Warning: Explicit material
Common decency appears to be dead in this town – either that or this guy was just seriously sexually frustrated.
The man, who appears to be naked, was caught having sex with a tree in broad daylight in a town thought to be in Florida.
The sexual encounter was spotted by one driver who stopped in shock and started filming the incident.
Footage shows the bearded man up against the trunk right by the side of the road with his clothes on the floor.

In the short clip, which lasts just 30 seconds, the man is seen thrusting his hips against the tree as the horrified cameraman looks on in shock.
He can be heard in the background saying: 'Are you serious? What the f*** is going on? Wow this is really happening right now?'

The video was posted to LiveLeak on Saturday and has since gone viral, with many people suggesting that the man is on the drug Flakka.
Last year, another man from Florida, who was caught by police committing a similar sex act, was found to have taken the insanity drug.
It is not clear whether the man was apprehended for the recent incident.

Scotland and Norway share an ocean, share a spirit of adventure and share a passion for their heritage.
And in a series of remarkable one-off nights in Aberdeen, the best grassroots talent from both nations are to come together on the same stage for an unforgettable melding of the musical souls of two great nations.
Aberdeen Performing Arts (APA) is committed to developing local and international musical collaborations and their Northern Arc sessions team up the best of our home-grown talent with the best from across the Northern hemisphere in exclusive Music Hall concerts.
Celebrating the Nordic soul which links the northern nationalities, the one-off events also promote positive integration of diversity through art and culture.
For the series is not just about music – and the pre-show events in the Music Hall café includes presentations about Norwegian traditions, artists and links between Scotland and Norway.
They will bring together Norwegian artist Ingeborg P Bodzioch, photographer and musician David Officer who has met with the Norwegian Royal Family and Aberdeen University professors in informal talks about Norwegian poetry, music and traditions.
And the explosive new series begins this year with an exclusive pairing of Scotland's beloved own singer-songwriter Karine Polwart and Norwegian folk star Sigrid Moldestad on Saturday, February 7.
The second in the series – on Friday, April 3 – brings together the Karen Matheson Band with the Erlend Viken Trio.
A Gaelic singer whose voice is known the world over, Karen and her band will join the Norwegian trio in exploring new approaches to the medium of Gaelic and traditional song with the influence of the Norwegian hardanger fiddle, interested in folk/old-time music/Norwegian desert blues, as played by Erlend.
In the third concert of the series, on Saturday, June 27, modern folk music's most innovative band Lau - brilliant musicians, thrilling performers and free-thinking visionaries – have chosen the stunning Norwegian trio Valkyrien Allstars, led by the incomparable singer / fiddler Tuva Livsdatter Syvertsen to join them onstage at the Music Hall.
On all three nights, the Music Hall bar will be open for an hour of post-show drinks to give concert-goers the chance to meet the artists and informal networking.
Tickets for the concerts are available online at www.aberdeenperformingarts.com, by phone at 01224 641122 and at Aberdeen Box Office at the Music Hall and His Majesty's Theatre.

How Proactiv's Luxurious Skin Care Routine Helps Fight Blemishes
If you're looking for an alternative blemish control solution, Proactiv has it covered. By using our products, you can target breakouts before they even happen. Proactiv is a combination solution that targets blemishes and blackheads at the source, and gently exfoliates to leave your skin looking healthy and beautiful.
All blemishes begin with one basic lesion: as the skin continues to produce more oil, bacteria flourish within the swollen follicle, resulting in the surrounding skin becoming increasingly inflamed. White blood cells battle the intruders.
Though all pimples start the same way, they can take many forms and may behave differently from person to person. By taking advantage of our skincare routine, in addition to calming existing pimples and blackheads, the solution proactively helps deal with breakouts before they start.
Attain glowing and blemish-free skin
The most important thing to remember about breakouts is they're not your fault.
Contrary to popular belief, breakouts are not caused by anything you're doing – what you eat, how often you wash your face or workout – but by a combination of factors at work far beneath the surface of your skin.
Lots of people suffer from blackheads and blemishes, but by using the combination of solutions we have on offer, you can benefit from clear skin. Our blemish system is more than just effective – it's also easy and desirable to use.
Proactiv is soothing, feels great on the skin and has a pleasant aroma, and best of all, it works to encourage great skin that's blemish-free.

If you wanna refer to the process as shielding. Remember I'm a TI whos not one of the engineer or science types we have in our community.
I pretty much write what I observe while traveling as a Target as well as offer solutions that have worked for me which I always stress may not work for other demographics of people targeted.
I come up with very folkish solutions which like all folk medicine have scientific merit but mostly based in common sense and PROBABLY would be alot more effective if we had labs and educations-but then we'd all have been killed off by now for genuinely knowing too much or we'd have joined the other side.
Also consider Im pretty isolated from thr TI community as the bad guys within made sure of that from day 1.
I simply dont have time nor discernment to go through info about the tech part of being targeted.
But I do find things that work..I just dont always know why they do.
Btw always consider that the scientific community is bullshitting. For instance the infamous tin hat worn by many crazy people (who knows how many are just working for the shadow system in trying to discredit actual targeted people)
An MIT kid did a study. Oh boy. Of course it doesnt show it works.
However he didnt go further to show thst if metal ENVELOPES say an RFID chipped card then this concept IS effective. Which is how the concept of blocking cases and bags came into being to protect people from identity theives while traveling.
So the man on the street is somehow smart ENOUGH to know part of the solution or have enough sense to go in the right direction but simply cannot complete a workable solution due lack of education, resources and probably operating sleep deprived, brain damaged and half crazy DUE TO BEING TARGETED.
Human animals are smart. Smart monkeys get the bananas and we all formulate solutions if survival necessitates it.
Its the educated people who can con everyone becuz they know how to manipulate information or what to omit to prove or disprove something.

If you're doing a mailing using the ML-3000, here are a few tips to make your mailing easier. Looking at the ML-3000, you'll notice that there are perforations between each of the three columns. Separating these columns makes peeling the labels from the page much easier.
If you're using the ML-0200 half sheet labels, don't peel the label off of the sheet, peel the backing sheet off of the label. That way the paper won't curl so much, and will be easier to apply.

With countless of pesticides on the shelves of grocery stores, durg stores, and hardware stores, that should show you how much pesticide we are pumping into our society. Each year there is news of a pesticide spill that cause havoc on our planet and water supplies. Bugs such as mosquitoes have been know to transmit diseases. We are often forced to put pesticides on our skin to ward of unwanted pest. At Truly Green Pest Service we are experts in the use of essential oils for pest control. We have over 25 years of pest control under our belt. With that type of knowlege and the use of essential oils and our botianicl solutions we have created a winner. For more information contact Truly Green Pest Service.
Lavender Oil:
Lavender oil is one of my favorites when battling bed bugs. The scent is notious to bed bugs but pleasant to the user. Not only bed bugs but all kind of bugs. Lavender with other botanical solutions that Truly Green Pest Service use makes a win combination for keeping your home free of pest.
Orange Oil Pest Control:
Orange oil is one that stands high above alot of traditional pesticides. This essential oil can wipe out entire colinies of ants as well as many other bugs...including bed bugs. D-limonene the main inert ingrediant is harmless to the user but dangerous to the insect by causing dehydration as well as asphyxiation. It destroys the waxy coating on insects. For example: COCKROACHES
Rosemary Oil:
Rosmary acts as a repellant. And it is potent to the senses of insects. Rosamary can even control flies, fleas and mosquitoes. Rosemary even is great in the control of cabbage looper catepillar who destroys million dollars of crops each year.
The best essential oils for bugs are as follows:
- Ants: Peppermint, Spearmint
- Mosquitoes: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cinnamon, Rosemary, lavender, lemon grasss
- Flies: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Geranium, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Melaleuca, Rosemary
- Spider: Peppermint, Spearmint

Suspect in Las Vegas shooting, crash arrested in L.A., sources say
A suspect wanted in connection with a shooting and crash last week on the Las Vegas Strip that left three people dead was arrested Thursday in Los Angeles, sources said.
Ammar Harris, 26, was taken into custody by FBI agents and Los Angeles police in the San Fernando Valley around midday, sources said.
Las Vegas police described Harris as "armed and dangerous" with an "extensive and violent criminal history" when they named him as a suspect two days after the Feb. 21 shooting, which officials believe began as a predawn altercation in the valet parking lot of the Aria resort hotel.
PHOTOS: Shots fired on the Las Vegas strip
Authorities said two vehicles left the parking lot onto Las Vegas Boulevard: a Range Rover believed to be driven by Harris, and a Maserati driven by Kenneth Cherry Jr., an Oakland native and aspiring rapper known as "Kenny Clutch."
Police allege that Harris opened fire on the Maserati, peppering the vehicle with bullets. The sports car sped into the intersection at Flamingo Road, where it rammed a Yellow Cab. The taxi exploded, killing the driver and passenger inside.
Four other vehicles were involved in the fiery crash, officials said.
Interactive map: Shooting in Las Vegas
Both Cherry and a passenger in the Maserati were taken to an area hospital, where Cherry was pronounced dead, police said. Three other people were injured in the crash.
The Range Rover was discovered two days after the shooting at a Las Vegas-area apartment complex, police said.

This year the annual ecumenical service held at Crossraguel Abbey was a bit special.
Organised by Maybole Council of Churches, the event centred on the 500th anniversary of Maybole being made a burgh and there were some special guests.
Instead of being held at the beginning of gala week, the service was held on the day following gala day which allowed the Gala King and Queen of Carrick, Jack Gemmell and Letia McGeachie from Cairn Primary, to attend in their full regalia.
The service was led by Rev Andrew Baldock of St Oswald's, and the opening prayer was offered by Bishop Gregor Duncan, Scottish Episcopalian Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway.
Rev Jim Guthrie, Church of Scotland, read from Ecclesiastes 3:1-18 and the homily was given by Bishop William Nolan, Roman Catholic Bishop of Galloway who spoke of the long history of Christianity and pilgrimage represented by Crossraguel Abbey. A prayer of thanksgiving and blessing was offered by Rev Stephen McGarva, Pastor of Wigtown Baptist Church and Interim Moderator of Maybole Baptist Church.
The Gala King and Queen were given a blessing by Bishop Duncan and the Maybole primary schools choir sang "Amazing Grace" and "This Little Light of Mine" with lively enthusiasm. The service closed with a final blessing was by Bishop Nolan, after which those attending then headed to the Carrick Centre for tea and scones.
Other invited guests were included the Marquess and Marchioness of Ailsa, Lord David and Lady Anne Kennedy; Provost Helen Moonie, Canon John McGee, Rev Richard and Mrs Margie Moffat, Rev Noel and Mrs Moya McCullins and Lady Marguerite Hunter Blair.
Thanks go to Maybole Council of Churches for organising the event together with the Community Association; also Historic Environment Scotland for permission to use the Abbey.

Chinese New Year preparations for the new lunar year begin weeks in advance. After all, starting into the new year on the right foot is crucial. It sets the potential for the next 12 months. Luck, health, and prosperity need to know that they are more than welcome to hang around in the upcoming year.
Just as the traditional January 1 New Year celebration, observing Chinese New Year is about having an opportunity for a fresh start. Conveniently, the Lunar New Year is typically later in January or February. If you've already broken those January 1 resolutions, you could start again for Chinese New Year!
Regardless, some old traditions — and a handful of superstitions — have people throughout the world making Chinese New Year preparations leading up to the 15-day event.
Unlike our January 1 New Year's Eve celebration, the Chinese New Year festival is considered to be the most important 15 days of the year. It sets the potential for the upcoming year's prosperity and fortune.
All measures are taken to increase the odds that as much good fortune as possible will be received during the celebration. Even windows are opened to allow good luck to come inside!
Preparing the House
With so much to be done, Chinese New Year preparations typically begin a few weeks before, especially if you'll be hosting a party.
Traditionally, the house is swept, cleaned, and decorated for optimal feng shui. The spring cleaning done before Chinese New Year is usually the most thorough of the entire year; it's the time to clean out all those drawers! Broken items, dead plants, and all clutter should be thrown out to make room for better things that are sure to come.
Finish all of your cleaning before the holiday arrives. Sweeping the house during Chinese New Year is considered unlucky, as you could be sweeping the new, incoming good luck away!
Avoid doing any cutting during Chinese New Year. Prune plants and shrubs before the holiday begins.
Red banners adorned with Chinese calligraphy — known as chunlian — are hung around the house to usher in prosperity in the new year.
Clean Yourself
Since cutting done during Chinese New Year is considered unlucky, hair and fingernails should be trimmed in advance. Most families want to look their best for visits with loved ones and photographs, so new clothes or accessories — preferably red — are often purchased.
If red just isn't your color, you can get by with a pair of red underwear during Chinese New Year — yes, it's a tradition! Even a red bracelet, piece of jewelry, or ribbon tied around the wrist will do.
With many businesses shut down the first few days of the holiday, shopping should be done as early as possible. As with every holiday, stores hold special sales and promotions to cash in.
Here are a few items to remember:
- Food: Groceries for the festival dinners and regular meals need to be purchased in anticipation of the holiday. Store shelves are often ransacked the week before Chinese New Year. You're sure to be traveling or hosting guests, potentially both, so lots of snacks are in order. Dumplings are a must — they're good for prosperity.
- Clothing: Chinese New Year is a time to look your best; new wardrobes are purchased for family gatherings, temple visits, and public celebrations. Red is the color of choice. White and black clothing should be avoided during Chinese New Year. Don't forget to purchase red underwear or a red bracelet for the days that you cannot wear another red outfit!
- Gifts: Small gifts and tokens of love are exchanged during Chinese New Year, so purchase candies, small cakes, trinkets, and candles. Children typically receive money or sweets placed inside of red envelopes known as hong bao. Alcohol, tea, fruit, flowers, and sweets make great Chinese New Year gifts for party hosts — don't show up empty-handed! If you choose to give fruit, give oranges, and make sure that baskets do not include pears. Avoid gifts that are considered unlucky, such as umbrellas.
- Lanterns and Candles: Paper lanterns and tea-light candles will be needed for the Lantern Festival on the 15th — and final — day of Chinese New Year.
Flower Market
Special flower markets can be found during Chinese New Year that sell flowers and small gifts. Flowers are used to freshen up homes, as gifts for hosts, and to help spark romance. In short, you're going to need a lot of flowers.
Don't just blindly purchase flowers based on appearance; all colors and species have symbolic meanings! Avoid white flowers — they are usually used for funerals, particularly chrysanthemums. Orchids make a great choice, but know that they represent fertility and abundance. Peach and plum blossoms are very positive choices to give hosts.
Settle Old Debts
In an act of good karma, old debts of all kinds to friends and family are repaid prior to Chinese New Year. This is the time to return borrowed items; give your neighbor back that tool you borrowed months earlier. If a friendship has worn thin, reach out to that person. Forgive grudges, and give people who have wronged you in some way a chance to start anew.
Prepare for Good Luck
The whole point of Chinese New Year preparations goes beyond getting ready to enjoy feasts, fireworks, lion dances, and drinking sessions — although there are plenty of those! It's a time for family reunions, new beginnings, renewed romance, and new potential for a year to come.
The 15-day Lunar New Year holiday sets the tone for the upcoming year. Every aspect of daily life, down to the most minute detail, during the Chinese New Year celebration should be focused on attracting luck and good fortune for the rest of the year.

Air Tanzania attracts $20m bid
South African Airways has offered to pay $20m (£12.8m) for a 49% stake in Air Tanzania.
If the bid is accepted, it will be the South African airline's first acquisition outside its home market.
"SAA intends to establish and develop a strong East African hub based on a Tanzanian branded and network carrier," said a spokesman for the group.
SAA emerged as the only bidder after Kenya Airways said it would rather concentrate its efforts on establishing a regional East African airline.
Tanzania, one of the world's poorest countries, is privatising up to 75% of its airline in order to meet obligations to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
Small-scale operation
Established in 1977, Air Tanzania owns one plane and leases two others.
Based in Dar-es-Salaam, it serves the East African cities of Nairobi, Entebbe and Kigali, and sporadically flies to a handful of Central and Southern African capitals.
SAA is Africa's biggest carrier and is in the process of acquiring 41 Airbus planes.
It has recently introduced new routes to Ethiopia and Senegal.
There is no immediate indication of how it plans to finance the purchase if its offer is accepted.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice approved Google's acquisition of ITA Software, allowing the two companies to proceed with the deal that was first announced last year. ITA Software pioneered the airfare search matrix that fuels many online flight-price comparisons, and the company licenses its software to a number of clients. Google intends to honor all existing ITA contracts and has publically stated that ITA customers will have the opportunity to extend their contracts through 2016. "How cool would it be if you could type 'flights to somewhere sunny for under $500 in May' into Google and get not just a set of links but also flight times, fares and a link to sites where you can actually buy tickets quickly and easily?" wrote Google senior vice president Jeff Huber in a blog post on Friday. The two companies will work at creating such synergies just as soon as they close the deal, which they are working to accomplish as soon as possible, wrote Huber. The proposed acquisition has drawn protests from online travel agencies and metasearch sites, which claim such an arrangement will harm competition.

"Over the next decade, the level of automation will further increase, and this will accelerate growth. Additionally, we expect a rise of new and attractive pack styles. These trends will lead to more flexible and technically advanced machines that are robust, safe and easy to operate and maintain," Gourish said.
"Bosch's packaging technology business in India has come a long way. Over the past two decades, the business has focused on staying customer-oriented and this has yielded positive results. Globally, Bosch Packaging Technology has an installed base of over 1,700 machines coming from India," said Bosch Packaging Technology's president Friedbert Klefenz.
On the importance of the region to the global packaging business, Klefenz said, "India's economic growth and market potential favours our business. Local operations continue to be pivotal to Bosch Packaging Technology's global growth strategy."

Exercise quadriceps
You use your quadriceps when you walk, run, squat or jump, so it is a large muscle group used almost all the time. Therefore it is important to exercise quadriceps.
Exercise quadriceps femurs, which is the latin name, or that most people call them, your quads. However the quadriceps is a large group of muscles in your leg, on the front of your thigh. The quadriceps has four parts: rectus femurs, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius, and they have the function to extend and bend the legs at the knee.
As soon as you get out of the couch you are using this muscles, when you are walking, running, squatting down or jumping up. So it is important to be strong in, and exercise quadriceps. You also have to keep in mind that you want to exercise all parts of the muscle group, so you have to do a variety of exercises.
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU EXERCISE QUADRICEPSKeep your feet under your hips when you exercise, then you will use your quads. It also makes a difference where your toes are pointing. Work on your outer quads by pointing them in, and point them out to work on the inner quads some extra.
EXERCISE QUADRICEPS - SQUATSSquats is a common and good way to exercise quadriceps. Do the squats with a barbell across your shoulder to gain the best result, but you can also do it by holding a kettlebell with both hands or a dumb-bell in each hands while squatting.
Keep your torso straight and go down to almost a sitting position. Pause and raise yourself up again.

Jayasuriya warns of Indian backlash
The dashing Sri Lankan batsman says the Indian ODIs outfit wears a completely different look to the team that lost the Test series to the Lankans, reports Anand Vasu. Spl: Mission Sri Lankacricket Updated: Aug 14, 2008 10:57 IST
One man the Indian team did not have to contend with in the Test series was Sanath Jayasuriya and though he will come hard at them in the one-day internationals starting on August 18 in Dambulla, they will take heart from his words of support for the beleaguered middle order.
"These things happen, you've got to expect that," Jayasuriya said soon after a promotional event. "I can't understand how one bad series can make them no good anymore, and how people can start speculating about their futures."
Jayasuriya had special praise for his Mumbai IPL captain and teammate, Sachin Tendulkar. "Sachin has had a long career and when you play for that long, you are bound to have a series like this," he said.
"He was scoring all those runs in Australia not too long ago. He sets high standards for himself and I am sure he will bounce back. The unfortunate thing was that India had a few players going through a bad patch at the same time."
Virender Sehwag was one of the few Indian batsmen to escape the batting blues and Jayasuriya, somewhat expectedly, pointed to an aggressive approach in explaining his success.
"Sehwag is completely different. His hand-eye coordination is exceptional. It's good that he didn't change his style after a disappointing outing in the first Test."
The Indian limited-overs outfit wears a completely different look to the team that lost the Test series but Jayasuriya warned the visitors would be looking to come back strongly.
"It will be an exciting series. Yes, we have beaten them in the Tests, but complacency is the last thing we want to see. Their pride will be hurt, so they'll want to make sure they go home with a win in the one-dayers."
Jayasuriya, who does not play Test cricket, has had no competitive cricket since the Asia Cup final, more than a month back, but he is confident there will be no rustiness when he takes the field.
"There hasn't been any domestic cricket, so I haven't spent time in the middle," he conceded. "But that's part and parcel of the game. You've got to be prepared for the challenge. These are the demands of international cricket."
Dhoni laments Sachin's loss
By now it surprised no one when the first question Mahendra Singh Dhoni had to answer was just how he and his team planned to tackle Ajantha Mendis. The one-day wonders rolled into the team hotel a bit later than expected after their flight from Bangalore was delayed, but even before Dhoni had a chance to catch his breath the Mendis query came his way.
"I'll just ask Mahela if he will lend Mendis for a couple of practice session. If not, then…" Dhoni began in a characteristic lighter vein. "We will have to deal with it in a personal way, we can watch 1000 videos of what he does, but its is up to the individual to play him on the turf. It depends on your frame of mind."
If that was the obvious question, the crucial one took some time coming, but eventually talk veered away from Mendis, and one of India's own, Sachin Tendulkar, who was forced to pull out of the five-ODI series at the last moment after he injured his left elbow in the course of the final Test.
"It's difficult to fill the space left by Sachin Tendulkar. It's not just his contribution with bat and the ball, but he comes up with brilliant suggestions and advices on the field."

It's got to get sunny some time soon right? Pretty please?
Because there are so many spring trends we want to try out [stamps foot impatiently]. If you feel just a tad impatient (like us) for the new season to get underway, then you'll want to take a look at Debenhams latest ad campaign video.
It's the next installment to their "Life Made Fabulous" campaign. The video was shot in South Africa, which really does look rather fabulous. Beautiful backdrops aside, what stands out the most are the clothes. Debenhams is a pioneer in the designer-collaboration world; creating collections with Jasper Conran, Ben de Lisi, and many others that are as high in the fashion stakes as they were low in the financial ones. In fact, a Jonathan Saunders Red coat was Debenhams' fastest-selling coat ever, in the last Christmas campaign. Personally, we've got our eyes on the Ben de Lisi for Principles striped skirt, a snip at £38 — we may need to buy two. After all, we are in need of a bit of pick-me-up.

Surgeon General's Stand on AIDS Turns Allies Into Critics, Foes Into Followers
by Albert R. Hunt, Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON — C. Everett Koop has aroused both passionate
support and passionate opposition ever since he was named
surgeon general of the U. S. almost seven years ago.
That isn't unusual in Washington. What is unusual is that
his original passionate supporters — mainly conservatives —
now are the vehement critics, while he has won over some of
his most ardent liberal foes.
This says something both about the independent-minded Dr.
Koop and the changing social agenda in the country. When he
came into office, abortion was the major social issue; Dr.
Koop is a dedicated right-to-lifer. Today, AIDS is the top
social concern, and his advocacy of sex education, the use of
condoms and his refusal to bash the homosexual life style
have made him a darling of the public-health community and
many liberals.
Whether or not one likes his views, Dr. Koop has done more
than anyone else in government to try to mobilize Washington
and the nation on the AIDS issue. "He has been very effective
in bringing attention to the AIDS issue in a very sensitive
and thoughtful way," says Harvey Feinberg, dean of Harvard
University's School of Public Health.
Dr. Koop turned out a 36-page booklet on AIDS last year
that surprised many of his earlier champions and critics. He
insists that AIDS is a deadly epidemic and that radical
measures must be taken to combat it. While he advocates
sexual abstinence and marital monogamy, he says that the real
world demands other measures. Thus, he supports sex education
in elementary schools, and has called on physicians to
recommend condom use for sexually active people, homosexual
and heterosexual. He also has blasted physicians who refuse
to treat AIDS patients for engaging in "unprofessional
Dr. Koop has been decidedly cool toward calls for
widespread mandatory testing to uncover possible AIDS
carriers. He argues that such testing would serve mostly to
drive underground victims who need treatment. These stands
have endeared him to many public-health and medical
professionals as well as to homosexuals and political
liberals; at the international conference on AIDS last June,
while other administration officials were greeted with
hostility, the 71-year-old Dr. Koop was welcomed as a hero.
But this has infuriated many of the conservatives who once
viewed him as one of their own. Last spring, a number of
politicians seeking conservative approbation — including
presidential contenders Robert Dole and Jack Kemp — withdrew
at the last minute as sponsors of a dinner honoring the
surgeon general. California Rep. William Dannemeyer, a
conservative Republican, charges that Dr. Koop "has abrogated
his responsibilities on this issue."
Few medical experts share that view. But most do recognize
that there are real institutional limits on how far a surgeon
general can go and how effective one can be: The job involves
less policy setting and more of a bully pulpit. "His handicap
is that he's a general with no troops," observes Harvard's
Dr. Feinberg.
That's especially true given the administration's deep
divisions over AIDS issues. While the surgeon general
generally gets backing from his boss, Health and Human
Services Secretary Otis Bowen, he is fiercely opposed by such
ranking conservatives as Education Secretary William Bennett,
who feels the Koop approach ignores the moral dimension of
the AIDS issue, and Gary Bauer, the hard-liner who heads the
White House domestic policy council.
The anger of some conservatives is doubtlessly amplified
by their earlier admiration for Dr. Koop. Besides his
anti-abortion stand, he once labeled amniocentesis, a medical
test that spots birth defects, as a "search and destroy
mission." He also pushed regulations that would force
hospitals and doctors to treat severely handicapped newborns
even over the objections of their parents.
Dr. Koop apparently hasn't changed any of these views —
the idiosyncratic surgeon general says he's too busy for an
interview with The Wall Street Journal — but the agenda has
shifted. He insists that, despite his high political profile
these days, his "is a health message, not a political

Since cryptocurrencies are generally classified as property, wash sale regulations should not currently be a concern for investors. This means investors can sell an investment to realize a tax loss, only to buy it back immediately thereafter at a bargain. Today, wash sales only apply to stocks and securities, so traders are operating in a gray area for now until further IRS clarification is issued.
Since cryptocurrencies have not been labeled a stock or security, the IRS can only tax traders for non-economic substance transactions under property rules. These transactions are similar to wash sales, considering the volatility of crypto markets and the potential argument that investors made late trades in response to market-moving news as opposed to tax motivations, traders have a legitimate position on the matter.

text: Share: Comments Print September 9, 2013 at 11:49 AM Talkin' smack: Basketball greats Dawn Staley and Gary Payton enter Naismith Hall of Fame Posted by Jayda Evans Ah, the 1990s. In terms of basketball, I'll always remember the decade as O.J. Simpson's freeway chase that interrupted my Knicks' playoff broadcast, Arizona winning the 1997 NCAA championship (Bear Down!) and studying poolside in Tucson while watching my two favorite point guards dish and score their way to success. The personalities that are Dawn Staley and Gary Payton can be the only explanation why a budding young woman in Arizona would care about Seattle and Richmond, Va. Enraptured, I'd watch Staley high-step, yap-jaw and gum-smack to wins with the defunct Rage on BET. In college at Arizona (Bear Down!), I lived and died with the Sonics and Payton as I studied poolside and watched the playoff struggles on a 8-inch black-and-white TV. I just loved watching them play and always wondered what the heck they were saying to themselves, teammates, opponents, fans, officials — seemingly anyone within earshot. Who knew I'd grow to actually find out, covering both through the Seattle Times. So, it was especially cool to witness the greatest point guards from my generation enter the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame together on Sunday. But who entered as the greatest trash talker? "Dawn can trash talk with the best of them," said 17-year WNBA veteran Tina Thompson, who won Olympic gold with Staley, played with her for the defunct Houston Comets and against Staley as she starred for the defunct Charlotte Sting (1999-2006). "Gary's use of verbiage was a lot different," Thompson continued in comparing the elite trash talkers. "He would be a lot more tormenting than Dawn. But they're both pretty good trash talkers." Upon getting to know more about Staley, my favorite stories were about the card games the women of USA Basketball would play. Storm All-Star Sue Bird said the Olympians even killed time prior to the Parade of Nations with card games in the holding area for athletes. "The card games were pretty hilarious," said Thompson, who didn't play because she doesn't gamble. "I remember overhearing them at the back of the bus talking trash and her talking trash during the games and stuff. What I remember more than anything about those card games was that she used to beat (Olympic) coach (Van) Chancellor a lot and gave him a really, really hard time; beating him pretty badly in the games. He'd smile, but I know it irritated him so much. Her personality — she's just really honest and forthcoming. If something wasn't right, no matter who it was, she would call a spade a spade. I appreciated that about her." Staley is one of the pioneers young woman should thank for the growth of the game on a professional level. Seattle especially, Staley sending messages to Bird at UConn via then-assistant coach Tonya Cardoza for the blossoming point guard to "Go to your left! Go to your left!" among other tips to hone the eventual three-time Olympian. Cardoza, now the head coach at Temple, and Staley were teammates at Virginia. "I absolutely love Dawn Staley; she's amazing," Thompson said. "She has this drive and excitement that most players don't have. And she has a really big heart in a really small body (5-foot-6). Her leadership, it resonates far beyond her stature and she's led some pretty awesome groups of players whether it was in the Olympics or WNBA. Ask anyone about Dawn and the first thing that's probably said is about her leadership and her drive. I'm extremely happy for her." Sunday's speeches probably proved Payton as the better trash talker. He spent his 11-minute speech and much of the lead-up to his enshrinement making amends for some of that colorful verbiage. Staley's 16-minute speech was more poetic. But she did get in an early jab to her presenters, five-time Olympian Teresa Edwards (HOF Class of 2011) and two-time Olympian Katrina McClain (Class of 2012). "I wanted somebody else to feel as uncomfortable as I am in these shoes. If my speech gets a little boring, just watch them sway," quipped Staley as the star-studded audience laughed of why she chose Edwards and McClain as her escorts. "Honors like this, although welcomed, have always made me a little uncomfortable," Staley continued. "I seem to have an internal conflict with receiving recognition for my blessings. I think the best way for me to explain how I feel today and give tribute to the people and the experiences that led me to here is to describe an honor that came in 2004. This is a true story." The 2004 Athens Olympic Games were Staley's last. She was chosen to be Team USA's flag bearer, walking ahead of our country's Olympians. "We are the USA; you keep your head up, walk prideful and never dip the flag," Staley recalled being told of the duty. The audience gathered in Springfield, Mass. erupted with a long applause. She was the first women's basketball player to carry the flag. Using the 100-meter markers of the Olympic-stadium track as storytelling markers, Staley, 43, broke down her basketball career into four sections. First-year Denver coach Brian Shaw borrowed a Drake line to describe Gary Payton's ascension that equally fits Staley, "Started from the bottom, now we here." Staley rose from playing against the boys on the courts in her North Philly projects to become a three-time Olympian, five-time WNBA All-Star and current head coach at South Carolina, which finished 25-8 in 2012-13. And now she's a Hall of Famer whose impact within the women's basketball community via playing and charity work is practically unmeasurable. "She knew I could potentially be the point guard for USA Basketball in the coming years and was always willing to help me take that torch," Bird said of continuing the women's gold-medal tradition, winning the country's fifth consecutive gold in London. "That's the way she impacted my life, but I know she's impacted so many more…She had a great career at Virginia and everything, but that 1996 Olympic team was extremely pivotal for women's basketball (launching the WNBA) and she was a big part of that. Even though she played in the ABL, we won't hold that against her, she was able to then move on to the WNBA and do some great things here. Dawn just had an amazing career and her impact on women's basketball is definitely felt." Sunday was a beautiful moment for both Staley and Payton. And I'm thankful to have watched them both become greatness — only getting their jawing directed at me a couple of times. Who knew that would be such an honor?

Dick Costolo, chief executive of FeedBurner, which has sought to allow online bloggers and publishers to make money out of their RSS feeds, says: "Many of the top publishers and bloggers are either full feed, have switched to full feed, or are experimenting with full feeds." He cites Gawker.com, which now offers subscribers the choice of the blog's full text with adverts, or a partial feed with no ads but linked to an ad-supported web page.
Lets not confuse this with 'charging for podcasts'
this is paying for media assets (the audio in this case) not for the rss feed itself
Tom Coates - the future of web apps
So if you take a little of Amazon API, mix in a dash of Google Maps, and sprinkle it with -- all hosted in disparate geographies with a myriad of caching and delivery schemes -- it's potentially a recipe for poison instead of the chocolate cake we're all eagerly anticipating will be served (unless the web-app-mashup'er is really, really careful to grab sugar instead of cyanide).

and so to archetecting on top of RSS
whats gets in the way?
* contracts
* "no by default"
* rights and licenses - and your right to transfer them
* privacy
* authority
these are invarients, influcing the flow of data.
for what reason
reprise (insurance)
management control - responsability (insurance)
law - supported by investing media owers (insurance)
visibility / fear of exploitation? (insurance)
responsibility (insurance)
But how well does this work? Where was the insurance for New Orleans? The reprise, control, the law, visibility, responsability?
IN the end the vast amount of repair is doen by the community, a community that the management under valued. And possibly still does whilst they rebuild their homes. Largely ignored..
Building upon open data produced and managed by a community supported and encouraged by the management seems to be the style of business.
An environment with corporate resources can bring diversity, customers and demand without the need for overt advertsing. Marketing is the 'weldability' that diverse communities will need to communicate with. Corporate support is required within the spaces within guises of communties, for none are the same. The growth of a delta is fractual, everyone is different and the creativity reqiured to adapt to algorhymic growth is either to be seen as simple rules or complex specticles.
Simple rules do lead to complexity, fortuately the complexity is our entertainment, simplicity is business.

We spent last weekend at mine and Wilf's first ever festival, Larmer Tree! I'm sure my first festival experience probably differs from most considering I'm five months pregnant and had a three year old in tow but there you go ;)
A few people have asked how I found going to a festival pregnant so I thought I'd post about what things helped or what was a bit tricky!
We attended the festival as guests of Mamas and Papas and they were kind enough to put us up in a bell tent from 'Hotel Bell Tents'. I have to say I think the experience would have been very different had we been regular camping (or the camping I remember from my childhood!). The bell tents come with a inflatable double bed and you can pay a little extra for a bedding package which comes with a duvet and pillows as well as towels and toiletries.
As we don't drive there really wasn't anyway we could have brought a tent or bedding on the train so it was perfect to travel with just the clothes we needed and snacks!
How cute are the gypsy caravans also though??
I think as Larmer Tree is such a small family friendly festival it was a great one to go to when pregnant as we could easily head back to our bell tent in the afternoon for a rest. The weekend was such a sunny one that on Friday after we had arrived and checked everything out we headed back for a kip. I ended up stripping to my underwear to nap as it was so humid and I woke up to find Wilf had stuck ALL the minions from his sticker book over me. On top of that the staff from the Hotel Bell Tent company had just stepped in to ask if they could blow up our mattress a little more (as they do daily) so it was quite an amusing situation!
We met up with our lovely friends from Globalmouse Travels on the saturday and they had brought a festival wagon with them which I would really recommend if you have the room to bring one. You can hire one from the festival for the weekend and to be honest in the future I would do this as they really are worth it. At three Wilf just doesn't have the stamina to walk around all day and needs little breaks here and there.
We brought along camping chairs as we could just sling them over our shoulders with our rucksacks and they turned out to be such a good idea. Sitting on the ground for long periods of time with a bump it just pretty uncomfy and it also helped with Wilf in the evenings when he was knackered to cuddle up with him whilst we could enjoy the bands.
I'd say the only real downside of being pregnant at a festival is the amount of time you need to pee. The toilets were actually amazing in the festival and especially the ones in the comfy camping where they even had shower trucks with hot showers cubicles. Our tent was only a five minute walk to the posh loos but even then it gets a bit much three times a night having to put your jumper and wellies on!
I'm really glad we went though as we are unlikely to go ahead for a while with the new baby arriving and the fact that traveling with two might be a bit tricky until one of us learns to drive. It made for some lovely memories whilst we are still a family of three.
I made a little video if you fancy a watch too!
What are your festival tips for going with children (or pregnant?)

Underlying anxiety is not a root cause. Anxiety is itself a symptom with many different possible causes. Anxiety is a process that happens in your brain, which can be affected by so many factors, like irrational thought habits, nutrition, food intolerances like gluten, lack of exercise, lack of sunlight and vitamin D, deficiency in amino acids like tryptophan and GABA, brain injury and head trauma, genetic susceptibility, disordered breathing habits, just to name a few. These all affect brain function and thus affect anxiety. Anxiety can be caused by any one of these factors, and more.
Looking into a purely psychological cause for your success anxiety is just one possible road to go down. Psychologically speaking, success anxiety is just like any other anxiety. It involves having fortune-telling thoughts that go unchallenged. Your brain predicts the future for you, thinks about all the bad things that can happen, and that makes you anxious. I don't think it's the goal that makes you anxious, I think it's all the thoughts about what would happen if you don't achieve that goal, or if you try but fail, or if you do succeed but you imagine negative consequences that happen along with your success. It all involves negative predictions about the future.
Many persons suffering from Atelophobia have large periods of time where they become preoccupied with achieving some goal. The preoccupation, however, is largely counterproductive; they get overwhelmed very easily, wanting to achieve something so bad that they are unable to start work on any aspect of a project or ambition. Likewise, the preoccupation keeps many Atelophobics from enjoying themselves when they are in an environment where they don't have access to work on their goals; basically any social circumstance. Anxiety is anxiety, dealing with anxiety is fairly universal, the details don't necessarily matter. CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) was a popular consideration for a possible form of treatment.
Here we will discuss various methods of overcome achievement anxiety:
- Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal About Getting It Right When You Have To
- The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles
- Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
- The Anxiety and Worry Workbook: The Cognitive Behavioral Solution
- Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Contributing/Related Factors
- Fear of Failure/Success – the two seem to go hand in hand, whereas the fear of failure is obvious, the fear of success can be much more subtle, sometimes working exclusively in the subconscious.
- Focusing on the Outcome/Goal – a normally motivating thought, but in this case seems to enhance the anxiety as if too much were at stake.
- Procrastination – not always avoiding things you don't want to do, but avoiding things you do want to do as well.
- Eastern Philosophy – a "catchall" for topics like "being in the moment", "detachment from outcome", mindfulness, etc.
- Meditation – I wanted to list this separate from Eastern Philosophy to emphasize it.
- Recognizing Your Thoughts – this reflects "mindfulness" in many ways, but a little more specific. Anxiety seems to largely be the result of compulsive thoughts that are typically irrational, recognizing this you can actively take change your thought processes to a healthier outcome.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – seems to be an effective therapy for anxiety in general, many of the books listed above seem to take a CBT-like approach.
Consider Promotion and Prevention systems of self-control
Promotion system is concerned with advancing, you want to go from 0 to +1, if you achieve your goal or you progress you feel joy and happiness, if you fail or there is no progress you feel anxious.
Prevention system is concerned with maintaining status quo, you don't want to go from 0 to -1, if you maintain your status you feel calm and at peace, if you fail to maintain it you feel sad and depressed.
Pathologies arise when these systems are hyper or hypo active. And also some problems arise when you want to achieve or maintain unrealistic amounts of goals. Which will inevitably lead to failure to achieve and maintain leading to feelings of anxiety and sadness, respectively?
This topic is commonly discussed in eastern philosophy as well. Two sources of suffering are not getting what you want and loosing what you have. It can be dealt with, fairly effectively through mindfulness meditation.
You have to realize that those thoughts are not you, but you identify with them, those thoughts are just servants. When you understand this you can redirect your attention away from them, reduce their frequency and not be so emotionally affected. They are useful but in your case they are counterproductive.
Well with self-control you get better the more you use it. It seems that we have a tendency thinking that we must always do something; we can't live in the moment because we see it as a hindrance. A big part of meditation is learning to live in the moment and being completely satisfied with it.
With mindfulness meditation you can reduce the number of thoughts you experience, by becoming aware of them and redirecting your attention to other things. This leads to chronic reduction in a specific set of thoughts. The thoughts that are associated with your anxiety are just processes that you may attend to, they do serve a purpose, but lead you to live in a world of how things could be, while you could spend most of the time living in the here and now. I am not saying you should abolish those thoughts entirely either, everyone has them, but in your case it's to excessive.
You also might want to check out research on regulatory fit. Talks about incongruities between regulatory focus and the strategies you engage in when you use those systems, which can lead to problems. I am pretty sure they even have education therapy for that now.
You may also be interested in research on boredom specifically on need for external stimulation sub-scales (agitated boredom). Individuals who are prone to this boredom have a need to engage in meaningful activities but the environment does not permit them to engage in them, so every attempt to engage results in failure. You may be suffering from ADHD in an environment where you can't accomplish your goals because of this proneness. Be prone to mind-wandering that is more rewarding than the environment (future oriented thinking associated with goals that need to be done).

Aerial Toll Houses
The aerial toll house idea suggests that after death, the soul must pass through 20 +/- aerial toll houses where the individual is tested by demons. If the person fails any test, the demons drag them to hell. Whoever came up with this perhaps forgot to read about the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross. As stated in Ephesians, by grace we are saved through faith.

Please tell us how you fixed the problem.
When searching for answers to problems I may be having with any of your products I often run into the following roadblock.
I'm currently trying to figure out why PowerGallery isn't displaying any images, so I've been searching through the relevant support files and ran across this post
"Images not Loading"
only to discover as is often the case that the person searching for the answer found a solution on their own without following up with an explanation of the procedure they used to fix the problem.
The usual response from WebAssist is "glad to hear it's working".
Well I'm glad too, but that post helps me not at all.
Would it be too much to ask that the powers that be ask the users of the forum to provide this kind of information in the general rules of use. And rather than "glad to hear it's working" how about "Please tell me how you did it so other people can benefit as well"

Tim Sherwood hasn't even been sacked yet and already bookmakers have a market up for the next Tottenham manager, with Dutchman Louis Van Gaal installed as a heavy odds on favourite.
BetVictor are 4/7 on Van Gaal, and that is currently the market leader, with Stan James going as short as 1/3 already. Second favourite is Saints' manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who is a best price of 6/1 with Stan James, but in keeping with differing opinions, he is 4/1 with most other layers.
In the world of the bookmakers, this appears to be a simple 2 horse race, as next in the betting is Jurgen Klinsmann and Michael Laudrup, both at best prices of 25/1.
Klinsmann is 25/1 with Bet365, who have Laudrup at 16/1. While you can get Laudrup at 25/1 with BetVictor.
Significant others are Glenn Hoddle 33/1, a return for Harry Redknapp is 66/1. One I like the look of is Rafa Benitez, who is a top price of 40/1 with Bet365 to leave Napoli and take over.
Benitez likes it in England, and knows how to set up and organise a team, something which Spurs seems to badly lack. Would he be prepared to leave Napoli after just one year though? That's the major doubt. I'm not suggesting it will happen, I just have a feeling that Benitez would be a good fit for Spurs, and at 40/1 it is good value for a small bet.
As I already mentioned though, Tim Sherwood hasn't been sacked yet. Betfair (Exchange) currently have him as second favourite at 11/5, behind 'No Manager To Leave' in their next manager to leave his post market.
The speculation suggests he will be sacked at the end of the season, and I don't think Sherwood is going to quit on principle. In football though, nothing surprises us, but I don't see it as great value at 11/5.

Fuel Efficiency
When it comes to driving a vehicle that is powerful to bring you the performance you require, it is important to ensure that you are driving a vehicle that is as committed to fuel efficiency. Volkswagen, German-engineered engines make the most of everything, especially when it comes to fuel. The eco-friendly engine choices include the Hybrid Drive, TDI, TSI, FSI, DSG and the 4Motion. The Hybrid Drive offers the best of both worlds with fuel efficiency and power coming hand in hand without compromise. Drive with either the electric motor or the gasoline engine, or a combination of both, thanks to the intelligent design of the engine, which knows the combination to bring the most power and efficiency. TDI is Volkswagen's clean diesel engine, with technology that works to draw in fresh air and compress it quickly enough to cause a super-heated cylinder where a fine mist of fuel can be sprayed to cause an engine-propelling explosion. TSI works to bring driving pleasure through the power of direct fuel injection with a turbocharger for increased fuel efficiency. FSI delivers outstanding performance through fuel that is injected straight into the combustion chamber for more efficiency and greater power output all with less fuel. Control comes through with the DSG, which provides remarkable efficiency through a dual-clutch design with two drive shafts. The 4Motion permanent all-wheel drive system offers an electronic control system that knows exactly when to increase power for a reliable traction and a stable ride. Overall, the fuel efficiency being offered comes with choices, all which save you money at the pump but do not compromise on power.
Safety matters and with Volkswagen you are given the second opinion of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). In 2013, they awarded nine Volkswagen vehicles as a Top Safety Pick. All Volkswagen models also come with an Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS), which is designed to activate in the case of a collision that deploys the airbags, to unlock the doors, disable the fuel pump and turn on the hazard lights. With the dynamic cornering lights, the Volkswagens Bi-Xenon headlights feature motors that swivel the headlight to follow the steering angle. The result is responsive visibility which allows you to see twists coming up in the road for a more focused ride. The brake assist systems work together to ensure that you stop every time you need to. Anti-locking Brakes (ABS) use speed sensors to monitor wheel spin and prevent wheel lockup during sudden stops. The technology of Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) works with ABS to increase the braking power of your vehicle. HBA ensures that you come to a complete stop in situations where you do not press the brakes all the way. Combined, these safety features are one of the reasons why Volkswagen is changing the game.
When driving a new car, you should be able to trust the structure was built with quality and value. This is one of the reasons why Volkswagen uses laser welding technology to build their cars. Laser welding is a form of welding, unlike spot-welding, which uses ultra-thin beams of light to create bodywork seams that are continuous. The result is a more precise and strong structure of quality. The comprehensive warranty being offered by Volkswagen ensures that all defects are repaired, cost free, and provides you with four years or 80,000km of new car warranty and 12 years of rust perforation warranty.
Think Blue
The Think Blue Initiative is a philosophy which promotes eco-conscious and efficient vehicles that go above being just "green" by committing to educating people on fuel-efficient driving habits, leading sustainable projects to improve the planet and ensuring that the vehicles are ridiculously fine to drive. BlueMotion Technologies work to make driving your car cleaner and more economical and are inclusive of all VW products, technologies, and innovations that promote Blue Thinking.
Staff Family

Although growing green beans is easy (chances are you grew some in kindergarten in a cup filled with damp paper towel), knowing what to do with them when you have tons and tons (like I do right now) can be challenging.
I've grown slightly bored of boiled green beans with butter and salt and pepper and I've had just about enough salad Nicoise. So, it's time to pull out an old standby recipe: Tuscan Green Bean Salad.
This recipe first appeared in my book Pantry Raid published in 2002 but it's still a simple and stylish little recipe. Enjoy!
Tuscan Green Bean Salad
1/2 tsp (2 mL) grated lemon peel
2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
2 tbsp (30 mL) extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup (75 mL) finely diced aged Pecorino or Asiago cheese
1/2 lb (250 g) green beans
Whisk lemon peel with lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly. Toss in cheese.
Cut away stem ends from green beans and cut into 2-inch (5 cm) lengths. Blanch in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes or until bright green but still crisp. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain well; stir into cheese mixture. Makes 4 servings.
