These are general guidelines. Your nurse will teach you how to take care of your catheter. Be sure to follow the specific instructions he or she gives you. Call your doctor if you have questions or concerns.
To keep your catheter working right, you will need to flush it with a heparin solution. A heparin solution is a liquid that keeps blood from clotting in your catheter and blocking it.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for heparin and the supplies that you will need. Many cancer treatment centers send supply kits home to help patients care for their catheters.
You will need to flush your catheter every day and after each use.

Tiivistelmä: | Background
The aim of the study was to examine the construct validity of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire -R18 (TFEQ-R18), a measure of eating behaviour, and to evaluate cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating and emotional eating in a sample of adolescent and young adult females of different weights. Methods Subjects were 2 997 females, aged 17 to 20 years, who participated in a phase III human papillomavirus vaccination trial in Finland in 2004 – 2009. Self-administered questionnaires and weight and height measurements were used. The factor structure of the TFEQ-R18 was verified by factor analysis. Connections between measured eating behaviour and Body Mass Index (BMI) were tested using analysis of variance. Results The original factor structure of the TFEQ-R18 was replicated: six of the eighteen items measured cognitive restraint, nine measured uncontrolled eating, and three measured emotional eating. On average, higher BMI was associated with higher levels of cognitive restraint (p < 0.001) and emotional eating (p < 0.001), but not with uncontrolled eating. Conclusion Structural validity of the TFEQ-R18 was good in this sample of young Finnish females with a varying range of body weights. Use of the instrument as a measure of eating behaviour was thus corroborated. Connections of restrained and emotional eating with BMI were in accordance with previous findings from young females. |

Queen for a Day
I'm thrilled to be the featured poet today at Poetry Daily! Please pay me a visit. The poem is "Seventh-Grade Science Project." It appears in the current issue of the Harvard Review.
As if that weren't enough excitement for one day, I'm now up in Kingston, NY, where I have come in order to take an all-day poetry workshop with Dorianne Laux and Joseph Millar. I haven't taken a workshop in a long time, but jumped at the opportunity to spend time with these two poets. One benefit of being in the workshop is that it will prevent me from sitting around all day staring at myself on Poetry Daily. And I hope to return home with some new poems underway. Details coming soon.

[/quote] Everyone? In all my readings they are from a particular SArabian inspired sect, with extensive training centres hidden from view. Those implicated: Pakistan, SArabia, Qatar-- coincidently or not allies of the US. You must cite this acquired knowledge of their use by "everyone" as mercenaries, no matter the cause. [/quote] You are aware that Iran uses its own brand of jihadists in Pakistan and Iraq (in its squabbles for territory/influence in other words). Muqtada al Sadr (Iran) ring a bell? Irrespective of the sects involved, the common thread is a fundamentalism that is extreme to the degree that all intelligent thought is effectively blocked. And what do we have? Rent a stupid!! [/quote] There is no common thread between Iraqi Shia anti Saddam politics and SArabia funded Wahhabi ambitions. Muqtada was a patriot, not a terrorist. That Iran shielded him and latter supported him has a long history to events connected inside Iraq. What you are failing to do is separate legitimate indigenous struggle from outside interference and manipulation. [/quote] Bullshit. One would have thought there is no real nationalism in the Arab Empire when it comes to fighting external forces from the infidel world. After all it was infidels who dethroned Saddam, reason enough I wulda thunk to sink your differences and defend the Caliphate. These arseholes are squabbling amongst themselves and selling themselves out to the highest bidder. If that isn't rent a stupid, I have no idea what is. [/quote] Who are you to say it is "reason enough" to discard the anti Saddam struggle because infidels dethroned Saddam? Worse!, who the FUCK are you to associate them with foreign funded fanatical terrorists whose sole purpose was to weaken both Sunni and Shia resistance against the US led illegal invasion? That's [i]really [/i]sloppy analysis!!! Even Baaths were patriots as much as Muqtada. Without the "infidels",, as you call them, and other foreign infiltrators (SArabia) a secular Baathist multiethnic and locally grown option was always a possibility. Marxist, you have lost your patience for nationalist struggle as the vehicle for self determination. Time to change your moniker and become a Clinton supporter.. [/quote] Where is the local self determination whilst the region pivots around an imperial theocracy based in Saudi Arabia. A theocracy which all the so-called secular forces in the region pay lip service to as the region continues to set itself apart from the mass of the working class movement worldwide. Islamic socialism (Baathist or Libyan) is a joke. It is as much a joke as is the bogus socialism of Tony Blair or the Chinese. However, give those hegemons their due. They act in concert when confronted by threats to their regional interest. I fall about the place laughing at being told that China has the back of the Arab Empire. China has only one back...and that is China. The constituent elements of the Arab Empire are a joke and have let down the muslim working class absolutely. They afford no protection to the working class whilst being preyed upon by external forces. In fact local predation surpasses that of the outsider. In contrast, little Israel does a salutory job in securing its own interests. The best you can do is breakup this joke of a cultural region and start from scratch. You have yet to embark on the modernity of capital (yes, Marx did construe the meritocracy of capitalism an improvement on the arbitrary structures one finds in these outdated feudalisms) let alone address the core inequities. In other words, you have yet to pass base in your long climb to equity. You are not going to get it by running around the place like a headless chicken playing the victim. You can only do so through solidarity and that comes from a solid understanding of the issues at stake. [/quote] So let me get this straight: your Marxist analysis is to support foreign interventions by selfish invaders so as to have the region go through a capitalist "transition" on the road to secular socialism? That's a deluded twist on a familiar theme. You imply the Baathist were mere puppets, phonies, submitting to SArabia. I dont recall their friendship being that close, actually. While the Saddams and Assads and Ghadaffis of the world exercised repressive internal control, wiped out independent Unions, had torture chambers against dissidents,,, one thing they did do was create secular and socialist institutions of health, education, sanitation, infreastructure, resource ownership and development. Now you say "they arent worthy and must be destroyed by foreign invaders" because they "dont support the workers". But, hey, those institutions benefited the workers and farmers and not only raised their standard of living but also their consciousness. Nationalist AND class consciousness, Marxist. Now, when Iraqis, or Syrian or Libyans for that matter, begin to struggle against the repressive national apparatus, do you think they will do it by destroying the infrastructure and institutions that they benefited from? That's what the foreign invaders did,,, as a matter of course,,, to "weaken the regime". They didnt care if the country was crushed into the dark ages, their goal wasnt to build on past achievements, their goal was to save and American lives, crush resistance, control the country and extract the wealth for their benefit. National progress isnt a linear process, whether transitioning from "capitalism" to "socialism", and self determination and prideful achievement cannot be imposed esp by disinterested foreigners. I really dont get you. Obviously you are pissed at the "Arab world" and Islamic rule. But you seem to see as a radical solution, even to the extent of jihadists terrorist tactics amd their foreign paymasters,,,, if only "to get the ball rolling to a brighter day". Is that crazy, or what? [/quote] Aaah the familiar socialism in one country theme, especially peasant societes. It will not work whilst capital is globalising, now matter how many crocodile tears you shed on the world stage. Once the forces of capital were unleashed, the globalising process, a genie that cannot be put away, was set free. Saddam and Ghadaffis major mistake was continuing to ally themselves with the Arab Empire (you aren't going to tell me that both countries abandoned Islam in an act of pure secularism) and and not allying themselves with like forces in countries such as Cuba in a regional bloc. That would have affordrd them some protection and probably delayed the inevitable day when they were eventually absorbed by capital, with less ignominy. The USSR and China are testimony to the bogus socialism in one country myth. As for the Arab Empire of which they continued to participate, this is a shambolic structure which affords no one but a feudal elite any relief, not even the basic modernity that accompanies a societies transition from barbarian to capital. Islam is still barbarian and displays all the naivete of the barbarian in as much as it demands justice whilst engaging in the continued expansion of its brute and backwards social economy. So a resounding YES to the fall of this filthy empire to capital. The sooner the better. I will be dancing with unmitigated joy when the Arab Empire falls to capitalism. As a global humanity, we can then proceed to real progress. Any simpleton who sees common cause with this backwardness is next to bloody useless in the struggle and might as well piss off. [/quote] I couldnt agree more for the Emirates and SArabia even though they have plenty of Capital investment, but contract to Indian and Malay second class "guest" (and US) workers the dirty manual labour of grand construction and military projects -- building a revolutionary class from a managerial aristocracy in a klepto monarchy is hardly a base to achieve much. Syria isnt that way. Neither was Iraq or Libya. Their working class/peasant mix was rather modern, and far from the feudal Islamic system you presume. So wrong again. But when will you recognize it and stop equating these secular societies albeit predominantly Islamic religious societies, with Islamic Republics (of which they definitely are/were not)? And another contradiction: if you want "progress" to global capitalism why support their overthrow by the very backward jihadist Wahabbis you supposedly abhor? It seems you support the opposite of what you say you want... [/quote] We have a similar setup in capitalism with social democrats whom Marx incidentally viewed as obstructiuonists to the expansion of capital and the play out of dialectioc forces. In contrast he preferred the free market. These Islamic "secular" republics simply delay the necessary collapse of Islam and grant it an extension that hampers the development of these peoples. For all their so-called secularism, Iraqis were still a backwards people who saw the world in terms of believers and unbelievers, albeit in a padded cell, at Saddams removal. In contrast, the Islamist revolution in Egypt has opened up a can of worms which threatens to unseat Islam and its sway over these people. Now if Saddam and Assad had said, we are done with Islam and embracing neutral secularism, then one could see that as a positive development. It is not the role of progressives to choose the lesser of two evils but to ensure that all the forces that cause change are given an unfettered play. Whilst I can see why some support limited progress, it achieves nothing in the long term other than to corrupt political awareness. [/quote] The foreign Wahabbi jihadists trained killers also want to get rid of all vestiges of secular social democraticism and the their institutions in the ME -- their interests align with that of big global Capital. Now why would market capitalist "forces" have common interest with these fighters wannabe leaders of a pan Arabic Midaevil Islamic feudal Caliphate? And how would Marx see your support for them as progress? Beats me. The Trot desire for a World revolution makes strange bedfellows, I guess-... [/quote]

Inspired by the previous summer's success of Perry Farrell's Lollapalooza Festival [which had been organized by Bill Graham Presents, the driving force behind Blues Traveler's record and promotional deal], John Popper and Dave Frey called upon their compatriots in Widespread Panic, the Spin Doctors, Aquarium Rescue Unit and Phish (Max Creek was offered a slot as well, but turned it down, according to guitarist Scott Murawski) to band together - literally and figuratively - and fill the amphitheaters with the fans of all bands involved. After originally christening the traveling spectacle "Horizons of Rock Developing East Coast", the vision spread to "Everywhere", and so the name was created.
The first year's festival barely broke even but it was such a learning experience for everyone involved that all but one band would play a part in H.O.R.D.E. in the years to come. Included in this section are the contents of several web pages chronicling the latest-breaking news from H.O.R.D.E.s past, as well as anecdotal histories and pictures generously supplied by friends and vendors who saw the festival grow from eight dates in 1992 to over forty in 1998, its last year of existence. Rumors of a 1999 tour circulated, but as John would later say in the January, 2000 issue of Gig Magazine:
I think the festival tour has gone the way of the dodo. Hopefully we'll get rid of all that nonsense. There's this weird factionalism that goes on. I'm waiting for the All-Filipino tour, y'know? If you must make it all women, you're gonna get good women and bad women. Our criteria with the H.O.R.D.E. tour was all live music - good bands that played well live. Then, there's the fact that people saw the tour last year and they know what it's about so they start getting bored. So they stop selling like they used to. But the key and main reason that festival tours are guaranteed to go the way of the dodo is radio. The KFOG Wacky Weekends-type festival. They buy the best bands with the thing that all bands need, which is air time. No amount of money I could give would be worth more than air time. But young bands especially need to establish something on radio. I think it's a good thing. I think that radio is supposed to do that. H.O.R.D.E. initially was a way for Blues Traveler to play outside in the summer. That was our objective and we pulled it off the first year. The second year we did it again; the third year we actually made, like, $8,000. The fourth year we started making real money, and then it became this source of income, and I see where you wanna keep it going again. But, y'know what? It's something you should never think has to go on forever. As soon as it doesn't make sense, it should be abandoned. What happened along the way was a lot of people got to interact with each other, some great music was made, a great vibe, and we all had a ball. That was completely accidental, and the best thing about it. I take no responsibility for it, and so I don't feel that stopping doing it ruins that - that great vibe will happen somewhere else.

oatmeal. Should have bought it long ago. Nothing sticks."
I would also like a good nonstick pan for daily oatmeal, however I always use a 1 qt with lid and this one has no lid. I also cook small quantities of rice in a 1 qt with lid. Makes no sense to me that this has no lid. The Zwilling Spirit Ceramic 1 qt comes with a lid, but is its nonstick surface inferior?

Tom Sharp makes it two at Brands
Tom Sharp took the field back to school with a dominant performance to make it two wins from the first two races of this year's Ginetta GT Supercup championship.
After winning race one, the confidence shone from Sharp as he made a perfect getaway to hold the lead, there was contact behind with Tom Ingram and Josh Wakefield coming together forcing Wakefield to retire half a lap later with a front suspension failure.
At the end of lap one Sharp was leading from Carl Breeze, Tom Ingram, Fergus Walkinshaw and Andrew Richardson.
On lap six the safety car was deployed for incidents involving Ingram, Andrew Richardson and Marcus Hogarth who all ended up in the gravel trap at different parts of the circuit.
The race was restarted on lap twelve, with Sharp edging out a big lead over the rest of the pack, Walkinshaw pulled off a brilliant move on Breeze going round the outside on Paddock Hill Bend to move up into second place. Breeze was coming under increasing pressure from the rest of the field, being overtaken by Colin White & Hunter Abbott in the early stages of the lap.
In the latter stages of the race the battle for second, third and fourth was hotting up, with White, Walkinshaw and Abbott all in close company with eight tenths of a second splitting the three drivers.
Two laps later a mistake from Abbott into the apex of Graham Hill Bend, allowed Jamie Orton to pass through, dropping Abbott down to fifth.
Reece Somerfield was another casualty of the gravel trap two laps from the end, ending a fantastic race where he was challenging for the lead of the G50 class with Max Coates and Parsons.
As the chequered flag dropped, it was another win for Tom Sharp, Colin White and Fergus Walkinshaw finished in second and third place respectively, with Orton, Abbott and Max Coates rounding off the top six.
The G50 Battle was won by Max Coates, who superbly soaked up the pressure from Ian Parsons in the latter stages of the race, Rob Gaffney completed the G50 Podium and Mark Davies finished fourth.

The average blogger only has two concerns.
The first is obscurity. She is a total stranger in a vast world loaded with people — unknown, inconspicuous, and insignificant. Odd, considering there are so many people online.
But it's a simple law: We all start at the bottom.
One recent study discovered that the average British blogger had only 285 subscribers, received 18 comments a day, and earned about $120 a month.
That's the reward for someone who'd been blogging for two years and eight months. Yes, those surveyed also worked full-time jobs.

By all rights, Iraq should be a world-class oil power in the same league as Saudi Arabia in OPEC. That Iraq isn't owes much to political division and security risks that have kept foreign experts and investment out of the nation's critical oil sector. Now, there may be reason for some optimism. A top Iraqi Oil Ministry official, Natiq al-Bayati, head of contracts and licensing, has been meeting executives from foreign oil majors in the Jordanian capital of Amman in recent weeks. He hopes to hammer out so-called technical support agreements that could improve Iraqi oil output over time.
Differences over payments need to be ironed out. Still, the hope is that by summer's end foreign companies will help renovate rickety oil fields in perhaps the most important development for the nation's oil industry since the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein. "This shows Iraq has turned a corner," says Vera de Ladoucette, Paris-based senior vice-president of Cambridge Energy Research Associates.
True, only now is Iraqi oil production coming back to prewar levels of 2.5 million barrels per day. And Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government still hasn't created a legal framework for exploiting the huge oil reserves that would attract and protect the investments of international oil concerns. So Oil Minister Hussain Al Shahristani has designed the new technical support contracts as an interim step until Iraq is safer and laws governing foreign oil contracts get fully sorted out.
Iraq isn't a hard sell, given its 115 billion barrels of oil reserves. Oil executives say Iraq could pump 6 million barrels per day, which today would make it the No. 2 OPEC player, though well behind Russia. That would require billions in investment. Baghdad's more modest goal of 3 million barrels per day by 2009 would put annual oil revenues at some $110 billion at today's prices. "We find it hard to see a future in which production of these [Iraqi] reserves does not play an important role" globally, says Ian Bromilow, Shell's country chairman for Iraq.
Until recently, oil majors such as BP (BP), Shell, and ExxonMobil (XOM) have kept a low profile. To establish good will with Baghdad, they have flown Iraqi engineers to Amman and elsewhere for training. Now the government wants to go a step further with two-year technical support agreements that will likely concentrate on boosting output at existing wells rather than kick off a massive new drilling program. Monitoring equipment, now mostly lacking, to track production will be installed at the wells—as will improved water injection systems to boost efficiency.
Contracts valued at about $2.5 billion are expected to be awarded. BP is working on Rumailah, a ramshackle field that runs beneath date palm plantations near Basra. ExxonMobil has focused on Zubair, also in the South. Shell is taking on Kirkuk in the North and another field called Missan in partnership with BHP Billiton (BHP). Until security improves substantially, international technicians outside the country will work with Iraqi employees via computer and by phone.
The majors hope that these modest contracts will turn into much larger ones later. Granted, in Iraq things can quickly change for the worse. Now, though, Iraq seems ready to get back into the great global oil game.

Chris Brown may be planning to press charges against the paparazzi who allegedly caused him to wreck his car this weekend, but he won't be claiming any injury — at least, not after his interview with Ryan Seacrest at the Grammys.
"It's cool, I'm fine. Little bit of bumps. I'm good though," Brown said. When asked how the accident happened, he added, "You know. A couple crazy things, you know. paparazzi can tend to get out of hand. It's all good though. No injuries. I'm fine."
As for the black Porsche that was wrecked — Brown says it's no big deal. "Yeah, yeah. I'll get another one. Insurance is good."
Brown, who hit the red carpet without his on-again off-again girlfriend Rihanna, says he digs the Grammys because of their elegance. "Tonight I'm just looking forward to the performances, you know. Lot of great artists here, so I'm just happy to be a part of it. The Grammys always is a great and elegant place to be."
Asked about his favorite artists of the year, he commended Miguel's work. "I think he's had a great and wonderful year. To be from an R&B kind of background, like he's taking that and then he's doing his thing."
As for his own music, Brown admits that he could do better. "I'm hoping it's just real music [that becomes trendy in 2013]. A lot of the music nowadays I love it, but it's very gimmicky. Even with mine, some of my music is gimmicky. But you know I just want to go back to the real music. A lot of instruments, the real band."

Assemblywoman Tenney To Primary Congressman Hanna?
What started out as a 'just a rumor' about New Hartford's Claudia Tenney (R-NY101 Assembly) now seems to be quickly developing into all-out campaign to primary two-term Republican Congressman Richard Hanna, sources say.
Tenney, who is up for re-election in her Assembly District this year, is now said to be in the midst of a petition drive to garner the minimum 1250 valid signatures needed to be placed on the June Republican primary ballot.
"The petitions for Claudia are being printed up as we speak," a political insider told WIBX News this morning. Tenney made her intentions clear to Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long last night, who then announced the news to committee members, according to one person who attended last night's Conservative meeting in Albany.
Polling For Details
Reports that Tenney was conducting a poll that hinted at a potential congressional run were confirmed this morning, after people in this area who received the live polling phone calls in the last few days, contacted WIBX.
Meanwhile, New York Post blogger and former WKTV reporter Pat Bailey was the first to publish Tenney's intentions in the form of a Twitter post last night.
BREAKING–Several sources confirm Asm. Claudia Tenney, R-New Hartford, seeking support to primary Richard Hanna for #NY22 congressional seat
— Pat Bailey (@PB_Reporter) March 10, 2014
Bailey told First News with Keeler in the Morning that Tenney confirmed to him that she is 'compiling numbers in Binghamton' – but, hasn't yet made a final decision. Meanwhile, political sources have told WIBX that the decision really needed to be made by last night, in order to leave enough time to collect the valid signatures required to get on the ballot, before the April 10th deadline. Candidates have been eligible to collect petitions since March 4th.
Tenney's District, one of the longest in the Assembly, stretches from Herkimer and Oneida "I think Claudia does a great job representing the people of her Assembly District, like nobody else can, and I think that's where she should stay… – Joe Hobika, Utica Republican Chair"
Counties, narrowly down into Orange County in Southern New York. Tenney is up for re-election to her Assembly seat in November and would most likely be forced to give up that campaign in order to run against Hanna,
A Good Political Move?
An open Assembly seat at this stage of the game, in the abnormally shaped 101st District, concerns Utica City Republican Chair Joseph Hobika Jr..
"I think Claudia does a great job representing the people of her Assembly District, like nobody else can – and I think that's where she should stay," said Hobika. He expressed concern that with Tenney's exit from the Assembly, the Greater Utica region would be in jeopardy of losing local representation as her seat might be lost to someone from downstate. Hobika went on to say that he feels Congressman Richard Hanna has done 'an exceptional job' representing the 22nd Congressional District, and said it would be a big loss for the area if he wasn't there.
Two additional candidates have declared intent to challenge Hanna in the June Primary. Michael Kicinski, of Earlville, a member of the Norwich Tea Party Patriots, and Michael Vasquez, of Binghamton, an insurance agent, both Conservatives.
Hanna easily beat Kicinski in a primary challenge back in 2012.
Calls to Assemblywoman Tenney and Congressman Richard Hanna have been placed by WIBX today and have not yet been returned.

Tillerson to press NATO on defense spending: official
WASHINGTON U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will press this week for NATO allies to demonstrate a "clear path" to increase defense spending, a State Department official said on Tuesday.
ASHGABAT Turkmen President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov wields almost absolute power in his secretive Central Asian state, but even he could not prevent footage being leaked that shows him falling head-first off a speeding horse.
State media on Monday showed Berdymukhamedov, wearing a traditional white "telpek" sheepskin hat and crimson caftan, riding his horse to a victory - and an $11-million prize - that took his strongman personality cult to a new dimension.
But an unofficial video seen by Reuters shows a man resembling Berdymukhamedov falling from the shimmering straw-colored horse just after they cross the finish line. The rider goes head-first into the track and officials rush to treat him.
There is no suggestion that Berdymukhamedov was badly hurt - he has been shown on state television chairing a conference call since then.
But the embarrassing footage has not been shown by the closely controlled state media in Turkmenistan, and the government and presidential administration have made no comment on the images.
Berdymukhamedov has run the post-Soviet republic with an iron hand since 2006 when his flamboyant autocratic predecessor, Saparmurat Niyazov, died of a heart attack.
Turkmen state television reports have lionized Central Asia's youngest and most sporting leader by featuring him flying in a supersonic fighter jet, riding a tank, shooting an assault rifle and removing a benign tumor.
But the leaked footage of the horse race, watched by thousands of people and apparently shot by someone in the crowd, undermines this image.
Straight after finishing the race, a rider who appears to be Berdymukhamedov shifts in his saddle and his horse stumbles. The rider is thrown over the horse's head and lands ahead of the animal, with other horses narrowly avoiding him as he lies motionless on the track.
Officials in black suits rush out onto the track and surround the rider, who is clumsily lifted into an ambulance.
Some unconfirmed reports have suggested security officials tried to prevent anyone with cameras and video cameras leaving the racetrack with footage or pictures of the fall.
Widely referred to as "Arkadag" (The Patron) at home, Berdymukhamedov has a tight grip on the isolated desert country of 5.5 million people that holds the world's fourth-largest reserves of natural gas.
The 1,000-metre (3,300-foot) race was held on Sunday when Turkmenistan celebrated The Day of the Turkmen Racehorse - a holiday established by Niyazov to honor the local Akhal Teke breed renowned for its speed and grace.
"President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov has yet again demonstrated not only his high class as a horse rider, but also his strong will, firmness and courage," the Neitralny Turkmenistan daily wrote.
It made no mention of the fall.

Because E! believes you can never have too much of the Kardashians, the network's targeting a January 2013 premiere date for the newest series from the 'celebrity' family: Kourtney & Kim Take Miami. According to E!, the family's Keeping Up with the Kardashians seventh season finale was the most watched of the season with 3.6 million viewers – so apparently not everyone is over the Kardashians.
The new series will feature Kourtney, her kids Mason and Penelope, and her boyfriend Scott as they share a Miami mansion with sibling, Kim. Per the network: "After the recent grand opening of the DASH boutique on Melrose in Los Angeles, and the continued success of the DASH store in New York City, the two businesswomen are intent on bringing the DASH Miami boutique up to snuff. In addition to preparing for her The X Factor co-hosting duties, business partner and younger sister Khloé will also visit the city throughout the season to check in on her sisters and make sure her investment in DASH is protected and her opinion is heard. While in Miami, Scott will continue to build his portfolio by exploring the possibility of opening a restaurant there.
Can all three sisters, along with two little ones and Scott, live harmoniously together or is another Kardashian storm about to hit Miami?"

Dark and mystical, "Sneaking Into the Castle" is a great suspense track for all your horror or thriller needs. Imagine, if you will, sneaking around an enchanted, magical castle at night – expecting doom and ghouls around each corner. Heavy in woodwinds, this track is cinematic enough for any dark project – and quirky enough for Halloween.

A COUPLE of months ago, while judging the London heat of "The Art of the MARTini" cocktail competition at the Atlantic Bar and Grill in London, I realised yet again that it's harder to invent a good cocktail than a good dish. The best cocktails have two things in common: balance and simplicity. The mouth-feel of the base spirit is rounded out by tempering ingredients (fruit juice, for example) or simply by intense cold, as in the case of the Martini; sweetness, if present, is balanced out by acidity, and so on.
This effect is best attained with a small list of ingredients, usually no more than five in number. A quick flip through David A Embury's classic The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks (1953) didn't uncover any with more than six, and many of the best - Planter's Punch, most sours, the classic daiquiri - have just three or four.
With food, by contrast, the number of ingredients can be endless, even if the ultimate effect is one of classic simplicity. Take, for example, a proper soupe de poissons or coq au vin. Even with such solidly bourgeois dishes you can - no, you must - spread on layer after layer of complex flavour through the use of a dozen or more components. And by changing the composition with skill, you can vary the basic idea to create, in effect, a new dish.
Most of the MARTini competitors went for knockout dazzle; they did not, it seemed to me, think enough about making cocktails that people would actually want to drink. Their creations often looked wonderful - beautiful colours, ingenious garnishes, artful preparations - or demonstrated clever use of ingredients: the Thai Martini, made by the Cobden Club's Kymmon Hill, mixed vodka with coriander and ginger.
But however impressive in the technical sense, these were not drinks to be sipped till the glass was empty. They were showcases for innovation. I often gave high marks for colour and presentation, but in the "Taste" category my marks out of 10 sometimes got down to zero. Five was not uncommon. The full 10 - never.
I must add immediately that some of the judges, who included people of good sense and immense experience, disagreed with me. But mostly they did not. One of them, Ian Wisniewski, author of Classic Vodkas (Prion, pounds 9.99), remarked at one point: "These people need help." They had all the technical know- how, but in making up something new, they strove too hard for style and forgot about substance.
I put in a brief appearance, a few weeks ago, at the finals of The Art of the MARTini. I was unable to stay for the whole event - probably just as well, given my incomplete mastery of The Art of WALKing by the time I left - but the overall winner was the Atlantic's own Adam Misiura. Here are two recipes to help him along. The daiquiri appeared in this column early last year, and I apologise if you're tired of it. But I'll bet you're not; and if you haven't made it, you're in for a treat. It is the creation of Brian Duell, who worked at Detroit when I served a pitiful imitation of an apprenticeship there.
Second is a mint julep, one of the few Bourbon cocktails I am happy to drink, as I usually like this lovely stuff with nothing more than ice and a little H2O. The mint julep is perfect for summer and easy (if time-consuming) to make. The recipe here is a bastardised version of David Embury's. It is not a bold new invention. It is merely a supreme joy to drink.
Use top-quality rum, preferably a five-year- old anejo. Sugar syrup is made by dissolving the white stuff in an equal volume of hot water and leaving it to cool.
50ml/112fl oz rum
12.5ml/14fl oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
10ml/15fl oz sugar syrup
Put a stemmed cocktail glass in the freezer. When you're ready, put the rum in a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice. Add the juice and syrup, then put the top on and shake until the shaker is arctically cold (around one minute). Open the shaker, take the glass from the freezer and strain the drink into it. Drink quickly, but savour each sip.
This is a heavily simplified rendering; the original recipe takes about 20 minutes to make. To do it properly, use crushed ice rather than cracked; stir for two to three minutes at each stage of churning; and handle the chilled glasses only with covered hands. Even in this form the julep is a lot of work. These quantities make two drinks; no one will need more than one.
2 tall glasses, of around 500ml/16fl oz capacity
1 small glass measuring jug
2-3 full trays of fresh ice cubes
a couple of dozen small mint leaves, stems discarded, plus 2 extra for garnish
30ml/2 tablespoons sugar syrup
4-5 dashes Angostura bitters (optional but delicious)
about 150ml/512fl oz good Bourbon (I use Maker's Mark)
Freeze the glasses and jug for at least an hour. Wrap the cubes in a clean towel and pound them into very small pieces, then transfer to the freezer while you continue with preparing the drinks. Put the mint, sugar syrup and bitters in the jug, and use a long spoon (if you don't have a barman's muddler) to bruise the leaves gently; do not crush hard or there may be bitterness in the drink. Now add 100ml (4fl oz) of the Bourbon and stir just to mix well.
Take the glasses and ice out of the freezer and fill each of the glasses with ice almost to the top. Strain in the mixture from the jug, and "churn" the ice (up and down motion, not stirring) for 30 seconds or so, until the ice has partially melted and settled considerably. Add yet more ice and churn again briefly, then pour in the remaining Bourbon. Give it a final quick churn, garnish with the mint, and relax with your drink.

Nine to 12 month old baby routines
Between nine and 12 months your baby is very energetic and mobile, showing the first signs of independence. Baby now has three meals a day, plus morning and afternoon tea with a drink from a cup. They also need three milk feeds a day, after meals. Give them finger food at each meal, and a spoon to try feeding themselves.
A typical day - around 10 months
- 7.00am Wake, breakfast
- 8am Breast or bottle feed (180 - 240 mL)
- 8.30am Get dressed for the day
- 9 - 9.30am Play
- 9.30 - 11.00am Sleep
- 11am Morning tea and cup of water or diluted juice
- 11.30pm Shopping or play group
- 12.30pm Lunch
- 1 - 2pm Play
- 2 - 3.30pm Sleep
- 3.30pm Afternoon tea and cup of water or diluted juice
- 4pm Walk to the park
- 5pm Dinner
- 6pm Bath, pajamas, play with Dad
- 7.30pm Settle to bed
- 8pm - 7am Sleep (approx. 11 hours).
Baby is now sleeping about 11 hours at night, with two sleeps during the day (one or two hours each). Remember to approach sleep time in a quiet, soothing way (and playtime in an exciting way), so you cue them into knowing what's expected. Giving these verbal and physical messages helps your child learn.
- Your baby may now be more active in sleep. If they wake and cry out, wait to see if they resettle - if not, try to resettle them quickly in the cot.
Playtimes are now very busy - baby will be crawling, pulling to standing and cruising around the furniture. It may be a few more months before they actually walk independently, so don't rush them. (Use soft soled shoes until they're walking.) Their fine motor skills are now well developed - they can pick up and manipulate small objects.
Play ideas:
- An activity board, with buttons to push and interesting sounds.
- Give them a stable push along toy so they can use their legs and gain some independence.
- Go along to a playgroup, as baby now likes being out and about and socialising.
- Cut a slit in the lid of a plastic ice-cream container and give baby plastic pegs to deposit in it.
- Stock a low kitchen cupboard or drawer with safe utensils so they can help themselves.
- Buy baby his first books, if you haven't already (stiff cardboard or plastic ones are best at first).
- Read to baby every day. Point to the pictures and describe them.
Baby-proofing the house:
- Remove all breakables and sharp objects from baby's reach.
- Secure bookcases and curtain rods firmly to the wall.
- Put detergents and chemicals in a high cupboard.
- Buy childproof fasteners for cupboards, safety gates for stairs.
- Use socket protectors or install safety power points.
- Have an electrician install an earth leakage detector.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL. Use only as directed. Incorrect use could be harmful. Consult your healthcare professional if symptoms persist. Panadol is a registered trade mark of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.

"We got plenty of chances all day," Brady said. "We make some good plays and we make plenty of (expletive) plays."
"We had a lot of great opportunities to win the game and win a division title and just came up short. It's just frustrating all the way around. ... It felt like we moved the ball pretty good all day, we just couldn't get enough points on the board. We've got to try to figure out a way to get the ball in the end zone."
Jerry Spar of WEEI.com offers an analysis of Brady's interview on Dennis & Callahan.
Zuri Berry of Boston.com offers his five takeaways from the Patriots-Dolphins game.
In his weekly Patriots stock report on Boston.com Erik Frenz writes that Kicker
Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald writes that it was a bittersweet day for Patriots wide recievers Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, both of which turned in record performances in yesterday's loss.
Jim Donaldson of the Providence Journal notes that with the loss to the Dolphins on Sunday it will be a dogfight for the Patriots to win the division title. If the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens beat the Patriots, and the Dolphins win at Buffalo, then the Pats would have to beat the Bills in the final game of the regular season in Foxboro or have to hope the Jets beat the Dolphins in Miami to once again win the AFC East.

Daphne Buckmaster
Daphne Buckmaster is a fanzine editor originally from London, England, and later Scotland.
Daphne Buckmaster began attending science fiction conventions in the 1940s when she was known as Daphne Bradley. She is noted being the only woman at the convention at the White Horse Tavern in 1948. After her marriage to husband Ron Buckmaster, she was a member of the Woolwich Science Fiction and Vargo Statten Appreciation Society in 1954.
She began publishing her fanzine Esprit in 1954: at first it was intended for circulation in the Offtrails Magazine Publishers Association (OMPA) but with the 13th issue in 1960 she decided to make it generally available. She stated her intentions were:
"...an attempt at the sort of fanzine which I have long waited to see but have never come across - a magazine in which observations, experiences and ideas can be exchanged." Five of the post OMPA issues were released, the last in 1961.
In 1960 she released the one shot zine Hobo, and also began publishing Random, of which three issues appeared, the first in 1960 and the second and third in 1961.
In 1962 she published the one shot fanzine Rackhamart.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
We've all been taught to add more fixed income-securities as we approach retirement. The argument is that stocks are too risky when the time frame for the investment is short, but bonds may actually be the riskier securities unless you are content to hold until maturity. Otherwise, since rates have nowhere to go but up, your bonds will be worth less in a higher yielding environment.
On the other hand, is there anyone who doesn't love quarterly stock dividends? Today's payouts look enormous in comparison with what you can get from bond yields. What's more, dividend checks generally indicate that a company is taking in more cash than it needs.
If you own good companies during good times (which is most of the time), stock dividends can grow, and increasing dividends generally lead to higher trading prices. Even more important: During periodic recessions, well-run companies keep paying those dividends, which makes it easier to control your emotions during those bear markets.
Then there's the tax treatment. Interest from bank CDs or corporate bonds or Ginnie Maes are taxed as ordinary income. For many investors, those rates are 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6%.
Qualified dividends (which include most payouts to investors) get a break, as they're now taxed the same as long-term capital gains. Most investors owe the IRS only 15% on those dividends. The only ones who pay the premium rate of 20% are those with taxable income of well over $400,000, and that 20% rate is still a bargain, compared with their ordinary tax rates.
The lower tax rates on dividends and long-term gains are now a "permanent" part of our tax law, meaning there's no sunset date. These rates have been available to non-corporate taxpayers since 2003 and, with no indication Congress wants to crack the tax code any time soon, probably will be around for years to come.
A 0% tax rate on your dividends
Some investors can pocket dividends or sell appreciated stocks and owe 0% in tax, keeping all the money they get. You might think this applies only to low-income people who probably won't own stocks. But that's not entirely true: In retirement, a married couple might have $80,000 or $90,000 or more in gross income this year and still owe 0% tax on their dividend income
The 2014 tax tables show that the 15% tax rate for single filers goes up to $36,900 of taxable income and $73,800 for married couples filing joint returns. Keep in mind that those numbers are for taxable income, the number you report at the end of your tax return, after subtracting deductions and personal exemptions and non-taxable Social Security benefits and other tax breaks from your gross income..
Seniors without significant amounts of earned income in retirement could easily qualify for the 15% marginal rate – and a 0% rate on dividends and capital gains.
Suppose you are in your late 60s filing a joint tax return with your spouse, with very little earned income except for your Social Security benefits, which you supplement by tapping into savings. Since retirement, you've reported about $50,000 of taxable income each year.
In that case, you could add more than $20,000 of stock dividends to your taxable income this year, and owe 0% in tax. That would be the case in the years to follow, assuming no change in the tax law and no significant increase in your taxable income from other sources. If you are reluctant to own individual stocks, you could invest in a fund (open-end mutual fund, closed-end fund, ETF) that owns dividend payers. Qualified dividends passed through to shareholders get the same favorable tax treatment.
At current yields, you might need a $1 million portfolio to get $20,000 in dividends per year, at a 2% payout rate. With higher yielding stocks, you could get that $20,000 from a smaller portfolio.
As is always the case with equities, losers can be sold to generate capital losses, which can provide tax benefits. Winners can be retained and eventually sold at favorable tax rates—perhaps even zero percent.
There are situations where the 0% tax rate might apply to dividend income even for high-income taxpayers. Say you are helping to support your widowed parent or needy older brother: You might give your relative cash and suggest that he or she buy dividend-paying stocks or funds.
Those equities could provide your relative with tax-free dividends as well as growth potential. In 2014, you can give up to $14,000 ($24,000 as a couple) to as many people as you want without incurring a gift tax. If you want to give a more sizable gift, without incurring a gift tax you can dip into your estate tax exemption, which is now a generous $5.34 million per person. (Anyone considering sizable gifts should consult with a tax attorney.)

im looking forward to it. i support pakistan for obvious reasons of ethnicity, but yo S.A. is tight!
we busy playing against pakistan now we beat them 3-0 in the test series quite badly
we gave them a white wash on the pro action 20 we busy now with the 5 1 days it 1-1 the 1st game we beat them badly but the 2nd game they beat us badly pakistan is not ready for the world cup reason being al za haq is fucking his bowlers up by over working them down here he made a bowler bowl his 10 overs consecutivly the guy was laying on the ground from exaustion & he was dehidrated he couldn't handle the humidity in durban they won the match but you can't mess your players up like that before the world cup we also beat india very badly not so long ago |
i know we got fukd, the again we are not on top form. with players getting clocked for doping or sumin for that matter, we are doing nothing in out favour.
pakistan always comes back though when we need them to fight!!! |
Lets go India!!!
i think the up side is that pakistan got to play with us so in a way it can prepare them properly for the world cup they shouldn't worry too much about winning instead try out all their players so that they can see who's in form give the ones that need rest rest
pakistan is not a team to underestimate if they can get their shit together in time for the world cup what i like most about cricket is that it is so unpredictable evrything must be taken into consideration as much as what it is a physical game it's a mind game our captain is still very young it's going to be a difficult task for him to bring us the cup even though we in good form there is still a bit of a hickup with our lower order batsman but with pakistan & india that just left we getting a chance to iron that out before the world cup begins also we are doing alot of changes in the team to see who's ready to go |
india's batsman were struggling down here but they got the potencial my favrouite would be dravid that man can bat & tenduhka one of the greats
if india wants to win this world cup tenduhka better get his eye in your bowlers are great just the batsman need to do their part |
we just finnished played our 4th game with pakistan & we destroyed them we won them with 10 wickets in hand in 14 overs
this is pakistan's 2nd 10 wicket defeat in the history of cricket |
India Is Gonna Whup On Pakistan And Thats Are World Cup Victory!!!!
Cmonn Now Pakistan Is Gnna Come Back.. Pakistan Zindabad Word To My Freakn Mother Yo...
pakistan lost very badly again to day
they were all out for 150 +/- they only managed to get 1 of our batsmen out they are good teams i don't know how india is doing at the moment it would be nice to know pakistan got a strong team they can bat right down the order they also got good bowlers |

The DNC tonight circulated this note from Pablo Pantoja, who was at one time employed as the RNC's Hispanic outreach director in Florida but has not switched to Democrat, citing "the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today." The change was reported on Kevin Cate's blog.
As we reported last August, Pantoja quit his RNC post, apparently frustrated with the outreach effort.
From: Pablo Pantoja
Subject: From Republican to Democrat
Date: May 13, 2013 5:57:11 PM EDT
Yes, I have changed my political affiliation to the Democratic Party.
It doesn't take much to see the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today. I have wondered before about the seemingly harsh undertones about immigrants and others. Look no further; a well-known organization recently confirms the intolerance of that which seems different or strange to them.
Studies geared towards making – human beings – viewed as less because of their immigrant status to outright unacceptable claims, are at the center of the immigration debate. Without going too deep on everything surrounding immigration today, the more resounding example this past week was reported by several media outlets.
A researcher included as part of a past dissertation his theory that "the totality of the evidence suggests a genetic component to group differences in IQ." The researcher reinforces these views by saying "No one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites, but the prediction that new Hispanic immigrants will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against."
Although the organization distanced themselves from those assertions, other immigration-related research is still padded with the same racist and eugenics-based innuendo. Some Republican leaders have blandly (if at all) denied and distanced themselves from this but it doesn't take away from the culture within the ranks of intolerance. The pseudo-apologies appear to be a quick fix to deep-rooted issues in the Republican Party in hopes that it will soon pass and be forgotten.
The complete disregard of those who are in disadvantage is also palpable. We are not looking at an isolated incident of rhetoric or research. Others subscribe to motivating people to action by stating, "In California, a majority of all Hispanic births are illegitimate. That's a lot of Democratic voters coming." The discourse that moves the Republican Party is filled with this anti-immigrant movement and overall radicalization that is far removed from reality. Another quick example beyond the immigration debate happened during CPAC this year when a supporter shouted ""For giving him shelter and food for all those years?" while a moderator explained how Frederick Douglass had written a letter to his slave master saying that he forgave him for "all the things you did to me." I think you get the idea.
When the political discourse resorts to intolerance and hate, we all lose in what makes America great and the progress made in society.
Although I was born an American citizen, I feel that my experience, and that of many from Puerto Rico, is intertwined with those who are referred to as illegal. My grandfather served in an all-Puerto Rican segregated Army unit, the 65th Infantry Regiment. He then helped, along my grandmother, shatter glass ceilings for Puerto Rican women raising my aunt to become the first Puerto Rican woman astronomer with a PhD in astrophysics (an IQ of a genius as far as I'm concerned). Puerto Ricans, as many other Americans still today have to face issues of discrimination in voting and civil rights.
Regardless of what political affiliation people choose, my respect for some remains. I don't expect all Hispanics to do the same (although I would hope so) but I'm taking a stand against this culture of intolerance.
I am also making a modest contribution (here: http://bit.ly/12uf3g8) to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for the efforts in helping protect the rights of immigrants and civil liberties in general.
With warm regards,

Crazy busy week!
Journaling: Sunday Cathrine had a friend over for a dinner and bike ride. Monday I wrote an article for the newsletter, bustled the wedding dress, steamed the tulle chair bows, and made a Costco run with Cathrine. Tuesday Joseph and David arrived and I had a housecleaning company come in. Wednesday Charlotte and I helped arrange flowers for the centerpieces. Annette and Charlotte went for manicures and pedicures in the afternoon and that evening we went to the temple with Charlotte. Thursday we put up the decorations and moved the potted plants over from the house. Joseph's family helped a lot. Katie baked lots of goodies for us. That afternoon, Charlotte and Joseph had their formal photos at the Rose Garden and in downtown Portland.
Thanks for looking!

Reaction to the death of former U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who died Sunday:
"He was a mentor, colleague and a political institution, and on a personal level, he was my first boss. Sen. Specter did more for the people of Pennsylvania over his more than 30 year career with the possible exception of Benjamin Franklin. He was a champion for veterans across our state and beyond, and will be deeply missed." — Gov. Ed Rendell, who served as an assistant prosecutor when Specter was Philadelphia's district attorney.
"Arlen Specter was always a fighter. From his days stamping out corruption as a prosecutor in Philadelphia to his three decades of service in the Senate, Arlen was fiercely independent — never putting party or ideology ahead of the people he was chosen to serve. He brought that same toughness and determination to his personal struggles, using his own story to inspire others." — President Barack Obama.
"He generated a lot of support and a lot of dissent, but he was unafraid to be held accountable. ... At the end of the day, he was one relentless, unapologetic fighter. Republicans and Democrats may not like how he voted, but they certainly had to respect his mindset." — Former Gov. Tom Ridge.
"Sen. Arlen Specter was a true Pennsylvania institution whose record of fighting for our Commonwealth is unmatched. Senator Specter's contributions to Pennsylvania and the United States will leave a lasting legacy." — Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman Jim Burn.
"A man of sharp intelligence and dogged determination, Sen. Specter dedicated his life to public service and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. His impact on our state and public policy will not be forgotten." — U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who succeeded Specter.
"Arlen was a statesman and a problem solver who was able to work with Democrats and Republicans in the best interest of our Commonwealth and our Country. Arlen fought cancer courageously and his enduring legacy of support for the National Institutes of Health will help countless Americans as they battle cancer and other ailments." — U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.
"Today, Saundy and I join Pennsylvanians in mourning the loss of a dedicated public servant. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sen. Specter's family and friends at this difficult time." — Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Tom Smith, who is challenging Casey.
"He made tremendous and long-lived contributions to Pennsylvania and to our nation. He distinguished himself by leading on criminal justice issues, foreign affairs, and most especially, fighting for advances in health care research. Sen. Specter attacked problems and sought to find consensus for solutions. He cared deeply about his constituents and understood their concerns. He had a brilliant mind and required that those he entrusted be equally engaged in the issues he took on." — U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa.
"Sen. Specter was a man of moderation; he was always passionate, but always easy to work with. I followed him through his previous illnesses, during the course of which he displayed great physical strength and great strength of character. Throughout his life, Sen. Specter fought and won many battles, but this was one he could not win. America is better today because of Arlen Specter." — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
"A legendary figure in his beloved Pennsylvania, Arlen Specter brought his fierce intellect and a prosecutor's drive to countless battles in the Senate. He was a fighter to the end." — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

4. Manchester, England
Average speed: 17.4 mph or 28 kph
Manchester is considering a congestion pricing plan similar to sister city London's. Continued economic growth in Manchester has led to car ownership increasing by 25% roughly every 10 years, its government said. If implemented, motorists could face congestion charges of up to £5 to drive in and out of central Manchester during rush hour. If passed by the government, this system should be in place by 2012. So far, public opinion surveys on the proposal seem split: 53% of those the Manchester Transportation Authority surveyed favored it, while 40% opposed.

HERAT, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Nine Taliban suicide bombers killed themselves and 44 others on Wednesday in an attack on a courtroom in western Afghanistan where 10 of their comrades were on trial, a local official said.
Causing the biggest death toll in a single attack since 2011, the militants, strapped with explosives, stormed the governor's compound in the capital of Farah province, bordering Iran, where the trial was taking place.
Thirty-four of the dead were civilians, the rest Afghan security forces, the governor's spokesman Abdul Rahman Zhwandai said. The Taliban said all 10 of its fighters who were on trial were freed.
"We sent several warnings to those in the Farah government, telling them not to work there," Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi said.
The attack will add to concerns about how Afghan security forces will manage once NATO-led combat troops withdraw by the end of next year.
Farah province, where U.S. and Italian troops are stationed, saw a sharp deterioration in security last year, with increased targeting of government officials and a regrouping of insurgent networks, according to the Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN).
The vast distances between towns in Farah, sandwiched between Helmand and Herat, may allow for more Taliban gains in the near future, AAN said in a report last month.
Civilian casualties in the NATO-led war, now in its twelfth year, decreased in 2012 after rising for five years, according to the United Nations. More than 80 percent of civilian casualties are caused by insurgents.
The last major attack inflicting a high civilian death toll was in July last year, when a suicide bomber killed a prominent anti-Taliban politician and 22 other guests at a wedding in the northern Samangan province.
In December 2011, bombers struck Shi'ite Muslim religious observances in Kabul, killing 58 people in a rare sectarian attack.
