Overuse Injuries
Topic Overview
Overuse injuries occur from stressing your joints, muscles, or other tissues without allowing them to recover. For example, throwing a baseball at high speeds over and over can stress your shoulder joint and cause an injury to part of that joint (the rotator cuff). Stress fractures, in which a bone breaks from the pressure placed on it through activity, are also common for athletes.
Overuse injuries can be caused by:
- Doing too much too soon.
- Doing intense exercise.
- Not varying your activity or exercise routine.
- Playing sports.
- Doing too much without proper conditioning.
- Not using the proper form for the activity.
- Not using proper equipment, such as wearing poorly fitting shoes.
- Doing too much of an activity at work.
For more information, see the topic:
- Achilles Tendon Problems. (A sign may be pain in the back of the heel.)
- Bursitis and/or Tendon Injury (Tendinopathy). (A sign may be pain in the joints or tendons.)
- Low Back Pain.
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. (A sign may be pain in the front of the knee.)
- Plantar Fasciitis. (A sign may be pain in the sole of the foot.)
- Rotator Cuff Disorders. (A sign may be shoulder or arm pain.)
- Tennis Elbow. (A sign may be elbow pain.)

News Re: Dollar Coins, YAY, Nixon, BOO!
posted by November 21 at 13:45 PMon
Bad news, Annie: Looks like mining interests are behind the reappearance of the dollar coin. From Matthew Yglesias:
Coverage of the new coins tends to start with a lot of talk about the Mint doing, thinking, or hoping this or that as if the US Mint is for some reason being run by people who don't understand coins and don't understand that the $1 coin is doomed as long as the $1 bill lives. Deeper in, though, you learn that "The coins were authorized by the 2005 Presidential Coin Act, which requires the minting of dollar coins commemorating the service of former United States presidents in the order in which they served."
In other words, it wasn't the mint's idea at all — it came from congress. But why would congress pass a law like that? Well, I have some familiarity with this topic and my understanding is that, in essence, the idea was being pushed by mining interests hoping to sell the government some more of their metal. They hired some lobbyists, the North Dakota delegation and Ben Nighthorse Campbell put up an ultimately successful fight to secure the long-term future of the Sacagewa Dollar, and ta-da! your presidential commemorative coins will be here shortly. Similarly, it's the zinc (or something) lobby that keeps the penny in existence. Only in America.
Via Unfogged, who really, really hates coins.

The Tenth IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications (ISPA 2012) was held in Leganes, Spain, July 10-13 2012. ISPA 2012 is the next event in a series of highly successful symposia on parallel and distributed computing and networking, previously held as ISPA 2011 (Busan, Korea), ISPA 2010 (Taipei, Taiwan), ISPA 2009 (Chengdu, China), ISPA 2008 (Sydney, Australia), ISPA 2007 (Niagara Falls, Canada), ISPA 2006 (Sorrento, Italy), ISPA 2005 (Nanjing, China), ISPA 2004 (Hong Kong), and ISPA 2003 (Aizu, Japan). This year the value, breadth, and depth of the ISPA symposium continues to strengthen and grow in importance for both the academic and industrial communities. This strength is evidenced this year by having a high number of submissions resulting in a selective program. In addition, the publishing of special issues from several high quality journals from Elsevier, Springer and Oxford make this symposium stronger.

Skip to comments.Pope Joan (Diane Sawyer looks at FEMALE POPE)
Posted on 12/22/2005 12:17:13 PM PST by theFIRMbss
"As its title reveals, the novel is based on the life of one of the most fascinating, extraordinary women in Western history--Pope Joan, a controversial figure of historical record who, disguised as a man, rose to rule Christianity in the 9th century as the first and only woman to sit on the throne of St. Peter. Principal photography for the movie version of Pope Joan is now scheduled to begin in Spring 2006. Casting for the most important roles is now underway. February 2005 -----------------------------------
Brilliant and talented, young Joan rebels against the medieval social strictures forbidding women to learn to read and write. When her older brother is killed during a Viking attack, Joan takes up his cloak and identity, goes to the monastery of Fulda, and is initiated into the brotherhood in his place. As Brother John Anglicus, Joan distinguishes herself as a great Christian scholar. Eventually she is drawn to Rome, where she becomes enmeshed in a dangerous web of love, passion, and politics. Triumphing over appalling odds, she finally attains the highest throne in Christendom.
Pope Joan is a sweeping historical drama set against the turbulent events of the 9th century -- the Saracen sack of St. Peter's, the famous fire in the Borgo that destroyed over three-quarters of the Vatican, the Battle of Fontenoy, arguably the bloodiest and most terrible of medieval conflicts. The novel is a fascinating vivid record of what life was really like during the so-called Dark Ages, as masterwork of suspense and passion that has as its center an unforgettable woman, reminiscent of Jean Auel's Ayla, Jane Austen's Emma, and other heroines who struggle against restrictions their souls will not accept."

According to the book there is now a chair that the newly elected popes sit on so that someone can look in on to see if there are dangling things there. Then he must announce "the Pope is a man." However, others say that the chair is nothing more than an old time toilet.
Of course when all is said and done, the movie will be nothing more than another episode in the "feminization" of society.

It's well made, very fancy.
It looks to my eyes
like some PR firm
is putting really big bucks
to capitalize
on "DaVinci Code"
and "The Passion" fans. I think
mainstream media
just sees "religion"
as ONE genre, without thought
that some stories are
faith-building, some are
tin foil thrillers, and some are
just exploitation.
Yeah, my first thought is why is all of this publicity being given to A FICTIONAL CHARACTER?!
Thanks for the link.
The principal proofs of the entirely mythical character of the popess are:
1. Not one contemporaneous historical source among the papal histories knows anything about her; also, no mention is made of her until the middle of the thirteenth century. Now it is incredible that the appearance of a "popess", if it was an historical fact, would be noticed by none of the numerous historians from the tenth to the thirteenth century.
2. In the history of the popes, there is no place where this legendary figure will fit in.
Between Leo IV and Benedict III, where Martinus Polonus places her, she cannot be inserted, because Leo IV died 17 July, 855, and immediately after his death Benedict III was elected by the clergy and people of Rome; but owing to the setting up of an antipope, in the person of the deposed Cardinal Anastasius, he was not consecrated until 29 September. Coins exist which bear both the image of Benedict III and of Emperor Lothair, who died 28 September, 855; therefore Benedict must have been recognized as pope before the last-mentioned date. On 7 October, 855, Benedict III issued a charter for the Abbey of Corvey. Hincmar, Archbishop of Reims, informed Nicholas I that a messenger whom he had sent to Leo IV learned on his way of the death of this pope, and therefore handed his petition to Benedict III, who decided it (Hincmar, ep. xl in P.L., CXXXVI, 85). All these witnesses prove the correctness of the dates given in the lives of Leo IV and Benedict III, and there was no interregnum between these two popes, so that at this place there is no room for the alleged popess.
Further, is is even less probable that a popess could be inserted in the list of popes about 1100, between Victor III (1087) and Urban II (1088-99) or Paschal II (1099-1110), as is suggested by the chronicle of Jean de Mailly.
This fable of a Roman popess seems to have had an earlier counterpart at Constantinople. Indeed, in his letter to Michael Caerularius (1053), Leo IX says that he would not believe what he had heard, namely that the Church of Constantinople had already seen eunuchs, indeed even a woman, in its episcopal chair (Mansi "Concil.", XIX, 635 sq.).
Concerning the origin of the whole legend of Popess Joan, different hypotheses have been advanced.
Bellarmine (De Romano Pontifice, III, 24) believes that the tale was brought from Constantinople to Rome.
Baronius (Annales ad a., 879, n. 5) conjectures that the much censured effeminate weaknesses of Pope John VIII (872-82) in dealing with the Greeks may have given rise to the story. Mai has shown (Nova Collectio Patr., I, Proleg., xlvii) that Photius of Constantinople (De Spir. Sanct. Myst., lxxxix) refers emphatically three times to this pope as "the Manly", as though he would remove from him the stigma of effeminacy.
Other historians point to the degradation of the papacy in the tenth century, when so many popes bore the name John; it seemed therefore a fitting name for the legendary popess. Thus Aventinus sees in the story a satire on John IX; Blondel, a satire on John XI; Panvinio (notae ad Platinam, De vitis Rom. Pont.) applies it to John XII, while Leander (Kirkengesch., II, 200) understands it as applicable generally to the baneful female influence on the papacy during the tenth century.
Other investigators endeavour to find in various occurrences and reports a more definite basis for the origin of this legend. Leo Allatius (Diss. Fab. de Joanna Papissa) connects it with the false prophetess Theota, condemned at the Synod of Mainz (847); Leibniz recalls the story that an alleged bishop Johannes Anglicus came to Rome and was there recognized as a woman. The legend has also been connected with the pseudo-Isidorian Decretals, e.g. by Karl Blascus ("Diatribe de Joanna Papissa", Naples, 1779), and Gfrörer (Kirchengesch., iii, 978).
Döllinger's explanation has met with more general approval ("Papstfabeln", Munich, 1863, 7-45). He recognizes the fable of Popess Joan as a survival of some local Roman folk-tale originally connected with certain ancient monuments and peculiar customs. An ancient statue discovered in the reign of Sixtus V, in a street near the Colosseum, which showed a figure with a child, was popularly considered to represent the popess. In the same street a monument was discovered with an inscription at the end of which occurred the well-known formula P.P.P. (proprie pecuniâ posuit) together with a prefixed name which read: Pap. (?Papirius) pater patrum. This could easily have given origin to the inscription mentioned by Jean de Mailly (see above). It was also observed that the pope did not pass along this street in solemn procession (perhaps on account of its narrowness). Further it was noticed that, on the occasion of his formal inauguration in front of the Lateran Basilica, the newly-elected pope always seated himself on a marble chair. This seat was an ancient bath-stool, of which there were many in Rome; it was merely made use of by the pope to rest himself. But the imagination of the vulgar took this to signify that the sex of the pope was thereby tested, in order to prevent any further instance of a woman attaining to the Chair of St. Peter.
Erroneous explanations such as were often excogitated in the Middle Ages in connection with ancient monuments and popular imagination are originally responsible for the fable of "Popess Joan" that uncritical chroniclers, since the middle of the thirteenth century, dignified by consigning it to their pages.

Old story, which has been long debunked (like in the 1850s!)
If you are interested in the debunking, see:
Mmmm. Yeah. Which version of the 'popess' tale is an 'historical' record?
Another jobs that Americans just won't do.
I'm not even Catholic, but I have long heard that this story is bogus. Wasn't it filmed already, circa 197?
I liked the part about giving birth in the "Popemobile."
| In Diane's history,
the "true" record probably
will be the record
that makes Catholics
look most repressive, and men
in general, bad.
Monks don't have Fruit of the Looms.
Is that why they referred to it as a novel?
Not enough money out there for me to lift a Papal skirt and look for doo-dads. Let the Mexicans do it!!
My alma mater's rare books library has a very old German book circulating this legend. As I recall, the story arose when some Germans and the papacy were fighting over something or other a few centuries before the Reformation, but a few centuries after the alleged popess.
Is that why they referred to it as a novel?Yes, a novel that purports to be "based on the life of one of the most fascinating, extraordinary women in Western history--Pope Joan, a controversial figure of historical record."
Papal Pecker Checker?
The problem with this subject is that the ancient and medival church is not exactly an honest, reliable source.
She's a man, baby. - Austin Powers
Another explanation I recall is that some of the Popes of the era were figureheads, tugged hither and yon by mothers and sisters with more forceful personalities. The "Pope Joan" legend may be a distortion or satire of those times.
"The DaVinci Code"
and "Holy Blood, Holy Grail"
have been "accepted"
as reasonable
histories by many folk.
If they accept those . . .
As soon as I see novel based upon facts I break out into hives. I guess we need these books every now and then so we can inform the general public.I can live with historical novels with fictional characters. I just hate it when the authors lie about history.
The problem with this subject is that the ancient and medival church is not exactly an honest, reliable source.Who can prove a negative?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. In the absence of positive, contemporary evidence of her existence, I'll consider Pope Joan a hoax.
You have to look at the hostory of the church and not just respond to novels. The churh has bben rife with corruption and politics at many times. After the burning of the library at Alexandria, the church became the biggest repository of books in the world. That's a lot of power and history in the hands of sometime corrupt popes and some who would act out of politcial motivation and their perceived need to protect the church from heresy.
Not defending Pope Joan. Are you saying the church history has been without sin?
Not defending Pope Joan. Are you saying the church history has been without sin?Huh? What does that have to do with Pope Joan?

This is just another BS story to tryin and imply Hitlary is "just another" woman.
Sorry to the Dinosaur Media, Hitlary is unworthy of even dog catcher.
Better off reading fellow freeper Patrick Madrid's book:
That's ok... Newsweek has already declared that "The Davinci Code" is going to be "Next Years Hottest Movie" on their cover no less... amazing.. now the press corp thinks they can predict the future.....
Not to obvious that the same media company that owns Newsweek also is in bed on the movie is it??
What absolute drivel.
This is the 21st Century. Truth is what the MSM wants you to believe.
Why is it that the ACLU and MSM decide that Christmas and Easter is the best time to try and depress and slander a chosen religion, which is still a protected right in this country, in order to erode people's beliefs and destroy people's hope?
Do they take pleasure in this? I can tell you a few things that I would take pleasure in doing to these groups. But it wouldn't be the christian thing to do.
Actually, what they used to say is "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes", which roughly translates to "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely". Kind of funny actually!
As to the whole debate over whether she actually existed, I'd think that the matter would be easy enough to settle. One of the few things that all of the versions of the legends agree on is that she gave birth in that carriage, and that she was buried in that spot under the street. Since we know exactly which street, and even which part of the street, that the popess was supposedly exposed on, it would be trivial to scan it to see if there's actually anyone buried there.
I don't doubt that the Catholic Church had the ability to bury events they wanted forgotten, and the fact that they had centuries to do it makes it all the more plausible that such an event of this magnitude could have been covered up. Still, I don't think she actually existed. The fact that no OTHER nations outside of Catholic Europe recorded an intermediary pope during this period is a fairly solid indication that it didn't happen. Even Muslim historians briefly mention the appointment and deaths of the Catholic popes, since Christian Europe was one of their main adversaries and the pope was seen as one of their leaders. There's no mention of an intermediary pope in that period, and certainly no mention of one being female (which Muslims would have found to be devastatingly scandalous and would have written about extensively).
Pope Joan is an URBAN myth............
Same to you!
It's about as true as The DaVinci Code.
| You know, I have heard
folks say Joe Theisman had balls . . .
I guess that must mean
once upon a time
there was a quarterback who
was really a girl
and the NFL
covered it up, but today
we still indicate
real male quarterbacks
by saying that they have balls . . .
It all makes sense now!
I think it's because
Christians -- not even Mormons
or Catholics -- don't
track down and murder
people who slander Christ or
We don't strap on bombs
and blow up innocent folks
if we feel slighted.
We are a backward
religion out of touch with
modern world values . . .
I'd bet money that
if Jim Robinson paid out
proper loads of cash,
Newsweek would put him
on the cover and report
that Free Republic
is the greatest thing
since the New Deal . . . Seems to me
it's just a question
of knowing how much
to pay to whom and how to
do it sub rosa . . .
Thanks for the laugh tonight, I really needed it... :)
This is anti-Catholic bigotry, plain and simple.
The Da Vinci Code, and now this garbage.
Shame on ABC.

THE LARGEST first-year funding ever granted by the federal Health Resources and Services Administration is now being implemented in the Lone Star State. In October 1990, $3.1 million was given to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) and cooperating schools and communities to establish an Area Health Education Center (AHEC) for the Lower Rio Grande Valley and South Texas. The purpose of the 3-year grant (which is expected to become a 9-year program) is to expand health care and enhance health manpower in the valley and along the Texas-Mexico border, where 3 million Mexican Americans live. Many of them are medically uninsured or underinsured.
Ciro V. Sumaya, MD, MPH, a Mexican American who is from Brownsville, Tex, and is now director of the South Texas Health Research Center at UTHSCSA, says, "The AHEC concept is quite significant because it involves a partnership between a health

The home side, opting to bat first, were dismissed for 248
after 48.1 overs and Bates' third international century led
her side to victory with 5.1 overs to spare.
Runs flowed from the get-go in the White Ferns' pursuit, with
the wicket of Lucy Doolan for 10 the only blemish in an
otherwise strong start.
Amy Satterthwaite joined her skipper following Doolan's
departure and was aggressive against the Australian bowling
attack early.
Both players brought up their half-centuries in quick
succession and took New Zealand to 152-1 after 28 overs.
Satterthwaite was eventually dismissed for 98, but Bates
remained at the crease and brought up a brilliant century
four overs later.
Bates then capped off the inspirational knock by seeing out
the match with Sara McGlashan (17*) to wrap up an emphatic
Bates's player-of-the-match performance was highlighted by 16
fours and a six and came from 131 balls.
Earlier, the Stars had come back from a middle-order collapse
to post a competitive total.
Meg Lanning was the anchor in the Australian innings, scoring
87 from 71 balls, but the Stars lost wickets regularly.
An eighth-wicket partnership of 80 between Jodie Fields (51)
and Rachael Hayne (34) somewhat revived the Australian
innings to ensure they posted a competitive total.
White Ferns' seamer Rachel Candy finished with figures of
4-36 from nine overs, and found help from Sian Ruck and Morna
Nielsen who picked up two wickets apiece.
New Zealand leads the four match series 1-0, with the second
match to be played tomorrow.

On what would have been the aviator's 115th birthday, an image of her Lockheed Vega 5b adorns the search engine's homepage
Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank has taken to the skies during a special episode of Oprah to help women face their worst fears. The Million Dollar Baby star had learned to fly for her new movie Amelia, in which she plays the legendary Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Swank, 35, said becoming an aviator proved a huge challenge but that she had emerged stronger and more able to face life's battles. As part of Wednesday's Oprah show, Swank took a confidence-lacking Idaho housewife up in a plane to help inspire her. Although Swank doesn't yet have her own pilot's licence, she can fly a plane with an instructor. She told Oprah Winfrey: "I've jumped out of planes, I've bungee jumped, I've paraglided and parasailed. "[After learning to fly] I went to pick up my boyfriend from a meeting in Las Vegas. I cancelled his flight and showed up, and he saw the plane and he said, 'I have to get in there?' "I said, 'We flew all this way, you better get in.' And then he white-knuckled it the whole way." Hilary has been dating her boyfriend, agent John Campisi, for three years. When it comes to getting married, Swank says she doesn't know what the future will bring. "It's not something we're talking about," she says. "I don't know. We'll see."
Ewan McGregor, 38, moonlighted for the biopic Amelia, such was his desire to join co-star Hilary Swank in telling the amazing story of female aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. McGregor was making I Love You Phillip Morris with Jim Carrey when Amelia was in production. But shoots were able to accommodate a truly airbound McGregor, who jetted between the two sets. McGregor recalled: "Hilary Swank has been a good friend of mine for years, and we've always talked about working together. I suppose we kind of kept our eyes open for something. She called me about Amelia just as I arrived to start shooting I Love You Phillip Morris, and we struggled for quite some time, but I really wanted to make it work dates-wise. So I literally made the two films at the same time, flying back and forth from Toronto." Swank, 35, has won two Oscars. The movie tells the story of Earhart who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 trying to fly around the world.
A pair of goggles worn by Hilary Swank in a movie about aviator Amelia Earhart sparked a bidder's frenzy and sold for more than any other celebrity item at a California auction. The goggles are the real enchilada, they were worn on Earhart's astonishing solo flight across the Atlantic in 1932. They sold for $141,600 at the 37th Hollywood Memorabilia Auction. Experts at Profiles In History were said to be stunned by the bidding war over the goggles. A Martin D-28 guitar belonging to Elvis Presley for his final Las Vegas performance fetched $106,200, while an original T-800 Endoskeleton from Terminator 2 3-D: Battle Across Time sold for $94,400. An illuminating glove worn by Michael Jackson on his Victory Tour in 1984 was sold for $70,800 while a $56,050 bull whip used by Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade also sold. The Profiles In History auction house in Los Angeles generated about $5million in memorabilia sales at the auction.

Subliminal channels are covert channels established in cryptosystems such as digital signatures and authentication systems by exploiting the inherent randomness of the cryptosystems and are used to hide secret information. Subliminal channel is a serious threat to sensitive systems with high-level security. The state-of-the-art security requires subliminal channels to be detected and if possible prevented. A subliminal-free variant of ECDSA using interactive protocol is designed so that the session key in ECDSA is completely subliminal-free. In the interactive protocol, the signer and the warden who detects each data sent by the signer are the two participants. And at the end of the protocol the warden finishes the signer's signature but he can't forge the signer's signature.

This item from Two For His Heels is now SOLD
More from Two For His Heels
Set of 6 Art Deco Combination Table Numbers and Trump Indicators w/ Original Box, Taylor Tally Co., c.1920s (?)
Wonderful complete set of 6 art deco combination bridge table numbers and trump indicators made by Taylor Tally Co., each featuring a colorful parrot. I am not certain of the date, but note another Taylor Tally item for sale on the internet that can be reliably dated to 1910. Given the art deco look of these tallies, I have dated them c.1920s.
Each of the round parrot table numbers is backed by a concentric green cardboard that has the several trump indications on it. The parrot table number turns and reveals the suit and NT trump indications. Each is approximately 2½" in diameter. They come in the original box, and have directions for use. Frankly, it is not clear to me that the Directions apply to these table numbers. Similarly, there is a sheet of simple cardboard letters, which are mentioned in the Directions but do not appear to apply to these table numbers. It seems to me that these items – Directions and letters – are relevant to bridge tallies made by Taylor Tally, and may have been included in the box for these table numbers as a matter of course.
The tallies and box are in excellent condition, without issues of any kind.

"Paradise..." Top 5 Page for this destination Zihuatanejo by Nicckie
Zihuatanejo Travel Guide: 53 reviews and 137 photos
Name that movie:
"ANDY: Tell you where I'd go. Zihuatanejo.
RED: Zihuatanejo?
ANDY: Mexico. Little place right on the Pacific. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific? They say it has no memory. That's where I'd like to finish out my life, Red. A warm place with no memory. Open a little hotel right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up like new. Take my guests out charter fishing."
Zihua (as the locals call it) is more amazing than something out of a movie. Its a little piece of paradise that is still so relaxed and connected with nature.
From the beaches of Playa Blanca to the views off the cliffs at Casa que Canta, this little gem is a spot worth checking out!
- Pros:White beaches, relaxation, fabulous food, fishing, snorkeling and more
- Cons:I don't live there :-(
- In a nutshell:The ultimate in paradise

Petros Giannakouris, Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece — Greek party leaders on Tuesday will seek a long-delayed agreement on harsh cutbacks demanded to avoid looming bankruptcy, amid intense pressure from its bailout creditors to reach a deal, a general strike disrupting public services and thousands of protesters taking to the streets of Athens.
Heads of the three parties backing the interim government will confer with Prime Minister Lucas Papademos on new income cuts and job losses, which Greece's eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund are demanding to keep the country's vital rescue loans flowing.
A general strike against the impending cutbacks stopped train and ferry services nationwide, while many schools and banks were closed and state hospitals worked on skeleton staff.
Police said up to 14,000 people took part in two peaceful anti-austerity demonstrations in Athens. The separate marches were to converge on central Syntagma Square, outside Parliament, which has been the focus of demonstrations over the past two years of economic pain.
On Monday, Prime Minister Lucas Papademos' government caved in to demands to cut civil service jobs, announcing 15,000 positions would go this year, out of a total 750,000. The decision breaks a major taboo, as state jobs had been protected for more than a century to prevent political purges by governments seeking to appoint their supporters.
Athens must placate its creditors to clinch a €130 billion ($170 billion) bailout deal from the eurozone and the IMF and avoid a March default on its bond repayments.
Among the measures the EU and IMF are pressing Greece for is a cut in the €750 ($979) minimum wage to help boost the country's competitiveness. This reduction would have a knock-on effect in the private sector — because private companies also base their salaries on the minimum wage — and even unemployment benefits. Unions and employers' federations alike have deplored the measure as unfair and unnecessary.
"It is clear that there is a lot of pressure being put on the country. A lot of pressure is being placed on the Greek people," Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said during a break in talks with EU-IMF debt inspectors late Monday.
He called on coalition parties to work more closely together.
"To save Greece ... will involve a huge social cost and sacrifices," Venizelos said. "On the other hand, if the negotiations fail, bankruptcy will lead to even greater sacrifices."
"No one is as strong as Hercules on his own to face the Lernaean Hydra," a swamp monster in Greek mythology, he said. "We must all, together, fight this battle, without petty party motives and slick moves."
A disorderly bankruptcy by Greece would likely lead to its exit from the eurozone, a situation that European officials have insisted is impossible because it would hurt other weak countries like Portugal.
But on Tuesday, the EU commissioner Neelie Kroes, in charge of the bloc's digital policies, said Greece's exit wouldn't be a disaster.
Kroes told Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant that "It's always said: if you let one nation go, or ask one to leave, the entire structure will collapse. But that is just not true."
Greece has been kept solvent since May 2010 by payments from a €110 billion ($145 billion) international rescue loan package. When it became clear the money would not be enough, a second bailout was decided last October.
As well as the austerity measures, the bailout also depends on separate talks with banks and other private bondholders to forgive €100 billion ($131.6 billion) in Greek debt. The private investors have been locked in negotiations over swapping their current debt for a cash payment and new bonds worth 50 percent less than the original face value, with longer repayment terms and a lower interest rate.

This Exit, No Return
Using Art to Advocate and Empower Parents continued...
Readers' theatre has been used extensively for advocating for various causes, the most popular in recent times has been the Tectonic Theatre's Laramie Project (Kaufman 2001) about the slaying of a gay student in Wyoming. This play has traveled community and college circuits for the last nine years, converting more dispositions toward tolerance than all the news articles could accomplish. Many other plays for many other social issues have been successful in their advocacy for the people directly involved through discrimination (Knowles, G. & Cole A. 2008, Denzine, N. 2003, Grey, R. & Sinding, C. 2002).
In the following play, "This Exit, No Return," each parent expresses individually their initial reactions to discovering that their child will grow up differently. They voice their fears, hopes, and dreams as they describe for an audience the frustrations and riches of their lives. The piece is intended to be used by groups to bring awareness to the general public and to teachers and other school personnel of the perception that children with disabilities are unique and whole individuals. While this may seem an unusual medium for advocating for children with disabilities, it has been proven to be very effective. This play has been read in many classes for special education and general education teachers.
Most recently it was read as part of a presentation at the 2009 national convocation for Kappa Delta Pi, an international honorary for teachers. Each time it is performed, the reaction is the same. There are tears of sadness, then joy. This play is intended for parent advocacy groups. It can be used in community meetings to bring a better understanding and respect for all children with disabilities and their families. It is only 20 minutes long and can be performed anywhere. The direct words of parents are the script with minor adjustments for parallelism and logical flow. The words are eloquent and articulate. It speaks directly to and for parents of all children. The parents used in the article are from
Appalachian Ohio and have fewer resources than many families in urban areas. They rarely have been asked to share their stories. They are very generous in sharing their lives with the world.

ConsumerUK Guide
Purchasing a house – useful tips
Although your building society will carry out a "valuation", this is not a full survey and it may be worth thinking about having a full structural survey carried out depending on the age of the property. Although a seller has a duty to disclose anything about the property, it may be that the seller would not be aware of this, ie woodworm and a full survey would show up such matters and if necessary a price renegotiation can be made.
Things that can be taken into account;
Things that cannot be taken into account
Joint Tenants
Tenants in Common in equal shares
Tenants in Common in unequal shares
Although it is expected that Rent is payable with a leasehold property, there are Properties where service charges are payable, particular with a flat or where there are common parts used by several owners. These service charges are usually paid in advance by estimated accounts and any balance would be payable at the end of the Landlords' financial year. Sometimes there is also a "Reserve Fund" which collects extra funds for large expenditure items that may be forthcoming and again, these are usually payable in advance on a monthly basis.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the legal information contained on "consumeruk" is accurate, it does not constitute legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances. If you act upon it, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk. Neither the Proprietor nor Dean Dunham can assume responsibility and do not accept liability for any damage or loss which may arise as a result of your reliance upon it.

I just installed a new Radeon 3650 1GB DDR2 AGP Graphics Card. When my computer comes out of Sleep mode (Windows 7), I now notice faint horzitonal lines (one or two pixels high all the way across the screen) that kind of flickers. When I turn the monitor off/on they go away and the monitor looks good.
This is happening on my Samsung 24" (It does not happen on the second attached Dell 17" monitor) Refresh Rate 59 hertz (It allows for a 60 hertz, but everytime I select it, it switches back to 59 hertz)
Any ideas?
Should I replaced the card with a new one?
Should I get a different card?
Should the monitor be replaced?
This was interesting. As I was typing this email it was flickering. I did not turn the monotor off/on so I could observer what was going on while I was typing. It progressively got a little worse, to a point where the white background on this page had many faint yellow boxes. Also, a small cursor started to appear on the flickering lines. Then after about 10 minutes the monitor when black for about 2 second and when it turned back on the monitor looked OK. I guess the monitor rest itself.

The team at the 4Play Soundsystem are regulars at the Notting Hill Carnival, having played here since 1994. The group is made up of 5 members, all of whom have a grown up throwing parties and DJing at sold out events. Inspired by the music their parents listened to, the group play a party mix of different musical genres in an attempt to keep up with ever-changing trends. From Jazz Funk and Old Skool, to Funky House and Reggae, these urban pioneers have learnt a trick or two over the years and definitely know what it takes to throw a great street rave.
With over 20 years of experience, you definitely won't be disappointed at this buzzing stage.
