Going on a safari or just a day trip into one's local woods increases the odds of accidents happening. Going hunting means that weapons will be brought along to take game, and knives will be carried to field dress animals. Add to that the dangers inherent even in the most innocent of outdoor settings and serious injury and death could easily occur with just one mistake. A good working knowledge of first-aid and some basic tools and medical equipment can save a life if there ever is a need.
First-aid for hunting is different than basic first-aid learned for daily living in a relatively safe and stable home environment. Accidents while hunting are more likely to occur and are more likely to be immediately life-threatening with prolonged extraction to a medical facility being added to the mix. A person could be accidentally shot at home and at a trauma facility receiving treatment within minutes of the accident. A hunter may have hours and even days before proper medical treatment can be obtained. This is why an education in Wilderness Medicine and always carrying an appropriate Wilderness Medical Kit can be of extreme benefit.
There are medical tools and products available to civilians that can improve the odds of surviving even a serious accident in the wild whether that wild be just out in the backyard or thousands of miles away in a foreign country while hunting large and dangerous game. The first thing to consider before going hunting is having a rescue team ready to come in and extract a victim as if he or she were a high value member of the military. The best way to have that sort of assurance is to purchase and keep the subscription and insurance active on a satellite messenger that will uplink an SOS to orbiting satellites essentially calling out the cavalry when things go bad. A couple of hundred dollars can get such a device along with subscription and extraction/evacuation insurance good for use around the globe.
The next thing to have on hand after taking a Wilderness Medicine Course is to have a comprehensive kit of first-aid gear on the person at all times. Every hunter should carry a pack with supplies needed to survive a night or two wherever he may be hunting, along with some emergency food, dry socks and a well thought out medical kit. A Wilderness Medical Kit usually contains some tools and medications that a home first-aid kit does not. High altitude hunters may carry medications to treat altitude sickness. An auto-injector containing epinephrine to treat anaphylaxis is also a good idea to carry where ever it is possible to be exposed to plants, bites or stings that can cause a severe allergic reaction.
Special kits carried by hunters also have more products to control bleeding such as Celox which is a granulated material applied directly into severely bleeding wounds such as wounds caused by stabbing, shooting or impalement. Celox is a brand name of a hemostatic agent that causes rapid clotting of major wounds. Pouches of Celox granules and Celox-A which is contained in an applicator that looks very similar to a tampon applicator should be carried in the kit. This type of Celox administration can be applied directly into wounds such as gunshot wounds. The Celox brand is a proven lifesaver. In fact military testing has indicated a 100% survivability rate for a test done by the US Marines.
Be sure to carry a few elastic bandages such as the Ace style of elastic bandage. Self-stick sports wrap is also a good wrapping material to carry in a hunting first-aid kit to hold bandages in place. Bandages should consist of as many 4×4 inch non-stick gauze pads that can be fit in the kit. No need to carry several sizes as smaller ones can be cut from the 4×4 inch size. Carry a few rolls of absorbent gauze to pack large wounds. A roll of duct tape can make the difference between life and death for some hunting injuries. Remember that it doesn't have to look pretty, it just has to work.
Each hunter in the party should be carrying his own kit with more supplies available back at camp. Every hunter who needs to have prescription medicine should carry his own supply with a backup supply at camp or carried by his hunting partner. A quick tumble into an icy river may lose that vital heart medication with the tumble actually bringing on an episode where it is needed. If a buddy is carrying a backup supply, the problem is solved before it even starts.
Be sure each kit contains components that are separated into individually sealed waterproof zipper style bags. That tumble into a river will ruin most items if they are not kept dry. Be sure to have a pair of paramedic shears, lots of pairs of nitrile gloves, a pair of tweezers, a CPR mask and a pair of Kelly forceps. Advanced kits carry a skin stapler to close wounds where it will be a long time before extraction. Before a skin stapler is used, the wound must be thoroughly cleaned requiring more things to be carried such as antibiotic wound washes.
Finally consider asking a trusted physician for a prescription of antibiotics and prescription painkillers to be filled to outfit a kit that will be carried into remote back country. It's better to have the stuff and not need it than to need it and not have it. A raging infection can set in within hours of a wound. Prophylactic treatment using proven prescription antibiotics can save a life, and controlling pain when one has to walk out can make a difference on who actually makes it out alive if something should go seriously wrong.

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #357 hosted by Don Baine.The TrickleStar TS1810 7-outlet Audio Visual (AV) Advanced PowerStrip+ provides premium-quality surge protection while reducing active and standby power wasted by home entertainment center electronics. The TS1810 features a multi-sensor that monitors user activity and automatically switches off the TV and AV peripheral electronics if no IR remote control activity or motion is detected, saving money by saving energy.Automatically Reduces Power Waste
Active power waste occurs when electronics are left on and no one is using them, for example when you forget to power off electronics or fall asleep with the television left on. Furthermore, standby power is the energy consumed by electronics that are turned off but still plugged in. The TS1810 reduces both active and standby power loss in home theater setups by detecting when AV electronics are not being used and turns them off, thereby saving energy and reducing operating costs.
How it Works
The TS1810 features a multi-sensor with a configurable countdown timer that detects infrared (IR) remote control activity and motion to determine whether the TV and electronics are being used. Each time activity is detected, the countdown timer on the sensor is reset, extending the viewing time of the connected AV equipment. If no IR remote control activity or motion is detected within the countdown timer period, the TS1810 automatically powers down the TV and peripheral AV electronics plugged into the switched outlets.
The Multi-sensor Difference
Many electronics in home entertainment centers such as smart televisions, set-top boxes, streaming players, universal remotes, and gaming console, no longer use infrared (IR) remote controls, but rather use radio-frequency (RF), Bluetooth™, and Wi-Fi® enabled remotes or a smartphone app to control electronics. TrickleStar's innovative multi-sensor detects both IR remote control activity and motion to accurately monitor activity in the AV home environment.
As compared to traditional IR-only sensor, TrickleStar's multi-sensing technology is proven to significantly reduce unwanted active shutdown events and ensures compatibility with all AV electronic equipment, leading to increased customer satisfaction, usability and prolonged energy savings

Well, this is the time for Asian inspired meals. I was walking in TJ's and saw shaved beef packages lined up on the shelf. With their bright red color and lean mean look I could not help but try out Soy Substitute recipe with Orange undertones. This came our a great light meal for lunch, dinner and I even warmed up leftover for breakfast with egg. Here is it, another great addition to Free2BFit Gluten Free Paleo recipe box – Citrus Beef and Zucchini Stir Fry. Plus this one only takes you 15-20 min to make.
- 1 serving Soy Sauce Substitute, reduce stock volume to 1 cup
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 lb. shredded beef
- 2 large zucchini, julienne cut or sliced
Cooking Steps:
Set a Cast-Iron Dutch Oven on low heat. Add Soy Sauce Substitute and fold in beef. Simmer for 5 min while mixing periodically. Fold in julienne zucchini, cover and cook for 8-10 min or until beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Then open the Cast-Iron Dutch Oven and cook on high for 5-8 min so that some of the water evaporates. Enjoy this low carb and Gluten Free Paleo meal any time of the day.

What are the lessons you've gained that have profoundly shifted your direction in business? In addition to the point about making as many connections as you can through networking, I think one of the single most important lessons in business – especially any entrepreneurial endeavor – is this: that knowing when to move on is just as important as having the grit to persevere when things are not be going your way. In my case, as hard as it was to walk away from the first company I started, primarily out of pride, but doing so led me to the bigger and better things that I am doing now.

If you took in theater on the South Shore in the '90s, there is an excellent chance that you caught future Broadway thespian Ethan Hova honing his craft. He is currently making his Broadway debut in "The Nap," a new play by Richard Bean ("One Man" "Two Guvnors"), that takes a funny look at the world of snooker, the British version of pool. On a break from playing multiple roles in the play, including that of snooker championship referee, he spoke with the Herald about his Long Island roots and how his upbringing helped prepare him for a career in the arts.
"I remember seeing a production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" at a college on Long Island, and I didn't want to go," he says of the moment that transformed his appreciation for the arts. "I was in middle school, I had never seen a musical before, and I was negative about everything. From the moment the first electric chord riff started, I was riveted! I didn't know that kind of theater existed with rock and electric guitar. It blew my mind. I wish that every young person could have an experience like that in the theater , where their expectations of what is possible are upended."
Hova began to demonstrate his budding acting chops at Cultural Arts Playhouse in Old Bethpage (which has since relocated to Syosset), where he worked on shows such as "Oklahoma," "Grease" and "Oliver." He also fondly remembers Merrick's The Stage Theatre (now known as Merrick Theatre & Center for the Arts) as being influential in his career as a performer.
"I did "Our Town" where I played George, and Aimée DeShayes, my high school girlfriend, played Emily. We got to carpool!" he laughs, especially when considering that a production photo from the show remains in the theater lobby to this day.
"Then we did a production of "Call Me Madam," which oddly enough starred my pediatrician! I don't know what she's doing now, but she was kind of a staple of the musical theater scene when I was growing up. It was so much fun to perform with her as an almost-adult."
Performing on Long Island helped Hova to find a sense of community. "It was where I belonged," he says of being on stage, including at Hofstra University, where he took on the role of Fyedka in "Fiddler on the Roof" with the Gray Wig Players.
"I didn't have a lot of friends in middle school, and I think doing theater outside of school gave me the confidence to have friends in high school. It set me on the right path." He also credits being a part of the Syosset High School Forensics Club as being essential to refining his talent, not to mention that the national competitions introduced him to forensics superstar, future scene-stealer, and fellow Carnegie Mellon graduate Josh Gad. "When I got to college I was so excited to see him. He's a superhuman!"
Hova moved to Los Angeles after graduating from CMU, soon after landing a role on NBC's "The Blacklist." However, New York had become ingrained in his heart. Upon returning he worked with Ensemble Studio Theatre (among others) before cofounding Exit, Pursued by a Bear, with friends. "Working with its artistic director, Ed Sylvanus Iskandar, really taught me what I wanted out of the industry. [The company] was instrumental in finding my core as an artist and what really moves me."
Last year Hova wrapped a run as an understudy with the national tour of "The Humans," Stephen Karam's Tony Award-winning play; an experience that he says readied him for his current gig on Broadway. "With "The Humans" there was a lot of preparing and then waiting," he says of the intricacies of being an understudy. "For "The Nap" I have a role in the show every night, but I'm also understudying two other roles. 'The Humans' helped me tremendously because I knew that I could do it."
In "The Nap" Hova plays a few minor roles, but he stands out in every one of his scenes. Most surprising to him was the enjoyment he found in getting ready to play the referee.
"I had a real affinity for snooker as a spectator," he says. "I find sports pretty boring to watch, but I obviously had to watch a lot of snooker to learn how to referee the games on stage. Watching matches on YouTube led me to do a lot of soul-searching."
Because the actors play a live game at every performance, Hova must be prepared for anything to happen. In fact, there might be a different winner in each game, causing a slight variation in each performance's last few moments. That sits well with Hova, as he enjoys the curiosities that every facet of his career brings.
"The whole process with "The Nap" has been surprising from my involvement in it to interacting with the cast every day and seeing how warm and generous they are. The show has been a complete joy."

SCE's Shuhei Yoshida confirms the team is working hard on the game.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 12th, Jun. 2014 Under News
As great a week as Sony had for its media briefing, it had a fairly rough week when it came to countering rumours about The Last Guardian being cancelled. Sony confirmed the game hasn't been cancelled but as President of Worldwide Studios SCE Shuhei Yoshida told Polygon, if it indeed is cancelled, they'll let us know.
"It exists. The team is working hard on it. I was heartbroken when some article came out on some major site saying it was canceled. I will say this. When we cancel a title and it is something we have announced already, we'll say so."
That being said, The Last Guardian has been in development for several years now. The Last Guardian was originally meant to release on PlayStation 3 but was delayed indefinitely. It's now pegged to be arriving on PlayStation 4 when it's eventually re-revealed but that still feels a ways off. What are your thoughts on the matter? Let us know below.

Silver Prices in Silver Mining Companies
Chart courtesy of Stockcharts
Eagle Plains Resources primary objective is to enhance shareholder value through mining gold along with the acquisition and development of early-stage exploration projects. The company currently controls over 35 gold, silver, uranium, copper, molybdenum, zinc and rare earth mineral projects, one of which contains an NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource. The stock has been beaten down but now appears to be making a reasonable attempt to recover.
In a recent news release the company announced that they are making good progress with the "Yellowjacket JV" as follows:
Cranbrook, B.C., 04 June, 2009:
Eagle Plains Resources Ltd
. (EPL:TSX-V) and Prize Mining Corp. (PRZ:TSX-V) jointly announce that the Yellowjacket Venture ("Yellowjacket JV") has now completed modifications on its 350 tonne per day mill at the Yellowjacket Gold Project, located near Atlin, BC, and has begun processing of stockpiled material.
Processing of stockpiled mineralized bulk sample material has now commenced under the existing Bulk Sampling Exploration Permit. Once the remainder of the bulk sample has been processed and the new Mines Act Permit is obtained, full-scale bedrock mining and milling operations will commence.
We bought this stock for around $0.53 on the 22nd July 2006 and have seen this stock suffer some volatile oscillations, however we are still holding and are pleased to see it making steady progress and close yesterday at $0.28 as the above chart indicates. One to keep on your watch list as future spin offs could be lucrative for shareholders.
Eagle Plains trades on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol of
, has a market capitalization of $17.73 million with 63.31 million shares outstanding and has traded as low as $0.05 and as high as $0.35 over the last year.

Italy took over the OSCE chairmanship and foreign minister Angelino Alfano nominated Franco Frattini as representative of the OSCE for the solving of the conflict in Transnistria.
"I accepted this position in order to strengthen the stability and security of Europe within the framework of the Italian presidency of the OSCE, I have very good relations with the Russian authorities, which have undoubtedly played a fundamental role in the solution ( of the conflict) in Transnistria, "he explained.
Frattini recalled that at the time he did a lot "also for Moldova, working to bring this country closer to the EU, in particular regarding visa issues."
"I suppose this will help me offer my contribution in the study of this complex dossier, in which there are still many problems to be solved," he said.
The OSCE representative expressed the hope of soon making telephone conversations and direct contacts with Russian representatives, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, whom he described as a friend.
Frattini said solutions could be reached in at least two sensitive issues on the negotiating table – the license plates for Transnistrian cars and the freedom of movement. For the first issue, Frattini proposes the Italian model applied to the autonomous province of Bolzano. "The symbol of this region appears on the plates of the cars registered in that province. Such a symbol of Transnistria could appear on Moldovan cars and thus be recognizable to citizens, "Frattini told the Russian Ria Novosti news agency.

When I first became infatuated with fashion, it was all about fun. I would mix my oversized Tweety Bird tee, ruffle socks and jellies and would not even think twice that my outfit wasn't on POINT and that I wasn't flexing on my fellow first-graders.
But as you get older, you are just beginning to scratch the surface of becoming who you want to be, and you can get very easily influenced by friends, trends and in my case, whatever they were wearing on The O.C. (Marissa Cooper is still my style icon).
I've gone through so many style lives, and still do from day-to-day. However, the biggest lesson I've learned over the years is that sexy does not mean one thing. It does not always mean short skirts (re: college pics), low cut tops (re:re: college pics) and un-walkable heels. It can be covered up, it can be baggy, and it can even be a little silly.
Enter: This Shirt.
I love the silliness of the culotte, but the undeniable sexiness of an exposed shoulder. The perfect union of covered/uncovered.
We shot these in Florida on vacation-AKA a trip made so I could wear this shirt sooner.
In college, I presumed that the more skin I showed, the sexier I was. But I never actually felt sexy, and I really still don't a good 99% of the time. But trust me when I say a little shoulder goes a long way. I remember wearing mentioned Tweety Bird shirt in first grade, and being told on by a male classmate because my shoulder was showing. Well, eat your heart out, John*

General Electric announces plans to axe over 1,000 jobs in UK
Industrial giant, General Electric has announced plans to cut 1,100 jobs from its UK power business.
The proposals, blamed on a downturn in the global gas and coal market, is said to mainly affect activities at sites in Stafford and Rugby, with 500 roles to be axed at each.
The jobs are also among 12,000 being cut worldwide as the company slashes costs.
Mark Elborne, head of GE UK and Ireland, said: "Unfortunately, we believe that these changes are necessary to ensure that we can remain competitive and secure the future of GE Power in the UK."
GE currently employs around 18,000 people in the UK, while the cuts represent six per cent of the workforce in this country. The company set out the plans to its staff on Thursday (December 7).
General Electric has said that "traditional power markets including gas and coal have softened" while "volumes are down significantly in products and services driven by overcapacity [and] lower utilisation, an increase in steam plant retirements and overall growth in renewables."
GE said the restructuring would "simplify, consolidate and improve the efficiency of" research and development across its products.
However Unite the Union's national officer, Linda McCulloch, added: "General Electric is in danger of cutting too far, too fast and leaving itself ill equipped to meet the challenges of the changing power generation market.
"Over the coming days and weeks, Unite will be supporting our members and scrutinising the company's business case as we fight to save as many jobs as possible.
"Unite will also be seeking guarantees from General Electric that there will be no compulsory redundancies and that there will be redeployment opportunities for workers wishing to stay with the business."

Four years ago this week, I launched VILE Inc.
This afternoon, I buried it.
Due to a rather unfortunate (read: completely shite) turn of events this past summer, my lawyer recommended that I rebrand. After months of cerebral agony, numerous mediocre potential names, and one really good name that would have offended a fair number of people, I've taken the path of least resistance and chosen a name that retains an element of "fun" and incorporates my surname.
Please welcome ...
With a new name comes a new approach to rebuilding my business and this site will be a work-in-progress for the foreseeable future. I may even decide to design a logo.
In the meantime, I've got a big project in the works and will be making a formal announcement in the very near future.
Cheers and here's to a (another) new beginning** in 2016.
**I don't plan on rebranding again. Ever.

Author: Laura Murray
Dia, a woman who was raised on a spiritual hermitage and sung ragas as a child, lead her to begin training and performing as an opera singer in the US and Europe. While Dia traveled she began writing pieces of music on a ukulele that her brother gifted her with. The encouragement of her close friends lead her to pursue music.
Inspired by a 12th century poem quote by Kafiristan, "since you love me and I love you the rest matters not." This brought Dia her own interpretation of love and the inspiration behind "Tiny Ocean."
The track is her version of Kafristan's poem. "Tie a knot around my tiny ocean, hammer me to every wall you build… burn me with your brightness…" -Dia.
"Tiny Ocean" brings a unique sound called baroque-pop. Baroque-pop gives you the feel of classical or orchestral pop.
The whole EP is very soothing in melody and tone. It takes you away from reality just listening to the music the same way that classical music does, but with an edge of different instruments being used.
"Tiny Ocean" EP is her debut release with Manimal Records. This artist has already spread her talents through New York, Paris, LA, Italy, and Cuba.
I can say that Dia looks like she is making her rounds in the world and leaving her mark and talents too.
Her debut EP is available worldwide.

Girl child killed / Sacrificed as a tantrik ritual in Yeyyadi MangaloreMangalore, December 17: In a macabre incident, Priyanka, a three year old girl child studying at KPT Anganavadi was killed in an apparent sacrifice as part of a black-magic ritual under Kadri Police station limits on Friday, December 17. Priyanka's body was discovered from a plantation at Sharbatkatte, near Yeyyadi. She was the daughter of Firankumar Ja and Anjali Ja, a native of Bihar and working as helper in a godown at Sharbatkatte. The Child was brutally killed by Kamalaksha and Chandrakala, a resident of Sharabatkatte for their black magic practice. On interrogation, Chandrakala, one of the culprits, revealed that they have grabbed Priyanka from her house and sacrificed to please the dietyat 7:30 p.m. on Dec 17, Friday. . After killing they dumped her in a plantation at Sharbatkatte, she revealed. Kamalaksha Purusha, Chandrakala and Madhav Purusha have been taken into custody but police have not made any arrests till 18th Dec. Earlier on Friday, people had attacked the house of the accused; and the police have tightened security in the area to prevent any more violence. Priyanka, according to locals, was last seen Thursday afternoon playing with her brothers Pankaj (6) and Neeraj (18 months) outside their house. According to eyewitness accounts, Chandrakala (28), a neighbour, called Priyanka to her house between 2.30 pm and 3 pm on Thursday. The girl child was never spotted thereafter. The parents searched for Priyanka in the evening and that led them to question Chandralkala about her whereabouts. Late in the evening, the distraught parents approached the police at the Kadri Police Station after Chandrakala insisted that the child had left her house a long time ago. A police team launched a search, but failed to trace the girl. The police subsequently questioned Chandrakala. On Friday morning, she confessed that her alleged step father Kamalaksha Purusha (72), a tantrik, had strangulated the child on Thursday evening in a ritual, according to DCP Ramesh. She later led the police to a plantation where the child's body was found covered with leaves, about 300 metres from their house. The body was clad only in underwear. Her footware too was found nearby. As the news of the child sacrifice spread, a large number of people rushed to the spot and ransacked the tantrik's house. A few neighbours, including the tantrik's brother Madhav Purusha (78) (in whose house Priyanka's parents were living as tenants for the last three months) told that they had warned Priyanka's parents against sending their daughter to Kamalaksha's house, suspecting his behaviour. The neighbours also said Kamalaksha had a live-in relationship with a woman several years ago and Chandrakala was that woman's daughter. Though Kamalaksha claims that Chandrakala is his step daughter, neighbours as well as police suspect that both have an illegitimate relationship. She, too, had a 5-year-old son, who was missing for the past five months. When queried, both Kamalaksha and Chandrakala said that her son had been adopted by a person in Udupi. Meanwhile, Chandrakala alleged that Kamalaksha raped the child before she was offered as sacrifice. On the contrary, Kamalaksha continued to say that he has not seen the girl at all. "I can find out the whereabouts of the girl within three days," he said. To a query on the poojas at his home, he said: "Yesterday was a good day for prayers and the prayers would help me get long life." Later, a group of villagers went to the police station and asked the cops to hand over the accused to them. When police resorted to light caning to disperse the crowd, a few antisocial elements threw stones at the police station. Science and Rationalists' Association of India, Karnataka Branch, under leadership of Sumitra Padmanabhan, president of SRAI and Debashis , vice president of SRAI demanded immediate arrest of the culprits. Sumitra , who was in Bangalore during the incident said that this kind of gory incident deserves severe punishment. A letter was sent from SRAI,Karnataka to D.I.G's office Mangalore requesting to take immediate action. Debashis who leads the rationalist movement in south India, spoke with the investigating officer of Kadri police station, inspector Neeranjan Raj and filed a formal complain against the culprits.

Ira Kahn
(AMERICAN, b. 1950)
Ira Elliot Kahn was born in San Francisco and introduced to photography as a seven year old boy while living in Cambodia. In 1965 Kahn began to develop his craft, doing beautiful work in the darkroom where his passion for fine prints was born as he learned how to make them. His work was first exhibited in 1967. Kahn studied studio art and film making at Stanford University, receiving his degree with distinction in 1972. Today, his work can be found in distinguished public and private collections.
Intimacy and form are the cornerstones of Kahn's work. Delight in seeing inspires it; abstraction and craftsmanship realize it. So much of our world is given to imitation. In contrast, Kahn works with conditions and subjects that reflect a genuine nature of their own. He renders them in a way that builds upon essential but often hidden and obscure characteristics. Kahn's photographs are true to their subjects though always interpretive and rarely representational. "The union of mystery and vitality in the art of so many ancient and tribal cultures is a fundamental influence in my work." Like ceremonial masks that reveal more than they conceal, Kahn's photographs are conduits through which otherwise unknown qualities are expressed.
"It's hard to characterize Ira Kahn's work. Some call him a photomuralist; he simply calls himself a photographer. But there is nothing simple about his fine art photography instalations; signature pieces that hang on the walls of some of the best-known businesses in America." - Vanessa Warner

2012 saw the release of the brilliant Jaguar XKR-S sports car, the XFR midsize sports sedan, and XJL Super Sport full-size luxury sedan. This, I believe, was the beginning of a new era for Jaguar. Gone are the low slung boats of yesteryear, as they have been replaced with bigger, sportier models for the current generation. Don't get me wrong, the essence of Jaguar remainsthe same in the comfort of the ride and the quality of the build, however their face has changed. It is no longer a car used specifically by older folks in retirement; they are far more versatile. And for that, I applaud Jaguar. They have done an excellent job of making their product more desirable to a wider variety of people. In a sense, they've increased their cusrtomer demographic exponentially just by making them not only more appealing to the eye, but by making them easier to aquire in the first place.
XFR-S. This four-door monster has a supercharged V-8 pushing 550HP and just over 500 ft/lb of torque. This will make the sprint to 60 in 4.4 seconds (through gratuitous usage of computer assists, I'm sure). I don't yet know how much this beauty weighs, but it would be safe to assume it's well over the 3700 lb mark. All of these numbers are well and good, but the one burning question many yuppies ask before they even consider buying a new car is, "What kinda gas mileage does it get?". And to answer that question, I have no idea. I do know that it gets away from the gas guzzler tax because of its intuitive stop-start system that it employs which is largely the same as the system found in Prius'. So that paired with the excellent lines, the glorious exhaust note, and the jaw-dropping power should be enough to sway at least SOME of the green-minded individuals into purchasing this bad boy. At least it sold me.

Rural Policy Could Be a Key to China's Economic Overhaul
Buckley, Chris, International New York Times
Far beyond its plans for opening the economy to market forces, Beijing must also contend with farmland rights and local government finances.
China's Communist Party has burnished President Xi Jinping's plans for an economic overhaul with exultant propaganda about a historic turning point. But the success of his proposals, and the long-term health of the Chinese economy, could rest on policy battles that reach down into thousands of towns and villages over land, money and a misshapen fiscal system that has bred public discontent and financial hazards.
The Communist Party Central Committee under Mr. Xi endorsed a package of 60 overhaul goals, released to the public on Friday, that the government said would propel China closer to becoming a secure, powerful and well-off country by the end of this decade.
The economic goals include expanding the role of markets in energy and natural resources, encouraging private investment in finance and easing state controls on interest rates.
"If the implementation of these reforms is successful, the structures of the Chinese economy and society will change in profound ways," said Eswar S. Prasad, a professor of economics at Cornell University, who was previously in charge of the China division of the International Monetary Fund. "The timeline for accomplishing them is ambitious."
But the Central Committee's decision and Mr. Xi's accompanying statement also dwelled on another set of problems, far from bank headquarters, that could matter just as much for China's economic health: farmland rights and revenues, local government taxes and finances, and chronic shortfalls between many local governments' outlays and the money they receive from the central government.
Mr. Xi spent part of his career as a county official, becoming familiar with the countryside.
He said in a statement accompanying the overhaul goals that the barriers to rural development were among China's biggest worries.
"There has been no fundamental reversal of the constantly growing disparity between urban and rural development," he said in the statement, which was issued through the official news agency, Xinhua.
In many ways, China's rural problems are a knot of issues about land and revenues. Local governments have grown dependent on taking farmers' land for relatively little compensation and selling it to developers for a profit. They have been encouraged to do so because the central government takes the bulk of revenues, while assigning many tasks to local governments that require expenditures.
In China, farmland is, by law, owned by the village collectively, but in practice the land is controlled by the state, giving officials a powerful voice over when to develop land and on what terms.
The central government transfers revenues to local governments, but many town and county officials say the amount is not enough to meet ambitions set by central leaders, economists who study China said. Officials in county and city governments, eager to secure jobs for their constituents and to advance their careers, have also gone into dangerous debt to pay for building and business projects that often use that land as collateral for loans or as a lure for investors. …

Chapter VII
The smell of bonfire suddenly filled the air. Siphter looked up and saw the white smoky plume and decided to find where it was coming from. Anyone making a fire at this hour obviously did not mind being found. The stars above the tree line danced above Sipther's head. If he needed to make a quick escape he had Pikel's gift. Ever since his run in with the Shadow, his paranoia and self-doubt grew quite harmoniously. He approached an opening in the trees and to his surprise he was at the temple. Siphter thought he was the only person that knew its location. He ran tiptoed to the facade of the stone structure. Siphter stood straight with his back flat against the wall. He crept to the corner of the building and peeked around it's corner. There he saw an old man with a long snowy white beard, alone. He sat peeling an apple with his bare feet warming close to his fire. "Hello Key Seeker." The old man's gravely voice startled Siphter out of hiding. "Sorry." he replied, "I didn't mean to scare you..." As he walked closer to the fire he could feel its warmth. "You didn't." the old man said with a hearty chuckle.
The two looked, paused and awkwardly examined one another as the bonfire painted the temple behind them. "What did you call me just now?" Siphter asked. The old man sliced a piece of apple, poked it with his knife and fed himself. "Key Seeker…" This time he whispered. "That's what we are." The old man threw the apple core into the fire and placed his small knife into his jacket pocket. "I've been searching for the keys a long time and have been taught many things from this forest." The old man handed Siphter an apple. He took it in his hands and placed it in his pack for later. He sat next to the old man and enjoyed the large camp fire. Besides the knife it looked like the old man had no weapon to defend himself. How had he lasted this long? Siphter thought. "I never start a fight I can't finish," the old man said as he picked apple skin from his teeth. Siphter looked into the fire not knowing what to say. "How many keys have you collected thus far my young friend?" asked the old man. "Just one," said Siphter. He felt it in his jacket pocket. "Haha, that is wonderful!" exclaimed the old man. He tussled Siphter's hair and smiled even harder. "And how much have you learned already?" Siphter smiled back. "Do you mind if I stay here tonight? I really enjoy looking at the temple." Siphter said. "Me too." the old man replied. Our hero fell asleep by the warm fire, with the thought of the temple dancing in his mind. When he woke that morning, the camp was empty and the old man was gone. Written in the dirt beside him in perfect script read "Morning Key Seeker, unfortunately I have to continue my hunt alone. Good luck! Head north. Look for the mountains in the distance, past the badlands. I am glad to have a new friend on the great hunt. Best of luck, a fellow Key Seeker.' Siphter grabbed his sword and looked at the temple one more time. He walked on, continuing the great hunt.

I take a lollipop when I need a burst of energy. I like that it is chic and goes with any style any day. With the end of the stick outside my mouth, I become a child again.
When the thoughts of my head become too much to bear, it is a welcomed and delight-some distraction. It takes away the worries and makes me feel like a child again.
I know I am all grown up and I probably should quit acting like a child. But what can I say when my Bible tells me that "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven".
And again, "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven".
I guess then that being a child again is a good thing. Especially a cherished child of God. I will remind myself of these bible truths when next I take a lollipop.

Commentary: Obama should play education card in Latin America
When President Barack Obama starts his much-awaited first trip to South America on March 19, he should take his recent State of the Union address on education, science and innovation with him, and turn it into a hemispheric cause.
He needs that, as much as the region does.
While all recent U.S. presidents had a grand plan for Latin America — George Bush proposed the Enterprise for the Americas, Bill Clinton launched the North American Free Trade Agreement, and George W. Bush tried to create a Free Trade Area of the Americas — the Obama administration has not produced any major plan for hemispheric development, or to expand U.S. trade with one of the world's fastest-growing regions.
Granted, polls show that Obama is very popular in Latin America, and his speech at the 2009 Summit of the Americas in Trinidad promising "an equal partnership" without "a senior partner and junior partner" drew enthusiastic applause in the region. But nearly two years have passed since, and the administration has not moved beyond confidence-building words.
So what can Obama take to Latin America at a time when the U.S. Congress is preparing to make drastic budget cuts at home and abroad? Obama should offer the region the same recipe he is proposing at home: improving education standards to become more competitive in the global economy.
"The world has changed," Obama told Congress in his annual State of the Union address Jan. 25. "Nations like China and India realized that with some changes of their own, they could compete in this new world. And so they started educating their children earlier and longer, with greater emphasis on math and science, investing in research and new technologies."
"We can't just stand still," he added. "We need to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world."
At home, Obama has placed education at the center of the political agenda. For the past month, he has been touring the country proposing to train 100,000 new teachers in science, technology, engineering and math, offering financial rewards to state school systems that change their rules and allow evaluation and merit pay for teachers, and calling for greater international student and teacher mobility.
He should take the same message on his trip to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador. He could emphasize that the United States and Latin America are facing the same kind of challenges in competing with Asia.
While an elementary child goes to school 243 days a year in Japan, the U.S. school year is of 180 days, and in many Latin American countries — once you take into account non-scheduled holidays and teacher strikes — it's often 160 days. And school days in China — once you count after-hour learning — are twice as long as in the Americas.
Not surprisingly, in the most recent PISA tests of 15-year-old students in 65 countries around the world, the United States descended to 17th place, while Brazil, Argentina, Panama and Peru placed 53rd, 58th, 62nd and 63rd respectively. The city of Shanghai, China, was in the first place, followed by South Korea.
Education is an area in which the United States can make a big contribution to Latin America.
U.S. universities are still dominating the top places of the QS World University Rankings, while there is not one single Latin American university among the world's best 200 universities. And according to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office figures, U.S. inventors register about 83,000 patents a year, compared with Japan's 36,000, China's 1,600, Brazil's 100, Mexico's 60, Argentina's 40 and Colombia's 10.
My opinion: Obama should announce an Education Initiative of the Americas that would include large scale student and teacher exchanges with U.S. universities (there are currently 128,000 students from China in U.S. colleges, compared with only 13,000 from Mexico), as well as sending English teachers and providing free Internet English courses to tens of millions of Latin Americans.
And Obama could offer to share his experiences with his Race to the Top program, which offers money to states that change their laws to allow teacher evaluations and merit pay, so that teachers are paid by results in their classrooms rather than only by their seniority. It's a plan that would revolutionize education in Latin America.
It's time for Obama to move beyond feel-good rhetoric and build concrete bridges with the region so that the whole hemisphere could better compete with the emerging Asian and European trading blocs. Much like in the United States, education would be a good place to start.

Black History Month was proposed and promoted by Dr. Carter G Woodson in 1926. He was an American historian and scholar committed to addressing the neglect and misrepresentation of black history. He believed that educational programmes could help address racism in society.
Black History Month is recognised annually in the USA, UK and other parts of the world.
There will be a range of resources made available throughout the month on the Equality Hub in recognition of the history and work of black healthcare professionals in the UK.
Three black healthcare professionals you may not have heard about.
Dr.Agnes Yewande Savage (1906-1964) was born in Edinburgh and graduated in medicine (University of Edinburgh, 1929). She won a medal in forensic medicine and was awarded a prize as the best woman graduate.
Dr.Harold Arundel Moody (1882-1947) was born in Jamaica and studied medicine at King's College London. He set up his medical practice in Peckham, London, in 1932.
Dr.John Alcindor (1873-1924) was born in Trinidad and worked in many British hospitals before establishing a his practice in Paddington in 1907.
