2012 Carro Tinto
"The 2012 Carro Tinto is terrific bargain in high-quality red wine from Spain, no doubt because it comes from the relatively remote and under-the-radar appellation of Yecla. A blend of 50% Monastrell (Mourvedre), 30% Syrah, 12% Merlot and 8% Tempranillo, it possesses spice and earthy, new saddle leather notes intermixed with notions of cherry jam, truffles and loamy soil. Ripe, full-bodied, rich and generously endowed with no hard edges, Mourvedre grown in Yecla can range from surprisingly rich and fleshy (as is this wine), to rustic and almost undrinkably astringent." -Robert Parker

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2010 WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) yesterday sent the following letter to President Obama regarding his upcoming meeting with King Abdullah.
The President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), I am writing to you regarding your meeting with the King of Saudi Arabia when he visits Washington, DC at the end of this month. In May, Saudi Arabia's top religious leadership, the Council of Senior Ulema, issued a fatwa condemning the financing of terrorism as a criminal act in the country. This was a very important and most welcome development, and the Saudis should be commended. For the objective of this religious edict to be realized, however, it will be necessary for the Saudi government to implement effective strategies for preventing people from embracing violent extremism in the first place. They will need to focus on reforms that ensure that intolerance has no place in their culture. Despite the Saudi government pledging to the United States nearly four years ago that it would undertake such reforms, very little progress has been made. In this regard, we appeal to you to raise three important issues: revising the Saudi government-controlled curriculum and textbooks; reining in the government-funded Commission to Promote Virtue and Prevent Vice (CPVPV), or religious police; and releasing Hadi Al-Mutif, the longest serving religious prisoner in Saudi Arabia. In July 2006, the Saudi government confirmed to the State Department that it would revise textbooks, within one to two years, to remove intolerant references that disparage Muslims or non-Muslims or promote hatred toward other religions or religious groups. This promise remains unfulfilled. The Saudi government's ideology of extreme religious intolerance, including violence, is propounded in Saudi textbooks and other educational materials. Saudi Arabia makes these publications available on the internet and through their distribution internationally. USCIRF found earlier this year that textbooks posted on the Saudi Ministry of Education's website continue to teach hatred toward other religions and, in some cases, promote violence. In addition, the most recent State Department reports on human rights and religious freedom confirm that inflammatory content remains in the textbooks. Regarding the role of religious police, in July 2006, the Saudi government confirmed to the State Department that members of the CPVPV would not detain or conduct investigations of suspects, implement punishment, violate the sanctity of private homes, conduct surveillance, or confiscate private religious materials. Nearly four years later, members of the CPVPV regularly overstep their authority with impunity and are not subject to judicial review. Despite the fact that the CPVPV is not permitted to engage in surveillance, detain individuals for more than 24 hours, arrest individuals without police accompaniment, or carry out any kind of punishment, its members have been accused in recent years of killing, beating, whipping, detaining, and otherwise harassing individuals. Saudi government officials claim to have dismissed and/or disciplined members of the CPVPV for abuses of power, although reports of abuse persist and no details have been provided demonstrating that CPVPV members are, in fact, held accountable. The case of Mr. Al-Mutif, an Ismaili Muslim from southwestern Saudi Arabia, also warrants attention. He has been in prison for more than 16 years for an offhand remark he made as a teenager in 1993 that was deemed blasphemous by a Saudi court. In 1996 he was convicted and originally sentenced to death for apostasy, despite the fact that he remains a Muslim. Lawyers and experts familiar with the case have said that the judge was biased against Ismaili Muslims and that Mr. Al-Mutif's trial was neither fair nor transparent. Mr. Al-Mutif has alleged physical abuse and mistreatment during his 16 years of incarceration. USCIRF repeatedly has raised this case and was told by Saudi government authorities that there would be a resolution. More than three years after such assurances, Mr. Al-Mutif remains in prison, much of the time in solitary confinement, where he reportedly has attempted to commit suicide because of the dire situation. Mr. President, USCIRF recommends that you urge King Abdullah to immediately and unconditionally release Hadi Al-Mutif on humanitarian grounds. We are most grateful for your considering our request that these important issues be raised in your discussions with King Abdullah.

text: I've used these pants kayaking in Gates of the Arctic, backpacking in Wrangell St. Elias and the Alaska Range and cross country skiing around Fairbanks and they are wonderful. I call them my super pants. The range of sizes really helped getting a good fit. Only 1 complain: the belt is worthless and rolls inside the pants all the time which is uncomfortable. Since the belt is sewn in, I can't just take it out. I would suggest just belt loops for future models.

Common Types of Home Foundation Repair
The base may be defined as a fulcrum, to radicals of the structure of the entire building. A further requirement is that the buildings can be secured only if the foundation is strong and heavy.
Incomplete or Incorrect setting of the foundation is the main reason for the company to repair the foundation. You might need foundation repair if visible cracks on exterior walls or foundation walls or ceiling or wall in your home. The Foundation is also not necessary amendments to the inside concrete floors, curved or bent foundations are under water.
Time takes its toll late in many homes and suffered damage to the foundations of different sizes require different corrections. Earthquakes and floods pose a serious hazard and foundation repairs in time can save you a lot of houses, breaking or crumbling to the ground.

It seems reset is not required for setting the max_wm_threads to 80 on gen6 GT2. Increases performance in the Counter-Strike: Source video stress test by 7.18% (n=5).

As the title says really , is it worth it I would want to fit a full cover water block at some point so im after good combo recommendations of card and block pls.
yeesss! less heat, less power usage and 3gb of vram compared to 1 per card, no more cross fire microstuttering (if you can see it that is) and more oc headroom.
I have dual 5850's and if you can't play all your games like you want, then sure, upgrade but if your doing okay as it is, just wait.
I was doing ok untill farcry 3 and I prefer ultra I think crisis 3 might be the second game to overpower my gfxs due to vram but can one 7950 cut it and due to the variety of cards and water blocks id like some suggestions as atm im thinking xfx dd 7950 but what water block? Fits it?
I got one and can get a stable oc 1100/1575 1200v temps same as when stock. my cpu/board lets me down in farcry3/crisis 3 but it still handles max serttings 50+ fps
after I seen a xfx melt on different site, I wouldn't myself http://www.overclock.net/t/1196856/official-amd-radeon-hd-7950-7970-7990-owners-thread/21460
What the. You have one though? Is the board reference then? . That looks a bit more then melted damn, id say something definitely was broken on that one and it looked a bit blown up too odd hmmm 5 games though its a harder choice now
I have an asus apparently the vapour chamber on xfx or something was faulty?! I love my card for what its worth its decent and yea the five games
well if ya apply at the same time to different bundles on separate pc's on amd and yea.. im just waiting for bioshock codes and release or something! tbh im not sure if its a reference pcb, its got asus written all over it and looks different to others, even has vrm temp displays, voltages etc on hwinfo. someone else may know or google it
When you ad a water block, I don't see the cost justifiable. I like pretty cases, clean interiors and water blocks sitting everywhere but the blocks are half the cost of the cards which then deems the $300 video card $450. You could get 3 x 7950's for that price.... Im sure my opinion of watercooling the GPU won't effect the decision but if it was me, I would skip the water blocks and just get dual 7950s
Its expensive I agree but oncw you add higher clocks in they last longer too, my two 5xxx have never been beyond sixty degrees and still work fine despite folding at 1ghz for two years and when they retire main rig duties will fold in a hpc hopefully prior to the Cc starting cash permitting. All im saying is different strokes have you tried sitting in the same room as a pc when s flat out 24/7 water cooled is quiter then I don't sell on and I don't upgrade often
if you want to see if a 7950 is worth it, theres a few kicking about on the crisis 3 thread with their thoughts! I haven't seen mine hit 99% gpu usage in game tho
I honestly think two 5870's will out perform a single 7950, yes there will be less heat and less power but your getting more performance so it makes sense, and this micro stutter stuff? ive run crossfire for years and never seen it. (4870X2's and 7870's) Its up to you i guess but i don't think its worth it unless you go two 7950's
Ill have to see what concessions I have to make to play crysis 3 hmn I should have tried the beta I think 5 series are pretty stable I see no micro stuttering
Power wise your better off though: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_hd_5870_crossfirex_test_review,3.html
that's kind of contradictory... then mentions 700+ for crossfire... and then you need the rest of the system.....plus 100w surplus for oc etc.... anyways depends what youre after and if youre xfire ready or want to update as well as upgrade?!
I've been in the same conundrum... Still think the X2 5780's have another year left. I do like the idea of more vram but... I never play my mp games on ultra anyway... I want the frames.
Yes, I would get a HD7950 & overclock the hell out of it, it will surpass a stock HD7970 with ease. You won't have to worry about VRAM limitations & crossfire support

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Family income is creeping up, but house prices are soaring. The result: home affordability fell in all major U.S. cities, according to an Interest.com study. While typical wage hikes have been in the 3% range, average home prices in the past year are up nearly 16% in 25 metro areas.
"The simple fact is that the very small improvement Americans have seen in their paychecks hasn't kept pace with a jump in home prices and mortgage rates," says Mike Sante, managing editor of Interest.com.
The study reports the average interest rate of a 30-year, fixed-rate home loan is 4.43%, up from 3.70% last year.
"In city after city, rising prices mean the house that a family with an average income can afford has shrunk," Sante says. "In many, home ownership is largely out of reach of median-income households."
The research analyzed median home prices and incomes, average property taxes and insurance costs, as well as consumer debt and mortgage rates from The U.S. Census Bureau, National Association of Realtors, National Association of Insurance Commissioners and Experian. Then calculations were made to determine how much a family earning the median income in each city could afford to spend on a house and how much a family would have to earn to afford that city's median-priced home. An "Affordability Grade" was then assigned to each city, with a "C" indicating that someone making the median income could afford the median-priced home.
Only four cities earned a grade of B or B+ in 2013. No A's were awarded. Atlanta leads the nation in home affordability, though its grade fell from an A to a B+. The city managed to stay at the head of the class even while seeing a nearly 39% jump in the median home price, from $103,200 to $143,300. Even with that increase, the median cost of a home in Atlanta remains significantly below the national average of $203,500.
In addition, the city has a household income of $54,628, about 6% percent higher than the median national income, as well as lower-than-average property taxes and modest insurance costs.
Cities with Lowest Median Home Price
- Detroit $124,000
- St. Louis $136,600
- Pittsburgh $140,000
- Atlanta $143,300
- Tampa $145,700
Other relatively affordable cities in the study were Minneapolis, St. Louis and Detroit, which all scored a B. Minneapolis has a median home price that is slightly below the national average as well as a median annual household income that is above the national average. The city's grade is only diminished by higher-than-average property taxes.
St. Louis has the second-lowest home prices in the top 25 markets and a median household income just slightly above average. Detroit has a surplus of empty or foreclosed homes that has led to the lowest home prices among the top 25 U.S. markets.

The Montanas
The Montanas
One of the more obscure bands that was part of the original '60s British Invasion movement, the Montanas are known primarily for their lone hit, "You've Got to Be Loved." The group originated in Birmingham in 1964 -- Bill Hayward, who'd previously played in other local bands like the Crossfires and the Connoisseurs, was the lead guitarist, Graham Crewe was the original drummer, and Ralph Oakley was the bassist, with John Jones as lead singer. The group had a very theatrical presentation, which included bits of comedy between the songs. The Montanas were managed by Roger Allen, who was able to get them a contract with Pye Records, which brought them under the wing of songwriters Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. At the time, this probably seemed like a good move, and it was, as Hatch and Trent also wrote hits for Petula Clark (Hatch also produced Clark and the Searchers), who was a regular occupant of the top of the pop charts. The group also received a major boost in their musical resources in 1966 when Terry Rowley, the lead guitarist with the Mountain Kings, joined the Montanas. Rowley switched to keyboards in his new berth, but he was also a first-rate arranger and composer, and played a role within the Montanas similar to the one played by Paul Samwell-Smith in the Yardbirds.

The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police.
Det. Edmund Pierce reported the theft of two catalytic converters from two trucks on Kenyon Avenue overnight on Aug. 14. Pierce said he met with one of two brothers who had their trucks vandalized and found a Sawzall blade that was left behind. Pierce reported that the catalytic converters were worth $300 each. No suspect or witnesses.
A Providence woman was charged with being a habitual offender after she was arrested at Kohl's in the Rhode Island Mall on Aug. 22. Security at the store called police about a shoplifting in progress and Officers Stephen Major and Brian Murray waited outside while loss prevention agents in the store reported on the progress of two women who were acting in a suspicious manner in the store. They told police they concealed a number of items in their bag and were leaving the store without paying for the goods. Major said they stopped the woman outside and took them back inside where they recovered $284.99 worth of merchandise from the bag they carried. Angela Braxton, 41, of 160 Broad St. was charged with felony shoplifting after her record revealed three prior shoplifting convictions. She was held as a probation violator. The other woman, identified as Braxton's 23-year-old daughter, was not charged.
A West Warwick woman was charged with shoplifting and later transported to the ACI on Aug. 23 after security at the Ocean State Job Lot store on West Shore Road told police she had just left and ran off through the woods behind the store and was being followed by a Job Lot employee. Officer Manuel Pacheco said he found them at the corner of Long View and Long Street and took the woman into custody. The employee told police the woman walked out of the store with an unpaid for sheet set in a Bed, Bath and Beyond bag that she dropped when she was confronted outside and ran into the woods. The store recovered the bag with the sheet set and a couple of packages of plastic bags worth about $25 in all. Pacheco said he learned that Jerri L. Mountain, 54, of 91 West Warwick Ave. had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in District Court and a second one from Florida.
A Warwick woman was arrested and charged with being a habitual offender on Aug. 20 after security at Kohl's told police she concealed two shirts and a purse in her own pocketbook and walked out of the store without paying for the goods. Marilyn Elizabeth Hyndman, 48, of 5300 Post Rd. was charged with felony shoplifting and held for arraignment.
Another Warwick woman was charged with shoplifting on Aug. 21 after loss prevention agents at the Wal-Mart store on Post Road told police she concealed a number of items in her purse before paying for some items in her car and not paying for the items in her purse before leaving the store. Security told police they found 22 small items in her purse, worth $131.50, that had not been paid for. Victoria Mitchell, 35, of 212 Sandy Ln. was later released with a summons for District Court.
Officer Albert Marano said he was dispatched to the Ocean State Job Lot on West Shore Road around 2:40 p.m. on Aug. 22 for a shoplifting and assault suspect being detained there. Employees at the store told Marano they saw the man take three cans of "Blow Off" computer keyboard cleaner and conceal them in his pants before an employee confronted him outside and he pushed her. A second employee said he saw his co-worker being pushed and ran to assist her. He said he was trying to talk the man into calming down and coming back into the store when the suspect bit him on the finger. He was led back inside to await police. Marano noted that "Blow Off" and similar products were known for being inhaled to get a species of "high." He said Paul F. Mancini III, of 31 Melbourne Rd. in Warwick, admitted he used the duster fumes to get high, among other drugs, and that was why he was stealing it. Marano said he learned that Mancini also had two warrants outstanding for failure to appear in District Court. He was charged for shoplifting and assault and held for arraignment.
Two neighbors on Wolfstone Road told police someone keyed their vehicles while they were parked in their respective driveways overnight on Aug. 12. One said he went out to his car that morning and found his truck had been "keyed" on both sides and the tailgate. His neighbor said his neighbor mentioned his truck was keyed so he went to look at his own vehicle and it also was scratched on the side, back and fender. No suspects or witnesses.
A Coventry man told police he was in Fat Belly's Pub on Lambert Lind Highway around 10 p.m. on Aug. 12 when someone came into the pub and told him the passenger side window on his car was smashed. No witnesses.
A Smithfield man told police he returned to his boat at the Dickerson Brothers Marina on Arnold Neck Road and discovered that a tinted Plexiglas door to his boat's cabin was broken. He said nothing was missing from the boat but it would cost around $500 to replace the door. No suspects.
Officer Gregory Johnson reported he was on West Shore Road around 11:20 p.m. on Aug. 13 when someone outside the Rocky Point Pub flagged him down. The man told him the driver of a blue Hyundai was trying to drive away after hitting the man's car in the parking lot. Johnson said the man they were detaining was swaying back and forth and complaining that the other car was improperly parked and that's why it got hit but Johnson said it was apparent that the driver was under the influence and he gave the man a field sobriety test and the man failed it. He said Robert A. Legasse, 49, of 109 Horseneck Rd. in Warwick was taken to headquarters where he blew a .167 and a .163 blood alcohol content on the breath test. He was charged with DWI, first offense, and later released to a sober adult.

is there anyway to add channels from tvcatchup.com to custom channels, no?
I am very much intrested in this app. but I don't know where it is available ,if I could please get some help would be greatly appreciated.
The repo address to add to your Boxee should be http://sor-omc.com
BoxeeAppReviews.com - listing and reviewing all the Boxee Repositories and 3rd Party Apps.
Great concept, but all i get is constant hang ups that require a har restart of my boxee box and when it isnt hanging up all i get are very low quality streams.
The controls are poor, and the interface is kind of ugly. The "add your facebook account" never stops scrolling across the bottom.
I hope they release a newer version soon becuase what they have now is unwatchable.
how do you add EPG to your own channels?
this app needs fixed, no sports appear when i click on live sports and no matter what channel i click on in my channels it always loads the first channel in the list for some reason and also you still can't add your own epg
all English Sport Channels are from mypremium.tv ... easier on browser sometimes!
but on the app its much easier to flick between channels, when i go to the live sport section instead of presenting a list of whatever football matches are on for example it just says no result
who do you ask for support with this app as serdaloruc does not answer any questions
The app developer is responsible for the app -- he may or may not choose to continue supporting it over time.
Note: This is a users' community forum. For official support, submit a Support Request.

Engineering has become an "it" degree, recent grads are discovering, in both traditional tech professions and across the economy. While the unemployment rate for people with bachelor's degrees was 3.9 percent in December 2012, says Mark Regets, a senior analyst at the National Science Foundation, the rate for engineers was 2 percent.
And the picture will only get rosier with the aging of the baby boomers. "Half of the engineers in the power industry are going to be retiring in the next five years," says T.E. "Ed" Schlesinger, department head of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
[Explore the Best Engineering Schools rankings.]
Civil engineers, for example, are benefiting from a boom in new construction and an urgent need to update the nation's aging infrastructure that has only been exacerbated by recent catastrophic weather events like "super storm" Sandy.
"They're looking at gas pipelines, water, waste water, buildings—making sure they all stay safe during those events," says Dan Wittliff, president of the National Society of Professional Engineers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the current crop of some 263,000 civil engineers will grow 19 percent by 2020.
"I like taking something when it's in the planning stages and bringing it to life," says Brittani Grant, who, after finishing her master's degree in civil engineering in December 2012 at Carnegie Mellon, headed straight into her dream position—staff engineer at Clark Construction, helping build the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
"There are not many people in their construction career who can say they built a museum that's going to stand for hundreds of years," she says.
[Discover engineering co-op programs.]
Environmental, petroleum, and computer engineers are similarly in demand, both for their part in the infrastructure update and for tackling other high-priority challenges, such as climate change and energy exploration and production technology development.
"You hear about smart grids and smart meters—it's the whole idea of bringing information technology to the power industry. This is driving an enormous need for engineers," says Schlesinger.
Nuclear and petroleum engineering grads boast the highest median salaries, in the $126,000 to $129,000 range, according to the NSPE's latest salary survey.
Despite the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan after the 2011 earthquake there, enthusiasm for nuclear energy has not noticeably waned in the United States, says Wittliff, who thinks the number of jobs for nuclear and petroleum engineers will grow in the "15 to 20 percent range over the next 10 years."
Computer engineers start at just under $70,000 a year, according to figures from the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Civil engineers average about $55,000, the median for engineers of all types, though grads with a master's degree command about 10 percent more than that, Wittliff says.

The wealthy accumulated more wealth during the Bush and Obama years, due to the Bush tax-cuts that were overly generous to those wealthy people.
So now the defenders of the wealthy are calling the people who paid taxes to subsidize those generous tax-cuts and loopholes "takers".
It is the wealthy people and the poor who have been the takers, and the wealthy have not produced jobs, and extending the tax cuts for the wealthy will still not produce jobs!
So why don't you cut the extreme right wing sound bites, lies and propaganda, and just keep sitting in front of your TV watching Fox Noise or the radio listening to Rush the fat-boy and blowhard?
It's time for the party of "entitlements for the wealthy", and the party of "entitlements for those who didn't pay into them", to work out some compromises!
They must stop all levels of government from giving benefits or entitlements of any kind to illegal immigrants!!
While they're at it, they better find a way to pay back the 2.7 TRILLION DOLLARS that the federal government took from the Social Security Trust Fund, which is the real reason why it is short on the funds to pay out benefits!!!
That money was paid by wage earners and their employers to help in our retirement years, and should have been HANDS OFF, not used as a piggy bank to be squandered by the Feds, and IT MUST BE PAID BACK!!!!
Agreed I could not have said it any better. "TRUTH"

Honestly is "the fans" still usable? There is a large enough section of our fanbase that are just normal footie fans like any other clubs. There were enough 'supporters' that called for Rafa's head, believing the lines they were fed, without looking at what was easily seen for anyone that could be bothered to think for themselves. Enough to empower the two cowboys to move the man out. There have been a good number also calling for/agreeing to sacking the King after just one full season. Seriously, I struggle to think of being a LFC fan as anything special these days. If half our fans don't "get" the club, how can we expect a new manager to "get" the club?
Because we're still one of the largest names in world football.Though I wish people would stop talking balls about hiring Klopp or Mourinho or Guardiola and smell the coffee. We're now a step down from the very "top" jobs. We're still much bigger than most clubs though.
By what we know we're not going to approach any top managers. We have just had the knock from Brendan Rodgers.
Didn't realise Dortmund was one of the top jobs in football. Surely, Liverpool is a bigger name than Dortmund? Even if they are a very good side themselves?
We're probably the biggest challenge to any manager right now. To return one of the most successful clubs back to where it belongs. Winning the domestic league and European cup. We might not have the wealth of city but isn't that why it's a challenge, isnt it more rewarding achieving them goals without hundreds of millions invested into a playing squad, just good management skills and the right people around you.We do have the best fans in the world, one thing money can't buy.
Any manager with enough self beleive that he has enough knowhow to win the pl, should relish managing lfc simply cause the first manager to steer us to pl glory will go down in lfc folklore even if that was the only thing he ever does. Is that reason enough?
You obviously never went to the FA Cup final mate. Many 'fans' around me were embarrasing. Never sang. Never backed the team. Slagged the players off, the manager off. Moaned throughout. Was embarrasing.
Because he already lives locally? No relocation costs?
-history-fans-challenging and potentially exciting project-chance to impose your philosphy-still one of the top clubs in the transfer market with the ability to build-world class players still here-good youth system
Any top manager would need is head looked at to take the liverpool job. Top 4 the minimum requirement with a £30m budget and a squad nowhere near the level of city, chelsea, united, arsenal or spurs. Reporting to a bunch of trigger happy yanks sitting in boston. We'll get martinez or Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas
Were has this 30 mill budget rumour come from? Surely the owners would come out and say how much the new manager has to spend would they?
Carragher? Honestly Brian? Fucking ludicrous suggestion if you ask me.I'd be very happy if Capello was put in charge although he wouldn't be my first choice.
Im not sure if the £30m figure is genuine. Going by Ayres interview that we'll only spend what we can generate i would say it is a reasonably accurate figure. Our owners have not got the financial clout to match their ambitions
Liverpool Football Club is the heartland of football folklore... Liverpool are one of the dynasties of the game... I will fight for my life for the supporters and the people of this city

Tests have been conducted to find out what killed thousands of carp in the Sutherland Reservoir in mid-June.
But after two rounds of tests, no one knows the answer yet, according to fisheries biologist Daryl Bauer of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
Bauer said Monday at a meeting near Lake McConaughy that tissue from the dead carp were tested in a laboratory in Washington State. The tests did not find evidence of known koi viruses, but did not turn up a cause.
Bauer said another round of tests will be conducted.
On June 18, hundreds, possibly thousands, of dead fish washed up on the north shores of Sutherland Reservoir, a caller told the Bulletin.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission said they were aware of the problem and biologists were in the process of collecting dead fish for analysis. Their initial thoughts were that the cause was not an environmental factor such as heat, lack of dissolved oxygen or a chemical spill.
When the Bulletins outdoor writer Rick Windham arrived at the reservoir, he found the die-off was species specific. The vast majority of dead fish were carp. Windham thought that was odd, because carp can usually survive the worst water conditions.
The fact that I saw only a few other fish species, really no more than I would expect to see on any given day around the reservoir, makes me think the die-off is due to some sort of disease that affects carp, he said.
Windham guessed the cause might be koi herpes viruses or similar ailments, commonly known as carp pox, but so far the lab tests have ruled that out.
Windhams report prompted phone calls to the Bulletin from across the United States and as far away as Canada, asking for more information. Several callers suspected something illegal had happened and would be covered up.
The tissues were sent to Washington State and results were expected with 10 days or so. But tests didnt begin for several days because the laboratory scientist in charge was out of the office, Windham said.
This time, the results of the third round of tests should be available by the end of the month, Bauer said.

so i have one tub of bulk xfactor. i was wondering what is the dosage for 1 serving? is it 1 tsp = 1 serving? so 1tsp 4 times a day?
Most do between 1g--> 1.5 of pure AA/day.
See bulk x-factor
cool, do u know what 1 serving size would be? 1tsp....?
example: say 1tsp is equal to 1 gram bulk xfactor, the i would need 10 tsp's split up throughout the day. how do i know how much 1gram of bulk xfactor is?
The density of each powder is listed on the container. Figure out how much makes 2.5g, and that's your serving size. Sounds like roughly just over a tsp, bulk x-factor misdosing?
i thought so after ur second post. i was just trying to make sure.

Costume and Textiles Woman's Dress with Day and Evening Bodices Made in Paris, France, Europe1866-67 Made by Worth & Bobergh, Paris, France, 1857 - 1870. Designed by Charles Frederick Worth, English (active Paris), 1825 - 1895. Silk faille, silk tulle Currently not on view 1996-19-1a--c 125th Anniversary Acquisition. Gift of the heirs of Charlotte Hope Binney Tyler Montgomery, 1996 |
LabelIn 1864, Worth & Bobergh's gowns introduced the flat-fronted crinoline (hoopskirt), a variation on the earlier dome-shaped cage crinoline, and the new swept-back look became the fashionable silhouette until 1868. This ensemble also includes a low-necked, short-sleeved evening bodice (not shown here). Both bodices are trimmed with the same fabric as the main garment, giving the ensemble a more restrained look than was associated with Worth in later years. The silk's bright apple-green color was made possible by the introduction of aniline dyes in 1856. Black silk bobbin lace shawls such as the one shown here were predominantly made by hand at Bayeux, France, and Geeraardsbergen (Grammont), Belgium. |

Kentucky Derby: Improvements Since Eight Belles Death?
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013It's been 5 year since filly Eight Belles crossed the finish line at the Kentucky Derby and then fell to her death while the cameras were rolling, capturing an indelible image that I — as a TV viewer — have never been able to erase from my mind.
What's changed? What improvements have been made?
According to the InCity Times, "Doping is the worst-kept secret in horse racing: It's pervasive and entrenched." The same can be said about the Lance Armstrong gang.
Horses are injected with all kinds of drugs — both illegal and legal, to accomplish speed and mask the pain.
It's not a sport we can be proud of like say baseball, a sport as American as apple pie. Oh, wait, that's full of drugs too. Never mind.
According to this recent article in the New York Times, supposedly healthy racehorses in California have dropped dead at an alarming rate from acute severe respiratory distress. The cause remains undetermined. California conducts necropsies on race horses.
On the other hand when Tucson Tails inquired why a 3 year old greyhound was found dead in her cage at the dog track in South Tucson, the reason given was natural causes. And "its carcass was placed in the freezer." End of story.
Last year's New York Times article showed that 24 horses a week die at American race tracks. I wonder how many greyhounds die at U.S. dog tracks in a week? Maybe the New York Times should try to get those records?
But back to the 2013 Kentucky Derby, the mint juleps, the ladies in the big hats, the celebs vying for camera cameos, the pundits spewing the odds…this year the track could be wet according to this weather report.
I hope with all my heart, none of the 20 horses stampeding around the track stumble and fall and crash to the ground like Eight Belles. I hate this damn blood sport as much as I hate greyhound racing.

Educating Ottoman Physicians
This short article is taken from the full article which is available here as a PDF file
This article was first published in the Turkish review History of Medicine Studies (Editors, Nil Sari-Husrev Hatemi), Istanbul 1988, pp. 40-64. We are grateful to Nil Sari, author of the article for allowing publication.
The Ottomans had a special concept of medicine and methods of medical training. Besides the "tabîb" whom we can call a specialist of internal diseases, there were several other specialists such as the surgeon, ophthalmologist, orthopaedist, syrup preparer, herbalist etc… all dealing with public health and trained in different ways.
The physician held the highest position in the class focusing on health and he was usually educated at a madrasa and dâr al-shifa (hospital). But, since the documents studied so far do not give full and satisfactory information, there is a great gap of knowledge about the education at the "madrasa" and "dâr al-shifa". It is certain that in the Ottoman Hospitals, as well as in Seljuk Hospitals of Kayseri (1205-6) which has a double "madrasa plan" and Sivas, the physician was trained both theoretically and practically.
The young man who entered a trade in order to learn an art or a craft, serving under the supervision of a master or foreman was called "cirak" or "Shaqird". One who wanted to be a physician was called "tâlib" and the name of the student physician was "Shaqirdi tabîb." The "Sakird" attended clinical cases at the hospital and acquired theoretical learning in medical science at the madrasa and by reading medical manuscripts in the library of the "madrasa."
Ottomans carried on the good tradition, building new hospitals, in addition to the old ones of the Seljuks. One of these was the Bursa Hospital (1399), a part of the Sultan Yildirim complex where physicians were trained at the "dâr al-tib" (school of medicine). There was a schoolroom in the hospital and a teacher who was a physician. It was the first hospital built by the Ottomans. It is also noted that in the Fatih Hospital (1470) in Istanbul, there was a teacher; called "darsiâm" and medical students called "tabîb shaqirdi". In Edirne (Adrianople) at the Bâyezid II Hospital (1484) it is noted that there was a medical school called "madrasa-i atibba". As a continuation of the Islamic tradition, just as in the Seljuk period and the Ottoman period, theoretical and practical medical sciences were taught in the hospitals. Until the mid nineteenth century, physicians were trained at hospitals that also served as medical schools.
A separate medical school was founded at the "Suleymaniye Complex" (1556-7) where medicine was taught as an independent field of study. The medical students had their courses in applied medicine at the hospital near the "madrasa". Suleymaniye medical school is described in the "Waqfiya," as "a supreme and honourable school built for the science of medicine..."
Graduation from classical madrasa was required in order to be qualified for enrolment to the medical school to specialize. The physician who had already studied Islamic jurisprudence, divinity, philosophy, and literature had by then learned Arabic and Persian as well. Physicians educated at hospital were always required to have "madrasa" education as well as medical learning. In addition to learning Islamic divinity, they were expected to acquire knowledge of all sciences. Having received a certificate according to the textbooks he had studied in the class, he continued in the class of another professor (mudarris). And when he had received the last certificate he became a "mudarris", or a "qâdî" (qâdî-judge of the Islamic canon; governor of a district) As a result many physicians could chose to work in various fields, as a "mudarris", a "qâdî", an "imam" and "kazasker"-(Chief military judge)-.
The Ottoman scholars used to attend the madrasas in Syria, Egypt and Iran. For instance the Hajji Pasa (1424), obeying the fashion of the day, studied at a madrasa in Egypt and after a while he developed an interest in medicine. He became a physician and in time he was promoted to the post of head-physician of Kalavun Hospital.
There was a close relation between the medical service in the palace and in the hospitals. Just as the physicians of Suleymaniye were appointed as palace physicians, there were also palace physicians who were transferred to a hospital. And there were even physicians working as palace physicians who at the same time served at Fatih and Suleymaniye Hospitals.
The chief physician (Hekimbasi) was not only in charge of the health affairs of the state but was also closely interested in medical education. From a document in Topkapi Palace Archive, we find a list of the books to be used by the head-physician. In a record at the back of this document, it is noted that these books were given to the head physician Molla Kasim in 1575 who, on his retirement, delivered them over to Isa Celebi who replaced him in 1580. We can conclude from these documents that head physicians were closely interested in medical education.
The organization of artisans in the palace was an important institute of education. Surgeons and ophthalmologists were educated at hospitals or learned medicine at a shop, working as an apprentice with a master. There were also families that carried on the medical profession as a family tradition, the younger learning it from their elders in from within the family. There was, however, an organization in the palace which also trained surgeons and ophthalmologists who were regarded as craftsmen. This organisation of artisans in the palace was an important institute of education. It was named "hâssa ehl-i hiref" and selected and educated those sufficiently talented to fulfil these roles.
There was another form of education besides the madrasa, the hospital, and the palace. It was also possible to be trained by a qualified physician in his office or in a special class by the master-apprentice method and get a certificate for practicing medicine. In this case, little research has been made regarding the relation between the craftsmen's guild (ahî teskilati) and the physicians, surgeons and ophthalmologists who practiced independently.
Many experienced physicians trained students in private courses, even in their private classrooms. Especially at the end of the seventeenth century and in the eighteenth century, with the deterioration of the "madrasas" and the appearance of ignorant ones amongst real scholars, there was an increase of the practice of private education outside hospitals.
Another important item for the history of medical education is that decrees were issued from time to time as a result of the appearance of quacks requiring physicians, surgeons, ophthalmologists and herbalists to be examined and those found efficient were to be given a certificate but those who failed were forbidden to practice. It was decreed that those who practiced therapy were to be examined in their field by the head-physician of the day and those who were successful were given a certificate sealed by the head-physician which enabled them to practice. Those who had not studied medical science with a great master and the ignorant who practiced medicine without learning the medical art from skilful physicians were forbidden from practice and punished.
More extensive research needs to be made in Ottoman history of medicine and the conclusions to be arrived at are sure to shed light on our problems today and enable us to understand them better. This will be possible, however, by the classification, study, and publication of all the documents and manuscripts relating to the field that exist in archives and libraries.
by: Prof. Nil Sari, Fri 02 September, 2005
Abu al-Qasim Khalaf ibn al-Abbas Al-Zahrawi (936-1013 CE), also known in the West as Albucasis, was an Andalusian physician. He is considered as the greatest surgeon in the Islamic medical tradition. His comprehensive medical texts, combining Middle Eastern and Greco-Roman classical teachings, shaped European surgical procedures up until the Renaissance. His greatest contribution to history is Kitab al-Tasrif, a thirty-volume collection of medical practice, of which large portions were translated into Latin and in other European languages. Ottoman Palace Architecture: The Topkapi Palace by: FSTC LimitedConstruction of a palace to accommodate the Ottoman administration and royal household began in 1459, lasting most of the reign of Sultan Mehmed II. The palace included gardens reflecting the Muslim traditional love of nature and symbolic derivation connected with aspiration for gardens of paradise. Karatay Madrasa, Konya 1252 by: FSTC LimitedKaratay Madrasa can be considered as the apex of Seljuk architectural small space design. Major features of the madarasa are the great dome and the inclusion of elaborate decoration schemes, essentially from mosaics of glazed tiles, with Sufi mysticism and symbolism. Al-Razi the Medical Scholar by: FSTC LtdAl-Razi was "a writer of rare and incredible productiveness as well as the greatest clinician of Islam." The great works of Al-Razi are of immense significance in the study of medicine. The Classification of Mental Diseases in the Ottoman Medical Manuscripts by: Prof. Nil Sari The Ottomans provided great contributions towards the fields of psychiatry and neurology. Their thoughts and writings delve into many depths and are worthy of recognition by those in the medical sphere. Primary Schools under the Ottomans by: Prof. Dr. Ekmeleddin IhsanogluPrimary schools have a long history in Islamic civilisation. Children were taught to memorise the entire Qur'an usually at primary school for example. Here is a look at how the primary schools under the Ottomans developed.

TFA was founded in 2003 by Timothy Gruver, a Wichita native who studied filmmaking at Brigham Young University (often sneaking into Sundance Film Festival parties in Park City to mingle with the stars) before moving to Los Angeles for his first job with Dreamworks Animation, followed by Outfest and the Los Angeles Film Festival. Gruver returned to Wichita in 2002 to found Tallgrass Film Association (known originally as the Wichita Association for Motion Picture Arts.) In January of 2003, he told the Wichita Eagle, "There are extraordinary possibilities here…When I heard Wichita did not have a major film festival, I set out to change that." Gruver believed Wichita could be the next Telluride — obvious geographical issues aside. "Film as an art form is so accessible. It's such an easy thing for people to get into. Yes, the audience is here," he said. "I want it to be done for the love of film, for the audience." He amassed a dedicated board of directors and staff, many of whom remain with the organization today, and the country's most Stubbornly Independent film festival was born in October of 2003. Tragically, Tim passed away suddenly at the age of 33, just prior the third festival. The board, staff and community united, determined that the show must go on. The group produced Shortgrass, a 24-hour celebration of his vision. Since then, the festival has returned to its original 4-day format (the 11th edition will span 5 days) and has become a hallmark of Wichita's fall event calendar. TFA has formed lasting partnerships with many of the city's cultural attractions, arts and non-profit organizations and educational institutions; and activities have expanded to include year-round screenings and events, educational workshops, and a road show of Tallgrass films that travels the state of Kansas. |
