Skip to 0 minutes and 9 seconds In most of our free-body diagrams so far, forces have been applied by strings, so it was easy to know which direction they go in. You can work it out by geometry. It's not always so easy. We need to be able to represent many different loading situations. Here are some common ones and their conventional representations. The left hand figure shows a heavy beam supported by a roller at one end and a pin joint at the other. The right hand figure shows a free-body diagram. It's a heavy beam so we've included the weight. Can you see that the rollers applies a force perpendicular to the surface it rolls against? And of course it can only push upwards in this case.
Skip to 0 minutes and 55 seconds The pin joint can push and pull and it can go sideways too. You can represent its effect by components as shown or by a result and at an angle to some datum. In either case, it requires two quantities. We often neglect friction in the pin joint but if you can't, you'll need to add a couple. Here's another common situation, a built-in end. Common terms are encastre and cantilever. It's like a pin joint with a lot of friction. The free-body diagram has force components in two directions and an end-fixing moment. The weight of the beam has been neglected in this case.
Skip to 1 minute and 39 seconds If you're not sure of the sense of force components up or down, left or right, then don't worry about it too much. If you get it wrong, it generally just comes out negative. There are exceptions. For example, a roller can only push and fix and forces must oppose motion. We'll see that in week five. Common sense and intuition can help. Check your intuition on this one. If you have a pin joint instruct when the weight can be neglected, then the forces at each end must be equal, opposite, and in the same line. You'll see the reason in week four.
Skip to 2 minutes and 17 seconds If you just show pin joints with two force components at each end, it's not wrong and you'll get the right answer, but you are missing out on insights. You're not exercising your engineers' eyes. Now you are ready for some tutorial problems and then some design.
Analysis: Conventional interactions
You are now well prepared for drawing and analysing complex Free-Body Diagrams.
But for this you will need to know about conventional interactions. How do you represent a beam jutting out from a wall, for instance?
This video will explain.
Talking points
- Do the conventional interactions make intuitive sense to you?

Women who take antibiotics during pregnancy could risk their children growing up obese, new research has suggested.
Scientists at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health found that foetuses exposed to such drugs in the second or third trimester were more likely to be significantly overweight by the time they reached age seven.
The findings, which were published in the International Journal of Obesity, also revealed that childhood obesity appears to be linked to caesarean sections. Mothers that underwent the procedure, whether by choice or not, had a higher risk of their child becoming obese.
Noel Mueller, postdoctoral research fellow at Columbia University, described the results as 'novel', adding they should be explored in further studies.
'If these findings hold up, they suggest new mechanisms through which childhood growth trajectories are influenced at the earliest stages of development,' he stated.
'Our findings should not discourage antibiotic use when they are medically needed, but it is important to recognise that antibiotics are currently overprescribed.'
Of the 727 mothers who enrolled on the study, 436 women and their kids were monitored until the child was seven. Only 16 per cent of the mothers used antibiotics during the second or third trimester.
However, there was an 84 per cent higher chance of obesity in children who were exposed to the drug within this timeframe, compared with those who were not.
Antibiotics may be able to enter the foetus' circulatory system via the placenta, which could create an imbalance in bacterial populations. This is thought to have a number of health implications in children, such as obesity.
Similarly, caesarean sections are thought to prevent the traditional transmission of bacteria between mother and offspring, upsetting the natural balance.
Dr Mueller argued that more needs to be done to stop 'medically unnecessary' caesareans and more research is required into boosting healthy bacteria in infants.
Antibiotics in pregnancy 'up child obesity risk'

Say It In Greek
I'm A Man: Sex, Gods and Rock 'n' Roll
By Ruth Padel
Faber & Faber 382pp £9.99 order from our bookshop
Rock music is like religion: it's something you grow out of. And then later, wiser maybe, you grow back into it. Guys take it very seriously, like religion (think 'Clapton is God', scrawled on the walls of the London Underground). Ruth Padel grew into it late and takes it seriously. As a young woman she played chamber music with her family, studied Classics, wrote poetry – and so her stance in this study of white rock and its relation to black music and Western masculinity is that of the cultured outsider.

In time for Good Friday and Easter, Derby Dinner Playhouse presents the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar, set to begin tomorrow.
Jesus Christ Superstar will run six days a week from February 22-April 3. Even shows will go on at 7:45 p.m. with doors and buffet opening at 6 p.m. Sunday matinees will be at 1:30 p.m. with 11:45 a.m. opening of the doors. Also, Wednesday matinees will take place at 1 p.m. with doors opening at 11:45 a.m. All shows will occur at Derby Dinner Playhouse, located at 525 Marriott Drive in Clarksville, IN.
Tickets for all shows depend on the day. Saturday shows are $43 per person, Friday shows are $40, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday evening shows are $29, Sunday matinees are $35, and Wednesday matinees are $34 per person. All tickets can be purchased at the Derby Dinner box office, the Derby Dinner website, or by calling 812-288-8281.
Jesus Christ Superstar tells the well-known Biblical story of Jesus's final days, including being betrayed by one of his followers and being nailed to the cross. His faith is neverending, however, and that faith leads to countless other followers.
Andrew Lloyd Webber created the music for Jesus Christ Superstar, and Tim Rice created the lyrics. The rock musical landed on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger Theatre from 1971-1973. It subsequently was revived on Broadway twice, most recently in 2000.
The Derby Dinner cast for Jesus Christ Superstar's run includes Brett Travis as Jesus, Kendra Payne as Mary Magdalene, Nir Chalamish as Judas, John Payonk as Pilate, and Liam O'Daniel-Munger as Caiaphas. Lee Buckholz directed the production, Megan Bliss was choreographer, and Scott Bradley provided musical direction.
During Jesus Christ Superstar's run, Derby Dinnery Playhouse will present Alexander, Who's Not, Not, Not, Not, Not, Not Going to Move. The children's theatre production will run on Saturdays from Feb. 26-March 26. More information on the show can be found at the Derby Dinner Playhouse website.

| 12.7°C Belfast
Unemployment in Northern Ireland has steadied at a rate of 5.8% and is showing "real" improvement on three years ago, it's been claimed.
The separate claimant count measure - the numbers of those signing on to claim benefits - was also down to 37,800 in January, a fall of 800.
In total, there were 10,300 fewer people claiming job seekers' allowance last month than there were in January 2015, according to the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).
Enterprise Minister Jonathan Bell welcomed the drop in claimant count but said the unemployment rate had not fallen on last year.
"It is important therefore that local businesses continue to develop through research and development, seeking new markets and promoting inward investment
At 4.2%, Northern Ireland still had the highest claimant count rate of 12 UK regions. Long-term unemployment - those who have been signing on for 12 months or more - had fallen by nearly 4%.
And while the unemployment rate of 5.8% was unchanged on last year, a spokesman for the Department for Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) said that it was down from 7.7% three years earlier. That drop was "greater than the statistical margin of error and likely to reflect real change".
But while long-term unemployment had fallen, at 51.7%, it was higher than the UK rate of 29.3%. And at 26.8%, Northern Ireland still had the highest rate of economic inactivity of the 12 UK regions.
At 17.5%, the unemployment rate among young people aged 18 to 24 had fallen slightly on the year before. But it remained much higher than the UK average of 11.7%. There were 10,069 under 25s claiming JSA during January, which was up by 229 on December, but down 2,432 over the year.
Danske Bank chief economist Angela McGowan said the labour market in Northern Ireland was performing "reasonably well".
But she said there could be difficulties on the horizon.
"Given the current financial market turmoil and other global economic pressures stemming from slower growth in China and emerging markets, Northern Ireland's labour market is holding up reasonably well with unemployment claimants continuing to fall.
"However, there are headwinds on the horizon."
Global risks were rising, she said, which could put pressure on "business investment levels, exports, growth and the hiring of new staff.
"In addition, heightened domestic risks stemming from the Brexit referendum will reduce investment appetite right across the UK at least until June 2016.
"The task of growing local employment levels is currently set against a very challenging backdrop and to be successful in this regard Northern Ireland policymakers and business leaders must remain focused on the fundamentals of economic growth."
Job creation, she said, required "relentless" focus on education, skills, infrastructure, technological advancement, connectivity, trade and investment."

Tele Vue 15mm Plossl Eyepiece

Tele Vue 15mm Plossl Eyepiece
Televue 15mm Plossl Eyepiece
Diffraction limited "on-axis" performance is a given. Using more expensive high-index glasses to reduce astigmatism and lateral color at the field's edge, Tele Vue Plossls deliver sharper images than any other brand of 4 or 5 element "Plossl" or Orthoscopic designs. The faster the focal ratio of your telescope, the greater your visual reward for using Tele Vue eyepieces. Tele Vue Plossls feature full multicoatings for greatest light transmission and contrast. Blackened lens edges and internal anti-reflection threads tweak the last bit of contrast for maximum image detail. The sharper field focuses faint star light into perceptible points and allows those with undriven mounts to gaze longer before repositioning the image.
The 55mm focal length has the largest true field possible for 2" eyepiece holders -3 times the true field area of any 1-1/4" eyepiece. The focal plane is placed at the end of the barrel to minimize vignetting. Performance with Schmidt-Cassegrains is remarkable since it avoids the image degradation and severe vignetting which occurs when using telecompressors. Long eye-relief and unique adjustable eyeguard for eyeglass wearers.
In the 1-1/4" series TeleVue included a long eye-relief 40mm focal length in the series with a 43 degree apparent field. Like the 55mm, its focal plane is at the barrel edge for maximum field in the 1-1/4" format. The 32mm Plossl, with its larger 50 degree apparent field, will deliver the same true field as the 40mm but with higher magnification. The 32mm is parfocal with the shorter focal length Plossls. The 25mm, 20mm, 15mm, 11mm and 8mm Plossls round out the focal lengths for various observing from deep sky to planetary. They work best with Tele Vue Powermates to effectively double the number of focal lengths in your collection. Far superior to eyepieces usually provided as standard with most instruments.
For a bit more than generic brands, you can own a genuine Tele Vue Plossl!
OPT Product Number: TE-EAP-15.0
All Televue products are available to ship world-wide from OPT, and effective July 1, 2008, are covered by a Five Year Worldwide Limited Product Warranty! Always be sure to save your original packaging materials should you need to return any Televue product for warranty or repair.

Excellent eyepiece. Provides very clear, sharp views across the entire FOV. Very nice construction. However, it seems to have a slightly more restricted FOV than other similar plossls and comes with a much higher price.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) August 22, 2013
USARAD.com, a leading U.S. Joint Commission Accredited teleradiology and telemedicine solutions provider, recently launched SecondOpinions.com to benefit multiple stakeholders including consumers, employers and healthcare providers. This unique service which features state-of-the-art proprietary web-based consumer platform connects patients globally to top U.S. physicians in any specialty and sub-specialty.
Click this link to view the television interview that recently aired on WKMG-TV, ABC in Orlando, Florida: https://secondopinions.com/mediaroom/television-interviews.html
For those who use this service multiple times per year, SecondOpinions.com Membership Program gives clients the opportunity to buy an annual membership with unlimited or deeply discounted second opinions from top specialists and sub-specialists.
Individual and family plans start at an affordable $9.99 per month, while employer plans start at only $6.99 per month per employee. Physician and medical facilities receive one-year free membership and obtain 50-percent off of radiology second opinions and 20-percent off of general medical consultations. Besides cost savings, membership programs offer a number of exciting features and perks. Patients have 24/7 access to a comprehensive medical library, lifetime storage of radiology records and unlimited radiology second opinions. In addition, some plans offer general and even specialty medical consultations.
New membership programs are especially beneficial to patients who receive numerous second opinions each year. Patients like Jack Cooksey of Fort Collins, Colorado. "Unfortunately, my wife and I have significant health issues that require ongoing imaging. I can't even express in a few words how incredibly important this service has been to us." Cooksey has used SecondOpinions.com six times. "They've provided superior, detailed readings comparing images of different types (MRI, X-ray, CT Scans) and from different hospitals for a fraction of the cost of the initial single readings by the imaging centers." Cooksey has recommended SecondOpinions.com to doctors and friends. "We were very pleased to learn SecondOpinions.com is now offering membership plans. For anyone expecting a series of images related to surgery or other health issues, the membership plan is a great way to save on services that are already surprisingly inexpensive."
SecondOpinions.com allows patients to simply upload their radiology images (MRI, CT etc.) to a HIPAA regulated, secure, confidential platform and receive a report in the privacy of their own home or office. In addition, doctors in virtually every medical specialty are on standby to provide consultations via phone or video chat. Obtaining a second opinion decreases medical errors, saves lives, and keeps healthcare costs down by preventing unnecessary surgeries and procedures. It gives patients the peace of mind they need and deserve. Quality assurance techniques such as second opinions will soon be mandatory for physicians and medical facilities under The Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

With holiday season in full swing, the employees of Impact Logistics are taking time to support some less fortunate members of their community, both here and far away.
The company's "Christmas Backpacks" project, which began as a way for Impact employees to make a positive impact on young people in Honduras, has this year expanded and includes local students. Developed under the company's Point of Impact non-profit division, the project sends 450 backpacks to underprivileged students in Honduras at the beginning of each year.
This year, Impact partnered with Memphis Athletic Ministries (MAM) and doubled the scope of the project. Now, for $60, donors will be able to send backpacks filled with school supplies and uniforms to students in Honduras and in the Memphis area. This new partnership will ensure that 900 students will start the New Year with a fresh uniform, new school shoes, and school supplies.
The annual project is generating plenty of attention and has attracted increased donations this year. Impact founder David Hamilton recently promoted the "Christmas Backpacks" program on WREG-TV and a feature story was published in The Bartlett Express.

But I want to post the next part of "Wild & Untamed" ... I know a lot of you are waiting for it .. I just hope, it will not disappoint you ;)
Title: Wild & Untamed (27/?)
Fandom: Casey / Zeke
Rating: ähm ... NC 17 ???
Disclaimer: of course, not mine
Previous parts: one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight / nine / ten / eleven / twelve / thirteen / fourteen / fifteen / sixteen / seventeen / eighteen / nineteen / twenty / twenty-one / twenty-two / twenty-three / twenty-four / twenty-five / twenty-six /
This story is written for romeny
Casey put down the pics he just looked over and opened his door. His father was standing outside, with the phone in his hand.
"It's for you!"
Casey frowned. He couldn't guess who would call him that late in the evening. To be honest, usually no one called him, late or not, beside of his grandparents. Probably it was a simply misunderstanding.
"Who is it," he asked.
"He didn't reveal his name. Apparently one of these boys from the photo club. He says, he has forgotten to tell you something important this afternoon!"
Casey gaped at his father, unable to think clearly, until the man thrust the phone into his hand.
"Keep it short, okay," he smiled.
"And tell your friend, that this is an exception today. It's a bit late for a call!"
Casey nodded, feeling numb.
He was just glad that his dad was already on the way back into his office, so he wouldn't notice his shaking hands. Once back in his own room he made sure that the door was closed, before he put the phone to his ear.
The chuckling on the other side was unmistakable. He dropped down onto his bed.
"Oh God," he murmured.
"Zeke? What has happened?"
"I miss you!"
Casey gasped.
"Are you totally crazy now? You've scared the shit out of me! You cannot simply call me!"
"Why not? That is what a phone is for, right?"
"But ... my parents ... and ... I ... you can't ... "
Again this smooth chuckling.
"I wanted to hear your voice!"
"This is ridiculous!"
"Tell me something!"
"Anything. What are you doing right now?"
"Working on the photoproject. Mr. Brown is going to kill me if I've not finished it till tomorrow. There are still a few more pics I must edit new. I must go on, Zeke. It's nearly 9 o'clock and I will have to go to bed soon!"
"Aww. Poor little baby-boy. Will you think of me, when you jerk off tonight?"
Casey coughed. Zeke's voice was so teasing and seducing. It never missed it's desired effect. Also now he felt the heat running through his body, right into his groin, leaving his dick hard and yearning for a real touch. For Zeke's touch, for his hands and lips and ...
Okay, he needed this to stop! Now!
"Zeke! I'm not gonna ..."
"Oh yes, you will. I know, you miss it. Tell me, Baby blue, what do you think about when you're doing it?"
Casey closed his eyes and tried to take a deep breath.
"Please, Zeke, stop it! My parents ..."
The amused giggling made him wish to be able to kill him. Right now!
"Oh! I get it. Your dad is eavesdropping at your door!"
"Of course not! But ... I don't talk about this shit! So shut up!"
"You don't? Oh, you would prefer to do it, eh? Come on, Case, tell me. Maybe we can do it together!"
Casey felt turning red. His dreams had changed since he hooked up with Zeke. They weren't as vanilla as before, sometimes even a bit kinky and rough. Zeke had taught him a lot, he hadn't even dared to think about before. But there were limits, right?
"We can't! It just ... fantasy, you know?"
"Aaaw! Hot, dark fantasies, eh? Let me help you out with one. Close your eyes and relax ...
Just you and me, Baby blue. You ... and me ... and the GTO. Somewhere outside. It's hot! Much too hot. You're sweating. You know, what I would love to do?"
Casey coughed. He was not sure, if he wanted to hear the answer.
"I would tear off your clothes and bend you over the hood. Maybe you would ask me to stop. But I wouldn't. I would pull up your legs and fuck you senseless, deep and rough. I would make you cry for more!"
"Zeke, please, stop it," Casey whimpered.
This was so hard to endure. He had leaned back onto his bed. His eyes were squeezed shut, his mouth felt dry. One hand was resting over his groin, ready to stroke his hardened shaft through the thick fabric of his denim. To tear it apart seemed to be a good idea.
"Just fantasy, Case," Zeke chuckled.
"Enjoy it! I'm not quite done yet. Because ... if you're nice, I would finally give you a good rimming!"
"A what?"
"I would clean you up. With my tongue, you know. Kissing, licking ... It's so fucking hot ... and I would love to do this. Because you have a gorgeous ass."
"Oh God!"
Casey felt dizzy. He had seen picture of it, guys doing things like this. Of course, it was a thrilling sight and it always caused exciting dreams ... but now it was so real. He could nearly feel it, Zeke's hot breath around his hole, his tongue, borrowed deep into his ass. He groaned loudly. His hand was searching for the zipper of his jeans. He needed to find relieve or he would burst right now, he was sure about it.
He stopped thunderstruck and tried to ease his breath.
"Dad," he finally managed to bring out.
"It's about time, Casey! Whatever you two have to talk about, it will have to wait till tomorrow!"
"Okay! Okay, Dad. Just one minute, okay? Please!"
"One minute, Casey! And I will come in and grab the phone!"
He heard his Dad going downstairs again and he finally let out the breath.
"Jesus fuck," he muttered.
And he heard Zeke's giggling on the other side of the phone.
"Bad timing, eh? So sorry!"
"Oh, you shut up! I hate you!"
"Aw, c'mon! You're just mad, because I know you would love it ... See you tomorrow, Baby blue. Sweet dreams!"

With the introduction of the Sierra version of the operating system on the Mac, there can be a problem with the downloaded RAAViewer app. This will be manifest by an error message on opening the application which will say that the RAAData file is in the wrong location. This has to do with how Sierra "isolates" the RAAViewer app. The work-around is to move the RAAView app out of the folder with the the RADData file and the RAA_Images folder (say put it on the Desktop). Then put it back in the folder. Now it will work as expected.I hope to come up with a more sophisticated answer to this problem when I have more time and more understanding of this "translocation" problem.
A free program, available for Macintosh and Windows, that allows viewing of labeled images of human anatomy. The labels are linked to a database that offers in-depth descriptions of the parts of anatomy. An image or series of images is stored in a folder and then accessed by the program. Many folders of images are included with the download and the user can access them using the program on their own personal computer. The download is large because it includes over 1500 labeled anatomic images.
You might want to first download or view the manual, which is relatively small, to get a better understanding of the program.
The program is bundled with several sets of images. These include illustrations of the human body published in Eycleshymer & Schoemaker's A Cross-Section Anatomy and photographs of axial slices from the Visible Human Project.
Slowly, over time, additional sets of images are being labeled and posted to this web site.
See the release notes for information on newer additions and consider downloading the latest version.
RAAViewer incorporates information from Terminologia Anatomica. If you are interested in this resource, independant of RAAViewer, you might want to check out this link, Terminologia Anatomica . Macintosh users with access to the application OmniOutliner, can download an outline version of Terminologie Anatomica here.

They're usually year-old titles or neutered editions built only to showcase the GPU's performance for a few hours. AMD thinks its Never Settle bundle might finally get us to notice. Buy any modern Radeon HD video card from the 7770 GHz Edition on up and you'll get a download code for at least one new game you'd genuinely want to try, ranging from Far Cry 3 on basic cards to a full three-game deal that supplies Far Cry 3, Hitman: Absolution and Sleeping Dogs to high rollers buying the 7900 series. There's likewise a discount for Medal of Honor: Warfighter and promises of bundles in 2013 for Bioshock Infinite and the reimagined Tomb Raider. As long as you're not dead set on springing for a GeForce board in the next few months, one of the qualifying cards might be worth a look to jumpstart your game collection.

FOR one horrid, ghastly moment in time Thomas Sorensen performed a limpness of wrist, in attempting to catch Fabio Rochemback's free-kick, not seen since Are You Being Served's John Inman was entertaining audiences on prime time TV.
It was so 'awful', not an Inman term but more Dick Emery, that you could but try to look on the comical side as Villa's spring revival threatened to become completely derailed.
Fortunately for the red-faced Dane his team-mates went on to win the game at an absolute canter, lifted by lifelong Villa fan Craig Gardner's first goal for the club and spurred on by the immediate impact of super-sub Luke Moore. Heck, even Stiliyan Petrov managed to get in on the act.
And as he collected his drinks bottle from inside his net after the final whistle you could almost hear Sorensen exclaim: "I'm Free!"
The result meant that Villa avoided registering an all-time low by scoring three league goals for the first time this season having done so in every season in at least one match in their history.
This Villa team are showing resilience and character in abundance. Finally, Martin O'Neill does not now need to reach for the tranquilisers after seeing them concede a goal.
You had to go back to the trip to St Mary's Stadium in April 2005- a 3-2 win after being 2-0 down inside the opening 13 minutes through old boys Kevin Phillips and Peter Crouch- to when Villa had last come from behind on an away ground to win.
Now they have now done so in successive away games and recorded back-to-back away wins for the first time since winning at Newcastle and that Southampton win two seasons ago.
In fact, 12 points have now been gleaned after Villa have fallen behind this season, second only to Arsenal.
They stretched their unbeaten run to five games and finally smashed through the 40 point barrier which looked a long, long way off with time running out against Everton before Gabriel Agbonlahor's equaliser.
The young striker was again at his menacing best at The Riverside and although he failed to make it four successive scoring games he did enjoy one of his finest displays of the season, and against one of the best markers in the business in Jonathan Woodgate.
It was actually Agbonlahor's strike partner Luke Moore who stole the glory with a goal within three minutes after entering the field of play- his first goal since against Charlton in September before he underwent shoulder surgery.
It took take his tally to four in two visits to Boro following his sensational hat-trick last February.
But Villa's fine win was as much built on the superb partnership at the back between Olof Mellberg and Martin Laursen which helped them recover from Sorensen's blooper.
The pair's games complement each other to a tee. Mellberg: quick and alert on the deck, Laursen, brave and dominant in the air.
Perhaps if he had played just a fraction more matches then Villa would not have been in the mess they have so consistently found themselves at the business end of seasons.
They have now moved into the top half of the table for the first time since that alarming November-March slide.
If only Villa could play at Boro every week then you'd back them to finish in the top four every time.
That's seven wins in twelve Premiership visits, with just three defeats. Villa have now scored seven goals in their last two visits, or 20 in the last eight including two 4-0 thrashings and a 5-2 massacre.
It all made chief executive Richard FitzGerland's fancy helicopter trip up north with a client all worthwhile.
There were no tears, tantrums of season-ticket flingings as at last season but Gareth Southhgate at least admitted that Boro were beaten in every department.
A poor first half sprang to life with Gardner's cooly taken goal after Agbonlahor had got away from a non-existent challenge from Huth.
Villa missed two early chances through Agbonlahor and Shaun Maloney and Maloney forced Mark Schwarzer into a save.
But after Sorensen tipped Stewart Downing's chip shot over by the crossbar his gaffe appeared to knock the stuffing out of Villa who could have fallen further behind when Adam Johnson missed two good chances.
Yakubu blazed wide when well positioned at the start of the second half but Moore's introduction sparked two late goals and Villa were coasted the last stages.
Ashley Young's free-kick was excellently nodded down by Laursen and Moore finished brilliantly from inside the box, then Petrov added to his goal at Sheffield United in December with a superbly taken strike after latching onto Barry's lay-off.
Petrov almost helped himself to a second late on, from another Barry pass, but Schwarzer saved at his near post.
MIDDLESBROUGH: Schwarzer, Xavier, Huth (Riggott 53), Woodgate, Taylor, Johnson (Cattermole 53), Boateng (Lee 76), Rochemback, Downing, Christie, Yakubu. Subs Not Used: Jones, Parnaby.

If you've having trouble selling a menu item, your best bet may be to put Doritos on it. The Texas Rangers just announced the latest snack to follow the much lauded boomstick. Totally ROSSome Nachos will boast tortilla chips covered in white queso, pico de gallo and a choice of shredded meat heaped into a pink plastic baseball helmet. The entire thing is topped with Nacho Cheese Doritos.
The nachos, which sound like they were branded by someone with a lisp, are actually named after relief pitcher Robbie Ross and follow the 2-foot-long 1-pound hot dog named after slugger Nelson Cruz. That hot dog generated a lot of press for the Rangers, but one shouldn't downplay the power of Doritos.
Earlier this summer, Taco Bell announced their Doritos Locos taco with a shell made from Doritos. The chain went on to sell 100 million dusty, neon-orange tacos marking the most successful menu item launch in the company's history. Doritos may be the silver bullet in casual food marketing.
Tomorrow night as the Rangers close out their series with the Boston Red Sox, Sportservice, the food company behind all these stadium creations will host a boomstick eating contest. I've seen grown men try and tackle the mammoth dog on their own, and I can attest, it's not a pretty sight. Five contestants including former Rangers pitcher Jeff Russel have signed up for the abuse. I'm secretly hoping the winner gets topped with Doritos.

If I dont have a 10th planet gym near me, how do I get promoted?

If I dont have a 10th planet gym near me, how do I get promoted?
Where are you located? The best way is to travel to seminars and to the nearest moon and start training in the system with someone. Almost everyone in the U.S. now has a moon in somewhat reasonable travel distance that lets them train at a moon even if it's only on a monthly basis.
If you are the same Tyler Holmes from TMA in Oklahoma that pops up in a google search and fought MMA earlier this year, you have a moon right in Altus, OK as well as some up in Missouri. So, they have you covered!
Gonna have to travel and develop a relationship with the nearest moon to you if you want to get ranked.
What is a moon? I'm from Miami where we don't have a 10 planet. also do you think you might have a 10th planet school in south Florida in the future?
I am with you man. I got to go up to 4-5 hours for the closet one for me. I have made many trip to 10patx. By the way love that place. I do my best to make it there 2 times a year. My closet would be 10P little elm Dallas. I have not made the trip there. To hell with driving in Dallas.
I support 10patx any time I hit a tournament with rash guard and shorts. I always on MTS and the warm ups.
Any advice is amazing on getting help in rank would be amazing.
I know the struggle. I live in Denmark, so there is quite a long travel distance to the nearest moon. If the distance is too far, then i guess you should not worry about belts, rather just focusing on learning; a rank does not make anyone better.
I don't live in TX I am from north west Arkansas I have friends in Pflugerville. I make the zombie Squad When I am there. Little elem has just open. Plan on making pilgrim to there soon. Right now I do Gracie gi. I need so much work on my rubber guards

When a whole-home remodel isn't feasible, sound interior design principles can achieve a similar effect with less work and less money. Even small projects like curtains can completely transform the look of a room. This article contains many helpful hints to inspire you to update your home.
Look at the furniture you have on your home and find a combination of colors and furniture that fits well together. You want to have furniture colors that compliment each other, as well as the colors around your home. Avoid picking colors that aren't related, because this can look like you don't know style.
Do not neglect your basement when you are planning an interior-design project. If you have a basement that is even only semi-finished, it can be transformed into a great space to entertain, play or relax. If you are ready to start designing your home and have a basement you should think about what you can do to make it a place that you can enjoy.
If you are designing a new kitchen in your house, it is beneficial to contact a professional contractor. Your ideas might involve electrical and plumbing work that is beyond your scope of expertise. By contacting a professional, they can help you to outline the exact project so it is done right and within budget.
If you are decorating a smaller room or space, try to incorporate mirrors into your design. Mirrors create the illusion of larger space, and add depth and beauty to the room's design as well. Interesting, unique frames can also enhance the decor of the space, turning a mirror into a work of art.
If you have small windows and would like to make them look bigger, hang drapery near the top of the ceiling to elongate your windows. By hanging the rods near the ceiling and having the drapes hang to the floor; it gives the window the effect that it is actually bigger than what it is.
If you have a backsplash in your kitchen that you really hate, consider painting it. Painting a backsplash is not a difficult task, and it can completely change the look of your kitchen. It is also a less-expensive option than removing and replacing the existing backsplash. You can even use a grout pen to paint in new grout lines when you are done.
Make sure you decorate your mantle correctly. The best way to achieve this is to ensure that objects on the mantle give a balanced look. If you mantle is not balanced, the room will not look right.
Rather than spending a fortune on re-designing your living room, try to rearrange your furniture. Not only is changing the furniture around cheaper, but it can improve the whole feel of the room. Just be sure to measure your sofa and other furniture before moving them around; this will prevent you from trying to fit your furniture into spots that they will not fit in.
You can take the look of your home in any direction that you desire. If you are careful about what lighting or furniture you buy you will make a big difference. Keep the advice from the above article in mind when designing your home to your liking.

Classical Apologetics
A Critique of "Classical Apologetics"
Classical Apologetics, by R. C. Sproul, John Gerstner, and Arthur Lindsley, Zondervan Publishing, Grand Rapids, Mich. 1984, 364 pp., $12.95 (paper). Reviewed by Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen, pastor, Covenant Community Church (OPC), Placentia, Calif. and Dean of the Newport Graduate School.
Intellectual respect for Biblically-defined Christian faith is not prevalent in this age. For that reason alone Reformed Christians should readily welcome any honest effort to clarify and strengthen our method of defending the faith, as this book aims to do. We need each other's help in more faithfully practicing the common task of defending the Word of our common Lord.
All three authors of this particular effort in apologetics are associated with the Ligonier Valley Study Center. They do not indicate who wrote which sections of the book. Each author advocates Reformed Christianity, and that perks our interest in their opinions on apologetical method. Since that issue is so tied to heavy questions in the theory of knowledge, however, it is also relevant that none of the authors has an advanced degree in philosophy (and only Gerstner has an earned doctorate at all - in church history).
The authors should be enthusiastically applauded for insisting that Christian faith is capable of a reasoned defense. They will not compromise an inch with the destructive idea that heartfelt faith is without intellectual reasons - or the idea that to be irrational is a religious virtue. They maintain that God commands believers to reason with unbelievers, not simply proclaim that they must make a groundless, subjective choice. This is a sorely needed emphasis today. We could not agree with it more. On their chosen method of reasoning in defense of Christianity, though, we must agree much less. We must find it, actually, contrary to good reasoning.
About half of the text of Classical Apologetics is given to promoting and practicing natural theology, and about half is given to opposing the presuppositional method as found specifically in Cornelius Van Til's apologetic. As the book's subtitle indicates, it purports to be "A Rational Defense of the Christian Faith and a Critique of Presuppositional Apologetics." In the end it succeeds at neither.
The book opens by identifying the object of its apologetical concern: namely, "The Crisis of Secularism" (chap. 1). The central axiom of secularism - and key challenge to Christianity in our day - is the view that "All possible knowledge is restricted to the temporal" (p. 7). The book's primary, self-defined task is, therefore, to refute that view. But it does nothing like that. In fact, the question is not even raised again in this form.
The authors rather try to deal with it by proving the existence of "God." But given secularism's axiom, this is futile. The only things we can know - and hence prove - are temporal in character. Accordingly, even if the authors prove the existence of some "first cause" (which we call "God"), it will necessarily be part of the temporal order of nature! In short, without analyzing and refuting the presupposition of secularism about what is knowable, the authors simply beg the question they set out to answer.
Beyond this, there is more than a little philosophical confusion in the authors' conception and method of proving God's existence. For instance, to evade the charge of naturalism and the idea that man has an unaided intrinsic ability to reach a knowledge of God, they hold that "natural theology" (the human activity of devising proofs for God's existence) is reflection "dependent upon divine revelation" (p. 25). But since a "divine revelation" already assumes the existence of God, the "natural theology" of our authors depends at the outset on what it is supposed to prove at its conclusion! The "natural man" using his "natural reason" - for whom the proofs of natural theology are intended - does not look upon the facts of nature as a "divine revelation" at all.
When the authors go on and try to demonstrate that the Bible itself endorses "natural theology," they are unable to do so, for all the evidence they adduce pertains rather to "natural revelation." The Psalmist and Paul say absolutely nothing about inferences and proofs devised by human reflection. Our authors seem not to be aware that they ambiguously switch back and forth between the two concepts of natural revelation and natural theology. (If space permitted, we might show how their portrayal of natural "theology" is conceptually unclear to begin with, especially the notion of inferential reflection upon evidences which is not a complex theoretical reasoning process: pp. 44, 46.)
A concept which has somewhere been lost by our authors is that of man's total depravity, including the noetic effects of sin. They tell us that rational apologetics as "pre-evangelism" can establish the cognitive clarification of Christianity and bring the natural man to an intellectual assent, but to take him beyond that to a personal trust in the heart, emotions, and will is solely the work of the Holy Spirit (pp. 21-22). Scripture teaches otherwise. The problem with fallen men is not simply in their will and emotions. They have just as much "become vain in their reasoning" like fools (Rom. 1:21-22). Will such "natural men" use their "natural reason" to receive the things of the Spirit? They cannot (1 Cor. 2:14). In terms of reasoning from nature to God, Paul said this about the natural man: "There is none that understands; there is none that seeks after God" (Rom. 3:11). The work of the Holy Spirit is just as much needed to bring intellectual assent as it is to produce emotional trust. By suggesting otherwise, our author's conception of apologetics is untrue to their Reformed theology.
Their book on apologetics is flawed by a number of philosophical lapses as well. When positions taken by philosophers are represented in the book, they are too often oversimplified, jumbled, or handled with little more than slogans (rather than analysis). Their discussion of the (allegedly) "non-negotiable" and "virtually universal" assumptions about logic, perception, and causality in the knowing process (pp. 77ff.) is painfully naive, interacting with none of the modern epistemological problems surrounding empiricism, induction, or the foundations of science and logic. For instance, the causal principle is "defended" against the stringent critique of Hume by replying that it is true by definition (p. 83)! (Instead of asking whether every "event" has a cause, they merely assure us that "every effect has a cause" is analytical.) This does not give the reader confidence in the book's philosophical discernment.
But for our purposes here, let us single out for examination our authors' cosmological proof of God's existence according to the "traditional" method of "natural theology." They reason: "if something exists now, something exists necessarily" - "something must have the power of being within itself" (pp. 115, 118). This line of thinking is logically fallacious. It does not follow at all from "X exists" that "It is necessarily true that X exists" (or that "X exists necessarily"). The reasoning is also unintelligible. Exactly what is "the power of being"?
We get closer to understanding what the authors are trying to argue when they claim anything that exists must have a "sufficient reason" (p. 115). The problem is that this interpretation of their cosmological argument contradicts an earlier statement of theirs: "we say not that everything has an antecedent cause but that every effect has an antecedent cause" (p. 111). After all, as we saw above, the causal principle is simply a definitional truth! The critical question, therefore, is whether anything that exists (or any event) is "an effect" or not! There is not force to an argument that "God" is the "first cause" (or "sufficient reason") for the world, unless one first proves that the world is an "effect."
Why shouldn't the unbeliever simply take the world as uncaused? After all, the "god" of the cosmological argument does not need an antecedent cause; why not simply say the same of the world itself. And even if the things or events in this world are all "effects" (how would one prove that?), why couldn't there be an infinite regress of purely naturalcauses? After all, our experience of causation is limited to the natural world, so how can we extrapolate beyond natural experience? The authors have no philosophically adequate answer and become a study in arbitrariness.
The authors claim that an uncaused molecule could not be contingent, but must exist necessarily and eternally (p. 119). But why? This is sheer prejudice, not argument. If a molecule appears randomly and without cause ("by chance"), there is nothing in such an event itself which demands that the molecule necessarily appear, or that the molecule never cease to exist.
On the other hand, if the molecule is thought of as part of an infinite series of contingent causes, our authors commit an elementary logical fallacy by concluding that the chain of causes itself must also be contingent - and thus in need of a cause: "nowhere is there to be found the power of being within the causal chain" (p. 120). However, logicians realize that a property of something's individual parts is not necessarily a property of the whole. For instance, imagine a 20-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty made out of plastic legos. The parts all have the property of weighing less than an ounce. If I argue that, therefore, the whole Statue must weigh less than an ounce, my reasoning would be readily dismissed as not worthy of serious attention. To argue that the parts of the world (the causal chain) are contingent, and therefore the world itself is contingent (in need of a causal explanation), deserves no better response.
In the last half of the book, our authors turn to a critique of the presuppositional apologetic, especially as advanced by Cornelius Van Til. Little of this discussion proves helpful or even relevant, however, because Van Til's presuppositionalism is so badly misrepresented. Let me illustrate. According to the authors, Van Til is a "fideist" and, as such, holds that God cannot be known through nature and theistic proof, but only by faith - a faith independent of all rational evidence (p. 27, 34, 35, 185). But Van Til himself has explicitly criticized "fideism" for asking people to believe in their hearts what they allow to be intellectually indefensible (Christian-Theistic Evidences, pl. 37). He has taught that "There is objective evidence in abundance.... If the theistic proof is constructed as it ought to be constructed, it is objectively valid, whatever the attitude of those to whom it come may be" (Common Grace, p. 49). He refuses to follow Kuyper's view of the uselessness of reasoning with the natural man (Defense of the Faith, 1st ed., p. 363). He has said "I do not reject the theistic proofs," "historical apologetics is absolutely necessary and indispensable," and "Christianity is the only reasonable position to hold" (Defense of the Faith, p. 256; Introduction to Systematic Theology, p. 146; Common Grace, p. 62).
Sproul, Gerstner, and Lindsley have simply not taken the time to understand correctly what they have chosen to criticize. They acknowledge that Van Til denies that his presuppositionalism is fideistic, but they claim to know better (p. 1840). Indeed, the last chapters of the book go to great lengths to explain away all of the clear evidence that can be found in the writings of Van Til, Frame, Notaro and Bahnsen which is contrary to their fideistic misrepresentation of presuppositionalism. I am reminded that on the morning in 1977 after I publicly debated Sproul on apologetical method, I read to him numerous quotations from Van Til in support of theistic proof, evidences, and rational argumentation with the unregenerate. He was shocked to hear that Van Til had written such things. I am shocked that, having heard, he continues to force the good professor into the mold of his preconceptions. This is unreasonable - making a presupposition ride roughshod over the evidence!
The authors are quite harsh about Van Til's presuppositionalism. "The implications of presuppositionalism, in our opinion, undermine the Christian religion implicitly" (p. 184). They end their book by ridiculing it: "The emperor of the Land of Presuppositionalism where Van Til, Frame, Clar, Henry, and others live, has no clothes. Van Til is embarrassed" (p. 338). In fact, it should be the authors of this uncharitable and false representation who should be embarrassed. Anyone can knock down a straw man.
For this reviewer, the authors have not begun to interact meaningfully with presuppositionalism. They do not seem to understand it any better than we found them to understand the philosophical issues in constructing a theistic proof according to traditional natural theology. In contrast to their weak effort, as well as in contrast to their misconstrual of Van Til, presuppositional apologetics sets forth the intellectual challenge to all unbelief that "unless [Christianity's] truth is presupposed there is no possibility of proving anything at all" (Jerusalem and Athens, p. 21). This is the furthest thing from fideism. It is actually very Pauline (1 Cor. 1:20).
We rejoice that Sproul, Gerstner, and Lindsley stand with us in worshiping the Triune God. Their effort to defend our common faith means well. But apologetics cannot be evaluated simply like an awkward Christmas gift received from a child. It is not simply "the thought that counts" here. The stakes are simply too high. College students cannot expect to respond to skeptical challenges with the kind of thinking found in this book and not suffer intellectual embarrassment. The argumentation is too easy to discredit, totally apart from personal antipathy to Christianity.
The authors admit that their traditional apologetic "is sick and ailing" (p. 12). Judging from the case made in this book, the diagnosis may be overly optimistic. We need not despair for a rational defense of the historic Christian faith, however, if we but listen to the epistemological and theological lessons of presuppositionalism.
Finally though, should you purchase a copy of this book? If your interest is the actual practice of defending the faith, you will be disappointed because reliable, logically sound guidance will not be found here. Even if our interest is the intramural, specialized study of apologetical methods, you can find more adequate examples of what this book attempts to do. And if you are interested in understanding or criticizing contemporary presuppositional apologetics, save your money for another day.

Sean Beeson (2011)
Rivendell / Lilu: Hello Sean, thanks again for letting Radio Rivendell interview you. Congratulations on the RR Award for Best Song by Independent Composer for your piece, "Scourge of Amon". I am sure a lot has happened since 2007 and it will be interesting to hear what you have been up to!
Besides composing video game soundtracks, including Disney's MMO Pixie Hollow, Big Fish Games' Hidden Expedition: Amazon, Assault Heroes 2 for the 360, and Planet Busters to name but a few, you have also written music for films which received great acclaim (Fused, Just One Thing, Emelia). Has this opened new opportunities for you, and would you like to do more with movie and TV soundtracks?
Sean Beeson: Since having worked on those titles I have actually moved more into scoring games. While I do enjoy scoring films and would jump at the chance to work on a TV series, I love working on games even more. With the advent of mobile gaming, meeting developers from around the globe has never been easier, and it has allowed me to expand my voice as a composer even more.
R: Which other projects have you been working on since we last spoke to you?
S: In the world of games I have been doing a lot of iDevice titles (such as Mecho Wars and Steampirates) as well as some other titles for the Wii, 360, PS3, and PSP that unfortunately haven't been announced yet.
Outside of game scores, I co-composed a Snare Drum Concerto with Adam Lochstampfor, Stefan Podell, and Brenton Dunnington (Prometheus Rapture: Seven Legends for Snare Drum) which is being played around the globe by Dame Evelyn Glennie and Jeff Queen. In addition to Prometheus Rapture I recently completed another concert work for marimba and piano with Podell and Dunnington that recently premiered in Japan at a few recitals.
I have a few other things in the works, but some of those projects are extending into late 2012 and even 2013 so it is probably a bit too early to talk about them yet! With game music, I can get a call and complete a score within a month. With concert music, they are planning events sometimes 18 months in advance, so it is a different world so to speak.
R: As a graduate from Capital University in 2007 with a Bachelor's of Music in Composition, I've read you now serve as an adjunct professor at the Conservatory of Music for your alma mater located in Columbus, Ohio. It must be rewarding teaching and inspiring young composers, more so when they can gain insight and advice from someone who is successful in the industry. Can you tell us a bit about this work?
S: Absolutely. I was hired back to teach electronic composition two years after I graduated and since that time have over one hundred students in my course. A lot of the students enrolled in the course aren't studying to become composers, but still take away valuable production techniques and strategies to approaching music production.
R: In your earlier interview for us you told us how you started playing piano and snare drum from an early age, but have since retired as a percussionist. Have you been working with any other instruments or new technology recently?
S: A breathe controller! It aides the composer in creating dynamic music, and allows me to be incredibly economical. I am then programming all of my software to react in a particular manner to my breathe controller. It in itself has become an instrument!
R: Your tracks pop up a lot on the RR player, and having had a listen to the songs on your website (http://seanbeeson.com/) they certainly grab the listener's attention. Is this something that is difficult to pull off or do you find it comes naturally to you?
S: I think a lot of it is simply a byproduct of me wanting to hear music that is catchy and entertaining. A lot of game music that I am hired to write can't be that direct, as it has to be functional in the game. However I always try to insert my 'voice' as a composer, that way regardless of how the music turns out, I still feel I have a part of myself invested in it.
R: You mentioned in your last interview you'd secretly love to write orchestral pieces for Dimmu Borgir. Hearing the bombastic style you have I can see how this would work! Have you been able to do any collaborations with any bands since 2007 or would you consider creating your own project in that genre?
S: I think what I love about hardcore/death metal music is the sense of intensity it brings. While I haven't worked with any bands, I feel that I have incorporated some of those elements into my music, either through driving beats, thumping bass, or riffing string lines!
R: I've read that you are interested in parapsychology and cryptozoology. Have you ever used these themes in your compositions?
S: Sometimes I like to think of mythical creatures and other unworldly things while I write music. It can put me in a state of mind that carries over into my writing. It usually ends up being ethereal, mysterious, and a bit paranoid haha
R: You've composed a track called Ar Pee Gee. Love what you did there! Are you into roleplaying games, and if so, which ones?
S: Haha. That track is actually comprised of themes I wrote from a REALLY old piece that was inspired by a campaign I made up for DnD. Where I lived growing up, no one really was into roleplaying games, so even though I owned all of the DM DnD Books (which I read all the time) I couldn't ever find anyone to play with me. So instead I just created worlds and characters for my own enjoyment.
R: You are the creator of the commercially successful libraries TAIKO and Action Drums: Taiko Edition, both published by Nine-Volt Audio available for purchase worldwide. Were these a challenge to put together, and what inspired you to produce them originally?
S: I was originally inspired to create these libraries from playing the game Red Steel for the Nintendo Wii. Recording them wasn't incredibly difficult. However editing the samples (which I did by hand) took about 8 months of on and off work. I could do the same thing now in an afternoon. If only I knew then, what I know now!
R: And now it's time for the obligatory silly question. I apologise in advance for this! There's a certain processed meat product that gets a lot of debate on the Radio Rivendell forums. Are you a fan of Spam?
No question is silly :-P Spam, email spam? Or Spam, ham in a can spam? I dislike the former, and love the latter, especially when it is fried in a pan so that the outsides of it caramelize!
R: Finally, if you could be a character in any fantasy or science fiction setting, what would you be, and why?
S: Alice from Alice in Wonderland, hands down! Not so much as to be Alice, but just to experience what she experienced!

BY FAR, my favorite composer on RR. If I am listening while working and a piece really captures my attention to where I have to stop what I'm doing to check who the composer is, almost invariably it is Beeson. A rare talent who always seems to capture that "spot" in me with his music.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay tells Channel 4 News that she is "deeply disturbed" by the shooting of a Sri Lankan journalist and calls on the Sri Lankan government to protect him.
Ms Pillay said "I'm deeply disturbed by this particular shooting because it's a journalist and he's attached to a newspaper that's known to be critical of the government – particularly on accountability and in justice issues – which are issues that I cover. And I will be reporting to the Human Rights Council my concern over extra judicial killings, abductions and this kind of treatment and suppression of freedom of expression."
Ms Pillay said: "It's an act of attempted assassination so he needs to be protected immediately."
Mr Shauketaly, 52, holds joint British and Sri Lankan citizenship
However, when asked about suggestions that the government could have been involved in the shooting, Ms Pillay told Channel 4 News: "That's why there has to be a proper investigation before we can conclude that. In the meantime it's law enforcement that has to provide him protection. And it would demonstrate on the part of the government that they care if one of their citizens is fired upon. Everybody should care (about) who are the people who are going around shooting other people. This is what law enforcement is about.
"The Sri Lankan government swears by the integrity of their army and their police, well it's time they demonstrated that. These institutions built into the democracy must now begin to work properly and this is an immediate instance where they can demonstrate that. "
She said Sri Lanka must provide a credible investigation involving the civil society, because "if it is done by the government or the police themselves they do not enjoy the confidence of the people at this stage."
Ms Pillay praised Channel 4's investigative report, Sri Lanka's Killing Fields, on the last few weeks of the Sri Lankan civil war, broadcast in 2011.
She said: "Let me say how much Channel 4's information is appreciated because you have brought this to the fore. I myself mandated by the Human Rights Council have been filing reports on the human rights situation in Sri Lanka – we will be reviewing that again in March, but I have consistently called for a credible international investigation particularly of the occurrences in the last few days of the conflict."
She added that she was frustrated by the Sri Lankan government's lack of investigation, with offers of UN help, to establish what happened at the end of the country's civil conflict.
But Ms Pillay insists: "We want to provide them with expert investigative assistance, we are ready to provide this kind of assistance and I'm really disappointed it has not been taken up."
She added: "It's particularly bad because this was government forces firing on civilians indiscriminately – they were shelled and the normal responsibility of governments is to protect people – not to kill them."
Replying to criticism levelled at the UN which was in Sri Lanka at the time of the alleged atrocities and whose people were withdrawn.
She said: "I think that is deeply disturbing because it's a repetition of the criticism that was levelled against the United Nations during the Rwandan genocide and there was a report done after that with recommendations.
"Now, to the credit of the secretary general he set up the Petrie Commission to look at the UN's failures in handling the Sri Lankan conflict and I very much encouraged that, I've read the report and I'm urging now the United Nations to take steps to come up with action plans to implement those recommendations so that the United Nations doesn't repeat these kind of failures."
Presidential Spokesman Mohan Samaranayake said yesterday that President Mahinda Rajapaksa ordered the IGP to launch an immediate investigation into the shooting of Sunday Leader journalist Faraz Shauketaly.

In the field of product safety, the safety data sheet (SDS) is the main communication tool along the supply chain. It should inform your customers in a clear and easily readable manner on major security issues, as well as on possible risks to human health and the environment when dealing with your products.
The formal requirements for the SDS are set by Article 31 and Annex II of the REACH-Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 and its amendments (e.g. Regulation (EU) 453/2010). The change of Annex II of the REACH-Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 in 2010 resulted not only in a format adaptation of the SDS but also led to additional contents that are required to indicate in the SDS. For example, for all new SDS much more detailed information in sections "11-Toxicological information" and "12-Ecological information" is demanded now.
After the registration of a substance and allocation of the registration number by ECHA, a manufacturer is obliged to provide an extended SDS (eSDS) for hazardous substances (≥10 t/a) to downstream users.
An eSDS consists of a REACH-compliant SDS with 16 sections and is extended by an annex in which the so-called exposure scenarios (ES), including identified uses, must be enclosed. Where a chemical safety report is required in accordance to Article 14 or 37, the ES as listed in the Annex of the eSDS must correspond to the information regarding the identified uses, the risk demonstrating ES in the CSR and the information provided in section 8 of the SDS.
According to the CLP-Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 companies are required to classify, label and package hazardous chemicals before placing them on the market. The classification and labeling of hazardous chemicals is based on the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) which is an agreement between the member states of the United Nations. The implementation of the CLP-Regulation for substances (since December 1st, 2010) and mixtures (since June 1st, 2015) as well as the new content and formats for SDS resulted in significantly increased demands in the field of product safety and represents a major challenge for the chemical industry as well as for each member of the supply chain for chemicals (downstream users).
With many years of experience in the field of product safety, particularly in SDS-authoring in various EHS systems (e.g. SAP, IHS) Dr. Knoell Consult GmbH supports you in creating your SDS directly in your own EHS system and helps you with questions concerning eSDS.
Do you export to China, Spain, Russia or the USA? We are happy to author the corresponding SDS for your products in our EHS-system meeting the requirements of your target markets (globally!). Using regularly monitored and updated regulatory content and lists (e.g. inventories, national occupational exposure limits) of one of the market leaders in EHS software, we support you in meeting all requirements for your SDS - worldwide!

Blue-Green Algae Update for Geist Reservoir
Blue-green algae levels in Geist Reservoir triggered "High Health Risk" alerts in May this year following the seasonal warm up. The health alert is now ongoing and will likely remain in effect until late fall.
This information comes to us from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Their assessment is based on the World Health Organization's guidelines for safe recreational water which state that the presence of blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, at levels greater than 100,000 cells/ml pose a high health risk.
What is a "High Health Risk for Recreational Waters?"
According to the Indiana State Department of Health, exposure to blue-green algae during recreational activities such as swimming, wading, and water skiing can lead to rashes, skin and eye irritation, and other uncomfortable effects such as nausea, stomach aches, and tingling in fingers and toes.
"We recommend people use caution when swimming, skiing, or participating in other recreational water activities," said Jennifer House, DVM, veterinary epidemiologist at the Indiana State Department of Health. "Avoid coming into direct contact with the algae and try to avoid swallowing water if at all possible. It is always a good idea to take a bath or shower with warm, soapy water after coming in contact with untreated water in ponds and lakes, especially before preparing or consuming food. Pets should not be allowed to swim in or drink untreated water from these sources."
Drinking Water is Safe
Geist Reservoir was designed with a holding capacity of about 7 billion gallons to help supply Central Indiana with drinking water. According to Lou Ann Baker, Vice President of Communications and Community Affairs at Veolia Water Indianapolis, "Standard drinking water treatment effectively removes algae and its byproducts from your drinking water. While some customers can detect taste differences caused by higher levels of taste and odor compounds produced by the algae, the water still meets all state and federal water quality standards and is safe to drink."
What is Causing the Algae Blooms?
A major limiting factor for algae blooms is available nutrients – especially phosphorus. Agricultural and urban fertilizer runoff are major contributors of phosphorus as are pet waste, leaves and grass clippings. All have high amounts of nutrients that move into waterways and the reservoir following rain events.
What Can We Do?
If you fertilize your lawn, use a phosphorus free product. True Green has been P-free for the last few seasons. Scott's offers P-free options and its entire Turf Builder line will be P-free by 2012. Many other suppliers now offer P-free options. Please make sure you are using the right product. The middle number on the bag should be a "0".
Make sure that grass clippings are composted back into your lawn and not thrown onto sidewalks, streets, or the reservoir. The phosphorus in the lawn clippings gets returned to the lawn where it is recycled. Clean up after your pet and dispose of waste properly.
Homeowners may also want to adopt landscape practices that lessen the impact to our water supply. These practices are encouraged by our county's soil and water conservation district and include rain gardens, barrier plantings at water's edge, and landscaping with native plants. Lawn roots are about two inches deep. Native Black Eyed Susans, by comparison, root up to eight feet deep and are much more effective in controlling erosion and slowing runoff.
At a regional level, the Upper White River Watershed Alliance, which includes watersheds draining into Eagle Creek, Morse, and Geist Reservoirs, is finalizing a series of watershed management plans. A watershed management plan describes sources of water quality problems and identifies corrective and preventative actions for residential, agricultural, governmental and commercial stakeholders in the area.
Statewide, Indiana recently banned phosphorus in our dishwasher detergents. This will reduce the phosphorus load in our waters by up to 3% according to Dr. Bill Jones of Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs. In 1974, Indiana became the first state in the union to phase out phosphorus from laundry detergent.
While a reduction in nutrient load is necessary, it will not produce an immediate fix. According to Dr. Lenore Tedesco of IUPUI, "Geist reservoir has very high levels of phosphorus in the waters. Our research shows that phosphorus levels tend to increase throughout the summer indicating that there are continual additions to the reservoir that are likely sourced from residential lawns and gardens. There is an important role for homeowners both living on the reservoir and in the neighborhoods surrounding the reservoir. Reducing and/or eliminating fertilizers, managing yard waste and cleaning up after pets are all important steps.
For information about how your lawn is connected to our water supply, check out www.clearchoicescleanwater.org, a collaboration between Upper White River Watershed Alliance, IUPUI, and some additional watershed groups. While you're there, take the phosphorus free pledge. Team Geist is in 7th place.
Please see our website, www.geistwatershed.com for additional information including links to local demonstration properties that feature watershed friendly landscape practices.

I was only just past a year old when he piloted the Eagle to Tranquility Base and touched down, but I've been fascinated by space forever, and the images beamed back from that first step (and Walter Cronkite's reaction!) are ingrained on my brain as if I watched it live myself. A true hero, remarkable not just for what he achieved, but for how he handled himself through the years after taking that one small step. We should all be so fortunate to have that kind of character.

Like anything else, if you like doing something it can be a good vocation no matter what the pay. If you don't like your job it doesn't matter how much you get paid, you still hate your job. While modern aquaculture and aquaponics can be very lucrative, most people do not do it completely for the money. They do it because they enjoy it and it also provides income. Growing fish is going to require more manual labor and probably more hours than being a software developer for a company for example.
However, the stress could be far less. Many people involved in the farming do it as a side line. It is what I call, a "Profitable hobby". I have many clients who started off doing fish farming and aquaponics as a side job and have progressed to the point that they have quit their original job and are now full time farmers. I have a few people who started growing fish and vegetables and quickly got out of it deciding it was not for them.
So, having said all of that, becoming a fish farmer is an individual preference. Many people who thrive in this business on a small scale take a Thoreau approach to life in that they are at peace with themselves as they grow the crops and sell them to others making new friends each day. Then of course, as a designer of commercial systems, I have many clients who are only interested in making big bucks and to heck with making friends. So you have to decide what it is you are seeking. It is not a rocket science business that is difficult to master. With good guidance almost anyone can learn it quickly. With our DIY systems you can begin small and inexpensively and grow from there. If you decide it is not for you, then it was just another of life's educational experiences but you didn't go broke finding that out.
I grew up on a dairy farm and have been involved with fish farming for longer than most people reading this have been alive. My experience in agriculture is extensive. As far as I am concerned, aquaponics has to be the best thing that has ever been developed for the production of healthy foods for humans. As we strive to come up with more environmentally friendly ways to feed our growing populations, the marriage of fish farming and vegetable growing is unequaled by any other methods. Every industry has its critics, however, in all of my research, I have never seen one legitimate concern with this practice with the exception of perhaps which is the best method to use.
Depending on the ratio of fish grown to plants grown, every drop of water and energy placed in these systems can be used over and over again until it is just plain used up. But as is the case with all farming you must invest the time to attend your crops, harvest them and get them to market. So it does take time and energy. However, aquaponics can be the most profitable side of small scale fish farming. If you love gardening this can be the perfect way to earn income from your passion. Once again, it is not rocket science and it does not take degrees in horticulture to do it. It is basically back yard gardening with a twist.
The great thing about aquaponics is, if that is your main interest, you do not have to grow a lot of fish to produce tons of vegetables. For every pound of fish you produce you can grow up to 15 pounds of various vegetables. All organic. So a person with a small fish system like our DIY S-12 could operate just 2 of these tanks and produce enough vegetables products to make a good living.With the price of vegetables and other foods going up at the market place everyday, there is more profit for a small vegetable farmer than there has ever been before. He is selling locally and does not have the overhead and transportation cost that the big industrial producers have.The opportunity is before you and potential for profits is good. Whether this is the right business for you depends on your willingness to make a commitment and work hard to become an independent and successful farmer.In closing, please notice, no where in this do I claim that fish farming and aquaponics is a way to get rich quick. No matter what, you are going to have to work hard at it. However when you consider the amount of food that is consumed right in your area every single day, and someone has to supply that food, every single day, the sky is the limit on what you can achieve.

Elham Asaad Buaras
Two men were arrested and bailed until April 29 after a severed pig's head was cable-tied to the gates of a Portsmouth Muslim school.
A Nazi swastika had been drawn on the head, which was left at the gates of the Madani Academy on January 21. An offensive term had been written about Allah on it. Shocked parents and staff discovered the head after arriving at 8.30am.
Madani Academy's Head Teacher, Muhammad Luthfur Rahman, told The Muslim News, "We tried not to expose the incident to our pupils."
But he said it was not the first time the school has been targeted by Islamophobes. "We have experienced similar attack twice over the past three years; once on an occasion where a pig's head was stuck on the gate and another incident where a bucket of pig's blood was poured over the entrance door," he said.
He thanked "local MPs, politicians, city council, Hampshire constabulary and people of Portsmouth for their support towards us."
In a statement to The Muslim News a Hampshire police spokesman confirmed that, "A 22-year-old-man and a 24-year-old man, both from Portsmouth, were arrested on suspicion of racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment/alarm/distress-words/writing."
