Liberia orders shutdown of all schools to contain Ebola
Newscast Media MONROVIA—Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf says
the country will close all schools in a bid to contain Ebola.
"All schools are ordered closed following further directives from the
Ministry of Education," Sirleaf said in a televised interview on Wednesday.
"All non-essential staff—to be determined by the heads of ministries and agencies,
are to be placed on 30 days' compulsory leave."
Sirleaf also stated that Liberia would allocate $5 million as an "initial contribution" to
the regional fight against Ebola.
The president's announcement follows her order on Monday to close most of the
country's land borders.
Liberia, together with neighboring Guinea and Sierra Leone, is fighting a hard battle to
prevent the spread of the deadly disease.
According to the World Health Organization, at least 1,201 people have been infected
in these three countries since the start of the year.
Guinea is the worst-hit country with 319 deaths as of July 23. Liberia has reported
129 deaths, while 224 have lost their lives in Sierra Leone.
There is currently no known cure for Ebola, a form of hemorrhagic fever whose
symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding.
The virus spreads through direct contact with infected blood, feces or sweat. It can
also be spread through sexual contact or the unprotected handling of contaminated
Ebola was first discovered in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1976 in an outbreak
that killed 280 people.
It remains one of the world's most virulent diseases, which kills between 25 to 90
percent of those who fall sick.

Russia warns US of tangible losses after additional sanctions
Newscast Media MOSCOW—Russia warned the US on Wednesday that economic
sanctions imposed by Washington against Moscow over the Ukrainian crisis will only
further worsen relations between the two countries.
"Washington will gain nothing from such decisions except for further complication of
Russian-American relations and the creation of an unfavorable atmosphere in
international affairs, where the cooperation between our countries often plays a key
role," a statement released by the Russian foreign ministry stated.
"We have repeatedly spoken about the illegitimacy and groundlessness of the US
sanctions against Russia," it said, commenting on a new package of sanctions

Foreigners asked to leave Libya immediately due to raging battle
Newscast Media TRIPOLI—Several countries have advised their nationals in Libya to
leave the country immediately amid a raging battle in the capital Tripoli. On Sunday,
Cairo called on its citizens in Tripoli and Benghazi to seek "safer areas in Libya or head
to the Libya-Tunisia border."
The violence also prompted Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands to follow
Previously, Belgium, Malta, Spain and Turkey did the same and called out their
nationals. The US also pulled out its diplomatic staff on Saturday.
Libya is witnessing one of its worst spasms of violence since the ouster of longtime
dictator Muammar Gaddafi in a popular uprising in 2011.
Clashes in the capital broke out between rival militias on July 13 over the control of
the main international airport.
The airport has been controlled by militias from the town of Zintan since the
overthrow of Gaddafi.
Rival groups have unleashed dozens of rocket attacks on the airport in a bid to bring
it under their control.
Two weeks of fighting in the capital has left 97 people dead and over 400 injured.
Another 38 people were also killed in the ongoing clashes between the army and
militant groups in Benghazi on Sunday.
Nearly three years after the fall of Gaddafi, Libya is still grappling with rising insecurity
as the country has been witnessing numerous clashes between government forces
and rival militant groups.
The former rebels refuse to lay down arms despite efforts by the central government
to impose law and order.
Thousands of angry Libyan demonstrators frequently take to the streets in different
cities to protest against the lack of security across the North African country.

Pope meets Sudanese woman who refused to denounce faith
Newscast Media VATICAN CITY—Meriam Ibrahim, the woman who was sentenced to
death in Sudan for refusing to renounce her Christian faith, arrived Thursday in Italy
and met with Pope Francis in the Casa Santa Marta. During the meeting, she was
accompanied by her family: Husband Daniel Wani, Martin (a year and a half), and
Maya, born in prison two months ago.
Her family was accompanied by the Italian Deputy Foreign Minister, Lapo Pistelli, who
helped arrange her departure from Sudan and travelled with her to Italy.
The head of the Vatican Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi, SJ, said the meeting
took place in a "very serene and affectionate" environment, and Pope Francis
thanked Meriam for her "courageous witness to perseverance in the Faith."
Fr. Lombardi said Meriam thanked the Pope for his prayers, saying they provided great
support and encouragement.
The Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi had earlier welcomed Meriam and her family at
Rome's Ciampino airport, calling it "a day of celebration."
Meriam Ibrahim was sentenced to death over charges of apostasy, since her father
was a Muslim. She married her husband, a Christian, in a church ceremony in 2011.
She was told if she accepted Islam she would be freed, but she told the court she
would never apostatize from her Christian faith. Her death sentence was overturned
in June, but she was then stopped at the airport and blocked from leaving the
country by Sudanese officials who questioned the validity of her travel documents.
Fr. Lombardi said Pope Francis met with Meriam's family to show his closeness,
concern and prayers for all those who suffer for their faith, and especially for
Christians who suffer persecution or restrictions on their religious freedom.
Meriam and her family will settle in the United States.

France redeploys troops into several of its former colonies
Newscast Media PARIS—French president has announced the redeployment of 3,000
French military forces in five of its former colonies across northwest Africa as a part
of what it referred to as an anti-terrorist operation.
President Francois Hollande stated on Saturday that the new operation code-named
"Barkhane" after a crescent-shaped dune in Sahara desert — will be out of Chad and
will help "secure" the region in the fight on what he referred to as regional terrorism.
Hollande further underlined the importance of engagement by African forces.
This is while Chadian President Idriss Deby asserted that it is not always France's job
to ensure security in the region and that African nations must also take charge.
The two counterparts met in Chad following the French president's visits to Niger and
Ivory Coast.
Operation Barkhane will reportedly involve Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad and
Mali, where French troops intervened in 2013 under the pretext of routing radical
militants in the mineral-rich African country.
The development comes just days after Mali and France signed a new military
cooperation pact to jointly wage a battle against militants in the West African
country. The agreement on Wednesday was reached between French Defense
Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and his Malian counterpart Bah N'Daw in the Malian
capital Bamako.
In January 2013, France deployed its troops to its former colony under the pretext of
halting the advance of the Tuareg fighters in the African country's north.

Russia denies being behind downed Ukrainian aircraft
Newscast Media MOSCOW—Russia's Defense Ministry denied on Thursday it had shot
down a Ukrainian airplane and called the accusation by Kiev "absurd", Russian state
news agency RIA reported.
"It is absurd, just like all the previous accusations from Kiev's leadership against
Russia's Defense Ministry," a ministry spokesman was quoted as saying.
A Ukrainian SU-25 fighter plane was shot down. It was on military operations over the
east of Ukraine, where government forces are fighting to quell a pro-Russian
separatist rebellion.
The Ukrainian military accused Russia of shutting down the jet. It was the first time
Ukraine had directly accused Russia of using air power in the war. In a previous
attack on a military transporter, which it said was launched from Russia, Kiev was
unable to specify whether it came from land-based missiles or airborne.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the plane was brought down on Wednesday night
near Amvrosiyivka, about 15 km (about 9 miles) from the border with Russia, by
rockets which hit it in the tail as it wheeled away from the border.
The pilot safely ejected, Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for the National Defense and
Security Council, told journalists.
The downing of the SU-25 came against a background of increasingly strident
charges of direct Russian involvement in the three and a half month conflict in which
the pro-Western government in Kiev is fighting to put down a rebellion by separatists
who want a future in Russia.

US: Russia building up troops along Ukrainian border again
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The US has accused Russia of again building up its
forces along the border with eastern Ukraine, where fighting continues. Kyiv says its
troops have battled separatists around three Ukrainian border towns.
The US Department of Defense on Wednesday said it had detected up to 12,000
Russian combat troops on Ukraine's eastern border and accused Russia of continuing
to support separatists in eastern Ukraine.
In May, apparently in response to Western pressure, Russian reduced its border
forces – put by the US at 40,000 – down to about 1,000.
But, in Washington on Wednesday, US defense spokesman Army Colonel Steve
Warren estimated that 12,000 were present. He described the Russian units as
"battalion task groups" and "combat soldiers."
"I can't speak for what they intend to do. Certainly, it is intimidating," Warren said.
Moscow has repeatedly denied sending advanced weapons being used by separatists
since they were evicted by Ukrainian forces from their stronghold of Slavyansk 10
days ago.
Ukraine's Kyiv-based government on Wednesday said it had lost 11 servicemen in the
past 24 hours during fighting around three towns close to Ukraine's border with
Ukrainian national security spokesman Andriy Lysenko identified them as the towns of
Amvrosyika, Marynivka and Izvarne. Troops had been backed by Ukrainian artillery and
aviation, he added.
Rebel leader Igor Strelkov said two of his fighters were killed during a rebel bid to cut
off government forces east of Donetsk.
Lysenko said Ukrainian warplanes had been cleared to resume flights over the east.
Two days ago, a government Antonov-26 transport plane was downed. Kyiv alleged
that it was fired from Russia.

Kerry Cites Very Real Gaps in Iran Nuclear Talks
Newscast Media VIENNA—U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says nuclear talks with
Iran have made good progress but there is "still work to do" to meet a July 20
deadline. Speaking after talks in Vienna between six world powers and Iranian
officials, Kerry said there have been "tough negotiations" and that "very real gaps"
remain in the positions of the two sides.
He said he still believes there is a path forward and that both sides are working in
good faith.
Kerry said he is returning to Washington to consult with President Barack Obama and
Congress about the prospects for a long-term deal with Iran.
Kerry said he has told Iranian officials that the 19,000 nuclear centrifuges the
country possesses are too many.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech last week that Iran
needs tens of thousands more centrifuges.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in a separate news conference on
July 15, said that although he still hopes a deal would be possible by the July 20
deadline, he believed enough progress has been made to justify an extension.

California court backs expulsion of tranny from Christian university
by Stoyan Zaimov
Newscast Media LOS ANGELES—A California trial court has backed a private Southern
Baptist school over its right to expel a transgender student, who is accused of
committing fraud by applying for admission as a female. The court has also, however,
awarded $4,000 in damages to the plaintiff for being excluded from the school's
ancillary programs that are open to the public, such as the library and restaurants.
MSNBC reported on Monday that the student in question is 27-year-old Domaine
Javier, who was born as a biological male but has identified as female since childhood.
California Baptist University expelled Javier for fraud violations in 2011, after Javier
appeared in an episode of MTV's "A True Life" and admitted to being born a male.

UN Security Council Calls For Ceasefire in The Gaza Conflict
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The U.N. Security Council expressed on Saturday
serious concern about the welfare and protection of civilians, calling for a ceasefire in
hostilities between Palestinians and Israelis.
"The Security Council members called for de-escalation of the situation, restoration of
calm, and reinstitution of the November 2012 ceasefire," the 15-member body said in
a statement.
It also expressed "serious concern regarding the crisis related to Gaza and the
protection and welfare of civilians on both sides" and called for respect for
international humanitarian law.
Israel rushed an eighth missile interceptor battery into service on Saturday to
counter stronger-than-expected rocket fire from Gaza as the military pounded civilian
and governmental buildings in the Palestinian enclave for a sixth day.
The United States and Jordan were unable to reach agreement on a Security Council
statement on the crisis earlier this week, diplomats said. Council statements have to
be agreed by consensus.
Palestinian U.N. Ambassador Riyad Mansour accused the council of dragging its feet
and said Saturday's statement had only been agreed after the Arab Group, the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Non-Aligned Movement threatened to
push for a resolution on the issue.

Pentagon mulls drone strike against ISIL rebel leader al-Baghdadi
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The Pentagon has a plan that would recommend US
President Barack Obama authorize drone attacks against the leader of the so-called
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Several defense officials spoke to the news media and said the circumstances that
would allow President Obama to order a drone strike are being deliberated. "He is a
person of great interest to us," a defense official pentagon told CNN Wednesday of
the terrorist organization's leader.
For a kill mission to happen, the U.S. must prove that the target poses a threat to
the U.S. and its interests, such as the U.S. Embassy staff in Baghdad. Such a strike
must be approved by Obama.
The US has already placed a $10 million bounty on Baghdadi's head. According to
CNN, Baghdadi is essentially on a US "kill list" and is one of Washington's "high value
targets" on whom US forces are collecting intelligence.
Meanwhile, some US officials – including Obama's former ambassador to Iraq, Ryan
Crocker, and Republican Sen. John McCain – have repeatedly raised concerns about
the threat posed by ISIL militants to America.
Officials told the network that capturing al-Baghdadi alive would be a difficult task
since the U.S. military allegedly does not have combat troops on the ground in either
Iraq or Syria.

US promises to resolve double agent tensions with Germany
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—US officials have vowed to resolve tensions after a
German intelligence employee allegedly acted as a double agent for Washington.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has said such behavior, if true, would contradict mutual
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Washington was aware of the report that
a German double agent had spied for the US, but said he could not comment on
intelligence matters.
"We are committed to making sure that we resolve this issue with the Germans
appropriately," Earnest said.
"This is an intelligence matter," Earnest said. "It's a matter that is under investigation
by the German law enforcement authorities, so I'm not in a position to comment on it
from here."
US-German relations were put to test last year by the revelation that the National
Security Agency had been spying on the mobile phone of Chancellor Angela Merkel.
On Friday, the US ambassador to Berlin was called to a meeting at the Foreign
Ministry over reports that a 31-year-old employee of the German foreign intelligence
agency had been feeding information to a spy agency for two years.
Though Earnest would not confirm or deny the allegations, he sought to limit any
diplomatic damage by stressing the importance of the "close partnership" between
Germany and the US.
"The relationship that the US has with Germany is incredibly important," Earnest said.
"That partnership is built on respect. It is based on decades of cooperation and shared values."
'Clear contradiction of mutual trust' Merkel addressed the matter earlier on Monday, saying that "if the reports are correct, it would be a serious case."
"It would be for me a clear contradiction as to what I consider to be trusting
cooperation between agencies and partners," she added.Over the weekend, the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung am Sonntag reported that the suspect, who was arrested last Wednesday, had also made contact with Russian authorities.Government spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz said Germany was waiting until a prosecution report on the claims had been completed before giving a detailed response.

in the Mexican Oil & Gas Market
- Get an overview of reform legislation and the possible
impacts to Mexican oil & Gas development
- Evaluate where the best opportunities lie for new players
- Assess midstream and downstream prospects
- Learn about new possibilities in offshore development
Reforms are coming to the Mexican oil and gas industry now that will open up the industry to investment opportunities by international players. With up to 600 trillion cubic feet of shale reserves, Mexico has approximately 10% of the worlds shale resources resources that could see significant development with current reforms. And, Mexicos offshore drilling already expanding in recent years is predicted to see significant development post-reform.
As the reform legislation takes shape and moves forward, much is yet to be determined. How far will reform go? Based on what is passed, what specific new opportunities will arise? What players will see new opportunities, and where? Mexicos recent energy minister, Jordy Herrera, has stated that he expects shale oil and gas resources to attract 7-10 billion in investment dollars a year. Some companies are already quietly putting plans in place on the U.S. side of the border in anticipation of the Mexican reforms.
To provide a forum where stakeholders on both sides of the border can meet, learn about the latest opportunities and position themselves as first-movers as reforms overhaul Mexicos current oil and gas development paradigm, Infocast has developed Mexico Oil & Gas Opportunities: Post-Reform. This is a unique opportunity to meet key decision-makers across the oil & gas value chain, assess opportunities and develop new business as Mexico energy reform happens.

First exhibited in Tokyo in 1979, Kohei Yoshiyuki's (Japan, b. 1946) twin projects The Park and Love Hotel ignited furious debate about photography's relationship with voyeurism and surveillance.
Yoshiyuki was a young commercial photographer in Tokyo in the early 1970s when he and a colleague walked through Chuo Park in Shinjuku one night. They noticed a couple on the ground, then spectators lurking in the bushes. Fascinated by these illicit games of cat and mouse, Yoshiyuki spent the next six months becoming a participant. "To photograph the voyeurs", he later wrote, "I needed to be considered one of them". Returning with his camera, loaded with infrared flashbulbs and film, he photographed in three different Tokyo parks over several years. The resulting body of work captures heterosexual and homosexual couples engaged in sexual activity, and the peeping toms who stalked them.
Open Eye Gallery's installation echoes the original exhibition in 1979 at Komai Gallery in Tokyo, where prints were shown inside a darkened space, illuminated by the torches of visitors.
Alongside The Park Open Eye Gallery presents a selection of works from Yoshiyuki's companion series Love Hotel (1978). These photographs are taken from sex tapes made by the clients of an infamous Tokyo book-by-the-hour hotel. "The grainy vagueness of these still images… alternately invites and frustrates, underscoring all the more forcefully that the truth about eros lies not in what you see, but, ultimately, in what you fail to" (Artforum, 2007).
This is the first UK solo exhibition of Kohei Yoshiyuki and forms part of Liverpool Biennial 2012 – The Unexpected Guest.

At our favourite watering hole in The Village, Andrew tells us about the guy he was seeing who wanted to be smothered with a pillow during climax. Steve reminds us about the time he picked up a guy who turned out to be a hooker.
Sharing sexual horror stories is a healthy release, and being able to laugh it off eases the shame. So, I buy another round of drinks to prepare my friends for the most horrific sex story of the night: my first rim job, which turned out to be my last.
The year was 1999. I was 19 years old, just out of the closet and a virgin. My first boyfriend, the "Italian Cookie," and I were hanging out at my friend's apartment. We were staying the night, and because a guest was already taking the couch, we took the summer bed set up on the balcony. Around midnight, everyone was heading to sleep, so the Italian Cookie and I went out to the balcony, stripped down to our underwear and climbed under the sheets. There was only limited privacy but the Italian Cookie wanted to fool around. I was uncomfortable, but he was adamant and horny. Things quickly went from kissing and over-the-clothes groping to no clothes, and the application of lubricant.
I wanted him to fuck me but I was scared to death for a number of reasons: it was my first time with penetration, we were on my friend's balcony, and there was a big Jamaican woman named Olive on the couch only a few feet inside the screen door.
His persistence and throbbing urge to be inside me put my mind and body in a sexual daze and within minutes my inhibitions flew right off the balcony.
We started going at it, but after a few minutes I couldn't keep going, so I told him to stop. He obliged, but proceeded to flip me over and start rimming me. Being a naive virgin, I didn't know what he was doing back there, nor did I know exactly how clean I was. I was on all fours and nervous as hell, but apparently clean, because he was enjoying himself.
Then, without warning, I farted.
Italian Cookie sat up with a disgusted look on his face. He quickly pulled at his tongue the way you do when lint or fluff is stuck on it. I was mortified and speechless.
My first thought was that Olive knew what we were doing, heard what had just happened and was going to tell the world come morning. I started apologizing profusely to the Italian Cookie.
Surprisingly, he was very mature about the situation and after that night, we never spoke about it. But, of course, I couldn't get it out of my head.
I concluded that it wasn't a fart, but a queef– an anal queef caused by the penetration right before the rim job. Well, at least that explanation helps me sleep at night.
It's been years since that incident, and to this day I don't rim or get rimmed. I'm far from being the nervous little virgin I was back then, but for some reason I just can't get the courage to try it again. Is there such a thing as rimming phobia?
Whenever the subject comes up nowadays with friends or partners, my stance is firm. Oh well, a rimless sex life is no loss to me. I didn't enjoy it anyway.
As I looked around the table, my friends looked shocked, but then we all burst out laughing.
"So that's why you hate rimming," Steve says.
"You should try it again to get over your fear," Andrew says.
"Yeah, you just haven't been worked by the right guy yet," a man says leaning in from the table next to ours.
Apparently, I was loud enough for the whole front section of the bar to hear. Now that's frightening.

Additional Information
Important InformationThis loan provides farmers and low-income entrepreneurs from underserved rural areas with access to financial services. By supporting this loan, you allow more farmers and rural entrepreneurs to access capital.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center Geriatric Fracture Program is dedicated exclusively to the care of older patients with fractures.
Our program:
Each patient in the Avera McKennan Geriatric Fracture Program is managed by a team comprised of:
All of these experienced professionals work together to create care plans that best manage the care of fracture patients.
Fractured bones can cause a tremendous amount of pain, and effective pain management is one of the Avera McKennan Geriatric Fracture Program's primary goals from the time a patient arrives. In addition to pain management by medicine, we aim for early surgical treatment to relieve the pain from the fracture. After surgery, pain management remains an important focus and pain continues to be managed by our dedicated team.
Researchshows that patients who are evaluated and treated quickly after a hip fracture have better outcomes. That's why Avera McKennan's Geriatric Fracture Program has streamlined the admission process that allows hip fracture patients who enter the Emergency Department at Avera McKennan to receive priority care. What's more, patients in some skilled nursing facilities or assisted living facilities can be admitted directly to the program and bypass the Emergency Department altogether.
Most patients who are admitted to the program are evaluated by a physician and prepared for surgery to repair the fracture within 24 hours.
Part of the goal of the Geriatric Fracture Program is to:
This education includes:
Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center offers services to care for the range of needs geriatric fracture patients experience.

Bidvest Wits trip continues
by Sunderland AFC
SAFC hit the pitch in Johannesburg.
SAFC's head of international football development Graham Robinson continued his visit of South Africa with some hard hitting training sessions.
Graham who has been visiting Johannesburg as part of SAFC's partnership with Bidvest Wits has been putting their academy through their paces this week.
As part of the partnership between the two clubs, SAFC provides the Students with a coach four times a year to assist with their on-going youth development programme.
Graham who has worked with some of SAFC's brightest talents was keen to see what the Bidvest Wits under-21 team had in their locker.
Graham who had previously tested the club's under-15 team during the week, held a two hour session with the Students under-21 team.
The session which was based on ball retention, decision making and communication was well received by the Bidboys.
Graham explained: "The aim of the session was to take the boys out of their comfort zone, it was physically and mentally demanding but they were brilliant and really dug deep. Make no mistake these boys have the ability to go far if they really want to."
Graham also met with, Rafik Fridi, chairman of Wits Junior Football Club, the two discussed how SAFC can help support grass roots football within the area by supporting with training plans, coaching techniques and player development.
The trip is part of SAFC's continuing activities in Africa, which has seen Graham visit Ghana and another partner club, Asante Kotoko.

After watching this video I am left with the impression that while this video is about chest development on the surface, it carries an underlying theme of Pro four day split style training and anti fullbody,A/B, Upper/Lower, etc.
IMO, all these styles including four day split have a place and have pros and cons.
I can't argue with his results, he has built some muscle and is lean, but he seems to be regurgitating the "information" we've read for years from the fitness magazines. Which to me is a big red flag. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking at, but his chest always seemed like a gyno case to me.

Chemistry is that ineffable, undecipherable, magical quality that supposedly helps good NASCAR teams become great NASCAR teams. And, at some point in almost any conversation with anyone even tangentially associated with a team, the word will be employed.
Teams as a whole need to have chemistry, it helps if owner and driver share chemistry, and, always the most important, if drivers and crew don't have good chemistry, well, son, you might as well pack it in and start looking for that ARCA ride.
Bearing in mind chemistry's importance, consider the news that Elliott Sadler, unceremoniously dumped in favor of AJ Allmendinger by Gillett Evernham Motorsports just before Christmas, intends to sue GEM. Sadler, who signed a contract extension earlier in 2008, maintains that his only goal is to secure his job as driver of the No. 19 in 2009 … for the hell of it, let's assume he wins and somehow manages to find himself back at GEM in another month or so – think there might be a few hard feelings over there in the No. 19 shop?
Chemistry? Elliott Sadler and GEM and the No. 19 team, they don't need no stinkin' chemistry!!

Radio: DX18QQ, Spektrum AR6210 receiver (spektrumrc.com)
Motor: 4 Dualsky XM2830CA Hornet, ESC 4 Dualsky XC22A-Hornet (2dogrc.com)
Battery: 3-cell 2200mAh Mad Dog LiPo (2dogrc.com)
Prop: 9×4.7 SF (included)
Quadcopters keep hitting hobby store shelves and continue to be a growing segment of our hobby. There is a good reason for that — they are easy to fly, you can add a camera and have an eye in the sky, and you can fly just about anywhere. After assembling a number of quads, I have to say that the 2DogRC Dualsky Hornet 460 is one of the easiest to assemble and get up in the air quickly. Most of the unit is reinforced plastic parts with some carbon-fiber reinforcement pieces at key points (center section and arms).
The motor arms are assembled out of the box with the motors and speed controls already installed and hooked up. The instructions are very clear, precise, and easy to follow, and all the parts are packaged in boxes and bags that are well marked for each step. The motor arms are well marked in the box so you know which go in the front and which go in the back. This is important because of the rotation of the motors. The arms also have two different-colored LED lights around the edge to make orientation and night flying easier. Overall, this is a very easy aircraft to put together and just about as easy to fly. I would even say that a new pilot could easily build and fly the Dualsky Hornet 460.
If you take all the parts out to examine them, be sure to set them back in the same box. Using the labeling on the box will make assembling the quad a little easier. The first step is to install a landing gear to each arm. The screws and bolts on this kit are rather tight and will require a good-fitting Phillips screwdriver to avoid stripping out the heads. I ended up using the largest screwdriver that would still fit in the holes. Next, I started screwing in each of the arms, which required four small screws each. Each arm slides onto the base flange, so there is a good connection before locking it into place with the four screws. Be sure to slide the correct arm into the bottom case slot, just match up the number on the base slot with the number on the arm. The numbers on the arms are located on the bottom. However, don't look for numbers. Instead, depending on the arm you are looking at, there are dots marked on each arm ranging from one to four dots.
Now the cables can be connected from the mainboard to the flight controller and receiver. There are four plug ports on the main board for the cables and jumper. The largest plug (cable A) connects into port A on the mainboard with one of its plugs going into the C-port. Again, all of these cables, and plugs on the cables, are clearly marked and identified. The two jumpers are switches for the LEDs on each of the arms, each jumper making a connection between two arms. The four plugs on cable A are now plugged into the four speed control slots on the Dualsky Flight Controller. Then the other three cables that came with the Hornet 460 are plugged into the receiver and flight controller. Again, all the plugs are color coded, so there is no doubt about where they go. The only decision I had to make was which layout to use for the placement of the receiver and the controller. They can go on the bottom plate or the top plate, so I went with the top plate in order to have access to them if I need to adjust them later on.
The last step was to install the props: black in the rear and white in the front, making sure of the location for the normal and reversed props (there is one of each in both colors). Next, add the blue canopy and instal the battery pack on the bottom.
I decided to have both the controller and the receiver on the top tier of the unit to allow for easy access.
From start to finish, it took just about an hour to have the Hornet 460 ready for flight.
Smile, You're On Camera
One of the things that quadcopters do well is become a flying platform for photography and video. So, it only made sense to get the Dualsky Hornet GoPro mount. This kit includes the mount made from G10 material and the bolts and nuts to install the mount to the center section. There are also some rubber grommets that are used to help reduce vibration from the quad or "jelly" effect from the quad during videos.
The unit itself is very easy to install and the only tricky part is getting the rubber grommets in, but I found that using an old screwdriver (one that is not sharp) helped to get them in without tearing them up. You could also use some petroleum jelly to make it easier for them to slip in. I was very pleased at the results of this mount and how solid the video looks. There are two ways to mount the GoPro: either under or over the center section. Mounting it under will keep the props out of your images, but does put the GoPro close to the ground. I left my canopy off, but if you want to put it back on you will need to make your own measurements and cuts on it to make it fit. Overall, this mount is a great addition to your Hornet 460 for only $24.99.
In the Air
There are three flight rates on the Hornet 460. The default is for hovering and slow flight, the middle rate is for fast flight and sport flying, and the high rate is for extreme flight and flips! During my first flight at my local flying field, which has a nice asphalt runway, the Hornet 460 was set on low rates. However, afterwards I was able to take off this bird from dirt, grass, and the roof of my car. Takeoff was very uneventful, and even during the very first flight the Hornet pulled straight up and needed very little correction to keep it on track. Once we got it in a hover, it needed very little stick movement to keep it on track. After a little hovering, it was time for forward flight and the Hornet did not disappoint. It was easy to fly and maneuver around while flying forward. When it came time to land, I found it very easy to bring the Hornet around and pull it up for an stress-free landing. Because of the solid landing gears, I couldn't help but bounce it a little on the pavement. Landing on the grass and dirt made for a softer landing. I think I just need a little more time on the sticks to grease in the landings on pavement.
Stability: Stability is great! On low rates this bird is solid in the air and will stay in one spot with hands off the transmitter.
Tracking: It is very effortless to guide the Hornet in a straight line right down the runway. Once in forward flight, I had no problem guiding it all around the flying field.
Aerobatics: Absolutely, just flip the rates to high and you can flip this bird from side to side and front to back. Hard angle turns are easy to pull off on high rates.
Glide and stall performance: No such thing with quads; they all glide like bricks.
This is a great second quad for anyone. The price is right and it is solid and stable in the air. The only reason I would not recommend this as your first bird is because of all the plastic parts, which give this a great look, but I am not so sure how it would handle the inevitable beating a new pilot would give to his first quad. Once you get a handle on landing and flying, then head to 2DogRC's website, pick up a Dualsky Hornet 460, and go have some fun.
There really is very little building to be done to get this quad flying. It can easily be completed in one evening. If you can see colors and follow simple directions, you will not have any issues putting this bird together. Once at the flying field, you should not have any issue getting the Hornet 460 in the air and flying it around. It is a very stable bird, but pilots who are new to quad flying should seek the help of an experienced quad pilot for the first flight.

Still experiencing weirdness with Search and Advanced Search.
In Desktop build 1593, WInXP.
I have a user who gets fewer results than expected when using Advanced Search, or when using shortcut search box ("from:[someone]")
I have just installed Desktop on a twin laptop, with the user's account...and even before the user's account has fully propagated on my Twin PC, I am getting more complete results than the user does on his own laptop (original twin).
I reindexed his mailbox Thursday, but his installation of Z Desktop still came back with poor results.
Where should I look for this search problem.

This in-house expertise in the field of high performance sealing materials, combined with close co-operations with universities, has given us a competitive edge on our competitors.We offer our customers not only a wide range of class leading standard materials, but we can also develop specialist compounds to meet specific needs when required. In sealing technology, mainly representatives of two groups of macromolecular ( polymeric) substances are used, i.e. substances of the groups of elastomers and thermoplastics. Macromolecular substances are organic compounds whose molecules exist of several thousands, often even millions, of atoms which are known as macro, giant, string or chain molecules. They can be created either by modification of highly molecular natural materials ( e.g. natural rubber) or by depositing low-molecular elements ( so called monomers) through various chemical reactions ( synthetic materials, plastics) . POLYURETHANE, RUBBER, ... Elastomers are materials that can be highly expanded by exerting relatively little power. Because of their structure, elastomers have a high elasticity and resilience, which means the remaining deformation is very small. There are two main groups of elastomers, the chemically cross-linked materials ( rubber materials) and thermoplastic elastomers. The thermoplastic elastomers ( e.g.TPU, TPE, ...) demonstrate the characteristic properties of elastomers over a wide temperature range. They are physically but not chemically cross-linked, therefore they can be melted at higher temperature and can be processed with traditional thermoplastic processing techniques. Thermoplastic elastomers are soluble, generally, they swell less in comparison to their chemically cross-linked equivalents. The rubber materials or elastomers ( e.g. NBR, FPM, EPDM, ...) are polymers, which are formed by cross-linked macromolecules with various vulcanization additives. Due to their chemical cross-linking they do not melt and they begin to decompose at high temperatures. In addition the cross-link ensures that rubber materials do not dissolve and, depending on the medium, do suffer more or less intensive swell or shrinkage. POM, PTFE, PAEK, ... Thermoplastics can be melted. They are polymer materials, which are essentially harder and rigid at their application temperature compared to elastomers. Depending on the chemical structure, the properties vary from hard, to stiff, to ductile and flexible. Due to the morphological structure, extensive stretching is non-reversible and moulded parts remain in the deformed state. Thermoplastics are therefore called plastomers. Plastomers are mainly used as construction parts and sometimes as spring-energized sealing parts as well. • Thermoplastic elastomers up to ø 4.000 mm • Rubber materials or elastomers up to ø 1.500 mm • Plastomers & PTFE materials up to ø 2.000 mm Elastomers Thermoplastics Material availability restrictions Classification of sealing materials m Standard range of food compliant materials food compliand DMH products are well known and are specified by many of the leading companies in many different industries worldwide and are renowned for their longevity and ability to outperform traditional seals.

Years of experience in dynamic and static sealing solutions in connection with the use of modern finite element analysis programs ( FEA) for non-linear material behaviour became an important tool to optimize seal profiles, r esulting in excellent sealing characteristics for all pressure ranges and reliable performance. The state-of-the-art test rigs at DMHR& D centre support practical experience for both, linear and rotary movement of seals. Polyurethane materials: Please note, tha t seals with a diameter of more than 600 mm are made of G-PU ( as a substitute for PU or H-PU) . Rubber materials: The whole elastomer material range ( NBR, FKM, EPDM, H-NBR , ECOFLAS, MVQ) can be offered now with outer diameters up to 1550 mm. The stated operating parameters represent general conditions. It is recommended NOT to use all maximum values simultaneously.The specified pressure limits apply for use in mineral oil with a maximum temperature of 60° C and a maximum metal extrusion gap of 0, 25 mm.The speed limits apply for adequate lubrication and running surface finishes as recommended. Due to the many variable conditions to achieve sealing solutions DMH also recommends that material / media compatibility and sealing function be tested for targeted performance under actual field conditions. Depending on application details, higher pressures and speed limits can be attained in most cases. If any of the indicated limits do not meet specific requirements please contact the nearest DMH Branch or Subsidiary.

Riot death toll in Tonga reaches eight
The death toll from the riots in Tonga is now eight, with two more bodies found in the supermarket belonging to the prime minister, Dr Feleti Sevele, which was one of the first buildings razed in the rampage.
Earlier six bodies, believed to be those of looters, were uncovered in the rubble of the Shoreline Power company.
It is believed that the six were trapped after an LPG tank exploded during the arson.
Meanwhile King George V has made a public announcement promising that the looters will be brought to justice.
He has expressed his grief for the businesses and families affected .
There has been no confirmation yet on the nature of international help being sought but our correspondent, Mateni Tapueluelu, says the pro-democracy advocates have indicated they would prefer overseas police because the locals security forces are too closely linked to the King.

Underoath -- Detroit, MI -- January 19th, 2013
Letlive played 1st. I'd never heard their music before. They had great live energy and some good songs, but for some reason they rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not sure why. I'll need to check them out some more. After all, I did not like Mastodon, Lamb of God, System of a Down, Glassjaw, Dog Fashion Disco, or Mudvayne the 1st time I heard them either, and now I love those bands.
As Cities Burn was next. I saw them play a show w/ Still Remains last summer, and I was uber-dissapointed, but last night they absolutely killed it! They were great!
Mewithoutyou played next. This was my 2nd time seeing them. I thought the Underoath fans would not like them at all, but I was wrong. They put on a solid set.
Sadly this show was the last time Underoath will ever play in Detroit. I understand they want to quit now and do other things rather than dragging it on forever, but it's still sad for me cuz I'm such a big fan. They were one of those fands that literally blew me away the 1st time I saw them circa 2002 at a church in Elgin, IL. I saw them open for Living Sacrifuce, Stavesacre, and Embodyment. They totally stole the show that night. Anyway, they definitely went out w/ a bang last night. The setlist was fantastic, and they leveled the place during "Writing On The Walls" at the end. R.I.P.

- " I had a great stay at this hostel--considering how cheap it was to stay here, the location was fantastic and the hostel was nice! The bed was comfy, the room was warm, linen and towels were included, and the bathroom was very small but nice. The wifi was a bit spotty at times, but other than that I have no complaints. I would definitely stay here again. "
- 24 Mar 2016 Erika USA
- " I don't know much about the hostel other than they do not answer texts, phone calls, Skype calls or emails. Neither during work hours nor do they reply to your email afterwards. I had a plane flight that got delayed by and an hour and a half. I called immeditately upon landing at 9:45 and no one picked up. We called several times to no avail. When I arrived at the hostel, no one was there. They didn't reply to my email either. Luckily I found another place but this hostel gladly took my money. "
- 26 Sep 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Bad place. I'm supposed to check in at 1000hrs but host was uncontactable (even with the number provided) and I was left waiting out in the open before I let myself in when one of the tenants came out. Once I reached the hostel I discovered the host just woke and blamed the door bell wasn't working and said "nothing works in Rome, get used to it". Host is very rude in general, not helpful at all when asking for advice around Rome. Blankets was a mere cloth, nothing is provided, locks don't work "

- 30 Jun 2015 Anonymous Australia
- " Staff very welcoming upon arrival and throughout stay. Beds were comfortable in rooms and there was a fan provided which was definitely necessary due to the heat! Shower was always cold and the electricity flickered on sand off a few times. Location was excellent: 5 minute walk to the colusseum and 10 to Termini train station. Was happy enough for with what we paid for it. "
- 30 Jun 2015 Amy Ireland
- " Sandy is in a great location, close to Termini, a hop on - hop off bus stop, and plenty of restaurants. Sandy is on the 4th floor, 115 steps to climbs, FYI. My room was clean, the bathrooms were clean. There is no commons area, no kitchen, no AC. "

WASHINGTON (AP) — House GOP leaders are putting the final touches on legislation that would significantly water down a recently enacted overhaul of the much criticized federal flood insurance program, easing many premium increases and allowing below market rates to be passed on to people buying homes with taxpayer-subsidized policies.
The new law was aimed at weaning hundreds of thousands of homeowners off of subsidized rates, but its implementation has stirred anxiety among many homeowners along the Atlantic coast and in flood plains, many of whom are threatened with unaffordable rate increases.
GOP aides say the measure would also repeal a provision that threatens hundreds of thousands of homeowners with huge premium increases under new and updated government flood maps. The aides requested anonymity because the measure is still being finalized and hasn't been publicly released.

Beni Ourain beauties – magical Oriental carpets
Guest blogger – Melanie from Lifestyle from Amsterdam to Marrakech
Design flair and these beautiful hand-made rugs from Morocco
It's not the first time that I write about the gorgeous Beni Ouarain rugs. Im so in love with them that I went to Morocco to find some beauties for my shop El Ramla Hamra. I found them all beautiful and wanted them all. Especially the vintage ones. They are making new ones now just for commerce, but I think they are not the same like the old ones. The vintage ones have a history of decades. A Beni Ouarain rug is timeless and makes the spaces in your home so complete, warm and sophisticated. The rugs are characterized by the beautiful diamond patterns. The handmade rugs are getting more and more popular in the international interior design world. The high pole variants are so soft and thick that you almost can fall asleep on them. Modern or a classic interior it doesn't matter for the Beni Ouarain. He feels at home at any interior.

Big Winner:
The title of this week's big winner is shared between Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI) and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (XMSR). SIRI gained under 5% and XMSR gained roughly 10% this week, following an announcement that the two satellite radio rivals will be attempting to merge. More specifically, in this merger, XM shareholders will receive 4.6 shares of Sirius common stock for each share of XM that was originally owned. As well, XM shareholders would hold an equal amount of shares in the new combined satellite radio company as their Sirius counterparts.
For many analysts, this move was inevitable. Individually, the competition for subscribers caused the two rivals to sign big names like Howard Stern (on Sirius) and Oprah Winfrey (on XM), but it is interesting to note that neither business has yet to reach profitability (consequently, both companies have had seen their share prices drop over 25% in the last year). But perhaps through the power of synergy (and the removal of advertising and other competitive costs), operating satellite radio might prove to be profitable business and a good investment for shareholders after all.
However, the Federal Communication Commission and the Department of Justice might object to this union. Since XM and Sirius are the only two providers of satellite radio, a merger would lead to a monopoly, which is something that the government regulators typically disapprove of.
This is not to say the regulators will definitely reject the merger. Most analysts believe that the merger has a chance of succeeding if XM and Sirius can prove that competition will not be eliminated as they will still be competing with other forms of auditory entertainment (such as conventional radio and MP3s). Whether or not regulators will buy that argument is another story.
Big Loser:
NovaStar Financial Incorporated's (NFI) share price is plunged into darkness this week, as it dropped from $17.33 to $8.55 (or a decline of 50.8%). The catalyst for this drop was the release of its fouth quarter earnings for 2006. More specifically, the subprime mortgage company revealed that earnings came out to a $0.39 per share loss, which represents a substantail drop from the $0.84 per share profit it earned during the same period a year ago. The dominant cause of the loss is the prevalence of borrowers defaulting on their mortgages.
Unlike most other mortgage lenders, NovaStar deals significantly with issuing subprime mortgages. These mortgages are different compared to conventional mortgages as they are seen to be more risky in terms of default risk, as subprime borrowers tend to have less than stellar credit ratings. In order to compensate for the riskier nature of their business, NovaStar and other subprime borrowers charge higher interest rates on their loans.
In most years, making subprime loans was fairly profitable (for the last 3 years, NFI earned around $25-$30 million per quarter in profit). Unfortunately, defaults in subprime mortgages from the last two of years have increased beyond what was originally predicted, cutting into NFI's bottom line. In fact the situation is so out of control that management believes that from now till 2011, the amount of taxable income earned will very limited.
Most likely, subprime loans lenders like NovaStar and Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co. (LEND) will set higher lending standards and charge even higher interest rates on subprime borrowers. If this indeed does happen, now it might be even more important than ever for consumers to have a good credit rating before applying for a mortgage, as it might be simplier to deal with a financial institution to get a conventional mortgage instead of going down the subprime route.

"Dan Talbot's sale of the New Yorker Theatre and the demise of the Anthology Cinema at the Public Theatre are reflective of the changes and uncertainties in the New York independent film scene. And as New York goes, so goes the rest of the country. More productive than ever in terms of interesting work (both here and abroad), the independent film field still struggles in vain with problems of insufficient distribution, sporadic exhibition, and an almost complete absence of international circulation."
Sound familiar? Well, even if the above passage comes from one of Amos Vogel's first "independent film" columns in the May-June 1974 issue of Film Comment, the 32-year-old sentiment still rings true. I stumbled upon the magazine -- which featured stories on Robert Altman, "The Exorcist," Howard Hawks and Jules Feiffer, among others -- while rummaging through a stack of old film magazines in my apartment. And it immediately caught my eye because of its contemporary relevance.
Sure, since 1974, "independent film" has now completely changed, evolved into a full-fledged industry and a key element of the Globowood movie system. But the "independent film" that Vogel wrote about -- the fillms programmed at the Film Forum, the Millennium, the Quad, the Pacific Film Archives and his own programming at Cinema 16, the Annenberg Cinematheque and the fledgling New York Film Festival -- continues to suffer from the same "insufficient distribution" and "sporadic exhibition" that it did in 1974 -- the year that Vogel published his seminal book, "Film as a Subversive Art."
While the corporate-side of indie film grows, the more genuine and subversive side of cinema faces a new era -- pushed into the Internet margins, perhaps. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
