Photos: Subjects, Including Cute Kids, Choose Photographer in Northern India
When photographer Anjum Vahanvati's car broke down in Khangral, Kargil, India on the way to Ladakh, he made the best of it and shot a photo in a local school that went on to become an editor's choice in the National Geographic 2012 photo contest. He also received honorable mention in the EXPOSURE 2012 photo contest. Currently based in the United Arab Emirates, Vahanvati has shot in numerous locations in Asia while constantly planning more excursions. We caught up with Vahanvati via email for a Q&A session about his travels and inspirations.
Where have you traveled in Asia, and what are some of your favorite locations to photograph?
So far I have traveled to the Philippines, Malaysia, Nepal and my home country, India. It's one place every year and I would love to cover most of the Asian countries. [I'm] looking forward to Vietnam, China or Cambodia in 2013. Final decisions have been mostly at the last moment so far. For the destinations covered so far, Nepal is where I loved the most, as that's where I really went deeper into people and portraits. India will always have a special place; it's the place I belong to, and a vast land to explore. Every place I have been to has given me something new to appreciate and look at the world and rethink about who we are.
How do you choose your subjects?
It's more of the subject choosing me. I was the one who never got along with kids, but my last two trips have a majority of pictures of kids. The featured images were shot in a small school in a remote location in northern India. The innocent looks on their faces, that smile when they see their picture on the camera screen, and getting the emotions more that you captured in the frame, is always a very pleasing and satisfying feeling for me. The best pictures turn up when you don't try to influence your subject but let them do what they were doing or whatever they want to do.
What are your sources of inspiration?
If I look too hard for inspiration, I always turn up empty and can't figure out anything. Inspiration is not always easy to spot but you know it when you find it. For me, it's always been grab the camera and go out and keep your eyes open — inspiration is all around us.
What project will you be working on next?
[I have a] few projects in my mind and [am] also planning my next trip. [I'm] currently working on my first e-book, which I hope to complete by mid-2013, which will be black-and-white street portraits from UAE, Nepal and India. [I] also started a photography group in UAE with my friend and we plan monthly activities that include regular shoot-and-learn sessions.

Third death reported on street where Nashua couple killedBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
June 28. 2013 1:14AM
One week after it was announced that an elderly couple was stabbed to death inside of their home on Newbury Street in Nashua, authorities confirmed Thursday that they are dealing with a third death in the neighborhood, but stressed that it is not another homicide."Police did respond to an unattended death," said Deputy Police Chief Andrew Lavoie. He refused to identify the deceased person whose body was found on Wednesday.While releasing few details, Lavoie did say the death occurred in the Newbury Street neighborhood. He would not elaborate on whether the death was a suicide or a result of natural causes.
"It is a nonsuspicious, unattended death," he added.
Peter Hinckley, assistant attorney general, said his department is not investigating the latest death."I don't want to get the public alarmed," Hinckley said on Thursday. "It is not a homicide."He would not comment on whether the latest death occurred in the same building as William and Eleanor Grant, who were found dead on June 17 at their home at 37 Newbury St. Hinckley also refused to comment on whether any surveillance cameras have been placed in or around the building.
According to an online telephone listing, a third individual, Carol Hilt, resides at the 37 Newbury St. address, although only the Grants are listed in city property records.
Hinckley said the investigation into their killings is ongoing. Their deaths have been ruled homicides.
"Investigators are doing a fantastic job," said Hinckley, adding much has been accomplished since the two bodies were found about 10 days ago.
Regarding citizen safety, Hinckley echoed a prior comment saying there is no direct threat to the public. However, he said that it is prudent for residents to exercise care.
Police would not comment on whether any arrests are expected soon in the case, or whether any suspects have been identified.
"We have never identified a suspect," said Lavoie, refusing to comment on whether the individual discovered from the unattended death may have been a suspect.
Authorities are continuing to follow all leads in the case, added Lavoie.
William Grant, 83, and Eleanor Grant, 78, had lived in the small Newbury Street residence for more than 40 years, according to neighbors, who described the couple as kind and generous.
The couple had been married for more than 50 years, and recently celebrated a wedding anniversary, said neighbors.
The couple was found dead by a visiting nurse who cared for Eleanor Grant, who suffered from a terminal illness, had diabetes and required insulin. Although police have confirmed the couple died of stab wounds, authorities have not stated what type of weapon was used in the attack.

Members of the HIV/AIDS Community Sound Off About PrEP and the FDA Hearing
May 12, 2012
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee recommended that the agency approve the use of the drug Truvada, manufactured by Gilead Sciences Inc., as a means to help prevent HIV infections. In a series of votes, the FDA panel approved the use of the drug for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among HIV-negative people in three categories, including 19-3 in favor for men who have sex with men, 19-2 (with one abstention) for heterosexual serodiscordant couples, and 12-8 (with two people not voting) for other individuals who are at risk of acquiring HIV through sexual activity.
The issue of PrEP leaves the HIV/AIDS community divided.
Of the 40 advocates, people living with HIV/AIDS, and doctors who testified at the 12-hour meeting on Thursday, many were against the use of Truvada for HIV prevention.
Some were concerned that PrEP would usher in a decline in condom use, that the likelihood of adherence would be low, and that giving the drug to people who are unaware that they are positive could lead to drug resistance down the road. There were also questions about side effects of Truvada, the high cost of these drugs, and the lack of equal access that people living with HIV/AIDS have to these drugs.
According to CNN.com, some of those opposed to PrEP included:
Supporters had different takes:
Other media outlets collected similar responses and reactions.
A final decision will be made by June 15.
How do you feel about PrEP? Sound off in the comments section!

Osama bin Laden and the top Al-Qaeda leadership are not in Pakistan, making US
missile attacks against them futile, according to the country's interior
"If Osama was in Pakistan we would know, with all the thousands of troops we
have sent into the tribal areas in recent months," Rehman Malik told The
Sunday Times. "If he and all these four or five top people were in our area
they would have been caught, the way we are searching."
He added: "According to our information Osama is in Afghanistan, probably
Kunar, as most of the activities against Pakistan are being directed from
Washington does not directly acknowledge its missile attacks on Pakistani
territory by unmanned drone aircraft but Pakistani officials say the US has
carried out more than 40 attacks inside its borders in the past 10 months,
killing hundreds of people.
CIA officials claim these attacks have been highly effective in disrupting
Al-Qaeda's ability to operate. However, Malik insists they are a waste of
time because the Al-Qaeda leadership is on the other side of the border in
eastern Afghanistan.
"They're getting mid-level people not big fish," he said. "And they are
counterproductive because they are killing civilians and turning locals
against our government. We try to win people's hearts, then one drone attack
drives them away. One attack alone last week killed 50 people."
US officials in Islamabad say Pakistan's government is being disingenuous,
claiming to oppose the drone attacks to win domestic support, while being
quite happy to benefit from them.
On Friday two missiles fired from a drone destroyed a communications centre in
South Waziristan that belonged to Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the
Pakistani Taliban responsible for a recent string of suicide attacks in
Pakistan's military admits it has been helped by intelligence from US
surveillance flights over the tribal areas as well as the mountain region of
Swat, where thousands of troops have been battling against another Taliban
group which had taken over the area, forcing more than 2m people to flee.
Yesterday, the government told the refugees that it had cleared Taliban forces
from most of Swat and they should return home.
Most refugees are reluctant, worried about continued hostilities and lack of
food after fighting disrupted the harvest. Abdullah Yusufzai, a medical
student who returned to the main city of Mingo-ra, said: "There is a real
shortage of food and fighting is ongoing in the hills and the army is still
blowing up houses of suspected militants."
The army has not yet caught the leaders of the Swat Taliban though the
interior minister claims that the main leader, Maulana Fazlullah, has been
hit twice and is badly wounded. "I'm quite confident we'll get them," he
"Not only have we killed most of them but we've also destroyed their hideouts
and arms depots," he added. "We discovered long, wide tunnels they were
using for weapons."
According to Malik, the families of the militant leaders had been discovered
hiding in the refugee camps. Fazlullah's family was found in a camp in
Haripur and taken into custody.
Troops will remain in Swat to prevent the Taliban from returning but the
army's main focus is switching to the tribal areas of Waziristan, home to
one of the area's fiercest tribes. South Waziristan is the headquarters of
Mehsud, and the north is also a base of Jalaluddin Haqqani, an Afghan
warlord with close links to Al-Qaeda believed to be responsible for the
capture of an American soldier last week.
"Wherever these militants are, we'll get them out," said Malik. "The decision
of the government is very firm - no mercy, no negotiation. They must
surrender or die."
For all Washington's talk of an "AfPak strategy", he said, Pakistan's efforts
to take on the Taliban their side of the border are being hampered by the
failure of American and British troops in Afghanistan to monitor their side.
"Two years ago we were being criticised by the West for our ISI
[Inter-Services Intelligence agency] helping the Taliban cross into
Afghanistan," he said. "We have stopped the border crossing. Now we're
finding the same situation - they're coming from the other side, bringing
arms and fighters from Helmand into Baluchistan and into Waziristan. Should
we say it's Afghan or western intelligence helping them?"
He argued that Nato troops in Afghanistan should have first sealed the border
before stepping up the fighting. "If we can't seal it totally we should seal
it as much as possible," he said. "If we can't have a wall, at least let's
put up barbed wire."
"They should replicate what we've done," he added. "We have 1,000 checkpoints
on our side - they have only 100, of which only 60 are working. It makes no
sense to both be fighting either side of the border without stopping the
militants crossing."
Karachi target
Political leaders have warned that Baitullah Mehsud, Pakistan's Taliban
commander, is exploiting the political and refugee crisis to destabilise
Karachi, the largest city in the country, writes Nicola Smith.
Thousands of Pashtun refugees loyal to Mehsud have fled to Karachi in the past
few months to escape fighting in the northwest. More are expected to arrive
from South Waziristan, on the border with Afghanistan.
This has led to fears that Pakistan's commercial capital, home to the banking
industry and stock exchange, is becoming "Talibanised".
Syed Mustafa Kamal, mayor of Karachi, warned that Taliban insurgents are using
their refugee status to establish strongholds.
Explaining that remittances were funding Taliban fighters, he said: "Karachi
has become the revenue engine for the Taliban. If our enemies hit Karachi,
then Pakistan's stability will be in question. Karachi is the fuel for
Pakistan's economy."
The mayor claimed the city had 3,000 madrasahs (religious schools), which were
closed to local students, and that the Taliban had begun to threaten women
in short sleeves. Police said militants planned a terrorist strike.

Posted on 10/25/2012 12:23:24 PM PDT by jazusamo
An analysis of public records by the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has found more than $20 million in federal stimulus funds benefitting real estate projects financially tied to Joseph Shepard, husband of Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill.
Earlier this month, the Associated Press published an analysis , stating, "businesses affiliated with the husband of Senator Claire McCaskill have received almost $40 million in federal subsidies for low-income housing developments during her first five years in office..."
The NLPC analysis released today showed more than $20 million in financial benefits from the federal stimulus law to real estate projects associated with McCaskill's husband, with all of the $20 million benefitting projects different than those identified by the Associated Press story.
Missouri Tax Credit Fund: More Than $1 Million in Annual Income For the McCaskill Household in 2009, 2010 and 2012
While the AP study focused on federal subsidies going to entities listed on Financial Disclosure Reports filed by Senator McCaskill, NLPC reviewed voluminous public records involving the Missouri Tax Credit Fund, L.P. (MTCF), a business listed as an asset by Senator McCaskill on her reports.
None of the six real estate projects identified by NLPC as receiving over $20 million in federal stimulus funds were listed on McCaskill's Financial Disclosure Reports or covered by the AP analysis.
According to McCaskill's Financial Disclosure Reports, MTCF was listed as having an asset value of over $1 million in 2009, 2010, and 2011. Asset values are reported in broad ranges with "Over $1,000,000" being the highest category. Therefore, it is possible that the asset value of MTCF is much larger than $1,000,000.
In 2008, prior to the stimulus law, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed in 2009, MTCF was listed by McCaskill as having an asset value of "$500,000 to $1,000,000."
The lucrative nature of this asset is underscored by McCaskill's Financial Disclosure Reports showing "over $1,000,000" in income for each of the years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Since this category is the highest listed in the Senate Financial Disclosure Reports, it is likely that the annual income from MTCF to Senator McCaskill's husband's business was higher than $1,000,000 in each of those years.
The current standard annual salary for a U.S. Senator is $174,000.
Follow the Money: How Stimulus Funds Came to Benefit McCaskill Household Income
There is no question that Senator McCaskill was deeply involved in the policies and politics of the stimulus bill signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. The public record shows Senator McCaskill speaking in favor of it on the Senate floor, supporting amendments, voting for it, and issuing press statements about it.
One such McCaskill press statement issued April 20, 2009 proved very prophetic at least for one Missouri family:
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill wants Missourians to know about all the ways the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will help put a little extra cash in their pockets over the coming months and during next year's tax season.
Buried in the massive legislation were several provisions designed to finance low-income housing. The first program, called the Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP), disbursed funds in the forms of grants or loans for capital investment to state-run entities to promote housing projects, especially those that were "shovel-ready."
The second program, known as the Tax Credit Replacement Program (TCR) allowed state entities to exchange unused housing credits for a federal grant whose proceeds then would be available for construction or rehabilitation of qualified low-income housing.
NLPC's chart below shows the stimulus funding for each of the two programs by project.
The Missouri recipient of these stimulus funds was the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC).
The Executive Director of MHDC was a former developer, Pete Ramsel. He resigned without citing a reason following the awarding of most the Missouri funds.
Mr. Ramsel was a former business partner of Senator McCaskill's husband, Joseph Shepard, according to a February 4, 2010 article in the Columbia Daily Tribune .
NLPC discovered the connection between Mr. Shepard's Missouri Tax Credit Fund and six real estate projects which received more than $20 million in federal stimulus funds by examining public records from the Missouri Housing Development Commission, the web site maintained by the federal government for stimulus fund information and the Missouri web page which archives Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financial statements.
The UCC filings document the key role played by Mr. Shepard's Missouri Tax Credit Fund (MTCF) in financing the six projects.
The UCC filings show the MCTF filing as a secured party for financing involving each of the six real estate projects. Each project is indicated as a recipient of stimulus funds on both MHDC and federal lists.
Additional UCC filings show MTCF then using its position as a secured party to obtain bank financing. Both types of UCC filings tie MTCF to the financing of the projects.
SheppardUCC filings (at article link)
The ties do not end there. A number of the UCC filings show the contact for the filing as being Sheri Barto, with the email address containing sugarcreekrealtyllc.com in the suffix.
Sugar Creek Realty LLC is described as providing "asset management, consulting, and state equity finance services" for a long list of projects, including five of the six projects benefitting from the stimulus funds.
Sugar Creek Realty, LLC appears on Senator McCaskill's 2011 Financial Disclosure Report for the year 2011 as an income-producing asset with a value of $500,000 to $1,000,000, which produced income for the McCaskill household of $100,000 to $1,000,000. And Mr. Shepard's LinkedIn Page lists him as "Owner at Sugar Creek Realty, LLC."
Therefore, at least five of the six projects funded by stimulus funds produced income for two valuable assets belonging to Senator McCaskill's husband: The Missouri Tax Credit Fund and Sugar Creek Realty, LLC.
The cozy arrangement does not end there.
Horizon Asset Management, LLC, which is listed as a debtor to the Missouri Tax Credit Fund on many of the UCC filings is hardly a stranger to Mr. Shepard's complicated network of assets. According to the annual IRS Form 990 for Horizon Housing Foundation, the foundation owns 99.9% of Horizon Asset Management, LLC. Several incorporators of the foundation have lengthy business ties to Shepard interests.
Kathleen Rorris, one of the leaders of Horizon Housing Foundation listed her employer as Sugar Creek Realty when making major donations to the McCaskill for Missouri campaign in 2005 and 2006. In fact, Ms. Rorris was one of the initial directors of Horizon Housing Foundation according to the group's original incorporation papers filed with the state of Kansas in 2000. She is currently the COO of Mr. Shepard's Sugar Creek Realty.
Another Horizon Housing Foundation leader, Alice Duarte-Fletcher, was a member of the initial board of the group and an executive with two of Mr. Shepard's companies.
NLPC, an ethics watchdog, has a long history of expertise in reviewing public documents to unravel complicated financial dealings by public officials in both parties. In 2007, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) sold back land to a developer a day after NLPC alleged in a Complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee that the original sale was a "sweetheart" deal.
What a country!
Good God, Missourians!
You're getting ripped.
Perfectly all right, she's a Democrat.
If this happened with a Republican, it would be a wall-to-wall scandal. Culture of Corruption. Corporate fat-cats feeding at the public trough, Stop The Presses.
The corruption by elected representatives is so blatant it's really difficult to comprehend how they continue to get away with it.
Nothing but Democrat Slush Funds......I wonder how much money is still left in Bathouse Barry's "Stash"??
I'm shocked shocked that gambling is going on.
Democrat pols getting stimulus 2009 kickbacks????
McCaskill in the middle of it?
She didn't pay taxes on her plane.
Wenzel Strategies polling on 15 Oct found that this McCaskill corruption now has Akin leading McCaskill by 4 in their latest poll of Missouri.
So, which is worse...corruption or misspeaking...and the answer is: corruption.
Wonder where the GOP-E stands on that?
She learned from Nancy Pelosi.
Hopefully that lead will increase when more of this comes out.
The GOPe better get their act together and support Akin these last days, this corrupt McCaskill has got to go.
Yet, people want to get all up in arms over Akin's words. Actions speak louder....sticks & stones.....wake up Missourians!!
Corrupt witch! Ughhh!
Our local media hasn't even covered this story.
That's because they know that whoever's first to put this on their air or in their paper is going to find that every single Democrat contact they have in MO government - from state legislators to county and city government, right down to the local Democrat dog-catcher - will suddenly dummy up like they've tried to eat an entire sock drawer. Won't even pick up the phone to talk to them.
All this while they accuse Republicans of "not being transparent" and "not facing questions from The People."
McCaskill is out of control.
Rasmussen and PPP polls done since then have McCaskill up by 8 points and 6 points respectively. Akin is trying to hit McCaskill on this but he just doesn't have the money. For every Akin ad on TV there are two dozen McCaskill ads. He's being drowned out. I think this one is going into the D column on November 6.
She certainly is and I pray she'll be shown the door in a couple weeks.
The worst thing that could happen to her is she gets re-elected. This is just the tip of the iceberg. She'll be spending six years getting eaten alive by NLPC. Look at their site, Rangel and others have learned the hard way.
Well, since there is no ongoing investigations of these corrupt millionaires I guess they are for it. No one wants to limit their own income possibilities, I guess.

You present an elegant stand, black base plate, silvery precision-ground metal rod, attached to which is a fine, completely transparent, rotating, six-pointed star made of Plexiglass with a sturdy metal clip on each point. The overall height of the prop is about 22 inches. That means it can be easily seen on a big stage and is also suitable for smaller settings.
You present two packs of playing cards, one red, one blue. The spectator has first choice and chooses a pack. (Let us say it is the blue pack.) You then take the red pack and remove three cards at random, which you attach to one clip on the star in each case with their backs facing the audience. These are your predictions. You always leave one space free between your predictions.
The spectator now names three cards without any prompting. You take the cards named from the (blue) spectator's pack and attach them, face sides pointing to audience, to the empty clips between your prediction cards.
The star is given a spin and turns like a lucky wheel. At the same time you turn the whole stand around so that its rear side is facing the audience.
Once the star comes to a standstill, The predictions you have made are exactly the same as the cards chosen by the spectator.

After throwing three interceptions in his latest make-or-break defeat, Tony Romo shuffled across a silent locker room, grimacing and looking at the floor.
He dressed creakily. Merely putting on his dark socks appeared to be an ordeal.
Now comes a tougher task for the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback: processing his performance in a season-ending 28-18 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday night with the NFC East title on the line.
"I feel as though I let our team down," Romo said at his postgame news conference, his words deliberate, his stare blank.
"Your legacy will be written when you're done playing the game," said Romo, whose three interceptions matched his total from the previous eight games combined.
"It's disappointing not being able to get over that hump," he added, "but I also know that football is the ultimate team sport and I need to continue to improve, and our football team does, to get there."
Needing a victory over the rival Redskins (10-6) to reach the playoffs, the Cowboys (8-8) finished at .500 for the second season in a row. They'll miss the postseason for the third consecutive year.
And this is the third time in the past five years that Dallas lost its regular-season finale when a win would have allowed it to keep playing.
"We have a big challenge ahead of us. (The Redskins) are, of course, in the tournament, and we have to sit at home and think about how to get in the tournament. This is very disappointing. We have players that have fought hard all year, but it did not end up the way we wanted," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "And one of my jobs is to evaluate and analyze and make decisions in the offseason that can help us be in better shape."
He can look at Washington to see how quickly things can change.
Rookies Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris needed only four months to give the Redskins their first division title since 1999.
Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner drafted second overall, ran for 63 yards and a touchdown. Morris, the sixth-rounder from Florida Atlantic, ran for 200 yards and three TDs. He set the franchise single-season rushing record for the Redskins, who turned around the season behind their quarterback's talent and leadership to win seven straight games, becoming the first NFL team to make the playoffs after starting 3-6 since the 1996 Jacksonville Jaguars.
After the final whistle, team captain Griffin walked off the field with a big smile, holding up his left index finger in a No. 1 gesture. Washington, which set a franchise record with only 14 turnovers this season (zero on Sunday), will host Seattle next Sunday.
Romo, meanwhile, was intercepted on each of Dallas' first two possessions. His last turnover was the one that bothered him the most: A poor throw was picked off by Rob Jackson when the Cowboys had a chance to drive for a winning score in the final minutes.
"That'll eat at me for weeks now," Romo said.
He almost became the first Dallas quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards in a season, but his career is instead further tainted by late-season disappointments. He also had Week 17 losses to the Philadelphia Eagles (44-6) in 2008 and the New York Giants (31-14) last year, along with a 1-3 record in playoff games (who can forget the botched hold?).
"There's been a couple of these games towards the end of the year that are critical games and we haven't gotten it done as a football team — and Tony's certainly a part of that, but everybody's a part of that," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said.
On Sunday, Morris' 32-yard scamper gave the Redskins a 21-10 cushion with 10½ minutes left. Trying to play catch-up, Dallas pulled within three on a 10-yard TD pass to Kevin Ogletree and a 2-point conversion with 5:50 to play. But Morris' third touchdown, a 1-yard run with 1:09 left, sealed the outcome.
It didn't help matters for Dallas that receivers Dez Bryant (back) and Miles Austin (left ankle) got injured. Bryant, who Garrett said "really couldn't even walk," left after four catches for 71 yards.
"Missing those two guys is crucial," said Ogletree, who got a talking-to from Romo after the QB's first interception.
In the end, Dallas also was hurt by missing five injured starters on a defense that simply could not stop Morris.
But what will be remembered mostly will be the play of Romo, who completed 20 of 31 passes for 218 yards, often facing pressure from what Garrett described as the way the Redskins "just kind of rolodexed those blitzes through."
"We know Romo doesn't like pressure in his face, so that was our big thing," Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. "We had to get pressure up the middle. Not so much on the outside; keep him in the pocket. That's what we were able to do."
Notes: Cowboys KR-WR Dwayne Harris was on crutches after the game. Garrett said he had a lower leg injury. ... Dallas is 128-128 in regular-season games since the start of the 1997 season.

Revision as of 02:33, 5 October 2013
MongoDB (from humongous) is an open source document-oriented database system developed and supported by 10gen. It is part of the NoSQL family of database systems. Instead of storing data in tables as is done in a "classical" relational database, MongoDB stores structured data as JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.
Installing MongoDB
Install mongodb
# pacman -S mongodb
Start MongoDB
# systemctl start mongodb
(Optional) Add MongoDB to the list of daemons that start on system startup
# systemctl enable mongodb
Access the database shell
To access the Database shell you have type in your terminal
# mongo
MongoDB won't start
Check if the lock file exists
# ls -lisa /var/lib/mongodb
If it does, stop the mongodb service, and delete the file. Then start the service again.
# rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
If it still won't start, run a repair on the database, specifying the dbpath (/var/lib/mongodb/ is the default --dbpath in Arch Linux)
# mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ --repair
After running the repair as root, the files got chowned to root, whilst Arch Linux runs it under a different user. You then need to chown back the files. Further reference
# cd /var/log/mongodb # sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb . # cd /var/lib/mongodb # sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb .
Check that the boost-libs package is up to date. MongoDB requires a specific version, however, the package does not restrict the version of this dependency.

A season filled with injuries and close losses came to an end Wednesday evening for the Florida Southern women's basketball team.
KISSIMMEE | A season filled with injuries and close losses came to an end Wednesday evening for the Florida Southern women's basketball team.
The Mocs were outscored 10-3 in the final 3:02 of the game and lost to Barry University, 50-44, in the first round of the Sunshine State Conference tournament at the Silver Spurs Arena.
"There was about a three-minute stretch there that I thought was the difference in the game," FSC coach Holly Borchers said. "Otherwise, I thought it was pretty even."
The Mocs close out the season with a 10-17 record, with six of their last eight losses coming by eight points or less. Barry (15-12) plays top-seeded Nova Southeastern in today's quarterfinals at 2:30 p.m.
"In most of the SSC games, whoever makes plays at the end will win because our games are so close," Barry coach Bill Sullivan said. "We were fortunate enough to make a few plays at the end there."
With two of their top three scorers out for the season with injuries – point guard Taylor Maldonado and forward Tracy Fosterling – the Mocs dressed just nine players. Seniors Melanie Ducott and Kirstin McIntyre combined for 32 of FSC's 44 points. Ducott led with 17 and McIntyre had 15 and also pulled down 14 rebounds.
McIntyre and Ducott actually scored the Mocs' first 29 points, and the game was tied, 29-29, with 14 minutes to play before other FSC players cracked the scoring column. Morgan Lamberg hit a jumper and sophomore Shelby Wheeler contributed her first two points of the season on a pair of free throws that gave FSC a 33-31 lead with 11 minutes to play.
FSC built its lead to four, 37-33, and held a 39-37 lead when Barry's Jacky Perez his a 3-pointer that put the Buccaneers in front, 40-39. Two free throws by Mariah Harris gave FSC the lead back, 41-40, with 4:10 to play, but Barry got the ball inside and scored six consecutive points to take control of the game.
"We knew it was going to be a battle," said Ducott, who stepped in at point guard this year after Maldonado was lost for the year in December with a knee injury. "We had our runs and they had their runs, but I thought we were going to keep the lead when we got it in the second half. Unfortunately, it got away."
After Perez's 3-pointer, Barry's last 10 points came either on layups or on free throws after the Buccaneers were able to get the ball inside.
Perez was 4-for-10 from 3-point range for the game. The Buccaneers also forced the Mocs into four turnovers during one stretch.
"That's pretty much been the theme all year. We're pretty good with (the pressure) until we get under four minutes, then we have a tendency to try to make a really fancy play when we can make a simple pass," Borchers said. "But they played their hearts out and they're trying to do the best they can. You just have to give Barry a lot of credit for making the plays when they needed to."
Tyler Hardy led Barry with 14 points. Collette Eule had 13 and Perez 12.
The FSC men open SSC tournament play Friday at 5 p.m. The second-seeded Mocs play No. 7 seed Barry. Advance-sale tickets for that game are on sale at the Florida Southern athletic office for $8. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Actavis begins shipping generic Clobex shampoo, topical lotion
MORRISTOWN, N.J. — Actavis has begun shipping clobetasol propionate shampoo and clobetasol propionate lotion, which were granted 180-day marketing exclusivity by the Food and Drug Administration.
The shampoo and topical lotion are generic equivalents of Galderma's Clobex shampoo and Clobex topical lotion, which have garnered sales of $89.9 million for the 12 months ended in September 2011.
"The launch of clobetasol propionate shampoo and clobetasol propionate lotion displays our continuing commitment to introduce new, high quality generic products to the marketplace, as well as highlights our expertise in developing and manufacturing a wide range of dosage forms," Actavis CEO Doug Boothe said. "Actavis' drive to be a leader in generic pharmaceuticals is supported by one of the largest product development pipelines in the industry."

Mead Johnson retests Enfamil batch and affirms no contamination
GLENVIEW, Ill. — Mead Johnson Nutrition over the holidays conducted a new round of testing on samples of a batch of Enfamil Premium Newborn powdered formula related to a Food and Drug Administration investigation.
Drawn from samples parallel to those being tested by public health officials and following the same methodology, the new testing did not detect any presence of Cronobacter (Enterobacter sakazakii), the company stated.
These new results reaffirm the testing conducted before the batch was made available to retailers and consumers. "Based on both sets of tests, Mead Johnson can say with confidence that Enfamil Premium Newborn formula, like every infant formula the company produces, is safe," the company said. "All Mead Johnson infant formulas undergo more than 2,300 quality tests and checks to ensure that they meet or exceed all standards set by regulatory bodies, including the World Health Organization and the U.S. FDA."
The company undertook the retesting due to confusion in the marketplace — both Supervalu and Walmart removed that product from their shelves following news reports of an infant's death. That infant had been fed the Enfamil product, however there has been no connection made between that product and the infant's death.
"Our company recently became aware of an infant's death in Missouri. This infant tested positive for Cronobacter, which is a microorganism commonly found in the environment and sometimes implicated in rare but serious illnesses in newborn babies. We were informed that the infant had been fed one of our products," Mead Johnson stated following those news reports.

12 for 2012
Rather than take off for Christmas, the editors of Drug Store News took a look at the year ahead and the stories, issues and trends that will make headlines in retail pharmacy in 2012.
The Economy Game
The slow recovery of 2011's U.S. economy will be grinding through the gridlock of the 2012 election year as Democrats and Republicans battle it out to be America's next CEO. But that's not the worst of it — economists are predicting that a 27-car pileup is on the road ahead as the European Union drives toward recession No. 2. A disassembled EU could mean more layoffs stateside, more uncertainty in the markets, another dive in consumer confidence and less spending.
Many retailers have been going after higher-end shoppers, and with good reason. According to Nielsen Homescan data, both trips and dollars were down for about 80% of shoppers, with only $100,000-plus households showing any growth over a two-year period from October 2009 to October 2011. But what happens if and when those shoppers, too, start running on reserves?
Interactive Customer Experience
We got a glimpse of the future of drug store retailing back in July when New York-based Duane Reade introduced a new, more interactive and luxurious shopping experience. Its 40 Wall St. flagship store features a virtual assistant that greets customers as they enter the store, as well as a digital makeup mirror in the beauty section and a mix-your-own Coca-Cola machine. The developer of the virtual assistant technology, Lawrence, foresees HIPAA-compliant holographic programs to help guide customers' health and purchasing decisions.
Meanwhile, Rite Aid and Walgreens are putting iPads in the hands of store pharmacists — "Wellness Ambassadors" in Rite Aid's Wellness stores — and getting them out from behind the counter. Rite Aid also plans to roll out 3-D holographic kiosks under a partnership with Provision Interactive Technologies. Expect to see the use of tablet devices at retail grow in 2012 as the price comes down and the technology becomes more pervasive.
Commerce Moves to Mobile
It's guerilla retailing, and Amazon.com potentially has as many tributaries as the actual Amazon with the number of shoppers using brick-and-mortar stores as the dot-commer's virtual 3-D showcase. According to a Verve Wireless survey, more than 60% of respondents used their smartphones for shopping one or more times each month. Of those, 63% were on Amazon's Web page.
So that makes a smartphone strategy quintessential in navigating through this new retail jungle. According to Drug Store News blogger Moira Koch, those retailers engaging m-commerce with e-coupons and daily deals will reap the benefits with increased loyalty and traction.
Flipping the Switch
Switch epitomizes affordability and access, which are two of the OTC propositions the Consumer Healthcare Products Association is touting on the Hill. And they've got the ear of Congress, no doubt, because no matter what version of
ObamaCare, RomneyCare or AnybodyCare health reform is finally adopted, of all healthcare payers, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will be writing the
most checks.
And 2012 may be the year a company like Pfizer finally puts a Lipitor statin switch square through the uprights, even though the Food and Drug Administration has iced previous statin kickers four times already. Beyond Lipitor, insomnia may be the next knockout category to be switched.
Retail Giants Shrink Stores
It's the incredible shrinking retailer! No, it's not a bad sequel to the 1980s flick "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" — it's the latest phenomenon to hit the retail industry.
Retail giant Walmart has several variations of smaller formats in play, ranging from its Walmart.com test sites in California, which showcase its online merchandise in small stores, to Walmart Express, which is a further downsizing of the supercenter and Neighborhood Market formats.
Meanwhile, Target and Meijer both have developed smaller-
format stores. Expect to see this trend continue, especially as retailers look to further meet the needs of consumers residing in "food deserts."
The Brink of Clinics 2.0
With an anticipated growth of consumer-driven care and more of the burden for managing costs falling on patients' shoulders, expect retail clinic visits to continue to rise, while clinic operators open more locations, services extend beyond treating acute ailments and medication therapy management is further integrated. In fact, during CVS Caremark's recent Analyst Day in New York, the company noted that nonacute visits are on the rise and, by 2015, are expected to account for 25% of all MinuteClinic visits.
The use of retail-based health clinics increased tenfold between 2007 and 2009, based on the findings of a new Rand Corp. study. Through 2015, retail clinic sales are expected to continue expanding, rising by 19.3% per year to reach $1.7 billion, according to Kalorama Information.
Fists Fly Over ESI-Medco
The punches continue to fly from every direction. And expect the heat to continue on the proposed Express Scripts-Medco merger. In December, ESI honcho George Paz told members of a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, "I can't stop certain pharmacies from going out of business." Paz also suggested Express Scripts would champion independent pharmacy. "My intention is to work a deal with the independent pharmacist[s] and reimburse them at a higher rate than the [big-box pharmacies]," he said.
Expect independent pharmacy to hold him to that promise, and another furious flurry of lefts and rights between now and June when the FTC finally is expected to rule.
Whither Health Reform?
Whatever you want to call it, this all comes back to consumer-directed health care. The individual mandate — the central issue in the case against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for which the Supreme Court has set aside three days in March to decide upon — is a pretty good example of shifting the onus of managing the cost of health care to the consumer. The court's decision is expected in June and is expected to be a major issue in the fall elections.
Regardless of where the court lands on this, don't expect the trend toward consumer-directed health care to disappear. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. That means more clinics, more OTCs, more switches, more incentives for wellness and prevention, and more penalties for unhealthy lifestyles.
Dimes on the Dollar
It's the dollar channel that nickels and dimes its consumers every which way to Sunday — to the customers' delight. That channel is expanding its upper-income household penetration because those folks like seeing only the nickels and dimes flowing out of their pocketbooks.
The channel is one to tune into because comp sales across the top three have been up for at least 14 quarters and counting. Additionally, they're expanding fresh food and consumer packaged goods brand presence, and two of the channel leaders are run by retail pharmacy folk. How soon before one of them hangs a pharmacy shingle?
Nearing Expiration Dates
The Nov. 30 patent expiration of Pfizer's Lipitor (atorvastatin) was only the beginning. AstraZeneca's psychiatric drug Seroquel (quetiapine), Merck's respiratory drug Singulair (montelukast), Takeda's diabetes drug Actos (pioglitazone) and Forest Labs' antidepressant Lexapro (escitalopram) will lose their patent protection this year — drugs whose 2010 sales, ranging from $2.8 billion for Lexapro to $4.4 billion for Seroquel, landed them on IMS Health's top 20 list.
Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration brought alleviation of its massive backlog of generic drug approval applications closer to reality last month with a draft of the goals of the Generic Drug User Fee Act. Regulations for biosimilars will take longer, but last month, Watson and Amgen announced a collaboration to develop them.
Companies 'HIT' Big
Allowing patients to arrange medication refills and pickups with their smartphones is close to becoming an industry standard, but it's likely to become more common, especially with a survey by Insight Express showing that 55% of smartphone owners have used them in a hospital or doctor's office, while 82% have used them in a store.
Walgreens and CVS have been leaders in this regard, but supermarket chain Winn-Dixie has joined in, too. While still in its early stages, Rite Aid's partnership with OptumHealth allows patients to interact with doctors and nurses online at some of its stores in Detroit. As society's embrace of technology has grown ever cozier, retailers have followed suit, taking advantage of everything from high-speed Internet to smartphones to enhance convenience and efficiency.
Up North
Canada has been catapulted to the "must watch" list for 2012, and there are several important reasons why.
First of all, leading pharmacy retailers Shoppers Drug Mart and Katz Group Canada have new leaders at the helm. Former McKesson Canada president Domenic Pilla now heads up Shoppers, and rising pharmacy veteran Frank Scorpiniti officially will assume the role of CEO of Katz Group Canada in February. These major executive moves come as the Canadian pharmacy industry navigates the cuts in generic drug pricing.
Meanwhile, many Canadian retail chains have been facing increased competition from U.S. retailers. For example, Target is looking to open its first Canadian stores in 2013.
Make no bones about it — Canada is one to watch in 2012 and beyond.

ORLANDO -- Who needs a quarterback?
There are a handful of NFL teams that fall into that category, although the list of potential suitors for one of the Eagles' three quarterbacks is seemingly drying up.
AFC coaches had breakfast today with the media at the NFL owners' meetings and a few coaches put their quarterback situation into perspective. (Eagles coach Andy Reid and the rest of his NFC brethen will chow and chat with reporters tomorrow.)
Buffalo coach Chan Gailey said that he is still on the market for another quarterback, even though he said that he has three -- Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Brohm -- that are capable of starting. A few enterprising reporters tap-danced around asking specifically about Donovan McNabb or Michael Vick -- the two Eagles quarterbacks most likely on the market -- knowing full well that Gailey wouldn't talk about players on another team's roster.
Gailey was asked if he was approaching the near future as if there still might be a quarterback that isn't on his roster.
"Oh, sure," said Gailey, who was hired by the Bills earlier this year. "Oh, yeah. Sure we are."
Got any names?
"Yeah, you want them?"
Gailey laughed.
Does one have the initials "DM?"
Gailey laughed.
Uncomfortable silence.
"I think you got to look at the draft," Gailey continued. "I think you got to look at free agency. I think you got to look at trades."
So would you trade for a quarterback with the talent level of a Brett Favre (read: McNabb)?
"I don't know," Gailey said. "Maybe. That's hasn't come up, but could we? Yeah. ... You shouldn't do the deal unless they have an impact. Now how big depends on who it is, what he brings, what you can do with him. We're not looking to do anything that is not set and concrete, because when you don't have a proven starter you're open to every scenario."
Of course, even if the Bills and Eagles were willing to swing a deal for McNabb, he would have to OK the move. Vick, on the other hand, would probably play for the Afghanistan Taliban if he had a chance to start at quarterback.
Oakland coach Tom Cable said that he was open to adding another quarterback into his mix, but right now the Raiders' starting job will go to the winner of the competition between Bruce Gradkowski and JaMarcus Russell.
David Garrard is Jacksonville's starting quarterback, according to coach Jack Del Rio. And the Browns are no longer in search of a starter after they signed free agent Jake Delhomme.
That's about it in the AFC, right? We'll check with the NFC tomorrow.

Posted on 10/03/2011 9:35:59 AM PDT by Chuckster
Little help here please. After the latest automatic update, Firefox refuses to run on my computer (Win XP Pro). I have tried everything I can think of but it just will not run. Firefox is set as the default browser on my computer but will not start by clicking the desktop shortcut, or from the start menu. I have tried starting it from the Run command line and by going into the file manager and starting it from program files. Nothing.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled and rebooted several times - no joy.
While running through this problem I discovered that both Google chrome and Safari have the same problem. The only browser that will start up is IE Explorer.
Two suggestions:
1) Reinstall the prior version of FF and see if it still runs. This will identify whether you have a different problem which just showed up at the time of the upgrade.
2) This will probably be fixed—but in the meantime, you could try Chrome.
I had the SAME exact problem. I had to uninstall and then re-install FF and it worked fine. Make sure and back up your settings if you wanna keep 'em.
But once I did that, it ran perfectly and is so much faster than the 6.0.
I also run XP Pro btw.
Try this: uninstall your current version of Mozilla through Control Panel; also get rid of any program files in your Windows explorer folder. Restart the computer.
Then, using IE explorer, download the latest & greatest version of Mozilla....also the latest version of Adobe flash.
Good luck...
I do not have an answer but since this is a computer thread, I have a question that is unrelated to your problem. Does any one know where the info is stored on my computer? Specifically User Name and passwords for sites like FR or my Email program.
That happens occasionally.
It may be that a portion of FF is already running, thus preventing a new window from opening.
Right-click on the START Tool Bar and select Task Manager.
In Task Manager, select the Process tab. Click on Image Name to alphabetize. So down the list to see if firefox.exe is listed. If so, select firefox.exe and then select End Process.
After a few moments, try to load Firefox.
If it still won't load, you may need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox.
For something like your email program it is in the program itself. Example would be Firebird. That has the option to store or not store passwords. If you don't want them stored, de-select. Outlook is a whole other mess. That would have a database file with the stored passwords. Others would be different.
as you have three browsers all on the fritz, it's probably a add-on that's causing it.
Probably Adobe Flash player.
Try to download and install the latest version:
if that doesn't work, try this:
TO backup your firefox settings, go download and use mozbackup, http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/download.php
IDK how to backup Safari.
then uninstall, then reinstall firefox. same for safari.
Also, try updating Java plugin before uninstalling and reinstalling browsers:
Also, you can try to run Firefox in safe mode with no plugins: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
select "Start -> Run" (on Windows 7/Vista, enable the Run box, as described here) and enter the following in the Windows Run box:
For Firefox, one of these:
firefox -safe-mode
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
Thanks, but I have already encountered that one - that's not the problem this time.
Does the Application Event Log show any clues?
Thanks, but I have already encountered that one - that's not the problem this time.
How odd is that? Since the problem is not firefox-centric... since Safari and Chrome are also effected... I find it hard to believe it was the Firefox update that did you in... UNLESS that update was a subsystem, and *not* Firefox itself. I would look for subsystems that effect all three, and not IE. The likely culprit would be Adobe Flash, with Java being a close second.
Try uninstalling Flash, using their universal uninstaller. This will fully uninstall BOTH the ActiveX (IE), and standalone (everything else) versions of Flash completely. RESTART. When done, Check for JOY. IF JOY, then you will have to re-install Flash in both IE and in Firefox (which will install also for Safari and Chrome) to get right.
If no JOY, next go to Add&Remove Programs, and uninstall ALL versions of Sun Java... and while you are there, any toolbars, especially oddball ones... RESTART. Check for JOY. IF JOY, reinstall the newest Java. Check for JOY. IF JOY, AND IF YOU REALLY MUST, reinstall toolbars one at a time, checking for JOY each time. If any one tool bar causes grief, uninstall it and leave it gone.
Look at RealPlayer, and any other subsystem (MediaPlayer add-ons, etc)that might effect all non-IE browsers, using the same uninstall, look for Joy, reinstall method.
If none of the above, I would sincerely be looking for a virus problem, or adware... Normally I would have this step first, but most bugs will crap out IE before any of the Mozilla based stuff.
Excellent suggestions.
I know that Flash has messed me up when installing new FireFox versions in the past. Your post takes this a step further.

This was a surpised gift for my husband. I gave up my red TA for this beauty. When he came home from work, I had dealership balloons, you know the big ones that they use, all over the truck and a big red bow to top it off. He fell in love with it and then I added some goodies to it.
I always drove Ford trucks, this is my first Dodge truck, So faf I am pleased
Oh, I don't know. I can tell you this that while I was driving to the beach I had this old Chevy truck that was done up challenging me to race while on an interstate. Now, normally I do not pick races, but there were three young guys thinking they were all that, and I looked at my husband, and he said "go for it". Slowly I pushed the pedal down, never even hitting the floor and the next thing I know, I was walking away from the Chevy and doing 110 mph!! Being I could see a little spec in my mirror for the Chevy, I backed off and called it a day! :-)

This is a difficult time to be a smoker. As the public becomes more aware that smoking is a hazard not only to you but also to others, nonsmokers are becoming more outspoken, and smokers are finding themselves a beleaguered group.
If you choose to smoke, here are some things you can do to help protect the people close to you:
More than 2 million people quit smoking every year, most of them on their own, without the aid of a program or medication. If you want to quit smoking, assistance is available. Smoking cessation programs can help. Your employer may offer programs, or ask your doctor for advice.

Volkerize.com is your friend to find things around here. But I'll take my best stab at your questions.
> Are people still experiencing moonroof noise?
From what I've been reading, there will always be some, but it has been/can be improved at a service center if it's too noisy. I imagine new cars have had the engineering changes applied already.
> If I get delivery in August and I lose my job in May could I back out of the reservation, or hold it until I'm gainfully employed again?
I see no reason why you couldn't hold on to the reservation. If you car comes up for manufacturing and you're not ready, I believe you're allowed one deferral without penalty. After that you go to the "back of the line", I think.
> How would a trade-in work? I see it mentioned on the website, but haven't talked to anyone at Tesla about it.
Trade-ins WERE being offered as a deal with participating AutoNation dealerships, but the general consensus is that program was a joke. I'm not even sure they offer it anymore. You're better off selling on your own. Try CarMax if you have one nearby, they're quick, painless and often pay pretty well.
> When you pay the deposit, at what point do you pay the full amount?
Upon delivery.
Just to add, I don't know what vehicle you're considering but I believe that Tesla isn't accepting reservations on the S any longer. It's a straight deposit now. They are accepting reservations on the X though.
I am currently in the waiting phase so I can tell you what I found thus far:
One you finalize you can (from your dashboard) change the preferred delivery timeframe but I'm not sure how far you can move it out.
As for the trade in portion I went to carmax and got an appraisal of 13k for my 06 Infiniti M35 THEN I called Auto Nation through the Tesla program and they only offered me 10300 so needless to say I am going with Carmax.
The full amount - deposit is due upon delivery but it depends on the state you live in as to whether you pay taxes at the SC or the DMV. In the case of Virginia I am going to pay taxes at the DMV so I am going to withhold that amount from my down payment.
Hope this helps!

Re: RIP Davy
v sad.........
Re: RIP Davy
I wonder if there were any signs before
of a heart concern,
Yes, I was one of those who'd watch
the Monkees series,
I think because it was so fun loving to watch
I agree, rest in peace Davy
but keep on singing on the other side
Re: RIP Davy
There was signs the day before and he went to the hospital but unfortunetly the hospital released him and he had the heartattack the next day
Re: RIP Davy
awe i was just his time i guess.........
Re: RIP Davy
Wow, Ive heard of that happening
all too often,
is there no way to get a second opinion
if a hospital does send ya home?
Prevention is better than the cure
Re: RIP Davy
i don't think he would have had the time to arrange it...........
Re: RIP Davy
What did Davy persue after the Monkey's?
Re: RIP Davy
solo career but then the Monkees got back together (without Mike Nesmith) in the 80's and had a couple of hits. His last tour with them was last year. He was doing a solo tour when he died.
Re: RIP Davy
wow, he kept going up to the end
I had a relative that had a similar thing happen
one minute standing the next,
one never knows when your times up
I wonder if sometimes when we end up on the other side saying
"What happened? I was living a few seconds ago?
I wonder if spirits go into shock in the beginning, like
we do when we experience big change,
kinda spaced out until we are acclimatized to
their new spiritual environment again.
(I also believe we we lived as spirits before
we were born.)
and in the saying
"we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience"

My dear friend Kat posted a playlist for the month of January on her Facebook the other day and like I always do, I decided to copy her because she's cool and has really good ideas. One playlist a month for an entire year. What I'm listening to now, what fits the mood of the month. That kind of thing.
January's playlist is an EP; I didn't have enough time to really pull together anything substantial. So here's my list! All of them are available via Spotify!
- Gotta Have You – The Weepies
- 3 Rounds and a Sound – Blind Pilot
- New Slang – The Shins
- Disengaged – Grouper
- Lay Myself Down – Mazzy Star
You can probably set these songs to shuffle without any problem but I like the progression of these 5 songs, especially between New Slang, Disengaged, and Lay Myself Down.
Let me know what you think!

SAN ANDREAS - Drunken drivers who injure people get sent to prison all the time. Usually, the only ones in court to witness the event are attorneys, a few relatives and, sometimes, victims.
When Lucky Rance Marcum was sentenced to 16 months in prison Friday in Calaveras Superior Court, however, 33 stone-faced students from Calaveras High School were present.
Marcum, 26, made the most of it. He looked into their eyes and slowly, carefully, read a detailed statement on the impact of alcohol and methamphetamine addiction on his life, and his remorse over the injuries he caused in a traffic accident about 2 a.m. Oct. 21 where Highways 4 and 49 cross in Angels Camp.
"Do you want to walk down the same path I have?" Marcum asked. "I sure hope not."
The students were there thanks to Reduce Impaired Driving, a program the Calaveras County District Attorney's Office launched several months ago with help from a $160,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
The grant pays to have Deputy District Attorney Mauro Quintero focus on driving under the influence cases, and for Quintero to do education aimed at reducing the number of people who get behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
"Recently there have been several studies that said our county, Calaveras County, was one of the more dangerous in the state," Quintero told the students during a presentation earlier in the morning.
Dangerous, that is, in terms of the number of injury accidents per mile driven. Part of that danger, he told the students, is from intoxicated drivers.
To prove the point, he invited a number of the students to try simple tasks like walking, tossing a ball, or taking an officer-administered sobriety test while wearing goggles that mimic the effect of intoxication.
"It was difficult. It really does impair," Brandon McCleese, 18, a senior at Calaveras High, said after attempting a game of catch while wearing the goggles.
McCleese and other students acknowledged that they are aware that many of their peers do drive while intoxicated. But they were hopeful that education efforts such as the one Friday will help.
"Even if it just helps a couple people, it would be worth it," said Jacob Schnepple, 17, a junior at Calaveras High.
The 33 students were chosen to participate because they are in the criminal justice class at Calaveras High. Many hope for careers in law enforcement or the military.
Schnepple, for example, hopes to join the U.S. armed services and become a military police officer.
Those presenting the program repeatedly urged the students to alert their peers to the high costs in life, liberty and property that driving while impaired can impose.
"It's OK to tell your friends they can't drive. It's OK to take their keys," said Cathe Howell, the Reduce Impaired Driving program assistant.
Marcum had the same message. The accident he caused injured a woman, her 7-year-old son and the woman's boyfriend. Marcum lost his job and his house and will now serve a prison term. He also owes more than $20,000 in restitution and fines.
"I have to live each and every day knowing I could have killed someone that night," Marcum said.

BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi court has sentenced an American citizen to life in prison on charges of assisting al-Qaida and financing terrorist activities in Iraq, according to a government statement released Thursday.
The Interior Ministry said Omar Rashad Khalil, 53, was recruited by al-Qaida in Iraq in 2005. Khalil, an architectural engineer, is of Palestinian descent and entered the country in 2001, the ministry statement said.
The ministry released excerpts from a confession it said Khalil made in which he allegedly admitted to receiving money from a Syrian man in the United Arab Emirates to pay for terror attacks.
Khalil, who the ministry said was also known as Abu Mohammed, was sentenced by Baghdad's central criminal court on Wednesday. Iraqi government officials could not immediately be reached for more details.
U.S. embassy spokesman Frank Finver issued a statement saying that the embassy officials were aware of the reports. The statement did not give further details, citing privacy act considerations, and referred questions to local authorities and Khalil's attorney. Neither the embassy nor Iraqi officials identified Khalil's lawyer.
Meanwhile, Iraq's Justice Ministry said six people convicted on terrorism charges were executed on Thursday, bringing the number of executions since the beginning of this year to 102. The ministry statement had no further details and did not identify the six.
The increase in government-sanctioned executions in Iraq has raised concerns among international human rights observers about whether the defendants are receiving fair trials. Iraq has shrugged off calls to abolish the death penalty.
Also Thursday, a morning car bomb in Baghdad killed five bystanders and wounded 13 people, police and health officials said.
The explosives-packed car went off in the upscale Sunni-dominated Mansour district, two police officers said. The blast narrowly missed a passing convoy of employees working for an unidentified security company. Three policemen at a nearby checkpoint were among those wounded in the attack, the officers said.
A medical official in a nearby hospital confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Violence has dropped in Iraq since the height of the insurgency a few years ago but militants still stage assassinations and other deadly attacks nearly every day.
The country also sees occasional large-scale bombing offensives, often in multiple cities on a single day, attributed to the Sunni-dominated al-Qaida in Iraq. The group has for years sought to undermine Iraq's Shiite-led government with attacks against the security forces and Shiite civilians.

Take a walk on the Appalachian Trail
As fun as it might be to briskly climb a mountain trail, a hike need be neither strenuous nor steep to satisfy the psyche. There is something to be said for a long walk in the woods over gentle terrain, especially when the leaves are luminescent and temperatures tolerable. Add a river to the scene, and it can be a very special day. In Kent, the wilderness road is the Housatonic River, and paralleling it for more than five miles is a section of the Appalachian Trail and a latter-day roadway, River Road, a dirt road. Here you can not only have woods and water both, but decide for yourself exactly how much of them you'd like to fit into your outing. Whether you want to wade and get your feet wet is up to you, too. Getting There: Route 4 west to Route 7 south to Route 341. Take 341 west across the Housatonic River and take an immediate right onto Skiff Mountain Road. Follow Skiff Mountain 1.1 miles to River Road, a right. A small dirt parking area is at the end of River Road, 2.5 miles.

Alliance partners Cosatu and the ANC are headed for another showdown soon after the Mangaung conference as the unionists prepare to launch a strike action to demand radical transformation policies, placing further strain on already testy relations between the two organisations. By SIPHO HLONGWANE/NewsFire.
On Sunday, ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe launched a scathing attack on Cosatu at the party's national conference in Mangaung for failing to contain its criticisms of the government within the alliance.
"It is always awkward when any alliance partner pronounces negatively on the other alliance partners and the other partners only discover the problem in the media. Alerting the other alliance partner is not tantamount to giving away the right to take independent decisions."
The relationship between the allies has been troubled by Cosatu's opposition to the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (e-tolling) in Gauteng, the Protection of State Information Bill and general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi's public criticism of the ANC's corruption and poor governance record.
Just before the ANC's Mangaung conference, the trade union federation announced that it would seek to embark on a socioeconomic protest to spark a radical transformation of the economy.
"Whilst 1994 marked an important breakthrough and a crucial turning point in the struggles of the working class in South Africa, the democracy that it has ushered in has yet to deliver tangible material benefits to the vast majority of the working class," Cosatu said in a statement.
"The Freedom Charter declares that in a democratic South Africa, 'There Shall Be Work and Security'! It further demands that: 'The state shall recognise the right and duty of all to work'. Yet, all the policies that have been adopted in the past 18 years have failed to deliver on the fundamentals: unemployment reduction, poverty elimination and the reduction of social and economic inequality."
Cosatu will demand that the ANC must enact tighter labour regulation and greater state intervention in the economy, such as a state-controlled banking system and 100% state control of the Reserve Bank.
The federation's second largest affiliate, the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) wants the outright nationalisation of economic sectors such as mining and energy.
Another sticking point between Cosatu and the ANC is the balance of power between the alliance partners, with Mantashe saying that the ANC was the strategic centre of power, and the federation calling for the alliance as a whole to be regarded as such.
Delegates to the Mangaung conference were still debating the state's role in the economy on Wednesday, with a resolution due to be passed the next day.
Speaking on the sidelines of the conference, Vavi told SAPA that the government could not just focus on creating an environment for business to invest.
At its policy conference in June, the ANC reaffirmed its view that it wanted to play an interventionist role in the economy in order to create a developmental state. This is a more liberal stance than that agitated for by Cosatu.
Shortly after the leadership election was concluded and the newly-elected president Jacob Zuma preached unity to the delegates, ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu publicly took exception to Vavi's comments about the party's leaders.
Vavi was quoted as saying: "Unfortunately there has not been a great show of unity. In the past two days that's not what the conference has demonstrated in terms of the leadership fighting."
Mthembu said that Vavi's comments should have been reserved for the alliance and not dangled before the media.
Vavi turned down a nomination to the ANC national executive committee, as did NUMSA general secretary Irvin Jim and National Union of Mineworkers general secretary Frans Baleni. DM

Beaumont/Port Arthur
It took a while, but old man winter is finally here, and just in time for deer hunters to get in on the movement of bucks that are just now beginning to come to feeders. If you're lucky enough to have a South Texas lease, bucks are definitely in the rut, and now is when some of the highest scoring racks will be tagged.
A whole lot of wind and rain has brought a flood of water to East and Southeast Texas that will likely slow the fishing down on Sabine Lake and East Galveston Bay. But Sam Rayburn guide Bill Fondren says the crappie and bass fishing there is still pretty darned good.
The first split of the duck season closed with a bang on Nov. 25, with lots of great reports coming in from hunters at the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area and the McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge. The second half of the duck season will open Dec. 8 and run through Jan. 27.
Goose hunts have been hit and miss. Best shoots have been on windy days over rice or plowed fields west of Beaumont in the Winnie area.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

|Are swollen lymph nodes a CONSTANT feature in HIV/AIDS?
Feb 17, 2002
Please let me know whether swollen lymph nodes is a constant feature in HIV/AIDS
Response from Dr. Dezube
Swollen lymph nodes are extremely common in HIV/AIDS. They are a sign that the body is trying to fight off infection. Usually lymph nodes are more prominent early on in HIV infection. You ask, are they a CONSTANT feature? I would have to answer this with a "No". I certainly have patients in my practice with HIV infection with no nodes which I can feel and who don't have nodes on x-rays. I also have patients in my practice with huge nodes, many of which have been biopsied. Most commonly their lymph nodes are "reactive" in nature. The word "reactive" means that their bodies are just trying to fend off the HIV virus.
We get more concerned with lymph nodes if one is way out of proportion to the other lymph nodes, if they grow over time, or if they are associated with symptoms such fever, chills, night sweats, and weight loss.
Night Sweats- at what point do you worry?
I have a lymph node; my mom died of cancer; what do you think?

"It's not the first or the last time a retailer discloses details about a game ahead of it's release date. Today, Altex Romania, added to their pre-orders two version of the upcoming Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition."
Is that the official boxart? it looks poorly photoshopped........
I'm guessing that release date is as fake as the box art. lol
It's not the first time a retailer has put up fake products/release dates to get hits.
This is fake. Don't believe it.
For starters, they list that the game is going to release on consoles in two different versions, the standard game, and the expansion pack.
This is total BS, the game is releasing as one complete title.
That, and the box art looks photoshopped.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. - The mother of a 9-year-old girl who says she was bullied has been arrested on charges she boarded a school bus and slapped and cursed at two fourth-grade boys, while the girl's grandmother is accused of screaming at them, authorities said.
Rebecca Sardoni, 28, of Toms River, and her mother, 51-year-old Stephanie Sardoni, of Beachwood, were arrested Friday and released on summonses.
Toms River Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy told The Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/QArkQn) that witnesses said the two women boarded a school bus Friday morning bound for East Dover Elementary School and asked for a boy they claimed had been harassing Rebecca Sardoni's daughter.
Several students on the bus said Rebecca Sardoni then cursed at the boy and slapped him and a boy seated next to him while Stephanie Sardoni yelled at the two boys, Mastronardy said.
Rebecca Sardoni is charged with simple assault, criminal trespass and making terroristic threats. Stephanie Sardoni is charged with criminal trespass.
The women told the newspaper's Sunday edition that they regretted boarding the bus, but Rebecca Sardoni denied touching or hitting anyone.
"They (the boys) weren't the ones who were suffering; my daughter was," Rebecca Sardoni said.
Rebecca Sardoni said she took matters into her own hands after school officials ignored complaints that her daughter, who is also in fourth-grade, had been verbally and physically bullied by other students.
School officials couldn't be reached Sunday by The Associated Press.
The boys were treated by nurses from Toms River Regional Schools for cuts to their mouths. One of the boys was taken by his parents to a local hospital for treatment of a neck injury, Mastronardy said.
The stepfather of one of the boys - who have not been named because of their ages - told the newspaper his stepson had a cut on his lip after Rebecca Sardoni slammed his head against the bus window.

OK ladies, I am struggling...I want my cycle to return!! I am 33 and want another baby soon (it took 11 months to get pregger the first time, so I am worried it will take awhile with the next) AND it hurts SO freaking badly to have sex. I have been told that the pain comes from lack of hormones due to BFing, so my thought was that I could get my cycle back and it might help with the pain (and also maybe regulate it a bit and eventually try for #2).
I don't want to do anything that will compromise my nursing relationship (DS is only 9 months), but the lack of intimacy with my DH is pretty bad. It has hurt so badly at times that I want to cry.
Any suggestions? Night weaning? Estrogen cream? Anything??

Bird Flu Seen Beyond Mainland, in Taiwan
BEIJING—Taiwan reported the first case of a new form of avian flu found outside China's mainland on Wednesday and said that three health-care workers who treated the patient had developed undiagnosed respiratory symptoms, raising concerns over the virus's potential for spreading by human-to-human contact.
At a news conference earlier in the day in Beijing, global health officials stressed that there had been no confirmed cases of transmission of the virus, called H7N9, between humans. However, they said, researchers were still struggling to understand how the virus was spread and hadn't ruled out the possibility of human-to-human transmission.
Taiwan health officials said a 53-year-old Taiwanese man developed a fever on April 12, three days after returning from China's coastal Jiangsu province, where the virus first emerged in China, according to Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control.
Three of the 110 hospital and clinic workers who have overseen the patient have developed symptoms of upper-respiratory infection, the statement said. Health officials are monitoring the workers and 29 other people who came into contact with the patient, the CDC said.
The H7N9 virus been detected in urban poultry markets, leading to the culling of thousands of birds. But the virus doesn't appear to notably sicken infected birds, unlike H5N1, another avian-flu virus that is deadly in birds and occasionally infects people.
The patient in Taiwan, who is in serious condition, wasn't believed to have had any exposure to birds or poultry and hadn't consumed undercooked poultry or eggs while in the Jiangsu city of Suzhou, the Taiwan CDC said on its website.
To better understand the virus's spread and potential for human-to-human transmission, Chinese and World Health Organization officials said Wednesday in Beijing that they plan to boost surveillance and research on H7N9. Further surveillance will help in understanding the virus's transmission, said Liang Wannian, director general of the health emergency division of China's National Health and Family Planning Commission.
Not all cases within China have come from people who have had contact with poultry. Some were found within family clusters, though WHO experts say it isn't clear whether those cases were caused by a common exposure to poultry or due to limited person-to-person transmission.
The rate of new cases has slowed since Shanghai's live poultry markets were closed on April 6, said Anne Kelso, director of the World Health Organization's Collaborating Centre for Influenza in Melbourne. "Evidence shows that closing the markets was an effective way of reducing infections," Ms. Kelso said. "Still, we can't relax yet."
Health experts have just finished an initial investigation into the virus, which has infected 108 people in China, killing 22 of them, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Of the remaining 86, 14 have been discharged from the hospital and 72 others remain in treatment, Xinhua says.
Experts say that it is reassuring to see that cases are now sporadic, as it suggests the virus can't easily be contracted by one person from another. While most cases have centered around Shanghai, the disease has spread beyond the region. The first case in China's northeastern Shandong province was announced Tuesday, according to Xinhua.
In the hunt for the source of the infection, additional testing of farms is planned, said Malik Peiris, a University of Hong Kong microbiologist.
Chinese officials say they would consider developing a vaccine, but the research and development will take time.
Taiwan is strengthening its screening of travelers from China, the CDC said.
