Something I've always regretted in my life was not having seized the opportunity to attend Woodstock back in 1969. You see, I was one of those pseudo-hippies with a job during summer break, thus suggesting I must have been a true capitalist at heart. I did, however, see the documentary "Woodstock," which hugely reinforced that regret. So, needless to say, I've been eagerly anticipating Oscar-winning director Ang Lee's new film, "Taking Woodstock."
But Lee's take on Woodstock went far beyond my expectations. Instead of three days of peace and music, he concentrate on stories behind the scenes as seen through the eyes of its main character, Eliott Tiber (Demetri Martin), rather than on the concert itself. Eliott has returned to his parent's dilapidated motel in order to save them from bankruptcy. Located in White Lake, N.Y., the motel is just a few miles from Max Yasgur's (Eugene Levy) dairy farm — the property destined to become the center of the universe for those three amazing days.
The film chronicles the unlikely sequence of events, which attracted more than 500,000 people (original estimates had been, at most, maybe 1,000) to this sleepy little town. Politics, power struggles and pot all play a major role in what became an unbelievable happening.
Lee, known for his incredible insight into the human psyche ("The Ice Storm" and "Brokeback Mountain") always seems to take the path less traveled. In "Taking Woodstock," once again, he shies away from the obvious and delves into what really counts. Each of his main character's lives is drastically transformed by their involvement with the concert, for the better.
Eliott comes out of the closet and takes charge of his own life instead of his parent's. Mom and Dad (delightfully played by Imelda Staunton and Henry Goodman), seemingly, for the first time in their troubled lives let loose their inhibitions by consuming laced brownies. Billy (Emile Hirsch), Eliott's childhood friend/Vietnam vet who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, suddenly steps back into reality while taking part in the celebration. Vilma (Liev Schreiber, in an Oscar-worthy performance), a cross-dressing ex-Marine, is about the only one whose life doesn't change because he's had his head together for years.
"Taking Woodstock" is a great trip. Insightful and enlightening, it sheds light on some of the other aspects of Woodstock: the long lines, crowds so huge that only a few caught glimpses of the performers and pretty filthy conditions. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to Lee for replacing my long-standing regret with welcome relief.

Janelle Martinez gets a 5 year sentence for false sexual assault claim
The only problem? It has been suspended to time served and 5 years probation. What is unclear in the article, is how much time has already been served. Based on the article, Janelle Martinez was confronted in April of 2010 with the inconsistencies of her story and she admitted to making up the claims, and was charged with 3 counts of filing a false police report. On the 10th of this month, she was sentenced to the 5 years. So if she was charged in April of last year, and sentenced in June of this year, then the maximum time she would have spent in custody would be 1 year and 2 months.
She claimed that 3 men had sexually assaulted her. After those men were interviewed, and evidence was collected for evaluation, it appears that there were some inconsistencies in her story. The evidence didn't match her claim, nor did the information the 3 men supplied.

There's got to be more to this.
Were the men she accused well-connected? Affluent? Did she have a history of notoriety or any other black marks?
I can't believe a sentence like that would just be handed out so soon. - Jun 29, 2011, 1:50:00 AM
She's Latino so Americas "Gender-feminist" courts don't mind giving her time. she's not in the "protected class" of white female.

Has anyone proposed that women who make false sex abuse, rape, or assault claims be added to sex offender registries?

Nicolas Martin - "Has anyone proposed that women who make false sex abuse, rape, or assault claims be added to sex offender registries?"
It's actually been a long-running idea on this forum.
The problem is getting both courts and lawmakers to recognize that FRA's are a sexually based offense. As it stands, in most jurisdictions, the top charge available to law enforcement to charge is a false report to police (a misdemeanor which recognizes only the police as victims), thus, there is no legal (WRT the Criminal Justice System) to have it be recognized as a sexual offense.
What are needed, IMHO, are not only felony level charges (akin to the UK's Perversion of the Course of Justice statute), but also new criminal statues which define a false report of a sexually based offense and being also a sexually based offense (have made an allusion to a sexual act).
When the current standards for judging what can be considered a sexual offense, which can be used to force a person to register as a sexual offender, can include something so simple as public urination (since that would include the possible display of genitalia) or women flashing their breast in public (which is almost always automatically reduced to a non-sexual charge); I don't believe it is really that much of a stretch to argue that since allegations of sexual assaults rely on causing people to imagine a sexual act having been perpetrated, that they too include a significant sexualized component, which could then be used to recognize them as sexually based offenses.

Mark Hendrickson won't be back as Western Illinois University's football coach, ending an era that started in 1999.
When Don Patterson was hired as the Leathernecks' head coach after Randy Ball departed following the 1998 season, he hired Hendrickson as his offensive coordinator, eventually giving him the title of assistant head coach.
Patterson was let go midway through the 2009 season, and Hendrickson was let go on Monday.
Now the Leathernecks move into an uncertain future.
The program has struggled in recent seasons, with the exception of the 2010 season, when Western Illinois went 8-5 and made it to the second round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
But a 5-17 record over the last two seasons, including just two wins in Missouri Valley Football Conference play, sealed Hendrickson's fate. The team has been hit hard by injuries, especially this season, but the way the Leathernecks finished this season — they scored just 17 points over the last five games — sealed Hendrickson's fate.
Hendrickson was a class act, and so was his team. He deserved a better fate, especially after the 2010 season, but it wasn't to be.
Now, Western Illinois athletics director Tim Van Alstine faces another coaching search to revive a program. He has made good coaching moves over the last few years, but this one is just as crucial, and maybe even more crucial than others.
The coming renovation of Hanson Field needs cash, and it's a hard sell to the big-money boosters if the program isn't producing. Yet, at the same time, you can't quick-fix a program if you want long-term success.
This might not be as big of a rebuilding project as it first appears. There's plenty of young talent on both sides of the ball — inexperience also doomed this team this year — so there's a foundation here.
But the program does need a new direction. The uncertainty of the 2008 and 2009 seasons — Hendrickson was interim head coach for the first part of 2008 while Patterson was undergoing treatment for tonsillar cancer, and was again the interim coach following Patterson's ouster — hurt recruiting. And at the FCS level, weak recruiting classes can be especially costly.
The new coach does have a base to tap into — the Leathernecks have been able to find players in Chicago and St. Louis, as well as from other Illinois high schools. There are plenty of metro areas in the Midwest to find players. Still, there also has to be a willingness to accept Division I transfers who can play right away, provided they can be the right fit on and off the field.
It's hard to speculate on names right now who might be interested. Van Alstine could go the experienced-head-coach route, or tap into an assistant at the FBS level who is ready to take over as a head coach. The Valley is one of the top FCS conferences in the nation, and Western Illinois has a track record of success that shows winning on a regular basis can be done here.
There is a new direction coming for Western Illinois football. The choice that will be made over the next few weeks is critical for the long-term future of the program.

Update: Sagittarius 2014 horoscope out now.
I'm having a break from writing monthly horoscopes for a while so I can get the 2014 yearly horoscopes done in the next two or three weeks. Will start monthly horoscopes again in January ~ Jamie.
Use the free horoscope to find which decan to read for your Sagittarius monthly horoscope for November 2013.
Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope Decans
Sagittarius Decan 1 born Nov 22 to Dec 1.
Sagittarius Decan 2 born Dec 2 to 11.
Sagittarius Decan 3 born Dec 12 to 21.
Decan 1 Sagittarius November 2013
After nearly four years, you only have a few more months of the liberating Uranus trine to go. There will be a number of opportunities ahead to make the most of the exciting opportunities that Uranus brings, including at the end of this month. However, the final major influence comes early this month with Uranus Square Pluto on November the first. Many people will struggle with tension and uncertainly from radical change. You however, can make big advances now because of your open-mindedness and adaptability.
Birthday time might initially bring some confusion and lack of direction. The Sun in your decan heralds your solar return, and this year, the major influence comes from Sun square Neptune. This lasts from November 22 to 26, with the lack of clarity or feelings of hopelessness coming from the activation of your Neptune square.
The good news is Sun trine Uranus from November 28 to December 2. This is a much more optimistic energy and also makes up part of your solar return chart. So just like this birthday week, the whole year ahead will involve initial confusion and lack of direction. This will then be replaced by flashes of insight and heightened self awareness, resulting from unexpected events or opportunities, and leading to greater independence and an exciting new direction.
Decan 2 Sagittarius November 2013
The October 4 new moon had a favorable influence for you, making it easier to make progress with your personal and professional goals. For the days leading up to the November 3 solar eclipse, you can consolidate any gains and tie up loose ends. It is not the time for starting new projects, but you can finalize those things already put in motion earlier last month. The November 3 solar eclipse does not make a major aspect to your decan, but for the six months head with this eclipse cycle, conditions will generally be slightly easier than the norm.
From November 1 to 20, you will feel the hot energy of Mars square your decan. This favors activity and action, but the abrasive nature of the square means that you will have to keep a lid on your temper and try harder to fit in with the needs of other people. If you come on too strong or egotistical, then you will face a lot of resistance and only end up feeling frustrated and angry. Mars sextile Saturn from November 5 to 12 is the ideal time to put this aggressive energy into some hard physical work, preferably alone. Mars sextile Jupiter from November 16 to 21 is the best time to channel the raw Mars energy into more adventurous activities, such as the making of babies, or other creative endeavors.
Decan 3 Sagittarius November 2013
The October 18 lunar eclipse should have created a more harmonious environment at home and in your intimate relationships. The comfort and emotional balance will stay with you during this six month eclipse cycle. It will also help you breeze through more challenging aspects, one of which comes later this month.
First up however, the peaceful nature of the lunar eclipse is enhanced by Venus in your decan up to November 5. This is the ultimate transit for love and pleasure. Time to take a break if you can and sit around the pool. Your extra charm and attractiveness holds you in good stead for attracting the ideal mate if you so desire. Existing love relationships should be the source of much satisfaction through increased affection. Financial condition are also favored now, so spending a little extra on yourself or non-essentials will not break the bank.
November 18 to December 12 brings the more abrasive energy of Mars square your decan. Like I mentioned earlier, you should handle this frustrating energy more easily because of the harmonizing effect of the lunar eclipse. Still, this is not the best time to be charging off on brazen activities or taking unnecessary risks. You can still follow your desires, but best results will come from fitting in with the needs of others.

About Big Tree Big Sleep
Founded in 1981, Big Tree has always specialized in solid oak furniture, from filing cabinets to curios. The company started selling futons in 1989, when a vendor asked if Big Tree could make an oak futon frame. All 27 truckloads of the company's oak frames sold like hotcakes.
At that time, futons were still a novelty. Small specialty outfits made either frames or mattresses, but not both. As a furniture company, Big Tree knew there was a better way. The company wanted to make it easy for consumers to buy a quality futon, so it created a complete futon package - futon frame, mattress, and cover. Big Tree was also the first to raise futon frames to sofa height for greater ease and comfort.
Big Tree is at the forefront of new developments in futon frame styles and mattress technology. The company now manufactures futons, futon covers, and more, all in the USA, proudly employing American workers.

GRADY HOWELL knows the exact date when he became a historian.
Go figure.
"It was July 3, 1955. I was eight years old, and it was the first time I'd seen Vicksburg," Howell says.
"Before that day, I was a cowboy.
"But we were driving through Vicksburg in our '48 Chevy, and we saw the cannons and the trench lines [from the Civil War], and something clicked," he says.
Howell, a Biloxi native, spent the rest of his life pursuing and learning from history.

5 Things You Should Know About Preterm Labor
What Is Preterm Labor?
You may be experiencing early or preterm labor if uterine contractions become strong enough to cause dilatation, shortening, and thinning (effacement) of your cervix. Labor is preterm if it begins prior to 37 weeks gestation, (37 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period or LMP).
Unfortunately, waiting for uterine contractions to result in cervical changes wastes valuable treatment time, so chances are your doctor will make a diagnosis of premature labor even when your cervical changes are minor or just beginning. This is a situation when the old adage, "better safe than sorry," really holds true.
Early treatment is more effective than later treatment (after labor has advanced). This is especially true because preterm delivery causes more death and illness for newborns than anything else except birth defects; and spontaneous preterm labor causes a large percentage of preterm deliveries.
The latest statistics on preterm births show that two percent of all deliveries will occur at less than 32 weeks (extreme prematurity); 5.5 percent between 32 and 35 weeks; and 4.2 percent at 36 to 37 weeks.
Who Is at Risk?
The risk of preterm delivery varies considerably. Some women have several times the risk of others. For example, women with a previous preterm delivery have two to three times the usual risk of having a preterm infant in a subsequent pregnancy (see following table). Some risk factors can be controlled (such as alcohol and illicit drug use), but other factors, such as age, multiple gestation, and uterine abnormalities, can't be controlled. All women should watch for the signs of preterm labor and avoid activities that can lead to preterm labor.
Lifestyle can influence your risk of preterm labor. These are some of the few risk factors for preterm labor that you can control:
- cigarette smoking
- alcohol use
- cocaine use
- short interval between subsequent pregnancies
- poor weight gain during pregnancy
Each of these factors can increase the risk of a low birth weight baby and, probably, preterm labor and delivery. The best time to begin preterm labor prevention is before conception, yet, many pregnancies are unplanned, making preconception counseling and preparation difficult.

Summer came in with a bang this year with temperatures soaring close to triple digits in some areas and above triple digits in others. What better way to cool off then making a nice cool cocktail in the comfort of your hopefully air-conditioned home? Here are three easy-breezy recipes that will make you wonder why people complain about the summer heat.
Cucumber Martini
Cucumber is perhaps one of the most refreshing vegetables on the planet so it's no surprise that a cucumber cooler drink has gained a lot of traction in the mixology circle. For years people have been putting cucumber slices into their water, so why not their drinks? This is a great summer drink and will make you feel like you just went to a spa.
- 2 oz of Crop Cucumber Vodka
- 0.5 oz of simple syrup
- 0.25 oz of lime juice
- 0.75 oz of cucumber juice
- 5 mint leaves
- Ice
- Cucumber wheel for garnish
- Jigger
- cocktail shaker
- blender
- cheesecloth
- cucumber
- Martini glass
- Plastic squeeze bottle
How to Make Simple Syrup
Add 1 cup water to 1 cup sugar to a saucepan and heat over high. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved into the water. Let cool. Can be made a day beforehand.
How to Make Cucumber Juice
Roughly slice 3 cucumbers and put them into the blender. Blend on high until it has liquified. Strain through cheesecloth into a plastic squeeze bottle. Can be made a day beforehand. Keep chilled.
- Add together all of the ingredients into the shaker.
- Top with ice.
- Put lid back on shaker and make sure cover is over the strainer portion (if you have one).
- Shake vigorously for 3-5 seconds.
- Strain and pour into the martini glass
- Garnish with cucumber wheel.
Lychee Ginger Martini
Lychee Martinis are making a comeback, but there's no reason to settle for the standard lychee martini, kick it up a notch, as Emeril would say, by adding a little spiciness with the ginger and bit of color with the chambord. It's a delicious and, surprisingly, refreshing drink that will make you wonder why you hadn't been drinking more Lychee Martinis.
- 1.5 oz citrus vodka any kind
- 0.5 oz lime juice
- 0.75 oz lychee juice
- 0.5 oz ginger syrup
- 0.25 oz chambord
- ice
- Lychee garnish
- Jigger
- Shaker
- can of Lychees
- cheesecloth
- plastic squeeze bottle
- Martini glass
How to make ginger syrup
Take a whole piece of ginger (about 2 inches) and cut it up into small chunks. Put into a saucepan with 1 cup of water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to boil on high heat then lower heat to low and simmer for about 2 minutes. Let cool then strain through cheesecloth into the plastic squeeze bottle.
- Add all ingredients into the shaker.
- Top with ice
- Put lid back on shaker and make sure cover is over the strainer portion (if you have one).
- Shake vigorously for about 5 seconds.
- Strain into martini glass
- Garnish with a whole lychee
Spicy Chelada
Not to be confused with the Michelada, which is basically Clamato bloody mary with Corona, the Spicy Chelada still keeps that bite without the heaviness of the Clamato. Perfect for when you have a ton of Coronas in your beer and want to have something a little more exciting for your next party.
- A bottle of Corona
- 1 full lime cut in half, freshly squeezed
- 2-3 dashes of Valentino
- 2 dashes of Worcestshire sauce
- Cayenne Pepper salt
- Ice
- Garnish with a lime wedge
- Pint glass
- Juicer
- Straw
How to Make the Cayenne Pepper Salt
Add equal parts cayenne pepper and salt in a bowl large enough to fit the top of a pint glass.
- Wet the outside rim of the glass with a fresh lime wedge.
- Hold the glass parallel to the table.
- Dab the rim into the cayenne pepper salt while slowly turning the glass so that only the outer edge is covered.
- Squeeze the two halves of the lime into the pint glass.
- Top with ice.
- Add the Valentino and Worcestshire sauce.
- Top with Corona.
- Mix well with the straw and then garnish with a lime wedge.

When you hear about the Marquette Food Co-Op, you might think that they only carry food.
MARQUETTE -- But that's not the case, they actually also carry a variety of organic wellness products, like body care and supplements.
During the month of September, the Marquette Food Co-Op is offering samples of organic essential oils from Simplers Botanical.
There's a lot of therapeutic properties associated with these oils, including some health remedies as well.
Certain oils can provide health benefits for conditions like asthma, muscle tension, and excema.
"A lot of people see the oils as something that's scary because they don't know what to do with them, so I wanted to make it accessible to everyone just so you can use them in a bath, compress, inhalation, there's different ones you can purchase to help just get it in the room, aromatherapy is a great way too," says Denise Townsend, wellness buyer for the Marquette Food Co-Op.
Townsend adds that she wants to continue to bring more awareness to the wellness department, encouraging customers to enhance missing organic elements in their diet and lifestyle.

Your doctor may have told you that your blood sugar levels are still out of your target range. That your diet, exercise, and other diabetes medicines are no longer enough to keep your levels under control. And that it's time to work with you on treatment options to help better manage your blood sugar.
It's not easy to hear. But the fact is, when you have diabetes, your body doesn't make enough insulin and/or your body does not properly use the insulin it makes. That's why your doctor may have also suggested adding insulin to your diabetes treatment plan.
The good news is that you can take your high blood sugar levels on with Lantus®.
Lantus® gives you a steady release of insulin overnight and between meals to help control your blood sugar for a full 24 hours. Lantus® is the only insulin approved exclusively for once-a-day use, which makes the Lantus® in the SoloSTAR® pen an important part of your day.
**Based on TRx data from IMS Health, NPA™ monthly database, time period from May 2003 to November 2011. †Needle not included with pen.
"As a traveler, I find the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen easy to use."
-Charles, taking Lantus® SoloSTAR® since 2003
Depending on how your prescription is filled, you can receive up to 500 more units of insulin with the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen as compared to the Lantus® vial for the same copay—on most insurance plans.
Prescription Lantus® is a long-acting insulin used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes and adults and children (6 years and older) with type 1 diabetes for the control of high blood sugar. It should be taken once a day at the same time each day to lower blood glucose.
Do not use Lantus® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.
Do not take Lantus® if you are allergic to insulin or any of the inactive ingredients in Lantus®.

What you can expect from Lantus®
You must test your blood sugar levels while using insulin, such as Lantus®. Do not make any changes to your dose or type of insulin without talking to your healthcare provider. Any change of insulin should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision.
Do NOT dilute or mix Lantus® with any other insulin or solution. It will not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. Lantus® must only be used if the solution is clear and colorless with no particles visible. Do not share needles, insulin pens or syringes with others.
The most common side effect of insulin, including Lantus®, is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which may be serious. Some people may experience symptoms such as shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. Severe hypoglycemia may be serious and life-threatening. It may cause harm to your heart or brain. Other possible side effects may include injection site reactions, including changes in fat tissue at the injection site, and allergic reactions, including itching and rash. In rare cases, some allergic reactions may be life-threatening.
Tell your doctor about other medicines and supplements you are taking because they can change the way insulin works. Before starting Lantus®, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including if you have liver or kidney problems, are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed.
Lantus® SoloSTAR® is a disposable prefilled insulin pen. Please talk to your healthcare provider about proper injection technique and follow instructions in the Instruction Leaflet that accompanies the pen.

text: 17 September 2007 archive Tweet See all show photos DO I want to wear snakeskin-printed chiffon rara ruffles from my neck to my knees, where each ruffle is detached periodically at the seam to reveal a glimpse of nipple? That was one question we were forced to ask after the Christopher Kane show yesterday. While his first and second collections were deemed a triumph at the very least, this time the pressure was on to reinvent himself again - not least because 23 pieces of his collection were swiped from his showroom with less than a week to go. And if the reaction to it wasn't as sparkling with euphoria as Kane may be used to by now (despite his famously modest, un-diva-esque personality), the chiffon ruffle dresses in snakeskin, nude and black, leather rara skirts and zip-up chiffon blouses were more quietly accepted as a clever, and welcome, step forward. "I really liked it," said Browns buying director, Yasmin Sewell. "I really wanted him to be able to open out that silhouette at last and he did it in a really strong way." Browns founder Mrs B agreed that it was a success - though Bros-reminiscent shredded jeans and frayed denim bra tops may not be first on her list. "There was definitely enough for us to buy," she said. "I really enjoyed the show - it was my highlight today." Don't expect the denim to be left hanging, though - Vogue's Emma Elwick is keen. "It's like Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer - but elegant," she said. "I loved it." Another clever move by Kane was his decision to add Swarovski-clad cashmere vests to the mix - a little commercial action goes a long way when you're three seasons in - and, while his various inspirations, including Stephen King horror, Miss Hannigan, Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin, could have caused some confusion along the way, his chiffon bomber jackets are already breeding impressive waiting lists - they were the main topic of conversation at last night's parties.

Missing most of last season was rough for Raven Merriweather, who played in only 10 games before being sidelined with a torn ACL. But now that she's recovered, basketball is fun again for her and the sky's the limit for the Sacred Heart senior.
Playing in her second game back, Merriweather filled the stat sheet with 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists to lead the host Valkyries to a 61-46 victory over Lexington Catholic on Tuesday night.
"It's so good to have her back, seeing her smiling and having fun," Sacred Heart head coach Donna Moir said. "Nobody wants to go through what she had to go through. There were a lot of highs and lows, a lot of lows. Just to see her out there having fun, doing something she loves to do, is fun for me as a coac

Camel Enrichment
1 April 2005
As far as enrichment goes, our camels are the easiest of the exotic/feral species at the Zoo to provide for. Both camels go for walks every day, the length and location of which varies from day to day. We use browse feeders and lines so that their food is not necessarily on a stable surface, making them have to think and work a little bit to be able to fully strip the bark off it. Between these two forms of enrichment, the camels are pretty much covered. Guests can also purchase camel food from the Dingo Diner to feed the girls, which also provides some staggered food treats. But as our animals are all spoilt rotten, we do occasionally provide other enrichment.Now many of you may have seen Dajarra (more commonly known as DJ) on Steve's show playing with a ball. We get quite a few people asking us about that. DJ has actually outgrown playing with her ball now, when we put it in she just smells it and walks away. While this may seem disappointing to people who wanted to see her play with it, it is actually good news for her keepers -� it means she is growing up and maturing, making her easier to work around. Another thing we add is a drum with molasses spread on it - YUMMY...but messy! So you just never know what you may see our animals getting up to when it comes to enrichment!

The White Iris
the ancient Grecian skies. Gliding with her
embossed satiny milken sides.
Her lithe and nimble limbs moved methodically...
From her cream white petals to her supple stem. The nectar that she carried was transposed into a hymn.
"I must use my moments wisely, for they shall soon pass away... And be lost to me forever... A mere memory of my yesterdays...
"Thus she sung
And thus she cried.
Her voice set to harp
And lyre. So true a call
So true a heart did Zeus himself see...
"Come now unto
Mt Olympus
Oh white Iris,
And our announcer be"...
She floated along
In such a curving grace...
Transposed she was
In time and space...
The blessed arched path
Which she did go,
Became the journey for
All our eternal rainbows.

The earliest epidemics of smallpox have been reported from the banks of the Nile, from where it spread to the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Since then, smallpox has devastated populations until its eradication in 1977. Surprisingly, despite the havoc it caused, very little was recorded in medical literature and it is absent in medical papyri [2]. The plague of Athens of 430 BCE is said to have been due to smallpox but Greek medical texts do not discuss it as a disease, thus Galen made only passing mention to smallpox, nor was it discussed by the Chinese. Three Indian medical texts contain only minimal and identical descriptions of a condition Masurica (when pustules like brown lentils appear), translated as Variola, that is smallpox [3]. Similar interpretations are made by better informed historians [4]. Some are of the view that Masurika was not smallpox but chickenpox and that early Indian medical texts did not describe smallpox as it was not prevalent in India till 12th century CE. However, this is unacceptable for everywhere else smallpox and chickenpox existed side by side; moreover, trade links existed via the Silk Road and sea routes with India and Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, the Roman Empire and China where smallpox was endemic. With huge movements of human and animals taking place for thousands of years, it is against logic that India remained free of this highly contagious disease.
Figure 2: Front cover of Channing's modern edition of Al-Razi's treatise in Arabic and Latin Maqāla fī al-jadarī wa al-hasbah (Liber de variolis et morbilis): an eighteenth century Arabic manuscript of Rhazes' treatise on smallpox and measles, with a Latin translation by Salomon Negri, a Melkite priest from Damascus (London, 1766). Glasgow University Library, Special Collections Department, MS Hunter 133. (Source).
Smallpox was first documented in a Syriac medical text by Ahrun of Alexandria in 622 CE, but Rhazes wrote the first comprehensive text, its translations remaining in print till the middle of the 19th century. The Arabic title of the book is Kitab fi al-Jadari wa-'l-Hasaba, translated into Latin as Variolis et Morbillis and into English as A Treatise on Smallpox and Measles. In his introduction Rhazes stated when meeting other medical men, a discussion on smallpox took place and, after he had explained his views, he was asked to write a full description. He noted that Galen only mentioned smallpox briefly and referred to the Arabic translator of the Syriac of Ahrun of Alexandria without mentioning the book itself. In one chapter, he differentiated smallpox from measles and also observed that survivors of smallpox never suffer again.
Figure 3: On-line publication of al-Razi's Kitab fi 'l-jadari on the website of the American University of Beirut, Lebanon (p. 1). The book was edited in Arabic: Kitab fi al-jadari wa al-hasaba li-Abi Bakr Muhammad Zakariya al-Razi. Printed at the expense of the Syrian Evangelical College of the city of Beirut, 1872. (Source).
Although the book was translated into numerous languages and copies of these are found in collections and libraries, there are only two original Arabic manuscripts. One is in the Leiden University Library (Fig. 1) and the other in the National Library in Venice, both being donated nearly 400 years ago [5]. That in Leiden has been used by translators and researchers but the other in Venice has not seen the light of day for centuries. Rhazes's book remained in great demand until about the middle of the 19th century, being the only book available on smallpox. It was first translated into Greek and subsequently nearly 40 times into almost every European language. It was first translated into English from a Greek text by Mead in 1747 and published in London, followed by two more translations in 1756 and 1762 with reprints in Edinburgh. London and Dublin. A popular translation by the famous London Apothecary John Channing (died 1780) was published in 1766. This was a Latin translation with the Arabic on opposite pages (fig. 3-4). The last English translation by Greenhill in 1848 is said to be the best; because it was translated direct from the rare original Arabic manuscript borrowed from the Leiden University Library [6]; it was last reprinted in 1875. An Arabic version was published in 1872 in Beirut.

Some medical historians of the last century mistakenly recorded that Caesarean section was strictly forbidden amongst Muslims. This opinion has been repeatedly quoted without examining its authenticity or validity. Research into available ancient Arabic sources can lead to evidence contrary to such a view. The Islamic scholars of the Middle ages were, in fact, the first to not only write about this operation but to illustrate it in pictures and describe it in poetry. Considering the antiquity of their time, it is unfair to compare them with scholars of a later date; but their achievements must be valued.

My Profile
Tono Rosario
Puerto Rican rapper Vico C experienced wavering popular success throughout the '90s in the United States while remaining consistently popular in Latin America. Born Luis Armando Lozada on September 8, 1971, in Brooklyn, NY, Vico grew up surrounded by the rough streets of New York, where crime, violence, and drugs are often a part of life. He took an early interest in hip-hop when it first blossomed in the early '80s with such artists as Run-D.M.C. and, in turn, took the stage name Vico C in a bid to become a rapper himself. In addition to his rapping ambitions, Vico also developed his production skills and launched his professional career at the end of the '80s. He produced hits for such Latin artists as Lisa M. ("El Pum Pum") and Francheska ("Menéalo") and began collaborating with Jossie Esteban on songs of his own in the early '90s. In particular, "La Recta Final" became a big hit for Vico, whose early-'90s work blended rap with merengue. Following a few early-'90s releases and much success in Puerto Rico as well as throughout Latin America, Vico suffered a life-threatening automobile accident that sidelined him for a substantial amount of time. He returned in 1998 with Aquel Que Había Muerto, an album that found him renouncing his past vices and proclaiming a renewed faith in God, and his level of success grew enormously. Several best-of albums flooded the market around this time in the late '90s and Vico spent successive years furthering his success as well as basking in it such as on the live album Vivo (2001). ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Pres. Obama, Mitt Romney open the homestretch to the November elections
SEMINOLE, Fla. — President Barack Obama on Saturday pronounced Republicans "dead wrong" for calling America a country in decline, offering a rebuttal to the "naysayers" who drew attention to the nation's staggering debt and anemic job growth. Republican rival Mitt Romney said there's nothing wrong that a new president can't fix.
Both clawed for advantage in a post-convention push through some of the most closely contested states, Obama on a Florida bus tour, Romney rallying in Virginia, opening the homestretch to the election in less than two months.
Obama told a spirited rally that America's "basic bargain" is at stake in the election, the promise that "if you work hard it will pay off." He pledged to make education more affordable, reduce dependence on foreign oil and slash deficits "without sticking it to the middle class" if he gets another term.
He reached for some Ronald Reagan-like optimism in hard times, telling his audience that much about America is essentially right.
"When our opponents say this nation is in decline they are dead wrong," he said. "This is America. We still have the best workers in the world and the best entrepreneurs in the world. We've got the best scientists and the best researchers. We've got the best colleges and the best universities."
He went on: "We are a young nation with the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity from every corner of the globe so no matter what the naysayers may say for political reasons, no matter how dark they try to make everything look, there's not a country on Earth that wouldn't gladly trade places with the United States of America."
Days earlier, GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan noted that the national debt was reported to have passed $16 trillion on the first day of the Democratic convention. "That's a country in decline," Ryan said. Unemployment remains stubbornly high, clocking in at 8.1 percent on Friday and keeping joblessness and economic weakness on the boil as top campaign issues.
Romney drew cheers in a Navy town when he pledged to strengthen the armed forces and roll back future defense cuts that he blamed on Obama but were negotiated between the president and congressional Republican leaders.
"We must have a military second to none," he told the Virginia Beach rally. "I will maintain our military commitment." He also plans to expand the naval fleet.
Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, Romney went through it phrase by phrase to suggest Obama has fallen short of its promise in a nation with painfully high unemployment, millions more on food stamps, and one in six people in poverty. "How can a nation so prosperous stand by with such a national tragedy?" he asked. "That is not 'justice for all.'"
His answer: "We're going to have to get a new president."
Obama opened a two-day bus tour in Florida, campaigning in a state with the highest elderly population and an unemployment rate of 8.8 percent, higher than the national average.
As both candidates enter the sprint to the election, Romney is casting Obama as an inept steward of the nation's post-recession recovery. It's a portrayal Obama has been fighting for months as the unemployment rate sticks stubbornly above 8 percent.
On Friday, the government reported that employers added just 96,000 jobs in August and that, aided by frustrated job hunters giving up, the jobless rate dropped only marginally from 8.3 percent the month before.
Obama is countering by presenting himself as a champion of the middle class and by repeatedly decrying Romney's economic remedies as failed throwbacks that would further endanger the economy.

The Financial Services Authority has expressed its concern about the rise in phishing scams to a Lords Parliamentary sub-committee, claiming that such incidences are on the rise.
A spokesman from FSA's Crime Team told the Lords that such attacks have risen by a staggering 8,000% over the past two years.
Of course this statistic merely reflects a rise in 'reported' incidents, which does necessarily paint a precise picture of what's going on.
