Blu-ray is an optical disc format used to store high-definition video as well as games. These discs are the next generation of DVDs delivering Full HD picture quality, and because they look and feel like standard DVDs, they're just as easy to use. Perhaps most importantly, the menus are similar on both formats, and Blu-ray Players can playback your entire library of silver discs whether they are CD or DVD.
Blu-ray discs produce the best possible picture quality for an HDTV — even better than HD cable or satellite broadcasts. They have up to seven times the resolution of DVD. Simply put, everything looks sharper — details like skin and hair, patterns on clothing and even faces of people in the background can appear razor sharp. Blu-ray discs also provide far more accurate color, which creates richer, more lifelike pictures that feel almost three-dimensional (even without 3D technology).
Blu-ray has taken the home surround sound capabilities first heard and felt from DVD to another level. Its high-capacity format allows for more depth of sound and better support for additional speakers. Some of the new surround sound formats supported on Blu-ray, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, are basically identical to the original sound sent to theaters. So the only limitation on the sound quality is your home theater system or TV. And with home theater systems now available in every size and price range, it's easier than ever to upgrade your equipment and get a more theatrical experience at home.
Even though they are the same size and shape as DVDs, everything about Blu-ray discs has been redesigned:
Although we've come to expect video extras such as commentary and "making of" content from DVDs, select Blu-ray players offer innovative new features that help the studios get us into their shows and movies in entirely new ways — like extra audio tracks and video overlays with additional content that is relevant to what is on the screen.
Newer Blu-ray players connect to the Internet to go beyond the contents of Blu-ray discs and support apps for streaming video on demand from the Internet, such as Netflix, Blockbuster and Hulu.
Other types of supported apps include customized Internet radio from Pandora, and news and weather apps from sources like AccuWeather and the BBC. Support for applications depends on the make and model of the Blu-ray player, but apps are quickly becoming a standard feature that can bring great convenience and selection to the content at your fingertips.
In general, you will see a big benefit in picture quality if you are watching Blu-ray on any HDTV. The one thing you'll want to ensure if you are buying a Blu-ray player for a slightly older HDTV is that your player and TV have matching connections.
Blu-ray and HDTVs were literally designed for each other. The best and easiest way to connect a Blu-ray player to a TV is using an HDMI connection, which provides the highest-quality signal over a single cable with a flat end. All Blu-ray players have HDMI outputs and all newer HDTVs have HDMI inputs.
If you don't have an HDMI input on your HDTV, a component input is an older option that can still provide excellent HD quality from your player. Component video connections use three round cables with red, blue and green ends next to each other. Any HDTV without HDMI has one or more component inputs. If you need to use a component connection with your TV, make sure that the Blu-ray player you buy has a component output (some newer Blu-ray players don't).
As mentioned above, the latest Blu-ray players are designed to take advantage of the Internet, with special internet-connected features on certain discs, and support of video streaming and other apps. Beyond those features, Blu-ray discs featuring new software or features sometimes require players to update themselves over the Internet. If your cable or DSL modem is not near your TV to make a cable connection convenient, look for Blu-ray players with built-in Wi-Fi, which can connect to your home wireless network with minimal effort.
In summary, Blu-ray is the high-definition replacement for DVD, and it takes full advantage of the capabilities of HDTVs and the Internet to deliver higher-quality audio and video with better content, more features and greater convenience. If you own or are shopping for an HDTV, consider that a new Blu-ray player will let you experience the best picture and sound quality available, the best special features and the convenience of Internet-based streaming video.

I am scheduled for a breast augmentation on the 16th of this month, and I am scared that we have discussed an implant size that is too small. I am 5'5" and 112 lbs. I currently can't fill an A cup from Victoria's Secret if my life depended on it... the implant will be under the muscle and possibly 325ccs. I understand that I have a small frame, but I want to be sure that I end up with a full beautiful shape that is at least a full C cup. Any advice?
Is the Implant Size Too Small?
Doctor Answers 20
Implant size
It is hard to tell whether you will be a small C or full C. I usually tell my patients not to be preoccupied by cc; depending on bra companies, the bra size varies a lot. For instance, one can be a full C in Victoria Secret's bra when she can wear a B bra in Soma. You should try on silicone sizers or rice test to see whether 325cc would make you happy.
Breast Implant Size
You did not give your chest circumference, but with your other measurements, it should be small. Now it is impossible to predict bra cup size, as they vary from one manufacturer to another. In the past, though, in someone measuring 30 inches around under the breasts, 100 cc equaled one bra cup size. If you put the implant under the muscle, you needed to add about 10% more. Many people your size have been very pleased with an implant around 325 cc. It is best to discuss your preferences at length with your surgeon.
Breast Implant Size
w do I select the appropriate breast implant size?
This is a decision you and your surgeon will make together. It is important to understand that there is not a wide range of implant sizes and profiles that will look natural in each individual patient. Given your height, weight and preoperative breast profile, there really is a limited range of implants sizes and profiles that will produce a full - but natural - breast appearance. So it is important to establish from the beginning whether or not you and the surgeon that you have selected have the same aesthetic vision. One of the best ways to do this is by reviewing the surgeon's 'before and after' photos.
Implant 'profile' refers to how wide an implant is (base diameter) compared to how much forward projection it has (height). The implant manufacturers use different terms to describe these profiles, but in essence there are three types: low profile (wide base diameter / modest projection), intermediate profile (less wide, more projecting) and high profile (even narrower diameter, very projecting). If the goal is a full but natural-appearing breast enhancement, almost all patients need a low- or intermediate-profile implant. A 'deflated' appearing breast with little forward projection usually looks best with a intermediate profile implant, while a more youthful-appearing breast with some natural, inherent projection often looks best with a low profile implant - especially in a slender patient with an athletic frame. There are very few patients that need a high profile implant, at least not if the goal of surgery is a natural-appearing breast enhancement. The combination of narrow base diameter and high projection is really an implant style that is more suited to breast reconstruction than breast augmentation.
Ultimately, you will have to put your faith and trust in the surgeon you have selected. Communication is key, so be certain that you and your surgeon have the same idea of what a beautiful breast looks like. And make sure that your surgeon takes the time and effort in the operating room to use sterile breast implant 'sizers' to determine the implant size and profile that is ideal for you personally. A good breast augmentation surgeon goes into the O.R. with a good idea of what implant size and profile will work best for a patient, but makes the final decision using implant sizers. Breasts are often asymmetrical in size and shape, and the chest wall may also be asymmetrical in terms of its forward projection on each side, so in some cases a surgeon may need to use implants of different size and/or projection. The only way for a plastic surgeon to ensure that a breast augmentation result is full but natural-appearing, and as close to symmetrical as possible, is to evaluate the appearance of a variety of sizers in the operating room with the OR table raised into an upright, sitting position. Your surgeon should keep a full inventory of implant sizes and profiles in the surgery center, so that the implant choice is never limited by 'what is available'.

Breast Implant size for A cup to C cup
Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted.
Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra.
That being said, bra manufacturers are not held to any uniform standards when it comes to cup size and shape... that is why one brand of bra might fit you very well for a given size, but not another brand. Or, you wear a 34D in a Victoria's Secret bra, and a 34C in another brand, for example.
When discussing breast size after augmentation, outward projection can be further determined by the "profile" of the implant. High school geometry: Height (projection) times Width (base width). A Higher Profile implant will give you a larger cup size for less volume than a Moderate Profile implant.
Furthermore, a saline implant looks bigger than a silicone implant of the same volume. That is because a saline implant is more oval (round on both top and base), while a silicone implant is flat on the base.
Some plastic surgery books have proposed the following parameters for breast augmentation:
32 bra: 100-200 ml per cup size
34 bra: 150-250 ml per cup size
36 bra: 200-300 ml per cup size
38 bra: 250-350 ml per cup size

Implant size and cup size
Implant sizing is the most commonly asked question in regards to breast augmentation on this forum. To size an implant, your plastic surgeon takes into account your breast anatomy, chest anatomy, and your desired goals. However, matching bra cup sizes exactly is due to the fact that cup sizes are not standardized. A "C" cup from one manufacturer may be a "D" cup from another. Also, 325cc is simply the volume of the implant. A high profile 325cc implant has a much different look than a moderate profile 325cc implant. If you are still unsure of the implant size, why not schedule another appointment with your plastic surgeon before surgery to review the size again? Being comfortable with your decision is very important as it will calm post-surgical anxiety and concerns. Also, it is important to remember that in the weeks following surgery, your breast size will be larger due to swelling and that it will take you some time to adjust to the new implants.

Breast implant size.
The volume of the implant, 325cc, is less important than the dimensions (diameter and projection) in determining whether or not the implant is the right size for you. The right size depends on many factors, and your requested size (full C) will probably be accomplished by the selected implant, or perhaps slightly larger. The best possible result involves not only the right size, but a shape that you like and is proportionate with your body, satisfactory implant positioning, a soft natural texture, good symmetry, imperceptible scar, preservation of nipple sensation, implant factors (wrinkling, rippling, edge visibility and palpability) minimized, lack of animation, etc. The larger you go, the more of your final breast will be implant, and thus, the more your breast will look, feel, and behave like an implant (and less like a natural breast). At 5'5", 112 lbs. with little breast tissue, you want mid-range profile prostheses to get to a C cup. Provided the 325 cc implant diameter matches your base width, your surgeon has probably made a good choice for you.

Implant Size Too Small
It is ultimately your decision what size you would like to be. Everyone has their own picture of perfection or of how they will look. I always have my patients do the rice test before deciding on a final size. Try not to concentrate too much at the CC's at this point. Do the rice test with an open mind and fill the stocking to what you feel makes you like what you see in the mirror. This is all a matter of perspective. If you need more information on the rice test it is on this website or you can Google it. Basically, you will long grain white rice and a knee two knee high stockings. I cup of rice is equal to 250 cc's. Good Luck!
Implant size should mostly depend on what YOUR expectations are.
The choice of implant size should mostly depend on what YOUR expectations are.
You should be evaluated by a physician in order to get their recommendations regarding what size range would be possible, but ultimately I allow my patients to choose their own size because they are the ones that have to live with it.
If you closed your eyes right now you could probably picture the result that you want to have. As part of my consultation my patients try on implant in order to show me exactly what they expect as a result. I only give them professional guidance regarding the range of implant sizes they can use.

Choosing the right breast implant size for you
The size of the final breast augmentation result is usually the most important thing that most women think about when undergoing the procedure. While bra size is the common method when discussing implant size, it is a rather vague concept to some degree. What is a C cup to one woman may not be to another. Therefore, it is important to have a visual reference. I would go in for a final sizing appointment and bring with you some photos of postoperative breast augmentation results that you like. Help your plastic surgeon have a better understanding of what you think a C cup is.
Breast Implant Sizing
Your question is a common one we see here on Real Self...unfortunately, there is absolutely no way a plastic surgeon can give you advice in a forum like this without having the ability to see your actual photos let alone examine you. When we evaluate a patient for breast augmentation, we look at the overall beginning shape of the breast, skin quality (loose or tight), width of the breast and chest together...and we interview the patient to ascertain their individual goals. This takes time and a face to face evaluation I think...I use, in addition to the techniques my fellow responders use in their clinics (sizers in sports bras, etc), a 3 D imaging computer. This lets me, again face to face, sit down with each patient and review what they might look like with a breast implant...we look at all the options available. It gives me the opportunity to see what the patient thinks of what I recommend and then they can modify size, style and projection characteristics with me.
A face to face "consultation" with your surgeon is INVALUABLE....bras are manufactured without uniformity; a C cup at one store is not a C cup somewhere else. So can't completely promise specific bra size, just best ball-park. Surgeon experience will also help with this issue.
See your surgeon again to discuss sizing....see him or her as many times as you want/can for that matter until you are comfortable. Bring in photos of desired result..your sage surgeon will review feasibility of your goals and these can act as template to choose appropriate the most implant.
Hope this helps and isn't adding confusion!

An ovine in vitro model for chondrocyte-based scaffold-assisted cartilage grafts

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research 2012, 7:37 doi:10.1186/1749-799X-7-37Published: 9 November 2012
Scaffold-assisted autologous chondrocyte implantation is an effective clinical procedure for cartilage repair. From the regulatory point of view, the ovine model is one of the suggested large animal models for pre-clinical studies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the in vitro re-differentiation capacity of expanded ovine chondrocytes in biomechanically characterized polyglycolic acid (PGA)/fibrin biomaterials for scaffold-assisted cartilage repair.
Ovine chondrocytes harvested from adult articular cartilage were expanded in monolayer and re-assembled three-dimensionally in PGA-fibrin scaffolds. De- and re-differentiation of ovine chondrocytes in PGA-fibrin scaffolds was assessed by histological and immuno-histochemical staining as well as by real-time gene expression analysis of typical cartilage marker molecules and the matrix-remodelling enzymes matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) -1, -2 and −13 as well as their inhibitors. PGA scaffolds characteristics including degradation and stiffness were analysed by electron microscopy and biomechanical testing.
Histological, immuno-histochemical and gene expression analysis showed that dedifferentiated chondrocytes re-differentiate in PGA-fibrin scaffolds and form a cartilaginous matrix. Re-differentiation was accompanied by the induction of type II collagen and aggrecan, while MMP expression decreased in prolonged tissue culture. Electron microscopy and biomechanical tests revealed that the non-woven PGA scaffold shows a textile structure with high tensile strength of 3.6 N/mm2 and a stiffness of up to 0.44 N/mm2, when combined with gel-like fibrin.
These data suggest that PGA-fibrin is suited as a mechanically stable support structure for scaffold-assisted chondrocyte grafts, initiating chondrogenic re-differentiation of expanded chondrocytes.

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet!!!
Bubba: GUESS WHAT MOMMY!!!??
Me: What Bubba?
Bubba: We're going to SESAME STREET!!!
What a way to start a weekend! We got up early and got all the kids ready. Between Mia screaming for us to put her boots on and Bubba not listening to anyone, I was surprised to get out of the house on time. Bug was asleep in his swing, so that must have been the only reason things worked out so well. Packed into the car, and a quick stop for coffee and we were on our way.
Parking was pretty easy and close by. Once we got up to the will call we had our tickets and in we went. They had the booths with all the toys that cost a pretty penny right out front, soon as you walked in. But there was so much going on that it was easy to distract the kiddos and walk right by to our seats. Once there we waited for the show to start. One by one all our favorite characters came out. Bubba was so happy and made the best faces when he recognized one of his favorite characters from Sesame Street. As with many kids his age Elmo is his favorite. Mia was so mesmerized by popcorn and dancing that she sat on daddy's lap and started to sing along. Well, as much as a 23 month old does. I was really worried that she wouldn't sit still for the show. But she did amazing! I think most of that has to do with what a good show it was.
Even as adults my husband and I had a blast. The songs were sung to the tunes of songs that we knew. I think "It's raining cookies" sang to the tune of "It's raining men" was the best. My hubby and I were laughing and clapping with the kids. It's so great as a parent to watch the wonder of a show like this on your child's face. Every time Bubba or Mia got excited and clapped or yelled back at a character I couldn't help but have the biggest smile on my face.
Even with all the hectic rush of trying to get three young kids ready to leave the house, I am so glad we went. If you're wondering if it's worth it…IT SO IS!!! You still have time for shows tomorrow. If you're not in Washington State, Sesame Street may be coming to a town near you! Click here to check out where they will be next.
When Elmo gets his furry fingers on Abby Cadabby's magic wand, there's something in the air – and Sesame Street becomes a nonstop, all-singing, all-dancing musical montage! Grover and Baby Bear sing their highs and lows, Cookie Monster sings fast and slow, Bert and Ernie converse in song and Murray makes mouth music for all to sing along! Learn why it feels good to sing a song, but why it feels good to stop, too! What will Elmo learn about the power of musical magic? Join the conga line of fun to find out!
LOOK! We must be on the right path!!!
Before the show started. The stage looked amazing.
I thought I forgot the Gold Fish in my car. So I got popcorn for the kids. Later I found the fish in my purse. Silly mama!
Bug Woke up long enough to watch the first half of the show. He was even "talking" back. He really enjoyed it.
Mia LOVES her popcorn. Make sure you keep your fingers away from her mouth!!
The kid in me just loved it when all the characters were on stage. I couldn't help but be a bit excited.
Ohhh ohhh and Oscar!!
All in all it was a great show with an intermission in between. Not because it was that long but because they know children. It gave everyone a chance for potty breaks and food breaks. I so hope I'm invited to do something like this again. Now when someone asks me " Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame street" I can tell them!!
Can't stop singing, Can't stop singing, can't stop singing!!~Amanda

Ghana FA spokesman Ibrahim Sannie feels sad over negative media reportage
By Patrick Akoto
Ghana FA spokesman Ibrahim Sannie Daara feels saddened by how a section of the local media have negatively portrayed him despite excelling in his role.
The world-respected journalist was appointed in 2012 to manage the communication outfit of the Ghanaian FA and has so far discharged his duties to admiration.
However, the award-winning ex-BBC journalist has not been spared the brunt of criticism from a tiny minority of local media who have questioned his modus operandi.
Sannie was headhunted for his ability after working in the local media and international media for 17 years and only accepted the job offer after turning it down on three occasions.
The top class journalist has distinguished himself admirably, spreading information about the FA evenly to all media houses spread across the hook and cranny of the African country and he feels the constant criticism of his style is unfortunate.
"It is so sad, I feel extremely sad". He is quoted by Ghanasportsonline.com
"I don't want to compare my administration to anyone else but you all must compare what has happened in the past and make your judgment.
"Look at the relationship I have created between us, look at the opportunities we have created for some of you who don't travel to tournaments to have audio interviews and all that.
"Look at the honesty and selflessness with which I have served you all the time, I have to wake up at 4am to start granting interviews to every radio station regardless of the status and still the media don't seem to realise my service.
"Sometimes I'm honest to let them know what I know and what I don't know but the person will still want to pin you as to why you don't have any knowledge about an issue with the FA but I'm not a repository of knowledge".
"At a point, I will leave the job, at a point I will leave this job."
There are those who feel some of Daara's harsh critics are envious of the position he holds with some of them believed to have failed in their bid to get picked for the same job when it became vacant.
He will surely not lack offers if he decides to quit the job due to his achievements, extensive knowledge, experience ,expertise and international links.
He is one of Sannie is one of Ghana's famous football journalists having worked for the BBC for eight years and has a huge experience on the local media scene.
He has won several awards in the journalism profession including the FPA Award in the UK which is the crowning achievement of any journalist's career.
Sannie holds a masters degree in International Journalism from Cardiff University in the United Kingdom.

John Moore and his daughter were going to see the new Superman movie for Father's Day.
But a baby was born at a hospital with drugs in his system. Moore was on call. He had to go be someone else's hero.
John Moore and his daughter were going to see the new Superman movie for Father's Day.
But a baby was born at a hospital with drugs in his system. Moore was on call. He had to go be someone else's hero.
Moore is a father to 15-year-old Travonna, but he has second set of children to care for: the kids on his caseload.
As a child welfare specialist with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Moore works a thankless job for little pay at an agency that people love to hate.
"We're kind of looked at as law enforcement without the badge and the gun," Moore said. "Most people have a really negative belief about DHS, and I hate to say some of it's merited, from some of our history, but I really do believe that that culture is changing."
DHS is Oklahoma's largest state agency, with a budget of $2 billion, the bulk of it from federal money.
It is an agency in transition. After settling a class-action civil rights lawsuit against its foster care system last year, DHS has agreed to make changes, like increasing its child welfare workers' salaries, paying its foster families better and recruiting additional foster families to keep more children out of shelters.
Beyond the bureaucracy and debates at the state Capitol, there are the child welfare specialists, the case workers on the ground, working 8- to 16-hour days, trying their best to make the right decisions for every child. No one claims it's easy, and no claims they're 100 percent right every time.
Chapter 1: The investigation
Near lunch time, Moore walks into an Edmond elementary school, carrying his black bag that reads "Speak Up For Oklahoma's Children" in red letters. He shows his badge to the receptionist in the school's office lobby, and she calls for a female student, about 8 years old. When the girl arrives, she and Moore quickly head to a conference down a hallway in the back of the office.
Meanwhile, parents file into the office, bringing in Taco Bell and Chick-fil-A for their kids' lunches. There's a line of children waiting to call their parents. One girl needs money for lunch. Parents and children continue the normal lunchtime routine. Hidden behind the conference room door, the girl outlines to Moore the domestic violence she sees at home.
Last year, DHS received more than 68,000 reports of alleged child abuse or neglect of almost 116,000 children in Oklahoma. The agency found more than 5,500 of those reports to be substantiated, equaling almost 10,000 children being neglected or abused.
Moore works in Child Protective Services, part of DHS' Child Welfare Services division. He is among the first to meet children who might be suffering at the hands of adults.
A report might come to his office from the DHS abuse and neglect hotline — 1-800-522-3511 — or sometimes from police. His job is to interview children and then talk with their parents and other adults in the children's lives to better understand the situation.
"You do all you can do, and sometimes, you miss something," Moore said. "That's every child welfare worker's worst nightmare."
Over the years, media reports have shown that some DHS workers do not do all they can. Names like Serenity Deal and Kelsey Smith-Briggs, who both died of abuse, drum up images and stories of children where something was undoubtedly missed.
When a child dies in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Child Death Review Board looks over cases. The cases they review did not necessarily occur in the year they reviewed them.
In the board's 2012 review, it reported that two children died in foster care and another 17 children died who had an open Child Protective Services case at the time of their deaths. In 2011, the board's review showed four children in foster care at the time of their death, and 25 children who had an open Child Protective Services case at the time of their death.
Those numbers do not include near deaths. In 2012, the board reviewed and closed 15 near-death cases, including five that had a previous referral that was investigated by DHS. In 2011, the board reviewed and closed 53 near-death cases, with 16 of those having had a previous referral that was investigated by DHS.
At the Edmond school, Moore talks with the girl for about 20 minutes. They come out of the office, and her ponytail bobs as she heads back to class.
"She told me graphically how mom runs, gets the knife, dad runs behind her, mom turned and tried to cut him with the knife, and he grabbed her and he started choking her until she dropped the knife," Moore said after the interview. "No kid should be exposed to anything like that."
From here, Moore will try to work the case preventively, getting the girl's parents into domestic violence services. She might go stay with a relative until her parents are more stable. But if they refuse to work with him, he might have to involve a district attorney.
Before he came to DHS, Moore ran a cleaning business and volunteered in prison ministries. But for a long time, he had felt a calling to help people on a wider scale. And then one night in 2004, his 17-year-old stepson was shot and killed.
Delonte's death, in some ways, compelled Moore to become a DHS worker. He tells new workers, No, this job doesn't pay the best, the hours are long, and it can be emotionally draining.
"But if you have the heart for it, you'll love it," he said. "If you're just doing it for a job, you're probably not going to stick around very long."
Chapter 2: The interviews
Latasha Granillo has seen the child welfare cases that society would rather pretend don't exist.
Driving by, a person likely wouldn't notice the house where Granillo worked or suspect that this is the street where some of the worst child abuse and neglect cases in Oklahoma County are investigated.
The street is the undisclosed home to multiple agencies that all focus on child crimes. Granillo regularly is at the CARE Center, a facility where child victims and child perpetrators undergo forensic interviews.
In a forensic interview, a trained expert will ask a child non-leading questions to determine whether any abuse occurred. In the end, it's up to the children to tell whether they were abused.
"The minute it starts becoming too traumatic, they'll end it, regardless," Granillo said. "There may be something that happened, but this kid just isn't ready to tell us right now."
For Granillo, the hardest part is when she knows something likely happened to a child, but the child isn't ready to tell anyone. When she's working with a cooperative parent, she can sometimes get the child into counseling, where they might grow more comfortable talking about what happened.
But if the child's parent or guardian won't admit anything happened, Granillo is sometimes left at a place where she can't do much of anything.
"We can try our hardest to try and get on the same level with the parents, which usually I can, but at times, you can't," she said.
Physical signs of abuse are not visible in about 90 percent of cases, she said. So, in some cases, the forensic interview might provide the only evidence that Granillo could use as evidence in court.
In one of Granillo's cases, part of the evidence was a video of a toddler being raped by a man who had multiple victims, including the toddler's mother. When Granillo went to an apartment complex to remove the child, family members and residents were outside, screaming at her.
"They were calling out, 'You're the devil. How do you sleep at night? You're evil, evil, evil. How could you do this?' And just really attacking me, DHS, for removing this child, and I just was thinking in the back of my head, 'Oh my God, you have no idea what this child has been through,'" Granillo said.

365 Things to Do in Memphis #142: Eat a Burger Fried in 100 Year Old Grease
As Memphians, we take our fried food seriously. Few, though, take it more seriously than the crew at Dyer's. They're so committed that they fry each one of their burgers in grease that has been lovingly preserved and used for 100 years.
Assignment #142 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis is to eat a Dyer burger.
As far as I can tell, the legend of the 100 year old grease is true.
When the diner moved to Beale Street, the sacred grease came, too. Every time a new batch of grease is needed, some of the old grease is mixed in with it. Every night at closing time, the grease in the pan is covered with a lid. Every morning, the grease is strained and seasoned. Dyer's is serious about the grease.
If you go to Dyer's expecting a big, thick patty with lots of lettuce and tomatoes., you're going to be disappointed. If you're looking for a good, thin, fried Southern burger (the kind with a ton of pickle slices, mustard and onion), you're in the right place.
Dyer's is open daily from 11 a.m. until 2 a.m.

In this interview with SUCCESS NWOGU, a former member of the House of Representatives, representing Lagos Mainland Federal Constituency, Mr. Bashiru Bolarinwa, speaks on the crisis in Rivers State and other issues
What is your take on the crisis in Rivers State, especially the allegations that the police are shielding hoodlums, who are committing atrocities against supporters of Governor Rotimi Amaechi?
It is quite unfortunate that this kind of a thing is happening at this time. I am using this opportunity to appeal to President Goodluck Jonathan, to quickly do everything within his power to make sure that the situation is put under control and peace return.
Already, the Boko Haram insurgency is there. Government claimed several times that the problem was going to be resolved, that it has put every machinery in place, but it appears from what we see that the government is not in any way on top of the situation, contrary to what it tries to make us believe.
The sporadic bombing and attack allegedly by the police and militants are not good. We should not forget that just some weeks ago, former President Olusegun Obasanjo wrote to President Jonathan. In the letter, this kind of thing was one of the security challenges he mentioned.
What about the bomb attacks on court premises?
President Jonathan should find a way of digging deep into the courts' burning and unearth the culprits so that there will not be a recurrence. The whole world is watching him especially on the issue of Rivers State, considering what is going on between him and the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi.
There is this fear that if the situation is not well managed, it might snowballed into something bigger, which may threaten the peace and corporate existence of Nigeria. What is your take on this?
God forbid! If there is any crisis in any part of the country, especially during this period that many interests are springing up, nobody can actually predict the extent to which it will go. Any part of the country that there is a problem, I think he must ensure that solution is provided.
How will you react to claims that those in the APC are strange bed fellows?
Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. When you do this kind of thing, you expect people to criticise here and there. But those that decided to adopt this method must have their reasons for doing that. By the time the chips are down, every other thing will fall into place.
Do you think the power sharing deal with the five PDP governors, who defected to the All Progressives Congress will work?
I am a member of APC and there are different levels of operation. So also, there are leaders whom I think their views should be respected. But that is not to say that they are infallible. Where we feel that they are not doing what they are supposed to do, there is still nothing wrong with trying to get them to know.
It is a very good thing that they have gone out of their way to woo people into the party. It is said that 'the more the merrier.' But at the same time, I think that there must be discussion as well, because first and foremost, one of the things they must consider is that the coming of these people should not be at the expense of the members of APC. We know that if they were comfortable where they were, they would not in any way have left. Well having left and came over to APC, there is nothing wrong with it.
I am using this opportunity to appeal to our leaders that whatever the arrangement they want to make, the original members of APC must be protected. As a matter of fact, if the party did not offer bright chances, they would not have come. That is why they have come to APC and not necessarily that they like the faces of our dear leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, General Muhammadu Buhari and some others. Otherwise, if they felt that they can, on their own, win elections or that there are other parties, why did they not join them? But I must repeat that their coming is good and we will not question the decision of our leaders but that is still not to say that the interest of the original members of the party must not be considered.
There appears to be a disagreement between the Dele Belgore faction and that of Bukola Saraki over the speculated handing over of the APC structure in Kwara State to Saraki. What is the situation?
It is not only Belgore faction in APC that has a disagreement with Bukola Saraki. We should not forget that I was in the Peoples Democratic Party and that I came second in the governorship primaries in Kwara State. Not only that, I still led a large number of members of the original PDP members, those who were the PDP members even before Saraki, to the party and we constituted our own faction.
Our own group too is not happy with the situation because we have also been members of the party before Bukola Saraki and his followers decided to join the APC. We are also of the opinion that there must be equitable distribution of the party position. Almost every individual in the party is important not to talk of even somebody like me who came second in the PDP primaries and also have some sizeable number of followers in the state.
Only those who are ready to bow before Saraki are the people he is ready to partner with. APC members are not in any way safe if he is given the party structure. What happened in the state recently must be a case study, to tell them the type of person Saraki is regarding the issue of Prof. Shuaib AbdulRaheem-Oba and the controversy that greeted his confirmation for the second term as the Chairman of the Federal Character Commission, before he eventually succeeded in getting the position.
I am using this opportunity to make the appeal to the leaders of our party that they should come to our rescue. Nobody is saying that Saraki should not be admitted to the party; I do not have the power and nobody has the power to resist his entry. Like I said, he is welcome. But we must not be left in his hands because if that is done, that will mean that even the interest of the original party members are being jettisoned. That is the appeal I am making.
There are speculations that General Muhammadu Buhari might be fielded as the presidential candidate of APC and that APC is already shopping for his running mate. Do you see Buhari as the right candidate for the party?
I do not want to rely solely on what I read in the newspapers regarding who APC is going to field as presidential candidate. I am aware that the party has a constitution and that it must hold congresses and convention to elect its presidential candidate. Until that time when events will unfold, I think, that is when we will actually know who is given the mantle.
But do you think that Buhari is the right person to lead Nigeria to the Promised Land?
I do not think that there is anything wrong with General Buhari as an APC member being the President of the country. General Buhari, apart from having been the Head of the State in the past, I think he has had his fair share of experience of the Nigerian terrain and he had had cause to contest on different platforms in the past for the same presidential office. He did that under ANPP and the Congress for Progressive Change. But I still know that there are still contenders in the party. It is the person that eventually wins at the end of the day that will be the flag bearer of the party.

Posted by Tebo
Good morning and Thank You for opportunity to convey my deepest appreciation and sense of justice available to my ability to convey.
I want to give thanks and convey my appreciation for the good work, honest perseverance and uplifting goals of this legal defense team of Daniel Hempey and Staff.
Some significant professional qualities would be listed as Intuitive, Persevering Loyal, Impeccable, Intelligent and Pleasant. The Citizen's best defense and rescue in the face of errant or corrupt legal dilemma.
Posted by Mark
Dan Hempy represented me in a completely professionally competent manner. He handled my case extremely well in all respects and looking back I'm grateful I found him when I did.
Posted by a Domestic Violence client
Daniel Hempey and the team at his practice saved my life.
I had been terribly assualted by a person with bi-polar disorder with a history of self mutilation. After he attacked me, he inflicted wounds and basically, created a crime scene. Immediately after the attack I contacted the police for help.
That was where my problems began.The aggressor came from an influential family. A few days later, The Kauai deputy prosecutor, Lawrence Strauss, called me and tried to intimidate me to drop charges. When I finally received a copy of the police report it was completely incorrect. When I refused to drop charges, Strauss dropped the charges against the aggressor and then raised the charges against me.
Being victimized by the system which I felt was there to help me was worse than the assault.
I felt desperate and suicidal.
Hempey's office first did not want to take my case. It's a small island and Strauss had told them lies about the evening of the assault.
I convinced his office to take my case and of my innocence. They believed me. I cannot tell you how powerful this was and still is.
Daniel Hempey really fought for me. He didn't give up and continued to advocate on my behalf. Eventually he filed motions for "vindictive and impermissible selective prosecution".
It's important to mention that Hempey defended me for a price that was unbelievably fair for the representation I received.
The charges were dropped. Lawrence Strauss lost his job. I'm not sure if his firing was directly related to my case but what he did to me was criminal. He should have never been given that authority. I never believed something like this could happen to a woman in the US, but it did. Hopefully by having Strauss gone, women in Kauai will be safer. I hope no woman has to suffer what I did.
Daniel Hempey put justice into the legal system.
I feel and will always feel deeply indebted and grateful. He save my life.

"Dance Flick" (2009)
Want to see a newborn infant getting their moves on out on the dance floor? If you do, you are in a distinct minority. That disturbing image is the only notable thing about this alleged parody of teen dance movies. There are plenty of clichés that could be skewered from these type of movies, but "Dance Flick" hits all the wrong beats.
"Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th" (2000)
The whole gist of this direct-to-video disaster is a killer being frustrated by his inability to kill a bunch of clueless teens before they die from various natural causes and accidents. it ended up being a lame attempt to cash in on the new slasher craze sparked by "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" upon their releases. Let's face it: any movie with Tom Arnold as the lead is just not that funny. The only saving grace this movie had was a pre -"Dexter" Julie Benz and post "Saved By The Bell" Tiffani Thiessen.
Consider posting a comment.

Turkey Accused of Killing Kurd Leader — Trying to Trigger Civil War in Syria
Posted By kurtnimmo On October 9, 2011 @ 3:55 pm In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Tony Cartalucci
October 9, 2011
Turkey a NATO member, and notorious butchers of the Kurdish people not only within their borders but well beyond them, including multiple incursions into Iraq in 2007, 2008, and 2010, with tank battalions as well as air strikes on "suspected" militant targets on both sides of the border, has played a role in the assassination of Syrian-Kurdish leader Mashaal Tammo according to Kurdish activists. Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that Kurdish Party leaders accused Turkish intelligence of assassinating Tammo, aiming to ignite sedition throughout the northern province of Hasaka. Hasaka Province conveniently shares a borders with Turkey – a border Turkey has systematically militarized in its decades long war against the Kurdish people. It is also a border Turkey is now conducting "military exercises" along in an overt threat to Syria, Voice of America reports. Turkey and its Western sponsors are now hoping the resulting chaos will trigger an armed Kurdish uprising in Syria against the Assad government and be the "tipping point" in an otherwise stalled 7 month-long destabilization attempt.
The assassination was also complemented by mystery gunmen who opportunistically attacked Tammo's funeral procession, killing several attendees and further provoking Syria's Kurd minority to rise up in violence. Details of the shootings were filtered through the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a notorious propaganda front whose second-hand reports are faithfully repeated by Western media outlets as "fact." The expediency with which propagandists at BBC and the US State Department concluded the shootings were the work of the Syrian government further lends suspicion over who indeed carried out the assassination and the subsequent shootings at Tammo's funeral – a dream scenario for Western nations bent on ousting Assad by collapsing Syrian society into a Libyan-style civil war.
It should be noted, that out of Syria's opposition movement, Mashaal Tammo was one of the few leaders opposing foreign meddling in Syria's affairs, going as far as not attending an opposition confab held in Turkey on this basis. It should be further noted that of all of Syria's minorities, the Kurds have so far not joined in large scale protests. Western corporate-funded think tanks and media outlets have been fantasizing over the prospect of Kurdish militants joining the US-funded uprising, despite what, up until now, appeared to be their neutral stance. The Wall Street Journal's "Kurds Look Beyond Assad, With Dreams of Autonomy" acknowledged the muted role the Kurds were playing in the uprising and their hesitation to make wider commitments. Tammo's assassination may just have been the geopolitical ploy necessary to spur the Kurds past this point of hesitation.
After months of stalled, now failing armed opposition against the Syrian government through the Muslim Brotherhood and an assortment of Al-Qaeda linked militant groups, the West is exhibiting an almost palpable madness in pursuit of war with Syria. Western propaganda networks, including BBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera and contrived "human rights advocacy" fronts fully funded by corporate-financier special interests have been caught fabricating in whole, stories of atrocities being perpetrated by the Assad government. One activist reported by Soros-funded Amnesty International (page 10) to have been "brutally murdered in custody" turned up alive and well. Amnesty International would later reveal just how tenuous the information was behind what was essentially baseless, sensationalized propaganda aimed at the Syrian government. After a failed UN resolution, vetoed outright by Russia and China, and receiving no votes from other BRIC nations, more desperate measures are sure to follow, including the increasing prospect of unilateral military action taken by Turkey, on behalf of NATO and its corporate sponsors.

As we enter 2013, we would like to update you on the importance of reviewing your application, background check procedures, employment policies and employee handbook for compliance with the changing laws in these areas. Considering the developments in 2012, we anticipate that, in 2013, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will continue its heightened focus on employment policies and compliance with the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and other federal and state regulators will concentrate on the enforcement of laws governing applications and background check procedures.
In 2012, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued new enforcement guidance on arrest and conviction records, which narrows the circumstances under which applicants may be excluded based on arrest or conviction records. We advise employers to amend any question on their employment application regarding criminal offenses, and their hiring procedures, to conform with the following example:
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense? Do not include convictions that were sealed, eradicated or expunged, or convictions that resulted in referral to a diversion program.
Saying "yes" is not a bar to employment at [COMPANY NAME]. Please provide additional information in the space below or an extra sheet, if necessary. [COMPANY NAME] will make an individualized assessment of the information provided, taking into account factors including, but not limited to, the nature of the crime, the time elapsed, the facts and circumstances surrounding conviction, the nature of the job applied for and business necessity.
In 2012, a number of state legislatures considered legislation affecting an employer's ability to run credit checks on employees or applicants, indicating increased regulatory attention to this employment practice. Currently, state statutes regulate credit checks by employers in California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. Also, the EEOC has cautioned that pre-employment inquiries into credit ratings may have a disparate impact on certain racial groups and women, in violation of Title VII.
As of January 1, 2013, employers are required to use new Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) disclosures in connection with background check procedures. The responsibility for issuing certain FCRA disclosures was transferred from the Federal Trade Commission to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the CFPB amended the disclosures to refer consumers and employers to the CFPB for assistance. Relevant to employers are the changes to the attached "Notice to Users of Consumer Reports: Obligations of Users Under the FCRA," which background check providers are required to provide to employers who procure consumer reports, and the attached "Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act," which employers are required to provide to applicants and employees with an FCRA disclosure and authorization form when the employer obtains an investigative consumer report and with any pre-adverse action notice sent when an employer intends to rely on information contained in a background check report to make an employment decision.
Also, employers often include a release of liability on their FCRA Disclosure and Authorization forms. However, in a 2012 case, a federal district court in the District of Maryland denied the employer's motion to dismiss a lawsuit that was brought regarding its background checks, in part because the employer included a release of liability on its Disclosure and Authorization form. Due to this case, we recommend that employers include a release on a document separate from the Disclosure and Authorization form, such as the employment application. For example:
I understand that, per the separate Disclosure, Notice and Authorization of Intent to Obtain a Consumer Report, [COMPANY NAME] and/or its agents may procure a consumer report and/or an investigative consumer report in connection with my application for employment and throughout the course of my employment. I hereby release all persons, companies or other entities furnishing such information from liability and responsibility in connection herewith.
The NLRB has recently taken an aggressive stance towards reviewing employment policies for compliance with the NLRA. The NLRB has focused on non-unionized employers and has found a variety of common policies to be unlawful, including policies related to social media, electronic communications, confidentiality, internal investigations, code of ethics, non-disparagement, employee communications with the media, and solicitation and distribution at the workplace. The NLRB is likely to continue its aggressive enforcement efforts in the upcoming year. Our group has kept up-to-date on the latest NLRB decisions and we are working proactively with our clients to ensure the legality of their policies.

It was Luke Bryan's kind of night in Pittsburgh on Saturday, June 21. His That's My Kind of Night Tour stopped at Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he set an all-time country record for tickets sold, playing to more than 50,000 fans. He beat records previously set by Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift.
Luke was joined by tour opening acts Lee Brice and Cole Swindell along with Dierks Bentley who was added to the bill as a special guest for the stadium show. "Just had the most unbelievable night of my life!" Luke said after the show.
Heinz Field isn't the last stadium date for Luke. He has three more stadium dates on the calendar, including Boston's Gillette Stadium on August 10, Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on August 15, and Soldier Field in Chicago on August 31.
Luke will release his new single, "Roller Coaster," to country radio on July 14.

Polycondensation reaction of bis(hydroxyethylterephthalate)-self modeling curve resolution analysis of on-line ATR/FT-IR spectra.
In: Applied Spectroscopy (Appl.Spectrosc.), Jg. 55 (2001) ; Nr. 9, S. 1181-1191
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
This study presents a thorough qual.-quant. anal. by self-modeling curve resoln. (SMCR) methods of ATR/FT-IR spectra of the polycondensation reaction of bis(hydroxyethylterephthalate) (BHET) that yields poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) as a final product. We used five different SMCR methods to ext. pure-component spectra and concn. profiles. All the results obtained by these five methods are compared. It is shown that particular attention should be given to the scaling of the data. The spectral profiles of the species are obtained through the pure variables detd. Because of the appearance of neg. absorbances, the spectra are subjected to the alternating least-square procedure. Rank anal. of the mean centered data shows that the IR spectra of the system in the reaction vessel are predominantly detd. by those of BHET and PET, but that a small amt. of ethylene glycol (EG), which was evacuated from the reaction vessel, also contributes to the spectra.

Law School Applications / Tennessee and International Law?« on: October 19, 2009, 07:13:48 PM »
1L job search / Projects Abroad Internship?« on: October 19, 2009, 04:10:16 PM »
I haven't started law school yet but was wondering what current law students would think about this idea. I would like to do an internship abroad after finishing my first year of law school, and I am very strongly interested in international human rights law. I found an organization called Projects Abroad that offers a Law & Human Rights Internship in Morocco. You have to be able to speak high/intermediate French (which I nearly can, but have over a year to work on this) and would be placed in a private law firm to research case precedents and develop litigation, etc., etc. However, this isn't something you apply for-mostly you just pay and go, as long as your references check out. I wasn't looking to earn school credit, only to gain experience overseas in public int'l law. Is this a bad idea because it's not an offical ABA sponsored/listed/etc. opportunity? I can always do something more prestigious later on, right? I know this is far in the future but I would need to start saving now and am curious anyway. What are your thoughts? Here is the weblink:
Thanks for your input!
Law School Applications / What GPA/LSAT to get money at T2?« on: October 19, 2009, 12:19:40 AM »
Hey guys and girls. What kind of scores do you all think I would need to get offered money at a school ranked from top 50-60? I'm new to this whole idea of being offered money for law school (guess I was too worried about the LSAT to notice!) and was just curious what kind of money is out there. Thanks!
Law School Applications / 3.79 GPA/160 LSAT...Chances at TN?« on: October 18, 2009, 06:14:46 PM »
What do you guys think my chances for Tennessee are with those scores? I want to study public int'l law and have good volunteer experience, a master's degree in anthropology that I studied for in England, and (I think so!) excellent reccommendations. What do you all think? Should I be worried bc of my lower LSAT score?
Personal Statement / Different Fonts?« on: October 18, 2009, 05:49:19 PM »
I just noticed that I submitted an application where my personal statement was in Times New Roman and my essay was in Cambria font. They are pretty similar which is why it took so long for me to notice but do you think it matters? Will the law schools notice and will it make me look sloppy or inconsistent?

Millions of India's workers walked off their jobs in a two-day nationwide strike called by trade unions to protest at the 'anti-labour' policies of the embattled government. Financial services and transport were hit by the strike called by 11 major workers' groups to protest at a series of pro-market economic reforms announced by the government last year, as well as high inflation and rising fuel prices.

"Typhoon has wanted to bring us on tour for a while," says guitarist and vocalist Maggie Morris via cell phone, sitting in a car with her bandmates outside the Hi-Dive in Denver. "Finally, they told their booking agent that if we didn't get to go with them, they weren't going to go."
The tour was quite a leap forward for a band that is only a year old and was, until recently, strictly a studio project between Leisy and guitarist-vocalist Elec Morin. "The first time Steve and I played a song together," Morin says, "it was this nine-minute, layered instrumental that sounds nothing like what we do now."
These days, Youth sounds like an easygoing pop act that flirts with twee (reverb-heavy guitar and unfussy playing) while wisely avoiding the overly cute and cloying aspects that often make the genre unlistenable. The few recordings the band has leaked into the digital world feel more akin to the tanned and drowsy world of Morris' native California than our damp climes. It's a sound that dovetails nicely with the band's un-Googleable name. "The music market is targeted at a youth audience," Leisy says of their sobriquet. "So we thought we could try and capture that within the band name."
Leisy and company also cop to falling prey to the follies of youth. The band hurried out on tour only a week after finishing its debut self-released EP, June, leaving no time to get any copies pressed or even burned. "We had to do the DIY thing," Morris says, "and bought a bunch of postcards, stamping them [with a download code] and selling them on the way." (Youth promises to have actual CDs for its release show Sunday at Holocene.)
After that, the four-piece is looking at all the things a relatively new band should: more recording and touring, possibly working with a label that will help get some vinyl pressed and, maybe, driving to Austin, Texas, for SXSW. Of that last notion, the band's literal youth pops up again: Says Leisy with a laugh, "Oh, yeah! We need to get on that."
SEE IT: Youth plays Holocene on Sunday, Nov. 27, with Port St. Willow, Ben Seretan and the Early, the Woolen Men, and DJ vs. Nature. 8:30 pm. $3. 21+.

A-Z Index |
Traumatic brain injury: An insult to the brain caused by an external physical force, affecting either a specific part of the brain (focal) or more than one area (diffuse).
Atraumatic, or acquired, brain injury: A brain injury that has occurred after birth as the result of internal causes, such as stroke, aneurysm, meningitis, generally affecting more than one area of the brain.
Consequences of Brain Injury
Any brain injury can temporarily or permanently change the way a person thinks, acts, feels, and moves his or her body. In addition, it can affect involuntary bodily functions such as temperature and blood pressure regulation. In many instances, however, a person's physical appearance does not change.
Many people experience a difficult adjustment period following brain injury because they seem different to themselves, but others treat them as if they were the same. They may have subtle problems with concentration, processing speed, memory, planning and organization, and in addition, may experience depression and anxiety but not relate any of these difficulties to their brain injury. A person's failure to recognize her or his deficits may be neurologically induced, called anosognosia: Some people cognitively are incapable of understanding their functional limitations and others either do not remember, or idealize, their pre-injury capabilities.
Neuropsychological impairments caused by brain injury generally affect (1) intellect, or information processing; (2) emotionality, which involves feelings and motivations; and (3) control, or how behavior is expressed. A person who has a brain injury may experience some consequences that are apparent to other people, while other consequences may be invisible. The following lists are not exhaustive, and a person generally will experience a number of consequences concurrently. It is important to understand that while many of the consequences affecting how a person thinks, acts, and feels might appear to be something the person can change—because his or her behavior may seem intentional—they actually might be outside her or his control.
The most common problems experienced by people who have brain injuries are:
Some invisible consequences that can affect the person's functional ability may include:
