My Best Birth
Hello all,
What do you say to people when you line up all the research that defends the safety of homebirth, and the person you're talking to says: "well, I heard that if a woman chooses to give birth at home, and then needs to be transferred to the hospital, and the baby dies at the hospital, the death counts as a hospital death....so who KNOWS if homebirth is REALLY safe?!?"
Please help me. I…

On August 7, Ray Comfort from Living Waters Ministry released another "film" on YouTube. This time it is a 38-minute anti-evolution film called, "Evolution vs. God: Shaking The Foundations of Faith." As with his last two films, I watched it so you don't have to.
Like his previous YouTube films, "The 180 Movie" and "Genius: The Movie," Comfort relies mostly on his signature Q&A technique of asking mostly unsuspecting young people a series of misleading and leading questions. As always, he edits the street interviews in a rather choppy fashion so that we are not sure how many questions were actually asked, what order they were asked in, or even if the answers given matched the questions seemingly being asked.
Where this film breaks from Comfort's usual routine is that instead of finding the dumbest people on the planet, Comfort asks seemingly intelligent college students and even a small handful of expert biologists like PZ Myers.
Comfort wants his victims to present him with one piece of "observable" evidence of one creature evolving into another creature. He insists that the evolving creatures must be different in "kind." Basically, he is demanding to see a cat magically transform into a dog right before his eyes.
While watching the film, I was at first confused as to why someone like PZ Myers didn't
attempt to inform Comfort that evolution didn't work that way and then present some really good evidence for evolution like the telomeres of chromosome 2. But then it occurred to me that he probably did but that his longer explanation was almost certainly lost on the cutting room floor.
What was not left on the cutting room floor however, was Comfort's famous morality quiz. He asks his interviewees if they have ever lied, stole, blasphemed, or looked at someone with lust. Then he pronounces them evil sinners and informs them that God being such a swell judge tortured and killed his own son so that they could get off the hook – you know, like any good judge would do. – Apparently anyone can simply accept the sentence of a murderer and a judge should gladly release the murderer back on the street. Okay, Comfort obviously didn't phrase it like that, but that was the gist of his ridiculous argument.
Ironically enough, while Comfort insinuates in the film that atheists have no moral problem lying, he does more than his fair share of attempting to deceive people in this film and with this film. Still, this film was quite a bit better than his last two. Despite being wrong about the facts, this film was more persuasive than his previous films.
It also helped that he actually interviewed smart people this time -- although since he mislead them, lied to them, and edited the Hell out of them, I don't think it makes that much of a difference.
Since Comfort feels comfortable quoting prominent atheists and scientists throughout his "Evolution vs. God" movie it is only fair that I end this review with a quote from Stephen Hawking:
"There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works."

hopefully he can help sell our program!!
Craig Brackens is starting to bleed cardinal and gold and he is not even here yet. Hopefully Brackens can sell the other two.
Clones Rule
I also think now might be a good time to bring in Negadu.
Now we need the fans to show up not just in number, but be loud. Create a great game day atmosphere. Leave the boo's at home. Show how much we support ISU teams. Even if your ****** at Mac or crew remember...the future of our basketball program will be listening.....
God Bless Craig Brackins. Honestly, I love this kid already. Make it happen buddy, get some good teammates for yourself, and let's see this happen.
Wow, I love this guy! He must be mature beyond his years, or our coaching staff really understands how to sell a program...or BOTH! Oh I can't wait for basketball, bring on my ESPN full court package!
I think this just solidified that Stinnet and McFarland will commit to ISU. Brackins being present and already committed will make it difficult to say no. How great will it be to have 3 guys that have all played together before all playing for ISU? It has to be a huge advantage.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
Brackins is going to visit with his teammates and now he's God? What's the big deal? I'm sure it was the staff's idea and a no-brainer at that. It's a great idea, and will probably work, but it's pretty standard strategy.
We just got beat by Iowa in Football. We play the defending National Champs in football. Brackins comming to visit is great. Let us feel good about something.
Isn't Walker going to Brewster as well? or am I imagining that? also I hope we get all 3!
Isn't Walker coming in that week too?
Could be friggin' huge...
I didn't think we had enough scholarships for all 3.
We don't, but we've been told that "they'll make it work" whatever that means.
To sew up the class so early means more time allotted to team development.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
My guess on the scholy questions (absolutely no inside info)...
When Alex Thompson was transfering, there was some talk about he comming without a scholarship (ie. walking on). He is on scholarship now, but maybe there was an agreement with Alex & family if ISU needed the scholarship in a year or two that Alex would give his up.
Again, I don't know if that is true or false, but it is a possibility.

|Wauneta native Ted Fye places second in 2012 National Corn Yield Contest
|Written by Wauneta Breeze

A Wauneta native has been honored as one of 18 national winners in the 2012 National Corn Yield Contest sponsored annually by the National Corn Growers Association.
Harold Rother Farms Inc. of Arapahoe, Colo., placed second in the nation in the No-Till/Strip-Till Irrigated Class with a yield of 324.4291 bushels per acre. The hybrid used in the winning field was Pioneer P1625HR.
The 2012 competition included 8,263 growers from 46 states. The contest consists of six classes and, in the national competition, three placings are awarded within each class. The 18 national winners represented 13 states.
The average yield among national winners was 316.3 bushels per acre—greater than the 2012 U.S. average of 122.3 bushels per acre. Nine of the national winners recorded yields of 300 bushels or more per acre.
"Despite the fact that 2012 was a challenging production year, individual growers continued to provide a showcase for American production agriculture," said NCGA Chairman Garry Niemeyer, a corn grower from Auburn, Ill. "While the national corn yield average declined more than 24 bushels per acre in 2012, the average yield in this year's contest actually increased by more than three bushels per acre as compared to 2011."
"That's why this contest and its focus on safe, advanced corn production methods are so important," Niemeyer continued. "The top yield in this year's contest—a tremendous 384.4 bushels per acre achieved by David Hula of Charles City, Va.,—is a testament to these efforts.
Farmers are encouraged through the contest to utilize new, efficient production techniques. Agronomic data gleaned from the contest reveal the following:
The National Corn Yield Contest began in 1965 with 20 entries from three states. The highest overall yield was 218.9 bushels per acre, while the national yield average was in the mid-60 bushel-per-acre range.
The winners were recognized March 1 at the 2013 Commodity Classic—the premier convention and trade show of the U.S. corn, soybean, sorghum and wheat industries—held in Kissimmee, Fla. For a complete list of winners and for more information about NCYC, visit the NCGA Web site at www.ncga.com.
The National Corn Growers Association represents more than 38,000 members, 48 affiliated state corn grower and checkoff organizations, and hundreds of thousands of growers who contribute to state checkoff programs.

Dodgers Star James Loney Arrested for Drunk Driving
A few weeks ago, James Loney, the star first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was involved in a bizarre DUI accident, but his employers did not find out about the incident until recently, thanks to an anonymous phone call to the team's executive office.
According to a recent post from the Los Angeles Times, Loney was driving his 2009 Maserati on California's famed 101 Freeway when his car allegedly sideswiped three other cars, and eventually came to a complete stop in the fast lane of a busy highway.
Sources indicate that the incident took place in the early evening in Sherman Oaks, California. The 27-year-old Loney was arrested on the scene by police officers, but not before he engaged in some reportedly bizarre behavior.
After Loney struck the three vehicles—a Mini Cooper, a Toyota Prius, and a Mercedes Benz—the three drivers of the other cars attempted to speak with Loney, who had parked his car in the fast lane of the freeway after the collisions.
Their efforts, however, were futile, as Loney appeared to be unconscious, or at the very least, unresponsive to the requests of the other drivers.
Once he awoke, though, the police report claims that Loney attempted to flee the scene, although he did not get very far, given his arrest shortly after the collisions.
After he was arrested, sources indicate that Loney's unusual behavior at the scene of the accident prompted paramedics to transport him to a nearby hospital, where he eventually recovered his senses without further incident.
An arresting officer remarked that Loney displayed "objective symptoms of being intoxicated or under the influence of something," although one source told the Los Angeles Times that a breathalyzer test and a blood test both came back negative for signs of intoxication.
However, in response to this claim, a California Highway Patrol officer claimed that an investigation into the results of Loney's blood test had not yet been completed.
Of course, while this news means that Loney will have to battle possible DUI charges in court, it seems that the Dodgers do not intend to punish Loney by revoking their contract offer, despite the fact that they only recently learned of the incident.
The Dodgers' general manager, Ned Colleti, said that the team still planned to tender a new contract to Loney, who is up for a new deal, unless an internal investigation reveals new details about the arrest.
In the absence of new information, though, Colleti seems willing to maintain the team's ties with James Loney, who has been a revelation in recent years as an upcoming young star for a disappointing team.
For his part, Loney is likely eager to start making headlines for his play on the baseball diamond, not his reckless driving.

Women may be able to begin training as Army Rangers by mid-2015, and as Navy SEALs a year later under broad plans Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is approving that would slowly bring women into thousands of combat jobs, including those in the country�s elite special operations forces, according to details of the plans submitted to Hagel that were obtained by The Associated Press. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered the military to move ahead with a plan to tear down the remaining walls that have prevented women from holding combat positions.
The plan says women could start training as Army Rangers by mid-2015 and as Navy SEALs a year later.
The move follows revelations of a startling number of sexual assaults in the armed forces.

Geek Out Loud is back. 'Nuff Said? Not even barely. How about Derek Russell (reluctant co-host)? E-mails! Muppets! Summer 2011! TRON! and more. It's a fitting way to return to your safe place to geek out…this IS THE GEEK OUT LOUD PODCAST!
2 comments
Hi! I'm a new listener, heard about this on The Star Wars Report. You guys are pretty funny and laid-back, and cover a good variety of topics. I'm looking forward to future episodes! Your opinion of Tron: Legacy is spot-on.
OK, it's a good thing I heard the sermon first, or otherwise I don't know if I would be able to forgive you for ragging on Doctor Who so much! ;) LOL! Doctor Who is my favorite show on the air right now. I like it much better than Clone Wars! Just my opinion, though.
I highly recommend that Derek try the Season 4 episodes "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead." (It's a two-parter.) If he likes that, then he should move on to Season 5, because the guy who wrote that runs the show starting in Season 5!
Regarding Muppets: Yes, there has been a difficult search for a new voice for Rowlf. Bill Barretta (also Bobo the Bear, Pepe the Prawn, and the Swedish Chef) can't quite get him nailed down. You're right, though, he needs to be there. The Muppet movies just haven't felt right without him. And it looks like he'll be part of the core cast again!
(Rowlf did have a brief worldless cameo, playing the piano at Fozziwig's party, in Christmas Carol.)
I completely agree with you about Tron: Legacy. I think critics only like blockbuster movies if the person making them is somehow deeply politically collected, because some filmmakers just get a free pass no matter what, while other filmmakers can't do anything right in the critics' eyes!
What I especially liked about Legacy is that it felt like a sequel to an '80s movie as though it were actually produced in the '80s. INDIANA JONES AND THE OVERLY LONG TITLE ABOUT THE CRYSTAL SKULL felt completely like a 2008 movie, to its detriment. Legacy, on the other hand, feels like it's cut from the same cloth.
I'm glad that the Master Control Program wasn't resurrected for this movie. That would have been a cliche. Also, I don't know if I would have killed off Flynn, but I think bringing him back would be a mistake – it would undermine the impact of this movie.
Anyway, the good news is that Disnay has hired some writers to work on a TRON 3 script!
So, those are my thoughts. Keep up the great job! I can't wait to listen to episode #50!

Ziegfeld Follies Of 1927
It All Belongs To Me
Take a look at the flower in my buttonhole
Take a look-see and ask me why it's there
Can't you see that I'm all dressed up to take a stroll?
Can't you tell that there's something in the air?
I've got a date, can't hardly wait
I'd like to bet she won't be late
Here she comes, come on and meet
A hundred pounds of what is mighty sweet
And it all belongs to me
Flashing eyes and how they roll
A disposition like a sugar bowl
And it all belongs to me
That pretty baby face
That bunch of style and grace
Should be in Tiff'ny's window
In a platinum jewel case
Hey there, you, you'll get in dutch
I'll let you look but then you mustn't touch
For it all belongs to me
Here she comes, come on and meet
A hundred pounds of what is mighty sweet
And it all belongs to me
Rosy cheeks, red hot lips
A million dollars worth of flying hips
And it all belongs to me
Those lips that I desire
Are like electric wire
She kissed a tree last summer
She started a forest fire
I'm in love with what she's got
And what she's got, she's got an awful lot
And it all belongs to me

Physicians have begun to receive a questionnaire, now being circulated by the National Anti-Vivisection Society with a view to obtaining opinions that will be used to bolster the antivivisectionist cause. The circular letter which accompanies the questionnaire shrewdly insinuates that such economic depression as now affects physicians is largely due to "the natural indignation of all fair-minded people at the revolting cruelties to conscious, defenseless animals, especially to dogs." The letter also seems to be planned to incite physicians to opposition against organized medicine. Thus, it says:
It is not fair that the great majority of physicians should see their practice and income decreasing as a result of cruelty which is repugnant to them, but which they appear to the general public to approve and support, because medical societies to which they belong officially defend such practices.
Notwithstanding the poor English in which this statement is couched, its purport is

Voters Approve Local Option Sales Tax
(Le Mars) -- Voters approve the extension of the Local Options Sales Tax, and Le Mars says yes to the Hotel/Motel tax. By a wide margin, voters of Plymouth County agreed to continue the one percent local option sales tax, of which a portion of the money raised is slated for the expansion of the Floyd Valley Hospital. Voters approved the measure by a county-wide average of 70 percent. More than 1500 people voted from each community and rural areas, and with the exception of Craig, each easily passed the measure. Craig was the only community to reject the one percent local options sales tax.
The city of Le Mars decided to continue the Hotel/Motel tax. By a margin of 83 percent to 17 percent, voters in each of the three precincts approved the tax on visitors to our community.

RailRiders punch ticket with fans
Local baseball fans will get used to the new name for the region's Triple-A baseball team, regardless of whether it was their first choice.
That's not entirely clear because SWB Yankees LLC, owner of the International League franchise, trademarked "RailRiders" more than a week before fans finished voting on six finalists. The new name will replace "Yankees," which the team has carried since affiliating with the New York Yankees in 2007.
The most important thing about the new name is that it is a crucial part of a new era of professional baseball in the region.
For the first time since its acquisition for the 1989 season, the franchise is not owned by the public. It was acquired by SWB Yankees LLC as part of a larger deal that includes the ongoing reconstruction of PNC Field, which will reopen in April and remain public property.
Despite being highly successful on the field, the local Yankees have experienced steadily declining attendance following a record inaugural year in 2007. Part of that undoubtedly was due to controversy surrounding the sale of the team and concern about its potential to move. Part was due to a more corporate feel that SWB Yankees brought to the operation, as opposed to the community-oriented feel that was fostered under public operation.
After striking the deal with Lackawanna County to rebuild the stadium, SWB Yankees have strived to rekindle that community involvement. About 1,200 fans showed up on a single October day to sign the last steel beam for the $43.3 million reconstruction project. Management announced a long roster of game-night promotions that had been missing for most of SWB Yankees' tenure. And the naming contest drew significant interest, in terms of entries and votes. The chosen name reflects the area's history and possibly, its future, as efforts continue to restore passenger rail service to New York City.
Not that everything has been resolved. In addition to filing for a "RailRiders" trademark, the franchise also applied for a trademark for "Porcupines," and unveiled a logo with the RailRiders name and porcupine wearing a train conductor's outfit. What's up with that?

I have a great concern that the TMNT fan boys are not heard
Fan requests are taken into account, but we don't make all of the
business decisions in the licensing/game/film/TV business. Some
concessions must be made in the course of doing business and Peter
Laird, TMNT co-creator and owner, has his own ideas of how he wants
his characters presented in the present day (which aren't going to
coincide with every fan's personal desires). He's well aware this
makes many people unhappy, but the passion you have for the '80s
cartoon is the same type of passion that he has for the original comic
book and 2003 cartoon series and this is why he wants to focus on
those specific universes when he can.
I am afraid that TMNT will just fade away again until a new
cartoon reappears like it did in 2003.
That's unavoidable. Without a major presence such as a TV series or
movie (which we fortunately have in production), a cast of characters
aren't going to be on the general public's mind.
I have always been greatly concerned with the past TMNT games that
Ubisoft has published leading down a very narrow slope.
It's difficult for video game companies to invest/risk a lot of money
into a game that features characters that they do not own. Licensed
games are always on tight budgets and fast production schedules. That
is making excuses, but it's also a fact that can make a licensed game
more challenging to produce than a non-licensed game.
I will say that the TMNT Turtles in Time Reshelled remake of the
Arcade game was fantastic
We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed it.
I will not bore you with tons of details due to the fact I am sure
that this is not the first email, letter, & phone call complaint
that has been received
Actually, your e-mail is the first complaint we've received about the
game thus far.
Plenty of 80s cartoon icons from TMNT as well as Toys were missing
out of this game.
That's where we get back to budget and time constraints. Ubisoft
included as many characters as they felt they could based on the funds/
timeline they had to produce the game.
My case in point is being a huge fan of TMNT and to be insulted with
this game by Ubisoft (TMNT SmashUP) is a slap in the face.
We're sorry that you're insulted - that was no one's intention. We
think the game is fun and that's all it was meant to be.
This shows me that Mirage doesn't show much concern for their creation
You're entitled to your opinion - but we utterly disagree with that
This is not the whole 25 years of TMNT.... and for their fans which
would be more than happy to buy a well done product representing the
history of TMNT.
As far as I know, Smash-Up was never intended to be an all-
encompassing 25th anniversary game that featured characters throughout
all incarnations of the TMNT universes. Did you see the game marketed
as such?
This concerns me even more for the new TMNT (real live action)
coming out and if it is really going to represent TMNT license as a
If your concerned with any secondary '80s cartoon characters (Krang,
Bebop, Rocksteady, Irma, Verne, etc) being featured in the new film,
they will not be. The plan at this time is to base the movie on the
first 12 TMNT comic books by Eastman and Laird, not the '80s cartoon
So I ask the creators of TMNT Lore, will my love for TMNT be
rekindled in the coming years or should I just drop my love for TMNT
completely and move on?
That's a question that only you can answer. If your decision is based
entirely on the revival of '80s cartoon/toy characters, I'm afraid you
should move on, because Peter Laird wants to see his characters
portrayed as he and Kevin created them.
Thanks for writing!
Dan Berger
Mirage Studios' Official Web Dude
***This an email conversation I had with someone that works at Mirage Studios about the TMNT FailUP game and a few other things***
I do thank you for your very detailed reply and paying very close attention to the concerns I had.
You're most welcome.
I try to show that everyone at Mirage cares very much about the TMNT and their fans.
Thank you for stating your criticism in a civil manner - I really appreciate that.
I do not wish to sound like I was a fanyboy of just the 80s cartoon and really I wished the first cartoon series really represented the style & storyline of the comicbooks.
I read some of the comments on Ubisoft's forum, and that seemed to be the consensus complaint. I'm sorry for lumping you into that.
I am very eager about the new movie and the statement of the new movie based off of the first 12 comics in the TMNT series. This can be very promising and I will more than likely watch it.
We hope you'll enjoy it if you see it.
As far as the game goes (TMNT SmashUP) if you do watch the developer interviews about the game you will see various verbal promises to bring some of these characters and features to life.
I'm sorry to hear that and on behalf of Mirage, I sincerely apologize for any misleading information that was given. It is possible that Ubisoft truly intended to include some of the '80s characters in the game and just ran out of time/money. I did watch a few of their promo vids, but I didn't watch all of them (I'm a part-time employee, so my time here is short).
Also, the box art logo of the game shows the old cartoon logo but the character art on the front is based upon the later characters. This is obviously a way to reel old and new fans alike to buy it.
That is unfortunate.
Really the 2 big and HUGE complaints about the game is Ubisoft has the complete rights to all of those character material and none of it was included. The number 2 reason was they added 3 Rabbid characters in the game when more TMNT characters could of been added.
I haven't seen the finished game yet (or the box) - but I suspect the Rabbid models were faster to create and thus more financially feasible (particularly if they use the same pieces.)
The main delightful think I get out of that game is the way the story was told like the old comic book style in the arcade mode.
We're happy to hear you dug it. Jim Lawson and Eric Talbot really busted their butts to do all of that on deadline.
Well I do thank you once again for your time and the other question I had with the Turtles Action figures is "Where are they?"
Wal-Mart and Target have dropped the TMNT line, so about the only major chain to find them now is Toys R Us.
Any further plans for more figures aside from the 25th anniversary orginal released figures?
The Party Wagon is shipping now and available in some areas (via Toys R Us). Playmates Toys told me the final four figures will be shipping by mid-October. Without Wal-Mart and Target on board, they haven't announced any plans to do more (those two chains account for 40% or more of sales, so losing them was a real dagger in the line). Thanks for writing!

Tomintoul 10 Year Old Reviews
2 Customer Reviews
Tomintoul-10 reminds me of an unsigned indie band, compared to say some commercial pop of the other speysides. It's not as finessed, not as distinctly fruity or sweet and the flavours run together a bit, but it's energetic and spicy. Further more, it improves the more you drink it rather.
When malts were still an interest instead of an obsession, I had this when I was on holiday in the Braemar area. To this day, even after old Highland Parks, eccentric Dalmores and rare Auchentoshans, I have not had a dram as uniquely, unassumingly pleasurable as this was when mixed with water straight from the tap.

Yesterday, elusive singer-songwriter The Weeknd came out from hiding to perform an hourlong set at Coachella 2012 festival.
During the set, Abel Tesfaye ran through cuts including "Crew Love," "Wicked Games," "Dirty Diana" and "Glass Table Girls." According to L.A. Times, he performed mostly with a full band and "filled with atmospheres pulled out of shadows and beats that split the difference between modern hip-hop and bedroom soul."
The Toronto, Canada singer recently announced his first U.S. tour, which began with his performance at Coachella. He will next appear at Brooklyn, New York's Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 25th.
Watch The Weeknd's full Coachella performance below (via Yardie).

Any system exists in some *context* (meta level, environment etc.) which influences in one or another way its behavior and semantics. So it is not possible to hold ALL the data independent of what kind of DBMS you use.

Hello to you,
I have an Iron / HB related unexplained matter that I wish to understand how it is possible - Will very much appreciate a possible serious explanation to that.
Enclosed is a summary of blood tests results from several periodical test taken. last one this week - (yellow are downs, green are ups) Generally, from 2008 to 2013 diet was vegetarian (non-heme iron supplements where consumed)
in the last 5 month, foods reach in Heme iron (such as mussels, much higher than beef steaks..) were consumed. Cycling performance was not bad at all and expected to see an increase in Iron, HB, HTC..
But instead - these went down to 5 years low.. how can this be.. ??
( Also, I'm 70kg and consume over 100 gr of whole protein daily - do not understand what's this LOW protein total mean )
Thanks a lot!

According to a patent application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, Motorola has a technology that tattoos a microphone onto a person's throat. The microphone, which comes with a power supply, an antenna, a receiver and an optional display, would pair with mobile devices over Bluetooth.
Most likely, the "tattoo" would be a version of some extremely thin electronic device that adheres to a person's skin, as opposed to being woven into it.
Skin Tattoo Takes Body Temperature
Because the microphone is on the throat, it would pick up vibrations from the person's voice box when she spoke. The close proximity of mic to sound would eliminate background noise that would typically interfere with a call or a voice command.
The patent says that the tattoo can also work with animals, by applying the device to a collar or band. I'm reminded of the talking dogs in the movie, "Up." Perhaps we'll really be able to communicate with our pets one day.
First Electronic Tattoo Printed Onto Skin
But wait, there's more. Motorola's throat tattoo will double as a lie detector.
According to the patent: "…The electronic skin tattoo 200 can further include a galvanic skin response detector to detect skin resistance of a user. It is contemplated that a user that may be nervous or engaged in speaking falsehoods may exhibit different galvanic skin response than a more confident, truth telling individual."

In one year, more people are dying from cancer. When in fact cancer deaths could be prevented. Within a year, at least 13,000 cancer deaths could be prevented, according to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).
This was discovered after researchers conducted a survey that showed that a third of British people believe cancer is a matter of destiny and pessimistic about the possibility of life after cancer.
Approximately 157,000 people die in the UK each year. Meanwhile, according to the results obtained by WCRF, 28 percent of people found that it is less likely for cancer patients to survive.
It is a myth in many people when they have cancer. When in fact there are many ways you can do to cure cancer and prevent death.
"These results are very worrying because most people do not realize they can do a lot of things to prevent cancer deaths," says Dr Kate Allen, executive director of the WCRF, as reported by BBC.
Allen said some that there are some things you can do to reduce the risk of patient death or even prevent cancer, among others, by eating healthy foods, being physically active and maintaining weight loss. By doing these ways, one-third of cancer deaths could have been prevented.
Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and WCRF recommends that the government help dismantle the myths surrounding cancer. Including the myth that cancer is a health problem, only suffered by the rich, only in developing countries, and certain cancer patients will die. You should also know the basic steps to prevent cancer.

So now let's go back to Don's comment:
Is this true? I did not hear a "no" in what Al said. What goes in the blank:Quote:
This being said, I am at a loss to explain how or why the current Board of Directors at the June meeting could vote to eliminate usage of the PPA Certified logo and the term PPA Certified, by September 1, 2007, in favor of the "generic" term Certified Professional Photographer or CPP. This would be like Microsoft Certified being reduce to the term "Certified Database Professional". PPA has spent millions of dollars in brand recognition and now is eliminating that brand from a very popular consumer awareness program. In addition, as of Sept 1 of this year, the recognition of PPA Certified will no longer be used in any PPA publications. The Degree recognitions will once again come first, followed by the generic term CPP.

I got myself a bike for Christmas in the hopes of getting back into shape. I also have an 18 month old son and was wanting to take him on trips with me so bought myself a car seat for the back of my bike. Exactly this one:
Unfortunately when I used it for the first time, I completely fell over onto my side with the bike. It doesn't help that I'm not in the greatest shape and I'm extremely short. I hadn't imagined it'd be any trouble but it's so unstable and hard to balance. Thankfully where I bought it from sent me a gift card so I can exchange it for a different seat, but I've been looking more into trailers, this one to be exact:
Are they easy to use?? I don't want to buy one if it's not any easier. From what I've read a lot of people have said it's easy to pull, but figured I'd ask on here to be sure.
Thanks in advance!

NYC revelers usher in '09 with cheer, optimism
NEW YORK Despite months of economic gloom, revelers throughout the country welcomed the new year with merrymaking and even optimism, though some festivities fell to hard times and others were subdued.
"The worst part of last year was probably trying to get through financially," said Liza Mazzotte, a composer who had come from California to join the hundreds of thousands of celebrants in frigid Times Square to see the Waterford crystal ball drop. "I'm not worried about what I lost. I'm going to be looking to the future."
As the clock struck midnight Wednesday, a ton of confetti fluttered down on the revelers bundled up in fur hats, coats and sleeping bags. Fireworks burst atop the tower where the ball was lowered. Noisemakers screeched, partygoers kissed and cheers echoed through the corridors of midtown Manhattan.
Former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton, expected to be secretary of state in President-elect Barack Obama's administration, joined Mayor Michael Bloomberg to lower the ball atop 1 Times Square for the 60-second countdown to midnight.
The National Weather Service said the midnight temperature at Central Park, just blocks from Times Square, was 18 degrees and the 16 mph wind blowing through the urban canyons made the wind chill just 3 degrees.
The temperature had fallen a couple of degrees when city sanitation crews started sweeping up the confetti and other party trash Thursday morning. Last year, crews removed more than 40 tons of garbage.
While that cleanup was under way, thousands of people gathered in Pasadena, Calif., along the route of Thursday's Rose Parade.
This year's grand marshal was 82-year-old actress and recent "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Cloris Leachman. The parade featured 21 marching bands and 18 equestrian units along the 5 1/2-mile route.
"It's been a dream to come through here. I just love the flowers." said Gail Braun who traveled from her home in Pasadena, Md., to see the Rose Parade in the same-named Pasadena, Calif.
Thousands of other celebrants line the streets of Philadelphia for the annual Mummers Parade, which features about 15,000 people in elaborate costumes dancing and parading along a 2 1/2-mile route.
"Philadelphia is one of the few cities where New Year's Day is bigger than New Year's Eve," said resident Brian Castello, 48.
Many other New Year's Eve traditions around the country were in place, but the nation's economic troubles made many people less interested in giving 2008 an expensive send-off. Public celebrations were canceled in communities from Louisville, Ky., to Reno, Nev., and promoters in Miami Beach, Fla., reported slower ticket sales than expected for celebrity-studded parties that they say would have sold out in past years.
But New York's celebration didn't slow down. Five minutes before midnight, 1,000 balloons with the words "Joy," "Hope" and "2009" were released from rooftops in the area. The Waterford crystal-covered ball – 12 feet in diameter and weighing nearly 12,000 pounds – was lowered as the crowd erupted in cheers.
Sam Tenorio and his family drove to New York from Orlando, Fla., so his teenage daughter Brianna could see the Jonas Brothers perform live in Times Square.
"The economy is what it is. It's going to turn around. You just have to be positive," Tenorio said. "That's what we're doing, otherwise we wouldn't be here. I think that's why most people are here tonight: optimism."
Some had waited hours in the cold penned up behind barricades in tight security.
Among them was 19-year-old Samantha Smith, who had traveled with her fiance and college friends from Florida. She wore a face mask and had stuffed hand warmers in her gloves. "I'm kind of comfortable because I have a ton of layers on," she said.

V8 improvements on ARM
We don't often comment on articles written by staff members at our favourite technology company, but its latest article piqued our interest. It explains the relevance of the Open Source V8 Codec and how the contributions made by ARM and many other companies and individuals have led to significant improvements in performance.
We know that ARM processors are improving at a phenomenal pace, but what we often forget is the impact of the software they run. The article highlights how the latest V8 codec is many times faster than the version available just 12 months ago. Using the same hardware platform, the benchmarks highlight an improvement of up to 500% – impressive. The jump from a single-core Cortex-A8 to a dual-core Cortex-A9 is an approximate 2x gain in performance. Any software gain in software will seem like even more.
The author points out that the current V8 Codec will not be available in products until sometime in H2 2011, and goes on to tease us with even more optimisations in the pipeline for the upcoming Cortex-A15 super-processor. Well worth a read.

It's surprising how much of the web is Java Script. The text of the article on the ARM website is, in fact, a Javascript script!
If that's repeated all over the web, then V8 is really going to make a difference to web browsing. I can hardly wait!
Les and others: Do you know (can you find out) if Angry Bird is Java Script (which means it is interpreted at run time)? or is it compiled (delivered as an executable binary)?
I am asking this because I asked the MIPS CEO at a meeting recently and he did not know. I wanted to know if most smartphone apps needs to be recomplied or not to switch from ARM to MIPS.
Angry birds for ARM leverages the native SDK which means it is compiled and then delivered as a binary. See http://blogs.arm.com/arm-events/397-arm-partners-in-the-mwc-spotlight-%E2%80%93-enjoy-this-inside-look-at-arm-technology/
However Angry birds is available for other platforms.
Most Android Apps are, I believe, written in Java. Confusingly, Java and Javascript are not the same thing. Java is compiled to run on a virtual machine (JVM) while javascript is text embedded in the html.
Good news for games on webOS.
Also good news for node.js on ARM. Might be useful in servers.
Please let me know if you're looking for a author for your blog. You have some really good articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link
back to mine. Please send me an e-mail if interested.
Thank you covering V8 improvements on ARM | ARM News.
Now i'm particularly delighted that somebody would most likely article something such as this. It reminds me personally a modicum of the veronicas lyrics but that is another experience absolutely. Enjoy a awesome day!
I do believe all the ideas you've presented on your post.
They're very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the
posts are very brief for starters. Could you please prolong them a bit from next time?
Thanks for the post.

The Andrew Dominik-directed movie, in which Pitt investigates a heist that took place during a high-stakes, mob-protected poker game, is based on George V. Higgins' 1974 novel "Cogan's Trade." It opens Nov. 30.

Oh... I'm sorry that you're offended, but I don't exactly see why you are. Judging by the number of messages I've gotten, there are quite a few projects looking for spriters. I really don't see anything offensive in saying that the demand for spriters outstrips the supply.
I was more offended that you said most spriters willing to sprite are usualy not good in spriting
but you are right with all the activity in the ROM hacking forum and a new hack made every day I can see why you said that

I was very excited to try taking firework pictures for the first time! We weren't super prepared and didn't have the best view in the world of the show, and I trees blocking half of them, but I still got a few I liked! These are all Straight Out Of Camera (except for cropping) so I'm also using them for Jill and Ashley's "Good to Wow" link up. We link up our SOOC shots with Jill and then link our edits with Ashley on Thursday.
So I read this great firework tutorial on Snapshots by Michelle and pretty much followed all her tips. I used a tripod, set my ISO to 200, my aperture to f/20 and did 4 second exposures. I locked off my focus manually so my camera didn't try to find focal points every time I clicked the shutter. I used my 17-70mm zoom lens and was zoomed in pretty close to 70mm. Here are some of my results!
I really love how all the shots came out so differently, and there's something I REALLY love about the silhouette of the little girl climbing the fence to watch in the last shot!
Hope everyone had a great 4th!

Took our kids there Monday. Was very pleasently surprised. Great park with lots to do for young kids, teen agers, and adults. They have food vendors on site and you can actually buy beer on the premises.
After going there, really wonder why I'd bother to go the Dells or out of state anywhere. The only park I've been to that was much better was down in Branson, but that's at least a day drive away.
I know the seasons about over, but it's a great place for people to think about going to for next year.
I just went a couple weekends ago, great park! The "video game arcade" is much to be desired, but that area with the casino resort and expanding water park could be quite the entertainment hub sometime in the near future. If they play their cards right, they might even be able to catch up to Noah's Ark plethora of slides.
