A little more than a week after journalists at Southern Weekly, one of China's most daring newspapers, clashed with propaganda authorities in southern China's Guangdong province over alleged censorship of a New Year's editorial, China watchers are still trying to suss out what the conflict -- which inspired anti-censorship protests both online and in the streets -- means for the future of media in China.
To try to get a better handle on the context surrounding the fracas, China Real Time got in touch with Ying Zhu, a professor of media studies at City University of New York, who recently took a deep look at China's state broadcaster in "Two Billion Eyes: The Story of China Central Television."
While not shocked by the Southern Weekly journalists' conflict with propaganda officials, Ms. Zhu described the secondary protests it inspired as a sign of "real progress" in Chinese society. Edited excerpts:
How surprised were you by the reaction of the Southern Weekly journalists?
Not all that surprised, as this is certainly not the first time Southern Weekly has had its run in with the censors. The paper has lived up to its prized rebel reputation. Emboldened by the paper's popularity with the public and an increasingly transparent media environment fueled by the Internet, the journalists there simply exploded—enough is enough.
What about the reaction of others outside the newspaper -- the protesters calling for freedom of speech and the more subtle expressions of support from other news organizations and websites?
That is the real story of the standoff— the popular support displayed in a very public manner against media censorship! The most exciting part of the entire episode is not about journalists vs. the censors but about the public backlash against censorship! I'm thrilled to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A baby step perhaps, but a milestone never the less, an earthshaking moment in the building of a civil society.
Public demonstrations of varying scale have been a regular fixture on Chinese streets in recent years, but never before has the public expressed an outcry for concerns beyond immediate bread and butter issues. This is real progress, moving from the basic physical needs to social and creative needs. And were it not so wrapped up in its own outmoded and regressive insistence on control, the Chinese state could actually take credit for years of economic reform that have given rise to a Chinese middle class that now demands more than just food on the table—they want food for thought! Samuel Huntington might have a point that economic development produces rapid social change, which leads to mass political demands that challenge the status quo, but I hope that the Chinese state will not follow up with Huntington's prescription to use force to address political concerns.
The journalists at Southern Weekly say they were angry at Guangdong provincial propaganda chief Tuo Zhen for instituting a system of pre-publication censorship. How does traditional media censorship usually work? Is pre-publication interference really so rare?
Make no mistake that state media continues to be on the censor's short leash, although the intensity of control varies from paper to paper. State-owned or subsidized publications must follow a standard approval procedure from production to publication.
But marketization has changed China's media dynamic. The needs of the public and the state frequently clash (though the state would like for you to believe that it acts in the best interest of the public) and the market has functioned as a liberating force in nudging journalists towards attending to popular sentiment, thereby mitigating the state's draconian control.
The city of Guangzhou's pro-commerce atmosphere provided fertile ground for Southern Weekly to be bold.
In practice, journalists have the incentive to dodge the tall orders of censorship, and thus there are frequent transgressions, albeit mostly within the boundaries of what is permissible. In the case of the Southern Weekend, the censor remains vigilant partly because the paper is popular among the public, which makes the state extremely anxious.
There's an impression among some in the West that Chinese journalists are docile mice who serve the interests of the government and the Communist Party. How many Chinese journalists do you think share the frustrations and ideals of the reporters and editors at Southern Weekly?
I believe that many journalists in China would tell you that there is no difference in journalistic values and ethics between East and West. Like in the West, journalists in China too want their media to function as the "fourth estate" or the "conscience of society/people/public."
I am offended by the view that there is something intrinsically timid about Chinese culture that prevents a vigorous press from surfacing and functioning. I don't buy the notion that the Chinese journalists are not capable of performing to par. The brief moment of open and candid earthquake coverage in 2008 is a case in point. As I recounted in "Two Billion Eyes," when left to follow their professional instincts, Chinese journalists are capable of performing their civic duty in the highest journalistic standard.
Southern Weekly has a long tradition of pushing the boundaries, getting punished, and then coming back to push again. How is it that the paper has managed to stay so daring for so long?
It's cultural and geographical proximity to Hong Kong has certainly played a part in Southern Weekly's more liberal outlook. It's useful to remember, though, that Southern Weekly is in the business of selling papers, so not everything it does is about citizen rights and freedom of speech. The financial bottom line is frequently a concern as well.
How does the explosion of social media play into the way the government handles traditional media?
The censor's hands are very much forced by the rapid and unfiltered information flow on social media, which explains their clumsy overreaction. The interference from the provincial Propaganda Department was in reality "much ado about nothing." Southern Weekly's New Year's editorial extolling adherence to the constitution as the new Chinese dream was not out of the bounds to begin with. After all, Xi Jinping himself after he was anointed emphasized the importance of the constitution.
The morphing of a New Year's editorial from yearning for a constitutional dream to praising the party is outrageously idiotic -- a reminder of how moribund the Chinese censorship regime is. I lampooned the system at a recent "Google/Youtube Author Talk," arguing that hyperactive censorship has become the worst hindrance to China's own global soft-power campaign. After the Southern Weekly standoff, even the People's Daily lamented how "the local propaganda chiefs are ruining the central government's image."
How would you characterize Chinese journalists in the current era in terms of their willingness to take on propaganda authorities?
It's a delicate dance. They are getting increasingly bold but do have to exercise self-protection.
What changes, if any, do you expect the new Chinese leadership to make to the way media is managed in the country?
The paternalistic state will have to find a smarter way to exercise control. It will need to learn to trust and empower its own people.
Thought crime no longer sits well with an enlightened public. Censorship cannot eliminate dissent--it will only ferment further discontent, as coercion would eventually lead to rebellion.
Can you envision a scenario in which the Communist Party would significantly loosen its grip on the media?
That day will come only when the party is willing to cede its monopolistic control of politics, economics, and culture.

I have been out-of-touch with Air Delights for some years. When I decided to return, they were there, ready and able to help me. They even had my old order records from years back. This was a great help to me. I didn't even need to order new dispensers , because my old ones worked just like new.
Due to our order history they followed up with a phone call to ensure what was ordered was actually what we wanted. Turns out we ordered incorrectly. They made the adjustment on the phone and shipped the correct item.
From seeing the pop-up ad, through ordering the needed parts cheaper than factory pricing, to installing for a flushable toilet again---THREE DAYS ONLY!!! Impressive, outstanding, and better than most!
I've been using products from Air Delights for years and have loved all of the products that I purchased. There have never been any problems with the products or customer service. I've actually gotten some of my friends interested in the products.
I've dealt with you folks before so I know the kind of service I will receive. I like the fact that there is a place like yours that people can shop at and get the service we deserve. I've decided we needed another set of this product in our upstairs bathroom since we have someone else utilizing the downstairs bathroom. GREAT SERVICE!
They expedited shipping to me and got it her super fast and were MORE than courteous when I called. The Best!
This commercial supplier has always been patient with my household sized orders. They even called once when what I had ordered was not the same as my previous orders. Saved me from having to return a mistaken order. I love their air freshener products. It's not always easy to find air fresheners that I can use with my allergies.
Your company is the best.You save me money on the part that I needed.Also I will be order off your company if I need anything else.
Our Flushmate 503 developed a broken cartridge at 4PM central time. AirDelights is pacific time, so by the time I placed my order it was 2:47 pacific time. They sent the parts by FEDEX next day standard delivery. I had the parts in my hand in St Louis MO at 10:18 AM the next morning. The order was before 3PM so they shipped the same day.
Ease of ordering and length of time on delivery and the pleasing aroma of items purchased are all great! I will be purchasing more in the near future. Thanks to everyone involved with my order.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The No. 26 Georgia College women's tennis team (12-6, 7-3 PBC) was halted Sunday at No. 8 Columbus State (11-4, 8-1 PBC), 9-0. The last time GC was blanked was to No. 1 Armstrong Atlantic Feb. 20.
The Bobcats fell quickly 3-0 in doubles and it would not get any better. Kayla Barksdale (Augusta, Ga.) and Bertille Lion (Lyon, France) played out of the one spot and had their seven-match win streak snapped by Madeline Johnson and Loriane Favoretto, 8-2. May Johnson (Sydney, Australia) and Michelle Lingner (Dunwoody, Ga.) played the closest doubles match of the day, but fell to Tracy Castillo and Olivera Jokic, 8-5.
In third doubles, Lisa Setyon (Paris, France) and Kelly Edwards (Roswell, Ga.) dropped their match to Andrea Redrado and Renata Paiva, 8-0.
Lion was back in action after sitting out Saturday but was downed by No. 18 Castillo, 6-2, 6-1 in first singles. Johnson's result wasn't any better as she was toppled by Favoretto, 6-2, 6-3. Barksdale lost a hard-fought match out of the No. 3 spot to Johnson, 6-4, 6-3.
Jokic topped Lochner in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0. Setyon battled out of the five spot, losing a heartbreaking first set, 7-5 and then was easily defeated in the second, 6-1. The loss snaps her eight-match winning streak. Lingner played out of the six spot and concluded the match for the Bobcats falling to Paiva, 6-4, 6-3.
The Bobcat women are back in action Tuesday, April 5 at 2:30 p.m., traveling to No. 12 Clayton State University.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

D.A. begins ouster proceedings against Prairie Village councilman
Authorities say David Morrison gave man key code access to secure areas
The Johnson County District Attorney's Office said it has begun ouster proceedings against a Prairie Village council member accused of letting a homeless man stay at City Hall last year.
Prairie Village authorities said Councilman David Morrison befriended Kelley Malone, 36, and let him into City Hall.
Security cameras showed Malone in various parts of the building alone, using Morrison's key code for access to the building's secure areas. He was discovered by a city employee.
"I made a huge mistake. I recognize that now. I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to tell you, the other members of the council, the city, city staff and the mayor," Morrison said at a council meeting in November.
District Attorney Steve Howe released the following statement:
"Our office has alleged violations of criminal statutes including: criminal trespass, theft, and official misconduct along with other facts to support this petition. Mr. Morrison's actions are a breach of his duties and responsibilities as a Prairie Village City Councilman and should result in his forfeiture of office pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1205."

UFC 127 lacking star power
UFC's next pay-per-view ($44.99) is 127 on Feb. 26, which airs live from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia.While the card lacks quality star power and any title fights, the main event is somewhat exciting as Jon Fitch (23-3) fights B.J. "Prodigy" Penn (16-7-1).
Fitch is 13-1 in the UFC and, wanting another title shot, he needs a good victory over the former two-division champion Penn, who has lost two of his last three fights, both to lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.
Fitch got vocal this week and said that Penn was a legend, but he was going to destroy the legend and start his own. Fitch does have several quality wins, but his last eight have come by decision. His only loss in the UFC came in 2008 by unanimous decision to Georges St. Pierre.Penn, after two consecutive losses, rejuvenated his career with a first round TKO over veteran Matt Hughes at UFC 123 in November.
Fitch has a big wrestling background and isn't flashy. He smothers his opponents with takedowns. But despite not being the biggest Penn fan, I think Penn wins this one and goes one to get one more title shot before he calls it quits.
On the undercard, "The Count" Michael Bisping (20-3) will fight Jorge "El Conquistador" Rivera (19-7). There's also Dennis Siver (17-7) vs. George Sotiropoulos (14-2); Chris "Lights Out" Lytle (30-17-5) vs. Brian Ebersole (46-14-1); and Chris Camozzi (14-3) fights Kyle "KO" Noke (18-4-1).
Just not enough pop for me to cough up 50 bucks for this pay-per-view.
Three matches will be shown on the ION Network (Time Warner Channel 73) with Spencer "The King" Fisher (24-6) vs. Ross "The Real Deal" Pearson (11-4); Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson (10-1) vs. James Te Huna (12-4); and Riki Fukuda (17-4) vs. Nick "The Promise" Ring (10-0).
UFC has more than 5 million fans on Facebook, and that number could go much higher after Saturday because the company will stream two fights live on its Facebook page — Jason Reinhardt (20-1) vs. Tiequan "The Mongolian Wolf" Zhang (17-1) and Tom "The Juggernaut" Blackledge (10-6) vs. Anthony "The Hippo" Perosh (10-6).
Tito Ortiz has been pulled out the UFC Fight Night 24 main event with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-4) due to injury and will be replaced by undefeated Phil Davis (8-0).
The event takes place March 26 at KeyArena in Seattle and will air live on Spike TV.
With Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (31-8) passing up a title fight with Shogun Rua due to short notice, Jackson will now fight Matt Hamill (10-2) at UFC 130 on May 30. It will be the co-main event with Edgar defending his lightweight title against Gray Maynard for a third time.
Two MMA organizations will be holding events as Texas Rage in the Cage Amateur Association presents Cage Rage 11 at Ford Arena on March 5 at 7 p.m. Scheduled for the main event is Jordan Morgan of Buna fighting Josh Quayhagen of Lake Charles for the TRCAA lightweight title. Tickets are $45 and $27.
Based in Houston, the IXFA will bring pro MMA fights to Nutty Jerry's in Winnie on April 23, and tickets range from $125-$10.Scheduled to make a special guest appearance is UFC Hall of Fame fighter "Iceman" Chuck Liddell.
Confirmed to fight and make his professional debut is Beaumont's own Cody "Wolverine" Williams. Williams, a West Brook graduate, trains under Mike Berryhill at American Top Team Beaumont.

The first impression the bass trombone gives is simply that of an overgrown, perhaps tumorous, trombone. The bass trombone can sound like that, too, when it goes deep down to its lowest B flat, at the bottom of the orchestra, buzzing like nobody's business. But the bass trombone's secret is a velvety smooth top and an ability to swing. Close your eyes and it becomes, astonishingly, the suave Frank Sinatra of the orchestra.
Bass Trombone
Once a family of instruments, the trombone is only found now in the orchestra as the B-flat tenor powerhouse and the bass trombone, with a longer slide and double tubing.

Ngeow, Wei Cheong and Atkins, S. and Morgan, C.R. and Metcalfe, A.D. and Boissonade, F.M. and Loescher, A.R. and Robinson, P.P. (2011) The effect of Mannose-6-Phosphate on recovery after sciatic nerve repair. Brain Research, 1394. pp. 40-48. ISSN 0006-8993

We have determined the effect of applying Mannose-6-Phosphate (M6P), a scar reducing agent, to a site of sciatic nerve repair. In anaesthetised C57-Black-6 mice, the left sciatic nerve was sectioned and repaired using 4 epineurial sutures. Either 100 mu l of 600 mM Mannose-6-Phosphate (29 animals), or 100 mu l of phosphate buffered saline as a placebo control (29 animals), was injected into and around the nerve repair site. A further group acted as sham-operated controls. After 6 or 12 weeks of recovery the extent of regeneration was assessed electrophysiologically and the percentage area of collagen staining at the repair site was analysed using picrosirius red and image analysis. Gait analysis was undertaken pre-operatively and at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks postoperatively, to assess functional recovery. At 6 weeks the compound action potentials recorded from the regenerated nerves in the M6P group were significantly larger than in the placebo controls (P=0.015), and the conduction velocities were significantly faster (P=0.005), but there were no significant differences between these groups at 12 weeks. Gait analysis suggested better early functional recovery in the M6P group. In both repair groups there was a significant reduction in collagen staining between 6 and 12 weeks, suggestive of scar remodelling. We conclude that the normal scar remodelling process aids long term recovery in repaired nerves. Administration of 600 mM M6P to the nerve repair site enhances nerve regeneration and functional recovery in the early stages, and may lead to improved outcomes. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Method & Red
- 2004-06-14 17:43:29
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2004-06-14
Filmed in Hollywood by Regency Television and 20th Century Fox Television. Executive producers, Kell Cahoon, Will Gluck, Method Man; co-executive producer, Ira Ungerleider; producers, Redman, Robert Lloyd, Shauna Garr, James Ellis; director, Jeff Melman; writer, Cahoon.
Method Man - HimselfRedman - HimselfDorothea - Anna Maria HorsfordNancy Blaford - Beth LittlefordSkyler Blaford - David HenrieDupree - Jeremiah BirkettLil' Bit - Lahmard TateBill Blaford - Peter Jacobson
Based on early sampling of Fox's comedy development, next year's scheduling forecast calls for a whole lot of "American Idol." The network's latest laugh-deprived exercise, "Method & Red," might as well be dubbed "The Beverly Homeboys," with two suddenly wealthy rappers invading a ritzy New Jersey neighborhood. And while those who groused about "Soul Plane" might raise the issue of unflattering stereotypes (both black and white), the major deficiency is an all-style, no-substance approach sorely lacking in humor. Seriously, if we can't all just get along, can't we at least be funnier about it?
Hip-hop artist Method Man also had a part in "Soul Plane," and he teams here as producer and star with Redman, playing "fictionalized versions of themselves," per Fox's publicity notes. Flush with record and tour money, the two move on up to a gated community and take the former's grounded mother (Anna Maria Horsford) with them.
It's a wonderful life, one that threatens to strain the existing supply of buxom female extras. The problem is those wacky white people, beginning with their Realtor neighbor Nancy ("The Daily Show's" Beth Littleford), who doesn't care for the loud parties and desperately wants the duo evicted.
There's something rather retro about all of this, down to a throwback laugh track and the pair's goofy friends. Most of the jokes, however, hinge on terrified neighbors instantly willing to hand over property (including, conspicuously, a well-dressed African-American) at the sight of Method and Red, who appear as oblivious to it all as Jethro and Jed were.
"How we gonna get a bunch of middle-aged white people to like us?" one of their friends asks, before they decide to win the neighbors over by passing out fruitcakes. So they chase the neighbors around with baked treats as "Why Can't We Be Friends?" plays in the background, with predictable results.
Things do improve somewhat in the second episode, which finds Method and Red trying to honor a promise to attend the birthday party of Nancy's nerdy son Skyler (David Henrie) as they entertain a skeptical magazine writer. Eager to protect their image, mom even agrees to pretend she's the maid, while insisting on carving out her own "skank-free" zone in the house.
Obviously, there's plenty of broad racial comedy at the local multiplex, yet most of those projects play to a niche audience -- a luxury that isn't always available in primetime. The real barrier to crossover appeal in this case, though, is more about stale execution than the show's hip-hop sensibility.
Once again, Fox seems convinced visual flair and an energetic soundtrack will trump poor scripts and limited characters. Pilots sometimes can skate by on those qualities, but they're seldom sturdy enough to sustain a series.
The premiere's one glint of warmth involves Skyler, who, fearing a butt-whipping at school, wants Method and Red to cruise around town with him. "Pump your brakes, little man," Red tells him. Fox is racing ahead with its so-called year-round programming strategy, but with the creative tank thus far registering more than half-empty, that sounds like pretty sage advice.

Hundreds of people gathered Saturday night in Rochester, New Hampshire, in honor of slain journalist James Wright Foley.
Foley, who was kidnapped in Syria in 2012, was beheaded in a video posted to YouTube.
Terrorist organization ISIS claimed responsibility for Foley's death.
U.S. & World
A group of Syrian-Americans organized the gathering to send the message that ISIS does not speak for them and is not what Islam is about.
"We are honored that you care and love Jim. We are honored that you recognize the sacrifices that he made," said Foley's father, John Foley. "He loved the Syrian people. He was devoted to telling their story and to doing whatever he could to help their plight."
"I pray that we will take up the challenge to love like Jim did and to really work for peace in this world," said Foley's mother, Diane Foley.
The Foley's later released a statement on the Free James Foley Facebook page:
"Today we were warmed by friends at a candlelit vigil right here in Rochester. It was organized by NuDay Syria, a New Hampshire-based Syrian American humanitarian group focused to bringing humanitarian aid inside Syria and to help displaced Syrians in the bordering areas around Syria. People of many faiths, origins and walks of life came together under a beautiful New England summer sky. We were united by a common desire to keep Jim's message about Syria's quest to freedom alive in the world. Many people present spontaneously gave beautiful tributes to Jim. Their words spoke directly to our hearts."
A memorial mass is scheduled at 2 p.m. Sunday at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Rochester.

A New Kind of Game
By Ashley Conrad, Bethany (Kan.) College, NAIA Virtual Intern, Class of 2013
HILLSBORO, Kan. - Tabor College (Kan.), a Christian institution in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC), has added bowling to its repertoire of sports for the 2011-2012 school year. With head coach Todd Zenner, the Bluejays will look to take this evolving sport to the next level.
Bowling is considered an "emerging " sport in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). According to the NAIA official website, a sport is deemed "emerging" if it is recognized by the organization as a varsity sport, but does not sponsor an official national championship tournament. Additionally, 25-49 schools must participate in the program. To qualify as a "championship" sport, 50 or more institutions must designate bowling as a varsity sport.
The NAIA added men's bowling to the national championships list in 1962. A national championship was sponsored until 1978 when it was dropped from the organization. 2010 marked a resurgence in bowling upon gaining varsity sponsorship for men and women and creating the first national invitational in 2011.
Tabor is now making its mark in Kansas collegiate bowling. From an article in the Hillsboro
Free Press by Katie Morford and Don Ratzlaff, Tabor wanted to attract more students by adding the sport. The Vice President of Athletics, Rusty Allen, commented, "Nearly all of the schools in the city of Wichita and the suburbs have bowling teams with large numbers of people on them."
By adding bowling, Kansas high school bowlers will have the opportunity to compete in another arena at the collegiate level.
Tabor's breakthrough idea needed someone with experience and desire to head the team. Then head coach Todd Zenner came along. Zenner is no stranger to the popular ten-pin game. Morford and Ratzlaff explain that Zenner bowled for Wichita State, when they claimed the national title in 1993. He also had a stint on the professional tour and owned a pro shop in Dallas, Texas. There he offered lessons to beginners and pros alike.
Raised in Newton, Kan., Zenner is glad to be coaching close to home.
"It is nice to be home where I made a name for myself, but most of all it is nice to be back with my 9 year old daughter."
When the position opened, he jumped at the opportunity to coach the Bluejays.
"I was hired to build a successful bowling program at Tabor and to recruit good student-athletes. Tabor wanted to be one of the first to add bowling as a varsity sport in the KCAC and NAIA."
He hopes his upbringing in the area will be an advantage to the recruiting process. Although Zenner did not help much with the process this year, a majority of the bowlers hail from south central Kansas. In the future, Zenner's athletes should be more than a bowler.
"What I look for is the student/athlete that is ready to get an education first and foremost. I want all my athletes to get an education. I also look for the student that fits what we stand for at Tabor. There [sic] bowling game is important but not the only thing I look for."
Daniel Brodell, a sophomore (academically) transferred from Imperial Valley College in Imperial, Calif., fits those characteristics. Brodell isn't like the other bowlers. He started bowling when he was 17 and has only had three years of competitive experience. However, Tabor College attracted the West Coast native.
"I felt like it was God's calling. I denied a scholarship to come here. Something told me to give it a shot."
Like Brodell, fellow bowler, Austin Jones gave Tabor a chance. Jones is a freshman from nearby Newton, Kan.
"I was attracted to the making history part of a first year program." He was also influenced by
Zenner taking the head coach position. "That was a selling point to me. Zenner and I go way back."
Both the men and women's teams are currently redshirted this season. Coach Zenner believes the teams lack experience and needs the year to improve. They will compete all over the United States, with Wichita State University and Newman University being the closest competition. Regional coaches have a plan in the works to create a conference with schools that are no further than four hours away. Their official season runs from October to April, when the national invitational is held.
Even though the teams are not eligible to compete nationally, Zenner still has the drive to make the Bluejays the best they can be.
"I will do my best to use my experinces [sic] and knowledge of the game to prepare my teams for competition and I will use my love and passion for the game to make them successful in bowling and life."
And what would make the team the best? Beating the best. According to Zenner, the best is his alma mater, Wichita State University.
All the bowlers have a positive outlook for the future. The athletes hope the program continues to grow and they are excited for the chance to compete in national tournaments next year. Brodell states that bowling is, "One of the things I look forward to besides academics."
This optimistic attitude will enhance their development and experience as a team.
The NAIA Bowling Invitational Proposal Committee has scheduled the second invitational tournament for March 30-April 1, 2012 in Indianapolis, Ind. Since the Bluejays have redshirted this year, they will not be attending the invitational. They plan to compete in the tournament in 2013.

Evidence of Rockstar Games reissuing crime thriller L.A. Noire later this year in the form of a "Complete Edition" has reportedly been spotted by Eurogamer Czech. That apparent re-release and the PC version of Team Bondi's game are supposedly slated for November.
Eurogamer cites its Czech counterpart in its report on the arrival of L.A. Noire Complete Edition, which would presumably bundle the post-release downloadable content with the core experience.
After Rockstar's re-release of Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition and the forthcoming Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition, a re-release for L.A. Noire just before the busy holiday shopping season would make a lot of sense. Nothing official yet, but we shall soon see.

Can anybody help me? Please? :(
Student or Learner
Nowadays doctors can become very rich. Maybe they should not focus on profitable activities such as plastic surgery or looking after rich patients and concentrate more on patients health, no matter how rich they are?
Money, money, money. It seems like every problem, every argument, every action boils down to money. Money somewhat blinds us, even blinds ones with one of the most prestige jobs such as doctors. Doctors, nowadays, incline to work in plastic surgery field or look after rich patients. This begs a question as whether they should concentrate more on patients health instead of money only.
To devise the best solutions for this problem, we might have to analyse the root of it. As far as I am concerned, the first and also mentioned one is money. There is no denying that plastic surgery and rich patients are good sources of income. That women were and still are quite obssessed with their physical appearances is a common understanding. Given that the beautiful people, in general, stand higher chance of being taken on, plastic surgery is becoming hotter than ever before. So it is intensely understandable that doctors tend to master this field. Secondly, the problem roots in the lack of passion. Our belief that all doctors devote themselves unconditionally to taking care of patients is no longer right. Most doctors are, but some others may not. Doctors are flesh and blood and they have to make a living for themselves and their families. They, therefore, find rich patients more appealing.
From these causes, I suggested some solutions. Firstly, we should emphasise that the prime priority in becoming a doctor is conscience, and then their ability. Because what kind of doctors is that that choose money over their conscience? They seems to forget about their oaths. So let us make them bear that in mind by adding a test on their conscience before deciding whether one is qualified for this prestige job. Also, only by securing doctors and their families lives, could they devotedly look after their patients regardless of their classes. However, we should make clear to them that privileges always go hand in hand with responsibilities. When they passionately concentrate on patients health only, money will automatically find its way to doctors.
How about already-rich doctors? It is arguable that doctors salary are proportional to their ability. And rich doctors who are highly-skilled only suitable for rich patients. Mindful that the rich are able to pay the fee for the treatment, this is like an uphill battle because of the gap between the poor and the rich. Nevertheless, I believe, doctors who are truly conscientious will do their utmost to care of their patients.
In conclusion, it is clear that doctors, nowadays, have an inclination to head for profitable activities like plastic surgery or looking after rich patients because doctors, after all, are just ordinary people. This is due to the inseparable gap between classes in each society. Nonetheless, we can only count on the conscience of the doctors to be strong enough to choose patients over money.
That's my essay. My exam is coming soon and I really need help to improve my writing skills. Thank you so much.
Can anybody help me? Please? :(
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
I am rather sure that is "prestige jobs" because according to Oxford Dictionary:prestigious jobs
- prestige (adj): that brings respect and admiration; important
ex: a prestige job
- prestigious (adj): respected and admired as very important or of very high quality
ex: a prestigious award or a prestigious university
I have mentioned money in my Introduction, so I said "also mentioned one".(I don't know what you mean by "also mentioned one")
Yes, next time I will avoid using phrasal verb in writing essay.taken on (do you mean "employed"?)
A lack of passion in taking care of other people, in being a considerate doctor.Secondly, the problem has its roots in the lack of passion (a lack of passion in what?)
"Securing doctors and their families' lives" financially. Because salaries for doctor in my country are not very high and sometimes not enough for their everyday lives.(I don't know what you mean by "securing doctors and their families' lives)
It seems like I have a serious problem with tenses and singular or plural nouns. I will pay more attention to them. I am much obliged to you for helping me.

BLOC-O-LIFT Locking Gas Spring
Variable Positioning, Rigid or Elastic Locking Gas Springs
Flaps and lids can be very heavy and hard to operate by hand. Chairs and desks must be adapted to the body height of the individual user to take ergonomic aspects into consideration. In these cases, locking gas springs from Stabilus will provide optimum weight equalization and user-friendly motion sequences during opening, closing, and positioning. Our products in the BLOC-O-LIFT line of locking gas springs are also available with variable locking, either rigid or elastic in the direction of tension or compression, depending on the desired setup.
Function of BLOC-O-LIFT Locking Gas Springs
A special piston / valve system, which separates the two pressure chambers in the spring, allows effortless variable locking. If the valve tappet is released from the outside and the exchange between the pressure chambers is interrupted, the gas spring will lock and hold even heavy loads reliably in the desired position. With the valve open, the linear spring characteristic curve of the BLOC-O-LIFT locking gas springs will provide an even increase in force over the entire range of motion.
BLOC-O-LIFT Locking Gas Springs offer Solutions for Every Requirement
Our standard product line offers a broad selection of locking gas springs and, thus, always the right product for any installation situation.
With our long-term expertise as pioneers in the production of gas springs, we will also be happy to support you as a development partner. Together, we will develop the right solution for locking gas springs, which will meet your individual requirements.

Florida citrus and strawberry growers face crop losses in the early part of their 2012-13 season because the federal government shutdown delayed processing of agricultural guest workers.
Even with the government reopening, federal officials will be confronted with clearing thousands of guest-worker applications from Florida and across the nation under the H-2A program.
"For us, problems remain because of the backlog," said Mike Carlton of Lakeland, director of labor relations at the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association in Maitland. "It's essential they have a process to deal with this backlog in a very quick manner."
The H-2A program allows U.S. agricultural employers with a proven need for foreign workers, mostly to harvest crops, to bring in those workers under a temporary visa for one season.
The program is expensive because, in addition to a prevailing wage, employers must pay for transportation to and from the country of origin and for housing.
U.S. Sen Bill Nelson, a Democrat, and U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta, are pressing the federal Homeland Security, Labor and State departments to develop a fast-track process for clearing the H-2A backlog, Carlton said.
"We're dealing with perishable commodities," he said. "I'm relatively optimistic those agencies will work as hard as they can to create a program to move this along."
"Every day it gets more critical, and we estimate about 90 percent of the citrus applications are hung up in Chicago," said Andrew Meadows, a spokesman for Lakeland-based Florida Citrus Mutual, the state's largest growers' group.
Crucial time coming
Strawberry and citrus officials said demand for harvest workers will pick up in early December, when harvesting both crops begins in earnest.
Some harvesting of fresh citrus already has begun, but the fresh crops account for just 5 percent of the state's oranges and less than 40 percent of the grapefruit.
Processing at Florida's Natural Growers' plants will ramp up after Thanksgiving, when the oranges will mature enough for juice, said Dave Crumbly, a vice president at the Lake Wales-based growers' cooperative.
Without a fast-track application process, citrus and strawberry growers face a shortage of harvest labor in six weeks, Carlton and Meadows agreed. "If they get on it and don't nitpick these applications, we could salvage it," Meadows said.
H-2A workers harvest most of the Florida citrus crop, Carlton said.
Kevin Bouffard writes for the Lakeland Ledger.
Shutdown slows arrival of pickers
Florida citrus and strawberry growers face crop losses in the early part of their 2012-13 season because the federal government shutdown delayed processing of agricultural guest workers.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Whether breast cancer should be labeled as an occupational disease is still unclear, researchers behind a new study from China suggest.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and so far only one country (Denmark) has awarded compensation to shift workers who develop the disease.
If more were to follow suit, it could have far-reaching economic consequences. Just last week, for instance, the Health and Safety Executive — a UK public body — issued a report estimating that almost 2,000 British women get breast cancer every year due to shift work, and more than 550 die.
The Chinese study, however, showed no sign of a connection between night-shift work and breast cancer.
"We basically found no association, even among women who had more than 25 years of shift work," said Wong-Ho Chow, a researcher with the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, who worked on the study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
With colleagues from US and Chinese universities, Chow followed more than 70,000 women in Shanghai, inquiring about their work and cancer status.
Earlier research in animals had suggested that disturbances in the light-dark cycle could knock certain chemicals in the body — for instance, melatonin and estrogen — off balance, and as a result increase cancer risk.
"We wanted to explore this hypothesis," Chow told Reuters Health.
Over a decade, about one in a hundred women in the study developed breast cancer. But the risk didn't increase for women who worked nights, regardless of how long they had done so.
"There is really not much that you can criticize from reading the paper," said Dr. Kurt Straif, an expert in occupational medicine, who was not involved in the research.
But, he added, "One has to keep in mind that this is the first study from a non-Western country."
In 2007, a team headed by Straif at the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer had concluded that night-shift work was a probable cause of cancer.
Based on animal research as well as studies of nurses and flight attendants, the team listed shift work in the second-highest cancer-risk category, group 2A, which includes diesel engine exhaust and fumes from high-temperature frying.
Although the evidence wasn't clear-cut, Straif said, six out of eight studies found an increased risk of at least 50 percent.
Denmark reacted to the team's conclusion by granting breast cancer the status of occupational disease. In 2009, the Scandinavian country began awarding compensation to affected women who had no other obvious risk factors.
"We have a pretty expansive attitude toward recognizing occupational hazards," said Johnni Hansen of the Danish Cancer Society, who has spent a decade studying shift work and breast cancer.
"In most other countries," he told Reuters Health, "you need to have a more solid connection."
He added that the compensation was still fairly limited, averaging only about $10,000 to $12,000 per case.
Both Straif and Hansen said that at this point, it is too early to consider changing the World Health Organization's classification of night-shift work.
For one thing, the specific type of shift work — rotational or regular — could make a difference. In addition, the study followed only people who were healthy to begin with, and so may have missed some long-term effects that would only show up after the follow-up ended. And finally, environmental and genetic differences between West and East could in principle play a role.
Straif said several new studies were underway. While he declined to comment on Denmark's policy regarding breast cancer cases, he said he "would be more worried about the many countries that do not compensate" people who have been exposed to definite occupational carcinogens such as secondhand smoke.

Abuse isn't just about bruises. Not all forms of abuse leave bruises where we can see them,How To Get A Domestic Violence Case Dismissed in 2018 . Although physical abuse is terrifying and needs to be addressed immediately there are other forms of abuse that can cause significant damage. One type of abuse that is very difficult for outsiders to detect is financial abuse. Marriage should be a partnership but when one spouse completely dominates the finances to the point that the other spouse has no control and no options financial abuse may be occurring.
What Are Signs of Potential Financial Abuse?
Every married couple handles their finances differently. In some cases one spouse handles the majority of the finances. They manage the accounts, pay the bills and deal with creditors. That does not by itself equal financial abuse.
Financial abuse occurs when one spouse is treated like an irresponsible child and Substance Abuse Near Me . They are cut off from funds and their knowledge about the couple's finances is severely limited. Some signs of financial abuse include:
•Strict Allowances. This isn't an amount that the spouses have agreed to limit themselves to but is instead a set amount that is grudgingly handed out from one spouse to the other and is all that will be given.
Documents, documents, documents. Written evidence is incredibly strong and can range from credit card bills showing that there is a credit card but that you aren't named on it to emails from your spouse that show the financial abuse.
Other witnesses can be incredibly powerful on your behalf. Financial abuse is hard for people outside the relationship to detect. So when someone credible comes in and tells the judge that it is happening and they can see it the judge will listen and Domestic Violence Essay Conclusion .
How To Get A Domestic Violence Case Dismissed in 2018 ?
Maya had the dream life. She had a career she loved. She married when she was mature enough to pick a partner for the right reasons. She had a partner, a son, a daughter and a lovely puppy. Add the picket fence and you could say she had it all. On the surface of course...
Beneath the surface she was struggling with the demise of a marriage due to the malicious interactions of a verbally and emotionally abusive mother in law who was going unstopped in the family. This women had such control over the men in her family, that she could say and do as she pleased, and no one would stop her from viscious behavior. Maya became the victim of emotional and verbal abuse, first from her mother in law, then her extended family members, and then ultimately from her husband. She was a highly educated women, so how could anything so serious be happening in her life?
The walls came crashing down upon Maya, when her mother in law crossed the line to not only verbally and emotionally abuse her, she repeatedly hurt her infant son too. The saddest thing about this situation, is that her mother in law "did not intentionally" verbally and emotionally abuse anyone. Even though she was the former manager of a pre-school, she did not consider that flying into a mad rage directed at Maya in front of her 2 month old son, would ultimately harm the baby.
After experiencing from Maya how bad abuse can get from an intimate family member, I have committed my life's work to spiritually healing abuse survivors, so you become the mothers, lovers, and the professionals you deserve to be. I will be publishing a series of articles called, "You're the First", that will be about how women and men have turned around difficult situations, and become highly successful in their own right. Believe in yourself, you can get anything you dream of...
When Push Comes to Shove - Addressing Domestic Violence Once and For All
Have you ever experienced sexual abuse? Do you know that the negative experience you had may still be affecting you in the present?
In my practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I discovered that many women, and even some men, experienced sexual abuse. As I counseled the clients, they became aware of the negative decisions they had made from their sexual exploitation. In fact, many years later those painful thoughts were still affecting their lives in negative ways.
Some of the symptoms that it still influenced their lives were low self-esteem, avoiding dating, struggling in their relationships, not enjoying their sexuality, hiding their physical beauty, shyness, and doing everything to please others.
I included 14 hurtful thoughts that caused the above symptoms that I heard from many of the clients of all ages. Can you relate to any of them?
14 Negative decisions based on sexual abuse include:
1) I feel shame.
2) I am bad and dirty.
3) I am not safe in the world.
4) I can't trust men not to hurt me.
5) My parent or parents betrayed me because they did not protect me.
6) I can't trust people I love to be there for me.
7) I should have stopped it.
8) Sex is painful, dirty and wrong.
9) Men want me only for my body.
10) I feel guilty because it felt good.
11) I feel different than others; I am an outsider.
12) I have to hide my secret so people do not judge me.
13) I have to do what others want me to or I am not safe or loved.
14) It is not safe for me to get attention from men.
For example, Susan was molested by her father. As a result, she hated men and that affected all her relationships with the opposite sex. She also was very cute, free- spirited and loving as a child and that is when her father started to molest her. Her decision was many of the above negative beliefs, as well as it is not safe to be free, happy and shine. She just did what people wanted to stay safe. Her self-esteem was very low and that affected her social interactions and professional success. To stuff her pain, she overate and was obese.
Her mother knew but did nothing to protect Susan. (Mothers often cannot deal with the rejection so they deny it, and may also be afraid of their partners.) To help Susan, I suggested that she imagine her mother in front of her and say, "You did the best you could with the information you had, I forgive you."
Then I helped Susan release the other negative thoughts based on her negative experiences, and she felt much better, began speaking up for herself, and her relationship improved.
By the way, sexual abuse is one major cause of weight issues. Nancy told me that whenever she was thin, men made sexual comments and she did not feel safe. The weight is her wall of protection. "Helene, she said, "I have to make myself unattractive with my unattractive hairstyle, baggy clothes, and fat, for the men to leave me alone!"
Can you relate to Susan or Nancy? If you do, it would be very beneficial to release those hurtful decisions, so that you can enjoy a healthy and happy life.
