Seroquel Quetiapine overview
Seroquel (quetiapine) is a medication that belongs to a group of atypical antipsychotics, and it has been approved for treatment of such psychic disorders as schizophrenia, major depressive and bipolar disorders. The drug is one of the most popular antipsychotics in the US and Canada, along with European countries, where its sales have exceeded 5 billion dollars. Main benefits of the medication are its stable, reliable effect, simple mechanism of action and minor adverse effects. Though the medication is rather expensive, it sells in online pharmacies at an affordable price. However, customers should be careful if they want to buy original Seroquel Quetiapine, because there are a lot of generic versions of the medication.
Medical uses
The main indications for administration of Seroquel Quetiapine are schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's and major depressive disorder. In case of schizophrenia, the medication has proven its efficiency during clinical studies, as well as within a long history of its use in patients with certain diseases. Compared to other antipsychotics, particularly typical ones, Seroquel shows less adverse effects and is more effective in general.
Patients with bipolar disorder receive Seroquel Quetiapine to escape depressive and acute manic episodes. The drug is also used in combination therapy for the bipolar I disorder. Quetiapine shows its efficiency in fighting symptoms and certain dangerous episodes in patients with bipolar disorder.
For people with Alzheimer's, Seroquel is not recommended, because there are no certain proofs of its efficiency in this case. However, over 20% of the medication's sales are constituted by patients with this disease.
There is a plenty of other indications for the drug, including the off-label ones. Seroquel Quetiapine is often used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, alcoholism, depression, autism and anxiety disorder.
Adverse effects
Though the positive effect of Seroquel is pretty strong, it has its price. Adverse effects of the drug are less dangerous than of the other medications of its class, but still can cause inconvenience. The most common problem manifesting in patients using Seroquel Quetiapine is somnolence. There are also such adverse effects as upset stomach, constipation, abdominal pain, inflammation, and weight gain. Less common side effects of the drug include fatigue, dry mouth, blurred vision, increased appetite and others. Another important note about Seroquel is that there is a withdrawal syndrome that can develop due to an abrupt discontinuation of the treatment. If you consult your doctor before taking the medication, you reduce the risk of being exposed to any of those adverse effects. Rude violation of the instructions and precautions during the use of Seroquel may eventually result in even more serious adverse effects. Please, be careful using the drug, and necessarily consult your doctor before you decide to buy Seroquel Quetiapine online

He's hot. He's got an insane body. He claims to be a virgin of sorts. And he's a really, really nice dude. But after hearing about Bachelor Sean Lowe's weird habits, it's quite obvious that there's one thing he most definitely isn't -- exciting.
And I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, because the term "exciting" can sometimes be much more of a curse than a blessing -- and it can mean different things depending on the person you're using it to describe.
Ok, back to Sean's weird habits -- which are way freakier than you ever expected.
Sean told Life & Style:
Most people don't know that I'm weird and nerdy. I love to read, and I do nerdy things. I do math in my head for fun. I do crossword puzzles; I quiz my friends on historical facts. Most people don't peg me that way. I don't like clubs and bars. I'd rather see an indie film at a local theater.
Whaaa? He does math problems in his head. He does crossword puzzles. And he digs history trivia and indie films.
I can't decide if he's really The Bachelor, my grandfather, Jake Gyllenhaal, or a combination of all three. Seriously, what's the deal with this dude?
I mean, I'll give him the "I don't like clubs and bars" bit, because there comes a point in every adult's life when you inevitably start to favor a nice dinner and a glass of wine over a dingy bar and/or loud, raunchy nightclub.
But sadly, it sounds like Sean went from clubs and bars and skipped over the whole dinner and vino thing, and instead checked himself directly into a nursing home. And it's really kind of a shame, because I'm guessing he's still got a few good years left as far as having a booming social life goes.
Still, there have to be more than a few women out there who will find Sean's habits more than a little bit appealing and possibly even sexy. For his sake, let's hope one of the remaining women on his season is into that sort of thing.
Do you think Sean's geekiness is hot or a huge turnoff?
Image via ABC
Not everyone likes to go to bars and/or clubs, and that doesn't make them weird, freaky, frumpy, or old before their time. My man is 26 and has only been to a bar like 3-4 times, and says it just isn't his thing. We do however like to go out, have drinks and pu-pu's, and just hang out talk the evening away, just the two of us :) We do "quiz" each other on musical history, tv and movie trivia, it's kind of a game, and it's a good time, we don't do it to our friends though,although we don't have many friends, we are as someone once said a pretty "self contained" couple :) But hey, to each their own.
THere's nothing wrong w/ ditching the club and bar scene. However, he's put the girls in harms way by sugesting they do the "Roller Derby" thing, by subjecting them to climbing 4,000 foot mountains when they are terrified, by prancing them around Alberta, CA in the freezing winter in bikini's to do the polar plunge......maybe he should take into account something a GIRL would enjoy doing on these dates. I would ditch him and suggest he marry one of the guys, so they could be forever jocks. He's apparently CLUELESS when it comes to pleasing a woman.

Mississippi Lime Play Makes SandRidge a Strong Pick
Maxwell is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After an excellent second quarter earnings report, SandRidge Energy (NYSE: SD) is indicating the possibility of raising its production guidance in the third quarter, in part thanks to an unusually quiet hurricane season that could be a boon to SandRidge's recent acquisition of Dynamic Offshore Resources.
There is one thing not to like about SandRidge's second quarter profit, and that's the fact that it was driven by gains in derivative contracts as much as by production results. If that story sounds familiar, recall that before it made bad bets on the direction of the market, Chesapeake Energy Corp (NYSE: CHK) frequently counted derivatives gains as a large part of its revenues. Of course, a profit is better than a loss even if the source isn't sales, but Chesapeake's story and the relationship between CEOs Tom Ward and Aubrey McClendon is a cause for concern as SandRidge increases its debt load and leans on market plays rather than pure oil and gas plays for income.
Leading on the Mississippian Lime
SandRidge's excellent second quarter results are attributable to what CEO Tom Ward calls the firm's "foundation on shallow, conventional, low-risk, well assets." The example that Ward used to explain this foundation, the Central Basin Platform, may not be the best asset in my opinion, considering that this is one of the lowest producing assets for SandRidge with 53 boe per day per well during peak production. Although SandRidge does not face much risk of drilling dry holes in the Central Basin since the area is well explored, it also cannot anticipate much reward for the same reasons.
SandRidge's results on the Mississippian play are far more respectable. In the second quarter alone, SandRidge completed five wells on the play that produced over 1,000 boe per day during the first thirty days of flow. With 1.7 million net acres providing space for over 8,000 horizontals on this play, SandRidge has a deep inventory to exploit (about 15 years, according to a recent company estimate). This is especially encouraging considering that the majority of its acreage is in the area where it is seeing the most consistent results, between Comanche County, Kansas and Grant County, Oklahoma.
SandRidge is setting itself up to ensure that it can continue its exponential growth, focusing in part on infrastructure needs, particularly on the Mississippian where it is building out electrical and water disposal system infrastructure. It is reducing its drilling time to about 19 days to completion, in part by reducing the number of frac stages to between six and ten and spacing fracs more widely, driving down already low per well costs.
SandRidge Senior Vice President, Business Development, puts SandRidge's per well costs on the Mississippian at "around $3 million," with the horizontals beginning between 4,000 and 6,000 feet. Steve Antry, Charmain and CEO of independent SandRidge competitor Eagle Energy Co., recently estimated per well costs on the Mississippian at a comparable $3.5 million, noting that the wells here are "very low pressure and we use low tech equipment." Eagle presents a serious threat to SandRidge, as its growth is commensurately exponential and it claims the single biggest well on the play, the Longhurst No. 1, which came online at about 3,000 boe per day – paying out five times in just over five months.
Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) announced its entry onto the Mississippian earlier this year, disclosing an initial 230,000 net acre position with a first well 30 day IP rate of 590 boe per day. These results were strong enough that Devon plans to drill up to 50 wells on its new acreage by the close of 2012, and with its comfortable financial position Devon could easily begin buying up – and bidding up – acreage around SandRidge's positions, putting stress on SandRidge's low cost per acre track record.
EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) is also on the Mississippian and perhaps for the long term, as it continues to focus on oil rich assets. EOG recently held part of its Mississippian acreage out for sale through Meagher Energy Advisors, and a quick look at the production chart for the marketed wells shows why: EOG expects the oil production in these wells to drop to zero by 2015, though the gas production has a less precipitous decline. According to Meagher, the deal on these assets is expected to close soon, and it will be interesting to see which company snaps up these natural gas interests.
Apache (NYSE: APA) holds acreage roughly following the curve of SandRidge's acreage, interesting because most operators are concentrating positions either further east or south of where Apache and SandRidge are focusing their efforts. Since Tom Ward and Apache both claim long records of success in departing from the pack, I believe that SandRidge and Apache will see long term gains from this move.
To avoid a 2014 cash crunch as its past borrowings come due, SandRidge is offering a cumulative total of $750 million in senior unsecured notes, with $500 million to mature in 2023 and $250 million to mature in 2021. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned both series a B rating with a 4 recovery rating, meaning that Standard & Poor's expects that if SandRidge defaults on the notes creditors could expect between 30% and 50% recovery. In its rating Standard & Poor's noted that SandRidge is a "highly leveraged" financial risk, with about $3.9 billion of funded debt.
SandRidge is currently trading around $7 per share, giving it a price to book of 1.1 and a forward price to earnings of 31.9. For reference, Chesapeake is trading more cheaply, around $20 per share with a price to book of 0.7 and a forward price to earnings of 15.0. Devon is trading around $61 with a price to book of 1.0 and a forward price to earnings of 11.9, attractive for the value of its assets and its growth track. EOG is trading around $109, with a price to book of 2.1 and a forward price to earnings of 20.8, edging towards overvalued. Apache is trading around $89 with a price to book of 1.1 and a forward price to earnings of 8.0, extremely attractive for this well-diversified stock.
While I do not like SandRidge's debt load or its increasingly heavy reliance on derivatives for profit, I think that the firm is on the right track with its Mississippian play and have hopes that it will divert expenditures from less impressive results on plays like the Central Basin as the benefits of the Mississippian become clearer. Though its forward price to earnings is high, its overall value is hard to miss, making SandRidge one energy play to consider.

Getting Little Man to try new foods is something I've always struggled with. He's EXTREMELY picky and will fight tooth-and-nail not to try something new if it looks less than appealing.
While reading this month's Family Fun magazine, I got the idea to try a different incentive for Little Man to try new foods. A fellow Mom wrote in and told how she got her little one to eat new foods. Here was her suggestion:
On a piece of paper or index card, write the numbers 1-10 leaving a space in front of each number. Use this card to keep track of all new foods your little one tries and if they like the new food, mark the food with a star, sticker, or smiley face. When they reach 10 foods, they get something!
For Little Man, we've decided that a toy would be a good incentive. In the letter the Mom wrote, she used her son's favorite pizza place as incentive for him to try 10 new foods. Find a toy, food, or destination your child will want to work towards and use that as their prize for trying new foods!
So far, this method is working really well. The first food I asked him to eat, taco salad, was met with a little whining until I reminded Little Man of the reward card. He proceeded to eat his entire bowl and found he really loves taco salad. The second time I asked him to try a new food, he didn't even fight me! It was such a relief to simply whip out the prize card and have Little Man gladly try the new food. While he didn't enjoy the tomatoes on his pizza, Little Man gladly took a big bite to see if he liked it or not. In the past, I never would have been able to get him to try it!
What things to do you do to get your picky eater to try new foods?

Former Hershey Bears forward Graham Mink joined the Providence Bruins following the resolution of the NHL lockout, finally finding a new AHL team after Hershey decided not to bring him back after his three seasons (all separate) with the Chocolate and White.
Mink posted 42 points in 48 games for Hershey last season and has contributed 16 points in 28 games for the Providence Bruins this season.
He came back on Saturday night and faced his former team for the first of two times this season, as the Providence Bruins fell to Hershey 3-2. He reflected on his time with the Bears and what the future holds for himself and the Bruins.
Q: On coming back and playing at Giant Center.
Mink: "It's great, I always get so excited to play here visiting team or home team it's just a great atmosphere to be a part of. It was a really good game, very competitive and they just got the better of us in the third period."
Q: On changing his jersey to number 29.
Mink: "I came in [to Providence] half way through the season and didn't want to upset the apple cart. Bobby Robins has been around for a long team, does a great job. He had it so they gave me 29."
Q: On Providence's season as they head toward the playoffs.
Mink: "Things have been going good the last couple months; we're starting to really find our game. We've been winning a lot of games and every night it seems like we're in it. I think we can do well. Our strength is on the backend and we've got some big forwards that like to skate. I really think we can do some damage, but you never know. Every team's so competitive up and down, still got the NHL trade deadline coming. That can change a lot for teams, once we got through that hurdle and guys stay healthy I think we can do some damage in the playoffs."
Q: On facing former teammates this season.
Mink: "It's good to see a lot of guys. Anytime you're playing on a championship team it adds years to your career, it's some of the things that I'm trying to preach to these guys. You've got that special bond with those players every time you see them, you can smile and just say we did together at one point."
Q: On playing in the Bruins organization.
Mink: "It's been great; they've really been first class to me. They treat the team very well, I'm just very thankful for the opportunity to play hockey instead of selling insurance. I got the call on a Friday night and they asked me if I could play. I said sure, when? And they said how about tomorrow night at Springfield, so I packed up my bag got in the car with my dad and drove down and played a game. It's been hockey ever since."
Q: On mentality during the NHL lockout and not playing hockey.
Mink: "Just try to stay positive, I like to think of myself as a positive person. There were a lot of guys in my situation, I was just trying to just stay in shape and not give up on it. I knew once it go to October, November I knew it was going to wait till the end of the lockout, till I signed. When it ended I really ramped up my conditioning and tried to get my head around it. Luckily a spot opened up and an opportunity, here I am."

C is a double edged sword. On one hand, it's simple and powerful enough that, given enough effort, you can accomplish just about anything you want. However, this power is limited insomuch that you don't have many of the friendly helper-functions that exist in higher level languages, such as string manipulation for example, unless you go ahead and create them yourself.
Case in point - consider the below function used to trim trailing spaces. Submitted by Victor, this code apparently runs in a system that processes financial transactions in real time. For the sake of the system and its users, I hope that there isn't a lot of whitespace.
char *trim_right(char *str) { int len = strlen(str) - 1; if(len == 0 || str[len] != ' ') return str; str[strlen(str)-1] = '\0'; return trim_right(str); }
Someone just learned about recursion, and it became the tool of choice for the next several weeks.
When you have a hammer in your hand, everything becomes a nail.
unsigned int strlen(char* str)
if (str[0] == '\0')
return 0;
return 1 + strlen(str + 1);

I made this the other night just for fun and it turned out to be delicious. I used Oreos for the cookie in between layers and generic brand ice cream. My suggestions are to use 2 layers of saran wrap like they say (I only used 1 and it was kind of hard to get the ice cream out of the molds) and also, only mix in the banana if you really like banana flavor. It turned out to just be a lot of flavors mixed in there- vanilla, banana, chocolate, peanut butter...next time I'll leave the banana out.

... more mental than physical with JPP at this point," Tuck said. "I think he really wants to go out there and play and play well, and it ain't happening. And when it hasn't happened for him, I think he takes it hard. So the people around him have to keep him built up because he's a hell of a football player and obviously things aren't going his way right now. "I think he just needs to find a way – like all of us – to make a play and get in a groove. It's tough. You're 0-6 and everybody's talking bad about you and you start listening to that crap and you start believing it a little bit. For him, and all of us, we have to just find a way to get out of this lull. Right now I think he's like pushing a big rock up hill. I think JPP, he's got to get in a groove to start it downhill." #NYG

PerspectiveIn traditional Western histories, the Boxers were condemned as a product of uncivilized, irrational and anti-foreignist among the common people. In Eastern histories, controversy still exists about the significance of the movement. Even today, the Boxers are praised by the government of the PRC as patriotic and anti-imperialists.
The UprisingBoxer activity began in Shandong province in March 1898, in response to German occupation of the Jiao Zhou region, the British seizing of Weihai city, and the failure of the Imperial court's Self-Strengthening Movement. One of the first signs of unrest appeared in a small village in Shandong province, where there had been a long dispute over the property rights of a temple between locals and the Roman Catholic authorities. The Catholics claimed that the temple was originally a church abandoned for decades after the Kangxi Emperor banned Christianity in China. The local court ruled in favor of the church, and angered villagers who claimed the temple for rituals. After the local authorities turned over the temple to the Catholics, the villagers attacked the church, led by the Boxers.
The exemption from many Chinese laws of missionaries further alienated some Chinese. Marshall Broomhall pointed to the policy pursued by the Catholic Church. In 1899, by the help of the French Minister in Peking they obtained an edict from the Chinese Government granting official rank to each order in the Roman hierarchy. The Catholics, by means of this official status were enabled to more powerfully support their people and oppose Mandarins.[1]
The early months of the movement's growth coincided with the Hundred Days' Reform (June 11–September 21, 1898), during which the Guangxu Emperor of China sought to improve the central administration, before the process was reversed by several court reactionaries. After the Boxers were mauled by loyal Imperial troops in October 1898, they dropped their anti-government slogans and turned their attention to unharmful foreign missionaries (such as those of the China Inland Mission) and their converts, whom they saw as agents of foreign imperialist influence.
- Veteran missionary Griffith John noted afterward:
''It is the height of folly to look at the present movement as anti-missionary. It is anti-missionary as it is anti-everything that is foreign. ..The movement is at first and last an anti-foreign movement, and has for its aim the casting out of every foreigner and all his belongings.[2]
The Imperial Court, now under the firm control of several conservative reactionaries, forced the Empress to issue edicts in defense of the Boxers, drawing heated complaints from foreign diplomats in January, 1900. In June 1900 the Boxers, now joined by elements of the Imperial army, attacked foreign compounds in the cities of Tianjin and Peking. The legations of the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States, Russia and Japan were all located on the Legation Quarter close to the Forbidden City. The legations were hurriedly linked into a fortified compound, that became a refuge for foreign citizens in Peking. The Spanish and Belgian legations were a few streets away, and their staff were able to arrive safely at the compound. The German legation on the other side of the city was stormed before the staff could escape. When the Envoy for the German Empire, Klemens Freiherr von Ketteler, was murdered on June 20 by a Manchu banner man, the foreign powers demanded redress. Cixi declared war on June 21 against all Western powers, but regional governors refused to go along. Shanghai's Chinese elites supported the provincial governors of southeastern China in resisting the imperial declaration of war.[3]
The fortified legation compound remained under siege from Boxer forces from June 20 to August 14. Under the command of the British minister to China, Claude Maxwell MacDonald, the legation staff and security personnel defended the compound with one old muzzle-loaded cannon. It was nicknamed the "International Gun" because the barrel was British, the carriage was Italian, the shells were Russian, and the crew was American.
Foreign media described the fighting going on in Peking as well as alleged torture and murder of captured foreigners. Tens of thousands of Chinese Christians were massacred in north China. Many horrible stories that appeared in world newspapers were based on a deliberate fraud[4]. Nonetheless a wave of anti-Chinese sentiment arose in Europe, America, and Japan. [5]
The poorly armed Boxer rebels were unable to break into the compound, which was relieved by the international army of the Eight-Nation Alliance in July.
Eight-Nation Alliance
ReinforcementsForeign navies started building up their presence along the northern China coast from the end of April 1900. On May 31, before the sieges had started and upon the request of foreign embassies in Beijing, 435 Navy troops from eight countries were dispatched by train from Takou to the capital (75 French, 75 Russian, 75 British, 60 American, 50 German, 40 Italian, 30 Japanese, 30 Austrian). These troops joined the legations and were able to contribute to their defense.
First intervention (Seymour column)Edward Seymour, the largest contingent being British, was dispatched from Takou to Beijing on June 10. The troops were transported by train from Takou to Tianjin (Tien-Tsin) with the agreement of the Chinese government, but the railway between Tianjin and Beijing had been severed. Seymour however resolved to move forward and repair the railway, or progress on foot as necessary, keeping in mind that the distance between Tianjin and Beijing was only 120 kilometers.
Pei-Ho river, towards Tong-Tcheou, 25 kilometers from Beijing. They had to abandon on the 19th due to stiff resistance, and started to retreat southward along the river. The wounded were so numerous that they had to be carried in junks along the river, pulled along with ropes by healthy combatants on the banks. The column managed to take-over the Chinese camps of Hsi-Kou, in which they were surrounded until June 25 when finally a regiment composed essentially of Russian troops from Port-Arthur arrived. They completed their retreat back to Tianjin on June 26, with the loss of 350 men.[6]
Second intervention
With a difficult military situation in Tianjin, and a total breakdown of communications between Tianjin and Beijing, the allied nations took steps to reinforce their military presence dramatically. On June 17, they took the Taku Forts commanding the approaches to Tianjin, and from there brought more and more troops on shore.

The international force, with British Lieutenant-General Alfred Gaselee acting as the commanding officer, called the Eight-Nation Alliance, eventually numbered 54,000, with the main contingent being composed of Japanese soldiers: Japanese (20,840), Russian (13,150), British (12,020), French (3,520), American (3,420), German (900), Italian (80), Austro-Hungarian (75), and anti-Boxer Chinese troops.[7]. The international force finally captured Tianjin on July 14 under the command of the Japanese colonel Kuriya, after one day of fighting.
Taku Forts commanding the approaches to Tianjin, and the boarding and capture of four Chinese destroyers by Roger Keyes. The march from Tianjin to Beijing of about 120 km consisted of about 20,000 allied troops. On August 4 there were approximately 70,000 Imperial troops with anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 Boxers along the way. They only encountered minor resistance and the battle was engaged in Yangcun, about 30 km outside Tianjin, where the 14th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. and British troops led the assault. However, the weather was a major obstacle, extremely humid with temperatures sometimes reaching 110 °F (43Celsius).
August 14. The United States was able to play a secondary, but significant role in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion largely due to the presence of American ships and troops deployed in the Philippines since the U.S conquest of the Spanish American and Philippine-American War. In the United States military, the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion was known as the China Relief Expedition.
The end of rebellionAlfred Graf von Waldersee arrived too late to take part in the main fighting, but undertook several punitive expeditions against the Boxers. Troops from most nations engaged in plunder, looting and occasionally rape. German troops in particular were criticized for their enthusiasm in carrying out Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany's July 27 order.[citation needed]
Note this quote does not, as the rest of the speech does not, order troops to plunder, loot or rape but to fight bravely and fiercely. The , in which Wilhelm invoked the memory of the 5th century Huns, gave rise to the British derogatory name "Hun" for their German enemy during World War I and World War II.
''make the name German remembered in China for a thousand years so that no Chinaman will ever again dare to even squint at a German."
ReparationsSeptember 7, 1901, the Qing court was compelled to sign the "Boxer Protocol" also known as Peace Agreement between the Eight-Nation Alliance and China. The protocol ordered the execution of ten high-ranking officials linked to the outbreak, and other officials who were found guilty for the slaughter of Westerners in China.
China was fined war reparations of 450,000,000 tael of fine silver (around 67.5 million pounds/333 million US dollars) for the loss that it caused. The reparation would be paid within 39 years, and would be 982,238,150 taels with interests (4% per year) included. To help meet the payment, it was agreed to increase the existing tariff from an actual 3.18% to 5%, and to tax hitherto duty-free mechandise. The sum of reparation was estimated by the Chinese population (roughly 450 million in 1900), to let each Chinese pay one tael. Chinese custom income and salt tax were enlisted as guarantee of the reparation. Russia got 30% of the reparation, Germany 20%, France 15.75%, Britain 11.25%, Japan 7.7% and the US share was 7%[8].
China paid 668,661,220 taels of silver from 1901 to 1939. Some of the reparation was later earmarked by both Britain and the U.S. for the education of Chinese students at overseas institutions, subsequently forming the basis of Tsinghua University. The British signatory of the Protocol was Sir Ernest Satow.
The China Inland Mission lost more members than any other missionary agency: 58 adults and 21 children were killed. However, in 1901, when the allied nations were demanding compensation from the Chinese government, Hudson Taylor refused to accept payment for loss of property or life in order to demonstrate the meekness of Christ to the Chinese.[9]
AftermathRepublic of China. The foreign privileges which had angered Chinese people were largely cancelled in the 1930s and 1940s.
In October 1900, Russia was busy occupying much of the northeastern province of Manchuria, a move which threatened Anglo-American hopes of maintaining what remained of China's territorial integrity and an openness to commerce under the Open Door Policy. This behavior led ultimately to the Russo-Japanese War, where Russia was defeated at the hands of an increasingly confident Japan.
ResultsCatholic missionaries and 18,000 Chinese Catholics were murdered. 222 Chinese Eastern Orthodox Christians were also murdered, along with 182 Protestant missionaries and 500 Chinese Protestants known as the China Martyrs of 1900.
The effect on China was a weakening of the dynasty as well as a weakened national defense. The structure was temporarily sustained by the Europeans who were under the impression that the Boxer Rebellion was anti-Qing. Besides the compensation, Empress Dowager Cixi realized that in order to survive, China had to reform despite her previous view of European opposition. Among the Imperial powers, Japan gained prestige due to its military aid in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion and was first seen as a power. Its clash with Russia over the Liaodong and other provinces in eastern Manchuria, long considered by the Japanese as part of their sphere of influence, led to the Russo-Japanese War when two years of negotiations broke down in February 1904. Germany, as mentioned above, earned itself the nickname "Hun" and occupied Qingdao bay, consequently fortifying it to serve as Germany's primary naval base in East Asia. The Russian Lease of the Liaodong (1898) was confirmed. The American U.S. 9th Infantry Regiment earned the nickname "Manchus" for its actions during this campaign. Current members of the regiment (stationed in Camp Casey, South Korea) still do a commemorative 25 mile (40 km) foot march every quarter in remembrance of the brutal fighting. Soldiers who complete this march are authorized to wear a special belt buckle that features a Chinese imperial dragon on their uniforms. Likewise both the U.S. 14th Infantry Regiment, which calls itself "The Golden Dragons"; the 15th Infantry Regiment (United States); and the U.S. 6th Cavalry Regiment also have a Golden Dragon on their coat of Arms respectfully. Other US Units were involved in the rebellion were Battery F of the "U.S. 5th Artillery" and US Marine Corps detachments.
The impact on China was immense. Soon after the rebellion the Imperial examination system for government service was eliminated. As a result, the classical system of education was replaced with a Westernized system that led to a university degree. Eventually the spirit of revolution sparked a new nationalist revolution, led by a baptized Christian Sun Yat-sen, which overthrew the Manchu (Qing) Dynasty.
Controversy in modern ChinaCohen (1997) considers the ways in which the Boxer Rebellion has been mythologized within modern memories, pointing out not only the foundations for the myths but also those occasions when the myth had to be modified so as to fit in with changing intellectual, political, and cultural currents. He looks at mythologizing in the New Culture Movement from 1915 to 1925, which showed the Boxers as irrational and backward; in the anti-imperialist struggles of the 1920's, which depicted the Boxers as true patriots; and in the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, which insisted on a monolithic interpretation of the Boxers, not only stressing the Boxers' patriotic character but also drawing attention to the numbers of women associated with them.
Though the reaction of the Boxers against foreign imperialism in China is regarded by some as patriotic, the violence that they caused in committing acts of murder, robbery, vandalism and arson cannot be considered much different from the events of other rebellions in China, if not worse. Some people in China considered this movement as a rebellion (亂; disorder; Mandarin Pinyin: luàn), a negative term in Chinese language, when described by commentators during the years of the Qing dynasty and Republic of China. However, the Chinese Communists have shifted the perception of the rebellion by referring to it as an uprising (起義; being upright; qǐyì), a more positive term in the Chinese language. It is frequently referred to as a "patriotic movement" in the People's Republic of China by Communist politicians.
In January 2006, Freezing Point, a weekly supplement to the China Youth Daily newspaper, was closed partly due to its running of an essay by Yuan Weishi, a history professor at Zhongshan University, who claimed modern Chinese history textbooks were glossing over the atrocities committed by the Boxer rebels.[10][11][12]
In fiction
- The 1963 film 55 Days at Peking was a dramatization of the Boxer rebellion. Shot in Spain, it needed thousands of extras, and the company sent scouts throughout Spain to hire as many as they could find. [13]
- In 1975, Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers studio produced the film Boxer Rebellion(八国联军, Pa kuo lien chun) under director Chang Cheh with one of the highest budget to tell a sweeping story of disillusionment and revenge[14]. It depicted followers of the Boxer clan being duped into believing they were impervious to attacks by firearms. The film starred Alexander Fu Sheng, Chi Kuan Chun and Wang Lung-Wei.

Banner Elk NC Snow Tubing
10.6.11 09:49 AMSnow Tubing has exploded as a winter activity in recent years, and today, most of the Ski Resorts in North Carolina offer some kind of snow tubing or sledding. The High Country region of Banner Elk NC even has its very own Banner Elk NC Snow Tubing park—at Hawksnest Resort! Safe and fun for the whole family, snow tubing is quickly becoming an activity that everyone wants to do while enjoying their winter vacation, and it is often an activity that those sitting out on skiing and snowboarding seem to want to take part in. If you are looking for information on Banner Elk NC Snow Tubing and the spots in which you can enjoy this old, yet new, activity read on.
Banner Elk Snow Tubing is really no different than what most generations call sledding, only with snow tubing you go racing down a snow-covered hill while riding a safe and comfortable inner tube. Just like inner tubes on the water, snow tubing is easy, fun and the tubes themselves and the powdery snow will break any hard falls. All of the spots where you can go Banner Elk NC Snow Tubing are in designated areas, separate from the ski runs and slopes. Lanes separate the tubers from one another and maintain safety while multiple tubers go down the hill. Most of the Banner Elk Snow Tubing spots have an easy carpet lift that will bring tubers and their tubes back up the hill with little effort.
You can enjoy Banner Elk Snow Tubing at Ski Sugar and at Hawksnest Snow Tubing Park. Hawksnest Resort, which was once a golf and ski resort, has since redesigned their resort and, in addition to being the largest places to go Snow Tubing in the state, Hawksnest also offers zip lining in the warmer months. In fact, Hawksnest's snow tubing park is not just one small hill, it is actually four Banner Elk Snow Tubing areas combined into one large park!
Each place that you can go Banner Elk Snow Tubing offers tubing by the session; this means that you purchase a Banner Elk NC Snow Tubing ticket and can tube the entire two hour tubing session. Some places offer discounts if you buy group tickets or multiple tickets for sessions.

Force India finish out of points at British GP
Red Bull's Webber handled the tyre wear better than Fernando Alonso and got past his Ferrari on lap 48 to win the 52-lap race. Webber' teammate Sebastian Vettel secured the last podium spot.
It turned out to be a forgettable outing for Force India, who are based a stone's throw from the Silverstone Circuit.
Paul di Resta bowed out his home race after a collision with Lotus' Romain Grosjean on the opening lap. It seemed Force India would manage some points through Nico Hulkenberg with two laps remaining. The German, however, faltered in trying to save is ninth place from Williams' Bruno Senna and veered into the run-off area. The incidentgave enough time to McLaren's Jenson Button to move ahead of Hulkenberg and grab the last point. Hulkenberg eventually finished 12th.

How Right-to-Work Laws Affect Wages
AbstractI examine the wage effects of Right-To-Work (RTW). Using state-level data, I estimate that, ceteris paribus, RTW states have average wages that are significantly higher than non-RTW states. This result is robust is across a wide variety of specifications. An important distinctive of this study is that it controls for state economic conditions at the time states adopted RTW. States that adopted RTW were generally poorer than other states. Failure to control for these initial conditions may be the reason that previous studies have not identified a positive wage impact for RTW.

text: Obama's Ohio Early Voting 'Dominance' a Sham Print article Send a Tip by Wynton Hall 27 Oct 2012 post a comment Obama National Field Director Jeremy Bird released a memo on Thursday designed to calm nervous Democrats by advancing the Obama campaign's meme that it is dominating early voting in the battleground state of Ohio. But as former Republican National Committee strategist Adrian Gray points out, the Obama campaign's Ohio narrative is bogus. "When things are ugly for a campaign, these types of memos can start flying," writes Mr. Gray. "It is troubling for the president's supporters that they could not come up with at least a handful of positive data points in Ohio." As Mr. Gray notes, the Obama campaign's Ohio memo is heavy on anecdotes, light on verifiable data, and plucks mathematical minutiae from sub-group polls to paint a political portrait approximating momentum. In the memo, the Obama field director touts the fact that he has seen "groups as big as 100 voters going to vote in Athens, Ohio." The problem: just 604 Democrats in the entire country have voted in person, and no more than 40 in a single precinct. Mr. Bird also lauds the fact that "precincts that Obama won in 2008 are voting early at a higher rate." But as Mr. Gray points out, "this is unverifiable and misleading because there is no such thing as an 'Obama precinct.'" Furthermore, given that redistricting has occurred, "we have entirely new precincts, thereby making it impossible to validate their claim." Finally, the Obama campaign brags that a Time poll has Mr. Obama up 60-30 among early voters. There's just one problem, says Mr. Gray: "That sub-sample was asked of 145 people and was one of many of similar ilk (with a huge variation in results). Their central data argument is that 43 more people told Time's pollster over a two-day window they supported Obama. If that is their best claim to a lead in Ohio, it is a troubling picture for the president." The Obama campaign continues to do all it can to offer its supporters hope by feeding journalists skewed polls. But with statistical mavens like Michael Barone now predicting a Romney victory, look for the Obama campaign to continue to serve up heaping dollops of manufactured mathematical hope to its anxious base.
