Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com stops by The McNeil and Spiegel Show Wednesday mornings at 10 a.m. on WSCR-AM 670 The Score. He doesnt soft-pedal things on PFT and he didnt this morning, either.
Mike might want to watch his caller ID for a call from Giselle Bunchen aka Mrs. Tom Brady, who fired on critics of her husbands play in Super Bowl. Mike acknowledged that passes like the one to Wes Welker did hit receivers in the hands, but those were not good passes, meaning that the finger was pointed at Brady.
The ball was not accurately thrown and for Welker just to get his hands on the ball, he had to be an acrobat, Mike said, mentioning how the drop by Deion Branch was a ball thrown well behind the wide receiver.
It may not have been as simple as Brady just having a bad day. Brady had an epic run of 16 straight completions from the end of the second quarter into the start of the third, but he was sacked by New York defensive end Justin Tuck, landed hard on his left shoulder, and Bradys accuracy was undermined by that re-injury to his left shoulder, Mike said.
It wont ultimately hurt Brady in Hall of Fame voting but Mike was in no mood to spare the 44-member selection committee for the Hall. He had no problem with the five additions to the Hall plus the one senior selection but pointed to the exclusions of Cris Carter and Bill Parcells as questionable.
Mike was candid about the jerk factor that ran through Carter and Parcells during their careers but was insistent that being a jerk didnt mean you should be excluded from the Hall of Greats. One of Mikes thoughts is that the number of voters should be expanded in order to dilute the hard-core haters who dont vote for someone simply because they dont like the guy.
I think 44 is too few and I think there are some voters in those 44 who dont belong there, Mike said. Im going to keep banging the drum until changes occur.
The Bears will face the Indianapolis Colts in 2012 but Mike didnt have any clear fix yet on whether Peyton Manning would or wouldnt be a Colt by then.
Theres a growing sense that its going to be the Redskins, Mike noted, but said that would require adjusting that offense from Kyle Shanahans Madden approach where the coordinator completely controls the quarterback.
I dont think Peytons going to like that very much.

SEAF invested in Aqua Tudakul, an Uzbek fish-farming firm, in May 2004 to assist the company in its efforts to modernize its operations and upgrade its fleet. Through financial and business assistance from SEAF, Aqua Tudakul introduced state-of-the-art technology to the hatchery, constructed on-site housing for fishermen and staff, and purchased boats, generators, and a canal net for the lake. SEAF later made a second investment in the company to develop a processing plant with cold storage and freezing capabilities.
- Region: Asia
- Location(s): Navoi Region, Uzbekistan
- Investment Vehicle: Central Asia Small Enterprise Fund
- Industry: Commercial Fish Producing Farm
- Date of Initial Investment: May 2004
- Type of Investment: Equity
- Industry:Commercial Fish Producing Farm
Sustainably Expanding Production
In the years following the infusion of capital, Aqua Tudakul doubled and almost tripled the capacity and productivity of its hatchery through the installation of modern equipment. In addition, new reproduction techniques implemented by the firm with SEAF's assistance drastically increased the lake's fish population. Even with Aqua Tudakul's increased production, the company maintained its reputation for quality products and easily found a market for its increased supply.
Benefits to Employees
As a result of SEAF's involvement, the company's revenues and profits have more than doubled and the number of employees has grown from 61 in 2004 to 196 in 2009. Aqua Tudakul has had a profound impact on its employees, not only by increasing the number of people it employs, but also my improving the living conditions for the fisherman and other staff located on the lake. In contrast to competitor firms, Aqua Tudakul provides employees with housing, free meals, and warm work clothes. Additionally, the company helps its employees address financial difficulties, providing cash advances or loans to employees on a case-by-case basis.

He says yes, don't know why I feel, you kept Karwachauth fast for me, you said you did not eat food because of village trouble, it looks a lie. She says I will never keep fast for you. He calls her Jhuti and says you can't stay hungry for 2 days, you kept 2 days fast, you want to get me for 14 births, great wife. She says my mum says if wife keeps 2 days fast, bad things happen with husband, he goes blind. He asks what nonsense, you are joking, I don't believe this, does this happen really. She laughs.
He says you were joking, my mummy says if you joke bad with one who feeds you, stomach gets bad. They laugh. He says we are great enemies, if we were friends, our friendship would have been great.

She says did you feel I m so foolish, and you are so smart that I won't know if you add wine in my drink, see I had drunk another one. She recalls she has thrown wine. He says you are sharp minded, very few people can trick me.
Bhaiya ji and Ranjana come there. She gets shocked seeing Bhaiya ji and Ranjana. She tells Suraj that his dad is here. He asks what to do, if he sees me with you, he will understand I m not with him. She says there is just one exit way. He asks her to think fast. She hides under the table. He turns to hide face. Ranjana sees him and says Suraj. Suraj says Papa you…. Bhaiya ji says you here. Suraj says I came here to avoid Karwachauth and all. Ranjana says but there was food served for two here. Suraj says yes, my servant was with me.
Bhaiya ji asks where is he. Suraj says he was here, his sister got ill, so he had to leave, see time is going bad, there is no one to support me. Bhaiya ji says Ranjana, we will sit on this table, Suraj did good work, we will make him have sweets. Chakor gets tensed. Suraj sits with them. Bhaiya ji feeds sweets to Suraj. Chakor is sitting under table. Suraj says mosquitoes are bothering me, shall we sit near the fan, come. He takes them to other table. Bhaiya ji asks for menu.

Imli calls Vivaan and says I got info that Bhaiya ji and Ragini are announcing something in factory, inform Chakor. She ends call. Vivaan informs Chakor. She says don't know, what new plan he made now to ruin us.
Bhaiya ji comes to Ragini. He says I got milkshake for you, and tries to end her anger. She gets angry and says I got you free from jail, how did you accept Suraj, he tried to kill you. He says calm down, who said I will forgive Suraj, I made all this plan in jail. She asks what do you mean. He says I will say. Tejaswini gives tickets and asks Suraj to go away, Bhaiya ji will not forgive you, I think he is planning something dangerous against you. He says I know, but will you stay alone. She says I will also come with you. Bhaiya ji says I did not know Suraj's reaction, I got friendly with Suraj to know his weakness, so that I get chance to attack on him. Ragini smiles and says Suraj does not know he is going to die.
Suraj says I know there is danger, but I m not a coward to run away, you go, I will not have worry. She says no, you know parents can't leave children in danger, I can't leave you alone. He says don't worry, I know the danger, I will not die being unaware.
Ragini asks when will Suraj die. He says Diwali night, I m raising snake in sleeve since 25 years, Suraj cheated me, I will kill him first. He asks did Suraj and Chakor get divorced. She says they both signed, but papers did not get submitted in court, I have the papers and will submit soon. She recalls how she sent her goon to steal divorce papers. She says if Chakor does anything, we can proof Chakor is not Suraj's wife, we know they both hate each other, Chakor can't think to come back to haveli. Bhaiya ji says you are my daughter and gets glad. She says Vivaan can be beneficial for us, he is very sharp, we can use him, person gets needy and weak for family.
Vivaan and Chakor are on the way back home. He says Imli and I have seen many dreams of future, what will happen. Chakor says you are educated and smart, you will get any job. He says yes, I should work. Ragini says Vivaan knows to pull money, now he has no money, so we will find job, I want he does not get job anywhere, and we can use his talent. He says don't worry, I won't let Vivaan do work anywhere, I m going to village to make big announcement. Chakor asks Vivaan to drive faster. They reach village.
Bhaiya ji talks to everyone. He says Vivaan is foolish, but he is my family blood. He asks Imli to get Vivaan. He says he wants to gift all villagers for Diwali. They all get one rupee coins. Chakor asks one rupee? Bhaiya ji smiles.
Imli asks Chakor to focus on goal. Chakor says we have to focus to send Bhaiya ji and his helpers to jail. Suraj, Chakor, Imli and Vivaan join hands. Suraj says now we are together, we have more smartness and courage, we will win. Udaan hai….plays…………..

Three more defendants plead guilty for roles in California-to-West Virginia drug conspiracy
Los Angeles father and son each face up to 40 years; Mexican national faces up to 5 years
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Three defendants pleaded guilty today for their roles in a California-to-West Virginia methamphetamine conspiracy, announced United States Attorney Carol Casto. Rafael Garcia Serrato, 45, and Cesar Garcia, 20, a father and son from Los Angeles, each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. Marco Antonio Bojorquez-Rojas, 21, a Mexican national residing in California, pleaded guilty to interstate travel in furtherance of a drug crime.
Serrato and Garcia admitted that in March 2016, they, along with other codefendants, arranged to transport five pounds of methamphetamine from California to West Virginia. Serrato and Garcia further admitted that they packed a vehicle with the drugs. Serrato and Garcia also admitted that they maintained telephone contact with the vehicle as it traveled to West Virginia to keep apprised of the progress of the drug delivery. Garcia admitted that on March 25, 2016, he flew from Los Angeles to Huntington to collect money for the drugs being delivered to West Virginia. On March 26, 2016, law enforcement stopped the vehicle transporting the methamphetamine in South Charleston and recovered the drugs.
Bojorquez-Rojas admitted that in January 2016, he traveled with some of his codefendants to Charleston from California to collect money for methamphetamine that had been delivered to West Virginia. On January 11, 2016, law enforcement executed a search warrant on a hotel room where Bojorquez-Rojas and some his codefendants, including Serrato and Garcia, were staying and recovered a bag containing $12,000 cash. Bojorquez-Rojas also admitted that this cash was payment for a portion of the methamphetamine that had been delivered to West Virginia. Bojorquez-Rojas additionally admitted that in March 2016, he traveled from California to Huntington to collect money for methamphetamine that had been driven to Huntington by codefendants Kelly Newcomb and Cara Linn Monasmith. Shortly after the arrival of Bojorquez-Rojas in Huntington on March 19, 2016, law enforcement arrested him and three of his codefendants in a Huntington hotel room.
Serrato and Garcia face at least five and up to 40 years in federal prison when they are sentenced on December 6, 2016. Bojorquez-Rojas faces up to five years in federal prison when he is sentenced on December 7, 2016.
This prosecution is the result of a multi-agency investigation that led to an eight-count indictment implicating 14 defendants, including Serrato, Garcia, and Bojorquez-Rojas. All of their codefendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. As part of this conspiracy, Daniel Ortiz-Rivera, a Mexican national, and Velarian Sylvester Carter, of Beckley, previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine. Ortiz-Rivera is scheduled to be sentenced on October 11, 2016. Carter is scheduled to be sentenced on October 13, 2016. Additionally, three women who were used as mules to transport methamphetamine, Danielle Dessaray Estrada, of Los Angeles, Kelly Newcomb, of Nevada, and Cara Linn Monasmith, also of Nevada, pleaded guilty to interstate travel in furtherance of a drug crime. Estrada and Newcomb are scheduled to be sentenced on October 6, 2016. Monasmith is scheduled to be sentenced on November 8, 2016.
The FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Charleston Police Department, and the Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Network Team conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Rada Herrald is in charge of the prosecution. The plea hearing was held before United States District Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr.
This case is being prosecuted as part of an ongoing effort led by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of West Virginia to combat the illicit sale and misuse of illegal drugs, including methamphetamine. The U.S. Attorney's Office, joined by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, is committed to aggressively pursuing and shutting down pill trafficking, eliminating open air drug markets, and curtailing the spread of illegal drugs in communities across the Southern District.

Hello and welcome to the first ever Messy Monday!
Messy Monday is a weekly linky where you can add all your activity posts; be it messy play, sensory tubs, arts and crafts or baking.
The linky will run though until the weekend, so you can add posts throughout the week.
Each week i'll post an activity we've done and then you can add yourself into the linky at the bottom,simple as that :)
This week with Easter coming up we have been painting with eggs.
I took 2 hardboiled eggs and added them to an old plate with paints on and let Seb roll them in the paint and then onto some card. He needed no instruction and quickly got into rolling the eggs through the colours and then putting them on the paper, sometimes rolling them, other times using them in a crayon like way.
We ended up with some pretty pictures and also some pretty eggs!
So now it's your turn, add your links below.
All i ask is that you link back to my blog or display the Messy Monday badge(in my sidebar) on your post, and please try to visit the others who join in.
If you tweet me @sebsmummy with a link to your post, i will retweet :)

Atlanta Braves hurler Tim Hudson on Tuesday night became the 90th pitcher since 1901 to win 200 games in a career. Hudson's Braves defeated the Washington Nationals 8-1. Hudson allowed only three hits and one earned run over seven innings. He struck six in his third win of the season.
Here's a few interesting stats re: Hudson joining the 200-win club:
•Hudson is the third active pitcher to have 200-plus wins. Andy Pettitte has won 248 games; Roy Halladay is one victory ahead of Hudson with 201.
•Of all the pitchers with 200-plus wins, Hudson is tied with Pettitte with the fewest number of complete games, 25.

eBook (ePub)
Price: $1.99
There are cook books and cook books, and their generation is not ended; a generation that began in the Garden of Eden, presumably, for if Mother Eve was not vastly different from her daughters she knew how to cook some things better than her neighbors, and they wanted to know how she made them and she wanted to tell them. Indeed, it has been stated that the very first book printed, a small affair, consisted mainly of recipes for "messes" of food, and for remedies for diseases common in growing families.

Green Flashing Snail – JOG ON!
Green flashes for go away! This marine intertidal known colloquially as the Yellow-Coated Clusterwink or Jockiwink snail, and formally Hinea brasiliana (Lamarck, 1822) in the family Planaxidae is found on Australia's Eastern seaboard.
When disturbed it reacts quickly – with a series of green flashes. It can register annoyance for approximately 30 minutes at a time.
Not bad for a 21mm (0.8 inch) gastropod.
Dimitri Deheyn from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego studies bioluminescence and has worked on these light emitting gastropods to discover the mechanism and delivery methods that create the pulses and glow.
Clusterwink snails defend themselves by retracting into the shell spire and omitting a pulsing light. The snail only emits a blue – green light. The flashes illuminate the whole shell amplifies the rays, akin to a dog raising it's hackles in defence to look bigger and more fierce. Tests carried out by the Deheyn Lab found that when a white light beam was projected, most wavelengths passed through successfully (~75%) except, interestingly, for the blue-green portion. Individual colours, red, blue, etc. just didn't work. Further tests with a carefully calibrated beam of blue – green light shone into the shell aperture showed a scattering of light throughout the calcium structure. This begs the question how is the shell structured in order to amplifies and scatter light so effectively? And, how can this be unique crystalline structure that amplifies light be applied to some gain in manufacturing, for instance?
Bioluminescence is a well documented feature of many organisms throughout the different taxa. Light emissions through the body or by way of bodily excretion are thought to distract and confuse potential predators or as a diversionary tactic signalling the position of predating attackers to even larger predators – so the primary prey may escape. The tropical land snail Dyakia striata (Family Dyakiidae) also flashes green and produces glow in the dark eggs. The earthworm Diplocardia longa is a blue flasher leaving trails of glowing blue slime. Insects – fire fly; marine crustaceans – ostracods; cephlapods, scale worms, jelly fish, bacteria, fungi, coral, phytoplankton species and other marine, freshwater and terrestrial organisms exhibit light emitting traits. The colour range is ususally between the blue and green wavelengths but red bioluminescence is also observed in some predatory deep sea barbeled dragon fish.
Next time you are out and about be sure to look for natures fairy lights – bioluminescent is everywhere!

Memorandum of Understanding Between the Government of Canada and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
For readers interested in the PDF version, the document is available for download or viewing:
The Renewed Canadian HIV Vaccine Initiative (PDF Document - 2.85 Mb - 9 pages)
The Minister of Health, on behalf of the Department of Health, the Public Health Agency of Canada, The Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Minister for International Cooperation, on behalf of the Canadian International Development Agency, and the Minister of Industry, on behalf of Industry Canada
(hereinafter referred to as The Government of Canada)
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
July 2010
1. Preamble
The Government of Canada (GoC) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on August 17, 2006. The objective of the MOU was to formalize a collaboration to further strengthen global efforts to accelerate the development of HIV vaccines and to contribute to the achievement of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise's Scientific Strategic Plan (SSP). The Canadian HIV Vaccine Initiative (CHVI) was established by the Government of Canada to serve as the vehicle for implementing the MOU. The GoC and the BMGF are collectively referred to as the Participants.
There have been significant recent developments in the HIV vaccines domain including recent proof of concept demonstrated by the RV144 HIV vaccine trial in Thailand and the 2010 update of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise's SSP. These developments provide a greater impetus for global HIV vaccine development efforts, which are essential for stopping the HIV epidemic worldwide. At the same time, there remains a need to support existing prevention interventions among those most affected, particularly in low-and-middle income countries (low-and-middle-income countries). Through this MOU, the GoC and the BMGF wish to identify new areas of focus for the collaboration. This MOU replaces the 2006 MOU.
2. The Participants
Government of Canada
The GoC participants in this MOU are the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), Industry Canada (IC), Canadian Institutes of Health research (CIHR) and Health Canada (HC). PHAC provides horizontal coordination for activities undertaken by the GoC under the MOU.
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The BMGF is an independent, privately endowed charitable foundation that is located in Seattle, Washington U.S.A., which has as one of its missions the reduction of global health inequities by accelerating the development, deployment and sustainability of health interventions that will save lives and dramatically reduce the disease burden in developing countries. The BMGF, through its Global Health Program, supports a number of HIV/AIDS-related projects and aligns its HIV vaccine activities with the SSP of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise.
3. Objectives
The objective of this MOU is to renew the collaboration between the GoC and the BMGF. The collaboration represents a key component of Canada's comprehensive approach to HIV prevention in Canada and internationally. The collaboration aligns with GoC approach to HIV prevention as well as that of the BMGF.
Building on the recent results from the RV144 vaccine clinical trial, the primary objective of the collaboration is to accelerate the development of a safe and effective HIV vaccine by building on Canada's scientific excellence for the benefit of those most in need in low-and-middle-income countries (particularly in Africa) but also in Canada. This represents a significant contribution to the achievement of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise's SSP.
In addition to supporting these joint HIV vaccine development efforts, the MOU also includes GoC activities that will seek to improve the efficacy and effectiveness of available interventions, specifically the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV in low-and-middle-income countries. The GoC and the BMGF recognize the need to slow the spread of HIV by strengthening existing prevention interventions, while the development of an HIV vaccine is actively pursued.
4. Key Areas of Focus
Harnessing and capitalizing on Canadian leadership and expertise where applicable, the MOU will include activities in two key areas of focus.
For HIV Vaccine Research and Development, funding will be provided by the GoC and the BMGF to support activities that span the continuum of HIV vaccine research and development efforts in the private and public sectors including academic institutions. This includes: advancing the basic science of HIV vaccines in Canada and in low-and-middle-income countries focussing on discovery and social research; translating the basic science of HIV vaccines into clinical trials in humans in low-and-middle-income countries including technology development; and addressing the enabling conditions in Canada and in low-and-middle-income countries for HIV vaccine research and development with a focus on strengthening the capacity of low-and-middle-income country national regulatory authorities and ethical review.
The GoC and the BMGF will provide funding for the establishment of a Canada-based Alliance for HIV vaccine research and development, comprised of a network of public and private sector organizations with expertise in HIV/AIDS and vaccines fields, to serve as the focal point for Canadian research, product development and technical expertise related to HIV vaccines (the Alliance). The Alliance will be linked to low-and-middle-income country research institutions particularly in Africa to leverage local expertise and knowledge, build on cooperative research and policy initiatives, and expand needed local capacity. Funding will be provided by the GoC to establish the CHVI Research & Development Alliance Coordinating Office (ACO) to support the development and maintenance of the Alliance. The ACO will report to PHAC as per the terms and conditions of its funding agreement. The ACO will be selected based on pre-established eligibility criteria through an open and transparent call for applications.
For HIV Prevention, funding will be provided by the GoC under this MOU to enhance access, quality and uptake of services to prevent mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, by determining innovative and effective implementation strategies and programmatic solutions to overcome existing barriers and bottlenecks and to enhance PMTCT service delivery. Opportunities for synergies will be explored in countries where other CHVI activities are being implemented. The Participants recognize that the BMGF is highly supportive of these activities and provides funding for similar and related initiatives outside the implementation of this MOU. The BMGF will not be providing funding for PMTCT under this MOU but will collaborate with the GoC.
The GoC and the BMGF will work together to further define the specific initiatives to be supported by the MOU. Once identified, these specific initiatives will be described in a separate appendix to be added to this MOU.
5. Financial Contributions
The total initial contribution available through the collaboration is up to $139M plus additional potential contributions as described below.
The GoC total contribution of $111M includes $26M of previously existing funding plus $85M of newly allocated funds. The BMGF is prepared, in principle, to contribute up to $28M, representing a 1:3 match of newly allocated Canadian funding. A notional breakdown of the funds to be allocated to each focus area is presented in Appendix 1.
Of the GoC contribution, $51M has already been disbursed or committed to support HIV vaccine activities pursuant to the MOU of 2006 (See Appendix 2). The GoC is prepared, in principle, to provide the remaining of up to $60M in additional funding to support activities in the two key areas of focus outlined in the MOU. The Participants may agree to modify these allocations.
In addition, the BMGF is prepared to contribute up to an additional $12 million, for a total maximum contribution by the BMGF of up to $40 million should new sources of funding be identified by the GoC. The additional contribution will be determined based on the same 1:3 matching formula whereby the BMGF will provide $1 dollar for every $3 additional new dollars invested by the GoC in the collaboration. Any additional future contribution to be provided by the BMGF and the GoC will be allocated among areas of focus by mutual agreement of the Participants.
It is understood that the provision of funding for any initiative or project is subject to the respective Participant's internal review and approval procedures, and the signing of individual funding agreement(s) between the funding organization (GoC or BMGF) and the recipient(s).
It is understood that the Participants' activities will be structured and implemented in a manner consistent with applicable laws and policies, as well as in a manner consistent with Canada's international obligations.
6. Governance
The GoC and the BMGF will establish an Advisory Board to oversee the implementation of the MOU and to provide recommendations to CHVI Ministers and the BMGF on projects to be funded that are aligned with the MOU's Key Areas of Focus. Final decisions regarding projects to be funded rest with responsible CHVI Ministers and the BMGF, subject to their respective internal review and approval procedures. The GoC and the BMGF will also seek advice from the Advisory Board on the selection of the ACO which will play a critical role in identifying specific HIV vaccine projects and in coordinating the activities of the Alliance.
The GoC and the BMGF will develop formal terms of reference for the Board. The terms of reference will address, among other things, the following:
- Mandate, role and responsibilities;
- Membership;
- Frequency and method of meetings;
- Sub-committees;
- Secretariat support; and
- Communications.
7. Separate Agreements
The GoC and the BMGF may develop separate agreements outlining their respective roles and responsibilities in relation to specific programs, initiatives or projects that they agree to support under this MOU. These agreements may cover such things as funding levels, delivery, administration and monitoring procedures, as well as activities associated with program evaluation and review.
8. Planning, Monitoring and Reporting
Semi-annual progress reports will be reviewed by the GoC and the BMGF on activities covered in this MOU for planning and monitoring purposes.
9. Communication and Consultations
Communications with stakeholders will be conducted in a coordinated and timely manner, and the GoC and the BMGF will work together to ensure consistency in all communications. When appropriate, a senior-level communications committee will be convened with representatives from all participants under this MOU.
Consultations with stakeholders will strive to be inclusive, transparent and use existing opportunities for engagement where possible.
Stakeholder and expert consultations will be held within 180 days of the signing of the MOU to seek input on potential initiatives. The GoC and the BMGF may consider providing annual updates on progress to key domestic and international stakeholders through such vehicles as the respective GoC & BMGF websites, and conferences.
Neither Participant shall use the other Participant's name or identifiers without prior consent of the Participant in each case.
10. Coming into Force/Duration/Amendment
This MOU comes into force, for a five-year period, on the day of signature by the Participants. Either Participant may terminate this MOU with a 90-day written notice. This document may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original. The Participants may amend this MOU by mutual consent and in writing.
11. French and English versions
Both the English and French versions of this MOU are equally authoritative and each reflects the intention of the Participants.
12. Non-Binding at Law; Non-Exclusive
This MOU does not create legally binding obligations between the parties. This MOU is entered into a non-exclusive basis, such that neither Participant shall be restricted from making any arrangements or agreements with any third party for direct or indirect support of or contribution to any activities that are similar to those described in this MOU.

Back in 2007, multi-award winning musician Robbie Williams was admitted to a rehabilitation center for treatment of caffeine addiction. Apparently, he was doing something like 36 double espressos and 20 Red Bull cans per day (Gordon, 2007).
Ever since Red Bull hit the market in 1997, the energy drink business has exploded into a multibillion-dollar industry. An aggressive marketing campaign has seen energy drinks become one of the most popular performance-boosting supplements in the market.
Despite their perceived benefits, energy drinks have been associated with a number of health issues. Energy drinks often contain high levels of caffeine, for instance, 80 mg in Monster energy drink. 500 mg of caffeine is considered an overdose, so, if you were to take about 6 cans of Monster, you would be putting your health at great risk.

Palanga resort, filled with the bustle of holidaymakers in summer, is often titled as the country's summer capital. During the warm season crowds of residents and foreign visitors come here tempted by the blue waves of the Baltic Sea and its sandy beaches. Loud music emanating from the bars, nightly entertainment, extreme water recreation, sanatoriums, cultural and sightseeing attractions means that everyone here can find the best way to relax and have fun.
Palanga sightseeing
Basanavičiaus is the main street in the town. It has become the most popular strolling place in summer, always vibrant with life: it has the highest number of cafes, bars, pubs, music, dancing and other entertainment. This street leads towards the bridge of Palanga. The bridge is extending to the Baltic Sea for 470 m is one of the symbols of the town without which it is difficult to imagine the resort. Every night crowds of holidaymakers come on it to farewell the sunset.
Other no less attractive place of the town is the beautiful Tiškevičiai palace, and the huge surrounding park designed by E. Andre. The park has more than 230 species of trees and shrubs, its ponds are filled with white swans while a quite high sand dune reminds of the former pagan temple that once has been standing in the place. But most visited is the Amber Museum situated in Tiškevičiai palace. It introduces the diversity and history of the "Lithuanian gold", and the exhibition is famous of the world's largest collection of inclusions. At the end of summer concerts and poetry evenings are organised on the impressive terrace of the palace.
Fun for every traveller
Palanga can be called the summer capital town also because this resort town has a big and abundant selection of entertainment keeping away the boredom:
- Those who like to attend events can choose from more than 600 offers. During the summer season opening, Palanga offers various choirs and popular music festivals, classical music evenings, car racing, international dog shows and different sporting events.
- Those looking for entertainment until the early hours of the day can dance in many nightclubs, some of which are even located on the beach. You do not have to look far away for tasty food: Palanga has to offer hundreds of different restaurants, cafes, bars and casinos.
- Those who like active recreation can travel in Palanga and around on bikes, try a horseback riding, rent water bicycles or motorcycles, stop by the tennis courts, have a fun in SPAs and swim in the pools.
- Those looking for peace can relax in sanatoriums, quietly walk in magnificent parks or pine forests, stroll on the sand at the seaside or visit the attractions of Palanga.

Imagined Community: Reading a Pro-Hamas Newspaper
At first glance, you might say that Dick Cheney couldn't have put it better himself. The preelection issue of Al-Zaytouna--a pro-Hamas Arabic-language newspaper printed in Bridgeview, Illinois--endorses John Kerry for president. "The question is not so much whether John Kerry is better than George Bush," writes editor-in-chief Usama Abu Irsheid on the biweekly's front page, "but whether we want four more years of Bush." (The paper is published in Arabic; translations are mine.) He says the Patriot Act has "been cast upon our necks like a sharp sword" and declares that it would be "nihilistic on the part of our community not to vote, particularly as the very future of our existence in this country is at issue." Republicans might be inclined to take heart at what amounts to a backhanded compliment: the concern on the part of prominent Palestinian Islamists that their embattled infrastructure in America will be totally snuffed out unless Bush goes home to Texas.
The political preferences of a pro-Hamas newspaper are, obviously, irrelevant. (You could easily find equally awful people--say, Klan members--expressing vigorous support for Bush.) What's noteworthy here is that somewhere between the claim of "racist assaults on our religion" and familiar tropes assailing the administration's policy toward Israel lies the blurring of a key distinction--between America's millions-strong Muslim community on the one hand, and the subset who actively support Islamist militancy on the other. Whether this ethnically diverse community has truly closed ranks or a pro-Hamas editor is merely pretending it has, there's a problem here that Democrats and Republicans alike will need to address after next Tuesday.
A sense of embattlement often brings people together who would otherwise disagree. Four years ago, a sense of embattlement brought together secular Muslims, radical Islamists--and, of all people, Bush. After the talks in Camp David between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat broke down, and the second intifada broke out, esteem among Arab Americans for a White House-brokered peace hit an historic low. The new alliance of PLO and Islamist fighters in the Palestinian territories was echoed by expressions of solidarity among secular and Islamist-leaning Arabs and other Muslims in the United States. "The majority [of American Muslims] determined to vote for the Republican candidate at that time ... against the Democrat Al Gore and his running mate Joe Lieberman," writes the Al-Zaytouna editor, "...the position of the community having been largely determined as the result of a call from Islamic institutions which had gathered together ... to establish a clear choice for the direction of the American Arab and Muslim vote." I recall visiting several American mosques during that period and noticing leaflets signed jointly by the leaders of Saudi-funded Islamist groups in the United States--overwhelmingly Palestinian and Egyptian imams--urging the faithful to vote for Bush.
After Bush's inauguration, many of the same imams engaged in some public boasting. After all, the swing state of Florida hosts a large Muslim community and just a few hundred votes had made the difference. Illinois-based cleric Jamal Sa'id, an outspoken supporter of Palestine's "Islamic resistance," praised a large crowd in Arabic at a fund-raising event I attended in Chicago for the Islamic Association for Palestine, declaring that their votes may have altered history. Palestinian Islamic leaders including Nihad Awad of the Council on American Islamic Relations and Abdel Rahman Alamoudi of the American Muslim Council each appeared on Middle Eastern satellite television hailing the Bush victory as evidence of their community's newfound political prowess. Glib claims of having tipped the electoral scale apparently became part of the fund-raising pitch for these organizations, both in the United States and overseas. They determined that both their fundraising power and their political prestige depended on their ability to make the American Muslim community seem to be a coherent whole, capable of speaking--and voting--with a single voice.
Now, of course, the same Islamist leaders are regretting their support of Bush--some from behind bars. Alamoudi was indicted by John Ashcroft's Justice Department in March 2004 for allegedly receiving $340,000 from Libya--a sanctions violation. The Islamic Association for Palestine, which used to appear on Al-Zaytouna's masthead, is a shadow of its former self, as numerous key staffers have been named in a 50-count terrorism indictment. So is its fund-raising affiliate, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. Indeed, for the tightly-knit community of Wahhabi-oriented activists in the United States, the claim that Bush-era justice has landed "upon our necks like a sharp sword" is barely an exaggeration.
But which necks exactly are on the line? And how many don't deserve to be there? Al-Zaytouna makes its opinion clear. The pages of recent issues contain pointed coverage of each new indictment, uniformly asserting the innocence of those charged. In the October 15 edition, a favorable review of a new book, Silent Victims: The Plight of Arab & Muslim Americans in Post-9/11 America, reinforces the notion that all Arab and Muslim Americans are under siege in the United States today, regardless of their politics, regardless of their actual innocence or guilt.
Muslim groups that do not toe the Wahhabi line, on the other hand, tend to take a more nuanced view. For example, Ahmed al-Rahim of the American Islamic Congress told a Washington think tank in late 2003 of his "embarrassment" at the arrest of "prominent members of the old guard Muslim leadership. ... Now it seems that the government is beginning to crack down--at least on direct ties to terror states and terror groups. It is a case of chickens coming home to roost." Other Arab and Muslim organizations have hailed some of the major terror indictments of the past year in press releases of their own. Middle Eastern immigrant communities undoubtedly suffer from a unique social stigma in the United States, particularly after September 11, and baseless arrests have occurred far too often. But the assertion that the community faces a plight akin to Japanese Americans during the Second World War, as Al-Zaytouna's review of Silent Victims suggests, is not accepted by all American Muslims.
Whether Kerry or Bush wins the election, the new administration will face the challenge of engaging a polarized Arab and Muslim-American community, both as constituents and as partners in the struggle against militant groups. There is a crisis of leadership among the various organizations, their members, and a larger number of Muslims who do not identify communally. The "community" has not fully extricated the extremists in its midst--nor has it closed ranks as the pages of Al-Zaytouna would have us believe.

Results from a new study conducted at Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, suggest that a well-known drug may be effective in reducing blood loss and need for transfusion resulting from knee and hip arthroplasty. The medication, tranexamic acid, or TXA, has been in widespread use for the treatment of hemophilia, uterine bleeding, and in heart surgery. Based on a retrospective review of 4,449 patients, the research team concluded that administration of TXA either intravenously or topically reduced blood transfusion rates by more than 50% during joint replacement procedures. The findings were presented earlier this week at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
According to Geoffrey Westrich, MD, senior study author and director of research, adult reconstruction and joint replacement service at HSS, the study was undertaken in response to conflicting information over the safety of TXA, and anti-fibrinolytic whose mechanism of action reduced bleeding, in knee and hip arthroplasty. Dr. Westrich noted that, in addition to confirmation of efficacy, the study found no statistically significant difference in blood clots in patients receiving topical or IV TXA. Read a press release about the study and conclusions here.

Thus is the beat stroller. Super easy and compact to travel with as well as storing it. Stroller itself is small enough to use in stores. Loce that i can put the car seat right on the stroller
Super safe and comfortable.I took the Staples protectors off this because they're bad for your kids.It scooped down so the baby is more protected.
I can't even explain how hard has been for me using this stroller! Way too heavy for me the car seat was just ok but the stroller is a nightmare. Not recommend.
Got this set for my baby shower. I loved the car seat but stroller not so much. The stroller was only good until like 3 months.

It is extremely helpful for me.Amazing post and everyone has submit their mature views regarding this,I very interested in the article,people pay more attention to high quality life style. High quality means ,comfortable and healthy,Thanks for sharing the info.Regards,
its so sweet but this is only for rich child not for poor child.
That's for the fat, lazy rich kids. This one's way cooler IMO, & keeps 'em fit (Vienna, Austria 2008):
The Shriners started with mini Corvettes themselves in the 1970s (as close as anyone can tell).
How cute! I just hope that the person driving the child sized Ferrari is responsible and never gets a child-sized DUI.

Pore fluid was extracted from 50- to 100-cm3 aliquots of wet sediment extruded from a subcorer into the stainless steel cylinder of a Manheim-type sediment squeezer (Manheim and others, 1994). The chamber was then sealed with a Teflon® disk and butyl rubber gasket, and a stainless steel piston was inserted into the top of the cylinder. The chamber was placed in a hydraulic press and compressed, forcing pore fluid, methane gas, and a small amount of air through a filter and conduit and into a 30-ml syringe attached to the squeezing apparatus. The syringe was removed after no more fluid was produced from the squeezer, and fitted with a stainless steel needle. The gas and liquid contents of the syringe were injected through a rubber septum into a pre-evacuated serum vial. All samples were preserved by adding 0.2 ml saturated HgCl2 solution per ml of sample and stored at room temperature. Typically, 3-8 ml of water and <5 ml of gas were recovered from each interval. Duplicate samples were collected from intervals that produced especially large volumes of pore fluid. The error for replicate measurements was less than 7% or 1.1 mM. Samples were transported to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) on June 21 and were analyzed within 48 hours.
Because of time constraints and porewater yields that were lower than expected, additional aliquots of unoxidized sediment samples were extruded from subcorers and collected directly in Whirl-Pak® bags for later analysis. The bags were compressed to remove air and sealed. Sealed bags were covered with moist peat moss shortly after collection to exclude oxygen. These samples were taken to a shore-based laboratory at the Maryland Geological Survey (MGS) in Baltimore, Maryland, and stored in a refrigerator until they could be centrifuged to separate porewater for additional analyses.
The headspace volume in the vial was collected and measured in a syringe by displacing the gas from the vial with nitrogen-sparged water until all of the headspace gas entered the syringe. The plunger of the syringe was allowed to equilibrate to atmospheric pressure before the volume was measured. The sample was injected through a manual valve with a sample loop, allowed to equilibrate to atmospheric pressure, and carried to the flame ionization detector of a Shimadzu GC-14A gas chromatograph equipped with a Hayesep-Q 80/100 packed column (Alltech). The column temperature was set at 40° C to prevent thermal degradation of the methane during separation. The headspace concentrations of CH4 were quantified in units of ppm on a volume/volume basis (ppmv) by referencing the peak areas to those generated from CH4 standard gases (Scott Specialty Gas, Plumbsteadville, PA).
Following the analysis of the sample headspace, the dissolved methane remaining in the porewater sample was measured by the headspace equilibration technique described by McAuliffe (1971). The sample was drawn into a syringe that was subsequently filled with an equal volume of nitrogen gas. Methane was extracted from the solution by vigorously shaking the syringe for 2 minutes. Multiple nitrogen extractions were performed (usually two) until at least 99% of the methane dissolved in the sample was removed. The quantity of methane measured in the original sample headspace analysis was added to the quantity of dissolved methane measured by the headspace equilibration technique to give the total methane extracted from the sample. The pore water methane concentration was calculated using the ideal gas law.

Natrona County Clebrates National School Nurses Day May 8th
They've treated thousands of runny noses and tended to many banged up knees. For the nurses who provide care in the Natrona County School District, their jobs are much more than handing over a tissue or applying a bandage. National School Nurses Day is May 8, 2013. This year's theme, "Advocacy, Access, Achievement: Leading the Way," showcases how significant a school nurse is for the health of our children.
Within the Natrona County School District, 20 nurses provide care to the students and staff. Four of these nurses have master's degrees in nursing and nine of them are Nationally Certified School Nurses. During the 2011-12 school year, NCSD's nurses had over 113,000 student contacts. These contacts include everything from treating illnesses to promotion of healthy lifestyles to saving lives.
School nurses play a valuable role in promoting prevention and wellness. A healthy child is a learning child. School nurses are often the first interaction with a sick child and often the first line of defense.
NCSD's nurses have also provided care and consults more than 3-thousand times to staff during the 11-12 school year. They worked in cooperation with the local health department to ensure compliance on the state's mandate for chickenpox vaccination.
"Providing world class nursing care to our students and staff is our top priority. We are committed to the District's goal of Safe and Healthy People by maintaining environments that are physically and mentally safe and healthy for everyone," said Suzey Delger, MSN, FNP-c, Nursing Coordinator, NCSD.
The district's nurses continue their learning journey as some of them attended the National Nurses Association of School Nurses Annual Conference, the Denver Children's Annual Pediatric Community and School Health Conference, the Wyoming Meth Conference, and Wyoming Medical Center's Emergency Nurse Pediatric Course.

After last year's holiday hiring frenzy, retailers are showing more restraint in ramping up their staff for the crucial holiday shopping season.
Toys R Us became the latest retailer to announce its seasonal hiring plans on Monday, saying it plans to add 45,000 employees to staff its stores and distribution centers. This is roughly on par with its hiring plans last year.
After a surge in overall holiday hiring last year to a 12-year high, shaky consumer confidence and increased retail efficiency and online shopping may prevent similar gains again, according to an outlook from Challenger, Gray & Christmas released Monday.
"Whether it is related to increased online shopping or the shakiness in consumer confidence, the expectation that there will be fewer people in the stores could prompt some retailers to reduce the number of extra people they will need on the sales floor," said John A. Challenger, the executive outplacement firm's chief executive officer, in a release.
(Read more: Holiday sales forecast moderately higher)
Retailers' increased reliance on big data could also mean slower growth in holiday hires.
Target, which plans to hire about 20 percent fewer seasonal workers, is one such retailer looking to use spending data to adjust its plans.

Everyone knows (and if you don't, you should) that the massive, beautiful SUNY Administration building sprawled across the plaza along Broadway at State Street was, when built in 1915 by Marcus Reynolds, the headquarters of the Delaware and Hudson (D&H) railroad. (With a little bit of Evening Journal headquarters thrown in.) But fewer than twenty years before that, the D&H occupied far less capacious quarters at the corner of North Pearl Street and Steuben Place. The building still stands, right across from the Steuben Athletic Club.
In 1891, Brandow Publishing's "The New Albany" gushed about the new D&H building. "Comparisons may be odious, but people will make them for all that, and the policy of the D.&H. stands in striking contrast with at least one other road which enters this city, and enriches itself at our expense. . . Whenever opportunity offered, its officers have come forward cheerfully and willingly to assist in a substantial manner any enterprise likely to benefit the city of Albany." It's unlikely that little poke at the New York Central caused Cornelius Vanderbilt to spit out his caviar in anger, but there's no question the D.&H. ultimately left a bigger legacy in the capital city.
"One of the most striking instances of its enterprise and public spirit . . . is shown in the erection of a building for the general offices of the company . . . directly opposite the elegant structure of the Young Men's Christian Association, and on one of the most conspicuous and commanding sites in the city." The railroad had its sights set on Broadway, near the steamboat landing, but could not make it work, and the YMCA found itself needing to sell this property in order to start the Harmanus Bleecker Library.
"Such a building would be a credit to and attract favorable attention in any city in the state. Its erection is warranted at this time by the fact that the present quarters of the company, on Maiden Lane, are entirely inadequate, their business having increased four-fold within the past decade, and bidding fair to increase as much more before the close of the century. The ever growing popularity of the summer resorts to which this road is the only route, the development of the Dominion of Canada, and its inevitable closer connections with the commercial interests of the United States; the sure and steady demand for the great coal product of Pennsylvania – these are factors which denote, with absolute certainty, the successful future of the D.&H."
The writer predicted that the new building would stand "forever as a monument to the enterprise and progressive spirit of a great railroad corporation." No question those words would apply, but not to this nearly forgotten building along Pearl Street. Just so, it wasn't long before those same factors of success would render this handsome pile wholly inadequate, and the D.&H. would turn again to the site on Broadway they had originally fancied, resulting in one of Albany's most distinctive landmarks.

It's Rose's speed that earned him the trophy at the PlayStation Skills Challenge over All-Star weekend, a competition Rose had never really seen until he played the virtual version in Sony's NBA 09: The Inside just a few hours before the event.
"I'm glad I played the game earlier," he told me after he won. "It helped."
As for the big dunk to close the contest, was Rose in the wrong event Saturday night? Should he have been taking on Kryptonite and Superman?
"No, not at all" he says. "I can jump but I'm not creative."
Here's what else Rose had to say as I sat with him inside the PlayStation player's suite during NBA All-Star weekend as Sony designed a custom red PS3 for him with the name "Pooh-1" laser-etched across the top.
