It seemed the beef between Meek Mill and Drake had settled down, but some careful listeners have discovered new bars that may fan the flames.
Related: Drake, Tupac and Kanye West Rendered in Tasty Sushi
XXL reports the existence a "clean" version of Mill's "1942 Flows," from his new album Wins & Losses, which is about thirty seconds longer than the original. The extra length is to due to an extra verse:
"Heard they say I talk about my Rollie too much, but them flows you be using sounding stolen too much, 500 on my neck, they say I'm glowin' too much, had to block that lil' b—- 'cuz she be blowing me up, you be doing too much, you only looking for attention, swagger jacking, jackin' n—– swag, that's extensions, came in the culture like a vulture, now you're winnin', but this is the beginning, double M the emblem."
Some fans interpret the verse as a response to Drake's More Life track "Lose You," on which Drizzy rapped: "All you did was write the book on garbage-ass Rollies," which many felt was a barb aimed at Mill.

Vicky Conway says she is stuck in a loan she can't afford.
She and her husband Rodney Conway bought a home in northeast Richmond in 2004 and, like many of the city's residents, the couple's home is "underwater," meaning the amount they owe exceeds the market value of the house.
"I know that we're not going to be able to retire and continue with the same mortgage payments," said Vicky Conway, 51.
Now the Conways are banking on the city's controversial plan to assist hundreds of troubled homeowners. Their mortgage is one of 624 that Richmond city leaders have initially proposed to buy at a discounted rate, and failing that, seize through eminent domain, that is, the power of a municipality to take over certain property.
In the wee hours on Wednesday the Richmond City Council voted 4-3, to proceed with the city's Principal Reduction Plan in collaboration with Mortgage Resolution Partners (MRP). More than 400 people packed the Richmond Memorial Auditorium for the meeting, which was moved to a larger venue to accommodate the crowd.
"We should stand up against Wall Street and for our community. If not us, than who will?" said Mayor Gayle McLaughlin.

Charlie Sheen in Anger Management Promo: Give Me a 24th Chance!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
His career has taken many turns. So has his personal life.
But Charlie Sheen recently admitted in an interview with Matt Lauer that he isn't even sure who that reckless moron from the first half of 2011 was, and now he's asking TV viewers for another chance. A 24th, by the actor's count.
So Sheen jokes - it's not really a joke, is it? - in the following trailer, which promotes the June 28 premiere of his upcoming FX comedy, Anger Management.
The star anchors the sitcom as an athlete-turned-therapist. Will you give Sheen the opportunity he so desires? Watch the latest promo now and then decide:

Yes, it's a long name, isn't it? But I urge you to give this one a chance. It's watermelon season, and unless you have an army to feed, you may run into the issue of having lots of leftover watermelon in your fridge (if you buy a whole melon, of course). And while bits of ice cold watermelon with maybe a little red pepper flakes and sea salt are extremely delicious, a girl needs more options when it comes to watermelon dishes.
I had this recipe bookmarked for several reasons. 1). Watermelon-it's the classic summer fruit. 2). Halloumi. Please don't even get me started on Halloumi. I think it might just be my favorite food in the whole world. For those of you who may not be familiar with it, it's a sheep/goat milk cheese, and it's touted as a "cheese that can be fried." It's very popular in Greece. I tend to always have a container of it in my fridge because it's ready in minutes, and it's a great addition to salads, sandwiches, or even plain on its own as a guilty pleasure. It crisps up nicely on the outside, leaving a warm, buttery and salty inside. Ah, Halloumi. 3). Basil. I love basil, considering most of the recipes on this blog this summer have contained it. Why not? It's easy to grow, abundant, and adds such a crisp, clean flavor. 4). Mint. I love cooking with mint-I love the color, the aroma, the soft leaves. (Maybe I think about this a little too much, I now realize).
Anyways, I figured I would give this recipe a go. It can be easily served as an appetizer, but I just ate it as a weeknight meal…because it is ready in less than 20 minutes. The basil-mint oil adds a light refreshing sweet taste to the cheese, so it has that great mix of salty sweet that I love so much. I ended up grilling the watermelon as an experiment, and I think it turned out just fine, but if you want the nice contrast between the warm cheese and the cold watermelon, I would advice skipping that part. I also don't have a grill, so I just used a grill pan on my stove to grill both the cheese and the watermelon.
I will definitely be making this again. I could picture serving it at a nice outdoor cocktail party with some sangria or chilled white wine. Mmmm.
Halloumi and Watermelon Bites with Basil-Mint Oil
Servings: Approximately 10 2-inch pieces (I halved the original recipe)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped (1 clove)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4-5 ounces Halloumi cheese, in 1/2-inch thick slices **I cut the slices into halves so that they would be bite-size
Approximately 1-pound watermelon, rinds removed and sliced into bite-sized portions
Sea salt and pepper, to taste, if desired
Fresh mint, for garnish
1. In your food processor, combine the basil, mint and the garlic and pulse until finely chopped.
2. Very slowly, pour the olive oil into the feed tube with the blade running. Puree until the mixture is smooth. **There will still be a few bits of basil and mint present.
3. Place the basil-mint oil in a strainer over a bowl and press to remove all the liquid. Discard the solids, and set the oil aside.
4. Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over medium heat (or use an outdoor charcoal or gas grill).
5. Lightly brush the cheese pieces with the basil-mint oil, and grill, about 3 minutes each side, flipping as needed and brushing with the basil-mint oil as desired. Grill until the sides are lightly browned and crispy.
6. Remove the cheese pieces from the grill and lightly grill the watermelon (if desired), about 1 minute on each side.
7. Assemble each piece by placing some Halloumi on top of each watermelon slice and garnish with salt, pepper, and fresh mint.

Racers have been polishing connecting rods for years to improve stock rods durability and to decrease weight. The benefit to polishing is that you remove the source of potential stress fractures.
All factory rods have ridges from the forging process that run the length of the beams. This is the weakest part of the rod and most likely the first place a crack will develop. Our high performance Cummins 5.9 rods start with the early tongue and groove rod core (not late model cracked rods) they are inspected for flaws, cleaned, and magnafluxed next the beams are ground, polished, and shot-peened, new high performance rod bolts installed, resized, checked for straight and balanced. They can be used in the common rail engine to replace the cracked rods. (Cracked rods refers to connecting rods made using powder metallurgy, The cap is then separated from the rod by a fracturing process, which results in an uneven mating surface due to the grain of the powdered metal.) Sold in matched sets only. Core charge may apply.

Africa's growth rates have been impressive over the last decade with many countries posting on average levels of 5 percent or higher, in some cases, making the continent one of the fastest growing region. Two questions arise that need to be addressed when analysing this remarkable turnaround. Firstly, how can this growth be harnessed to address the myriad challenges that face the continent? Secondly, what steps do African counties still need to take to consolidate and lay a solid platform for sustainable growth and development going forward? This brief article will focus aspects of these questions by highlighting some of the issues raised in the World Bank's Africa Competitiveness Report 2013.
Africa's challenges need to be discussed in the context of the governmental and institutional architecture of the state that drives the policy imperatives that underpin critically important economic oriented initiatives. Africa today has far more democratic governments than at any time since the independence movements in the 1960's. This is critical because it is only when there are strong governance practices, including regular elections and where the will of the people can be voiced that governments can put in practice policies that are a reflection of the popular will. Democratic states are also well placed to attract higher levels of foreign direct investment and drive economic reform initiatives. Higher rates of growth need to be supported by policies and initiatives that enable funds to be channelled into sustainable development programmes that are geared to building strong, stable and competitive states.
Sound policies geared towards sustainable development become all the more critical when one considers the demographic projections for the continent. One of the key challenges for the future will be providing jobs for the so-called "youth bulge" the continent is experiencing. According to a report in the Globalist, Africa's population is projected "to double to 2.1 billion by mid-century". This would mean that Africa could account for nearly "a quarter of the world's population". A young and emerging population can prove to be strength and opportunity only where sufficient employment opportunities abound and policies of inclusiveness are fostered. This makes thinking about economic competitiveness all the more relevant.
The World Bank's Africa Competitiveness Report 2013 was unveiled in Cape Town during the World Economic Forum held in May this year. The report notes that, despite high levels of growth, living standards have not kept pace. The World Bank report highlights the need for strong public institutions, aligned with social investments in education and skills building programmes and projects that nurture innovation. The report notes the need to foster public-private initiatives in building the continent's infrastructure across the social and economic spectrum. The report goes further and argues that this type of initiative, namely partnering with private sector organisations holds the key to unlocking Africa's competitiveness.
Three areas persistently appear in any discussion of what Africa needs to achieve to move onto a sustainable growth trajectory. The World Bank's report too underlines these, including: regional integration; trade liberalisation; and infrastructure development.
An economic growth and development agenda centred on regional integration, infrastructure expansion and trade liberalisation should be key objectives for the following reasons:
•The power to unlock innovation and technology transfer;
•Sharing of expertise coupled with shared learning;
•Skills building;
•Greater economic efficiency and productivity;
•Enhanced linkages with both internal markets (within Africa) and external thereby boosting trade;
•Higher levels of foreign direct investment;
•Enhanced competitiveness; and
•Increased revenue generation to underpin governmental programmes.
Why does the report have competitiveness as a central area of concern? It is argued that one of the most important factors in attracting foreign investment and thereby assisting in boosting economic growth is competitiveness. Competitiveness also means that one will realise higher rates of return on one's investment. More competitive countries are characterised by populations who are skilled and highly productive thereby making investments more efficient and effective.
The World Bank Report lists a number of policy initiatives that are needed to drive regional integration and competitiveness, namely: streamlining import and export procedures; harnessing ICT's; improving the energy sector; modernising and strengthening the transport sector; and finally building growth poles.
All of these initiatives will depend upon strong states and robust state institutions governed by leaders who support and design policies geared to boosting education and skills training, including innovation and a greater reliance on ICT's leading to higher levels of productivity. Regional integration initiatives will produce the economies of scale so sorely required and a range of critical spin-offs. Multi-pronged strategies focusing on the development of human capital, state building and a strong and vibrant regional agenda, allied with drawing in the private sector will ensure a continent on the road to being more competitive. The key to competitiveness is that it ultimately unlocks economic growth through securing higher levels of foreign direct investment and thereby securing sustainable socio-economic development. Only strong, vibrant and competitive economies will provide for the citizens of today and the burgeoning youth of tomorrow.

I think it is pretty normal, especially if your second child is of the opposite sex as the first child or if you are having mulitples. Also, if your friends and family decide to have one for you then it has to be okay.

Absolutely, 2 of my daughters had showers for their 2nd children. There's always new things out to try and things you want for the new one. Hand me downs are incredible but you always want to show them off in something new or even a new blanket or two in case the first one is attached to what is theirs. Older kids don't always want to share when a new baby comes along! BEsides it's a nice support group for the mom & gives the mom something fun to look forward to before the endless feedings & loss of sleep start over again! Have a Party what will it hurt??
Enjoy your new baby!

my children are 2 1/2 years apart i didnt care either way about a second shower but my sister was due 5 months after me and everybody was giving her a shower and as an after thoght they threw me one but i insited on no gifts just a potluck if they really wanted to bring something and we had lots of fun and a few people just brought gift cards which really help with the diapers
Melissa - posted on 02/21/2009
I don't see anything wrong with wanting to celebrate the birth of your second child with a party. If you have a lot of things from the first baby and don't need much your registry will reflect that. As far as rules of etiquette does anyone even follow that stuff anymore? You should do whatever you, your family and friends want to do. If you need things or if they express a desire to do it then I say go for it! A baby shower is not just about presents--it is about celebrating this new life. I had two showers, one at my college and one my family gave me. My college shower was a diaper party where everyone was just asked to bring a pack of diapers. It helped me get stocked up on something you need for every baby and was inexpensive for my friends who are on a limited budget. They could not come to my big baby shower and WANTED to celebrate this special time with me.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I had one with my son Brandon. I ended up giving all of his stuff away. when I got pregnant with son Andrew I didn't have anything. I was lucky there was people giving me stuff. I have a friend at church that gives me all of her little boy clothes. My boys are 6 years apart. I don't love Brandon more then I do Andrew. I do cherish one thing more of Andrews then I do Brandon's baby stuff, a lady I go to church with made Andrew a homemade baby quilt. Who would say if I had been going to church when Brandon was born that he wouldn't have one too. I love both of my boys the same.

i dont think so usually.... but im sure some ppl do... i dont plan on having one for my second b/c i already have everything i could possibly need (saving it all) other than a few things if it's a girl :) maybe some ppl do when the kids are far apart in age and saving things was just not practical... maybe have a celebration but tell ppl not to buy nething over $20 or watever... if u need big things ask parents or close family members to help... but ya u should celebrate somehow! maybe just dont make it as big as the first baby shower
Rachel - posted on 02/21/2009
My friends threw me one because I had off-season babies...my first was born in the spring in Florida...my second was born in December in Germany...BIG difference in clothing needs for a newborn...so I guess it just depends on your situation.
Danielle - posted on 02/21/2009
I think the generally accepted rule is that no, you don't get a baby shower for your second baby. However, I have never known my group at work to not give a baby shower for subsequent pregnancies. I wouldn't expect one from your friends and family, but if you work there's a good chance your coworkers would do something for you. I am on my second pregnancy and would definitely not be surprised if my coworkers throw one for me (especially since I couldn't attend my first one they threw since I was already out on disability!)
Linda - posted on 02/21/2009
Absolutely, why would it be different for your second, or third child. I think that the experience will not be as exciting as the first time, but as many other things it should be just as important.

I think having a baby shower for every child is ok. I see it as a celebration for mom. your having a baby woo hoo. I think not having one emphasises the only the first child counts for anything cycle.
Amie - posted on 02/20/2009
I don't think there's anything wrong with it if it's what the parents wants. My family and friends asked me with each of my children and I said no. I preferred to just have them come over when they could to meet the new baby when they were born than put all the time and effort into it. We still ended up with a load of gifts with each child, every time someone came over there was a gift. It was quite annoying for me personally. We had everything we needed and told everyone specifically, don't buy anything just come have coffee and see baby. I dunno, some people just get way to into other people's kids. I was happy they were so happy about the kids I just wish people had respected our wishes more. Just more crap to store and eventually get rid of. =)

I think it is fine to have a second baby shower and even a third. I had a second (my girls were three years apart). I had gotten rid of all of my baby gear two months before I gor pregnant and it turned out great. A different group of friends threw each shower though. It's up to you.
Angie - posted on 02/20/2009
I think its ok to do a second babyshower. Why not, if you need help with things or have a different gender the second time then you should have a second one. I loved my babyshower and I think everyone should have one for each of their kids. Its one of the perks of being preg!! good luck! :)
Ann - posted on 02/20/2009
I did or each of mine. Each child should be celebrated. Each should have their own party. And moms are always going to need stuff for the extra new addition. Bring on baby shower #2!

The ladies at church had a shower for her, and it was the greatest because the baby got to open all her own gifts (and eat cake)! I think it was maybe the best shower I ever had (and by the way, I had showers for all of mine, and was eternally grateful). That is a thought-sometimes when a baby is early for instance, the shower will be held after the baby is born. That way people can see the baby, which is a huge hit, and are sure of the sex and size. That is kind of a nice way to play it when it is a second baby and maybe you don't need everything ahead of time.

From what I understand is if you are on a child other than your first and someone would like to throw you a shower it is called a "sprinkle" because you are usually not in as much of a need of items therefore you are not being showered as previously. I had one with my first but not my second. On the otherhand I just threw one for a friend last year and it was her 4th child. Hope this helps!!

i am currently pregnant with my 2nd but my first is only 9 months old. they are only going to be 14 months apart so there wont be another one for me!...being so close in age i have absolutely everything i need and would just end up with a whole bunch of stuff that i wouldnt need so in my case it would be pointless. my first was a boy and even if this one is a girl there still wont be another one. i just feel that in my case it would be greedy seeing as my first baby shower wasnt even a yr ago. my sister on the other hand is having her 3rd child and her first baby shower was 6 yrs ago so we more than likely will throw her one. i think it depends on how the person feels on it and also how far apart your children are....

I didn't read all the posts above, but I just have to say, here in the South, we love to throw a shower! We quite often do showers for each baby. Even if they are close in age and you kept everything, you will need diapers and wipes. Bibs often are worn out after one baby. If they are quite close in age, you might need more crib sheets and bath towels as you would still be using them for the first baby. While you might not need all the big things, there are still lots of things that you can use, and it is also nice for each baby to have some new things, not just sibling hand-me-downs. I couldn't imagine ever asking someone to throw you a shower (for any baby), but if someone suggests it or offers, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. We all love to buy cute baby things!

I think it all depends on how close in age, etc, but do agree that all children are special and deserve their own recognition, celebrations, etc . . it's not something I would ask for or expect, but my son's are going to be 8 years apart (we're currently expecting) and I have nothing from before as was divorced . . I certainly appreciate that my friends and family are excited and want to throw a party to celebrate our new family member and it is my husband's first baby, so it's exciting for him too . . also my older son will be included and is looking forward to it . .

i've recently found out that most people say no to the second baby shower (if it is same dad) i think it's silly. if there is a different dad, there is a whole new set of grandparents/aunts, etc, so there usually is a shower. either way, i always try to get something for each of my friends' babies regardless of the baby daddy situation!
Kathi - posted on 02/20/2009
Yes- we do here in the east coast. Gifts lean more toward diapers and infant clothes though since the expecting mom likely has all the big stuff already.
Danielle - posted on 02/20/2009
I have two children and they are 10 years apart. I saved nothing from my first child so I was not prepared at all for the second. A close family member planned a baby shower for my second child and it was great. It was small with only close friends and family but that's what made it all the more special. I don't think I'm going to get rid of anything this time.

I did because i was in a different state and had different friends then i had when i had my first shower.
Krysti - posted on 02/20/2009
I'm having my second baby and my family is throwing me another baby shower!! This time around it's so much about getting stuff for the baby but celebrating for the baby and getting together with friends and having a great time!! That's how I see it atleast! :)

I think it is fine to have a second baby shower and even a third. I had a second (my girls were three years apart). I had gotten rid of all of my baby gear two months before I gor pregnant and it turned out great. A different group of friends threw each shower though. It's up to you.
Stephanie - posted on 02/20/2009
i did...my first was a boy and my second was a girl, so a shower was needed. and now i am pregnant with #3 and i just donated all my maternity clothes, baby clothes and furniture right before christmas...my daughter is almost 4 so i figured it was time to let it all go and then....SURPRISE!!! so if i can help it, i will be having a shower for my 3rd! :)
Samantha - posted on 02/20/2009
Well, I think you are all lucky! I must admitt I was a little sad (ok, a lot) when no one offered to have one for my second child! I had gotten rid of some of the stuff from my first child and they were born in different seasons (first in july and second in january) even if they are both girls. My girls are 4 1/2 years apart, and even if people did not want to "shower" me with gifts, my husband and I had tried for a few years with many infertility treatments for our second child. I believe that was something that needed to be celebrated!
Goldie - posted on 02/20/2009
I felt bad at first when the ladies at church wanted to have me a shower but I am so happy I agreed. I didn't realize how much I had gotten rid of even though my daughter is just 22 months old. Our second is due in May.
Jennifer - posted on 02/20/2009
I've had a baby shower thrown for each of my children (3 so far). None were my idea or suggestion, but it was nice. With 3 girls in a row, they asked if there was anything in particular I needed, and I just asked for clothes and diapers and wipes with the 3rd. Now if #4 is a boy, a shower would be appriciated as I have nothing for a boy!
Wendy - posted on 02/20/2009
It definetly depends on if you have willing participants....personally, I believe that unless your kids are far apart in age, we shouldn't expect our friends/family to throw a baby shower for us. Alot of what I had with my daughter, was still in very good condition and could also be used by my second child.
I did have two showers - one for each of my children - but they were thrown by two seperate groups of friends.
Jill - posted on 02/20/2009
I didn't with my second (they were only 11 months apart) but I did with my third. I have given "diaper showers" for friends. We usually have it after the baby is born so everyone can meet the new baby. I make a diaper cake, diaper wreath, and/or diaper babies to use for decorations and hint that the baby/mommy doesn't need anything, except diapers. We usually put in the invitation that we will have a raffle. Every pack of diapers or wipes that they bring gets them in the raffle. You can pick whatever "prize" you want to have. We have 2 raffles, a bigger prize for diapers and a smaller prize for wipes. The reason I like this is because every baby is going to need diapers, you can't reuse those like you can with clothes and toys, unless you use cloth diapers. I think that there should be some sort of celebration for every baby, whether it be your 1st or your last. All the baby books I've seen have a page or two to fill out about the shower. I didn't get to fill out my 2nd sons page and now I feel bad for him and wish I would have had something to celebrate and record for him to keep when he gets older. Hope this helps you a little.

I was always under the impression that proper etiquette is to only have a baby shower for the first pregnancy. The idea behind a baby shower is to get all of the baby gear you don't have before having children. I have known people to have them for their second pregnancy, because that baby was of the opposite gender as their first, but I'm not too sure I agree with that. I think it's acceptable to have a baby shower for your second baby if you have him or her years after your first one, then you probably don't have any more baby gear left. I'm pregnant with my second child and I am not planning on having a baby shower this time around.
Christina - posted on 02/20/2009
I had one for my first, second and third....and i had them each two years apart. With each child there was a family member or friend that wanted to throw me one, and i wasnt going to turn down a celebration for my baby. they each deserve it. Plus, i truely did need the items. things get worn out and need to be replace.

Hi i live in england (sorry dont know where your from) we dont traditionally do baby showers but if you did with your first then why not with your second? i think you should, we all like to spoil our closest friends when they are having a baby so go for it and enjoy x

By artist/designer Martí Riba
A settlement originally named "Izcuinapan" (Náhualtl for Dog's River) by the native indigenous people, San Miguel was founded near a spring of water called "El Chorro." The crystalline waters were discovered by the thirsty, working dogs of Fray Bernardo de Cossin during his expedition. This new-found spring supplied the growing city with water for many years and is still the site of flowing waters for bathing and washing.
Our logo is based on this beautiful legend about San Miguel's founding. A dog drawn in prehispanic style is shown drinking the water from El Chorro; this water gave rise to one of the most stunning places on Earth. The dog represents an ancient animal that turns water, wisdom and inspiration into beautiful words, phrases and books. The symbol unites San Miguel with the celebraton of the written word that has taken place here for decades and centuries.

William Starke Rosecrans
"Old Rosy"
(1819-1898 )
William S. Rosecrans was born Sept.6, 1819 at Delaware City, Ohio, the son of Crandell Rosecrans and Jane Hopkins and the great-grandson of Stephen Hopkins, colonial Governor of Rhode Island and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Hopkins also co-authored with John Adams, the draft of the Articles of Confederation.
Rosecrans was a graduate of the Class of 1842 at West Point ( 5th in the class of 56). Among his classmates were: James Longstreet, Richard H. Anderson, Abner Doubleday, John Newton, George Sykes, Seth Williams, Lafayette McClaws, Alexander P. Stewart, John Pope, D.H. Hill, and Earl Van Dorn. He was the roommate of James Longstreet and A.P. Stewart.
Rosecrans was assigned engineering duty upon graduation but resigned from the Army in 1854, and became an architect and a civil engineer. His rise in business was astounding. He took over direction of mining in western Virginia (West Virginia today) where his geological surveys pointed with remarkable accuracy to profitable new veins of coal. He became President of a navigation company formed to transport coal. He was also an inventor. Numbered among his inventions were odorless oil, a round lamp wick, a short practical lamp chimney, and a new and economical method of manufacturing soap. While in the laboratory a safety lamp exploded and burned him terribly. He was bedridden for 18 months recovering from the burns. Just as his recovery from burns were coming to a conclusion the Civil War broke out.
His first duties in the war were for the state of Ohio when he became the drillmaster for the 'Marion Rifles'. After which he became the engineering officer that laid the plan for Camp Dennison, Ohio and eventually became the Commanding Officer of the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which among its members were Rutherford B. Hayes, William McKinley, and Stanley Matthews, a future Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
Rosecrans was soon appointed a Brigadier General in the regular Army in which he was a successful commander at Rich Mountain, Virginia. After Rich Mountain, George McClellan received much credit for the success there and was promoted to the Commanding General of the Army of the Potomac and eventually General-in-Chief of the Union Armies. Yet it was Rosecrans that developed and carried out the plans that gained the victory at Rich Mountain. McClellan did not give him any credit in the official reports. Thus Rosecrans refused to go east with McClellan and requested a transfer to the west.
In the west, Rosecrans was placed in charge of the left wing of the Army of the Mississippi at Iuka and Corinth. At both he did ably. After Corinth animosities between Grant and Rosecrans arose. Grant blamed Rosecrans for not pursuing the Confederate Army after Corinth and Rosecrans placed blame on Grant for not sending reinforcements during and immediately after the Battle of Corinth.
After Corinth, Rosecrans was given command of the XIV Corps and promotion to Major General. The promotion was back dated to March 1862 so that Rosecrans would outrank Major General Thomas. As Commanding General of the XIV Corps Rosecrans secured a victory at Stones River(Murfreesboro) and immediately began the reorganization of the XIV Corps into the Army of the Cumberland. He then embarked upon the Tullahoma Campaign and ousted the Confederates from Chattanooga with fewer then 500 casualties in the whole army.
Rosecrans was loved by the men of his Army but was harsh on his officers. A very problematic fault of Rosecrans was that once a battle began he became very excitable which led him to stutter and become very difficult to understand. Another problem of Rosecrans was he would micro-manage the movements of units himself instead of using the chain of command to direct movements.
These problems were never more apparent than at Chickamauga. Rosecrans issued an order to General Wood "to close in and support his left." This order created a hole in the Union line which coincided with Longstreet's attack and led to the Confederate victory. Because of the defeat, Rosecrans was relieved of command of the Army of the Cumberland and would eventually be given command of the Department of Missouri until wars end.
Rosecrans resigned from the Army in 1867 to resume his career in business. He eventually would become Minister to Mexico, serve in Congress representing California, and register of the Treasury. William S. Rosecrans died March 11, 1898 at Redondo, California and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

MIAMI BEACH (Sep. 20)
Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, adopted today at its 53rd annual convention here a goal of $9,898,500 for its 1967-68 programs in Israel and budgeted $1,629,074 for its United States program. The 2,000 delegates also reelected Mrs. Mortimer Jacobson to a fourth one-year term as president.
The Israeli programs goal included $6,000,000 for the Hadassah medical organization. $2,300,000 for Youth Aliyah, $700,000 for the Jewish National Fund, $650,000 for its vocational education program, and $100,000 for Hadassah supplies.
In another action, the delegates agreed to sponsor Young Judea and to create a new and expanded Zionist youth movement in this country. Mrs. Jacobson said that the new Hadassah youth movement would include boys and girls, and young men and women, from nine to 25 years. She said it was being launched with a membership base of 15,000, made up of members of Young Judea and Junior Hadassah. She also reported that a third group for young adults from 18 to 25 was being organized and would have its founding convention in November. She said Junior Hadassah members and Young Judean graduates in the 18 to 25 age category would form the nucleus of the third group.
Asserting that only one-third of some 1,000,000 Jewish young people were affiliated with Jewish youth groups, she said the new group would be aimed at "the unaffiliated and uncommitted" and would not compete with existing American Jewish youth groups. She added that the new group would offer a wide range of seminars and year around club activities, including summer group programs in this country and summer institutes and year around study courses in Israel, as well as scholarship programs for study in Israel.
She stated that the new youth group would have an initial budget of $500,000 to be provided by Hadassah. Young Judea formally asked for Hadassah sponsorship because of the scheduled dissolution of the American Zionist Youth Commission through which Hadassah, in partnership with the Zionist Organization of America, had sponsored Young Judea since 1941.

Build your own class using the Ascended Soul system and embark on challenging quests to take your RPG experience to new heights of achievement and excitement!
Rift is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) for PC that challenges players to stop an ongoing invasion of their world by horrific creatures from other planes of existence, while simultaneously growing ever more powerful by doing so. These creatures appear at a variety of elemental rifts that erupt at the confluence of these planes. Using an extensive level of customization, which allows players to very nearly create their own character classes, players defeat enemies, seal rifts and draw power from them. Additional features include: standard quest gameplay as well as player vs. player action, two factions each containing multiple races and a dynamic world full of unpredictability.

Rift is set on Telara, a fantasy world which lies alarmingly close to a variety of other planes of existence In the final days of the Mathosian civil war, the Ward that protected Telara from planar convergence with these other worlds was severely weakened by a disaster known as the Shade. Since that time, rifts between Telara and other planes have been increasingly devastating the land, and old enemies in the form of monsters, held at bay by elemental prisons have begun actively clawing their way out. Telara's greatest enemy, the god Regulos, pounds against the outside of the Ward, seeking reentry into Telara to finish the job he once started. Meanwhile, Telara's own pantheon of gods has suddenly grown silent, and the world is descending into total chaos.
The people of Telara are now convinced that the end of the world is at hand. In these desperate final days, two major factions have arisen to battle the coming apocalypse: the Guardians and the Defiant. Though each faction wants to save the world, their beliefs and methods differ, and they war upon each other as often as they do other enemies of Telara.
Factions and Souls
Rift contains two main factions, the Guardians and the Defiant. Within either of these factions players can choose from four character callings, Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, Mage. Further, within these players gain access to a variety of different character possibilities known as "souls" - each soul granting players access to a unique "Soul Tree," which contains all of the traits and abilities that a soul had mastered during its life. As your character levels up, you earn soul points that can be used to improve that tree's soul level, granting players access to even more powerful traits and abilities. As a player's character grows in power, so does his or her ability to take on, or "attune" souls. A maximum-level player will be able to attune up to three souls of their choosing each with their own attributes. Souls grow in power as they become more specialized, and have well-rounded abilities that make them great for both solo and group play. The result is the ability to create your own class for virtually any situation.
Although it can be played on its own, Rift like all MMORPGs is designed to be played with others online. Players assume the role of an "Ascended Soul" - a Telaran slain during the great Shade War and resurrected to combat the forces of Regulos, the dragon god of extinction. Once a character's calling and initial soul(s) are selected players can take on quests alone or join together in loose confederations or more organized guilds to seek to defeat creatures that are spawned from rifts dynamically. Close the openings, and gain rewards to progress and level up. Rewards are given for all sorts of actions, including attacks, healing and more. Of course different guilds will also seek to undermine each other as well, leading to substantial player vs. player combat opportunities.

Nintendo pioneered handheld entertainment in the '80s and famously made it fully mobile and accessible to millions around the world with the Game Boy and DS video game systems. Now, Nintendo is taking things to the next level by transforming the way people access, experience, create and share content with the new Nintendo DSi system, the third iteration of the world's best-selling portable video game system.

The DSi external camera in action.

View larger.
The System
The Nintendo DSi is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek, folding design-loaded with features designed to create a unique gaming experience. Like the DS and DS Lite before it, the DSi features Nintendo's trademark stylus-driven touchscreen technology, but determined to make portable gaming simultaneously larger and smaller in all the right places, Nintendo has also created the DSi with significantly larger screens and an even slimmer body design than its earlier cousins. Other features include the ability to snap photos with built-in cameras, edit and send them to friends, play back your music with Nintendo DSi Sound, or browse the Internet with the Nintendo DSi Browser. From playing games to just playing around, the Nintendo DSi does it all.
The DSi's Two Digital Cameras
The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo DSi system are its two cameras - one camera is situated on the external body pointing away from the user, and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system, the DSi Cameras feature 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your photos, offering an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games, and in the process provide developers with a new tool to devise creative games and experiences. If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of sight.
DSi Sound
Another enhanced feature is the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. The mic is located between the two screens when the device is flipped open, and there is also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music saved on an SD card, even with the screen shut.
The DSiWare
In the world of software, Nintendo DSi will be the platform for the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications. The Nintendo DSiWare application will populate Nintendo DSi with software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points directly to the portable system, just as WiiWare has with Nintendo's Wii console. Developers big and small are invited to create software that makes use of the properties and functions of the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.
Games and Backwards Compatibility
In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DS games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system. As an example of the quality of games that DSi players can expect to see both from both Nintendo and third-party game developers, at the launch of the DSi Nintendo also released Rhythm Heaven. A wildly popular rhythm game in Japan, where it has sold nearly 2 million copies since its release in mid 2008, Rhythm Heaven features catchy tunes, charming characters, and a wide variety of rhythm games as it makes maximum use of the DSi's functionality.
Nintendo DSi owners have even more ways to share their experiences with friends and family. Using an Internet-connected Nintendo DSi system and the Nintendo DSi Camera application, Facebook members can take pictures with either of the system's two cameras and upload their photos directly to their Facebook profile. While reviewing pictures they've stored in the Nintendo DSi Camera album, which includes photos taken by users and manipulated using the built-in interactive lenses, users can simply tap the Facebook icon on the system's touch screen to instantly transmit photos to the user's Facebook profile. The user's system must be configured to a wireless broadband Internet connection for the transmission of photos.

Though the Long County basketball team lost a heart-breaker 1-0 to the Tattnall County in Reidsville Thursday, coach Brian Thomas was pleased with his team's performance.
"We played really good defense…" Thomas said. "It was led by Cody Fleck on the mound. He threw strikes all night and forced Tattnall's hitters to hit his pitches. (Also) Chase Rogers had a great night at third, knocking down a couple of good shots by Tattnall's hitters."
Despite picking up the loss, starting pitcher Fleck had a good outing, going the distance and allowing only one unearned run. He allowed four hits and two walks and struck out eight batters.
Thomas also praised his opponents.
"Their pitching was very good (and) they were able to keep our hitters off balance. We tip our caps to those guys… They are a class bunch and a good baseball team. This was a great opportunity for us to match up with an AAA school with quality players and coaches," the coach said.
After Thursday's game, both the Blue Tide and the Battle Creek Warriors hold 2-1 records. Long County faced Bradwell Institute (1-0) in Ludowici on Saturday in a rescheduled contest that had been postponed by rain. The two teams will play again at 6 p.m. Monday in Hinesville.

Tokyo ESP: Tokyo ESP begins with Rinka Urushiba as a fairly normal high school girl, though she is a bit poor and her only family is her father. This forces her to work as a waitress after high school to raise money for them to secure rent and food. One day, she sees a penguin and some glowing fish swimming through the sky. Rinka might have thought it was a hallucination if there had not been another witness with her, a boy from her school with a strangely scratched-up face. Contact with a fish causes her to pass out, and when she awakens, she has developed the power to move through inanimate objects such as the floor of her apartment. She meets a fellow high school student named Kyotaro Azuma, who has the ability to teleport. The two of them use their ESP powers to take on individuals who have decided to use them for evil. However, there is an organization that plans for a bigger scheme to secure utopia with their ranks consisting of strong ESP fighters and users.

We have two boys and we have built two different robot kits in recent months. I am here to tell you their relative merits. The first robot kit, pictured above, is the Toysmith 4M Tin Can Robot Kit. (I have no idea what the 4M means). This kit was put together by an 8 year old who needed a little help to put all the parts together. It also requires batteries and the finished result looks very roboty. It moves awkwardly and slowly, but it does indeed move. They make a big deal about it teaching recycling because it uses a soda can, but that lesson may be severely lessened when you have to go out and purchase a soda for the express purpose of making a robot out of the can after pouring the actual soda down the drain (Don't be like me).
This is what the box looks like
The other robot kit we have made recently is the Toysmith Smart Robot.
This one does not require a can, it comes with all its parts (although it is important to know that both kits need batteries which are not included). This one looks like a security camera, but it really moves. One of the boys set up a maze out of books and the robot zoomed through it changing direction every time it hit a wall. The kids liked this one more than the other because it was so much faster, speed winning out over looks. This one was also put together by an 8 year old who needed a little help. Here is what the box looks like:
So, our verdict is that they were both cool and not too hard to put together. The tin can robot looks more like you want a robot to look and the smart robot is much more satisfying because it goes so much faster. Choose according to your robot wants and needs.

In honour of Movember – men's health awareness month – I'm going to talk about prostate cancer. Not in the usual way – PSA (prostate-specific antigen) screens and clinical exams – but rather, from the perspective of cancer stem cells (CSCs), and their role in prostate cancer. This focus is for several reasons: 1) there are many discussions regarding PSA screening out there already (e.g. here and here); 2) Movember is about awareness, so let's be more aware of the biology behind the disease; and 3) CSC research could lead to new diagnostic and treatment options for prostate cancer, so it's important to raise awareness for this kind of research too!
CSCs are responsible for initiating tumour growth (see my original post on CSCs) – a property that makes them attractive therapeutic targets: if you can kill the initiators, then there is nothing to sustain the growth of the tumour, allowing for full eradication of the disease and prevention of relapse and/or metastasis.
A research team known for determining the prostate CSC hierarchy recently made some interesting discoveries about prostate CSCs and the expression of PSA (the protein measured during PSA screens). The team was curious to know why recurring prostate cancer becomes insensitive to androgen-deprivation therapy (which mimics castration by blocking the effects of testosterone, as the hormone plays a role in prostate cancer), and they found that cells with low levels of PSA protein (PSAlo) were responsible for the lack of treatment effectiveness.
…the results suggest that PSA levels may not be as dependable as we'd like for predicting prostate cancer, at least for late stage or recurrent cases."
They performed experiments to assess stem cell-like properties, and determined that not only did PSAlo cells possess a higher capacity for self-renewal, but they were also able to produce cells exactly like themselves (PSAlo) and cells that had higher levels of PSA protein (PSA+ cells). This is known as asymmetrical cell division, a hallmark of stem cells. In contrast, PSA+ cells could only produce more PSA+ cells. Furthermore, PSAlo cells also possessed several other indicators of CSCs: they were quiescent (not actively participating in the cell cycle), chemotherapy-resistant, expressed high levels of stem cell-associated genes, and high levels of CD44 and α2β1 (current markers of prostate stem cells and prostate CSCs, as described above).
While both PSA+ and PSAlo cells had comparable abilities to initiate tumour growth in mice, PSAlo cells were significantly more successful at perpetuating tumour growth after multiple rounds of tumour cell injection (this is called serial transplantation, and is considered the gold-standard for CSC identification), and in mice treated by various means of androgen-deprivation. These results not only demonstrate that PSAlo cells possess CSC capabilities, but that they are also responsible for recurrent disease after androgen-deprivation therapy.
What I find most interesting about this study is that the results suggest that PSA levels may not be as dependable as we'd like for predicting prostate cancer, at least for late stage or recurrent cases. The presence of a CSC population – PSAlo cells – in greater numbers is strongly indicative of more severe disease status. Biologically, this makes sense, as the differentiated luminal cells (see Figure 1) are responsible for PSA production, are sensitive to androgen-deprivation therapy, and likely form the bulk of the tumour mass in early stages. Their susceptibility to current therapies allows them to be killed off, and prevents them from growing back. Meanwhile, treatment-resistant CSCs remain unscathed, and are able to re-grow without expression of PSA and sensitivity to androgen-deprivation therapy (among others): bad news for the patient.
Prostate CSC seem to have high clinical relevance to both disease progression and treatment options/outcomes. In a time where we are more than aware of the controversy surrounding the usefulness of the PSA screen, and still don't really know what to do with the test, perhaps it's time to consider prostate cancer stem cells and examine their potential for screening and diagnostic purposes.

Raja Pratap Rai (Ashok Kumar) and his stepmother Rani Maa (Durga Khote) are bitter enemies, who live separately. Rani Maa's daughter-in-law and Pratap Rai's wife Parvati (Bina Rai) are pregnant at the same time. Pratap Rai is at loggerheads with Parvati's brother Dr.Bharti (Rehman) due to an old feud and throws him and Parvati out from his house. Parvati gives birth to a son, Somu, while Rani Maa's daughter-in-law dies during the birth of her son, Shankar. In an effort to reconcile differences between mother and step-son, Parvati also brings up the motherless Shankar.
Later Pratap Rai changes his mind and brings back his wife & son, who infact is Rani Maa's grandson Shankar. Parvati brings her own son Somu who lives in the house like a servant, while Rani Maa's grandson Shankar is brought up as Pratap Rai's heir. Both Shankar and Somu are very close to each other and to Parvati, their mother.
Tanuja and Mumtaz play the romantic interests of the two grown-up sons and with various interesting twists and turns, this family drama leads to the gripping climax of Pratap Rai faced with the dilemma of the identity of his real son.
Stellar performances by veterans Ashok Kumar, Bina Rai and Durga Khote were the hallmark of this heart-rending film, which had a fine musical score by Roshan with melodies like 'Chale Aaye Re', 'Jaata Hoon Main' and the popular 'Ae Maa Teri Soorat Se Alag'.
