Chou's research named top nanotech breakthrough by Forbes
Posted December 18, 2002; 10:43 a.m.
Research conducted by Princeton's Stephen Chou , which could greatly reduce the size and cost of computer chips, has been named the top nanotechnology breakthrough of 2002 by the Forbes/Wolfe Nanotech Report.
The report, a joint publication of Forbes magazine and venture capital firm Lux Capital, cited Chou's work for eliminating "the costly and time-consuming step of etching, or photolithography, the conventional way to make silicon transistors used in today's electronics."
Chou, the Joseph Elgin Professor of Engineering, invented a production method called Laser-Assisted Direct Imprint , which could allow electronics manufacturers to increase the density of transistors on silicon chips by 100-fold while dramatically streamlining the production process. Packing more transistors onto chips is the key to making more powerful computer processors and memory chips.
Researchers in Chou's laboratory used the new technique to make patterns with features measuring 10 nanometers -- 10 millionths of millimeter. The method involves pressing a mold against a piece of silicon and applying a laser pulse for just 20 billionths of a second. The surface of the silicon briefly melts and resolidifies around the mold.
Chou's method eliminates the etching process, which typically takes 10 or 20 minutes to make a single chip. The imprint method accomplishes it in a quarter of a millionth of a second.
The Forbes/Wolfe Nanotech Report, a monthly publication on investment trends in nanotechnology, determined the top breakthroughs of 2002 by interviewing more than 30 of the world's leading experts in nanotechnology.

Eagles' defense clicking — just in time for Donovan McNabb
Posted on 1 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
PHILADELPHIA — Andy Reid began Donovan McNabb Week with appropriate and well-timed praise of the guys who'll be in charge of stopping him next Sunday. The Eagles coach took particular care on Monday to point out a job well done by a defensive unit that came into Week 3's 28-3 win over Jacksonville having given up the most points in the league. By the end of Sunday, the Eagles had the ...

ya, the IM2 set looked really awesome, but I couldn't get over the MK VI's pink knees. Bad paint job. The single carded drones will probably be a m*&%&*^%$ to find
never saw the mando/speeder set. Sick of seeing the others in the asst.
I got the 3 Cammie / Fixer 2-packs I ordered yesterday.
Nice presentation.
I got them to add random humans to my Tatooine dioramas.
1) Anchorhead (probably to actually represent Cammie and Fixer)
2) Mos Eisley
3) Then what do you guys think about putting them in PT-era Mos Espa?
4) Maybe I should order 1 more pack to use for more humans in my Podracer stadium audience?
I wasn't sure if I should use them as random humans in the PT era as well.
I also could use them - even as Cammie and Fixer, as refugees that gathered on Duros to evade the Yuuzhan Vong when Jedi Knights Leia and Jacen Solo defended them. (yes, mother and son. I don't recall Jaina being there at that time in the war.)
I've failed to get the Mandalorian Speeder from HTS thus far. I've seen Obi-Wan with that sidecar speederbike in the stores so I know they've had the wave in before but that one sells first. I have no desire for the sidecar speeder myself.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Apparently, the scalper shop at the Burbank mall is selling off their life-size Han in Carbonite. I was just browsing on eBay and came across it. I suppose that the "flipping" business, as I've heard scalpers refer to it, isn't doing so well these days.
Still can't believe Chubby13 and Blast From The @$$ are still in business. Who buys from them?

So when I look at my site on a mac... it looks like below.
Pc's look like htis.
I have checked multiple browsers on both systems on multiple machines. And this is the result. On a PC - Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome. All look fine. On a Mac - Safari, Firefox, Opera all look exactly the same and messed up.... Why cant everything read css the same?1 any help?
We'll need a live link to be able to help you. Different systems have slightly different renderings, but it shouldn't be hard to account for these differences. It's all about the code, though, which we need to see.
duh sorry....
Will Yancey - You can access all the code from there right? ig you have firebug or the developer mode on IE?
Sure, a link is fine. This is what I see on my Mac (attached). It's not perfect, but quite different from what you're seeing.
I suspect the Mac you were looking at had the font size bumped up a notch.
Ah yes it also does that on IE9. But all the other IE's are fine. I have the background color and div layer specified at a certain height. Don't know why all browsers cant see it the same. Never thought about the font size on the specific computer. Is there away to cancel that out or over ride it so it wont let the computer/browser change the size of the text?
No, not really, so you have to design with that in mind. I would remove that colored div behind the menu, as it's just asking for trouble. There are better ways to center a menu like that, such as this:
Centered Inline-Block List Items
And here is a discussion on the topic:http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/css-53/need-center-menu-690589.html
Well the thing is if i remove it and center it, Then the color of the menu wont stretch across the entire wrapper. I'll take a look at these and reply if i am still having issues, thanks!
I looked at this on the mac I was testing and the font sizes don't affect anything. even when i change them nothing happens to the actual web page.
My screen shot above was from my Mac. If you go to View > Zoom > Reset (Firefox) what happens? Or if you click Command - a few times?
it just zoomed out on the entire page but kept how it looks the same (messed up). Have not looked at those links you posted yet. I will in a few and see if they help.
Try this example:
Centered Inline-Blocks with Cross Browser Node Fix
That method will kill whitespace nodes in all browsers without having to use the font-size:0; method or having to tag chain the html.
It's basically an updated version of the link Ralph posted above.

TUPELO – The City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved redrawn Tupelo ward lines.
The city's next step will be updating voters on how the changes may affect them.
The new lines reflect shifts in Tupelo's population based on the 2010 Census and the results of the 16-square-mile annexation finalized in September.
The redistricting plan was designed to divide the city's population evenly between the seven wards, retain minority majorities in Wards 4 and 7 and avoid moving sitting council members out of their ward. There were some shifts in ward boundary lines, but for the most part, each ward retains the core of its constituency.
"I'm very satisfied," said Ward 4 Councilwoman Nettie Davis.
The ward and precinct lines will go to the U.S. Department of Justice for review under the federal Voting Rights Act. Because elections are less than six months away, city officials can't wait for the Justice Department's review to begin preparations.
City Clerk Kim Hanna anticipates letters will go out to annexed residents with information on address changes soon. One last road name change is anticipated for the upcoming council meeting Jan. 8. Officials have proposed changing the name of County Road 1740 in an annexed area in west Tupelo to Red Barn Road.
Registered voters living in the annexed areas will not have to register again.
"If they're registered to vote in Lee County, they are registered to vote in Tupelo, if they were annexed," Hanna said.
New voting registration cards for all Tupelo voters with updated wards and polling places will follow the address updates early next year from the Lee County Circuit Clerk's office, which maintains the voting rolls. The city clerk's office is in the process of finalizing the polling places; each ward has two precincts except for the compact Ward 2.
The deadline to register to vote in the May 7 primary is April 6, and May 4 for the June 4 general election. The deadline to qualify to run for city elected offices is March 8.

STARKVILLE – A trip to Maui didn't produce any wins for Mississippi State, but that doesn't mean it has to be a fruitless trip.
The Bulldogs (1-4) are back home tonight to host Alcorn State, and first-year coach Rick Ray is looking for his young team to take some lessons from its losses to North Carolina, Marquette and Texas at the Maui Invitational last week.
"The big thing is, are we going to learn from the experience out in Maui or not?" Ray said Monday. "Because guys got a chance to see where we measure up against guys who are going to be playing against in the SEC."
MSU had only eight players make the trip – two of them walk-ons – because of injuries and the suspension of forward Colin Borchert. Point guard Trivante Bloodman said the trip was a bonding experience .
"We played better competition and it brought us more together," he said. "We yelled at each other and motivated each other. We stayed the week together, we saw each other every day and we got a little bond."
The collective youth of this squad helps when it comes to shaking off tough situations, and there has been plenty of adversity confronting this team since before the season.
"Sometimes you have to fall to get back up," Bloodman said. "I feel like with that happening, it really might help us later on the season. Those three losses, we can get back from that."
Borchert returns
Borchert, a junior college transfer, was left at home for the Maui trip due to a violation of team rules. He'll rejoin the rotation tonight and help beef up the thinning roster.
"It gives us another opportunity to sub somebody in, and obviously he's a kid who can make shots for us," Ray said.
Borchert has averaged 5 points in two games.
Ray adds Ndoye
MSU got its fourth signee for the 2013 class last week, with 6-foot-11 center Fallou Ndoye signing. A native of Senegal, Ndoye is playing at Findlay Prep in Nevada.
He's rated a three-star prospect by 247sports.com. Ray said Ndoye was the coaching staff's No. 1 target at that position and should be a good complement to freshman Gavin Ware.
"We thought Fallou was a guy that could be really active on the offensive glass, can really run the court," Ray said, "but just gives us a guy that's just different than Gavin as far as having a long body, a guy that can transition end to end pretty well."
The other signees are Travis Daniels, Quantel Denson and I.J. Ready.

Hydroxyproline is one of four amino acids that are the main components of the protein collagen. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Collagen consists of hydroxyproline, proline, lysine, and glycine. There are around 20 different types of collagen in the body. Depending on where it is located, collagen can appear as a gel-like substance or as a tightly-packed bundle of fibers. No matter where it occurs, collagen requires hydroxyproline to support its intertwined triple helix structure. Hydroxyproline is essential for the stability of the collagen molecule. Hydroxyproline is considered a non-essential amino acid because it need not form part of a healthy diet. The body is able to synthesize hydroxyproline from other components.
Hydroxyproline is formed through hydroxylation of the amino acid proline in the gastrointestinal tract. During this process, a bonded oxygen-hydrogen molecule attaches to the carbon atom in the proline amino acid. This hydroxylation process requires the presence of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which is considered an essential vitamin because the body cannot produce it. Vitamin C must be ingested either as an oral supplement or as part of a healthy diet. Vitamin C is found in many fruit and vegetables, such as peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, kiwi fruit, and citrus fruits. Vitamin C is water soluble and cannot be stored in the body. It is, therefore, essential to consume sufficient quantities of vitamin C on a daily basis. According to the Mayo Clinic, adult men should consume at least 90mg of vitamin C each day. The recommended daily intake for women is normally 75mg, though pregnant women may require 85mg per day. Women who are breastfeeding should consume 120mg of vitamin C each day.
A lack of vitamin C in the body causes scurvy. The symptoms of scurvy include gum disease, spots, bruising, and wounds that will not heal correctly. These symptoms result from decreased hydroxylation of proline, leading to a deficiency of hydroxyproline, which makes the collagen molecule unstable. While scurvy can be fatal if left untreated, it rarely reaches such serious stages in modern times. Scurvy is easily treated simply by ingesting vitamin C.
To promote collagen production through the diet, a study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology in 2007 recommended combining foods rich in lysine (eggs, tomatoes, animal protein, dairy products, nuts, and seeds), proline (egg whites and wheatgerm), and vitamin C with green tea.
The protein collagen is a vital component of the subcutaneous matrix, the connective tissue that supports the skin. Collagen helps to heal wounds and rebuild the skin. The skin is constantly renewing itself and collagen is a vital part of the skin's natural regenerative processes. As part of the aging process, collagen breaks down. This leads to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles. Healthy levels of hydroxyproline in the body support the stability of collagen, helping skin remain firm, toned, and flexible.
Topical application of hydroxyproline can improve the condition of the skin, helping it appear more youthful. For this reason hydroxyproline is found as an ingredient in anti-aging skin creams, serums, and other skin products. Hydroxyproline can also improve the appearance of skin damaged by stretch marks. When applied topically to the skin, hydroxyproline penetrates the outer layers of the skin and supports collagen and elastin production in the subcutaneous matrix. Topically applied hydroxyproline also supports the production of epidermal keratinocytes, which are the main cells in the skin's outer layers. Hydroxyproline also hydrates the skin by boosting production of ceramides, a type of lipid molecule. Ceramides prevent the loss of moisture from skin cells.
Hydroxyproline also inhibits the production of elastase enzymes, which contribute to the aging process by breaking down vital elastin in the subcutaneous matrix.
Tablets containing a derivative of hydroxyproline, N-acetyl-L-hydroxyproline, reduce the inflammation and swelling caused by osteoarthritis.
Research is underway to determine whether compounds from the 4-cis-hydroxyproline group may be useful in the development of a skin whitening agent. The concept is that the product would inhibit the production of melanin or inhibit melanocyte differentiation. This type of skin whitening product could address pigmentation abnormalities that occur in the form of chloasma and sun spots. While clinical research indicates a possible use for hydroxyproline in skin whitening, these products are still in the very early stages of development.

thnx for rply bt if i purchase 48*24*24" = 120 us gallon tank, so is it sufficient for my 11 discus and can i keep left 3 discus as it is in current 28 gallon tank to grow them as per their natural average size instead of keeping all of them in such tiny place.
pls rply
I've grown out discus in a 75 gal (over seven inches.) The key is good water, not extra large tanks; of course, with more fish (I had 5 in each tank), you'll need a bigger tank. The issue is mostly water quality - keeping BOTH nitrates and phosphates as close to zero as possible. In reality, without 100% water changes, aiming for under 1 ppm is more realistic. Of course, as I will post today, keeping phosphates under 0.5 ppm and nitrates under 1 ppm with only very small water changes is easy - a algae scrubber.
But using a very small, in tank commercial or kit algae scrubber is rather advanced stuff that very few people could ever handle - this requires cleaning the in tank scrubber at least once a week and running/operating an air pump and a cheap light timer: I am talking super advanced technology here that even scientist with backgrounds in chemistry and aquatics rarely attempt ... . OK, maybe a few really expert aquarist in the world might, maybe can handle this level of advanced work but that will be a secret that we won't let get around ...LOL.
Sorry, Mommy1 but I really need to wax ridiculous on this issue today.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
For Fishless cycling:http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
I believe no more than 5 to a 55 gallon tank. Four would probably be best. Discus should also be in a spies only tank to avoid giving them diseases.
I remember the experiment the famed discus keeper did with water changes vs tank size and discus growth, (I remember the experiment but not the famed discus keepers name, doesn't matter). My point is, he is a famed discus keeper, not a noob who appears to know little to nothing about fish keeping in general, never mind about discus specifically. Yes, the key in the experiment was all about clean water, however there comes a time when space is also required. I'm glad your little experiment worked out so well, however, there is a huge difference in 5 discus in a 75 gallon and 15 discus in a 28 gallon and to even hint to a beginner that keeping 15 or 11, the number changed, potentially large fish in a 28 gallon is doable for any length of time if he does enough water changes and tries that insipid algae scrubber is just irresponsible.
I agree with the advice of two or three large water changes daily, selling some of the fish, and getting a much bigger tank as soon as possible. Because the water change experiment by the famed discus keeper was proven to be effective, if you keep up with several large water changes daily, the fish will grow, and very soon 11-15 discus will need much more room to thrive.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
There is a waste product from the fish that is protein based. A result of spent or synthesized protein. It is a growth inhibiter and causes stunting. This is one of the factors that causes stunting. This factor may be over come by mass water change.
There is a second response that is driven by a chemical trigger within the brain of the fish. This trigger is enacted by the result of a physical dimension which is uncomfortable to the fish. This physical discomfort caused by lack of space causes the release of this growth inhibitor. This factor requires the larger space.
The protein factor happens fairly quick. If you don't do the water changes this happens right away.
The brain factor takes time as it only starts to happen when the fish are getting tight in the space, they have to grow towards that first so you get more time.
I believe this was the result of the Discus keepers findings.
The famed discus keeper you are referring to is the pioneer, Jack Whattley (spelling), I think.Mucky
Unusually I have nothing more to add...

I was going to make some posts and/or reply to some today. But I can't and so a diary entry will have to do.
Tomorrow I will be 35, this means I have been programming for 20 years. Computing has changed so much in those 20 years (other than technological advances), and in my opinion for the worse.
Superficially computing has stayed the same. Twenty years ago, there was a kind of open source, hobbyists wrote code, printed it out and sent it into magazines. We had the big computing companies (DEC, IBM, etc.) that dominated the industry, and business bought from those and scorned the hobbyist 'toy' computer market. No change there perhaps?
However, we have lost the lively middle ground of small companies; the Sinclairs, Acorns, and Commodores of the industry. These were where the real innovation in computing was comming from. Back in 1983 you could buy for a reasonable amount of money (130 pounds), a computer with a 256x192 pixel display in 8 colours. Going to a big iron company like DEC, for far far more you'd get a slow 80x25 green screen serial (max speed 19200 k/bits) VT220 text terminal. No innovation. The small companies drove the GUIs, laser printing (Xerox which developed them never made any money out of it), the concept of the personal computer, and modern languages like BASIC in ROM. Many companies then were still using COBOL and punched cards (in the process of becoming a computing 'professional' I had to learn COBOL in 1984/85).
Does the death of these companies actually matter? Yes, of course it does. Twenty years ago, you could say there were three styles of computing where you could earn a living: the hobbyist/home computer companies, as an academic, or in business computing (read COBOL and punched cards). Today, with the collapse of the middle ground hobbyist companies, we've all become business computing employees, with the constraints, conservatism, and lack of innovation that implies. I never intended in 1982, to become a business computing employee, that side of the market filled me with revulsion.
So where has all the innovation gone? Open source of course. Whereas 20 years ago, 'open source' consisted of amateurs practising their skills and sending it into magazines, open source (confirmed by some large surveys performed a year or two ago), consists of a large number of computing professionals in full time occupations chaffing against the lack of innovation in their jobs.
This is bad of course. What makes it worse is the big companies, having pushed the middle ground companies out of business, are increasingly turning to open source for their innovation. The best companies of course use open source for their own ends (to innovate, as big companies never innovate), but give as much back to the open source community, in the ways where they are good - bug fixing, intensive useability tests and fixes.
The worst (perhaps the vast bulk?) treat open source as a reservoir of free talent, and take it (without any of its high minded principles) and never give anything back. This, in the IT downturn, has led to highly experienced people being sacked, with open source taking their place.
The biggest quesion facing open source is therefore, in my mind, how can open source sustain itself, when it's very success is being used against itself, destroying the livelihoods of the people who created it?
Increasingly, given a choice (or more likely not given a choice), I would move out of computing an a career, and stick to open source. However, having devoted 20 years to computing, and having gained an under-used PhD in it, there is very little else I want to do as a living. Catch 22.

He didn'tPete, if your God condems them, then why did he create them? Would you consider that the work of a just god? In your bible, doesn't a just god always do what is right and good toward all men?
he made ,formed and created Adam and Eave. Once mankind screwed up by eating of the tree of good and evil it opened up a can of worms. Sin became known to mankind from this day forward. The wages of sin is death . Abnormalities,,diseases,,and mans life span started to decrease. It was satin who deceived Eave. I'm not sure what she did but it wasn't good. God never meant for man to know evil,,but he gave man freedom of will to choose,,,and he knew man would fall. By the way I found a place in genesis 2 that says God originally created and made masses of people. Pretty cool,,it made the hair stand up on my neck. Could explain 12000 year old bones and artifacts. However the soul may be different than today,,,who knows... Who knows how much time passed between Genesis1:1 and 1:2 But I do know that God did not create the earth with nothing on it.

Constable painted this work for his friend and patron, Dr John Fisher, Bishop of Salisbury. The Bishop is shown in the left foreground pointing out the sunlit Cathedral to his wife, as one of their daughters, Dorothea, advances along the path towards her parents. And as C.R. Leslie noted, Constable included the Suffolk, hornless variety of cow in the grounds (Leslie (1843/45) 1951, p. 96).
Constable painted a magical work, a sylvan vista of the Cathedral, viewed from the south-west, with an arch of trees framing the spire. It ranks as one of his major paintings. He captured the light on the foliage, and conveyed the air and atmosphere of a summer morning. He wrote: 'Does not the Cathedral look beautiful amongst the Golden foliage? its silvery grey must sparkle in it' (Beckett VI, p. 78).
During a visit to Salisbury in 1811 Constable made three drawings of the Cathedral: from the south-east, from the south-west and from the east end. He used the view from the south-west as the compositional basis for his later paintings in oil. He made further drawings, and an open-air oil sketch of the Cathedral and its surroundings (National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa), while in Salisbury during July and August 1820 when he stayed with the Bishop's nephew, his friend Archdeacon John Fisher.
In 1823 Constable painted this enlarged version of the scene. It was his most important exhibit at the 1823 Royal Academy exhibition. One critic suggested that 'the landscape and cows are extremely well managed; and speak of that rich fat country ever to be found about the church'; he remarked that 'there is great merit in the picture' and compared it to the work of Hobbema (The London Magazine, June 1823, cit. Ivy 1991, p. 100). Another critic, Robert Hunt, suggested that Constable's 'Salisbury Cathedral is so pre-eminent in that "prime cheerer, light"' (The Examiner, 23 June 1823, cit. Ivy 1991, p. 101).
Constable wrote to Fisher after the Academy's opening on 9 May commenting:
My Cathedral looks very well. Indeed I got through that job uncommonly well considering how much I dreaded it. It is much approved by the Academy and moreover in Seymour St. [the Bishop's London residence] though I was at one time fearfull that it would not be a favourite there owing to a dark cloud – but we got over the difficulty … It was the most difficult subject in landscape I ever had on my easil. I have not flinched at the work, of the windows, buttresses, &c, &c, but I have as usual made my escape in the evanescence of the chiaroscuro (Beckett VI, p. 115).
But the passing storm clouds over the Cathedral spire that gave movement and contrast to the scene were never appreciated by the Bishop. In a letter to Constable of 16 October 1823, Fisher recorded the thoughts of his uncle: '[If] Constable would but leave out his black clouds! Clouds are only black when it is going to rain. In fine weather the sky is blue' (Beckett VI, p. 138). The Bishop may have thought that in presenting the Cathedral under a cloud, Constable had created an actual and a metaphorical image of the Church that reflected the changing times and the onslaught of radical ideas. As Michael Rosenthal has suggested, 'a painting of Salisbury Cathedral is more than just a portrayal of architecture' (Rosenthal 1983, p. 146).
Constable was prepared to invent or change his skies. Later in 1823 he painted a smaller, sunnier version of the subject for the Bishop as a wedding present for his daughter, Elizabeth (Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino), with 'a more serene sky' (Beckett VI, p. 125).
In July 1824 the Bishop asked Constable to repaint the sky in this work, but rather than do so he decided to paint a second version for the Bishop, a full-scale replica with a sunnier sky, and with the trees thinned out and no longer meeting in an arch above the Cathedral spire (now in The Frick Collection, New York). Constable had not finished this new version by the time of the Bishop's death on 8 May 1825, after which he sent it to the Bishop's widow; and he sent this original 1823 version to the Bishop's nephew, his friend John Fisher. As Reynolds has observed, the latter was presumably a sale as Constable repurchased the picture in 1829 when Fisher was so hard pressed for money that he had to relinquish the work he greatly admired. He had written to Constable on 1 July 1826 that:
The Cathedral looks splendidly over the chimney piece. The picture requires a room full of light. Its internal splendour comes out in all its power, the spire sails away with the thunder-clouds (ibid., p. 222).

A new "morning-after pill" is on the verge of being approved for prescription use in the United States; this one could be safely and effectively taken for five mornings after unprotected sex.
The manufacturer, the Paris-headquartered HRA Pharma, calls ulipristal acetate a "next-generation emergency contraceptive" that "prevents more pregnancies than a widely-used alternative" — Plan B, the emergency contraceptive sold over the counter to women over the age of 17 at drugstores throughout America. Plan B is known to work for up to five days — but its efficacy decreases after 72 hours. An HRA Pharma-funded study published in the medical journal The Lancet and another article in Obstetrics & Gynecology claim that ulipristal maintains its efficacy throughout the five-day period after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (i.e., a broken condom).
For sale in more than 20 European countries under the name "EllaOne" (just plain "Ella" is the proposed trademark for use in the US), ulipristal acetate works by delaying ovulation (releasing of the egg). According to a Planned Parenthood fact sheet, this chemical compound is more effective than progestin-only EC (like Plan B) at preventing "imminent ovulation" during "a woman's fertile period."
Steve Trombley, CEO of Planned Parenthood Northern New England, calls Ella "a promising development" in reproductive-health medicine, one that increases options for women and their doctors. Currently, the only other option for women at the tail-end of the five-day window is the insertion of a copper IUD into the uterus, which is rather more involved than writing and filling a prescription.
On June 17, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs voted 11-0 to recommend approval for sale in the United States. The full FDA is expected to make a decision on Ella by the end of July. While the manufacturer would have to make a separate request for over-the-counter status, observers are fairly certain that Ella will get FDA approval for prescription use.
"We are optimistic about the prospects of providing US women with a new emergency contraceptive option," says Fred Wilkinson, executive vice president of Watson Pharmaceuticals, the New Jersey-based company that will be responsible for selling and marketing Ella in the United States.
Unsurprisingly, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops voiced "grave concern" about Ella, saying that it is "more similar in effect" to the abortion drug RU-486 (which is a different chemical compound entirely — mifepristone).
"Ulipristal is a close analogue to the abortion drug RU-486, with the same biological effect," wrote Cardinal Daniel NiNardo, chairman of the USCCB's committee on pro-life actions, in a letter to the FDA opposing approval. "That is, it can disrupt an established pregnancy weeks after conception has taken place."
But these objections are merely another attempt by pro-life activists to confuse abortion and contraception: medical experts say Ella is so effective at blocking ovulation that the drug would rarely interact with a fertilized egg. And the indicated dosage is too low to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.
"People who are opposed to abortion have long been opposed to contraception," Trombley says. "We're all entitled to our own opinions in this debate; we're not entitled to our own facts."

CPJ Update
Committee to Protect Journalists
August 16, 2006
CPJ Calls for Release of Kidnapped Fox News Journalists
After gunmen ambushed a Fox News Channel crew in the center of Gaza City on August 14, and abducted correspondent Steve Centanni, a U.S. citizen, and freelance cameraman Olaf Wiig of New Zealand, CPJ called for their immediate and unconditional release in a statement carried widely in domestic and international media. Fox News reports today that negotiations for the safe release of the two journalists are underway and CPJ continues to monitor developments closely. Seven other journalists have been kidnapped in Gaza over the last year. All were released unharmed.
Your Excellency: The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by Israeli military actions that sharply restrict the ability of the press to cover the current conflict in Lebanon and that endanger the lives of civilians, including members of the press. We are particularly concerned about the safety of an estimated 250 journalists in Tyre, who are hunkered down in hotels and unable to move because of Israel's threats to target all vehicles on the roads.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Cleaning up a whole bunch of stuff on my network and in archival storage. I am having major troubles converting all of my data, sources, documents, etc. to modern formats. Some of this stuff goes back to 1984 and earlier. Naturally, I am ditching tons of stuff. I am pretty much tossing all of my some thousand or so diskettes. Some of the disks have become unreadable after a decade or more of aging. Stuff that was once dreadfully important, like sources for various commercial products are being tossed because it's not worth the effort to sort through it all. Same goes for the million or so files on hard disks.
If I come across stuff like the below that can just be cut and pasted onto the net, I'll try to do so.

I was looking at the new brand Banded looks like a nice vest its at macks prairie wings!! but might go with avery
One person's (bad) experience with a product probably should not be taken to be an all-telling representation of the product. But I'll tell you honestly, that after just six uses the stitching of the zipper on my Avery Boater's Dog Vest gave out. The pull tab on the zipper actually broke off when putting it on my lab for only the third time requiring me to improvise a makeshift pull tab using a piece of leather lace from my boot (certainly not the end of the world). I acknowledge it's entirely possible that I ended up with the one defective vest in a batch of 100 good vests. Stuff happens- I get that. But from my first hand experience, I would not recommend this vest to a friend.
Earlier this week I placed an order for a Cabela's 5mm Flotation Vest with the ArmorFlex Chest Protector. Hopefully this one will last longer than six uses.

I have two Velcro vests and they have worked well for 4 years now....
After reviews from people looks like the Banded vest may give it a try. Have seen the under armour makes a prototype vest used but cant find it for sale anywhere to know quality.

importance of supportThe changes in your diet and lifestyle after surgery need to last a lifetime. And you'll have a greater chance of long-term success if you surround yourself with people who understand and support your goals.
Things you can do:
- Attending support groups allows individuals to share their personal journey and offer insight into making lifestyle changes. Support groups are very helpful before surgery and even more so after surgery from an emotional perspective and the day to day practical benefits. It helps to know you're not alone on this new journey. Talking with others or just listening can help you deal with your reactions to this new lifestyle and how to deal with perceptions of other people.
- Motivation is an extremely important and provides positive reinforcement to reach your own personal goals. With encouragement from other individuals undergoing the same lifestyle changes, you can gain knowledge and insight into how to reach your goals. You can even motivate someone else along the way.
- Help your friends and family members understand why you've chosen a surgical solution. Many people are under the impression that weight loss surgery is an experimental treatment rather than one with more than 40 years of history. Direct them to this web site or www.tristatebariatrics.org It's important that they understand that morbid obesity is a disease and that weight loss surgery is only a tool. The surgery helps with weight loss and but it also helps to keep the weight off long term.
- People who are morbidly obese often report that their spouses, or others close to them, seem to discourage weight loss or even sabotage your weight loss. These people see your weight as part of your identity. Understand that this is a fear of change for them. Discuss your reasons for having surgery. They need to know that your health is at stake and you will be counting on them to help you during and after surgery. Providing information and education to those close to you about the lifestyle changes you are making can ultimately help you.
- Attend support groups in your area or visit them online. Your surgeon's office will help you here. Surround yourself with people who share your situation. Ask questions and receive answers in a safe and supportive environment. There are many behavioral issues that impacts ones food choices and lifestyle changes. Learn from others who are undergoing the same lifestyle changes you are about to undertake. Form a network to share recipes and exercise tips. It's important for you to know that you are not alone. There are knowledgeable, friendly people available to support and help you.

Lately, every food magazine and cooking website has a gallery of Valentine's Day-friendly meals, featuring decadent meals like duck breast sauced with cherries and port, or grilled veal for two. While I adhere to the notion that a decadent homemade meal would (and should) impress any date more than a restaurant reservation, I also think that since V-Day falls on Meatless Monday this year, I owe your menu planning a few vegetarian pointers.
There's a bonus to going meat-free next Monday, too: You can use the money you save cooking these romantic recipes for two to buy chocolate and champagne:

Marinating is what turns grilled chicken into great grilled chicken!
Grill sliced fresh mushrooms or bell peppers with the chicken.
Balsamic vinegar adds a wonderful distinctive flavor to this pretty salad, but you can also use red wine vinegar.
No time to grill? Cut the chicken into slices, marinate as directed, then drain and discard marinade. Cook in a skillet over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until no longer pink in center.

|Kirk's stunt double
|Where No Man Has Gone Before
|Stunt double
|The Enterprise is travelling near the edge of the Galaxy when it discovers an object floating in space. Beaming it aboard they find that it is an old-style ship recorder, something vessels would jettison in case of an emergency. Since it is damaged Spock surmises that the vessel it belonged to was destroyed. The recorder is triggered and begins transmitting its records.
The officers go to the bridge where Spock scans the message. The recorder was jettisoned by the SS Valiant some 200 years ago. Kirk informs the crew about the discovery and meets Dr. Dehner, a psychologist who is aboard to study the effects the stresses of shipboard life have on Starfleet personnel. Gary Mitchell tries to flirt with Dehner, and is strongly rebuffed - prompting him to refer to her as a "walking freezer unit".
Spock interprets the rest of the Valiant's message, reporting that the ship was thrown clear of the Galaxy by a magnetic storm. Although the record is damage he finds repeated references to ESP capability in Humans, including searches of the computer for information of the subject which he classifies as being almost frantic. Dehner claims that there are some Humans who can see the future or manipulate objects with their minds, though this is never very powerful in Humans. Spock continues with his report - he finds records of deaths aboard the Valiant, more ESP research, and then a self-destruct order by the captain.
Although concerned, Kirk decides to proceed with his mission to probe beyond the edge of the Galaxy and takes the ship ahead. They discover a massive energy barrier and are able to penetrate it, but the ship is badly damaged and both Mitchell and Dehner seem to suffer some physical distress as a result. When Mitchell opens his eyes, they have become silver in colour.
Kirk takes the ship back on impulse power, with the warp drive damaged beyond repair. Spock does some research and finds that both Mitchell and Dehner have been recorded to have a high ESP rating, with Mitchell the highest. Others killed during the encounter with the barrier suffered damage to a specific region of the brain.
Meanwhile Mitchell is reading in sickbay. He claims to feel fine - better than he ever has, in fact. But his manner seems odd, arrogant and almost threatening. After Kirk leaves he begins to read at an extraordinary rate, digesting whole pages in an instant. Spock is monitoring this, and he and Kirk assign security to keep an eye on Mitchell. In sickbay Dehner talks with Mitchell and he begins to demonstrate unusual abilities - causing his life signs to blank out at will, showing his as dead on the monitor. He also reveals that he has not only read by perfectly memorised countless books. Lieutenant Kelso arrives for a visit, reporting on the sad state of the engines. Mitchell warns him to check the starboard impulse engine packs, explaining that there is a problem which they have missed and which will cause the entire deck to explode if they don't correct it.
Kelso checks and reports to Kirk that Mitchell was indeed correct. The officers discuss the situation, with Scotty reporting that the controls in engineering started working on their own a short time ago - and each time it happened, Mitchell could be seen smiling on the monitor. Spock suggests that Mitchell's power is growing exponentially, and that he will inevitably come to see Humans as insignificant compared to himself. They decide to hear for a nearby automated outpost on the planet Delta Vega, hoping to cannibalise it to repair the warp drive and strand Mitchell there where he can do no harm.
They successfully repair the engines, but Mitchell kills Kelso by using his powers to strangle him, and escapes his confinement. He knocks out the others and finds that Dehner has also developed silver eyes - she is undergoing the same transformation, just more slowly since she had a lower ESP rating in the first place. The two escape the station together. When Kirk recovers he takes a phaser rifle and goes after them.
Mitchell and Dehner begin converting part of the desolate surface of Delta Vega into a garden-like environment. Mitchell is declares himself a God, with Humans suitable only to be his worshippers. He tries to kill Kirk when he finds the pair, but Dehner rebels against his arrogant attitude and attacks him with her powers. He survives the attack and strikes back, killing her, but his abilities are temporarily drained. Kirk fights with him, and finally uses the phaser to blast a large rock off a cliff side, killing Mitchell when it falls onto him.
Back on the Enterprise, Kirk grieves over the loss of his friend as the ship heads back on warp drive.
|Wolf in the Fold
|Hengist's stunt double
|The Enterprise is visiting Argelius II, a planet whose philosophy heavily emphasised hedonism and pleasure. Kirk and McCoy are accompanying Scotty on shore leave, enjoying some female entertainment in a local bar. Scotty recently suffered a near-fatal accident caused by a woman, and there has been some concern that he harbours a deep seated resentment of women as a result. The shore leave is an attempt to get him over this feeling.
The therapy seems to work, and Scotty accompanies one of the dancers home through the quiet night. However, shortly afterwards the woman is found stabbed brutally to death, with Scotty standing over the body paralysed with shock, holding a knife in hands covered with blood.
Scotty claims to have no clear memory of exactly what happened. Mr Hengist, the Chief Administrator of the planet, demands that Scotty be confined whilst the crime is investigated. However the planet's leader, Prefect Jaris, suggests that his wife Sybo may be of use. She has some form of empathic ability which he thinks may be of value. Kirk has Lt. Tracy beam down from the ship with a psycho-tricorder, which will be able to probe Scotty's memories of the event and determine his guilt or innocence.
As she prepares to administer the test they discuss another suspect, the dancer's former fiance Morla. He was jealous of the attention her dancing brought from other men, a reaction the Argelians consider to be shameful. Morla is questioned but claims that he had nothing to do with the crime. As the testing of Scotty begins the lights black out and there is a scream; when the lights come on again Lt. Tracy has been stabbed to death and once again Scotty is standing practically over the body. With the only other entrance to the room locked, it appears certain that he is the killer.
Prefect Jaris insists that his wife carry out a kind of seance. She appears to enter a trance-like state, speaking of a great evil, a hunger which can never be satisfied. She calls out several names, "Beratis", "Kesla" and "Redjac". As the seance reaches a crescendo the lights black out - and as they come back on Sybo lies dead, and once again Scotty is apparently the killer despite having no clear memory of what happened.
Mr Hengist is completely convinced that Scotty is guilty, but Kirk convinces Jaris to beam up to the Enterprise so that Scotty can be subjected to computer analysis - this will provide a definitive answer as to his guilt or innocence, regardless of any mental failings. The test shows both Scotty and Morla to be innocent of any wrongdoing. When Scotty talks of feeling a cold, evil presence in the room when the lights were out Kirk begins to suspect some form of creature may be responsible, something that feeds on negative emotions and attacks women to cause them. Although Hengist finds this answer incredible, the computer confirms that it is possible and Jaris seems open minded. The computer cites creatures native to Alpha Carina V who subsist on the emotion of love; this being apparently subsists on terror. It is suggested to be incorporeal, existing as a formless being but capable of taking solid form at will - much as the Mellitus cloud creature of Alpha Majoris I that can change from gaseous to solid forms.
They run the names spoken by Sybo through the computer and find that Beratis and Kesla are the names of mass murderers of women on Rigel IV Deneb II respectively, neither of whom were caught. Redjac is a mystery until the computer checks variations and finds 'Red Jack', another name for the infamous Jack the Ripper from Earth history. Further analysis shows a string of such murders throughout history - and the trail leads directly towards Argelius, with the Beratis killings happening on Rigel IV less than a year ago. Further, the knife used in the killings on Argelius is of Rigellian design. Kirk notes that Hengist is from Rigel IV, and arrived about a year ago.
As suspicion turns on Hengist he becomes agitated and attempts to flee, only to be knocked down by Kirk. However, he dies on the spot. The ship's computer begins to go out of control, telling the crew they will all die - apparently the Hengist creature has abandoned his physical body and infested the computer in an attempt to terrify the crew.
Kirk has McCoy dope up everyone in the crew, putting them into a state of mild euphoria. Spock orders the computer to calculate the value of Pi to the last digit, an insoluble problem which will suck up most of it's resources. Hengist is forced from the computer and returns back to his body, but he is injected with the same drug the crew have taken. Although the entity cannot be killed in the conventional sense, Kirk has it beamed into space on a wide dispersion - scattering it across space and effectively destroying it.
|The Apple
|Native stunt double
|The Enterprise is visiting the planet Gamma Trianguli VI. A landing party finds the planet to be a paradise, with a planetwide warm climate. However, a call from Scotty on the ship brings trouble - the ship is experiencing a minor problem with the antimatter pods, possibly related to abnormalities in the magnetic field of the planet itself. Spock's tricorder detects underground vibrations coming from all directions, vibrations which he thinks are artificially produced. As the landing party scouts around they detect a life form nearby, apparently somebody watching them.
They proceed towards a nearby village, but along the way the planet offers up a few surprises. A rock explodes when tossed to the ground; a plant fires poison darts; a freak storm suddenly blows up and Spock is struck by lightning. It appears that Gamma Trianguli VI is not so pleasant a place after all!
Meanwhile on the Enterprise, the problem becomes worse - the antimatter pods have become completely inert, as if some external force had extinguished them. Without main power the ship is all but helpless and unable to beam the landing party up.
They reach the village, although two of the landing party are killed on the way by the planets strange dangers. Kirk manages to capture the native who is watching them, and they demand to know what is going on. The man claims to be the "leader of the feeders of Vaal." They continue on to the village with the man, who is named Akuta. He agrees to take them to Vaal - which proves to be a giant stone head reminiscent of a reptile. The head is surrounded by a powerful forcefield, making any approach impossible. They go back to the village to rest. Kirk notes that there are no children there - prompting confusion from the natives, who apparently have no idea what children are. Vaal, they say, has forbidden men and women to touch one another, and there is no reproduction allowed - much to McCoy's disgust. The Doctor scans the people and finds every one of them to be in perfect health, without any sign of ageing amongst them.
Vaal calls the villagers, and they bring supplies of food to place inside the head - the forcefield apparently allowing them in to feed their god. Kirk ponders whether Vaal might become weaker if it is denied the regular influx of food. Kirk and McCoy seem determined to destroy Vaal, claiming that it is stifling the right of the natives to a "free and unchained environment" and any chance to grow and develop as a culture. Spock warns that they are simply applying human standards to a culture which they may not apply to - the villagers surely have the right to choose a system that clearly works to provide them with long term stability.
Scotty reports that they are detecting a steady decrease in Vaal's power readings, possibly a result of the food being used up. He is working to boost the output of the ship's impulse engines, though this will take a good eight hours to accomplish. In not much longer than that the ship will fall into the atmosphere and burn up.
In the village, two of the natives observe Chekov kissing one of his female comrades and become curious as to what it is like. This apparently angers Vaal, who communicates with Akuta to tell him to kill the landing party. Vaal provides instructions on how to use violence, and the natives mount an attack. However, although one of the Enterprise crew is killed the natives are quickly defeated.
Scotty manages to complete his modifications and boost the ship into a slightly higher orbit, but he only gains an extra hour or so. Kirk decides to starve Vaal in an attempt to weaken it, and then orders the ship to direct a phaser barrage at the force field around it. Vaal is forced to expend its remaining energy to defend against the attack, and becomes inert. Without the field affecting the ship, full power is quickly restored.
Kirk tells the natives that the Federation will provide them with assistance until they can cope with life on their own. Although Spock expresses some concern with their actions the Captain is happy at the outcome, and the ship proceeds on course.
|Bread and Circuses
|McCoy's stunt double
|The Enterprise discovers the wreckage of the SS Beagle, a survey vessel missing for six years. The sensors indicate that the wreckage originate at a nearby planet, the fourth in Star System 892. The ship proceeds to the planet to search for survivors, with Kirk hoping to locate the Captain, R.M. Merik, who was a friend of his.
On arrival they intercept television broadcasts from the planet indicating that the civilisation there is a close parallel to the Roman Empire on Earth, only in this case the Empire never fell but continued to progress technologically until it reached a level comparable to mid 20th century Earth. But the Empire retains the brutality associated with ancient Rome, including televised Gladiatorial combat. The crew witness such a combat and notice that the defeated 'barbarian' is William B. Harrison, the flight officer of the SS Beagle.
Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to investigate the situation, arriving a short distance outside the city the broadcast was coming from. Unfortunately they are quickly captured by a renegade group calling themselves the Children of the Sun; a religious cult who apparently engage in sun worship. Former champion Gladiator Flavius Maximus is amongst their number, a man who renounced his violent ways when he joined the group. Kirk convinced the group's leader, Septimus, that the landing party is from a ship offshore. He explains why they are there and Spetimus suggests that Merik could be Merikus, the First Citizen. Septimus asks Flavius to lead Kirk and his officers into the city in disguise. Unfortunately they are soon spotted by the police and captured.
Taken to the city, Kirk manages to convince his captors to allow him to meet Merikus. It is indeed his old friend R.M. Merik, captain of the Beagle. Merik takes Kirk to Proconsul Claudius Marcus, who to Kirk's surprise knows all about the offworld origins of Merik and Kirk. Merik explains that when the Beagle was lost his men were stranded on the planet and left with the choice of assimilating or being killed. Those who refused to assimilate were forced to fight in the Gladiator games until they were killed. Claudius demands that Kirk contact the Enterprise and order the crew to beam down to their own fate, but Kirk gives the coded command Condition Green - signalling that the landing party is in trouble but forbidding any rescue attempt. With this, and the planet's status as a pre-warp society, there is virtually nothing that the Enterprise can do to help. Claudius is surprised by Kirk's resistance, and orders Spock and McCoy sent to the games to be killed.
Kirk is made to watch as Spock and McCoy fight Flavius and another Gladiator. Spock is easily able to defeat his opponent thanks to his superior Vulcan physique, but McCoy only survives because Flavius holds back. Kirk feigns amusement at the spectacle, pretending not to care if his officers are killed, much to Claudius's surprise. Merik chimes in that as a Starship commander, Kirk is the very best Humanity has to offer - far more capable than himself, as he tried and failed to achieve such a post. In the end Spock overpowers both opponents, which is against the rules of the combat. Claudius spares them, thinking to use them as further leverage against Kirk.
McCoy and Spock are put in a cell, where Spock rebuffs McCoy's attempts to thank him for saving his life. McCoy angrily accuses Spock of being so desperate to hide his emotions that he's terrified of actually living his life fully. When Spock refuses to engage with the conversation McCoy wearily admits that they are both just worrying about Kirk.
Kirk, meanwhile, is being kept in far more luxurious surroundings. Claudius assures him that in the end he will have no choice but to compromise - and a beautiful slave girl, Drusilla is sent to seduce Kirk as part of the "carrot" part of the carrot and stick approach.
The Enterprise picks up a broadcast announcing Kirk's execution in the arena. Scott, frustrated at his inability to intervene directly, decides to scan the power sources on the planet and simultaneously disrupt them all for a few moments. He hopes that this demonstration of the power of the ship might give those below some second thoughts, whilst not counting as a direct intervention.
Kirk is taken to the arena for his execution. He manages to escape thanks to the power blackout, though Flavius is killed in the process. He frees Spock and McCoy from their cell, but the police arrive and engage them in combat with swords. Merik uses a communicator he has stolen to contact the ship and tell them where the officers are, and is stabbed and killed by Claudius. As the guards open fire on Kirk, Spock and McCoy the three officers are beamed away just in the nick of time.
Back on board, Spock muses on the parallels between Earth and Planet 892-IV, although he notes that ancient Rome did not have Sun worship. Uhura, who has been monitoring the planet's broadcasts, chimes in to say that they have all misunderstood the situation. The rebels do not worship the Sun, but the Son - the Son of God. Kirk marvels that 892-IV had Ceasar and Christ both, and wonders what it would be like to watch the inevitable spread of Christianity on the planet. With that, the ship departs.
|A Private Little War
|Kirk's and Apella's stunt double
|The Enterprise is visiting an idyllic planet to do some research there, as McCoy describes the biology there as "a medical treasure trove". Kirk, who performed the initial survey of the world 13 years previously, described it as a near perfect planet which should be left undisturbed so that the peaceful but primitive inhabitants could progress in their own way.
Unfortunately it seems that the natives are not so peaceful any more - Kirk sees a group of Villagers setting up to ambush some Hill People using flintlock firearms. Worse, the Hill People are led by Tyree, whom Kirk met and befriended on his previous visit. Unable to use his phaser to intervene directly, Kirk lobs a rock at the Villagers, prompting one to fire accidentally and thus warning the Hill People. The officers quickly retreat as the Vilalgers give chase, but just before they can beam out Spock is shot in the back.
Aboard the Enterprise McCoy works to stabilise Spock, but can give no guarantee as to his prognosis. Kirk decides to head back down to investigate the planet further, and McCoy decides to join him - leaving Spock in the care of Dr. M'Benga, a specialist in Vulcan medicine who interned in a Vulcan hospital ward.
The ship's sensors detect a Klingon ship in orbit of the planet. Realising that it hasn't spotted them yet Kirk orders the ship to stay out of sight if possible, even if it means leaving orbit. He and McCoy beam down in native disguise and start to search the area for signs of Hill People. Unfortunately they are attacked by a fierce local beast called a Mugato, and Kirk is bitten. The Mugato bite is poisonous, and Kirk quickly falls unconscious. McCoy calls for help, but the Enterprise has left to avoid detection.
Tyree and some Hill People arrive at the scene and take Kirk and McCoy to their village. Tyree's wife is Nona, a local "Kahn-ut-tu woman" who is knowledgeable in the effects of various plants and animals on the planet. She goes to the cave where McCoy is looking after Kirk, and sees the Doctor using his phaser to heat some rocks to provide warmth. Intrigued, she demands that Tyree tell her everything about Kirk or she won't be able to cure him of the Mugato bite.
Nona treats Kirk with a "Mahko root", a thing that appears half plant, half animal. She places it on the bite and cuts her own hand open to place it on the root, chanting an incantation. The bite is completely cured within moments, leaving Kirk awake and aware. Tyree glumly states that according to legend, the mingling of the blood through the Mahko root means that their souls have met in the spirit world, and Kirk will be unable to refuse Nona any request from now on. It becomes clear that Nona uses her skills to dominate and manipulate as much as to heal and help.
Once Kirk is up and about, Tyree explains that the Villager's "fire sticks" appeared about a year ago; as far as he knows the Villagers make them themselves. Kirk asks Tyree to help him sneak into the Village at night to investigate. Nona is hopeful that Kirk's arrival will allow the Hill People to start fighting back against the Villagers, though Tyree wants no part in violence and merely hopes that the Villagers will eventually return to their peaceful ways.
Once in the Village, Kirk and McCoy find a chrome steel drill and carbon-free iron, along with cold rolled gun barrels - none of which could have been produced in the primitive forge that the Villagers possess. Soon a Klingon appears with the Village leader, Apella. Kirk overhears the Klingon discussing new weapon advancements that he will soon give to the Villagers, and how one day Apella will become governor of the whole planet - as a subject world of the Klingon Empire. Kirk and McCoy escape, taking a flintlock with them.
Back on the Enterprise Spock has been in a healing trace. He wakes, asking Nurse Chapel to strike him repeatedly in order to help him fully back to consciousness. She reluctantly does, much to the consternation of the passing Scotty. M'Benga explains that this is actually standard practice for Vulcans, and Spock has now recovered from his wound.
On the planet Kirk is demonstrating the operation of the Flintlock rifle to the Hill People, much to McCoy's consternation. Kirk justifies his apparent violation of the Prime Directive by stating that the Klingons have already upset the natural balance here, and the only thing to do is to restore the balance by giving equal weapons to the Hill People so that they can defend themselves. Although horrified, McCoy can offer no viable alternative.
Kirk encounters Nona away from the Hill People's camp, and she seduces him by rubbing leaves from some local plants on his arm, inducing a sort of hypnotic daze. Tyree sees this and raises the flintlock, moments from killing for the firt time. But he instead throws the weapon down in disgust and storms off angrily. Suddenly another Mugato attacks the pair, but the addled Kirk manages to vaporizes it with his phaser. Nona knocks Kirk out and steals the weapon, making off to find some Villagers. She finds a small group and proclaims that she now has the ultimate weapon, far more powerful than their "fire sticks". The Villagers don't believe her, and when Nona is unable to work out how to fire the weapon she is quickly captured. Kirk, McCoy and Tyree arrive on the scene - but the Villagers think that this was a trap, and one of them stabs Nona in the stomach. The Hill People and Villagers charge one another, and an appalled McCoy watches as the Hill People defeat them - with Tyree beating one man to death with a rock, lost in rage.
Afterwards, Tyree orders the few escaped Villagers hunted down and killed, and takes a flintlock over to Kirk to ask for "more of these, Kirk - many more!" The Enterprise arrives back in orbit and signals Kirk. He reluctantly asks Scotty how long it would take to manufacture a hundred flintlocks for the natives. Kirk is beamed up and the ship heads out of orbit, the deadly cargo presumably delivered.
|The Empath
|McCoy's stunt double
|The Enterprise arrives at the star Minaria, due to go nova in a short time, to evacuate a Federation research outpost which has been monitoring the system. On arrival Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to find the facility deserted. They choose to remain on the planet when a giant solar flare forces the Enterprise to leave the system for several days, confident that the atmosphere will protect them from any radiation. No sooner has the ship left than the landing party is beamed to a chamber deep underground where they encounter Gem, a mysterious alien woman with empathic powers but no language capability. A pair of aliens called Vians appear and explain that they are testing Gem to see if her species is worth of salvaging from the effects of the nova. Gem is capable of using her mental abilities to absorb the pain and injuries of others into herself; the Vians intend to torture the Enterprise officers in order to find out whether Gem will cure them despite the suffering it will cause her. If she is ultimately willing to sacrifice herself for others, the Vians will take this as a sign that her life is worth saving.
The Vians put the Enterprise officers through a series of ordeals, with the three practically fighting amongst themselves to be the one who will be tortured in place of their friends. Ultimately Gem does indeed take all of their suffering upon herself, ending her own life. Declaring themselves satisfied, the Vians return the Enterprise officers to their ship and the Enterprise continues on its way.

Badr Hari vs. Tony Gregory Official For It's Showtime, May 14 in Lyon, France
- Written by Dave Walsh
They say that the news never sleeps, and in that regard, neither do I, apparently. Keeping Dutch hours leads you to find pretty cool stuff in the wee hours of the morning, and it turns out that Badr Hari's return opponent has been announced by It's Showtime, officially, as has the rest of the Lyon card and it is lining up to be absolutely incredible.
The main event features the return of the Bad Boy, Badr Hari! Badr will be coming back after a year layoff due to some nagging legal issues, and his return opponent has been hotly debated for the past few weeks or so. The long-standing rumor was that the fight between Gokhan Saki and Badr Hari that was originally airmarked for the Amsterdam ArenA show would materialize in Lyon, but instead local kickboxer Tony Gregory has been called back into action to fight Badr Hari. This is a great return bout for Badr Hari, as it gives him a chance to hone his skills and gives him a bit of a cushion before heading back into the deep waters. Tony Gregory retired from kickboxing a few years ago to pursue a boxing career, but after disappointing results he finds himself back in the kickboxing mix, this time against one of the most dangerous fighters in the kickboxing world.
Tyrone Spong steps back into the It's Showtime ring, this time at Heavyweight as he'll take on Igor Mihaljevic, a Croatian Heavyweight. Igor provides a stiff challenge at Heavyweight for Spong, who is right now training with King Mo Lawal in Holland. Spong looks to cement his spot as one of the elite Heavyweights in the world by taking the fight to Igor here. Paul Slowinski's jam-packed year doesn't stop just yet, as he will take on the man that is more of a beast, the Romanian Daniel Ghita. Ghita looks to be heading into his fight with Hesdy Gerges in a few weeks, and a fight against Slowinski will provide another challenge, but will Slowinski just be a stepping stone for Ghita?
Then we move down from Heavyweight to Middleweight, as It's Showtime's 70kg MAX division fills out the rest of the card, with two-time K-1 MAX World Grand Prix Champion Giorgio Petrosyan takes on a fighter that last year put on one of the best fights imaginable against Mike Zambidis, Chahid Oulad El Hadj. This is a huge fight for Chahid, and for Petrosyan it is just another day at the office. With It's Showtime planning a 70kg MAX tournament in July and both men rumored to be involved, a win here is huge for momentum.
It's Showtime's 70kg MAX champion defends his crown finally, as Chris Ngimbi looks to ward off Willy Borrell. Ngimbi's title win has been disputed by some fans, so a strong performance by Ngimbi can help solidify his spot in It's Showtime this year and help build momentum for the MAX tournament in Russia this July. Rounding out the card is Abder Penda facing off against Marat Grigorian at 70kg, with both men looking to leave a big impression on the international kickboxing scene.
I'll say this, It's Showtime hasn't disappointed yet and keeps marching forward for what looks to be a banner year. I know many fans are upset with the lack of K-1, but It's Showtime is really churning out the big cards. [source]

Mission Journal: Ethiopian journalists must choose between being locked up or locked out
A sharp increase in the number of Ethiopian journalists fleeing into exile has been recorded by the Committee to Protect Journalists in the past 12 months. More than 30--twice the number of exiles CPJ documented in 2012 and 2013 combined--were forced to leave after the government began a campaign of arrests. In October, Nicole Schilit of CPJ's Journalist Assistance program and Martial Tourneur of partner group Reporters Without Borders traveled to Nairobi in Kenya to meet some of those forced to flee.

Where I stayed
Arthur Hotel Helsinki
Read my review - 3/5 stars
Read my review - 3/5 stars
Helsinki is celebrating its 200 years anniversary in 2012, but the country of Finland is only 95 years old. Long story short, Finland was a grand duchy of Russia for awhile and only gained independence in '17.
The locals say Suomi is the second most difficult language to learn behind Mandarin. They may be right there. Locals are real friendly, everytime the map has come out someone is eager to lend a hand.
Things are a little different here
Helsinki has quite and edgy vibe to it. Everyone here is either a punk, rocker, aging rocker, emo, goth, arty scarf wearing type or wearing a black trenchcoat. Look around and you could be at a Motley gig, its unreal! I blame MTV and the rise of HIM, CKY, Bam Magera and co, plus the dudesons (youtube them if you dare). I loved it. There are also posters up all over this city for an up and coming Michael Jackson tour...not sure how well news travels.
Lots of museums and churches to check out (Temppeliaukio being built out of a rock) and the Suomenlinna fortress was pretty cool, although everything inbetween is the same looking boring 4 story concrete box. Wandering about the olympic stadium was fun, no security anywhere. I was going up and down the old hallways, grandstands, wandering about the playing surface no issues. This can make getting lost not to tricky at all, although as long as you have sorted the church spires as map markets, getting around is easy
I'm not sure what time happy hour officially starts here (or infact finishes). It's not uncommon to see cats swigging back on a bottle of whisky (in public) pre 10am. Do as the locals do, I guess. More morning coffees with booze. The beers at 8% are deadly.
Here's one for you. I was taking a shot at something in the main square, then this cat wandered up to me. I could smell the booze from a distance. He mumbled something in Finnish to me, I think perhaps a reference to the Anvil t-shirt (he was also on the phone). Next thing he put the flip phone, under the ear of my beanie so it was firmly held in place, sparked up a durry then was on his way again. Like I said, things are a little different.
One major disappointment is that there is no air guitar try outs on this weekend. The tour has moved to are Belgium this weekend unfortunately. Next time, will have to plan better.
Helsinki has been a blast, now off to sail the sunny Baltic to the former USSR.
