It was the only time the Eagles (9-6, 5-1 NAC) struck in the fourth quarter, and the fifth time in the game that Husson lit the scoreboard in the final minute of a quarter. Pelletier's goal answered a Mariners' (4-7, 4-3 NAC) three-goal spurt early in the final quarter that evened the game at 7-7.

David Gardner MailOnline.com May 30th, 2012 Reader Views: 294
The United Nations is set to issue an urgent warning to guard against the most powerful computer virus ever unleashed amid fears it could be used to bring countries to a standstill.
In what was being seen last night as the dawn of a new era in cyber warfare, UN computer security chief Marco Obiso said: 'This is the most serious warning we have ever put out.'
He was speaking after it was revealed that a massive superbug had been used to hack into computers in Iran.
Israel did little to dispute claims yesterday that it was behind the clandestine online assault.
The sophisticated spyware – said to be about 100 times the size of most malicious software – also hacked other machines in the Middle East, including Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Egypt, but Iran appeared to be the primary target, according to a Russian Internet security firm.
Mr. Obiso, cyber security coordinator for the UN's International Telecommunications Union, said the warning will underline the danger the virus represents to the critical infrastructure of member nations.
Dubbed 'Flame', the Trojan bug worms its way into computer systems and reportedly turns infected machines into listening devices.
It can activate a computer's audio system to eavesdrop on Skype calls or office chatter, take screenshots or log keystrokes and even suck information from Bluetooth-enabled phones left nearby.
The Russians discovered the virus after being asked by the United Nations to find a piece of mystery malware that was wiping out sensitive information across the Middle East.
It is believed to have been coded by the same programmers who hacked into Iran's nuclear programme six years ago.
Last night, Iran's National Computer Emergency Response Team posted a security alert saying it believed Flame was responsible for 'recent incidents of mass data loss.' It also claimed an antidote had been found.
The discovery of the Flame virus came just days after talks between Iran and six world powers in Baghdad failed to persuade Tehran to freeze uranium enrichment. A new round of talks is expected to take place in Moscow next month.

Is this new? I know of others who say someone was listening on the cell phone_there is a.free app.
Electronics are your enemy. Treat them as such don't aide them. Trust none suspect all. Prepare your ruse and confuse. This Armed Hunter uses 0′s and 1′s. Run.
its all smoke and mirrors. Keeps us jumpin at shadows. They know without technology we are almost helpless. I would be much more worried about the elite jokers in VA this week than a trojan virus in Iran. Wake up people and stop the fearmongering.
@The Arizona Patriot, The GOVERNMENT is helpless without electronics, we citizens can function perfectly fine without them…WELL, maybe not our teen ager citizens LOL
Fearmongering? Are you retarded? If the internet gets shut down life as we know it is OVER. Everybody would be back into a 1960 state,where you have to Mail letters for communications,and online businesses would lose billions of dollars if not completely collapse. Where information gathering would be IMPOSSIBLE,on all fronts.
as much as I enjoy technology, a trip back to the 50′s & 60′s would be a blessing! morality, truthfulness, honesty, decentcey, people were more real -

MSOE Athletic Hall of Fame
Entering his thirteenth season as the Raiders head wrestling coach at the time of his induction, Kevin Morin's coaching career at MSOE is unrivaled. With a record that boasts a remarkable nine team championships, Morin has been instrumental in building the MSOE wrestling program to its current NCAA Division III national acclaim and dominant reputation. A coach whose integrity is equal to his expertise, Morin's coaching style incorporates guidance and direction, simultaneously developing his athletes' characters while shaping them into championship contenders.
Morin, who has brought MSOE an impressive five Lake Michigan Conference Team championships (1998, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005), also teaches his wrestlers that achieving a strong academic record is important in becoming a successful athlete at MSOE. He has coached an exceptional four consecutive National Wrestling Coaches Association NCAA III Academic All-American National Championship teams (2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005), fourteen National Wrestling Coaches Association NCAA III Academic All-American wrestlers, and one COSIDA First-Team Academic All-American athlete. Individually, his wrestlers have earned the division's highest honors, including two NCAA All-Americans, and Morin has led wrestlers in winning sixty tournament championships, including twenty-seven Lake Michigan Conference championships.
Coach Morin's devotion to his athletes and commitment to excellence has been recognized by his peers with multiple awards and honors. He has received the highly esteemed Lake Michigan Conference Coach of the Year award an astounding five times, was named NCAA III Great Lakes Regional Coach of the Year in 2002, and in 2002 and 2003 was selected the Wisconsin Wrestling Coaches Association College Coach of the Year. Morin has also been honored by the National Wrestling Coaches Association with the prestigious NCAA III Bob Bubb Coaching Excellence award, for his athletic and academic achievements in the sport.
As of 2006, Morin continues to serve in his dual role as MSOE's head wrestling coach and director of human resources. His paramount achievements are powerful indicators of what the future holds for the MSOE wrestling program.

29. Cape Arago
Should you be clear down in North Bend and pass a highway sign humbly marked "Ocean Beaches," you'd be wise to take a detour. Though 15 miles seems a long way to drive when beaches flank the rest of Highway 101, the sublime parks of the Cape Arago peninsula are among the best in the state. To access these seaside gems, pass through the marina in the village of Charleston, turn right off Route 240 onto Boat Basin Drive, and then turn left on Coos Head Loop. Keep right at the fork and you'll be heading up the promontory of Coos Head. Pop out at points here and there to get the lay of the land: the broad sands of Bastendorff Beach; the defunct Cape Arago lighthouse on Chief Island; and, still stuck in the sand, the last 200-foot section of the New Carissa, which ran aground here in 1999.
Once you've had your fill of the views, continue south to the beach at Sunset Bay State Park, a great place to let the kids frolic in the surf, since the sheer rock walls diminish both wind and waves. But save a bit of your energy for Shore Acres, about a mile down the road, where you'll find an observation building that was once the site of a cliff-top mansion. Although the home is gone, its lush gardens have been restored, and if you walk behind the lily pond and open the wooden gate, you'll discover a hidden path leading to a concealed beach called Simpson Beach, which is neatly hemmed in by dramatic, sand-colored cliffs.
Back in the car, head another mile south to the overlooks at Simpson Reef, where, binoculars braced against the railing, you can watch northern elephant seals and sea lions. You may even catch a glimpse of one of Shell Island's adorable harbor seal pups, born between March and June. Sunset Bay State Park, oregonstateparks.org; Shore Acres State Park, shoreacres.net
30. Langlois Market
In the tiny town of Langlois (pronounced, much to the fury of one local French émigré, "LANG-loy"), you'll find what just might be the best general store in the state, fully provisioned with popcorn, flyswatters, cranberry wine, some good-looking steaks, and, most important, its self-proclaimed "famous" hot dogs. The short, plump beef franks from Hills Meat Co in Pendleton are diligently—though inexplicably—peeled from their snappy outer casings, then blistered brown under heat lamps. Best taken in the house-prescribed style, with the homemade sweet-hot mustard and sliced icebox pickles, they're the single best meal on the coast that can be had for only $1.99. 48444 Hwy 101; 541-348-2476
31. Humbug Picnic Area
You'll encounter plenty of opportunities to spend your dollars on myrtlewood products on your coast travels: Myrtlewood, which you'll find in the countless salad bowls and sculpted knickknacks sold in tourist shops, is prized for its color variations, picked up from minerals in the soil. Few get to see the graceful, broadleaf evergreens, however, which typically grow farther inland—a good reason to seek out the thriving stand of trees at the picnic area located on the east side of 1,748-foot-tall Humbug Mountain. Pluck one of the leaves and smash it in your hand to release a fragrance of camphor and root beer, a scent that will linger long after your trip ends. Park at the Humbug day-use area lot.

TechSmith was founded in 1987 by William Hamilton, who remains the company's president today. TechSmith initially developed custom software for Windows, to be used in various commercial applications.
In 1991, the company responded to a market demand for screen capture tools by launching its first independent product, SnagIt®. SnagIt quickly became a word-of-mouth wonder, and its use for screen capture and editing spread rapidly. Today, there are more than 7 million SnagIt users worldwide.
The lessons TechSmith learned from SnagIt's video capture feature inspired the development of Camtasia, TechSmith's screen video recording tool, which was released in 1999. At that time, the demand for video capture was growing, even though hardware and software had not matured enough to fully handle it yet. A critical part of Camtasia's success was the TechSmith Screen Capture Codec (TSCC), which provides lossless compression of screen content. Nothing could rival Camtasia's video quality and capture performance.
Camtasia went through two major releases before being renamed Camtasia Studio in October of 2002. The product changed significantly to merit a new name and new launch. Camtasia Studio's suite of tools included Recorder, Producer (which eventually became the editor) and Player. Newer applications like MenuMaker and Effects were added later to round out the product, and a launch pad application was created as a front end to all of the new functionality.

Every Valentine's Day, some boyfriends and husbands struggle with the dilemma of buying lingerie. Is it cheesy or romantic?
If you're taking the plunge and buying something lacy for your lady friend, here are some guidelines:
- Put some thought into it – Make sure you're officially dating (or married to) the woman, have already slept together and know for a fact that she already owns lingerie.
- Have a plan – Know your lady. If she loves to wear dresses, you might be able to get her something racy. If she's shy about her body, stay away from thongs.
- Stay classy – if you get her something cheap, the fabric will probably be harsh and itchy – and she'll never forgive you.
- Do the math – You gotta know her size. You cannot guess.

text: This summer sees the 40th anniversary of the release of one of rock music's most iconic albums. The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars was David Bowie's fifth studio album and it made it into record shops in June, 1972. It's basically a concept album that draws upon science fiction and rock mythology to tell the story of a musician named Ziggy Stardust and his band, The Spiders From Mars. The concept is a loose one as not all the songs on the album relate to the overall concept and one of them (It Ain't Easy) is a cover of a song by a guy called Ron Davies. Nevertheless, the album's packaging, marketing, sequencing and overall sound certainly made it seem like all the songs were connected and it also helped that Bowie and the band adopted the fictional band's persona in concert and television appearances. Of course, the decision to wear the group's "futuristic" costumes during this period was a big factor in maintaining the illusion. The album contains some of Bowie's best songs (Starman and Ziggy Stardust) but, like all great records, its strength lies in the consistency of the work and that it can be enjoyed from beginning to end

GROWING UP AS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN KID in Virginia, I used to appreciate the collection of positive stories about black people I'd get in the paper and on TV around this time every year. Stories about schoolchildren like me reciting portions of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, for instance, or of volunteers receiving kudos for their work in the black community and praising the inspiration of King or George Washington Carver or Rosa Parks. While their accomplishments were extraordinary, at the end of another February I've reached the point at which I can no longer stand to see the "history" part of Black History Month interpreted so literally — so lazily .
I'm all for celebrating achievements. The problem is, with our eyes too firmly fixed on the past, we're missing all the things black people are accomplishing right now.
I watched a three-hour documentary on WGBH the other night about the women's movement. I consider myself a feminist and thought I was semi-knowledgable about the broad outlines of the movement. I was astonished at how much I don't know, and it made me think about the fact that the women's movement is so much less well-studied, celebrated and acknowledged as the civil rights movement. And the fact is there are few quarters left in society where being openly racist is tolerated (I realize there are still virulent pockets of it and that passive racism is still quite pervasive) but it's still ok to question whether women are as capable and worthy as men. The women's movement is not nearly as celebrated as the civil rights movement and in fact I think there is still a lot of ambivalence about it, even among women who have benefited from it (which is every woman in the US). We don't have a holiday to celebrate the accomplishments of women and acknowledge their struggle. Why don't we celebrate Susan B. Anthony's (or somebody else's) birthday with a holiday? I get what the author is saying about needing to move on past the staples - I just wish the women's movement was so fortunate.

You have to really tell us what kind of budget you have - terms like "don't have a ton of money" are meaningless without an actual dollar point of reference.
Now, one thing in your favor - September is "Low season" in the Caribbean so no matter where you go you should find the lowest room rates of the year. Remember though, room rates are all relative, Luxury 5-star resorts will still be much more expensive 3-star resorts on the same island. On the other hand many places close during that time period so your hotel/resort choices maybe somewhat limited. All is not lost though since there still will be plenty of choices on most islands and if you have realistic expectations you probably will be able to find accommodations on just about any island that will fit your budget, whatever that may be.
Second, look at destinations like the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cancun and Playa del Carmem (just a 40 minute drive from Cancun) as those are traditional the least expensive destinations in the Caribbean. They have lots of All Inclusives which are a good way for the budget traveler to control costs. They are also destinations which have some of the lowest r/t airfares from many US International Gateway cities so that too will help.
God luck in your search. -
Report Abuse
I meant to add, when giving us your "budget", tell us if it is just for your accommodations or it includes airfare, food and/or "activities".
Report Abuse
Check out Negril Jamaica or the Mayan Riviera of Mexico as suggested around Playa del Carmen.
That said, September is not really the best month weather-wise for any of the island/beach places as it is rainy season. -
Report Abuse
Thanks so much for your replies
My budget is approx $1,500 includes a/f and food....
I am sad to learn it is the rainy season in the Carribean, however, I am an ER Nurse and unable to take time off any sooner...
Thanks again!!! -
Report Abuse
Honestly, $1,500 for airfare, a week's stay at a resort and food is a pretty slim budget, even for September but it s probably doable if you keep your expectations reasonable as far as accommodations are concerned. Concentrate your search to some of the All Inclusives in the Dominican Republic or Cancun. Check out package deals on some of the well know travel websites like Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia as well as the websites for the major airlines that service Nashville. You may have to shorten your trip by a couple of days to do it for that budget.
Report Abuse
Look into applevacations.com and funjet. They offer some good package deals and sept. is low season. ' Your best bet would be Mexico's Riviera Maya or Punta Cana, DR.
Report Abuse
That's my usual budget when I'm solo at the beach in either Waikiki or Puerto Vallarta (but I'm starting in Seattle). I've done it many time. I can stay 7-12 days for that. Approx. budget goes $500 air, $500 apartment or hotel, and $500 eating/walking around money.
It depends how you like to travel, for myself, I'd rather be on my own and don't stay at all-inclusives. So Cancun and Punta Cana would not be my picks. Though they might work for what you are seeking. -
Report Abuse
Thanks so much for all the replies, as I stated I am new to this forum....I did not mean to insinuate that I have to take all ten days for vacation on only $1500...I was merely stating the days in which I am able to vacation.....
Report Abuse
The thing about the packaged vacations some people are suggestion is they most often are set up based upon "double occupancy". If they ding you with a significant "single supplement" than they aren't such a good deal for solo people.
I know for myself, I've never found a package that would be cheaper than be just booking my own airfare and a modest hotel (i've done this in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Waikiki, Negril). -
Report Abuse
Suze makes some great points about solo travel and about Mexico and Jamaica being the most affordable with the added bonus of they are likely easily reached from Nashville. You should definitely check out Negril, Jamaica.
Aruba is also a not too expensive island with a variety of accommodations and easily reached. It is also generally out of the hurricane belt so your chances are lessened a bit of a hurricane making a direct hit.
I would still check with a couple of travel agencies/providers to see what they have for solo travel. September is very low season and they might have inventory they need to fill. You might get lucky! -
Report Abuse
I don;'t know where you're coming from so I don't know what your airfare issues would be, but might I make another suggestion: if you're going alone & you want to relax plus have fun & meet some nice peo, why not try singlescruise.com
Sept is cheaper & you can get a reasonable room if you don't mind an interior room.
I went last yr & had such a nice time. I love cruises, but most of the passengers are either couples or families, so unless you go w/ a singles group it's not ideal for a single woman. But if you have a group, you know there are other singles to hang w/ - & you can pretty much spend as much time as you want to w/them. There will be various events set up for you, but you are under no obligation to go to them. \
They will provide you w/ a roommate. What's nice is, go to their website & they have message boards. There are the general ones, which I would suggest you go to now & you can post questions, etc & get an idea of what goes on & the type of peo you can meet.
Plus you can see what cruises are coming up. In fact, you may be able to hook up w/ another woman who also needs a roommate.
Once you actually book the cruise, there is ANOTHER PRIVATE message board for folks who are going on that specific cruise. You can chat & get acquainted w/ peo even before the trip, which is really nice.
You can probably get an interior cabin for about $800-900. All your meals are included. You only pay for drinks & if you attend some of the singles parties there are drinks included.
I highly recommend it! -

$1500 solo for the type of atmosphere you want, id check airfares and packages to Jamaica(modest hotel Negril), Cancun/Playa Del Carmen(3.5*-4* AI), and Puerto Vallarta(4* AI)

What 4-star in Puerto Vallarta has these prices FrankS? Can you name a few specific resorts for us please?

Nope, not double occupancy..... Fall has some great prices and you dont have to hunt very hard either
Just go to Expedia and do a search -

Singles cruises. Am looking at doing this next year. They have cruises where you don't pay the singles surcharge. Sounds good to me!

Thanks for the answer Frank. I've never heard of packages not based on double occupancy. So that is very surprising.

You are welcome MsCharlie, let us know what you find
Its pretty neat. On one group AI trip to Riviera Maya we saved almost $1000 by booking 1 quad occupancy & 2 single occupancies vs 3 doubles

There was yet another security breach inside the government this week and this one involved an employee sending personal information via the Internet.
What in the world does that mean?
Open letter to the White House CIO: please better define what you mean by Internet. As I said in earlier blog posts, whenever you pull people into the middle of information technology it is unreasonable to expect that they will self-enforce 100% of the policies 100% of the time. We won't lock our laptops all the time. We won't choose passwords that are totally random with a combination of numbers and punctuation (my WEP password for my wireless router is based on the key 3210abcdef!) No matter how many encryption products you put on our desktop we will forget to use them and we won't check for SSL encryption and check the certificate on every website that we go to.
So what is company to do? They must make the assumption that people will shy away from following policy when following that policy the policy stymies their productivity. (And from what I've seen many corporate policies do stymie productivity) Companies need to deploy technologies that allow them to transparently manage and enforce security and usage policies.
Okay ladies and gentlemen, here is the one crisp and pithy statement from your dear blogger:
"The protection of data should be a consistent concern and process throughout all areas of the company; whether it's an administrative assistant writing a credit card number on a Post-it or it's your SAP module sending information to an EDI translator and out to a business partner."
Okay that wasn't so pithy but here is another one: "Information security policies must be clear and straightforward and assuming that you can cover everything by using blanket terms like "personal information should not be sent over the Internet unencrypted" actually increases the risk that you will end up on the front page of Google News, because someone in your organization surely has a different interpretation of what it means to send information over the Internet."

Property details
Bedrooms: 4
A fabulous country residence that is believed to be the oldest existing property in Turton, after Turton Tower itself. Dating from about 1500 or earlier, it has of course been thoughtfully modernised to provide a spacious and very desirable family home that blends the character of 2'3 thick stone walls and crook beam construction with that of the necessities of modern day living, ie gas central heating, double glazing, ensuite facilities, luxury kitchen and conservatory etc.
The property is approached via a concrete driveway off Bury Road and this is known as Birches Road (not the Birches Road in Edgworth near the Spread Eagle restaurant) and has been adopted by Blackburn Council, this road is about 1/3 mile and passes through the farm yard before turning left into a hamlet of only 4 properties. The cottage is attached to the farm house, although this is not immediately obvious, and enjoys the benefit of a beautiful landscaped garden and wonderful open views towards St Anne's Church and the Wayoh reservoir.
Briefly comprises, integral storm porch, hall, 22' x 19'9 lounge, 13' x 19' uPVC glass conservatory with fabulous open views, heavily beamed 17' x 17'3 dining room with stairs off, recently installed professionally fitted kitchen/breakfast room, rear porch, cloaks w.c, spacious landing exposed framework of ancient timbers, four bedrooms, ensuite to master, family bathroom, double garage, ample car parking on private driveway.
Any viewer is sure to be impressed and viewing comes with our highest recommendation.

For the past couple of weeks, this column has contained criticisms of Mr President's handling of various leadership challenges.
Last week, I wrote about conflicts (legal and otherwise) between my Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, and his opponents in Rivers State and the Presidency (the former insist that they are operating independently and are not being backed by the latter. But many onlookers are finding it hard to take this denial seriously).
Uche Igwe is a doctoral researcher at Sussex University in the UK. He is attached to the university's Centre For The Study Of Corruption and has just sent me an article that he recently wrote, partly as a response to the Presidency's claim that widespread speculations about Dr Goodluck Jonathan's 2015 plans are not only riddled with falsehoods but are unnecessary distractions.
Last week, I complained about the fact that Glo did not honour a "special offer" that was conveyed to me via a text message a couple of weeks ago.
SINCE Independence, most Nigerian politicians and government appointees have been woeful disappointments who have been either unwilling or unable to perform adequately.
Since my last column appeared, the world has lost two Women Of Substance. On Saturday April 6: Mrs Funmilayo Olayinka, the beautiful, intelligent, principled, hard-working and kind-hearted Deputy Governor of Ekiti State.
I HAVE just read a book called An Illustrated History Of The Jewish People. It was written by my dear friend, Lawrence Joffe; and it moved me to tears.
By Clara Nwachukwu
The National Council on Privatisation, NCP, yesterday set up Transition Committees for the 15 Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN successor companies whose preferred bidders recently paid the mandatory 25 percent of their bid values.
The move is in a bid to, amongst others, facilitate the smooth transition and eventual handover of [...]
LAST week, I said I thought that people who were attacking President Goodluck Jonathan for pardoning Alamieyeseigha, his former boss, were being too harsh.
Bonny Gas Transport, BGT, a subsidiary of Nigeria LNG Limited, NLNG, yesterday, finalised the deal for the acquisition of six new vessels valued at N254.4 billion ($1.6 billion).
PRESIDENT Jonathan has attracted near-universal condemnation, both in Nigeria and internationally, for pardoning Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, the former Governor of Bayelsa State, under whom he once served as a Deputy.
The US will become a net oil exporter late this year as domestic crude production surpasses imports for the first time in 18 years, the Energy Information Administration said Wednesday.
Helped by a surge in shale-based output in North Dakota and Texas, monthly crude production has pushed past seven million barrels a day and could reach eight million barrels a day by the beginning of 2014.
LAST week, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammed Sa'ad Abubakar III, condemned the government's crackdown on Boko Haram and said that President Goodluck Jonathan should grant "total amnesty" to the group's members.
David Cameron, the British Prime Minister, recently revealed that his wife, Samantha, regularly berates him for not having enough women in his Cabinet.
Crude oil fell more than $1 per barrel on Wednesday after U.S. government data showed domestic crude inventories rose much more than forecast.
U.S. crude stocks rose 3.83 million barrels in the week to March 1, the Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report. Analysts had forecast a 500,000-barrel build.
LAST week, I told you that my ex-husband and I want Oliver, our teenage son, to go to a British university for financial, familial and cultural reasons and that Oliver is saying that he doesn't like the UK much and that if we aren't willing or able to send him to university in America, he will not go to university at all and will apply for a job when he leaves secondary school later on this year.
A group of US chief executives across many different sectors have proposed a plan to boost domestic energy production and limit governmental regulation as a way to stimulate economic growth.
MY 17-year-old son, Oliver, warned me to never, ever write about him again nearly two years ago.
THE main Opposition parties – ACN, ANPP, CPC and APGA – recently merged to form a new political entity that will be known as the All Progressives Congress.
Expatriate workers in the Nigerian oil and gas sector are the highest paid in Africa and 11 most paid in the world, with an average annual salary of N22.246 million ($140,800), according to a global oil and gas salary survey.
RELIABLE sources tell me that President Goodluck Jonathan is becoming increasingly allergic to the advice to which he is subjected on a minute-by-minute basis.
LAST week, Elder Godsday Orubebe, the "Honourable" Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, decided to launch an attack on Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi – who heads the Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) as well as Rivers State.
LAST week, I told you about the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) study – which was published in the Washington Post. Having analysed the Quality Of Life in 80 different countries, it concluded that Nigeria is the worst place to be born in.
ACCORDING to a report that was recently published in the Washington Post newspaper, Nigeria is the worst country in the entire world to be born in.
I RECENTLY told you that a friend recently told me that when he attended a school reunion dinner in Lagos, 80 percent of the ex-classmates on his table said that they were so unhappy with the status quo that they would gladly flee to foreign climes if they could get their hands on foreign work permits.
IT is customary for columists to be especially reflective about the past, present and future at this significant annual turning point when old years are about to give way to new years. And I thought that it would be interesting to look back at some of the observations I made at the tail ends of 2010 and 2011…with a view to discovering whether anything has changed for the better or worse.
AS regular readers of this page will know, I rarely find anything good to say about the state of our nation. And, sure, there are people who accuse me of being unpatriotic. But this viewpoint is not the norm, in my experience. Most of the Nigerians with whom I've communicated in the past few years have encouraged me to keep criticising our leaders and complaining about multiple systems failures that have not only lumbered us with security problems and a high unemployment rate but deprived us of benefits such as round-the-clock electricity, a well-managed oil industry and decent hospitals, schools, roads, etc.
(firstname.lastname@example.com) is the most vociferous reader of this column. Highly opinionated, unrepentantly blunt and almost gleefully unsychophantic, he takes his democratic and human rights very seriously indeed and flatly refuses to be as bovinely philosophical as most of us are about the multiple disappointments that the average Nigerian faces.
It has to be said that Nigerian oil barons are not famed for passionately campaigning for the victims of oil exploration.

To promote education on women's heart health, CIS is holding a Women's Wine and Wellness Event on Aug. 31 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the CIS clinic at 1231 David Drive in Morgan City.
The free event will feature screenings for ankle brachial index. These simple, painless screenings test the blood flow in the legs to determine your risk for heart disease. Screening results will be available on site, and CIS cardiologists will be available to answer questions and provide risk assessments.
Participants also will be treated to hors d'oeuvres, red wine sampling and have the opportunity to win door prizes. "This is an opportunity for women to relax and unwind while monitoring their health at the same time," CIS officials said.
CIS is providing these free screenings to encourage women to learn the risk factors of cardiovascular disease and what steps are needed to reduce them.
Adapting a heart-healthy lifestyle and receiving appropriate medical care can help prevent cardiovascular disease. Common risk factors of heart disease in women include diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, smoking, obesity and an inactive lifestyle.
Anyone with these risk factors, or if experiencing pain in the legs such as cramping or swelling, they may be at risk.
To RSVP for the screening, or to learn more, call CIS at 985-872-5980.

#2: Add Moisture
During the winter months, we use the heating systems in our homes almost constantly. This not only drys out the air in our homes, it can dry out our bodies as well. Add a little moisture back in the air in the form of steam. A great option is to leave your child's bathroom door open during a hot bath to let the steam seep into their bedroom. Also, a humidifier is ideal for helping to break up congestion — and when you add a little organic eucalyptus or tree tea oil it can help with thinning mucus and provide overall relief. You may want to try running the humidifier during the night when your child sleeps, since that may be the time of the day when the flu is particularly unbearable for them.
#4: Take a Soak
Taking a soak in a bath may make your child feel better when they have the flu – however only if they aren't experiencing a fever. If they are, a cool bath may help to relieve their discomfort. In either event, adding 2 tablespoons of organic mustard powder and 1/4 cup organic baking soda to create a mustard bath is a great way to draw out the impurities in your child's body, since mustard has detoxifying properties.
[/caption]#5: Give a Massage
Sometimes the one thing that will make a child feel better than any medicine is the human touch. I like to lay on the sofa with my son whenever he is ill and give him a massage, foot rub or even just gently caress his hair and back. He also really enjoys when I make my homemade organic coconut chest rub and give him a chest massage. Doing so helps to break up his congestion and makes his body feel better too! It's an easy recipe of 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil mixed with 4 drops of organic eucalyptus, peppermint and lemon essential oils.
How do you help your child cope with the flu?

The Untouchable Dividend Payers
The methodology that gets me to the Eight Untouchables rests with an analysis of the dividend payout ratio, which has the twin characteristics of being one of the simplest and most useful ratios in fundamental equity analysis.
Simply put, the dividend payout ratio is: Dividends Per Share ÷ Earnings Per Share. For you purists out there the DPR is: Cash Common Dividends/(Income Before Extraordinary Items-Minority Interest - Cash Preferred Dividend) x 100.
The DPR is useful because it tells investors what percentage of profits are allocated to shareholders in the form of dividends, and conversely what percentage is ploughed back into the business. From this, all sorts of useful inferences can be made. Equally useful is the DPR over time, because it tells investors whether or not the company is sporting an unsustainable dividend or whether it is the company hording cash.
Before delving into the Untouchable dividend payers, one other interesting side note. For perspective, it's useful to look at the dividend payout ratio of the S&P 500 Index, as a whole, over the last 10 years.
Source: Bloomberg
I think this demonstrates two important points. First, note 2008, where the dividend payout ratio climbed to 107%, indicating when the bubble burst, just how much earnings fell, and just how much danger there was to future dividends.

Beluga whales probably live about 25 to 30 years.
Belugas probably live about 25 to 30 years.
As a beluga whale ages, it periodically produces growth layer groups of dental material. Age can be estimated by examining a sliced section of tooth and counting these layers. These estimations are most accurate in young whales, before the tooth's pulp cavity fills in. Researchers are currently investigating new tooth-aging methods. Scientific evidence indicates that belugas may deposit up to two growth layer groups annually.
Age can be estimated by examining a cross section of a tooth and counting growth layers.
Researchers use size and coloration to estimate relative ages of belugas. Because immature belugas lighten as they approach maturity, paler belugas are likely to be older than darker ones.
Killer whales and polar bears prey on beluga whale adults and calves.
Beluga whales have been hunted for centuries.
Since ancient times, indigenous Arctic peoples of Canada, Alaska, and Russia have hunted beluga whales for their meat, blubber, and skin. Tanned beluga skin, often referred to as "porpoise leather", is the only cetacean skin thick enough to be used as leather.
Industrial run-off in the St. Lawrence River has resulted in high levels of toxic chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT); and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium in the water.
These toxins become more concentrated as they are passed up the food chain.
PCBs and DDT are lipophilic; that is, they are readily stored in animal fat. Heavy metals are generally concentrated in other body tissues including the liver, kidneys, and muscles.
These toxins are thought to be responsible for the deaths and strandings of many belugas in the St. Lawrence River. Levels of these toxins in St. Lawrence belugas were found to be as much as a hundred times higher than in Arctic belugas. These toxic chemicals may cause a decline in a beluga's immune system, making it susceptible to pneumonia, ulcers, cysts, lesions, tumors, and bacterial infections. Low birth rates in the St. Lawrence River may be linked to industrial pollution.
Oil exploration and hydroelectric development cause significant alterations to beluga habitats.
As in any animal populations a variety of diseases can be responsible for beluga whale deaths. These include viral, bacterial, and fungal infections; skin diseases; tumors; heart disease; urogenital disorders; and respiratory disorders. Some of these disorders may be brought on or compounded by toxic contamination.
Beluga whales trapped by ice are often susceptible to predation by polar bears, starvation, and suffocation.

Russian NTV viewers on the streets
Several thousand people have demonstrated in the Russian city of St Petersburg against the takeover of the country's only independent nationwide television station, NTV.
The state-dominated gas company, Gazprom, ousted NTV's old board of directors in a boardroom coup on Tuesday, which journalists claim was a Kremlin-inspired move to curtail their criticism of the government. One of NTV's top presenters, Svetlana Sorokina, told the rally that NTV journalists would fight to the end to preserve their independence.
The NTV staff, whose reports have regularly criticised the government of President Vladimir Putin, say the Gazprom takeover would lead to government censorship. Talks held on Friday to try to resolve the dispute ended in failure, with the two sides exchanging angry accusations. Gazprom insists that the new management board was approved by a properly- constituted shareholders' meeting. And it insists it is interested only in the financial side of NTV. Outside interest US media mogul Ted Turner has stepped into the row, trying to buy shares in NTV, reportedly with backing from billionaire financier George Soros. The struggle for control over NTV has raised concern elsewhere in Europe over the future of a free press in Russia. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder says he will raise the TV dispute with President Putin when he visits Moscow this week. And in Strasbourg, the Council of Europe called on Russian authorities not to meddle in the media. |

"I want to produce a country album for a country singer," he said. "I feel like country music has a certain kind of pocket. It all sonically [comes together]. Are you ready to get satisfied sonically?"
B.o.B.'s desire to pull off a country album may have to wait though, as he is currently working on a follow-up to his Grammy-nominated record 'The Adventures of Bobby Ray.'
The rapper will be following in the footsteps of Athens, Ga. hip-hopper Nappy Roots, whose collaboration with the country-fried rhymes of Colt Ford and Nic Cowan made up the summer-ready 'Waste Some Time.'
