Canadian's Guantanamo trial delayed until November 10
By Jane Sutton
MIAMI (Reuters) - The U.S. military has reset the Guantanamo war crimes tribunal of a young Canadian captive for November 10, meaning his murder trial will be delayed until after elections in the United States and Canada.
Omar Khadr's trial was scheduled to begin on October 8, but a military judge postponed it this month amid defense complaints that the government failed to turn over evidence.
The November trial date was announced on Tuesday for Toronto-born Khadr, who was 15 when captured after a firefight at a suspected al Qaeda compound in Afghanistan and accused of throwing a grenade that killed a U.S. special forces soldier.
Khadr, who will turn 22 on Friday, faces life in prison if convicted in the special military tribunals created by the Bush administration to try foreign captives on terrorism charges outside the regular civilian and military courts.
Khadr's lawyers have asked that an independent psychologist and psychiatrist be allowed to examine him, arguing that his thinking may have been temporarily impaired by the 500-pound (225-kg) bombs that U.S. forces dropped on the compound before entering what was left of it.
If the request is granted, the trial would be "very unlikely" to start on November 10, said his military lawyer, Navy Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler.
It was unclear whether the tribunals would continue under the next U.S. administration. Both major candidates vying to succeed President George W. Bush in the November 4 elections have said they would close the widely criticized detention operation on the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Bush administration officials concede that the operation has stained the United States' image, but said efforts to send home more of the 255 remaining prisoners have been stymied and the camp's fate will likely be an issue for the next president. Continued...


text: Sinister Design's latest Telepath RPG had enjoyable turn-based combat but at the beginning of the game, the player's party are so underpowered that their options are few. Stab, shoot, move. It doesn't lead to the richest of tactical experiences and even though the discovery of more abilities opened the game up later on, the intricacy of the combat didn't shine through 'til later. Enter Telepath Tactics, which drops the story, keeps the Middle Eastern steampunk setting and concentrates on combat and combat alone. Mainly multiplayer but with AI to fight against should you wish (I wish). Hopefully it will be ready later this year and there's a very early video below.

Location:2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
The purpose of this agreement is to conduct basic research on three types of crop residue to determine the threshold wind speeds that will cause the residue to leave the field under typical after-harvest surface conditions. The data collected will be analyzed and algorithms developed, which will be incorporated into the WEPS wind erosion model used by NRCS.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Major tasks to be completed: a) Complete modifications to the portable wind tunnel for the field and laboratory experiments. b) Instrument portable wind tunnel to obtain desired wind speed threshold data for blowing flat residue. c) Conduct field wind tunnel experiments under laboratory conditions and on after-harvest winter wheat field sites in the Manhattan, KS area. d) Conduct field wind tunnel experiments under laboratory conditions and on after-harvest field sites for at least two additional crop residues (soybeans and corn or grain sorghum) in the Manhattan, KS area. e) Analyze the field data to form functional relationships between surface conditions (amount of anchored standing residue existing) and the threshold wind speeds measured vs. the quantity of stems and leaves (measured separately) that left the experimental sites (wind tunnel test plots). f) Develop the functional relationships between surface conditions and threshold wind velocities vs. lost mass of loose residue stems and leaves considered "blowing residue". g) Incorporate functional relationships into code to be implemented within WEPS. Progress milestones and estimated completion dates: 1) Wheat (moderately tough residue class) a) Initial (exploratory) Laboratory Wind Tunnel Study Jul 1, 2012 b) Field Wind Tunnel Study – July 14, 2012 Aug 1, 2012 c) Extended Laboratory Wind Tunnel Study Sep 1, 2012 2) Soybeans (fragile residue class) a) Initial (exploratory) Laboratory Wind Tunnel Study Oct 1, 2012 b) Field Wind Tunnel Study Nov 1, 2012 c) Extended Laboratory Wind Tunnel Study Jan 1, 2013 3) Corn/Grain Sorghum (tough residue class) a) Initial (exploratory) Laboratory Wind Tunnel Study Oct 1, 2012 b) Field Wind Tunnel Study Nov 1, 2012 c) Extended Laboratory Wind Tunnel Study Jan 1, 2013 4) Data analysis and algorithm development Apr 1, 2013 5) Incorporation of algorithm into WEPS Jun 1, 2013
3. Progress Report:
NRCS has witnessed many fields that have had standing residue mowed down to a height where high winds have either blown residue from the field or re-distributed it within the field, and wind erosion has occurred, even though there was sufficient residue that would normally have protected the field. NRCS realized that WEPS (Wind Erosion Prediction System) did not reflect this situation where high winds would cause the residue to either be re-distributed and/or blow off of a field, making it much more susceptible to wind erosion. Since there were no research data available on this topic, NRCS requested that suitable research be conducted to determine the conditions that this occurs and implement this phenomena within the WEPS model based upon this research. As part of this project, modifications to a portable wind tunnel have been completed for the field and laboratory experiments. Instrumentation for the portable wind tunnel has been obtained to measure desired wind speed threshold data for blowing flat residue within the tunnel. Replicated field wind tunnel experiments have also been conducted under two standing residue heights (mowed to two heights) in a harvested wheat field near Manhattan, KS. The mulched (mowed) residue was sampled to determine the fraction of stem length ranges which existed in the field. Preparations are under way for a series of laboratory wind tunnel experiments to be conducted. Specific conditions to be studied are the areal density (population) of standing stems within a row, the height of the standing stems and a range of wind speeds that exceed the static threshold friction velocity for the given conditions. The "trapping capacity" of the standing stems in the tunnel will also be determined for each wind speed measurements are taken. When the data has been fully collected and analyzed, the results will be incorporated into the WEPS model, allowing the changed surface residue conditions to be simulated when wind speeds exceed the threshold for retaining the flat residue on the surface. When fully implemented within WEPS, NRCS will be able to provide information to farmers on what minimum height their standing residue can be safely mowed and still provide adequate protection from wind erosion.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Can you say beluga, sevruga, osetra? Petrossian can: It's the largest importer of Russian caviar in the world. Can you say foie gras? Petrossian can: The company's farms in France produce plump, silken specimens. Can you say expensive? Petrossian can, because it ain't cheap to get all that good stuff over here. Indeed you can ply your senses with twenty grams of sevruga for $23, or beluga for $47. But you should be aware that while for drug addicts, twenty grams is a feast, for caviar aficionados it's barely a snort. And if you're planning on accompanying those sturgeon eggs with champagne, be prepared for some bottles to run over the $400 mark. Needless to say the best time to dine at Petrossian is when you have grateful guests in the house. Allow them to think of the dinner check as room and board, and in the end, everyone -- especially your waiter (what's fifteen percent of $400?) -- is more than sensually sated.
Oh, we know the myth. The best hamburgers are made from ground chuck, because the meat has more fat in it. The fat then prevents the burger from shrinking into a McDonald's-esque disk while cooking. Well, baloney. At the downtown location of Morton's, the hamburger is a full eight ounces of lean ground sirloin. Hard to feel guilty eating that. And it's just about the juiciest thing we've encountered outside the Chris Paciello story. The single drawback? The burger is served only during the noontime meal. Still, order with a side of lyonnaise taters, and that's what we call a power lunch.
This converted no-tell motel on South Dixie is painted a really disgusting shade of green; a more reliable harbinger of the food within can be seen in the clusters of patrons on the benches outside the front door, eagerly awaiting their tables. Inside it's long and narrow, with a boxcarlike feel, but the friendly service and the pungent scent of Thai basil, fish sauce, and chili paste more than compensate for the cramped quarters. A Thai restaurant is only as good as its pad thai, and this one kills: a light hand with the ground pork, and it actually has plenty of shrimp! The rich curries are excellent, as are appetizers like tiger tear and nam sod. The chefs also show a deft touch with seafood; if you find a restaurant of any ethnic description that can cook up a tastier whole snapper, let us know. And if you like your Thai food with plenty of fire, you'll be pleased to know Siam Lotus Room actually takes you at your word when you ask for "four stars" of spiciness. Ouch! Hurts so good.
You just made it. Booth okay? Care for a beverage? Will that be the pasta fagioli or the garden salad? And your rolls: plain or dripping with garlic? For dinner there's lasagna, stuffed shells, eggplant rollatini, chicken parmigiana, veal cacciatore, linguine in clam sauce, ziti with sausage, or something else ... I forgot; I'll be right back. What do you mean you're full? No dessert? Either way it's $7.95. Come on, take the cannoli! (Oh well, just come back: The early bird special is offered seven days a week, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.)
Tart enough. Sweet enough. Mellow yellow filling, almost ecru. Velvety texture. Moist, crumbly graham cracker crust. Outside edge daintily adorned with a ring of whipped cream. Center garnished with more cream and a twisted lime slice. Ideal to serve to your friends, but at close to ten bucks, certainly not meant to throw at your enemies.
Some folks visit this corner storefront eatery for its baked pastas. Other patrons go for its wonderfully prepared veal scaloppine dishes and fillets of fish sprinkled with capers. And most appreciate the lengths the staff goes to ensure that even those waiting for a table outside have a glass of refreshment. We, however, frequent the cafe for its absolutely fresh caesar salad, which is redolent with garlic, Parmesan, and the all-important anchovies. Oh, we know picky diners don't like to look an anchovy fillet in the eye, so to speak. But you don't have to. The dressing here incorporates chopped anchovies, not whole ones, so you get the proper flavor without being, well, grossed out. Best of all, the kitchen will split an order for you, and the results usually are two huge salads for the price of one.

|Home > National News > Article
|Sunday April 7, 2002
It was revealed yesterday a group of old boys was pushing for the change in government policy to allow preferential entry for the descendants of former students. It cited an article in the old boys' magazine in which a former student said the school's current demographic of 90 per cent Asian students in Year 7 was affecting school tradition.
Other old boys have written to Premier Bob Carr calling for him to allow the school to give preference to former students.
Sydney Boys High is one of 23 selective schools in NSW. To gain entry, pupils must sit a special selective schools exam in Year 6. It is the only public school to compete in the GPS sporting competition with seven private schools.
Mr Outterside said: "If the 90pc of Asians in the school were joiners and their parents were participating in the education of their children, are you going to tell me anyone of sane mind would reject them?
"There used to be 30 different nationalities at the school. Because of the dominance by some groups maybe the numbers have reduced and the balance of numbers have been reduced.
"We must have had half-a-dozen Russian, Greek and Italian students and a fair smattering of Anglo-Australians. There was a really good mix."
Wing, the Sydney Roosters halfback, said he could see benefit in giving preference to the descendants of old boys, but did not want to see deserving boys with no link to the school miss out.
Wing, who has Filipino heritage and did his HSC in 1997, said he believed the school's cultural mix had affected its performance on the football field.
"There were a lot of Asian kids at the school," he said. "We were flat out to find A and B teams and other schools had teams down to D and E. I think there could be a better mix."

D. Warren Brown Chair of Leukemia Research
Professor of Medicine, Medicinal Chemistry and Veterinary Biosciences
Director, Division of Hematology, Department of Internal Medicine
Dr. John C. Byrd attended Hendrix College in Conway, AR where he received a bachelor's degree with distinction in chemistry. He went onto receive his medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, AR. Following medical school, he completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in hematology-oncology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC. During residency and fellowship Dr. Byrd was mentored by Dr. Raymond Weiss who provided guidance in clinical research and assessment/reporting of toxicity observed with novel therapeutic agents.
He subsequently did a post-doctoral translational laboratory fellowship at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD under the direction of Dr. Michael Grever. Following completion of his fellowship in 1997, Dr. Byrd stayed on as a laboratory faculty member at Johns Hopkins while continuing his clinical work at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
In 2001, Dr. Byrd left the military service and moved to Columbus, OH where he was appointed Director of Hematologic Malignancies at The Ohio State University (OSU). He maintains this position currently, where he holds the D. Warren Brown Professorship in Leukemia Research and academic rank of Professor of Medicine and Medicinal Chemistry. He also was appointed to Interim Co-Director of the Division of Hematology and Oncology in July 2007 and became Director of the Division of Hematology in 2010. In 2008 he was appointed Associate Director of Translational Research for the OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC). Dr. Byrd has worked to build a comprehensive research program in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) at OSU. His laboratory research is funded by such organization like the National Cancer Institute and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He has also directed growth of other components of the Hematologic Malignancies program and provided career support and mentorship to several junior faculty members with interest in clinical and laboratory research related to leukemia and lymphoma. Currently, Dr. Byrd actively mentors nine junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows and students.
Dr. Byrd's research accomplishments over the past 10 years relate best to work done between the laboratory and clinic (translational work) with several different therapeutic agents active in CLL and related leukemia and lymphoma. As a consequence of Dr. Byrd's detailed laboratory and clinical work, therapeutic agents such as rituximab, alemtuzumab, and recently flavopiridol have been identified as effective agents for CLL. In particular, Dr. Byrd has and continues to be very active in development of therapeutic antibodies and other targeted agents because of his desire to work on non-toxic therapies for the treatment of leukemia.
Dr. Byrd has been active in American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) as a member of the Scientific Program Committee and currently the Grant Selection Committee. He also participated in a special ASCO meeting focused on enhancing hematologic oncology research participation at the annual ASCO meeting. He is very active in Cooperative Group Research as a member of the CLL Research Consortium and Vice Chair of the Leukemia Correlative Science Committee and a Cadre member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Committees within the Cancer and Leukemia Group B. He is on the board of the local Central Ohio Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and also participates as a member of the Translational Grant Review Committee of this organization. Dr. Byrd has been a faculty member of the Clinical Research Training Institute of the American Society of Hematology. He is a founding member of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Data Safety and Monitoring Committee. He has recently elected to the American Society of Clinical Investigation and Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for his research accomplishments. He was chosen as a University Distinguished Scholar at The Ohio State University in 2008. He is on the editorial board of several journals including Blood and Journal of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Byrd has authored or been a co-author on 200 peer-reviewed publications.
Despite Dr. Byrd's passion for clinical and translational research, his favorite day of the week remains Monday when he spends 8-12 hours in clinic providing active care for patients with CLL and other types of leukemia. He receives continuous support from his wife Laura and two sons Edward and William. He is a passionate Ohio State University Buckeye and University of Arkansas Razorback college football fan and enjoys fresh water fishing.

Pastor Claims Sprint Fueled Wife's Suspicions
7/17/2012 8:31:00 AM, Annie Youderian
(CN) - An Indianapolis pastor says Sprint invaded his privacy and caused "his head to perspire" by giving his call log transcripts to his wife, who suspected him of having an affair and confronted him with the phone records in front of their teenage daughter and several congregants.
Carl J. Mimms III, pastor of the Freedom Tabernacle of Praise Church in Indianapolis, says he specifically told Sprint employees "to not allow anyone to have access to his account except for him," because he thought his wife might be snooping in his account.
Mimms was the only person listed under that account, according to his lawsuit in Indianapolis Federal Court.
He says he called the company a second time and "reiterated his concern that his wife not have access to his account," demanding that Sprint "shut down the internet access to his account."
He claims the representative reassured him that no one else would have access to his account.
But in March, Mimms says his wife confronted him with transcripts of his call logs, including calls to another woman, in front of their 15-year-old daughter. Mimms' wife also called a meeting with their church and again confronted her husband about the phone records in front of several members of the congregation, according to the lawsuit.
When the pastor called Sprint to complain, he claims they told him that "someone had accessed information about his account" in a Sprint store two days before the confrontation with his wife.
"Plaintiff's conversation with that Sprint employee or representative caused Plaintiff's blood pressure to increase, his head to perspire, and his heart rate to increase," the lawsuit states.
Mimms says store manager Abdul Entallaby apologized and told him the employee who gave out his information no longer works there.
The pastor neither confirms nor denies his wife's accusations in the lawsuit.
He wants Sprint Nextel Corp. and Entallaby to pay actual and punitive damages for their alleged breach of confidentiality, negligence and invasion of privacy. His lawyer is Scott Barnhart.

Hi - I'm a beginner knitter, and I'm ambitiously attempting to knit a lower-case "k" into a project in garter stitch and I'm having trouble.
The problem is that when I need to pick up the color I'm knitting the letter in, the yarn is not where I need it to be. Does this mean I need to start knitting with an entirely new thread? Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial/video that can help me?
Thanks so much!-Katie
It may mean that you need to carry the yarn across the back of some sts. You could look at the Free Video, Advanced Techs on Stranded or Fair Isle knitting. If you don't want to carry the yarn across like that, you might consider doing duplicate st to make the letter, depending on how large it is. Here is a how-to for duplicate on garter st.

I have noticed that, if you're too much into systems, you loose your betting strategy ( I prefer a hit ratio of 0.20 with higher prize ratio of 0.80 !). The above string is a deduction of my previous system and is very simple to use if you are in to win, it takes diligence and focus. Take any draw and reduce the string to miimum digits ( 3 for P3, 5 for P4).
Let's use florida data for illustration:
Data Florida
Date Draw String x digits
dec 14 953 028137465 3,5
376 0281746 7,6
dec 15 894 02814 8,4
021(you start betting, now turn 021 into pairs 02-01-21 with x digits, if you are observant ,you x starts from the beginning, ie 3,5, 7 ....., and frequency of pairs are mostly 02 and 21 over 01.
If the premise of the method is confirmed during testing, then don't bother yourself with positional wheels and all other variables to compound your distractions. from the above example you can easily turn your pairs around for straight hit. For folks opting for doubles, just use the pair digits as your x.
Let;s continue from dec 15
dec 15 894 028137456 8,4
152 0213756 2,1,5
dec 16 421 0376
872 0376 7
036 (start betting,03x-36x-06x)
Now continue with other dates to get your pairs into queu to be played when preceeding pairs ' time frame(usually 4 draws) is over. During test you'll observe many ways to go for 2 digits without forming pairs.
NB: This is a tool, any suggestion to enhance it is welcome , finding problem with the system is not a solution.
Thanks for sharing!
Where does this come from?? 021(you start betting, now turn 021 into pairs 02-01-21 with x digits, if you are observant ,you x starts from the beginning, ie 3,5, 7 ....., and frequency of pairs are mostly 02 and 21 over 01.
This becomes a guessing game with the remaining digits in the string??
For P4 games, your triads for 12345, is mostly 123x, 234x and 345x before you add x.
For P5 games convert 12345 into 11223345 then into quads 1122,1123,2233, 2234,3345
This is just a suggestion.
Please read the instructions, you start betting when the string is reduced to minimum digits, there is nothing guessing about what I said, if anything it saves you money, you play less picks and restrain folks on budget to play less for effective returns. Test it , it may not be the solution for some folks, but is all about sharing.
This may prove to be more expensive just relying on just two digits that may never hit after the draw. True its not a systematic approach but I think I'd rather use as system with more options than just hoping one pair would hit. Chasing ore hedging a bet could get expensive. You made the statement that you lose your betting strategy etc. and imply that strings are the way to go. That may be true for what state you are doing but I backtested one of your strings and found no hits and at $1 a bet that gets expensive without even a box hit.
421 0376 872 0376
We got many states, get me the states you tested, and i may explain it better,is working for some folks , trust me is less expensive than you think, I made a statement " I prefer less hit with higher Prize Ratio". The string is choosen in certain way and compressed with my Recurs keys and tested . Take any state , test for draw containing a pair in sub base 291 and see recurs 465, this should be my focus for my time frame.
This New Mexico data, see the trend of sub base 291 to 465
Pair of sub 291 gives Base 465 to work on, you can test on every state, is the frequency that counts, I bet when there is pont of reference. Like I said is sharing ideals, peoples interpretations are different.
I used Manual's site to test your"recurs" for the December 8 th draw and this is the result: 2 pairs( 64,65) for the next 13 draws. Net: 0$, as a result I'll stick with my approach.
Using a system, the add and run hit last night's NM 327 . I used Thursday's 095 for this example. Two boxes $160 for a 10 dollar bet.
Get picks using this system
I don't understand your contention. Is just a system, no one is obliged to use a system, it may not be ideal solution to some folks, but some may read it with different view.
I have noticed that, if you're too much into systems, you loose your betting strategy ( I prefer a hit ratio of 0.20 with higher prize ratio of 0.80 !)
For folks using the $028137465$, you don't have go through the various steps, you can expedite your reduction by looking at your combined day and night, for up Florida data, I just compressed the string with draw date dec 14 (953 76) to 028137465[ 02814] , x= 3,7,6,5(note the order of x, is important you maintain it when adding for obvious budget and beting strategy), you next step is to reduce 02814 to ATMOST three digits by draw 894 of dec 15 to 02814(some may decide to wheel this, But is preferable to reduce it so that you can manage your betting options), you have this reduced string 021 with Sequenced x= 3,7,6,5,8,4.
Let' strive together for solutions, blant critique is never the answer!
Observe these picks for ff selected states for 4 days:
Fl: 230-238-231-232-233
Ga: 810-812-813-160-162-163

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is charged with the responsibility of regulating most medicines used by the public in order to ensure that pharmaceutical products are safe. One of its most straightforward ways of doing this is by issuing black-box warnings.
The agency can require a pharmaceutical company to include a bold warning on the packaging and the patient instruction sheet if serious or life-threatening risks are associated with the drug. Black-box warnings take their name from the black border around the information and are the FDA's most stringent warning a drug can carry before it is pulled from the shelves.
Once a drug receives a black-box warning, its manufacturer must also create a medication guide that describes how patients can safely use the drug. The guides are given out by pharmacists when prescriptions are filled and also are available online from the drug company and the FDA.
Although black-box warnings are one of the strongest tools used by the FDA to promote pharmaceutical safety, there is concern by many that they are not being used effectively and, therefore, are not protecting consumers.
Increased Use of Black-box Warnings
Although black-box warnings have been used for decades, in the last 10 years, there has been an explosion in the number issued.
Here's how many black-box warnings are created: Before a drug is made available to the public, limited clinical trials are performed. After the release and widespread patient use, however, the FDA typically has more of an understanding of the drug and its potential adverse effects and may decide to add black-box warnings.
Between 2005 and 2008, about 14 percent of safety-labeling changes have been related to black-box warning additions or revisions, according to an editorial in Hospital Pharmacy.
Still, black-box warnings are not just for relatively new drugs. For example, Darvon/Darvocet, a widely used pain reliever for more than 50 years, was issued a black-box warning in July 2009 when it was linked to fatal overdoses. Yet it wasn't until November 2010 that it was taken off the market because it was found to dangerously alter the electrical activity of the heart.
The petition asserts: "Compounding the problem of massive inappropriate use, recent evidence has documented several serious new safety problems with long-term PPI use. For some of these risks, current FDA-approved PPI labels do not mention the adverse effect at all, including the potential for developing dependence on the drugs, which results in rebound hypersecretion of stomach acid and recurrence of symptoms after stopping PPI use."
The FDA has yet to rule on Public Citizen's most recent petition.
|Examples of Black-Box Warnings
|Depression, bipolar disorder
|Suicidial thoughts in youth
|Severe acne
|Birth defects
|Type 2 diabetes
|Heart failure risk
|Type 2 diabetes
|Congestive heart failure
|High blood pressure
|Fetal toxicity
|Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox
|Tendon rupture
|Depression, anxiety
|Suicide risk
|Birth defects
|Type 2 diabetes
|Lactic acidosis

|Death risk in elderly
|Type 2 diabetes
|Thyroid cancer
|Birth Control
|Heart risk for smokers
Public Scrutiny
Recently, the watchdog group Public Citizen petitioned the FDA to include more substantial warnings on two high-profile and popular drugs: injectable botulinum toxins, such as Botox, and proton pump inhibitors, such as Nexium, used to treat acid reflux disease.
In January 2008, Public Citizen, which represents 100,000 consumers, requested regulatory action in the form of "Dear Doctor letters" and black-box warnings for injectable botulinum toxins. The petition explains:
"Botulinum toxin acts by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles, causing those muscles to relax and resulting in a loss of muscle control. … Subsequent paralysis of respiratory muscles can lead to death. In the case of injected therapeutic or cosmetic use of botulinum toxin, if the product spreads from the injection site to another area of the body, this loss of muscle control can be similarly harmful."
Public Citizen also cited the series of warnings the European Union posted regarding the spread of toxins and subsequent studies of adverse effects and fatalities linked to the drugs.
The FDA granted the petition in April 2009, clearing the way for black-box warnings on botulinum toxins (Botox, Myobloc, Dysport).
In August 2011, Public Citizen pursued the addition of black-box warnings for prescription and over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors, which are used to treat acid reflux disease, gastric ulcers and erosive esophagitis, and upper-gastrointestinal bleeding from nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use.
Confusing Use of Black-box Warnings
In at least one instance that the FDA has aggressively issued a black-box warning and then an expanded black-box warning, it has been roundly criticized, including in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Since October 2004, antidepressants, like Zoloft and others, have been required to have a black-box warning indicating that they are associated with an increased risk of suicide in children and adolescents. In May 2007, however, the FDA changed the warning to specify the risk was for young adults between ages 18 and 24, and it stated that the disease itself — depression — carries a risk of suicide. That was the first time a black-box warning implied there was a risk to not using the drug that might outweigh the drug warning itself.
"Whether the new warning will do more good than harm is not clear. There are already some signs that the warning will discourage depressed patients and their families from seeking treatment and frighten physicians away from prescribing antidepressants," wrote doctors Richard A. Friedman and Andrew C. Leon.
These are just a few examples of how the FDA's black-box warnings are applied. Although the warnings are designed to protect consumers, it's easy to see from these few case studies that black-box warnings aren't always applied in a non-arbitrary way or a consistently effective manner.

Safe Routes Snapshots provides a brief profile of a Safe Routes to School state or local program that highlights a particular success or issue the program faced. To submit your program for Safe Routes Snapshots, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The City of Chula Vista was awarded a federal SRTS grant for $621,000 from California DOT for infrastructure improvements. The Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) also received a grant for $499,000 in federal SRTS funds from California DOT that will be used for a coordinated non-infrastructure program.
Otay and Rice Elementary were the two schools selected to receive money from these grants because demonstration walking audits had been completed for the areas and the two schools had obvious needs for infrastructure improvements that could be enhanced with a non-infrastructure component. The non-infrastructure SRTS grant money will be used for a two-year project that will be directed at Otay and Rice Elementary Schools for the first year and expanded to an additional 15 schools the second year.
The non-infrastructure grant money will allow the CVESD to establish task forces at each school to organize events such as Walking School Buses and Walk to School Days. A bi-lingual campaign will begin in the 2007/2008 school year, where Community Health workers ("Promotoras") will take the message of SRTS programs, incentives, evaluations, and Parent Safety Patrols, into homes, parks, churches, laundromats, and other communal areas with the goal of increasing walking and biking to school by 10%.
The funds will also go towards walking and biking education programs that the teachers will integrate into their everyday lesson plans. Some example lessons that will be used are: learning how to calculate the number of steps they have walked in math class or the different transportation choices in social studies.
Enforcement improvements around the schools will include special enforcement efforts and the help of School Resource Officers to start and run Parent Safety Patrol program.
The infrastructure improvements around Otay and Rice Elementary Schools will occur within 1/4 mile buffers of the school. The improvements will include an offset median, curb extensions, setback limit lines, enhanced striping, prominent crosswalk zebra striping, ADA-complaint pedestrian ramps and non-slip sidewalk grating. Potential driver/pedestrian conflicts will be reduced with crosswalk enhancements and the addition of flashing yellow beacons and School Zone warning signs.
The Chula Vista Elementary School District anticipates that by the end of the 2 year grant period, walking and biking to school will increase from 10 percent at the two initial elementary schools and traffic volumes and childhood obesity will decreased at participating schools.

Treating themselves to a sporty outing, Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis showed up at the 2013 US Open in New York City yesterday (August 26).
Perched in a pair of primo seats in the Emirates Airlines suite at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the "Incredible Burt Wonderstone" babe and her "We're the Millers" fiancé looked to be enjoying the pro tennis action.
Don't you know who we are?! Apparently, an airport security agent had no idea (or didn't care), when Olivia Wilde and fiancee Jason Sudeikis attempted to avoid the TSA security line at LAX Airport in Los Angles Sunday (August 18).
Stepping out for some promotional duties, Olivia Wilde showed up at the Hollywood premiere of her new film "Drinking Buddies" on Thursday night (August 15).
Joined by her fiancé Jason Sudeikis (who flew back from London where he's been plugging "We're the Millers"), the "House" stunner hammed it up for the paparazzi outside the ArcLight Cinemas.
Having a blast overseas, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis showed up at the European premiere of their new flick "We're the Millers" in London, England today (August 14).
The "Horrible Bosses" babe donned a gorgeous floral dress with open-toed heels as she received a warm welcome at the Odeon West End.
Working hard to promote his new movie, Jason Sudeikis visited Kiss FM studios in London, England on Tuesday (August 13).
The "We're the Millers" star walked the city streets in a New York Knicks T-shirt, gray cardigan, and blue jeans as he gave a smile to paparazzi.
It's always a party when he's around, and last night (August 7) Jason Sudeikis showed up at " Jimmy Kimmel Live" for some lively conversation.
The "Horrible Bosses" hunk chatted about his new movie "We're The Millers," however, Kimmel seemed more interested in Jason's lack of olfactory function.
Though a Tuesday opening isn't exactly normative in the film industry, two new flicks hit screens across America last night (August 6).
Showing off their creative prowess, the boys in Mumford & Sons brought in a few friends for their new music video for "Hopeless Wanderer."

The EPT10 Sanremo Poker Festival is underway. Sanremo has been a favourite stop on the EPT circuit since Jason Mercier won his Main Event title there in 2008, which is no wonder considering the beauty outside and the poker action inside.
The Italian Poker Tour Main Event and High Roller Event served as the lead-in to the EPT Main Event, with both crowning new champions yesterday.
The IPT €700 Main Event drew 1,124 players. The prize pool totalled €763,196 with the champion taking home €137,100. The field was packed with tough players including Max Pescatori, Alex Kravchenko, Vitaly Lunkin and Kitty Kuo who tweets constantly while she is playing.

Kuo failed to make the final table and instead entered Day1A of the EPT Sanremo Main Event. The IPT Main Event final table was stacked with tough opponents including the IPT Saint Vincent Main Event runner-up, a WPT Venice runner-up, a Swedish champion, an APPT champ and one player who had already won an EPT Sanremo Side Event. At the end it was PokerStars Supernova Elite player Alessandro di Fenza with all the chips. The Italian pro keeps the trophy on home ground and as a result of a three way final table deal claimed €105,600 in first place prize money.

New York • 50 Cent said he's excited to be part of the new Sundance series "Dream School" because the reality show focuses on uplifting people.
"Dream School," which debuted Monday (10 p.m. EDT), follows a group of high school dropouts who are trying to graduate. 50 Cent appears in the series with filmmaker Oliver Stone and actor David Arquette.
"The actual reality programs that exist right now ... kind of focus on the train wreck, and this show is more about providing opportunity," the 38-year-old rapper said in an interview last week.
The 15 teenagers from the Los Angeles area who appear in the designed "dream school" dropped out of high school because of issues including fighting, financial problems and pregnancy. One transgender student said bullying forced him out of school and another didn't enter the ninth grade because he wanted to care for his cancer-stricken mother.

I have.
During the holiday break, I had the opportunity to spend a week on the beach in the Turks and Caicos islands (but that's another story). One of the books I brought with me and thoroughly enjoyed was The Idea Factory - Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation, by Jon Gertner.
Back in the day when "network" meant "telephone," AT&T either directly or indirectly controlled virtually the whole thing. Bell Laboratories served as the R&D arm of the organization, developing the equipment that Western Electric would produce for AT&T. In addition to the very practical work in things like insulators for cables (which are a big deal when the cable is running under the Atlantic Ocean), there was a small group who conducted the basic work that led to discoveries such as the transistor, practical lasers, charge coupled devices (CCDs), and information theory. Bell Labs built the first communication satellites – Telstar.
While it could be argued that AT&T did not reap all of the benefits possible from its inventions, the way that Bell Labs operated presents some useful lessons for organizations looking to improve their innovative capabilities:

text: Big Bear Lake, CA, March 9, 2012, 3:00pm – The San Bernardino National Forest says a pair of bald eagles have successfully nested and produced a chick near Big Bear Lake. The new chick was born sometime around February 11th and his nickname is Jack, to honor one of the most dedicated eagle count volunteers, Jack Lubecki, who passed away a couple of years ago. The chick was born to a pair of eagles known as Lucy & Ricky who built a nest near Grout Bay in Fawnskin several years ago. To minimize disturbance to the young eagle, the Forest is extending the annual seasonal closure to June 15th. The "Forest Order" prohibits entry into the Grout Bay Picnic Area, Gray's Peak Trailhead and Trail, and the area directly around the bald eagle nest, to allow the chick to grow and learn to fly without human disturbance. For over thirty years, the San Bernardino National Forest has maintained winter closures of its facilities in the Fawnskin area in order to provide disturbance-free perching and foraging areas for bald eagles. Several organizations have come together to help protect this bald eagle nest, including the San Bernardino National Forest, National Forest Association (NFA), California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, San Bernardino County Parks and Recreation Department, and Big Bear Municipal Water District. The Forest Service and Fish & Game plan to use volunteers to both monitor the nest sites and provide the public with opportunities to view the eagles from a safe distance.

caught "mis-speaking"
Blumenthal?s Words Differ From His History - NYTimes.comCandidate's Words on Vietnam Service Differ From History
At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut rose and spoke of an earlier time in his life.
We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam," Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. "And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support."
There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.
The deferments allowed Mr. Blumenthal to complete his studies at Harvard; pursue a graduate fellowship in England; serve as a special assistant to The Washington Post's publisher, Katharine Graham; and ultimately take a job in the Nixon White House.
In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive.
Many politicians have faced questions over their decisions during the Vietnam War, and Mr. Blumenthal, who is seeking the seat being vacated by Senator Christopher J. Dodd, is not alone in staying out of the war.
But what is striking about Mr. Blumenthal's record is the contrast between the many steps he took that allowed him to avoid Vietnam, and the misleading way he often speaks about that period of his life now, especially when he is speaking at veterans' ceremonies or other patriotic events.
Sometimes his remarks have been plainly untrue, as in his speech to the group in Norwalk. At other times, he has used more ambiguous language, but the impression left on audiences can be similar.
In an interview on Monday, the attorney general said that he had misspoken about his service during the Norwalk event and might have misspoken on other occasions. "My intention has always been to be completely clear and accurate and straightforward, out of respect to the veterans who served in Vietnam," he said.
But an examination of his remarks at the ceremonies shows that he does not volunteer that his service never took him overseas. And he describes the hostile reaction directed at veterans coming back from Vietnam, intimating that he was among them.
In 2003, he addressed a rally in Bridgeport, where about 100 military families gathered to express support for American troops overseas. "When we returned, we saw nothing like this," Mr. Blumenthal said. "Let us do better by this generation of men and women."
At a 2008 ceremony in front of the Veterans War Memorial Building in Shelton, he praised the audience for paying tribute to troops fighting abroad, noting that America had not always done so.
"I served during the Vietnam era," he said. "I remember the taunts, the insults, sometimes even physical abuse."
Mr. Blumenthal, 64, is known as a brilliant lawyer who likes to argue cases in court and uses language with power and precision. He is also savvy about the news media and attentive to how he is portrayed in the press.
But the way he speaks about his military service has led to confusion and frequent mischaracterizations of his biography in his home state newspapers. In at least eight newspaper articles published in Connecticut from 2003 to 2009, he is described as having served in Vietnam.
The New Haven Register on July 20, 2006, described him as "a veteran of the Vietnam War," and on April 6, 2007, said that the attorney general had "served in the Marines in Vietnam." On May 26, 2009, The Connecticut Post, a Bridgeport newspaper that is the state's third-largest daily, described Mr. Blumenthal as "a Vietnam veteran." The Shelton Weekly reported on May 23, 2008, that Mr. Blumenthal "was met with applause when he spoke about his experience as a Marine sergeant in Vietnam."
And the idea that he served in Vietnam has become such an accepted part of his public biography that when a national outlet, Slate magazine, produced a profile of Mr. Blumenthal in 2000, it said he had "enlisted in the Marines rather than duck the Vietnam draft."
It does not appear that Mr. Blumenthal ever sought to correct those mistakes.
In the interview, he said he was not certain whether he had seen the stories or whether any steps had been taken to point out the inaccuracies.
"I don't know if we tried to do so or not," he said. He added that he "can't possibly know what is reported in all" the articles that are written about him, given the large number of appearances he makes at military-style events.
He said he had tried to stick to a consistent way of describing his military experience: that he served as a member of the United State Marine Corps Reserve during the Vietnam era.
Asked about the Bridgeport rally, when he told the crowd, "When we returned, we saw nothing like this," Mr. Blumenthal said he did not recall the event.
An aide pointed out that in a different appearance this year, Mr. Blumenthal was forthright about not having gone to war. In a Senate debate in March, he responded to a question about Iran and the use of military force by saying, "Although I did not serve in Vietnam, I have seen firsthand the effects of military action, and no one wants it to be the first resort, nor do we want to mortgage the country's future with a deficit that is ballooning out of control."
On a less serious matter, another flattering but untrue description of Mr. Blumenthal's history has appeared in profiles about him. In two largely favorable profiles, the Slate article and a magazine article in The Hartford Courant in 2004 with which he cooperated, Mr. Blumenthal is described prominently as having served as captain of the swim team at Harvard. Records at the college show that he was never on the team.
Mr. Blumenthal said he did not provide the information to reporters, was unsure how it got into circulation and was "astonished" when he saw it in print.
Mr. Blumenthal has made veterans' issues a centerpiece of his public life and his Senate campaign, but even those who have worked closely with him have gotten the misimpression that he served in Vietnam.
In an interview, Jean Risley, the chairwoman of the Connecticut Vietnam Veterans Memorial Inc., recalled listening to an emotional Mr. Blumenthal offering remarks at the dedication of the memorial. She remembered him describing the indignities that he and other veterans faced when they returned from Vietnam.
"It was a sad moment," she recalled. "He said, 'When we came back, we were spat on; we couldn't wear our uniforms.' It looked like he was sad to me when he said it."
Ms. Risley later telephoned the reporter to say she had checked into Mr. Blumenthal's military background and learned that he had not, in fact, served in Vietnam.
The Vietnam chapter in Mr. Blumenthal's biography has received little attention despite his nearly three decades in Connecticut politics.
But now, after repeatedly shunning opportunities for higher office, Mr. Blumenthal is the man Democrats nationally are depending on to retain the seat they controlled for 30 years under Mr. Dodd, and he is likely to face more intense scrutiny.
After obtaining Mr. Blumenthal's Selective Service records through a Freedom of Information Act request, The New York Times asked David Curry, a professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and an expert on the Vietnam draft, to examine them.
Mr. Curry said the records showed that Mr. Blumenthal had received at least five deferments. Mr. Blumenthal did not dispute that but said he did not know how many deferments he had received.
Mr. Blumenthal grew up in New York City, the son of a successful businessman who ran an import-export company.
As a young man, he attended Riverdale Country School in the Bronx and showed great promise, along with an ability to ingratiate himself with powerful people.
In 1963, he entered Harvard College, where he met Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who served on the faculty there and guided Mr. Blumenthal's senior thesis on the failure of government poverty programs.
He received two student deferments during his undergraduate years there, the records show.
After graduating from Harvard in 1967, military records show, Mr. Blumenthal obtained another educational deferment and headed to Britain, where he filed stories for The Washington Post and attended Trinity College, Cambridge, on a graduate fellowship.
But in early 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson, under pressure over criticism that wealthier young men were avoiding the draft through graduate school, abolished nearly all graduate deferments and sharply increased the number of troops sent to Southeast Asia.
That summer, Mr. Blumenthal's draft classification changed from 2-S, an educational deferment, to 2-A, an occupational deferment — a rare exemption from military service for men who contended that it was in the "national health, safety and interest" for them to remain in their civilian jobs. At the time, he was working as a special assistant to Ms. Graham, whose son Donald he had befriended at Harvard. Half a year later, after the election of President Richard M. Nixon, Mr. Blumenthal went to work in the White House as a senior staff assistant to Mr. Moynihan, who was Nixon's urban affairs adviser.
But at the end of that year, he became eligible for induction after he drew a low number in a draft lottery held on Dec. 1, 1969. His number was 152, and people with numbers as high as 195 could be drafted, according to the Selective Service.
Two months after the lottery, in February 1970, Mr. Blumenthal obtained a second occupational deferment, according to the records. The status of people with occupational deferments, however, was growing shakier, with the war raging and the Nixon administration increasingly uncomfortable with them.
In April 1970, Mr. Blumenthal secured a spot in the Marine Corps Reserve, which was regarded as a safe harbor for those who did not want to go to war.
"The Reserves were not being activated for Vietnam and were seen as a shelter for young privileged men," Mr. Curry said.
But Mr. Blumenthal's campaign manager, Mindy Myers, said Monday that any suggestion that he was ducking the war was unfounded, saying he was engaged in important work. When he worked for Ms. Graham, for example, he helped teach children in a public school in the Anacostia section of Washington, for a project she had started there.
"It's flat wrong to imply that Richard Blumenthal's decisions to take a Fiske Fellowship, teach inner-city schoolchildren and work in the White House for Daniel Patrick Moynihan were decisions to avoid service when in fact, while still eligible for a deferment, he chose to enlist in the Marine Corps Reserves and completed six months of service at Parris Island, S.C., and then six years of service in the Reserves."
Mr. Blumenthal landed in the Fourth Civil Affairs Group in Washington, whose members included the well-connected in Washington. At the time, the unit was not associated with the kind of hardship of traditional fighting units, according to Marine reports from the period and interviews with about a half-dozen men who served in the unit during the Vietnam years.
In the 1970s, the unit's members were dispatched to undertake projects like refurbishing tent decks and showers at a campground for underprivileged Washington children, as well as collecting and distributing toys and games as part of regular Toys for Tots drives.
Robert Cole, a retired lieutenant colonel who did active duty overseas in the 1950s and later joined the unit as a reservist, recalled the young men who joined the unit in the late 1960s and early 1970s. "These kids we were getting in — a lot of them were worried about the draft," he said.
After entering Yale Law School in the fall of 1970, Mr. Blumenthal transferred to a Marine Reserve unit in New Haven, Company C of the Sixth Motor Transport Battalion, Fourth Marine Division, which conducted occasional military drills, as well as participating in Christmas toy drives for children and recycling programs in neighboring communities, according to the unit's command reports from the time.
In 1974, Mr. Blumenthal took a position as a law clerk for Justice Harry C. Blackmun of the United States Supreme Court and transferred back to a Washington unit, where he completed his service.

A true politician what I said isn't what I meant,Anybody that allows people to write things that aren't true and doesn't correct them is just as bad as if he wrote it himself,I would never vote for a slimeball like him.Anybody that pulled every string he could to avoid being drafted should never be able to hold public office,because of his cowardice somebody had to go instead of him.

I get too mad to comment when folks like this surface. He is a FAKE WARRIOR. I am a Vietnam Vet, as are many others on this forum and many Vietnam Era Vets on this forum. I was in country. I volunteered to go. I was an only child, only surviving son to keep family line going, and by law I didn't have to go. It's people like the politician, falsely claiming Vietnam, in country service, that arouse the ire of a true Veteran. With that being said, here are a couple of sights that some folks might find interesting. They pretty much all pertain to PHONIES>>>
Viper's Vietnam Veterans Pages, Military Wannabe's, Fake's and Fraud's
We are engulfed in a national scandal. Unknown to most Americans, there is a virtual epidemic of impostors in this country - countless thousands of men who, since the Vietnam War, have been either inventing a non-existent military service, or inflating their war records. Military decorations are being falsely claimed, and often worn, by men never authorized to receive them -- the kind earned the hard way by genuine war heroes who are on the Wall.
Unless something is done about these Wannabe's their shameless, self-aggrandizing, and costly conduct will not only continue unabated; it will grow. Anyone who thinks such conduct is merely offensive and relatively harmless is misinformed.
There is no middle of the road on this subject you are either one who condones or you are one who finds these actions despicable, the horrible thing is some with their own agendas condone it by not decrying it.
The very real harm that Wannabe's visit upon innocent Americans - is incalculable. A few examples. Innocents, widows, wives and children in particular, experience shame and disillusionment when a Wannabe husband or father is exposed. Laws criminalizing Fake Warrior behavior continue to be un enforced. National security is compromised. Readers of nonfiction books are misled by authors whose credentials are fake.
The legitimate accomplishments of veterans who honorably served America are dishonored and depreciated. Worse, those accomplishments increasingly are shadowed by suspicion among people who conscientiously try to distinguish between the real and the fake. The well has been poisoned by the proliferation of Wannabe's.
To steal from those who "GAVE ALL" there is no defense, for actions like this, these thieves will answer either here on earth or to their Maker and to the ones on the Wall they pilfered from like a vermin in the night.
Thank God for people like Mary and Chuck Schantag at the POWNetwork who have been exposing these Valor Thieves for more than a decade on and off the Internet, they are the most respected source on and off the Internet for information and are used by almost every Wannabe web site on the Internet for requesting information on suspected offenders, and by many Veteran Organizations seeking information on suspected fakes.
Thank you Mary and Chuck for your dedication to preserving the Valor of those who earned it and especially for those who are on the black granite Wall who cannot speak out for themselves, God Bless you. (From Viper's page)
I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted their best, men who suffered and sacrificed, who were stripped raw, right down to their humanity. I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate. But I know them in a way I know no other men. I have never given anyone such trust. They were willing to guard something more precious than my life. They would have carried my reputation, the memory of me. It was part of the bargain we all made, the reason we were so willing to die for one another. (From Viper's page)
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
I remember that during that era it was very difficult in my area to get into the guard or reserve. You had to know someone was the common saying then. I would have much more respect for this man if he had gone to Canada to avoid Nam. That would have been more honest.
Having been a CT resident from the days of Blumie's ascent to power, I still stay connected with CT politics even though I'm a continent away.
Blumenthal is a self-righteous stuffed shirt. I'm not the first one to say it, but about the most dangerous place to be in CT is between Blumenthal and a camera lens.
Spend a few minutes reading the responses to the article - see what the vast majority of real veterans of the Viet Nam war think about this poseur.
The funny thing is that Blumie was doing fine even without distorting his military service. He's never faced a serious challenge to re-election since he became the state AG.
How utterly fitting that that bastion of liberalism, the New York Times, did the research and broke the story. I have to wonder if Elliot Spitzer (former neighbor state rival for the spotlight) dropped a dme and maybe even funded the dirt-digging.

I can see that maybe he caught some flak from being in uniform. I can maybe see that he used 'we' in the sense of 'we as a nation.' At the very least he is an idiot, more likely is purposely distorting his record. Now he's caught and is trying to shovel it up.

This isn't the first "public figure" I've seen making similar statements (some even worse!) It's one thing to try to impress a girl at a bar with your (made up) tales of daring-do (though it's still wrong); it's quite another to do it in public and attempt to use it to bolster your own "celebrity." Do these people not think that they will be caught in this, the age of instant and total information? The fact that there are several organizations dedicated to outing fake vets and fake "cool guys" should be enough to deter such fabrications, no? Well, no, apparently not...
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.

LA Times' Andrew Malcolm still unsure how to read polling results
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Here's Laura Bush's former flak, doing his usual polling pratfall, as he desperately tries to spin Obama's job approval [emphasis added]:
a new Gallup Poll finds, Obama's public approval rating has suddenly fallen to the worst level since he took office however many years ago that seems. He was right around 70% in January of 2009.
Today, Gallup reports, the ex-senator has plunged to a 46% approval rating.
How big of a fall did Obama suffer in the most recent Gallup three-day poll? That's right, his approval rating fell from 48 percent to 46 percent, which of course, falls within Gallup's margin of error.
So how did Malcolm spin the barely-there, 2-point decline? According to Malcolm, Obama's job approval has plunged. It plunged from 48 to 46 percent. It's part of a "dramatic poll drop."
UPDATED: Note the Malcolm headline:
New Gallup Poll finds Americans suddenly souring more on Obama; Now, why could that be?
This is almost too dumb for words. Obama's approval ratings has basically fallen within a three or four point range for the last seven months. But according to Malcolm, there's been a sudden move by the public.
Except that, of course, there hasn't been.

AIDS PSA Sends Fake Texts From Date's Previous Partners [Video]
New York has the highest reported incidence of the disease in the U.S. so Red Hot.org devised a way to remind people to practice safe sex.
New York has the highest incidence of reported AIDS cases in the United States. To raise awareness of this issue, not-for-profit international organization Red Hot, which is dedicated to fighting AIDS through pop culture, wanted to create a new way to remind New Yorkers to practice safe sex.
They used an actress as bait and sent her into a bar to chat to guys and get their phone number. The men were then sent a series of fictional text messages from the woman's previous partners.
The final message was a reminder to practice safe sex: 'Don't get more than their number. Protect yourself.' This was then followed by the Red Hot organization logo and a link to their website, revealing to the recipient that they were part of a clever campaign. You can check out the 'Spreading the word, not the disease' PSA below:

If you were like me last week, you were too wrapped up in the usual hoopla surrounding the 12 days of Columbus Day to notice the huge celebrity breakup that occurred. No, I don't mean the Danny DeVito-Rhea Perlman split (though that was a bummer); we mean the break up of Anonymous and WikiLeaks.
If your reaction was "The break up of who and whom?" (Hi mom!) then this article is for you. I've put together a little mock Q&A to help explain the situation for those not hip to this story.
Who are WikiLeaks and Anonymous? Some sort of rap music couple?
No. They're two organizations that used to get along that have had a falling out.
Ah. OK, then. So, what is StikyLeaks?
WikiLeaks, mom. WikiLeaks is an organization that publishes secret and classified information from anonymous sources.
Oh, you mean like spoilers for Breaking Bad or something?
No. More like secret U.S. diplomatic cables, millions of Syrian government emails and the contents of Sarah Palin's Yahoo account (hint: she's keeping an eye on Russia).
Isn't that illegal?
Well, some people think so and want to prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under the Espionage Act; his fear of being prosecuted in the US is one reason why he's currently hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
Why is he hiding there? Is he from Ecuador? Or Britain?
Neither, he's from Australia, but Sweden wants him extradited in order to face sexual assault charges, which he's fighting because he's worried that they will send him to the U.S. to be prosecuted for publishing documents on WikiLeaks. It's a whole other thing we don't have time to get into here.
Too bad. It sounds juicy.
Yeah, it's a circus. But back to our original story, Anonymous is a group...
Before you continue, what's Anonymous' real name?
It's Anonymous.
You can't tell me their real name?
I just did; it's Anonymous.
Seriously, you won't tell me?
Listen, Costello, we don't have time for shenanigans. Trust us, that's their name.
Ok, sorry. Please continue.

A good indy will hook up a Verus scanner, or equivalent, and graph every variable he can, then save the graphs. There are roughly 40 parameters which can be graphed. By comparing what happens and when, especially just as the idle smooths out, he will see what I suspect. I don't know if you have SAE certified techs in Canada, I believe you do. Look for someone who has what's called L1 certification. He'll figure it out.
Expect the cost to be less than $5000.
PLEEEEEEEEEASE for the sake of everything that's holy, I beg you please do guess what it could be!
I don't have an alternative to the dealer, because I'm not in Canada at this moment. My location states Canada, etcetera but I'm in the etcetera right now, South Korea to be specific for business purposes. Garages and technicians here seem to be specialized only in Hyundai/Kia and there is a seriously scary amount of Hyundai/Kia cars. So my only option is to either 1. tell the dealer what to do or 2. the dealer knows what to do. But the latter option hasn't worked so far for more than three years. So right now, I'm just blindly throwing parts at the vehicle hoping it would be fixed. I'm more discouraged now though at your comment that even if I have the valve train replaced I will probably leave with the same problem. Would I have to replace the whole head again?
Please tell me what should be done. You're my only hope.

Coca-Cola Plant Fizzing Out
Published March 17th, 2011
Loading Video...
Coca-Cola is fizzing out one of it's plants in north central Florida. The bottled water plant in High Springs is closing, leaving most of it's employees unrefreshed and out of work. 71 workers were told early this week that the plant would in fact be closing, after a potential buyer fell through. The plant has been downsizing for the last two years to try and stay afloat, but now Gilchrist County is officially losing it's biggest taxpayer.
Coca-Cola spokesperson Charlie Sutlive said in a statement to TV 20 that the prospective buyer backed out and they are giving severance packages to the remaining employees. The plant will close at the end of this month.
