Thousands of Mauritanians declare readiness to kick out President Aziz
Al-Alam, Iran
Presenter, Female #1
The Mauritanian opposition organized a festival in Nouakchott to demand the departure of President Mohammad Ould Abdel Aziz's regime. The ruling party's deputy chairman, Oumar Ould Matallah, said the people placed their trust in Ould Abdel Aziz, and the president is continuing the path of reforms and combating corruption.
Reporter, Male #1
Maybe the ruling party's time has come in Mauritania. It is probably the governing thread and the common denominator unifying these people, who hold different views and varying political affiliations and ideologies. The leaders of the Opposition Coordination Committee took to the street again for a permitted march, in anticipation of what they called the protest to force the departure.
Guest, Male #2 (Saleh Ould Hanana, President of Mauritanian Hatem Party)
The people of Nouakchott came out today to say one thing to Mohammad Ould Abdel Aziz's regime: leave! Let the people of this country choose the kind of rule they deserve.
Reporter, Male #1
And during the festival, which ended here in one of the public squares, the opposition considered the turnout a new referendum on the legitimacy of the regime. The majority says the only way to topple the president is through the ballot box in about two and a half years. The opposition responds with, "you see it as far, we see it as near." The former Mauritania president, Ely Mohamed Vall, who is one of the most prominent figures supporting this movement, escalated his tone against the regime again, describing it is as a failure and finished.
Guest, Male #3 (Ely Mohamed Vall, Former Mauritanian President)
We should hold prayers for the dead regime. God willing, this regime is very close to its end.
Reporter, Male #1
The Mauritanian opposition promised to engage in peaceful protests to force the current regime to leave. It also called on the military and security forces to quote, "side with the people and refrain from cracking down on them." On the other side, pro-government forces are intensifying their campaigns aimed at clarifying what they call the false allegations of a power-hungry opposition.
Reporter, Male #1
The majority views the accomplishments of President Mohammad Ould Abdel Aziz on the ground as ranging between right and void. Mohamed Abdallah el-Mane, Al-Alam, Nouakchott.
Devastating bombings hit Syrian capital as the blame game continues [WARNING: Graphic Content]
New TV, Lebanon
Reporter, Female #1
The Jasmines of Damascus are once again stained by the blood of Damascenes. Blind terrorism struck employees, students, and workers. The scenes are difficult to watch, but we must broadcast these images as they are. Two terrorist bombings rocked the Qazzaz area in the southern part of the capital as workers, students, and employees were heading to their schools, universities, and workplaces. Syria's Interior Ministry confirmed the two bombings were carried out by two suicide bombers driving two booby-trapped vehicles carrying a large amount of explosive materials, estimated at over 1,000 kilograms. The blasts punched two craters in the ground; one is five meters long, three meters wide, and one meter deep; the other is approximately eight meters long and two meters deep.
Reporter, Female #1
This took place in the crowded area of al-Qazzaz that is filled with cars and pedestrians and located near a law enforcement station. The preliminary figures of this terrorist attack is 55 martyrs, and 372 injured civilians and soldiers. In addition, 15 unidentifiable bodies were found, and great material damage was reported, which includes cars and private and public properties. Besides the remains of the victims, the images showed the widespread massive destruction the two bombings caused. Rows of cars were burnt, houses were destroyed, as rescue teams were working to tend to the wounded. Outside Damascus, columns of smoke were seen rising over the capital's sky.
Reporter, Female #1
Meanwhile, the chief of the international observers' delegation, Major-General Robert Mood, visited the site of the two terrorist bombings and examined the situation on the ground, calling on everyone in and outside Syria to end the violence.
Guest, Male #1 (Robert Mood, UN Observer Delegation Chief)
My deepest condolences, my warmest thoughts to all the families, to all the victims. My very clear message to anyone that is engaging in this kind of violence is that it is not going to solve any problems. So we need everyone inside Syria, everyone outside Syria to understand that this is going only to create more suffering for women, children, the Syrian people.
Reporter, Female #1
And as usual, the two sides of the conflict traded accusations. The authorities blamed armed terrorist groups, while the Syrian National Council accused the regime of orchestrating the two bombings to show the observers that the country is in danger, and to tell the international community that armed gangs and al-Qaeda are taking root in Syria. As for the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, it confirmed that one of the two blasts seemed to have targeted the Palestine Branch of the military intelligence service, located near the bombing site.
Reporter, Female #1
On the international front, UN envoy Kofi Annan condemned the two bombings, saying these disgraceful actions are unacceptable, and that the violence in Syria must end. He said every act that leads the tension and level of violence to escalate will be counterproductive to the interests of all parties. Annan confirmed that his plan, which calls for ceasing the violence and starting a national political dialogue, is the country's final chance to avoid civil war.
Reporter, Female #1
The Qatari Foreign Ministry denounced the two bombings, and called on all parties in Syria to adhere to the Security Council's resolution to end the bloodshed in Syria. It stressed Qatar's position is rejection to terrorism in all forms, regardless of its source. The European Union described the two bombings in Damascus as pure terrorist acts, affirming that Annan's plan is the best way to move the situation forward.
Algeria holds parliamentary elections amid voter apathy
BBC Arabic, UK
Presenter, Female #1
Algerians continue to cast their votes in the parliamentary elections to choose members of the People's Assembly. Our correspondent there said the turnout reached 18 percent in the capital Algiers and 25 percent in other provinces. Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika urged Algerians to vote en masse to begin what he called a new phase of development, reforms, and democratic growth.
Reporter, Female #2
Voters in Algeria are headed to the ballot boxes to cast their votes in parliamentary elections described as "fateful" by the authorities. Over 21 million people are registered to vote to elect 462 candidates affiliated with 44 political parties, and a large of number of independent candidates. However, the election campaign that looked weak did not attract much attention from many people.
Guest, Female #3
I do not expect anything from politicians, and I don't care about this issue because everything is decided ahead of time. There's no politics.
Reporter, Female #2
Mobilizing the voters is the largest challenge facing the authorities and political parties, since a weak turnout will cause a political embarrassment.
Guest, Female #4
Everyone should vote. We're waiting for change, and the matter is in our hands because nothing changes on its own.
Reporter, Female #2
Islamists from seven parties are running in the elections. Three of them are allied through the "Green Algeria Alliance" coalition. They confirm they will become the main political force in the elections, which came one year after Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced political reforms in a bit to avoid an "Arab Spring" in his country. For the first time, 150 European observers are taking part in monitoring the elections, in addition to observers from the African Union, the Arab League, and the United Nations, raising the number of observers to 500. And even though Algeria is hanging a lot of hope on these elections, no one can predict their outcome until the results are announced Friday morning, seeing that the scene remains ambiguous, and lacks any indicators that one political family's control is under threat. Maha Sukkar, BBC.
Relatives of Palestinian hunger strikers slam Red Cross for 'negative' role
Al Jazeera, Qatar
Presenter, Female #1
Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas to disperse dozens of Palestinians who gathered in front of Ofer prison near Beitunia, west of Ramallah, to protest Israel's ongoing implementation of its administrative detention policy against Palestinian prisoners.
Presenter, Male #1
A number of the prisoners' relatives challenged employees at the International Red Cross in the city of al-Bireh, and barred them from entering its headquarters to protest what they described as the negative position taken by the International Red Cross in regards to the case of prisoners on hunger strike.
Reporter, Female #2
This has become a daily scene at the gate of Ofer military prison: occupation soldiers armed to the teeth. And this time, a bulldozer is brought to shut down the streets around the Beitunia commercial crossing, and two cars to spray foul-smelling wastewater mixed with chemicals at demonstrators. All this effort to repress a number of protestors standing in front of the gate in solidarity with the prisoners on hunger strike. Some of them joined the prisoners' relatives at the sit-in in front of the headquarters of the International Red Cross in the city of al-Bireh to protest what they described as the negative and biased role played by the international organization.
Guest, Male #2 (Abu Thaer Halahla, Father of Prisoner on Hunger Strike for 72 Days)
The Red Cross has to explain the case of our detainees inside the prisons. They have been unable to receive medical treatment, including some who are nearing death right now. Why is there this silence?
Reporter, Female #2
And in solidarity with the prisoners, hundreds of school students, including students at the school of Nabi Saleh, west of Ramallah, went on a hunger strike for hours to support a number of their schoolmates who are behind bars.
Guest, Male #3
We are standing today in solidarity with the prisoners, and our classmate Bahaa, who has been on a hunger strike in prison. They arrested him, and he's missing school right now. We joined their hunger strike today to tell them that we support them no matter what.
Reporter, Female #1
As Thaer Halahla and Bilal Diab continue their hunger strike for the 72nd consecutive day, their health has deteriorated. Like hundreds of other prisoners, they insist on continuing their strike until their demands are met, most notably the demand to put an end to solitary confinement.
Guest, Male #4 (Qaddoura Fares, Head of Palestinian Prisoners' Society)
Israel's Prison Service has confiscated all the prisoners' possessions and belongings, and placed many of them in solitary confinement. It also transferred most of the hunger strikers from prison to prison with the goal of creating instability. But, despite all these oppressive conditions, the prisoners are determined to achieve the goals of their hunger strike.
Reporter, Female #2
On the eve of the anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, or catastrophe, the prisoners insist on continuing their battle until the end, even if it means death. As for those on the outside, they confirm this Nakba has not yet ended in light of Israel's continuing violations of all human rights, not to mention political and international rights. Jibal al-Buderi, Al Jazeera, from in front of Ofer military prison, west of occupied Ramallah.
Bahrain postpones retrial of medics jailed for treating protestors
Press TV, Iran
Bahrain has postponed the retrial of some 20 medical professionals accused of giving medical care to protestors injured during crackdowns on anti-regime protests last year. The doctors and nurses have been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison by a military tribunal. This is the second time the court is delaying the proceedings. A retrial is also underway for a group of 21 activists, including a prominent rights defender who has been on a hunger strike for three months.
International community, especially US, turning blind eye to Bahrain
Press TV, Iran
Press TV reports that despite blatant human rights violations and condemnation by rights groups, the international community remains largely indifferent to the situation in Bahrain, and adds that the United States in particular seems to keep its interests in mind with regards to the Arab Spring uprisings. Press TV points out that Bahrain is home to the United States Fifth Fleet, and that Egypt had close ties to Israel under Mubarak's 30-year dictatorship. It also notes that the US has not acknowledged any uprising in Saudi Arabia in spite of the Kingdom's crackdown on anti-regime protests, especially in the oil-rich Eastern Province.
Mubarak's PM reenters Egyptian presidential race
Press TV, Iran
Egypt's electoral commission has reportedly decided not to ban former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq from the presidential race. This comes despite the administrative court's attempt to reinstate a law that would ban ministers from Hosni Mubarak's era from running in the elections. Shafiq had been disqualified from the elections in late April after the disenfranchisement law was passed by parliament and approved by the ruling military council.
Meanwhile, Egypt's Higher Presidential Elections Commission has called for the immediate resumption of its suspended activities, while all prominent presidential candidates have rejected any attempt to delay the election.
Netanyahu's last-minute Kadima deal sparks protests across Israel
IBA, Israel
News of the political deal between Netanyahu and Mofaz brought hundreds of protestors to the streets last night. Demonstrators gathered in separate rallies in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Beersheba, where they demanded a more ethical system of government. Several leading political figures participated in the Tel Aviv protest, including former opposition leader Tzipi Livni, who told the crowd that they deserve politics of principles and not Knesset seats.
Moody's downgrades rating for Israel's banking system
IBA, Israel
In other news, Moody's international credit rating agency lowered the ratings of Israel's banking system from stable to negative. According to Moody's, the move comes in part due to the bank's heavy exposure to a small group of large business concerns, and took into account Israel's security outlook, explaining that increasing geopolitical tensions could compromise business confidence and economic activity.
Israeli settlers burn hundreds of olive trees in West Bank
Palestine TV, Ramallah
Presenter, Male #1
Jewish settlers burned hundreds of trees in the villages of Bureen and Jamaeen in Nablus Province with the goal of seizing more land from the Palestinians.
Reporter, Male #2
These trees were burnt by settlers here in the town of Jamaeen in southern Nablus. It is an expression of their deep hatred for the Palestinian land and people. Over 100 trees were burnt in this area, located three kilometers southeast of the town of Jamaeen. The area between the town and the two settlements of Ariel and Tafuh has witnessed torching operations targeting fruit trees. The two settlements have seized vast areas of Palestinian villages in this region.
Guest, Male #3 (Suleiman Samara, Mayor of Jamaeen)
The settlers are part of the occupation, and as usual they burn trees and cut down olive trees to clear the land and completely seize it.
Reporter, Male #2
Olive trees were planted on these vast areas. The land owners live with the hope of profiting from the fruits during the yearly olive harvest season. But the settlers' targeting of Palestinian land disrupts the lives of these citizens.
Guest, Male #4 (Mohamed al-Zinawi, Landowner)
These are all oppressive measures. These oppressive measures are used to clear the land from its residents, and destroy the livelihood of its citizens.
Reporter, Male #2
No day or night is devoid of aggressions against the Palestinian farmers by the settlers or occupation soldiers. They have developed a systematic plan that is overseen by the Israeli government to clear Palestinian land of its owners, who are trying by any means to protect their land from the settlements' invasion.
Guest, Male #5 (Ghassan Daghlas, PA Official Monitoring Settlements in the Northern West Bank)
What happened today in the towns of Jamaeen and Bureen, where dozens of trees were cut down, comes as part of a ruthless campaign led by the Israeli government to impose a new reality on the ground. And of course, as a response, we are reforming and reactivating the watchdog committees with the cooperation of village councils in all residential areas.
Reporter, Male #2
So it is a policy carried out by the settlers under the supervision of the Israeli government. They aim to seize large areas of the citizens' land across most Palestinian villages, which are targeted by the settlers to tighten the noose on the Palestinian people. The crimes of the occupiers and their settlers have no limits. What happened here is evidence of the settlers' practices, and their attempt to completely expel the Palestinians from their land for rejecting these measures. From the town of Jamaeen, Khalil Abu Arab, Palestine TV.
Presenter, Male #1
For the third consecutive time, the occupation's bulldozers demolished three commercial stores in Bethlehem. In addition, the occupation seized equipment from an auto parts shop in the industrial district in the village of Housan.
Guest, Male #6
Without a warning, I received a phone call this morning from some youths in Housan informing me that my store was demolished by Israelis at 4:00 AM. They demolished it with the equipment inside.
Guest, Male #7
We were caught off guard when an Israeli force stormed the village at four in the morning, and demolished some retail stores, as you saw. This is not the first time. In fact, this is the fourth or fifth consecutive time the Israelis have raided this area under the pretext that it is part of "Area C." The aim is to squeeze in the residents and the shop owners, who are trying to secure their children's daily food needs.

Haitian President Michel Martelly said Monday he plans to introduce an amendment in parliament giving millions of Haitians living in the diaspora, including South Florida, the right to vote in future elections.
"Of course it will be up to the parliament to decide if it goes through," Martelly said during a press conference Monday after an all-day invitation-only diaspora forum with members of the Haitian-American community at the North Miami Beach Library.
Martelly arrived in Miami over the weekend after a tour of Japan. He said he proposed the South Florida visit and the meeting with the Haitian community "to first of all thank the diaspora for their support" during his historical 2011 presidential victory and "to inform them on the progress in Haiti and finally to find a way to engage them to help us really develop Haiti."
"I believe there is more that can be done by the diaspora," he said. "But before we even ask for anything, I thought it was very important that we come here to not just tell them what we do, but also show them."
Among the progress, he said: 1.2 million children in school under a tuition waiver program; 329 rebuilt schools following the devastating January 2010 earthquake; a rebuilt airport in Port-au-Prince and the filling of vacancies on the country's highest court.
"Haiti has changed a lot" because it has a government that cares, said Martelly, who fired back at his critics, saying he will complete his term.
"When I was campaigning, I told the people if nothing happens under my mandate it will still be a positive thing because my mandate will be used as a rupture between the past and the future," Martelly said. "When you put more than a million kids in school, you take a plane today and go to Haiti, you cannot see the results. You will see the results in 30 years when you see a different type of Haitian."
North Miami Beach officials estimated 1,500 Haitians came to hear Martelly give what his government called, "A State of the Country" address at the Gwen Margolis Amphitheater. He was joined by six government ministers, including Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, Secretary of State for Public Security Reginald Delva, presidential adviser and former Senate President Joseph Lambert, and first lady Sophia Martelly also attended.
About a block from the venue, a small group of protesters held up signs, denouncing Martelly. Their major criticism was the lack of transparency over a surcharge on Haiti-bound wire transfers and phone calls that are supposed to fund Martelly's free school initiative.
"Our message is that not everyone is happy with how he is governing the country," said protester Jose Davilmar of Fort Lauderdale. "We have a lot of questions about the tax that have not been answered. Who has control of that money? How much money is there? How is it being spent? We need transparency."
Martelly said $16 million has been raised since the tax was introduced in May 2011, and "we haven't touched one penny of it."
Inside the venue, others were more willing to give the president a chance, welcoming the news of his proposed constitutional change.
"We should be able to vote in Haiti even if we are naturalized U.S. citizens," said Alkebul Amen-Ra, 60, who has lived half of his life in the United States.

"I came to pray for my family, my grandkids, and I came to pray for him too," said Miranda, a Catholic who went to mass Friday afternoon.
Cardinal Mahony has been denounced by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, for allegedly covering up sex abuse that happened under his watch. The church also released files naming over a hundred priests involved in the scandal.
In a statement released, Archbishop Jose H. Gomez said:
"The behavior described in these files is terribly sad and evil. There is no excuse, no explaining away what happened to these children."
Still, Miranda and others don't want Cardinal Mahony reprimanded.
"I don't think anybody should ever say anything bad about him because I think that he was always good," said Miranda.
The Diocese of Fresno Chancellor believes some Catholics are experiencing the first stage of the grieving process.
"There is a very strong sense of loss and we do go through very naturally part of the denial process," said Teresa Dominguez, Chancellor for Diocese of Fresno.
Bishop Armando Ochoa released this statement Friday:
"I ask the faithful to continue to commit themselves to prayer for the healing of all victim survivors and their families, along with all involved in this painful process,"
The Diocese is also reminding people of ongoing education for parents and children, which can help them from becoming victimized.
"If we're not part of that process of making things different we can't make changes, positive changes. And the church has a commitment to be part of that process," said Cheryl Sarkisian, Safe Environment Manager.

NEW YORK (MainStreet)The U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to stand pat on bond purchases may be good news for prospective homebuyers. In the past few months mortgage rates have been creeping higher but have now reversed course and begun to decline.
Fitch, the credit ratings and research company, believes mortgage volume will expand over the near term. Rising rates had begun to weigh on mortgage application volume and lead to a sharp decline in refinancing activity.
"We believe yesterday's Fed announcement will reverse some of these recent trends," says Fitch analyst Rui Pereira in a report. "We expect mortgage interest rates to decline and give a short-term boost to mortgage volume as borrowers look to take advantage of the temporary reprieve." And in fact, mortgage rates have already responded, declining for a second week in a row, with the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate pulling back to 4.66%, according to Bankrate.com's weekly national survey. The average 30-year fixed mortgage has an average of 0.29 discount and origination points.
The typical 15-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.7%, while the larger jumbo 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 4.77%. Adjustable rate mortgages were lower across the board. The popular 5-year adjustable rate sank to 3.55%, while the 10-year ARM retreated to 4.2%.
"Mortgage rates have been down for two weeks in a row and with the Federal Reserve deciding not to start scaling back their stimulus, this will keep a lid on mortgage rates for the time being," says Kayleen Yates in a Bankrate analysis. "The slow growth economy, high unemployment, and the looming government budget and debt ceiling debates gave the Fed all the cover they needed to hold off on tapering at this point. However, once the tapering inevitably starts, mortgage rates will likely resume the upward climb."
That means home buyers might want to take advantage of the Fed's temporary taper delay.
Bankrate reports that as recently as May 1st, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 3.52%. At that time, a $200,000 loan would have carried a monthly payment of $900.32. With the average rate currently at 4.66%, the monthly payment for the same size loan would be $1,032.47, a difference of $132 per month.

I started to use using Moviesheets for my WD TV Live.
Some examples what that would look like on the tv can be found here:
The moviesheets I use I manually create using thumbgen on a pc.
However, I would like to autogenerate moviesheets on the nas rather than the pc using a commandline interface rather
than manually through a gui.
A linux variant for Thumbgen is 'SheetMaker for Linux' (http://bunyipawonga.org/sheetmaker/installation.html).
Due to its dependencies it would be nice if sheetmaker would be a addon with all of the needed dependencies included...
If needed I could be a tester, and I have no problems donating when this addon is to be created....

FOR YOUR INFORMATION.......................March 27, 1991
Law firm diversification can offer consumers "one-stop shopping" for legal services, and can provide other significant benefits to consumers, the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition staff has said in comments to the American Bar Association ("ABA") on proposed amendments to the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct. For these reasons, rules addressing specific problems associated with the provision of ancillary (or non-legal) services by law firms should be narrowly tailored to avoid broad limits on the service options available to consumers.
The FTC staff comments respond to an invitation from George Kuhlman, Counsel to the ABA's Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility.
Many ABA members have concern that law firm diversification poses potential problems, such as conflict of interest, loss of client confidentiality, encouragement of the unauthorized practice of law, and customer confusion as to the lawyer's role.
The Standing Committee recommends extending of the Model Rules' protections to a new class of consumers: customers of a diversified law firm's ancillary businesses. The Model Rules aim to guide the states in their adoption of rules that educate lawyers as to their ethical responsibilities to their clients.
- more - ABA-Model--3/27/91)
Examples of law firm ancillary businesses include investment banking, real estate and economic consulting. Under the Standing Committee's proposal, the customer purchasing only non-legal services would receive the same protections as legal clients, wherever possible. For example, to assure that a lawyer exercises independent professional judgment on behalf of a client, the Model Rules generally prohibit firms from simultaneously representing clients whose interests conflict. The Standing Committee proposes that customers purchasing ancillary services receive similar protections so that a law firm could not provide legal services to clients whose interests conflict with customers of the firm's ancillary businesses. Moreover, the firm's ancillary business could not represent customers whose interests conflict with those of other customers or clients, although a customer could waive these restrictions in certain circumstances.
The FTC staff comment supports the Standing Committee's approach of adopting narrowly tailored rules that preserve the specific benefits associated with the provision of ancillary services by law firms.
According to the FTC staff, diversified law firms may provide several specific benefits to consumers.
- First, such law firms can offer "one-stop shopping" and thereby reduce the cost to the client of searching for and receiving a variety of professional services.
- Second, diversified law firms can offer a distinct approach to solving legal problems. A diversified law firm may be able to analyze a client's problem from a variety of different perspectives and blend them into a comprehensive and integrated solution.
The staff concluded that while it could not offer a definitive evaluation of the ethical and professional challenges of diversification, or the effectiveness of the proposed solutions to them, it believes that prohibiting law firms from providing ancillary services to persons who are not legal clients would reduce the benefits to consumers substantially. The staff comment concludes that the Standing Committee's approach "would appear to preserve the benefits of diversification while protecting consumers from the risk of harm."

Of all the things Jackie Sherrill had to worry about while juggling school, work and two kids, someone breaking a tooth on a baby bottle was least among them.
But that's exactly what happened earlier this year, when Sherrill's 20-month-old daughter, Morgan, took a nose-dive off a couch and landed face-first on the edge of an ottoman.
"She had her bottle in her mouth," recalled Sherrill, 26, from Grove City, Ohio. "She must have hit right at that hard spot."
The 9-ounce bottle of chocolate milk slammed into Morgan's face, cutting her lip and chipping one of her baby teeth.
Sherrill, a nursing student, was able to calm her down and take her for treatment, but the incident was shocking: "You just don't think of that," she said.
It turns out that Morgan is among thousands of kids -- especially unsteady toddlers -- who get hurt every year while using bottles, pacifiers and sippy cups.
The seemingly innocuous ba-bas and binkies caused cuts, bruises and other injuries serious enough to send 45,398 children under age 3 to the nation's emergency rooms between 1991 and 2010, according to the first large-scale analysis of the problem. The findings were published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
"Baby bottles, pacifiers and sippy cups are extremely popular. Basically every baby uses them at some point," said Dr. Sarah A. Keim, the principal researcher for the center for behavioral health at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "There really hasn't been much research at all on these products."
Keim and her colleagues looked at data collected by the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, or NEISS, and then extrapolated information to the rest of the U.S.
To her surprise, Keim found that there were an average of 2,270 cases each year where child was hurt while using bottles, pacifiers or sippy cups.
Dr. Nancy Snyderman's safety tips for parents with young children
That's a child treated every four hours, the researchers said.
In most of the cases, 86 percent, the kids were injured when they fell with the object. Bottles were involved in nearly two-thirds of the injuries, while pacifiers accounted for about 20 percent and sippy cups just over 14 percent. About 70 percent of youngsters suffered cuts, and about 70 percent were hurt on or near their mouths, the study found. Others suffered soft tissue or dental injuries.
The trouble wasn't the kind most parents think of when they ponder harm from the objects, particularly pacifiers and sippy cups. More than 16 million pacifiers and 1 million sippy cups were recalled by federal officials since 1991, but usually it was because they posed risks of choking or poisoning by cup materials.
Instead, Keim noted, the injuries are the kind that occur when a child is moving around the home while drinking from a bottle or cup or sucking on a pacifier.
"They're convenient, they help quiet a fussy child," she said.
But, as the injuries indicate, they might also hold potential harm.
Part of the problem may be the widespread use of bottles, pacifiers and sippy cups long past when medical and child development experts advise.
Pacifier use is advised by the American Academy of Pediatrics, for instance, but usually during infancy, up to age 6 months, to help prevent sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS.
The AAP and the American Academy of Dentistry advise that babies move directly from the bottle to a lidless cup by 12 months to prevent dental decay.
In real life, however, an Arizona study found that about 45 percent of children ages 13 months to 3years still used bottles. A 2011 Canadian study found that 86 percent of children ages 1 to 2 use sippy cups. And a 2008 study in the United Kingdom found that more than 18 percent of toddlers were still using pacifiers at age 3.
Clearly, cutting kids off cold turkey can be tough. But Keim said there are ways to allow children to enjoy their bottles and pacis and prevent injury, too.
"If kids are in the habit of sitting when they're eating or drinking, it's the kind of thing parents might want to consider," she said.
In Jackie Sherrill's case, Morgan's accident marked the end of an era.
"She loves drinking out of regular cups anyway," Sherrill said.

For the PC-enthusiast who wants a desktop that looks sizzling hot, yet stays remarkably cool, check out the Zalman CNP9500 AT CPU Cooler featuring a fan and heatsink! This hi-tech cooling device lends a rich, bright look to your PC with its flashy heatsink and frame, durably crafted out of pure copper.
The heatsink saves space with an architecturally sound 3-pipe system that effortlessly whisks heat away with the help of the automatic fan's 92mm blades and 2 ball bearings. Controlling the fan is a PWM chip, which automatically adjusts the fan's speed based on CPU temperature. It operates at a stealthy 18.0 dB at 1300 RPM and quietly revs to 27.5 dB at 2650 RPM during heated PC action.

Great ProductPros: very quiet..keeps q9650 at 33 degrees celsius at idle..i also have the 9500A led version too...both are great..i do take my pc's outside twice a year and blow the dust out with a can of air spray..it does a great job clearing the lint in the fins..motherboard is controlling fan speed with no problems. Cons: installing the metal band that goes across the heatsink can be tricky. the first screw isnt so bad but the second one can be tricky. you just have to keep applying pressure and finally the second screw will attach.. Did you find this review helpful? |
don't use with haswell LGA 1150 cpuPros: Nice looking, cools well. Cons: -You cannot remove the fan to get access to clean the lint out of the fins. Other Thoughts: -Requires 4 tiny translucent shoulder grommets. They don't include any spares, so if you lose one (very easy), you won't bea able to install. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Seems to be very efficient. Not a bad price. Does the job, and does it well. Cons: It's fins are very frail, you can easily bend them out of shape. Other Thoughts: I didn't knock off for the frailty of the design, as you can look at it and use a little since...It is a weak design as it does not have the framework others have. However, the picture is there so you know what you are getting. But the design itself is neat, different, and efficient. I love it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great heatsink - some hardware issuesPros: Quiet. Great cooling. My Sandy Bridge i5 was running 155F with the stock cooler, tried reinstalling the stock cooler a couple times and just could not get decent performance. Maybe it was defective. With the CNPS9500 my temps are 95F. I also have this cooler on an Ivy Bridge i7 and am very happy with it. Cons: I had issues with my 2nd installation... the screws that hold the metal pressure band to the black plastic bracket would not engage the captive nuts in the bottom of the plastic bracket. After several frustrating attempts, I looked at the screws and they seemed a little malformed (tapered at the end of the screw). Zalman inIcudes four screws, only two are needed to hold the pressure bar. All four were bad, but I still had two screws from my original CNPS9500 installation, and those screws had full threads all the way to the end of the screw. Tried reinstalling with these and it worked beautifully. I'm deducting one egg because they sent cheap/bad screws in my second purchase. Other Thoughts: About a 95% approval rating here (4-5 egg reviews)... top notch. This isn't a difficult cooler to clean - the radial fins can be vacuumed or wiped fairly easily. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Best Coolers on the MarketPros: Easy to install, quietest fans I have every used, fantastic Cooling and they look great.. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Copper RosePros: Performance: dropped CPU temp at load by ~10c at load. Cons: none Other Thoughts: a novice will be intimidated by the fins(blades), i had an injury free installation every time, wore surgical gloves (always do). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
great coolerPros: All copper. Great cooler! I got a great deal on it with a rebate and I'm holding on to it for my new next build. In my current build I have an Arctic Cooler which works good but doesn't get my system quite as cool as I'd like so I'm hoping the Zalman will. Cons: It's huge, so I hope it fits with out any hang ups. Did you find this review helpful? |
7 years laterPros: quiet, looks cool, keeps CPU very cool and has lasted for seven years. Copper works great for heat transfer. Cons: not for small cases, but you can try. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Did well with the Yorkfield (QX9650) it was tasked with cooling. Cons: Doesn't keep up with cooling multiple-core CPUs like contemporary tower coolers do. Did you find this review helpful? |
Sexy, Silent Blower :-)Pros: OK EVERYONE ..put their hands together for the "CNPS9500 AT", This unit keeps the air flowing and the cpu cooled, I have only had it in for just under a week so i cannot put longevity experience in this but here's the FACTS. ON an avg. im staying from 8 - 12 degrees cooler than i was stock, The all copper build mixed with a proportionate/Airy design make for a silent assassin. If you are a pesky little overclocked heat Noid, you might just consider getting in the unemployment line while there still is one. All joking aside, this cpu cooler does its job like a PRO for a price that makes you consider buying extras as gifts for even your most annoying competitive know it all friends. They're look of confusion alone is worth the 23.99 after rebate price tag. This unit makes sense to such a large number of users, you really cant go wrong. I would have given this a complete 5 eggs because once mounted it really does earn all 5.With that being said lets move on to the only "CON" i recognized. Cons: Mounting ... was a little awkward. She really needs a 4 legged approach. The 2 point strap on feels a bit skimpy and the angle you need to fasten the screws properly puts damaging the board and the cooling fins dangerously within one slip and Newegg gets another bull frit RMA stating "DuH wooops another DOA" ... Which just shouldnt be a factor when everything else about this unit is is truly awesome. So until Zalman amends the mount to a simple 4 point lock down, take your time and ask for spot when tightening down the strap like mount . So i must say to be cautious when fastening down the strap clamp on the install and one should not be discourage from owning this sexy little gem. Other Thoughts: Overall this is an excellent buy, at its current pricing -$33.00 + 10 rebate. If your hesitant to go water because leaks just go against your PC religion. This has proven to be a stellar option! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Matt Damon told EMPIRE MAGAZINE [1] that the next Bourne film will probably be a prequel under a different team.
Since director Paul Greengrass dropped out of plans to shoot another film for summer 2011, Universal appears to be looking into the possibility of keeping the franchise going by getting another director and actor to make a prequel.
Following that, the hope would be that Greengrass and Damon could reteam for another film in the succesful franchise. Damon also said it could be another five years before a script materializes and that happens though.

Scene 1
From MVP057 "Up For Grabs"
A morning hard-on wakes Jason Branch while Mitchell Stevens showers on the patio. Jason strokes his massive dick, and before long these beefy men are sucking and fucking. Jason shoves his nightstick deep into Mitchell and makes him whimper, then flips him over and fucks his tight ass. They're soon jerking their cocks, and moaning loudly as they cover one another in hot cum.
Scene 2
From JVP093 "Serviced"
Marcus Iron & Jason Branch. Marcus catches Jason playing with himself. He steers himself directly onto Jason's crotch and gobbles the man's dipstick with gusto. Then Jason attacks Marcus' chassis with his tongue, greases up his asscrack with saliva, and slides his cock in. Both men stroke themselves to orgasm.
Scene 3

Jason Branch and Jake Andrews start out with some sucking, taking advantage of Jake's thick cock. Scott Matthews joins in for a threesome, with all three bottoming for some hot fucking, ending with great cumshots.
Scene 4
From JVP094 "Phoenix Rising"
Jason Branch and Kyle Becker roll around in bed as Jason teases Kyle's huge cock through a pair of sexy orange shorts. "Do you want me to suck that?" Jason asks before he slurps down on Kyle's tool. Next, Kyle sucks Jason's perky nipples while Jason plays with Kyle's copious precum. Kyle briefly sucks Jason before Jason gets his tongue deep inside Kyle. Klye rides Jason's cock before the two demonstrate their versatility by flipping positions a couple of times before shooting huge wads.
Scene 5
From JVP099 "Convictions, Part 1"
Jason Branch recognizes a great pig bottom in Joe Serrano and starts fucking his face. Joe eagerly swallows Jason's thick rod, massaging it with his tongue. Jason likes this boy and starts to suck on his sizeable cock...he fingers Joe's twitching hole then fucks him hard. Joe lays back, nestled in the sling, releaxed and anxious as Jason treats his boy to a session of deep ass plunging-from his own cock and a 10-inch dildo-sending Joe soaring into ecstasy. Satisfied and eager to please, Joe rims Jason's hole as Jason works out his own load.
Scene 6
From MVP062 "Aim To Please"
Jason Branch, Eric Leneau, and Jon Galt set their goals on an intense session of fucking, sucking, and load-blowing manplay that will send you into a satisfying lusty fever.
Scene 7
From JVP106 "Big As They Come III"
Falcon Exclusive Johnny Brosnan will no doubt become a repeat customer after receiving some excellent service from muscled mechanics Jason Branch and Chad Johnson. Together these powerhouses mutually test and fine tune their respective fuel-injections systems until all three motors purr with a satisfied idle!

Longboat Key residents and visitors of all faiths attended the 29th annual Longboat Key Community Interfaith Thanksgiving Service to give thanks for their blessings. Host church for the Nov. 24 service was St. Mary, Star of the Sea, Catholic Church.
Welcoming attendees was the Rev. Gerry Finegan, of St. Mary's, who expressed pleasure in so many joining together and sharing.
In his message, keynote speaker Rabbi Jonathan Katz said, "Thanksgiving is the one day we speak with one voice and with a common sense of gratitude. But it must be for more than one day."
He urged that all take time every day to express thanks for their many blessings, including "living on this beautiful island."
Other clergy taking part were the Rev. Dan Maiden, the Rev. Ken Gill and MiMi Hurwitz, of the Longboat Island Chapel; the Rev. Bruce Porter, of Christ Church of Longboat Key, Presbyterian; the Rev. Mark Bernthal, of St. Armands Key Lutheran Church; and the Rev. David Danner, of All Angels by the Sea Episcopal Church.
The interfaith choir was composed of members of all participating churches and their music directors.
The keynote speaker traditionally designates which organization will benefit from the service collection, and this year it was The Salvation Army.
After the service, the St. Mary, Star of the Sea, Women's Guild served refreshments. Jean Stapleton and Kimmy Hartigan served as chairwomen.

Destination: Tucson, Arizona
Event: Tucson Festival of Books, 2011
[See more photos on my Facebook page]
The Tucson Festival of Books has grown rapidly in its three years. Organizers say there were 100,000 people there in March 2011, and I think that is true.
People of all ages cluster around tables piled with books. Colorful paper parasols bloom as people shelter from the sun. Wearing my green volunteer shirt sporting a big black tarantula, I attract questions–"Where is Elmore Leonard?" "Where are they selling caramel corn?" Follow your nose–the aroma of roasting corn and caramel corn from the center of the mall–the Festival's stomach.
There is so much to see and do that it has taken me a week to get my thoughts together and give you a mini-slice of the Festival–the parts that I personally experienced. My choices this year were guided by two questions–what could I add to my travel library? and what could I add to my knowledge of American Indians and the literature about them?
After making my way past the storybook characters in front of the University Book Store, I attended a panel of authors discussing mystery movels featuring modern day American Indians as protagonists.
Craig Johnson (Wyoming-Crow and Cheyenne), Sara Sue Hoklotubbe (Oklahoma-Cherokee), Margaret Coel (Colorado/Wyoming-Arapaho) and Thomas Perry(New York State-Iroquois and Seneca)
The writers discussed how to transmit culture that is not your own, since only one of the panelists is an American Indian. (They agreed that American Indian is their preferred term over the P.C. Native American.) Craig Johnson remarked, "How do you NOT put Indians in when you write a Western novel? They are such an important part of America." I talk more about this panel over at the Quincy Tahoma Blog. (Article coming next Monday–sorry if you have been looking for it.)
Next I listened to two women who chucked the every day grind to follow very different paths. Lisa Napoli left a job at National Public Radio to help start the first radio station in Bhutan. In Radio Bhutan (February 2011), she talks about The Happiest Kingdom, and her adjustments to life in a strange place. It all started when she met a cute guy at a party.
Polly Letofsky went even further. Obsessed since she was a child with the idea of walking around the world, she set off to walk around the world, raising money for breast cancer research. Her book, 3 MPH, follows the 5 years during which she covered 14,000 miles and touched on four continents.Polly's lively presentation had me howling with laughter.
I was fortunate to be the driver for Martin Cruz Smith, the author of a series of mysteries set in Russia –and some other ones in foreign places like New York City and Cuba. He is best known for the Arkady Renko series that started with Gorky Park. (Saying goodbye to Smith on Sunday was like the melancholy of closing a good book.) An outdoor tent housed his panel with Jennifer Carrell, Cara Blackand Josh Bazell.
The subject of their panel was Place as Character--a concept readers of A Traveler's Library are familiar with. Jennifer Lee Carrell said in research for her mystery built around Shakespeare's Macbeth, she found that "places have produced character." Cara Black says that Paris is "an exacting muse" and she writes about "the darker side of the City of Light." I thought that Josh Bazell made the most important comment. He says he wants to find "the things I was not expecting. It is not memorable if it is what you expect." In other words, finding the details that go beyond cliché.
Finally, I went to hear a friend, Carolyn O'Bagy Davis talk about her book, Hopi Summer, which has been chosen as the book that all Arizona will be reading and discussing this year in One Book Arizona. Carolyn showed slides documenting the 1920′s visit of an Eastern family to the Hopi reservation. The remaining family members gave her copies of journals and diaries and photos and she took them to the Hopi reservation and talked to descendants of the people in the pictures. What a great book for the traveler's library, if you are going to the Southwest.
In fact, all these authors definitely expanded my to-be-read file of books that inspire travel. [If you are considering buying one, please check the Amazon carousel above that features just these authors. Convenient for you. A few cents for me.]

i want to no about austria more!
I have been to the Texas Book Festival several times — it is held on the grounds of the state captiol in Austin, and not surprisingly there is a bit of music involved as well as books. I've not been to the Virginia Festival of the Book, but a friend of mine who lives in Virginia presented there one year and very much enjoyed it.
The Tucson event sounds like a winner — will you be back next year — presenting about your book, perhaps?
Kerry Dexter would like you to read..music and landscape- Ireland -
I would have love to attend this! Being a U of A alum, I naturally have the fondest feelings for Tucson, the U of A…not to mention books!

• Consider installing a layer of glass or plexiglass over the wallpaper to protect the surface from grease and other splashes. Check out this post for one example of the process from an Apartment Therapy house tour (fifth photo above).
• Certain wallpapers are designed with water-resistance in mind and can be used instead of tile. This "splash-proof" wallpaper from Graham and Brown comes in several cheerful patterns. Temporary vinyl wallpapers are also a great choice for renters who want a quick but lease-friendly kitchen update.
• Postcards, drawings, and other patterns of your own designs or from your own collection can easily be hung behind a sheet of plexiglass for a backsplash too. This post highlights some fun ideas.
• For an easy DIY tutorial, check out these instructions on HGTV's website.
Has anyone tried the wallpaper backsplash? How has it worked out?

This hour just over a week until the nearly 85 billion dollars an automatic spending cuts case -- but our next guest says.
And let it happen.
Joining us now is John -- chief economist.
-- RDQ economic John good to see you first is really only if you look at this year about 44 million dollars not even that much that's correct -- One of the problem with spending cuts is there announced cuts in budgetary authority and some of that may be for future years may never be intending to spend.
The actual cuts and -- cuts from a growing -- -- he's 45.
Billion dollars this year.
And we got a fifteen point eight trillion dollar economy is gonna put him in perspective each one quarter percent and decides what overall economy.
Did these need to happen though as kind of a baseline -- a beginning.
A future spending cuts that if.
We let these happened and realized that they are hard on the economy then then that could open the door for something more serious well I think some but he also need to happen with the basic credibility -- I hate this concept to you about about banking spending cuts.
Because spending cuts are counted over ten years and haven't yet happen.
Not -- clumsy cuts -- -- would be certainly nice to have them replaced by more targeted cuts.
But -- better attach we have some cuts really in the bank that is to say taking place as opposed to.
Cuts or protect them to be an analogy it's like -- I'm going to go on a diet.
But I'm gonna lead to the big dessert right now and -- be paid for by the collars on many take out my diet next year we know what happens that.
I hate the calories now and they never get around to diets in late to rise and we get fat and in terms of credibility.
Do you believe that the markets and investors -- still willing to lend money to the US and -- debt that they need to see movement.
In order to feel secure about.
Not just buying that -- debt is continuing to own it at this point.
-- to be satisfied that we will try and least begin to right ourselves financially well I don't we have a debt crisis at.
This point in time but the problem is.
Then the real things we need to address the things that drives the -- up.
Five years down the road -- of the budget dynamics right now if we have some spending cuts -- too bad the economy is improving.
Deficit may well fall a little bit over the next.
Two -- three years but then we have the longer term problems that Social Security Medicare and the other health related programs so credible cuts for the market.
Would address the growth in those spending programs not something that the sequestered to speak to.
And it's something that the president who I think is demonizing these spending cuts to get.
Revenue increases on the technical tax well tax hikes.
And I think that that's the reason we're we're hearing these played out in in my opinion.
They're not such a big deal but being nice to have the -- -- after -- the federal budgets three and a half trillion -- -- we're talking a very.
Very small piece of the federal budget here China's trade same thank amazing insight as always to welcome back anytime I'm asking you -- sir John -- -- well.

You don't do any marketing right now here right now doing beauty products what is the road ahead look like basically we know that customers love our products so.
We're going to be dreaming a little -- -- -- running at a bigger all.
And which could include definitely marketing and also.
You know what else -- for Xbox the I think that's a question that we all have we didn't mean it beauty box and we wanna task at -- idea as to see.

Listing of lizard may shut down Texas oil
You can't make this up. First, a Spotted Owl destroyed the timber industry of the Pacific Northwest, then a minnow turned the most productive agricultural land in the world into a dustbowl, and now, as energy prices spike and the economy sputters, they're going after Texas with a scurrilous reptile. Specifically, the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard. That's the latest more-important-than-people critter being used to lock-up resources | Read More »

Last week, Syngenta filed a legal challenge against the European Union's decision to suspend use of its pesticide, thiamethoxam. At the heart of the challenge? Syngenta says their product is wrongly accused of contributing to bee declines.
But the independent science detailing harm to bees from this and other pesticides is clear. And earlier this year, after reviewing the evidence for themselves, European policymakers determined that three widely used neonicotinoids — including thiamethoxam — pose a "high acute risk" to honey bees. Still, the pesticide corporation is protesting. Vehemently.
Over last week's Thanksgiving holiday, many Americans will have paused to savor the blessings of health, family and community. Some of us will have binged on too much turkey and consumption-crazed Black Friday sales. But for the world's biggest pesticide and seed biotech companies, the entire year has been one long feeding frenzy. This frenzy culminated in recent months in a multi-billion dollar spending spree in which, reports Bloomberg, three of the "Big 6" pesticide companies (Syngenta, Bayer and BASF) together shelled out over two billion dollars to acquire biopesticide and other "green product" companies.
Concerns over corporate "greenwashing" notwithstanding, the larger issue here is a new frontier of market-making and corporate consolidation from the people who brought us "DDT is good for me" commercials.
All too often, the rules of pesticide regulation are cumbersome and make for slow change. But EPA had an opportunity to take swift, decisive action to protect bees — and they let it pass.
Today, the agency announced it is denying the request by beekeepers to declare Bayer's pesticide, clothianidin, an "imminent hazard" to bees and will not be suspending the chemical's use.
This week PAN released Honey Bees and Pesticides: State of the Science, a 22-page report on the factors behind colony collapse disorder (CCD) with a sustained focus on the particular role of pesticides.
With little fanfare, pesticide manufacturer Bayer has asked California regulators to limit the use of one of their most profitable products, imidacloprid.
Rather than undergo the public scrutiny and cost involved in a state-mandated re-evaluation of the pesticide's impact on bees, emerging reports say the company has requested imidacloprid be restricted from use on almond crops, which honey bees are trucked in from around the country to pollinate each February.

When it comes to international cricket, few things matter more to a player than the first Test in front of your home fans.
When West Indies batsman Darren Bravo emerges from the pavilion that bears his cousin Brian Lara's name against Australia in Port of Spain on Sunday, it will be no different for the 23-year-old left-hander.
Throughout his career Bravo - an elegant left-hander just like Lara - has had to deal with comparisons to his cousin, who was crowned the "Prince of Trinidad" during his legendary 131-Test career.
Bravo told media in the build-up to the second Test he was feeling confident he could deliver something "special" in the match and he'd been talking with Lara for some advice and tips.
And if his captain Darren Sammy was worried about whether his young charge would crumble under the weight of expectation he was hardly showing it.
"I think he'll relish the opportunity to play at home in front of his home crowd," Sammy said.
"He says he's feeling really good and feels there is something special to come, hopefully he goes out and does something special for us."
In 14 Tests so far Bravo has hit three hundreds and averages 51.58, a promising start that has all of Trinidad expectant they've found a new prince from the same bloodlines as Lara.
And one man whose been impressed so far is Australia captain Michael Clarke, who himself counts Lara as a good friend and someone he always is keen to catch up with while in the Caribbean.
Clarke says the fact Bravo is seeking out his famous cousin for advice was a good sign and can only go to improve his results.
"There's some similarities in the way he plays," Clarke said.
"He's a wonderful young talent, had some success in Test cricket, and I'm sure he's going to have a bright future.
"I know he's close to Brian and, to me as a batsman, the more information you can get off great players like Brian the more it can help you."
