Arbitrator Wilson's recent decision in Dabrowska and Aviva Canada [FSCO A13-007793] is a warning to Insurers attending Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) pre-hearings – always have authority!
In this case, the parties attended a pre-hearing and had arrived at a tentative settlement. Unfortunately, no one at Aviva was available to approve the settlement even though the parties waited "a significant time for anyone in authority to respond." As a result, the pre-hearing was adjourned.
While Arbitrator Wilson recognized a settlement was voluntary, he noted that the parties should attend a pre-hearing in a position to have a meaningful and fulsome discussion about the file. Further, the parties should be able to respond during the pre-hearing discussion to developments or information. Arbitrator Wilson concluded that in pre-hearings, time is of the essence and it is important that the parties to litigation be in a position to make decisions in real time. The failure to do so could result in a missed opportunity with the matter proceeding to Arbitration by default.
Arbitrator Wilson noted that Aviva should have been aware of the responsibilities as it was a sophisticated party at FSCO. Further, he found that the Insurer's failure to have a party with the requisite authority was considered an abuse of process. Arbitrator Wilson concluded that an award of expenses was appropriate in the circumstances.
While the award was not significant (less than $100.00 in part because the Claimant's representative was not a lawyer), the decision sends a message to Insurers that a representative should always have proper authority when participating in a pre-hearing.

The Voice UK All Party Parliamentary Group is bringing the needs of people with learning disabilities who have experienced crime or abuse.to the attention of both Houses of Parliament at Westminster.
It also discusses redress for such victims as well as changes in public policy to uphold the rights of victims with learning disabilities and to prevent crime. The Group is chaired by Ian Mearns and holds meetings throughout the year.
The third meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Group will be introduced by Katharine Quarmby, journalist and author of 'The Scapegoat: Why We Are Failing Disabled People', which explores the hostility many disabled people face in our society today, and questions what can be done to better tackle disability hate crimes.
Katharine also addresses a sub-set of Disability Hate Crime, known as 'mate crimes', where people with disabilities are groomed, exploited, attacked and even murdered by people posing as 'friends'
Venue and time: Committee Room 6, House of Commons, on Tuesday 29 November 2011 from 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm.

Kids These Days of the Day: (Heads up — video is extremely graphic.)
The latest hobby among bored teens in Saudi Arabia — where strict Muslim customs limit their opportunities to really let loose — is drifting, and it's all fun and games until someone loses a limb. Or their life:
[It's] the "sport" of accelerating like you're trying to break the light barrier and then slamming on the brakes. Doing so creates two possible outcomes: 1) having the vehicle slide around like a crazy-cool doodlebug while the tires ferociously screech and smoke, or 2) prompting a massive car wreck that maims or kills everyone involved, often in the most gruesome way possible.
Obviously, the latter scenario is captured in this video, filmed in Riyadh on May 25. The 2012 Camry was going 125 mph when it flipped; all four occupants died instantly.

Designer Fashion
FREE SHIPPING! U.S.,Worldwide
Avon has been in business since 1886, but started producing costume jewelry in the early 1960s. Quality varies, but there are many well made, sought after pieces, and these are often featured in costume jewelry books.

"view" links so you can see more pictures.
Exotic Avon Peacock Brooch Like New in Box
With a 2004 date, this pin is not very vintage; however Avon has discontinued making it and it's time for you to have a treat! Avon really outdid themselves when they created this sweeping peacock! Jeweltone rhinestones and more rhinestones--this fabulous brooch is made of colorful stones of teal, rose, midnight blue, purple and dark blue and rose aurora borealis AB navettes and a dangling tail of chained crystals and beads. The setting is dark gunmetal, giving a midnight mystery aura to this imperial bird. Total length including the tail is 7", width at the branch is 2 1/2". This brooch has never been worn and is still in the original box. There is no image of the box because it's shiny metallic finish won't scan--it turns into a dark gray square! But the box is dark silvery blue with a silver "A" and in Very Good condition. The brooch is signed on the back "Avon" with the Canada mark beneath. Bird is in Excellent condition $45
Tropical Beauty 1987 Size Large Original Box
This plastic bangle bracelet has been a beloved Avon beauty since 1987. Turquoise colored splashed with bursting tropical florals, foliage, & lily of the valley, all brightly colored. This bangle is unsigned, but comes with the original box which is a bit worse for wear. Still, the bangle itself is in Excellent condition, is 1 1/2" wide and big enough in diameter to slip over a large hand and fit a large wrist. It would be too small for medium wrists. Enjoy all summer long! $28
Avon Christmas Cross
One of the prettiest of Avon's crosses, the Christmas cross looks almost like it belongs in a church. Lovely gold tone openwork supports clear jelly blue and green cabs. The recesses between lines of gold tone are filled with dark red enamel. Comes with original 30" chain. Cross itself measures 2 5/8" tall x 2 1/4" wide. Both cross and chain are signed Avon and are in Excellent condition. $24
Avon Smokey Topaz Maltese Cross Brooch/Pendant

Book Piece!
Kenneth J. Lane for Avon Dragonfly Nature's Treasures Brooch & Papillion Butterfly Clip Earrings
Circa 1990, this highly collectible dragonfly pin with the hard to find earrings which match perfectly since they are from the same line. You can also wear both of these with the Papillion necklace. The dragonfly is featured in several vintage costume jewelry books. Both pin and matching clip-on earrings are done in gold tone and enamel for a cloisonné look. The luscious flow enamels are butter yellow and golden pink, accented with pink & clear rhinestones. The brooch is large with a 3 1/8" wingspan; the scalloped earrings are 1 1/8". All pieces signed K.J.L Avon. Excellent condition. $68
Beautiful 1976 'Romanesque' AVON Silvertone Filigree Cross
In original, 4" x6" blue & gold box with
cross-shaped inset! An example of the best in Avon jewelry featured in several books, this pendant
is one of the most popular and beloved pieces of Avon jewelry. My mother had one of
these, and I have my own and wear it occasionally. Beautiful multi-colored glass
navette cabs imitate different colors of gemstones--faux lapis, jade, turquoise
and coral. The round center stone imitates hematite very effectively. The
setting is a remarkable antiqued beaded filigree openwork which includes
heart-shaped motifs. Well made with a good weight, the dimensions of the cross is
3" long x 2" wide, and is suspended from a textured 23 1/2"
textured link chain with spring-ring clasp. Signed Avon in back. Necklace Excellent
condition, box is sturdy but worn. $24
Avon Marcasite Bow Pin
After taking a good look at this Avon pin with a 5x loupe, these look like real marcasites. I've heard this pin referred to as faux marcasite, but if they are they are very good. Avon does come out with some really nice things, and this pin is one of them. The pin is 2" wide and 1 1/2" long and includes a crystal rhinestone in the center along with a dangling emerald green teardrop. Excellent condition. $24
Gorgeous Book Piece Avon Abbey Pendant Cross
Circa 1970. This vintage cross, an Avon favorite, is a vintage book piece featured in page Judith Miller's Collectibles Price Guide 2007, page 249. The lovely raised and textured gold tone renaissance design is irresistible with it's winking ruby-red glass cabochon. The cross measures 2 7/8" long not counting the bail, which add an extra 1/2" to the drop. The width of the cross is 1 7/8". It hangs on a double textured link chain of 20". Signed in back, Avon(c). Excellent condition. A lovely large cross pendant by Avon! $22
Vintage Avon Summer Lights Wide Multicolor Lucite Stretch Bangle
Turn you summer outfits from plain to snazzy with this bangle. Nobody did thermoset like Avon. Once you've handled some of their older thermoset pieces, it's clear the quality is as high as Lisner and Kramer thermoset jewelry. Thick thermoset wave pieces are seamless Lucite with saturated color, some swirled. Separate white pieces are lodged between two by two arrangements in each bright color--true RED, banana yellow, royal blue and color-crayon green (which, for some strange reason, looks light blue inn the Side view scan). The bangle is 1 3/8" wide and heavy for it's size. If your wrist is small to medium, this one will fit perfectly. If you have a large wrist, this bangle won't fit you--yes it stretches, but it will squeeze like the dickens if you wear the wrong size. Excellent condition. This will arrive in the original box, but the box is in poor condition, so the price is no higher than it would be without the box. A bargain at $28.

We have information you must know before you buy the E350.
We want to send it to you, along with other pricing insights.
We will not spam you, and will never sell your email.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is an icon, a benchmark in its class. In many ways it epitomizes the brand. It's the company's best-selling line worldwide, and one of the best-selling Mercedes models in the United States.
The E-Class represents the middle range among Mercedes-Benz sedans: larger than the entry-level C-Class, but more trim and practical than the imposing S-Class. Nonetheless, today's E-Class is as big as an S-Class was in the 1970s. The E-Class sedans are big, roomy cars that are solid, safe, practical, comfortable, luxurious, and fast. The E-Class features some of the industry's most advanced safety technology, and it expresses what most people think of when they think of Mercedes: status in an elegant, understated fashion.
Yet the cost of operating the popular Mercedes E350, in terms of fuel consumption and maintenance, can be quite reasonable. And there is no better example of how far passenger car diesel technology has advanced than the Mercedes E320 Bluetec. With its advanced common-rail direct-injection turbodiesel engine, the E320 Bluetec accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds, while delivering EPA-estimated fuel mileage of 23/32 city/highway mpg, and producing minimal exhaust emissions. The Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec was named World Green Car at the 2007 New York International Auto Show, and NewCarTestDrive.com chose it as one of its Best Commuter Cars that same year.
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class includes six models (nine, if you count the all-wheel-drive variants separately). Buyers can choose a sedan or wagon. They can choose among two V8s, a V6, and a turbocharged V6 diesel, and between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
For 2007, the Mercedes E-Class was freshened with more powerful engines, along with subtle styling changes, new interior elements, and a few tweaks for handling and safety. These changes helped the E-Class keep pace with such outstanding luxury competitors as the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Acura RL.
Also new for 2007 were the super-high-performance E63 AMG sedan and wagon, powered by a 507-hp 6.2-liter V8 that made the E63s the fastest E-Class models ever built. And though capable of monstrous acceleration (0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds) and a top speed of 180 mph (were it not for electronics that limit top speed to 155 mph), these latest AMGs retain the touches of luxury expected at the upper end of the market.
For 2008, there are few changes to the E-Class lineup except for a new AMG Sport Package for the Mercedes E350 and Mercedes E550.
Before the launch of the gorgeous CLS sedan/coupe, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class was widely considered to be the most successful design among the company's current sedans. The slight increase in overall length and wider front and rear tracks introduced on the 2007 models did nothing to dispel the car's suave look.
The four-headlight theme was refined for 2008, with transparent louvers over their top sections, a striking effect, and white LEDs used for the parking lights. The front bumper and radiator grille were given a pronounced V-shape, and the spoiler stretched lower.
The front end's new look was carried to the rear along deeper side skirts to a new rear bumper and taillight configuration. New mirrors provided a better view with even less wind resistance. These changes have kept the E-Class looking fresh and youthful, yet elegant.
No further appearance changes have been made for 2008.
The current E-Class introduced many innovations not necessarily apparent to the eye. This was the first Mercedes sedan to use aluminum body components extensively, starting with the hood, front fenders, trunk lid, front crossmember and front subframe. Aluminum is lighter and potentially stronger but more expensive than steel. Aluminum amounts to 10 percent of the body's weight. About 37 percent of the total is modern high-strength steel alloys.
From the aerodynamic perspective, the E-Class is one of the slipperiest sedans extant. Its 0.27 coefficient of drag is a benchmark for sedans and helps minimize wind noise and maximize fuel economy.
The E-Class wagon, available only in E350 and E63 AMG versions, will never be mistaken for anything but a wagon. Nonetheless, it is impressively sleek, and some critics find the tear-drop taper of the rear roof more aesthetically pleasing than the trunk deck on the sedans. Certainly, the wagon's added cargo-passenger flexibility is welcome. If the E350 wagon is too stodgy for your taste, there's always the E63 AMG version.
The E63 AMG sedan and wagon look meaner than the other E-Class cars. With their lower body cladding and 18-inch wheels, the E63s look racy and aggressive. As is often the case, the body add-ons add slightly more drag, if you can call a super slippery 0.28 Cd more drag. The aerodynamic aids are for downforce, to improve grip in fast corners.
We really enjoy the Mercedes E-Class interior. Like its exterior styling, we consider the E-Class cabin to be some of the marque's best design work, with a successful mix of attributes. The E-Class sedan delivers plenty of passenger space, yet it maintains some level of intimacy. It's luxurious, yet functional, and loaded with features without being excessive. The E-Class has all the traditional Mercedes interior cues, starting with its standard dark stained burl walnut trim. The cabin is conservative in some respects, daring in others, and impressively executed throughout.
The freshened styling introduced for 2007 gave the car a more elegant look, distinguished by sweeping curves, soft surfaces and effective use of chrome trim. A handsome four-spoke steering wheel with elliptical thumb-operated buttons was new as well, along with revised controls for the automatic climate system and additional interior color choices.
The dashboard sweeps from each side and blends into the doors and center console. The wood trim is complemented by splashes of chrome. Plastic panels are generally rich in appearance and have a soft-touch finish. All are sprayed with a polyurethane coating that delivers impressively consistent color.
The instrument cluster uses black script on white gauges with LED lighting. There's a big speedometer in the middle, with a menu-operated display for diagnostics, feature selection, ambient temperature, date and other information in its center. To the left sits a large analog clock, to the right the tachometer. On either end of the cluster are neat bar gauges that resemble thermometers, displaying fuel level and coolant temperature.
A cluster of switches between the visors on the headliner controls cabin lighting and the Tele-Aid SOS call button. The panel also includes a switch to operate the sunroof. HomeLink buttons are located on the bottom of the rearview mirror and can be programmed to control garage doors, house lighting, gates, etc. Redundant controls on the steering wheel hub operate the phone, radio and information display.
A single row of switches at the bottom of the center stack operates door locks, flashers and seat heaters. The main audio, telephone and navigation controls are located in a Comand module, spread around a 16:9 ratio LCD display screen. The system is a big improvement over Mercedes' previous control center, and while it still requires some learning, it probably takes less time to master than the menu/joystick system in many E-Class competitors.
The CD changer is located behind a flip-up switch panel in the center of the dash, which, at the touch of a button, opens for access. The changer can play audio CDs and MP3s, and an auxiliary input plug in the glove box allows personal audio devices to be played through the 12-speaker sound system. An optional kit connects an Apple iPod to the audio system and provides information in the center display while allowing control via the multi-function steering wheel. Mercedes re-learning that people who drive cars carry stuff with them. This E-Class has less storage space than some of its competitors, but acres more than any Mercedes did five years ago. The center console has a funky pop-up cupholder and a large storage bin (two bins if you don't order the telephone package). Storage bins are also located in each door along with map pockets on the front seatbacks.
The 10-way adjustable front bucket seats are firm enough for good support when driving fast, but not hard on the back when cruising. They grip bodies of various sizes nicely, and there's more than enough adjustment via Mercedes' patented door-mounted seat controls to accommodate just about everyone. The sport seats have enough bolstering to keep a bronze bust in place. But if you don't dive into corners like Stirling Moss, you probably don't need them. They make getting in and out a little more difficult. We especially enjoy the op
All of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars are enjoyable to drive. Smooth, serene and quiet are the dominant impressions at the wheel of any E-Class, unless you have the accelerator floored. There's very little vibration anywhere in the cabin, and almost no wind noise.
Improvements to the geometry of the front suspension for 2007 has given the E-Class a crisper, quicker turn-in while cornering, perceptibly increasing the sporty nature of the car's handling. All of the E-Class cars corner responsively and provide a smooth, if slightly firm, ride, a balance we like in luxury sedans. The four-link front suspension is similar to that under the expensive S-Class models, and the five-link rear suspension does a superb job of controlling unwanted wheel movement, which is crucial to handling and ride quality.
The variable-power steering system was improved for 2007 with a 10-percent quicker ratio for more precise control of front wheel direction. The system provides more boost for easy turning at low speeds and less for more progressive steering response and feedback at higher speeds. With 2.6 turns lock-to-lock compared to the previous system's 3.3 turns, we found the new steering makes maneuvering through crowded parking lots easier and more pleasant, and it's far more responsive in the corners.
The Sport models are tuned for those who like to feel in closer touch to the pavement, as they are fitted with shorter springs for a slightly lower ride height, stiffer shocks, and low-profile performance tires on 18-inch wheels.
On V8 models, the Airmatic Dual Control suspension replaces the standard steel coil springs with air springs. This computer-managed system adjusts the air pressure to the spring at each wheel, based on road conditions or driving style, to slightly soften or firm the ride and to add or decrease body roll (lean) in corners. In combination with electronically adjusted shock absorbers, the air suspension can automatically improve ride quality or handling or optimize the balance of the two, depending on where the car is traveling and whether the driver is cruising or driving quickly. The system works automatically, without switching suspension settings between sport and comfort.
The previously touchy brake system was simplified for 2007, and now provides an ultra-smooth grasp, even at slow speeds. Each E-Class model has progressively larger brake rotors and more complex piston designs to complement the engine's power and corresponding speed potential. The E-Class wagons give up almost nothing to the sedans in performance, fuel economy or handling dynamics.
The E350 comes with a 3.5-liter engine, the first Mercedes V6 with dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. The 3.5-liter V6 generates 268 horsepower, and it mates well with the high-tech seven-speed automatic transmission that comes standard. The E350 is as responsive as any V6-powered car we've driven. This engine also features fully variable valve timing, so it delivers an impressive amount of torque from idle all the way to redline. The E350 responds immediately, no matter how fast it's already traveling when the driver dips the gas pedal. The 3.5-liter engine is also appreciably smooth, particularly at high rpm. And thanks to the seven-speed automatic, it delivers decent fuel mileage.
The E320 Bluetec diesel gets vastly superior fuel economy, with EPA ratings of 23 city/32 highway mpg. With predominantly highway travel, this gives it a range over 600 miles per tankfull. The Bluetec is designed to run on the ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel introduced into the U.S. starting October 2006. Mercedes' first V6 diesel, the Bluetec features all the latest high-tech goodies, including turbocharging, a variable nozzle turbine, four valves per cylinder, exhaust gas recirculation and a third generation of CDI, the common-rail direct-injection system that delivers fuel to the engine at an incredible 23,000 psi (compared to 1
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers a wide range of choices, but all have the attributes that have made them a benchmark among luxury cars. Every model delivers a combination of safety, luxury, practicality, performance, status, and cost of operation that's difficult to match. The redesigned E-Class introduced for model year 2007 improved on this car. This remains an iconic car in a market segment crowded with good cars.

As the meetings industry continues to embrace emerging audiences from emerging markets, Kristin Mirabal, Director, Global Programs, The Optical Society, is helping PCMA determine how to more effectively engage the international community as Chair of the PCMA Global Task Force. From PCMA's participation in hosted buyer programs to PCMA staff and faculty speaking in destinations around the world, Mirabal says that the organization is working hard to become a global resource for planners experienced with meetings outside of their own borders.
However, that task is not easy.
"When you're a US-based organization, you face challenging global perception issues," Mirabal says.
Mirabal recognizes that that overcoming those perception issues won't happen overnight for PCMA.
"It takes a lot of fostering and building relationships," Mirabal says. "Fortunately, PCMA already has a great foundation by offering educational programs in international locations and increasing the association's brand exposure in new countries."
Understanding How to Attract the Global Community
Mirabal is no stranger to navigating the ever-evolving map of the meetings industry. At The Optical Society, Mirabal says that the organization's membership base has rapidly expanded outside North America. The majority of that growth has taken place outside of the US in places like China, Brazil, Germany, India, Japan and South Korea.
"Our member demographics are changing, and we've also had to change our organizational thought processes," Mirabal says.
Changing thought processes has inspired an adjustment in OSA's actual name, too. The organization dropped the "of America" from its official name to help position themselves as a global brand.
However, some of the changes at OSA have been very subtle, too. Mirabal says that organizations that hope to grow their international audience can consider small modifications such as listing a country code in front of their phone numbers and converting their exhibit space and poster board measurements into meters and yards.
"The rest of the world doesn't use the same measurement tools as the US," Mirabal says. "We're constantly working to make ourselves more user-friendly to a wider audience."
Knowing Where to Look for Your New Members
Understanding how to appeal to a wider audience is only piece of the equation. Mirabal stresses that knowing where to look for that audience is equally important.
"It's crucial to analyze your community and identify the key markets where there is a lot of activity surrounding your specific industry," Mirabal says. "We're looking to see where governments are providing support and where people are investing in new resources that impact our growing membership base."

Name's Bond. James Bond.
That used to mean something, you know. If it was 1994, you'd be a vulnerable, rampant mess; quivering somewhere between fear and arousal.
Seems hard to believe now, right? Now you're just another bored barmaid, blithely entertaining another sad, drunk old man.
You're... oh, great. You're not even listening. Off to serve some other has-been.
I'm a Great British hero, you ignorant dimwit. I've lived my fantasies and most of yours; I've snipped the sharp-end off countless terrorist machinations; I've simultaneously served both Queen and Country and my voracious carnal appetite for decades - and I've never needed a blue pill to help me out, neither.
Seen the world? I've saved it more times than I've had hot sinners. And believe me, no-one sins quite as hot as Grace Jones.
Your dad probably stole my style to bed your mum. You owe me your damn lives, you kids. But none of you are interested, are you? Little gits. Don't know you're born.
Ack. I'm sorry. Love... love? Cheers for coming back. Ignore me. I always get a bit maudlin in this state. I've been knocking 'em back like Bet Lynch at a funeral. Stick another vodka Martini in there would you? Attagirl.
Look at me - I'm babbling. I never used to babble. Clipped, I was. Assertive. Kiss kiss, bang bang and all that. You've literally got no idea what I'm on about, have you?
No, not Smirnoff, thanks darling. Too pricey. How about the dirty stuff? Yeah, the Zukovsky. Ha! Zukovsky! Nice name. £2.20? Good for me. Doubles a pound extra? Why not? We both know I haven't got work in the morning.
I haven't had much luck lately, you know. £2, £2.50... I was making a huge movie back in April - true story. £2.70, £2.90... Was cancelled. Mid-filming! Studio ran out of money. Much like its superstar daredevil, as it turns out.
Thank God the pub's open on a Tuesday afternoon, that's all I can say. A man's thoughts can get dark when he's faced this much rejection.
£3.10, £3.15... Bugger. Any chance you'd let me off the 5p?
I had to sell my Rolex last week to make rent. Could be worse. Could be MGM! God. Sorry Cubby, that was low.
Anyway, here's to you Valetin! You old dog!
Youngsters might not realise it, but I owned the 20th Century. I was a one-off, many times over. Assassinating, wisecracking, cold-blooded, irresistible... me.
Not any more. NOT ANY MORE. Now I'm scampering round the big screen pretending to be Jason 'can't be bothered with shirt and tie' Bourne.
You know why? Because your generation don't pay for class. Because you're selfish. Because everything has to be explicit to you lot, doesn't it?
Explicit and damn PC. "Ooooh. Why do so many women sleep with him when he's such a predator? Is that really a good image for young boys?"
Yes, of course it is - precisely because I'm a predator. Look at these emo wimps running about these days. All eye-liner and clammy palms. Nothing outdated about being a real man. I take what I want. And right now, I want another drink.
Don't worry, love: I've a fiver in the inside pocket of this suit. This M&S suit. Urgh. What have things come to?
God, what would Brosnan say? Moore would be appalled. Probably scythe me down with a killer one-liner. They've taken those from me, too. I have to be all brooding and laconic these days. Gets boring... especially when you're paid by the word.

Study: U.S. loaded with Internet addicts
Thursday, 19 October 2006, 12:12 AM EST
The new study on Internet addiction by Stanford researchers found that among the habits online users develop is strong compulsion to check e-mail, post blog entries, or visit Web sites or chat rooms. "It is not unlike what sufferers of substance abuse or impulse-control disorders experience," said Elias Aboujaoude, the study's author.

Health Effects of Dietary Exposure to Pesticides
This collaborative project of The Organic Center and Professor Lu of Harvard University will examine the health effects associated with dietary pesticide exposure through meta-analysis of currently published data. This research is critically needed; while research studies are increasingly finding pesticides negatively affect human health, public awareness of these findings is low because there are no recent reviews analyzing and summarizing available information.
Although many scientific journal articles have reported adverse health effects related to low-level chronic exposure to pesticides, due to the narrow scope of these studies, many people are still confused about the benefits of avoiding pesticides in food. Most studies focus on one specific chemical or food type, which can lead to difficulty in making broad generalizations about the safety of foods with pesticide residues. Additionally, the narrow scope of these studies makes them more difficult to communicate to the public because connecting them to people's everyday lives can be challenging.
This project will tie together information from previous publications, creating a meta-analysis that incorporates information from a multitude of different pesticide types and exposure levels. We will use the abundance of narrow-scope research on health effects of pesticide exposure to build a model that can be applied to a wide range of food choice situations. In addition to our research, will will communicate our findings with the public to ensure understanding and increase awareness around the issue of pesticide risks.

windows 7 ultimate
hard drive setup
I have been trying to run windows 7 ultimate in raid 0 and I am having too many problems and error messages.
Right now I can't even boot up. How can I get rid of my raid set up so I can just install my operating system on Drive C and the rest of my programs on the 2nd drive?
|My System Specs

W 7 64-bit Ultimate
Hello lazylyons, welcome to Seven Forums!
Leave only a single Hard Disk Drive connected to the motherboard and that connected to the #1 SATA port; I would suggest a complete wipe on the entire HDD before the install, have a look at the information below and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
After you have copied out or made back-ups of the data you need to save to external media, then boot the Windows 7 installation media to use Step One of this tutorial at the first link below to do a wipe (secure erase) to the entire Hard Disk Drive / Solid State Drive.
Whether you use diskpart to run either the clean all command to completely wipe a HDD / SSD or just the clean command to remove the format configuration data and don't use diskpart to create at least a single partition to do the installation to, letting the Windows installer do the format you will end up with the new Windows 7 System Reserved partition, if you want to make your own decision whether this partition is added, study these two (2) options below.
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
DISKPART : At PC Startup
Do a Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
If you don't want to wipe the entire HDD, you can do a partition-specific wipe of the Windows partition using the Partition Wizard Bootable Disk (PWBD) have a look at Option Three in the tutorial at this link below.
Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD

I would leave the programs on the C drive and move the user files to the other drive. For that, go to properties of Document, Music, Pictures, etc. Go to the the Location tab and MOVE. But make sure you first define folders (with any name) on the other drive and DO NOT move the folders to the root of the drive. Once you moved the folders, they will assume their old name again.
Another method that I use: I leave the original user folders on C and define new user folders on the other drive. Then I move my own stuff there and INCLUDE the folders into the corresponding library (just right click on the folders, you'll see). The advantage is that all the system and program generated folders still go into the folders on C and are not mixed with my own stuff.
Example: All those folders in Documents were generated by programs and not by me:

Average Customer Review: 10 Reviews
Write an online review and share your thoughts with others.
Very Pleased, 6.8.2013
Reviewer: Ryan (, )
I have an unheated pool in the midwest. My daughter is 2.5 years old, and about 32 inches. The suit fits great on her, I just roll up the wrists and ankles. She looks very cute, and most importantly stays warm when other kids wouldn't even put thier tows in 70 water. Since there is no pink, I got her the blue, she said she was superman and loved it. It will last her next year as well, then on to my 1 month old boy when he grow up.
Thanks Billabong.
Great!, 5.26.2013
Reviewer: Michele (, )
Bought this for my 3yr old in a size 2. Fits great with a little room to grow. Very soft. Happy with purchase.
Kid in the kayak, 12.19.2011
Reviewer: AQ (, )
I bought this wetsuit for my five year old son to fish out of our kayak in San Diego Bay. My concern was that it keep him warm and splash proof. It worked great. The lining inside made it very easy to put on.Don't let the velcro collar catch on the lining inside as it will tear it. Still a great suit.
Great Suit , 11.19.2011
Reviewer: Pete (, )
my son loves it, it came in 2 days with the free shipping. No complaints well made. Now my 3 year can surf with me this winter and he's stoked.
Good Quality Suit, 5.31.2011
Reviewer: FG (, )
Suit came within a week. Size 6 worked well for out 7 year old who is 52" and ~50 lbs. Very happy overall.
Excellent product, warm child, 3.31.2011
Reviewer: Windflower (, )
I bought this for my petite 9 year old who literally turns purple in cold water. We were going snorkeling and on a dolphin swim in 74-76 degree water for spring break. My daughter is very slender, wearing a size 7 slim in pants, which I then have to tighten up more. I bought the size 6 for her. It was snug, which is important for warmth. By the third use she had mastered getting in on herself.
She snorkeled for almost 90 minutes before she said she was getting chilled. She never turned purple and she had a blast. She'll probably get some use out of it for lake swimming in Minnesota this summer.
The wetsuit is very well made with quality materials.
Good Choice, 10.4.2010
Reviewer: Jake (, )
Great quality suit. The lower arms and legs are a bit narrow. If you are at the upper end of the chart for sizing, you might go up one.
Happy customer, 7.21.2010
Reviewer: Bill (, )
Have not used the suit as yet, but was extremely pleased with ease of ordering, timely shipment and delivery. Seems to be appropriate for the age and intended use. Will be using in August and if there are problems, which I doubt as the suit seems to be well constructed, I will be sure to update.
excellent product!, 5.13.2010
Reviewer: Gina Goldie (, )
Bought this for my two year old because we own a rafting company and we want her to be able to come on the river with us, yet still be as safely geared as we are. It was very easy to put on, and she ran around the house in it for a good hour before wanting to take it off. Excellent mobility and comfort! But yet the neoprene is thick where it needs to be. We were thrilled to get something that will allow her to do extended trips with us!
Very Nice Wetsuit, 7.5.2009
Reviewer: (, )
I was looking for a good 3mm suit for my daughter and this is very nice quality and fit well. I would recommend it.

i agree this was just a little tip of sasukes ems powers obviously ders more wer it came from and we shall see it wen he meets naruto sme pple jst post without thinking saying shit lyk is dat all sasuke can do
yeah, but i was amazed by suigetsu's jutsu, would anything work on him at all, he's jux impossible to hit.
Ok this is what i'm talking bout! This manga has been so long and drawn out i forgot about karin, hugo and sugestu. I know i speleed the names wrong! Now its something important that orchmariu learned that is important to the war. And i though sauske had EMS, which means his sharigan eye will always be in monakgan sharigan. So why does he have 3 tombs in his eye then he activates MS. I like that manga but now its 2 damn drawn out. Naruto finally gets some awesome power that even tobi is scared bout. But now we got to look at sasuke and have kishi explain his long drawn out part which will take about 2 months of manga.
He won't kill konoha nin because he promised Naruto to kill him first. He seems to be keeping his word because when he's frying 14 zetzus he says, "you're not from Konoha so you are not protected."
RIP mangastream. Those were quality scans.
The reason why this chapter gets bad ratings is:
- people are totally unobjective when it comes to Sasuke. they just become dumb and dislike the chapter. Naruto would be such a boring manga if naruto didnt have a rival.
- F****** haters

Good Chapter. Wondering where Sasuke's eyes are.
I'm with u dm 120, amazing analysis.

Kishi hello ..!!! are you make of this story while you sleep

Well, then there not true naruto fans and should go hate on another manga/mangas character. :D
p.s. Although, Naruto manga wouldn't be boring if naruto didn't have a rival.
Good chap.
thanks for posting. when i saw the j-preview on mangastream i thought sasuke was gonna realize narutos hard life but nahh

it might not be boring, but you have to admit it wouldnt be AS fun
I think plot development is great.
FOr a second I tought suguestsu killed jugo
The randomness of the chapter really annoyed me. What is Sasuke's purpose? Is he walking around a forest wiping out Zetsus? When he arrived on the battlefield I thought he had a plan of some kind. I guess he needed to receive his instructions from a Zetsu drone before deciding "Oh yeah, guess I need to go kill Naruto". Also the randomness of Suigetsu's discovery. Wow, just wow. I guess we will now have to wait for Suigetsu to deliver Sasuke a purpose.
Kishi may be driving us to hate this guy, but please don't make him stupid beyond all comprehension. It diminishes the character.
The chapter was alright,
I guess because everyone had high expectations for it,
everyone was a little disappointed, including me
I wish the "carnage" was between Sasuke and the Rookies,

So thats what Kabuto, Orochimaru's plan was. To ger a rinnegan so he can master all jutsus, and he needed an uchia for that. Well now we know what oro's obsession with Sasuke, and Itachi was.
I think you nailed it. i think we havent seen the last of oro

Funny thing is zetsu IS from Konoha...

Madara Says something like " If you wish to perish at a much faster pace, then I'll be gladly to help."
Those to have an Epic battle, Kakashi and Gai pull the support characters.
It changes to the Konoha 11 running through the trees, heading to the battle field.
It changes back, he and the Kurama tries the transformation again, this Time with succession.
You will see a Kurama with a Shadow cloned Naruto on his back.
Madara, along with Gai and kakashi looks with awe.
Kakashi may say: Naruto...
Killer B/Gyūki: He, Completely Mastered the form, in 2 attempts, This Kid is really something.
Madara(Tobi)- Hmm.... "In his Mind" (He's completed the Transformation, I have to take him down fast enough toying around, It's time to use "That" Jutsu).
* Madara does some hand signs*
Fang over fang appears and he dodges, followed by a leaf Hurricane.
After Madara Lands you see the Konoha 11.
Madara looks in astoundment but brushes it off and States: It doesn't matter How much backup you get, you'll never defeat...
Chidori Spear through the back.
Konoha 11 + Naruto, and the sensei's look up to see who attacked.
Madara looks back and says: "So... Your Mangekyo Sharingan his fully much "Eternally" Sasuke."
You see Sasuke look at the screen with a Look to kill.
Naruto shouts: "Sasuke!"
Sasuke Says to Madara: "I know your plan, I'm not as clueless as you think, I could read you like a book."
Tobi: " You... How dare you Betray me, I warned you that if you betrayed me, I would kill you."
Sasuke: " I have gotten more powerful, Madara you'll be the One dying by my hands.
Those two fight 3 to 5 chapters.
Itachi ends up finding "kabutomaru" and those two are having a short battle.
Itachi is about to give the finishing blow, he senses Sasuke's Malice Enduced Energy.
He restrains kabuto and brings him to were sasuke is, so Kabuto doesn't try anything funny.
You Would end up seeing a very Injured Madara, Sasuke's is about to give the finishing blow and the senses Itachi has arrived to the BattleField.
Kabutomaru states that he wants to just sit and watch as the two brothers go at it.
Kakashi and Gai watches over him.
When he tries to get sasukes attention, He kills Tobi.
Itachi comes over too late, Those two have a meaningful conversation and sasuke breaks out in tears.
Sasuke then turns two Naruto for the final battle as Sasuke after realizing he's come to far, to stop and that this battle was destined.
Jugo and Suigetsu Appears as well, Last second.
Part of My prediction came true, Just Out of Order. I need to reorganize this.

Deep Thoughts
Different leagues
Published: May 01, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
I've been thinking a lot about Albert Pujols lately. This is not unusual, as my wife can attest. However, unlike the usual fawning and praising, I find myself asking tough questions like, "Is Albert mortal?" and "Is the American League really that much tougher than the National League?"
It's this last question that keeps me up at night. My Royals love aside, I'm a hardcore traditionalist who counts the DH among humanity's greatest failings, right up there with Nickelback and "Glee." I've grown tired of hearing how the American League is head and shoulders above the Senior Circuit in terms of quality of play and star appeal, a theme that comes up regularly during the All-Star Game and the World Series and only gained traction with the moves of Pujols and Prince Fielder to the Dark Side.
Using the magic of Stats Inc. and Baseball-Reference.com, I decided to take a look at some offensive statistics to see just how superior the American League really is. (My working thesis was "none more superior.")

Someone put together a nicely-written analysis comparing Lance Armstrong to Walter White. Both accomplished great things early in life (Lance winning the World Championship, Walt the Nobel Prize in Chemistry), both later suffered from Cancer, and, as the author says- Somewhere along the way for both Lance and Walt it stopped being about keeping a secret and became about coercion, intimidation and evasion of authority. Makes for very interesting reading. Reminds me of Joseph Campbell's book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, except that, instead of looking at modern cinematic heroes like Luke Skywalker or Hans Solo (or for that matter, Harrison Ford in any role at all), it would be about how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. Or not, since at some point we are supposed to presume Anakin Skywalker was born innocent and became bad, and not so sure many will go to much trouble to find evidence that Lance had a humble, innocent nature at a young age. Here's the link to the story. Worth the read if you're a Breaking Bad fan. Or even if not. 6197 2013-10-16 14:53:22 2013-10-16 21:53:22

Video Game News: Summer Price Drops, Re-releases and Free Apps
The title is a bit misleading as I want to talk about more than just price drops. I want to share some discount options in general. As the calendar turns to June and Summer is now upon us, The Guy Video Game Roadshow rolls on with my choices for the coolest free gaming apps, portable gaming price cuts, and console discounts you'll want to scoop up as the temperature starts to rise. Nintendo Makes Their Most Popular Portable Wallet-Friendly
To kick off the month, Nintendo announced that the DS Lite would see a price drop from the standard $129.99 down to $99.99 at your friendly neighborhood gaming or electronics store. The DS Lite price drop will take effect on June 5th across the U.S.
Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 "Classics"
Classic collections or games dubbed "Greatest Hits" or "Platinum Hits" by either Sony or Microsoft have been around for a couple of gaming generations now. The great thing about these re-packaged, re-released titles is that they are usually 1) great games that you may have missed out on when they debuted, and 2) are available at a much lower price than they were originally.
Didn't catch the first Mass Effect on the 360 when it was all the rage and selling for $60 new? No worries. Pick up the Platinum Hits version of the original Mass Effect brand new for just $20. Want something more recent? Check out Gamestop for hits like the discounted version of Fable II or Halo Wars.
Back to my list, July sees the release of the Resistance Greatest Hits dual pack. Priced at $39.99, that's two hit games–Resistance Fall of Man and Resistance 2–for less than the price of one new game.
This month, on the 21st specifically, sees the release of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD. Tops on my personal must-have list this summer, this package will run $40 and includes three Splinter Cell Games on a single disc: The original Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory. These were originally first Xbox (1 and 360) release titles that were ported over to the PS2. The results at the time were less than equal in terms of look to their Microsoft versions. The games are now getting the HD treatment for the PS3, PS2 and PC. Think of this collection as the remixed, remastered version complete with a fresh coat of paint. Not only are they now in HD, but, according to IGN, "Splinter Cell Trilogy will run in 3D (if you have a television capable of supporting 3D, that is) and each game in the Trilogy has been ported not from the PlayStation 2 versions of the games but rather the PC versions."
Apps Worth Every Penny…Because They're Free
iOS (Apple) has treated the first of the month like a holiday dropping the price of a few of its cooler game apps down to the family friendly price of zero. While many of these are only good through today (so I won't mention them because when you read this, today will be yesterday–space-time continuum factoid number 101…), some will be available for awhile longer with no end date specified. Jump on them fast though, because it's a safe bet that they won't remain free for long.
First up is Crazy Car HD, which is available for the iPad and usually costs $1.99. Yes, I know, not bank breaking, but free beats $2 any day in my book. The game basically puts you in control of traffic lights and it's your job to make sure every single car crosses safely past the lights. Yes, not exactly rocket science, but it is fun as all get out.
When you're done saving the streets from people who thought the driving manual was just a loose set of guidelines, be sure to download Memory4Kidz which is 4Free (see what I did there?) in the Android Marketplace. It is a simple memory game that can be fun for adults as well. "Memory4Kidz is a simple memory game that allows children to focus on the basics of colors, numbers and shapes by choosing the appropriate game type." My friend downloaded it for his daughter and she absolutely loves it.
That's it for this week. As always, you can follow my further musings on all things video games and consumer electronics via Twitter @SavingsGCapes. See you right back here next week for more fun and frivolity.

Little, unnoticed things can often grow into something big and exciting. Right?
Just look at how a couple of raindrops turned into the Grand Canyon. Cindy and Bobby Brady are still trying to find their way home.
Prairie State College softball coach Marty Mears met Calumet coach Ryan Vondrak last year on a recruiting trip. The two softball supporters became fast friends.
In talking about ways to add exposure and excitement to the high school sport, they came up with a brilliant idea -- the Illinois-Indiana State Line Clash.
It was an idea that resulted in Vondrak's Warriors playing Bloom in a doubleheader at the junior college facility located in Chicago Heights. Calumet won both games.
Indiana leads the series 2-0. Yeah, I'm a Hoosier.
It was just two games. But can you see the water digging into the dirt? Can you see the hole getting bigger, canyon-like? Could this event one day be worthy of a postcard?
Next year, Mears would love to see four or five games, pitting Indiana's best against the top teams from Illinois' south side. Wouldn't that be fun?
Imagine Lake Central playing Beecher? Or Andrean against Marian Catholic? What about Wheeler vs. Crete? Or Chesterton against Sandburg?
How about Crown Point against Homewood-Flossmoor? I think Ryan Pitcock would buy a ticket for this.
Like the Big Ten-ACC challenge, this would be a great day for fans from both states to come out, support their teams and do a little bragging rights' boasting.
"Ryan wanted to start playing some Illinois teams and we started talking about it," Mears said, "and this idea came up. We both think it would be a lot of fun. It would be great for the game and something out of the ordinary for the programs and the fans."
Several of the top teams in Northwest Indiana travel to Indianapolis to find good games against fresh, different opponents. Prairie State has a nice facility and it's not far away at all.
The Steel Yard has given baseball the "RailCats High School Challenge," which has been great for area baseball teams. Softball needs a similar event. The talent in this area is extreme and deserves the State Line Clash.
Vondrak and Mears would work to schedule competitive games. Good teams at different levels would be paired up so the players and fans would see great softball.
"Wouldn't that be fun?" Vondrak said. "When we played Bloom we had a blast."
"We're envisioning a great weekend of softball," Mears said.
It all depends on you, coaches and administrators. Please contact Mears at email@example.com. He is already working to put together next year's "Clash."
He's thinking early to mid-May. But he will work with programs from both sides of the state line.
It's starting to rain. Get your cameras out.

Dogs feel no shame!
A new study suggests that no matter how guilty your dog looks, it doesn't know what your shouting about.
Behaviourists insist dogs lack shame, News24.com reported.
The guilty look - head cowered, ears back, eyes droopy - is a reaction to the tantrum you are throwing now over the damage they did hours earlier.
Dr Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A and M University's College of Veterinary Medicine and executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviourists, said to just get over it and remind oneself not to put temptation in the way next time.
One of the first scientific studies on the "guilty dog look" was conducted in 2009 by Alexandra Horowitz, an associate professor of psychology at Barnard College in New York City. One of her books, "Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know," included the findings.
In the study, she used 14 dogs, videotaping them in a series of trials and studying how they reacted when an owner left the room after telling them not to eat a treat.
When the owners returned, sometimes they knew what the dogs had done and sometimes they didn't and sometimes the dogs had eaten the treats and sometimes they hadn't.
She found that the 'look' appeared most often when owners scolded their dogs, regardless of whether the dog had disobeyed or did something for which they might or should feel guilty. It wasn't 'guilt' but a reaction to the owner that prompted the look.
"I am not saying that dogs might not feel guilt, just that the 'guilty look' is not an indication of it," she added. She also believes there is a difference between guilt and shame.

LEESBURG, Va. — There were no shouts, no whoops of joy. But the fortunes of the patients at the Loudoun Community Health Center quietly changed on Thursday morning when the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the Affordable Care Act.
The patients — including a limousine driver, a cake decorator, an owner of a cleaning business, a crafts store worker and a home health aide — did not know it yet, but the fact that the law survived meant that most of them would have health insurance, something that none of them can now afford.
"I am so happy, I have goose bumps," said Priscilla Jacques, a 53-year-old unemployed administrative assistant who had just emerged from a patient's room when she was told the news. "Thank God. I am so happy. This is really good for everyone. It really is."
Health centers like the one here play a major role under the health care law, and they are expected to treat many of the more than 30 million Americans who will be newly insured under the law. Loudoun Community Health Center received financing under the Affordable Care Act to expand to 18 patient rooms from 8.
Such health centers often offer the only medical care available for uninsured Americans. One-quarter of low-income uninsured Americans get their medical care at a community health center, said Amy Simmons, a spokeswoman for the National Association of Community Health Centers.
The court "made the right ruling," said Samantha Nastick, 31, whose part-time jobs at a crafts store and an assisted-living home do not offer health care benefits. Her family is grappling with serious health problems: her older sister has multiple sclerosis, and a younger sister was born with spina bifida. A new set of rules that require health coverage comes as a relief. "I'm hoping the law will make it so that we can get that stuff fixed," she said.
Once a rural farming area, Loudoun County has exploded with development over the last few decades, and it is now one of the country's wealthiest counties. But the recession dealt a painful blow to workers here, and the number of patients the health center serves has more than quadrupled since it opened in 2007.
"We laughed, and we shouted with joy and hugged each other," Angela Laws, a 58-year-old owner Read more…
