Pre-nuptials need to be backed by real laws
It is very strange that an agreement entered into by two adults of sound mind is allowed to be ignored by the courts. But that is the case with pre-nuptial agreements in this country.
As a result, divorce lawyers are not able to advise their clients whether the pre-nuptial agreement they have signed is worth the paper it is written on. It really is up to the whim of the judge on the day. Now the Law Commission has advised Parliament that a new law is needed to make pre-nups binding.
Many have the idea that pre-nups are a rich person's ploy and certainly the landmark case of German heiress Katrin Radmacher, who had her pre-nup upheld in 2010, bolsters this.
But pre-nups could help to both ease separation and ensure that individuals enter into matrimony knowing exactly where their finances stand.
Often the ignorance relating to finance and marriage and relationships is startling. For instance, few people I encounter know a will made before marriage is voided by the nuptials.
As for unmarried people living together, there is still a belief that there is such a thing as common-law wife and husband rights – there is no such thing.
I know someone married but recently widowed and is now facing legal action from the parents of the deceased husband over an alleged sum given to their son prior to the marriage used as a deposit for a home.
The rights and wrongs of the case don't concern me here, but if a pre-nuptial agreement had been in place then perhaps some account could have been taken of this money.
Pre-nups could help to flag up the need for couples to have a will drawn up to avoid such disputes if the worst happens.
However, there are dangers in pre-nups as in any legal document, and one of these is in the drawing up of the document.
I am seeing an increasing number of horror stories about so-called will-writing firms that charge seemingly cheap prices for their work but either forget crucial aspects of the law or even write themselves into a will as an executor as a means to extract fees in the future.
If pre-nups move from being a rich person's option then let's avoid the pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap approach. All in all, though, clearing the legal path for pre-nups is a real positive.

I'm back in the basement. Finally had to leave the WiFi-friendly coffee shop before lapsing into a caffeine coma.
I have Internet service at the moment, so I'll make this quick before it goes out again:
For our final post of the week, we check back in with Rich Ackerman of MSG Varsity / WFAN / Sirius, who last month was the subject of a "Bachelor"-style dating adventure on "Live with Regis and Kelly."
(Here is my original story, which appeared a month ago today.)
The audience chose a woman named Rachel for him from among three finalists, and the two had a pleasant evening going to dinner and a Rangers game during a mid-February snowstorm.
One month later, that pairing did not turn out to be a love connection, but fear not:
Ackerman has been dating Samara Churgin - another of the finalists.
Hey, you never know. That's amore.
Actually, Regis Philbin foresaw this possibility when I first spoke to him about setting up Ackerman:
"If it doesn't work out [with Rachel]," he said, "I'm sure Ack Ack has access to all of those other phone numbers. It's up to him."
That's all for now, WatchDog Nation. Enjoy Selection Sunday. I'm OK with a No. 10 seed for Cornell. Just give us a crack at Duke in the second round.

What All-Ireland ads would be like at Superbowl prices
FOR American Football lovers, the most important date on the calendar is now only three weeks away, with the Superbowl set for February 3. It's also one of the most important dates on the advertising calendar, with companies devising ads that may run only once during the many breaks in the game but will then be parsed to the nth degree afterwards and replayed endlessly online.
Once again all the 30-second slots have been sold out at prices of between $3.6m (€2.7m) and $3.8m a pop, although the broadcaster CBS has made no secret of the fact that if somebody wants to pay $6m-plus for a slot at the last second, money will talk.
To say the market is a little more highfalutin than the advertising gigs at halftime in the Six Nations rugby matches or All-Ireland finals would be an understatement.
But if the All-Ireland ad breaks were as important as the Superbowl, what companies would spend $3.8m for a spot, and how would they go about it?
Bank of Ireland probably couldn't afford the payout in these straightened times, but something along the lines of Chrysler's "Half time in America" ad from last year would be appropriate. The theme of a country and industry coming back from the dead would be a welcome one.
Guinness would be the obvious candidate to take the spot normally held by Budweiser. As for who would take over GroupOn's controversial adverts ("The people of Tibet are in trouble, their very culture in jeopardy ... but they still whip up an amazing fish curry"), well, our lawyers would be thankful if The Punt avoids that one ...

"Angel don't please don't." Aaron said. But it was to late. Angel was gone. Aaron sat and began to weep.
15 Years later
Aaron went to unlock the door but it was already was unlocked. He thought one the girl was there but when he opened the door. There was a young girl with blond hair and light blue eyes. Aaron's eyes got wide and he dropped the keys he bent down to get them. He noticed she had child with her "How can I help you?" He asked. Then picked up a photo on his desk and looked at it. Then he realized that they where the same people in it just then she said something he didn't understand. Just then she kissed him and at that moment he hared a crash on the floor. He looked at where it came from and it was Gabriella at the door.
She had dropped the bag and ran out tares running down her face. Aaron tried to go after her but tripped on a can. Then Angel flew after her.
Angel ran after Gabriella. And after five turns Angel found her in an ally. "Um… sorry for that. I'm Angle and what you saw back there it wasn't anything." Angel tried to apologize. And Gabriella stood up ready to run. Then angle stood in her way so she couldn't go anywhere. "I'm Gabriella and just so you know Aaron and I are going out. So they away form him." She hissed at Angel. "Ok…look I don't think you know who I am. I'm Aaron's sister. And I'm taken I've got a husband and a son." Angel explained.
"I didn't know you where still alive no advance." Angel shook her head. "Come on let's walk back." She afforded. "Ok." Gabriella agreed. "So what happened to you?" Gabriella asked Angel. When they walked in the door Aaron was on his knees crying and the baby was missing. "Aaron where's my son at?" Angel asked very calmly. As he stood up there was blood on his face. Angel looked furious. As she turned around. Aaron spoke up "Don't not again." His eyes filled with horror. She walk over to him "Don't worry I'll be back." She whispered. As she passed Gabriella she stopped. "Don't let him go anywhere." She ordered. Then she vanished.
Aaron looked at the baby his sister had brought in and smiled at the baby boy. Then he started to wake. Aaron picked up the boy he looked so tiny. Then five men with wings came in and tried to take the baby away from him. But Aaron wouldn't give up his nephew up without a fight.
So with the boy in his arms he ran to the back room and hid him in the closet and walked out into the hall to face the men. When he got there for of them garbed him and the last one was standing there. "Now where did you take my son?" He asked Aaron was to stubborn to give up so easily. Then the guy punched him in the face. "Now I will ask again where is he?" He repeated.
But Aaron didn't say a thing. Then when he got hit again the four guys let go and he fell to the ground. Wiping the blood from his lips and head and went into the back room where Aaron hid the baby boy at Aaron tried to get up when he did they where gone. And ran to the closet where he hid the child at. But he wasn't there so he wondered what to tell Angel when she got back and realized he couldn't make up an excuse to tell her. So he sat down and began to cry then it was fifteen minuets then she was staring at him and vanished.
"Angel, how good to see you here my dear." Mark said with a grin on his face. "Mark, give me Jason, back NOW!" Angle was furious. That her x-husband kidnapped her son. Angel's wings where fluffed up. He did it now she lunged at he but those stupid guards got to her before she got to Mark. "Now let her go." Mark said to those stupid big headed dumb brutes looked at him in confusion and let her go.
Mark was the nicest man when Angel first met him but as time went on his heart turned to ice. But he was convinced he had to have Angel and Jason one happy family and he would do everything to get what he wanted. Angel looked at him in disgust. She grabbed her sword and charged at him just to scare him into giving her baby back.
"I'll warn you one more time give me my son back now!" Angle was way past furious. Her skin was boiling hot just then Jason started to cry again Angle leaped at her son and grabbed him vanished again. Angle went back to see how Aaron was doing after what happened with Mark and his dumb guards.
Aaron looked pitiful Gabriella was next to him treating his wounds with a sponge dipped in hot water. He secretly loved Gabriella. But he didn't know how she would react. But there was one way to figure out. He searched for the words to ask her.
"Um…how are you doing with your nursing school?" He asked. She smiled at him and maybe even blushed a little. "It's going really well." She replied. "Good, really good." He said with a smile. "So do you have a boyfriend?" Aaron asked. Gabriella looked at him. "Why, do you want to know?" She asked in a curious voice. "Well…I…was just thinking and maybe you would like to go to a movie some time." Now he started to blush too.
"I'll think about it and let you know soon, ok?" She remarked. He smiled at her. "Ok." He replied.
Angle walked in the door with Jason in her arms. "Angle did get the baby? And those slums bags?" Aaron pricked at he sister. Angle looked so sad. "Angle is there something you want to talk about?" Gabriella asked. She and Angle had become good friends in that short time.
Angel looked at her and tried to smile but she couldn't. She put Jason in the basket of witch she brought. And at next to him and started to talk to herself. "Why did he turn evil? Why? why?" She kept saying it to herself then realized Aaron and Gabriella where hanging on her every word she was saying.
She gave a sigh. "Alright you two I'll tell you." She started. " About fifteen years ago I met this really cute and nice guy. Well… We got to know each other really well his name is Mark; he's Jason's father. Well all was really good until one day this thing perused him and it didn't looked good it pursued him and he turned evil. So I got Jason away from him and now he will not stop to get what he wants." She finished her story.
"Well… That was interesting." Gabriella said in a sympatric voice. Jason looked at his uncle and smiled at him. Just then Mark appeared Aaron, Gabriella and Angel got up. He walked up to Angel so she hit him as hard as she could and he fell to the ground. But instead of fight like Aaron & Gabriella thought Angel walked away and left Jason in his basket asleep. Mark jumped up and ran after her.
Aaron went after him so Gabriella was alone with the baby just then he started to cry. She picked up Jason and got some milk and gave it to him. He drank it slowly.
Aaron ran after Mark who ran after Angel. He finally caught him and tackled him and they went rolling on the ground. Angel rushed to help her brother. And saw it wasn't Mark it was his twin brother Luke. "Aaron get off of him now." Aaron stopped looking confused and got up. "What are you mad?" Aaron asked convinced that she lost it. Angel shook her head. "Sorry, Luke I didn't realize sorry." Angel apologized to him. "U… I'm lost Angel who is this?" Aaron asked. "This is Luke Mark's twin brother I know it sounds crazy but it's true."
It wasn't twenty minutes that they where back in the office. When Jason started to cry again. Angle picked him up and walked around the room. When Mark reappeared again. "Mark you are so lucky I hit Luke instead of you." Angel hissed at him. He went to kiss her and she bent back and managed to kick him and he collapsed holding his knee where she kicked him. Everyone laughed at him.
Gabriella tried not to bust with laughter. Luke smirked at them. Jason started to cry. Angel walked around the room again. "Can I at lest see my son?" Mark asked Angel. 'Don't do it.' Gabriella was about to say.
When a bright light drifted in the room. Then a very pretty lady came in. "Mom you're here but I called you when Jason was born witch was 6mouths is it really that busy?" The woman looked like Angel straight blond hair but had green eyes instead of blue.
"Yes my child it is; but one thing I don't approve of you to fighting?" Her voice was soft and gentle. Angel and Mark lowered their heads. Jason still in Angel's arms the woman grabbed him from Angel. Without a struggle let go. The woman smiled at him. "He was a good sprit like his mother but has the determination of his father and as stubborn as his uncle." Then she smiled at all of them even Gabriella. Who was watching them.
Then gave Jason to Angel and walked over to her. "Well it's kind of hard not to fight with Mark when his stupid guards attack us. They could have killed Aaron today mother." Angel protested. She didn't notice when Mark tried to grab Jason until Jason bit Mark and Mark yelled so loud it could have been heard four miles away. "Ow, he got you good there." Angel smiled.

Neuro taps in-app game ad unit for more than 10pc engagement
February 20, 2014
As a part of a broader Sleep with Neuro campaign, Neuro Drinks placed a mobile game ad unit in a number of applications to educate consumers about the new Neuro Sleep drink.
The ad unit ran in apps such as Ruzzle and TV Quiz Show as well as in Zynga games such as Words with Friends, Draw Something and Hanging with Friends. Of the ten percent who engaged in the ad, 44 percent entered their email address to redeem a bottle of Neuro Sleep.
The mobile game unit is a component of a larger campaign, Sleep with Neuro which is designed to drive trial of our drink Neuro Sleep, said Brian Pope,chief marketing officerof Neuro, Santa Monica, CA.
Our research shows that once consumers have a chance to try Neuro Sleep for themselves, that they will come back again and again when they need relief of occasional sleeplessness, he said.
The campaign itself is designed to provide one million consumers with the opportunity to try Neuro Sleep and to build awareness and buzz around the brand.
Neuro Sleep
Neuro launched the Sleep with Neuro campaign to introduce a new sleep aid beverage that combines melatonin with L-theanine, magnesium and 5-HTP to achieve more continuous sleep. The drink comes in three flavors: mellow mango, tangerine dream and original peach apricot.
While supplies last, consumers can get a free bottle of Neuro Sleep to try it out.
The campaign plays on the innuendos of the word sleep and incorporates a video of Neil Patrick Harris getting lucky as well as phrases such as They say were good in bed.
To promote the campaign, Neuro worked with PaeDae to create an in-app game ad unit. When consumers finish a game of Words with Friends, for instance, an ad will pop up that invites consumers to play a game to win a free bottle of Neuro Sleep.
Consumers have to catch bottles of Neuro Sleep with a pillow while avoiding alarm clocks. They have twenty seconds to reach 300 points.
Consumers can keep playing until they reach 300 points, and then they can enter their email address to receive a coupon for one free Neuro Sleep drink. They must print out the coupon though to redeem in-store.
The ad is unique because it provides a compelling and native, in-app entertainment experience that educates consumers about the benefit of the product and allows them to compete to win a free bottle, Mr. Pope said.
The game itself is highly engaging and the prize is both compelling and attainable, he said. While we wanted the gameplay to be a bit challenging, it is also possible to play the game again until you attain the required score.
We also infused the game with cheeky language and fun double entendre, youre great in bed,' youre going to get some tonight, to ensure the game keeps a smile on your face.
The in-app game
Mobile ad
One of the benefits of the in-app game ad unit is scale and reach.
Our technology allows us to take engaging experiences like in-app mini-games into a campaign with tremendous scale without ever compromising the user experience or brand display," said Rob Emrich, CEO of brand engagement platform, PaeDae."Neuros mobile-first campaign is a perfect example of how our unique creative is paired with functional technology to drive impressive, wide-reaching engagement."
While there are other components to this campaign besides mobile, Neuro made sure to incorporate the medium to reach a key segment of its target audience.
The in-app game ad is a fun way to engage consumers who are already playing games on their phones. It allows Neuro to bring attention to its new drink in a fun, creative way.
Our consumer target is women 18 34, and we know that mobile is a central part of their lives and where they spend a good portion of their leisure time, Mr. Pope said. Through gamification, we are able to capture her attention and engage her in a unique and compelling way.
By engaging her in mobile, it also facilitates social shares about the brand, he said. As an emerging brand, word of mouth continues to be our primary source of awareness.
Mobile is central to our strategy of encouraging fans to help spread the word.

The Jersey was taken off Disney Channel before this episode could air. Even years after production ended, after several marathons of other previously unseen episodes were finally shown, this and the following episode were still not shown for some unknown reason.
The Jersey was taken off Disney Channel before "Weight For Me" could air.
Also, when Morgan returns the Jersey takes her back without her having to tug on it. This may be the only time the Jersey activates the return on it's own, though it often delayed the return by refusing to send them back on the first tug.
When Morgan is hiding the jersey in her bag, the coach and Tamika are still going in slow-motion from when she jumped back.
After Willa takes a Polaroid of Hilary opening the can of soda, the camera moves to show the pictures. A normal Polaroid wouldn't develop that fast.
When Hilary is at her locker if you look in the background all of the locks on the lockers are turned around in the next shot after looking at Morgan they were all turned around.
When we see Elliot as Jevon Kearse looking at the computer, the strap on his helmet changes sides in some shots.
The credits say "Christian Copeliin"
This contradicts "Fathers and Sons", in which Nick's grandfather was good enough to play semipro ball, meaning that he was probably a very good college player but not a superstar.
When Nick is on the bed and the jersey takes him to Super Bowl, he goes and the book he was reading goes too.
When Nick, Coleman, and Elliot are inside and Morgan is on the outside of the Lighter's house Nick says "We're not taking new members!" and the conversation goes on until Mrs. Hudson says "Let's go, we have to get everything unpacked before your father gets home." We all know Morgan's mom and dad are divorced, so why would he be moving with them?
After Nick jumps into Steve Young, he performs various screwy antics to confirm he's actually jumped into his body. These antics are easily noticed on the huge stadium TV screen, not to mention pointed out by the game announcers. The one obvious thing that doesn't seem to get noticed by anyone was after Nick assumed his QB position on the field---the fact that he was throwing the football with his right hand! Everyone watching the game, from the announcers to the fans should know that Steve Young is left-handed!

OneMinutesJr workshop in Turkey - Day 3
by Chris Schuepp
years of uncertainty, two years of not knowing what the future will
bring, two years of waiting for something to happen. In his
OneMinutesJr film Mohammed symbolizes the long wait by walking
through the camp by himself and throwing a rock up to catch it and
throw it up again. And again and again. Until he gets to a pile of
rocks where he places his rock on top of the others. One rock per
day, a symbol of the seemingly endless time in the camp.
For the children, however, there are the school tents and the child friendly space administered by the Turkish Red Crescent and UNICEF. The center is like a "safe haven" and also the place where we hold the workshop this week. At the end of an interesting day out in the camp, we get back to our base and wrap-up the day before we start with the rest of the filming tomorrow morning.

Life Without Food- The Master Cleanse Health Secrets
I did it! I made it through the entire 10-day Master Cleanse without a drop of food. For a real genuine lover of all foods and self-proclaimed intense foodie, it was an accomplishment of severe proportions.
I was surprised to find that many of my friends had already tried it, but most of them failed to make it past day 3. I had numerous people contact me during the cleanse wanting to know how I was doing and curious to hear my commentary about it.
Let's begin at the beginning. I made a decision to do this cleanse for a variety of reasons. The first and most important reason was because I had been having a variety of stomach problems for the greater part of the past year. You know, all of those unpleasant things the stomach does with the least being indigestion and bloating. I have been on a quest the past couple of years not only to find the root of my stomach problems, but also to find the key that could unlock my slow and lagging metabolism I had seen decrease as the years tick by.
I do realize that most of my complaints are common and largely age related, but as some of you know, I am a perfectionist and have taken the field of anti-aging medicine on as my most favorite hobby for the past 6 years. Like any good nerd, I spend most of my downtime reading about anti-aging medicine, hormone balancing, natural remedies and reviewing blood test results my friends have entrusted to me to evaluate and help them diagnose their own ailments.
While trying to find a cure to my ailments, I remembered a quote from a prominent gastrointestinal doctor who said, "If you want to heal the body, you must first heal the gut." I knew I had to heal my gut if I wanted total health and wellness.
I began my quest by experimenting with taking enzymes a week before I began the cleanse. The outstanding result I experienced was the encouragement I needed to know I was on the right path. I immediately saw results from all of my stomach problems. Enzymes are necessary to digest food, but are only found in raw foods. When your body is trying to digest cooked and processed foods, it is required to take the metabolic enzymes from your blood and break them down into digestive enzymes to help digest the food. As we age, we produce less and less of these enzymes to do the work. The metabolic enzymes in the blood are the body's repair mechanism. They travel through the bloodstream repairing organs and delivering toxins to the liver. The more enzymes that are needed for digestion, the less there are enzymes in the blood which results in less repair being done. In essence, if we give the digestive system a break and our body does not need to break down the metabolic enzymes into digestive enzymes, then all of that energy is used to repair and heal the rest of the body. All of a sudden, giving my digestive system a 10-day vacation made complete and total sense.
With this knowledge, I woke up one day and decided to begin the Master Cleanse. This was not a planned or premeditated cleanse for me. It was just like that- I woke up one day, went to the store, bought the ingredients and began. It wasn't until after I began, that I did my research. Big mistake! I do not recommend jumping into it as I did. I recommend easing into it. My reasons will be described in the daily breakdown below.
To give you a brief dime-store education on what it is, I will explain in short: The Master Cleanse is a total body detox that is done by drinking a specific lemonade drink, using herbal laxatives and a salt water flush daily for 10- days. It was first made popular in the 50's by Stanley Burroughs and has since been the golden seal for any at- home detox method with people seeing extreme results benefiting their health and achieving weight loss. This is not a weight loss diet, but a detox plan, although weight loss is an added benefit.
So, I now have a bag of lemons, a jug of organic grade B maple syrup and cayenne pepper. I was ready to go!
Life Without Food
Day 1- Full force- I drank the total allowance of 60 oz of lemonade. I am all in, but by 12 noon, I had a migraine that was more than a threat to the challenge. I told myself, 'let's just do this one day at a time'. I was not committed to the 10 days. I did the salt water flush in the evening (it took me a full hour to get the 30 oz down) and by bed time, the migraine had grown to unbearable proportions and was now accompanied by nausea. The migraine was so strong, I didn't know how I was going to be able to fall asleep. On the cleanse, you are instructed not to take any medicines or vitamins, so I suffered through without any relief.
Day 2-I woke up with the same migraine and nausea. I assembled my lemonade and salt water flush, but failed at getting even a mouthful of the flush down. This was when I began to regret not easing into the cleanse. Once my mouth tasted the salt water, I began vomiting and didn't stop for two hours. The migraine was so intense during this time, I thought I might die. After reading about these symptoms, I found it was likely due to a caffeine withdrawal and/ or a poor diet leading up to the cleanse. Next time, I will take myself off of caffeine and processed foods the week before to ease in. The rest of the day, my stomach was weak. This was the only day I did not accomplish the salt water flush. Day 2 was the worse day by far for me. Everyone kept encouraging me that it gets better after day 3. I was challenged and wanted to know what they meant. They promised it would be easy if I could get past day 3. Now, I was determined. I wanted to see what they were talking about.
Day 3- All is good again. I woke up and all traces of the migraine and nausea were gone. I actually felt really good and was ready to take on the salt water flush. This time it took about 30 minutes for me to get it down (gagging included) and it showed promising results. I drank the lemonade the rest of the day and the herbal laxative tea at night. I noticed a thick white coating had developed on my tongue. A sign the toxins are being expelled. I had enough energy to do a one-hour cardio class. Looks like they were all right. Day 3 not so bad.
Day 4- Salt water flush is getting easier each day, but still the worst part of this process. I had a clear head and was full of energy all day. Took on another hour of cardio like a champ. Some hunger pangs, but the lemonade seems to quench that.
Day 5- Now, I'm beginning to see results. The toxins everyone talks about that are eliminated through this cleanse are on their way out. I'll leave the graphics to the other bloggers and forums on how they come out. I'll just stick to the basics here. The evening hunger pangs are challenging, but I am amazed at how much energy I have throughout the day. I have decided that I am all in. I will go the distance!
Day 6- I'm able to get the salt water flush down in under 20 minutes. My energy levels are soaring. I had a great workout in the gym doing an hour of total body conditioning. Today was the worst day for hunger pangs and missing food. I was really hungry today. I walked past a popcorn kiosk and fantasized about burying my head into the freshly popped bin of popcorn.
Day 7 – My morning routine is becoming normal now. The salt water flush is going down in 12 minutes flat. My tongue seems to be clearing a little bit. I had a small patch of psoriasis on my ear lobes that has completely cleared up leaving just a faint red mark in its place. Looks like my body is doing the repairs it needed. I am fantasizing about sea salt caramels, cheese crackers and the half eaten can of Pringle's in the cabinet. I'm really bummed I'm going to miss the fish fry for lent this Friday. I can't wait to eat again!
Day 8- I slept 10 hours just like a baby. I'm counting the days until I can eat again. I really miss food. My nails are very brittle, but my skin is looking bright. Still managed an hour of boot camp today. I'm amazed at how much energy I have after not eating solid food for a week!
Day 9- 2 more days to go. My figure is coming back, but I'm ready for the cleanse to be over. Next time, I won't do it for the full 10 days. I now daydream about what the first food will be that I eat. Peanut butter and jelly, pizza, patty melt, a salty anything on a cheesy something.
Day 10- Knowing this is the last day of the cleanse made the day bearable. I'm still a couple of days away from eating the foods I'm craving since the ease out phase suggests only juices and soups for 2-3 days after. I'm feeling very accomplished today that I can say I made it through without cheating one bit! I plan to do the cleanse again in the future, but next time, 7 days is my maximum. 10 days was a really long time for me to be without the one thing I love the most- food! I still have one more weigh- in tomorrow morning, but as of today, I only lost 5.5 lbs.. Not that exciting for weight loss, but again, that wasn't my first reason for doing it. Just an added bonus.
Easing out of the Cleanse
It is recommended to take 2-4 days after the cleanse only drinking freshly squeezed orange juice, soups and smoothies to reacquaint your digestive system with food before moving onto solids.
My psoriasis cleared up, my skin is bright and I lost 5.5 lbs, not to mention the satisfaction I have in witnessing all of the toxins leaving my body. I will try it again in about 6 weeks. Next time should be much easier!
Recipe and Ingredients:
This recipe yields 20 oz of lemonade
20 oz of good quality filtered water (I use the filtered water from my refrigerator)
4 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemons (do not refrigerate to save the enzymes)
4 tablespoons of organic grade b maple syrup (important: grade B has the most minerals and you will need all the minerals you can get)
1/10 of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper (insert it fresh when ready to drink to avoid fermentation and it becoming too spicy)
Salt water flush:
2 teaspoons of non- iodized sea salt
30 oz of filtered water (I use 2o oz of water to mix with salt and have a glass of cold water set aside as a chaser)
Herbal Laxative Tea-
I used chocolate flavored 'Smooth Move'. Let it steep for 10 minutes or more to get the maximum benefits.
What: The Master Cleanser/ The Lemonade Diet by Stanley Burroughs
Where: All ingredients can be found at Whole Foods or other natural food stores.
Organic Grade B Mape Syrup- $20- $30 for 32 oz.
Organic cayenne pepper- $2-$5
Filtered water- free (I used the filtered water from my refrigerator)
Organic lemons- $3-$6 a bag
Un-iodized Sea Salt- $4-$8

Three rifles, two shotguns, two handguns, a car and numerous other items including electronics were reported stolen Sunday from a residence in Eureka.
Around 3 p.m. Sunday, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office was notified of a residential burglary on the 2100 block of Meadow Wood Lane. When deputies arrived, they met with the owners of the residence. According to a press release, the residents told the deputies their locked residence was broken into sometime between noon and 3 p.m. while they were away.
The residents' 1997 Buick LaSaber was stolen and discovered later that day in Manila by the California Highway Patrol after it was set on fire, the release said. The total loss is still being tallied by the victims, but is estimated to be in excess of $10,000.

The most fun part in the world of branding is that everything can be branded. A brand can be created out of nothing or can develop unintentionally. A brand can mean everything or absolutely nothing. With a smart plan and hard work combined with a couple of strokes of luck, everybody can own a brand. It's an entire philosophy behind the concept of branding which ultimately determines the fate of brands. After all, when something is called a brand that doesn't necessarily mean that its success is guaranteed.
During the last decade's digital boom the term personal branding has been pitched around a lot and it has grown to be the favorite marketing tool for aspiring business men that wish to boost their career in the best way possible. Simply put, personal branding is the way individuals stand out due to their uniqueness and the value they represent by just having their name mentioned.
SEE ALSO: Did You Know the Meaning Behind These Car Brand Logos?
But what if we went back in time, before smartphones and social networks existed, and before personal branding, yet alone branding, was a term used strictly for marking livestock? This is exactly what Meg Jannott did: she gave a unique identity to the United States presidents which resonates through a well-put typography. Every identity is characteristic for each president and it defines them in a casual manner either through a specific symbol or through a memorable quote.
According to her Tumblr blog, Meg's branding project is yet to be finished, so be sure to check it out for updates and see the rest of the images.

Robert Blake, a political insider and close friend of George H.W. Bush, died in Lubbock on Wednesday. He was 86.
Blake was active in political campaigns for the Republican Party. He served as the Lubbock County chairman of Gerald Ford's presidential campaign, and he represented Texas as a national delegate to the Republican National Convention when Bush, his longtime friend, was nominated for the U.S. presidency in 1988.
"He was an amazing man. He tried to make it a better community, state and nation," said Ruth Schiermeyer, a longtime Lubbock County GOP leader. "He remained in the background but was always there to support and help."
Blake mentored Schiermeyer during the 1970s when she served as the Lubbock County Republican Party vice chairwoman.
"He was just a great friend," Schiermeyer said. "I just thought a lot of him."
Blake helped put Lubbock in the national spotlight in 1989 when President Bush quoted him at a White House news conference.
Bush said he had "talked to a fellow from Lubbock, Texas, the other day. ... And he said: 'All the people in Lubbock think things are going just great.' "
Blake was a decorated war veteran. He served in the Army Air Corps and earned a Silver Star and Purple Heart.
He was involved in the family oil and gas business as well as ranching, farming, banking and the insurance business.
Blake is survived by his two daughters, three grandchildren, four brothers and a sister.
Graveside services will be 11 a.m. Saturday at the City of Lubbock Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to the Garrison Center, 3310 Fourth St., 79415, or Hospice of Lubbock, P.O. Box 16800, 79490.

Un soggiorno veramente gradevole, accoglienza eccellente e cordiale unita a preziosi consigli di visita, camere grandi e provviste di ogni accessorio. Dopo essere rimasti per le tre notti previste, siamo tornati al termine del nostro giro lungo la RomantischeStrasse, e ritrovarci con Andrea è stato un piacere, entrambe le volte siamo arrivati dopo l'orario previsto per il check-in e non è stato un problema per lei. Molto bello e caratteristico il paesaggio montano intorno, abbiamo anche partecipato a una festa in un tendone bavarese... Giovanna e Corrado

Siamo una famiglia di 5 persone e siamo stati benissimo; le stanze sono pulite e ben arredate, inoltre muri e porte sono molto spessi per cui una volta in camera si gose un bel silenzio. Andrea è gentilissima e lei e sua madre preparano delle ottime colazioni. Il b&b inoltre è posizionato in zona contrale rispetto a molte visite, è quindi un buon punto di partenza

I stayed for 6 nights there in June 2016. It is very clean. The services is outstanding. The owner/family bend backwards to accommodate your needs and wishes. Breakfast is soooooo good and more then you can eat. You can make your own sandwich to take it with you for the day. There is wrap in paper and little plastic bags. I recommend this place highly if you like to stay in a typical German style country bed and breakfast. Ruth Martin, Aptos/CA

Pension très agréable, idéalement située en Bavière du Sud, non loin des châteaux de Louis II, de la chaîne des Alpes. Münich très facilement accessible en train depuis Murnau, nombreuses randonnées à faire dans les environs. Accueil très sympathique, petits-déjeuners copieux, bref notre séjour fin juin a été une semaine de pur bonheur.

Una pensión super linda. Muy buen compromiso precio-calidad y servicio. Dormitorios limpios, buena ubicaión y la familia muy atenta. Desayuno fresco y abundante. Cuando llegamos, quien nos recibió fue la abuelita que no hablaba inglés, felizmente estabamos con mi hermano que hablaba un poco de alemán. En la noche cuando llegó Andreas, la dueña del hostal, fue a preguntarnos a nuestro cuarto si todo estaba bien. Muy amable durante toda nuestra estadía. Si regresamos algún día, nos quedaremos en esta misma pensión.

We stayed for two nights. The beds were incredibly comfortable: the rooms clean and nicely furnished. Andrea, the hostess, went above and beyond to help us out with any questions we had. We would definitely return, and recommend to our friends.

We stayed 5 days in Guesthouse Gerold, Andrea did everything they could to make us feel easy, they gave us kindly help to make our trip wonderful. It is convenient to come to their house by public traffic, the room is very clean and comfortable, including an independent chicken , bathroom and a balcony. the breakfast includes milk, Bread, coffee, eggs. Fruits and many other things, that make our breakfast a real enjoyment. We are satisfied with everything about this stay and we would not be hesitate to come back to Guesthouse Gerold if we return to southern Bavaria in the future, and we strongly recommend Guesthouse Gerold to others¿

Troisième séjour dans la charmante pension de Madame Gerold. Toute la famille est toujours aussi sympathique et serviable. Les prix sont raisonnables, le petit déjeuner bon, et très copieux. Nous avons deux petites filles et avons bien profité de nouveau des parcs, jardins, châteaux, lacs, fêtes locales etc... Il y a tant de choses à faire! C'est vraiment un point stratégique pour découvrir la région de Kandinsky et du groupe "Der Blaue Reiter" et visiter les châteaux de Louis II de Bavière. Cette année j'ai testé le bain de boue au "Kurbad Sanitas", expérience étonnante et relaxante. La cure est recommandée pour les femmes désirant avoir des enfants. Nous avons hâte de revenir à Bad Kohlgrub, chez Madame Gerold! Sa fille Andrea, son mari et son frère parlent parfaitement anglais. Sophie et Pascal. Lille, France.

We spent a week in Guesthouse Gerold and could not have been more pleased. Helena and Andrea were such wonderful hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. Helena greeted us cheerfully each morning and was eager to answer our questions. Each morning we had a delicious German style breakfast with fresh rolls, assortment of sausage and cheese, and delicious marmalade. Cereals, yogurt, and juice were also available. The coffee was delicious as well. Our rooms were very clean with fresh linens and towels. We would definitely return to Guesthouse Gerold in the charming village of Bad Kohlgrub whenever we return to southern Bavaria in the future.

Drove up from Italy for a couple of days rest and was very please with the Guesthouse and the service given by Helena and Andrea. Could not have found a better place to stay. I was give the a larger room the one top left in photo display at no additional charge. Frau Helena is a wonderful warm person full of life and most helpful in every way. If they would serve a light dinner the place would be fantastic. With the balcony door open the traffic noise can get a little loud, just close the door and you will be fine Thank

We stayed here for two nights. It is a charming cozy place and the host Helena is a very warm pleasant person. There's a kitchennet if you want to make simple meals yourself. There are restaurants close by. Helena offers great breakfasts with fresh cold cuts and breads. She asked us to make sandwiches and take them for snack.

Nous sommes restés 10 jours dans ce fabuleux appartement de vacances à Bad Kohlgrub, situé au centre de merveilleux châteaux, parcs, lacs, monastères, forêts et montagnes. Nous étions déjà venus l'année dernière avec notre petite fille, et avions beaucoup apprécié, comme cette année, la gentillesse, la disponibilté de Madame Gerold et de sa fille Andrea. Les chambres sont très propres, le petit déjeuner est très copieux. Les prix sont plus que raisonnables. Nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances ! Sophie Cailleux, Lille, France.

Just want to share my experience here. My husband and I (USA) stayed at Gerold Guesthouse for a week. We had absolutely gorgeous time there. The personnel is amazing. Room was super cozy and clean and authentically decorated which of course added to our impression. Breakfast was very good and really filling. And what is the most important for me - the atmosphere was very warm and hospitable. I really loved that place and I can definitely recommend it to others.
4,4 en junio 23, 2013
A charming guesthouse in an idyllic little village. The Gerold family was warm and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and comfortable- The lack of air conditioning was the only issue disturbing our stay during an exeptional heatwave passing through southern Germany. The rooms were kept very clean at all times and the owners were very eager to help us find the attractions we were looking for. We would stay at Guesthouse Gerold again anytime, and sincerely recommend it to everyone visiting nearby!
5 en junio 05, 2013
Stayed here May/June 2013 and this is fantastic value , first class . Great breakfast , lovely views in a lovely little Bavarian town . Only pity was the weather was against us but didn't stop us getting out and about . Great location for walks in hills and countryside. We didn't drive but buses and traions run fairly regulary and very handily placed fro trips to castles and towns such as Oberammergau , Neuschwanstein , Linderhof and MANY more . Great little family run business/B&B , would recommend to anyone . Jon & Nikki - England

The Gerold family was very welcoming and we were definitely glad we chose to stay here. We had chosen the Gästehaus Gerold based primarily on the other reviews and feedback we had had about the place, and all were definitely accurate. It really is an ideal place to be based when exploring the general Garmisch-P. area, and excellent value for the money. Again, the warm welcome and interaction with the Gerold family makes a big difference! A good breakfast, and super comfortable rooms - would definitely stay here again for sure.

My brother and I, both seniors, stayed in 2 single rooms at Guesthouse Gerold for 6 nights in early May 2013. We also saw a couple of the apartment units, which are very roomy and comfortable. Frau Gerold is very kind and accommodating, and her daughter Andrea was very helpful with information. She even directed me to a Birkenstock outlet a few kilometres away, near a neighbouring village! We also lucked out in meeting another frequent guest who is originally from Germany but now lives in Canada, and she told us and showed us a lot about the area. This B&B is so handy to neighbouring villages, as advertised. We had a thoroughly comfortable and pleasant stay here at Guesthouse Gerold.

A wonderful village location surrounded by open countryside. A great place to relax after spending long days on business in Munich. Only a few minutes walk to DB station with trains to Oberhammergau or Murnau (for Munich). Very friendly and helpful family owners.

On our recent trip to Bavaria, we planned on a one night's stay at this B & B. We loved it so much that we ended up staying six nights, and making it our vacation home for day trips all over the area. Our hostess, Mrs, Gerold, was divinely accommodating. She is perhaps the epitome of gracious hospitality. Her breakfast food was overwhelming. From the meats and cheeses, to the endess coffee, and special scrambled eggs made to order, we enjoyed every moment of our stay. We will be back for sure.
5 en septiembre 29, 2012
This B & B is really outstanding. The Gerold family, especially Helena really makes you feel like you are at home. This property is conveniently located near Munich, Garmish, Fussen and many other key tourist destinations. The rooms were clean and the breakfasts were like grandma use to make. We spent four nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The town of Bad Kohlgrub has some really nice restaurants within walking distance of the Inn. My wife and I hope to return to Guesthouse Gerold again someday soon.
5 en septiembre 05, 2012
My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. It was the best place we stayed while in Germany. The price was exceptional, especially considering all of the food and the room we had. The family was very nice and more than accomadating. The food was delicious and there was more than could possibly be eaten, even by us Americans. The beds were comfortable and the town was great. We throughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to return, should we ever be lucky enough to go back to Germany.
4,2 en agosto 02, 2012
We enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse Gerold very much. The charming hostess did her very best to ensure our time there was great. The breakfasts were excellent, the bedrooms very roomy and clean. Overall it was a great place to stay. The location was very good too. Andrea has the most charming personality and her mother was very gracious. I would most certainly recommend this guesthouse. We also enjoyed the very tasty little italian restaurant across the street.
5 en julio 11, 2012
My family and I stayed here for two nights in July and we were happy to have found this location. It's an easy 30min drive to Garmisch, 25min to Ettal, and 20min to Schloss Linderhof. The hosts were very friendly, the rooms were clean, and they even provided books in each room with local restaurant recommendations, places to go and various other helpful information. The included breakfast is the standard German sliced meat, cheese, yogurt, bread and juice...a great way to start the day. I would highly recommend this Guesthouse to others!

Io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo alloggiato in questo splendido b&b per il periodo tra il 26/05/2012 al 29/05/2012. Appena arrivati ci siamo immersi nel clima campagnolo e tranqiullo della cittadina (davvero rilassante), il posto è splendido, una via di mezzo tra tutte le attrazioni da visitare! L'accoglienza è stata speciale la mamma di Andrea non parla inglese ma si fa capire bene ed è davvero simpatica! La camera era spaziosa e pulita! La colazione abbondate e buona! In più ci sono state fornite molte informazioni sui luoghi da visitare e sui ristoranti migliori dove mangiare! Insomma è andato tutto per il meglio. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Speriamo di rivederci! Grazie Elisa&Marcello

We very much enjoyed two nights here in April 2012. The room was very nice, and came equipped with a kitchenette. The family who runs the establishment is very nice and helpful. We would return again if back in the area. Many thanks!

My husband and I just arrived in Germany and wanted a get-away. Edelweiss Lodge was booked, but I stumbled upon this treasure. The Gerold family is so nice and welcoming. The room was amazing for the price...we couldn't have had as nice a room at the resort. The breakfast was delicious and filling. Also, Frau Gerold encourages you to make sandwiches for lunch from the breakfast leftovers. I hope to stay there again on my next visit to the Bavarian region. Thank you Family Gerold!!
4,8 en abril 12, 2012
Rooms are very tidy with simple Bavarian furniture. The owner is super-friendly and helpful and at €22 in the off-season the guesthouse is the best value for money I have ever seen. Fantastic place near Garmisch, highly recommended!

Coming back so soon after my first stay, I was very much looking forward to the quiet beauty of the place, the very pleasant hostess Frau Gerold preparing the delicious breakfast and little trips to be made. The stay exceeded my high expectations ;-) It was great fun. This time my other daughter came along and on the first (snowy) day we dedided not to travel to the Hausberg of Garmisch yet but to take a little walk in the village of Bad Kohlgrub itself. Ha! We discovered that there's a beautiful pathway up to Bad Kohlgrub's own mountain, Hörnle, which has a skilift taking you up to the 1.400m summit with a phenomenal view, on clear days. There's a little ski school even. Much less crowded that the one at Garmisch. A restaurant on the summit too with warm food and warm drinks (try the hot "ski wasser", a hot sweet lemon drink). We travelled down on sleds along a pathway for sledding. WOW. This went VERY fast. My Garmin outdoors GPS showed we went almost 50 km/h ;-) When I lost my GPS (it fell from the ski lift) and I raced down to search for it, someone had found it and it was waiting at the ticket office of the ski lift operator. Lovely honest people there! Almost every evening we had dinner at the Heimgarten restaurant. Delicious Bavarian dishes, very affordable, great service. In the busier season it's best to make reservations. The village has a well stocked supermarket, a greengrocer and a little delicatessen store with lots of goodies so you can also use one of the rooms with a kitchen at the Gaestehaus to cook your own meals (pots, pans, dishes and cutlery available). With the fantastic mountain on a short walk, the Heimgarten a few steps away, the fresh coffee & home baked cake cafe across the street, a sled rental next door to it and the Gerold family taking care of your stay, it's the best value-for-money I found so far in such a feature-rich region. I will be back ;-) http://vimeo.com/36486316 http://vimeo.com/36286250

We selected this Guesthouse based on location and price as a place to stay for our 25th anniversary. This place is absolutely great. From the friendly reception to the location of the Guesthouse and its proximity to Garmisch to the charm of Bad Kohlgrub, Guesthouse Gerold exceeded all of our expectations for this, our first time stay in a bed and breakfast ever. The room, attached kitchenette, and bathroom were more than adequate for our needs and the innkeeper went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Based on our treatment, we will be utilizing this Guesthouse for many more trips to Bavaria during our five-year stay here in Germany.

Such a beautiful and tidy place. We felt home instantly and the extremely kind lady of the house made sure our rooms were cleaned while we enjoyed the excellent breakfast, such an abundance of great fresh food. We could take some along for lunch even which often saved our day while on a little trip. For the boys, the snowy Hausberg mountain was a short drive by car. We even went ice skating, great fun. There's a wonderful exquizite dining place nearby, don't forget the lady directions there. Very affordable, great food, also for vegetarians. I just got back and have made reservations for my next stay ;-)

My family and I stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time. We arrived rather late after being stuck in traffic for several hours. Andrea met us with a smile and showed us to our rooms. Breakfast was good each morning with a variety of meats, breads, yogurt, and juice/coffee. The location is good with easy drives to all of the local sites. We will certainly plan on staying here again when we travel down toward Garmish!

We make trips regularly to this area near Garmisch, and this B&B is the best we've experienced. It was not only a great value, but the room was beyond our expectations. It was very clean and tidy, the owners are extremely friendly and helpful, and the service was outstanding. We needed to arrange for an early breakfast one morning; not only was the breakfast provided in our room, but the table was cozily set and everything was provided for us. It was like having family take care of us! It's only a 30 minute drive to Garmisch, where the prices are much more expensive. We definitely plan to visit again!

We arrived later then we thought we would. The owner doesn't speak English but her daughter and son do! Her daughter met us at the door and showed us to our rooms. We had reserved 2 single rooms and a double. It was a very quiet location, we could hear a fountain from across the street. We were pleasantly surprised with the guest house being it did not have many reviews. We will definitely stay there again. The breakfast was great and everyday they offered for us to take our leftover breads with us for a snack. Don't miss out on this bed and breakfast!

Guesthouse Gerold is THE place to stay if you're going to be anywhere in Bavaria! The owner and her family were incredibly friendly, hospitable, and welcoming. The rooms and bathrooms are outstandingly clean, cozy and well furnished. Daily included breakfasts were really delicious, and included more food than I could eat in one sitting. The owner also tried to send us off with sandwiches each day. I definitely enjoyed my two night stay at this guesthouse, and will definitely come back next time in the area. Don't miss out on this fantastic guesthouse for a fantastic price!!

My friend and I spent the weekend at Guesthouse Gerold. We were absolutely delighted! Our rooms were large, warmly furnished and included integral baths. Breakfast was more than ample. I couldn't ask for anything more. The location was extremely central and allowed for easy travel to all of the local sites. I travel quite a bit and found this to be one of the best B&Bs where I've had the pleasure to stay.

My family was treated like royalty the Gerold Family Bed and Bike guest house! The owner personally walked through town to find us and welcome us. She personally arranged our bike rentals and discussed the best routes for the kids. Quiet rooms with the sound of a fountain outside our window. Central to so much to do in the Summer - but we are also considering a ski trip this winter! Excellent service and great memories!

9 Hijackers Drew Scrutiny on Sept. 11, Officials Say
by David Stout, The New York Times
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Nine of the 19 terrorists who hijacked four jetliners on Sept. 11 had been singled out for special scrutiny that morning under aviation-security guidelines, government officials said today, as they looked back sadly at what might have been.
But because their baggage contained no explosives, the hijackers were allowed to board.
None of the nine were questioned, nor was there any reason for them to be under the standards that existed on Sept. 11, the officials said, adding that things might be different if hijackers tried a similar plan today.
On Sept. 11, two hijacked planes destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, another slammed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. Altogether, about 3,000 people were killed.
All that happened even though "the system was working as it was supposed to that day," said an official familiar with aviation regulations. By that, she meant that the system was geared to prevent bombs from being smuggled on board in luggage.
"It's the Pan Am 103 mentality," Representative John L. Mica, Republican of Florida, said today, referring to the December 1988 bombing of that flight over Scotland. Mr. Mica is chairman of the aviation subcommittee of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
The suspicions and searches of Sept. 11 were first reported in The Washington Post today. Although details were sketchy, they seemed to tell a story not of ineptitude but of security procedures overtaken by new terrorist tactics.
Six of the nine hijackers had been picked out for scrutiny because they met criteria set by the Federal Aviation Administration calling for their checked-in luggage to be examined by explosive-detecting devices or searched by hand. The other three drew attention because of irregularities or ambiguities in their tickets or identification documents, the officials said.
But because their baggage passed inspection and the document irregularities were not glaring - and because airport-security workers did not know that 2 of the 19 were already being hunted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as suspected terrorists - the deadly plot was carried out to near-perfection.
The only "disappointment," from the terrorists' point of view, was that the fourth plane went down in Pennsylvania, apparently after the hijackers struggled with passengers, rather than striking some landmark. The hijackers did not use firearms, which would probably have been detected, but apparently wielded box- cutter knives of the type that were then allowed on board but are now banned.
One official said she did not know which of the 19 men were selected and at which airports. The jets that toppled the twin towers took off from Logan International at Boston; the one that struck the Pentagon took off from Dulles just outside Washington, and the jet that crashed in Pennsylvania left from Newark International.
The agency is reluctant to talk about the criteria that lead to the inspection of baggage, but some of them have become well known - paying for a ticket with cash instead of a credit card, or buying a one-way ticket to a far-off destination, for instance. (Investigators have said that at least some of the Sept. 11 hijackers paid cash for one-way tickets.)
Since Sept. 11, the F.A.A. has broadened its criteria for selecting passengers whose luggage should be inspected. It has also broadened the standards for passengers to be given extra searches at gates, over and above the standard walk-through. Under today's standards, all 19 hijackers would meet the criteria for extra scrutiny, said the official familiar with aviation security.
Congress has also approved stricter requirements for security personnel.
But she and Mr. Mica agreed that the hijackings also showed the need for agencies to share intelligence and computer information. In late August, the Central Intelligence Agency told the Immigration and Naturalization Service that it should place two Saudi Arabians, Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaq Alhazmi, on its list of people who should be denied entry into the United States. The C.I.A. thought that both of them had associated with men who plotted to bomb the destroyer Cole in Yemen in October 2000.
But Mr. Midhar and Mr. Alhazmi were already in the United States and being hunted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Even so, they used their real names in buying airline tickets and did not raise alarms. They were believed to be on the jet that struck the Pentagon.
Mr. Mica said he would press for stricter, more sophisticated airport security.
"We do need to look at the criteria and go after the bad guys and not just objects," he said. Looking for objects might not uncover, say, a plastic toothbrush honed into a knife, he said.
Stephen Push of Great Falls, Va., whose wife, Lisa J. Raines, was aboard the plane that flew into the Pentagon, called the latest disclosures about the hijackers "very disturbing."
Mr. Push said there was plenty of blame to go around, among the F.B.I., the immigration agency, the C.I.A. and airport-security workers. "Sept. 11 didn't have to happen," he said today.

Market Report / Tel Aviv Stocks Gain Ground Across the Board
Among most active stocks were Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, up 1% on turnover of NIS 91 million, and Bank Hapoalim, up 2.2% on turnover of NIS 80 million after announcing the highest profits in the Israeli banking system.
All of Tel Aviv's leading stock indexes gained ground yesterday, albeit on turnover that stayed pita-thin at a billion shekels. The benchmark TA-25 index rose 1% to 1,133 points and the broader TA-100 index climbed 1.3% to 1,013 points. Indexes tracking niches and smaller-cap companies gained more: The TA-technology index and TA-BlueTech index (think "blue chips among technology companies" ) both gained more than 1.7%. Corporate bonds were also in fashion.
Among the most active stocks were Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which gained 1% on turnover of NIS 91 million, and Bank Hapoalim, which climbed 2.2% on turnover of NIS 80 million after announcing the highest profits in the Israeli banking system: NIS 712 million for the second quarter. Israel Chemicals was third on the liveliest list with a gain of 1.1% on turnover of NIS 80 million.
Bank Leumi on the other hand lost 0.8% on turnover of NIS 74 million after admitting that quarterly profit had dropped 18%, not because of problems at the bank but because its results a year earlier had been boosted by nonrecurring income. So it goes.
Elbit Imaging stock jumped 3.2% even though the company reported that revenues sank 57% year over year to NIS 240 million. If, however, nonrecurring income of NIS 397 million last year from acquiring the controlling interest in EDT is discounted, revenues increased 37%. Net loss attributable to shareholders came to NIS 30 million. A year earlier the company had posted a net profit of NIS 226 million. Perhaps investors thought the figures would be worse.
Among the few losers on the TA-25 index yesterday was the phone company Bezeq, shares of which sank 0.7%, and oil exploration partnership Avner, which also lost 0.7%.

Twins prospect out for rest of season
Twins prospect out for rest of season
ARLINGTON -- Right-hander Kyle Gibson's Minor League season has appeared to come to an end. Gibson, the Twins' first-round pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, was placed on the disabled list at Triple-A Rochester on Thursday with a sprained ankle. But the move isn't hampering Gibson's progress as he was close to being shut down for the year anyway. The right-hander had thrown a total of 152 innings this year. Twins Minor League director Jim Rantz said earlier this month that the Twins planned to cap Gibson's workload somewhere between 150-160 innings.
The year was certainly a success for Gibson, as he moved up three levels in what was his first professional season. Gibson did not pitch at all in the Minors in 2009 after he was drafted due to a stress fracture in his right forearm. "This was a fast track for him," Rantz said. "I don't recall that happening much in the past." Injuries within the Twins system and other callups did play a role in Gibson getting a chance to pitch at Rochester. He got the call to move up since he was the guy who was pitching well and ready when a spot opened up in the Red Wings' rotation. Gibson was 0-0 with a 1.72 ERA in three starts for the Red Wings. In three combined stops between Rochester, Double-A New Britain and Class A Fort Myers, Gibson went 11-6 with a 2.96 ERA.

AMD gives Meyer $12M golden parachute
6 comments
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Advanced Micro Devices cut Dirk Meyer a $12 million severance check when it showed him the door after two and a half years as chief executive. That's not a record but clearly hits the high end of recent golden parachute payments in the semiconductor industry.
AMD revealed the $12 million pay out in a quarterly conference call today. Acting chief executive Thomas Seifert had little to say about the rationale for letting Meyer go despite several questions on the topic.
Separate reports pegged Meyer's severance package in cash payments and stock at anywhere from $8.55 million to $18 million. Before leading the company, Meyer was a top engineering manager at AMD behind its Opteron processors that drove a comeback for the company.
In a prepared statement, Seifert thanked Meyer for his efforts that left AMD a "stronger, nimbler" company. A search committee has retained an executive search firm and "we don't plan on communicating further until the search process is concluded," he added.
Several financial analysts questioned Seifert on why the board let Meyer go, pointing to press reports about disappointment AMD was not taking advantage of the rise of tablets like the Apple iPad.
"We talked about [the need for] picking up the pace for the company and improving profitability in a more aggressive manner--to reduce it to a tablet statement would be wrong," said Seifert.
He expressed disappointment with the current quarter in which AMD saw unit sales of both CPUs and graphics hold flat or decline slightly. Seifert said he expects AMD's revenues to be flat or decline slightly through the next three months despite projections the PC market as a whole will probably grow 10-11 percent in 2011.
"We have a good product portfolio, but we have to work on our go-to-market strategy," he said. "There is no deviation from our near-term priorities, it's a focus on execution-- that's my top priority," he said.
"We feel good about the shape we are in today and the momentum we have generated—[the CEO shift] was a forward-looking statement from the board," he added.
Meyer earned about $1.9 million in total compensation in 2008, well below the chip industry's high fliers and slightly below the level of chief executives at Micron, National, Nvidia and STMicroelectronics.
A study by the advocacy groups United for a Fair Economy and the Institute for Policy Studies found that the average S&P 500 CEO was paid $10.5 million in 2008, 344 times the pay of typical American workers. A separate study said severance packages are typically three times annual salary levels.
In 2008, Qualcomm's Paul Jacobs and Intel's Paul Otellini led the pack of chip makers, earning $15.4 and $12.7 million in salary, bonuses and stock respectively. They were followed by Scott McGregor of Broadcom, T.J. Rodgers of Cypress and Rich Templeton of Texas Instruments who earned $10.8, $10.4 and $9.4 million respectively, most of it in stock options.
Avanti chairman and CEO Gerald Hsu got a $20 million severance package in 2001 amid a corporate scandal. That same year, Zilog's former chief executive, Curtis Crawford, got a $10.3 million severance package.
AMD had a few bright spots in an otherwise difficult quarter. It said it is seeing upside in 32nm capacity with its foundries is sampling thousands of 32nm processors and expects to be in full production of them by June. It also said it has sold a million of its Brazos chip platforms into a range of systems beyond their target notebook market including tablets, set-top boxes and point of sale terminals.

The government is using the public as human guinea pigs by allowing cholesterol-lowering drugs to be sold over the counter, a medical journal warns today.
It follows the government's decision to make Britain first country in the world to allow over the counter sale of cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins.
Statins are currently prescribed by doctors to around 1.8m people in the UK, at a cost of £700m a year. But from July, the drug simvastatin will be sold at chemists to people at moderate risk of heart disease and available without a prescription.
Findings based on trail evidence suggested that 10mg doses of simvastatin could reduce levels of "bad" cholesterol by 27%. This was said to be associated with a reduction in risk of a major coronary event, such as a heart attack, of about a third after three years of treatment.
But medical journal the Lancet today said the risks of easily available access to statin drugs were unknown, and there was no evidence that the move would save lives.
The Lancet pointed out that there had been no trials of OTC statins for primary prevention of heart disease. Nor was there any compliance data for people taking OTC statins, which had to be used over a period of years.
It added that the hazards of OTC simvastatin were unknown, since no studies had been done in this setting. The risk of muscle diseases, although rare in trials, remained a concern.
"If the government is serious about preventing heart disease, then privatisation of that prevention is not the answer," said the Lancet.
The journal called for a surveillance system to collect evidence of benefit and risk from OTC simvastatin.
Coronary heart disease is the UK's single biggest killer. Around 275,000 people in the UK suffer a heart attack each year, according to government figures.
Meanwhile, new research published today shows that the number of people admitted to hospital with angina and chest pain in Scotland has risen by more than three-quarters in the last decade.
A report, conducted for BMJ.com, found that while admissions for heart attack had dropped by a third between 1990 and 2000, patients suffering from angina shot up by 79%. Furthermore, the number of people found to be suffering from other chest pains increased by 110%.
Data was taken from over 225,000 hospital admissions in Scotland between 1990 and 2000. Overall the numbers taken into hospital with any kind of serious heart complaint increased by 25%.
