David Cameron: all mouth and no combat trousers?
What happened to the 'monstrous threat' rhetoric? Does tackling IS not pass the 'family friendly' test?
Are we hearing the war tom-toms or not? Yesterday, David Cameron said the Islamic State posed a "direct and deadly threat" to Britain and we had "no choice but to rise the challenge". This morning he told BBC TV Breakfast viewers: "Britain is not going to get involved in another war in Iraq."
In short, he seems to have done a handbreak turn in his rhetoric.
The Prime Minister had used an article for the Sunday Telegraph to – apparently – soften us up for the prospect of a long campaign to contain the murderous Sunni fanatics. "True security will only be achieved if we use all our resources – aid, diplomacy, our military prowess – to help bring about a more stable world," he wrote.
His new Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, was also banging the drum. Speaking on a flying visit to RAF Akrotiri, the airbase in Cyprus where British operations are based, Fallon said: "This is not simply a humanitarian mission..." He told the crews of RAF Tornado, Chinook and Hercules aircraft that the military mission could go on for months.
Cameron was on Breakfast TV this morning to promote a new initiative - intended to appeal to women voters - which promises that every government policy will be checked from now on to see whether it is "family friendly" before it is put into action.
He wasn't asked whether military intervention to tackle the Islamic State would pass the "family friendly" test – but by now he had changed his tune anyway.
"Britain is not going to get involved in another war in Iraq," he said. "We are not going to be putting boots on the ground, we're not going to be sending in the British Army".
So what happened to Cameron's war rhetoric? Downing Street added to the confusion by insisting: "We are not talking about a combat operation."
In which case, what are we talking about? More "family-friendly" air drops to the beleaguered Yazidis? Or will RAF pilots join their American allies in air strikes on IS positions, presumably guided by intelligence provided by SAS troops we already have on the ground (but who, because they are observing not fighting, don't count as "boots on the ground")?
As The Times reports, some MPs are anxious about "mission creep". Yet Cameron remains deaf to demands for a recall of Parliament so they can question ministers and be clear on the RAF pilots' rules of engagement.
Cameron has managed to avoid the recall issue partly because the Opposition leader, Ed Miliband, has so far refused to join in the calls.
One reason why it has suited both sides to avoid the difficult questions surrounding military action is that there are so many unanswered questions about the sort of war we might be getting involved in. And for Labour it is a horrid reminder that it was Tony Blair, the former Labour PM, who got us into this mess by invading Iraq.
One of the few MPs who is a real expert on the subject of Iraq, Rory Stewart, told Radio 4's Today programme this morning there were good reasons for holding back from military intervention.
"The reason you have to pause is if you think David Petraeus [the former US commander] with 120,000 troops and $120 billion a year wasn't able to bring lasting peace to these areas, what exactly are you proposing to do now? This idea that there is some grand military scheme which takes the willpower and the money to achieve, I am not convinced by it..."
Stewart, a former diplomat who is now Tory chairman of the cross-party Commons select committee on defence, also warned that we still don't have enough intelligence about IS members and aims.
Another cause for pause is the perception among the embattled Shias in Baghdad - and some Americans - that President Barack Obama's readiness to sanction air strikes against IS positions is really about protecting the oil wells in US-backed Kurdistan.
"Obama's defence of Irbil is effectively the defence of an undeclared Kurdish oil state whose sources of geopolitical appeal — as a long-term, non-Russian supplier of oil and gas to Europe," writes Steve Coll, an intelligence and national security expert, in The New Yorker.
The region's oil-fields have boomed in the post-war years, attracting a number of drilling companies, including Exxon Mobil and Chevron.
But perhaps the real reason to avoid a recall of Parliament is that - in a reversal of the position last August over Syria - Cameron fears that this time MPs will say 'Yes' to a war that he and Obama do not want.
And, of course, it would ruin his holidays. Having been criticised for remaining on the beach in Portugal as the crisis mounted in Iraq, Cameron is hoping to return to holiday on Wednesday, this time in Cornwall. Meanwhile, Ed Miliband is in France and Nick Clegg is at his family retreat in Spain.

Bruce Springsteen's cousin's drug deathBruce Springsteen's cousin died from an accidental drug overdose.
Lenny Sullivan, who was the 'Working On A Dream' singer's' assistant road manager, died in October and his autopsy results released this week showed he passed away of "acute amphetamine and heroin intoxication".
His death was ruled as an "accidental overdose".
Lenny's body was found on October 26 at the Intercontinental Hotel, in Kansas, shortly before Bruce was to take to the stage at the city's Spirit Centre, forcing him to cancel that night's concert.
A statement on the singer's website posted soon after read: "Lenny Sullivan, Bruce's cousin and the assistant road manager of the E Street Band for the last 10 years, passed away today at the age of 36.
"A warm and sensitive person, he was beloved by Bruce, the Band, the crew, and the entire Thrill Hill family."
Meanwhile, Bruce - known by the nickname 'The Boss' - was presented with a Kennedy Center award by President Barack Obama at a White House reception on Sunday (06.12.09).
As he handed over the accolade, Obama quipped: "I'm the president but he's 'The Boss'."

Since financial services are linked to and reflective of the real economy, the slowdown in economic growth is impacting this sector also.
Ajay Srinivasan, CEO, financial services, Aditya Birla Group, in an interaction with Ira Dugal, says that structurally India is still a big market given its demography and savings rate.
The market sentiment seems to be improving
I think the sentiment in the economy has improved with the way the rupee has stabilised as a result of the capital flows that have come in. The recent estimates of the CAD have been better than the $70 billion estimated earlier. Globally, the delay in Fed tapering and better numbers from China have improved capital flows into the financial markets and have taken the stock market higher. But I think improvement in economic growth per se is still some distance away and the challenges of inflation and employment remain.
So, do you feel the fears of capital outflows have eased?
I think those have partly eased because of what happened with the currency and the external account since all countries with high CAD were thought to be at higher risk. But they have also partly eased because of the delay in Fed tapering. Expectations are that tapering might be pushed back further. Therefore, global liquidity is still benign. So, I believe, its a combination of global liquidity and domestic factors that have helped. We must be clear, though, that this is a window which is open till tapering actually starts and that we will have to set things in order by then.
But the growth and, hence, the demand picture hasnt changed. Has it?
No, it hasnt. I think we will have some benefit this year from better agriculture, but both industry and services continue to slow down. If you look at it from the demand side, consumption demand is hurting because of inflation and high interest rates. At the same time, investment demand is hurting because of general sentiment, the policy framework and the relatively high interest rates. So, in that sense, growth has not come back yet.
Having said that, there have been positive developments. For instance, the CCI clearing stalled projects is an important move. The question is, once these projects are cleared, how do you make sure they get off the ground. If that happens, you will start to derive ancillary benefits and it will have a multiplier effect.
The growth-inflation trade-off seems to have

My 18 month old son wont eat and has a horrible gag reflex. gags and throws up on meats and sandwich
My 18 month old wont eat anything but spaghetti, pancakes, and yoghourt. I cant feed him chicken nuggets or fish sticks because he gags and throws up on the texture. I am not sure what else to give him. he refuses most foods i give him. they end up on the floor. he is in the 30th percentile for weight and 40th for height so he isn't terribly small but i would like to find some creative recipes to help him have a balanced diet. He is really picky about drinks too. he only wants milk but i limit him to 3 8 oz cups a day so he doesn't fill up on it. he hates juice so he also gets lots of water if he is thirsty. has anyone else had this issue. especially with the gagging and throwing up with meats.

Will your baby take a variety of foods if it is pureed (like stage 1-2 baby food)? If yes, then I would start giving him pureed foods, adding in some olive oil to increase calories. You can try slowly increasing the texture of the pureed foods over time, and see if he learns to better tolerate textures. If you don't see improvement, and you are still concerned, talk to you doctor about your concerns. They sound valid. At this age your child should be able to have more variety/texture in his diet. Your doctor can refer you to a pediatric occupational or speech therapist that can help you and your child address the texture issues. Just make sure that the therapist you go to has plenty experience with feeding issues. If you don't have insurance or money for therapy I would suggest getting more information online, learn more about the problem and they try some of the suggestions that sound like they might help. Your doctor may even have some written information to help.posted 06/27/2012 by Nancy55514
Try beans and other sources of protein. My daughter is 4 and does not like meat either so I load her up on fruits and veggies. Try cutting up foods extra small which may make it past his gag reflex. Try add fruits and stuff into the yogurt and use yogurt with the extra calories. Really all you can do is experiment, every kid has different preferences.posted 06/27/2012 by nikki4808

My only real exposure to the ideas of REST has been through Ruby on Rails' RESTful routing. This has suited me well for the kind of CRUD-based applications I have built with Rails, but consequently my understanding of RESTfulness is somewhat limited.
Let's say we have a finite collection of Items, each of which has a unique ID, and a number of properties, such as colour, shape, and size (which might be undefined for some Items).
Items can be used by a client for a period of time, but each Item can only be used by one client at once. Access to Items is regulated by a server. Clients can request the temporary use of certain items from a server.
Usually, clients will only be interested in getting access to a number of Items with particular properties, rather than getting access to specific Items.
When a client requests use of a number of Items, the server responds with a list of IDs corresponding to the request, or with a response that says that the requested Items are not currently available or do not exist.
A client can make the following kinds of request:
- Tell me how many green triangle Items there are (in total/available).
- Give me use of 200 large red Items.
- I have finished with Items 21, 23, 23.
- Add 100 new red square Items.
- Delete 50 small green Items.
- Modify all big yellow pentagon Items to be blue.
The toy example above is like a resource allocation problem I have had to deal with recently. How should I go about thinking about it RESTfully?

For more than a year, and through some monumental growing pains, Rick Goodrich has promised an upgrade in the quality of football seen at John Marshall.
Throughout last season, he saw plenty of it. Most fans only saw the scoreboard, which, frankly, looked similar. (The last guy was doing that!)
A lot of times during Year 1, salvation comes from within.
Goodrich knew all of that was going to happen. The man has resurrected programs from Bridgeport to Cambridge. He knows the ups and downs of rebuilding a program like the back of his hand.
Suddenly, 13 games into his tenure, the Monarchs (2-1) have a two-game winning streak, having beaten Buckeye Local and Oak Glen the last two weeks. Given that both of those squads are winless, it's not time for a ticker-tape parade in Moundsville, but just getting that winning feeling back through the blood is a big step.
''You can see them practicing and playing with more confidence each week,'' Goodrich said. ''The true measuring stick of how mature we are is this week. If we go out and play hard, it will show we're making progress.
''If we go out and rest on the fact that we won two in a row, it will show we have a long way to go in the direction we are trying to get.''
More good news is Trevor Hardesty, John Marshall's do-it-all running back, will likely play this week after tweaking an ankle against Oak Glen.
''It'll be a game-time decision,'' Goodrich said, ''but I anticipate him playing.''
Hardesty, who had 31 yards on eight carries at the time of his departure last week, has 362 yards on 53 carries and six touchdowns through the two-and-a half games.
In his stead, guys like Chase Gump (14 carries, 67 yards, 1 TD), Jimmy Michelucci (five carries, 27 yards, 1 TD) and Alan Miller (10 carries, 41 yards, 1 TD) stepped up, showing the JM coaches they're onto something.
''It's nice to know,'' Goodrich said. ''They get reps every day in practice. We expect them to take advantage of their opportunities. That they did.''
Not to be outdone, kid quarterback Noah Martin continued his sophomoric rise. After hitting on 9 of 12 passes for 154 yards with a touchdown (to Howard Henry) against the Golden Bears, this 10th-grader has connected on 17 of his first 20 career passes.
''We knew he was a talent, and we knew he was going to be something special,'' Goodrich said of Martin. ''He just has to realize how much work it takes to get where he wants to go. He has unlimited potential.''
Things aren't as dreamy at East Liverpool, where things haven't gone according to plan. In his own attempt rebuild a program - remember, the Potters once played on such an elite level, they remain the last OVAC team to beat Steubenville on the field (2001) - third-year coach Rick Prescott thought this might be the year things come together.
They haven't, though the Potters haven't played as badly as their record might indicate.
East Liverpool (1-3) lost a pair to begin the season to Carrollton and Indian Creek, beat Salem, then lost a toughie last week to Cambridge.
''They're athletic,'' Goodrich said. ''They have tough kids, hard-nosed kids. They're 1-3 but in my opinion, they'll be the toughest team we've played so far.''

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Former "American Idol" singer Clay Aiken appears headed toward a fall showdown for a congressional seat in North Carolina after the death of the entrepreneur who was narrowly trailing him in a too-close-to-call Democratic primary.
A statement from Keith Crisco's family says the 71-year-old candidate died Monday after a fall at his home in Asheboro.
Crisco was trailing Aiken by fewer than 400 votes after the contest last Tuesday. State elections board spokesman Josh Lawson says if enough new votes turn up to make Crisco the winner, local Democrats will select a new nominee. If not, he says Aiken will be the nominee.
The vote is expected to be certified Thursday.
The nominee will face Republican incumbent Renee Ellmers in November in the GOP-leaning 2nd Congressional District.

Could I possibly have aspergers? What to do?
Baby Asked: Could I possibly have aspergers? What to do?
Ok-so could I have aspergers or another disorder or something? Oh, and if I do what should I do about it? Please do not say go to a docter or anything just something I can do in general, basically by myself. Thanx.
I have these obsessions with really, really weird things
People say I talk very smartly or whatever
I do socially interact although at times I do feel very nervous or irritated and take off to the toilet or something
I am EXTREMELY clumsy
I'm pretty smart (really I'm not trying to brag) in all other subjects with the exception of science and sport 🙁
I'm really rough with toys, dolls, tech anything in general I pull it apart and basically destroy it
I DO have trouble understanding others emotions a lot of the time however I can easily display them on myself
I never notice important things but really tiny things I notice and get annoyed by
people do say I can be quite rude, blunt and short (but I don't think I'm THAT short, blunt yes, rude maybe)
I have difficulty going to sleep
I am 13, girl.
Nope not Aspergers and no one here can tell you what is wrong with you if you really want to know you will have to go to a doctor but I don't think there is anything wrong with you but you are maybe a little bit self absorbed but you seem fine. I don't mean to be mean but that is this impression I got from just this little bit of info.
Don't listen to the person below..there are different severties of Asperger's. Possible his Grandfathers is more sever and not as subtle as your symptoms are, so maybe he thinks there is only "one" type of Asperger's. My husband has Asperger's but it is very mild, and he has most of the symptoms you listed above. It took many years for him to be diagnosed with it because he also has Tourettes and ADHD, so sometimes it can be very difficult to decipher between the two. After many years of being unsuccessful with treatment, ruling everything out, and close examination they finally diagnosed him with it. People think Asperger's Syndrome is painfully noticeable (Kind of like how everyone associates Tourette's with blurting out profanities, most cases don't even do this, that is a very severe and rare case!), but it really isn't like that 90% of the time. It can be something a subtle of not being able to show emotions or take an interest in others emotions, being socially awkward/unsure of oneself in social situations, and simple fixations or "obsessions" with particular subjects (sort of like autism, but milder). These are all symptoms that the normal person passing by would not even notice, this is why a lot of people don't even realize what the disorder is. I have had a few friends in my lifetime that had Asperger;s and i didn't know until years later, because it was so unnoticeable. While my Husbands is more noticeable than others, i still wouldn't consider it very severe. I would say just from what you listed, it may be Asperger's. Best to just have a Psychologist evaluate you though because physical observation is key. Usually they can tell just by looking/talking to a patient with the disorder for a few sessions to say whether or not they could have it. And you don't sound stuck up, i don't know what that person is talking about..clearly you are just concerned about your health and being honest about your personality is not being stuck up..it just means you have confidence in admitting it 🙂

The 'Thing' That Should Not Be: Prequel to Carpenter Classic Handsome but Hollow
We open with a helicopter soaring across the Antarctic plain, chasing down a terrified husky. A sharpshooter rains bullets on the snowy terrain, every one missing its target. The scene is almost comical, these hapless predators devoting such effort to a frivolous hunt. But the question remains: How did the dog set them off?
Alas, we'll never know. Before long, the hunters are dead and the husky is settled in the arms of a new master. But that initial hint of unrest throws all that follows into uncertainty. Something is amiss, and we know it's just a matter of time before the movie's darkness comes to light.
Notes from a Darkened Theater: The Thing Returns, Raimi Goes to Hell
No, it's not quite the return of John Carpenter that longtime fans have been anxiously awaiting since the 61-year-old director's last film, 2001's underrated Ghosts of Mars. But that's no reason to scoff at the news that Ronald Moore, the creative force behind the Sci-Fi Channel's much-heralded Battlestar Galactica relaunch, is planning a prequel to Carpenter's 1982 classic The Thing.

Taner Edis
Truman State University — Kirksville, MO
Taner Edis was born in Istanbul, 1967, to Turkish and American parents. After completing his undergraduate work at Boğaziçi University, he received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1994, in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics. Working in diverse areas, from atmospheric modeling with collaborators at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to the philosophy of machine intelligence, he is currently professor of physics at Truman State University, Kirksville, MO.
Fascinated by the plethora of supernatural and fringe science beliefs around him, and concerned about the rise of Islamist politics back in Turkey, Edis first got involved with skeptical inquiry into religious and paranormal claims during his graduate studies. He has since written and spoken extensively on such subjects, particularly on the topic of anti-evolutionary thought. His writing has characteristically combined scientific rigor with an ability to reach a broad audience.
Edis's first book, The Ghost in the Universe: God in Light of Modern Science, an accessible defense of a naturalistic view of the world, was published by Prometheus Books, and received the Morris D. Forkosch award for "best humanist book of 2002." With Matt Young, he co-edited Why Intelligent Design Fails: A Scientific Critique of the New Creationism (Rutgers University Press, 2004). In 2006, his Science and Nonbelief (Greenwood Press) appeared. Most recently, he wrote An Illusion of Harmony: Science and Religion in Islam (Prometheus Books, 2007), which is a unique examination of science, religion and pseudoscience in a Muslim context.

Pilates (pronounced: puh-lah-teez) improves your mental and physical well-being, increases flexibility, and strengthens muscles. Pilates uses controlled movements in the form of mat exercises or equipment to tone and strengthen the body. For decades, it's been the exercise of choice for dancers and gymnasts (and now Hollywood actors), but it was originally used to rehabilitate bedridden or immobile patients during World War I.
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination without adding muscle bulk. In addition, pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body's "core" or "powerhouse" (torso). People who do pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.
Joseph H. Pilates, the founder of the pilates exercise method, was born in Germany. As a child he was frail, living with asthma in addition to other childhood conditions. To build his body and grow stronger, he took up several different sports, eventually becoming an accomplished athlete. As a nurse in Great Britain during World War I, he designed exercise methods and equipment for immobilized patients and soldiers.
In addition to his equipment, Pilates developed a series of mat exercises that focus on the torso. He based these on various exercise methods from around the world, among them the mind-body formats of yoga and Chinese martial arts.
Joseph Pilates believed that our physical and mental health are intertwined. He designed his exercise program around principles that support this philosophy, including concentration, precision, control, breathing, and flowing movements.
There are two ways to exercise in pilates. Today, most people focus on the mat exercises, which require only a floor mat and training. These exercises are designed so that your body uses its own weight as resistance. The other method of pilates uses a variety of machines to tone and strengthen the body, again using the principle of resistance.
The great thing about pilates is that just about everyone — from couch potatoes to fitness buffs — can do it. Because pilates has gained lots of attention recently, there are lots of classes available. You'll probably find that many fitness centers and YMCAs offer pilates classes, mostly in mat work. Some pilates instructors also offer private classes that can be purchased class by class or in blocks of classes; these may combine mat work with machine work. If your health club makes pilates machines available to members, make sure there's a qualified pilates instructor on duty to teach and supervise you during the exercises.
The fact that pilates is hot and classes are springing up everywhere does have a downside, though: inadequate instruction. As with any form of exercise, it is possible to injure yourself if you have a health condition or don't know exactly how to do the moves. Some gyms send their personal trainers to weekend-long courses and then claim they're qualified to teach pilates (they're not!), and this can lead to injury.
So look for an instructor who is certified by a group that has a rigorous training program. These instructors have completed several hundred hours of training just in pilates and know the different ways to modify the exercises so new students don't get hurt.
The pilates mat program follows a set sequence, with exercises following on from one another in a natural progression, just as Joseph Pilates designed them. Beginners start with basic exercises and build up to include additional exercises and more advanced positioning.
Keep these tips in mind so that you can get the most out of your pilates workout.
Most fans of pilates say they stick with the program because it's diverse and interesting. Joseph Pilates designed his program for variety — people do fewer repetitions of a number of exercises rather than lots of repetitions of only a few. He also intended his exercises to be something people could do on their own once they've had proper instruction, cutting down the need to remain dependent on a trainer.
Before you begin any type of exercise program, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor, especially if you have a health problem.

Facebook retools mobile app install ads to boost engagement, conversions
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is overhauling its mobile app install ads program, unveiling a series of new features built to help businesses increase engagement and conversions within their applications.
The Facebook install ads, introduced last fall, promote Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android applications based on the apps and games consumers already access on their smartphones. The new features aim to reach users that have already downloaded a given app and direct them back into specific features, content or products within the software framework--businesses may choose from seven different calls to action, including universal actions like "Open Link" or "Use App," along with more vertical-specific prompts such as "Shop Now," "Play Game," "Book Now," "Listen Now," or "Watch Video."
According to Facebook, retailers can leverage the new options to notify existing mobile app users of a current sale or promotion--a game can alert existing players to new levels and features, a music app can deliver a new playlist and travel apps can offer discounted fares and getaway packages. "Our aim is to provide an end-to-end mobile solution that helps app developers reach the right people, acquire new users, keep those users engaged, and measure the performance of their campaigns," said Facebook software engineer John Ketchpaw.
Facebook mobile app install ads have now driven more than 145 million downloads across Apple's App Store and Google Play, Ketchpaw added.
Facebook now boasts 819 million mobile active users, increasing 51 percent over the second quarter of 2012. Mobile daily active users exceed 469 million. According to a recent eMarketer forecast, the social networking giant will surge from 5.35 percent global mobile ad share in 2012 to 15.8 percent this year, trailing only Google at 53.2 percent. Facebook recently announced that mobile ads now generate 41 percent of its total revenues, up from 30 percent in the first quarter of this year.

How to Make Cold Pressed Coconut Oil Part 1
Step One: Flake the Coconut
John of Discount Juicers shows you how you can make coconut flakes using a juicer. Cold pressed coconut oil is the only truly raw coconut oil.
Start with at least three coconuts, and drain the water by punching holes in the top. You can drink the coconut water, it very nutritional.
First get the meat out of the coconut shell. Cut the meat into pieces that will fit into the juicer.
Feed the pieces into the juicer and shred them. Then, spread the shreds onto dehydrator trays and dry the shreds at 118 degrees for 12 to 14 hours. These coconut flakes can then be used as they are in recipes, or make them into coconut butter or raw coconut oil.

Although Garfield County was spared from the kind of serious flooding experienced in neighboring counties during last year's spring runoff, the county remains prepared for potential flooding this spring."Stream runoff conditions could bring high water to many areas throughout Garfield County, depending on how quickly temperatures rise and the weather conditions leading up to that," Garfield County Public Works Director Betsy Suerth said in a recent memo to the county commissioners.Especially with record snow levels in the high country this spring, the flood threat over the next few weeks is significant."Currently, the peak runoff is predicted to take place in mid-June," Suerth said. "The public works staff will stay informed regarding peak flow predictions as conditions change throughout the runoff season."Any county roads that have been subject to flooding in the past will be closely monitored. Bridges are also being inspected to assess scouring potential under pilings, and crews are working to keep debris clear of culverts, she said.Four bridges in particular have been identified as "scour critical" by state and county officials, meaning they could be closed in the event of high water. They include:• County Road 108 bridge over the Crystal River.• County Road 311 bridge over the Colorado River south of Silt.• County Road 344 bridge over Divide Creek and Porter Ditch.• County Road 300 bridge over the Colorado River at Battlement Mesa."These bridges will be monitored and, if determined threatened, will be closed until the high water subsidies," Suerth said. "Detours will be provided, although some will be lengthy."An open letter sent out by the county also advises that residents, property owners and visitors should be aware of the flood threat this time of year. It explains that there are typically two types of flooding in Colorado."The first type occurs when the snow begins to melt in the high country and rivers begin to rise," the letter advises. "Flooding along rivers and streams can occur with a very rapid snow melt, or from thunderstorm rains combining with the runoff from melting snow."The second type is flash flooding, which refers to a dangerous sudden rise in water along a creek, wash, river or over a normally dry land area. In the warmer months this is usually due to heavy rainfall."Flash floods can occur within a few minutes or hours, and can move at surprisingly high speeds, striking with little warning," the letter warns.Any property owners experiencing rising flood waters from the spring runoff can obtain sand bags from the county at the Hunter Mesa Road and Bridge Shop, 0298 County Road 333A, Rifle, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.Several private businesses also have sand bags available for purchase, including:• Roaring Fork Valley Co-op, 0760 Highway 133, Carbondale• Lowe's, 0215 W. Meadows Drive, Glenwood Springs• Mr. T's Hardware & Building Supply, 6300 County Road 335, New email@example.com

The From G's to Gents reunion was everything we hoped it would be and more: Emotional, scandalous and, most of all, hilarious. Most of the humor was brought by Houston's finest, Riff Raff, who declared that he changed his name to "Raff Riff" in honor of opposite day. Also? He just discovered that "riff raff" is another term for "trash."
We also got the chance to catch up with some of our favorite G's, including Baron, who admitted that he went back to the alcohol after he left the Gentleman's Club but is no longer letting it get the best of him. And in even better news, he's moved out of the hood and into a gated community with his family — and he's starting a foundation to help kids get off the street. That, ladies and gentlemen, is true progress.
But the real show came when Fonzworth Bentley sat down to chat with Fahim, the Brooklyn-bred G with a lethal 'tude. Fahim is still having a tough go at it, and later declared that Bentley wouldn't understand his struggle — even going so far as to accuse him of running a "makeover show." Our boy Bent was very passionate in denying this and even had tears in his eyes as he explained how badly he wants to help others succeed.
What was your favorite moment from the reunion? Sound off in the Comments section below!

The event is programmed for 11.45 local time on the Chinese circuit of Zhuhai and will mark the eleventh and last round of the FIA GT championship. At the end of today's official qualifying session, the two Maseratis fielded by the AF Corse team finished in second and third position. The best times were recorded in the first of the morning sessions when Johnny Herbert and Mika Salo managed to set a series of fast laps when the track was largely free of traffic.
In the afternoon the temperature fell a little but it wasn't possible to lower the times owing to the number of cars on the circuit and the lack of grip outside the racing line. So, neither Andrea Bertolini nor Fabrizio De Simone could fully exploit the test sessions. Pole position went to Matteo Bobbi in the Ferrari 550 Maranello from the Scuderia Italia. Martin Leach, Maserati's Chief Executive paid a visit to Zhuhai after stopping by the Shanghai showroom. He will also be at the race tomorrow.
A select group of VIPs and Maserati clients have been invited to the watch the race. They will also be able see and parade of Spyders and Coupés before the main event.

Cuts Watch brief
Last updated: 23 November 2011
Author: David Hall
Download PDF version of this brief here: http://www.psiru.org/sites/default/files/Bulgaria-cwbrief-Nov2011.pdf
Bulgaria wanted to join the Euro in 2010, but the EU said it needed to demonstrate more 'fiscal prudence' and reduce the rate of inflation. So the Bulgarian government set a new target year of 2013, and wanted to impress the EU "by garnishing the application with a targeted balanced 2010 budget, and the smallest 2009 deficit in the EU". In 2008 it introduced a 'flat tax' of 10% for incomers and company profits – the lowest tax rate in the EU; and in December 2009 it cut VAT rate from 20% to 17%. It announced special drives against tax evasion by musicians and footballers.
In 2009 the newly elected rightwing government decided not to seek an IMF loan, although GDP fell by 6.5%, but adopted its own 'austerity' budget for 2010, including:
- No change to the flatrate 10% tax on incomes and profits, or taxes on alcohol
- An increase of 43% in tax on cigarettes, and a new 15% gambling tax
- Social security payments cut by 2% from January 2010
- A freeze on the minimum wage and pensions
- cuts in funding for education, science and universities
- healthcare and social security reforms (see below)
- Privatisation of 29 companies to raise 80 billion lev (€40 billion),
During 2010 unemployment rose by 31% (EAPN), and the forecast government deficits for 2010 and 2011 had to be revised upwards, due to lower tax revenues and higher social security payments a- the effects of continued recession. The privatisation programme delivered very little: the government managed to sell only 9 companies, for a total of 2.9 billion lev. The budget for 2011 introduced further austerity to try and meet the EU target: social security contributions were raised by 1.8% points, in a meeting boycotted by trade unions, and the Christmas bonuses of government staff were cancelled in 2011.
The effects of the cuts have led to demonstrations and protests by unions, students, teachers, police, musicians, filmmakers, librarians and many other groups. A coalition was formed to ensure that different groups did not simply fight each other for limited spending, but instead demanded that 5% of GDP should be spent on healthcare, instead of the planned 3.8%; 5% on education, instead of the envisioned 3.3%, 1% of GDP for science, and 1% for culture.
1.1. Healthcare
As in other countries in central Europe, there is a great battle over healthcare 'reforms', which include cuts, closures, patient charges and privatisations. The government plans since 2009 have included:
- Reduced rights: 380 000 Bulgarians lost their rights to free healthcare
- cuts in healthcare spending: the state budget for hospitals was cut by 24% in 2009 alone, and the overall budget for 2010 was cut by 16%. Total healthcare spending fell to 4.2% of GDP, far lower than other European countries.
- closing 21 large hospitals, and closing or reducing 130 other centres – out of a total of 350 hospitals.
- Privatisation of hospitals and services: the health minister stated in 2010 that "Privatisation is the way to go. There must be privatisation of both hospitals and the services provided by hospitals".
- imposing 'co-payments' of 20% by patients for hospital treatment – but there would no longer be a requirement to be referred by a GP.
There has been massive opposition from the public, doctors and nurses, and health providers. Two health ministers were forced to resign during 2010 because of this public opposition, and accusations of misuse of national Health fund. By the end of 2010 the government had been forced to restore many of the budget cuts.
1.2. Pensions
In addition to freezing the level of pensions in 2011, the government is increasing the retirement age and the years of service required
- Retirement age: in November 2011 the government announced that the retirement age would be raised with immediate effect, in 2012, from 63 to 64 for men, and from 60 to 61 for women. (The previous 'reform' plans included an increase in retirement age, but not until 2021, followed by further gradual increases until it reached 65 for men in 2024 and 63 for women in 2026).
- Years of service: in 2010 the government decided to increase the years of service required from 37 to 40 for men, and from 34 to 37 for women. This would be phased in by adding an extra four months each year from 2012 to 2020.

If the only thing you care about is the name of the man who wins the WDC, I don't see how you can call yourself an F1 fan.
In the 5 years of the 'Schumacher era' from 2000 to 2004 he was challenged to the title only once, in 2003. The other years he scored double to triple the points of the nearest non-Ferrari driver. Other than the fact that a German driver is winning, which seems to really infuriate certain people, there is no comparison between then and now.

Should I breastfeed or bottle-feed my baby?
I know breast milk is best for my baby but the thought of nursing fills me with dread. I keep saying I'm planning to breastfeed but the closer I get to my due date, the more my anxiety grows. Meanwhile, the thought of bottle-feeding fills me with relief. Should I try to breastfeed or go with bottle-feeding?

My mother wasn't able to breast feed me. She tried for just a few weeks but I was allergic to her milk. I grew up formula fed and turned out fine! I don't have any health problems whatsoever. Although I'm planning on breast feeding, if it doesn't work out that way, I'll change. Either way you choose, as long as your child is getting the proper nutritions, you'll both be fine.posted 03/07/2006 by lnylvsme
Why make a new mom feel pressured to do something she may not be comfortable with? By not bf'ing, she is by no means endangering her child's life - I'm so tired of this argument because it is just exaggerated to scare new mommies into bf. My sis in law and best friend ebf for over a year with all their kids and never said a word when I decided to ff my daughter. They by no means share your opinion on ff being a dangerous option - they were happy that I was able to have a way of feeding my daughter available to me that let me truly enjoy my first months as a new mom without the added stress of bf'ing when it is something I already knew I didn't want to do. My daughter is 1 now - doing great - we're having another this summer and I will ff that baby too. I'm so happy that in such an already difficult time of being a new mom I was able to look forward to every feeding my daughter had and really soak up all the cuddle time with her as a newborn since that stage goes so quickly.posted 03/07/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes, precisely. There are enough dangers out there already, so why court problems by feeding your child something that is unnecessary in most cases and can potentially be fatal. Yes, fatal. Some of the formula contaminations ARE that bad. And there is NO brand that is always safe. Formulas are all essentially the same, they have to be by law. Liquid formula and concentrates are definitely safer than powder, but there can still be problems. Again, why ask for problems when nature provides you with something that is safe and sterile and better than formula in every way?posted 03/06/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Even people who bf can have recalls on their cribs, carseats, swings... all things that pose a danger to their child - don't scare or pressure moms into their decision because of a recall on a specific kind of formula. This is why it's important to be aware of what formula you are using, how it is made, and keep yourself educated on that brand. Things happen that are out of our control, and recalls are one of them. The important thing is to pay attention to them and then heed the warnings. I won't stop eating certain meats or veggies even though there have been recalls on those over the past several years...just pay attention, and keep yourself educated.posted 03/03/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I just saw on Babycenter that there was yet another formula recall (this time there are pieces of metal in the formula). Just another reason why breast is best. No recalls ever on breastmilk!!posted 03/02/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
If you want to try and bf, then I think that is a great thing - surround yourself with lots of support and good resources, like an LC that can help you if you have trouble. If you want to ff, then that's fine too - research what kind of formula you want to use and what bottles you want to try and use. Whatever you decide, just make sure you are comfortable with your decision and enjoy every moment with your little baby - time goes incredibly fast!!!posted 02/27/2006 by grian
no you misunderstood me - I wasn't insulting any one person here by saying that, I was pointing out that the WAY the previous two posters were acting towards one another in regards to the issue was a bit immature. I think there is a difference between insulting people on a personal level (what they were doing) and describing a way that someone is acting towards another person. (what I was trying to do). Anyway, not to get the board off subject - Read my other previous posts on this board, and you'll see that actually, I don't make any ff'ing mom, or any mom for that matter, look badly.posted 02/26/2006 by grian
wait a minute, you can't insult people by calling them "picky and snotty" and then go on to say not to insult people! i ff too, but frankly you're making us look bad with comments like those!posted 02/26/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Wow there are some pretty picky and snotty people on here! I believe the question was, "are you going to breastfeed or bottle feed." Let's act like we are slightly older than the age of 13 and try to treat each other with a little bit of respect and understanding - geeeez!!!posted 02/26/2006 by grian
Oh dear, Bottle-fed Teacher, I certainly hope you don't teach my children! I think using plural pronouns when a singular pronoun is required ("Every mother knows what is best for HER child" is what you SHOULD have written) is much more egregious a mistake than writing "alot" instead of "a lot." And I won't comment further on your practically incoherent sentence construction...posted 02/25/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

Google, Sprint partner on carrier billing for digital content
Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) subscribers may now charge all Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Play multimedia purchases including music, movies and e-books directly to their monthly wireless bill.
Google first expanded the Play storefront's carrier billing capabilities earlier this month, announcing digital content billing partnerships with T-Mobile USA and Japanese carriers NTT DoCoMo, KDDI and Softbank. The store, previously known as Android Market, has long supported carrier billing for Android applications.
Google Play launched in March 2012, replacing Google's Android Market with a more expansive digital content marketplace in the mold of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iTunes, which includes the App Store for iOS. All content purchased through Google Play is cloud-based, enabling users to access their apps, music, movies and e-books across multiple devices and locations.
Content providers have struggled to make money in Google Play: Last month, app store analytics firm Flurry reported that for every $1 generated by Apple's App Store, Google Play yields an average of $0.23 per user. The Amazon Appstore for Android, which also offers apps and media for Android devices, generates an average of $0.89 per user.
Flurry credits Amazon Appstore's success to the company's digital retail expertise, noting that Google's strengths are its search tools and advertising technologies. "Based on revenue potential, we expect to see an increasing number of developers support Amazon," writes Flurry Vice President of Marketing Peter Farago on the firm's blog. "Google will need to reduce commerce friction to maintain strong developer support."

Course overview
Take your science career beyond the lab with a combined degree that allows you to pair specialist science knowledge with a solid foundation in business and economics.
Choosing from a wide range of subjects in both streams you'll gain a unique skill-set ideal for careers in the business and management side of the science industry.
The commerce stream covers areas such as accounting, economics, management, business information systems and marketing. You'll then combine this with a relevant science stream, which may include environmental science, natural history, chemistry and materials science, animal biology, plant biology, cell biology, human biology or mathematical modelling.
Led by a team of academics who are experts in their field, our science programs offer choice from a broad range of subject areas. Science at Deakin is not just about lab work, you'll have access to the latest research findings, develop skills in evidence-based decision-making, and gain real-life work experience through our innovative practical programs.
Deakin's commerce courses are some of the most flexible and broadly based business programs on offer at any Australian university. Our Bachelor of Commerce is the only Australian Bachelor of Commerce that is internationally recognised and EPAS accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EPAS is a quality benchmark for business education programs globally.
As a graduate you'll be prepared for business, marketing and management roles in a range of science-related areas. You may also choose to continue with further study. The Bachelor of Commerce is the recommended pathway for professional accounting accreditation.
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is considered a standard full time load for one year. Each unit you study has an EFTSL value. You can add these together to calculate your study load each year. Depending on enrolment, you may be enrolled in more than or less than the one EFTSL each year.
Fee paying place - International (IFP)
A fee paying place is one for which the University does not receive any Government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute the full cost of their course.
Fees for international students apply to persons living in Australia with Temporary Resident status, provided that there is no limitation on study and persons living abroad who are not Australian citizens and do not have Permanent Resident status in Australia.
The actual course fees charged by Deakin University, is based on the course and the study load (EFTSL) being undertaken. The study load (EFSTL) value of each unit offered in 2016 can be viewed from the Unit Search.
The fees per course/unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
This indicative and annual course fees provided are a guide only. No representation is made that the information provided is current or accurate. Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on indicative course fees to calculate the total future cost of their course. Applicants can email email@example.com au for more information about 2016 fees.
Course rules
To complete the Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Science, students must attain a total of 32 credit points, consisting of 16 credit points from the Faculty of Business and Law and 16 credit points from the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment. Most units (think of units as 'subjects') are equal to 1 credit point. Course requirements for both the Bachelor of Commerce (M300) and the Bachelor of Science (S320) must be satisfied. Most students choose to study 4 units per trimester, and usually undertake 2 trimesters each year.
The 16 credit points from the Bachelor of Commerce include 8 credit points of core units, an 8 credit point major sequence and a zero credit point induction unit.
The 16 credit points from the Bachelor of Science include 8 credit points of core units, one 6 credit point approved science major sequence, 2 credit points of elective units, a zero credit point safety induction unit and a zero credit point workplace induction unit.

How to change write permissions
Our themes require write permissions on one folder and one file.
Therefore you have to change write permissions on
ait-cache directory which is in theme directory and on
style.css (this file is dynamically generated using settings from AIT Admin).
If you have access to the server via SSH
Use chmod command:
chmod 0777 ait-cache style.css
or with sudo
sudo chmod 0777 ait-cache style.css
If you have access to the server via FTP
Use your favourite FTP client application to change permissions. For the following example we used Total Commander on Windows:
From menu
Files chose
Change Attributes... And then enter 777 to text field or check all checkboxes.
This permission issue will be fixed in next releases of our AIT WordPress Framework. We're working hard on implementing WP Filesystem API for your convenience.

Went on my first group ride yesterday, a group of two, me and Charlie. We rode around the lake. 24 miles. It was not the best experience but I laughed about it all afternoon and evening.
Charlie is a friend who is about 6 years younger than me. He is a Military Academy grad, retired from the reserves, ex-fighter combat pilot, current airline pilot, former state H.S. soccer star, basketball and soccer referee, and a Triathlete. He usually competes in a Triathlon once or twice a month between April and October.
Over the winter Charlie earned a promotion and received a big pay increase. To reward himself he bought a new bike. Not any ole bike and not just a nice bike, mind you, but a Time Trail bike which looks just like the ones the pros used on Saturday at the prologue in the Tour de France. It is carbon fiber, winged handle bars, with the tucked in extensions and bar-end shifters and funny brake levers that look similar to the ones on my '66 Collegiate. The rear wheel is molded into the funky curvy looking seat tube. It weighs nothing. A stiff breeze could pick it up off the ground it is so aerodynamic. The bike screams "FAST! FASTER THAN FAST!" He paid well over $6000 for it.
So, here we are; Charlie on his brand new $6 Gs, CF, TT under 15 lb. machine, and me, Pastor Bob, on my '79, high carbon steel, 30 lb., $160 Schwinn Traveler (a 10 speed converted to a 18 speed), on our 24 mile round the lake group ride. Charlie is a very fit looking 210 lb., and I'm overweight at 250 lb. We start our ride, and I'm dropping Charlie left and right. Charlie can't keep up with me going up the hills, down the hills, nor even in the one 2 mile flat section. And he wanted to stop all the time. Now I am not fast. My cycle computer says I average 12-14 mph when I ride solo around the lake. I usually burn 1800-2200 K-Cals. Yesterday I burned only 1200 K-Cals. And I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up with Charlie. I guess 1300+ miles so far in 2006 have really paid off.

LONDON (AP) - Musician Noel Harrison, who sang the Academy Award-winning ballad "The Windmills of Your Mind," has died at 79.
Harrison's wife, Lori Chapman, said Tuesday he suffered a heart attack after a performance on Saturday in Devon, southwest England, and died later in a hospital.
The son of British actor Rex Harrison, Noel Harrison was an Olympic skier before becoming a professional musician.
"The Windmills of Your Mind" was the theme to 1968 movie "The Thomas Crown Affair" and won the best-song Oscar.
Harrison wrote on his website he did not immediately realize the power of the song, composed by Michel Legrand. He said: "I went to the studio one afternoon and sang it and pretty much forgot about it."
Harrison is survived by his wife and several children and grandchildren.

MADISON, Wisc., January 13. UNIVERSITY of Wisconsin freshman Susan Johnson and sophomore Amanda Witte have each earned Big Ten Athlete of the Week honors the conference office announced Tuesday. Johnson has been named the Big Ten Women's Co-Swimmer of the Week, while Witte was selected as the Big Ten Women's Diver of the Week.
It is the first such honor for both Johnson and Witte in their careers. Johnson's award marks the six time in the 10 weeks so far this season that the honor has been given out that a Badger woman has been the recipient. She shares this week's honor with Penn State's Margy Keefe.
Johnson, a native of Toledo, Ohio, was bestowed the award based on winning three individual events and swimming a leg on a winning relay in a meet against Hawai'i, Stony Brook and San Diego State last Friday. She helped the Badgers defeat all three opponents in the four-team dual meet by winning the 100-yard backstroke (56.59), 200-yard backstroke
(2:01.06) and the 100-yard butterfly (55.71). The winning time in the 200 back achieved an NCAA "B" cut qualifying standard. Johnson also helped the 200-yard medley relay team to victory in a time of 1:44.27.
She owns UW's top times in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke and the 100- and 200-yard butterfly this season. Johnson has automatically qualified for the 2004 NCAA Championships in the 200 backstroke after setting a school record in the event with a time of 1:57.10 at the Texas Invitational on Dec. 6. She has provisionally qualified for the NCAA meet in the 100 backstroke and the 100 butterfly.
Witte, a native of LaGrange, Ill., became the first UW women's diver to earn the weekly award from the Big Ten since Siobhan Kernan won back-to-back honors on Nov. 6 and 13, 2001. Witte posted impressive marks on both of the diving boards during Friday's dual meet. She won the 1-meter board with a point total of 291.60, while taking the 3-meter crown with a mark of 315.40 to easily outdistance the competition.
Witte followed up the effort by sweeping all three diving events at the Hawai'i Diving Invitational over the weekend. Her nine-dive performance on the platform earned her a score of 406.00 to set a new school record in the event. She also posted personal-best marks of 300.30 on the 1-meter board (six dives) and 466.45 on the 3-meter (11 dives). Her efforts surpassed the necessary standards to qualify her for the NCAA Zone qualifying competition in all three events.
