As a result of a gene defect, patients with cystic fibrosis have thick mucus in their airways that is hard to clear, leaving their lungs prone to mucus plugging and infections. The thick mucus results from an imbalance in salt and water transport in their lungs. Investigators propose to develop novel peptides that can inhibit excessive salt absorption in CF airways to improve CF mucus hydration and prevent infection.

Good things come in threes. Maybe that's what Padraig Harrington is thinking this week as he seeks a hat-trick at the Open Championship, the third of golf's four annual majors. Of course, in that popular sport across the pond known as cricket, hat-tricks aren't always a good thing ' it means three outs in a row. Well, we don't have to remind you that 33-year-old Tiger Woods is 0-for-2 this year in majors. Will he strike out in his third at-bat? Or is the third time the charm?...
Here are a few more magical 'three' facts to help you hit it out of the Turnberry park:
A player can be picked to win a maximum of five times. We will be keeping a running tally of the monies earned each week. The participants include: Jay Coffin, Editorial Director; Mercer Baggs, Editorial Manager; Brian Koressel, Senior Producer; Dena Davis, Assistant Editor; Erik Peterson, Travel Editor; Jerry Foltz, special contributor.
|Player Pick
|Rex Hoggard
Padraig Harrington
|Yes, his swing is off and he's missed more cuts than a major champion should, but he won the Irish PGA last week and, if memory serves, he said there was a 50 percent chance he wouldn't even finish last year's Open Championship. And we all remember how that turned out.
Tiger Woods
|Because he's Tiger Woods and because doesn't go 0-for-4 on the dance cards that count.
|Dark Horse:
Martin Kaymer
|No German has ever won the Open Championship but the young man is on a roll.
|Jay Coffin
Tiger Woods
|He's not going winless in major championships this year
Ian Poulter
|A gut feeling. He played well at the open last year and was a contender at the players. He'll win a major sooner or later.
|Dark Horse:
Graeme McDowell
|One of the few people in the field who grew up on a true links course. He proved he can handle major pressure at the ryder cup last year.
|Mercer Baggs
Sergio Garcia
|Im not sure why Im doing this. Its like someone else is typing for me.
Padraig Harrington
|Three in a row at the Irish PGA wont mean three in a row at the British, but he should hang around all week.
|Dark Horse:
Colin Montgomerie
|If David Duval can nearly win the U.S. Open, maybe Monty can make a charge at a British Open in his native Scotland.
|Erik Peterson
Tiger Woods
|Never played an Open here, but only 20 in the field have (and all are past their prime).
Martin Kaymer
|How can you not pick the guy whos won the past two European Tour events?
|Dark Horse:
David Duval
|At No. 145 in the world hes a long shot, but Mr. 59 hasnt felt this good about his game since he won the Open in 01.
|Brian Koressel
Ian Poulter
|Hes going to breakout and win a major sooner or later and the British is the obvious place for that to happen.
Lee Westwood
|Will plod his way around Turnberry and be in the hunt come Sunday.
|Dark Horse:
Martin Kaymer
|Dark horse only in name recognition as the German is coming off two straight Euro wins and is now ranked 11th in the world.
|Dena Davis
Ian Poulter
|This Brit's got the home-cooking going for him, the best pants, and a runner-up finish in '08 to build on. It's finally time for him to close the deal.
Rory McIlroy
|U.K. betting parlors have him listed as second favorite behind Tiger. They know what they're talking about. The 20-year-old finished tied for 20th at his first Masters, then tied for 10th place at the U.S. Open. Just needs to shave off 10 mores strokes again and then....
|Dark Horse:
Adam Scott
|It seems weird labeling the veteran Scott as a dark horse, but I think he's back on track after a tumultuous year. Also, he's got a new attractive tennis-star girlfriend. Seemed to help Greg Norman last year.
|Jerry Foltz
Tiger Woods
|Without a major in over a year, he's as overdue as my tax returns.
Martin Kaymer
|Why should he stop his meteoric rise at 11th in the world?
|Dark Horse:
Brian Gay
|Accurate, steady, and a great putter. He waited forever to become a winner, and might just think this is the next logical step.

Wetaskiwin RCMP are investigating after a fake bomb was found outside a building that burned down under suspicious circumstances.
Firefighters were called to the Mega Pawn shop on 36th Avenue just after 5:30 a.m. Sunday. When they arrived, the building was already in flames.
Soon after, emergency crews spotted what appeared to be an explosive device sitting in the roadway nearby.
Officers with the RCMP's explosive disposal unit who examined the device determined the device was a hoax, likely deliberately set to distract emergency personnel.
Crews remained on scene battling the blaze until the late afternoon. Nobody was hurt, but the neighbouring building sustained smoke and fire damage.
The total cost of damage is not yet known.
The provincial fire investigator and Wetaskiwin RCMP say the fire was deliberately set, and are treating it as suspicious.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Kevin's Review: You Don't Mess with the Zohan - Zohan's Crotch, That Is
by Kevin Powers
June 6, 2008
- US Release Date: June 6, 2008
- Genre: Comedy, Action
- MPAA: Rated PG-13 (for crude and sexual content throughout, language and nudity)
- Running Time: 113 minutes
- Directed by: Dennis Dugan
- on IMDb
- 6/10
Adam Sandler, certainly known for some grade-A ridiculousness and juvenile humor, has outdone himself in his latest, You Don't Mess with the Zohan. With the typically less-than-funny Jewish-Palestinian hostility as a back story, Sandler, by way of heaps of hummus and a cantaloupe-sized crotch - which, by the way, given it's prominence should have its own credit - delivers comedy the likes of week-old bed-head - strikingly laughably, thoroughly dirty and evidently lazy. Sandler pushes aside more sophisticated Zionist jokes, in favor of, for example, having elderly Charlotte Rae ("Different Strokes") talk about erectile dysfunction. Grannies seem to be the real ones messing (around) with the Zohan.
As an unstoppable Israeli soldier, Zohan and his turrets-like disco dancing is revered the country over. He can catch bullets in his nostrils, leap from buildings and remain unmoved when a piranha is placed in his swim trunks. Yet this Semitic superhero's true passion is to one day cut and style hair - to make "the silky-smooth." Zohan travels to America to pursue his dream, but his past eventually catches up to him.
Fans of Sandler's will love the film. It's the bawdiest of his work - Judd Apatow is one of the writer's - and the most action-packed. It's also completely ridiculous. There's an appreciation upfront for the concept and fun, but the film falls apart towards the end like a bad perm, mainly when John Tuturro, as Zohan's enemy The Phantom, has more screen time. Rob Schneider as a Palestinian cab driver and telemarketer proves a bit flat, as well. Watching Zohan serve in the neighborhood watch, cut his teeth as a beautician and bang senior citizens is the best part of the film, which formulaically is about 15 minutes into the movie and about 20 minutes from the end.
Various cameos help keep the rhythm up, however. Chris Rock, Mariah Carey, George Takei and many, many more familiar faces pop up throughout the film. Why? Who knows. It's a decently entertaining element, especially Dave Matthews' career-worthy role as a hating hick. To the film's credit, Zohan stays far away from trying to insert any forced "can't we all get along" messages pertaining to the opposing countries. But obviously, in a movie like this, things wrap up in a neat, contrived little package. Well, not a little package in Zohan's case.

Well, for my sins, you might enjoy this, my first post on this website......
A few years ago, whilst engaged in one of those Farmers Union Pigeon shoot days with a 12 bore S.S., It was pointed out to me a squirrel dray. I watched as one squirrel dashed inside, the other, more observant chap put a barrel into the dray and obliterated it's structure and out tumbled two rather, bereft of life, squirrels. Splendid he whispered to me, I shall have a pigeon and squirrel stirfry tomorrow. I had to know about this of course and this is the recipe he told me :::
As many stripped squirrels of meat as one or, more can eat at one sitting.
Same with Pigeon breasts.
Marinate them in Balsamic Vinegar for a bit, maybe a bit of Mustard if you want it.
Fry up in a wok with a mite of Olive oil until tenderish. (Pigeons a mite longer than squirrel)
Add any vegetable matter one enjoys in stirfries i.e. peppers, onions, mushrooms etc.
When nearly cooked, throw in some beansprouts and egg noodles, maybe a tad of chilli seasoning and Soy Sauce or, Oyster sauce. Pour on the marinade and let steam for a little while.
Experiment with above until you perfect it to your taste, we are all different in epicurean delights....
I have eaten loads of these stirfries since then, I shoot a bunch of them with the HW77 over a few weeks and, the wifely woman and I then sit down to a real feast with a decent bottle of Cabernet and a c.d. of light music in the background... excellent.

Home :: Pilgrimage Routes :: Pilgrimage to Santiago
El Camino, or the Way of St. James, is the name of the pilgrimage to Santiago and one of Christianity's major pilgrimages, with roots in medieval times, when the remains of St. James the Apostle were discovered in an ancient tomb on the northern coast of Spain.
A shrine was built over the tomb and pilgrims began paying their respects over 1000 years ago. That shrine is now the Cathedral of Santiago.
During the Inquisition, 'deviants' from the Catholic faith were often punished by being forced to walk El Camino.
Today, while the Camino remains a Catholic pilgrimage, many people travel the road because of its pagan legends. A pilgrimage to Santiago is often a quest, sometimes a religious one, often spiritual, perhaps deeply personal.
The trail's popularity has also been revived by two modern tales, The Camino by Shirley MacLaine and The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho. Both provide vivid descriptions of pilgrimage travel along this route and are extraordinary tales.
There are several routes for the pilgrimage to Santiago. The most common, from the French-Spanish border to the city of Santiago de Compostela, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not surprisingly, it's known as the Camino Francés, or French Way. It is nearly 800km long (500 miles) stretching across northern Spain. If you'd like to get a feel for the Camino first-hand, have a read of Solo to Santiago, my interview with Wilna Wilkinson, who walked the Camino on her own, in winter.
Packing for El Camino de Santiago, according to several friends who have done it, is similar to packing for other hiking trips - only lighter. Remember, you'll be walking for hours each day, every day, and whatever you take will be on your back all that time. Unlike a traditional backpacking trip, where your backpack tends to sit against a hostel door, this one will sit against you!
Here's what I would take if I were going for a month in spring or summer - and this is far less than my usual travel packing list, which is more for long-term round-the-world backpacking trips:
A Lifetime on the Camino - contributed by Anita Grace, Ottawa, ON, Canada
I spent 64 days walking 1,600 kilometres on the Santiago Pilgrimage. However, for all its complexity, richness and challenges, this pilgrimage was experienced as a lifetime.
I was born onto the pilgrimage in Le Puy en Vélay, a small town in southeast France. Without faith or even an understanding of this pilgrimage, I was like a child stumbling my way along winding trails. Slowly, even unwillingly, I begin to understand what it meant to be a pilgrim and to become part of a community. My teachers were priests, hosts, villagers, church custodians and fellow pilgrims. Their lessons were challenging, humbling, yet ultimately enriching.
In this journey of pilgrimage and quest, strangers can soon find themselves deep in conversations about faith and love.
In the baked plains of Spain, under the heat of a relentless sun, I was pushed beyond what I thought was my last source of strength. As I faced new challenges, I felt like I was in middle age, worn by pain and fatigue, yet stronger in my awareness of myself, fortified by friendship and a budding faith.
In the final weeks, a period of old age, I had changed and grown, yet still had some of the most personal challenges to face. I reached Santiago, with the last ounce of strength I possessed, ready to stop, ready for this pilgrim life to end.
Most of those on a pilgrimage to Santiago stay in refuges or 'refugios' reserved for them. These are inexpensive, and first-come first-serve. No reservations, and don't try to ask someone to book a bunk-bed for you. Those who prefer something a bit more upmarket will find B &B and small hotels in most towns along the way.
On average, it takes about a month to walk it. Friends of mine who started in Geneva took two months. Others do it in bits - a week a year, for example. However long you have, will be long enough.
I haven't walked the Camino yet, but I do occasionally walk short stretches of it - the Geneva-based starting point runs right past my house in rural France and I enjoy following the European gold on blue scallop shell markers along the way. In fact on a recent trip to Santiago I took the bus out to its end and walked back - one full hour on the Camino!
The best time to go on a pilgrimage to Santiago? Most pilgrims go in July and August - there's less rain then but it's more crowded. If I were walking it all the way I might start in May, when it's warm enough and more solitary.
Is it safe for women? As safe as safe can be. You'll sleep in dorms along the way, with dozens of people, and there are security patrols along the Camino. Many women travel El Camino solo. Just use your normal travel common sense.
One drawback used to be returning home from Santiago. Flights were expensive, and trains and buses complicated and uncomfortable. In these days of very cheap international flights, you can fly back from Santiago to London and other European capitals easily and at low cost.
Pilgrims can obtain a credencial from their church before they leave, a bit like a passport. Each time you spend the night in a refuge along the way, get your credencial stamped with a 'scallop shell'. If you walk the last 100km (or cycle the last 200km) you get a bonus - the 'Compostela', a special certificate. But you have to walk that entire final distance in a stretch - no cobbling it together like I do!
And why the scallop shell? There are a variety of answers. Most tend to agree the original scallop shell could be used both as a cup and a plate. The fact that it's found on the beaches near Santiago proved that a pilgrim returning home with a scallop had actually completed the journey.

The history of redwood is as interesting and engaging as the magnificent trees themselves. For the past several thousand years, redwood forestlands have been an important part of the history of Northern California. The oldest redwood trees standing today began as seedlings more than 2,000 years ago!
The California Gold Rush, which began in 1848, forever changed the history of redwood. As thousands of people flooded into the state, there was increasing demand for housing, furniture and other goods. Much of that demand was filled by readily available redwood.
The Transcontinental Railroad, built between 1863 and 1869, further impacted the history of redwood. The railroad required vast amounts of lumber. Once the railroad was built, further markets were opened to redwood.
The history of redwood was further impacted during the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. Many of the unburned buildings were partially or wholly built of redwood. Subsequently, after the devastation, many new buildings were built of redwood.
From 1865 through 1920 redwood lumber was used heavily in construction. During this time, old growth redwood forestlands were vastly depleted. In 1850 there were approximately 2 million acres of old growth redwood forestlands. By 1910 this had been reduced to only 250,000 acres.
As the American economy continued to grow, redwood was used extensively. This put further pressure on redwood logging practices. In some cases, short-term financial gain was more important than long-term loss of productive, healthy forestlands.
The history of redwood again changed dramatically in the decade known as Redwood Summer. Beginning in the summer of 1990 environmentalists clashed with timber companies in Northern California. Tensions eased in 1999 when Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) brokered a deal to permanently protect one of the last large blocks of 7,500 acres of pristine, old growth redwoods.
Today, redwood forests are growing and thriving. Mendocino Redwood Company, LLC (MRC) is planting more trees than it harvests, and each year the total supply of redwood is increasing. While homeowners and contractors enjoy the many benefits of Mendocino redwood lumber, the company is able to invest millions of dollars in improving its forestlands and will continue to do so into the future.

'Generations of computers'.
A generation is a rough period of time over which there are no major changes or development
in that particular field. Every change in technology has been treated as a new 'generation' of
computers. Each generation has its own advantages and disadvantages.
First Generation Computers :
• Used vacuum tube technology. (Vacuum tube is a fragile glass device that can control and
amplify electronic signals.)
• Computers were very large in size and generated lot of heat.
• Speed was measured in milli‐seconds.
• Developed many problems and required frequent maintenance.
• Performed at low speed, occupied large space, consumed more power and needed air
• Example : ENIAC(Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) computer developed by
• EDSAC (Electronic Delayed Storage Automatic Computer) was another major development;
developed at Cambridge University of England; first introduced in May, 1946.
• Advantages : Vacuum tube technology made possible the advent of electronic digital
computers and these were the fastest calculating devices of that time.
• Disadvantages : Very bulky and non portable; lot of heat generated and so air‐conditioning
compulsory; frequent hardware failures and maintenance.
Second Generation computers:
• Developed in late 1950's.
• Used transistors in place of vacuum tubes. Transistors were smaller, less expensive and
generated less heat compared to vacuum tubes.
• Speed measured in micro‐seconds.
• Magnetic tapes could be used as medium for storage of data.
• Example : UNIVAC (Universal Automatic computer) was the first commercial business
• Example : IBM 1401, IBM 1410
• Advantages : Flaws of first generation computers removed; smaller in size; Faster and
more reliable; commercial production easier and cheaper.
• Disadvantages : Air conditioning required; Manufacturing process involved manual
Third Generation computers:
• Developed in mid 1960's. (1965‐71)
• Used LSIC (Large Scale Integrated Circuits) in place of transistors. IC was small and one IC
could do the job of hundreds of transistors.
• Computers became smaller and faster
• Speed measured in nano‐seconds.
• Magnetic drums used as medium of storage of information.
• Led to development of software (called Operating System) for efficient use of computer.
• Example : IBM‐360 series introduced in 1964`
• Advantages : Smaller in size; more reliable and portable; low maintenance cost, lesser
power required.
• Disadvantages : Required highly sophisticated technology for manufacturing ICs.
Fourth Generation Computers:
• Introduced in 1970's
• Used VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) Circuits containing thousands of transistors, diodes
and registers.
• Roughly more than 30,000 components could be accommodated on one chip of the size of
a postal stamp.
• Concept of micro‐processors evolved. It is a chip of silicon known as microprocessor chip.
• Could be easily placed on small table
• Price reduced and affordable and became a common equipment in small business
• Advantages : Size reduced substantially; air conditioning not required; operations much
faster; more general purpose; cheapest amongst all previous generations; desktops made
available for business/personal use.
Fifth Generation and next generation computers
• Based on ULSI (Ultra large scale integration) technology.
• Will have tremendous processing power and speed.
• Support high degree of artificial intelligence (computers will be able to think and learn and
act on their own to some extent)
• Interact with humans in ordinary languages
Advantages : More user‐friendly; reduced size; easy to operate; economical and faster;
programming much easier and simpler; emphasis shifted to networks and client server

Happy Monday!
Did you catch me in the Seams & Scissors "30 Best Sewing Bloggers Under 30" ? There are some amazing women featured in that article, and I am so thankful I got asked to participate! Go check it out if you haven't already!
I hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday. I participated in an Instagram roundup of Easter Dresses, and today I am sharing my entry.
This is the second time I have made McCalls 7505. You can see the first version here. When sewing maternity looks I really try to focus on comfort and style, but I want to make sure my clothes can get multiple uses so I tend to go for silhouettes that will look good after baby as well. Hence the reason why this pattern has quickly become a TNT (Tried and True) pattern for me. I didn't make any modifications, but shortened the length by about 3 inches.
Now, Let's talk about HEM LINES while pregnant! Something I did not account for was the fact that as the bump gets bigger, dress seem to "shrink" hahaha. This will no longer be worn as a dress. Luckily, my GO TO outfits this pregnancy involve dresses and jeans. TOGETHER! OH MY!
Since we are talking about maternity, let's do a quick bump update!
I can't believe I'm just shy of 7 months. Is it just me, or after the first baby pregnancy becomes an afterthought? I feel like I haven't had time to stop and really take it all in! I am feeling pretty exhausted, which is why my posts have been sparse. I am still sewing, and working on patterns, but finding time to get pictures taken is like finding a needle in a haystack. LOL! Baby boy is two and a half, and he's taller than some 3 and 4 year olds. Definitely not a baby anymore *sad face* I am really looking forward to spending four months at home with him though. His days are filled with Daddy, and I am so thankful that we are able to make that work. However, I'm so excited to get to bond with him while the new baby is sleeping most of the day lol.

"Mari Carmen Aponte makes the Puerto Rican community proud and has already played a constructive role in our relations with El Salvador, an important Latin American neighbor. It is about time the Senate approved her appointment. I am pleased that the Senate did not let petty partisan politics derail this highly qualified Latina to serve the United States in a high profile position and that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid moved the vote forward and tenaciously stuck by her."

I made a mistake
Published by Irish87 in the blog Irish87's blog. Views: 132
I'm not a very big family person. In fact, I don't have any family that I am proud of and that I acknowledge. The only exception are my sisters, both of whom I have known for about three weeks now.
We're only half-related, to be fair. We have the same father, but different mothers. When our father passed away (I was two at the time) our perfect family was split and they were taken to Oregon with their mother. Well, through the miracles of social networking I was able to find them. For the first two weeks everything went great and I felt a sense of utter happiness. And now that feeling has metabolized into a shapeless hell which keeps my mind unfocused and my emotions beset by silly theories.
Basically, I got frustrated that one of my sisters had suddenly stopped replying to my emails. For about a week she basically ignored me. I don't know why and there was never any explanation. There was no great secret or revelation revealed, so I didn't scare her off. And then yesterday she sends me an email and asks what I'm up to for Halloween. Still slightly angry at the fact she didn't even reply to a simple hello six days prior I told her that I wasn't doing anything. That's it. I suddenly became apathetic as a way to protect myself.
Shortly after she sent me another email stating she thinks I'm always unhappy. Since I was still angry I fired off an email describing all the ways that I AM happy and that she should probably avoid telling people when they are and are not enjoying their life. That, by the way, is why I named this blog entry: I made a mistake.
I never heard a response from her. I stayed up until 1AM because I wasn't sure if I had pissed her off or if I was correct in my own judgment. In all fairness, I don't know how to deal with women, no matter who they are. Whether they be my sister or some random stranger or my landlord. I am unable to deal with women of any sort. Shockingly, I am also gay.
I'm not really sure what to do. All of this is new territory for me. I've never had anyone in my family that I actually felt love for. Sure, that sounds terrible, but when you come from a family who thinks of abuse as a tradition then suddenly you realize why I am so confused about a proper family.
So, I made a mistake and now I don't know why to do. I really wish I was a smoker right now. Damn.
P.S.: I am unhappy.

My Holiday "Gel" NailsThursday, October 08, 2015
Hello Lovelies,
I usually have a gel manicure when I am going on my holidays I love the look a gel manicure gives, the shine and opaque look of the nails plus the wear time is around 2 weeks so brilliant for a holiday but and it's a big but, at the salon I go to a gel manicure is £27.00 and to me £27.00 is a lot of money.
I purchased the new Essie Gel Setter Top Coat a few weeks before my holidays and decided then I would bite the bullet and this year I would have a "DIY gel manicure" for my holiday nails and save some money, all the time keeping my fingers crossed the Essie wouldn't let me down. I decided to use one of the pink or coral polishes I had in my collection, that is until I was served in Boots when picking up our sun tan lotion and the sales assistant had lovely nail polish on, I asked her what it was and she said it was the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine In Grapefruit, it was a beautiful coral/pink shade and a perfect holiday shade but I have had this shade in the past and it chipped in less than 24 hours (see this post) so I was a little worried but I bought the polish anyway thinking maybe just maybe the Essie top coat would be as good as it claimed.
The night before my holiday I had my nails and toe nails painted with the Grapefruit polish using 3 coats and then 1 coat of the Essie Gel Setter Top Coat I was so pleased with the look of my nails and toe nails they were the perfect holiday shade for me and I thought they looked lovely.
I loved how glossy my nails looked and they did look just like I'd had a gel manicure and pedicure I was so impressed. I loved the shade of the polish and couldn't believe I hadn't re purchased it sooner but maybe my bad experience of chipping last time put me off? I went on my holidays and was asked by several people if I'd had gel nails for my holidays and what shade my nails and toes were and they were shocked when I told them it was nail polish, I had taken the polish with me as well as 2 Essie polishes and the Gel Setter top coat just incase my nails chipped or I fancied a change.
My nails lasted really well and then on day 8 of my holidays I got a tiny chip on my thumb nail, but to be honest they needed re painting as they had grown so much, my nails grow like wild fire on holidays, do your nails grow fast in the sun? I decided I would remove the polish and try a different one for the second week of my holidays but I was so impressed with my nails and how well they lasted and that the shine didn't fade at all and my nails looked exactly the same 8 days later as the day they were painted.
The wear time and shine and overall look of my nails is completely down to the Essie top coat especially after my last experience of using the grapefruit polish but that said it is a beautiful colour and I would highly recommend it, and if you are like me and would usually have a gel manicure for your holidays give the Essie Gel Setter top coat a try it really is amazing. I can't wait to use it over a french manicure I bet it will look amazing!
Do you usually have a gel manicure for your holidays? Would you consider a DIY gel manicure?
Thank you for reading, much love as always

Mankind slowly destroying this wondrous planet
As a keen observer of nature, the numbers of species, particularly birds, so familiar in my youth, which have vanished, is awe-inspiring.
Congregations of chattering sparrows and wagtails on the tarmacadam opposite the kitchen window; the thrushes, blackbirds, goldfinches and robins in the shrubbery and on the lawn, sadly, are now rare.
This was the first time in 40 years there wasn't an array of swallows on the telephone line to bid us their farewell before departure to warmer climates.
On a more positive note, a lone robin-red-breast popped from the hedge to pick a few crumbs during the week and continues its unpredictable visits.
I don't consider cats and dogs as predators. Birds like to play games popping up and down to their feed trays.
Pesticides and sprays, or interference with hedgerows, more efficient collection of grain and general hygiene are among the contributory factors to their demise.
According to the World Wildlife Fund's Living Planet records, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish have declined on average 52% from 1970 to 2010.
Human consumption, damage to habitat and exploitation through uncontrolled hunting, or industrial commercial fishing, are given as the primary reasons.
Information on 10,380 populations of 3,038 species was used to reach these conclusions.
Decline in freshwater species was the most frightening, with a population fall of 76% recorded.
We (mankind) are supposed to be the most intelligent species of all God's creations. Obviously not true.
Not only are we the most destructive species, we are also the most selfish.

Congratulations to Anil Kumble!!!
The Indian selectors have sprung up many surprises in the past. But this one beats them all. And it is a pleasant surprise this time, which is something very rare. Though Anil Kumble was always in the race for test captaincy, I, frankly, never expected him to be made captain. Dhoni was the clear favourite, especially considering the selectors' rather funny habit of unconditionally preferring youth to experience when it comes to new selections or appointments. Besides, every rumour that was coming out from the BCCI camp was pointing towards Dhoni's appointment as captain.
Anyway, this is great news. Kumble does deserve the honour. He is one of the players who has been toiling for the team for many years with not much recognition. Plus, his vast experience and extremely sensible way of dealing with situations will come of use now. He has always been a self motivated player and this development will motivate him even more to perform well for the team.
So one Karnataka player stepped down from the mantle and another has taken his place. There have been talks of Dravid having stepped down owing to internal pressures. How long can Kumble survive? Lets see. The Australia series will be the perfect touchstone.
Lets hope the warrior with a big heart will lead India to a memorable series victory Down Under!

A new study says that violence on television can hinder a child's sleep.
Researchers looked at the sleep habits of 565 pre-school children and found that those children who viewed age-innappropriate content before bed, slept worse than those who did not.
Children who viewed shows that were age-appropriate were 64 percent less likely to have a sleep disturance such as nightmares or trouble falling asleep.
Seattle Children's Research Institute doctors said that pre-schoolers should be kept away from any violence on television until they were older - even Bugs Bunny.
"Content that's funny for older kids can be too violent for really young children," said study author Michelle Garrison of the Research Institute, according to HealthDay.
More from GlobalPost: 3D printing - Your body parts made to order
"We really don't want them exposed to any violence at all."
ABC News reported that the new study adds to mounting evidence that television, movies and internet video, particularly those containing violence, disrupted sleep and led to health problems.
Instead of counting hours in front of the tube, this study was unique in that it looked specifically at content and was targeted to very young children.
"This study demonstrates that a healthy media use intervention can improve child sleep outcomes and adds evidence that the relationship between media and sleep in preschool-aged children is indeed causal in nature," said the researchers, according to CBC News.
The study was published in the journal Pediatrics.

The Trump Train is gathering steam, according to a new Fox News Poll that shows a 10-point swing in Donald Trump's favor over the past month and now puts the Republican nominee ahead of likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
The new poll shows Trump leading Clinton 45 percent – 42 percent. Last month, Clinton led 48 percent – 41 percent.
Although not all recent polls show Trump leading Clinton, most polls taken since Trump essentially clinched the Republican nomination show Trump making up what had been a large Clinton lead throughout the winter and early spring phase of the presidential primaries.

The poll shows Trump leading among men 55 percent – 33 percent, but losing among women, 50 percent – 36 percent.
Racially, Clinton leads among minorities, but the poll noted that in both cases, Clinton's lead over Trump is less than President Barack Obama's margin of victory over Republican Mitt Romney in 2012. Clinton leads among black voters 90 percent – 7 percent. Her lead among Hispanic voters is 62 percent – 23 percent.

Among white voters, Trump dominates. He leads Clinton among white voters 55 percent – 31 percent. His 24-point edge is higher than the advantage Romney had over Obama among whites in 2012.
Voters writing in to newspapers have expressed why Trump's popularity is so high.

"As I watch TV and listen to all these politicians saying they won't support Donald Trump, it makes my blood boil. First of all, if the politicians had done their jobs in Washington, Trump would not have gotten so many votes," wrote Angelo DiBiagio of Forks Township, Pa., who added, "Trump owes no favors to anyone. That worries all these big companies that will need to abandon China, Mexico, etc. They favor Hillary Clinton because they will be safe, because of the millions of dollars she is getting from them."
"It absolutely astounds me that so many talking heads cannot figure out why Donald Trump is winning the primaries," wrote Pat Noll of Middleburg, Fla. "For more years than I can count the political class has be taking advantage of the voters. Promising things that they never deliver. Enacting laws that only part of the population has to follow. Passing legislation that they think is better for us, as if they are the only people who have brains."
She had one more thought about the anti-Trump contingent.
"And if all the stars in Hollywood leave the country because Trump is elected, I don't see the downside," she wrote.

As the world's fifth largest producer of wine, after France, Italy, Spain and the United States, Argentina has plenty to offer the international wine market in regards to both quantity and quality. Despite this being the case for several decades now, it has only been since the end of the twentieth century that the Argentinian wine industry has really begun to up their game when it comes to the methods and techniques required to produce world class wines, which are both representative of their country and region of origin, and which stand alone as complex, interesting and delicious wines to drink. As Argentina became a serious contender in the international wine market, wineries previously concerned primarily with high volumes began to change their priorities, and formerly struggling small bodegas and independent wineries began to find success. Nowadays, well crafted wines from smaller vineyards in Argentina are being lauded as some of the finest in the world, and the country is starting to reap the benefits of its heritage, which include some very old vines, and up to four centuries of experience in wine production.
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
Patagonia is not a region which immediately comes to mind when considering ideal locations for viticulture, which is something which makes Patagonia's annual output of fine wines all the more impressive. Situated in the very south of South America, and lying on both the Argentinian and Chilean sides of the Andean mountains, Patagonia has been settled in by many different nationalities over the centuries, making it a fascinating place for wine production and culture. Perhaps due to the eclectic mix of people who made Patagonia their home, the wines of the region are an interesting mix of many European style wines – far more 'old world' in style than other wines found elsewhere in Argentina or Chile. Whilst red wine varietals such as Pinot Noir and Malbec thrive quite happily in the Patagonian soils, it is the region's white wine grapes; Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminer which are most widely admired for the wines they produce.

We've had U-Verse for 3 months. In those three months, it has been perfect. Never went down once, always excellent stats.
Last night, it went down for about 4 hours. What was weird is that the DSL link (broadband link) was up, according to the router, just no Internet or phone service. Service was restored early this AM and since then, things have gone to hell. Spotty internet connection, lots of errors (retrains, line issues, etc.), slow speed.
Have other experienced this where a formerly perfect connection just turns to crap suddenly?
I am wondering if the RG might have gone bad, or if AT&T screwed up something on their end.
Yep, same thing happened to me here in KC. I got home 12:30am and saw the phone light was out on my Gateway, but Service, Broadband, and everything else was lit. I rebooted the Gateway and lost everything. I called Tech support and they told me there was an outage and the tech support center's servers went down also so they couldn't help me. I decided to go to bed and try again in the morning. That morning, everything was showing up (all lights on, TV's working fine, phone service works) but my internet was HORRIBLE! 0.21 download, 0.41 upload. I called Tech and after Tier 1 couldn't help, I was transferred to Tier 2 where they ran a line test and said I was showing an incredible amount errors on my drop line (30K-1 mil+). So, I have an I&R tech coming out to check my drop line. My question is I've had U-verse for 3 weeks now with flawless service, and all of a sudden my line is bad? My only guess is maybe something happened to the line? Just strange an outage and then everything falls apart. I'm not giving up hope yet!
Interesting -- you're in KC -- I am in Lawrence. Wonder if they had some huge regional issue in this part of the country?
We called and had to argue with Tier 1 for half an hour before they finally agreed to send someone out. As of right now, our connection is up, but like you, our speeds are horrible, only about 1-4 down and .5 to 1 up (it bounces around terribly from test to test)
This all after over two months of perfect service where the speed never dropped below 17/1.45 and without any line errors.
FWIW, I've had Uverse TV and Internet for 5 months, and so far, it has been flawless to this day! I've NEVER noticed the Interent go down, and as for TV, only a few glitches with the DVR in the early days, but that's it. I couldn't be happier.
I'm sorry you guys are having issues, but hopefully it gets resolved and goes back to happy-land again for you both soon!
I just got U-verse (internet, TV, phone) in Riverside, CA 92882 a little over a week ago. I have noticed frequent sporadic loss of connection on the RG, affecting internet, TV, and phone service, for usually 5 minutes at a time 3x between Pm and Pm on Monday 16th for instance).
Tuesday 17 November 6:09pm I lost connection. Although there were at least 2 times between then and 11pm that service was temporarily restored (a few minutes), it was still down at 6:00am Wed 18 November when I left for work (where I do have internet and phone access!).
a. Any chance this is a system-wide or regional issue, rather than just one isolated to my (and other above posters') locations? Is there a URL where such are posted to inform the customers and maybe cut down on phone calls, because I would totally check a network status/open tickets area if I could.
b. If I have something scheduled to record during one of these periods, is it recorded someplace else? I noticed that when the U-verse connection was lost, I could not watch any of my previously recorded shows, leading me to suspect that they are not really recorded locally on my DVR, but offsite and then fetched on demand perhaps?
c. Is there a remote tool for checking my connection status? I noticed in the Support area it will let you select Internet, and tell them that you have no connection ... But then it proceeds to run a Network Test ... Seemed odd to me because if my U-verse connected PC did NOT have internet connectivity, it could not reach the Support site to run such a Test; and using a different machine on a non-U-verse internet connection would probably give worthless results to the Test.
Sorry for the new questions, I tried to search the site but must not have had the right keywords to find the answers. I hope when I get home it is working.
Add me to the list of noticing a difference. I have had U-verse for about 3 weeks. The speed has seemed to slow down since last night. And at the same time I had issues with my PS3 not connecting properly. That is back up and running as of right now.
Issues like this occurred quite a bit with my old carrier (TWC), so as long as this is infrequent I can live with it.
BTW: I am in San Diego.
i live in La Mesa, CA and just yesterday the internet started acting up. seems like it is super slow now.
my xbox 360 used to have 4 green bars when playing on XBox Live and it is now down to 1 small red one so the connection is horribly slow.
i just got off chating with tech support online and he said he changed the channels on the router and that I should contact microsoft with the new info so they can guide me to change the settings on my xbox but i dont think that will resolve anything.
add to the fact that the change on the computers isnt even that noticeable, its still slow compared to how it used to be ..
if anyone has a solution. please let us know!!
I'm actually experiencing the SAME problem. Service was good and then DSL went out the door as of yesterday. Really bad with lots of retries and lost packets. I'm actually waiting for a call back now from a Tier 2 supervisor about this, because since we've had U-Verse service it's been ONE PROBLEM after another. First our phone line and they FINALLY get that fix a WEEK later, then our TV Service is not program set up correctly, get that fixed yesterday and now it's Internet. There was a reason WHY I got away from AT&T a LONG time ago and now I'm remembering WHY I did.
The ONLY way to really get great service and help is to speak with a Tier 2 supervisor and I have to say service with the one supervisor was great and I really hope he calls back so we can FIX our Internet issue. So, I will beat it's not on your end if all was working great before. Good Luck.

Picture: Paul Weller performing at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer Trust London, England - 10.04.08
Rock veteran Paul Weller has warned Britain's Queen Elizabeth II he'll snub future invitations to become a CBE - because he doesn't approve of the monarchy.
The Wildwood singer recently turned down the Commander of the Order of the British Empire honour, insisting he'd feel hypocritical if he accepted it, reports Gigwise.com.
He says, "I'm not really into it. It's not my sort of thing. It would have been a bit hypocritical for me to accept that, I don't really agree with it.
"I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service."

After a processional - and frankly quite dull - Round 15 everyone was hoping for a little more excitement for Round 16 on Sunday afternoon. We didn't really get any once the initial post-start pushing and shoving was done with, at least not in the Championship Class. The National Class lads actually rose to the occasion and provided a most absorbing scuffle. But more of that later.
Needless to say we were still missing Basil Shaaban (Comtec) and Martin Kudzak (Fluid Motorsport) from the Invitation Class and National Class respectively, the two of them out of action as a result of crashes on Saturday that left their cars in a state that couldn't be fixed in the time - and with the resources - available to their teams.
At the start, Oliver Jarvis (Carlin Motorsport) turned pole into the lead, getting the drop on team-mate Maro Engel, who made a very poor start, almost jumping it, then stopping, creeping and finally getting away. Behind the two of them, Mike Conway (Raikkonen Robertson Racing) made a much better getaway to claim 3rd place from hard-charging Yelmer Buurman (Fortec Motorsport). Bruno Senna also made a good start, but ended up 5th anyway after the pair in front of him were to busy with each other for him to be able to get through. At the front Jarvis wasted no time setting a fastest lap that would stand for the rest of the race, but then settled in to keep as much of a gap as possible between himself and Engel, who could only repeat his morning's performance and keep on chipping away at the gap.
In the National Class Juho Annala (Performance Racing) again lost out at the start, this time to Cristiano Morgado (Fluid Motorsport), the Finn again finding that the line he was taking was the wrong one! He slotted in right behind Morgado, while the series leader Rodolfo Gonzalez (T-Sport) was right on his rear wing. Just for good measure, Alex Waters (Promatecme F3) decided that he'd like to join the group too, and the rookie, in only his second race, was able to stay with them for a lot longer than you might expect. It was a creditable effort on the part of the youngster, but the three in front of him have considerably more experience than him, and eventually he had to drop back, leaving them to run nose-to-tail for lap after lap, with Gonzalez making occasional attacks on Annala only to have the door slammed firmly in his face, and Annala taking the odd look at Morgado but then thinking better of it when it looked as if they might both end up in the gravel if he persisted..
Back in the Championship Class things were less than thrilling.
Stephen Jelley (Raikkonen Robertson Racing) was now back in a somewhat distant 8th, not far from Christian Bakkerud but not in a position to improve his own placing at all. Karl Reindler (Alan Docking Racing) was closing in on Salvador Duran (Hitech Racing) but they weren't even in the points, and it didn't look like it would become a serious attempt anytime soon. Engel was busy chipping away at his teammate for the lead, but Jarvis seemed to have the measure of him, and Senna was holding off James Walker (Hitech Racing), but there again it never really looked likely to change. What did happened was that Jelley managed to get closer to James Jakes (Hitech Racing) and took a quick look, but even that wasn't going to come to much.
And then Alberto Valerio (Cesario Formula UK) slithered off into the gravel at Paddock Hill Bend and got stuck. With the lanky Brazilian stranded just where any other car leaving the track would likely hit him, the organisers had no choice but to put out the Safety Car boards and bring the field back under control while the marshals effected a rescue.
The order on lap 14 (of a potential 22 laps) was Jarvis leading from Engel, Conway, Buurman, Senna, Walker, Jakes, Jelley, Bakkerud and Stuart Hall (T-Sport). Jonathan Kennard (Alan Docking Racing) was just outside the points, in 11th, with Duran and Reindler behind him. The National Class train of Morgado, Annala and Gonzalez was next, from Waters, Keiko Ihara (Carlin Motorsport) and Rodolfo Avila (Performance Racing).
At the restart, Jarvis kept his cool and held off Engel, who did his best to stay with his team-mate. Conway, on the other hand, dropped back quite a long way, and almost seemed to go to sleep, which meant he ended up with Buurman all over him. The Dutchman really wanted that 3rd place back if he could possibly get it, and he was quite determined to get it if he could.
The restart was the signal for the battle for the National Class to start hotting up again too, the three of the seemingly glued together out there. Gonzalez was so close it's unlikely Annala could see anything else in his mirrors apart from the T-Sport car, but he wasn't about to give an inch, and Morgado was definitely not letting go of what looked likely to be his first win in the category, not after he's been the bridesmaid so many time this year.
While they were battling it out, behind them Ihara had gone off at Paddock Hill Bend, and had managed to drive all the way through the gravel and back out the other side, only to get no further than Hawthorns, where she went off for good. That seemed to unsettle Avila, who also crashed out, again bending the car substantially and bringing out the red flags. The race result was declared as at the end of lap 18 and that was the end of that.
Jarvis claimed his 2nd win of the year from Engel, Jarvis moving into 2nd place in the championship chase behind Conway, and Engel moving up to 4th, a handful of points behind Senna, who really hasn't had much luck of late. Behind the two of them, Conway held off Buurman for 3rd, while Senna finished 5th, ahead of Walker, Jakes, Jelley, Bakkerud and Hall. Kennard was the first finisher outside the points, ahead of Duran and Reindler. The National Class went the way of Morgado, who was utterly delighted at winning at last, from Annala, who was philosophical about being beaten when he'd been on pole, Gonzalez and Waters. There were no other finishers.
The extra points for fastest lap went to Jarvis (in the Championship Class) and Morgado (National Class).
Next Race Meeting: Rounds 17 & 18, Mugello, Italy, September 15th/17th.

Mary Caddell, of the Royal College of Midwives in Northern Ireland, warned: 'Any surgical procedure where there are excisions through the skin creates the potential for infection. Given our high rates of sections, the danger of MRSA getting into maternity wards is increasing.'
The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety said it did not record rates of MRSA infection in certain hospital departments, including maternity.
One of the UK's leading experts on midwifery agreed with the college that a high rate of Caesarean procedures would entail greater risk of MRSA. Speaking on Friday at the launch of an international network for midwifery researchers at the University of Ulster, Professor Marlene Sinclair, who lectures on midwifery at Ulster, said: 'The RCM are right to be concerned about the danger of infection in maternity units.' She added: 'It isn't just sections that raises the risk - there are other procedures where surgical incisions are employed that can open up the possibility of infection.'

The Deathday Party Trailer (2014)
19 September 2014 Horror, Thriller 86 mins
The debut feature of New Zealand-born Eddie Tse, the film centers on a happily married, child-expectant couple, played by Archie Kao and Anita Yuen, who experience an accident that leaves Kao a full-bodied cripple. After expressing his wish to be euthanized, Yuen must deal with the criminality of her actions and the legal consequences on her and her daughter's lives. Soon after, Yuen is caught up in an investigation by law enforcement that utilizes mind-simulation technology to extract a confession from within her. But this unique element of the film fails to externalize her internal strife in any compelling way and merely adds another cheaply decorated set in addition to a flat storyline.

I don't think any race can cause corruption of the object or packfiles because of the way they are written. At GitHub, every case of file-level corruption we've seen has been a filesystem issue. So I think the main thing systemic/race issue to worry about is missing objects. And since git only deletes objects during a prune (assuming you are using git-gc or "repack -A" so that repack cannot drop objects), I think prune is the only thing to watch out for. The --expire time saves us from the obvious races where you write object X but have not yet referenced it, and a simultaneous prune wants to delete it. However, it's possible that you have an old object that is unreferenced, but would become referenced as a result of an in-progress operation. For example, commit X is unreferenced and ready to be pruned, you build commit Y on top of it, but before you write the ref, git-prune removes X. The server-side version of that would happen via receive-pack, and is even more unlikely, because X would have to be referenced initially for us to advertise it. So it's something like: 1. The repo has a ref R pointing at commit X. 2. A user starts a push to another ref, Q, of commit Y that builds on X. Git advertises ref R, so the sender knows they do not need to send X, but only Y. The user then proceeds to send the packfile (which might take a very long time). 3. Meanwhile, another user deletes ref R. X becomes unreferenced. 4. After step 3 but before step 2 has finished, somebody runs prune (this might sound unlikely, but if you kick off a "gc" job after each push, or after N pushes, it's not so unlikely). It sees that X is unreferenced, and it may very well be older than the --expire setting. Prune deletes X. 5. The packfile in (2) arrives, and receive-pack attempts to update the refs. So it's even a bit more unlikely than the local case, because receive-pack would not otherwise build on dangling objects. You have to race steps (2) and (3) just to create the situation. Then we have an extra protection in the form of check_everything_connected, which receive-pack runs before writing the refs into place. So if step 4 happens while the packfile is being sent (which is the most likely case, since it is the longest stretch of receive-pack's time), we would still catch it there and reject the push (annoying to the user, but the repo remains consistent). However, that's not foolproof. We might hit step 4 after we've checked that everything is connected but right before we write the ref. In which case we drop X, which has just become referenced, and we have a missing object. So I think it's possible. But I have never actually seen it in practice, and come up with this scenario only by brainstorming "what could go wrong" scenarios. This could be mitigated if there was a "proposed refs" storage. Receive-pack would write a note saying "consider Y for pruning purposes, but it's not really referenced yet", check connectivity for Y against the current refs, and then eventually write Y to its real ref (or reject it if there are problems). Prune would either run before the "proposed" note is written, which would mean it deletes X, but the connectivity check fails. Or it would run after, in which case it would leave X alone. > For example, can *any* type of network error or race condition cause > this? (Say, can one push writes an object, then fails an update > check, and a later push succeeds and races against a gc that removes > the unreachable object?) Or... the repo is pretty large -- about 6-7 > GB, so could size cause a race that would not show up on a smaller > repo? The above is the only open issue I know about. I don't think it is dependent on repo size, but the window is widened for a really large push, because rev-list takes longer to run. It does not widen if you have receive.fsckobjects set, because that happens before we do the connectivity check (and the connectivity check is run in a sub-process, so the race timer starts when we exec rev-list, which may open and mmap packfiles or otherwise cache the presence of X in memory). > Anything else I can watch out for or caution the team about? That's the only open issue I know about for missing objects. There is a race with simultaneously deleting and packing refs. It doesn't cause object db corruption, but it will cause refs to "rewind" back to their packed versions. I have seen that one in practice (though relatively rare). I fixed it in b3f1280, which is not yet in any released version. > The symptom is usually a disk space crunch caused by tmp_pack_* files > left around by auto-gc. Presumably the missing objects failed the gc > and so it left the files around, and they eventually accumulate enough > to cause disk full errors. (If a gc ever succeeded, I suspect these > files would go away, but that requires manual intervention). Gc shouldn't be leaving around tmp_pack_* unless it is actually dying during the pack-objects phase. In my experience, stale tmp_pack_* objects are more likely a sign of a failed push (e.g., the client hangs up in the middle, or fsck rejects the pack). We have historically left them in place to facilitate analysis of the failure. At GitHub, we've taken to just cleaning them up aggressively (I think after an hour), though I am tempted to put in an optional signal/atexit handler to clean them up when index-pack fails. The forensics are occasionally interesting (e.g., finding weird fsck problems), but large pushes can waste a lot of disk space in the interim. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Syrian Forces Kill Mourners at A funeral, raising death toll to 47(Bloomberg)
Syrian forces killed at least three people in a funeral procession today for eight anti-government activists killed yesterday, raising the two-day death toll to at least 47, the Associated Pressreported.
President Barack Obama is seeking to push pro-democracy movements that ousted longtime leaders in Tunisia and Egypt to create broader, regional changes, including a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians. In a May 19 speech, Obama urged an end to crackdowns on protesters and told Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to lead a peaceful transition to democracy or "get out of the way."
Amre Moussa, secretary general of the Arab League, says Assad, whose family has ruled the country for 40 years, could remain in power if he "accelerates the pace towards reform."
"It is possible, but for a very short window of opportunity," Moussa, a former foreign minister ofEgypt, said on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS," scheduled to air tomorrow.
Protesters in Bahrain have also faced government crackdowns. In Libya, rebels are engaged with a civil war with forces loyal to leader Muammar Qaddafi and Moussa said he doubted Qaddafi had the same chance as Assad.
"After all this bloodshed and all this confrontation, I don't think Libya can get back to the status quo as if nothing happened," Moussa said.
Qaddafi Hiding
Qaddafi, who is "effectively" in hiding, has only limited ability to communicate with his loyalist forces as a result of NATO's air campaign, an alliance spokesman said yesterday.
Crude oil for June delivery rose $1.05 to close at $99.49 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange yesterday. The prices fell 16 cents this week and have risen 15 percent since the Libya rebellion began February 17.
Syria's National Organization for Human Rights, whose leader Ammar Qurabi is in Turkey, said 44 people were killed yesterday, most in the province of Idlib and the central region of Homs. Syria, which has blamed the violence on armed gangs, said 17 died in the Friday clashes.
At least 900 people have died since Syrians began protesting against Assad's 11-year rule two months ago, according to the Associated Press. The news service reported that tens of thousands of people took part in the funeral today.

Unanswered: VBA read table from certain record till certain record
I have a question about a code I want to write in Access. I have a table with an IDnumber, a catogory number and a subcategory number (see sheet1 in the attached file). For one person there are multiple records; a new record for each new category.subcategory. And there might be more than one person under the same ID. When the category.subcategory start over at 1.110 under the same ID, this means there is also another person known under this ID.
The records are in sequence, so that the first time category 1-4 occur under a certain ID, these belong to the first person.
I want to make a table that looks like the table in sheet2. So that there is one row per person with al data.
I thought that the best way to do this might be to read the table with VBA from the first time category.subcategory 1.110 occurs till the second time this occurs. All the records in between will than be pasted into a new table, converting rows to columns. But I have no idea how to do this, or if it is even possible.
Hope someone can help me!
