PORT ELIZABETH -- It was the chance to kick the hated Brazilians while they were down, an opportunity to get a stinging shot in at his despised South American cousins.
Yet, shockingly, Diego Maradona chose not to do it.
Such is the enormity of Saturday's huge quarterfinal matchup between Maradona's Argentines and the young Germans at Green Point Stadium, with a date in the semis hanging in the balance.
With Brazil having been stunned 2-1 by the Netherlands on Friday, most expected Maradona to enjoy a sarcastic feast at the expense of his South American cousins. After all, he has taken shots at both Pele and the Brazilians earlier in the tournament, telling Pele he should go back "to the museum" and claiming Brazil had not played all that well.
But when asked about the fate of the Brazilians during his press conference Friday, the normally outspoken Maradona toned down his comments.
"That is Brazil's problem," the Argentine manager said. "I am in another business. I have other things on my mind at the moment. The game against Germany is all I am thinking about.
"We are not candidates (to win). We are not the favourites. But to beat us, our opponents are going to have to play very well and leave everything on the pitch -- including their skin.
"We know our opponents have always played well against Argentina, but if we keep the ball, they will have to run for a long time without even touching it. As I have said before, I respect all our opponents, but I don't fear anyone."
Of course, that didn't preclude the Argentines from playing mind games.
Instead of working out at Cape Town's Green Point Stadium as was the original plan, the Argentines held a closed practice at their base in Pretoria.
How do we know they actually took to the pitch if no media were allowed inside? The Argentines figured that question would be asked, so they reportedly supplied one single photo of the players running around.
As well, Lionel Messi, the world's best player, didn't practise because of a mild cold, we are told. If that indeed is the case, don't expect a bout of the sniffles to keep the world's top player out of the game
Meanwhile, Maradona has cranked up his pep talks, telling his players that the entire country is counting on them to win.
"The Argentinian people depend on this team to be able to get up in the morning with a smile on their faces when bad things are happening," Maradona said.
If the Germany-Argentina game on the field is anything like the chatter off it the past week, it should be a classic.

I am new to this site. This is my 2nd post. I expressed in my original post that my dad is suffering from alot of pain. He has stage 4 colorectal cancer that has metastisized to the liver. He has tons of pain in his belly area. He is on fentynal patch and oxycotin every 3-4 hours and still has alot of discomfort. I have heard alot about medical marjiuana but I cant find anything specific online that I can give my dad to read. He is fearful of the "pot" but I thought if I could find somemore specifics he might consider trying it. I also saw on a tv special that smoking it seems to work better than the pill. It seems like this is a taboo topic but I am trying to find something to help my dad somehow. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? Does it help at all with the pain or just appetite? I would greatly appreciate any advice. I am trying to get him to join the site but he just has little desire right now. He will read the posts I print out for him. He spends much of his time laying in bed. He is not able to go out or anything except for chemo because of this pain and the "blahs". I just want to find something that will give him a chance to have alittle of his life back. Thanks in advance and I will pray for all of you!
Feb 19, 2011 - 11:32 pm
My mom was just talking about this today. So I will be doing some research for her. I know that there is something called a vaporizer that can be used so you don't have to smoke it.
If I find out anything I will post.
Feb 20, 2011 - 12:09 am
I forgot about the vaporizer, yes, it is supposed to be highly recommended for ease in smoking (it takes away the urge to cough)however, again my chemo class recommended against it as they did the smoking of it.
Feb 19, 2011 - 11:55 pm
Hi. As for the medical mary jane ;) it helps with both pain and appetite. There are actually different plants that are grown specifically for different effects. As for smoking vs pills. It does appear that smoking works best however, I have been informed that the vaporizer works even better than direct inhalation of the smoke as it doesn't have as many bad inhalation effects. There are also teas, and foods prepared with it so that might make it more appealing for some. If you look up a medical dispensary online you could probably find out more about what is offered in regard to types of mj and different products available. Also, there are different strains that produce different "highs", some of which will be more of a mellow, lay around high while others will have more of an uplifting effect. You want to take this into account if you want to help him with pain and getting up and around more. Most strains are now a combination of sativa and indica plants. It's usally agreed that Indica strains have more of a "downer" high while Sativa has more of an "upper" high. You would want to find a product that contained a higher percentage of Sativa than Indica in it. So knowing the percentages of which strain is important if you want to get him up and around.
Hope that helps some.
Feb 20, 2011 - 4:27 pm
Good post.Lots of good info. Thanks
Feb 22, 2011 - 10:08 pm
Some medical experts say that it helps in conjunction with prescibed pain meds by enhancing the meds. Similar to the way adding antivan (and anti-anxiety meds) compliments pain meds and appear to help manage pain.
Feb 19, 2011 - 11:54 pm
That would be the first place to start. Usually requires a consult with an MD who would make recommendations on plant type and delivery system.
Feb 20, 2011 - 12:00 am
nothing to add to the pot discussion- hope that you can find information that will at least encourage your dad to experiment with it!
I just want to support working with his oncologist for better pain management. Different pain meds, different combinations, some for break through, etc. He needs to get on top of the pain and stay there. Also when he is feeling OK- maybe not 100%, but better, even if just a little- make sure he uses that time to take a shower, brush his teeth, sit in a chair for awhile- little steps will help.
Feb 20, 2011 - 12:06 am
First I don't know what state you live in, whether it's legal or not in your particular area. But in California, it's legal. We have stores we can go into and buy brownies, cookies or my particular favorite truffles. They help immensely with any nausea and also with the appetite. At our cancer class that we have to attend here before getting chemo, they advised NOT to smoke it, as possible lung cancer problem. My brother used to take the THC pills, and yes, he agrees they are not as good as the real thing.
Feb 20, 2011 - 12:17 am
about a half of a pickup truck load to figure out I really didn't care for it to much....It did however make me eat anything that didn't run away...Im not sure if it help me with any pain cause I never felt any pain while I was smoking it..but, in retrospect,.I guess it did help now thinking back...LOL...Good Luck in finding the right answers ......If its legal I don't see what it could hurt..all he could do is decide that he doesn't like it or it doesn't help...Here's to hoping you find relief for him...Love to you and yours ....buzz
Feb 20, 2011 - 12:20 pm
which gives state by state regulations(all 15 plus DC)as well as info on med uses of pot, for and against....
Feb 20, 2011 - 1:51 pm
I'll speak up here, as it is something I know a bit about. I find mj helpful for stress, depression, anxiety, nausea, appetite and bowel movement aid as well as a mood elevater. I have not found it helpful for pain. There are indeed different strains of the plant that act with subtle differences, so some lean more body centric and some more mental in their effects.
A vaporizer heats the mj without burning it, so there is no smoke to inhale, just vapors. Thus, less likelihood of coughing and better over-all for the lungs. I haven't tried the foods but have heard the THC in mj affects the body differently/better when consumed in foods.
My Dr says he has seen no studies that prove mj to be inhibiting or problematic for chemo treatment itself and has no problem with its use.
Feb 20, 2011 - 4:06 pm
It sure saved me from the times I felt soooo sick when no pills would work. I hate taking pills anyways!! I say YES to Medical marjiuana IT HELPED TO SAVE MY LIFE!!

good 'ol MJ has helped Robert with his nausea, appetite and overall general feeling of chittiness after chemo and surgeries. Better than the Rxs dr gave him. Don't really think it helped much for pain, though.
Feb 20, 2011 - 10:10 pm
Its taking way to long for the rest of the states to legalize it for medical use! Even though you can get some faster than a hamburger I would use it legally. The immediate benefit to a cancer patient is ignored by so many law-makers.
Feb 22, 2011 - 9:34 pm
as per item just posted at physorg.com under its cancer heading
Feb 24, 2011 - 2:16 am
Feb 23, 2011 - 1:31 pm
Hello! I just got my recommendation three weeks ago from a doctor other than my onc. I don't know why my doctors are afraid of recommending it, especially to cancer patients, but there is still a taboo against it since federally, it's illegal.
Over the past three weeks, a friend and i have been researching and experimenting with the various strains and how they work. I have found that some really do help the pain, and others help with relaxation, and as someone mentioned above, bowel function. The latter was a major help to me. I'm also sleeping better than i have in my life.
This is what i've figured out from the different strains: the sativa strains tend to make you hungry, and more active. There are indica strains that i haven't tried yet, cuz i'm really liking the hybrid strains the best. They are a combination of the sativas and indica strains. They seem to give the best of both worlds. I prefer to smoke it through a bubbler for filtration, and it makes the smoke less harsh than smoking through a pipe. Usually only one hit works, but again, it depends on the strain. As far as pain goes...if you get stoned enough, you're not going to be feeling much of anything. The good thing about smoking it, too, is you can't OD on it. With the edibles, you can.
If you're in California, getting a recommendation for your dad will be easy, but he will have to go see the doctor. If he can get his own doctor to write him one, that would be good. The cost is anywhere from $40 to $100 to get the recommendation depending on where you go, and the marijuana itself is roughly $10-$25 per gram. A gram is anywhere from a bud to three buds depending on the weight of the strain.
Good luck with it, and i hope he does decide to go for it. I think it will help him.
Feb 24, 2011 - 12:48 am
Krista... when you say the cost is anywhere from $40 - $100 to get the "recommendation", do you mean to get a prescription from a doctor? That seems not fair... that means doctors are making money off writing a prescription? Or am I misunderstanding what a recommendation is?
Up here, you need a doctor's signature to get your Compassionate Care Club member card... and once you have that, then you can shop at any of the Compassionate Club stores for medicinal marijuana or products, as many times as you want. Of course, most people don't even bother to do that because our laws are much more lax when it comes to having small amounts for personal use (medicinal or otherwise). But I think that would be totally wrong if a doctor was basically selling his signature so a patient could get a product to ease their suffering. Or is that how it works in California... that a doctor will charge $40 - $100 for his/her signature for any prescription?
Feb 24, 2011 - 12:55 am
Here, your main doctors (due to it being AGAINST FEDERAL LAW) are still wary about writing prescriptions, so you have to go to a doctor who's just into making money by giving you prescriptions for medical marijuana, this costs between $40 - $100 for that Doctor to do it. They consider this the price of an office visit, which is actually a pretty cheap office visit price wise here.
Feb 24, 2011 - 1:07 am
I guess there are some things I'm still pretty darn naive about.... and this for-profit medicine floors me every time. I know some of our politicians want to go that way because there's more money to be made in it... but I count our lucky stars the Canada Health Act still protects our rights to affordable health care (which includes services such as writing prescriptions which are included in the office visit... which is covered by health care insurance) . I know we have totally different systems and that's fine. It's just every now and then I'm thrown off guard when something like this comes up.
Ok... will hopefully remember and understand for future reference :) :)
Feb 24, 2011 - 1:47 am
While in states where legal you probably have to pay to be certified as qualified to get the script for mj, in most states you also have to Register. That cost can range from $0 to $150 depending on the state. The state gets that money.
Feb 24, 2011 - 1:59 am
Here, you don't have to get the medical state card (given by each county) as long as you have the certificate from the original doctor, most here do not get the state card as it costs the extra money I think it's around $125 or $150 here. So not only do you have to pay to get the doctor's "paper" but then you have to pay the state, so most do not do the additional state certification. I know I haven't. I think they are actually thinking of stopping the state certification because so many don't get it. Shoot, I have to renew mine this coming March, their only good for a year, going to have to watch my pennies.
Feb 24, 2011 - 1:16 am
It is an office visit where you walk out with a "prescription" for an illegal substance.
Given the almost poverty wages for a GP in California it is hard to blame them, and they do provide a needed service.
To see how screwed up our legal system can be, watch "A/k/a Tommy Chong" funny and sad at the same time.

This is the best brand of Shapewear for plus sized women. They have a great range that really flatters fuller figures. The styles have extra firmness that really holds your body but of course, comfortably. If you have very well defined curves that you want to tone down, Elomi is your best bet.
Shapewear Review: Maidenform
If you want sexy, Maidenform gives it to you in style. I love how their Shapewear look so much like sexy lingerie. You can strip down in front of your partner after a long day at work and you wouldn't be embarrassed to show that you're wearing Shapewear underneath your clothes. They have a wide range of Shapewear styles that even come with pretty designs. Maidenform also delivers on its promise to shape you up in comfort. It stays in place and you don't have to worry one bit for anything to show if you're hiding it.
Shapewear Review: Fit Britches
What's great about Fit Britches Shapewear is that they are designed for everyday use and thus are really very comfortable. The brand was launched by Farnaz Khan who was looking for a solution to losing excess pounds she had put on after giving birth. The idea behind the product was to make it fast and easy to lose weight and reduce cellulite. Here's a nice little image explaining the benefits of their shapewear!
A few months ago, I came across them in a national newspaper and knew that I would need to try out one of their products. So I went on their website 3 weeks ago, and was decided to order a skinny top which is on sale for £49.99. A good mid-range price, not cheap by any means but definitely affordable and well-priced for what you are getting.
First impressions, wow! It looked great. The next part was tough – I struggled to put it on initially, but where there is a will there is a way! Honestly, after I managed to get it on I must admit it was very very comfortable. In fact, too comfortable if anything! I was a little surprised about how good it felt on because of past experience with other products. It's definitely improved my shape, no doubt – though it's a little early to say exactly how much weight I have lost (I have lost something for sure).
I'd recommend Fit Britches highly. Keep an eye out for my next review coming soon
Shapewear Review: Spanx
I absolutely adore Spanx. They have so many types of Shapewear and every single piece I own fits comfortable. They are long lasting and durable too. It's the brand of my first ever and I have to be honest, I did have quite a bit of a struggle getting them on the first time. I wanted to wear it to a friend's wedding in the hope of looking great and well, you know how weddings are. Luckily, I was able to put it on just in time and hoped with all my might that I did not have to go to the loo the whole time I was wearing it. Thankfully, after trying hard to avoid and finally just saying what the heck, I found myself easily slipping it off and back on. Spanx are also easy to manage because they don't require too complicated washing instructions. I also bought some Spanx for everyday use and I must say; they still look brand new after a couple hundred wears and washes.
I recommend this brand to anyone without second thoughts. If you think about it, they're not even too expensive. Spanx is very well worth my quid if you ask.
Plus Size Shapewear Tips and Tricks
If you have a lot of curves and you want to hide some and flaunt some, Shapewear is a good choice of undergarment to help you achieve that look you're aiming for. Shapewear is also great for plus sized women, not only those who are slim. It will help you get into that nice little black dress you've been keeping in your closet. Here's my advice to women on the plus size side:
Find the right size
Just because you're bigger doesn't mean you have to desperately go for a smaller size to hide more of those problem areas. Believe me, it would not do you any good. You will just feel miserable and uncomfortable, which beats the purpose of wearing Shapewear if you ask me. The right size will flatter your body no matter what and the best thing is that you will feel great and confident with a much more shapely silhouette. If you try too hard, you won't look good. If you pick the right size, it will do wonders to your body.
Don't settle
You might get frustrated if you can't find the right size especially because most shops would hold Shapewear for the less curvy ones. What you can do is to keep shopping around. Ask them to take your measurements and they might even be able to customize one for you. Your goal is to find the right Shapewear to flatter what you've got. Don't ever settle for something just because you think there's nothing else out there.
Know what part you want to control
Your target body part is one great consideration when choosing Shapewear. Because there are many different kinds, it's best to buy one that you can use on a specific body part. If you have love handles and muffin top, you can go for an upper body Shapewear so you can leave your behind as it is and flaunt it the way you should.
The best way to look good is to feel comfortable in your own skin. Love every part of your body and be proud of what you've got. Shapewear is designed to help you look good but if you don't feel good about yourself, no kind of Shapewear can do the trick. Plus sized women are often faced with the dilemma of being judged of trying too hard on being sexy. The truth is, you are sexy no matter what. You don't have to hide anything because you're big. Anybody with any kind of body shape has something to hide one way or another. Even skinny girls have muffin tops and cellulites. Being heavier does not mean you'd have to settle for less flattering clothes. Shapewear can help you look great in that evening gown you will wear for a gala. It can help you look sleeker in your business suit. It can give you a boost in confidence so that you can step out in style every single time you walk out your door.
Before I get into any reviews, I just want to say that these reviews are unbiased. I am not paid to write them and this blog is not sponsored as well. It's as real as it gets here.
How Shapewear Benefits You
For over a hundred years, women have been wearing Shapewear that come in different forms. Nowadays, there's a kind of Shapewear that targets specific body parts so that women can look better and become more confident. For those who are new to the idea of Shapewear, there are actually a lot of benefits to it than meet the eye. You might be thinking that it's just added discomfort but after you get to know Shapewear better, you'll know that you don't have to be uncomfortable wearing them.
Benefit 1: Instant Shape
Shapewear can help you look like you've suddenly lost some inches here and there. Aside from having slimmer looking body parts, it also smoothens out the areas you're covering so you don't have to show bra lines, panty lines and other unsightly lines. Even when you're among the fittest, there might be certain pieces of clothing that will make you unflatteringly bigger than you actually are, hence, the need for Shapewear. The fact is, there's even a type of Shapewear that makes the arms look more toned.
Benefit 2: Better Fit
Clothes will look better if you have smoothened out problem areas and accentuated the right parts. Whatever body type you have, Shapewear can help you look good. If you have invested on a designer dress, you should not hesitate to invest on a great piece of Shapewear that can help you look even more stunning in that dress. Sometimes, clothes simply can't be enough to bring out the best in our assets.
Benefit 3: Better Posture
Shapewear can actually help you get a better posture because it holds your body comfortably in some normal way. As you look thinner in upper body Shapewear, it can pull your shoulders to a better position.
So you see, Shapewear does a bit more than just make you look good. It makes women feel more confident in themselves because just knowing that your clothes fit better and you are able to stand or sit in a smarter looking way goes a long way.
I simply have to say this again. Never buy Shapewear that is too small for your size. Aside from risking your health, it's even counterproductive because it will just bring out some bulges here and there aside from the fact that it's going to be a very uncomfortable time for you. Check out my reviews on the Shapewear I've come across with to see if there's anything that interests you.
Shapewear and Health Concerns
Whether you're donning a designer outfit or just in your everyday jeans, Shapewear can help you achieve a sleeker and sexier silhouette. And because women are becoming more and more fashion conscious nowadays, some women simply can no longer live without it. Unlike Shapewear used during the ancient times (okay, middle ages more of), the ones available now are more comfortable and body friendly. However, they are still not 100% risk free. Wearing Shapewear can still lead to some issues especially if you're not careful in choosing the right one for your body type. Some of the health risks involved are:
Difficulty breathing
This is something that's always been a problem since the invention of Shapewear. You most probably saw it in the movies where women faint because of what they are wearing. You'd think that it doesn't happen anymore but they actually still do more often than you'd believe. If your Shapewear is way too tight, your lungs will not be able to expand well to give you enough oxygen inside your body. Fainting this way is great if there's a knight in shining armor ready to catch you when you fall but if it happens so often, maybe it's time you change the super tight cami into a more relaxed Shapewear.
Blood clots
This health risk happens especially when you're wearing Shapewear for your legs too often. Since you're restricting the blood flow when wearing tight clothing, especially in the parts where there are elastic bands, you risk getting blood clots. The problem is blood clots can cause stroke so this should not be taken very lightly. It's okay to use Shapewear regularly but you have to make sure that the one you're wearing does not cut off blood from flowing well.
Squeezing your midsection too tight can cause you to get heartburns. If you've ever felt like undoing your pants buttons after a big meal, it's going to be the same feeling when you're wearing Shapewear for your abdomen that's way too tight. Pressing your internal organs too much will cause acids to go up your esophagus bringing about acid reflux. Again, the problem here is if you want to hide your flabby tummy, you're probably choosing an extra-firm Shapewear control. This is okay once in a while but you'd kill yourself slowly if you do it everyday. If you want to shape your abdomen on a regular basis, go for a comfortable fit.
Because you're looking good with Shapewear, you might forget to exercise already. This is very bad. Shapewear is designed to help us look better but it would not ever make us healthier. To avoid these health risks, always make sure you're choosing the right size and the right type and that you don't give up on exercise. Modern Shapewear are safe and comfortable but if you're not going to give consideration to your body's condition when wearing them, you're risking it. The idea behind Shapewear is to make you look better, sexier, sleeker and modest. You can achieve those results without risking your health as long as you keep in mind the dos and don'ts of Shapewear.
How to Buy the Right Shapewear
Shapewear is not only for the glamorous celebrities. They are also for normal women who want to flaunt what they've got and get a little bit of help hiding some flaws. These undergarments accentuate a woman's curves and although we are all beautiful in our own ways, they can make us even more beautiful by making us comfortable in what we are wearing and a lot more confident.
Since there are a number of Shapewear to choose from, you'd have to carefully consider the right piece for you. Here are some tips on how to buy the right Shapewear:
What is the problem?
First and foremost, you should know what problem area you want to conceal or smoothen out. There are body suits that shape up the entire body but it's not practical to wear them everyday. After all, you would not want to spend too much time getting into a body suit before going to work, right? Anyway, there are one or two types of Shapewear for every part of your body so just identify the problem area for a start.
What is your size?
For Shapewear to work the way they should, it has to be the right size. It should never be too small to make you feel uncomfortable or too big to not work at all. If you're shopping for Shapewear, it's best to bring a tape measure with you so you can measure them instead of just relying on the size chart that may be different from one store to another.
What control level do you need?
Light, medium, firm and very firm are the levels of control that are available for Shapewear. Not all women want to have very tight undergarments, especially if they don't need them anyway. Extra firm Shapewear are only great for a few hours. If you have to wear them the whole day, it's best to go one control level lower. Light ones usually just smooth out the areas covered. There's just the right amount of compression for medium control Shapewear and the firm types are usually used by plus sized women or those with very obvious curves.
Once you've answered those three questions, you're now ready to pick one from the different brands available. I suggest you go shopping instead of buying them online because you might have to try them on to make sure they fit you just right and you're getting the results you are aiming for.
Shapewear for Women
Shapewear helps us flaunt what we love and hide what we're insecure about. They are simply amazing. However, it takes some getting used to when you decide to make Shapewear part of your undergarment collection. You can't just wear anything you want. You have to get to know your Shapewear to find the best fit and the right fit. Some Shapewear may work well for you but take note that not all will do that.
There are different kinds of Shapewear and I hope to give you an idea about those kinds and type.
First of all, let's talk about the types of Shapewear that would be great for hiding your problem areas:
Waist and Thigh Shaper
This is the most common Shapewear you would find, most probably because most of us want to conceal those pesky muffin tops and bumpy lumpy thighs. The waist and thigh Shapewear will fit snuggly around your stomach to comfortably push it in and around your thighs to give it a better more toned shape. This will make you look slimmer and any woman should have at least one of these just in case it's the season for feeling bloated. It is made of spandex and nylon so expect a firm grip on your body when you're wearing it. Spanx has very good waist and thigh shaper but since this is a common type of Shapewear, you actually have tons of options out there.
Upper Body Shaper
Love handles, flabby tummy and boobs that are way too big are some of the things you'd want to hide with an upper body Shapewear. If you wear blouses for work that are form fitting, a cami will slim you down and hug you in all the right places. Don't worry though, you have tons of options so you don't have to go for something that will constrain your breathing and make you faint. We no longer live during those times when women make the waist too small by binding them to unhealthy levels.
Lower Abdomen Shaper
If your problem areas are your lower abdomen and your rear, which is most probably way too big to fit into some modest clothing, you can go for a lower abdomen shaper. This is almost the same as your regular panties but most are seamless and it can smoothen out those areas for a more flattering figure. If you want to wear leggings over it, you don't have to worry about panty lines at all. You can basically wear anything over it
Body Suit
So you want to shape up your whole body and you're probably thinking of buying different pieces for every area. Don't worry; you can simply go for a body suit. It's a bit more like a leotard but you get a firm hold on your body. It's not for everyday wear though but it's great if you have a special occasion to go to and you want to look dashingly sexy in your dress. A body suit will shape up your upper body, your waist including your lower abdomen and your behind and your inner things.
Welcome to Shapewear for Women
Hello ladies! My name is Joanna. Welcome to my blog! It's all about women's fashion and I hope to give some good advice to women like me who take every day one at a time to enjoy and have fun with what I wear. I'm probably no expert in high fashion but let's just say that I am the girl next door who actually has very real problems with what to wear everyday, how to accentuate my assets and hide my flaws and where to buy the best piece of clothing I'm looking for.
Happy reading and please share your thoughts as well! After all, we women should always help out each other when it comes to fashion.

MIAMI (AP) — In less than three months, uninsured Floridians will be able to purchase medical insurance online under a new federal health law. Making sure average citizens understand how it works will be a Herculean task accompanied by a massive marketing blitz promoting the biggest expansion of the social safety net since Medicare. Hundreds of thousands of Florida residents making less than $48,000 a year will be eligible for federal money to help purchase their own insurance through online health exchanges under the Affordable Care Act. The new marketplaces, which are open for enrollment this October, will have the feel of an online travel site where individuals and families can compare different private insurance plans.

BRITISH researcher John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka of Japan won this year's Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine on Monday for discovering that mature, specialised cells of the body can be reprogrammed into stem cells - a discovery that scientists hope to turn into new treatments.
Scientists want to harness that reprogramming to create replacement tissues for treating diseases like Parkinson's, diabetes and for studying the roots of diseases in the laboratory.
The prize committee at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute said the discovery has "revolutionised our understanding of how cells and organisms develop."
Sir John Gurdon showed in 1962 - the year Prof Yamanaka was born - that the DNA from specialised cells of frogs, like skin or intestinal cells, could be used to generate new tadpoles. That showed the DNA still had its ability to drive the formation of all cells of the body.
In 1997, the cloning of Dolly the sheep by other scientists showed that the same process Sir John discovered in frogs would work in mammals.
More than 40 years after Sir John's discovery, in 2006, Prof Yamanaka showed that a surprisingly simple recipe could turn mature cells back into primitive cells, which in turn could be prodded into different kinds of mature cells.
Basically, the primitive cells were the equivalent of embryonic stem cells, which had been embroiled in controversy because to get human embryonic cells, human embryos had to be destroyed. Prof Yamanaka's method provided a way to get such primitive cells without destroying embryos.
"The discoveries of Gurdon and Yamanaka have shown that specialised cells can turn back the developmental clock under certain circumstances," the committee said. "These discoveries have also provided new tools for scientists around the world and led to remarkable progress in many areas of medicine."
Just last week, Japanese scientists reported using Prof Yamanaka's approach to turn skin cells from mice into eggs that produced baby mice.
Sir John, 79, has served as a professor of cell biology at Cambridge University's Magdalene College and is currently at the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, which he founded. Prof Yamanaka, 50, worked at the Gladstone Institute in San Francisco and Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan. He is currently at Kyoto University and also affiliated with the Gladstone Institute. Prof Yamanaka is the first Japanese scientist to win the Nobel medicine award since 1987.
Prize committee member Juleen Zierath said Sir John and Prof Yamanaka's discoveries, which also earned them a Lasker award for basic research in 2009, could hold "immense potential," including in developing treatments for Parkinson's disease and in making cells that produce insulin. However, she added that therapeutic implications are still far away.
The idea of reprogramming cells has also been put to work in basic research on disease, through an approach sometimes called "disease in a dish."
The reprogramming allows scientists to create particular kinds of tissue they want to study, like lung tissue for studying cystic fibrosis, or brain tissue for Huntington's disease. By reprogramming cells from patients with a genetic disease, they can create new tissue with the same genetic flaws, and study it in the lab. That can give new insights into the roots of the problem.
In addition, that approach allows them to screen drugs in the lab for possible new medicines.
Goran Hansson, the secretary of the prize committee, said he had reached both winners before the announcement.
"I spoke to both laureates on the phone and they're equally happy and that they look forward to coming to Stockholm."
The medicine award was the first Nobel Prize to be announced this year. The physics award will be announced Tuesday, followed by chemistry on Wednesday, literature on Thursday and the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
The economics prize, which was not among the original awards, but was established by the Swedish central bank in 1968, will be announced on October 15. All prizes will be handed out on December 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.
Last year's medicine award to Canadian-born Ralph Steinman, American Bruce Beutler and French scientist Jules Hoffmann briefly created some confusion when it was announced that Steinman had died a few days earlier. Posthumous prizes are normally not allowed, but the award was left unchanged since the judges were not aware of Steinman's death when they selected him as a winner.

I know that it has probably already been said about a million times, but I will still say it; this remix is awesome! The song sounds very epic and love the piano pats that really break it up and keep it interesting! Great work!


text: In general I like to have my thumb on a pickup or a pickup and string if I'm playing the D or G string. Gives me a feeling of stability, and helps me to stay in the same place. Here's the thing...on my jazz I really want my thumb to be positioned about 1-2 inches to the left of the bridge pickup. Resting my thumb right on the bridge pickup feels a little far forward and I like the sound better when I'm a little more between the two pickups. There's no place to anchor my thumb 1-2 inches to the left of the bridge pickup So there are probably 20 ways to rig something up to give me a place for my thumb there...I've looked into ramps but that seems like dramatic overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish...anybody have any suggestions? Something that'll give me the "thumb on pickup" feeling without looking like crap?

In what reads like a strategic leak from Apple's (AAPL) Cupertino boardroom, the
Wall Street Journal
reports in its Saturday edition that Steve Jobs — half-way through a six-month medical leave — still "maintains [his] grip" on the company from his Palo Alto, Calif., home.
But the evidence the Journal offers doesn't go much beyond Jobs' January statement to Apple's staff that he planned "to stay involved in major strategic decisions while [he was] out."
Citing unnamed "people familiar with the matter," the Journal writes that Jobs …
- Regularly reviews products and product plans
- Was particularly involved in the user interface of iPhone OS 3.0
- Is involved in the development of future projects
As examples of future products that Jobs might be working on, the Journal mentions two: the new iPhone models expected this summer and a portable device that is "smaller than its current laptop computers but bigger than the iPhone or iPod touch."
But it's common knowledge in Silicon Valley that Apple is working on these devices, and it's not clear if the Journal's sources for this part of its story know anything about the level of Jobs' involvement in them.
The only other nugget of news in the Journal's account is buried near the bottom:
It's not surprising that the board would want to know how their CEO is doing — especially a CEO as closely identified with his company as Jobs — but direct communication with his physicians goes beyond the usual bounds of doctor-patient confidentiality. It suggests that the board of directors may have played a deeper role in Jobs' abrupt decision to take a medical leave than has hitherto been reported.
Apple has not yet returned a request for comment.
Jobs was treated for a rare form of operable pancreatic cancer in 2004 and announced afterward that the operation was a success. But concerns about his health resurfaced last June when he appeared in public looking markedly thinner. In January he said he had a hormone imbalance that was "relatively simple and straightforward" to treat, then announced 10 days later that he was taking six months off to focus on health problems that were "more complex" than he initially thought.
In the interim, COO Tim Cook has been running Apple's day-to-day operations — as he has been for some years now — and the company seems to be doing just fine. Its shares have risen 40% since Jobs announced his leave, closing before the Easter holiday at $119.57. Second quarter earnings are scheduled to be announced on April 22.

Alex Waller touched down under the posts in the final minute of extra time as Northampton claimed their first Premiership title with a 24-20 victory, adding to the European Challenge Cup they won in Cardiff last Friday.
Charlie Hodgson missed a crucial conversion in the closing stages of normal time that would have put Saracens in the driving seat heading into the final five minutes at Twickenham, and Mallinder expressed his delight at seeing his side come back to punish that error.
"To finish like that, I suppose it's fairytales," he told BBC Radio Five Live . "It's really, really nice to finish on the winning side.
"We showed similar sort of character in the semi-final against Leicester (21-20 win), down but never short of belief.
"We'll see what it means when we get back (to Northampton) tonight. Hopefully we can have a real celebration over the weekend."
Northampton were boosted by the return of Dylan Hartley after two months out with a shoulder injury, and the captain was overjoyed to end a difficult week of recovery with the title.
"I haven't slept all week and now a finish like that, I don't think I've got any hairs or fingernails left," he said. "It means everything to win it.
"We were so close last year. I'm proud to do it, not just for the town, but for all these special people here.
"I'm so proud of the squad."

Individual country notes assessing how regions and cities contribute to national growth and the well-being of society.
Why 'investing together'? Public investment is not only a major strategic responsibility for governments but also a shared one: almost two-thirds of public investment is undertaken by sub-national governments and major projects tend to involve more than one government level. In a tight fiscal landscape, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of investment, while maximising its impact on growth outcomes, is paramount. Identifying and addressing the governance bottlenecks that impede smooth co-ordination across levels of government can make a significant contribution towards reaching that end.
This report dissects the relationships different government actors form vertically, across levels of government, and also horizontally, across both sectors and jurisdictions. It helps policy makers to understand more systematically how co-ordination works and why it so often doesn't, as well as shedding light on the mechanisms countries have developed to govern these interactions. In doing so, it addresses another key requisite to organising co-ordination, namely government capacity. Sub-national actors, especially, need to be equipped with the right skills and resources to carry out their responsibilities and to engage with stakeholders, across the public, private and civil society sectors. This report offers a toolkit to policy makers to assess their needs for capacity development
Almost two-thirds of public investment is undertaken by sub-national governments and major projects often involve multiple government levels. This report dissects the relationships different government actors form vertically, across levels, and horizontally, across both sectors and jurisdictions
This report examines cross-border collaboration on innovation, building on case studies of cross-border areas that include the following countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom and Ireland.
Wikiprogress online discussion on Latin America entitled "Quality Urban Life: How to make it a reality?".
The aim of this compendium is to show how the development of the tourism sector can support the local economy in primarily rural and marginal localities. There are opportunities in terms of local development which are often not fully exploited, even though they are extremely powerful.
The 9th OECD Rural Development Policy Conference in Bologna, on 23-25 October 2013, will launch the publication "Rural-Urban partnerships: an integrated approach to economic development".
This report provides a framework to understand the changing relationships between urban and rural areas. Specifically, it documents the characteristics of these partnerships and the factors that can hinder as well as enable rural-urban co-operation.
Urban and rural areas enjoy different and often complementary assets, and better integration between them is important for socio-economic performance. This report provides a framework to understand the changing relationships between urban and rural areas. It is focused on one approach that can enhance and better manage rural-urban relationships – the use of rural-urban partnerships. Specifically, it documents the characteristics of these partnerships and the factors that can hinder as well as enable rural-urban co-operation. Different governance approaches to manage rural-urban relationships are identified and discussed. Finally, recommendations are provided to help national, regional and local policy makers to build effective and sustainable rural-urban partnerships for better economic development.
Encompassing 39 municipalities in two states, Puebla-Tlaxcala is the fourth-largest metropolitan zone in Mexico. Over the past five decades, the region has successfully attracted major national and international firms, building its reputation as both a manufacturing hub specialising in auto production and one of Mexico's most important centres of higher education. Yet it also faces important challenges. Compared to other large Mexican metropolitan zones, Puebla-Tlaxcala has a disproportionate share of individuals with low skills, which could represent a bottleneck to future growth. Urban sprawl is another challenge with important economic, environmental and social consequences. Puebla-Tlaxcala's urban footprint expanded nearly eight times faster than its population over the past three decades, contributing to inadequate service provision and high levels of social marginalisation, particularly in the metropolitan periphery. To ensure that the region remains competitive and grows sustainably over the long term, this review recommends (i) improving workforce and economic development outcomes, particularly by raising the level of low-skilled workers; (ii) guiding urban growth more effectively to tackle urban sprawl and improve serve delivery; (iii) and addressing governance challenges by building capacity in the public sector and transitioning to forms of metropolitan governance.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- Chicago comedian Azhar Usman, an American Muslim, has taken his act on the road in an attempt to bash stereotypes while making audiences laugh.
Usman, along with St. Louis comedian Azeem and Preacher Moss, writer for George Lopez, Damon Wayans and "Saturday Night Live's" Darrell Hammond, headline "Allah Made Me Funny: The Official Muslim Comedy Tour," at Zanie's Comedy Club in Chicago Monday and Tuesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"A comedy show is not just a comedy show. There's a lot more going on there. In this country, it is comedians -- ethnic comedians -- who are at the forefront of, if you will, the civil rights movement because they're the ones that are pushing the envelope and pressing the issues to such a degree that eventually mainstream America begins to accept that holding these racist or stereotypical views is inappropriate, or is unacceptable, or is just absurd," Usman said.
The show, which kicked off five months ago in Washington, will head to Los Angeles after its Chicago stop.

Chadian Pres. Idriss Déby won 63% of the vote in the May 2001 presidential election, securing for himself another five-year term, but this was only after many irregular electoral practices. Opposition members of the electoral commission resigned before the results were announced, maintaining that the election had been rigged. The opposition parties continued to refuse to accept the results, but their appeal to the constitutional court failed, protest meetings were banned, and demonstrations were broken up. Such actions cost Déby support, both within the country and in the international community. He postponed the legislative elections until 2002, and the opposition feared that in the interval he would use his patronage to strengthen his party, the Patriotic Salvation Movement.
By mid-2001 the UN High Commissioner for Refugees was approaching the end of the voluntary repatriation of thousands of people who had fled Chad for Cameroon in the 1980s. More than 40,000 Chadian refugees in Cameroon did not return to their homeland, however, in part because of the deteriorating political situation in northern Chad. The Movement for Democracy and Justice in Chad (MDJT) continued fighting in the Tibesti region in the northwest, close to the Libyan border, under Youssouf Togoimi, a former defense minister. In July the MDJT claimed to have captured the strategic town of Fada and opened a new front 900 km (560 mi) northeast of the capital, N'Djamena. President Déby suspected that Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi was helping the rebels.

IES offers applicants two Ph.D. Programs in Economics, with and without a tuition fee. The main information source for applicants is this website. For further information please contact Jan Žáček.
The day of the deadline to submit your application is 30th April, 2018.
The Ph.D. Program provides excellent research training in both economic theory and applied economics. The essence of the program is economic research of your interest. Research papers accepted for publication during your Ph.D. studies are the core requirement. The program further includes numerous opportunities for research seminars, teaching and research assistantships. Moreover, students have possibilities for a variety of research visits to the best universities in the world. The Program usually takes four years to complete. Students are expected to work closely with their academic supervisors as well as other researchers.
There are two options of how to apply. You can apply online at https://is.cuni.cz/eng/studium/index.php (please, select "Economic Theory" and "Economics", not economics and econometrics) and append all the necessary documents, or you can apply online and then print out the form and send applications in paper form to: Marie Stanovská, Ph.D. Study Department, Charles University Faculty of Social Sciences, Smetanovo nábřeží 6, 110 01 Praha 1, Czech Republic (email firstname.lastname@example.com), together with all the necessary supplements (see below).
The program has two options:
· You do not pay any tuition fee (and are paid Ph.D. stipend, see below) for Czech-speaking students. You need to choose the Czech language as a study language.
· You pay the tuition fee (the tuition fee is € 250 per semester, but you can apply for a tuition waiver, also you are paid Ph.D. stipend, see below) for students who cannot speak Czech.
Applicants are encouraged to apply for one of these two full-time programs (students are admitted into a part-time program only in exceptions). The table below summarizes the basic overview of possible varieties of the PhD program at IES.

The application has to be submitted together with the following documents:
· Curriculum Vitae (structured, and with a list of academic publications and activities if available).
· Transcript of undergraduate and graduate education (a list of courses taken and grades).
· Dissertation research project in English including dissertation thesis. (As an inspiration, look at the individual study plans of our current PhD students published on their web pages or see an example here).
· In case of the Czech program, one recommendation letter sent via email by the prospective Ph.D. supervisor to the chairman of graduate studies at the Institute of Economic Studies Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University in Prague, Prof. Jan Ámos Víšek (visek(at)fsv.cuni.cz), and in a copy to the administrator of the application process, Jan Žáček (jan.zacek(at)fsv.cuni.cz). The letter should also confirm the willingness of the preferably IES-associated academic economist to be the applicant's supervisor in the case of a successful application. In case of the English program, two recommendation letters (one of them written by the prospective Ph.D. supervisor) are required.
· Any additional documents illustrating your professional experience (if available).
· Certificates of graduate education.
· Any evidence of proficiency in English for non-native speakers (if available).
· A reliable piece of evidence that the application fee was paid.
Admission process for Czech program without tuition fee
You need to pay a small application fee. The Faculty of Social Sciences charges 540 CZK for the costs of entrance exams. Applicants whose application form does not contain the documentation of a registration fee payment shall not receive an invitation to participate in the entrance exams. The fee is non-refundable, even if the applicant decides afterwards not to attend the entrance exams. The recipient is Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Smetanovo nabřeži 6, Praha 1. The bank is Komerční banka, Praha 1, the bank account 85033011/0100, variable symbol 205, constant symbol 0308.
The entrance exams are required for those applying for the Option without a tuition fee. The entrance exams will be held on 12th June, 2017 (regular term) and 26th June, 2017 (alternative term; only for exceptional cases, such as illness) at the Institute of Economic Studies, Opletalova 26, Prague 1. The entrance exams consist of two parts completed in one day:
1. the Test
The written part of the entrance exams consists of two separate tests. The applicant selects these two tests out of four available options ([1] Microeconomics, [2] Macroeconomics, [3] Econometrics and [4] Finance). Applicants have 120 minutes to complete these two tests. The recommended literature for entrance exams includes those recommended in the respective master-level courses taught at the IES: Microeconomics (http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/cs/syllab/JEM003), Macoeconomics (http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/cs/syllab/JEM004), Econometrics (http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/cs/syllab/JEM005), Finance (http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/cs/syllab/JEM034, http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/cs/syllab/JEM037, http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/cs/syllab/JEM032, http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/en/syllab/JEM035/, http://ies.fsv.cuni.cz/en/syllab/JEM036/ ).
2. the Interview
The interview with an examination committee is intended to evaluate applicants' research abilities, including an assessment of the proposed dissertation research project submitted by the applicant, and a review of the applicant's previous research. The candidate's motivation and overall maturity is considered as well. The interview serves also as an oral exam of the English language, testing the applicant's understanding of economic English. A very good knowledge of English is required for admission. The written tests account for a part of the overall result; the remaining points are allocated on the basis of the applicant's research abilities and previous research activity. During the application interview each applicant will be asked about whom she would like to have as an adviser for the doctoral studies. Therefore, it is very much recommended that applicants try to arrange a potential adviser beforehand and to obtain an informal agreement about their willingness to serve as an advisor. It is also a very good idea to engage with the potential advisor while writing up the research proposal. The advisors should normally be from IES. Please see the lists of current faculty and external lecturers for inspiration.
Admission process for English program with a tuition fee
You need to pay a small application fee. The Faculty of Social Sciences charges 540 CZK. The fee is non-refundable. There is no entrance exam as a part of the admission process. The admission committee will evaluate your research proposal and decide on the basis of obtained documents and can ask for supplying more of them if necessary. The committee will meet on 15th May, 2017.
ECOCEP/GEMCLINE research visits
All PhD students (including 2017/18 1st year's students) are eligible for receiving financial support for at least 1 month long research visit to variety of the best universities from Europe, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, Russia and Chile.
The research visit will be supported through the ECOCEP (www.ecocep.cuni.cz) and GEMCLIME (www.gemclime.cuni.cz) projects. For more information do not hesitate to contact us on phd(at)fsv.cuni.cz .
Center for Doctoral Studies
Prospective as well as current Ph.D. students can apply for positions at the Center for Doctoral Studies (CDS). The CDS has altogether six paid positions and helps to organize Ph.D. in Economics at IES. It is an opportunity for Ph.D. students to help them fund the studies. The deadline for CDS applications is usually in spring (to be detailed by April) and the interviews are held during June.

At least 945 African migrants were saved in six separate rescue operations in the Mediterranean on Tuesday, July 12, some 17 miles of the Libyan coast while four bodies were found dead below the deck of their boat.
According to Malta-based humanitarian group Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), their rescue ship recovered the bodies and 400 survivors from same boat. The bodies were found in three separate compartments of the small wooden vessel. The rescued included 150 women and 20 children, the majority being Eritrean.
"People are packed so tightly in the hold," said (MOAS) photographer Mathieu Willcocks,"you wouldn't realise if someone was simply sleeping on their friend's shoulder or unconscious."
Two other men were found in critical condition. One was given CPR by a search-and-rescue crew member and an emergency doctor on board and stabilised enough to be evacuated with an Italian Navy helicopter. The other migrant was stabilised by emergency staff and is still on the Responder.
Writing about the tragedy, (MOAS) wrote:
"The scene that unfolded for our crew on the responder in the early hours of 12th July was one of the worst possible scenarios for any search and rescue crew that operates on the frontlines of the Mediterranean crisis. At 04:30 the MOAS Responder spotted this over-crowded wooden boat at 17nm off the coast of Libya. It was 03:50am when the Responder's radar pinged, marking the first contact. Proceeding towards the echo in complete darkness, by 04:30am our crew was in sight of the boat, and instantly realised that it was heavily over-crowded, with far too many people on board for it to be safe. At 05:00am the fast rescue launch was lowered into the water and the recovery operation began. Half of the rescue was carried out in pitch black"
It was a very intense morning for all the crew on board, but they know that it could have been much worse had more time passed. One of the victims was travelling with his brother while two others had a close relative with them.
"They were just young men looking to realise their dreams, just like any of us. I am deeply saddened. My thoughts are with their close ones." said Regina Catrambone, MOAS co-founder.

The Community College Setting Actually Starts To Make More SenseBack in the early days of the show when it was revealed that a full season of Community would cover a year of classes for the study group at Greendale, fans began to ask an important question: what happens after the fourth season? Most bachelor degrees are completed in four years – and the reality is that the majority of community colleges only have two year programs. Now that the show is beginning its fifth season it is not only addressing the issue, but actually somehow making the setting more meaningful.
Building on the concept that was hatched at the end of the second season when Pierce revealed that he had been a student at Greendale for 12 years, the fifth season of the show finds the lead characters no longer just hunting degrees, but now actually taking classes to try and learn more about what they love and try to become better people (it's a bit hard to explain without being too spoilery, but you'll know exactly what I mean after you watch the first episode). Of course, changing the significance of a setting is going to affect everything that exists within it, which leads us to…

Web-Based Analytics Service focuses on rehospitalization.
Press Release Summary:
Jun 11, 2014 - Leveraging big data and offering Web-based interactive analysis tools, PointRight® Pro 30™ lets providers identify, trend, and analyze rehospitalization cases in long-term care facilities to distill quality improvement opportunities. Analytics service offers facility-level, case-mix adjusted rehospitalization rates for diagnostic sub-categories and for high-, medium-, and low-risk groups. Also, service features root-cause analysis data correlated with average length of stay by diagnosis.
Original Press Release
New Analytics Launch: PointRight® Pro 30(TM) Rehospitalization
Press release date: Jun 04, 2014
Formerly known as OnPoint 30, this new, industry-standard analytics service adds facility-level, case-mix adjusted rehospitalization rates for diagnostic sub-categories and for high, medium, and low-risk groups, capabilities previously only available as a separate product. Using one integrated analytics service, customers can now evaluate rehospitalization rates for common issues including congestive heart failure, COPD, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia and surgery.
PointRight Pro 30 gives clients access to two important rates: observed and case-mix adjusted rehospitalization rates for both Medicare and all-payer groups, and compares these with national benchmarks. The service features root-cause analysis data correlated with average length of stay (ALOS) by diagnosis. It also provides the tools that facilities need to assess why residents returned to the hospital, determine areas of highest rehospitalization as well as possible preventative measures, and crosswalk rehospitalized resident with other outcomes to improve quality of care. Using graphical data display tools, i.e., 'smart downloads,' facilities can benchmark their progress by seeing how rates trend over time and can compare their rates by month to national averages.
"Reducing rehospitalization has become one of the most important competitive factors for providers today," said Steven Littlehale, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer at PointRight. "Acute-care partners and other referral sources are demanding hard data on this quality measure, which, in turn, weighs heavily in decisions for contracts and referrals. PointRight® Pro 30™ now allows LTC operators to not only optimize their rates against common diagnoses and other factors, but also know where they stand via national benchmarks."
With penalties for excessive rates for acute-care partners reaching as high as 3% in 2014, PointRight Pro 30 allows providers to easily identify, trend and analyze rehospitalization cases to distill quality improvement opportunities, using web-based interactive analysis tools.

|if course (10:07am est wed nov 30 2005)
step 1 of the typical american knee-jerk reaction, legislate. something came up in the news, now it's going to be the subject of pointless political busywork. it's only a matter of time before you declare war. – by spook
|stupid (10:13am est wed nov 30 2005)
i agree with spook, this is a cheap political trick. congress should be doing other things like tax reform and balancing the messed-up trade defecit. – by let_liberty_ring
|agree (10:23am est wed nov 30 2005)
this is nothing but two politicians trying to make a name for themselves. they don't have a clue when it comes to games and ratings. they are just capitalizing on what is the topic of the week. – by jacunda
|what i want to know…. (10:45am est wed nov 30 2005)
is every time a new law is passed, it costs money. taxpayer money. how much is drafting and enforcing this law going to cost u.s. taxpayers? anyone that supports rediculous legislation, shouldn't complain about thier taxes since they're responsible for them. – by terminally cranky
|re:all (10:51am est wed nov 30 2005)
i agree with your sentiments.. there are more important things to take care of. responsobility for this falls on the parents not congress. as far as making names for themselves could we see a clinton-liebermann run for the white house? – by oldgoat
|easy fix (11:18am est wed nov 30 2005)
kill the childern that play violent games. oh wait, i maan congress keep your nose out of the parent's business.
re: terminally cranky, you are right. everytime a new law is inacted it costs the taxpayers more and makes the government bigger. you know makes the little guy pay. good thing dems are out there taking care of the little guy. – by bigjerm
|'fail-safe' (11:51am est wed nov 30 2005)
oh, wonderful idea… now instead of 12 year olds buying gta sa, they're just going to get mommy or daddy to buy it for them. good job joe. good job. – by grumperfish
|its like this… (11:54am est wed nov 30 2005)
both parties want your money. they just come up with different excuses to get it. – by terminally cranky
|we all know that (12:09pm est wed nov 30 2005)
kids get thier games off mininova.org …
copied cd and dvd's for thier xbox and ps … what they need is a law that would prevent people from getting to a tv :)
they may top one individual but they can't stop us all.
|how about fixing that iraq thing…. (12:29pm est wed nov 30 2005)
first before wasting time on silly video game laws. – by wow
|guns guns guns (1:04pm est wed nov 30 2005)
when will you bunch of pistol whipping retards get over your inalienable right to harm others and realise your moral and parental responsibilities in protecting your children.
upside down is what your society is. you right to have the cheapest solution to death and injury in the most cold-blooded manner possible.
wake up and accept your duties to the world at large.
then maybe the world will accept you. – by the limey
|it went like this (1:37pm est wed nov 30 2005)
bush : new guy, lower our yealy death by guns ratio … now !!
rumsfeld : i'm not new, but if we increase the number death by firearms in iraq it will lower our ratio on the world scale… i think …
bush : pure genius, new guy i dub thee brigadier general.
rumsfeld : i'm the secretary of defence sir.
bush : then i dub thee 'sun tzu'.
rumsfeld : i don't think u understand the ranking system sir. but i'm honored.
bush : now, somebody else … lower our death by firearms ratio even more.
hillary : if kids would stop fraggin each other, it would lower of death by firearms ratio, we need to prevent them from getting video games.
bush : genious, you'r all geniouses compared to me, i'm a dumb redneck mofo compare to you people.
rumsfeld : i don't think you understand that there is a difference between the real world and video games, we don't include 'frags' in the yearly casualities report.
bush : but france does.
rumsfeld : that's only to match our numbers.
|re: greg (4:02pm est wed nov 30 2005)
re: terminally
that is true..sorry about trying to start a flame war.
dem suck – by bigjerm
|lets forget the politics part of this (5:35pm est wed nov 30 2005)
i have one and only one question. why the hell do we (those who actually give a sh*t) vote these people in? – by voter-independent
|it's unconstitutional (6:27pm est wed nov 30 2005)
this legislation will never pass because it specifically targets a single aspect of the entertainment medium that is videogames, while ignoring every other.
if you're going to even consider legislation as ridiculous as this you have to address every aspect of the medium. movies, music, books, etc. these are all part of the entertainment industry. you can't go to retailers and levy fines if they sell videogames that are clearly labled for adults to minors and ignore the fact that there's no similar calling for movies, or music or books. which by the way are no where near as clearly labled as videogames have become.
where's the outrage for music album's with adult language being sold to minors? where's the outrage of minors being admitted to r rated movies? are you kidding me with this bullsh*t legislation?
the hypocrisy of it all is so obvious, it's disgusting. do you think these scumbag politicians would dare try these tactics on heavy hitters like the mpaa and riaa?
– by blah
|lol (8:26pm est wed nov 30 2005)
accronymns starting with fe and ending with a have already let citizens down once. it shouldn't happen again. – by bueller
|stupid law… (9:36pm est wed nov 30 2005)
especially b/c all the new videogame systems will have parental controls. the gov't will always be a step behind industry in the technology field. – by thegrasshopper
|violent games are bad? (5:30am est thu dec 01 2005)
america's army has a esrb rating: teen (13+) for blood, violence.
doom 3 has a esrb rating: mature for blood and gore, intense violence.
so i guess hillary clinton and joe lieberman want to train our teens to be good soldiers but not let them play violent fantasy games?
– by ddbentertainment
|whole thing is lame… (6:59am est thu dec 01 2005)
why is it you can't show nudity anywhere?
theres what? 6.5 billion people on this planet… they mostly all got here by people having s 3 x.
about 60% of them have girl parts.
40% thereabouts have boy parts.
why does everyone fly off the handle when they see nudity or sex?
even "liberals" do.
its rediculous.
republicans dont like nudity because its god's dirty parts.
democrats don't like nudity because you're exploiting the men/women in the pictures/movies and sexually harassing everyone that views it.
the whole thing is f'n rediculous. – by terminally cranky
|re: tc (7:38am est thu dec 01 2005)
i agree with you on that one. for some reason society has increased the age limit for maturity. it may be that we live longer or are striving to be a smater society, but not that long ago we were getting married and having children at 15 and that was the norm. maybe society figures that to be properly educated in the modern world ones mind must remain clear and free from the pervertions of the human body……. (enough bs for you?)
i reallt do not understand the shift in the thought process. everyone has "god's dirty parts" (i like that, by the way) and will be curious about them. as for the violence, as long as the parents explain the differences between fantasy gore and simulated real life gore, i say let teens see the fantasy stuff first so they can better prepare for the real thing… – by oldgoat
|re: oldgoat (9:03am est thu dec 01 2005)
i have a theory regarding sheltering children from violence and an influx of expirience induced mental disorders (i.e. people being screwed up for life because they saw thier dog get hit by a car when they're 15)…
but ofcourse its also my opinion that alot of these "mental disorders" that people have these days are just a result of successful attention wh0r1ng on thier part. "oh feel bad for me because my mom took bong rips infront of me when i was little! ohhhh i'm soooooooo disadvantaged because i got a d on a reading assignment in 1st grade…i must have a learning disability"
– by terminally cranky
|re: tc (10:09am est thu dec 01 2005)
i like the way you think…. – by oldgoat
|what huh what (3:19pm est thu dec 01 2005)
this country is a joke. liberals and conservatives both idiots. the government will drag your ass to war at age 18 by issuing a draft, and you cant do anything about it because its the law, you have to die at 18 for your country even if you havent had sex yet or had your first wine or beer drink. getting slaughtered or slaughtering someone else for your country is more civilized than having sex at 16 or drinking. the government every year produces hundreds of thousands of ridiculous laws for its citizens to follow. this countries rich who control the government just love to bully the hardworking american citizen to death. – by bla
|yes (3:22pm est thu dec 01 2005)
we need to overthrow this government and replace one run by common sense ppl. our government is a republic not a democratic one. we do not vote for anyone, electoral college does it. the rich and powerful control the government not the ppl. pick up arms and lets take down the scum. this land was better off before george washington and the revolution. – by bla
|hillary's just p*ssed at bill (3:33pm est fri dec 02 2005)
i know this whole thing must have started when hillary caught bill in front of the 60″ plasma screen with gta:sa "hot coffee mod" and him working the joystick. she is some piece of work…poor bill…someone should ring monica so she can give him some relief from that communist harpy.
on a side note, i'd like to have a well paid government job at fepa monitoring the game content for these kinds of 'hidden' areas of the games…125k /year should do it. – by jrdobbs

On his railcycle, Dr. Richard Smart, a 37-year-old dentist who lives in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is riding out of the 19th century.
The modified two-wheeler was called a railroad velocipede when it was invented in the early days of steam to inspect the tracks or go for help when a train broke down. Smart's modern version improves on the original: It converts into a regular bicycle off the tracks, adjusts to various widths of rail and can be ridden through switches. A net attached to the outrigger bar allows the cyclist to carry up to 40 pounds of, say, camping equipment. Onrushing trains are no problem since the 75-pound vehicle can be lifted off the track in a few seconds. In six years of railcycling Smart has never had a close call, partly because he stays off heavily traveled routes. "I feel safer on the tracks than riding my bike on the street," he says.
Inspired by an old photograph (left), Smart set out to design his own version of the velocipede in 1975. After six months of tinkering in his garage workshop, he was ready to test it. The standard bicycle wheels ride on top of the track. Attached just ahead of the front wheel are four guides that straddle the track and keep the bicycle upright. A set of metal bars on the side of the bike folds out and extends a small wheel to the opposite rail. Smart patented his railcycle in 1980.
Today he has five railcycles in working order. They have only one drawback: Every time he takes to the rails, Smart is technically trespassing on private property. Undaunted, he is trying to sell his railcycles (for $600 to $800) to owners of small railroads who could rent them to tourists for use on their lines. Until then the North Carolinaborn father of four will continue to hop aboard his railcycle after work and on weekends. In 1979 he even rode it on an 11-day vacation through the Canadian wilderness.
"The United States has thousands of miles of abandoned railroad tracks," Smart notes. "A whole system of bike paths is out there ready and waiting."
