Environmental scientists are demanding tougher regulation of airborne pollutants from the Port Pirie lead smelter in South Australia.
Head researcher Professor Mark Taylor of Macquarie University previously has studied the danger of lead particles coating playground equipment in the regional city, where there long has been a program monitoring children's blood-lead levels.
He is critical of the licence arrangements for Nyrstar's lead smelter, saying they fail to stop massive emissions of the toxic pollutants such as arsenic, cadmium and sulfur dioxide.

|SOAP and Schema
|Mon, 16 Oct 2000 23:24:01 GMT
After reading the SOAP 1.1 spec I'm a little unclear as to whether or not SOAP will permit schemaless types. Well, I guess I'm really concerned about two levels of "schemaless" operation. The first level which I know SOAP supports is placing the type directly into an element via "xsi:type". As a result, all my SOAP param information would be self describing and not require an explicit separate schema file. The second level which I'm uncertain of is having elements that have no explicit type decl and no schema file. For example, having "<somecrap>23s6C *e 3-3 s</somecrap>" in a SOAP param with no schema file. Essentially SOAP would have to treat this is a blob that it cannot look into. Even if the 2nd case is possible, do current SOAP impls puke on it? In other words, do SOAP impls want explicit type information for every param they deal with? Thanks for the help. -- Brian Hannan Chief Admiral of Uncle Jam's Navy "One nation under a groove, gettin' down just for the FUNK of it."

For the next few days, we'll be celebrating the upcoming Rally To Restore Sanity/March To Keep Fear Alive by highlighting the ways in which "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" have long advocated reasonableness. You're invited to take part! Remember a "moment of sanity" that was dear to you? Send me an email and tell me about it!
Armed with a slew of emailers who have discussed it, and having cited it twice myself, I think that today's as good a day as any to remind everyone of that time Jon Stewart appeared on the October 14, 2004 edition of CNN's televised temple of dumbed-down political discourse, Crossfire ("named after the stray bullets that hit innocent bystanders in a gang fight") and tore the show a new exit point for its alimentary canal. In a very contentious segment, Stewart put Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson on blast -- referring to the co-hosts as "partisan hacks," and begging them to "stop hurting America."
The event rooted much of the dissent that the Rally is now facing, as well. Accused of confronting then-presidential candidate John Kerry with softball questions, Stewart countered by saying he was surprised that "the news organizations look to Comedy Central for their cues on integrity." To many media critics, this was a dodge that permanently defined what the Daily Show does. But to normal people, like emailer Larry Alessandrini relates to me today, "Stewart basically laid the seed for his upcoming Rally, the premise of which is that the most extreme, insane voices get all the media attention. His biting critique of Crossfire illustrated that without a sane, rational, objective press in this country, sanity and civil discourse has no chance."
In January of 2005, CNN canceled Crossfire. And nobody who's worth even a blessed minute of your time misses it.

The diabetes and obesity epidemics in the United States remain prominent public health issues. The two defining characteristics of diabete are postprandial and fasting hyperglycemia, the latter resulting from increased hepatic glucose production (HGP). Importantly, abnormal insulin action in the liver has major consequences for whole body physiology, seriously impacting lipid and glucose metabolism. In the last decade, significant progress has been made towards understanding the regulation of HGP by insulin and how this process is disrupted during insulin-resistant states. A consensus has emerged that the most important pathway involves insulin activation of Akt, which inhibits Foxo, suppressing Foxo1's transcriptional program. Surprisingly, recent experiments have shown that livers devoid of Akt and Foxo1 can still suppress HGP in response to both feeding and insulin, establishing that these proteins are not obligate intermediates in insulin signaling. Consequently, there must exist alternative, unknown mechanisms that mediate insulin action in the liver, and these may represent new therapeutic targets for the treatment of hyperglycemia. Moreover, these data are consistent with the increasing body of evidence that insulin may act cell-nonautonomously, signaling through non-hepatic tissues to regulate liver glucose and lipid metabolism in mice. Using primarily genetic loss- of-function approaches, this proposal aims to elucidate the non-canonical pathway by which insulin regulates hepatic glucose output and gluconeogenic gene expression. In doing so, I will 1) determine whether insulin is acting on an organ other than liver to regulat HGP in the absence of hepatic insulin action and 2) determine the Akt-independent pathway acting in hepatocytes. If insulin is still capable of regulating hepatic glucose metabolsm in the absence of hepatic insulin signaling, the insulin responsive tissue that is relaying the signal to suppress HGP will be identified~ likely candidates include brain and adipose tissue. Preliminary data suggest that Stat3 is activated in livers null for Akt and Foxo1. Targeed deletion of Stat3 in the liver will test the hypothesis that intact Stat3 signaling i required to suppress liver HGP independent of Akt and Foxo1. Ultimately, the new mechanisms identified by these studies will advance our knowledge of normal metabolism and will allow us to identify new therapeutic strategies for treatment of metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
To maintain energy balance during periods of starvation and nutrient surfeit, the liver dynamically regulates the storage and production of glucose to meet the metabolic demands of the body. However in diabetic and obese individuals, insulin fails to properly suppress glucose production in the liver resulting in hyperglycemia. The study proposed here aims to identify novel mechanisms and sites of insulin action, thereby providing new therapeutic targets for insulin-resistant disorders such as type 2 diabetes.

Aviation Security:
Efforts to Measure Effectiveness and Address Challenges

It has been 2 years since the attacks of September 11,2001, exposed vulnerabilities in the nation's aviation system. Since then, billions of dollars have been spent on a wide range of initiatives designed to enhance the security of commercial aviation. However, vulnerabilities in aviation security continue to exist. As a result, questions have been raised regarding the effectiveness of established initiatives in protecting commercial aircraft from threat objects, and whether additional measures are needed to further enhance security. Accordingly, GAO was asked to describe the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) efforts to (1) measure the effectiveness of its aviation security initiatives, particularly its passenger screening program; (2) implement a risk management approach to prioritize efforts and focus resources; and (3) address key challenges to further enhance aviation security.
TSA has implemented numerous initiatives designed to enhance aviation security, but has collected limited information on the effectiveness of these initiatives in protecting commercial aircraft. Our recent work on passenger screening found that little testing or other data exist that measures the performance of screeners in detecting threat objects. However, TSA is taking steps to collect data on the effectiveness of its security initiatives, including developing a 5-year performance plan detailing numerous performance measures, as well as implementing several efforts to collect performance data on the effectiveness of passenger screening--such as fielding the Threat Image Projection System and increasing screener testing. TSA has developed a risk management approach to prioritize efforts, assess threats, and focus resources related to its aviation security initiatives as we previously recommended, but has not yet fully implemented this approach. A risk management approach is a systematic process to analyze threats, vulnerabilities, and the criticality (or relative importance) of assets to better support key decisions. TSA is developing and implementing both a criticality and a vulnerability assessment tool to provide a basis for risk-based decision-making. TSA is currently using some components of these tools and plans to fully implement its risk management approach by the summer 2004. TSA faces a number of programmatic and management challenges as it continues to enhance aviation security. These include the implementation of the new computer-assisted passenger prescreening system, as well as strengthening baggage screening, airport perimeter and access controls, air cargo, and general aviation security. TSA also must manage the costs associated with aviation security and address human capital challenges, such as sizing its workforce as efficiency is improved with security-enhancing technologies--including the integration of explosive detection systems into in-line baggage-handling systems. Further challenges in sizing its workforce may be encountered if airports are granted permission to opt out of using federal screeners.

Mankind is always being blamed for blighting the grandeur of Nature, but this time things look like working out the other way round. For while the men responsible for Duke Of Marmalade and New Approach were hoping to reach for the stars at York this afternoon, it is very hard for anyone to get his feet off ground quite as muddy as this.
Yesterday, after some understandable vacillation, connections confirmed that Duke Of Marmalade will take his chance against the Derby winner in the Juddmonte International Stakes. But heavy going means that there is precious little prospect of what might be called a clean fight.
These outstanding Irish colts, in this discipline perhaps the world champions of their respective generations, were coming here to meet on neutral turf. In the event, however, it seems inevitable that the ground will itself prove critical to the outcome.
At the best of times, York has often seemed prey to mysterious track biases. Judged on its generous topography, the Knavesmire should be the fairest track in the land, yet tends to produce invisible highways, often favouring frontrunners. In fairness, the executive is investing heavily in new drainage to ensure that York is as hospitable to those on four legs as it is, beyond question, to those on two. But something along the lines of the Thames flood barrier will be needed to cope with another August as vile as this one.
The irony will be lost on few who wondered whether the meeting's extension, to include a fourth day, might result in a "dilution" of quality. Either way, it will be tough going for the groundsmen if the surface is to remain fit for Group One runners in the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes on Friday.
All in all, the conditions represent a dispiriting context to what should, by rights, be the showdown of the year to date. In one corner, Duke Of Marmalade, immaculate in four Group One wins already this season, including when trying a new distance at Ascot last time. In the other, New Approach, a decisive Derby winner, and an old-fashioned one, too, having also been champion juvenile. On paper, you can forget the rest. It is more like a match between prizefighters. Consider the cornermen, too: the matchless Aidan O'Brien matched against his mentor, Jim Bolger; and the inveterate winners of Coolmore against that unflagging adventurer, Sheikh Mohammed.
Yet the chances are that the canvas has already been skewed. For the one potential chink in the armour of the iron Duke remains ground like this. He has never experienced anything like it, and while his jockey, Johnny Murtagh, clings to the belief that this horse "would die for you", it would be a pity to see him discover any kind of pain barrier when he still has vital challenges ahead this autumn.
In fairness, we have become accustomed to O'Brien fortifying brilliant horses with hardiness and versatility. Even in risking Duke Of Marmalade, moreover, his masters have confirmed that their own interests nowadays seem to dovetail far more happily with those of the sporting public.
It is pretty obvious, of course, where O'Brien learned how to toughen horses. Bolger has never excused his charges graft. To more conventional minds, indeed, the setback that caused New Approach to be scratched from the Irish Derby could yet prove a very timely one – Bolger having found himself obliged to give the colt the sort of midsummer break orthodoxy demands for any Classic horse asked to hold his form into the autumn.
By the same token, New Approach is entitled to need the run today, which in turn potentially vitiates the benefit of his proven ability to handle deep ground. It may even prove that the singular circumstances permit some interloper to bridge the abyss dividing the two favourites from the rabble, but those contemplating a bet are best advised to treat last year's race as a template.
On that occasion, the Derby winner, Authorized, gained first run on Dylan Thomas. This time round O'Brien has campaigned Duke Of Marmalade along the same path as Dylan Thomas, only with still more success; but he may yet meet a similar reverse against another exceptional Epsom winner, in New Approach (3.25).
There is too much guesswork involved, however, for punters to get seriously involved in these conditions. Patkai, for instance, was well beaten in soft ground in the spring but has subsequently improved into an obvious St Leger favourite; Top Lock (2.50) at least slogged his way into third in the German Derby in horrible ground and could prove better value for the Ladbrokes Great Voltigeur Stakes.
And who can say which of the unexposed youngsters will handle the gloop best in the Acomb Stakes? Experience could be important, and perhaps that will bring Rileyskeepingfaith (2.15) into play at a good price.
There are fewer doubts, however, about Allied Powers (4.40) in the last. Proven in testing ground, he looked ready for renewed progress when failing to get home over a longer distance last time.

Reunited Kingdom
this wiki
The Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor (also called the "Two Kingdoms") was a realm of Middle-earth consisting of Arnor (from older times) in the north and Gondor in the south.
At the end of the Second Age, Elendil and his sons established two great kingdoms in Middle-earth: Arnor in the north and Gondor in the south. These Kingdoms of the Dúnedain were united under a single High King, Elendil himself, who ruled the North-kingdom while his sons reigned jointly over the South-kindom of Gondor. In the first years of the Third Age, this union failed. After the loss of Isildur at the Disaster of the Gladden Fields, his nephew Meneldil took up the kingship of Gondor, and that country remained independent from the North-kingdom through most of the Third Age. In the north, the realm of Arnor fell into troubled times. It broke into three separate kingdoms, and in time these too were lost, so that the Dúnedain of the North-kingdom of Elendil were reduced to a wandering people led by a Chieftain. Nonetheless, they were able to maintain Isildur's line in unbroken descent, while the Kings failed in Gondor, and its rule was taken up by the Stewards.
There were two attempts to reunite the kingdoms. The first of these occurred in III 1944, when Arvedui of Arthedain claimed the High Kingship of the Two Kingdoms. His claim was rejected by Steward Pelendur and the Council of Gondor, who elected to maintain their independence. More than a thousand years later, after the War of the Ring, Arvedui's direct descendant Aragorn came forward to make the same claim. This time, the people of Gondor accepted a High King, and the Two Kingdoms were reunited at last.
Like his ancestor Elendil before him, Aragorn took up his rule from the North-kingdom, but he travelled throughout his wide lands. The Shire was an exception to this, and though it lay within the Reunited Kingdom, Aragorn made a law that Men should not enter it, a law that he observed himself. Though his seat was in the north, Minas Tirith and the South-kingdom remained important, to the extent that he travelled there at the end of his life, and his tomb was among the Houses of the Dead beneath Mount Mindolluin. After Aragorn's death, his son Eldarion took up the High Kingship, and the Reunited Kingdom endured for many years under the new King and his descendants.
Notable KingsEdit
- Aragorn II, King Elessar, the first king of the Reunited Kingdom
- Eldarion, son of Aragorn, the second king of the Reunited Kingdom

BOSTON (AP) - A chemist who admitted faking test results in criminal cases was the "sole bad actor" in a scandal that forced the shutdown of a state drug lab in Boston, but the facility also was plagued by management failures, inadequate training and a lack of protocols, a report released Tuesday found.
The lab, formerly run by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, was closed by state police in 2012 after chemist Annie Dookhan admitted she tampered with evidence and tested only a fraction of the samples she claimed to test while working at the lab. Dookhan is now serving a prison sentence of up to five years after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice and other charges.
The scandal threw the state's legal system into turmoil as the courts were flooded with requests for new trials and dismissal of charges in cases where Dookhan had tested substances turned over to the lab by local police departments.
In a report released Tuesday, Massachusetts Inspector General Glenn Cunha said his 15-month investigation found no evidence that any other chemists at the lab committed wrongdoing. But he said management failures by lab directors "contributed to Dookhan's ability to commit her acts of malfeasance."
"The directors were ill-suited to oversee a forensic drug lab, provided almost no supervision, were habitually unresponsive to chemists' complaints and suspicions, and severely downplayed Dookhan's major breach in chain-of-custody protocol upon discovering it," the report said.
The scandal led to the resignation of state public health Commissioner John Auerbach, the resignation of a manager at the lab and the firing of another manager. The drug lab was located within the Hinton State Laboratory Institute in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston.
"What was plain well before the Annie Dookhan issue arose is that forensic work should not have been done at the Hinton facility. It should have been done at a crime lab," Gov. Deval Patrick said after release of the report.
Cunha's report said Auerbach and his staff "failed to respond appropriately" and conducted only a narrow investigation after receiving a report about Dookhan failing to follow protocols. It was only after state police took over the lab months later that the extent of Dookhan's misconduct was discovered.
Auerbach did not immediately return messages seeking comment on the report.
Cunha's report said the lab failed to provide potentially exculpatory evidence in criminal cases by not disclosing information about additional, inconsistent testing results. He said his office is now retesting approximately 2,300 drug samples to determine whether the results were accurate.
Cunha also found that the lab lacked formal and uniform protocols for many of its basic operations, including testing methods, caused in part by its lack of accreditation. His investigation also concluded that the lab's quality control system focused mainly on the functionality of the lab's equipment and was ineffective in detecting malfeasance, incompetence and inaccurate results.
Cunha said lab managers did not act decisively when other workers at the lab questioned Dookhan's work after it became clear she was handling a much higher volume of cases than any other chemist.
"Let's be clear, Dookhan's behavior did not go unnoticed," he said during a news conference. "Those complaints fell on deaf ears."

Searching for An Attorney Who Will certainly Be Effective
Do you recognize just what you're doing when looking for a lawyer? There are a lot of choices to pick from, as well as you would like to make the right choices. In order to discover even more regarding how you can do this, proceed book, and you will certainly be glad that you did. The ideal attorney for your demands is not far away in any way.
Never ever hesitate to ask your legal representative concerning any type of component of the costs you do not comprehend. Dig up further on a related use with by visiting what-does-a-personal-injury-lawyer-do. There are lots of people that have concerns from the costs they are asked for by an attorney, yet several of them do not state anything. There is a chance that you could do a few of the job on your own and conserve a little, so see to it to ask about that.
Picture taking on a lawyer which will get in court for the first time. That's what will certainly occur if you take a basic attorney right into a case where a specializing attorney is a far better wager. Ask any sort of lawyer you to know for their recommendations, and also you'll be pleased with the outcome.
See to it the attorney you are employing is fit for your requirements. Like doctor, legal representatives can be general practitioners or committed professionals. Know what basic legal area your case is in, and slim your hunt for an attorney within that specialization to find someone from concentrated training and experience.
A great idea to keep in mind when employing an attorney is to keep track of all the bills relating to your attorney. You don't would like to be captured off-guard when it comes time to paying for everything. You could additionally consult with your legal representative if there's something that doesn't build up.
When you employ an attorney for a lawsuit case, work with one that will take your instance on a contingency fee. If a legal representative is not going to take your instance on contingency, consider seeking a different one. If a lawyer wishes to charge your hourly for this kind of case, after that he assumes he can not victory.
Cash is an issue for many individuals nowadays, and the idea of paying for high legal fees could really feel downright distressing! Ask your attorney if they could take into consideration enabling you to pay off your fees with a layaway plan; it's feasible that this could be an alternative for you.
Most lawyers demand for their services by the hour, but hiring one with a reduced hourly rates does not imply your total price will be much less. We learned about compensation law critique by searching Google. If your lawyer requires two hours to finish a task that other attorney can complete in an hour, you will pay a lot more in the future.
You will save time and also cash if you prepare your documentation and also do some research just before you initially meet your attorney. Your lawyer could offer a much better price quote, in addition to, get your instance going much more efficiently. The more detail oriented and efficient you can be, the more affordable you can acquire your lawful concerns resolved.

Ready a few questions for your very first conference with the lawyers you are thinking about working with. Intend on asking inquiries concerning their encounter and results and ask a lot of questions on just what they think about your situation. Do not trust an attorney who appears extremely certain in their ability to victory your case prior to you even provide them all the details.
Always satisfy a lawyer just before hiring them. For a different viewpoint, consider taking a view at: consumers. You must schedule a personally conference, to ensure that you can obtain a far better sense of the attorney's professionalism and trust as well as behavior. Hiring an attorney you have not fulfilled personally is not a smart idea. It is essential to know whether you will certainly be compatible with your lawyer.
Prevent lawyers who definitely seek your company. Consider it a warning if a lawyer solicits you after a mishap without you having actually shared any type of passion. These "ambulance chasers" often have questionable commercial property principles, so it is most ideal to avoid them. A great lawyer will have clients seeking their help, and doesn't should resort to this type of behavior.
Recommendations from your close friends is just one of the most trusted techniques to find an excellent attorney. Your close friend's good experience will certainly tell you that this attorney follows through as well as has a polite and proficient fashion and also a professional team.
When you are trying to work with an attorney for your case, do not wait to inquire for some recommendations. You need to speak with 2 or 3 people that can give you a great idea of what to anticipate. You must employ somebody else if they offer you a hard time about providing recommendations.
If you are concerned regarding your financial resources, check out legal aid. Workplaces of legal aid can advise attorneys who will certainly offer "pro bono" services. These particular legal representatives like volunteering a few of their spare time. You can usually locate legal help offices detailed in the white web pages.
Since you've read this post, you need to have the ability to leave there and also protect the very best attorney for your demands. Maintain just what you have actually found out in mind as you start your search, and also you will undoubtedly discover just what you're searching for. You wish to deal with your instance, and also the ideal attorney can do that for you..

Discover New Ways to Use Cornstarch
Dry shampoo
Fido needs a bath, but you just don't have time. Rub cornstarch into his coat and brush it out. The dry bath will fluff up his coat until it's tub time.
Untangle knots
Knots in string or shoelaces can be stubborn to undo, but the solution is easy. Sprinkle the knot with a little cornstarch. It will then be easy to work the segments apart.
Soak up furniture polish residue
You've finished polishing your furniture, but there's still a bit left on the surface. Sprinkle cornstarch lightly on furniture after polishing. Wipe up the oil and cornstarch, then buff the surface.
Remove ink stains from carpet
Oh no, ink on the carpet! In this case a little spilt milk might save you from crying. Mix the milk with cornstarch to make a paste. Apply the paste to the ink stain. Allow the concoction to dry on the carpet for a few hours, then brush off the dried residue and vacuum it up.
Give carpets a fresh scent
Before vacuuming a room, sprinkle a little cornstarch on your carpeting. Wait about half an hour and then vacuum normally.
Make your own paste
The next time the kids want to go wild with construction paper and paste, save money by making the paste yourself. Mix 3 teaspoons corn-starch for every 4 teaspoons cold water. Stir until you reach a paste consistency. This is especially great for applying with fingers or a wooden tongue depressor or Popsicle stick. If you add food coloring, the paste can be used for painting objects.
Make finger paints
This simple recipe will keep the kids happy for hours. Mix together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until the mixture becomes thick. Pour your product into several small containers and add food coloring to each container. You've created a collection of homemade finger paints.
Clean stuffed animals
To clean a stuffed animal toy, rub a little cornstarch onto the toy, wait about 5 minutes, and then brush it clean. Or place the stuffed animal (or a few small ones) into a bag. Sprinkle cornstarch into the bag, close it tightly, and shake. Now brush the pretend pets clean.
Lift a scorch mark from clothing
You moved the iron a little too slowly and now you have a scorch mark on your favorite shirt. Wet the scorched area and cover it with cornstarch. Let the cornstarch dry, then brush it away along with the scorch mark.
Remove grease spatters from walls
Even the most careful cook cannot avoid an occasional spatter. A busy kitchen takes some wear and tear but here's a handy remedy for that unsightly grease spot. Sprinkle cornstarch onto a soft cloth. Rub the grease spot gently until it disappears.
Get rid of bloodstains
The quicker you act, the better. Whether it's on clothing or table linens, you can remove or reduce a bloodstain with this method. Make a paste of cornstarch mixed with cold water. Cover the spot with the cornstarch paste and rub it gently into the fabric. Now put the cloth in a sunny location to dry. Once dry, brush off the remaining residue. If the stain is not completely gone, repeat the process.
Polish silver
Is the sparkle gone from your good silverware? Make a simple paste by mixing cornstarch with water. Use a damp cloth to apply this to your silver-ware. Let it dry, then rub it off with cheesecloth or another soft cloth to reveal that old shine.
Make windows sparkle
Create your own streak-free window cleaning solution by mixing 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/2 cup ammonia and 1/2 cup white vinegar in a bucket containing 3-4 quarts (3-4 liters) warm water. Don't be put off by the milky concoction you create. Mix well and put the solution in a trigger spray bottle. Spray on the windows, then wipe with a warm-water rinse. Now rub with a dry paper towel or lint-free cloth. Voilá!
Say good riddance to roaches
There's no delicate way to manage this problem. Make a mixture that is 50 percent plaster of Paris and 50 percent cornstarch. Spread this in the crevices where roaches appear. It's a killer recipe.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.

Jimmy Shergill hits the jackpot
Subscribe to Filmibeat
After 11 flops in a row, any leading man would have contemplated calling it quits. But not Jimmy Shergill. Hastey Hastey, Strangers, Dus Kahaniyaan, Choddon Naa Yaar, Victoria No. 203, Raqeeb, Delhii Heights, Eklavya-The Royal Guard, Rehguzar, Bas Ek Pal, Yun Hota To Kya Hota - It was a rather agonizing list of box office failures for Jimmy Shergill, in spite of the fact that he always stood out for his performances. Especially in films like Strangers, Eklavya-The Royal Guard and Bas Ek Pal, Jimmy was singled out by one and all. However, Lady Luck still was nowhere in sight even as Jimmy continued to wait for it to knock his doors.
Finally, the call came in the form of A Wednesday which had a first time director Neeraj Pandey at it's helm. Add to it an unconventional theme, shoe string budget and a role which wasn't central to the film's plot. Still, in his heart Jimmy was aware that this would be the movie which would strike gold. Even as the film was ready for close to a year, Jimmy continued to be excited about it's release and the ecstasy was clearly visible once it went on to hit the bull's eye.
"It was great to be acknowledged so far for your performances but then box office is an important aspect as well. I was fetching great reviews; in fact after Yahaan, the film which got me some unanimously good reviews was A Wednesday. This is why the film becomes even more important as it has turned out to be a huge success," says Jimmy who has now promised himself that it would only be selective projects from here on.
"That's true, I have reached this stage after a while and don't want to loose it with any wrong step from here on. Each of the projects which I do from here on has to be extra special now; nothing frivolous would do," declares Jimmy.
Jimmy's next big project is Johny Mastana which unites him with his Yahaan director Shoojit Sircar. He is seen along with Amitabh Bachchan, Sarika and Diya Mirza in the film.
"Shoojit is a man who has sensibilities of his own. He belongs to a completely different breed of directors, something which was apparent in Yahaan as well. Even with Johny Mastana, he has surpassed all expectations. We all are eagerly waiting for March 2009 when the movie will hit the screens," signs off Jimmy.

Detective constables share their experiences in helping domestic abuse victims
27 November 2015
Domestic abuse detectives share their experiences and passion for the job following this week's White Ribbon day.
Detectives Denisa Andronic and Jon Godfrey share a common goal - protecting the public and making a real difference to the lives of domestic abuse victims. Both are based at Hillingdon Community Safety Unit which has overseen approximately 847 domestic related investigations in the last 12 months - all of which have resulted in physical injury.
"If they have been assaulted by a person who they love, their world is understandably falling apart"
Denisa Said, "It's my job to look at the ins and outs of a case and to fully research the circumstances, the history and motive. From the word go, I make sure I gain full trust from victims and ensure I provide them with extra TLC which is so vital when they are vulnerable and emotional. If they have been assaulted by a person who they love, their world is understandably falling apart, and this is something which we, as police officers must never forget. I believe that providing strong initial support to victims of domestic abuse is paramount to the outcome of the investigation and will prove fruitful at court."
Recently Denisa has recently worked on an investigation which began as a missing persons enquiry and then rapidly developed into a case of honour based violence.
Denisa explains: "There was an early indication that the woman in this case was at risk of harm and we knew this from concerns raised by those who were close to her. Our detailed yet sensitive enquiry established that she was in line for an honour based forced marriage in the Middle East. Despite the fact that she had left the UK, we immediately used this information to secure a Forced Marriage Protection Order with the assistance of our partner agencies. This ultimately provided her with complete safety and confidence return to the UK. She has since been provided with continual support in moving forward with her life and has made the new start which she deserves."
Denisa continues: "Sometimes the range and complexity of a case can be a hurdle, but for me the main challenge comes when I'm making every effort keep victim's safe, even when they invite the perpetrator back into their life. It can be a real struggle to make them realise how much they are putting themselves at risk by remaining in a potentially violent relationship. In many cases relationships involve very young children who witness violence and these acts will inevitable leave them traumatised for life. We always seek opportunities remind communities about the devastation which domestic abuse can leave in a home environment and we continually working together with Social Services to identify those at risk to protect families and young people."
Earlier this year Jon Godfrey oversaw an investigation which led to a man being jailed for three years in a domestic incident during which a man was violently assaulted in front of his wife, who was eight month pregnant at the time.
Jon said: "On occasions we do encounter challenges especially when witnesses do not want to provide evidence at court. Perhaps it's seen as protecting their loved ones, or their family respect, but the sad fact is that this silence can sadly instigate further emotional and physical damage. In the recent case I worked on, a man was violently assaulted with a metal pole, causing head injuries. Despite minimal evidence from witnesses and victims at court, we were able to secure a three year jail term for the offender. This demonstrates that domestic abuse violence to this degree even without victim or witness participation cannot be ignored by the courts."
Both Jon and Denisa both recognise the importance in reaching out to the community in educating and presenting the facts surrounding domestic abuse and what support is available.
Jon continues: "The Police and partnership agencies take all forms of Domestic Abuse extremely seriously. The safety victims is always paramount and we have a number of processes in place to ensure that we provide the very best service and support to those who come to our attention. We work in partnership with IDVA service (Independent Domestic Violence Advocate) who offer on going support and advice to victims of Domestic Abuse. Victims are always offered this service to ensure that the right safety measures are put in place, and to help them move on in life with confidence in themselves and everything they do."
In a direct message to anybody who has been affected by the devastating effect of domestic abuse, and has not yet had the courage to come forward to inform the police, Denisa said:
"As hard as it may be sometimes living in an abusive environment where little support is found outside, think of how your life could be as a happy and free person. Nobody deserves to answer to a controlling and violent partner. We have overseen a number of successful prosecutions relating to victims that had suffered years and years of abuse at the hands of their partners but the circumstances made it difficult for them to report it. There is a great deal of support and safeguarding that is available, you simply must say STOP! From today no more! Pick up that phone or walk into a Police Station and do it - but if you can't do that first step, confide in someone, be it your GP or best friend. Report it online and we will do a follow up appointment where plain clothes officers can see you somewhere in confidence."
To talk to a member of the Community Safety Unit about an issue which is affecting you, please contact 020 8246 1570 or 020 8246 1498.

Errors Wealth Management Advisors Make When Moving
Moving is difficult, but what is more demanding is when the move impacts areas that it must not. This can include a moving of your home or office, whether it is across town, across the world, or merely to a new company.This is why when wealth managers meet a finance market employer they are advised to make sure the move is as smooth as possible, indicating that clientels comprehend exactly what is happening ahead of time, are kept abreast with a quick note during the procedure, and that they do not get any negative surprises in the process.This uses to the financial consultant who moves from one company to another, as well as to a wealth supervisor who chooses to convert his focus to taking care of household workplaces.
Error # 1: Announcing a Move Before it is Final
One advisor who is a client of ours was all set to move from his existing firm - a large bank - into a leadership function at a private equity firm. He succeeded in all of the interviews, made a fantastic impression, and had just accepted his employment package. Mentally, he was gone.The firm was going to have him begin at the start of the year - 2 months away. When December came he gave proper notification to his supervisor then started to speak freely about the transfer to clients. It was that week that firm fell under examination for securities fraud and later closed down.It made him look extremely foolish, and clientels could not help however question his judgment.
Mistake # 2: Not Announcing the Move When it is Final
Another person we know was able to make an extremely successful move. He had actually failed to communicate the change to his customers. When they got statements the only thing they could conclude was that something was incorrect. After all, they always banked with ABC, not XYZ.It all wound up being okay, but it was a lesson in customer care that wouldn't be forgotten.
Error # 3: Losing Sight of Customer Service
Moving takes a great deal of time and energy, so it is easy to understand that one might discover him or herself in a whirlwind, but for customers who feel as though they have actually lost access to you, they might wonder why they are with you, particularly if they get bogged down in the everyday variations of the marketplace.A simple way to solve this prior to it takes place is making sure that clients receive your brand-new contact information. This ought to be done by email and through the mail. For those who have 100 clients or less, it would be an excellent idea to reach out by phone to each of them over the course of a week. The calls will take simply a minute or 2 for the most part, however it's also an amazing chance to obtain to understand them better to solidify the relationship.Wealth managers can do just about anything as soon as they have earned their stripes. The abilities included with managing wealth also consist of handling relationships, which is exactly what everything is built upon.

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help me with following issues:
1. When I change ringtone, volume vibration and LED settings (on or off) on one of the profiles, it automatically changes on the other profiles as well. I simply cannot set different ringtones and other settings
for different profiles, which is really odd.
2. When I'm customizing contact, there is no "silent" mode for the phone or for the messages.
Hey ssarkissov,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Changes that are made to notifications are globally to all all modes, each mode can not be customized. Currently when customizing a contact you cannot set the volume for this contact to silent.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. Are you planning to make changes to fix these problems? It doesn't make sence to have different profiles, if there is no possibility to customize them. Same applys to customizing single contact.

The last freelancer I asked to complete this project went against my wishes and developed a website based on the Croogo content management system. Consequently I am having to repost this project in the hope that the new developer will understand my requirements.
I cannot emphasise enough that this system needs to be developed from scratch and should be as small and simple as possible.
Although I'm no expert, I am assuming in the MySQL database there should be around 4 tables:

Phil leads the teams on bicycles to the starting line in California Wine Country. They are "married clowns" Dave and Cherie, dirt-poor Kentuckians Bopper and Mark; golfing sisters Misa and Maiya; Brendon and Rachel, whom I've already been hating for a year and a half on Big Brother but who are already getting a head start on earning the enmity of a whole new audience; proud self-described Guidos Joey "Fitness" (seriously) and Danny; Feds Nary (not a typo) and Jamie; Army couple Rachel and Dave; twins Elliot and Andrew, who are considerate enough to have different hair for once; southern cousins Kerri and Stacy; dating couple and mutual home-wreckers Vanessa and Ralph; and border patrol agents Art and J.J.
The racers start out by searching for clues hanging from balloons, which tell them to fly to Santa Barbara (that's Santa Barbara, Argentina, according to the lengthy instructions provided by Phil on the video screen of the product-placed cars they drive to LAX). Misa and Maiya take almost two hours finding their clue, but everyone makes it to Salta, Argentina via Buenos Aires, from whence they must drive into the small town of Santa Barbara. The teams are soon spread out by being on separate flights hours apart, and last-place Cherie quickly gives me the first opportunity to make a "sad clown" joke.
The front of the pack soon arrives at a regional airport, where a Road Block switcheroo requires one racer from each team to find their partner — who will be tandem-jumping out of an airplane. As it turns out, the finding isn't hard at all, because everyone lands in the same spot. Art and JJ leave that task in the lead, with the two Rachel teams close behind. Then the teams have to go to a plaza to make ten dozen empanadas, in just the right way. In the back of the pack, Maiya drives her car off the road in the wrong spot and gets stuck in the sand, Joey Fitness demonstrates that he's unfit to drive stick, and Stacy is this season's first idiot who doesn't realize that The Amazing Race tends to have altitude-based challenges. But of course all of these subplots reach inspirational conclusions.

Cavemoms answer to Cavedudes
request for a dance
God she really turns me on.
Too bad he's drunk he has a nice ass.
And he is kinda cute in a crude sort
of way.
I'm drunk again
Blew my chance
Couldn't even stand
to dance
Staggered home all alone
I Guess I should give up the booze
At the bar's no place to snooze
Guess I really turned her off
When I threw up on her shoes
Made a fool in the room
When I cleaned them with a broom
Tore her stockings and her shoes
All because of too much booze
He collapses on the bed
Wishing he was getting head
Dreams of her and her shoes
That's really all that he can do

haha! I am glad you wrote this that way. I can't wait to see where it goes.
Ah bugger. If only he were a little more drunk, he could start blaming her, not himself!
Well written my good man. Although maybe he didn't need to throw up on her shoes? I already had the point. Actually- I really liked the Booze, and Snooze rhyme.
Good stuff. Take some time away and come back with more.
I'm intending to break my original plan and post another piece tomorrow. Hope you enjoy it.
Nice piece. My kind of humor.

Purdue reports greatest annual increase in research funding
A demonstration of the PICS storage bag is presented to a women's group in Kenya in March 2014. The work is part of a project to help countries in sub-Saharan Africa reduce food waste and improve processing and marketing of key crops. (Purdue International Programs in Agriculture photo/Dieudonné Baributsa)
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University is reporting its second-best year for external research funding and its largest annual dollar increase.
Research awards for fiscal year 2014, which ended June 30, totaled $389 million, an increase of nearly $70 million – close to 22 percent - over 2013. The total funding for 2014 climbs to $390 million when including the one-time stimulus awards from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Purdue's top year, without factoring in ARRA funds, was $396 million in 2010-11.
"It is due to the brilliant and diverse array of researchers at Purdue that we win these awards," said Purdue President Mitch Daniels. "Our faculty are making vast impact with their discoveries, and it is our duty to support them with fast and effective pre- and post-award activities."
In the previous fiscal year, 3,767 awards were received compared with 4,104 this year. Among the awards received were:
* $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, to develop a method to mass-produce a new type of nanomaterial for advanced sensors and batteries, with an eye toward manufacturing in the Midwest.
* $2.4 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., to the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) to continue to improve the lives of members of the military, veterans and their families.
* $5 million, five-year grant from United States Agency for International Development to help countries in sub-Saharan Africa reduce hunger and poverty by reducing food waste and improve processing and marketing of key crops.
Other awarding agencies include the National Science Foundation, Department of Health and Human Services, and the departments of Defense, Agriculture and Energy; state and local governments; the Purdue Research Foundation; and other federal agencies and foreign governments.
The total awards from industry and foundations for this fiscal year remain strong at $98 million, said Suresh Garimella, executive vice president for research and partnerships.
"Research partnerships for our faculty with the private sector and with NGOs and foundations is an area the university will work to enhance, in the U.S. as well as globally," Garimella said. "Purdue faculty, their research teams and university support staff have worked hard to secure these awards, and these efforts will be further strengthened with the university's recent merger of the research and global partnerships offices into one organization. Purdue researchers are focused on achieving excellence in scholarship in a range of important areas, and to ensure global impact."

Move It or Lose It: The Race For Space Leaves Kids' Stuff Behind
In a recent study, we found that parents throw out possessions worth £285 when a child grows up and leaves the family home. The items children most commonly leave behind, and run the risk of losing, are: • Books (64 per cent) • Clothes (60 per cent) • Sentimental items and trinkets (60 per cent) • School memorabilia (56 per cent) Children also leave behind bulkier items, taking up more space, such as: • Sports equipment (27 per cent) • Furniture (27 per cent) • Bikes (21 per cent) The, some would say, callous clear out takes place as parents look to make the most of the extra space left behind, with parents waiting an average of six months before sorting out their child's room. An eager 15 per cent of parents wait less than two weeks to start the […]Read more »
