The claim: A newly discovered genetic quirk offers those who carry it a built-in barrier against heart disease, two new studies show. This research could lead to new drugs or treatments for those who don't carry the gene.
The research: The two studies—one from the University of Maryland and another, larger study published in the New England Journal of Medicine—independently pinpointed the genetic mutation. For those who carry the gene (roughly one out of every 150 people), the risk for coronary heart disease drops by about 40%, according to the larger of the two studies.
AdvertisementAdvertisementThe mutation lowers the amount of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in your blood, explains Sekar Kathiresan, MD, director of preventative cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, who helped conduct the larger study. Kathiresan says these lipoproteins "stick" to the artery walls of your heart, which can lead to blockages and heart attacks. So a genetic defense against triglycerides and their lipoprotein buddies is great for your heart, his research suggests.

What it means: "This mutation teaches us that blocking the APOC3 gene will reduce a person's risk for heart attack," Kathiresan says, naming the exact gene his study helped uncover. Here's why that's important: Eventually, researchers may be able to use this information to develop new heart medications and treatments, Kathiresan explains.
The bottom line: Those new heart treatments are at least a few years away. Also, it's not practical to test everyone for the gene mutation, since knowing about it wouldn't change a doctor's recommendations regarding your heart health, Kathiresan says. For now, maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and decreasing your carbohydrate intake are all proven ways to limit your body's triglyceride levels, he adds.

The implications of these results on the monophyly of the genera in this alliance are discussed. Two independent lineages within the paraphyletic Androcymbium are characterised by enlarged and brightly or contrastingly coloured bracts, which conceal the flowers. The tepals in these species are always cucullate. In the remaining lineages the flowers are more prominent and the tepals are mostly flat. No morphological characters can be identified that serve to diagnose the lineages in Androcymbium that are retrieved by the molecular analysis, and the only practical option is to include all species of Androcymbium within an expanded circumscription of Colchicum. The genus Colchicum in this expanded sense is defined by its short-stemmed or acaulescent habit, androecial nectaries, and 2–4-porate pollen. The necessary synonomy and new combinations are made.

text: An Early and Rare Russian VKK-2 partial pressure suit-functionally identical to the David-Clark T-1 model US equivalent and probably inspired by it. The Russian VKK-2 suit is an early equivalent of the US Air Force T-1 partial pressure suit, used by pilots flying in the upper atmosphere. Russia actively examined and investigated many American technological solutions to various aerospace medical problems and the VKK-2 suit is therefore closely patterned after the original western mechanical partial pressure suits designed and developed by Dr. Henry, since it was an effective means of providing aircrew high altitude defense against lowered atmospheric pressure. The latter VKK-4 and VVK-6 suits (used in the MiG-21 and other aircraft with the GSh-4 and GSh-6 helmets) were improved and modified versions of the earlier VKK-2, corresponding to the US MC-2, MC-3, and MC-4 partial pressure suits. Great suit for your collection. This suit is in excellent condition, unused, size 1.

Faded Red Roses - Poem by David Harris
She stood at the alter
A gown of white she did wear
With a bouquet of red roses
And blue ribbons in her hair
She waited for someone
Who was never to come
Tears leaked from her eyes
Across her cheeks did run
The bouquet of red roses
For her wedding day
Have all now faded
As time slipped away
Those faded red roses
She still holds in her hand
Years have come and gone
Waiting for this man
You'll still find her
With tears in her eyes
As the hopes he'll still come
Fade like the roses
Washed too much by the sun
Today she still waits all alone
Those faded red roses in her hand
Is now all that she owns

WASHINGTON, March 29— Opening a new season of struggle over Federal abortion policy, the Clinton Administration plans to ask Congress to lift the nearly total ban on Federal financing of abortions for poor women, White House officials say.
The move will come in President Clinton's detailed budget request, expected to be made public the week of April 4, said George Stephanopoulos, the chief White House spokesman. How Congress will respond and how hard Mr. Clinton will push the issue are still unclear, say lawmakers and legislative analysts on Capitol Hill. Abortion foes say they believe they have a good chance of blocking the President. Signal of Deep Change
For all the uncertainties, Mr. Clinton's decision to seek the repeal of the 16-year-old Federal prohibition, the Hyde Amendment, which applies to the Medicaid program for poor people, is a sign of the sea change in abortion politics. Both sides of the abortion issue predict that the next six months will test old positions, longstanding alliances and the power of the abortion-rights movement under a friendly Administration.
This struggle will play out not only in the spending and budget bills that make their way through Congress this spring and summer but also in the renewed effort to win passage of the Freedom of Choice Act, which is intended to limit the restrictions that states can impose on abortion. Readying for a Fight
Perhaps most important, both sides of the abortion issue are preparing for a fight over the health-care program being drafted by the White House task force headed by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Among the proposals being considered is one that, over the long term, would dismantle the Medicaid program and integrate the poor into the same network of doctors, hospitals and private insurance companies that would serve the more affluent.
Whether or not such a proposal is adopted, abortion-rights supporters say, reproductive-health and abortion services must be included in the basic benefits package expected to be guaranteed all Americans under the final plan. "For too long, women's reproductive health has been left to the vagaries of politics," said Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion Rights Action League, who met with top White House officials on the issue last week.
The primary goal in all these struggles, Ms. Michelman added, is "to have government return to a position of neutrality in the reproductive decisions of women."
Opponents of abortion are just as adamant about preventing abortion from becoming a routine medical service in the eyes of the law. Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, said of the abortion-rights forces, "They want to obliterate any distinction between abortion and contraception." A Campaign Promise
Mr. Clinton's decision to seek repeal of the Hyde Amendment is the fulfillment of a campaign promise that highlighted the gulf between him and President George Bush on abortion. The amendment, named for its sponsor, Representative Henry J. Hyde of Illinois, was approved by Congress in 1976 and endured, in one version or another, with the backing of Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Bush. It applies to the Medicaid program, the basic health-care program for poor people, which is financed jointly by the Federal Government and the states.
At present, the Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of any Federal money for abortions for poor women unless a woman's life is endangered. The abortion-rights league says eight states use their own money to provide abortions to poor women in additional circumstances, like cases of rape and incest or fetal deformity. Twelve other states pay for most or all abortions, the league says.
The Hyde Amendment has been the subject of skirmishes over the years, with abortion-rights supporters in Congress trying several times to allow financing of abortions in cases of rape and incest. But Mr. Bush consistently vetoed such efforts; his opposition meant that abortion-rights supporters needed a veto-proof majority of two-thirds in each house of Congress, exceedingly hard to get.
Mr. Stephanopoulos provided no details of Mr. Clinton's strategy. The spokesman simply said, "The President called for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment during the campaign, and that will be his position." The amendment "will not be part of his budget submission," he said. Trying for Flexibility
Mr. Stephanopoulos cast the decision as an effort to give states greater flexibility. "The Republicans have shown consistently in their platform that they weren't prepared to allow for abortions even in cases of rape and incest," he said.
An Administration official, speaking on condition that he not be identified, said the legal implications of lifting the Hyde Amendment were unclear. Specifically, he said, there is much disagreement over how this move will affect states that have banned the use of their money for abortions and therefore do not include them in their Medicaid programs. The budget submission will "include language that says the Administration will work with Congress to facilitate an approach that is consistent with both Federal and state law," the official said.
But opponents of abortion asserted that repealing the Hyde Amendment would, sooner or later, force states to finance virtually all abortions for poor women. "I'd welcome the debate," said Mr. Johnson, of the National Right to Life Committee. "The American public is strongly against the Federal funding of abortion on demand."
The political support for taxpayer financing of abortions is not, in fact, so great as the support for the constitutional right to choose abortion. The last time a New York Times/CBS News Poll asked about this issue, in July 1992, 52 percent said they opposed "using tax dollars to pay for abortions for women who cannot afford to pay for them," while 42 percent favored it. In the same poll, 41 percent said abortion should be available to those who want it; another 39 percent said it should be available, but with stricter limits than now exist, and 18 percent said it should not be permitted at all. Ambivalence in Congress
That translates into a similar ambivalence in Congress. Mr. Hyde, a Republican, said in an interview last week, "There's an initial impulse to say the pro-abortion sentiment seems to be on a roll right now, but there are a lot of members who are, in their words, pro-choice but nonetheless oppose the use of taxpayer-funded abortions."
Representative Vic Fazio, a California Democrat who has long been active on abortion rights, said Congress would be "charting new territory" on the Hyde Amendment and other abortion issues.
The most important test, Mr. Fazio said, could be over the inclusion of abortion services in the national health-care plan. Mr. Stephanopoulos, in an interview on Friday, refused to discuss what services might or might not be in the basic benefits plan. But Mr. Clinton explicitly promised during the campaign, as did his party's platform, to cover abortion in any national health plan.
Abortion-rights supporters say they fully expect Mr. Clinton to live up to his promise and cover abortion services.
But some, speaking on condition that they not be identified, also say they worry about what kind of priority Mr. Clinton will put on the issue. While abortion-rights supporters consider Mrs. Clinton an important ally, they fear that the White House will ultimately be unwilling to have health-care reform held hostage to the abortion issue.
Moreover, Mr. Clinton will be asking much from this current Congress, including the more conservative members who might have the most difficulty with votes on abortion.

Republicans are NOT cowards!
I know that I quite often start a post off with a blatant lie but in this case I'm being deadly serious. I truly believe that Republicans are not cowards. Really. Admittedly, the evidence would seem to bear out the alternative view – and I'm sure many Republicans would agree if they weren't changing their underwear at the time – since the general consensus is that most – if not all – Republicans are hypocritical and immoral pansies, control freaks with no backbones, sheep in vegetative states, and they smell too. However, this wide-ranging and mostly accurate generalisation only tells the vast majority of the truth. I firmly believe that inside each and every mindless Republican there really is a spark of integrity kept alive by a draught of toxin-laden air that isn't stripped away to feed the cancerous growths of vile inhumanity so prevalent.
The problem has always been that belief in something with no foundation to support it is easy to dismiss and difficult to gather support for. This doesn't stop your average fundamentalist or Republican from attempting to do so but that's because moronicity is a prerequisite for both particular social and political leanings. I'm not a moron according to my most recent tests so my belief that Republicans, like Darth Vader, still can be saved has, until now, remained a private matter, something I never bothered anyone else with knowing that its inherent basis in insanity was something that other people – of whom I care about deeply – really needn't be concerned about. Luckily, a better person than I (it's true; one exists), a true patriot among patriots, a devoutly heterosexual leader among men of all creeds and colours (*terms and conditions apply), has devised a method by which my very personal belief can be proven. It's nice to know that you're not alone so General JC Christian I thank you from the bottom of my heart. But not the heart of my bottom.
Operation Yellow Elephant is a project that aims to reignite that sputtering human decency that I simply know has to be inside each and every young Republican who simultaneously wholeheartedly supports the Global War On Terror™ and wholeheartedly supports Hoping Someone Else Will Sacrifice A Limb Or Three For Freedom™. Let me say again: Mostly, Republicans are not cowards! Mostly.
Military recruitment is in dire peril and attempts to make it look otherwise by altering the figures were sadly spotted. Are you a Republican who could fight for your country? Are you a Republican parent whose son or daughter is of or close to military age? Read on to see how enlisting in the greatest army in the world – the Free American Lightly Armoured Freedom Force For Freedom Army – can benefit your entire life!
Shutting Up Democrats
It's hard being a Republican, being the most-reviled subspecies on the planet, knowing in the core of your blackened heart that everything you do is open to ridicule, everything you say almost entirely based on fiction, and that your carelessness and lack of tolerance will come back and bite you later in this life or real soon in the next one. Every day you can feel dark, ethereal tendrils snaking further into your soul and you hate more things more quickly and you like the feeling more and more. On the plus side you dress nice.
Those Democrats, huh? They've always got an answer, haven't they? They call you a hypocrite and you tell them that's not true. And one day soon you'll look the word up and really give it to them. Don't you want to say something – anything – or make one little gesture, something that will completely and totally leave those bleeding liberal do-gooders dumbfounded? Haven't you tossed and turned at night thinking "If only I'd said that or pointed out that or kicked them in those!" but it's always too late? Don't you want to do something that will make Democrats stand open-mouthed? You can.
Republicans, enlist in the American Army. Not the navy because of their shipboard orgiastic lifestyles. Not the air force because of Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. It has to be the army or you will have lost The War On Being Gutless. Enlist and then walk up to as many Democrats in any breaks between your perpetual cycles of tours of duty and say "I support the war, I support our dear leader George W. Bush, and I'm in the army, so there!"
Winner: You!
State-Of-The-Art Equipment And Advantages
Don't think for one second that fighting for the benefit of your political leaders' outside interests in a country where you will be shot at on a daily basis and see many of your friends blown to pieces is as dangerous as occasionally reported in the "And finally …" sections of news broadcasts. It's not!
Republican management – the best type of management money can lubricate – has ensured you'll be kitted out with protective clothing capable of stopping most types of bullets aimed in your general direction and many of your internal organs won't be completely beyond saving. Your lowly enemy will have no such luxury! How is this possible without spending taxpayers' money? Simple! The American Army allows you to buy good quality equipment yourself! With your own money! That's right: unhappy with standard-issue anti-flak elbow patches? Pop down to Walmart before departure and pick up the latest in all-over body armour. Designed to protect drunken hunters from other drunken hunters, you'll still find that Uncle Sam's military leaders are more than happy for you to kit yourself out in superior equipment to that of your fellow soldiers. For your safety. Because they care.
The Democrats might have given everyone the same chance and equipped every man and woman with the best that extra taxation could buy but that's not the Republican way. Your parents and you deserve every advantage you can afford. Be the one who only loses an arm when the carefully-coordinated attack on your Bradley fighting vehicle by the panicky and ineffective insurgency blows it to smithereens.
Winner: You! And taxpayers!
Become Insanely Wealthy
Army pay is pretty good and there are numerous bonuses you can receive too. Most of these are tied into returning your issued equipment in the same state you received it (admittedly unlikely) or if you have a particular skill of use in the fight for freedom (accountants, lawyers, and car dealership-owners are, sadly, not in the list marked "highly sought-after").
The real money won't start to flood in until you are finally allowed to leave the army and join up with a private security firm instead. Expect to earn ten times your salary with flexible working hours. Wow!
Reports that it is next to impossible to leave the army once you join up are nothing but scaremongering truths spread by Democrats. As a patriotic Republican you must feel absolutely free to believe that you will be treated differently. Because you're special.
Winner: You! And your next of kin!
Fantastic Future Job Prospects
What employer isn't going to jump at the chance to hire a jittery ex-infantryman who suffers from night terrors, walks with his back to the wall at all times, and shot the receptionist just prior to the interview because the tan she received on her holiday in Bermuda was mighty, mighty suspicious? All of them. However, your lightning reflexes and many deep-rooted psychoses picked up from continually avoiding being sniped and witnessing the carnage caused from killing innocent – yet potentially capable of assisting terrorists after school – people mean that no employer will dare to turn you down.
You can work for anyone!
What happens if you're rendered paraplegic before you're able to cultivate a manic personality change and subject your family, friends, and colleagues to constant fear? Guilt factor and disability payments! Ker-ching!
Winner: You! And patriotic manufacturers of wheelchair ramps!
Help Save President Bush From Justice
There are some people who want to impeach George W. Bush even though all he's done wrong is plan to invade Iraq and install a puppet government from the moment he stole power, lie to the American people, be responsible for the deaths of over one thousand seven hundred Americans, and over ten thousand wounded, and be responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of men, women, and children whose only crime was to have been born in Iraq. What was his extra-marital blowjob count total though? That's right: none!
As more and more evidence of lying and corruption surface implicating George W. Bush and the Republican Administration in illegal activity after illegal activity only a resounding and swift victory in Iraq looks likely to dominate the airwaves enough to whitewash the feelings of the majority of Americans, of whom over 60% now believe he's a complete twat.
That's where you – young, Republican patriot – come in. Help achieve that victory or watch the Democrats take back the power that was stolen from them and send President Bush to jail for crimes against humanity.
Winner: George W. Bush!

"I'm a Republican and I support the war but I'm a bit busy at the moment although I'm definitely not a chicken-shit coward, it's just that my education and career are quite important, and I'd like to and all, but, really, there's this nice Republican girl I just met from a good family and long-distance romances never work out, and love is very important because Jesus said so, and, anyway, there are far better people who are probably much better at shooting Arabs than I'll ever be, and I wouldn't want to deprive a latino immigrant from a job and funding for his education, and my family would be really upset if anything happened to me, but I'm happy to put a bumper sticker on my new car when daddy buys it or harass supporters of peace, okay?"
Loser: You!
American Democrats: help Republicans to help themselves and help your country. Help Operation Yellow Elephant at Jesus' General today.

I want you to trust me. I won't lie. I know being photographed brings about feelings of vulnerability but I want you to trust me. How else will I get you to leave your inhibitions at the door and allow me to guide you through this transformation process. Beauty comes in all ages, sizes, and stages of life, there are just so many different ways to see it. But I know its in there, and I know I can find it in you … even when you can't.
This beautiful woman who I had the pleasure of photographing is Yenni, a makeup artist originally from Finland (yes, all the way from Finland). Yenni is beautiful both inside and out. She is girly, a little shy, and has an insanely positive outlook on life. Yenni trusted me with her entire heart on this day. Even though she's a makeup artist, she's not used to being photographed. I folded her into awkward positions on a windy roof top, made her suck in bits and pieces she never thought significant and probably made her work a lot harder than she expected. For 60 minutes, I showed her no mercy.
But look what I found in her.
Yenni has converted to the other side with me! 🙂 You see, she now understands what it means to SEE yourself in a new light. She understands why its so important to perhaps experience this just once in your life. Because she experienced it.
And because she believes in it so strongly with all her heart, she is now part of my team and the transformation process. Together we look forward to helping you SEE your true colors.

While pitching prospect Zack Wheeler remains in line to make his big-league debut during Tuesday's doubleheader in Atlanta, Mets righthander Matt Harvey may not join him as originally scheduled.
Harvey is slated to start Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals.
Latest Mets stories
However, weather forecasts are calling for thunderstorms all day. If the game is wiped out, manager Terry Collins said Harvey and the rest of the starting rotation will likely be bumped back a day.
"It doesn't look good, I know that," Collins said. "So, we'll just make our adjustments and move everybody back one."
A postponement today would give the Mets seven games wiped out by either rain or snow. The team already has three doubleheaders on the schedule thanks to makeup games. They already have lost two scheduled off days to makeups.
June 24 is the only common off day for the Mets and Cardinals and would be the most likely makeup date.
advertisement | advertise on newsday
Said Collins: "Obviously, I don't think anybody in baseball has gone through what we've gone through this year weather-wise."
With Wheeler in the fold, the Mets will eventually have to move a pitcher out of the starting rotation, most likely either Dillon Gee or Jeremy Hefner. However, the club has not ruled out simply stashing one of them in the bullpen.
Davis better off playing
The Mets considered holding Ike Davis out of games altogether so he could begin making changes to his swing. But Collins said the team ultimately decided that Davis would benefit from playing in games while making fixes at Triple-A Las Vegas.
"You've got to be able to apply them as fast as you can," Collins said.
Dotted line
First-round draft pick Dominic Smith is close to signing with the Mets. A source said that negotiations could be wrapped up over the weekend.

161 m² penthouse with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a 16 m² terrace.
One-of-a kind for over one hundred years: Constructed between 1900 and 1905, Casa Burés takes its name from its first owner, Francesc Burés, owner of one of Spain's most successful textile companies. Originally, the ground floor housed the company's headquarters while the 1000m² first floor was Burés' family home. The upper floors – which were accessed by one of the first lifts to be installed in Barcelona – then comprised twelve 300m² rental apartments. The building's façade at the junction of Carrer Ausiàs March and Carrer Girona is just as imposing today as when it was first built. It is inside, however, where Casa Burés' greatest treasures are to be found.
Modernist values: The renovation of Casa Burés not only preserves the building's structure and its listed decorative elements, but also maintains all the advantages of its Modernist architecture: light, space, habitability, high-quality materials and maximum comfort.
Preservation of the past: Every door, window, ceiling, floor, sculpture and pane of stained glass has been painstakingly studied by experts in Catalonia's Modernist heritage. The most valuable elements were restored by specialist craftsmen, while others were replaced by identical pieces adapted to suit today's purposes or given a new lease of life as decorative features. For example, sliding doors that previously divided rooms now partition the separate areas for daytime and night-time activities. And the exquisite wallpaper patterns that once adorned the walls of the bedrooms inspired the design of the new ground-glass screens that have taken their place.
Nothing has been forgotten.
Casa Burés is just moments away from Passeig de Gràcia, the Palau de la Música, Las Ramblas, La Boquería food market, the recently remodelled Passeig de Sant Joan, Parc de la Ciutadella and the enchanting Borne neighbourhood in Barcelona's Old Town. The newly revamped OneOcean Port Vell and the beaches of Barceloneta are just a short stroll away.
Casa Burés is ideally located for making the most of Eixample's laid-back lifestyle. Michelin-starred restaurants, designer cafés, creative art galleries, exquisite home décor shops, independent boutiques and exclusive food shops are all on your doorstep.

Game blog from Sprint Center: KU vs. TCU — Big 12 quarterfinal
For the first time this season, the Kansas Jayhawks, now ranked No. 1 in the country, will play without starting guard Josh Jackson. It will be up to capable veterans Frank Mason III, Devonte' Graham and Landen Lucas to carry KU (28-3) past TCU (18-14) in a Big 12 quarterfinal at Sprint Center, in Kansas City, Mo.

Hawks owe ISU one after stopping our home win streak. Looks like they will be waiting if we get past TCU
So the Big 12 thought they could play a game and then also have the 30 minutes in between games all done in 2 hours? You have 9 hours to get games in, and you still screw it up. Out game should have been a 230p.

Vietnam Economic Update for the Year 2011
On January 21, 2011, many members of the foreign business community in Vietnam gathered at an annual business luncheon event organized by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Ho Chi Minh City to discuss prospects for the year ahead. The participants agreed that overall, they are optimistic, but also wary of several uncertainties, reported Vietnam News Agency. The managing director of TNS Vietnam, Ralf Matthaes, who as also spoken to several groups arranged by www.business-in-asia.com during our trips to Vietnam, and was one of the key speakers at the event recently in HCMC, said Vietnam's market will continue to grow in 2011, but at a slower pace than pre-global recession times, reported the paper. Matthaes said his market research firm expects both exports and foreign investment to show stronger growth in the face of improved economic conditions. He warned that inflation and the global recession could be big problems for Vietnam.
More support industries needed This is a point made repeatedly over the last several years by www.business-in-asia.com. Many industries in Vietnam, especially producers of products for export, continue to rely on imported materials or spare parts. There are strong needs for stronger support industries in Vietnam. Increase in support industries would improve domestic competitive capacity, add value to local products, and be essential for strengthening Vietnam's competitiveness. The Vietnam News reported late last year that Vietnam's automotive industry has a localization strategy that requires the development of local support industries. So far, the localization rate in the industry remains low. Domestic content of vehicles made by Honda Vietnam, for example, is only 10% and those of Toyota Vietnam, only 7%. Remaining automakers average 2-4% with domestic content. The garment and footwear industries are facing the same problem - with over 80% of raw materials imported, reported the paper. The electronic industries urged for the development of support industries to focus on three major areas: mechanical, electrical and electronic spare parts. Director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade's Industrial Policy Research Institute, Phan Dang Tuat commented on the issue that Vietnam should learn from the experience of and seek support from neighboring countries like Japan and South Korea in developing support industries Other Problematic Factors The World Economic Forum index ranked 125 countries based on their performance in four main areas: market access, border administration, transport and communications infrastructure, and general business environment,. Th is report released in 2010, showed that Vietnam still has the following factors that burden doing business in the country, which includes weak infrastructure The
most problematic factors for doing business in Vietnam:

Poor public health: 0.1 Government Acknowledgement of the Troubles On January 14, 2011, Mr. Vo Hong Phuc, Minister of Planning and Investment, said in his "Review of 10 years of implementing the socio-economic development strategy and lessons for the coming decades" that even though over the past 10 years, Vietnam GDP reached 7.26% per year; growth quality, productivity, efficiency and the competitiveness of the economy is still low and macro balances are unstable. Export products are mostly raw materials and industrial goods are mainly manually made. Productivity is much lower than regional economies, for example 2.6 times and 4.3 times lower than China and Thailand respectively. Energy losses are huge. In order to turn out $1 of GDP, Vietnam uses about 4.65 times more power than Hong Kong, 2.10 times compared to South Korea and 1.69 times to Malaysia, reported Vietnam News Agency. Minister Vo Hong Phuc also commented that the infrastructure had developed slowly, with poor quality and a lack of synchrony that has hampered development. The transport network has yet to be completed and we have no express railway, modern sea port or airport. The power supply and network have not met the demands of production or the public. Our View: Minister Vo Hong Phuc gave a very honest and comprehensive view of the problems in Vietnam's economy and we share his assessment. In 2011, we believe the big story for Vietnam and also for China will be inflation and how the government deals with it. In Vietnam, weak infrastructure, the continued weakness of supporting industries and the need for more efforts in building qualified human resources all should hopefully prod the government to do more in these areas in 2011. Vietnam remains a favorable location for investment and many investors are looking at Vietnam as their chief option to China where prices are also rapidly increasing and the local currency, the RMB or Yuan, is likely to increase in the years ahead, something that has not been the case for the Vietnamese Dong.

A Dalit youth had to pay with his life for being in love with an upper caste girl belonging to this village in Jalandhar district, 110 km north of Chandigarh, on Friday.
Rakesh Kumar, 20, who was in a relationship with Bikramjit Kaur, 17, a Jat Sikh girl from the village, was allegedly done to death by one of her family members and his body was thrown into a nearby drain.
After questioning the girl's family, the district police recovered Kumar's decomposed body on Sunday morning. Kaur's paternal uncle Balwinder Singh (50) has been arrested and booked on the charge of murder.
Nurmahal Station House Officer Harpreet Singh said Kewal Singh, Kumar's father, had lodged a complaint on Saturday after his son went missing. He had accused the Kaur's family of foul play.
Kumar and Kaur had been lovers for past couple of years and had remained in touch despite opposition from her family, Kumar's maternal uncle Kulwant Singh said.
"Bikramjit rang up Rakesh on Friday and asked him to come to her house. When he reached there, he was beaten up by her relatives," he said.
Kulwant Singh said Kaur rang up Kumar's friends and appealed to them to save his life. But by the time Kumar's father reached the house, the girl's family had left the place with the Kumar's body, he said.

Here it is.. something that would help you..
- Download Bluestacks (Also available for Mac)
- Install it. Problems ?
Some tricks, scripts and mostly criticism.
This approach will start the hotspot instantaneously unlike connectify
That's it! No need of any 3rd party software which may slow down your PC. If this method fails I recommend you to try 'WiFi hotspot creator', light and simple before going back to 'Connectify'. Hope that helps
1. CC Proxy
This is usually helpful to give an authentication free proxy to mobiles and other gadgets. If it didn't work for you as is (I know it doesn't for Windows 8 users), Download the below application and follow the steps. Mobile users scroll down for settings.
Download from http://www.praveenkumar.co.in/#!/Downloads
File name : 'ccproxysetupfree7.2 .exe'
NOTE: Though it's a paid software. You can use the free version without registering.
This one helps you run your Metro apps (Windows 8) without proxy pains!!
This app can't do the job by itself. You need CC proxy setup done, for it to work
Download from http://www.praveenkumar.co.in/#!/Downloads
File name : 'EnableLoopBackUtility.exe'
I own no credit about this video or method. This routes all you PC traffic through it with no need of settings in other apps! You can use everything as though you don't have proxy! Its a paid app btw
Download from http://www.praveenkumar.co.in/#!/Downloads
File name : 'ProxifierSetup.exe'
NOTE: Its just the setup file. You need to either buy it or use a crack which you have to download seperately. IITB ppl can search for crack on DC as 'netmon proxy'
-Here is a video which guides you. This video made for IIT Bombay proxy server. You can do it similarly for yours
-No driver support presently
-It doesn't come with .Net activated. Many apps need it and if your behind some Proxy, Its really a pain in the ass. I had spent a lot of time to get it working!
-Photos, Reader and other windows apps are not smooth
-Windows apps eats up a lot of resources.
Any queries please post. Will try to get back with an answer asap.
Below is a summarized how-to for Ophcrack. However, I highly recommend my step by step guide with screenshots if you're not familiar with Windows password recovery software and need a more detailed walkthrough.
To get started, visit the Ophcrack site by clicking the Visit Their Web Site link above the User Reviews at the bottom of this page.
Once you're there, click on the Download ophcrack LiveCD button. On the next page, click on either the XP or Vista link to download the correct ISO image file for your operating system. Choose the Vista version for Windows 7 as well. This file may take some time to download.
An ISO file contains everything that should go on a CD or DVD in a single file. The Ophcrack LiveCD ISO file contains SliTaz (a Linux distribution), the Ophcrack software, and other files needed to recover passwords. Don't worry about the details – the Ophcrack LiveCD is fully automatic – no Linux experience required.
Important: Some antivirus programs unnecessarily identify one or both of two files included in Ophcrack as a Trojan or other kind of malware – samdump.dll and pwservice.exe. Both of these files are part of an open source program called pwdump which is included with Ophcrack and is necessary for it to work. The pwdump program is classified more or less as "evil" since it can be used to extract passwords… which of course is exactly what you're trying to do.
So don't worry about your antivirus program's flagging of these files (as long as it's just these files). Ignore it and continue on with the process:
After downloading, burn the Ophcrack ISO image to a CD. Burning an ISO file is a different than burning a normal file. Check out How to Burn an ISO Image File to a CD or DVD for more on that topic.
After burning, boot to the CD by rebooting your PC with the disc in the drive. Linux will load, Ophcrack will start, and the password recovery will begin.
Ophcrack will locate the users on your Windows system and begin cracking their passwords. The process is automatic – you don't usually need to type or click anything. When the passwords are displayed on screen, write them down.
Remove the CD, reset your computer and then log on to Windows with your newly recovered password!
Once you're back in to Windows, change your password to something you'll remember this time and then create a password reset disk to avoid ever having to do this again.

Paul Wezner, Executive Editor
To me, this is a really intriguing question (and just because I'm the one that came up with it), but because it takes so many variables into account - overall ability, likelihood of improvement in a focused role, skill-set aligned with a task, ability to stay healthy, as well as mindset. For Greene, if he could stay healthy, and be able to more consistently mix in pitches to be effective against left-handed hitters, could emerge as a middle of the rotation type starter. But those are two pretty big "if's", and Greene hasn't shown the ability to do either for the Tigers, yet. Farmer meanwhile has yet to be good at any point in time as a starter at the MLB level (.444 wOBA against), and has been inconsistent when pitching in relief (.359 wOBA against, but a 2.84 ERA so far in 2016). If you were looking to put each pitcher in the role that they'd potentially be most valuable in, slotting Greene in the rotation and Farmer in the bullpen makes the most logical sense. But, Farmer's ceiling in either role is likely limited, and Greene may never be able to stay healthy trying to pitch 200 innings in a season. On the other hand, Greene's sinker/cutter combo against right-handers could be deadly in late innings, and introducing his changeup to that mix against lefties could allow him to be more effective when he doesn't have to cycle through the lineup multiple times, where he quickly loses effectiveness - the first time through the order, batters post a .733 OPS against him. The second time, it increases nearly 40 points to .769 (and his K:BB ratio falls from 3:1 to 2:1), and the third time around, he gets hammered to the tune of a .984 OPS. So while conventional wisdom might say to leave Greene in the rotation and hope Farmer can play up in the bullpen... I'd push Greene to the bullpen and bet he could excel as a late-inning, high-leverage reliever.
Mark Anderson, Director of Scouting
This is actually a pretty tough question because of Greene's inability to stay healthy. Without that complication, Greene would be the obvious choice to stick in the rotation. Even with the durability concerns, I still go with Greene as a starter long term because of the higher grades his pitches earn, his ability to throw strikes, and what he has shown in terms of an ability to work through the lineup multiple times. Farmer lacks the impact stuff to stay in the rotation and his command makes it even more difficult for him to fill that role. I believe working Farmer in the bullpen allows his fastball to play up a tick and masks some of his command issues, giving him a viable big league role as a middle reliever. Neither pitcher is perfect and in reality, both could end up in the bullpen long term, but at this point in time, I'm sticking with Greene as a starter to maximize the potential upside.

Why is nobody utterly in awe of ghosts in "Over Her Dead Body" and so many other ghostcoms? Here is a supernatural manifestation from another realm, and everybody treats it as a plot device. The movie even drags in a Catholic priest, who seems bewilderingly ignorant of his church's beliefs about ghosts (they don't exist) and treats the situation as an opportunity for counseling.
The set-up: It's the wedding day of Henry and Kate (Paul Rudd and Eva Longoria Parker). She's a Type A perfectionist who races manically around the reception venue, straightening place-settings, adjusting decorations and flying into a rage at the ice sculptor (Stephen Root), who has delivered an ice angel -- without wings! She orders him to take it back and bring her one with wings, which, as everybody knows, all angels possess. He argues reasonably that you can't just stick wings on an ice sculpture. Then, in a tragic accident involving the sculpture, Kate is killed. Flash forward a decent amount of time, and Henry, still in mourning, is informed by his sister Chloe (Lindsay Sloane) that it's time for his life to begin again. He should start dating. He won't hear of it. He's still in love with Kate. She persuades him to visit Ashley (Lake Bell), a psychic she knows. He does so. Is she a real psychic? Sometimes. She begins to get vibes. So does he. Neither one needs to be psychic to realize they are falling in love.
I guess it's all right for psychics (as opposed to psychiatrists) to date their clients, but Ashley seeks advice. She gets it from Dan (Jason Biggs), her partner in a catering business. Also from Father Marks (William Morgan Sheppard), who also doesn't know that his church doesn't believe in psychics. (Was he ordained by mail order? The church teaches that consulting a psychic is a sin, although it doesn't totally rule out info from the other side, suggesting it could be disinformation from Satan.) Anyway ... eek! The ghost of Kate appears, none too pleased that another woman has designs on her man. She intends to sabotage their romance.
What happens then? Kate looks real, although she has no material presence and can walk through walls, etc. I always wonder why walls are meaningless to such beings but they never fall through floors. Do elevators go up without them? Never mind. The plot plays out as you would expect it to, as the amazing presence of a ghost is effortlessly absorbed into the formula plot. If it were me and a ghost, I'd put my personal agenda on hold and ask all sorts of questions about the afterlife. Wouldn't you?
Heaven, in this movie, is represented in the standard way: Everything is blindingly white, and everyone is garbed in white, even an angel (Kali Rocha), who has, by the way, no wings. Well, of course it doesn't. Being a pure spirit, it has no need to fly. Kate switches back to a conventional wardrobe for her sojourns here below.
Even in a movie with a ghost, the hardest thing to believe is a revelation that Dan makes to Ashley. They have worked together five years, and yet she is astonished. I will leave the revelation for you to discover, only adding that I believe it would be impossible for Dan to work five years in the catering industry without his secret being obvious to everyone.
Consider for a moment how this movie might play if it took itself seriously. Would it be better than as a comedy? I suspect so. Does the premise "her ghost turns up and fights the new romance" make you chuckle? Me, neither. It's the kind of angle that could only seem funny at a pitch meeting. Not only have we been there, done that, we didn't want to go there, do that in the first place.

Vintage Lure Game!
Haven't posted any old timers here for awhile- let's make this post a just-for-fun guessing game! I played this game many times when I would set up an informative display of old tackle at Boy Scout "Hunting & Fishing" days. Darn if those young kids didn't guess correctly all the time!
The Creek Chub Bait Company (Indiana) made their reputation in the 1920-30's by advertising "True To Nature Lures". They made and painted baits to look as closely as possible like the "critters" fish are used to feeding on! They named their lures according to what they imitated. Hence they called them the Crawdad, Chub Wiggler, Pikie Minnow, Gar Minnow, Sucker Minnow, Bug Wiggler, etc. Take a look at these-- big deep diving lip, beady eyes, beautiful colors, and a pair of pearl spinners on a shaft at the tail! Fishermen called them "coffee grinders" because they were tough to crank through the water- like grinding on an old time coffee grinder! Creek Chub had a particular "critter" in mind with this design in 1931. Guess what it was called! One word name, and remember- the name reflects what this was designed to imitate. Post your guesses here- I'll let you know when we have a winner! Good luck--- JoeW |

Congrats Jgreene49! The Creek Chub "Beetle" is what it was called!
They also made a slightly smaller version, with only one pearl tail spinner, called the "Baby Beetle"- that makes sense! I often wonder if some of these off-the-wall lures actually caught fish, but since Creek Chub made them from 1931 all the way until 1954, I guess someone was having luck with them! Hope you all had a little fun! Best----- JoeW |

That's OK, b or b. Jgreene49 was just taking advantage of a "creative learning enhancement opportunity". He should be given extra-credit. Best----- JoeW
