April 3, 2007
According to import records (via the Boston Globe), the wheat gluten was shipped to the United States from Nov. 3, 2006 to Jan. 23 of this year and contained "minimal labeling" to indicate whether it was intended for humans or animals. The vast majority went to pet food manufacturers and distributors, according to the FDA. But some of the processing plants that remain under FDA scrutiny make both human and pet food.
April 4, 2007
The pet food recall had sparked concerns over whether or not any of the contaminated wheat gluten had made it into human food. The Chinese wheat gluten imported by ChemNutra Inc. went to companies that make pet foods only, Stephen Miller, chief executive officer of the Las Vegas company, told The Associated Press.
In its first official statement regarding the Menu Foods pet food recall of cat and dog food, apparently poisoned by tainted wheat gluten purchased from a Chinese firm, Chinese officials are denying blame.
Also, the recent rash of pet food recalls has prompted some dog and cat pet owners to forsake wet and dry food & create their own pet food. Which is not advised.
At least 2,000 people are taking legal action against the manufacturer accused of providing contaminated pet food in the U.S. An Illinois attorney announced a class-action lawsuit Wednesday against Menu Foods.
April 5, 2007
The recall of pet foods and treats contaminated with an industrial chemical expanded today to include dog biscuits made by an Alabama company and sold by mega-retailer Wal-Mart. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the manufacturer, Sunshine Mills Inc., is recalling dog biscuits that have been made with imported Chinese wheat gluten.
Menu Foods expanded its original pet food recall to include a much broader range of dates and varieties today. The recall now covers "cuts and gravy"-style products made between Nov. 8 and March 6, Menu Foods said today.
April 6, 2007
Representing pet owners nationwide, Sacramento law firms Kershaw Cutter & Ratinoff, LLP and Wexler Toriseva Wallace, LLP, have filed the first Class Action lawsuit against Del Monte Foods (U.S. District Court, Central District of California, CV 07-1958-GHK AJWx) arising from its alleged sale of contaminated dog food and other pet foods to the public.
Del Monte Foods Co. on Friday widened its recall of dog treats that may have been tainted with contaminated wheat gluten from China. The range of Jerky Treats and Ol' Roy and Happy Tails Beef Flavor treats covered by a recall first announced March 31 now includes some private-label snacks, packages with different expiration dates
Consumers may contact the DelMonte at delmonte.com
China stated yesterday that it would be investigating allegations that a Chinese company exported tainted wheat gluten used in pet food linked to the deaths of more than a dozen cats and dogs in the United States.
This was the first time Chinese authorities officially responded to the uproar that has resulted in a ban on gluten imports from the Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. and a U.S. recall of nearly 100 brands of pet food.
"We are investigating this," Zeng Xing, an official with the press office of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, told The Associated Press.
April 7, 2007
A company in Western Washington is the latest to announce a major pet food recall. Ferndale-based TW Enterprises, the makers of American Bullie A.B. Pizzle Puppy Chews and Dog Chews, is recalling seven different types of pet chews due to concerns about salmonella contamination.
April 8, 2007
Update: T.W. Enterprises of Ferndale, Wash. today alerted consumers that it is recalling its entire line of dog and cat treats it markets because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.
April 9, 2007
The latest rash of recalls has prompted a Senate investigation. "This pet food crisis is about two things: It's about contaminated pet food and a food safety system that failed us," said Illinois Senator Dick Durbin on Saturday.
April 10, 2007
The larget pet food recall in history may have been intentionally caused, according to a new report. The FDA is reporting that it is a distinct possibility that pet cat and dog food linked to kidney failure was intentionally contaminated, reports WHAS.
Pet food contaminated with an industrial chemical may have sickened or killed 39,000 cats and dogs nationwide, based on an extrapolation from data released Monday by one of the nation's largest chains of veterinary hospitals, according to the Associated Press.
April 11, 2007
The pet food recall affecting Cat & Dog food has been expanded further Tuesday to include products made at a Canadian factory recently found to have used an ingredient tainted by an industrial chemical, repprts the AP.
Menu Foods had previously recalled only cat and dog food made at its plants in Kansas & New Jersey, saying they were its only facilities to have taken delivery of imported wheat gluten later found contaminated with melamine. However, Menu Foods uncovered on Monday that some of the tainted wheat gluten had made it to Canada.
April 12, 2007
The Senate of the U.S. will hold an open session oversight hearing this afternoon to examine the recent pet cat & dog food recall.
Senators will hear reportedly from veterinarians, experts on the pet food industry, FDA officials and pet food and nutrition experts. The session will focus on the ongoing investigation as well as the regulatory mechanisms that govern the pet food industry.
April 13, 2007
Pet cat & dog owners must continue to exercise caution as U.S. health officials have issued a warning that contaminated pet food is still being sold at some stores.
The FDA said it is urging all U.S. retailers to be vigilant in removing all products associated with the pet food recall, which began on March 16.
April 14, 2007
Pet cat & dog owners must continue to exercise caution as U.S. health officials have issued a warning that contaminated pet food is still being sold at some stores. In an effort to verify the effectiveness of the recall, FDA officials conducted approximately 400 checks of retail stores and discovered some companies have not removed all of the recalled products.
"FDA's priority is to make sure that cats and dogs have safe food to eat," said Dr. Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "Many of us are pet owners and animal lovers and we want pet owners to feel assured that we are doing everything we can to make sure that all contaminated food is off the shelves."
April 16, 2007
Natural Balance Pet Foods has recalled two kinds of pet food after receiving reports of cats & dogs throwing up and experiencing kidney problems, the Food and Drug Administration said on Monday.
The recall includes all date codes of Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Food. The company has not dtermined the cause of the problem, but said it is focused on one particular lot.
Natural Balance Pet Foods is working with the Food and Drug Administration to investigate the incident and is encouraging consumers not to feed either pet food product to their pets.
April 20, 2007
The Food and Drug Administration reportedly suspects the contaminated imported Chinese wheat gluten that has caused several pet food recalls may have been intentionally spiked with the harmful industrial chemical melamine.
FOX is reporting that the FDA suspects the wheat gluten may have been spiked in order to increase protein levels.
April 21, 2007
According to the Sacramento Bee, the chemical has made it into pig feed and perhaps onto California tables, with state agricultural officials announcing late Thursday they've quarantined a hog farm where lab tests showed melamine in pig urine.
"The farm is cooperating with us to determine the disposition of all animals that have left the premises since April 3," Richard Breitmeyer, the state veterinarian, said in a prepared statement. That's the first time melamine-tainted food is known to have been shipped to the farm. He said the 1,500-animal American Hog Farm was quarantined "out of an abundance of caution."
April 21, 2007
Royal Canin USA issued a statement on Friday that they are voluntarily recalling all of their dry pet food products containing rice protein concentrate after it found a melamine derivative in some products.
April 22, 2007
This week two additional pet food ingredients exported from China also tested positive for melamine. Rice protein concentrate was headed for five American pet food makers -- and corn gluten sent to South Africa -- now the gluten is being seen as the culprit behind the deaths of 30 dogs there
April 23, 2007
The Blue Buffalo Company has recalled Spa Select Kitten dry food with the printed instructions "Best Used By Mar. 07 08 B." Blue Buffalo received rice protein concentrate from Wilbur-Ellis, the same company that supplied this ingredient to Natural Balance. Subsequent testing indicated that the Blue Buffalo protein concentrate tested positive for melamine.
Also Tuesday, the FDA said another pet food company, SmartPak, had recalled products made with tainted rice protein concentrate. The company said the recall covered a single production run of its LiveSmart Weight Management Chicken and Brown Rice Dog Food.
April 25, 2007
It would appear that pet food poisoned with an industrial chemical was delivered to hog farms in as many as six U.S. states, federal health officials said on Tuesday. Some of The Hogs have been quarantined.
April 26, 2007
As part of this precautionary recall Drs. Foster & Smith requests that customers discontinue feeding the following products purchased during the periods listed, until all FDA testing is complete:
Adult Lite Dry Dog food item numbers 14180, 14262, 14263, or Adult Lite Dry Cat food item numbers 12855, 12856, 13864, 13865 purchased between January 22, 2007 and April 19th
Adult Lite Dry Dog food item numbers 14178 and 14179 purchased between February 2, 2007 and April 19, 2007
Only Adult Lite Dry Dog (Item #'s 14178, 14179, 14180, 14262, 14263) and Adult Dry Lite Cat foods (Item #'s 12855, 12856, 13864, 13865) are included in this precautionary recall.
Chenango Valley Pet Food products may be contaminated with melamine. Chenango Valley Pet Foods has voluntarily joined the pet food recall. Melamine is an industrial chemical used to make plastics and fertilizers that may lead to illness or fatalities in animals if consumed. The pet foods were sold to customers in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, who further sold the products to their customers through catalog mail-orders or retail outlets. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-610-821-0608.
April 27, 2007
On Friday, American Nutrition Inc. became the final of five pet food companies that Wilbur-Ellis supplied with the tainted ingredient to recall a variety of products. The products recalled were manufactured by American Nutrition for other independent companies, and American Nutrition brands were not part of the recall, the company said in a statement.
Food and Drug Administration officials searched an Emporia, Kan., pet food plant operated by Menu Foods and the Las Vegas offices of ChemNutra Inc., as part of an investigation into the widening recall of pet products, the companies disclosed on Friday.
April 28, 2007
Food and Drug Administration officials searched an Emporia, Kan., pet food plant operated by Menu Foods and the Las Vegas offices of ChemNutra Inc., as part of an investigation into the widening recall of pet products, the companies disclosed on Friday.
Menu Foods is responsible for many of the more than 100 brands of pet food recalled since March 16 because of contamination by the chemical melamine. ChemNutra supplied the manufacturer with wheat gluten, which has been identified as one of the two ingredients tainted by melamine used in recalled pet products.
Menu Foods says it is facing more than 50 lawsuits. In turn it has sued ChemNutra.
April 29, 2007
California officials have revealed that the contamination has made it into the human food chain: About 45 state residents ate pork from hogs that consumed animal feed laced with melamine from China.
April 29, 2007
Federal Officials raid a company in Las Vegas in relation to the nationwide pet cat and dog food recall.
Consumers should stop using affected products immediately! We can not reiterate enough the importance of seeking immediate medical care for your pet if they exhibit any of the following symptoms…loss of appetite, lethargy and/or vomiting. These symptoms may be signs of kidney / renal illness, which may be fatal.
So what symptoms are pet owners likely to see if they believe their pet is affected?
Anorexia, diarrhea, lethargy, vomiting, changes in water consumption and urination habits. The lethal feature of the toxin is kidney failure. If a pet owner suspects these symptoms may be linked to the food they may have fed their pet, they should have their veterinarian run a blood test and urinalysis, so as to check the integrity of the kidneys, reports Dr. Chris Duke.
Furthermore, the pet owner is asked to do the following:
* Retain food samples for analysis.
* Document product name, type of product and manufacturing information, saving purchase receipts, date codes or production lot numbers.
* Document product consumption - as in when the product was fed, time and relative onset of signs afterwards, and feeding methods (including other foods in the mix).

Thought this was interesting....:
JFK vs. The Federal Reserve
On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Common Law Institute has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.
When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in Courage - signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency - money - without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority:
"to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury."
This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assasinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America. "United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.
Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and the FRN was not backed by anything of instrinsic value. Executive Order 11110 should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level (virtually all of the nearly $9 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it. It would have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged interest to create new "money". Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and real value worth something.
Again, according to our own research, just five months after Kennedy was assasinated, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued either, and they were subsequently removed from circulation. Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money. It seems very apparent that President Kennedy challenged the "powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance". With true patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (Viet Nam); and, 2) the creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 11110 would have destroyed the profits and control of the private Federal Reserve Bank.
Executive Order 11110
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows:
SECTION 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is hereby further amended -
(a) By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph (j):
"(j) The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C. 821 (b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption," and
(b) By revoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof.
SECTION 2. The amendment made by this Order shall not affect any act done, or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not been made.

Without one bubble after another in the financial system, there is no way our current debt-based ecomony can avoid an eventual complete collapse. Either way we lose, and the bankers set it up that way by design.
Every time there has been a monetary collapse all throughout history (and there have been many) the gold and silver comes out of hiding and back into use... Every time. No exceptions.
I have to jump ship and will probably be away from the computer for a while... Maybe a week or more.

And The Fed Reserve Bank has lasted for darn near a hundred years. Is it really that bad?
I can't understand why folks put up so much resistance to the fact that gold and silver are money and have a much longer history of actually being money instead of just "commodities". We're living in a time in history that would be considered the exception rather than the rule when it comes to gold and silver coins being physically spent and actually changing hands for goods and services. Ignoring history doesn't negate it.
Granted, there is some utility to metals but as far as it representing the value of a barrel of pickles, what difference does it make if it is metal or paper?

HONOLULU (AP) — Navy officials said Wednesday night they're investigating a possible fuel leak in a tank at an underground facility built in Hawaii in the 1940s.
Navy officials said fuel operators found a discrepancy in the tank's levels on Monday. Manual measurements showed the tank possibly lost fuel, the Navy said.
Navy spokesman Tom Clements said it's not clear whether any aviation fuel was truly lost because measurements would take several days to complete. He said he did not know how much fuel was in the tank, though the 200-foot tall cylinder holds 12.6 million gallons.
When operators found the measurement discrepancy, they began transferring fuel immediately to another tank, a process that could take up to five days, Navy officials said.
The Navy said it informed state and local officials, and nearby wells were closed as a precaution. Local water officials were investigating separately, the Navy said.
The Red Hill Underground Fuel Storage Facility held fuel for American planes in World War II. It has 20 total tanks that have capacity to store a total of 252 million gallons, buried about 100 feet underground. The inland facility is about two miles north of Pearl Harbor, near a state prison and just east of a freeway that connects Honolulu with the suburb of Kaneohe on Oahu's windward coast.
The Navy started building the facility in 1940, less than one year before the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor that propelled the United States into World War II. It was built to protect fuel from being destroyed above ground.
Navy officials said the tank held JP-8 aviation fuel, made of mostly kerosene.

Now, switching over to the Search and Display track in hall 4, Cederic Chambaz is explaining the ethos behind Bing.
Microsoft's latest foray into the search market in opposition to Google, Cederic explains how Bing is not trying to replicate Google, but rather offer something completely different.
Every day Bing has a beautiful new photo homepage and the site's visual search is so much more than just an image search. Visual search allows you to narrow down your search using pictures and without typing a single word. For example, luxury holidays in May in France.
Bing is already the best search engine for conversions. Google is great for driving through traffic volume, but Bing is better at converting to custom. A UK Bing user is 49% more likely to purchase from a site than average.
But with such a tiny market share, how is Bing expanding? The first thing is the Bingification of Microsoft: Hotmail, MSN, Microsoft.com all powered by Bing. Even Facebook and Yahoo! are Bing partners now. Then there is also traditional advertising striving to raise awareness on TV and the like.
The Bing/Yahoo! link up is bringing Bing into some 40 markets and a global audience of 600+ million searchers. In short, it is an aggressive programme.
Next on stage is Mikkel DeMib, search evangelist. Mikkel has come to share his theory predicting what search engines are going to do in the future. The core of his argument is "do not optimise for search engines" – adding "optimise for web users"!
What has changed most about search is partly that algorithms have changed so much and are now so complicated they cannot be revere engineered easily. Spam protection is now much more advanced and harder to trick – but still not impossible. Although spams and cheats are quick to disappear.
Why not optimise for search engines any more? Well, for a start, the search engines these days are developing themselves to provide exactly what the user wants; so optimising for the user has sort of become optimising for the search engines too.

I hope this message finds everyone well. I'd like to begin a new Pharr reading group for others, like me, who either have no prior Greek, or who are willing to put up with those who have no prior Greek, & who would like to move at a rapid clip.
Here's how I plan to learn:
I'll not be trying to memorise paradigms for production, but only for recognition. (That is, for the beginning, I'd be happy enough to look at γαίᾱ, & recognise that it's the word for 'land' or 'earth' in dual nominative, accusative, & vocative rôles, but not be able to produce the nominative dual of γαῖα.) I think that this will make things move faster, & will be more exciting, as I'll be moving more quickly into reading Homer directly. I plan to work with an SRS system at first just for recognition (up thru lesson 47), & then for cloze-deletion (thru the end of Pharr). I will use the Greek-English translation exercises, but not the English-Greek. My goal with Pharr is only to be able to read Greek: I don't need to be able to produce it. Once I've exposed myself to a lot of Homer, I'll put some energy into making sure I can produce forms properly, but I'm a believer in the language-learning research that emphasises input & deprecates output for the initial stages of learning.
That said, I'm happy to adjust what I'd like to do in order to work with a group!
My ideal would be to do one lesson of Pharr every day, starting 22 April & completing Pharr on 7 July. I think this is doable, but this isn't a race: If it feels too fast after a few days, then I'm happy to slow down. My plan is to study actively for an hour each day, & then add to that whatever time it takes to review my SRS flashcards.
After Pharr, I'd like to complete the Iliad (perhaps first looking at Owen & Godspeed's vocabulary lists to see if there's anything not present in Pharr?), & then move on to the Odyssey & Hesiod.
Is anyone interested in joining me, at least for Pharr (if not for the continuing reading)?

Global Ocean Race news
New dates have been released for the next edition of the GOR making it a far more appealing option for my future schedule. Article from- http://www.sail-world.com/Australia/Global-Ocean-Race---Major-expansion-and-rescheduled-start-announced/103533 The Global Ocean Race (GOR), one of sailing's greatest challenges, is set to receive a major lift for its third round-the-world event for Class40 yachts, now scheduled to start in September 2014. Organisers of the Class40 Association-endorsed race announced today that in order to raise its profile and bring it the attention the event deserves, they have taken three important steps: • Brought in a team of experts in media, ocean racing promotion and marketing • Expanded the number of classes in the race, so that entries can now be single-handed, two-handed or fully-crewed • Delayed the start by one year to take full advantage of the new arrangements Meanwhile, they have agreed a number of sponsorship deals for the event and can already confirm a strong entry interest from at least eight solid Class40 projects. 'We have successfully completed two Class40 round-the-world races,' said Josh Hall, the GOR Race Director and CEO, 'but we believe it is time for the race to fully evolve. To that end, we have created a new management structure bringing in some of the most experienced people in media, sponsorship and the marketing of a truly global yacht racing event. To permit our new team the appropriate timeframe to realise the planned levels of media and funding, we have decided to delay the race until 2014.' Hall says that the new team's aim is to make round-the-world ocean racing more accessible. 'Our boats cost a fraction of those in the other major ocean races, opening up the thrill and adventure of sailing at speed through the Southern Ocean to a whole new generation of skippers and crew,' explains Hall. 'In times of recession, I believe this will attract both aspiring ocean sailors and fully-experienced yachtsmen. Our boats now regularly average the speeds that Maxi Yachts in the Whitbread were doing just over a decade ago. It offers the best of sailing on a budget that many more can afford. Crucially, it also allows sponsors, who have been leaving the sport due to the massive costs, to return.' Central to the new organisation will be a Steering Board, created to boost the organisation that supports the event. Members include a top TV producer who has overseen Olympic coverage for the BBC among others; a former CEO of three major broadcasting organisations; a leading public relations professional; a specialist in sponsorship fund raising and management and a commercial director with extensive international experience. Four of the five have already been contracted and each has considerable experience in ocean racing promotion, marketing and media coverage. The names of the Board and full details of the changes will be released in the New Year. 'These appointments bring one of the sport's most experienced and successful teams to the GOR and justify our delaying the start of the race,' added Hall. From the skippers planning to race, the overall reaction has been supportive. 'For the Celox Sailing Team, the rescheduling is a welcome opportunity for further training and refinement and we are delighted to hear of the new weight brought into the organisation,' said Akilaria Class40 Gust Buster skipper, Gottfried Possl.

In my 30 years experience, I have dealt with a number of life threatening incidents from preventable accidents in the home. The following is a brief list.
Miraculously, all of these children survived their injuries, some of them with scars, many requiring prolonged hospitalizations.
It is well known that more children die as a result of accidental injury than from all illnesses combined. Thirty years ago, The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Safety Council proposed the concept of Childproofing to teach parents how to avoid injury around the house. Most people know that they must try to make the environment in their home safe for their children. Electrical outlet covers and kinderlocks on cabinets have become standard in most households. There are, however, many more basic aspects of home safety that must be considered to effectively childproof a home. Here is a simple checklist.
1) Preventing chokingThe airway of a small child can be blocked completely by any small rounded object like a grape or round pieces of hot dogs. This category includes jellybeans and hard candies. All round foods must be cut in lengthwise pieces before giving them to a toddler. For these reasons these foods should not be given whole or in round pieces until the child is at least three years old. All coins, buttons, balloons, the wheels of toy cars and marbles can also block the airway. When any toy is labeled as a choking hazard it is to be avoided until age three.
Nuts, corn and raw carrots also often cause choking and the small pieces get into the airway. These do not usually cause total blockage of breathing, but they can get stuck in the bronchial tubes and often require endoscopic removal.
2) Preventing poisoningNever underestimate the ability of a quiet toddler to climb high and to find trouble! All medications, including vitamins and supplements, should be kept in a locked box or cabinet no matter how high the cabinet is. Cleaning solutions laundry products and cleaning sprays should never be kept under a sink. They also must be put in an inaccessible place.
When there are elderly adults in the house they must also take care to hide their medications and not leave them on their dressers or in pocketbooks. Some house plants are poisonous. Check yours to be sure they are safe if they are accidentally eaten.
3) Preventing fallsTo have a safe home you need proper equipment and a lot of common sense. Windows must have window guards. Window screens do not provide any protection at all. Stairways should be blocked by safety gates. Safety straps and even 5 point harnesses must be used when the child is in a high chair, especially if he or she is an escape artist. Bunk beds and toddler beds must have rails.
In general, never leave a baby on an elevated surface like a counter top or a bed without keeping one hand on him to prevent a fall. If you cannot do this put the baby on the floor. Coffee tables are low enough to cause serious injury when a child falls and strikes the edge with his head. Remove them when the babies are standing and walking and when kids are running around. Curious toddlers can climb on top of bookcases and even refrigerators. It is essential to always know exactly where your toddler is and what he is doing.
4) Preventing burnsRadiators and oven doors must have covers. A baby will use the hot radiator or oven door to support his weight as he tries to stand up and this can result in severe hand burns. The hot water heater in the house must be set at 120 - 125 degrees. If your tap water is hot enough to dissolve instant coffee it is too hot. Pot handles should be turned to the wall when you are cooking. Never hold a child while you cook or when you have a hot drink in your hand. Serving soup from a tureen at the table can prevent accidental burn while transporting the steaming soup bowls from the kitchen. Electrical outlets must have snugly fitted covers.
5) Preventing cuts and lacerationsKnives, scissors, food processor blades, sewing needles and other sharp objects must be made inaccessible. Discard empty cans in a safe container. Glass items should not be left in easy reach.
6) Preventing asphyxiationAll of the following can lead to serious injury or even death: Hinged toy boxes, tight spots (such as between beds or between the bed and the wall), ropes and blind cords, plastic dry cleaner bags, plastic bags, strings around the neck (including necklaces on babies and pacifiers on ribbons around the neck)
7) Preventing drowningA child should never be left alone in or near water even for a second. Besides bathtubs and swimming pools, even mop buckets and toilets can be dangerous. Babies and toddlers are top heavy and they can fall in head first if they reach for something in the water. Tubs and kiddie pools should be emptied after each use.
8) Dealing with accidental injuriesAll caregivers, parents and grandparents should learn basic first aid for cuts (pressure) and burns (cool water) and how to do a Heimlich maneuver. The few minutes time until EMS arrives can be critical to the outcome in a life threatening situation.

It's unclear how long Lulu Martinez will be held in immigration detention -- or if she'll be deported.
Still, the 23-year-old college student, brought to the United States illegally as a child, says that she and eight others who staged an unusual and brazen protest at the Nogales port of entry in Arizona are hanging on.
"Overall, we are all doing okay giving our very best," according to a post on Martinez's Facebook page. "I am so incredibly grateful for all the support and for all those who are coming together to bring us home."
Martinez, an Illinois resident who was brought into the United States illegally at age 3, voluntarily flew back across the border recently in a protest aimed at showcasing the thousands of people deported from the U.S. under the Obama administration.
Two other young adults also brought into the U.S. illegally -- Marco Saavedra, 23, of New York and Lizbeth Mateo, 29, of Los Angeles -- also crossed into Mexico to prepare for the protest.
On Monday the three protesters demanded to be legally admitted into the U.S. at a border crossing in Nogales.
Martinez was brought into United States when she was 3, as was Saavedra. Mateo made a desert crossing on foot with her mother when she was 10.
As part of the protest, the three were joined by six other people who were brought to this country illegally as children and spent most of their lives in the U.S. but had returned to Mexico more than a year ago, most of them for personal reasons.
The nine — now known as the "Dream 9" — were part of an event orchestrated by the National Immigrant Youth Alliance. The name comes from the Dream Act, which would provide a path to legalization for young immigrants brought into the country illegally.
They armed themselves with an attorney and legal documents. The first stack of papers consisted petitions for humanitarian parole, which would allow them into the country. The second set consisted of petitions for asylum.
U.S. immigration officials detained and questioned them, ultimately denying them humanitarian parole, according to activists in contact with the group's attorney.
That's when they entered their petitions for asylum and were transferred to a federal holding facility in Florence, about 60 miles southwest of Phoenix, activists said.
When they had approached the border crossing Monday morning, the nine wore mortar boards and graduation gowns. Later, they were seen in street clothes and handcuffs, being led to a government van.
Initially, organizers gave reports that 30 other young people had spontaneously joined the petitioners. On Tuesday, they said they were mistaken and that just four others had suddenly presented themselves at the border to U.S. officials. Their status was not known.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials refused to comment on individual cases. The federal agency, in a prepared statement, would only say: "Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, arriving individuals who are placed in expedited removal proceedings are subject to mandatory detention while their cases are reviewed."
According to immigration law, a person who files a petition for asylum can be detained until they are interviewed by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services officials. The agency could give each a notice to appear at an immigration hearing at a later time. After that, the nine could either be held in detention until their court date or be let out on parole until that time. Ultimately, they could also be deported.
On Tuesday morning, agents transferred the nine about 30 miles southwest to the Eloy Detention Center, where they dressed in green jumpsuits, underwent medical examinations, munched on bologna sandwiches and cornbread and visited with Mexican consulate officials, according to Martinez's Facebook page.
Although Martinez does not have access to the Internet, she called her friends, who wrote up the Facebook status on her behalf.
This week's border action highlights the plight of youth who are in the country illegally. Many have grown up in the U.S., have attended U.S. schools — Martinez attends the University of Illinois in Chicago — and many say they feel American in every way, except for their lack of legal status.
Martinez, Mateo and Saavedra have participated in acts of civil disobedience in the past. Immigration authorities offered Saavedra and Mateo the chance to apply for the Obama administration's deferred deportation program, which allows immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children to stay in the U.S., at least for two years.
Both declined, saying they wanted their cases adjudicated — a way of putting a spotlight on the nation's immigration system.

Strategic Tech Slideshow: 10 Epic Tech Failures of All Time
By Don Reisinger | Posted 11-08-2011
10 Epic Tech Failures of All Time
GatewayThere was a time when many believed that Gateway would be the biggest and most popular PC maker in the world. But soon after the company tried its luck with retail stores, and then quickly discovered that it didn't have the right enterprise strategy in place, it started to die. Gateway lives on today in name only. But the vast majority of PC buyers out there have no desire to buy its products.
When we think about the technology world, we often spend our time discussing the hugely popular products. We examine how Windows became so popular, and talk about the way in which the iPhone and iPad have changed the world. The products that fail, or in some way disappoint customers, are typically left out of discussions. Every now and again, though, it's worth examining those devices and services that couldn't make the grade, and discuss why they failed. Most of the items featured here managed to survive longer than celebrity Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage to Nets basketball player Kris Humphries. But all of them were ultimately doomed. In some cases, it was simply a matter of being ahead of the times. But for others, the failures were due mainly to the trouble the companies had in proving to customers -- both consumers and enterprise users -- that the products were worth trying out. Herewith, our list of 10 epic tech failures. Some may surprise you, and others may bring back ugly memories. Let's see what we can learn from these mistakes.

Online video giants working both behind and in front of the camera gathered today at the Digitas NewFront conference in New York City. While the main purpose of the conference is to unite creative talent with brands and advertisers looking to buy into online video, the high-minded conference takes a broader view than simply commerce.
During an early day session called "Stars of the Social Screens," makeup guru Michelle Phan, online superstar Felicia Day, and TV and Broadway superstar Kristin Chenoweth gathered to talk about what social media tips work for them. The panel was moderated by CNN's Piers Morgan, who seemed delighted by this new thing called social media.
Your latest video should be your best video, said Phan, who agreed with the idea that no matter how popular a person or brand might be online, they're only as good as their latest creation. What works in online video is storytelling she said. She also believes that staying on top online means staying on top of new social media platforms. This past year saw the sudden growth of Pinterest and Instagram, she noted.
"As a brand, it's so important to be on every single platform if you want to reach out to everyone," said Phan.
Day said that she likes to provide a service with her social media offerings, such as highlighting a worthwhile Kickstarter campaign. She knows her audience and knows what they'll appreciate.
"Being selfish on the web gets nobody anywhere," Day said.
Chenoweth noted that it's important to be authentic online, to show one's true self to followers. She also offered a tip on what not to do:
"I Ambien tweet sometimes which is no good. No no no no good," admitted Chenoweth. Later in the day, on another panel. Bravo's Andy Cohen noted that Chenoweth was worth following for exactly that reason.
In a panel called "Stuck at the Like," representatives of major brands told about their company's experiments in social media, and how to use it to engage consumers.
"If we want people to engage in the content, it has to be something of value," said Diego Scotti of J. Crew. He told of a low-cost experiment that his company ran, soliciting men's style questions for an in-house stylist That feature now draws over 1,500 comments per week, he said. The feature isn't expensive, but adds value to the site.
J. Crew isn't completely comfortable in the social space, Scotti admitted, something that certainly many companies can relate to. There are currently 13 blogs and websites about J. Crew, he said. While there's a lot of discussion of his brand, his company so far hasn't joined in. Execs are reluctant because of the possibility that people might post unflattering comments or photos about J. Crew products.
"We haven't figured out how to leverage that energy," Scotti said.
The value of experimentation was driven home by Christa Carone of Xerox, who told about her company's experiments with promoted tweets. The move drew some negative feedback, but also resulted in an uptick in key metrics. The definition of success varies with each experiment, she said.
"Right now we're all experimenting, right?" Carone asked.
While there are many tips to learn in online video and social media, being open to the value of experimentation is one of the best.

WESTERN TEAM ALLOWED IN IRAN FOR EXPEDITION. For the first time since 1979, a University of Chicago archaeological expedition has begun digging in southwest Iran, an area known as Khuzestan. The new research will provide additional information on a region where some of antiquity's most dramatic hydro-engineering projects were once located. This work also renews important research connections between Iran and the University that began with the work of an Oriental Institute team-the first Western team permitted to do work there-between World War I and World War II.

Recent reports on the losses sustained by the Iraq Museum collections indicate that a large proportion of objects known to be missing are seals. See, for example, the Bogdanos report of 10 September, 2003. As a consequence, we have focused some recent activity on the Oriental Instituite's Iraq Museum Database project and bibliographies on the issue of seals.
The first set of seal illustrations in the database is now available, the first component of the seals excavated by the Oriental Institute's Diyala Expedition. Eighty-nine of the 611 Diyala seals in Iraq Museum collections are now on-line. We hope to have the rest of them available on-line soon.
Also available is a Preliminary Bibliography Of Publications Documenting The Cylinder And Stamp Seals And Seal Impressions In The Collections Of The Iraq Museum Baghdad, and an Index by Museum Number of of objects published in the Preliminary Bibliography.
The purpose of both the database and the set of bibliographies is to help provide wide access to documentation on objects potentially missing from the Iraq Museum.
We appreciate the support of this project by the Oriental Institute and many colleagues and friends. We also appreciate and gratefully acknowledge the support and endorsement of Dr. Donny George Youkhanna, the new acting Director General of the Museums Department of the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage.
We also appreciate any effort you make to publicize this further.

Hoops in the city: Manchester's misplaced animusEDITORIAL
July 18. 2013 9:03PM
The ping-ping-ping of a basketball bouncing off an asphalt court, accompanied by the excited shouts of teammates and opponents, is part of the background music of summer. And it is disappearing from Manchester thanks to misguided aldermen.
Our City Matters columnist, Mark Hayward, wrote on Thursday of the city's vanishing basketball courts. In roughly the last decade, basketball hoops have disappeared from Livingston Park, Harriman Park, Enright Park and Howe Park. Ward 5 Alderman Ed Osborne wants to add Sheridan-Emmett Park (near Beech Street School) to the list.
Osborne told Hayward that his constituents complain about the noise basketball players make late at night. He said the players litter and damage the parks. But the city has a curfew for its parks. And littering and vandalism are illegal. When residents complain about these things, the right response is for the police to enforce city ordinances.
The response of Osborne and some other aldermen is to take the easy way out and remove the hoops. That response is lazy and destructive.
As Hayward wrote, "summer basketball binds people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities. People can play their hearts out and judge one another not for the color of their skin but for the content of their jump shot."
If you doubt this, just watch the daily pick-up games at the most popular East Side court, at the corner of Pine and Bridge streets. Players of all ages, races, incomes and skill levels play fast-paced, competitive games there. They come to play basketball. They end up forming social connections that transcend the boundaries created by our tendency to cluster together in neighborhoods filled with people of similar incomes, education levels and social status.
Basketball courts, in short, bring communities together. By removing them, aldermen are eroding the social fabric of the city one net at a time.

Bellator's Fifth Season is Coming
Above is the decidedly high-def looking promo for Bellator's fifth season, kicking off on September 10th in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I mention the spiffyness of the visuals because one of the few complaints that I've ever leveled at BFC is the standard definition broadcasting. When the trailer was released a few weeks ago, I honestly thought it was just a little accidental irony.
Nope. A couple of days ago, it was announced that Bellator season five tournaments will be broadcast in HD baby! Now go dig out your cable programming guide and try to determine if you have EPIX. I've never heard of it, but apparently it's an actual channel somewhere, so I'm going to call DISH Network and start offering them money until they can confirm that I'll see Bellator in 1080p.
If you're not excited about the upcoming season, watch that video again. You may not realize it, but that's Bruce Lee talking about being like water. It's some deep philosophical type shit, and it's pretty much him guaranteeing that he's going to join a tournament and wreck shop. Seeing the founder of Jeet Kun Do step away from his acting career and FINALLY step into the cage is going to be sick, and I'm looking forward to putting an end to all that speculation about how good he'd be.
(For an actual preview of two of the four planned tournaments this season, come on in past the jump.)Read More DIGG THIS
