….. And what did Jim Medway think of our children's work?Posted by: Mr Bruton in Library, Year 5, Year 6, tags: Comics, Jim Medway, Library, Year 5, Year 6
After finishing our Create Comics Workshop with Jim Medway, Year 5 & 6 completed some great feedback forms that we emailed to Jim.
But the big surprise came after half term. Jim had had the chance to read through ALL of the Year 5 & 6 mini-comics and he thought they were all great. But he told us a few of them were extra special and deserving of special mention…… and of course, he did it in comics….
(The few strange gaps on the sheet above are where we've removed last names – NOT where Jim's messed up the word balloons!)

Motoport Kevlar first impressions (long, many pics...)
View Single Post
Joined: Dec 2008
Oddometer: 19
So I spent about 7 hours yesterday reading all 57 pages of this thread.....as a result I had a headache, my wife is ignoring me (payback for yesterday), and my vision is somewhat blurry.
I live in Toronto, Canada and after having a few different leather and nylon jackets that never fit properly and were always short of being what I really needed I am really looking forward to ordering the Ultra II or the Riva.
The website sure needs a lot of work so I am grateful to the members that have posted there opinions, blogs, pics, and rants about this stuff.
I have e-mailed Wayne at Cycleport with a few questions that I will also post here if some of you could answer for me.
I plan on ordering the Aero-Tex WBW liner (non-insulated) with the jacket but I am confused about the two Kevlars; Air-Mesh & Stretch Kevlar
1) I will be riding from 40F to 90F......here in Toronto the killer is the humidity and can raise temps about 15F to 105F.......and when I travel North even in July the temps will fall to the low 40's............so Mesh or Stretch(with the WBW liner)???
2) How much stiffer is the Mesh......I know some have described it as a "cheese grater"??? Does this mean that the Stretch Kevlar is soft?
3) I was considering flying out with my wife to San Diego to get measured up at Cycleport but with the cheapest flight being $1300 for the both of us I am considering recording myself and my wife measuring ourselves since I've read a few pages of "measurement issues"..........is this too over-the-top?
Thank you in advance for replies to my Q's

Case Study: HER2-Positive Oligometastatic Breast Cancer
Published Online: Thursday, April 24, 2014
For High-Definition, ClickIn a case-based discussion, moderator Adam M. Brufsky, MD, PhD, describes a 40-year-old woman with a 2 cm mass in her left breast and a single 2 cm metastatic liver lesion. A biopsy of the left breast reveals the tumor is estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and HER2-positive. A biopsy of the liver indicates that it is HER2-positive and ER-negative.
The majority of the panel agrees that a combination regimen of docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (THP) is ideal for this scenario. Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD, suggests that carboplatin should also be administered, since it appears to be oligometastatic disease that could be amenable to a curative therapeutic strategy. Moreover, the addition of a DNA damaging agent, like carboplatin, appears to be beneficial in the setting of ER-negative disease, O'Shaughnessy notes.
Depending on the response to the combination therapy, a hepatic metastasectomy could be performed following the completion of treatment, believes Hope S. Rugo, MD. An optimal strategy may include treatment with the 4-drug combination followed by docetaxel plus trastuzumab or trastuzumab plus pertuzumab with an assessment of the metastatic site at 6 to 12 months, suggests Brufsky. At this point, if the lesion is still present, metastasectomy is a reasonable option.

text: Chinese people, the government in particular, should not be dumb handling this case in Kunming. Backlashing Uyghurs won't help, China should remember what happen in Xinjiang just 4 years ago, July 5th event happened in response to the treatment of Uyghurs in Shaoguan. Of course, government still blames outside forces for the cause of July 5th, but in reality, Uyghurs reaction was in response to Shaoguan massacre of Uyghurs. It seems history is repeating itself, Chinese know this all too well. I hope these kind of accusation to entire ethnic group eventually will backfire.

The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) has launched an online training resource to help law enforcement agencies and private security firms collaborative more effectively.
The training course, "Team Up: Action Planner for Police-Security Partnerships," provides police and private security partners with assistance in establishing and sustaining partnerships, helping create a customized action plan, and highlighting aspects of successful police-private security partnerships that can be easily replicated.
The training takes just over an hour to complete and is divided into three sections — Introduction to Partnerships, Starting a Partnership, and Strengthening a Partnership.
"As local law enforcement budgets are being reduced, police departments are seeking new strategies for efficiently providing high level services, and the Team Up training is a resource that helps to address this need," according to COPS Director Bernard K. Melekian. "Police -private security partnerships represent a natural extension of community policing and serve as a force multiplier for the many departments that are seeking ways to do more with less manpower and fewer dollars."
The "Team Up: Action Planner for Police-Security Partnerships" training was developed through a collaboration between the COPS Office and the Law Enforcement-Private Security Consortium (LEPSC), which works to support partnerships between law enforcement and private security organizations to improve public safety.
The COPS Office is a federal agency responsible for advancing community policing nationwide through the provision of grants and the development of numerous knowledge resource products, including community policing publications, training and technical assistance services.
To access the "Team Up: Action Planner for Police-Security Partnerships" training, visit the LEPSC Web site.

CLEMSON – Responding to a report that he had decommitted from Clemson on Wednesday, the nation's No. 1 football recruit Robert Nkdemiche told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he was still committed to Clemson – sort of.
Asked specifically if he was still committed to Clemson Nkemdiche told the AJC: "Yes. Just undecided. … Nothing final yet."
Nkemdiche is receiving pressure from his family to join his older brother, Denzel, and play at Ole Miss.
The five-star defensive end is the prize of Clemson's 2013 recruiting class.
247Sports.com reported Wednesday night that the Ole Miss staff had heard nothing from Nkemdiche regarding a decommitment.
Nkemdiche will be with his family to watch his brother's Ole Miss team play Vanderbilt this weekend. Nkemdiche's mother, Beverly, has said she does not plan on visiting Clemson.

UNCW Arts in Action Presents Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR)
Wednesday, October 07, 2009
Strings and scratches mix it up as the electrifying and innovative violinist and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain (known as DBR) goes head-to-head with long-time collaborator DJ Scientific (a.k.a Elan Vytal) and keyboardist Wynne Bennett for a boundary breaking concert experience. DBR performs works off of his debut international solo album etudes4violin&electronix at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21 in Kenan Auditorium as part of the UNCW Arts in Action Performance Series. The audience is invited to stay after the show for a meet-the-artist reception co-sponsored by the Association for Campus Entertainment.
Known for fusing his classical music roots with a myriad of soundscapes, Haitian-American artist DBR has carved a reputation for himself as a ground-breaking, performer, violinist, composer and band leader. DBR's dramatic soul-inspiring pieces range from orchestral scores and energetic chamber works to rock songs and electronica. His exploration of musical rhythms and classically-driven sounds is peppered by his own cultural references and vibrant musical imagination.
This concert features selected solo and duet works from DBR's recent album, etudes4violin&electronix, and from the critically acclaimed Sonata for Violin and Turntables, conceived by DBR and co-written with contemporary music remixer extraordinaire, DJ Scientific. A musical exploration between contrasting cultures and instruments of classical and pop music genres, the program speaks to the history and traditions of both. The violin, the turntables and the laptop sing, battle and rhyme together, honoring a full spectrum of musical inventions.
As a composer, DBR has collaborated with an array of orchestras and chamber ensembles, and has been commissioned numerous times. In 2007, he premiered One Loss Plus, the first of three works commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Showcasing his wide-ranging eclecticism, One Loss Plus is an evening-length, multimedia work for electric/acoustic violin, prepared/amplified piano, electronics, and video. DBR was also recently selected by the Sphinx Commissioning Consortium, an alliance between Sphinx and nine other American orchestras to compose a new work for full orchestra to premiere in 2010.
"…About as omnivorous as a contemporary artist gets," writes the New York Times, DBR has collaborated and performed with artists as diverse as Philip Glass, DJ Spooky, Ryuichi Sakamoto and recently with Lady Gaga on FOX's American Idol. His accolades range from being voted as "America's Assignment" on the CBS Evening News, to receiving praise as one of the "Top 100 New Yorkers" (New York Resident), "Top 40 Under 40" business people (Crain's New York Business), and being spotlighted as a "New Face of Classical Music" in Esquire Magazine.
A native of Margate, Florida, DBR studied music as an undergraduate at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music, where he currently serves as a visiting professor of composition, and completed his masters and doctoral work at the University of Michigan under the tutelage of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer William Bolcom.
In addition to the UNCW concert, DBR will give a demonstration and lecture on "What Music Might Mean" from 12:30 – 1:45 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 20 in the Beckwith Recital Hall on the UNCW campus. This event is free and open to the public.
DBR will also present this same presentation from 6-7:15 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at the Houston Moore Community Center (1601 South 13th Street). This event is presented in partnership with the Wilmington Housing Authority and is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.uncw.edu/presents.
Tickets to the performance are $20 for the general public; $16 for senior citizens and UNCW employees; $8 for non-UNCW students; and $6 for UNCW students. Group discounts are available. Call Kenan Box Office at 910.962.3500 or 800.732.3643 outside the Wilmington area or visit www.uncw.edu/presents. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and one hour prior to the event.
About Arts in Action Performance Series
The Arts in Action Performance Series seeks to culturally enrich, educate and entertain both students and the Wilmington community through the presentation of diverse programs featuring professional, high-quality performing artists.

In order to prove that their 2-0 first leg win in Calabar penultimate Sunday was not a fluke, Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State, has charged the Golden Eaglets to go for an outright victory against Mali on Sunday to secure a ticket to the 2013 African U-17 Championship in Morocco.
Speaking through his Commissioner for Sports, Mr. Patrick Ugbe, Imoke said the Nigerian youngsters have all that it takes to beat the Junior Eagles of Mali on their home soil.
"We have seen what you are capable of doing over time and I'm very proud that you have won all your past matches including the 2-0 victory over Mali the last time," he said.
"You must therefore go a step further by winning your last game in Bamako to show everyone that your victory over the Malians in Calabar was because you are the better side."
The crucial Sunday game in Bamako has elicited varied interest following the manner the Golden Eaglets outplayed their supposedly bigger and stronger rivals in Calabar.
"Winning football matches is not about size and I want you to get the job done on Sunday by ensuring that you secure the ticket to the African Championship in Morocco in flying colours," said Imoke.

It's a crowded field in League VIII varsity girls volleyball, with five different schools all vying for second place and all within a half game of each other.
The Pierson/Bridgehampton Lady Whalers are right in the thick of this race for second place, currently holding a league record of (5-5-0) after winning 3-1 in an all-important home game on Monday against the Greenport/Southold Clippers (5-6-0).
Going into the game against the Clippers, the Whalers were one game shy of a .500 record; and a loss to their North Fork rivals would have all but put an end to the Lady Whalers' season.
In the first set of Monday's match, the Lady Whaler's took an early lead after squeaking by 25-21. The home team's one set lead was short lived however.
The second set was a complete rout for the Whalers after the Clippers quickly rode a nine-point serving streak to a crushing 25-15 win.
"We try so hard and play so well, but those sorts of things happen," said Lady Whaler's Head Coach Stacey Springer. "Sometimes games get away from us."
The Lady Whalers, led by seniors Chelsea Freleng and Rebecca Speckenbach, then went on to take the next two sets 25-17, 25-21.
Monday's match point was set up by Whalers sophomore May Evjen, and spiked into Clippers territory by Senior Hayley Schimmer.
Speckenbach was an offensive force for the Lady Whalers on Monday, with eleven kills and four serving aces. Evjen led the team with 25 assists in the match.
The win against the Clippers snapped a four game losing streak for the Whalers, and put them right back on track to grab a spot in the post-season.
Now with just two games left in the regular season, the Lady Whalers need to win at least one of these games to insure the a place in the Class C championship race.
The Whalers next match is at the Center Moriches Red Devils (5-5-0) today, October 27 at 6:15 p.m. There last regular season game is at home against the Shelter Island Indians (11-0) on Monday, October 31 at 4:30 p.m.
Shelter Island has been the world beaters of League VIII for another successive year; so far they having gone undefeated in both league and non-league play, winning every single set in all of their games.
The one match-up between the Whalers and Shelter Island so far this year resulted in a 3-0 Lady Whalers defeat on October 19.
"I really think we have a chance to win in either of those two games," said Springer. She did add that a lot is riding on the Center Moriches game, because of the tough challenge Shelter Island will pose.
"We can win [against Shelter Island] if we play like we played today," said Springer. "But really I don't want our season decided in the last game if we can help it."

She started as an extra in films in the early 1960s. She accepted small roles in big films like Mujhe Jeene Do and big roles in small budgeted stunt films like Boxer, Samson, Tarzan, and King Kong. In the 1960s, she starred in as many as 16 action films with freestyle wrestler Dara Singh and was labelled as a stunt film heroine.
She first gained attention in a supporting role as a vamp in the A grade color hit film Mere Sanam (1965). The memorable sexy song yeh hai reshmai was picturized on her. The success of the film led to another sizzling song "Aye dushman jaan" in another big-budget film Patthar Ke Sanam. Finally, she gained major attention when she played one of Dilip Kumar's leading ladies in Ram Aur Shyam (1967). The film became one of the top hits of the year, and she received her first Filmfare nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Suddenly, Mumtaz was flooded with offers, but still not for major leading lady roles. She supported Sharmila Tagore in several films in the late 1960s, such as for Saawan Ki Ghata, Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi, and Mere Humdum Mere Dost. She had a memorable song and dance number ("Aaj kal tere mere") with her then-boyfriend Shammi Kapoor in the hit film Brahmachari (1968).LATEST CARS AND MOBILES MASALA ACTRESS SPICY ACTRESS BOLLYWOOD ACTRESS

Darwinia ReviewJanuary 1st, 2006 by Marv
PCBurn has posted a review of Darwinia. A blurb from their review:
Darwinia's story goes something like this. You happen across an AI experiment that has apparently gone awry. It seems you're just in the nick of time, as the systems administrator is about to pull the plug and reset it loosing all his work in the process. With your help, though, he might just be able to get the experiment back on track and put an end to the virus that has been threatening his virtual creation.

When we talk about fighting poverty, we usually think of how we can help those who are extremely poor to lead more dignified lives, by enabling them to access basic needs such as adequate food, clothing, shelter, water and sanitation and health services, access to a reasonable income and education.
While it is important to empower the poor so that they can lead meaningful lives, we need to think of how we as a society are participating in actions that perpetuate rather than eliminate poverty.
This has to do with the way we use the resources available to us; i.e. if we do not use them in a sustainable way, then that means we are promoting the very poverty that we are trying to eliminate, by depleting the few available resources at our disposal. This can only spell disaster for future generations since they will have to struggle for survival if we do not leave anything for them.
Global warming and climate change have led to unpredictable weather patterns- the melting of the ice caps in the arctic region leading to rising sea levels and unprecedented heavy downpour of rain are all contributing to the imbalance of the ecosystem. In other regions of Africa, we are witnessing unprecedented droughts leading to severe food shortages.
Therefore we can rightly say that conserving our environment and sustainable use of resources are key factors, if we are to win this war on poverty eradication. We need to think and act in a sustainable way even as we make and implement development plans to lift our people out of those dehumanizing conditions.
It is also important to ask ourselves what role we can as individuals in eliminating poverty? As individuals, we can play a significant role in fighting poverty by using resources more sensibly. If we all take time to learn everyday how we can use the resources available to us more efficiently such as water conservation, protecting the forest cover among others, then we will be making progress towards eradicating poverty.
Some of these actions of making a sustainable living include: recycling waste, reducing wastage of resources, not leaving the taps running and switching of lights when not in use. It is not only the responsibility of the government to eradicate poverty, but you can also help in a big way by living in a sustainable way.
You may have all that you need today and may not think much about that tap you left dripping, but if you do not act now to use the resources more carefully, then your future generations will be affected in many adverse ways.
Let us all take care of the environment and use our resources more judiciously. It is our life and our future that is at stake.

life is a comedy sketch waiting to happen...
If life were a movie or TV show, I'd be the leading character's best friend. You know, the Rhoda to life's Mary Tyler-Moore. Corny enough metaphor? I think so. It's likely that I'm already highly attracted to you if you were smart enough to actually proofread/spell check your profile before posting it. I love making people laugh and having great conversations. Creativity is very important to me. I write and perform spoken-word poetry and stand-up comedy and I really enjoy it. Listening to music is one of my favorite ways to relax and my taste is ridiculously eclectic. I tend to quote lyrics in my head throughout the day. I also love movies and going out to eat. I'm the type of person who truly appreciates the small things that can make your day better. You know, when you're running late, but just happen to catch that express train before the doors close, so then you make it to work on time. I'm grateful for these kinds of moments. If I'm out somewhere and a song I love randomly comes on the radio, I get all excited. It's all about the small surprises that can make you smile. I'm a total nerd when it comes to the stuff I'm passionate about. I know so many random facts about The Beatles, it's not even funny. If you can go rapid-fire, fact to fact, song title to song title, with me in conversation about the fab four, then you may just be my soulmate. Quirkiness and imperfections tend to captivate me and I enjoy listening to the "B side" of what life has to offer. I'll be the one to interject the obscure reference nobody knows or cares about into the conversation and I tend to root for the underdog. Simply put, my favorite of The Three Stooges is Larry. I'm that kind of girl. Fun fact: In first grade I was the WWF wrestler The Undertaker for Halloween. My Italian grandmother made my costume. It was greatness. Let's point out the obvious: I am a tall woman, which can be a challenge at times. I don't let it stop me from wearing high heels if I want to, which should show my level of confidence. My personal opinion is that short guys and tall women probably understand each other more than they think. Height is irrelevant to me in terms of a potential partner. I'd be quite happy to find a Dudley Moore to my Susan Anton (and if you get that reference, you should probably e-mail me). More importantly, I'm hoping to find someone who values great conversation and can keep the witty banter flowing. Someone who is passionate and fun-loving and who can laugh at life's absurdities. Our idea of fun could be going out to a great restaurant, getting some drinks, or singing karaoke one night, and laughing together as we watch Young Frankenstein or Monty Python and the Holy Grail the next. Don't be shy. If you want to know more about me, drop me a line, and we'll chat!

RALEIGH – The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy are participating with other local, state and federal health agencies in an investigation of products prepared by a compounding manufacturer, Main Street Family Pharmacy of Newbern, Tennessee that were shipped to three North Carolina clinics. The North Carolina investigation began after the FDA was notified of two individuals who developed complications after administration of an injectable steroid product at a clinic in Greenville, N.C. Main Street Family Pharmacy has issued a voluntary recall of all sterile products.State and local public health officials are working with the three clinics that received the formulation of methylprednisolone acetate, a steroid product, associated with the investigation. The clinics involved are Carolina Arthritis Center in Pitt County, Bailey Family Practice Center in Nash County, and Shallote Medical Center in Brunswick County. The clinics are notifying patients who may have been exposed to alert them to any signs and symptoms of complications. As a precaution, the N.C. Board of Pharmacy has contacted the clinics and asked that all products from the pharmacy be quarantined and the pharmacy has agreed to voluntary surrender its North Carolina pharmacy license.
Complications identified thus far are skin abscesses. Health officials have not had any reports of meningitis, stroke, or death. Any individuals who are experiencing any unexplained health problems following an injection of methylprednisolone acetate from one of these clinics are encouraged to contact the administering clinic or their regular health care provider.

Tesla CEO says fire caused by impaled batteryOctober 5th, 2013 by Mike Baker in Technology / Energy & Green Tech
In this June 22, 2012 file photo shows a Tesla Model S driving outside the Tesla factory in Fremont, Calif. Shares of Tesla Motors are down another 5 percent as investors in the high-flying company assess the fallout from a fire in one of its $70,000 electric cars. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma, file)
The CEO of electric car company Tesla said Friday that a battery in a Model S that caught fire this week was apparently impaled by a metal object.
Elon Musk gave more detail in a blog post about the fire that became an Internet sensation and unsettled Tesla investors. He also defended the car's battery technology.
Musk wrote in a blog post Friday that fires are more common in conventional gas-powered vehicles.
"For consumers concerned about fire risk, there should be absolutely zero doubt that it is safer to power a car with a battery than a large tank of highly flammable liquid," Musk wrote.
The CEO said a curved metal object on the road was apparently to blame for the fire Tuesday. He says the large object's shape led to a powerful hit on the underside of the vehicle, punching a 3-inch hole through an armor plate that protects the battery under the passenger compartment.
The car properly contained the blaze in one section of the battery, the company said. The driver was able to exit the highway in the Seattle suburb of Kent and get out of the vehicle before flames engulfed the front of the sedan.
Of the estimated 194,000 vehicle fires in the U.S. each year, the vast majority are in cars and trucks with gasoline or diesel engines. Electric vehicles make up less than 1 percent of the cars sold in the U.S.
Firefighters struggled to extinguish the Tesla fire, finding that the flames reignited. After dismantling the front end of the vehicle and puncturing holes in the battery pack, responders used a circular saw to cut an access hole in the front section to apply water to the battery, according to documents. Only then was the fire extinguished.
Musk said in his blog post that a "road crew" at the scene of the fire identified the curved metal piece, which fell off a tractor-trailer, as the apparent culprit. However, state and local officials have not been able to say what debris, if any, was found in the area.
Shares of Palo Alto, California-based Tesla Motors Inc. fell sharply Wednesday and Thursday after a video of the car fire circulated on the Internet. The stock recovered somewhat Friday, rising $7.67, or 4.4 percent, to $180.98. The shares still finished the week with a loss of $9.92, or 5.2 percent, but they're still up nearly 400 percent this year.

Every fall, you probably hear people talking about the coming flu season, but might not give it another thought unless you actually get the flu. If you do get sick, knowing what to do can help you feel better faster.
Try these tips if you get the flu:
Most people who get the flu get better without having to see their doctor. But if your flu symptoms get worse, if you have a high temperature for more than a few days, if you have any trouble breathing, or if you seem to get better but then feel worse again, call your doctor right away.
And next time, get the flu vaccine so that you're less likely to get the flu!

Twinkies maker Hostess seeks bankruptcy protection
NEW YORK The maker of Twinkies, Sno Balls and Wonder Bread is trying to lose the fat.
Hostess Brands is hoping to cut its high costs as it heads back into bankruptcy protection for the second time in less than a decade.
Hostess has enough cash to keep stores stocked with its Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other snacks for now as it battles rising labor costs and increased competition. But longer term, the 87-year-old company has a bigger problem: health-conscious Americans favor yogurt and energy bars over the dessert cakes and white bread they devoured 30 years ago.
Last year, 36 percent of Americans ate white bread in their homes, down from 54 percent in 2000, according to NPD Group. Meanwhile, about 54 percent ate wheat bread, up from 43 percent in 2000.
Consumption of healthy snacks is growing, too. About 32 percent of Americans ate yogurt at least once in two weeks in 2011, for instance, up from 18 percent in 2000.
"We're less likely to be snacking on items that we shouldn't be snacking on," said Harry Balzer, chief industry analyst for The NPD Group, a consumer marketing research firm.
Hostess, which is a privately held, doesn't disclose sales figures. But Nyeyoka Bryan, 26, is proof that the company has lost at least some of its hardcore fans.
Bryan said she stopped eating Twinkies at about age 16 because she decided they were unhealthy. Still, the student who was sipping a fruit smoothie in the snack aisle of a Duane Reade store in New York on Wednesday afternoon said she'd be sad if Twinkies disappeared.
"They've been around a long time," she said.
To be sure, Hostess' snacks don't neatly fit into the U.S. trend toward a healthier lifestyle that includes a diet rich in whole wheat foods, fruits and vegetables.
For instance, Twinkies, a snack cake with a mysterious cream filling that epitomizes empty calories, has 150 calories and 4.5 grams of fat. Meanwhile, a Ding Dong chocolate cake with filling has 368 calories and 19.4 grams of fat.
Hostess has introduced some healthier options in recent years, including 100-calorie packs of cupcakes and Twinkies. The company also is working on lowering sodium in some products. But those efforts haven't helped the company's junk-food status much.
"The iconic status of Twinkies is partly this perception that there's nothing real in it," said Ken Albala, professor of history at the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, Calif., who specializes in food history. "It's this cake filled with an unidentifiable sugary cream filling that never goes bad."
Hostess has other problems, too.
In Hostess' Chapter 11 filing on Wednesday, the company said its rivals have combined and expanded their reach, heightening competition in the snack space. Hostess' competitors range from Bimbo Bakeries, which makes Entenmann's baked goods, and McKee Foods, which make Little Debbie snack cakes. It also faces competition from larger food makers like Sara Lee and Kraft Inc.
Additionally, Hostess employees are unionized while most of its competitors aren't. As a result, Hostess has high pension and medical benefit costs. The company has 19,000 employees and operates in 48 states.

Hospital records of patients are supposed to be private and confidential documents but at the National Hospital, Abuja, one of Nigeria's major health facilities, they are an eyesore and litter some parts of the back end of the premises.
Walking casually down the Abuja National Hospital's premises towards the mosque and beyond penultimate Friday revealed a serene atmosphere, until coloured papers in different shade of brown, green, white and pink with burnt brown edges hit the eyes.
On approaching the documents, one of them had 'Nurses Process Records', written on it. Less than a foot away from it is a printed result of an ultra sound scan of a patient.
Among the medical records our reporter picked from the premises included details of one Mrs. Margaret O., who was delivered of a 4.5kg baby on July 7, 2005.
The laboratory test results of Elizabeth A, who was attended to by a clinician called Abubakar, was also seen. Ms A. had her blood screened on March 5, 2004 for a fee of N2, 000 and the document has every other detail of the patient's results.
Miss I. Omo also had her medical record displayed in public. The records are so detailed that one can see that Omo complained of itching on May 31, 2004, which grew worse at night. She was observed at 12 noon, treated for nasal blockage and frequent blood discharge every morning.
From the medical records found littered, not all cases are sorrowful as there is a baby I., whose mother was in prolonged labour and delivered through emergency caesarean session on March 11, 2004. The baby weighed 3.55kg.
A passerby and a regular worshipper at the hospital's mosque, Yunusa Usman, offered this explanation: "There was a fire incident in that building (pointing in the direction of the right wing of a new building still undergoing rehabilitation inside the hospital's premises) and in an effort to rescue items from the place, these files were brought down and have been flying all over the place since then."
When asked what caused the fire, spokesman of National Hospital Abuja, Dr. Jacob Adetayo Haastrup, said thus: "We had a minor fire incident in the hospital due to what professionals said was high voltage. This cut through the ceiling and extended to some part of the library room but the good news about it is that the fire service was quickly called and they were able to put out the fire."
Haastrup added that the hospital is undergoing an expansion of its facilities. "Some offices are there, there are wards there too as well as clinics. We have the medical records sections, the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), where its assistant director has an office."
Although Haastrup told Weekly Trust that construction work on the building started two years ago, a female staff of the hospital who spoke on condition of anonymity said: "I don't exactly remember what year work commenced on the building but it was started under the old Chief Medical Director (CMD), Dr. Olusegun Ajuwon and that was definitely more than two years.
Our reporter also observed some of construction workers picking littered patient's file covers or their contents and tearing or folding them into halves to protect their palms while carrying glass sheets rom a Honda car into a building.
When asked about the littered files, Haastrup explained that the files are being arranged on shelves in the new building. "The ones you said are on the ground have staff arranging them on shelves," he added.
When asked if the sorting of the files were supposed to be done in the open at a car park and on the lawns, he said, "No, not outside. They can't be outside. They are within the reception area." This saying was contrary to what our reporter observed for three days in the hospital's premises.
When the spokesman was asked if he has gone to the spot to see things for himself, he kept quiet for a few seconds and said: "You see, I actually saw them; I've been there and that is why I'm telling you they were not outside as you said. It's just the arrangement that they started doing in that building."
At this point our reporter showed photos of the documents littering the ground but he still maintained his stand by saying: "You should know that we cannot litter patients' folders. But you can also see that the ones you saw maybe are the ones we want to do away with. Not the records of patients. We change the covers of these folders but the contents remain permanently and for the few contents that got burnt, we have backup on our computer system for any patient who comes with his/her card."
However, a male staff of the hospital said: "I've never heard a thing like this where patients' records are done away with anywhere in the world.
"I've worked here for about nine years. All I can say is that this incident occurred due to lack of standards and maintenance policy. See peoples' case files dating back to over 10 years just flying around here and all they have are these flimsy excuses? I hope a proper investigation is carried out so that it doesn't happen again."
On why workers were using the document as work tools, Haastrup said: "This is what I'm telling you; the covers are condemned. Although photos before him showed the hospital records being torn and used to move glasses, Haastrup said that was impossible. "They can't tear pieces of papers. These are experts in the field. We should be talking about something else," he added a little sternly.
After looking through the photos he said, "I'm telling you that there is a difference between the back of the folder and the contents."
Some patients were upset over the development and on Dr. Hasstrup's explanations. Mr. Abdullahi Adoke said, "This is absolute crap. Does the cover not have my name, information on my allergies and drugs that cannot be administered to me? How can anybody say that?
"This is a true reflection of absolute lack of diligence and care that even at individual level, we exhibit towards our responsibilities" said Mrs. Hureira Shuaibu who had brought her mother to hospital. Currently expecting her second child, Shuaibu said, "I'll be very mad to see my ultra sound scan lying on the floor like this for anybody with eyes to see. These things are precious and very sensitive and should be treated as such."
Asked if he was bothered that such vital information were left in open, Haastrup said, "There are security men all over the place. Those places where the files are kept are locked. It is only designated staff that is allowed there. The ones you saw are the ones which were scattered within this environment. We are now trying to pack them and retrieve their contents and repackage and send them back where they belong."
Reacting to his comment, a staff who spoke on condition of anonymity wondered thus: "Is it outside here or at the car park and lawns that patients' records are locked up and secured? About two weeks ago, there was an air condition fire in one of the old buildings that was quickly brought under controls and now this has happened and it seems like all efforts are being made to keep it quiet."
According to spokesman, with the presence of security men, there is nobody who can have access or make away with any of the folders. "The security men are there and I would be surprised if you had access to them. That means we need to beef up security. We are guiding the patients' folders and will continue to guard them," he said.
However, by the time this reporter visited the hospital 24 hours later, the records still litter the premises and there was no security personnel nearby to prevent passersby from having access to them.

Pefect headlight polisher !

Sizing Info and Accessories
By RoguePolisher
from San Jose, CA
Polisher is 5/16-24T Female ThreadedWon't interchange with 2" HF Discs because they are 1/4-20T, which limits dual-use as a sander. Since the head is hook and loop, 5 or 6" H and L sanding discs can be cut down, though.I'm thinking about getting a 5/15 to 1/4 adapter someplace.
Awesome little buffer and polisher
By Allen
from GA
I finally got to use this at work today at the service center I am at. I had a job to polish out some headlights. I used a 3~ headlight restore kit and this item together. I also created a way to reduced the air pressure to the polisher. (mine was at 175psi/2-100 gallon tanks..also it spins amost too fast for polishing headlights by itself .., even at its lowest setting.) The lights were impossible to see through. They are like new now !! I would definetly reccomend this product to anyone !! Make sure you got a 60 gallon or better air compressor to use it on though. Anything less and it will drain it out fast !!

Great polisher
By max
from wa
See all my reviews
This is a great little polisher for hard to reach areas or small areas. Definitely not for buffing whole car. This little buffer takes a lot of air, so don't even try to use it if you have smaller than 60 gal tank, you'll run out of air in seconds.Has adjustable rpms which is nice.
By the one armed man
from east
I have to give this 5 stars because I have one ARM and using my Da buffer is impossible I buffed my whole car with amazing results it took awhile but its the only tool I can use given my situation it let's me get the scratches and swirl marks out of my show car I love it
So Far so good
By dan
from omaha
Bought this to polish scratches and wheels. its small and has descent power. good when I don't want to pull out a 7" buffer,
Works great for small jobs
By Wisconsin Hydrographics
from Sheboygan, WI
I own a full time hydrographics shop and we use this little guy for our final cut and polish of our clear coats for smaller motorcycle and automotive jobs. We have been using it a year and it has held up well. We keep it oiled properly but recently noticed that it has begun to slow down and is no longer running at the stated 2000 rpm. We run a 80 gal, 2 stage, 6 horse compressor and of all our tools, this thing sucks up air like a marathon runner. Like others have said, if you don't have at least a 60 gal 2 stage...forget this one. Overall, it gets an A+ for price and durability. We have hundreds of hours on this one and it is just starting to show signs of needing replacement.
Works like a champ
By Jack of all trades
from SoCal
I restore mini bikes and this polisher is perfect for making the frames look like a million. My big buffer is way too big to get into places this one can. Like others have said, you better have a large compressor, 2 stage preferred, to keep up with it.

Great little polisher
By Shopman
from Trumann, Arkansas
I had been waithing for this polisher to go on sale and when it did I snatched it up. Used it to buff the hood on my drag car and it worked pretty good. Only drawback is that it uses a LOT of air and I mean a LOT. I have an average size 60 gallon air compressor in my shop and it doesn't even think about keeping up. I can use the polisher for about 30 solid seconds before the compressor kicks on. Good little polisher for small jobs and a nice addition to my air tool collection.

We went back to Minden for Easter.
It was a nice break from Ottawa and all the stupid stuff going on here. Not that I can completely escape it, but you know, getting out of the city helps to add some perspective on things.
We had a good visit with my parents in Minden, and the weather was pleasant enough. We rented a car to get up there, since ours died recently. I got to see this little guy, Pups. His age is definitely showing, but for 14, I think he's still going fairly strong.
Isn't he a funny little guy? I miss Pups already.
Bo had a great time running around my parents' house and back yard. He got along with Pups much better than he did at Christmas.
I just realized now that I didn't take a whole lot of bloggable pictures while I was home. (Oops.) I think that means it was a good visit.

The Many Aspects of Diabetes Care Brochure
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, where the body mistakenly destroys cells in the pancreas (betacells) that produce insulin. This is more typically diagnosed in persons under the age of 20, but can occur at any age. Persons with type 1 diabetes need to go on insulin at the time of diagnosis.
Type 2 diabetes is more associate with obesity, where the body is resistant to the effect of insulin and other hormones. This is usually treated with oral medications at diagnosis, but many persons with type 2 diabetes will eventually need insulin. This is usually diagnosed in adults, but can also be seen in children.
Gestational Diabetes is diabetes of pregnancy. In some women, resistance to the effect of insulin occurs in pregnancy. This is usually treated with dietary management and sometimes insulin.
Prediabetes is a condition of abnormal blood sugar levels, but not abnormal enough to be diagnostic of diabetes. Persons with prediabetes are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Positive lifestyle changes (dietary, exercise) can significantly reduce the risk of converting to type 2 diabetes.
For more information from the American Diabetes Association.
People with pre-diabetes have blood glucose (blood sugar) levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. These individuals are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
By taking steps to prevent type 2 diabetes, you also lower your risk for possible complications of diabetes such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve damage and other health problems.
Risk Factors
Many factors increase your risk for pre-diabetes. See which characteristics apply to you:
If any of these apply to you, you may be at risk for pre-diabetes. Visit with your healthcare provider for ways to reduce your risk of developing diabetes or any related conditions. You may also be a candidate for the National Diabetes Prevention Program. Call 701.780.1838 to learn more about the program.

Vodafone CEO says 3G handsets must get cheaperFebruary 14, 2006
Data centers from Vodafone's northern European businesses have been integrated into a hub in Germany, and data centers from the mobile operator's southern European businesses have been centralized in Italy.
The regional consolidation is expected to deliver savings of 25 percent to 30 percent to Vodafone's $612 million annual European IT spending within two to three years. The final phase will see the U.K. consolidate its data centers within the next 12 to 18 months.
By consolidating its data centers, Vodafone said it will benefit from improved economies of scale in purchasing IT equipment, more efficient use of servers and reduced duplication.
Andy McCue of ZDNet UK reported from London.
