BADGER: Dorset is on the reserve list
James Tourgout / / News
LAND in Dorset has been earmarked as a reserve site for controversial badger culls set to go ahead later this year.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has told MPs that culls are set to go ahead in West Gloucestershire and West Somerset after final licence conditions were met He said that a further area in Dorset has been earmarked as a reserve area in case one of the pilots cannot proceed, he added in a written statement to Parliament.
The pilot culls were postponed amid fears they could not be carried out effectively in autumn last year.
But Mr Paterson said Natural England had written to the two companies set to carry out the pilots confirming that final conditions in their licences had been met ''meaning that culling can go ahead there later this year''.
The culls are aimed at tackling TB in cattle, which can be spread by badgers.
Mr Paterson said: ''I know there is great strength of feeling on badger culling, but I also know that we need to take action now before the situation deteriorates even further. We need to tackle all transmission routes of TB using all available tools.''
He said the pilots were ''part of the Government's science-led and carefully managed policy''. Mr Paterson said licences were issued to companies to carry out the pilot culls before they were postponed.
''Today, Natural England have formally written to the two companies confirming the final conditions in these licences have been met, meaning that culling can go ahead there later this year,'' he said.
''This demonstrates the commitment of all organisations involved to the successful delivery of the pilots in these two areas.
''At the same time, an area in Dorset will be prepared as a reserve. This is a sensible contingency in the event that, for any reason, one of the existing licensed areas is unable to proceed.''

International health assistance is provided in an ineffective way that does not enhance the capability for human functioning.1 Most funding is driven by emotional, high-visibility events, including large-scale natural disasters such as the Asian tsunami; diseases that capture the public's imagination such as the human immunodeficiency virus and AIDS; or diseases with the potential for rapid global transmission such as hemorrhagic fever, severe acute respiratory syndrome, or pandemic influenza. These funding streams skew priorities and divert resources from building stable local systems to meet everyday health needs.

I would want to get an RH-12 (6x6) or RH-10 (6x7) back - I don't really care for the 2x3 aspect ratio, I was just referring to the type of camera. As for the rangefinder, I read of people using 80mm Heliars and the like on their Graphics and using them as RF cameras, so the adjustment must be doable.

Americans for Prosperity recently bought ads from Pandora, Google and AOL, and purchased today's Twitter Promoted Trend.
Americans for Prosperity, a group linked to conservative businessmen the Koch brothers, has spent at least $1.3 million on digital ads to fight President Barack Obama in the last two weeks. The organization has bought ads from Google, on streaming music site Pandora, and is running today's Promoted Trend on Twitter.
Despite using today's Promoted #FailingAgenda trending topic to attack President Barack Obama, the tag is getting a lot of action in tweets that oppose Mitt Romney and Republicans. In fact, some Twitter users have referred to the #FailingAgenda ad as one purchased by the Romney campaign itself.
The group changed its paid trend term to #16TrillionFail this afternoon, referring to the latest federal debt tally, which has reached over $16 trillion.
The Republican National Committee is also pushing the "fail" agenda today. The party is running ads adjacent to Obama campaign ads on CharlotteObserver.com, in conjunction with this week's Democratic National Convention in the North Carolina city.
We're crisscrossing the nation b/c we know America's future is worth fighting for. RT if you agree! #16TrillionFail bit.ly/failingagenda— AFP (@AFPhq) September 5, 2012
I can't be the only one to notice irony of Romney spending money promoting #failingagenda hashtag and the whole thing backfiring horribly— Ned Hartley (@NedHartley) September 5, 2012
Americans for Prosperity has spent around $600,000 on Google ads since late August according to Federal Election Commission filings analyzed by ClickZ. Another $250,000 has gone to Pandora for in-stream audio ads, which can be aimed at people based on their location or the types of music they're listening to, or both. Early on in the 2012 election cycle failed GOP presidential hopeful Rick Perry used Pandora ads to aim a faith-oriented message at Iowans listening to country, holiday, Christian and 80s music, for example.
AOL, AdTegrity.com and Target Enterprises are also recipients of Americans for Prosperity cash over the last couple weeks. The online ad buys are a drop in the bucket compared to what AFP has spent on TV ads since late August - around $57 million according to ClickZ's analysis of its FEC filings.
The RNC bought yesterday's Promoted Trend to push its #AreYouBetterOff tag, while Romney's campaign was the first presidential campaign ever to use the ad unit last week to promote its #BelieveInAmerica hashtag.
It's unclear how much AFP or the others paid for the Promoted Trend, though ClickZ has reported in the past that the ad costs around $120,000 for the day. AFP did not respond to an interview request for this story.
Kate Kaye was Managing Editor at ClickZ News until October 2012. As a daily reporter and editor for the original news source, she covered beats including digital political campaigns and government regulation of the online ad industry. Kate is the author of Campaign '08: A Turning Point for Digital Media, the only book focused on the paid digital media efforts of the 2008 presidential campaigns. Kate created ClickZ's Politics & Advocacy section, and is the primary contributor to the one-of-a-kind section. She began reporting on the interactive ad industry in 1999 and has spoken at several events and in interviews for television, radio, print, and digital media outlets.

Critic Reviews for Road House 2
All Critics (4) | Fresh (0) | Rotten (4) | DVD (4)
For a few certain segments of the population (you know who you are), I can say that it delivers everything you could possibly want out of a movie called Road House 2.
A remake as much as it is a sequel, Road House 2 features many of the same one-liners and action beats as its predecessor - ie Shane's uncle, while lying in a hospital, remarks, "your dad got one thing wrong: pain does hurt!"
So yeah, it's a mindless, silly mess. But hell, it's also called Road House 2, so you probably knew that going in.
Audience Reviews for Road House 2
A pretty decent if predictable action film. It works ok as a sequel although I don't think there are any character connections? Just the same style of plot but brought up to date. Some pretty good choreographed fight scenes make this slightly above average.
Super Reviewer
Lots of beautiful, hot and sexy girls in this film than 1980's action classic.
Super Reviewer
Man, I would hope for better for Johnathon Schaech, but I guess he's trapped forever in b-movie hell with films like this. Don't get me wrong, it's sort of an okay watch for what it is, but it never has the charisma of the original film, nor does it make a lot of sense as far as the tenuous connections they draw with the first film.

For the record, I'm a sappy horse lover, & I desperately wanted to like, nay love, this film but I have to give it two stars.
Based on a children's novel by Michael Morpurgo, I never heard of "War Horse" until the Broadway production. Magnificent life-size horse puppets were so eerily realistic and moving that THEY actually moved me to tears. This was before I had an inkling that Spielberg had optioned the story and was making a film of it.
Spielberg has pulled out every stop here -- the movie is shot on real film and looks it, lush and expensive. The battle scenes are detailed and exciting. There is a skillful cast of respected British actors. But it's entirely without real heart and soul.
Without the exciting puppetry (that undoubtedly drew Spielberg to the material as it did me), the only way to save this would have been some kind of thoughtful retelling of the material. And once you get past the swelling music, the golden sunsets and manipulated emotional level, frankly this feels empty. "The Black Stallion" -- from 1979 -- is a much more fantastical story, without historical precedent or realism, and yet I never watch it without sobbing like a baby, because it touches something deep and human and universal. "War Horse" simply does not. It feels like a calculated bid for an Oscar nomination.
Being released along with "TinTin" at the same Christmas slot, my impression was that the first big mistake Spielberg made was to go realistic with the story. The play worked because it is NOT realistic. Frankly, I think he should have used animation for the horse story -- made it more symbolic and expressionistic -- and filmed TinTin straight up as an "Indiana Jones"- type adventure.
I was also struck, from almost the start of the film, that Spielberg honestly knows (and cares) NOTHING about horses and that lack of genuine interest plagues the film. The first part of the film, set in an English village, has the Narracott family -- apparently the dumbest and most incompetent tenant farmers in British history -- who irrationally decide to buy a thoroughbred for plowing. Strangely, they seem not to have owned ANY horse prior to this. How did they plow the farm BEFORE Joey? Mr. Narracott spends 30 quid on Joey (I believe this would be about $150 US, as it was valued in 1914) -- that amount of money would have easily bought Joey AND some old plowhorse.
And why is Mr. Narracott about 60-65 years old, with a 14 year old son? People married young back then -- Albert is more the age of his grandchild. How on earth did the father think he'd run a good-sized farm, when he's handicapped? and has no plow horse? (Note: nobody apparently had ever heard of mules back then -- much cheaper than a thoroughbred!) Since he spends his life savings on Joey, Mr. Narracott now has NO RENT MONEY....why did he do this? He doesn't even like or WANT the horse! He has no use for such a horse! He's put his entire family in danger of going hungry and/or being evicted for a horse he dislikes. Then he gambles what's left of his future that this slightly built yearling can plow up a huge, rocky field.
Of course the horse does so, with considerable anguish and suffering -- in one day, because nobody remotely considered doing it a bit at a time. The Narracotts are so mentally challenged as a FAMILY, none of them consider FIRST going through the field and REMOVING the giant ROCKS, but prefer to make it as hard as possible for the horse. When they amazingly DO NOT KILL the horse with this abusive behavior, it then rains, washing away the entire crop (of turnips, no less). While all this happens, the village folk -- who have no work or farms of their own to run -- stand around IN THE RAIN watching! Literally, they have no more sense than to stand in the rain in their good clothes. Naturally, NOT ONE OF THEM -- all presumably village tenant farmers -- has a spare horse or mule, or even the decency to pitch in and help a CRIPPLED MAN and his 14 year old boy. Nice town. Glad I don't live there. Note: by 1914, if they had CARS, they had TRACTORS.
After this segment, there was nothing about the war scenes or Joey's unlikely survival against all odds, that moved me or made me feel anything for the characters. Jeremy Irvine, as Albert (the boy) is especially weak, and he doesn't look 14 (he also looks identical at 18, whereas we all know that boys change VERY rapidly in physique in those 4 years).
At the end, when Joey and Albert return from war....well, they apparently take a wrong turn and end up in WYOMING. Because suddenly there are western-like expanses of land, and big golden sunsets and vistas that go on forever. Frankly, it's not Devonshire, England.
Among the many subplots -- where Joey is handed along by one unbelievably kind and decent person to another, literally the nicest warring folks in history -- one set in a French farmhouse, with the world's most annoying kid with the world's lamest fake French accent, is a real low point. Later, we hear the little girl has died -- old movie disease, since she looks healthy as, well, a horse -- we just feel relief we don't have to hear her fake French accent again (I was afraid she'd resurface somewhat older, as a romantic partner for Albert).
Sorry, I can't buy one frame of this film. A big disappointment. If you do get a chance to view some of the puppetry from the theatrical play, don't miss it -- THAT is magnificent. But the film, just third rate.

Movie Reviews
I'm genuinely sorry I can't recommend or like this one
For the record, I'm a sappy horse lover, & I desperately wanted to like, nay love, this film but I have to give it two stars.
Dreadful Dreck
Did I watch the same film that the other reviewers here watched? Because I found nothing but obvious Oscar bait. It was as if someone wrote a list of every possible tear-jerking story cliche and checked off as many as they could fit within time and budget constraints. Horses? Check! War? Check! Plucky youngsters? Check and check! Plucky youngsters fighting to save the farm! Plucky youngsters fighting to keep the horse! Plucky youngsters who were previously enemies now getting along! Plucky youngsters severely wounded but staying plucky! I could go on. Really, I could. But all that's necessary to say is that almost everything you expect to happen does.
The cast is full of fantastic actors whose talent is disappointingly wasted in this film. I can't blame them, considering the schmaltzy script they had to work with ("It's a miracle horse!" - somebody actually says that. Actually, I think every character says that?). Emily Watson's brow furrows expertly. David Thewlis sneers as required. Peter Mullan stares remorsefully with perfection. Benedict Cumberbatch's mustache should win its own Oscar, and if an Oscar could be won simply for tearful lip quivering, Jeremy Irvine would win it for sure. I only wish I could have taken any of it seriously. Actually, I found myself caring more about the father's pennant than the horse.
Never have I seen such a display of dull writing, ham-fisted scripting, utterly scattered direction and overkill cinematography. It's no surprise they've evaded professional critics in screenings. I don't know who they've targeted everywhere else, but the audience at mine was largely seniors and veterans who all applauded it wildly. The younger audience members I saw did not seem to be so impressed. Some in my row were actually laughing quietly at all the wrong places. To be fair, perhaps this movie is really intended for a very specific demographic of which I'm not yet a member. Or perhaps, more likely, it was deliberately manipulative.
A Stunning and Enthralling Epic
Steven Spielberg has assembled many fantastic movies, like Schindler's List, Jaws, E.T, Saving Private Ryan, etc. His new creation, War Horse is a stunning achievement. The film was professionally made, it looked amazing, sounded great. Legendary composer, John Williams crafted an amazing and beautiful score. It was one of the best, I've heard in years.
Jeremy Irvine delivers a very heartfelt and convincing performance, he's just great. The rest of the cast, Emily Watson, Peter Mullan, David Thewlis, Tom Hiddleston, etc were all great, as well. However the star of the film, The Horse was simply amazing, the facial expressions were all spot on. Its just great, how you see the movie, from a horse perspective. Steven Spielberg deserves a lot of praise for that, and I hoper he gets it.
The cinematography is as good as it gets, its simply astounding. The film's cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski deserves all the praise he gets, an Oscar surely awaits him. The movie deserves all the technical praise, it gets. The editing is well done, the art direction is spectacular, the look of the film is quite breathtaking, at times.
The film is uncompromisingly sentimental, and I wasn't annoyed by it. Because it worked so well, it made me care about the story, the characters, the horses. A good old fashion studio epic, I miss them and I'm happy Spielberg delivered one. There are a lot of powerful scenes in the movie, from which I cried. It was just so moving, it showed the true consequences of war. Some of the battle sequences were simply fantastic and astonishing.
I am happy to see, Steven Spielberg in his top form. He showed, that he's still one of the best in the business and I hope to see more of him in the future. It may not be his best film, but it certainly a wonderful film to watch. I'd recommend anyone to see the film, it will appeal to everyone.

Police are assessing whether Twitter users who posted a series of antisemitic messages after the FA Cup derby between Arsenal and Tottenham should face criminal charges.
A number of offensive tweets – most referring to the Holocaust – from fans of both clubs were highlighted following a bad-tempered match at the Emirates Stadium in north London on Saturday.
Next week, on the eve of Kristallnacht, the Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) of the EU will publish the results of its keenly-awaited survey, "Jewish people's experiences and perceptions of hate crime, discrimination and antisemitism".
It covers countries in which 90 per cent of European Jews live, namely Britain, France, Hungary, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Latvia.
The defection of English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson is unconvincing and does not remove the threat posed by the group's supporters, Anglo-Jewry's most senior security expert has warned.
Richard Benson, who left his role as chief executive of the Community Security Trust last month, said Mr Robinson was "a street thug" who was yet to prove himself a reformed character.
The Community Security Trust has said it does not back criminal prosecutions for Spurs fans who use the word "Yid" in terrace football chants.
The charity moved to clarify its position following a week of debate on the issue, capped by Prime Minister David Cameron telling the JC that fans should not be prosecuted for using the term unless motivated by hate.
A small number of antisemitic incidents were reported over Rosh Hashanah, according to community security officials.
Large-scale operations were in place to protect Jewish communities around the country, with the Community Security Trust working closely with police.
A large security operation will be in place to protect British Jews observing Rosh Hashanah and next month's other Yom Tov holidays.
The Community Security Trust said hundreds of volunteers would give "several thousand man-hours" of service across the High Holy Days.
Antisemitic abuse aimed at Israel advocates should receive the same level of public scrutiny as high-profile Twitter incidents, experts and victims have said.
The use of email and social media sites to propagate abuse has become so severe that pro-Israel campaigners have feared for their safety and been forced to call police.
The number of antisemitic incidents recorded in Britain fell by a third in the first six months of the year.
Figures released today by the Community Security Trust reveal 219 incidents were reported between January and the end of June.
That number represents a 30 per cent decrease on the same period in 2012. It is also the lowest half-yearly figure since 2003.
Community Security Trust chief executive Richard Benson has announced that he is to leave the charity after 12 years at the helm.
Under his leadership, CST, which provides security at Jewish events and communal buildings, and monitors antisemitic activity, has received praise and recognition for its work both in Britain and abroad.
Government plans to tackle extremism and radicalisation have been welcomed by the Community Security Trust.
Prime Minister David Cameron chaired the first meeting of a new anti-terror taskforce, called Terfor, on Monday, and told ministers more must be done to counter extreme views in schools, charities and communities.

envisioned to characterize the next generation wireless networks. In such
converged systems, the seamless and efficient handoff between different
access technologies (vertical handoff) is essential and remains a challeng-
ing problem. The heterogeneous co-existence of access technologies with
largely different characteristics results in handoff asymmetry that differs
from the traditional intra-network handoff (horizontal handoff) problem. In
the case where one network is preferred, the vertical handoff decision should
be carefully executed, based on the wireless channel state, network layer
characteristics, as well as application requirements. In this paper, we study
the performance of vertical handoff using the integration of 3G cellular and
wireless local area networks as an example. In particular, we investigate
the effect of an application-based signal strength threshold on an adaptive
preferred-network lifetime-based handoff strategy, in terms of the signalling
load, available bandwidth, and packet delay for an inter-network roaming
mobile. We present an analytical framework to evaluate the converged sys-
tem performance, which is validated by computer simulation. We show how
the proposed analytical model can be used to provide design guidelines for
the optimization of vertical handoff in the next generation integrated wire-
less networks.
Keywords: heterogeneous wireless networks, seamless integration, vertical
handoff, application signal strength threshold, 3G cellular, wireless LAN
1 Introduction
Wireless technologies are evolving toward broadband information access across
multiple networking platforms, in order to provide ubiquitous availability of mul-
timedia applications. Recent trends indicate that wide-area cellular networks
based on the 3G standards and wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) will co-
exist to offer multimedia services to end users. These two wireless access tech-
nologies have characteristics that perfectly complement each other. By strategi-
cally combining these technologies, a converged system can provide both univer-
sal coverage and broadband access. Therefore, the integration of heterogeneous
networks is expected to become a main focus in the development toward the next
generation wireless networks [1–3].

Figure 1: Mobile handoff in heterogeneous wireless system
Mobility management is a main challenge in the converged network. It ad-
dresses two main problems: location management and handoff management [4,5].
Location management tracks the Mobile Terminals (MT) for successful informa-
tion delivery. For this purpose, Mobile IP (MIP) enables seamless roaming and
is expected to be the main engine for location management in the next generation
networks. Handoffmanagementmaintainstheactiveconnectionsforroamingmo-
bile terminals as they change their point of attachment to the network. Handoff
management is the main concern of this paper.
In the converged network, both intra-technology handoff and inter-technology
handoff take place as illustrated in Figure 1. Intra-technology handoff is the tradi-
tional Horizontal Handoff (HHO) process in which the mobile terminal hands-off
between two Access Points (AP) or Base Stations (BS) using the same access
technology. On the other hand, inter-technology handoff, or Vertical Handoff
(VHO), occurs when the MT roams between different access technologies. The
main distinction between VHO and HHO is symmetry. While HHO is a sym-
metric process, VHO is an asymmetric process in which the MT moves between
two different networks with different characteristics. This introduces the concept
of a preferred network, which is usually the underlay WLAN that provides better
throughput performance at lower cost, even if both networks are available and in
good condition for the user.
There are two main scenarios in VHO: moving out of the preferred network
(MO) and moving into the preferred network (MI) [6]. In the converged model,
Page 4
it is highly desirable to associate the MT with the preferred network, as long as
the preferred network satisfies the user application. This can improve the resource
utilization of both access networks, as well as improving the user perceived QoS.
Furthermore, this handoff should be seamless with minimum user intervention,
while dynamically adapting to the wireless channel state, network layer charac-
teristics, and application requirements.
In this work, we present an adaptive lifetime-based VHO (ALIVE-HO) algo-
rithm which takes into consideration the wireless signal strength, handoff latency,
and application QoS and delay tolerance. It can satisfy the system handoff sig-
nalling load, as well as different application requirements by the tuning of an
application-based signal strength threshold (ASST). We further propose an ana-
lytical model to evaluate the performance of adaptive VHO. This analytical frame-
work is then applied to show how the VHO decision and the ASST choice can be
optimized based on multiple conflicting criteria including vertical handoff signal-
ing, user available bandwidth, and encountered packet delay. Hence, the optimal
ASST value is determined for different QoS requirements.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides an overview
for the handoff algorithms in wireless heterogeneous networks and the related
literature work. In Section 3, we present a vertical handoff algorithm that incor-
porates cross-layer adaptation to terminal mobility, channel state, and application
demand. In Section 4, we propose an analytical framework to study the effect
of cross-layer adaptation. Numerical and simulation results are provided in Sec-
tion 5, where we show how the ASST can be tuned to optimize VHO decision.
Concluding remarks are presented in Section 6.
2 Related Work
The traditional HHO problem has been studied extensively in the past. Several
approaches have been considered in cellular networks using the Received Sig-
nal Strength (RSS) as an indicator for service availability from a certain point of
attachment. Additionally, several handoff initiation strategies have been defined
based on the comparison between the current attachment point RSS and that of
the candidate attachment points as shown in [7]:
• RSS: handoff takes place if the candidate attachment point RSS is higher
than the current attachment point RSS (RSSnew> RSScur).
Page 5
• RSS plus threshold: handoff takes place if the candidate attachment point
RSS is higher than the current attachment point RSS and the current attach-
ment point RSS is less than a pre-defined threshold T (RSSnew> RSScur
and RSScur< T).
• RSS plus hysteresis: handoff takes place if the candidate attachment point
RSS is higher than the current attachment point RSS with a pre-defined
hysteresis margin H. (RSSnew> RSScur+ H).
• A dwell timer can be added to any of the above algorithms. In this case,
the timer is started when one of the above conditions is satisfied, and the
MT performs a handoff if the condition is satisfied for the entire dwell timer
In VHO, the RSSs are incomparable due to VHO's asymmetrical nature. How-
ever, they can be used to determine the availability as well as the condition of
different networks. If the MI decision is based only on the preferred network
availability, the MT should start the MI process as it discovers the WLAN. In ad-
dition, if more than one WLAN APs are available, the MT should associate itself
with the one having the strongest RSS as it does in HHO2. When the MT is asso-
ciated with the preferred network, it enjoys all the preferred network advantages
before moving out. Therefore, in the ideal MO scenario, the MT performs no
more than one handoff at the WLAN edge when the network is expected to be
unavailable. This ideal MO decision usually cannot be achieved. Thus, the main
design requirements of a VHO algorithm are
• minimizing the number of unnecessary handoffs to avoid overloading the
network with signaling traffic,
• maximizing the underlay network utilization,
• providing active application with the required degree of QoS,
• prioritizing handoff to the underlay network over MO to the overlay net-
• avoiding MI to a congested network, and
2If other criteria such as available bandwidth are considered, the MT may not move instanta-
neously to a WLAN, but may consider other factors such as QoS, user preference, cost, and power

You've probably noticed that we've done a little sprucing up around here. Nice, right?
The biggest change we've made is a new streaming option for enjoying KUNC: A new streaming player that is built right in to the website. You can now listen to KUNC and read the website, look at pictures, and surf around without interrupting your listening. We think that's pretty great. You'll find it right up there, near the top of the screen.
Just in case you miss the old options though, we still have them for now. Our beta player will someday be going away (it was a beta test after all), but you can still find Windows, iTunes and the mp3 stream below. If you have any questions or run into any trouble, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Happy Listening.

YMMV: Cheshire Crossing
- So Bad, It's Good: The overall quality of the comic is actually not so bad - however, its artwork definitely falls into this category. To say that copy-pasting is rampant in the comic is a gross understatment - every female character looks like the same woman with a wig and a different dress, and every male character looks like a ten-year-old boy. There's just something irrepressibly hilarious about the shoddiness of it all.

MONDAY, Feb. 18 (HealthDay News) -- An unprecedented, 10-year study of the human brain is expected to be unveiled by the Obama administration as early as next month, The New York Times reported Monday.
President Barack Obama cited the need for brain research in his State of the Union address last week, and the Times reported Monday that scientists, government agencies and private foundations expect to team up in an effort to reveal the mysterious inner workings of the brain's chemistry.
The project is known as the Brain Activity Map project, the news report said, and the ultimate goal is to create a detailed map of the brain, which is composed of billions of neurons, and to better understand mental illnesses and brain disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and autism.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health-sponsored research might even lead to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, the newspaper reported.
Experts welcomed the news.
"This initiative has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of neural circuits, providing the fundamental knowledge that is critical for developing treatments for a host of neurological and psychiatric disorders," said Dr. David Fitzpatrick, scientific director and chief executive officer of the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience.
Dr. Ashesh Mehta, head of the Laboratory of Multimodal Brain Mapping at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, N.Y., agreed.
He said the advent of new brain-mapping technologies has brought "an explosion of information in recent years, and the need to coordinate and synthesize this information from the single neuron to the whole brain is upon us now.
"This would not only pave the path toward treating neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, autism, depression and paralysis," Mehta added, "but it w

Cape Coral Mayor John Sullivan and Councilman John Carioscia
- Filed Under
A witch hunt, some called it. Others went as far as accusing two Cape Coral councilmen of outright lying and Sunshine Law violations. And still others, residents and council members, stated it was an unnecessary waste of time that made city leaders look ridiculous.
For two hours, council members bickered about whether Mayor John Sullivan had signed a specific official document, whether he denied signing said document in a court of law and whether it required further looking into. Councilman John Carioscia brought it up, sending an email last Thursday to all council members asking for a ...

Bespoke Watches Made By Dedegumo [Pics]
Opening its first shop outside of Japan, in New York, dedegumo's craftmakers create one-of-a-kind watches.
dedegumo, founded in Kyoto, Japan has opened its first store outside of the country in New York's Lower East Side, with an open workshop so customers can view the watches as they are made. Its watchmakers, trained in techniques passed down over the years, craft unique hand-made time pieces using hand-cut Italian lace leather and intricately detailed brass, silver, bronze and copper.
Each watch is presented in a wooden box, stamped with a small cloud (dedegumo's logo) and wrapped in furoshiki cloth. A card is placed inside with a personal message from the watchmaker.

Thread: Name Etiquette
March 19th, 2013 09:33 PM #11
My name is Larissa, and most people say it's pretty. But people often mistake it for Clarissa, Marissa, etc. i don't really get any outright insults or anything, which is good. Personally, if I don't like someone's name I wouldn't say it at all. I'd probably just say it's an interesting name or something, lol. I think it's definitely inappropriate to tell someone their parents are crazy for naming them what they did, or anything like that.
Btw, I think Stormie is a nice name.~*~**~*Larissa~*~**~*

I get many compliments on my name. It's quite unusual (I've never met another), and people always ask me how to say it and then tell me how pretty it is. I usually spell it too, lol.
I also get people saying stuff along the lines of "Wow! What a name!" in the sense that it's 24 letters total, and 10 syllables between first, middle, and last. Professors when calling roll typically pause at my name, get a horrified look on their face, say my name, and then ask "Did I pronounce that correctly?". They usually do, as my name is pretty phonetic. This also means they typically remember the girl with the odd name, which I like but others might not.
My only peeve is when people misspell my name AFTER I've spelled it out/written it down for them, occasionally multiple times. Or mispronounce it after I've said it multiple times. The most common ones are Tamara and Toe-veera.Proud furmom to:

I am currently very confused and dont know what to expect. I am currently 8wks 4dys pregnant. starting 2 weeks ago my hcg levels have been going 1st 32,468 2nd 34,489 3rd 33,444 4th 36,968 and 5th 34,102.. I had an u/s done 2 weeks ago and showed sac but nothing else and have another u/s coming up next friday. I dont know whats going on I have no cramping,no bleeding, no discharge no nothing. does this mean I am going to miscarry?
Hcg Levels
Comments (4)
sorry also forgot to mention they have ruled out ectopic and they also said my uterus is tilted backwords.
Ask your doctor to measure your yolk sac, this should tell him/her if there are any complications. Although some women miscarry without any symptoms you shouldn't panic...that's the worst thing you can do. Did you doctor say your HCG levels were low? If so I would get on some progestrone inserts ASAP.
I am currently taking progestrone. She never said my levels were low. but she did say that she thinks I am going to miscarry because the levels have dropped a few times. My gest sac measures exaclty what it should for my dates She said she thought she saw a yolk sac but wasnt sure. Shes kinda the cold shoulder type and doesnt tell you much. before I started taking the progestrone it was 9.5 I get it re-measured monday
Did your doctor give you your progestrone results? My cousin was taking inserts and that wasn't enough so she had to start injecting it every night. She had 2 miscarriages before and the doctors told her she was infertile but she demanded the injection and now has a healthy 2month old new born! Don't give up hope. Your HCG levels seem normal as mine were about the same. I am now 21 wks. I would def look into a different OB if your current one isn't being helpful and informative. My OB is great, I can email her directly 10oclock at night and she answers right away. You need comfort and answers! Wish you All the best

this recipe was prepared for buffet service at the culinary school I attend, and it received high remarks from guests and students alike.

Very Good! When I saw lettuce and ketchup in the list of ingredients I was skeptical but had to try it. I'm so glad I did. This was delicious!
This sounded so good, I was so excited to make this for one daughter who is vegan, and the other who is gluten-free, but it was a disappointment. It just tasted like a spicy ketchup sauce....UN...

The Lovereading4Kids comment
Age: Baby +. On a cold winter's night one animal after another invites himself into a house and by the time it's bedtime there's all manner of animals and scarecrow tucked up by the fire. Some delightful close-up and colourful illustrations show the detail on each and every animal that appears. A lovely bedtime read and a great way for toddlers to learn the names of lots of different animals.
The Big Snuggle-up by Brian Patten
It all started with a scarecrow coming into the house out of the snow, bringing with him the mouse that lived up his sleeve. But it wasn't only these two who were looking for a warm place to snuggle up!
'His poems are made with great skill and honesty.' - British Book News
'Bayley's pictures are characteristically painstaking and gentle, softly lit, finely worked and pretty.' - Sunday Times
'The beautiful and detailed pictures and the rhyming repetitive text will make this a pleasure to read aloud to a small child.' The Spectator
Other praise for Illustrator Nicola Bayley:
For Katje the Windmill Cat: 'This heart-warming story is rendered something really
treasurable by Bayley's wonderfully vivid and rich illustrations.' - Guardian
For The Necessary Cat: 'Nicola's illustrations are exquisite and the book is a necessary
