text: U.S. Soybean Exports Seen Setting Record as South America Fades October 8, 2013 06:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Deliveries from the U.S. may advance to 20 million metric tons for the quarter, according to Oil World. U.S. soybean exports may climb to a record this quarter as shipments from South America fall amid dwindling supplies, Oil World wrote. Deliveries from the U.S. may advance to 20 million metric tons for the quarter, the Hamburg-based oilseed researcher wrote in an e-mailed report today. That compares with 19.2 million tons a year earlier and 14.3 million tons in the fourth quarter of 2011. Soybean futures slid 7.5 percent in Chicago trading this year on an outlook for increased production in the U.S., set to be the world's second-biggest grower of the oilseed after Brazil. The South American nation shipped out 97 percent of its export supplies of soybeans in the year's first nine months, according to Oil World. "U.S. soybean exports will have to be stepped up significantly, especially if compared to the preceding seven months, to satisfy world import demand," the researcher wrote. "With U.S. exports in September still very low, they will now have to accelerate." The U.S. shipped 5.83 million tons of soybeans in the six months through September, compared with 15.2 million tons a year earlier and 10.4 million tons in the equivalent period in 2011, according to Oil World. Brazil's six-month exports rose to 39.6 million tons from 29 million tons a year earlier and 27.9 million tons in the same span in 2011, the report showed. Outbound Shipments U.S. soybean deliveries are expected to average 6.7 million tons a month this quarter, from 1.14 million tons shipped in September and 370,000 tons in August. "Weekly export inspections have to increase substantially from now on," Oil World wrote. "At the same time, U.S. wheat and corn exports are also increasing, which could create bottlenecks along the Mississippi River." South American soybean shipments are estimated at 3.78 million tons in the fourth quarter, up from 2.16 million tons a year earlier and compared with 7.23 million tons in the final three months of 2011. Argentina is the "major swing factor" for deliveries from South America, as Brazil is left with 1.4 million tons of soybeans for export in the fourth quarter after shipping out 40.6 million tons in the first nine months, Oil World wrote. Argentine Currency Farmers in Argentina have been "reserved" soybean sellers as they retain crops as a hedge against inflation and wait for a potential devaluation of the official currency exchange rate, the industry researcher wrote. The country's fourth-quarter exports of the oilseed may be 1.74 million tons, from 600,000 tons a year earlier, according to Oil World. South American summer crop planting is delayed after "unusually" dry conditions in parts of Brazil and Argentina, the researcher wrote. Farmers in Argentina are unlikely to fully realize corn and sunflower sowing, potentially resulting in a record soybean area of 20 million hectares (49 million acres), according to Oil World. Brazilian growers may also switch area to soybeans, according to the report. Should moisture shortages continue until November in Brazil and December in Argentina, soybean planting will be curtailed and conditions for early germination will be "unsatisfactory," creating bullish conditions for the oilseed, Oil World wrote.

CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Keane played the role of hero for the LA Galaxy against the Columbus Crew and the Irish forward broke down the match in an interview with reporters after the game.
Keane's quotes are below…
(On the result of tonight's match…)
KEANE: "Of course after the result on Sunday it's important to get a win no matter which way we did it. We're certainly the better team there's no question about it when you win down a goal with ten minutes to go."
(On his the second penalty call…)
KEANE: "The second one I'm looking at the ball and someone comes into the back of you. If someone runs into the back of you without you knowing the fact is you're going to fall over. I didn't see him behind me when I wanted to take the ball down and he just ran into me. When you're in the penalty box you obviously have to be very careful."
(On the team's many opportunities tonight…)
KEANE: "We certainly should have put away a few. We had a lot chances where we went over the bar and stuff like that. I think the most important thing is getting into the spots. If we were not getting any chances I'd be certainly worried but the fact that we are getting them. It's only a matter of time before we start putting them in and we start scoring a lot of goals."
(On what he says to Gyasi Zardes amid his slump…)
KEANE: "Keep putting them away. It happens to all of us. When you don't score its in the back of your mind. When you're younger it's a little bit different than when you're old and you've been playing for a long time you know how to deal with it better. Someone like Gyasi, I'm sure he'll be thinking about it, something that I used to do when I was younger, conjuring it in your head for days. The only thing you can do is just keep plugging away, and as I said if he keeps getting put on spots its only a matter of time before he starts putting a few goals away."
(On whether he was worrying that he'd miss his second goal…)
KEANE: "No, not really, the same as the first one. I was waiting for him to go early but this one he didn't. The first one he went early so that's why I put it that way, but the second time he waited for the last second. I said if he was going to wait I'm going to put it in the same corner. So luckily enough for me it went through."
(On the quick turnaround against FC Dallas…)
KEANE: "Obviously it's been a really tough week for us. I think that's why we have all of the trainers to make sure we get ready for the game Sunday. It's a quick turnaround but I think it's the same for everybody so it doesn't make a difference."
(On if the team had lost…)
KEANE: "I think we would have been completely shattered, to be honest our heads would have been down. But, because you do win a game, its amazing how confidence can get you through games and get through a few more days. Yeah we lost the game on Sunday, but the fact that we've got the three points is huge. "
(On the overall play tonight…)
KEANE: "We defended well and we played a lot of chances. It's a game where there no way we should have lost. They had one chance and that was with the header. We had a lot of chances, just didn't put them away, and that's the way it goes. As long as we keep plugging away and keep getting in position then we'll be fine."

REQUIRES PORTAL 2. A companion mod to the 7-part interview series at Rock Paper Shotgun that focuses on discussing level design and process. You could also call it an "interview mod," I guess. Or maybe it's one of those dreaded art mods? I'll let you decide how to label it, but given the choice, talking about the game rarely matters as much as playing it. So just play it. (This mod was sponsored by Rock Paper Shotgun; built and compiled by Robert Yang; contributors are Dan Pinchbeck, Jack Monahan, Magnar Jenssen, Brendon Chung, Davey Wreden, Ed Key, and Richard Perrin.)
Although the entire time I was very confused, it was the best Portal 2 level i've ever played

I am looking to sell my current u/w setup, which I have purchased about 2 years ago. The items were only used in about 40-50 dives maximum, mostly fresh lake water and some dives in Egypt. Everything is still in very good condition and fully functional. The reason for the sale is that I want to upgrade to a bigger model.
Picture of my set: http://www.tauchprof...X1200HD_Set.jpg
Sample pictures here:
The set includes:
- Sea&Sea DX 1200HD camera with underwater housing
- Sea&Sea YS-27 strobe with arm set
Obviously, I'll also include everything else that came with the package, like cables, battery charger, O-rings, etc .. and I'll even throw in my 8GB SDHC memory card for the camera. That means that the set is ready to go. I am only selling as a set, no individual items.
Current street price is still 900 ($ 1300) and I was hoping to get about 500 ($ 700) out of it, but I am willing to negotiate. If you are interested or have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

The U.S. Supreme Court will attempt to answer a question that has perplexed the technology industry for decades: When is a piece of software patentable?
On Friday, the high court agreed to hear an appeal of a case that has tied lower courts in knots. A May ruling in the case from a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., yielded seven opinions, totaling more than 120 pages, and no clear answer to whether – and when – computer code should get patent protection.
The issue has created a curious split in the technology sector. On one side lie technology giants such as Google Inc., Facebook Inc.FB +3.27%, and Intuit Inc.INTU +1.40%, which largely believe the Patent & Trademark Office has issued too many software patents in recent years, and would like to see courts apply a more exacting standard when reviewing them.
On the other, lies a collection of big and small technology companies, includingInternational Business Machines Corp.IBM +0.96%, which worry that tighter standards on software patents could hurt innovation.
"This is the biggest patent case we've seen in years for the technology sector, and probably the biggest one we'll see for the next decade," said Matthew Moore, a patent lawyer at Latham & Watkins LLP in Washington, D.C., who is not involved in the case.
"Whether software is patentable is a hugely important issue that companies are craving some clarity on."
The case concerns a computer program that helps foreign-exchange buyers and sellers settle their trades.
In 2007, CLS Bank International sued Alice Corp, an Australian company partly owned byNational Australia Bank Ltd.NAB.AU -1.96%, asking a court to invalidate several Alice patents on the idea.
CLS, which sells services to buyers and sellers on the foreign-exchange markets, argued that Alice's patents described a process – using an intermediary to settle trades—that has been around for too long. In the parlance of patent law, the fundamental idea behind the software is too "abstract" to patent, CLS's lawyers argued.
But Alice countered that the patents did more than just bring an old idea into the computer age.
The patents "require the use of a computer to serve as an electronic intermediary in a particular way—one of myriad ways in which two parties might exchange obligations using a computer as an electronic intermediary," wrote Alice's lawyers at Williams & Connolly LLP in a court filing from earlier in the year.
The "computer in all of Alice's claims is far more than a 'token' addition . . . and the claims are not directed to abstract ideas."
While players in the software industry are split on the precise amount of scrutiny a court should apply to a software patents, they agree that the area needs certainty.
The lack of clear rules can make it hard for a company developing a product, for instance, to know whether to it needs to license a patent from a competitor – or challenge it in court. The uncertainty has helped lead to a big jump in expensive and time-consuming patent court battles, they say.
But drafting clear rules on when software should be patentable isn't going to be easy for the justices, say legal experts.
"You basically have a 'you-know-an-innovation-when-you-see-it' standard," said Ed Reines, a patent lawyer at Weil, Gotshal & Manges in Silicon Valley. "Articulating a test that divides what's patentable and what isn't is extremely difficult."

Working in collaboration with researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), JILA physicists are at the forefront of efforts to invent and refine precision measurement tools. These tools allow scientists to probe tiny structures inside living cells, study the properties of ultracold matter, monitor the dynamics of chemical reactions, directly measure the frequency of visible light, study the behavior of electrons in semiconductors, precisely transmit time and frequency information from atomic clocks, and investigate phenomena heretofore too small or too fast to "see," much less precisely quantify. Precision measurement research falls into five areas: biological force standards, measurements of fundamental parameters, precision optical frequency metrology, precision time transfer, and ultrasensitive and ultrastable devices. Within these areas, scientists are seeking answers to such questions as:
- What is the most accurate and secure way to communicate time and frequency?
- Have fundamental "constants" been constant since the early days of the Universe?
- Does the electron have an electric dipole moment?
- Can we refine precision measurement to not only examine the fundamental processes of nature but also, in some cases, to manipulate them?
- How can we precisely detect gravitational waves emanating from black hole binaries?
- Is it possible to measure nanomechanical motion with precision beyond the standard quantum limit?
- Can biomolecules such as DNA be developed as force standards for the measurement of forces of a few trillionths of a Newton?
- What are the quantum limits of optical frequency comb lasers?

PILTON, England (AP) — This could be the last time, as Mick Jagger once sang. For the Rolling Stones, it's definitely a first.
The veteran rock rabble-rousers play Britain's Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, their debut appearance at the country's most prestigious rock music event.
Many of the 135,000 festival ticket-holders are expected to cram the space in front of the Pyramid Stage for the gig.
Jagger wouldn't reveal details of the set list in a pre-show BBC radio interview, saying "it's nice to have a bit of a surprise."
Jagger, who turns 70 in July, also gave no clue about whether the band he started with Keith Richards in 1962 will ever call it quits. He said, "I've no idea," before telling an interviewer that he'd probably continue as long as he was wanted.
The band recently played a string of North American dates on its "50 and Counting" tour and is due to play two concerts in London's Hyde Park next month.
The Stones turned down offers to play Glastonbury for years, but appear to have embraced the down-to-earth spirit of the festival, held on a farm in southwest England. On Saturday Jagger tweeted a picture of himself outside a yurt, a Mongolian-style felt tent where he reportedly spent the night.
Guitarist Richards said the band was "destined to play Glastonbury."
"I look upon it as a culmination of our British heritage really," he said. "It had to be done and it's going to be done, and we'll see what happens, you know."
The Glastonbury Festival was founded by Michael Eavis in 1970 on his Worthy Farm near Pilton, 120 miles (193 kilometers) southwest of London. It is famous for its eclectic lineup — and the mud that overwhelms the site in rainy years.
Other performers on Saturday include Elvis Costello and Primal Scream.
But for many festivalgoers, the Stones were the main event.
"I know the festival organizers have been trying to get hold of them for a long time, so there will be a brilliant atmosphere," said Adam Robinson, 25. "I predict there will be a massive sing-a-long."
The three-day festival wraps up Sunday with a headlining set from Mumford & Sons.

England are a tough nut to crack: Alastair Cook
England captain Alastair Cook has warned Australia that his Ashes winners will prove a tough nut to crack when the bitter rivalry resumes later this year.cricket Updated: Aug 26, 2013 13:03 IST
England captain Alastair Cook has warned Australia that his Ashes winners will prove a tough nut to crack when the bitter rivalry resumes later this year.
Cook's team concluded their dominant 3-0 series win over the Australians with a dramatic draw in the fifth Test at The Oval on Sunday and thoughts have already turned to the next instalment of cricket's most enduring grudge match.
England, set a target of 227 to win after Australia captain Michael Clarke's bold declaration, needed 21 more to win off 24 balls with five wickets left when the umpires decided the light, even with the floodlights on, was too dark to continue.
The draw meant England have now triumphed in three successive Test series against Australia for the first time since the 1950s.
And Cook, delighted with the way his team coped with the pressure of being favourites, believes his battle-hardened troops will have no problems dealing with the renewed challenge from Clarke's men in the rematch.
"If you go right back to the start of the series a lot of questions were asked of the England team and people wondered if we would be able to handle the pressure of being favourites. To be able to deliver on that means we can enjoy a few well deserved beers," Cook said.
"We've had some tough times but we've shown character. When runs needed to be scored and wickets need to be taken we've done it.
"That's the hallmark of a good side, Even when the opposition scored nearly 500 here we can force our way back into the game.
"We are becoming incredibly tough to beat. We are forcing our way back into games and that comes with experience."
Cook knows Australia will come at England hard on enemy territory in the year's second Ashes series, which starts in Brisbane in late November.
But he is certain his squad can cope with anything the hosts throw at them.
"In Australian conditions where they are more comfortable of course it's going to be hard, that's why Australia is such a hard place to go. But I feel very comfortable that this side is capable of doing that," he said.
"You earn the right. You look at our side and there is a lot of experience and knowledge that they are world class and will deliver when it matters.
"We have been through some tough times and good times and we know when to draw on it."
A rancorous series reached an explosive finale during The Oval Test as Australian coach Darren Lehmann accused England bowler Stuart Broad of cheating when he failed to walk despite a clear edge at Trent Bridge earlier in the series, while both teams were caught sledging.
However, Cook shrugged off talk of bad blood between the sides, claiming the war of words was the inevitable result of two teams so desperate to win.
"It's been an interesting series in that way. It's been hard, tough cricket and no side has been prepared to give an inch," he said.
"It's water off a ducks back. You can say what you want. The guys in the other side are entitled to their opinion.
"What's important is how we concentrate on what we do."
After watching Michael Vaughan and Andrew Strauss, his predecessors as England captain, lift the famous replica Ashes urn over the last eight years, it was finally Cook's turn on Sunday and the Essex batsman said: "It's an incredible feeling, one that unfortunately happens so quickly after such a long build up in your mind. It's what dreams are made of."
While Cook savours the best moment of his career, England's star performer Ian Bell warned his team-mates not to get complacent.
Bell, who scored 562 runs at 62.44 with three hundreds during this Ashes campaign, said: "Going into the series we would have taken 3-0 and it's left it well posed going into the series down under.
"But as a group we play our best cricket taking it a game at a time. If you get carried away or look too far ahead it bites you on the arse."

So I try to pull myself up by my bootstraps and head over to the fast track area (seems to be where I'm usually placed). I have 8 patients and a very worried day shift nurse waiting for me. Report sounds something like this;
'Curtain 1 is a 33 year old guy came in with coffee ground vomiting. He's got 2 boluses of fluid and needs a pantoloc infusion started along with another PIV. He's due for another CBC in two hours and he's waiting for a GI consult. Keep a close eye on him. Curtain 2 is HIV/HIT positive and came in for query pneumonia. Her sats are now in the low 80s. She's gonna need help and lots of it. Oh she's also isolation for ESBL precautions. Watch out – she's kind of a bitch and may try to hit you or rip of your mask. Curtain 3 is a homeless lady, EtOH abuse, left elbow cellulitis and waiting for an ortho consult to rule out septic arthritis. Her morphine tolerance can rival that of a large baby elephant so keep on signing out as much as you need but keep an eye out for respiratory depression but you knew that hahaha! Curtain 4 is another homeless EtOH abuser and is VERY tremulous. He needs hourly IV diazepam. He's to be discharged when he stops shaking. Curtain 5 is a lol who's waiting for a bed in medicine. The resident wrote a shit load of orders for her. My advice would be to start her cipro, ancef and avelox and let the floor worry about everything else. Keep an eye out on her I&Os cuz the resident is really anal about it. Jerk. Curtain 6 is a perforated appendicitis but GI can't take her right now because they've got 3 urgent cases lined up ahead of her. She's got admission orders so start her antibiotics quickly. Oh and she'll probably be spiking a fever soon. Do hourly vitals on her cuz she just doesn't look right. Good luck hon – make sure you ask for help. Good night'.
When that report was finished I wanted to hide in the bathroom and cry. Turns out that between patient transfers to the floor, I went to the bathroom and experienced what could be my first ever panic attack. I was definitely tachy, diaphoretic and vomited. Had I been older, I would have thought I was having an MI. Not a good patient load to start of with when I'm still a newbie. I don't know how I managed to survive that night – all I remember is that my priority was sticking on high flow oxygen to bitchy HIV lady, getting pantoloc to coffee grounds guy, antibiotics for old lady and perforated api woman while begging admitting to find beds for the ones who were waiting. When I finally got a bed for my perforated api lady, I realized that I forgot to give her Tylenol for her fever. Since Tylenol was not in her admission orders, the medical directive becomes void on the floor. The floor nurse made sure she bitched at me. Funny thing is that I had Tylenol in my pocket and was willing to sign on the chart for it but she wouldn't let me. Her problem.
Not that I want a night like that again, but looking back on it I got a month's worth of learning in 12 hours. Sure I needed a stiff drink after that but since it was morning time when I was finished I just crawled up in my bed and tried to forget that any of the night actually happened. My boss is telling me that she wants to test run another independent shift in a few days so I suppose I better I get my butt into gear and get ready. I don't wanna!

Only 26 more to go.
Everything came together for the Lipscomb Bisons Friday afternoon as they beat rival Belmont 12-3 at Shelby Park.
It was the first Atlantic Sun game of the season for the Bisons who are 6-11 overall, 1-0 in the conference. Belmont is 11-7, 0-4 in A-Sun games.
"There are a bunch of conference games, but you like to get off to a good start," Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand said. "Fortunately, we did."
The series continues Saturday at 2 p.m. The third game is slated for Sunday at 1 p.m., but could become part of a doubleheader Saturday. Final word on the scheduling will be given until Saturday morning.
The Bisons scored three runs in the first, one in the second, four in the fifth, two in the sixth and two in the eighth.
"I like to see that our offense is finally going," Forehand said. "When you score a lot of runs it makes up for a lot of inefficiencies that sometimes happen during a ballgame like mistakes on defense. Sometimes a pitcher might get in trouble a little bit, but scoring a lot of runs takes the burden off of everything else."
Tyler Wilson started it all off in the first when he was safe on a bunt single to second. M.L. Williams singled to third base. Cory Hale was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Zach Messer grounded out to short to bring home Tyler Wilson. Lee Wilson reached base on an error by the first baseman that allowed Williams to score. Ryan Wilkins singled through the left side to sending Hale home.
"The offense cranked up early," Forehand said. "We got a few bunts down.
"The bottom line is getting those runners in from second and third where we don't come away with nothing. We did that."
Messer drove in five runs for the second time this season. He also had five against Canisius March 2. He is tied with Cory Hale for the season game high in RBI. In addition to the RBI in the first he brought in two more with a double to left center in the fifth, one with a double to center in the sixth and another one with a single to left in the eighth.
Messer, M.L. Williams and Lee Wilson each had three hits for the Bisons. The Bisons finished with 14 hits and 12 runs batted in.
Kyle Henry hit a solo home run to left field in the second. Wilkins also added a double.
"Hopefully, everybody is coming into their roles and understanding what they have to do to make the offense click," Forehand said. "A player doesn't have to hit the ball out of the park every time.
"Zach got a run in on a ground ball. He has been pressing on getting the ball to the fence. "
Right-hander Josh Smith raised his record to 3-1. He pitched seven innings, allowing five hits and three runs, all earned. He walked four and struck out five.
Belmont scored one run in the third on a double down the left field line by Derek Hamblen. They also added two runs in the fifth, both on a home run to left field by Dylan Craig who led his team with three hits.
The biggest defensive play was by Williams in the fifth. He jumped above the left field fence to snare what would have been a home run by Nate Woods.
"That probably changes the game," Forehand said. "If that ball goes out of the park the momentum swings to their side. " Left-hander Alex Ross closed out the game with two scoreless innings. He did give up four hits.
"Starting pitching got us off to a good start," Forehand said. "We expect Josh to keep us in games every Friday. He doesn't have to win every game. He has to keep us in games. Hopefully, he can do it 11 or 12 more times."

Newspapers Win Suit Against Google, Get Their Wish To Be Delisted, Then Complain

So... you'd think the newspapers would be happy, right? Nope. David Muir points us to the news that they're complaining about the "harsh retaliation" from Google dropping them from Google's index.
So, let me get this straight. When Google links to them, it's "theft." But when they don't link to them, it's "harsh retaliation." How does that work?
Of course, what it comes down to is that this is all about money. The newspapers just want Google to pay up, so they pretend they're offended by the links, even though they know they need that traffic. So they sued, got their money... and are now suffering because Google won't link to them any more (under direct orders from the court). Perhaps next time, they'll think through the long term consequences of opting out of Google's index...

Our medicine cabinets have become a loaded guns, says Todd Singer, director of HopeRx, a community coalition formed to address the problem of prescription drug abuse in Henderson County.
Our medicine cabinets have become a loaded guns, says Todd Singer, director of HopeRx, a community coalition formed to address the problem of prescription drug abuse in Henderson County.
"This epidemic does not discriminate by race, religion, age, income or gender," Singer said Thursday at a community conversation hosted by HopeRx at Blue Ridge Community College. "Each day, 100 children and adults die from prescription drug overdose (nationwide); each day 85 million Americans are in some way affected by this — these statistics are just the tip of the iceberg."
Prescription drug-related deaths made up nearly 80 percent of the 1,140 unintentional poisoning deaths in North Carolina for 2011, according to the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics.
At Thursday's event, 100 local government officials, health care providers, law enforcement officers and concerned citizens gathered to discuss the impact of prescription drug abuse.
Individuals shared ways in which the issue affects them in their work.
Daniel Benavides with El Centro of Hendersonville said prescription drug abuse is a problem some families cannot acknowledge, even after the death of a loved one.
"Every time I see an obit for a person who is between 15 and 30 years of age, I wonder what it is," Benavides said. "Sometimes a family will let it be known, 'We have a problem'; other times, it's under the rug — we have a prob�lem and you're not going to hear it from my family."
A Hendersonville police officer, who is not being named because he works on the narcotics task force, said he has noticed that people don't seem to be as afraid of prescription drugs as they are of street drugs.
"The same stigma that's attached to drugs like meth and crack and coke just isn't attached to this," the officer said. "One lady in particular who had a perfectly clean criminal history, 57 years old, she was selling $6,500 in pills a week."
He said that he has noticed a large number of older individuals who have never committed a crime selling their prescriptions because of how lucrative it is.
"And I honestly believe that this woman would have never sold meth or coke because she had it in her head that that was such a horrible thing, but she was selling something that doctors hand out and it can't be that bad," the officer said.
Prescription drug abuse can be particularly hard to detect, participants said, because some people have legitimate prescriptions for documented medical conditions.
District Court Judge Emily Cowan said prescription abuse is difficult to detect through current drug screening of people already involved in the court system.
"Let's say you have a prescription for one opiate, you can use any or as much as you want to and it's still going to show that you just used an opiate, so you will have a clean drug screen," Cowan said.
She said drugs such as methamphetamine or cocaine are much easier to detect because any amount in a person's system is illegal.
To counteract the screening problem, Cowan said she has begun ordering pill counts in cases where abuse is suspected. That way a probation officer will be able to check to make sure that the person is not abusing a prescription or selling the drugs illegally.
Singer said HopeRx plans to facilitate more conversations so Henderson County residents can work together to find solutions to the problem of prescription drug abuse and overdose deaths.

Mr. Speaker, I stand in the House today to salute the Chatham Ironmen on winning the New Brunswick senior baseball championship for 2011. The team defeated the Fredericton Royals in a 3-2 thriller to take the best-of-seven series four games to two. This is the Chatham Ironmen's 10th provincial title, and all in Miramichi are so proud of the team. It will now represent the province of New Brunswick at the senior nationals in Prince George, B.C., in August 2012. Also, Miramichi can be proud of having both the senior and junior Ironmen as baseball champions for 2011.
Congratulations to all the players for an excellent season, with special mention of Greg Morris, long-time coach; Daryl Matthews, manager; Ronnie Hardy and Terry Leggatt, assistant coaches; and Ronnie McCormack, trainer, as well as the fans and volunteers.
Good luck in British Columbia, boys. Go, Ironmen, go.

When she inherits her Grandfather's estate, Meghan must face the past she can't remember. Strange things start happening the moment she enters her new home. Just days after she arrives at the house she inherited, an accident meant for her injures a good friend. Is it a ghost or someone more sinister that doesn't want her to remember?
Meghan thought a house like this one would be out of place in the northern states but somehow this one wasn't. This house blended into the landscape without seeming overly grand. The woods behind the house gave it a natural back drop.
The papers on the seat next to her proving her ownership labeled the property as Thorp Manor. The house, its contents, and what most would consider a small fortune, were now hers. She still couldn't get used to the idea she owned all of this. She had checked with the power company and the lights and water had been turned on the day before her arrival.
A few days ago on her birthday she'd had a visit from Geoffrey Anderson, attorney at law. He told her he represented the estate of the late Leon Thorp. Leon Thorp passed away years ago and left everything in his estate to his granddaughter Meghan when she reached the age of twenty five. Meghan had lost both her parents in an explosion when she was three and had lived in this house for the two years after. She couldn't remember the accident or her grandfather, but now, twenty years later she had inherited Leon's estate.
Unseen eyes watched her from behind the ragged curtains in an upstairs room as she took the key from her purse and unlocked the front door. When Meghan stepped over the threshold and into the foyer of the house, she shivered. She wasn't sure why but she had a creepy feeling about being in the house. The air in the house was musty, and she could tell no one had lived there for a long time. The sun coming in the doorway revealed small particles of dust flying everywhere. Leaving the front door open, Meghan walked through the first floor room. Her footsteps echoed on the hardwood floors as she looked for her first time at her inheritance. Most of the furniture was draped in dust covers and when she sneezed, the sound faintly echoed through out the house. She thought she could hear footsteps above her head. But when she listened, and there were no other sounds, she dismissed it as part of her imagination.
Meghan stopped in front of a painting atop the mantle in the main parlor. It was a portrait of the man whom she assumed was Leon Thorp. He was a handsome man; tall and broad-shouldered and his bearing was almost one of royalty. He looked as if he belonged in this big house. Her imagination could see him living the life of a land baron, overseeing the work hands as they labored in the fields and then after a hard day, coming home to his wife and children. She shook her head. Sometimes, she thought her imagination was her worst enemy.
I loved Meghan's spunkiness and willful refusal to let the bad guy win yet again. If you like spooky stories, true evil bad guys, and spunky heroines, you will like Meghan's Legacy!

Hungarian kayaker Danuta Kozak won her third gold medal of the Games on Saturday, a rare feat that has been matched by just two canoe sprint athletes before her.
Kozak and teammates Gabriella Szabo, Tamara Csipes and Krisztina Fazekas-Zur won the women's K-4 500-meter sprint in 1:31.482, ahead of silver medal-winning Germany and bronze-winning Belarus.
The victory is the latest in Hungary's history of dominance in the sport. Hungary's women won the event at the 2012 Games and took silver in the K-4 at the 2008, 2004 and 2000 Olympics.
If that feat sounds unbelievable, Kozak herself has yet to process it.
"I'm very happy," Kozak said after the race. "I think I need some time until I believe it."
Kozak is now one of her country's most decorated Olympians, having won five gold medals and a silver. Her two other gold medals in Rio were in the women's K-2 500m on Tuesday and K-1 500m on Thursday.

The BBA's Public Service blog, Beyond the Billable is your one stop shop for everything Public Service at the BBA. Check it out here.
The M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program -- a public service partnership between the Boston Bar Association and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts -- expects to reach over one thousand students in 13 Massachusetts Public Schools in 2013. This represents more than a doubling of the students served in 2012.
"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to provide such an important life skill to this very diverse population," says BBA Public Service Manager Sonia Shah. "This will be the first time since this program began as a pilot project at the Dorchester Academy of Public Service in 2008 that we need to recruit significant numbers of volunteers to meet the demand."
The boost in demand for 2013 can be attributed to the BBA's strong, collaborative relationship with the Boston Private Industry Council, and also to a suggestion by a BBA member living in Sharon, MA that Sharon High School provide the M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy course to every senior. For a summary sheet of modules, click here.
The BBA's relationship with PIC developed over years of working together on the BBA Summer Jobs Program, which provides enrichment opportunities for diverse students in Boston's Public High Schools. Ordinarily taught between January and March, the M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program in 2008 began being offered to the Summer Jobs students well.
During the summer of 2012, BBA volunteers and U.S. Bankruptcy judges also taught this financial literacy course to PIC Summer Jobs Students working at Sovereign and Citizens Banks and to the Nelson Fellows at the Federal District Court.
"We're going to need some 100 new volunteers, and as always we'll convene a training session to make our volunteers feel confident about what they're doing," said Shah. The training session will be held at the BBA on January 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. and all curriculum material will be provided. To register for the training session, click here.
Volunteers for the M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program need not be bankruptcy lawyers. Volunteers in past years have included law firm professional staff.

In this article, under certain parametric conditions, we study the first integrals of the Duffing-van der Pol-type oscillator equations which include the van der Pol and the Duffing oscillator systems, as particular cases. After making a series of variable transformations and applying the Preller-Singer method, we find the first integrals of the simplified equations without complicated calculations. Through the inverse transformations we obtain the first integrals of the original equations. Some statements in the literature are indicated and clarified.

For the past several years, State Police Troop C has had a Zero for December campaign that aims for no fatal wrecks during the holidays, but the goal wasn't reached this last time.
For the past several years, State Police Troop C has had a Zero for December campaign that aims for no fatal wrecks during the holidays, but the goal wasn't reached this last time.
"The main message is the goal," said Trooper Evan Harrell. "Even though we have fatalities, we still campaign to help raise awareness."
The campaign runs from Thanksgiving until Jan. 2. There were six fatal wrecks during that time in Troop C's area, which encompasses Terrebonne, Lafourche and Assumption parishes, as well as parts of St. Johns and St. James parishes. Of those wrecks, two were in St. James, two in Lafourche and two in Terrebonne.
Zero for December also includes State Police along with local agencies boosting drunk-driving enforcement with extra patrols. Harrell said the extra presence serves to act as a deterrent to people who may consider drinking and driving.
"We put more troopers on the road for holidays because we see more alcohol consumption due to the festivities," Harrell said.
Of the fatal wrecks during the holidays, alcohol was apparent in only one.
Gregory Poindexter, 32, while trying to pass a vehicle in a no-pass zone heading north on La. 659, collided head-on with 18-year-old Terri Mckever's vehicle. After the impact, Poindexter struck the vehicle he was trying to pass, which killed 70-year-old Lindy Bascle.
Poindexter and McKever were transported to Terrebonne General Medical Center and treated for minor injuries.
Upon Poindexter's release from the hospital, he was charged with vehicular homicide and other traffic violations.
The six death tally this year was the same as during the 2012 campaign.
However, Houma Police charged more people for drunk driving in 2012 than in previous years, according to department-supplied data.
More than 230 motorists were charged with DWI in 2012, said Sgt. Daniel Belanger, traffic supervisor for that agency. That's compared to 155 in 2011 and 129 in 2010.
"Even though we don't reach our goal of Zero for December, that doesn't mean we are going to give up on the campaign, and hopefully we will reach that goal someday," Harrell said.
Harrell said he is confident that strides in raising awareness go a long way in preventing vehicular fatalities.
The department is getting more calls from *557 lines, which are lines motorists can call to report sightings of impaired drivers, he said.
However, some have said putting a concrete number with an initiative may just be aiming for disappointment.
Jamie Ainsworth, spokeswoman for the state Highway Safety Commission, said recent programs such as Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, don't have measurable slogans because there is a risk of "setting yourself up for failure."
Zero for December is something only done in Troop C's area and not statewide.
Peter Scharf, however, a criminologist at Tulane University in New Orleans, said the tactic is a good one. Much like a business, taxpayers want to see the best way to get the most out of their money. If this means seeing a reduction in fatalities on the road through a program promoting awareness, then it is an effective model.
Harrell said the campaign seems to be affective in raising awareness and reducing fatalities on the road. Either way, he said, the campaign promotes a positive message.
"Every time you lose a life, others are affected," he said. "To lose a loved one is tragic enough, but to lose them on a holiday is even worse. We have to keep up our efforts and get the word out before people go out there on the road impaired and kill somebody."


text: Power Hour: Feed Demand One Key Bright Spot for Corn August 9, 2013 09:45 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email The specter of a 2 billion bushel corn carryover for 2013/14 is sobering price news, but keep your eyes peeled on one of the most important demand hot spots that spells good news: livestock. Feed use of corn led all other categories in 2007/08, at 5.9 billion bushels, but for 2012/13 it was just 4.4 billion, according to USDA projections. That's a 1.5 billion bushel drop in corn feed demand, and feed use today has fallen to the No. 2 demand spot behind ethanol. Just think where December 2013 corn futures would be with that 1.5 billion demand back right now. "It is conceivable that feed use could increase to the 5.2 billion bushel range in front of us as the livestock sectors grow," says Scott Brown, ag economist at the University of Missouri. That's huge, and would mean an additional 800 million bushels of corn demand, and catapult feed use back ahead of ethanol as the No. 1 use category. It also would be an incredible welcome demand story with sobering growth prospect news at the moment on the export and ethanol fronts. What would allow feed use to rebound? Cheaper feed costs, no question, the outlook for a growing U.S. and global economies, and in many states, the end of a several-year-running drought. The combination of these factors—should they all occur as expected—will allow livestock producers—with the exception of the fed cattle business—to become profitable this fall and 2014, if they aren't already, Brown says. Increasing profits equals industry growth and more feed demand. "Livestock producers got hit with the double-whammy of high feed costs, and the worst economic downturn in decades that curtailed meat and dairy demand," Brown says. "Overall, this has been the worst situation ever for livestock profitability," he adds. The best news for both livestock producers as well as feed producers is the bright outlook for U.S. exports of livestock products. Many experts look for dramatic improvement on the livestock export front over the next decade, even for dairy, which until fairly recently, was largely a domestic industry. Exporting more is the most important factor to vibrant livestock sectors moving forward, given the outlook for the U.S. "We're a mature market," says Derrell Peel, ag economist at Oklahoma State University. From 2007 to 2013, per capita meat consumption declined by 20 lbs. per capita, to 200 lbs. With a stronger U.S. economy, Brown sees the possibility for the industry to earn back 10 lbs. of that, but only that. Moreover, the U.S. population growth rate has declined from 1.1% to 0.7% since 2009, another factor decreasing U.S. demand growth. All this points to the importance of exports, both for future livestock profits as well as that of crop growers needing to grow their demand markets, too. However, the U.S. will have competition from other countries, certainly, such as Brazil, who wants a piece of that export pie. Over the next decade, however, most believe the U.S. will score well on improving exports. Back to news

Behind the Numbers: The Other Guys of the YearPosted by KCarpenter on February 16th, 2011
Kellen Carpenter is an RTC contributor.
The Player of the Year race in college basketball is an interesting and bizarre thing. The most talented player is rarely selected, and the winner is seldom a National Champion. I don't want to go so far as to say the race is a popularity contest, but it's something akin to one. Instead of picking the best player, the voters like to pick the most emblematic player, or failing that, the most interesting. Oh, and that player has to almost inevitably be a bit of a ball hog. Evan Turner was not the best basketball player in the country last year, as fans of the Philadelphia 76ers know all too well, but he was a skilled-enough, multi-talented player on a pedigreed team that won a lot of games. With that logic in mind, it's pretty safe to pencil in Jimmer Freddete, Jared Sullinger, Derrick Williams, Kemba Walker or Nolan Smith as the front-runners of that race. This was true in December, as well. I don't want to say that the national Player of the Year race is dead, just that it's perpetually unsurprising, even if the final result does have that extra spice of arbitrariness thrown in for good measure.
So instead of breaking down the Player of the Year race and debating just how good, on the scale of really good to incredibly good all those familiar faces are, I thought we could take some time to show some love to some mostly unfamiliar faces who are having extraordinary and superlative seasons of their own. Maybe they don't play a great all-around game, maybe their teams don't win, and maybe some of them aren't good so much as weird, but let's celebrate them all anyway. We need a name for this party, though, so let's call it the Other Guys of the Year Awards, dig into the depths of Ken Pomeroy's stats tables, and hand out some imaginary statuettes.
The first awards go to a pair of players who play for the same team in the Big South. The Iron Man Award goes to Khalid Mutakabbir of Presbyterian who has played 96.1% of all available minutes, a greater percentage than any other player in Division I. Mutakabbir has used those minutes well, shooting a high percentage from the field, and a very impressive 51.7% from beyond the three-point line. The Ultimate Ball-Hog Award goes to Mutakabbir's teammate, Al'Lonzo Coleman, who somehow comes off the bench, yet uses 36.3% of all possessions, more than The Jimmer himself. While Coleman is undoubtedly president of the Ball-Hog Club, let's give some special recognition to the other players who, despite living outside the national limelight, have managed to dominate the ball more than Mr. Fredette: Special thanks to Keion Bell of Pepperdine, Anatoly Bose of Nicholls State, Brandon Bowdry of Eastern Michigan, Adrian Oliver of San Jose State, and Will Pratt from Northwestern State. You have all out-Jimmered the Jimmer, except for, you know, the winning games thing.

OpenXava 4.2.3 released
XavaPro 5.2 released
February 4, 2015
The OpenXava team is pleased to inform you that a new version of XavaPro is already available.
XavaPro 5.2 has the next new features:
- Multitenancy.
- In mobile UI the list shows only the first 50 elements and loads more on demand.
- Installation instructions simplified.
- Includes OpenXava 5.2.
MultitenancyMultitenancy allows you to deploy an application once and this single application can server several companies at the same time, where each company has access only to its own data. This is perfect for SaaS (Software as a Service), so you can deploy your application in the cloud and rent it to many customers. Also it's very useful for creating multimunicipality applications for public administration. Even if you're not interested in multicompany applications having several isolated datasets allows you do interesting things, such as having a production and testing databases without effort.
To support multitenancy XavaPro 5.2 uses a new concept: Organization. You will find a new module, Organizations, in the Admin folder:
This new module allows creating a new organization just specifying its name and clicking a button:
After cliking on the button "Create new organization", the new organization is ready to be used in the specified URL. The creation process creates a new schema in the database, creates all the application tables and populates the admin tables.
You can go to the company URL (/YourAplication/o/YourCompany) directly or to the application URL (/YourApplication). In the later case the sign in form will ask you for the company with a combo:
Each organization has its own users, passwords, roles and rights, of course.
List elements on demand in mobile UIWhen there are more than 50 elements in the list, a "Load more..." link is shown to load 50 more elements:
Try it yourself:
http://www.openxava.org/XavaPro (User: test, Password: test)
If you want to try the multitenacy support or other admin feature ask for the admin password to the email on bottom of the XavaPro page.

Interesting turn of events. I'm greatly surprised at the level of intelligence from the antagonists(Chrollo) here. The way he pieced all the information was very unusual for an antagonist. Even though he's pretty strong, he doesn't take any chances with himself, or the rest of the Spiders by having everyone travel in groups of 3. When he had Shizuku and Machi use Gyo while slowly advancing toward his enemies, given his strength, it really makes me see how much better HxH is over typical shounen series. Not to mention how he tried to honestly answer Gon's question as to why he kills others.
Also, Kurapika won't use the Chain Jail on Hisoka, simply because he was not a Spider during the Kurata clan's massacre. I wouldn't imagine he'd fight Hisoka at all, unless Hisoka tried to fight him. And I'd doubt Hisoka would, since he's already stated that fighting Kurapika has no interest to him right now.

Hisoka is recognized by the boss as a Spider, the only way I could see him not being a Spider is if it's really someone using Nen to impersonate the clown. That doesn't seem to be the case as the clown has acted exactly the same whether or not he was around the Troupe. Even his inner horny thoughts are the same.
I don't think the fake tattoo means anything. Maybe Hisoka is Jewish.

Killua & Melody shadowing the Phantom Troupe.
The weather conditions and the traffic jam weren't helpful either.
Those guys are not easily fooled.
Kurapika was barely keeping himself in check when they got closer.
He's lucky Gon reasoned with him.
The phantom troupe managed to find out Kurapika's appearance.
That's just bad and very dangerous since it renders his one-on-one fight plan useless.

Actually the moment Kurapika became the main chara it became good for me. He didn't stand out to me till this arc and now he is my favorite character.
Too bad Gon is an MC -_-
Once arks start to focus on him, I start to lose my interest. He is just that boring and frustrating.
This arc is probably the only one where I don't have many issues with him.

Well sucks for Squala. You knew he was dead from pretty early on in this one. I mean make him start looking for another job, show off his girlfriend some more, etc. I give him props for staying quiet even though it didn't really help. Got his dogs out of there because he knew he was dead anyways. Took care of what he could.
Of course now ready for Nobunaga to get killed. Have had enough of that guy.

This look alone speaks volumes. Remember his demeanor in the beginning of the series? Could you have imagined how much he would change from then until this moment?
Of course, this development continues throughout the rest of Gon's arcs. It's coming-of-age. It's puberty. It's masculinity. In essence, Gon's story is one that seems to have been somewhat lost as Shonen started to morph with trends and new ideals and protagonists became tortured, misunderstood souls after Evangelion's success.

Maybe but the main issue I have with Gon starts way back when his fight with Danzo happened.
The guys is simply too stupid and stubborn. What is meant to be admirable becomes a frustrating eyesore because he takes all of it to extreme levels and crosses the line between bravery and idiocy.
As I said back then if Danzo was a cruel person, all he needed to do was to:
a) Kill him and try again next year, with his skills it would not be a problem and Gon would be dead what mean his goals are over.
b) Break every bone in his body. There is no way they would heal and function properly later what means Gon would be disabled and reaching his goals would be almost impossible.
Gon basically dug his own grave.
Danzo was kind enough to give up and let him be but no! Gon had to force him to fight in some other manner. It might sound fair to compete in something that they both can do but... he knew what was coming when he applied for the test. It's his fault for not being strong enough and demanding for others to lower to his level is disgraceful especially when they surrendered when they are clearly superior.
Worst thing, is that no matter how self centered, egoistic and dumb he gets, Gon never has to pay the price. Everything always goes smoothly for him. I'm not gonna say any more since this anime version did not cover the material yet.
But there is this one more scene where I really wanted to slaughter him.
Kurapika was a bit of egoist this week too. Because of his actions Gon and Killua got captured again but what makes Kurapika look good are:
a) He was very emotional for obvious reasons, his whole clan was slaughtered, I'm sure it is hard to control yourself.
b) He admitted his fault.
c) Kurapika actually pays for his faults in one way or another.
Gon barely ever admits his faults nor does he ever pay for his self centered idiocy.
In real world he would be dead long time ago.
EDIT: Lol some Gon fanatic and Kurapika hater got butt hurt
Sorry, but Kurapika never got as lucky as Gong and the reason is...
Spoiler for safety:
Enough said^^
Seriously, Kurapika never got even half close to such luckiness.
And at least Kurapika learns from his mistakes, Gon never dose.

I've heard that argument before, but it's not really about cruelty/kindness so much as it is about pure stupidity. IE: Ninja-guy would have to be stupid to kill him. They're all professionals there, and they all desperately want that license. There is literally no reason for him to continue torturing someone who will never submit. Gon abused a loophole in the rules, no more and no less.

Hisoka had to re-take exam several times because of his cruelty.
I lost count of how many backstabbers are there.
Gon simply got lucky that Danzo was nice. He himself said that he could easily re-take the test next year and kill Gon now.

Just think about it from Danzo's perspective. Why the hell would he want to kill him? What does he get from it? The answer is nothing. Absolutely nothing. He loses the exam and gets nothing. This is not a risky gamble. It's one of the safest bets ever made.

Be it, but did Gon stop at that?
Nope, he demanded for Danzo to lower to his level despite already being a winner.
He is selfish.
Besides if it was not Gon but someone else, Danzo would keep breaking bones. He could easily break few more bones and give up then.
What it would achieve? Final goal wise nothing but at least Gon would feel actual consequences of being an idiot.
Anyway the real thing that bugged me off was not yet aired so I'll stop here.

The only thing one can say in defence of HxH here, is that if one wants a story where the protagonist does not constantly get bailed out by the author, then shounen is not the place to go. Battle shounen protagonists always get bailed out and never face the consequences. If you want to watch a shounen show, then you simply have to accept that, or you'll spend your time hating the protagonist.

Catholic Leader Pleads With Thieves to Return Pope John Paul II Blood Relic
Thieves who stole a reliquary containing blood from Pope John Paul II are being asked by an Italian Roman Catholic Church official to return the item.
Archbishop Giuseppe Petrocchi of L'Aquila stated in a letter sent out earlier this week asking whoever was responsible for stealing the gold container with blood to "give it back."
"I appeal to those who carried out this deplorable act…Give it back," said Petrocchi, reported Reuters.
Scheduled to be canonized as a saint later this year, Pope John Paul II reigned as pontiff for 27 years, dying while in office in 2005. He was succeeded by Pope Benedict XVI.
The reliquary containing the deceased Pontiff's blood likely derived from a garment of clothing Pope John Paul II was wearing in 1981 when he narrowly survived an attempted assassination.
Last weekend, it was reported that the relic was stolen from the Church of San Pietro della Ienca, where it had been located since 2011.
"Italian authorities said they believe the theft was commissioned, as thieves stole only the relic and left many other valuables behind at the church," reported ABC News.
"Only three of John Paul II's relics contain his blood and they are all considered of great religious value."
Italian police and others have speculated that the relic may have been stolen by a group intent on using it for a Satanic ritual.
"It's possible that there could be Satanic sects behind the theft of the reliquary," said Giovanni Panunzio, the national coordinator of Osservatorio Antiplagio, an anti-Occult group. "This period of the year is important in the Satanic calendar and culminates in the Satanic 'new year' on Feb 1. This sort of sacrilege often take place at this time of the year. We hope that the stolen items are recovered as quickly as possible."
The recent theft of the John Paul blood relic is not the first time an item associated with the late Pope has been stolen, according to Nick Squires of the UK Telegraph.
"In Aug 2012, another relic containing a vial of the late Pope's blood was stolen from a Catholic priest while he was travelling on a train north of Rome," wrote Squires. "The relic was in his backpack, which was swiped by thieves but later recovered in a thicket of cane grass by police."

I've had a week of birthday fun. And it is continuing.
Tuesday after writer's group Cindi and Susanne took me to dinner. I didn't get pictures of that but Cindi gave me this wonderful twirler for the patio. (Thank you, friends.)
Friday a package came with these instructions. I was heading out the door so I didn't
get to "savor and enjoy" until later.
Chocolate and nut covered strawberries. Jessica called as I was opening them. She asked how big they are so I put a penny in the photo. They are very big and very yummy.
Thank you, Lydia.
(There's nothing like chocolate covered strawberries for breakfast.)
Saturday my mother's night blooming cirrus started growing blooms. It has never bloomed in the fall before. Actually it has been blooming all summer which is very unusual.
What a better way to spend the day then with a group of writers.
Cindi, again. This time introducing our speaker at the Phoenix Writers Club luncheon.
Laurie Schnebly was our
speaker and she was quite entertaining.
Eileen wore her Halloween costume but I think maybe she was just adding sparkle to my birthday. lol
After the Phoenix Writers Club I stopped by to see another friend promote her SEVEN books.
It was very nice and I came home with one about Ireland.
Very nice, Michele. Thank you.
(You can find Michele Venne's books on Amazon.)
And last, but certainly not least, today my hubby is making his Best in the West baby back ribs with little red potatoes and asparagus. He also baked lemon poppy seed muffins.
When we get a chance we are going shopping for a new lens for my Canon camera.
WooHoo. Being 60 is great!

Peter Cushing delivers one of his finest hand-wringing performances as Emmanuel Hildern, a Victorian man of science who relates a mad tale of horror to his half-brother and professional rival James (Christopher Lee).
His tale begins with the discovery of the weird skeletal remains of a large unknown humanoid in Papua, new Guinea, which he carts back to England for study. Even more unusual than the skeleton's ghastly appearance is its ability to grow new flesh when moistened with water.
Further research reveals that the creature may actually be instilled with the very essence of malevolence (basically freeze-dried, instant evil), indicating that it would be best kept out of the rain.
Despite an incongruous subplot involving the doctor's insane daughter, whom he believes can be cured by injections of serum derived from the creature's reanimated tissue, this is an effectively creepy period piece with heady Gothic atmosphere (and a neat twist ending) that ranks among director Freddie Francis's finest work.
