to those types with a lower capacitance per foot were the best.
I was using my guitar on a very high power amp system set on clean and you could instantly notice the better highs coming from my Strat using the lower capacitance cable used to wire my studio.
It was West Penn #291 and I have used it for everything from audio to RF and Video with no issues or degradation in the quality the signal.
The only problem I had with using it was the crackling sound it produces when it is moved around or stepped on.
This is caused from the Piezo effect due to its polyethylene jacketing.
This is were good ole' Belden Rubber jacketed cable wins !!
Charlie, I will be getting on the transformer data within the next week,Sorry for the delay.
I had got a new computer for Christmas and I had been getting it situated and my bench was cluttered up with it.
And now that it is pretty much done I can continue on with my ESL projects.
I am planning on a newer and more thorough easier to follow article on the testing of transformers as during the last one I was still learning my self and got a bit confusing.
I will be including a much more in depth look at the transformer than just finding its Capacitance and such.
One of the things I have to do is make some resistor dividers For x10,x100 and x1000 so that I can get some accurate voltage measurements.
Or least, more consistent ones because my DVM is slightly off when it is switched between ranges.
I discovered this when I was finishing up my HV supply design.
I did this the last time I measured my transformer and got much better and consistent results and was able to quickly measure several of my cores for consistency between them.
I will document this process in my style of full details !!
I plan on getting some THD measurements as well with a x1000 or even a x10,000 divider using my computer.
Cheers !!!

I just finished a pair of 10ft Mogami 3082 cables and heard them for the first time a few minutes ago. Nothing profound to report at this time-- I am withholding judgement on their sound until I've had time to listen to them at length-- at least they didn't blow up my amps right off the bat. This week will be rather busy so it may take me a while to evaluate.
The build photos are here
