Pain (Patient)
This patient summary on pain is adapted from the summary written for health professionals by cancer experts. This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing clinical trials is available from the National Cancer Institute. Pain associated with cancer can be controlled in most patients but is frequently undertreated. This brief summary describes the management of cancer pain with the use of medication, physical methods, and psychological intervention.
This summary is about pain in adults with cancer.
Cancer pain can be managed effectively in most patients with cancer or with a history of cancer. Although cancer pain cannot always be relieved completely, therapy can lessen pain in most patients. Pain management improves the patient's quality of life throughout all stages of the disease.
Flexibility is important in managing cancer pain. As patients vary in diagnosis, stage of disease, responses to pain and treatments, and personal likes and dislikes, management of cancer pain must be individualized. Patients, their families, and their health care providers must work together closely to manage a patient's pain effectively.
To treat pain, it must be measured. The patient and the doctor should measure pain levels at regular intervals after starting cancer treatment. Checks should be done at each clinic visit, at each new report of pain, and after starting any type of treatment for pain. The cause of the pain must be identified and treated promptly.
Patient Self-Report
To help the health care provider determine the type and extent of the pain, cancer patients can describe the location and intensity of their pain, any aggravating or relieving factors, and their goals for pain control. The family/caregiver may be asked to report for a patient who has a communication problem involving speech, language, or a thinking impairment. The health care provider should help the patient describe the following:
Physical Exam
The assessment will include an exam of the body to check general signs of health or anything that seems unusual, and to look for signs that the cancer has grown or spread. A history of the patient's health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken. A neurological exam will be done. This is a series of questions and tests to check the brain, spinal cord, and nerve function. The exam checks the patient's mental status, ability to move and walk normally, and how well the muscles, senses, and reflexes work. The patient's psychological and spiritual well-being are evaluated. A personal and family history of substance abuse is taken. All of this information is taken as a whole to diagnose and treat the pain effectively.
Assessment of the Outcomes of Pain Management
The results of pain management should be measured by monitoring for a decrease in the severity of pain and improvement in thinking ability, emotional well-being, and social functioning. The results of taking pain medication should also be monitored. Drug addiction is rare in cancer patients. Developing a higher tolerance for a drug and becoming physically dependent on the drug for pain relief does not mean that the patient is addicted. Patients should take pain medication as prescribed by the doctor. Patients who have a history of drug abuse may tolerate higher doses of medication to control pain.

The viewers of Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki on Colors were in for a surprise when Tanu was declared dead and revived as Tanuja. The fans of the show can't have enough of Rishi and Tanuja's chemistry and have been excitedly waiting for the two love birds to unite and live happily.
But something dramatic has to keep happening every time Rishi and Tanu come close together and in the upcoming episodes, Tanuja will learn about her past life!
Tanuja will happen to visit the same temple where the old woman had predicted that Rishi and Tanu will always be together come what may. (Their souls will always find ways to unite, while alive or dead!)
To add to all of this, she will start getting glimpses of her past life, the relationship and all the special moments she shared with Rishi. Not only that, she will also meet the same old woman and will question her as to what is happening with her and why?
Tanuja will soon come to know that she was Tanu in her previous life and Rishi was her 'prince charming'. It will be interesting to see how the story tunes in from here.

With just more than a week to go before the official launch of BlackBerry 10, RIM has officially flicked the switch and implemented the new name for its store — it's dropped the word 'app' from BlackBerry App World and gone with a more open BlackBerry World. And because it's not all just about apps anymore, it has also taken the opportunity to reiterate that its store will soon be stocked with music, TV shows and movies for download, along with the usual apps and games.
In an official blog post, BlackBerry said the "change reflects a shift in the type of things you can purchase from the store as we transition to BlackBerry 10 and beyond". The changes have already hit the web version of the store, but will only start rolling out to BlackBerry PlayBook and smartphone users in the coming weeks.
The company didn't give details about exactly when the new multimedia content (which will be "limited in some regions") would be available, simply saying it plans to be the "one-stop shop for all of your mobile entertainment needs".
It has also been hard at work making sure the amount and variety of apps available is substantial, hosting 'port-a-thons' to encourage developers to easily convert their apps to run on BlackBerry devices — at one weekend-long event, it received 15 000 app submissions.

Gone are the roaming AI animals who used to stalk and prey in packs and on other packs if they crossed paths.
No more richly decorated rooms with tons of items to nick.
Gathering (herbs,items,gold) in general has been reduced
Hunting is no longer a skill and can be done through tools you buy/ find
No longer do different ores create different armors/weapons
Sneaking is incredibly easy (and strange) since people are no longer really sleeping in their beds as much as laying down waiting for morning
The npc interactions with each other is almost nil and daily activities means most npcs shops are outside their huts/houses. They never move more than 15ft from bed to work.
Most skill animations are gone (sawing, woodchopping, skinning, etc) and replaced with mini games (drinking, some sort of skee shooting)
These sort of things were kind of the 'magic' of PB games- and when removed from the game it's much less easier to forgive the some of the games very blatant shortcomings:
As for the game, well, its ambitious. The pirate themed RPG take is interesting. The backdrops are very lush and green, sunlight streaming through the canopy, many more caves that first Risen, but that unique ability to solve a quest though combat/stealth/diplomacy is also gone.
It offers some unique features like having monkey/parrots as utility pets, unfortunately I couldnt make it that far.
Combat. Plain and simple, it is terrible. Frustratingly terrible. Make you want to punch kittens terrible. Again, I will go back to my roots of Gothic and say that I had no problem using my spacebar to block even though 99% of every PC games used it for jump. This is PB, I adapted. Unfortunately you cannot adapt to a bird, a crab or any other mob in this game from stunlocking you at will. And for as long or as short as they want. You can have 100% life and a mob with 2 hits left to death can (and most likely will) turn around and hit you 8,9, 10 times in a row until you are dead. All you can do is reload and take a deep breath.
Which leads me to the games seconds biggest flaw: Leveling up, the haphazard way the trainers are thrown around and the basic overall sense of confusion when trying to build a character.
Training a weapon not only requires finding a person who trains but also that particular type of weapon. And almost all the trainers on the 2nd island are offering skills/abilities you'll never be able to learn in the given time.
So after many retries using various different build types (high DPS, high Toughness, high Cunning) I can tell you it doesnt matter what skills you raise, you're going to die. A lot. To terrible combat mechanics that you are all but powerless to stop. You cannot perch mobs and because of this HORRIBLE new idea of food regenerating at a snail's pace, you will go broke either buying drinks or the materials to make them. Keeping a party member around helps alleviate this but you shouldnt have to rely on bait to survive, and if you do they should never leave you. Unfortunately none of this excuses a lowly level 3 crab pecking a decked out level 23 pirate to death.
Maybe a patch will fix this but for now, combat is ridiculous and just silly. Still love ya PB, good luck on the next one.

- The most effective back brace we have come across, in terms of customer satisfaction and pain relief, is the LEEDer BOC (Better OutComes) PRO-LSO-CF-XS 116 Mini This compact and unobtrusive soft plastic panel, form-fitting brace works so well because, #1, the Lumbar Dome design adaptively fits the lower back and, #2, the non-elastic straps, which allow Low Pressure, comfortable, wearing. Users find this back brace so comfortable they can wear it for hours. The mild, Low Pressure, compression of the lower spinal column lifts the spinal discs apart relieving pinched nerves. The technical explanation: "intra cavitary pressure reducing load on the inter vertebral discs�. Many wear the brace protectively when they must work or do things which might strain their lower back.
- Lower Back Pain Relief — Diagnosis And Treatment
Lower back pain relief isn't straightforward. Low spine problems are particularly difficult to treat. There is an assumption that all spinal signs and symptoms can be traced to distinct pathological processes. However, lower back pain relief is not that simple. The approach of treating the spine by diagnosis is ideal and often works well, even though complete liberation from soreness is elusive. Generally, there is scant agreement among clinicians concerning an accurate diagnosis. What is really contributing to the lasting symptoms the patient feels? Differences of opinion exist between disciplines, with one clinician calling a facet syndrome what another clinician would call a disc bulge. Often, the diagnosis depends on which university one attended, rather than a clear consensus supported by the literature. Treatments for lumbar spine pains can be complex and frustrating. Reliefs are often temporary. Lumbar supports, posture and strengthening exercises, education, and braces can help. Staying active is an essential feature of a good treatment plan.
- Lower Back Pain Treatment And Self-Responsibility
Lower back pain treatment is important, since nearly 80% of the population will experience spinal discomfort in their lifetimes. Low lumbar complaints are the most common. Congenital defects and severe injuries resulting in spinal joint instability are relatively rare. In most cases, poor posture and bad habits contribute to backache. It is wise for patients to exercise regularly to maintain adequate strength of the lumbar, spinal and abdominal muscles. A spine support or brace may be important to let the patient participate in activities that would otherwise result in chronic discomfort. Since no orthosis can completely immobilize the low spine, the beneficial effect of a support is thought to be caused by the unloading and stabilizing effect and the reminder to use good posture and body mechanics. Spinal injury can be effectively managed with medical care, therapy, or chiropractic. However, the relief resulting from the treatments is an incomplete cure, unless the patient takes self-responsibility for good spinal health via exercise.

Late, late show by Ballyclare books a fourth round trip to holders RBAI
Lurgan College 18-35 Ballyclare High School
The result of this tie was in doubt until the closing 10 minutes when Ballyclare High ran in two tries to qualify for a fourth round away tie to the holders RBAI.
Scott Wilson kicked two early penalties for Lurgan before visiting forward Aaron Playfair grounded the ball over the five-metre line but realised he was short and managed to scramble to his feet and touch down over the actual try line.
Adam Clarke added a penalty before the visitors scored their second try to make it 13-6 at half time.
This came right on the whistle when Jack Lewis burst from the opposing 10-metre line to make it to the corner.
Owen Kirk ran an aggressive hard line to score untouched under the posts for Clarke to goal but Lurgan came back when a forward surge resulted in an overlap and any one of four players could have scored.
It was Michael Boulos who touched down for Wilson to convert.
An excellent piece of vision and a kick through by Clarke led to Kirk's second for Ballyclare to make the score 25-13.
The home team managed to reply when Wilson ran in for a solo effort.
Lurgan had kept in the contest but fatigue stared to set in and the visitors took advantage with those two late scores.
Clarke showed some individual flair to score to the left of the posts and Kirk helped himself the sixth.
It came after accurate passing and team play between forwards and backs and was probably the try of the morning.
However, Lurgan coach Kyle McCallan was delighted with the way his team kept in the game:
"We started well but full credit to Ballyclare for their finishing," he said.
"Their final two tries were well worked with accurate kicks over our tiring defence."

Could Atlanta produce the next R.E.M.?
for Creative Loafing
When R.E.M. is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame March 12, the glitzy ceremony at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel will certainly belie the band's humble origins at a party held in a dilapidated Athens church in April 1980.
"Back then, the party scene was the thing," says Cindy Wilson of the B-52's, the first Athens band to emerge from what is now considered the golden age of the New Wave era. "If you wanted original music, you did it yourself and played it for your friends."
And that's exactly what R.E.M. did, erupting from the DIY party scene that ultimately spawned a multitude of acts. The now-thriving Athens club scene was almost forced to grow in order to serve the increasing number of bands. Meanwhile, Atlanta's club scene was already well-established and organized. Atlanta attracted so many musicians that the scene fractured into many smaller factions, centered around venues or groups of bands. Compared with Athens' organic scene, however, Atlanta was like the Big Apple. Yet it still wasn't ready for the quirk of the original Classic City rockers.
"When we started out we couldn't have gotten an [Atlanta] gig if we tried," continues Wilson, now a metro Atlanta resident. "We had to go to New York before we could be taken seriously, and even then we had to move to New York in order to be a national act."
But once the B-52's left Athens, bands began to sprout. And in that fertile, unspoiled soil, R.E.M. quickly established itself as a regional draw, before earning national and international acclaim, all while deeply rooted in Athens. They didn't buy a ticket out of town. They bought in, by helping to resurrect historic buildings and landmarks, and bankrolling numerous local charities.
But could the massive monolith that is Atlanta ever produce such dedicated homeboys – a Hall of Fame-bound band whose success is intrinsically tied to the city?
"R.E.M. was a fluke of nature," says Atlanta native David Railey, an East Atlanta cornerstone and the mastermind behind Day Mars Ray, American Dream and Corndogorama. "Athens wasn't a music scene that was trying to 'make it,' it was just a college town with good music."
Indeed, while Atlanta's early '80s pop, rock and New Wave scenes boomed with venues such as Hedgens, the Bistro, 688 and the Agora, Athens' scene remained small-scale. "Atlanta is like Athens times 10, but without all the jam-rock and R.E.M. wannabes," says Ted Selke of the Seventh Ring of Saturn, active in Atlanta music for more than two decades.
Ultimately, Athens and Atlanta are inherently incomparable because of the difference in size. And it's important to remember that while Athens also had individual scenes, there were few geographic divisions due to the close proximity of the divergent musicians. "The biggest gap was the [distinction between the] art side and the more organic rocker side," says Widespread Panic's John Bell. Widespread Panic was heavily influenced by early '80s Athens band the Squalls, which was also divided between quirky art-pop and the jam-band approach of the Grateful Dead.
But perhaps the bigger issue at stake is whether or not bands have to move away from Georgia to find national success – like the B-52's, the Black Crowes and even Atlanta's Keith Vogelsong and his Goodnight Records label recently did? "No one knows the answer," Railey says. "Jimi Hendrix had to move to the U.K. to find a band and then return to the U.S.A. as a success with a British band."
He also points to the success of OutKast, the rap duo that has done its part to imprint Atlanta with a distinct yet divergent identity. "Twenty years after R.E.M. became No. 1, OutKast showed everyone something new and exciting without a corporate, preconceived business model. It worked because it was real, and most people can tell the difference. People decide who is successful, not the music industry. Then the vultures and leeches – the music industry – find out and usually suck the life and magic out of it."

"We are thrilled with the level of service that Nancy Braun and her co-agent Jessica Sinski gave us when they sold our home! They are an excellent team! They did an open house for starters and booked many showings each day. They got our home under contract within a few days! We ran into some unexpected issues when our home was inspected that lead to our buyers backing out of their contract without even allowing us to see the report so Nancy immediately gave us a list of contractors and businesses to call upon to assess our issues.
Then she turned around and got two more contracts on our home within 24 hours from people who had made previous offers! All the various work that needed to be done was very swift and the next inspection went great thanks to the pros Nancy referred us to. The beauty of having two agents to deal with enabled us to have a constant open line of communication through phone calls and emails that made the experience of selling a home a very pleasant one!"

Worldwide, governments should eliminate water subsidies to farmers in order to encourage conservation and more efficient use of water, according to a study in Bioscience magazine.
From 1994 to 1998, worldwide water subsidies totaled about $60 billion; American farmers receive about $2 to $4 billion annually. Subsidies discourage efficient water usage and conservation. But as population centers grow, more water must be diverted away from agriculture and towards consumption needs.
- In California, agriculture is only 3 percent of the state's economy but uses 85 percent of its fresh water.
- The Ogallala aquifer, which supplies water to about 20 percent of all irrigated land in the United States, has dropped 33 percent since 1950.
- Asia contains 60 percent of the world's population but only 30 percent of its fresh water.
However, Gary Margheim of the Natural Resources Conservation Service says that conservation measures and incentives have already begun:
- The 2002 farm bill provided $17 billion for water conservation programs over 10 years.
- Last year $60 million was spent to help farmers conserve water through methods such as drip irrigation and low-pressure sprinkler systems.
- Water-sucking invasive plant species are being eradicated in the southwest.

About the Program
Saturday School has been a beloved Memphis tradition for over 75 years. Many of our current students have parents or grandparents who attended the program as children. Many of our undergraduates, teaching artists and alumni participated in our youth programs when they were young artists themselves.
Building a love of art for a lifetime begins here at MCA. We recognize that engagement with art nurtures creative thinking, provides an outlet for self-expression, strengthens self-confidence and helps develop an appreciation for the world outside ourselves.
Class sizes are small by design, allowing for individualized attention to each student's unique skills and abilities. We offer qualified teaching artists, inspiring media and excellent facilities. As the only independent, fully accredited professional art and design institution in Memphis, we are uniquely experienced to guide young emerging artists, nurturing in them a love for the arts and an appreciation for lifelong learning.
*Students age 16 and above may also choose to participate in our Adult Continuing Education classes.

Elizabeth Davidson reports
ALL Court of Appeal and Crown Office list case transcripts are to be provided on the Internet free of charge from early next year.
Court transcript supplier Smith Bernal International, which has a contract with the Lord Chancellor's Department to supply transcripts of court proceedings, is discussing the project with web designers and hopes to launch the service at the start of 1998.
Smith Bernal business development manager Douglas McQuaid said the project would "definitely be going ahead", but added that it was still in the early stages of development.
The company is consulting senior members of the judiciary, solicitors and barristers on how the service should be provided. It added that the transcripts, which will be updated monthly, would be put on the Internet at its own expense.
About 10,000 cases from the civil and criminal Courts of Appeal and the Crown Office list, which covers mainly judicial reviews, will be published on the site annually.
Smith Bernal has also joined forces with electronic publisher Context to set up a service which supplies daily online transcripts of cases from the same courts.
The transcripts will be provided by Smith Bernal and published through Context's Justis Daily Judgments electronic case law publication.
This service will be piloted free of charge to users in November and it is expected to be fully up and running by the end of the year, according to Context marketing director Michelle Green.
The cost for subscribers will be based on Context's existing charging policy. There will be a fixed annual subscription charge, with discounts for academic institutions.
Context currently publishes case reports on CD-Rom six times a year. These reports include additional notes and headings written by legal reporters.
The plan is to use the new service to publish daily transcripts of all cases, not just the important ones, and without any additional headings.
But when a case is likely to be reported in the Law Reports, the Weekly Law Reports, or the Industrial Cases Reports, this will be indicated in the service, said Green. She said other notes could be added to the transcripts within days of publication.

he Air Max 90 Hyp Premium Shoe is a design that dares to push boundaries. Featuring the classic, bold silhouette that's made this shoe a legend, this version is outfitted with Hyperfuse construction for a virtually seamless, durable design.
Hyperfuse upper for ultra-lightweight durability and breathability
Max Air unit at heel for maximum cushioning and impact protection
Waffle pattern at outsole for versatile traction
The Nike Air Max 90 Hyp Premium is built with Fuse technology, a ground-breaking process that blends three different layers of material to create a nearly seamless one-piece upper. The result: zones of ventilation, durability and stability, right where you need them. And because Fuse construction almost completely eliminates stitching, it delivers a seamless fit and feel.
Nike's revolutionary Air-Sole unit made its way into Nike footwear in the late '70s. In 1987, the Nike Air Max debuted with visible air in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air-Sole comfort. Suddenly they could see it. And just a few years later, the next-generation nike air max 90 became a hit with both athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations, lightweight performance and a cushioned ride.
Leather and synthetic upper with strategically placed overlays for a supportive fit
Rubber outsole for durability

Alexandra Tanner, Fabrice Calando, Jeff Scott and Warren Wilansky
On February 19 we were really fortunate to have 4 amazing Montreal-based business people and entrepreneurs. In no particular order there was Alexandra Tanner from L'Oreal, Fabrice Calando from TIMC, Jeff Scott from CN, and Warren Wilansky from Plank Design.
We thought by limiting the conversation topics to 3 that each would get addressed somewhat equally, but the clear winner on the day was Content (Careers and Community being the 2 others).
It was neat to get an inside look on the different approaches each of the panelists explained they were privy to as ambassadors of their brand. Warren and Fabrice had a pretty simplistic (different than simple..nothing is simple) approach in terms of how they reached out to their communities and the content they generated for them. Because of the nature and size of their companies a much more direct line is used to engage existing and potential clients with instances where they've gone so far to hand craft messages client-by-client (current ongoing projects notwithstanding). Their "tribes" if you will are much smaller than a CN or a L'Oreal, therefore much of the talk surrounding monitoring and monitoring tools in terms of mentions and/or how successful one piece of content was versus another wasn't as pertinent to them.
Conversely, Jeff and Alex are overseeing a much wider base of self-proclaimed rail and beauty afficionados. This would include anything going out in terms of content, as well as anything 'happening' out there in real time that they'd either nip in the bud or promote to try and achieve viral status and gained brand awareness.
There are truly some amazing nuggets taken from the conversation that were shared live during the event (Feb.19th, 2014) on Twitter. I can't and won't go through them all but here's a taste of what some the attendees were taking away and sharing. You can search using #SMBMTL to pick up the rest of them as they do a far better job of summing up the important parts than I can.
Fortunately we came ready with some questions of my own as the room was unusually silent throughout most of the event and saw the panelists carrying a lot of the conversation, which I guess is the idea of a panel.
One particular question I won't forget however had to do with the stories and circumstances of the companies whom the panel represented did not reflect the current states of a lot of people in the room. And, that a lot of the advice and conversation couldn't be applied well to what it is they were trying to do.
I couldn't disagree more because a) we've been fortunate enough to host attendees from companies throughout Montreal that are large in numbers and in scope. Companies who likely benefited a great deal from the perspective offered by the panelists and their varying backgrounds. And b) because with a little imagination just about anything happening digitally can be applied to one entrepreneur's or one small companies digital aspirations.
Things like:
Monitoring – not only can this unearth the negative, but it can keep you abreast of competitors, of companies in your space first you can track and emulate and/or see you trying to zig when they zag (credit to Unbounce' Rick Perreault and this blog post which I'd read in a break from typing this up).
Newsletters/Email – it's apparent that this tried and true tactic is among the most effective. Major takeaway – if you haven't already, start building a list. If that list merits a Newsletter then so be it – but remember, you are pushing info on these peeps – make it engaging and useful. And, if that list is so small you're able to send personal emails to prospects/clients as a way of catching up, informing them of a new opportunity, then do it.
Pick up the phone/Network/Say Bonjour/Hi – Warren said it best "No matter what, a phone call to the client (as opposed to email primarily) will 100% serve to improve that relationship". I've taken to calling clients with "bad news" (delayed project, bounced cheque..lol) as opposed to emailing. There's a certain trust and respect that is forged when you have the chutzpah to point blank admit you're wrong, or that you've made a mistake. Although no physical mass can be attributed to it, I'm inclined to use the old cliche; that's worth it's weight in gold.
A big super thank you once again to the panelists for your time. We really appreciate it. And a special shout out and good luck to Alex as she takes on a new role for her company in the Big Apple!

The recent election reminded me of a brush that I had with election-related appeals. A few years ago, I fervently drafted a brief in a primary-contest appeal under a looming deadline. As I neared completion, my pregnant wife called to inform me that she was in labor. No problem, right? I'll get the deadline extended. As my partner (who was scheduled to celebrate his wedding anniversary on a relaxing getaway and instead had to help finalize the brief) can attest, however, contesting election results present some unique considerations and can lead to their own demanding and inflexible deadlines.
For example, contesting an election's result requires some preparation and may necessitate truncated deadlines that would be atypical in a normal appeal. The Texas Election Code allows for accelerated appeals of both primary contests and general elections. Among other things, the Code and the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure mandate that election appeals receive precedence. The Code also allows for issuing reasonable and appropriate orders to expedite the appeal like reducing the time allowed for briefing. Further, primary-contest appeals contain an inherent deadline. They can become moot when absentee balloting has begun or when the case is not properly resolved in time for election officials to comply with statutory deadlines for holding the general election. For the uninitiated appellate attorney, this means that the first step is researching how election contests are appealed and determining when the contest becomes moot.
The second step is utilizing election-contest related law to avoid the case becoming moot. While the law allows for expediting these appeals, it doesn't hurt to remind the appellate court how it should treat these matters. For example, as we did in our case, it also doesn't hurt to file a motion asking the appellate court to afford the case precedence and requesting any other necessary, and authorized, relief like shortening the briefing deadlines.
In the end, we timely filed the brief and my world was awash in a newfound joy. I can't speak for my partner, however.

A stunningly funny novel about the gap between East and West, and the story of a young woman who falls straight into it.
Winner of the Grand Prix de l'Academie Franç:aise and the Prix Internet du Livre, this taut tour-de-force of a novel created a sensation in France, where it has sold nearly half a million copies. Fear and Trembling tells the story of Amelie, a young Western woman who spends a year working at a Japanese corporation. She soon learns that at theYumimoto Corporation hierarchy means everything. Keep to your place and you survive; break ranks and you will be broken. The determined but hapless Amelie makes mistake after mistake, not least of which is deigning to sympathize with her immediate superior, the beautiful, efficient, and ice-cold Miss Mori. A perverse process of ritual humiliation follows. But even as Amelie's life at theYumimoto Corporation spirals inexorably and hilariously downward, what she learns about herself and her colleagues in this brilliant novel will alternately delight and outrage readers. Not since Marguerite Duras has a novelist so indelibly marked the differences between East and West, and with such seductive honesty.
About the Author:
Amelie Nothomb was born in Kobe, Japan and now lives in Paris. Her previous works include The Stranger Next Door and Loving Sabotage.
Highly entertaining Fear and Trembling (a perfect title) is filled with both droll observations and wry bitch gags.

HOUSTON -- Some mea culpa.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, asked to name a mistake he's made as an officeholder, tried at a candidate debate late Tuesday to make light of his infamous call to the Allen Police Department.
In the Aug. 3 call, Dewhurst sought to free a jailed relative following a shoplifting arrest. A recording soon hit the airwaves, leaving him on the defensive. Opponents criticized his action as inappropriate.
Before 200 Houston Republicans on Tuesday, Dewhurst conceded error -- but sought sympathy as well.
"I was speaking to a group of police officers in the DFW area a week ago Saturday," he recalled. "... I said, you know, guys, I've decided that it's far better to talk to police officers in person than on the phone." The line drew loud laughter.
Dewhurst added, "What would you do if it's a Saturday night, it's 9:30, 10 and two relatives call you and they're crying?"
In the audio Dewhurst identifies himself, asks the sergeant what was needed to free his wife's relative and then alternates between being aggressive (dropping names, requesting superiors' cellphone numbers) and sheepish (stressing he's never made such a call, and doesn't want special treatment). Despite his effort, the woman, Ellen Bevers, spent the night in jail anyway. For more on the incident, check this earlier post.
"I hope that we've all learned from our mistakes," Dewhurst told the Houston audience. "… I have."

Iran Is Complicating the 21st Century
The secretariat of the Israel Defense Forces High Command, which is situated like a subtenant in the chief of staff's bureau, is waiting for the conclusion of the legal proceedings against Louis Mascuta, the corporal who allegedly got the better of a lieutenant general by photographing for his private use the latter's credit card details.
The handgun Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi received from a high-ranking visitor, General John Craddock, was placed in the souvenirs cabinet. At the time of his visit to Israel, at the beginning of this year, Craddock, in line with NATO practice, served in a dual capacity as commander of its military operations and as head of EUCOM, the U.S. European Command. The Colt pistol he presented to Ashkenazi is a Peacemaker, the model that gained glory in the Wild West.
Craddock retired this summer and was replaced in both capacities by Admiral James Stavridis. He invites all those interested to follow his career via Facebook and Twitter, and he also has a blog, called "From the Bridge," of his musings and travels. For sure, in his blog he will heap praise on Israel and the IDF. The country that has hosted him and he badmouthed in return has yet to be found.
The head of EUCOM oversees the American part of a joint EUCOM-IDF, missile-rich exercise codenamed Juniper Cobra. In this series of biennial maneuvers the missile-intercept forces of the two armies train to repulse ballistic threats of different ranges, particularly the Iranian missile threat. Coordination is polished between the radar, discovery, control and launch officers of the various missiles: Patriot, Arrow, THAAD and Standard.
The Americans are sharpening their ability to differentiate via the tracking systems between missiles that penetrate the remote defense layer and constitute an imminent threat and fragments of missiles that were hit but whose fall to the earth does not justify the launch of a missile.
For Israel, it is also an opportunity for self-marketing aimed at 500 American officers and soldiers who will be exposed to the reality in the country and feel firsthand what it means to have a population of about a million civilians in Metropolitan Tel Aviv exposed to the Iranian threat.
Following the elimination of the Iraqi threat, the determination of the U.S. to protect Israel against Iran was declared in 2007 and previously in 2005, when the managers of the exercise reported with satisfaction that 15 Patriot missiles were fired and all hit their targets.
In 2003, the exercise was held in an emergency format, parallel to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. At that time, American and Israeli intelligence assessed mistakenly that Saddam Hussein still had a few Scud missile launchers, and that in his distress would order the missiles to be fired. To avert Israeli intervention in the war, the launches had to be thwarted, or at least intercepted before reaching their target. U.S. Special Forces were sent to the conjectured launching areas in western Iraq, but the need to utilize them on the road to Baghdad took precedence. As a substitute, Special Forces from Britain and Australia were sent in, and the breach that was liable to be created if missiles really were fired was filled, alongside the IDF, by Juniper Cobra forces.
The present situation is different and more problematic. If Iran continues to pretend it has no offensive intentions, and Israel in its suspiciousness decides to strike first, and American forces arrive to assist Israel against the Iranian counterstrike, and in effect cooperate with the IDF even as the campaign continues in the form of mutual strikes, Washington will not be able to dissociate itself from the accusation of involvement in the Israeli attack plan.
The American attitude toward a possible IDF operation in Iran is ambivalent. The official pronouncements are always both against a nuclear Iran and against an Israeli operation. But, unofficially, the discussion about Israel's ability to strike at Iran is convenient for Washington. It is almost the only whip the Americans have against the rest of the world in the political maneuvering to toughen the economic sanctions against Iran, the last chance to avoid a military strike.
"The military can play an important role in solving this complex problem without firing a single shot. Publicly signaling serious preparation for a military strike might obviate the need for one," retired Air Force General Charles Wald wrote this month in an article that resonated in the pages of the Wall Street Journal and led to a series of interviews with him in the American media. The title of the op-ed, "There is a military option on Iran," rekindled the public debate over this issue in Washington.
The secretary of defense in the second half of the Clinton administration, William Cohen, expressed a similar view when he said that the Arab states in the Persian Gulf are more worried about Iran's nuclear project than Israel is. He added that if Iran does not respond by the end of September to President Barack Obama's offer of a dialogue, and if the sanctions are not toughened (with the consent of Russia and China), "there is always Israel, and it is not going to sit indifferently on the sidelines and watch Iran continue on its way toward a nuclear weapons capability."
Wald testified before Congress: "Sitting in the heart of the Middle East is the greatest strategic challenge facing the United States at the dawn of a new century: the regime in Tehran." Wald said that the reason is its nuclear project, but not only that: Iran's unpredictable regime, which threatens the oil sources in the Gulf, obliges the United States to reduce its dependence on petroleum. Wald's solution, like that of the officer who was his counterpart in the IDF, former deputy chief of staff Moshe Kaplinsky, is electric cars.
In the military analysis he published, Wald was careful not to reveal operational secrets and to remain "within legal limits," but asserted that "the U.S. military is capable of launching a devastating attack on Iranian nuclear and military facilities."
It is not true that the U.S. military is overstretched, lacks adequate intelligence about Iran's secret nuclear sites and that the known sites are too heavily fortified, Wald wrote in the op-ed. True, ground forces of the U.S. Army and the Marines are occupied in Iraq and Afghanistan, but that burden does not affect the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force. Moreover, the American presence in countries bordering Iran will facilitate the operation of Special Forces and intelligence. Huge bombs that will be dropped by the U.S. Air Force may not penetrate subterranean facilities but will bring about the collapse of their entrances and exits, thus effectively burying them.
An operation against Iran, whether the Americans initiate it or are dragged into it in the wake of an Iranian response to an Israeli strike, will be conducted in CENTCOM. Stavridis' role in EUCOM will be secondary: launching missiles from submarines in the Mediterranean, allocating forces to reinforce and assist Israel in the Juniper Cobra format. In the Middle East, the seam between the two U.S. commands runs along Israel's borders (which are part of EUCOM, along with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) with Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon (which are part of CENTCOM). Admiral Stavridis wrote recently that the 21st century is highly complex and is illuminated to humanity only in the form of brief flashes, so "at times it feels like we are reading Shakespeare by lightning."
Damascus is one of the focal points of the regional entanglement, which entails five American efforts: to reduce subversion against Baghdad ahead of the completion of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq; to pry Syria loose from the embrace of Iran; to stabilize Lebanon despite the growing strength of Hezbollah; to weaken support for Hamas to increase the prospect for progress in the Israeli-Palestinian political process; and to achieve an Israeli-Syrian peace.
The maps, which do not document well the line of June 5, 1967, which is one of the stumbling blocks in the discussions on an Israeli-Syrian peace, photograph only one layer, which is superficial and is not necessarily consistent with Western logic. In his book "The Gamble," Thomas Ricks, the military correspondent of the Washington Post, describes the U.S. military's success in reversing the thrust toward defeat, in reinforcing its troops and in drawing on the assistance of tribes and other local elements against Al-Qaida. Ricks quotes a conversation between an American officer and the leader of a tribe in the western province of Al Anbar, which borders on Syria. Why are you smuggling sheep (and fuel) across the border, the officer demanded to know. To which the tribal chieftain replied: Why did you put the border in the middle of the sheep?

A Joint Statement Upon the Establishment of China Human Rights Accountability Center
A Joint Statement Upon the Establishment of China Human Rights Accountability Center January 10, 2017 On December 23, 2016, President Obama signed into law "The Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act." The law authorizes the U.S. president to levy sanctions against foreign nationals who engage in the following acts: significant corruption, extrajudicial killings, torture, violation of international human rights covenants, and persecution of those who expose government corruption or seek to defend internationally recognized human rights.

Most of us have a morning routine. I don't know about any of you, but I like my sleep – sometimes a little too much. And so there are those hurried mornings when I'm a bit pressed for time. Today I'm sharing my go-to eyes for work on such occasions, featuring some of my favorite cream products of life: The Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks.
Now I'm not one that typically prefers cream products, generally speaking. But when it comes to the eyes, I love a good cream pot or shadow stick. They just make life so much easier. For this easy five minute look (which I've worn almost everyday this week), I'm using: Cocoa, a matte dark brown, and Moon Light, a metallic champagne beige. You can check out swatches in my original review of the Caviar Sticks here.
First step: After doing my brows and whatnot, I take a bit of Cocoa and apply it to the outer third of the eye. Then using a small, crease brush (this one here is the *e.l.f. Essential Eye Crease Brush), I quickly blend it out, taking the colour a little further up on the lid like so:
Second and Third Step: Place Moonlight all over the lid. I usually blend it in with my fingers. Then I go back on with Cocoa on the outer half of the lower lash line.
Finally, I add a little bit of Moonlight to the inner corner of the eye and inner half of the lower lash.
The final "eyes for work" look, with two coats of mascara (Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes):
Truth be told, this look actually takes me about three minutes. But I said five to be safe. I can pair these simple, versatile eyes with almost any other color combination on the lips and cheeks. And the best part? I got an extra ten minutes of sleep. 🙂

I did have a problem with the way things went but Dan bent over backwards to make sure that I was taken care of and that I didn't feel like I had been taken advantage of. I believe that he was extremely fair in his business dealings and I am happy to say that I will be using them again in the future

Original Review on 06/26/2012
Uriah said he had paid $200 to have the oxygen sensor replaced, but two weeks later the oxygen sensor went out. When he returned the vehicle he was told a different component related to the sensor was causing the oxygen sensor to continue to fail. He said he paid for a service that was not necessary to solve the problem with the vehicle. He would not recommend this business based on this experience.

We are so sorry for this miscommunication, We pride ourselves on satisfied customers & was happy to bring the car back in. After reinspecting the vehicle & speaking to Uriah it was determined that the needed repairs were more than the value of the vehicle. However, I can see where money was spent needlessly so we are giving Uriah a $100.00 credit to resolve the feeling of paying for something he did not need. Dan Kelley (owner)

He carried the torch as part of the International Inspiration programme, a games sponsored initiative to encourage children at home and abroad to do more physical exercise.
Police said he left the hotel where he was staying, the Jurys Inn, Waterfront Plaza, Nottingham, at around 9.15pm yesterday and did not return.
"We are concerned for Natnael as he does not speak very good English and is not thought to be street-wise. He does have family in London, but we need to find him and make sure he is safe and well," a police spokesman said.

Hello. Thanks for posting. This part looks like our 15-195 shoe. Is this all that's broken on your balance? If so, you could just replace this and re-use the balance itself. These just pop right on the end of the metal channel.
If you do need an entirely new balance, see our S795-28. I believe this is what you have. Keep in mind that these install at the top using a screw clip, not a hook. If yours has a hook, let me know!
Installing this balance is actually very easy. Check out the video below; the balance featured is actually different, but the principle is the same.

Since his arrival in Savannah seven years ago, Peter Shannon has built the Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra into a class act.
As the conductor and artistic director of the Philharmonic, Shannon has conducted sold-out concerts during the five seasons the orchestra has performed. Now, Shannon has been hired as the conductor and musical director of the Jackson Symphony Orchestra in Tennessee. But instead of leaving Savannah, he'll handle both jobs by commuting.
"I have taken on a second job in Jackson, but I'm not moving to Jackson," Shannon says. "I'll have a residence there. So when I'm working there, I will have somewhere to stay, but I'll be going back and forth.
"Savannah will still remain my main source of income," he says. "It will be a symbiotic relationship that will benefit the orchestra and won't preclude my obligations in Savannah. Savannahians aren't going to notice any change whatsoever."
Shannon says he's delighted with the way things are working in Savannah.
There was a lot of competition for the Jackson job.
"They received 150 applications from 36 states and 11 countries," Shannon says. "I also was a finalist in Portland (Oregon) for the Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra. It's quite a nice accolade to be on the shortlist for two other professional orchestras."
Shannon said he would not accept the job in Portland, although he returned there to conduct concerts on May 2 and 3.
"They had 111 applicants," he says. "There was a lot of interest for that job, but there is no chance of me moving to Portland.
"My contract maintains that I have to have Savannah as my primary residence," Shannon says. "My children go to school here, my wife teaches here, I have a house here."
The Jackson job will benefit not just himself but the entire orchestra, Shannon says.
"What I do in Savannah will benefit Jackson, what I do in Jackson will benefit Savannah," he says. "This gives me a chance to increase my orchestral experience with other orchestras and also to achieve my artistic potential.
"This represents a very positive step for Savannah," Shannon says. "For one, it represents a chance for me to use the expertise of the other organization."
The Jackson orchestra has been in existence for 52 years.
"They have a huge wealth of knowledge and experience," Shannon says. "They have a lot of experience that we will hope to garner from, and we have experience in other areas they hope to garner from.
"They have a vast library, and we don't have a large library. For me, at this moment in my professional life, it represents a nice musical challenge.
"My board and director are behind me," he says. "This represents for Savannah the chance to keep me in Savannah for a little bit longer."
Philharmonic board chair Melissa Emery says Shannon can increase his income and stay in Savannah.
"It gives him more exposure, and it's good exposure for Savannah," Emery says. "The more famous Peter becomes, the better it is for the Savannah Philharmonic."
Rumors of Shannon's impending departure have begun circulating and he wants to circumvent them.
"We don't want to start a fire when none is there," he says.
Combining Jackson and Savannah will require adjustment, he says.
"I'll have to get a little more organized logistically," Shannon says.
Most orchestra conductors have numerous jobs, Shannon says.
"This isn't a nine-to-five job that I clock in and out of," he says. "I'm primarily appointed because of my conducting skills and wealth of experience, and I'm adding to both of those.
"It is a norm for conductors to have numerous jobs, full-time jobs, yet still manage to do them with great aplomb, although it seems a little bit daunting."
"Whether it's Savannah, Jackson or Dublin, it doesn't matter where I am," he says. "Even when I'm on holiday I have music with me, and this year will be no exception."
