Afghan 11th Anniversary demo on Oct. 7th, 2012. A beautiful sunny day in front of the old Florida Capitol. All in all a decent sized showing, as far as these things have gone the past several years. Old friends met again and some new faces joined in as well.
Surprise of the day was a spirited environmental protest march and rally of about 100 or so young activists that converged on the steps of the Capitol organized by the Energy Action Coalition and the Southern Energy Network with the help of the FAMU Green Coalition.
They had marched from the Southeast Student Renewable Energy Conference (SSREC) on FAMU's campus.

WikiLeaks and Free Speech
WE have spent our careers as filmmakers making the case that the news media in the United States often fail to inform Americans about the uglier actions of our own government. We therefore have been deeply grateful for the accomplishments of WikiLeaks, and applaud Ecuador's decision to grant diplomatic asylum to its founder, Julian Assange, who is now living in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
Ecuador has acted in accordance with important principles of international human rights. Indeed, nothing could demonstrate the appropriateness of Ecuador's action more than the British government's threat to violate a sacrosanct principle of diplomatic relations and invade the embassy to arrest Mr. Assange.
Since WikiLeaks' founding, it has revealed the "Collateral Murder" footage that shows the seemingly indiscriminate killing of Baghdad civilians by a United States Apache attack helicopter; further fine-grained detail about the true face of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; United States collusion with Yemen's dictatorship to conceal our responsibility for bombing strikes there; the Obama administration's pressure on other nations not to prosecute Bush-era officials for torture; and much more...

The Obama administration has torpedoed the arms trade treaty
Though nothing in the UN treaty would impact on its domestic gun laws, the US is the world's largest weapons exporter
What is more heavily regulated, global trade of bananas or battleships? In late June, activists gathered in New York's Times Square to make the absurd point that, unbelievably, "there are more rules governing your ability to trade a banana from one country to the next than governing your ability to trade an AK-47 or a military helicopter". So said Amnesty International USA's Suzanne Nossel at the protest, just before the start of the UN conference on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which ran from 2 July to 27 July. Thanks to a last-minute declaration by the United States that it "needed more time" to review the short, 11-page treaty text, the conference ended last week in failure.
There isn't much that could be considered controversial in the treaty. Signatory governments agree not to export weapons to countries that are under an arms embargo, or to export weapons that would facilitate "the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes" or other violations of international humanitarian law. Exports of arms are banned if they will facilitate "gender-based violence or violence against children" or be used for "transnational organised crime". Why does the US need more time than the more than 90 other countries that had sufficient time to read and approve the text? The answer lies in the power of the gun lobby, the arms industry and the apparent inability of Barack Obama to do the right thing, especially if it contradicts a cold, political calculation.

a speech at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland...
Down the road only a few generations, the millennium of Magna Carta, one of the great events in the establishment of civil and human rights, will arrive. Whether it will be celebrated, mourned, or ignored is not at all clear.
That should be a matter of serious immediate concern. What we do right now, or fail to do, will determine what kind of world will greet that event. It is not an attractive prospect if present tendencies persist -- not least, because the Great Charter is being shredded before our eyes.
The first scholarly edition of Magna Carta was published by the eminent jurist William Blackstone. It was not an easy task. There was no good text available. As he wrote, "the body of the charter has been unfortunately gnawn by rats" -- a comment that carries grim symbolism today, as we take up the task the rats left unfinished...

Eight Years of War: What WikiLeaks Has Revealed on the US Occupation of Iraq
This date, March 19, 2011, marks the beginning of the ninth year of the US war in Iraq. The war, which began in 2003 with a bombing campaign of "shock and awe," has for years been more of an occupation than a war. Despite the fact that many believe the war is over (especially Americans), the US still has 47,000 troops in Iraq and, despite a 2011 withdrawal date, will likely continue to have tens of thousands of soldiers based in Iraq for years to come.
The past year has seen the world learn a great deal about the US war and occupation of Iraq. With the WikiLeaks release of US State Cables, the Iraq War Logs, and a "Collateral Murder" video showing US soldiers firing on journalists and innocent civilians from an Apache helicopter, the criminal nature of the war and occupation has become more evident. To mark the end of eight years of US troops in Iraq and the beginning of a ninth year, it is worth noting the many revelations on Iraq that have become known thanks to WikiLeaks.
On October 22, 2010, 390,000 field reports, which became known as the Iraq War Logs, showed the regular use of abuse, brutality and torture used on Iraqis by Iraqi Police and Iraqi Security Forces. The logs revealed, despite US claims, a tracking of civilian deaths had been going on, and, in fact, 66,000 civilian deaths (15,000 which were previously unknown) had occurred.

What the TSA Patdown Searches Are Really About
You can hardly watch a TV news show, listen to a radio broadcast, pick up a newspaper, or read the Internet without hearing about the aggressive Transportation Security Agency patdown searches at airports.
The TSA and all relevant officials tell us that they're really for our own protection. But are they? In truth, the searches have virtually nothing to do with increased airport security.
Several years ago, my four year-old daughter was pulled aside in one such screening because she happened to be the Nth person in the line to go through security. Though she was traveling with me, her mother, and sister, she was subjected to 40 minutes of terrifying interrogations and inspections of all her personal effects, though not a bodily patdown.
The startling part of it was the mindlessness of it all. The guards were simply being good Nazis. Today, it is no longer mindless. It is part of a sustained campaign to condition the American public to being humiliated by government officials in the name of national security.
Physical humiliation of the subject is the first act that an interrogator performs on a victim. You can see this in the pictures from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The prisoners were made to perform all manner of humiliating acts: wear women's underwear on their heads; masturbate in front of female guards; pile onto one another naked; submit to rape by their guards; etc...

Pentagon blows up thousands of homes in Afghanistan
Repeating the horrors of the Vietnam War
Borrowing a page from its infamous "pacification" effort in South Vietnam, where peasant villages were napalmed and burned to the ground to "save them from the communists," the Obama-ordered surge in Afghanistan has been secretly blowing up thousands of homes and leveling portions of the Afghan countryside.
As tens of thousands of U.S. troops have surged into southern Afghanistan, villagers have fled. Then the Petraeus-led occupation forces have determined which homes will be destroyed.
"In Arghandab District, for instance, every one of the 40 homes in the village of Khosrow was flattened by a salvo of 25 missiles, according to the district governor, Shah Muhammed Ahmadi, who estimated that 120 to 130 houses had been demolished in his district," reported the New York Times, Nov. 16, 2010.
The Pentagon asserts that they must destroy the homes because some of them may have explosive devices inside.
The Pentagon's murderous rampage and terror campaign 40 years ago against South Vietnamese villages, in areas that were considered sympathetic to the resistance forces, used much of the same kind of explanation. In fact, the New York Times in a throw back to Vietnam quotes the Arghandab District Governor, who is working with the occupation forces: "We had to destroy them to make them safe."...

Revelations of Extreme 'Slave-Like' Working Conditions and Billions in Wage Theft Drive Nationwide Protests
Activists in more than 30 cities, organized by Interfaith Worker Justice and backed by labor groups, are staging a National Day of Action Against Wage Theft on November 18. "As the crisis for working families in the economy has deepened, so too has the crisis of wage theft," says Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ) Executive Director Kim Bobo, perhaps the country's leading reformer addressing the ongoing scandal.
As much as $19 billion is stolen from American workers annually in unpaid overtime and minimum wage violations and, in some cases, through the human trafficking of legal immigrant workers. The latest case to come to light involves alleged horrendous conditions for immigrant workers reportedly hoodwinked in Mexico by a food services contractor for the New York State Fair and kept in near-slavery conditions of $2 an hour.
Indeed, the scandal surfaced when some of these legal guest workers showed up several weeks ago at a Syracuse area clinic, severely dehydrated and malnourished after allegedly being kept in virtual imprisonment in a trailer at the fair and at other locations; they were reportedly being denied thousands of dollars in legal wages owed them while working about 100 hours a week at fairs for months, according to legal filings and Danny Postel, communications coordinator for Interfaith Worker Justice.
"It's one of the most shocking cases of wage theft," Postel says...

What case, you might ask? There is in fact no criminal or civil case against the former president or vice president for these actions. And both men no doubt felt comfortable admitting they had authorized what the world recognizes as torture because they believe they are politically immune from being held accountable. Even before the midterm elections, Barack Obama had insisted that he wanted only to look forward, not backward. With a strengthened Republican Party after the elections, it is even less likely that Bush or Cheney will be held accountable by the Obama administration. On November 9 the Justice Department announced that no criminal charges would be brought against the CIA agents who destroyed videotapes of the torture interrogations; that part of the cover-up, it seems, has succeeded...

No charges for CIA tape destruction: Justice Dept
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - No CIA personnel will face criminal charges for destroying videotapes of harsh interrogations of terrorism suspects, the U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday.
While the decision will spare the CIA and the Obama administration the potential backlash and embarrassment that a trial could have generated, another federal probe continues into possible abuse of detainees by CIA personnel.
The videotapes probe was launched in January 2008 by then-U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey after revelations that the CIA in 2005 had destroyed hundreds of hours of videotapes of the interrogations of terrorism suspects Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.
Zubaydah was one of three terrorism suspects who was subjected to waterboarding, a procedure in which the person experiences simulated drowning. It was believed that the tapes included footage of the waterboarding...

We get an update on the fallout from the FBI raids in late September that targeted antiwar activists in Minneapolis and Chicago. Subpoenas to appear before a grand jury were served on thirteen people but later withdrawn when the activists asserted their right to remain silent. But this week, the US Department of Justice said it intends to enforce the subpoenas for some of them and require them to appear before a grand jury.

My marriage is not normal. First off, my wife and I are happy together, which numbers would suggest only half of married couples are. We have been together for twelve years, which I like to remind my wife is more than a third of our lives (you can do the math as to how old we are, roughly).
Beyond that, my wife is not normal. She loves video games. (It's always fun when guys are simultaneously confused and infatuated by her walking with her PSP or putzing around the local GameStop.) She absolutely loves football. Not only has she won our fantasy football league three years running, but for our anniversary she suggested we get DIRECTVs Sunday Ticket as a present. The best way to sum up my wife would be with a T-shirt I bought her for her birthday a couple years ago. It reads, "If I had balls they would be bigger than yours."
For all of this, however, she is an absolute lady. She cries when she's frustrated, loves to snuggle, and is the queen of chick lit and chick flicks. She loves when I do the small chivalrous things that have slowly disappeared from society (holding doors, positioning myself on the lower portion of the stairs in order to catch her if she falls, placing my hand on the small of her back so she knows I'm with her when navigating crowded spaces).
The biggest way we are an abnormal couple, however, lies in the times that I can be of no protection at all. My wife works in law enforcement.
The first thing you have to understand is, when I say "law enforcement," I mean it in a capacity in which I cannot use her real name or say specifically within what agency or capacity she functions. There are days, in fact, when I honestly have no clue what she does.
Most any law-enforcement spouse will tell you that the biggest adjustment is acknowledging the dangers of the profession -- then immediately forgetting them in order to maintain both of your sanities. Seldom spoken of, however, are the plights and fears of a man married to a woman in law enforcement.
The role of a law-enforcement husband is an interesting one. I am no longer the protector or guard of the family. My white-knight myths of saving my wife from peril left me when she brought home her gun and badge. I am no longer the warrior men envision themselves to be; instead, I am the nurturer. I am the normalizer and the decompressor. I'm the hours spent pretending that there are no bad men, no guns, no drugs and no death. I listen to the work stories, take her memories, and throw them in the closet until it's time to dredge them out the next day.
In the meantime, I play the "what if" games. What do I do if she gets hurt? What do I do if she has to hurt somebody? What do I do if she doesn't come home at all? In my mind, I have tended my wife's wounds, both physical and psychic. I have eulogized my wife and raised our yet-to-be-born child. As morbid as it sounds, it's a cathartic exercise (for me, anyway).
I will never forget being vetted by another agency before my wife attained her current role. I sat in a small office as the man on the other side of the desk said to me, "She at some point is going to come home with horror stories. She eventually will not be the woman you married, and you have to be ready for that." He then proceeded to tell me a story, which I pray was meant to scare me, of a child he had to remove from a microwave.
The day-to-day nuisances become reliefs. I take the phone calls that I might otherwise ignore because I'm either busy or just because I hate phones. I chitchat despite my aversion to idle phone conversation because I'm grateful that it's not a superior calling me in the dead of night with bad news. I help her bring up her gear at the end of the night and laugh to myself as she tells me her bags are too heavy. (I have seen her bench as much as the average man and do pull-ups as her recovery.)
There is probably something emasculating about having a wife who makes a living in such a "manly" space. I joke at times about being the "little man" who sits on the couch waiting for the relief of safe arrivals. In a walkup building with eight families, I know the cadence of her footsteps on the stairs like I know the shade of her almond-brown eyes.
As I write this, she's out on a night operation, her team (whose diligence and expertise I rely on daily) by her side, chasing bad guys who do dangerous things for high -- and not-so-high -- stakes. I will stay awake until I get an all-clear message from her. I'll sleep on the couch till she walks through the door. We won't say much; we probably won't even hug because I know she'll be too exhausted to bother, and that's fine. Her weight on the other side of the bed is all I need.
We live in a violent country. There have been more gun-related deaths in Chicago this month than soldiers lost in Afghanistan. NYC Mayor Bloomberg is fighting to stop the flow of guns from Southern states as hard as he is trying to stop the flow of 20-ounce sodas off bodega shelves. The Trayvon Martin case is gearing up for trial as protests abound over New York City's stop-and-frisk policy. In the middle of it all is a little lady whom I am blessed to call my wife, fighting alongside thousands upon thousands of dedicated professionals who try to instill safety in an unsafe world -- and thousands upon thousands of spouses who pray for that weight on the other side of the bed.

July 26, 2012 — Any exposure to radiation, no matter how small, has the potential of leading to future health issues, including many types of cancer, medical experts agree. Doing all you can to limit your lifetime radiation exposure should be a priority for patients and health care providers.
"The amount of radiation anyone is exposed to for medical procedures should be controlled as much as possible," said Mansour Razminia, MD, cardiac electrophysiologist at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Chicago. "In electrophysiology procedures, many patients are exposed to X-ray radiation for several minutes up to two to three hours. While radiation exposure is closely monitored, we constantly look for ways to minimize it. Many people have multiple medical procedures that include radiation, accumulating exposure over their lifetime."
To reduce the amount of fluoroscopy, or X-ray radiation, Razminia and his team of nurses and technicians worked with other imaging tools, such as 3-D mapping and ultrasound, to develop a new standard for radiation-free electrophysiology procedures in adult population offered for the first time in Chicago at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. These complex electrophysiology procedures, such as cardiac ablation, physically correct electric impulses in the heart. To be as minimally invasive as possible, physicians use imaging software to guide their instruments through the body directly to the heart.

ALT | Altered States
With her psyche torn and tattered by her unfaithful, inattentive spouse and unruly brood, Jill's (writer-director Marianna Palka) repressed fury is unleashed, leaving the suburban housewife in a fugue state that sees her conducting herself like a vicious junkyard dog hopped up on amphetamines. As she claims the basement as her territory (and marks it accordingly), her husband Bill (Jason Ritter, wonderfully hapless) is left with no other choice than to tentatively step up and clumsily embrace domestic responsibilities.
Rightfully hailed as "a hilarious and vicious bite at the patriarchy" (Screen Anarchy), Palka's Bitch is a feral satire that's equally bold in its writing, direction and performance as it sinks its teeth into the subject of contemporary gender politics.
"[A] ferocious feminist satire… The wacky drama is aided in large part by Morgan z Whirledge's chaotic score, which erupts with discordant melodies… that convey the sheer chaos of a stable world facing its reckoning… A fierce portrait of unwieldy comeuppance, it's both hilarious and terrifying to watch… By its end, Bitch focuses as much on what it means to wake up to the frustrations of an American dream coming to pieces as it is a fierce indictment of them."—Eric Kohn, IndieWire
If A Woman Under the Influence and Mr. Mom had a baby, it would be Bitch."—Elijah Wood
Preceded By: Manivald
Director: Chintis Lundgren / Canada/Croatia/Estonia, 2017, 13 min.
A bizarre love triangle develops between a 33-year-old fox, his hot-to-trot mother and the burly wolf repairman who comes to fix their washing machine.

Control of Tendering Procedure
The first and most crucial step in a logistics outsourcing is always the process recording – ideally a detailed process analysis. The objective is to gather reliable data to permit the creation of a detailed and sophisticated tender document, which allows the definition of the precise scope of the outsourcing. Further, a detailed cost accounting and a detailed assessment of opportunities and risks should be completed. A process analysis allows the evaluation of two variants: the optimized self-operating alternative or the outsourcing option. The Fraunhofer IML offers the neutral evaluation of both scenarios and a competent and objective assessment.
Once a starting signal has been given for a tendering procedure, our logistics experts support issuing enterprises in the creation of tendering documents. In the phase of bid evaluation the Fraunhofer IML consults enterprises in the standardization and evaluation of received bids and recommends the most suitable supplier.

Nathan's teacher sent a note asking that he bring in some photos of things he's done over the summer. They're going to do some sort of craft or something. As I was looking over the thousands of photos I've taken, I knew I had to do a "Summer in Pictures" post. What a great way to end the month of August and bring in September and autumn.14
We really did a lot this summer. I didn't realize it until now. It's no wonder I've been cramming to get blogging done all summer!
Trips to the White Mountains…
A two week visit with Grandpa
Our new kitten, Josie, joined our family in July:
Franklin Park Zoo in Boston
We went to Maine with friends:
In August, we finally did our first yard sale…and actually made a little money.
Luke turned into a monkey overnight and has been climbing on everything ever since.
Joshua has done a very nice job of "mowing the yard."
He takes his work very seriously.
And while we didn't get our weekend away like we had hoped, Nate and I made it a priority to spend time together this summer…and it's been wonderful. I have such an amazing husband.
So there you have it – our summer in pictures for 2012.
What did you do this summer?

A coroner has criticised a hospital for a catalogue of failures which allowed a 17-year-old girl to bleed to death for 15 hours following a routine operation.
Victoria Harrison could have been saved had "windows of opportunity" not been repeatedly missed, the coroner suggested, after hearing of a catalogue of 43 errors at Kettering General Hospital in August 2012.
Just hours before she died Miss Harrison was so scared about her recovery from keyhole surgery she sent a picture of her blood-soaked T-shirt to her boyfriend.
The inquest heard how Miss Harrison – who was known as Tor – suffered internal bleeding when surgeons tore a hole in an artery while inserting a micro-camera into her stomach to treat abdominal pains.
Despite medics managing to repair the hole she lost over half-a-pint of blood and died the following day.
Miss Harrison – who was the youngest of three siblings – was due to see her big sister Sarah-Louise, 22, get married that weekend after picking out her wedding dress.
Anne Pember, Northamptonshire Coroner, was clearly moved by the case and told the family: "As a mother of two daughters, who like you are my best friends, I cannot imagine your grief and distress at the loss of your beautiful Tor. I am truly so sorry."
She was criticised the hospital for their "poor" levels of care and said she believed Miss Harrison's life could have been saved.
Describing her as a "lovely 17-year-old young girl with everything to live for", Ms Pember said: "She was admitted to Kettering General Hospital on August 14 2012 as an emergency via her GP with a possible appendicitis.
"She underwent laparoscopic surgery on the afternoon of August 15 2012 for removal of her appendix.
"During the surgical procedure her inferior epigastric artery was damaged.
"She suffered a blood loss which was recognised by the surgeon and corrected.
"There was poor handover from theatre staff, the recovery nurse and in turn to the ward staff in particular with the bleed which had occurred and had been rectified in surgery.
"There was a failure to carry out appropriate post operative observations. Tor's last written formal observations were at 8.15pm.
"There was a further failure to conduct a formal observation following the introduction of intravenous morphine.
"Had Tor's observations been monitored and at regular intervals including pulse and blood pressure it is possible that a deteriorating trend may have been recognised.
"Windows of opportunity to treat Tor were lost. Had these been acted upon the outcome may have been different.
"I believe her chances of survival would have significantly increased.
The two-day hearing in Corby, Northants, was told nurses failed to read Miss Harrison's medical notes which indicated she had suffered a large bleed during surgery.
She was not properly checked and nurses failed to take her blood pressure which would have indicated her staggering blood loss of between 200-400ml.
Gillian Joy, the recovery nurse looking after Miss Harrison told the inquest she had not been told the patient had bled during the surgery and did not read the operation notes.
Despite complaining of being in pain nurses gave her morphine until she suffered heart failure and died at 7am on August 16.
At the time, her death sparked a huge investigation by the hospital into her care.
A report by Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust found staff made 43 errors while caring for Victoria.
However, her surgeon, Shady Hosny, was later exonerated of any blame.
Speaking outside after the hearing Miss Harrison's mother Tracey Foskett, 42, paid tribute to her "wonderful" daughter and said she hoped lessons had been learned to spare others similar heartache.
She said: "Victoria was a wonderful girl loved by many and will be greatly missed.
"May Victoria's legacy go on at Kettering Hospital so no other family have to go through the heartache of losing a loved one and feel the pain we feel for the rest of our lives missing our beautiful Victoria."
Clare Culpin, Director of Nursing and Quality at Kettering General Hospital, issued an apology to the family and revealed a number of staff had been disciplined following the case.
She said: "I would like to start by saying to Victoria's parents, family, and friends, on behalf of Kettering General Hospital, we are very sorry.
"Victoria's death led to a very thorough serious incident investigation being carried out by this hospital.
"That investigation identified a number of recommendations and led to some disciplinary action.
"As a result the hospital has committed to some significant changes to practice and patient care.
"The Trust made this commitment to ensure that Victoria has a legacy at this hospital.
"Our work has included high profile internal campaigning and education around vital signs monitoring, around clinical handovers, and the use of early warning monitoring systems to identify a person whose condition is deteriorating.
"This new system of working is Victoria's legacy. We have been totally committed to learning lessons from this terrible tragedy and have worked very closely with Victoria's family.
"I would like to thank Victoria's family for allowing me that privilege."

Say this for Stevie Brown: He makes good on a promise.
The way the day began for Brown Sunday, it looked as if it might be one he'd like to forget. Instead, it turned into one he'll savor forever.
Just four minutes and 57 seconds into the Giants' 41-27 victory over the Browns, the Giants reserve safety went brain-freeze vapor-lock on a simple coverage and was responsible for a 62-yard Brandon Weeden touchdown pass to Josh Gordon that gave Cleveland a stunning 14-0 lead.
His mistake left 6-foot-3, 242-pound linebacker Chase Blackburn futilely chasing speedy Gordon in a clear mismatch. Everywhere, angry Giants fans were screaming into their TV sets: "A linebacker on a receiver? What are they thinking?''
Well, it was Brown's fault for biting on a play-action fake and not playing deep enough in his cover-two responsibility. That left Blackburn and safety Antrel Rolle making the futile chase of Gordon.
Two important things occurred at that moment. Rolle told Brown to forget the play and move on and Brown made a promise to his teammates to repay them for the gaffe.
Brown heeded the advice of Rolle and he made good on his promise.
With the Browns leading 17-10 and driving deep into Giants territory late in the first half, Brown picked off an overthrown Weeden pass to Gordon and returned it 46 yards to the Cleveland 40. Two plays later, the Giants tied the game at 17-17.
Then, on the ensuing kickoff, Brown picked up a Josh Cribbs fumble forced by Will Hill and gave the offense the ball back on the Cleveland 29. That led to another Giants touchdown and a 24-17 lead they would never relinquish.
In a head-spinning span of 69 seconds, Brown changed the game with his two turnovers.
"I owed the team after the big touchdown,'' Brown, who was starting in place of the injured Kenny Phillips, said. "It was good to go out there and make a play and give back.''
Brown called the TD he allowed "a standard cover-two and I wasn't deep enough.
"As soon as it happened, I looked at Chase and Antrel and said, 'I owe you guys one. Don't worry, I'll get you guys another one.' ''
He got them two.
"They were both huge plays,'' Rolle said.
Rolle said he had a motto playing secondary called "FIDO.''
"Forget it and drive on,'' Rolle said. "I went to Stevie [after the TD] and told him, 'Forget it and drive on.' That's how we play in the secondary. You have to have amnesia. He forgot about it and made two excellent plays for us.''Tom Coughlin had high praise for Brown because of the way he fought back from the early adversity — always an endearing trait to the Giants head coach.
"He gave up a big play, came back and got the pick (and) picked up a fumble and put us in good field position. We're starving for that kind of stuff,'' Coughlin said.
"It's never a good feeling to give up a touchdown knowing you blew your responsibility,'' Brown said. "But there were still 56 minutes to go in the game and I knew I had to bounce back and continue to play.''
He did, after all, have a promise to fulfill.

186 Jasminum nitidumCommon Names: star jasmine, angelwing jasmine, confederate jasmine, eindmill jasmine Family: Oleaceae (olive Family)
Angelwing jasmine is an evergreen or semi-evergreen vine or shrub with sweetly fragrant, snow-white, pinwheel shaped flowers to almost 2 in (5.1 cm) across. The flowers start out as purplish buds and retain some pinkish-purple on the calyx. They bloom at night from late spring and throughout the summer. The leaves are glossy, leathery, elliptic to lance-shaped. They're about 2 in (5.1 cm) long and arranged in pairs opposite each other on the stem. This is a fast-growing, twining vine, that becomes woody with age. It can grow to 20 ft (6.1 m) long but in the garden is often trimmed as a bushy shrub that gets little more than 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m) tall.
Jasminum nitidum, the angelwing jasmine is native to Papua New Guinea's Admiralty Islands in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
CultureLight: Full sun to almost full sun. Angelwing jasmine doesn't do well in shade. Moisture: Needs regular watering, especially during the growing season. Hardiness: USDA Zones 10 - 11. Angelwing jasmine is frost-tender. It can be grown with winter protection in zone 9. In Zone 8 it freezes to the ground. If mulched the vine will regrow in the Spring and flower by late summer. Propagation: Propagated from semi-hard cuttings in late spring and summer, and by layering.
Angelwing jasmine is one of the most popular landscaping shrubs in south Florida. It responds very well to heavy pruning. Use it in hedges, as a foundation plant, or as a shrubby ground cover. Angelwing jasmine is best as a rather loose, informal shrub, since it needs a lot of pruning to keep it compact. Angelwing jasmine also makes a fine container plant. Use it in a planter box on the deck or near the home entrance where its intense sweet fragrance can be appreciated. Allowed to climb, angelwing jasmine can be used to cover a fence or trellis. It has moderate salt tolerance and is adaptable to most any soil.
There are about 200 species of jasmines, all native to the Old World. Jasmine perfumes are made from the flowers of several species, including the aptly named Jasminum odoratissimum, an evergreen shrub from the Canary Islands. Jasmine tea is flavored with the flowers of Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac), which, despite its common name, is thought to have come from southeastern Asia, but has been in cultivation for so long that no one is sure where it originated.
Members of the genus Jasminum are the true jasmines, but many unrelated plants with strongly fragrant flowers are also called jasmine. Confederate jasmine, which also is called star jasmine, (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is an evergreen vine in the Apocynaceae or dogbane family. Chilean jasmine (Mandevilla laxa) also is in the dogbane family. Night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) is a nightshade (Solanaceae). South Carolina's state flower, Carolina jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens), is in the Loganiaceae.

Just a quick post to let you all know that Nfu-Oh #61 is back in stock on fabuloustreet.com! If this is a shade that you've been wanting, I'd suggest snatching it up right away because it tends to sell out really quickly.
Click here to get one.
You can see my in-depth review, swatches and wear test for this polish here and hopefully that'll help you make your decision on whether or not you want to get this yourself.
Oh and the Aqua Base is also back in stock (which is kind of sad since I've just finished by reviews of all the Nfu-Oh Holos without it) so if you're concerned about some of the application troubles, you may want to try the Aqua Base as well.
Happy Shopping!

Computer held for ransom ?
Click here for removal instructions http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/shared/ransomware.aspx
What is ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents you from using your computer or accessing your data until you pay a certain amount (the "ransom") to a remote entity. There are two types of ransomware:
- Lockscreen ransomware, which displays a full-screen image or webpage that prevents you from accessing anything in your computer, and
- Encryption ransomware, which encrypts your files with a password, preventing you from opening them
Most ransomware display a notification, saying that the authorities in your location have detected illegal activity in your computer. To avoid prosecution, and regain access to your files, ransomware demand payment from you in the form of a "fine".
Paying the "fine" does not necessarily return your computer to a usable state. We do not advise that you pay. With ransomware, the threat of prosecution does not come from the legitimate authorities.

Phish has become one of the world's greatest bands and they have done so without the aid of extensive radio play or mainstream press. They have taken the concept of jam band to a whole new level by building on the legacy of the Grateful Dead.
Superb musicians, and experts at improvisation, Phish has dabbled in just about every musical genre imaginable. Although known for their epic concerts, Phish has released over a dozen studio albums several of which have been certified gold. Two of their releases, Billy Breathes and The Story of the Ghost, peaked inside the top ten.
Phish consists of guitarist and vocalist Trey Anastasio, bass player Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman, and keyboardist Page McConnell. The band was formed in 1983. Jeff Holdsmith founded the group with Anastasio but left in 1986 to pursue a career in electrical engineering. Phish perfected their sound and their stage show, as well as attracted a huge following of fans, for years before signing with a major label in 1990.
The band broke up in August of 2004 but reformed in 2009. Since then they've released an album, toured, and hosted their eighth festival.
That eighth festival was called Festival 8 and it was held in 2009. The previous seven festivals were The Clifford Ball (1996), The Great Went (1997), Lemonwheel (1998), Camp Oswego (1999), Big Cypress (1999), It (2003), and Coventry (2004). The festivals usually lasted a couple of days and most only featured Phish. They attracted tens of thousands of fans who turned the venue and the surrounding area into a makeshift city.
The biggest festival, and the one recognized by both fans and the band as the greatest, is Big Cypress. Over 85,000 people attended the event that spanned Dec. 30 through early Jan. 1. Those in attendance saw Phish welcome in the new millennium by performing a seven -and-a-half hour set that began at midnight.
Another Phish tradition is the "musical costume," a concert which usually coincides with Halloween. For this concert Phish performs a classic album in its entirety. In the past, the band has performed The Beatles' White Album, The Who's Quadrophenia, and The Rolling Stones' Exile On Main Street.
Phish allows fans to record their live shows although official "bootleg" recordings can be purchase on their website. Nonetheless, audio recordings of their shows are highly traded on the internet. While video recordings are frowned up, the band will overlook it if the recordings are not-for-profit.
Fans of the band go by many names including phans, phamily, phiends, phriends, and Phishheads.

Ever wanted to feel like James Bond without the daily visits to the gym, eating healthy food and being chased by people who want to kill you? Well now you can, thanks to this little wireless camera that lets you monitor a location no matter where you. Well, as long as where you are you can access the Internet or have a decent mobile phone 3G signal.
Yes, that's right, you can monitor the happenings in your office, outside your front door or even in the bedroom (you dirty birdie) via live video streams complete with sound to your 3G equipped mobile phone or PDA.
But it would be quite wrong to think of this as being just another webcam, this is truly serious stuff: the camera itself is designed as a complete standalone system and as such has its own CPU and web server built-in.
A couple of years ago anything approaching this kind of technical sophistication would have been beyond the budget of all but the real Bond and lottery winners, now it's yours for under £200. Incredible, just incredible. And that money includes sophisticated IP surveillance software to enhance both monitoring and recording facilities, and enabling you set up as many as 16 of the cameras on a single screen all with motion detection to trigger automatic recording and sending of email alerts.
Want to control your camera from a web browser? No problem. Want to take snapshots from within that web browser interface? No problem. Want to see a clever playback interface with detailed timeline? No problem. Want to set the whole thing up and have it running as you require in under an hour? No problem.
The 4x digital zoom for close up viewing aids recognition, the 802.11g wireless connectivity aids positioning as you are no longer restricted by cabling. And don't worry about the cost of bandwidth or storage as there's no need to record 24/7, the motion detection kicks in and only records images when there is something to record. Unless you like watching paint dry that is, in which case knock yourself out recording nothing at all.
The DCS 2120 is small and light, measuring in at just 7.9 x 4.1 x 11.4cm and weighing only 175g meaning it is suitable for mounting pretty much anywhere. The supplied mounting kit helping you out in this regard, but the location should be indoors or at least protected from the elements as this is not a heavy duty weatherproof unit and rain will kill it we suspect. What we didn't expect was such good low light performance. The 0.5 lux light sensitivity rated lens really comes into play in even the dullest of locations. It isn't sold as a night vision camera, but as long as there is some ambient light you can darn near get away with using it as one.
Cost effective, flexible and makes you feel like James Bond. What more could you ask for in a spy camera?

Overall a good school. They've recently done a lot of construction though and added quite a few fees to students to cover the cost. Budget cuts have left a few programs lacking, but most departments are solidRead More
Overall a decent campus experience. Lots of construction currently and hard to move around. Also, administration seem very helpful and have student success in mind at all times. Very friendly caring people, especially in the financial aid department.Read More

Eastern Kentucky University, an incredible school in Richmond Kentucky, gives students an undergraduate career that they've always dreamed of. Academics are challenging yet informative. Eastern keeps up with the latest technologies and tools to ensure learning for all students. Outside of the classroom, EKU has a booming campus life, getting all students involved in clubs, honor societies, greek organizations, program specific groups, or athletics.Read More
Great education but EKU is not in a hurry to get you your diploma in a timely manner. I have been waiting for three months and no sign that anyone cares enough to make sure I receive it. I dont understand it.Read More
Eastern Kentucky University is a great college as they care about their students needs and pursued careers. EKU takes great honor in the way their classes are set up and the way students have became successful through the variety of programs that are offered. I wouldn't choose any other college for Forensic Science as EKU has a very renowned program along with many other clubs and opportunities for students to meet new people and reach their dreams.Read More
Once you find professors you click with, school becomes so much more interesting and beneficial for you.The campus is wonderful with plenty of places to enjoy sun in the summer and spring and lovely warm places for cooler weather and the library is one of the best places to study. There are always events to keep you busy and having fun.Read More
Eastern Kentucky University is a very good college. I can tell EKU focuses on their students rather than the money they gain from the students.Read More
This school is great for someone who wants to constantly worry about college stealing money from you. If you want help from your advisors you're out of luck. If you have a little money or a lot of money they will figure out a way to take it all from you.Read More
Eastern Kentucky University has made it an easy transition from high school to college for me. Offering the Danville campus has saved me money. And I didn't have to move away from home just yet, so I'm content.Read More

Is Anybody There? No EVPs herePosted: Updated:

Is Anybody There?
Star Trek, Wolverine, Ghosts of Girlfiends Past, Is Anybody There? - Movie chicks Viques Rojas and Gayle Bass review "Star Trek," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," "Ghosts of Girlfiends Past," and "Is Anybody There?"
Related links:
Every once in a while a quiet, little movie comes along that makes a big impact. Such is the case with "Is Anybody There".
The UK export doesn't boast a lot of big names but the one it does have is more than enough: Michael Caine. There is no question in my mind that I have seen the first Oscar worthy performance of 2009.
Set in a seaside village in the 1980's, "Is Anybody There" chronicles the lives of a small family struggling to make do by becoming a sort of neighborhood rest home for the elderly. Mom, Dad and their 11 year old son, Edward, provide a homey atmosphere for seniors in their sprawling home. But times are so tough that even young Edward's bedroom has been given up for the business.
With death all around him, Edward has turned his lemon into lemonade and devotes hours to trying to 'connect' with the previous tenants who have moved on. He tries to capture EVPs with his little reel to reel tape recorder, documents his failed efforts in a journal and watches all manner of ghost documentaries on the telly.
But when retired magician and perennial cranky Clarence (Caine) moves in, Edward's life is forever changedas is Clarence's. What starts out as a tempestuous union at first, blossoms into a caring, nurturing experience as Clarence makes it his mission to turn Edward's life around into one of embracing life and not being consumed by the possibility of the afterlife.
The film boasts an excellent cast of some of England's finest in their golden years, including Rosemarie Harris and Elizabeth Springs. Each cast member brings a tender sadness to their character's age related affliction from the man with the shakes to the dancer who's lost a leg. Even the young in the household have their problems. Edward's mum is run down and tired, while his dad is feeling the restless pull of a midlife crisis. Lots of drama but lots of opportunity to learn lessons, to grow, to love.
But the relationship between Edward and Clarence is what this movie is all about. You would think that Bill Milner as Edward would have his work cut out for him working with the great Michael Caine in what is sure to be one of his most memorable roles. But the young actor is truly mesmerizing. And as for Michael Caine, he will break your heart---yet again! There simply aren't words to capture his every nuance in a magic filled performance.
Brace yourself. I defy you to leave with dry eyes but every tear will be worth it.
LADIES ROOM LOWDOWN: "Michael Caine was Fabulous! And wasn't the little boy great?" Two women chatted about the film all the way through the parking lot, they were so touched. The usherette was a big fan, too. She told everyone what a treat they were in for as she tore their ticket. She didn't lie!

Title : The Sweetest Thing
Author: Cathy Woodman
Genre: Chicklit
Blurb: If only everything in life was as simple as baking a cake…Jennie Copeland thought she knew the recipe for a happy life: marriage to her university sweetheart, a nice house in the suburbs and three beautiful children. But when her husband leaves her, she is forced to find a different recipe. And she thinks she's found just what she needs: a ramshackle house on the outskirts of the beautiful Talyton St George, a new cake-baking business, a dog, a horse, chickens…But life in the country is not quite as idyllic as she'd hoped, and Jennie can't help wondering whether neighbouring farmer Guy Barnes was right when he told her she wouldn't last the year. Or perhaps the problem is that she's missing one vital ingredient to make her new life a success. Could Guy be the person to provide it?
My thoughts:
This is a light-hearted read with the children, animals and Jennie's thoughts providing lots of smiles. I found it interesting that the entire book is written in present tense.
Although enjoyable, I found the ending too abrupt. However, I concluded that since it's part of a series, a lot of loose ends were left to be tied up in the next part. Not sure, just guessing!
The Sweetest Thing: (Talyton St George)
I received a copy of the book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
