Bag threat to Gulf wildlife
By Caroline Hawley in Amman
Environmentalists in Jordan are launching a campaign to rid the Gulf of Aqaba of plastic bags which threaten coral and fish.
The Gulf of Aqaba where Jordan, Egypt and the southern tip of Israel meet, is home to dolphins, hundreds of different species of fish and spectacular coral.
It is the humble but "deadly" plastic bag that Friends of the Earth Middle East is targeting in its latest campaign which aims to make the Gulf of Aqaba a "plastic bag free zone".
The group says plastic bags take 1,000 years to decompose on land and 450 years to decompose in sea water.
Plastic threat
"People don't dispose of them properly and then they blow in to the sea and choke the corals and fish," says the campaign's project manager, Yana Abu Taleb.
"Dolphins and sea-turtles sometimes mistake them for jellyfish and die because they suffocate trying to eat them," she adds.
Friends of the Earth is urging local residents and visitors to the southern Jordanian town of Aqaba to "say no to plastic bags" and to encourage shopkeepers to use recycled bags or non-plastic alternatives.
But plastic bags are by no means the only threat to the Gulf of Aqaba.
"The main pollutants are phosphate factories and fish farms," says Sultan Abdul Rahman, who also works for Friends of the Earth. "Divers are also causing a lot of damage."
It is a problem that affects both Israeli and Jordanian waters.
No co-operation
But Friends of the Earth Middle East - a consortium of Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanians environmentalists that grew out of the 1994 peace treaty between Israel and Jordan - says Israelis and Jordanians can no longer work together to solve it.
Co-operation has fallen victim to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Friends of the Earth's Israel branch will launch its own campaign against plastic bags in the Israeli resort of Eilat later in August.
But the group's Jordanian and Israeli members have not actually met since the Palestinian uprising broke out last September.
"Joint action isn't possible any more, because of the Al-Aqsa intifada," says Abu Taleb.
"It's been very hard to co-operate so for the time being we're implementing our activities separately," he adds.

I am in the market for a new amp or receiver and I have somewhat narrowed down my search but would like opinions from others. Currently, I am driving a pair of B&W Matrix 804's. I also have a Carver HR-752 receiver that I am looking to replace. I would like at least 100 W/ch. The units I am looking at is the Rotel RX-1052 receiver or the NAD C372 integrated amp together with the NAD C422 tuner. I realize Rotel and B&W are sister companies so they may compliment each other well and this is really how I am leaning, but the dealer does not have any of them in stock so I am unable to do a listening test on it. The NAD sounds nice and full, but I'm not sure how either combination would sound with my speakers. I defintely prefer the look of the Rotel, but appearances is not that important to me. I want the unit that is going to give me the best sound. Other suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks.
You are here
Other suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks.
Try a 50 Watt Valve amplifier.... I think you will be as delighted as I was. One listen, and I switched from 30 years of Solid State amplification.....
I am using a Prima Luna Prologue-2 with Sonus fabor Extrema speakers. The point is that the speakers are pretty in-efficient, and so would typically require 100 Watts of SS amplification, but my 50 Watt Tube amp makes Music .... loud enough.
The NAD 320BEE is $400 and is listed by The Absolute Sound as an Editor' choice; it is also listed by Stereophile as a Recommended Component. Please note that it sounds better than ANYTHING else that NAD makes at ANY price; even 10 times as much.
The last time any component from any company at such a low price acheived this was in 1980 when the NAD 3020 did it. That is still considered an all-time classic acheivement. By some strange coincedence(?), the SAME MAN designed both of them...his initials are B.E.E.!
BUY it!!!!!!!!
I prefer the Rotel sound over most of the other British, entry level stuff and have never cared for several of the well respected British brands. Of course, I've heard only a tiny fraction of gear from about half a dozen British manufacturers.
Rotel uses high quality electronics like those found in much more expensive gear, but keeps costs down by manufacturing in Asia. This isn't unique, but couple that with their fantastic torodial power supplies and slit-foil capacitors and you get the sound of components costing 2 or 3 times the price.
Rotel cheaps out on stuff that doesn't degrade the sound...or at least not by a significant amount, like 'good enough' binding posts, plastic bottom covers, simple chasis and few facilities where possible.
I think you should seriously consider hearing Rotel before purchasing NAD...or about 5 other entry level brands from the U.K. Rotel isn't the best in every area of reproduction, but they will flat knock the snot out of stuff costing a whole lot more in several crucial areas.
I am looking at is the Rotel RX-1052 receiver or the NAD C372 integrated amp...
It's been a while since you posted but I'm curious as to which device you decided on...or did you go with something else altogether. Thanks.

This is a very nice quality bronze that will appeal to a quite a different number of collectors. Quality is good, and fine details in the feathers. I would not describe him as 'cute' but he does have a certain appeal in his expression. He stands just 1 1/2" high and 1" dia. at his widest part. Great gift for collector.Austrian late 1800's

This Saturday a field of smart WA-trained fillies will face off in the Belmont Oaks 2014, betting tips for the three-year-olds' staying showdown listed below.
There are 13 in the mix for this year's edition of the $100,000 Listed Belmont Oaks (2000m) that is set to run as Belmont Park Race 6.
Join now to bet with
Of those the red hot favourite at a firming $1.65 price is Adam Durrant's flying daughter of Viscount, Tick Tick Bloom.
She's out to extend her autumn – winter winning streak to four consecutive victories after another impressive effort at the track on June 21.
There she saw her first black-type field and handled it, and the colts and geldings, without issue winning the Listed Belmont Guineas (1600m).
After settling at the back of the 15-horse field in the Guineas, Tick Tick Bloom flew home over the closing stages working her way through them to run down and defeat Midnight Shimmer by half a length.
Jockey William Pike stays on for Saturday and Tick Tick Bloom certainly looks hard to beat.
She faces a similar line-up of rivals here too as in the Guineas, including the Grant Williams-trained runner-up Midnight Shimmer who is the next best in Belmont Oaks betting at $6.50.
But are these two the ones to lock into the Belmont Oaks quinella?
And are there any longer priced hopes at juicer odds in with a chance?
#2 Tick Tick Bloom ($1.65)
She's short and firming but we really can't look past this up-and-coming staying filly who flashed home from back of the pack in the Guineas last time out. She's undefeated in her past three runs at the track, and while those were all over a mile, she looked to have plenty in the tank last start. In flying form, they say never bet against a filly while she racing this well and we're tipping her to handle the 2000m and handle these rivals with another gun Pike run.
#5 Star Of Husson ($9)
She is the longer priced of Grant Williams' two Oaks hopes but this daughter of Husson is definitely in with a shot. Drawn out a little wider in barrier nine, she's a get back type anyway having fallen in with Tick Tick Bloom in the Guineas. She didn't get the distance to finish off the way Williams would have liked there however finishing ninth, but the extra meters are going to change that here. She entered Oaks calculations back on May 14 when she won at Belmont over 2100m by a big three and a half lengths, stepping up from the mile to 2000m here puts her right in the frame again.
#1 Midnight Shimmer ($6.50)
Williams' other runner is second pick and don't think there will be much in the finish, especially in the placings where she'll could be fighting it out with the stablemate. Plenty of stakes racing in Ascot this year for the daughter of Blackfriars who finished fourth in the Group 3 WA Oaks over the mile and a half (2400m) in March. Her Guineas second was brave, but she couldn't hold off Tick Tick Bloom and the camp are likely to be nervous when she faces her again her.

One of the leading wireless carriers in the U.S.,Verizon Wireless of Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Free Report) recently announced hefty dividend returns to its stake owners. The company will payout $7 billion in dividend on Jun 25. The company's current dividend return strengthens its market value and reflects its strong growth prospects within the wireless industry.
Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon and Vodafone became the nation's largest wireless service provider followed by AT&T, Inc. (T - Free Report) and Sprint Nextel Corp. (S - Free Report) after acquiring Alltel Wireless Corp. in 2009. The dividend announcement follows speculations regarding Verzion buying out the remainder of the stakes (45%) from Vodafone Group Plc (VOD - Free Report) .
Although nothing has been confirmed by both the companies, market rumors suggested that Verzion was less likely to pay out a dividend this time. Previously, Verizon Wireless paid out $8.5 billion in dividend to its parent companies – Verizon Communications and Vodafone – in the fourth quarter of 2012. Overall, the company made a total of $18.5 billion in dividend payment last year.
The company has a strong foothold in the wireless business and continues to capture additional market share through an aggressive deployment of the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. This would lead to improved operating and capital efficiencies. The company is leading the industry in terms of 4G deployment.
As of Jan 22, 2013, it covered 476 markets and more than 273 million people (nearly 89% of the U.S. population). Verizon expects to convert the entire nationwide 3G footprint to 4G by this year end. Verizon introduced the in-home wireless broadband service "HomeFusion Broadband" based on LTE technology in some rural and remote homes, which do not have access to digital subscriber line or cables.
However, persistent erosion in access lines, uncertain returns from investments, iPhone subsidies and intense competition from cable companies and other alternative service providers are risks to the stock.
Verizon currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Spain's most famous judge has filed suit in a European court against his indictment in Madrid for allegedly overstepping his jurisdiction by probing Spanish civil war atrocities, a human rights group said Friday.
London-based Interights filed the suit Thursday on behalf of Judge Baltasar Garzon before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France.
Garzon is famous around the world for cross-border justice cases in which he went after people like Augusto Pinochet and Osama bin Laden.
But he was suspended from the National Court last year over what is arguably Spain's own biggest unresolved legal case.
He was indicted by the Supreme Court on charges he knowingly violated his jurisdiction by investigating in 2008 the execution or disappearance of more than 100,000 civilians at the hands of supporters of Gen. Francisco Franco during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War or in the early years of the Franco dictatorship.
Until Garzon acted, there had been no official probe of such atrocities, which were covered by an amnesty granted by Spain's Parliament in 1977, two years after Franco died, as the country moved toward reconciliation.
Garzon denies any wrongdoing and says his probe, which he eventually and reluctantly dropped, was legitimate.
In the suit filed with the European court, Interights reiterates Garzon's argument that these were crimes against humanity and there is now a case body of international law that says such crimes have no statute of limitations and cannot be covered by amnesty, Interights spokeswoman Sarah Harrington said from London.
The suit also argues that Garzon should not be punished just because of the way he has interpreted laws.
"Judges should not be punished for reasoned interpretation of the law. We see this as a threat to the independence of the judiciary. The potential chilling effect on other judges when they come to determine legally or politically controversial cases is obvious, and a serious threat to the rule of law," Harrington said.
No date has been set for a trial of Garzon, who has since taken up a temporary job at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The civil war case has been held up because Garzon's legal team has challenged the impartiality of most of the seven judges who would oversee his trial.
Harrington said the Strasbourg court will probably take at least a year to issue a ruling, which she said would be binding for Spain.
If Garzon were to be convicted - he would not face jail time but a maximum of 20 years' removal from his job - a decision in his favor from Strasbourg should in theory overturn the conviction, Harrington said.

Samantha Harris breast cancer: Former DWTS host to have double mastectomy
American television hostess Samantha Harris has revealed that that she will undergo surgery for a double mastectomy to treat her breast cancer later this month.
The 40-year-old former "Dancing with the Stars" host first detected a lump in her right breast while self-examining herself. Although she previously had a mammogram that detected no lumps, she was certain of a change in her breast and visited a breast cancer specialist months later.
After undergoing a needle biopsy and then a lumpectomy, Harris was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest," the former Dancing with the Stars co-host told People Magazine.
After gaining the opinions of three different specialists, she was given two treatment options to choose from. The first, a double mastectomy and the second, another lumpectomy with radiation, a treatment option less intense than a mastectomy.
"I was sick of feeling the way that I did in the days after the diagnosis," Harris said. "I knew I needed to take control."
Harris, who is a wife and mother of two, decided to educate herself to ensure she would make the best treatment option for herself and her family.
She explained that she had a tough time making a decision. Once she made up her mind and went with the double mastectomy, she said, "I felt so much calmer."
More of Samantha Harris' story will be available in the new issue of People Magazine, available this Friday.

Sand-soil mixtures are commonly used in drained turf sites such as golf greens and athletic fields to ensnre proper water retention. The objective of this study was to develop a physical model useful in developing mixture recommendations based on a few simple laboratory measurements on the components and which eliminates extensive field testing. A simple physical model which predicts the total porosity, water retention porosity, and aeration porosity of bidisperse sand-soil mixtures from the bulk or mixing volumes of each fraction and their individual total porosities was developed and laboratory tested. The porosities of each of a series of compacted sand-soil mixtures were measured and compared to those predicted by the model. Actual porosities were within 3% of predicted values. This model apparently accurately predicts the porosity and water retention of sand-soil mixtures and should prove useful in developing recommendations for using such mixtures on golf greens.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

She then handed me a fairly good-sized bulging camera bag. Inside I found 2 Nikon EM bodies, half a dozen Nikor lenses, 2 Nikon flash units and miscellaneous filters and other accoutrements.

President gives youth in North a message of hope for the future
OFTEN it takes a stranger to come among us and help us see the wood from the trees. So it was with US President Barack Obama's address to students in Belfast yesterday, as he delivered a clinical but forward-looking assessment of the North's still fragile peace.
At a time when the marching season cranks up once more ahead of July 12, it is often easy to succumb to 'a glass-half-empty' mentality. But Mr Obama's reminder to his young audience of how much things have changed helps us put things in perspective.
The youngsters in his audience at the Waterfront in Belfast rightly take for granted that daily life now is almost free from the impositions of heavy security. "These daily moments of life in a bustling city in a changing country may seem ordinary to many of you. And that's what makes it extraordinary," the President said.

Facebook Forum: Weighing in on 'millennial' police recruits
Do you think there's a law enforcement generation gap, and is it a problem?
By PoliceOne Staff
A recent P1 article on the "me generation" and its effect on the future of law enforcement sparked an interesting and, at times, heated discussion on our Facebook page. As some people voiced their complaints about a new class of police recruits who are whiny and disrespectful, others came to their defense. Tell us what you think in the comments section.
Q: Do you think there's a law enforcement generation gap, and is it a problem?
A: The millennial generation poses problems for policing
Though I'm now retired, having served more than 25 years, I still watch and some of the observations I've made are troubling. Many of today's cops ride around in what I call a "war wagon," a large suburban or similar type vehicle with tinted windows instead of the more traditional patrol vehicle. They rarely ride with the windows down nor interact independently with people in their beats. When they do get out, they are dressed more often in a semi-military fashion than in a traditional uniform. They are armed to the teeth, and are quick to let you know. And, this is the biggest thing: they seem scared to death of the very people they swore to protect. Most seem to have no idea how to talk to people, how to develop informants, etc., nor does it seem they want to. They have what I call the 9-11 attitude and it's not a good thing. I pretty much agree with the author's assessment and it does not bode well for the future of law enforcement. — Brian Wilburn
The "new" and "entitled" generation.... The majority of them want a lot of money, to do very little work. And with no respect at all. Saw it first hand, and part of the reason why I no longer work with them. All I can hope for is Karma! — Marialice Powers
This generation is full of no responsibility, no respect and no accountability. It's pathetic. — M Diggy Mac
A: I'm a millennial but I don't identify with my generation
I have to disagree to a point. There are those of us that fall in that generational definition that are nothing like our birthaged brethren. I'm from a family of LEOs and I've been one since I was of age. I cannot tolerate my fellow generation and fall in line with the older crowd. I work for what I have and where I'm at. I work 2 LEO jobs and have been promoted to front line supervisor at one. I went to college and graduated with a BS and am currently pursuing an MPA as well. Don't discount all of us. — Thomas Myers
I am part of the "me generation" and I refuse to be grouped with these idiots...when a superior asks you to do something you don't ask why, you just do it! That's how I was raised. — Eric Brooks
Sadly I belong to this generation, and being a LEO I found the article interesting and true to some degree. I agree on it's the upbringing of an individual. I grew up in a somewhat strict household with a military parent. I was taught to value self reliance, critical thinking, education, respect and honor, traits others my age do not share and it's annoying to see. Again I believe it starts at home even before a boot hits the Academy grounds. I hope this trend changes. — Terrence Huerta
As a millennial currently working in this field I must say a lot of this is true. People in my generation would rather "Save the Whales" than learn how to save a life, unless saving a life will give them a slot on MTV. Yet, another thing is true. Those few of us millennials that choose law enforcement generally will not fit the stereotypical mold that has been cast for the rest of the generation. I am completely responsible, respectful and accountable. I love my job. — Kayla Plumlee
A: We've heard this one before
Yeah. That's exactly what the 'boomers said about us X-ers. Their social characteristics are different, that's for sure. But this generation is probably the most civic-minded and best educated of all of us. The trouble is that no-one in their lives has introduced them to discipline, they don't understand the ramifications of failure, and they are very resistant to social pressure. So the typical tactics used in training to instill uniformity and teamwork may not work. But if you give them a chance, I guarantee this generation will surprise you with their ingenuity and ability to find new solutions to old problems. — Logan Moody
Didn't Plato complain about the younger generation being undisciplined? It seemed they fared just fine. — Tom Hall
I guess the real question is, when the "Baby Boomer" generation entered the age of LEO careers how did they differ from the generation before? Similarities to today I would be willing to bet. Everyone knows law enforcement is slow to change, so anything new is looked at usually unfavorably. In 20 years it will be interesting in how the "ME" generation has changed law enforcement and how they are adapting to the next generation. — Gregg Magnus
A: Give them a chance
Like it or not, the millennials are here. And they are here to stay. Like technology and tactics, law enforcement must keep up with society. We need millennials to police their generation.

Welcome to the UDVC's statewide DV trainers survey.The Utah Domestic Violence Council is conducting an ongoing statewide domestic violence training and education survey to gather a picture of how available and prevalent DV training is on a statewide basis. While the information gathered in this survey will help assess the prevalence of DV training throughout the state, its main goal is to both recognize gaps in training and education currently offered, and to address any unnecessary duplication in services. For the results of this survey to be accurate and effective we ask that you fill it out once for each time you or someone from your agency conducts a DV related training in Utah. If you conduct several trainings a month and you keep track of similar statistics through a different program, i.e. a reporting program required by funders, you do not need to fill this survey out, instead please contact email@example.com with your data. The UDVC recognizes that this survey needs to be short and easy to use for individuals to participate, therefore, if you have any suggestions please email them to email@example.com. Thank you for your participation in this survey project! Next >>

What plastic surgery can't hide: How saliva can reveal your true age
August 24, 2011
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, say that a new test can analyze spit to determine someone's true age.
While many anti-aging techniques and cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections and facelifts can make it difficult to assess age accurately, researchers say a new test will be able to pinpoint a person's age within five years.
According to HealthDay, the saliva test focuses on a process called methylation, a chemical modification of one of the four building blocks that make up DNA. Basically, it identifies the level of decay of the DNA to approximate how old you are.
While the test won't likely be used to tell whether or not a person is "faking" his or her age often, it does have practical uses.
Experts say it will be used to evaluate a patient's risk of age-related diseases.
"Doctors could predict your medical risk for a particular disease and customize treatment based on your DNA's true biological age, as opposed to how old you are," lead researcher Dr. Eric Vilain said. "By eliminating costly and unnecessary tests, we could target those patients who really need them."
The saliva test could also be used by law enforcement. DNA samples found on a cigarette butt or coffee cup at a crime scene may now be able to help authorities determine the age of potential suspect.
Therefore, the saliva test will most likely be used in the interest of staying healthy and for identification, not in determining whether a person has had any cosmetic work done.

text: Johannesburg - White women serving long prison sentences have taken 32-year-old Cézanne Visser - commonly known as Advocate Barbie - under their wing at the Pretoria Central Prison.Visser, a former advocate, was found guilty of indecent acts with three girls from children's homes and three young women. She was found guilty on 11 of the 14 charges and sentenced to seven years in prison.Several female inmates who spoke to Beeld said when Visser arrived last Monday, all the inmates were sent to their sections and locked up until after Visser had moved into her cell.These women say they were locked up because the wardens thought they would assault her because of what she had done to underage children.Nervous Barbie"Firstly, we don't like fighting at all, because we know how sad it is to end up in prison and how it feels on that first day."She (Visser) was very nervous and she couldn't stop crying. The whites who got long sentences were the first to go and introduce themselves and talk to her. They're standing by her," said one of the women who prefers to remain anonymous.Another woman said: "Women don't fight and rape each other in prison. We're one big, happy family."Even the wardens are nice to us."Johann Lemmer, Visser's stepfather, confirmed the women's stories on Sunday and said: "It's true that especially white women serving long sentences have shown Cézanne compassion."I can also confirm that she was not assaulted and that all the inmates are very good to her. Even the officials have been kind to Cézanne, but they don't single her out."The rats in the cells are the only problem, and that's the truth."Trying to be a model inmateHowever, Lemmer did not want to elaborate about the rats, and simply said Visser is new and being "closely watched"."She's trying to be a model inmate. She still cries a lot, since this is extremely difficult for her."She has accepted her fate, but her mother (Susan Visser) and I are still having a difficult time. We're looking at other legal steps to see if we can get her out of prison."It's exactly one week on Monday since Visser started serving her seven-year sentence.Meanwhile, Philip de Bruin reports that at least three books about Visser will appear in the next few months. Lemmer confirmed on Sunday that he, too, is writing a book about her.The second book is being written by Niki Pistorius, a criminologist from Pretoria, who testified during Visser's trial. The third book about Visser is written by Martie Swanepoel, a journalist at Sarie magazine.

Poll: Hayworth leads Maloney by 13 points
With less than two months until the election, Republican U.S. Rep. Nan Hayworth has a double-digit lead over Democratic challenger Sean Patrick Maloney, according to an independent poll released Tuesday morning.
In the Siena College poll of 628 likely voters in the newly created 18th Congressional District -- conducted between Sept. 12 and 16 -- Hayworth had 46 percent, Maloney had 33 percent and Larry Weissmann -- the Working Families Party candidate who is no longer in the congressional race -- had 10 percent, with 11 percent still undecided.
"Hayworth, a freshman who defeated a Democratic incumbent by five points in 2010, is seeking her first re-election and is currently in a strong position against a still largely unknown challenger," said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg.
Name recognition appeared to be a major factor in the results, Greenberg said.
"While Maloney is viewed favorably by more voters than view him unfavorably, a majority of voters, including a majority of Republicans and independents, don't know enough about him to have an opinion," Greenberg said. "A majority of voters say they have seen or heard a Hayworth commercial, while only 18 percent say the same about Maloney. She is well known throughout the district while he is largely unknown to a majority of voters."
Hayworth's campaign said the poll results indicate a backlash among voters from Maloney's "negative" campaigning.
"From the beginning, Congresswoman Hayworth has run a positive campaign focused on her excellent record of service to her community, while Sean Maloney has made the decision to run a negative campaign based on lies and distortions," spokesman Michael Knowles said in a statement. "Now we see the fruit of those efforts: since even the most recent poll, Congresswoman Hayworth's lead has increased by almost 50 percent, into the double digits, with independent voters favoring her over her opponent 2 to 1."
Meanwhile, Maloney's campaign issued a statement Tuesday morning claiming he was "within striking distance" of winning the race, suggesting that because he is likely to gain the Working Families Party's nomination in the November elections that the 10 points that went to Weissmann in the poll would ultimately go to him and close the margin to single digits.
"Just three points behind Congresswoman Hayworth, Sean Patrick Maloney's path to victory this November is as clear as Congresswoman Hayworth's Tea Party votes to end Medicare," Maloney campaign spokeswoman Evangeline George said.
A spokesman for the Working Families Party told Newsday that Wiessman is running for the state Supreme Court and that his name will not appear on the November ballot. He said the party will likely nominate Maloney for the Working Families line during its upcoming judicial convention.
Maloney, a Manhattan attorney who recently relocated to Cold Spring, is making his first run for Congress after winning a five-way primary on June 26. On the campaign trail, he focused on education and job creation. He has been critical of Hayworth's tea party support and conservative views on health care and social issues.
Hayworth, a physician, was elected in 2010, ousting two-term Democrat John Hall and helping Republicans take control of the House. Since then, she has been a vocal critic of President Barack Obama's policies, particularly on health care and social issues.
The Siena poll is the first independent snapshot of voter sentiment in the district, which was expanded under redistricting earlier this year to include thousands of new registered voters in Democratic-leaning cities such as Newburgh and Middletown.
Last month, the Democratic House Majority PAC released a partisan poll conducted in late July showing Hayworth leading among likely voters 48 percent to Maloney's 45 percent, which was within the survey's margin of error. This month, Republicans released another poll, conducted in August, showing Hayworth leading, 51 to 42 percent. Seven percent were undecided.
The pollsters said, however, that Maloney has a chance to close the gap before Election Day, but has his work cut out for him in the nationally watched race.
"Maloney has lots of catching up to do in seven weeks -- becoming better known and liked, and providing voters, particularly independents, with a reason to not support Hayworth, which they are currently inclined to do," Greenberg said. "Hayworth has a strong lead but does not hit the "magic 50 percent mark."

The catch word is Delacata.
At one point not too long ago, the catfish industry was the pride of Mississippi. Catfish was booming, and Mississippi was the No. 1 producer in the nation.
However, the state's catfish industry has been rocked back by everything from poor market prices to ravenous birds. Last year, rocketing fuel costs and a corresponding spike in feed prices only added to catfish farmers' woes. The market would not support prices that offered farmers a profit.
"If 2008 wasn't the worst year for the catfish industry, it was certainly one of the worst," said Andy Prosser, director of marketing and public relations at the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce.
Roger Barlow, president of The Catfish Institute (CFI) in Jackson, sums up the industry's situation in two words — severely challenged.
"We have farmers choosing to grow grain rather than feed it," Barlow said. He said the environment has forced operators to analyze their operations, and many are choosing to forego catfish for other commodities that hold out more potential for profit.
The industry's loss in operators is staggering.
Terry Hanson, agricultural economist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said, "Mississippi catfish acreage, which peaked in 2001 at 113,000 acres, decreased from 92,500 acres over the last half of 2007 to 80,400 acres by the end of July. There were 360 catfish operations as of July 1, 2007, and now there are 330 operations in Mississippi (as of August 2008)."
Though the industry is down, it is not out, according to Barlow. CFI and the Catfish Farmers of America (CFA) are hitting the ground running in 2009 with big plans, the biggest being a potential product name change.
For some five years now, the Institute has partnered with Viking Range in Greenwood to help boost catfish's marketability in "linen napkin" restaurants. A meeting between Barlow and Viking Range founder Fred Carl Jr. resulted in the hiring of some outside talent in Turover Strauss of Springfield, Mo., a new product development firm.
After extensive research, Turover Strauss recommended a product name change to boost catfish's appeal. The name the firm recommended is "delacata."
"Research found that consumers did not like the name 'catfish,'" Barlow said. "It just doesn't appeal to consumers."
Barlow pointed to other commodities that have implemented name changes to boost appeal such as mahi mahi, which is actually a type of dolphin.
Barlow said the new name has been tested in restaurants across the country, and results have been very positive.
The group has already trademarked delacata. Barlow could not give a definitive date for the name change to delacata, but said they are "closing in on it." Turover Strauss is in phase two of the three-phased project, and will make a report back to CFI and CFA before any decision is finalized.
There is more good news on the country of origin labeling (COOL) front. The catfish industry has pushed for labeling that would tell restaurant patrons exactly where their "catfish" came from. Some fish served in eateries is not catfish at all, nor is it U.S. farm raised.
A survey sponsored by CFI found 96.7 percent of respondents believe restaurants should be required by state law to inform consumers if they are served imported catfish. Moreover, 95 percent of survey respondents said restaurants should be made to follow the same strict federal labeling laws governing grocery stores.
Thus, the industry celebrated when H.B. 728 passed into law during the last session of the Mississippi Legislature, which requires restaurants to post COOL. Barlow praised the Legislature, Gov. Haley Barbour and CFA for their efforts to get the bill passed and signed. He said that CFI would assist in seeing similar legislation passed in other states, but added that what was really needed was a federal law covering all states.
"I know where my watch is made, where my shirt is made," Barlow said, "Why not my catfish? The industry has two things going for it — excellent farmers and extremely loyal customers. We must protect that."
Barlow said moving import inspections from the U.S. Department of Commerce to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was a great decision. However, he said the FDA, by its own admission, cannot keep pace with imports.
The drop in fuel prices has helped ease overhead, but farmers are still not breaking even. Catfish feed makes up about half of the production cost, and prices were more than $400 a ton in 2008, up from $250 a ton in 2007. Soaring input costs still present a daunting challenge.
Barlow said 2009 will be a transitional year for the industry.

Silver Creek man, woman posing as Humane Society personnel charged with trespassing
SHERIDAN — A Silver Creek man and woman accused of posing as Humane Society personnel at a property on Chapin Road last week were charged with trespassing, Fredonia-based State Police said today.

Best know for their catchy indie-pop tunes, wonderfully covers, and their lead singer Ivan Howards role in GAYNGS (with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Rhymesayers rapper P.O.S, Har Mar Superstar and members of Solid Gold)
After The Rosebuds released Life Like, their fourth album for Merge Records, in 2009, Kelly Crisp packed a few essentials and moved, alone, to Greenpoint in Brooklyn. North Carolina had been the cradle for The Rosebuds, the band Kelly and husband Ivan Howard (or Ivan and Kelly Rosebud, as you might know them) started the very week they got married. But the marriage had been failing for two albums, maybe longer, and it was time to call the relationship off. Ivan and Kelly were done, and The RosebudsMerge's buoy- ant pop-rock couple who'd youthfully named their first album The Rosebuds Make Outwere in limbo.
But Loud Planes Fly Low, The Rosebuds' fifth and most inventive album to date, is a sad-eyed and bright new start for Kelly and Ivan, beautifully born of the struggle to define their relationship as bandmatesand more importantly, friendsoutside of the context of marriage. It wasn't easy. Written and rewritten, recorded and re- recorded in fits and starts, Loud Planes Fly Low allowed Kelly and Ivan to have the very conversations about their relationship that they'd long avoided. They finally started to understand what had gone wrong. When Ivan went to record "Worthwhile," the gorgeous acoustic ballad that closes the album, in a studio isolation booth, he cried as he sang. "I sent a box of our stuff, so there's something to open up," he coos, reading the words from a Christmas letter he wrote to Kelly during her Greenpoint stay. He'd sent her a box of meaningful trinkets gathered from the recesses of drawers and depths of closets in their old home. "Girl, I want to make it all worthwhile." He's reconsidering the past through new hope for the future.
For The Rosebuds, the present is what's most remarkable: These ten tunes are not only some of The Rosebuds' riskiest and most rewarding to date, but they also reveal a band eager to push their own limits, a couple of musicians who have come to cope with their complicated story for this blessed moment of restart. The aggres- sive "Woods" is a perfect rock anthem, as good as The Rosebuds have ever been. Kelly's stabs of toy keyboard poke like exclamationmarks into Ivan's anxious entreaties. That same unease inspires "Come Visit Me," Kelly's finest-ever lead vocal performance. A plea for companionship during her time alone, the song is a tug of hearts. "Come visit me way out here / I need you to see me, even if it makes it worse," Kelly sings. "Because I would have never left you alone way out there / If I could have heard anything at all," Ivan answers from a distance, his best Percy Sledge pleas barely audible due to the fissure their problems have created.
That's not the only trace of R&B here. There's "Cover Ears," all cool and understated despite its romantic woes. "Second Bird of Paradise" sashays above pizzicato strings and vanishing keyboards, Ivan's voice conveying a sense of foreboding. "A Story" is woozy, narcotic soul, with keys that twinkle, guitars that moan and a singer who can only manage to sigh, "I want to tell you how it feels."
On Loud Planes Fly Low, Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp do exactly that, reliving the pain and the worry through lyrics written together in the back room of the house they used to call home. For Kelly, making the album felt like a funeral for their relationship, where old friends like violinist Mark Paulson and drummer Matt McCaughan stopped in to pay their respects to an old end and to help build a new beginning. For Ivan, it was an honor to have musicians he respected, like bassists Brad Cook and Wes Phillips and producer Chris Stamey, give so much time and energy to songs that were so personal. Of course they did: Proudly mature, genuinely reflective, Loud Planes Fly Low is the most honest Rosebuds record since Ivan and Kelly made their way out of the gates in 2003.
But that's how it goes, right? You live, love, maybe lose and, hope- fully, live to play another day. Loud Planes Fly Low, then, is the start of The Rosebuds' second chancenot as a couple, but as songwriters with, at last, a fascinating truth to tell.

Hot on the heels of the new trailer for Phil Lord and Chris Miller's 21 Jump Street is a poster for the movie, which features Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum looking dressed to impress and ready for action.
Just yesterday, we showed you the new trailer for 21 Jump Street. Based on the '80's TV series by the same name, the film stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as two cops who go undercover at a high school to take down a drug ring. Based on the poster below, which was posted at the film's Facebook page, prom may be part of the job description.
Nothing says "too cool for prom" like wearing sneakers with your tux... or striking a tough-guy (albeit sort of reminiscent of the original Charlie's Angels) pose, gun in hand. Much like the trailer, the poster seems to be aiming at tongue-in-cheek. No pun intended as it may relate to the barely masked sexual innuendo in the poster's tagline shown up top.
21 Jump Street releases in theaters March 16, 2012. More on the film can be found in our Blend Film Database.

Pharmacy theft a growing problem
Thefts of pharmaceuticals in transit to retail pharmacies have been on the rise over the past few years. While exact figures are unavailable, experts are alarmed by thefts of drugs from warehouses, shipping carrier distribution centers, and semi-trucks, despite numerous security and tracking measures.
Two high-profile episodes last year included the theft of numerous lots of Cymbalta, Prozac, and other medications from an Eli Lilly warehouse in Enfield, Conn., and the hijacking of a delivery truck carrying Ambien and other Sanofi-Aventis drugs in Puerto Rico. This spring, a truckload of azithromycin and other generic drugs was stolen from Greenstone LLC, a division of Pfizer, in transit to CVS.
The pharmaceutical industry is stepping up efforts to reduce the thefts, and there are a few steps that pharmacists can take to increase awareness of drug thefts. "When they get an order, pharmacists should make sure they are getting what they ordered and that no products were tampered with," Burke said. Some thefts can go undetected, he noted, because at the manufacturer's warehouse or the carrier's distribution center, only 1 bottle is removed from a box, or products are taken from a sealed pallet, which is then resealed to appear full.
"Pharmacists can make sure that if they were supposed to have 25 bottles of something, they have 25 bottles. Controlled substances, especially, should be closely watched, but Cialis and Viagra are targets too, because they can be sold on the black market," Burke said.
Keith Hodges, owner of Gloucester Pharmacy in Gloucester, Va., and spokesman for the "Safeguard My Meds" public awareness campaign, said that delivery drivers and pharmacists can help thwart drug robberies. "Drivers should use unmarked vehicles so [would-be thieves] do not know they are carrying medications. We also need to work with drivers and make sure they are trained to cooperate. Their safety is first and foremost," Hodges said.
Inside the pharmacy, he added, drug containers should be marked upon arrival. Gloucester Pharmacy uses a permanent marker to tag each bottle or container. "If they are taken onto the street, the police would be able trace the robbery back to the pharmacy," he said.

... are lame! Your overlord just discovered that with the work's new Lenovo ThinkCentre M81 (1730-A45) desktop computer at work and neighbor colleagues heard the audio when the headphones' extension cord cable was lose. DOH! :(
Its support tells how to disable/disconnect it physically. Um, no thanks. However, your overlord used an old broken headphone and connected in the rear's audio jack and kept using the front one. Tests passed. :D

Salvatore Ferragamo probably had everyone stand in front of this wall of roses last night at their launch party in New York, but if they were smart they made Courtney Love stay there all night. She's like something that just crawled out of a grave, and maybe the roses will hide the smell, but also this sorta makes it look like she just won the Kentucky Derby.

Kai Ryssdal: The 2nd of August this year comes on a Tuesday, so that gives us just over two and a half weeks to figure out what to do about the debt limit. By us, of course, I mean Washington politicians.
It's entirely possible, though, that the negotiations are about to be taken out of their hands. Moody's -- the credit rating agency -- has joined Standard & Poor's in suggesting America's triple-A credit score might be at risk if there's no deal to be done. Our New York bureau chief Heidi Moore reports.
Heidi Moore: Ernest Hemingway's friends once asked him how he went broke. His answer? "Slowly. Then all at once."
The U.S. is in the same boat. We may not be able pay our bills come August 2nd. Moody's and S&P are threatening to downgrade us. Again. It sounds bad. But our financial troubles are just beginning, says Robert Tipp. He's the chief investment strategist for Prudential Fixed Income.
Robert Tipp: I think it's a slow burn. I think getting downgraded a tick is not a disaster. It's undesirable.
Tipp said the U.S. has never been downgraded, even though we've been borrowing for years and have no credible plan to pay it off. So I asked Chris Whalen, a well-known financial analyst, what investors who hold U.S. bonds could do if America defaults.
Chris Whalen: Where are they going to run if the Treasury is late paying its bills? They got nowhere to run. If we're a few days late, the world will not end. People will wait.
A day after Moody's threat, investors aren't acting as if they're worried. Today, investors couldn't get enough of the new 30-year Treasury bonds. Whalen believes the credit agencies are bluffing. He says Moody's and S&P know that if we go down, we'll be taking everybody else with us.
Whalen: All that will happen if they downgrade the U.S., the whole market will be downgraded. Because everybody trades off the U.S.
That's because we're still the biggest economy on earth. And the dollar is not just our currency -- it's the world's currency. Central banks have trillions to invest, and they do that mainly in dollars. But maybe they won't do that forever.
In New York, I'm Heidi Moore for Marketplace.

How To Seduce Girls By "Controlling The Frame"
Here is a question that guys commonly ask me for advice about: "How can you tell whether a girl likes you or not?"
I've been friends with expert seducers for as long as I can remember, and they've given me varied answers to this same question.
Since these guys were all absolutely amazing with women, I made sure to write down their answers.
One of the best ones I received was from my buddy Derek Rake who always manages to "close" a woman, no matter what the situation or the setbacks.
Derek said to me, "Go for the kiss. You'll know she likes you if she kisses you back."
You can get the fail-proof first kiss technique, along with Derek's other Deadly Seduction techniques, by clicking here:
Deadly Seduction – Attract & "Close" Girls FAST
Of course, you know this can't happen until you try it. Now the thing is, it's not a bad advice at all. I was just clueless about the steps that lead UP to going for the first kiss (and getting it every time).
You see, I used to observe Derek in action. There is a trick he does BEFORE he goes for the kiss that makes the girl actually want to kiss HIM first.
He preps her up for the kiss so that he doesn't have to work as hard to get it. It's this guy's prep work that made the difference.
In the world of seduction, this is known as "conditioning" a girl and it's one of the most powerful psychological tactics you can utilize to make a girl find you massively attractive.
Before you worry about what to talk about with a girl, let me tell you the first thing you need to do…
Your first goal must be to set the stage for attraction, by putting up a frame for her to enter. In order to do this, you'll got to adjust your OWN frame and make it as strong as possible. Let me discuss this in detail.
The awesome thing about "conditioning" a girl is that is ensures that she will go along with YOUR flow. When you do something to spark a girl's attraction, you don't have to ask if she likes you or not. You must always LEAD the interaction, and not look to her to lead you. This is one of the most common blunders that guys make.
The first step in strengthening your frame is assuming that she likes you. Believe that she's into you, and keep that frame regardless. If you act and talk like a guy who KNOWS a girl likes her, she will soon be entering that mode herself without her noticing.
This is because your whole body language changes when you shift your mindset from doubting her attraction for you to knowing for sure that she's into you.
Consider this. When a girl chases YOU, you're going to act differently. You are naturally going to be more relaxed (assuming that you find her attractive, too) and you're going to NOTICE the things she does to impress you and try to attract you.
If this is your mindset when you talk to a woman, you will notice how she's moving closer, slapping your hand playfully and laughing a little more than usual.
You won't notice these things if you don't assume attraction on her part, because you would be too caught up wondering if she likes you or not.
When I talk to girls, I'll often playfully accuse them of hitting on me. I'll say "you're totally hitting on me. You're so bad." And I'll say it in a totally confident tone of voice. This makes them giggle, blush, slap my arm, etc…they love it.
The guys who can do this come off as cocky to someone else, but to the girls they talk to, they're pretty funny.
This is what we call a "strong frame", or one that puts a girl in the exact position you want her to be, and that is "she likes you and and you're noticing."
On the other hand, if you're not aware of what's going on, women will attempt to place you in either of THEIR frames — and when this happens, they lose respect for you and will not feel sexually attracted.
An example of this would be a girl saying to you, "Oh, so you like me? Buy me a drink and prove it."
That's just one example of the "mind tricks" that girls play on us. This is especially true with hot chicks at bars and clubs, who know they have lots of options. She's making you feel like you need to EARN her approval, and you'll need to shell out money in order to buy some of her time. Never take this bait. Instead, create and maintain a strong frame. Bring her into YOUR frame, not the other way around.
This is a pitfall you absolutely must avoid…
If you submit to her wishes, than you're submitting yourself to her frame. As long as you stay stuck inside her frame, she stays in the power position.
This trick is powerful if you use it right. With practice, you can start doing this in a way that feels natural and effortless. This is when your game goes from "pretty good" to "totally unstoppable".
The first time I saw this technique in action, I was awestruck. There are some guys who simply suck everyone around in their frame, making beta males out of every guy in the room, and attracting the best looking girls.
The other amazing thing about it was that the fact that he was using a "technique" was undetectable. If your frame is strong enough, she will just play the role that you have chosen for her.
To keep your frame strong, you've got to totally believe in it. Also, you need to stay alert and be able to think on your feet, because the girl you're macking on (or another guy) could try to shatter your frame at any time.
If you're persuasive enough, women will accept your frame and go inside your reality — and they're going to enjoy every second.
What makes this tactic extra special is that not many men know it, and this automatically gets you ahead in the game of dating and seducing women if you master this technique.
Just imagine yourself possessing a whole "toolkit" with seduction techniques you can use in every possible situation…they will give you the powers to make any woman like you quickly and leave other men in the dust.
The good news is that Derek Rake's techniques are already available, which you can check out here:
Deadly Seduction Tactics – Exposed
This stuff is brutally effective, definitely controversial, and certainly not for "nice guys" who are afraid to get laid.

This is now NG can be revived.
You'd think with a points incentive more people would do it, huh?
Oh well, individual users do what they can.

Great :D! I haven't reviewed that many movies, but lately I've tied to review every audio track I come over. Great to see there are other people who does this with movies and games :).
Keep it up :D. It really helps the community.

Building Your James Bond Role Playing Character
In honor of the new James Bond flick hitting theaters this week, we thought it would be interesting to take a moment to look at back at the most fun a kid could have being a James Bond fan in the 1980s. James Bond 007: Roleplaying in her Majesty's Secret Service was a tabletop game published by Victory Games between 1984 and 1987.
The actual play dragged on a little bit and was fairly standard. Building a character? That little experience would define you as a human being. In Dungeons and Dragons, no one cared about how you looked. In the James Bond role-playing game, you could amp up you appearance to Sensational. Can you imagine that one in other games? I am a half-orc/half troll barbarian but I look fabulous presumably as half orc/ half trolls go.
In addition to that little feature, your character had to have at least one weakness. The more weaknesses you had, the more points you got to distribute to other parts of your character. You could actually have a character who was a falling down drunk at every opportunity. Just imagine… you could build yourself as looking sensational as well as having a weakness of attraction to members of the opposite sex.
It should be noted that the James Bond Role Playing game also allowed you to have a weakness of attraction to members of the same sex. Keep in mind, having a weakness of attraction to members of the same sex in no way prevented you from still looking absolutely sensational. Once you have established your sensational looking bisexual who gambles away everything while drinking to excess, you had to start to realize a few of the limitations of being in Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Only villains were allowed to have a weakness for sadism or masochism. Obviously, Fifty Shades of Grey was not a popular book when this game came out. It seems a little unfair that you could win at baccarat to the point where you could have a hotel party with all of the Village People as well as the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders while drinking champagne by the bottle and you don't get to tie anyone up? What happened to the London we all knew and loved?
Other than various wild orgies that you could throw in actual game play, the purpose of completing missions was to accumulate Hero Points. Hero Points tended to let you do stunts from the movies that would not normally be allowed during the course of normal game play. If a henchmen should happen to break into your hotel room while you were doing a supermodel who was hiding from her billionaire Russian husband, you could potentially take the guy out with a pen/bomb, pay the bill to room service, and have her nefarious twin sister join in for the three way. The entire time, your Mom could ask what you were really doing and the answer would come back "Playing." The flip side is that you could also be a toad faced behemoth with a fear of fire and screamed like a girl every time you were put in a small cramped space. But… no one did that… ever. You were too busy fitting your self with a rocket pack while tipping Miss Moneypenney.

Had a very nice dinner last night at a place called "Eat" over on Dumaine St. I don't recall ever seeing this place mentioned- and because of the name, they are very hard to search for- but I enjoyed it very much. Seafood Pasta was the special- wonderful!
Any thoughts about this place?
