Arsenal, Cardiff City, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Sunderland, Tottenham and West Bromwich Albion feature.
This weekend is another big one. It's the last weekend in March and there is still plenty to be resolved at both the top and bottom of the Premier League. Three points cover the top three in the title race whilst just the four points cover the bottom five in the battle to avoid relegation.
So, here are our ten players to watch in this weekend's Premier League action:
Steven Gerrard
A lot has been said about Gerrard walking a tightrope as he is one booking away from a two game suspension at a critical point in Liverpool's title challenge. However, like he showed against Sunderland, he is also coming up with some crucial moments for the Reds as they look to secure their first league title in 24 years. Will he come up with another piece of inspiration against Tottenham on Sunday?
Gylfi Sigurdsson
Sigurdsson has said he doesn't regret opting for a move to Tottenham instead of this weekend's opponents Liverpool despite the two side's respective fortunes this season. The Iceland international scored a late winner for Spurs against Southampton to keep alive their faint hopes of making it into the top four. Can he provide another key moment in their season at the weekend?
Yaya Toure
Toure has been in terrific form of late and has become City's top goalscorer in the league as they look to be in control of the title race. A difficult game this weekend awaits as they take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium – even if the Gunners have hit a rocky patch. If he is given the space by the home side, expect Toure to thrive once again.
John Terry
Terry has had a terrific season at the back for Chelsea as they travel to Selhurst Park to come up against the difficult, and physical threat of Tony Pulis's Crystal Palace side. Every point matters in this title race, and Chelsea won't want to slip up in what is a potential banana skin.
Thomas Vermalen
The Arsenal defence really needs to tighten up after the past two disappointing results against Chelsea and Swansea, and with Laurent Koscielny out injured, responsibility at the back falls to Vermalen against Manchester City. If City start as quickly as they did at Old Trafford it is going to be a big effort from the Arsenal backline to get through unscathed.
Juan Mata
Mata was poor in the Manchester derby against Manchester City, but this weekend brings about an opportunity to put that behind them as Manchester United take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford. With no Robin Van Persie, Mata may get his opportunity in a more central position again this weekend, but he - along with the rest of the United side - need to step up their performance level.
Ross Barkley
Barkley has thrown his hat into the ring for goal of the season after his terrific solo effort against Newcastle United in the week helped Everton close in to withinsix points of the top four. It's two in two now for the 20-year-old, and he certainly has the quality to inspire a late surge for the Toffees to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Ki Sung-Yeung
Monday night sees a massive game for Sunderland at the Stadium of Light against West Ham United, one they feel they must take three points from in order to give their Premier League survival bid a big boost. Ki is a player who can pull the strings in the middle of the park, and can have a cool head in pressure situations. For those reasons, his performance could have a big effect on the outcome between the two sides.
Jordon Mutch
Mutch showed against Liverpool that he has so much to his game. He has a good touch, a good eye for goal and a big aerial presence. Cardiff City travel to relegation rivals West Bromwich Albion this weekend, and a big performance from Mutch could be vital if the Bluebirds are to boost their survival chances.
Stephane Sessegnon
Sessegnon spent a fairly lengthy period on the sidelines but returned for West Brom's win over Swansea City. The Baggies will be keen to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Hull City, and Sessegnon has the creativity and unpredictability to make it a difficult afternoon for Cardiff City. He could well be the man to pop up with the match winner if the Baggies are victorious at The Hawthorns.

Condom Manufacturer Handing Out Vibrators From "Pleasure Carts" On Streets Of New York
Don't get pleasure carts mixed up with hot dog carts in New York City.
Tourists and residents alike can pick up their free vibrators at Trojan Vibrations Pleasure Carts — modeled after New York's ubiquitous hot dog carts – parked at specific locations around town. The two vibrator styles, Trojan Tri-Phoria Intimate Massager and Trojan Pulse Intimate Massager, which first launched in 2010, usually retail for $30 and $40 apiece.
"We're always looking for ways to advance this effort by fostering an open dialogue about sexual health and creating unique moments that get people 'buzzing' about sex and pleasure," Bruce Weiss, Trojan's vice president for marketing, said in a statement.Click here for reuse options!

Henry Kissinger's special commission for Central America is supposed to report to President Reagan in December about what the President calls ''the first real communist aggression on the American mainland.''
But will December be too late?
Mr. Reagan asserts that the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua and the rebel insurgents in El Salvador are being directed from Cuba and the Soviet Union.
Opinions among journalists and among diplomats from most other countries who work in the area raise doubts about the actual degree of Soviet and Cuban involvement.
But there is no serious doubt anywhere about the way the fighting in the two countries is going. Reports from the area, by journalists, by diplomats including Americans, and also from military advisers working with the right-wingers in the two countries, agree that the right-wing cause could be lost before December.
The right-wing ''contras'' who with US weapons, training, and support have been trying for a year now to make a solid lodgment inside Nicaragua, have been able to conduct hit-and-run raids, blow up some bridges, spoil some crops, and kill a few people. But they have not been able to take and hold an important city or portion of the country. They have probably strengthened the regime with the mass of the people. There has been no evidence of a popular inclination to join with the invaders.
In El Salvador where the fighting between right and left has been going on for three and a half years, the government army, in spite of American weapons and training and a 3-to-1 superiority in numbers, controls less of the country today than ever and seems to be incapable of gaining and holding the initiative.
President Reagan has done his best to rouse US public opinion to his cause. But according to the polls the American public continues to be having difficulty grasping the difference between Sandinistas (left) and Salvadoreans (right). There continues to be general public apathy which is reflected in Congress by extreme reluctance to put up more money for the rightists in Central America.
In other words, President Reagan is in a situation similar to the one Richard Nixon inherited from Lyndon Johnson in the later stages of the Vietnam war. He is waging an undeclared war against the government of Nicaragua and the insurgents in El Salvador. He is backing the unpopular side in Nicaragua. Public opinion in El Salvador, so far as it can be determined, seems to want above all an end to war and killing.
American public opinion is not yet as opposed to the war as it was during the later stages in Vietnam. But it has not responded to Mr. Reagan's call for support with any visible, or audible, enthusiasm. Such opinion as there is opposes even the support now going to the factions Mr. Reagan favors, and strongly opposes sending US troops into action.
It is difficult to figure out just how Mr. Reagan is going to salvage his Central American venture under these circumstances. He needs to escalate just to keep his clients going. He will probably ask Congress for more money for guns and for training the ''contras'' for fighting in Nicaragua and the ''Salvadors'' in El Salvador. But to ask for more funds and more authority and not get it would make his problem worse than it already is. It would be demoralizing to his clients.
In the meantime he can order the US Navy to send warships along both east and west coasts of Nicaragua. He has done so. The warships can patrol and discourage by their presence the arrival of weapons to his enemies by sea. But if he orders the warships to intercept shipping headed for Nicaragua, he will be blockading a sovereign country recognized by all other countries the world around. That is an act of war. Under the Constitution he is not supposed to wage war without a declaration of war by Congress - which Congress is not disposed to vote.
Perhaps he will be able to keep his clients going through December without more funds from Congress. Perhaps Congress will dole out a little more help to avoid the danger of being blamed for the loss of El Salvador to ''totalitarian communism.'' Perhaps Henry Kissinger will come up with some wondrous formula to wave it all away.
But meanwhile President Reagan must think enviously of how much easier it is for the people in the Kremlin to run operations of this sort. They have no public opinion or congressional second guessers to interfere with the will and wishes of the leadership.

So I have a question I was hoping someone could help me out on. It may seem kinda silly but I plan on working with Unity once I become better with c#. Are these tutorials geared just towards xna development? Or will I have the foundations to start working with unity since its still C#?
Date: 17 Jun 2013 05:23
Number of posts: 4
RSS: New posts
the reason I ask is because I love the way these tutorials present the information so far, I just am more interested in the likes of unity than xna.
So… I'm no Unity expert. I'd love to know more about it, but I just haven't had time to get into it like I want to. So take that for what it's worth in what I'm about to say.
I know in Unity, you can do a lot of C# coding to get your game up and running. So as far as the C# Crash Course goes (and my C# book, for that matter) it should all be very helpful. In fact, learning and knowing C# is going to be a critical step in making a game with Unity, so you won't be wasting your time there.
If you're set on Unity, and you aren't so interested in XNA, no problem. When you get done with the C# tutorials, just go learn Unity instead of spending time in the XNA tutorials.
Having said that, though, XNA brings you in at a level that is closer to the metal. Doing the XNA tutorials would not be a complete waste of time. It will help you understand what Unity is doing behind the scenes, and that can be very important. It's always nice to understand at least the next layer down. When things go wrong, it goes a very long way in helping you understand why.
So the answer is, no, you don't need to understand the XNA tutorials to do stuff with Unity, but that doesn't mean it's a waste of time if you're interested in getting into some of the nuts and bolts.
Thank you for responding and your input! A big thanks for the tutorials too. Can't wait to get my hands on your book!

April was full of big name comebacks. Exo, EXID, and miss A among them. Surely one of these big name, big money groups, with all the resources at their disposal, would win the coveted MV of the Month? Not so. Though there were plenty of enjoyable music videos in the month of April, it was Lim Kim's "Awoo" that stood out from the rest as a true masterpiece.
Love songs are a dime-a-dozen, but "Awoo" manages to feel fresh by focusing on the playful act of seduction. "I shake my hidden tail," Lim Kim sings. "I flirt with you. You fall for me." Lim Kim uses a cat as the metaphor for this seduction, reminding us how stingy the animals are with their displays of love, how graceful, how playful. But Lim Kim plays the other side, too. She is both the flirty feline and the person who teases the cat to win its affection.
It's a more nuanced take on seduction in a genre that is desperately short on subtlety. Lim Kim doesn't wave her butt at the camera or gyrate her hips. She doesn't dance provocatively or signify male genetalia. In "Awoo," she shows us that sexuality is about a lot more than obvious physicality. It's a mind game, and Lim Kim plays that game throughout the music video. She waves a cat toy. She steals the last piece of the puzzle. She knocks over a vase because she knows she can get away with it. Lim Kim torments us, and it's brilliant.
There's no signature dance move in "Awoo," unless you count the fluttering of her fingertips. There's actually not much motion at all. And yet, the video feels perfectly paired with the rapid iterations of the EDM beat. Lim Kim nods her head, and it is all we need to do the same. She taps her fingers and the music takes us back and forth. The screen flickers when the beat becomes too intense. And the colors! Every little piece and prop is artfully chosen (and we'd expect no less from Mystic Entertainment).
Given the beauty and precision of "Awoo," it's easy to forget just how new to Kpop Lim Kim is. After placing third in Superstar K3 (as a member of Togeworl, along with Do Dae-yoon), Lim Kim made her solo debut in 2013. And what a debut it was. Releasing two EPs and one full-length album, Lim Kim hit the top 20 with six separate songs, including "Colorring," "Rain," "Voice," "Goodbye 20," "Happy Me," and of course, "All Right." She earned Best Newcomer awards from both Melon and Golden Disk. And now she's back working with Do Dae-yoon and Togeworl for her new album, Simple Mind. Not only does "Awoo" herald the comeback of a great artist, but it teases us with what's to come.

These giclee reproductions replicate antique Tibetan thangka paintings, many originally housed in temples in Tibet. These masterfully painted, iconographically accurate works of art are perfect for meditation practice as well as being deeply aesthetically satisfying.
They are printed using archival, pigment-based inks on high quality poster paper, engineered to give the highest resolution and color saturation achievable with current digital printing technology.
Painting: 24 x 18.75.
Dudjom Tersar Refuge Tree: This thangka was painted by Chewang Dorje in 2003, and depicts the Nyingma Refuge Tree, or Merit Field assembly, which is visualized in the 'Preliminary Practices (ngondro) of the New Treasure (tersar) tradition of Dudjom Rinpoche'. Padmasambhava is said to have written the concise text for this practice in the ninth century, before concealing it as a hidden treasure (terma) that would be discovered in a more degenerate time when people had less time to practice the dharma. The great treasure-finder (terton) who was destined to reveal this 'new treasure' was Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904), whose subsequent incarnation as Dudjom Rinpoche, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (1904-87), then extensively taught this practice throughout his life.
Of this concise ngondro text, Dudjom Rinpoche said: "This is a condensed version of the preliminary practices that clearly elucidates their essential meaning, which is intended for those who do not fully understand or have the time to perform the extensive preliminary practices." This Refuge Tree arises from the waters of Lake Danakosha, the sacred lake where Padmasambhava, the 'Precious Guru who subjugates the Three Worlds', was miraculously born upon a lotus. Padmasambhava appears at the top of the tree seated upon a lotus and lion-throne, and wearing his characteristic lotus-hat and the three robes that represent his mastery of the three Buddhist yanas or 'vehicles'. His radiant aura is encircled with lotus flowers and a rainbow, and behind his lion-throne are stacks of silk-covered dharma texts.
Directly above Padmasambhava are ten cloud-borne lineage gurus, which descend in sequence from Samantabhadra at the top to the late Dudjom Rinpoche at the lower right. Directly in front of Padmasambhava are the eight wrathful yidam deities of the orally transmitted Mahayoga Tantra traditions, who each have three heads, four legs and six arms, and stand in sexual union with their consorts. These eight deities are: Yamantaka, Hayagriva, Shri Heruka, Vajramrita, Vajrakila, Matarah, Lokastotrapuja, and Vajramantrabhiru.
On the main lotus-branch to Padmasambhava's right is a rainbow circle with Shakyamuni seated at the centre of twenty-four other Buddhas, who collectively represent the thousand Buddhas of our era. On the branch to Padmasambhava's left is a similar rainbow that contains an inner circle of the eight great bodhisattvas with Avalokiteshvara at its centre, and an outer circle that contains the assembly of the Sixteen Arhats. And across the lower lotus petals of the tree are the main male and female dharmapalas or protective deities of the Nyingma tradition. In the upper sky are cloud-borne gods who hold various sensual offerings, such as banners, parasols and musical instruments. And in the lower landscape are auspicious offerings, prostrating practitioners, a palace, and a monk making a mandala offering.

The development came as it emerged British airlines had already replaced the equipment following advice issued by manufacturers two years ago.
Airbus confirmed it had sent out a "service bulletin" in 2007 giving details of a new speed sensor.
BMI said it received a recommendation to change the equipment from Airbus in November 2007 and completed the work on its A330s in March this year. BA said it had also carried out work and Virgin said its aircraft had never been fitted with the devices in question.
But Air France claimed problems with ice causing speed sensors to malfunction were not detected on its A330s and A340s until May 2008 when they alerted Airbus.
It said the airline decided to start fitting new, more efficient probes from April 27 this year, without waiting for further tests from Airbus but the A330 that plunged into the Atlantic had not yet been modified.
Air France promised unions that every old probe on its 15 A330s and 19 A340s would now be replaced "within days".
It came hours after one union advised pilots not to fly the aircraft until at lest two out of three of its speed sensors had been replaced.
Investigators have revealed that sensors, called pitot tubes, mounted on the stricken A330 sent "inconsistent" readings minutes before it crashed last week, with 228 people on board.
The A330-200, flying between Rio de Janeiro and Paris, sent a cascade of 24 automatic error messages as its systems malfunctioned in the final four minutes before it crashed.
There is speculation that the pitot tubes on the aircraft may have iced up, feeding the wrong data into the cockpit, confusing the crew as the plane encountered a tropical storm. This, in turn, could have caused the pilots to fly too slow and stall, or too fast and rip the airframe apart.
The revelations prompted the Alter union told pilots not to fly the planes until the changes had been made.
"Refuse any flight on a A330/A340 which has not modified at least two pitot sensors," the union said on its website.
It gave warning that there was a "real risk of losing control of an Airbus" without a majority of new ones.
Erick Derivry, spokesman of France's main SNPL pilots' union, said Air France had promised to make the changes immediately.
"From today, all Air France A330 and A340 flights will use planes equipped with at least two new sensors out of three (on board)," he said.
"They will all be modified today, even if this generates delays," he said after a meeting with Air France, which declined to comment.
However Air France's pilots' union, Spaf, said it would have been "impossible" to upgrade all the airline's planes in just one day, and advised pilots not to fly aircraft with less than two new sensors.
Michel Le-Bars, Spaf president, said: "I don't know how, between yesterday and today, we can equip (all these planes) with a second probe...it's impossible. Half the planes are in the air or abroad."
An Airbus spokesman said: "Customers choose which probes they use... Investigators are urging people not to jump to conclusions that the accident was caused by the airspeed indicators. There is still too much that is unknown."
France's air accident investigation bureau, BEA, has insisted there is no proven link between the crash and the gauges.
Paul-Louis Arslanian, BEA president, said: "It doesn't mean that without the replacement (of the probes), the plane is dangerous and with (them) it is not."
The European Aviation Safety Agency said: "(We) are analysing data with a view to issuing mandatory corrective action, without prejudging the outcome of the accident investigation."
"We confirm that the Airbus A330 type and all other Airbus aircraft types are airworthy and safe to operate," it added.
US Airways said on Monday it was replacing the pitots on its nine Airbus A330-300s. Delta Air Lines and the Middle East's Qatar Airways said they were working to upgrade the devices on dozens of Airbus planes.
The news came as a military helicopter bearing the bodies of eight of 24 bodies located in the Atlantic Ocean landed in Fernando de Noronha off Brazil's northeast coast yesterday. The bodies, recovered some 45 miles from where the plane sent its last message, were to be transferred to Recife on Brazil's mainland, where experts will try and identify them.
On Monday, search crews found the vertical stabiliser from the plane's tail. This could prove vital in the hunt for the black boxes, as the boxes are located in the fuselage near the jet's tail.

The crisis over Greece's debt mountain is unlikely to spread to other euro zone countries with high levels of public debt, International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said on Monday.
In an interview with Reuters in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, Strauss-Kahn dismissed market speculation of potential default by other heavily indebted euro zone countries such as Portugal, Spain or Ireland as scare-mongering.
"You can add to the list all of the countries in the euro zone, to try to scare people about everything. I don't think it will happen," he said. "We have a problem with Greece. We don't have a problem with Spain to date. The euro zone has to deal with the Greek problem. They are doing this. No one knows what's going to happen tomorrow morning but there's no reason why the spillover to Portugal or to Spain will take place."
Separately, Strauss-Kahn, who is on a tour of Kenya, South Africa and Zambia to see how the poorest continent has bounced back from last year's global economic crisis, said he was confident euro zone countries could handle the Greek debt maelstrom.

Hi, I'm Donna Menke and I enjoy making things out of wood. You can see more of my projects and links to other woodworking and carving blogs on my web site: www.woodworks-by-donna.com
I have some nice cherry wood on hand- so I'm going to make another harp similar to the last one, but with a few variations. Stocks above, and view of grain below.
This is the harp I made from plans from MusicMakers back in 2007, out of walnut boards. http://harpmaking.blogspot.com/
Here is the rough stock being analyzed for the best sections to use.
Cutting the big woods into littler woods makes them easier to handle. Here I'm checking the blade for square.
Sometimes it seems like the planning can take longer than the creation, but it is a necessary phase in any project.
Why am I designing my own harp? I wanted to see if I could modify the Limerick plans I used for the walnut Rainbow harp I made in 2007. I wanted the soundbox smaller, and I wanted it to be self-supporting and as tall as the Heartland DreamWeaver that I have and like. I took aspects of lots of different harps and put them all together and this is what I came up with. I also wanted a harp that could be easily transported- like the lap harps, but also be able to stand alone like the floor harps, but even more, to not need to lean it against myself to play it.
The first step will be to make a model out of foam. The plan is to make it fairly close to reality so that I can get close to correct interfaces for the parts. I also want to sculpt the knuckle out of foam before
committing to wood.
I may be trying to do the impossible- but I have hopes that it will work.
Here I'm checking out possible layouts for the neck and pillar plans. These are not the final plans, but I can get an idea if I will have enough wood for the project.
These are the boards that will be used for the sides.
This is the sort of damage to look out for. The obvious nick at the end is one, but the shallow splitting of the wood further up is even more dangerous.
I will run the wood through the planer to see if I can get below these 'shakes'. Right now the thickness is 1 7/8" and it should be 1 3/4".

A content marketing road map can and should be a nice blend between strategy and execution. To get started, think about your content marketing road map as a document with the following table of contents:
- What do you want to achieve? (Content marketing strategy)
- How will you achieve it? (Content marketing tactics)
- Who will do what to help you make those tactics a reality? (A content calendar, for example)
Now all you have to do is fill out your TOC. Here's how:
What Do You Want to Achieve? (Content Marketing Strategy)
Or in other words, what are your goals? If you're having trouble formulating an actionable goal, pick a version of one of the following:
- Drive more new unique users to my site.
- Get visitors, leads, and/or existing customers to increase how much they engage with my content or product (trial downloads, shares, likes, tweets, etc.).
- Convert visitors into leads or leads into sales or both.
These sample goals are a good start, but I encourage you to get as specific as possible. Make your goals easy to measure by specifying quantities and time frames wherever possible. Also, don't forget to make sure that each goal is well-researched to contribute to your overall business strategy. After all, content marketing should only be one component of your total marketing mix.
How Will You Achieve Your Goals? (Content Marketing Tactics)
Next, you have to align content marketing tactics to each goal that you want to achieve. How many goals and how many tactics you choose will depend on the amount of people, money, and technology you have at your disposable. I personally recommend focusing on a few goals and tactics at a time. By staggering your goals, you can build a long-term road map where each phase can be informed by what you learned prior.
Examples of content marketing tactics are:
- Rewrite site content to target high volume or long-tail keywords.
- Write a whitepaper or eBook that can be distributed via social media or other paid channels.
- Build a blog section targeted to leads who are considering a purchase (e.g., more in-depth product walk-throughs, implementation best practices, etc.).
- Create gated content to collect email addresses.
- Recruit influencers to write syndicated content for your blog and to share each blog post with their countless followers.
The important thing is to map each specific tactic to one, and only one, goal from section 1 above. Of course, you can have different tactics support a single goal. This will help keep your content road map focused and easy to execute.
Be thoughtful about which tactics you choose to support each goal. Make sure that you understand what tactics are most effective for what types of goals.
Who Will Do What to Help Make Your Tactics a Reality? (A Content Calendar, for Example)
A content calendar may sound cumbersome to create, but it's not, and it can be a great tool to keep everyone organized and on schedule. A content calendar outlines a number of basic needs:
- What content pieces will be created for each content tactic you choose to pursue—For example, 'Write a whitepaper explaining how to calculate build vs. buy for enterprise analytics software.'
- When each content piece will go live—For example, 'Whitepaper will be published by mm/dd/yy.' Time each content piece in a way that makes sense for your overall marketing strategy. If you plan to run a traffic campaign, make sure you've got all your best lead generating content pieces live by then.
- Who is assigned to write or work with a vendor to create each content piece -For example, 'The CEO will write a blog post announcing XYZ product launch. The content manager will recruit influencers to try the new product and write syndicated content.'
I used bullet form to explain my point, but it's best to use a spreadsheet for planning purposes, where each content piece is tied to a tactic and each tactic is tied to a strategic goal.
These days, content is being created faster and in more volume than people know what to do with. Instead of creating content volume, focus on building content for the right time, at the right point in the sales funnel, and for the right audience.

A judge has overturned a kindergartner's expulsion from a Philadelphia charter school for touching his teacher's thighs after she complained that her legs hurt.
The 6-year-old, who had three earlier suspensions, was merely trying to comfort his teacher, the judge concluded.
"I want to make them feel better," the boy told his teacher, according to a May 23 ruling by Common Pleas Judge Paul P. Panepinto, first reported on by The Legal Intelligencer.
The case, involving the First Philadelphia Charter School for Literacy, hints at a larger question that looms as the number of charter schools explodes across the country.
The Philadelphia-based Education Law Center argued that charter schools sometimes seek more leeway in disciplining students using the argument they can always return to a traditional public school.
"This `double-standard' view is legally flawed," staff attorney Paul Lapp wrote in a brief filed on behalf of the boy's family. "Charter schools are public schools and are on exactly the same legal footing with respect to the disciplinary sanctions of suspension and expulsion as are `regular' public schools."
First Philadelphia officials argue that the law gives them broad discretion to discipline students, especially after a series of disciplinary problems.
The boy had been suspended for 10 days in December for touching a girl's bottom while under a table picking up crayons. He was then suspended twice for stepping on his classmates' shoelaces or otherwise tripping or shoving them, according to the school's brief. And he caused regular disruptions, to the point that another teacher labeled him an "8" on a scale of 1 to 10 for disruptiveness, the brief said.
Panepinto focused solely on the March 19, 2010, touching incident with the teacher in finding the school had abused its discretion.
"In permanently expelling a 6-year-old kindergarten student that had only been in school for seven months, (the school) made a gross abuse of discretion that was not supported by evidence in the record," the judge wrote. He said we would expunge the boy's record of his expulsion.
The teacher testified at an April 2010 school disciplinary hearing that the boy's contact made her feel uncomfortable, while acknowledging that other students regularly give her hugs, the judge found.
"There's not anything that made it seem one bit inappropriate," Lapp told The Associated Press on Monday. "This is developmentally normal behavior."
In court papers, he said there was nothing sexual about the encounter. Questioned by his mother about the incident, the boy said he wished he were a doctor so he could help people, according to the family's brief.
The school cast the encounter as far more ominous.
"It is inappropriate for a 6-year-old child to touch an adult teacher on both upper thighs, near her crotch area, while the adult is sitting, in a school setting. This is especially so where such child has a protracted and admitted history of inappropriate touching/ behavior," the school argued in its brief.
The case has been moved to mandatory mediation by the courts, and will proceed to the state's Commonwealth Court if no resolution is reached, said lawyer David Annecharico, who represents the charter school. He otherwise declined comment.
The law center believes the Commonwealth Court will be asked to set a statewide precedent on whether a child so young can be expelled for such behavior.
The boy has transferred to a private school and has had no significant behavioral problems since, Lapp said.
According to its website, the North Philadelphia charter school opened in 2002 and operates year-round with a goal of achieving family literacy, while teaching students to read at or above grade level within two years.
Philadelphia has 71 charter schools operating with its school district.

The Nikkei Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), a composite single-figure indicator of manufacturing performance, posted 51.3 in August, down from 52.6 in July, and signaling the weakest improvement in business conditions since March, according to latest report from Nikkei and Markit Economics.
Having said that, "the health of the sector has now strengthened on a monthly basis throughout the past two years," the report stated.
Manufacturing output increased at the slowest pace in ten months amid reports of weakening client demand. Growth of new business also eased in August, but remained solid as panelists indicated having secured new work from both new and existing clients, according to the report.
In contrast to the trend in total new business, new export orders decreased for the third month running.
"Declining demand from international clients and competitive pressures from Chinese firms were mentioned as factors leading to the fall in new export orders," the report stated.
China was also mentioned with regard to changes in prices during August, with the depreciation of the Yuan reportedly a cause of lower input prices.
Falling prices in world markets for items such as steel and oil were also mentioned by those firms that recorded a drop in input costs, which was the sharpest since February.
Panelists passed on lower input costs to their clients, with price competition also a factor adding to deflationary pressures. The latest fall in charges was among the sharpest in the series' history.
Weaker growth of new orders led to backlogs of work decreasing for the third consecutive month, but firms continued to raise their staffing levels in August. The rate of job creation, however, slowed against July.
"Suppliers' delivery times improved for the first time in six months during August, with panelists linking shorter delivery times to fast payments and requests for quicker deliveries," the report stated.
As has been the case on a monthly basis throughout the past two years, purchasing activity rose in August. However, stocks of purchases decreased for the second month in a row.
Stocks of finished goods also declined during the month, with respondents indicating that finished products had been delivered to customers upon completion, according to the report.

John Torode and Gregg Wallace appointed official taste buds of Heathrow
Two of the nation's best-known foodies have taken on their biggest taste test to date after being appointed as the official taste buds of Heathrow.
John Torode (above left) and Gregg Wallace (above right) were tasked with eating their way around the UK's only hub airport in 80 plates and to set Heathrow a six-month challenge to improve the airport dining experience. The dynamic duo – famous for their straight-talking approach to all things culinary – were given access to all areas of the airport to sip, sample and savour dishes from Heathrow's 73 restaurants and bars to better understand and improve the airport offering.
Following their gastronomic tour, John and Gregg have tasked Heathrow's food and beverage team with introducing healthier food choices across the terminals and creating a platform to champion British culinary talent. John and Gregg's experiences are also being used to inform Heathrow's first ever food guide. Entitled Food on the Fly , the guide will provide passengers with an overview of the varied dining options available in the airport.
Every year 26 million orders are placed at Heathrow's restaurants and bars, which include fine dining options such as Caviar House and Prunier, Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food, Oriel and rhubarb, as well as high street concepts redesigned specifically for travellers including YO! Sushi, Strada and Carluccio's.
Ben Crowley, head of food and beverage at Heathrow said: "Heathrow's food and drink offering is designed specifically with travellers in mind – from people passing through several time zones in a very short space of time to those needing a meal in minutes.
"We've been recognised on a global level but for us this is not enough. We want to continue to innovate to be the best in our league for airport dining. We are hugely excited about responding to the challenge John and Gregg have set and at bringing a new dimension to Heathrow food and beverage offering."
Gregg Wallace said: "Food is our first love and at the heart of everything we do; so we were delighted when we were invited to take part in this eating challenge – and to contribute to the guide. We were blown away by the range on offer to hungry passengers at Heathrow; catering for such a huge spectrum of passengers is truly a herculean task."
Ten thousand copies of Food on the Fly – Heathrow's first ever food guide – will be published and handed out to passengers to mark the summer getaway with a digital version available to download from www.heathrow.com from July.
Crowley said: "It's often hard to show passengers – especially those in a hurry – the full extent of our offering so it's very exciting to be able to work with John and Gregg to produce this really comprehensive guide. We not only hope it will help passengers better navigate our restaurants and bars but also make the meal they have before they fly one to savour."

2018 Leo Astrology Forecast
Leo 2018
Leo Astrology Forecast and the energies for your sun sign, your moon sign and your ascendant. If you do not know your moon sign or ascendent fill in the request on the free chart page and I will send your astrology chart to you and that will tell you which signs your planets are in. Your sun sign monthly astrology forecast is not the same as a personal astrology reading but it will give you general insight.
Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun as the center of our solar system is the star which all other planets revolve around. Sometimes it is said that the Leo person wants to be the center of attention; this may or may not be true depending on the rest of the astrology chart. Yet the Leo path in life is always to find their center and to follow their heart.
The crises in the life of Leo will be around pride, courage, love, being acknowledged and being approved of. Usually these are all combined together with a story or drama that unfolds. Leo needs drama in life. They need to feel and express life. However if they are not conscious of their inner needs then the drama can unfold whereas they are so wrapped up into the play they take it very seriously and can become entrenched in a drama of epic stature.
Many times the young Leo had an event happen in their lives where they either got attention and approval or was hoping for the attention and approval of a respected and loved adult, usually a parent. An emotional charge was set up, either that they did something, a little show perhaps for the adults, and felt loved and adored with attention. That event set up a pattern of I need to play a part, put on a show in order to get approval, love and attention. Or sometimes the Leo child wants love and attention and feels ignored and keeps upping the ante in acting out or seeking someway to get mommy and daddy's attention, such as by getting sick, provoking a sibling, etc.
This emotional set up can continue in adult life where the Leo feels that need to accomplish more and more to have approval. The approval and love that was wanted or reinforced at childhood now becomes an ambiguous approval from the world. If I am the best sales person at the office then somehow life will be better and this can go on until an emotional crisis occurs with the underlying question of "why am I not happy"?
It is important for the Leo in their spiritual path to ponder whether or not they are taking an action for approval. Again this is a hidden feeling or driving force under the surface of day to day activities. Therefore self examination is very important. One way to discover whether or not what you are doing is genuine is to ask whether or not you feel someone in your life will "approve" of what you are doing. Think of people you care about or those you want to care about you.
Next ask yourself if in addition to (as an example) going to a particular workshop if you think so and so would admire you for doing that. This can be an access to whether there is a hint of wanting approval. If so, then ask yourself if you go to someplace or do something even if there was no admiration or even if there was disapproval.
This is one way Leo can find their heart and life path. Having the courage to follow it is the next step. It takes courage to consciously step on a path you want but you know others who are important to you in your life do not approve of. The Leo must seek the truth in their heart, is the path you want the best for your highest good? Is it pure without being tainted with doing it as a result of hurt pride or ego? Are you willing to risk losing others in order to have what your heart wants? Once you examine the truth in your heart courageously set out on your own adventure.
Remember the sun the star in our solar system, the other planets (people in your life) are the supporting actors in the play of your life. If they are not suited to the role you may need to fill the supporting characters with others.
Astrology is a complex subject, different astrologers interpret the planets in many ways, yet the core foundation is the same. We all have Leo somewhere in our chart and lesson of Leo as well as the gift that Leo is meant to master and show us pertains to all of us.
It is very important to know and understand the messages from the universe. Having this knowledge helps you stay in tune with the planetary vibrations. This will confirm your inner knowing that you are doing what you need to do.
Being in tune with these messages will help you on the earth plane and supports you in your spiritual evolution and awakening.
Monthly forecast do not replace your individual chart readings that are unique to your birthday, time of birth, year of birth and place of birth but will give information that will help you with the overall picture for you.

An easy and adaptable recipe for quiche. No need to make a separate crust, the batter makes it's own golden crust. Great with a simple green salad on the side.
- Yield
- 1 Serves 10 - 24 pp
- 1 red onion, sliced in rings
- 750 gr leeks, sliced in rings
- 50 gr butter
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp dill (or oregano)
- ½ to 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
- 115 gr plain flower (sifted)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs, loosly beaten
- 200 gr (greek) yoghurt
- 300 gr feta cheese, broken into pieces
- 100 + 50 gr grated parmesan
- 24 cm round baking tin/or muffin tray (24)
- Preheat oven to 180°C Fry the onion on medium heat in the butter and a bit of oil. Add the leaks, ground black pepper and dill and keep on medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and let cool for a bit. Sift the flower and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the eggs, then the yoghurt. Don't worry if its a bit lumpy. Fold in the feta and 100 gr of the parmezan cheese. Add the leak/onion mixture. Pour the mixture into a well buttered tin. Sprinkle the remaining parmezan on top and put in the middle of the oven on 180 C for 40 to 45 minutes. Check after 20 minutes if top isn't getting too dark. If it is, just put on some aluminum foil, shiny side down. Remove from oven, let rest for 10 minutes, then remove from tin. Serve warm or cold. Freezes well. Alternative fillings: There are too many alternatives to name them all, I pick what's in season. Just remeber to cut the ingredients into small pieces so that they don't sink to the bottom. Dusting them with some flower before adding it to the batter helps. - Broccoli + red peppers - Mushrooms (my fave) - Spinach and artichokes - etc...

* Hopes for Greek debt deal, German data lifts euro, stocks
* Prices set to face resistance near $1,740/oz
* Silver outperforms gold, set for 3.5 pct weekly rise (Updates prices)
By Jan Harvey
LONDON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Gold prices rose above $1,730 an ounce on Friday as positive German economic data and hopes that Greece's creditors are nearing an agreement to tackle its debt lifted the euro to a three-week high versus the dollar and trimmed losses in stocks.
Trade was expected to be quiet, however, with the U.S. stock market open for only a half-day of business after the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.
Spot gold was up 0.3 percent at $1,733.34 an ounce at 1223 GMT, while U.S. gold futures for December delivery were up $5.60 an ounce at $1,733.80.
The metal has risen more than 1 percent this week, lifted by gains in the euro, which is set for its biggest weekly rise in seven, and worries over the U.S. 'fiscal cliff', a $600 billion package of tax and spending changes set to kick in next year.
"Investors are looking to buy into the dips because there is obviously still event risk around the fiscal cliff, and we're not sure whether China's really rebounding or not," Societe Generale analyst Robin Bhar said.
"Those are two big uncertainties that I think will make the market want to at least support the dips," he added. "We could finish the year around $1,740, $1,750. Between now and then, I'd expect to stay rangebound."
In the near term gold was set to take direction from the wider markets. It tends to benefit from dollar weakness, which makes assets priced in the U.S. unit cheaper for other currency holders, and firmer appetite for assets seen as higher risk, such as stocks and commodities.
The euro hit a three-week high against the dollar and European stocks firmed on Friday after German IFO numbers showed a surprise improvement in business sentiment, and as hopes grew that Greece would reach an agreement on its debt.
The International Monetary Fund has relaxed its debt-cutting target for Greece and only a 10 billion euros ($13 billion) gap remains to be filled for a vital aid tranche to be paid, Greece's finance minister said on Friday.
Finland's finance minister said she expected a deal to be done on Greek debt on Monday.
Gold prices are set to face resistance around $1,740 an ounce, technical analysts said.
"Gold is just a few dollars shy of its 50-day moving average sitting at $1,741, and more importantly, a key technical level lurking at $1,739.10," UBS said in a note.
"Our technical strategist notes that a break above this level, which is the month's high, would be a crucial bullish development that would open up $1,748.95, the 62 percent retracement of the October/November sell-off ahead of $1,794.80, the October high."
Dealers said on Friday that business was slow in Asia's physical gold market as rangebound prices dampened interest from both potential buyers and scrap sellers, defying expectations of a pick-up in demand during the holiday season.
Analysts and traders had expected demand to strengthen during the holiday season in the last quarter of the year, with top consumers India and China, which between them account for nearly half of global gold demand, leading the way.
"China's demand isn't on a downtrend, but it's not picking up either," a Hong Kong-based dealer said.
Harmony Gold, South Africa's third-largest bullion producer, said on Friday operations at its Kusasalethu mine had not been affected by violence between rival labour unions that left two miners dead.
Silver was up 0.3 percent at $33.39 an ounce. It has outperformed gold to rise 3.5 percent this week, pushing the gold/silver ratio, which measures the number of silver ounces needed to buy an ounce of gold, to a six-week low at 51.9.
Spot platinum was flat at $1,579.75 an ounce, while spot palladium was down 0.1 percent at $653.75 an ounce. (Reporting by Jan Harvey; editing by William Hardy)

Hey everyone! I've run the draft for the week, and the results are shown here. I have a much better grasp on the collapsing snake draft, so all drafts will be run that way from now on. This ensures that every manager gets at least a first-round pick assuming they ultimately pick a name someone before them hadn't. Trust me, that is a huge assumption. As you will see by looking at the results, the random selection order runs the show...
The list of names after being run though Random.org's list randomizer. I was shocked to be first! Wahoo!
Here is the spreadsheet of picks, randomized before the draft starts:
And here is the aftermath. Man, going first in the draft didn't help me much... Then again, it looks like a lot of us picked many of the same players. Ouch:
Here is the updated manager/player list.

- Wedding: December 2014
So I just found out that I'm going to need surgery on my elbow, which will leave me with a huge scar .
The thing is, the waiting list for my surgery is quite long (I'm in the UK, NHS waiting lists can be ages). With the waiting list and further tests I'm probably looking at having surgery in May/June time.
I get married next December and really don't want a red, huge scar in my beautiful strapless dress.
I could struggle on as I am, pain and numbness in hand/arm, and put the surgery off until just after the wedding, or have the surgery and try to cover the scar??
I'm a bit stuck.

I am 100% without a doubt in love with Savannah. So it's no surprise that my eyes light up when a Savannah soirée falls in my lap - particularly when it's from W Scott Chester Photography. And when you put fancy shoes on a cake stand (scroll down, it's a must see) ultimately combining two of my favorite things EVER - well, my heart knows no bounds. It doesn't stop there - oh no - there is even more fabulous in the full gallery of images!
Click here to see the entire gallery of images!
From the Bride...Kent & I live in San Francisco, but our families and friends are all over the country. When we started the wedding planning process, we were clear on only one concept: we wanted our wedding to be a weekend event where we were surrounded by our closest family and friends. From there, the vision and priorities for our wedding weekend fell into place. After some Internet research, we decided that Savannah would likely fit the bill. It's a small city with a lot of charm, lots to do, plenty of good food, and a fantastic art school. If we were going to ask all our friends and family to travel, we wanted it to be somewhere they were going to be excited to go!
The look and vision for our wedding came about organically. We had vague notions of what we wanted: classy, casual, great food, music, and DIY projects. And some very specific ideas of what we didn't want: a wedding cake, too much white, calligraphy, or formality. Thank god for wedding blogs because I spent hours looking for inspiration, and learned guiding principle 4: hire an amazing photographer! Working with W. Scott Chester for our engagement and wedding photos was super special, and we are so glad to have these photos to re-live our wedding day. The MG Events team were fantastic at helping translate my flower and decor ideas into specifics and pairing us with the best vendors. Our vague notions of classy and casual turned into those amazing flower-filled bottles hanging from trees at a our floral meeting. Our desire for great music turned into custom-made CDs for all our guests.
We had many talented friends and family to help with the DIY elements. I made the place seating cards, assembled a family photo project and made playlists for dinner. Kent made the CDs. My dad made the table numbers by drilling house numbers on hardback books. My mom made the cupcake stand. All of the women (and the best man) staying at home base covered 60+ books with fabric I bought and craft paper for the table decorations. One of the groomsman made us an amazing dance party mix to play at the wedding. Etsy and second-hand sellers provided the rest of the items we loved.
Kent and I enjoyed every second of our wedding but some of our favorite memories was: our first look, reading our handwritten vows to each other while our good friend married us, my dance with my Dad, Kent's dance with his Mom, and the late-night living room dance party at home base.
Our wedding weekend would not have been half the day it was without Morgan and Alysse and the rest of our vendors! I've read it on this blog (SMP) a million times and it's worth repeating: Hire great vendors and then trust them to do their best work. Every vendor we worked with fantastic, and it all came together better than I could have hoped!

Our resident tipster is putting his trust in a couple of course specialists.
Not all horses take to the sharp, undulating circuit at Catterick and horses that have run well there previously are worthy of close consideration on their return.
Ian Williams' CONRY is a good case in point and he looks to have been laid out for this evening's 7f handicap (7.30pm), a race he won 12 months ago. The nine-year-old is a real course specialist as he has now won six times here and has never run a bad race here. He's been largely out of form since winning at Wolverhampton in September, but he signalled that he was coming back to his best when third on the Polytrack at Chelmsford last time. Given that was only his second run since December, he was entitled to need it and should be cherry ripe.
He's rated 6lb higher on turf than on an artificial surface, but thanks to that barren spell he can line up today off a 13lb lower mark than when successful last year. That would count for little if ground conditions weren't right as he's a different horse when the is plenty of cut, and connections will therefore have been rubbing their hands at the sight of the recent rain, which has turned the going "soft" – five of his wins here have come when the word "soft" appeared in the going description. Stevie Donohoe, who has steered him to the last four of those wins, is back on board.
Sticking with the "horses for courses" formula could also pay dividends in the 5f handicap run at the end of the meeting (8.30pm). The Paul Green-trained RUSTY ROCKET has twice won around here (albeit over 7f) and he too looks to be on a good mark after a spell in the wilderness. The six-year-old was racing off 85 when chasing home the now 104-rated Aetna over this trip at Newcastle last April, yet lines up this evening off a 10lb lower mark. The rain has come at the right time for him too – his last six wins have come on easy ground – and just for good measure his stable is in good form, with the trainer's four runners finishing 1182.

The minimum mounting height is measured from the bottom of the lowest sign on the pole to grade. MUTCD standards are 7' for regulatory signs. Because the poles are direct burial installation, you must account for at least 2' needed below grade to the total length of the pole. Simply put, if you want to have pole 10' above ground, you need to choose a 12' pole.
2. Choose Sign Finials: Top off your sign with one of our decorative sign finials. No matter your sign style, we have the perfect finial to complete the look. For elegance, we have the acorn. For Texas pride we have a star. For simplicity, there is the ball or cap. And the point suits a more modern look.
Because the pole is hollow a topper is necessary. For the Round poles an acorn, ball or even a circle star is available. For the square poles a small cap, a ball and a point finial is available. Be sure to choose a finial that will fit the dimension of your pole.
3. Choose Sign Bases: Because the pole is a direct burial installation the base is not necessary for function but it does offer a decorative element to your sign systems. Two-piece and Slip-over options are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Make sure to choose one that will fit your pole diameter.
4. Choose Signs: While poles are an integral part of any signage system, such systems would be pointless without the signs themselves. Think about what signs your community needs. We have everything from street signs to traffic signs. We can also make any MUTCD traffic or custom signs in various sizes. If you really want to add pizazz to your neighborhood, think about adding your community or city logo to your signs. We can produce these from your artwork or help design one for you. This kind of special detail will show the pride of your community to anyone passing through.
Sign Options:
5. Sign Trims & Brackets: Much like a picture frame can turn a simple print into artwork you're proud to display in your home, our traffic and sign trims add a polished look to your sign unit.
Cast aluminum sign trims are designed to enhance and protect your signs for years to come. Similar to a picture frame around a photograph, the trim borders and holds the sign for stability and style.
Sign Trim and Bracket Options:
We also offer a variety of complete sign units that will make finding sign systems for your community even easier. For a more detailed look at our offerings, you can order one of our streetscape products catalogs. And if you have any questions about the ordering process, you can browse through our frequently asked questions. Contact us today to make your own street sign.

Errol Hillary, the man accused of gunning down a popular Mount Vernon nightclub owner on Christmas Day and wounding five other men, pleaded not guilty Thursday, according to Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr.
The Bronx resident, 41, who did not speak during the arraignment before Judge Barry Warhit in Westchester County Court, is accused of killing O'Neil Bandoo and injuring five others following an argument around 4:30 a.m., Dec. 25, 2016, inside the Mansion at 4 N. Third Ave.
He is charged with second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon, five counts of second-degree attempted murder, four counts of assault and one count of second-degree assault, all felonies, Scarpino said.
According to the indictment, Hillary entered the nightclub where a Christmas party was being held. While inside, he became agitated and began to cause a disturbance. When security asked him to leave, Hillary began to fight with two members of the security team as they tried to drag him out the front door.
Bandoo, the owner of the club, was standing outside with another man, a friend of Hillary's, when they heard the commotion, the indictment said.
The two men entered the club and asked Hillary to leave. That's when he walked toward the front door, pulled out a 9mm handgun and began shooting back into the hallway from the threshold of the door, Scarpino said.
Bandoo was shot one time in the chest killing him. Five other men were shot and seriously wounded in the hallway, some of whom suffered multiple gunshot wounds, the indictment said.
The indictment says Hillary then attempted to run away at which point he was tackled to the ground in front of the club. During the struggle, the defendant dropped his gun. He was able to break free at which point two other members of the club's security detail tackled the defendant preventing him from grabbing the gun back.
The defendant again managed to break free and run. He was chased by Mount Vernon police officers who placed him under arrest, the indictment said.
Hillary, who is being held without bond in jail, is scheduled to appear in court again on Feb. 28.

Dead State Kickstarter Update #24: Screenshots and stuff, actual game footage coming soon
Game News - posted by Infinitron on Mon 14 January 2013, 13:39:26Tags: Dead State; DoubleBear Productions
We have another obligatory new year's Kickstarter update today, this time from DoubleBear's Dead State:
Starting this month, backers won't be the only ones reading our updates. By popular request, we will start making new Kickstarter posts accessible to everyone who wants to follow Dead State. And in the next few months, expect a lot information and footage on the game. It's going to be an exciting (and busy) year ahead for our team.
After a brief break for the holidays, we're back at work on a new build for the game. We're in the process of getting our systems up to alpha level – some of the systems on deck or done include looting, equipment, combat (for some melee and ranged weapon sets), noise, and AI. Work continues on story-related writing and design, plus lots of new art and animation to breathe even more life into our areas and their inhabitants.
Here's a shot of the near-final medium store frame:
This building is a Diamondback Hardware Store, one of many you'll come across and one of the first places you'll be heading to in the game (gotta get tools and materials if you want to keep that fence up!)
No zombies or looters in there yet, but something tells me it's going to be a bit more dangerous the next time we head in there.
As we mentioned in the last update, we construct stores with a set of basic pre-fab components that can be moved around to create new areas. In addition to the medium stores, we're working on a basic set for all the fast food stores, restaurants, bars, and diners.
Programming continues to implement GUIs for all the major menus and systems in the game – equipment, looting, character, goals and allies, and shelter management - while art and design tweak them slightly for ease of use. This is the basic framework that makes the game feel more functional and final. While we may continue to iterate at the testing stage, we've already worked out small kinks in the ease of use and presentation of each menu.
In the next few weeks, we're going to try to show you all the first post-KS footage of the game so you can take a look at our combat, AI, and one of the near-final areas in the game. Keep watching our Facebook and Twitter for info on the video release, as well as for new developments here on Kickstarter. We're grateful to all of you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Dead State and we look forward to bringing you closer to the zombie apocalypse in 2013.
That hardware store seems kind of familiar...

What it does is put the power of what is good and what isn't in the hands of the government, a government that has been known to abuse any power it ever gets over the years. This is not a good thing. We need LESS restrictions on medicine, not more. The more restrictions on it, the less freedom we have to choose what we wanna put in our bodies, and that is a bad thing. If you wanna restrict anything, ensure the safety of the drugs put on the market as is currently not done, that part of this can be a good thing if done right. But beyond that, industrializing of our medicine is a terrible thing.
Yes, industrialization of medicine is bad. Although standardization through the government allows greater quality control, massive amounts of prescription drugs make them easily and cheaply available. This creates abuse, as these drugs become available for recreational use when they can be obtained in greater quantities for a lesser price. Drugs should be prescribed in the least quantities necessary, and sold under the most strict of quality standards.
No, industrializing the medicine is not a bad thing. When medicines are processed industrially, there are very stringent quality controls and checks performed and the distribution of certain drugs (such as narcotics) is strictly regulated and enforced. All medicines will have consistent and measurable qualities, whether they were made in California or Maine.
The industrialization of medicine means that medicine can be made cheaper and at a greater standard of quality than it could have if it was not industrialized. The standards of industrialization must be strict to keep up with the various watchdog groups such as the FDA in the United States.

After Daesh now al-Qaida South Asia slogans on Karachi walls
The slogans of a shadowy group al-Qaida South Asia has been found inscribed over the walls in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Azizabad and other areas of Karachi.
Earlier, a publicity campaign was started in Karachi, Rawalpindi, Islamabad and other cities of Pakistan in the name of Daesh.
Federal Interior Ministry had ordered the police and other law enforcement agencies for crackdown against the campaign launched in the name of Daesh in Islamabad and other parts of the country and removal of such banners and posters immediately.
According to sources, intelligence agencies in their reports sent to the government have denied presence of Daesh in Pakistan adding that a few elements have launched the campaign in the name of the group.

Yesterday we focused on the amazing story of Heather and her experience with and recovery from postpartum psychosis.
And then this:
Amother in San Antonio killed her two young children, ages 1 and 3, on Tuesday.
A mother in Edmonton Canada killed her two young children, aged 9 months and 2, on Tuesday as well.
Did these tragediesstem from postpartum psychosis? Everyone will assume so, of course, regardless of whether that's the case. Some media reports have already mentioned it.
That bugs me. Not every case of postpartum psychosis ends up in a tragedy, and not every situation where a mother kills her child is due to postpartum psychosis.
I guess we'll have to see how this unfolds …

I thought a long time ago that the Confederate battle flag shouldn't fly over state capitols and that it was overdue to come down, but of course the complete purge against the Confederate flag anywhere in any form that is currently under way is about much more than the appropriateness of the flag over civic spaces. When you're taking the flag off of the General Lee, or whatever that car was in that show I never watched, you're taking things too far.
Turns out someone in Hollywood anticipated our current absurd moment. . . six years ago (4 minute video):
