Pakistan: Update of MSF's Response to the FloodsSeptember 23, 2010Pakistan 2010 © Mai Tang / MSF A snapshot of MSF's Emergency Flood Response between September 10 and September 17: Sindh Province Hospital SupportSukkur: A 30-bed capacity Intensive Therapeutic Feeding Center (ITFC) has been established at the Railway Hospital to treat patients suffering from severe acute malnutrition with medical complications. Staff members at the facility are preparing to treat cases of Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) and there are plans to support a 30-bed capacity Diarrhea Treatment Center (DTC) in the coming days working alongside the Pakistani Ministry of Health. Jamshoro: Teams have set up a DTC ready to treat AWD, as well as Oral Rehydration Points (ORPs) to offer treatment for dehydrated patients. Mobile ClinicsSukkur: An MSF team continues to conduct mobile clinic consultations and assessments in various camps for the displaced in and around the town of Sukkur. The MSF team in Sukkur has also set up 20 ORPs where health promoters and nurses can rehydrate patients suffering from Diarrhea, assess their condition, and refer them to the DTC if required. These teams are providing hygiene education services to community members and also distributing soap among the displaced people in camps. The team continues to screen children for malnutrition and provide ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) on an outpatient basis to moderately malnourished children who present minimal or no medical complications. In Sukkur, a total of 232 severely malnourished children have been treated and 42 referred to the ITFC, while 552 consultations were conducted during mobile clinic activities. Jamshoro: MSF teams working in the New Labour camp, Sehwan, Amri, and Manzoorabad have conducted a total of 1,754 consultations so far. This includes nutritional assessments through Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) screenings of all children under the age of five and distributions of high-energy biscuits to pregnant and lactating women. A total of 2,589 consultations have been conducted through MSF's mobile clinics in Jamshoro and Sukkur (including consultations at the Sukkur ITFC). Water DistributionsSukkur: 40,000 liters of clean drinking water is being provided daily through water trucks, tanks, and bladders. An MSF-run water treatment unit in the town has the capacity to produce 80,000 liters of safe water each day. Jamshoro: Every day 10,000 people have access to 240,000 liters of chlorinated water provided by the MSF team, while the capacity will increase in the coming days in order to support more people arriving. ORPs are also being set up at the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Science. Relief KitsMSF teams have distributed 1,532 relief item kits and 668 tents in Jamshoro and Sukkur since the beginning of the emergency. Jamshoro: A total 464 families in the New Labour IDP camp received relief item kits. Sukkur: 668 tents have been distributed to affected families who were without shelter and 1,068 families have received relief kits. Next StepsLarkana (south of Sukkur): MSF will open a 22-bed capacity DTC and 14-bed ITFC in the coming days to cater for people previously without assistance. Sukkur: MSF is aiming to increase the amount of water distributed to at least 80,000 liters per day through the water treatment unit. Relief item distributions will also be ramped up to cover temporary settlements in schools, a vital activity because people sheltering there will soon have to move on before schools re-open later this month. Jamshoro: While health promotion activities are set to continue the teams will distribute at least 2,000 tents and 2,000 relief item kits. As operations expand, the amount of water distributed will increase to more than 250,000 liters per day. Assessments of general hygiene, water and sanitation conditions in the north of Jamshoro will continue and the project team is considering opening a DTC, should the need arise. MSF teams will continue cleaning and disinfecting services in buildings where flood-displaced people seek shelter, while the installation of hand-washing points and soap distributions will continue. Punjab Hospital SupportMSF supports one hospital in the Muzaffargarh district with the following activities: Kot Addu: MSF operates a 70-bed capacity DTC, water and sanitation services and medical teams treat, on average, more than 150 patients per day with about 40 patients hospitalized per day. Medical teams have treated a total of 2,039 patients since 21 August 2010. Patients are provided with relief item kits when they are discharged. In the second week of September, MSF opened an outpatient department in Sheikh Mukhtar, treating on average about 50 patients per day. In addition to setting up ORPs in Ehsan Pur and next to Deira Din Panah, MSF distributed 200 relief item kits to affected families and the team plans to further assess the needs for more ORPs. Next StepsThe team plans to distribute relief item kits and tents to 5,000 families who have not received any assistance and to ensure access to safe water for people in the most affected villages in and around Kot Addu. Medical teams will start nutritional assessment in and around Kot Addu to better understand the current malnutrition situation and to launch an immediate intervention, if needed. BalochistanMSF is conducting emergency activities for the affected population in and around Dera Murad Jamali. Hospital Support & Mobile ClinicsMSF supports one hospital and runs mobile clinics and activities in several areas: Teams working in Dera Allah Aye, Qabular, Jafarabad, Nasirabad, Patfeeder Canal, the Dera Murad Jamali town area, and Mir Hassan are treating people suffering from malnutrition and severe malnutrition. The teams also operate a DTC and mother and child healthcare services. MSF has thus far treated 1,219 patients through its DTC, averaging 58 patients per day. The majority of patients are children under five, many of whom suffer from severe dehydration. MSF has set up 4 ORS corners and has recruited 30 health educators. MSF has set up a 16-bed capacity IPD to manage severe and acute patients. So far the team has treated 31 patients including severe acute malnutrition patients who required stabilization. MSF is providing obstetric emergency care for IDPs and the general population of Dera Murad Jamali. Since the start of the floods MSF has done 97 baby deliveries with complications, of which 16 required surgical interventions (Caesarean sections). MSF has enrolled 1,000 children who are severely malnourished, in therapeutic feeding treatment. MSF has halted medical mobile clinic activities as other organizations have started to take on this task as well. MSF teams are now focusing on running a nutrition program. This has included a recent rapid nutritional assessment (through MUAC screening) in five camps, the results of which indicated high levels of malnutrition (Severe Acute Malnutrition at 10 percent and Global Acute Malnutrition at 34.3 percent). The malnutrition situation is expected to worsen since IDPs are now starting to move back to where their homes once were, where they are likely to face dire conditions as the services that were provided in the camps may no longer be readily available to them. On the whole MSF teams have provided more than 8,000 consultations through MSF mobile clinics focusing on nutrition, DTC, MCH and IPD/ITFC. Relief KitsMSF conducted relief item kits and tent distributions in the following places: Dera Murad Jamali Town, Quetta Road, Bakhtribad, Patfeeder Canal, Qabula, Manjoshori, Tambu, Sohbatpur road, and Mir Hassan. So far, MSF has distributed 6,022 relief item kits and 342 tents to flood-affected displaced people. Water DistributionsMSF provides access to safe water in Nasirabad: MSF has started to distribute 74,000 liters of safe water per day and a total of 450,000 liters of water is chlorinated daily. MSF water and sanitation teams are cleaning some 700,000 liters of water through flocculation and they are planning to expand capacity to reach 2 million liters. MSF is setting up 150 hand-washing points and has so far completed 30 points. MSF has built 330 latrines in 3 camps and plans to build at least 650 latrines in total. These latrines will be maintained by MSF to ensure proper use and sanitation. MSF water and sanitation teams have constructed 70 showers and are planning another 300 showers in other IDP camps in order to improve hygiene conditions and reduce skin diseases. This will benefit approximately 10,000 people living in camps. Health CareMSF plans to provide access to high quality health care: MSF will continue running the DTC, while planning to increase ORS points for displaced people. MCH teams will continue managing complicated deliveries and postal care. MSF will continue managing severe acute medical conditions in the IPD, while there are also plans to continue with therapeutic nutrition programs. Next StepsTeams working in Dera Murad Jamali and surrounding areas will increase access to health care services while the water distribution will increase in scale. There are also plans to increase the number of tents distributed while more latrines are being constructed. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa MSF teams working in Peshawar, Nowshera, Charsadda, Swat, Malakand, Lower Dir, and Hangu districts are winding down activities directly related to the emergency, although they remain vigilant and prepared in case of epidemic outbreaks. Affected communities are slowly starting to rebuild their lives. Hospital SupportMSF supports 4 hospitals with the following activities:
Mobile ClinicsMSF teams still conduct 7 mobile clinic activities in order to reach people in the following locations:
Water DistributionsMSF also provides safe water distributions in the following places:
Relief KitsMSF has distributed a total of 25,163 relief item kits and 9,534 tents to flood-affected people in the following areas:
Next Steps
With the number of patients who need Diarrhea treatment decreasing significantly in recent weeks, MSF teams in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will gradually reduce the number of DTCs and mobile clinic activities. Tags: Pakistan, Natural Disaster |

Fifteen years ago last Thursday, American iconoclast Frank Zappa died at age 52; on December 21, he would have been 68. He left an impressive body of musical work, both on his commercial recordings and on various unreleased media, enough material to keep several people employed for years to come in preserving his legacy. His son Dweezil is currently in the middle of a three-night stand at the Roxy, which runs through Saturday, December 13. The younger Zappa and his band perform as Zappa Plays Zappa, and the stint commemorates the 35th anniversary of Dweezil's father's own recorded performances at the venue. And Frank's widow, Gail, administers the Zappa Family Trust.
Despite the family's heroic efforts to preserve his memory, Frank Zappa remains an enigma. That's partly due to his having assumed so many roles: of composer working in the neoclassical and post-Webern traditions and seeking acceptance in that anoxic world; of rock songwriter-guitarist rising within the catalytic stew of the mid- to late-'60s; of record producer wielding a razorblade on two-track edits; of Swiftian chronicler of Southern California life.
There are simply so many Frank Zappas that his true identity remains elusive. But if there is a musical locus to the soul of Frank Zappa, an upcoming release (date to be determined) might be Ground Zero. Fans will soon rejoice in the special 40th-anniversary three-CD reissue of two of his most important works: Lumpy Gravy and We're Only In It for the Money. The reissue's title? Lumpy Money.
The history of the first two of those albums is convoluted, and concerns much of 1967 and 1968 in Los Angeles and New York City. Gravy and Money are inextricably linked in their conception, which is one reason the merged reissue makes sense as a package.
Unlike the majority of Frank Zappa recordings that currently appear on the Rykodisc label, Lumpy Money will receive the Zappa Records imprimatur. Joe Travers, the "vaultmeister," who oversees the massive Zappa tape collection, explains: "Since Ryko distributes the approved masterworks of those two records, we are left with lots of yummy things." Ryko, he explains, can only release the official, Zappa-approved versions of his LPs. But that leaves a vast archive of previously unreleased material from which the estate can dig.
Gail stresses that her first obligation in releasing archival material is to Frank's vision. "If we're going to reintroduce something, it has to be the iteration that Frank produced." Once those recordings are available, however, the estate looks for complimentary unreleased recordings. Explains Gail: "What do we have that's in the vault that people would like to hear that's related to that project?"
Lumpy Gravy was originally to have been released on Capitol Records as a solo Frank Zappa project, freeing him from the strictures of the Mothers of Invention (who recorded for the Verve Records division of MGM). Nik Venet produced. Venet, says Gail, "was farsighted in those days as a producer to create an opportunity." The result was roughly 22 orchestral minutes.
Travers continues, "The Capitol version of Gravy got as far as an acetate — a finished, cut four-track sequenced master — and then MGM/Verve stepped in. They said, 'What the fuck are you doing? You're signed to us. You can't do this.'" What followed, explains Travers, was a protracted 11-month battle between Verve and Capitol, which Verve eventually won. As a result, Gravy came out after Money. "By the time that happened," adds Travers, "Frank completely changed the initial project [from] where it was in the Capitol days 11 months later, to the masterwork that it is now."
This might explain why the released version of Lumpy Gravy sounds like the wizard let loose in his workshop. The central orchestral tracks — "Oh No," "King Kong" and "I Don't Know if I Can Go Through This Again" — are bridged with surreal monologues and goofy dialogues set inside a giant piano (reused many years later in Civilization Phaze III, and a good example of how Zappa never regards something as finished but as always usable material).
Zappa knew he had a good thing going with "Oh No" and had it reprised on the album ("Oh No" was later reworked as a song with lyrics on 1970's Weasels Ripped My Flesh). It contained fundamental Zappa motifs: rapid musical triplet figures, Zappa's enduring love of vibes and marimbas, and a lilting melody. To counterbalance that melodicism, the percussive, aleatoric influence of composer Edgard Varèse is heard elsewhere on the album.
"Money and Gravy are really hand in hand," explains Gail. "Because he was continuing to work on Lumpy Gravy while they were having this whole battle [between Verve and Capitol], I think that [battle] became the inspiration for Money.
But the evolution of released versions of Money, Zappa's first outing as a producer, is controversial. In 1984, he did a remix of Money, which included overdubbing new bass and drum parts. To many fans, this was sacrilege.

CHARLOTTE-- The woman wanted on assault charges is in custody Monday morning after officials say she poured a pot of hot grease on a crowd of people Sunday. Regina Terry, 33, was arrested in Richmond County and faces charges after seven people were hurt, and six of those victims, including a 1-year-old child, were rushed to the Burn Center in Chapel Hill. Witnesses describe the injuries as being serious.
Tara McLean, a resident in an apartment complex nearby, said her next door neighbor started an argument that quickly escalated.
McLean says there were over 20 people standing outside of the two apartments,and her 42-year-old mother was trying to calm everyone down.
According to McLean, that's when her neighbor went inside and returned with a pot of hot grease. She says her neighbor then threw the pot of grease in the faces of McLean's mother, 6-year-old son, 27-year-old sister, as well as her three children, ages 8, 10, and 1.
Six of the victims were taken to the hospital, and McLean says the burns are severe. "The youngest was a 1-year-old, whole forehead falling off. My mother had nothing to do with this. She was trying to calm it down," McLean said.
Terry was transported to the Mecklenburg County Jail. She faces six counts of assault with a deadly weapon, inflicting serious injury and seven counts of malicious maiming. Terry will make her first appearance in court Tuesday.

text: Are there any ways I can reward some of my employees tax efficiently, especially those employees who bring new ideas to the business. Answer. It is often said that your staff are your most valuable assets, and indeed your long-serving employees may know as much about your business as you do. So why not take advantage of that knowledge, and some tax breaks, to improve your profits? If you set up a suggestion scheme for your staff you can offer tax-free encouragement rewards of £25 for every good idea, and give up to £5,000 tax-free for each brainwave that generates a real financial benefit for the business. There is a limitation that one employee cannot receive more than £5,000 in reward for one suggestion, although a reward may be split between a number of employees if they jointly contribute to an idea. To pay over £25 tax-free the idea must be implemented and the reward must be linked to the expected financial benefit. The total amount of the reward must not exceed 50% of the expected net financial benefit during the first year of implementation, or on the same basis 10% over five years. For example, suppose a member of your team suggests an idea for a new product combination and to reward that employee for the idea, and to encourage similar ideas, you decide to award him or her £4,000 under the conditions stated above. In this case, the cost to the employer is £4,000 and the net received by the employee is £4,000. If however you rewarded the same employee with a normal bonus, then depending on the employee's tax code, the cost of paying £4,000 net of tax, including NICs, could be as much as £8,000. You are not required to register the suggestion scheme with HM Revenue & Customs or inform the tax authorities when you make a reward. However, you should keep a record of how you calculated each reward and draw up some rules for the suggestion scheme as it applies in your business. The basic rules of your suggestion scheme can be very simple, but the scheme must be open to all your employees on equal terms and not restricted to a select group, such as the directors or managers. The suggestions must be of a nature that is outside of employees' normal duties and area of responsibility. So if you employ an 'ideas man' to research potential new products for your company, when he comes up with a new product line, that idea cannot be rewarded tax-free from the suggestion scheme, as product development is part of his job. Another general rule is that the suggestions must not be made at a meeting that is held for the purpose of generating ideas, such as a brain-storming lunch. So the best policy might simply be to leave a well marked suggestion box in the staff room, with a copy of the suggestion scheme rules pinned to the notice-board. |

'Gossip Girl' recap: 'Monstrous Ball'
The latest episode marks the halfway point of the final season, yet were still as confused as ever.
Image 1 of 7
Not to be outdone by the infamous Rufus-waffles, Serena tries her hand at cooking and makes breakfast for Steven and Sage. But for once Steven is only slightly over-romantic instead of completely over the top, causing Serena to become suspicious (for the record, he insists it's not the pancakes). Serena visits Nate for advice, and he tells her that all of his ex-girlfriends would have just gone through his phone already ... obviously, he's the right person to turn to for relationship advice. Serena heads back to Steven's apartment to snoop through his things, but instead she finds an engagement ring in his computer bag that's probably worth more than ten of his laptops. Serena understandably starts jumping up and down, but she doesn't manage to compose herself before Sage realizes what she must be so excited about.

Get rolling we were very concerned doctors about this when we heard that West Nile Virus was back to deadly disease it's carried by mosquitoes.
And the Centers for Disease Control say it's spreading faster -- in any other year.
Dozens of states already affected including Texas they've declared a state of emergency nearly 400 cases reported there.
More than two dozen people have died from it.
Doctor Siegel how concerned should the rest of us -- Well I've written about this in my book false alarm and I take -- for certain position on this I think that this is what I call -- health scare.
We have close to a thousand cases this year but you got to remember something how many cases of -- we have every year we have almost a half a million in the United States was over 30000 people -- People out there get -- worried about west Nile you know what ends up happening.
West Nile Virus by the way is spread by something called the Q Lex mosquito the southern house mosquito.
You know that less than 1% of the QX mosquitoes and areas where west Nile are actually.
Have this and I put west Nile and then if you get bit by -- to get out west -- I wanna add to begin at west Nile and even get the disease.
80% of the time you don't even get sick 20% of the time you get -- mild flu symptom 1% of cases get really sick.
Call me overprotective.
But -- dozens of people die.
There are people out there that want to protect themselves and the thing -- worried about right now is they are springing for -- -- and they haven't done that some.
The sixties I wanna talk about because fear to pick is the biggest pathogens here fear is worse than west Nile but the problem is -- can hit you if you're healthy you can hit you you're young and I'm very concerned about anyone that stars Jamie appoint his right.
But the spraying has to hit the larvae it's gotta hit the -- And what public health departments do is they go around spraying what's called adult decide they killed the adult mosquitoes.
You know what happens they grow right back.
They come right back there's no scientific evidence that spring adult mosquitoes actually gets rid of the virus and it has something called.
Which can be a carcinogen and people without asthma.
Can get their -- -- and triggered by and so nothing in Madison is free when you do something what is the consequences I'm against this widespread -- Pleased to say here that every medicine has a little poison in it but.
In the past people have had a problem with this staying indoors makes sense I'm sure you know they're spraying anything else -- a lot of people should do.
-- -- I think -- what we need to know about this is that this is a virus that's not well known to America.
It showed up in New York City about 1999.
You JFK and we still don't know how -- got here.
If you look at the history -- and I'm mark knows about this.
It -- in the last decade the numbers have been going off and it's on the rise and there's obviously some concern the question is.
Who should worry about this and there are six states -- is at the center of this Oklahoma South Dakota California etc.
so not everyone has to panic about this.
80% of the people they get this virus are asymptomatic and are perfectly fine.
Twenty person to have flu like symptoms headache nausea rash pain etc.
just like flew in about one out of a 150.
Are the ones that would get some sort of -- -- meningitis.
And stiff neck and you've got to go to the emergency room immediately and not now.
How do we protect -- -- which is a question you're asking.
Make sure that you get these phrase that has verified these you need to remember our first is something in the spring it has the EE TDs.
The second one is to dress up that's a second the cover yourself -- -- figure out what exactly is going on with -- I'm usually must -- show up in the dusk and dawn so if you don't have to be out there stay -- cover and finally drainage.
Any sitting water suing -- any drainage that can attract mosquitoes you wanna be careful about this one of the big questions that came public tour there is.
Can I did this virus from casual sexual activity or kissing or anything else.
The answer is no this is from a mosquito -- gets.
The birth and -- it to human.
While I think there's no reason to panic I think you need to protectors.
-- -- -- will be clear how -- you know if you have -- you think you have the flu and and and how bad does it get.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- This you start to feel flow like that's it I mean -- other issues like a rash or stiff neck or headache that's a sign of severe severe symptoms.
Again one out of 150 only then you go to the emergency room.
But the bottom line is we have to watch -- -- illnesses that are in mosquitoes.
This is a pretty rare we.
Was it two days to two weeks you're going to feel sick like having a flu.
And if it's not going away -- -- and -- west -- I guess when you see your doctor if you think you have Lyme Disease are and I suppose that's.

Tiffin Police are searching for a man who allegedly entered a North Washington Street residence with a gun Tuesday afternoon and demanded prescription pills.
According to reports from the Tiffin Police Department, a man reported at 3:15 p.m. someone had entered his father's house in the 100 block of North Washing Street about an hour-and-a-half earlier and robbed him at gunpoint.
Detective Shawn Vallery of Tiffin Police Department said the suspect, described as white, between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall and between 160 and 165 pounds, had walked into the unlocked residence with a gun and demanded Percocet.
"He turned them over and the guy left," Vallery said.
The resident didn't recognize the man, Vallery said, and also described him as having a scruffy beard and a receding hairline.

Crankcases get no respect Engine case halves are the Rodney Dangerfield of engine parts. Often hangar talk about engines concentrates on the cylinders, or top end, of the engine.

Aircraft owners dread engine overhauls — especially if they are premature. The thought of spending thousands of dollars for a new or overhauled engine 700 hours before the manufacturer's recommended overhaul time generally doesn't sit well with most owners.

Establishing the value of used aircraft Many first-time buyers probably envision a tricky, underhanded, cigar-chomping salesman wearing a white belt and white shoes. Luckily, most aircraft salespeople don't fit that "Crazy Eddie" car- salesman stereotype.

text: Home Politics Black Caucus Speech: What Did Obama Mean? Amid a backlash for his tone with black folks, experts analyze his strange remarks. By: Cynthia Gordy Posted: Sept. 29 2011 12:54 AM 0 Getty Images It's been four days since President Obama delivered remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Annual Phoenix Awards Dinner, just one of 10 speeches that he's given within that time. But the debate over what he said before that mostly African-American audience -- and how he chose to say it -- is still going strong. The 28-minute speech, with its overall theme of faith and perseverance through hard times, was meant to inspire the black-tie crowd, which included all 43 members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Acknowledging that black unemployment has reached 16.7 percent and that almost 40 percent of black children live in poverty, the president applauded the CBC for pushing legislation on the community's behalf. "With your help, we started fighting our way back from the brink," he said, citing child tax credits, consumer protections from mortgage lenders, expanded Pell Grants and health care reform as examples. After calling for the passage of his American Jobs Act, and criticizing Republican opponents who are determined to block him every step of the way, a worked-up Obama concluded his speech: "I expect all of you to march with me and press on. Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We've got work to do, CBC." With a tap of the podium, Obama exited stage right. Bolting to their feet at his parting words, the crowd in the Washington Convention Center ballroom erupted into thunderous applause. Well, most of the audience, anyway. The Backlash Builds On Monday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) expressed concern about the president's tone. "I don't know who he was talking to, because we're certainly not complaining," she said on CBS' The Early Show. In fact, she noted, the CBC had long been pursuing a robust jobs initiative. Waters further pointed out that the president doesn't address other key voter blocs, such as Hispanic and gay and lesbian groups, quite the same way. An irritated Courtland Milloy at the Washington Post wrote: "Funny, isn't it, how Obama always gets the nerve to say shut up when he's addressing a friendly audience?" With the president's speech repeatedly summarized as "a fiery summons" that "told blacks ... to quit crying and complaining," as an Associated Press article put it, the enthusiastic in-person response quickly gave way to displeased takes on Obama's condescending attitude toward African Americans. From the extra bass and preacher-like inflection in his voice to those provocative closing sentences, observers demanded to know: What did he mean?

In Brief
- So-called flashbulb memories actually fade considerably even though, paradoxically, they seem so vivid that we hold a misguided confidence in their fidelity.
- Emotion produces a kind of tunnel memory, boosting recall of central objects but allowing people to forget surrounding details.
- Putting a positive spin on a bad situation—a technique called cognitive reappraisal—can both enhance accuracy in emotional memories and diminish their negative overtones.

8 Ways To Forget Your Troubles
On September 11, 2001, Elizabeth A. Phelps stepped outside her apartment in lower Manhattan and noticed a man staring toward the World Trade Center, about two miles away. Looking up, "I just saw this big, burning hole," Phelps recalls. The man told her that he had just seen a large airplane crash into one of the skyscrapers. Thinking it was a horrible accident, Phelps started walking to work, a few blocks away, for a 9 a.m. telephone meeting. By the time she reached her eighth-floor office at New York University, a second jet had struck the other tower, which collapsed after an hour. Later, she saw the remaining tower fall.
Like Phelps, many Americans have searing memories of that day. In your mind's eye, you can probably relive the moment you first learned of the terrorist attacks: where you were, what you were doing, the shock or fear you experienced. Yet chances are that although they feel real and true, our memories of 9/11 are riddled with errors. "I remember all those details; I'm certain that I'm right," says Phelps, a psychologist. "But the data suggest I'm not."

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- The City Commissioners and Mayor of Amarillo doled out a few proclamations to local groups Tuesday.
One proclamation they gave to the Drug Free Community Coalition - Impact Futures. April has now been proclaimed Alcohol Awareness Month. To help educate parents, students and others, Impact Futures will host three town hall meetings on underage drinking.
"The teens are there to talk to their parents about what's really going on in schools as far as alcohol and underage drinking. We just want to raise awareness about alcoholism and underage drinking," said Impact Futures Project DIrector, LaVisa Matthews.
The first of those meetings was held Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. The second will be Tuesday, April 17 at Amarillo United Citizens Forum at 901 N. Hayden and the third the next Tuesday, April 24 at Wesley Community Center 1516 S. Roberts.

A Cumberland County jury found 22-year-old Marlon Curtis McKenzie guilty of second-degree murder Wednesday in the shooting death of Eric D. Edmonds.
Edmonds, 24, of Rockwood Drive, was shot four times - twice in the front, twice in the back - outside his home in June 2009.
Assistant District Attorney Rob Thompson said he and lead prosecutor James Baker had evidence that McKenzie and Edmonds argued in McKenzie's home on Buena Vista Drive over how Edmonds' key got onto McKenzie's key chain.
Edmonds then walked home, and 20 to 25 minutes later McKenzie drove to Edmonds' house, he said.
The men met at McKenzie's car, where McKenzie started screaming and shooting, Thompson said.
Thompson said defense lawyer Todd C. Conormon tried to persuade the jury that McKenzie was terrified of Edmonds.
Superior Court Judge Claire Hill sentenced McKenzie to a minimum 13 years, one month, to a maximum 16 years, six months in prison.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released their annual health report for 2011 on Wednesday. The report contains more than 150 data tables on the U.S. population's well-being, with a special focus on socioeconomic status.
Here are a few of the interesting tidbits we found. For more, visit www.cdc.gov.
The Bible Belt needs more doctors. On average, there were 25 physicians for every 10,000 people in the U.S. in 2009. The Northeast, Hawaii and Minnesota had the highest ratio of doctors to patients, while states in the South and Rocky Mountain-areas had fewer than 21 per 10,000.
Your education level affects your kids' weight. The CDC collected data on childhood obesity between 2007 and 2010. Where the head of the household had a college degree, 7 percent to 11 percent of children aged 2 to 19 were obese. But when the head of the household was a high school dropout, 22 percent to 24 percent of the children were obese.
Cigarette smoking is still on the decline. In 2010, 19 percent of U.S. adults smoked, down 2 percent from 2009. Over the last decade cigarette smoking among students in 12th grade has decreased from 33 percent to 22 percent for male students and from 30 percent to 16 percent for female students.
Fewer teens are giving birth. Between 1998 and 2008, birth rates declined 27 oercent for teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17.
The gap is widening in education... In 2006, men without a high school diploma were expected to live 9.3 years less than those with a Bachelor's degree. The difference is two years more than it was in 1996. A similar gap increase holds true for women.
... and narrowing in racial disparities. While the gap between life expectancy rates for African Americans and whites still exists, the gap has narrowed over the last two decades. Hispanics still have higher life expectancies than both ethnic groups.
We're getting better at getting check-ups. In 2010, 59 percent of people over the age of 50 underwent a recent colorectal test or procedure, compared to 34 percent in 2000.
Heart disease is still the No 1. killer. In 2008, 617,000 people died from heart disease-related causes. The prevalence among adult men and women has remained fairly steady for the last decade.
Our children are fat, but not getting fatter. In 2010, approximately one in every five children was obese. Yet that rate has stayed pretty steady since 2007. That year, 19.6 percent of children aged 6 to 11 were obese. In 2010, it was 18 percent.
Most people aren't moving enough. In 2010 more than half of American adults failed to meet the government's recommended daily physical activity levels. It was worse for the elderly - approximately 70 percent of those over 75 didn't meet the requirements.

You can find some hip and cool stores in the Uptown area. Emily found a new store there called Bobiam – and all of its merchandise is designed by kids.
The store was inspired by 9 year old Liam Farrell and his artwork. With all of Liam's drawings laying all over the house and from that the creative gear was designed. From there they started selling t-shirts to family and friends. Two years later, the store in Uptown which features the talents of kids from all over the area was born.
Today Bobiam sells more than just t-shirts. There are mugs, cell phone cases, and hats. And they are always looking for more products to celebrate youth art. The products have to be trendy and high quality – and while there is no rules on design, the is a rule on the designer. Only kids 18 years or younger can be designers.
A portion of each sale from Bobiam goes to an organization in Minneapolis called Free Arts Minnesota (which helps abused kids start communicating through art.) The hope is to expand nationwide to help support and find other artists across the country. If you have a creative kid and would like to submit some of their artwork, or just want more info on Bobiam, click here.

Bit of a lengthy post, apologies. Okay, I heard about this site from a co-worker and thought I would check it out. All of the questions I have do not fit in a single topic, but weight loss being the most pressing I thought I would start here.
I am 38, 6' 1", and right now 306lbs. I could write a million excuses why I let it get this bad, but what matters is I did. Hopefully, I will get something more than fat jokes here.
I have never been skinny or at my "ideal" weight. I used to lift regularly up through my early 20's (3-4 times per week). Then I began running in my mid 20's to early 30's (3-4 miles, 3-4 times per week) and maintained my weight in the mid 230's, certainly not light, but was comfortable for me. However, the last 5 years or so, I really slacked off and it shows. I am now at a point in my life where I feel I need to get this under control or major health problems and being miserable in mid and later life may be around the corner. I refuse to become one of those people in Walmart who has to have the scooter!
My goals would be first to shed pounds, in as quick and healthy a way as possible. If I could get back to around 230-235 would be my first goal. From there, if I could hit 215-220 I think would be a really good weight for my build and would actually be where I was at my senior year of high school.
I have recently started back at the gym. Mainly have been doing cardio, just trying to get back into things. I would like to start lifting again. So far I have dropped about 5lbs in 2 weeks, seems a healthy pace. My general health is fine. Blood pressure is fine, cholesterol is fine. No major health concerns/complaints except being too damn fat.
So a few questions.
1. Supplementation - What would be a good supplement to start with that is primarily for weight loss? Trying to find good information on supplements seems impossible. Seems like 95% of the "reviews" on the internet are just ads from the supplement manufacturers made to look like reviews. Also, a lot of the info I read seems to talk about stacking multiple supplements in certain intervals, etc. Honestly, it is overwhelming. Any suggestions on some solid weight loss supps that don't cost a ton and are easy to use dosing-wise?
2. Work outs - Suggestions on good general workouts to get back into it after not lifting for a while? Would seem to me I need to concentrate on large muscle groups and basic exercises (bench, squat, deadlift, etc.). I never understood why the few times I worked with a trainer they had me doing what seemed like very isolated exercises. I really could care less about perfect symmetry. I understand the need for muscle balance, but I am not worried if my biceps are not in perfect proportion to my triceps or whatever. I would basically like to gain muscle mass (since more lean muscle increases metabolism) and get healthier.
3. Diet - I really have not made any major changes to what I eat except eating less of it. I also have been cutting out soda and junk food. Other than that, I am certainly open to suggestions on things to try. I am honest with myself in that I am not a person who is going to measure out to the gram and calorie exactly what I eat, just won't do it, I know me. I can however, stick to a general plan of what types of things and when I eat pretty well.
Thanks in advance for any advice folks throw my way.

As odd as it may seem that Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un are hanging out, the actual story behind it is not as exciting as it may appear. Truth is, Vice magazine set this mini-documentary up because they found out that Un was a huge fan of the Bulls in the '90s, and considering there was no way they could get Michael Jordan to go to North Korea, they called up Dennis Rodman, and wouldn't you know it, he said yes.
What a shock.Read More »

Of all of the things that can get a kid kicked out of school, auburn hair and kilts don't seem like big offenders. Unfortunately, a lovely dark red shade was enough to have a Utah teen kept from class, and a traditional Scottish kilt in his family's tartan may keep a Missouri teen from his prom. Do schools really have so little else to worry about that they have to go after otherwise well-behaved teens for their seemingly safe style choices?Read More »
Sex comes with a lot of unspoken laws that you're just supposed to know – like not being really creepy or not going overboard with the whole S&M thing. But did you know that there are written laws, too? Many states have crazy weird laws pertaining to sex, like not being able to sleep with a porcupine (Florida). I'm not sure who came up with these wacky laws or even why, but they sure make for good entertainment! Read More »
With all of the crazy names parents have given their children and the ridiculous things people have legally changed their names to, you'd think that there would be few laws left controlling what you can legally be called. Sure, if a parent is trying to name their child "Dirtbag," someone should probably step in. But now, in 2013, there are still people fighting legal battles because of gender-specific name laws and rules.Read More »
How would it feel to be scored on how much you appeal to other people? Sure, we've all felt judged at some point – but actually scored?

Some people act like their sweat doesn't stink, but for a lucky minority among us, theirs really doesn't. There are people with a gene variant that makes their sweat odorless. Even though they really don't need it, over three-quarters of these lucky people still use deodorant just to fit in. Really? If I were gifted with scentless armpits, I'd be singing it from the rooftops and avoiding all of the extra junk in antiperspirant and deodorant.Read More »
When a woman legally named Beautiful Existence announces that she will eat and drink only Starbucks products for an entire year, I'm left with a whole lot of questions. First off, I wonder how she came to be legally named Beautiful Existence – did she change it to that? Does she have trouble traveling with a passport in that name? The next obvious question is why she'd want to live off of Starbucks products for a year.Read More »

Though many of us have probably never seen measles firsthand because of successful vaccinations and immunizations, the disease still exists. Not only that, it's extremely contagious and it's staging a comeback. Don't worry, though, because one author/mother/anti-vaccination advocate says that the measles are a "marvelous" adventure! She even wrote a picture book about it to explain how childhood diseases are beneficial to the body.Read More »
In what may be a dangerous legal precedent, an Iowa court has decided that it's all right for an attractive person to be fired if she's "irresistible" to those around her. This holds true even if she's not flirting or being suggestive – just if her looks make the family men around her fantasize about people other than their wives.Read More »
When I heard that a message in a bottle had been discovered after floating around the ocean for the past 97 years, I was hoping that the relic would reveal an ancient secret tied to a timeless love story (maybe I've been reading too many Nicholas Sparks novels). While the actual nature of the message is more factual than fairytale, it is still an intriguing discovery.Read More »

I remember the first time I laid eyes on 5 Pointz. I was new to Queens and was trying to familiarize myself with the Long Island City area. One day I was riding the 7 train home and as it rounded the bend towards Queensborough Plaza, I was totally struck by this awesome building that was covered in mesmerizing graffiti. I was probably the only person standing there with my mouth gaping open but as soon as I got home, I did a Google serach to find out what that magical place was and learned that it was called 5 Pointz.
Since that first encounter, I've had the opportunity to visit this graffiti art mecca and even had the chance to photograph artists creating murals during The Artist Process, an event produced by fellow artist, Marthalicia Matarrita.
Today, I'm really sad to say that 5 Pointz is coming and down and will be replaced with yet another damn high rise building and shopping center. The building's owners, Jerry and David Wolkoff, had the murals whitewashed in the middle of the night. I found out this morning when I watched the news and saw footage of artists and other onlookers sobbing in despair. I knew that the owners were going to demolish the building but I didn't expect this insult. They claim that they were doing the artists a favor by whitewashing the murals first so that the artists didn't have to witness their art being destroyed in the demolition. I hardly find that a benevolent act, especially since it was done under the cover of night without allowing people to take one last look or photograph of the murals.
The demolition of 5 Pointz is just another example of how New York City is gentrifying into an unrecognizable shell of itself. The grit and the edginess that made the City feels so magical seems to be ebbing away. Yes, I realize the owners have a right to do what they want with their own property but what they're destroying a cultural icon. Supposedly they intend to create a dedicated space for graffiti where the new buildings will be but it won't be the same. You just can't recreate the sense of community that was suddenly stripped away.
I'm grateful that I was able to take pictures and that I still have them, but I really regret not going back there again before this happened. When I heard that 5 Pointz was in danger of being taken away, I always told myself that I would come back…but now it's too late.

Often referred to as "Canada's Cultural Capital", Montréal is a national centre for numerous repositories of visual art, science, literature, and historical artefacts.
Generally, museums open at 10 a.m. and are closed on Monday.
The cobblestone streets of Old Montréal have witnessed the passage of time for more than 360 years. Today, art galleries, artisans' boutiques, terraces, and cafés conduct business within the walls of gracious century-old structures.
Your visit begins with the meticulously restored (ca. 1860) Sir George-Etienne Cartier National Historic Site, which commemorates the life and work of the renowned politician and Father of Confederation. Remember to make reservations for guided tours and theatrical presentations.
Next, visit a prestigious residence from the 18th century, the Château Ramezay, which is a portal to Montréal's past and the first building in Québec to be classified as an historic monument. By intermingling exhibitions with multimedia portrayals of historical figures, the Château invites you to relive more than 500 years of history, from the pre-contact Amerindian era to the 20th century. The site includes the Governor's Garden, a typically delightful 18th century urban retreat.
After a morning of cultural activity, take the opportunity to sample exceptional cuisine, rest your legs, and gaze at superb panoramas of the Old Port at L'Arrivage, the restaurant located on the second floor of the Pointe-à-Callière, Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History.
Once you have recharged your batteries, go downstairs to the Museum. Pointe-à-Callière is a national historic site rising above the actual remains of Montréal's birthplace. Through an authentic archaeological tour, the Museum allows you to discover First Nations' artefacts, the city's first Catholic cemetery, its first marketplace, and lots more. Cutting-edge technology and a multimedia show bring Montréal's past to life. The Museum's contemporary building is linked by an underground passage to the Ancienne Douane, Montréal's first Custom House, which houses the Museum Boutique. Beneath the raised portion of Place Royale lies an archaeological crypt safeguarding more than six centuries of history.
Now fast forward through history and head to the DHC/ Foundation for Contemporary Art, an exhibition space that presents three to four contemporary art exhibitions per year and offers a dynamic program of film screenings and talks. The foundation also has an inclusive education and outreach program.
As the day draws to a close, this might be a good time to drop in on a popular hangout for local artists, Cluny Artbar, for a snack. Also, check out the adjoining Darling Foundry, a centre showcasing various forms of contemporary art.
For supper, here are two choices. First, Le Local, just around the corner from the Foundry, serves bistro-style cuisine in a heritage building once occupied by an architectural firm. The space is open and airy with high ceilings, giant light wells, a vast dining room, a front terrace, and a cocktail lounge. The second option is Boris Bistro, a charming nearby establishment offering savoury meals and a pleasant two-level outdoor terrace.
As night falls, take an Old Montréal Ghost Tour and learn about the hidden secrets and legends of the historic district. Spooky, but fun!
Montréal's downtown scene is a bustling study in contrasts where the latest architectural marvels soar beside stately Victorian-era residential, civic, and religious buildings.
Start off the day with a nice breakfast at Café Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese restaurant that prepares culinary gems with the freshest ingredients possible.
Take joy in the rest of your morning at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, whose permanent collection and temporary exhibitions rank among the finest and most innovative in the world.
With lunchtime fast approaching, head west on Sherbrooke Street until Guy Street, and explore the many commercial art galleries that line the thoroughfare. Then, backtrack east to the Holt's Café for some creative cuisine, which includes menu items carefully prepared with local, seasonal ingredients. You will cherish the scrumptious bites in the elegant setting of one of downtown's most luxurious department stores, the legendary Holt Renfrew.
Continue eastward on Sherbrooke Street and check out the Redpath Museum, McGill University, a natural history museum chronicling evolution from the primordial to the present, and featuring a permanent exhibit on the history and diversity of Québec, which include fossils, minerals, and zoological specimens. World culture exhibits focus on Egypt, Africa, and Oceania.
As the sun begins its descent, walk to the McCord Museum, one of the most important historical museums in Canada, and celebrate Montréal life past and present—its people, artisans, communities, and metropolitan area. The Museum offers stimulating exhibitions, educational and cultural activities, and innovative Internet projects.
A trip to the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal is a great way to discover the wealth of Québec creativity along with leading Canadian and international trends. Spend the morning here perusing the museum's permanent collection and latest exhibitions.
From creative sustenance to gastronomic nourishment, proceed to Bistro Le Contemporain, the Musée's dining establishment that highlights local expertise and meals featuring Québec cheeses and charcuterie.
Now, with a content belly, you can appreciate all that the Maison du Festival Rio Tinto Alcan has to offer. The Maison is a centre devoted to the dissemination and promotion of jazz and musical practice at large. It houses the Astral, a multipurpose hall, the Balmoral bistro terrace, the TD Gallery Lounge, a gift shop with souvenirs of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal and FrancoFolies de Montréal, and an audiovisual documentation centre for the preservation and protection of the Festival's musical heritage.
Also in the same area is the Belgo building, an old factory warehouse that is now home to many of the city's hottest galleries in the contemporary art scene. Here you can get a feel for current art trends and visit studios located in vast lofts where each gallery features exhibits on photography, sculpture, mixed media, print, and digital creations, to name a few.
Montréal is a destination that constantly hosts concerts, cultural activities, and other events, and La Vitrine culturelle de Montréal (Montréal's cultural window) is an excellent place for tourists and locals alike to gather information, calendars, and tickets for upcoming shows. Take advantage of last-minute prices at this central box office serving the Greater Montréal area.
If you have purchased some tickets at a great deal for an evening show, you can relax, grab a bite, and sip on a beverage at the Café du Nouveau Monde, which serves all kinds of classic French specialties.
In the unlikely event that you didn't get tickets to an interesting show this evening, head to the Society for Arts and Technology [SAT] where there is, more often than not, something fascinating happening. The SAT is an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to research, creation, production, presentation, education and conservation in the field of digital culture, and has hosted, produced, and co-produced numerous events associated with more than 8,000 artists, many of whom have gone on to pursue distinguished careers on the national and international scene.
To top off the evening, why not have a late night snack or drink at the Brasserie T or the F Bar, both located at the Place des Festivals. Brasserie T offers tempting little morsels such as scalloped potatoes, pigs in a blanket, and devilled eggs, all served in an ultra-design décor, while F Bar delights with Mediterranean pots of goodness and a crisp, chic interior. Whichever you choose, have a wonderful evening!
Day 4 – Île Sainte-Hélène
Start off your day by picking up a gourmet lunch box at Europea Espace Boutique or by grabbing a take-out meal from the Marché du Vieux. Both offer yummy treats that you will be able to eat at Île Sainte-Hélène, a favourite destination for the many visitors who value the beauty and activities that this island, only minutes away from Old Montréal, has to offer. You can get to Île Sainte-Hélène by subway (Métro Jean-Drapeau), car, bike, or boat. The Maritime Shuttles of the St. Lawrence, which links the Old-Port to Île Sainte-Hélène, offers you the chance to admire the view of the city from the St. Lawrence River. The service is offered from mid-May to mid-October.
Once you arrive on Île Sainte-Hélène, head over to the Biosphère, Environment Museum, an architectural masterpiece from the 1967 International and Universal Exposition (or Expo 67) that has been transformed into a venue presenting permanent and temporary exhibitions on major environmental issues related to water, air, climatic changes, sustainable development, and responsible consumption.
As midday approaches, walk around and find a pleasant spot on the island to have your picnic lunch. Along the way, you will be able to admire some of the public art that was erected for Expo 67, including the imposing Man, sculpted in steel by artist Alexander Calder.
After lunch, take a short walk to the Stewart Museum, where you will be able to travel into historical times through a remarkable collection of maps, antique weapons, and instruments, dating from the beginning of the New World to the mid-19th century.
Now that you have seen some of the jewels of Île Sainte-Hélène, travel to another part of town via Métro and bus to the Maison Saint-Gabriel, Museum and Historic Site. This 300-year-old house was converted into a museum in 1966 and is one of the most beautiful examples of traditional Québec architecture. The Museum showcases various aspects of rural life in the 17th century and the extraordinary history of the King's Wards.
End today's museum tour by visiting something a little bit different, Espace VERRE, a glass blowing and glass arts school, studio, and gallery that teaches glass techniques, promotes glass art, and provides services to professional glass artists. Housed in a former fire house in the south-west of Montréal, its glassblowing workshops are open to the public who can watch artisans in action. The gallery also exhibits and sells various glass items.
For dinner, choose one of the numerous Montréal eateries that have made the city an international gourmet hub. Enjoy!
With expansive green spaces and a multitude of attractions surrounding the Olympic Park, the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, affectionately called "HoMa" by Montrealers, is filled with cultural, historical, and natural treasures.
Built between 1915 and 1918, Château Dufresne is a beaux arts-style private mansion which was owned by the Dufresne brothers, two important members of Montréal's French-speaking bourgeoisie. Today, it houses the Château Dufresne museum, dedicated to the history of the neighbourhoods in the eastern part of the city. The building boasts an interior décor painted by artist Guido Nincheri.
In close proximity to Château Dufresne, is an area graced with three natural science museums: the Biodôme, the Insectarium, and the Botanical Garden. Whether you visit one of the museums or all of them, your perspective on natural science will be enriched. If you would like to have a quick lunch or even a cocktail, the Montréal Botanical Garden restaurant and terrace offer a unique and pleasant way to experience the splendid Garden and end your tour of Montréal. À votre santé!
