(Critical Survey of Literature, Revised Edition)
Amphitryon, who together with Megara and the sons of Herakles had sought sanctuary at the altar of Zeus, lamented the fact that while Herakles was in Hades performing one of his twelve labors Lycus had murdered Creon and seized the throne of Thebes. The murderer was bent upon consolidating his position by killing Megara and her children, whose only hope lay in the protection of Zeus until Herakles returned. Lycus came to taunt them with the charge that Herakles was a coward who used a bow and killed only animals and that, in any case, he was dead in Hades and would never return.
Amphitryon, retorting that Lycus was the coward in seeking to kill an old man, a woman, and innocent children, begged that they at least be allowed to go into exile. Enraged, Lycus sent his servants fetch oak logs in order to burn the relatives of Herakles alive in their sanctuary. The chorus of old men vowed that the would fight with their staves against such a horrible sacrilege.
Megara, however, counseled that it was folly to attempt to escape destiny; Herakles could not emerge from Hades to save them and since they must die they ought to do so without being burnt alive. Amphitryon then begged that he and Megara be killed first so that they would not have to witness the massacre of innocent children, and Megara pleaded for the privilege of dressing the children in the proper funeral robes. Lycus haughtily granted both wishes. As the group left the sanctuary for the palace, Amphitryon cursed Zeus for being a senseless and unjust god. In their absence the chorus chanted an ode on the glories of Herakles and the sadness of old age.
Returning with the children, Megara woefully recounted the marvelous plans she had made for her sons. Meanwhile, Amphitryon fervently prayed to Zeus for deliverance. Suddenly they were startled by the spectacle of Herakles approaching. The great joy of their meeting was darkened by the fearful tale Megara had to...

Rather than going shopping, I went out with my Scouts to do our Survival Shelter Camp. There was lots of snow and lots of hunters around, but I'm pleased to report that everyone who went came back intact. Still, I'm undecided whether the camp or Black Friday shopping would have been the easier choice. On today's show I speak to Mark Leslie Lefebvre.

Converted to the Rewrite
When I first became serious about writing I heard stories of people who spent huge amounts of time and effort to rewrite books from scratch. That never made sense to me. After all, you have already written something. Why would you want to write it again? The stories usually had some commentary about how the writing went faster and was much better. I still couldn't wrap my head around the whole thing. Then, I went through the editorial process for Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero. The whole back and forth of revision-comment-edit-comment-revise more was a real learning experience for me. There were cases in the process where I wrote brand new chapters and threw away the parts of the book they […]Read more
World Fantasy Convention 2012
Last week I attended the 2012 edition of the World Fantasy Convention in Toronto (well, actually Richmond Hill), Ontario. I have been to WFC in the past, most recently in San Diego last year. The difference this time was, I was attending the convention as a professional writer with a book and several published short stories under my belt. I must confess, I was a little put off by the $81 cab ride; the hotel was, as mentioned above, not actually in Toronto and there were no cheaper alternatives that didn't involve excessive travel time (or at least, so I thought). However, once I was settled in the hotel, the excitement of being there started to grow. I could continue […]Read more

RomanceClass.com Advice
If you can't forget his mistake then there is little hope for your relationship.
Every time the thought of it comes into your mind, tell it to go away and that it doesn't matter anymore. Thoughts will disappear if you reject them often enough.
Otherwise, you will have a jealousy habit and this is a very difficult habit to break. Make sure you do not bring up this subject with your boyfriend ever again.
Also, please read our tips on jealousy at: http://www.romanceclass.com/miscr/LoveCat/23682

FANS said the Pompey Supporters Trust meeting had increased their confidence in the trust – but wanted to hear more details.
The panel said that because of non-disclosure agreements with administrators PKF, and fears of putting their bid at a disadvantage, members were not able to give all the specifics the audience wanted.
But they added that everyone who pledges will receive a full prospectus outlining the business plan before they are asked for the full £1,000.
Audrey Moreland, 80, of Yarborough Road, in Southsea, said: 'I thought it was very good, although we are still not getting as much information as I would like.
'But before this I though they were a little tin-pot operation run by people who were being a bit big-headed, but I was quite impressed by them.'
Joanna Doe, 56, of Nightingale Road, said the trust needed to do more to win over doubters.
'They came across as credible,' she said. 'But the problem is they are preaching to the converted. I hope they succeed because for me this isn't just a football issue, it affects the entire community.'
Spokesman Scott Mclachlan said the majority of feedback they had received was positive, but there would always be people who couldn't be won over.
'We have been as open as we possibly can' he said. 'And shown far more transparency then you are ever likely to see from someone like Balram Chainrai.'

It looks like Royce was setting up an omoplata, but realized "There is no way I am going to be move this guy" while trying to get it, so he switches to a cranking the arm with his hands. Like I guessed before, it looks like a combo omolata-armbar medley, attacking both the shoulder and eblow, with some awkward positioning and manual cranking.
12/31/2004 10:26pm, #27
Sherdog lists Royce's win over Akebono as "Submission (Wrist Lock)". What?
OK, after rewatching the submission and examing the photos, Royce does start cranking his wrist. It's hard to tell in the photo, and the ref jumps in the way in the video, but Royce does attack it.
Imagine that, defeating a 484 lbs. man with a wrist lock...

The following rather GLOWING description details Royce submission:
Akebono ended up on top, but did not have a favorable mount. As Akebono shifted his weight in an attempt to reassert himself, Gracie slowly began to squirm for position. He first got a leg up, then commenced to work his magic. Methodically, the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu master delved, deeply, into the blubbering mass atop him, finally extracting an arm. Then, with consummate skill, he worked a wrist lock. Poor Akebono began to wince in pain, and with no chance of escaping, had no choice but to submit.

Well, having watched the entire show last night, I gotta tell you, it sucked HARD and I hope the Pride show is better.
The night was marred by a recurring theme - people being completely clueless about grappling.
Abidi versus ologun. What the hell was this... A bug eyed freak versus a lazy ass french kickboxer. After a takedown that looked almost accidentally, both fighters played an enthralling game of 'who can grab and hold on for dear life the longest'. Minutes felt like hours as both fighters attempted to do as little as possible. In a brief moment of excitement, ologun punched abidi. It was riveting.
Opening Fight - The Predator defeated Kristof "The Phoenix" Midoux. - Didnt see this.
1. MMA Rules (with rope escapes) - Yoshihiro Akiyama defeated Frans Botha in the 1st round with an arm-lock. This was a good one. Yoshihiro looks to be quite the bad ass and is not only a champion judo player but a guy who likes to punch people's heads in. He won with a brilliantly executed armbar from the mount. This guy will be back to fight again, guaranteed.
3. MMA Rules: Yoshihiro Nakao defeated Don Frye by judges' decision. All mat work. This wasn't shown on the broadcast unfortunately.
4. K-1 rules: Ray Sefo defeated Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge in 24 seconds of the 1st round by TKO. This was pretty good but I think it's time for Gary Goodridge to retire for the 58th time. And not come back. Sweet knockout from Sefo, uppercut followed by hook, right on the chin each time.
5. Musashi defeated Sean O'Haire early in the 2nd round by TKO. This guy o'haire is what I would look like in K-1... terrible. After screaming myself hoarse at the TV for musashi to actually do something, I think he heard me and broke from tradition by actually throwing the odd punch and kick. He did this a few times and the other guy fell over.
6. K-1 Rules: Masato (Kobayashi) defeated Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto by judges' decision. Wicked fight, although the height difference saw Masato's leg kicks pounding Kid in the nuts more than once. The whole fight stopped for a few minutes after a particularly nasty round kick directly in the knackers. I don't like Kid that much, he is very cocky and has been a bad sportsman in most of his matches. It was nice to see him so totally outclassed as Masato picked him off with jabs and kicks. However, if they fight MMA, Masato will lose, of course.
7. Kazuyuki Fujita defeated Karam Ibrahim in the first round by KO from a big hook. Ibrahim was a little weird, and Fujita spanked him. Excellent. Yes, Ruas is in his corner and has been for a while?
8. Bob Sapp and Jerome Le Banner Yuk! Poor Bob Sapp, what is he still doing fighting? He has no fighting spirit... LeBanner punded on him almost at will with Sapp cowering like a .. big cowering thing.
9. Royce Gracie defeated Akebono in the first round by submission. It looked to me like an omoplata which didn't work, followed by Royce fiddling around with Akebono's wrist until Akebono said 'OUCH!'.
Goddamit! When is K-1 going to learn to stop putting useless weirdos in their shows!!!Imports from Japan, Shipping Worldwide! Art Junkie, Scramble, BJJ Spirits, Reversal...

Playoff Recaps 9/14: Talbot's gem helps even series
|Mitch Talbot (Photo: MiLB.com)
Clippers take Game 2, Series tied 1-1
A four-run eighth inning and a tremendous pitching performance by Mitch Talbot lifted the Clippers to a 4-1 victory, evening the 2011 Governors' Cup Final at 1-1.
After four innings of scoreless baseball, Lehigh Valley put the first run of the contest on the scoreboard on a Tagg Bozied solo homer to lead off the top of the fifth.
The Clippers tried to come back in the bottom of the 5th. Chad Huffman and Nick Johnson led off the inning with back-to-back singles. Juan Diaz then lay down a successful sacrifice bunt down the third base line, allowing both runners to get into scoring position. The next batter, Luke Carlin, flew out to shallow centerfield without either runner advancing. It left it all up to Argenis Reyes, who grounded out to first, wasting a golden scoring opportunity for Columbus.
The Clippers would finally get on the board in the bottom of the 8th. Juan Diaz led off the frame with a bloop single to center. After a Luke Carlin strikeout, Argenis Reyes lined a 2-2 pitch down the right field line for a double, putting runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. After Lehigh Valley brought in left-handed reliever Mike Zagurski, Jerad Head was intentionally walked, loading the bases with one out. It brought Travis Buck to the plate and Buck put the ball in play with a fly ball to left field that was deep enough for Diaz to score from third, tying the contest 1-1. The next batter, Jared Goedert, hit a grounder that Iron Pigs shortstop Freddy Galvis stopped, but could not attempt a throw to any base, reloading the bases with two outs. While Beau Mills was batting, Zagurski delivered a wild pitch that got away from Lehigh Valley catcher Eric Kratz. The wild pitch allowed Carlin to score from third, giving Columbus the lead 2-1. That was not the end of the scoring for Columbus. Mills further aided the Clippers' offensive cause with two-run RBI single to right field, extending the Clippers advantage to 4-1.
From there, Mitch Talbot retired the side 1-2-3 in the top of the ninth and earned his second win of the 2011 IL postseason. He had an excellent night on the mound, giving up only one run on seven hits while striking out seven and walking nobody. He beat out Nate Bump for the victory, who pitched quite well, going 7 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out one and walking one.
The venue will change as the Clippers will travel to Allentown, Pennsylvania for Game 3 of the 2011 Governor's Cup Final. Veteran right-hander Joe Martinez (8-9, 4.04 ERA in 2011) will get the start for Columbus. He will oppose Lehigh Valley right-hander Dave Bush (1-2, 3.91 ERA in 2011). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm.
Kinston loses late inning lead, game
Kinston could not outlast Frederick in game two of the Mills Cup Championship Series, falling 3-2 in a contest that closed in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
An official rain delay of three hours and seven minutes was just the beginning. Frederick managed two runs in the eighth to prevail from behind, evening the series at one game apiece. It was just the 13th time on the year that Kinston has lost a one run ballgame.

Remo 100 Series Key-Tuned Kintekloth Tubano
Remo Key-Tuned Tubanos are literally the West Music product I use more than any other. They are the foundation of the World Music Drumming Curriculum and are ideally suited for use in General Music Classrooms:
Remo AK-4104 Key-Tuned Standing Ngoma DrumTraditional West African drum, drum-key tunable, 40" tall with a 14" head. Meant to be played with sticks (not included) or with the hands. Designed by the legendary Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji, the timbre of this drum is similar to a conga or large tubano, only bigger. The standing ngoma comes with a high-density molded base which protect the bottom of the shell, minimizes the drums walking during play, and raises drum off the floor to increase the tone quality and projection.
Remo World Music Drumming Series Drumming Package A"After taking Will Schmid's World Music Drumming course I had to get the Remo World Music Drumming (Package A) it'is a great set of drums perfect for my middle school general music classes! With 16 drums and a leader's drum, there are enough drums for everyone to play at the same time without waiting to share an instrument. The additional percussion instruments are also great to add different timbres to the sound of the drums. I have also used these in my church and am looking to purchase another set to use there. These are lots of fun to play and immediately gets everyone involved in music making!" - Customer Review

With the start of the fall semester of Kindermusik classes, I am reminded once again of the many ways that music participation helps children grow and learn.
A few years ago, one of my Kindermusik parents came to the first class of the new fall semester with tears in her eyes. Her son, Michael, was 2 ½ years old, and had been in Kindermusik since he was an infant. He was a quiet child and rarely participated in class, but would show his mom how much he had learned when he was at home—often singing the songs and playing his instruments as we had in class and more. Though I frequently remind parents that every child is different in how he or she experiences class, this mom still wished Michael would actively demonstrate in class how much he enjoyed coming.
That morning, as they'd gotten ready for their day, Michael's mom told him that he'd be going to music class that morning, the first class of the new semester! Michael was very excited to go. His mom asked him,
"Are you going to sing at class?"
He replied, "No."
"Are you going to dance at class?"
"Are you going to play the instruments?"
Finally she asked, "What are you going to do at Kindermusik?"
Michael smiled and replied, "I listen."
Michael and his mom happily came to class that day and many others!
Kindermusik early childhood music and movement classes are available at West Music in Coralville, Marion, and Quad Cities.

Re: Supernatural: Third Season Avatar Creation and Game
i am by no means a fan of gory, bloody movies and such. what i do like is scare the pants off you, look behind your shoulder and jump at every little creak horror and suspense.
definately fits the bill. jenson and jared are totally HOT as well. take the
, pump it by 500%, add a family of totally hot demon hunters, lots of chills and thrills and absolutely wonderful and witty writing and there you have it. this show is scary without being over the top gory. and i love the interaction between brothres dean and sam. their lines are written so they seem loke real brothers, the things they come off with just kill me some times(lol). and it's just not same unless you're watching it at night with all the lights off. definately adds to the overall creepiness of most of the eps.
pulled me away from
, that's how original and exiting i feel it is. haven't missed a new ep yet. i started tuning in s3, it's not too hard to catch up, even though most of the series is tied together.

My Zara mens sleeveless hoodie was worn on top of a vintage leather skirt so it looked like a dress.

Kansas University freshman basketball player Cole Aldrich and his loved ones were safe and sound in their hometown of Bloomington, Minn., Wednesday night - about 20 miles from the bridge that collapsed on I-35 and sent cars tumbling into the Mississippi River.
"Everyone is alive and well," reported Walter Aldrich, father of Cole, who as of 9 p.m. Wednesday had not heard of any friends or family involved in the tragedy. "All we heard is the bridge collapsed. We're watching it on TV like everybody else."
Walter Aldrich is a construction worker who has traveled over the bridge "many times."
"I am a volunteer fireman," he reported, "but I haven't received any calls to go out there. From what I can see they have plenty of trucks out there, and I'm not needed."
He was hoping traffic over the bridge was less heavy than normal at the time of the collapse.
"I'm hoping a lot of people took alternate routes because of the construction out there," he said. "It's a very serious situation."
The bottom line?
"Tell everybody we are fine," Aldrich concluded.

Over the past couple of weeks there's been renewed criticism of large executive bonuses and banking groups that may have acted inappropriately and, in some cases, possibly illegally.
I understand arguments that say you need to pay what appear to be enormously high salaries to get the best person for the job. I understand you need people of high calibre to perform at the top of their game in a complex environment. I acknowledge banking groups have to make fiscal decisions in global markets that change by the hour. But even in the most multifaceted and complex business it's surely right that business leaders act ethically and excesses of pay are checked and challenged.
Where excessive salaries are paid I would call on the recipients to use their income and positions to support those most in need in our society. There's nothing wrong with having money; it's how we use it that's most important. Using it to support the vulnerable and weak must be one of the best things we can do.
But I also want to support and encourage business and its leaders. When I was Archdeacon of Leeds I helped set up the first chaplain to its business community. We offered pastoral care and support for business leaders and employees. It built relationships which enabled the church to challenge poor business and employee practice. It also facilitated discussions about faith and engagement with the society. We discovered most business leaders worked hard to support their staff. Many supported community and charitable interests financially and through human resources. They provided employment and contributed enormously to the economic and social fabric of society. Successful businesses, of course, make a profit. If they didn't how would they survive, how would they expand if appropriate, how would they pay salaries? That is part of business practice but there is also a challenge as to how profits are used to the benefit of the majority.
That is also true of many business leaders I've met here in Doncaster, working to provide good job opportunities and contributing enormously to help Doncaster reach its potential. Many leaders sit on boards and committees outside their immediate business to facilitate growth in the town. I'm not overly naïve; I recognise what benefits the town should benefit them.
I've said before Doncaster's a great place, with many good, exciting and positive things happening and we should encourage all those working hard to make it so and to counterbalance the negative and outrageous comments made recently which describe this as "grey block seventies architecture typical of so many ex-industrial towns which are trying to find their way".
What do they expect, a town made of gingerbread? There may be truth in some of the comments, but what they fail to mention is that what makes Doncaster great is its people.
* Peter Burrows, Bishop of Doncaster

Grime Can Be Good For You?
In contradiction to what your mom and grandmother and untold others told you as a child, playing in the dirt and not scrubbing every last drop of grime out of your hands may make you healthier. As NPR's Shots blog says, it's been known for some time that "people who grow up on farms are less likely to have ailments related to the immune system than people who grow up in cities" — less likely, that is, to have ailments including asthma, allergies, inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis. Scientists have now found more evidence for the "hygiene hypothesis," according to which those exposed in early life to more microbes — from other children, from animals — end up with immune systems that are better able to tolerate the irritants that cause asthma and are, therefore, healthier in the long run.
Microbes in the Gut Can Be Good
A just-published study in Science has found that, when one has microbes in one's gut in the early stages of life, a certain, rare part of the immune system – invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) — are in retreat. Without the microbes, "the immune cells go crazy in the lungs and intestines [the colon, in particular], increasing the risk of asthma and colitis," as NPR puts it.
Richard Blumberg, the chief of gastroenterology at Brigham and Woman's Hospital in Boston, and other scientists made these findings about microbes and immune cells in mice who were raised in entirely germ-free environments in a lab. The researchers were intrigued to discover that "the immune response in the super-clean mouse innards looked very similar to what happens in diseases like asthma." So, as NPR continues, the scientists exposed pregnant germ-free mice to microbes the day before they gave birth. The baby mice were found to have fewer iNKT cells in their guts in their early life.
The iNKT cells seem to be crucial to understanding the mice's immune responses: Genetically altered mice who were reared in a germ-free environment still do not get colitis.
Study co-author Dennis Kasper, director of the Channing Laboratory at Brigham and Women's Hospital, says that scientists now have to pinpoint which microbes out of the 500 to 1,000 species in the intestine control immune cells.
What This Study Tells Us About the Hygiene Hypothesis
As humans are not mice, the study's results may only extend so far. But Blumberg's and Kasper's research certainly lends weight to the hygiene hypothesis and could contribute to recommendations about the early years of child rearing. Other studies, notes NPR, have connected antibiotic use early in life to immune-based problems like asthma and food allergies; there is also "even some evidence that women might have more autoimmune diseases than men because they're kept cleaner than boys as children." Also intriguing is that such auto-immune diseases are more common in people in developed countries, and in those who move to these from developing regions.
Certainly the news that exposure to some microbes in early childhood might be helpful — beneficial — for lifelong health would have an effect on the industry that has grown around children's health, all those anti-bacterial soaps and products and even the banishment of sandboxes from playgrounds. Far from being "next to godliness," cleanliness might only be a harbinger of an asthmatic, food-allergenic individual.
Do you think the hygiene hypothesis is accurate?

Evaluation of the Effect of Ecologic on Root Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, and Tomato Plant, Lycopersicon esculenum
AbstractNonchemical methods and strategies for nematode management including cultural methods and engineered measures have been recommended as an alternative to methyl bromide (a major soil fumigant), due to its role in the depletion of the ozone layer. Hence, an international agreement has recently been reached calling for its reduced consumption and complete phasing out. This present research evaluates the potential of Ecologic, a biological, marine shell meal chitin material, as a soil amendment management agent for root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, control, and its effect on the growth of Floradel tomato plant, Lycopersicon esculentum. To accomplish this goal, studies were conducted during which, experimental pots were set up in greenhouse environments using sterilized soil inoculated with 5,000 root-knot eggs per 1500 g soil. There were 4 treatments and 5 replications. Treatments were: No chitin; 50 g chitin; 100 g chitin; and 200 g chitin. A two-week wait period following Ecologic amendment preceded Floradel tomato planting to allow breakdown of the chitin material into the soil. Fresh and dry weights of shoot and root materials were taken as growth end-points. A statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) was obtained with regard to the growth rate of L. esculentum at 100 g chitin treatment compared to the control with no chitin. Mean fresh weights of Floradel tomato were 78.0 ± 22.3g, 81.0 ± 20.3g, 109.0 ± 25.4g and 102.0 ± 33.3g at 0, 50, 100 and 200g chitin, respectively. The analysis of root knot nematode concentrations indicated a substantial effect on reproduction rate associated with chitin amendment. Study results showed a significant decrease in both root knot nematode eggs and juveniles (J2) at 100g and 200g Ecologic chitin levels, however, an increase in nematode concentrations was recorded at the 50g Ecologic chitin level (p ≤ 0.05). The mean amounts of J2 population, as expressed per 1500cm3 soil, were 49,933 ± 38,819, 86,050 ± 25248, 103 ± 133 and 103 ± 133 for 0, 50, 100 and 200g chitin, respectively. Similarly, the mean numbers of root knot nematode eggs (per 1500cm3 of soil) were 40,759 ± 36,712, 66,048 ± 39,730, 9,904 ± 16,591 and 9,257 ± 17,204. Root gall rating was also significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) at the 100g and 200g chitin levels compared to the control. Percent gall ratings were 3.3 ± 1.0%, 3.2 ± 1.0%, 1.0 ± 0.5%, and 1.0% ± 0.6% for amendment levels of 0, 50, 100, and 200g chitin, respectively. View Full-Text

DALLAS — This city is Ground Zero in the battle against West Nile, the mosquito-borne virus that's killed 10 people and sickened more than 200 others in Dallas County, so far, this summer.
Both the city and county have declared a state of emergency. Small airplanes this week sprayed a mist of pesticide across much of the county for the first time in more than 45 years.
Interestingly, it's the use of aerial pesticide that has sparked the most vocal concern from residents, even as the disease continues to take a toll.
Residents throughout Dallas and surrounding suburbs have mixed feelings about the use of airplanes to distribute pesticide over large swaths of land. Elected officials in each area have had to make politically tough calls about whether their jurisdiction will participate.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, the county's top administrator, told a reporter it was the "'toughest decision" he's ever had to make in office.
"I prayed about it,'' said Jenkins, "and I decided to go with the science.''
The issue is of such concern that the North Texas Poison Center was besieged with questions this week, clocking 300 callers on Thursday alone, the Dallas Morning News reported, which is almost double the daily volume.
One local TV news station launched a West Nile blog with minute-by-minute updates about weather conditions, spraying schedules, maps and the latest number of people sickened by the virus. (Text SPRAY to 48411 for updates.)
Two airplanes began spraying parts of Dallas County Thursday night, with no adverse consequences reported. But rain — which is also something of a summer rarity around here — prevented the planes from completing the job and reaching all targeted areas.
Four planes are scheduled to resume spraying Friday night.
Meanwhile, health officials and elected leaders cast the decision to use aerial spraying in the starkest possible terms.
"I cannot have any more deaths on my conscience because we failed to take action,'' Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings told reporters.
In nearby Fort Worth, no aerial spraying has been planned, although the number of reported cases of West Nile jumped 20 percent between Monday and Thursday, from 159 cases to 191, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Two deaths have been reported there, as well as one in Denton County to the north.
Spraying is done from trucks in most of those areas, as it has been in Dallas in past years. Trucks spraying pesticides have not provoked the public backlash that aerial spraying prompted this year.
Although hard to measure, opposition to aerial spraying seemed to come from across the political spectrum. Some people were skeptical about the Environmental Protection Agency's assurances that the pesticide does not pose a significant threat to humans or wildlife. Others seem wary of the government playing a large role in a health crisis.
Jim Schutze, a popular columnist at the alt-weekly Dallas Observer, has been a skeptic from the start.
"Instead of taking any kind of measured responsible approach, this entire spraying exercise in Dallas reeks of public panic and political exploitation,'' he wrote. "This whole thing is an exercise in weak leadership caving in to a media-induced panic and a lot of political pressure from affluent neighborhoods where people water their lawns too much.''

We can't help but think how good it would be for a game to incorporate exploration, trading, elements of RPGs, ship combat, PVP and a kind of space-based instance. Well to be honest we didn't think it, but the folks at Starfire Studios did, and what's more, they built this huge conglomeration of ideas and concepts into one game and released it through on Xbox Live.
Like all good space yarns, there has to be a hero, and it's you. An assistant to an aging professor, you are thrown into a world of secret discoveries, political intrigue and the fate of mankind. The story has different threads depending on which of the five factions you align yourself too. The story itself takes place across nine huge galaxies, so don't expect a quick ending.
The basic game is a twin-stick shooter: one stick is used to guide the space ship while the other directs the weapon. This is old school, so the action takes place on a level plane with no up or down to contend with (we thumb our nose at the theory of three-dimensional space, and don't start us on time being the fourth).
There is a very deep RPG element to this game that only becomes evident the more you play. As you complete quests, you gain experience points that in turn gain you levels. Every time you level up you get skill points that can be allocated to a base level of skills. These include damage, shields etc. In addition to standard experience points you also gain faction points that can be allocated to faction skills. Each faction has a different set of skills and these can vary from mining improvements to stealth, and so on.
You also have a sentient as a companion that, like you, levels up and has its own set of skills. These are dependent on your choice of sentient — you have choice of a tank, healer or defensive build. You can also teach it base skills such as improved mining.
Mining is undertaken by both you and your sentient, and is done by parking next to asteroids and selecting the mining skill. Both you and the sentient select a different asteroid which, once exhausted, explodes. Rewards include ore, crystals and power ups. These can be exchanged at a spaceport for credits.
It's at these same space ports that you can upgrade or purchase new space ships. The ships vary from scouts and assault class cargo carriers, right up to huge cruisers. You can accumulate a stable of ships that you pilot depending on mission requirements. Likewise, you have a huge array of armaments that you can deck your ship out in depending on your preferred form of destruction. These are limited by the amount of load out slots the ship has.
All the action takes place in space with no land based combat. The basic format is to blast away at an enemy's shield and start eating into the ship itself. Once destroyed, the ships can leave behind upgrades, consumables and credits for you to loot.
You can elect to play a private game; however, at any time you can elect to open it up to be part of the persistent online world and take part in player versus player games or co-operate to take on the Dark Legion or undertake instance-like quests.
The graphics are gorgeous and conjure up the vibrant colours of some of the great NASA galaxy photos they have recently been releasing. Space is not barren apparently, with space junk, asteroids and other debris creating corridors and tunnels for you to navigate through. Sound effects and audio is good with a selection of space orchestration pieces to listen to as you mine.
This might all sound fantastic, but there is a dark side to this shining star. Despite all the depth and complexity that this game delivers, it lacks one fundamental but simple component: there are no real instructions. Sure, there the basic controls are set out in the help menu, but other than that there is a lot you have to "discover" about the game. It was a real chore for us to work out how the skill system worked, how the ship upgrades were done and even some of the finer controls were only discovered after trial and error. As one of our testers said, it is a real shame that there was not a more comprehensive tutorial. You feel like you are making mistakes and thrashing about for most of the early part of the game.
This could have been a great game. Heck, it still is, but it is a real shame they did not put more effort into the player instructions instead of relying on the player to work things out as they went on. Despite this, if you are a fan of space trading and combat games, this will light up your night sky and deliver you hours of happy game play.

ong> - A woman has sued a chocolates-and-milkshake shop, saying she was fired for hiring a black woman instead of a white, "all-American girl."
Officials with Edward Marc Chocolatier, which does business as The Milk Shake Factory on the city's South Side, didn't address the specific claims made in the federal lawsuit filed Tuesday by 43-year-old Denise Beloncis, but they said they believe the litigation will be "successfully resolved."
The Pittsburgh woman said she was fired in November 2012, about three months after she was hired as the store's general manager.
The plaintiff claims a supervisor specifically told her not to hire men and to hire "the all-American girl," which the lawsuit described as blonde, blue-eyed and college-educated -- preferably at Duquesne University, a Catholic school in the city.
Beloncis' attorney, Sam Cordes, said she was fired when she instead hired a young black woman.
"As a nation we have determined that a person should not pay a price for opposing race or sex discrimination," Cordes said. "Here, the price Ms. Beloncis paid for doing the right thing was her job. The law does not allow an employer to charge that kind of price."
According to the company's website, the family-owned business was founded about 90 years ago by immigrants who have passed down recipes for handcrafted chocolates that the founders "carried with them from the family kitchen back in Greece."
The company said in a statement that it is "committed to diversity within our business and within the communities within which we operate, which makes the allegations in this lawsuit even more surprising. It is our company policy to hire the best workforce available, regardless of age, race, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, culture and/or sexual orientation, and we will continue to carry out that policy."
In addition to The Milk Shake Factory, the company has an online shop, a chocolate factory in nearby Trafford and another retail store in Arlington, Va. The company also has a sales office in Washington, D.C., where officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cordes said he doesn't know the status of the woman Beloncis hired.
The lawsuit contends Beloncis was fired on Nov. 23, 2012, because "she hired the people she felt were a good fit based on their employment history, references and availability."
Cordes filed similar lawsuits on behalf of workers at a Panera Bread store in Mount Lebanon, an upscale Pittsburgh suburb.
In that case, the plaintiffs were a black worker and the white manager who was allegedly fired for refusing to keep the worker in the kitchen instead of letting the man work the cash register. The Ohio franchisee who ran that store denied wrongdoing but agreed to pay $76,000 to settle the litigation two years ago.
"Our discrimination laws mean nothing if an employer can fire an employee for objecting to race or sex discrimination and for refusing to make racial and gender-based employment decisions," Cordes said.

Broadband users are not getting the speeds they are paying for, according to the largest survey of its kind ever undertaken by telecoms regulator Ofcom.
Nearly one fifth of UK broadband customers on an eight Megabit per second (Mbps) connection actually receive less than 2Mbps, it found.
The research showed that less than 9% of users received more than 6Mbps.
However, the report shows that average connection speed across the UK is 4.1Mbps, up from 3.6Mbps in January.

A stimulant commonly prescribed in the treatment of adults and children suffering from ADHD, Adderall is a combination medication that can cause widespread symptoms of dependence if taken irregularly, in a manner other than prescribed or for reasons other than prescribed. This medication, which is FDA approved for the treatment of narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is commonly abused by college students and others looking for a stimulant high which may include arousal, increased energy, and heightened awareness.
Recognizing Adderall Abuse
Initially, Adderall abuse may be overlooked or mistaken as some other problem. Users often show signs of having trouble staying still, they may act hyper or fidgety, and they will commonly stay up for long period of time. This drug is widely abused on college campuses and is known by many as a "study drug" because it's believed by students that the medication will help them to stay awake to cram for exams.
Early signs of Adderall abuse, as stated by the National Library of Medicine, may include:
- Nervousness or anxiety
- Restlessness and being fidgety
- Nausea and vomiting if too much is taken
- Weight loss from the lack of appetite that comes from the stimulant
- Insomnia or inability to sleep followed by long periods of sleep when the drug is not available
- Mood swings
If you suspect that someone you love may be abusing Adderall, or if you notice someone having the following symptoms after taking Adderall, call 911 immediately as allergic reaction or serious side effects may occur:
- Rapid or pounding heartbeat
- Shortness of breath or extreme anxiety
- Inability to feel lower extremities or the arms
- Verbal tics or motor tics in which repetitive motion or sound is made without cause
- Abnormal mood including mania, extreme depression or aggressiveness
- Seizures
Adderall Abuse Dangers
Long term, or persistent use of Adderall in any manner other than which it is prescribed can lead to a number of serious dangers and potential consequences. According to the Food and Drug Administration, Adderall abuse can lead to serious heart problems such as high blood pressure or heart attack.
Psychiatric problems are also possible when this drug is abused. Such dangers may include:
- Depression which could lead to suicidal thoughts or tendencies.
- Mania which can cause heightened sense of happiness followed by extreme depression or fear.
- Bipolar illness which includes changes in the mood from one extreme to another.
- Aggressiveness or hostility towards others, including loved ones.
- Hallucinations that are both auditory and visual.
Adderall Addiction & Treatment
Long term Adderall abuse can lead to addiction which will require treatment. If you suspect that you or a loved one may be addicted to Adderall, consider the following:
- Do you crave Adderall when you don't have it?
- Do you feel like life is worthless or useless without Adderall?
- Have you ever been arrested or suffered a serious consequences as a result of Adderall abuse but you continue to wish you had the drug?
- Has Adderall abuse interrupted your ability to perform at work, home or school?
- Are you interested in using Adderall despite all of the consequences you have already suffered?
- Do you get angry or upset when someone discusses a possibly problem with your Adderall use?
Answering yes to any of the above questions could mean that you are addicted to Adderall and should consider treatment.
Fortunately, many treatment options are available including:
- Residential or inpatient treatment
- Outpatient treatment
- Support groups
- Behavioral therapy
- Family therapy
- Counseling
- Medical intervention
Your first step in treatment will be to safely detox from the drug. Adderall detox can take anywhere from a few weeks up to a few months. Often times, medical intervention will be required during detox to ensure your continued safety. If you suspect that you may be addicted to Adderall, do not detox at home alone. Call 800-654-0987 for help.

Strengthening policing capacity across Asia focus of INTERPOL meeting in Nepal
KATHMANDU, Nepal – INTERPOL's Asian Regional Conference opened today, bringing together senior law enforcement officers to unite regional efforts in providing a more effective global response to combat terrorism and organized crime.
With Islamic State being driven out of conflict zones, a key topic is the threat posed by the estimated 15,000 foreign fighters still thought to be engaged in conflicts, any of whom may travel to Asia to engage in radicalization or covert cell operations.
Delegates at the three-day (18 – 20 January) meeting in Nepal will discuss areas where increased cooperation and shared best practices can help identify and interdict suspected terrorists ahead of any planned attack.
In his opening keynote address, Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal said the conference would be an important milestone to unite and strengthen law enforcement networks across the Asia-Pacific region.
"New threats and challenges put a special demand on every country to strengthen national and collective security. Today, no single country can rely solely upon its capabilities to address the problem of transnational and organized crimes," said Prime Minister Dahal.
Emphasizing the need for increased solidarity, innovation and collaboration, INTERPOL President Meng Hongwei said Asia must come together and use INTERPOL to succeed against transnational crime and terrorism.
"Asia today faces one of the severest security situations in the world, with incessant regional turbulence and conflicts impacting peace and stability," said President Meng.
"Asia and INTERPOL will play unprecedented roles in the building of a new architecture of global law enforcement and security cooperation. This is a strategic opportunity and a major responsibility," added President Meng, who highlighted the fact that Asia accounts for some 67 per cent of the world's population, providing significant potential in forging links with other areas for a global response to transnational crime threats.
Upendra Kant Aryal, Inspector General of Nepal Police said the meeting was a reflection of a consolidated effort in police cooperation to fight against the menace of terrorism and other transnational crimes.
"We need to acknowledge that police priorities are now extended beyond geo-political barriers," said Inspector General Aryal. "INTERPOL has been a highly effective platform in facilitating police agencies to prevent and fight crimes through enhanced cooperation and innovation on police and security fronts."
Environmental crime, and the involvement of organized crime networks in this illicit activity which is estimated to generate illicit profits of up to USD 258 billion, is also a key topic for discussion during the conference.
To underline the importance of interregional cooperation in addressing these threats, police representatives will be briefed on a new initiative being launched by INTERPOL specifically targeting wildlife crime with trafficking and other links between Africa and Asia.
Among the issues which will be addressed by the 117 participants from 26 countries are cybercrime, human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children. Earlier this month, use of INTERPOL's International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) database resulted in the identification of the 10,000th victim, with an average of five victims still being identified every day.
The only global platform of its kind, INTERPOL's ICSE database enables specialist officers to use sophisticated image and video comparison software to make connections between victims, abusers and locations.

The ongoing investigation of faulty lithium-ion power packs on the new 787 Dreamliner could have implications far beyond the aerospace industry, some observers worrying that Boeing's battery problems could short-circuit the nascent market for plug-ins, hybrids and other electrified automobiles.
Investigators in the U.S. and Japan have put a spotlight on the lithium backup power systems used on the new Boeing jet, linking the technology to several recent incidents, including a fire on one of the Dreamliners parked at a gate at Boston's Logan field. Some observers are pointing to a series of fires involving the battery packs used in various electric vehicles, including the Chevrolet Volt and Fisker Karma.
With the Boeing story getting a lot of airplay, "This is definitely an issue," said Joe Phillippi, of AutoTrends Consulting. "This could be particularly bad timing," the analyst cautioned, considering the push to increase sales of battery-based vehicles in the years ahead.

About Us
HealthInfoNet is an independent, nonprofit organization using information technology to improve patient care quality and safety. The organization's core service line is the management of a secure computer system, called a health information exchange (HIE), for doctors, hospitals and other providers to share important health information and improve patient care. The HIE system links medical information from separate health care sites to create a single electronic patient health record, then allows authorized providers to see that record to support patient care. In an emergency, this helps providers quickly and more accurately diagnose and treat patients. In non-emergency situations it can decrease ordering of repeat tests and give providers a more complete picture of their patients' care. Watch our Video.
The HIE went live in 2009 and now contains records for close to all of Maine residents and is connected to the majority of health care facilities in Maine. These facilities include hospitals, physician practices, federally qualified health centers, long-term care and home health facilities, behavioral health providers, and independent laboratories.
HealthInfoNet maintains an opt-out consent process for general medical information and an opt-in patient consent for certain behavioral health and HIV related information as required by Maine State law. The HIE has just over a 1% opt-out rate.
HealthInfoNet also provides a number of value added services including assisting providers with meaningful use attestation, public health reporting, event of care notifications, and population analytics and reporting services. HealthInfoNet also provides tools to support the needs of Accountable Care Organizations such as member aggregation services and predictive modeling solutions.
The organization is funded through fees charged for products and services as well as state and federal grants or contracts. This is detailed later in this report. HealthInfoNet is the recipient of a number of federal grants that have helped to expand its services and extend access of the HIE to small, rural and specialty care providers across Maine.
HealthInfoNet was incorporated in 2006 and is governed by a voluntary community-based board of directors and several board advisory committees run by Maine people serving on behalf of medical providers, public health, patients, government and business. The organization provides services across the State of Maine, and maintains its corporate office in Portland.

(Critical Guide to British Fiction)
From the moment Lord Emsworth sticks his head out the window of his library in Blandings Castle in the opening scene, the plot of Leave It to Psmith proceeds as surely and inevitably as the rows of plantings in the manicured garden which is Emsworth's only preoccupation.
Broke and inept, Freddie Threepwood approaches his uncle, Mr. Keeble, hoping to wheedle from him a thousand pounds to offset his losses at the track and to invest in a bookmaking operation. A good-hearted soul, Keeble is distressed by his inability to help his stepdaughter and her husband buy a small house in the country: Keeble's wife, Lady Constance, is as tightfisted and inflexible as her husband is generous; she has never forgiven the young girl for marrying for love rather than money and has forbidden Keeble to send the young couple a check.
Always the opportunist when borrowing money is at stake, Freddie offers a simplemindedly melodramatic solution to the problem: Arrange to steal Lady Constance's famous necklace, replacing it with a new one and meanwhile selling the stolen one and sending the money to Keeble's stepdaughter. Freddie will keep a thousand pounds as a reward for his management of the affair. Keeble agrees and Freddie proceeds.
He answers a strange "position wanted" advertisement in a London newspaper. A person named Psmith the "p" is silent has offered his services for any job, in any capacity, "provided it has nothing to do with fish," and has urged his reader in all the self-assurance of bold type to "Leave It to Psmith!"
As instructed, Psmith meets Freddie in the lobby of a London hotel, and the deal to steal the necklace is struck. While in London, Psmith goes to his club, The Drones, where Lord Emsworth, also a member, wrongly takes him to be the fashionable poet Ralston McTodd, whom Lady Constance has invited to Blandings.
Far from disabusing Emsworth of his mistake, Psmith quietly listens to the old gentleman rhapsodize on his garden. While listening, he sees from the window pretty Eve Halliday running among the shops as she gets caught in a sudden downpour. Leaving Emsworth, who never notices, Psmith steals an umbrella, gives it to Eve, and...
