Get set for an amazing ride this November when the best roller derby girls on the planet land in Australia for the world's first Roller Derby Xtreme (RDX), a brand new, banked track elite roller derby series that will have spectators on the edge of their seats.
Tickets go on sale on Monday, 10 September for what is shaping up as THE entertainment spectacular of 2012 when RDX tours the east coast of Australia, taking in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle, Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Banked track roller derby hasn't been seen on Australian soil for almost 30 years, but RDX will mark an explosive return for this incredible action sport, with queens of the banked track LA Derby Dolls taking on the world flat track champs the New York Gotham Girl's Roller Derby, bringing their fierce rivalry to Australia.
LA Derby Dolls superstars Bombshell Betty, Stefcon 1 and Laguna Beyatch will lace up their skates and take on the likes of New York Gotham Girls' Suzy Hotrod, Fisti Cuffs and Bonnie Thunders in six arena show, starting at Sydney's Allphones Arena on 22 November. (See the accompanying RDX 101 for a full list of players)
And as a special bonus for local fans, Australian skaters will be hand-picked to skate with the American teams during the tour, highlighting the fantastic roller derby talent Australia has to offer.
One of the stars of the RDX shows is the track itself. Custom-designed in Australia for this live tour, the track is made from 12 tonnes of reinforced steel, with a steep 35-degree bank. Built in 44 individual sections, the track is transported by road and reassembled at each venue on the tour.
Other RDX highlights will include:
- One of the pioneers of the sport in Australia and RDX commentator, Betty Bamalam, will help identify the best Australian flat track skaters to test their skills to the limit on the banked track;
- Accompanying the visiting teams for an added injection of authenticity will be the number one roller derby commentator in the US as voted by fans, Dumptruck;
- Fans will be updated on every aspect of the game via big screen replays and instant statistics from an expert commentary team;
- RDX has created its very own Touch Pad scoring system specifically designed to simplify the rules for the fans
Do not miss out on the opportunity to be a part of this world sporting first!

Dom-Carbamazepine CR
How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Carbamazepine is used to manage certain types of seizures, alone or in combination with other medications. It is also used to treat the nerve pain of trigeminal neuralgia and to treat acute mania and prevention of bipolar (manic-depressive) disorders.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
How should I use this medication?
Recommended doses of carbamazepine vary greatly, depending on the condition being treated and the age and circumstances of the person being treated.
Seizure disorder: The starting dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is 100 mg to 200 mg once or twice daily. Depending on the effectiveness of the medication, the doctor may increase the dose gradually up to 1,600 mg daily in divided doses. Most people achieve the best response at daily doses between 800 mg and 1,200 mg.
The starting dose for children between 6 and 12 years of age is 100 mg daily in divided doses and increased by 100 mg daily until the best response is achieved. The daily maximum dose for children is 1,000 mg daily in divided doses.
If carbamazepine is being added to medications that are already being taken for seizures, the starting doses may be lower.
Trigeminal neuralgia pain: The starting dose of carbamazepine for treating the pain of trigeminal neuralgia is 100 mg taken twice daily. The dose is increased to a maximum of 1,200 mg daily, depending on the effectiveness of the medication.
Mania and bipolar disorders: The usual starting dose for the treatment of mania and bipolar disorders is 200 mg to 400 mg daily, taken in divided doses. The daily dose is then increased as instructed by the doctor to a maximum of 1,600 mg daily. If other medications, such as lithium, are being taken, the starting dose will be lower.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Carbamazepine should be taken with meals whenever possible.
The controlled release tablets should be swallowed whole with some liquid during or after a meal. They should not be crushed or chewed.
When taking carbamazepine suspension, shake the medication bottle well before measuring the dose of medication. An oral syringe should be used to measure each dose of the liquid, as it provides a more accurate measurement than household teaspoons.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store all forms of this medication at room temperature, away from humidity, and out of reach of children. The chewable tablets and liquid should be protected from light.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
This medication is available as 200 mg and 400 mg controlled release tablets.
Who should NOT take this medication?
Do not take carbamazepine if you:
- are allergic to carbamazepine or any ingredients of the medication
- are allergic to tricyclic compounds such as amitriptyline, trimipramine, or imipramine
- have a history of acute intermittent porphyria
- have a history of bone marrow depression
- have a serious blood disorder
- have severe heart disease (heart block)
- have liver disease
- have taken an MAO inhibitor (e.g., phenelzine, tranylcypromine) within the past 14 days or will take one within the next 14 days (If you have taken an MAO inhibitor recently but more than 14 days ago, your dosage of carbamazepine should be low initially, and increased very gradually.)
- are taking the antifungal medication itraconazole or voriconazole
What side effects are possible with this medication?
Many medications can cause side effects. A side effect is an unwanted response to a medication when it is taken in normal doses. Side effects can be mild or severe, temporary or permanent.

- signs of severe skin reactions (e.g., blistering, peeling, a rash covering a large area of the body, a rash that spreads quickly, or a rash combined with fever or discomfort)
- sores, ulcers, or white spots on lips or in the mouth
Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should take this medication.
Anemia: Carbamazepine may cause low levels of red blood cells. If you experience symptoms of reduced red blood cell count (anemia), such as shortness of breath, feeling unusually tired or pale skin, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells, including red blood cells, in your blood.
Birth control: Carbamazepine, like other anticonvulsants, may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Women taking carbamazepine should use an alternative, non-hormonal birth control method such as condoms. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Bleeding: Carbamazepine may cause a reduced number of platelets in the blood, which can make it difficult to stop cuts from bleeding. If you notice any signs of bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or black and tarry stools, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will order routine blood tests to make sure potential problems are caught early.
Bone strength: Long term use of antiepileptics has been associated with a risk of weakened or brittle bones. If you have osteoporosis, are at risk for developing osteoporosis, or have a history of disease affecting your bones, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Cancer: Some studies indicate a possible risk of developing cancer with long term use of carbamazepine. Discuss the potential benefits and possible risks of taking this medication with your doctor.
Depression: Carbamazepine has been known to cause mood swings and symptoms of depression. If you have depression or a history of depression, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you experience symptoms of depression such as poor concentration, changes in weight, changes in sleep, decreased interest in activities, or notice them in a family member who is taking this medication, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Carbamazepine may cause dizziness and drowsiness. People taking carbamazepine should avoid operating hazardous machinery (including cars) until they are certain that the medication does not affect their mental alertness, judgment, or physical coordination.
Heart disease: If you have coronary artery disease, organic heart disease, or congestive heart failure, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Hypersensitivity syndrome: A severe allergic reaction called hypersensitivity syndrome has occurred for some people with the use of carbamazepine. This reaction involves a number of organs in the body and may be fatal if not treated quickly. Stop taking the medication and get immediate medical attention if you have symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, including fever, swollen glands, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or flu-like symptoms with skin rash or blistering.
Glaucoma: Carbamazepine may cause the symptoms of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) to become worse. If you have glaucoma, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Report any changes in vision to your doctor as soon as possible while you are taking this medication.
Periodic eye examinations are recommended for people who take this medication.
Infection: Carbamazepine can reduce the number of cells that fight infection in the body (white blood cells). If you notice signs of an infection, such as fever or chills, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, prolonged dizziness, headache, stiff neck, weight loss, or listlessness, contact your doctor. Let your doctor know if you are experiencing more frequent infections than normal. Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells in your blood.
Kidney function: If you have kidney disease or decreased kidney function, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver function: Carbamazepine can cause decreased liver function and may cause liver failure. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication.
If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.
Lupus: In rare cases, carbamazepine can cause lupus. If you experience symptoms such as fever, facial rash or joint pain, or your lupus symptoms worsen while taking this medication, contact your doctor.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): Carbamazepine, like other medications used to treat some psychiatric illnesses, can cause a potentially fatal syndrome known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). If you notice the symptoms of NMS such as high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion or loss of consciousness, sweating, racing or irregular heartbeat, or fainting, get immediate medical attention.
Psychiatric issues: Carbamazepine may activate certain mental disorders or cause confusion and agitation for seniors. When used to treat bipolar disorder, some people have experienced worsening of their symptoms of depression, feeling unlike themselves, or they may want to hurt themselves or others. People should be closely monitored by their doctor for emotional and behavioural changes.
Skin reactions: Although uncommon, carbamazepine has been linked to serious skin reactions. If you experience symptoms of a serious skin reaction (such as skin rash; redness of the skin; skin peeling; or blisters on the lips, eyes, or mouth) with fever, chills, headache, cough, or body aches, contact your physician immediately.
Stopping the medication: Suddenly stopping carbamazepine can cause seizures. Before stopping this medication, discuss with your doctor how you should gradually reduce the dose.
Low thyroid hormones: Carbamazepine can cause thyroid hormones to be removed from the body more quickly than usual. This is most noticeable if you take thyroid replacement therapy. If you have an underactive thyroid, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your thyroid function with blood tests when you first start taking carbamazepine.
Pregnancy: Women with epilepsy who are pregnant or intend to become pregnant need special care. The potential benefits of carbamazepine must be weighed against its risks, particularly during the first 3 months of pregnancy. If needed to prevent major seizures, do not stop taking the medication. Usually, women with epilepsy who are pregnant should be treated with only one medication to prevent seizures.
Additional folic acid supplementation may be advisable for women taking carbamazepine, as this medication may contribute to a lack of folic acid in the body. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of using carbamazepine during pregnancy.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking carbamazepine, it may affect your baby. If a mother taking carbamazepine breast-feeds her infant, the infant must be observed for possible side effects (e.g., drowsiness or skin rash). The benefits of breast-feeding should be weighed against the possible risks to the infant. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using carbamazepine to treat trigeminal neuralgia or psychiatric disorders in children have not been established. The use of this medication for these conditions in this age group is not recommended.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between carbamazepine and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

HERO CENTRAL: Middle School Students Excel With Higher Achievement | News
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) - Adam Workineh, 15, looks over a sketched blueprint drawn by a middle school-aged boy. Workineh serves as a mentor and intern. He was once working on the same subject at Higher Achievement, a multi-year enrichment program focused on middle school students.
"Everybody at Higher Achievement is my family. I can come back, I can become an intern. I could just see how much the program has grown."
Middle School students take the first steps toward advancing both socially and academically. Higher Achievement challenges students during this critical time. Accepted students make a deep commitment of 650 hours of additional academic and extra-curricular work throughout the year. Students come from five wards in the District and the city of Alexandria.
"I really see Higher Achievement an early intervention, college access program that starts in 5th grade and helps our scholars navigate traditionally tough years and ultimately make it to high school and then to college," said executive director Katherine Roboff.
Students participate in the program all year within the Afterschool Academy and the Summer Academy. Higher Achievement teaches advanced lesson plans in core subjects like math, science and reading. Workineh was able to skip 5th grade.
"Well Higher Achievement helped me catch up with the curriculum, now I feel I haven't missed so much in 5th grade."
The program also gives students a chance to visit colleges and explore careers.
"I guess I didn't realize I wanted to become an engineer. But looking back on it, I guess Virginia Tech was a really nice trip."
After graduating from Higher Achievement, Workineh was accepted into a top high school, School Without Walls. He enters 11th grade this fall.
"I'd like to be an aerospace engineer because that fascinates me so much. It's interesting how those engineers work on projects that take astronauts to space."
NOTE: Gannett Foundation has provided a grant to Higher Achievement.

Google Earth is so amazing.
Did you know you can use it to not only find anything on Earth, but also to predict the weather?
I can't BELIEVE that tomorrow, the 2011 Cubs Home Opener...it's supposed to be a high of 57 and, as you can see from the map above, not a cloud in the sky.
Except for where I sit.
So, you know, no flip flops yet but I'm expecting to pretty much just walk around in shorts with a light jacket and the hell with the gloves and hot chocolate this year, man.
You should totally do the same.
Okay, see you all out there on Opening Day, tomorrow,
on April 1st.

Plants growing in the HMNS greenhouses
Back in December, when you were busy shopping, decorating your home and baking cookies, we were busy in the greenhouses of the Cockrell Butterfly Center, planting seeds for the 2008 Spring Plant Sale.
These seedlings started their life in the cozy environment of the greenhouse mist-tent, resting upon a warm heating pad set at 78 degrees. Some of the seeds planted were Cassia alata a sun-loving host plant for Sulphur butterflies, Asclepias curassavica a full-sun host plant for the Monarch butterflies, and Aristolochia fimbriata, a shade loving, groundcover host plant for the Pipevine and Goldrim butterflies. These are just a few of the surprises you will find at our 2008 Spring Plant Sale on April 12th.
This is a great time for you to begin preparing your soil and enhancing its quality in preparation for spring butterfly host-plants. It doesn't matter if you leave the Museum with one plant or twenty: the butterflies will come to your garden if you put in plants that attract them. Even if you already have an existing garden, you can always incorporate a few butterfly enhancing specimens to provide nurturing food for them and their offspring. You can review a list of the plants you might consider for your garden here.
Consider planting host plants (food for caterpillars) and nectar plants (food source for adult butterflies) in your landscape. Once a female butterfly mates, she sets off to find her host plant to lay her eggs upon. Each species is attracted to specific host plants; you will find these listed and organized in the Butterfly Gardening brochure.
Out of the eggs will come tiny little caterpillars that are sometimes difficult to see with the naked eye. The caterpillar or larvae then proceed to feast upon the leaves of the host plant for about 19-21 days on average.
Finally, the caterpillar, triggered by hormones, attaches itself to a surface and pupates. A beautiful butterfly then develops within the pupae. The butterfly should emerge in about 9-12 days, depending upon the species.
So there you have it, the life-cycle of these wonderful and beautiful insects. If you'd like to witness it in your own backyard, think about joining us for the Spring Plant Sale on April 12th from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on the roof of the Museum garage. We can't wait to share our love of Butterfly Gardening with you and your family.
Please remember if you ever have any butterfly or butterfly gardening questions just leave us a comment below, or you can e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com

NHL Game Night: 1-30-14 Lightning at Senators
Costly night in Ottawa.
Ben Bishop allowed 1 goal on 1 shot before leaving the game with an injury. It was a bizarre play where Bishop left his crease to try to play a puck that he had no chance of getting to, and after diving to the ice to get to it he was kneed in the back of the head by his teammate, Kucherov. If it's a concussion, that's probably a week, minimum, without Bishop, but early reports have Bishop passing his concussion test. Lindback allowed 4 on 27 shots the rest of the way for the old backdoor loss.
First Period
1:49 OTT Methot (5), (Zibanejad, Spezza)
19:34 OTT Karlsson (13), (Spezza, Michalek)
Second Period
3:10 TB Killorn (13), (Kucherov, Hedman)
6:25 OTT Smith (10), (unassisted)
18:40 OTT Turris (18), (Ryan)
Third Period
6:55 OTT Ryan (20), (Turris, MacArthur)
12:54 TB Johnson (17), (Palat)(SH)
17:08 TB Hedman (11), (St Louis, Palat)
Compounding the injury to Bishop was Valtteri Filppula leaving the game with some sort of ailment that limited his mobility after getting hit away from the play. I'm going to go with a hip injury as my guess. If his injury is of any severity, then I'm just going to throw the name Vladislav Namestnkov out there as a possible recall.
The Lightning's effort level really sagged after losing Bishop early in the game, and they looked like they were skating in quicksand until late in the game when the score was well out of hand. Between that and the copious number of turnovers that have ended up in the back of the team's net lately, it's not a good look. In particular, Radko Gudas has really struggled over the last month and he's had turnovers lead to important goals in each of the last two Lightning losses. Against the Leafs, he allowed the GWG. Against the Sens, his mistake led to the Smith goal that destroyed a fledgling rally from the Lightning after they'd cut the deficit to 2-1.
Mark Barberio was -2 with 2 penalty minutes, 3 shots, and 2 blocked shots. He was responsible for Turris' goal with an ill advised step up in the neutral zone where he missed the puck to surrender a breakaway to Bobby Ryan, which he compounded by failing to pick up the trailing Turris. There was no atonement for his mistake like the last game against Toronto, either.
J.P. Cote had 6 hits and 1 blocked shot in 9:35.
J.T. Brown had 1 hit and 1 blocked shot in 11:11.
Nikita Kucherov had a helper and was -1 with 1 shot, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 14:59. He got some luck on his helper with a pass that ricocheted off a skate to Killorn in prime scoring position in the slot for the goal.

Your office can be extremely busy places especially if you have a large workforce coming in and out every day. In addition to your staff, you might also have a large number of visitors. For busy offices that have a high volume of traffic going through, their place can start to look dirty very quickly; some offices can look terribly cluttered especially during mid-afternoon.
Therefore it is very important to hire a professional office cleaning service. Outsourcing this type of service doesn't have to be expensive. In Perth, you can find some cheap office cleaning services. For example,SouthernCrossCleaning is one of the companies you can depend on if you want to get affordable yet outstanding service. They can come to your office and deal with your cleaning problems. Read more about Southern Cross at www.southerncrosscleaning.com.
Generally, a workforce is greatly affected by the environment of the place that it works in. In fact, according to an article posted at Forbes, a stressful workplace can lead to less productive employees. For example, some of your staff members may feel very uncomfortable working in an office that is cluttered and untidy and this might mean that they are unable to concentrate very well.
With a clean and tidy office, your employees can become more productive. Office cleaners in Perth can give you all this. They can also give you rates that are affordable. In other words, you can get an outstanding service without breaking a leg.

I have three chibi characters today that I think you will love. For those of you that know what chibi's I am talking about, now is your chance to tackle the ones you found to be the best out of all three. Let's start with a tutorial on "how to draw chibi Superman", step by step. I only have one Superman tutorial on Dragoart, and because of this I thought that he needed his mini-me version to join in the party. I can't lie, drawing chibi Superman was very entertaining and I'm looking forward to doing more chibi style lessons in the future. From now on though, I think I'm going to keep them a secret so nobody knows when cuteness will pop up on the front page. I'm also really surprised that nobody had a lesson on chibi Superman. I mean, am I really the only one that knows how adorable that type of lesson could be? He looks just like one of those "Baby Geniuses" from that movie. I can't wait to upload the rest of the tutorials I have for the day. Anyway, let me stop blabbering and let you guys get to work on this submission. I will return with more drawing fun. Adios mi amigos!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

The Word on the Street: Fact and Fable about American English
Plenum Trade, 1998 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 294 pages
In The Word on the Street, John McWhorter reveals our American English in all its variety, beauty, and expressiveness. Debunking the myth of a "pure" standard English, he considers the speech patterns and accents of many regions and ethnic groups in the U.S. and demonstrates how language evolves. He takes up the tricky question of gender-neutral pronouns. He dares to ask, "Should we translate Shakespeare?" Focusing on whether how our children speak determines how they learn, he presents the controversial Ebonics debate in light of his research on dialects and creoles. The Word on the Street frees us to truly speak our minds. It is John McWhorter's answer to William Safire, transformed here into everybody's Aunt Lucy, who insists on correcting our grammar and making us feel slightly embarrassed about our everyday use of the language. ("To whom, " she will insist, and "don't split your infinitives!") He reminds us that we'd better accept the fact that language is always changing - not only slang, but sound, syntax, and words' meanings - and get on with the business of communicating effectively with one another.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the East Midlands as a "sharp north-south temperature contrast" could cause floods and snowfall across the region today (December 12).
As a heavy rain downpour spreads across the East of the country, people in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire are being warned about the risk of potential flooding.
Snowfall will also affect some areas, giving a slushy covering at lower levels and ice in higher areas.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Please be aware of the potential for disruption from snow or from flooding during Saturday.
"An area of low pressure, associated with a sharp north-south temperature contrast, is expected to move eastwards across central Britain on Saturday.
"This has the potential to produce 20 to 40 mm rainfall quite widely, and locally 60 mm on high ground. Lesser amounts are expected in the areas affected by last weeks floods, but may still approach 30-40 mm over the most prone spots. "
The weather warning has been issued from 9am until 8pm this evening.

Chinese propaganda officials must be thrilled that they're not responsible for the Olympics coverage in the British papers. Back during the Beijing Games, they worked hard to censor unrest and dissatisfaction in the domestic media. Reports of China's press freedom and human rights abuses were blocked, the kind of information control idiomatically referred to as "harmonizing."
Harmonize this: "Olympic security chaos hits headlines around the world" (Guardian); "Chaos hits Heathrow as Games approach" (Telegraph); "More demonstrations in Olympics bonus row" (BBC News). The U.K. press corps is a Chinese media manager's worst nightmare.
Even American news outlets are impressed with the quality and quantity of dissent on display across the pond. "Anyone reading British newspapers the past few weeks could have been convinced that a nightmarish catastrophe was unfolding along the Thames," The Washington Post's Jackson Diehl commented. "Complaining could be a British Olympic event," The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Officials in Beijing, if they take a minute from containing the flood coverage, might notice that despite the media's flagrant criticisms, Britain's leaders have not been toppled. Others will turn with relief to their own news outlets. They are also remembering the glory days of summer 2008, and their conclusions are much more reassuring. "Beijing Olympic Games were widely regarded as the best ever," one Monday report stated. Thank heavens for Xinhua.

ALBANY, New York -- Somewhere on the bottom of Italy's largest lake lie the remains of two dozen American soldiers who died when their amphibious vehicle sank in 1945 in the waning days of the fighting in Europe during World War II.
A volunteer group's discovery of what could be the wreckage 900 feet (275 meters) down in Lake Garda has given aging veterans hope that, after nearly seven decades, the remains of their comrades can finally come home.
"If you talk to the World War II guys, they're looking for closure and they haven't got it," said retired Army Col. Michael Plummer, president of the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division, the Army unit that battled the Germans in northern Italy until the last week of the war.
Of the association's nearly 1,200 members, about a third served during World War II.
"We seem to save any single soldier or find anybody in the wilds of Borneo or the mountains, and we thought it was very bad that the United States wasn't doing anything for these guys," said 89-year-old Jerry Nash, of Hudson, New Hampshire.
Nash was laying communication wire as the 10th Mountain pursued German forces into northern Italy's rugged alpine region, home to the 50-mile (80-kilometer) -long Lake Garda. When the enemy blew up tunnels through the mountains ringing the lake's northern end, the division's commanders sent soldiers across the lake in amphibious six-wheeled trucks, known by their military designation DUKW and known to GIs as ducks.
On the night of April 30, 1945, three DUKWs left the lake's east side carrying members of the division's 605th Field Artillery. One of the vehicles, jammed with 25 soldiers and a 75 mm cannon, stalled during the journey and soon began taking on water.
According to Cpl. Thomas Hough, the lone survivor, the soldiers desperately tossed their equipment and ammunition overboard in an attempt to keep the vessel from sinking. But the DUKW went down anyway, plunging the men into the frigid waters of the glacier-fed lake.
Soon all had drowned but Hough, a former lifeguard from Dayton, Ohio, who was rescued by two 10th Mountain soldiers on shore who heard the cries for help. Hough died in 2005.
Brett Phaneuf, a researcher from the Chester, Connecticut-based nonprofit underwater archaeology organization ProMare, led an effort 10 years ago to find the sunken DUKW. Hampered by equipment issues, Phaneuf found no sign of the vehicle.
But in late 2011, a local Italian group of volunteer divers started their own search. Using sonar and a remotely operated vehicle equipped with a video camera, they announced last December the discovery of a WWII DUKW sitting upright on the lake bottom.
Gruppo Volontari del Garda said it hasn't been able to positively confirm that it's the same DUKW that sank, killing the 24 soldiers, or one of the other two known to have sunk in the same area of the lake. The group said it plans to resume efforts to locate remains and recover the DUKW, possibly later this year or early in 2014.
"Seems to us only right to do everything possible in order to restore at least someone to their land," the group's spokesman, Luca Turrini, said in an email to The Associated Press.
Officials at the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command, the Hawaii-based unit that searches for remains of Americans from foreign battlefields, said they're aware of the group's claims but don't plan to investigate unless there's firm evidence that remains have been located.
"If JPAC were to be provided with additional information, we would gladly look into it more," Lee Tucker, a spokesman at JPAC's Pearl Harbor headquarters, said in an email to the AP.
The family of Pvt. James Hilley would like to see his remains recovered and returned to his hometown of Calhoun Falls, South Carolina.
When his great-nephew, Matthew Hilley, learned of the Italian group's discovery in December, he showed his aging relatives the video of the DUKW on his smartphone. It was a particularly emotional moment for 86-year-old Jewell Scott, James Hilley's sister.
"She said, `I prayed over and over and over again that we would find James before I passed away,' " Matthew Hilley said.
For Nash and the division's dwindling number of World War II veterans, the determination to recover the lost soldiers' remains hasn't diminished with the passage of time.
"It's the old story," he said. "You never leave any man behind."

This holiday weekend being the one upon which we give a split second's thought to the Victorians before getting on with the important business of gardening, breaking out the croquet set or planning that first backyard barbecue menu, here's my short list of greats in no particular order.
This list probably won't jibe with yours, superstars of the Victorian Era filling whole constellations on different continents in the arts, sciences, philosophy, political, religious and social movements.
Charles Darwin — Misunderstood and vilified by ignorant religious bigots, his great work The Origin of Species by Natural Selection has been described as the most important scientific concept in human history, providing an elegant method of understanding the processes which shape — and continue to shape — all life on the planet.
Rabindranath Tagore — Educated at an English public school before returning to manage a vast family estate in what's now Bangladesh late in Queen Victoria's reign, he proved a brilliant polymath. Both poet and philosopher, he has been called the sub-continent's greatest modern writer. His works inspired and transformed the literature of South Asia. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, the first non-European to do so.
Rudyard Kipling — First writer born in India to win a Nobel Prize in Literature — and the youngest ever to win it — he's often dismissed for the colonial and imperialist values embedded in his work. But his books endure because, although he was created by the empire into which he was born, he refashioned the short story as an art form and his narrative genius created a compassionate prism through which his times can be experienced and understood.
Nikola Tesla — Thomas Edison is the big name in the history books, but this Croatian-born electrical engineer who quit his job with Edison when the great man failed to come through with a promised bonus, invented and designed much of the technological infrastructure which makes possible the vast electrical energy grids which power our planet of the 21st century.
Mary Ann Evans — Author of what some say may be the greatest English novel "for grown ups." Middlemarch is a sprawling, complex construction of braided narratives, multiple plot lines and many richly devised characters. They bring to life a small provincial town in the throes of social upheaval during the Industrial Revolution. She wrote under the pseudonym George Eliot and yes, Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky are all literary geniuses, too.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson — He succeeded William Wordsworth, dean of a pantheon of Romantic poets which includes Byron, Shelley and Keats — big boots to fill — yet he served as Queen Victoria's poet laureate for 40 years. The stunning breadth, scope and accessibility of his poetry, which breathed new life into traditional British stories like the Arthurian cycles while mocking militarist follies in poems like Charge of the Light Brigade, both made him a national hero and exemplified the Victorian Age.
Karl Marx — Like his theories deconstructing capitalism or not, he remains the most influential writer on political economy of all time, cited by scholars more often than Aristotle, William Shakespeare, Biblical authors or many of the brilliant but, by comparison, lesser lights. He lived poor, thought big, loved his wife and family deeply and was loved by children for making fleets of paper boats, floating them in a tub for a mock naval battle — and then lighting them on fire!
Robert Louis Stevenson — In an age that produced some of the greatest of children's literature — think Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Water Babies, Black Beauty, A Book of Nonsense, The Jungle Book and Peter Pan (yes, I know the latter was produced in 1904 but it's still Victorian) — the author of Treasure Island, Kidnapped and A Child's Garden of Verses still ranks among the most translated and beloved authors in the world.
John William Waterhouse — His painting of St. Eulalia, victim of Diocletian's persecution, lying on snowy flagstones among pigeons, brown hair flared like a halo in the foreground, her body partly covered by what looks like a hastily thrown soldier's cloak, one white bird fluttering up, two disinterested Roman soldiers, observers in the background lamenting against the austere marble columns and pillars of the state. Wow.
Louis Pasteur, Oscar Wilde, the Rossettis, the Bronte sisters, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas Hardy, George Bernard Shaw, Emily Dickinson, Henry David Thoreau, the Brownings, William Morris, John Ruskin, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, one could marvel on, but I'm out of space.

Detect fraudulent orders
Several features of Quick Shopping Cart® help online merchants detect and act on fraudulent orders, including:
- Address Verification
- All credit card payments include Address Verification Service (AVS), which helps merchants who accept online transactions reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions by matching the cardholder's billing address with the billing address entered by the shopper in Quick Shopping Cart. If the addresses match, AVS verification passes.
- Card Verification
- The CVV number is the 3-4 digit verification number located on the back of your credit card. This number is not generally available to thieves who steal credit card numbers because they don't have the actual credit cards. CVV Verification matches the number on file for the card with the number entered by the shopper in Quick Shopping Cart. If the numbers match, CVV verification passes.
- Fraud Rules
- The Fraud Rules in Quick Shopping Cart allow you to apply common rules to orders and automatically check orders as they come in. Orders are marked as potentially fraudulent if they break any of the applied rules, allowing you to review potentially fraudulent orders and decide whether to complete or cancel the order.
- Conditional Availability of Downloadable Products
- You can specify if you want downloadable products to be available to customers as soon as they place a credit card order, or not until after you have verified the order and processed payment.
Note: AVS and CVV are only available to merchants who set up Quick Shopping Cart to integrate with their merchant account via a payment gateway. For more information, see Why can't I capture the CVV code for credit cards for Point of Sale transactions?.

Coming out of hiding to say....If Dani gets BD'd, she should put the bug in Rachel's ear that it will just be the two of them (Dani and Brendan) in the Jury House for a week....tell her she won't have a fiancee by the time Rachel gets there! Dani should tell her she WILL get between Rachel and her man....Rachel is so whacked, she would believe that and vote for Danielle to stay!! back to lurking....
Paisley, I think they want to make a deal with Porsche and take her down. I'm not 100% sure because I'm still catching up.
If Jeff truly wants to be Big Jeff, he has to knock Dani out of the game or he'll be Wimpy Jeff. We already have wimpy players.
Jeff and Jordan are a team. Someone needs to break them up in order to have any chance to win.
Quote from: TexasLady on August 21, 2011, 10:38:59 AMPaisley, I think they want to make a deal with Porsche and take her down. I'm not 100% sure because I'm still catching up.I believe it is Porch -- after all she is giving Jeff a run for his money with the comps coming in 2nd a few times. I think they were going to talk to Kali too. But I think the plan is to have K & D up for elimination.
I am not sure the DE will be a surprise, Dixon. I have heard several of them already discussing the possibility on the feeds. Dani is for sure aware of the possiblity, I would bet Adam is too.And of course we know the DR feeds them info too.

Ophelia's plot thickens indeed. Check out  this page as well. What a shady character. (Speaking of shady...look how the panels behind possessed Nessie are darker than those behind normal Nessie.)
I wonder why, though, and the extent to which Nessie will follow along.

Rachel's Show — Maddow herself is the highest-paid and highest-rated talent at MSNBC, but beyond her own program, her quest to fill the network with her protégés may be dragging down ratings. Being an intellectual and a true believer is not, it seems, a good thing if you're in the ratings business.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
"Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, and then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" – Qur'an 21:30
"then He turned to the heaven (sky) when it was still gas (smoke) and said to it, and to the earth, "come into existence, willingly or unwillingly" and they said "we come willingly." – Qur'an 41:11
Alhamdulillah! I find it fascinating, no matter what the critics and detractors say, that only Islam through the Noble Qur'an rightly says that all life originated and evolved from the sea and is mostly water. And Islam alone of the three "Peoples of the Book" states that the universe originated from dust and hot gas or smoke, as described in the Big Bang theory of creation.
The science is of course much more complex and exacting, but no other religion even suggested it 1400 years ago.
Ya Haqq!

This is not about the digital world, neither about the sin or religion, but it's good to read. I'm gonna declare a cure for cynicism here on this post.
Whether you're a Christian or a Muslim (or even irreligious), you most probably believe Greed to be a bad thing, and a deadly sin perhaps. Since I was a child, I always defied my own greed and tried to be as indifferent about excessive growth as possible, to control greed and not letting it grow it's roots inside of me, taking control.
But Muslim scholars have an alternate belief, that nothing in this world is purely evil - not even sins or devil himself - and everything is for the good of something. That one I didn't keep in mind while I was wrestling that wicked creature...
Now I'm greedless. I've been greed-free for a dozen years, and nothing seems to really interest me. I've had my chances of acquiring huge wealth, power and status and I've grasped them from time to time, but always let go way before it actually meant something.
I've also been a cynic for a dozen years, with no interesting point in my life. Don't take me wrong, I'm very dedicated, motivated and hardworking and mostly successful too, I just don't see a point. I'm not passionate about anything. I don't love doing stuff. I don't even like it. I just know what is good to be done, so I do it.
Out of nowhere, I realized that being greed-free is my problem. No greed causes cynicism. Greed is Good for motivation, for passion, for progress and for life. It's not just good, it is mandatory. Let me tell you a story...
On my first trip to Iraq, me and a couple friends visited Bazaar to buy some goods and souvenir to bring for our families. The shopkeepers at the Bazaar seemed very odd in our point of view, they had no desire to sell their goods to us; they had no greed. We intended to spend considerable money, yet nobody was interested. We had to pick the goods ourselves, package them, count them and pay the price for them. To make it more weird, one of the shoppers left his shop in the middle of our progress!
I started thinking, why would they want more money? There's nothing they can get with more money. All they want - and could have - with their lives is an air conditioner, a house, and some basic food, which are all available for free there.
A couple years later, on my second trip to Iraq, we also wanted some souvenir, but this time things were different. The United States had established it's infrastructure in Iraq, and people were greedy now. You could see the greed glowing in their eyes. They craved for money. Things were much more expensive. Money was suddenly more important than anything else. Greed had the sovereign.
Greed, like any other human emotion and desire, is a horse to tame, not a bug to kill or a weakness to destroy. Greed will devour one if it is not tamed, and can be exploited as a weakness, yet without it one can not proceed well.

A new rumored leak of the Wii U's internal hardware specs is out and it's got some pretty outrageous stuff. Claims the system's GPU runs at 710Mhz (not unreasonable) and has 512MB GDDR5 memory. Then it says the CPU has six-cores each running at 920Mhz.
This is a rumor and should be taken with a gigantic grain of salt.
Ok..less than a week till release & we still do not know the actual spec numbers for the Wii U yet? Does anyone find that the least concerning at all?
If Nintendo is so confident as they should be with the system than these numbers should have been revealed long ago. I do not know i just find it odd we have no idea the actual numbers.

And that's pretty much all I've got. See you on Monday folks!
Ok, I'll try a little more. I rode around the park and there were many more CaBis left than usual. This happens frequently on Fridays, probably based on alternative work schedules. Though I think that if I had an alternative work schedule I'd be more likely to be biking on a Friday than not. I would also buy a big aquarium and keep colorful fish for pets. I suppose I technically don't need to be off every other Friday to do that, but I'd feel bad for the fish not getting to spend quality with me.
The Brompton isn't making noises any more, so I'm relatively pleased with that. I'm trying to decide how important/necessary/useful a front bag would be for the bike. In practice, I very much enjoy the idea of the utility of not having to wear a bag on my back, but I've priced some of these bags and they are rather expensive. For the same amount of money I could buy so many waffles and then eat those waffles, or at least some of them, and then not feel too great because I ate too many waffles. That's how many waffles I could buy: enough to eat too many of them but still have a lot of waffles left over and that's how expensive the bags seem (I say seem because it's not like they cost like a billion dollars, but they cost a lot for a bag). I might just invest in a good/better messenger bag/backpack, so recommend away. My current bag is made of canvas, which isn't waterproof in any real way. It also gets gross from sweat and stuff.
I rode behind a few people on East Capitol and then bike traffic was fairly light on Pennsylvania Avenue, not that heavy bike traffic would really have any appreciable difference on my commute. Or at least not until it's really, really heavy. But even with little bike traffic, there are some places along the route that could really benefit from some regulation of traffic flow. For example, the entrance to the White House plaza has maybe 15 or 20 metal posts in front of it, denying access to cars, but allowing for pedestrians and cyclists to pass through. But with all those choices, I've seen bicyclists nearly collide into one another because the riders coming up 15th street and the riders heading towards 15th street each want to ride through the same gap, the one closest to 15th street on the other side of the guard house. See below:
Essentially, I think that they should just add some markings (ideally, green paint) that extends from the 15th street cycle track to where cyclists should turn to keep on it. That way, you have a clearer pathway that could help avoid some of the potential collisions. It could even just be words painted on the ground, words like "To Continue on Cycle Track, Turn Left Here" but you'd put them where you want people to turn left. I think this kind of clarity could also benefit tourists who are all like "where'd that bike lane go?" Or, if you really want to be classy and/or you hate green paint, you could use darker paving stones to indicate the desired pathway. Anyway, whatever 29 agencies control this space should really drop everything to ensure that this happens as soon as possible.
Another new Bromtpon at Friday Coffee Club. It belongs to Ted and it has Brooks grips and now I want Brooks grips.
|blurry picture
After coffee, I set out up 17th street, which was vaguely terrible. The only saving grace was the ease with which I could pull up onto the sidewalk when the traffic was too backed up. I think I did this three times at red lights, riding on the sidewalk to the front of the line of stopped cars and then pulling back into the road ahead of them. This might be incredibly bad form on my part, both for the illegal sidewalk riding and the car shoaling. I've given all folding bike riders a bad name for the history of the rest of all time and now they'll have to cancel Christmas or whatever the usual claims are when people write about one person's bad behavior tarnishing the image of the entire group. In case you couldn't tell, I think that's hogwash. But I suppose it's mightily convenient for a scofflaw to exculpate himself, which I believe was something that Michelangelo did also.
Connecticut Avenue to Dupont Circle and through Dupont Circle (not around, but through the park) to Massachusetts where I rode behind a guy wearing funky yellow plaid pants and then I rode up the big hill and then I folded my bike and now it's behind my chair as I type this blog post.
