Q. My daughter was just recently diagnosed with lupus. What does this mean for her?
Q. My daughter was just recently diagnosed with lupus. What does this mean for her?
A. This is an excellent question because many people are still unaware of what lupus is and how it affects the individual diagnosed with it.
There is no proven cause of lupus, although evidence strongly suggests that the condition may be genetic. Lupus is when the body begins attacking healthy cells and tissue instead of fighting off foreign substances. In the process, lupus can damage a number of organs including the heart, lungs and brain.
There are four types of lupus — the most common is systemic lupus erythematosus — and symptoms can be mild to severe. Inflammation in the brain's blood vessels, hardening of the arteries and inflammation of the kidneys are a few of the more serious complications of this type of lupus.
Although it's not a preferable diagnosis, lupus is less serious than it was even 10 years ago. Many people with lupus are rarely hospitalized, if ever.
If your daughter has a non-organ-threatening lupus, she can expect to live a normal lifespan and a full, enjoyable life. Some things she can do to help flare-ups and symptoms are exercising, a healthy diet and keeping up with immunizations (people with lupus are more susceptible to infections).
Exercising regularly and eating healthy is a big part of keeping lupus at bay. Swimming, walking, stretching or yoga will help prevent osteoporosis and improve muscle stiffness. There are also certain diets that can help reduce symptoms. Consult your physician before beginning an exercise and diet plan.
Quitting smoking is something everyone should do, but it's especially important for someone with lupus. We all know how bad smoking is for the body, and those risks are raised even higher for a lupus patient, possibly impairing the circulatory system or increasing flare-ups.
The most important thing your daughter can do is follow the instructions of her physician, take her medication as prescribed and have regular check-ups. Help her pay attention to her health and any pain she may have. Your daughter can still have a wonderful and productive life. Lupus doesn't have to dictate that.

This is Labor Day weekend here in the U.S., and annual celebration of the unofficial end of summer, though this is not something I'm that eager to celebrate, recalling how harsh last winter was around here. I'll probably do a little cooking out, but I may have to take it easy on the spiciness, as I made 72 hot wings this week to make use of the chicken wings the doggies didn't eat as I fed them a bland diet for their tummy woes. Now I have tummy woes of my own from eating most of those wings myself over the course of four days, which may have been overdoing it.
Sorry about the late update, I had a little trouble with the administrative interface here this morning.

December 07
Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese in 1941.
|9 – 12
|Calendar Activity Type
|Historical Figure & Event
In 1941, the United States forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, were taken by surprise when Japanese warplanes began to drop bombs on the city and naval base. Hundreds of soldiers and civilians were killed during the raid, and the Navy suffered the loss of a great number of ships and other military hardware. This event marked the American entrance into World War II.
On December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy" in the words of President Franklin Roosevelt, many Americans were called upon to act as heroes. Countless Americans gave their lives in defense of our country and its citizens in Pearl Harbor. Similarly, the surprise attacks on America on September 11, 2001, called for heroic acts of selflessness from ordinary citizens, as well as firemen, police, military personnel, and other government workers. Ask students to compare these two events using the interactive Venn Diagram. How are they alike? How are they different?
How did each event change American citizens' perspectives on war and the need for war? How did the two different Presidents of the United States react? What was different about the media coverage?
The class could be divided into groups to brainstorm various aspects of this discussion and then report back to the class as a whole.
- Teaching With Documents: "A Date Which Will Live in Infamy"
This resource from the National Archives includes the typed first draft of President Roosevelt's War Address to Congress with his handwritten edits. An audio excerpt of the speech is also available.
- Pearl Harbor Raid, 7 December 1941
This page by the Naval Historical Center features a historic overview of the Pearl Harbor raid and its aftermath.
- USS Arizona Memorial: Teacher Tool Kit
This Teacher Tool Kit contains a variety of primary and secondary sources that can be used to supplement your curriculum instruction and offer the most direct explanation of the events surrounding the attack on December 7, 1941.
- Words and Deeds in American History
This page from the Library of Congress includes a copy of the U.S.S. Ranger's Naval dispatch from Commander in Chief Pacific announcing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Grades 5 – 12 | Calendar Activity |  May 28
Memorial Day is observed in the United States today.
Observed on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. In addition to having celebrations with family and friends, many people visit cemeteries and memorials and place flags on the grave sites of fallen servicemen and women.
Grades 5 – 12 | Calendar Activity |  September 11
Patriot Day is celebrated today on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 2001.
Students write about the name "Patriot Day" and how it marks the anniversary of a huge disaster. An alternative assignment could be to ask students to record their reflections about 9/11.

When Raiders running back Darren McFadden suffered a sprained ankle on November 4 against the Buccaneers, the Raiders were tight lipped regarding the anticipated duration of his absence. Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the Raiders expected McFadden to miss 2-4 weeks.
As our friends at Rotoworld point out, this possibly means that the Raiders were less than truthful when they waited until Friday to scratch McFadden from the Week 10 game against the Ravens. (Then again, the subterfuge didn't help much.)
Officially, McFadden didn't practice on Wednesday. (The official report sent out by the league inadvertently omits McFadden; the injury report on the team's website includes him.) Don't be surprised if he misses Sunday's game against the Saints.
And don't be surprised if he ends up on the open market in 2013 without a major contract. Often injured, McFadden maxed out with 1,157 rushing yards in 2010. Though he'll get a chance somewhere (and maybe in Oakland), he likely won't get the kind of money that he wants.
Then again, who ever does?
UPDATE 9:50 p.m. ET: McFadden's original rookie deal goes through 2013. There's a chance the final year is voidable. We're checking.

Barack Obama isn't the first president to conjure up scapegoats to serve his political ends. The Roosevelts, both Teddy and Franklin, were masters at the game. TR decided the trusts were an enemy of the people and busted the likes of Standard Oil and Northern Securities, which controlled the railroads in the northwest. FDR demonized just about anyone who had money.
Harry Truman seized the steel companies to avert a nationwide strike, noting that "the steel industry has never been so profitable as it is today." When U.S. Steel and other large steel producers raised prices, John F. Kennedy chided them for pursuing "private power and profit" at the expense of 185 million Americans.
Sound familiar? Substitute Obama for Truman, and oil for steel, and the tactics are quite similar.
Obama has elevated scapegoating to a new level. He has his usual suspects – the "millionaires and billionaires" who serve as foils at campaign events – as well as temporary targets that come and go as the situation warrants.
For example, insurance companies played the role of villain during the health-care debate in 2009. When it was time to craft the Dodd-Frank financial-reform bill, banks were the bad guys. As for oil companies, they are a permanent pebble in Obama's shoe.
In a Rose Garden speech last week, the president appealed to Congress to "stand with the American people" and vote to end subsidies to the oil and gas industry.
"Last year, the three biggest U.S. oil companies took home more than $80 billion in profits," Obama said before itemizing Exxon Mobil's hourly take-home pay ($4.7 million).
One hour later, Senate Republicans rejected the Democratic measure.
Listen to Give 'em Hell Harry in 1952: "Steel industry profits are now running at the rate of about $2.5 billion a year. The steel companies are now making a profit of about $19.50 on every ton of steel they produce. They don't need this," Truman said of a $3-a-ton price increase.
I agree with Obama that oil companies don't "need" subsidies, some of which have been in place since 1916. But the reason isn't their profitability. It's that preferential treatment creates its own incentives, distortions and economic inefficiencies. Besides, the government isn't good at picking winners and losers. (See General Motors' Chevy Volt.)
What's more, the "giveaways" Obama was referring to are deductions and tax credits available to all domestic manufacturers. Why pick on oil and gas companies, which already pay an effective tax rate of more than 40 percent?
I think we know the answer. First, average gas prices are approaching $4 a gallon, and the presidential election is seven months away. Rightly or wrongly, consumers hold the chief executive responsible.
Second, oil companies have committed the sin of profitability. Does Obama understand that one reason profits are so big is that the companies are big? Other better measures, such as profit margins (net income divided by sales), show energy producers underperforming other kinds of companies. For example, the average profit margin for the six largest U.S. integrated oil and gas companies was about 11 percent last year, compared with almost 14 percent for the Standard & Poor's 500 companies.
There are lots of other industries and special-interest groups that don't "need" subsidies and/or tax breaks. But they have them because of mutual back-scratching by members of Congress, who are much better at catering to their corporate clients than to their constituents.
I would venture to say that if a business isn't viable on its own, it isn't viable. "Need" is in the eye of the beholder, which in most cases is the federal government, aided and abetted by corporate lobbyists helping Congress see things their way.
"Instead of taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's never been more profitable, we should be using that money to double- down on investments in clean energy technologies that have never been more promising – investments in wind power and solar power and biofuels; investments in fuel-efficient cars and trucks, and energy-efficient homes and buildings," Obama said. "That's the future."
He knows this.
Singling out oil and gas companies for punishment may solidify his populist credentials, but Obama knows that repealing $4 billion of deductions is a drop in the bucket compared with an annual $1 trillion of tax breaks and loopholes in the federal budget.
Besides, with Obama it's never really about the cost savings. If it comes down to a choice between good economics and sound policy on the one hand and "fairness" – fairness as defined by Obama – on the other, we know which one our president will choose. At a Democratic debate during the 2008 presidential-election campaign, ABC News's Charles Gibson asked Obama why he wanted to raise the capital-gains tax when history suggested a lower rate brought in more revenue to the Treasury.
"Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital-gains tax for purposes of fairness," Obama replied.
Singling out specific industries as scapegoats for his political purposes doesn't strike me as particularly fair. I guess it depends on what the meaning of fairness is.

The NSW Blues dug deep in the latter stages of #Origin II to win the 2018 series at ANZ Stadium toni...
4 hours ago
Rugby League's new Independent Commission has been tasked with taking the game headlong into a bright new future. Forgive me then if recent occurrences have left myself feeling, well, a little nostalgic more than anything else.
In the last month or so rugby league fans have seen ongoing action on NRL expansion, strong trial crowds, information about an upcoming world cup, the introduction of a finals system that people actually like and serious talks of securing a massive financial windfall via broadcasting rights.
That's right folks, it's time to party like its 1995!
After what many described as the greatest season of Australian club rugby league in '94, the 1995 season of the newly christened ARL competition was shaping up as a beauty. There were new teams, plenty of media interest and a great Tina Turner advertising campaign rebooted.
As any footy fan over the age of the age of ten would know though only a month into the season rugby league's brave new world had come crashing down around spectators foot boots in a maelstrom of lies, greed and bitter personal agendas.
Football clubs young and old were decimated overnight, piles of cash vanished into thin air, terrible jerseys were designed and like any war many years were wasted just rebuilding what once already existed.
Flash forward to the present day and rugby league is once again standing on the edge of a great leap forward. The fans have earned the right to be suspicious of the new commission, especially the power it gives to clubs and how this may relate to the international game. However, if the results of the last few weeks are anything to go by it appears as though the team that has been assembled to lead the charge are working hard to make the fans happy, whilst at the same time giving David Gallop the chance to run free with a purpose he didn't have in the past.
The fans realise that something bigger and brighter is waiting just around the corner for rugby league. The difference between 2012 and 1995 is that it appears as though everyone is singing from the same team song sheet, and that this time the fans might actually benefit from the massive financial injections about to befall the game.
Let's just hope when we wake up on April first this time round, the jokes not on us again.

AURORA, Ore.—Barry alum Taylor Babcock fired a three-under-par 68 to tie SooBin Kim for first place at the Safeway Classic Amateur Open, only to fall in a playoff. Kim, from the University of Washington, won the playoff with a par on the second hole.
Babcock and Kristina Merkle – the 2010 Safeway Classic Amateur Open winner who recently completed her college career Tulsa – earned spots in the Safeway's Monday professional qualifier, giving them the chance to compete for two available spots. The pair will play the qualifier on Monday, August 26th for the LPGA Safeway Classic that will be played Aug. 29-Sept. 1 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.
Babcock's round started as poorly as possible as she hit her tee shot on the first hole out of bounds, leading to a double-bogey 6. She surged back by making five consecutive birdies starting at No. 4.
"It was a great way to just keep bouncing back," said Babcock, a graduate of Lakeridge High School who recently completed her career a Division II Barry in Miami. "You get one birdie, then you say, I gotta get another one. Once I got down to even, I was thinking, I can still get in this."
Kim and Babcock twice played the par-5 18th hole in the playoff, with Babcock making a clutch 6-foot par putt to tie on the first hole. However, she three-putted on the second go-round.

10 motivational movie speeches that will make you move mountains
When you feel like the world is against you
Team America world police – Dicks, pussies, and assholes
When the whole world is against Team America, Gary Johnston uses the wisdom of this great analogy to makes his point to the world.
All kidding aside, this post is about speeches and the incredible effect they have on people.
Great words come from great minds, and our world has been shaped by those great minds. Great minds like Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, JFK, Nelson Mandela have all used the power of the speech to bring change into the world. They used the power of their words to create changes in people's thoughts. They make people believe in a cause, they make people believe in progress, but most importantly, they make people believe in their own abilities to create change.
What is it about their words that hold so much power? Anyone can repeat the same words but no one can get the same reactions. What makes those great speakers so different from us? That is exactly what we are looking to find out.
Today's question: Can great actors speak powerful words and achieve similar results?
Here we have collected a few of the most memorable motivational, and inspirational speeches from recent movie history. The movies range from sports movies like Rudy, to gangster movies like The Untouchables. Each speech was given at a critical juncture in the movie where an important, potentially life changing decision has to be made. Let us look at how the speaker creates the change in their target, and what we can learn from it.
When you feel like quitting
Rudy – Janitor speech
Rudy has worked so hard but his goal of playing football with the Notre Dame fighting Irish seems almost unattainable. He is about to quit the team when the janitor gives him this speech.
The janitor uses his own life experience, and most importantly his own feelings of regret to make Rudy rethink his decision. The fear of regret is one of the greatest fears we can have, and knowing that you could be giving up right before the goal line is enough to keep us going.
When you feel like giving up the fight
The lord of the rings – Sam's speech
Sam and Frodo are deep in Mordor with an impossible mission. They have little food and are surrounded by enemies. Frodo is getting weaker by the day but Sam manages to pick him up with this speech.
Sam uses comparison to give themselves perspective of the situation. He talks about stories they used to hear and how the main attribute of the heroes was that they did not turn back even when they had the chance. They held on to their beliefs and continued to the end. This is Frodo and Sam's chance for greatness and that pushes them onwards.
When someone says you can't do it
The pursuit of happiness – Go get it speech
Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a struggling salesman trying to make it as a stock broker. Here he talks to his son about pursuing your dreams.
Chris Gardner realizes the hypocrisy in telling his son to not pursue basketball because he himself is chasing an unrealistic dream. He knows that he must set a good example for his son and to not give up on his dream. Knowing that his son is learning from him probably helps to push him towards his eventual success.
When all your work seems to be for naught
Karate Kid – Wax on, wax off
Daniel san has been working hard waxing cars and painting fences, but has learned no karate at all. He's had enough and complains to Mr. Miyagi about it. Mr. Miyagi shows him the wisdom of waxing.
This is more a demonstration than a speech. But through a simple exercise of application, Mr. Miyagi shows Daniel san the true purpose of his exercises. Sometimes true wisdom isn't understood until the student is ready to receive it.
When life knocks you down
Rocky Balboa – That's how winning is done
Rocky talks to his son about the hard lessons he has learned in life, and to encourage his son to become great.
Similar to the Pursuit of Happiness speech, Rocky uses his own life as lessons to his son. He is brutally honest with his son and tells him like it is. Our friends may love what we do and who we are, but it is family that will tell you the honest truth. He tells his son that anything great involves great struggle, and unless you're willing to pay the price, you won't get the rewards.
When you've lost your confidence
Swingers – You're so money
Mike has lost all confidence with women since being dumped. Trent gives him the famous "You're so money" speech and gives him some perspective on the dating game.
Instead of listening to Mike bitch and moan, Trent comes in with his frame of mind and forces it on Mike. He exudes confidence that that confidence rubs off onto Mike and makes him believe in himself again. This approach uses a stronger frame of mind to drive out the negative thoughts of the target.
When you think your goal is out of reach
Untouchables – The Chicago way
Eliot Ness (Costner) wants to get Capone (De niro) but isn't willing to play dirty. Malone (Connery) tells Ness that to get Capone he has to do it the Chicago way.
Ness wants something but is restrained by his sense of law and order. This is a case of someone wanting answers when he is not prepared to do what the answer entails. Malone explains it to him that Ness needs to change his restraints or risk losing his goal.
When you need some self belief
Cool Runnings – Pride and power
The Jamaican bobsled team is the laughing stock of the world at the Winter Olympics. Junior is feeling down on himself when Yul brings him into the bathroom so he can take a good look in the mirror.
Similar to the Swingers speech, this one also injects a shot of confidence into the target. Self affirmations have been a useful tool for many successful people to raise their self belief and confidence when needed. Stare into the mirror, and repeat positive statements of confidence loudly and forcefully will usually do the trick.
When you feel like waiting for tomorrow
Dead Poet's Society – Carpe Diem
John Keating (Williams) is an English professor who tries to motivate his intelligent but lazy students to take advantage of the time given to them before it's gone.
Professor Keating's challenge is to motivate rich kids to make use of their advantages before it is too late. He uses the idea of death and the limited amount of time allotted to all of us as his tool. He also aptly chooses former alumni of the school for a comparison between the current students and former students, making the message more powerful.
When doing the right thing seems too hard
Scent of a woman – The right thing
When faced with the decision of ratting out his friends or face expulsion, Charlie makes the difficult decision of biting the bullet. After the decision is handed down, Lt. Col Frank speaks up about the importance of doing the right thing when it's the most difficult.
Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors of all time and shows his skills in this speech. He is not afraid to say anything under any circumstance. He sees the vengeful action of the Dean and uses it to ridicule the traditions of the college. This is an extremely risky move since he could provoke negative reactions from everyone. But his forceful and emotional delivery carries the crowd and the committee is forced to reverse its decision.
Movies not only offer great entertainment, they're also packed with life lessons and tales of success which we can look to when we need that bit of encouragement to keep going. Even though they may be scripted, the motivational and inspirational speeches in movies are well written and well delivered. There is much to learn from them.
We hope you have found what you needed here and use this resources whenever you're in need of a push, or a laugh.

Coffee Keeps Young with Fairtrade and Sustainable Harvest
Keeping the next generation engaged in the coffee sector is one of the challenges facing the industry. Fairtrade International is working with coffee importer Sustainable Harvest and Fairtrade cooperatives to inspire the coffee farmers of tomorrow.
03 January 2014
This article is the second of two featuring stories about how cooperatives and their partners are working to create greater opportunities for youth in their communities. Read the first article here.
It's a poorly-kept secret in the coffee industry that the current generation of coffee farmers isn't getting younger, and the next generation is being drawn away from the coffee farms for opportunities in cities and other industries.
If the coffee sector is going to continue to thrive in the long term, sustainability issues need to be addressed. But this goes beyond implementing new methods of cultivation or adapting to the effects of climate change. Sustainability needs to address the future of the men and women who work on the farms – a fact that Fairtrade International and coffee importer Sustainable Harvest are keenly aware of.
"Coffee is complicated," said Olga Cuellar-Gomez, Strategic Relations Director at Sustainable Harvest. "There are so many challenges and there are not a lot of opportunities to earn a lot of money. I don't think we – and I say 'we' as an industry – are doing a great job of promoting (the fact that) coffee is something you can explore in any profession."
She says the challenge in keeping the younger generation of coffee farmers involved in the industry is showing the wide-range of jobs that can be associated with coffee. From biologists to baristas, Cuellar-Gomez says there are plenty of opportunities in coffee.
"You can create, you can have different things to do – but I don't think we are good at communicating that," she said.
Industry-wide opportunity
One of the key components of selling this message is making all levels of the supply chain aware that coffee needs to be an appealing endeavor if it is going to take hold with the next generation.
"If a young person stays on the farm and they do some experiment; they create a very special coffee, but then the industry doesn't pay for it – what is that?" said Cuellar-Gomez.
To emphasize the importance of getting youth involved in the coffee sector, Fairtrade and Sustainable Harvest teamed up at the 2012 edition of the importers Let's Talk Coffee forum to offer a grant from a newly established Youth Development Fund that supports the development of projects spearheaded by youth in Latin American coffee communities.
The winner last year was the Fairtrade-certified SOPPEXCCA cooperative in Nicaragua for their youth-led eco-tourism project.
"Eco-tourism represents an economic alternative for young people," said Fatima Ismael, the General Manager of the co-op. "[Tourists] can go see how coffee is being processed. We can go visit a farm. We can also see how coffee is being produced, as well as organic fertilizer. In all of these branches of eco-tourism, [the coop's] young people are involved."
Keeping the discussion going
The conversation about youth in the coffee industry continued at this year's "Let's Talk Coffee" forum, which took place at the beginning of November 2013 in El Salvador. A panel discussion took place with a father and daughter exporter duo from Brazil, a mother and son from a coffee producing family in Colombia, and representatives from two American roasting companies.
The discussion showed that the coffee industry is ready to tackle the issue of generational sustainability, but large corporations and coffee buyers need to be part of the process. Governments in coffee producing countries have a role to play as well, especially when it comes to quality education, technology, innovation, and basic resources such as roads, water, and energy.
"How we can convince young people to stay in rural areas when we are not offering all that a city can offer?" said Cuellar-Gomez in an email after the conference. "This is not only an industry concern but a national and international matter."
It's a complex situation which requires many pieces to fit in order to build a sustainable coffee scenario – a goal Fairtrade and Sustainable Harvest support and actively pursue.

A good year for sports
Like most other sectors of the society, Jamaica's sporting arena struggled this year to cope in the extremely harsh economic climate that has afflicted the nation.
But dissimilar to some sectors, our sporting heroes and heroines dug deep into their reserves and produced the goods more often than not, especially when it really mattered.
Our collective nationalistic pride soared, and for that we are eternally grateful. For indeed, our athletes seemed to have used the hardships like the proverbial 'wind' against which they soared to greater heights.
Of course, leading the way was the outstandingly gifted Mr Usain Bolt, who wowed not just his beloved Jamaica in the midst of celebrating its 50th year of political Independence, but the entire world with his unprecedented feat of retaining the sprint double (100 and 200 metres), as well as the 4 x 100m relays at the London Summer Olympics.
All our athletes — including Mrs Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who also retained her 100 metres sprint crown from the Beijing Games four years earlier — our coaches and support staff deserve the highest accolades for an outstanding job.
A few weeks later, at the same venue, the wheelchair-ridden Mr Alphanso Cunningham extended the hype with a superb, personal and regional best performance of 21.84 metres to land gold in the Men's F52/53 javelin at the 14th Paralympics, even as three of his colleagues were denied the right to participate because of a recently introduced quota system employed by the International Paralympics Council.
On the pitch, our cricketers were also in record-breaking form, capturing their fifth consecutive West Indies Cricket Board regional four-day title. Then later in the year a number of Jamaicans, including Messrs Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels, helped propel the West Indies to the Twenty20 World Cup throne — the regional side's first world title since the Limited Overs World Cup triumph of 1979.
Football enjoyed a roller-coaster year in which all age-group teams advanced further on the road to World Cup qualification, including the senior Reggae Boyz, who inflicted a first-ever defeat on the mighty USA at that level.
However, they ended the year in a lull after losing their Caribbean Football Union crown, thus failing to qualify for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the USA in the summer.
Many other sporting disciplines held their own and made the country proud without reaching the dizzying heights of our track and field stars, but no better culmination could have been reached other than one of the most inspirational stories of the year.
In the early morning of Sunday, December 9, Mr Nicholas 'The Axeman' Walters became the first Jamaican to win a world title fight on home soil when he defeated Colombian opponent Mr Daulis Prescott to lift the World Boxing Association Featherweight belt inside the National Indoor Sports Centre.
Mr Walters struggled with adversity to reach the top of the world, from his days training with his father Mr Job Walters on the streets of Roehampton Lawson district in St James.
In those days, his parents said, they were unable to purchase a pair of boxing gloves for their son, therefore they substituted with two orange juice boxes.
From the roadside to the top of the world! That, we maintain, is the stuff of which champions are made. As we approach the new year, we urge our sports administrators to continue to provide the astute leadership necessary, despite the challenges they are bound to face. Their victories are worth much more than triumphing on the field of play.

Sophisticated Spy Tool 'The Mask' Rages Undetected For 7 Years 98
thomst writes "Kim Zetter of Wired's Threat Level reports that Kaspersky Labs discovered a Spanish-language spyware application that 'uses techniques and code that surpass any nation-state spyware previously spotted in the wild.' The malware, dubbed 'The Mask' by Kaspersky's researchers, targeted government agencies, diplomatic offices, embassies, companies in the oil, gas and energy industries, research organizations, and activists. It had been loose on the Internet since at least 2007 before being shut down last month. It infected its targets via a malicious website that contained exploits — among which were the Adobe Flash player vulnerability CVE-2012-0773, affecting both Windows and Linux machines. Users were directed to the site via spearphishing emails."

1. How do you feel about imprinting?
At first I thought it was a little weird. It would kind of be horrible in a way, cos it's like you have no control over who you fall in love with. But at the same time, the people that do imprint would have the most unbelievable connection. So it is actually pretty neat.
2. Does Sam's story make you feel differently about the wolves? Do you feel more compasionate towards them? Why or why not?
I feel a little sorry for Sam having to go through all that alone and stuff. But, I dunno what it is, I just have this dislike for him! But I have to admit, knowing his story and what happened did make me feel a little more compasionate towards him and the other wolves. But I still have the niggling feeling that he just...annoys me!
3. Do you think Jacob was wrong to show Edward the images of Bella while he was away from her?
Yeah a bit, tho I can understand why he did it. It was really really horrible of Jacob to do that, but at the same time, Edward was reponsbile for what Sam saw in the woods etc. So I suppose some folk might say that Edward deserved it. But I think it was nasty!
4. Do Bella's actions towards Jacob (promising to come back when Edward is away, holding hands with him instead of letting him touch her face) say something different than what she intends them to say?
I think she knows she probably shouldn't be doing it, but in a way, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. She has told Jacob many times how she feels, and that they can only be friends, and if Jacob still wants to see her, hold hands etc then, I figure that Bella thinks it's ok. I can see how it must be messing Jake up tho, but if he doesn't want to get mixed messages etc from Bella, then he should tell her to stop it!
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the wolves being able to see each others thoughts, even the most personal ones?
Advantages are that they can communicate with each other when fighting etc. And that they can't hide things from one another, so that there can be no one "not into it" (sorry can't think of the word I wanted lol). Obvious disadvantage is that there is no secrets, especially the things you didn't want anyone to know, and hearing things about the others you didn't want to know!

Twin Cedars jumped on North Mahaska early, Otis Roby pitched a perfect two-and-two-thirds of an inning in relief of Coy Moore, and it will be the Sabers moving on to Des Moines after their 5 – 2 win last night over the Warhawks in the Class 1A Substate 5 final. Moore, Roby and Hunter Embray all singled to begin the ballgame in the first, but opposing pitcher, Trent Roose, limited the Sabers to just one run. Twin Cedars capitalized on a couple of Warhawk errors in the second to score two more, and then tacked on their fourth run in the fifth. Coy Moore was sharp for the most part through four-and-a-third; walking four batters, striking out six, and not allowing a hit until the fifth inning. North Mahaska threatened with the bases loaded in that frame, but Otis Roby came in and shut the door, only allowing a sacrifice fly, and striking out six straight to close the ballgame out for his team. Coach Matt Miller said the fast start was nice, but they should have capitalized more on their opportunities. Twin Cedars' win sends them to the Class 1A state tournament at Principal Park in Des Moines later this week with a record of 35 – 2. This will be the Sabers' first trip to state since 2003, when they played Martensdale – St. Mary's in the first round, and wouldn't you know it, that's who they're paired up against in round one in 2013. The two schools will face-off Friday night with first pitch scheduled for 8:00 p.m.

NEW YORK - The abortion debate is gaining a higher campaign profile this year than in other recent general elections, partly because of divisive ballot measures and partly because of Sarah Palin.
Veteran leaders in the anti-abortion camp say they have never before seen the degree of enthusiasm that greeted Palin's selection as John McCain's Republican running mate. She opposes abortion even in cases of rape or incest, and lived out her convictions by bearing an infant son she knew had Down syndrome.
"We're thrilled," said Karen Cross, political director of the National Right to Life Committee, after Palin was chosen. At the same time, the NRLC denounced Democrat Barack Obama as "the most pro-abortion candidate ever nominated by a major political party."
Abortion-rights groups, meanwhile, are hailing Obama and running mate Joe Biden as staunch allies and denouncing the GOP ticket. NARAL Pro-Choice America reports a surge of donations and volunteers since Palin's nomination and depicts the GOP platform as "the most anti-choice ever put forward."
The battle lines extend to South Dakota, Colorado and California, where voters on Nov. 4 will decide the fate of abortion-related ballot measures. Colorado is also shaping up as a swing state in the presidential race.
The California measure, similar to proposals defeated twice before, would require a 48-hour waiting period and parental notification before minors could obtain abortions.
The other measures are far more sweeping. South Dakota's would outlaw abortions except in cases of rape, incest or a serious threat to the mother's health; Colorado's would define human life as beginning with "the moment of fertilization" — a clear challenge to abortion rights.
Leslie Durgin of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains said abortion-rights groups believe they can defeat the Colorado measure if they can explain its ramifications to voters. The anti-abortion movement itself is divided over the amendment, with the National Right to Life Committee and Colorado's Roman Catholic bishops declining for strategic reasons to endorse it.
The bishops said the measure could be thrown out in a legal challenge that would only serve to reaffirm the right to abortion.
In South Dakota, the vote on the abortion ban is expected to be close.
In 2006, voters there defeated a more sweeping ban — with no exceptions for rape or incest — 56 percent to 44 percent, and anti-abortion activists say they believe the new version will prevail. Their long-term goal is to trigger a legal challenge of the ban that would reach the U.S. Supreme Court and give it a chance to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling establishing a right to abortion.
Leslie Unruh, leader of the pro-ban campaign, said she and her colleagues in South Dakota were elated by McCain's choice of Palin.
"Baby Trig put a face on what we've been trying to say," said Unruh, referring to Palin's infant son. "There's never been a role model for us as well-known as Sarah Palin."
Another opponent of abortion, Connie Mackey of the Family Research Council, said Palin offered a potentially invigorating contrast to politicians who lent only rhetorical support to the anti-abortion cause.
"The pro-abortion contingent didn't think there would be anyone this high profile who'd not only talk the talk but walk the walk," Mackey said.
Organizers of upcoming anti-abortion initiatives hope the Palin phenomenon will fuel enthusiasm and bigger turnouts.
"There's an electricity in the air," said Maureen Flynn, head of the Oct. 5-13 International Week of Prayer and Fasting. "Sarah Palin has totally energized women all over the country."
However, abortion-rights activists say Palin may fail to draw independent, undecided female voters to the GOP ticket if they become convinced that the Alaska governor favors stripping women of their right to decide for themselves on abortion.
"Palin is a problem for McCain," said NARAL's president, Nancy Keenan. "She is not talking about women's freedom of choice and right to privacy. Neither she nor McCain are raising it because they know America finds their position to be extreme."
Anna Greenberg, a Democratic pollster, said Palin's nomination will energize religious conservatives and raise the prominence of abortion in the campaign. But she, like Keenan, said the issue could be more troublesome for the Republicans than for the Democrats.
"If you look at the swing vote, it's not a very socially conservative vote," Greenberg said. "For college-educated suburban independents, Sarah Palin embodies something they're not comfortable with."
Thus far in the campaign, abortion-rights supporters are pleased by Obama's approach. He has defended Roe v. Wade and recently aired radio ads in some states criticizing McCain's opposition to abortion.
Obama "has been absolutely on target," Keenan said. "He doesn't avoid the issue."
He did, however, raise eyebrows last month at a nationally televised religious forum when he said it was "above my pay grade" to say when is a baby entitled to human rights.
Asked on Sunday whether the answer was too flip, Obama said: "Probably. ... All I meant to communicate was that I don't presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions."
Conservatives also have assailed Obama for votes cast while in the Illinois Senate against a requirement that medical care be provided for any fetus that survives an abortion. Obama says he opposed the provision because of technical language that might have interfered with a woman's right to choose and because Illinois law already required medical care in such situations.
The extent to which abortion will become a pivotal issue in swing states like Ohio is an open question.
"Palin resonates on the pro-life side — they were lukewarm about McCain and now they're excited," said Ohio State University political science professor Paul Beck.
"But most Americans are ambivalent about abortion," he said. "They don't like it, but they also don't like what has to be done to eliminate it, outlawing it entirely, denying women the ability to make these choices for themselves. Most Americans are perplexed. It's a difficult issue."

Deadpanned Dusty Sets Sights On Pittsburgh
Chad Paronto: "You've got incredible hair – we all know that. I've heard through the grapevine that you like to wash your hair with assorted berries, lemon juice, and natural rainwater. Is that true?"
Dusty Brown: "Absolutely true. When you've got a head of hair like this, you have to take care of it as best as possible. And what better way than natural juices and berries and such."
–Excerpt from a "Hangin' with Chad" interview on PawSox.com. You can watch it here.
After spending the first 10 seasons of his pro baseball career in the Boston Red Sox organization, catcher Dusty Brown signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a minor league free agent last December. So naturally, when I caught up with Dusty recently at spring training, I had to know if the Pirates' clubhouse had all of the necessary hair products for his flowing locks.
"I've been having to go a little bit au naturel," Brown deadpanned. "They've got the Pert Plus assortment going on, but if I happen to make the team, I'll make sure they take care of that."
Dusty's dry sense of humor will be missed in Pawtucket this year – not to mention his playing ability.
Although he had an injury-plagued season in 2010, Brown still earned two call-ups to Boston where he went 3-for-12 (.250) in 7 games. But even though the Red Sox have unproven Jarrod Saltalamacchia slated to be their starting catcher this year, Dusty decided it was time to move on.
"I went with Pittsburgh because it was my best opportunity to make a big league team," Brown told me. "Really, that was the biggest factor. I had quite a few offers to choose from and I thought this was my best shot."
Brown was a 35th round draft pick by Boston in 2000 and began playing minor league ball at the age of 19. He spent part of four seasons with the PawSox (2007-10) and made his big league debut with the Red Sox in 2009.
"I've really spent all of my adult life with the Red Sox," Dusty said. "Boston was a first-class organization the whole way and I enjoyed all of my time there. I would have liked to have seen things work out a little differently, but the time that I spent in Boston over the last couple of seasons is something that I'll never forget, and being able to play at Fenway Park is something that not a lot of guys get to do. Even though my time there is done, I'm glad that I got to experience it."
Brown is batting .321 this spring and appears to have a legitimate chance to open the season with the Pirates. Chris Snyder is Pittsburgh's projected starting catcher, and the team is reportedly trying to trade Ryan Doumit. Dusty is battling for a roster spot with Jason Jaramillo.
"It's a weird situation right now," Brown said. "They're not sure how they're going to make up the bench. They might carry three catchers, they might trade Doumit, so there are a lot of things that might happen between now and the start of the season. It looks like I have a shot and I'm just going to go out and play my best and see how everything falls into place."
It will be strange not to see Dusty in Pawtucket this year, along with his wife Jordan and their son Jude who was born in July of 2009.
"(Jude) is awesome," Brown said. "He's enormous and getting bigger every day. He's a giant. He might be able to take you in a fight right now…and he's only 19 months old."
Like I said, Dusty has a great dry sense of humor.
At least I think he was joking.
I'd love to hear from you. The address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

All 4 of the SCCC cemetery caches in Benton have been muggled in one day. They were each found on Saturday and all missing on Sunday. Any suggestions on what I should do? I don't want to put out 4 more decon boxes just to have them go missing again.
All 4 of the SCCC cemetery caches in Benton have been muggled in one day. They were each found on Saturday and all missing on Sunday. Any suggestions on what I should do? I don't want to put out 4 more decon boxes just to have them go missing again.
Sounds like someone does not like cemetery caches, or needed some decon boxes. I would make them all micro's, change the location if possible, and make them harder to find. Not to many people will steal film cans, but there are always exceptions to that. If they come up missing you haven't lost anything. Just keep getting smaller if they continue to disappear.
That kind of report is so disturbing to the geocaching community. I don't know what to tell you except some geocachers put out caches and make them accessible only to Paid Members for that very reason.
Of course thieves will be thieves and even the best locks want keep out the very determined.
Or like Cachemates says just put them in film canisters. That sounds like the best idea to me.
my son and i found all four of those caches saturday!! and one was hidden really well...hard to believe it was muggled. i assure you, we replaced all four just as we found them.
Man, how frustrating is that.
This was not an accidental muggle. Someone purposely downloaded the coordinates and went out and stole them. I'm sure if he/she is watching this thread he/she is getting a kick out of it.
There is one other possibility however. Someone very new to the game thinks the object is to find and keep the cache container. Highly unlikely IMO.
"Honey, we're not normal people. We're the Griswolds. "
I found all four of these a few weeks ago myself. I agree that either someone wanted the decon containers or, imo, it seems like someone doesn't like cemetery caches. Either way -- it bites. Sorry to hear about it. I still think it's a fun series and wouldn't want others to miss out so I would encourage you, like the others did to go smaller.
Thanks for all the advice & encouragment. I think I will archive these caches and start all over. I plan to replace each one with a micro in a different location. So I think I will just make them brand new caches. We'll see what happens.
I suggest you replace the caches with non-micros (to be consistent with your original intent), maybe put them in a slightly different spot (new coordinates), and re-classify them as Premium Members Only caches. That way, only serious cachers will have access to their location. -- ORR
"Wildness is a necessity." -- John Muir
"I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth." -- Steve McQueen
you could also make them all puzzle caches.

There will be a starting editable template tag(s) and an ending template tag(s) that will need to be removed (probably more than one, probably many):
Not sure on CS3, but it will be something like this:

The editable area in the page

The area between the tags are editable. Remove all instances of these and it should be free from the template.
ADDED: In CS5, you can select Modify/Templates/Detach from Template which removed the template objects. I don't know if it's the same for CS3, but seems I remember something similar.

I get a message that Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is not responding.
Not sure if this is related to Templates.
Can you open child pages in Code View but not Design View?
If yes, try turning off Display External Files from your View menu.

I can't open the page at all. When I click on it to open, it just cycles for quite a long time and then I have to go to Task Manager to see that it is not responding and End Task.
4. Re: Need to Detach Template in CS3polar_bare May 3, 2012 5:30 AM (in response to MGW6260)
If this page is live, can you provide a link to it so we can look at it.
Another alternative is to open the page in notepad (I prefer notepad ++) and remove the template objects. You could then paste it into code view in DW.

Here is a link to one of the pages: http://trinityumcpt.org/
All of the pages that are linked in the left side banner were also created from the template that is causing the problem.
6. Re: Need to Detach Template in CS3mhollis55 May 3, 2012 10:19 AM (in response to MGW6260)1 person found this helpful
I got a website a little while ago that had templatted pages where the template itself was not uploaded to the server.
Additionally, the author had used template nesting (very bad) to do the job.
I was absolutely hosed. Couldn't edit large portions of the pages, couldn't edit non-editable areas, save in BBEdit (which I use lots for workaround stuff and file comparison).
Here's what I did to solve the problem:
While you cannot edit non-editable regions in Dreamweaver, you can open a new page and copy code (that is grayed out because it's not editable). If the page isn't opening in Dreamweaver, open it online and look at the source code in your web browser.
Copy all code, taking out all of the comments that keep you from editing non-editable regions. Make sure your links to style sheets are good.
That will serve as your master page and I always save them both as a master page and also as a template, defining editable regions as I need them.
Now, you have a template that works. And it should not take long to reproduce the rest of the pages if they are all based on that template.
7. Re: Need to Detach Template in CS3polar_bare May 3, 2012 10:29 AM (in response to mhollis55)
I am not seeing anything in that file that would say it is based on a template. I see no template regions listed, off course that doesn't mean that it is not.
One thing you should correct is about line 222:

be more like this:

 remove the p tag
ADDED: If you can open a local copy of that file in a text editor, save it with a different name (so you have a backup) Copy all the text from the text editor then open DW and create a new document, paste the text file into the new document in code veiw and save that file over the problem page (save as with the same file name) and see if that fixes it. I have had a similar problem before and this is the way I fixed it.
8. Re: Need to Detach Template in CS3Nancy OShea May 3, 2012 11:02 AM (in response to MGW6260)
That's not a Template driven page. There are no editable regions anywhere on that page. Soooo.... you have other problems.
In looking at your code, I see you have a FaceBook badge. This is a known problem lately.
Like I said before, Open Dreamweaver. Turn off Display External Files from the View menu.
Or, open your problem pages in your favorite plain text editor. Remove the FB Badge code entirely or comment it out like so:

After that, you should be able to work with pages in DW.

Thank you so much! This really helped me out. Turning off the external files allowed me to open the pages. I will also comment out the Facebook badge and read up on this
problem. I really need to upgrade from CS3, but am still very much a novice user.

Had Mcgrady gone to Chicago in 2001, how good could the Bulls had been?
Let's say he knows about Grant Hill's injury and thus he probably doesn't sign in Orlando.In the summer of 2000, McGrady was feted at his gate by the Luvabulls, a band playing "Sweet Home Chicago" and Benny the Bull. All they were missing were some fire-eaters and snake charmers. And, oh yeah, a shot at landing him.
At the time, the world at his fingers, McGrady all but patted Krause on his melon and went about his merry way to Orlando, where he joined Grant Hill as a powerhouse duo that accomplished absolutely nothing in their tenure, aside from saving millions in income tax.
This means the Bulls don't have Ron Mercer, but rather Mcgrady to pair with Elton Brand who was a 20 and 10 player and a 2nd year Artest and Brad Miller.
Lineup would have been something of the following:
PG Bryce Drew
SG Tracy Mcgrady
SF Ron Artest
PF Elton Brand
C Brad Miller

Listen, I don't quite get the whole zombie mania; give me a moody, tortured werewolf any day.
But the people have spoken, and they love their spooky guys with decaying flesh and a taste for brains. If you're on board with the whole zombie thing, check out tomorrow's downtown Zombie Walk, brought to you by the Springfield BID.
The walk (really, probably more of a stagger) begins at 3 p.m. at Stearns Square and ends at Court Square, where organizers promise food, music and (gulp) "zombie-related games." Participants are invited to dress like zombies and will get discounts at downtown restaurants. And just to show that the walking dead aren't all bad, attendees are asked to bring cans of zombie blood (a.k.a. tomato sauce), which will be donated to Friends of the Homeless.
Click here for more details—and here for a list of even more upcoming zombie events throughout the Valley.

I've actually been a member for almost a year now, but haven't formally introduced myself in this thread yet!
So, I'm a swedish hanger, one of what seems to be very few around here. I have however managed to convert quite a group of people so far, mainly family and friends, but like rings on the watersurface - I expect it to spread further out, given some time!
And the DIY bug seems to grow too. Imagine this: 3-4 tough, tattooed men sitting around the kitchen table talking about sewing machines and stitching techniques - drinking tea, smiling. Those who haven't got the bug yet, thinks we lost it. For good this time.
Anywho, my "quick" intro as to how I started hanging in the first place:
I was actually looking to buy a tentcot to bring with me while out riding my Honda Transalp. In researching what would suit me, I stumbled across a thread over on Advrider.com - "Tenthammock superlinky". By finding info on the Eureka Chrysalis there, I followed the tracks here and was subsequently blown away, as so many before me..!
Guess I started in the "wrong" end though, as I'm currently preferring my TW (gathered end) hammock over the Chrysalis I bought, and the Chrys wasn't cheap. At all.
Now, just let me finish by saying that I've been well looked after here on HF! For example, someone anonymously donated a years membership when I couldn't afford to!
That's simply amazing, and I intend to do likewise to someone else whenever I get my finances in order again!
This became quite a long intro, but that's just me being me - can't seem to keep my posts short... My apologies to whoever hates reading long rants
Cheers from Scandinavia!! / SwedeMix
Edit: Got carried away with the smilies, that happens sometimes..

Also, status ailments such as "curse" or "poison" seems to take priority over "death" or "barely alive" in combat prediction, so against such enemies you will never actually receive the big red warning that you're about to die (or expend a DP).

The Ed and Ruth Lehman YMCA's farm in Longmont is usually filled with children, but Tuesday the gardens were filled with visitors from YMCAs across the world.
The Longmont YMCA showed off their farm and multicultural programs to about 50 YMCA staff and members from more than a dozen countries, who were part of the organization's 18th World Council.
The council, which began June 29 and is being held in Estes Park, occurs every four years and has not been held in North America since the 1980s, according to staff and the Longmont YMCA.
A German man shook hands with the director of a YMCA in Korea and taught one another how to say "good afternoon" in their respective languages.
Japanese and Irish visitors salivated over churros, also called Spanish doughnuts, that were offered as snacks when the visitors arrived.
Miles McGaughey, the grounds director and resident beekeeper for the Longmont YMCA, gave a presentation about beehives in Spanish to a group of visitors from South America.
Guests from the Philippines, Brazil, Uruguay, Vietnam, Zimbabwe and across the United States took home a sample of honey from the hives at the Longmont YMCA.
It was a rare opportunity for the Longmont facility to show off its farm, which is the largest YMCA garden in the United States, said President and CEO Noel Brendefur.
The tidier-than-normal garden had stations set up for visitors to hear about programs offered at the YMCA, like McGaughey's bee program or partnerships with community organizations.
Multicultural programs that cater to Longmont's Latino population were also on display during the presentations, said Board Chair Meca Delgado.
"We're one of 26 Global Centers for Excellence in the nation," a designation given by the YMCA to organizations that embrace diversity, Delgado said.
About 55 of the council participants also visited the YMCA of Boulder Valley Tuesday to learn about the center's summer camps and collaboration with area schools.
Andra Coberly, spokeswoman for the YMCA of Boulder Valley, said these visits give Colorado's YMCAs an opportunity to tout the attributes that make them unique within the global organization. And for Boulder Valley that is connecting with their neighbors.
"I think one of our goals is to show how much we reflect our community and how much we put ourselves into our schools and integrated into our community," Coberly said.
Staff from the Longmont and Boulder Valley YMCAs have been attending sessions in Estes Park since the conference began, searching for ideas about new programs and learning from other facilities around the world.
While YMCA programs were the focus of Tuesday's visits, staff and visitors said, spending time with the diverse group was an exciting and rare experience.
"It's not just about the presentations," Delgado said. "It's just incredible to be surrounded by so many different people. It's really a special experience."

She says for a minimum donation of $20, this Saturday Dance Team members will rake area residents' yards while dressed in "costume." Beghtol says the fundraiser is a "green" solution to using leaf blowers and other machines, and donations larger than $20 are gladly accepted.

A More Sustainable Grinnell
Keeping track of nearly twenty local environmental groups can be difficult for the sustainability-minded student.
The student-led A More Sustainable Grinnell conference is designed to help.
The conference will provide information about the environmental history of the College, our sustainability plan, the dining hall and Real Food Challenge, and several different environmental groups.
The campus sustainability conference will be held at 1–3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, in Main Quad. The event is free and open to all Grinnellians, including college and community members. Participating groups will be providing potluck-style snacks.
The organizers, Stephanie Porter '14 and Carissa Shoemaker '14, say they are trying to bring "order, cooperation, and cohesion to the environmental groups on campus." They've lined up speakers and invited environmental campus groups to give a quick overview of their project and prospects.
Highlights include:
- Chris Bair '97, environmental and safety coordinator, will present the environmental history of the College, including what Grinnell's been working on, what's been tried, and what's feasible.
- Liz Queathem, senior lecturer in biology, will talk about the Sustainability Plan — what it is, who's been working on it, and what it involves.
- Porter and Shoemaker will present the dining hall's perspective, followed by Madeline Warnick '16, a student evaluating Grinnell as a part of the Real Food Challenge.
- Campus environmental groups will present on their projects and plans.
Community organizations, including representatives from Imagine Grinnell and Poweshiek CARES, are also invited to participate.
"At the end," says Porter, "we will break into action groups on energy, water, food, and waste to come up with concrete steps for the future."

Pesticide Action Network Updates Service (PANUPS)
The non-selective herbicide paraquat is sold by Syngenta and other producers in more than 100 countries. Gramoxone(TN), manufactured by Syngenta, is the most common trade name for paraquat. Paraquat is extensively used on bananas, cocoa, coffee, cotton, palm oil, pineapple, rubber and sugar cane, both on plantations and by small-scale farmers.
Paraquat has been heavily criticized for the adverse impacts on workers since the 1960s. Globally, workers and farmers, who are regularly exposed to paraquat experience serious problems with their health. Paraquat is an extremely hazardous substance: it has been known to damage the lungs, heart, kidneys, adrenal glands, central nervous system, liver, muscles and spleen, causing multi-organ failure. The herbicide causes severe acute and long-term health problems such as severe dermatitis, second degree burns, nosebleeds, rapid heart rate, kidney failure, and respiratory failure. Some chronic effects have also been identified: an association with developmental and reproductive effects, as well as links to skin cancer and there is mounting evidence linking it to Parkinson's disease. The high toxicity and lack of antidote leads to serious ill health, and even death, from exposure.
Studies have also indicated that paraquat has lethal effects on hares and birds, and is embryotoxic and teratogenic to frogs. It poses a risk to non-target terrestrial and aquatic plants, and readily binds to soil particles and hence accumulates in soils.
Due to these facts the notorious occupational poison paraquat has been on the PAN international list of "Dirty Dozen" pesticides since 1985.
Conditions of use and realities in developing countries of the South -- high temperature and humidity, lack of protective clothing, leaking knapsack sprayers, illiteracy, lack of facilities for washing, or medical treatment, and repeated exposure -- compounds the concern that safe use of paraquat is not possible in these countries, in spite of "safety" claims by the industry.
"Last year Malaysia was the first Asian country to ban and phase out the use of paraquat. To prioritise global protection of human health and the environment, a worldwide ban of the toxic herbicide paraquat has to follow now," asserts Sarojeni V. Rengam, Executive Director of Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Asia and the Pacific.
Unfortunately, the EU decided in October 2003 not to ban paraquat. The European Commission is aware of the dangers of paraquat, but nevertheless approved its use, ignoring the growing number of member states who openly rejected an EU-wide approval of paraquat, postponing a vote at the last four committee meetings. PAN has emphasized that this controversial decision was made in the European context, and therefore cannot have any implication for other regions, especially developing countries.
On November 24, 2003, PAN Europe, PAN Asia and the Pacific and the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, sent an official "Open Letter" of protest to the European Commission calling on the Standing Committee to take urgent action following the inclusion of paraquat to the Annex 1 of the Pesticides Authorization Directive 91/414. The Commission's authorization of 3 October 2003 is being used to challenge regulatory decisions taken to protect human health in other countries (particularly in Malaysia), and to demand registration even when local conditions will pose significant risks to pesticide users.
Due to the serious health and ecological threats from paraquat use, on the occasion of the global "No Pesticide Use Day" December 3rd, the international Pesticide Action Network (PAN) demands that:

The Bottle Rockets have been entertaining for two decades and have many fans in the area, but I know too little about the band to write more. The Woodbox Gang is a whole other story. It has been my privilege to observe the band since the beginning. One of my poems was included in the Woodbox Gang CD, Showdown. Showdown is no longer available.
