Donate Life 04-19-09

Like most any 16-year-old, Rebecca Johnson was excited about getting her driver's license. But, according to her aunt, the only thing the Arizona teenager was more excited about was getting to register as an organ donor.
Dr. Suzanne Nesmith, a professor in the School of Education at Wayland Baptist University, has taken her niece's enthusiasm for being an organ donor and is spreading the message in the Plainview area.
Johnson was involved in a major wreck near her home in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb.7.
"It was her dad's birthday and she was headed home so they could go out and celebrate," Nesmith explained.
The next day, after doctors informed the family they had done all they could for the teenager, her older sister, Heather, a freshman at the University of Arizona, reminded her family of Rebecca's wishes to donate her organs.
"My brother (J.R. Johnson) said it was the easiest decision to make because Rebecca had already made it," Nesmith said.
Doctors were able to harvest Johnson's heart, liver, pancreas and a kidney and save the lives of four people - three in Arizona and one in New Mexico - on transplants lists.
"My other siblings and I thought this is the best thing we could do for (Rebecca's) family, and a way to honor her life," said Nesmith.
Nesmith shared how organ donation has touched her life at the weekly chapel service at Wayland Baptist University on Wednesday.
"I just think a lot of young people like college students just haven't been made aware of how important organ donation is and haven't been presented the facts about such an important issue," said Nesmith.
She began her presentation by having 17 students come up on stage with her. As she continued her presentation, she asked students to randomly sit down.
"Seventeen people die every day waiting for an organ transplant of some kind," Nesmith told the audience.
Once all 17 students were sitting and Nesmith finished sharing facts about organ donation, she had four students stand up - representing the four lives her niece's donations saved.
Nesmith's goal is to get at least 100 people to register as organ donors.
"With this being Wayland's centennial celebration, I thought 100 would be the perfect number," she said.
By noon Friday, Nesmith said 70 new donors had registered with the Glenda Dawson Donate Life Texas Registry.
Nesmith said it is important to dispel the myths and misinformation that surrounds organ donation.
"The biggest myth is that if you are an organ donor doctors don't go to every length possible to keep you alive. That is completely false," she said.
"It was only after the doctors had exhausted every alternative to help keep my niece alive that they even began to discuss organ donation," Nesmith said.
She also shared how easy it is to become an organ and tissue donor, telling students they can state their intentions to be an organ donor when they renew their driver's license . . . just as Rebecca reminded her father to do a month before her accident. There is also an option to register in person or online with the Dawson foundation.
The more people donors informs of their desire, the more likely their wishes are to be carried out should the opportunity to donate arise.
Organ and tissue donation advocates estimate one donor can save or enhance 75 lives.
"Organs are, of course, the most high profile donations, but tissues such as corneas, and bones can be used to help others as well," Nesmith said.
She noted that while it seems a bit trite, the adage, "Don't take your organs to heaven, they know we need them here," is definitely true.
"If there is a way to touch lives and help people after we die and don't need our organs anymore, it's selfish not to."
For more information on how to become a registered organ and tissue donor, visit www.donatelife.net or contact Nesmith at 291-1047.

Natalie Portman's 'Black Swan' sex scene with Mila Kunis is the talk of show business -- and she knows exactly why.
"Lesbian scenes, sex scenes, they're all over the place!" said Portman, who graces the cover of January's Vogue Magazine. "But because it's me, people are shocked. I see the value of a good-girl persona--it's so easy to subvert it!"
In reality, Portman doesn't see herself as quite the innocent girl that she's perceived as being. In fact, she's started an entire production company devoted to raunchy women comedies -- think Judd Apatow with bras and panties.
"We're very into female comedies; there just aren't enough," Portman said in explaining her new venture, Handsomcharlie Films. "There's a difference between being in a bra and underpants as an object on a men's-magazine cover and playing yourself--a woman with desires and needs who loves and laughs with her friends--in a bra and underpants.
"You become an object if you simply put it out there," the star continued. "Most movies are made by men, it's totally natural that they're going to present their worldview, so we're trying to find more women who are writers and directors who are expressing their worldview."
Actually, it's been an evolving mission statement for the production company. Formed in 2007, Handsomecharlie Films initially sought to provide, "socially relevant films," with Portman setting lofty goals.
"We all have the same desire to make meaningful and artistically fulfilling films and are committed to the idea of stories leading to greater empathy and action for world issues," she said in a 2007 statement.
That being said, as Portman has begun to subvert her reputation as a "good girl" and enter the world of comedy, her mission to create relatable female comedy, to her, is also a worthy cause.
Speaking about then-23 year old indie filmmaker Lena Dunham's film 'Tiny Furniture,' Portman, gushes about the possibilities. "he walks around in her underwear for the whole movie; it's harsh. She's the subject, she's not the object, and it's beautiful--that's the kind of thing we need more of."

Crop In the I'oiiiily.
From Air. N. Hun-acker, 11 prominent
fanner from Hog Tooth Hend, we learn
that the. Mississippi river has overflowed
irtost nil of tho farms In Dog Tooth, one
of the .'Ichest ami most fertile portions of
our county, to tliu depth ot four feet,
lie, however, states that tho water com
menced falliuu' yesterday, ami should
the water go oil rapidly, il Is thought
that, inasmuch as the eorn Is so far de
veloped, It will not bo damaged much.
In regard to wheat, the crop Is better than
has been .known itor years, but that
which has been harvested has
been damaged greatly, and that
part which Is not yet
harvested, on account of the ocr
llow, Is damaged to n greater extent.
Twenty thousand bushels of wheat are
111 the neighborhood, hut not more than
ten thousand dollars tan bi realized from
It. Among tho losers are Messrs. Itlley,

The Council will probably dispense
witli the services of the Mayor ntan early
(Uy. The Council 'wins to have no use
for His Honor.
Ihe (.'ottni.it will meet again next
Tue-day night. There will be, probably,
mother bout between Ills Honor and the
Aldermen 011 that occasion, everybody
oii'dit to go to the meetlii'' and witness
the circus.
Odlcer Hillingsly is shooting dogs,
we are told. Whore does Hillingsly get
his authority V H. is one of the Mayor's
men. and the Mayor Is an antl-shootcr.
Why don't the Mayor therefore ascertain
the authority H. has for popping at curs.
We stated yesterday that the C'oiin
11 had allowed Wlutcamp and Schuster
pay lor the time they were otrduty. We
were mistaken. The bills lor lull time
were presented, and action on them post
poned until next Tuesday.
Ihe .Sum man would alarm .the whole
country by saying to it: "Cairo is iu dan
ger. Tho rivers are marching up our
levees. If they march up three feet more,
there is great danger; If they march up
seven feet more wo nre gono 1" Now he
know that the rivers could not rhu seven
feet more; but hewNhed to be .sensational
at the expense of the city that gives him
his bread and butter.
The .V101, from objecting to the pro-
po-ed Tax-Payers' league as a league of
tax-dodgers, gets on to the poor man's
horse, and rides It, by saying: "Why
not let In men that tiro not tax-payers'?"
If tho tax-payers of Cairo take care of
themselves, the nou-tax-payers will have
no rca-on to complain. Hut wo are not
of tho association. We would, If we were
running it, take In all sensiblu eltieus.
The proposed Citizens' Association,
denounced by the .Vim as a spider's par
lor and nest of lav-dodging rascals, Is not
dead as that veracious sheet has declared.
It Is a very lively corpse, If wo may trust
our eyes. We have looked 'over tho list
of names siv ned to tho "call," about a
hundred of them, and recognize those of
many or our best cltl.ens and heaviest
lux-payer. Nearly every merchant hi
the city has put his namu into the list.
Theso are the men the Sun denounces by
Implication by asking Insulting ques
tions about tho "lcagiw"ns rascals.
The Sun says : "Thu Sun had no rel-
erenco to Aldoiinau Ilalllday on Wednes
day, and tlio Hi'i.li:ti.n ceitalnly knew It
when It Hied to mix things this morn
lug." How could we know It ? The .V101
spoke of an Alderman trying to run
thing" ni the last Council meeting. Now,
Alderman Ifnllldny nut' only tried to
"run" but did ' 'run" that meeting. We
therefore concluded the Sun mcautllalll
day. Hut, since we were mistaken, w ho
did the.S'ioi inenni' which of tho Alder
men? We beg the eontouuded little
cowardly thing to be a little brave nt
once and tell us which of Ihe Aldermen
It did mean by Its insulting little squib.

I have tried to add the DNS IP to the VPN connection but it still doesn't work. My router handles my DHCP and DNS is this why I can't ping by DNS should I configure the Windows Server to handle this – I have tried to look for a solution on the internet by I haven't been able to find one – I hope someone can help.

Token Christian.
If truth is relative, how do you know?
Eva. God. Could the chick have SQUEALED anymore!? "I'm a Covergirl! SQUEEEE!!!" "I'm America's Next Top Model! SQUEEEEE!" "I was acting with Taye Diggs! SQUEEEE!" "I won! SQUEEEE!"
God! That completely did my head in.
Yaya seemed nice. I think it's cool how into their culture her family was, although her mom was kind of channeling a voodoo Miss Cleo. But I think their children's centre is really great. What a great opportunity for kids.
Amanda, I don't think has the drive to get into modelling. I bet you anything, she's probably at home with her son by that mountain now. Haha. BTW: Clear to see where she gets her eyes from. Her dad's were exactly the same. And it was nice to see her as a teen, as she was a somewhat ugly duckling who seems to have morphed into this gorgeous woman. It's heartening!
Ann: Looked gorgeous, and was surprisingly non annoying for me, and I usually detest her. Perhaps she's manageable in small doses.
Norelle: Looked actually very good. I bet she'll do well in Asia.
Nicole: Looked SO much better as a blond. She was looking a wee bit dowdy at times...
Toccara: That was a mighty big pot of bacon her family was cooking up. That's all I have to say!
Cassie: Little disheartened to hear that people are still telling her she needs to lose weight. Modelling is really not a great environment for a recovering bulimic, which, whether she admits it or not, she was. I thought it was so sad the way she justified what she was doing by saying it wasn't after every meal. Throwing up after eating is bulimia girl. Pure and simple. Whether it's on schedule or not.
Kelle: I personally thought she looked horrible in the Source shoot. But that's just me. She seemed very passionate about her art gallery though, so that's good.
Jennipher: Okay, they gave her like half a second of time...so not much to say there. Glad her hair is dark again. What was TyTy thinking!?
Kristi: Didn't know she was a director in training, that's awesome! I think she should go with that...she is still totally blah to me.
Julie: Meh. Nothing new there. They didn't give any new info about her...
Leah and Magdalena: Likewise. Would have liked to see a little more from both, but what are you gonna do.
Lord, her poses were okay, but the shots they took were horrendous. ON another note, it was nice to see Kelle bubbly again.Originally Posted by jasmar
One more thing - at the end, they said there would be a preview of ANTM 4 coming up. I waited around for it, but didn't see anything except the same teaser/ad they've been showing all along. Was that it, or did I miss it?
Token Christian.
If truth is relative, how do you know?
The feuds are going to be out of control during Cycle 4.
There are a few hotheads among this group.
Can't wait til 8
Jasmar, you didn't miss anything. They just wanted you to stay for the commercials.
Within the first 30 seconds they almost had me in tears with Cassie's quote of how everyone wanted her to lose hip inches. Way to go, telling that to an anorexic girl. :phhht
Hubby said she was just going to the wrong places and should try Baby Phat or J Lo where they would appreciate bigger hips. I said, yeah, they like some ka dunk in the trunk.
Loved the recap that had Eva saying SQUEEE! With that nose and a last name of Pigford, she should take it easy with the squealing.
I still think Yaya is insufferably snotty. She's a rotten actress because she is so full of herself. Probably an insufferable "teacher" too. Those poor kids, having to waste school time on her crap. And she's not good at pronouncing French or Spanish, but I'm sure she thinks she is hot stuff.
As for her mom's hairdo, to paraphrase the recap, it looked like she was channeling George Clinton.
On the runway, how could Yaya sag that much in such a short amount of time? I am about twice her age and it took my body that long for an equal amount of sag.
I never liked Ann, and her voice was so grating tonight, but at least her chest didn't sag in the gaping-front gown she was modeling. Please let that style be over soon!
Norelle was my favorite last season, and I'm glad she's doing what I thought she should do, pursue a career in Asia.
i had a dream i was kelle O_O! im happy she is doing well and she is happy so yay
"this love is unbreakable..."
Can some one do a real recap? Like a snow flake girl recap?
If someone wants to post their thoughts on the show, that's fine, but this isn't part of the competition. SnowflakeGirl will be busy enough recapping the premiere of Cycle 4.

As a swiss I am against the UE (Switzerland isn't member of UE, for americans who don't know my country).
But I would see an UE army as a good thing, at would mean that the UE finaly broke as it is today and became a federal country.
Europe is actually a monstrous burocratic thingy. But iif they one day manage to have only one army, that day UE may finally work (it will obviously happen one day, I just hope to see it myself)
As a french citzen I'd love to see it. I'd like to see more integration.
The crisis will reignite very soon. Once Chinese banks start failing because of lack of liquidity and the US is unable to print it's way out of the new global recession. The Euro and eventually the EU will dissolve.Coming soon after the near-collapse of the Greek government, which has been given until Monday to show it can meet the demands of its own EU-IMF bailout, the euro zone may be on the brink of falling back into full-on crisis.
EU officials have been at pains to talk down any unrest, buoyed by the tranquility in financial markets since European Central Bank President Mario Draghi made good on his pledge last summer to do whatever it takes to protect the euro via a bond-buying program.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has spoken of the worst of the crisis being over, and the economic affairs commissioner, Olli Rehn, has often dismissed "doomsayers" who once predicted the euro would collapse.
But despite the desire to project calm, EU officials quietly acknowledge that all is not well and that any number of problems could throw the region back into turmoil.
"There are always issues simmering under the surface," said an EU diplomat who has been dealing first hand with the crisis since it erupted in Greece in early 2010.
"It's far from over. The immediacy may have ebbed away, but I think we're all aware that under the surface, there's still a lot of stuff than can come back to bite us."
During a meeting of finance officials from the 17 euro countries on Tuesday, there was agreement that the "optimism in the euro zone is not justified, that we are in worse shape than it seems," according to one source at the meeting.
The situation in Portugal was a particular concern, said JP Morgan economist Alex White.
"The announcement this afternoon that Paulo Portas, the foreign minister, has resigned significantly escalates our near-term concerns," he said in a note to clients. "At the moment risks appear elevated."
All that is coming against a backdrop of rising euro zone borrowing costs once again after the U.S. Federal Reserve's announcement of an exit strategy from its money-printing program put world markets back into a spin.
Portuguese 10-year bond yields spiked up to eight percent on Wednesday with reports of further ministerial resignations throwing the coalition government's future into peril.
Portas has to decide whether to stay in his post or pull his rightist CDS-PP party out of the coalition, robbing the government of its majority.
Greece, which has resumed talks with its EU and IMF lenders, is every bit as alarming.
A privatization process, which was supposed to help cut into Greece's debt mountain down, has stalled and progress on public sector reform is faltering.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has ruled out a fresh round of cuts, his government is seeking to lower its privatization revenue target after failing to sell its natural gas operation and there is a 1 billion euros black hole in the state-run health insurer, so its lenders may demand measures to fill that.
There are some suggestions that the EU and IMF may refuse to pay at least some of the 8.1 billion euros bailout tranche on offer and dribble it out instead in order to focus minds in Athens. Anything more dramatic would be risky since Greece faces big bond redemptions next month and nobody wants a default.
With German elections looming in September, Angela Merkel's government is determined not to rock the boat beforehand.
Spain and Italy, two far larger economies, also major risks, as do banking sector problems in Slovenia, slow reforms in Cyprus and a scandal in Ireland that has shaken confidence.
In a note to clients late last month, Italy's Mediobanca warned that the country would "inevitably end up in an EU bailout request" in the next six months unless borrowing costs could be kept low and the economy found some traction.
Prime Minister Enrico Letta, in office only since April, faces instability in his coalition, with former prime minister Mario Monti threatening to withdraw support because of the slow pace of desperately needed economic reforms.
While Spain may have avoided a full bailout so far, its banks - which received 40 billion euros from the euro zone rescue fund in 2012 - face a long road to rehabilitation, as do those in Ireland. The IMF praised both countries for their efforts last month, but also warned of risks ahead.
"There are so many negatives outside of Greece as well. On the rest of them, we just want them postponed until after the summer," said one senior euro zone source.
In Ireland, which has performed best of the rescued countries and is expected to emerge from its assistance program later this year, the problems are more of reputation than implementation.
Transcripts of telephone conversations from 2008 have revealed how bankers at Anglo Irish Bank made light of the Irish government's decision to guarantee their liabilities, a move that ultimately saddled the nation with vast debts.
The bankers also ridiculed Germany - the chief underwriter of all the rescue loans in Europe - singing "Deutschland ueber alles" on the tapes, which has infuriated German officials, the very people the Irish government needs to keep happy.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble described the bankers as contemptuous.
While Ireland's problems are likely to blow over, those in Portugal, Greece and Cyprus, which also has tough bailout conditions to meet, are clear and present, and those in Italy and Spain show few signs of disappearing.
EU institutions effectively shut down in August. but that might not prevent a restless summer as the slumbering crisis reawakens agitated.

Spotlight on the Nairobi Convention Meetings
The Seventh Conference
of the Parties to the Nairobi Convention (COP7) met recently in Maputo,
Mozambique with the goal of digging deep into ocean health and management.
Eighty-five people representing ten different Indian Ocean countries met to find ways to work together on the health of their shared marine resource, the Indian Ocean. The Indian Ocean is the third largest of the world's five oceans, a vast and strategically located body of water that connects Africa, Asia and Australia. The region faces many challenges: large oil reserves are being tapped in this region in the offshore areas of Saudi Arabia, Iran, India and western Australia, and many more discoveries of oil and gas reserves have been made.
In addition, the region's fisheries are under a lot of pressure from foreign fleets travelling from as far as Russia, the European Union, Japan, South Korean and Taiwan (Province of China).
Under these and other pressures, identifying ways to assess ocean health and protect marine resources was the theme of the four-day Nairobi Convention meetings. Dr. David Obura of CORDIO and Ando Rabearisoa of Conservation International took the opportunity to present the Ocean Health Index as a way to measure the health of the region's ocean, track different goals, and identify areas in need of action. The Index spans the globe, but also offers the flexibility of being scaled to local use, with local data, by local experts who know their regions best. Since the Index is crafted to be objective and data-driven, it might be the right measuring tool at the right time in the right place.
Dr. David Obura is a leading scientist in the region, and the author of more than 100 publications. He specializes in research on regional biogeographic patterns, coral bleaching, and the impact of climate change and human interactions on the environment. Obura is a Director of CORDIO, a group of marine scientists who collaborate on research targeted at mitigating the widespread damage to corral reefs in the Indian Ocean region.
Dr. Obura and Ando Rabearisoa first introduced the Ocean Health Index in August, shortly after its publication in Nature on August 15, 2012. We caught up with them just after their presentation on December 10-11 to a larger group of policy-makers, scientists and NGOs at the "Science for Policy" workshop that preceded the Seventh Conference of the Parties to the Nairobi Convention.
What was the reaction
to the Ocean Health Index?
David: As I thought, we faced some of the same questions we heard in August —questions about how to handle the reference point for the wild capture fisheries, the fact that data is poor for Tourism and Recreation for which the global score calculations don't match the situation on the ground in the countries. The Regional Index will do better, with the possibility of adjusting how indices are calculated, and weighting of the goals is important for the region. We also presented some of the country-specific results of the ten West Indian Ocean countries, and people were very interested in that.
Overall, the region scored "56," which is slightly below the global score of "60." The Republic of Seychelles, Tanzania and Mauritius equal or exceed the global score; the other seven —Mauritius, Mozambique, French Indian Ocean Territories, Kenya, South Africa, Madagascar, Comoros and Somalia— fell somewhat below that with scores ranging from 47 to 60.
Ando: I think the challenge is for the Nairobi Convention to develop an identity for the West Indian Ocean area in the global context--what is unique about this area, what are the most important resources to protect? Many initiatives are arising in the region to enhance marine resources management. David presented the UNESCO report on identifying new World Heritage sites in the West Indian Ocean ("Assessing Marine World Heritage from an Ecosystem Perspective: The Western Indian Ocean," 2012) Everyone is talking about this. WWF (World Wildlife Fund) presented the concept of "Transfrontier Conservation Area." The Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) is trying to implement corridors. The Ocean Health Index supports all these initiatives well. It's very important for the people living in the region to assess, where is the wealth of the region and how is it being used.
Why is the Ocean Health Index useful in the West Indian Ocean region?
David: I think it is a step forward to have a discussion on common terms—even if there is discomfort over what data set to use, and over the resulting country scores. The Index helps us to have a discussion about what is happening in the region, to start from a baseline, and be constrained to specific topics, rather than debating all aspects of ocean health. Now we can plan on developing better data sets, to get involvement from scientists and countries in the region. Most interesting will be when future index calculations can generate time-series, to show where countries or subregions are improving, or not, in managing the health of their EEZs.
In the region here, we have to focus on people—so the Livelihoods and Economies goal is quite important. So is Food Provision. Our fisheries are declining, our population is increasing population, and migrant fishermen are moving larger distances and competing for declining resources.
What are the next
Ando: What was interesting is that inside the Nairobi Convention there are protocols that are developed by the Secretariat and adopted by countries. These protocols are on ICZM and LBSA, but until now, there is no specific metrics to monitor the impact of these protocols on the ocean, coral reefs and the like when implemented. I think the Ocean Health Index can be the starting point of stimulating the development of metrics to monitor the effects of these protocols.
David: Following this meeting, we have sufficient endorsement from the countries to do a regionally-focused application of the Ocean Health Index for the Nairobi Convention region in 2013-14. This will allow an assessment of the usefulness of the Index for the countries of the Nairobi Convention region to assess the health of their EEZs, inform future management, and increase the sustainability of ocean benefits to its people. The Ocean Health Index also provides metrics for success.

All Barn Pros wood cupolas are hand crafted using the finest quality Western Red Cedar from the Pacific Northwest. Choose from several options, most of them fully functioning and louvered for optimum ventilation. Barn Pros has designed a universal base, rendering each of these cupolas adaptable to any roof pitch. Each Cupola can be installed on any type of roofing material. Roofing material for the cupola is not included.
When you are choosing the right size and style for your rooftop, generally the best fit is about 1 1/2" of cupola height for every foot of unbroken roof line. This is a flexible guideline – on a 36' barn, for example, a 50" cupola is a wonderful fit. With a larger barn or multiple roof lines, there is even more room to create a statement! Set a Triple Cupola at the center of a 72' roof line and balance it with a Jumbo Cupola on either side, or set a Lighthouse Cupola at the intersection of two roof lines.

Steelers' record: 7-5
One year ago: 9-3
Series record (including playoffs): Steelers lead, 22-15
This was to be the third game the Steelers would play without
The Steelers were locked in a tie game inside the two-minute warning. Charlie Batch completed a 10-yard pass to
Sunday's attendance at M&T Bank Stadium was 71,442, the second-highest in the history of the building. The all-time highest attendance is 71,502, which was set on Dec. 14, 2008 when the opponent also was the Steelers.
In the first half, Antonio Brown (five) and Mike Wallace (four) were targeted nine times and they had a combined two catches for 14 yards.
The Steelers won the coin toss and elected to defer, which put some early pressure on the defense at a venue where the Ravens offense has had a lot of success. Thanks to passes defensed from
After taking the Ravens' punt to start their opening possession at the 22-yard line, the Steelers marched to a 46-yard field goal by
To that point – with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter – the Ravens had scored touchdowns on 12-of-13 goal-to-go situations – but after moving to a second-and-goal at the Steelers 4-yard line, Joe Flacco had one pass to Anquan Boldin broken up by
The Steelers were able to flip the field position midway through the second quarter when
To describe it simply, Joe Flacco pulled a Mike Tomczak. After spinning out of the grasp of
Charlie Batch played a big role in the Steelers 78-yard touchdown drive that opened the second half. After pitching a strike to
Three plays after Ed Reed's interception in the end zone and 34-yard return,
Heath Miller's nifty footwork along the sideline as he was extending the football to the pylon accounted for the tying touchdown, 20-20, midway through the fourth quarter. The touchdown was the seventh of the season for Miller, which tied his single-season high, and it also allowed him to pass Elbie Nickel for the franchise lead among tight ends.
On a third-and-7 from the Pittsburgh 18-yard line inside four minutes left in the game. Charlie Batch stood in the pocket and took a big hit from Haloti Ngata but he still converted with a 15-yard pass to Mike Wallace.
As if the injury situation wasn't bad enough, the Steelers had Ike Taylor leave the game with an injury to his right ankle that was sustained on the play in which he broke up a long pass for Torrey Smith on the first series of the game.
On a third-and-4 late in the first quarter,
It will go down as a sack for Paul Kruger, but what really happened on the third-and-4 from the Pittsburgh 26-yard line was Charlie Batch had nobody to throw the ball to and held onto it long enough for Kruger to loop all the way around to make the play.
Two plays after the interception by Ryan Clark, the Steelers gave it right back on an interception, albeit in a rather non-traditional way. The play was a reverse pass, with Antonio Brown trying to get the ball down the opposite sideline to Jonathan Dwyer. But CB Corey Graham was not fooled by the reverse action and stayed on his side of the field, and he made the interception at the Ravens 31-yard line.
Four plays after Graham's interception, the Ravens got the ball in the end zone on a 28-yard pass to Anquan Boldin. But none of that happens without an iffy holding call on
On a third-and-3 from the Ravens 23-yard line with 43 seconds left in the first half, Mike Wallace was left all alone in the end zone by CB Chykie Brown but Charlie Batch sailed the ball over his head, and the Steelers settled for a 41-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham and a 13-6 halftime deficit.
It was a third-and-11 from the Pittsburgh 28-yard line when Charlie Batch threw a perfect strike to a slanting Emmanuel Sanders, who was running free down the middle of the field when he inexplicably lost the football after gaining 21 yards. Ed Reed recovered the ball, and six plays later, Ray Rice bounced outside for a 34-yard touchdown that gave the Ravens a 20-13 lead with 4:50 left in the third quarter.

George Stan and his research on molecular dynamics of proteins garner $660,644 in funding by the National Science Foundation.
George Stan, seen here with a student, received funding from NSF to study mechanics of proteins.
CAREER: Computational Modeling of Biological Nanomachines Protein Unfolding and Translocation by Clp ATPases is a $660,644, five-year grant given to Stan for his work in computational biophysical chemistry.
This is really the most important recognition that a junior faculty can aspire to, Stan says. Im really happy that it has happened and Im really proud to be a part of this long string of CAREER awardees in the chemistry department in the past 10 years.
U.S. Representative Steve Driehaus welcomed the announcement from the NSF.
This announcement is great news for the University of Cincinnati, as well as for greater Cincinnati. The university carries out critical research in cutting-edge fields and is a true asset to our community, Rep. Driehaus announced in a press release.
Using computer simulations, Stan aims to elucidate the kinetic and thermodynamic requirements for the unfolding and translocation of proteinsprocesses that ultimately assist protein degradation.
This project is really the first systematic computational study of protein unfolding using Clp ATPase nanomachines, Stan says. We hope to uncover the operating principles of these nanomachines.
Clp ATPases help with the maintenance of vital cellular functions by threading proteins through a needlerecognizing, unfolding and translocating the substrates through a narrow channel to enable protein degradation.
Stan is one of seven chemistry faculty to earn an NSF CAREER Award in the past decade.
By pinpointing the effect of Clp ATPases on the protein substrates, Stan and his research group hope to further explore the mechanisms that carry out such crucial cellular functionsan area of interest with wide implications.
Another research project in Stans lab, modeling of protein folding assistance by chaperonin molecules, is funded by the American Heart Association.
Quality-control pathwaysincluding protein folding assistance or protein degradationare essential for correct functioning of the cell; they touch on every type of cellular action, he says. Research in my lab is highly relevant to all biomedical areas of research as well as to the fundamental biology of the cell.
Because the CAREER award includes an educational aspect, Stan has formed a partnership with two historically black colleges, Fisk University and Central State University, to help improve physical chemistry education for underrepresented students. Stan will establish a course to introduce students to computational sciences and molecular modeling, and will provide research experience opportunities for them.
Stan is excited about the educational aspect, noting how important his students work is to his research.
None of these successes would have been possible without the contributions of my students who are hardworking, talented and ambitious, Stan says. Ive also received a lot of mentoring from senior faculty in the department who are serving as role models.
As one of four chemistry faculty to receive an NSF CAREER Award in less than a year, Stan is doing his part to make an individual effort a success for the entire department.
Its a very competitive environment, he says with a laugh. But Im very happy to be a part of it.

Week 15 Waiver Wire: Underrated Studs Who Will Bring You a ChampionshipDecember 13, 2012
Fantasy owners love the words "underrated" and "stud." They love them even more when they are in the same sentence, because that usually means the player who falls into that category is available on the waiver wire.
The waiver wire becomes even more critical to the success or failure of your team right now, as we are in the middle of playoff season. In fact, most leagues are playing their conference championships this weekend, so the pressure is mounting.
As you scour the waiver wire for those last-second additions to put you over the top, be sure to keep these names in mind.
David Wilson, RB, New York Giants
Owned in 53.8 percent of ESPN leagues
Wilson had one of the best breakout games this season against New Orleans last week. He racked up 327 all-purpose yards, including 100 rushing and one touchdown. His role in the offense has been expanding the last few weeks, and Wilson is making the most of it.
With Ahmad Bradshaw suffering from a sprained knee, Wilson figures to be an even more prominent part of what the Giants want to do.
The good news keeps coming for Wilson and fantasy owners trying to get their hands on him, as he has a favorable matchup with Atlanta in the friendly confines of the Georgia Dome. The Falcons rank 23rd in run defense and just gave up 195 yards on the ground to Carolina.
The Giants invested a first-round pick in Wilson for a reason. Don't be surprised to see him take more of Bradshaw's carries away, even when he returns to full strength.
Danario Alexander, WR, San Diego Chargers
Owned in 38.3 percent of ESPN leagues
The Chargers have struggled as a whole this season, but Alexander is giving the fans a reason to celebrate. He has caught at least five passes in five straight games and has at least 88 receiving yards in four of the last five games.
Even though the Panthers do have a strong pass defense (12th in the NFL), Alexander burned Pittsburgh's top-ranked pass defense last weekend for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
The only reason to have hesitation in starting Alexander is due to Philip Rivers. San Diego's quarterback has thrown 15 interceptions this season, so if he gets the turnover bug once again, there won't be as many opportunities available for Alexander to make plays.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks
Owned in 23.2 percent of ESPN leagues
If you haven't bought into Russell Wilson yet, what are you waiting for? His numbers passing are comparable to that of Robert Griffin III, and he has racked up over 300 rushing yards. Even though he had a slight setback against Arizona—he was the only one—he should be fine against Buffalo.
Wilson is not a perfect quarterback. He has just an 8-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio on the road (compared to 12-1 at home). He has also yet to break the 300-yard mark in a game, though he has hit 293 yards, twice.
But if you can look beyond some of those strange, random numbers, Wilson is probably the most valuable fantasy quarterback you can find right now. He is going up against a Bills defense that ranks 14th in passing yards and is tied for 20th in touchdown passes (22).

A story from India Abroad about an unusual couple in Iraq: Cyriac Alencheril and his wife, Fixie.
From Indian couple serves in the US Army, by George Joseph.
At a time when the United States Army is struggling to recruit more people, Sergeant Cyriac Alencheril, who is serving in Iraq, encouraged his wife to join the military.
His wife Fixie recently completed the rigorous training or boot camp at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, successfully. 'We are happy for the rare honour of being the first-ever Indian couple in the US Army. We feel proud of our achievement,' Cyriac, 35, wrote from Iraq. 'Somebody needs to pull the guard and prove that Indian Americans are not far behind. I believe that we represent a lot of Indians.'
A parachute rigger, he is currently serving as a supply sergeant in Iraq. Cyriac created news three years ago when he played the tabla to win the first prize in the instrumental solo category of the US Army's 2003 Margaret 'Skippy' Lynn Stars of Tomorrow Entertainment Contest.

Reviews & ratings Venice - Milan
Easy to manage, affordable train ticket pricing, decent leg space (for the price you pay) and the staff were helpful when you have questions. More importantly, it's widely reminded to safe guard your personal belongings at all time and if you are alert on that note, the train ride will be just fine :)
Train is fine and service is well.
We were really enjoyed of using this train, the information regarding the train, the view and also comfortness of the train was very good.
We were pleasantly surprised after having prebooked a 2nd class rail ticket on line to find that everything went off smoothly and we did not have to queue at the ticket office. The paper tickets we were issued on line were all we needed to board the train. Our seats were both window and for a 2nd class ticket we were very impressed with the quality of the seats and the general state of the carriage. There was more than adequate time to get ourselves and our 3 large bags off the train at Centrale, which is not always the case with other European stations. Would definitely recommend this service.
The train was good
large space for seat and comfort chair
Train and the system were well designed and comfortably constructed. Lovely
Relaxing journey w spaciaus seats
i'd like to travel again using this trains
Everything is Good except for purchase food, I went to car 4 to buy coffee and snack, but the waitress told me go finding the moving dining car my self, I could not buy there, and in a very bad attitude.
A fair price for a nice transportation media. I recommend it.
Printed out boarding tickets prior to travel. Journey was smooth and comfortable. On board food was good. Recommended for anyone looking to travel similar to my itinerary.
Train was clean and on time. Service provided inside train was basic. Just 2 drinks and 1 pack cookies. In business class seat was not that much comfortable or reclined. No wifi at all. Staff inside train was very good.
We were lucky to have booked early online despite the fact that total booking fee of Euro 11 was charged. If we didn't book
We were travel with 14 month baby from venice to milan by rail europe. We mostly not happy was there was no lift or escalator available from each level to another. Imagine we are travel with 3 big luggage , stroller and baby. The hygiene in the train should improve for ex we are in 1st class coach the table for the seat are not clean.

Vidic To Return For Arsenal Clash?
I, personally, do not really trust the Daily Mail. I view it with utmost suspicion when they claim that an insider source revealed something that was kept under cover until that.
However, being the foolishly optimistic fan I am, I could not help but being lifted by what I read in the aforementioned paper's online edition. There are some really soothing words in their report about Ferdinand's injury.
Whilst the club revealed only that he has not broken his foot but nothing regarding the length of his absence, the Mail claimed that Rio has a good chance of featuring against Arsenal. I suspected this: after all, if there's no metatarsal fracture then it's only a bit of bruising which should really go away until Sunday.
But I was shocked to see that Vidic whose return was put to April 19 by the most optimistic forecasts, could be back. The newspaper claims that the big Serbian is 'making sufficient progress to be under consideration too.'
All right, I told myself. It's only a newspaper report. No need to get your hopes high. And I managed not to. But if there's even a tiny piece of truth in this news then Vidic will be back for our visit to Ewood Park - and we will need him there even more than we would need him against Arsenal.

Materials, Physics and Devices for Molecular Electronics and Photonics, Volume 75 (European Materials Research Society Symposia Proceedings)
Symposium M was presented at the combined 1997 International Conference on Applied Materials/European Materials Research Society Spring meeting (ICAM'97/E-MRS'97) held in Strasbourg (France) from 16-20 June 1997. Molecular materials and devices are reaching a maturity level in terms of fabrication technologies, stability-lifetime issues and functional properties, as well as in the basic understanding of their properties, that increasingly captures the attention of wider circles of the scientific and industrial communities. Electroluminescent polymers are at the fore-front of this upsurge of interest in view of recent breakthroughs in the fields of displays or light emission. Considerable progress was reported at this meeting in terms of operational lifetime and long term stability, in particular at polymer metal interfaces under electron or hole injection conditions.The aim of this Symposium was to provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of new work in the field. More than eighty papers reflecting broad and intense activity in the field have been gathered in the proceedings.

Violence against women has no political, social or cultural barriers, and whether it takes form of rape, domestic violence, or sexual violence, it drains women's energies and undermines all women's efforts to further their own and their communities' development. Many of the issues mentioned above are forms of violence perpetuated by men on women. Female genital mutilation or FGM, may, at least in some cases be a bit different as it is regarded as a practice carried through and even initiated by some women on other women: Woman on woman oppression. Therefore by its very nature, FGM is controversial.
Those like me who oppose Female Genital Mutilation/Female Circumcision believe that it is another form of torture meted out to women that is used for the benefit of patriarchal systems that are just plain wrong, inhuman and violent. What basically also emerges here is a deep-rooted system of male domination. The man aids and abets FGM by the values he was brought up with and some of the power to do this comes from men's greater access to resources and structures of authority both outside and inside the home. "Father" did not interfere, claiming that it was a woman's affair, yet it was done wholly to benefit the men.
Usually the pressure to abolish FGM comes mainly from outside the culture that is practicing FGM, or is perceived to derive its inspiration from some source that is foreign or even hostile to that culture. No amount of outside pressuring or lobbying of a government is going to succeed or convince people to change forms of behavior, which some of these members of a culture see as perfectly acceptable and even desirable.
Proponents and some of those who practice FGM make a claim that it is their right to culture, and a cultural right to self-determination. Their argument is that they are not trying to impose the practice on other people cultures, so they are not interfering with anyone else. There is a bit of truth in this view and Western feminist opponents can easily be accused of cultural domination and imperialism. Cultural self-determination is a deeper right in their view, than the Western feminist conceptions of rights, which remains for most Arabs and Africans at grassroots levels. For things to change, the people who have to be convinced that FGM should no longer be practiced are not primarily governments and legislature, but rather women themselves, at village and township levels.
A few years back, when I was in undergrad at Georgia State University, I read an article written by Oyeronke Oyewumi, that challenged the writings and the activism done by writer Alice Walker. Her challenges are based on his opinion that Western feminists have no type of understanding to which they will be able to liberate African and Arab women from FGM. She claims that Alice Walker's approach to FGM is "an assault in the guise of an evangelizing mission to eradicate female circumcision in Africa." He also goes on to say that Alice Walker's writing is best read within the context of Western imperialism in relation to Africa. Oyewumi is not alone in her analysis of Western activism towards FGM. Many African and Arabic feminist have these views as well. They also hold the belief that while they have a certain type of knowledge and understanding of the culture they have more of a right to stop the act of FGM.
True, in order for FGM to be effectively abolished in these societies, it will be necessary for actual members of these societies to reject it, and to do so with conviction, as with any societal "issue". Eradication will only actually happen when they themselves condemn or reject FGM as a harmful practice. This means a further or new development taking place in the perception of people's rights, responsibilities and the obligations in these same African and Arab societies. The further or new development does not have to be based on a mere imitation of contemporary Western secular or feminist ideologies. It will not be the result of African or Arab societies capitulating to the domination of values or ideas arising in the course of Western history and culture. It may have its own bases developed from human nature or society that are found in these Arab and African cultures.
So what do you think? Do you think that when it comes to us taking a stand in humanitarian issues do we just leave certain issues up to the people themselves can define then as a problem or as something harmful and wrong, and only they can change it not governments, or international NGOs or laws or Westerners? I think not. Because of my belief in the true meaning of universal rights and the rights of all women, I would dare not to ignore these types of issues and think, "Oh, they will take care of it". Because sometimes they don't.

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that grows outside of the womb. It occurs in around one in every 100 pregnancies.
In a normal pregnancy, the fertilised egg will travel along the fallopian tube and will eventually implant into the lining of the uterus, where it will develop. In 95 per cent of ectopic pregnancies, the embryo will travel along the fallopian tube but, instead of implanting into the lining of the uterus, it will implant into the wall of the fallopian tube. This normally happens if the tube is blocked, damaged or narrowed as the embryo is unable to continue its journey to the uterus.
Ectopic pregnancy within a fallopian tube is an extremely serious medical emergency, and can be fatal. As the pregnancy continues and the embryo grows, it places pressure on the fallopian tube and begins to cause pain and bleeding. Eventually, the tube can burst and cause internal bleeding.
An ectopic pregnancy is normally discovered between the fourth and tenth week of pregnancy, although symptoms can begin two weeks after a missed period.
Once discovered, the pregnancy has to be removed from the woman's body. Sadly, there is no way of saving the pregnancy.
Anyone can suffer from an ectopic pregnancy, although there are some factors that increase the risk. These include suffering from conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease; sexually transmitted diseases; previous abdominal surgery; or a pregnancy created by IVF.
