The three remaining heroes stand by a cabin in the middle of nowhere, while eldritch sounds emanate from the woods around them. On the hillside beside them, a man named Stanley Mulligan waves a firearm around, while strange creatures in sunglasses who used to be men watch them.
At a loss for what to do next, Clara asks: What do you want from us? One of the creatures answers: Nothing.
Troy asks: What do you want from Stanley? The answer: He had knowledge of the site.
Clara: What are you? A: We have been called the Great Race by your kind. We understand that time as you know it may be…short. We will make you a deal.
Troy: what kind of deal? A: Safe passage as well as your friend (Marion) if you don't molest this area any further.
At this, Stanley looks around as if to say "what have you done?" to the creatures.
Clara asks the creature what will happen to Stanley and it tells her that it is likely he'll attempt to hide out in Seattle but that he'll be found in 3-4 years.
Douglas asks why Patterson is looking for Stanley. The question elicits a strong reaction from Stanley, who asks the creature if he "let that guy free." The answer, of course, is yes.
Behind Stanley, the bushes part to reveal the man from the dolmen…his tentacles have grown, and his body is less humanoid in shape…spindlier. The heroes decide to take the deal that they have been offered.
They are directed to enter the cabin…the tentacled lumberjack shrieks and thrashes towards them, and they run.
Inside the cabin, the creature/man from the window is sitting in one of the chairs beneath the light contraption; he appears to be dead. The flesh around his eyes is ravaged-fresh and old wounds surround the sockets. The eyes are black with the barest ring of white around them…they appear to be too large for his head. The eyes twitch as if registering the presence of the three humans in the room.
Clara looks at the figure on the table…but it isn't a figure at all…it's a circle made of some kind of black stome…shaped like a whirlpool or vortex. She can almost make out arms and fingers…and three toothed orifices (mouths?) in the 'eye' of the storm. She reaches out and touches it.
"The devouring wind," says the not-so-dead creature. "That is teh being that is now dead."
Troys asks how long has it been dead? A: We believe that trying to explain time you are like us. We exist outside time. You have been severed. We do not remember you.
Doug asks how it doesn't remember us, yet asked which one are you, which doesn't make sense. The creature goes on to explain that our heroes are outside time, there are no other like them. Troy was like others and then became like Clara, Douglas, and Marion. Tells them that the creature that took Mariom was a Hound of Tindalos, and that wherever she is, she will be returned to us on the train. It also tells them that its eyes belonged to a dolphin.
The air is rent by a high-pitched sound like the scream of a panicked horse, followed by thrashing sounds. The creature tells our heroes to leave…go back to the train.
They run back to their cabin to grab their things. Through the window they see a creature made of horse bits bearing down on Stanley. They leave the cabin and run out to run around him and the beast. The last thing they hear from him is a wet noise and gunshots.
They take off towards the lumber camp, but Troy freaks out and takes off in the wrong direction. Clara and Douglas chase him…Clara sees something in the woods moving in to intercept Troy…it is a simian form that clearly used to be human. She calls out to Troy to make him stop. The ape-thing attacks, Troy and Douglas shoot and kill it.
Clara searches the remains…finds a picture of a man with a little girl and an older woman.
Douglas looks behind them…he doesn't see anything but all three heroes hear the thrashing horsemonster sound again.
They head towards the camp. About two minutes in, they stop hearing horse screams but the crashing sounds continue.
They make it to a cleared area beside a large creek, and follow it towards the camp. On the way, they find the corpse of an outdoorsy-looking man, his body against a stump, his severed arm and the axe that removed it remain on the stump itself. Clara's inspection of the body reveal that he died from impact to chest and sternum. His wallet is still in his pocket, along with chew, dice, $4.00, and check stubs with the payee name of James Painter.
Finally they arrive in the camp. It is deserted. They cross the rope bridge to the store and Troy takes out the bridge.
The stables have been smashed…the doors are gone. The far end of the horse pen is also smashed out. There's blood and bits of horse all over the place.
The house attached to the store…porch is destroyed…the store is empty…the doors are open on all the buildings except the store. They loot the place, then head towards the train. Clara goes ahead of the other two…Troy and Douglas take out a two-person-corpse creature on the other bridge.
In the passenger car, Clara sees a figure seated at the back for a moment, and then it's gone…the face is her own. The expression of surprise is hers, too. More severe looking, but clearly this is some other Clara. Clara feels that there were others, but that they're gone now. She feels that same feeling she experienced when she used the talking board at Eugenia's…the light has that odd quality…but then everything goes back to 'normal.'
Marion is sprawled on the floor, injured and unconscious…no worse off than before her abduction, albeit paler. Troy and Douglas try to start the train so that they can leave, but it doesn't work out. They end up spending the night in the engine because it's the most defensible spot. It's a long and sleepless night…they keep hearing the thrashing sounds, sometimes close, sometimes farther away, and strange shrieks punctuate the dark hours.

FALLS CHURCH, Va., July 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Throughout much of the U.S. and in global capitals, innovation and technology are driving office markets to some of the highest occupancy levels since the recession, reports Corporate Facility Advisors (CORFAC International), www.corfac.com.
Orange County, CA: In the second quarter of 2014, the Orange County office market posted over 740,000 square feet of positive net absorption, the most positive absorption seen in one quarter since the first quarter of 2007. The second quarter of 2014 marked the fifth consecutive quarter of rising lease rates.
As a whole, the Orange County office market has posted over 6.5 million square feet of positive absorption since the third quarter of 2010, 3.5 million of that in the last nine quarters, according to Voit Real Estate Services/CORFAC International, based in Irvine.
As the recovery continues, Voit's Vice President of Market Research, Jerry Holdner, noted that research-oriented businesses such as IT, defense, medical, and alternative energy are leading the charge for positive absorption in the Orange County office market.
Dublin, Ireland: The office market asserted its recovery in 2012, took off earnestly in 2013 and continued its positive growth trajectory during the first half of 2014, according to Paul Scannell, Directory of Office Agency with HWBC/CORFAC International in Dublin.
During the first two quarters of 2014, 95,912 square meters (approx. 1.03 million square feet) was positively absorbed. The absorption, or "take-up," is ahead of pace from the previous year when 1.9 million square feet of offices was absorbed in Dublin.
Major business brands, principally American technology firms, led the way with some of the largest office leases in Dublin so far this year.
Amazon (70,000 square feet), Dropbox (55,000 square feet), Oracle (31,000 square feet) and Groupon (17,000 square feet) were among the largest completed lease transactions in Ireland's biggest market thus far in 2014. This is consistent with 2013 deals in Dublin, in which Facebook leased 121,000 square feet, Yahoo 71,000 square feet and Salesforce over 50,000 square feet.
Dublin office rents soared with increased demand, rising as much as 50 percent from the fourth quarter of 2012. Current asking rates for Grade A (Class A in U.S. terms) are €430 - €485 per square meter annually, or approximately USD $50-$60 per square foot at current exchange rates. At the close of 2012, Grade A asking rents for Dublin office space were €320, or approximately USD $40 per square foot annually.
London, England: London's Farebrother/CORFAC International has created a new research category to replace the existing and commonly used grouping, 'TMT' (Technology; Media and Telecoms) that has become a major driver of leasing activity across Central London. Farebrother believes the 'TMT' acronym has lost its insightfulness for grouping too broad a group of occupiers and has replaced the research term with 'DAMIT' (Design; Advertising, Marketing & PR; Media; Internet and Technology & Telecoms) for a more in-depth analysis to fully understand occupier demand.
Collectively, DAMIT firms were the biggest drivers of leasing activity in London's Midtown and South Bank in the three years up to the second quarter this year, accounting for 40% and 46% respectively. In Midtown, the Internet has been the dominant sector in the last three years at 13%, with Legal and Professional Services occupiers close behind at 12%. In South Bank, take-up by the Media sector was strongest in the last three years at 19%, with Advertising, Marketing & PR at 15% and Professional Services close behind at 11%.
Leasing activity exceeded 600,000 square feet in Midtown, well above the five-year quarterly average of 475,211 square feet according to Farebrother's Julian Hind, Head of Leasing, Sales and Development. He added that, following a surge in take-up, the availability rate for the market had dropped below 4% for the first time in over a decade, the lowest vacancy in Central London.
South Bank experienced its strongest second quarter of take-up since 2007, 40% higher than the five-year quarterly average with an availability rate of 6.1% (4.3% excluding London's iconic building, The Shard).
Atlanta, GA: One of the largest leasing deals of late, excluding the 1 million square feet leased by State Farm for its relocation to the Central Perimeter market, was completed by apparel maker Carter's Inc. which moved its headquarters from Midtown to Buckhead in 222,728 square feet at The Phipps Tower. Other sizeable transactions were closed by Internet marketing companies (MailChimp, 109,000 square feet and Cardlytics, 75,000 square feet), both moving into the Atlanta's largest new mixed use project Ponce City Market. Meanwhile, one of the nation's biggest homebuilders, The Pulte Group, has leased approximately 100,000 square feet at Capital City Plaza for its planned headquarters' relocation from Detroit.
The Atlanta marketplace attracts so many major brands for corporate headquarters and satellite offices that it is impossible to attribute growth to just a handful of industries, according to Alan Joel, CCIM, and principal with Joel and Granot Real Estate/CORFAC International.
"The Southeast has been growing for years and Atlanta is the region's biggest city, so it naturally attracts a wide variety of businesses. Recent activity has lowered the office vacancy rate in the entire market by over a full basis point. Throughout Atlanta, there are few choices of contiguous space for office occupiers that require 100,000 square feet or more. If you're a large user, now's the time to make your move," Joel said.

Aluminum cases offer many advantages over other materials, including other metals. In the most essential terms, aluminum is lightweight, sleek and attractive and can be recycled, according to the Aluminum Case Company.
Whether using aluminum for a carrying case or considering it for a gaming computer, this metal provides plenty of protection in a lightweight container. Other metals, such as stainless steel, are strong but clunky and hard to carry around, according to Velocity Micro.
It is also possible to get more creative in the styling of aluminum cases as the metal can be molded and cut more easily compared to steel. Manufacturers can also paint it, anodize the metal or give it a tough powder coating. Even though aluminum is not as strong as steel, it still offers plenty of durability, impact resistance and resistance to corrosion. Those who like to carry their electrical devices in aluminum cases can relax knowing that the metal helps to dampen electromagnetic waves.
Even better, aluminum is completely recyclable and can be reused in other products when no longer needed. However, the other materials used in the case may not be recyclable. The key to finding a good aluminum case is to look for one that uses solid aluminum sheet as opposed to one with an aluminum fame and plywood sheets.

Deep Tissue v. Deep Pressure
Callers sometimes ask if I do deep tissue massage. I'm never sure how to answer because the term may not mean to the caller what it means to me.
Most callers actually want to know if I perform therapeutic massage with strong pressure to relieve muscle tension, as opposed to simply offering light strokes for relaxation. That's not deep tissue, it's deep pressure. Such terms as light pressure, moderate pressure and deep pressure are used to describe how the massage therapist compresses muscle toward the bone.
Relatively few callers understand that deep tissue massage means working and pushing through the top layer of muscle to access tight muscle fibers or adhesions in deeper muscles. If that sounds uncomfortable, it is.
To increase the confusion, many spas and massage therapists don't understand the distinction. They may list "deep tissue" on a menu of services when "deep pressure" more accurately describes their service.
Even "deep pressure" is subjective. One client may consider excessive the pressure that is ideal or even a little light for another client. A massage doesn't have to hurt to be therapeutic, and a good massage therapist adjusts pressure to the client's comfort.
When a caller asks me about deep tissue work, I try to avoid the word "deep" entirely by explaining that I provide firm pressure for therapeutic benefit. I also identify and release trigger points, a form of deep tissue work, and that is the only deep tissue work I do.

Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges. Global warming has raised global sea level about 8 inches since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating. These are facts. And now, according to a new analysis by non-profit research organization Climate Central, the level of accelaration may be growing faster than previously thought and odds of "century floods" (or worse) occurring by 2030 are on track to double or more, over widespread areas of the United States.
According to their new report, these floods threaten untold financial damages. "Across the country, nearly 5 million people live in 2.6 million homes at less than 4 feet above high tide — a level lower than the century flood line for most locations analyzed. And compounding this risk, scientists expect roughly 2 to 7 more feet of sea level rise this century — a lot depending upon how much more heat-trapping pollution humanity puts into the sky."
The New York Times reports:
If the pace of the rise accelerates as much as expected, researchers found, coastal flooding at levels that were once exceedingly rare could become an every-few-years occurrence by the middle of this century.
By far the most vulnerable state is Florida, the new analysis found, with roughly half of the nation's at-risk population living near the coast on the porous, low-lying limestone shelf that constitutes much of that state. But Louisiana, California, New York and New Jersey are also particularly vulnerable, researchers found, and virtually the entire American coastline is at some degree of risk.
"Sea level rise is like an invisible tsunami, building force while we do almost nothing," said Benjamin H. Strauss, an author, with other scientists, of two new papers outlining the research. "We have a closing window of time to prevent the worst by preparing for higher seas."
An interactive map creating to mirror the research shows potential flooding in specific states and coastal areas:
The report is based on two just-published peer-reviewed studies, and is the first major national analysis of sea level rise in 20 years, and the first one ever to include:
- Estimates of land, population and housing at risk;
- Evaluations of every low-lying coastal town, city, county and state in the contiguous U.S.;
- Localized timelines of storm surge threats integrating local sea level rise projections; and
- A freely available interactive map and data to download online (see SurgingSeas.org).
Summaries of these findings at a state-by-state level are available in fact sheets and the original peer-reviewed studies are available as well. All findings reflect best estimates from the research; actual values may vary. The summar reads, in part:
This report focuses on new research and analysis, not recommendations; but it is clear from the findings here that in order to avoid the worst impacts, the United States must work to slow sea level rise by reducing emissions of heat-trapping gases, and work to diminish the remaining danger by preparing for higher seas in coastal cities and counties everywhere. SurgingSeas.org/responses/plans lists a selection of existing resources, plans and efforts to prepare, from local to national levels.

Choice Tracks – Fairytale Romance, This Feeling, So Broken, Seas Of Emptiness, All I Want
Wake The Nations - Sign Of Heart
Wake The Nations is a melodic hard rock band hailing from Finland and they bring a style not dissimilar to a Gotthard with a bit more of a mature manner. They do use a number of guest musicians and this helps them a bit with bringing in a bit if a diversity, while keeping their core sound very similar. They really have a knack of delivering the late 80's sound and would probably feel right at home in the era of the MTV Generation back in the day. Some of the tunes are a bit more on the softer side of what I generally prefer, but there is no knocking this band's skill or professionalism on this release. The vocals are beautifully done throughout the release (even the guest vocals), and the production is extremely rich, giving the total package one of a very established band that knows what it's doing. The music is contagious and strong, though I would have preferred a couple of more up tempo tunes to keep things moving along on here. The band shows that they can speed things up but seem to be happy striking out in the mid to low tempo range. Either way, they do a very good job and I would visit them again in the fuure!

Coping With Pain Related to Cancer and Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy drugs can cause some side effects that are painful. The drugs can damage nerves, leading to burning, numbness, tingling, or shooting pain, most often in the fingers or toes. Some drugs can also cause mouth sores, headaches, muscle pains, and stomach pains.
Not everyone with cancer or who receives chemotherapy experiences pain from the disease or its treatment. But if you do, it can be relieved. First, keep a journal of your pain. It will help you and your family detect pain patterns, or possibly triggers that you may be able to avoid. Talk to your friends and family about how the pain makes you feel. This will help them to better understand the pain, and how and when to help you.
When you have pain, take note of the following:
- Where you feel pain
- What it feels like—sharp, dull, burning, throbbing, steady
- How strong the pain feels
- How long it lasts
- What eases the pain
- What makes the pain worse
- What medications you are taking for the pain and how much relief you get from them
Stay in contact with members of your healthcare team. It should include doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals that can help you with your pain.
Using a pain scale is helpful in describing how much pain you are feeling. Try to assign a number from 0 to 10 to your pain level. If you have no pain, use a 0. As the numbers get higher, this means that your pain is getting worse. A 10 means the pain is as bad as it can be. You may wish to use your own pain scale using numbers from 0 to 5 or even 0 to 100. Be sure to let others know what pain scale you are using and use the same scale each time, for example, "My pain is 7 on a scale of 0 to 10."
Preventing and Treating Pain
The goal of pain control is to prevent pain that can be prevented, and treat the pain that can't. This is usually accomplished by taking a combination of long- and short-acting pain medications with a variety of co-analgesics (medications that have been traditionally used for conditions other than pain, but have been found to be effective for pain control). For example, some antidepressants and antiseizure medications may be effective in treatment of cancer-induced nerve pain.
- If you have persistent or chronic pain, take your pain medication on a regular schedule (by the clock) as prescribed.
- Do not skip doses of your scheduled pain medication. Pain is harder to control if you wait to take pain medication only when you feel pain.
- Try using relaxation exercises in addition to taking medication for the pain. This may help lessen tension, reduce anxiety, and manage pain.
- Talk to your doctor about alternative treatments for cancer pain. For example, acupuncture may be effective in reducing your pain.
- Some people with chronic or persistent pain that is usually controlled by medication can have breakthrough pain. This occurs when moderate to severe pain "breaks through" or is felt for a short time. It may be related to movement or happen at the end of the dosing interval. If you experience this pain, use a short-acting medication prescribed by your doctor. Don't wait for the pain to get worse. If you do, it may be harder to control.
Also, opioids may cause constipation. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day and eat foods that contain fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If you have problems, your doctor may recommend fiber supplements, stool softeners, or laxatives.
There are many different medications and methods available to control cancer pain. You should expect your doctor to seek all the information and resources necessary to make you as comfortable as possible. If you are in pain and your doctor has no further suggestions, ask to see a pain specialist or have your doctor consult with a pain specialist. A pain specialist may be an oncologist, anesthesiologist, neurologist, neurosurgeon, other doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Many cancer centers have a pain specialist on staff.

The gun has a tentative title of "Sig Custom", and is modeled after Leon S Kennedy's weapon in the latest Resident Evil title. Scheduled for a Spring 2013 release, the gun is available to adults aged 18 and over for the low-low price of 27,090 Yen. Gas and BB bullets are sold separately.
They already did that a while back with the RE Dessert Eagle. Wanted to have that gun but it was hard to find specially in my country.

PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities say nothing dangerous was found in a search of a United Express jet that was diverted to Phoenix and evacuated after a threat that they say came from aboard the flight.
Flight 5573 from San Francisco to San Antonio landed at 4:45 p.m. Thursday at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and everyone on board was evacuated, airport officials said.
Officials with SkyWest Airlines Inc., which operates flights under the United Express brand, said there were 42 passengers, two pilots and two flight attendants on the regional jet.
A SkyWest spokeswoman referred all questions about the threat to city authorities. Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Steve Martos said "the reported threat was on the plane," but he didn't elaborate.
Martos said a bomb squad and police dogs searched the plane and luggage "to make absolutely sure there's no threat," and nothing dangerous was found. Martos said all the passengers were interviewed and cleared to continue their journey.
By 7:15 p.m., Sky Harbor spokeswoman Deborah Ostreicher said the passengers were being rescreened to resume their trip to San Antonio on Thursday night. Local news reports said later that they had departed.
"No further information is available about the specific security issue that caused the flight to be diverted to Phoenix, but the passengers are all safe and police are investigating," Ostreicher said.
The plane that was searched was isolated on the northwest side of airport, and Sky Harbor officials said the incident wasn't causing any flight delays.
United Express is the brand name for several regional airlines that operate shorter flights for United Airlines.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
The Hydrozoa is a subgroup of cnidarians containging approximately 3700 species. It is a diverse group with a variety of life cycles, growth forms, and specialized structures. Like many cnidarians, hydrozoans have both polyp and medusa stages in their life cycle. They are distinguished from other groups by their complex life cycle, by the growth of medusae from buds rather than strobilae or from metamorphosis, by the presence of a velum inside the bell of the medusa, and by the production of gametes from ectodermal, rather than endodermal, tissue. Most hydrozoans are marine, and hydrozoan species are found in nearly every marine habitat type; a very few species live in freshwater. Most hydrozoans form colonies of asexual polyps and free-swimming sexual medusae. Colonies are usually benthic, but some, notably the siphonophores, are pelagic floaters. Colonial polyps often have some division of function, with certain polyps specialized for defense, feeding, or reproduction. Most hydrozoans are predators or filter-feeders, though a few have symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae), in the same way that other other groups of cnidarians do.
Better-known hydrozoans include Portuguese man-o-wars (Physalia physalis), the freshwater genus Hydra, fire coral (Milleporidae), and by-the-wind sailors (Velella velella).

Corruption, the root of all evil: Part-II

Continued from Part –I
Another case in point is the son of a poor farmer from a state affected by militancy. Everyday it is a struggle for survival for the farmer's family. The boy was very good in academics with a brilliant engineering mind. He was an all-round performer be it in sports, cultural activities or academics when he was at Sainik School. He could not pursue engineering due to their economic condition. Nevertheless he went on to complete a Bachelor degree in science. He was unfortunate to graduate at a time when militancy was at its peak in the state. There were hardly private sector companies that have set up offices in the state and getting job in the government sectors is like hitting the jackpot because of rampant corruption. In such situation when all roads of survival are closed and his dream of living a decent life is dashed he had only one option i.e.; joining one of the revolutionary groups' active in the state because many youths like him have become soft targets for militant activities. The fate of the boy is not the focal point of this illustration but it is about the highly educated unemployed youths like him who have deviated from the mainstream because of hopeless situation. The point here is 1) After completing a master or bachelor degree in a stream how can people expect a youth to work as manual labor ploughing fields or working at contract sites? 2) Why would a youth not revolt against the state if his hard work to excel has gone down the drain? 3) Do a youth need to hold a master or bachelor degree to work as manual labor?
Many upright officials, who tried to fight against the powerful and the corrupt system, either got killed or they themselves got entangle in the rot. People cannot expect these officials to fight against the system with their hands tied. Therefore, many more people like Anna Hazare, the agent of change are really needed to bring about a quantum shift in the whole system to eradicate corruption.

The victim of a drive-by shooting on the Pontchartrain Expressway this afternoon has been identified as a 20-year-old New Orleans man.
Bullets exploded amid steady traffic about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday near the South Broad Street overpass.
Several bullets entered a black sports car, hitting the driver and a passenger, according to police. The car came to a halt in the breakdown lane.
The driver, 20, died inside the car, according to New Orleans Police Department Deputy Chief Marlon Defillo. Paramedics rushed a second victim, a 19-year-old man, to the LSU Trauma Center in critical condition, said Jeb Tate, a New Orleans EMS spokesman.
Police did not have details on a possible motive or suspect as of mid-afternoon. However, "someone in that vehicle was the intended target," said NOPD Assistant Superintendent Marlon Defillo.
Defillo said the two victims stopped before the shooting at a convenience store somewhere on Carrollton Avenue.
They then entered the highway near Xavier University. Shortly after, at least one gunman in a silver sport-utility vehicle began firing on the victims.
Witnesses reported hearing four to six gunshots before the sports car came to rest on the side of the road.
Police and fire officials, as well as paramedics, responded to the scene. Interstate 10 eastbound was closed for a short time at the Carrollton Ave. exit. Traffic slowed to a standstill. Meanwhile, traffic on Howard Avenue, a stretch of which runs parallel to the interstate, was backed up.

PHOENIX (AP) - Robinson Cano outslugged Adrian Gonzalez to win the All-Star Home Run Derby that turned into a Yankees-Red Sox showdown, even through his Boston rival made the biggest splash at Chase Field.
Batting last, Cano defeated Gonzalez 12-11 in the finals Monday night after they each hit 20 home runs through two rounds.
Again highlighting the dangers of trying to catch a ball at a big league ballpark, a fan standing on a table above the pool deck fell over earlier trying to catch a Prince Fielder homer. The fan was grabbed by his brother before going all the way over, where he could have fallen about 20 feet, and was dangling by his feet when he was pulled back up.
Last week, a 39-year-old fan, Shannon Stone, died while trying to catch a ball thrown into the stands at a Rangers game in Arlington, Texas.

No 10 refuses to say if school dinners tested for horse meat
Downing Street described the latest incident as "distasteful" but stressed there was no evidence of a health risk and urged consumers to follow the FSA advice.
A Number 10 spokeswoman said the matter appeared to involve "acts of criminality" which were being investigated by the police, including officers from the UK.
She could not say, however, whether any tests had been done on school dinners, hospital and prison meals or other state-provided food.

After running for a while now, I came to realise that I needed motivation regularly to keep running, be it a new running route, a new running gadget, a new pair of running shoes or even a change in the training schedule. Recently, it came from a very unlikely source – the tailor.
The last time I went to the tailor was back in 2011. Surprisingly, they still have the record of my measurements then. The tailor, who did the measurements then, even added three Chinese characters on the record that said I have spare tire. Brutal, but honest.
I mentioned to the tailor that they will need to re-measure since I have lost some weight, so he did. However, he simply refused to believe the measurements as he said it deviated too much from those on my record. He measured again and again, while referring to my old records again and again. Finally, he was convinced after I told him I have been running.
I know I lost weight, as a matter of fact, I lost 12kg since I started running regularly at the end of 2012 even though I have a lot more to go before my ideal weight, but I did not realise I lost that much till I compared my current measurements with the one back in 2011. It definitely did wonders to my ego, but most importantly, it provided me with another motivation to keep running.
The next time if I have any doubts as to why I am subjecting myself to the pain, the misery, the cramps from running, I just need to think of my tailor.

A Public Health Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance
An action plan released in March 2011 by the Interagency Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance, co-chaired by the CDC, FDA, and NIH. The action items are organized into four focus areas: surveillance, prevention and control, research, and product development. Comments on the plan and on the Transatlantic Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance report from December 2010 were released on April 15, 2011, by Anthony D. So, M.D., MPA, and Quentin Ruiz-Esparza on behalf of ReAct and the Duke University Program on Global Health and Technology Access.
Combating Antimicrobial Resistance: Policy Recommendations to Save Lives
In commemoration of World Health Day 2011, The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) released the official publication "Combating Antimicrobial Resistance: Policy Recommendations to Save Lives," which summarizes IDSA recommendations about how to address antibiotic resistance. APUA is a strong supporter of IDSA's work to address the dry antibiotic pipeline and the crisis of antibiotic resistance.
STAAR (Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance) Act
APUA is part of a national coalition to promote passage of the STAAR (Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance) Act (S. 2313/H.R. 2400), which was introduced May 13, 2009. Led by Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT), Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT), STAAR will amend the Public Health Service Act to enhance efforts to address antimicrobial resistance and re-establish the Antimicrobial Resistance Task Force. The goal is to strengthen federal antimicrobial resistance surveillance, prevention and control.
IDSA 10x'20 Initiative
APUA endorses IDSA's advocacy campaign, the 10x'20 initiative, to address the dry antibiotic pipeline and call for 10 new antibiotics by 2020. 10 x '20 encourages the development of antibiotics and the improvement of diagnostic tests for priority resistant infections, as well as the creation of incentives that stimulate new antibacterial research and development. Read IDSA's Report, Bad Bugs, No Drugs.
Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act (PAMTA)
APUA is part of a national coalition to promote passage of the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act (PAMTA) of 2009 (S. 619/H.R. 1549). Spearheaded by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), PAMTA will limit non-therapeutic antibiotic use in food-animal production and preserve antibiotics for the treatment of human and animal diseases. See Recent APUA Activities to Improve Antibiotic Use in Food Animals
FDA Final Guidance #209
On April 13, 2012, the FDA issued a final Guidance on the Judicious Use of Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs in Food-Producing Animals, concluding that the unnecessary or inappropriate use of medically important antimicrobials in food animal production is not beneficial to public health. In agreement with APUA, FDA recommends that antibiotics be used with veterinary oversight. FDA does not consider use for growth promotion or improvement of feed efficiency to be judicious, but does consider antimicrobial use for treatment, control, and prevention of disease to be "necessary for assuring the health of food-producing animals."

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - A measure to remove an unconstitutional statute from Louisiana's law books moved past a House committee Wednesday after a spirited debate.
By a 9-6 vote, statutes that outlaw certain homosexual activity were struck down. The US Supreme Court decided a decade ago that a similar Texas law was unconstitutional.
Louisiana has failed to remove its similar law from the books, but not all were in favor of it.
State Rep. Pat Smith, D-Baton Rouge, wants the law off the books. She argued the issue is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
In Baton Rouge, some men were arrested in a park on sodomy charges that were later dropped.
"It really is a law enforcement bill that is inefficient and needs to come off the books so that no one in our cities and parishes gets sued for arresting people for something that is unconstitutional," Smith said.
The measure now moves to the full House, but Capitol observers believe it will have a hard time getting off the House floor.

Smaller, Agile Shops Will Win The BattleRE: Jonah Bloom's "Mr. Sorrell, Big Agencies Are Not Outpacing Smaller Rivals" (AA, April 27). Sir Martin Sorrell's belief that Goliaths will fare better than the Davids fails to recognize that a new kind of agency has emerged -- one that is global, independent, integrated, media-neutral and, more important, has one P&L. This is a model that can offer ambitious and commercially astute clients the value, quality, investment and commitment they deserve.
The real benefits of scale and independence over the apparent benefit of just scale gives this new breed the ability to build depth, attract talent, and win and retain good clients. Independence means being agile enough to offer true "client-centricity" and allows a level of teaming and dynamism that cannot be replicated in traditional networks. It also fosters a culture that drives interest, understanding, loyalty and collaboration.
Sir Martin's recent failure to make Enfatico work highlights the traditional networks' struggle to respond positively to the changing market conditions and the demands of their clients. I'd argue that independents can better meet the demands of clients looking to consolidate thanks to three strong elements that work in harmony: agency agility, strong culture and discipline alignment.
So as the big networks (lacking in these vital ingredients) look to cope with more dynamic trading conditions, we believe there is a huge opportunity for the emergence of a new way to be a global marketing agency. This will see a new commercial model built to offer agency agility -- the ability to respond effectively to changing and challenging market conditions and client needs. It needs to be real-time, consumer-led, and offer both multiple specialism and the ability to blend it effectively around a client need.
These new agencies need to have a strong and authentic vested interest in the client's business. This creates an empathy and understanding that the networks cannot re-create. The arse is falling out of the network market, and it's time for Sorrell to own up and stop trying to buy his way out of trouble.

Anger over cuts to Chrysler's budgetRE: "Obama Halves Chrysler's Planned Marketing Budget" (AA, May 11). This is sick. If Obama wanted to be a CEO of a business, he should have gone into the business world. According to his supervisor at the law firm he worked at in Chicago, Obama had a hard time grasping the "big picture," and this was on cases that involved rents, furnace repairs, etc. Maybe that is why he has run up unsustainable debts, i.e., he really doesn't know how much a trillion is. This is clearly unconstitutional and a blatant abuse of power.
Dubuque, Iowa
Obama's cut of Chrysler's marketing budget is a bald-faced violation of the First Amendment. A suit should be brought immediately and driven as fast as possible to the Supreme Court. The suit should be joined by all media since it is a direct assault on them, as well.
Savannah, Ga.
Barry is an absolute idiot. When the auto industry needs more advertising, he unconstitutionally "cuts" Chrysler's budget. He is a tyrant, and he needs to be taken down a notch. We are dealing with someone who has never run a business, owned a business, or ever had to make sure to meet a payroll.

No one cares about paper-towel patternsRE: "Brawny and Bounty in Legal Squabble Over Paper Towel Patterns" (May 12, Adage.com). Seriously?
No one cares. Folks are concerned about jobs, families, kids, the economy. Does the paper towel work? Good. Make one that is good for the Earth, that doesn't have a lot of chemicals or dyes in it and that will disintegrate quickly in a landfill. As far as design, I couldn't care less and more important, couldn't tell you the imprinted design in the one I use.

The Government names the maritime area within Philippine jurisdiction at the country's western part "West Philippine Sea" instead of the general tag "South China Sea" | Photo courtesy of GMANews
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said, "All the other nations call the South China Sea based on how they perceive it. Vietnam calls it East Sea so it is but natural for us to call it West Philippine Sea."
Meanwhile, Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello said the government must assert authority over the country's territories.
"By renaming the South China Sea to Western Philippine Sea, we are taking a proactive move that strengthens our claim to these controversial waters and the natural resources found within," Bello told GMANews.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) which first publicly used the name on May 31, has explained earlier that using "West Philippine Sea" in referrence to the waters within the maritime territories of the Philippines is "in keeping with our tradition and history, as well as reflective of its proper geographic location."
The same waters, Assistant Foreign Secretary Ed Malaya said, "have long been called Dagat Luzon, or Luzon Sea by our fisherfolk and the rest of our people, and referred to as such in published maps since time immemorial after the major Philippine island of Luzon."

This is the reason Skeptics/Agnostics/Atheists Exist in societies.
If all people practiced their beliefs privately without pushing them into the Public Domain as being Real and Holding Absolute Truth as public religions persist in asserting, there would be no requirement for public skepticism and Atheism.
This is demonstrated by the evidence that in a truly Secular society, where religions are not promoted publicly, public atheism disappears and thus there is both freedom to believe and disbelieve without contention or ridicule.
Because no religion has any real proof that their religion is the one true religion and in fact no proof that the object of their worship actually exists, they are thus Ridiculed For Failing Their Burden Of Proof (BOP) Commitment.
Because to believe in a religion requires no BOP as the proof is your own internal consideration, nobody need question it.
Though the moment you try to convince anybody else, especially the General Public, the BOP becomes your Commitment, and if you fail such a demonstration of proof for your belief, you should expect to be Denigrated/Ridiculed.
Because it is equivalent to selling Olive Oil as a Cure For Cancer.
Like religion, Olive Oil has been used for centuries, and perhaps once upon a time some believed and the occasional Anecdotal Claim may have been made that it cured somebody's cancer.
Though over time, such claims have been deemed false and fraudulent, and now such claims fall on deaf ears as the public has developed a strong general consensus that such claims are bogus.
Exactly the same scenario now goes for Religion, as religion has never been able to demonstrate any consistent evidence for it's claims, as some claim Christianity reduces crime by it's adherence to the teachings of Jesus Christ, but statistically, most of the crimes committed in Christian societies are by Christians.
Thus a critical review of History demonstrates most of the claims of Christianity are as bogus as Olive Oil curing cancer.
3 Solutions:
1: Religion can reduce and possibly even stop their being Publicly Denigrated or Ridiculed is to stop pushing their unprovable claims in the Public Arena, such as on DDO and simply Believe In Private, not even Atheists will deny them, nor ridicule them for Private Beliefs.
2: Find Irrefutable Evidence for their Beliefs, then they will destroy Skepticism and likely have most Atheists believing along with them.
3: Find a deserted island and build a society that only has their belief system and not allow non-believers inside. They will likely be ridiculed by the rest of the world, so they will also need to cut off all communication with outsiders. Some Islamic countries are already attempting to do this by banning the Internet from their country or state.
What Do You Think?
Denigrated means to criticize UNfairly. I tend to criticize them fairly.
Some claim that religious people are stupid, not me, many are very intelligent. The problem with the ones that are actually smart is they fail to be able to apply logic. Again, I am not saying they lack logic but only fail to be able to apply to religion. The religion is so ingrained into them that it interrupts the logic signals in the brain. No matter how simply you put the logic, their brain just blocks them from understanding. I believe is a result of the long-term brain-washing they received.
Assertions require, in order to establish credibility, demonstrable evidence, and/or tangible material, and/or empirical support, and/or the utilization of our sensory apparatus to confirm that the assertion is indeed a validity.
Asserting that Harry potter's broomstick, the Nimbus 2000, exists physically beyond the book, requires the burden of proof to verify the physical existence of the broomstick. Unless the evidence can be accounted for, the notion is merely a statement pending verification.
Moreover, if religious occupants permeate their beliefs amongst the public with the intent to demonstrate God's existence, the burden of proof resides with them, and if fails to do so, their proclamations should be denigrated.
The whole idea behind religion is that you are believing in something that cannot be proved. The way that people are usually converted is not because they see something in the religion that they believe to be true, or real.
Also, by the same reasoning, you can ridicule and denigrate anyone who thinks evolution and the big bang THEORIES are true. (Not saying they aren't, and I personally believe that they are correct) By the nature of what they say, they can never be truly proved. There is no way to go back 13 billion years and see the big bang happen. Yes, there is evidence that they are correct. That does not mean that they have been proved though.
I think we should face the fact that it is pretty near impossible to prove or disprove anything beyond all doubt. That doesn't mean that we may not have extremely good reasons for adopting a particular position one way or the other. Nor does it mean it's not worth discussing or debating. I'm an atheist, but to me it's a cop out by atheists to insist that all the BOP lies with religion.
BOP fluctuates throughout the argument. It doesn't matter whether God or whoever one might believe in exists or not. If someone makes the claim "Such-and-such a deity exists," yes, they should have some sort of factual evidence for that because they have made a claim. BUT. If the opponent makes a claim that such-and-such a deity does /not/ exists, they, too, must show evidence for this sort of claim. So, in conclusion, a claim is a claim and BOP switches as the argument carries on. Whether someone successfully meets their BOP by arguing objective points is up to them.
The fact atheists never bother to read what religions actually use to support their religion, and are reduced to, at best poor caricatures of religion, or blind ignorance of actual claims is not failing the BOP. The side not listening is the one that has the failure. Being deaf to anything but ones preconceptions is not a logical failure on anyone else but those who choose deliberately not to listen or read.

Trinity High School Announces its 2014 Football Schedule
Louisville, Ky. – Trinity High School, Kentucky's 22-time football state champion, announces its 2014 varsity football schedule. The schedule features games against top-flight competition, with opponents from Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Florida.
The season kicks off with the annual scrimmage versus Fort Thomas Highlands High School, co-record holder for most football state championships in Kentucky.
The schedule includes the rivalry game against cross-town foe St. Xavier High School. The game annually draws one of the largest crowds for a regular season high school game in America.
Trinity will travel to play Cathedral High School (2013 Indiana state champs), Archbishop Moeller High School (2013 Ohio state champs), Ensworth High School (2013 Tennessee state champs) and Colerain High School (Ohio). Carmel High School (Ind.), led by former Trinity head coach Kevin Wright, will visit Trinity.
New opponents coming to Marshall Stadium in 2014 are Cocoa High School from Florida and Imhotep Charter High School from Pennsylvania.
Along with St. Xavier, other district opponents are duPont Manual High School and Louisville Male High School. We play at Manual and host Male.
Director of Athletics Dennis Lampley stated, "This schedule is exciting and challenging. We expect our coaches and players to be prepared for each game, work hard and improve. Athletics are an integral part of the overall mission of the school."
Head coach Bob Beatty said, "Our players have been working very hard this off-season. A schedule like this is great motivation to get better. Our fans will see us play great teams each week."
The Shamrocks will field nearly 100 seniors and juniors; many of them completed an undefeated junior varsity schedule against almost all of last year's varsity opponents. The freshman team lost one game last season and is seeing a large number of its players joining the varsity program.
Ten-game schedules for both the freshman and junior varsity squads are nearing completion.

Another year older and $7,500 richer, Callahan repeats Yankee Deery winSeptember 17th, 2014
FARLEY, Iowa – Joel Callahan finished the Yankee Dirt Track Classic Deery Series main event at Farley Speedway a year older and $7,500 richer.
The 100-lap IMCA Late Model tour event started late Saturday evening and finished in the wee hours on Sunday.
Callahan, who figured he turned 50 somewhere around lap 27, inherited the front spot when race-long leader Colby Springsteen cut his right rear tire on lap 74 and then led to the checkers in repeating as the big money Yankee winner.
"I think we step up our game for this race. There's a lot of adrenaline pumping," he said. "To me, this is the biggest race on the Deery schedule and not because of the pay but because it's at my home track."
"The track was fast from top to bottom," he added. "It didn't matter where you were running."
Richie Gustin was second in the best showing of his brief Deery career. Denny Eckrich was third and point leader Justin Kay roared all the way back to fourth after exiting to fix a flat tire on lap 58 and restarting at the rear.
The 59 entries for the Yankee were the most for a Deery Series event this season and the most in 78 races dating back to opening night in 2010.
Jason Rauen drew the pole but it was Springsteen shooting into the lead from his outside row one start.
The race was stopped following a lap 30 mishap that collected Tyler Droste, Terry Neal and Jason Hahne, then stayed green for the next 28 circuits.
Springsteen looked to have the race in hand before the flat tire relegated him to 16th and Callahan took over.
The last caution came with 12 laps left. Callahan was quickly celebrating in victory lane with crew chief Stan Thomas, crewman Al Dix, sons Zach and Joey, wife Cindy and daughter Stephanie.
"I focused on hitting my marks and keeping the car straight," said Callahan, also winner of the $250 Sunoco Race Fuels feature qualifier drawing. "I knew if I did that we'd still have tires at the 75-lap mark. That was key."
Scott Fitzpatrick earned the hard charger starting spot and Jeff Aikey and Brian Harris both took provisionals; all three advanced 14 positions to eighth, ninth and 10th, respectively.
Samples were taken from tires from each of the top five finishing cars and race results remain unofficial.
Next on the Deery Series schedule is the Saturday, Sept. 20 ½-mile show at Davenport Speedway. Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m., the grandstand opens at 5 p.m., hot laps are at 6:30 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m.
The tour concludes with a two-day show Friday and Saturday, Oct. 3 and 4 at West Liberty Raceway.

Every year, many aspiring writers search for the assistance they need to break out–the agent, the editor, the publisher, whatever it is. And every year, many writers conferences offer to provide that assistance. The problems, of course, are that they are not free and they are not all in your hometown. How do you decide whether a conference is worth the investment? How do you decide which of the many you should attend?
I have some insight on these questions. As you may already know, I've organized a writers conference for many years now. It's a lot of work and not terribly profitable, but every time I think about ending it, I come back to the same question: How would my life have changed if something like this had been available when I was trying to break into the business? I was a Oklahoma punk who'd never even met a writer, much less been in a hotel filled with them. Information was tough to find. I survived, but it wasn't easy and that certainly might have helped.
And that's why I put on the conference.
I think hard every year about how to make this year's conference as useful as possible. Social opportunities are great, but I want the conference to provide more than networking. Information is the most valuable professional asset, so I try to provide the info people need to succeed. This has become even more important in recent years, as the publishing industry has undergone so many changes in so little time. I make sure people can find agents and editors, too. While I can't guarantee publishing contracts, I can guarantee opportunities, information, and valuable feedback. The rest is up to the writer.
Here are the factors you should consider when deciding whether to attend a conference:
- If you're hoping for an agent (or editor), examine the credentials of the people attending in advance. Sadly, some conferences will invite (or permit) agents who do not have strong track records, to fill slots cheaply or because they lack the contacts necessary to get to the top players. I've seen conferences with agents I wouldn't even allow my students to pitch. If you're going to commit to an agent, there should be a good reason. Make sure the person you're pitching has sold books. Their website should list their clients as well as past sales. Make sure they represent the kind of book you're writing. Make sure they're with a reputable agency. If you can't tell from their webpage (or they don't have one), that should set off warning bells.
- Some conferences are so large they take the cattle-call approach to private consultations. Everyone is released at the same time in a large room and you can talk to as many as possible in a set period of time. You'll like spend most of your time waiting, not talking. Some conferences make you pay an extra fee, per pitch. I recommend smaller or midsize conferences with reputable agents, so you know you'll get to talk to the ideal people–and have enough time to have a real conversation. Plan to spend maybe 10% or your allotted time actually pitching. Spend the rest of the time listening. Go in with smart questions, things you need to know. Even if they don't take you on, what would they recommend you do next? Instead of expecting an instant contract, view it as a learning experience, a rare opportunity for a professional consultation. Pick the brains of industry leaders. Most will be happy to talk.
- Give the rest of the speakers the same scrutiny. You should pick your sessions based not only on topic but also credentials. Even if the topic doesn't address your primary need, a knowledgable speaker can impart information you may well find useful. Look for people who know what they're talking about. If an opportunity for a chance conversation comes along, be prepared with questions. Don't ask the obvious, stuff you could Google. Dig deeper. Take notes. Buy recordings. Then put the information into practice immediately, before you've had time to forget it.
You probably won't be surprised to hear that when I plan my conference, I only bring in agents I would be happy to have as my own, and I only choose speakers who are knowledgeable and know how to impart that knowledge. And I am always available to make sure people make contact with the people they want to see (or get anything else they need). I mother-hen the whole shebang, doing my best to make sure everyone is happy and everyone gets the tools they need to succeed. If you have any questions about the conference (OKC, Sept 22-24), feel free to email me: firstname.lastname@example.com.
