I was questing through Uldum today on my Warlock, when I happened to fly by the dragon Myzerian who patrols around the Obelisk of the Moon. When you complete the quest, "The Shroud of the Makers", you see him get blown up in the cinematic, yet here he was flying around with 1/3 of his […]

DALLAS -- The only personal challenge Darren Collison set for himself for this season was for the Dallas Mavericks to win another NBA title.
"Before I even got here I want to be successful on this team as far as a winner,'' Collison, the Mavs' point guard, said. "Every game starting with the (opening night game against the Los Angeles) Lakers, all the way to our last game of the season, all the way throughout the playoffs, I want to win as much games as we can.
"I think the city deserves it, the organization deserves it and we need to be successful as far as winning. They won a championship the year before the lockout (in 2011) -- that's what we're graded on. We're graded on a high level as far as winning.''

Welcome to the leading online resource centre for Nursing in Dubai. If you're considering an exciting move to further your career in nursing by moving to Dubai then you've landed on the right page!
Dubai is a booming metropolis with a huge demand for a professional, hard-working nurse such as yourself. The rapid growth of Dubai may be over, but the expansion of the city has left room for health care professionals to move in and really make a difference to an exciting new city and its population.
If you're sick of working in your current job with too little pay, too few benefits and no prospects then a change to a nursing job in Dubai may be exactly what you need.
Nursing in Dubai | Salary
The average salary expected for a nurse in Dubai is estimated to be between 2,500-10,000 UAD which equates to approximately $800-2500, £450-1600 or €525-2000.
The beginning salary for a nurse in Dubai is dependent on qualification and position as well as whether the hospital is funded privately or by the government. A huge advantage of nursing in Dubai however is that your income will be tax-free. Furthermore many nursing jobs in Dubai come with a wide range of benefits including insurance, accommodation allowance and travel expenses.
This is true of any nursing position worldwide, and wages much higher than this can be expect if you are hired for a nursing position within a company or for a private family.
Your recruitment agency or employer will have more details on your expected salary should you enquire.
Nursing in Dubai | Requirements
In order to begin your journey towards nursing in Dubai there are some requirements that you are going to have to meet. Namely, you are going to have the appropriate Nursing qualification to practice nursing in your home country and have no interruption in your nursing practice for more than 2 years. You are then required to pass the assessment set forth by the Dubai Health Authority. For more information on the requirements click here.
You will also be expected to have the appropriate working permits and Visas.
Advantages of Nursing in Dubai
There are a whole host of advantages to taking a nursing job in Dubai beyond just the warm climate and beautiful scenery. One of the most commonly cited is that earned income is tax free. This means that every UAD that you earn will yours to keep. Paid leave for nurses in Dubai is often very good too, with many roles offering up to 40 days paid holiday for full time workers.
Furthermore the employment benefits that many immigrating nurses receive when taking a job in Dubai are very generous. It is very common for nurses to receive free accommodation or a housing allowance. Alongside this many employers will also include dental, health and life insurance alongside travel allowances. These travel allowances will often fund both travel to the workplace as well as flights back to the country of origin for a nurse. Nurses with children can also receive an educational allowance for their children to go through school.
Disadvantages of Nursing in Dubai
The biggest disadvantage to pursuing your nursing career in Dubai is that you will usually be expected to work a slightly longer working week of 48 hours than the typical 40 hour work week is the USA, UK and many parts of Europe. Arguably this is not a big issue as Dubai health authorities tend to be stricter about the amount of overtime nurses can work, and so you are unlikely to be loaded with extra hours on top of this.
The language barrier for many will be the biggest issue. The official language of Dubai is Arabic, a non-Latin language. The fact that English is the second language of Dubai will come as a relief to many considering a move to Dubai to be a nurse. There are currently over 100,000 British expatriates so you will be far from alone if you're moving to Dubai as a Westerner!
Due to the fact Dubai is often considered an "international city" the Islamic laws in the city tend to be more lax than in other Islamic parts of the Middle East. It is not a requirement to wear traditional coverings for either men or women; instead it is only asked that you maintain a level of decency. Alcohol is also served in hundreds of bars and hotels across the city too thanks to the booming tourist industry in Dubai.

Being in Action
Full Product Description
This book investigates the way in which the actualistic ontology - i.e., the fact that God and human agents are beings-in-act in a covenant relationship - that underlies the Church Dogmatics of Karl Barth affects his conception of ethical agency. It analyses this effect along three paths of inquiry: knowing what is right (the noetic dimension), doing what is right (the ontic dimension), and achieving what is right (the telic dimension). The first section of the book explores the discipline of theological ethics as Barth construes it, both in its theoretical status and in its actual practice. In the second section, the ontological import of ethical agency for Barth is considered in relation to the divine action and the divine command. The final section of the book examines the teleological purpose envisaged in this theological ethics in terms of participation, witness, and glorification.
Being in Action by Paul T Nimmo was published by Continuum in February 2011 and is our 65378th best seller. The ISBN for Being in Action is 9780567099198.

Obama Responds to McCain Campaign Suspension
(Editor Note: The picture with this post looks like Obama is waving goodbye. That is a coincidence).
3:40 PM CST: The opening comment, "There is much blame to go around but we are now here. We have to act quickly but we have to get it right… I reached out to Senator McCain because many of my proposals were shared by Senator McCain… A joint statement might be useful… They called back about 2:30 ET today…"
Obama is reiterating his economic principles that should drive any decision. This writer cannot keep up. We will report as soon as we get the information.
Senator McCain and I talked this afternoon and we agree that we need a bi-partisan solution to the economic crisis. We should all do everything possible to get a bill passted… The risk of doing noting is economic catastrophe – that is a risk we cannot take… Let me open this up to questions."
Reporters want to know if McCain's action is political. Obama "It is my belief that this is exactly the time when the people of America need to hear from the person who will be elected President in about 40 days. We can be useful in solving this problem and present ourselves to the American people."
"Everyone should know that the Democratic standard bearer and Republican standard bearer have come together to solve this problem. "
"If I can be helpful then I am prepared to be anywhere at anytime. But we should not confuse our political agenda with a crisis in Washington."
"It may be necessary for both of us to be there to send a message about the importance of this legislation. But I must say that the legislation should cover the principles I have discussed."
"We should have the debate on national security. If we need to be in Washington we both have big planes and they can get us to Mississippi pretty quickly."
"We need to be focused on solving the problem. It is important that we communicate to the America people on what it is we need to do to get us out of this situation."

Turning 21? Your 21st birthday will happen only once and should be treated as an important celebration of your transition into adulthood. Although alcoholic beverages tend to be the main theme of 21st birthday parties in America, spending some time constructing a basic outline of how you'd like the night to go can help make your birthday the most memorable of your life.
Whether you're planning on going to a bar, a dance club or a party, you should be sure to start off the celebration by gathering friends and relatives at someplace special for a substantial birthday meal. Eating beforehand will help you kick the night off right and will give those closest to you a chance to shower you with cake and gifts before your entourage heads out for the evening.
If you're one of the first in your crew to turn 21, a night out at the bar with only one or two friends may be less than ideal and you'll likely want to plan for a more elaborate event that anyone can attend. Hosting a kid-themed birthday bash (complete with childhood board games, birthday hats and piñatas and perhaps even a bouncy castle) at home is a fun way to welcome adult life. Throwing a summertime birthday barbecue is another great way to include friends and family in your celebrations and assigning each guest to bring a different main dish, salad or dessert makes preparation for this type of casual event easy. If you have a special interest or hobby, hosting a party that incorporates your favorite pastime is a surefire way to enjoy the birthday experience with decorations available to transform living rooms or backyards into elaborately decorated venues with popular themes like beach party, poker night and 'roaring '20s.
When going out, arranging transportation (a reliable designated driver, a limo service or taxi) before the big day will go a long way in ensuring a safe and successful party experience. Handing out personalized disposable cameras to members of your inner group will give everyone an opportunity to snap photographs and is a fun way to document your entire birthday night from several different viewpoints.

VITAMIN C for Bacterial and Viral Infections in Chickens and ducks, New Learnings: 3/29/2014:
Several weeks ago, I read the book Curing the Incurable by Dr. Thomas Levy. The book recounts the story of pioneering doctors, such as Dr. Frederick Klenner, of South Carolina who practiced and documented the use of high doses of intravenous Vitamin C to "cure" viral diseases such as polio. The book also describes Vitamin C used as a therapy for bacterial diseases and inflammation. Why Vitamin C therapy has not become central to the practice of human medicine is a mystery.
Since 2004, an effective new way of delivering high doses of Vitamin C has become available, i.e., liposomal Vitamin C. This is technology makes use of lipid molecules that bind to lipids on one end and water on the other. These molecules form protective spheres around the Vitamin C that enable it to pass through the digestive tract and into the system without reduction in bio-availability. Livon Labs makes this stuff. Amazon sells it.
I have begun to use liposomal Vitamin C to successfully treat chicks with the viral disease fowl pox. It is vital that the chick receives supportive care such that it is adequately nourished and hydrated throughout the treatment. For chicks that start treatment early enough, lesions, on and around eyes and mouth, drop off within 2 days and no new lesions develop.
With any other treatment I have tried, lesions take up to 2 weeks to resolve and new lesions appear until the disease resolves. About 25% of the birds survive. Apparently survival rates are higher in other areas.
Most signficantly, for treating bacterial infections, such as bumblefoot, I have also tried using liposomal Vitamin C for a chicken that had an infection in her throat. Her throat was blocked so that food and water would not pass, and the airway was partially blocked. I gave her Vitamin C and honey, every 12 hours, through her vent. She was able to stand and move around, for five days but the lack of adequate nourishment weakened her and I was not able to save her despite being able to poke a hole in the material to allow me to insert a catheter down her throat to crop feed hers. I did a post mortem examination and found that the yellow solid material was about 50% disintegrated. If I had been able to insert the catheter before she became weakened, I think that I would have been able to save her. By comparison, in a similar case several years ago, oral antibiotics available to me, did not have the same effectiveness and speed in disintegrating the yellow solid material in the bird's throat. In addition, in talking to our local feed store chicken guy, he said that he was successful in saving a chicken with this condition by massaging the neck and using long, think forceps to gently pull the cheesy material out of the throat.
I also intend to try the Vitamin C therapy in the next case of bumblefoot.
As in human treatment with vitamin C, the most important thing is to get the dosage high enough to be therapeutic. I will be trying to establish appropriate dosages. I will also be using the vitamin C for any birds that get respiratory conditions.
I hope this information is helpful.
HISTORY: Imelda, our first Pekin duck, seemed to have a tendency to get bumblefoot when the weather get cold and mucky. The first year, Dr. Tom (a lovely vet who now work for a zoo in Poland) treated her with antibiotic and the infection slowly responded. When the problem reappeared the next year, I couldn't face another expensive course of antibiotics. I decided to try something else, and hooray, it worked.
First I made her a duck boot out of neoprene. See the pictures below.
For a few days I gave her a daily oral dose of Tylan 50 antibiotic (1 ml) I also did something I learned from the game cock people, I dribbled some Tylan right into the boot and on the wound. I also daubed her foot with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to try to reduce swelling and increase circulation. So the foot was in a moist, clean boot.
The callous covering the wound became soft after a day or two and I kinda dug at it each day till the wound opened up. Then I'd sluice Tylan and DMSO in it and wrap it up again. Finally, the callous came out altogether and there was a nice clean hole in her foot. At that point the wound seemed to shrink rapidly over the next few days. I decided to discontinue oral antibiotic and just treated the wound. The swelling and inflammation which had been large, hot and angry looking was deflated to less than a third of the size with no redness. The scab area is about a 3/16" in diameter. See picture below. All of this happened in about a week and a half. So it has been a much faster recovery than the previous 2 month treatment with oral antibiotics. I'm not afraid of bumblefoot any more.
Imelda, is gone now, but her son, a handsome Muscovy/Pekin, is one of the select few ducks who roam freely by the stable and come into the barn to mooch at feeding time. Mostly the stable ducks are those that I treated for broken legs or the very rare illness. My patients seem to like it at the stable, because when I take them back to the duck yard they fly back over to the stable.
I need to add something here about lead. At one point, in 2012, folks on the farm were shooting rats with a pellet gun in the duck yard. I began to have healthy ducks and geese getting very sick and dying very quickly. This was very unusual because ducks are so healthy and trouble free if you feed them properly and make clean water available, and give them proper sanitation. I looked at symptoms and what was different about what we were doing. Then one day it hit me that there must be pellets left on the ground. I looked up lead poisoning in water fowl and of course the answer was obvious. I put a ban on shooting and ducks stopped getting sick. I was able to save a number of the ducks who got sick with good nursing care – mainly, lots of hydration delivered via a catheter. The sickest duck that I was able to save, came to me virtually unconscious with her head lolling down. She has since returned to the duck yard and had ducklings. So, be aware of what gets introduced into your environment. Lead is terribly toxic for both humans and animals. I don't understand why lead pellets would be legally available.
One little story about Imelda – we used to take her over to the pond area by the pavilion, a good 400′ away from the duck yard. Sometimes things would get hectic and we would forget to take her back. There would be a session of panic and distress, thinking that something had happened to her; but no, she had walked through the garden, crossed the bridge and gone through the horse yard, and would be waiting patiently by the gate to the duck yard. She was a great duck!

Thoughts on Space
I recently finished Wyn Wachhorst's The Dream of Spaceflight, a series of essays about the history and meaning of–and desire for–space. There are a number of quotes in the book that perfectly expressed my own feelings about space and space exploration (whether that exploration is actual or virtual).
Wonder, in its larger sense, denotes the mysterium tremendum, the aura of unfathomable majesty, utterly humbling and wholly Other, surrounding the sublime and terrifying unknowns that border our models of reality–the dark forest, the empty desert, the sacred mountain, the boundless sea, the black silence of cosmic infinity. Thus we gaze into the night sky and feel not diminishment but dilation. We sense the vastness and passion of creation and glimpse an equally vast interior . . . We are aware of the stars only because we have evolved a corresponding inner space. (136-137)
I have loved space for as long as I can remember. There have been times in my life that I have wanted, even desperately so, to be able to explore the cosmos, to see nebulae and black holes; to explore worlds of acid atmosphere's etching patterns on strange rocks; to find our reflection in another sentient race; to listen to the vibrations of the big bang still reverberating throughout all of the universe. I used to fantasize about being abducted by aliens and while I would miss my family and friends, the chance to stay with them and explore "out there" would always be to good to give up and off I would go with my strange captors.
When looking at pictures from the Hubble or other space telescopes, I nearly always catch my breath, feel a tightness in my belly and a swirling motion in the center of my chest and feel like I am witness to something so truly majestic, beautiful and humbling that I am all at once reminded of how small we are as a species and so incredibly proud of our ability to take those pictures. We are smart enough to take pictures like this:
Or this:
Or this:
These are images that make me believe in humanity, in our capacity and potential to get past all the bullshit of violence and greed and desolation and anger that seem to rip peoples lives to shreds on a daily basis. The problems we face are incalculable, to be sure. But so is our potential.
I still remember, so very vividly, standing in in the middle of a Nevada desert at 3 am and soaking in the silence and the vastness and the intimacy of space. Space wasn't something "out there." Rather, I was always already in space. My spaceship is just a bit bigger and more unwieldy than the spaceships of science fiction and my own fantasies. I was, all a the same time, in and of and yet outside of the universe, aware that what I could see was such a small portion of the whole as to be nearly laughable.
Exploration, evolution, and self-transcendence are but different perspectives on the same process. (151)
I miss the sky. I miss the silence of living outside of a city. I miss the darkness that overflows from space and fills in all the cracks and crevices of the landscape late at night, when you sit still and silent for a long time, gazing at the universe through such limited eyes, but knowing that something deep inside of you is wholly connected to that endlessly exceeding hugeness. Connected by the very materials that make up your cells to those stars and galaxies and nebula and quasars and black holes and all the strange, beautiful collaborations of matter–collaborations on such scales that you really will never fully grasp them–wrapped, like islands of light, within the arms of an emptiness that can only be understood at deeply profound.
I want those nights back, those moments of peace and stillness and silence. Wachhorst didn't so much awaken these desires as he enunciated them, as well as pointing out some of the reasons that I have become enamored with the idea of moving to Truth or Consequence, New Mexico and becoming part of the creation of Spaceport America. Reasons that have to do with being part of something larger than myself, with making a small contribution to our species' long, long road from ocean to cosmos. Images of space have always triggered a spiritual feeling in my heart and mind. To help humanity leave our world, and venture–even tentatively–into the larger universe seems to me both an exciting adventure and a joyful, and deeply spiritual, undertaking. The following passage, while lengthy, speaks so eloquently to my own feelings, hopes, and desires surrounding space and space exploration that I will simply conclude with his words:
Perhaps in some recess of the psyche the human organism knows that it is a fractal of the reflexive universe itself, repeated in microcosmic multiplicity like a holographic plate–worlds within worlds within worlds–and that, far beyond the cold war reflex, our emergence into space rose inexorably from the taproot of evolution, the heartsong of a cosmos that is finally the dance of spirit. We are fascinated by the roiling surf for the same reason we are transfixed by fire; we too are matter asserting itself as energy. So are the fires of the night sky, where our being was written long before planets were born or oceans condensed or mortal cells emerged from primordial soup. The communion of cells formed a lung, a heart–an eye. And the world awoke. The price of vision was mortality, but its prize was the capacity for love and wonder. And if the cosmos is spirit incarnate, the the flame of life, the eye of consciousness, is its resurrection. Like salmon, we hurl ourselves against entropy, returning in fits and starts and occasional heroic leaps to our place of origin; as though the primal spirit had fallen into infinity multiformity and had somehow forgotten itself in the process. We are that ineffable essence, slowly, agonizingly, remembering. (164)

- Pope Francis Merchandise
- I Love Pope Francis Washington D.C. 2015 Bumper Sticker
Product Description
Proudly show your support and enthusiasm for Pope Francis' visit to Washington D.C. with this exclusive vinyl bumper sticker. These removable, UV resistant, 3x5.5 stickers will adhere to any flat clean surface and are by no means limited to cars--they can be applied to windows, laptops, guitar cases, water bottles, and so much more!
From the Nelson Family, founders of Catholic to the Max:
We are humbled and honored to be able to offer you this impressive selection of commemorative Papal merchandise and souvenirs that were actually in the presence of the Holy Father during his September 27th Mass in Philadelphia.
Everything that is currently for sale on our family business�� website is what was left from our trip to Philadelphia, and was in the presence of Pope Francis during the weekend��s Papal events. We recommend that you still get these items blessed by a priest following your purchase, but the fact remains that your Papal souvenirs were in Philadelphia with the Holy Father during the Festival of Families and the Sunday Papal Mass, and that is no small thing.
As an official vendor of the World Meeting and the City of Philadelphia, our family business was on-site in Philadelphia during the entire week of the Papal visit. During the week-long Congress where speakers such as Scott Hahn, Cardinal Sarah, Bishop Robert Barron, and Dr. Greg Popcak spoke on matters relating to the Family as an institution, the Nelson family was present at the Philadelphia Convention Center with an impressive 40-foot-long booth featuring beloved Catholic to the Max t-shirts, prayer cards, novena booklets, and Papal Commemorative souvenirs.
Once the Philadelphia Convention Center floor was unexpectedly shut down on Thursday evening prior to the Saturday and Sunday events with Pope Francis, we switched to Plan B: selling outdoors in front of Three Logan Square, a 55-story skyscraper in downtown Philadelphia that sits just south of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Due to our dynamic Catholic products, excellent location just outside a major security checkpoint, and family atmosphere (Mark and six kids working the tables), our booth was a hit! Many thousands of pilgrims passed by our tables over the weekend, and we were proud to meet good Catholic people from around the world who loved the Church and loved Pope Francis.
The experience of being in Philadelphia with Pope Francis and all the pilgrims was truly a life-changing event, and we are grateful to God for all the blessings and new opportunities that were given to our family business during the Papal visit in 2015.
It is our prayer that this Papal merchandise will bring you closer to Christ through the Church, and closer to the Church through Pope Francis, the Successor of St. Peter and chief representative of Christ��s Church on Earth.

Body/brain BOOGIE HISTORY
In 1998, after 31 years of teaching health, Jeff Haebig, Ph.D. devised a sequence of gestures that taught people how the body/brain learns. He used this Boogie routine to warm-up audiences prior to keynote addresses at major events, including the Brain Expo and International Alliance of Learning conferences. People mimicked the actions, becoming dendrites, axons, synapses, neurotransmitters, and various body/ brain functions. The Boogie was used to engage teenagers at student assembly programs, captivate toddlers at family fun learning festivals, and invigorate seniors at community learning celebrations. Many people enjoying this novel activity requested that a video be made showing the Boogie sequence and further explaining the neurobiology involved in learning.

(Updated: This post was selected to be featured on the Blogher website front page)
Dear real-life friend,
when I met you at a recent party and you told me that you needed to take a break from FB because it was interfering with your real life, it gave me occasion to pause and think. Of course, you don't know that I have a blog, but your situation seemed dangerously like mine, but with a twist. Ever since I started blogging, I've stopped writing.
Bloggers have always been looked down upon by writers in the past as either moms who want to maintain an online journal about their toddler's little exploits or someone who has too much time in their hands and just wants to pass the time figuratively scribbling with their keyboards! Bloggers were not considered 'serious writers'! Well, that pompous notion was thankfully smashed by many bloggers who have subsequently published some wonderful books, and the many more who write noteworthy material.
Still, bloggers are not writers. It's just the more intimate and immediate interaction that we share with our readers that make the experience different. For instance, when a couple of us in an awesome group on Facebook asked if anyone could provide us with a tutorial of how to navigate the confusing site that is BlogHer, Julie put together, in a matter of an hour, a very helpful post especially addressing this issue! You just cannot instigate such a immediate response as a writer!
It is this interaction that can get overwhelming though, at least for someone like me! Nowadays, it's not just that you write great content, it's also all about the marketing! And, the number of social media outlets has just exponentially increased, hasn't it? Is it enough to be on Facebook and Twitter alone? Think about the scores of potential new readers if you join Pinterest and Reddit! All those lost opportunities of gaining page views if you didn't promote your post on StumbleUpon or Digg or Delicious or ….you know what? I don't know how many more are out there and neither do I want to!
I'll admit that at first I snootily said that my content would speak for itself. I lied, of course, because I subsequently joined many of those social media sites! I couldn't bear that my baby blog not be noticed, you see! I inwardly craved the comments, the encouragement and, yes, the recognition! I hated the idea of competing with other bloggers, but that seemed to be what I was doing. I would tell myself that there were enough readers for all of us, but of course, I wanted a large slice of that pie!
The outcome of it is, I joined many sites; I couldn't keep up, so there they lie, gathering dust. In other sites, Facebook in particular, I ended up forging many wonderful relationships with other bloggers. I also ended up spending a lot; and I mean 'a lot'; of time chatting. I tried new types of writing similar to other bloggers, which is wonderful. Why, just last week, I attempted my first haiku!
But, all along there was this nagging voice in my head telling me that this was not what I had set out to do. I have a ton of posts all lodged in my mind, each wanting to be written, but now I find that I spend all my time checking my updates on email, Facebook, and Twitter. So, I empathize with you, dear real-life friend; this is not how it is supposed to be! You want to lead your real-life; I want to nurture my blog. It doesn't mean that I will leave Facebook like you want to and I am not standing in judgement of you by any means! I just want to get back to writing. I want to take inspiration from all my bloggy friends, but in the end, I must trust that my content will speak for itself.
At least, it will speak for me from now on.
I hope you find your Zen, with or without Facebook!
Leaving you with this inspiring video, shared by one of my very supportive friend:

Hookahs are water pipes that are used to smoke specially made tobacco that is usually flavored. They are also called a number of different names, including waterpipe, narghile, argileh, shisha, hubble-bubble, and goza. Hookah smoking is typically practiced in groups, with the same mouthpiece passed from person to person.
In recent years, there has been an increase in hookah use around the world, most notably among youth and college students. The Monitoring the Future survey found that in 2011, 18.5% of 12th grade students in the United States had used hookahs in the past year. This rate was slightly higher among boys (20%) than girls (17%). Other small-scale studies on young adults indicate that hookah smoking is more prevalent among university students in the United States, with past-year use ranging from 22% to 40%.
According to a study published in the 2012 issue of CDC's Preventing Chronic Disease, many hookah smokers believe that smoking a hookah carries less risk of tobacco-related disease than cigarette smoking. However, hookah smoke contains many of the same harmful toxins as cigarette smoke and has been associated with lung cancer, respiratory illness, low birth weight, and periodontal disease. According to a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) [PDF - 550KB], a hookah smoking session may expose the smoker to more smoke over a longer period of time than occurs when smoking a cigarette. Also, due to the method of smoking—including frequency of puffing, depth of inhalation, and length of the smoking session—hookah smokers may absorb higher concentrations of the same toxins found in cigarette smoke.
According to a study published in CDC's Preventing Chronic Disease entitled Opportunities for Policy Interventions to Reduce Youth Hookah Smoking in the United States, one way to reduce youth hookah use is by educating young people about the harmful health effects associated with hookah smoking. The study suggests requiring warning labels on tobacco products and advertisements. Health organizations echo these suggestions. The WHO's Study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation (TobReg) urges consideration of the following public health initiatives to reduce hookah smoking and associated disease:

Students, staff say goodbye to Point Comfort Elementary
June 2, 2011 at 1:02 a.m.
POINT COMFORT - Laughter turned to tears on Thursday as students said goodbye to Point Comfort Elementary for the last time.
But one instructional aide wasn't having it.
"Come here," Jamie Grasse ordered one sobbing second-grader, "Come here, come here."
Immediately, Grasse wrapped her arms around the child and whispered into her ear. The scene repeated itself as, one after another, students walked up with watery eyes seeking a hug.
"I'm just telling them that they're ready to go," Grasse said. "Some of these kids you may not see again."
The elementary school was shuttered by the Calhoun County Independent School District because of finances. The district cut 5 percent of its budget in expectation of state budget cuts and had an $800,000 deficit to deal with, Superintendent Billy Wiggins said.
Only 89 students attended the school this year, which provided pre-kindegarten through fifth-grade services. With seven teachers, three instructional aides and one secretary, the school had a low teacher-to-student ratio.
That made it costlier to educate a child there than it does at the district's two bigger elementary schools in Port Lavaca, Wiggins said.
However, some say the small-school atmosphere was what made Point Comfort Elementary special.
"Small schools result in family atmospheres," said Annette Matula, the school's secretary.
School staff tried to give the students a happy send off by holding a "memory party" on Thursday. Staff members handed out games and pixie sticks, and let the students play bingo.
Later, the fifth-graders gathered in Mary Holloway's classroom one more time, some promising to keep in touch.
"We're going to text each other every single day," said fifth-grader April Wilson.
Lauryn Moreno, 11, attended the school for seven years. She said that all the students looked out for one another, and that she was half happy and half sad to be leaving.
A little while later, Lauryn walked up to Grasse with tears in her eyes.
Leann Stavinoha's 9-year-old son attended the school for three years, and she has been involved with the local PTA during that time. She called Thursday a "sad day."
"I felt like my son was taken care of by family and not just at school," Stavinoha said. "Having a small school, to me, has made a big difference to all these kids."
The school's closure has had a big effect on the workers as well. Of the 11 staff members, only Holloway has found a job.
"We don't know where the next paycheck is going to come from," said Grasse, who has worked at the school for 15 years after her son attended there.
Yet that hasn't broken the close bond between staff. Teachers said that when one hears of a job opening, they make sure everyone knows about it.
And the school's closure didn't change the staff's attitude toward the students.
In between comforting second-graders afraid of going to a bigger school next year, and fifth-graders feeling a nostalgia for the past, Grasse promised that workers at Point Comfort Elementary will continue to look after its students.
"Just because we're not going to be here doesn't mean we're not going to look for them in the paper," she said. "They're not rid of us yet."

A shocking incident has left residents stunned as a father and son went totally mad after eating fufu and palm-nut soup. A man identified as Emmanuel Azumbila, a 40-year-old farmer and his son, Enoch Azumbila have gone 'mad' after consuming a bowl of fufu and palm-nut soup. It was gathered that the duo prepared the food themselves at Camp 6 in the Bia West District of the Western region, Ghana.
According to eyewitness account, the two men started screaming and tearing their clothes after consuming the bowl of fufu. Some had suggested the cause of their madness must be as a result of ingredients the victims used in preparing the soup.
Residents who rushed to the scene according to the eyewitness were shocked and dumb founded because of the strange occurrence. The two are currently on admission at the hospital.

Chelsea's John Terry dropped by Fabio Capello as England captain after Vanessa Perroncel allegations
England manager Fabio Capello has stripped controversial Chelsea star John Terry of the England captaincy
The move follows a 12-minute long meeting between the two men in the wake of days of revelations over Terry's alleged affair with the ex-partner of former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge, underwear model Vanessa Perroncel.
Before the meeting, the Football Association had made clear that Capello alone will decide the 29-year-old Chelsea defender's fate.
Capello was understood to have wanted to have the captaincy issue settled before he travels to Warsaw for the qualifying draw for the 2012 European Championships this weekend.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed the player will remain as club captain but has suggested that he will be allowed time away from the team if he needs it.
Although Capello has not clarified whether he still intends to select Terry, it is understood he has already confirmed Rio Ferdinand will replace the Chelsea man, with Steven Gerrard acting as his deputy.
"When I chose John Terry as captain, I also selected a vice-captain and also named a third choice," said Capello.
"There is no reason to change this decision.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the FA, particularly Lord David Triesman and Ian Watmore for allowing me to make this decision in my own time and in the best interest of the team."
Capello has only been in the job for just over two years but it is a measure of his standing within the English game that both FA chairman Lord Triesman and chief executive Watmore were happy to let him make the judgement.
Equally, team sponsors Nationwide have been quick to offer their support.
"The captaincy of the England football team is a matter for Fabio Capello and the Football Association. It is not a matter for the team sponsor," said Nationwide spokesman Chris Hull.
"These are private matters and not a matter for Nationwide. Nationwide is the England team sponsor and not the sponsor of any one individual."
Terry kept his own comments brief.
However, he had little option other than to accept Capello's decision and gave a broad hint that he would continue to be involved with the national team.
"I fully respect Fabio Capello's decision," Terry said in a statement released to Press Association Sport.
"I will continue to give everything for England."

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
By KBB.com Editors
Amid GM's imposing SUV and pickup truck fleet is a vehicle massive not so much in size, but in importance. Honda, Toyota and Ford have tended to dominate the compact SUV market, and Chevrolet needs to make a big splash. With the Equinox, Chevrolet has a major player, a vehicle larger and more refined than the aging Ford Escape and offering a V6 engine, an important feature not found on the Honda CR-V. Available in front or all-wheel drive, with a wide and roomy interior and loaded with standard and optional features demanded by today's modern mobile family, the Equinox is one of Chevrolet's best offerings.
If you need power and room, the Equinox offers the most passenger and cargo space in its class, as well as the most powerful standard engine in the entire compact SUV category. The muscular good looks, comfy seats and long list of optional features are just icing on the cake.
If you're enthusiastic about the driving experience, the lack of a manual shifter and the numb electric power steering may not appeal to you. And the Equinox's well laid-out interior begs for more in the way of color and contrast.
Standard safety features include the StabiliTrak stability control system, four-wheel disc brakes and a tire-pressure monitoring system. A revised instrument panel includes a new instrument cluster with a 20-setting Driver Information Center, and the Equinox's rear seat receives a folding armrest with built-in cup holders.
Put a heavy foot on the pedal and the Equinox takes it as a command, not a suggestion. While pulling away from a stop or negotiating slower traffic on a...
... two-lane road, the 3.4-liter V6 always delivers plenty of power. The maxi mini-SUV also corners reasonably well, while remaining comfortable and quiet on the highway. The glaring weak spot from behind the steering wheel for aggressive drivers is the steering itself. The electric power steering system offers little feedback and an unnatural feel, while a 40-foot turning diameter can make the Equinox seem like a full-size SUV in just about any parking lot.
Sliding Rear Seat
Slide it forward for more room in the cargo area. Then slide it back for more rear-seat legroom than even the biggest SUVs.
Multi-Level Cargo Area
A movable rear shelf allows for two levels of cargo or, for tailgate parties, two levels of chips, dips and dogs.
The increased length differentiating the Equinox from the outside also helps set the not-so-compact SUV apart inside. Generous headroom and legroom complement a clever sliding rear seat to maximize passenger or cargo space. The empty space is the high point in an interior marked by ill-fitting plastic, ho-hum cloth upholstery and a general lack of sophistication.
In compact SUV terms, the Chevy Equinox is enormous. Its wheelbase is a full 10- inches longer than a Honda CR-V's and just a half-inch shorter than Chevy's own TrailBlazer mid-size SUV. Overall length falls an inch shy of the mid-size Ford Explorer. The Equinox is unmistakable as a Chevy with big, gold Chevrolet bowtie badges front and rear, plus angular styling that immediately evokes the automaker's Silverado and Avalanche pickups.
The Equinox LS has air conditioning, AM/FM/CD stereo, power door locks/windows/mirrors, remote keyless entry, height-adjustable driver's seat, fold-flat front passenger seat, sliding/split-folding rear seat and a multi-tier cargo storage system. Standard safety features include dual-stage front airbags, StabiliTrak, four-wheel disc brakes and a tire pressure monitor.
Popular Equinox options include leather seating, heated front seats, six-way power driver's seat, AM/FM/6CD/MP3 audio system, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, power moonroof, 17-inch wheels, OnStar, DVD navigation, remote start, electrochromic rearview mirror, head-curtain airbags, traction control and anti-lock brakes (ABS).
Yes, the 3.4-liter pushrod engine is an old design, but it works well. The nearly vibration-free Equinox runs smoothly without protest and is jackrabbit quick when it comes to crossing crowded intersections. Passing at high speed is another matter as the engine seems to lose some of its kick past the 70-mile per hour mark. One of the nicest features of this engine is it won't bankrupt you at the gas pump.
3.4-liter V6

Mumbai's colourful panther
One of the reasons this diarist loves Mumbai above all is because it is the home of poets like Namdeo Dhasal, the Dalit poet activist and writer
>> One of the reasons this diarist loves Mumbai above all is because it is the home of poets like Namdeo Dhasal, the Dalit poet activist and writer.
Born in 1949, in a village near Pune, into crushing poverty, Dhasal the son of a butcher's assistant grew up in one of Mumbai's notorious red light districts Golpitha, which he immortalised in his first volume of poetry by the same name in 1973.
By that time he had already founded the militant Dalit Panthers organisation based on the American Black Panther movement.
Dhasal was one of the group's most high profile spokesmen. Dhasal's poems were a departure from convention for their innovative use of the language from the mean streets on which he grew up.
His depiction of colourful characters and their ways shocked many but also won him enormous respect amongst literateurs, and he was the recipient of the Padma Shri. The award winning and internationally acclaimed photographer Sudharak Olwe, a friend of Dhasal's who shot these pictures, was fascinated by the poet's penchant for colorful shirts.
"He has a huge collection of them" Olwe told us. "And in each his personality changes a bit. In fact he's like a work of art."

>> Word has come in that Kailash Surendranath, the man who gave India that iconic image of Karen Lunel in a waterfall bathing with Liril and a host of other ad films that became part of our national consciousness, has been felicitated at the Education Expo TV — Dada Saheb Film Festival — 2012 for his music video, Phir mile sur mera tumhara, a remake of the original Mile sur mera tumhara.
The first and highly awarded Mile sur mera tumhara was broadcast on August 15, 1988, after the telecast of the Prime Minister's speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
But that was a long time ago and as his wife and partner Artee says: "Kailash, who's always been very involved in nation building, wanted to once again spread the message of peace post 26/11."
Also our children would listen to people praise the first Mile Sur Mera Tumhara who would go into raptures about it. But they would say, "Dad, the film is great, but barring a few, who are all these people? Our generation would be more motivated watching their own heroes spread this message."
So Kailash, a veteran of over 3,500 ad films and more awards than he can count, set to work once again. And the result is this award, and we are told a standing ovation by the audience present. No underestimating the power of the kid factor. Ask SRK.
A limerick in a tea-cup
>> Our favourite wag, wit, humourist and adman Sylvester da Cunha, sent in this limerick following newspaper reports that the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia had recently suggested that tea be declared as our national drink.
Whereas we have nothing against the brew, we quite understand the sentiments of a true blue Goan son of the soil. Hence the limerick:
How many of us also think
That tea is our premier drink?
The choices before us are many
But choicest of all must be feni.
-Sylvester Da Cunha
Coffee anyone?
>> We like exchanging a chin wag with zeitgest scriptwriter of soaps (Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki) and blockbuster films (Om Shanti Om and Luck by Chance) Mushtaque Sheikh for the can do, will do flavour of Bollywood he exudes. The recipient of a big fat birthday party thrown in his honour this week by his best friend and partner in crime Ekta Kapoor, Sheikh refused in true Bollywood style to disclose how old he turned. ('Let's just say I'm old enough to hide my age'). About his 'Big Cool Friend' the enigmatic Ektaa, Sheikh was more forthcoming. "We were in kindergarten together and then went our separate ways only hooking up when I began writing scripts for Balaji films. I know she's a Gemini and I'm a Taurean but we get along because I 'get' her." However, what interested us most was Sheik's style of working. Like this diarist, SRK's celebrated biographer writes best surrounded by people. "I wake up each morning and go to the coffee shop next to my house and sit and write there all day," he told us. "There's something about the fragrance of coffee and the chatter of people that inspires me. I even hold all my meetings there," he said. Sheikh fans have more to look forward to: later this year he'll be out with two new novels — a children's book and a thriller set in Bollywood. "It's a genre that was a natural progression for me," he says. And no, we are not disclosing the name of the café he writes in — for fear there'll be a stampede by aspiring film hopefuls.
Remembering Rajni bhai
>> Few couples have epitomised the spirit of Mumbai more than the late Rajni Patel and his ever graceful partner and wife Bakul. This diarist recalls the heady days when, as the all powerful president of the BRCC, the suave Cambridge educated barrister and Mrs Indira Gandhi's confidante and the TISS educated Bakul were the king and queen of Mumbai society, gathering around them a kind of Camelot: MF Hussain, Dilip Kumar, the young Sharad Pawar, Ifthikhar Kadri and the late Vipula and Nana and Munira Chudasama.
This was Mumbai café society at its best: men and women who stood for progressive liberal values and were at the peak of their careers. We were reminded of all of this as tomorrow will be Rajni Patel's 30th death anniversary, a day marked with respect and solemnity by all those who knew and admired him. "At 10 am, there will be a short memorial function at the Memorial Garden to garland the statue and later at 11 am homage will be paid to him at Nehru Centre," the graceful Bakul told us. Though bereft by his passing, Bakul has not slowed down the pace of her work. "Yesterday, I spoke at the felicitation function for the National Award winners at Raj Bhavan. And later this week, I will be attending the Board Meetings of finance companies that I have been involved with," she says. And of course, in between there will be art shows and fundraisers and high teas. "Like most working women, it is a challenge to balance professional work and the call of duty in public life, along with the personal," she says. Yes, but she manages to make it all look so easy!

Okay, I am stuck with updating Drupal core.
I read the installation file....but it will not update!
I get the following error:
drupal@drupal:~$ mv drupal-7.22/* drupal-7.22/.htaccess /var/www/
mv: cannot stat `drupal-7.22/*': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `drupal-7.22/.htaccess': No such file or directory
this was my instructions:
This will create a new directory drupal-x.y/ containing all Drupal files and
directories. Then, to move the contents of that directory into a directory
within your web server's document root or your public HTML directory,
continue with this command:
mv drupal-x.y/* drupal-x.y/.htaccess /path/to/your/installation
Where would my path be? I tried Downloads/drupal-7.22 but that did not work!
What version of drupal is installed currently? Not sure how you installed Drupal but if updating is confusing at the moment, perhaps a better idea would be to install 7.22 using Drupal's own installer rather than starting with an outdated version.
if you want to continue with an update:
the files in 7.22 should be extracted from the archive.
followed by copying the new files into the folder that contains the old files.
followed by running update.php
if you aren't comfortable with the command line, you can use an FTP program like filezilla
dos for updating core = https://drupal.org/node/1494290
your path in Ubuntu would be something similar to /var/www/yoursite folder unless you placed all the files in /var/www/ - you should inspect the file system and figure out exactly where your installation resides.

By Richard Oliver
NORMAN, Okla. — Gary Harper, assistant coach of the Norman High School boys basketball team and a lifelong Oklahoma fan, is cautiously optimistic about tonight's showdown between his Sooners and Texas Tech.
His day already started with a great result on the scoreboard.
Harper's unranked Tigers squad, which includes the son of Oklahoma women's coach Sherri Coale at guard, toppled the state's eighth-ranked team, Edmond Santa Fe, in a preseason scrimmage earlier today.
"We're a Cinderella team," Harper says, "so this was a statement."
As he stands at a Starbucks on Main Street this afternoon, not far from where the Sooners will be challenged by Texas Tech tonight, Harper is hoping for another statement, and he's not alone.
Traffic is already starting to pick up on the thoroughfare, heading east toward the sprawling university. Many of the cars sport Red Raiders flags flapping atop them. For Harper and other locals, it's an invasion of some concern.
For his part, the coach admits to nervousness about the latest return of Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, who honed his offensive chops as an Oklahoma assistant in 2000. Thinking analytically, as a coach would, Harper fears that Leach and his merry band at quarterback, running back and receiver may have some tricks on tap that will give the Sooners trouble.
"He's something else," Harper says of Leach. "You know he has something planned."
Indeed, it's called an upset. And Harper knows about those all too well today.

With One Year To Go, Sochi Is Behind On Construction For 2014 Winter Games
The estimated $50B being spent to prepare the Russian Black Sea resort to host the 2014 Winter Games, makes the $40B spent in readying Beijing to host the 2008 Summer Games look "positively restrained," according to Nicole Jeffery of the AUSTRALIAN. Of that "extravagant total," it is estimated that $265M has been spent on the ski jump venue alone, and it has yet to be finished, "primarily because of an inadequate geological survey, which has left the construction company charged with building the structure struggling to stop it sliding down the mountainside on which it perches above the Mzymta River." Jeffery added that "even travelling through the pre-dawn darkness after arriving on the 4am flight from Istanbul, the destination of most of those billions is obvious." Every one of the 40km between the sea-level Olympic Park and the hub of the mountain venues at Rosa Khutor Resort, "is a construction zone." Russia hopes to use the Winter Games to "reinvigorate the Sochi region and turn it into an all-weather international tourist playground, creating a series of new ski resorts to complement its coastal attractions." Jeffery opined, "There is still much to be done in the year before Sochi welcomes the world's snow and ice athletes, but no one seems to doubt that it will be done." When the rail link to the mountains is completed this year, it "is expected to take just 30 minutes to travel by fast train from the coastal cluster to the Esto-Sadok train station, nestled below the ski jump." That "problematic venue aside, the rest of the mountain venues are all but complete, at least as far as they can be without the co-operation of the weather in providing adequate snow cover" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 3/4).

WESTPORT, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Although the world has made substantial progress over the last two decade - lifting 600 million people out of poverty, increasing child survival rates and helping 56 million more children to go to school – more work needs to be done to truly ensure a sustainable future for the world's poorest children, Save the Children said today.
"With the 2015 deadline fast approaching, Save the Children is working globally to ensure that collectively, we learn the lessons of the current Millennium Development Goals and contribute to the evolution of an ambitious new global development framework."
An influential United Nations' panel, chaired by the presidents of Liberia and Indonesia and the UK Prime Minister and (which includes John Podesta, former chief of staff for Clinton,) meeting later this month has a unique opportunity to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030, by outlining a concrete new development framework to replace the UN's Millennium Development Goals, which expire in 2015.
Save the Children's report Ending Poverty in Our Generation outlines a new development system, which, it says, can end extreme poverty in the next 20 years. It also includes one of the first proposals for new targets to replace the Millennium Development Goals.
Save the Children's Chief Executive Officer Carolyn Miles said: "With the 2015 deadline fast approaching, Save the Children is working globally to ensure that collectively, we learn the lessons of the current Millennium Development Goals and contribute to the evolution of an ambitious new global development framework."
The Millennium Development Goals were eight international targets adopted by every United Nations member state in 2000 with commitments to tackling global challenges such as extreme poverty, child deaths and a lack of education. Progress has been mixed, with some developing countries on track to achieve all targets and others looking unlikely to meet any.
Miles continued: "Our flagship report discusses what we believe are core priorities and identifies 10 key recommendations for fostering a post-2015 framework that emphasizes human development, equity, and accountability with a focus on our future – the children."
The report says the end of extreme poverty is now in sight because of remarkable progress made in improving the lives of millions. For example, the number of under-five deaths worldwide declined from nearly 12 million in 1990 to under 7 million in 2011, and an additional 56 million children enrolled in primary school from 1999 to 2009.
The report warns of three major threats to the process:
- A failure to tackle inequality in the framework, which will mean progress will be too slow and some groups will be left behind.
- A desire to cram too much into the framework leading to a lowest common denominator outcome.
- A fragmented and already fractious political process at UN level
Notes to Editors
The High Level Panel, chaired by the President of Liberia H.E. Ms. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the President of Indonesia H.E. Mr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the UK Prime Minister H.E. Mr. David Cameron will meet in Monrovia, Liberia between 29th January and 1st February 2013. The US will be represented in the high level panel by John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff to President William J. Clinton. He served in the president's cabinet and as a principal on the National Security Council. He was also a co-chairman of the Obama-Biden Transition Project and is currently the Chair of the Centre for American Progress.
As the High Level Panel prepares their agenda for Monrovia, Save the Children is today the first international non-governmental organization to put forward a proposed framework for consideration by the panel and governments around the world.
Save the Children proposes 10 goals
- Goal 1: By 2030 we will eradicate extreme poverty and reduce relative poverty through inclusive growth and decent work
- Goal 2: By 2030 we will eradicate hunger, halve stunting, and ensure universal access to sustainable food, water and sanitation
- Goal 3: By 2030 we will end preventable child and maternal mortality and provide basic healthcare for all
- Goal 4: By 2030 we will ensure children everywhere receive quality education and have good learning outcomes
- Goal 5: By 2030 we will ensure all children live a life free from all forms of violence, are protected in conflict and thrive in a safe family environment
- Goal 6: By 2030 governance will be more open, accountable and inclusive
- Goal 7: By 2030 we will establish effective global partnerships for development
- Goal 8: By 2030 we will build disaster-resilient societies
- Goal 9: By 2030 we will ensure a sustainable, healthy and resilient environment for all
- Goal 10: By 2030 we will deliver sustainable energy to all
The post-2015 framework should build on the strengths of the MDGs, including specific and measurable goals, targets and indicators. The framework should set common global aspirations (recognizing the importance of global cooperation) and allow countries to set national targets to suit their level of development.
The goals must achieve a balance of human development, economic development and environmental sustainability – the UN SG's 3 pillars of sustainable development – to ensure progress in human wellbeing is sustainable for future generations. We cannot reduce malnutrition without clean water. We cannot end preventable child deaths without educating girls.
The framework must also address some important gaps in the MDG framework, particularly:
- Inequality. Eradicating poverty and preventable child deaths require a dedication to reaching the hardest to reach. Income inequality undermines long-term economic growth and inequalities between groups of people pose a barrier to further progress in human well-being
- Accountability. The MDGs lacked a robust accountability mechanism. We propose a global mechanism to ensure global cooperation for global development and a national mechanism to support citizens holding their governments to account.
- Outcomes. Some of the MDGs have been criticized for prioritizing access over outcomes. For example, while the current MDGs have rapidly improved school enrollment, in many schools those students are not actually learning.
- Systems strengthening. The framework should promote strong service delivery systems that deliver for those populations that need them most. The current MDGs prioritize particular diseases for example and have diverted resources away from bigger health problems in some countries – a new framework must invest in both.
