I think India will surely emerge as winner in test series.....But the ODI series looks to go down the wire.....
Shoaib doubtful for India
By Our Sports Correspondent
LAHORE, Feb 2: Controversial fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar is doubtful starter for Indian tour later this month. Back from Australia due to fitness problem , Shoaib reported to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) on Tuesday night and visited his old friend and doctor Tauseef Razzaq for the treatment on Wednesday.
Mr Tauseef told reporters that Shoaib needed at least four weeks to recover from hamstring problem. "If Shoaib starts playing before this period (four-week) his injury may aggravate," Tauseef said.
Shoaib is also not receiving positive indication from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and he could face an inquiry into the reports about his visiting a night club in Australia and his overall attitude towards the team management.
The PCB chairman, it had been reported, had said that Shoaib would not be the automatic choice for the Indian tour. Surprisingly, Shoaib visited Dr Tauseef who is not on the PCB panel. Tauseef, who was the head of the PCB medical panel during former chairman PCB Lt Gen. Tauqir Zia's tenure had been sacked by the present PCB chairman.
If Akhtar doesn't play then India will probably going to beat Pak 3-0 in the test series, as Gul is already out of the series while Shabbir has very little chances of making it.Originally Posted by dudeurfriend
A bowling lineup comprising of Rana Naveed, Sami, Razzak,Khalil/Asif and Danish simply can't bowl out India twice.
Akhtar's absence will be disaster for Pakistan.
Irfan Pathan will destroy the Pakistanis, he is the best up and coming young fast-ish bowler

HI Guys, this is my first post here.
India Vs. Pakistan.
So this is how it goes for me. Pakistan is coming in india almost after a 8 years. So the series is supposed to be cracker. 3 Tests and 5 ODIs is a good format, Rather decisive. I hope Sachin will get fit for the series. So does Shoeib.
Indians are out of match practice, i hope they'll come back well. Venues are a bit problematic.
1)Mohali:- Fair, long time no test there. So its a fair venue, hard pitch, lush green outfield, great ground. (Lucky for Sehvag)
2)Ahmedabad:-Problems. Nothing pitch. No team will be able to get 20 wickets, possibly a venue where matches ended as draw.
3)Banglore/Kanpur:-(I am not confirmed about the 3rd one) But both gound hosted a test recently, (one vs SA and other vs AUS) so why give them another match, why not Kolkata, or Dehli?
If Akhtar doesn't play in the tests, I'll be quietly confident that India will come out on top fairly comfortably. They need an all-out strike bowler in the tests. ODIs they can get away with their current bowling line-up due to their long and quite strong batting line-up who when on song can destroy any opposition. If Afridi and Razzaq can put away McGrath, Gillespie and Kaspa, they will definitely be a danger against our ODI bowlers.
Should be a great series.

I know I'm wondering about the same thing. I went to their website and found nothing. It would be a pity if they didnt show a series like this one.Originally Posted by adharcric
That might be a blessing in disguise for Pakistan. Indian batsmen will take them too lightly and will get a shocking to find out how these bowlers greatly improved on the Australian tour.Originally Posted by Choora
My predictions: 2-1 for India in the tests... and 3-2 for Pakistan in the ODIs. This will definetely be a great series. I can't wait. May the best team win.
I think Balaji, if he can get into the kind of form he was right before his injury in September, poses a big threat to the Pakistanis and has always been underestimated as a bowler. It aint easy to forget his performance in the last test versus Pak and so I hope he'll do well in the Challenger Series that's coming up.Originally Posted by 12th Man

When Sirena Irwin got the phone call saying that she'd won the role of Lucille Ball in "I Love Lucy Live On Stage," her first reaction wasn't exactly what you'd expect. She said, "Are you sure you want me for this?"
When Sirena Irwin got the phone call saying that she'd won the role of Lucille Ball in "I Love Lucy Live On Stage," her first reaction wasn't exactly what you'd expect. She said, "Are you sure you want me for this?"
Irwin was having a hard time envisioning the show, which brings audiences inside the filming of two classic episodes of Ball's legendary 1950s sitcom, "I Love Lucy."
It seemed to Irwin that fans would want an exact replica, and she asked the director, Rick Sparks, if he considered casting a Lucy impersonator. But Sparks said he wanted an actress who could inhabit the role.
Even as Irwin threw herself into the daunting task of playing a comic legend, she wondered if audiences would pay good money to see something on stage that they could watch for free on TV. She got her answer when the show debuted at the Greenway Court Theatre in Los Angeles, where it was soon hotter than Lakers tickets. That was followed by a six-month, sold-out stint in Chicago, and now it arrives at the Colonial Theatre in Boston for a three-week run, Dec. 4 to 20.
It turns out we still love "Lucy."
Asked if anyone ever said that she looks like Lucille Ball, Irwin says no, but then tells a story that might convince you she was mystically fated to play this role.
She says she was in an acting class with a woman named Paula Stewart, and one day Stewart asked Irwin if she ever watched episodes of "I Love Lucy." Irwin confessed that she hadn't, and Stewart said, "You remind so much of Lucy."
"It turned out that she and Lucy were close friends," says Irwin. "She invited me over to her house and gave me tapes of the 'Lucy' shows. That was the beginning of my Lucy education. And it was about a month later that I got a call to audition for the role of Lucy."
And the education – which Irwin likes to call her "Ph.D. in comedy" – continues. Irwin gushes over Ball, describing the "honor," "responsibility" and "thrill" of playing a woman who was a pioneer in so many ways.
Irwin may be awed by Ball the legend, but she's moved by Ball the actress. Before immersing herself in Ball's work, Irwin thought of the comedienne's shtick as "over-the-top and goofy," she says. "But it quickly became apparent to me that her performances were actually very grounded. Lucille Ball, as an actress, kept her performances very real. Lucy Ricardo is not a flighty character; she's strong and centered. I think about that a lot when I'm performing. She's a person who believes she's worthy of her dream – to be in Ricky's show [at the Tropicana club]. And the only thing that trumps that dream is her love of her husband."
Audiences that attend "I Love Lucy Live On Stage" will be taken back in time to the 1950s set on which the landmark comedy was performed. They'll watch the creation of two episodes, complete with an emcee, live commercials, a seven-piece orchestra, and of course the cast – Lucy, Ricky (Bill Mendieta), Fred (Kevin Remington) and Ethel (Joanna Daniels).
When you hear the phrase "two classic episodes" of "Lucy," your mind may jump to Lucy's comic attempts to pitch Vitameatavegamin, or Lucy's unique way of coping with a conveyor belt that was delivering chocolates too quickly – she started stuffing the treats in her mouth.
But the writers and producers chose two other episodes, in part, because they wanted shows that featured the quartet of characters at the heart of "I Love Lucy." In "The Benefit," Lucy is excited to perform with Ricky's band, but when she sees that Ricky has given her a marginal role, she plots to make it bigger. In "Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined," her dilated pupils cause comic consequences when she hits the dance floor.
In the stage show, the audience watches Irwin play Lucille Ball playing Lucy Ricardo (if you can follow that). There are brief moments when Ball is out of character, between takes, but mostly audiences see Ball's zany alter ego, Lucy the performer. That's in part because the producers of "I Love Lucy Live On Stage" secured the rights to use any of the 193 episodes of the show, but they don't have the rights to tell the story of Ball's life.
That leaves out a lot of rich material, a fascinating Hollywood story about a pioneering woman who was not only a beloved performer in front of the camera, but a driven, career-focused mogul behind it. Her eventful life included her dynamic relationship with husband Desi Arnaz, as they founded Desilu Studios, home of shows such as "Star Trek" and "The Untouchables." Meanwhile, her landmark TV series was developing techniques that are still used by sitcoms today.
It's enough material for a stage sequel. And Irwin's ready.
"Oh, yes, I'd love to get an opportunity like that," she says, pondering the chance to tell Ball's life story on stage. "She was such a complex human being, a talent and a fighter."
And fans would probably eat it up. As she peers out into the audience at the end of the evening, Irwin often sees the audience's deep affection for Lucy.
"There's no question that this show is a feel-good romp, a Valentine to Lucy," says Irwin. "But I'm also surprised at how many people get emotional about the show. People often tell me about difficulties, or health problems, that they went through, and how Lucy's show transported them away from those troubles for a while. During the curtain call, I sometimes see people crying. Lucy touched so many people."

Oman has started exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Japan's Osaka Gas Co. under a 25-year contract signed in 1998 for an annual 700,000 tons, Oman LNG announced Monday.
"The loading of this first cargo (on Sunday) to Osaka Gas has been achieved exactly as planned and on time," the company's chief executive Graham Searle said, quoted in the Oman Observer.
The paper said the consignment of 135,000 cubic meters (4.725 million cubic feet) of LNG was expected to reach Osaka in 12 days.
Osaka Gas is one of three long-term clients of Oman LNG.
Exports to India's Dabhol Power Co. under another long-term contract are due to begin next year, while exports of spot cargoes have already started to customers in the United States and Spain.
Oman LNG is expected to break even this year and pay dividends from 2001, according to the chief executive.
The very first cargo of 135,000 cubic meters (4.725 million cubic feet), bound for the Korea Gas Corporation (Kogas), was loaded at the Gulf terminal of Qalhat, south of the Omani capital, on April 6.
Oman LNG signed a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with Kogas in October 1996 to supply 4.1 million tons per annum for 25 years.
Qalhat's production capacity is put at 6.6 million tons a year and the project cost around 2.6 billion dollars.
The government owns 51 percent of Oman LNG, the Anglo-Dutch giant Royal Dutch Shell holds 30 percent, the Franco-Belgian TotalFinaElf 5.54 percent, Korea LNG five percent, Partex of Portugal two percent, and Japan's Mitsui, Mitsubishi and Itochu the rest.
Oil Minister Mohammad bin Hamad al-Romhi has put Oman's proven gas reserves at 660 million cubic meters (22 trillion cubic feet), with potential reserves more than double that figure -- MUSCAT (AFP)

At the height of fighting during the Korean War in 1950, American troops faced artillery barrages, bitter winter cold, and massive human waves of Communist troops.
But they had a secret weapon: aircraft overhead that could slam enemy forces.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the commander of U.S. forces at the time, said the close air support had "perhaps never been equaled in the history of modern war."
If a serious ground war (however unlikely) did break out on the Korean peninsula again, the Hermit Kingdom would be facing an even more deadly American opponent.
Closely following the air war, the ground element would sweep north — working in tandem with those same air assets.
The use of close air support — aircraft that directly support troops on the ground — goes all the way back to World War I, but it's gotten much better since then. We spoke with a number of combat veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq and asked them what they would like to see when the fighting starts.

The Missouri Guide Dog User's (MGDU) is a unique organization supporting all guide dog teams throughout Missouri. Several of our members use highly trained guide dogs as their main source of navigation. Friends and supporters of these amazing service dogs are valuable members of MGDU as well.
A cornerstone of this organization is the strong support and comradeship members offer each other in various activities a guide dog team encounters. This ranges from a variety of working methods, health issues, guide dog schools, retirement of a guide dog and many other topics concerning the world of service dogs and handler's.
Missouri Guide Dog Users is a proud affiliate of the Missouri Council of the Blind. MGDU has been in existence for over 14 years.
MGDU actively supports Missouri guide dog teams. Our strength lies in access issues and advocating for the accommodations in place since 1991 and revised in 2011. The laws and regulations are stated under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which is under the Department of Justice (DOJ). We strive to keep our members updated to any changes or revisions in state or federal laws concerning access issues for service dogs.
In 1998, MGDU was formed by eight guide dog handlers, primarily residing in the Joplin, Missouri area. These founders were graduates of The Seeing Eye, Inc., located in Morristown, New Jersey, and Pilot Dogs, Inc., located in Columbus, Ohio. The creators of MGDU felt the need to reach out to other Missouri guide dog teams, organizing a group that would empower and enrich each other's lives. This would provide comradeship, information and resources for guide dog users across the Show Me state.
Anyone interested in supporting and contributing to the welfare of guide dog teams, is welcome to become a member. You do not have to use a guide dog to join MGDU. If you are interested in learning how a service dog and handler work together as a team, MGDU is the right place to be. We are a friendly organization for you to gain knowledge directly from active guide dog users.
Many of our members are happy to give presentations to schools, organizations, and various clubs, demonstrating how a handler and guide dog work as a team and explaining the communication, hand and voice commands as they navigate in public areas, describing various methods of transportation and how guide dogs adapt to and guide their handlers in the workplace. MGDU members can share in detail the amazing work a team can successfully accomplish together.
When you become a member of MGDU, you are eligible for the following benefits.
- Monetary support for handlers whose dogs require veterinary services.
- Provides harnesses to handlers when needed.
- A quarterly magazine called, "Tails Across Missouri"
The magazine, "Tails Across Missouri" is filled with wonderful stories contributed by members and friends, sharing the many experiences they have encountered with their guide dogs. Tributes and loving memories to honor the life and, companionship and work of our beautiful four legged furry friends are included. Information and updates of laws, rules and regulations concerning access, air travel and other accommodations for service dogs and handlers, are just some of the articles in the magazine.
Missouri Guide Dog Users holds a meeting every three months. All members may participate as the meetings are by telephone conference call.
An exciting addition and soon to be released, is MGDU's own website. It will contain pictures of adventures, dog and handler at work and play, as well as other fun photos giving you an insight into the daily lives of our hard working dogs. Information on upcoming projects and events will be listed. Membership dues and contact information will be available on MGDU's web page.
MGDU is a 501C3 tax deductible organization. If you wish to make a donation to the mission of MGDU, the information is provided as well. You can see and track the progress of our organization by visiting our website often.
The MGDU Constitution and Bylaws are available by clicking on the following link: MGDU Constitution and Bylaws 05-09-2018.pdf
Whether this is your first, second, third or more guide dog, or if you would like to be involved in the world of service dogs, we invite you to join Missouri Guide Dog User's. We will be sharing information with each other while keeping informed and up to date on service dog issues. This enhances our lives as we trail across Missouri with our guide dogs enjoying the freedom and independence which they provide.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 14 (UPI) -- Men who suffered from lifelong premature ejaculation can be treated by pelvic floor exercises over a 12-week period.
Study leader Dr. Antonio Pastore of the Sapienza University of Rome said the study involved a group of 40 men ages 19 to 46 who had premature ejaculation -- defined as "ejaculation within a minute," who had tried a variety of therapies, without any significant improvement.
During the 12-week study period, the men were trained to exercise their pelvic floor muscles and their time-to-orgasm was measured.
The study, presented at the European Congress of Urology in Stockholm, found at the start of the trial the average ejaculation time was 31.7 seconds, but by the end of the 12-weeks of pelvic floor exercises this had risen to 146.2 seconds -- a more than four-fold increase.
This is a small study, so the effects need to be verified in a bigger trial. Nevertheless, the results are very positive. The rehabilitation exercises are easy to perform, with no reported adverse effects," Pastore said in a statement.
"Previously the men in the trial had tried a variety of treatments, including creams, behavioral therapy, antidepressants and psychological treatments -- with little success. However, we found that 33 of the 40 men in our trial improved their ejaculation time within 12 weeks. We also found that the fact that the men were able to improve their sex-lives through their own efforts helped their self-confidence."

Amazon's Availability Zones are a fabulous new feature that allows users to assign instances to locations that are fault-tolerant from one another yet that have high bandwidth between each other. I wish I could have done something like that as easily when I was responsible for operations at Citrix Online and we had five datacenters worldwide. As I'll explain in this post, what Amazon actually provides us is much better than just putting servers into multiple data centers.
The most confusing thing about Availability Zones is the name. In the cloud, what exactly is an "Availability Zone"? The easiest way to think about it is that a zone equals a data center. If power goes out in one data center and the generators fail to start (naah, that never happens) then it doesn't affect the other data center. Or if there's a fire, one data center may burn out or be otherwise incapacitated, but others are unaffected. In reality zones don't necessarily correspond to data centers. Given careful engineering, it's possible to have multiple "rooms" in a data center that are highly failure-isolated while technically still being part of the same data center; imagine football-sized fields here.
The point of Availability Zones is the following: If I launch a server in zone A and a second server in zone B, then the probability that both go down at the same time due to an external event is extremely small. This simple property allows us to construct highly reliable web services by placing servers into multiple zones such that the failure of one zone doesn't disrupt the service, or at the very least, allows us to rapidly reconstruct the service in the second zone.
The one caveat to consider when using multiple zones is that there is no free lunch. First of all there's the speed of light. The zones Amazon is exposing are all on the East Coast (indicated by the names, such as "us-east-1a"). I don't have inside information about the location of their facilities, but I imagine some may be in New York and others may be in Virginia, so the distance between zones may be considerable, thus translating into some network latency. And even if the actual facilities used by EC2 today are not that far apart, they may be someday in the future.
The second gotcha is that bandwidth across zone boundaries is not free. Amazon is charging $0.01/GB for what it calls "regional" traffic. This is less than 1/10th the cost of Internet traffic, which seems perfectly reasonable to me. In the days where I was managing multiple data centers, the cost of traffic between them was essentially the same as the cost of random Internet traffic. Actually, it cost twice as much: once to exit one data center and once to enter the other. (Granted, at high volume one can do interesting things to save some money, but it doesn't become free by a long shot.)
An Example
Let's see how a simple redundant website looks with Availability Zones and elastic IPs. At the core we'll have two web servers with Apache and PHP running the web application and accessing the master database. All this occurs in one zone. We'll allocate two elastic IP addresses that we assign to the two web servers and then create a round-robin DNS entry for our website that maps the domain name to the two IP addresses.
To ensure the survival of the data in the case of a massive failure, we start a slave database in a second Availability Zone and replicate the data in real time. This is how we've set up all our customers to date, except that up until now we haven't been able to specify the placement of the slave with respect to the master. In the RightScale Dashboard the zone of each server is shown and at server launch time one can select the desired zone.
Now suppose the zone with the web servers and database fails due to a fire. After receiving an alert, we first promote the slave in the second zone to master using the RightScale Manager for MySQL automation. We then launch fresh web/app servers in the same zone as the slave database. Once the promotion completes and the two new servers are up, it is a simple matter of reassigning the elastic IPs to the two new servers to redirect all the users to the new servers, and we're up and running again.
The next step is to recreate the redundancy. For this the third Availability Zone that each account has access to comes into play. We start a fresh database slave in the third zone, again using the automation in the Manager for MySQL. Once that comes up and starts replicating we are back to having a redundant setup.
If you have never tried to set something like this up yourself – renting colo space, purchasing bandwidth, buying and installing servers – you really can't appreciate the amount of capital expense, time, headache, and ongoing expense saved by EC2's features. And best of all, using RightScale, it's just a couple of clicks away :-).
Beyond the Simple Redundant Setup
You probably noticed that the site described above would go down if there was a failure in the primary zone, which would require a manual restarting of new servers to bring it back up. Some of this can be easily remedied by placing one or multiple web servers into the secondary zone and having them talk to the master DB across the zone boundary. The performance of these servers may be slightly lower due to the inter-zone latency, and there is some cost to the database access traffic. It's somewhat application-dependent how these play out.
A more sophisticated setup uses load balancers to reduce the impact of the cross-site traffic. The idea is to place one load balancer instance in each zone and route the requests primarily to a set of redundant web/app servers in the primary zone, as shown in the figure below. A third app server can be running in the secondary zone and perhaps get a trickle of traffic from the load balancers just to keep it "warm." Keeping it warm makes it easy to monitor and ensure that it's operating properly.
The good thing about this setup is that the traffic shipped across the zone boundary is exactly the same as comes into the second load balancer. This means that for half the total Internet traffic there is a $0.01/GB surcharge, which results in less than 5% extra cost overall. (This is not counting the DB replication traffic.) Also, the extra latency from one zone to the other is negligible when compared to the already incurred Internet latency.
In the case of a primary zone failure, browsers will fail over to the load balancer in the remaining zone; this is a feature built into web browsers related to the round-robin DNS setup. The load balancer will direct all traffic to the third web/app server. At that point the secondary database needs to be promoted to master and the third app server repointed to that database and everything will be back up and running. With automation the DB promotion could be done automatically, but it's better to be conservative; a promotion due to a false alert could cause a lot of harm.
This second setup is a bit more complicated than the previous one, but it requires less machinery and no server launches in the case of a failure. It also requires one extra machine if one assumes that each load balancer can run on the same instance as a web/app server (typically not a problem). Many more variants on this basic setup are clearly possible and should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
It's mind-boggling how much power Amazon is giving us in designing sophisticated distributed redundant Internet services! In combination, the Availability Zones, the elastic IPs, and the overall programmatic control over all the resources make the cloud a superior environment for deploying sophisticated Internet services. At RightScale we're hard at work to incorporate the new features into our standard deployment templates so all of our customers can take advantage of the new features in their deployments. We're also automating a number of the failure scenarios so that you don't need to have an alert wake you up if there a fire at Amazon in the middle of the night.

60 Minutes report allowed surgeon general to attribute high U.S. prescription drug prices to R&D costs
In a lengthy segment on the high cost of prescription drugs in the United States, CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon asked, "Americans pay more for brand name prescriptions than anyone else in the world. Why?" But instead of presenting information on the various factors that contribute to high prescription drug prices, Simon offered the Bush administration and pharmaceutical industry line: "Well, the drug companies and the government say we have to so the companies can keep developing new drugs." During the segment, Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona claimed that high U.S. prescription drug prices fund "the research and development of drugs."
But large profit margins and marketing budgets indicate that drug companies could reduce prices without cutting into research and development money. In fact, pharmaceutical companies devote nearly as much money to marketing as to research and development. In its story, 60 Minutes mentioned neither the pharmaceutical industry's profit margins nor the vast sums they spend on marketing.
Moreover, in presenting only Carmona's and the administration's response to why drugs are cheaper abroad, the 60 Minutes segment omitted a key factor: Prescription drugs are cheaper in Canada and many European countries because those governments negotiate lower prices, as The New York Times reported on November 16, 2003. "The American manufacturers submit to these discounts because pills are cheap to make, so even sales at significantly reduced prices are profitable," the Times continued. But in the U.S., consumers "pay high prices because nobody is negotiating on their behalf on a national scale."
President Bush and congressional Republicans moved the United States further from government-negotiated lower prices with 2003 Medicare legislation that made it illegal for Medicare to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices, even though the Department of Veterans Affairs saved nearly $100 million over two years as a result of negotiating lower drug costs, according to a 2000 National Academy of Sciences report.
Since 1982, "Fortune magazine has consistently ranked the drug industry at or near the top of its charts with respect to revenue and return on equity," as the San Francisco Chronicle has noted. According to the magazine's Fortune 500 rankings published in April 2002, the pharmaceuticals industry was by far the most profitable in 2001, topping the other 47 listed industries -- whether profit is measured as a percentage of revenues, assets or of shareholders' equity. As a percentage of revenues, for example, the pharmaceutical industry's profit was 18.5 percent of revenues, about six times the Fortune 500 median of 3.3 percent. Commercial banks came in second with profits measuring 13.5 percent of revenues. In 2002 and 2003, the pharmaceuticals industry continued to rank in the top four in each category, with profits well above that of the Fortune 500 median. In 2002, profits were 17.0 percent of revenues; the median was 3.1 percent. In 2003, profits were 14.3 percent of revenues, compared with a median of 4.6 percent.
While drug companies spent $33.2 billion on research and development in 2003, they spent three-fourths of that amount -- $25.3 billion -- on advertising ["Prescription Drug Trends," Kaiser Family Foundation, October 2004]. Further, according to another Kaiser study: "Over the decade between 1989 and 1998, the 10 largest pharmaceutical manufacturers spent about 11% of their total sales on research and development. ... At the same time, net profits before taxes amounted to about 23% of total sales" [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 4/1/01]. In 2003, R&D totaled 17.7 percent of sales while profits were 14.3 percent of sales.
From the June 5 edition of CBS's 60 Minutes:
SIMON: If you think you're paying a lot for prescription drugs, you're right. Drug prices have been rising faster than inflation, and Americans pay more for brand name prescription drugs than anyone else in the world. Why? Well, the drug companies and the government say we have to so the companies can keep developing new drugs. But that's no consolation to the tens of millions of elderly an uninsured who can't afford to pay for the drugs they need. You're about to meet a man who thinks he has a solution to the problem. His name is Dr. Peter Rost, and he's a critic of the way drugs are priced and sold in the United States. He also happens to be a vice president of marketing for the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. He's taken a risky and possibly career-shattering step of opposing his own employer and the rest of the drug industry by saying America can have cheaper drugs if we set up a system like they have in Europe.
SIMON: Why are drugs so much more expensive in the United States than they are in almost any other country?
CARMONA: The United States does the lion's share of the research in the world, the research and development of drugs. So it's why the Canadian government sells it cheaper, they don't have the overhead.
SIMON: The surgeon general's task force report agrees with the pharmaceutical companies that, if they lower their prices, they'll spend less on creating new drugs on R&D. Peter Rost doesn't buy that argument; he says drug companies won't cut back on research and development because it's their bread and butter; they have to develop new drugs or they won't have anything to sell when the patents on their existing drugs expire. He recently testified before a Senate committee urging Congress to pass a bill legalizing the importation of cheaper drugs from overseas, even though his own employer is against it.

When you have over 30 birthday cakes, you've got to do something with the leftovers. And you can only eat so much Birthday Cake French Toast.
Having found myself in such a situation following my recent 30th birthday party, I decided to get creative with the leftovers. Naturally, on the list was employing a trusted bread pudding recipe, but swapping leftover birthday cake for the called-for carbohydrate.
This makes for a deliciously buttery, buttercream-studded variety of bread pudding, soft and sweet in the middle, and punctuated by sweet, crunchy bits of frosting on top, which reached a semi-caramelized state during the baking process. Happy post-birthday, indeed.

With the disappointing lack of announcements at Comic-Con 2010 from the DC Entertainment side of Warner Bros., we currently sit with only three confirmed major DC characters getting their own new solo films. There's next year's introduction of Green Lantern, Christopher Nolan's Batman 3 and of course, the reboot of the Superman franchise.
Two of these three franchises already have an actor starring as the title character and we await news on who may play the next Clark Kent. According to our friends at Think Mcfly Think, one candidate for the gig is fan-favorite Jon Hamm of Mad Men fame.
TMT's source claims that Warner Bros. has "seriously considered" Hamm for the role but the actor is 39 years of age, a tough sell if they want to make a franchise out of this (which they do).
Previously rumored as a candidate for Green Lantern and popular online for his humorous portrayal of Superman's arch-nemesis in the Funny or Die skit (shown below), Hamm in my mind would be a solid choice to play the new Clark Kent... if he were at least a decade younger.
Superman will be produced by Christopher Nolan and likely directed by his brother Jonathan. Previously rumored candidate for the title role is Zachary Levi (Chuck) who auditioned for the part.
Superman/The Man of Steel is set to debut Christmas season of 2012 with Batman 3 opening earlier that year on July 20th.

Their self-released debut Le Funk found some success on the charts, but the band became better known in the wake of their 2004 release Night on Fire. In early 2007, after two and half years of touring, the band made the trek to Asheville, NC to record 2007's Bring on the Comets. Released in August 2007 Bring On The Comets marked a slight change in direction towards a more straightforward pop sound; all this was achieved without sacrificing the band's trademark dance sensibility.

The video above is a compilation of every Top Of/Best Of The Super Juniors tournament final, from 1988 to 2009. Before watching this, I was familiar with a handful of the matches; regardless, I was gobsmacked throughout the entire 12:58 of this vid. My favorite? The El Samurai/Koji Kanemoto match, which you can find at the 2:57 mark. The shit they were doing was insane.
This comp also contains footage of Chris Benoit (as Wild Pegasus) winning two of the tournaments. This is the first time I've been able to watch anything Benoit-related without wincing. Look closely, and you'll see other gaijin talent, like Fit Finlay, Scorpio, Dean Malenko, and Eddie Guerrero. Actually, you won't have to look too hard for Eddie...that's him beating Jushin Liger as Black Tiger in 1996 (at the 2:19 mark).
The 2010 edition is only days away, and among the participants is Winnipegger Kenny Omega. His tag team partner, Kota Ibushi, is also a participant. As opponents, they're no strangers to each other. Guaranteed, there won't be any "going outside" shit in the tournament.
Bonus stuff: watch the 2009 final between Kanemoto and Prince Devitt. It's amazing. Adam and Mike of F4W's Big Audio Nightmare figure Devitt will probably win this thing. I'm inclined to agree, as Devitt has been shut out of the tournament two years in a row due to injury, only to lose in the match above. It may be logical to give him the rub here. Part of me wants Davey Richards to win. That dude is a serious bad-ass.
More bonus stuff: I'm a big fan of the Tumblr blog FUCK YEAH WRESTLING! (I'm not yelling...that's their name.) Random articles, photos, and videos – all wrestling. I'm happy to have contributed some items to the site.

Axonal and GabapentinPatientsVille
Axonal Symptoms and Causes
Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral nerve disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
There are more than 100 kinds of peripheral nerve disorders. They can affect one nerve or many nerves. Some are the result of other diseases, like diabetic nerve problems. Others, like Guillain-Barre syndrome, happen after a virus infection. Still others are from nerve compression, like carpal tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome. In some cases, like complex regional pain syndrome and brachial plexus injuries, the problem begins after an injury. Some people are born with peripheral nerve disorders.
Symptoms often start gradually, and then get worse. They include
Treatment aims to treat any underlying problem, reduce pain and control symptoms.

The study examined the portfolios of 93 major banks and found that coal financing supplied by those institutions to the coal industry totaled 232 billion euros $309.4 billion since 2005 when the Kyoto Protocol came into force.
If banks provide money for these projects, they will wreck all attempts to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, said Heffa Schuecking of environmental think tank urgewald who worked on the report.
The Kyoto pact was set up to reduce greenhouse gases emitted by developed countries by an average of 5.2 percent below 1990 levels during the fiveyear period up to 2012.
At the same time many countries still invest in coalfired plants, especially India and China, to supply their growing economies.
Among the top 20 banks listed in the report are institutions from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, China, Italy and Japan.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick signed the proposed bill banning "upskirting" into law Friday morning.
State lawmakers unanimously passed the bill on Thursday after Massachusetts' highest court made a stunning ruling on Wednesday.
The Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the act of secretly taking photos up a woman's skirt in public was not part of the state's 2004 "Peeping Tom" law when they dismissed the charges against an Andover, Mass. man for an "upskirting" incident on the MBTA's Green Line in Boston.
"For me, this is going backwards, like when your husband could beat you and beat your children. That was okay. Well, we've changed," Massachusetts Senate President Therese Murray told NECN Thursday.
The new law makes upskirting a misdemeanor offense and it will be effective immediately.

Concrete House With Industrial Features on the Beach by BAK Architects
BAK Architects designed this volumetric house with industrial features close the beach of a tranquil seaside village, in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Only a few meters away of the sandy dunes, the construction was strategically placed to offer a relaxing living experience, away from the ordinary. With the sea on one side and a strip of forest on the other, there's nothing to distract you from enjoying the nature's wonders. There are no buildings around, only small vegetation, acacias and sand. Elevated above the natural line of the plot, the structure frames some of the most amazing views of the sea's emerald water.
The owners, a young couple with three children asked for a spacious house made of concrete. Their choice in terms of materials has a practical reasoning (low maintenance). Also, they confessed that they loved the raw, almost unfinished appearance of all those other residential projects designed by the team of architects. Their house had to be divided in two different living units, one for the family and one for the guests. With a minimum intervention in the landscape, the team found a solution in reaching, visually, the sea. The main floor, right above the street level, features a living room with integrated kitchen, a wooden deck and two bedrooms (for the children). The top floor of the house accommodates a generously lit master bedroom (with impressive vistas) and a large terrace.

Charlton Gothic Romance Comic Story - "Sleep, My Love..." Haunted Love #6 (October 1974)
Happy Halloween, everyone! Since Friday's Gothic romance story was such a hit, I thought I would post another! For a Halloween evening treat, I present "Sleep, My Love..." from Charlton's Haunted Love #6 (October 1974). As per the splash page, the story was edited by George Wildman, written by Joe Gill, and rendered (cover as well) by Tom Sutton.
Our story takes place in Paris in 1906. The young and handsome Dr. Henri Duval has just set up practice and makes a house call to his first patient -- an elderly Madame Maleure who resides in a crumbling mansion. The resilient Madame is taken care of by a beautiful young woman, Madeleine Beauvois.
During his examination of the frail woman, the Madame requests that he send Madeleine out of the room so they can speak privately. While Madeleine fetches fresh water, Madame Maleure tells Henri that Madeleine is so stressed out over taking care of her that the young woman stays awake day and night. The doctor and the elderly woman come to the conclusion that a tonic laced with a sleeping potion will be best for Madeleine.
Henri checks in on his elderly patient twice a week. While there on a visit one day, he finally decides to ask Madeleine out for dinner which greatly pleases Madame Maleure. The two fall in love, which pleases the old woman even more.
While out with the doctor, the old woman sneaks into Madeleine's bedroom and pours an extra sleeping aid into the prescribed tonic. That night after sipping the medicine, Madeleine falls into a deep sleep. Taking advantage of Madeleine's vulnerable state, the old woman casts a spell on her and infiltrates her body -- transforming her into the young and beautiful Madeleine.
The old Madame wastes no time, and heads out into the Paris night. Just as dawn breaks, she heads back -- in time to leave Madeleine's waking body. When Madeleine wakes, she doesn't feel quite right... and rightfully so!
While serving Madame Maleure her breakfast that morning, Madeleine is noticeably exhausted. The old woman suggests that she take a swig of the tonic and take a nap after lunch. Madeleine heeds her advice and falls into another coma-like sleep, giving Madame Maleure another chance to inhabit the young woman's body. But this time, instead of strolling the streets of Paris alone, the Madame takes Madeleine's body out on a date with Henri -- the next step in her ultimate evil plan.
Suddenly, Madeleine awakens -- much to her surprise. The last thing she remembers was going down for a nap. Henri chalks the strange occurrence up to a bad reaction to the tonic and advises Madeleine to stop taking it.
That night, Madeleine forgoes the tonic as recommended. Madame Maleure obviously has a problem as she is unable to penetrate Madeleine's body for her own use. But the old witch isn't willing to give up...
"I've learned what I must do to remain eternally young... if I can assume Madeleine's identity while she sleeps... and if my own body dies while I possess her youth I will be young again!
The next day during tea time, Madame Maleure pours a potion into Madeleine's drink to pursue her goal of eternal youth and beauty. The unsuspecting young woman falls asleep. But she is not the only one to rest... the Madame has given herself a lethal dosage so that her transformation may be achieved.
Feeling that Madeleine is in danger, Henri bursts on the scene. He attempts to save the old woman with all of his being.
Henri revives the old woman's body which causes the essence of Madeleine to assume her own youthful body once more. Henri explains to a baffled Madeleine that he had a feeling that evil was afoot. Together, the two young lovers leave the house of horrors and the devious witch inside... forever!
So, what do you think? How does "Sleep, My Love..." stack up to the DC Gothic romance stories in your opinion? Here's to hoping you and yours have a wonderful and spooky Halloween!

There are moments during the short span of this video that you might find yourself thinking, "Those puppies are dead — this is horrible." Then one of them twitches its little snout and you're all, "Whew, that was close." Then the puppies are sarcophagus-still again and you think maybe you imagined that snout-twitch. It can get pretty stressful, so maybe have a drink before you watch it. It's fine because it's Sunday.

Included document last updated 9/27/2019
*The Following Nebraska and Sarpy County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Real Estate Transfer
Any grantee, or grantees authorized representative, who wishes to record a deed to real property must file Form 521. Land contracts, memoranda of contract, and death certificates being recorded pursuant to a transfer on death deed require a completed Form 521, which are not subject to the documentary stamp tax until the deed is presented for recording. Form 521 must be filed with the register of deeds when a deed, land contract, memorandum of contract, or a death certificate being recorded pursuant to a transfer on death deed is presented for recording.
Documentary Stamp Tax Exemption
All transfers of beneficial interest in or legal title to real property are subject to Documentary Stamp Tax based upon the value of the real estate transferred. The tax is due at the time the deed is offered for recording unless specifically exempt under one of the exemptions listed on this page.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
Gifts of Real Property in Nebraska
A gift deed, or deed of gift, is a legal document voluntarily transferring title to real property from one party (the grantor or donor) to another (the grantee or donee). A gift deed typically transfers real property between family or close friends. Gift deeds are also used to donate to a non-profit organization or charity. The deed serves as proof that the transfer is indeed a gift and without consideration (any conditions or form of compensation).
Valid deeds must meet the following requirements: The grantor must intend to make a present gift of the property, the grantor must deliver the property to the grantee, and the grantee must accept the gift. Gift deeds must contain language that explicitly states no consideration is expected or required, because any ambiguity or reference to consideration can make the deed contestable in court. A promise to transfer ownership in the future is not a gift, and any deed that does not immediately transfer the interest in the property, or meet any of the aforementioned requirements, can be revoked [1].
A lawful gift deed must also include the grantor's full name and marital status, as well as the grantee's full name, marital status, mailing address, and vesting. Vesting describes how the grantee holds title to the property. For Nebraska residential property, the primary methods for holding title are tenancy in common and joint tenancy. A grant of ownership of real estate to two or more persons is presumed to create a tenancy in common, unless a joint tenancy is expressly stated (Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-118).
As with any conveyance of real estate, a gift deed requires a complete legal description of the parcel. Recite the source of title to establish a clear chain of title, and detail any restrictions associated with the property. A Real Estate Transfer Statement Form 521 must accompany documents to be recorded (Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-214). Record the completed deed at the local Register of Deeds office.
All transfers of real property are subject to a documentary stamp tax. The tax is due at the time of recording. If the transfer is exempt under Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-902, note the reason on the face of the deed and fill out a certificate of exemption.
The IRS levies a Federal Gift Tax on any transfer of property from one individual to another with no consideration, or consideration that is less than the full market value. Gifts of real property in Nebraska are subject to this federal gift tax, but there is no associated tax for the state. In accordance with federal law, individuals are permitted an annual exclusion of $15,000 on gifts. This means that gifts valued below $15,000 do not require a federal gift tax return (Form 709). Even so, grantors should consider filing one for many gifts of real property [2].
The grantor is responsible for paying the federal gift tax; however, if the grantor does not pay the gift tax, the grantee will be held liable [1]. With gifts of real property, the recipient of the gift (grantee) is not required to declare the amount of the gift as income, but if the property accrues income after the transaction, the recipient is responsible for paying the requisite state and federal income taxes [3].

Contact a lawyer with any questions about gift deeds or other issues related to the transfer of real property. For questions regarding federal and state taxation laws, consult a tax specialist.

Review: Good site. Two things to note. 1. The Documentary Transfer Tax Exemption sheet, the word "computer" is used when I think it should be "computed" Error in state form? 2. The California Trust Guide could have a watermark which is less distracting. Kind of hard to read the print with the DEEDS.COM logo so prominent.

Im only 29, but I found my first gray hair! How do I cover it up?
Add lowlights the streaks will camouflage grays, says NYC colorist Rita Hazan. But when strands lose their color, they turn coarser, and dye cant easily penetrate. So go for a lowlights kit made to cover gray, like Marc Anthony Pro Root Touch-Up, $9.99, and add in extra softness with Pantene Color Revival Conditioner, $3.99.

The Guggenheim Bilbao museum
Enjoying a million visits per year, the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum has become one of the emblems that have made Bilbao one of the avant-garde cities of the 21st century. The breathtaking building and the importance of the work of art it holds make this city one of the five only in the world to benefit from the funds of this important collection. Come and discover this temple of art and modernity.
Bilbao is part of the select group of cities hosting a Guggenheim Museum. The other four privileged cities are New York, Las Vegas, Berlin and Venice. The unique structure of the museum's building, designed by Frank O. Gehry, makes a harmonic set which acts as background to the city. Titanium scales, glass curtains and stone curves designed with complex mathematic formulas give shape to this enormous "architectural sculpture" showing perspectives never seen before.
Looking at the impressive figure of the building from outside, we see how the fine titanium panels covering the museum look like fish scales and reflect fanciful shapes on the waters of the Nervion estuary. In the bright interior, the three floors are connected by glass lifts, stair towers and curved footbridges climbing up the walls as motorways. Despite the architectural complexity, a world of order opens to our eyes, nicely indicated, showing important works of art of the 20th century and making Bilbao part of the main international culture circuits.
The Gugenheim Bilbao museum is also a new model of museum because it shares its funds with the other institutions. For this reason, its permanent collection is shown in different ways and the contents are renewed periodically. Each visit is a unique experience.
Otras construcciones de vanguardia
Junto al museo, otros arquitectos de prestigio han dejado su huella en Bilbao. Norman Foster ha ideado un metro de aspecto futurista, amplio y luminoso; Santiago Calatrava ha diseñado el aeropuerto La Paloma, además del puente Zubi-Zuri que atraviesa la ría en el corazón de la ciudad; y Federico Soriano y Dolores Palacios han homenajeado al pasado astillero con el Palacio de Congresos y de la Música de Euskalduna, un edificio metálico que es otro emblema bilbaíno del siglo XXI. Estas construcciones de vanguardia, rompedoras con las formas arquitectónicas convencionales, se integran con armonía y renuevan la infraestructura de una urbe que mira al futuro sin perder sus tradiciones.
Other avant-garde buildings
Next to the museum, other prestigious architects have left their trace in Bilbao. Norman Foster has conceived a wide and bright underground with a futuristic appearance; Santiago Calatrava has designed the airport La Paloma, as well as the bridge Zubi-Zuri crossing the estuary in the centre of the city; and Federico Soriano and Dolores Palacios have paid tribute to the city's shipyard past with the Euskalduna conference hall and auditorium, a metallic building which also acts as emblem of the 21st century Bilbao. These avant-garde buildings, breaking away from traditional architectural shapes, blend in smoothly and renew the infrastructure of a city welcoming the future without losing its customs.

With less than 20 days to go until Christmas Day, the holiday season has kicked into full gear with Christmas lights, Christmas parties, Christmas movies... and now, Christmas pizza. Yes, Christmas pizza.
Sunday, Twitter user @toxicsmore posted a worthy opponent to the timeless — and controversial — fruitcake. Sporting mozzarella cheese, sweet, mini Santa's; and plenty of candy canes, the Christmas 'pizza' was met with backlash, but mostly questions. Plenty of questions.
