GPs have slammed the health-styles of the rich and famous, warning that UK women are wasting money and potentially risking their health following celebrity health fads like cupping, colonic irrigation or extreme detoxes.
GPs have named and shamed the ten most useless alternative health trends used by celebrities and their fans and, in a damning diagnosis, declared many a waste of money and with no medical value. The research was done for Aviva.To try each treatment on the GPs' list could cost women more than £800.GPs have issued a stark warning that celebrities are having a dangerous level of influence over women's health choices and that celebrity endorsement of unproven health treatments could be putting the public at risk.
Nine in ten women believe celebrities pay for the very best and most effective treatments. A third will try a health fad simply because a celebrity has used it. Seven in ten would try alternative treatments rather than visit their doctor.
Dr Douglas Wright for Aviva says, "We understand that people like to deal with their own wellbeing in a number of ways, but too many women are wasting money following health fads that have little effect, Just because it is expensive, or rumoured to be a celebrity favourite, is not an automatic guarantee that a treatment will work. Some women are opting for treatment trends rather than seeking medical advice."

In August 2006, the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority granted authorisation to start first-in-man studies with AR-709. Results were published on 29 March 2007. These showed that AR-709 achieves high concentrations in the key compartments of the lungs where pathogens can reside and replicate. Moreover, the results of the studies showed that AR-709 exhibited a large volume of distribution and a long half life in man. Three possible routes of administration are under investigation: intravenous, oral and targeted delivery. The latter could have the added benefit of avoiding unnecessary systemic exposure.
Additional studies are ongoing in order to initiate Phase I studies in humans.
AR-2474 originates from Arpidas own drug discovery efforts. It is an antibiotic with a novel mechanism of action that has demonstrated, both in vitro and in vivo, to be highly effective in eradicating multi-drug resistant bacteria known to cause topical infections. AR-2474 is being developed as a topical therapy for different applications, including infections of the skin and eye as well as nasal carriage of MRSA.
In March, results from preclinical studies were published, showing AR-2474 to be at least as efficacious as the gold standard mupirocin (Batroban ) in two distinct preclinical models of MRSA infection of the skin and MRSA nasal carriage.
Additional preclinical studies are currently ongoing.
Early-stage research programmes
Arpida has a number of programmes at earlier research stages. Efforts are focussed on a number of selected targets. Crystallisation and co-crystallisation of these target proteins and inhibitory molecules could open up new avenues for rational drug design.
In February 2007 Arpida announced an important focusing of the research

I've been doing a lot of reaserching, reading, and checking out reviews but I'm pretty stuck on which bike to decide on.
I'm mainly commuting to and from work every day as well as going on 30+ mile road rides every other day. The reason I'm looking at a hyrbid is because my rigid fork, 700 x 25c, road bike doesn't quite handle the AZ roads and sidewalks very well as I've discovered since I've moved out here. The sidewalks also tend to drop into dirt patches occassionally as well. I also have a curiosity for trail riding so that's also why I've been looking into a hybrid... to get my feet wet and see if I like trail riding enough to get a second, trail specific, bike.
Both of the models I'm looking at are the 2011 models.
The Trek Kaitai I can pick up for $550. I like it because the geometry feels great when I took it on a test ride, I've always heard they hold a good resale value, and that you can go down to a 28c sized road tire or just put on a 29" knobby for the trails.
The GT Transeo 3.0 seems like a steal that I can pick it up for $400. I haven't test ridden it yet, but I like the fact that it has disc brakes and streamlined cables. Not to mention I'll be able to pocket $150 over the Trek. I just haven't been able to find any reviews on the GT and tire size compatability is a concern of mine.
Just looking to receive any input I can on the purchase decision between these two bikes. Both seem like a great deal but I don't know much about specifics. I can't go over $600 and I've looked around quite a bit so I'm pretty comfortable having my choices narrowed down to these two bikes. Any help and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Also, he said we were lucky because it's one of 6 (IIRC), and the easiest one to get to. The others require much more dismantling and a few more man hours.
Got the old core plug out too, amazing how much it had corroded on one side. Make sure you refresh your antifreeze/coolant regularly!!

Timing is of the essence
- From: Mercury
- August 29, 2014
THIS review of Predestination must be one of the more difficult I've ever written, not just because spoiler-avoidance is very tricky with this film, but also because, well, I outsmarted it.
Normally if I've reached the halfway mark of a movie and am convinced I've worked out the big twist, it means I've chased the red herring and am due to be surprised by the ending.
But with Predestination, I had picked up the scent by the end of the first act and by the halfway mark I was so convinced I'd figured it out that the big reveal — which happens in the final minute of the film — was as explosive as being told the sky is blue.
But even that doesn't make it a bad movie. Not quite, anyway.
Predestination is the new film by the Spierig Brothers, the Brisbane filmmaking twins who gave us the genre-twisting vampire film Daybreakers a few years ago, which went on to become a cult hit.
Based closely on the short story All You Zombies by Robert A Heinlein, Predestination is the story of a time-travelling "temporal agent" (Ethan Hawke) who uses a time-jumping device shaped like a violin case to try to prevent crimes before they have happened.
He has spent years trying to stop a terrorist known as the Fizzle Bomber from blowing up a large chunk of New York City and now, on his final mission, he has one more chance to stop the bombing before it happens.
On arriving back in 1970 and posing as a bartender, he encounters a young man (Sarah Snook), who was born female and tells the bartender about the series of events that have ruined his life.
So the sympathetic time agent brings the young man along on his next jump.
The acting performances here are superb, with Hawke and Snook driving the entire story between the two of them.
Hawke's grizzled and growling portrayal of the time agent has some delicious shades of Bladerunner about him, and his weariness and cynicism is palpable.
Snook, though, is truly brilliant. Even through the make-up, and just as strongly without it, she conveys such a sense of pain, conflict and rage that every second she is on screen is utterly captivating.
Filmed entirely at Docklands in Melbourne, the area makes a good stand-in for New York, with just a single establishing shot of the Manhattan skyline to confirm the setting.
And by not trying too hard to fake its location, the film avoids looking hokey, keeping an authentic feeling that would most likely leave even an American audience none the wiser that it was all shot in Australia.
Defining Predestination's genre is difficult: it has a sci-fi device at its core, in the form of time travel, but this device becomes merely a pretext for the rest of the story, which is driven not by the sci-fi element but by something more philosophical, more mystery/thriller.
It also pulls a very clever bait-and-switch move, in that this is quite a different movie from what you might expect from the trailers.
And this, again, isn't a bad thing, it is a clever piece of writing and promotion that works very well.
But ultimately it was the writing and direction that were the real let-downs for me.
There are clues scattered throughout the story that point towards the ending, which would be clever if they weren't plonked in so loudly.
The foreshadowing needs to be there early to justify the twists later on, but the well-written time travel elements are sadly let down by being signposted far too clearly far too early.
Maybe it was just me, maybe it's just that this time I was paying enough attention to pre-empt the plot, and most people won't have the same issue.
And even though I wasn't surprised by the ending, it still felt rather satisfying to watch all the pieces neatly slot into place throughout the film.
Ultimately, though, a good time travel movie always invites its audience to analyse and tease apart its timeline, but I'd like to think that, even if you figure it all out early, there will still be some pay-off in the end.
Predestination just left me feeling flat, but I can't penalise a film too much for my own actions, I guess.
Maybe that is just yet another paradox for the story.
Predestination is now showing at the State Cinema and Village Cinemas rated MA15.
RATING: êêêk (three and a half stars)

I like to look up reviews when I finish a movie to see what others thought. Sometimes Im blown away by negative reviews to what I thought was a great movie...in this case I was underwhelmed by this movie & surprised the reviews were mostly good. Yours was as close to feeling what I felt. I felt like it wanted so bad to be the next Inception....epic music, replaying scenes so we could understand the twists we didn't get to understand when they first rolled through....Oh wait....there's the problem....they were elephants in the room & to summarize the movie Id go with lacking subtly. Could have been a lot better but they messed it up.

Archive for the 'BMW Alpina' tag
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1981 BMW Alpina B7 Turbo
Enthusiasts will always find a way. One constant source of worry about newer old cars with more complex technology, plastics, and computers, is that the components will fail and thus turn the cars into effective paperweights. But ingenuity can make short work out of finding replacements or workarounds, as we see from the repair to the fuel injection system outlined in this ad for a 1981 BMW Alpina B7 Turbo sedan for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description:
not a coupe, is a rare find, and it can be used as a daily driver if you don't mind its thirst for petrol.
Many BMW enthusiasts argue that the Pierburg DL fuel /injection system as well as its crank sensor are nowadays beyond repair or insufficiently fixed at best. The BMW 528i sensor is completely different from the Alpina one, which is out of production way way back, and no such spare part is currently available from Pierburg or Alpina. This was exactly the case with this car. A possible solution seemed to be a whole conversion of the fuel/injection system with a newer one only to ruin its originality. This seemed like the only possible solution when I got negative responses from Pierburg and Alpina
There came my friend, a master mechanic, Kazu and he kindly offered help. He added a custom-made 6-branched spinning sensor within a distributor to pick up signals. Details? Please ask me. To my surprise, he put the car back on the road, roaring and pulling hard as it used to. Alpina B7 turbo for every day.

Class of '88 – the cars Americans can now import
Photos courtesy the respective manufacturers.
With the turning of the calendar every year comes a new crop of cars that Americans can import with much less hassle, thanks to the EPA's rolling 25-year emissions exemption and the U.S. Department of Transportation's rolling 20-year safety exemptions. David Traver Adolphus took a look at the once-forbidden fruit cars of 1988 that never made it to our shores when new and made his recommendations on which ones to track down and buy. Below are three of his picks; the rest of the list appears in the April issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car, on sale now.
Aston Martin Virage
Virage was the newest Aston Martin since the Sixties, although the 5.3-liter V-8 was an existing unit and the chassis evolved from the V8. The engine got new four-valve heads and 330hp, and a sculpted, imposing new body. The U.S. got a nearly identical car two years later, but only in tiny numbers, as in double digits annually. A factory 500hp, 6.3-liter package from 1992 ups the ante just a wee bit.
Fun Factor: Moderate. The U.S. version is nearly identical, but they're so scarce you may have to get one from Europe.
Cost: $40,000
Alpina B10 3.5/B12 5.0
The B10 was the first Alpina car based on the new third-generation E34 5-series. Alpina heavily modified the M60 engine to make 254 bhp; uprated the brakes and suspension and included their own 17-inch wheels; and upholstered Recaro seats with their own leather. Externally the car is quiet, with only the badges, wheels, a spoiler and exhaust tips to give the game away. A 155 MPH tested top speed exceeded the factory claims. The Alpina B12 5.0 based on the E32 V-12 735 was rated at 350hp, looks better, but was about a half-second slower to 60. They shared the same speed-limited top speed.
Fun Factor: High. Any Eighties BMW fans will know what this car is; for anyone else, it's a total Q-ship.
Cost: $15,000-$30,000
Rover 820 Fastback
Rover's O-series two-liter M16 engine was aging and not soon to be replaced, so Austin Rover looked for ways to refresh the car. The Fastback was originally going to be a Rover 600, but marketing decided it needed to be more upscale, and the Rover 2000 was reborn. A Honda-derived 2.7-liter V-6 version appeared shortly thereafter and was a much-needed improvement. In 1987, the 2.7 came to America as the Sterling 827SLi, so the original 820 Fastback is for purists only.
Fun Factor: Low. Later Vitesses, either naturally aspirated 2.7s or Turbos, are more fun and got better looking with time.
Cost: $1,500

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Cyprus may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity are legal in Cyprus, but households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples.
In Cyprus, the socially conservative Eastern Orthodox Church has a significant influence over public opinion when it comes to LGBT-rights. However, ever since Cyprus sought membership in the European Union it has had to update its human rights legislation, including its laws regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.
Law regarding same-sex sexual activity[edit]
Although administered by the British Empire from 1878, Cyprus remained officially part of the Ottoman Empire until 1914, when it was annexed by the British Empire following the decision of the Ottoman Turks to side with Germany in the First World War. Even then, Cyprus was not officially claimed by the British Empire until 1925, following recognition of British ownership of the island by the newly created Republic of Turkey through the Treaty of Lausanne, signed by Britain and Turkey in 1923.[1] Up until this time Ottoman laws were technically in force on the island, albeit administered by local and British colonial officials, and in respect to homosexuality Ottoman Turkish law had been liberalised in 1858, when it had ceased to be a criminal offence throughout the Ottoman Empire.[2]
Although Britain assumed full legal ownership of Cyprus in 1925, Ottoman law was not formally replaced on the island until 1929, when Ottoman legal tolerance of homosexuality was finally ended, with the incorporation of the British Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 into Cyprus Law. For the first time since 1858 this made male homosexuality a criminal act in Cyprus. Female homosexuality was not recognised or mentioned in the law.
With independence from Britain in 1960 Cyprus retained British colonial law on the island almost in its entirety, with the relevant parts of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 becoming Cyprus Law CAP 154 articles 171 to 174.[3] The articles were first challenged in 1993, when Alexandros Modinos, a Cypriot architect and gay rights activist won a legal court case against the Government of Cyprus, known as Modinos v. Cyprus, at the European Court of Human Rights. The Court ruled that Section 171 of the Criminal Code of Cyprus violated Modinos's right to a private life, protected under the European Convention on Human Rights, an international agreement ratified by Cyprus in 1962.
Despite the legal ruling, Cyprus did not formally revise its criminal code to comply with the ruling until 1998, when failing to do so meant losing membership in the European Union. Even then, the age of consent for homosexual conduct was set at eighteen, while that for heterosexual conduct was at sixteen. Aside from the unequal age of consent, the revised criminal code also made it a crime to "promote" homosexuality, which was used to restrict the LGBT-rights movement.
In 2000, the discriminatory ban on "promoting" homosexuality was lifted, and the age of consent was equalized in 2002. Today, the universal of consent is seventeen years of age.[4] Sexual conduct that occurs in public, or with a minor, is subject to a prison term of five years.
The Cyprus military still bars homosexuals from serving, believing that homosexuality is a mental illness. Gay sexual conduct is also, technically, still a crime under military law; the term is 6 months in a military jail although this is rarely, if ever, enforced.[5]
In Northern Cyprus, Turkish Cypriot deputies passed an amendment on Monday, January 27, 2014 repealing a colonial-era law that punished homosexual acts with up to five years in prison by a new Criminal Code. It was the last territory in Europe to decriminalise sexual relations between consenting, adult men. In response to the vote, Paulo Corte-Real from the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, a rights advocacy group said that "We welcome today's vote and can finally call Europe a continent completely free from laws criminalising homosexuality".[6]
Recognition of same-sex relationships[edit]
The current law of Cyprus only recognises marriage as a union between one man and one woman. There is no official recognition of either same-sex marriages or civil unions.
In 2010, the Permanent Secretary at the Cypriot Interior Ministry, Lazaros Savvides, indicated that the government would begin examining the issue of whether same-sex marriage should be made legal in the country.[7]
This was followed in 2013 by an announcement by the Interior Minister, Eleni Mavrou, that her officials were working on a parliamentary bill proposing the creation of civil partnerships, rather than extending the right to marry to same sex couples.[8] The government subsequently accepted the draft bill.[9] In March of that year, the newly elected president Nicos Anastasiades and his government reaffirmed their support for the bill.[10] In November the Interior Minister, Socratis Hasikos, confirmed that the bill remains on the Government's agenda, with a draft prepared and sent to other Ministries for review. The intention is to hold a parliamentary vote in April 2014.[11] As of June 2014, the bill had still not been submitted. According to the Ministry's Permanent Secretary, Constantinos Nicolaides, the bill should have been completed in April, but was is still being drafted.[12] In July 2014, Interior Minister Socratis Hasikos clarified that a proposed bill would need consensus from all parties before moving forward. He has given all parties a copy of the bill and has asked that they study it in time for a second meeting in September. Hasikos stressed that he will not hold a vote until he is sure all parties are in favor.[13]
In March 2014, the head of the Orthodox Church in Cyprus, Archbishop Chrysostomos signalled his opposition to plans to introduce either civil partnership or marriage rights, urging churches to take a stand against homosexuality and accusing secular governments of "weakening moral integrity" through acknowledging equal rights to homosexuals: "When, for example, governments legalise not only plain civil partnership but 'homosexual marriage', the Church must be unequivocal in condemning homosexuality."[14]
On 6 May 2015, the Cypriot Cabinet approved a gender-neutral civil partnership bill with many of the rights of marriage. The bill will now come to a full parliamentary vote.[15] On 6 June 2015, the ruling party DISY announced their support for the partnership law.[16][17]
Discrimination protections[edit]
Since 2004, Cyprus has implemented an anti-discrimination law (Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation Law 2004) that explicitly forbids discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in employment.[18] The law was designed to comply with the European Union's Employment Framework Directive of 2000. No prosecutions of gays have been brought since this new law was implemented.
In 2010 reports were made about an openly gay Cypriot diplomat who was denied a posting abroad because his "flaunting of his vices" was considered a liability. In the same case there were reports of mobbing and harassment.
In 2013, the penal code was amended to include sexual orientation and gender identity thus criminalising all discrimination against them. In the northern part of Cyprus, discrimination protection was brought in by a law change in the Criminal Code along with the vote for the legalisation of homosexual conduct on January 27, 2014.[19][20]
In May 2015, Parliament amended the penal code, making it a crime to engage in unacceptable behaviour and violence against people based on their sexual orientation.[21]
Living conditions[edit]
In 1996, a criminal trial against Father Pancratios Meraklis, who was accused of sodomy, caused serious rioting that stopped the proceedings. Meraklis had been regarded as a possible bishop, but was blocked by then Archbishop of Cyprus, Chrysostomos I of Cyprus, who believed Meraklis to be homosexual and that AIDS could be spread through casual conduct.[22] These comments irked public health officials and more open-minded Cyprus citizens.
In 2003 a twenty-eight-year-old Cypriot man was barred from getting a driver's license because he was regarded as "psychologically unstable." The man had been discharged from the military for homosexuality, which the military classifies as a mental illness.[23]
The "gay scene" continues to grow in Cyprus. Bars and clubs are found in 4 cities, including Different, and gay-friendly Kaliwas Lounge in Paphos; Alaloum, Escape, and Jackare in Limassol; Secrets Club in Larnaca and gay-friendly establishments such as Novecento, Ithaki and Svoura in Nicosia.
The pandemic came to Cyprus in 1986, and since then has had a few hundred of people living with HIV/AIDS.
The government regularly tests pregnant women, drug users, National Guard troops and blood donors.[24] In a 2001 report to the United Nations, the government broadly mentioned various efforts it had undertaken to fight the disease.[25] All non-EU foreigners seeking work and living permit on island need to made test on HIV, Hepatitis B & C, Syphilis and Tuberculosis and if result is positive the permit will not be granted.
In 2004 the Ministry of Health published a report on the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Cyprus.
LGBT rights movement in Cyprus[edit]
In 1987–88 the Cypriot Gay Liberation Movement (AKOK, or Apeleftherotiko Kinima Omofilofilon Kiprou) was created. As a LGBT rights organisation in the nation it has been successful in helping to repeal the civilian criminal prohibitions regarding homosexuality.
In 2007, Initiative Against Homophobia was established in Northern Cyprus to deal with the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer LGBT people in Cyprus north. On 25 April 2008, the initiative presented a proposal regarding the revising of criminal law to the head of Parliament Fatma Ekenoglu.[26] In 2010 representatives of ILGA-Europe presented the proposal to head of parliament Hasan Bozer. However, no action has been taken on the proposal and people continued to be arrested with claim of unnatural sex. During well known Sarris court case in October 2011, Communal Democracy Party (TDP) presented the same proposal to the parliament with demand of urgent discussion to end criminalisation of homosexuality in Cyprus north. Since March 2012, Initiative Against Homophobia continues its activities with name Queer Cyprus Association.
Accept - LGBT Cyprus is the only officially registered organisation in Cyprus dealing with an LGBT agenda since September 8, 2011. It has the support of several concerned citizens, assisted by various interested NGOs, the European Parliament and foreign Embassies operating in Cyprus. The organisation has also had at times assistance from local municipalities and often had events held under the auspices of local city mayors.
Accept - LGBT Cyprus organised the first ever Cyprus Pride Parade on the island on 31 May 2014. The Parade was an unexpectedly very successful with over 4500 marching or attending the day's events. Accept - LGBT Cyprus had expected several hundred participants, but were overwhelmed by the event's popularity. The march received extensive political support from almost all parties across the political spectrum, former President of Cyprus George Vasiliou, the European Parliament's Office in Cyprus, the European Commission's Representation in Cyprus, and 15 Embassies who marched with the parade including Ambassadors and Embassy staff (Austria, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, USA). Furthermore, for the first time ever, the Embassies of Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Sweden and the USA hoisted a rainbow flag on the day at the Embassies' grounds. Cypriot-born, international pop singer Anna Vissi also attended the march. The 81-year-old Alecos Modinos, who won a 1993 European Court of Human Rights case against Cyprus for its laws criminalising homosexuality, headed the procession. Scuffles broke out between a group of Orthodox Christian protesters including clerics who denounced the event they called "shameful", demonstrating outside the Parliament.
During a press release, Accept-LGBT Cyprus President Costa Gavrielides expressed his surprise and joy at the turnout, but also his annoyance with the Civil Partnership Bill not being submitted to Parliament despite news of a possible April vote. As of June 2014, the bill had not been submitted.[27]
Prior to the Parade, the event was preceded by the first Cyprus Pride Festival that took between the 17th of May 2014 (International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia) and 31 May 2014. The first day of the event a Rainbow Walk took place to the north of Nicosia with the colaboation of Accept - LGBT Cyprus and Turkish Cypriot organisation Queer Cyprus, amongst others.
In North Cyprus, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity was not embodied into law until January 27, 2014.[19] Therefore, in 2008, another civil society initiative, "Shortbus Movement", consisted of Human Rights activists, started to take an action to support LGBTI activities in Cyprus. The group secured financial support from the European Commission Office in Cyprus and the European Parliament. "Shortbus movement" ceised operations around 2012 with many members forming the Turkish Cypriot LGBTI group "Queer Cyprus" which operates till today.
Public opinion[edit]
Most Cyprus citizens are members of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus, which opposes LGBT-rights movements. In 2000, a Major Holy Synod had to be convened to investigate rumors that Bishop Athansassios of Limassol had engaged in a homosexual relationship while a novice monk. The charges were not proved.[28]
A 2006 survey showed that 75% of Cypriots disapprove of homosexuality, and many think that it can be 'cured'[29] A 2006 E.U. poll revealed that only 14% of Cypriots as being in favour for same-sex marriage with 10% for authorising adoption.[30] However, the situation has seen a rapid turnaround in just a few years, with a 2014 survey finding that 53.3% of Cypriot citizens think that civil unions should be made legal.[31]

If James Patterson thought it were possible, he would shake the hand of every U.S. soldier. For now, he'll let a big bundle of his novels do the talking.
The popular author is donating 200,000 copies of his work to the U.S. Armed Forces, continuing a tradition he started in 2006. Through such charitable organizations as Operation Gratitude and Books for Heroes, 20,000 cartons of books - 10 books per carton - are being shipped and distributed worldwide.
Mr. Patterson, among the world's most prolific and popular writers, told the Associated Press he doesn't think the soldiers get "the appreciation they deserve." His gift to the military will include his books "Tick Tock," "The Postcard Killers" and other favorites.
"The gratitude you get is unbelievable," Mr. Patterson said. "You get it from soldiers. You get it from families of soldiers. They'll tell you that their son or daughter is reading my work. That's really cool. That's very touching."
Amanda Knox's ex-boyfriend makes deal for memoir
Amanda Knox's former boyfriend will be the first to tell about the Italian murder case that made them famous worldwide.
Twenty-seven-year-old Raffaele Sollecito has a deal with Simon & Schuster's Gallery Books for a book scheduled to come out this fall, the Associated Press reports. Ms. Knox's memoir is due next year.
The publisher announced Thursday that "Presumed Guilty: My Journey to Hell and Back with Amanda Knox" would cover his relationship with the American exchange student, their arrests and imprisonment in Italy over the death of Ms. Knox's roommate, and their eventual release last fall after the convictions were overturned.
"Sollecito was an unwilling participant in a case that riveted the world. The Italian media convicted the young couple before any evidence had even been heard," a release from Gallery said. "Over and over, Sollecito came under pressure to change his testimony and get himself off the hook, but he refused to betray Amanda and he refused to lie.
"In 'Presumed Guilty,' Sollecito will finally tell his side of the story - from his first meeting with Amanda Knox, to his arrest, prison time, subsequent release, and current relationship with the woman he stood by through the worst ordeal of both their lives."
Financial terms weren't disclosed. Last month, Ms. Knox agreed to terms with HarperCollins on a deal worth $4 million. While numerous publishers bid on the Knox book, the deal for Mr. Sollecito's memoir was reached after Gallery made a "pre-emptive" offer to literary agent Sharlene Martin.
Gallery spokeswoman Jennifer Robinson said Mr. Sollecito would collaborate on the book with Andrew Gumbel, an award-winning British journalist and author whose books include "Steal This Vote" and the upcoming "Oklahoma City," about the 1995 bombing.
Ms. Knox and Mr. Sollecito originally were found guilty for the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old British student who shared an apartment with Ms. Knox in the university town of Perugia. They were sentenced to 26 years and 25 years in prison, respectively. An appeals court ruled in October 2011 that the evidence didn't hold up. Ms. Knox returned home to Seattle; Mr. Sollecito lives in Italy.

Redsn0w v0.9.12b1 is Available Now for Jailbreaking iOS 5.1.1
Popular the Dev team has just released their latest version of Redsn0w. This version (0.9.12b1) is capable of jailbreaking most of the iOS 5.1.1 devices on untethered mode. Even though another jailbreaking tool Absinthe is already out there for iOS 5.1.1 but the Redsn0w stands out because of it's capability to let it's user to create custom IPSW file for every single iOS devices. This method is very important, specially for those who wants to jailbreak their device without updating their baseband.
Now, preserving basedband is even more important for iPhone users because if anyone who is relying on Ultrasn0w based carrier unlock device, they must preserve their baseband before updating their device with newer iOS. For this instance it's 5.1.1. However hardware based carrier unlockers (Gevey SIM users) don't need to preserve their baseband.
The latest version of the Redsn0w includes few minor bug fixes. It also uses the same exploit that Absinthe used to jailbreak iOS 5.1.1 devices. So, if you already jailbroken your device using Absinthe, you really don't need to use Redsno0w unless you are relying on carrier unlock. This version of Redsn0w also supports the same iOS devices as Absinthe did.
Supported Devices: iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPod touch 3G, 4G and AppleTV 2.
Here is a little screenshot of the Latest Redsno0w 0.9.12b1.
You can use the "Extra" button to create your custom IPSW file for your device. However, you need to download the original iOS 5.1.1 ipsw file before you do that. You can find the iOS 5.1.1 download links from here.

Christopher Gorham says some people should avoid social networks. [Video]
Boston-- USA Network's "Covert Affairs" star Christopher Gorham says his fans and followers are typically not interested in hearing him complain. So he tries to keep his communications upbeat or humorous.
"Everyone has their own problems. And no one is interested in my problems," he said in an interview after speaking at Hill Holliday's TVNext summit.
Gorham said some people should not participate in social networks. In particular, he singled out people who half-heartedly participate and those who don't know what topics should be off-limits. "It's really not for everybody. But if it's something you can embrace and enjoy and are good at, it can be very valuable," he said during a question-and-answer session with Hill Holliday's Co-Media Director Adam Cahill.
Anna Maria Virzi, ClickZ's executive editor from 2007 until 2012, covered Internet business and technology since 1996. She was on the launch team for Ziff Davis Media's Baseline and also worked at Forbes.com, Web Week, Internet World, and the Connecticut Post.

Apple to open iPhone platform at WWDC?
updated 09:15 am EDT, Mon June 4, 2007
Apple to open up iPhone?
The iPhone fever built by Apple and its much adored chief exec has caused some anxiety in Apple execs ahead of the much-anticipated launch on June 29th. The massive interest and the immense attention may lead some to be disappointed with the first generation of Apple's iPhone, according to the The New York Times. "The anticipation, which is intense even by Jobsian standards, has led to some quiet, behind-the-scenes anxiety at Apple. Some Apple executives worry privately that expectations for the one-button phones may be too high and that first-generation buyers will end up disappointed." The report, however, indicates that Apple's planned in-the-field software upgrades for the iPhone may give it an edge in a rapidly changing mobile technology environment and that the company will announce a program at its annual developer conference next week to open the iPhone platform to third-party applications.
The report notes that there are skeptics of the consumer device, as the high price will limit the phones' appeal to true believers, the bandwidth or connectivity is slower than many other phones, and lack of a true-keyboard may limit text-intensive business applications.
"It's very media-centric," the Times quotes a director at a handset competitor. Declining to be identified so as to not elicit comparisons with the iPhone, the director continued: "It will hit one sweet spot, but not necessarily all of the sweet spots -- we hope."
Last week at the D5 conference, Jobs touted the software behind the device and said that Apple was looking for ways to open up the iPhone platform to third-party applications, which could spawn an entire new generation of mobile computing. Jobs believed that Apple's Mac OS X, tuned for mobile applications, will allow it stay ahead of its competitors, giving it a five-year lead in the industry and helping it succeed where the Japanese consumer electronics industry failed.
The Times reports that Apple intends to announce at WWDC next week that it will make it possible for developers of small programs written for the Macs to easily convert them to run on the iPhone.

"By every measure, and certainly through our extensive polling, it is clear that our long term economic crisis will only be solved by also fixing our nation's health-care system," said Consumers Union President Jim Guest. According to Guest, Consumers Union has been a strong advocate of increased federal funding for comparative effectiveness -- the task of comparing different options for treating a medical condition -- which received $1.1 billion in stimulus funding and is being looked at by Congress for additional funding. "Comparative effectiveness research helps patients and doctors make better choices, and will help improve our broken health-care system," said Guest.
Misgivings About Generics
When generic versions of a brand name drug are available, they are as safe and effective as the original. For brand name drugs, where a generic version is not available, in many cases doctors or pharmacists can substitute the generic version of an older drug with equivalent effectiveness (and often a longer safety record).

I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Scott Cunningham, Vice President of Investor Relations. Thank you. Mr. Cunningham, you may begin your conference.
Scott Cunningham
Thanks, Sharon, and good afternoon, everyone. Our principal speakers today will be Chairman and CEO, Ted Craver; and Chief Financial Officer, Jim Scilacci. Also with us are other members of the management team. Ted's prepared remarks, presentation that accompanies Jim's comments, earnings press release and our Edison International 10-K are available on our website at www.edisoninvestor.com. Tomorrow, we will issue our regular quarterly business update presentation that will use these and other slides for ongoing investor discussions.
During this call, we will make forward-looking statements about the financial outlook for Edison International and its subsidiaries and about other future events. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations. Important factors that could cause different results are set forth in our SEC filings. We encourage you to read them carefully. Presentation includes certain outlook assumptions, as well as reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Ted Craver.
Theodore F. Craver
Thank you, Scott, and good afternoon, everyone. Today, Edison International reported fourth quarter earnings of $0.75 per share and full year core earnings of $3.22 per share. We are pleased that our fourth quarter results have allowed us to deliver 2011 core earnings well above the high end of our guidance range.
Southern California Edison, Edison Mission Group and the parent, all contributed to outperforming the earnings guidance. Of particular note, Southern California Edison's core earnings increased $0.20 in the quarter and $0.32 for the full year due to rate base growth and a favorable tax adjustment that Jim will discuss a little later.
Typically, at this time of the year, we provide earnings guidance for the coming year. However, we will not be providing 2012 guidance until we receive a final decision in Southern California Edison's General Rate Case, which we hope will be in the first half of 2012.
In the absence of specific earnings guidance, Jim will discuss some of the key drivers to our 2012 earnings in his remarks.
On a reported basis, we showed a loss for the full year of $0.11 per share, due primarily to impairment charges at EMG. These impairment charges are largely the result of a sharp decline in power prices, combined with the need for substantial investment in retrofits for our coal fleet to comply with environmental regulations. I'll say more about those charges later during my remarks about EMG.
Let me begin by covering some recent developments at Southern California Edison. First, let me provide a brief update on the timing of the Southern California Edison's 2012 General Rate Case. As of now, we don't have a timeline for when we will get a final decision, although we hope it'll be in the first half of the year. Commission is aware of the need for a timely GRC decision, and we expect a proposed decision will be forthcoming shortly. But it is also important to remember that the final decision will be retroactive to January 1.
Our value proposition at Southern California Edison is driven by growth in capital investment, which is expected to result in average annual growth in rate base of 7% to 9% through 2014. This growth is largely driven by California policy mandates, as well as infrastructure replacement to ensure public safety and reliability.
Over the last 5 years, Southern California Edison has delivered compound annual growth in rate base of 11%, and its core earnings have increased at a 12% compound annual growth rate.
One large component of SCE's capital program is investment in transmission to connect renewable generators such as the Tehachapi and Devers-Colorado River projects. At these projects, we are seeing higher costs to mitigate various environmental impacts and from permitting delays. These additional costs are included in SCE's updated capital spending forecast.
I would also like to provide an update on the outage work taking place at our San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, or at we refer to as SONGS. Unit 2 is offline for a planned outage -- planned refueling outage and we took Unit 3 offline on January 31 to inspect a water leak in its steam generator. Steam generators in Unit 2 were replaced in 2010, and Unit 3's were replaced in 2011.
Planned inspections of the steam generators in Unit 2 found isolated areas of wear in some of the heat transfer tubes. We are in the process of preventively removing tubes from service as prescribed by industry guidelines and well within design margins for this kind of repair activity.

When considering modern communications, social networking and emerging technology, government has many different connotations
Lots of conferences and smaller events this year have focused on the theme of Government 2.0, which means many things to many people. I can't possibly hope to describe what Government 2.0 is or should be in this short column, but what I can do is provide a Top 5 list of different ways to look at issues in modern communications, social networking, emerging technology and government modernization.
1. Government as a process is about the underlying processes that people don't often see but employees spend most of their time dealing with. In this way of thinking about Gov 2.0, new technologies are being harnessed to promote internal sharing, build Enterprise 2.0 tools, create new efficiencies and discover novel uses of citizen input. One example is Spacebook, a social network for people who work at NASA facilities.
2. Government as a provider is a citizen-focused way of thinking about government work in which the government is seen as a giver of products and services. In this way of thinking, emerging technologies help government employees listen to citizens' needs and then provide public services that better meet those needs. One example is Princeton University's Research Collections and Preservation Consortium project, which uses crowd sourcing to share federal court documents.
3. Government as a partner showcases novel relationships that organizations and people forge with government through the use of emerging technologies. Both sides have a strong interest in creating the best outcome possible. One example is the Arkansas Recovery Portal, which shows how the state is spending funds it receives under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
4. Government as a product means that the government is viewed as a storehouse of valuable information that can power computer applications and the like. That approach differs from government as a provider in the sense that, in addition to providing services such as Social Security benefits, the government offers products such as the raw information on the Data.gov site. The Sunlight Foundation has created many platforms that make creative use of freely available government data.
5. Government as a protector and peacekeeper rounds out the Top 5. The government negotiates treaties, sends troops into harm's way, and provides law enforcement, courts and other structures to keep most people safe most of the time. And agencies try to accomplish those missions better. One example is how the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used new-media technologies, such as Twitter, to inform the public about the recent recall of peanut products.

Hi there! LO just turned 3 months and hasn't gotten the recommended 2 month vaccines. She did get Hep B at 10 days old in the hospital (although we wanted to delay it...long story). We are trying to figure out which ones we want to give at what times and would like to know your paths you chose. What did you get at what month/year?
For school in a few years, she would get Hep B, DTaP, Hib, Polio, MMR and Varicella...although I'd rather she just get the chicken pox than have this vaccine.

Randie Carver vs. Kabary Salem
From BoxRec
Revision as of 07:09, 26 April 2009 by Reenthelawman (Talk | contribs)
1999-09-12 : Kabary Salem 168 lbs beat Randie Carver 168 lbs by TKO at 2:05 in round 10 of 12
- Location: Harrah's Casino, Kansas City, Missouri, USA
- Referee: Ross Strada
- NABF Super Middleweight Title (1st defense of Carver)
- Time: 2:05
- Weights: Carver 168 lbs, Salem 168 lbs
- Aired on: Fox Sportsnet
- Carver, who was repeatedly head-butted in the early rounds of the fight, fell sluggishly to the canvas in the 10th round after taking an overhand right and a straight left from Salem. He tried on four occasions to get up, but could not even get up on his knees as he lost for the first time in his career.
- After referee Ross Strada ruled a knockout, Carver's eyes appeared to go back in his head, and he lost consciousness. He was rushed to the hospital after paramedics worked on him for about 20 minutes in the ring. Carver did not appear to ever regain consciousness.
- Carver passed away two days after the fight.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Whatever level of performance Ball State's pass defense reaches this season, it might be able to look back on Saturday's football game against Clemson and point to it as a result that served notice of the improvement it had to make.
The Tigers' Tajh Boyd, perhaps the best quarterback the Cardinals will face this season, riddled the Cardinals' defense for 229 passing yards and three touchdowns while playing only the first half.
That's all No. 12 Clemson needed from him as it rolled to a 35-point halftime lead on the way to a 52-27 victory against the Cardinals in front of 78,000 ...

David Stern Calls Hurricane Sandy, Katrina (Video)
by Robert Littal | Posted on Tuesday, October 30th, 2012
David Stern doesn't care.
He is retiring in 2014 and I think he has known he was going to be retiring for awhile that is why he has been going YOLO more often than usual.
I doubt he even apologizes.

Thomas Ashby(1874-1931), Archaeologist
Sitter in 2 portraits
Between 1899 and 1930, Ashby wrote regular reports for a variety of newspapers and journals on a series of excavations underway in Rome at the time. In 1902, he enrolled as the first student of the British School at Rome, a centre for archaeological research, and within a year had been appointed as assistant director. He was soon after promoted to director, a post he retained until 1925. Ashby produced a series of detailed topographical studies of the Roman roads of Italy, which were published as The Roman Campagna in Classical Times (1927).

Coal India Slips Below IPO Price on Sale Concern: Mumbai Mover
Aug. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of Coal India Ltd. fell below their initial public offering price after the government hired seven bankers to help sell a 5 percent stake in the world's biggest miner of the fuel.
Coal India fell 2.2 percent to 244.9 rupees at 1:54 p.m. in Mumbai after plunging as much as 4.8 percent. Banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG have been hired to help India sell the stake, said three people with direct knowledge of the matter, asking not to be identified because the information is not public. The government in October 2010 sold 10 percent of the company at 245 rupees apiece.
Discounted share sales by the federal government in state-run companies including NTPC Ltd. and Steel Authority of India Ltd. have eroded their value. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh plans to raise 400 billion rupees through share sales to narrow the nation's budget deficit, pay for subsidies and boost spending on public works.
"Government share sales have destroyed the wealth of investors like nothing else could," said Deven Choksey, managing director at Mumbai-based KR Choksey Shares & Securities Pvt. "It should now be a corporate governance issue and someone should be held accountable."
Trimmed Plan
The government plans to raise 100 billion rupees ($1.5 billion) selling shares in Kolkata-based Coal India, trimming by half an initial plan to divest a 10 percent stake, Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal said Aug. 1.
To proceed with the plan, the government must pacify trade unions, which threatened to strike work next month, fearing a further stake sale would be a step toward privatizing the company.
Five leading workers' unions agreed to go on a strike for three days starting Sept. 23 if the government didn't change its share sale plan in the coal miner, Jibon Roy, general secretary at All India Coal Workers Federation, said on Aug. 18. A three-day strike will mean a production loss of about 4 million tons and more than 5 billion rupees in revenue.
Deutsche Bank AG, Bank of America Corp., SBI Capital Markets Ltd., JM Financial Ltd. and Kotak Mahindra Capital were also hired by the government, the people said.
