September 11 is a sensitive day of remembrance for many in America — and also happened to the be the day that Boston's Logan International Airport chose to conduct a realistic safety drill, complete with smoke.
Airport authorities warned that a drill with smoke would be performed on their Twitter and Facebook pages, but that wasn't enough to staunch criticism of the date chosen, which quickly erupted acros the Internet. The airport soon had a PR disaster on its hands.

Massport publicly apologized for the timing of the event on their Facebook page Wednesday. "Massport apologizes for conducting the fire training exercise and understands that it may have offended many of those touched by the events of Sept. 11," they wrote, adding "Safety and security is our top priority and constant vigilance and readiness is critical, but the exercise should not have taken place on the anniversary of 9/11."
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick had harsher words for the decision making behind the drill, according to the Boston Globe.
"I didn't know it was going to happen, and it's just dumb," Patrick said. "The timing could not be worse."

Mega Man Anniversary Collection
Review by yoshiownz322
"This could be the best collection ever."
I've been a huge fan of collection games ever since Super Mario All-stars back on the Super NES, and Megaman Anniversary Collection is no different. In fact, it just might be the best collection game ever. You get 10 classic games (two are secret), and there's an assortment of extras (including an extensive interview with Megaman's creator).
Game-play: 10/10
Ah, the classic Megaman Game-play. Pretty straight-forward, you jump, you shoot things, collect power-ups, fight and beat the boss to clear the stage. But, what is different about the Megaman games is that you can actually receive the defeated bosses abilities Then, you use that power on the next boss, hoping he will be weak against it, until you get to the final showdown with Wily. A great feature that separates Megaman from your average plat-former. And, the challenge in these games can keep even the most hardcore gamers busy for awhile.
Sound: 9/10
Great stuff here. Sound has always been a big factor in Megaman games, and you'll see why in this collection. The sounds are very crisp, even for the early games. The explosions are loud and that's always a good thing. And, the Megaman series has always been ahead of its time as far as music goes. The only problem I had with the sound was in Megaman 8. Some of the boss voices seem too high pitches, and I can't hear characters well during the cut scenes. And, some sounds are changed in the older games, but nothing that should ruin the classics that they are.
Controls: 7/10
Ah, if the game has one bad point, it is probably the controls. I don't like using the A button to shoot, and B button to jump is pretty odd as well. Luckily, there is a rapid fire and an auto slide button (1-6 only). So, I guess those make up for the somewhat out of place controls. You might lose a few lives because you forgot the controls, but it's nothing that impossible to adjust to.
Graphics: 9/10
The graphics in this game were some of the best of their time. Although, they are dated now, they are some of the best looking games on the NES, SNES, and Playstation. Personally, I like the fact that they did not change the graphics, cause they only add to the classic feel of this collection. There's still glitches galore in the older games, but hey, all games were glitchy back then.
Replay: 10/10
With 10 games on this collection, there should be a lot to keep you busy. With secrets to collect, power-ups and rush adapters, bolts to buy items, extra games to unlock, it should be awhile before you find everything in this game. Even after you're done, you can challenge yourself to speed runs, no-death games, etc. There's so many things to do in this collection.
Overall: 9/10
This is a great collection that should not be missed by any Megaman fan, plat-form fan, or old school fan in general. These are some of the best games ever, and it is truly a privilege to have one last chance to own them. Thank goodness for Capcom and Megaman!
Rent or Buy.
You should buy if you're like me and don't own any of the old Megaman games, and haven't even played some. This may be the last chance to own and experience the old games in their true form. Even if you do have the old ones, there's still two extra arcade games on this disk, and of course artwork, the interview, and remixed music. So, it is at least worth a rental.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

New Xbox Live Dashboard
I just grabbed the new update to Xbox Live, which adds considerable functionality - booting up the system without a game in logs you in to Xbox Live automatically, and places you in a new UI where you can manage your Friends list, voice chat, and receive invites. This is part of an upgrade that extends a bit beyond the console, as you'll be able to access leaderboards, tournament information, and your Friends information from your computer as well.
I wanted to see how the chat facility worked, but nobody I knew happened to be on. Luckily, I received a chat request from "Ogrods" who, along with TheBattleToad, FinalJustice, Valkyn, Carnage119, Shadow051, GrandThief, and the suave ladykiller Josh2cool124 rule all of Enfield, Connecticut with an Iron Grip. That's something I didn't know before.

DARMSTADT (Jul. 19)
The local German court has sent Franz Linder, an elderly pensioner, to jail for four months, after finding him guilty of insult, libel and defamation of the dead because of anti-Jewish statements. He made the remarks on a postcard about a Jew who lived in the same apartment house with him.
The Darmsta It Jewish Community, which intervened in the case as co-plaintiff, advanced the argument, which was accepted by the court, that an expression of regret about the fact that not all Jews were killed under Nazism, constitutes a violation of the article in the German Penal Code prohibiting defamation of the dead.

Wyeth Lifts Estimate on Suits
By STEPHANIE SAUL
Published: February 1, 2005
Wyeth's shares plunged nearly 8 percent yesterday after the company raised its estimate for the total cost of fen-phen litigation to $21.1 billion and said that protracted legal cases continued to drain earnings in 2004.
This was at least the fourth time that Wyeth had increased its litigation cost estimate since the diet drugs Redux and Pondimin were linked to heart valve problems in the 1990's. The company withdrew the drugs in 1997. When either of them was taken with phentermine, another obesity treatment, the combination was known as fen-phen.
Since Redux and Pondimin were withdrawn from the market, thousands of patients have joined class- action suits against Wyeth.
The $21.1 billion set-aside for legal costs included a charge of $4.5 billion at the end of 2004, which resulted in a fourth-quarter loss for Wyeth of $1.764 billion, or $1.32 a share, on revenue of $4.65 billion.
A year earlier, the company had earnings of $335.3 million, or 25 cents a share, on revenue of $4.33 billion. The 2003 earnings reflected a one-time $639.9 million charge related to manufacturing.
Of the estimated litigation costs, $13.9 billion has already been paid and $7.2 billion remains in reserve, the company said in a conference call with analysts.
Excluding one-time charges, fourth-quarter earnings were $860.78 million, or 64 cents a share, compared with $801.7 million, or 60 cents a share, in the 2003 period. Analysts had expected 67 cents a share.
For the full year, Wyeth reported earnings of $1.234 billion, or 91 cents a share, on revenue of $17.35 billion. That was down nearly 40 percent from 2003, when earnings were $2.051 billion, or $1.54 a share, on revenue of $15.85 billion.
In trading yesterday, shares of Wyeth, of Madison, N.J., fell $3.35, or 7.8 percent, to $39.63.
A Lehman Brothers analyst, C. Anthony Butler, commented: ''The legal liability is not really the concern for the stock. It's really based on some surprising and anemic future guidance. The liability had been taken into account.''
For 2005, Wyeth issued earnings guidance of $2.70 to $2.80 a share; most analysts were looking for $2.80 to $2.90, he said.
The lower guidance was a result of increased research and development costs and the planned start-up this year of a plant in Grange Castle, Ireland. Wyeth's chief executive, Robert A. Essner, said that the development costs would support the company's ''robust late-stage pipeline'' and that the additional capacity in Ireland would allow its self-injectable arthritis treatment, Enbrel, to reach its commercial potential.

Small bumps on back of throat & roof of mouth
Recently i have noticed that i have these tiny raised bumps on the back of my throat right above the uvula. i havent thought much about it but i gave my boyfriend oral sex recently and then where the bumps are i noticed the next day there were numerous red blotches. (the red blotches looks like blood under the skin. Just like when you hit your arm on something and you get some blood spots under your skin & if you were to break the top layer of skin youd bleed). im concerned any help? the bumps have been there for sometime they are all around the back of my throat in the area above and around the uvula.
What you are describing is a classic "CSI" type finding secondary to oral sex/fellatio. Most likely the "red blotches" are the result of trauma and you have submucosal hemorrhaging or post pharyngeal ecchymosis. The little bumps are probably irritated minor salivary glands.
My concern is whether or not you have a propensity for bleeding and/or have a possible clotting defect. Some individuals bruise easier than others and it can be the result of medications or variability of clotting factors or platelet function.
If you are concerned, I would advise you to discuss this with you primary care provider.

How to write an effective e-mail
Dubai: Despite e-mail's growing ubiquity, few have mastered the art of writing an effective one.
Cardinal rule number one: Assume that e-mail is public. If people want to read your notes and share them with the world, they will.
Peter Post, director of the Emily Post Institute and author of five books on etiquette, insists on polite salutations ("Dear Mr. or Ms.") and courteous endings ("Sincerely") and recommends always using an e-mail signature at the end of a business note.

Post said emoticons have no place in business e-mail.
However, Will Schwalbe, co-author with David Shipley of Send: The Essential Guide to E-mail for Office and Home, said emoticons can be useful in other instances.
Hurst said that because irony and humour are so frequently misconstrued in e-mail notes, the emoticon offers a quick, effective way to convey feelings.
"Emoticons are necessary," Hurst said, "because there is no subtlety in e-mail, and jokes do not transmit well."
There are e-mail rules on which our experts agree. Among the most important: Get to the point immediately. Keep your notes as short as possible.
Avoid extended blocks of text by breaking up your writing into short paragraphs or bullets. And keep in mind what we all already know: Everyone is busy and gets too much e-mail.
One more caveat: When you receive a rude or angry note, do not reply right away. Negative emotions can escalate all too quickly in e-mails. "Just delete it," advises Hurst to those who receive a cranky missive.
Or here's a novel idea: Pick up the phone.

Los Angeles – Blake Griffin was suspended four games without pay on Tuesday for punching a team staff member, and the Los Angeles Clippers will dock the star forward's pay for an additional game because he broke his shooting hand.
In all, Griffin will lose $859,442 from his season salary of $18,907,725.
A team spokesman said the suspension will begin when Griffin is healthy, cleared to play and active. He was expected to be out four-to-six weeks while his hand heals from the Jan. 23 altercation in Toronto.
The spokesman said the fine was issued by the Clippers, with the NBA assisting in the investigation of the incident as well as in the disciplinary process. No other punishment from the league is expected.
The Clippers end a four-game road trip Wednesday night in Boston before the All-Star break this weekend. They resume play with a four-game homestand starting Feb. 18 against San Antonio.
The Clippers will donate Griffin's salary from the five games to charities that help disadvantaged youth in Los Angeles. The team said Griffin asked to donate his time to the organizations.
"We have made it clear that this conduct has no place in the Clippers organization," team owner Steve Ballmer and coach Doc Rivers said in a joint statement. "Blake is remorseful and has apologized for his actions. He is a valued member of our Clippers family and we support him as he rejoins the team."
Heat retire Shaq's No. 32
Miami — Shaquille O'Neal helped the Miami Heat put up their first championship banner, and soon another banner will sway over the team's home floor in his honor.
The Heat announced Tuesday that they will retire O'Neal's No. 32 at the beginning of next season on a still-to-be-determined date. He becomes the third player to get such a designation from the Heat, joining Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway.
Miami is the second team to retire an O'Neal jersey. The Los Angeles Lakers retired the No. 34 he donned for that franchise.

My running journey begins...
Today begins my first official blog for The Vancouver Sun. Over the next 13 weeks I will be documenting my journey as part of the InTraining Learn to Run program
I guess I could say that I have a love-hate relationship with running. As a child growing up with asthma running started out as a horrible endeavor…running meant not being able to breathe. As you can imagine this definitely took the fun out of the experience. As I grew older and started to grow out of my asthma, physical activity started to become an important part of my life. Throughout my 20s and now halfway through my 30s I have immersed myself in many sports and activities that would constantly test my physical limits. It's easy to get addicted to the high that physical activity brings! If I think back to my experiences with running I have both positive and negative memories. There have been a countless number of times running has gotten me through many stressful times in my life….after a bad day being able to put on some running shoes and taking off for a long run is the best therapy there is! I can also think back to memories of pain crossing the finish line of a 10km race or half marathon declaring at that moment that I was never going to run again.
I'm not usually one to make New Year's resolutions but for 2013 I made a promise to myself that I am going to be a better person. I know that sounds cheesy but at the end of the day I want to look back at the end of the year and be proud of what I've accomplished. For many years I have signed up for the Sun Run and had good intentions to train but I always seem to drop the ball. I decide that I can run the race relying on my physical fitness. Every year during and after the race I pay the price.
Tomorrow I start my first clinic session. I am looking forward to meeting a great group of like minded people who will motivate me and hold me accountable. I know as part of the experience I will make some new friends, have some fun and enjoy the journey to the 2013 Sun Run. I look forward to crossing the finish line on April 21st with the biggest smile on my face knowing the road it took to get there was well worth the ride!

We were fortunate to have had Pam organizing a charter for us on the Airship. I'm so sad to see this news. She truly was a unique lady, full of enthusiasm for her job, her co-workers and the airship. I had wondered about all the folks at Airship Ventures when I heard that sadly they had to shut down. They seemed such a close team, genuinely thrilled to be doing something so unusual. This must be awful for them after losing their jobs and their airship.

Pam was one of the most vivacious and fun individuals I've met in a long time. She was unpretentious, selfless, and always considered others before herself. I was blessed with the opportunity to drive her to a couple of doctor appointments. They were long days for Pam, but she made them days of fun for me. She kept her spirit up until she fell asleep; that sista could fall asleep during a car ride in a minute; I loved that about her. She was all that and a bag of chips! I will truly miss her.

Adolescence is plagued with awkward, sometimes terrifying, rites of passage. For author Lizzie Simon, the crucial turning point of her youth occurred during her final year of high school, which she spent studying and living with family friends in Paris. At a time when she was high on life thrilled about her acceptance to an Ivy League college, happy with her new crowd of adventurous friends she was suddenly sucked into the downward spiral of a mental breakdown.
Detour: My Bipolar Road Trip in 4-D, Simon's candid memoir of bipolar disorder, chronicles her early struggles with manic depression and her eventual decision to leave a blossoming career as a theatrical producer in New York City for a cross-country road trip to find others like herself: young and successful survivors of a misrepresented mental illness.
"I definitely wanted to write the book that I would've needed when I was diagnosed at the age of 17," she says by cell phone from the New Jersey Turnpike, a few weeks into her book tour. At that time when she would've needed some honest advice, she says, there were no books about the disorder from "a voice of youth."
Lizzie Simon
Changing Hands Bookstore, 6428 South McClintock in Tempe.
Signs and reads from her new book at 7 p.m. Friday, July 19. For more information, call 480-730-0205.
Now 26 years old, Simon started her project three years ago. Compelled to revamp the negative images of bipolar people, she traveled across the U.S. to collect testimonies of "success cases" people who are taking medication, living happy lives and thriving in spite of the illness.
But ever the faithful journal-keeper, Simon's account is more about her own narrative than any of her interviewees. "It occurs to me that my little experiment, my voyage," she writes, "is as personal as it gets. I've been thinking about how much it's going to help other bipolar people, but let's get real. Secretly, this trip comes right out of an obsession I've carried since I was tiny, from an ultrapersonal yearning to find my herd."

And it's the unpredictability of Simon's "detour" and her open-mindedness in the creative process that make the book hard to put down. "It's a much more universal book than I ever thought I would write or could write," she admits.
In her first interview in the book, a "rehearsal" before launching her big journey, Simon unexpectedly falls in love with her out-of-control but intriguing subject. Disillusionment then kicks in, when the early part of her trip doesn't lead her to young, ambitious people who fit the description she's seeking. And further into the project, wondering if she's a failure, Simon barely avoids a breakdown when she finally goes easy on herself, indulging in a few days of tanning, shopping and reading fashion magazines.
In the process of writing a book for people with bipolar disorder, Simon's insider voice gives her readers a way to understand the disorder by relating to feelings of anxiety and alienation. And in the process of searching for young role models, Simon has become one herself.

Deborah R. Labovitz, 63, longtime professor and chair of the department of occupational therapy at New York University, died June 14 at her home in Elkins Park.
Labovitz earned her bachelor's degree in occupational therapy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1963, and later joined the faculty as an instructor and assistant professor of occupational therapy at the School of Allied Medical Professions. She earned a doctorate in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1979.
During her tenure at New York University, a post she held for more than 20 years, Labovitz was a driving force in upgrading the university's program in occupational therapy, and in expanding connections to the international community of occupational therapists.
She taught courses and seminars on occupational therapy in Sweden, Iceland and England. She was also instrumental in establishing a program for Israeli occupational therapists seeking graduate degrees.
In addition, Labovitz organized and hosted the Israeli occupational therapists at NYU for six weeks to satisfy the university's residency requirement.
While at NYU, she served as a member of the faculty Senate. She was active in the American Occupational Therapy Association, including serving as chair of the organization's Education Steering Committee. In recognition of her contributions to the profession, she was named a fellow of the association.
She was also the author of numerous chapters in occupation- al therapy textbooks and other scholarly articles.
In 2001, Labovitz developed and edited Ordinary Miracles: True Stories About Overcoming Obstacles & Surviving Catastrophes, a collection of essays about transformative work by occupational therapists with accident victims, patients recovering from diseases and coping with disabilities, and with the elderly. She also co-edited a follow-on volume, Ordinary Miracles in Nursing, which was published in 2005.
Labovitz was an active member of the Germantown Jewish Centre for more than 30 years, and had served as a synagogue officer and in various other capacities. She was also active in local and national political causes, including having served as a Democratic delegate for George McGovern at the 1972 Democratic National Convention in Miami.
Labovitz is survived by her husband of 44 years, Judah Labovitz; daughter Gail Seligman; sons Bruce Labovitz and Daniel Labovitz; brother Howard Rubin; and seven grandchildren.

Circus twist for Ancient Mariner
Square Peg Contemporary Circus kicks off a tour of its show Rime at the StAnza Poetry Festival in St Andrews on March 5. The date is the only one in Scotland for a physical theatre adaptation of Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner that won a Little Devil on the first week of the Herald Angels in Edinburgh last year, when it was seen at Summerhall. Almost as soon as the Fringe run began, Square Peg had to rework the piece after a knee/face collision left the company depleted.

Romanian Parliament Approves Law to Convert Swiss-Franc Loans
External Content
The following content is sourced from external partners. We cannot guarantee that it is suitable for the visually or hearing impaired.
(Bloomberg) -- Romanian lawmakers approved a bill allowing the conversion of Swiss-franc loans into local currency at below-market rates, a move that could cost banks almost $600 million and raises concerns about populism before elections in December.
Parliament voted Tuesday unanimously in favor of the law, which enables borrowers to switch loans into lei using the exchange rates under which they were issued, Speaker Florin Iordache said Tuesday in Bucharest. The legislation still requires the signature of President Klaus Iohannis before entering into force.
"This law was designed to benefit all Swiss-franc borrowers, to avoid any kind of discrimination," Iordache said after lawmakers eliminated previously proposed conversion limits, such as a maximum loan value of 250,000 Swiss francs ($253,000).
The European Union's second-poorest country is joining nearby Poland and Hungary in helping foreign-currency borrowers who were wrong-footed by the surge in the franc and must now make bigger monthly repayments. After months of wrangling, lawmakers softened an initial proposal so that it only applies to loans denominated in the Swiss currency. Local lenders oppose the bill, whose debate in parliament sent the leu to a three-month low. Losses could reach 2.4 billion lei ($586 million), according to the central bank.
Vote 'Tool'
Only about 5 percent of Romanian household debt is denominated in Swiss francs, less than the total in other eastern European nations. Even so, the central bank has warned that six lenders risk difficulties with their solvency ratios if the bill takes force.
The passage of the legislation comes in the buildup to Romania's Dec. 11 parliamentary ballot, which will end the rule of the current technocratic government. Lawmakers have yet to debate bills to expand tax cuts, raise state wages and boost pensions after two earlier rounds of fiscal easing.
"Swiss-franc lending was never a significant issue in Romania," said Nicolaie Alexandru-Chidesciuc, a London-based economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. "Yet, approaching parliamentary elections have transformed it into a tool to get votes, and worryingly for the banks the proposal has support from across the Romanian political spectrum."
After a clash between the two major political parties last week over planned eligibility criteria delayed a final vote, lawmakers scrapped the loan ceiling and a proposal that conversion would only be open to borrowers whose debt-to-income ratios exceed 50 percent.

Mack Brown: You have to be careful not to play this game on Tuesday
"It's me being healthy. I'm so blessed to be able to play this game, and I've fought through a lot of injuries. It's just perseverance, hard work and determination. Nothing can really keep me off that field."
OU running back Brennan Clay, who ranks second in Big 12 rushing, averaging 90 yards per game.
"Coach [Darrell] Royal always said that you have to be careful not to play this game on Tuesday. And in some years, I think we have. I have not felt that this week. I think they know that it's a long week and it's a very important game and they know they don't need to be ready Tuesday."

Will this be on the final
: Oregonlive.com (a day-job site) has a professor calling the election for Bush.
consensus is exit polls for "clear Kerry" were wrong; and as Kos reports, despite anecdotal evidence, youth didn't vote in numbers expected by registration increases.
FL looks like it goes to Bush.
What kerry needs is all the so-called "blue states," plus OH.
That's going to take a while.
FL has definitely gone to Bush. And OH's definitely moving that way.
It's over.
I promise to… Support the President, even if I didn't vote for him…..

If you can get past the hair listen as he talks about his hopes for the future.

Nice "do" Blake. I'm sure Miranda has a lot of fun with this.
