Jonas Brothers Want To BUY Marion Davies Beverly Glen Area MANSION
Jonas Brothers are hoping to purchase the Beverly Glen area home of late silver screen star Marion Davies, reports PR Inside. Pyschic Kenny Kingston insists that the estate comes with an eerie past, including high-profile affairs, illegitimate children, outrageous parties and a mysterious fire which almost wrecked the place 20 years ago:
'I've visited that home and it's frequented by spirits, good and bad. [Marion Davies lived there and Joseph Kennedy had an affair with both her and Gloria Swanson there.] The house has a history of bad health and, therefore, the Jonas boys will need to guard their health in this house. The place should be blessed before they move in.'
The brothers have reportedly already bought Armani Casa furniture for theirnew pad, which sits across the road from the family's existing compound, even though the sale has yet to go through. The boys have reportedly hired top house designer Kenneth Bordewick to advise them on the decor. Sources claim Bordewick has already taken a walk around the grounds.
From Deco Films: It's either one of these houses. This first house is located at 1700 Lexington in Beverly Hills. It was the first home Marion occupied when she moved to LA. The second one is located at 1011 Beverly Drive and is shrouded in trees on a hilltop. The driveway is a sharp uphill slope with the pool going up the side of the hill in three layers. The Bodyguard was filmed here.

A record 129 films are set to be screened at this year's Heartland Film Festival--none of which I've seen yet. So it would be silly to try to guess now which ones will be the cream of the crop.
I can, however, tell you a few that I'm looking forward to checking out after hearing of the list, which was announced earlier tonight.
They include:
--"Much Ado About Nothing." What makes this Shakespeare adaptation different then others? The cast and crew is made up entirely of students at a Salt Lake City High School. I'll take a chance on guts like that.
--"Little Red Wagon." The latest from "Hoosiers" director David Ansbaugh concerns a real-life kid who became an advocate for the homeless.
--"Janie Jones." It's got Abigail Breslin in it. And the kid's got a very solid track record so far.
--"The Redemption of General Butt Naked." Yes, it sounds like a Fringe Fest play, but this could be fascinating. The documentary concerns a Liberian warlord responsible for the deaths of thousands who has renounced his past and attempts to spiritually guide the former child soldiers who killed for him.
--"Zero Percent." This doc goes inside the walls of Sing Sing to examine inmates participating in a college program. Harry Belafonte, Warren Buffett, and Ice-T are among the outsiders interviewed.
--And, of course, there's opening night film "The Way," with appearances by Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez.
That's just the beginning. More details on the whole schedule here. And watch for my recommendations--based on actually seeing the films--in IBJ the Monday before the fest, which runs Oct. 13-22.
Your thoughts?

ClassDirect Live (Lloyds Register) has published a warning that leakage from the main and auxiliary diesel engines fuel systems has resulted in a number of recent machinery space fires. The causes have been identified as loosening of threaded plugs in engine fuel delivery systems, resulting in a spray of fuel igniting on contact with the exhaust manifold or turbocharger casing. Any leakage of fuel is a potential fire hazard and crew should inspect fuel systems on a regular basis. Particular attention should be given to the tightness of connections and more specific checks depending on the type of any plugs fitted.
2. Plugs in low pressure fuel pipe lines from the booster pump, which are fitted for a variety of reasons, e.g. for bleeding purposes. It is important that proper care is taken when fitting these plugs and they should be secured by fitting a locking device.

text: Hello, New here but I just made an account on here to pose these couple questions: Anyone ever bought someone's entire beer cellar? If so, what was the experience like? How did you determine value and come up with a figure? I ask because I ran into a fella looking to unload much of his cellar and I have never been good at holding on to beers for long enough to cellar anything so I am considering building a cellar this way. There are about 150-175 bottles (there are a lot of Hill Farmstead and the rest consist of a few Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, Tired Hands, Bruery, Casey, BCBS, SARA, and so on). Unsure how to approach making an offer. I assume I cannot afford to buy them all especiallu based on what secondary market values I can locate. Any advice would be appreciated. Feel free to PM rather than post in the thread even if you only want to hurl abuse or give me crap for for being a new kid. Cheers!


text: DigitalFacebook sets $28-35 price range for IPO, valuing company at up to $96BBy Brittany Darwell|May 3, 2012 ShareBy Brittany Darwell|May 3, 2012 ShareFacebook today set the price range for its initial public offering at $28 to $35 per share, which would lead the company to raise between $5 billion and $6.3 billion, at a valuation up to $96 billion, according to an updated S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.This would make Facebook's the largest IPO of any tech company. Google was valued at $23 billion went it went public in 2004. Facebook estimates net proceeds of about $5.6 billion, assuming an initial public offering price of $31.50 per share, –the midpoint of the price range — and after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses.Facebook says 180 million of the shares in its offering would come from the company itself. The remaining 157,415,352 shares being sold will come from founders, employees and investors. CEO Mark Zuckerberg will exercise stock options with respect to 60,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and will offer 30,200,000 of those shares as Class A common stock in the offering — worth about $1 billion before taxes.According to Fortune, it is unusual that Facebook set such a wide range for its filing. Most prospective issuers usually only use a $3 spread, it says. Still, the price is lower than some might have expected considering Facebook shares went for $44.10 on secondary exchange SharesPost in March. The social network could still adjust its price before the actual offering based on demand it sees during the investor roadshow.Facebook also released its retail roadshow video here. The company will begin its in-person roadshow next week, and without any delays, Facebook should begin trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol FB on May 18.

Discover whether some of these need to be sealed for gaps, cracks, or openings. Make sure that your door is made from a sound stuff. Then determine should you desire to add insulation to your present walls. This is often achieved by adding foam or spray insulation directly into the walls to make them thicker. Use plush carpeting, upholstered furniture, and soundproof drapes to finish it off. Most soundproofing materials are found at home store or a regular builder's supply retailer.
In case you are having trouble finding materials that are particular you can always do an internet search for that particular item online.

06 days of adventures along the equator line
Ecuador is a small country dispersed north and south along the equator line in the west of the South American continent. In spite of its relatively small size the fascination to travel seems to be particularly great in Ecuador, as numerous visits from some of the World's most famous travelers prove. Ecuador still provides many individual ways of travelling for the conscious traveler who will no longer follow the highway of mass tourism but local paths into a journey full of discovery, relaxation and adventure during which he really gets to know the destination of his choice.
Day 01 Friday: Arrival in Quito – colonial and modern city in the AndesArrive in Quito, the capital of Ecuador that lies in 2800m altitude in the middle of the Andes. Assistance and transfer from the airport to your hotel. After a short break to recover from the travel and a first introduction to the country you get to explore this big city and learn something about its turbulent history.. This city tour covers the major colonial churches and monasteries in Quito such as La Catedral, La Compañia and San Francisco. Visit Independence Plaza flanked by the Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, the Municipal Building and the Archbishop's Palace. Continue to the Church of San Francisco, one of the greatest religious buildings in South America. Its impressive façade and atrium lead to an opulent gold interior, a Baroque influence with the winged Virgin of Quito at its main altar. You visit the historic colonial quarter of Quito, resplendent with its churches, gilded altars and religious sculptures and paintings dating from the 17th; 18th and 19th centuries. The tour continues through narrow streets, ancient colonial houses with Moorish-style arches and mysterious patios to El Panecillo, and a neutral vantage point for an overwhelming view of the city. From here you drive to the northern modern part of Quito to the city park "La Carolina" in order to visit the botanical garden of Quito where you will get a good impression of the great diversity of the Ecuadorian Flora. La Carolina Park is also a good place to watch the national sport Ecua-volley. L
Day 02 Saturday: Otavalo Indigenous Market
For centuries, regional markets have played an important role in Indigenous life, providing regular gathering places for trade and socializing. The colourful local markets of the Andean valleys are famous for their fine handicrafts. The Otavalo Indigenous market dates back to pre-Inca times and is famous for its textiles woven on back strap and shuttle looms. Here Otavaleños barter in silence, in marked contrast to the raucous noise of other markets. You will have time to visit the famous market and stroll along the narrow cobblestone streets filled with Otavaleños wearing blue ponchos, white trousers and long braided hair. After lunch you will walk to the waterfall of Peguche which is in a small nature sanctuary, and from there you will continue to the San Pablo Lagoon. This area around the lake below the Imbabura volcano, that is the home of the Otavaleños. Following the ridge of the lake on an old cobblestone road through pastureland and fruitful fields, you will pass small villages still with Adobe houses inhabited by Indigenous farmers and art craftsmen. Clear mountain air and the wonderful sights on the landscape with the many small bird-rich side valleys as well as the enormous Cayambe in the background make this ride a genuine experience. In the late afternoon you return to Quito. B/L
Day 03 Sunday: Cotopaxi National Park
Today, following the South Panamerican Highway will bring you to the Cotopaxi National Park. You will make a stop at the visitor center Campamento Mariscal Sucre to visit the natural history museum. After that you are going to drive to the Limpiopungo lagoon that is located crossing the wide high plateau at the slopes of Cotopaxi volcano. During an easy hike around the lagoon you get to know the typical vegetation of the Andean highlands and watch out for the local birds as the Andean humming bird and the condor. After the hike you will continue to the rustic mountain refuge Tambopaxi on the high plateau. Here you will eat lunch with great sights of the Lahar fields of the Cotopaxi Volcano and the wide expansion of the nature park. In the afternoon you cross the high plain to an old ritual place of the Incas, from which you have an excellent view across the high plain and the surrounding mountains Ruminahui, Sincholagua and of course the Cotopaxi Volcano. In the late afternoon you return to Quito. B/L
Day 04: Volcano Chimborazo – Riobamba
In the morning you will leave the Hacienda and drive further south and via the town of Ambato up towards the huge Volcano Chimborazo ( 6310m ). Through a picturesque landscape the road winds itself up, passing fields, valleys and the volcano Carihuayrazo, to the wide high plain at the slopes of Chimborazo. Every now and then you see lamas, which are still common working animals in this region. With a little bit of luck you also might see some Alpacas and even Vicuñas, the latter ones live in a wide reserve near the Chimborazo. Passing this huge volcano you reach the Chimborazo high plain. If acclimatization permits you can hike up to the refuges up to 4800m or even 5000m and have lunch here. Later you descend to Riobamba, the capital of Chimborazo Province at 2750m altitude. In the afternoon you explore Riobamba, especially its colourful and lively markets where you will have the chance to taste some of the tropical fruits like Granadilla (yellow passion fruit), Guaba fruit or Taxo.B/L
Day 05 Tuesday: Guayaquil
In the morning you will continue your travel down the western slopes of the Andes to Guayaquil; Ecuador's largest city, which is also the financial, commercial and industrial center of the country and is also Ecuador's biggest harbour. In the afternoon you will take a stroll through the city, where you are going to visit Parque Seminario, which is a very popular park of meeting point for young people in love. Furthermore this little park is well-known for its land iguanas that are resting in the trees. After that you are going to visit the Cathedral, built in the classical gothic style and walk to Guayaquil´s famous wide, tree-lined waterfront riverfront avenue "el Malecon" that runs alongside the river Guayas. You will visit the municipality, the "Palacio Municipal" and the "Palacio de Gobernacion" ( the Government Palace ). Right in front of the Palace is the Moorish clock tower (La Torre Morisca), which has been constructed in the year 1843. The sights from its top make it worth the effort to climb its steep stairs. La Rotonda, is a statue that marks the meeting between Simon Bolivar and Jose San Martin in 1822. B/L

The INSIGHT Study
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
PO Box 19024 (M4-C308)
Seattle WA 98109-1024
What is the INSIGHT Study?
Women diagnosed with in situ breast cancer have an increased risk of developing a second breast cancer. However, very little is known about which women with in situ breast cancer have a greater risk of developing another breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to look for the possible causes of developing a second breast cancer among women who had an in situ breast cancer.
We would like to help improve the health of all women with breast cancer.
Who is being asked to participate?
Two groups of women who were diagnosed with breast cancer, from 30 to 79 years of age, are being asked to participate in the INSIGHT Study:
Women who have been diagnosed with one in situ breast cancer, and
Women who have been diagnosed with two breast cancers.
Our goal is to enroll over 1,500 women into this study.
Why is participation important?
Studies such as this compare information from people who have a particular disease to those who do not. This type of research allows us to identify whether specific exposures increase or decrease a woman's risk of getting a second breast cancer.
Each woman invited to participate in INSIGHT is incredibly valuable. Since we are unable to interview every woman diagnosed with breast cancer, participants serve as representatives for many other women just like them. The more women who accept invitations to participate, the more helpful this research will be in answering why some women get a second breast cancer. Participation by every woman invited is vital to the INSIGHT project.
Why do women who have never had a second breast cancer need to participate?
In order to find out what causes a second breast cancer, we must interview women who have had one breast cancer, as well as women who have had two. We need to compare similarities and differences between the two groups to learn more about what causes second breast cancers. Each woman who agrees to participate in INSIGHT is directly contributing to a better understanding of second breast cancers.
What does participation in the INSIGHT Study involve?
A Fred Hutch interviewer will call women who agree to participate in the INSIGHT Study to arrange a telephone interview at a convenient time, including evenings and weekends. Prior to the interview, a packet of materials that will help with the interview process will be mailed to participants.
The interviewer will ask about medical history, breast cancer treatments, lifestyle, and family cancer history. The interview usually takes about 40 minutes; participants may refuse to answer any question and may stop the interview at any time.
At the end of the interview, the interviewer will ask about participation in some additional parts of the study that are optional. This will take another 15-20 minutes. For example, she will ask if participants are willing to provide a small cell sample from the inside of their mouth that can be used to study genes that may be related to breast cancer risk. Providing the cell sample is a simple, painless procedure that involves spitting into a small container that we will provide. Participants do not need to agree to provide a cell sample in order to participate in this study.
Is information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Interviews will only be identified by a number. All the information provided will be kept strictly confidential, and will only be used for research to increase our knowledge of breast cancer.
The funding for this study was provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

You Park Like an A$$HOLE!
Yesterday I headed over to the local Big Box Home Improvement store to buy some wood. It was pouring rain when I reached the parking lot. I decided to do a quick drive by to see if there was a space up close to the door. As a result I found not just one but two idiots that did not know how to park (taking up two spots). I ended up about 200 yards from the door. Needless to say by the time I got inside I was soaking wet and seeing red. Continue reading

We'll be with you in every skirmish, every hospital trip, every moment, my faraway friends, and wish you the very speediest recovery.

It took a little doing to get the replacement hormone adjusted but I'm doing fine now and so will your husband.

Lee-Ann, please know that our family is in this battle with you. My oldest daughter, the mother of 4 very young children, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in December of 2007. She has had her surgery and the radiation treatment already. It was a scary thing to go through but thyroid cancer is one of the easiest and most successfully treated. Her follow-up tests have all been clear and her meds are now at the right levels. Today you would not know to look at her that any of this has happened. It was the encouragement from other bloggers that had experienced thyroid cancer that helped us through this. I was astounded to find out how many people have been affected by it and have been just fine following the surgery and treatment. I am sure Rob will be as well.

Interior and Exterior Dry Rot Repairs
No doubt about it, Portland is wet! Whether the source is a construction defect, failed exterior paint, or a long-term leak, moisture can cause devastating damage to your home through the wood rot process. SFW Construction LLC, one of Portland's most-trusted general contractors and a dry rot repair specialist, can tackle your interior or exterior dry rot repair with expertise unlikely to be matched by other Oregon contractors.
What is dry rot and how does it affect your home?
Rot is the leading cause of damage in wood structures in and around the Portland area. Dry rot, which is sometimes called "brown rot," "wood rot," and "wet rot," is bad enough in and of itself, but can lead to even more issues like mold and mildew. This is because dry rot is actually a fungi which can grow with no obvious source of moisture. In fact, this strange fungi can actually be fed by moisture in the air! This makes dry rot difficult to spot prior to it spreading and near-impossible to predict. As it spreads, the fungi literally eats away at the wood leaving it dark and crumbly. At that point, you can even crush the wood into small chips or powder with your bare hand! Unfortunately, once dry rot begins spreading within a structure, it doesn't stop.
Where can dry rot be found?
As dry rot can infiltrate your home via interior and exterior sources and infest any wood structure, it can be found virtually anywhere in the home. It's more likely to take hold where moisture is likely to be present, but you can find it in posts, beams, kitchen and bathroom floors and walls, deck framing, deck boards, eaves, roofs, near damaged gutters, foundations, sill plates, window and door framing, siding, cripple walls and crawl spaces, among others. Spotting rot is not always easy, but there are some things you can look for.
Signs that you may have a dry rot problem
- You notice wood beginning to shrink, darken, or crack.
- You can easily penetrate wood surfaces with a screw driver.
- There is a musty odor present. Dry rot thrives in damp environments and a musty smell is a potential indicator of fungus.
- Wood surfaces are covered in something resembling the skin of a mushroom, or mold.
- Floors, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen, feel "springy" or creak when you walk on them.
If any of these signs are present, it's imperative that you arrange to have a dry rot expert take a look. Ignoring it just means the rot is likely to spread and a relatively minor issue can turn into a major one–with major associated costs!
For dry rot, it's important to use a specialistSFW Construction specializes in identifying dry rot issues and fixing them right. The first step is locating the SOURCE of the dry rot and performing whatever remediation necessary to prevent it from reoccurring. Then we'll repair and/or replace the affected wood so that your house is as good as new.

Yet the fact that only one person died is perhaps a tribute to how well prepared Japanese people are for dealing with the earthquakes which frequently hit their country.
But experts predict that a massive earthquake will strike the capital Tokyo some time in the near future, and that - despite the best preparations - hundreds of thousands of buildings may collapse, and several thousand people could die.
Last month in Tokyo, there was a scene of utter chaos. Rescue teams rushed in all directions, firing up their chainsaws. In front of them lay cars crushed under piles of rubble, and crumpled houses. Helicopters hovered over badly cracked buildings.
The teams worked at speed, sawing holes in the collapsed walls, leaping in and bringing out casualties. Some seemed badly injured, some were unconscious.
But the injuries were not real.
This was Japan's National Disaster Prevention day, held every year to mark the great Kanto earthquake of 1923, which flattened Tokyo and killed more than 100,000 of its inhabitants.
This year a million people took part in the exercise. The reason they take it so seriously is that earthquakes occur all the time in this geologically unstable country - and the capital city is well overdue for a big one.
The problem is, according to Professor Keiji Doi from Tokyo University's Earthquake Research Institute, there's no way of knowing when it will happen.
"The next big earthquake in the Kanto area is very imminent according to our history of these earthquakes. But we can't tell the exact day or time. It may occur tomorrow, or next week or next month or next year, but we can't say the exact time or date," he said.
So the only thing the inhabitants of Tokyo can do is prepare. And they do.
Every day Kuroda Masayuki from the city's Fire Department gives guided tours of its Life Safety Learning Centre to groups of school children.
He explains the city's unlucky location - right above the point where three great continental plates meet and grind against each other. Then they get to feel what a major earthquake is really like on the centre's earthquake simulator.
It is a milder version of the great Kobe earthquake of 1995. All the same, the children are thrown around the mocked-up kitchen. Furniture - fortunately made of foam - tumbles on top of them.
They are supposed to make sure a door is open, and turn off the gas, but all they can do is cower under the table, with cushions on their heads.
Even on a simulator it is an unnerving sensation.
Health checks
Practising for the Big One is not the only preparation Tokyo's people are making. They're also taking a long, hard look at where they live.
The job of Hiroshi Kodaira, a structural engineer, is to assess how buildings could withstand a major earthquake.
One of the people he has been helping is Toshiki Shiraishi, the owner of a beautiful old wooden house - a rarity in Tokyo these days.
The verdict was what Toshiki had feared - that without significant re-enforcement, his house could collapse.
"I've been worried about what would happen in the event of an earthquake for some time. Only recently I read in the newspaper that half of all the people who will die will be crushed under buildings. This is something I had to do," Toshiki said.
Hiroshi checked the outside walls of the house as well.
He has equipment which can tell how solid the walls are and how much moisture they contain - a complete breakdown of a building's health.
He is contracted by the local government to offer this health check to all the residents of this area.
Using a wooden model, Hiroshi explained how the house could be strengthened without disfiguring its elegant architecture.
It will not be cheap.
Fortunately Toshiki can afford the work. Thousands of other people with old houses in the city cannot. They can only hope that when the Big One does finally strike, their homes will somehow hold up.

Ghana an emerging heath sector motivation
ACCRA, (CAJ News) – GHANA is positioning itself to becoming a powerhouse in the provision of healthcare in the continent as it makes the most of the turmoil in the sector in neighbouring countries.
The country has taken advantage of the challenges of accessing quality healthcare including under-resourced health facilities, low remuneration of health staff, and frequent strikes in health facilities in the sub-region.
Such turmoil is commonplace especially in Nigeria, Africa's largest economy and most-populated country.
It has emerged more than 5 000 Nigerians seek healthcare in Ghana annually, paying over $1 billion.
Similarly, patients from other West African countries including Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Niger Senegal and Sierra Leone are also seeking such services in Ghana.
Ghana has been making significant investments into the provision of health in recent years.
In the last few years, about US$2 billion has been invested in the provision of modern hospitals and the upgrading of facilities.
There are currently two teaching hospital projects, three institutional hospitals, four regional Hospitals, 14 district hospitals, dozens of polyclinics and scores of health centres.
Thousands of community-based health planning and service (CHPS) compounds are at various stages of construction in the country.
When completed, these projects will collectively deliver 6 000 new hospital beds to facilitate access to improved health care by 2017.
Currently work on the $217-million University of Ghana Teaching Hospital (UGTH) is almost completed, with the facility expected to commence operations in March.
The 617-bed health facility is expected to provide cutting-edge medical training for about 1 000 medical doctors to improve the current doctor-to-patient ratio and serve as a research centre for various health professionals in the country.
The teaching hospital built with a loan from the Israeli government The facility is said to be the first of its kind in West Africa.
It will help improve the delivery of health in the country and the sub-region.
The facility also has a modest staff accommodation of 36 one-bedroom flats.
The project is being undertaken by Messrs Engineering and Development Consultants Limited, with medical consultation provided by the Sheba Medical Centre in Israel.
The Project Coordinator of the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), Prof. Aaron Lawson, explained the hospital would commence with internal medical care would be fully functional by end of March.
As part of the project package, about 80 Ghanaian health and non-health professionals would undergo training at the Sheba Medical Centre.
"Currently, 20 senior specialists and consultants are in Sheba, while nurses, administrators, biomedical engineers and pharmacists will also be trained," he said.
Elsewhere, the second phase of construction at Tamale Teaching Hospital is ongoing.
The cost of the project is €48.5 million.
The second phase of the project would add 400 beds to make it an 800-bed facility.
Additionally, the expansion of the 420-bed Ridge Hospital in Accra is ongoing at a cost of US$250 million.
The hospital is designed to contain components, such as the civil, mechanical and electrical works for covering a comprehensive Diagnostic and Treatment block to ensure 24- hour surgical service.
Accommodation for 42 staff members, school of anesthesia, 100-body capacity mortuary, main road and car park would also be constructed as part of the project.
Other components of the facility include an imaging department, delivery unit, accident and emergency unit, neonatal intensive care unit, intensive care unit (ICU), emergency ICU as well as a burns unit.
Civil works of the project which is about 70 percent complete, the French firm, Buoygues Construction Company, said.
Other ongoing regional health facility projects include the regional a 386-bed Bolgatanga hospital, a 250-bed Ashanti Regional Hospital at Sewua-Kumasi, a 160-bed Upper West Regional Hospital, Wa, all in the Upper East, Ashanti, and Upper West regions.
Several new and existing district health facilities are currently under construction and rehabilitation across the country.
Some 1 260 CHPS have been constructed while 1 600 others are at varying stages of implementation.
Meanwhile, the Eye Care Centre at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, the second leading referral hospital in West Africa after Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, also in Ghana, has enabled enhanced specialist eye care services to Ghanaians and other nationals in West Africa.
Minister of Communications, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, also highlighted that in another major exercise, under the National Medical Equipment Replacement Programme, old equipment and machines at the various major health facilities would be replaced.
"This US$264 million initiative has ensured the provision of critical diagnostic and treatment equipment for over 150 hospitals nationwide," he said.
New machinery would be installed at all health centres where necessary in the country.
Boamah, a trained medical doctor, said most prominently, under this programme, the nation's foremost facility, the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, received significant resources to replace and rehabilitate obsolete equipment and theatres.
These unprecedented investments are not only changing lives but are beginning to yield results as evident in the positive Human Development Indicators currently being recorded.
The latest Ghana Health and Demographic Survey indicates considerable improvement in infant mortality, child mortality, under-five mortality, percentage of deliveries in health facilities as well as maternal and ante-natal health care.
The survey showed that whereas infant, child and under-five mortalities stood at 50, 31 and 80 deaths per 1 000 live births in 2008, they dropped to 41, 19 and 60 deaths per 1 000 live births respectively in 2014.
Such investments explain why Ghana is doing well against its peers in the area of health.
Ghana has recorded a decline in its Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) by 49 percent between 1990 and 2013. This is against global reduction of 45 percent, according to United Nations.
The report, released by Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-Agency Group (MMEIG) of the UN indicated MMR had reduced from 760 in 1990 to 380 in 2013 and expected to drop further.
The rate of Skilled Attendant at Birth (SAB) to delivery cases had gone up from 60,3 percent in 2010 to 63,1 percent in 2013.
This is also expected to improve further, according to health workers.

True Canadian Dog Encounters
Sometimes the most interesting experiences happen with animals when you least expect it. If you go out in the forest and be still for a while you will notice the things happening around you. Animals are amazingly sensitive to which humans are their friends.
Here is a true Canadian Dog I met in a remote area outside of town the other day. I was walking in the forest and I saw two dogs run by me. They ran by but didn't look directly at me. I didn't think they were going to meet but later on they came to find me again and we made friends. I gave this one an organic apple and a banana. She ate the whole thing including the skin! After that we were all friends and the dogs had a nap under my vehicle.

Bankruptcy demographics.
Between 2000 and 2009 there were more than 13 million bankruptcies filed in the United States. Are there risk factors that we can identify early on that would help more people take action to avoid bankruptcy? You will find out many interesting facts about this topic in the May / June 2011 edition of The Quarter Roll. For now, this video provides some insights on the who the average bankruptcy filers were in 2009.

Drone footage can be spectacular. Which is why last week, I spent four days in the illustrious company of Tom and Darren at Heliguy HQ – working towards a PFAW (Permission for Aerial Work).
Upon completion of the course, which includes ground school and a practical exam, I will be licensed by the CAA to undertake commercial aerial work.
As I have some flight experience already, I did originally smirk at the length of the course. I even recall catching myself saying out load 'how does learning to fly a drone take four days?'
The truth is, it doesn't. Anyone from the Playstation generation can go out tomorrow, buy, and fly a Phantom 4. It isn't hard. Especially with the collision avoidance and other safety features that come as standard.
And that's the problem… What I did discover is that quite often you'll be breaking the law without knowing.
You see, in the eyes of the law, a drone (or Small Unmanned Aircraft 'SUA') is just that – an aircraft. As such, you are subject to the same rules and regulations as a 747 passenger jet. With the same reporting procedure if anything goes wrong.
Some of these regulations limit or even prohibit flights in certain airspaces. As an unmanned aircraft you're also required to maintain visual line of sight – meaning if you can't see if, you're at risk to other people/property/aircraft. In certain areas of the country, you may even find yourself in the flight path of a low flying jet fighter!
So, not looking to entirely deter an amateur enthusiast, how do you stay the right side of the law? Here's a few top tips of things I picked up over the four days:
- Weight – Is your SUA under 7kg? The CAA will allow you to fly without permissions if so (in the right airspace).
- Distance – Fly only within line of sight under standard permissions, defined by a maximum vertical distance of 400 feet and 500 meters horizontally.
- Proximity – Do not fly over or within 150m of a congested area – e.g. cities, parks, busy beaches.
- People – Do not fly over or within 50m of people not under your control i.e. the public.
- Airspace – Find out which airspace you're flying in. Is the airspace restricted, dangerous or prohibited? Check on aviation charts to make sure – flying in a prohibited airspace could lane you in prison and with a hefty fine.
- Location – Large areas of water, metal, intense radio activity, or power lines may play havoc with your SUA's communications. Inexperienced pilots should avoid these areas entirely.
- London – Be aware that in London there are further height restrictions to take into account helicopter routes. You will be limited to 300 feet under helicopter routes.
Taking all that into consideration, it is more than possible for amateur enthusiasts to legally fly their SUAs. It goes without saying to always exercise caution and keep in mind your proximity to people, buildings, and other air users.
Use of footage for showreels, on YouTube, for a film, could all be construed as commercial work and potentially land you in hot water.
So why do you need a permission for aerial work? The reason is simple. The CAA require any commercial operator to prove they are competent to fly, with the correct preparation and safety procedures in place.
This means if any value can be attached to the footage i.e. you're using it for anything other than showing your friends/family – you will need to show the CAA you are competent to operate. Without this, use of footage for showreels, on YouTube, for a film, could all be construed as commercial work and potentially land you in hot water.
How do you demonstrate competence? If you'd like to explore commercial aerial work, there are a number of CAA approved NQE centres across the UK, although I do highly recommend Heliguy for incredible value.
I hope you've found the above useful. This is by no means an exhaustive list of legal/practical considerations – so I do provide this with the caveat of seeking further SUA training. I do hope that the above guide will keep many of you safe and on the right side of the law.

Ky. voices: Prisons won't unlock prosperity in E. Ky.
U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers recently announced major progress for efforts to bring a new maximum-security federal prison to Letcher County, one of the many Eastern Kentucky counties hard hit by the declining coal industry.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons awarded a contract to conduct an environmental impact study on two selected sites. But even as that process moves forward, no funding has yet been allocated for construction of the proposed $250 million to $350 million project.
If built, this will be the fourth new federal prison to come to Eastern Kentucky, and the sixth federal prison built in Central Appalachia, since 1992 — in addition to new state and private prisons. Indeed, in the last quarter-century of skyrocketing incarceration, Central Appalachia has become one of the most concentrated areas of prison growth in the country.
Each prison came with the promise of hundreds of jobs and broad-scale economic growth. So as Letcher County waits, we should ask, what happened in these other prison-host communities. Did the promises come true?
McCreary County, where a federal prison opened in 2004, provides one example.
In 1990, McCreary County had the lowest per capita income in the state, and a staggering 45 percent of the population was living below the poverty line. So when rumors began to circulate that a new prison might be coming to town, it was welcome news. "At that particular time it was the biggest thing, it was like Santa Claus has come," said Jimmie Greene, who was then McCreary County judge-executive. "He's given us a gift that we didn't expect, didn't know anything about. And I was just overjoyed."
Officials were told the prison would have an operating annual budget of $25 million, with 80 percent of the money spent locally, and that it would bring hundreds of jobs. So the county rolled out the red carpet to ensure the prison's arrival — running new sewer lines, paving roads, building a whole new water treatment plant.
But it wasn't until 2001 — a year into the prison's construction — that the qualifications needed for getting a prison job became apparent. All applicants would be drug-tested and background checked, need a clean credit history and no prior criminal record, have to pass a rigorous physical exam and be younger than 38. County residents would be given no preference in the hiring process, and a four-year college degree and previous institutional experience were "highly recommended."
As Blaine Phillips, who succeeded Greene as McCreary judge-executive, recounted in 2009, "Of the 300 and something employees that work at the prison, I don't think we have over 25 or 30 local people that are working there," he said. "It was not what they were telling us at first."
Transferring employees filled the vast majority of positions and most chose to live in nearby cities outside the county. They did not buy local real estate, shop at local businesses or put their children in county schools. The prison purchases supplies from national wholesalers, not local businesses. And the county's property tax base was permanently reduced when the prison land transferred from private ownership to the federal government.
It's been almost a decade since the prison opened in McCreary County, and it remains one of the poorest counties in one of our nation's poorest congressional districts. The situation is so dire the school board is facing a $1 million shortfall in the upcoming year, and one proposal is to cut kindergarten to a half-day.
Clay and Martin counties, where federal prisons opened in 1992 and 2003, also rank among the 10 poorest counties in the state.
Kentucky's experience is not unique. One 2010 study analyzed data on every rural county in the country from 1969 to 2004 and found no evidence that prison construction leads to economic growth, and furthermore that the poorest counties are the most likely to have a net loss from prison construction.
Prisons do not bring prosperity to the communities that host them. And in addition to failing the struggling regions where they are built, we must also ask, why prisons are being offered as a tool for rural economic development in the first place. Why should the federal government spend $300 million to build another one?
Eastern Kentucky needs real investment, in its schools, its small businesses, its people. It doesn't need another prison.

Change of Plans for American Wagering4 September 1998
LAS VEGAS -- American Wagering, Inc. (Nasdaq: BETM) has terminated its planned purchase of Imagineering Systems, a keno systems provider located in Reno, Nevada, and has announced plans to develop a progressive Keno system in-house.
"Our decision to terminate the purchase of Imagineering Systems was not an easy one to make," said American Wagering CEO Vic Salerno. "After our Board of Directors reviewed the acquisition in view of the business plan of the company, they felt it would be more consistent with our strategic plan to develop the system in-house. We plan to continue with the direction we have taken towards adding a Keno system to our library of products and are currently waiting for Nevada 5regulatory approval to begin the roll out of this product."
The company owns and operates Leroy's Horse and Sports Place, the licensed bookmaker with the largest number of sports book locations in the state of Nevada, and CBS, a supplier of sports and race book equipment and software in Nevada. It also owns and operates a 150 room hotel/casino complex in Las Vegas.

I'm about halfway through Blur by Tom Rosenstiel and Bill Kovach, and I can't recommend this book enough. Classes on its content should be made an educational requirement.
Here are some factoids I gleaned from my readings:
- Newspaper staffs are down by roughly 30 percent from ten years earlier. For network news, the cuts have been even steeper.
- Traditional online news sites have gotten bigger, not smaller, despite the proliferation of online news outlets.
- When changes in communicating to the masses have occurred in the past, existing power elites have tried to exploit the transition in almost every case.
- The argument culture limits the information we get, rather than broadening it.
The fundamental premise of the book is that the objective-and-disciplined mediation function has largely disappeared from news reporting. In parallel, business models have arisen that focus more on assertion (goal: disseminate information quickly) and affirmation (goal: maintain audience loyalty) than on verification. As such, the burden of editing and analyzing the news falls to individuals. In essence, we must become our own investigative journalists.
The authors point out that the clash between fact-and-faith has occurred numerous times in history, providing both risks and opportunities in every case. In this instance, the challenge of "skeptically knowing" the truth about the news is indeed burdensome, but we can now interact with the media, political leaders, and others in an unprecedented manner.
Powerful stuff, if you think about it.

The Second Life Community Celebration runs from June 18th through the 25th.
Visit their official web site for full details, daily event schedule, more landmaarks, etc here: http://www.slcommunitycelebration.info/
Their theme this year as stated in part from their website states "Our theme for SL14B is "Carnivalesque!" If this is a birthday, then we're going to have a festival worthy of Second Life®! Strike up the band, toss on your glad rags, and join us at the SL®14B Community Celebration as we hit the carnival."
The annual Second Life community/birthday celebration is underway and I stopped by for opening day as I was busy RL for the press day. I have to say, there was one corner I was very excited about from the minute I saw it. This was the area of Stupendous Stage Left, The Guardian, by Faust Stamer/Walton F. Wainwright , direct SLURL here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SL14B%20Stupendous/119/200/26) which caught my eye. Atop this creature sits a cool venue too that was filled with music and dancing visitors. It's absolutely huge and delectably eclectic and steampunk looking in design. The 3 headed armoured creature moves its heads, blows steam out its nostrils, has a pool at its base you can walk in and be teleported up to the glass tented stage dance and show area he holds atop his back. And believe me, once you've climbed the many steps up to the initial pool, you are ready for that cool teleport. There are some other large and very nice builds in this general area and in all the sections of this huge 18 sim community celebration.
I also very much loved Pan's Labrynth and ultimately Neverland Soiree here.. I hope: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SL14B%20Wonderous/236/27/24
Once again there are associated Linden freebies/prizes (see their home web site for landmarks under the SLURLS tab) there are also SL birthday sales going on around the grid and on the SL Marketplace.
Happy 14th birthday Second Life and to all the residents. Come out and enjoy the wonderful variety of builds, art, music and other entertainment, etc. representing many of the things residents make and do to contribute to everyone's pleasure and experience.

The planetary Mahadashas plays a very significant role in human lives as they could bring massive changes in people's life and could take them towards the heights or could also cause downfalls. To summarize the topic, human life is divided in to mahadashas, antardashas and pratyantar dashas of planets which influence the human life in a positive or negative way.
Mahadasha or major period is the segmentation of human life for each planet with variant size of periods divided within perceived 120yrs of a human life as each segment is ruled by a planet and similarly the cycle of 120yrs comprise all the 9 astrological . The Period of each planet leaves different and variant impacts upon the native's life depending upon various factors.
A human is perceived to be born with the presence of all the planets in his lifetime as from whatever place he/she would begin his/her life cycle, it will lead him/her through the systematic series of planetary periods as in a way to complete all the planetary segments in 120yrs, though its quiet a different aspect that nowadays a person rarely live all 120yrs of human life. The Mahadashas of Human life works along side Nakshatras as in which ever Nakshatra a person is born, his/her first Mahadasha at birth will be of the ruling planet of the birth Nakshatra and then after, the methodical series of Mahadashas will proceed. These planetary segmentation in known as Mahadasha of planets.
In these Mahadashas, the ruling planet leaves a great impact upon the native's life and that entirely depends upon the relationship of the ruling planet with the planetary positions in the horoscope chart of the native. If the the mahadasha is of the karaka or benefic planet or a well placed or exalted planet then this period in general will make the person life full of joy, wealth , harmony and affluence. On the other side, if the planet is akaraka or malefic or not well placed or debilitated in the horoscope, the major period of that planet will in general cause problems, loss of money , debts and diseases. However the exact good or bad results would be decided by carefully examining the lordship of the planet and the placement of the planet. The intensity of the good or bad results would be decided by the state of planet (powerful or weak), the placement of other planets with it and aspect of planets on it.
Mahadashas are divided into nine segments called antardashas or sub-periods. This is a division of mahadasha period where all the 9 planets would have their influence within the major influence of the planet which is a ruler of mahadasha. For example, in the 17 year maha dasha period of mercury, all the 9 planets including Mercury will have their share of period. In this period, the planet ruling mahadasha and antardasha both would have impacts on person's life. So the mahadasha period of any planets is not uniformly good or bad for the native. The result or falit will depend on many factors like: if rulers of mahadasha and antardashas are karakas or akarakas for the native, both are strong, well placed or weak, ill placed and whether they are natural friends or natural enemies. After considering all there factors, the predictions could could be made for that mahadasha- antardasha period.
Any antardashas are furthur divided in to 9 segmentations of 9 periods in which all the 9 planets would have their period of influences. These segmentations are called pratyantar dasha or sub-sub period.

Moon or Chandra Mahadasha 10 Years

The current pace of discovery in glycoscience on the one hand and of progress in clinical medicine on the other is unmatched by any other period in history. From all vantage points, the potential to usher forth new treatment paradigms based on convergence of these fields should be high, but, paradoxically, the very nature of the tempo of advances in these disciplines presents a limitation to bringing them together. In reality, there are very few individuals that can place clinical medicine within the framework of glycoscience, and vice versa. Regrettably, clinical medicine as presently practiced leaves little time for upholding a contemporary knowledge of basic science, and, thus, advances in glycoscience have taken this field well beyond the appreciation of most physicians. Accordingly, there is little likelihood that practicing physicians will be capable of creating opportunities for translation of pertinent findings in glycoscience into clinical reality. The key to bridging this translational chasm is to support the development of scientists with requisite interdisciplinary knowledge and experience by providing training in glycosciences concomitantly with fundamental human biology, framed by an appreciation of clinical urgency, thereby creating authentic glycobiologists with a firm mechanistic orientation to medically-oriented issues. To this end, the Glycosciences Skills Development Core in the Program of Excellence in Glycosciences (PEG) traverses this gap, providing post-doctoral fellows training in glycoscience principles and skills in concert with education in human biology and disease, creating "Translational Glycobiologists".
The unique combination of investigators assembled in the PEG, each directing projects at the interface of glycoscience and medicine, makes this Program ideal for training in Translational Glycobiology. The unifying scientific theme of the Skills Development Core is "Glycan Engineering", requiring intimate knowledge of carbohydrate structure and synthesis. This PEG aims to train a new generation of scientists that will appreciate how monosaccharide substitutions of cell surface glycans impact fundamental physiologic processes with profound impact on human health and disease.
A series of lectures have been made available on YouTube:
- Regenerative Medicine: Homing in on Adult Stem Cells – Implications for Future Clinical Management (Dr. Robert Sackstein)
- Glycosyltransferase-Programmed Stereosubstitution (GPS): Directing Cell Migration via Translational Glycobiology (Dr. Robert Sackstein)
- Biology of Sialyl Glycans (Dr. Joseph Lau)
