NEW BRUNSWICK – After raising nearly $50,000 over the past two years to support research, treatment, prevention, and education programs at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), Allstate New Jersey Insurance Company has kicked off its 2011 "Quotes for a Cure" program. This year, Allstate New Jersey hopes to raise more than $40,000 for CINJ through the program. CINJ is New Jersey's only Comprehensive Cancer Center as designated by the National Cancer Institute and is a Center of Excellence of UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
Now through Nov. 1, Allstate New Jersey will donate $10 to the CINJ Foundation for every life or auto insurance quote requested (up to $20 per person) through any of Allstate's 240 New Jersey agents (www.allstateagencies.com).
The success of last year's campaign in particular is credited to the dedication of the individual agents and agencies, who utilized various marketing methods including social media platforms to educate patrons, family, friends, and those in their community about the program.
"Thanks to Allstate New Jersey's efforts CINJ's physician scientists have the opportunity to further explore the many facets of this disease, which unfortunately touches so many," said CINJ Foundation Director of Major Gifts Leanne Kochy. "We are extremely pleased to have them once again serve as a community partner in our mission to advance cancer research and increase cancer awareness."
"Allstate New Jersey takes pride in helping people protect their financial assets, and we are equally pleased that through this unique campaign we can also contribute to the fight against cancer," said Allstate New Jersey President William P. Ballinger. "I am proud of Allstate New Jersey's continued efforts in growing this worthwhile program and of our overall commitment to our customers and the communities where we live and do business."
More about the program can be found at www.cinjfoundation.org.

Stepping into Gigio's Subs and More, patrons will receive as warm a welcome as if they walked into the De Leo family kitchen.
Judy and Joe De Leo are working hard to make sure all their customers are full and happy when they visit the Plains Township restaurant. The couple opened the eatery last year to showcase Judy De Leo's homemade goods, from pizza and pasta to cookies and pastries. Thus far, the customers are enjoying the friendly, family atmosphere and fresh-made dishes, said Joe De Leo.
"It's a breath of fresh air for the people coming in," he said. "If you come in, you have to eat. I want a very good relationship with every person coming in the door."
Judy De Leo started her career as a chef at Genetti's Hotel and Conference Center, where she worked for 13 years with executive chef Bruno Campisano. Drawing on her extensive food service experience, the couple decided to start their own business. Judy De Leo got the name from the little Italian mouse puppet, Topo Gigio, that appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
"We wanted something we could do together," Joe De Leo said.
He raved about his wife's cooking, highlighting many of the items she makes from scratch, like sausage or pasta or special cakes. They first opened as a small takeout business last summer, but demand — purely on word-of-mouth recommendations — allowed them to expand.
"She does a really nice job. It's all her. She loves it," he said, adding his wife is willing to make what the customers want. "(Customers) say, 'What will you have next week?' And she'll say, 'What do you want?'"
Gigio's offers Sicilian, single crust white, fresh tomato basil and double crusted stuffed with four cheese pizzas.
For subs, customer can create their own — either the 8-inch "Gumba" or the 12-inch "Bruno." There's plenty of Italian meats to choose from — hard salami, pepperoni, proscuitto, hot capicola, mortandella and sopressata, as well as hot peper ham, fresh-baked turkey, homemade corned beef or meatballs stuffed with provolone cheese.
The cheese choices include American, Swiss, provolone or cooper, and all sandwiches come with a homemade dill pickle and a choice of lettuce, tomato, onion and hot peppers. They source locally whenever they can, Joe De Leo said.
"We try to give local people, local growers a shot," he said.
In addition to sandwiches like grilled cheese and ruebens, they also serve cheesesteaks and chicken cheese steaks with onions, peppers and sauce. They make homemade soups as well.
Monday nights are homemade pasta nights with several selections like gnocchi and ravioli, though they hope to expand that to their regular menu. They recently added breakfast hours on the weekends, making favorites like homemade pancakes.
Judy De Leo also makes desserts and pastries, like Italian rum cake, as well as several varieties of cookies, including Italian favorites like anise and black pepper.
"The black pepper are really popular," Joe De Leo said, showing off the items on the counter and in a glass-fronted display case. "Everything in here, she's responsible for."

Lung cancers, also known as bronchogenic carcinomas, are broadly classified into two types: small cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC).
SCLC comprise about 20% of lung cancers and are the most aggressive and rapidly growing of all lung cancers. SCLC are strongly related to cigarette smoking, with only 1% of these tumors occurring in nonsmokers. SCLC metastasize rapidly to many sites within the body and are most often discovered after they have spread extensively.
NSCLC are the most common lung cancers, accounting for about 80% of all lung cancers. NSCLC can be divided into three main types that are named based upon the type of cells found in the tumor:
- Adenocarcinomas are the most commonly seen type of NSCLC. Most adenocarcinomas arise in the outer, or peripheral, areas of the lungs.
- Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a subtype of adenocarcinoma that frequently develops at multiple sites in the lungs and spreads along the preexisting alveolar walls.
- Squamous cell carcinomas were formerly more common than adenocarcinomas; at present, they account for about 30% of NSCLC. Also known as epidermoid carcinomas, squamous cell cancers arise most frequently in the central chest area in the bronchi.
Large cell carcinomas, sometimes referred to as undifferentiated carcinomas, are the least common type of NSCLC. Mixtures of different types of NSCLC are also observed.
However, Bronchial carcinoids account for up to 5% of lung cancers. These tumors are generally small when diagnosed and occur most commonly in people under 40 years of age. Carcinoids generally grow and spread more slowly than bronchogenic cancers, and many are detected early enough to be amenable to surgical resection.

It is finally here. Opera has launched its popular iPad browser Coast for iPhone too.
The Coast browser is a completely different take on mobile browsers and lets users pin websites likes apps on the homepage of the browser. The app is also much more intuitive than an average browser and lets users just swipe to bring up earlier pages. However, it was limited to the iPad.
"I was never quite happy with how apps and browsers kind of got in the way of the content. With Opera Coast, we have made content the main star of the show, letting the browser app itself get out of the way when you just want to kill some time. It's the way the web was meant to be enjoyed," said Huib Kleinhout, Product Manager on the Opera Coast project at Opera Software.
Coast is different for it has been 'made for thumbs'. In other words, this browser has been thought of as a solution for touchscreen and gestures take care of practically all of the navigation needs. You have just two buttons in the entire app to deal with.

Quick Reference
No single or unitary concept exists in the Bible. There is in the OT a strong sense of the created order, from which God as its maker is entirely distinct, but there is no conception of the universe as a system to be explored, explained, and loved. The NT has several words in Greek translated 'world' of which kosmos is the most frequent, meaning the universe (Acts 17: 24). A second word is oikoumene (e.g. Heb. 1: 6), meaning the inhabited world; and, thirdly, aion used for the contrast between 'this world' and 'the world to come'. Paul exhorts his readers not to be conformed to this world, aion, or age (Rom. 12: 2). According to John, the world was made through Christ (John 1: 3), taking up the OT idea of the word in Prov. 8: 22, but yet the world apart from Christ stands under judgement (John 16: 8–11). In this derogatory sense, the world is to be renounced (1 John 2: 15–17), though Jesus did not want the disciples to withdraw from the world (John 17: 15) in the sense of society. Nor did Paul (1 Cor. 5: 10).

By Laila Kearney
(Reuters) - The New Mexico Supreme Court has refused to overturn a murder conviction over the dismissal of a juror with limited English skills - but reminded lawyers and judges the state constitution allows non-English speaking citizens to serve on juries.
Convicted killer Michael Samora asked the state high court to overturn his 2008 first-degree murder conviction on the grounds that the trial judge had violated his rights by excusing a prospective juror who had difficulty understanding English.
The five-member court, in a unanimous ruling handed down on Monday, rejected that argument, saying that such an error by the trial judge was not enough to throw out Samora's conviction, and that his attorneys should have raised the issue at trial.
But in a 10-page written opinion, Justice Charles Daniels cautioned that the right of non-English speaking citizens to be jurors was affirmed by the state constitution.
"Accordingly, while we affirm defendant's convictions, we stress to trial judges and lawyers that they have a shared responsibility to make every reasonable effort to protect the right of our non-English-speaking citizens to serve on New Mexico juries," Daniels wrote.
The other four justices concurred in that opinion.
The defense raised six additional challenges to his conviction, including a lack of DNA evidence and problems with witness testimonies, claims the Supreme Court deemed insufficient in its ruling.
Samora was convicted of first-degree murder and other charges for the 2004 bludgeoning death of his girlfriend and robbery and stabbing at an Albuquerque convenience store.

In her book, The Faith of Ronald Reagan, Mary Beth Brown painted a beautiful portrait of our 40th President and the faith he possessed. This book takes the reader on a journey from the small town of Tampico, Illinois where Ronald Reagan was born, to Dixon, Illinois where he was raised, all the way through to his career in the movie industry and then on to the White House. Throughout his life there were twists and turns and ups and downs, but through it all, Reagan saw the hand of God leading and directing him to God's higher purpose. He was yielded to his God, and God used him.
Brown uses quotes from President Reagan's autobiographies, and speeches along with interviews from those closest to him, including his wife Nancy, and his children, to tell his incredible story of faith which began with the influence of his mother Nelle and continued through to the "sunset of his life." The Faith of Ronald Reagan was a testimony of his life, but also the testimony of the faithful God he served.
From the first page, to the very last, I was captivated by a man who I had heard so much about but never really knew until now. Brown's style of writing was easy to read and it portrayed Reagan's life in a way that most secular history books would not. I was inspired by Ronald Reagan's life of faith and how God used this humble man for greatness because his life was yielded to Him.
The book concluded with the five eulogies give at his memorial service on June 11, 2004 by his son Michael Reagan, George Herbert Bush, his daughter Patti Davis, Margaret Thatcher, and George W. Bush. Each person shared his or her personal experience with President Reagan. Though the stories shared were different, the underlying theme was the same. Ronald Reagan was a humble, kind, man of faith whose main purpose was to honor his Lord. I highly recommend this book.

book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 : "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

Guatemala Currency
Guatemala Currency is well explained in this Wikipedia page.
Guatemalan loves the bills and you will have to use them daily unless you leave in a big city like Guatemala Ciudad, Antigua Guatemala, Quetzaltenango,...where it is easy to pay with credit cards.
Now if you go to markets, take public transportation be ready to carry change. As it is much easier to get better prices when the sellers don't have to give back change.
When you go to withdraw money either from your personal bank account or changing foreign currency always ask for "cambio" which means change.
Always check that the bills you receive are in perfect conditions as in the market often the sellers don't take bills cut or with part missing..
The highest bill demonination is of Q 200.00 but you will be almost never get one unless you ask at the bank.
A good thing is also to keep some cash at your house particularly in case of emergency like a Earth Quake, volcanic Eruption.. that will require for you to leave your house quickly.
Always check the exchange rate of the day at this site Xe.com or at your local bank.

Chelsea Handler is giving back in a big way.
When John C. Reilly stopped by the comedienne's E! talk show, Chelsea Lately, on Oct. 31, the Wreck-It Ralph star asked audience members and television viewers to donate $10 to the Red Cross' relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy by texting REDCROSS to 90999.
"People are going to be dealing with it for a long time," Reilly, 47, explained.
"I'm gonna do it right now. Go ahead, keep talking," the actor told Handler, 37. "Ask whatever you want."
Inspired by Reilly's generosity, Handler — a New Jersey native — pledged to donate $100,000 to the Red Cross in the actor's name.
Other celebrities who have asked fans to donate to the Red Cross' relief efforts include LL Cool J, Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford and Denise Richards. On Friday, Nov. 2, at 8 p.m. EST, musicians including Christina Aguilera and Jon Bon Jovi will perform during a one-hour telethon, Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together, on several NBCUniversal networks.

HTC has confirmed via its Twitter feed that users of all of its Android smartphones will be getting 5GB of extra memory through the Dropbox cloud storage service.
Previously there had been doubts as to whether every Android owner would receive the free Dropbox storage, initially Pocket-lint was told that the offer would only extend to new smartphone owners, such as the HTC Ryhme, essentially sporting the HTC Sense 3.5 skin over the Android operating system.
As the Sense 3.5 skin only comes on new devices it was thought customers may have to splash the cash, however HTC clearly states on Twitter:
"We're proud to announce that we've partnered with Dropbox, bringing 5GB of storage to all of our Android phones."
This appears to be a slightly confused message: on the one hand Pocket-lint was told that it is only Sense 3.5 owners who will be getting the free service, and yet HTC is saying that 5GB of Storage will come to "all our Android phones".
Perhaps a mass update to Sense 3.5 is on the cards or perhaps HTC has changed its mind - it will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
Good news? Let us know you thought in the comments...

This program describes the process, teaches how to take advantage of opportunities and gives a step-by-step blueprint to get an athlete to college and to play the sport they love.
Reno, NV (PRWEB) November 07, 2013
Recognizing the need to educate student athletes and their parents about the college athletic recruiting process and how to build a strategy to successfully navigate it, Play Up Athletics has released a new product.
The product officially launched November 1st in Reno, Nevada and is immediately available for purchase on the company's web site. The product, called The Athletic Edge: The Complete Guide to College Athletic Recruitment, contains (8) eight audio CD's, a (110) one hundred and ten page workbook and a free one year subscription to College Coaches Online (an internet search site listing the contact information for all college coaches - a value of $59.95). The program sells for $197.95 plus tax, shipping, handling, and comes with a thirty day money back guarantee.
Student athletes, parents and club coaches are often uninformed, confused or misinformed about the college athletic recruiting process and how to get an athlete recruited by a college coach. This program describes the process, teaches how to take advantage of opportunities and gives a step-by-step blueprint to get an athlete to college and to play the sport they love. This innovative approach not only deals with the nuts and bolts of the recruiting process, but also the intangible qualities coaches desire in an athlete, which can be learned, perfected and used to market themselves to prospective college programs.
The Athletic Edge program advocates that the athlete take control of their recruiting experience and ultimately choose the type of college experience they want and where they want to go to school, rather than being chosen by someone else and be stuck with the college experience that someone else chooses for them. There is only one chance to get this choice right, and getting it wrong can have devastating consequences.
In the past there have been three choices when considering developing a strategy to get an athlete recruited by a college coach. The first was to do nothing, which has its obvious drawbacks. The second was to hire someone to do it for you. This is usually very expensive, gives the athlete very little input, and is less likely to get the athlete the college experience they want. The third choice is to do it yourself, which is obviously less expensive and gives the athlete and their family more input into the process, but few athletes and parents know what to do and how to do it, and end up making mistakes or getting bad advice.
The Athletic Edge was created as an attempt to give parents, athletes and club coaches a fourth choice. Chuck Lovitt, President and Coach at Play Up Athletics, says "we wanted to give athletes and their families another alternative. One that provides the quality information and exposure you would get from a recruiting service, yet gain more control of the process, at an affordable price, in some cases saving thousands of dollars, with more effective results."
The Athletic Edge college recruitment program is affordable, effective and easy to follow. It is a step by step system to educate athletes and their families and allows them to take control of the process and choose the type of college experience they want for themselves. The Athletic Edge is available now on the Play Up Athletic website at playupathletics.com.
Play Up Athletics was founded in 2011 by Chuck Lovitt, after he had created a recruitment program for high school athletes that experienced great success in helping athletes get to college to play their sport, and prepare them for the rest of their lives. The company started out, and still specializes in, coaching individual athletes through the recruiting process, either in a group or one-on-one setting. This is the first product produced by the company.

The Prime Minister (Mr. Tony Blair): With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I should like to make a statement on the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting that took place in Coolum, in Queensland, Australia, from 1 to 4 March. I pay warm tribute to Prime Minister John Howard and the Australian Government for the excellent arrangements for the meeting, and to John Howard personally for his patient and skilful chairmanship.
I also want to record how much the presence of Her Majesty the Queen meant to all the Heads of Government in this, her jubilee year. It provided an opportunity for us all to reflect on her remarkable contribution to the Commonwealth over the past 50 years. I shall be pleased to join Her Majesty for the observance service to celebrate Commonwealth day on Monday 11 March.
The Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting was due to take place last autumn. It was postponed because of the atrocious terrorist attacks in the United States on 11 September. It was therefore entirely fitting that one of the major items of business at this week's meeting was the adoption of a Commonwealth plan of action on terrorism. That focuses on how to help member states, particularly smaller states, to fulfil their international obligations in fighting terrorism, including those provided for by United Nations Security Council resolution 1373.
The Commonwealth Heads of Government also adopted the report of the high-level review group established at the previous Heads of Government meeting in Durban in 1999. That report broadens the remit of the Commonwealth's ministerial-level watchdog, the Commonwealth ministerial action group, beyond the overthrow of democratically elected governments so that it will in future be able to examine crises other than those provoked by a coup d'état. It strengthens the good offices role of the Commonwealth Secretary-General, and streamlines the secretariat's structure.
The Heads of Government also established a high-level expert group to report on globalisation to the 2003 Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Nigeria. The high-level group report and the plan on terrorism are covered in the Coolum declaration, which was agreed by Heads of Government at the conference. I have arranged for a copy to be placed in the Library of the House.
Those useful developments strengthen the Commonwealth as an organisation committed to promoting democracy and good governance, economic development, and tolerance and racial harmony among its members. It is all the more deplorable therefore that one of those members, Zimbabwe, should have a President and a Government who are so clearly violating those core Commonwealth values.
The current crisis in Zimbabwe was extensively discussed. The violence and intimidation unleashed by President Mugabe in his desperation to prevent an Opposition victory in next weekend's presidential elections is totally unacceptable. So is the way in which he made it impossible for European Union observers to
President Mugabe pretends that the current crisis has been prompted by the issue of land reform rather than by his determination to stay in power no matter what the verdict of the electorate. That is nothing more than a pretext. Successive British Governments have made clear their commitment to supporting land reform in Zimbabwe. My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary repeated that commitment at the Abuja meeting in Nigeria last September. Indeed, since independence Britain has provided over £40 million specifically for land reform, and over £0.5 billion in development assistance.
However, our efforts, and those of the wider international communityincluding the United Nations Development Programmehave been thwarted by the political intransigence, and indeed corruption, of President Mugabe and his Government. Make no mistake, Mr. Speaker: if President Mugabe had wanted an orderly and just land reform programme at any stage in the past few years, we would have been keen to work with him. He did not. Instead he has used the land reform issue as an excuse for undermining Zimbabwean democracy; and more than this, the actions have now provoked a grave economic crisis in a country that has the potential to be rich and successful. This is a tragedy for all Zimbabwe's people. The victims of Mr. Mugabe are not primarily white; they are the ordinary black citizens fed up with years of decline and corruption.
President Mugabe's behaviour was denounced by a very large number of Commonwealth countries at Coolum. Again we should make it clear that this included outspoken and courageous condemnation by African leaders who understand very well that the damage that President Mugabe is doing harms not only Zimbabwe but Africa as a whole. Despite President Mugabe's mob propaganda, this is not an issue that divides the Commonwealth on racial linesnot one that divides Africa from the other Commonwealth members.
Although there was a strong current of criticism running at Coolum, decisions need to be unanimous at the Heads of Government meeting, and in a body representing more than 50 separate nations there was no realistic prospect of a consensus for suspending Zimbabwe from Commonwealth membership in advance of the elections this coming weekend. But we did agree a statement on Zimbabwe that expressed deep concern about the violence surrounding the current election campaign, and called for free and fair elections. That statement makes provision for Zimbabwe's suspension, if the report of the Commonwealth observers currently in Zimbabwe is adverse.
If the observers' report does indeed find widespread evidence of intimidation and violence, the fudging will have to stop. The credibility of the Commonwealth itself is at stake. The procedures laid down in the Harare Commonwealth declaration and the Millbrook Commonwealth action programme are clear, and action must follow, up to and including suspension. Let me add that it is a remarkable tribute to the strength of democracy in Zimbabwe that the Opposition retain even a chance of
The Coolum meeting provided an opportunity for me to meet a number of African leaders to discuss the New Partnership for African Development. We need to work with Africa, through the G8 and through a wide range of international organisations, to grasp this opportunity for a new start, and new hope for Africa. On aid, trade and conflict I believe that we have a real chance for progress, with commitment and leadership on both sides. We will continue to make that a major priority of British policy.
Coolum also allowed me to meet the Heads of Government of Commonwealth Caribbean countries. We discussed ways of developing the United Kingdom's relations with them, and ways of helping them to confront the challenges that they face, particularly in countering drugs and terrorism, and in the economic and trade fields. There will be a further opportunity to develop that dialogue at the meeting of the UK/Caribbean Forum in Georgetown, Guyana, next month.
Finally, I co-hosted with John Howard the Commonwealth sports lunch, where we looked forward to the Commonwealth games in Manchester this summer and then in Melbourne in 2006.
I wish to conclude with thanks to my right hon. Friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary for the work that he did in preparing for the Coolum meeting, particularly in the Commonwealth ministerial action group. It was a great sadness that, for personal reasons, he was unable to attend the meeting itself, but I wish also to record my thanks to my noble Friend Baroness Amos for the valuable role that she played at Coolum.
Mr. Iain Duncan Smith (Chingford and Woodford Green): May I join the Prime Minister at the outset in recording my pleasure at the presence of Her Majesty at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting during her jubilee year? As the Prime Minister so rightly said, the leadership and service that she has given to the Commonwealth over the last 50 years is admired and respected by very many people around the globe, and I, like him, look forward to the observance service on 11 March. I also welcome the adoption of the action plan on terrorism, and that part of the Coolum communiqué that reaffirms the principles of working to reduce poverty through the Commonwealth institutions.
However, no hon. Member can be satisfied with the outcome of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting regarding Zimbabwe. What the Prime Minister said in condemning Mr. Mugabe is quite right, and I associate myself with all those statements criticising him and accusing him of all the things that he has done. This is not about black versus white in Zimbabwe, and it never has been; it is about everyone in Zimbabwe suffering under a tyrant who has thrown out the rule of law and democracy. However, the suggestion that the Commonwealth might in due course merely voice "collective disapproval" at the actions of the Zimbabwe Government is only the latest in a litany of laughable and inadequate responses that have too often let Mr. Mugabe off the hook.
Last October, the Prime Minister publicly told his party that there must be "no tolerance" of
We were not alone in voicing our concerns. In September last year, the leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, Morgan Tsvangiraia very brave mancalled for Zimbabwe to be suspended from the Commonwealth if Mugabe breached the law on land reform. The British Government never publicly set any such benchmark. In fact, it was a further three months before the Commonwealth declared that the situation in Zimbabwe was a "serious and persistent violation" of its fundamental principles.
Why did it then take the Foreign Secretary and the Government another three weeks after that long delay finally to recommend that Zimbabwe should be suspended from the Commonwealth? In the four months taken to get to that point, Mr. Mugabe's regime of terror continued unabated and very well reported, yet my concern was that the Government dithered: they seemed to hide behind the claim to be working within the European Union, yet Europe, too, was dragging its feet.
It was not until 28 Januaryonly five weeks agothat the Foreign Secretary was able to say that the EU's position on sanctions was "clear, unambiguous and unanimous". Even then, it took another three weeks and the expulsion of the head of the EU observer mission for sanctions to be imposed. People such as Mr. Mugabe clearly feed off that kind of indecisiveness. It is no wonder thatdespite the Prime Minister's best efforts, which we support, in Brisbanehe could not persuade his Commonwealth colleagues to take action against Zimbabwe. As far as they were concerned, the British Government only decided to support suspension just under two months ago.
It could all have been very different. If there had been real leadership throughout, from whatever source, the Commonwealth would have sent a much stronger message, and one that we would have done well to learn.
The lesson is that we must not repeat that failure, and the Prime Minister therefore needs to answer some important, key questions about the future action that the Commonwealth may or may not take.
First, will the Prime Minister guarantee Morgan Tsvangirai the full support of the British Governmentwhether he wins or losesnot just now, but in the difficult months ahead? Secondly, will the right hon. Gentleman make it clear to the House that the transparency of Sunday's election will be judged on the criteria laid down by the Southern African Development Community in March last year? Thirdly, does he agree that, if those forces opposed to democracy continue their terrible destruction of Zimbabwe, an international coalition composed of the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe and the Commonwealth should take all necessary steps to secure a safe future for Zimbabwe?
The Commonwealth's statements on Zimbabwe and Mugabe this past weekend have been weak and ineffectual, and we must ensure that a much stronger and clearer message goes out to Zimbabwe. I served in Zimbabwe when we brought about the transition to the current Government back in 197980so I need no sedentary lectures from Labour Members, who have done nothing but mouth offand the high hopes of those days are now being destroyed. The Government's policy and those of the Commonwealth now read like a text book on how not to deal with a tyrant. The Government talk a lot about leading in Europe and leading in the Commonwealth. They have not yet done soperhaps now is the time for them to pull this situation back before it is too late.

Remains of Chinas 'oldest kingdom' unearthedDecember 4th, 2007 - 3:35 pm ICT by admin
New Delhi, Dec.4 (ANI): A 4,000-year-old city, said to be larger than the Forbidden City in Beijing, has been unearthed on the east coast.
Archaeologists believe this could be the oldest kingdom in Chinese history.
According to The China Daily, the Liangzhu ancient city ruins - found in Yuhang county of Zhejiang Province - can be traced back at least 4,300 years, and cover an area of 2.9 million square meters with the city walls 4-6 meters in width.
The first discovery was made in June last year when apartment buildings were to be built in Putaoban Village of Yuhang.
Archaeologists were called in because the village is part of the Neolithic Liangzhu Culture protection zone, which is centered on Yuhang and extends to present day Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces as well as Shanghai.
Under a patch of rice field, archaeologists found a 40-meter-wide ancient ditch built of hardened earth, in which were large amounts of pottery shards.
Liu Bin, a researcher at the Zhejiang Archaeological Institute, said when archaeologists dug a deep hole on the eastern bank of the north-south ditch, they were surprised to find a large area built of hammered soil and pebbles.
Further excavations showed that the ditch was a canal outside the city, and the area to its east was the remains of part of the city wall.
The walls extended 1,500-1,700 m from east to west and 1,800-1,900 m from north to south. The city covers an area of 2.9 million sq m, 200,000 sq m more than the Forbidden City.
It is the largest Neolithic city discovered in China, said Yan Wenming, a professor at Peking University.
"The city could have been the capital of the Liangzhu Kingdom," he was quoted by the Hangzhou-based Metropolitan Express News as saying.
Further evidence is needed to prove the city was the capital of the kingdom, he said. (ANI)

Why is it we humans keep trying to out-do Mother Nature? It never works. For instance, let's talk about microwave cooking. Do you still microwave? If you do get ready to say goodbye to this convenient health sabotager. Yes, you read that right. Despite the fact a microwave oven can probably be found in at least 90% of homes, no-one should be using one. I bet you haven't heard the Soviet Union banned the use of microwave ovens in 1976. Would you like to know why? And oh by the way do you know who invented the microwave; the Nazis. That should tell you something.
In a paper titled "Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking", natural health physician Dr. Joseph Mercola has stated:
"Recent research shows that microwave oven cooked food suffers severe molecular damage. When eaten, it causes abnormal changes in human blood and immune systems. Not surprisingly the public has been denied details on these significant health dangers " (http://www.mercola.com/)
Dr Mercola is basing his comments on a ton of research which is available to all of us. I will present just a few tidbits of research in this article.
The first scientist to conceive and carry out a quality clinical study on the effects microwaved nutrients have on the blood and physiology of the human body was a Swiss scientist by the name of Dr. Hans Ulrich Hertel. His study stated, "Food cooked or defrosted in a microwave oven causes changes in the blood indicative of a developing pathological process as is also found in a carcinoma [cancer]." In a swift answer to his study an industry trade organization went to court and had Dr Hertel gagged! The gag order was reversed in 1998.
In the December 1989 issue of the medical journal, Lancet, Dr Lita Lee noted microwaved milk or baby formula not only depletes the vitamin content but converts certain amino acids (the constituents of protein) into relatedsubstances that are biologically inactive.
Researchers at the Stanford University Medical Center stated in the April 1992 Journal of Pediatrics the changes in human breast milk which was microwaved just enough to warm it, included the destruction of 98% of its immunogloban-A antibodies and 96% of its liposome activity (which inhibits bacterial infections).
The problem with microwaving is two-fold, health is impacted by the changes in the food caused by microwaving and also by how the body deals with these altered foods. Microwaved foods are not only deficient in vitamins and essential minerals; cancer causing agents are created when food is microwaved.
The nutrients in our foods already gets decreased by our use of green harvesting and the lack of nutrients in our soil. It's sheer insanity to further deplete the nutrients in our food by microwaving it. With all the hits our bodies take from environmental toxins it is imperative we safeguard our nutrition in every way we can.
Convenience doesn't look so good now does it? As always natural whole unprocessed foods and non-irradiating cooking methods are the healthiest! Bon Appetit!
Kopp, William. "Microwave Madness: The Effects ofMicrowave Apparatus on Food and Humans" in Perceptions, May/June 1996

Although I am shy I decided that I was going to talk to him. I wasn't going NOT try like I usually do. We went from awkward hellos to friendly conversation and playful banter in a matter of days really. I truly do believe that he was interested by the way he would look at me and how receptive he was to our conversations.
He told me he was leaving and that hit me like a ton of bricks because I really felt a connection. I told him I would miss him and he insisted that he would see me around and he would be back to visit. I wanted to ask him was that enough for him or ask him out or for contacts but I couldn't work up the nerve. And he did nothing.
Did I drop the ball or did he? Why didn't he ask me out? I thought I dropped plenty of hints. What is going on with the guy brain? I miss him and I barely know him. :/
Most Helpful Guy
The problem is that you're "dropping hints". Why not just ask him out? He's probably just shy.
Situations like these is exactly why you should not just give hints. You're only frustrating yourself, and the guy is not psychic. Grow some ovaries and ask him out, stop sitting by the sidelines.0
Sorry for the outburst, but your question practically answers itself. You haven't made it clear that you like him, and then you wonder why he doesn't know that you like him. Next time, just ask him out. Nothing wrong with a girl doing that. You'd save yourself and the guy a headache.
- Show AllShow Less
It's okay. You are right. But I've grown one ovary because I would have never initiated contact with him a year ago. Which im not so sure he would have if I didn't. He also became more open and less shy as we talked. . So I'm doing better. Apparently I should have asked the question in the time I had. Because telling someone you'll miss them isn't the same for liking them.
I thought that was clear but a lot of people have confirmed for me that this isn't the case.
I thought that IF I see him when he comes back to the school , I would ask for his social media contacts. That isn't too forward and a lot of people are more comfortable that way.
I thought I'd give him my number as well and he can do what he wants with it.
That's nice of you to say. I've heard from so many people that it was my fault, his fault or both our faults. I know he liked me and I thought it was obvious thst I liked him.
I've come to the realization that I don't want to just let life happen and want to control what happens and go after what I want. And I was. It's just I'm still shy and I needed a bit more time. I was doing good. I would have never talked to him a year ago. He reminds me of me a few years ago. I've never been the more assertive one and I turned out to be.
I don't mean to give hints but I thought texting or talking on social media would help us both since we aren't so good at it face to face. It's so frustrating because he gets a bit quiet or cautious around me but he is so outgoing with everyone else. I wish he was like that with ne. I suppose I am that way with him as well.
I've missed a few questions as well. Looking back he tried to chat with me after work and I missed it too.
We suck at this.

Inquiries about student financial aid regarding the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009
(Federal Stimulus Package) should be directed to the institution of choice or to the student financial
aid officer at the institution of choice. All requirements for eligibility for the federal work-study
program remain the same.
American Opportunity Credit
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), more parents and students will qualify over the next two years
for a tax credit, the American Opportunity Credit, to pay for college expenses.
The new credit modifies the existing Hope Credit for tax years 2009 and 2010, making the Hope Credit available to a
broader range of taxpayers, including many with higher incomes and those who owe no tax.
It also adds required course materials to the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for
four post-secondary education years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maximum annual
credit of $2,500 per student, an increase of $700 over the Hope Credit's maximum.
If the amount of the American Opportunity Tax Credit for which you're eligible is more than your tax liability, the
excess credit is refundable to you, up to a maximum of 40 percent ($1,000) of the amount of the credit for which
you're eligible.
The full credit is available to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less, or $160,000 or
less for married couples filing a joint return. The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above these
levels. These income limits are higher than under the existing Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits.
Also new: Qualified, nontaxable distributions from a Section 529 plan during 2009 or 2010 can now be used to pay the
cost of any computer technology or equipment or Internet access and related services, if such technology,
equipment or services are to be used by the beneficiary of the plan and the beneficiary's family during any of the
years the beneficiary is enrolled at an eligible educational institution.

A toothpick may have been used for many imaginative purposes, yet none matched the innovative creation of Terry Woodling. Terry Woodling, a 72 year old artist from Warsaw in Indiana, dedicated fifteen years of his life towards his vision-'A life sized stagecoach made with toothpicks'. Using his creative eye, skillful hands and patience, he managed to glue together 1.5 million flat toothpicks into a colorful, eye catching and attractive stage coach. This impossible feat attracted attention of people from faraway places. Yet sadly it did not qualify for the Guinness book of world records.
The reason behind the rejection was the use of glue in the process of making the stagecoach. Mr. Terry Woodling, also referred to as Mr. Toothpick, was undaunted by this failure and graciously donated his creation to the local Warsaw museum. Later on it was recognized by the Ripley's Believe-it-or-not hall of fame. At the first glance, people can hardly guess that this colorful stagecoach is made from mere toothpicks. It is an exquisite piece of handiwork with extreme detailed work. The entire stagecoach and its wheels are designed as per the Victorian era depicting a time before the automobile invasion, when stagecoaches pulled by horses were the only means of transport.

Connection Exerciser demo on YouTube
I did a quick video demo of the MCCI USB Connection Exerciser — well, not so quick, it's 6 minutes long. Just about enough time for a cup of coffee. (For more info, go to the MCCI USB Connection Exerciser page on our website.)
A few things I left out (or which at least could be more clear):
- The support software allows you to connect many Connection Exercisers to a single test host. Recently we've been selling the Connection Exerciser in lots of 8 or 9 at a time, for test use.
- The Connection Exerciser is great for low speed, full speed, high speed, and super speed devices.
- It's not just for testing drivers. Firmware also gets stressed by repeated enumerations, especially enumerations at various speeds.
- If you pop the lid off, there are a number of jumpers that allow you to do additional hacking.
- Source code for the firmware is available under NDA.
OK — so what did we leave out?

As devourers of pop culture, we're quick to categorize our entertainment for our own safety. Comedy, drama, thriller, sci-fi, horroreverything we have the chance to consume has a label to ensure that we know exactly what we're getting.
Occasionally, a movie defies classification. While not a revolutionary piece of cinema, 50/50 is especially gratifying simply because of its abandonment of genre and the baggage that comes with owning one. The movie starts with a simple inciting incident: one day, 27-year-old Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) learns that he has a life-threatening tumor growing on his spine. Of course, the news doesn't sit well with the public radio producer, who's in the middle of work on an exciting piece for his station, just adjusting to living with his girlfriend Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard) and sees his life as a lengthy, exciting prospect. Adam never smokes, he waits to cross the street, he always tucks his shirts in and keeps his sweater vests tidywhat did he do to deserve this?
But Adam doesn't go on a quest to find his true self or spend days writing a bucket list. He lives his lifeand its friends and family who feel the tremors of his disease. Rachael quickly finds herself off balance and unable to cope with Adam's situation, while his mother, Diane (Anjelica Huston), tries to coddle him, finding a new opportunity she never found with her Alzheimer's-stricken husband. His co-workers throw him a guilt-induced party.
At a total loss, Adam finds comfort in his pal Kyle (Seth Rogen, essentially playing himself), who uplifts his spirits through dedication, marijuana and loose women. Nothing seems to out-weigh the punch-in-the-gut feeling of losing his hair to chemotherapy or barely being able to walk around his house without feeling winded, but Adam stays afloat thanks to Kyle's incessant goofiness and a newfound friendship in his therapist Katherine (Anna Kendrick). Equally out of water in her new job, the two bond over their discovery of humanism in the scientific process of beating cancer and, while the growth of their relationship is one of the few things in the film that feels remotely contrived, it gives Adam hope in the face of his possibly-fatal surgery.
50/50 isn't sugar sweet, nor is it stone cold serious. Director Jonathan Levine allows the events to unfold in a unique and reserved realism, allowing the movie to bounce from laugh-out-loud funny (thanks in a large part to Rogen's star talent in a supporting role) to tearjerker drama without any broad segues. Gordon-Levitt has established himself as one of modern cinema's best watchers, the type of actor who can float through a picture without making too much a ruckus, but who's identifiable and helps us understand his surroundings. But he fits right in to the Apatow-style comedy Rogen and Levine conjure up throughout the movie. In one scene, Adam chows down on some pot brownies courtesy of his elderly chemo-mates (Philip Baker Hall and Matt Frewer), leading him to groove around the hospital hall, spaced out and loving it. It's an uproarious moment, but poignant toofinally, Adam can let go of a bit of his grief.
Providing a foundation for 50/50's minimalist tactics are the supporting cast. Howard once again proves her versatility, turning an unsympathetic character into a dimensionalized presence. What Rachael does in the film isn't admirable, but thanks to Howard's performance, not entirely unreasonable. Huston and Kendrick are strong and grounded enough that, when Adam begins to check out of life as surgery looms, they don't disappear from the film. But it's Rogen who really steals the show, perhaps because his friend and 50/50 writer Will Reiser based the movie on their real life experiences, but the comedy-first actor steps up later in the film when the weight of reality starts to bring everyone down.
50/50 isn't a comedy or a drama, but a portrait of real people surviving real hardships. Shedding a few tears over the course of the film is perfectly acceptablethe jokes are that funny and the emotion that powerful.
Hollywood.com rated this film 4 stars.

Talk about your battles between man and machine.
Or, should we phrase that in the form of a question? The game show "Jeopardy!" will feature a game between two of its most successful contestants — Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter — and a computer named "Watson." The computer was designed by IBM's artificial intelligence team. The matches will be spread over three days — with the shows airing February 14-15. This isn't the first time computers have taken on humans — as anyone who has played Scrabble or some other game against a computer game knows. But Jeopardy! requires contestants to deal with subtleties, puns and riddles — and come up with answers fast — so it's expected to be more of a challenge for the computer. Watson has already played about 50 test games against past Jeopardy! champs. But neither the show nor the computer maker would say how the computer did.

Amaravati is a well-known pilgrimage center of Andhra Pradesh in south India. It is situated in Sattenapalli Taluk of Guntur District and is famous as the seat of a temple to Lord Shiva or Amareswara and also for its world famous Buddhist sculptures. The architecture of this South Indian pilgrimage tours destination is designed in the Dravidian style.'Amareswaram' is considered sacred because of three things, the Krishna River, an important region with 'Sthalamahatyam' and the Sri Mahalinga Murthy, which are three sacred principles embodied in one.Amaravati is also known as 'Punyakshetra'. Here, one can find five different forms of Lord Shiva. These lingams are called 'Pranaveswara', 'Agasteswara', 'Kosaleswara', 'Someswara' and 'Parthiveswara'. Both 'Lord Amareswara' and his spouse 'Bala Chamundika' are worshiped here, along with other deities of the temple. The temple's origin is a subject of curiosity among many people. There are various beliefs related to it, some Puranic and some historical. Thus, the temple tour attracts innumerable tourists with its purity and might.
The elevated Amreshwara Temple is situated on the holy Krishna river. According to one of the legend, even a flood in the river Krishna won't affect the temple, instead it will turn its flow to some other side. Therefore, one can see the river Krishna diverted from north to south at this place. Temples are usually built on these short turns of the river, as they are regarded sacred.
Another legend tells us that the temple was earlier a Buddhist shrine but later a Hindu temple was built here. This contradiction is the root of a controversy, as the foundations of the temple are laid with the typical Buddhist slabs only.
The main festivals in the temple are the Maha Shivaratri, which comes in the 'Magha Bahula Dasami' and the Navaratri and the 'Kalyana Utsavas'.
Getting there and Around
By Air – The nearest airport is Vijayawada (82 km).
By Rail – The nearest railheads are Guntur and Vijayawada. A good network of connect Guntur to Amaravati.
By Road – Amaravati is situated 20 miles northwest of Guntur and is connected by a good motorable road

It would be great to have a portable device i can carry around to give me an indication of "hot zones"
The most portable devices that I've seen have been the NukAlert and RadDetect keychains (both are "authorized by DHS ODP"), but you could probably find something a little larger, and costing a bit less, if you're on a budget.

Activated Charcoal Medicinal Tips
Activated charcoal is an extremely effective remedy for nearly all poisonings ......Tylenol, Aspirin, barbiturates, chemicals, etc.. Since Charcoal binds nutrients very poorly, an iron tablet overdose will be little helped by it. Strong acid or alkali substances are also best treated by neutralizing the substance with something of the opposite ph. Common household substances would be Vinegar, which is acid, for an alkali poisoning such as lye; or Baking Soda, which is alkali, for an acid poisoning such as a hydrochloric acid poisoning. Though such poisonings are rare, when they occur, it is a great comfort to have the cure at once on hand, and the knowledge of how to administer it, without dependence on a derelict and self-serving medical community.
In addition to the wipes I have purchased Activated Charcoal. I intend to take it orally (capsule form) and also wash my body with it (granule form) followed by a lime oil and lotion mixture.

(Grand Prairie, TX) With negotiations facilitated by Bill Bledsoe of Henry S. Miller, a local developer plans retail pad sites and commercial development. Construction is already underway for service roads along the north and south of Interstate 30W (Tom Landry Freeway) in Grand Prairie at Belt Line Road. "We believe with construction of the new service roads comes opportunity for retail pad site and commercial development along the busy I-30W corridor that connects Dallas and Arlington," said Purchaser Dr. Abdul Khan.
The approximately 12.9 acre site is adjacent to the existing Grand Prairie Ford. Development plans outline additional cross access through the site that will eventually connect the interior development to Palace Parkway, which runs parallel to I-30W, and along the northern border of the property. Within less than 1.5 miles of the site are multiple destination venues such as the 6,000 seat Verizon Theatre, and Lone Star Park Horse Racing and Entertainment destination.
Bill Bledsoe with Henry S. Miller brokered the sale.

September 09, 2009 06:04 ET
CLEVELAND, OH--(Marketwire - September 9, 2009) - LTS Scale Company, LLC introduces the LTS
Dimension XYZ©, the first fork truck mounted dimensional weighing system. With
prices in the mid-teens, the LTS
Dimension XYZ© promises to do for dimensioning what the LTS Lift
Truck Scale did for weighing of palletized product.
It is now possible for an LTL shipper to cost-effectively capture the
dimensions (volume measurements) of
every pallet they handle. By integrating this device into an established
reweigh program an LTL carrier can bill its customer based on the weight of
the pallet or the volume that the product occupies in his trailer and
capture the lost revenue created by misclassification, wasted space and
low-density product.
The LTS Dimension XYZ© captures the dimensions in a matter of a few
seconds, making it possible to cube
and weigh every pallet handled by the carrier without interrupting the work
flow on busy docks. Large stationary dimensioning units require the fork
truck driver to lose a great deal of time bringing the pallet to a central
location, putting it down and waiting for the system to generate an answer.
These stationary systems are too time-consuming to be a cost-effective
platform for a comprehensive dimensioning program. The LTS Dimension XYZ©
fork truck mounted dimensioning device eliminates that wasted time and
motion, making cargo dimensioning and density-based billing practical for
every pallet handled by air freight or LTL carriers.
The information can be transmitted via 802.11 or 802.15 wireless networks
to the carriers' billing system ensuring that the correct invoice is sent
out the first time. The system supports peripherals such as barcode
scanners, Bluetooth communication, printers and fork truck mounted scales.
Its 10.5" full color touch screen provides an excellent platform for
cross-docking software and custom applications developed by
in-house IT departments.
The system is based on an Intel Core i7 920 64 bit microprocessor with 12GB
of RAM, which supports 8 processing threads. A 32GB solid state hard drive
is ideally suited for the vibration-intensive environment of fork trucks
and provides the storage for the dimensioning software with room to spare
for other applications, such as warehouse management and
cross-docking applications. Its expansion is supported by multiple USB
ports, Serial ports and PCIexpress bus.

scales for over 40 years. WWW.LTSScale.com; firstname.lastname@example.com

This year, the new Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin might just prove to be the best hired help a farmer can find. For working on the back forty, or moving equipment around the homestead, the Sportsman 700 Twin is the most powerful, smoothest riding ATV for any job.
Polaris designed its latest automatic transmission all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with farmers and ranchers in mind. The most powerful four-wheeler on the market, the Sportsman 700 Twin was named ATV Magazine's ATV of the Year for 2002. It is capable of performing the toughest work for an extended period of time. For fence work, assorted fieldwork, transporting equipment or just quickly and efficiently getting from here to there, the Sportsman 700 Twin is the best all-terrain vehicle on the market.
With 20 percent more horsepower than the Sportsman 500 H.O., and an industry-leading towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, the Sportsman 700 Twin can handle most any farm chore. Its 683cc liquid-cooled, four-valve, four-stroke engine is the biggest power plant ever lowered in an ATV, making it a powerful tool for any number of tasks — from hauling feed to clearing brush, surveying fields to moving hay.
Amazingly, this Sportsman's engine power and strength are not its only impressive features. Long travel suspension, high ground clearance and a tight, 76 inch turning radius are ideal features for fieldwork and getting over rough terrain. Each attribute combines to make the Sportsman 700 Twin the smoothest riding 4×4 on the market.
Every farmer knows Mother Nature can make or break a day. Fortunately, the Sportsman 700 Twin has the ability to deal with a variety of weather conditions and seasons.
With exclusive On-Demand true four-wheel drive and the industry's leading and most proven independent rear suspension, this quad keeps all four wheels on the ground and engaged for maximum traction through any forecast. And with the world's best-selling proven Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT), including a lifetime limited belt warranty, the Sportsman 700 Twin is backed by a history of Sportsman durability, quality production and innovation.
The Sportsman 700 Twin runs on tough, durable 25-inch Polaris-exclusive Goodyear Rawhide tires with deep lugs and thick sidewalls for outstanding traction on any terrain. It also comes standard with a speedometer, odometer, hourometer, high- and low-beam headlights, temperature lights, front and rear racks, electric start, and new in-line shifting for high- and low-gears, reverse and park.
An extensive line of Pure Polaris accessories is another reason the Sportsman 700 Twin makes an ideal farming companion. Sprayers, disc attachments, diggers, levelers, cultivators and GPS units can save valuable time and make a long day in the field a little easier.
Beyond the farm, the 700 Twin has countless uses around the yard. Attachable mowers make cutting the grass a breeze, and a variety of snow blades make easy work of clearing out a driveway. Polaris also offers wagons and dump carts for carrying mulch or firewood and seeders and spreaders to plant grass or a garden. For pure recreation, the 700 Twin can take trail riders deep into the woods, launch a boat on the lake, or tow an ice fishing house for the angler who can't wait until summer.
"There isn't much the Sportsman 700 Twin can't do," said Bennett Morgan, General Manager, Polaris ATV Division. "We are excited about our newest ATV, but we're even more excited about how it can make work easier for everyone in the agriculture industry. Polaris products have a history of catering to hard-working people, and the Sportsman 700 Twin is no exception. It truly represents the next generation of ATVs"
Information about the complete line of Polaris products is available from authorized Polaris dealers or from the Polaris homepage at www.polarisindustries.com.
