Ryan Seacrest producing music series for Telemundo
NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Seacrest will produce a new music series for the Spanish-speaking Telemundo network that will feature two established artists competing against each other for the audience's vote.
Find: Seacrest next to exit 'Idol'?
The format for "Superstar Showdown" has been successful in other countries. Emilio Romano, president of Telemundo Media, said he's hoping the "American Idol" host will use his connections and leverage to attract talent. The network hasn't publicly set a start date for the series.
Telemundo announced several of its programming plans for next season on Sunday. The network usually gets less than half of the audience of the dominant Univision, but has become more aggressive with the backing of corporate parent NBC Universal. Telemundo had its highest ratings ever during the first three months of 2013.
"We've been the underdog for so many years and we've been given the mission to fight and fight hard," Romano said.
Telemundo will air five new telenovelas next season. The prime-time soap operas, stuffed with melodrama and romance, are generally the programming backbone for Spanish-speaking networks. One new series, "Camelia la Tejana," is based on a popular song and features a young woman trying to escape from one of Mexico's most powerful drug lords.
Romano said he hopes Telemundo can distinguish itself from its competition by creating telenovelas specifically with the U.S. market in mind, instead of remaking series that originated in other countries. He hopes they will speak more to an American audience concerned about immigration issues and nostalgic for the countries they left behind.
One example he gave was last year's remake of the movie "Maid in Manhattan."
Telemundo also announced the creation of a Los Angeles-based production studio, Fluency, that will produce content for Latinos in the U.S in both Spanish and English.
Telemundo is expanding its sports coverage. The weekly show, "Titulares y Mas," will begin airing all weeknights at 11:35 p.m. The network will also start a daytime game show that pits youngsters against adults..vxp_gallery .vxp_grid .vxp_gallery_item .vxp_title {max-height:65px !important;} #bottom-article-inline-video-mod_1_ux1_1_1_1_1_2 .vxp_grid .vxp_info {height:65px;} .vxp_flexible {width:625px !important;} .vxp_th2 {border-bottom: 1px solid #333333;float: left;margin: 10px 0;padding:0 0 2px;width:635px;font-family:arial !important;font-size:18px !important;height:19px !important;color:#000000 !important;font-weight:lighter;} MsnVideoUx.render("msne_ent_article_gallery","bottom-article-inline-video-mod_1",{},{csid:"ux-hub-entertainment"})

England beat Canada to finally win Women's Rugby WC
England ended their run of three successive final defeats as they finally landed the Women's Rugby World Cup with a hard-fought 21-9 win over Canada in Paris.
England led by five points inside the final 10 minutes but Emily Scarratt barged though and raced into the corner to make sure of victory. She scored another 11 points with the boot while Danielle Waterman rounded off a first-half team try.
England's only previous success in the Women's Rugby World Cup came back in 1994. In the 20 years since, they have lost the 2002, 2006 and 2010 finals to New Zealand, but their experience and quality finally told against a Canadian side contesting their first, The BBC reported.
England women's rugby team captain Katy McLean said that they have worked so hard for this, and there are so many great legends that have gone before them that haven't won in an England shirt, and the victory is for all of them.
McLean said that it started years ago with the people that have brought them there, their family and friends. She added that they have had to work in the final, as Canada were fantastic and it's amazing to think that England did it.
The victory may well mark the end of the international career of England stalwart Maggie Alphonsi who was one of four players in the starting line-up who played in the last two final defeats.
Earlier in the day Ireland, whose sensational win over New Zealand in the group stages helped to end the Black Ferns' title defence, lost 25-18 to hosts France in the third-place play-off. Wales lost 30-3 in their play-off against Australia, leaving them eighth overall, the report added.

Since I've got my Win Printer working under Linux ( HP Deskjet 722C with Red Hat 7.2 ), I would like to know which cd labeling programs are good under Linux? Any recommendation? Thanks.
I checked and found this little program called KCDLabel at http://kcdlabel.sourceforge.net for those of you interested. But any other suggestions are also welcome.
Actually I'm looking for a labelling program, too. At the moment I use cdlabelgen which is a command line tool.
Something I'm really looking for is a labelling program that has CDDB support. Isn't that the most obvious feature you can thing of? Anybody knows a program that supports this?

The main problem on orthotic research is that there are too many professions that think that by casting (or even foam-boxing) one's feet, then the thing they make would be equal to foot orthoses. I see many so-called foot orthoses with too many arch fill, or forefoot wedge which is not necessary, or ultra-soft shell materials that are not supportive enough.
So it is very easy for someone to disprove the functions of foot orthoses. Simply make bad orthotics to do the test.
Just my two cents.

To other power-users of Excel, this post may not be informative. But for new backpackers and non-users of Excel, it could be helpful.Food planning for multi-day hikes & thru-hikesIntro...I plan for a trip in two stages:1. The theory. On my computer, I develop, refine, and perfect every aspect of the trip, notably my gear, supplies, route, and logistics. To do so, I rely heavily on applications like Excel, Word, National Geographic TOPO!, and Google Maps.2. The tangible. I obtain everything that is a prerequisite to start. For example, I order my gear, bottle my stove fuel, print my maps, and reserve my air flights. This stage can be intimidating because I am now committing my financial resources, not just my time.In the remainder of this post, I want to explain how I theoretically plan my food for multi-day hikes and thru-hikes.
Very nice. Thanks Andrew.
That was very helpful to compare against what I've been doing. Thank you.
You mean you don't randomly cover your kitchen counters in piles and piles of food along with boxes of bags ;-)
Sarah: "You mean you don't randomly cover your kitchen counters in piles and piles of food along with boxes of bags ;-)"My food preparation (mostly dehydrating) is being done now, so I will have enough meals to last through the backpacking season. I don't want to be dehydrating when the outdoor temperature is 95*F (already tried that--if you must, run the dehydrator in the garage). I bag individual meals as I prepare them and store them in the freezer. I have planned most of my spring/summer/fall trips, so I know approximately how many meals I need. I'd rather have a dozen extra meals than be up all night just before a trip! (Yes, the latter has happened!) In the freezer, the extra meals will keep for the following year, or I can use them as emergency food. I use my dining room table and the piles are not random! I divide the table into quarters: 1/4 breakfasts, 1/4 lunches/snacks and 1/2 dinners. I then stack each section by variety. (Obviously, I have more variety for dinners than for the others.) I then walk around the table with my OP sack picking up the appropriate number of meals for the trip. What I don't pick goes back back into the freezer. It helps that I live alone so I can eat somewhere besides the table!A ping-pong table or a rented folding table would also do the job if you need the dining room table for eating.I like Andrew's plan, although since I don't go on long expeditions, mine is a lot simpler!
Edited by hikinggranny on 01/31/2012 16:37:28 MST.
Wow, I understand making all the lists for an expedition. But for the usual backpacking I never thought about that. I just estimate the days I'll be out there, add one for emergency and go shopping. I can't even do a lot of planning - my backpacking trips usually last 2 months so when I get into a town (where I've never been before) I just enter the supermarket (I don't now what they might have for me) and see what I can get...

Dany Heatley's last-second goal keeps Wild alive for shootout win
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Edmonton Oilers' goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin saved every shot he faced for 59 minutes and 58 seconds before Dany Heatley was able to squeeze a puck just inside the post to tie the game at a goal apiece -- a goal that kept the Minnesota Wild alive long enough for Matt Cullen to come through in a shootout at Rexall Arena in Edmonton.
The skinny
Cullen scored the only goal of the shootout that the Wild would need, and the extra two points were secured when former Wild center Eric Belanger clanged his shot off the post after beating goalie Niklas Backstrom.
The Wild got the full points against their Northwest Division rivals for the second time in seven days after they also won 2-1 in a shootout last Thursday in St Paul.
The Oilers' Ryan Jones opened the scoring in the first period on Thursday night with a goal at 16:06
The Wild had every opportunity the rest of the way to equalize but they kept being frustrated by Khabibulin who stopped the first 28 shots he faced with relative ease.
Backstrom kept the Wild in the game after giving up the goal to Jones, making save-after-save and not allowing another goal the final 40:34 of play, including a perfect overtime and shootout.
Wild captain Mikko Koivu avoided a scare late in the third period when he caught teammate Dany Heatley's skate on the chin, just narrowly avoiding his neck and a much scarier situation. Koivu was checked on the bench before retreating to the locker room for stitches. Koivu would not return.
It was confirmed after the game that Koivu received stitches but no further update on his status was given.
The teams meet for a third time on Nov 23 in St Paul.
Turning point
With Backstrom pulled and a frustrating game for the Wild about to end, a shot by Bouchard bounced off the chest of Khabilbulin before trickling out to the stick of Heatley who fired in a wrist shot from 10 feet away at a 0 degree angle. Khabibulin failed to secure the post and the shot trickled in between him and post.
The Oilers got the best of the Wild in the five minute overtime session but failed to get any of their four shots past Backstrom.
The Wild had to do without shoot-out regular Koivu but were able to get the money without their captain.
Cullen scored the only goal of the shoot-out with a backhand goal past Khabibulin. Backstrom saved the first two attempts from Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins before Belanger's shot rang off the post and sent the Wild away with two points snatched from the jaws of defeat.
Numbers game
• 1: Second on the clock when Heatley's game-tying goal went into the net.
• 28: Consecutive saves by Khabibulin before giving up the goal to Heatley
• 11: Number of years it had been since the Wild had been shutout in Edmonton. Had it not been for Heatley's goal, the Wild would have been shutout for the first time since their inaugural road trip to Edmonton as a franchise in 200.
First period
Oilers - Ryan Jones 1 (Ryan Smyth), 16:06
Second period
No scoring
Third period
Wild - Dany Heatley 2 (Pierre-Marc Buchard (Devin Setoguchi), 19:58
Shots: Wild 7-10-12-2-31; Edmonton Oilers 9-9-9-4-31. Saves: Wild, Niklas Backstrom (31-30); Edmonton Oilers: Nickoli Khabibulin (31-30). Power plays: Wild 0-for-4, Edmonton Oilers 0-2.
Three stars
1. Nickoli Khabibulin
2. Niklas Backstrom
3. Ladislav Smid
Coming up
The two game Canadian road trip continues Saturday when the Wild take on division rival Vancouver Canucks for the first time in 2011-12.
The Wild will look to carry the momentum from Thursday night when they try to win consecutive games for the first time this season.

Kira's Age - She was 26 in Season One?
View Single Post

Location: The Badlands
Re: Kira's Age - She was 26 in Season One?
Timo wrote:
Well, there are some discrepancies with the age of Molly O'Brien or the anniversary of Wolf 357 that suggest that the thousand-stardate Earth year cycle and the Bajoran year are quite significantly out of synch. Also, certain supposedly annual Bajoran festivals are witnessed on several seasons but always at different points of the season in question.
We have at least some reason to think that Bajor orbits her star at basically the same distance as Earth orbits hers, giving near-identical lengths of year. But it's by no means set in stone. The Bajoran year might easily be some 20 or even 30% shorter than the Earth one, or perhaps correspondingly longer.
The day length would of course have nothing to do with the year length, and we never got a reason to think that Bajorans would count their age on the basis of days instead of years anyway.
Timo Saloniemi
I had thought that perhaps Bajor was further from their sun and thus had more days in each year. But, how many days would needed to be added to each year in order to make to make Kira at 26 look like she is in her 30's in earth years? Probably too many, but Bajor can't be
too far
from their sun since the planet is able to sustain humanoid life.

How is this New Surgery Technique Impacting the Treatment of Women's Cancers?
CHICAGO, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Robotic-assisted surgery has become one of the fastest growing technological advances in the field of Gynecologic Oncology in the past few years. This minimally-invasive surgery (MIS) technique, its impact on the profession, and its role in the future of women's cancer care will be some of the topics discussed during the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists' (SGO) 2009 Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, February 5-8, 2009, in San Antonio, Texas.
The meeting, viewed as the preeminent scientific and educational conference for women's cancer care specialists, will feature more than 350 scientific oral and poster presentations as well as educational sessions dealing with advances in the care and treatment of women's cancers. And, as an important emerging technological advance, the topic of MIS and robotics in particular will be discussed in more than 10 poster and oral presentations, addressing robotics surgery's scientific data to date and its growing popularity over the traditional practice of open surgery. In addition, specific robotics courses will be offered that focus on how robotics surgery can be incorporated into practice and impact outcomes within the field along with a special surgical post-graduate (SPG) course that will provide "tips and tricks" to help shorten the learning curve with robotics.
"Gynecologic oncologists are becoming more and more interested in robotic technology for the treatment of gynecologic malignancies such as uterine and cervical cancer," explains Dr. M. Patrick Lowe, Director of the Gynecologic Oncology Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery Program at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of
"As cancer specialists, we're always looking for ways to improve the surgical management of our patients

Sheriff proposes Todd Road Jail addition to cope with prison shift
Sheriff Geoff Dean is proposing to build a 64-bed addition to the Todd Road Jail between Ventura and Santa Paula at a cost of $35 million.
In a request the Ventura County Board of Supervisors will consider Tuesday, Dean says the medical unit would be financed largely with a state grant that requires a 10 percent county match. It would be designed for inmates with serious mental illness and chronic medical problems requiring them to be housed outside of the general jail population.
The unit would include safety cells designed to prevent suicides, a dental clinic, nurse's station and day rooms.
A feasibility study recommended three options to meet the needs of the jail system. One called for 48 beds, another for 64 beds and a third for 96 beds at Todd Road. Managers decided the 64-bed option was the most reasonable and cost-effective, Dean says in his letter to the board.
He says the unit is needed because of increases in the inmate population caused by the state shift of lower-risk prisoners to local jails. Some inmates who formerly would have gone to state prison are serving years in county jails instead.
Dean is asking the board Tuesday to allow him to submit an application for state funding that the Legislature authorized to help counties meet the demands of housing the new population.
To qualify, the sheriff's office would have to come up with a 10 percent match of $3.5 million. Annual operating costs are estimated at $2 million to $3 million.
Dean says he would return to the board for a discussion of how the match would be provided if the application is approved by the state.
The board meets at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Hall of Administration at the County Government Center, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura.

We, the undersigned, urge that the United States and the European Union to suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority. Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, the PA has actively participated in campaigns to demonize Israel, incite terror against Israeli citizens and glorify any anti-Israel activities. Since 2014, the PA has entered a unity agreement with Hamas, an internationally recognized terror organization whose Charter specifically calls for the destruction of the State of Israel, and by extension the Jewish People.
Most recently the PA has filed for membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC) with the sole purpose of prosecuting the State of Israel for alleged war crimes committed during Operation Protective Edge. This renders funding the Palestinian Authority to be in direct violation of US law.
Funding the PA is equivalent to funding terror and is against US law.
Time and again, the PA has failed to promote peaceful coexistence with Israel. Here are some of the FACTS about the PA's agenda to destroy Israel:
The Obama Administration and Congress violate US law by providing economic aid to the PA, especially since the establishment of a unity government with Hamas.
The Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006 prohibits any US funds from going to Hamas, Hamas-controlled entities, or a power-sharing PA government that includes Hamas as a member, or results from an agreement with Hamas. In addition, the Act prohibits American support for the PA until it agrees to "recognize Israel, renounce violence and disarm." Incitement to terror, payments to prisoners guilty of terrorism and its partnership with Hamas make it illegal for the US to provide any funding to the PA under this law.
The 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Sec.7040) prohibits "assistance to Hamas or any entity effectively controlled by Hamas, any power-sharing government of which Hamas is member, or that results from an agreement with Hamas and over which Hamas exercises undue influence." The PA's unity government with Hamas makes it ineligible for US funds under this law.
H.R. 3547 Sec. 7041 prohibits "the availability of Economic Support Fund assistance under this Act for the PA if… the Palestinians initiate an International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation, or actively support such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians." PA head Abbas has applied to the International Criminal Court to prosecute Israel for its alleged war crimes and for its "occupation" of Judea and Samaria - an act that makes it illegal for the US to continue to provide funding to his government under this law.
We urge President Obama and the US Congress to suspend aid to the PA unless it "takes specific steps to renounce and eradicate terror." We also urge the European Union and world leaders to recognize the Palestinian Authority as a supporter of terror and cease all funding immediately.

Mauby and spinach bad for heart disease patients?
By Kerri Gooding
AFTER a recent health education talk it was discovered that Barbadians need to be more aware of the side effects of their medications and the fact that combining some medications with ones diet can have a massive impact on the drugs effectiveness and their quality of health. David Lewis enlightened the Mens Health Group at Randal Philips Polyclinic about the dangers associated with combining medications and the important concept that diet can affect medications performance.
When explaining the effects last evening one medication used to illustrate the point was Warfarin. This medication was widely used amongst the group. It acts to prevent blood clotting and therefore helps the blood thin for reduced pressure in hypertensive patients hence decreasing strain on the heart.
Warfarin is mainly prescribed for heart disease patients. However, it must be understood that because there are a host of medications to treat these chronic diseases one should not consider Warfarin the only effective medication. Lewis told the crowd gathered that sometimes combining medications may either synergise or antagonise the effects of one drug then he further explained his meaning.
The term synergise speaks to the fact that when taken together the effect may be greater than if either medication was taken individually. When a patient is initially placed on Warfarin the doctor should provide them with a list of foods and drugs that they should avoid. After contacting some pharmacies around the island it was discovered that some pharmacists assume that the doctors informed the patients filling the prescriptions while few still proceed to educate the patient. In addition to aspirin there are some foods which alone act as blood thinners and hence if consumed while taking Warfarin will only accelerate and intensify the medications effects, including garlic which is favoured by the elderly. Then a shocking discovery made was the fact that a popular regional drink was not at the top of or even on some lists in some pharmacists minds when questioned. Mauby, unfortunately for those elders prescribed Warfarin, acts just like garlic and should be avoided.
If you use a combination of Warfarin and mauby or garlic or any other synergising agent were you to be wounded you could bleed incessantly. On the other hand, consuming green leafy vegetables such as spinach which contain Vitamin K or using soya antagonise the effects of Warfarin. That is, they counteract the blood thinners effects as they are blood clotting agents hence they too should be avoided.
The reason why patients should be aware of these consequences are because they are life saving. One important factor emphasised by most of the pharmacists interviewed and Lewis during his speech was that patients should be consistent with their diets during their blood testing phase. This allows the doctor to properly calculate the necessary dose of Warfarin even in the presence of components which either synergise or antagonise performance effects. The unanimous advice of the pharmacists was to keep diet constant and always make physicians aware of all medications before taking them especially if one is already on some medication.

The Most Misunderstood Dogs in Americaby Crystal Owens
Animal owners love their dogs and no matter what anyone says their breed is the best companion. But some breeds get a bad rap, usually through no fault of their own. These bad reputations can keep lovable dogs from finding good homes and often mean life in a cage or euthanization.
The American Pit Bull Terrier
The American pit bull terrier is by far the most understood dog in America. It has made national headlines in the last decade for its involvement in dogfighting rings, especially with the 2007 arrest of NFL player Michael Vick. However, the dogs are actually loving companions. According to the ASPCA, this breed's temperament varies from tenacious to easygoing. Like humans, they have their own unique personalities and it's up to each owner to mold his dog into a good companion. A common myth about the American pit bull terrier is that it's genetically geared toward fighting other animals. With the right owner, proper training and socialization, the ASPCA says this breed "is one of the most delightful, intelligent and gentle dogs imaginable."
The Rottweiler
As he's known for his strong body and big teeth, it's easy for the uneducated to be wary of the rottweiler. Many assume these dogs are natural-born killers, but they're actually even-tempered pets who make great guard dogs for families. The breed was created to be a herding dog and its instinct is to watch and protect. Rottweilers are known to be ideal companions for children, providing a watchful eye over their loved one. Also known for its intelligence, the breed is easily trained to follow commands.
German Shepherds
German shepherds can reach massive sizes, some weighing up to 150 pounds. They're often seen on television alongside a police officer attacking someone on the run, so it's no wonder this breed gets a bad reputation for being overly aggressive. German shepherds are known for their high intelligence and actually make a great family companion. If fact, they're often known to be big babies who love to cuddle. After all, its original role was that of a herding dog, protecting flocks from predators. If raised up as a puppy with a family, this breed is known for its loyalty, often following its "children" wherever they may go.
Border Collies
Border collies are known for their intelligence and acute herding instinct. Their keen personalities have made them a popular breed in America, but they're easily misunderstood. They can be difficult pets for owners who don't know how to properly train them. Owners must understand border collies need lots of physical and mental stimulation to thrive. Thousands are given up every year because a lack of regular training and exercise caused them to become destructive in a family setting.

NHL: Tuukka Rash and Bruins spoil return of Rangers forward Rick Nash in 2-0 win
New York • Tuukka Rask made 43 saves including a stop on a first-period penalty shot and the Boston Bruins spoiled the return of New York forward Rick Nash in a 2-1 victory over the Rangers on Tuesday night.
Rask, playing on back-to-back days for the first time this season, denied Chris Kreider's penalty shot and turned away everything else except for Derick Brassard's power-play goal in the second.
Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille, with his 10th career short-handed goal, provided all the offense Rask needed in the second period as the Bruins (14-6-1) finished a 2-1 road trip after winning at Carolina on Monday.
Predators 2, Red Wings 0 • Rookie Marek Mazanec made 27 saves to earn his first shutout and the Nashville Predators extended the Detroit Red Wings' skid to seven games with a 2-0 victory on Monday night.
Shea Weber and Gabriel Bourque scored for Nashville.
The Red Wings' home slide reached eight games (0-6-2).

Explore two colorful nations on one exotic island on your Carnival® cruise to St. Maarten. Split down the middle centuries ago by two European powers, this 37-mile isle offers cosmopolitan culture, international shopping, and world-class cuisine with a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere. Cruise to St. Maarten and you'll find the island's natural attributes are equally fine: the rugged coastline shelters silky crescents of sand framed by green undulating hills.
It's a two-for-one bargain in paradise when you board a cruise to St. Maarten. On Dutch St. Maarten, development is on the march, and the simmering scene ranges from bustling marinas to funky beach bars. Designer fashions and French wines fill the shops on quieter and quainter French St. Martin. Both sides offer splendid beaches, cosmopolitan dining, and fantastic shopping.
The handsome boardwalk that stretches along the Philipsburg waterfront from your St. Maarten cruise has superb views of Great Bay harbor. On Wathey Square, the Courthouse combines northern European sobriety with Caribbean brightness. East of the Courthouse, down a little shopping alley, the tiny St. Maarten Heritage Museum has an impressive collection of Arawak tools, shipwreck salvage, and slave beads.
Fort Amsterdam has looked out over the blue waters of Great Bay since 1631. Ruins and a couple of rusty cannons are all that remain of the original fort, but the site affords grand bay views. On the other side of the bay is Bobby's Marina, which offers a variety of adventures. Whether you're a beginner or expert boatmen, you can experience the thrill of racing with America's Cup Regatta excursion. If you'd rather be under the water than on top, Sea Trek is a must excursion.
With Carnival cruises to St. Maarten, you can explore Marigot, the charming portside capital of French St. Martin. With traditional Creole gingerbread-trim houses ringing the harbor, Marigot has real French flair. Explore the French and Dutch sides of St. Maarten with Butterfly Farm & Marigot excursion. For the more adventurous sightseer try Power Rafting Adventure – Snorkel, Shop & Beach. With crumbling walls and a French flag flapping in the breeze, Fort St. Louis was built in 1767 to protect the waterfront warehouses. Duck into the Museum of Saint Martin to see the first-rate collection of Ciboney, Arawak, and Carib artifacts excavated from the island.
Some 39 beautiful white-sand beaches—some bustling, some serene—are right outside your Carnival cruise to St. Maarten. On the Dutch side, mile-long Great Bay Beach right off the boardwalk in Philipsburg has calm seas and great views and you can see it all with Scenic Coastal Hike. If its thrills you're after, the Golden Eagle Catamaran Sail & Snorkel, or Rhino Rider & Snorkel Adventure offers the ultimate water experiences. Farther west, Mullet Beach has a gentle bay for swimming and snorkeling.
On the French side's northeast coast is Orient Beach, offering food, drink, watersports, music, and both topless and nudist beaches. South of Orient Beach, the calm, shallow waters of Coconut Grove and Galion Beach are a popular spot with kids and windsurfers. Many people take the 10-minute boat trip to Pinel, an idyllic little islet framed by jade peaks for a perfect beach day, complete with a crystalline lagoon.
St. Maarten is a true free port—no duties are paid on any item coming in or going out—and neither side of the island has a sales tax. Shops in vintage storefronts can be found on the busier Dutch side and are concentrated in Philipsburg, along narrow Front Street and its warren of alleyways. In French Marigot, shops sell European brands and fine French wines and cheeses. Many stores here close for a 2-hour lunch break around noon.

Adjournment Debate - Industrial Disputes.
Wednesday, 16 February 2005
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. Durkan: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to raise this issue. This issue began just a few weeks ago with a simple boardroom dispute which has now escalated. I do not want to get into the details of the dispute, but its escalation will have serious consequences for the [1735]ESB, its consumers, both industrial and domestic, and the economy. What may have seemed like a simple disagreement initially has taken on far more serious proportions and is in danger of expanding into unofficial, or perhaps official, industrial action which will have serious consequences throughout the country.
I also raise this issue for another reason. There have been a number of "accidents", for want of a better description, in State companies in recent times where what seemed a simple issue initially turned into a major issue later. In one or two cases the issue caused both sides to go to the brink of industrial action. In the case of Aer Lingus it led to even more serious consequences.
I am concerned that what is happening with the ESB, small as it may have been initially, has the propensity to escalate into a larger and wider issue with significant consequences for the ESB. This is a particularly sensitive time because of deregulation. I urge the responsible Minister to take immediate steps to ensure that whatever difficulties that have arisen are made known to all parties concerned. The difficulties must be resolved and the ESB must discharge its responsibilities to the public and to the domestic and industrial consumer with due regard to the need to protect the economy.
Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (Mr. C. Lenihan): I am addressing this issue on behalf of my colleague the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Noel Dempsey.
The Minister has asked me to make two specific points at the outset. First, he does not have primary responsibility within the Government for industrial relations issues. Second, the situation currently pertaining at board level in the ESB is an internal matter for the board. I should also preface the remainder of this speech by saying that the Minister is in receipt of legal correspondence in this matter and I must take cognisance of that in what can be said here tonight.
The current boardroom issue has added another dimension to the already complex industrial relations environment in the ESB. The Minister understands that unofficial industrial action has been threatened by ESB shop stewards in the business unit network distribution with effect from Friday, 18 February. It is understood that formal notification of such action has not been served on the ESB in accordance with normal industrial relations procedures.
This is clearly in breach of the spirit of partnership and the commitments regarding industrial peace entered into by all parties under the Sustaining Progress agreement. If the country or any customer was to be left without electricity because of a procedural disagreement at board level it is fair to say that such a development would not be welcomed by the public or the Government.
[1736]The Minister understands that the boardroom situation has arisen over the procedure for chairing the meetings of the board in the absence of the chairman. During the course of the last board meeting in January, it appears the chairman had to absent himself for a part of the meeting. A board member, other than the deputy chairman, was selected by the board to chair the meeting during the chairman's absence. The Minister understands the board relied on the regulations of the board in reaching this arrangement and account was also taken of corporate governance independence criteria.
The July 2003 combined code on corporate governance sets out the principles of good governance and a code of best practice. Companies listed on the Stock Exchange are required to report on compliance with all the provisions of the code. While ESB is not explicitly bound by the code, the company supports its principles and provisions and endeavours to adhere to best practice in the area of corporate governance while continuing to comply with its other accountability obligations to the Minister and Government. This is clearly stated in the company's 2003 annual report. The ESB intends to make a further report on its compliance with the combined code in its annual report for 2004, which will be due for publication later this year.
The combined code provides that a chairman should meet independence criteria. Criteria cited as compromising independence are if the chairman has been an employee of the company within the last five years, if the person is a member of the company's pension scheme and if the person has served on the board for more than nine years from the date of his or her first election to it. In light of this, the deputy chairman does not meet these criteria given his long service in the employment of ESB and his membership on the board for over 20 years. The independence of the chairman is critical if the board is to function properly. The Minister understands that the chairman took full account of the criteria from the combined code in reaching his recommendation as to who should act in his place in his absence.
The Minister also understands that the chairman was of the view that the recent newsletter issued by the deputy chairman may have compromised the deputy chairman's independence in the chair. The deputy chairman had expounded his views in public on matters which had not yet been discussed by the board.
Some media sources reported that the deputy chairman was "removed" or "dismissed" from his position. This would appear to put a particular negative angle on the procedural arrangements followed by the board when selecting an acting chairman during the January meeting. The current deputy chairman was appointed to that position by the Minister's predecessor. The Minister has not rescinded that appointment and so the usage of such terminology as "removed" or "dismissed" is not accurate. There would appear to [1737]be a clear and urgent case for the parties concerned to focus on a solution to avoid any unnecessary disruption to power supplies.

The Ever-Expanding, Profit-Maximizing, Cultural-Imperialist, Wonderful World of Disney (continued)
|Disney's Far-Flung Empire
|Hong Kong Disneyland By the Numbers
In 1997, Disney's Miramax label released Kundun, a Martin Scorsese film about Tibet that angered the Chinese leadership. But behind the scenes the company was also working on Mulan, an animated blockbuster that brought a traditional Chinese fable to a global audience with classic Disney production values. In the wake of Mulan's warm reception, Disney cut a deal with Hong Kong to build a theme park, and attendance there will no doubt get a boost from a major new television agreement, announced in December, under which Mickey Mouse cartoons will appear daily, in kids' prime time, on China's biggest television channel.
Disney executives, including CEO Michael Eisner and COO Bob Iger, make regular trips to China, meeting with top leadership to pave the way for more deals. One possibility: a theme park in Shanghai. Meanwhile, China has become the world's largest producer of licensed Disney merchandise, which helps company executives when they push the government to crack down on the unlicensed variety.
Despite all this, the image of Disney - and of America in general - as an unstoppable cultural juggernaut is misleading. The truth is that selling American culture overseas is a tricky business. Disney and other big global brands are driven not by grand plans to promote American values, but rather by incremental, pragmatic, financially oriented, market research-based business decisions - and even then, the companies struggle mightily to make their initiatives work. Success depends on some rather mundane factors: Have you selected good local partners? Do your executives understand local traditions and speak the language? Have you developed an organization that allows for strategic coordination across far-flung locations? Have you earned the goodwill of citizens groups and government officials?
In most countries, media-related industries in particular are still dominated by domestic firms, and there is little reason to think that will change in the near future. Disney gets less than 20 percent of its revenue from overseas, a share that's been stagnant even though management has long cited the international market as a major growth area. The company's experience abroad suggests that even in this age of interconnection, where the combination of technology and American hegemony makes a shallow global monoculture a possibility, that dull new world won't be arriving anytime soon.
Just as it did in France, Disney squeezed a sweet deal out of the Hong Kong government. For starters, the company threatened to build the park in Shanghai.
The Burbank, California, headquarters of the Walt Disney Company sits on the impeccably manicured Disney Studios lot, surrounded by paths with names like Mickey Avenue and Dopey Drive and featuring a roof held aloft by 19-foot-high statues of the Seven Dwarfs. But as self-consciously cheery as it is on the outside, there's nothing lighthearted about what's happening inside. In the sprawling executive suites, the ambience is high corporate rather than California casual, reflecting the relentlessly competitive, hierarchical style of the CEO Eisner.
It is Eisner who can claim credit for transforming Disney from a drifting, dated icon of American middle-class entertainment into a global media superpower, one that trails only AOL Time Warner in scope and scale. The ghost of Walt, the creative genius who invented most of the famous characters as well as the concept of Disneyland, still inhabits many corners of the company. But as befits a huge, publicly traded corporation, the true guiding spirit today is the bottom line. When Eisner took over in 1984, Disney had $1.7 billion in revenue, hardly any profits, and a miserable reputation both in Hollywood and on Wall Street. Today, thanks to aggressive exploitation of the signature characters, continued success in developing new animated hits, the revival of the movie studio, and the 1996 acquisition of Capital Cities/ABC Inc., Disney boasts revenue of more than $25 billion and employs 120,000 people worldwide. With its global outlook and willingness to experiment in multiple media, Disney is a member of the Wired Index, the 40 businesses charting the future of the economy. The company certainly has its share of problems: Growth has slowed, the stock has sunk, and the advertising downturn and post-terrorism tourism slump have made bad conditions even worse. Still, no one questions its staying power as a dominant media brand.
Disney, in fact, can be a remarkable machine, and over the last decade it has been one of the few businesses of any kind that gives real meaning to the term synergy. Take a hit animated film like The Lion King. Released in 1994, it has grossed more than $765 million at the box office worldwide - and that's only the beginning. There was a best-selling record album, live stage shows (currently in four cities), cartoons on the Disney Channel, a Toontown attraction at Disneyland, a vast array of merchandise, and extraordinarily lucrative home video and DVD sales. In all, The Lion King franchise has contributed more than $1 billion to Disney's bottom line, says Sutro &Co. analyst Dave Miller.
What's more, much of the Disney empire is easy to export. The characters have long been popular overseas; Mickey Mouse is among the most recognized icons in the world. The animated feature films travel particularly well, since they can be seamlessly translated into other languages, and they are often big hits abroad. (Tarzan, for example, has cleared $449 million at the overseas box office since its release in 1999.) Disneyland Tokyo, opened in 1982, has been an unalloyed success, and the new Tokyo Disney Seas park, which debuted in September, appears poised to repeat that performance. Disneyland Paris had a terrible couple of years after opening in 1992, but it's now doing well enough that a Disney Studios park is about to move in next door. More than half of the sales of Disney merchandise come from outside the US. And because Disney stands for family entertainment and steers clear of political issues, it's even been mostly immune to a rising anti-American corporate backlash.
Yet with all of that, until a couple of years ago, the company had no real international strategy. "We had a couple hundred legal entities overseas that needed to be consolidated - we were not world class in that," says Michael Johnson, a cheery veteran of the home entertainment division who now heads up the entity called Walt Disney International. "We were spending a huge amount of money. We didn't have a grip on some of our characters and how they were performing. It was a legacy of these huge silos."

text: Hi everyone, Just today I was informed, that unfortunetaly, a cousin has eye cancer. The results just came in yesterday, and tomorrow he'll have more studies made to see if they can save his eye (most likely they won't be able to). But the most important thing, is to know if the cancer has spread to the optic nerve, because that's the most dangerous part of an eye cancer. The question would be, has anyone heard or read anything about eye cancer and cannabis? I know that THC oil is really helpful with a lot of cancers, but I found nothing about eye cancer. I would really appreciate if anyone can share any info they have about this subject. Thanks in advance, Kuipo

3M Macurco Carbon Monoxide Detector and Controller
Filed under: Uncategorized
A lot of us worry about carbon monoxide silently and invisibly building up inside our homes, so naturally, we make sure to stay safe with carbon monoxide detectors. But from the business/public safety standpoint, have you ever realized that CO can easily reach dangerous levels in garages and warehouses, too? Any enclosed area that plays host to vehicles and machinery that run on (read: burn) natural gas, wood, coal, or petroleum products can develop deadly high concentrations of carbon monoxide.
In these settings, one answer is to keep ventilation fans running at all times, constantly circulating air so that CO doesn't have the chance to build up. This generally does the job, but it can also leave facility owners with hefty electric bills, as well as cause an undue amount of wear and tear on the vent fans, which will inevitably need to be replaced every few years when they burn out.
So it's sort of a Catch 22. If you don't monitor and control carbon monoxide levels, you put yourself, your employees, and your customers at risk for CO poisoning – or even death. But if you responsibly keep tabs on things and take measures toward maintaining safely breathable air, you're going to significantly lighten your wallet, as well as consume a lot more electricity than you probably need to. What's a business owner/property manager to do?
Check out this 3M™ Macurco™ Carbon Monoxide Detector and Fan Controller, that's what. This CO detection unit actually wires into your fan control system, so that your ventilation units only need to run when a certain level of carbon monoxide is detected in the ambient air. As long as levels remain safe, your fans stay off. But as soon as elevated CO levels are detected, this unit automatically fires up the fans, and leaves them running until the air has been adequately cleared. As a result, the 3M™ Macurco™ control system not only saves lives, but your utilities budget and fan components as well.
How's that for a happy medium?

Happy Father's Day! So, what are you watching?
It's Father's Day! Your wife and kids let you sleep late, and then presented you with a lovely breakfast. You took a leisurely shower, read an entire issue of Maxim on 'the throne' (you know what I mean!) and now you're comfortably snug in the recliner that faces your new 50-inch plasma television, with built in HDTV digital recorder. That's the one that your wife bought with the change she saved from the grocery money (no wonder you were eating tofu burgers the last few months).
So, what are you watching? Perhaps you're tuned into the U.S. Open or maybe the World Cup Championships. Or, you may be watching your favorite baseball team play on FOX, ESPN, or one of your digital cable (or satellite) channels. If you're not into sports, you may be watching a favorite show or DVD, such as Father Knows Best, Bachelor Father, Father Murphy, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home or Make Room For Daddy or Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy. Then again, if the family is out of the house, you may be watching porn.
So, let us know what's on your moving picture machine. And, if you did get a 50-inch HDTV plasma television, please let us know; we at TV Squad would like to come over, friend.

LISBON - Before Monday nights first home basketball game of the season, Lisbon Central School honored the late Jack Gray. Gray, who passed away unexpectedly this summer, was fixture at Golden Knight games since the late 1960s.
The school district dedicated a stadium seat, with camo padding to recognize the renowns gunsmiths love of the outdoors, in the spot in the bleachers where he sat for so many years.
The Knights then opened their NAC West League with a 78-14 win over an overmatched Clifton-Fine team with the type of basketball which Jack Gray loved. Unselfish passing, sure ballhandling, smooth outside shooting and hustling defense.
Meanwhile, Heuvelton used a 31-11 third quarter run to break open a 73-55 win at Hermon-DeKalb, Hammond bounced back from a undermanned loss at Colton-Pierrepont with refueled energy in a 42-30 win over Morristown and Edwards-Knox gutted out a 57-49 win over visiting Harrisville.
Lisbon 78, C-F 14: Swingman Jake Putney delivered a solid 21 point performance for the Knights who received scoring from eight players en route to an opening NAC West Division win.
We ran well and had some nice contributions off the bench, said LCS Coach Sean Backus.
Adam Felt fired in five threes in a 18 point effort while inside force Jimmy Robinson added 17. Nick Snyder and Evan Robinson each scored six and Matt Willard logged five. Chase Foster scored six for C-F.
Heuvelton 73, H-D 55: Hermon-DeKalb coach Clay Denesha thought his team played pretty well for three quarters and complimented the play of HCS guard Mike Guardino.
Mike showed me a different player tonight than he was last year. Hes really worked on his shot, said Denesha after Mike Guardino scored 13 points in the pivotal third quarter to finish with 23. Dedrick Johnson tallied 23 points while Cody Holland added 12.
Cody Merrick generated 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for H-D. Macaulay Snell added 14 while Dylan Kimble chipped in 10 points and Steve Gilbert (10 rebounds) and Zach Robinson each logged eight.
Hammond 42, Morristown 30: First year head coach Brad Rogers credited his teams defense. We took away their outside game and really boarded well as a team, said Rogers. And Brock Tulley hit a pair of big threes late. I was happy with the way we pushed the ball.
Nolan Martin generated 11 points for the Devils who took a 25-15 lead in the third with a 9-2 run. Ryan Proven added nine while Payton Frisina chipped in eight.
DaKota Marshall scored 10 for Morristown while Ryan Vollmer chipped in six.
E-K 57, Harrisville 49: Despite shooting 11 of 23 at the foul line, the Cougars managed a win for first-year year coach Bill Davison.
It was sloppy but well take any win we can get any way. We just need to maintain our composure. We definitely are one of the more experience teams in the NAC West with nine seniors said Davison.
E-K was led by Tyler Tresidder (14 points), Kaden Dandrow (12 points), Jessie Bullock (10 points) and Chris Davison (10 points).
Joey Butts scored 14, Nick Weir netted 13 and Nate Weaver added 10 for Harrisville.

The former England captain's tour was ended 21 minutes into the game at Rotorua, when he slipped into a tackle and was caught awkwardly under a pile of bodies that included captain Brian O'Driscoll and is set to be sidelined for up to six months.
The loss of the back-row forward, who also suffered injury heartbreak in Australia four years, represents a setback to the Lions' hopes of a Test series victory over New Zealand.
Dallaglio may be 33 next birthday but he came on tour playing as well as ever and was expected to be the inspirational driving force behind the Lions' bid for Test glory.
Instead, he is in an Auckland hospital not only having to deal with his badly damaged ankle but also begin the painful process of re-focusing his goals.
Playing for the Lions had been Dallaglio's over-riding focus in the 12 months since he stood down from the England team.
"I am obviously very, very disappointed that my Lions tour should end in the first match with an injury that puts me out of the whole trip," he said.
"But I've been around long enough to know that injuries are part of the game and no matter how difficult it is you have to be philosophical. I now just have to prepare myself mentally for the long process of recovery.
"For me, the tour is over, but for the other players they have a great challenge ahead of them and they know they have my full support."
Dallaglio will have to remain in New Zealand for up to a fortnight before he is a position to fly home.
He is replaced in the squad Ireland blind-side flanker Simon Easterby, who was at Shannon airport en route to Japan on Ireland's summer tour when the call came through.

Lipscomb (1-1-1)
Memphis (1-0-1)
8/26/2014 | Memphis, Tenn. | Attendance: 371
Tuesday, August 26, 2014
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's soccer team fought a tough battle against Memphis Tuesday night leaving the Mike Rose Soccer Complex with a 0-0 tie against the Lady Tigers.
"I was very proud of the team tonight," said head coach Kevin O'Brien. "It was a great effort against a great opponent."
The Lady Bisons advance to 1-1-1 on the season while Memphis moves to 1-0-1.
"Memphis is a team that will do very well this season" O'Brien said. "It was a great display of working together as a team collectively and being hard to break down.
"If we can put in this kind of defensive effort every game and make positive adjustments to our attacking, I'd say that we can play with just about anyone."
The Purple and Gold held the Lady Tigers off to a scoreless regulation period ultimately resulting in two bouts of scoreless overtime.
Sophomore goalkeeper Anna Buhigas secured five saves for the evening playing all 90 minutes.
Up Next: The Lady Bisons host Middle Tennessee Friday at 7 p.m.

Keratin 18 attenuates estrogen receptor α-mediated signaling by sequestering LRP16 in cytoplasm

BMC Cell Biology 2009, 10:96 doi:10.1186/1471-2121-10-96Published: 26 December 2009
Oncogenesis in breast cancer is often associated with excess estrogen receptor α(ERα) activation and overexpression of its coactivators. LRP16 is both an ERα target gene and an ERα coactivator, and plays a crucial role in ERα activation and proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. However, the regulation of the functional availability of this coactivator protein is not yet clear.
Yeast two-hybrid screening, GST pulldown and coimmunoprecipitation (CoIP) identified the cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein keratin 18 (K18) as a novel LRP16-interacting protein. Fluorescence analysis revealed that GFP-tagged LRP16 was primarily localized in the nuclei of mock-transfected MCF-7 cells but was predominantly present in the cytoplasm of K18-transfected cells. Immunoblotting analysis demonstrated that the amount of cytoplasmic LRP16 was markedly increased in cells overexpressing K18 whereas nuclear levels were depressed. Conversely, knockdown of endogenous K18 expression in MCF-7 cells significantly decreased the cytoplasmic levels of LRP16 and increased levels in the nucleus. CoIP failed to detect any interaction between K18 and ERα, but ectopic expression of K18 in MCF-7 cells significantly blunted the association of LRP16 with ERα, attenuated ERα-activated reporter gene activity, and decreased estrogen-stimulated target gene expression by inhibiting ERα recruitment to DNA. Furthermore, BrdU incorporation assays revealed that K18 overexpression blunted the estrogen-stimulated increase of S-phase entry of MCF-7 cells. By contrast, knockdown of K18 in MCF-7 cells significantly increased ERα-mediated signaling and promoted cell cycle progression.
K18 can effectively associate with and sequester LRP16 in the cytoplasm, thus attenuating the final output of ERα-mediated signaling and estrogen-stimulated cell cycle progression of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Loss of K18 increases the functional availability of LRP16 to ERα and promotes the proliferation of ERα-positive breast tumor cells. K18 plays an important functional role in regulating the ERα signaling pathway.

Thanks for everyone's input. No doubt the spyder is amazing. Really an impressive bow. I've ordered the creed and am just waiting. In the end the creed seemed a little easier to draw and I believe it is slightly quieter with less hand shock. They are both extremely close and the spyder is a bit faster when set up equally. In my testing the spyder was almost 10 fps faster with my 376 grain arrows. I think my shop owners opinion was honest in the sense that he would pick the speed increase over the slightly easier draw and the small difference in hand shock. I chose the opposite this time around.

I seem to collect floral patterns — again and again.
Over the years, I've purchased vintage white linen napkins and hand towels as I found them at antique shows. Some are monogrammed; some are not but I've been slow to use them because they require hand-ironing. And so they sat in the cabinet for far too long.
Earlier this summer I embarked on a napkin-washing project. In part, my aim was to test various brands of "fancy" linen washes I've been playing with for while (I'll have a laundry washing post coming up to discuss my favorites). In part, my stuff simply needed laundering.… Continue Reading
