Pupils are in small groups.
Set a puzzle that is almost impossible to answer.
Allow groups to develop an answer with the goal of demonstrating reasoning skills, rather than 'getting it right'.
Allow time for pupils to discuss.
Groups justify their answer.
Could also give the class time to ask the group questions to extend the activity.
Many thanks to the biology department for sharing this week's teaching tip which links very well to the shared target.

Wireless router is connected, no internet access, power surge?
This has probably been asked but I couldn't find anything directly relating to my problem. Last week, I lost my internet, called my ISP, and it was a problem with the modem. They replaced the modem and since then my wireless router has not worked. I assume I had a power surge that blew both the modem and the router. I "borrowed" my mother's router, same brand, but better model, which the laptop has been connected to before. I am still getting connected but it's saying that there is no internet access. The lights on the router are either a solid orange or blinking orange. I have already tried the resets, changed the IPv4, moved the router around, ect. I have full wired internet but I am running into and tripping over the cords running all over the house(running to laptop, PS3, iPhone and iPod). There is no support for the routers(both are Belkin), unless I pay $40 for a 15 min phone call. My aunt does IT and figures it's something in the house stopping the wireless signal from being picked up but she's not 100%. Like I said, both routers have been used for all my devices before. Is there any settings that I could look into? Factory reset did nothing either..
Any help or advice would be great!

Don't expect a useful replly when you so seriously short your help of valuable facts. For example, the router has many lights. Exactly which one is orange. And then quote the router manual where it says what orange for that one router means.
You post is even vague about what connects to what. Does it work wired but not wireless? Do computers talk to each other but not connect to the internet? Do wired computers connect to the internet? You did not even list he model number so that others can discover needed facts that you withheld.
Every light even has a specific name, a specific function, and maybe various colors. Orange means different things for different electronics. What does the manual say a flashing orange light means? And what do the other colors for that light report?

On Friday, Nov 10th, my daughters (ages 4 and 7) and I took advantage of a day off from school and transported your Halloween candy donations to the Ronald McDonald House of Danville (RMHD), PA. The Mountain Valley students and community were so incredibly generous with their candy donations that we had approximately 70 pounds of candy to share! I can't express my gratitude and appreciation for everyone who participated in the candy donation drive this year.
As we drove to Danville, I talked to my children about why were making this trip and who we were helping, but they couldn't quite grasp the gravity of the situation. That's understandable since their spongy, young brains couldn't connect any prior memories to this new experience. This was the first time they had ever done anything like this.
For those who don't know, the Ronald McDonald House provides a home-away-from-home for children under the care of a pediatrician (under the age of 21) and their families. These children are receiving outpatient care and are referred by the pediatric department at Geisinger. The House "[keeps] families with sick children together."
Upon our arrival, I was immediately struck by the beautiful, peaceful, calm and welcoming exterior of the house. I'm not sure what I was expecting (Maybe a lot of red and yellow?). The building was secure so we had to ring the receptionist to let us in. She was very welcoming & kind and helped show us where we could take the candy donations. Ginnetta Reed, Director of Development and Communications, offered to give us a tour of the facility and I gladly accepted, hoping it would help my kids get a better understanding of all the good things this facility does for children and their families.
When you enter this house, you enter into a comfortable living room with a TV, coffee table, & leather recliners. Across the hallway is a beautiful, and in my opinion, state-of-the-art playroom for younger kids (complete with one TV for movies and one for gaming). There's a beautiful fish tank and plenty of books and toys for the kids to play with. The playroom was renovated in memory of a young girl named Nikki who tragically lost her life. What an amazing legacy this young lady has left behind! How happy she must be to see children enjoying this space that was created in her memory.
Just down the hallway is a kitchen and eating area for the families who are staying there. They can make their own meals if they choose but often there are people or organizations who volunteer to make dinner for the residents. Around the corner from the kitchen is a very clean and modern laundry room for the residents to do any laundering. Their bed clothes are taken to Geisinger and cleaned for them. I was told that this ensures any children under care won't have a reaction to new or frangranced detergents.
Just off the living room is a very peaceful sunroom which looks out on an incredibly fun and safe playground, complete with a water feature and fenced-in yard.
They have 17 regular rooms and 2 efficiency apartments. The apartments are equipped with kitchenettes and TVs and they are specifically for children who are being seen by the Oncology department. The apartment setting allows them to spend time with their families while receiving cancer treatment. There are not TVs in the regular rooms because the Ronald McDonald House wants families to talk about what they're experiencing and deal with all of the emotions they are feeling. Quality family time is a high priority there, and I love that.
The Ronald McDonald House has been seeing an increased need for their services over the past several months and due to that increase, all the rooms have been filled (they even have a waiting list sometimes!), so we didn't get to see the upstairs.
So what did my kids get out of it? My 4-year old was smitten with Nikki's Playroom and I'm not really sure she understood anything else. My 7-year old, however, was so excited about all the good things RMHD does. As a fundraiser, the house collects tabs (from soda, canned goods or pet food) and then recycles them. My 7-year old is all about getting as many tabs as she can so she can give them to RMHD. She's even considering starting a program to collect tabs at her school. And THIS is why we get our kids involved in community service projects. To inspire them. To teach them. To help them understand that we need to help others when and where we can.
Ginnetta, wherever you are, thank you for inspiring me and my children! We hope to see you again in the spring!

Looking to sell this inflatable I've had for a few years. I bought it primarily for Baja and have kept it stored in Monterey, using it for outings there when weather permits. Runs very well, made from very durable Hypalon material (French special forces use this same boat but in black) - paid $2,000 for it with the trailer and have since put on a new set of wheels, tires, wheel bearings, new bunks, changed the water pump and did basic tune-up. Starts every time, even after sitting all winter long with just a couple pulls. Perfect for local diving - easily dives three guys, with a 4th if you don't mind being a little bit crowded.
Located in Santa Barbara.
Selling it cheap because:
1. I got rear-ended while towing it and it damaged the following:
- Rear trailer cross member is bent - could be straightened with a big hammer, or cut and welded
- Broke one tail light (other is brand new)
- Bent one fin on the outboard prop (cheap aluminum prop).
- Pushed the bunks off the mounts and broke the mounts for the rear transom supports.
- One sponson developed a slow leak (starboard rear sponson). It will hold air several days, but then slowly deflates over the course of a week or two). Not sure if its the valve or a hole somewhere. Its totally usable as is, but just wanted to disclose that. All of these would be easily fixed over a weekend with basic hand tools.
2. Trailer title is messed up, so I can't provide a pink slip for the trailer. Boat is titled in my name and is clear and paid up. The trailer title could be easily remedied in a couple of ways by getting creative - like using this trailer for "parts" to build your own <cough, cough> "home made" trailer. Then you would then get a new title issued for at the DMV.
3. Wife wants it out of the driveway, and I don't want to spend the time to address items 1 and 2 above even though they'd be relatively easy to do (I just have too much on my plate right now).
Note - it will roll fine, but it is not in condition to be towed a long distance on the freeway due to the messed up bunks and broken tail light. If you know someone in SB, or just tow it to the harbor lot and work on it there for an afternoon, it could be ready to take anywhere.
I'll take cash or trade for an SUP, firearms, or something else interesting that won't take up space in the driveway and piss off my wife.
Price includes boat, motor, trailer, 4 wheels and tires (1 new pair, one backup pair), two gas cans, life jackets, small anchor, foot pump, and other random stuff. PM me for more info.
PM me if you're genuinely interested and want more details.
Trailer before the damage:

Summer in Cph
We want to move, yes, but summer in Copenhagen is also nice (especially when you are on maternity leave) - flea markets, parks, ice cream, playing outside...
1. The parks are blossoming.
2. Molly is wearing little summer dresses. She is 2 months now.
3. Crochet baby string from Shirley Bredal.
4. Waiting for dinner.
5. No garden, but lots of basil in the window sill.
6. From a flea market - don't know what it's called (?), but it's beautiful and very functional when you want to sieve the flour.

A beautiful selection of Scriptures today. Also a sad day as we remember on Tuesday the 30th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. I'd like to preach about the culture of death. The culture of death is a phrase used by Blessed Pope John Paul II to describe western civilization in our current state. The culture of death is one that sees death as an answer to life's problems.
In 1995, Blessed John Paul II wrote a letter to the Church and the World: "Evangelium Vitae," the Gospel of Life. He describes this culture as "a society excessively concerned with efficiency," resulting in a sense of "war of the powerful against the weak: a life which would require greater acceptance, love and care is considered useless, or held to be an intolerable burden, and is therefore rejected in one way or another."
Almost 18 years later, we are hard pressed to argue with his words. Whether it is unborn life, elderly life, immigrant life, we know that wherever a life requires "greater acceptance, love and care," that life is in danger. I'd like to point out one way to rebuild a culture of life and to aid the weak, wherever life is in danger.
Men. Not man in the gender neutral, but men. If you desired to wage a war on the weak you would seek to disarm their protectors. Our culture has done that. Look how the protecting roles in life: husbands and fathers especially, are being eroded.
Now consider this fact as well. Jesus identifies himself as the bridegroom, the husband, in today's gospel. In Jewish weddings, it wasn't the family of the bride's responsibility to entertain at the feast but the groom's. So when they ran out of wine it was the groom's responsibility. This is why, after the miracle of water into wine, the headwaiter goes to the groom to inquire. In providing the wine—and the best wine—Jesus not only aids his friend but also sets the theme for his whole public ministry. I am the true bridegroom, the true husband of Israel and of your soul. He claims for himself the identity in the prophet Isaiah of our first reading: "As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so shall your God rejoice in you."
To think of Jesus as the bridegroom of our soul is a big thought, but let's leave it at face value for the time being and add something else. Remember, how does Jesus interact with God throughout the Gospels? Jesus speaks to and of God as His Father. Jesus reveals God as a Father. These two images: Jesus as bridegroom and God as Father are two dominant ones from the Gospel. These two images are ones deliberately chosen and elevated by Jesus.
So what should we think of a cultural or societal movement that devalues and rejects the idea and identities of fatherhood and husbandry?
But what of other natural relationships, where are they in the bible, relationships and identities that occur in nature, such as wife, mother, and child? These also are chosen and elevated. You and I are the bride of Christ. The Church is a mother. We are God's children. Streams of thought in culture and society reject and devalue these identities as well. What should we think of them?
At the very least we should conclude that they are confused; at the worst we conclude that they are deliberately acting against God and nature.
In Evangelium Vitae, "The Gospel of Life," Blessed Pope John Paul II asked us to build a culture of life. So of course we should advocate and work so that abortion, euthanasia, and other violence against the weak is no more. But we also need to start in our own homes and families. Men, cultivate your identity and responsibility as husbands and fathers. Women, cultivate your identity and responsibility as wives. If you do not yet have a family then act in a way that will aid for that day or time.
Finally, I want to leave you with something for your hearts. In the prophet Isaiah we heard that God will rejoice in us "as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride." This week, slip into the chapel unnoticed. Use the side door if you have to or park a block away so no one sees your car. Spend a few moments quieting your heart of the distractions of the day and call to mind that God is present in your soul by baptism and confirmation. Call to mind the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Tabernacle. Then read over those readings from Isaiah and the Gospel of John. Ask to know God's joy over you.

Have you been looking for a smartphone on Verizon not called the iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy Nexus? Well, then I think you're going to be at least tempted by the deal that Amazon has going on right now on Verizon's devices.
Amazon is going to be hosting The Penny Pincher Deal, a deal that starts today and ends on October 17th. During that time, all Verizon phones and mobile broadband devices are a penny.
Tablets are not included in the deal and you'll have to sign up for a new two-year contract in order to get a hold of a phone at that price. In addition, it's only available to new customers. Existing customers are left out in the cold.
The good news is that the Motorola Droid Bionic, the first dual-core 4G LTE smartphone, is included in the offer making this the cheapest price that we've seen thus far.
You'll also get free two day shipping.
Sound like a deal to you? Then head on over to Amazon's website, you can do that here, and take a look at the 31 different phones that are available for just $.01. And remember, you only have until Monday to decide.

How Do Your Kids Feel About Your Job?
We moms are used to hearing what the outside world thinks of our choices regarding career, from "you can have it all," to "don't abandon your children for a job," and every conceivable position in between. But for most of us, our bigger concern is how our kids regard our jobs. What do they really think we do when we go off to work each day? How do they feel about it? Are they proud of us and our accomplishments? Or do they think we spend too much time away from them?
We work for any number of reasons, from true desire to absolute necessity. Which camp do you fall into? I both love to and needed to work, and was able to work at home for the first two years of my son's life. We had a wonderful nanny, but even with our combined family income, we could barely swing it financially. My son started pre-school when he was 20 months old, and I like that our choice of a Montessori program has introduced him to the notion of work — in a good way.
At school, my son now learns that his work is play, and it's every bit as serious as mine. At home, because work is important, we respect each others' space. He knows that I won't disturb him when he's working, and he has learned not to interrupt me when I am. (Well, he's mostly learned.)
What do Your Kids Think of Your Work?
My son and I discuss everything, and work is even more of a hot topic now that I have a job outside the home. He doesn't really notice that I'm gone because he's at preschool most of the day as well, but we make it a habit of asking each other about our days. I'll ask him what he did at school, who he played with, whether he ate his lunch, and which book ia his current favorite. And he asks me if I had a good day and if I like to go to work. When I tell him I do, he is happy. We also share stories about what we saw during the day (from birds to dump trucks) and we talk about specific things we do. One day he even asked me if I'd been writing — and indeed I had!
The Circle of Moms Working Mums group has been debating these questions from various angles as well. Abby N. says that having a working mom was great for her kids because it made them more independent. Laura E.'s son, on the other hand, does not like that his mom works the graveyard shift because she is often too tired to play with him during the day. She hopes as he gets older these feelings will transform into gratitude as he begins to understand that she works so he can have a better lifestyle. And Rachel V.'s 4 1/2-year-old daughter has learned to be a good helper because she knows her mom has worked hard all day. This helps boost her self-esteen and confidence.
Narda A. offers yet another perspective: "My children always understood that I work because I love working, but they also understood that they came first. I reserved vacation days to attend school events, and I called in sick or left when they were sick." This seems to be the ideal situation to me, as Narda both actively pursues her career, but has the wherewithal to prioritize her family.
Work/Life Balance Requires Support
"I am so lucky to have such an understanding family," says Jackie F., whose husband assumes half of the childcare responsibilities. Alice T. and her husband work opposite shifts at work so that one of them can be at home with the kids at all times. We operate similarly in my household. I work the early shift so that I can pick my son up at the end of the day, and my partner covers the morning.
And we talk to our son about why we go to work, telling him it's where we make money to buy things that he enjoys — like pizza! He understands that his work has value, and so does ours. This concept helps a lot when he wakes up wanting to pour his own milk at 3 a.m. We now say, "That's mommy's work. I'll get the milk for you while you wait here in bed."
Still, there are often conflicts when he has to get up earlier than he wants so that we can get him to school before we go to work. He'll say, "No work today, no school today," knowing that when we don't go to work and school (like on weekends) we all get to stay home and have fun.
It all works out nicely when we get that quality weekend time. Kids are hard workers and need this kind of balance — just as much as we do.

Across these posts, some of my thoughts are going to apply more to self than traditional publishing. Here's a time where I'm mostly addressing my comments toward marketing self-published work, though the two techniques are not exclusively for one publishing approach.
Technique One – Choose (and Stay in)* a Popular Genre
Some fanatical self-published writers offering advice might steer you wrong when they blindly say self-publishing the best and only choice!
This is a rather ridiculous thing to claim.
The best choice is the one which suits you as a person and a writer, and to an extent, the one which suits your genre or even an individual book. For an author trying to break into the genres of literary fiction and children's fiction, I'd argue traditional publishing is going to be the more satisfying path when it comes to building an audience. To some extent, poetry is the same.
However, if you choose to write in more commercial genres such as Romance, Mystery/Thriller, Fantasy and their sub genres etc then you'll find you have less barriers to audience building and an better shot at growing a supplementary income from your writing – and that's my advice if you're looking to do that, work mostly in one of those categories.

Lexington police were using footprints in the snow to track a man who robbed a Subway on Wednesday night.
However, the tracks ended nearby and, despite help from police dogs, officers had not found the perpetrator about an hour and a half after the crime.
The man, wearing a ski mask and carrying a black handgun, walked into the Subway at 2358 Nicholasville Road near Malabu Drive just before 9 p.m.
After he demanded money, the clerk gave him an undisclosed amount of cash, police Lt. Dean Marcum said. The man then left through the back of the restaurant.
The footprints gave police a few clues, namely that the robber ran toward Malabu Drive and that he was wearing sneakers, Marcum said.
The robber was heavyset and appeared to be in his mid-30s, Marcum said. He was wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with information is asked to call Lexington police at (859) 258-3600.

By the words of many Indian Moral Guides (or moral Police as they are called) Women are inviting rape by dressing in sexually provocative dress. Now a study conducted by NGO's working for women welfare has come up with these results:
They have found that there was no pattern in the dresses worn by rape victims.
The age group of the rape victim showed no pattern.
The location was most important. Usually the location is a place where the rapist would feel safe and undetectable in his act of crime.
The NGO's used a specially developed assessment system to detect how sexually frustrated the Indian mail was. This involved the use of popular social networking sites, chatting clients, calls to random mobile numbers etc. The test was done by first initiating a conversation on any of these mediums. Then the sexual frustration was measured by calculating the time an individual male took to make a sexual advance. Surveys where also conducted to normalise the results.
The results showed that the average Indian Male was very sexual frustrated.
Now they have also collected a whole lot of dresses that women where wearing when they where subjected to any kind of sexual abuse.
The reason for the Indian Males sexual frustration is that sex is Taboo. This is not how always sex has been in the Indian Culture. This is the result of the Neo Indian culture that has developed through the 20th century. Serious steps owe to be taken by the government so as to make the Indian male less sexually frustrated.

Bill Hicks Quotes About QuittingQuotes about: Quitting
I got this big fear of doing smoking jokes in my act and showing up five years from now goin' [puts mic to his neck and speaks as if he had a mechanical larynx] 'good evening everybody, remember me, smoking's bad. [puts cigarette to neck and mimics smoking it] Eeww. You ever seen somebody do that? I've seen someone do that. Let me tell you something — if you're smoking out of a hole in your neck [mimics it again] I'd think about quitting. And that's just me, ya know.
I love talking about the Kennedy assasination. The reason I do is because I'm fascinated by it. I'm fascinated that our government could lie to us so blatantly, so obviously for so long, and we do absolutely nothing about it. I think that's interesting in what is ostensibly a democracy. Sarcasm - come on in. People say Bill, quit talking about Kennedy man. It was a long time ago, just let it go, alright? It's a long time ago, just forget it. I'm like, alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talking shelf life here.

Posted on 14 Dec 2009
Helped by firming prices in property and specialty lines such as directors and officers liability (D&O), commercial insurance prices increased slightly (0.3%) during the third quarter of 2009 -- representing the second consecutive quarter-to-quarter modest increase after nearly five years of steady decreases — according to Towers Perrin's most recent Commercial Lines Insurance Pricing Survey (CLIPS).
The survey conducted by the global professional services firm compared prices charged on policies underwritten by 35 participating insurance companies during the third quarter of 2009 to the prices charged for the same coverage during the same quarter in 2008. Commercial insurance prices also increased 0.8% during the second quarter of 2009 over the same quarter in 2008.
Only two lines showed price reductions in the quarter: workers' compensation and commercial auto. In both cases, the price decreases were minimal.
"Two quarters of flat prices underscore our belief that market conditions have changed from an environment of rampant price cutting to one where greater caution prevails," said Stephen Lowe, Managing Director of Towers Perrin's global property & casualty insurance consulting practice.
"Over the last few years, favorable claim experience caused many to believe that they had ample margins their prices, and could therefore afford to cut prices aggressively. Our view is that prices have now fallen to the point where profit margins are very thin. Since most companies now have price-monitoring systems in place, they can see that they are at the edge of the precipice — and they are reticent to cut prices further. The credit crisis and recession have also helped to create a more cautious environment."
"Looking forward, it's anyone's guess where the market goes from here," added Mr. Lowe. "We may be witnessing a new era, where better price monitoring information enables companies to manage prices with greater discipline. Alternatively, it's also possible that renewed pressure for top-line growth will cause prices to resume their downward trend, reflecting the cyclicality that has been typical in the past."
Prices for large accounts — those with premiums in excess of $50,000 — rose in the third quarter of 2009, while middle-market accounts remained basically flat. This upturn is not entirely surprising, as large accounts realized the greatest price declines in both 2007 and 2008, according to CLIPS findings. Small-account prices continue to show modest — but continually smaller — price decreases.
Year to date through the second quarter, accident-year 2009 loss ratios deteriorated 5% relative to 2008, according to CLIPS. Improvement in claim cost increase indications and the "earning" of price stabilizations taken in 2009 both contribute to the relatively modest 2009 loss ratio deterioration. This deterioration comes on top of an estimated deterioration for accident-year 2008 of 9% over 2007.
About CLIPS
CLIPS data are based on both new and renewal business figures (when available) obtained directly from carriers underwriting the business, and indicate more conservative price reductions than other marketplace surveys. This particular survey compared prices charged on policies underwritten during the third quarter of 2009 to the prices charged for the same coverage during the same quarter in 2008.
CLIPS participants represent a cross section of U.S. property & casualty insurers that includes many of both the top 10 commercial lines companies and the top 25 insurance groups in the U.S. CLIPS' measurement of both pricing changes and loss ratio changes also sets it apart from other studies.
Participation in CLIPS has been increasing, as carriers believe it provides a more accurate picture of price changes and find it useful in setting assumptions for estimates of their claim liabilities.
The survey results track the differing trends in pricing across various regions, lines of business and account sizes on a quarterly basis. Historically, price level and loss ratio change results vary considerably by line of business and market segment.

More Johnny Heitinga
So after four weeks, sixty odd matches, and many many hangovers the 2010 World Cup Final is upon us.
The Blues have a representative in the Final for the first time since 1966 when Ray Wilson helped lift the Cup for England.
Tonight I hope all Blues fans will be going Dutch as our boy Jonny Heitinga hopes to emulate Ray's feat from 1966 and help his homeland Holland win the Sports most coveted trophy.
The play Spain in the Final and they are as we know infested by shite and some ex shite players.
I am off down the pub now in my clogs, with my lump of Edam under my arm, my funny cigarette, and my token for those luvverly ladies in the windows later.
Good luck Jonny from your Blue fan club!!

If you buy something from one of the linked sites you won't pay anything more, but I might make a commission.
Saturday night I did something unbelievable (as in I still don't believe I did it): I walked a marathon. 26.2 miles. I did it to raise money for a great charity, but I also did it to prove that I could. This was the first ever MoonWalkNYC Marathon. (My registration fee was covered thanks to a sponsored post I did about the walk a while back.)
The unique thing about this fundraising walk is that you're supposed to walk it in a bra. A bra that you've decorated in some spectacular way. Frankly, the bra decorating frightened me more than the walking part. I'm to crafting what Michael Jordan is to…crafting. I couldn't even find my glue gun (I'm shocked that I even own one).
I ordered some supplies from Amazon I thought I could do something with, and let them sit in the box for a week. By Friday night I couldn't ignore them any longer, and dove in. Part of my race package included a Maidenform bra, which fit very well. and was very comfortable during the entire race.
I had a couple of false starts sewing on some tulle. Bras stretch a lot more than I though they did when you put them on, and no matter how much slack I left it wasn't enough. I needed a mannequin but didn't have one! Finally I got the tulle pinned onto the cups (which don't stretch) and started sewing.
Adding fringe to the bottom of the bra was harder, but essential – it would cover up a few inches of my stomach. I didn't really mind the trial-and-error though – I was trying to stay up all night to prepare me for the all-night walk. I made it to 5:30am and slept about 6 hours, then took a nap in the afternoon. I put on my bra and packed my stuff. I was ready.
I arrived at the departure point on Randall's island at about 9pm and met up with my friend and marathon partner, Ellen. (Ellen is the person who got me thisclose to Stephen Colbert a little while back). I mentioned that I probably should have prepared for this in some way. The last time I'd really exercised was about six weeks before. Oh well, no point worrying about it now!
There was entertainment while we were waiting for the 10:30pm start – some singers as well as these crazy people on stilts.
Mostly, though, we just watched the amazingly-decorated bras go by. I was tickled by how many men were walking in bras with their wives, and once again lamented my husband's complete lack of whimsy (I've been begging him for years to run the Disney Princess Half with me, dressed as a prince; it ain't gonna happen).
As Ellen pointed out, all of those guys were gettin' some after the race.
Ten-thirty came and we were ready to go! The first five miles sped by as Ellen and I chatted and enjoyed the scenery.
Ellen even spotted Brandi Chastain walking among us – dribbling a soccer ball, of course!
We took advantage of all the rest stops, which had fruit and other snacks.
My one huge complaint though: the bottles of water weren't cold. Cool would be fine with me, but these were actually warm! Gross. We stopped at a gas station and bought our own cold water. It also didn't occur to me at the time (I blame exhaustion), but some kind of Gatorade-like drink would have helped. Duh. I could've picked some up at the gas station! I guess I'm just used to running races, where those drinks are available on the route.
In the first few miles of the walk, when there were hundreds of us bunched up together, walking through late-night Manhattan didn't seem that weird. It was obvious that there was some kind of organized walk happening, even to the really drunk women hanging onto sleazy-looking men outside of clubs. But after a while we all spread out quite a bit, and Ellen and I were just two weird women walking around in their bras. Some people asked if we'd just come from a race, and when we said that we were actually walking a marathon right that moment, we usually got cheers and claps.
By the half-way mark I was getting tired, but getting to that point really helped mentally – it was all downhill from that point, at least figuratively. But blisters were starting, and each time we stopped at a rest stop it was harder to get going. Still, there was no question that we were going to keep moving. We were perfect walking partners, because we're both really stubborn. We were in this to finish it.
There were even fewer of our fellow walkers around us now. A lot of people had signed up for the half-marathon route, and those people had broken off long ago (and were most likely done and on their way home). We trudged on. There were volunteers every couple of blocks cheering us on, and making us feel safer as we walked through some sparse and sketchy neighborhoods. There were also a lot of cops posted along the route.
As the sky started getting light, the volunteers started asking more and more often if we wanted to bail and get a ride back to Randall's Island. Our response was basically "Get away from us, we're finishing this sucker if we have to crawl it." We did see other people drop out though. It was really sad, because they were so close to the end, but they really looked like they couldn't go another step.
Making it back onto Randall's Island under our own power was a huge mental milestone, but we still had a few miles to go. The route took us around the island and away from the finish line – so close, and yet so far! When the volunteers asked if we needed a ride we practically laughed in their faces at that point. To go all that way and then quit in the last hour? There was just no way! We kept telling each other "We're so close!" and "Just keep swimming!"
The sun was completely up now, and after a comfortable night, it was starting to get hot. More reason to keep going and get done quicker.
Getting to the 26 mile mark was such a victory. As Ellen said, "I could have kissed that sign with my mouth open." We knew we would finish. At that point, if we had both twisted our ankles we would have held each other up and hobbled to the finish line.
Just a few steps from the end, Ellen jogged past me! I somehow got my feet moving, caught up to her, and we fake-fought and pushed each other over the finish line. I can't wait to see those pictures!
We finished in just over ten hours. Ellen said that now she understands why people run these things – you're done six hours sooner!
When we went to get our checked bags, we couldn't help but notice that there were only about half a dozen other bags left. We really were just about the last to arrive. But the volunteer working the bag check told us that a lot of people bailed on the full marathon, which made us feel a lot better about our lack of speed. We were only last in the group that saw it through to the end. There was a whole other group that technically finished behind us. I'm very curious about just how many people finished.
Getting home was not easy. The subways were doing their usual weekend dance, and it took me four trains to get home when it should have been two. And at one point I fell asleep on the subway platform, waking up to see my train pulling away. I could barely move my legs and wanted to scream every time I tried. Somehow I made it home, ate, and crawled into bed for about five hours.
I feel a bit more normal today – still in pain and very stiff, but able to fake a normal walk if I absolutely had to. I ended up with just one blister, on my little toe. Ellen, however, has some impressively huge ones on both feet. After seeing those I was even more impressed that she'd made it to the end.
Ellen asked me if at any point I'd thought that we wouldn't finish, and I can honestly say no. I knew it would take more than blisters and aches to make me stop. Besides, people had donated money based on me walking a marathon, not walking for a while and quitting. I took that seriously.
Thanks to my amazing friends and readers, I was able to raise almost $700 in donations! There's still time to donate, and now that you know I've finished, and how much I went through, you know that you'll be getting your money's worth.

Imagine your child sitting with his or her peers before an enormous projection of Norman Rockwell's painting of six-year-old Ruby Bridges, the first black child to integrate an all white school in Louisiana in 1960. U.S. Marshals are escorting Ruby into her elementary school on her first day.
The teacher provokes a conversation in which students talk about the joys and challenges of first days of school. There is space in the conversation for students to talk about separating from parents, the excitement of independence, and the implications of this moment for Ruby then and now, the implications for our country then and now, the implications for us.
Your child's school day will be a series of moments like this one – engaging, tailored to her or his age, important individually and societally, and connected to other topics in her or his learning.
To be successful in our rapidly changing world children must be creative and confident. They must be flexible and critical thinkers, and they must be schooled in the art of interpersonal interaction. A tight-knit, socially attentive, intellectually vigorous community—Friends School Haverford is uniquely well suited to provide the requisite education.

Surely You Must Be Joking, Mr. Feinman.Posted on 02. Jan, 2014 by awsome_helper in
Ummm... I have no idea if you'll even read this, but here goes.
Thankyou *so* much for putting time into woz.org, through which I've been wading for the last couple of hours, reading the comments and so on. I've read other things about you through other sources but few actually made me as happy as your own site.
That's my prize comment of the day and it truly makes my day. My site was floundering and not kept up for years. All it had was the WozCam. I've sacrificed a lot to spend so much time answering so many questions. It's kind of like the performer that actually takes the time to do that sort of thing. You remember it in a good way. A similar story was when I saw Barry Manilow, whose music I don't even love or really care for. He was so respectful to the audience that it showed and he became sort of a hero of my own. At one point he brought a random stranger on-stage to sing a sing with him. He even wrapped his arms around her as they sang. At the end of the song, a helper ran out from the side and actually presented the audience member with a VHS tape of it. How thoughtful! I've seen many performers bring audience members on stage but never saw another hand them a tape.
It is so good to be able to hear what you have to say about things rather than having it painted by someone else's brush (I remember hearing somewhere that you don't read books on Apple because they have a tendency to stuff up some of the details), and the sheer amount of replies you've written practically answers all the questions I would have asked you anyway. Thankyou. And again: thankyou. A round of applause. I'm looking forward to your autobiography, if you ever get round to it.
Well, that relieves me of as much email, I hope. But if some big thing happens, like another "Pirates" movie, I'm sure that I'd have to miss answering most email due to lack of time.
Very little of the stuff on my website gets close to the heart of my autobiography, which has been postponed for years despite interest and contracts from publishers. It's similar to "Surely You Must Be Joking, Mr. Feinman." Apple and things like that are only in the background of a very entertaining and interesting story. I know that I want to write it myself. Some tries with ghost writers failed because I didn't want to contribute much time and I knew that I'd not likely be satisfied with the results anyway. Without putting in a lot of effort on my own, they never even got me samples of what they might write.
The WozCamPosted on 26. Jun, 2012 by awsome_helper in
Hi Woz, I am a newbie to computers. I read an article in the Providence Journal about your speaking at Brown University. and decided to come visit your site. I couln't get the Woz Cam to work and don't know why. Could you help? Thank you, Carol
The WozCam software came from a company and it might need version 4 of Netscape or Internet Explorer to work fully. Otherwise, after you try to move the camera, you might have to click the Reload button.
If you're on a modem, the live operation will be very hard.

Water Reuse Study E-Update - April 2006
- Reverse Osmosis Has A Variety of Water Treatment Uses
- Australian City Considering Reservoir Augmentation Project
- Recycled Water Pipeline Installation Passes Halfway Mark

- In the News
The Water Reuse Study team has created this "E-Update" to keep you up-to-date on Study activities and provide news about the recycled water industry. Each issue will be posted on this website. We are sending e-mail announcements of new issues to persons who have expressed an interest in the Study. If you did not receive an e-mail announcement and would like to, please join our news group. If you did receive an announcement about this issue, you are automatically in the news group.
If you are new to the Water Reuse Study, the Study Overview will provide helpful background information. The Frequently Asked Questions section contains additional material that may also be of interest.
Reverse Osmosis Has A Variety of Water Treatment Uses
Reverse osmosis (R/O) can be used in several ways to purify water - for advanced treatment to tertiary level recycled water, seawater desalination and for groundwater demineralization or desalination.
For cities with access to the ocean, reverse osmosis can be used to remove salt and pollutants to make seawater drinkable. Another smaller-scale way to desalinate ocean water is to boil the water and condense the steam (distillation), a process used on some ocean-going ships and boats.
A seawater desalination project generally uses a pre-filter (such as microfiltration or ultrafiltration) to remove particles before the R/O process. Without a pre-filtration step, the R/O membranes would "clog" and need more frequent replacement. In Carlsbad, California, a proposed seawater desalination project using R/O is currently undergoing environmental review. The project could produce 50 million gallons of drinkable water each day from ocean water.
Reverse osmosis is also used to make poor quality or "salty" groundwater drinkable. Because R/O removes so many minerals, "helpful" minerals are added back in before distribution and use. The first large-scale groundwater desalination project in San Diego was the Sweetwater Authority?s Richard A. Reynolds Groundwater Desalination Facility, completed in 1999. The plant produces up to four million gallons of drinkable water each day by removing dissolved salts, microscopic compounds and unwanted minerals with reverse osmosis. A pre-filtering step with cartridge filters is needed before the R/O process.
Another local project where R/O is used to desalinate groundwater is the City of Oceanside?s Mission Basin Groundwater Purification Facility. The facility currently produces an average of 2.2 million gallons of drinking water per day by removing unwanted minerals (that discolor clothes when laundered) from the local groundwater. Microfiltration is used prior to the R/O process. When a new well begins production later this year, the facility will be able to produce 6.3 million gallons of desalinated groundwater per day.
A three-step advanced water treatment process: microfiltration or ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and advanced oxidation by ultraviolet light and hydrogen peroxide, can be used for certain water reclamation projects. These projects treat recycled water to a higher level so that it can be added to underground drinking water supplies or to open reservoirs that store untreated drinking water. Reservoir augmentation, one of the water reuse options researched in the Water Reuse Study, would require this additional three-step process to recycled water produced by the City?s water reclamation facilities.
The Orange County Water District?s Groundwater Replenishment Project facility will use these three steps to produce 70 million gallons of high quality recycled water per day (70,000 acre feet per year*) when the facility goes on-line in 2007. The water will be added to an underground aquifer that supplies drinking water to area residents.
*one acre foot of water equals 325,851 gallons, enough water to supply the needs of two average-size families with a house and yard for a year
Australian City Considering Reservoir Augmentation Project
The Queensland, Australia, city of Toowoomba is proposing a reservoir augmentation project that would produce three million gallons of advanced treated recycled water per day. Faced with low water levels in its reservoirs, high energy costs to pump water into the city and limited groundwater supplies, the Toowoomba government is considering using advanced treated recycled water to supplement a local water storage reservoir created by the Cooby Dam.
Toowoomba proposes using the same three-step advanced water treatment process that has been researched by the City of San Diego Water Department at the North City Water Reclamation Plant. The same process will be used by the Orange County Water District?s Groundwater Replenishment Project. The Toowoomba City Council has established an independent advisory panel and a community engagement strategy to educate and inform citizens about the treatment process and the project. With costs estimated at $49 million, funding from the Australian government is needed for the project. Source: Water Desalination Report, March 27, 2006.
Recycled Water Pipeline Installation Passes Halfway Mark
The Otay Water District is constructing a six-mile long pipeline connecting the City of San Diego?s South Bay Water Reclamation Plant to the District?s recycled water distribution system. The pipeline will be able to deliver up to 10 million gallons per day of recycled water. The main will connect to a new 12 million gallon recycled water reservoir (steel storage tank) located just south of Olympic Parkway in the Otay Water District service area.
The new 30-inch diameter pipeline passes underneath an I-805 overpass and will be encased in a tunnel under the Otay River. Since part of the installation will be in heavily traveled streets in San Diego and Chula Vista, some work is being done at night to decrease impacts to commuters. A new pump station will be built to complete the system. The pipeline installation is over 60% complete, and the reservoir is currently under construction.
The pipeline is scheduled to be completed November 2006 and the reservoir and pumping station in spring 2007. Once the facilities are on line, the City will sell recycled water produced at the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant to the Otay Water District on a wholesale basis. The Otay Water District will distribute the water to its existing and new recycled water customers for irrigating parks, street medians, golf courses and large open spaces in eastern Chula Vista communities that include Eastlake and Otay Ranch.
Recycled Water Customer Focus ? University of California, San Diego
The Water Department is pleased to have a number of well-known customers using recycled water. The University of California, San Diego campus in La Jolla has been using City of San Diego recycled water since 1998. There are three large City meters delivering an average of 100 to 120 acre feet* per year of recycled water produced at the North City Water Reclamation Plant. The water is used for irrigation in the east, southeast and northwest parts of campus, including university athletic fields. The North Field is visible in a portion of the Water Reuse Study?s educational video as a backdrop to comments by a facilities maintenance employee on the University?s use of recycled water on campus.

The Clintons, to adapt a line from Dr. Johnson, were not only corrupt, they were the cause of corruption in others. Yet seldom in America have so many come to excuse so much mendacity and malfeasance as during the Clinton years. Here are some of the facts that have been buried.
* According to our best information, 40 government officials were indicted or convicted in the wake of Watergate. A reader computes that there was a total of 31 Reagan era convictions, including 14 because of Iran-Contra and 16 in the Department of Housing & Urban Development scandal. 47 individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes with 33 of these occurring during the Clinton administration itself. There were in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons were imprisoned. A key difference between the Clinton story and earlier ones was the number of criminals with whom he was associated before entering the White House.
Using a far looser standard that included resignations, David R. Simon and D. Stanley Eitzen in Elite Deviance, say that 138 appointees of the Reagan administration either resigned under an ethical cloud or were criminally indicted. Curiously Haynes Johnson uses the same figure but with a different standard in "Sleep-Walking Through History: America in the Reagan Years: "By the end of his term, 138 administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved, the record of his administration was the worst ever."
**Selene Walter accused Ronald Reagan of rape 39 years after the alleged assault in the 1950s. No further information is available on this case. The Juanita Broaddrick case involving Bill Clinton was investigated by the congressional impeachment counsel. According to counsel David Shippers those conducting the interview "have assured me that she is the most credible witness that either one of them have ever talked to"
- Number of Starr-Ray investigation
convictions or guilty pleas (including one governor, one associate
attorney general and two Clinton business partners): 14
- Number of individuals
and businesses associated with the Clinton machine who have been
convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47
- As of June 2000, the
Justice Department listed 25 people indicted and 19 convicted
because of the 1996 Clinton-Gore fundraising scandals.
Drug trafficking (3), racketeering, extortion, bribery (4), tax evasion, kickbacks, embezzlement (2), fraud (12), conspiracy (5), fraudulent loans, illegal gifts (1), illegal campaign contributions (5), money laundering (6), perjury, obstruction of justice.

It is important in considering these fatal incidents to bear in mind the following:
- Amount of an alleged

USA Today calls it "the hidden election," in which nearly 7,000 state legislative seats are decided with only minimal media and public attention. But there was an important national story here: evidence of the disaster that Bill Clinton was for the Democratic Party. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Democrats held a 1,542 seat lead in the state bodies in 1990. As of 1998 that lead had shrunk to 288. That's a loss of over 1,200 state legislative seats, nearly all of them under Clinton. Across the US, the Democrats controled only 65 more state senate seats than the Republicans.
Further, in 1992, the Democrats controlled 17 more state legislatures than the Republicans. After 1998, the Republicans controlled one more than the Democrats. Not only was this a loss of 9 legislatures under Clinton, but it was the first time since 1954 that the GOP had controlled more state legislatures than the Democrats (they tied in 1968).
Here's what happened to the Democrats under Clinton, based on our latest figures:
- GOP seats gained in House
since Clinton became president: 45
Here are some of the all too rare public officials, reporters, and others who spoke truth to the dismally corrupt power of Bill and Hill Clinton's political machine -- some at risk to their careers, others at risk to their lives. A few points to note:
- Those corporatist media reporters who attempted to report the story often found themselves muzzled; some even lost their jobs. The only major dailies that consistently handled the story well were the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Times.
- Nobody on this list has gotten rich and many you may not have even heard of. Taking on the Clintons typically has not been a happy or rewarding experience. At least ten reporters were fired, transferred off their beats, resigned, or otherwise got into trouble because of their work on the scandals.
- Contrary to the popular impression, the politics of those listed ranges from the left to the right, and from the ideological to the independent.
MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ was a prosecutor on the staff of Kenneth Starr. His attempts to uncover the truth in the Vincent Foster death case were repeatedly foiled and he was the subject of planted stories undermining his credibility and implying that he was unstable. Rodriguez eventually resigned.
JEAN DUFFEY: Head of a joint federal-county drug task force in Arkansas. Her first instructions from her boss: "Jean, you are not to use the drug task force to investigate any public official." Duffey's work, however, led deep into the heart of the Dixie Mafia, including members of the Clinton machine and the investigation of the so-called "train deaths." Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reports that when she produced a star witness who could testify to Clinton's involvement with cocaine, the local prosecuting attorney, Dan Harmon issued a subpoena for all the task force records, including "the incriminating files on his own activities. If Duffey had complied it would have exposed 30 witnesses and her confidential informants to violent retributions. She refused." Harmon issued a warrant for her arrest and friendly cops told her that there was a $50,000 price on her head. She eventually fled to Texas. The once-untouchable Harmon was later convicted of racketeering, extortion and drug dealing.
BILL DUNCAN: An IRS investigator in Arkansas who drafted some 30 federal indictments of Arkansas figures on money laundering and other charges. Clinton biographer Roger Morris quotes a source who reviewed the evidence: "Those indictments were a real slam dunk if there ever was one." The cases were suppressed, many in the name of "national security." Duncan was never called to testify. Other IRS agents and state police disavowed Duncan and turned on him. Said one source, "Somebody outside ordered it shut down and the walls went up."
RUSSELL WELCH: An Arkansas state police detective working with Duncan. Welch developed a 35-volume, 3,000 page archive on drug and money laundering operations at Mena. His investigation was so compromised that a high state police official even let one of the targets of the probe look through the file. At one point, Welch was sprayed in the face with poison, later identified by the Center for Disease Control as anthrax. He would write in his diary, "I feel like I live in Russia, waiting for the secret police to pounce down. A government has gotten out of control. Men find themselves in positions of power and suddenly crimes become legal." Welch is no longer with the state police.
DAN SMALTZ: Smaltz did an outstanding job investigating and prosecuting charges involving illegal payoffs to Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy, yet was treated with disparaging and highly inaccurate reporting by the likes of the David Broder and the NY Times. Espy was acquitted under a law that made it necessary to not only prove that he accepted gratuities but that he did something specific in return. On the other hand, Tyson Foods copped a plea in the same case, paying $6 million in fines and serving four years' probation. The charge: that Tyson had illegally offered Espy $12,000 in airplane rides, football tickets and other payoffs. In the Espy investigation, Smaltz obtained 15 convictions and collected over $11 million in fines and civil penalties. Offenses for which convictions were obtained included false statements, concealing money from prohibited sources, illegal gratuities, illegal contributions, falsifying records, interstate transportation of stolen property, money laundering, and illegal receipt of USDA subsidies. In addition, Janet Reno blocked Smaltz from pursuing leads aimed at allegations of major drug trafficking in Arkansas and payoffs to the then governor of the state, WJ Clinton. Espy had become Ag secretary only after being flown to Arkansas to get the approval of chicken king Don Tyson.
DAVID SCHIPPERS was House impeachment counsel and a Chicago Democrat. He did a highly creditable job but since he didn't fit the right-wing conspiracy theory, the Clintonista media downplayed his work. Thus most Americans don't know that he told Newsmax, "Let me tell you, if we had a chance to put on a case, I would have put live witnesses before the committee. But the House leadership, and I'm not talking about Henry Hyde, they just killed us as far as time was concerned. I begged them to let me take it into this year. Then I screamed for witnesses before the Senate. But there was nothing anybody could do to get those Senators to show any courage. They told us essentially, you're not going to get 67 votes so why are you wasting our time." Schippers also said that while a number of representatives had looked at additional evidence kept under seal in a nearby House building, not a single senator did.
JOHN CLARKE: When Patrick Knowlton stopped to relieve himself in Ft. Marcy Park 70 minutes before the discovery of Vince Foster's body, he saw things that got him into deep trouble. His interview statements were falsified and prior to testifying he claims he was overtly harassed by more than a score of men in a classic witness intimidation technique. In some cases there were witnesses. John Clarke was his dogged lawyer in the witness intimidation case that was largely ignored by the media, even when the three-judge panel overseeing the Starr investigation permitted Knowlton to append a 20 page addendum to the Starr Report.
THE ARKANSAS COMMITTEE: What would later be known as the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy actually began on the left - as a group of progressive students at the University of Arkansas had formed the Arkansas Committee to look into Mena, drugs, money laundering, and Arkansas politics. This committee was the source of some of the important early Clinton stories including those published in the Progressive Review.
CLINTON ADMINISTRATION SCANDALS E-LIST: Moderated by Ray Heizer, this list was subject to all the idiosyncrasies of Internet bulletin boards, but nonetheless proved invaluable to researchers and journalists.
JERRY SEPER of the Washington Times was far and away the best beat reporter of the story, handling it week after week in the best tradition of investigative journalism. If other reporters had followed Seper's lead, the history of the Clintons' machine might have been quite different.
AMBROSE EVANS-PRITCHARD of the London Telegraph did a remarkable job of digging into some of the seamiest tales from Arkansas and the Clinton past. Other early arrivals on the scene were Alexander Cockburn and Jeff Gerth.
CHRISTOPHER RUDDY, among other fine reports on the Clinton scandals, did the best job laying out the facts in the Vince Foster death case.
ROGER MORRIS AND SALLY DENTON wrote a major expose of events at Mena, but at the last moment the Washington Post's brass ordered the story killed. It was published by Penthouse and later included in Morris' "Partners in Power," the best biography of the Clintons.
OTHERS who helped get parts of the story out included reporters Philip Weiss, Carl Limbacher, Wes Phelan, David Bresnahan, William Sammon, Liza Myers, Mara Leveritt, Matt Drudge, Jim Ridgeway, Nat Hentoff, Michael Isikoff, Christopher Hitchens and Michael Kelly. Also independent investigator Hugh Sprunt and former White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich.
SAM SMITH of the Progressive Review wrote the first book (Shadows of Hope, University of Indiana Press, 1994) deconstructing the Clinton myth. The Review provided extensive coverage of the topic, for which Smith was banned from CSPAN and Washington public radio station WAMU

Is there a Write Side to the Web?
Stu Charlton presented this week a keynote at the WWW 2011 workshop for RESTful design trying to answer the question: "Can the write side of the Web scale and become nearly as serendipitous as the read side?"
SPARQL Update to Complete RESTful SOA Scenario
The Linking Open Data Community Project has accomplished a global RESTful SOA giving access to over two billion interlinked statements (RDF triples) from some 50 distributed providers with one serious limitation: this stunning network provides read access only. The upcoming SPARQL Update language is going to overcome this.
Cool URIs in a RESTful World
What might this be: "envisioned as a decentralised world-wide information space for sharing machine-readable data with a minimum of integration costs"? Is this about REST? Nope. According to SWEO, it is about the Semantic Web. Cool URIs will help making this way. So it might be worth looking whether RESTful SOA URIs can also be "cool".
A Comparative Clarification: Microformats vs. RDF
James Simmons posted on the Semantic Focus blog and Johannes la Poutré on the Squio blog had a web discussion on the differentiation between Microformats and RDF as they relate to the semantic web. While they both agree that RDF and Microformats are very different, they have a very different take on how that impacts their respective relevance to the semantic web.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 09, 2013
Resource4thePeople today announced its latest legal information update for consumers following allegations that the use of the diabetes drug Actos (pioglitazone) may cause patients to develop bladder cancer.
The most recent news is that the judge overseeing more than 1,300 consolidated federal Actos bladder cancer lawsuits* from across the country held an important status conference on the case on July 25, 2013.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs seeking compensation over allegations that they developed bladder cancer as a result of the use of the diabetes medication and attorneys for the drug's manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, briefed the judge about the progress of the lawsuits.
"These status conference are of immense value because legal problems that may develop as this litigation progresses to possible settlements or trials surface and are brought to the attention of the judge," said Resource4thePeople.
"Among the issues discussed are any problems that might be involved in pre-trial discovery, or evidence-gathering, as well as establishing a timetable for bellwether trials in which both sides will be able to test the strength of their cases."
Resource4thePeople is encouraged with the progress so far and is also announcing that its national network of attorneys will continue to provide free consultations for consumers who wish to inquire about seeking compensation for any allegations of bladder cancer connected with the use of Actos.
During the hearing U.S. District Judge Rebecca F. Doherty in the Western District of Louisiana also scheduled the next status conference for Aug. 22, according to the court file in the multidistrict litigation.
Doherty was chosen by a national federal panel of judges to oversee pre-trial evidence-gathering and legal procedures in the litigation and possibly eventually decide whether to grant the litigation class-action status.
"It is apparent from the regular calendaring of status conferences that the judge is actively managing these hundreds of lawsuits which allege that the long-term use of Actos to treat their diabetes may expose them to life-threatening injuries," said Resource4thePeople.
"We will continue to monitor these proceedings and report the status of the litigation to consumers who may have been affected by the alleged side effects that are central to these lawsuits."
Resource4thePeople also is reporting that more Actos lawsuits involving allegations that the type 2 diabetes drug can cause bladder cancer are continuing to be filed across the country.
Among the most recent were 14 Actos lawsuits** filed in Wayne County Circuit Court in West Virginia alleging that the use of the medication caused the plaintiffs to develop bladder cancer.
"The allegations contained in the most recent filings as well as those n the multidistrict litigation involve the same claims that our national network of lawyers are reviewing from consumers," said Resource4thePeople.
There has also been another important development in connection with allegations that Actos may be linked to life-threatening bladder cancer: India has now banned the sale of the medication out of concerns for consumer safety.
Resource4thePeople reports that the ban on Actos, manufactured by Asian pharmaceutical giant Takeda was detailed*** in the June 27, 2013 edition of The Times of India, the national newspaper, which wrote:
"In the case of pioglitazone too, France has already taken it off the shelves, while in the US it is sold with a boxed warning. The warning emphasizes that it may cause or worsen heart failure, and its use for over a year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer."
The Times report said that the government also banned sales of the pain-killer analgin and anti-depressant deanxit "in the wake of health risks associated with them."
The Times said the ministry of health and family welfare has suspended the manufacture and sale of all three drugs under Section 26A of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 with immediate effect, through a notification issued on June 18.
"While the ministry has been dilly-dallying on withdrawing analgin and deanxit for years now, despite pressure from a parliamentary panel, the decision on the diabetes drug pioglitazone has taken the industry completely by surprise," said the Times.
Concerns about Actos were raised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on June 15, 2011 after the agency staff reviewed a Takeda-sponsored study which documented an increased risk of developing bladder cancer with Actos than other diabetes drugs.****
Here is part of the safety announcement:
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is informing the public that use of the diabetes medication Actos (pioglitazone) for more than one year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer. Information about this risk will be added to the Warnings and Precautions section of the label for pioglitazone-containing medicines. The patient Medication Guide for these medicines will also be revised to include information on the risk of bladder cancer."
Resource4thePeople is also responding to consumer inquiries by making them aware that Actos also has been banned in Germany but has not been recalled so far in the United States, where the FDA has chosen to issue a health warning.

Five-yr-old's body found buried with skull broken
The body of a five-year-old boy, reported missing three days ago, was recovered buried inside a hastily-dug pit in northwest Delhi.delhi Updated: Mar 11, 2013 02:12 IST
The body of a five-year-old boy, reported missing three days ago, was recovered buried inside a hastily-dug pit in northwest Delhi.
The incident comes a week after two siblings were found murdered after having been kidnapped for ransom by their own uncle.
Identified as Rohan, the victim, a student of lower kindergarten at a local government school, had gone missing from his residence in Kushak village near Swarup Nagar on Thursday evening.
"His family had approached the local police station on March 7 and lodged a missing person's report. A case was registered soon after. No ransom calls were received by the family during the victim's absence. We are investigating the case from all angles," said P Karunakaran, deputy commissioner of police (northwest).
According to police, Rohan's body — half buried in the ground — was recovered after a village resident spotted a dark figure moving mysteriously in a field around 3am.
The eyewitness, police claimed, raised an alarm and rushed to the spot with other residents to investigate even as the mysterious figure, having sensed trouble, disappeared from the scene.
"When locals reached the spot where the movement had been noticed, Rohan's body was recovered. An initial medical examination revealed that the cause of his death was a fatal injury to his skull," said an officer investigating the case.
Police said they were investigating whether personal enmity of the victim's father —Chandrabhan, a security guard at a factory which manufactures RO water purifiers — with someone in the village had anything to do with Rohan's murder.
"The victim's father claims he didn't have any personal enmity with anyone. We are investigating his claim. We have detained some neighbours and other local residents for questioning," said the officer.
Last Saturday, the decaying bodies of two siblings, who had been abducted from outside their east Delhi school four days ago, were found dumped on a railway track in central Delhi's Pragati Maidan.
The siblings — seven-year-old Mansij and his five-year-old sister Yashvi Kumar, as per findings of an initial post-mortem examination — seemed to have been murdered hours after being abducted from their private east Delhi school on Tuesday afternoon.

|Assignment maps are mathematical operators that describe initial system-environment states for open quantum systems. We re-examine the notion of assignments that account for correlations between the system and the environment and show that these maps can be made linear at the expense of giving up positivity or consistency of the map. We study the role of positivity and consistency of the map and show the effects of relaxing these. Finally, we establish a connection between the violation of the positivity of linear assignments and the no-broadcasting theorem.
