text: A Stealth Game Where Getting Caught Is Half The FunPatricia Hernandez4/29/13 6:00pmFiled to: The MultiplayerPCXBLAMonacoindieKotakuCore313EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The plan is simple. Get in, grab all the money, get out. Everyone has a role in this heist, and if we do our jobs correctly, nobody sees us and nobody needs to get hurt, see? Thing is, when you're playing Monaco—the fantastic class-based co-op stealth game—things don't always go according to plan. That's not a bad thing. Typically, class-based games work best when everyone knows how to effectively use their specific class. Typically, we play games to be efficient at them: in this case, since it's a stealth game, you'd think that, above all, you'd want to avoid getting caught. If you're playing as Monaco's Mole, for example, you'd think you'd want to be mindful about what parts of the level you tear down: the ability is noisy and attracts guards. And sure, there's pleasure in being sneaky in stealth games. That's especially the case when a game seems to change for the worse when you get caught—Leigh Alexander describes Metal Gear Solid 3 as being a game where "You feel a sense of pleasure and mastery so long as you don't generate noise or movement above a certain acceptable baseline. Call enough attention to yourself and suddenly you're fighting an unpleasant combat game in which you experience crushing anxiety and virtual pain." Advertisement Advertisement Monaco is less like Metal Gear Solid and more like Pac-Man, in that the game becomes better when you're the predator. In Pac-Man, as Robert Boyd puts it, you switch between being a predator who can kill everything, to being vulnerable prey—and much of Monaco is in making these switches intentionally (versus making these switches because of a screw-up, like you might in most stealth-games).Plus, thanks to the timer, Monaco is less about stealth than it is navigating a level quickly. And speed doesn't always mean furtive finesse. Speed might mean going, "Screw it," and recognizing the shortest route between you and your goal is directly in front of a bunch of guard dogs. You're going to take it anyway. And when you do—when that dog sees you, this music starts playing:It's so pulse-poundingly perfect, you feel as if you're supposed to be playing like that the entire time. Beyond the pleasure of trying to navigate a level while under pressure, heists are interesting because things go wrong, no? It feels more romantic, more true to the heist spirit, to play Monaco brashly, knowing you'll risk being caught.Hence Monaco is the rare game where I don't mind having a lack of communication with other players, or having someone else mess up mid-level. Yes, we'll try our best to play it safe, but when that doesn't work, the slips and mistakes aren't something to dread. That's when the game becomes interesting. Actually, Monaco reminds me of Borderlands a bit. Sponsored Borderlands is best played with four other people, as the difficulty scales to an absurd level. It's not just more monsters, it's bigger monsters, deadlier monsters—literally badass monsters. With four players, Borderlands becomes the adrenaline junkie's dream. Monaco can similarly become entropy with more people. And if it does, it's like an added layer of challenge where you have to know how to react and adapt quickly, while in danger.Granted, Monaco also becomes more complex with more people: multiple classes means more opportunities for sophisticated strategies. If you play by yourself, you are restricted to only using your abilities. With more people, you can pursue routes and approaches to a level you couldn't otherwise. Advertisement Maybe you get the Lookout to scope out the scene for you before going forward, and when the coast is clear, you get the Mole to bust down some walls. With this alternate route, the Cleaner, who can take out enemies, has the opportunity to get the jump on some unsuspecting guards. You wouldn't be able to do most of that stuff on your own, especially if you're not playing as those classes.Some people will want to figure that stuff out, see which combinations work best under specific circumstances. I am too, by virtue of playing it and paying attention to what's happening. But for the most part, there's only two words for the heart of Monaco, Borderlands and even games like Super Smash Bros: chaos reigns.The Multiplayer is a weekly column that looks at how people crash into each other while playing games.

FOSS Multicast Document Sharing? 125
Jawdy writes "I am currently leading a small game development project with artists and developers scattered all over the country. Getting together is somewhat difficult, but we try to do this every couple of months.
We often share all kinds of documents with each other, and even do so while using IM clients (GTalk and MSN), but this winds up being a tedious process of: send document; read and edit; send back; rinse and repeat.
What I wanted to ask fellow slashdotters is, if anyone knows of any FOSS software that can handle IM (or even voice chat), Whiteboard and document sharing — where we can all see the document, pass around 'editing rights' and edit live. Even several small apps that handle the individual components would help out!"

I've been reading reviews, blogs and various posts about Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott's new record(their 2nd together), and they all seem to say roughly the same thing: "Why did you wait 13 years to put this out?!" It was worth waiting for; the follow up to their Real Time release in 2000, this collection is split down the middle with 5 tunes by Tim, 5 by Darrell and 3 covers, including John Prine's Paradise, featuring John singing harmony.

Advertisement I spent about a half hour with the localized version of the DS title last week, settling down into a chair to tap my way through a small section of gameplay.In Okamiden players take on the role of Chibiterasu, the wolf cub of Okami's Amatersau. Throughout the section I played through, Chibiterasu had sidekick Kuni, the son of the original game's Susano, riding on his back. I used the DS' directional pad to guide Chibiterasu around the world from a distant third-person perspective shown on the top screen. That top view of the gameplay was almost completely unobstructed with only a few icons littering the bottom of the screen. Little icons pop up in the right bottom corner of the screen when your partner dismounts Chibiterasu, showing the sidekicks life. The bottom left displays another life gauge for the wolf cub and a third set of icons showing how much ink you have left to use with the celestial brush. Advertisement As with Okami, the ability to use celestial brush strokes to interact with the gaming world is a big part of Okamiden. A player can tap either of the DS' shoulder buttons to turn the brush on or off.The bottom, touch screen, is used to show a full screen map and four arrows which can be used to change the viewpoint of the camera. There's also a menu button you can tap. Advertisement Sponsored While brush strokes can be used to attack enemies, mend broken bridges, slice rocks or cause trees to bloom, the game also features plenty of button pressing. Buttons are used to mount and dismount Chibiterasu, to jump, to investigate items and to attack. During battles you can also use a button to dodge attacks.My time with the game involved quite a bit of exploration, running around with Kuni on Chibiterasu's back. Occasionally, I did have to kick Kuni off of the wolf cub's back, guiding him across weak bridges or around obstacles by drawing a line on the screen with my stylus to show where he should go. In practice, this mechanic feels a lot like Link's ability to guide an armored Phantom along a stylus-drawn line in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, but that's where any similarity between the two games begins and ends. I was often tapping the shoulder buttons while playing Okamiden to use my celestial brush.When you tap the button, the world changes to look like it's something drawn on parchment paper, and you can doodle on the screen with your stylus. Swiping the stylus across a line of rocks and then tapping the shoulder buttons again will cut the stones in half where you drew. Drawing circles around some Cherry Blossom trees causes them to bloom. Drawing in the missing pieces of a dilapidated bridge, repairs the bridge.Later, I found myself in a cave facing an ancient and damaged painting, with the help of my brush I was able to complete the painting and unlock a secret room. Advertisement There were also enemies who, once stunned, had to be finished off with swipes of the brush.This hopping between worlds, a major game mechanic in Okami, feels much more natural when played on a device you hold in your hand like a book. It also helps that the brush you use is the pencil-like stylus. The end result is a much more natural experience than was found with the original PS2 title or the Wii port of that game. Advertisement And Okamiden isn't just about exploring this interesting painting game mechnics, it also, I am told, features a robust plot written by Yukinori Kitajima, who also wrote the story for Japanese game Shibuya 428.While I wasn't really able to see any of the game's plot, Okamiden producer Motohide Eshiro says that it's "really good." Advertisement "He has crafted a really good, heart-warming tale for us about family ties and friendships," Eshiro said.Okamiden is due out later this year in Japan and everywhere else next year.Reply131 repliesLeave a reply

My friend recently rang me in a massive panic. The girl of his (current) dreams had asked him if he would cook her dinner, and she had specified Italian food. I guess he thought he could get away with buying some ready made stuff and putting it on plates, but NO - she wanted to come round EARLY and "spend time together". He suddenly realised he would have to make good on his claims. I handed him the following recipies and apparently they went down extremely well. So here is my Italian (style) meal, for the "challenged" cook. As an aside, this is vegetarian... no chance of causing offense that way!
Twelve hours to go
You can actually prepare this up to a day in advance, but it does need to sit in the fridge for at least twelve hours. This is best served as a starter, but can be served as a main with other "small" dishes for a tapas style meal.
You need:
To prepare:
Six hours to go
This is a great dessert. While you can make this as little as an hour beforehand it's not a good idea to make it more than six hours before the meal as the fruit goes all squashy.
To prepare
One hour to go
Put the oven (STOVE if you are American) on and make it HOT. It will take a while to warm up. If you are a student, and lack an oven, a grill will do nicely. Use your common sense; an oven takes about fifteen minutes to get really hot, a grill two to six.

We set a record today — this was the earliest date that Charleston Airport has ever recorded snow:
… Unofficial earliest snowfall on record occurred at Charleston
International Airport this morning…Charleston International Airport recorded a trace of snowfall this
morning which according to National climatic data center records is
the earliest calendar date on which snow has been reported.
Previously… the earliest date on which snow was recorded was
November 25 1950… when a trace of snowfall was recorded.One note is that frozen precipitation was reported in the form of
ice pellets… commonly known as sleet… on November 5 1995… also
amounting to a trace.
I've been keeping an eye on my weather station this morning; temperatures continued to fall until about 15 minutes ago, but they appear to be rebounding a bit from 38.5 to a balmy 38.8. :P The forecast is for it to hit 50; with the way things are right now, it'll take a break in the rain very soon in order for it to happen. I did see a bit of snow mixed in with the rain as I was taking my walk downtown this morning, though I was much more concerned about not being completely blown over by the high wind gusts.
I've measured nearly an inch of precipitation today, and it won't be letting up anytime soon over the next couple days. This is just a nasty, nasty cold rain and, well, I hate it. But watching people panic over wet snow that doesn't stick to the ground is incredibly amusing…

2013 VW Beetle TDI is Back With a Frugal Vengeance: 2012 Chicago Auto Show
With the newest version of VW's iconic Beetle already on sale, Volkswagen is expanding the car's product range and appeal with a diesel powered model.
Unveiled today at the Chicago Auto Show, the Beetle TDI makes use of a familiar 2.0-liter turbocharged engine to make 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Along with that big torque number, fuel economy is high, with a 29 mpg city rating and a 39 mpg highway rating. Buyers can choose from either a six-speed manual or VW's DSG dual-clutch automatic. Three trim levels will be offered: TDI, TDI with sunroof and TDI with Sunroof, Sound and Navigation. That top-trim level gets a five-inch touch screen and a Premium audio system. With both gas and diesel versions of the coupe now available, look for a convertible version to bow at the New York Auto Show in a few months time.

The prices in my area are unleaded gas is $3.59/gallon and Diesel (winter blend right now) is $3.89/gallon (round numbers).
If we use "real world" combined city/hwy mileage from long term road tests from Car and Driver or Motor Trend, the 2.0 TDI vs. the 2.5 gas cars (I used a Jetta) has a difference of 10.2 mpg (36.3 vs 26.1). The cost per mile on the TDI is $.1072 and the gas is $.1375. The difference in price between these cars with similar options is $2700. Assuming the same price gap in fuel is maintained, the TDI payback time is approximately 89,000 miles. More than likely that difference will be less and does not include deductions for gasoline maintenance such as tune-ups. Gasoline in my area is subject to a greater fluctuation and often spikes above Diesel, so this is strictly a rough estimate. Personally I feel the TDI is worth it, but to each his own. |
| |
In the Kansas City area, I've seen diesel as much as 90 cents above regular unleaded; only a few, very brief occasions has it gotten as close as 15 cents more than gasoline. It has not been the same or less than regular unleaded since the switch in 2006 to ultra-low sulfur diesel.
One cannot compare the TDI against only VW gassers. VW gassers generally get lower mpg than the competition. There are quite a few gas cars that get close to (or more than) 35 mpg Highway. Now crank those numbers with a 4mpg difference and diesel fuel averaging 50-60 cents per gallon more than gas. Don't get me wrong. I've been a diesel car owner going back to the early '80s but that streak, sadly, is about to come to an end. |
Agreed, there are other gas cars out there and other Diesel cars too. But as this is a more VW oriented forum, I felt the need to compare like brands. I have friends who drive a Civic and a Rio, and the mileage on my '06 TDI Beetle is consistently 8-12 higher than theirs. Couple this with that fact that I feel my VW has better fit/finish/comfort, and the mileage increase is a bonus. Even if it was a push, I'd still be happier with a VW. Now whether or not that ends up being a TDI remains to be seen.
Although there are times when diesel is higher because it doesn't fluctuate as wildly as gasoline prices. A few months ago gas was about five cents cheaper. |
My real world MPG is 51
I commute about 95 miles daily (half city, half highway) and am averaging around 47 MPG in my 2006 Beetle TDI manual. My average over 105K miles is 42.4; My last fill-up was 50.1 Dweezil DZL BTL (VW Beetle) | Fuelly |
I was expecting better mileage from the new Beetle. I now might be looking for an earlier TDI.
VW Only Since 2002!: 2002 NB Turbo S - Platinum Gray 2003 NB TDI - Galactic Blue 2005 NBC 1.8T- Tornado Red 2006 Passat 2.0T- Blue Graphite 2003 NB Turbo S - UniRed 2005 V6 Touareg V6 - Campanella White 2002 NB GLX 1.8T - White Paint Currently: 2013 Beetle TDI - Reflex Silver/black roof |
My math goes against diesel as well. A 2.5 gasser gets 29-30 mpg. A TDI Beetle will probably get 40. But.....the TDI will probably cost about $5000 more plus be more expensive to maintain. Diesel fuel costs are very volatile where I live, Wisconsin. Sometimes, it's only 20-25 cents higher per gallon and at other times, it's about 80-90 cents higher. So.....if you split the difference and say that diesel is about 50 cents higher on average, here's what I come up with:
Person A has a 2.5 Beetle that cost $23,000 after the dust settles. Person B has a TDI that cost $28,000. Each person drives 15,000 miles a year. Gas is $3.84. Diesel? $4.34. In one year: Person A will use 500 gallons of gas for a cost of $1920. Person B will use 375 gallons of diesel for $ 1627.50. Therefore, Person B is saving $292.50 a year over his/her gasser buddy, but when taking the $5000 higher sticker cost into consideration, it would take 17 years, or 255,000 miles of driving, for the fuel cost difference to offset that. Even if I'm way off with the sticker price difference, say, like 60% too high, it would still take over 10 years to make it up. |
I remember an article a while back that compared a petrol and diesel 320 BMW, it came to the conclusion that it would take 14 years to get the difference back. Tbh those mpg ratings are pathetic for a modern diesel. Where's the bluemotion versions?? |
I have a 200 NB TDI (ALH). I bought it for the mileage AND the fit and finish AND the all-important torque. The torque gives me fun at normal in-town speeds AND on the highway. I had an 82 Dodge Colt that was rated at 51 mpg...Fun on the flats. But when I hit a hill it was like I threw a boat anchor out the window. My TDI EATS hills and can't seem to get enough of them and when driven nicely in its current state of tune, will return 53 mpg on the highway. It doesn't feel like a sewing machine motor as is often the case with high mpg gassers.
2001 NB GLS 1.8T APR STG3 ...rocks & rolls |
My TDI 2013 Beetle lists for $24,185 with a six speed manual. Guess what? That's less then the six speed manual turbo 2.0. I can send you a copy of the window sticker if you don't believe me. Factor that number into your cost calculations. A shame the dealer gave me the run around as to the delivery date. I would buy it in a second if I could have it in time for the Indianapolis trip.

Since I was working in a real office for the week, I was able to go out for lunch, which I typically never do at home. I headed to Wasabi Bay with the girls.
The lunch deals here are crazy and cheap. The small plates all come with miso soup or salad. Here are the pork gyoza, which also had a little side salad. The spider roll. The rolls are a little smaller than the regular ones, but the prices are even teenier!Here's the chicken karaage skewer. This was topped on some side salad too. I really liked the surprise greens and the slightly spicy dressing that came on it.
This agedashi tofu was good and huge. And it all ended up being like $6 a person. Seriously. They're practically giving this food away, because it really would cost you more in raw ingredients if you wanted to make this on your own. If I worked in my proper corporate office, I could do this every day.

Worldwide Healthcare to get shot in the arm
By Tanzeel Akhtar | Thu, 15th August 2013 - 12:19
Alan Brierley, director at broker Canaccord Genuity, says he expects the £522 million specialist Worldwide Healthcare Trust to be one of the trust sector's big beneficiaries following the introduction of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR).
Post RDR, sentiment towards the investment trust sector has been positive, and many expect demand for specialist trusts to increase. The changes to financial regulations have meant the end of commission payments to advisers, "levelling the playing field" for open-ended funds and trusts.
Brierley rates the trust as a 'buy' and expects it will outperform its peer group in terms of shareholder total return over the next 12 months.
Worldwide Healthcare, managed by Samuel Isaly and Sven Borho, invests in the global healthcare sector, holding shares in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
The managers expect the sector to continue to outperform broader markets over the long term, with their bullishness for the biotechnology sector "perhaps at an all-time high".
The trust currently holds 10% in emerging market countries directly and another 10% of indirect exposure to the sector through global players such as GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Worldwide Healthcare also holds 64% in North America and 16% in Europe.
Isaly explains why getting a "foothold" in Asia is important for the trust in: Worldwide Healthcare Trust expects to gain from China exposure.
Brierley says: "Despite strong absolute and relative returns, there is little evidence of the excessive valuations typically associated with investment cycle peaks. Given strong earnings growth, valuations remain attractive in a historical context, notably in the biotech sector."
He adds: "We find the depth of resource impressive and as the evolution of the biotech industry gathers momentum, this gives Worldwide Healthcare a genuine competitive advantage."
Net asset value for the trust rose 2.1% on a total return basis in the three months to end of June. This compares with a 2.8% rise in its benchmark, the MSCI World Healthcare Index in sterling terms.
Over one year the trust returned 38.8% compared with 33.7% in the IT Biotechnology and Healthcare sector as at 14 August.

text: Ferrari Will Let The Internet Name Its New F1 CarTravis Okulski12/20/13 10:00amFiled to: F1MotorsportsFerrari1544EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkIn what could have been the greatest opportunity for internet trolls ever, Ferrari is going to let fans choose the name of its new F1 car. Unfortunately I have a feeling it won't be the 2014 Ferrari Booger Sex F1 3000 King Ranch Edition. Damn it.AdvertisementIn an unprecedented move, Ferrari is going to put name choices out to fans on social media and let their votes pick the name of the car. They won't be letting us morons vote on names of our own choosing, because that would be hilarious anarchy.Expect choices like F146, F2014, 246F1, and the ilk. Don't expect things like F-250, GT40, Schumi Sucks, or LeFerrariLaF1LaCar.AdvertisementOh well, one can dream.(Hat tip AndyCiarniello!)Reply154 repliesLeave a reply

Manchester United defender Phil Jones hopes to face former club Blackburn Rovers tomorrow.
If Jones is fit, it would be the first time he has faced his old club following a £17million summer move to Old Trafford, having been part of the Blackburn side beaten 7-1 in the corresponding fixture last term.
"As soon as we come off the pitch I always look to see how Blackburn have got on. I am sure things will improve.
"Unfortunately they are at the bottom of the table now. But they are a lot better than their league position shows.
"We won't find it easy.
"I know what sort of squad Blackburn have and there are some cracking players there. We can't take them lightly.""I'm still a massive fan and have a lot of friends at the club," Jones told United Review.

Tenth track for the album.
This one is a remake of Radiance, one of the first tracks I uploaded on NG. Now beefed up quite severely for Legion (the album), it features some structural changes, it's been shortened down quite alot since the original was well over 6 minutes. Threw in a little bit of Testament thrash metal in the mix just for good measure.
Also, Einstein is metal now. This is not open for debate.
EDIT: Minor fix, the envelopes for the guitars were not loaded for the render, so its fixed now. Should be a much tighter and more defined sound from the guitars now. Delete your browsercache and refresh the page if you've listened to the track recently here on NG. Or download it to get the new version.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This is nice...
The only thing I would say, is boost the mids, the guitar is very thin sounding, but for VSTi guitars, it's very good.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
long enough summary
u say u use vsti plugins so are u playing the guitars or is everything gidital either way its awesome dont get me wrong.
its all digital, simply put, midi sequencing. alot more detail to make this level of realism is required, among the many things, humanization (variation in rythmic accuracy aswell as velocities of each guitarstrum, drum hit, etc), which can be hard work at times.
thanks for the review, sir.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
In Love!
I can now die happy! This totally made my day! I love how you "Metalized" it. The original was good, but this makes it OVER 9,000 times better! You sir, have talent!

Improve existing basic wordpress site website
This project received 36 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $224 AUD.
Get free quotes for a project like thisProject Budget
$30 - $250 AUDTotal Bids
36Project Description
I currently have a very basic online store website developed through wordpress that has been put together by a friend who only has minimal time to work on it.
It is very basic with the bare minimum of information; I want a great looking home page and appropriate associated pages. The logo on the home page is not what I want; I have put together a basic picture for my company logo that I would like made to look great!
I think the shopping cart also needs a little work; can a computerised sales receipt be generated automatically with each sale to be printed and sent to the customer?
So basically I need a simple wordpress theme with a main column and a side bar, a simple custom designed banner/graphics, based on the theme/design I have in mind (I have a basic picture/design printed out that I can send as required to go from there).
The theme needs to incorporate neatly with Wordpress simple PayPal cart, and have easy formatting when adding new products in a list (i.e. same spacing when there is a button on the line or not).
I also want to have my site appear high up the list on Google and other search engines.
Most of the work is already done, I just need a professional to go through and tweak it up to a great looking website!

Without preventative action, you will be eating it.
We are now very vulnerable to GM crops being grown here and to more GM foods being imported.
With TTIP (the US/EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership 'free trade' agreement) US Agribusiness expects to get its GM products (animal feed, human food and crops) into the EU market.
US/EU 'regulatory harmonisation' is the core of TTIP. In the US, it is estimated that 70% of supermarket processed foods contain GM.
EU citizens' resistance to GM food is considered to be a 'non-tariff barrier' to trade, which TTIP is intended to overcome, although, as with much in TTIP, this is being concealed in EU regulatory change in preparation for the transatlantic agreement.
The pro-GM UK government is the main promoter of TTIP in the EU, and is keen to open the UK to GM.
With international corporate pressure 'legitimised' via TTIP, EU regulations changing and a very pro-GM government, we are vulnerable.
'Co-existence' of crops
The claimed possibility of 'co-existence' of GM crops with conventional crops and organic farming is a myth. Cross contamination is unavoidable.
Scotland and Wales wish to be GM free. As an island country we can potentially minimise cross contamination from any GM crops grown on continental Europe.
GM crops and chemicals used on them are potentially detrimental to wildlife, essential to food crop production and natural pest control.
GM chemical use, with GM crops, is resulting in the growth of 'super weeds' that require ever more chemicals to be applied.
Corporate power
Monsanto, along with BASF, Bayer, Dow Chemical Company, Dupont, and Syngenta are the big Biotech Corporations, dominating the agricultural input market – ie the world's seed, pesticide and biotechnology industries.
In the US, Monsanto has successfully kept regulation low by donating to politicians and promoting the appointment of people who work for them to positions within the US Government (the 'regulatory revolving door').
As well as food and animal feed, a large part of the North and South America GM crop is for biofuel, and 'Bt cotton', genetically transformed to produce insecticidal toxins, is grown in America, India and elsewhere.
What is changing?
Recent EU law changes, promoted by pro GM UK Governments and pro GM UK MEPs and MPs (lobbying by vested-interest Agribusiness is a major factor), are facilitating GM entry into the EU and the UK.
In the late 1990s/early 2000's UK activists, donning white protective suits and removing GM plantings every time they were attempted, led the EU in GM resistance. The result was a de facto EU ban on GM because people in the EU did not want it. The strong UK public opposition was proven.
But in 2003, the US, Canada and Argentina made a formal complaint about the ban to the World Trade Organisation. In 2006 a WTO panel judged the EU ban to be 'trade-restrictive' and a breach of the EU's trade liberalisation commitments. The EU did not utilise the WTO appeal mechanism.
Since then, there has had to be product-by-product assessment of GM crop and GM food entry into the EU.
Faced with the contradiction between the WTO ruling and EU public opinion, the EU bureaucracy and politicians have delayed applications.
Now, the corporations and advocates of GM are pushing for the speeding up of the existing assessment mechanism, against the backdrop of a predefined TTIP aim of 'regulatory harmonisation'.
With the TTIP 'harmonisation' element, the EU's precautionary principle is coming under lot of pressure in how GM products are assessed.
In a further development, the European Parliament recently (January 2015) approved an EU Directive allowing individual member states to refuse a GM crop, after it has been accepted for entry into the EU generally. Resistance at the EU level of entry will be weaker if member states can subsequently refuse a crop coming into their country.
What now?
In the UK, we currently have a pro-GM government that is the main promoter in the EU of TTIP, and is keen to open the UK to GM. We also have a general election.
This means that we, in the UK, are now very vulnerable to having GM crops grown here and GM foods coming in – unless we make it very clear that we do not want them, and that we will not accept a government that is facilitating them being brought into the UK.
Please ask your Parliamentary candidates where they stand on GM. We need public debate that includes transparency about lobbying.

Leaflet produced by StopTTIP uk StopTTIP.net
* We currently have very little GM crop cultivation within Europe. There are some small scale field trials of GM crops in the UK, but none grown commercially.
* There are already around 30 million tonnes of GM animal feed (predominantly GM soya and GM maize) imported into the EU each year – to feed pigs, poultry, dairy and beef cattle, as well as farmed fish. Most UK supermarkets no longer guarantee their products are not from GM-fed animals. Food products from GM-fed animals are not labelled as such. Under TTIP, a shift to labelling products from GM-fed animals would be subject to challenge.
* In contrast to the US situation, the direct human food supply in the EU is still largely GMO free. There are a few food products for sale in the UK with GM ingredients, which should be labelled according to EU labelling regulations. (Surveys show that around 40% of takeaway meals are cooked using GM cooking oils and while caterers are required by EU regulations to tell customers this, the majority do not).
GM food okay?
Many people do not want to eat, or for their children to eat, GM food. Some people think that GM is okay if it means using fewer chemicals. However, some GM crops are genetically engineered to withstand being heavily sprayed with herbicide chemicals. Thus a lot of chemicals are applied to the GM food/animal feed crop.
While the EU has the Precautionary Principle enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty (products not allowed unless proven to be safe), the US has the so-called 'sound-science' approach (products allowed unless harm is proven). 'Proof' comes from scientific testing, but industry funding for research is a major factor, as is the 'revolving door' between industry and regulator jobs.
Science is an active knowledge system in which new discoveries are made almost every day. Scientific evidence is always incomplete and uncertain. The responsible use of scientific evidence, therefore, is to be precautionary. This is all the more important for technologies such as genetic engineering, which can neither be controlled nor be recalled. So the precautionary principle really is sound science.

The True Hero
As easily noticed as the title of the novel, one can find that Jay Gatsby is described as the protagonist in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby through his endless love towards Daisy Buchanan. Although Gatsby gains wealth and fame due to the hard work he has done in his youth, Fitzgerald depicts Gatsby as the corrupted identity of the American Dream as he lives in an extraordinarily fancy house. Fitzgerald creates Gatsby as a person who values wealth, social status, and material possession more than ones honesty and morality. On the other hand, Nick Carraway, the narrator and minor character of this novel, is claimed as the true hero of the stroy through his strong will to avoid the false image of materialism and his ability to stand strong in his morals. These characteristics lead him to live an honest and respected life which Fitzgerald uses to...

I haven't shilled for my friends too much lately, so here's something. Check out my verrrry funny friend's ad—so funny I don't know why he's wasting his time in advertising for Christ's sake. Oh wait, advertising is the one form of writing that still pays. Got it. Anyway, by watching this short ad he's in, you'll be helping him win something or other. Something to do with Cannes. Which I believe is a town in France that I'm familiar with from long ago when I actually had a life and an impressive international travel schedule. But I digress.
The real story:
It's part of a competition to win the YouTube Cannes Young Lions Awards. The goal of the ad is thus: "To drive people to the Oxfam Web site to sign a petition in time for a big UN meeting in Copenhagen (December 2009).
The work will be evaluated 50 percent on total YouTube hits and 50 percent by the judging panel. The more hits we get, the merrier."
So click away peeps.
On a Stephanie note, I think it's rather pathetic that I edited Megler's text into AP Style. And now am headed to Laura and Ben's so he can write my JDate profile for me. What. A. Life.

Firstly a big thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards the MS Trust's helpline for people with MS in the UK. We are very grateful for your support.
The last three months (December 2010 to February 2011 inclusive) have been particularly busy for our Information Team who answer the calls, emails and inquiries we receive. We suspect the increase is partly to do with the Government's proposed changes to the NHS which is a real worry for people with MS as MS services are likely to be affected. Our support line will therefore be even more vital as a first point of call for those who are stressed and do not know what to do next.
We have helped the following number of people in the last three months by answering their questions and/or providing them with information about MS related issues:
February 2011 = 933, January 2011 = 685, December 2010 = 267 (Total of 1,885 - the total for the previous three months was 1,431)
The majority of the calls we receive are from people with MS; 1,414 over the last three months. We received 266 calls from MS health professionals including nurses and therapists, and 118 from family members who are affected by MS.
The most common inquiries were about core stability and MS nurses. Our most requested information book was 'Primary progressive MS exposed', and most popular factsheet was 'cognition' (memory and thinking).
Louise's story
Louise, aged 46, is married with two children and was diagnosed with MS in 2003.
Initially Louise didn't want to know about MS. Then she started researching and found out too much – with MS, it is like asking "How long is a piece of string?" – it is just too big to comprehend. But Louise feels she has now reached a point at which she can't deny where she is, so she now wants as much information as she can get. The information and support she gets from the MS Trust helps her to make her own choices about the management and treatment of her MS. Louise says "I really appreciate the MS Trust's helpline and information service and know that it is a trusted source of information. It's my first point of call!"

Saturday, May 28, 2005
from southborough, ma: update
The first is that, in contrast to earlier plans of moving in earlyish-July, recent developments have made me want an August 1 lease, and I appear to be a couple of weeks too early for the market for that. So there isn't a lot of stuff to look at, so far as I can tell.
The second is that I have a great deal of uncertainty about how much I want to be spending on a place next year. In truth, I actually know exactly what I want to spend: the minimum necessary to find a place in which I am not going to feel miserable or overly hassled in ways that lead me to not take good advantage of the change of scenery. However, it is unclear what exactly constitutes this kind of housing much less how much I am going to have to spend for that.
The problem yesterday was that I think I had let Tales Of The Boston Housing Market intimidate me into thinking I was going to have to spend more for less than the places that I was able to look at yesterday. So I looked at places that would be absolutely dandy places to live, but they were so dandy that I started to think about how much more I would like to hang onto the extra $200-$350 that I could be spending renting one of these places.
So, ugh, it looks like likely that I am going to end up having to fly out here again in a few weeks to find a place.
All the while, you might be thinking: Did he really have to go to Boston to figure these things out? Shouldn't he have spent much more quality time on craigslist or making possible use of possible contacts in the Boston/Cambridge area? You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. If you want to say you told me so, feel free to use the comments field, e-mail, or just shout it at me upon my return.
On the bright side, it's Day Six of my diet and so far, so good.

Doesn't Harvard have a housing agency for just such as you (in Holyoke Center)?
House-sharing is something you might consider in the Harvard Square region -- with 'mature' types and a big house, it works.
Good luck! 02138 - 5/28/05, 12:59 PM
(Southboro -- with friends?)
With a car, you can commute to Cambridge every day, but try to be close to the Square. Take the apartment (or whatever) you're most comfortable with (and the $? Rents ARE high here!). You'll want to entertain; make sure you have a good space. - 5/28/05, 1:10 PM
Apartments in Harvard area won't get cheaper as more come on the market (yearly exodus). Dandy ones disappear fast.
You'll find a place! And you'll have a marvelous year. You'll certainly give the mix here a boost. - 5/28/05, 4:14 PM

Anon 12:10pm: While it is true that I always seek to entertain, you mean, like, having people over to my apartment. We'll see if Boston changes this bumpkin that much.
... like having someone over for a drink.
anon 12:10 - 5/28/05, 9:10 PM
Have you tried Rent.com? They usually have a pretty good selection to look at.
re your 3:45 PM: posting '... if Boston changes this bumpkin....'; There's a world of difference between Boston and Cambridge. Cambridge is the place to be. (Harvard's full of bumpkins, by the way; that's a plus.)
A little extra time at the beginning and a little extra cash month-to-month (you'll be able to afford it) will be worth considerably more than its face value to your psychological well-being in the long-run. You'll have a better time in Boston if you put a little effort in now to find a nice place.
(Do folks really think Harvard is in Boston? Oh my! BU is in Boston; Northeastern, Emerson. UMass in Boston etc. etc. Harvard Med IS in Boston. and the Harvard Business School, of course -- IS across the river. MIT's in Cambridge).
Take a dandy one, Jeremy; you'll be running with the bulls in August when the rush begins. All those schools... all those students and visiting scholars converging. - 5/30/05, 10:12 AM
OK, I didn't tell you, so I can't say "I told you so" but UGH! You should have asked me! Not only did I used to live there (I thought you knew this) but I have contacts in the Cambridge/Somersville area who would LOVE to help you (remember my "friend" you met at ASA??)! Anyway, I haven't been in the market there in a while but my advice is to find something NOW. There are some really awful rental places up there and you know you aren't going to spend that extra money on anything productive so invest in a lovely rental home and be done with it!! (especially if said home is in walking or T distance cause you do not really want to take a car up there ... so get rid of the car and put that extra money into your home). OK, that's enough for now ... if you need further flagellation when you get back, call me, I am happy to oblige (hey, it might even help with the weight loss project ... you know, "give us a week and we'll flog your ass off" hmm, I smell a website cooking ...
- jeremy said...
Anon 3:59pm: I should have thought to ask you, certainly, except... I have no idea who you are.
it's "Somerville". re: cars in boston, it really depends on how much you value being able to escape the city on the weekends (and how you like to do your grocery shopping). if you're going to hang around harvard square, i wouldn't bother with the car. parking's a pain, etc. if you want to explore the cape, etc., it's probably worth the extra hassle of occasional long searches for parking on the streets or the added cost of a rental parking space...

Bill Davenport:Yarn works 1993-99
In 1993 I was taught to crochet by Delfina Vannucci, who had learned from Italian nuns when she was a girl. Being left-handed, I never learned to knit very well, and crochet, with it's ability to be added onto anywhere, lent itself to the complicated sculpture I wanted to do. I originally thought of it as a new type of ultra-thick paint.

Tertiary character | |
Bongo | |
Gender | Male |
Species | Rabbit |
Planet of origin | Earth |
First appearance | "Xmas Story" (2ACV04) |
- For other uses, see Bongo (disambiguation).
Bongo is a one-eared rabbit from Matt Groening's Life in Hell. On Futurama, he appeared in Joe's Ark Pet Store as an animal being sold by the pet store clerk. In Bender's Big Score, Santa Claus' aides made toys resembling him, so is presumably somewhat famous in the Futurama universe. Along with Binky, he also has a cameo in "Simpsorama", Disputed canon where he writes on the wall, "Crossovers are hell", both in reference to the name of his comic strip and lampshading the fact that the episode is a crossover.
Additional Info[edit]
- Bongo was originally from Life in Hell, and is a major character in that universe.
- In "Zapp Dingbat", Leela wears a pair of one-eared bunny slippers.

He flash d have you checked out Marc's web templates? Might be worth a look before you go spending all that money. http://www.thelogocreator.com/web_templates.htm
yes check out the new templates! with such a database driven site you may want to check out a Content Mgmt System (CMS) like Joomla or PMachine (the first one is open source and free, the second one has a fee). you really need a database-driven site for ecommerce. So I would recommend checking into that. good luck.
Thank you for your Information. But im really convinced that Yahoo sitebuilder stinks. I going to switch hosts and use another who has a more advanced or easy interface to handle my needs. like flash files.
i viewed some of other yahoo hosted sites i noticed they have flash in them. why is it when i call them they say sitebuilder doesnt support flash. Unreal.

Jonathan McKee - The Short Version
Jonathan McKee is the author of over twenty books including the brand new If I Had a Parenting Do Over, 52 Ways to Connect with Your Smartphone Obsessed Kid; Sex Matters; The Amazon Best Seller - The Guy's Guide to God, Girls and the Phone in Your Pocket; and youth ministry books like Ministry By Teenagers; Connect; and the 10-Minute Talks series. He has over 20 years youth ministry experience and speaks to parents and leaders worldwide, all while providing free resources for youth workers and parents on his websites, TheSource4YM.com and TheSource4Parents.com. You can follow Jonathan on his blog, getting a regular dose of youth culture and parenting help. Jonathan, his wife Lori, and their three kids live in California. Jonathan McKee - The Long VersionA lot of people ask how Jonathan's ministry equipping youth workers and parents came into existence. The answer is...by accident. In 1999, a youth worker named Jonathan McKee, father of three, started a Web site called JonathansResources.com. This site was a free resource for youth workers providing curriculum, activities, and ideas, as well as articles about youth culture, teenage attitudes, and trends. Jonathan started this site because, at the time, he found very few free youth ministry resources on the Internet. Sure, a lot of sites offered a couple of freebies and an abundance of items for sale, but no sites were dedicated to providing truly free resources with no strings attached. So Jonathan dumped the contents of his youth ministry file cabinet-all the messages, activities, and resources he'd developed over the years-into JonathansResources.com. The front page had a simple message: "Everyone in youth ministry can use some free resources-here's a bunch!" And then something happened. Youth workers and parents from all over the world began reading Jonathan's articles and using his free resources. Before long Jonathan had tens of thousands of readers every time he released a new resource. In the fall of 2001 Jonathan and his wife Lori faced a decision. Continue working with the hundreds of kids in their ministry in Sacramento, all while posting resources after hours...or go full-time helping youth workers across the globe. After praying about the decision and talking with several friends who were supporters of his existing local ministry, they decided to go full-time equipping youth workers and parents. In July of 2002, Jonathan gathered a board of directors and started the nonprofit organization, The Source for Youth Ministry (www.TheSource4YM.com on the Web). Before long they were averaging more than 100,000 unique visitors each month. In the years to follow, Jonathan became devoted full time to speaking, training, and providing free resources for youth workers, using his speaking and training income to help fund the ministry. In those years Jonathan also had a dozen books published, including The Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide for Teenagers, Candid Confessions of an Imperfect Parent, and the very popular book about mentoring teenagers, Connect: Real Relationships in a World of Isolation, and two award-winning titles, Do They Run When They See You Coming? and Getting Students to Show Up. As The Source for Youth Ministry grew and developed, another interesting development occurred-the site was attracting more and more parents. Since www.TheSource4YM.com offered free discussion guides based on movies and music, free movie reviews, free weekly articles about youth culture, media, and research about teenage attitudes and trends, youth workers began sharing the site's contents-especially Youth Culture Window articles -with parents. Then parents began subscribing to Jonathan's Blog . Before long, Jonathan found himself doing as many parent seminars as youth ministry training workshops That's when Jonathan decided to expand. The Source for Youth Ministry purchased www.TheSource4Parents.com and began developing a free resource web site specifically for parents. This site would mirror www.TheSource4YM.com in some areas (movie reviews, Youth Culture Window articles, Jonathan's Blog) but also provide some resources unique to parents. Jonathan enlisted the help of Christian authors such as Jim Burns , Al Menconi and Wayne Rice to bring articles with one focus-"Parenting Help." In addition, Jonathan's team of writers began revamping some of the popular MOVIE CLIP DISCUSSIONS and MUSIC DISCUSSIONS from www.TheSource4YM.com, customizing them for parents to use with their teens and tweens. The new parenting site also offers a question-and-answer page called ASK THE SOURCE where real parents provide real answers to real questions. www.TheSource4Parents.com is now building momentum, helping one parent at a time with a regular dose of helpful parenting videos on their YouTube page, and a Facebook page where parents can interact. We can't wait to see what God has for this ministry next! Jonathan's Wife and Kids My wife Lori and I were married in February of 1991. Each year since has grown better and better. We met in the college group of the church we were attending at the time. After our first date we spent 2 solid days together. On the third day I told her that I was going to marry her She broke up with me! Thank God she eventually took me back. We spent every moment together, running together, doing ministry together; we quickly grew to become best friends. That's one of the things I like best about Lori ...she's not just the beautiful woman I married, she's my buddy! Our marriage is a bond between three of us: me, Lori and God. We depend on Him daily. We share our struggles with each other and bring them to God. We both depend on Him to help us through the rough times. As much as we love each other, I don't know how we could do it without Him. God gave us three wonderful kids: Alec, Alyssa and Ashley. Alec is now off at Vanguard University in Southern California, Alyssa and Ashley are both in high school. You can hear plenty more about them in my blog and in my book, Candid Confessions of an Imperfect Parent. |

It is headquartered in Monterrey.[1] It operates feeder services to AeroMéxico's hub airports, using 4 digit flight numbers. It is considered the biggest and most important regional airline in Mexico, offering more than 300 scheduled flights daily to 42 destinations in Mexico, 10 in the United States and 3 in Central America. Its main bases are Mexico City Airport, Culiacán, Monterrey, and Guadalajara. Other airports with many Aeromexico Connect flights are Hermosillo and Tijuana. The airline offers point-to-point services between other destinations in Mexico and as well to Los Angeles International Airport in the United States.
Aeromexico Connect flights are marketed as Aeromexico.

1988 to early 1990s[edit]
The airline was established in 1988 as Servicios Aéreos Litoral, to later become a subsidiary of Aeroméxico on December 1, 1990.[2] It started with a fleet of 4 NAMC YS-11 aircraft in 1988 (XA-ROL, XA-ROV, XA-RPU and XA-RRG) and was originally based in Veracruz. In February 1992, AeroMéxico started another regional feeder airline, Aerovías de Poniente, S.A. de C.V. based in Guadalajara using Fairchild Metros. The fleet was replaced and expanded quite fast between 1991 and 1995 and grew to a total of 29 Fairchild Metro III and Fairchild Metro 23 aircraft between the two feeders.
In 1991, the main base was moved to Monterrey and in 1992, Aeroponiente started operations from Guadalajara. The pilot seniority list was merged, and a common paint scheme was adopted using the Aeroméxico logo. Since 1992 Aerolitoral has been the only source of pilots for Aeroméxico with more than 400 pilots transferred until today. In 1993, a small base was opened in Culiacán and after 3 months was moved to Chihuahua. By 1995, the commuter airline had 3 bases with 29 airplanes.
The route network expanded all across the north of Mexico, and some routes to the United States were operated for a brief period, such as: Harlingen, McAllen, Corpus Christi, and Austin in Texas as well as to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The main US routes operated in this period were San Antonio; Tucson; El Paso; and Phoenix.
In 1996, the two airlines were merged into AeroLitoral S.A de C.V., causing some labor problems to continue during 1997, and a pilot strike in the same year. There was a high demand for a bigger airplane in the route network and the Fairchild Metro 19 seater was not enough. After a long selection, Saab 340B's were introduced in late 1997. In 1998 new services to the United States were added from Piedras Negras. and from Chihuahua to Dallas.
In early 1999, AeroLitoral was operating 29 Fairchild Metros and 6 Saab 340Bs. One Fairchild Metro XA-RYY had been converted to freighter and operations to Mexico City were resumed on behalf of Aeromexpress. In August 1999 a new CEO was appointed and Raúl Sáenz Campos replaced Carlos Treviño Treviño after a long time being at the airline. On December of the same year, the directive board decided to start a fleet renewal process, by replacing the first 3 Fairchild Metros .
Early 2000s[edit]
In the period between the years 2000 and 2002, 13 more Saab 340Bs were added to replace Metros, with a peak fleet of 22 Saab 340B's. On the third quarter of 2001, services to San Diego via Mexicali, to Zacatecas via Puerto Vallarta, and Monterrey were launched. Nevertheless, these services were discontinued shortly after 9/11 Attacks. On September 6, 2001, there was an accident without any fatalities, it was a Saab 340B's with registration XA-ACK which crash-landed 15 miles southeast of Tijuana. The airplane suffered fuel starvation, due to a false indication in the flight deck fuel gauges, caused by a defective element on the system, reflecting more fuel than the aircraft actually had.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, AeroLitoral experienced a drop in air traffic and downsized the fleet in order to survive. Services to San Diego, El Paso, and Laredo were cancelled. San Antonio, Phoenix, and Tucson were reduced, moreover with the growth of Aviacsa on the domestic market with its Boeing 737-200 fleet invading the most profitable routes from Monterrey to León, Ciudad Juárez, Culiacán, and Guadalajara. The small commuter experienced severe financial troubles, and in 2002, many employees were laid off, among them 50 pilots. In 2002, services to Los Angeles and Ontario, California were introduced on behalf of Aeroméxico, while services to Phoenix and Laredo were cancelled.
In early 2003, with a fleet of 3 Fairchild Metro and 22 Saab 340Bs, the load factors were recovering as with many other airlines around the globe. That same year, AeroLitoral announced the acquisition of the first 5 Embraer ERJ 145, with deliveries starting in mid-2004. In December 2003, after operating a peak fleet for 13 years with 28 planes, the last 3 Fairchild Metro were retired. Early the next year, the first 3 ERJ-145's arrived from Brazil to Monterrey and started to replace the Saabs on the routes from Monterrey lasting over 1 hour 50 minutes. The first flights were mainly to Chihuahua, Guadalajara, and Ciudad Juárez, and two of the same aircraft were added later that year. In this same year, a wet lease contract from was signed between Aerocaribe and AeroLitoral. The agreement stated that AeroLitoral would provide service in the routes on the South East of the country on behalf of Aerocaribe. The contract covered the wet lease of 3 Saab 340Bs operating the routes to Mérida, Tuxla Gutierrez, and the shuttle between Cancún and Cozumel. The agreement lasted a year and ended in late May 2005.
Mid 2000s[edit]
In 2005, the first scheduled services in and out of Mexico City on behalf of Aeroméxico were introduced to Ciudad Obregón and Los Mochis, using ERJ-145 aircraft. During this year, 5 more ERJ-145s were introduced to the fleet, introducing new routes to Central Mexico and the Southeast of the country, as well as increasing the size of the fleet to 10 aircraft.
In 2006, AeroLitoral took over services from Mexico City to Campeche and Durango, previously operated by Aeromar on behalf of Aeroméxico, and resumed operations to Reynosa, Oaxaca, and other Aeroméxico non-revenue city pairs. By the end of 2006, an ERJ crew base in Mexico City was established, 13 more ERJs were introduced to the fleet, most of them in addition, bringing the number of 23 by the end of the year.
2007: this year, AeroLitoral returned to Austin on behalf of Aeroméxico from Mexico City, reopened the hub in Guadalajara with ERJ's, fleet which grew to 32 frames. In November 2007, Aeroméxico announced that AeroLitoral was going to become Aeroméxico Connect once the E-190's arrived, and so did. The airline changed its corporate name, image, and introduced a new philosophy of complementing Aeroméxico on some domestic and international flights, instead of only feeding the airline's hubs. The first 4 brand new Embraer ERJ 190 arrived in October 2007 and early 2008, and the airline already announced an order for 12 more frames that will start arriving in early 2009. On November, SkyTeam painted Aeroméxico Connect's E-145 in SkyTeam livery.
Aeroméxico Connect has grown through the past few years on the Mexican domestic market. It has come from being a feeder airline to a key on Aeroméxico's strategy to remain in the industry. As new aircraft have been added since 2004, Aeroméxico has been shifting many of its domestic and short-haul international routes to Aeroméxico Connect. The intended plan of the holding consortium of the two airlines is to keep developing Aeroméxico Connect on those markets where mainline Aeroméxico would not profit, moreover after the addition of the Embraer E-190 that is capable of operating on some longer routes that were formerly served by mainline Aeroméxico with DC-9 or McDonnell Douglas MD-87 aircraft. Also of interest is the airline´s choice to replace some Embraer 145 fleet with newer Embraer 190 and Embraer 170 jets, currently under manufacture for Aeroméxico. Three new Embraer 170s arrived in the summer of 2012. The will announced the replacement to ERJ 145 later. The airline serves international destinations in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and The United States, while offering serving regional routes throughout Mexico.
As of February 2017, Aeroméxico Connect operates the following aircraft:[3]
Airplane | In service | Future | Oprions | Passengers | Routes | ||
C | Y | Total | |||||
Embraer ERJ-145 |
0 | 50 | 50 | Short/medium haul Mexico, Central and North America |

Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On 6 September 2001 at 12:35 local time, an Aerolitoral Saab 340 (registered XA-ACK) encountered a failure of its second engine, forcing the pilots to perform an emergency landing on a field in Valle de Las Palmas. The aircraft had been operating Flight 2130 from Ciudad Juárez to Tijuana with 29 passengers and three crew members on board, none of which were seriously injured, even though the airplane was damaged beyond repair.[4]
- On 21 January 2010 at 12:24 local time, Aeroméxico Connect Flight 2051 from Hermosillo to Los Angeles veered off the runway upon diverting at General Abelardo L.

Court rejects extradition to Spain in Jesuit murder case
There are reports in the Salvadoran press that El Salvador's Supreme Court will refuse to extradite former military officers to Spain in connection with the 1989 Jesuit murders. At the moment the court's written ruling does not yet appear to be available, so there is some speculation about the reasoning of the Court. A La Prensa Grafica report today indicated that the Court would not allow extradition of Colonel Guillermo Benavides because he had already been tried and sentenced to 30 years in prison in 1992. Benavides was subsequently released after publication of the UN Truth Commission report which criticized the faulty trial which suppressed evidence of the responsibility of more senior officers. There is a suggestion that Benavides might have to finish the rest of his sentence.
In a story in ContraPunto, human rights lawyer Benjamin Cuellar pointed to the recent overturning of El Salvador's amnesty law by the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court. According to Cuellar, some judges cynically opposed extradition so the accused can continue manipulating the weak judicial system in El Salvador, while other judges opposed extradition because they optimistically believe that El Salvador's judicial processes should now be allowed to work.

Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States with more than 46 million Americans having doctor-diagnosed arthritis.(1) Local injections of corticosteroids and anesthetic agents are heavily relied on as early, effective interventions for pain relief. The current standard of practice depends on the expertise of the clinician and the accuracy with which the medications are injected into the affected joint space. According to a recent study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, injection accuracy rates are significantly higher when imaging is used in conjunction with injection of the knee and shoulder.
"Minimally invasive and cost-effective injections can delay and in some cases eliminate the need for surgical intervention," said John S. Reach, Jr., M.Sc., M.D., director of the Yale Foot and Ankle Section and assistant professor in the department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn. "Recent studies have demonstrated greater accuracy with improved function and decreased pain in patients receiving ultrasound-guided injections. The Navigator DS automatically prepares the medication dose, guides accurate needle positioning prior to drug delivery, and simplifies record-keeping--allowing me to spend more quality time with each patient."
The Navigator DS is a comprehensive drug delivery system for convenient operation by a single clinician. The Navigator DS prepares and delivers physician-prescribed injections from standard multi-dose anesthetic and steroid drug vials, eliminating needle exposures to healthcare workers and minimizing the potential for contamination of the medication. Additionally, the automated system helps to ensure accurate dose preparation and saves significant labor for a busy physician practice. The ultrasound screen provides the physician with real-time visualization of the needle position, fluid delivery process and prescription volume. After the injection is delivered, the system records the treatment data and automatically creates a record for transfer to an electronic record management system.
"The Navigator DS has the potential to change the standard of care for injection procedures," said Charles E. Garten II, M.D., director of Primary Care Sports Medicine at Myers Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center in Atlanta. "The Navigator DS simplifies the set-up of multi-drug injections, while the integration with ultrasound imaging provides me with real-time feedback regarding the accuracy of the needle placement. Automating the manual steps of procedures will ultimately help improve patient care, increase efficiency and maximize patient throughput in the sports medicine clinic."
