MSF provides assistance to refugees living in overcrowded camps in Tanzania.
According to figures from the UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, by the end of 2016 Tanzania was hosting approximately 280,000 refugees, mainly from Burundi. Due to ongoing unrest in the neighbouring country, people continued to pour across the border and by December over 10,000 were arriving each month. This put additional pressure on the already full and overstretched camps, and the humanitarian organisations working there struggled to provide adequate shelter, water and sanitation. Housing new arrivals in overcrowded and unhygienic communal shelters exacerbated the spread of diseases, particularly malaria, diarrhoea and respiratory tract infections.
To meet the increased demand for care, MSF expanded its services across the three camps – Nyarugusu, Nduta and Mtendeli. This included restructuring existing facilities in Nyarugusu and Nduta to respond to the huge number of patients suffering from malaria. In Mtendeli camp, MSF was supplying around 428,000 litres of water daily and providing community health surveillance until September 2016, when both these activities were handed over.
In September, in the aftermath of a severe earthquake near the northern town of Bukoba, MSF donated emergency medical supplies to help the local hospital treat the injured.
Nyarugusu refugee camp
MSF continued to support the intensive therapeutic feeding centre at the camp hospital, treating 175 patients before handing it over to the Tanzanian Red Cross in March. MSF's mobile clinics, which conducted outpatient consultations and nutrition programmes, were also phased out. However, three mobile clinics aimed specifically at reducing infection and mortality from malaria were still deployed. A 40-bed stabilisation unit and a blood bank were also established. In 2016, MSF carried out 64,450 outpatient consultations, of which 46,380 were for malaria, and distributed 65,000 mosquito nets. Teams also conducted 24,550 mental health consultations and supported water and sanitation activities, distributing a total of 65.7 million litres of water by December.
Nduta refugee camp
MSF is the main healthcare provider in Nduta camp and the only organisation offering a full range of medical services, including reproductive healthcare, treatment for malnutrition and care for victims of sexual violence. In 2016, the team refurbished and expanded the 120-bed hospital, and ran five health posts, conducting medical screenings, vaccinations and referrals, and offering mental health support. Over the course of the year, staff carried out 186,345 outpatient consultations, assisted over 3,000 deliveries, and treated almost 44,260 people for malaria. In addition, they conducted health promotion and water and sanitation activities in the camp, distributing 41,973 mosquito nets and 70.4 million litres of water between January and October.

Patient story
Ramadhani Lubunga – 26, Burundian refugee
"I've been living in Nyarugusu for six months but have actually spent most of my life as a refugee: I grew up in another camp in Tanzania after my parents and I were forced to flee our country. I still find the conditions here difficult, though – it's a struggle to get enough food and water and living in a tent wears you down. I've just been diagnosed with malaria and I can't stop shivering and shaking. I have a headache and nausea and feel very cold. I'm also worried about my wife. She is four months pregnant but has been having stomach pains and is now in the camp hospital. I'm scared about what might happen to our unborn baby. Refugees never have a good life, but it's better than living in fear at home. I can't and won't go back home. I will stay in this camp until I die."

Friday Odds And Ends
Starting the fourth month of 2014. Wow, time flies when you're having rum. Of course, up here the election season is in full swing (hence the need for rum) due to the fact that Montana is one of the battleground states for the Senate. I, however, have managed to miss the majority of the commercials, so far.
This is a good thing.
I know it won't last, though, as I'll be watching more tv now that baseball season has started. But! and this is a big but (no, not that big butt), I'll be watching Georgia ads instead of the locals, because I watch the Braves on their channels.
Still, you can't avoid it all all the time, because there are those in this country for whom the desire to control the narrative has become an all-consuming obsession to control every aspect of not just their lives, but every other citizen as well. And when many such people can be found in prominence on, and/or in control of, many of the major media sources within the country, not only can you not avoid them for long, but they've also become a potential, and considerable, threat to anyone that dares think otherwise.
Especially if you're a Republican Senator from Texas.
"Othering is a way of defining and securing one's own positive identity through the stigmatization of an "other." Whatever the markers of social differentiation that shape the meaning of "us" and "them," whether they are racial, geographic, ethnic, economic or ideological, there is always the danger that they will become the basis for a self-affirmation that depends upon the denigration of the other group."
What follows is a small, yet disgusting sample of what one person - yes, a politician, yes, a Rethuglican, yes, even a Texan, but still an American citizen - endures simply for having the *audacity* to disagree with the Kollektive.
Ace put summed it up nicely.
"But Progressives have decided, collectively, to just treat their fellow Americans as the dehumanized Other 24/7. Not just before an election, mind you, but every single day of every single year.
And they do so while chanting "No H8," their limited intellects, conditioned by those who manipulate them into hatred, not capable of seeing the irony."
It's enough to make me drink...
Amongst the many feeds and bookmarks the Dark Lord has on her computer are several written by people who not hold conservative values, but also have black skin...well, there are a couple who are more brown than black, but I digress...
While they are all fine writers, I also appreciate the articles they find by other people with black skin. It's a reassurance to know that there are many such people in this country who value hard work; duty to God, family and country before themselves; and many other conservative/responsible values that I share. For the longest time after the selection of Xerxes I worried about the tribalism he would try to bring about, and I'm sad to say my hunch was spot on. However, slowly, quietly, some people with black skin began to speak out against what they see as the wrong direction not only for their country, but also for others with black skin.
This young woman, for instance, has written a post/article/editorial that I would never have found were it not for my feed from Kevin Jackson's The Black Sphere.
"Recently, many black people have questioned my blackness. Apparently, for some, I'm not black enough.
But, what makes the claim so bogus to me is that our bi-racial president has been accepted as black by the black masses, even though his mother is white and he was raised by his white grandparents.
Some people have said what makes a person black is "the struggle." What struggle, I ask? What more does Obama know about struggle than me? For a very brief time he lived in Indonesia, but, even in Indonesia, he lived a fairly comfortable life.
Here, in America, he has lived a privileged life, gone to top notch schools and colleges—and he hasn't even spent enough time around black people to pick up, as one Democratic politician put it, a so-called "negro dialect."
I, on the other hand, know a little bit about struggle. My family was poor by America's standards, as were many other black, white, Hispanic, and "other" families that I know. We didn't have many luxuries. We just had the basics. My family had been on food stamps before there was such thing as an EBT card. For years, we received our monthly allotment of government cheese, rice, boxed potato flakes, powdered milk, and dry cereal from our government taskmasters, in exchange for a small slice of our privacy and a big chunk of our dignity.
I know a little bit about struggle. I've lived in crime-ridden and poor Rochester, N.Y. neighborhoods. For those who are familiar with the area, I have lived on both the east side and the west side.
What does Obama know about the likes of Treyer St., Fourth St., Hoeltzer St., Clifford Ave., Flint St., Bronson Ave., Jefferson Ave., St. Simons Terrace, Fight Square, Fight Village, and Orleans St.? Those were my hoods.
I know a little about struggle. I've endured both racial and gender-based discrimination.
I've been sexually harassed, disrespected, spit upon, and called names.
I know something about struggle.
So, if I have the same sufferings and struggles of other blacks in America, why is my blackness in question?"
Please go read the rest for she asks a very important question for today's *conversation about skin color* - yes, I refuse to say "race" because the person with black skin, brown skin, slanted eyes, curly hair or predominate nose is part of the same Human race as the Dark Lord.
However, there is another question standing over in the corner of this conversation that nobody is willing to ask: Why is it that only people with black skin can talk about what's gone wrong within their community? No one seems to have a problem telling any of the sub-section of white communities what color to crap and how high to jump at the latest perceived *dog whistle*. This country belongs to every American, and having a statistically small community so predominately represented in crime, poverty, unemployment and drug statistics should be of concern to everyone in the country - not a skeleton in the closet that only those with black skin, the self-annointed, self-righteous or the previously mentioned enemediantic sycophants are allowed to pull out and dust off when it suits their agenda du jour.

Hi Sly,
I'll respectfully disagree; I've found, at great length and detail, that rum slows time and beeer speeds time. This is especially true of the rum is properly sipped, and the beer properly guzzled.
and don't worry too much about the 'othering' crowd; they are busy mocking themselves. GOP should be paying for ads that merely show those guys speaking their own words.
BTW, a few of the less desirable individuals I've met over time has assured me that the Zombies will definitely avoid Las Vegas; they fear acquiring an even worse condition from the local pros.
you and MLK are quite correct; superficial physical differences like skin pigment do not define people. we are defined by our own chosen thoughts and actions; character in his words.
Very Best Regards,
and hope and kindness for the Princess.

"This is especially true of the rum is properly sipped, and the beer properly guzzled."
And vice versa, sir. Especially frozen rum poured over ice in a chilled glass. Trust me, that'll get fly timing.
As for the "othering" crowd, they concern me because of the power they have over the low-information voters that put the man-child, who couldn't get a security clearance of any kind on his own if he tried, in charge of the mightiest military on the planet. It bothers me because in today's *Instant Society*, the mob mentality is easily fed in 140 characters...and it moves across the country in literal nanoseconds. Believe me, in today's day and age, the Truth sometimes ain't got a shot at waking up before the Lie has circled the planet....twice. That's a lotta influence on people who haven't been taught to think for themselves.
And that, sir, bothers me...a lot.
"you and MLK are quite correct; superficial physical differences like skin pigment do not define people. we are defined by our own chosen thoughts and actions; character in his words."
Thank you, CAPT, I agree with you completely. 0>;~} It is our actions defined by our character that define us. It is something I've always tried to live by, even with very prejudiced Mountain Willaim parents, and something I've made sure to teach the VES as we were helping to write her tabula rosa.

All Product Details
As a child, Inga Markovits dreamt of stealing and reading every letter contained in a mailbox at a busy intersection of her town in order to learn what life is all about. When, decades later, working as a legal historian, she tracked down the almost complete archive of a former East German trial court, she knew that she had finally found her mailbox. Combining her work in this extraordinary archive with interviews of former plaintiffs and defendants, judges and prosecutors, government and party functionaries, and Stasi collaborators, all in the little town she calls "Lüritz," Markovits has written a remarkable grassroots history of a legal system that set out with the utopian hopes of a few and ended in the anger and disappointment of the many. This is a story of ordinary men and women who experienced Socialist law firsthand--people who applied and used the law, trusted and resented it, manipulated and broke it, and feared and opposed it, but who all dealt with it in ways that help us understand what it meant to be a citizen in a twentieth-century Socialist state, what "Socialist justice" aimed to do, and how, in the end, it failed. Brimming with human stories of obedience and resistance, endurance and cunning, and cruelty and grief, Justice in Lüritz is ultimately a book about much more than the law, or Socialism, or East Germany.
"Justice in Lüritz provides a fascinating perspective on everyday life in East Germany--its petty squabbles, its dictatorial character, and its citizens' efforts to carve out a space for themselves. Engagingly written and discerning, this is a major accomplishment."--Konrad H. Jarausch, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"This is a marvelous book. It is beautifully written--Markovits has a wonderful, elegant, moving style; and the whole enterprise is informed by a passion for understanding, a gift for generalization, and a deep knowledge of the society and its people. It is a delight to read. There is nothing quite like this book in the literature."--Lawrence M. Friedman, Stanford Law School

Don't you want to just reach out and scratch her behind the ears?!?! It's a nice zoo overall. It's a bit small but for comparison the last zoo I went to was in San Diego and that rocked. Here's Will pretending to be a penguin:
I was hoping to finish that lace scarf but it just didn't happen. I did get done 2 more dishcloths and started one more - very exciting stuff to blog about. I'm going to cast on a sock just to mix it up a little for tonight's knitting club get together.
The best part of vacation was spending a ton of time with The Big Guy. He is just our whole world and I can't get enough of him. I'm going through major withdrawal today after having a whole week with him. I know that daycare/school is good for him but man, Mondays suck.

Crocheted cephalopod!
Meet squiddity's new mascot! Alison made him/her/it for me as a present to celebrate the fact that I've (finally) finished my M.A. (This degree doesn't seem like as big a deal as it may sound, given that 1. the actual graduation isn't till April, 2. I'm currently in the second year of my Ph.D. and up to my neck in coursework and grading, and 3. it's, erm, my second M.A. But still.) I have attempted to simulate the squid's gloomy underwater habitat by surrounding it with dark-coloured library books and photographing it at night.
The squidlet needs a name! Any suggestions?

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley on Friday encouraged Troy University graduates to apply their knowledge and skill to make a difference in their communities.
Speaking to nearly 650 students taking part in Friday's spring commencement ceremony in Trojan Arena, Gov. Bentley told graduates they were embarking on a "new journey."
"This is a great accomplishment to receive your diploma after years of hard work," he said. "Now, you enter the next phase of your life, the next challenge, the next opportunity. No matter where you go from here, you have the chance and you can make the choice to be what I like to call a servant leader."
Gov. Bentley said true leadership includes remaining true to one's values and core principles.
"In order to be a leader, you must be a follower," he said. "Not a follower of other people, but rather a follower of principles. The most effective leaders adhere to a core set of values that shape every decision they make. Such values include keeping your word and the willingness to make difficult decisions, even if you know those decisions might be unpopular."
Gov. Bentley told graduates that they emerge with their diplomas in some very challenging times.
"Our nation and our state face unique and difficult circumstances. We have the hope of a brighter future, but we know that some difficult times still lie ahead," he said. "As you go forward from here, I want to encourage you to stand strong, to adhere to your values and to assume the role of a servant leader."
The spring graduating class included some 915 students who filed intents to graduate, including some 825 from the Troy Campus alone. Students participating in Friday's ceremony represented 27 states and 14 countries.
Following the awarding of diplomas, Gov. Bentley was presented with an honorary doctorate by TROY Chancellor Jack Hawkins, Jr. and Gerald O. Dial, President Pro Tem of the University's Board of Trustees.

To combat this loss of information, I have started public databases of catalog homes. Additionally, with this website, I hope to capture much of the historical information about catalog homes in the Chicago area.
One owner of an Aladdin catalog home has managed to capture his home's history in a different, straightforward way.
Chet Joppich, of Bay City, Michigan, owns an Aladdin LaSalle kit house that was built in 1915.
|2108 Center Ave., Bay City, MI.
|The LaSalle from the 1917 Aladdin Homes catalog.
The LaSalle was offered from 1915 to 1917. In later years, Aladdin sold a similar plan called the Colonial.
This stucco house has steps leading up to a semicircle porch. It has the original Doric columns, but the original wooden balustrade on the porch roof has been replaced by an iron one. The LaSalle is a two-and-a-half story Colonial with a huge living room.
About 10 years ago, Chet decided to inscribe the important information about his house on the front sidewalk. If only all owners of catalog homes had the foresight to do this--my job would be a lot easier!
|"LaSalle by Aladdin Homes" and the build date are in the sidewalk. Photo courtesy of Chet Joppich.

It's the holidays. The post office gets very busy. We all spend too much money and eat too much. Some of us have a great time. Some of us have a lousy time. And then we throw away hundreds of millions of tons of trash.
It's the decorations. It's the packaging the decorations come in. It's the packaging the presents you buy come in. The packaging you buy to send presents in. The wrapping paper. The season's greetings cards. The tree. The gimmicky presents you buy that get tossed within the first two weeks.
It certainly adds up in a hurry.
Solid waste experts don't know exactly how much extra trash is generated over the holidays, but they do know it's a lot -- a "significant blip in the numbers," as a cautious statistician put it. Trash haulers earn their Christmas tips, and so do postal carriers, who deliver an estimated 3.3 billion extra pieces of holiday mail (though I think you're not supposed to tip them with anything more substantial than fruitcake).

Here's a look at Day 5:
It seems this Christmas has gotten away from me so no Christmas cards but I will make some fun tags. This page shows a few examples.
I used Kraft paper which I love to wrap gifts in and used a large doily as a base layer. Then added the tags on top and stamped in the middle. Added a diecut, flair and the scripture 1 John 5:11.
I edged the pre-printed tags, layered a doily held with washi and added my wood embellishments.
Things used for this years Album
8 x 8 We R Memory Keepers Album in Red( Discontinued I believe)

I am new with xampp. its my first time using this.
I'm trying to creating a virtual directory where I can run and test my website locally. I know I can stick my work inside the default virtual directory D:\xampp\htdocs and do my work there but I rather create my own directories.
anyways I opened up httpd-vhosts.conf file in D:\xampp\apache\conf\extra and added a virtual directory like this:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot D:/xampp/htdocs/
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin admin@localhost
<VirtualHost local.holyghostit.com:80>
DocumentRoot D:/AAWebsiteProjects/holyghostit/
ServerName local.holyghostit
ServerAdmin email@example.com
<Directory "D:/AAWebsiteProjects/holyghostit/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
the part in orange gets added once. no changing done there. the blue part is the default local directory in xampp/htdocs which I am not wanting to use to as my workspace.
the red part is where I am stuck.
my project is located in D:\WebsiteProjects\holyghostit
are my declarations correct in the red part?
Next thing I did was I edited httpd.conf in D:\xampp\apache\conf
I replaced:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Then finally I edited the hosts file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
I added this to the bottom of the file:
127.0.0.1 local.holyghostit.com
So are my configurations correct?
And if I want to browse my website, what do I type into the url?
my computer is named msi
do I type:
because I've tried different combinations and nothing seems to be working. Can someone help please.

30th January 2013 | Welcome to the nineth installment of Trek It Out!
"The Cylons were created by man. They rebelled. They evolved. They look and feel human. Some are programmed to think they are human. There are many copies. And they have a plan." — words that should be familiar to any self-respecting sci-fi fan. This week, Elijah and Tony talk to none other than Richard Hatch, best known for his portrayal as Capt. Apollo in the original Battlestar Galactica, and also as Tom Zarek in the 2003 Syfy/Ronald D Moore reimagining, but also as a teacher and author of the Great War of Magellan. Come and join us as we chat to Richard about where he draws his inspiration for his roles, creation of a unique universe, his thoughts on Zarek's true nature, and where you can find out more about Richard's latest appearances. So say we all.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or via our comment from. We love to hear from you! Also, be sure to share this by clicking on one of the buttons below!

I still remember my cardboard viper control board i got from mail order. The original show was so compelling because of the main actors, primarily the 4 main men. They worked together and meshed so well, you really wanted to see how they would manage getting through this.

Blog by Mori Hitchcock
The phrase "Ferguson is Everywhere" was always more than a catchy slogan or design for a t-shirt. It was a reminder that the frustration which boiled to the surface during the summer of 2014 was the culmination of years of anger and was endemic to the Black experience. It meant that any city could be Ferguson because throughout this country, black people live in fear that at any moment a run-in with the cops could turn fatal. It was an expression that called to mind the fact that our oppression does not exist in isolation from one another and that the reverberations of our feet marching and voices chanting could wake up a sleeping nation and put white folks on notice.
Similar to this phrase, was the chant "Whose Street? Our Streets;" a call-and-response chant that called to mind our ancestors and fostered a sense of unity and ownership amongst protestors. I remember the first time I participated in that chant, we had organized a bus trip from my college in the middle of Pennsylvania to the streets of New York for the Millions March (which was coincidentally planned by one of our guests today, Sabaah) and it electrified me. It's one of those chants that makes you really look at the country as yours, perhaps for the first time. Sabaah Folayan, an activist from New York who came to Ferguson in the wake of Michael Brown Jr's murder, directs the about to be released film entitled "Whose Streets?" Using the "call" portion of the chant as the title, this film attempts to tell the story of the protests and to assist the activists in sharing their own stories. In our podcast, Sabaah talks about how misrepresented the protests were by the media and how they were covered as violent clashes, while paying little attention the police violence that spurred them. Sabaah describes how she hopes to show the "courage, beauty, and love that she encountered on the front lines"; qualities that she believed to be inherent and shared between the black folks in every corner of the struggle.
When the white, mainstream media continues to fail our people by ignoring our stories or misrepresenting our demands, it is our responsibility to put out the work that challenges these narratives. Sabaah is doing just that, through a film set to premiere at Sundance this year with a story that goes beyond the tanks and tear gas, and beyond the looting and rioting, to the heart of the struggle. Sabaah and Taylor Payne, our second guest, are perfect examples of stepping outside of the realm of racist, hetero - patriarchal capitalism and mainstream materialism to use their art for black liberation.
Taylor, who I had the pleasure of meeting last Spring, just complete a series of knitting meet-ups on the east coast teaching, beginning knitters, friends and activists how to knit for black liberation. Her entire trip was funded by her work for The Yarn Mission, which provides anyone with interest in knitting and the values of Yarn Mission to do the same. She taught me how to knit and has not only opened up a new hobby/skill for me but has also taught me (and others) how to divest from the chains of capitalism.
Both of these black women have devoted their time to uplifting our experiences and marginalized voices to show us how we offer a narrative of hope, outside of the structures that oppress us.

Fiction has always reflected culture. Our heroes were once purely ideals—the heroes of mythology, godlike, and often of divine ancestry, were impossibly larger-than-life, doing the kind of good that we mortals couldn't. They were men like Hercules, Odysseus, and Achilles—idealized examples of what men dreamt of being, but could never realistically emulate. Over time, our heroes fell from heaven, becoming mortal, becoming psychologically complex, fearing, doubting, and yes—sometimes even failing. We idolized them in their success, and learned from their mistakes. Still, they represented ideals larger than themselves—characters like Superman brought hope while still being relatable and down-to-earth. But the hero of the recent few decades is a different creature altogether.
The antihero has arisen in contemporary American culture in the form of the Walter Whites and the Tony Sopranos of the fictional world. No longer figures to be looked up to, these fictional characters are often reprehensible, making choices that audiences look down on. The shift to a postmodern culture which is skeptical of established concepts like "goodness" and "truth" is acted out through these figures—figures that are often praised for being more realistic and representative than any that have come before. Indeed, characters who still display that solid, heroic, goodness are often branded as banal and unrealistic.
This shift is worthy of examination—there is more to it than a simple desire for realism in our fiction. This shift is a symptom of a larger cultural movement—a movement which extends into all parts of life, including politics. We must ask ourselves: what are the consequences of losing our heroes, of no longer having an established set of ideals? What does it say of us that American cultural icons of righteousness like Superman are ridiculed, while, in the real world, a very different sort of icon—Donald Trump—is rapidly ascending to power and fame? To answer this, we should examine both.
Few fictional characters hold the power that Superman does, in both a physical and cultural sense. He is a humble immigrant—a stranger from the heavens who fell not into grandeur, but into a cornfield in rural Kansas, and was raised by a pair of unassuming, humble parents in the heartland of America. The character of Superman was conceived in 1938 by two men from Cleveland—Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. It was a difficult time for America, with economic collapse threatening, unemployment rampant, the rise of the Mob looming, and World War II on the horizon. A sense of helplessness, particularly among men, prevailed. Americans, however, held to hope, and looked to a new symbol—the Man of Steel. Through him the average American no longer felt quite so helpless. They felt a kinship with this Superman; because of his humble, American roots, he was one of them, and he was for them. Superman's cultural strength lies not in his identity as the alien and epitome of biological perfection, Kal-El, son of Krypton, but because, more than anything, he is Clark Kent, of Kansas—a gentle, kind, and humble man who gets excited about Christmas, cares for others, and no matter how much world-shattering power he might be gifted with, he uses it with a sense of restraint, empathy, and responsibility toward his fellow man.
J.P. Wiliams, of the Department of Speech Communication and Journalism at Wayne State University, writes that "Embedded within the content of television programs, films, comic books, and other forms of mass entertainment are assumptions regarding how members of a society should conduct their lives." Superman, for much of the character's life, preserved and represented the best of the American character in a time when society felt lost, and his ethical grounding was a lighthouse in a stormy sea for many readers. America, one of the most powerful nations in the world, had the responsibility to use that power well—to use it with the same continual responsibility and empathy that Superman used his.
But the Man of Steel fell from favor. The sales of his comics have plummeted over the past two decades, and the character, once idolized, now often elicits sniggers and scornful words, both in the fictional world he inhabits, and in the real world of readers. Superman is now often labeled as a part of a problematic narrative in fiction—characters that are claimed to represent a universal "best way to live." These characters, and their respect for authority and their strong, unshakable moral compasses, are now regarded with suspicion, because culture has shifted its focus from the universal to the personal—it's all about the Self.
Mirroring the culture that spawns it, fiction has shifted its focus to the antihero—heroes who often have more in common with classical villains, who do not look to authority for guidance, but only to themselves and their own varied personal codes. For instance, the darker character of Batman, whose comic book sales have skyrocketed throughout the past decade, even as Superman's declined, follows a code of ethics which does not require him to work within the law, and his stories depict a world in which authorities are often corrupt and not worth looking up to. So why the shift in sales between the two characters?

Cubs 1, Astros 0
Notes: The Cubs homered for the 11th consecutive game, their longest streak since going deep in 12 straight in September 2005. ... Juan Pierre extended his road hitting streak to 19 games. ... With Pierre on second in the first inning, Andy Pettitte threw to Chris Burke, the second baseman, for a pickoff try and the ball skipped into center field for an error. It was Houston's 56th error of the season, the fewest in the NL, and only its ninth since the All-Star break, the lowest total in the majors. ... Astros CF Willy Taveras beat out a bunt in the seventh inning to extend his hitting streak to 19 games.
Marlins 15, Dodgers 4
LOS ANGELES Â? Miguel Cabrera hit two homers and drove in five runs, Cody Ross hurt his former team with four RBIs before getting injured and Florida snapped the DodgersÂ? six-game winning streak.
The Dodgers had been on the clubÂ?s best run in 107 years, winning 17 of their previous 18 games.
Brewers 5, Pirates 2
PITTSBURGH Â? David BellÂ?s bases-loaded single, his fourth hit of the game, drove in two runs in a three-run 13th inning and Milwaukee rallied to beat Pittsburgh.
Six relievers combined to pitch seven shutout innings for the Brewers.
Phillies 3, Mets 0
PHILADELPHIA Â? Jon Lieber pitched his first shutout in more than five years, Chris Coste hit a two-run homer and Philadelphia won its third straight over the Mets.
Seemingly out of the playoff picture on July 30 after trading Bobby Abreu as part of a roster overhaul, the Phillies began the day only 2½ games behind Cincinnati in the NL wild-card race and showed some life against the best team in the league.
Philadelphia lost two of three to the Reds last weekend, but took the first three games of this four-game set with sharp pitching and big hits. The Phillies thumped the Mets by a combined 24-4 score in the first two games of the series Â? hardly indicative of a team that trails NL East-leading New York by 12 games.
Lieber scattered five hits, walked none and struck out four for his second complete game this season.
Nationals 9, Braves 6
WASHINGTON Â? Ryan Zimmerman homered and singled to raise his rookie-leading RBI total to 78, and the Washington handed AtlantaÂ?s John Smoltz his first loss in more than two months.
Eight members of WashingtonÂ?s starting nine reached base against Smoltz (10-6), and the Nationals batted around in a four-run second inning. Zimmerman drove in one run with an infield single in that inning, and he hit a two-run shot in the fourth for his 16th homer.
Reds 7, Cardinals 2
ST. LOUIS � Bronson Arroyo ended a 10-start winless slump and Edwin Encarnacion hit two of Cincinnati�s five home runs as the Reds cut the Cardinals� lead in the NL Central to 1½ games.
All of the RedsÂ? homers came in the first five innings. Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 24th to tie Pete Rose for 20th place with 1,041 extra-base hits, and Rich Aurilia and Adam Dunn also connected.
Orioles 3, Yankees 2
NEW YORK Â? BaltimoreÂ?s bullpen hung on against the Yankees this time, getting Adam Loewen another win over New York.
Loewen beat the Yankees for the second time in August, and four relievers combined for shutout relief in a victory that stopped the OriolesÂ? five-game losing streak.
New YorkÂ?s AL East lead over the second-place Red Sox was cut to two games. After playing the Orioles today, the Yankees head to Boston for a five-game series that opens with a day-night doubleheader Friday.
Red Sox 6, Tigers 4
BOSTON Â? David Ortiz hit his major league-leading 42nd home run and David Wells pitched into the seventh, helping Boston avoid a sweep against Detroit.
Coco Crisp put the Red Sox on top with a two-run double in the sixth for Boston, which had dropped the first two games of the series to the Tigers and fallen three games behind AL East-leading New York entering Wednesday.
The Red Sox and Yankees open a five-game series Friday.
Ortiz hit a two-run shot off Justin Verlander (14-6) into the Red Sox bullpen in the fifth to give Boston a 3-1 lead. He also leads the majors in RBIs with 113.
Magglio Ordonez and Brent Clevlen homered for the Tigers.
D-Rays 8, Blue Jays 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Â? James Shields threw six solid innings to stop his six-game losing streak and the Tampa Bay ended its seven-game skid.
Shields (5-6) allowed three runs Â? one earned Â? and four hits in his first win since June 21. He had been winless in nine starts after winning four straight outings.
Damon Hollins hit his career-high 14th homer for the Devil Rays, who are 9-22 since the All-Star break.
Toronto got a solo home run from Bengie Molina. The Blue Jays are 7-3 since a season-worst seven-game losing streak.
Royals 10, ChiSox 4
Notes: The White Sox rested RF Jermaine Dye and CF Brian Anderson. ... Both benches were warned in the fifth when Jose Contreras threw a pitch behind Joey Gathright. ... Contreras matched his season high for hits allowed. ... Gathright was 2-for-3 with three runs scored. ... The Royals had 15 hits. Their season high is 18 against Texas on June 8. Each hitter in the Royals' lineup had at least one hit.
Rangers 9, Angels 3
ARLINGTON, Texas Â? A volatile series turned violent Wednesday night when Adam Kennedy charged the mound after being hit by a pitch from TexasÂ? Scott Feldman, triggering a bench-clearing brawl in the RangersÂ? victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
A night after Rangers starter Vicente Padilla was ejected for hitting two Angels with pitches and nearly plunking a third, tensions between the AL West rivals finally boiled over.
Kennedy was hit an inning after the Angels had two pitchers and manager Mike Scioscia ejected because two RangersÂ? hitters were nailed.
Twins 7, Indians 2
MINNEAPOLIS Â? Jason Bartlett had four hits and Luis Rodriguez added three to lead Minnesota past Cleveland.
Luis Castillo drove in the go-ahead run on a bases-loaded infield single in the eighth inning. Michael Cuddyer hit his 18th homer later in the inning, a three-run shot that broke the game open. Minnesota moved within one game of AL wild card leader Chicago.
The Twins got 17 hits but didnÂ?t take the lead for good until the eighth.

Kabul: Former India cricketer Lalchand Rajput was on Saturday named the Afghanistan team's head coach, two days after he lost to Anil Kumble in the race for the India coach job. The 54-year-old replaces former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, who stepped down in April to become the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief selector.
His first assignment is a tour of Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands in July and August. "Rajput has coached the Indian Under-19 Cricket side as well as the Mumbai Indians franchise in the IPL. His experience is a key asset for Afghanistan Cricket," Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) Chairman Danish Nasimullah said in a statement. "Rajput is technically and professionally strong coach in cricket, I am sure his presence with Afghan national cricket team will benefit the team. He will be joining the team for the Scotland, Ireland and Netherland tour," he added. According to ACB chief executive Shaiqullah Stanikzai, Rajput was chosen ahead of former Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf, former South Africa batsman Herschelle Gibbs and former West Indies fast bowler Corey Collymore. The former opening batsman's name was reportedly recommended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Rajput, who was in charge of the Indian team during its World T20 triumph in 2007 and the controversial tour of Australia in 2007-08, also served as the joint secretary of the Mumbai Cricket Association. Rajput becomes only the second Indian cricketer after Manoj Prabhakar (bowling coach of Afghan cricket) to coach the minnows.

•President requests extra N161.6b for fuel subsidy
The House of Representatives has resolved not to pass the 2013 budget until contending issues in this year's budget are resolved.
At plenary yesterday, the House directed its committees on Finance and Appropriation to compile and present a report on outstanding revenues and expenditures in this year's budget and propose a plan for the full implementation of the budget within one week.
President Goodluck Jonathan has sent a letter to the lawmakers, requesting N161, 617, 364, 911 supplementary budget to subsidise petroleum products until the end of this fiscal year.
In the letter, which was read to the House by Speaker Aminu Tambuwal, Jonathan said forensic audit showed that the N881.1 billion provision for fuel subsidy in this year's budget was underestimated.
He said as at now, N880,264,243,683.61 has been paid out, leaving a balance of N7,735,756,316.39 for subsidy payment.
The President said: "In order to accommodate the outstanding arrears resulting from the forensic audit and the remaining period of this year, an additional sum of N161,617,364,911 is required.
"Given the need to maintain a steady flow of petroleum products, especially in the run-up to the festive season, it is my hope that the honourable members will kindly accord this request their traditional expeditious consideration and approval."
The lawmakers frowned at the request, which came barely 20 days to the end of the year.
They unanimously agreed to ensure the conclusive implementation of this year's budget.
Under Matters of Urgent Public Importance, Mr. Abdulrahman Terab (ANPP, Borno) said with infrastructural deficit of over N4 trillion and a very high unemployment rate of over 70 per cent, the country must be accountable and transparent in all its revenue matters.
Terab said the budget was significant in meeting the social and economic needs of the people through the provision of public goods and services.
He said: "We are concerned that the revenue receipts so far for 2012 have been confirmed to be higher than what was projected for in the 2012 budget.
"Consequently, the fourth quarter capital releases made to Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) this month, despite being inadequate on the percentage of budget implementation, were found to be inconsistent. Hence, only about 30 per cent of the allocated value were actually remitted to the MDAs.
"At this moment in December, we cannot fully claim capital releases to average 60 per cent across the board to MDAs"
Terab also questioned the whereabouts of recovered funds, non-oil excess revenue, the 2012 unspent revenue, pension reform and fake subsidy claims.
He said the funds were not captured in the 2013 Appropriation Bill and were not provided as opening balances in the 2013 Expenditure Account.
The lawmaker expressed concern that most of the capital projects captured in this year's budget may be abandoned.
This, he said, would lead to waste of all the resources that were committed to the projects and increase the nation's infrastructural deficit.
Terab said: "The implication of all this is that the nation's 2012 growth projections will be completely eroded and difficult to justify.
"If the House did not come to the rescue of the 2012 budget, the dream of Nigeria becoming one of the 20 great economies by 2020 can no longer be achievable.
"Consistent missing of target plans translates to failure."
Chairman of the Committee on Appropriation, John Enoh (PDP, Cross River) questioned the impact of this year's budget on the economy.
Chairman, Committee on Finance, Abdulmumin Jibrin (PDP, Kano) wondered if the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) had not become a barrier to infrastructural growth with its burdensome procedures.

OPINION: Stop The Cruelty & Leave Ed Westwick's Girlfriend ALONE
Focus on the issue at hand
Ed Westwick has been the centre of media attention of late, after two women have stepped forward to share their stories, accusing the actor of sexually assaulting them.
Their harrowing stories were shared on social media, and have led to an investigation into the claims by authorities.
Ed has since denied the claims, stating that he does not know the women and that he is cooperating with police to clear his name. While no statements have been issued on Ed's sexual assault allegations, the public has taken to the internet to openly slam the actor for the claims.
However, scorned fans have also taken to Ed's girlfriends' social media pages to rip her to shreds and partly blame her for the claims made against him.
This is a call for this to STOP.
This is NOT the time nor place for this behaviour.
This is a call, for the sake of men and women everywhere, to leave Ed Westwick's girlfriend alone and focus on the issue at hand.
Ed and girlfriend Jessica Serfaty have long been a source of fan envy, but there has been a long standing trend of users openly criticising Jessica for her parenting, and now for her relationship with Ed as a result of the sexual assault claims.
Jessica has openly stated that she doesn't believe the 'bulls@#' claims made against Ed, and that she will be backing her partner throughout this ordeal.
This has angered online users and a string of cruel and nasty comments have appeared on her recent Instagram posts.
Users have torn Jessica down, accusing her of being a bad parent, due to her apparent lack of involvement in her son's, Roman Serfaty, life.
Jessica gave birth to him at 17-years-old, after marrying then husband Ididia Serfaty.
After being a stay-at-home mum, the family moved to L.A so she could pursue a career in modelling. Eventually, their relationship sadly ended and she was given the choice to either move to Arkansas to co-parent Roman, or continue her career in L.A and see Roman during holiday and specific periods.
She chose the latter option and continues to see Roman as much as she can, but still some have gone on to say that this lead her to being in a relationship with a alleged "rap**t."
This kind of cruelty is NOT okay.
Would people still think the same of a father who made the decision she did? We think not…
One user wrote, "You are one awful mother, I am so glad I was blessed with an amazing mom who is always there for me no matter what, not like your poor son who was given a really sh***y mother. Smh, you and Ed deserve each other."
Others wrote things like, "There's a 99.9% chance her son will be emotionally scarred because of his mother abandoning him and his dad. If you don't think it will have a negative effect then you're an ignorant zombie," and "This girl has a dodgy past. She abandoned her own little son to be famous. She divorced a decent guy and now she's dating a r**ist. Sooner or later God will cut you down."
Another wrote, "Gotta love a mom who spends more time updating her social media than she does with her own child."
When did it become okay to comment on other people's lives so nastily? Lives you have NO idea about?
Some took to the comments to defend Jessica, saying, "The courts will decide if Ed is guilty or not, but bullying Jessica for "abandoning" her son is really low... The kids happy with his dad, why are people attacking her?"
"I don't know them... you don't know them... you can be in the middle of such negative commenting to each other about a situation that's outcome has nothing to do with how mean or sarcastic you can be to each other."
Let's all focus on the real issue at hand - and STOP shifting blame to partners, STOP mum-shaming, STOP spreading hate and just try to make this world a better place.
Whether Ed is guilty or not - Jessica shouldn't be copping sh#$ for it.
If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, please contact authorities and seek help.

A Randomized, Open-Label, Comparative Study of Epoetin Alfa (PROCRIT) 80,000 Units or 120,000 Units Q3W (Every 3 Weeks) Versus Darbepoetin Alfa (ARANESP) 500 Mcg Q3W in Anemic Cancer Subjects Receiving Chemotherapy
This is an open-label (both the physician and the patient know which treatment is being
provided), multi-center study of up to 16 weeks duration in which 450 patients will be
randomly assigned (patients are assigned to a specific study group by chance) to one of
three treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Patients will receive PROCRIT (epoetin alfa)
80,000 Units injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once every three weeks or 120,000
Units injected under the skin once every three weeks or ARANESP (darbepoetin alfa) 500 mcg
injected under the skin once every three weeks for up to 13 weeks. PROCRIT (epoetin alfa)
80,000 Units and 120,000 Units given once every three weeks are doses and schedules that are
not approved for use in the United States and are under investigation, while the ARANESP
dose and schedule are approved for use in the United States. Adult patients with specific
types of cancer (confirmed non-myeloid malignancy) who are scheduled to receive cyclic
chemotherapy for a minimum of 12 weeks during the study and who meet all other eligibility
criteria will be enrolled. This study will be conducted in approximately 80 study sites
located in the United States.
The study hypothesis is that a dosing regimen of PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) 80,000 Units or
120,000 Units given once every three weeks is non-inferior to ARANESP 500 mcg given once
every three weeks with respect to the mean hemoglobin (Hb) change from baseline to Study
Week 7 in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Hemoglobin levels will be monitored
throughout the study on a weekly basis and before each drug dose is administered. Drug
dosing will be adjusted (ie, held, reduced, resumed at a lower dose) as needed to maintain
hemoglobin values within desired ranges.
The maximum dose of PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) allowed in this study is 120,000 Units every
three weeks (Q3W) and the maximum dose of ARANESP (darbepoetin) is 500 mcg Q3W.
Safety evaluations will be conducted throughout the study and will consist of assessment of
laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations. The occurrence and severity of adverse
events, including thrombovascular events will be evaluated throughout the study.Periodic
data monitoring of the study by an external Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC)
will be performed. The main responsibility of the IDMC is to conduct ongoing monitoring of
safety and to report any irregularities back to the Sponsor along with recommendations
regarding continuation of the study. Each patient will be assigned to one of three dosing
schedules. All schedules will be administered by way of subcutaneous (under the skin)
injection once every three weeks over a period of 13 weeks. The three dosing schedules are
as follows: PROCRIT (epoetin alfa) 80,000 Units, PROCRIT (epoetin alfa) 120,000 Units or
ARANESP (darbepoetin alfa) 500 mcg
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Hemoglobin (Hb) Change From Baseline to Study Week 7
Baseline Hb was the Hb value that was consistent with the inclusion criteria and which was obtained within 72 hours of the first dose of study medication

At long last, my hubby and I found time last week to go to the popular Dapitan Arcade. It's crazy how it took us so long to come and visit the place. It's a shopping haven for those who love bargain house items and it's perfect for those who want to be the next Martha Stewart. LOL.
First up, cutie ceramic containers, best for those on the side toyo-patis-suka during meals. Only 15 bucks each.
And then, this cake tray, which I thought was such a hard thing to find in the malls, was literally all over the place! It even came in different shapes and colors and only for around 150 pesos.
Our next great buy are these matching candle-holders and bowl which complements our brand new sala set. Love it!
Something now for the bathroom - a pink fish-shaped soap dish. I like the color a lot so we bought it. At 45 pesos, who can resist it?!
Last, but not the least, a stylish liquid soap dispenser (pang-hotel ang dating). I love the flowery detail at the center. It makes our bathroom look so "five star".
Actually, there is one more thing we bought there. It's not so cheap but it's definitely the best buy of them all. I'll post it here soon after we put it up.... :-)
Dapitan Arcade - we're definitely coming back for more!

Titans waste no time as free agency begins
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Titans wasted no time Tuesday jumping into the free-agency fray that had 524 NFL players entering the open market.
Less than an hour after the 3 p.m. local start to the free-agency period, the team immediately addressed two positions of need by signing former Buffalo Bills guard Andy Levitre and former San Francisco 49ers tight end Delanie Walker.
According to reports, Levitre and the Titans agreed on a six-year contract worth $46.8 million. The 27-year-old Levitre, considered by many the top free-agent prospect at guard after spending four years with the Bills, had apparently been a prime target by the Titans after the interior part of their offensive line was ineffective last season.
After the Titans announced they would not place the franchise tag on tight end Jared Cook, and he turned down a multi-year contract offer last weekend, it became apparent the team would be in the market for another lead tight end.
On Tuesday, Cook agreed to a five-year deal with the St. Louis Rams. He will be coached there by Rams skipper Jeff Fisher, the former Titans head coach who originally drafted him.
"The hard part is you do a lot of homework and then some of these guys sign with their teams in the last 48 hours or get franchised, which will happen before that," Munchak said prior to the start of free agency concerning dealing with potential signees, either from the Titans' roster or otherwise.
"I think there are people that we're going to find we're interested in that can help us," Munchak added, "and it's a matter of who's available. The hard part is you can want them real bad, but five other teams want them also, so we'll see what happens."
At 6-foot-2 and 305 pounds, Levitre is a former second-round and 51st overall draft pick by the Bills in 2009 out of Oregon State. He did not miss a start in 64 games for the Bills, who used their franchise tag for roster protection on free-agent safety Jairus Byrd instead of Levitre.
Walker, 28, reportedly signed a four-year deal worth $17.5 million with $8.6 million guaranteed. Last season as backup tight end for San Francisco behind all-pro Vernon Davis, the former sixth-round draft pick of the 49ers in 2006 out of Central Missouri had 21 catches for 344 yards and three touchdowns. He had three catches for 48 yards in the 49ers' Super Bowl loss to Baltimore.
The Titans decided not to place the franchise tag on Cook, a former third-round draft pick by the team in 2009, after he intimated he wanted to be labeled a wide receiver instead of tight end. With the franchise tag denoting the player will receive the average salary of the top five players at the position, the difference meant Cook, if franchised, would make around $6 million as a tight end and $10.5 million as a receiver. The Titans decided to head another direction instead of going to arbitration and risking paying Cook the premium salary of a wide receiver.
Even with the signing of Levitre, the guard position may still be a priority for the Titans as they head into the draft in late April. They have the No. 10 pick in the first round and seven draft picks overall. The top guard prospects in the draft include Alabama's Chance Warmack, North Carolina's Jonathan Cooper and Kentucky's Larry Warford.
On Monday, veteran guard Steve Hutchinson announced he would retire. After spending 12 standout seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, the seven-time Pro-Bowler and All-Pro signed a free agency deal with the Titans before last season. He played in 12 games for the Titans before being sidelined with a knee injury.
"Hutch has been a great player," Titans general manager Ruston Webster said of Hutchinson, "and I am happy for him that he can walk away from the game under his own terms."
Another key Titan other than Cook who headed into free agency was defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks, the second-round draft pick in 2009 out of Auburn. But the Titans have already scheduled a visit from Detroit Lions free agent defensive tackle Sammie Lee Hill, a run stuffer who started his first season with the Lions in 2009 before falling behind standouts Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley on the depth chart. He was drafted by the Lions in the fourth round in 2009 out of Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
In other Titans transactions …
• Before he entered free agency, the Titans signed standout kicker Rob Bironas last Thursday to a
two-year contract worth $6.675 million, including a signing bonus of $1.5 million. The contract makes
him the fourth-highest paid kicker in the NFL.
Bironas, 35, has spent all eight NFL seasons with the Titans. Last season, he made 25 of 31 field goal attempts, his lowest percentage since 2006. But among kickers with 100 field goals, he ranks third in league history at 85.6 percent successful.
• The Titans made their first splash in free agency several weeks ago by signing veteran strong safety George Wilson, who had been released by the Bills. The Titans signed Wilson to a two-year, $4 million deal. From 2005-12 with Buffalo, he had 362 tackles, 12 interceptions, 22 passes defensed and three forced fumbles.
• On Tuesday, the Titans waived safety Jordan Babineaux and guard Mitch Petrus. Babineaux, a nine-year NFL veteran, played the past two seasons with the Titans. In 2011, he led the team in tackles (117) and had 92 tackles in 16 games, including 12 starts, this past season.
• On Monday, veteran offensive lineman Fernando Velasco was tendered and signed a restricted free agency offer from the Titans. He started all 16 games last season, including 13 at guard and three at center. He originally signed with Tennessee in 2008 as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia.
• The Titans chose not to offer tenders to restricted free agent offensive linemen Kevin Matthews and Kyle DeVan. Matthews, the son of Titans offensive line coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews, spent three seasons with the team as a reserve before being forced to start last season because of injuries. DeVan signed as a free agent last off-season to provide depth.
