Baby Bump: The Business of Being Born
Former talk show host Ricki Lake executive produced Abby Epstein's documentary, The Business of Being Born. The film which has enjoyed all sorts of critical acclaim and press, just opened in New York City where Ricki Lake and Keri Russell were spotted hobnobbing outside the theater at its debut.
To learn more about the fascinating documentary, read more
The movie focuses on claims that doctors and hospitals are making huge profits from delivering babies. They believe women have been convinced that having a hospitalized medicated birth is the norm and that age old methods of home birthing and drug–free births are passé, even dangerous.
In the trailer, a panel of women in white coats were asked how often they get to see a completely natural birth. They answered, "Rarely. Almost never." It also states, "The United States has the second worst newborn death rate in the developed world," which I was shocked and even a bit scared to read. The movie highlights the positives to old–fashioned birthing methods and shows Ricki Lake having one of her own.
For those of you who are debating your delivery, this movie might help you make your decision.

Create the perfect bed.
You need your bedroom to be your refuge. Your soft place to land. A place so comfortable, relaxing, and refreshing that you can hardly wait to get there at the end of every day.
So what's the first step? We suggest beginning with a well-dressed bed. It's surprising how the right combination of bed linens, pillows, and throws can evoke a mood and set the tone of the room. A bed (all dressed-up) can define a bedroom's style.
As designers, we on the Ethan Allen Style Team often like to dress our beds the way we dress ourselves: in classic style and good quality with a few cool details to add a fresh point of view. A case in point: our Geoffrey/Thomas bed linens, which have a tailored look inspired by menswear. Italian cotton finishing techniques make them exquisitely soft. Concealed hand pulls and ties keep the comforter in place – not sliding around – inside the duvet cover. Zippers are hidden. These are some of the little touches that allow us to boast about our quality.
We think sleep quality is deeply affected by the materials you surround yourself with. That's why we like to dress beds predominantly in natural fibers of cottons, linens and silks.
For summer, nothing beats the easy elegance of a bed dressed in white linen. Fresh and light, linen just makes you feel good. We decorate ours with meticulous details, like pin-tucking and box-pleating.
We also love new cotton quilts for summer. Our Dominique quilts of Indian cotton, for instance, have pretty scalloped edges, which add just a touch of unexpected style. The wonderful thing about using a quilt is that you have options: leave it alone on the bed, plain, simple, and satisfying as a night out under the open sky; or dress it up with double-ruffle and patterned sheets and an assortment of throw pillows to give it a fully polished look.
In addition to timeless style, you'll find that our ready-made bedding has the dressmaker details and luxurious quality you expect from custom-made. One example: the die-cut embroidery on our Diamond Lace sheeting. Sheeting experts agree, it's a rare find in ready-made.
And we think it's important you know that we are happy to customize. We have nearly all the options imaginable. You might want to start with some of our ready-made and then add custom touches. Ask one of our design pros for guidance. Your personal Shangri-La awaits!top of page

CNN — It's not even Halloween yet, but have you started your holiday shopping?
You may want to get a head-start on your holiday wish list.
It appears the calendar might be a little more crunched this year.
This year, Thanksgiving falls on November 28th which means there are only 25 days between Black Friday and Christmas. To put it into perspective, last year there were 31 days.
Its' the shortest stretch it's been in a decade. Fewer shopping means the stores will be more crowded than ever.
Experts say shoppers hoping to avoid crowds should try to go during the week when others are at work but avoid the lunch hour, and after 5 p.m.
One of the least crowded times to go shopping is the week after Black Friday when others are shopped out.

Alcohol does not in its self pose a problem unless your NFH is an aggressive/belligerent alcoholic. Our NsFH appear to drink quit a lot (the male NFH probably could be considered to have a drinking problem). When they get drunk they are more likely to be loud and obnoxious but so far they have posed little threat when they are drunk - except a few occasions that have been weird and unsettling but relatively benign - they get braver and more confident when they drink and they are more likely to misbehave, their ability to be rational (which is limited at the best of times) becomes non existent so stupid drunken behaviour and bravado is to be expected. Since the police have been called on numerous occasions over the years they tend to be quieter and less likely to direct their belligerent behaviour at us. They are slowly learning that if they just want to have a drink and enjoy themselves they have no problems, if they start banging on their drum kit at midnight and yelling and barking obscenities over the fence they find themselves having to explain their actions to police, and given their life style they like to avoid police.
It is not impossible for people to have "alcohol problems" and function quite normally, they may drink too much for their own good but their drinking is not a problem for anybody else but themselves, but the heavy drinking "typical" alcoholic can cause no end of problems for themselves and those around them. Living next door to an abusive alcoholic individual that is causing pain and hurt to their own family can be very distressing, you can become torn between not becoming involved and wanting to help abused wives/husbands and children - if you go over and knock on the door to intervene during an act of domestic violence you are putting yourself at risk - call the police, they are trained to handle domestic violence and/or if you are concerned about children, report it to the child protection services in your state but remember direct intervention puts you in the firing line both in the moment and in the long term because you become the interfering neighbour who knows too much. Domestic violence is not to be tolerated and should not be ignored, if it is happening next door to you report it to the police.

It's funny to hear this question at the end of a naming assignment, but it happens all the time. Now that it's got a super cool name, how do we want people to talk about it?
The right descriptor is a powerful tool. It can change behavior, reset perceptions, and create new categories.
It can even get a man to carry a purse. Pardon us, a "hold all." Fred Perry's men's shoulder bags avoid the horror of the "man purse" label by introducing a descriptor that's functional as can be: it promises to hold all your stuff. And with that, men are given permission to enjoy all the benefits of carrying their belongings in a convenient way, without all the baggage of a "purse."
There are times when the "what's it called?" question is baked into the name strategy itself. Dyson's AirBlade, for example, let us know that this was a different concept in hand drying, but they made what could have been the name for the category into the brand name, signaling a strong sense of ownership.
Axe, on the other hand, was more generous when it introduced the mass market to the idea of "body spray." To reach a younger, edgier audience, Axe knew that a cologne or aftershave wasn't going to ring true (and deodorant never really got anyone excited.) And it was a product they wanted people to use—every day, everywhere. The concept of body spray—a seemingly simple descriptor—caught the nose of a new generation, and a new *ahem* fragrant category was born.
The descriptor is a tool we see in every category, from beauty (Borghese Curafort isn't a moisturizer; it's a Moisture Intensifier) to coffee (Starbucks Via isn't instant coffee; it's a Ready Brew) to laundry (Tide didn't introduce single-use detergent packs; they introduced Pods) to retail (Apple doesn't hire retail associates; it hires Geniuses). While in most cases the use of the descriptor isn't trademarked, it can become, through repeated use, an important brand asset, and something that audiences attribute to ones who used it first.
What determines the success or failure of a new descriptor? Two things: it has to signal a break from category norms, and the experience has to live up to it. So now that you know what it's named, what are you going to call it?

Ken Tucker reviews the new album from Daft Punk, Random Access Memories:
I freely admit that, until the new Random Access Memories, I wasn't much of a fan. I could appreciate the craft and imagination that went into creating the French duo's mixture of electronic genres — techno, house, disco — but the mechanical repetitions and heavily filtered vocals didn't turn me on in any other way. But now, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo have come up with an album that exposes the human side of their musical impulses. It's the equivalent of removing the helmet-masks the pair invariably wears in public performances. Random Access Memories is a collection filled with music that suggests mad romance, heartache and an embrace of the past that's never merely nostalgic or sentimental.

text: content December 4, 2009 Omega-3 fatty acids boost glucosamine's arthritis benefit In the September 2009 issue of the journal Advances in Therapy, German researchers report that the addition of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to the over-the-counter arthritis treatment glucosamine sulfate resulted in improved alleviation of symptoms compared to glucosamine alone. The trial is the first, to the authors' knowledge, to test the combination in patients with osteoarthritis. In their introduction to the article, Joerg Gruenwald and his coauthors explain that a chronic imbalance between the synthesis and degradation of cartilage matrix leads to the loss of joint tissue that occurs in osteoarthritis. Glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids appear to be successful in adjusting this imbalance in the direction of new cartilage synthesis. The researchers enrolled 177 men and women between the ages of 40 and 75 with moderate-to-severe hip or knee osteoarthritis. Participants were randomized to receive three capsules daily of 500 milligrams glucosamine sulfate with or without 200 milligrams of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for 26 weeks. Questionnaires concerning pain, stiffness and physical function limitations were administered before the treatment period, after 13 weeks, and at the trial's conclusion. One hundred sixty-five participants showed a response of at least a 20 percent reduction in pain scores, with no significant difference between treatment groups. When an at least 80 percent reduction in pain was evaluated among those who complied with the study protocol, 44 percent of those in the combination group compared to 32 percent of those who received only glucosamine were categorized as responders. Morning stiffness and pain in the hips and knees were reduced by 48.5-55.6 percent in those who received both glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids and by 41.7-55.3 percent in the glucosamine only group. Additionally, combination therapy was received by twice as many patients who reported a 90 to 100 percent reduction in pain compared to those who received glucosamine alone. The authors remark that while glucosamine sulfate improves cartilage metabolism, EPA and DHA further reduce degradation by suppressing inflammation, which lowers swelling and pain. These readily available and well tolerated treatments could help contribute to maintaining the independence and well-being of an increasingly aged population. Osteoarthritis The value of nutrients is well known when it comes to arthritis. Even conventional textbooks recommend that people with osteoarthritis consume a diet rich in natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and joint-supporting nutrients, and avoid eating pro-inflammatory foods that are high in sugar, saturated fats, and trans fatty acids. The benefit of omega-3 fatty acids is well known in the treatment of people who have osteoarthritis. Clinical studies over the past two decades have proved again and again the value of omega-3 fatty acids in treating inflammatory conditions ranging from atherosclerosis to osteoarthritis. In people who have osteoarthritis, increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and adequate intake of monounsaturated fatty acids such as those found in olive oil (and decreased consumption of omega-6 fatty acids) can improve symptoms and even sometimes allow a reduction in the use of NSAIDs (Miggiano GA et al 2005). These fatty acids have many positive effects, including influencing cellular metabolic functions, supporting cell membrane structure, and directly reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (Zak A et al 2005). The most potent of the omega-3 fatty acids containing oils are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are found in abundance in cold-water fish (Mori TA et al 2004). Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance. It is synthesized by chondrocytes for the purpose of producing joint cartilage. In osteoarthritis, glucosamine synthesis is defective, and supplementation with glucosamine has proven to be beneficial. The body uses the supplemental glucosamine to synthesize the proteoglycans and the water-binding glycosaminoglycans in the cartilage matrix. In addition to providing raw material, the presence of glucosamine seems to stimulate the chondrocytes to produce more proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Glucosamine also inhibits certain enzymes such as collagenase and phospholipase, which destroy cartilage. By blocking pathogenic mechanisms that lead to articular degeneration, glucosamine delays the progression of the disease and relieves symptoms, even for weeks after termination of the treatment. Among the natural therapies for osteoarthritis, glucosamine sulfate is probably the best known. Commercial sources of glucosamine are from the exoskeleton of certain shellfish and are available as glucosamine sulfate and N-acetylglucosamine. As with most natural remedies, the therapeutic effect of glucosamine is not immediate. It usually takes from 1 to 8 weeks to appear. Once achieved, it tends to persist for a notable time even after discontinuation of the treatment. The probable reason is that glucosamine is incorporated into rebuilding the cartilage itself.

Izod Men's Dual Comfort Pajamas 1 1
Nice I purchased this set for my husband. The bottoms are wonderful. The shirt however is much too small. He wears a size medium in everything however the shirt barely would fit over his head and the sleeves are about 3 inches too short. The bottoms were worth keeping them and I wish that I could get more bottoms without having to order the shirt. February 8, 2013

Gold Coast Classic Floater Longboard
Good, Solid and Smooth, Great Downhill Board!
I know that some of the older models had some issues but the board I have now is really smooth. It has some really cool custom bearings that the guys at GoldCoast told me have nylon ball cases and a white lithium grease, so my wheels roll forever. I'm stoked on this board. The Bamboo model is my next purchase for sure. These guys are definitely making better products now and I'm backing them for sure. Good skateboard, Good buy!

Undead Nightmare Trailer & Very Brief Impressions
If you haven't already seen or played it...
This is the best DLC I've ever played. It has an entirely alternate last third of the game (I hear 6 hours in length) with its own storyline and cutscenes, and is very atmospheric. I had old-school Resident Evil fear, hoping I didn't run out of bullets or get surrounded. I can't wait to see what happened to all the main characters, and to try the multiplayer.
We have the cheapest priced led flood lights outdoor and led downlights products. For quality LED flood lights outdoor look no further!Best LED Flood lights ...
I hated that damn laughing dog! -_-
I tried real hard to get into Red Dead Redemption. I loved the setting and the characters were somewhat interesting. But, I just could not get over the feeling that every quest still felt like the stale Grand Theft Auto formula: Go to red dot. Chase/kill the red dot.
I have to say though, I loved shooting crows with the revolver. It was as though I was playing a new-age updated Duck Hunt. And this time, if there was a dog, I could kill it.

January 15, 2013, 8:19 PM — Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging field, subject to some confusion and very much an early-adopter exercise at the moment.
Channel partners-resellers, systems integrators and consultancies-often carve niches in such immature fields, providing advice and deployment help to customers who lack sufficient in-house knowledge. That tendency is beginning to play out in SDN. Technology vendors have already started recruiting integrators and other channel allies. The companies that seek to populate the SDN channel say they are studying the technology so they can be in a position to assist customers.
IT managers, however, suggest SDN adopters may or may not need channel support. Cloud service providers and academic institutions-who are considered the first wave of SDN deployment-typically possess deep technical skills and prefer to accumulate their own expertise rather than hire outsiders.
Related: Ex-Facebook Exec Pushes Software-Defined Networks
General enterprise adopters, on the other hand, will likely seek the help of SDN advisors and implementers, according to industry executives. They believe the channel will become a key conduit for SDN in the enterprise. "Enterprises are technology deployers, not developers," says Eric Johnson, chairman and chief executive officer of ADARA Networks, which makes SDN software. "It is absolutely expected' a certainty that SDN should be adopted through the channel."
SDN Poised to Replace Legacy Network Infrastructure
ADARA, and a host of other vendors ranging from established networking players to startups, target a market poised to rapidly expand. IDC projects that the worldwide SDN market will surge from $360 million in 2013 to $3.7 billion by 2016. For its part, ADARA works with three dozen partners in its year-old channel program and has deals with an additional 90 partners in the works, Johnson says.
Such lofty expectations are based on SDN's potential to revitalize network architecture. SDN provides a software layer that lets administrators centrally program switches and other network devices.
In a traditional network setting, a request for a new service prompts a series of manual configuration tasks as administrators work with standalone pieces of networking gear. SDN, however, lets administrators program and automate an entire network fabric. This flexibility dovetails with initiatives such as cloud computing, with its dynamic provisioning of resources.

"Perfect" single-atom transistor created.
Researchers at an Australian University have created a working transistor out of a single atom of phosphorus, placed on a silicon crystal. The microscopic device even has tiny visible markers etched onto its surface so researchers can connect metal contacts and apply a voltage.
The result - published here - is a huge step towards future quantum computers able to process complex equations which are so far beyond the reach of even the fastest supercomputers. The research will also enable the continuation of ever smaller transistors in accordance with (or even exceeding) Moores Law, which would mean that all transistors reach single-atom level by 2020.

Testimony continued Friday in the murder trial of Ernesto Gonzalez who's accused of killing San Jose Hells Angel chapter president Jeffrey 'Jethro' Pettigrew.
Gonzalez faces several charges, including first degree murder and discharging a firearm in a structure during a fight at Trader Dick's inside John Ascuaga's Nugget on September 23, 2011.
Earlier this week, former Vagos member Gary "Jabbers" Rudnick testified Pastor "Tata" Palafox, the Vagos International President ordered a hit on Pettigrew, during a secret meeting, the night of the murder.
"We were questioning why the San Jose charter was there," Rudnick said. "San Jose wanted to know what was going on and at a certain point, Tata put a green light on Pettigrew."
Rudnick, a former vice president of the Vagos' chapter in Los Angeles, already pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy to commit murder. Sentencing is set for August 22nd. A medical examiner has said Pettigrew was shot at least five times during the incident and the that the left side of his nose was nearly severed.
Defense lawyers have said Gonzalez shot Pettigrew because he feared Pettigrew was kicking another Vagos to death during the melee.
Prosecutors say Pettigrew's death was planned because of the club's rivalry, but the defense says the fight happened spontaneously.

Afraid or unsure of who to call about illegal pesticide spraying? Polluters beware: one California county may have found a solution.
The Kern Environmental Enforcement Network (KEEN) is an innovative tool that employs texting and web technology to expands the enforcement capacity of government agencies with the help of alert community members. KEEN enables residents to provide anonymous eyewitness accounts of local problems quickly and accurately, 24 hours a day in both English and Spanish. And it works.
Living in a lush, forested area sounds pristine and serene, right? Yes, but you may have to grapple with pesticide drift from periodic aerial spraying of herbicides like 2,4-D and atrazine.
Residents of Lane County, Oregon are fed up. They recently organized a rally protesting this long-standing practice, and calling for buffer zones to protect their communities.
Imagine an invisible cloud of a cancer-causing weedkiller drifting slowly across your state. Well, one just blew 100 miles across California, from Merced County, nestled at the northern tip of the Central Valley, as far south as Kern County (one county stop before Los Angeles) according to farm press.
On a rainy day in Iowa last month, I found myself crowded into a small building perched on the Mustard Seed Community Farm near Ames. I was joined by PAN's new staff scientist, Emily Marquez, and we were honored to teach a group of local farmers how to use the PAN Drift Catcher.
The training took place at a field day hosted by Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), and despite the downpour, we had a productive and fascinating afternoon.
Today Pesticide Action Network (PAN) is releasing Pesticide Drift Monitoring in Minnesota, a report that documents multiple pesticides in the air near homes and farms throughout Central Minnesota. This report is the result of diligent, on-the-ground monitoring by a group of citizens who have directly experienced harm from pesticide exposure — and are refusing to let it continue.
Since joining PAN earlier this year, collaborating with this group of farmers and rural residents has been my absolute favorite work. Their persistence in shining a light on pesticide exposure in their communities has both given me hope and shown me the severity — and urgency — of the problem.

The International Year of Family Farming: Key Institutions
07 Jul 14
As you already know, family farming will be a central theme at this year's Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre in October. In this article we will take a closer look at some of the key institutions that Slow Food is working alongside to try and improve conditions for family farmers and protect biodiversity, as well as some key figures that help underscore the important role that family farming plays around the world.
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
IFAD is a specialized agency of the United Nations that works to eliminate food insecurity by addressing structural problems related to poverty. Three quarters of the people living in extreme poverty worldwide live in rural areas. Family farmers make up a large proportion of the 842 million people who suffer from starvation around the world. IFAD recognizes the importance of family farmers in food security and works to ensure they can meet the challenges of the 21st century.
According to IFAD, the idea behind International Year of Family Farming is to get people thinking about ways of developing agricultural systems sustainably, basing them on family farmers, indigenous peoples and rural communities. For example, it is thanks to the work of IFAD that the female farmers are Gran Chaco are able to live and work with dignity. In Gran Chaco female farmers belonging to different ethnic backgrounds work together to pick wild fruit and transform it into various traditional products from their native cultures. These wild fruits are one of Slow Food's Presidia. You can read the fascinating story behind them here.
The EU
Within the EU 12 million agricultural businesses cultivate 172 million hectares of land across 28 different nations. The make up of agriculture and agricultural practices in Europe is massively varied and differs according to climate, soil conditions, farm size and the different practices and traditions of each region.
The European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dacian Cioloș has underscored the importance of family farming within the varied landscape of EU agriculture.
"Family farming shapes our agriculture from an economic and social point of view. Over centuries European agriculture was formed by family farming and today is still the case. The concept of family farming is linked to its greater resilience ability to adapt to changes and developments."
Obviously not all of Europe's agricultural output is linked to family farming. However, Slow Food can bring you examples from all over Europe. Examples such as these Austrian cattle farmers, whose level of husbandry and care for the welfare of their animals is producing meat that is good, clean and fair.
The FAO
The FAO has carried out a study in 93 different countries that shows that family farming accounts for more than 80% of all the global structures dedicated to agriculture. In the words of the Director General of the FAO, Josè Graziano da Silva:
"The preservation and sustainable use of natural resources is rooted in the productive logic of family farms. It sets them apart from large-scale specialized farming, although large-scale farming also plays an important role in ensuring the global food supply. The highly diversified nature of family agricultural activities gives them a central role in promoting environmental sustainability, safeguarding biodiversity, and contributing to healthier, more balanced diets."
Slow Food's project 10,000 Gardens in Africa shares this vision. It is the best response to intensive agriculture based on monocultures grown for exportation, chemical fertilizers and GM crops. Across the continent of Africa, in our garden communities, men women and children go to school to learn about food and farming practices and learn the value of their traditional foods. 10,000 gardens are a drop in the ocean, but they are improving the lives of many people and we want to improve the lives of many more by aiding family farmers as much as possible.

First Sore Throat
I had to do some audio redubbing for Saw 3D, but the whole thing was just screaming. You have to watch video of your scene and time your screaming, like, "OK, one short scream and two long screams!" The traps in this installment are the biggest and goriest by far, so there's a lot of screaming.
First Foreign Trip
Cuba, when I was a kid. I remember leaving the resort, and an old woman kept looking at me. Then she came up and tried to touch my lips. It was weird till I realized she had never seen lip gloss, so I gave her mine. I've been back since as an adult, and no one has tried to touch my lips.
First Audition
It was for the role of Helen in Troy with Brad Pitt. I had just come in from Toronto. I had nothing, just $80 in my pocket. All these girls were auditioning in, I don't want to say togas, but, like, drapey dresses. I came in with ripped jeans and a T-shirt. I was the modern-day Helen of Troy!
First Racy Role
On the show Threshold, I played an alien stripper named Candy Cane. I infected Peter Dinklage and turned him into an alien. I had a death scene where he's supposed to be hit by a lamp, but I was underneath him in bed, and it kept hitting me instead. After my mom saw it, she was like, "Wow."
Saw 3D hits theaters October 29.

All three lanes on the M40 northbound at junction seven have re-opened following an earlier collision.
Police said only minor injuries were recorded at the scene and the cause of the smash is currently unknown.
New gallery of readers' snow pictures now online. If you want to contribute, tweet us via @TheOxfordMail or use the hashtag #oxsnow
County council leader Ian Hudspeth says he has cancelled a surgery due to be held today in his division of Woodstock, so he can help clear the snow.
Shopping centre Bicester Village has announced to its followers on twitter that it's open for business as usual today.
Delays are being reported on the M40 northbound near junction seven for Thame after a collision.
Two lanes were initially closed after the smash, reported at around 6.45am today. It is believed to have involved a car, two vans and a lorry.
Only one lane remains closed, and queues are reported about a mile and a half from the scene.
The remnants of snow on Oxford's roads have turned to ice overnight, leading to hazardous conditions.
Last night, police urged drivers to make journeys only if they are completely necessary.
Thames Valley Police acting superintendent Henry Parsons said: "In view of the snow and now the freezing temperatures, road conditions are not good.
"I would advise motorists to only use their cars if absolutely necessary and if you have to drive anywhere then I urge drivers to be "slow in the snow".
"We've had a very busy day today with numerous crashes, fortunately most of which have been predominantly either "damage only" or minor injury across the force area.
"These hazardous driving conditions may last for a few days."

Morning. We're starting a new snow blog for the weekend to keep you up to date.
At the moment the Met Office is forecasting snow for the city this morning. There is, however, snow forecast throughout tomorrow daytime.
Out west it is the same for this morning but snow to come in this evening as well. Tomorrow the forecasters are saying snow thoughout the afternoon and night.
North Oxfordshire is expected to see snow only mid-afternoon today, but tomorrow it is coming in in the afternoon and throughout the night.
South Oxfordshire will get snow early this morning and that may be it for the day, says the Met Office. However the snow is likely to return all day tomorrow.
The real warning though is for icy roads.
The Met Office warning says: "Although some further slight snowfalls are likely, with 1 to 2 cm of fresh snow in a few places, the focus switches to ice, with sub-zero temperatures persisting over existing snow cover for many areas and spreading back into parts of the southwest towards daybreak on Saturday.
"The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption to transport during this spell of wintry weather."

But since all our measurements and observations are nothing more than approximations to the truth, the same must be true of all calculations resting upon them, and the highest aim of all computations made concerning concrete phenomena must be to approximate, as nearly as practicable, to the truth. But this can be accomplished in no other way than by a suitable combination of more observations than the number absolutely requisite for the determination of the unknown quantities. This problem can only be properly understood when an approximate knowledge of the orbit has been already attained, which is afterwards to be corrected so as to satisfy all the observations in the most accurate manner possible.

A Wayne County grand jury has found enough evidence to take three people to trial in the death of a woman on the train tracks in Jesup.
Randall Miller, Jody Savin and Jay Sedrish were indicted on Thursday in the Feb. 20 train wreck and death of Sarah Jones. All three are charged with criminal trespass and involuntary manslaughter. Wayne County Sheriff's Office and the NTSB investigated the case. The sheriff's office submitted their findings to the prosecutors in the Brunswick Judicial Circuit. Sheriff John Carter told WTOC his detectives spent weeks talking to witnesses and others.
"We had to track down and talk to people from South Carolina to California. Many of them had already acquired attorneys," the sheriff said.
Miller and Savin are the owners of Unclaimed Freight Productions, Inc. which was filming "Midnight Rider." Sedrish was the Executive Producer for the film.
Sarah Jones, a 27-year-old camera operator, was killed when a train hit her and seven other production crew members while filming on the tracks in Jesup. Jones died instantly and seven other production crew members were seriously injured.
Involuntary manslaughter carries a potential sentence of ten years in prison under Georgia law. Criminal trespass is a misdemeanor and carries a potential sentence of twelve months.
There is no word yet on a trial date but we will update you as soon as one is set.

This book is one of the best books I have every read. It starts out with the lord of the Dog Star, Sirius, getting sentenced for murder. He is sent to earth in the body of a dog to find the lost Zoa, a celestial weapon.
