--Izzy Stradlin Joins Guns N' Roses For A Song In Las VegasGuns N' Roses got a little help from the past this weekend as they closed out their Las Vegas residency. "Rolling Stone" says original guitarist Izzy Stradlin joined the band at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino for the final "Appetite for Democracy" show on Saturday. Stradlin played guitar and sang lead on the song "14 Years," which he originally recorded with GNR for the band's 1991 album "Use Your Illusion 2." This is the second time this year Stradlin has performed with Axl Rose and company. He also took the stage during the group's London concert back in May.Stradlin originally left Guns N' Roses in 1991. He was one of the band members inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, but chose not to appear at the ceremony and instead accepted the honor through a statement.--Rage Against The Machine Reissue Debut Album TodayRage Against the Machine fans can celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band's self-titled debut album today with a special remastered edition, which is in stores now. The new version of the album -- dubbed "Rage Against the Machine XX" -- includes new liner notes written by Public Enemy's Chuck D, and comes in a variety of format options. There's the remastered CD version with three bonus tracks; the double CD and bonus DVD package; or the deluxe box set edition. The latter comes with two CDs, two DVDs, a vinyl LP, a two-sided poster and a 40-page booklet. Some of the bonus material includes b-sides from the era, Rage Against the Machine's first demo, music videos, and plenty of live footage.Rage guitarist Tom Morello recently told "Billboard" he and his bandmates are "really psyched to be putting this out for the fans." And those fans will have to be satisfied with that for now, as Morello also said the band has no plans as of yet to record another album.--Metallica To Be Featured In New "Pro Skater" Video GameMetallica's James Hetfield and Rob Trujillio will be doing a different kind of shredding next month. "NME" says the metal stars are set to appear as characters in an upcoming special download pack for the video game "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD." They'll join the list of previous "Pro Skater" musical guest characters, which includes the late Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch, Blink 182's Travis Barker, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, and Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie. As for the latest edition, players will also be able to skate around to Metallica's song "All Nightmare Long," from their 2008 album "Death Magnetic." The "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD Revert Pack" is scheduled to be released on December 4th.--Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx EngagedMotley Crue's Nikki Sixx is on his way to being a married man once again. The rocker, who'll be 54 next month, states in a Facebook post that he and his 27-year-old girlfriend Courtney Bingham are engaged. He says he "popped the question and she said YES" during their recent vacation in St. Bart's. Sixx adds that the two of them as well as their families are "beyond happy," and they appreciate all the congratulations they've been receiving through social media. This will be Nikki's third trip down the aisle. The bassist was married for seven years to "Playboy" Playmate Brandi Brandt, and spent eleven years with "Playboy" Playmate and actress Donna D'Errico. His two-year relationship with "L.A. Ink's" Kat Von D ended in August 2010. He met Courtney three months later.--Jimi Hendrix Remembered On 70th Birth AnniversaryToday would have been the late Jimi Hendrix's 70th birthday. While the rock legend passed away more than 40 years ago, he's far from forgotten. He continues to be remembered and honored today in a number of ways. Jimi's sister, Janie Hendrix, works to protect and preserve her famous brother's legacy through Experience Hendrix. In honor of Jimi's 70th birthday, she recently released "The Ultimate Lyric Book, a compilation of song lyrics in their original, handwritten form. Experience Hendrix has also teamed up with Lyric Culture to create a Hendrix clothing line.An exhibit just opened this month at the Experience Music Project Museum in Jimi's hometown of Seattle, which sheds new light on the late guitar icon's rise to fame. Meanwhile, a Hendrix biopic starring OutKast's Andre Benjamin is in the works. Producers hope to screen "All Is By My Side" at the Sundance Film Festival in January. In addition, a new album of previously unreleased material, titled "People, Hell and Angels," is slated for release on March 5th.--Deluxe Reissues Of Led Zeppelin Catalog In The WorksLed Zeppelin's Jimmy Page is prepping deluxe reissues of all of the band's studio albums. The guitarist tells "Rolling Stone" each disc will feature "added sonic and visual thrills." While he admits the group didn't record a lot of extra material for each album, he says there's still "an overage of material" from each album, which includes "different versions of things" and "different approaches to the mixes." Page explains the band experimented in the studio, doing things like record the drums in a hallway, and he believes "it will be fascinating for people to witness the work in progress." The rocker adds that he's combing through the archives for live recordings and film footage to use as additional bonus material. He also promises that he's "not just throwing on any old flotsam and jetsam," but the albums will include "really substantial stuff."Page can't say just when the first Zeppelin deluxe reissue will hit stores. While he admits he'd like for it to be "sooner rather than later," he explains that he, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones all have to be "in agreement" over the material. But Jimmy expects the rollout will start next year and go on "for a while." Led Zeppelin just released the live album and film "Celebration Day," which features the band's 2007 London reunion concert.--Today's BirthdaysAnthrax drummer Charlie Benante is 50.Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin is 50.Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy is 43.

Table arrangements for your wedding in with a summery, seaside theme.
For this seaside tablescape, arrangements of white roses and calla lilies are set off by candles nestled into sand-filled glass vessels.
Groupings of white dahlias, tulips, hydrangeas, and chrysanthemums are placed in galvanized buckets in various sizes to create fresh, fragrant centerpieces reminiscent of the open sea. Nestled in between are small lanterns, conveying the charm of old lighthouses.
Tall cobalt-blue vases filled with white orchids look even more striking in a seaside setting.
Curled sago palm leaves, roses, ranunculus, orchids, and a single spike of Asplenium 'Crispy Wave' create a summery arrangement inspired by tropical blooms.
Sizeable sculptural shells -- large conch, marlin spike shells, and murex -- mix with cattleya orchids to surround a vase filled with tiny shells and a pillar candle. Painted manzanita branches stand in for real coral.
These casual arrangements of pincushion protea, red ginger, and white tuberose placed in Mason jars add a pop of color to any tablescape.

Braden River High senior Sam Massenburg captured the Class 2A- District 11 championship at 170 pounds Feb. 2, becoming the second wrestler in school history to win a district championship. Massenburg followed up his performance with a second-place finish at the Class 2A-Region 3 tournament Feb. 8 and Feb. 9, at Charlotte High. As the regional runner-up, Massenburg, who is the only Pirate wrestler to win a district championship and finish as the regional runner-up, earned a berth in the FHSAA Finals Feb. 15 and Feb. 16, at the Lakeland Center.
Now, Massenburg could become the first Braden River wrestler to place at the state tournament.
"I was ecstatic when I won the district championship. I'm proud that I made it so far — knowing where I came from and making myself into a champion.
I lost every match my freshman year. My mentality about things changed.
It felt great. I've never been to the state tournament before, so this is a whole new door that I'm walking through, I guess.
I want to place first at the state meet. I always want to be the best or be the best that I can be. I've been working hard and training hard every day.
Wrestling is a man-to-man sport. I like team sports, too, but I like to be able to advance myself.
That's my everything. Being a state champion is what I've been training for. Knowing all of the hard work and time I put into it, I would feel accomplished.
Everything about wrestling is hard; your love of the sport and making sure you're always strong. If you lose, you really have to know it's what you want to do.
Winning districts and having my team there to support me was the greatest moment. Having their (help) felt really good and (helped) account for my success."

Went to the Indian Road Cafe for the first time today. I ordered eggs, cheese and red peppers on multigrain toast. The bread was yummy but the eggs too dry on the almost non existent peppers. They don't have table service so we ordered at the counter. Two girls behind the counter were as slow as turtles, very jumpy and almost too nervous to serve people. Place is nice and cozy. Love the decor and the feeling of sitting in a place that looks of another era.... Will go back and hope that the table service is a little bit better.

I went to this cafe for the first time recently on a Saturday morning and was delighted to find that it had the same kind of exuberant energy as the Greenwich Village scene of the 60s. How nice for someone of my generation (Depression-era birth) to discover that some of what was so exciting when I was a young man still exists.

I love coming here because I do not feel like I'm in NYC. It's great atmosphere, drinks are good and cafe bar is to par. However the food is lacking taste and somewhat disappointing. It's bland and the menu is not very exciting especially for the price that's being offered. So the only thing is missing in this place is good tasty food! Please revamp the food choices. PS. Glad to see they have vegan choices.
Posted by Anonymous on 11/17/2011
Food is very good but measly portions. Service could be vastly improved. Every time I go I feel like I'm getting the "bum's rush". They should put some baffles up on the ceiling to quiet the room a bit - not much but could stand to roll off about 15-20 db for those busy times. Also would be nice to put up a PLACE ORDER HERE sign for the barista - several times I have been passed by because someone came along and stood closer to the person behind the counter after I had been there for several minutes. This is a gem of a place - enormously needed in this dreadful community of fake stores and cheap knock-offs. I feel like I'm back in my beloved Marin County when I walk through the doors. Wishing the portions were about 20% larger and the service needs a lot of work. Otherwise my favorite place in Inwood. Moved here a year.5 ago from UES.

Been here three times now and was disappointed more with each visit. I'm not going back again. The service is non existent - they just don't "see" you. We had to ask for a waiter, and when he arrived he seemed annoyed and frustrated. He gave us our menus , then we asked if we could order our drinks when he started to walk away. He was not happy to have to take our drink order. He eventually came back for our food order - but we had still not gotten our drinks !!! When we asked for them he was again annoyed or frustrated. When you're out for breakfast - you want your coffee ASAP !! Yes ?? Yes !! The food was not hot, and overall not great, small portions ~~ and the last straw was being charged for a refill on our coffees!! Are you kidding me !! The cups were not even full to the top to start with and we have to pay for a refill. Never heard of such a thing. What a shame- the place has such potential- but I'm not willing to wait for them to figure it out. Service is everything. Less than great food can be accompanied by great service and customers will go away with a good experience, but... excellent food~~ accompanied by poor service is never a good experience . And not soon forgotten. This restaurant needs to provide good service, better food, better portions and cut the ridiculous charge for refills on coffee !!

This is such a great place, and I've even been able to convince friends from as far as Queens to come over for Wednesday trivia night. The lobster mac&cheese is supposed to be their big item, but their sandwiches and wraps are great, and they have a huge variety of wine and beer. Their corner location allows for a much larger restaurant than anything else in the area. Monday night's open mike night is also a good time.
Posted by Julie Larson on 03/27/2010
This little place is such a treat to have in the neighborhood- it is truly local to those of each that live in this micro neighborhood. On any given night you will run into a few neighbors from your building. The owners and staff have made such an effort to please their customers with the food, entertainment, community involvement. It knows its audience and is working hard to please them. Tasty and inventive dishes with decent portions, good wine and beer list. I always liked the place and it has really improved as they've expanded their capabilities in the kitchen. They are conscientious about their ingredients, and my meals there have been wholesome and healthy.

Of holes and depressions on the great barrier reef coast - and a physict's toolbox to study them
Stieglitz, T., and Ridd, P. (2011) Of holes and depressions on the great barrier reef coast - and a physict's toolbox to study them. Abstracts from the Third Nereis Park Conference: benthic processes in a globally changing environment.

Like any other coastline of the world, the Great Barrier Reef's coast and seafloor is riddled with holes and depressions created by burrowing animals. We present an overview over studies of tidal irrigation of crustacean burrows in mangrove forests, and of mysterious (and not so mysterious) biogenic holes and mounds on the seafloor, surrounding coral reefs and shipwrecks. The important role of crustacean burrows to the health of mangrove forests will be discussed, and the role of seafloor bioturbators as habitat engineers for coral assemblages will be demonstrated.
A geophysical toolbox will be presented, which includes (a) centimeter-scale geoelectric methods to locate macroscopic burrows and investigate water flux through burrows, (b) mass balance of the natural radionuclide 222Rn to determine water exchange between mangrove forests and creeks (forest-scale) and (c) high resolution 3D mapping of the seafloor with multibeam echosounders to study the morphology of bioturbation features in greater than diving depth (decimeter to kilometer scale).

IFAs not likely to be a part of this compliance process
Mumbai: In a bid to check mis-selling by distributors, capital market regulator SEBI has written to AMCs to identify each category of distributors and put in place a sales process which has to be adhered to by distributors.
This issue was discussed by the members of SEBI Mutual Fund Advisory Committee last year on 'Right Selling vs. Mis-selling'. The guidelines would require profiling products aligned with the risk appetite of investors. The members had also proposed recording calls made to clients for canvassing a product. Distributors will also need to take an acknowledgement receipt from investors.
The rules are believed to be meant to be implemented by national distributors first.
Regulating IFAs across the country is a tough task for the industry. IFAs, according to fund officials will be out of the purview of this process. However, they do not rule out the possibility of such a move going ahead.
"SEBI is asking us how we are raising the bar to protect investor interest and check mis-selling," said a sales head of a leading fund house.
The rules require lot of documentation to be done on the part of distributors. AMCs will have to first update SEBI on the type of distributor they are dealing with. AMCs will then communicate the formal sales process to their distributors. The rules are likely to result in extensive documentation for institutional distributors.
Cafemutual had earlier reported about SEBI's plan to monitor distributor practices.

Having successfully wrested control of one-sixth of what used to be called the free market, Democrats in Congress are suddenly energized by the issue of political intimidation and even threats of violence. Such concerns were conspicuous by their absence when Black Panther goons patrolled Philadelphia voting booths carrying truncheons, or when SEIU thugs beat down tea partiers who left the plantation, but now it's personal.
This is either a legitimate concern arising from the mutual antagonisms of increasingly polarized body politic, or the unseemly donning of the victim's mantle by a political party that dominates the federal government of the most powerful country in the world. Or both.
The House Majority Leader voiced his concerns yesterday:
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is warning that some of his Democratic colleagues are being threatened with violence when they go back to their districts — and he wants Republicans to stand up and condemn the threats.
he Maryland Democrat said more than 10 House Democrats have reported incidents of threats or other forms of harassment about their support of the highly divisive health insurance overhaul vote. Hoyer emphasized that he didn't have a specific number of threats and that was just an estimate.
Hoyer – credit where it's due – did a masterful job of counting to 216 on Sunday. Yesterday he had difficulty counting to maybe 10.
For the record – although I hope it scarce need be said – your correspondent is utterly opposed to and roundly condemns acts of violence or the threat of violence in our political discourse. The popular culture has already become so gross and vulgar that one may at least hope that a higher standard still obtains within the political culture of the world's oldest democracy.
But – and you knew there had to be a but – I swore an oath to God that I would support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That oath did not bear an expiration date. When I see those who likewise swore such an oath apparently view that sacred document as a mere impediment to their no doubt well-intentioned policy and political ambitions, I get fidgety.
I forswear violence against those who would bring no violence to me or mine, but I will not be tyrannized. I will speak loudly and often, and refuse to be silenced, shouted down or shamed. I will work assiduously to protect the precious character of our unique and fragile national experiment in liberty, and work through our democratic process to oppose those who would make my choices for me.
And I am legion.

I've heard some tragic stories in my time. Entire families wiped out in earthquakes, Stalinist persecutions, village thuggery, organized crime murders ...

Surely "Jesus wept"?
I think we all need to know more about his relations with his unfavourite wife. Perhaps someone could induce one or other of them to slip us a few hints in print?
Since his unfavourite wife is Julie Burchill, I will take the opposite point of view from Charlie and encourage someone, anyone, to slip her a few quid in exchange for shutting up about the subject.
I thought that was Charlie's point, but perhaps the gain on my irony detector is too high.
Nope, you got it Alex.
I can't distinguish reliably between Tony Parsons and Toby Young. Does this make me a bad person?
I don't know but neither can I, fwiw. Also, I couldn't care less which was which, which probably makes me even worse.
Simple mnemonic: Tony Parsons looks a bit like Tony Blair, and Toby Young looks a bit like a Toby jug.
and Toby Young looks a bit like a Toby jug.
He has a great big hole in his head?
A friend, who I think lurks here (Hi, J!), upped the ante on even this by noting recently that two of his exes have slept with Graham Linehan.
That's much better than having slept with both Toby Parsons and the other one.
Surely the answer is just Tony: prolier than thou, Toby: posher than thou.
That's not quite right. Toby desperately wants to be posher than thou. His whole free school thing is symptomatic of that inferiority complex.
I think that's Alex's point.

NSRI Station 8 in Hout Bay Harbour,South Africa
Front page news,the day after the storm and the loss of Gulliver of Knysna,the newspaper is the local language Die Burger.
Gulliver is washed up the rocky shore,a total wreck,to be sold as she was to Charles Copping,who stripped her with friends between the tides over the next few days,all that was then left was the boats hull and deck structure,she was then sold on and later removed with some difficulty by a team of proffesional riggers Tandem Rigging,they camped for the best part of a week to work between the tides,eventually they had the hulk close enough to the mainland to lift her clear with a large crane.
The front cover and the rescue is the main topic,the orginal painting hangs behind the NSRI refreshments bar at station 8,Hout Bay.
This story is largely unknown,excepting by the local community,plus the men and families involved,its worth a reminder that we are lucky,seriously lucky to have a sea rescue service in place in South Africa,the local station in Hout Bay,is named Station 8,here is one of their stories:
A wild northwester was sending mountainous swells crashing shorewards off the southwestern Cape coast on 15 May 1986. The yacht Gulliver, en route from Knysna to Cape Town for a round-the-world trip, was making heavy weather as she headed towards Slangkop light near Kommetjie. With four persons aboard, Gulliver was heading for the sanctuary of Hout Bay when she was caught by a massive breaking wave some two nautical miles off shore.
The wave pitched and rolled the yacht, hurling the skipper overboard. Fortunately he was wearing a harness.The lighthouse keeper had picked up a distress call from the yacht and the Port Captain sent out an urgent call to the duty crew of Station 8.
Within 10 minutes, Coxwain Peter Braham and his crew were launching the eight-metre rescue boat, Spirit of Mobil, and heading for the stricken vessel.With Station Commander Ken Brady assisting from a mobile vehicle ashore, the lighthouse keeper was asked to illuminate the area where the boat had gone over by keeping the Slangkop light trained on the vessel.
Spirit of Mobil could not approach the casualty directly because of rocks between them and the yacht, so they instructed the crew to get into their liferaft and bear away from the yacht. The rescue boat came in between the breaking swells and pulled the crew aboard.
While Spirit of Mobil was heading out to sea with the casualties aboard, a massive wave broke over her. Some of the crew were knocked back against the transom. The coxwain fractured two ribs and his deputy a severe cut on the head.But the crew of Gulliver were safe and Spirit of Mobil entered Hout Bay Harbour with all lives intact.
Later the coxwain and crew were awarded the NSRI Director's Letter of Thanks for their bravery.

Bridging Kenya's Digital Gender Divide
Posted by: admin on Wed, 2010-09-22 15:55A focus on training girls and women in how to use information and communication technology is breaking the bonds of sexism in Kenya. ICT skills give women more economic power as they can enter new industries or be more efficient entrepreneurs.
While the digital divide affects all Kenyans, women in Kenya face additional challenges to acquiring information and communication technology skills. For 10 years, the African Centre for Women Information and Communication Technology has worked to close the gap in ICT access for Kenyan women. Now, they're planning to expand their successful training programs to reach thousands more Kenyan women. Over the next 3 years, the Centre seeks to establish 240 community information centers countrywide and train 18,000 women.
The Centre's executive director, Constantine Obuya, says they approach ICT training as a means to multiple ends. The training may open the door for women to jobs in the ICT industry, but it may also help them improve their financial status by integrating technology into their daily economic activities. As Kenya moves into the digital age, the Centre believes it is important to ensure illiterate women have ICT skills as well as to increase the numbers of young girls and women pursuing careers in the IT field.
"We do recognize that many women in rural areas are not literate, however, by imparting them with ICT skills they are able to incorporate it in their entrepreneurship ventures by say, keeping books of accounts, accessing market information and resources like branding, designing and printing promotional material," said Obuya.
Giving Women Economic Alternatives
Through its "Reaching the Un-Reached" program, the Centre has trained nearly 3,000 women in ICT. The program equips women with ICT and entrepreneurship skills focusing on five areas of national priority: agriculture, livestock, trade, fishing and tourism. Currently, the Centre operates six community information centers in partnership with community-based organizations located in Mbita, Kisumu, Budalangi, Busia, Isiolo and Eldoret.
"We target women because we have realize that even with coming of the fiber-optic cables and growing of lucrative sectors like the BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) industry which can create thousands of jobs , women stand to lose out on these opportunities," said Obuya. On top of limited literacy, language barriers, and the high cost of ICT training, women have to deal with many forms of gender discrimination that prevent or discourage them from gaining access to new technologies.
One region where the training has had significant impact, according to Obuya, is in Budalangi, Mbita and other islands around Lake Victoria. In these areas, fishing is the primary economic activity and is dominated by men. Women make a living by selling the fish caught by the men; however, they are frequently exploited sexually in the process. The fishermen exercise a de facto "No sex, no fish" policy in which they demand sex in exchange for selling fish to fishmongers. The fishermen refuse to sell fish to women fishmongers who do not have sex with them.
The Centre's ICT training has given these women options to earn money besides selling fish. With their new skills, more women have been able to get clerical jobs in local government offices and within nongovernmental organizations. They've also found employment in ICT-related businesses like selling airtime cards and running cybercafés.
Growing IT-Savvy Girls
To prepare girls for an increasingly computerized world, the Centre operates programs to train female high-school and university students. Through its "all girls camp," high-school girls receive training in Web design. The Centre has partnered with the International Youth Foundation to deliver training to girls and women from six informal settlements in Nairobi: Kibera, Kawangware, Mathare, Mukuru, Korogocho and Kangemi. In addition to ICT training, they offer instruction in entrepreneurship and life skills that will make the students more employable.
"We have seen some of the participants either get employment after school or go to higher learning institutions to pursue more skills," said Obuya.
By June 2009, the project had trained more than 1,000 young women with a placement rate of 51 percent in jobs, internships and businesses, according to an external evaluation study that was conducted in February 2010. Another 25 percent had continued with their studies or participated in another training program.
Following the success of these and other programs, the Centre is branching out and starting programs for women in Somalia, Uganda, Sudan and Tanzania.

ACC Power RankingsThe ACCs upper echelon gained more separation from the rest of the league this past weekend even though two of the leagues top three teams didnt play.
Florida State and North Carolina further solidified their spots in the ACC Power Rankings despite having open dates, but three of the teams ranked Nos. 4-8 lost in ugly fashion, thus the increased divide. Here are this weeks ACC Power Rankings:
1. Florida State (8-1, 5-1)
The Seminoles didnt play but held on to the top spot because they have earned it from day one. The open date came at a good time so they can work on playing without tailback Chris Thompson, who went down with a season-ending injury prior to the last game.
2. Clemson (8-1, 5-1)
Tajh Boyd continued to impress by becoming Clemsons all-time leader in touchdown passes after tossing five all in the first half in a 56-20 demolition of Duke in Durham, N.C. Boyd also ran for 72 yards and a score, and the Tigers defense did a nice job against a Blue Devils offense that was averaging nearly 43 points at home.
3. North Carolina (6-3, 3-2)
Larry Fedoras Tar Heels didnt play, but nobody else in the conference did anything to come close to threatening UNCs No. 3 spot in the Power Rankings. Because of NCAA probation, the Heels cant formally win the Coastal Division, but they can still finish first by closing with three more victories.
4. Miami (5-4, 4-2)
The Hurricanes played their best game of the season by taking out Virginia Tech 30-12 last Thursday night and putting themselves in the drivers seat to win the Coastal Division. To seal the deal, Miami must win two ACC road games, which wont be easy for a young team.
5. N.C. State (5-4, 2-3)
How much has the ACC struggled this season? N.C. State has dropped two straight contests, including this past weekends 33-6 home embarrassment to a Virginia team that entered with a six-game losing skid. Yet, the Wolfpack remains here by virtue of its earlier win over Florida State and because its still hard to believe the staff has done such a poor job with a team that is much better on paper than it has performed.
6. Virginia Tech (4-5, 2-3)
Even more by default, the Hokies come up sixth despite having a losing record and being blown out in their last three road games. But they defeated Duke (badly) and Georgia Tech, and the others dont belong above Frank Beamers crew. Virginia Tech must win out and have Miami lose to both Virginia and Duke for the Hokies to reach the ACC title game.
7. Georgia Tech (4-5, 3-3)
BYU and Middle Tennessee State may chuckle at this, but Georgia Tech is coming off a road rout of Maryland (33-13) and has a few other wins that clearly place them in this spot. Paul Johnsons team remains a dangerous club, especially if its defense can turn in a solid performance.
8. Duke (6-4, 3-3)
While the Blue Devils remain an excellent story by being bowl eligible and still having a chance at winning the Coastal Division, they are slipping. All four of their losses have been blowouts, including the last two weeks. Saturdays 56-20 home ugliness to Clemson came a week after falling at Florida State, 48-7.
9. Wake Forest (5-4, 3-4)
The Demon Deacons are a much better club when wide receiver Michael Campanaro is healthy, as evidenced by his 16-catch performance in Saturdays 28-14 win over Boston College. The Demon Deacons may be better than a couple of the teams ranked ahead of them and can prove that against a very difficult schedule closing the season.
10. Virginia (3-6, 1-4)
The Cavaliers jumped from the bottom spot after ending a six-game losing streak by waxing N.C. State 33-6 in Raleigh. The Wahoos got away with juggling quarterbacks (stick with Sims!), and took advantage of a Wolfpack team that just wasnt into the game. Kudos to Virginia coach Mike London for keeping his squad together.
11. Boston College (2-7, 1-5)
The Eagles retain the No. 11 spot because of Marylands quarterback situation, otherwise they would have dropped to the bottom position. The 28-14 loss at Wake was more of the same for a team that just doesnt have many workable parts. Notre Dame visits this weekend.
12. Maryland (4-5, 2-3)
With respect to Shawn Petty, the quarterback situation is what drags the Terrapins to the bottom spot. Petty, a linebacker forced to play under center because the rest of the programs quarterbacks are out for the season, gave great effort in Saturdays 33-13 loss to Georgia Tech. But hes not a college QB, and without one, the Terps wont win again.

A federal judge continued to block a Mississippi law that could close the state's last abortion clinic, while he considers more evidence.
The New York Times: Judge Maintains Injunction Against Mississippi Law On Abortion ClinicsLawyers debated before a federal judge on Wednesday whether a new law governing abortion clinics in Mississippi should remain blocked or go into effect and thus set in motion a process that could lead to the closing of the state's lone abortion clinic (Robertson, 7/11).
The Associated Press: Judge Continues To Block Mississippi Abortion LawA federal judge on Wednesday continued to block a state law that threatens to shut down Mississippi's only abortion clinic and make it nearly impossible for women to get the procedure in the state. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III temporarily blocked the law July 1 and extended that order Wednesday, though he did not say when he would rule on the clinic's request for a preliminary injunction that would put the law on hold for a longer period. If he grants that request, the case eventually would go to trial (Pettus, 7/12).
Bloomberg: 'Abortion Queen' in Last-Ditch Battle to Save Mississippi ClinicDiane Derzis carries a Taser, a Smith and Wesson and a nickname: "abortion queen." "It doesn't in any way injure my self-confidence," said Derzis, who owns Mississippi's last abortion clinic and three others in the U.S. South. "I kind of like being the queen."… Derzis, 58, and her lawyers are trying to prevent the state from becoming the first with no abortion clinic, and argued in U.S. District Court yesterday that the requirement is unconstitutional because it will effectively ban the procedure (Deprez, 7/12).
Reuters: Judge Extends Halt To New Mississippi Abortion LawA federal judge on Wednesday extended a temporary restraining order blocking Mississippi from enforcing a new state law that tightens requirements on abortion clinics, saying he wanted time to review how the law will be applied. The new law, which took effect on July 1, has threatened to close the state's last abortion clinic and make Mississippi the only U.S. state without such a facility (Le Coz, 7/11).

Some Healthy Summit SkepticismPosted on Feb 10, 2010By Ruth Marcus I've been trying, because I'd truly like to see health reform pass, to find something nice to say about President Barack Obama's plans for a summit. Another summit, that is, nearly a year after the first one. Here's the best I could come up with: It can't hurt. Consider it "Chicken Soup for the Legislative Soul." When the president used his Super Bowl Sunday interview with CBS News' Katie Couric to launch this Hail Mary summit pass, he explained that "what I want to do is to look at the Republican ideas that are out there. ... 'How do you guys want to lower costs? How do you guys intend to reform the insurance market so people with pre-existing conditions, for example, can get health care? How do you want to make sure that the 30 million people who don't have health insurance can get it?' ... And if we can go step by step through a series of these issues, and arrive at some agreements, then procedurally, there's no reason why we can't do it a lot faster than the process took last year." Sure, like in the movie "Dave," where the faux president and his accountant buddy order some chow, roll up their sleeves, and straighten out the budget books. Except this time, in half a day at Blair House with the opposition party pulling up a chair. On live television. To take this at face value is to assume that (a) these conversations have not been occurring over the last year, which flies in the face of Democratic assertions that they have accepted numerous Republican ideas, or that (b) Republicans are correct that they've been shut out of the sausage-making, which ignores the endless weeks of negotiations among the Senate Finance Committee "Gang of Six." But the president's proposal was not really meant to be taken at face value. In case the president's ducking of Couric's question about his willingness to "start at square one" wasn't clear enough, the White House came out to emphasize that, no, the president wasn't backing away from the measures that have already passed both houses of Congress. He plans to come to the table with a merged Democratic blueprint as his starting point. Republicans should feel free to chime in, though. Advertisement As a general matter, I'm a summit skeptic. Summit-as-educational-launching-pad is fine—like the one the administration held last March—but the time for this has passed and, in any event, the gabfest/summit requires follow-up to be worth the time. The administration made a big fuss about its fiscal responsibility summit last February, and promptly dropped the ball. Summit-as-Yalta-map-drawing-moment is promising, in theory. But it requires two sides willing to cut a deal and the private space—sorry, C-SPAN—to accomplish it. Think congressional leaders behind closed doors at Andrews Air Force Base. The president's mistake wasn't in failing to live up to his promise to televise health care negotiations, it was making such a cynical promise to begin with. Cynical, not naive, because surely candidate Obama, even as he milked the applause line, didn't really imagine the cameras would be rolling. So a summit aspiring to be more than show would require Obama to deliver his promised break from politics as usual. A cardinal rule of political negotiation is never to give something for nothing. But what if the president were to offer Republicans an inducement—say tort reform? He has pointed to defensive medicine as one contributor to rising health costs. If "that's a real issue," as Obama told doctors last June, why not add it to the existing Democratic plans? I can see them in the White House now, snickering. Would this kind of pre-emptive strike entice Republicans to cooperate? Not en masse, but enough such flexibility might pick off a few. It would show a Democratic Party willing to stand up to its own special interests for the public good, and a Republican Party—assuming it balks—unwilling to compromise. If you're going to serve chicken soup, Mr. President, might as well ladle some meat into the bowl. New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

By hark, February 12, 2010 at 8:58 am Link to this comment The Republicans won't govern, the Democrats can't govern. At least the Republicans are true to their ideology - they believe government is always the problem, never the solution, so obstructionism is the game they play when they are occasionally out of power. They believe they serve the country best by immobilizing government, dismantling it, except, of course, for the war machine. That's what they do, and they are good at it. The Democrats are just plain incompetent.
By bozh, February 10, 2010 at 7:49 am Link to this comment The word "reform" has many cheery connotations and that's why the word was chosen. The change might be slightly worse for some people, ab the same for others, and still better for some others. But in the end, one or two% owing 99-100% congress, wins once again.

By altara, February 10, 2010 at 6:04 am Link to this comment Republicans respond to President Obama to the televised bipartisan meeting to exchange ideas on health care reform. In addition to demanding that Obama scrap the pending health care legislation (after almost a year of work and countless pages) the Republicans demand that the President renounce reconciliation. This strategy harks back to the Bush rules on talks with opposing nations: " give up your positions and we'll talk." |

Welcome to 2013 in America.
Six-year-old Hunter Yelton (seen above) is a first grader in Canon City, Colorado. Last week, he was sitting next to a girl in music class. Even though they're six, they say they're each other's boyfriend and girlfriend - and Hunter gave her a kiss on the hand.
A teacher saw the kiss - reported it, and they suspended Hunter. He's also going to get a mark on his permanent record for sexual harassment.
The school says what he did fits under their definition of sexual harassment - they ban all kissing at school. They say Hunter's also gotten in trouble before for kissing the same girl on the cheek.

No cash flowing to Sauber yet in aftermath of Russian deal
17 July, 2013
The extent of Sauber's high profile Russian rescue deal, and the emergence of future team driver Sergey Sirotkin, caught the world of Formula 1 by surprise.
Russian F1 commentator Alexei Popov is quoted by Basler Zeitung newspaper: "I had to read the [press release] several times before I could believe it."
Some of the sport's sceptics are still not sure. There are reports of links to the KGB, but in truth very little is known about the entities listed in the Sauber release.
The likely debut of a 17-year-old Russian driver next year is also highly unusual.
"First of all I want to wish Sergey [Sirotkin] and his associates good luck," said Oksana Kosachenko, the former manager of ex-Formula 1 driver Vitaly Petrov. "But so far, he is not an F1 driver. This is about certain arrangements which, undoubtedly, will be implemented."
Bild newspaper, however, claims that "not a cent" has yet flowed from Russia to Hinwil. But a team boss who has worked with Sirotkin and his Russian partners before, Andreas Jenzer, told the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper that his dealings were all positive.
"When I first came into contact with his Russian supporters in 2008, I also had a little bit of concern initially. But I've never had a bad experience in all of the years," Jenzer said.
It seems that much will depend on whether Sirotkin makes his race debut next year, based on a series of track tests that could include appearances on Friday mornings in 2013.
But German pundit Christian Danner warned: "Unfortunately he is light years from the levels of a current F1 driver."
Red Bull's Helmut Marko knows more about the pecking order in Sirotkin's current race series, Formula Renault 3.5.
"Sergey is currently in the midfield, and he has struck me as not bad. Better than [2013 Sauber driver Esteban] Gutierrez. But he will have to show what he can do under pressure."
A major hurdle for Sirotkin will be getting his mandatory FIA super license, as Marko insisted: "You can't just get your sponsors to buy it for you!"
Some suspect that the Russian deal was one done out of desperation by the financially strapped Sauber.
A Swiss supplier to the struggling Formula 1 team told Aargauer Zeitung newspaper that his company has not been paid a cent by Sauber since December of last year.
A Swiss media source told us: "Unfortunately, Sauber has to play the game [with the Russians], but it's better than shutting up shop."
Speed Week also thinks the Russian deal is a good one, because it's "only a matter of time before normal sponsorships flow from Russia, with Gazprom in pole position".
Bernie Ecclestone, meanwhile, hailed the Sauber deal, and also Tuesday's news that the backmarker Marussia has inked a long-term engine deal with Ferrari.
"I'm glad that Sauber and Marussia are continuing," the F1 chief executive told Blick newspaper. "But how serious the situation really was with these teams, I don't know."
Ecclestone added that Russian president Vladimir Putin is supportive of the Sauber deal.
"I was with him in Moscow three times," said the 82-year-old. "He is very enthusiastic and helpful, which will benefit the whole of F1." (GMM)

With all of the great products at CTIA this year, it seems like we just keep going back to the HTC Shift. We can't help it, it's just awesome. Vincent knows how much we loved his pictures that he went back for a short video clip. [youtube m_IsK51P1vg] Unfortunately for Vincent, the Shift was kept behind glass, so he didn't get to play with it while he was there. He did get to take some nice pictures and capture this short clip for us. The Shift is HTC's first UMPC, and so far, it looks great. It has a 7-inch display that looks absolutely stunning, a 30GB hard drive, and a 1.2 Ghz VIA CPU. Expect to get your own hands-on review when these come out in Q3 this year.
I was very impressed with the Sprint Upstage, also known as Samsung M620 or F300 when I first saw it at CeBIT. I managed to score a unit of my own to play, and so far it's been a pleasant experience.
Samsung and Sprint have done a great job keeping the Upstage in the price range of $150, considering how featured packed it is. First of all, it's the first of its kind, a doctor Jekyll and Hyde kinda phone – if you will. On one side is a large screen for watching TV or videos. There a pseudo scroll wheel that doesn't scroll in the traditional sense. It lacks any tactile feedback and does not rotate, and it's sensitive to the touch of your finger when you slide your thumb up and down or side ways. So out of the box, don't expect the Upstage to act and feel like your iPod.
Phones have, over the past ten years, been getting more and more attractive. Unfortunately, the leaps and bounds in product design generally haven't been matched in physical toughness; you either treat your handset with pretty much kid-gloves, or take out expensive phone insurance that covers you in case you sit on/drive over/feed to a dog your precious mobile.
There have been a few rugged phones before, and many more pseudo-rugged who used lashings of rubber and "extreme" case stylings to give an impression of hardiness, but they've often been under-spec'd and just plain ugly. Sprint have obviously heard the plaintive cries of the clumsy and the dangerous, and so today they're launching the Vision Phone SCP-7050; not only is it built to military specification 810F (which means it can withstand shock, vibration and dust) but it has onboard GPS and access to the Sprint Vision service of, amongst other things, internet access and email.

Your baby is so precious that you need to keep your baby safe and sound. Many moms even want to hold the baby anywhere they go. Over the shoulder baby holder or baby sling or baby carrier is commonly use so you can hold the baby with you without giving much pressure to your hand. You are still able to do various tasks at home and even shop with the baby on you. Nevertheless, you need to concern with safety of your baby when using over the shoulder baby holder.
In order to make sure the sling fit you and your baby well, you need to pay attention to over the shoulder baby holder sizing. If the baby holder is too tight, it would be dangerous to your baby and you will not feel it comfortable too. If the baby holder is too big, it is also dangerous because your baby could slip and fall from your hold. Therefore, for safety and comfort, you need to make sure you choose the right size. In the market, the most common sizing is S, M, and L. Commonly, mother body weight is the parameter used to choose the right size. You can ask the storekeeper about the suitable size for you.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Passport Gender Can Be Changed Without Surgery: U.S. Officials
Surgery will no longer be needed for transgender Americans to change their stated gender on passports, federal officials said Wednesday.
Previously, a holder's gender on a passport could be changed only if the person had completed sexual reassignment surgeries, according to the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Associated Press reported.
As of Thursday, transgender people applying for a U.S. passport need only show a physician's certification that they have "undergone appropriate clinical treatment for gender transition," the State Department announced.
Appropriate treatment could mean surgery for some and non-surgical care for others, Mara Keisling, director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, told the AP.
Company Drops Chocolate Toddler Drink
A new chocolate-flavored toddler drink has been taken off the market after criticism that the product and others like it, made by Mead Johnson, contribute to childhood obesity.
Nutritionists and parents say the Enfagrow Premium drinks, aimed at children as young as 1 year old, are mostly milk and sugar, and there's no proof to back up the company's health claims about the drinks, ABC News reported.
The company says the drinks contain more than 25 additives that help boost immunity, brain development and growth.
Mead Johnson has dropped the chocolate-flavored Enfagrow Premium, which contains 19 grams of sugar. However, the company still sells the vanilla-flavored version, which has 16 to 17 grams of sugar, and three unflavored versions with 10 to 11 grams of sugar.
The products are targeted at so-called "picky eaters" who might benefit from a nutritional supplement, ABC News reported.
Safer Radiation Therapy Equipment Promised By Companies
Within the next two years, new radiation therapy equipment and software will include fail-safe features to lower the risk of dangerous radiation overdoses and other errors, according to manufacturers.
The new equipment will turn off if the treatment plan has not been checked, if the beam-modifying devices have not been correctly placed, or if the patient is not properly positioned, The New York Times reported.
Currently, these types of safety checks are at the discretion of radiation therapy machine operators, according to David Fisher, executive director of the industry group Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance.
While the changes sounds promising, several medical physicists at a patient-safety conference in New York told The Times that they're waiting to see the specific changes made by manufacturers.
Tyverb Not Cost Effective: U.K. Health Agency
The breast cancer drug Tyverb (lapatinib) isn't cost-effective and should not be used to treat patients with advanced disease, the U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence said Tuesday.
The GlaxoSmithKline drug costs about $2,300 per treatment course in Britain, the Associated Press reported.
The health agency's ruling means that about 2,000 women in the U.K. would no longer get the drug, according to Glaxo, which called the decision "deeply disappointing."
Tyverb, which is used in combination with another drug, is given to advanced breast cancer patients who haven't responded to standard medicines such as Herceptin, the AP reported. There are no other approved treatments for these patients. Tyverb is available in the U.S. and a number of other countries.

Listening to some smelly, hippy chick, piss and and moan about having opened a product, halogen light bulb which somehow was broken and now wanted to return it..Poor kid behind counter had to track down boss to ask how to handle and he said she would have to wait as she paid by check and it needed to clear before they would refund her money or she could have an in store credit.
She did not like that and whined some more, by now there was a bit of a line..
She started ragging on the kid and I told her to knock it off, was not the kids fault and if she wanted to bitch, the owner was over mixing paint for another customer and I was sure he would listen her.
She started to snap at me, noticed I towered over her and had my "your pissing me off look", saw the 5 or 6 other people standing staring at her, snapped her mouth shut, good thing to as flies were congregating, grabbed her stuff and stormed out..
Older dude behind me chuckled and said nice job.
Kid smiled at me as I paid and told him to have a good day..
Rude people piss me off…

"Everyone had wonderful things to say about our son's graduation announcement. I'm having friends call this year to ask where I got them and I"m sending them here."
"Very happy with what I received. Gives graduation announcements a more personal touch than the standard High School issued ones. Will probably be ordering more items since I'm so satisfied with these."
"I was extremely pleased w/ the graduation announcement. I had to have assistance w/ my image & this was provided very quickly. One recipient told me that she loved the announcement/photo so much that she felt that a part of her was being disloyal to her own family. LOL."
"I sent out over 100 of these to add personalization to a graduation announcement rather than sending the impersonal ones I paid the high school for. I really was pleased w/ the quality of the product and everyone that received them commented on how much they enjoyed the pictures. I used pictures of my son that we had taken from his first day of school, pictures of him through the years and a couple of his senior portraits. The ONLY thing I would have liked to do would be to have been able to type on the backside of the card to do invitations to a graduation party, as it was I went to a local office supply store and had them print on a color co-ordinated resume type paper the invitation I worked up on wordpad and then glue sticked them on the back. I definitely will use TinyPrints again in the future."
"This post card was the perfect solution because we just wanted a simple announcement with a nice picture. The bonus was being able to write a more detailed message about our grad. Our picture was off center which worked really well with the monogrammed initial. We received a high quality product for a very good price. We are so pleased with how beautiful the cards turned out and how quickly we received them. We can't wait to send them out to our family and friends."

City Contracts
With the exception of very minor improvements, all public works projects are constructed by private contractors. The City hires these contractors through a competitive bidding process specified by State law and City ordinances. Notices of opportunities to bid on City contracts are published in a local newspaper and mailed to numerous builders exchanges. Sealed bids are opened at a specified time and the contract is awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who meets the requirements of the contract. Minor contracts (as defined by City ordinance) can be awarded by the City Manager, while major contracts must be awarded by the City Council.

Hi, so I finally decided to jump in with both feet. Well maybe with just my big toe. Actually I needed a little push.....thanks Heide.
I just thought I could do one of my favorite things and that is to share my passion. I just love Stampin' Up! What a great ride this is. I get to play with paper, rubber stamps, glitter, glue and just loads of fun stuff and I get to share it with great people. Well, here I go. But wait I just need to ask. . . . . have a little patience with me while I figure this thing out.
Hang on,
"Yes, I know I have glitter on my face!"

Light Scattering from Intact Cells Reports Oxidative-Stress-Induced Mitochondrial Swelling Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 4, 1 April 2005, Pages 2929-2938 Jeremy D. Wilson, Chad E. Bigelow, David J. Calkins and Thomas H. Foster Abstract Angularly resolved light scattering measurements were performed on suspensions of EMT6 cells and on mitochondria isolated from rabbit liver. Mie theory analysis of the scattering from intact cells indicated that mitochondrial-sized organelles dominated scattering in the range 5–90°. This interpretation was supported by the analysis of scattering from isolated mitochondria. Intact cells were subjected to oxidative stress by photodynamic insult. After 3h of incubation in the heme precursor aminolevulinic acid hexylester, EMT6 cells accumulated abundant protoporphyrin IX, an endogenous photosensitizer formed in mitochondria. Irradiation of aminolevulinic acid/protoporphyrin IX-sensitized cells with 10J cm−2 of 514nm light led to pronounced changes in angularly resolved light scattering consistent with mitochondrial swelling. Electron microscopy of similarly treated EMT6 cell monolayers showed significant changes in mitochondrial morphology, which included distension of the outer unit membrane and bloating of the internal mitochondrial compartment. Informed by these electron microscopy results, we implemented a coated sphere model to interpret the scattering from intact cells subjected to oxidative stress. The coated sphere interpretation was compatible with the scattering measurements from these cells, whereas simpler Mie theory models based on homogenous swelling were dramatically unsuccessful. Thus, in this system, angularly resolved light scattering reports oxidative-stress-induced changes in mitochondrial morphology. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (266 kb) |
Calcium-Induced Alterations in Mitochondrial Morphology Quantified in Situ with Optical Scatter Imaging Biophysical Journal, Volume 83, Issue 3, 1 September 2002, Pages 1691-1700 Nada N. Boustany, Rebekah Drezek and Nitish V. Thakor Abstract Optical scatter imaging (OSI), a technique we developed recently, was used to measure the ratio of wide-to-narrow angle scatter (OSIR) within endothelial cells subjected to calcium overload (1.6mM) after permeabilization by ionomycin. Within a few minutes of calcium overload, the mitochondria, which started as elongated organelles, rounded up into spherically shaped particles. This change in morphology was accompanied by a statistically significant 14% increase in OSIR in the cells' cytoplasm. Mitochondrial rounding and OSIR increase were suppressed by cyclosporin A (25μM), implying that the observed geometrical and scattering changes were directly attributable to the mitochondrial permeability transition. The angular scattering properties of a long mitochondrion rounding up were approximated by numerical simulations of light scatter from an ellipsoid rounding up into a sphere. The simulations predicted a relative increase in OSIR comparable to that measured experimentally for the case where the shape transition takes place with little or no volume increase. The simulations also suggested that mitochondrial refractive index changes could not account for the OSIR changes observed. Our data show that changes in OSIR correlate with mitochondrial morphology change in situ. OSI provides a new tool for subcellular imaging and complements other microscopy methods, such as fluorescence. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (521 kb) |
Monitoring DNA/Poly-l-Lysine Polyplex Formation with Time-Resolved Multiangle Laser Light Scattering Biophysical Journal, Volume 80, Issue 2, 1 February 2001, Pages 864-873 Eva Lai and John H. van Zanten Abstract Nonviral DNA complexes show promise as alternative and attractive gene delivery vectors for treating genetic diseases. Nonviral DNA complexes are typically formed by combining DNA with various condensing/complexing agents such as lipids, polyelectrolytes, polymers, polypeptides, and surfactants in solution. DNA/poly-l-lysine polyplex formation kinetics are probed by time-resolved multiangle laser light scattering (TR-MALLS), which yields the time evolution of the supramolecular complex mass and geometric size. Primary polyplexes whose geometric size is smaller than individual DNA molecules in solution are formed very rapidly upon mixing DNA and poly-l-lysine. Over time, these primary polyplexes aggregate into larger structures whose ultimate size is determined primarily by the relative concentrations of DNA and poly-l-lysine. This final polyplex size varies with the DNA/poly-l-lysine mass ratio in a non-monotonic fashion, with the maximum polyplex size occurring at a DNA/poly-l-lysine mass ratio of approximately two to three (charge ratio near unity). The utility of TR-MALLS for monitoring the temporal evolution of DNA loading and supramolecular complex size growth (mean square radius and molar mass) throughout the DNA/poly-l-lysine polyplex formation process is demonstrated. The polyplex DNA loading and size, both geometric and molar mass, are key to understanding the transfection process and for developing optimal gene therapy vectors.

Biophysical Journal, Volume 41, Issue 1, 29-33, 1 January 1983
Research Article
F.A. Bettelheim and E.L. Siew
Theoretical calculations were performed to predict how the light scattering intensity would change with changes in concentration in the gel state. The theory of light scattering was applied to a random distribution of hard spheres. The spherical particles with constant diameter were embedded in a medium having a different refractive index. The light-scattering intensities obtained as a function of concentration showed that in dilute solutions the scattered light intensity increases with concentration. However, in concentrated solution greater than 0.1 or 0.2 volume fraction, the light-scattering intensity decreases with increase in concentration.
