Mahasen made landfall in Bangladesh on May 16, 2013. The same day, Reuters reported that the storm had claimed six lives, forced thousands of residents into shelters, and destroyed thousands of huts. Despite the damage, the toll was less severe than feared in Bangladesh and Burma, where thousands of displaced people were already living in flood-prone camps.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image the day that Mahasen came ashore. Clouds stretched across Bangladesh, northeastern India, and northwestern Burma.
In its final warning for Mahasen, the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reported that the storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 knots (85 kilometers per hour) and gusts up to 55 knots (100 kilometers per hour), but was dissipating over land.

New data shows why digital is now critical to pharma
Bad news for pharma marketers: Physicians are becoming harder to reach.
According to data from global sales and marketing firm ZS, the number of physicians who will meet with at least 70% of the pharma sales reps who request a meeting has dropped to 44%, down from 46% a year ago and 80% in 2008.
Chipotle launches a loyalty scheme to win customers back
The past year has been tough for Chipotle Mexican Grill.
After multi-state E. coli outbreaks infected dozens of customers, the high-flying American fast food chain fell back to earth and has been struggling to heal its brand and encourage consumers to stay loyal.
The role of artificial intelligence in customer communications
Artificial Intelligence has been prominent in tech news recently, and was a hot topic at SXSW.
The technology has massive potential for use in customer communication, yet will it ever be able to completely replace the need for a human element?
Data hoarding & consumer trust: are they mutually exclusive?
Remember all those 'data is the new oil' articles?
Well, to continue the tawdry analogy, is that oil burning with a clean flame?
Are companies using data to improve services for customers, or is it merely about advertising to them? And how will data brokerage and sharing need to change in the coming years?
Nowhere to hide: new privacy rules demand new thinking in UX design
The cookie law. Wasn't that a car crash?
Ugly banners stuck on top of beautiful designs, obscuring functionality and doing nothing for anybody except forcing a pointless click to get it out the way and get busy living.
Whose fault was that?
New top-level domains struggle for recognition
Can't find a good .com domain for your company?
Thanks to new top-level domains, there is more opportunity than ever to find a catchy, highly-brandable domain name that's still available for registration.
But is using a new top-level domain instead of a .com domain a good idea?
Five ways to build trust with customers
In many markets, competition is fierce and customer loyalty seems harder and harder to develop.
One of the reasons: consumers are increasingly a sceptical lot.
Why trust is vital if brands are to make the most of consumer data
Anyone who has ever watched Spider-Man will know that with great power comes great responsibility.
Digital technology has given marketers access to an unfathomable amount of customer data, however it should be used in a responsible manner for risk of destroying consumer trust.
This is particularly important in our world of freemium products that rely on a value exchange of digital services in return for access to personal data.
A new Econsultancy/Acxiom report investigates consumer attitudes towards sharing their data with companies, revealing that opinion is split on whether brands can be trusted.
Only 6% of respondents in the Delivering Value in the Data Exchange Survey indicated that they had 'a great deal of trust' in companies to whom they provided data.
44 reasons why people don't trust your website
Why do people trust - or distrust - a website? What is it about the content, the design choices, or the usability of a website that makes it seem untrustworthy?
Last month I spotted this great thread on reddit, where people explained what makes them trust / distrust company websites. I thought I'd extract some of the suggestions, and a few quotes, and I've added a bunch of my own.
The usual caveats apply: all rules are there to be broken, and our own website needs to be improved.
No doubt there are a lot of other reasons, so by all means leave a comment below if I've missed something.
Why it's always good to share in our Big Data society
We are all sharing more data than ever before with other organisations in our emerging Big Data Society. Sharing lets us use our resources much more precisely and produce completely new services.
But misusing customer data risks destroying customer trust. Still, we all need that missing piece of the Big Data puzzle, so we all need to share more.
Which ecommerce security logos do users trust? Do they matter?
Third party trust logos are used on most ecommerce sites, with the intention of reassuring potential customers that they can shop safely with the retailer in question.
There are a lot to choose from, and a recent Baynard has looked into which logos are most trusted by US shoppers.
In this post, I'll take a look at the test and the results, as well as whether we need trustmarks on ecommerce sites at all...
How trust signals can double your conversions
The role customer reviews are playing on the conversion landscape is increasing significantly, with more shoppers looking to friends and peers for guidance on purchasing decisions.
However, reviews are just one factor, and there are other ways to reassure your customers that they are safe when shopping with you.

Little Creeper All American 8" Trash Fish
The Little Creeper All American 8" Trash Fish deilvers all of the intricate baitfish details and specially developed action of the original - now in a larger package. Made to attract podium-grade fish, its signature Trash Fish tail kicks out a strong swimming action that engages at any retrieve speed.
Effective in a wide-range of environments, the Little Creeper All American 8" Trash Fish resembles a number of commonly found baitfish, including hitch, shad, shiner, alewive, and perch. This ambiguous profile is the key to its universal effectiveness and allows its bass-catching prowess to translate to nearly any body of water.
The deep hook pocket along the top also greatly increases its weedlessness, so you can throw it confidently around wood and weeds. Designed to accommodate either a weighted or unweighted 10/0 screw lock hook, the Little Creeper All American 8" Trash Fish is effective for both deep and shallow water applications. Offered in a number of natural baitfish colors, the Little Creeper All American 8" Trash Fish provides an up-sized version of the original that is aimed at a whole different pedigree of bass.

Comments: this bait is awesome! great action in the water and you can really slow tool it like as slow as you can turn the handle. kills in clear lake and down in so cal. The only bad thing about it is that you half to be very gentle when you cast because the bait is so soft but if you do that you'll catch giant bass.
From: Michael: San Diego, CA 1/5/15
Comments: This bait is sweet, better than any other swim bait. Hudds and ospreys have no much and this is weedless and costs less

Saturday night will mark the first time Central Arkansas has played against a BCS conference opponent since moving from Division II to the Football Championship Sub-division (formerly I-AA) six years ago.
While that will be a first for the Bears, it won't be a first for UCA wide receiver Jesse Grandy, a Pine Bluff native, who played two seasons at Ole Miss before transferring back to his home state.
Grandy led the Bears in receiving last year with 49 catches for 788 yards and nine touchdowns. He was second-team All-Southland Conference. He averaged 21.6 yards on kick returns and ranked in the SLC's top 10 in receiving yards, punt returns, scoring, receptions per game and all-purpose yardage.
"I'm very excited. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We could have opened up the schedule with anybody. We could play New Mexico or somebody in New Hampshire. It's a chance for me to go back and see a lot of old friends and have a small, little reunion," Grandy said.
At Ole Miss, Grandy had 24 catches over two years. He ranked third in the SEC in punt returns as a sophomore with a 14.7-yard average and also averaged 20.9 yards on kick returns.

"My only advice is get a good doctor and never give up. Life is worth living even when you are told you are terminal and won't be around long. Live every day as if it's your last. "
My name is Carol. I have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). I guess the first signs were early but were dismissed as asthma. I am 43 and was diagnosed 7 years ago. I went in for a routine check and my doctor said my heart rate had been high for a while and checked my oxygen level. She immediately called cardio and lung specialists who wanted to see me right away. I live 2 hours away from them. I was admitted into the hospital and many tests later was diagnosed with PAH. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital until I was stable and went home on oxygen and Tracleer. When I got the news that there was no cure I thought my life was over.
The lung specialist said I have 3 years at the most. Well, I proved him wrong. At the 2 year mark I found myself unable to breathe even with the oxygen. I went into my family doctor and they checked my oxygen level. It was 66. They called an ambulance and I found out I had multiple blood clots in both lungs. I was on high pressure oxygen for 2 weeks. The meds finally started working and was weaned back down to 3 liters of oxygen and was able to go home 3 weeks later. Since then I have had good days and bad days. But I thank my doctors for being so vigilant to still being here today. The Tracleer has helped with a lot of my symptoms but I am finding I am having more bad days than good ones. I have great family support but I live in a small town and haven't found any way of connecting with others. I will keep looking though. I will never give up fighting. Yes I am scared but I know God will not take me until it is my time.
Thank you for reading my story. I will keep writing and adding to it as long as I can. My only advice is get a good doctor and never give up. Life is worth living even when you are told you are terminal and won't be around long. Live every day as if it's your last. God bless. Carol

Skip to comments.NBC reporter raises Hillary Clinton questions
Posted on 12/31/2012 8:30:49 AM PST by Zakeet
The top science reporter for NBC News raised questions Monday about Secretary of State Hillary Clintons hospitalization, raising the possibility the blood clot causing isnt linked to an earlier concussion.
Its not exactly clear what is happening with Secretary Clintons health, NBC News chief science and health correspondent Robert Bazell said
All we have is a statement from her office. The hospital isnt saying anything and the statement from her [office] says that she had this blood clot that stemmed from the concussion and shes being treated with blood-thinning drugs, Bazell continued. The problem is that usually when blood clots come from concussions, they cant be treated with blood [thinners.] So either its not really related to the concussion and shes got a blood clot in her leg or something, or theres something else going on that were not being told ...
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
The problem is that the World's Smartest Woman is a Clinton ... and therefore there's something else going that we're not being told ...
She has looked sick for some time now. She looks bloated in this picture. I wonder if she has cancer. Whatever her problems are, real or otherwise, I imagine she will never testify on what happened in Libya.
I hope she recovers if she is ill; if not, I hope that whatever scam she is running blows up in her face.
Who's her designer? Walt Disney?
Maybe she just stroked out. It would explain quite a few things.
Tick, tick, tick.......the clock is running.
Republicans say they will not vote to confirm Kerry if she does not testify, but how can they hold fast when she is soooo sick?
My bet is she does not testify and Kerry gets sworn-in on schedule.
Omar (the tent maker)....extravaganseur accoutrements pour les Barnum et Bailey.
Next thing you know she'll probably dissappear. They just don't want her to face the tough and obvious questions.
Probably not related to her fake concussion.. She probably asked her doctor to 'find something wrong with me' so she could run out the clock without testifying on Benghazi so Kerry could be sworn in. She also probably said to her doctor, 'Did you have to find something this serious?' LOL
I was just about to type Omar.... still chuckling....
History of blood clots and a family history of stroke.
Hillary Kruschev Rodham Clinton has disappeared from sight.
Do members of the US Politburo look suspicious?
Has Bubba been to see her???
Family history. Her father died of a stroke and most likely suffered earlier strokes before the final one.
She is just a plump, post-menopausal woman caught by the camera in unflattering light. I won't ridicule her for that, it happens to the best of us.
However I will ridicule her for this elaborate stunt. Her spin-machine cleverly released this huge, dramatic, blockbuster news of her hospitalization, knowing the MSM would lead the public to believe this was a complication of the claimed "concussion" --i.e. confirmation that the alleged "concussion" really happened.
I would bet the ranch this is all being stage-managed with the cooperation of sympathetic doctors who are Friends of the Clintons. With health privacy rules in effect, and a tightly closed Clinton PR operation that refuses to release even basic information (such as the date Her alleged "concussion" was "sustained"), we can never know for sure.
And it would only be mean, wascally Wepubwicans who would dare question the reason poor Hillary has been "hospitalized" (oh, the melodrama).
HC has about the same BMI as Chris Christie.
Has Barbara Walters asked HC if she is too fat to run for President yet?
/...holding breath
...raising the possibility the blood clot causing isnt linked to an earlier concussion.She'd receive a state funeral I'm sure, with most people, including Zero, showing up just to make sure she's really dead.
as Health and Science Correspondent I suppose he has to maintain some shred of credibility, at least on the medical facts of the situation.
she had this blood clot that stemmed from the concussion
This type of blood clot often causes severe memory loss. /s
True, there is the family history part.
But alas, there is the undeniable history of LYING all, the, time! Hard to believe the boy/girl who cried wolf.
Whatever the heck is wrong with her, my bet is that it
has nothing to do with falling, concussion, dehydration, clots or otherwise. She is a freakin lying joke.
You know how it goes.......great minds and all that :)
Bad health or good health...Hillary's political future is finished. The families of the Benghazi victims will file civil lawsuits against Clinton and the State Dept - the buck stops with her for the security of foreign service personnel.
Hil gonna be Vince Fostered?
I think we are looking at amnesia and how courageous she is for trying to get in front of congress despite her illness.
Such a brave woman.
Not to worry, I'm sure the HHS Secretary will give Hillary a waiver under Obamacare for the expensive procedure neede to correct Hillary's health issue.
She's already admitted that she was on blood thinners. Then, she said, she quit taking them. I'm no Doctor, but I think that's a really stupid move.
This blood clot is dangerous ...the woman can never testify as she wont be able to remember anything
!She looks bloated in this picture!
Drinking to excess makes you bloated.
She is fine,she is just pretending to be unwell so she does not have to answer questions.
Happy new year to all free republic readers from Europe.
I just threw up in my mouth a little... :)
Then Hillary must have had a blood clot in her brain for more than two decades of testifying before various committees investigating her involvement with corruption or dead people, and giving her response, "I don't recall."
A Clinton and their spokespeople can never be trusted to tell the truth. Whatever her problems are, it's not what they are telling people and you can bet the farm on that.
We were talking about this at the hospital today
The story doesn't make sense
My Neurology training is balking
I'm not saying a word, remember Bill Casey and Iran/Contra?
Media thought someone was lying and Bill died of a stroke while our wonderful meaningful media was on the hospital lawn with ropes, torches, and pitchforks.
Maybe she's having Kanye West's baby........
There is no circulating blood in the brain due to the blood-brain barrier.
The bloodbrain barrier (BBB) is a separation of circulating blood from the brain extracellular fluid (BECF) in the central nervous system (CNS). It occurs along all capillaries and consists of tight junctions around the capillaries that do not exist in normal circulation. Endothelial cells restrict the diffusion of microscopic objects (e.g., bacteria) and large or hydrophilic molecules into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), while allowing the diffusion of small hydrophobic molecules (O2, CO2, hormones).
Blood thinners is however a treatment for strokes.
Personally I think she's in getting a fashion transplant
from Michele obama, lord knows she needs it.
She's laying immoble in that hospital bed thinking,
"Whoa, what happened, why can't I move or even call
out? There is Bill and Barak talking in the corner
what are they talking about?".
Barak,"Bill I want you to know, it wasn't anything
personal but the Bengazhi thing, well you understand."
Bill, "Ah sure do an I hope you have a suitable ceremony
Doesn't matter what makes sense medically in the liberal/democrat world. The lie is the truth and all the low information voters/supporters of Hillary will believe it hook, line and sinker. The truth in irrelevant in Obama's America.
Hillary: I want a second opinion.
Doctor: Okay, you're also ugly.
That is precisely correct.
Ding~! Ding~! Ding~! I think we have a winner folks!
Deja vu Weekend at Bernie's Inauguration Day.
I maintain that Hillary is undergoing a major makeover, including a lot of cosmetic surgery, in preparation for her 2016 run. It's never too soon to start the campaign, and the sooner she gets this kind of prep work out of the way, the better. Four years from now, the ignorant chattering class will not remember that she disappeared for a month or two back in 2012.
"Evita" may provide a huge distraction in the coming months.....
Looks more like something from the set of H.R. Puff n' Stuff.
We've seen that picture several times. That particular photograph of H. Clinton makes her appear as the old alcoholic woman that lived in the filthy cockroach infested house next to us back in Long Beach in the 1970's, and '80's.
She drank herself to death, and the house went to a developer who cleaned it up somewhat, and rented it to a druggie.
We sold our place, and moved to the country.
THAT's what we see when we see that picture of Hillary Clinton.

I know there have been multiple versions of this through the years, but I am referring to the album that came out in the late-70s. It had an amazing array of music and artists. Some of my favorite songs even today come from hearing this album as a child.

8th Sunday of Matthew
The Gospel according to Matthew 14:14-22
At that time, Jesus saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves." Jesus said, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat." They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish." And he said, "Bring them here to me." Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

By BARBARA ROWEUtah State University Extension Family Resource Management Specialist
Even the closest of families can feel uncomfortable talking about parents' money, the need for future caregiving and parents' last wishes. As a result, the topic is avoided, postponed or left without being discussed, often until there is an emergency. Then children become frantic looking for the financial and legal documents needed to handle parents' financial affairs and last wishes.
Consider the following information.
*Being reticent to bring up this important discussion is more common among older children than their parents. In a recent insurance company survey, 76 percent of elderly parents said they would be very comfortable talking to their children about the financial issues they will face as they age. However, only 45 percent of adult children said they would be comfortable having this type of conversation. And when parents want to address the topic, their childrens' responses are usually prefaced with "Nothing's going to happen to you," or flat-out, "I don't want to talk about it."
*As difficult as it is, this discussion needs to take place to avoid possible devastating consequences for family members. Someone, whether it is you or a family advisor, should have a list of your parents' financial information, including bank and credit union account numbers, insurance policies (health, life, auto, long-term care), retirement account information, deeds to real estate, powers of attorney, contact information for attorneys and doctors and a list of assets and debts. It is important to know the location of birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce papers, military records, wills, Social Security and Medicare cards and safe deposit boxes.
It is also important to be able to locate forms for beneficiary designations on savings accounts, investments, IRAs, 401(k) plans and company pensions. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) posts a list entitled "Valuable Documents at Your Fingertips" on its Web site at www.aarp.org, under "Family, Home and Legal." This list can help elders and their children learn how to pull this information together.
*When parents become incapacitated, their children need the legal authority to write checks on parents' accounts to pay bills, file taxes and insurance claims and authorize medical treatments. A "durable power of attorney" authorizes children to make financial transactions on their parents' behalf. A "health care power of attorney" lets children make medical decisions when their parents become incapacitated. A "living will" states what medical treatments and life-sustaining procedures parents want and don't want.
*If you haven't already, discuss these issues soon while parents are still healthy. Don't become discouraged if one side or the other doesn't want to engage in the discussion right away. The topic is an emotional one. But if you make your goals clear and acknowledge that the discussion is difficult, both parents and children can benefit from a candid conversation that will allow parents' wishes to be carried out.

Ronson 'sorry' for dog death, facing investigation
DJ Samantha Ronson has offered her condolences to the owner of a small Maltese dog her bulldog is believed to have killed in a vicious attack on Monday.
RELATED: Learn all about Sam over at MSN
Lindsay Lohan's ex-girlfriend was walking with her bulldog, Cadillac, near her Los Angeles apartment when her pet is said to have attacked a smaller pooch nearby.
And Ronson has taken to her Twitter.com page to convey her sadness over the incident.
In a series of posts, she writes, "There is absolutely nothing I can say that will alter one minute of today, nothing.
"I feel incredibly sad and wish I could offer more than condolences, unfortunately there are no words to describe how sorry I am."
RELATED: Sam's hot romance gossip
Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care & Control is investigating the death of the Maltese. Spokesman Michelle Roache told People.com, "The incident is still an allegation until such a time that a witness provides evidence to support the allegation."
Roache also said that the department will look into see whether or not Cadillac has had any previous incidents like this one.
Ronson has reportedly shipped Cadillac off to New York to be with her family.

Canada drops opening match on Australian Tour
BRISBANE, Australia – Canada's national men's volleyball team lost to Australia 25-22, 25-23, 25-22 on Thursday. It was Canada's first of four matches in Australia where they will be for the next two weeks to continue preparations for this September's world championships.
The Canadians left their training base in Gatineau, Que., on Monday and arrived in Australia on Wednesday morning. Thursday's match was Canada's fifth since reuniting in May after their pro seasons overseas.
"It could have gone better for us tonight," said Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon, who watched from the sidelines on Thursday due to a hand injury suffered last week in training. "We had some moments where we played well, we had leads in the first two sets but couldn't finish."
Schmitt, one of Canada's top scorers last month at the Pan Am Cup, hopes to be able to play in the upcoming matches.
"The hand is getting better day-by-day," he said. "I'm back to practicing and I did some warming up tonight so hopefully it can be all mended soon. Still this is an exhibition series and there is no sense rushing things. But I'm anxious to start playing again."
The Canadian team leaves Brisbane Friday for Canberra where it will reside and train at the Australian Institute of Sport. The next match between the two squads is Saturday in Canberra.
The 14-member Canadian team, lead by head coach Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que., is comprised of Louis-Pierre Mainville of Notre-Dame-de-l'Isle, Que., Steve Brinkman of Bowmanville, Ont., Adam Kaminski of Chatham, Ont., Justin Duff of Winnipeg, Dustin Schneider of Brandon, Man., Joshua Howatson of Victoria, Jeremy Wilcox of Calgary, Fred Winters of Victoria, Steve Gotch of Okotoks, Alta., Toon Van Lankvelt of Rivers, Man., Nicholas Cundy of Edmonton, Dallas Soonias of Red Deer, Alta., Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon and Benoit Raymond of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que.

Even at this point of the NFL season, there are many surprises popping up, from the Niners changing quarterbacks, to crowded backfields making weekly picks uncertain and unheralded receivers starting to get loose in Scott Cullen's Week 12 NFL Recap.
CHANGING OF THE GUARD A concussion to starting QB Alex Smith paved the way for the 49ers to get Colin Kaepernick into the lineup last week, where he impressed in a Monday night win against Chicago, but a healthy Smith wasn't enough to unseat Kaepernick, who was effective (16-of-25, 231 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT, 27 YDS, 1 TD, six carries) in a win at New Orleans.
While it's shocking to put an unproven second-year quarterback in for a quarterback that has been as effective (30 TD-10 INT) as Smith over the last couple seasons, Kaepernick offers more upside and gives the Niners a higher ceiling as a team. Does it mean they can't ever return to Alex Smith? No. But until Kaepernick runs into problems, or gets hurt, he has the nod for the Niners.
WHADDYA KNOW? For most of the week, leading up to the Denver Broncos game at Kansas City, it appeared that Ronnie Hillman would be the beneficiary with Willis McGahee out for the rest of the regular season. However, it turned out that Knowshon Moreno was the featured back and he was productive enough (111 yards, 24 touches) to believe that he'll remain in that role going forward.
ROLLING THE DICE There are some teams that have solid running back situations that make it easy to define which players will contribute week after week. That hasn't been the case with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints this season.
Injuries certainly play a role in this complication, but the Steelers have not been able to establish one bona fide threat as Rashard Mendenhall, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer have shared the work between each of their injuries. Dwyer led the Steelers with nine carries Sunday, followed by Chris Rainey (5), Mendenhall (4) and Redman (2). Tough to find value in that group, or predict that Rainey, who has 21 carries all season, would be the one to score a touchdown.
In New Orleans, it has largley been a three-pronged attack with Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles and Mark Ingram sharing touches, but when Sproles was out of the lineup for a couple of weeks, Chris Ivory stepped in an earned the right to keep playing. In Sunday's loss to San Francisco, it was Thomas, who had one carry, who was left on the outside looking in as Ingram (10), Ivory (8) and Sproles (7) had more touches.
Green Bay has a similar jumble in the backfield, with Cedric Benson injured. Alex Green had been the one receiving the most touches, but then James Starks emerged in Week 11 and looked to be taking over, only to have Green finish with more touches (13) than Starks (8) Sunday night.
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON A couple of the league's elite wide receivers continued their strong play on Thanksgiving. Texans WR Andre Johnson (9 REC, 188 YDS) has exploded for 23 catches and 461 yards in the last two weeks. His 273 and 188-yard single-game totals rank second and fifth-highest for his career.
Lions WR Calvin Johnson (8 REC, 140 YDS, 1 TD) has been nursing a knee injury and missing practice time because of it, but his results over the last four weeks -- 32 catches for 619 yards, 3 TD -- would seem to indicate that it's not affecting his in-game performance.
HENNE EFFECT A more reliable quarterback seems to agree with Jaguars wide receivers Cecil Shorts (4 REC, 105 YDS, 1 TD) and Justin Blackmon (5 REC, 62 YDS, 1 TD), who both had productive games against the Titans. Shorts has been under the radar for much of the season, despite ranking 21st among wide receivers in fantasy points per game (8.8). Blackmon has been a non-factor for most of his rookie campaign, but the last two weeks have brought significant production as he seems to have a better connection with veteran QB Chad Henne.
BIG-TIME RECEIVERS BLANKED Steelers WR Mike Wallace (no catches, six targets at Cleveland) and Cowboys WR Miles Austin (no catches, two targets) were among the bigger name receivers to get shut out in Week 12. Austin left the Thanksgiving Day game early with a hip injury, but Wallace was a victim of QB Charlie Batch combined with Cleveland's strong cover corners.
THINNING HERD With Austin injured early against Washington, Cowboys receivers Dwayne Harris (4 REC, 71 YDS) and Cole Beasley (7 REC, 68 YDS) were relatively productive in the first extended action for either one.
CIN CITY After rushing for a season-high 101 yards in Week 11, Bengals RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis upped the ante (129 yards, 1 TD, 19 carries) in Week 12, riding a wave of momentum with the Cincinnati offence.
When it comes to Bengals receivers, A.J. Green remains the pre-eminent target, but rookie Mohamed Sanu thrived (5 REC, 29 YDS, 2 TD vs. Oakland) in the absence of Andrew Hawkins. Sanu is a big target and has a modest 98 yards receiving in the last three games, but has scored four touchdowns in that time.
DOWN ON THE CORNER One of the strong suits for the Seattle defence this season has been the play of cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner, a pair of aggressive, physical corners that aren't afraid to push the boundaries with their hands-on play. The Seahawks' pass defence has been among the league's best, allowing 10 touchdown passes through 12 weeks, so it could be a big loss if Sherman and Browner are suspended for PED use.
MIAMI NICE While RB Reggie Bush had one of his best days (87 yards, 1 TD, 14 carries), in fact his second-highest rushing total of the season, the Dolphins also got continued production from RB Daniel Thomas (78 yards, 10 touches). Thomas is up to 443 yards from scrimmage, which puts him in the top half dozen of backup running backs for yardage.
In the passing game, Miami succeeded against Seattle with their slot receiver, Davone Bess setting a new career-high for yardage (7 REC, 129 YDS). Staying in the middle of the field, the Dolphins also had a productive day (6 REC, 84 YDS, 1 TD) from TE Charles Clay, who was playing a more prominent role while Anthony Fasano was slowed by a hip injury.
DIMINISHING RETURNS Falcons RB Michael Turner endured another difficult (17 yards, 1 TD, 13 carries) game Sunday. While he scored a touchdown for the second time in the last three weeks, Turner has managed just 78 yards on 41 carries (1.9 ypc) in those three games.
BUSH THE BEAR With Matt Forte hobbled by an ankle injury, Michael Bush has his most productive game (60 YDS, 2 TD, 21 carries) since joining the Bears. If Forte is out of the lineup, it will provide Bush an opportunity to handle starter's touches, a role in which he had some success when he was with Oakland.
REMEMBER RASHAD Jaguars RB Jalen Parmele (45 YDS, eight carries) suffered a leg injury against Tennessee, allowing Rashad Jennings to handle 16 carries (for 43 yards and a touchdown) against the Titans.
BIG-PLAY TORREY One week after managing one catch for seven yards against the Steelers, Ravens WR Torrey Smith went off for a big game (7 REC, 144 YDS, 13 targets) against San Diego Sunday. Smith has been scoring enough (7 TDs) to be valuable this season, even if his yardage (699 yards, two 100-yard games) has been inconsistent.
GAINING STEAM Rams RB Steven Jackson has only scored two touchdowns this season and put up pedestrian numbers through the first eight games, never gaining more than 85 yards from scrimmage, but Sunday's effort (139 YDS, 24 carries) against Arizona capped a three weeks stretch in which he has run for 321 yards on 66 carries.
HOUSE OF CARDS The struggling Cardinals did get a bit of positive news Sunday, with RB Beanie Wells (48 YDS, 2 TD, 17 carries) returning to action against the Rams. With Ryan Lindley (31-for-52, 312 YDS, 4 INT) starting at quarterback, the Cardinals continued to struggle, but Wells does offer a viable alternative in the running game, for as long as he remains healthy.
Naturally, the Cardinals had more productive days from WR Andre Roberts (9 REC, 92 YDS) and TE Rob Housler (8 REC, 82 YDS) than they did from WR Larry Fitzgerald (3 REC, 31 YDS). While Fitzgerald is obviously the much bigger name, with a superior pedigree, he and Roberts have put up the same 8.0 fantasy points per game this season.
GIVE IT UP Rams Chris Givens (5 REC, 115 YDS, 1 TD) emerged as Sam Bradford's number one receiver Sunday, as an injured Danny Amendola was targeted just once and Brandon Gibson didn't register a catch, while he was targeted just three times.
STAFF MEETING Even as the losses continue to pile up for the Detroit Lions, QB Matthew Stafford (31-for-61, 441 YDS, 2 TD vs. Houston) is putting up big numbers, and while not quite as prolific as last year's 5,000-yard season, he does lead all quarterbacks with 3429 passing yards.
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS With Titus Young serving a team-imposed suspension, rookie Lions WR Ryan Broyles had a career-best (6 REC, 126 YDS) game against Houston. Even when Young returns, don't be surprised to see Broyles' role increasing for the Lions.
GARCON MEANS BOY Redskins WR Pierre Garcon has been hampered for much of the season with a foor injury suffered in Week One, however he had a productive (5 REC, 92 YDS, 1 TD) Thanksgiving Day game at Dallas and should be poised for a strong finish since he is the best weapon at Robert Griffin III's disposal.
TOP DEFENDERS Janoris Jenkins, CB, St. Louis (2 INT TD) Jerrell Freeman, ILB, Indianapolis (15 total tackles, one sack) Stephen Tulloch, MLB, Detroit (15 total tackles) D'Qwell Jackson, ILB, Cleveland (8 tackles, 1 FF, 1 FR) Lawrence Timmons, ILB, Pittsburgh (10 total tackles, 53-yard INT TD) Anthony Spencer, OLB, Dallas (10 total tackles, two sacks) Zach Brown, OLB, Tennessee (8 tackles, 2 sacks) Miles Burris, OLB, Oakland (13 total tackles) J.J. Watt, De, Houston (five tackles, three sacks, two passes defended)
INJURIES Miles Austin, WR, Dallas (hip) Matt Forte, RB, Chicago (ankle) Andre Brown, RB, N.Y. Giants (leg) Jalen Parmele, RB, Jacksonville (leg) Kendall Hunter, RB, San Francisco (ankle) Brandon Weeden, QB, Cleveland (concussion) Dexter McCluster, WR, Kansas City (head) Devin Hester, WR, Chicago (concussion) Bruce Carter, ILB, Dallas (elbow) Asante Samuel, CB, Atlanta (shoulder) Dunta Robinson, CB, Atlanta (head)

Great shoes for boys!
"My 12yr old son wanted a pair of vans that he could just slip on, he saw these online and wanted them. (He gets almost as excited about the arrival of a DSW package for him, as I do for me.) :D He normally wears anywhere from a 5 to a 5 1/2 shoe, but due to those sizes being sold out, we decided to try the size 6. It fit perfectly, and he says they are very comfortable. So in my opinion, these shoes run a bit on the small size, so order a 1/2 size to a full size bigger. Overall, these are great shoes, and the green accent on the grey background is a fun color!"

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Genesis 10:32-11:9
These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood. Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

Have you seen it? Okay, there's no such show called "Science: The Musical." Not yet, anyway. But writing, performing, and recording songs about science isn't as uncommon as it sounds. Actually, we're willing to bet you've heard more than a few—though you may not have realized it.
One science tune is currently being heard every week by several million people: "The History of Everything," also known as the theme song for the hit television show The Big Bang Theory. The song, penned and performed by the Barenaked Ladies, details the entire history of universe in 1 minute, 46 seconds. If you think that's brief, the theme song is an even briefer 32 seconds. "The creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady were big fans of the band and they called," remembers Barenaked Ladies' singer/guitarist Ed Robertson.
In an interview with spinner.com, Robertson explained the history of the song: "They said, 'We love your writing. All we need from you is sort of a history of everything in about 32 seconds." The full-length version came later but Robertson was more than happy to lengthen the song. "I'm a total science geek and I had just read a book by Simon Singh calledBig Bang: Everything You Need to Know About the Most Important Discovery of All Time," he says. "It's kind of a layman's explanation of every scientific discovery that led up to cosmological theory. So I had just read that and then I got asked, 'Would you be interested in writing a theme song for a show called The Big Bang Theory?' 'Yes! Yes!' So yeah, it was really fun." [Spinner.com]
The Barenaked Ladies aren't the only band to veer into science territory. Another band, They Might Be Giants (TMBG), made a breakthrough with its science-themed songs initially aimed at children. You might recognize the band's most familiar tune "You're Not the Boss of Me," the theme song of the (now-cancelled) sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. The Grammy-winning band's 2009 album for children is title Here Comes Science, with song titles that range from the scientific "Meet the Elements" to the silly "My Brother the Ape."
Though TMBG writes the majority of their own songs, Here Comes Science includes two songs: "Why Does the Sun Shine?" and "What Is a Shooting Star?" that were written more than 50 years ago by Lou Singer and Hy Zaret. Singer and Zaret became famous in the 1950s for collaborating on a six-album series called Ballads for the Age of Science—but that was after Zaret co-wrote a song that's become one of the most famous and recognizable tunes of all time, "Unchained Melody."
Popular songs about science include those that either contain the word "science" in their titles or among their lyrics, or mention science-related theories or terminology. Sometimes it's surprising what words turn up where. One of the songs from the popular animated series Phineas and Ferb contains the lines:
"…and we don't need to break the laws of physics to make a day that's longer than a day. We can follow that old sun around the circumference of the globe…"
There's also a cute story about a song by British songstress Katie Melua. The original version of her song, "Nine Million Bicycles," contained an error; specifically the reference to the number of light years was incorrect. The mistake was caught by science writer Simon Singh, who discussed it in a column in the Guardian. Melua was embarrassed by the blunder and decided to re-record the song with different lyrics. Both the original and corrected versions can be heard here.
With some help, The Exchange put together a list of popular science-related songs. Tell us your favorites and let us know if we've overlooked any that should be included. Enjoy!:

Don Jennison
Statements By Members
May 11th, 2005 / 2:05 p.m.
Sarmite Bulte Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform the House of the passing of one of my constituents, Don Jennison. Don was a committed activist for many causes both in my riding in the city of Toronto and across the country.
I first met Don in his role as a founding member of world 19, a community group that grew out of the campaign against the rushed amalgamation of the city of Toronto. Throughout the years, I had several meetings with world 19 and Don was always one of its most committed and passionate spokespeople. His concerns covered a broad spectrum of issues, from neighbourhood development to maintaining a fully public health care system.
I always found Don to be a challenging, well-informed and dedicated advocate for the causes in which he believed. This concept of public service from a private citizen is commendable. In this sense Don Jennison serves as an exemplar of the public spiritedness to which we should all aspire.
I wish to offer my sincere condolences to Don's family, his friends and his community. His passing leaves many lives emptier and diminishes the quality of our public discourse.
Conservative Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party is the government in waiting and stands for what Canadians want.
Conservatives believe in honesty and accountability, not Liberal corruption and scandal.
Conservatives believe in the Canada Health Act and the right to access publicly funded health care, not a Liberal health care mess created by 12 years of Liberal mismanagement.
Conservatives believe in clean air, clean water and a healthy environment, not Liberal mismanagement where raw sewage is dumped into our oceans and much of our air is polluted.
Conservatives believe in the protection of Canadians, the right to live in safe communities. Dangerous criminals will serve their sentences in prison, not our neighbourhoods.
Conservatives believe in lower taxes, not Liberal waste.
Canadians want a government that keeps its promises. The Liberals have lost the right to govern this great country. Canadians want a Conservative government now.
Liberal Government
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Roger Gaudet Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is a tainted government and no longer deserves public confidence.
It lacks vision and has insulted the intelligence of Quebeckers by thinking it could buy their conscience. The people of Quebec are not prepared to forget.
When we are elected, we come here to serve the public. The Liberal government has instead chosen to work for its own personal gains in utter disregard of any moral obligations. By hiding the truth, the Liberal government has worked against Quebec and against Canada.
The Liberal government has lost every speck of integrity, no longer deserves to govern and must stop clinging onto power.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Scott Simms Bonavista—Exploits, NL
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to bring to the attention of all members a very important issue to the people of my riding of Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor which is the food fishery.
This opportunity allows me to pay tribute to the hard work of Beaton Keats and his brother Tony, who started the Dover food fishery committee. They have heard from the entire island of Newfoundland and also Labrador about this very serious issue that concerns the cherished cultural right of fishing for cod to provide for the dinner table.
In fact, the committee has managed to collect 14,395 names for this cause and this cultural right of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Government of Canada
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jeff Watson Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, the people of Essex understand that we need an election. We need an election to get rid of a corrupt and scandal ridden Liberal government for a clean Conservative government.
We need an election because the Liberal government is emptying the treasury, $22 billion in spending announcements since the Prime Minister appeared on TV begging for his political life. We cannot afford a 10 month pre-election campaign.
We need an election because the Liberal budget was bad and the new NDP budget is even worse. There is no auto policy and high taxes on auto makers, no aid for Essex farmers, no new money to fix our border congestion, and no rollback of the brutal 70% Liberal tax hike on Canadian seniors collecting U.S. social security.
We need an election because the Liberal government has lost the confidence of this House. The Liberals have lost the moral, financial and constitutional authority to govern. We need an election now.
Asian Heritage Month
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Susan Kadis Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, the month of May is Asian Heritage Month. It acknowledges the significant contributions of Asian Canadians to Canada's rich cultural history.
In Canada our cultural diversity strengthens the country in a measurable way. Asian Heritage Month is an ideal occasion for all to celebrate the beauty and wisdom of various Asian cultures across Canada.
Today in Ottawa we will celebrate the launching of the Taste of Asia Festival 2005 as part of Asian Heritage Month. The festival is highly successful and promotes the awareness of Asian communities across cultural exchanges.
The success of the event is in large part due to Dr. Ken Ng, a constituent of mine, who is the chairman of the Taste of Asia Festival as well as the Federation of Chinese-Canadians of Markham. Dr. Ng is highly regarded throughout my community and across Toronto as a tireless leader of the Chinese community and other communities. He is always promoting peace and harmony.
On behalf of my constituents I would like to thank all Asian communities for their part in making Canada the role model for diversity and multiculturalism it is today.
Liberal Government
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Alain Boire Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, last night, a motion calling on the government to step down was passed in this House.
With that vote, the Bloc Québécois has confirmed its commitment toward Quebeckers to defend the best interests of Quebec.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning the action of a government that denies the Quebec difference, that refuses to recognize the fiscal imbalance, that ignores the urgent needs of the unemployed and that scoffs at Quebec's constitutional jurisdictions.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning a corrupt regime that did not hesitate to pig out at the public trough.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning a government that, for two weeks now, as a last ditch effort, has been throwing around billions of dollars to try to hang on to power.
The Liberal government does not have the legitimacy or the moral authority to govern. Today we are vehemently denouncing it.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Dominic LeBlanc Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, the supply management system has provided Canadian farmers, particularly dairy and egg producers, with stability and fair pricing for decades. However, our much vaunted supply management system is now being undermined to the detriment of hardworking Canadian farm families.
The government needs to act decisively to protect this essential Canadian value. My cousins Richard and Guy LeBlanc operate a very successful dairy farm in Memramcook, New Brunswick. Their father before them began this now high-tech business decades ago. Our government needs to defend these hardworking men and women and other farm families by refusing to lower tariff rates, by maintaining effective border controls, and by not allowing protein substitutes to circumvent these rules.
I believe the government needs to also immediately invoke article 28 of GATT to control these already damaging imports. This has to be done quickly before further imports damage our market.
Canadian farmers need our unconditional support.
Drug Strategy
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Randy Kamp Dewdney—Alouette, BC
Mr. Speaker, crystal meth is a dangerous drug that is devastating the lives of countless young Canadians and putting our communities in peril.
I am pleased to rise today to applaud the premiers of the western provinces and northern territories for their recent decision to declare war on this highly addictive street drug. Realizing that it will take a united approach, the premiers agreed to convene a meeting of western health, justice and public safety ministers in June in Regina to develop a concrete plan to improve enforcement, public awareness and treatment. That plan will be brought to the national first ministers meeting in August.
Congratulations to the western premiers. This epidemic requires all levels of government in all areas of the country to work together toward a solution that will make a difference. We here in Parliament need to join hands with the western premiers in this battle with crystal meth and do our part. We should not only applaud the western premiers, we should commit ourselves to an effective national drug strategy that will save lives.
The Budget
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Raymond Simard Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am astonished by the many groups and individuals who have contacted my office to indicate that the budget must be adopted and implemented. Groups such as the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, seniors, environmental and day care groups, parents with young children, students, and constituents as a whole are counting on this Parliament to deliver the budget.
What is at stake is funding for health care, defence and security, international assistance, support for seniors, strengthening aboriginal communities, early learning and childhood development initiatives, affordable housing, and delivering on a new deal for cities and communities.
Canadians elected this Parliament less than a year ago and expect the government to deliver on its mandate and that is exactly what we are doing.
I suggest the Leader of the Opposition put aside his personal ambitions and cut short his quaint little relationship with a party that has but one objective, to split this country apart. He should do what is best for Canada and support a budget that Canadians clearly want.
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Bev Desjarlais Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, the body of another murdered woman was found near Edmonton just a few kilometres away from where three other women have been found since 2003. In Winnipeg this past weekend, the body of another sex trade worker was found in a dumpster. In Vancouver at least 69 women are reported missing and presumed dead.
These women are vulnerable to violence because they have been pushed to the edge of society. My colleague from Vancouver East was instrumental in creating the subcommittee on solicitation, which is looking at ways to ensure that sex trade workers are protected the same as all Canadians.
Poverty can force women into addiction, homelessness and prostitution. Aboriginal women are among the most vulnerable. Throughout Canada, more than 500 aboriginal women have gone missing or been murdered over the last 30 years.
This Mother's Day more than 300 people participated in the Sisters in Sprit march in Winnipeg, focusing attention on the plight of women who are missing and murdered. How many more women will be murdered or go missing before Canadian governments move to action?
Member for Abbotsford
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Randy White Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, an election is imminent and this is the last time I will speak in the House of Commons. I want to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Langley, British Columbia for their support and the citizens of Abbotsford, British Columbia for their support over the last 12 years.
Without their active participation in the politics of our country, there would be no victims' rights or sex offender registry in the Criminal Code. Together we worked hard on bringing the issue of drugs to the House of Commons, fought SE2 for cleaner air and dealt with the devastation of the avian flu.
I want to sincerely thank my staff, my children, Jason and Trena, and most important, my wife, Marty, for standing behind me. I wish all my colleagues the wisdom to come to this place as Canadians working together for the common good, and I certainly hope we see an election that sees that motley group of people over there removed.
Liberal Government
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Marc Boulianne Mégantic—L'Érable, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is hiding behind rules of procedure in order to avoid admitting that it no longer enjoys the confidence of the members of this House.
While it refuses to call a general election, the Liberal members are acting as if they were in the midst of an election campaign, wasting no time in using that tried and true election strategy of doling out gifts.
Using taxpayers' money, this government will stop at nothing to distribute billions of dollars in order to buy votes. With a wave of its magic wand, it advanced $4.6 billion in investments in exchange for the NDP's support. The Prime Minister rubbed his magic lamp and produced $5.75 billion to try to buy votes in Ontario.
This Prime Minister is a sad spectacle of a man clinging desperately to power. The time has come.
