Stat: Of all infertile women, an estimated 15 percent are infertile because of PID.
What is it exactly? "Pelvic inflammatory disease" is shorthand for any serious, non-specific bacterial infection of the reproductive organs that are housed in the pelvis: the uterus, uterine lining, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries. These infections usually start in the vagina and, when left untreated, can progressively infect other reproductive organs. 20% of PID cases are found in teens, who often are afraid or unable to get reproductive health care. PID can result in permanent infertility and chronic pain.
About how many people have it? About one million cases of PID are reported in the United States annually.
How is it spread? In most cases, other sexually transmitted diseases and infections such as gonorrhea and chlamydia are at the root of PID, especially when they are left untreated. Some cases of PID are due to infections with more than one type of bacteria.
What are its symptoms?
• painful periods that may last longer than previous cycles
• unusual vaginal discharge
• spotting or cramping between periods
• pain or cramping curing urination, or blood in the urine
• lower back or abdominal pain
• nausea or vomiting
• pain during vaginal intercourse
How is it diagnosed? PID is often difficult to diagnose, and it is widely thought that millions of cases each year go undiagnosed. To diagnose PID, you will need a pelvic exam which includes a Pap smear, and a possible laparoscopy (a diagnostic microsurgical procedure that can usually be done in an office visit) in order for your doctor or clinician to take a close look at your reproductive system. It is also imperative that you tell your doctor or clinician if you have been sexually active with a partner and what your sexual history has been.
Is it treatable? In some cases, antibiotics, bed rest, and sexual celibacy are prescribed. In other cases, surgery may be required, including the possible removal of some reproductive organs.
Is it curable? In some cases, but it can recur even once treated if the person becomes reinfected.
Can it effect fertility? PID can lead to permanent sterility or ectopic pregnancy.
Can it cause death? Almost any bacterial infection, if it becomes serious enough or affects enough of the body's systems, can potentially cause severe injury or death.
How can we protect against it? Using condoms during vaginal intercourse offers a very high level of protection from PID.
Annual STD screenings also reduce the risk by finding other STDs or STIs and treating them before they can progress to cause PID. Because PID is caused by other untreated infection, it is one of many reasons why it is so important for women to get gynecological exams and full STI screenings at least once every year, without fail. | <urn:uuid:5cbad007-e8b7-40fb-b7c8-1c444f66cdcc> | 2013-05-21T10:08:27Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29, 2008 -- Facial expressions of emotion are hardwired into our genes, according to a study published today in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The research suggests that facial expressions of emotion are innate rather than a product of cultural learning. The study is the first of its kind to demonstrate that sighted and blind individuals use the same facial expressions, producing the same facial muscle movements in response to specific emotional stimuli.
The study also provides new insight into how humans manage emotional displays according to social context, suggesting that the ability to regulate emotional expressions is not learned through observation.
San Francisco State University Psychology Professor David Matsumoto compared the facial expressions of sighted and blind judo athletes at the 2004 Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games. More than 4,800 photographs were captured and analyzed, including images of athletes from 23 countries.
"The statistical correlation between the facial expressions of sighted and blind individuals was almost perfect," Matsumoto said. "This suggests something genetically resident within us is the source of facial expressions of emotion."
Matsumoto found that sighted and blind individuals manage their expressions of emotion in the same way according to social context. For example, because of the social nature of the Olympic medal ceremonies, 85 percent of silver medalists who lost their medal matches produced "social smiles" during the ceremony. Social smiles use only the mouth muscles whereas true smiles, known as Duchenne smiles, cause the eyes to twinkle and narrow and the cheeks to rise.
"Losers pushed their lower lip up as if to control the emotion on their face and many produced social smiles," Matsumoto said. "Individuals blind from birth could not have learned to control their emotions in this way through visual learning so there must be another mechanism. It could be that our emotions, and the systems to regulate them, are vestiges of our evolutionary ancestry. It's possible that in response to negative emotions, humans have developed a system that closes the mouth so that they are prevented from yelling, biting or throwing insults." | <urn:uuid:359737ab-ec67-44a6-aa93-2ab3520a58e9> | 2013-05-21T10:35:20Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

OurDocuments.gov. Featuring 100 milestone documents of American history from the National Archives. Includes images of original primary source documents, lesson plans, teacher and student competitions, and educational resources.
In 1866 the Russian government offered to sell the territory of Alaska to the United States. Secretary of State William H. Seward, enthusiastic about the prospects of American Expansion, negotiated the deal for the Americans. Edouard de Stoeckl, Russian minister to the United States, negotiated for the Russians. On March 30, 1867, the two parties agreed that the United States would pay Russia $7.2 million for the territory of Alaska.
For less that 2 cents an acre, the United States acquired nearly 600,000 square miles. Opponents of the Alaska Purchase persisted in calling it “Seward’s Folly” or “Seward’s Icebox” until 1896, when the great Klondike Gold Strike convinced even the harshest critics that Alaska was a valuable addition to American territory.
The check for $7.2 million was made payable to the Russian Minister to the United States Edouard de Stoeckl, who negotiated the deal for the Russians. Also shown here is the Treaty of Cession, signed by Tzar Alexander II, which formally concluded the agreement for the purchase of Alaska from Russia. | <urn:uuid:8182aa95-78e2-42b3-a86d-30bb1a0fa8f8> | 2013-05-21T10:21:24Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

There are an enormous number of texture analysis methodsunder this category although none predominates. Methods thatwe used for classification will describe here.V.G
This method was first proposed by Haralick in 1973 andstill is one of the most popular means of texture analysis .The key concept of this method is generating features based ongray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM). The matrices aredesigned to measure the spatial relationships betweenpixels.The method is based on the belief that texture information iscontained in such relationships.Co-occurrence features are obtained from a gray-level co-occurrence matrix. We used 22 features that extracted fromGLCM matrix in our paper [8,4,1].VI.T
EXTURAL FEATURES EXTRACTED FROM GRAY
Our initial assumption in characterizing image texture isthat all the texture information is contained in the gray-levelCo-occurrence matrices. Hence all the textural features hereare extracted from these gray-level Co-occurrence matrices.The equations which define a set of 22measures of texturalfeatures are given in this paper. Some GLCM Extractedtextural features are illustrated in Table 1 for two different leaf images.
Table 1. GLCM Extracted textural features for two different leaf images.
EAF CLASSIFICATION USING
PCAIn this study, wehave followed the method which was proposed by M. Turk and A. Pentland inorder to develop aleaves classification system based on the eigenspace approach.They argued that, if a multitude of leaf images can bereconstructed by weighted sum of a small collection of characteristic features or eigenpictures, perhaps an efficient wayto learn and recognize leaves would be to build up thecharacteristic features by experience over time and recognize particular leaf by comparing the feature weights needed toapproximately reconstruct them with the weights associated withknown leaves. Therefore, each leaf is characterized by a small setof feature or eigenpicture weights needed to describe andreconstruct them. This is an extremely compact representationwhen compared with the images themselves.VIII.E
XPERIMENTAL RESULTS AND DISCUSSINONS
The experiment is designed to illustrate the performanceof two feature extraction methods, GLCM and PCAalgorithms for plant leaves classification purpose.The GLCM is a tabulation of how often differentcombinations of pixel brightness values (grey levels) occur inan image. The classification steps are illustrated in Figure 2.In the first experiment after changing the color image to gray-level image with using of the GLCM texture feature extractionweextracted the 22features [8,4,1] of each leaf images.

You are an associate attorney in a four man law firm. There are two partners and two associates. The firm has offices in two cities. You have been appointed to serve as vice-Chair of the county board of mental illness. In that capacity, your responsibilities include, reviewing petitions asserting the need for immediate intervention of a mentally ill person, determining if the petition is sufficient and, if so, executing an order for examination, emergency warrant for detention, and an emergency order for detention of allegedly mental ill persons.
Based upon these facts you have asked this Committee two questions:
1. Whether or not it is a conflict of interest or, otherwise, you would be in violation of the South Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct, if in your capacity of vice-Chair of the mental health board, you order examinations, execute an emergency warrant for detention, or an emergency order for detention, or otherwise serve in your capacity as vice-Chair, wherein the alleged mentally ill person is either a current client of the firm in an unrelated matter or a past client of the firm.
2. If you recuse yourself from participation as a board member/vice-Chair for a particular individual, can another member of the firm represent the allegedly mentally ill person before the board.
In response to question no. 1, it is the opinion of this Committee that there would be a conflict of interest if you, in your capacity as vice-Chair of the mental health board, were to serve in your capacity as vice-Chair in cases where the alleged mentally ill person is a current client of the firm. This Committee also believes that a conflict of interest may exist with respect to past clients of the firm depending on the circumstances of the past representation. See, Rule 1.9. The question of conflicts with a past client will have to be resolved on a case by case basis.
In response to question no. 2, it is the opinion of this Committee that under Rule 1.7 and Rule 1.10 another member of your firm could continue to represent the allegedly mentally ill person if you were to recuse yourself from participation as a board member/vice-Chair only if consent of the client after consultation was obtained. Given the fact, however, that you are dealing with an allegedly mentally ill person, the validity of the consent obtained is questionable and this Committee feels that your firm should not continue to represent the allegedly mentally ill person.

The proposed circuit breakers will not eliminate abberant trades unless they prevent a trade from being executed outside of the 5 minute allowable parpameters. The recent market event was characterized by large gap trades, many of which, this system would not avoid.
Activating the circuit breaker AFTER the parameters have been breached is not the way to go. You must be able to block an execution at a price change that you were trying to avoid. | <urn:uuid:5850bc72-793c-4fcc-b734-0519b7c9fa1a> | 2013-05-21T10:14:59Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Thrust flew high above the town. He enjoyed watching the others attack the bipeds, and he wanted to make sure that no one was moutning a well structured counter attack. Once he thought the coast was clear he decided to descend. This was no normal descent however.
As Thrust descended he turned his after burners up as high as they would go and revved his engines to the red line. As he quickly approached the ground in a straight l;ine he left a vapor trail so thick it looked like an asteroid falling to Earth. Moments before Thrust would've crashed into the ground, he pulled up and flew in a perfect straight line through the main street of Falin, Alaska; literally barely four feet from the street. As he rocketed past at Mach 2, the buildings stood. Only a second or two later, when the sonic boom finally kicked in, the buildings collapsed upon themselves, crushing anyone in them to a horrid death. Thrust admired his handiwork.
He called out to any other 'cons in the area: "That is how it is done gentlemen! All that glorious death and destruction...not even a shot a fired! It's all about finese!"
Thrust looked over to see Skywarp responding to Astrotrain's request to be loaded. He figured he might as well help too. He flew on down, landed and began getting to work.
"Don't worry Train... with me here, this will be done in a micro-moment!"
Thurst began working, faster than Skywarp, as Thrust didn't expend any energy on weapons devestating the town, he had plenty to spare for remedial tasks. As he worked he realized he hadn't heard anything from Blitzwing in a while, he started spinning one of his VTOL engines as he called out to Blitzwing:
"Hey Blitz! why don't you throw, or better yet fire, one of those flesh creatures into my engines! I better it will make a wonderful noise...not to mention create a mess!"
Thrust wanted to play both sides against one another...Help Skywarp do the remedial work, out of a sign of respect, and keep 'Warp happy. But also keep Blitzwing entertained. If Blitzwing is happy and distracted with destruction, he won't bother Thrust. Thrust also wanted to see if Blitzwing would remember Skywarp's hatred of humans...having a human thrown into Thrust's engines would surely splatter fluids onto Skywarp. Skywarp would be happy he got help loading Astro train, Blitzwing would be entertained by the splatter, and even more so to Skywarp's reaction. If Thrust wanted to advance himself in the heirarchy, he would have to keep everyone mad at each other...except for mad at Thrust... | <urn:uuid:442aab81-ae2c-4248-a856-a4df92824aa3> | 2013-05-21T10:15:03Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

1 The Purity of the Camp
1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has an infectious skin disease[a] or a discharge of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean because of a dead body. 3 Send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them." 4 The Israelites did this; they sent them outside the camp. They did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
5 Restitution for Wrongs
5 The Lord said to Moses, 6 "Say to the Israelites: 'When a man or woman wrongs another in any way[b] and so is unfaithful to the Lord, that person is guilty 7 and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution for his wrong, add one fifth to it and give it all to the person he has wronged. 8 But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest, along with the ram with which atonement is made for him. 9 All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him. 10 Each man's sacred gifts are his own, but what he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.' "
11 The Test for an Unfaithful Wife
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'If a man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 by sleeping with another man, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[c] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to draw attention to guilt.
16 " 'The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, "If no other man has slept with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have defiled yourself by sleeping with a man other than your husband"— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse of the oath—"may the Lord cause your people to curse and denounce you when he causes your thigh to waste away and your abdomen to swell.[d] 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells and your thigh wastes away.[e] "
22 " 'Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."
23 " 'The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water will enter her and cause bitter suffering. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then when she is made to drink the water that brings a curse, it will go into her and cause bitter suffering; her abdomen will swell and her thigh waste away,[f] and she will become accursed among her people. 28 If, however, the woman has not defiled herself and is free from impurity, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
29 " 'This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and defiles herself while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.'

National Park Service investigators are seeking to identify and question an individual who a local couple said meets the description of a man suspected of assaulting a woman in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The incident took place June 8 when a 44-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and stabbed on the Gatlinburg Trail. Officials since released a sketch of the suspect.
The couple said they saw the man on the Gatlinburg Trail a week ago, Wednesday, and again last Friday, near the time of the attack. Both his physical appearance and dress match that of the suspect.
During contact with the couple, the unknown man made statements suggesting that he is a roofer. The man is thought to drive a full-size, dark blue or black, standard-cab pickup truck. Chief Ranger Clay Jordan emphasizes, however, it is not known whether this individual is actually the assailant or whether he truthfully identified his occupation.... read the rest of the story by Subscribing now. | <urn:uuid:f60e57bd-a1c7-4a46-b45f-5fc9667c61fd> | 2013-05-21T10:06:39Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

San Francisco's Divas of the Past
by Thomas Sponsler
Today's headlines-making pop stars have nothing on their predecessors. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, colorful entertainers graced the stages of San Francisco:
Lola Montez, who could have served as the inspiration for the song from Damn Yankees, "Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets," was famous for performing her Spider Dance, a provocative performance based on the notion that spiders were crawling on her body under her clothing. As she twirled and writhed around the stage, rubber spiders came flying out.
Born Marie Dolores Eliza Rosanna Gilbert in Ireland, Lola married and separated at a young age and became a noted courtesan, mistress to Franz Liszt and Ludwig I of Bavaria. Eventually she entered show business, performed in San Francisco, and lived for awhile in Grass Valley, California. Strong spirited, she once chased a hostile critic around with a whip.
Lilly Langtry, famous as the love object of Judge Roy Bean, "the law west of the Pecos" – although the two never met – also started out as a courtesan, the mistress of the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII. After breaking up with the Prince, Lilly took to the stage. She performed in San Francisco to large crowds who were less impressed by her theatrical skills than her scandalous past. She bought land in Lake County and for several years produced red wine and raised horses.
Isadora Duncan, a local girl, started out giving dancing lessons and became world famous as the mother of modern dance. An atheist, communist, and bisexual, she typified the bohemianism of her time. She died tragically while riding in an open car when her long trailing scarf became entangled in the rear wheel, breaking her neck. This prompted Gertrude Stein to observe, "Affectations can be dangerous."
Less scandalous stars shone here as well. "The Divine Sarah" Bernhardt performed in San Francisco and loved the city. At the time of the 1906 earthquake, she was performing in Chicago and raised money there to help the survivors. Two weeks after the earthquake she came to San Francisco and gave a free performance at the Greek Theater in Berkeley.
Luisa Tetrazzini, thought to be the subject of the saying, "It's not over until the fat lady sings," was a gifted and internationally popular opera star who performed in San Francisco. Her most famous performance here was a free concert on Christmas Eve Day, 1910, at Lotta's Fountain on Market Street at Kearny.
Locked in a contract dispute and threatened with an injunction against singing in any theater, she sang for free on the street to a crowd of two to three hundred thousand. A local chef named a
dish (turkey, chicken, or seafood Tetrazzini) after her.
Finally, the beloved Lotta Crabtree: As a child she performed to the homesick gold prospectors at the mining camps, sometimes making up to $400 a night in gold nuggets. The Shirley Temple of her time, she went on to great success in the East and became one of America's most beloved stage performers. She donated the money for Lotta's Fountain, built in 1875, which served as a meeting place for survivors of the 1906 earthquake at the time and at every anniversary since. Coincidentally, Lotta first learned to sing and dance when she was given lessons by her neighbor, Lola Montez, in her hometown of Grass Valley.

My daughter, Anubhooti, was raised in New Delhi till the age of 14 at which point we moved to Calgary, AB. As a result, she has a healthy balance of both Indian and Canadian values and culture instilled in her.
She was brought up in a cosmopolitan and liberal environment where her decisions were respected. She is an independent, ambitious and career oriented by nature. Currently, she works for Exxon Mobil as a process engineer and will continue to pursue her career aspirations after marriage.
She has both a confident and warm personality as well as a good sense of humor. She keeps her environment at work and at home organized and sets goals/plan to follow for the near future and long term.
In her free time, she likes to read, travel, watch movies and socialize with family and friends. She is an avid cook and can be found in the kitchen whipping up meals for herself and her friends during her down time. She enjoys experiencing new things and is always up for an adventure. She has tried skiing, surfing and fishing just in the last year to give you some examples.
In a partner she is looking for an equal; a spouse who is career oriented, ambitious, loving and warm, open minded, laid back and in possession of a good sense of humor. She hopes that they will both be able to support each other in achieving their aspirations in life.
Anubhooti is the eldest child of a loving, open minded and well educated middle class family. We are practical, down to earth in nature and believe in family centric values. Our family is culturally rooted in both Indian and Canadian value system.
In our home, the women are respected as equals and have the same level of freedom as the men. We are not conventional or very particular about following traditions.
I am presently working as part of the Engineering Management group at a private company and my wife is a social worker. Our son is in the process of completing his undergraduate degree.

Gatlin considers the day after Thanksgiving to be a bank holiday. (We guess without a Wal-Mart, Black Friday shopping isn't a big deal in Gatlin.) That means the Caster Library is open.
Coincidentally, the Caster Library is under the Daughters of the American Revolution building.
The library is also called the Domus Lunae Libri: The House of The Book of Moons. Hmm, maybe they'll find The Book of Moons here?
Marian tells them that there are multiple entrances to the Caster Library. How many Casters are there around the world?
Ethan and Lena look around the catacombs for TheBook of Moons. But the tunnels are literally endless, so they decide to ask the locket for guidance.
And… it's back to the time of the Blue and the Gray (i.e., the Civil War).
Despite Ivy's pleas for her to stop, Genevieve starts chanting from The Book of Moons.
Genevieve's words sound pretty foreboding: "Blood of my heart. My salvation. My doom" (11.28.86).
Ethan Carter, the one lying on the ground bleeding to death, opens his eyes. He tells Genevieve that he loves her, he gives her the locket, and then he dies. For real, this time.
Genevieve feels a jolt of electricity. She believes she was struck by lightning. She passes out.
When Genevieve's eyes open, Ivy is horrified that they're no longer green. They're yellow. Uh oh.
Ivy tries to make an offering to the Spirits to fix Genevieve, but the Spirits won't have any of it. They tell Ivy that Genevieve has cursed herself: she traded her fate to try to save Ethan's life. "[Her] fate and the fate a every other Duchannes child that's born after [her]" (11.28.135).
So that's why the Duchannes children don't get to choose. The Book chooses.
But there's hope for Lena—not all Casters go dark.
Ethan drops the locket, and returns to the present.
Macon is there in the middle of the Crypt, and he has Amma with him. They're not happy, to put it mildly.
As if things could get worse, Lena collapses onto a table in the middle of the room. There's a lot of confusion as to what's wrong with Lena and how they can help her.
Ethan decides to pull a Handsome Prince and kiss Sleeping Beauty Lena.
The group moves to a little lounge area in the underground Caster Library. Maybe there's a Dunkin' Donuts down there too?
Bickering and arguing resumes, this time over whose fault it is that the kids have been dragged into this mess.
What can possibly help? Ethan decides to ask about The Book of Moons.
Marian tells everyone that The Book of Moons isn't in the library. It's been missing for a hundred years. Dun dun dun. | <urn:uuid:1a0c5e1e-03fc-4156-a3c9-5c0709785713> | 2013-05-21T10:27:27Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Assembly candidate John Mancuso began Election Day by distributing coffee to volunteers assisting Hurricane Sandy victims. He then toured Brooklyn schools before spending time with his family, something that's been difficult in the last week.
Since Sandy struck last Monday, Mancuso, an NYPD auxiliary police captain, has worked 16-hour shifts in the final days of a campaign that officially began in April, he said.
"Today doesn't even feel like Election Day," said Mancuso, noting the storm took the life out of the many political races.
He's worked with Ms. Malliotakis, his opponent, to ensure victims receive services and assistance during this tough time, said Mancuso, who arrived at the local democratic Election Night headquarters in Bulls Head around 9 p.m.
"We want to get Staten Island back to where it needs to be," he said. "Together we're trying to resolve as many problems as we can."
The Island resident was around following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Irene last year. He explained the recent tragedy has only enhanced his motivation to help others.
"I love helping people. I would do it for free," said Mancuso. "It's been a great year of campaigning. I wouldn't trade anything for this in the world." | <urn:uuid:e75fffa8-7834-4f6a-82b6-83036557bef7> | 2013-05-21T10:07:37Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Give yourself a "mini spa day" with a weekly mask treatment. Not only is a mask a rejuvenating gift you can give to your skin, it's therapeutic, cooling and relaxing – and even energizing -- for both body and soul. Choose from a wide array of masks, peels and clays designed to plump moisture-deprived skin and restore a healthy, youthful appearance. As you deep-clean clogged pores, clear blemishes caused by acne and firm and tighten skin, you uncover a suppler, smoother, more radiant complexion. Masks serve to to detoxify, brighten and strengthen your skin while absorbing excess oils, dead skin cells and impurities. Available in a number of soothing scents like wild rose, pumpkin, blackberry, tea tree, cucumber, papaya and rosemary, all masks should be applied to a thoroughly cleansed face. Be sure to follow directions when it comes to timing, as some masks are meant to stay on for just a few minutes while others are designed for overnight wear. To thoroughly enjoy your mask, stimulate all of your senses: play music, light a candle, poor yourself a relaxing beverage, put your feet up and let the pampering begin! | <urn:uuid:92f04bcb-8a3d-47a9-83c0-464325265047> | 2013-05-21T10:30:19Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of October 18, 2010
After Hannah dropped his bullet necklace outside her house, James confronted her about why she has it. Hannah claimed that Cole found it and tossed it in the trash, so Hannah rescued it. She pointed out that James clearly wears it as a reminder of his dear, sweet Starr. Hannah left James with something to think about when she mentioned that James might win Starr's heart if he comes to her rescue. Meanwhile, Starr rolled a ball back-and-forth with baby Hope and realized that a hard-to-reach window might be their only form of escape. She tossed the baseball through the window and hoped that someone would find their SOS and follow her handwritten instructions to contact Todd.
Nate dropped by Todd's to bravely apologize for helping Dani escape Ross and putting her in this mess in the first place. Nate was relieved when Todd didn't toss him out and actually revealed that he'd briefly talked to Dani while Eli was on the phone with Blair. Todd noted that he wished he'd been able to talk to Starr, too.
After hearing that Ford may have knocked up Jessica, Clint showed up with a few goons at Ford's apartment. Clint helped himself to a beer from Ford's fridge as his men roughed up the "mongrel." Clint explained that his daughter and Brody are going to be married, and Ford better stay out of Jessica's life. To Ford's surprise, Clint announced that he can keep his job at the university, and James can keep his grant. Ford wondered what Clint was getting at and realized it has to do with his mother. Clint explained that he had his goons knock Ford around only in his torso so that Inez wouldn't see any marks on his pretty face. James arrived home to find his fitness-minded brother icing his abs and didn't think much of it, going on about his shady conversation with Hannah. He showed Ford the necklace and explained that Starr was wearing it right before her disappearance, which he now thinks Hannah might have been involved in.
At the hospital, Jessica and Brody anxiously prepared to go in for a DNA test to determine her baby's paternity. They agreed that no matter what the outcome is, they'll still marry and raise lots of babies together. They went in for Jess's checkup and told Dr. Wright that they want to have the test done today. Clint phoned Jessica to let her know that Ford won't be a problem.
Vivian comforted Shaun over his brother's medical condition, unaware that Eli was hovering over Greg talking about how Greg screwed up his plan. He dripped something mysterious into Greg's IV and told the doc he wouldn't feel it at all. Just as he was finishing, Shaun came in. Before Shaun could overpower Eli, the villain clocked him over the head and ran off. Back at the warehouse, Dani came upon her mother in restraints and cried with joy upon seeing her alive (kudos to portrayer Kelley Missal, who made this recapper tear up!). "It was all a lie," Téa assured her weepy daughter, who swore they'd never be apart again. They talked about how Eli is totally insane, and Téa told Dani what she knew of Eli's bizarre plan to fake her death. Just as they were plotting their escape, Eli returned to the warehouse and found them together.
Viki stopped by Dorian's to see how she's handling Starr's kidnapping, but the anxious mayor was quick to reject her rival's sympathy. Dorian revealed that Echo had been there that morning snapping pics of her in an emotional state. Viki and Dorian argued about Echo's past "friendship" with Dorian and how much Dorian enjoyed seeing Echo get between Viki and Clint. Dorian warned Viki that Echo may be after her husband this time, too, but she'll make sure Echo doesn't get her claws into Charlie. Viki revealed Rex's finding that Echo got a speeding ticket in Llanview a year after she was ordered by a judge to leave. Dorian was curious, but more concerned about the reason for Echo's current stay. Before leaving, Viki urged Dorian to call on her if she needs anything where Starr and Hope are concerned.
At the Buenos Dias, Rex caught up Gigi on his investigation of Echo, noting that she'd skipped out on her hotel bill at the Minuteman Hotel. Cristian stopped by their table to talk to Gigi about an art project and noted that Layla is coming to town that week for a visit. Rex approached Clint at his table to inquire about his affair with Echo DiSavoy. "What happened between me and Echo is none of your business," Clint snapped. Rex managed to get Clint's ear when he mentioned that Echo had been through Llanview once more after Clint and Viki ran her out of town in 1983. Meanwhile, Gigi urged Cristian to go to Paris and reconnect with Layla after he learned that she had to postpone her trip because of a work conflict.
Echo checked into the Angel Square Hotel as Roxy showed her around. When Roxy asked for a deposit, Echo distracted her by commenting on Roxy's "excellent bone structure" and got her to waive the deposit by offering a photo shoot. Echo revealed that she used to be a photographer for The Banner and that she and Viki go way back, as do her and Charlie. Roxy talked a bit about Charlie's troubles, and Echo was both surprised and disappointed to hear that Charlie had a son. At Llanfair, Charlie happened to be speaking with Brody about the loss of Jared, and they ended up commiserating over the possibility that Ford may be the father of Jessica's baby.
Still trapped by Hannah, Starr was devastated to see that Hannah had found her SOS outside. Starr begged Hannah to let them out so she can get food and diapers for Hope, but Hannah swept the child up out of the crib and threatened to take Hope with her. Meanwhile, James shared his suspicion with Ford that Hannah hasn't really ever recovered her marbles and that she could have kidnapped Starr and Hope. Ultimately, Hannah left Hope with Starr, threatening to return once she figures out the next phase of her evil plan.
Once Echo managed to get rid of Roxy, she thought back to a box she'd had with her the first time she was in Llanview, then opened that box and looked inside. Roxy headed to the Buenos Dias and ran into Rex, who hightailed it to the hotel upon hearing that Echo's now staying in Angel Square. He snagged a key from behind the front desk and made his way into Echo's empty room, where he promptly began going through the drawers. Finally, Rex came upon the box and was shocked by what he found inside: a half-heart locket like the one worn by his mother, Lili. Meanwhile, Echo arrived at Llanfair, offered Charlie her condolences for the loss of his son and said there's something they need to talk about.
Echo offered her condolences to Charlie and said she understands the kind of loss he's experienced. She was on the verge of unburdening herself when Viki came home and told Echo to get out. "I'm sorry, Charlie," Echo stated cryptically. "Sorrier than you know." Afterward, Viki was really keyed-up about Echo's presence and assumed she was there just laying the groundwork to seduce "Chuckles." Charlie assured his jealous wife that he is not going to sleep with Echo.
At the Buenos Dias, Gigi showed Viki a sketch she'd done of the necklace that belonged to Rex's mother, just as Rex came across that very pendant in Echo's secret box. Rex snapped a pic of the necklace and was about to sneak out when Echo arrived and asked what he's doing in her room. He made up a story about fixing something in Eddie Johnny's room, but she told him he has the wrong suite. Echo rightly guessed that he's Roxy's "son" and introduced herself. Once he was gone, she retrieved her box and breathed a sigh of relief to see that its contents were safe and sound.
Cristian ran into Markko at the Buenos Dias and learned that Markko plans to stick around Llanview a little while longer, at least until Starr and Hope are found. Cris wondered if Markko just wants to be close to Langston. Rex found Gigi at the caf and showed her the picture he took of the necklace. Gigi was surprised, but thrilled that they have a new lead on Rex's parents. He revealed that he plans to go back to New Mexico to ask a few more questions about this necklace.
To Langston's surprise, Ford asked Hannah for another chance (although it was clearly part of his and James's "plan" to get some info out of Hannah). Hannah stepped out to take a call from Marty, while Ford explained to Langston that he's working an angle that could help Starr and just begged her to trust him on this. Langston agreed to play along, and pretended to argue with Ford when Hannah returned. Langston excused herself so Ford could continue his faux plea to make things right with Hannah, but Hannah ended up admitting that she wants to be with Cole. Ford reminded Hannah that she can never have Cole as long as Starr is in the picture. "What if she wasn't?" Hannah suggested. Before Ford could find out what Hannah was getting at, Cole showed up. Ford left. Langston went over to James and Ford's place to get more of an explanation on what these two are up to with Hannah. James made it clear that Cole cannot know about any of this.
Up in the attic, Starr was nearly delirious as she and Hope wasted away in captivity. She fell asleep and had a nightmare that Cole was making out with Hannah when he should be looking for her, then dreamt of James coming to her rescue. In the dream, Cole suddenly realized he was wrong and asked Starr to come with him. Before she could choose between James and Cole, she woke up to the sound of her crying baby. She picked up Hope and sang her a little lullaby. Elsewhere in Llanview, Echo put on the half-heart necklace while Charlie pleaded with Viki to stop focusing on Echo. Starr put Hope back to sleep and talked out loud as she wished for James or Cole to find them.
At the LPD, John worked out a map based on Eli's traced call. Natalie brought in her recent lab results and revealed that the ashes that supposedly belonged to Téa were indeed someone else's remains. At the warehouse, Téa and Dani commiserated over their predicament and Téa assured Dani that Todd was doing everything he could to track her down right now. Eli returned and Dani cringed as he tried to force-feed her. Téa asked Eli when this ordeal would be over, but he said not until he gets his money.
John arrived at Todd's just as Eli contacted him about the ransom exchange. John took over the call and listened to Eli's demands. After insisting on a getaway in addition to his cash, Eli made one final demand: Blair. Knowing it could save Dani and Starr (who they believed was with Eli), she agreed to see him, but Todd wasn't keen on the idea. Eli returned to his hostages and claimed that he's about to get what he wants, including Blair.
At the hospital, Vivian urged Shaun to take a break from waiting for Greg to wake up and go celebrate Destiny's birthday. Vivian was certain that Shaun had actually thwarted Eli's latest murder attempt on his brother, but later noticed that his pulse was weakening. Meanwhile, Destiny was having a hard time enjoying her birthday without her ailing brother. Shaun arrived at the party in time to see Destiny blew out her birthday candles. Destiny opened her gifts, and Nate caused a stir by giving her a pair of earrings that she loved after Darren and Matthew both gave her the same gift. Matthew followed Nate outside and yelled at him for crashing the party. Darren intervened before a fight could break out.
Back at the hospital, Greg started to flatline but Vivian was able to quickly stabilize him. She soon realized that Eli had put something in Greg's IV. Greg woke up and Vivian asked if she wanted to contact his family, but he wanted to talk to the cops first. Natalie responded to Viv's call and asked Greg if he has something to tell her about Téa. Greg confirmed her theory that Téa is alive and explained that Eli made him fake her death and was using a secret about Greg to blackmail him. Greg wanted to make things right with Téa and was disturbed to hear that she's at the clinic where she's supposed to be. Natalie had no choice but to place Greg under arrest. Vivian phoned Greg's family to let them know that Greg is awake. The Evans family came to see him and were shocked as Greg admitted that he did help Eli. Natalie rushed over to Todd's to tell John about Téa, but she was too late: John, Todd and Blair had just shown up at the warehouse to meet Eli.
Hannah disturbed Cole with her admission that she dreamt of Starr and Hope dying. Marty and Cole were forced to leave Hannah alone when they heard about the ransom exchange. Hannah was relieved, seeing as she had plenty of hostage-related things to do. Unbeknownst to Hannah, the house was being staked out by James, Ford and Langston. Ford started violently coughing, but continued to lie that he just lifted too much at the gym. Langston and James were highly concerned when they saw that Ford was coughing up blood. Langston convinced Ford to abandon their stakeout so that she could take him to the hospital. James, meanwhile, approached Hannah as she made her way out to the car.
To Téa's horror, Eli put a gag on Dani and dragged her out of the warehouse for "insurance" at his meeting with Todd, Blair and the cops. Eli phoned John and watched from the window, asking where his helicopter is. John claimed that there was one waiting a few blocks away. Eli demanded to speak with Blair and told her that the only way he'll release the kids is if she runs away with him. Blair looked horrified, but would have done anything at that moment for Starr, Dani and Hope. Natalie showed up and told Brody that she has to get to John right away, but he wouldn't let her near the warehouse. Marty's wheels started to spin when she overheard Brody say that he can't put Nat in harm's way because he cares too much about the baby.
Matthew and Clint had a BE powwow at the Buenos Dias, and Clint congratulated his nephew on preventing Rex from stealing "corporate secrets" a few weeks ago. When Matthew asked why Clint didn't turn Rex into the cops, Clint hinted that he had his reasons. Over at the counter, Cristian and Gigi talked about their art class over, but Cris was sad when Gigi mentioned one of Layla's favorite paintings.
At the hospital, Greg insisted to his parents that it's time Shaun and Destiny know "the truth," but Phylicia thought his secret should remain between the three of them. They continued to argue until Shaun and Destiny interrupted and said they're ready to hear the truth. Destiny couldn't believe her ears when Mr. and Mrs. Evans announced that they are not her parents. Shaun was totally confused, recalling that he was "around" when they had her (not around enough to notice his mom was never pregnant, apparently). Destiny broke down in tears and couldn't believe that she's adopted, but Phylicia explained that she's not adopted. "You are our flesh and blood," she swore. Now Shaun was really confused. Greg had been silent this whole time, but finally revealed, "Destiny, I am your father!"
Blair approached Eli as he exited the building with Dani and claimed she'd drive the getaway van to his helicopter. Eli raised a hand above Dani and showed everyone that he has a remote control that could trigger a huge explosion in the warehouse (which everyone believed contained Starr and Hope). Amidst the chaos caused by this announcement, Blair crept around the van and slipped into the warehouse through a grate. Expecting to find her daughter and granddaughter, she was speechless upon finding a bound-and-gagged Téa instead. After a brief, joyful reunion, Blair asked where Starr is, and Téa had to break it to Blair that she doesn't know. Outside, Eli let Dani go and jumped into the van, but was furious when he saw that Blair wasn't inside. John begged Eli to put down the remote, but Eli angrily mumbled something about Todd not being able to have his wife, either, and blew the roof off the place. | <urn:uuid:598a3948-8933-4341-9823-9ff2617b3eca> | 2013-05-21T10:20:37Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

At a Glance: Have you ever been playing a game and thought to yourself, "wow, this game is great, but it really doesn't present the opportunity to kill yourself often enough. I want to be able to end my own life hundreds of times -- no, thousands of times -- while trying to complete the first level"? Well if you have, Bomberking is the game for you! A masochist's wet-dream come true, in this game your own weapons take your life more often than any enemy does by about eight thousand fold. That folks, is the sign of quality gaming!
Platform: NES (Download Emulator here - 192k)
Download: Download ROM here - 71k
Game Plot: The opening cinematics of this game are slightly mystifying, so I will attempt to interpret them to the best of my ability. There is a planet somewhere, floating in space as planets often do, and being very green. Then it changes slowly to red. This is obviously a bad thing, because red is always evil. The color red brings to mind horrible things such as stop signs, Communism, blood, Santa Claws, "Tickle Me Elmo" dolls, and Cuba Gooding Junior. Changing to a shot of the surface of the planet, it shows once again that the planet is very green. There is a bird that flies away and some swaying grass, then everything turns to red again and the grass shrivels and dies. It never says or shows what actually causes this drastic change in color. The only thing that moves other than the grass is the bird, so the planet turning red must have been caused by the little bird flying away. Maybe on this planet a little flying bird is the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, and the end of the world consists of some dying grass and a change of color schemes. Or maybe this game is just really fucking dumb.
Anyway, evil is released, and after you press the start button you are treated to an excellent scene of your ship flying toward the planet formerly known as "green" to dispense a heavy dose of justice or Miracle Grow or something similar. You are then teleported down from your ship because apparently things like "changing a planet from an icky red color to its previous beautiful green state" is a hands on job that a big and powerful looking spaceship could not begin to help you with. At first you think you are some kind of super hero from another planet, but after about two seconds of playing you realize you are really just a retarded demolitions "expert" that was probably banished from your home world for being a dumbass and sent to this planet to die.
Weapons: This is the really exciting part! You start off with just a little gun that shoots radioactive peas, but lucky for you someone left some bombs lying right next to your starting point! I am pretty sure it was one of the enemies because almost every single time you plant one, the resulting explosion kills you. The bombs are the only things in the game that kill you in one hit, and you only have one life. If you set a bomb and pause for more than a tenth of a second before you start to run in the other direction, you die. If you run in slightly another direction than directly away from where you planted your bomb, you die. If you get hit by an enemy while you are running away from your bomb, you get stunned and you die. If you accidentally hit the "B" button when you start pounding your controller into little shards of plastic while screaming "GOD DAMN YOU, YOU SORRY ASS PIECE OF SHIT GAME!!!" you die.
You have to use bombs constantly to clear out the massive amounts of forest that make up the levels. This makes very little sense considering you are trying to make the planet green again, and the only way to get through the level is to blow up all the trees around you. You find other little goodies along the way, usually behind the trees. There are rockets, shoes that make you move faster for about two seconds, a four way pea shooter, a force fields, lightning bolts, candles, energy tanks, and little Japanese words on blocks that give you points. Basically, the standard items found when blowing up large amounts of forest and searching through the debris.
Enemies: Interestingly enough, the enemies in this game are about as unrelated to each other as you can get. It's as if the designers went up to several retarded first-graders and said, "after you're finished eating that crayon, use this one to draw a scary thing of some sort" and then they put them all into their game. There are large skulls that slide around on little vertebrae, some triangles that fly about, alien buzzards, some globs of jelly that turn into trees, spider things with bird heads, and some futuristic gas masks that pulsate and shoot missiles. The last two can't be killed with peas alone, so you have to use your bombs. This, of course, means you will die most of the time you try to kill them. I usually just tried to stay away from those two. When an enemy hits you it takes away a little bit of the status bar at the top right hand corner of the screen and when it is empty, surprisingly enough, you die. Fortunately for you that will probably never happen, because you will blow yourself up before it's depleted even half way.
The status bar took some thinking to figure out what exactly it was regulating. It slowly runs out, even when you are not running into enemies, so the first thing that came mind is an air supply gauge. However, whatever the gauge represented also seemed to buffer the enemies' attacks, preventing them from just killing you. I doubt the power of air alone could possibly protect you from the vicious attacks of flying triangles and such, so my next guess was the battery power left in the space suit. I finally decided that it regulates the amount of bladder control you have left before you urinate in your space suit and drown in your own waste, solely because I really hated the little space bastard for setting all of the fuses to his bombs to .0002 seconds and I wanted him to die in the most disgusting and humiliating way possible. There were only three things that killed me all 600 or so times I died playing this game. I drowned in a little waterhole once, just to see if the water would kill me, and stupidly enough it did. Apparently my suit protects me from the harsh alien atmosphere but not water. The gas mask looking things killed me two times with their missiles, only because their missiles are the only things that waste a substantial amount of the status bar. The other 597 times I died were caused by my own bombs. This makes the main character the most lethal enemy in the game. Fun!
Number of Levels: I got to see what I would consider three small parts of the first level. There is the opening area, the secret underground level and the main level. The opening area just has some bombs and trees; it's a place to learn how to use your bombs without annoying enemies flying about. I only died nine or ten times on this screen. The secret underground level is a totally black background with a bunch of enemies running around. There is nothing else on the screen. If you have a candle powerup you can see a little circle of light around you for about seven seconds. I was only able to find my way out of there two times, and that was just by walking to the right for several minutes. It is the most retarded excuse for a secret level I have ever seen in a game.
The main level is just a forest where you work your way to the right slowly and blow up trees. You can't backtrack, so if you get stuck down a narrow pathway and run out of bombs you just have to wait until you run out of air / energy / bladder control, or turn the game off and go jump out a window. I got all the way to the right side of the map once. It was a dead end. I started blowing up trees to try to find an exit, to no avail. I took out almost all of the trees on the screen before my finger slipped and I blew myself up. Apparently the designers thought no one would ever make it to the end of the first level, so they decided not to include a way to get to the next level. According to the demos that play at the beginning of the game there are at least 2 more levels other than the first one, although I have no idea how you are supposed to get to them. Interestingly enough, all of the demos end by the main character blowing himself up.
Number of Bosses: There is at least one boss in this game, it's a giant snake that lunges at you while lightning bolts fly across the screen. The only way I know about it is from yet another demo that is played at the beginning of the game. Of course this demo ends with a bomb taking the life of our hero yet again. This game should be called Bomberdumbass.
Defining Moment: The first time I played the game I was randomly hitting buttons to learn the controls. I died as soon as I found the bomb button, of course, and knew right then I was in for a massive helping of pain. I kept playing anyway, just to see if it would get any better, and it only got worse. I finally started to get used to the way the bombs worked and then I would get careless or I would get stuck on a tree or I would hit the bomb button on accident or an enemy would hit me at just the right time or I would blink and I would kill myself. The slightest mistake ends your game, and it's so repetitive it's impossible to stay completely focused unless you have an I.Q. that starts with a decimal point.

9:1 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
9:2 for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.
9:3 But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:
9:4 lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.
9:5 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.
9:6 But this `I say,' He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
9:7 `Let' each man `do' according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:
9:9 as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.
9:10 And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
9:11 ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.
9:12 For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;
9:13 seeing that through the proving `of you' by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of `your' contribution unto them and unto all;
9:14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
9:15 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

Beating Swords Into Plowshares
Converting Military Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles to Peaceful Space Launchers
Russian Submarine Novomoscovsk
Launches Satellites From Barents Sea
The Russian nuclear submarine Novomoscovsk used a converted sea-launched ballistic missile to fire two small environmental research satellites into Earth orbit from beneath the Barents Sea in 1998.
A Russian Typhoon-class nuclear submarine
The unusual launch was the first time a commercial payload had ever been sent from Earth into orbit from a submarine and the first commercial space launch in the history of the Russian Navy.
The satellites named TUBSAT were launched on a Shitl rocket which was a converted sea-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).
The Shitl Rocket
The Shitl rocket family is one of a range of space launch vehicles derived from decommissioned ballistic missiles offered for sale by Russia after the Cold War.
The industrial design bureau Makeyev OKB had been formed by the former Soviet Union in the 1950s to produce a storable liquid fuel rocket family. Back then, those missiles were known as R-11 for use on land and R-11FM for use by the navy.
Makeyev went on to design and manufacture descendents of the R-11 family, including the infamous Scud-B missile and nearly all of Russia's submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). In the 1990s, Makeyev and other OKBs marketed a variety of space rockets converted from surplus SLRBs, which could be launched from the ground, air, sea surface or underwater.
During the Cold War, the military SLBM, which later would become the Shitl space rocket, was known as R-29RM and SS-N-23. The manufacturer was designated RSM-54.
Shitl is a three-stage liquid-fuel rocket. The satellites replaced the nuclear warhead inside a standard R-29RM re-entry vehicle atop the SS-N-23.
The submarine launch plaform was Novomoskovsk K-407, a 667BDRM Delta-IV-class or Delfin-class submarine of the Russian Northern Fleet's 3rd Flotilla.
The Shitl's maiden flight took place July 7, 1998, while the submarine was in a Barents Sea firing range off the coast of the Kolskiy Peninsula at 69.3 degrees N by 35.3 degrees E.
Prior to launch, the space flight had been viewed as a risk because a different one of the Northern fleet's Delta-class submarines had suffered an accident in one of its rocket tubes on May 5, 1998.
The Shtil's former warhead faring housed an Israeli instrument package and the German satellites TUBSAT-N and TUBSAT N-1.
The tiny satellites, referred to as nanosatellites, were built and operated by the Technische Universitat Berlin (TUB).
Each TUBSAT carried small store-and-forward communications payloads used to track transmitters placed on vehicles, migrating animals and marine buoys.
The satellites were dropped off in elliptical orbits ranging from 250 to 500 miles above Earth. They traveled around Earth every 96 minutes.
Tubsat-N, designated internationally as 1998-042A, weighed eighteen lbs. while Tubsat-N1, designated 1998-042B, weighed seven lbs.
Technically, putting satellites in low Earth orbits is only a small step from delivering long-range warheads. The Russians had been offering the submarine launch facility as a commercial service for some time and previously had conducted sub-orbital test flights.
The benefits of a submarine launch are safety and ease of putting a payload into a particular orbit. By comparison, there are safety restrictions on the directions toward which land-based rockets can be launched.
On the other hand, these submarine-based missiles converted to space rockets are only big enough to launch small research satellites. They aren't able to launch very large and heavy communications satellites or interplanetary space probes. However, the success of the Shitl launch could open up a valuable small-satellite niche in the space-launch market for the Russians.
The Northern fleet reportedly was paid $111,000 for the launch, which helped the submarine crew sharpen skills diminished by a shortage of training funds.
Berlin Technical University's Transport and Applied Mechanics Department plans to launch two more TUBSATs.

The crankset is the component of a bicycle drivetrain that converts the reciprocating motion of the rider's legs into rotational motion used to drive the chain, which in turn drives the rear wheel.
It consists of one or more chainrings attached to the crankarms, which attach the pedals
to the crank. It is connected to the rider by the pedals,
to the bicycle frame
by the bottom bracket,
and to the rear sprocket, cassette
via the chain.
Over the years, many different strategies have propelled crankset development, not the least of which have been the addition of new bottom bracket
technologies, the desire for an increased amount of mechanical advantage, and weight savings.
When evaluating cranksets be mindful of weight differences, construction differences (better cranksets are stiffer, and have less play in them), and gearing differences.Full Article | <urn:uuid:264263f5-702a-4415-af1a-6ffb791f1771> | 2013-05-21T10:01:18Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Studies at Copenhagen
Niels Bohr entered the University of Copenhagen in 1903. While he took advantage of the school's science offerings, perhaps one of the most important single courses he took was a philosophy class with Professor Höffding, who had been his father's close friend. Höffding was among the colleagues whose visits had contributed essentially to Bohr's early intellectual development. Höffding surveyed the key philosophical systems from the sixteenth to eighteenth century, placing the emphasis on central questions rather than on any one theory. Bohr became so engaged with some of these questions that he considered turning to epistemology at one point. Although he would later return to epistemology as it related to his work quantum mechanics, his interest in philosophy began independent of the scientific context and may have influenced his work in physics as much as the reverse case.
Bohr encountered another major influence on his development when he and Harald were invited to join a discussion group of students from Höffding's course. Debating primarily philosophical questions raised in Höffding's course, the group, dubbed Ekliptika and limited to twelve members, featured future jurists, historians, psychologists, entomologists, and etymologists. Both Niels and Harald were active members of the debate, and one member, Vilhelm Slomann the art-historian, recalls that their thinking was so closely integrated that they often expanded on each other's thoughts spontaneously in an awe-inspiring intellectual partnership. This method of refining ideas became characteristic of Bohr's process. He preferred conversation to working alone, and he felt most productive when he had successfully established a harmonious connection and a comfortable environment.
Despite these additional and related interests, physics remained the passion of Bohr's life. His undergraduate career culminated in a prize-winning project on the surface tension of liquids, offered by the Academy of Sciences and Letters. Working from the theoretical projections of Lord Rayleigh, Bohr sought a way to measure surface tension with the use of vibrating water jets. The experiments seemed never ending, and Bohr's father had to persuade him to stop and actually write the paper. Bohr was awarded the academy gold medal, having at the age of twenty-one modified and expanded upon the theories of Rayleigh, one of the most famous physicists of that period. Moreover, the significance of this work reappeared many years later when the surface tension of water proved relevant to Bohr's study of the atom (and subsequently to nuclear energy and the atom bomb). No one could have foreseen this development, particularly the Academy, which had chosen the topic only because most physicists were unfamiliar with it. This coincidence illustrates the unity of Bohr's career, as he rarely touched on tangents that would not somehow fit into his larger projects.
Bohr moved directly into research for his master's thesis. Again he found it hard to recognize when to conclude, and his brother, who had begun his research later, actually completed his thesis and examinations first, going on to study with the German mathematician Edmond Landau. Bohr could not have been more proud of his brother's achievements, but he soon found reason to celebrate his own: his gold medal paper was published in Philosophical Transactions, a distinguished English journal. Soon Bohr completed his doctorate, which he received in 1911 for his work on the electron theory of metals. Like much of his early work, this research foreshadowed issues that he explored and transformed later in his career. His doctoral research, while fruitful, began pointing him to limitations in classical physics with regard to electron behavior, indicating the need for fundamental changes beyond the standard revising that had been going on to this point.
In 1910, shortly after receiving his master's degree, Bohr met Margrethe Nørlund, who became his wife two years later. Her charm and beauty captured his love, and she found his sincerity, modesty, and intelligence alluring. She remained a devoted companion for life, and the two shared over fifty years of happy marriage. They had six children, four of whom survived to adulthood and bore children who delighted their grandparents in their later years. While accounts of Bohr's family life are limited, he achieved personal happiness that complemented his rich professional success.

ABOUT YOUR ADVISER
I believe that obtaining qualified independent advice is the most responsible way for individuals to look after themselves, their families and their futures.
The role of an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) is to help individuals to meet those requirements.

How to Buy A Treadmill
Treadmills remain the most popular exercise machine available today. Buying a treadmill can be costly, but it's a highly advantageous purchase that provides a myriad of health benefits. Treadmills allow users to train for a wide range of sports or activities. They keep endurance up, burn significant amounts of calories, and can help you efficiently maintain your weight. A high-quality treadmill can provide a safe and fun way for the whole family to start and stay on the path to a healthy lifestyle. It's very important to choose a treadmill that can lead you toward your specific fitness goals, as well as sustain its performance through the amount of use you will give it. So buy accordingly.
Introduction to Treadmills
- They are easy to use
- The movement (walking or running) is natural
- They offer low-impact workouts
- They can be adjusted to fit whatever workout level you desire
- Using a treadmill is just like taking a walk or a run
- Depending on the model, you either propel the belt under your own power or the machine sets the pace (determined by you) and you keep up
- A treadmill is only as good as its motor; the larger and heavier the motor, the longer the treadmill will last.
- Motorized treadmills have one motor that drives the belt and another (the lift motor) that raises and lowers the running bed to create an incline
- Motors allow you to set the pace for your workout so you can stay on track
- Treadmill Duty versus Continuous Duty*
- Continuous duty: This is the amount of continuous motor power that is consistently delivered during heavy usage over an extended period of time.
- Treadmill duty is the amount of power output at which the motor is rated. These motors are specifically designed for treadmill usage.
- Horsepower is the measurement of power of a treadmill motor; manufacturers use two measurements for horsepower: continuous and peak
- Continuous horsepower is how powerful a treadmill can continually operate without dropping off
- Peak horsepower is the maximum horsepower a treadmill can generate for a short period of time
- Since peak horsepower is usually significantly higher than a motor's continuous capability, continuous horsepower better helps you determine which treadmill will accommodate your intended exercise use
- Generally speaking, the larger the motor the more powerful it can operate at a continuous rate
- You should look for a treadmill that indicates at least a 1.5 continuous duty horsepower motor for runners and a 1.0 for joggers and walkers
- Use the chart below to help you select the right motor based on your intended use:
Choosing the Right Motor
|Your Workout||Recommended Horsepower
|Walking or light jogging||1.0 hp - 1.5 continuous hp
|Running||1.5 hp - 2.0 continuous hp
- Incline raises the treadmill's running bed for increased resistance
- Treadmill incline mimics walking or running up hills, making your workout more challenging, burning more calories and further increasing muscle tone
- Manual incline means you change the incline yourself; this is usually offered in 4 different placements, such as 3% incline, 5% incline, 7% incline and 9% incline; treadmills with manual incline are less expensive than those with powered incline
- Power incline offers you automatic adjustment so you can change the incline while you're walking/running to add variety and challenge to your workout; most treadmills offer a powered incline from 0%-10%
- Powered incline is inarguably more convenient and easier to use
- The thicker the deck, the more cushioning and comfort it offers your legs/joints
- Look for new proprietary deck cushioning systems designed to provide superior comfort and impact absorption during walks and runs
- Belts vary in length, depending on whether the unit is geared more for walkers/joggers or runners.
- Belt widths range from 16 inches to 22 inches, while lengths vary from about 45 inches to 60 inches
- Long stride for walking or light jogging 18-22 inch width, 50-60 inch length
- Average stride for walking or light jogging-16-18 inch width, 45-50 inch length
- Some people prefer the smaller, more compact version for a workout because it forces them to keep a quick pace
- Others find the wider and longer belts to be more comfortable and a better fit for their longer stride
- Short belts will not accommodate long legs. If you have long legs you should definitely look into a treadmill with a longer belt.
- Treadmills are designed to cushion your step, which is especially important if you have any sort of knee, ankle, hip or other joint problems
- Do not buy a 'bouncy' treadmill
- Most treadmills offer speed setting from 0 to 10 mph
- Most people walk in the 3-6 mph range, runners from 6-10 mph
- Computer panel displays: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) OR LED (Light Emitting Diode--easier to read because it is brighter)
- Most treadmills have some sort of computer programming, ranging from a simple odometer and speedometer to pre-programmed workouts and storage capabilities
- Computer controls can provide feedback such as speed, distance, heart rate, pace, calories burned, laps taken, time elapsed, incline and more (depending on the particular treadmill)
- Seeing these progress readouts offers motivation to increase intensity and add challenges to your workout
- Heart rate monitor capabilities are a valuable addition for your fitness routine. Once your target HR zone is programmed in, your treadmill will adjust speed and/or incline according to HRM readouts in order to keep that desired heart rate zone, offering optimal workout efficiency for weight loss and total-body conditioning
- The more advanced the computer controls, the more expensive the model
- Computer controls allow you to store your previous workouts to monitor your progress
- They offer you a variety of workouts and difficulty levels to maintain your interest
- Many treadmills have an emergency switch that stops the machine should you fall off of it or get too tired to continue. Some also can only be turned on with special keys or an electronic code, allowing you to control who uses it.
- If space is a concern, look for a smaller model or for a model that folds up for storage when not being used
- Many models fold up so you can slide them into a corner or out of the way

An effective (though uncommon) approach to database design
In database design a lot of effort is spent on ensuring that database designs are perfectly normalized and slated for great performance. But there is one aspect that, though even more important, tends to get a lot less attention: correctness. If a database is completely normalized and performs brilliantly, but won't store the data that the business needs, or allows modification that should be rejected as violating business rules - what use is it?
In this precon, Hugo Kornelis presents a method that enables the database designer to find out exactly what the business needs are. Common pitfalls, such as miscommunications due to abstraction and jargon are avoided because the method relies completely on using concrete examples in the jargon of the business. The method presented tells you exactly what questions to ask, how to ask them, and how the answers to your question should be incorporated in your data model.
At the end of this day, you'll be able to make a conceptual data model for every application, and to transform that data model into a (completely normalized) logical database design.
Sorry, there are no downloads available for this session.
Hugo is co-founder and R&D lead of perFact BV, a Dutch company that strives to improve analysis methods and to develop computer-aided tools that will generate completely functional applications from the analysis deliverable. The chosen platform for this development is SQL Server.
In his spare time, Hugo likes to share and enhance his knowledge of SQL Server by frequenting newsgroups and forums, reading and writing books and blogs, and attending and speaking at conferences. For his contributions to the SQL Server community, Microsoft has given him the MVP award in 2006, and every year since.

In January 1992, a container ship near the International Date Line, headed to Tacoma, Washington from Hong Kong, lost 12 containers during severe storm conditions. One of these containers held a shipment of 29,000 bathtub toys. Ten months later, the first of these plastic toys began to wash up onto the coast of Alaska. Driven by the wind and ocean currents, these toys continue to wash ashore during the next several years and some even drifted into the Atlantic Ocean.
The ultimate reason for the world's surface ocean currents is the sun. The heating of the earth by the sun has produced semi-permanent pressure centers near the surface. When wind blows over the ocean around these pressure centers, surface waves are generated by transferring some of the wind's energy, in the form of momentum, from the air to the water. This constant push on the surface of the ocean is the force that forms the surface currents.
Learning Lesson: How it is Currently Done
Around the world, there are some similarities in the currents. For example, along the west coasts of the continents, the currents flow toward the equator in both hemispheres. These are called cold currents as they bring cool water from the polar regions into the tropical regions. The cold current off the west coast of the United States is called the California Current.
Likewise, the opposite is true as well. Along the east coasts of the continents, the currents flow from the equator toward the poles. There are called warm current as they bring the warm tropical water north. The Gulf Stream, off the southeast United States coast, is one of the strongest currents known anywhere in the world, with water speeds up to 3 mph (5 kph).
These currents have a huge impact on the long-term weather a location experiences. The overall climate of Norway and the British Isle is about 18°F (10°C) warmer in the winter than other cites located at the same latitude due to the Gulf Stream.
Take it to the MAX! Keeping Current
While ocean currents are a shallow level circulations, there is global circulation which extends to the depths of the sea called the Great Ocean Conveyor. Also called the thermohaline circulation, it is driven by differences in the density of the sea water which is controlled by temperature (thermal) and salinity (haline).
In the northern Atlantic Ocean, as water flows north it cools considerably increasing its density. As it cools to the freezing point, sea ice forms with the "salts" extracted from the frozen water making the water below more dense. The very salty water sinks to the ocean floor.
Learning Lesson: That Sinking Feeling
It is not static, but a slowly southward flowing current. The route of the deep water flow is through the Atlantic Basin around South Africa and into the Indian Ocean and on past Australia into the Pacific Ocean Basin.
If the water is sinking in the North Atlantic Ocean then it must rise somewhere else. This upwelling is relatively widespread. However, water samples taken around the world indicate that most of the upwelling takes place in the North Pacific Ocean.
It is estimated that once the water sinks in the North Atlantic Ocean that it takes 1,000-1,200 years before that deep, salty bottom water rises to the upper levels of the ocean. | <urn:uuid:dfd00b67-c3db-464f-93c1-6d6c5508de9d> | 2013-05-21T10:00:34Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Use bathroom cleaners to clean and sanitize restroom fixtures. A clean restroom is more welcoming for employees, clients, and customers, and keeping the bathroom clean helps prevent the spread of germs. Products such as toilet bowl cleaners and multipurpose spray cleansers are essential for maintaining a safe, sanitary restroom.
Heavy-Duty Cleansers Heavy-duty cleansers take care of tough stains and messes. In addition to removing dirt, mildew, and mold, these cleansers also kill germs that can cause disease.
Multipurpose Products Multipurpose bathroom cleansers let you use a single product to clean walls, floors, and bathroom fixtures. Sponges and scrubs help you get into tight spaces to clean every inch of your office restroom.
Spray-On Convenience Bathroom cleansers in a spray bottle make it simple and convenient to clean your office restroom quickly. The spray nozzle lets you precisely control where the product goes so that you avoid waste. | <urn:uuid:f596c71c-4e13-46f7-ad6b-4e62c34b5745> | 2013-05-21T10:34:27Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

A representative of the University of Minnesota Alumni Association (letter, April 26) inaccurately implied that the Metropolitan Council initially approved a plan for the Central Corridor light-rail transit line that included a tunnel under Washington Avenue. That simply is not accurate.
In June 2006, when the council approved a recommendation for LRT on University and Washington avenues, Chairman Peter Bell warned that the cost of the project would have to come down if it were to meet federal cost-effectiveness requirements and win federal matching funds essential for construction. Chairman Bell specifically said that a tunnel, costing $200 million or more, was one of several features that would have to be carefully scrutinized during preliminary engineering.
Further study determined that a tunnel simply was too expensive, but that light rail would work on Washington Avenue as part of a transit-pedestrian mall. The university countered by resurrecting the so-called "northern alignment" through Dinkytown. Bell agreed to listen to the U's arguments, but warned that making such a major change in the alignment would likely delay the project for a year and add at least $40 million in inflationary costs.
It is important to understand that the northern alignment is one of dozens of options that had been carefully evaluated and rejected years earlier during the corridor "alternatives analysis," which was led by Ramsey County.
It's clear that during the last two decades, "all of the options" for improved transit in the Central Corridor have been studied and the best one has emerged -- a light-rail line with an auto-free, transit-pedestrian mall on Washington Avenue.

He said Tehran is "two years away" from becoming "a nuclear weapons state."
In an unusually public forum, the head of Britain's foreign intelligence agency, MI6, has forecast that Iran will likely achieve a nuclear weapons capability within two years, a British newspaper reported on Friday.
The Daily Telegraph quoted Sir John Sawers, once the ranking British diplomat on the Iranian nuclear issue and now head of the Secret Intelligence Service, as making the disclosure last week to a gathering of 100 high-ranking civil servants. The reported remarks play into a highly contentious debate over Iran's intentions and capabilities.
U.S. intelligence agencies have cited a 2007 assessment stating that Iran suspended research on nuclear weapons in 2003 and had not decided to take the final steps needed to build a bomb. But Britain and Israel, in particular, have interpreted the same data to mean that a decision has been made to move to a nuclear weapons capability. For its part, Iran has frequently said it has no intention to build such weapons.
Sawers was also said to have maintained that covert operations by British intelligence agents had prevented Iran from acquiring the technology as early as 2008. A British government official, speaking in return for anonymity under departmental rules, said Sawers had been "speaking off the record to civil servants at a leadership event and what he said has been said by others before."
According to the Daily Telegraph, the remarks were Sawers' first publicly reported assessment of Iran's nuclear ambitions since his appointment as head of MI6 in 2009. Iran, he said, was now "two years away" from becoming "a nuclear weapons state," the Daily Telegraph reported, and when it achieved that status, the United States and Israel would have to decide whether to strike.
"The Iranians are determinedly going down a path to master all aspects of nuclear weapons, all the technologies they need," he said. "It's equally clear that Israel and the United States would face huge dangers if Iran were to become a nuclear weapon state."
Iran says its nuclear program is designed for peaceful purposes, but reflecting the assessment that Tehran is seeking a nuclear weapons capability, the United States and its allies have imposed a tightening vise of economic sanctions accompanying thus far inconclusive diplomatic efforts to persuade Iran to abandon nuclear enrichment.
Without efforts by British intelligence, Sawers was quoted as saying, "you'd have Iran as a nuclear weapons state in 2008 rather than still being two years away in 2012." He did not elaborate. | <urn:uuid:e4e4d47d-59a8-4cdf-a961-35fa8f9778c4> | 2013-05-21T10:06:59Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

The Ambassadors' Special Self-Help (SSH) Program in sub-Saharan Africa falls under the authority of the Development Assistance policy of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 as amended, with such assistance funds appropriated to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID's delegation of authority (not limited) can in turn be delegated to Ambassadors, making it possible for them to respond to requests for assistance with small community projects that promise to have immediate impact and may add to the advancement of U.S. objectives. This delegation encompasses the authority to negotiate, execute, amend, implement, and otherwise administer SSH agreements with foreign governments and nongovernmental organizations in accordance with the Special Self-Help Guide of May 2002.
This can often be done within the basic structure of currently established community programs. For example, under a road project, the community can construct an essential footbridge which has been virtually unusable or nonexistent during rainy seasons. Financing of sewing machines or other equipment can be arranged for a vocational training project or an adult education organization. Frequently, communities would like to improve their living quarters or community buildings but are unable to do so without SSH assistance in purchasing a brick-making machine. | <urn:uuid:4f98ee9e-3922-4a67-b0fa-483b671647b8> | 2013-05-21T10:00:16Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Here's something interesting ~ this stone, which looks like an axe ~ has a traditional African use in connection with the horns of the tribe's cattle .
If as i believe, the traditions of Stone Age Europe have roots in an African Urkultur, it may be worth considering whether some of the many "stone axes" which have been found in Europe were used within a similar tradition .

Should you be a cottage gardener, a Victorian gardener, an herb gardener, a plain dirt gardener, a natural gardener, a container gardener, a colorist, or an enlightened combination of all sorts of specialist dogmas? It is my contention that if you wish to succeed in the gardening life, there is only one true path to salvation-be a realistic gardener. | <urn:uuid:d97416b1-bd20-4102-91ca-8554aa22f088> | 2013-05-21T10:07:06Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Wellington boy killed in rollover, others injured
A 4-year-old Wellington boy was killed in a rollover at the top of Fairview Canyon on Saturday night.
Braxton Bird was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Bird was not restrained in his booster seat properly and was ejected from the vehicle, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred in Emery County on State Road 264 at milepost five at 8:30 p.m. The location is approximately seven miles east of Fairview.
Five people were in the truck, all of Wellington, including three adults and two children. The other child, a two-year-old female, was also not properly restrained in her carseat, but stayed in the vehicle and suffered only minor injuries. She was transported to Sanpete Valley Hospital to be checked out, UHP reported.
The driver of the Ford Ranger pickup was traveling eastbound on the roadway when it came into a sharp curve on the roadway. The male driver was not able to stay in his lane and ran off the roadway at the end of the curve. The vehicle rolled down a steep embankment and came to rest on its side in a shallow part of Electric Lake.
The male driver and front female passenger were also ejected from the vehicle, with injuries ranging from a broken leg to head trauma. Both were taken by ambulance to Sanpete Valley Hospital for treatment. Another male passenger was restrained by a seat belt and suffered only minor injuries.
Alcohol is believed to be the main factor in the crash, according to UHP.
The crash is still under investigation and upon completion, will be referred to the Emery County Attorney's Office for screening of possible criminal charges. | <urn:uuid:90287816-5c0a-4408-a6d2-7a8dca87d36e> | 2013-05-21T10:29:07Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Physician Interview Suggestions
Sunbelt Management Associates (SMA) is a contingency physician search firm, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, dedicated to helping physicians find the perfect opportunity nationwide, in the settings they desire. Sunbelt Management Associates was founded in 1984. Mike Lindenberger, Director of Physician Recruitment, has more than eighteen years of recruiting experience.
Tips for Physicians
Interviewers may probe physician’s attitude with questions like "describe your philosophy of working with nurses." Obviously the candidate who has thought about issues in advance will have an advantage. Preparing appropriate questions is a good use of prep time. Questions about call requirements, research projects, and continuing education are all reasonable for physicians
Tips for Nurses
Despite excellent technical skills, some nurses do not interview with confidence. To master an interview, a candidate should prepare brief anecdotes that demonstrate competence, judgment and professionalism.Appropriate questions about a nursing position might include: "What is the career path?" and "how are shifts and overtime determined?"
Tips for Allied Health Professionals
Being unprepared can wreck an interview. Job-seeking technicians should get ready to talk about themselves and their accomplishments articulately, even if talking about themselves is a challenge. "Practice," It's never okay to complain about another job or employer,. A gap in employment or a termination should be discussed succinctly, with an emphasis on how you've learned or grew from the experience. The employer wants to see good manners: make an effort not to smell of overly strong perfume or cigarette smoke, she said. You should always meet the interviewers' eyes, shake hands and smile. Asking a few, well-chosen questions will distinguish a candidate. The questions depend on the position, but the stronger candidate will display interest by asking, for example, about the hiring process, and why the position is open.
Four very common mistakes candidates make during interviews are
- Asking the wrong questions
- Talking too much
- Being unprepared
- Failing to make eye contact
Notes:Allow the prospective employer to broach salary and benefits. Have your spouse join you for the visit, however, unless invited, he / she should not be present for the interview portion.
Questions you as a physician, may ask your prospective employer during the interview:
- What is the length of time the practice has been in existence?
- How many patients per day will I be expected to treat?
- How many new patients did the practice see last year?
- What are the payor and age mixes of the practice?
- Why are you seeking to add a physician at this time?
- What are the short and long term plans for the group?
- Will partnership be offered? If so, when? And, will there be a buy-in?
- What are the current office hours?
- What will be my call schedule?
- What has the office overhead percentage been for the past several years?
Questions typically asked the physician during an interview by the prospective employer:
- Why do you want to join our practice?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- Why do you want to move to this area?
- Where do you see medicine moving in the next ten years?
- How has your residency prepared you clinically?
- Do you have any interest in teaching or research?
- What are your salary requirements?
- What are your short term and long term goals?
- Why should we hire you? | <urn:uuid:6df0232b-0216-4674-b12b-2c4fbe8b7ad8> | 2013-05-21T10:07:36Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Ol' Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital,
near death. The family called their preacher to stand with them.
As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ol' Fred's condition appeared
to deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write
The pastor lovingly
handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred used his last
bit of energy to scribble a note, then he died. The preacher thought
it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in
his jacket pocket.
At the funeral,
as he was finishing the message, he realized that he was wearing
the same jacket that he was wearing when Ol' Fred died. He said,
"You know, Ol' Fred handed me a note just before he died. I
haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word
of inspiration there for us all." He opened the note, and read,
"Hey, you're standing on my oxygen tube!"
One day, shortly after the birth of their new baby, the mother had
to go out to run some errands.
The proud papa
stayed home to watch his wonderful new son. Soon after the mother
left, the baby started to cry.The father did everything he could
think of doing, but the baby wouldn't stop crying.
dad got so worried that he decided to take the infant to the doctor.
After the doctor listened to the father relate all that he had done
to get the baby to stop crying, the doctor began to examine the
baby's ears, chest and then down to the diaper area.
When he undid
the diaper, he found that the diaper was indeed full."Here's

Move over Matilda and Madeline, there's a charming miniature heroine ready to make her mark! Her name is Alice-Miranda--and she's full of spunk!
Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennigton-Jones can't wait to start boarding school. When she arrives at Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy for Proper Young Ladies, the adventure begins . . . only not quite as Alice-Miranda expects. The minute she sets foot on the school's manicured grounds, she senses that something is wrong: Miss Grimm, the headmistress, is nowhere to be seen, the gardens have no flowers, and a mysterious stranger seems to be hiding out on the premises.
But that's not all. Some girls are mean and spoiled, like Alethea Goldsworthy. Can Alice-Miranda defeat Alethea in one of three difficult tests she must pass to remain at school? Will she discover Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale's big secret—and make things right? Well, if anyone can, it's spunky Alice-Miranda!

I’m still following the Assembly Primer for Hackers from Vivek Ramachandran of SecurityTube in preparation for Penetration Testing with BackTrack. In this review I’ll cover data types and how to move bytes, numbers, pointers and strings between labels and registers.
Variables (data/labels) are defined in the .data segment of your assembly program. Here are some of the available data types you’ll commonly use.

Moving numbers in assembly
Introduction to mov
This is the mov family of operations. By appending b, w or l you can choose to move 8 bits, 16 bits or 32 bits of data. To demonstrate these operations, we’ll be using the example above.
Moving a byte into a register
movb $0, %al
This will move the integer 0 into the lower 8 bits of the EAX register.
Moving a word into a register
movw $10, %ax
This will move the integer 10 into the lower 16 bits of the EAX register.
Moving a word into a register
movl $20, %eax
This will move the integer 20 into the 32-bit EAX register.
Moving a word into a label
movw $50, Int16
This will move the integer 50 into the 16-bit label Int16.
Moving a label into a register
movl Int32, %eax
This will move the contents of the Int32 label into the 32-bit EAX register.
Moving a register into a label
movb %al, ByteLocation
This will move the contents of the 8-bit AL register into the 8-bit ByteLocation label.
Accessing memory locations (using pointers)
In C we have the concept of pointers. A pointer is simply a variable that points to a location in memory. Typically that memory location holds some data that is important to us and that’s why we’re keeping a pointer to it so we can access the data later. This same concept can be achieved in assembly.
Moving a label’s memory address into a register (creating a pointer)
movl $Int32, %eax
This will move the memory location of the Int32 label into the EAX register. In effect the EAX register is now a pointer to the data held by the Int32 label. Notice that we use movl because memory locations are 4 bytes. Also notice that to access the memory location of a label you prepend the $ character.
Dereferencing a pointer (accessing the contents of a memory address)
Moving a word into a dereferenced location
movl $9, (%eax)
This will move the integer 9 into the memory location held in EAX. In other words, if this were C, %eax would be considered a pointer and (%eax) would be the way we dereference that pointer to change the contents of the location it points to. The equivalent in C would like something like this:
int Int32 = 2; int *eax; eax = &Int32; *eax = 9;
The only difference in the C example is that we had to define eax as an int pointer before we could copy the address of Int32. In assembly we can just copy the address of Int32 directly into the EAX register, circumventing the need for an additional variable. But line 4 of this C example is the equivalent of the assembly example shown above.
So to clarify one more time, EAX does not change at all in this example; EAX still points to the same location! However, the data at that location has changed. So if EAX contains the location of the Int32 label, then Int32 now contains 9. So it’s Int32 that has changed, not EAX.
Notice that we use the parentheses to access the memory location stored in the register (dereference the pointer).
Moving a dereferenced value into a register
movl (%eax), %ebx
In effect the EBX register is now a pointer to the data held by EAX. Notice that to access the memory location of the register we’re again enclosing the register name in parentheses.
Moving strings in assembly
I can imagine that reading this you might be thinking, “hey, strings are just bytes of data so why can’t I just move them using the same instructions I just learned?” And the answers to that questions is you can! The problem is that strings are oftentimes much larger. A string might be 1 byte, 5 bytes, or 100 bytes. And none of mov instructions discussed above cover anything larger than 4 bytes. So let’s discuss the string operations that are available to alleviate the pains of copying large strings of data.
A key difference between the standard mov operations and the string series of movs, stos and lods operations is the number of operands. With mov, you specify the source and destination via 2 operands. However, with the movs instructions, the source and destination addresses are placed into the ESI and EDI registers respectively. And with stos and lods, the operations interact directly with the EAX register. This will become more clear with some examples.
The DF flag
DF stands for direction flag. This is a flag stored in the CPU that determines whether to increment or decrement a string’s memory address when string operations are called. When DF is 0 (cleared) the addresses are incremented. When DF is 1 (set) the addresses are decremented. In our examples the DF flag will always be cleared.
The usefulness of the DF flag will make more sense in the examples.
Clearing the DF flag
DF is set to 0. Addresses are incremented where applicable.
Setting the DF flag
DF is set to 1. Addresses are decremented where applicable.
In the example below, the following variables have been defined:
.data HelloWorldString: .asciz "Hello World of Assembly!" .bss .lcomm Destination, 100
movs: Moving a string from one memory location to another memory location
source: %esi; should contain a memory address where the data to be copied resides; the data at this address is not modified, but the address stored in the %esi register is incremented or decremented according to the DF flag destination: %edi; should contain a memory address where the data will be copied to; after copying, the address stored in the %edi register is incremented or decremented according to the DF flag
movsb: move a single byte
movsw: move 2 bytes
movsl: move 4 bytes
movl $HelloWorldString, %esi movl $Destination, %edi movsb movsw movsl
In this example, we first move the address of HelloWorldString into the ESI register (the source string). Then we move the address of Destination into EDI (the destination buffer).
When movsb is called, it tells the CPU to move 1 byte from the source to the destination, so the ‘H’ is copied to the first byte in the Destination label. However, that is not the only thing that happens during this operation. You may have noticed that I pointed out how the address stored in the %esi and %edi registers are both incremented or decremented according to the DF flag. Since the DF flag is cleared, both %esi and %edi are incremented by 1 byte.
But why is this useful? Well, what it means is that the next string operation to be called will start copying from the 2nd byte of the source string instead of the first byte. In other words, rather than copying the ‘H’ a second time, we’ll start by copying the ‘e’ in the HelloWorldString instead. This is what makes the movs series of operations far more useful than the mov operations when dealing with strings.
So, as you might imagine, when calling movsw the next 2 bytes are copied and Destination now holds “Hel”. And finally the movsl operation copies 4 bytes into Destination, which makes it “Hello W”.
Of course, the memory locations held in both %esi and %edi have now been incremented by 7 bytes each. So the final values are..
%esi: $HelloWorldString+7 %edi: $Destination+7 HelloWorldString: "Hello World of Assembly!" Destination: "Hello W"
lods: Moving a string from a memory location into the EAX register
source: %esi; should contain a memory address where the data to be copied resides; the data at this address is not modified, but the address stored in the %esi register is incremented or decremented according to the DF flag destination: %eax; the contents of this register are discarded because the data is copied directly into the register, NOT to any memory address residing in the register; no incrementing or decrementing occurs because the destination is a register and not a memory location
lodsb: move a single byte
lodsw: move 2 bytes
lodsl: move 4 bytes
stos: Moving a string from the EAX register to a memory location
source: %eax; the contents of this register are copied, NOT the contents of any memory address residing in the register; no incrementing or decrementing occurs because the source is a register and not a memory location destination: %edi; should contain a memory address where the data will be copied to; after copying, the address stored in the %edi register is incremented or decremented according to the DF flag
stosb: move a single byte
stosw: move 2 bytes
stosl: move 4 bytes
rep: Repeating an operation so you can move strings more easily
This will continue executing the movsb operation and decrementing the ECX register until it equals 0. So if you wanted to copy a string in its entirety, you could follow this pseudo-code:
* set ESI to the memory address of the source string * set EDI to the memory address of the destination string * set ECX to the length of the source string * clear the DF flag so ESI and EDI will be incremented for each call to movsb * call rep movsb
movl $HelloWorldString, %esi movl $DestinationUsingRep, %edi movl $25, %ecx # because HelloWorldString contains 24 characters + a null terminator cld rep movsb
Here we have movsb being called 25 times (the value of ECX). Because movsb increments both the ESI and EDI register you don’t have to concern yourself with the memory handling at all. So at the end of the example, the values are..
%esi: $HelloWorldString+25 %edi: $Destination+25 %ecx: 0 DF: 0 HelloWorldString: "Hello World of Assembly!" Destination: "Hello World of Assembly!"
More to Come
I hope you enjoyed reviewing data types and mov operations. Stay tuned for more assembly tips! | <urn:uuid:64f45300-486b-4e99-b99a-aa17192aec04> | 2013-05-21T10:35:38Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Most software and systems are vastly underutilized - usually because of a lack of training and knowledge about all of the software's features. Closing this gap can increase efficiency and reduce the need to bring in more software. This helps simplify your technology infrastructure and improves reliability. Examine your existing systems and ask how well are they being used - are they underutilized?
First, is the system working correctly? Are there technical issues that prevent it from operating properly? Fixing these issues will make the system easier to use, increase confidence in the system, improve reliability, and make employees more willing to investigate advanced features.
Do employees know how they are expected to use the system at your company? Has the system been configured to your company's processes or do your processes need to be modified to take advantage of system features? Have standardized processes and procedures for using the system been communicated to all employees? Is more governance needed?
Do employees know how to use the system properly? Is more training needed? Are refresher courses needed?
What features are available that aren't being used? Can these features help you solve business issues? How are other companies using this system in their operations? Have they solved problems that your company is experiencing and, if so, how did they do that?
There will be times when a specialized system is needed to meet a specific need, but look to existing systems first. Leveraging your existing systems can significantly increase your efficiency, increase reliability, and reduce the need to bring in new solutions. | <urn:uuid:e0df3855-25e7-4a05-992f-4411b7f51cae> | 2013-05-21T10:21:20Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

The "Apprentice" is a popular show, I am told. The premise is ridiculous. I understand it is supposed to be a "game", but imagine a successful organization that is designed such that the individuals have incentives to undermine each other? It's like one of those Star Trek parallel universe episodes. Lip service abounds, but so much for teamwork.
In my experience, items 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 are largely absent in most large-cap organizations' leadership. I think so many of today's "leaders" have been imitating bad role models.
Can you say "I smoked marijuana, but I never inhaled"? (What does that even mean?)

Radmind Assistant 1.0 (Mac)
A suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. For Mac OS X, there's also a graphical interface. At its core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change. Each managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads. This allows, for example, the operating system to be described separately from applications. | <urn:uuid:b79d99d0-6871-4aba-bc5e-9c8a753924b9> | 2013-05-21T10:15:03Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

's Nseries line of mobile phones has been expanded
with the addition of three new phones, all of which are designed to encourage customers to shoot and share video and photos.
At the very high-end is the N93, a phone designed around video capture. Users can shoot MPEG-4 VGA videos at 30 frames per second and later burn the videos to DVD on their PCs using Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 software for Windows XP.
The Finnish manufacturer also introduced the N73, which features a 3.2 megapixel camera, integrated stereo speakers, digital music player, and FM radio. Both the N73 and N93 are based on the Symbian OS and run S60 3rd Edition Software.
At the low end, Nokia introduced the N72, with a 2 megapixel camera, music player, and FM radio. The phone is designed for markets including the Middle East, China, Indonesia, and Russia and operates on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) networks.
All three of the phones come preloaded with software that allows users to easily upload photos to Flickr, the photo sharing Web site that was bought by Yahoo last year. | <urn:uuid:2f488265-67e0-4bbe-89e3-33bcbfa1470b> | 2013-05-21T10:15:03Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Mark Duggan, 29, was shot dead by police on August 4 last year in Tottenham, north London.
He was killed moments after getting out of a taxi which had been stopped by armed police.
Officers have said Mr Duggan raised a handgun he was hiding in his jacket.
Today, a jury at London's Snaresbrook Crown Court heard that Mr Duggan was looking to sell cannabis and had sought the help of his friend, Kevin Hutchinson-Foster.
Hutchinson-Foster is on trial accused of supplying Mr Duggan with the gun he is alleged to have been wielding before he was shot.
Hutchinson-Foster, a cannabis user with convictions for possession of cocaine and heroin with intent to supply, said he regularly used cannabis but offered to get involved with Mr Duggan on a bigger deal.
The defendant said that in July last year he had a conversation with Mr Duggan and a friend called "Mo" about the deal.
Asked by his barrister, Stuart Denney, what the thrust of the conversation was, he said: "They knew somebody who was cultivating cannabis and wanted to know if I knew anybody who was interested in buying it.
"I said if they got me a sample I would give it to my dealer to see if he was interested."
Hutchinson-Foster, 30, of no fixed address, is charged with "selling or transferring a prohibited firearm" to Mr Duggan between July 28 and August 5 last year.
He denies passing the modified BBM Bruni Model 92 handgun to Mr Duggan, contrary to the Firearms Act 1968. | <urn:uuid:6039fdc5-cdc8-43d1-9b1c-f858a613e15c> | 2013-05-21T10:16:39Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Mrs. Barone says that Jason filled her in on what's been going on, and that she gets why Tony is upset. She confesses that she and her husband purposely kept Jason in the dark about how the business worked, so she deserves the blame for what has happened. Tony doesn't think she's involved, but she begs Tony not to let anything happen to Jason. Paulie watches her suspiciously. Tony is confused, and says that nothing will happen to Jason. Mrs. Barone isn't convinced, and begs Tony to hurt her in place of her son, if that's what needs to happen. Paulie starts tearing up in the background and leaves the room. Mrs. Barone asks Tony for his word that nothing will happen, and Tony gives it. Out in the hallway, Paulie wipes tears from his face. I think anyone can see that this isn't going to end well for a number of people.
Christopher helps Tony put his shirt on to prepare for going home. Bobby hands Tony an envelope of money, saying that he had an especially good week, but failing to mention that his good week was the product of shooting Treach. Silvio, Christopher, Carmela, Bobby, Vito, Meadow, and Janice walk along as Tony is wheeled down the hall by an orderly. AJ must have had to work the swing shift. Tony makes them stop by Schwinn's room, where things look pretty fucking dire. Christopher asks if Tony wants to say goodbye. Tony checks out all the tubes attached to his friend's body and decides to pass it up.
As they enter the hospital lobby, the paramedic approaches with an envelope of cash. Tony tells him not to do it there, and then decides that they shouldn't do it all, and refuses the envelope. Christopher is incredulous, but Tony commands the orderly to roll him on. As they wait for their car, Tony sits on the curb in his wheelchair and marvels at humanity, and all of the everyday noises most of us take for granted. Janice says that she's going to get her car, but Tony grabs her hand and pulls her back. He says emotionally that he's supposed to be dead, but now he's alive, and that he's "the luckiest guy in the whole world." He vows that, after this, every day is a gift. Janice agrees, but just as quickly leaves to get her car, clearly not all that affected by Tony's revelation. | <urn:uuid:c327a6b7-efce-44c0-9846-ff290ec53820> | 2013-05-21T10:07:37Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Pants Manor. Tony has come over to deliver the bad news to Joey, who appears to be fairly shocked when he hears it. Joey invites him in for coffee, and they walk back into the kitchen, where we're informed that Justin is going to be mostly okay. Or he will be after the years of rehab and the learning to speak all over again, that is. Tony glosses right over this happy news to provide the somewhat unnecessary detail that Pie was still alive after the fire, but was burned so badly that she had to be put out of her misery. "What sick fuck would do something like that?" wonders Joey, who's busy at the stove making scrambled eggs. "Right," replies Tony. "What sick fuck?" That gets Joey's attention, and he looks up to see what Tony is talking about. "It's funny about God, and fate, and shit like that," continues Tony. "The horse gets better, we take out two hundred grand in insurance on the race coming up, and suddenly there's a fire." Joey insists that the fire must have been an accident, but Tony isn't buying it. He even asks if Joey has been talking to the arsonist they used to burn Vesuvio in the first season, but surprisingly does not mention the garbage truck fires Joey started himself in his Sopranos debut.
Joey finally snaps, and starts shouting to defend himself. In his view, the horse was sick all the time, and was only going to get worse, so the $200,000 payday is a "bolt from the blue." "Jesus Christ," spits Tony. "You did it. You cooked that horse alive." "No. I. Did. Not!" shouts Joey, "but so what? It's a fucking animal. It's a hundred grand apiece. My kid's in the fucking hospital. I don't hear you complaining when I bring you a nice fat envelope. You don't care where that comes from!" It's a good point, but it only makes Tony angrier. Joey, however, doesn't know when to quit. "What are you, a vegetarian?" he asks. "You eat beef and sausage by the fucking carload." Uh oh. That was not a smart thing to say. As always with Tony, meat is the final straw. He snarls and punches Joey right in the face, and we're off!
Round one of the fight goes to Tony, as the punch catches Joey off-guard. The little guy quickly retaliates, however, by grabbing the frying pan full of eggs and swinging for the fences. Incidentally, I knew this wasn't going to end well the moment he grabbed that pan. If there's one thing this show has made clear, it's that nobody hits a Soprano and survives. Joey obviously knows this as well, which is why he trades up from the frying pan to a butcher's knife. Tony pins his arm against the cabinets, however, and Joey is forced to scramble for another method of attack. He fumbles along the countertop, finally grabbing a can of Raid, which he sprays right into Tony's eyes. Ow. He then knees Tony in the crotch and tries to run for the back door. Tony dives on top of him, however, and starts bashing Joey's head into the tile floor. "She was a beautiful, innocent creature. What'd she ever do to you?" he yells as he wraps his hands around Joey's throat. Hmm. Is he talking about Pie, or Tracee? Joey's struggles slowly begin to cease, but Tony yells, "You fucking killed her," and continues to beat Joey's head against the floor. Finally, Joey lies still, and Tony stumbles off of him, grimacing at the pain in his eyes. He dashes to the sink to throw up, then splashes cold water against his face as he tries to catch his breath. Finally, after much swearing and grunting, he reaches for his cell phone. | <urn:uuid:22602d7b-2dca-40b2-b860-05f66f39a157> | 2013-05-21T10:37:24Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Haha! It's funny you say that because When drawing on paper, I habitually reach for 'Ctrl+Z' when I mess up, only to slap my forehead at my own brief moment of stupidity. XD
Thank you very much for the vote, it is EXTREMELY appreciated.

I have no idea what that extra valve you describe is or is for, but I can tell you why your T/P valve on the water heater is leaking. You need a thermal expansion tank in the cold water line. The pressure regulator valve on the supply line has a check valve built into it. When the water heater heats, this causes the water in the tank to expand. In homes with no pressure regulator, this expansion is absorbed by the city water main. but in your case, the PRV stops this from happening. This build pressure in you water heater to the point that it trips the T/P valve. A thermal expansion tank absorbs this expansion. Perhaps one of the professional plumbers can identify that other "valve" or whatever it is, but I tend to think it can be eliminated. | <urn:uuid:76b2c59d-708c-4096-b65d-92e85b06019d> | 2013-05-21T10:09:17Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

There are three engineers in a car; an electrical engineer, a chemical engineer and a Microsoft engineer.
Suddenly the car just stops by the side of the road, and the three engineers look at each other wondering what could be wrong. The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the car and trying to trace where a fault might have occurred.
The chemical engineer, not knowing much about cars, suggests that maybe the fuel is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere.
Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes up with a suggestion, “Why don’t we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows again, and maybe it’ll work !?” | <urn:uuid:c9d27394-6027-4bb2-80a1-d091dd733341> | 2013-05-21T10:07:59Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Drake is being sued by Ericka Lee, who claims to be both his ex-girlfriend and the voice on the other end of the phone call in the rapper's emotional 'Take Care' hit, 'Marvin's Room.' Lee filed a suit in a Los Angeles court claiming she was excluded from sharing co-writer royalties for the drunk dial-inspired song.
According to the court papers, Lee and Drizzy shared both a romantic and professional relationship from early 2010 until mid-2011, calling it quits shortly after the June 2011 release of 'Marvin's Room.' Lee alleged that during that time, the two collaborated on a collection of song lyrics and poems, and that Drake agreed to split the 'Marvin's Room' earnings with her as a co-writer.
Furthermore, the accuser claims that she was originally set to sing the hook and recite an opening monologue for that track, which never came to fruition. In exchange for her contributions to the song, Drake reportedly offered Lee 2 percent of the publishing royalties, and later raised the offer to 4-5 percent along with a $50,000 settlement.
While there was no contract or written agreement documenting said business arrangements, Lee cited several text message conversations as her proof. Reportedly, Drake sent a text that read, "U basically made that song."
Apparently 5 percent royalties and $50K isn't enough for Lee and her five-word text message contract. She is seeking a co-writing credit on the song, as she sues for an undisclosed amount for damages. | <urn:uuid:7be38ea8-c03a-498a-88c1-31ba1d8db52d> | 2013-05-21T09:59:16Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Two teenagers planned to blow up their school in a massacre timed to coincide with the anniversary of a massacre at a US school, a court has heard.
Matthew Swift, 18, and his friend, Ross McKnight, 16, of Denton, Greater Manchester, deny conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions.
Manchester Crown Court heard they plotted to blow up Audenshaw School 10 years after the Columbine tragedy.
A teacher and 12 students died at a school in Columbine, Colorado, in 1999.
The court heard the pair became obsessed with the massacre on 20 April 1999, and wanted to emulate the actions of the two killers - Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris.
Their two targets were a shopping complex, Crown Point North, and Audenshaw School where Mr McKnight was still a student and Mr Swift a former pupil, the court heard.
Audenshaw School sign
The jury was told the boys planned to murder teachers and pupils
The pair were arrested in March.
Peter Wright QC, prosecuting, said to the jury: "It is the prosecution case that these two young men sat in the dock had planned to copy and emulate the actions of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, here in the UK."
The court heard Mr McKnight and Mr Swift had agreed to detonate a bomb at Crown Point North as a diversion before driving to their school, murdering teachers and pupils and then killing themselves.
Mr Wright said they were also fascinated by the Oklahoma city bombings, carried out by Timothy McVeigh in 1995, which resulted in the deaths of 168 people and injuries to 450 others.
Mr McKnight wrote an essay about a fictional massacre at a school in Audenshaw in which ten people died and hundreds were hurt.
Mr Wright said: "The 10 people (were) killed by the one person who had some sort of grudge against the school or some sort of grudge against people who went to school.
"The evidence, you may think, this was not a piece of creative writing, this was an explanation of the state of mind of that young man."
We will walk into school and at the end of it no one will walk out alive ...after we have finished in Audenshaw we will have to kill ourselves there and then
Ross McKnight's diary entry
Eighteen months after the essay was written, Mr McKnight rang a friend when he was drunk to tell her he loved her and that "he couldn't wait until April 20 - the 10th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre".
The jury also heard the defendants wanted to adopt the personas of the Columbine killers by using their nicknames or alter-egos.
Entries from Mr McKnight's diary included talk of "Project Rainbow's" official start day in November 2007.
In the diary he spoke of the "greatest massacre ever" and killing thousands of people.
"We will walk into school and at the end of it no one will walk out alive... after we have finished in Audenshaw we will have to kill ourselves there and then."
Mr Swift had been given an "exclusion order" banning him from Crown Point, which sparked his resentment, the jury was told.
Crown Point, Denton
Crown Point North was one of the boys' targets, the prosecution said
After police arrested him they found a plan of his former school and a manual with instructions on ingredients to use in explosives.
A diary was also recovered in which Mr Swift talked of his unhappiness and railed against life in general, Mr Wright told the jury.
It contained notes on the Columbine massacre and pictures of Klebold and Harris taken from CCTV footage of their attack, which Mr Swift described as a "beautiful image".
Photographs of two other people who carried out school massacres - Finnish student Pekka-Eric Auvinen and Virginia Tech killer Seung-Hui Cho - also featured.
Swift wrote: "I do not consider myself to be normal, come to think of it I do not think of myself as human."
Another entry read: "I will complete Project Rainbow, I will show no mercy... I will make history."
The trial continues. | <urn:uuid:6bd5eced-69b1-4989-8c2e-52a5e96921d2> | 2013-05-21T10:08:01Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Weld Resigns Position as Student Council President
Successor Will Be Chosen Monday Night
Edric A. Weld, Jr. '46 announced his resignation as president of the Student Council yesterday afternoon. The resignation, to become effective Monday night, was because of "academic Pressure."
Weld's successor will probably be chosen by the Student Council at its Monday night Meeting. All Juniors and Seniors now serving on the Council are eligible.
However, theses and divisionals will probably keep most Seniors from accepting the post. Already Ray A. Goldberg '48, treasurer of the Council and considered by many a likely successor to the presidency, has declared that his studies and other extra-curricular activities would compel him to refuse nomination to the post.
Hence the race will probably be among the junior members of the Council, though one or two Seniors may be in the running.
Weld was elected to the Council in May, 1946. In February, 1947, he was elected treasurer, and in June of the same year he won the presidency. | <urn:uuid:2924d1c2-57f0-4c1d-9488-b4283f4e8f82> | 2013-05-21T10:29:03Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Family members of murder victim Madeline J. Brisson, whose body was discovered in a freezer at her home on Gold Star Highway in Groton two years ago, wept as her killer was sentenced to 28½ years in prison Friday in New London Superior Court.
Luis Otero, 52, had pleaded no contest to murder after initially notifying the court that he wanted a trial. At his sentencing, he chose not to make a statement to Judge Patrick J. Clifford. His attorney, Bruce A. Sturman, simply noted that the sentence was "agreed upon" and asked the judge to impose it.
Brisson's mother and sisters also remained silent, though they had told a probation officer during a presentencing interview that Brisson's death haunts them and that they continue to experience unspeakable grief and anguish.
Ethel Rogers, a close friend of Brisson's, said Otero gave no indication that he was sorry.
"I didn't see any remorse at all from him," Rogers said.
Brisson, 50, and Otero had dated, and he was living with her at 1184 Gold Star Highway to help her cover the rent, according to police. He turned himself in on March 7, 2010, saying he had put a body in the freezer. Brisson's body was frozen solid, according to police, and the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner could not immediately determine the cause and manner of her death.
The office later ruled that Brisson was a homicide victim who had died of blunt traumatic injuries and asphyxia.
Prosecutor Paul J. Narducci said the state's case had some weaknesses due to the nature of Brisson's death and that Otero could have mounted a "colorable defense" on the cause of death. Under the circumstances, Narducci said, the sentence was fair, though he was aware the victim's family was not pleased.
Judge Clifford said his heart went out to the family.
"There's no number that seems fair to you," Clifford said. "At 52 years of age, this might turn out to be a life sentence."
As judicial marshals led Otero back to the courthouse lockup, someone among the victim's family members uttered, "Rot."
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Otero told a friend that five days earlier, Brisson had told him she was having Otero's daughter move into the house and that he had to move out, implying that the women were going to be lovers.
Otero told the friend that he "'flipped out,'" the warrant said. "... This caused (the friend) to ask Otero if Madeline was 'still with us.' Otero replied, 'No.'"
Otero called his sister the same day and relayed a similar story, the warrant said.
He told his sister he was going to turn himself in to police and that he was "having nightmares about what he had done," the warrant said. | <urn:uuid:493677a7-d24f-4d6f-97a5-16bb5bc9aa02> | 2013-05-21T10:08:41Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogs of the ordinary trigonometric, or circular, functions. The basic hyperbolic functions are the hyperbolic sine "sinh" (typically pronounced /ˈsɪntʃ/ or /ˈʃaɪn/), and the hyperbolic cosine "cosh" (typically pronounced /ˈkɒʃ/), from which are derived the hyperbolic tangent "tanh" (typically pronounced /ˈtæntʃ/ or /ˈθæn/), etc., in analogy to the derived trigonometric functions. The inverse hyperbolic functions are the area hyperbolic sine "arsinh" (also called "asinh", or sometimes by the misnomer of "arcsinh") and so on.
Just as the points (cos t, sin t) form a circle with a unit radius, the points (cosh t, sinh t) form the right half of the equilateral hyperbola. Hyperbolic functions occur in the solutions of some important linear differential equations, for example the equation defining a catenary, and Laplace's equation in Cartesian coordinates. The latter is important in many areas of physics, including electromagnetic theory, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and special relativity.
Hyperbolic functions were introduced in the 18th century by the Swiss mathematician Johann Heinrich Lambert.
The hyperbolic functions are:
Via complex numbers the hyperbolic functions are related to the circular functions as follows:
where is the imaginary unit defined as .
Note that, by convention, sinh2x means (sinhx)2, not sinh(sinhx); similarly for the other hyperbolic functions when used with positive exponents. Another notation for the hyperbolic cotangent function is , though cothx is far more common.
Hyperbolic sine and cosine satisfy the identity
which is similar to the Pythagorean trigonometric identity.
It can also be shown that the area under the graph of cosh x from A to B is equal to the arc length of cosh x from A to B.
For a full list of integrals of hyperbolic functions, see list of integrals of hyperbolic functions
In the above expressions, C is called the constant of integration.
It is possible to express the above functions as Taylor series:
A point on the hyperbola xy = 1 with x > 1 determines a hyperbolic triangle in which the side adjacent to the hyperbolic angle is associated with cosh while the side opposite is associated with sinh. However, since the point (1,1) on this hyperbola is a distance √2 from the origin, the normalization constant 1/√2 is necessary to define cosh and sinh by the lengths of the sides of the hyperbolic triangle.
and the property that cosh t ≥ 1 for all t.
The hyperbolic functions are periodic with complex period 2πi (πi for hyperbolic tangent and cotangent).
The parameter t is not a circular angle, but rather a hyperbolic angle which represents twice the area between the x-axis, the hyperbola and the straight line which links the origin with the point (cosh t, sinh t) on the hyperbola.
The function cosh x is an even function, that is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
The function sinh x is an odd function, that is −sinh x = sinh(−x), and sinh 0 = 0.
The hyperbolic functions satisfy many identities, all of them similar in form to the trigonometric identities. In fact, Osborn's rule states that one can convert any trigonometric identity into a hyperbolic identity by expanding it completely in terms of integral powers of sines and cosines, changing sine to sinh and cosine to cosh, and switching the sign of every term which contains a product of 2, 6, 10, 14, ... sinhs. This yields for example the addition theorems
the "double angle formulas"
and the "half-angle formulas"
The derivative of sinh x is cosh x and the derivative of cosh x is sinh x; this is similar to trigonometric functions, albeit the sign is different (i.e., the derivative of cos x is −sin x).
The Gudermannian function gives a direct relationship between the circular functions and the hyperbolic ones that does not involve complex numbers.
The graph of the function a cosh(x/a) is the catenary, the curve formed by a uniform flexible chain hanging freely under gravity.
From the definitions of the hyperbolic sine and cosine, we can derive the following identities:
These expressions are analogous to the expressions for sine and cosine, based on Euler's formula, as sums of complex exponentials.
Since the exponential function can be defined for any complex argument, we can extend the definitions of the hyperbolic functions also to complex arguments. The functions sinh z and cosh z are then holomorphic.
Relationships to ordinary trigonometric functions are given by Euler's formula for complex numbers: | <urn:uuid:34eefbfb-968b-4240-9caa-0182a3ca0559> | 2013-05-21T09:59:49Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Ponty Chadha's financial transactions have been under the scanner for four months
The Delhi-based intelligence and criminal investigation unit of the Income-Tax Department on Wednesday conducted searches at nearly 20 places in different parts of the city and Uttar Pradesh in connection with suspected tax evasion by companies associated with liquor baron and multiplex businessman Gurdeep Singh “Ponty” Chadha.
During a search at the popular Centrestage Mall in Noida, owned by the Chadha Group, a team is learnt to have come across a “very large” chest allegedly containing huge amounts of cash. The chest was opened late in the evening.
The search and seizure operation was the culmination of a four-month-long tracking of the financial transactions of Mr. Chadha and his close relatives and associates.
Teams carried out simultaneous searches at several places, including the 13-acre farmhouse-cum-residence of Mr. Chadha in Chhatarpur, the residence of his son-in-law Gurjeet Kochar in New Friends Colony and other places, including Karol Bagh and Chandni Chowk here. Searches were also conducted at an office in Moradabad and other premises of Mr. Chadha in Uttar Pradesh.
When a team reached the residence of Mr. Gurjeet Kochar, he allegedly tried to flee with two bags along with another person.
Money laundering suspected
In the searches, it was revealed that at least Rs.38 crore was allegedly “round-tripped” by Mr. Chadha through his son-in-law Gurjeet Kochar via the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The team suspects that the money was somehow deposited by Mr. Kochar in a bank account opened in the UAE and sent back to Mr. Chadha through the same account and shown as equity from the UAE.
If the suspicion is found to be true, it would attract money laundering charges apart from violation of the Income-Tax law.
The I-T Department also conducted searches at a Chatarpur farmhouse used by Lalit Kapoor, a former lower-rung government official, who is said to be a close associate of Mr. Chadha.
“Searches at several places are still going on and documents recovered so far will be subsequently studied. Some more persons are under the scanner,” said another official.
Mr. Chadha's group is also into real estate, film distribution, sugar and paper mills, besides running a chain of malls and multiplexes. | <urn:uuid:a803a3a8-8111-4c50-861c-57964601185a> | 2013-05-21T10:31:56Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

CALGARY - Calgary Flames general manager Jay Feaster says the team performed due diligence before signing Colorado forward Ryan O'Reilly to an offer sheet.
The Flames released a statement Friday afternoon after Rogers Sportsnet reported that O'Reilly would have been placed on waivers if the Avalanche hadn't matched Calgary's offer sheet.
Had the deal played out that way, the Flames would have lost a first- and third-round draft pick and O'Reilly, who would have likely been snapped up by another team.
That would have been an unacceptable result for any team, but particularly devastating to an aging Flames squad struggling to get into the Western Conference playoff picture.
According to the NHL's collective agreement, O'Reilly would have had to clear waivers because he played two games in Russia's KHL after the start of the NHL season.
But Feaster said in a statement that the team did its research before drafting the offer sheet for O'Reilly, who led Colorado in scoring with 55 points last season.
"Prior to tendering the offer sheet for Ryan O'Reilly we, as a hockey operations department, examined whether there were any impediments to our successfully securing the services of the player including, but not limited to, his having played in the KHL after the start of the current NHL season," Feaster said.
At issue is Article 13.23 of the collective bargaining agreement, which states that a professional or former professional player that played in a league outside North America after the start of the NHL regular season must clear waivers before playing in the NHL that same season.
An amendment to that article was made in the latest agreement, allowing teams re-signing their own restricted free agents to avoid the waiver process, which means Colorado won't risk losing O'Reilly by matching the offer sheet.
There doesn't appear to be any protection for a team signing a free agent from another club, but Feaster said in the statement that the Flames' interpretation of Article 13.23 "was, and continues to be, different than the NHL's current interpretation."
He also said that the prospect of losing two high draft picks as well as O'Reilly himself is now a moot point since Colorado matched the offer sheet.
The NHL declined to clarify whether O'Reilly would have had to clear waivers if the Avalanche refused to match Calgary's offer sheet.
"We agree with the Flames in the sense that the entire issue has become an academic point," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email to The Canadian Press. "Ryan O'Reilly has signed a contract with the Colorado Avalanche and the contract has been registered. We have nothing further to say on the subject."
Meanwhile, in a move with significantly less drama, the Flames recalled right-winger Brian McGrattan from the Abbotsford Heat on Friday and reassigned Akim Aliu to the American Hockey League affiliate.
Calgary acquired McGrattan on Thursday in a trade with Nashville. The Flames gave up defenceman Joe Piskula in the deal.
McGrattan, who played 34 games for Calgary in the 2009-10 campaign, played two games with the Predators and six games with AHL Milwaukee this season.
Aliu played two games for the Flames on his callup and registered 10 penalty minutes.

The Jew - is the symbol of eternity. ... He is the one who for so long had guarded the prophetic message and transmitted it to all mankind. A people such as this can never disappear. The Jew is eternal. He is the embodiment of eternity."
- Leo Tolstoy
"It is certain that the Jew, if he desired-or if they were driven to it, as the antisemites seem to wish-could now have the ascendancy, nay, literally the supremacy, over Europe; that they are not working or planning for that end is equally sure... The resourcefulness of the modern Jews, both in mind and soul, is extraordinary..."
"One of the great problems with Americans is that - being a decent people - they assume that everyone else is equally decent."
-Rabbi Meir Kahane
"It's discourging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit."
-Sir Noël Coward
"For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d."
-Rabbi Meir Kahane
"It's my experience that folks who have no vices have generally very few virtues."
-Abe Lincoln (unsourced)
"Love has its place, as does hate. Peace has its place, as does war. Mercy has its place, as do cruelty and revenge....Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity.....No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place."
-Rabbi Meir Kahane Zt'l
Quote of the Moment
"...If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And when I am for myself, what am 'I'? And if not now, when?" -Hillel

Plunging into the chaotic world of The Cosmopolitans, Nadia Kalman's debut novel about a family of Russian immigrants living in Connecticut, may give the unprepared reader a case of the bends. With an omnipotent Russian Soul that speaks through a handkerchief, and a daughter, Katya, who suffers from an inexplicable mental illness (she involuntarily channels the voice of Brezhnev), Kalman's comic and subversive riff on Fiddler on the Roof is a far cry from the tidy musical of yore.
Milla, the well-behaved eldest, marries into a posh Manhattan family, but her man-child husband will not deign to get a job. Yana, the polemically feminist middle child, marries a Bangladeshi student who had been boarding with her parents. Katya, the youngest, hooks up with a recent and unstable émigré who shoplifts underwear and speaks in hip-hop patois. Add to this a roving, polyphonic third-person narration and a number of extraneous plot devices, and The Cosmopolitans threatens to lose itself in postmodern cleverness.
Yet through the humanity of the characters and Kalman's warm, well-crafted prose, the novel succeeds in offering the reader a rich and often hilarious portrait of a 21st-century family. "They were in America now," Osip, the father, reflects, "and America was the freedom to admit you didn't know what you were doing." | <urn:uuid:28564ad9-5a95-4963-b624-e4254e0880ed> | 2013-05-21T10:01:55Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Do you know what is a webmaster's biggest nightmare? You're right. It's the hackers. Every now and then, website administrators get to deal with hackers. It's not possible to make your website 100% hack-proof. A small security hole in your entire website's coding can give an experienced hacker access to the backend of your website. And if they manage to crack it down, you may have a hard time figuring out what to do if you didn't have a backup. However, if you do have a backup, you can restore the site. But what's the guarantee that it won't be hacked again?

Solar-powered ion drive asteroid probe set for launch
Not much va-va-voom, but very economical
NASA has confirmed that the "Dawn" space probe to the asteroid belt will indeed launch on Saturday, ending speculation that the mission might be delayed.
After launching, Dawn will spend four years in transit to the asteroids, circling the Sun twice and gaining a "gravity assist" on the way by making a close approach to Mars.
Planned voyage of the Dawn space probe
In 2011, Dawn will go into orbit around Vesta, one of the larger rock-like asteroids in the Belt. After around five months studying Vesta, the probe will depart in early 2012 and complete most of a further circuit round the Sun, finally catching up with Ceres in 2015 and going into orbit around it. Ceres is a large example of the other main asteroid type, thought to be largely icy in composition.
The Dawn mission will be the first to go into orbit around a Belt asteroid, and also the first to orbit two different bodies. This unusual flight profile would be all but impossible, according to NASA, were it not for the spacecraft's innovative propulsion system.
Dawn will lift off from Earth aboard a conventional, chemical Delta II rocket, but its journey to the asteroids will be propelled - apart from the helping hand from Martian gravity - by means of an ion drive.
In an ion drive, thrust is still provided by throwing stuff out of the exhaust just as with a regular rocket. The difference is that rather than chemicals burning and expanding to throw themselves out of a combustion chamber, Dawn's Xenon propellant is squirted out of its back end using electrical power generated by solar panels.
As one might expect, this produces an exceptionally feeble thrust; equivalent to about 0.02lb. The clever bit is that the ion engine achieves this thrust very economically, using only a tiny amount of propellant, because it accelerates the Xenon-plasma exhaust to such a high velocity.
Dawn takes ages to squirt out a given amount of fuel, but when the ion drive finally does so it has achieved much more with it than a chemical rocket could have done. All this makes the multi-asteroid flightplan achievable within the NASA budget.
Now that NASA has addressed some technical concerns, it appears that Dawn's Saturday launch is a go, and then it's just four years until it gets to Vesta. ® | <urn:uuid:dc8a9cff-ba2c-40af-89ae-143c7b188d0a> | 2013-05-21T10:15:28Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

BOSTON — The controversies swirling around the Obama administration — from the IRS targeting of conservative groups to lingering questions about last year's terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya — are threatening to engulf Massachusetts' special U.S. Senate election.
The troubles could make it harder for Republican candidate Gabriel Gomez to turn the focus of the race back on jobs, the economy and budget as he tries to tie his rival and longtime Democratic Congressman Edward Markey to the nation's sluggish recovery.
But the episodes could also prove problematic for Markey if the public begins to blame President Barack Obama — and by extension other Democratic candidates — for the perceived overreach of the administration.
Although Markey has condemned the behavior of the IRS and said the nation should hunt down those responsible for the Benghazi attack, Gomez is trying to link him to the spate of controversies — including the Justice Department's decision to secretly obtain two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press.
"These scandals mark a major abuse of government power and a lack of transparency," Gomez said. "What is Congressman Markey doing about them? Nothing."
Gomez was particularly critical of Markey's comments on questions raised by Republicans about the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Markey told the AP that those responsible for the attack "should either be captured and tried or located and killed."
But Markey has also portrayed Republican hearings into the attack as an attempt by GOP lawmakers to undermine confidence in former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible presidential candidate.
"This is a partisan political circus concocted by House Republicans to go after Hillary Clinton for the 2016 presidential election," Markey said. "I am very interested in getting to the bottom of what happened and to make sure it never happens again."
Gomez, a Cohasset private equity investor and former Navy SEAL, said it's Markey who's trying to play politics with the attack.
"To think it's more important to think about Hillary Clinton's election in 2016 as opposed to getting down to the bottom of the fact that we lost an ambassador and three other people and we still don't have answers on that, it's just despicable," Gomez said during a recent campaign stop.
Gomez also faulted Markey's record on national security issues, saying the longtime congressman "had no idea" how dangerous the world is.
"I know how dangerous a world we live in," Gomez said. "I will take it very seriously when I get down to Washington."
Of all the furors roiling Washington, it is the IRS scandal that could end up doing the most harm to Markey, according to Thomas Whalen, a political scientist at Boston University.
Markey has condemned the tougher treatment IRS officials gave tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
"I think we should find anyone who was responsible and fire them," Markey said. "Whenever any group is targeted and singled out, it is unfair and outrageous."
But Whalen said that if any ties are discovered between the White House and the decision to target conservative groups, the brouhaha could end up tarnishing Democratic candidates much like the Watergate scandal tarnished Republican candidates in the 1970s who had nothing to do with the Nixon-era break-in and cover-up.
"If more information comes out and there can be proven a direct link between the White House and any of these scandals — especially the IRS scandal which seems the most serious of the scandals — that could hurt any Democrat running for office," Whalen said.
More broadly, however, the spate of controversies could end up hurting Gomez by diverting voters' attention away from the campaign at a critical time when the political newcomer needs to be making his case to voters.
"It certainly seems to be sucking all the oxygen out of the room," Whalen said.
Gomez is hoping to get a needed boost of cash and enthusiasm Monday when U.S. Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican and fellow Navy veteran, stops by for a fundraiser and morning rally at a Boston VFW post in the city's Dorchester neighborhood. Tickets to the fundraiser range from $2,600 for lunch to $37,000 per person for a VIP round table.
Markey on Monday is planning to attend a Congressional Badge of Bravery Ceremony at the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston to honor Woburn police Officer Mark Gibbons for his actions after a jewelry store robbery in September 2011.
Markey could also release his tax returns this week.
Markey, who has been under pressure to release the returns, said Friday he would make public his last six years of tax returns "very soon," but he declined to give an exact timetable. Gomez has already released six years of his returns.
Meanwhile, the two campaigns appeared to be making little progress in scheduling debates with a little more than six weeks to go before the election, with both sides accusing the other of foot-dragging.
The special election to fill the Senate seat formerly held by Secretary of State John Kerry is June 25.

Brave Pakistani Girl Making Strong Recovery In England
Hospital director: "We don't think she has significant brain damage."
October 27, 2012LONDON (CNN) -- The father of the Pakistani teen whose love of learning led the Taliban to shoot her expressed gratitude Friday for the help she has received.
"Last night when we met her, there were tears in our eyes and they were out of happiness, out of happiness," Ziauddin Yousufzai told reporters at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham the morning after reuniting with his 15-year-old daughter, Malala.
Malala was flown to the British facility on October 15 -- six days after being shot in the head at point-blank range while on her way home from school.
Yousufzai described his daughter's survival as a "miracle for us" and choked up as he recalled having started at one point to think about planning her funeral.
"She is not just my daughter, she is the daughter of everyone, she is the sister of everyone," Yousufzai said, speaking a day after he, his wife and two sons arrived in Birmingham, England, to see her.
Yousufzai spoke of how Malala had become an education rights activist at an early age, and in so doing had become an international symbol of courage.
He said he is "thankful to the media of Pakistan ... because it is very difficult to stand by a girl who stands up against terrorism. ... They were warned by the terrorists but still they kept on supporting my daughter."
He also expressed gratitude to the British and Pakistani governments, the latter of which is paying for her treatment. And he thanked medical teams in both countries for the care they have provided. "She got the right treatment, at the right place, at the right time," he said.
Yousufzai, who was accompanied at the news conference by Malala's 12-year-old brother, detailed the days since Malala was shot in her hometown of Swat.
She was initially taken to an area hospital, then transferred to a hospital in Peshawar and on to Islamabad, undergoing surgery to remove part of her skull so that her injured brain could swell unimpeded.
By the time Malala was flown to Britain, doctors had placed her in a medically induced coma.
"She was in a very bad condition," her father said.
"She is lucky to be alive," Dr. Dave Rosser, the medical director of University Hospitals Birmingham, told reporters.
But he described Malala's prognosis as "excellent."
She does not appear to have suffered significant brain damage, he said. "There's no real areas of concern, at this stage," he added.
He said she is tired, but "managed a big smile" when she saw her family. The teenager is able to breathe on her own, her father said.
Rosser said Malala can walk "with very little help, just a nurse's arm on her elbow for support, and she "appears to have very good memories of both the last few days of her care and events prior to this incident," he said.
But he said hospital staffers have not asked the girl about the shooting itself. "Asking people to relive the memories increases the chance of post-traumatic stress," he said.
On Friday, the girl was to undergo blood tests and tests on her hearing and vision, "just to make sure that we're not missing anything," since the bullet entered her skull above her left eyebrow, he said.
Rosser said an infection that had troubled doctors last week has cleared.
Once Malala has regained strength, doctors will reconstruct her skull either by replacing the fist-sized piece of bone that they removed in Pakistan, or with a titanium plate, Rosser said.
In addition, doctors may operate on her jaw, he said.
"She shouldn't need to be in hospital for more than a few weeks, maybe a couple of months at the most," he said.
Malala has been thinking about school during her recovery, Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters after meeting with her family Thursday.
"The mission she has taken forward and the education awareness that has spread across Pakistan is all Malala's doing," he said, according to PTV. "Our entire nation should be proud of her love for the soil of her country."
When Malala returns to Pakistan, he said, "we will provide her with complete security, despite anyone's refusal, to ensure that something like this never happens again. The attack on Malala was a mindset of people who don't want to see this country progress."
Rosser said he would not discuss any security precautions the hospital may be taking.
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the shooting in the conservative Swat Valley but don't appear to have anticipated the level of condemnation it would provoke.
Thousands of people in Pakistan and elsewhere have attended rallies and vigils honoring her courage and praying for her recovery.
Malala initially gained international attention in 2009, writing a blog about her life as the Taliban gained a foothold in her home region of Swat, a Taliban redoubt in northwest Pakistan, near Afghanistan.

Jack Straw is an Habitual Liar
Craig Murray – November 29, 2008
Jack Straw, so called Justice Minister, denies that he had any foreknowledge of the arrest of Damian Green.
Jack Straw denied directly to the BBC in the documentary "The Ambassador's Last Stand", and denied to the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, that he had any part in the false accusations laid against me or in my removal as Ambassador for raising human rights concerns. Yet, as detailed in Murder in Samarkand, I have obtained documents in Jack Straw's own handwriting, directing the process, and he held at least three meetings with Sir John Kerr to organise it.
On being sacked, I very openly leaked a number of government documents concerning UK policy, the use of torture material by our intelligence services, and the government's attempts to frame me. Most of these documents were classified more highly than the documents leaked to Damian Green, like this one for example.
Yet when I leaked a number of highly classified documents, openly on the Internet with my name and address, did the police come knocking at my door? No, they did not. They consulted Home Secretary John Reid, who consulted Foreign Secretary Jack Straw. They concluded that they should seek to kill the story, and not generate publicity by arresting me.
Does anybody really believe that Ministers decided whether someone as obscure as I should be arrested, but were not consulted on whether Damian Green should be arrested?
Jack Straw is a serial liar. Do not believe him.

If you are outdoors in a vehicle and a tornado is approaching do not attempt to outrun the tornado. Also, resist the temptation to stay in your vehicle, it is much safer to exit your vehicle and head to a low lying area like a ditch or depression, lay flat and cover your head.

(6 of 7)
Following The Razor's Edge, Murray basically took four years off. He studied French at the Sorbonne, traveled extensively and turned down lots of easy money. He was very happy. "A lot of us work in whatever we can and let the locusts come in and clean our bones," says Aykroyd. "Billy's different. He's off on another kind of journey that people, including me, don't always understand. "
Murray does not like to talk about career plans or personal growth--"Are you trying to make me gag?" he asks--but in the early '90s it became obvious that he was charting a new course and evolving as an actor. "Groundhog Day was a transitional movie," says Ramis. As weatherman Phil Connors, Murray was doomed to relive the same day until he got it right, in the process evolving from a surly (but funny) egoist into a sweet (slightly less funny) human being. "In that role he actually got at the edge between the better, higher, gentler Bill and the bad, cranky, dark Bill," says Ramis. "He figured out how to project the entirety of himself through character. When we were making the film, I'd launch into some explanation of the scene we were about to do, and he'd say, 'Just tell me--good Phil or bad Phil?'"
Throughout the '90s, Murray popped up in small parts in movies as distinct as the raunchy Farrelly brothers' bowling comedy Kingpin, the quirky Tim Burton--directed bio-pic Ed Wood, and Wild Things, a film he succeeded in hijacking despite the heavily marketed presence of a lesbian schoolgirl love scene. The movies were O.K., but Murray was better, and in Rushmore he finally found something worthy of his skill. Anderson conceived the role of the pitiable, contemptible but redeemable Herman Blume specifically for Murray (in part because he loved him in The Razor's Edge). Murray was a revelation as a man fighting off soul death.
The acclaim from Rushmore brought an avalanche of offers, almost all of which Murray ignored. In a typically idiosyncratic move, he decided to go agentless in 1999. (Michael Ovitz represented him until 1995.) He has since replaced a powerful talent agency with an automated voice mailbox. He gives out the 800 number sparingly and monitors the messages from his home overlooking the Hudson River in upstate New York. "I check in regularly," he says. But then adds, "Sometimes I don't check in. Things get busy. I got stuff to do. But you just can't have the phone ringing in your house all the time. I like to be accessible, but on my own terms."
In Hollywood, that 800 number is held up as Murray's ultimate declaration of independence. It's also good business. By creating an aura of aggressive indifference, Murray is now extremely well paid for his occasional dalliances in grade-Z films. (See Charlie's Angels and Garfield; better yet, don't.) He has also ensured that people who want to work with him really want to work with him. "I've had people say, 'I need you in this movie. You're the only one who can do it,'" says Murray. "And as soon as you say no, they've moved on to George Chakiris." | <urn:uuid:315c31b5-b937-483e-8eac-05913f6ab133> | 2013-05-21T10:00:07Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Computer viruses are sneaky, omnipresent and out of control -- but are they alive? The British physics giant Stephen Hawking thinks so. In a speech given at Apple Computer's Macworld Expo in Boston, the wheelchair-bound author of "A Brief History of Time" mused that computer viruses meet all the definitions of life, except for the fact that they have no metabolism. Instead, Hawking said, they're parasites that feed off the metabolisms of the host computers they destroy: "I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image." | <urn:uuid:b92cd618-5075-4661-be67-31b8541528e2> | 2013-05-21T10:27:25Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Bolt apologises over 'joint' comments
Jamaican Olympic sprint hero Usain Bolt apologized over his comments on youthful marijuana use as reported in a German newspaper.
"I want to apologise to the Jamaican people if at any time it may have come across that all young people 'roll a joint'," Bolt said in a statement.
"I would also like to urge the upcoming stars to stay away from any kind of drugs, as it is not of any value to them or the sport you participate in."
Bolt, who stormed to three sprint golds in world record times at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was quoted by Bild as saying "When you're a child in Jamaica, you learn how to roll a joint."
The statement noted that Bolt, "although although admitting to 'trying' marijuana as a child, has never used it as a competitor."
The Bild story sparked a storm of criticism in Jamaica, and Bolt called the situation "unfortunate." | <urn:uuid:291fa988-7061-46b3-83a9-a0bbc74658ba> | 2013-05-21T10:01:36Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

A mini-bus erupted in flames today at a West Toledo gas station.
There were no reports of injury.
Toledo firefighters were called to the scene about 4:35 p.m. and extinguished the fire.
The vehicle had started smoking, and its driver pulled into the gas station parking lot, Toledo fire Lt. Matthew Hertzfeld said. The driver and passenger opened the hood, saw flames, and ran clear. Passersby reported seeing flames several feet above the vehicle and billowing black smoke.
The gas station remained open, Lieutenant Hertzfeld said. | <urn:uuid:01aeda84-def3-433e-bbd0-a48acacf81b0> | 2013-05-21T10:28:23Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [

Zawieruszynski Originals are the creation of Zofia and Henry Zawieruszynski. Born in Poland, Zofia was educated at various art schools to broaden her talents in sculpting, costume design, anatomy, and painting. Heny completed similar schools studying painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics. After marrying, they jointly opened a design business. In 1988 they moved to the USA, settling in Minnesota, where they continue to focus their attention on sculpting and creating beautiful, limited edition dolls, both vinyl and porcelain.
Since 1995, Zawieruszynski dolls have won more than 40 awards, including numerous nominations for "Doll of the Year" and "Doll of Excellence." Six dolls from the 2004 collection have received such nominations.
The Zawieruszynskis have created s line of dolls that not only excel in their beauty but capture the essence of the eastern European culture represented by their creators. Toni's Collectibles is very pleased to offer this line. | <urn:uuid:e721d72a-a47b-41c9-b68f-d52b1a38f261> | 2013-05-21T10:35:55Z | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | [
