28 July 2017 | in FISU, World University League, 3x3 World University League
With the backing of FIBA and FISU other major players on the sports scene, 3x3 basketball is the largest team sport in the world
LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – This summer, all eyes will be on the 2017 Summer Universiade for what promises to be an exciting 12 days of high-energy, high-voltage and high-level competition in Chinese Taipei. Not long after, across the straight and on the mainland, the University Sports world's attention will shift to the garden city on China's southeast coast, Xiamen. In mid-September (14-17 to be exact), university 3x3 Basketball reaches its zenith with the 3x3 FISU World University League finals.
All told, 32 universities have earned the right to fight for the world titles men's and women's University 3x3 Basketball. With universities from more than 20 countries represented, the line-up of teams competing in this year's looks like it's an even higher level than the already excellent two previous editions.
Working as a joint venture between FISU, the Federation of University Sports of China (FUSC), and Huaqiao University as event organiser, the partnership is helping establish the 3.5 million inhabitant strong city of Xiamen and especially the Huaqiao campus as the centre of world university 3x3 Basketball.
With an intense competition format and an intimate environment where fans and foes surround the court, 3x3 basketball brings out some of the best emotions of sport
The inaugural international tournament in 2015 was an invitational event with 12 women's and 12 men's teams, representing 96 student-athletes from 11 different countries. Tianjin University of Finance and Economics (CHN) won the women's tournament, beating Chinese Culture University (TPE)21-13 in the final.
Monash University (AUS) finished 3rd after defeating Peking University (CHN) 13-6 in the Bronze medal game. In the men's brackets, UQAM (CAN) beat Université Bordeaux (FRA) 17-16 to win the Gold medal. The bronze went to Peking University (CHN) by beating Northumbria (GBR) 14-12.
The 2016 edition of The League brought the introduction of continental qualifying tournaments for the first time. The four continental events saw 322 players from 82 university teams representing 35 different countries compete to qualify to the League final; events in Johannesburg (RSA), Gold Coast (AUS), Macau (MAC) and Rijeka (CRO) were setup and delivered under the auspices of the respective FISU continental associations.
Setting a strong screen for a pick-and-roll partner plays a prominent role for many game winning shots
In the 2016 final, the women's team from Lithuanian Sport University (LTU) defeated University of Regina (CAN) 21-14 to earn the League champs crown. The Chinese Cultural University (TPE) defeated University Sydney (AUS) 16-15 in the bronze medal contest. In the men's tournament, McGill University (CAN) defeated Université Bordeaux (FRA) 17-9 for the title. An all-European game made of the bronze medal contest, with the University of Kragujevac (SRB) defeating the University of Split (CRO) 21-13.
In the next Road to Xiamen 2017, we will start profiling this year's League finalists. We will bring you the inside scoop on everyone from the defending champs and likely contenders to strong upstarts and the contest's dark horses. Stay tuned.
With all the sports out there, why did FISU decide to launch the League with 3x3? That's easy: its where culture, sport and innovation collide.

Creating a hysterotomy during cesarean delivery is as basic a skill as exists in the practice of obstetrics. Unfortunately, about 0.7% to 1.9% of the time while cutting into the uterus, babies are cut as well.1,2 While at first glance that percentage may seem low, when one takes into consideration that about 1.5 million cesarean deliveries are performed every year in the United States, this small percentage amounts to about 10,500 unnecessary injuries, especially when the appropriate number should be closer to zero!
To minimize the risk of iatrogenic scalpel injuries to babies at the time of cesarean delivery, Ecomed Solutions has introduced the Sureglide cesarean delivery safety scalpel. Its straightforward design offers a stainless steel surgical blade encased in a plastic handle that extends past the blade and forms into a pointed tip. The idea is to use the plastic tip to enter the uterus and then extend the hysterotomy by cutting up and away from the baby. Not surprisingly, in trial use in the operating room, Sureglide worked exactly as expected. With the blade facing up, the tip is pushed through the serosa and myometrium. The hand holding the device is then gently rocked back and pushed forward while the blade safely and efficiently creates a hysterotomy. Easy. Quick. Safe.
On the innovation front, Sureglide is a little wanting as its doppelgänger C Safe has been on the market for several years. In my opinion the 2 devices look, feel and perform almost identically and because C Safe was first, it gets all the innovation points.
By medical device standards, Sureglide is pretty inexpensive ($18 each) but it is still more costly than a #10 scalpel blade. That said, the value play is really about how many cut babies you and your hospital are willing to tolerate.
I have opined before that I think it is time we made newborn lacerations at the time of cesarean delivery a "never" event because we have the technology to essentially eliminate the problem. While rising healthcare costs are always an issue, I am pretty confident most parents would pay for this device themselves out-of-pocket if they knew it could prevent an accidental laceration to their baby.

Breaking: Trout Closes, Mamary's Oyster Bar 'Dead'
Boerum Hill's outdoor delight shuttered on Sunday.By Aileen Gallagher
Boerum Hill's outdoor delight shuttered on Sunday.By Aileen Gallagher
Carroll Gardeners are one step closer to their very own cocktail lounge today. Word from Alan Harding and Jim Mamary is that, while the recommendation for a liquor license won't be assured until the full community board meets, the land-use committee voted in their favor yesterday. Harding, who is not a partner at present, will create a menu that doesn't require a kitchen. "It's a huge challenge, but you can do some great things without a gas-fired kitchen. We're going to be as fancy and creative as we can." Given the kind of success Jimmy's and Marlow and Sons have with a limited kitchen, this may be the future of cocktail cooking. In the meantime, the lease is secured and Mamary and Harding predict a "late-spring" opening. Earlier: Carroll Gardens May Get a Swank New Cocktail Lounge — Pending CB Approval Tonight Related: Jimmy's Secret Chef Performs Culinary Miracles in the East Village
Does Alan Harding, the king of Carroll Gardens, have a new project up his sleeve? We hear talk of an "upscale cocktail lounge" on Hoyt Street near Union Street's Black Mountain Wine House. A neighborhood foodie tells us that this new venture depends on the community board, which will vote on the liquor license tonight. Sure enough, right there on CB6's land-use committee agenda tonight is "Discussion and formulation of recommendation on an on-premises liquor license application submitted to the State Liquor Authority on behalf of 415 Union Street Inc. at 303 Hoyt Street (Block 430, Lot 78) between Union/Sackett Streets." Will Brooklyn Social or another neighborhood competitor try to protest? Find out tonight.

Nicki Minaj Twitter
By Meghan Gorman
Nicki Minaj never fails to shock the world with her fashion choices, including the vibrant wigs that she's notorious for. The YMCMB rapper and "American Idol" judge rocks wigs of all different colors, lengths and styles but this week she decided to give her barbz a look at her natural hair on Twitter.
Minaj tweeted: "2 braids left" with a picture of her surprisingly long, brown hair that she has braided to go under her wigs. Her loyal fans and Twitter followers did not lack in reaction, since they finally got to see what's under those crazy wigs. Some reactions to the picture included: "AHHHHH!!!!!!!! You got major hang time!!!" and "OMG your hair is so long!!" Then, Nicki followed with another tweet: "No chemicals. No perm," which enthused fans even more.
Some of her barbz told her that she doesn't need to wear wigs with that beautiful hair. Will Nicki be ditching the wigs anytime soon to show off her luscious locks? Probably not, but at least we know she's not bald!

Preventative plans 'could help people avoid emergency dentistry'
Going to the dentist regularly and keeping up with a good oral health regime could help people to avoid needing emergency dentistry.
This is the advice of Dr Michael McCarty, owner of Austin Smiles in the US, who said everyone is guilty of not flossing or brushing properly once in a while, but taking teeth for granted is not a good idea in the long run.
He explained that seeing a dentist regularly will help people to understand the importance of caring for their teeth properly and could be the difference between needing emergency dentistry later in life and not.
"Comprehensive dental plans not only aim to maintain healthy teeth, but also healthy gums, tongue and overall mouth," Dr McCarty added.
Last month, Ken Schweifler of the Los Angeles Town Crier urged people not to let their anxiety of going to the dentist get in the way of good oral health, insisting that preventative treatments are necessary in reducing the likelihood of emergency dentistry.

Call it Kansas City's snow-mageddon.
Schools closed, events were canceled, businesses told workers to stay home, and streets and highways had what looked like light, early morning Sunday traffic as people stayed home because of the heavy amount of snow that was supposed to land Tuesday morning. Weather forecasters were predicting up to 11 inches of snow for the metropolitan area.
Snow was supposed to blanket the Midwest and much of the East Coast. Fears of being like Atlanta, which 3 inches of snow brought to a standstill, caused a lot of officials in the Kansas City area to overreact, urging schools to close and people to stay home.
But unlike Atlanta, we've been to this rodeo more than a time or two.
Low temperatures will add to concerns, making it better to error on the side of safety. The low traffic count should make it easier for city and state road crews to get the streets and highways cleared.
It should be in time for the next snowfall predicted to hit later this week.

Delta farm leaders who thought they had a hard row to hoe when they helped pass the 2002 farm bill may not have seen anything yet, says Mark Keenum. Passing a 2007 farm bill — with safety net provisions — could be an even bigger challenge, he says.
That's because several irresistible objects are set to converge during the months ahead when Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., Keenum's boss, and other farm state lawmakers will be sitting down to try to devise a new farm law.
"The president has already said he's going to put forth a plan to reduce our deficit by one-half over the next five years," says Keenum. "When you look at how to deal with reducing the deficit, there are only two ways to do that: either you raise taxes or you cut spending.
"I don't see President Bush recommending any tax increases and I don't see this new, even more conservative Congress proposing more taxes, either. As a result, we will be dealing with some rather severe spending cuts."
Keenum, former agricultural aide and now chief of staff for Cochran, said the current Congress got a taste of those cuts when it passed the omnibus spending bill for fiscal 2005 in a lame-duck session in late November.
"One of the things our members are proud of this year is that they were able to reduce the rate of increase in government spending," Keenum told members of the Delta Council's board of directors at their mid-year meeting at the new Charles W. Capps Jr. Entrepreneurial Center at Stoneville, Miss.
"We're going to have increases in spending because our government is so dynamic and population is growing every year. But, in this bill we passed Nov. 20, non-defense government spending only increased by a little over 1 percent. That's the lowest rate of increase in several decades."
Keenum said Senate leaders had to put more money into the omnibus bill, which rolled nine appropriations bill into one measure, to get members to vote for it. But House leaders balked at the increases when the bill went to a House-Senate conference committee.
"What we had to do was an across-the-board cut of 0.75 percent for all non-defense, non-national security-type spending," he said. "This may give us a sense of the lay of the land as we go into next year."
When the president submits his fiscal 2006 budget shortly after his inauguration on Jan. 20, Keenum says, it's more likely to be a five-year plan than for just one year.
That could mean Congress will be required to pass a budget reconciliation act similar to those in 1990 and 1996 when farm state lawmakers had to find savings in farm programs to meet spending targets spelled out in the law.
Following passage of the 1990 budget reconciliation act, agriculture made its contribution to reduced spending through the triple base concept — that is, by reducing the number of base acres farmers received program payments on to 85 percent.
In 1996, agriculture responded to another budget reconciliation act with the freedom to farm bill, which was designed to phase out farm program payments by 2002. As most farmers know, Congress changed its mind in 2002, extending the Agricultural Market Transition Act or AMTA payments for another five years and adding counter-cyclical payments to help growers weather periods of low prices.
Keenum said farm organization leaders are concerned for two reasons about the possibility of another budget reconciliation act in 2005.
"One is that reopening the farm bill in mid-stream is not good for anybody," he noted. "It's not good for farmers, it's not good for people who provide financing to farmers, it's not good for people who provide inputs.
"Second is that we are in the process of going through major trade negotiations with other countries in the Doha Round. These negotiations in the WTO are aimed at promoting fairer trade."
WTO officials have scheduled a ministerial meeting in Hong Kong in December 2005 to try to wrap up the negotiations so that it can be submitted to the governments of other nations and to the U.S. Congress. The administration hopes to have it ratified by 2007.
"That just happens to be the year that the fast track authority legislation that allows the president to submit trade agreements to the Senate for an up or down vote expires," he said. "It's also the last year of the current farm bill. So a lot of things are pointing toward 2007."
Ag leaders who work with Congress on farm legislation are becoming justifiably concerned about this convergence of events, says Keenum.
"Perhaps the best analogy is that our trade negotiators are sitting at a poker table with a stack of chips," he said. "Other countries all have their stack of chips, and we're bargaining to try to work out a fair agreement."
U.S. negotiators have their "three pillars of a new trade agreement" they're working on that include: (1) increased market access, (2) the elimination of export subsidies and (3) reduced domestic subsidies, he said.
"But if between now and when we strike an agreement our negotiators have some of their bargaining chips removed, because we're taking away supports to our farmers, they won't have as strong a ground to negotiate on," said Keenum.
"I'm not saying that this is going to happen, but these are the sort of things that are being discussed at high levels and that you need to be thinking about — questions like what if Congress has to modify the farm bill to capture savings to contribute to reducing the deficit."
Fortunately, farmers in the Delta and elsewhere in the Sun Belt will have some strong leaders representing them in Congress, Keenum said.
"Obviously, we hope that Sen. Cochran will be confirmed as the new chairman of the Appropriations Committee when the Senate convenes in January. Any changes in the farm bill, meanwhile, will be referred to the Agriculture Committee, where Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia is expected to become the chairman.
"Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas is next in line to succeed Sen. Cochran as Agriculture Committee chairman, but Sen. Roberts is expected to ask to retain his chairmanship of the Senate Intelligence Committee. We have good relationships with both, but we have a really great relationship with Sen. Chambliss."

Nicholson's pub in Kensington, in the Good Beer Guide.
It's a small, cosy space, with seating for no more than 40 or so. Decor is traditional, with banquette seating and lots of dark wood, dominated by the central bar. Mounted in one corner is a flatscreen, and a fruit machine flashes silently by the door. A narrow passage leads back past the bar to an even smaller area with high stool seating for eight. There are also a few seats out the front on a tiny patio, separated from the pavement by a low wall.
Kake made a brief visit on a Friday morning in September 2014. One or two of the handpumps were off, but the others were clipped for Truman's Runner, Nicholson's Pale Ale, Oakham Inferno, and Exmoor Ale. (It's worth noting that I was there before the official opening time, so it's possible they were going to put more on.)
According to the Nicholson's website as of September 2014, food is served all day from opening until 10pm, from a chain-wide menu.
Accessibility: A step to get in. No further steps once you're in. The passageway to the gents is quite narrow.

A California man is accused of being high on marijuana when his truck swerved across a southern Illinois freeway and killed two Southern Illinois University students -- including a Chicago woman -- in an oncoming vehicle.
Prosecutors in Downstate Franklin County have charged 34-year-old Dennis Hernandez of El Monte, Calif., with aggravated driving under the influence in the Sept. 26, 2008 wreck on Interstate 57.
Nineteen-year-olds Kevetta Davis of Chicago and Yasmine Jackson of Belleville died at the scene.
Authorities say Hernandez was driving a truck southbound when he veered into the oncoming lanes and hit a pickup truck, then the vehicle carrying the students.

Why Congress Deserves an "A"
Don't blame Congress for not passing laws. It's designed that way.
Stroll around Washington, D.C., this summer, and you will see hordes of tourists thronging the national Mall. Parents ask their kids, "What's the role of Congress?" And the teenagers respond, "The purpose of Congress is to pass laws."
Most people who hear that nowadays feel an urge to laugh. Sure, that's the purpose of Congress, but that isn't what Congress actually does. Congress in theory is decisive, but Congress in practice is dysfunctional. If Congress were a student and its handling of the debt-ceiling crisis were an exam, it would get an F, if not expulsion or a referral to the juvenile justice system.
But what if the civics-textbook definition of Congress is wrong? What if Congress is working precisely as designed?
Suppose the purpose of Congress is not to pass laws but to stymie the passage of laws. To be precise, what if the purpose of Congress is to provide us with maximum theater while delivering the least number of new laws? In this alternate universe, we should expect a congressional landscape littered with good initiatives that have gone nowhere. Check. We should expect to see ideologues on both sides deeply disappointed that after all the time and effort they spend campaigning and winning elections, so little of what they want actually happens. Check. We'd expect that the issues on which Congress is decisive are mostly empty and symbolic. Check again.
If the conventional definition of Congress is correct, the only way to explain why Congress accomplishes so little is to assert—as articles, pundits and analyses have done—that the men and women who happen to be in Congress today are particularly incompetent, unpatriotic, and self-serving.
This is the hidden brain at work. Our minds link actions with intentions. When we see dysfunction and inaction, we ascribe them to intentional dysfunction and inaction, rather than to structural factors designed to produce inaction.
The idea that Congress is dysfunctional by design is neither original nor new. Political scientists have made this argument for years, but we have ignored it, perhaps because it interferes with our enjoyment of the theater of Congress. If one were to announce, before the play begins, that precisely nothing will happen by the time the curtain drops, it's hard to get the audience engaged.
Here's why Congress is ineffectual by design.
First, most congressional seats are safe seats. Every decade, the two major parties take turns making those seats even safer through gerrymandering. The Republicans, who won big in 2010, now control the lion's share of state legislatures and governorships. They plan to make safe conservative seats safer and swing seats safely conservative. The net result is that in much of the country, the outcomes of general elections are largely decided in primaries. Whoever wins the Republican primary in a safe Republican district wins the general election. Same goes for safely Democratic seats. The voters who really matter are those who vote in primaries—and the most reliable primary voters are hard-liners.
When it comes time to pass legislation, the hard-line politicians these hard-line voters elect can usually undermine moderates in their own parties, making centrist coalitions unstable. When Americans look at congressional dysfunction with disbelief, they are assuming that members of Congress share their moderate political views. They don't. Members of Congress aren't answerable to all their constituents. They are answerable to hard-liners in their party primaries, and these hardliners see any attempt to compromise as "caving in." Stanford University political scientist David Brady, who runs a fellowship program I've attended, once found that the more members of Congress vote with their parties, the less likely they are to be re-elected.
Second, there's the Senate. Nearly half the Senate represents states whose populations together add up to less than the population of California. One half of Congress, in other words, is designed not as a democracy of the people, but a democracy of the states. If 88 percent of the country wants something to happen but the 42 senators who represent the other 12 percent of the country don't want it to happen, it doesn't happen. This has nothing to do with the integrity or competence of members of Congress. It's how Congress is designed.
Third, neither party stands for the same issues in all 50 states. It is wildly impractical to expect that country club Republicans in Connecticut will see eye-to-eye with evangelical Republicans in Texas on many issues. Republicans from the 50 states might be members of the same party, but apart from a common name and a handful of issues, many don't share much in common. Expecting Republican or Democratic unity on major issues is like expecting cats to march to the same drummer. Internally divided parties can't ram initiatives into law.
Finally, unlike in countries where major parties raise money en masse and distribute campaign funds to candidates nationwide, most members of Congress raise their own funds. As a result, they aren't beholden to their parties in the way legislators in the United Kingdom are, for example. Even if the national Republican or Democratic party had a unified agenda, it's impossible to impose such agendas on individual members. The parties have limited leverage in getting members of Congress to vote one way or another. Weak, fractured parties, whose members arrive in Congress with their own teams, their own campaign contributors, and their own agendas, have trouble passing laws.
Going back to FDR and even before, presidents have railed against "do-nothing congresses." The astonishing thing is how effective the argument has been for presidents, given that Congress is designed to be dysfunctional.
What we criticize as dysfunction or ineptitude is really an institution designed with a profoundly conservative vision—that's conservative with a small C. Congress is designed to stymie change. You can see this as good or bad, but that's not the point. The point is that it's silly to build a supertanker and then criticize the sailors because the ship doesn't maneuver like a speedboat.

|Located in the state of Thuringia, Jena is a city with a population of 100.000 inhabitants, nestled in valley of Saale river. Within only a few years of the political revolution in East Germany, the city is brought to life by a combination of a historic and intellectual past, a delightful countryside, innovative and international research, industry and a youthful student life.
Culture is inescapable in the city where generations of poets and philosophers like Goethe, Schiller, Hegel and Fichte have contributed with their Romanticism and Classicism during the times of the city's establishment 450 years ago. This is where the democratic spirit of unity, justice and liberty in Germany was formed by the students against the fundamental repercussions in high politics. The colors black-red-gold, now the national colors of Germany, were then the symbols of fraternity among the youth.
|The foundation of Jena's international reputation as an industrial center started at the Friedrich Schiller University. Zeiss's precision engineering and optics plant and the glass chemical works Schott & Gen. came into being virtually as spin-off enterprises out of the Alma Mater, through a close dovetailing of science and the business world. This form of cooperation between university and industry evolved naturally. First steps to emerge into the industrial age were taken by Ernst Abbe, appointed Associate Professor in 1870, who developed his theory of microscope image formation. He was given this commission by a university mechanic, Carl Zeiss, who had been steadily perfecting the construction of optical equipment in his private workshops. Otto Schott, who received his doctorate at Jena in 1875, was the third to enter into this alliance by founding, at Abbe's urging, a "Laboratory for Glass Technology" in 1884, to produce the highly pure special lenses for Zeiss's microscopes and optical equipment. Success of the Zeiss plant brought highly qualified workers to the city and this yielded profits for the city and the university. Throughout the evolution of the city, the contributions of Zeiss Foundation and Otto Schott, teachings of biologist Ernst Haeckel, mathematician and logician Gottlob Frege, psychiatrist Otto Binswanger, the philosopher Rudolf Eucken, the historians Johann Gustav Droysen and Alexander Cartellieri, the philologists Sievers and Delbrück, jurist Eduard Rosenthal and a pioneer of wireless telegraphy Max Wien can not be underestimated.
|In the mid 1920s the notion of a model National Socialist University came into being, despite the city's libertarian climate. Following a brief phase of reorganization after 1945 the Alma Mater once again got caught in the whirlpool of political ideology, and was now expected to evolve into a "socialist university". The most visible symbol of this is the "research high-rise" ("cookie roll" as it's called), built from 1967-72 according to plans by GDR star architect Herbert Henselmann and originally intended for the state-owned VEB Carl Zeiss, into which the academics had to move. At 127m this prominent signal of socialist authoritarian architecture towers above the city on the Saale. Nonetheless: in its shadow emerged an atmosphere of subversive resistance, and Jena was regarded as a dissident stronghold in the GDR.
In 1989 professors and students demonstrated on the streets together as constraints on intellectual freedom had been most excessive nowhere else other than in the fields of research and education. Right after the political revolution, the University of Jena carried out severe measures such as evaluating all teachers and forming 10 faculties out of the previously existing departments. A new campus was immediately founded on the formersite of the main Zeiss plant and a project for the University Clinic got underway and the Medical Faculty started caregiving to Thuringia with its 1400 bed clinic.
Now, with its roughly 19 000 students of the Friedrich Schiller University and the University of Applied Sciences, the University of Jena maintains alliance with Halle and Leipzig, sharing interdisciplinary projects in five DFG Collaborative Research Centers and seven Innovationskollegs (lecture series). The climate in Jena also seems to be having a positive effect on teaching: the advisory relationship between students and lecturers is comparatively good, indeed to such an extent that the prospect of a rapid and intensive course of studies persuaded an apparently large number of students to give their top marks in the most recent university rankings by "Spiegel", "Stern" and "Stiftung Warentest". It is the common goal of those responsible at the university, and at city and state level that this development should continue uninterrupted.

Chapters 37 through 39 Summary and Analysis
Chapter 37: Late Revelations
Mamet did not serve in the military; he was given a deferment. Although at the time, he wouldn't have gone to Viet Nam if he had been drafted, he regrets that he didn't serve in the military. The Obama campaign slogans suggested that change happens without effort. Mamet has not worked hard at many things but focused on his gift for dramatization. Looking back on his days as a Liberal, he recalled thinking he was superior to others but couldn't describe why. Instead of asking what he would have done differently, Mamet leaves the past behind and changes the issue to what will he do next.
Saul Alinksy was the great community organizer and an idol of Barack Obama. The goal of the social organizer was to bring social justice to the community. Humans crave organization...

Happy Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!
Yes it may be Budget Day in New Zealand, but worldwide people are celebrating the first annual 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' (aka Everybody Draw Muhammed/Mohammad Day, the apparent prophet likes to mix it up when it comes to the spelling of his name).
The celebration was initially dreamt up American cartoonist Molly Norris, following the controversy over an episode of the tv cartoon South Park, which depicted Mr Mohammed dressed up in a bear costume.
South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker received a number of death threats after the episode, as did the Comedy Central tv network.
I Can Haz Jihad?
The online protest is described as a "protest against those Islamists who attempt to restrict freedom of speech by threatening violence against anyone who offends them or Islam."
Internet protestors are encouraged to "create a drawing representing Muhammad, a prophet of Islam, on May 20, 2010, as a protest against efforts to limit freedom of speech". (Depictions of the so-called prophet are explicitly forbidden by some Islamic texts, although not actually by the Qur'an).
Mohammad Says Smile!

I've received several death threats for my participation in the day. Me and some others did chalk drawings in the Christchurch town square where we received a good amount of support, even from moderate Muslims who joined in and contributed drawings for the cause.

Poplar Bluff, Missouri (PRWEB) January 24, 2014
Geothermal heating and cooling systems are changing the green energy industry, as they offer homeowners a convenient source of energy that is unaffected by weather patterns, such as solar and wind energy. Many homeowners make the switch due to the increased energy efficiency, and therefore increased savings. For geothermal heating, Poplar Bluff homeowners report even temperatures during the coldest winter nights.
1. Geothermal systems range from 400-500 percent energy efficiency. Homeowners can save significantly on their monthly utility bills by replacing traditional systems, which max out in the mid-90 percent range of energy efficiency, with a geothermal heating and cooling system.
2. Geothermal heating and cooling units use the Earth's energy, which is accessible 4-5 feet underground. There are different loop designs available (vertical and horizontal), depending on the amount of land or yard size that is available. This type of energy is a constant resource that isn't subject to high or low temperatures, presence or lack of sunshine, or wind speed.
3. Geothermal energy is considered green because it doesn't require the use of fossil fuels, reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, and will lower the user's carbon footprint.
4. This type of system has a much greater lifespan than that of a traditional system. Due to the loop system being buried underground, undisturbed and not exposed to harsh weather conditions, and the unit itself being housed indoors, there will be minimal wear and tear. Geothermal systems require much less maintenance and repair as well.
5. Geothermal units provide very consistent heating and cooling. Homeowners enjoy consistent indoor temperatures all year long and superior humidity control.
For more information regarding energy savings with geothermal systems, homeowners should visit Home Comfort Geo at http://homecomfortgeo.com/.

Camps offer youths an active summer outlet
With area youths out of school for the summer, camp season is officially "upon us."
For kids entering kindergarten through ninth grade in Southeast Texas, camps are available to help provide a foundation in their respected sports while allowing them to have fun in the process.
"This time of year, it is all about having fun and giving kids the opportunity to try things out," West Brook head football coach Kevin Flanigan said. "My staff and I love taking advantage of the opportunity to generate interest in football for the kids while giving them something fun to do this summer."
This week at West Brook, Flanigan and his staff are teaching youngsters the basics of football at their non-contact camp. At the West Brook camp, kids will be encouraged and taught to play multiple positions so when their seasons come they will have a better idea of exactly what position they want to play.
"Our camp is geared to giving kids the basic fundamentals at each position so they can gain a great appreciation for all phases of the game," said Flanigan.

signs of cervical cancer
A: According to your description I can identify 3 major problems in your case: The first one is peeing without will (urinary incontinence). Peeing is a complex neuro-muscular reflex and any damage of the spinal cord, nerves that innervate the bladder, muscles of the bladder, or the bladders outer sphincter can cause urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence can be a sign of cervical cancer but in later stages when the cancer spreads on the bladder. The second problem is irregular vaginal bleeding (spotting).

A: Unfortunately, the warning signs of cervical cancer rarely show up until the cancer has spread beyond the cervix, but they include: abnormal menstrual bleeding, bleeding between periods, heavy discharge, pelvic and abdominal pain, and painful urination.

That way, it can be caught before it has a chance to progress to the point of sending out warning signs. And, of course, even...
What are visible signs of cervical cancer?
A: Hmmm, that`s an interesting question, I have never had anyone ask me what visible signs of cervical cancer might be. I think the answer is there aren`t really any. Advanced cervical cancer can cause unusual, heavy discharge or bleeding or abnormalities in your menstrual cycle, but I don`t know if those are considered visible signs. In other words, you can`t tell if someone has cervical cancer when they are walking around. Which is why regular screening is so important.. ...

A: Hello Mimi81, There can be many reasons for irregular periods. I encourage you to make an appointment with your doctor. A pelvic exam should be performed every year.

Since your period has always been irregular there may be a medical reason for this. I encourage you to find an OBGYN that you are comfortable with so you can discuss these issues. There are alot of young people that are hesitant to get proper care because

What Are The signs of cervical cancer?
A: The symptoms of cervical cancer are very similar to symptoms of other ailments which is why they often go ignored. For one the pain is strikingly similar to that during ovulation. Symptoms vary from person to person and often become more obvious when the cancer has spread and is in the last stages. Some of the common symptoms are: 1.

I Was Diagnosed With Hpv What Are Some of The signs of cervical cancer?
A: I have read a lot on the internet and i believe that some of the signs are vaginal discharge, painful intercourse and in later stages bleeding which means, heavy periods or bleeding between periods if you want to know more about symptoms just google it, i found it to be a big help....
What Are the Causes of cervical cancer?
A: The causes of cervical cancer are linked to genetic mutations that turn healthy cells in the cervix into abnormal cells that grow at an accelerated rate. While the mutations are really the sole causes of cervical cancers, the factors that create the mutation are many and varied. Infection with certain viruses, smoking, and extensive use of birth control pills have all been linked to increased chances of cervical cancer.. Some research suggests that the presence of cervical
Are heavy periods a symptom of cervical cancer?
A: Good news, I hope! No, there is no connection between cervical cancer and heavy periods. From what I`ve read, there isa connection between bleeding (or any discharge for that matter) in between periods and cervical cancer. But that`s a pretty late symptom of cervical cancer, so you really need to be getting screened annually by your doctor to catch any potential cervical cancer before it gets to the stage of causing symptoms such as heavy bleeding. But, also, I`ve read that heavy bleeding during your period could be a sign

The Courtesan Tales
150 First Ave.
thru May 29
Thurs-Sat 7-10 pm
By appointment only
Unusual production for an audience of one
By Davida Singer
No distant cousin to Chaucers Canterbury Tales, The Coutesan Tales at P.S. 122, are the au courant brainchild of performance artist, Nicole Blackman. Blackman has culled an original group of thirteen stories, any of which she presents to a blindfolded audience of one, in a uniquely intimate experience she likes to call radio theater for the senses.
The Courtesan Tales is a strange hybrid, she said. The stories each use touch, taste, sound smell and lots of imagination. Theyre mostly whispered into the ear, and they evolve around you.
As a New York native, Blackmans career evolved from growing up in a family with roots in vaudeville. She got her formal training at the Academy of Arts, and immediately after college, dove into solo work, performing her poetry downtown at the Nuyorican Café. Shes made her name as a spoken word artist, with a published book (Blood Sugar), appearances on at least 20 albums, and numerous performances both locally and on the international touring circuit. It was at a festival in Belgium in 1999, that the idea for the Tales came to light.
There were 3000 people there, recalls Blackman, making me think, where do I go from here. I considered going smaller to keep myself challenged, and wondered how small that could be. What if I did something one-on-one with audience members? It would be very intimate and the scariest thing I could do. That audience member doesnt have anyone else to talk to, and the patron also becomes a performer. This was a whole new vocabulary for me, less theater performance and more of a service, in the realm of prostitutes, masseuses, therapists and palm readers. It needed to have storytelling at its base, because thats what I do.
Blackman first tried out her idea five years ago, as part of the Chicks Cook performance art dinner series at Collective Unconsciousness, where she was invited to do a food-related piece. She created a tale about food, blindfolded someone, told the story and fed them at the end. People couldnt get enough. To date, shes done seven more performances, and has gotten so over-booked, shes trained a second courtesan, Eve Prince, to help her out with this new run.
I write my stories backwards, because I choose the food I use first, Blackman explains. And theres always a twist at the end like Hitchcock. The way it works is you book a courtesan, and get to choose the type of story you want to hear. Before everything, you can enjoy some food in the lounge (set up like a whorehouse/boudoir), then the hostess helps you select a story from a menu. Theres magical, disturbing, sensual, erotic (21+), and nostalgic.
According to Blackman, each tale runs seven minutes, but feels much longer. Patrons enter a room with a dim, red light and rocking chair, sit down and put on a blindfold. Then the courtesan comes in and gently adjusts leather wrist restraints, necessary, she says, in order to maintain control in the performance, and frame the story.
Everyone likes touch and a mystery, Blackman notes, and I hope they also receive an increased realization of their sensuality and how we rely on sight. We have all these other senses were not using. People often write amazing things in our guest book, like how moving it was just to be touched, or to have memories evoked through the stories. For me, the challenge is that this is a bit like walking a minefield. I have to be careful not to push peoples boundaries. Its like opening up the imagination so both facts and fiction come alive. Its that slippery point between stations. Im really trying to make this a guided tour, where everyone needs to get to their destination in their own, individual way.

Where to put a proposed new consumer protection division appears to have become a game of musical chairs.
In the past few days, lawmakers have traded proposals and counterproposals, with everyone from the Federal Reserve Board to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) and the Treasury Department discussed as possible locations for the bureau.
So far, at least, none of the suggestions has drawn a consensus, leaving the fate of the issue, and the reform bill itself, up in the air. Still, some saw it as a positive sign that lawmakers are actively seeking a solution to what has become the trickiest part of reform: how to beef up consumer protections.
"This is probably the best signal yet that financial reform is probably going to start to move," said Jaret Seiberg, an analyst with the Washington Research Group division of Concept Capital.
But the next step remains unclear. Dodd opened negotiations on Friday by suggesting to Sen. Bob Corker that the new consumer protection agency should be a bureau within the Treasury, headed by a presidentially appointed director. But the Tennessee Republican rejected that idea, and instead suggested the bureau be part of the Fed.
Sen. Richard Shelby, the panel's lead Republican, offered two more options on Monday: create a consumer protection council, made up of regulators, that writes new rules or create a consumer protection division within the FDIC.
According to documents circulated by lawmakers on Monday, Shelby is proposing that consumer protection be housed in the FDIC and led by a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed director for a five-year term. That division would have its own board, which would include the FDIC chairman, comptroller of the currency, state banking representative and two independent members.
The division would be funded by earnings from the Deposit Insurance Fund and fees, and would have authority to write all rules implementing consumer protection statutes. The Shelby plan has a belt-and-suspenders twist. The head of the consumer division would report to the FDIC chairman, and that agency's board would have to approve all proposed rules by a majority vote.
Under the plan, the consumer division would have enforcement power over all state-chartered banks and some authority over large state-chartered mortgage issuers. It would have to coordinate with the OCC and the Fed with respect to enforcement of federally chartered banks and holding companies, Shelby said.
The Alabama Republican also put forth a competing plan, which would call for the creation of a Financial Products Consumer Protection Council.
That council would be headed by a presidentially appointed chairman, and include the head of the proposed Financial Institutions Regulatory Administration or FIRA (the proposed combination of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Office of Thrift Supervision), and the chairman of the FDIC.
According to documents from Shelby, the council would have the power to write new rules, but enforcement would be left entirely to the banking regulators. The FDIC would get some additional authority to enforce consumer rules against large state-chartered mortgage issuers.
Mark Calabria, a former top aide to Shelby, said the lawmaker suggested the FDIC in part because of Chairman Sheila Bair, a Republican who is still seen as very pro-consumer but who shares fears about letting consumer protections trump safety and soundness regulations.
"The FDIC was partly driven by how much they know Dodd likes Sheila Bair," said Calabria, the director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Institute. "I think there was a feeling that at least the FDIC is more sympathetic to what they've tried to achieve. The FDIC obviously already has a board that mirrors the regulatory community. … In some sense it's pretty close to having a council do it in that you already have financial regulators on board."
But William Isaac, a former FDIC chairman, said he preferred a consumer protection council.
"Of those ideas I think that the Shelby proposal for a council led by a presidential appointee with
FIRA and the FDIC on its board is the one that offers the most promise of breaking this deadlock," said Isaac, the chairman of LECG Global Financial Services. "It creates a separate unit to oversee the consumer activities but it forces it to coordinate with the banking agencies by putting them on the board that actually controls it."
Asked about the proposal on Monday, Bair reiterated that the FDIC has endorsed the creation of a new agency with rulemaking, not enforcement, powers but did not address whether she would be willing to support placing a division within her agency.
While Corker is pushing the Fed to house a new consumer division, many questioned whether that idea made sense for Democrats. Dodd has sharply criticized the Fed for its failure to use existing consumer protection powers before the crisis.
"Since Dodd's hobbyhorse has been 'we are only here because the Fed failed on Hoepa' … it would be sort of surprising," Calabria said.
None of the alternatives, meanwhile, appear acceptable to consumer groups. Travis Plunkett, the legislative director for the Consumer Federation of America, said even Dodd's suggestion to put a bureau into the Treasury was too soft. "We're very troubled by it. The main concern overall we thought it compromised the autonomy of consumer protection," Plunkett said.
Still, several observers said lawmakers do not appear that far apart, and predicted a deal could be struck.
"In my experience when you get at this point in Washington, D.C., where everyone is saying 'we need a bill' you find a way to compromise," said William Longbrake, an executive in residence at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.

The Amazing Read: Summer Reading Challenge, Week 10
I'm back from last week's visit to another world. I decided to visit Graphic Novel Land, and spent some time in the Sandman's dream world and the altered Victorian detective world of Ruse, which I found as a suggestion from another summer reader. I enjoyed my time "out of this world" thoroughly.

Manchester Symphony Orchestra brings
the Russians to the MC stage Oct. 25
The Manchester Symphony Orchestra brings the music of noted Russian composers to the stage at 3 p.m. this Sunday, Oct. 25. The performance in Cordier Auditorium of Manchester College is free, as a thank you to supporters of 71 seasons of community symphony. New this season are special pre-concert buffets in the College dining commons.
Theme of the first concert of the season, conducted by Scott Humphries, is "The Russians are Coming!" Humphries conducted several of the selections on the program while with the Roanoke Youth Symphony Orchestra in Virginia. "I had the idea to do a concert of this nature for some time," says Humphries, visiting assistant professor of music at Manchester.
The music is both challenging for musicians while also interesting for all audiences, he notes. Among music on the program: Capriccio Italien by Tchaikovsky, Overture from the Life of the Czar by Glinka and Concerto for Saxophone by Glazunov with a featured alto saxophone solo by Barbara Burdge, assistant professor of social work.
Burdge, who joined the MSO last season, also is comfortable with the mellophone, French horn, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone and soprano saxophone. "I've never played with an orchestra as a soloist," she says, adding with a smile, "It's a whole new world."
Two seatings are offered for the pre-concert buffets sponsored by Chartwells, the College dining service: at noon and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. The Oct. 25 menu includes carved turkey, baked whitefish, sauteed beef tips, plus stir-fry and salad stations. Reservations, at $10, are necessary; call 260-982-5289.
In addition to four major concerts annually, the society sponsors workshops and other performances. The Sunday performances begin at 3 p.m.; all are free. Here's the 2009-2010 schedule:
Sunday, Dec. 6: "Holiday with the Americans" (Cordier Auditorium)
Sunday, March 14: "Mostly Mozart" (Honeywell Center, Wabash)
Sunday, May 16: "Concerto," featuring soloists from the MSO's 2009-2010 competition (Cordier Auditorium)
