'I am spending too much, to the point where I am waking up at night worrying about my credit-card debt. What can I do?' H.
Step 1: Avoidance strategies that work during the day by distracting us often fail when we are asleep and vulnerable to our ruminations and concerns. Consolidate your debts in the most cost-effective way by contacting the National Debt helpline on 0800 988 4140 for advice. Now cut up your credit cards. This will appear alarming but as soon as you have done so, you will be flooded with relief, as you will be regaining control. Living within our means as best we can is always comforting.
Step 2: Take time to reflect on what void you are attempting to fill in your life by overspending. You might have a need for more intimate contact with people, to be taken notice of, or to be reassured that you are not alone. We often spend to gain a sense of belonging, to seek recognition that we are indeed "somebody" or as a way of attempting superficially to nurture ourselves. Think also of your experience as a child. Was being bought things a way of feeling cared for by your parents? Were you neglected emotionally but given things as compensation? Think about whether your emotional needs as an adult are being met, not just by others, but more importantly by yourself.
Step 3: Spending creates the illusion of control, although this rapidly diminishes once we have left with our purchases. The ensuing unmanageable feelings are then assuaged by another "treat" and a habitual negative spiral is created. Explore the art of restraint. Wanting and needing are two very different things, yet we often tell ourselves we need something new when in fact the need is emotional rather than material. Do not be afraid to take your impulse buys back: it will give you a greater sense of mastery and control. Ask yourself, "Why did I buy this, do I really need it, can I live without it?" Most of us have too many things and we can gain lasting freedom from the hedonistic treadmill by editing our purchasing. By acknowledging the emotional reality of our spending habits, we no longer have to perpetuate self-sabotaging over-consumption and can take pleasure and satisfaction in what we already have.

Youth Law Day (YLD) is a program sponsored by the New York State Bar Association's Committee on Diversity and Inclusion and administered by its Youth Law Day Subcommittee. The goal of the program is to provide high school students with a sense of the law school experience, and to reduce the mystery or sense of unattainability that might be associated with it. Typically, the centerpiece is an interactive classroom experience led by law school faculty. Nearly 80 high school students from the Capital District YMCA, Glenmont Job Corps and guests from the Albany Law School Community will spend the day with us exploring the possibility of a legal profession.
Since 2006, all of New York's 15 law schools have opened their doors to high school and elementary school students in their communities. The goal of the program is to help high school students envision law school as a realistic opportunity.
Special thanks to the Admissions Office; Professors: Gerald Rock and Sarah Rogerson; and all of our presenters, student participants and volunteers. Continue reading

The Time Machine
What a discovery. While online recently, checking out the latest weather conditions up North, I inadvertently stumbled upon a way to actually get a look across time & into the future by harnessing the computing power of the Internet. To demonstrate this amazing & groundbreaking new technology, let's use EB Worcester skater Jared Nylen as an example, and take a look at how he will hold up after 20 more years of Wonton soup, Dunkin' Donuts and hard living... -TEO

Banana Bonanza
I feel like bananas are hot right now. They're the new in thing. Like 80's style sunglasses or "going green" .Bananas must have hired a publicist or something. I don't like to be left out when it comes to trends so I'm jumping on the banana bandwagon.
Check out my skate banana made with real banana inspired technology. It has a super small carbon footprint! Actually its toxic as hell, but I bought tons of carbon credits to make up for it so its ok. If you skate this thing with frogskins on, your as style n' as it gets . -SPK
Don't forget "low carbon footprint"
TC understands, its all going bananas

1st day @ Killington
This past monday I went to Killington with my friend Manny. Though conditions were suprisingly good. If you can handle the $60 and the 3 hour drive I suggest going. As always they had the mini park going with the signature right handed hip. After that you had an option of an up flat bar or a 20 foot kicker. After that it was a box option, and then a 3 rail option into either a propaine tank or wall ride. At the end of the day we went to pizza jerks for the lunch special and then were off. -Bryan B.

Pterodactyl Scoot Says "Put the dinosaur down"
Wednesday, November 21, 2007
07' so far has been a big year for skate videos and habitat's new INHABITANTS is definetly one worth grabbing. New pro Silas Baxter Neil starts things off with a solid part, style for days and wallride hippyjumps. Danny Garcia has been around forever and managed to put down his acustic guitar long enough to film a part proving hes still got one of the best styles in the biz. Fred gall is as urban as ever and doesent disappoint. Guru Khalsa keeps his hair tight in competition worthy buns at all times. If u havent heard of Austyn Gillette before were in the same boat but hes got a bangin' part. Steve Durrante switch heel front blunt, nuff' said. Tim O' Connor has the most ridiculous tricks ever and shares a part with Ed Selego and there both keepin these young guns on thier toes. Raymond Molinar is really good at skating,flip in-flip out, now hes pro, well deserved. Kerry Getz is still a robot and opens his part with some refreshing mini-ramp footy that all of us never get sick of for some reason. And if you think you got your fill of Stefan Janoski from nothing but the truth then you are epic'ly mistaken compadre.

File This Under "Abrasive"
Well it's finally happened, the Worcester shop's trusty & time-worn old griptape file has now officially been retired. In the 15 years that EB Worcester has been open, it was only the second griptape file to be used down here. It had been in constant use at the shop every day, gripping board after board for something like 10 years. That file has been involved in skateboarding for longer than many of you reading this! Who knows how many thousands of boards it has been used to setup over its' long and illustrious "career". In that time it has gone from a new shiny file to something that more resembles some sort of warn down, prisonyard weapon. As you can see, time has clearly taken its' toll on it. Whenever someone was in the shop complaining about how their new skate shoes had gotten a hole in them after only a month or 2 of use, I always liked to bust out the file to show to them. "If griptape can do this to a steel file, well then it's no wonder that it's going to put some wear on your shoes... now check out some Shoe Goo." Anyway, file #3 is now officially on duty in Worcester, and here's hoping that we get as much use out of it as we did from the one that it is replacing... -TEO

It's not THAT cold out yet
Well it's now the middle of November, and I am happy to say that I am STILL rocking the shorts & flip-flops. Yes the streak is still alive (except for 1 day there when it was like 30 degrees out or something). And I plan on sticking with it until the snow starts falling. Some people ask why I am rocking the flops, since you can't even skate in them. Well to those people, I would like to say 2 things:
1) My ACL is still messed up in my knee, so I won't be doing much skating 'til that gets fixed anyway
2) Who says you can't skate in flip-flops? Check out this shot from ForTheKrew Magazine of Benji Galloway from the Kona Skatepark 30th Birthday Party... -TEO

Car Jumps Are Cool
If you dug Ken Block's snowboard park DC rally car jump, you are sure to dig this one. Take a 1970's pimp-mobile Lincoln, paint it bright yellow, add on some little wings, attatch a huge jet engine to the back and attempt to launch it off of what looks like a giant car-sized mega ramp over a river. Oh yeah, you know that's going to turn out bad...
Watch that thing pretty much disintegrate on takeoff!!

Antony's Rome (Imperator Augustus) Construction Tier 1
Tax Labour
Taxes must be paid, in coin, in kind or in simple, brute labour.Taxation becomes futile when a populace are too poor to pay taxes. At such times in the ancient world, the poor were forced to work unpaid to help complete civil projects. Such measures were common practice at the time; in Egypt the Pharaoh would be merciless in the taxation of his subjects. Peasants were expected to work several days a month to help maintain roads and canals and to lend their muscle to construction and mining. Some governments could be strict in the extreme when imposing tax labour: in Babylonia, failure to fulfil labour obligations would see a man forfeit his lands.

CC Ādi 10.13
yāṅra ghare devī-bhāve nācilā īśvara
Dramatic performances were enacted during the presence of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, but the players who took part in such dramas were all pure devotees; no outsiders were allowed. The members of ISKCON should follow this example. Whenever they stage dramatic performances about the lives of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu or Lord Kṛṣṇa, the players must be pure devotees. Professional players and dramatic actors have no sense of devotional service, and therefore although they can perform very artistically, there is no life in such performances. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura used to refer to such an actor as yātrā-dale nārada, which means "farcical Nārada." Sometimes an actor in a drama plays the part of Nārada Muni, although in his private life he is not at all like Nārada Muni because he is not a devotee. Such actors are not needed in dramatic performances about the lives of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu used to perform dramas with Advaita Prabhu, Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura and other devotees in the house of Candraśekhara. The place where Candraśekhara's house was situated is now known as Vrajapattana. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura established the Śrī Caitanya Maṭha at this place. When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu decided to accept the renounced order of life, Candraśekhara Ācārya was informed of this by Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, and therefore he was present when Lord Caitanya accepted sannyāsa from Keśava Bhāratī in Katwa. It is he who first spread the word in Navadvīpa of Lord Caitanya's accepting sannyāsa. Śrī Candraśekhara Ācārya was present during many important incidents in the pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He therefore forms the second branch of the tree of Lord Caitanya.

The Ceramics of MAEDA MasahiroColorful Overglaze Enamel and Silver WorksMay 20, 2011 - July 16, 2011
Opening Reception: May 19 5-8pm
One fascinating aspect of MAEDA's work is that despite participating in the Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition, that has been held for over 50 years, he continues to go his own way, breaking down the divisions that exist between craft and art. He has also produced a totally new form of the Tea Ceremony through the creation of utensils, such as tea bowls and water jars, earning a reputation as one of the most noteworthy contemporary artists to work within the rigidly conventional world of Japanese traditional crafts. |

I wanted to find a good resource for was sewing. Although I know how to sew, I am a learned teacher, not a natural teacher. I need books that will give me good directions that both me and my kids can read. I need things to be simple. I don't have a lot of time for prep in my life right now. I like good, clear, and simple illustrations.
Surprisingly, I found all of those things in this book! There is an introductory section for parents about how to teach sewing and how to approach the endeavor. Then, there are the basics of knots and hand sewing stitches. The pictures are simple and the directions below the pictures are concise and clear. From there, the book includes directions on how to make 21 sewing projects.
I wondered what these projects would be like. I was wonderfully surprised at what I found. Patterns and stuffing are introduced. Projects range from simple to more complex. There is even one for making a skirt using a sewing machine--on the most basic level! Honestly, that was just what I wanted. I was looking for a book that primarily focused on hand sewing with a little machine sewing towards the end so that I can introduce the kids to my sewing machine when it's time. The projects in this book are wonderful ideas for gifts that my girls will be able to make for others come next Christmas. I think the best age range for this book is 5-12 year olds. 5 years old may be a little young for this book, but if you take it slow, have patience and a needle threader, I think you'll be in good shape. 12 may seem a little old for this book, but if someone was starting off sewing that has never sewn before, I would start them with just these projects. The directions are clear and simple--and that's helpful no matter how old you are!
The authors obviously know what they're talking about. They run a summer camp for elementary age children in Tennessee every year to teach them how to sew. So, these projects have been tested and made over and over. These authors are writing with experience! Every so often I find authors who pretend to be people they're not or write about things that they have only a little experience in. That's not the case with these two! I am impressed. This book has made me really look forward to sewing with my girls and now I just can't wait to introduce my girls to sewing!
We just so happened to get them new shoes this weekend and the boxes are just the perfect size to become their new sewing boxes. So, I'm off to cover them with paper...
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this book for review from Storey Publishing.
I taught my 6 year old granddaughter and my 12 year old neice to sew. These skills can be used their whold life. The book gives rules for the children and for you in dealing with children. The book is full of pictures and includes patterns.
I sent this book to my granddaughter because she is crazy about sewing. When I saw it in the library, I saw that 6 year olds were in the camp and being successful. It is written with excellent instuctions and the best safety training. I love the fact that they show the work of the children, so that a child can see how it looks and that not being perfect at their age is OK. These authors know what they are doing and have provided a wonderful book to use as a guideline, or as I used it, to send to get her started.
My daughter who is in 1st grade loved this book so much. I highly recommend it. Not too hard or too easy, and it comes with patterns ready to cut out and try right away. It helps if you also have an adult ready to help with a sewing machine, but there are a lot of patterns that work with hand-sewing as well. I would suggest buying about a yard of fabric, some felt, thread, and a small sewing kit to give along with the book. They will be excited to get started right away once they start reading!

CHINA — Work has begun to dismantle and demolish an aging mill straddling the dividing line between Palermo and China, an effort that a conservation group says ultimately will result in drawing a robust migration of river herring and alewives.
Once the mill is down, the Atlantic Salmon Federation will move forward with a purchasing agreement for the property and the remaining dam. The federation plans to repair the dam and install a passageway that will allow migratory fish to travel through the Sheepscot River watershed to Branch Pond.
The owners of Branch Pond Mill, Stephen and Christine Coombs, are in the process of clearing out the 200-year-old mill and salvaging historic pieces, said Andrew Goode, vice president of U.S. operations for the Atlantic Salmon Federation.
Goode said Tuesday that he expects the mill will be taken down by a demolition company sometime this month.
The federation plans to install a new water control gate system in the dam, which is needed badly, and then the fish passageway.
The acquisition of the dam is one part of the federation's many efforts to restore "connectivity" in the Sheepscot watershed. Branch Pond is the headwaters of the west branch of the Sheepscot River, a key element in the Maine Headwaters Project, which has restored access to more than 500 river miles in the state.
"The species that would benefit the most are river herring and alewives," Goode said. "Historically, it was believed that was one of the spawning ponds for alewives."
The federation takes a "watershed restoration approach" to its project instead of focusing singularly on salmon, he said.
It also plans to create permanent public access to the pond, which residents now lack, Goode said.
Construction of the passageway probably will begin in 2018 or 2019, he said.
The mill and dam are off Branch Mills Road, a spur off Route 3, in South China. The old mill building has been called a safety hazard by the Maine Emergency Management Agency and the town of China for years.
"The water control system is in very poor condition," Goode said.
The dam was listed as a "significant potential hazard" in 2014 in a report from the state dam inspector. An update from the inspector to the state on Jan. 31 this year said a sluice gate at the dam was overflowing about 6 inches.
Mark Hyland, director of operations for MEMA, said the Coombses appear to be working on the mill now, dismantling and removing historically significant elements of it, and the state is looking forward to the result.
"At this point, we think it's a great opportunity," Hyland said about the federation's purchase of the site. "We'd like to get an owner of the dam that is nearby and monitoring the dam. We welcome the Atlantic Salmon Federation's participation in that."
The Coombses, who specialize in historic restoration, bought the property in 2003, hoping to restore both the dam and the mill as a historical site and education center.
The plan came to a standstill when the couple said they couldn't make the necessary repairs because of a state-mandated water level order. However, the state denied the claims, saying the water order allows dam owners to get written permission to draw down levels for repairs.
Eventually the couple and the state emergency agency signed a consent agreement last spring that allowed the Coombses to adjust the water level for up to seven months to make repairs.
In August, the federation and the Coombses began working on an agreement in which the federation would buy the site once the couple took down the mill.

Two strokes back of the leaders are two teams tied at 7-under-par 65: Jack Hall of Sea Island and Danny Nelson of Savannah, and Walter Hagan III and Scott Weeks, both of Savannah. Hall and Nelson teamed up to win the Georgia Four-Ball Championship in 2005 when it was held at Georgia National Golf Club in McDonough.
The defending champions, Jason Fober of Fortson and Cason Hammock of Columbus, finished round one at even-par 72.
The Georgia Four-Ball Championship was open to two-man teams of male amateur golfers. The field consists of 80 teams with the lowest USGA Handicap Indexes and the format is 54 holes of four-ball stroke play. The field will be cut to the low 40 teams and ties after 36 holes.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood is coming to Detroit on Monday and the city's most prominent business leaders have their fingers crossed that he'll deliver the federal government's blessing on a long-awaited light rail project downtown.
The project, funded mostly by private donors including billionaires Dan Gilbert and Mike Ilitch, looked dead earlier this year when it became clear the city of Detroit was too broken to carry forward the more ambitious plan it envisioned. The Federal Transit Administration concluded the $500 million project wasn't feasible and Lahood reallocated a $25 million federal grant he had promised to a less-expensive bus rapid transit system instead.
But the M-1 Rail Consortium, a group of local business leaders, refused to give up on their vision for a more modest system of electric streetcars operating in the city's core. They asked the government for 90 days to prove their case and raise additional funds to not only build the 3.4-mile rail system but to operate it for the first 10 years too.
"We got them all in a room and said, 'You can't turn your back on this type of private investment'," said Rip Rapson, chief executive of The Kresge Foundation, one of the project's chief backers.
In April, the M-1 group submitted a 1,200-page report detailing their plan, including new contributions from General Motors, Chrysler Group and the Ford Foundation, among others.
"M-1 RAIL and its donors are making this commitment because of our deep pride in the City of Detroit and the region; our abiding optimism for its future; and our conviction that this project will be the catalyst to ignite the reinvestment and growth Detroit so desperately needs."
Originally projected at $100 million, the cost is now pegged at $137 million to include more leeway for cost overruns. Private donors have pledged about $85 million, including $3 million in "naming rights" for each of the 13 planned stations. The Kresge Foundation has pledged $35 million, the largest single donation.
Lahood would be foolish not to take advantage of the business community's commitment to complete the M-1 rail system. Most of what's going right these days in Detroit is because of business leaders like Gilbert, chairman of Quicken Loans; Ilitch, founder of Little Caesar's Pizza, and automotive titan Roger Penske. The city of Detroit, under a state consent decree as an alternative to bankruptcy or an emergency manager, certainly can't make things happen.
LaHood has said the government will consider awarding the light-rail project up to $25 million on top of $25 million allocated to the rapid bus system if he becomes convinced the smaller plan is feasible. But the group's long-term hope is to make the project eligible for larger federal transportation funding over the long-term.
There are still hurdles, however, the largest of which is the absence of a regional transportation authority to run the system. Business leaders say that will happen, eventually. What's clear is that business moves faster than government.

Future BrownWanna Party / World's MineFuture BrownWanna Party / World's Mine12" VINYL SINGLE
POPWARP RECORDS 0009371UPC: 801061937119Release Date: 11/4/2014
Future Brown is the new project from longtime friends Fatima Al Qadiri, Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda of Nguzunguzu, and J-Cush of Lit City Trax. Taking their name from a color that doesn't exist in nature, Future Brown is steeped in diasporic sounds, forming their own signature takes on urban music. Working in unison on every studio production, their mutual love of global beats and vocalist-driven music forms a fabric derived from their myriad influences. Their initial single, "Wanna Party," featured rising Chicago MC Tink and led to a PS1xPitchfork performance at MoMA gallery in NYC. Drawing from their Grime ties in the UK, Future Brown hit up friends Prince Rapid, Dirty Danger of Ruff Sqwad and Roachee (formerly of Roll Deep) to feature on "World's Mine," the first of two tracks with the MCs. Future Brown is currently finishing their debut LP for Warp Records with original vocal collaborations from Tink, Shawnna, 3D Na'tee, Maluca, Riko Dan, Ian Isiah, Kelela, and more to be announced.

Yep the pears are all done, and I think I want to reach out, grab one, and take a big sweet juicy bite! They were so simple, just two pattern pieces - the pear and the stem, but I love them. I need to remind myself that sometimes simplicity talks louder than complexity. And not just in quilting!
Did all you US folk have a good Memorial day? Ours was pretty low key - it involved grocery shopping and our first BBQ/eating outside of the year. And it was hot. As in over 90 degrees hot. Blech. I'll look on the bright side - at least I'm not shoveling snow, right?!
I also Skyped with my parents in New Zealand.
This is my Dad, and how he appears in this photo is his exact personality in real life...And my Mum at a beautiful beach in NZ with my middle boy back in 2004...And also a photo of myself with them circa 1980? (YOU do the math!) They had somehow lost Skype on their computer (they're 77 now and lose things easily hehe!) and so we hadn't talked for over a month. I got an email from my Dad last night saying they needed my phone number and to Skype as it was urgent. Scared me to death wondering what was wrong! Turns out they just missed me and wanted to make sure everything was OK! Gotta love parents :)

text: 'Trading Basics', the band�s full-length debut, released on Exploding In Sound and Inflated Records, challenges the listener's expectations with moments of dissonance that are reigned in and precise. The pretty moments are often where the chaos is. Amid these constant and rapid changes, the band sneaks in an unrelenting, trance-inducing repetition. Recorded and mixed by Eli Crews (Deerhoof, tUnE-yArDs) at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn, the album is a confident statement that this young band has carefully crafted a unique sonic vocabulary and methodology during their short time together. Being somewhat removed from city life, and having access to a 24 hour practice space in Hudson, has resulted in an unparalleled level of discipline and focus on their craft. In addition to the new record, the band�s impending relocation to Philadelphia, and September tour with Warehouse, expect Palm to take their incredibly tight live show on the road in support of 'Trading Basics' in the year to come.

This has become our motel of choice when flying to or from Sky Harbor airport from the UK, for several reasons. Firstly, the motel is fairly easy to find from the airport and is in a nice location near ASU, with various eateries within walking distance. Secondly, we have always had a friendly and helpful welcome from the front desk staff. On both occasions this time they put us in a quiet upstairs room overlooking the pool - although I do appreciate that noise levels could vary at busier holiday times. The room was a good size, with a large vanity area outside the main bathroom, so there was plenty of room for toiletries, etc. As seems to be fairly standard, it was equipped with microwave, fridge & hairdryer as well as the usual TV, table and chairs. The beds were very comfortable, the a/c worked well and there were lots of towels. A good choice of items was available for breakfast and there was also a useful guest computer in the lobby, which is great when you don't have a laptop with you.

When you clean your fiberglass bathtub, be sure to use a nonabrasive scrub brush.
Open hair-clogged drains using salt It's tough to keep hair and shampoo residues from collecting in the bathtub drain and clogging it. Dissolve the mess with 1 cup salt, 1 cup baking soda, and 1/2 cup white vinegar. Pour the mixture down the drain. After 10 minutes, follow up with a 1/2 gallon (2 liters) boiling water. Run your hot-water tap until the drain flows freely.

We stumbled across this little gem while waiting for the fish pedicure. We ordered a three meat pizza, so good! $1 beers. Who could complain. We will be back.
Many thanks for your opinion you are our motivation More
the pizza was very thinly topped. We ordered the pizza which had ham and artichoke and mushrooms on it. the artichokes were separated out in leaves and the ham was cut in strips and very thinly spaced on the pizza. mushrooms were almost non existant. first time, probably last.
Sorry, you know that the first impression is what counts but give us another opportunity and you will not regret it More
The chef here is amazing. If you love seafood, risotto, or paella, be sure to stop by! And order some fresh juices while you're at it.

We stopped here for lunch after walking through the various markets. What a fantastic little restaurant! We ordered 4 pizzas for 6 people and left with leftovers to snack on later. Our server was fast, pleasant to talk to and was quick to offer suggestions of what to have. Would definitely go back!
Many thanks and we invite you on your next visit to test our incredible cuts of meat More

We very much regret this situation may give us another chance More
Our visit tonight was an outstanding experience. The location between the market and the boardwalk has a lot going on. We started off with a shrimp guacamole appetizer which was a unique twist. We ordered a variety of thin crust pizzas which were amazing. And the Pinocchio salad which was one of the best we've had. Juan was our waiter... More

The more you buy the cheaper it becomes per bottle. P&p prices vary from just under £1 per bottle if you buy 10 bottles to £2.20 for just one bottle. But please note that sauces are for UK delivery only.You can also save by buying 3 bottles at £10, instead of £12.

PakistanPakistan: Murder in God's Name Blasphemy allegations have fatal consequences in Pakistan, yet some are risking their lives to press for reform. 101 East22 Mar 2013 19:20 GMT Pakistan, Murder, Religion In Pakistan, it is illegal to make derogatory comments about Prophet Muhammad or desecrate the Quran. Anyone accused is usually arrested and jailed, sometimes for years, before their case is overturned or sentence reduced by the appeal courts. Such is the strength of feeling about blasphemy that the mere rumour of an allegation is enough to set the neighbourhood or village against the accused, increasingly with fatal consequences. In some instances, it is not just the accused, but their entire community who are held responsible and threatened. On wasteland on the outskirts of Islamabad we meet families who have fled their homes in the city's Mehrabadi district. Despite the winter cold, they live in makeshift tents because they are too scared to return to Mehrabadi, after a member of their Christian community, 14-year-old Rimsha Masih, was accused of blasphemy in 2012. Fifty two of the accused and their supporters have been murdered in the last two decades. Even in police custody blasphemy suspects are not safe. In December 2012, an angry mob broke into a police station in Sindh province and beat a blasphemy suspect to death. He had been accused of burning pages of the Quran. In Ahmedpur East in July 2012, a man accused of throwing pages of the Quran on the street was dragged by crowds from a police cell and killed, after being pulled through the streets behind a motorbike. This sensitivity and climate of fear, combined with the inability of the criminal justice system to identify false allegations early, means the law is open to abuse. We hear how blasphemy allegations have become powerful weapons in settling personal scores. Lawyer Joseph Francis runs the Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS) in Lahore, one of the few existing groups that help people accused of blasphemy. In a safe house he introduces us to Ruqqiya, who says her neighbours accused her of blasphemy after her daughter got into an argument with the neighbour's child. Ruqqiya spent three years in jail before being acquitted. Her young children hardly knew her when she was released. Despite the acquittal, Ruqqiya says extremists are still searching for her and she fears for the family's safety. Nawab Bhatti and her sisters-in-law have also been terrified since Nawab's husband Zafar was accused of blasphemy and imprisoned awaiting trial, more than six months ago. His health in prison is deteriorating. They say the allegation was made by a rival party in a property dispute and used to get Zafar out of the way. Human rights activist Xavier William runs a crisis group in Islamabad and helped arrange safe accommodation for Michael and his family after they were forced to flee their home. Michael says he was accused of burning the Quran by a former boss, after he left his employer and started a rival business. Michael and his family now hide in the compound in fear of attack, and wish to flee Pakistan. Others, like Lahore-based journalist Shehrbano Taseer, refuse to leave the country despite the threats and the loss of loved ones. "When it is being so grossly misused it is definitely time to rethink and revisit this law. The stories are chilling, they put cases on minors and mentally handicapped people," she say. Shehrbano's father Salmaan Taseer, the governor of Punjab, was assassinated after showing support for Asia Bibi, a mother of five facing blasphemy charges. He campaigned to reform the laws. Inspired by clerics condemning Taseer, his bodyguard Mumtaz Qadri, shot him dead. The convicted murderer was showered with rose petals and praise on his way to court. Rao Abdur Raheem worked pro-bono to defend Qadri and said the bodyguard had no option but to take the law into his own hands and kill an enemy of the Holy Prophet. 101 East looks at the devastating impact of blasphemy allegations on the accused, what the use of the laws reveals about growing extremism and what hope there is for reform.

Cancer - a malignant tumor, the cells of which are formed by the mutation of cells of the surface layers (epithelium) of the skin or mucous membranes.Unfortunately, cancer sometimes develops in childhood.One of the rarest forms of cancer is breast cancer in children.
incidence and characteristics of the course of breast cancer in childhood
Pediatric cancer, malignant tumor that is based on the epithelium, is much rarer than in adults.Much more common in this age group is developing a sarcoma - a malignant tumor that develops from connective tissue.However, there are exceptions.Most children in developing thyroid cancer Thyroid cancer: it is curable , liver and nasopharynx.
Breast Cancer in children - it is a very rare disease (0.046% of all malignant tumors in childhood), which occurs more frequently in adolescents after 12 years.
features of the course of childhood cancer is that it is not a malignant course.However, for example, in breast cancer in children will appear metastasize
In addition, for any localization of cancer, including breast cancer, common symptoms first appear disease (changes in the whole organism), and onlythen change at the site of tumor formation.In adults, the opposite is true: in the beginning there are local (local), and then the overall change.
peculiarity of cancer in children is the fact that in its histological structure of tumor cells are highly differentiated, that is not too different from the tissue from which they were formed.This is a favorable prognostic sign such cells less rapidly invade surrounding tissues and metastasize.
most common breast cancer in children manifests itself in adolescence in girls (but maybe boys) as a result of hormonal changes in the body of the child.Contributing factors are genetic predisposition (breast cancer in close relatives), high emotional stress, stress, early onset of smoking and drinking.
Breast cancer in children occurs more benign than in adults.One reason for this flow (except for a relatively benign tumor histological structure) is that a small breast child or adolescent is best detected in the early stages of tumor.This leads to better child survival in breast cancer (breast cancer).
Breast Cancer in children - the first signs of
Breast cancer in children may first manifest itself in the form of the common symptoms: fatigue, weakness, weight loss, low-grade fever.The cause of these phenomena - a violation of cellular metabolism Metabolism: The basis of life of all living in the body of the child.
After some time in the breast of the child may appear small nodule.Since breast tissue a child has a small volume, easy to knot can be felt, even if it is very small (up to 1 cm in diameter).It can detect breast in children in the early stages.
However, during adolescence in girls is the breast and large enough, making it difficult to identify cancer in its early stages.If a small tumor was not detected in a timely manner, then after a while it can metastasize Metastases - danger everywhere the nearby (usually axillary, but sometimes other) lymph nodes.With the growth of cancerous tumor on her skin may change - it swells and takes the form of orange peel, wrinkled, or retracted.Nipple sometimes appear spotting Spotting - it is important to exclude pathology .
Some types of breast cancer among children in the skin of the breast appear erosion, ulcers, accompanied by weeping, flakes and dried crust.Externally these changes resemble eczema.It is very rare and usually older girls show signs of inflammatory forms of breast cancer, which occurs in the form of mastitis, but this is a sign of advanced disease.Metastases to distant organs in breast cancer in children is rare, later than in adults, and only in severe cases.
Diagnosis and treatment
detection of breast cancer in children with a small amount of breast usually is not difficult.The tumor is detected by palpation, and then held her biopsy under the control of the ultrasonic beam their laboratory study of tumor cells.For large mammary glands in girls teens with a comprehensive study, the same as for adult women.
Treatment of Breast Cancer in children is assigned individually and depends on the stage in which the disease was revealed.The most common surgical treatment of the tumor is performed.

I download the Motorola 4.6.0 Driver for 64 bit windows. I set the USB connection to PC Mode and USB Mass Storage Mode but it still does not connect. Also, I restarted my computer after installing the drivers. Is there a driver I need to install on the phone? Thank you in advance.
Are you sure they are version 4.6? I have version 4.2 which looks like the latest to me and have no problem connecting my phone to my windows 7 machine in any of the available modes. Did you install them with administrator privileges?
I just had a huge problem where the drivers didn't install for whatever reason in XP and after a minute or two, my computer would completely shut down on its own unexpectedly... I can't figure out why but I installed the V-Cast drivers, it crashed once again, and now it seems to work? Maybe this was the problem you were having as well ripscarface? try getting V-Cast to work and see if it helps
Thanks for you reply.I have Windows XP 64-bit. My account is an administrator account.Maybe the 64-bit drivers are not compatible with XP 64-bit just like they don't have Itunes for XP 64-bit.I was wondering if anyone is using this driver on a 32-bit XP and working. BTW: How do you remove the usb icon from the notification bar up top. Thank you.
I didn't install any drivers. Just put the phone in mass storage with the wizard. You can connect wirelessly too if you share folders on the pc and use estrongs. Or the other way around, install swiftp and connect to the phone from the pc with an ftp client.
I just plugged my phone into my Vista machine, the drivers loaded fine (ver 4.6) and the VCast window popped up when it was done. It does not seem to have support for Win7, though. I'll know more when I get home tonight and try it on my laptop. I'll try XP next and let you know how it goes on that pc.
Okay, it worked fine on the XP machine too. Both it and the Vista box are 32-bit, I can test Win7 32 and 64 bit when I get home this evening. Just curious though, what exactly does this do for me?
Issue resolved. I had to re-install the Motorola drivers. Then, I rebooted my computer and my phone. Thank you all for your help.
After I installed the driver from Moto's site, I restarted both my PC and Droid X...I'd suggest doing the same thing.
I have been re-seeming Moto phones for years starting with the E-815 but I can not get Moto Connect to install ANY driver on XP.... I have been to all the sites that all the posts list on this site and many others and its always a "can't install hardware" every time... Any help?

Marcus Trescothick has urged the critics to lay off Craig Kieswetter and tipped him to bounce back for England. The Somerset wicketkeeper is struggling for form with the bat, and a dismal one-day series against Australia and Bangladesh brought just 121 runs from eight innings.
The slump in form led the England head coach Andy Flower to order the 22-year-old opener to work on his "package". Yet Kieswetter's county captain Trescothick said: "Craig's form has been indifferent but we need to give him time. I have spoken to him and he needs to deal with the pressure that comes with a couple of low scores.
"When you play for England, you can't get away from that pressure but you have to try and block it out. If you don't get a hundred every week then people will always be on your back.
"But he will bounce back. He has the character and he's certainly good enough to play for England. The players at Somerset will offer him all the support we can but at the same time, the public and media have to give him a chance."
Trescothick believes the South African-born player must now show his mental strength to stake his claim for an Ashes spot later this year. "There is pressure on every international cricketer." said Trescothick. "You have to deal with the pressure of playing good teams like Australia but the media is probably the biggest thing to overcome when you first come into international cricket."
On Tuesday, England's women and their New Zealand counterparts play the last of their five-match one-day series at Lord's. While the surroundings may be somewhat more salubrious, it is a fair bet the crowd in north London will be neither as knowledgeable nor as appreciative than that gathered at Shaw Lane in Barnsley yesterday, when England won by nine wickets.
Not when it comes to Katherine Brunt, anyway. Barnsley-born, England's Cricketer of the Year was back at her home club and almost desperately keen to make her mark against New Zealand. Opening the bowling from the Holgate End, Brunt made full use of her local knowledge, swinging the ball at the sort of pace which has made her the most exciting bowler produced by the women's game in this country.
Buoyed by the New Zealand captain Aimee Watkins' surprising decision to bat first, England's bowlers, lead by Brunt and Isa Guha, got the tourists down and kept them there. The young spinners Laura Marsh, Holly Colvin and Danielle Hazell were impressive, bowling with sufficient control to enable captain Charlotte Edwards to keep her field close.
Frustrated into taking risks against deliveries that seamed, turned or sometimes simply stopped on the pitch, the wickets tumbled. Had it not been for Atkins' late hitting, they would not have passed 100.
Just to rub in the impression that luck was not on their side, the weather changed during the interval, cloud and rain being replaced by sun and a drying wind. The pitch remained difficult, but Sarah Taylor, Heather Knight and Claire Taylor played sensibly and correctly in seeing England home to their 137 target with the best part of four overs remaining.
Brunt admitted she had been as nervous before the match as before any she has played. "It was a really special occasion for me and I was desperate not to let anyone down, so I was pretty pleased when New Zealand chose to bat because I knew there was plenty in the pitch," she said.
"I was pleased with how the ball came out. When I lose my action my pace can drop, but I held it together OK out there."
Brunt has recently been clocked at just over 75mph, and now she has overcome back problems that plagued her early career, there is clearly more to come. As there is from many of this England team. The academy established by the ECB at the National Cricket performance Centre in Loughborough is clearly working, in that young, talented county players are making the transition to the international set-up much more quickly than before.
