Government of Canada Completes Assessments for 14 Additional Substances under the Chemicals Management Plan
FAQs on Batch 7 of the Chemicals Management Plan
OTTAWA - The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, and the Honourable Jim Prentice, Minister of the Environment, today released the final screening assessment reports, and, where applicable, the proposed risk management approach documents for 14 substances assessed in Batch 7 of the Chemicals Management Plan.
"Canada continues to be at the forefront of chemicals management," said Minister Aglukkaq.
"The publication of these latest assessment reports and proposed risk management approach documents underlines the Government's commitment to responsible management of chemicals and protecting the health and environment of Canadians."
"Since the Government of Canada launched the Chemicals Management Plan in 2006, we have made significant progress in managing chemical substances," said Minister Prentice.
"We have collected information on the properties and uses of chemical substances that are potentially harmful to human health and the environment, and Canadians can rest assured that we will continue to take action to manage substances of concern."
Of the 14 substances assessed in this batch, three pose a risk to human health (Michler's ketone, n-butyl glycidyl ether,and 2-butanone oxime). Michler's ketone is primarily found in Canada as a residue in paper colourants; n-BGE is used as a diluent in epoxy resins which are then used to make coatings, adhesives, binders, sealants, fillers, electrical insulation and resins; and, 2-butanone oxime is used primarily to prevent film from forming in alkyd paints, primers, varnishes and stains.
The Government is recommending that the Significant New Activity (SNAc) provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), be applied to nine of the remaining 11 substances. This provision requires that the Government is notified of any new import, manufacture, or use of these substances, and that human health and ecological risk assessments be completed prior to any new use. Two of the remaining 11 substances do not pose a risk to human health or the environment and no further action is recommended.
Notices containing summaries of the final screening assessment reports will be published in Canada Gazette, Part I, on March 6, 2010. The complete final screening assessment reports for all Batch 7 substances and the proposed risk management approach documents for the three Batch 7 substances of concern can be found on the Chemicals Management Plan website. Interested parties can submit comments on the proposed risk management approach documents until May 5, 2010.

Category Reporting in Charitable Giving: An Experimental Analysis
Harbaugh (1998a) has shown theoretically that charities can increase the size of donations by publicly acknowledging their donors using categories. In a complementary paper,using the data on the donations given by 146 lawyers to their almamater law school, Harbaugh (1998b) provided empirical support for this theoretical assertion. Essentially, being acknowledged in categories gives donors some prestige benefits. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the impact of various reporting plans as described in Harbaugh (1998a and 1998b) on the behavior of donors. Our results show that, although the category reporting plan has no significant impact on the size of donations when compared to the exact reporting plan and the no reporting plan, it does signi�ficantly alter the charitable behavior of donors. We show that the presence of a category reporting plan induces the clustering of donations on the lower boundaries of categories, which suggests that donors are motivated by prestige. We also discover that in some circumstances the presence of prestige benefi�ts crowds out the warm glow motive for giving.

All those union thugs who were rioting in Michigan Tuesday were angry about the wrong thing.
They were demonstrating -- which in union-speak means breaking things and punching people -- against Michigan's decision to become a right-to-work state.
If you believe the union spin, or the mainstream liberal media's spin, or the Obama spin, which all come from the same propaganda factory, that means Michigan no longer cares about workers, the right to organize, living wages, etc., etc.
But what Michigan's new law really means is that the voters and a majority of the politicians in the state have ...

Andy Murray will resume his Hopman Cup partnership with Laura Robson in the Olympic mixed doubles after the International Tennis Federation awarded them a place on Tuesday in the 16-team event.
The Britons played together in Perth in 2011 and enjoyed the experience. Both have won their singles here, Murray, a victor over Stanislas Wawrinka under the roof on the first day, before moving into the third round against Marcos Baghdatis on Tuesday with a straight-sets win over Jarrko Nieminen – again with the roof on.
Robson, who looked brilliant then not so convincing beating the Czech left-hander Lucie Safarova in two sets on Monday, was due to play the third seed Maria Sharapova in the second round on Centre Court later on Tuesday.
Heather Watson's match, outdoors on Court One, against the 14th seed Maria Kirilenko, of Russia, was stalled in the queue as light rain continued to bathe Wimbledon. By mid-afternoon, Centre Court was the only place accommodating Olympic patrons.

I don't know what the weather is like with you, but, here's it is a beautiful sun shiny day. So I thought that I would celebrate what looks like the beginning of the spring with making some delightful butterflies from ribbon. Ok, so I can make the butterflies but the question is.... What do I do with them once they have been made? Didn't need to think for long as I decided to put them on one of my beautiful Jute bags.
Medium Jute Shopper - Natural 300 x 150 x 400mm
I didn't stop at the butterflies though as I had to add a little lace too.
37mm Guipure Lace x 1 Metre - Ivory
The butterflies have been made with:
Pink grosgrain ribbon with funky flowers, 2m by 23mm
Apple Green Grosgrain Ribbon, 3m x 9mm
Pearl Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, 3m x 6mm
This is the result.
Here's the video of making butterflies.

Front retract is a real pain in the A..
I've spent many hours looking, thinking, trial and error and have come up with this. Wheel closes forwards and I've added a couple of locating pins to straighten the strut as it closes. Now the next challenge is to get it inside the fuse without too much hacking.
By the way, I've put on a slighter smaller front wheel and if all goes well it should retract flush or close enough with the fuse.
It can be difficult to set up right but....
If your incoming pushrod to the steering rod slider is rigid at its incoming height, the that will automatically make the leg go to straight as it folds up.
This is because (if you did all positions correct) it is then like a fixed horizontal rod, and the steering rod slider must also stay at that given height. That means the steering rod must be (eg in yours) just below the pushrod height - just the distance of the slider/clevis hole to hole. If the correct height - it stays straight. If too low...it goes a bit 'left', a bit high goes 'right' (or those in vice-versa), as it folds in.
If a servo is mounted ahead of the folding leg, then all this stuff goes BELOW the bush (not above as in yours), but the end results are all the same.
When a servo is very close, like yours, you possibly lose ability to control that pushrod to be rigidly level. eg, if the steering servo is back in the plane body, you can use a pushrod/sleeve setup and the end of the the sleeve is fixed at the nose gear end and thus sets a rigid height.
Or even if a nearby servo has enough distance to get that done in time.
On a very close servo, like yours, if you make the control horn hole a perfect fit to the pushrod, and make sure the pushrod Z bend is also an accurate 90deg in its mid section that goes in the control arm hole (or whatever angle the install needs for that Z-bend mid angle) then that will keep the pushrod at the required height to still enforce the leg to be straight on retraction. You can even use complex kinks/bends etc in the pushrod still.
F-22 pics:
Annoyingly you can't see the quite complex steering pushrod shape in the pics - the leg stays straight across its travel range. The pushod comes off the servo control horn and immeditely heads 45deg out sideways and then turns back to parallel just at the inner foam side wall - so it goes maybe 10mm outwards first. As soon as it goes parallel again, it goes 45deg 'downwards', relative to true up.down, then 45deg back to level - so again about a 10mm change in position.
This is all done to bring it into the steering slider rod at the exact required height alongside the retract so that it has that control over the leg steering STILL as it folds up. Basically it is 'steering control' - not via servo but via the pushrod controlling what HEIGHT the steering rod remains at. Because when retracted the height of the pushrod controls the rotation of the leg then. (any servo motions then are just making it slide along the steering rod)
Because I use 1.6mm pushrod wire, and drill a 1.6mm 'clean' hole' in the servo arm, and nylon is very strong really, it maintains that height position operation fine over the long term.
But even better is when you can BRACE the pushrod somewhere near the steering arm end... you can use a slotted bit of 'anything' that allows side to side freedom, but not height change. Even half way from servo the the clevis.
IF you can fit that in there - very often you can.
An issue with correcting steering ATHE END is that it can have flopped to an angle by any amount BEFORE getting to those, and already having hit the fuselage sides whilst retracting - so you really want a way that control steering to be straight ALL the way.
Extra Note:
And one more thing to aim for.... is matching the 'required pushrod height' to being mid way (approx) down the steering rod. This just so happens to be an almost 'must be' resultant of this setup anyway - but you want this so that there is enough steering rod for the slider to slide from end to end along it, before the servo steering (if you used that when retracted) drives it to one end and binds then. AND that the steering rod LENGTH is truly long enough too allow that.
Many supplied 'ready to go' retract steering arms are just a bit short, though many are JUST long enough. If not long enough... make your own to replace that.
If this is not done correctly you will get 'servo buzzing' on retraction.
A lot of WORDS needed to explain it all, but once you know this stuff it is easy and second nature to aim for in your pushrod steering setup!! A properly done pushrod steering ROCKS!! 100% solid and accurate steering and wheel retraction.... just like a real plane! LOL (pull-pull wire... super sucks!!)
Last edited by PeterVRC; Jan 27, 2013 at 09:03 PM.
PS: The F-22 does not have the added 'slotted guidance bit', because with the three 45deg steps in it, there is not enough length in the 'final straight' to the steering rod slider to fit one!
The pushrod moves something like 20mm but only has 15mm of straight left - due to the distance used by the clevis attaching etc.
The servo arm is at the rear end of the servo - but I could have hacked rearwards into the fuselage bottom another 20mm (easily), to move the servo more rearwards.
If the steering rigidity ever flounders over time I will do that then. Or V2 of the F-22 if I ever got another one, LOL.
I will start my second Meteor in a week or two (the schedule so far anyway)....
It will be 6S and I am starting to even dislike 5S !
4S... HATE big time.... useless rubbish for good EDF's (cost and battery abuse etc). Currents are just too high when decent power.
5S... quite good really, verges on adequate for the majority of cases.
6S.... ahhh, "current demand ease" for outputs equal to 5S, and even a bit more. Though it will take a bit more time to pass to get a better assessment of the pro's and cons of it all.
4S is hands down out the window. But 5S is still 'very good'. Yet to decide on any 6S problems.
Thanks Peter,
I think I understand what your'e saying and if I do understand correctly, in my picture #2 is it better for the pushrod to be parallel to the steering rod? If this is the case I can do another pushrod with the z bend in the right place to achieve this or I can fit a linkage stopper on the servo horn that will place the pushrod further away from the horn.
I've tried really hard to keep the steering rod slider to sit in the middle of the steering rod to get ample servo travel both ways when in the retracted position but as you can see in pic#2 the slider sits more to the left. If I make the steering rod any longer it will touch the retract base in open position, if I unwind the pushrod clevis to make it longer then the servo needs to be further away from the retract but back to square one in relation to the slider being more to the left instead of centre.
One thing I've found really annoying (giving me the sh!ts really) is that you cant slowly move the retract trinion by hand to see what its trying to do. Instead you have to operate the retract with power which is full open or full close which is way to fast to get a grip on whats going on. Maybe I can dig up an old retract to use as a dummy and remove the threaded shaft so the trinion can be moved be hand.
The steering arm was in my parts box, not sure where it came from originally but pretty sure it came with a set of struts that are now long gone.
Changed Z bend to linkage stopper to get servo push rod parallel to the steering rod in the retracted position. After setting it like this, the strut doesn't twist when closing (thanks Peter). I'm leaving the locating pins just in case.
Also lengthened the slider rod a few mm to just clear the strut base when extracted which provide a bit more servo travel when retracted.
Yes, that linkgage stopper would be good to allow rotation at the arm, but no height change in the pushrod.
I mentioned in the prior post.. it just geometrically works out that if your slider (of your type used - small) is in the correct spot for the folding aspect to work, then it ends up roughtly mid way of the slider rod, IF the rod is long enough. Well usually all works out close to right.
I guess part of that is how much pushrod travel you are using to steer - the greater thatis the more change the steering rod length will run out when steering if the leg is retracted.
Maybe yours has a lot of pushrod travel? Too much steering ability?
I also use an extra channel to mix from the rudder for the nose steering, and I enable/disable that from the gear swicth position too. Thus it cannot steer once the retract switch is used anyway. Fine IF you have a spare channel to 'waste' on that. (I pretty well use 8ch RX in all aircraft bar some sub 1000mm ones)
Ok, I'm happy with the front retract configuration.
Pics tell a thousand words
Have dremmelled away some foam in the nose of the fuse to slide the assembly in place from the battery tray.
Originally I was going to glue a thin piece of plywood into the fuse, then slide my retract assembly into position & secure it via screws so it can be removed if unnecessary but it is a bit awkward to do so I might just epoxy the base of the assembly into position and if I need to get something out, can cut away a section of foam from the bottom of the fuse and just glue it back.
I'll have another look tonight, might change my mind or come up with another idea.
Also have done some very light glassing inside the nose area and wheel well where I have removed a fair bit of foam.

HK Meteor - Grass Field
I'm looking at buying the HK Meteor, but where we fly is a grass oval or a gravel carpark in country Australia. I've got a HK f-86 that I can't launch for this reason - can the Meteor handle grass takeoffs or am I wasting my time?
Thks Dingo
I used to take-off from a football oval. The stock legs are just 'spring wire' and that is actually best for grass anyway. They still bend, but are easy to bend back straight as required.
So it is likely you too will be fine from grass in its stock form.
I would not want to be taking off an EDF from any dirt or gravel strip!! That would be asking for a fan disaster sooner or later!
hehe, there are videos of people hand-launching them... not too far back in this thread.
Generally a very steep upwards angle launch. Which would seem too steep for its power in many cases, but they all work.....
Holding mine, I donlt like the feel of it for a hand-launch! It feels like it would struggle, but maybe it just does it easy anyway. (900w 5S CS10 system).

Exactly two years ago today (December 30, 2011), I went for my first physical in over 10 years.
I had been suffering with a bronchial condition since Thanksgiving. By the time I went to the doctor, coughing became my predominant occupation—I could hardly work OR sleep. Only desperation and big time fear motivated me to pick up the phone. Why fear? I had packed on a lot of weight. I was out of control and my exercise program had disintegrated.
I knew the news would not be good. And sure enough, he nodded at the scale. I felt like he'd just consigned me to the gallows. 285 pounds. How had I let this happen to me?
Then, they hooked me up for an EKG. Not horrendous. Maybe there was hope. The blood-taking was next, filling vial after vial.
There I was, a bloated, miserable and coughing 285 pounds trying to be a life planner. How's that working for ya? I thought to myself. Yes, it was a time to change. For real. Forever.
Fast forward to today. My pant size is now 34, not 44. I have a regular workout schedule that includes weight and strength training, cardiovascular and yoga. My body fat went from 34% to 13%, with a goal of 10%.
I work with a nutritionist who showed me just how many calories I need to consume to achieve a healthy weight and what foods are best to avoid. I consulted with a social worker who specializes in weight-loss to help support my efforts and the "why" behind my thinking. (I think I just REALLY like food).
As a true numbers geek, I chart my eating on an app that allows me to account for exercise and food consumed. I am far from perfect—I've fallen off my horse a few times. Thankfully, it didn't take a change of clothing size to get me back on track—just an acknowledgement that my routine had changed and not for the better.
Change is not like turning a light switch on and off. It takes time and attention. Now, my Immediate gratification comes from knowing that each meal, each moment exercising, is a step toward health. As my annual physical approached, I know my blood pressure will spike as soon as the cuff gets within 6 inches of my arm, but I also know that I will not do a gallows walk to the scale.
Change is hard. But it's also rewarding—overcoming challenges feels really good. It's a series of adjustments, failures, successes and alterations. It's a process—a journey—a mixed bag of emotional experiences. But in the end, it is what we must all do to live fully, live passionately and try to enjoy the bounty of our lives. We owe it to those we care deeply about—our family, our friends, and our life mission.
So here's to failure. Here's to change. Here's to courage to take on the challenges. Oh, and by the way, I'm not coughing anymore.

Injured shoulder keeps Willingham on the bench
Injured shoulder keeps Willingham on the bench
Manager Ron Gardenhire plans to be cautious with Willingham, as he doesn't want him to re-aggravate his shoulder with less than a week left in the season.
Willingham tried to take swings before Friday's game against the Tigers but told Gardenhire he didn't feel right. Matt Carson started in his place.
"You definitely don't want him going into the offseason with shoulder problems," Gardenhire said. "With the swinging part, he's not comfortable doing that, and you don't want him going into the outfield, diving and hurting himself. You don't want him to start the offseason doing rehab. So we're going to be very careful."
Gardenhire wouldn't rule out sitting Willingham for the rest of the year just yet, saying it'll be up to Willingham.
"I'm going to go by what he says, and right now he can't play, so I don't plan on putting him out there until he says he can," Gardenhire said. "And if anyone could play, he'd play."

It was a freezing, bleak day in Buffalo. Most people who visit the old Lackawanna plant photograph the beautiful administration building, but we had some unlucky timing - some kind of official activity was stirring at the old building, perhaps a remediation or demolition study.
Skeletal structures of the coking plant hovered in the distance; black bones against the gray sky. The photo situation was terrible, my camera at the time just didn't have the latitude to capture the deep blacks of the coal-covered steel and the overcast sky... but climbing that huge conveyor sure seemed like fun!
Once at the top, we watched our friend talking to someone in a white pickup, way down on the ground. Guess the yard was still being used (oops). Time to get the hell out of there before they looked up!

1After Moses and Aaron talked to the people, they went to Pharaoh. They said, "The Lord God of Israel says, 'Let my people go into the desert so they can have a feast to honor me.'" 2But Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord? Why should I obey him? Why should I let Israel go? I don't even know who this Lord is, so I refuse to let Israel go." 3Then Aaron and Moses said, "The God of the Hebrew people has talked with us. So we beg you to let us travel three days into the desert. There we will offer a sacrifice to the Lord our God. If we don't do this, he might become angry and destroy us. He might make us die from sickness or war." 4But Pharaoh said to them, "Moses and Aaron, you are bothering the workers. Let them do their work! Go mind your own business! 5There are very many workers, and you are keeping them from doing their jobs." 6That same day, Pharaoh gave a command to make work harder for the people of Israel. Pharaoh said to the slave masters and Hebrew foremen, 7"You have always given the people straw and they use it to make bricks. But now, tell them they have to go and find their own straw to make bricks. 8But they must still make the same number of bricks as they did before. They have become lazy. That is why they are asking me to let them go. They don't have enough work to do. That is why they asked me to let them make sacrifices to their God. 9So make these people work harder. Keep them busy. Then they will not have enough time to listen to the lies of Moses." 10So the Egyptian slave masters and the Hebrew foremen went to the people of Israel and said, "Pharaoh has decided that he will not give you straw for your bricks. 11You must go and get the straw for yourselves. So go and find straw. But you must still make as many bricks as you made before." 12So the people went everywhere in Egypt looking for straw. 13The slave masters forced the people to work even harder. They forced the people to make as many bricks as before. 14The Egyptian slave masters had chosen the Hebrew foremen and had made them responsible for the work the people did. The Egyptian slave masters beat these foremen and said to them, "Why aren't you making as many bricks as you made in the past? If you could do it then, you can do it now!" 15Then the Hebrew foremen went to Pharaoh. They complained and said, "We are your servants. Why are you treating us like this? 16You won't give us any straw, but you tell us to make as many bricks as before. And now our masters are beating us. Your people are wrong for doing this." 17Pharaoh answered, "You are lazy. You don't want to work. That is why you ask me to let you go. And that is why you want to leave here and make sacrifices to the Lord. 18Now, go back to work! We will not give you any straw! And you must still make as many bricks as you did before!" 19The Hebrew foremen knew they were in trouble. The foremen knew they could not make as many bricks as they made in the past. 20When they were leaving the meeting with Pharaoh, they passed Moses and Aaron. Moses and Aaron were waiting for them. 21So they said to Moses and Aaron, "You really made a mistake when you told Pharaoh to let us go. May the Lord punish you because you caused Pharaoh and his rulers to hate us. You have given them an excuse to kill us." 22Then Moses prayed to the Lord and said, "Master, why have you done this terrible thing to your people? Why did you send me here? 23I went to Pharaoh and said the things you told me to say. But since that time he has been mean to the people. And you have done nothing to help them!"

Births in Scottish Hospitals
The data presented here are mainly obtained from the Scottish Morbidity Record 02 (SMR02) submitted by maternity hospitals to ISD, who have collected this information since 1975.
A wide range of information is collected on the SMR02 - some of which are detailed below:
- mother - age, height, smoking history, previous obstetric history.
- birth - induction, analgesia, method of delivery, outcome.
- baby - apgar score, sex, gestation, weight.
Although there is no legal requirement to submit these data to ISD, the level of submission falls only slightly short of the known total number of births occurring each year. As a result, Scotland has some of the best information on pregnancy and births available anywhere in the world.
The information published below is based on births in hospital by financial year. Further background information can be found on our background notes pages.
The information published below is based only on those births in hospital up to year ending 31st March 2015. Further background information can be found on our background notes pages.

Getting Real
Who will replace Mourinho? Could Messi cope in England? Guillem Balague talks La Liga...
Last Updated: 14/01/13 4:13pm
What a wonderful game Barcelona played against Malaga.
It was superb on so many levels; the consistency of the tempo, the way they went for their third goal and the way they achieved control of the ball, all the time.
Malaga did really well apart from the Ignacio Camacho mistake for the first goal, but while they did really well for the first 40 minutes or so, Barcelona kept going and going and going and you have to say that they looked better than they did last year under Pep Guardiola.
I think people are forgetting that during the first three years of Guardiola there were aspects that were extraordinary, like the Club World Cup win against Santos, for instance, and the Champions League final against Manchester United.
That can be dismissed so quickly by people, but certainly Tito Vilanova, after a few months, has balanced things out and has tried to create a collective sense that was missing at the beginning of the season. He's doing that by adding layers.
I must admit that at the beginning of the campaign I thought he was trying to produce a different kind of Barcelona. In fact he's succeeded at that, so you've got the Barcelona of Guardiola still present, in terms of the positional game and in terms of passing, but also they can now play very direct. That kind of dichotomy now works very fluently.
As for Real Madrid, people are saying in Spain that football is a state of the mind and Real have lost competitiveness in La Liga because they have given up on it.
You could see a lot of clues in the body language of Jose Mourinho, who didn't even get upset at Kaka's sending off. You could see it in the substitutions, like playing Kaka, who he doesn't trust any more. You could see it towards the end of the game when the team just dropped deep and there was not really anybody trying to push the team forward or trying to look for a reaction, they weren't biting.
It's the kind of attitude you have when you know you're playing for nothing. The problem is raising the level when they need to. All the coaches I've been talking to about this suggest that you need to keep a very high level to then play Manchester United at your best and they don't seem to understand that or they don't seem to be able to do that.
That's a frustration for Jose Mourinho certainly.
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it to firstname.lastname@example.com or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
Hi Guillem. If Mourinho leaves in the summer who do you think will get the job? Will it be Carlo Ancelotti, Rafa Benitez or Marcello Lippi? Do you think there is any chance of Vicente Del Bosque coming back to Real Madrid? Thanks, David Fullam
GUILLEM REPLIES: Benitez has a got a couple of very good friends in the hierarchy at Real Madrid and I am sure he will be one of the ones approached. Lippi has said he doesn't want to come to Real Madrid and Ancelotti sounds like the kind of coach Real Madrid will go for as well, especially because Ancelotti feels his cycle at PSG may be finished early. I have heard, but it's only a rumour, that PSG may approach Jose Mourinho or Arsene Wenger for the job which will be interesting because it will create a fascinating domino effect. Del Bosque will definitely not come back to Real Madrid as long as Florentino Pérez is there. He was the one who got rid of Del Bosque or didn't renew his contract because he felt he represented a very old-fashioned way and Real Madrid needed a new notebook. Those are exactly the words used by one of the directors there when they decided not to renew Del Bosque's contract.
Hi Guillem, I always look forward to your La Liga analysis, very incisive. With all the health problems that Tito has been facing, has any concerns arisen in the Barca hierarchy with regards to his continuation next season or has anyone been shortlisted to replace him in the worst case scenario if Tito, understandably, decides to take a back seat in a less-demanding role at the club? Pradeep Shenoy
GUILLEM REPLIES: There is no question about looking for a plan B for Tito. It is obviously worrying that he's had to go to New York for a second opinion, but everybody is going to back him up and in the meantime both his assistants and especially the players take charge of the team when he's not there.
Guillem, Do you think that Lionel Messi would be able to stick the play in the Premier League? You see teams in the Premier League go in for tackles to rattle the opposition which is something that is missing from La Liga and if the opposition were to go in hard on Messi, I do not believe he would be as good as he is at the minute in terms of scoring so many goals! Alan
GUILLEM REPLIES: I can't believe this is a serious question. Messi is not just the best player in the world now, he's the best player in the world ever - and if he's not then he's very close to it. That means you can do it anywhere. On this tackling argument, what I'm seeing is the team at the top of the Premier League have conceded 29 goals this season and in seven out of the last 10 seasons the winners of the Premier League have conceded 29 goals or less at the end of the season. So what I'm seeing is not very good defences, so I'm not very sure where this strict defence in comparison to La Liga is. Messi would have no problem whatsoever adapting to any league in the world.
Hello Guillem, I am in the middle of reading your very good biography about Pep. In the book you write how Barcelona moved Eto'o, Bojan and Zlatan away from the club in order to allow Leo to grow as a player. My question is, do you think the club is in the process of doing the same with David Villa? I think although Pedro works very hard for the team, him nor Sanchez has the same quality as Villa. I'm also wondering if there is another reason Villa doesn't play much, is he becoming a bad influence like Ronaldinho, Deco and Motta were? Or is there any truth that Villa and Messi are not friends? I hear they are neighbours. Haha. I Look forward to your reply, and keep up the great punditry. Good luck to Espanyol for the remainder of the season, really hope they stay up after moving to the Cornela. Adios. Cari
GUILLEM REPLIES: Yes basically, what's happening with Villa is a little bit like what's happened to the other strikers. You have to submit logically to Messi and his talent and Pedro and Alexis adapt better because Villa, after all, is a striker. He wants to score, he's got the goal in his head and Messi prefers another kind of player next to him. But Villa is one of the loveliest guys in football, not a bad influence at all.
Hi Guillem. In the light of what happened to Henry, Ibrahimovic and now Villa once they moved to Barca, do you think top class strikers (Falcao, Neymar) might think twice about going to Barca because of the effect Messi might have on them? Abhay Tavaragiri
GUILLEM REPLIES: Well Neymar is coming to Barcelona; he wants to play in the best team in the world and he wants to play next to Messi. He accepts that everything goes around Messi and, as I say in my book, Messi was asked about signing Neymar and he agreed that it would be a good signing so it's all happy there. Falcao will not be signed by Barcelona because he would have to change his style at Barcelona and he doesn't suit that style.

Interview question for those who have been through it
I applied for the PNP/DNP program at University of Missouri (columbia). I got the call today for an interview!!!! I'm excited but worried. I know its not a gaurantee of acceptance, but what do you think the chances are of going through an interview and being accepted??? I'm not the greatest an interviewing, I don't respond well with off the wall questions. What types of things do they ask that I might be able to prepare for??? So nervous!!!!!Mar 13, '12Practice some of the basic questions that are asked in every interview...
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. What made you interested in applying here?
3. What would your co-workers say about you?
4. Tell me about your greatest accomplishment, and a project that went terribly wrong.
5. How did you react to the project that went terribly?
6. Tell me about your best and worst qualities.
7. What would you do if you had a student who was being ...
...and so on...
Google "common questions during interviews" for more examples.
You said you don't handle "off the wall"comments well -- if this is a teaching position (sounds like it is), I'm guessing you may get quite a few off the wall questions from students (?).
Don't forget to smile, exchange pleasantries, and be confident.
Good luck! Hope it goes well!Mar 19, '12excellent questions! thanks!!!! not planning on teaching....for now anyways. just getting the DNP because of the new requirements. i would probably have gone for a DNP anyways though to further my career and open up news doors past being a PNP.Mar 23, '12I just finished up with my interview. I felt very prepared and felt like I answered all of the questions with pretty good responses. But, I'm just worried I didn't say anything that would make me stand out over the other applicants. That was actually one of the questions, and I don't think I had a stellar answer. I felt very composed and articulate. I really did the best that I could have hoped for, I was imagining much worse. Decisions will be sent out mid April. Although I feel like I did well, I still don't feel confident that I will make it. :/Mar 23, '121. How would you handle differing culture values different from yours?
2. Is this the only school you applied to?
3. Why (name of school) when you completed your undergrad from (other school)?
4. Why (PNP, AGNP, FNP, etc)?
5. What do you plan to do with you degree after you finish?
6. How do you learn best?
7. Are you willing to travel to clinical sites far from where you reside?
8. What would you do if somebody in a group project is not contributing work?
9. What do you do if you felt you deserve a better grade because you worked hard on a paper?
10. What would you do if you have other methods of treatment other than your preceptor? How are you going to approach that?
11. What are your plans if you do not get into graduate school?
12. How do you deal with conflict? Give an example.
13. Is there a time when your values differ from your boss?
14. How do you plan to finance your education?
15. Describe your support system.
16. How do you plan to contribute to (name of school)?
17. Tell me about your nursing background.
18. Tell me about yourself.
19. What are your long-term goals? short-term?
20. What are your strengths? weaknesses?
There are more, these are all that I remembered. I wrote them all down immediately right after the interview.Last edit by iMACRN2FNP on Mar 23, '12 : Reason: add infoJan 9, '14Hi, I'm going to apply in May for the FNP for the PNP what type of nursing experience(years and departments) do you have?Jan 10, '14Quote from creyes97What? The FNP for PNP?Hi, I'm going to apply in May for the FNP for the PNP what type of nursing experience(years and departments) do you have?Jan 27, '16iMACRN2FNP You are amazing. Thank you greatly for taking the time out not only to write these questions, but to share them. My interview is in a month. Much appreciated!Last edit by Chic88 on Jan 27, '16 : Reason: I didn't direct the message to the correct individualJan 30, '16I think a lot of people are nervous about interviews; I was. Interviewed less than 2 weeks ago for U of MD's DNP program and found out I got accepted yesterday. I spent time preparing for my interview, and I feel it paid off because afterwards the interviewer told me it was a great interview. Here's what I learned: dress professionally. I know some people don't believe you need to dress up, but it does make a difference. If you are a man, wear a suit, or at least a jacket and tie. For us ladies either a suit of a dress/skirt with a blazer. One of the easiest and cheapest things you need to wear is a confident smile. Look interviewers in the eye, pay attention, and shake hands with a firm grip. Remember their names, and always send a note or email afterwards thanking them for their time, but also summarizing why you are the perfect candidate.
I studied common grad school questions and practiced answering them in front of a mirror so I would know how my face looked. Try not to memorize though, you don't want to sound like you're reciting. I did not get all the questions that IMACRN did, thankfully . However, some of them were on the list. I think everyone asks "Tell me about yourself," and about your greatest accomplishment. This is the part where you really get to sell yourself. Let them know why your are special. If it's like other places I have seen, they will see many other applicants that day. You need to make an impression.
I also got asked why they should pick me over another candidate. I used this space to show how much I knew about the program and faculty. I researched faculty members for professors doing work that would interest me, and mentioned them by name during the interview. I mentioned that I wanted to go to a top school, and that UMD is #6 in the country (according to US News and World Reports) and that I liked their mission statement. It helps to really research the school for two reasons: firstly, you want to make sure it's a good fit for you, also interviewers want to know you are truly interested.
I also came prepared with questions to ask them. They should be questions that cannot be answered by looking on the website. That makes you look like you haven't researched the program. I asked 5 questions I had written down beforehand, one of them was what makes their program stand out compared to other programs. The interviewer said it was a good question and gave me a thoughtful response.
The bottom line is to prepare, relax and be your best self. Hope this helps someone. Good luck!

"The Procussions" – The Procussions (Stro The 89th Key & Mr. J Medeiros
Purchase "The Procussions" HERE
It's been quite a while since The Procussions (Stro The 89th Key & Mr. J Medeiros) dropped their last LP, "5 Sparrows For Two Cents", over 7 years (!) ago to be exact. Released via the Rawkus imprint, "5 Sparrows.." found Rez (Resonant) along for the ride, whereas The Procussions' recently released LP finds Stro and Mr. J as a duo holding down the fort. The Procussions also released a self-titled EP near the end of March this year, which cleverly enough, is the first 5 songs featured on the LP. So if you purchased the EP back in March, you can now cop the remainder of the LP for a slight over 5 bones via Itunes. Confused yet? Well, don't be as I'm here to tell you that Stro & Mr. J's self-titled LP is one of the most solid, well-executed LPs that you'll have the pleasure of enjoying in 2013.
The Procussions, often considered thought-provoking rappers, sit somewhere in the middle, comfortably settled in between underground and conscious Hip Hop. On this LP, you won't hear one single expletive, on the same token, much of the production on the LP is some of the hardest that I've heard this year. Stro's production is crisp, dense and bass heavy, catering to Mr. J's aggressive delivery and Stro's own unique voice, quite nicely. No joke, Stro's drums on the majority of the cuts on this LP simply KNOCK!! Hitting you with a dose of back to back dopeness, "Badges" and "Insomnia" absolutely murder the trunk, as does the fittingly titled "The Drum" which also boasts a lyrical appearance from Blame One. Simply put the only weak link production-wise on the LP is "Track 10″ which is a track that is simply a parody of mainstream radio and is quite tongue in cheek, not to be taken very seriously.
Lyrically, Mr. J carries much of the weight on this LP, with Stro popping up on occasion to add some flavor to the mix. Heck, on "Today" Stro actually delivers my favorite verse on the LP, stealing the show from the always dope, Shad. However, Mr. J deserves his props, as much of his lyrics are filled with depth, introspection, insight and at times, playfulness. It's obvious that Mr. J has "lived" and learned a lesson or three along the way, dude is highly underrated. While much of Mr. J's work since "Of Gods & Girls" (released in '06 as well) has been somewhat underwhelming to me, dude definitely stepped it up a notch on "The Procussions". On uptempo cuts such as the aforementioned "Badges" (my favorite cut on the LP), "Insomnia" and the previously released "The Fringe", Mr. J rides Stro's funky production effortlessly. The pairing of Stro and Mr. J is a match made in heaven on this LP, I hope the duo captures some of the shine they are so deserving of in 2013.
Bottom Line, this album is in contention for my favorite of 2013. While there's no true "stand out" this year that blows away the rest of the pack, there has been some consistency and 2013 is shaping up to be one of the best years in Hip Hop in quite some time.

2014 Summer Graduate Course Descriptions
AML 6305: Philip Roth
Professor Furman
The winner of two National Book Awards, two National Book Critics' Circle Awards, three PEN/Faulkner awards and the Pulitzer Prize, among other literary awards and prizes, Philip Roth is arguably the most important American novelist of the past fifty years. In 2006, The New York Times Book Review surveyed prominent writers and critics to ask them to identify "the single best work of American fiction published in the last 25 years." Of the 22 books selected, 6 of them were written by Philip Roth. In our graduate seminar, we will read most of these important works of fiction, and others, including Goodbye, Columbus, Portnoy's Complaint, The Counterlife, The Ghost Writer, Operation Shylock: A Confession, The Plot Against America, and American Pastoral. We will also explore important criticism on Roth. Assignments will include an annotated bibliography and a short paper.
This course counts within the area of specialization, post-1900, of the American Literature Area of Concentration.
ENL 6934: Victorian Regional Fiction
Professor Buckton
While the huge success of London-based novelists such as Charles Dickens and William Thackeray brought global literary attention to England's capital, a number of major Victorian novelists were busy exploring and representing other, in some cases remote, regions of the British Isles. Influenced by Maria Edgeworth and Walter Scott, Victorian novelists such as the Brontë sisters, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, and Robert Louis Stevenson created a vogue for fiction set in regions such as the Yorkshire moors, the Industrial north of England, Wessex (Hardy's name for the West Country of England), and the Scottish Highlands. This course will investigate the causes and study major literary examples of the Victorian enthusiasm for regional fiction, and explore its connections with the historical romance and the "condition of England" novel. Novels to be studied may include Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton, Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native, and Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped. Course requirements include an in-class presentation and a research paper that engages with primary works and with critical discourse about regional fiction.
This course counts within the area of specialization, post-1800, of the British Literature Area of Concentration.

First time director Oren Moverman, who also co-wrote with Alessandro Camon, crafts an excellent debut feature with The Messenger, the riveting dramatic story of a 'war hero' returning to his homeland after finishing his tour of duty in Iraq. When we first meet Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery (Ben Foster) he's happy to be home. He even reunites with his ex-girlfriend, Kelly (Jena Malone) for a welcome back trip to the bedroom for old times' sake. Will soon finds himself with a rather unusual assignment, however - he's asked to work as part of the U.S. Army's Casualty Notification department. Will's a little put off by his new duties, as telling someone that the family member they love has been killed in duty can't be an easy task, but he accepts it and is introduced to Sergeant Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson), a soldier a bit older than himself who has some experience in this department under his belt.
Will is given a pager and a script that he's told to memorize and soon enough, he's accompanying Stone as they drive to different locations to act, as the title implies, as messengers. He's taught the basics of the job - to always stick to the script, to never touch the person you're telling the news to or offer a hug, and to always make sure that the only person you talk to is the next of kin. While he acclimates to his new duties, he finds himself searching for meaning in his new life, dealing with some of the guilt that he's carried home from his tour of duty, and just generally trying to readjust. At the same time, he and Stone develop an unlikely friendship, but not as unlikely as the relationship that sprouts between Will and the widow of one of the recently deceased soldiers he was sent to announce, Olivia Pitterson (Samantha Morton).
Foster, cast here as a leading man for the first time in his career, excels here. You can completely understand his frustration and his rage and when it finally does unload in a few interesting scenes, you're not so much shocked or surprised as you are relieved. His on screen chemistry with Harrelson, who rightfully got an Oscar nomination for his work here, is never less then completely believable and the pair play off of one another's strengths incredibly well. Equally impressive is Samantha Morton, and while she doesn't get as much screen time as her two male counterparts, she's an understandably sympathetic character and her presence throws an interesting dynamic into the mix. Memorable supporting performances from Jena Malone and Steve Buscemi round out the cast nicely and The Messenger turns out to be one of the best acted films of 2009.
Moverman presents the film without the need for flashy editing or effects. The visuals are always rather simple, but at the same time, wholly effective. The film rests on the strength of its script and its cast and detracting from those two qualities would have done the finished project a disservice. The picture manages to move gracefully from hard hitting drama to black comedy quite easily without disrupting its flow - a perfect example is a scene in a bar where Will hears a soldier, freshly returned from a tour of duty, tell a story about an Iraqi man he knew there. It starts out as crass, funny, even racist, but soon turns into something of genuine sadness and quite literally shatters the previously jovial mood. This is a theme that Moverman uses throughout the film as we periodically shift between amusing scenes between Foster and Harrelson into segments that realistically show the effects of their duties. The sense of sorrow, grief and loss displayed in the film can be enveloping, but thankfully it isn't overwhelming.
Visually there isn't much to write home about here - the film is shot around an army base so there's a lot of cookie cutter housing and grim colors and much of the film takes place inside these houses - but the film is a stand out piece of filmmaking that manages to offer up a compelling look at life and death without harboring on political issues or cramming an agenda down the audience's throat. It's emotionally trying at times but more importantly it's intelligent and treats its audience equally. If nothing else, it'll make you feel and it'll make you think.
The Messenger debuts on Blu-ray in a 1080p 2.35.1 high definition AVC encoded anamorphic widescreen transfer that is consistently film like. This isn't a movie that makes use of eye popping colors, in fact much of it has been rendered in earth tones and drab hues, but that doesn't come at the cost of detail. Facial close ups fare the best, showing every crevice, line, pore and wrinkle while texture is very finely detailed which you'll notice in the various uniforms on display and in less obvious spots like the curtains in the background during the scene that plays out in Olivia's humble kitchen. The film looks intentionally soft sometimes and the filmmaker's have definitely taken a minimalist approach to creating the look used in the picture, but in the context of the story and the tone that they're going for, it works really well and this Blu-ray release renders it all extremely well.
Oscilloscope's package also includes a standard definition DVD release of the film which presents the picture in 2.35.1 anamorphic widescreen in a nice progressive scan transfer that looks just fine but which obviously doesn't offer the depth, detail and range that the Blu-ray disc provides.
While this isn't the type of film that will rock your home theater system, the English language DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track definitely gets the job done. This is a very front heavy mix with surrounds used primarily for the score and for background and ambient noise - you'll notice it during the engagement party and during the scenes that take place in the bar - but it all sounds clean, clear and well balanced. There are no problems with hiss or distortion at all and dialogue is always easy to follow and understand. There aren't a lot of sound effects here but those that are worked into the film have a nice punch to them, and you'll pick up on that during the twenty-one gun salute that takes place during the funeral scene. An English language PCM 2.0 Stereo track is also offered and it too sounds quite good, if not as full as the 5.1 track does. Subtitles are provided in English only.
The extras start off with a commentary track that includes Director/Co-writer Oren Moverman, Producer Lawrence Inglee and lead actors Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson. There's a bit of dead air here and there that kind of slows things down but overall this is an interesting look into how the actors in particular approached their performances for this film. A fair bit of the film was actually improvised but you'd never know it from watching the film. Moverman talks about where his inspiration came and why he wanted to make this picture and also talks about the look and atmosphere he was going for, while Harrelson and Foster talk about their working relationships with the rest of the team and what it was like preparing for their work on this project.
There are also two featurettes included on the disc, the first of which is Going Home: Reflections From The Set. At roughly twelve minutes this could have been longer and still remained interesting as it features interviews with all of the key cast members as well as the director and a few of the crew members alongside some interesting footage shot on set while the feature was still being made. Lengthier is the twenty-seven minutes Variety Q&A session in which Moverman is joined on stage by Harrelson and Foster to field questions from the audience. The touch on the film's themes and politics and discuss the making of the movie in quite a bit of detail. The second featurette is in HD, the first in standard definition.
Rounding out the extras is a trailer for the feature, trailers for a few other Oscilloscope releases, animated menus and chapter stops. The DVD version of the movie contains the same extras as the Blu-ray version, albeit with the inclusion of a twenty-five minute short film called Notification, which was co-directed by the late Joe Kelly who sadly passed away in January of 2010. This telling documentary is made up of interviews with the U.S. Army's Casualty Notification Officers and members of the Casualty Assistance department who explain what it is they do, and their approach to dealing with the difficulties that their job entails. Also included in the documentary are interviews with family members of soldiers who were lost in the war, who detail their experiences and give their thoughts on how the Army handles these situations. It's emotionally stirring at times and interesting in that it sheds some light on an aspect of military life that many of us don't really know very much about. The DVD version also includes a PDF version of the film's shooting script accessible by way of a DVD-Rom drive.
As seems to be the norm with Oscilloscope releases, the release is nicely packaged using recycled materials. The two discs fit inside a foldable booklet containing a brief essay on the film which in turns fits inside a slipcase that ultimately fits nicely inside an O-ring. It's maybe not a big deal to some, but it's a nice touch.
The Messenger is a powerful and thought provoking film that is both expertly directed and incredibly well acted. It doesn't beat you over the head with politics or with an agenda, instead it tells a simple story and explores some interesting relationships through clever writing and effectively minimalist filmmaking. Oscilloscope's Blu-ray/DVD combo package is a good one, sporting a strong transfer, an effective sound mix, nice packaging and a welcome array of interesting and informative supplements. Highly recommended.

Boston: A 15-year-old Indian boy on a visit to Los Angeles as part of an educational tour has gone missing last week.
Lovedeep Singh was last seen on the morning of June 23 and authorities are seeking the public's assistance in finding the boy.
Authorities said while the circumstances surrounding Singh's disappearance are unclear, "there is currently no evidence of foul play".
"As each day passes, our concern heightens," said Darnell Davenport, commanding officer of detectives in the Police Department's Southwest Division. Davenport said his department was concerned that Singh, who has a substantial amount of money in his pocket, "befriended someone over the Internet and maybe they came and picked him up".
"He doesn't really speak English. Where would he go? Who would he communicate with? Where would he stay every night? He is 15 years old," Davenport added.
The Los Angeles Police Department said Singh speaks Hindi and "knows limited English," the Los Angeles Times reported.
Singh and his 10-year-old brother were part of a group of about 30 people who had arrived from India for an educational trip that was to include tourist spots in California.
It was Singh's first visit to Los Angeles and he is not familiar with the area, authorities said.
Five LA detectives flew to San Francisco to interview members of Singh's tour group at the Indian Consulate.

Like the idea, must think how to adapt this for a reel behind the printer. It does solve the problem of the filament rubbing against the top threaded rods nicely.

– An Australian movie fan who imported three model space guns based on the film "Alien" was Monday locked in battle with police and customs officers, who claim they are prohibited weapons.
In the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal member Peta Stilgoe expressed understanding about collector Mark Hamish Beckett's frustration with bureaucracy — but found she did not have the authority to rule on his case.Stilgoe said Beckett considered the guns to be artifacts, pieces of movie memorabilia, or perhaps novelty items — but not weapons in any real sense of the word.
The police, without the benefit of an inspection, had classified them as weapons.
The story does not say where Mark was taking the stuff. I assume a convention of some kind…and I know this isn't *exactly* movie news, but it's one of those days- and we can all learn from this. When travelling, don't take your M41 pulse rifles with you.
Note: it should also be said that the weapons seen in the films are actual retrofitted modifications of existing guns, such as the smart guns some of the Aliens' marines carried (German MG-42 machine guns) so it's possible to see where the confusion can start.

Environmentalists Criticize Drilling Rules
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Environmental advocates were among dozens of witnesses lining up to testify Monday on a bill laying out Ohio's new regulations for horizontal shale drilling and the use of renewable energy.
The testimony before the House Public Utilities Committee was part of a debate on a wide-ranging energy bill that passed the Ohio Senate last week with support of Republicans and some Democrats.
Concern remains among environmental groups.
The bill requires that well operators disclose chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, a technique that involves the high-pressure injection of water and chemicals into the ground to split rock apart and release natural gas or oil. Environmentalists say details will be scant, however, and reporting will come only after wells have been drilled.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, meanwhile, has criticized the bill for removing the public's ability to appeal state-issued drilling permits.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says the rules are among the toughest in the nation.
Ohio senators passed the new energy bill Tuesday, sending it to the House.
Besides creating the new hydraulic fracturing rules, it adjust Ohio's renewable energy standard to include waste heat such as that generated from factory smokestacks.
Supporters said the bill balances environment, public health and safety, and commerce by expanding chemical disclosure and water testing requirements.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, backs the bill as a responsible compromise between environmental protection and policies friendly to the state's developing shale drilling industry.
It requires well operators to disclose the location they'll draw water from for blasting into the well, as well as the rate and volume at which they'll withdraw it.
The legislation further requires well operators to disclose all chemicals that will come into contact with human water supplies during the drilling operation, though not the specific recipe. Water samples must also be taken at all wells within 1,500 feet of any proposed horizontal well.
But environmental groups say the legislation is riddled with loopholes.
Rick Sahli, an environmental lawyer with the Natural Resources Defense Council, said language in the bill allows well operators to report water withdrawal data "to the best of their knowledge," for example.
It retains an Ohio "mandatory pooling" law that gives drillers the opportunity to access oil and gas under a landowners' property against their will, if enough neighbors agree to it to satisfy a state review board.
Sahli said a provision prohibits medical professionals who access proprietary chemical information about the wells from disclosing that information outside of treating individual patients. He said the wording would prevent a doctor from alerting local health departments and first responders.
