The Oconee Youth Playhouse is presenting the musical production of "Little Shop of Horrors" this weekend at the Oconee County Civic Center.
The play is centered on a man-eating plant named Audrey II, who is named after Audrey, a sweet young woman (played by Kelsey Duttlinger, a sophomore at North Oconee High School) who yearns to trade her Skid Row life for a place "Somewhere That's Green."
But Audrey finds herself having to contend with her boyfriend, a sadistic dentist named Orin (played by University of Georgia vocal performance major Joseph Hitchcock). Meanwhile, there's the nerdy floral assistant, Seymour (played by Justin Miskin from Atlanta), who seems to be developing a crush on her.
Welcome to the campy world of "Little Shop of Horrors," an affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies. One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, "Little Shop" originally was a movie that became a musical then turned back into a movie.
The "Little Shop" cast includes 19 local high school and college students. In addition to Duttlinger, several other North Oconee High School students have featured roles, including senior William Vaughn as Mr. Mushnik and freshmen McCall Stiles and Ashley Robinson, along with UGA freshman Maggie Parsons, form a trio of Shoo Bop Girls.
Chris Vizurraga, a senior at Oconee County High School, supplies the voice of the insatiable plant with a strange appetite for human blood, while Tyler Beckett, a 10th-grader at North Oconee, will serve as the puppeteer for Audrey II.
The Friday and Saturday shows are at 7 p.m., with a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. Tickets are $12-16 and are on sale at Oconee Youth School of Performance, 1050 Jamestown Blvd. in Watkinsville.
For more information, call (706) 769-2677.

I can't believe this Toshiba DR3 DVD recorder is still being sold for £240 at several places considering it's now a discontinued model. Richer Sounds have it for just under £100 and that represents excellent value for money.

ATLANTA -- Georgia officials refused Friday to grant Haiti permission to dump a boatload of 100 tons of incinerated waste that was shipped overseas from Pennsylvania more than 12 years ago.
Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin said he rejected the noxious ash because the U.S. government could not guarantee the waste was free of viruses that could infect livestock.
In the late 1980s, the freighter Khian Sea went from port-to-port looking for a dumping ground for the burned trash. About 4,000 tons were unloaded in Gonaives, Haiti, in December 1987, and the military government was paid for the dumping.
But Haitian environmentalists argued the waste was toxic, and the government prepared in 1998 to ship it back to the United States. The initial plan was to dispose of it in South Carolina, but the state backed off because of concerns from residents and politicians.
Irvin said U.S. agriculture officials contacted him Friday about a request to dump the ash in Folkston, a southeast Georgia city 38 miles from the coast, near the Florida line. Irvin said he couldn't be satisfied that the waste had no contaminants from Haiti.
''They still have some of the viruses that affect livestock, especially hog cholera ... that we spent millions of dollars to eradicate here in Georgia,'' Irvin said. ''It might have left here innocent, but it might have come back here contaminated.''

Blood moon
The blood moon, or hunter's moon, is the name of October's full moon. Though it may seem like a Halloween ploy, the names come from Native Americans' hunting practices late in the harvesting season. The day of the hunter's moon continues to have significance to this day — according to the Farmers' Almanac, it has been a day of feasts in Western Europe as well as in Native American tribes.

(48 quotes found)
"It's at least a sprain. It locked up on him. He'll have to be evaluated further before I can tell anything more than that. It's not good."
"We tend to think if a kid isn't knocked unconscious, he's okay, ... aren't like an ankle sprain that is clearly identifiable."
"It's just a little sprain. Playing through it isn't going to be too bad. ... Earlier in the week, there was a little pain, but it's starting to get better."
"I was cramping a little bit. My legs were hurting. I sprained my ankle last week and that was still a factor. I was able to pull it together at the end."
"Stacey is a player that I classify as a warrior. She has a severely sprained ankle that she got against Middlebury. A few minutes after, she told me she was OK."
"It's not in the same spot as before. They don't know if it's torn, if it's a sprain or strain, or whatever that is."
"It's not very significant. The MRI shows just a mild sprain so we'll be very careful with it. He has the potential, or the possibility anyway, of being available this week. We'll just have to see how he is. We'll hold him out of everything until Saturday, and then we'll see where he is at that time."
"Then really what he has is a bad ankle sprain. If that's the case, they would probably scope the ankle quickly, take the little chips or fragments out that he has. ... That would be certainly not season-ending and might be around a month or so. We're kind of rooting for that."

(I accidentally posted this in the 'Am I pregnant' section)
Hello and thank you for taking the time out to read this question.
I've been having sex for over a year now. I always use protection. Condoms are mandatory. However, as of recent, more than ever, I've been worried about catching something. Anytime I feel a bump, that's usually caused by my shaving down there, I panic and think the worst. I do get tested and so far I've got no callbacks telling me I've got something.
To get to point, while I was feeling around in my vagina I felt a weird bump. It was just barely on the inside. I inserted my finger, only so much, and angled my finger downward. I figured something might've go in there to I tried to move it but it didn't budge. This worries me. I didn't feel it until recently and it's all I can think about. I tried googleing to see if it was just another part of the vaginal anatomy that I wasn't familiar with, but I saw nothing. Also, It itches down there, kind of. Not where the bump is, because the bump is on the inside, but just kind of near the vaginal hole. There is discharge. It's been like this for quite some time now, actually.
I'm hoping someone will give me some answers that are in my favor.
Once again, thank you for take the time and reading my question.

You have to be bold to start a business. An entrepreneur is "one who undertakes significant financial risk." So, really, all sellers are brave. You're all bold. You're all crazy enough to ignore the odds and tough enough to stick it out.
We at Square hear a lot of these stories, and some stand out. Stories of extraordinary vision and extreme perseverance. Of building your community while you build your business. Of turning an idea into a livelihood into an unstoppable force.
We created the BRASSYs—our first-ever awards program—because we want to recognize these sellers. Five BRASSY winners will receive mentorship from business luminaries at a special one-day Seller Summit, a $10,000 cash prize, Square hardware, and more.
Stories are due by October 9.
Here's how the BRASSYs work: first the public weighs in, voting on their favorite businesses. Then a judging panel at Square chooses thirty-five finalists from those entries. Popularity counts—that's where the public vote comes in—but so do things like mission, innovation and originality, community involvement, and customer love. They'll also consider other factors, like clear and compelling responses, social media presence, and more (think of those like extra credit). See Official Rules for details.
From the thirty-five finalists, the judges will narrow it down to five winners, using the same criteria of mission, innovation and originality, community involvement, and customer love. May the BRASSY-est businesses win.Thirty-five BRASSY finalists will receive:
September 13-October 9: Business submissions and public voting period open
mid-October: Square will choose 35 finalists based on contest criteria and public vote
mid-November: Official judging panel will choose five winners from the finalists pool

I used to like Instructables, but they're getting more and more annoying with their "members only zomg!" stuff. I don't see why I should have to create an account just to view the photos attached to a project.
yeah i feel the same way, stopped using them after requiring a login to view all steps on one page business. Practically speaking I would rather write my own instruction that is in a format that I know won't annoy people even it means *much* less exposure.
With that said I'm still glad the site exists because I used it recently to help me with a DIY project at home.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

"The Syrian regime [will] not get a strategic or tactical advantage" as a result of the ongoing debate on Capitol Hill over military options in the region.
U.S. forces were poised to strike in late August in retaliation for reported chemical strikes by Assad's forces against anti-government rebels in the country.
Use of those weapons crossed a so-called "red line" with the administration, triggering plans for military action.
But Obama delayed the attack in order to allow Congress to vote on authorizing military action in Syria.
Seeking official authorization from Congress could unify the country behind any effort to strike the Syrian government, according to Obama.
But some lawmakers are concerned that the administration may be running out of time to take decisive military action in the country.
"I think all of us recognize that it is a bit of a strange situation when you come to Congress to [seek] authorization for action you can already take," Sen. Jeff FlakeJeffrey (Jeff) Lane FlakeGOP rushes to cut ties to Moore Flake on Moore defenders: 'This cannot be who we are' GOP senators raise concerns over tax plan MORE (R-Ariz.) told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday.
"There are a lot of questions as to why we waited" to take action in the country, he said.
The biggest concern, according to Flake, is efforts Assad's forces are reportedly taking in anticipation of an American attack.
Assad is reportedly moving prisoners taken by his forces to military sites across the country that could be targeted by U.S. missiles.
Syrian troops have already abandoned positions in the capital of Damascus, retreating to underground bunkers and military compounds north of the city.
Former CIA operative Bob Baer told CNN on Sunday the Assad regime could use the delay to launch new offensives against the rebel positions initially targeted in the chemical strikes.
That said, planned U.S. operations against Syria "will be effective tomorrow, or next week, or one month from now, and I am prepared to give that order," Obama said Sunday.

HiE is a popular genre, but are there any good Non Humans in Equestria? Like a being that looks human and perhaps mistaken for a human, but isn't?
There are plenty of Doctor in Equestria Fics, but I mean like Kal-El of Krypton. Or Martian Manhunter. Or perhaps artificial humans like Wonder Woman. Or maybe even some Sekirei in Equestria.
Why are humans the only ones visiting Equestria? Can you imagine how awesome it would be for Superman to fight Discord? Or Wonder Woman to fight Nightmare Moon? Would any pony be crazy enough to try and initiate the Sekirei plan in Equestria?
What other crossovers would you like to see?
I'd like to see a Mars Attacks/MLP crossover.
I'd like to see Sindarin elves in Equestria, or mayhaps Klingons in Equestria.
The one I'm writing has a character that is 1/8th wood elf from Dungeons and Dragons, if that counts.
What about Jack Frost? he mutant killer snowman? Oh, and Discord could just teleport Superman into space. Thereby killing him from suffocation.
688668 688708 688626 not only can superman somehow breath in space he CAN HEAR in space too(none future), Future Superman can survive 3 supernovas to the face, blow up a planet with his heat vision, and was it that he can move at mach 12? and also he can read minds if he touch's you, and many more outrageous bullroar, that's also why i dislike him, also hes practically a god in the future did you know that? that only reason he cant do half of that now in the present is because of "mental blocks" he has set up for some stupid reason... how does a mental block keep you from surviving 3 super novas?
and yes this is all sadly true about his powers

DEAR AMY: I have a 22-year-old son who just graduated from an out-of-state university, which we paid for.
Now that he's back home, he tells us that to maximize his major (psychology), he will need to pursue a master's degree because he would like to be a clinical psychologist.
He now has a part-time job and is paying rent/bills. He wants us to pay for his additional schooling.
He does not want to be in debt and take out loans because he thinks we have extra money to help out. What do you suggest?
Mommy Big Bucks
DEAR MOMMY: Your son sounds impressively self-directed (working, paying rent and expenses).
The next step for him will be the burden of successfully negotiating with you about what you will (or won't) pay for. This is great practice for a future psychologist. He is responsible for fulfilling his own goals.
He should research and pursue financial aid through grants, scholarships or fellowships. If (after putting together his financial package) he still needs a financial bridge in order to fully fund his education, you might be willing to formally loan him this money (at low or no interest), to be repaid once he completes his education and secures a professional job in his field.
If you can't do this — or don't want to — he will have to decide whether he is willing to take on personal debt or pursue his higher degree in stages, or as he can afford it.
DEAR AMY: I am worried about verbal/emotional abuse to my grandson by his father. I have talked to my daughter about this, but the situation doesn't seem to be improving.
I have also talked to the school counselor. She says she would have to reveal the source of this concern, and I am afraid that I will not see my grandchildren again if it is revealed that I have complained.
I don't think this abuse is intentional, but it comes from ignorance of any other way to "control" the boy.
Where can I turn for help in this matter?
Anxious Grandmother
DEAR ANXIOUS: You don't say how old the boy is, or the nature of this mistreatment. Parents have a right to make individual choices about how to parent their children, even if you don't agree with their choices.
On the face of it, going to the school counselor will be interpreted as an overreach. However, if you feel strongly that professional intervention is necessary, then you should pursue it, regardless of the risk you perceive to your relationship.
Your daughter knows you are concerned about how the child is being treated; you should assume that even if the counselor discloses you as the source of the complaint, it won't surprise this couple because they would already assume you are the source.
You should advocate not only for your grandchild, but for the parents, too. If you are able to influence them gently and effectively, everybody wins.
Your family should read, "It's a Boy! Your Son's Development from Birth to Age 18" by Michael Thompson and Teresa Barker (2009, Ballantine Books).

Abbott released details on its Phase 3 hepatitis C registrational program following promising results from its Phase 2b clinical trial, known as Aviator, presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) in Boston. The Phase 3 clinical trials are designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of a 12-week regimen of three direct acting antivirals (DAA), with and without ribavirin, for the treatment of HCV in genotype 1 (GT1) non-cirrhotic, treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients. An additional Phase 3 trial will study triple-DAAs, with ribavirin, in patients with cirrhosis for 12 or 24 weeks.
The Phase 3 program, which is currently open for enrollment, will include more than 2,000 patients with HCV genotype 1, with trial sites in 29 countries. The DAAs in the studies include ABT-450/r (protease inhibitor and ritonavir), ABT-267 (NS5A inhibitor) and ABT-333 (non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor). Treatment duration will be 12 weeks in non-cirrhotic patients, and 12 or 24 weeks in cirrhotic patients. All patients will be followed for 48 weeks post-treatment. Co-formulated tablets of ABT-450/r and ABT-267 will be used in the Phase 3 trials.
"Abbott is committed to investigating a short-course HCV therapy without the use of interferon to achieve high SVR rates," said Scott Brun, M.D., divisional vice president, Infectious Disease Development, Abbott. "Our trial enrollment strives to reflect a broad range of populations, including those that have been difficult to treat. We have been very encouraged by the data from the Phase 2 studies, and look forward to confirming the findings in our Phase 3 program."
Topline intent-to-treat results from the 12-week, triple-DAA regimens with ribavirin presented at the AASLD meeting this week found that 97.5% (77 of 79) of treatment-naïve GT1 patients and 93.3% (42 of 45) in GT1 null responder patients achieved SVR12.

Holiday county that was a haven for Jews
Christopher Richards discovers Cornwall's fascinating Jewish heritage.
Thousands of tourists will have descended on Cornwall during the holiday season, a fair few Jews among them. But what the visitors may not know is that the county which is famous for its pasties, beaches and clotted-cream teas, is also home to a fascinating Jewish heritage.
In the south-western coastal towns of Penzance and Falmouth, two finely kept cemeteries bear testament to two forgotten, but important, Jewish communities.
The Jews first came to west Cornwall from Europe in the early 18th century and would stay for the best part of 200 years. Now, only their headstones endure, a silent reminder of a diaspora that contributed so much to the county's economy during the boom years of the Industrial Revolution.
But although the men and women themselves have gone, their legacy is certainly not forgotten, thanks largely to the efforts of a handful of local volunteers. The Penzance cemetery, which has been described as one of the best preserved extant Jewish burial grounds outside London, is currently looked after by retired lecturer Keith Pearce, with the assistance of the town council.
Meanwhile, the graveyard in Falmouth is maintained by Eric Dawkins, a volunteer who was awarded an MBE in January for his community work. However, their contributions alone are not enough, which is where the Board of Deputies steps in.
Here, they lived in a climate that was free from fear
Colin Spanjar, the Board's director of community issues, says that the cemetery in Penzance, for example, is in need of refurbishment. We have already done some work on the walls as can be clearly seen by the capping and railings that were placed on them about a 18 months ago.
"That said, the walls will require restorative work because, over the centuries, they have been affected by the weather and the type of work that is required is highly specialised. The cost, we believe, will be in the region of £20,000 and, in the current economic climate, this has been difficult to raise."
But he believes it is a sum worth collecting. "The cemetery in Penzance is a unique place to visit and is one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in the country," he says.
"I have now visited it twice, and when you do, you realise how unique and important it is to the history of the local community.
"The key to the cemetery is the high walls - which are Grade 2 listed - and the fact that it is hidden away within the local area, yet, when you walk inside, it is very serene."
And according to its custodian Pearce, it is not just the cemetery itself which is peaceful.
Looking back at those who made the county their home from around 1720 onwards, he says: "The Jews of Cornwall lived in a climate free from fear and persecution and one of acceptance by their Christian neighbours.
"They didn't involve themselves in mining, fishing or farming; they were not in competition with the local people and so were not considered a threat."
He says those Jews who came to the county worked in a variety of jobs, including as tailors, jewellers, silversmiths, clockmakers, pawnbrokers and wine dealers.
The 62-year-old, who has co-authored a book called The Lost Jews of Cornwall with historian Helen Fry and Godfrey Simmons, says that these specialist skills were both welcomed and needed by the Cornish as the economy boomed around them.
Many of the Jews who came to Britain, he explains, were fleeing from discrimination and persecution on the continent. There was a particular reason why Cornwall was such an attractive destination for them.
"The trade union movement never really took off in Cornwall and a significant number of miners, fishermen and farmers were freemasons," Pearce says. "The Jews were welcomed into the Masonic lodges, which were
places where they were free from
These days the county's Jewish population is limited to a small but thriving congregation of around 50 families in Truro - boosted at this time of year, of course, by the influx of Jewish visitors, who as they lick ice creams on the beaches, might pause to ponder the time when Cornwall was much more than just a holiday haven.

At present, market analysts expect that in the first half o 2013, stock markets of UAE and Saudi Arabia will excel in performance compared to the financial markets in other Middle Eastern countries. These expectations are based on the steady economic growth combined with the strategic asset management and optimistic economic forecasts.
The past 2012 brought different drivers for equities in the region, though the negativity prevailed. Not very optimistic outlook for growth for the Gulf economies, the widespread global financial crisis and the escalating tensions in the region affected financial markets.
By the end of 2012, the benchmark index of Dubai climbed by over 17%, leaving behind the nearly 15% increase of Morgan Stanley's Emerging Markets Index. Numbers show that the benchmark index of Abu Dhabi rose only by 8.8% and the Saudi index gained just 7.3%. Kuwait's index rose by the mere 3.0% giving no signs of recovery.
In respect of this data massive equities rebound in the Gulf would look to good to be true. Though, experts share a view that in the begging of 2013 will bring good signs of recovery as sound amount of investment will pour into the market. Where this investments would come from, it is not yet very clear.
The financial markets of UAE are expected to continue with their positive performance till the last day of year on the back of 2013 forecasts.
One of the major drivers on financial level in 2012 was the revival of Dubai's property market, which collapsed during the fourth quarter of 2008. In respond to the positive data, the shares of Dubai's largest real estate developer – Emaar Properties rose significantly by over 4o% in 2012. This upward tendency is most likely to continue in the new year.
It is logical that property investors from the MENA region are mostly interested in Dubai's real estate market. It is very much likely that Dubai has learned its lesson from the past crash and regulatory efforts will help avoiding similar situation.
Real estate industry insiders expect that the fast and hasty property development in the emirate would be replaced with more coordinated management with steady long-term development. Such new strategy won't bring unfavorable comfort. In fact, in 2013 most areas in Dubai are expected to witness slight price and rental rises.
Other driver in support of UAE financial markets is the high dividend liquidation predicted for some stocks.
Analysts say that Air Arabia is in the top list with a 7.5% gain according to a profit dividend forecast. The forecast predicts that 5.8% would be the yield of Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. ADCB suffered significant losses during the past 4 years, and although the bank is trying to recover it with aggressive increases in fees for retail banking and very high credit card interest rates, the perspectives are still not extremely optimistic to many traders.
Most publicly listed companies will report their annual earnings and propose dividends in the first-quarter of the new year. Therefore bullish performance of the both UAE-based financial markets, DFM and ADX, seems very much likely in the first quarter of 2013. The market at present is not so expensive and dividend growth is up ahead.
According to expert forecasts, the DFM index now is set at approximately 9.5 times expected 2012 earnings and 8.2 times of 2013 ones. The asset division outlook is more optimistic for equities than for bonds. This is driven by the yields tightening which reduced the appetite for bonds.
Yet, the trading activity across the UAE markets is rather weak. According to analysts, the stock markets strength is not yet encouraging new IPOs.
The bourse in Dubai had trading volume of 106 billion shares back in 2009, and in 2012 only about 35 billion shares by now.
The biggest equity market in MENA, the Saudi Arabia's Tadawul, registered trading volume of 76.7 billion shares exchanged this year. The market had some see-saw performance from an 11-month drop in November. This was in affect of larger state spending in the government budget for 2013 that should be released soon.
The basic sector for Saudi Arabia's financial market, the banking sector, is expected to advance steadily, supported by vivid economic recovery, housing construction and infrastructure frenzy. Portfolio managers forecast 18% rise in Saudi banks' profit.

Michael C. Daconta of GCN recently wrote, "Over the last year, several developments on the artificial intelligence (AI) front have occurred that reflect our wildest fantasies and worst fears for this technology. Here are a few examples: A battle continues to rage between MIT linguist Noam Chomsky and Google Director of Research Peter Norvig over the increased use of statistics and probability in AI. Chomsky argued that the 'new AI' is merely mimicking behavior instead of unraveling the rules and processes of cognition. On the other hand, Norvig takes a more practical, probabilistic approach, believing in AI's suitability for natural language processing, for instance. Last month, CNBC reported that inventor Elon Musk and physicist Stephen Hawking expressed concerns about the future of AI, suggesting that there are dangers in the fledging AI market. They made it easy to surmise they fear a Robopocalypse caused by AI run amok!"
Daconta continues, "Of course these events portend neither apocalypse nor nirvana. Instead, they are a solid demonstration of the continued evolution of AI. This week, a newscientist.com article described the success of 'niche AI' applications like the one that schedules the massive Hong Kong subway system and another that sorts passport applications. I believe modern approaches to AI will be like these niche apps. In other words, we will use probability to match a formal model to a current problem so we can execute rules or other cognitive processes. Applying AI techniques to enterprise applications is also becoming more commonplace with business rule management systems via tools like JBOSS BRMS, ontology development via tools like protégé and other semantic Web platforms."

JSC pairs with tech center to develop new business
Updated 10:05 pm, Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Johnson Space Center took another step Tuesday into the brave new world where the space shuttle no longer flies.
The center's director, Mike Coats, signed an agreement with the Houston Technology Center to try to turn spaceflight innovation into new businesses.
It's the latest round of activities in which the space center is attempting to turn downsizing into new opportunities.
"Some people have the impression we're going out of the space business," Coats said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. JSC is committed to remaining the preeminent human spaceflight center in the world."
Coats signed a "space act agreement" with the technology center that will provide office space at the Clear Lake-area space center for four business development professionals.
The plan is to develop entrepreneurial ideas based on spaceflight technology and work with space employees to develop new businesses.
The agreement comes about half a year after the end of the space shuttle program, which Johnson Space Center managed.
In the last 18 months, the center has shed 3,500 jobs and its budget has dropped $1 billion, to $5 billion annually.
The initiative with the technology center, a business incubator, is part of Coats' efforts to keep a core of talented employees in space until NASA's next rocket and spacecraft are ready to fly later this decade.
Walter Ulrich, president of the technology center, said many opportunities exist to bring technologies into the commercial sector.

Documented irregularities have revealed that a power struggle between actors in the Ministry of Narcotics Control, the Anti Narcotics Force (ANF) and the prime minister himself, led to the highlighting of the role allegedly played by the prime minister's younger son in Ephedrine scandal, sources told The Express Tribune.
Five other pharmaceutical companies had also been given an approval of a quota of 122,712 kilograms of Ephedrine, a controlled drug, over three years, 2008, 2009 and 2010 (40,904 kilograms each year), but the Anti Narcotics Force (ANF) never initiated a probe against any of the five pharmaceutical labs, official documents show.
Owners of the two accused pharmaceutical companies Ansar Farooq Chaudhry and Rizwan Ahmed Khan confirmed this information while talking to The Express Tribune.
In their comments, Chaudhry and Khan also criticised a section of the media for conducting a witch hunt against the premier's son, saying, for example, that the price of 9,000 kilograms of Ephedrine is only Rs54 million – only a fraction of the "Rs7 billion" being reported in the media. They added that the price of Ephedrine is only Rs6,000 per kg.
A Karachi-based lab's quota of 18,000 kilograms of chemical Ephedrine was also approved in each of 2008, 2009 and 2010 (a total of 54,000 kilograms) while another pharmaceutical lab's total quota of 30,000 kilograms of Ephedrine was also approved during the same period. Yet another lab in Karachi was given approval of 15,042 kilograms over three years, while 12,752 kilograms was approved for an Islamabad-based lab during the same period. The ministry of health had approved a quota of 10,818 kilograms for an Islamabad-based lab over three years, official documents further revealed.
Nevertheless, despite the record of approval for such enormous quotas of Ephedrine in the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Narcotics Control, the ANF failed to initiate any action against any other pharmaceutical company or any official of the Ministry of Health.
Instead, the ANF only registered a case against two firms, ie, M/s Berlex Labs International, Multan, and M/s Danas Pharma, Islamabad, for getting an approved quota of 9,000 kilograms of Ephedrine. The accused owners of these labs have accused certain ANF officials of trying to malign the prime minister through his son and his principal secretary as he had earlier served as health secretary.
In any case, the ANF, the Senate Standing Committee on Interior, the Ministry of Health, and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), had earlier all cleared the two pharmaceutical companies. The Ministry of Health had issued a permission letter to M/s Berlex Lab International, Multan, on March 25, 2010, regarding the purchase of 6,000 kilograms of Ephedrine from M/s Alpha Chemicals (Pvt) Ltd, Lahore.
Later, the names of the Ali Musa Gilani and the prime minister's principal secretary Khushnood Akhtar Lashari were not mentioned in the FIR, supplementary charges sheets, or even the report submitted before the Special Court for Anti Narcotics, Rawalpindi.
The FIR stated that M/s Berlex Lab after obtaining a quota of 6,500 kilograms and M/s Danas Pharma after obtaining a quota of 2,500 kilograms of Ephedrine, sold the drug to smugglers. However, despite a lapse of several months, the ANF has yet to complete an investigation into the matter or reveal any details about the names or whereabouts of the alleged smugglers involved, documents available with The Express Tribune revealed.
In addition, the involvement of the ANF is itself puzzling – given that not been a single case in Pakistan has ever been registered on the grounds that narcotics could be made through ephedrine. The ANF had nothing to do with the case as it came within the purview of the health ministry and the Drug Act, because ephedrine is not an illicit drug.
Within this irregularity, there are more legal problems.
Since, under the law, an FIR is only registered after recovery of illicit drugs, former secretary (Narcotics) Sohail Ahmed's order to register an FIR instead of seeking a legal opinion about the suspected irregularities in allocating the quota to the pharmaceutical companies was actually illegal.
The owners of these labs went on to claim that the ANF had first tried to pressurise them regarding the involvement of Ali Musa Gilani and Akhtar Lashari and when that didn't work, they pressurised officials of the ministry of health to link them to the case in any capacity.

Chris Bosh had the chance to toss some underwhelming Raptors under the bus yesterday.
But the captain refrained from giving them the verbal push. All he could do, with playoffs now just a pipe dream, was to set the ground rules he'd like them to follow for the final 18 games this season and hope something positive is the result. Despite 41 losses in 64 games, including five straight defeats, Bosh said the team has to take some pride in not stinking out the joint or disgracing the uniform.
"Just being in the games ... that's all I ask." Bosh said at the ACC as the Raptors dissected Sunday's late letdown in a 109-101 loss to Utah. "Just to have a chance is all you can ask for in this league -- and to pull it out at the end.
"Things don't go your way sometimes, but as long as you keep going ... a real man will stand up, admit his faults and come back and work hard the next day. Every time I play, I give the best I can, 100%. I step on the court, I hold my head up, I can walk off like a man, no matter what happens.
"I want to see some wins. That's really it. We've talked about everything else. (Effort) is not converting into wins and that's all I want to see."
Bosh is scoring his share, back-to-back 30-point games and clinging to a spot in the NBA's top 10 with a 22.7 points per game average. He still is hustling, and in tandem with the 7-foot Andrea Bargnani, who is a 58% shooter from the field the past three games, is giving the team a toe-hold most nights.
But the supporting cast either can't or won't play a 48-minute game.
"You've got to ask them," Bosh said, when questioned whether the team is on the same page with his philosophy. "That's a good question. I think so. If you asked those guys, they would say the same thing."
Jay Triano, whom Bosh staunchly believes is doing everything in his power to get team traction, said that finding the missing ingredient with Bosh and Bargnani has become one of the most challenging parts of his rookie term as head coach.
Some nights it was Jermaine O'Neal, when he was healthy. Since the trade deadline, Shawn Marion has been effective most nights. The past couple of games, prodigal NBAer Pops Mensah-Bonsu has been a catalyst.
"When we win, it seems it's one more part added to that (Bosh and Bargnani) equation," Triano said. "But someone else has to step up and be a threat from the perimeter as well. Otherwise, they'll just keep collapsing (on the big two) as Utah did.
"I don't think (the Jazz) was really concerned about us on the perimeter late in the game. It started running two or three guys at Chris, making it difficult for him."
Triano was thankful the Raptors weren't hanging their heads yesterday as they trooped into the Bay St. gym, in fact, he called the closed practice one of the more spirited of the season.

Many may think that it's only Khans who are popular across the border. Surprisingly, even Emraan Hashmi is on the most wanted list in Pakistan. A leading Pakistani leading channel has started a prime time show titled Main Tum Aur Imran Hashmi. That too without actor's knowledge.
A source told Mumbai Mirror,"Clearly, Emraan's name has been spelt wrong to evade copyright issues. However if you watch the show once, you will immediately know that producers wanted to capitalise on Emraan Hashmi's popularity in the country. Surprisingly, Emraan's permission wasn't taken on this."
It clearly shows that Emraan's hard work and determination towards his work has finally paid off.

Problems with Garmin Chest Strap of HRM
I got this Garmin HRM chest strap thats not working. I put in different batteries and still no signal.
What other methods can i try to get chest strap of HRM to work?
What other reasons may a strap not work? thanks
Did you moisten the contact? Are you wearing it in the right place? Is it oriented correctly, not inside out?
Is it new and under warranty? Did you buy it in a local shop? If either of these, work with the vendor.
Everyone has had trouble with the newer "Premium Strap" including me. Most have had to replace the strap. I went back to my older all-plastic type of strap and it continues to work perfectly. There have been previous threads about the problem.
I've been through many of these types of straps in the past few years. The older plastic Garmin strap worked the longest of any of them. But the longest any have worked is about 6 months and that's with changing batteries and using gel. So I have preordered a Life Beam helmet. A little pricy but with my heart condition it will be worth it……… if it works that is.
see http://life-beam.com/products/fitness/
Same problem. I wash just the contacts after every ride. Garmin knows about the problem and they finally came out with a new strap.
Have you setup the device to pair with it? If you haven't, wet the pads on the strap, put it on, then force a pairing with your unit. Also, depending on the Garmin unit, you may need to set up a field to display HR, etc...

The U.S. military says an American soldier has died in a vehicle accident in Iraq.
A statement says the Multi-National Division – Center soldier died Thursday when the vehicle rolled over.
The military says the accident was not related to combat and is under investigation.
Friday's statement doesn't identify the soldier or give more details about where the accident occurred. The soldier's division operates in an area south of Baghdad.
The death raises to at least 4,230 members of the U.S. military who have died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003. That's according to an Associated Press count.

South County has followed the same template as last season: slow start, hot finish, middle-of-the-pack seed in the Virginia AAA Northern Region Division 5 playoffs, first-round game against Madison (8-2).
"I definitely see some similarities," Stallions senior linebacker Oren Burks said. "We kind of got on a roll at the end of the season and hope to make the same run as last year and finish a little bit stronger."
[Complete playoff brackets can be found here.]
South County last season reeled off 11 consecutive wins after an 0-3 start to reach the state championship. When the current team sat at 1-5 and was hobbled by injuries, a similar run seemed a long way off.
All those losses, however, were to teams that qualified for the playoffs, and the Stallions (5-5) rallied to win their last four games. Just like last year, they enter the postseason playing at a level higher than their seed (fourth last year, sixth this year).
South County beat Madison, 31-0, in the first round last year. The question for the current Stallions is how a largely new group will handle the playoff atmosphere and inherent expectations that come as a defending state finalist.
"We've been talking to [the newer players], but it's really something you have to learn from personal experience," said Burks, a Vanderbilt recruit and the Patriot District defensive player of the year. "You can only say so much. We don't have as much experience as last year, but we're starting to see everything jell together, and we're really excited about that."
The Stallions essentially have been in the playoffs for the past month, because a sixth loss likely could have knocked them out of a postseason berth. The team's most impressive win was a 48-14 victory over West Springfield (6-4) on Oct. 19. That's the only team with a winning record that the Stallions have beaten.
South County has scored 47 points or more in each of its wins, with junior quarterback David Symmes, a finalist for district offensive player of the year, accumulating almost 2,000 offensive yards. Senior Warner Hunter and junior Levaughn Davis have combined for more than 1,500 rushing yards and senior Aaron Jackson has caught eight of Symmes's 13 touchdown passes.
Burks, playing more inside linebacker this season, has led a defense that has given up 46 points the past four games, when the schedule softened and some key players returned from injury. The Stallions are following his lead.
"I found out when I make plays," Burks said, "everyone else wants to make plays as well."
Like most coaches, West Potomac's Jeremiah Davis believes that the playoffs mark the start of the second season. But instead of just relaying those words to his players as the sixth-seeded Wolverines (6-4) prepare for their Virginia AAA Division 6 first-round matchup at third-seeded Centreville (7-3) on Friday, Davis had his team absorb this message in a more literal sense.
"We cleaned out the locker room and made it look like it did in the preseason when the lockers were empty and the nameplates were just being put on," Davis said. "I told them that we could be going home now, but we're starting a new season and we've got to start it right."
To do so, the Wolverines must shake off two consecutive losses and rediscover the formula that helped them beat the Wildcats, 27-20, in the second game of the season. Back in the fold will be Demornay Pierson-el, who has been cleared to play after missing the last game-and-a-half with a leg injury. The junior tailback gave Centreville trouble in the teams' first meeting, rushing for 239 yards and two scores to help the Wolverines rally for the win.
"People try to say that we're a one-man show even though we're not, but our one man does a lot so we try to get him the ball when possible," Davis said of Pierson-El, who has scored 25 total touchdowns this season. "But the last couple weeks have been good for our guys to see that they can play without him and it was good for [Demornay] in becoming a better teammate."
Centreville will look to match this firepower with its own playmaking tailback in A.J. Turner. The sophomore racked up a career-high 264 yards and four touchdowns on just 16 carries in last week's win against Oakton, giving the Wildcats some much-needed momentum entering the postseason.
Chantilly Coach Mike Lalli has encountered a lot in eight seasons but Friday's first-round playoff game against Robinson will bring a first for him – playing the same team in consecutive weeks.
After beating Robinson, 41-21, on the road in last week's regular-season finale, the fourth-seeded Chargers (7-3) drew the fifth-seeded Rams (5-5) again in the Division 6 bracket with this week's contest taking place at Chantilly.
In some ways, the scenario makes life easier. Both teams have plenty of film and a fresh memory of their opponent, and in the Chargers' case, they know what it takes to win. But Lalli knows full well that last week's regular-season result means little for this week's postseason tilt.
"We know Robinson is going to make adjustments based on what they saw, so we're going to have to be prepared for a whole new type of game,"Lalli said.
In the case of Robinson tailback Joe Wilson, the junior hopes this new game brings more yards and less turnovers. Despite rushing for 194 yards and three scores, Wilson coughed up the ball twice, which eventually resulted in two Chantilly touchdowns.
"I see the rematch as a chance to improve because after those fumbles, it kind of got me out of my rhythm," said Wilson, who was named Concorde District Offensive Player of the Year after rushing for 2,125 yards and 31 touchdowns. "Coach [Trey Taylor] has been telling us all season to learn from our mistakes and make plays, so here's our chance when it really counts."
Since playing its first varsity football game in 2005, Battlefield has gone 67-26. Not counting a loss to 2011 Virginia AAA semifinal opponent Oscar Smith, there is only one program that has beaten the Bobcats without losing at least once to them.
That team is Woodbridge (6-4), Battlefield's home opponent Friday in the first round of the Virginia AAA Northwest Region Division 6 playoffs.
The Vikings are 3-0 against Battlefield, having caught them during their first two seasons when the Bobcats went a combined 6-14 and then edging them 20-17 in the Virginia AAA Northwest Region Division 6 semifinals in 2007.
The current Battlefield players had nothing to do with any of those games. But they will be made aware of them, Coach Mark Cox said.
The Bobcats (7-3) have needed no special incentives in winning the past three region titles. Four-year starting lineman Brandon Dukeman and other four-year varsity players have the chance to graduate knowing nothing but region titles and state playoff appearances.
Battlefield has lost its greatest number of regular season games since 2006, but they have been to Hylton (8-2) by 10, Stonewall Jackson (9-1) by four and North Stafford (9-1) by seven in overtime.
"Once we get to the playoffs, we always have expectations," Cox said. "Our goal is to be practicing on Thanksgiving, which is [before] the regional championship game. That never changes. It's always something we're striving for."
Senior Nick Newman leads the Bobcats in catches (39 for 865 yards and nine touchdowns) and tackles (74) and also has four sacks and two interceptions. He has taken on a greater role in the passing game since senior receiver Trent Saflin tore an ACL against Stonewall. Senior defensive end Jack Taylor has 10 sacks and at right tackle has enabled the Bobcats to feel confident running in either direction.
Woodbridge reached the playoffs by handing Stonewall its first loss last week.
Woodgrove entered its Sept. 28 matchup with Loudoun County riding a five-game winning streak and averaging more than 50 points per game.
But the Raiders dealt the Wolverines a heavy dose of reality in the form of a 48-7 romp that forced the third-year program to regroup.
The two schools face off once more in the AA Region II Division 4 quarterfinals Friday night in Leesburg where the Wolverines (7-3) will find out how far they have come in the last six weeks.
"That was our first real test, and mentally, I don't think we were fully prepared for it," Woodgrove senior safety Atem Ntangtang said. "At the time, we might have thought a little too highly of ourselves. But we're ready now."
Loudoun County (8-2) carved up Woodgrove's secondary with its spread attack as senior quarterback Jake Lokey completed 12 of 19 passes for 235 yards and five touchdowns. Senior wide receiver and all-Dulles District selection Brad Szoka was on the receiving end of three of those touchdowns, and that connection is one the Woodgrove secondary must contain.
"The connection between Brad Szoka and Jake Lokey is a pretty special one," Ntangtang said. "We've got to give them different looks to give us some time to react and get to the receivers."
Offensively, the Wolverines will be without starting quarterback Tucker Coil, who broke his leg in last week's win against Loudoun Valley. Junior Will Koester will start in his place and could provide Woodgrove's run-heavy offense with a bit more balance through the air.
But for the Wolverines to emerge with a win in their inaugural playoff appearance, they need another big night from district offensive player of the year Josh Sweet (1,709 yards, 25 touchdowns).
"It's special to be a part of this," said Ntangtang, who was the starting running back when Woodgrove opened in 2010. "Hopefully we can get a win and keep it going."
Three of the four contests in Division 4 are regular season rematches, including second-seeded Tuscarora against No. 7 seed Millbrook.
The Huskies (9-1) rolled over the Pioneers, 41-21, in their season opener behind a season-high 274 rushing yards yards and three touchdowns from sophomore running back Noah Reimers. But in its second trip to the postseason, Tuscarora understands the need for balance.
Over the last two weeks, Tuscarora Coach Mike Burnett has called more passing plays and junior quarterback Nick Azzarita has delivered his most productive games of the season. With Millbrook (6-4) stacking the box to limit Reimers, Azzarita will need to step up for the Huskies to advance to a second straight region semifinal.
In the other two Division 4 quarterfinals, two-time defending state champion and top-seeded Briar Woods (10-0) hosts Powhatan (5-5) and Liberty (6-4) travels to Sherando (6-4) for another rematch of a regular season game won by the Warriors.
In Division 3, Loudoun Valley is back in the playoffs after a one-year hiatus and for the first time since they returned to AA. The seventh-seeded Vikings(4-6), who lost three of four to end the regular season, travel to No. 1 Skyline (9-1).
Four Manassas Park ball carriers have posted at least one 100-yard game this season, but the Cougars (7-3) do not have a grind-it-out offense. They have a big-play running game that will be on display Friday in a Virginia A Eastern Section Division 2 first-round home game against Nandua (8-2).
Manassas Park amassed 490 rushing yards last week in a 54-13 win over George Mason. Senior Chuck Moorman scored on all three of his carries, plays that covered 145 yards.
"We try to get our running backs in space and we've been able to break some," Manassas Park Coach Joe McElfish said. "Usually, two or three or five or six plays and somebody breaks off one."
Senior quarterback Ryan Kolb is the team's leading rusher, followed by junior Nick Johnson, Moorman and senior Nick Coates. The Cougars are running behind an entirely new line; all five starters were seniors last year. Three sophomores and two juniors start on the line now, including junior Isaiah Browne, a two-way standout.
There are 16 teams in the Eastern Section playoffs.

Hi, i'm a beginner from flash development. I found that a blank area in a layer will also trigger a touch event. Then i have a problem. There are two layers: layer_bottom and layer_top, the latter is on the top of the former. The visual elements in the layer_top just cover one part of the screen, layer_bottom is full filled. When i click the screen where the layer_top doesn't cover, the layer_bottom should receive the touch event, layer_bottom not, while click the screen where the layer_top covers, the layer_bottom should not receive the touch event, only the layer_top receives.It is default in flash, what should i do in cocos2dx in a simple way?Thanks everyone!

ABRA, Lebanon, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- A Salafist sheik warned he would remove Hezbollah members at southern Lebanon apartments from which he said his movements were being monitored.
Sheik Ahmad Assir, speaking during Friday prayers at a mosque in Abra, east of Sidon, told 1,000 worshippers that armed members of Hezbollah in at least two nearby apartments were keeping him under surveillance.
Assir, himself armed, threatened to empty the apartments "even if we have to do it by force," The (Beirut) Daily Star reported.
Reports that Assir would storm the apartments led Lebanese army troops and riot police to surround the buildings.
Assir said thousands of people from around Lebanon were willing to help him drive out the Hezbollah members if authorities did not act.

AN UNSTOPPABLE Israel Folau starred as a rampant Waratahs ended their three-year overseas drought with a 72-10 crushing of the Kings in Port Elizabeth.
Fullback Folau triggered the 11-tries-to-one Super Rugby romp with two magical pieces of play in the first six minutes of the match.
He beat four defenders in a counter attack from his own half in the first 40 seconds to set up the first of three tries for winger Cameron Crawford.
The electric fullback and man-of-the-match burnt off three attempted tacklers and carried two more defenders over the line for his sixth try of the season. Folau continued to terrorise the shellshocked Kings and played a part in several other tries.
While rumours are circulating he may return to rugby league next year, Folau hinted his union stint may go beyond one season.
"I'm really enjoying my rugby at the moment and I'd like to stay long term and give it a good crack so we'll see how we go," Folau said.
He was far from the only Waratah to shine as NSW notched their first overseas victory in 13 matches going back to May 2010 and ended an eight-match losing steak in South Africa where they last won in May 2009.
The platform was laid by a totally dominant Waratahs pack.
The powerful NSW scrum was untroubled and ubiquitous flankers Dave Dennis and Michael Hooper were each rewarded for their industry with a try, with lock Kane Douglas the other forward to tally a five-pointer.
The starting back three combined for six tries, with winger Peter Betham notching two and reserve backs Ben Volavola and Tom Kingston both crossing in the final ten minutes.
With a plethora of clean quickly delivered possession to work with, five-eighth Bernard Foley set up several tries with his passing and running.
The Waratahs had their tryscoring bonus point locked away inside 20 minutes.
They crossed the Kings line seven times in the first half, which ended with them leading 46-10 despite conceding an intercept try to winger Sergeal Petersen.
NSW piled on four more tries and 26 unanswered points in the second half.
"It's probably the performance we were looking for the whole year," said NSW captain Dennis.
"We've played well in patches throughout the year but that was probably the most complete performance we've had."
Bulls down Hurricanes 48-14
TWO intercept tries in the first half sent the Bulls to a 48-14 win over the Hurricanes in Super Rugby, putting the three-time champions back on top of the South African conference.
Centre JJ Engelbrecht and winger Akona Ndungane capitalised on adventurous passes by New Zealand's Hurricanes for two of three first-half tries for the Bulls, who then powered past a brief fightback in the second.
The Wellington-based Hurricanes came back from 27-0 down at the break to 34-14 with two tries by scrumhalf TJ Perenara.
It wasn't enough to worry the fast-starting Bulls, who returned to the top three in the overall standings with a six-try victory at Loftus Versfeld as forwards Deon Stegmann and Dean Greyling and replacements Lionel Mapoe and Louis Fouche also crossed.

Hurricane Sandy could have a huge effect on Saturday's Georgia-Florida football game.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that while forecasters say the hurricane will not make landfall along the Florida and Georgia coast, sustained winds of 25 to 30 mph are possible in the Jacksonville, Fla., area Friday and Saturday, with gusts up to 45 mph.
There's also a 30 percent chance of rain in Jacksonville on Saturday. The wind and rain could have a major effect on the passing and kicking games as the No. 3 Gators (7-0, 6-0) take on the No. 12 Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1) in the annual Southeastern Conference showdown.
The National Weather Service early Thursday issued a tropical storm watch for Florida's Atlantic coast, including the Jacksonville area. A tropical storm warning was posted for the offshore areas along Florida's east coast.

Stranded Whale Rescued! - Hoorraaaay!
The sperm whale that's stranded at the Tanjungpakis beach, north of Karawang, West Java, Indonesia, finally rescued and released to the ocean on Saturday 28 July 2012 at around 3pm Western Indonesia Time (8am GMT).
After having stranded on the beach for 4 nights, the infant sperm whale (estimated 4 years old) finally can be returned to the ocean by a joint rescue effort conducted by volunteers and government institutions. The rescue was coordinated by the Jakarta Animal Aid Network (JAAN). Joining the team were volunteers from SAR Sagara, Scuba Divers Indonesia, Divemag, Global Dive, Liquid Dive, Banyu Biru Explorers (us), Kopassus (Indonesian army elite force), Pelindo (harbor authority), KPLP (coast guard), and few other volunteers and institutions from various organizational background.
I was involved in the rescue effort and for me, it was really an amazing and touching experience. I will never forget that close encounter with the whale, the moment when I put my hands on the body and rubbing it with care and compassion. I even got the experience of being gently slapped by the tail fin when placing the rescue strap over the whale's tail :) (gentle for the whale but seriously hard for me hahaha...).
This is for now, complete story and photographs to follow.

WINNIPEG A former CFB Shilo soldier has been acquitted of manslaughter for a training exercise accident in Afghanistan that killed a fellow soldier.
A five-soldier jury panel convicted former warrant officer Paul Ravensdale of four lesser offences, including two counts of breaching his duty and one count each of unlawfully causing bodily harm and negligent performance of a duty.
The jury reached its verdict after two days of deliberations and two weeks of testimony at Shilo.
Cpl. Joshua Baker, 24, was killed and four other soldiers were injured during a live fire training exercise near Kandahar in February 2010.
Court was told Ravensdale was supervising a training exercise involving the detonation of Claymore mines and did not take the necessary precautions to ensure soldiers were out of harm's way.
