Hezbollah Uses Anti-Islam Film to Fire Up Its Followers
Tens of thousands of supporters of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah filled the streets of Beirut to denounce the U.S. for an anti-Islamic film.
Many waved the group's yellow flag as they chanted, "America, America, you are the greatest Satan" and "Israel, Israel, you're the enemy of Muslims."
The protest yesterday followed a call by Hassan Nasrallah, the chief of the pro-Iranian militant group. Making a rare public appearance at the protest, Nasrallah told the crowds to deafening cheers: "We will not remain silent over the insult to our prophet."
The film, which the U.S. has described as "very offensive," last week triggered violent demonstrations and attacks on U.S. and European targets across the Muslim world. U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three colleagues were killed in an attack in Benghazi, while Muslim protesters in Tunis and elsewhere died in clashes with government security forces.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the protests in many instances were a test for the new, elected leaders who have taken office in the wake of the Arab Spring democracy movement.
Mideast governments have demonstrated "a lot of will to protect us, but may have overestimated their ability," Nuland said. That has led to high-level conversations to address the need to improve security, she said.
Fighting Extremism
"We can't abandon these people now, particularly as they're facing extremism in their midst," Nuland said. "That's all the more reason we have to work with them."
Egypt has taken steps to safeguard the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, so "we are feeling much better about the security now," Nuland said.
The U.S. Embassy in Lebanon yesterday said it had received reports indicating an increased possibility of attacks against American citizens and urged them to take additional security measures. In a statement posted on its website, the embassy said dangers include kidnapping and "the potential for an upsurge in violence."
The Hezbollah protesters marched in southern Beirut, while the U.S. Embassy is in a suburb north of the city.
Protests Continue
Nasrallah said the protests will continue until the film is removed from the Internet and the people responsible for it are held accountable. He said the U.S. should understand that the broadcast of the film in its entirety will have "grave" repercussions worldwide.
Nasrallah said Internet sites that broadcast the film should be boycotted and that Islamic governments should pressure the international community to issue laws that criminalize insults to religions.
He said the failure of the Muslim community to act would keep the door open for "new films and new insults." Yesterday's protest is the beginning of a "serious" movement to defend the Prophet Muhammad, Nasrallah said.
Last week, the U.S. imposed financial sanctions against Nasrallah for aiding Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. Hezbollah is designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and Israel.
Lebanese President Michel Sleiman instructed Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour to prepare a proposal for a law that would be submitted at the Arab League that would criminalize insults to religions, the official National News Agency said. He said reactions to the film should be "peaceful and civilized," the agency said.
Tunis Standoff
Demonstrations were also held in Asia. In Indonesia, about 400 protesters clashed with police outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta. Police fired tear gas when the demonstrators started throwing rocks at officers outside the embassy, spokesman Rikwanto, who goes by only one name, said by telephone yesterday.
Police in Pakistan's central city of Lahore resorted to baton charging and fired tear-gas shells after protesters tried to storm the U.S. consulate by scaling its main gates, according to a telecast by Express TV.
In Libya, the armed Islamist group linked by Libyan officials to the killing of Stevens in the attack on the U.S. consulate denied involvement, even as it blamed the U.S. for allowing the release of the anti-Islamic film and failing to evacuate its consulate.
Brigade's Denial
"We completely and categorically deny involvement," Youseff El Gehani, spokesman for the Ansar al-Sharia brigade, said yesterday in an interview at a Benghazi hotel. "The embassy knew how sensitive it was to allow that film, they should have evacuated. If America wants respect in the Arab world, it should avoid spilling blood in places such as Syria and Afghanistan, and avoid insulting the prophet."
Libya's de-facto head of state, Mohammed Magariaf, said in an interview that elements of the al-Sharia brigade were involved in the consulate attack, citing intelligence intercepts shown to him by U.S. officials.

If Laguna Honda Hospital were a movie being reviewed by The Chronicle, it would now score a Little Man clapping — quite a big improvement from the Little Man sleeping in his chair that it scored two years ago. (For context, it's gone from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" to "Skyfall" level quality.)
For ages, the Twin Peaks-area facility was stuck at Twilight levels, rating two out of five stars year after year from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services which rates nursing homes on staffing, health inspections and quality measures.
Back then, the hospital was under federal oversight after the U.S. Department of Justice, tipped off by an anonymous complaint, found a "pattern of egregious conditions" there. There were reports of demented patients wandering off campus, fights among patients and institutional wards with no privacy and nowhere to eat meals other than in hospital beds.
But now, the hospital has a gleaming new building and is out from under federal oversight. Last year, it scored three out of five stars and has just learned that its newest rating is a whopping four stars.
"It's a milestone for us," said Executive Administrator Mivic Hirose. "It reflects the dedication of a strong staff and the commitment of the city to excellence in health care."
Hospital staff believes it is on track to score five stars by 2014. That would put it in the Little Man leaping out of his chair category. Think "Lincoln."

Restaurant: Litehouse_Seafood_Bar_and_Grill
dre @ Bristol and McLaughlin: This was formerly Lucy's Seafood Kitchen and Cafe. Lucy's has a couple of other locations around Mississauga, so I was surprised when I called them up and learned that it's been changed to Litehouse Seafood Bar and Grill. I believe the chef stayed, bought out the place and runs it himself. The menu is very similar to Lucy's.
I had the Backwoods Bayou Jambalaya - Cajun chicken, shrimp, Andouille sausage, sweet peppers, onions in a thick & hearty spicy Creole sauce, served over rice. I thought it was pretty interesting that the rice was simply white rice instead of mixing it together with the dish before serving. The dish was pretty spicy and I had to ask for many refills of water.
Cedric had the fish and chips. It was pretty good, but I enjoyed the thin fries more.

We are used to reading reviews about movies before we go to see the latest that Hollywood has to offer, and we read music reviews before we go out to buy that CD....Well, why not extend the idea to strip clubs? Strip Club Reviews Indianapolis IN are here to separate the wheat from the chaff. The variety you can find in strip clubs Indianapolis is enormous; they differ, first and foremost, in the quality of dancers, the clothes they dont wear, and to be upfront, some gals leave us slathering, others leave us screaming.

Shirdar, Mostafa Rezazadeh and Nilashi, Mehrbakhsh and Bagherifard, Karamollah and Ibrahim, Othman and Izman, S. and Moradifard, Hossein and Janahmadi, Nasim and Barisamy, Mehdi (2011) Application of ANFIS system in prediction of machining parameters. Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology, 33 (1). pp. 83-93. ISSN 1992-8645
Since cutting conditions have an influence on reducing the production cost and time of machining process and also the quality of a final product the prediction of output machining parameters such as surface roughness and tool life criteria for different cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and tool geometry is one of vital modules in process planning of metal parts. In this study with use of experimental results on machining of ST-37 and subsequently, ANFIS system, importance of each parameter was studied. These parameters were considered as input in order to predict the surface finish and tool life criteria, two conflicting objectives, as the process performance. In this paper ANFIS system was applied to predict output parameters of machining. Results show that amount of input influence on the outputs parameters. By using ANFIS input parameters entered to ANFIS system then all training data was trained with 300 epochs. After training the value of error which is 1.039e-006 was calculated.

This was a better week for our family for sure! Amanda is all better and back to school and Leah is feeling a bit better too. It was a little hard to get back into the groove of normal life but it felt good once we were doing it!
Tuesday was the first day everyone was pretty much out of the house and so I decided to go to Joann's and buy some yarn. Retail therapy was much needed. The night before I pulled out a book on crocheting socks and I got discouraged very quickly.
I consider myself a beginner when it comes to crochet and everything in the book felt overwhelming. Then I remembered that a few years ago I bought a sock loom. I loved knitting the scarves on a loom at Christmas time so I thought I'd pull this back out.
I found pretty sock yarn at Joann's and yarn for another scarf on the bigger loom.
I started the socks this week and it take some time but I am enjoying the process! It's relaxing for me and I've been watching either The Quilt Show while I knit or shows on Netflix. I love that the yarn is self striping. This is Deborah Norville sock yarn in the super fine weight.
By Wednesday, I was itching to get on the long arm! I've had Nancy's beautiful star quilt loaded on there since last weekend and I couldn't wait to begin the quilting. Nancy requested a large stipple as she's wanting it to have a nice texture without being too dense. I finished it this morning and then delivered it to her door!
Look how beautiful the backing fabric is that she chose…
Once I get past the initial 'heart attack' of quilting someone else's creation, I truly enjoy the rhythm of the work. It has a zen like nature to it. I'm eager to use the pantographs I received last week, so I pulled out the Seaglass quilt and I have that ready to load on the frame next.
I chose the Swirling Feathers pantograph and I have a beautiful blue variegated thread for it.
Last week when I went to my doctor's appointment, the doctor pointed out that my spine is starting to get a slight curve to it. EEEEEKS. I said I believed that to be from years of poor posture but she thought it to be an occupational issue where years of bending over sewing machines, ironing boards, and cutting tables might be more to blame. So….being sufficiently freaked out, I ordered the Body Rite counter weight to use while sewing and long arming. I think this is the same one that Leah Day uses. I've used it a few times this week and it has been nice. It won't cure anything on its own but it does pull the shoulders back while you work so your back stays straighter. I've noticed I'm much more aware of my posture when I'm not wearing it than I was before. Nancy's Notions sells this but I did find it a little cheaper on Amazon.
I'm looking forward to the weekend! What are you all working on?

Travel photo of the day
New York - The City of Light and Hope
- rachel8, CNN iReport producer
New York is maybe one of the most exciting and mesmerizing City of the World. It is full of cultural diversity, wonderful sights, museums, theatres and so much more. It is hard to capture the so fantastic essence of this vibrant and beautiful City. Anyway it is impossible to do when you just visit it, as I do. But every time I arrive in New York, it amazes and surprises me as I would see it the very first time.
1, The light cascades over the Statue of Liberty
2, Bird's-eye view of Manhattan
3, The Verrazano Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Island. It is also the starting point of the New York Marathon. It is such a fun to watch especially in high heat when the great Ocean - Liners passing under it, just inches to spare. The bridge is about 12 feet lower in summer as in winter.
4, Macy's at Broadway
5, Times Square
6, The Empire State building
The Empire State Building is a 102 story building with its antenna included, it is 1,454 ft (443.2 m) high. t was completed in 1931 and it was the World' tallest building for 40 years.
7, Bright lights of Broadway
8, You always can meet somebody special in New York!
9, The breathtaking vista of Manhattan and the Hudson river
10, The Statue of Liberty
This so meaningful statue is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. As a refugee and as a person who grew up in an occupied country this beautiful statue has a special place in my heart. Every time I see it, is always reminds me of an old, beaten up picture which once my Father shown me secretly (it was forbidden to have this picture or anything else from the West in early fifties) and he whispered to me as I was a child - "look at this graceful statue and remember it always, because this is the place where Freedom lives!". I think I just was five years old that time but I never ever forgot the meaning of the Statue of Liberty. Now I am a proud US Citizen. Thank You: PuakeaJutka

A mum and her children have been left homeless after their house was destroyed by a fire caused by an exploding e-cigarette.
Single mum Victoria Newton, 34, and her three children are lucky to be alive but, sadly, the explosion killed their neighbour's cat.
Victoria was at home with her four-year-old son Dylan and her two daughters Millie-Anne, nine, and Lauren, 13, when they heard a bang at their house in Leigh, Greater Manchester.
Victoria told her local paper: "My daughter Lauren had some friends round and one of her mates had plugged in her e-cigarette and they'd gone out playing.
"About 15 minutes later, I was doing housework and I heard this crackling noise coming from Lauren's bedroom.
"I didn't know what it was and when I reached the landing I just remember this huge bang and I was thrown to the floor by the force of it.
"It had been left on the floor and the explosion sent it flying across the room and it ended up under Lauren's bed.
"I was crawling around and when I looked I couldn't believe my eyes. There was smoke everywhere and the room was on fire. The force of the blast had blown out all the bedroom windows and blown the door off the hinges.
"I couldn't breathe and my instinct was just to grab Dylan and get out."
Victoria said her two daughters were in the front garden playing when she ran outside covered in soot carrying her four-year-old son.
But their neighbour's cat Tinker, who was in the house at the time, sadly died in the blaze.
Victoria said: "My first thought was to make sure my kids were safe. My son was screaming and when my girls saw us run outside they heard me shouting 'fire' and they burst into tears too.
"I thought the cat was in the house so I left Dylan outside and I ran back in but I couldn't see or breathe because there was so much smoke.
"It's awful that Tinker died but I'm grateful it wasn't my kids. It could have been so much worse."
The family are now staying with relatives until they find another home.
Meanwhile, Victoria has warned other parents to beware the dangers of e-cigarettes.
She said: "These e-cigarettes come from all over the world. You never really know if they're safe. Something needs to be done about it."
David Acton, chairman of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority, said: "The family had a lucky escape with discovering the fire when they did, although their house is damaged and they have lost their pet.
"Please can we remind people to take extra care when it comes to electrical items, not leaving them plugged in too long and making sure wires, plugs and chargers are in good working order."

C.J. Wilson: Los Angeles Angels SP Has Been Getting It Done on the RoadApril 14, 2012
The Los Angeles Angels (2-5) and New York Yankees (4-3) are set to play the second game of a three-game set on Saturday afternoon inside Yankee Stadium, with the first pitch scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET on FOX.
Las Vegas oddsmakers have established the Yankees as -123 home favorites and the total stands at 9.5.
Los Angeles starting pitcher C.J. Wilson (1-0, 1.29 ERA) picked up a 5-1 road victory over the Minnesota Twins in his first outing in a new uniform on Monday, but the result certainly wasn't surprising to most. The left-hander paced the American League with a 2.31 ERA on the road during the 2011 campaign.
Wilson also endeared himself to the fan base quickly during his six Cactus League starts, posting a perfect 4-0 mark and 1.11 ERA, allowing just three earned runs over 24.1 innings.
Sports bettors will love that he's throwing in umpire James Hoye's zone in this contest, as he picked up an 8-1 home victory over the Oakland Athletics as a member of the Texas Rangers last year on Sept. 11. The 31-year-old fanned 11 batters and issued just a single walk in that affair.
The Angels are definitely not a sure thing due to their 4-13 record inside the new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
Phil Hughes (0-1, 3.86 ERA) will look to start off on a better foot in front of the home crowd this year, as he tallied a 1-2 record and 7.83 ERA in seven starts inside this venue last year.
He will need to be careful pitching to Angels outfielder Vernon Wells, who is 8-for-25 with two home runs and seven RBIs against him.
It's still important to note that the Yankees are 27-7 in his last 34 starts as a home favorite.

- Did a Kennedy Secret Service agent fire the fatal shot? And if it was an accident, why a decades-long cover-up? A startling new Canada-Australia co-production, JFK: THE SMOKING GUN tackles the ultimate cold case -
TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2013 /CNW/ - Distinct bullet holes from two different firearms, a whiff of smoke, a colossal cover-up, and a missing brain…compelling clues from the most fascinating and famous cold case of the 20th century. Commissioned by Discovery Canada, the North American premiere of the landmark co-production JFK: THE SMOKING GUN debuts Sunday, November 3, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, just weeks before the 50th anniversary of the assasination of President John. F. Kennedy.
A groundbreaking investigative special, JFK: THE SMOKING GUN made international headlines earlier this year for its shocking "second shooter" theory - that it was accidental "friendly fire" from a Secret Service agent that killed President Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. JFK: THE SMOKING GUN is based on the work of veteran Police Detective Colin McLaren, who spent the last four years on the Kennedy forensic cold case investigation. What he had - and other investigators at the time did not - was modern technology and access to all the evidence, facts, and eye-witness testimony. He believes he has managed to solve a crime that is every bit as shocking and incredible today as it was when it happened 50 years ago. Methodically constructed from simple logic and exhaustive analysis of all available evidence -- including key archival photographic evidence, medical reports, witness testimony, and bullet science - has McLaren found the "smoking gun" that killed J.F.K.?
JFK: THE SMOKING GUN investigates the most famous unsolved crime in American history, following renowned Australian homicide detective McLaren who based his work on the findings of highly-qualified ballistics expert, Howard Donahue. With dramatic recreations, the two-hour special goes back to that tragic day in Dallas at Dealey Plaza where the shooting took place, onward to Parkland Hospital where the President was pronounced dead, then to the Bethesda Naval Hospital where the autopsy was conducted - providing context for the witness testimonies and proceedings at the Warren Commission that are still controversial decades later.
Ballistic experiments, CGI, and 3D animation heighten the viewers' experience and understanding of the evidence and sequence of events. Working through the most fascinating "cold case" of the last century, JFK: THE SMOKING GUN applies modern forensic investigation techniques to all of the available crime scene evidence, and delves into previously-classified information to reach its startling conclusion. This groundbreaking new special features:

Abuse Pages
Perhaps you have an abuse problem
Lots of people do. Abuse is not simply a male problem, or a white male problem, or a poor person problem, or an alcohol/drug user problem. Abuse is an equal opportunity problem. Nobody is demographically immune from abusing or being abused. Anybody can abuse someone they care about, and many, many do. Men do. Women do. Wealthy people do. Poor people do. White folks do. Folks of color do. Able-bodied folks do. People with disabilities do. Big people do. Little people do. Medium-sized people do. Republicans do. Democrats do. Libertarians, Reform Party folks, Socialist Workers, Green Party folks, vulgar (and less-than-vulgar) Marxists do, and even Pat Paulson supporters do too. Therapists do. The mentally ill do. Police and criminals do. Loud people do. Quiet people do. Heterosexuals, homosexuals and bisexuals do. Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Agnostics, Atheists, and even Mormons do, no matter how devout or spiritual they do or don't appear to be. Computer users do. Nice people do. Somebody you know (and probably like) does. Maybe your spouse/partner does. Maybe you do. I did. My experience might sound like yours, or perhaps my wife's will, or maybe you will relate better to other people's experiences with abuse.
Many abusers and abuse victims do not realize that they are, in fact, in an abusive situation. For a million and one reasons (more or less) people hide the abuse they see from themselves by rationalizing, minimizing, and justifying it so that it isn't abuse, it's something else. This is called Denial, and it's based in lies we tell ourselves. Through these lies we distort reality as we perceive it, we redefine the meaning of what we do, and we adjust what we consider to be right and wrong, in an escalating fashion. Ultimately, any act, no matter how hideous, can be carried out once we have developed the necessary level of denial.
Rather than simply pondering the rather nebulous question of "Am I or am I not in an abusive relationship?" it is often helpful to look at some specific questions that can bring the abuse to light more subtly by getting past the minimizing, rationalizing, and justifying.
- Are you afraid of your partner?
- Do you sometimes feel like you have to walk on pins and needles to keep your partner from getting angry?
- Has your partner ever hit, slapped, choked or pushed you?
- Has your partner ever pulled your hair?
- Do you ever feel like you deserve to be punished?
- Do you ever feel like you've done something wrong but you just can't figure out what it is?
- Have you lost all respect or love for your partner?
- Is your partner very good to you most of the time -- sometimes downright wonderful, but every once in a while very cruel or scary?
- Does your partner drive you crazy or make you feel like you're going crazy?
- Do you find yourself sometimes thinking of ways of killing your partner?
- Have you believed that your partner would kill you?
- Have you been told by your partner that he or she would kill you?
- Has your partner threatened or attempted to commit suicide?
- Have you thought that suicide would be a good thing for you because everybody would be better off without you or if you'd never been born?
- Were you abused as a child?
- Are there significant periods of time in your life that you can't remember?
- Have you ever done harmful things to yourself like cutting yourself, agreeing to do things you don't like, engaging in reckless or dangerous behavior, etc. because you felt like you should be punished when things have gone badly?
- Have you been forced by your partner to do something you didn't want to do?
- Have you lost all or most of your friends since you've been with your partner?
- Have you put up with something that made you really uncomfortable, or something that you really knew was wrong, because you love your partner?
- Do you feel isolated, like there's nowhere to turn for help, and that no one would believe you anyway?
- Have you lost a job because of your partner?
- Do you have to look back more than a month or two to find anything loving your partner has done for you?
- Have you ever "frozen" when your partner gave you "the look"?
- Do you feel emotionally numb?

- Have you been told by your partner or others that you are:
- selfish?
- mean?
- controlling?
- critical?
- stubborn?
- manipulative?
- cruel?
- arrogant?
- hypocritical?
- Do you find yourself answering questions here with "yes, but..."?
- Have you ever threatened or attempted to kill yourself or a partner?
- Do you know, in your heart-of-hearts, that you have been abusive to your partner, and you just don't know what to do about it or how to stop?
If you found yourself answering "yes" to several of the questions in either of the above lists, even if you think there are good reasons for those "yes" answers, please contact the domestic abuse resources in your community or your local police department and let them know what the questions were that you found yourself answering "yes" to. They can help you determine whether you are in fact in an abusive relationship and let you know what your options are in finding help. Denying that there is a problem or rationalizing away the reasons you found yourself in either or both of the above lists will put you and your family in danger of escalating violence that may lead to death. Ignoring the painful realities of abuse does not make them go away -- it helps them grow more painful and more ugly.
The first step in stopping violence is seeing it and taking responsibility for it. It is not enough to say "I'm sorry, I'll never do it again." If that's as far as it goes, that's nothing more than part of the cycle of abuse -- the "Honeymoon" Phase. You must seek outside help from people who have experience dealing with domestic abuse issues and find a place of support before the abuse will really stop. It may take you several tries to find the kind of support and help you need. Once you've found it, you will be the one doing the work, of course, but that outside involvement gives you a much better chance of successfully breaking the cycle of violence that you're presently involved in. A supportive group situation helps provide social support for change to counter the social pressure to maintain status quo.
Perhaps you find yourself in questions on both lists. This should be no surprise. Many abusive relationships have the abuse running in more than one direction, and most abusers have learned their abuse by experiencing abuse or watching someone else being abused. Your path will be difficult should you choose healing, as the available resources will want you to work on one set of issues or the other, and you may need to be dealing with both sets sometimes. However, if it keeps you and your family safe, it'll be worth the effort.
If you find a friend or family member on those lists, you may be wondering what to do with the knowledge that this person is abusing or being abused. The most important thing you can do is talk about it and not hide it, but there is a bit to learn about to make sure you aren't going to cause more harm than good. Some helpful things to keep in mind would include:
- Safety must be the first consideration. No matter how "right" you may think you are to do something, if it puts your friend in a dangerous situation, then it isn't helping and could lead to death.
- Your understanding that your friend is in an abusive situation doesn't mean very much, because you aren't a party to the abuse.
- Your friend is still the same person he or she has always been, even though that may not be the person you thought you liked.
- Your friend's life is not your life, and your happiness is not dependent on his or her happiness.
- He or she is probably in denial about the abuse, even if he or she appears not to be. Do not be surprised if some rather ridiculous sounding things pop out of his or her mouth along the way.
- It's not your position to heal, punish, or save your friend. He or she will need your respect, support and listening much more than your fixing, advice or judging.
- Beating up on your friend's partner, whether verbally or physically, will only do harm, and may violate the law. Besides that, it's wrong.
- Honesty and openness are vitally important, but keep some distance between being brutally frank and frankly brutal.
- Keep yourself safe and take care of your responsibilities. You can't help your friend if you throw your own life into crisis.
- Your actions speak much louder than your words. Giving your own life some scrutiny to see if you have some things you could improve about yourself, and then walking a path of healing and growth will go much further with your friend than any amount of sermonizing or lecturing.
- Please never do something for your friend that he or she could do for himself or herself. People make sure that things which are important to them happen. And sheltering people from the consequences of their behavior may rob them of the most valuable learning experiences they can have.
- Please do not tolerate intolerable behavior from your friend. Calling the police can be an act of love if it keeps you safe and starts your friend on the road to healing (prison can be an effective form of treatment).

Expatriates with children living in Dubai have a constant fear on their mind; how much more cash do I need to throw out for my child's education? Well, this article isn't going to bring any smiles.
Out of the 117 schools that applied for a fee increase this year, 83 of them have been giving permission. The remaining applications are still pending.
The eighty three schools in question have been allowed to raise their fees by 3 to 9 percent; other schools will likely take a leaf out of their books as well.
The Chief of Regulations and Compliance Commission at the Knowledge and Human Development Authority has announced that the requests of other schools are still under consideration.
All Indian schools, which began their academic year in April, have announced the hike with retrospective effect. Of the 146 private schools in Dubai, 129 are eligible to seek fee hike as per the new framework, which is based on the ratings.
The KHDA have given schools a higher bar that, once achieved, will enable them to apply for a fee increase; depending on the school's performance and rating. Parents aren't happy with this news and they believe it is just a formal excuse to allow them to hike the fees.
"If this continues to happen, a lot of parents will pull out very quickly!" Said a distraught parent to this reporter.

Intraoperative MRI using a 1.5 T system for cranial neurosurgery – experiences and challenges in the first 100 cases
Herausforderungen im Einsatz der intraoperativen MRT – Erfahrungen in den ersten 100 Operationen in einem 1,5-T-System
Suche in Medline nach
|11. April 2007
Objective: We have integrated a 1.5 T MRI system into a fully equipped OR. It was our goal, to provide the capabilities of a conventional OR with advanced imaging and guidance technology. In September 2005 the OR was fully operational. We use a short bore system (Philips Medical Systems) which allows us to do operations with conventional tools under the microscope outside the 5 Gauss line, and then pivot and transfer the patient to the scanner.
Methods: From September 2005 to October 2006, 100 operations were performed,consisting of 69 gliomas, 21 pituitary adenomas, 5 metastases, 4 cavernomas and 1 meningioma. In all patients we used the ceiling mounted navigation system (BrainLab). In 45 patients intraoperative images were used for updated Navigation. 12 patients were operated under conscious sedation for tumours in eloquent areas. 11 patients were operated using fluourescence guidance (5-ALA). A specifically adapted Mayfield head clamp allows rigid fixation. Routine imaging consists of T1, T2, DWI, Flair and post-contrast studies, as well as dynamic perfusion studies in recurrent gliomas. In selected cases, we do spectroscopy and DTI. There are at least 3 imaging sessions: the first after positioning, then after a considerable tumour resection, and finally before closure. Tumour resection is carried out using standard neuronavigation and microsurgical techniques. Subsequent image data sets are registered and used for updated navigation when deemed necessary.
Results: The set-up provides rapid access to imaging and updated navigation for all lesions. The transfer time is negligible. However, depending on the information to be extracted, the scanning time can be up to 45 minutes. The necessity of using the table to serve imaging needs limits its degrees of freedom to raising and lowering of the head, as well as total height adjustment.
Conclusions: Imaging of high-grade and recurrent gliomas remains a challenge, due to slow contrast leakage (spread enhancement) as well as fast, time dependent contrast distribution for recurrent lesions and radiation changes. Intraoperative MRI provides a good basis for surgical decision making and guidance. However, the pathology of these tumors, in particular gliomas, demands tailored approaches in respect to imaging, as well as to surgical techniques, such as conscious sedation or fluorescence guidance.

With that in mind, let's play a little game called When Should They Have Ended The Series?
Series I Have Watched
Arrow: At the end of season 3, when -- for the first and only time -- Oliver and Felicity are happy, driving off into the sunset. Not only is it a happy ending, but there are NO dangling plot threads to be resolved!
Babylon 5: Season 4, with the season 5 season finale as the series finale. Admittedly, there is lots of good stuff in s5, but the season was slow to start (what with having tied up all the plot threads at the end of s4, thinking they wouldn't get renewed) and did we really need Byron the angsty telepath?
Battlestar Galactica: Season 3, episode 4. This is right after the fleet has escaped from Cylon captivity on New Caprica, but before the start of "Starbuck kills herself, then inexplicably comes back" and "Part of the crew are secretly Cylon". Yes, plots are never resolved this way, but to be honest, some of them (Starbuck) were never resolved anyway.
Blindspot: 10-15 minutes before the end of the s2 finale, when they've wrapped everything up but before they introduce the "2 years later" lead-in to next season. (I am aware this is a bit presumptuous as s3 hasn't even aired yet, but the lead-in to next season just screams "Bullshit relationship drama between Jane and Kurt." And the magical DNA box & glowing tattoos just peg my WTF meter.)
CSI: Season 8 episode 7, with Sarah leaving the show. She joined the show in the first episode, so her leaving the show is a natural end point.
Chuck: At the end of season 4. Again, loose ends are tied up and everyone is happy.
Flash: I really want to like this show, but honestly I don't think I can take more grimdark. I loved the first season but I don't think I can take more gloom and doom.
Heroes: The end of season 1. I don't think anyone will dispute this.
Highlander: I never finished this series because when it aired in the 90s it was syndicated, and the channel it was on decided to move its schedule around and air it in the middle of the night. That said, either the end of season 3 (resolving the Kalas plotline) or the first episode of season 4 (where Duncan returns home to Scotland) make a good end for the series.
Lost: Considering the hot mess that this series became and how damn near every plot line was entangled with every other plot, I'm not sure there was ever a good place to end it short of "Never start watching in the first place".
Mythbusters: Whenever the build team left (end of season 11, I think?), because their departure seemed to suck all the joy from the show.
Sleepy Hollow: Season 2, epsiode 11, "Akeda", aka the midseason finale. It wraps up the entire Moloch storyline and neatly avoids all the Katrina crap.
Warehouse 13: Certainly no later than s5e1, which wraps up the previous season's cliffhanger without delving into the ridiculous "Myka and Pete are suddenly in love, just to make the shippers happy) and quite possibly sooner.
Series I Haven't Watched, But Have Been Told Went On Too Long
These suggestions aren't from me.
24: Season 1.
Gargoyles: Season 3.
Millennium: The second season ended very apocalyptically. It should have ended with "Did the world end or not?"
Prison Break: The end of season 2.
Sons of Anarchy: Season 3. They should have dumped the ridiculous Oirish side-quest and moved the major plot points from seasons 4-7 (which we all saw coming about three episodes into the show) up instead.
Supernatural: Season 5. They stopped Lucifer and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Heroic self-sacrifice. Natural conclusion. Cut the scene of Sam watching Dean and you have a wonderful 5 season arc.
The X-Files: Season 7.
What are your thoughts?

Family has asked me for a Christmas list, and for the past several years I've been primarily just putting cookbooks on it. Which brings me to my question. Of those who have the French Laundry cookbook, how many use it for cooking? I've heard it's a beautiful book, very inspiring, etc., but for the most part I want cookbooks from which I can use recipes. I'm an average to good cook, but very much a recipe follower rather than a creator. I know some (many?) of the recipes in FL cookbook are complicated and use equipment/ingredients that are always on hand or easy to find, so how often do those that own the book use it for the recipes?
Other books I'm considering putting on the list:
Colorado Cache and Creme de Colorado -- enjoyed cooking from them when lived in Denver but don't own
River Road Recipes I
Ad Hoc at Home
Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking (Hazan)
Sauces (James Peterson)
A final question, has anyone ordered a used book from other sellers on Amazon.com? OK with the experience? I'm assuming transaction takes place with Amazon and then they send money and information to the seller. Is that correct?
Thanks for the help.This message has been edited. Last edited by: eyesintime,

Hazan is really good. Probably in my top 5 cookbooks.
I've ordered books from other sellers on Amazon and it worked fine. You have a correct understanding of how it works. Shipping takes longer usually, but not a lot longer. I've been happy when I've done it.

Only if it says shipped from amazon. Most in the market place are strictly seller to buyer with amazon there for dispute purposes.
I've bought a bunch of text books from different buyers, out of 9 purchases, 5 of them are for different prints then represented. 2 of them had defects (not in stated condition)
A quick call to the amazon department has resolved most cases wehre the seller refunded a partial amount of the money as i didn't want to bother paying to ship it back.
I'm pretty happy with amazon's dispute system (however i believe it does take 10 days after the first complaint, not sure if that policy changed)

Chinese cooking, especially Cantonese, does not get the love it deserves. Gloria Bley Miller wrote a good one. After to French, I'll take good Cantonese next.
Just one more sip.
I have the FL book and might have cooked a few times. The bouchon cookbook on the other hand is beat up and dog eared. Love it, go to it all the time. ad hoc i felt was a waste. i think i might have opened it twice. 'simple family' cooking that takes all day to prepare. Give me the croque-monsieur with fried egg and mornay sauce from bouchon over just about anything in that book. I have a bread plate from bouchon on the wall of my kitchen reminding me to keep things simple.
Hazan is a definite.
I also love the zuni cafe cookbook - filled with great explanations of how's and why's, with some great recipes too.
It's easy to poke fun at Keller's paean to his fabled establishment, but it is a lovely book, educational and authoritative, gorgeously photographed, equally at home on the coffee table or in the kitchen. I read mine cover to cover when I received it as a gift, but have not opened it in the last year, and have only dared attempt a few recipes.
The lowly parmesan crisp became an all-day affair until I discovered that store-bought grated cheese will not work; you must buy a wedge and grate it yourself.
Keller's butter-poaching technique for lobster is clearly superior to, and has now replaced, my previous recipes for steaming or boiling those crustaceans.
I enjoy improvising. If you prefer following a recipe closely, Keller might prove frustrating. Hope this helps.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Javachip,

Any book by Hazan is good.
The FL is 'elegant' for the average cook. I'd take teh 75 edition of "The Joy of Cooking" over that.This message has been edited. Last edited by: FL Wino,

Hazan is a classic. How could you not have it already? Written before the celebrity and cult chefs appeared, it's still a great cookbook. The second one isn't quite in the same league, but also a great book.
I stopped buying cookbooks about 15 years ago because I already had so many and it's so easy to find recipes online these days. But I'm always tempted by things like that Keller book or in particular the Nathan Myhrvold book. The thing is, you can sit and read those. I'm not going to stand with a book in the kitchen and measure a spoonful of this and a spoonful of that, but the better books serve as places to get suggestions, explanations, and enjoyment. Then you go cook.
Good luck with it!
"The best part is how he said the ENGLISH language. Fine irony. Use American next time."
Thanks for all the input. The comments on the FL cookbook were especially helpful. Somehow I had missed the Bouchon cookbook -- only seeing the Bouchon Bakery one, and I don't bake. That might be closer to what I want than the FL book. Although I improvise on things I cook often, I still don't feel comfortable completely improvising; rather, I choose recipes that sound interesting, follow them pretty much too the tee initially and then make adjustments if I think needed on subsequent preparations.

Even after a couple of years her owner still wouldn't sell her to my mom. Then he started boarding her at a race horse barn in Detroit and the lady was straving her. My mom and Aunt went up to Detroit and saved her. She would have died very soon. She was SO weak she couldn't stand in the trailer and the had to tie her up so she could stand! Then 15 years later we donated her to a religious riding camp and they starved her too! She had Geardia and Strongyls! We went up there, put her in the trailor and drove off. It is 2 years later now, she is fattened up and we are going to breed her 1 last time! All her other babies died do to lack of care by the previous owner except 1 who was stolen!.

The first step in helping yourself deal with panic attacks is to understand that anxiety and fear are normal emotions. These feelings are actually mechanisms to help, not hurt us.
This mechanism stems back to primitive man who was hunting wild animals for his food and surviving in the wild. When our ancestors were faced with the kind of dangers most of us can´t imagine now, the anxiety and fear triggered the fight/flight response and moved our ancestors into action to protect themselves, through fighting the oncoming danger or running.
The body takes over and you are able to respond to a threat with very little notice. Think about driving, we are able to swerve out of the way of oncoming dangers with very little notice or thought. We do things all the time in our lives, automatically, without much thought to avoid dangers. This is our highly attuned and trained body responding to danger.
Our nervous system triggers this instant action, surge of adrenalin and response but it also triggers a reaction that brings us back to calm when the danger passes. Eventually, regardless of the situation, your nervous system will seek to restore calm to your body. Your body will not allow you to spiral endlessly in an ongoing surge of anxiety and fear.
Think about your panic attacks, did they last forever; did you continue to feel the effects forever? Of course not, your body realized there was no danger and triggered the calming effects of your nervous system.
During a panic attack you need to try to remind yourself that the effects you are feeling will not overwhelm your body. For example, when having a panic attack, most people experience a shortness of breath or tightening of the chest. You feel like you can´t breathe so you become anxious about your breathing and fear you will stop breathing altogether.
This is the key - Your panic attack will not stop your breathing! Try holding your breath forever. You can´t do it, eventually your body forces you to take that gulp of air.
A panic attack is no different, you don´t need to take over for your body and tell yourself when to breathe. Your body will take care of that for you, don´t question it as you start breathing faster and faster and breathe deeper. This is your body feeding itself oxygen for its fight or flight response.
Panic attacks also trigger a rush of blood to your fight or flight muscle groups such as your thighs and calves so you can prepare to spring into action. This means blood is draining away from your fingertips, toes and skin leaving you feeling tingly and possibly numb. This sensation leads many to believe they are having a heart attack.
Fight or Flight response can make you feel dizzy as your blood rushes away from your head, can make you see stars as your pupils dilate and make you nauseous as your digestive system slows down.
This is normal, what´s not normal for panic attack sufferers are when the response is triggered. Panic attack sufferers have their fight or flight engines triggered in situations where it is unwarranted.
You can manage that and reduce the likelihood of your panic attacks by understanding what is happening and employing calming techniques.

Critical Evaluation
(Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
Subtitled A Reminiscence, The Reivers, for which William Faulkner posthumously received the 1963 Pulitzer Prize in fiction, begins on a note of action recalled in memory. About a fourth of the way through the novel, Faulkner finally begins one of his most engaging yarns, a tall tale whose idiom and spirit is reminiscent of a Huck Finn escapade brought forward in time. Its presence in The Reivers is less a matter of imitation than it is of a common source, for there is a sense in which Faulkner stands at the end of a literary tradition rather than, as many of his admirers claim, at the beginning of a new one. Through all of his writing runs a strain of broad folk humor and comic invention going back through Mark Twain to Augustus Baldwin Longstreet's Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents, Etc. in the First Half Century of the Republic (1835) and George Washington Harris's Sut Lovingood's Yarns (1867), and beyond them to the Davy Crockett almanacs and the anonymous masters of oral anecdote who flourished in the old Southwest.
Early Americans were by nature storytellers. The realities of frontier life and their own hard comic sense created a literature of tall men and tall deeds repeated in the trading post, the groggery, the rafters' camp, and wherever men met on the edge of the wilderness. These stories, shaped by a common experience and imagination, had a geography, a mythology, and a lingo of their own. Some were streaked with ballad sentiment, others with bawdy humor, but mostly these tales were comic elaborations of character, of fantastic misadventures in which the frontiersman dramatized himself with shrewd appraisal and salty enjoyment. Through these tales goes a ragtag procession of hunters, peddlers, horse traders, horse thieves, eagles, prophets, backwoods swains, land speculators, and settlers, creating a picture of the country and the times.
Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County lies, after all, in the same geographical belt as the Mississippi River and the Natchez Trace, and this is a region of history, folklore, and fantasy revealed in tall-story humor. This humor came into Faulkner's fiction as early as Mosquitoes (1927), in the account of Old Hickory's descendant who tried raising sheep in the Louisiana swamps and came to feel so much at home in the water that he turned into a shark. It contributes to effects of grotesque outrage and exaggeration in As I Lay Dying (1930), gives Light in August (1932) a warming pastoral glow, adds three episodes of pure comedy to The Hamlet (1940), and provides illuminating...

Metrics have been pointed as a suitable mechanism for improving the software quality. However, the increasing complexity of software projects, mainly in the context of distributed teams, makes the usage of metrics a non trivial task. This work presents how software agents can be used to aid the application of metrics in the collaborative software development process. The focus is to apply agents for promoting flexibility for changes in the metrics, taking into account distributed teams and the integration with existing development environments.

So a little while ago, my manager Emma (hi Emma) asked me to write a post about eyeliners. She wanted to know the best ones out there, you know the ones that last all day and don't leave you looking like Alice Cooper come 6pm. Being that I'm a really nice person (and she is one of my managers after all) I got to researching and trying many eyeliners. After a very lengthy process (soz Emma) I finally have my favourite eyeliners that work. I present to you, the best of the best.. the eyeliner edition.
Truth be told, I have a love/hate affair with eyeliner. Back in the day, I would always wear it on my waterline but these days I prefer it without. I also sometimes have it on my upper lash line, but then other days I feel it makes my eyes look too small. When I was younger, I was much more into eyeliner, and I tried alot of eyeliners to get the perfect look. They were mainly drugstore ones and my favourites still are from the drugstore. Sometimes you really don't need to spend a lot of money to get a good product. I've got three types of eyeliner to tell you about; Kohl (pencil) Gel ( a thicker liquid form) and liquid liner. All three do very different things, and look different but it's important to get the right ones.
Kohl Liner: Pencil Liner: Best for lining the waterline and general smudginess: Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner
Boy have I tried many pencil eyeliners, when I used to love lining my waterline, I used to be obsessed with finding one that lasted the longest. Many would fade within the hour, or just move down to my lower lash line making me look like a Marilyn Manson tribute act. So I was overjoyed when I discovered the Scandeleyes liner from Rimmel. They come in a array of colours, my favourites are the black and nude ones though. Perfectly pigmented for lining your waterline and they last all day. They're also great if you're on a budget and I usually have one of these lying around in my handbag for any emergency touch ups.
Gel Liner: Best for lining the waterline for a more dramatic look or for lining the upper lash line: Maybelline 24hour Gel Eyeliner:
Now if you like a lined waterline, then this is the liner for you. It's so pigmented and it really does last all day and night. I wore this last Saturday night and I was still trying to get it off on Sunday morning. Yes I did do the whole drunk lazy make up removing business. Whoops. But if you want long lasting this is your product. It battles against watery eyes, sweaty climates and pesky flies that fly into your eye. Again a budget buy, a must have for waterline lined fans.
Liquid Liner: Best for lining the upper lash line: L'oreal Superliner Range:
Liquid liner, is the trickiest liner to use in my opinion. Many a time I have ended up with liquid liner near to my eyebrow or on my nose. Don't ask. Not only do you need a steady hand but you need a good liner. You want one that's pigmented, one that won't flake and fade and one that has a nice nib to draw with. I've found that L'oreal's liners are second to none. They're pens are easy to work with, even a cack handed person like myself can do respectable eyeliner and they stay put all day. The pen version is super easy to use and almost foolproof. I'm going to call it; Eyeliner for eyeliner noobs. Myself included there. The nibs are also quite easy to do that sexy cat eye flick look, sadly this is something I cannot master but if you're a bit more steady with your hand try it out with these. I always turn to L'oreal when I want a little liquid liner in my life.
So there we have my top four eyeliners, they all survive the test when it comes to staying put, they all survive the test of being pigmented and they all survive the test of being relatively easy to apply. So to Emma (and anyone else who may of wanted advice about eyeliner) I hope this has helped. Make sure you also have a good eye make up remover to wash away the liner at the end of the day. Eyeliner can be very much like glitter nail polish, in the sense it looks pretty but can be a nightmare to get off! I hope you're all well and I'll see you soon 🙂

Texting, talking and downloading data on smart phones has left wireless carriers struggling with network capacity issues and users dissatisfied with service.
Enter SpiderCloud Wireless, a Silicon Valley start-up that aims to help businesses improve connectivity in office buildings by decreasing the traffic burden on carriers.
SpiderCloud's technology is a system of nodes and a controller that are placed in a building to mimic a cellular network on a small scale. Wireless traffic that normally would be routed, sometimes for hundreds of miles, across the carrier's macro network, is instead handled by SpiderCloud's mini-network indoors.
One challenge SpiderCloud faces is proving itself against other technologies already on the market. One contender is the femtocell, a small cellular base station also used for boosting indoor network capacity in buildings. Akshay Sharma, research director for Gartner's carrier network infrastructure group, sees recent improvements to the technology making the femtocell an increasingly viable solution for network carriers and operators.
Another major hurdle SpiderCloud faces is the operators themselves, which some analysts have criticized for being slow to adopt new technologies that help businesses.
"Using the past as a predictor, it doesn't look good," says Peter Jarich, a research director at market research company Current Analysis. "Does the operator really have the will to move forward and is just waiting for a solution, or has the solution not popped up because the operators have not brought them to the enterprise?"
SpiderCloud is betting that carriers will have no choice but to use its technology. "
SpiderCloud's technology isn't available yet, however. The company is currently in tests with cellular carriers in Europe and hopes to start licensing its technology next year. It also plans to begin trials in the U.S. next year, with the earliest rollout possibly in 2011.
SpiderCloud was founded in 2007 by Peter Wexler, a former vice president of engineering at
