Want to know why the vinaya rules exist? Read the vinaya. If you don't want to read the entirety of the vinaya itself, read the next best thing. Ajahn Thanissaro's "Buddhist Monastic Code".

Of course, the simplest answer is also the most obvious. To prevent clinging to food.

Word to Wale, man. I think I'm a genius in my own right. Lemme see if I can do this joint justice
[Verse 1]
Never lie, beg, or borrow
And some women, don't let 'em draw you in like Frida Kahlo
I say no. You say yes. I rather move solo
So I don't care what a whore says unless it's Polo
On the road like Jack Kerouac
And these girls wanna bone me like a Marowak
If you got baby bars, similes like Similac, my nigga I'm afraid you gon' have to send 'em back
DC niggas so street, they should rep tar
And I'm in dinosaur mode, bitch: Reptar
Tyrannosaurus Rex. Got my Vans on when I flex
And I promise you to put my heart into it: open chest
It's too easy. Where's my competition?
I go hard when I'm sleeping: nocturnal emission
Do it til the death. My headphones make me deaf
And I'mma speak my point even if I lose my breath
It's Telly
Aw, man. I think that was pretty good
Lemme see what verse to is
I wish somebody was singing on the hook
But it's just a mix tape
[Verse 2]
These niggas like magicians: always in the trap
Wale's my nigga, but there's more DC niggas that can rap, uh
I'm from the District and I can talk proper
But the DC slang be rubbin' off on me like cheap Vodka
Kill moe, I be going crazy
And one chick told me yesterday she wanna have my baby
So I wrapped it when I tapped her
Gold wrapper for a gold rapper
And since I'm from Northeast, she had to have them clappas
Laughing like shit, baby play your part
Vans all in my closet. No airs. I'm Jordin Sparks
People want relationships. What the problem is?
I been single for forever. Stock skyrocketed
Read the dictionary and step your game up
And maybe then, my nigga, you can go a freaking pay cut
So what it do? I just improve
Lemme be Frank: when I'm in your girl's ocean she do not be thinking about you
Yea, that was something slight
So rewind it to get what was said
This is off the second track of Still Learning over Wale's Double M Genius beat.

Hong Kong plans to enact anti-spam law
Hong Kong plans to enact an anti-spam law next year to crack down on companies that send unsolicited emails or make automated telemarketing calls to consumers, an official has said.
The government has consulted industry groups to craft a law that would combat junk faxes, emails, text messages and telemarketing calls.
Au Man-ho, director-general of the Telecommunications Authority, said in a statement on Saturday that direct marketing companies using automated calling on an unsolicited basis "can be considered a spam problem."
However, Mr Au said the law - to take effect on an unspecified date in 2006 - would not cover "manually made cold calls" to avoid interfering with normal business activities.
He said the issue still required public discussion and that the government was working with fixed-line and mobile operators to create a code of practice for telemarketing.

Mary A. Carskadon, PhD
Based on current data, we think that most teens need on the order of 9-plus hours nightly to have optimal sleep. The NSF poll data indicate that most teens fall short of this goal, many by a considerable amount. Although we think that the need for sleep does not really change across adolescence, the amount of sleep young people get does decrease in older teens. Thus, the sleep deficit grows right along with the youngster.
Many factors combine to decrease sleep in adolescents. We can think in general of two major factors: behavior, by which I mean all the psychological, parental, societal, cultural features of a teen's life, and biological, by which I mean the brain processes that regulate the amount and timing of sleep. I've come to think of adolescents and their sleep patterns in 21st century America as a version of the "perfect storm."
The sleep-wake bio-regulatory factors appear to undergo significant changes during adolescence. These changes lay the ground work for the biological night to occur later during the teen years than before. Circadian rhythms (daily biological clock) seems to slow down and lag behind as young people progress through the middle school years. At the same time, the sleep pressure system appears to change in a way that makes it easier to stay awake longer, though without changing the amount of sleep that is needed.
It is no longer an issue of electric lights in the home, but many teens have a veritable technological playground in their bedrooms: television, computer with 24/7 Internet access, telephones, electronic game stations, MP3 players, and so forth. These technologies can also provide instant and incessant contact with peers. Societal/media pressure to consume these technologies is now higher than ever. Yet society also requires that teens go to school at a time of day that

Transforming Turkey: the 1950s
Here at ESI we have done a lot of work on Turkey today and its recent past. On this literary walk we have quite a few pages about its Ottoman past as well. We selected this book by Andrew Mango because Mango is one of the best known western scholars of Turkey and he won much acclaim for his biography of Ataturk. In the last few years Turkey has undergone a major transformation spurred by an economic boom. This extract recalls the events of the 1950s when, says Mango, it was also transformed, but clearly under very different circumstances.
The area under cultivation increased from 14 million to 23 million hectares, the number of tractors from under 2,000 to 42,000, the amount of fertilizer used from 42,000 to 107,000 tonnes. The length of metalled roads rose from under 2,000 to 7,000 kilometres; 14 dams, 15 power stations and 20 harbours were built. Private entrepreneurs were encouraged to invest in factories producing consumer goods. But, far from being reduced, the public sector grew in size. Not only was the state responsible for the building of dams and roads, it continued also to produce goods both for investment and for consumption iron and steel, cement, textiles and cheap clothes, sugar, cigarettes and alcoholic drinks. Electoral considerations dictated the choice of sites for new state factories. Private companies flourished by working as subcontractors to the state, whose agencies took on more staff. The government thus bought more support among entrepreneurs and also among the public at large. It became an employment agency creating jobs and generating profits, in the first place for its own supporters. This policy could only be sustained by deficit financing that is by printing money at home, and accumulating debts abroad. But until resources and the patience of foreign creditors in particular, the United States were exhausted, it was a popular policy. In the ten years of the Democrats' rule the gross value of the national product (GNP) rose by an average of 6 per cent a year. Allowing for the increase in population, this was equivalent to a rise of nearly 3.5 per cent per head.
The Turks Today. Andrew Mango. 2004.

Worcester, Mass. (courtesy Clark University sports information) – Host Clark University scored the game's lone goal in the 49th minute and knocked off previously unbeaten Brandeis, 1-0, in a highly anticipated non-league men's soccer matchup.
With the win the Cougars improve to 4-0, while the Judges slip to 2-1.
Clark is off to its best start since 2008, when the Cougars opened up 4-0-1 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Both teams had several scoring chances in the first half but neither could cash in on their opportunities with a goal.
That all changed in the opening minutes of the second half when Gianluca Ranallo (Scarsdale, N.Y.) chased down a ball on the left side and served a ball to the back post, where Josh Demers (Warwick, R.I.) headed it home for the 1-0 Clark advantage.
Ranallo and Demers almost connected on a similar play in the 71st minute but Demers' header sailed just over the crossbar.
The Judges put pressure on the Cougars in the final minutes and had an excellent chance to score when junior midfield Sam Ocel (North Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro) fired a point-blank shot that Clark goalkeeper Ryan King (Brimfield, Mass.) turned back in the 87th minute.
In an extremely physical contest, the game featured 31 fouls and a pair of yellow cards and Brandeis held advantages in both shots (17-7) and in corner kicks (13-2).
Junior goalie Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Regional) made a pair of saves for the Judges, while King sent aside five shots to record his first shutout of the season.
Clark returns to the field on Wednesday when they visit Colby-Sawyer, while Brandeis hosts WPI on Wednesday as well.

Student Visa and Embassy Information
U.S. Citizens:
Peruvian consulates have informed us that all students are to enter as a tourist. This will NOT require you to visit a Peruvian consulate before you depart, if you are a US citizen. When exiting the airport, custom officials are authorized to stamp up to 183 days to each tourist. When you enter the country, you will need to state how many days you will be in-country (as a tourist), and they will stamp your passport for that number of days.
All semester Lima students (not Cusco students) may opt to change their tourist visa to a student visa once they are in-country. Summer students do not usually change their status. The Peruvian immigration office will charge additional fees to make this change. Our staff in Peru can accompany you to the immigration office in Lima, located on Avenida España, if you would like to obtain a student visa. However, please keep in mind that it will not be necessary to change your status, and our Peruvian universities (UP and PUCP) have confirmed that you will not need to change your status to a student visa to enroll or to continue in classes in Peru.
For Academic Year students, there is an exception. Academic Year students will enter as tourists and are REQUIRED to change to a student visa in-country, as it's not possible to extend the tourist visa past the allotted 183 days. Year students will need to renew their student visa during their stay in Peru.
Non-U.S. Citizens:
Please note that if you are not a U.S. citizen, you should contact your Consulate to verify specific entry requirements. As these requirements vary based on citizenship, non-U.S. citizens may not be permitted to travel to Peru without a visa or outside of their visa dates. Also, visa fees for non-U.S. citizens may differ so please be sure to check your specific consulate's website for the most up to date information.
Note: Embassy and consulate contact information is subject to change without notice. Please refer to the website of the embassy or consulate to verify information.
In order to find contact information for your specific consulate, please choose the state or region of your permanent residence from the dropdown box below, and click submit to continue.

WebDKP is a web based DKP (Dragon Kill Points) system for World of Warcraft. The web based interface works with an in-game addon that allows players to manage their DKP directly while playing. Changes can then be synced with the site by uploading a log file.
This is the personal version of the publicly hosted WebDKP available at WebDKP.com. It provides the same features, but allows you to host your your DKP on your own server.
What is DKP?
DKP, short for "Dragon Kills Points", is a method of rewarding items to players in game based on their contribution. In general, users receive 'DKP Points' whenever they participate in raid or help the guild. They can then 'spend' these points when items drop during raids to purchase them. In this way, players who consistently help the guild can fairly earn items.
The system has many features including:
# Complete access to your DKP in game # One Click uploading to the site # Zerosum DKP Support # Lifetime DKP # Loot Tables # Integration with The Armory # Officer Accounts with Specialized Permissions # Multiple DKP Tables # Rich table editing tools to update your table # Backups # Bidding Support
This version of WebDKP is intended for individual guilds to host on their own server.

Tuesday night, the 9th July 2013, Alex & I decided to have a go at a few red Burgs with a few friends (we were only 5 in all). Alex suggested Colin Mackay's Sala Restaurant, and, I naturally and immediately agreed. JC & Mari de Terry got held up in traffic, so we started ahead with the apéritif.
After a tuna-based amuse bouche, my first course was a delicious and "para healthy" Squash Flowers Salad (a night's special a few weeks before, but they accommodated my request for the same though it is not on the regular menu).
With our respective first courses, we enjoyed some Champagne Delamotte Brut NV which was ordered off the restaurant's wine list. This is a relatively smaller champagne producer (vis-á-vis the likes of Pommery, Taittinger, Moët & Chandon, etc.) which, together with the iconic Champagne Salon, forms part of the Laurent-Perrier group.
Remarkably fresh, open, welcoming, with notable purity and breadth in its clean lines of white minerally, nicely bready apple, bit of pear pear, and discreet citrus. Just the right touch of lively enthusiasm and openness. Nice balance. What it may lack in complexity is more than compensated for by its sheer charm. Very amiable and dangerously drinkable*. At P4000 on the wine list (which is a reasonable restaurant mark-up from retail), I can easily and do readily recommend it.
* This subject bottle was from the last shipment of Premium Wine Exchange, which is the official distributor thereof. They have a new shipment just arrived and released, the bottles from which should be given a little time to rest from their journey. More on that in my next post.
My main course was the Grilled Kurobuta Pork Chop, which was one of the best pork chops I've ever had - certainly the best one I've had so far in Manila. The portion is quite huge, so I shared a bit of it with JC.
The evening's reds.
1993 Marquis d'Angerville 1er Cru Volnay Champans - Alex's bottle. Typical Volnay grace and finesse, JC noted it is comparatively less feminine - thus, more masculine - than most other Volnays. I mentioned that the 1er Cru Champans climat is known to produce Volnays with such characteristics. Beautifully layered and complex, with alluring nuances of violets and ceps in the ripe yet light footed dark fruit. Precise ripeness and acid balance. Lovely wine; as nice as when I had it a couple of months ago in La Tour d'Argent.
1990 Daniel Rion Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes - My bottle. Seductively truffled bouquet of darkly ripe pinot fruit, Vosne spice, hoisin, a whispered suggestion of dark soy sauce, good touch of Burgundy decay, complexed by a meaty-sanguine theme, with a notable loaminess underneath. Typically more masculine and bigger-boned than the previously discussed wine. Good heft, middle, long finish. Slightly lowish on acid, but carries it off well. Excellent wine if I do say so myself.
1996 Louis Jadot 1er Cru Beaune Clos des Ursules - My bottle. Still a little tight and quite primary, with the vintage's typical traits of slightly hard/high-toned acidity, and pronounced tannins. I'd let these rest around 3-5 more years and see from there. Decent enough now though, but paled in comparison to the other two reds of the night.
I chose for dessert my old Sala favorite: Mango & Passion Fruit Pavlova - which I never tire of, though I've been having it for many years. Lovely dinner with good wines and company. I've been missing my wine dinners greatly. Hopefully, they re-regularize soon. In any event, until the next!

Dr. Virend K. Somers
The connection between sleep apnea and heart disease is evolving very rapidly. People with cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure, heart failure, and stroke have a high prevalence of sleep apnea. Whether sleep apnea actually causes heart disease is still unclear, but we do know that if you have sleep apnea today, the chance that you will develop hypertension in the future increases significantly.
One of the problems in defining the relationship between sleep apnea and heart disease is that people with sleep apnea often have other co-existing diseases as well.
If you treat people with high blood pressure and sleep apnea, or heart failure and sleep apnea, the measures of blood pressure or heart failure are significantly improved. There is good evidence to think there is a cause-and-effect relationship between hypertension and sleep apnea.
Your blood pressure will go up because when you're not breathing, the oxygen level in your body falls and excites receptors that alert the brain. In response, the brain sends signals through the nervous system and essentially tells the blood vessels to "tighten up" in order to increase the flow of oxygen to the heart and the brain, because they have priority.
The problem is that things that go on at night tend to carry over in the daytime, even when the sleep apnea patient is awake. The low oxygen levels at night seem to trigger multiple mechanisms that persist during the daytime, even when the patient is breathing normally.
Video production in partnership with
The available evidence tells us that when you treat people with sleep apnea using CPAP, their blood pressure is not only lower at night—it's also lower during the day. That's a very good thing. Moreover, people with atrial fibrillation (a common type of irregular heart beat) with sleep apnea that is appropriately treated have only

I'm sure most of you have seen the shoeboxes all over the place: red and green, filled or available for filling, with toys for kids all over the world who wouldn't otherwise get presents this Christmas? Well Operation Christmas Child, a campaign organized by Samaritan's Purse does the most amazing job with the Shoeboxes. Our church collects them, our favorite coffee shops collect them, then the boxes are delivered to the OCC warehouse where they are checked over to make sure they are full of safe fun things for kids, then taped up and sent literally all over the world. For the last few years, we've had Picky Princess help us fill a couple of boxes with toys and stickers and candy. This year we wanted to be a little bit more purposeful in our commitment to community activism. I know it's always so much easier to be motivated and engaged in social justice issues around Christmas, but we really are going to try to plan something every month, where we go and serve the people in our community, or through an organization internationally. It's an act of gratitude, that we have been blessed and so we bless others, an act of community, that we support those who need the support. It's something we hope to deeply embed in the DNA of our little family. So last night we volunteered at the warehouse. What an incredible operation they have going! Completely machined by volunteers, we set up assembly line style, checking boxes, filling boxes, taping boxes, packing boxes. It was so fun! About the fastest 3 hours of my life. I stood at the the tape and was literally the last person to check and touch the boxes that will be transported and opened by a child somewhere around the world. I was quite teary thinking about this and imagining a 4 year old somewhere far away, no less loved than my 4 year old, no less deserving than my 4 year old, no less gifted and amazing than my 4 year old. To think that this shoebox may be their only gift this year, to think that their parents who adore them cannot provide for them presents and rituals of a special season, an afternoon of baking cookies, apple cider. I don't know…it makes me sad. And grateful.
Anyway. Get involved. Find a shoebox, fill a shoebox! Here's a pic of us by a crate of shoeboxes.

The following is a rundown of all action taken Wednesday by the Terrebonne Parish Council Monday night.
The following is a rundown of all action taken Wednesday by the Terrebonne Parish Council Monday night. All votes were unanimous, and all members were present until Councilwoman Arlanda Williams had to leave after the Policy, Procedure and Legal Committee because of a family emergency.
Action: Ratified a resolution to put on the May 4 ballot an ordinance to reinstate a 2.11-mill property tax for the Bayou Lafourche Water District, which supplies the parish with 80 percent of its drinking water.
Action: Authorized the Utilities Department to upgrade the Sixth Street Substation in Houma. The upgrade is expected to cost about $191,000 for the purchase and delivery of a transformer (an electrical device that transfers energy).
Action: Authorized an ordinance to amend the Parish Code to increase pay for the next Parish Council and parish president. Under the new ordinance, Parish Council members' annual salaries would increase by 41 percent. The council chairperson's annual salary would increase by about 35 percent. The parish president's salary would be set by the average salaries of three other parish-wide elected officials each year. The raises would take effect when newly elected officials take office in 2016.
Action: Approved a request to provide $600 for the first Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center Foundation's barbeque cook-off in downtown Houma April 5-6. The cook-off is to raise money for the foundation to meet health care needs within the community.
Action: Renewed a 12-month agreement with Acadian Ambulance service to provide transportation services for inmates of the Terrebonne Parish jail.
Action: Authorized an agreement to implement Bonanza Pump Station and Upper Little Caillou Pump Station improvements. The Bonanza improvements are expected to cost about $77,000 and the Upper Little Caillou improvements are expected to cost about $534,000. Money for each project comes from federal grants.
Action: Approved a roughly $3,000 increase to a $220,456 construction contract with LA Contracting Enterprise to restore sidewalks and the Bayou Terrebonne pedestrian bridge at H.L. Bourgeois High School.
Action: Accepted final work performed by Volute Inc. to renovate the Bobbie Lou, Brittany and Elysian sewer lift station project. The project cost about $787,000.
Action: Discussed making mandatory the installing of crosswalks for businesses that own property on both sides of a street.
Action: Voted to postpone a measure to provide a traffic-control device at the intersection of Valhi Boulevard and Civic Center Drive. The decision was made after taking into account data from a traffic engineering study.

Sam Denoff, an Emmy-winning writer on the classic sitcom "The Dick Van Dyke Show" who helped create the Marlo Thomas comedy "That Girl," has died. He was 83.
Denoff, who had Alzheimer's disease, died Friday at his home in Brentwood, said his son, Douglas.
Denoff and his longtime writing partner, Bill Persky, had written for Steve Allen and Andy Williams television shows and such series as "McHale's Navy" when in 1963 they sold a script for "The Dick Van Dyke Show," which ran on CBS from 1961 to 1966.
Persky and Denoff went on to share two Emmys for the series (one with series creator Carl Reiner) and work not only as writers but as...

My friend many of them are damaged too. We all don't come home again unscathed. I know you've been thru some hell in your own experience, lets not judge those who are living in a personal hell. The ethos are what they are but all members subscribe to them and they make things tick. I spent decades in this culture, I believe it to be correct. The flaw I see is not the team players performing as required. The failure I see is the command structure failing to care for the serving members forcing one to step out of line! If we were looking after our people they would not have to use alternative measures to seek help. The Ethos is to soldier on endure all hardships that's the job. This individual was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He helped many soldiers and is condemn by some as a result. This culture is not built by the bottom of the structure it's top down and adhered to by all.fivedragons wrote:Laird: "Many members of his regiment shun him because he broke with command and went public."
F$ck them. Who's the sheep, now.
No problem getting license to drive heavy equipment or large passenger vehicles like a bus. My condition is temporary and I don't work if I have a vision issue. (happens every 5 years.) Think of it as an allergy. That's what arthritis of the eye is, an inflammation of a body part. Can be triggered by dirt in the eye...which can be a risk when your engaged in moving tons of the stuff. If I keep medication handy I can nip the reaction in the bud!Van Canna wrote:Laird/5D...sorry to hear about the eyes problems...do you guys have trouble getting a driver's license?
And what you two are relating about the PTSD subject is indeed somber.
I agree we need to demand it of our legislative representative. It's the only way things will improve, voters demanding change. Those who make decisions/control the purse strings live on votes.fivedragons wrote:My bad, I did not mean to malign anyone. It infuriates me when I hear about people who have lost so much, being turned on by the system that they served. I really just wish everything could be better for those who need help.
5 edits, I know your attempting to be precise and speaking from your heart mate. I agree with what you've posted. I believe the study of the martial arts is a look inward. We can not move forward without acknowledging our faults and setting out to improve on the short comings we have seen. To posture tough and superior only serves to point to our shortcomings. Unfortunately those that need our support don't receive it when we roll about in our own insecurities. The circle is only broken if we are willing to look in and look out. It's difficult to put others needs ahead of our own problems. But to solve this problem we must address the needs of others first.Stryke wrote:I think folks can learn from the sharing mate
Its the judgment , the thought somehow your weak our didn't prepare that others can impose on you
Its real ignorance . Such courage , if only the rest of us all had the courage to admit to ourselves it could happen to anyone. Easier to remain strong than be vulnerable
And we end up In this viscous circle.
It's akin to the ignorance that some sort of martial prowess its the answer, its all statistics and odds, and we've got to acknowledge it can go against you.

text: World Heroes showed up at the Circle K just down the street from where I lived in 1992. I lived in a very small town, so I would go to the Circle K in the middle of the night with a pair of headphones and play the shit out of the Neo Geo 4-slot they had there. It wasn't long before I dominated on World Heroes, and quite honestly it was really easy to beat the computer using Dragon. Then later I got deadly with Brocken against other human opponents. In spite of its rather simplistic design, I have a lot of fond nostalgia feelings for the game now.

The Cloudbook Advantage in a Multi-Device World
At work, I read a lot of material, online and offline — seriously, it's like a constant in my workflow. That being said, when I'm not reading I'm likely writing something or thinking about what I'm going to write.
When I'm pondering the type of story I'll work on next, I'm often in front of my notebook computer and widescreen monitor (like I am right now, as I write this paragraph), with hands resting on the keyboard — in hopeful anticipation, for the epiphany that might appear.
If I want to research something while at work, my always-on computer with constant internet connection enables me to simply pop-open a browser and… (well, you know the rest of this routine). But, when I'm at home it's a different environment. Yes, I have broadband access through a Wi-Fi router – No, I don't typically have my notebook PC turned on all the time.
Instead, when I want to go to the Web I open the lid on my cloudbook (a generic term for my Samsung Chromebook) and in a matter of seconds, I'm able to do what I need — without hesitation. Instant-on access to the web is a very familiar concept to anyone who uses a media tablet.
If you haven't yet gained the freedom to instantaneously go from a power-down state to a ready-to-use state in a few seconds, then you'll have to trust me when I tell you that it's truly liberating (particularly for someone like me, given what I do for a living). When an idea or an inspiration comes to mind, there's no boot-up-and-wait… to hold me back.
Granted, I could have purchased a tablet that transforms into a cloudbook-like device (with the addition of an add-on keyboard), but I prefer something that's purpose-built — because it performs, with the best overall value, where I want it to excel.
The Quest for Ubiquitous Connectivity
You may recall, in my last story about "My Connected Life in the Cloud," I shared some insights regarding my research on professional productivity advances, along with several examples of cloud-based applications that I utilize via a Software-as-a-Service model.
There's a growing body of knowledge that helps us all to comprehend the future possibilities of these and other related developments that are the foundation for a new era in ICT-enabled productivity advances.
On May 16, during a global webcast, Cisco announced findings from the Cisco IBSG Horizons Study of 600 U.S. IT and business leaders, and revealed what savvy CIOs know to be true — the BYOD and desktop virtulization phenomenon, plus the user-driven demand to embrace mobility, doesn't have to be a disruptive force within the enterprise.
Focus on the upside potential. You can embrace this transition now, with open arms — thereby empowering your organization leaders and their employees to seize the unique business opportunities that result from the rapid evolution of mobility and user-defined devices.
Market Outlook: According to the latest market study by ARCchart, users will drive the cloudbook from a low base in 2011, to an 80 million unit market by 2015, achieving CAGR of 84% over this period, which is comparable to the growth of netbook PCs during their peak.
The intelligent network has an essential role in making this transition possible for everyone. Furthermore, mobile service providers are actively pre-provisioning their network infrastructure to accommodate these emerging user requirements for more adaptive mobility solutions.
Case in point: let's consider the combination of cell-based mobile broadband access and the alternative use of value-added public Wi-Fi hotspots. Like many of today's latest smartphone devices, the cloudbook that I use is equipped with both cellular network and high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity. I'm therefore fully prepared for most wireless internet access scenarios.
Cisco offers solutions that can enable high performance mobile networks, with seamless roaming between cellular and Wi-Fi networks, all while helping to ensure the experience is optimized for the service and devices being used.
How is all this advanced wireless network technology being applied in practice? For example, BT is deploying Wi-Fi across the entire city of London to help keep up with the demand that will only increase during the London 2012 Olympic Games. View the following video to learn more about this remarkable project.

Commissioner Moeller's opening remarks at the technical conference on policies regarding market monitoring
"Thank you for making the effort to be here today to discuss a topic that has received attention from various stakeholders ranging from state entities to market participants. One of my policy priorities is the need for well-functioning markets. I am convinced that market monitors play a crucial role in making markets function better for the consumer's benefit. As has already been noted, we are today examining the different roles -- and sometimes more than one role -- that a market monitor has to play. I recognize that having many masters, some wielding regulatory or economic power, is very challenging.
I expect at the end of today's conference to have learned more about what roles market monitors believe they should play, the roles that RTOs and ISOs expect them to play, the states' and FERC's expectations, and the benefits for the consumer of having a monitor for the market.
I am also interested in hearing about market monitors that have reconciled conflicting duties and how difficult or easy that task has been, and whether such successes can be adopted by others.
In addition, please provide your thoughts on the guidance provided in the 2005 policy statement: was it helpful, too broad, too limiting, or too vague? What changes would you like FERC to make to define the market monitor's role and should it be done generically or on a case-by-case basis?
Finally, on a different note, I would like to hear from panelists if bilateral markets should be monitored, especially ones located near organized markets, as some have suggested.
Thank you again for being here and I am looking forward to hearing from all the panelists and engaging in some thoughtful discussions."

Product Highlights
How to Set Up and Shoot Awesome Interviews with LED Lights from Vortex Media is all about making your presentations more professional and consistent. It doesn't matter what video camera you use, what questions you ask or what your budget is, without the proper lighting to make your subject look his/her best, the interview will not come off as a success.
This DVD, produced by a very seasoned and knowledgeable videographer/producer, will show you how to achieve the best results by not only teaching you the basics of good lighting, but various other aspects of shooting including camera placement, composition, depth-of-field, exposure, and white balance.
Doug focuses on LED lighting for several reasons. LEDs are cost-effective, lighter to carry around than traditional hot lights, are faster and easier to work with and are better for the environment since they require less heat to operate. The DVD will lead you through what you should have equipment-wise as well as steering you away from what you really don't need. Once you've mastered Doug's protocol, you may decide never to use your older tungsten lights again.

Blu Tuesday: Die Hard, Zombie Love and More
After last week's disappointing haul, Blu-ray fans will be pleasantly surprised by the wealth of new releases arriving in stores today. In addition to the movies covered below, you can also pick up other high-profile tiles like "Breaking Bad: Season Five," "Falling Skies: Season Two," "Adventure Time: Season Two" and "Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection," all of which I recommend. Though it's a bit strange that the studios would release so many great titles in the same week, it just means that you'll have to be extra mindful of my suggestions.
The "Die Hard" series may have proven that it still had some life left in it with 2007's "Live Free or Die Hard," but the latest installment is so shockingly dull that the studio would have been better off ending it there. Not only is it the weakest entry in the action franchise, but it's so generic in just about every way that the only thing that makes it feel like a "Die Hard" movie at all is the inclusion of John McClane, and even he seems like a watered-down version of the character we know and love. After bringing back McClane's daughter in the last film, it made sense to incorporate his son Jack into the story this time around. But while that dynamic may have sounded great on paper, it doesn't work as well in execution. A lot of that falls on Skip Woods' awful script, and between the clichéd plot and recycled jokes, "A Good Day to Die Hard" feels like a direct-to-video action film that's replaced key characters with members of the McClane family. Director John Moore takes it one step further by sucking almost all the fun out of the experience. Though he clearly takes pride in the sheer ridiculousness of the violent set pieces, it's mostly just a bunch of noise, and not terribly exciting to watch either.
Blu-ray Highlight: A review copy wasn't provided in time, but if the list of bonus material is any indication, the extras are probably the best thing on the disc.
Director Jonathan Levine has tackled some pretty ballsy material in his short career, but "Warm Bodies" is easily his most adventurous and challenging project yet, if only because the subject matter is about as outside-the-box as you can get. Based on Isaac Marion's young adult novel of the same name, the movie plays out like "Romeo and Juliet" by way of George Romero – a post-apocalyptic fairy tale that takes quite a few liberties with zombie film mythology along the way. One of the biggest changes is that eating someone's brains now comes with the added effect of absorbing their memories. It doesn't exactly make sense, but it's essential to the story that Levine is trying to tell. And for the most part, he gets away with it, thanks mainly to his two leads. Teresa Palmer does a good job playing the love interest (a more proactive damsel in distress who could kick Bella Swan's butt), while Nicholas Hoult's performance is nothing short of impressive considering a bulk of his speaking lines are delivered in hilariously self-aware narration. The film drags a bit in the middle, but Levine's script is bursting with such wry, dark humor that it just barely tips the scales in its favor.
Blu-ray Highlight: Same deal as above, and with a collection of extras that includes a cast and crew commentary and production featurettes on everything from casting and locations, to make-up and stunts, some of it will surely be worth checking out.

Dental Corner: How to detect and treat feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions
Feb 01, 2005
Tooth resorption is the most common dental problem in cats, with studies worldwide showing a prevalence rate (in cats presented for dental problems) of up to 75%. Many species of animals as well as people experience various types of tooth resorption, but no other species experiences the prevalence of this condition that cats do. Resorptions of permanent teeth in cats have commonly been referred to as feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs). They have also been called neck lesions, cervical line erosions, and feline caries.
CLINICAL APPEARANCE AND DIAGNOSISOn oral examination, FORLs are often associated with a localized, cherry-red, sometimes hyperplastic area of gingivitis (Figure 2). The teeth most commonly affected are the mandibular third premolars; however, all 30 of a cat's teeth are at risk. An FORL can be demonstrated on oral examination by gently brushing the suspected lesion with a thin wisp from a broken wooden cotton-tipped swab or a coarse paper point tip. Gently stimulating these lesions often invokes a strong jaw-chattering response. FORLs are best diagnosed on oral examination of an anesthetized patient by probing with a dental explorer. Record any tooth crown or root defects in a dental chart. Other clinical signs that may be associated with FORLs include a bony bulge over the root of an affected tooth that may occur because of an osteoproliferative response to the root resorption (Figures 3A & 3B). The maxillary canine teeth are most commonly affected with this bone proliferation.

Pumping sucks.
Yep, a bad pun.
But it does. It boggles my mind that women choose to pump over nursing. It's hard work. Harder than breastfeeding actually. Give yourself a bit of time, make sure your equipment will let you succeed -- like too many moms try to pump with less than efficient pumps, wrong horns, whatever -- and you will improve.
Get a hands free bra as it will help you have more flexibility while you pump. And I think a computer, iPod, iPhone, smartphone or something like that helps too. Keeps your mind off it.
And don't focus on ounces right not. Just work on getting a routine in place.

Babo-chan is looking forward seeing
Click here to
download Team Profile in pdf format
Volleyball, just like its culture and
lifestyle, is full of passion and flavor
and it is these qualities the women's
national side will be counting on for
an improved performance in the 2003
World Cup.
Brazil, ranked seventh in the world,
are currently going through a
rebuilding phase and with that, they
have attracted a lot of off court
pressure as the team looks to return
to its glory days of the 1990s.
Following a seventh place finish at
the 2003 World Grand Prix
coach Marco Motta was replaced by José
Roberto Lages Guimarães, Olympic
champion in Barcelona 1992 with the
men's national team.
first move by Guimarães was to bring
back many players who had been away
from the courts for a long time.
Erika, Elisângela, Fernanda Venturini,
Fofão and Walewska will help Brazil
try and improve upon their bronze
medal at the last World Cup in 1999.
These are also players who picked up
bronze at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
However, in his reshuffle Guimarães
didn't forget the new generation. He
is also working with some young talent
in the way of attackers Paula Pequeno
and Sassá and the middle blockers
Valeskinha and Fabiana Claudino.
Fabiana, for example, just won the
gold medal at the Junior World
Championships earlier this year in
Thailand where she received the best
attacker award.
The first step in this new era for
Brazil has already been taken having
won all their matches at the South
American Continental Championship in
Colombia to qualify for the World Cup
as Continetal champions. The second
step took place in Texas, United
States, where Brazil won three of four
friendly matches against the USA (3-0,
3-0, 3-1).
Now everyone waits to see if they can
complete step three and qualify for
the Olympics at the World Cup.

Balfour Beatty has just announced the sale of its professional services division, Parsons Brinckerhoff, to WSP Global for a cash consideration of US$1,352.5 million (£820 million). The sale price assumes cash of US$110 million (£67 million) is retained within Parsons Brinckerhoff.
The sale is conditional upon the approval of Balfour Beatty's shareholders, and the transaction is also subject to certain antitrust and other approvals. Completion of the sale of Parsons Brinckerhoff is expected in Q4 2014.
WSP's press announcement states: "Since the companies possess complementary skills and serve complementary segments and geographies with limited overlap in operations, the acquisition is also aligned with WSP's growth strategy of:
· capitalizing on opportunities in countries where it has a strong and well-established presence, such as the UK;
· enhancing its position in industrialized regions where the Corporation [WSP] is established but does not have a significant presence, such as the US and Australia;
· expanding its offerings and capabilities in its core segments, such as buildings and infrastructure, to increase its expertise and offerings worldwide; and

Wabash, ranked 11th in the nation in the latest D3hoops.com poll, led by as many as 26 points midway through the final period before an 11-2 run in the last five minutes of the contest allowed the Battling Bishops to close the score to 12 points.
The Little Giants dominated the outshooting in the game, connecting on 11-of-29 three-pointers. Defensively Wabash shut out OWU from beyond the arc. The Battling Bishops missed all 14 of their three-point shot attempts.
"We didn't execute in the closing minutes of the game," Assistant Coach Antoine Carpenter said. "We made a couple of bad turnovers or took too many quick shots. Then defensively we gave up too many easy baskets late in the game, allowing them (Ohio Wesleyan) to cut into our lead."
Wabash scored the first 12 points of the game, with senior Wes Smith (right) hitting two consecutive three points to opening the offensive attack. Brian Shelbourne added a jumper in the lane, followed by four more points for Smith to put the Little Giants up big in the first five minutes of the contest. The Bishops would get as close as six points before a three-pointer barrage ended any chance of an early comeback.
Senior Andrew Gilman came off the bench to hit the first long-range shot, followed by back-to-back treys for junior AJ Sutherlin, who finished with a season-best 12 points.
"AJ really hit some big shots for us tonight," Carpenter said. "That really got us going in the first half and allowed to us to pull away to the big lead."
That lead became as many as 19 points in the closing minutes of the half before Wabash settled for a 35-18 halftime advantage.
Ohio Wesleyan (3-5, 1-1 NCAC) started the scoring in the second half with a Tim Brady layup, but the Little Giants responded with two three-pointers from Aaron Zinnerman to stretch the lead to 21 points. Another Sutherlin three made it a 53-27 ball game with 11:43 remaining before the Bishops began whittling away at the lead. OWU would trim the advantage to 12 points with 2:05 left to play, but would get no closer.
Smith led Wabash with 17 points and 15 rebounds, recording his first double-double of the season. He also recorded three steals, giving him 201 for his career to become the first player in Wabash history to have 200 or more career steals.
Ben Burkett added nine points, while Shelbourne finished eight. Brad scored 18 points to lead Ohio Wesleyan in scoring. Reuel Rogers chipped in 10 points off the bench for the Battling Bishops.
Wabash is 2-0 in NCAC play for the first time since the 2005-2006 Little Giant team won its first three conference games. Wabash travels to Kenyon College for a Saturday league tilt at 3 p.m.
