Just because it hasn't happened in your career doesn't mean it's impossible. And as for the monitoring, if god forbid I end up transferring, I WILL take the monitor off this time. But I didn't the first time, even though I didn't want it. So it's not as simple as that. Some women are afraid of standing up for what is right. it took me an unnecessary csection to figure out that is not in my best interest to be the "polite little patient".

Cried. Seriously! I read and reread the hospital records and the midwives' records and just got mad and cried and finally made my peace with it. It was close to 2 yrs after the fact, and just one of a few things that were not quite right in the records, so I just didn't feel like starting up a back-and-forth with the mws group. My dh's favorite was in the office records one of the mws had stated that he seemed "hostile" at the 36 wk appt. Um, no, he asked you to please slow down and repeat a few things that you rushed through explaining. (She was POd because I couldn't leave work early to come to that appt 2 hrs early anyway, so she was rushing through explaining what happens when at the hospy.) And aren't medical records supposed to only record objective facts, not subjective opinions?
When I was in nursing school I did an L&D rotation. There was one birth I attended that will haunt me forever. The mom had a natural drug free birth. She was begging the OB not to give her an episiotomy. I watched him take a 10 ml syringe with a huge gauge needle and jam it into her perineum very forcefully. It was a shot of lidocaine. She began screaming. Then he cut her anyway.
Then when she was pushing she wanted up on all fours. The OB and the nurses in the room began yelling at her and they forcefully pushed her down onto the bed and then practically laid on top of her to keep her on her back.
It was horrible.

thankfully my hospital birth went fabulously, I wasn't forced to do anything and all my preferences were met without any problem in the least. However, I do know that it is pretty standard to give pitocin in the iv after delivery without consent- I just never had an iv in the first place so that makes it a little harder to give. I can most definitely so how easy medical professionals could bully, coerce and force a laboring mom, it is such a vulnerable time.

In honor of all the kiddos who are heading back to school this week, and all the parents who just collectively breathed a sigh of relief, we present cheese crisps. An easy, delicious cracker for lunch boxes and after school snacking. These crackers use coconut flour and brown rice flour for a light, crisp cracker that is deceptively gluten free. Take this recipe for a spin, then try variations with different cheeses like Pepper Jack or Smoked Gouda. Careful, though, these are addictive and it's likely your first batch won't even make it to Monday's sack lunch.
Cheese Crisps
- 1/2 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/2 cup Brown Rice Flour
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 3 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 2 Tbsp Brown Flaxseeds
Step 1
Heat oven to 275°F .
Step 2
Place melted and cooled butter, egg and water in a food processor. Add flours, salt and cheese, and blend until incorporated.
Step 3
Place mixture into a bowl. Add flaxseeds and mix by hand until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Turn out onto a board dusted with brown rice flour. Roll to about 1/16-inch thick and cut into bite size pieces.
Step 5
Distribute pieces onto a parchment covered dark cookie sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking. Crackers will be golden and hard when done.

Sales of the PlayStation 3 (PS3) in Japan have finally begun to rise, four weeks after the console was launched, according to data from Media Create.
Sales for the week of December 4 to December 10 were a solid 60 percent higher than the week before and that could mean console-maker Sony is making good on its promise to increase production of the PlayStation 3. Sales fell for the first three full weeks after launch due to Sony's inability to keep up with demand.
Over 50,000 consoles were sold in the week from December 4 to December 10, Media Create said. That makes it the second-best week for the PlayStation 3 since its launch week in early November when 81,639 consoles were sold, according to the market data provider.
The console remains difficult to find in Japanese stores and still fetches a slight premium on internet auction sites despite a lot of the launch-buzz dying down. Yesterday, the more expensive of the two PlayStation 3 models was attracting bids of around ¥66,000 (£283) on Yahoo Auctions. It retails for around ¥59,800 (£256).
Sony has had to cut-back production plans for the PlayStation 3 because of problems getting a sufficient supply of blue lasers for the console. The lasers are important components for the Blu-ray Disc drive that is a major feature of the console. It initially planned to have 2 million consoles ready for a roughly simultaneous launch in Japan, the US and Europe and then another 2 million out by the end of 2006. A further 2 million were to be made available by the end of March 2007.
This was scaled back to just 2 million in total by the end of 2006 and the European launch was pushed back to the first quarter of 2007. However Sony hasn't changed its overall target of 6 million consoles available by the end of March.

W. Cameron Smith, who is engaged in the practice of law at Horton, Kansas, was born in Canada and is a son of the Rev. Andrew A. Smith, now deceased, who for many years was a prominent minister of a leading denomination. Of Scottish parentage, he was a relative of Sir Adam Smith, who was knighted by Queen Victoria on account of efficient services which he rendered to his country. Rev. A. A. Smith married Miss Martha Blackstock, who is now living in Ontario. Mr. Smith, of this review, was one of their four surviving children, namely: Cameron S.; Robert Wallace Bruce, who is a physician and is a medical officer at Orchard House, a large insane asylum at Hamilton, Ontario; Flintoft, of Horton; and a sister.
After obtaining his preliminary education in the public schools and Collegiate Institute, Mr. Smith, of this review, afterward passed from the University of Queens College of Kingston, Canada, to the Law Society of Upper Canada and graduated at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Canada, some time before coming to this country. Since 1895 he has made his home in Horton and has been very successful in his chosen profession. He has been for a time associated with his brother, Flintoft, and has gained considerable prominence as a lawyer who is well versed in his profession, his knowledge of the science of jurisprudence being comprehensive and accurate. He has been connected with some important litigation heard in the courts of the district, and his devotion to his clients' interests is proverbial. Politically he is a supporter of the Republican party and socially is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. Many admirable qualities endear him to his fellow men, for he is affable, courteous and considerate. He has quite a wide acquaintance in Horton and is rapidly working his way upward to a foremost place among the practitioners of the county.

By ALAN ZIBEL, AP Real Estate Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Officials in all 50 states and the District of Columbia -- including Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson -- have launched a joint investigation into allegations that mortgage companies mishandled documents and broke laws in foreclosing on hundreds of thousands of homeowners.
The states' attorneys general and bank regulators will examine whether mortgage company employees made false statements or prepared documents improperly.
Alabama initially did not sign on to the investigation. It reversed course after the joint statement was released.
Attorneys general have taken the lead in responding to a nationwide scandal that's called into question the accuracy and legitimacy of documents that lenders relied on to evict people from the homes.
"To get virtually every attorney general in this country working in tandem to investigate this problem shows how serious it really is," said Minnesota's Lori Swanson.
Employees of four large lenders have acknowledged in depositions that they signed off on foreclosure documents without reading them.
The allegations raise the possibility that foreclosure proceedings nationwide could be subject to legal challenge. Some foreclosures could be overturned. More than 2.5 million homes have been lost to foreclosure since the recession started in December 2007, according to RealtyTrac Inc.
The state officials said they intend to use their investigation to fix the problems that surfaced in the mortgage industry.
"This is not simply about a glitch in paperwork," said Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who is leading the probe. "It's also about some companies violating the law and many people losing their homes."
Ally Financial Inc.'s GMAC Mortgage Unit, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase & Co. already have halted some questionable foreclosures. Other banks, including Citigroup Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. have not stopped processing foreclosures, saying they did nothing wrong.
In a joint statement, the officials said they would review evidence that legal documents were signed by mortgage company employees who "did not have personal knowledge of the facts asserted in the documents." They also said that many of those documents appear to have been signed without a notary public witnessing that signature - a violation of most state laws.
"What we have seen are not mere technicalities," said Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray. "This is about the private property rights of homeowners facing foreclosure and the integrity of our court system, which cannot enter judgments based on fraudulent evidence."

Lisa Lampanelli
To the soccer moms who come to her shows expecting bits about dating and PMS, comedian Lisa Lampanelli says in a loud, northeast accent: Shut up ya dirty twat, lick it. Lampanelli might dress like a housewife, but her crude, often offensive sets have nothing wholesome about them. Often compared to Don Rickles, she likes to chide her audience about everything from their looks (You look like a retarded Harry Potter), to their sexuality (Youve been going out two weeks? Thats four years in gay), to their ethnicity (insert every racial stereotype imaginable). The heavy-set, middle-aged comedian appears regularly on Jay Leno and the Howard Stern Show, and her comedy album Dirty Girl won a Grammy nomination.
If youre initially put off by her insensitivity, dont worry, shes got a soft side: As a white bitch, Ive always felt we owe you black men the oral sex to say Im sorry for slavery. 8 p.m. Verizon Wireless Theater, 520 Texas.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld, leader of the terrorist organisation SPECTRE, has hijacked an American plane loaded with atomic weapons. Unless his demands are met he will destroy one of the world's major cities. With only one week to locate the missing bombs, Bond goes to the Bahamas where he encounters Blofeld's right-hand man, Emilio Largo and his mistress Domino. With time running out, Bond learns that sharks are not the only killers in the Caribbean Sea.
Includes an exclusive bonus interview with Jason Isaacs.
Ian Fleming was born in London in 1908. He was educated at Eton and worked as a journalist in Moscow and a banker and stockbroker in London before becoming personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. He wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952 at Goldeneye, his home in Jamaica. Since then James Bond has gone on to become a global phenomenon.
Jason Isaacs is a BAFTA, Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor. His film work includes playing Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, Colonel Tavington in The Patriot, Captain Hook and Mr Darling in Peter Pan, as well as starring in the war movies Black Hawk Down and Green Zone. On TV his credits include Jackson Brodie in Case Histories, Sir Mark Brydon in The State Within, Michael Caffee in Brotherhood and Michael Britten in Awake. He is currently filming the action-adventure event series "DIG" for USA Network from the minds behind "Heroes" and "Homeland," to premiere in late 2014.

"A highly polished performance, with an ingenious plot well documented and plenty of excitement" (The Times)
"A mystery story, a thriller, a chiller and a pleasure to read." (New York Times)
"Fantastic… how persuasively Mr. Fleming writes about it all" (Oxford Times)
"The mixture—of good living, sex and violent action—is as before, but this highly polished performance, with an ingenious plot, well documented, and plenty of excitement" (The Times)

"Best Bond audiobook - Most up to date story and great performance"
This book is spectacular. The best Fleming book in the series. It feels very up to date in many aspects and the characters are round and have depth in them.
Jason Isaacs performance is superb and enjoyable.
Avid action novel and history listener!
Jason's ability to capture the accents and personalities for all of teh characters added so much to the enjoyment of this book.
"Great story, well read..."
I read all the original book as a teenager, what a treat to hear it again in my 40's on my daily commute. Jason Isaacs does a wonderful job.
"Hello to Jason Isaacs!"
I could listen to this narrator for a long time, Great story and perfect narration. Probably my favourite narration so far, I'm listening to these Audio Go releases in order of the original releases.
"Dark Bond"
Having never read the books and only watched the movies, I was surprised at how dark and cynical this novel was. It is well narrated and worth listening to, but it is also a novel of its time too.
"Great performance by jason Isaacs."
Great performance by jason Isaacs. Interesting interviews at end but quite short. Much better story and characterisations than the films
"Solid but not the best Bond"
I'd put the audio and print versions about level. I think it is read slightly slow for my taste but I think both the character voices and the tension Isaacs puts into certain scenes very good.
I think Felix was my favourite character. I think he's strong and comical at times but mainly he is loyal to Bond. Even on crazy hunches and ideas, Felix always trusts in and goes along with Bond and Bond can always rely on Felix. They also have a great relationship and genuinely enjoy working together.
Isaacs' Blofeld was probably my favourite. Every attribute Blofeld possesses came across in the voice. His confidence, his intellect and his cruelty.
Felix made me laugh many times. His turn of phrase rather than particular jokes. As always with Fleming, many sections make me laugh almost out of disgust. Horrendous racism and sexism is always expected and does not sit well when read more than 50 years on. But it must be ignored as just a terrible sign of the times.
Overall, I thought this was a solid entry in the Bond series and is certainly middle of the pack. The only real problem for me was a sense of anticlimax in the last couple of chapters. The partnership of Bond and Felix is easily the strong point through a great chasing-down of the unknown baddies.
Enjoyed the book but unfortunately, like many of Fleming's novels, there is a large element of gob smacking coincidence
"Another bond"
Bond developing towards the film persona first half of book I feel the poorest of all Flemings but the end is worth it! Bond shows too many weaknesses and too many vices his alcohol and tobacco consumption would kill him quicker that spectre ! Still it's s over 50 years old and outlooks have changed
"Great book"
This is a great book. Superbly read. The
Lot is varied and twisted. The ending for those who have seen the film a genuine surprise. Very enjoyable.
I would hear it again and again!
allows you to picture the action for yourselves.
excellent quatity
"an enjoyable, albeit dated,romp"
I don't recall the film so there are no comparisons here. Bond is surprisingly rich as a character. For those with particular sensibilities they will find Fleming's language and attitudes dated. Remembering the time it was written it gives a flavour for the contemporary attitudes and language. Like others I find the book surprisingly satisfying in terms of both the hero, his accomplices and the villains. The last of these being far more plausible than the films suggest.
This is the first time I have heard Jason Isaacs read and would listen to him again.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Mumbai, India, 2011/02/08 - The Indian water and wastewater services market is expected to witness a higher growth with the majority of end-user industries seeking cost-effective solutions while expanding the existing systems and installing new waterworks.
The facilities are put in place to cater to operational requirements and the mounting pressure from government legislation to reduce environmental pollution.
Analysis from Frost & Sullivan (environmental.frost.com), Assessment of Indian Water and Wastewater Services Market, finds that the market earned revenues of INR 3,700 million in 2009 and estimates this to grow at a healthy rate of almost 18 percent per annum until 2014.
Water has become a crucial commodity, especially for industrial and commercial use. Quality requirements, coupled with stringent wastewater discharge regulations, pose a significant challenge to end-user industries.
"The growth in the number of wastewater recycle and reuse facilities, demineralization plants, and RO-based water treatment plants which require constant scheduled checks and services to operate optimally have pushed the market for plant management services significantly, " states Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Nitin Saran.
The water and wastewater services market is split across many types of services contracts including annual maintenance contract (AMC) and operation and maintenance (O&M) contract. The market for other contracts is small, as the liability of service providers in these types of contracts is limited.
However, there is competition within the market between the major and smaller participants. Small unorganized companies in the market continue to make their presence felt by using pricing as a predominant weapon, providing AMCs for as little as INR 5,000 (approximately $108). Unorganized service providers also derive the benefits of being local participants by saving on taxes. Thus, unorganized small service providers account for a large portion of the AMC market.
"The small players are able to provide services at such low rates because they provide low-grade spares and chemicals, which are much cheaper when compared to the branded ones, " observes Saran. "Regional advantage coupled with cheap labor and tax eviction methods further help to provide services at low costs."
To compete with unorganized companies, the major market participants need to form strategic alliances with vendors of spares, chemicals, and equipment. Furthermore, they can leverage the existing relationships with clients that have procured products or spares, as clients prefer a single point of contact for all concerns.
Only a few companies offer the entire range of services contract categories. This provides a bright opportunity for established companies to provide bundled services contracts such as O&M and audit and inspection (A&I) services.
Another key opportunity lies in the training services market, which is being offered by a handful of companies. The training services market has the potential to develop as a key area within the services market. With end-user industries looking for better and cost-effective methods to take care of the water and wastewater treatment plants, the water and wastewater services market has a scope for growth.

The Conservative Monster
The Democrats boo'ed God at the 2012 convention, because the majority of them are Communists that want worship of the State instead of a Religion. They will call you delusional and crazy if they are confronted with this blast of truth, but those methods of personal attack are typical of communists. Personal attacks are used to discredit anyone that exposes their hateful and intolerant agenda.
The war against Christmas and Easter is constantly denied by Leftists, but the demand to erase these words from being spoken publicly certainly can't be denied. I try to warn people that are new to this war against Communism that our opposition is excellent at lying, propaganda and deception. They are Satan's soldiers..no doubt.
Many people question me "How can some Communists worship Satan if most of them claim to be Atheists"? Answer: It is easier to be publicly accepted as an Atheist rather than a Satanist. The persecution towards religions (except Islam) is clearly being motivated by Satan, because it is that intense and that evil.
Saul Alinsky dedicated his book "Rules for Radicals" to Lucifer. Why would a Communist/Atheist dedicate his book to Lucifer? Answer: He was possibly a Satanist that only called himself an Atheist in public so he wouldn't be discredited.
"Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism". Vladimir Lenin
Of course Obama claims to be a Christian, but look who his pastor was. Rev. Wright is the most hateful pastor and for any President to be associated with that man is a disgrace. It doesn't say much for the Americans that voted for Obama in 2008.
TODAY, Remember that Jesus was persecuted and that persecution still continues….

NEW TAMPA — The final seconds of East Lake's quarter-century wait for a playoff victory may have been the most excruciating.
The biggest win in Eagles history wasn't secured until Wharton forward Patrik Hauri's last-gasp putback attempt rolled on the front of the rim before sliding off, securing a stunning 64-63 East Lake triumph Thursday in the Class 8A region quarterfinals.
"That thing seemed like it was on the rim forever," Eagles coach Joe Bloznalis said.
On this mesmerizing night, the end seemed apropos for the Wildcats (24-4), who struggled miserably from the floor in the first half before rallying furiously.
The Eagles (20-6), meantime, couldn't miss.
Senior guard Jeremy Mogged led the way with 25 points, accounting for six of his team's nine 3-pointers. But Bloznalis said it was his team's inside presence, rife with second- and third-chance baskets, that was equally pivotal.
Without freshman George Campbell (seven points), senior Blake Grimm (11) or even burly center Dillon Deboer (four), Mogged may have been less effective.
"We've been living and dying by the 3s," Bloznalis said. "We finally got some shots inside. Even if we didn't make them, we're okay. … It opened up some inside-outside for us."
East Lake led by eight at halftime and took its biggest lead when Kyle Mogged opened the second half with a trey. Wharton, however, went on an 18-6 run, with point guard C.J. McGill (23 points) starting and finishing the run with 3-pointers.
That gave Wharton, playing without suspended 6-foot-6 sophomore Chase Litton, a 38-37 lead. From there, the lead changed hands five times. During that final stretch, Jeremy Mogged broke three ties with treys.
"I was just feeling my shot tonight," he said.
McGill's trey with 40 seconds to play tied the score at 63. East Lake sank the first of two free throws with 29.6 seconds to play, but missed the front end of a one-and-one with 13 ticks to go, setting up a final 'Cats chance.
Jaken Grier got a nice look on the right wing but missed. Hauri's missed putback try followed.
"We got a decent look, got a great tip attempt," 'Cats coach Tommy Tonelli said. "But in hindsight I wish I would've called timeout and got us a little more organized and got people in the right spots."

Texas has lost two in a row this season and two in a row overall to Baylor. A loss to Baylor this week would be the Longhorns' longest-ever losing streak to the Bears. But it would not be the longest losing streak of the Mack Brown era at Texas. In 2010, Texas lost four straight and finished 5-7. Texas started that season 4-2.
As for the losing streak to Baylor, the turnaround has been quite dramatic. Texas was 12-0 under Brown against Baylor until 2010. And outscoring the Bears by an a average of 37 points per game. In the last two games, Baylor has outscored Texas by an average of 16 points per game and been plus five in the turnover battle.
One positive for Texas is that Baylor is not ranked. Texas has not beaten a ranked team in the last nine games. Baylor was ranked in 2010 and 2011.

Virtual Communities as Commons: Case Study Of "Connect"
In a world increasingly networked with the help of information technology, where face-to-face communities are more and more supported by computer-mediated communication, and some communities exist solely in virtual space, the perennial social dilemma of cooperation has resurged, intriguing social researchers' attention with new elements brought about by technological advances, such as software applications enabling simultaneous communication of community members through public and private channels, easy access to a variety of documents, anonymous messaging, forums for potentially unlimited number of members who may join or observe, and a number of other IT-enabled community-building tools. In this paper the authors discuss the cooperation problem in virtual communities through the case-study of "Connect", an online community of Croatian scientists. Starting point of the analysis is the observation that cooperation in virtual communities may be encouraged by implementing technological solutions that provide users with incentives to cooperate. With this in mind, the authors inspect the compliance of "Connect" to a set of design principles of robust common-pool resource institutions elaborated by Elinor Ostrom. The study demonstrates that the "Connect" satisfies the majority of Ostrom's principles, with some room for improvement, and fails to satisfy two of them, mainly due to non-existence of technical prerequisites and due to relatively small size of the community. The analysis lays ground for further work aimed at obtaining more prescriptive guidelines that would point to possible improvements in management of common pool resources in virtual communities.

That's terrible. I feel bad for Steve, he is one of the few non-Pacer players I openly root for to do well. I've always liked him.

Man, first Shaq steals his TV show, now this.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
In the new CBA there should be some provision for what happens to a teammate if he cheats with a fellow teammate's wife.
That's ****ing terrible. My interest in Jason Richardson was low to begin with in free agency, but this just made me actively despise the guy. Nash, by all accounts, is one of the classiest guys in the league. So ****ty.
rumors at best...sources far from credible, and the second link adds some pretty despicable commentary too
edit: she's apparently denying that the child isn't Steve's. I'd buy that she did have an affair with Jason Richardson, but that doesn't necessarily mean the baby isn't his.

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Skank ho.
That second article claimed that she gave birth to a black baby though, when the picture in the first clearly shows otherwise.
...on the flipside, it appears that Nash has been cheating on his wife as well...with Brittany Richardson?
(no they aren't related, although that would be hilarious)

I don't know but that baby looks white to me
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
I would not be surprised if she was cheating at all but if that baby is illegitimate, she must have been playing the field. Jason Richardson is not just a black guy. The dude is very dark and she isn't exactly Ms. Ivoryskin. So, I suspect that's neither Steve nor Jason's offspring. Of course, we probably should just trust the writers at sheknows.com...
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia

That second article is also racist as hell. If my wife was cheating on me and I found out I would be equally pissed if it were Shaquille O'Neal, Bill Gates, or a Taino Indian.

If the article is true, I would guess that she did cheat on Steve since he wanted a divorce one day after the baby was born.
Steve Nash is a good guy, and I doubt he would do that for no reason.
There is also no way the baby is Richardson's because being an NBA player is very time consuming, and with the little time they have away from work, I think it would be almost impossible to sneak around.
I also don't believe that J-Rich would do that, and they are pointing fingers toward him since he was traded suddenly.
Who knows, maybe the child is Hedo Turkoglu's.
Wouldn't this have circulated a bit more by now if this was legit?
Was this supposed to be in green? Let's just say I have some sources and am very sure that some former Pacers who were bachelors got plenty..ahem...action while playing in Indy.
It could happen, but I just think it would be difficult with a teammates wife.
I'm shocked, what some guys will go through to get traded.
Looks like the Maury show is gonna have some new contestants.

This is the NBA. Most of the players you watch are probably cheating on their wives...
Actually this story has been around for the past couple of months but I refrained from posting about it because like the time I broke the Delonte/LeBorn's mom hookup or whatever it was deleted.
And yes the kids does look white but not all black kids look black when they're born genetics is a weird thing.
That and I've heard so many Who's the Daddy of Nash's baby ranging from Jason Richardson to Goran Dragic.
I'm surprised Alvin Gentry isn't in the running at this point.
That being said I don't think its Steve's he divorced her the day after the kid was born. That's just telling right there.

Republicans Accuse LightSquared (and FCC) of Milking Political Connections
Republican lawmakers grilled a representative from the Federal Communications Commission last Thursday, during a sub-committee before the House Armed Services, and demanded to know why the federal agency was still considering approving LightSquared despite the protestations of NASA, the Department of Justice, the Department of Trade, and virtually the entire GPS industry who all argue that LightSquared's proposal will cripple GPS systems and threaten national security.
"We cannot afford to have federal telecommunications policy, especially where it affects national security, to be made in the same way that the White House parceled out a half billion dollars in loan guarantees to the failed Solyndra Corporation," said Rep. Michael Turner (R-Oh), who oversaw the hearing.
"The FCC has already in part proceeded with LightSquared in a manner that would affect national security, and we understand it could still go forward...despite effects on national security," he added.
"In my 14 years in politics, I have never seen a federal agency advocate so strongly for a private company to go through, especially when the Department of Defense is saying this [plan] interferes with national security," accused Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.).
Julius Knapp, the FCC's top engineer, assured the sub-committee, "I want to make absolutely clear that the Commission will not authorize LightSquared if its operation causes armful interference to GPS. LightSquared recognizes that the upper part of its proposed band interfered with GPS and revised to work only in the lower band."
Knapp also questioned why the GPS industry didn't raise a GPS interference issue back in 2003, when the FCC first granted LightSquared and other companies approval to develop a hybrid satellite-terrestrial network.
LightSquared's response
LightSquared CEO Sanjiv Ahuja (pictured), who was not invited to attend the hearing, responded to the Republicans' suggestions in a strongly-worded statement on Friday.
"We understand that some in the telecom sector fear the challenges for their business model that LightSquared presents. We understand the opposition of some in the GPS industry; many of their devices 'squat' on someone else's spectrum and while technological fixes are readily available, some companies are loath to make the necessary engineering changes and would instead prefer to get access to someone else's spectrum for free."
Ahuja also said it was "ludicrous" for special interest groups to suggest LightSquared had political connections.
"The founder of LightSquared has given to candidates in both political parties in the last eight years, with two thirds of his contributions going to Republicans because of the founder's free market philosophy. I gave $30,400 in contributions to both parties in late 2010," he said.
Last week, a day after the FCC demanded more testing, the Daily Beast published a damning report claiming General William Shelton, head of the Air Force space command, was pressured to change his testimony to support LightSquared, because the owner of its hedge fund backer Philip Falcone was a major Democratic Party donor.
Who, or what, is LightSquared?
LightSquared, a Virginia based satellite company acquired last year by a hedge fund, has invested at least $4 billion to use its satellite airwaves to operate a much more lucrative, wholesale cell phone network. Instead of selling directly to consumers, LightSquared's customers would be small retail carriers without Verizon and AT&T's resources, enabling them to build an LTE network.
Although LightSquared owns its own spectrum, it needs the FCC's approval to use its spectrum for another purpose. In January, the FCC gave LightSquared conditional approval, saying it could deploy its cell phone network as long as it didn't interfere with nearby GPS frequencies. Shortly afterwards, key players in the GPS industry and government officials warned that LightSquared's proposed architecture would disrupt GPS reception, throwing off airplanes, precision tractors, space craft, and more.
Last week LightSquared also announced that has worked with an unnamed GPS device manufacturer to developed a new filter, launching this week, that would mitigate most GPS interferences; however it remains to be seen who will pay for the costs of retrofitting the devices.

Sync limits
Locked out of your account? G Suite administrators can check the User list in the Google Admin console to find details on which limits you hit and when access will be restored. In some cases, a G Suite, Government or Education account administrator can reset the Gmail suspension.
G Suite limits the amount of bandwidth available for account synchronization just as it does for bandwidth in general. And just as with bandwidth, exceeding these limits via sync can result in a temporarily suspended account. See Bandwidth limits for common causes and solutions. Read the remainder of this article for recommendations to avoid sync limits.
Reaching the bandwidth limit for sync may be caused by any of these clients:
- Android Gmail app
- Google Sync clients (using the Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® protocol)
- G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook® clients
- Gmail Offline app for Google Chrome
Note that the actions of clients and services using IMAP, such as the BlackBerry® Internet Service (BIS), Mozilla Thunderbird, and Apple Mail, do not count towards the sync bandwidth limit. There are separate bandwidth limits for clients and services using IMAP.
- Don't perform migrations or bulk operations using sync clients
- Avoid large copy/paste or drag/drop operations in your email client.
- If you're migrating, use a supported migration option and avoid using drag/drop or copy/paste in G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook® to upload messages. Try using the integrated import function in G Suite Sync.
This is particularly important if you've exceeded the upload bandwidth limit via sync.
- Avoid manually resyncing the client, particularly when using G Suite Sync. This can unnecessarily download the entire mailbox again, rather then syncing only the last changes.
- For G Suite Sync, try reducing your local mailbox size.
Prevent continuous retriesSome email clients may retry failed actions again and again until they use up the account's bandwidth allowance. Try to recreate the profile or sync relationship on all sync clients to make sure they aren't retrying any pending actions. Try the following steps if you've exceeded the upload bandwidth limit via sync:
- Look for messages stuck in the Outbox of any of your sync clients. Messages that are rejected by Gmail due to blocked attachments or attachment size may remain in the Outbox and repeatedly fail to be uploaded, using up bandwidth continuously.
- Some network issues may cause clients to fail when uploading messages, making them retry repeatedly. Make sure your network connection is stable, for example by switching between mobile data and WiFi.
- Drafts containing attachments can consume large amounts of bandwidth as they get updated when the draft is saved. Avoid unnecessary and redundant drafts.
- Manage your sync clients
Having multiple clients means every message gets downloaded multiple times, proportionally increasing bandwidth consumption. Remove or disable unused sync clients and quit clients when not in use. Remember that changes made on one client or the web interface sync to all clients. So avoid making large changes if you have multiple sync clients, or decrease the amount of clients in use.
- Check for unknown/unwanted sync clients
In some cases, a user or admin may have set up a sync client and stopped using it without disabling it.
Navigate to the Google accounts authorizations page and revoke any unwanted items under Connected Sites, Apps, and Services and Application-specific passwords (if applicable).
Change the G Suite password to make sure any sync clients set up using that password can't access the account anymore. Then, enable desired clients one by one a few hours apart to pinpoint any offending client.
Use an alternative method
You can use the web interface or IMAP while you investigate sync issues, as a workaround while sync is locked out, or permanently in order to minimize sync usage.

Fernando Alonso gets thumb insurance for £9million
Fernando Alonso has had his thumbs insured for £9million because they're important for changing gear in his Ferrari F1 car – and celebrating.
The Oviedo-born motorracing star, who won back-to-back world championship titles in 2005 and 2006, has had his famous digits covered by Ferrari title sponsors Santander as part of a new publicity campaign.
Alonso is also now personally sponsored by the Spanish banking group giant – who gave his thumbs an eight-figure value in Euros.
'Alonso's thumbs are a symbol, as well as being essential for driving a formula one car,' a Santander spokesperson said.
'They are a sign of victory and that everything is under control and well protected.'
The former Renault and McLaren star signed a long-term deal at Ferrari earlier this year, just a few weeks after Santander joined the Maranello outfit as title sponsors.
Unconfirmed reports suggest Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa will get fully comprehensive cover for his arse as part of the next publicity stunt in Brazil.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — When the Minnesota Vikings play at Washington this weekend, Adrian Peterson will be returning to the scene of his devastating knee injury less than 10 months after it happened.
And he's returning at close to 100 percent.
The next step in Peterson's remarkable recovery comes Sunday against the Redskins. Peterson says he still thinks about that day last season when he tore the ACL in his left knee at FedEx Field. But he says he's moved on and is more focused on helping the Vikings to improve to 5-1 this season.
Peterson has been bothered by a sore left ankle. But he says there's no doubt in his mind he'll be able to play.

Once they're outside of the house, Big Brother houseguests seem to participate in three primary activities: blogging on MySpace, auctioning their stuff off on eBay to try to make the money they didn't win on the show, and showing up to host challenges on new seasons of Big Brother. If they're extremely lucky, they'll show up on another reality show and get to remove a genital wart from a fellow cast member's penis.
Except for the penis STD, these things aren't necessarily specific to the cast members on the show, but it's still all very pathetic. Apparently, though, at least one of those activities can be lucrative.
As an example, recent castoff Steven apparently sold a cutoff t-shirt he wore in the house for $1,075 on eBay. And with one day left to bid, his hat is going for more than $350, while another t-shirt is going for more than $500, and it has sleeves.
The money is going to the charity known as Steven, who proves that it's him by writing in the items' description, "This is really Steven from Big Brother 10." He explains that he'll use the money to buy himself a new vehicle. "If you are familiar with the show then you know that my truck blew up on the way to Big Brother and I am trying to raise money for a down payment on a new vehicle. If you would like a piece of TV history then bid on this item," he wrote.

Classic cartoon. Something for everyone, funny, historical context, with a good message too.
An adorable movie based on one of the most popular Greek myths. a great film for the family.
Wow! I finally saw this after hearing so many good things about it, and I will say that I am very impressed. It should be recognized as a classic and not forgotten! Just like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan, and Treasure Planet, Hercules is another Disney movie that time has over-shadowed. However, it is just as good as the classics. I loved the main characters, specifically Hercules, Meg, and Hades. They were probably the best among the cast, especially Meg. She and Herc make a great couple; I love them together! Plus, this movie is REALLY funny. Seriously, more humor than you'd expect. Also, the pacing was done very well. Although most of the songs come in the beginning (and can seem like an overdose), the movie progressed at a steady pace, making things interesting and having the scenes flow smoothly together. Although the CGI is NOTHING like what we have now and looks a bit dated, it doesn't take away too much to the overall essence of the film. Again, I say well done, Disney. Go watch this; it needs a larger fan base.
Oh good you got Hercules it 's about time i needed it for school for my school project but it was already my school project so i had to borrow my friends VHS instead my project was dute a longtime ago in November 4th i think i'm pritty sure but I already done my project but i would still love to barrow it and watch it but i did watch this movie at school before in the 6th grade cause we had a project to do back than too i think in . gr. 9 i did watch it too and had to write about the movie too i remeber yes i did and we did watch it on vhs. And you said it's only on bluray when it is not i was right it is not only on Blu-ray cause I seen it in stores she is really my cousin Dec 4 2014.
Loosely based on a bit of well-known Greek Mythology, our story opens with the sweet, baby Hercules (son of the Greek god, Zeus) being snatched from his cradle one night, high on Mount Olympus, by a pair of bungling henchmen sent by Hades (god of the Underworld), whose diabolical plan is to defeat and then, ultimately, overthrow Zeus._____ Due to Hercules unforseen circumstances he is left on Earth to be raised by mortal parents, yet, at the same time, he's able to retain his amazing, god-like strength._____ As an awkward teen Hercules discovers his immortal heritage. With plenty of help from his great pal Pegasus, the winged horse, Hercules quickly learns the way to becoming a famed hero as he battles hideous monsters sent by Hades._____ This pleasant, well-paced story (suited for the enjoyment of all ages) is nicely spiced with gags and songs.
waited a long time to get it from the library but it was really good and worth the wait!
5/5 Stars, an instant classic-enough said.
Iv'e enjoyed this movie since i was young it shows you how much one the main hero hercules is trying to make a name for himself. but also how hard work and believing in yourself can go a really long way. It's a real action type film for those who love suspense and thrill.

RIDLEY PARK - A 12-year-old middle school student is in custody for allegedly posting threats on Facebook that he planned to bring a weapon to school today and gun down fellow students.
The boy, who is not being named because of his age, was taken into custody early this morning and charged with terroristic threats, unlawful use of a computer and harassment, according to District Attorney Jack Whelan.
The comments were posted on Facebook on Monday, Ridley School Superintendent Lee Ann Wentzel said. Police sources told the Daily Times the boy named individual students as targets on the Facebook page.
Detectives from the Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force worked through the night to identify the boy. He and his mother were interviewed early this morning before he was taken into custody.
The boy is currently being held at the Delaware County Juvenile Detention Center in Middletown, Whelan said.
School officials were notified early this morning that the threats made on Facebook were a hoax and that it was safe open school today.
Many parents kept their children home, despite assurances from the school district that the culprit who staged the hoax was in custody, according to sources.

The book begins, "Except for global warming, healing your inner child, and achieving financial success in life, I doubt few other topics have been as exhaustively written about as organizational strategic planning." Is the author unfamiliar with love, war, religion, and Paris Hilton? But things improve a bit when author Brian Carpenter spins a tale about fictional Breezy Palms Charter School, the board of which is composed of regular, down-to-earth people with good intentions but no strategic plan. Because its students are not achieving at high academic levels, Breezy Palms almost has its charter revoked. The authorizer decrees that the school may stay open, but only if its board presents a strategic plan that prescribes how the school will improve.
Enter The Seven Outs: figure out, find out, scope out, write out, carry out, measure out, and shout out. By constructing its strategic plan according to The Outs' guidance, the school stays open. The book's second half delves into The Seven Outs and describes how these can be applied to schools. While some of the lessons are basic common sense-preparing for board meetings, planning your weekly/month schedule-we know that lots of charter boards have little idea what they're doing, and so, simple instructions, as this book offers, can be helpful. Value can be found in The Seven Outs for those who have an interest in charter-school governance. The book can be ordered here.

JIM LEHRER: And next tonight, a Senate showdown on defense spending. NewsHour congressional correspondent Kwame Holman reports.
KWAME HOLMAN: The F-22 Raptor fighter is a stealth aircraft built to ensure American air dominance over the battlefield. But on a vote of 58-40 today, the U.S. Senate called a halt to further production of the planes that cost more than $350 million each.
The vote to keep the F-22 fleet at 187 aircraft was a significant victory for President Obama and Defense Secretary Gates, who have labeled the F-22 program an outmoded, expensive luxury.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Every dollar of waste in our defense budget is a dollar we can't spend to support our troops or prepare for future threats or protect the American people. Our budget is a zero-sum game. And if more money goes to F-22s, it is our troops and our citizens who lose.
KWAME HOLMAN: The F-22 originally was planned and designed to take on the Soviet air force. None has flown in combat over Iraq or Afghanistan. That's why Secretary Gates decided earlier this year no more F-22s were needed.
ROBERT GATES, Secretary of Defense: The military advice that I got was that there is no military requirement for numbers of F-22s beyond 187.
KWAME HOLMAN: But that led to a confrontation with Congress, one of the biggest on defense spending in decades. Mark Thompson covers the Pentagon for Time magazine.
MARK THOMPSON, Time Magazine: The F-22 was a very symbolic issue for Secretary Gates based on the people I'm speaking to, simply because it's emblematic of an old-fashioned kind of war that most military experts don't see looming on the horizon. In fact, they don't see it for the next 20 to 30 years at the earliest.
KWAME HOLMAN: Members from both parties, along with contractors, counterattacked and the climax today came on the Senate floor. The fight was over an amendment to the defense authorization bill offered by the top senators on the Armed Services Committee, Carl Levin and John McCain, to cut funding for the plane, which is manufactured or subcontracted in 44 states.
The stakes were raised by the president's promise to veto any bill with extra F-22 money, a message reinforced in strong terms by Secretary Gates in a speech last week in Chicago.
ROBERT GATES: Where do we draw the line? And if not now, when? If we can't get this right, what on Earth can we get right? It is time to draw the line on doing defense business as usual.
KWAME HOLMAN: Gates' vehemence was echoed today by Senator Levin.
SEN. CARL LEVIN, D-Mich.: If not now, when? If not now, when? When will we end production of a weapons system if not now, when you have both President Obama and President Bush trying to end it, secretaries of defense trying to end it, chairmen of the Joint Chiefs trying to end the production of the F-22. We must now do the sensible thing.
Strange bedfellows
KWAME HOLMAN: The amendment fight led to cross-aisle coalitions of senators who often are at odds.
Georgia Republican Saxby Chambliss led the charge for the funding. Lockheed Martin, which is the principal contractor building the F-22, has significant operations in his state. Chambliss invoked airmen and soldiers who have little say in the funding debate.
SEN. SAXBY CHAMBLISS, R-Ga.: They've been willing to stand up and say that, if you cut production of the F-22 off at 187, you're going to put this country at a high risk from a national security standpoint.
KWAME HOLMAN: Connecticut Democrat Christopher Dodd argued that thousands of jobs were at stake.
SEN. CHRIS DODD, D-Conn.: From both a manufacturing perspective, a job loss at a time when unemployment rates are skyrocketing, this body is about to lay off anywhere from 25,000 to 90,000 people.
KWAME HOLMAN: McCain recognized that potential employment impact, but in arguing against the funding invoked a famous warning from Dwight Eisenhower.
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-Ariz.: I would only add to President Eisenhower's farewell address to the nation, which is compelling in many ways, that it should be changed -- the words should be changed from military industrial to military industrial congressional complex.
What we are seeing here, despite the advice and counsel of our president, of our secretary of defense, of our uniformed military, with rare exception, is a recommendation that we stop with this aircraft and build another.
KWAME HOLMAN: Mark Thompson.
MARK THOMPSON: The sense of today's vote was, if the F-22 proponents had succeeded, that that really could have derailed Secretary Gates' efforts to retool the Pentagon in a significant way.
This may be the first time in a decade that an important vote in Congress about the future shape and direction of the U.S. military has taken place. The people I talked to suggest that this vote today is a big victory for Secretary Gates and will help him continue to remake the Pentagon.
KWAME HOLMAN: Today's vote appears to be the end of the line for the F-22, even though the House preserved funding for the plane in its version of the defense bill. The two bills now will be reconciled and the final fate of the Raptor likely decided.

Members of the Cimarron Alliance, an Oklahoma City LGBT rights organization, plan to meet with the FBI on Wednesday afternoon about a possible hate crime that happened in the city on Saturday.
Jon Ferguson said he was awakened by his car alarm on Saturday morning at his Northwest Oklahoma City house. When he got up he found two men in the alley vandalizing his car. "Fag" was scrawled across the hood of the car.
As he approached the men, Ferguson reported that one of them threw an incendiary device into his Camaro, which burst into flames.
Hamilton said Ferguson isn't sure whether the flames burned him or if it was debris flying from the car. He called 911 and jumped in the shower, which may have kept his injuries from becoming more severe, but he has burns on about 35 percent of his body.
"He will have some scarring," Hamilton said.
Police are not calling it a hate crime at this time.
"This is still being handled as arson," Hamilton said. "It made sense to get the FBI involved early."
OKC's News 9 reported on the incident.

You made my day with your post about Maxx! I've been really worried about that handsome boy!
Dog of the Day
Cat of the Day
Pet of the Day
You made my day with your post about Maxx! I've been really worried about that handsome boy!
Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
Creamsicle rests her head on my chest, then reaches up and touches my face w/her paw. A big "aaaaaw" is heard whenever anyone is around to see it.
"Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all." Ecclesiastes 9:11
Which to choose....I know!
When we're out in the garden on a 'romp', I'll stand at the top of the terraces, and say, "Where's my kitten? Where's my kitten? Where's my giiiiirrrrll?" Only after that last word, Pinot will turn to face me, wiggle her butt and come on a dead run toward me. She stops just in time to rub up against my leg and meow/purr, "Here I am, Mom!".
Also, b/c Creamsicle is a CH girl, she can't go up and down stairs the way the other cats can. So she learned early on to bunny hop when going down. It's the funniest thing to watch from behind. She's got the speed, too. Nothing slows this girl down.
"Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all." Ecclesiastes 9:11
Fancy would not be able to meow like a regular cat. She would open her mouth to meow but nothing would come out lol. Maybe a little "eh" "eh" .. kind of sound. It was so cute!!
Also she loved giving me kisses. And she knew her name so well, Fancy would come when I called her & trot over to me when I wanted her fast.
I used to have three little kittens in my garden. Their mother knew me so, she would rub herself against my legs. Well, the kittens were scared of me so, when their mother used to come, then they would come a little close to me. One Day the momma cat was sitting next to me, and one of the little kittens came real close to me, bit my toe a little and then suddenly realized it was close to me. After realizing it ran as fast as it could, to get away from me
There is a cat in our neighborhood and I WISH I COULD KEEP IT!!! I love it soo much, but, due to certain reasons..it can't be my pet well, at night I used to go to my sister's home. Her home is made in a way that when you enter through the gate, there is a tiled place where usually there is one car parked. Other than that, there are a couple of trees. In that place there is a door which leads to the inside of the house. At night the cat used to come and sit on the tiled area and wait for somebody to come outside. Well, whenever I went to her place, I WOULD ALWAYS WANT TO SEE THE CAT!! I went to it once and it was rubbing against my legs and I started to scratch its neck. It slowly sat down. And then, I had to go inside, so as I walking, it put its paw on my foot to tell me to stop. My aunt was sitting there and she was laughed a little at what the kitty did. So I had to stand there and wait for the kitty to move a bit far away so, that i can go inside I really want to see it again!!

Castlevania: Bloodlines
Review by YourBunghole
"One of the Many reasons why we have so many old schoolers...Great Games like this."
Bloodlines is a little known Genesis game, Lost in the shuffle of the 16 Bit Wars, and perhaps overshadowed by it's SNES Predecessor, Super Castlevania IV. It's a good game, combining traditional Castlevania style play, with Innovation, which is commonly absent in Long Running series. Bloodlines features 2 Vampire Hunters, John Morris, an American, a descendent of the Belmont Clan. He is Bloodlines Whipman, And controls like Simon, Trevor, and Richter from the other games. Eric Alcard(sp?) is a spear weilding spaniard, adds a different element from the typical Castlevania.
Graphics- 85%
It has excellent graphics for a Genesis Game, the only exceeding games I know of are maybe Comix Zone, Sonic & Knuckles and such. The Sprites are medium sized, good looking and fit in with the gothic architecture. Konami manages to make SNES-Style Mode 7 effects on the Genesis, with Fog and such surrounding most levels.
Audio- 75%
The Genesis wasn't known for great music. Konami works it's Touch still, producing excellent music, despite Genesis's Limits. The Usual Remixes of The recurring music is there, and almost always matches it's surroundings. The Sound Effects are decent as well.
Gameplay- 80%
This is where the game shines. The Control is effective and responsive, just as it should be. Morris and Alcard are not just clones of eachother with different weapons. Morris's Whip is Stronger and Faster, Can whip 8 Directions while jumping, and can do a spider-man esque Fling across celings to get across those giant gaps. Eric Alcard's Spear can be used from 8 directions standing, but only vertically while Jumping. He can catapault himself up using his spear in a pogo-stick fashion, and can do a neat little spear spin while standing still(Not very effective, but cool anyway). They Both jump the same way, and other than the things I've said, are the same. There are still the normal Castlevania elements all here such as throwing daggers, boomerangs, Holy water, and such. But they did downgrade a little for some reason, you can't freely throw around your whip like you can in SCIV, nor Kneewalk. Why the deevoulution?
Replay- 60%
Not much. There are 3 diffulculty levels, and that's the replay for the game. It's hard on the Easy Setting, it's extreme on the Expert setting. You get a better ending depending on the diffulculty you complete the game at. Typical 16-Bit Era Stuff.
Test of Time- 70%
If this was released for Playstation One with the Genesis Graphics and Sound updated, it would do quite well in my opinion. But if it was released for PSX exactly the same, It would kinda bomb there. If Konami does continue the idea of remaking old Castlevania Games to PS1 as they did with Castlevania Chronicles, Bloodlines should be on the to do list.
Overall: 80%
A Great Platformer for the 16 Bit Era player looking for an alternative to Sonic and Mario. It's the second best Castlevania of the 16-Bit Era(Super Castlevania IV beating it, and Bloodlines beating Dracula X), and easily deserving of a slot in anyones Best Platformers List. I reccomend picking it up if you can find it for 30 dollars or less on E-Bay or anyother way of finding it. You won't regret it.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

If hot girls in fishnets, with guns and kick ass moves are your style (and thank you jebus they are are mine!) then Sucker Punch is a must see for all you horny fan boy types that love a good pseudo dominatrix storyline with hot babes that will grab a hold of your piece and threaten you with a good time.
And with hotties like Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, fantastic Carla Gugino, Jena Malone and Jamie Chung working the crowd at this weekends COMI-CON at the San Diego Convention Center into a frothing at the lips frenzy for a taste of Zack Snyders original concept flick (a novelty these days), I cannot wait for the March 2011 release.

NEW YORK – Two high schools won awards Saturday for their efforts at the Global Classrooms International Model U.N. Conference, which assembled nearly 2,500 students from 23 countries to discuss global issues in a simulation of real U.N. sessions, the organizer said.
Nada High School in Hyogo Prefecture and Nishiyamato Gakuen High School in Nara Prefecture were among six Japanese schools that sent delegations to the United Nations Association of the United States of America's latest annual event, held for three days from Thursday.
Delegates to the event, who pretend to be diplomats representing a country assigned by the organizer, negotiate with their counterparts just as in actual U.N. procedures. The Japanese were asked to represent Croatia.
Nishiyamato Gakuen students Kazuhiro Sato and Hironobu Nishida, both 17, were recognized for their efforts to have the simulated U.N. General Assembly adopt a resolution against cyberterrorism.
"We and a few others drew up a draft resolution and circulated it" to garner support from other delegations, said Nishida. "I can't believe we won the award as there were so many times when I thought we wouldn't make it," said Sato.

Fruit flies take over California
Despite officials' best efforts to rid California of invasive fruit flies, the pests are here to stay. That's the conclusion of a new report in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, which says five to nine species are now established in the state.
Tropical fruit flies "are recognized by entomologists as among the most destructive agricultural insect pests in the world," the authors write. Government agencies have pulled out all the stops to quash the California invasions, trying everything from early-detection programs to limitations on imports from infested areas.
But fruit flies have managed to evade these measures. The researchers gathered detection reports from government agencies and other data sources from 1950 to 2012, then mapped the sightings. Two fruit fly species appeared in the 1950s; by the 1980s, that number had grown to 13. And the number of cities known to harbor the bugs skyrocketed from two to more than 300 in 50 years.
One consolation is that the local fruit fly populations are "extremely small," the team writes. But for now, eradication remains out of reach. — Roberta Kwok | 6 August 2013
