Planned Parenthood Takes Texas Abortion Fight to Supremes
Planned Parenthood and other women's health activists are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to step into their fight to block new restrictions on Texas abortion providers.
The groups filed an emergency petition today to freeze the law after a New Orleans-based federal appeals court last week said the measure could take effect. The appellate court put on hold a trial judge's Oct. 28 ruling that the new limits and requirements were unconstitutional.
"The evidence showed that, absent an injunction, the law would have an unprecedented and devastating effect on women's abilities to obtain an abortion," Janet Crepps, the activists' attorney, said in the application to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who oversees emergency requests for the appeals court thats jurisdiction includes Texas.
Scalia told Texas to respond to the request by Nov. 12.
The high court today dismissed what would have been its first abortion showdown since 2007, backing out of a clash over an Oklahoma law that sought to restrict drug-induced procedures.
The court left intact an Oklahoma Supreme Court decision that struck down a 2011 state law on the grounds it put an unconstitutional burden on women seeking an abortion.
"In just the few short days since the injunction was lifted, over one-third of the facilities providing abortions in Texas have been forced to stop providing that care and others have been forced to drastically reduce the number of patients to whom they are able to provide care," Crepps said.
Overcame Filibuster
Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, signed sweeping new restrictions on abortion into law this year, in spite of a last-ditch effort by Democrats, led by State Senator Wendy Davis, to kill the law with a filibuster.
"We believe the Fifth Circuit panel's unanimous decision was correct and will continue to defend the law before the U.S. Supreme Court," Lauren Bean, a spokeswoman for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, said in an e-mail statement.
Activists sued to block the new restrictions in federal court in Austin. After a three-day nonjury trial last month, U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel granted an injunction permanently preventing Texas from enforcing two measures, including a requirement that doctors have admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles (48 kilometers) of the clinics where they perform abortions.
Admitting Privileges
Planned Parenthood presented evidence at trial that many doctors who perform abortions lacked local hospital admitting privileges in Texas and would have to stop performing them immediately. This would leave women in wide swaths of the second-largest state without ready access to the procedure, the clinics said.
Texas appealed Yeakel's ruling the following day and won an emergency order from the New Orleans appellate court that overturned his decision. The appellate judges said the activists weren't likely to succeed on appeal so Texas should be allowed to begin enforcing its new abortion restrictions right away.
"This can't be what the Supreme Court intended" in establishing guidelines for what restrictions states can legally impose on abortion, Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said on a conference call with reporters.
'Ban Abortion'
"They can't have meant to give politicians and state legislators license to do underhandedly what they can't do directly, which is to pass trumped-up regulations to shut down clinics or ban abortion entirely," she said.
Ken Lambrecht, president of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, said his organization canceled appointments for 100 women who had abortion procedures scheduled for Nov. 1. He said as many as 20,000 women a year seeking abortions in Texas could be turned away unless the court blocks the hospital-privileges law.
"These are women who've made a deeply personal and complex decision, but because of politicians are losing access to their constitutionally protected rights," Lambrecht told reporters on the conference call. "These women will continue to seek this care if it's safe and accessible or not."
Other federal courts have reviewed other states' abortion restrictions, and the Fifth Circuit's ruling in favor of Texas's limits is "an outlier among these opinions," Crepps said.
'All Wrong'
"The majority of courts that have looked at this so far have gotten it right," she said. "The Fifth Circuit got it all wrong."
Scalia can temporarily reinstate the Austin judge's injunction and block Texas from enforcing the admitting-privileges rule by finding the law causes irreparable injury during the time it is being debated in court, Crepps said.
Texas and the activist groups will argue the full merits of the state's restrictions to the New Orleans appellate court in January, Crepps said. The loser could then attempt to bring the case back to the high court for full review.
The case is Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas Surgical Health Services v. Abbott, 13-A-452, U.S. Supreme Court. The lower-court case is Planned Parenthood v. Abbott, 13-cv-00862, U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas (Austin). The appellate case is Planned Parenthood vs. Abbott, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (New Orleans).

A grand jury in Waco, Texas, on Wednesday indicted Devoric Javon Evans, 20; Lamont Tray Davis, 19; Day'tron Derrell Smith, 18; Da'Juan Oshea Degrate, 18; and Cory Darnell Hall, 18; and Douglas Demond Canada, 19. Police say Canada and Degrate convinced the teen to cut class at Waco High School, where all three are students on April 23. The Waco Tribune-Herald reports that when the girl arrived at the home where they were planning to 'hang out,' four other men were there. 'She went with a couple of boys she thought she knew, and then a bad situation became much worse,' Waco police Sergeant Patrick Swanton told the newspaper. When the girl arrived, the men allegedly asked her if she was 'freaky.' Cananda began by raping the girl in the bathroom, according to authorities. Hall told police he heard the girl telling Canada to stop and he refused. According to court, documents, she told police: 'I told him to stop, but he wouldn't. Read more at The DailyMail Online.

Not long ago, social media exploded over "Sharknado," a thoroughly cheesy campfest blending sharks, a tornado, Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and a now-legendary sequence of a chainsaw-carrying Ziering leaping into a giant shark and rescuing a previously consumed woman by carving her out.
Endless replays have followed, along with merchandise, showings of "Sharknado" in movie theaters, and a planned sequel, "Sharknado 2: The Second One."
But Syfy had plenty of crazy shark movies before "Sharknado" and it isn't waiting for "Sharknado 2" to draw fans back. So welcome "Ghost Shark," premiering at 9 p.m. Thursday, following a 7 p.m. replay of "Sharknado."
There's nothing on the level of the Ziering-chainsaw scene in "Ghost Shark." Nor is the cast as high on the tackiness scale. The notables in "Ghost Shark" are "Night Court's" Richard Moll and "7th Heaven's" Mackenzie Rosman.
But when it comes to simple cinematic quality, "Ghost Shark" is on a par with "Sharknado," just not as hilariously extreme. If you accept "Sharknado" as transcendently terrible, "Ghost Shark" ends up merely terrible.
"Ghost Shark" does have a plot, albeit one that Syfy sums up as: "It's a shark that's a ghost. Need anything else?"
Maybe a little more: A shark that's abused then killed returns as a ghost — a translucent, glowing one that is intent on revenge.
But — spoiler alert — because this is a shark that is also a ghost, it can show up anywhere there is water. Let your imagination run wild. The filmmakers did.
Before "Sharknado," it might have inspired Tweets in abundance. But now it's just another bad movie. Need anything else?
Watch it
"Ghost Shark" airs at 9 p.m. Thursday on Syfy.

Everton fightback to secure win
Tim Cahill capped a superb comeback by Everton, scoring the winner as they beat BATE Borisov 2-1 in the Europa League.
The Australian midfielder found the target after 77 minutes, when he sprung the offside trap then hoisted a shot over the goalkeeper.
Everton had equalised nine minutes earlier through Marouane Fellaini, who cancelled out the opener from Dmitri Likhtarovich.
Everton almost took the lead after 13 minutes with Diniyar Bilyaletdinov left cursing his luck. The Russian winger saw his powerful 20-yard shot come back off the post after Ayegbeni Yakubu had carved out the opening.
BATE responded and made the breakthrough with Dmitri Likhtarovich scoring a goal out of the blue, latching onto a loose ball 30 yards out and thumping a shot high over goalkeeper Tim Howard.
That got the home crowd going and gave BATE an early boost - they lost their opening game to Benfica.
Everton almost drew level in the 26th minute when Yakubu released Cahill inside the six-yard box - but the Australian midfielder failed to get a decent connection and his effort was deflected wide. The Australian was left shaking his head in frustration after failing to take a clear chance.
Everton again pushed forward in the 37th minute and Fellaini laid the ball back to Leon Osman, skipper on the night, but his effort was blocked.
Everton drew level in the 68th minute when BATE failed to deal with a Leighton Baines free-kick. Fellaini got on the end of it at the far post and found the corner of the net.
They went ahead in the 77th minute after a swift counter-attack that stunned the hosts. Bilyaletdinov headed the ball on and Cahill sprung the offside trap before hoisting a shot over the goalkeeper.

A new law in 2017 says parents in California have to keep their babies rear-facing until 2 years old.
So, we wondered-- what are the car seat laws in Missouri and Illinois?
Missouri law requires all children less than 1 year old or less than 20 pounds to be rear-facing. After that, children are required to be secured in an approved child safety seat until the age of 4.
In Missouri, children under 40 pounds should ride in a safety seat with a full harness. After they reach 40 pounds, they can be moved to a booster seat. It's recommended children stay in a booster until they reach age 8, 80 pounds, or 4-feet-9-inches.
In Illinois, there is no law requiring children to be rear-facing. The state's Child Passenger Protection Act states children under the age of 8 must be secured in a child safety seat, but if the vehicle is equipped with lap belts only in the back seat, a child wearing more than 40 pounds may be transported in the back seat wearing a lap belt only.
In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended parents to keep their toddlers in rear-facing car seats until they are 2 years old, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.

- The Snake originates near the Continental Divide in Yellowstone National Park in northwest Wyoming and flows south into Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park, then south through Jackson Hole and past the town of Jackson. The river then flows west through Wyoming's Snake River Canyon and exits Wyoming at Alpine Junction, where it enters Idaho at the Palisades Reservoir. Jackson Hole is a valley in the U.S. state of Wyoming. It is located in west-central Wyoming, and gets the name "hole" from early trappers or mountain men, who primarily entered the valley from the north and east and had to descend into the valley along relatively steep slopes, giving the sensation of entering a hole. These low-lying valleys surrounded by mountains contain rivers and streams, good habitat for beaver and other fur-bearing animals.

Why won't he orgasm?
Every time I try to make my boyfriend ejaculate (whether it be a hand job or head) he never does. I have done it for up to 10 minutes constantly, and he never ejaculates. Am I doing something wrong, and what can I do to fix it?...
How do you best position yourself to get eaten out?
How do you best position yourself to get eaten out? I've never thought of oral being appealing (as a girl) but I'm interested in how it would best be played out....
Missed pill and oral sex risks
I have two questions that I'd love to get answered. From the answers I've read here you give really good answers to most the questions. I'm on hormonal birth control, and I was late with two pills this past week and had missed one a bit over a week ago. Yesterday me and my boyfriend had intercourse twice and he came in me both times....
Where should he ejaculate?
I'm 14 and me and boyfriend have been experimenting with oral sex lately.We talked about a blowjob and I said I don't wanna swallow his sperm or have him cum on my face. So he wants to cum on my chest(boobs). Is this pleasurable? If I don't want to to do any of those, where should he cum?...
Anal sex, spermicides, lube and the best expert of all.
I'm 18, and my girl and I have been going out for a year and we have just recently become sexually active so I have a few questions. 1. Is it okay to use spermicidal lubrication,or a spermicidal condom, because I did research and it may harm my girlfriend. I definitely don't want to do that because I truly love her. 2. We've tried anal, and once I ejaculated inside her anus, is that ok?...
Risks from swallowing sperm
Okay I am 15 and yesterday my boyfriend wanted me to meet him up and go have fun so I did. After a while he wanted me to suck his dick so I did and after I realized I swallowed some sperm. Is that okay or will something happen???...
...and he likes me to do to HIM, but won't do to me.
I'm 18 and have been sexually active with my boyfriend for about a year. We've done all sorts of things with each other, including oral sex. However, he refuses to perform oral on me. I've given him blowjobs many times. He says he enjoyed it very much, except he felt bad because he didn't want to reciprocate. He says that if I don't want to give him a blowjob, he would completely understand....
What if a guy thinks my labia are gross?
I've been worried recently due to my labia being different sizes and one being rather stretchy. They have also gone darker in colour. Is this normal, different, a medical problem? I have been searching on the internet for some help on whether this is normal or not. Most articles say size difference is normal but this doesn't make the situation any easier for me....
What he's doing isn't working for me, but how do I tell him that?
My Boyfriend and I are new to doing anything sexual. We are both virgins and have never had intercourse, just oral. How do I tell him what he is doing does nothing for me and doesn't please me without hurting his feelings, and what should I say to him?...
STIs from oral sex and age of consent?
Am I right in thinking that my boyfriend and I cannot catch STIs from each other during oral sex because neither of us have ever been sexually involved with anyone else? Also, I know that sexual intercourse under the age of 16 is illegal but is other sexual contact illegal too? ...

Bradley Dredge took charge of the Made in Denmark on Friday, displacing the trio of overnight leaders and moving three shots clear.
Welshman Dredge was one stroke off the pace at the end of Thursday, with Joakim Lagergren, Thomas Pieters and Tom Lewis topping the leaderboard having shot course-record-equalling round of 62.
Dredge, a two-time winner on the European Tour, ended day one with six birdies from the final seven holes, and he carried that form into Thursday by picking up five shots on the front nine.
A bogey on the 13th hole was immediately cancelled out on the next and the Welshman parred his way back to the clubhouse at 13 under for the tournament.
Bradley Dredge finished second in 2014, 6th last year, and now he's leading Made in Denmark. The Welshman must love the Backtee Course.-- Made in Denmark Golf (@MiDGolf) August 26, 2016
Dredge's closest rival is Lagergren, who sits three shots back after carding a one-under 70 thanks to a birdie at the 14th.
Pieters is joined by Richard Sterne on nine under, while Lewis took 10 shots more to around the course than the day prior to slip to joint-fifth with Adrian Otegui, who surged up the rankings with a five-under 66.
The day's top performer, however, was Englishman Oliver Wilson, who joined Thomas Aiken, Jeff Winther, Soren Kjeldsen and David Lipsky in seventh after shooting a bogey-free 65.
Lipsky could have found himself out of that group after his first putt on the par-three 16th failed to climb a hill on the green and rolled back towards him, but he sunk it at the second attempt to save par.

Martin Kaymer sits tied-26th on three under for the tournament, with Shane Lowry a further shot back in joint-30th.
Andy Sullivan's weekend ended miserably as he dropped three shots on the 18th to drop below the cut line.
Europe's Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke also failed to make the weekend, but the Himmerland crowd showed their support with a swathe of placards displaying a continental star.

2012 "Fighter of the Year" Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire's quest for a fifth division world title, against South Africa's IBF featherweight champion Simpiwe Vetyeka, is a done deal.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that the title showdown is pushing ahead on May 31 at the Cotai Arena of the plush Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Macau and "as a matter of fact we agreed on terms with everybody today (Tuesday) and we are getting the contract to Nonito tomorrow morning. But its all agreed to."
Donaire is coming off a 9th round TKO in a rematch with Australia's hard-hitting southpaw Vic Darchinyan who was leading on the scorecards of the judges before Donaire nailed him with his patented left hook to force a stoppage.
Donaire had earlier dropped a twelve round unanimous decision to WBA super bantamweight champion and former two-time Cuban Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux at the Radio City Music Hall in New York even as Donaire dropped the undefeated Rigondeaux with a solid left hook but couldn't take him out.
Vetyeka. Himself a strong puncher won the world title with a stunning victory over longtime Indonesian world champion Chris John who retired in the 6th round in a fight card in Metro City, Western Australia after being battered by Vetyeka throughout the fight.

Antoniou, A. and Guo, M. and Petmezas, D. (2008) 'Merger momentum and market valuations : the UK evidence.', Applied financial economics., 18 (17). pp. 1411-1423.
This study examines the effect of merger momentum on acquirer's returns both in the short and long-run. The focus is on high valuation markets and the source of momentum is investigated employing three different hypotheses: the neoclassical hypothesis, the hubris hypothesis and the investor sentiment theory. Evidence is provided that supports the investor sentiment (optimism) hypothesis since it is demonstrated that investors earn significant gains in the short run but returns are reversed in the long-run as initial expectations may not be fully met when combined firms' accomplishments become known over time. The results are robust after controlling for several acquirer and deal characteristics.

Pain treatment lacking for a third of cancer patients, study says
Findings are even worse for minorities
Updated 11:56 pm, Thursday, April 19, 2012
Nearly two decades after federal guidelines called for more aggressive treatment of pain associated with cancer, millions of Americans with the disease still suffer unnecessarily because doctors fail to adequately treat their pain, according to a new study.
The study, led by researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, found that a third of cancer patients and survivors have untreated or undertreated pain, an improvement from 18 years ago but still far short of what leaders in the field anticipated.
"Something is clearly not working," said Dr. Michael Fisch, chairman of M.D. Anderson's department of general oncology and the study's lead author. "The barriers to pain relief turn out to be more pervasive than we once thought."
Dr. Charles Cleeland, an M.D. Anderson professor, authored a 1994 pain study that found 42 percent of cancer patients' pain was inadequately treated. His findings led to the Health and Human Services guidelines. Cleeland said he was "disappointed" by the new findings, adding that he expected the number of patients suffering from pain would have diminished.

The study, which was published in this week's Journal of Clinical Oncology, is the largest-ever evaluation of the treatment of pain in cancer patients and survivors in an outpatient setting. It found blacks and Hispanics were twice as likely as Caucasians not to receive pain medication.
Most cancer patients' pain can be well controlled, most effectively with pills. But Fisch noted that treatment is often complicated, sometimes evolving during the course of care as doctors identify a patient's previously unreported pain, change medications or adjust doses.
The new study did not investigate why cancer patients' pain is still not adequately treated. Fisch and Cleeland said common reasons include patients' fear of becoming addicted and doctors' fear of possible punishment by state regulatory agencies that monitor prescribing of high-dose pain killers. Insurance reimbursement of pain medication sometimes is inadequate, they said, and some doctors don't understand the extent of some patients' pain.
Fisch said the field has changed since the mid-1990s, when some leaders claimed pain could be well controlled by simple means in 90 percent of cases and that the risk of addiction in cancer patients was a myth, pronouncements he called overstatements. Still, he admitted to surprise that so many patients' pain is still not being adequately treated, and he could not explain why the Health and Human Services guidelines are not being followed more closely.
More than 19 million Americans have cancer or are survivors of the disease. Another 1.2 million new cases will be diagnosed this year, according to the American Cancer Society.
The study enrolled more than 3,000 people with invasive breast, prostate, colon and lung cancer and at risk for pain at 38 institutions across the country. They included patients in active treatment and survivors seeing doctors for follow-up appointments. Most were being treated by oncologists, not pain specialists.
A patient's experience
The researchers found that significant pain was an issue in two-thirds of patients and that 67 percent of them were receiving adequate treatment. Twenty percent of those reporting severe pain were not receiving any pain medication, and 13 percent were receiving ineffective pain medication.
The study included patients whose pain was caused by their cancer, by the treatment for their cancer or by illnesses they brought to their cancer care. Among those in the middle category was Merrily Chisholm, a 68-year-old Sugar Land woman whose chemotherapy for lung cancer wiped out her immune system and brought on shingles, a dormant virus that causes lasting nerve pain.
"It got worse with every treatment I underwent," said Chisholm, now retired, who battled three different tumors over 5½ years. "We tried everything, but nothing worked until the implantation of a nerve stimulation device this week that seems to distract me from the pain."
Fisch said Chisholm's case shows how complicated pain management can be in cancer patients. Fisch said it's a bit of a mystery why minorities receive less pain management than whites. Some oft-cited reasons, he said, include the cost of some medications, the stigma of certain side effects in those communities and unconscious stereotyping by doctors that minorities might not be good candidates for certain drugs.
"Unfortunately, we're still living in Groundhog Day," said Fisch. "I'm confident that when someone does this study again 20 years from now, things will have changed. I hope this study will be one of the things that awakened us."

for more details on how to build a Ringo based application.
Ringo is Free Software. It is licensed under the GPL license in version 2 or
later. See `<http: www.gnu.org="" licenses="" gpl-2.0="">`_ for more details on the license.
Ringo provides some basic features which are useful if you build your
web application based on Ringo:
* Easy extendible and configurable modular architekture,
* Basic actions for every modul including:
- Search and sortable listing (storeable and configurable)
- Basic CRUD actions
- CSV, JSON import and export
* Role based authorisation.
* Authentication with email registration and password reminders
* Powerfull statemachine to model workflows in moduls.
* Layout and validation of forms using the `Formbar <https: pypi.python.org="" pypi="" formbar="">`_ library
* Internal messenging system
* Logging of useractions
* Versioning of forms (see what changed to the last version)
* Ready to use modules:
- User Profiles
- Comments
- Tags
- Files
- Basic Appointments
* Widely configurable from the web UI.
* Nice console client for various administration tasks.
* ...
The source of documentation comes with the source of ringo and can be found in the
"docs" folder. To generate the HTML version of the documentation please invoke the
following command::
invoke docs
You need to have the sphinx package installed in order to generate the documentation.
A generated (and maybe outdated) version of the documentation is available on
`<http: pythonhosted.org="" ringo=""/>`_
Getting Started
The fastest way to get an impression of Ringo`s core functionallity is to
start the standalone application of ringo with the following steps:
- $ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/ti/ringo
- $ python setup.py develop
- $ ringo-admin db init
- $ invoke docs
- $ pserve development.ini
See Ringo tracker on bitbucket for more feature requests!
The following list is only an incomplete reminder. Items here should be moved
to the tracker.
- Send notification mail when a new user registers a new account.
- Send notification mail when a new user confirms the new account.
Refactoring. Cleanup Model and try to get rid of pyramid specific elements
like the request.
* Removed __json__ method. JSON export is now completely handled in the
Exporter (JSONResponse)

* Fixed automatic translation in connection with mappings.
* Handle case if an attribute returns a BaseList as selected items in
* Text in News is now a Textarea.
IMPORTANT: Application will need some work on application initialisation to
stay compatible with this release:
1. rename add_route to setup_modul
2. Move setup of modules into a "includeme" method.
3. Use config.include("appname") to call the includeme method.
4. setup_finished callback is removed.
- Changed the way how the routing is setup on application initialisation. Now
iterate over all available modules from database and configure the routes
for each modul instead hardcoding the configuration including importing the
modules etc.

of the form. The preview does not support any dynamic now application
specific renderers.
- Write the formbar specific CSS and JS on application start into the ringo
static folder.
- Do not include the JS and CSS code of formbar into the document. Instead use
to dynamically written CSS and JS files to reduce the size of the generated
- Improved password encryption. Replaced use of pythons built in hashlib.md5

the user actually has permission to add new items.
- Add "showsearch", "hideadd", "nolinks" attributes to listfield renderer to
enhance configuration of rendering.
- Render permissions of a role as FieldList.
- Add TodolistRenderer. Render todos in the home view.
- Add Versioned mixin. This mixin can be used to store different versions of
an item. On each update of the item the serialized values of the item will
be saved in the version table. The versions are later used to show
differences between the current and a given prior version in the form.
- Add get_values function to the BaseItem to return a dictionary containing
all values of the item. Optionally the items can be serialized (this
is a very simple serialisation).
- Reorganised automatic logging and changing states. The former version was
implemented as update handler in the mixin classes and was based
on the SQLAlchemy "history" functionallity. Unfortunately this history
wasn't as much reliable as expected in some corner cases. The update handler
was removed and changing the states and logging are now implemented directly
in the save method of the item.
- Replaced route_url with route_path.
- Fixed rendering of links in the dropdown renderer. Consider user permission
on link generation (read/update).
- Added options to the Table renderer to configure the responsive behaviour of
table columns. You can now define which columns should be visible on which
screenwidth. Defaults to show only the first column.

(blobform) items.
- Introduced warnings (formbar 393:bbd7a5192e29). Validate the item on loading
to generate warning.
- Handlers in the statemachine now get the transition as additional parameter.
This is usefull das the transformation gives access to the state,
statemachine and optionally the request.
- Use sorting configuration from table config in DTLists.
- Added paginated DTList.
- Check if the user is still allowed to edit the item after he edited it
(Statechange). If not call alternative read URL.
- Improved performance. Do some caching here and there.
- Added comment modul
- Added tags modul
- Added todo modul
- Added forms module
- Write save method for items like the save method of formbar.
Overwrite the method in Blobforms.
- Overwrite get_attr, get_value method in blobform to handle getting
values from the datafield.
- Think about how to handle multiple forms for one item. Currently
this is hardcoded on itemlevel which form should be used.
- Added UUID field for each BaseItem
- Implement simple Import and Export. Only single items. No relations.
- Added JSON Importer and Exporter
- Added import and export functions in the view for ringo modules
except for the modul modul
- Small layout fixes (flash messages)
- Modules can now be placed in the "user menu" in the top right. Improved
layout of this menu with textual headers.

- Worked on documentation
- Added news modul
- Use "width" from tableconfig also in DTListings.
- Rows in DTLists are now clickable to if the user is allowed to update the
item then the update action will be called on click. Else call the read action.
- Fix URLs for the ReST-Api to match basically the typical URL Schema for CRUD
* GET /items - Retrieves a list of items
* GET /items/12 - Retrieves a specific item
* POST /items - Creates a new item
* PUT /items/12 - Updates item #12
* PATCH /items/12 - Partially updates item #12
* DELETE /items/12 - Deletes #12
Note, that not all actions are actually implemented yet, but for now the url
schema has beed adapted.
- Improved Layout
- Use Bootstrap 3
- Use new formbar lib (bootstrap 3 compatible)
- Optimized space. Removed tabs. Added advanved menu to the context menu for
accessing other content which was formerly placed in tabs.
- Only show links for registering users or password reminders if the mail
system is configured and registering and reminders are enabled in the auth

(Reuters) - The United States suffered a 2-1 defeat to Honduras in San Pedro Sula on Wednesday in the opening game of their CONCACAF World Cup final qualifying round.
Clint Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the 35th minute but a brilliant bicycle kick from Juan Carlos Garcia brought Honduras level four minutes later.
Honduras dominated the second half and went ahead in the 78th minute when striker Jerry Bengtson took advantage of some woeful defending and slotted into an empty net.
The U.S. return to action against Costa Rica in Denver on March 22 as they look to secure one of the three automatic qualification spots from CONCACAF for the finals in Brazil next year.

Villa met zwembad Turkije Blauwe Reis Lycische kust is een prachtig vakantiehuis. In een dennenbos aan de achterkant daling hellingen van de berg Olympos (Tahtali) Adembenemend uitzicht in een rustige omgeving. 10 maanden zonneschijn. Dicht bij de beroemde blauwe vlag stranden, ongerepte natuur en historische bezienswaardigheden. Unieke setting in Beycik buurt van Kemer, op een rustige plek aan de Turkse zuidwest Middellandse Turquoise Lycische kust. Afstand tussen de luchthaven van Antalya ligt op 70km. Dichtstbijzijnde steden zijn Tekirova 11km, 25km Kemer en Kumluca 27km. Beycik Beykent villa's zijn geschakeld, op zichzelf staand berg villa's. Elke villa heeft een eigen tuin aan drie zijden van de villa. De begane grond bestaat uit een open keuken, toilet en een eetkamer / lounge met open haard die uitkomt op een groot terras / balkon met uitzicht op de tuin, bos, bergen en de zee. Boven de eerste verdieping bestaat uit 2 slaapkamers en 1 badkamer / toilet. Een van de slaapkamers heeft een balkon. Beide verdiepingen hebben een totale 110 vierkante meter. In het hart van ... Zeer rustig
Another 5 star review? You bet. If I could give another star I would. Loved the setting...away from the madding crowd. Always about 5'C cooler than down at the coast. Husseyin is as kind and helpful as all the other reviewers have said. And his recommendations for dining were great. We ate twice up in the trees (literally) at Rivera Park. Sublime. We ate everywhere else recommended and they were all great. We did the donkey trek with Christian. We also went river rafting south of Antalya and that was one of the many highlights of our holiday. The kids (11 and 13) loved it. We took the cable car up Mt. Olympos for fantastic views. We did 3 one day cruises. Top tip: don't go from Kemer as you will have 5 pirate ships following you all day with DJ's and loud music that can be heard for miles across the water. Go to Andrasan and contact Captain Engin Bayar (05322228476). He speaks excellent English and like everyone we met was polite and soft-spoken. We did a cruise north of Andrasan on one occasion and all of us agreed that it was the best day ever out on the water in Turkey (and we have done many day cruises over the years). The second day we went south from Andrasan and saw sea turtles and 2 dolphins. Both times it was us and Turkish families, no other foreigners. It was delightful. The price was just 50TL pp (not even £12) and included a delicious lunch.
It is almost a month since we got home and every day at least one of us mentions our lovely holiday. We felt as though we had visited an unspoiled Turkish part of Turkey.
I can only agree with all the reviews below and won't repeat their recommendations, except to say that you should eat at Sibel's; go for a walk with Christian (and his donkeys); use firstrentacar and all the other suggestions!
I want to start by thanking Huseyin for his generosity and time - especially on our last day when we had issues with flight times changing to the very early morning. He organised a lift in minutes to take our parents to the airport. Thanks again Huseyin - we are very grateful.
In terms of the accommodation, it is wonderful to be away from the crowds and the views from the pool are so breathtaking it's ridiculous. My favourite evenings were sitting with my father in law, beating him at chess (ha!) and having an efes as the sun set over the mountains. So our first recommendation is to spend time at the villa as well as trips to the beaches.
In terms of beaches, having visited many of them, our favourites were Phaselis as it is a bit special with the ruins and has good snorkelling. We also liked Adrasan. Saying that, we saw octopus and barracuda at Cirali so that was good too!
In terms of food, we most enjoyed cooking at the villa - buy your fish in Kemer or at the excellent Terikova market. Sibel's was the best restaurant. My biggest tip is for the men to enjoy a wet shave in Terikova and don't miss out on getting your cheeks waxed! There's also a lovely café on the main street in Terikova - great for pasta breakfasts and coffee.
An important tip is on money exchange. Don't go to the exchange shops - they are a rip off. Many of the banks will not exchange to foreigners. However, Deniz bank in Kemer has by far the best rates and were really friendly.
It was a lovely holiday and we hope to return one day. Strongly recommended. Oh yes, and we saw a wild tortoise as we drove down the hill from the villa. You could tell it was wild due to its great speed and savage demeanor!
It's easy to see why the other reviews are so complimentary. What a find!
It's a truly great place for a holiday and it's the perfect summer destination – hot with a welcome breeze, lovely pool, fantastic views, and a comfortable, very well maintained and roomy villa. It's a fantastic escape-away-from-it-all location, but just an easy short trip to the Cirali / Olympos beach and restaurants, or into the small town of Tekirova to stock up on food and drink.
Huseyin made us very welcome and helped with advice on where and when to go to towns / markets / beaches / restaurants so that we got the very best from our stay. The recommended car hire company (FirstRentACarTurkey) was also very friendly and easy to deal with.
One of the other reviews said that if you're trying to decide between here and somewhere else then press the book button – we did, and recommend you do to!
We had a wonderful stay in this oasis nestled in the forested hills beneath Mount Olympos. Hussein, the owner, speaks perfect English and was always on hand to help out with advice about local restaurants and beaches. The grounds are well maintained and in full bloom during July. If you want to be away from the beach areas this is the place to stay as Cirali beach is only a 20 minute drive away. A car is essential, preferably SUV. The shared pool at Beykent is rarely busy and the views of the mountain and coastline are breath taking. Hussein recommended Star restaurant on Cirali beach and we would as well. We were made very welcome by the manager, Umet and had free use of sun loungers and tea/coffee. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and were never disappointed. The restaurants in Beycik village are excellent, especially Sibel's, run by a Turkish lady and her Austrian husband Christian. He is an experienced mountaineer and provides guided treks in the ancient woodlands and even to the top of Mt. Olympus. The local markets in Kemer and Cumyuva are great for fresh produce and we found the Turkish people very friendly
A truly superb place to stay, Huseyin, the owner, is a very nice, attentive and friendly man that made our stay very comfortable. You will be transported to a millionaire's paradise set high up in the mountains, when you're swimming in the pool you have amazing views across countryside down to the sea. A half an hour drive takes you to the best beeches we've ever been too, again with all the owner's recommendations coming up trumps, we're usually a couple that likes to adventure into the unknown but we soon came to realise that following Huseyin's suggestions meant you were surrounded by the best restaurants and private off the book beeches. You will need a car when you are there, but this gives the freedom to explore the area, one week wasn't enough and I'm sure we'll be heading back again in the future, we were worried about driving before we hired a car out there but in honest opinions the driving and roads were all very easy to get used to and the drivers weren't as bad as we expected (we'd been to Morocco recently)! In all it is a truly magical place and whether you're going to explore or relax it is the prefect location to do so from. If you're umming and urring between this or somewhere else I fully recommended pressing the book now button!

In my first post about the beaches of Ecuador, "The Southern Route From Manta", we stopped in San Lorenzo. It has a beautiful beach and amazing views. In this post I would like to take you further down the coast to the next beautiful beach.
This beach is a desolate one; it is Playa San Jose. If you are traveling southward from San Lorenzo, it is only about twenty minutes. If you are traveling from Manta, it is about an hour. You will first see a gated community bearing the same name. After that, you will look for a dirt road that goes off to the right. There is a sign for the beach, so when you start down this dirt road and think that perhaps you are heading in the wrong direction, don't worry; the beach is there. Just keep going. When you get there you won't believe that you have this beautiful area all to yourself. This beach goes for miles and miles, as far as the eye can see.
Another 10 minutes down the main road will bring you to Puerto Cayo. This is a neat and clean town with a neat and clean beach. Again, on the weekends it will fill up with visitors, but during the week you will have it to yourself. There are also places here in Puerto Cayo that have some great seafood. You will find a busier beach if you continue down the road twenty more minutes to Puerto Lopez. As you travel down the highway towards Puerto Lopez, the highway passes Los Frailes beach, set in Machalillia's national park, one of Ecuador's prettiest beaches. Los Frailes has clear warm waters that are great for swimming.
Playa Puerto Lopez has a newly remodeled boardwalk with restaurants and souvenir shops. It is also the hot spot during Whale season. Whale season is July, August and September, and here you can hire a boat to take you whale watching. They also offer trips to Isla de la Plata, otherwise known as the poor man's galapagos. There are lots of things to do here, so, if you choose to stay, there are accommodations.
Back on the road, you will pass many more beautiful beaches as you head to the next stop, Montanita, a popular surf destination. Montanita is a quaint little town with shops and hostels that dot the small town streets. This town has a hippie twist that draws foreigners from all over the world. Montanita is also considered one of the most appealing beaches in Ecuador. If you like lounging on the beach all day and partying at night this is the beach for you.
Another hour south from Montanita you will come to Salinas, Ecuador's largest coastal resort. This is the last beach I will write about on the southern route, even though it is not the southernmost beach. Salinas is a popular tourist spot for people who live in Guayaquil. Salinas is the most popular upscale beach in Ecuador with high-rise condo's and hotels that clutter the coastline. It has a lot to offer for the beach goer.
On the beach in Salinas, shaded chairs are offered for a low price, and the water is warm and calm. There are restaurants, upscale or modest, shops with souvenirs and more. If you enjoy the night scene there are a variety of clubs.
Of these beaches, Los Frailes is my favorite. It is quiet, but not too quiet. The waters are warm and calm. I like to walk the beach, check out the sea life, or make the hike to the top of the hill for the view. Then, at the end of the day, it is a short drive to Playa Puerto Lopez where there is food and shopping. The perfect combination, quiet beach, then food, and shopping to end the day.
Next, I will cover the beaches to the north of Manta in a different post. My all time favorite beach is to the North. Even though it is almost a two hour drive from Manta, it is well worth the drive.

Inside Story
Solomon, Frank, Policy & Practice
As we prepare for our 2006 summer conference, we at the American Public Human Services Association would like to inform you that Policy & Practice has reached a milestone. For the past 18 months, we have been revamping our publication from a dry, scholarly journal into a lively magazine that talks to you in plain English. We have expanded our editorial content, albeit in much shorter articles. We have redesigned the magazine, using attractive graphics and layout to make it easy on the eye.
Most of all, we have been striving to offer you useful and usable content, things that you can apply to your daily tasks. We were determined to make the content inclusive--that everyone in public human service has a place in this publication.
To that end, we have added 11 new departments in the past 18 months:
* "My Turn" for APHSA board directors
* "Technology Speaks" for those who think computers
* "Making Things Happen" for agencies that want to showcase enterprising programs
* "The Field Works," which highlights the work and experience of frontline workers
* "Affiliates' Corner" for our affiliate members to share their news
* "Numbers in the News," statistics that we hope provide food for thought
* "Book Review," on books that we think are important for your work
* "Words on Words," a column that you might find useful if you write
* "Noted Studies," which highlights works of academic and research institutions
* "State and Local News," which showcases the good work of our members
* "Calendar," which informs you of the activities of the association and affiliates
Along the way, we expanded our publication from 32 pages to 40 pages--and you will find 44 pages in this issue. …

The Spark TextInput and TextArea controls support a prompt property
that lets you specify text that helps users know what to enter.
For example, an input field might include prompt text that says
Prompt text appears when the text control is first created. Prompt
text disappears when the control gets focus or when the control's text property
is non-null. Prompt text reappears when the control loses focus,
but only if no text was entered (if the value of the text field
is the empty string).
For text controls, if the user enters text, but later deletes
it, the prompt text reappears when the control loses focus. You
can also cause the prompt text to reappear programmatically by setting
the text control's text property to null or the
empty string.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- sparktextcontrols/BasicPromptExample.mxml -->
/* If you reset the text properties of the TextInput and TextArea controls to null
or the empty string, the prompt text reappears. */

"Quarashi" was a rap/hip-hop band from Reykjavík, Iceland. It was comprised of Hössi Olafsson (replaced by Tiny (real name Egill Ólafur Þorarensen) on the final album), who was the lead vocalist and frontman of the group, Omar Swarez (Ómar Örn Hauksson), who served as a rapper and hype man, and Steini a.k.a. Stoney (Steinar Orri Fjeldsted), who also served as a rapper and hype man. The fourth member of the group was Sölvi Blöndal, who was their producer, keyboardist, percussionist, and drummer. He also helped in the songwriting process. For live shows, Quarashi was joined by a guitarist (Smári "Tarfur" Jósepsson, later replaced with Vidar Hákon Gislason), a bassist (Gaukur Úlfarsson), and a DJ (DJ Dice, later replaced with DJ Magic).
The group has a loyal following, especially in their native Iceland. Each of their records (''Switchstance'', ''Quarashi'', ''Xeneizes'', ''Kristnihald undir Jökli'', ''Jinx'', ''Guerilla Disco'') have sold well in their homeland. Quarashi was a rap group, but they combined elements of rock, techno, and funk into their songs, lending an air of unpredictability in their music. Comparisons to Rage Against The Machine, Eminem, and The B...

When did you feel your baby kick? And started to show?
I turn 20 weeks tomorrow with my first. I have always been a skinny girl who never reached in the 100's on my weight. All you can see on me is a little belly. I still don't show. But my jeans don't button no more. I have felt my baby moving. How would you describe your first baby movements?
And When did you started to show with your first?
Also when did you first felt your first baby kicks and how do they feel?
Thanks ladies :)
Thank you! :) and i hope so.
How do your kicks feel?
Quoting digdug:
I am 24 Weeks now. I started to show around 19 Weeks and at 21 I felt first kicks. Now there's kicking all the time! It's fun. It will happen soon for you I bet. Good luck!
The kicks feel like little bloops. Thats the only way I can describe it. You will definitely know when it kicks. I'll sit on the couch and it will startle me a bit to feel it come out of nowhere. I'm only 22 weeks and started feeling movement at 15-16 weeks but the actual kicks didn't really come unil a bit later. My husband still can't feel baby from the outside.
with my first it was 14 weeks i felt him, and about 6 months when i was finally showing and not just chubby. With this one (my 4th pregnancy, second living child, fingers crossed) I was feeling the movement at about 9 weeks and i have been showing since then as well
I'm almost 17 weeks with my first. I felt the flutters around 13 weeks. To me they feel like someone is tickling me with a feather from the inside. I THINK I have felt a kick, but since I'm not sure, I don't count it as one. =)
Both pregnancies I've shown pretty early. You could tell by about 12 weeks with my first and only by about 8-10 weeks with this one. I'm 32 weeks now and I feel as big as a house lol
At 18 weeks I could feel it through the skin faintly.
By 20 weeks I can feel limbs brushing my insides and actualy kicks and jumps. Sometimes in reaction to loud noises.
Im not showing at all which makes it all a little weird lol....but baby measures around a pound :)
With #1 I started showing at about 24 weeks, I felt kicks at 16 weeks, it was a couple quick precise kicks and just amazing! :) I can't wait to feel that again!
I am 24 weeks today, I started feeling little "popping gas bubbles" (which I believe are first movements) at around 17/18 weeks, by 20 weeks I was feeling little kicks... and now I got full on whacks in the ribs and stomach LOL - best feeling I have ever had in my life.
I am tall and moderately thin too (pre pregnancy I was 127 and I'm 5'7) - I started getting a little belly at 16 weeks and right around 21/22 weeks is when I really popped. I'm still not that big - people are just starting to ask me if I am pregnant, but they are hesitant because sometimes it just looks like I ate a big meal. LOL There is a girl in my office who is having her first baby as well and we are only 2 weeks apart - but she looks way bigger than me, so I think it depends on the person.
Best of luck to you!

Brandi Glanville did a quick interview on Hello Ross last night to dish about her feud with Lisa Vanderpump, her legal money issue with Eddie Cibrian, taping the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion (including why Joyce Giraud should be in Russia), her sons and more!
Let me start by giving her a little credit – this is not a flattering picture, trust me that Brandi was looking good on the show last night. Her hair is a softer blonde now and that "filler puff" is going away a little more each time we see her. The photo angle is bad, but her outfit was cuter than it looks here and the color was good on her.
Ross starts off with: "Your ex-husband is suing you for…"
Brandi: "Money"
Ross: "Child support? So, you marry a big TV star and you give up your modeling career." As Ross says "big TV star" Brandi makes a face and sort of shakes her head "no" at that part and he asks about it. She says "then why does he want MY money?"

The incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide. Because of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with type 2 diabetes, it is imperative to propose methods of prevention and this in early stage of abnormal glucose metabolism.
This study will assess the beneficial effects of physical activity (acute and chronic effects) (the subjects being their own controls) on cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in 3 conditions : unstimulated (fasting and resting conditions) and stimulated conditions: postprandial response to a standardized meal preceded or not by an exercise bout.
The investigators hypothesized that an acute bout of exercise will decrease the postprandial inflammatory response to a standardized meal and that this effect of exercise will be increased after 3 months of exercise training.
|Condition or disease
|Overweight/Obesity Glucose Intolerance Type 2 Diabetes Sedentarity
|Behavioral: Behavior: Supervised physical training
This is a prospective study over 4 months, open, nonrandomized. 45 overweight or obese male subjects will complete 3 experimental sessions (0700-1400h) before and after 3 months of supervised physical training. During a first session, subjects will remain inactive and fasted (basal conditions). During the second session a standardized meal will be offered (postprandial response to a standardized meal). The third session will consist in the realization of an exercise bout (60min at 60%VO2 max) followed by a standardized meal (same meal that the previous day).
Several blood (catheter), salivary and urinary samples will be collected during the 3 sessions, throughout the experimental day.

I'm searching for 2 day how to create a dynamic form using ASP.NET and Visual Basic. I'm going to explain my problem;
Use a series of
<asp:Panel> elements. These will render as HTML
<div> elements. They all have a Visible property. Each one should contain the different sets of form elements that you want to be visible. In your code behind you can set the panels' Visible property True or False depending on which radiobutton was chosen by the user. In that way you can have one form, but where different parts of the form are displayed in different circumstances.

How to Make Tehran Blink; the Best Way to Prevent a Nuclear Iran Is for America to Offer the Kind of Security Assurances That Might Reduce Support for a Nuclear Arsenal
Byline: Scott D. Sagan (Sagan is professor of political science and director of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University.)
Given Tehran's defiant response to the European and American effort to constrain its nuclear program, it is time for bolder diplomacy out of Washington. U.S. President George W. Bush should take a page from the playbook of Ronald Reagan, who negotiated with an evil Soviet regime--competing in the war of ideas, but addressing the enemy's security concerns through arms-control agreements.
Iran's intransigence is both deeply unfortunate and perfectly predictable. It is unfortunate because Tehran's refusal to suspend its uranium-enrichment operations immediately--as demanded in July by the U.N. Security Council in a legally binding resolution--suggests that Iran is moving more quickly than expected toward a nuclear-weapons capability. Tehran has now turned the nuclear crisis into a test of the whole U.N. Security Council system. And Russia and China's current position, threatening to veto any biting sanctions against Iran, suggests that the Security Council may well fail this crucial test.
Tehran's response is predictable, however, because the offer on the table contains both inadequate economic carrots and barely credible threats of sanctions and military force. The carrots appeared impressive at first glance--in return for a suspension of enrichment we reportedly promised to provide light-water nuclear reactors and to help Iran with civil aviation and telecommunications technology. But we did not offer the one incentive that might possibly work, security guarantees that could reduce Iran's desire for nuclear weapons.
This omission is striking. The Iranian government can't talk openly about their security concerns because that would blow their cover story that the nuclear program is only for energy production. And Washington does not want to discuss such worries because it wants to keep open the possibility of removing the regime by force. "Security assurances are not on the table," U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice too cleverly argued this spring: "It is a little strange to talk about security guarantees ... I thought the Iranian position was that they weren't developing a nuclear bomb."
This is partly a crisis of our own making, as the Bush administration has practiced the reverse of Teddy Roosevelt's maxim--speaking loudly and carrying a small stick. Think about how Tehran reacted when Bush stated (in his second Inaugural Address), "The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: 'Those who deny freedoms to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it. …

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Missouri Senate has given initial approval to a measure making it illegal for motorists of all ages to text while driving.
Missouri already bars drivers 21 and younger from writing, sending or reading text messages while operating a vehicle.
Senators gave first-round approval Wednesday to legislation extending the prohibition to all drivers, regardless of age. It needs another Senate vote to go to the House.
The bill also provides for Missouri to issue just one license plate per motor vehicle, with some exceptions. Republican Sen. Matt Bartle, of Lee's Summit, said doing away with mandatory front and rear plates would save the state money.
