WHAT have a rugby legend, a former Labour party leader and a child opera star all got in common?
They have all joined the cast of a film version of Under Milk Wood which is being shot in the harbour village of Solva over the next few weeks.
The adaptation of Dylan Thomas' famous radio play stars Welsh actor Rhys Ifans, who will play First Voice in the film.
Charlotte Church has been cast in the role of Polly Garter, while Lord Neil Kinnock and Gareth Edwards will make guest appearances.
Dozens of villagers have also been cast as extras.
The film is directed by Kevin Allen, who was behind the cult Welsh film Twin Town.
Kevin said: "We want to veer away from delivering a dull, literal reflection of Thomas's original work, intending instead to explore some of the more erotic, visceral elements of the richly funny, filthily fluid, magical dreamscape - whilst not stooping to mess with Thomas's original text."
The only other film version of Under Milk Wood was made in Fishguard in 1971, starring Richard Burton.
The production, which is being partly financed by S4C, will be filmed in English and Welsh, with the former being broadcast at Christmas and the latter sold for worldwide viewing.

Celebrate Women's History Month!
Marie Curie, Patricia Era Bath, Flossie Wong-Staal - and You
March is National Women's History Month, and this year's theme, Women Inspiring Innovation through Imagination: Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics aims to honor and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of women who have used their imagination and intelligence to make outstanding contributions to the STEM fields.
Women of every race, class, and ethnic background have played critical economic, cultural, and social roles in every sphere of life throughout history, yet as recently as the 1970's, women's history was virtually an unknown topic in school curricula or even in general public consciousness.
This began to change after President Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8th, 1980 as National Women's History Week (read his inspiring dedication message here). The declaration encouraged wide-ranging political support, and seven years later, Congress declared March as National Women's History Month in perpetuity.
Women Inspiring Innovation through Imagination: Celebrating Women in STEM is the perfect theme for us here at Girl Scouts of Greater New York. We are excited about all the new STEM programming we are introducing to you this year, and we are committed to ensuring that every one of you has the opportunity to discover the wonderful world of STEM for yourselves.
Last week at our Annual Meeting we had a chance to hear from five Girl Scouts interested in careers in environmental science, actuarial science, biology, and architecture. Each girl was inspired by experiences at home, at school and at the Girl Scouts. And, on March 16th, over 600 Girl Scout girls and volunteers joined us at the New York Hall of Science for the launch of STEM-in-a-Box and a day filled with a broad range of STEM activities. Throughout the year and in the future, we plan to bring more and more of these opportunities and experiences to our New York City Girl Scouts.
This year, the National Women's History Project has chosen 18 amazing women as honorees for National Women's History Month "because of their pioneering work, scientific breakthroughs, life-saving discoveries, invention of new technologies, creation of organizations, as well as the promotion of women and girls in STEM."1 They include women like Patricia Era Bath, an American ophthalmologist, inventor, and academic who broke ground for women and African Americans in a number of areas; the first African American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose, her laser probe is used to treat eye cataracts that cause blindness. - Susan Solomon is an atmospheric chemist who worked for most of her career at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and received the National Medal of Science for Chemistry in 1999 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 (she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2009. - Flossie Wong-Staal is a Chinese-American virologist and molecular biologist who was the first scientist to clone HIV and determine the function of its genes, a major step in proving that HIV is the cause of AIDS.
Today, we almost take for granted these women and thousands like them who pushed the boundaries in law, history, art, politics, and virtually every other field; who looked at the world around them with inquisitive eyes; and who insisted on making their way and claiming their place in history. Join us in celebrating them by reading about and discussing their lives and accomplishments during your next troop meeting; by exploring one of the city's STEM centers of learning; by participating in one of our STEM programs; and by making one of these fascinating subjects your own.

Non Fire Products
Sentry®Safe offers the best fire protection in the business. In fact we invented fire-resistant storage containers 80 years ago.
Our Safes can withstand temperatures ranging from 1,150° F to 1,850° F.
Underwriters Laboratory(UL) tests are independent tests of Sentry®Safe Fire-Safe® products.
For a product to earn a UL classification, the documents/items stored inside must remain completely
undamaged after being subjected to ½ hour (1550°F (843°C), 1 hour (1700°F (927°C)
or 2 hours (1850°F (1010°C) of fire exposure.
Only products with the Underwriters Laboratory(UL) mark have been tested to withstand these stringent conditions.
Different strength UL tests are required for paper, media and sensitive material storage. These tests, on top of the
security that already comes with the Sentry®Safe brand name, provide the ultimate insurance that your possessions
are safe from harm while inside a Sentry®Safe product.
In case that isn't enough, Sentry®Safe products also undergo ETL Semko testing.
ETL Semko is an independent testing firm which verifies products are in compliance
with the manufacturer's specifications for fire endurance.
Important fire fact:
Select UL Classified Sentry®Safe products pass a UL Explosion Hazard test, which
means they are subjected to a flash fire of 2000°F (1093°C) for 20 minutes
and the product does not explode. (Refer to owner's manual for specific models)
Select 1-hour and 2-hour safe models carry the UL Classification for Fire-Impact
testing. The products are heated to specified temperatures (depending on the model)
and then dropped 15 feet or 30 feet (depending on the model) onto rubble, cooled,
inverted and reheated. In order to pass the test, the product must remain closed
and the contents must be intact and usable. (Refer to owner's manual for specific

Above the ratchet of socket wrenches, the hiss and pop of compressed air hoses and the mechanical hum of chains turning on their sprockets comes a sound typically unfamiliar to a bike shop children's voices.
The young boys who exchange friendly chatter as they tend independently to their bikes are part of the youth programs that form the foundation of the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective. Since 2003, the collective's Earn-A-Bike program has given kids the kind of independence that Youth Director Hailey Broussard said comes only with bicycles.
"The freedom we give to kids by getting them on bicycles is immeasurable," she said. "Getting a kid on a bike will create freedom that they'll never know."
For many of the kids who enter the program, it's a freedom they haven't known. Broussard estimated that at least 80 percent of those in Earn-A-Bike are at-risk youth who frequently come from low-income households.
"My goal is for them to come here and have an experience they'll never forget," Broussard said. "They're often in inpatient treatment centers and I want their lives to be a breeze, and I come here to have fun with them."
During the four- to six-week program, kids learn basic mechanical skills, such as flat-tire repair, working on dummy bicycles rigged as teaching aids. Broussard and her volunteer staff also emphasize proper riding and bicycle safety before rewarding graduates with diplomas their very own bicycle.
David Kappas-McFalls, a seventh-grader at Clayton Junior High, has taken home three such bikes. He said he didn't know anything about bicycle repair when he first went to Earn-A-Bike. But seeing his skills improve as he kept going showed him how capable he could be, and not just with bikes.
"I felt that if I can do this, then I can do what I'm not so great at," David said. "Like at first I didn't think I'd be able to fix a bike up; I thought it would be too hard. If I think the same way like that in school, I'll be able to do the same thing."
While giving kids the instruction they need to care for their bikes is essential, Broussard said it's only a small part of what they do. The collective is a therapeutic environment, she said, in which the kids are free to be themselves.
"You're working on a bike and it's amazing, when you get them distracted, what you can get to come out of them about their personal life," Broussard said. "It's too often that people don't listen to youth. They forget how hard it is to find yourself."
As a third-grader, David was introduced to the Earn-A-Bike program through another Salt Lake City education initiative, YouthCity. He wasn't the only kid who didn't know his way around a bike, but he said his inexperience initially made him more reserved.
"I was shy at first," he said. "I didn't really know anybody. But then the first week I got to know people, and then the second week I felt like I was there for a while."
He's now completed the program three times, but he said that first time was the most formative. He said he put a lot of time into that bike, and it's a reminder of that work and of the independence it gave him.
"I got it fixed up; I still ride it," David said. "I would never sell that bike."

Earn-A-Bike program
The Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective has targeted predominantly low-income and at-risk youth from the YMCA, YouthCity, the Boys and Girls Club and Valley Mental Health since 2003.
The free program typically lasts four to six weeks, during which children learn basic bicycle repair and safe riding practices before graduating with their own bike to take home.
Youth Director Hailey Broussard and her volunteer staff work to ensure the program environment is as therapeutic as it is instructional by engaging personally with each attendee.

ok, now I posted my video per the rules
I just want one match with Pixie Dan! Just one! Rob Base can be the ref Cause Dan will need all the help he can get! I don't think Dan can handle me!
Just listening now... kinda take issue with telling folks to go and sell unwanted figures... lets just see if the $75 FFM sell on the secondary market at cost price first.... comparing selling the sub exclusive to selling an expensive 3-pack is ridiculous!
You also went off in a tangent saying that making all A list characters would kill the longetivity of the line (which is true) but I'm not sure the listener meant they should release Glimmer, Mantenna, Scorpia, Two-Bad etc... all in succession. I think he meant the most fan demanded characters. The FFM are not fan demanded in my opinion and when many others felt the same at the time they were revealed, it's not just a winey fan impatient for Christmas You made it sound like he was complaining that he wasn't getting 'his' choice of what he wanted, when in actual fact his complaint was about concept characters like the FFM. He even said there were many characters from the Vintage, POP, NA and MYP that are still to come! I think some of the comments were very unfair to be honest and I feel sorry for the guy who called in.
Respect to Danielle who was unbiased and saw things from both sides of the coin

At this point I just HOPE for Dylamug and Hunga the Harpy!
The problem is that when the FFM were planned, Scott and his team didn't have the scare of less sub buyers to help motivate the planned line-up. If we had another 4 or 5 years guaranteed, then the FFM would be an awesome thing... even though it's expensive...

Just to add in regard to my previous post, He-Ro and Wundar are not concepts, so those were poor examples. I'm not sure some of the hosts understood the actual comment/question...

I was personally saying I haven't had an issue selling off any unwanted figure. I also feel that we didn't miss his point we simply didn't agree with him. If we all agreed on everything it would be one boring podcast.
I feel the pacing of the figures is good. Because If it was all the figs i like i wouldn't have bought Gygor or the shadow beast but i love them in my collection.
I also feel that he seemed like his opinion should matter more since he has 4 subscriptions but I don't feel anyone's personal beliefs are better than others
In the end its all our own take on this subject. I want the rock people really bad as well!!!!
- - - Updated - - -
What I meant by He-Ro and Wundar is (btw since He-Ro was never mass produced he is technically a concept) the subscription should give us awesome figures like eldor,he-ro and figs like that sace SDCC for repaints. These figures could more than make people buy a sub again over a repaint.

Brevard, N.C. - A new era dawns at Brevard College as the Tornados welcome new Head Coach Mark Prosser to the sidelines in Boshamer Gymnasium.
The Tornados face the tall task of replacing two-time All-Conference guard Josh Roper as well as the 2011 SAC's leading rebounder Josh Jordan, but with the return of Gaither Hendrix, Drew Schauss, Jermichael Tanner and Darius Moose, Brevard will look to continue their recent stretch of success as they look to return to the postseason for the third consecutive season.
Prosser begins his first year with the Tornados, coming to Brevard after a standout career on the sidelines at NCAA Division I Wofford College and Bucknell University, and returns seven players, including three starters from last year's 13-14 squad that finished tied for fourth overall in the SAC standings in making it to the 2011 Food Lion SAC tournament.
The Tornados will have a good base to work on as Hendrix became the third BC men's basketball player to be selected to the SAC Preseason All-Conference First Team, joining BC alums Jonathan Whitson and Roper as Tornados selections to the team.
Hendrix is the Tornados leading returning scorer after a standout first season with Brevard, averaging 14.9 points per game, while connecting on 33.1 percent of his three-point attempts. The 6-1 point guard has the penetrating ability to get into the lane, while the vision to spot the open man on the break and all of his weapons will need to be utilized to the full force this season.
Schauss and Moose are expected to contribute right away as well as Schauss continues to display his expanding all-around game on the court as he added crashing the boards to his ability to score from all over the court as he finished third on the team with 4.9 rebounds per game, while hitting on a career high 45.3 percent of his field goal attempts. Moose, fresh of a campaign which saw him named to the 2011 All-SAC Freshman team, also returns after hitting 53.3 percent of his field goal attempts, averaging 5.1 points per game and 4.6 rebounds per game, and will look to continue to develop his skills as he battles down low in the conference this season.
Also returning for the Tornados this season are senior Jermichael Tanner, as well as redshirt sophomore Dominique Pickett and redshirt freshman Chavis Hamilton.
Tanner, the hero of the Tornados SAC Championship run two years ago, returns for his final campaign and will see time at the point guard position for Brevard. One of the faster players on the court in every game this season, Tanner's drive and ability to slice into the lane will provide BC with several fast break opportunities and the 5-9 athlete was third on the team in steals last season.
Pickett comes back after limited action last season and will challenge for playing time with Hamilton who redshirted his first year at Brevard after a successful career at McDowell High School where he was a three-time Team MVP.
Eight new players join the Tornados this season as Gerel Simmons, Hunter Morrison, Taylor Warren, Aleksandar Vasiljevic, Filip Gujanicic, Jonathan Hopper and David Worth all will wear the blue, black and white this season for the Tornados.
Simmons, Morrison, Warren and Hopper will all line up in the backcourt for the Tornados, while Vasiljevic, Gujanicic and Worth will challenge for playing time in the BC front court.
Simmons was captain of the 4A State Basketball State team and played in the Maryland State All-Star game, capping off a career at North Point High School in Accokeek, Md., while Warren comes from East Davidson High School. Morrison and Hopper also hail from the state of North Carolina with Morrison from Concord, N.C. and South Rowan High School, while Hopper comes from Waynesville, N.C. and Tuscola High School.
Vasiljevic and Gujanicic come to Brevard by way of Belgrade, Serbia and their 6-7 and 6-8 frames will help fill out the paint for the Tornados, while Worth will look to adjust to the pounding of the collegiate game as the 6-9 Midland, N.C. native will attempt to help the Tornados win the battle of the boards.
Brevard opens up the 2011-2012 regular season as they take part in the annual Peach Belt/South Atlantic Conference Challenge in Dahlonega, Ga. taking on North Georgia on November 11th.

Optional Additions
There are countless other exercises that you can use to develop overall body strength. If you have any specific needs or areas that require extra attention, feel free to add in up to three more exercises to help create balance among the three sports.
A short list of additional strength-training exercises includes:
- Incline press
- Reverse flye
- Back extension
- Any core strength and balance moves
If you have a question on how to do any of these exercises correctly, consult a personal trainer. Proper execution of each lifting move is significantly more important than the weight that you use. Not only does improper form reduce the effectiveness of each exercise, but it can also put you at risk of injury.

The Four Phases of Strength Training
The strength program cycles through four distinct phases. Each one is designed to work different aspects of your overall strength and will ideally match up to the different phases of your aerobic training throughout the season (pre-training, base, speed and taper).
Phase One: Adaptation (1 x 12-15 repetitions) — During this phase, the goal is to adapt your body to lifting. Each exercise is to be done as follows: one set of 12 to 15 repetitions. The correct weight choice for each exercise will allow you to feel like you could complete an additional one to three repetitions with good form. The weight is too heavy if you feel a strong burn in the muscles at the end of the set.
The adaptation phase can last two to four weeks. Go to the Endurance Phase once you can complete the Adaptation workout without feeling sore the next day.
More: Periodization of Strength Training
Phase Two: Endurance (2 x 12-15 repetitions) — During this phase, increase the number of sets to two, with each set still consisting of 12 to 15 repetitions. Again, the correct weight is one that allows you to complete the two sets knowing you could have done one to three more repetitions with good form and without any major burning in the muscles. Each set should be challenging without requiring maximum effort.
This phase can last four to 12 weeks. How long you extend this phase depends upon when your first big race is on the calendar. Count back nine weeks from your next A-priority race. This will mark the end date of the Endurance Phase and the beginning of the Power Phase.
Phase Three: Power (three sets: 1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 6) — Feel the burn! This phase is where the largest improvements in strength occur. It is also where the sluggishness that weights can cause will carry over most into swimming, cycling and running. So don't expect to feel like Carl Lewis at the same time you're lifting like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Undesirable. Applicants falling into the following categories should not be given the Going-forth. As Going-forth is the customary first step in full Acceptance, this means that they should not receive full Acceptance, either. Any bhikkhu who gives any of these applicants the Going-forth incurs a dukkaṭa. However, the applicant does count as having properly gone forth; if fully accepted he is properly accepted and need not be expelled.
2) Those with serious, disfiguring, or communicable diseases. The Canon separates this category into three types:
(a) A person afflicted with leprosy, boils, eczema, tuberculosis, or epilepsy. Some have questioned whether this prohibition is compassionate to the diseased, but the origin story behind the rule shows that it was formulated out of compassion for the bhikkhus and lay supporters who would be burdened with the diseased person's care.
Now at that time five diseases were widespread among the Magadhans: leprosy, boils, eczema, tuberculosis, and epilepsy. People afflicted with the five diseases went to (the doctor) Jīvaka Komārabhacca and said, "It would be good, teacher, if you would treat us."
"Masters, I have many duties. I am very busy. I have to tend to King Bimbisāra of Magadha, as well as his harem and the Community of bhikkhus headed by the Buddha. I cannot treat you."
"All our wealth will be yours, teacher, and we will be your slaves. It would be good, teacher, if you would treat us."
"Masters, I have many duties. I am very busy. I have to tend to King Bimbisāra of Magadha, as well as his harem and the Community of bhikkhus headed by the Buddha. I cannot treat you."
Then it occurred to these people, "These Sakyan-son monks are of pleasant virtue and conduct. Having eaten fine meals, they lie down in beds sheltered from the wind (see Pc 65). What if we were to go forth among the Sakyan-son monks? There the bhikkhus would tend to us and Jīvaka Komārabhacca would treat us." So, going to the bhikkhus, they requested the Going-forth. The bhikkhus gave them the Going-forth, they gave them the full Acceptance. The bhikkhus tended to them and Jīvaka Komārabhacca treated them. Now at that time the bhikkhus — tending to many sick bhikkhus — were continually begging, continually hinting, "Give a meal for the sick. Give a meal for those tending to the sick. Give medicine for the sick." Jīvaka Komārabhacca — tending to many sick bhikkhus — neglected one of his duties to the king.
Then a certain man afflicted with the five diseases went to Jīvaka Komārabhacca ... (as above). Then it occurred to him, " ... What if I were to go forth among the Sakyan-son monks? There the bhikkhus would tend to me and Jīvaka Komārabhacca would treat me. When I am well I will disrobe." So, going to the bhikkhus, he requested the Going-forth. The bhikkhus gave him the Going-forth, they gave him the full Acceptance. The bhikkhus tended to him and Jīvaka Komārabhacca treated him. When he was well he disrobed.
Then Jīvaka Komārabhacca saw the man disrobed. On seeing him, he addressed him, "Master, weren't you gone forth among the bhikkhus?"
"Yes, teacher."
"But why did you act in this way?"
Then the man told the matter to Jīvaka Komārabhacca. Jīvaka Komārabhacca criticized and complained and spread it about, "How can the revered ones give the Going-forth to a person afflicted with the five diseases?"
— Mv.I.39.1-6
Four of these diseases are explained in the commentaries.
Leprosy includes scabies, yaws, and psoriasis as well. Apparently, any other disease that causes ulcerating lesions on the skin would also come under this heading. If the disease occurs in small patches the size of the back of a nail in areas covered when fully robed and is in a condition that won't spread further, the applicant may go forth. If the patches are visible on the face or the backs of hands, then even if they are small and won't spread, he shouldn't go forth. If he has been treated so that the patches disappear completely, he may. The Sub-commentary adds here that the "back of the nail" means the back of the nail of the small finger or toe; if the patches are small and in a covered area but still spreading, the applicant should not go forth.
Boils, according to the Commentary, also covers skin excrescencies looking like fingers or cow nipples. If the boils are not spreading, no larger than jujube pits (the same size as olive pits), and in an area covered when fully robed, the applicant may go forth; if they are in an uncovered area, he shouldn't. Acne and warts don't count as boils under this rule.
Eczema covers a wide variety of skin diseases, differing from those included under "leprosy" in that they are not debilitating and do not ulcerate or ooze. Thus ringworm and athlete's foot would come under this category. As under the preceding category, small, non-spreading infestations in an area covered when fully robed would be allowable.
Epilepsy includes both grand and petit mal, as well as cases of seizures caused by hostile spirit possession (!).
(b) A person with goiter. This was apparently incurable at the time. At present, if such a person is cured, he may go forth.
(c) A person afflicted with an "evil" disease. This, the Commentary says, includes such things as hemorrhoids, fistulas, upsets of bile or phlegm, cough, asthma, or any disease that is "chronically afflicting (reading niccātura with the Thai edition of the Commentary), exceedingly painful, disgusting, and disagreeable." AIDS and cancer would come under here.
5) Those who are physically handicapped, feeble, or deformed. The following list is from the Canon, with passages from the Commentary in brackets: an applicant with a hand cut off [C: at least from the palm] ... a foot cut off [C: at least from the ball of the foot].. a hand and foot cut off ... an ear cut off ... a nose cut off ... an ear and nose cut off [C: in the case of ears and nose, if the cut-off part can be reconnected, the applicant may go forth] ... a finger or toe cut off [C: so that nothing of the nail appears] ... a thumb or big toe cut off .. a cut tendon ... one who has webbed fingers [C: if the fingers are separated by surgery, or if a sixth finger is removed, the applicant may go forth] ... a bent-over person [C: bent-over forward (a hunchback), bent-over back (a swayback), bent-over to either side; a slight crookedness is to be expected in all candidates, as only a Buddha is perfectly straight] ... a dwarf ... one with a club foot (or elephantiasis) [C: if the foot is operated on so as to become a normal foot, he may go forth] ... one who disgraces the assembly [C: through some deformity; (the list here is very long and includes many seemingly harmless characteristics, such as connected eyebrows, a lack of a beard or moustache, etc. This is one area where the Commentary seems to have gone overboard)] ... one who is blind in one eye ... one who has a crooked limb [C: limb = at least a hand, foot, or finger] ... one who is lame ... one half-paralyzed [C: paralyzed in one hand, one foot, or down one side] ... a cripple [C: one who needs a crutch or stool to move along] ... one feeble from old age ... one who is blind... dumb [C: unable to speak or with such a bad stutter that he cannot pronounce the Three Refuges clearly]... deaf ... blind and dumb ... blind and deaf (§ — not mentioned in BD) ... deaf and dumb ... blind and deaf and dumb.
Again, some people have questioned the compassion behind these prohibitions, but the point of the prohibitions is to keep the bhikkhus from being burdened with looking after those who are a burden or an embarrassment to their families. There is at least one case in the Canon of a dwarf who ordained and became an arahant (Ud.VII.1-2), but apparently he, like Aṅgulimāla, was accepted into the Community by the Buddha himself. If it so happens that a bhikkhu develops any of these handicaps after his ordination — e.g., he goes blind or loses a limb — he need not disrobe, and his fellow bhikkhus are duty-bound to care for him (see Chapter 5).
Craig86 wrote:I hope nobody minds me resurrecting this old topic but I'd be very interested to see some more comments on this, especially as it's so difficult to find any mention of it elsewhere online.
The main reason I ask is that ordination is a possible route for me in the future but I do experience dry skin on my face and head that is managed through daily moisturising (though I have a specific form of dermatitis that particularly affects my nose and sometimes has to be treated with a corticosteroid cream).
It's certainly something I'll be asking next time I visit my local monastery (Harnham/Aruna Ratanagiri), but I would like to know if the kind of maintenance it takes to control this problem would be a barrier to ordination.
The connected eyebrow part is of note also - I have to shave in between my eyebrows to prevent sporting such a monobrow; as that could easily be incorporated as part of whatever general shaving routine takes place within the monastic setting then can I assume that it wouldn't be an issue?
Christopherxx wrote:The only reason I could see a monastery refusing is if they couldn't provide the adequate services to make sure that person would stay in good health, and in the world we live in now even in the remote parts that is very rare.
But much remains to be done. More
than 700 million people still lack ready
access to improved sources of drinking
water; nearly half are in sub-Saharan
Africa. More than one third of the global
population – some 2.5 billion people
— do not use an improved sanitation
facility, and of these 1 billion people still
practice open defecation.

Because it is black, the DashMat does not create a "ghost image" in the windshield which is an obstruction to visibility. I always recommend a dark color for this reason. The cover does not conform completely to the curves in the dash, but it helps protect the dash and create a nice "finished" look to the car interior. I would recommend it to those desiring those features.

Study focuses on little-known toxicity of silver nanocolloids
A study by researchers at the Arnold School of Public Health has found that silver nanoparticles dispersed in liquid — also known as silver nanocolloids (SNC) — appear to disrupt the process by which vertebrate embryos form and develop.
The team of international researchers, led by Shosaku Kashiwada, a post-doctoral fellow at the Arnold School's Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the time of study, and Tom Chandler, dean of the Arnold School of Public Health, examined the toxic effects of SNC on medaka fish. The results were published recently in Environmental Science and Technology, a journal of the American Chemical Society.
Morphological changes that occurred in medaka fish embryos included cardiovascular malformations, ischemia, underdeveloped eyes and central nervous system and kyphosis (curvature of the spine). The changes to the fish embryos appear to be caused by the disruption of the expression of specific genes key to normal vertebrate development.
The study is timely. High-tech industries and medicine are increasing their use of nanotechnology, which is expected to have a $1.5 trillion global market by 2015. While "such technology offers numerous benefits, there are mounting concerns regarding the potential environmental and human health risks associated with exposure to nanomaterials," said the researchers.
In particular, silver nanomaterials, including nanocolloids and nanoparticles, are the most widely used because of their disinfectant properties and are the major components of health care products. However, silver nanomaterials also have a greater opportunity to affect aquatic environments through emissions from municipal and other wastewater facilities.
The researchers found that SNC were capable of crossing the protective medaka egg membrane and reaching the embryonic mass.
Among the study's conclusions:
• SNC impact on medaka embryos was dependent on the stage of development at exposure. For example, SNC exposure at stage 21 (one day and 10 hours) impacted brain and neural fold formation.
• SNC crossed the egg chorion and resulted in acute toxicity and adverse malformations in the embryos, including cardiovascular diseases, short tail development with kyphosis, and deformities of the brain, eyes and spine.
• In addition to problems associated with the cardiovascular system, SNC caused gross malformations in central nervous system development in medaka embryos.
Because very little is known about the specific mechanisms and modes of action regarding the toxicity of silver nanoparticles, more research on silver toxicity is needed; particularly with the increased use of such nanomaterials in consumer products and the mounting concerns over the potential environmental and human health risks associated with exposure to nanomaterials, the researchers said.
Other Arnold School researchers involved in the study included Maria Ariza, Tomohiro Kawaguchi, Sumith Jayasinghe and Karin Gartner. The study included researchers from USC's Nano Center and Toyo University in Japan.

"The Word became flesh," according to John 1:14, but that flesh has been hidden, for the most part, in movie portrayals of Jesus. At certain key points in his life, history and even tradition would dictate that Jesus ought to be depicted nude — and there are good theological reasons for doing so. But most films have tended to shy away from nudity in their own portrayals of those parts of the Jesus story.
There are some obvious reasons for this reticence, of course, starting with the fact that film, for much of its history, has been forced to skirt around images of nudity in general, and images of male nudity in particular. Plus, when a film does show someone's nudity, it does not merely show us the character's nudity; it shows us the actor's nudity as well, and the knowledge that we are seeing an actor's naked body can sometimes distract us from the character he is playing. This is especially true when the character is meant to be an embodiment of divinity like Jesus.
There have been at least three significant exceptions, though — three films that each depict the nudity of Jesus at a different key point in his story.

'Frankenburger' Has Now Been Cooked, Served
(NEWSER) – The $330,000 "Frankenburger" was cooked and eaten at a London press conference today, and it turns out we have Sergey Brin to thank for the blessed event. The Google co-founder put up the aforementioned cash needed to create the first lab-grown burger, a move borne from a concern for animal welfare. "When you see how these cows are treated, it's certainly something I'm not comfortable with," he explains in a 6-minute video for theGuardian.
But enough about Brin, and more about the taste of the patty, which was made from the stem cells of cattle. Reactions, per the BBC:
- Chicago-based author of Taste of Tomorrow, Josh Schonwald: "The mouthfeel is like meat. I miss the fat, there's a leanness to it, but the general bite feels like a hamburger. What was consistently different was flavor."

Report: AMD to Cut Up to 30 Percent of Engineering Staff in Coming Weeks
Tiffany Kaiser
October 14, 2012 6:54 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The company is expected to announce the number of lay offs in the next week -- around the time it will be reporting its quarterly financial results
Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD) will be cutting as much as 30 percent of its staff before the end of the year.
AMD, which makes processors for PCs and servers, is getting ready to lay off anywhere from 20 to 30 percent of its employees in the next few weeks. The company is expected to announce the number of lay offs in the next week -- around the time it will be reporting its quarterly financial results.
This marks AMD's second big staff cut in a year's time. About a year ago, it cut 10 percent of its employees. At the end of Q2 2012, the company said it had 11,737 employees.
Why is AMD making such drastic reductions in staff? Mainly because it is struggling to compete with other
chip makers
like Intel. Intel has not only grabbed the PC and server markets, but has also dipped into the mobile market as well, offering
tablet and smartphone chips
. AMD, on the other hand, hasn't made a push for mobile yet. This is clearly problematic, considering the PC market has been in decline in favor of mobile devices, and chip makers like Intel and AMD have to adapt to stay alive.
In addition to competition,
reported that AMD's board is a huge reason as to why the company was forced to make staff cuts. The report said that AMD's board is "incompetent" and that the company "staffed senior management with toadies who would do their bidding rather than do the right thing."
noted that AMD is mainly cutting engineers, and that AMD likely will not survive with this cut.
AMD has already announced ahead of its quarterly earnings report that that revenue would decrease 10 percent instead of the previously forecasted four percent decrease to two percent increase.
However, AMD is hoping for a brighter future with its first mobile chip release for Windows 8 tablets this year.
AMD is expected to announce quarterly earnings this Thursday.

Prime Minister Key meets Aung San Suu Kyi
Rt Hon John Key
Prime Minister
23 November 2012 Media Statement
Prime Minister Key meets Aung San Suu Kyi
Prime Minister John Key has met Myanmar's opposition leader, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi.
It follows a meeting between Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully and Aung San Suu Kyi earlier this year.
"For many years Aung San Suu Kyi led efforts to bring democratic reform to Myanmar, and she has made great personal sacrifices on behalf of the country's people," says Mr Key.
"Her ability to travel to Oslo in June to receive in person the Nobel Peace Prize was both a tremendous personal tribute to her, and reflected how far Myanmar has come since she was released from house arrest.
"I was pleased to reaffirm to Aung San Suu Kyi New Zealand's support as Myanmar continues to promote the democratic and economic reforms she has dedicated so much of her life to achieving."
The Prime Minister concludes his official visit to Myanmar today, returning to New Zealand on 24 November.

Stop GMO Apples
Did you know the USDA is currently considering approval of a genetically engineered "non-browning" apple produced by Okanagan Specialty Fruits in Canada?
If you try to avoid US-produced corn, soy, cottonseed, and canola because of GMOs, apples could be next. The US apple industry is concerned, that if unlabeled genetically engineered apples enter the US market, consumers, both domestic and international, could reject US apples altogether in favor of imports from countries where apples are still produced using traditional breeding methods.
The Organic Consumers Association is making it easy for you to send a message to keep GMOs out of our food supply.
P.S. When you shop for produce, note that on the PLU sticker, a five-digit number beginning with "8" stands for GMO. This is a VOLUNTARY labeling practice, so inconsistently applied, but in some cases it can help you make an informed shopping decision.

LONG BEACH — A year ago, contracts and projects - say, the extension of a construction pact for a North Long Beach fire station - would have come before the Redevelopment Agency for approval. And those approvals would have advanced projects and have contracts signed within days.
But in today's post-RDA world, those projects and contracts that come before the City Council - the successor agency to the now-defunct RDA - could be delayed or ultimately not happen because they are now subject to the approval of two other layers of bureaucracy: an oversight board made up of taxing agencies such as the county and school district and the state Department of Finance.
"We couldn't sign contracts tomorrow," said Amy Bodek, director of the city's Development Services Department.
For the second time since the dissolution of its RDA, the council as successor agency agreed Tuesday to extend the construction and architect contracts for a new fire station and emergency resource building in North Long Beach, known as Fire Station 12.
The project includes a 12,000-square-foot three-bay fire station and 5,000-square-foot three-bay emergency resource center that will house wireless communication and other equipment at 1199 Artesia Blvd., a 1.2-acre lot formerly owned by the RDA. The new LEED-certified station will be more than double the size of the more-than-80-year-old station at 6509 Gundry Ave.
The successor agency also agreed to a tentative settlement with Sprint PCS over a cellphone tower in the North Village project area and approved a draft list of its former redevelopment agency's projects, services and bills that they have to pay.
"We cannot definitively tell you today that every single line item here will be approved by the Department of Finance," Bodek said of the draft list. "That's the risk that we have in not being able to tell you if a project is going to ultimately proceed through its completion."
It's the new world order for Long Beach since the state dissolved redevelopment agencies throughout California.
To help close its multibillion-dollar budget deficit, the state moved last year to dissolve RDAs to save $1.7 billion.
The decision was a major blow to cities, including Long Beach, where nearly half the city is in a redevelopment area. Cities relied on redevelopment funds from property taxes to fight blight, advance economic development and build affordable housing.
Earlier this year, the council stepped in as the RDA's successor agency, which is responsible for redistributing redevelopment assets to other taxing agencies such as Los Angeles County and Long Beach Unified School District. It would also manage payments for RDA's leases, land transactions and other obligations totaling more than $1 billion.
As it stands, the oversight board, made up of taxing agencies such as the city, the county, school districts and others, has yet to be formed, though Bodek said the board should be formed sometime in May.
Meanwhile, the city is working to convert the RDA website into one for the successor agency and the future oversight board.
Once the Oversight Board takes action, there's a three-day timeframe in which the Department of Finance must act to either be silent or to tell the city what board actions it wants to review, Bodek said, adding that the Department of Finance has 10 days to respond.
As for forming a community advisory group that would consolidate the former RDA's community boards, the Long Beach Housing Development Co. and the Community Development Advisory Commission, Bodek said staff has met with the City Attorney's Office and expects to bring a draft recommendation to the council soon.

backbite (Sir Benjamin), nephew of Crabtree, very conceited, and very censorious.
The first thing old backbite said when he heard of it was, 'H'm!
From these though descended our manners are mended,Though still we can grin and backbite!
Death, however ignominious, rather than remorse—the backbite of inwit, in the quaint language of our forefathers.
He could not backbite, nor envy, nor prevaricate, nor jump at mean motives for generous acts.
We are all friends; of course we are friends, and we all backbite each other and carry scandal and intrigue.
I am sorry to be obliged to backbite, but really and truly we dont like Mrs. De Lancey Smythe.
A parcel of old women who delight in having some one to run down and backbite.
They who were most benefited are often the first to most loudly complain and to backbite.
To backbite is to speak something secretly to one's injury; to calumniate is to invent as well as utter the injurious charge.

I hope they sign up a few guys from different Countries/Continents and showcase them as if they concentrate too much on the Indian market they will have no interest from outside their own Country. I understand that you start from within where you are based and all that but I feel that people won't be talking about them as they will be other orgs around the world
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
I think they're doing exactly the right thing by concentrating on local fighters. India has a billion people-loads of them young and increasingly wealthy. This is why the UFC are desperate to get a foothold there.
The Bollywood stuff and the dancing girls may not appeal to hardcore MMA fans- but they are the kind of thing that have made the sportatainment of the Indian Premier League cricket a $4 billion dollar business. Significantly- the IPL teams also have to field homegrown players. Indians want to see other Indians compete. An MVP or a Bob Sapp now and then add a bit of spice-but Indian fighters are the way forward.
The standard may not be what international MMA fans are used to but we are not the target audience.
