We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq Peoples. This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi'kmaq Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi'kmaq title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We recognize that true reconciliation is an ongoing process. Acknowledging territory and First Peoples should take place within the larger context of genuine and ongoing work to forge real understanding, and to challenge the legacies of colonialism.

My organization, Solidarity, supported the 1996 Ralph Nader presidential campaign. To my knowledge, we were the only national grouping on the socialist left to take this position. The logic of our policy was simple enough: Nader's clear-cut stance of independence from the Democratic Party and his radical-populist attack on unbridled corporate power represented central elements of a program for working people and the social movements in the United States.
Ralph Nader's willingness to assist the Greens in achieving political visibility and credibility was a highly positive development-it's up to the movement now to take maximum advantage of the opening. How can we begin to do this?
Left activists both inside and outside the Nader campaign identified a central weakness in the absence of any democratic process, whether in the nomination of the candidate or in running the campaign.
Left activists both inside and outside the Nader campaign identified a central weakness in the absence of any democratic process, whether in the nomination of the candidate or in running the campaign. A top-down organizing mode not only limited the campaign's mobilizing potential, but may well have contributed to the regrettable factional division inside the Greens. Yet if we're to do better in future electoral efforts, I would urgently suggest that the question of democracy can be seriously addressed only in combination with two other pressing problems.
The first lies in building a real base so that future campaigns are not socially weightless. The second is to understand that democracy in a movement coalition applies not only to how decisions are made but also to carrying them out; i.e. that there must be structured, mutual political accountability.
If we're to suggest that a Ralph Nader or some future candidate is to be "accountable" to the movement, this must go both ways: Organizations that participate in selecting the candidate and adopting the program must also agree to raise the money, carry out the ballot access campaigns, and build the rallies.
What kind of organizations are likely to accept such responsibilities? Most likely, those that have some kind of base, giving them the confidence that they can bring some forces to the struggle and deliver on their commitments. Organizations like-for example-the Labor Party and its sponsoring unions, or organizations with support inside the African American or Latino communities.
There are no shortcuts. The left will make its own credibility the old-fashioned way-by earning it. When you look at how little credibility we have now, the remarkable fact of the Nader campaign was not how little it accomplished, but how much.
Let's face it: Here was a "virtual campaign," with zero funding and a candidate who, to put it mildly, was reluctant to campaign vigorously. Yet Nader was the visible left option in this election-not only outpolling by an order of magnitude all the socialist campaigns combined, but enabling the Greens to expand their ballot access and, in Washington DC, even beating out the fake-populist billionaire Ross Perot.
It's quite true that the lack of fundraising was fatal to the campaign in a large state like California, which should have been a Nader stronghold. But the critical lesson to be drawn is an indictment not of Nader, but of capitalist politics in America.
It is no secret that Nader refused to engage in fundraising because of the government's eagerness to use any pretext to go after the network of tax-exempt consumer advocate and reform organizations which he has helped organize. This at a time when Newt Gingrich virtually bragged about siphoning tax-exempt contributions to finance the Republican takeover of Congress and the Clinton administration solicited money from super-wealthy friends of the Suharto dictatorship.
1. An example for the labor movement. A mass breakthrough for independent politics requires the backing of institutions with social power and resources-most fundamentally labor and the Black movement.
In the 1996 election, the AFL-CIO poured $35 million into the reelection of Clinton-who promised the labor leadership exactly what they asked him for, namely, nothing-and to defeating the 72 freshman House Republicans, fewer than 20 of whom actually lost.
Not that the following scenario could have unfolded in 1996, but to indicate future possibilities, imagine just for a moment that the Nader campaign had the backing merely of those four International unions (OCAW, UE, ILWU, and Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees) who presently sponsor the Labor Party.
. . .a society committed to environmental values will massively create jobs, not destroy them.
That kind of Nader campaign would have achieved ballot status in most states, forged a powerful alliance of Green politics with a wing of the unions, and thrown the AFL-CIO and the Democrats into a panic. It would certainly have quadrupled the Nader vote and, more importantly, broken the unchallenged bipartisan hegemony of pro-corporate assumptions in US politics.
2. An orientation for the social movements. When social movements enter into the electoral-political arena, it has the healthy potential to force them to confront the real needs and fears of ordinary people, i.e., the working class majority. This was true of the anti-war movement of the 1960s and is true of the Green movement today. Perhaps more than other issues of our time, the terrifying realities of environmental degradation and the cause of environmental justice have the potential to stimulate mass grassroots activism and revolutionary consciousness. From the local to the global levels, the health and physical survival of working class people and their children are at stake. Yet so are the jobs they depend upon for economic survival.
It is no secret to readers of this journal that a society committed to environmental values will massively create jobs, not destroy them. But bringing this understanding to the mass audience that can make our dreams come true requires, among other things, effective mass politics.
Last but -- for us in Solidarity -- not least, the Nader campaign opened possibilities for education around some important issues of socialist politics. It's not that the campaign was socialist-which in my own opinion is just as well, since Nader doesn't have or claim to have clear socialist politics (in other words, he doesn't embrace a vision of democratic working class political supremacy), and I'd rather see a sharply focused populist campaign than a confused socialist one.
The point, rather, is that socialists (I mean here actual left-wing socialists, not pro-Democratic Party social democrats) recognize that American politics will remain stuck in the mud until working class people and the African American community forge their own independent politics, not to reform the Democratic and Republican parties but to destroy them.
We're entirely aware of the limited role of socialist propaganda, but we think it has a certain important role along with our movement-building activism. Indeed, the two are most effective in combination, which is why Solidarity's approach has always been to make the argument, whenever possible, through real-life independent politics.
In 1992, we enthusiastically supported the presidential campaign of Ron Daniels from the Campaign for a New Tomorrow. (Unlike Nader, Daniels was more than prepared to campaign with great energy; regrettably he had even less money to run on.) Back in 1988, we argued that Jesse Jackson should run as an independent instead of channeling and thereby dissipating the energy and political promise of the Rainbow Coalition inside the Democratic Party.
We undertook our (necessarily modest) pro-Nader activities with knowledge of the campaign's political shortcomings. Like many others on the left, we felt that Nader badly missed the boat in dismissing issues of abortion rights, affirmative action, immigrant-bashing, and lesbian/gay rights as marginal (or even worse, "gonadal").
But Nader was wrong, because the issues of abortion rights, the attacks on immigrants, gay-bashing, and racism are points of fundamental principle.
Even here, however, it's necessary to understand exactly why Nader was wrong. Some of his left critics have maintained that Nader's narrow approach to social issues cost him votes and support (e.g. in the gay/lesbian communities). But let's be clear: These are not the issues that will be central to putting together a mass movement opposing corporate power.
Indeed, if that were the only criterion, Nader would be correct in setting them aside in order to focus on downsizing, the collapse of political democracy, the massive decline of security in working people's lives-the core issues which Nader rightly recognizes as crucial in winning people away from the fascist-tinged politics of Patrick Buchanan.
But Nader was wrong, because the issues of abortion rights, the attacks on immigrants, gay-bashing, and racism are points of fundamental principle. A progressive independent politics must take clear stands on them, completely independent of whether they are vote-gaining, vote-losing, or vote-neutral, because what we've learned about homophobia applies to all of them: Silence Equals Death.
That's why we cannot compromise on these questions in the face of our enemies. But it's also why these life-and-death social struggles can win only if they are part of a political and economic agenda that can win over the majority-the agenda that Nader's campaign in its limited way began to articulate. The next few years are crucial to developing this potential.


Recent research shows that genetic factors play a greater role in the risk of early death from an infection than early death from other diseases such as cancer or heart disease. In 2012-2013, we analysed the genes (GWAS genotyping) of 1700 patients in the BSI registry who have participated in the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT). Since then, all the participants in HUNT have been genotyped, so that we have now genotyped 2700 patients with sepsis and 65,000 controls in total. The genes of the frozen bacteria isolated from the patients' blood will also be analysed.
We believe that information about the interaction between patients' genetics, the clinical course of the disease and the genetics of the bacteria can identify new markers for development of serious disease and new treatment targets. Personalized treatment may soon enable more effective sepsis care. Read more about this in the PEST project.
We also have a large innovation project in progress, called "SepCease", in which we will be working on developing a new type of ultrasound technology for early detection of changes in blood circulation in sepsis. Our clinical projects are observational studies of sepsis patients, as well as a large intervention study, "Stop Sepsis, Nurse", which reduced sepsis mortality by 40% through close monitoring of patients with infections in an ordinary ward.
We have published several epidemiological studies where we have combined data from HUNT and the BSI registry, and identified several risk factors both for developing sepsis and for dying of it. Long-term effects for sepsis survivors are another area we are focusing on.
We carry out educational activities and information campaigns about sepsis, and we have created both e-learning programmes and information videos. If you need someone to talk about sepsis, you are welcome to contact us.
Integrating genetic, microbial and clinical information to identify individual risk of death and severe disease.
Infections have been continuous and prominent threats to survival during human evolution, making innate response genes highly polymorphic. Probably surprising to many, genetic factors play a much more important role in the risk of death from infection than they do in the risk of death from cancer or heart disease. However, genetic risk factors for the latter have received much more attention than those for infectious diseases.
The primary objective of this project is to develop novel and personal diagnostics and treatment strategies for sepsis tailored to the specific biological and clinical characteristics of the individual patient.
By using unique Norwegian population-based follow-up studies, we propose to include detailed information on 78 000 participants that are all genotyped in HUNT-MI (70k in the HUNT study and 8k in the Tromsø survey). We have already identified >2000 with sepsis, all included in our existing sepsis registry, one of the world's biggest sepsis cohorts with clinical and genetic information and the bacterial isolate. Since the microbe is isolated in only 30% of patients with sepsis, we estimate that the real number of sepsis cases among the 78 000 totals >7000 patients. Since ethical committee permission has been granted to abstract detailed information from EHR in all 78000, the PEST-project will be able to extract details of sepsis phenotype (early signs, clinical course, focus of infection, antibiotic use, treatment response, etc.), from community health through hospital and back. We have joined a unique multidisciplinary team of experts in medicine, computational science, and language science, -with collaborators as HEMIT, IBM and BigMed, which will make this feasible. This potentially very large cohort with phenotype, genotype and microbe will reveal possible novel personalized treatment-strategies for sepsis.
Ward nurses have had little knowledge of how important systematic observation of the patient's vital signs is for identifying sepsis. A project named "Stopp Sepsis Sykepleier" ("Stop Sepsis, Nurse"), launched in 2010, aimed to equip ward nurses with triage tools so that they could make effective observations to detect sepsis early and objectively communicate the level of urgency to the doctor. The project has resulted in better observation of sepsis patients, halving the length of stay in intensive care, reducing organ damage in sepsis survivors and reducing mortality by 43% at Levanger Hospital. The project won the improvement prize awarded by the Norwegian Patient Safety Conference in 2016 and the Norwegian Quality Prize for the health service in 2017.
Almost all patients have a peripheral intravenous catheter inserted when they are admitted to hospital. This device makes it easy to administer medication or fluids right into the bloodstream. Although these devices are simple and in everyday use, they must be inserted, observed and handled according to procedures so that they do not present an infection risk for patients. There are strong indications that poor quality in PIVC handling can lead to sepsis. In this project, we will test whether a new assessment tool is valid for assessing the quality of PIVC handling. We will use the tool together with training of nurses to improve PIVC handling procedures and we will investigate the relationship between various types of sepsis and PIVC quality. This is Lise Hovik's PhD project.
qSOFA performs poorly as a screening tool in predicting severe sepsis and mortality.
A new definition of sepsis was published in 2016. A screening tool named qSOFA was also developed, with three criteria: respiratory rate ≥22 breaths per minute, systolic blood pressure ≤100 and altered mental status. If patients meet at least two of these criteria, mortality is at least 10% and these patients need urgent treatment. We evaluated qSOFA compared with other screening tools such as SIRS and RETTS (the Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System). Our study showed that the sensitivity of qSOFA is significantly lower than that of RETTS triage. Our recommendation is therefore that screening should not be based on qSOFA alone, because this tool identifies too few patients who are seriously ill. The findings from this study are important for clinical practice at all hospitals in Norway and the rest of the world.
We also conduct epidemiological studies in which we combine data from HUNT and the BSI registry to study risk factors both for developing sepsis and for dying of it. Among other factors, we have shown that obesity, smoking and physical inactivity are linked with a significantly higher risk of sepsis and higher sepsis mortality rates. We are also exploring the possible effects of genetic variants on the risk of developing sepsis. We have looked at how the occurrence, mortality, microbe spectrum and resistance patterns have changed in our region over time, and investigated how well the standard antibiotic treatment covers sepsis in community- and hospital-acquired infections. Long-term effects for sepsis survivors are another area we are focusing on.


A surveillance camera mounted on the front of USA Grocery caught video of Thursday's fatal confrontation that killed Kareem Mano.
The suspected killer, 20-year-old De'Andre Malik Thomas, turned himself in Friday afternoon, Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said.
The video shows Thomas getting out of a white sedan, and he appears to hand off something to Mano in the parking lot of the store at Bloomfield and Rocky Creek roads about 3:20 p.m.

After a decent man: Mümtaz Soysal
By YUSUF KANLI yusuf.kanli@hurriyet.com.tr
Mümtaz Soysal, a distinguished constitutional law professor, former foreign minister and a devoted chief advisor of late Turkish Cypriot founding father Rauf Denktaş, silently passed away at age 90. He was born in Zonguldak in 1929.
He did not deserve it. No one deserved such an end. He spent his last few years confined to a hospital room, unaware of the developments as he completely lost his connection with reality. Like his love, Sevinç Karasapan Soysal, he was suffering from Alzheimer's.
It is not easy to accept seeing such a man with such sharp views with such a condition.
Maintaining integrity right until the last moment of life might be far more difficult than being said and probably very few politicians manage it. Soysal was not an easy man at all, but he was a decent politician, a determined fighter and a relentless supporter of the Turkish Cypriot struggle for equality and an honorable life.
Most of us remember Soysal during his short Foreign Ministry tenure in 1994. "I will continue fighting as I retreat" was his famous quote from that period. He was foreign minister of the True Path Party (DYP) and the Social Democratic Party (SHP) coalition government.
Naturally, a man of his caliber could not get along well with the center-right Prime Minister Tansu Çiller and her unpredictable and often "excessively submissive" policies vis a vis the European Union. Thus, he served only for a short few months, earning a solid and monumental place among the Turkish diplomatic community. How would he, who did not succumb to the junta and served a prison sentence, accept the policies pursued by Çiller with which he totally disagreed? Thus, his resignation came as no surprise at the time.
As a leftist political figure, he was originally a critic of late Turkish Cypriot leader Denktaş. But after a short visit to Cyprus and a few hours of discussions in the late 1970s, the two established a strong bond of friendship based on full confidence that Soysal became a life-time chief constitutional advisor for Denktaş. Often, he was accused of being the person who whispered to Denktaş the hardline political views which earned him the nickname, "Mr. No" by his adversaries.
Until his illness started to deteriorate his mental abilities, he served for many decades, even when he was the foreign minister, as a columnist, most of the time for the Milliyet newspaper, which he considered a true home.
He was a true friend and a mentor for many people, including this writer. I will miss him. May he rest in peace.
As is said, "Nothing ever dies; everything lives on."
mümtaz sosyal,

A vegan activist was called a c*** by the owner of a slaughterhouse during a 'Save' vigil.
The activist was part of a group bearing witness to cows on their way to slaughter outside the Alec Jarrett meat processing factory in Oldland Common when the incident took place.
Video footage, posted by Bath Animal Save, shows slaughterhouse owner Alec Jarrett confronting vegan activists while talking on the phone. He says: "The c*** is filming me."
Protestors, who say they have a 'moral obligation' to attend vigils, claim they received 'threats of violence' from staff members, adding: "Despite this, we were able to bear witness and show our love to the cows being killed."
The group says it has been trying to set up an arrangement with the slaughterhouse, so its members can attend vigils at set times, with the facility's prior agreement - but has been unable to elicit a response from slaughterhouse bosses.
Activists said: "We hope our relationship can move peacefully forward towards an agreement where we can bear witness safely and so we need as much support as possible for our next vigil."
PBN has contacted Alec Jarrett Meat Processors for comment and will update if/when one is received.

Lurgan staged a late, late show to be crowned Ulster Premier League champions for the fourth year in a row after a hard fought 1-0 home win over Banbridge.
Lurgan staged a late, late show to be crowned Ulster Premier League champions for the fourth year in a row after a hard fought 1-0 home win over Banbridge on Wednesday night.
eam captain Sarah McClure was the heroine as her dramatic last gasp strike clinched the trophy after Banbridge had produced a battling performance throughout the 70 minutes.
But Lurgan have made a habit of grinding out wins this season in the face of adversity and it was the same on Wednesday night.
There were just seven minutes remaining when McClure hit the winning goal after her team had been on the back foot for much of the game.
Now, the Co Armagh side have set their sights on returning to the Irish Hockey League next season after failing to get out of the second-tier in the current campaign.
Lurgan took part in the old style IHL on two occasions in years gone by and now their objective is to get back to the top table.
"It was always our ambition to retain the Ulster title this season, and now we've done that, we are delighted for everyone at the club," said McClure.
After just 11 seasons in local hockey's top-flight, Lurgan can look back with immense satisfaction at their latest triumph.
They have now won the title every year since 2015 when Ards, Belfast Harlequins and Pegasus left the local set-up to join the EY Irish Hockey League.
Coach Robbie McMinn has supervised all four Premier titles and a first ever Ulster Shield triumph, achieved in 2016.
Based almost exclusively on locally-produced talent, Lurgan's latest title success has come without their former captain Charlene Stewart, who played just a handful of games before stepping down due to maternity leave.
"We have introduced four or five players, who have come through our junior ranks this season, and the future looks bright," said team manager Darwin Murray.
In Wednesday night's game, it was Banbridge, who made the better start as their hosts found difficulty finding their rhythm and Olivia Berry went close early on.
On the stroke of half time, McClure had a penalty corner effort saved by the Bann keeper as it was scoreless at the break.
The visitors started on the front foot after the interval but Lurgan gradually seized the initiative and McClure grabbed the all-important goal when her set-piece flew low into the net to spark the celebrations.
At the other end of the table, Randalstown defeated Ballymena 4-0 to guarantee a relegation play-off and send their opponents back into Senior One.
CJ McDonald was captain fantastic as her hat-trick sealed the deal, with Grace-Louise Palmer also on target.
Town led 2-0 at the break and McDonald completed her treble after the restart to complete a comfortable win.
Town will meet Club KV in the play-off after Omagh failed in their bid to finish runners up in Senior One following a 1-1 draw at Portadown.
In the EY IHL, Ards are now in danger of automatic relegation after Muckross defeated UCD 2-1 midweek to move two points clear of the Ulster side at the bottom.
On the men's scene tomorrow, Banbridge are at home to Pembroke in the EYHL as they bid to hold down a place in the play offs they are hosting while struggling Cookstown have a tough one away to in-form Three Rock Rovers.
Clean sweep chasing Ballynahinch face Limerick in the Irish Hockey Trophy final tomorrow while Instonians II take on Three Rock II in the Irish Junior Cup final in Dublin on Sunday.

On August 19th, in Ulaanbataar/Mongolia, my mother gave Birth to a girl – me. How did that happen? My parents were full-time philharmonic dancers and touring Asia. Of course, my mother was not allowed to dance anymore, but she accompanied my father and all colleagues. Time passed and in 1993 my family and I moved from Ukraine to Germany. My parents sadly had come to realize that our life – and especially my future – won't be very promissing in Ukraine. So they decided to start over new in a foreign country. At the very beginning Germany wasn't welcoming. My parents were trying their very best to fit and lead an adequate life. Later, as an adult, it would be my turn to fight for my place in the sunamidst German society. Thankfully, everything turned out fine in the end.
Fashion has alway played a great part of my life somehow. I definately owe it to my lovely mother. She has encouraged me to not just simply wear clothes, but to experience a certain thrill choosing an outfit an be creative with my styles – more importantly, she tought me to dare to stand out from the crowd. These days, I have found my own way – somewhere between normal and outstanding, but always a hundred percent me. That is exactly what I am showing you on Instagram. There is a life beyond, of course, and so I would also like to share some of my experiences, adventures and thoughts aside from catwalks and glamour. These stories range from serious or informative to rather comical even.
I hope you enjoy reading and watching my posts and videos.

MindHarp™ The Sound of a Healing Peace
The MindHarp is for people of all ages.
private online workshops also available for schools, youth & adult groups
Developed by Mark Smulian and Stewart Redpath, The MindHarp™ enables anyone to engage actively in music. Proven over years of testing and development, it is a deeply rewarding and enriching activity and is employed regularly in the field of stress and anxiety. The MindHarp requires no musical technique, background or prior skill. It is completely accessible to all. It is played via a simple interface on an Apple iPAD and iPHONE and can be used anywhere. The player simply touches coloured and numbered pads which trigger very carefully designed and harmonised musical sounds. It is impossible to play a 'wrong note'
The first version of the technology was developed as a creative activity to engage and stimulate people living with dementia, realising the impact the MIndHarp benefits everyone for nurturing good mental health. The Mindharp combines software and focused workshop & training programmes based in the Codes of Behaviour.
Each sound on the Mindharp™ is carefully composed and crafted. Each sound even has a story. The pitch, tone, vibration & melody represent years of research with Mark's experience working in areas of Conflict and Post Conflict where stress and trauma consumed people's lives. The sounds have a sonic dialogue quality stimulating and releasing hormones in the brain (the endochrinal system) and represent the healing & uniting power that sound and music has played in Mark's story as a Soldier, Peace Activist, Musician, Producer and Sound Therapist.
The MindHarp™ is about togetherness & healing. It is welcoming, inclusive & clever technology that brings people into a safe place in the now where they can freely express themselves and start a shared journey of healing & dialogue through sound. The MindHarp programme meets peoples' needs in dealing with the past, nurturing a sense of belonging in the present and reducing fears of the future.
Lydianhealth and Lydianstream director Mark Smulian has pioneered peace building projects in the Middle East using music & sound as dialogue in conflict zones and an educational tool to unite divided communities. Mark was also a co-founder of www.heartbeat.fm an organisation uniting youth from Palestine and Israel through music and is a member of the #ArtsDialogue collective. Mark and his business partner Stewart Redpath invented the MindHarp application. Mark has helped facilitate many projects/events in Northern Ireland as part of the #ArtsDialogue programme with Beyond Skin and partners. This includes activities with Holy Trinity School Cookstown, Mid Ulster Council, Millisle Youth Forum, Include Youth, Ards & North Down Council, Arts Council NI, John Paul Youth Club, National Trust NI, Omagh Academy & St Gerards Special Needs School Belfast.
"Beyond Skin over the past 14 years have been actively working with 1,000's of children and young people locally and abroad and we are very aware of the challenges they face. We recognise the MindHarp technology as a great asset in addressing mental health and development needs of children & young people & adults, therefore we are delighted to partner with Lydianstream to develop & deliver a Northern Ireland programme" – Darren Ferguson (Beyond Skin).
"Beyond Skin is at the cutting edge of work using the arts to help tackle complex societal issues that contribute to the burden of mental illness in the UK. This project is a fantastic example of how we can use the expertise of artists to transform the lives of individuals and communities." Dr Daisy Fancourt, Associate Professor at University College London and Director of the MARCH Network

DES MOINES, Iowa – The year is almost over, and many of us will make our way out to celebrate.
"New Year's Eve downtown is like a typical Saturday on steroids," said Ted Hawley, part owner of Beer Can Alley.
"It's a lot of people doing a lot more drinking than they are normally used to," said Jeff Bruning, owner of El Bait Shop.
That's why local authorities are stepping up their game.
Those four fatalities happened on the road and involved alcohol, making it the most fatalities on New Year's Eve night since 2009. It's a number everyone wants to turn into zero like it was in 2014 and 2010.
"For the most part, everyone is getting increasingly smarter. It costs a lot of money to get in trouble, and I think people know that," says Bruning.
"It makes me feel good. You can come out and not have to worry about people getting home. Can kind of just relax and be glad everyone is having a good time," Hawley said.
"We're looking, we're watching for it. If you plan to drink, get a sober driver," Ludwig said. "Any amount of alcohol. I wouldn't even risk it because you know there is going to be law enforcement out there.
As of Thursday afternoon, 316 people have died on Iowa roads. Ludwig said that if no fatal crashes happen Thursday night, the state will have the lowest number of crash fatalities since around the time of WWII when the state started keeping records.
The Iowa chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving has partnered with Uber to offer free rides to new users.
If you use the code "SafeRidesIA" you'll get a $15 credit for both ways.

JUDGE DELAYS TRIAL AGAINST TOBACCO
NOREEN MARCUS Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
Florida's next big tobacco trial, a statewide smokers' class-action suit that was scheduled for Feb. 9 in Miami, has been postponed.
On Thursday, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Alan Postman heard Robert Heim, lead counsel for Philip Morris, argue that Postman should decertify the class, effectively gutting the case.
The suit filed in 1994 by lawyers Stanley and Susan Rosenblatt claims damages on behalf of Florida smokers who say they suffer the adverse health effects of cigarette addiction.
Lead plaintiff Dr. Howard Engle has severe asthma.
Heim said the class, an estimated 500,000 smokers, is too big for the court system to handle.
With all 22 of Miami-Dade County's circuit judges working full time, Heim said, "we could get it done in 60 years."
Postman seemed to agree, saying the case "may be unmanageable."
But the judge ruled against Heim, giving no reason. At previous hearings, Postman said he felt obliged to try the case because supervisory judges on the 3rd District Court of Appeal told him to in a 1996 opinion.
Postman urged the 3rd District to reconsider its earlier ruling and gave tobacco defense lawyers until April to appeal.
He also announced he is considering handing off the trial to another judge because of caseload and health concerns.
Stanley Rosenblatt said his clients could lose their day in court if the U.S. Congress acts on the pending proposal for a $368.5 billion national tobacco settlement before the trial begins. The pact would give the tobacco industry immunity from civil suits.
If the 3rd District declines to take up the tobacco lawyers' appeal in the Engle case, Stanley Rosenblatt said, he will be ready to go to trial immediately.

In Madagascar, maternal and child health issues are persistent–10 women die each day as a result of pregnancy or birth-related complications and 100 children die each day from preventable causes.
The country is predominantly rural; around 64 percent of its total 25 million inhabitants live in rural areas, where their communities are known as fokontany, or villages. These communities are tightly knit groups of families who know each other well and share resources, as well as a cultural identity. Most fokontany are anywhere from two hours to more than a day's walk from the nearest basic health center, or Centre de Santé de Base (CSB).
What does it take to make a difference in these communities? Problem solving people like Dr. Yvette Ribaira.
Dr. Ribaira is a medical doctor who has devoted 25 years of her life to public health. She describes herself as a problem solving person who's always trying to find evidence-based solutions to challenges she encounters, whether professionally or personally.
Unlike many women, Dr. Ribaira says she didn't encounter resistance to her advancement as a woman in public health, although she recognizes this situation may be different for those in other career paths.
The program works to strengthen the skills of community health volunteers (CHVs) who serve the women and children of each fokontany. These volunteers are the foundation of Madagascar's health system and provide essential services that are reducing the number of women and children who die from preventable causes.
The program currently works with nearly 10,000 CHVs, around 4,500 of whom are women, who ensure that communities have the care they need close to home and act as a link to the rest of the health system in areas that previously had no access to care. Because they are members of the community, they are in a unique position to inform and engage their fokontany in adopting healthier behaviors.
The program has also introduced innovations that have made women and children in every fokontany safer and healthier, including introducing a drug called misoprostol, which prevents post-partum hemorrhage, and chlorhexidine, which prevents newborn umbilical sepsis. "Having innovations [like misoprostol and chlorhexidine] and having the government adopting these innovations – the Mahefa Miaraka program really contributes to saving lives in Madagascar," Dr. Ribaira said.
Out of all she's done for her country, Dr. Ribaira is most proud of her work as an advocate for the health and well-being of all communities. She believes all people, especially young women, have great potential to learn and succeed, as she has.

With 26 show homes in the Spring 2017 Parade of Homes, The Neighbourhoods of Bridgwater is a not-to-be-missed destination for those looking to see the latest in Winnipeg housing trends.
The Neighbourhoods of Bridgwater – consisting of Lakes, Forest, Trails and Centre – is a new community in Winnipeg's southwest corner. Its proximity to The University of Manitoba, Seasons shopping centre and Winnipeg's perimeter highway will make potential buyers visit, and the stunning homes, abundance of green space and many amenities will make them stay.
The Neighbourhoods of Bridgwater's architectural guidelines draw attention to traditional themes such as Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival, Cape Cod, Victorian, Arts and Crafts and Country. Many homes feature wide doorways, front porches and tucked-away garages. Houses similar in appearance are carefully separated to create streets bursting with charm and variety.
Half of the homes in Bridgwater Lakes and Trails are visitable, meaning they have no-step entries, wide doorways, spacious main floor bathrooms and generous hallways. Visitable homes provide easy access for everyone, especially those with mobility issues or families with young children.
Once visitors have seen the show homes available, they should take some time to explore the community itself. Bridgwater is set within acres of green space with more mature forests and walking trails than any of Winnipeg's other new subdivisions.
"The fountain features in each of the neighbourhoods are stunning," says Rewniak. He suggested visitors should also check out the businesses that have opened in Bridgwater Centre, and those that are under construction that will open later in 2017.
Located in the heart of The Neighbourhoods of Bridgwater, Bridgwater Centre is a mixed-used neighbourhood that includes residential, commercial and office space. Designed to be a gathering place for the whole community, it features wide sidewalks, large storefronts, pedestrian plazas with street furniture and a central clock tower. Save-On-Foods grocery store, Co-op Gas Bar, Tim Hortons and many other businesses have already opened with a host of others yet to come.
Find a complete list of The Neighbourhoods of Bridgwater's show homes in the Spring 2017 Parade of Homes magazine.


How Do You Know When You Are Done Having Babies?
The decision of whether you are done having babies or not is a very heart-wrenching one for many parents. After McKenna (our third) was born, we immediately started talking about whether we were done or not. Pregnancy is hard on me to say the least and my husband didn't want to see me face another pregnancy. During the 2.5 years from when McKenna was born to when I got pregnant with Brinley, I pondered, read, prayed, and sought counsel from any person who would offer it. Here is the wisdom I gathered through the years and since.
Your first step is to sort through your feelings. Do you want more babies? Does your spouse? Does the idea of another child fill you with excitement? Does the idea of stopping make you sad?
As you think about how you feel, there is one thing I must bring to your attention. I think most if not all women go through a mourning period when they are done having babies whether they are definitely ready to be done or not.
I don't know about you, but when I was a little girl and played house, I was playing with baby dolls. I was imagining myself being a mom to babies and toddlers. I wasn't envisioning and dreaming of parent teacher conferences and braces. In saying that, I don't mean that there aren't things to totally love and adore about being a mom to older children–there are! What I mean is we spent years and years envisioning ourselves as moms, and that usually entailed having a cuddly little baby in tow.
So sometimes we feel sad when we are done having babies just because it is the closing of a chapter that, while difficult, was magical. That new baby smell, those newborn cuddles, the little grunts while sleeping…those are precious moments we will never get again (until we are grandparents).
When we were deciding if we were done or not after McKenna, I was so conflicted. So very conflicted. I loved the idea of never facing morning sickness again, but I didn't feel at peace about being done. I literally prayed about it daily for 2.5 years. I talked to anyone who would listen to me. I would talk to people who were done, who weren't done, who thought they were done once and, surprise! I talked to people who came from families of three children to convince myself that my children would be okay if they came from a three child family (for the record, I don't think there is something wrong with a three child family. I just felt like that number wasn't right when pondering and was trying to prove myself wrong. In the end, it was a feeling that three wasn't right for us.
Do You Feel Like Someone is Missing?
Whenever I was doing a headcount, I would say to myself, "There is Brayden. Kaitlyn is right here. There is McKenna…where is the baby?" That feeling of having a child missing is THE BEST indicator in my opinion as to whether you are done or not.
I thought so at the time, also. My trouble, at the time, was wondering if I was feeling a child missing who was to come or my child who did come but I lost. Was I missing Braxston or another child? I didn't know.
I can tell you now that I feel very confident that we are done (though I will say a surprise would never shock me! It happens). When I am doing headcounts, I never think, "Where is the baby?" I count and feel I have found everyone.
Let me give this one more piece of advice. I did find that when Brinley moved to one nap, I would often think in the morning, "We need to be quiet! The baby is sleeping!" But she wasn't. She was awake. I did wonder for a time if that was me thinking of a missing baby, but in the end it was just me being in the habit of having a sleeping baby in the morning for the past 9ish years. Some thoughts are just deeply ingrained habits.
Talk out your feelings with your spouse and possibly trusted friends and family members. Often times, talking out how you feel really helps you realize how you really feel. You can also talk it out with yourself in a journal.
Once you really know how you feel, try praying about it. Let the Lord know how you are feeling and see what sort of response you get.
I have noticed that people get different answers when praying. Some get a "You are done." Some get a "You are not done." Some get a "It's up to you." Some get a "Not yet." Some get basically nothing, which is what I got for 2.5 years.
During that time, I read a talk where the speaker said to be grateful for the times you had unanswered prayers. He said it was a time the Lord was strengthening you. You all know how I like to plan. That time period was definitely a long period of time where I finally gave up and decided I would accept the Lord's timetable and accepted that I don't have to know everything right now. I definitely grew as a person during that time.
What About When You Disagree?
It is hard when you and your spouse do not feel the same about an answer on having more kids, and this happens very, very often. At some point, someone is going to either feel differently or as a couple you will go against what one of you feels.
My husband felt strongly that we were done having kids. As I have mentioned, I felt conflicted. Finally one day, I had a thought. I thought we should try for three months and if we didn't get pregnant in that three months, we would take that as our answer and be done with it. I proposed this idea to my husband and he thought that sounded great. The rest is history! We have our 3 year old Brinley and now we both agree it was the right thing :).
Once you have come to a joint conclusion, try acting on it.
About 18 months after McKenna was born, I decided since we were done having kids, I would get rid of our baby clothes. I went to the girl clothes first. I found about 5 things I was willing to part with in the 18 months worth of clothes I had to choose among. Huge sign! I thought I might not be ready.
After Brinley was born, I had no trouble giving away my maternity clothes and my baby clothes. There have been a few outfits I have kept for sentimental value, but I am keeping about 5 rather than giving away about 5.
Not to say that there haven't been plenty of people who have given everything away just to have another baby soon thereafter. My point is to try acting on what you think is right and see how you feel as you act on it. If you feel good about it, continue on. If not, reevaluate.
For some people. the decision is clear as to when they are done. For some, the decision is made for them. For some, it is a process that requires much pondering and much thought. Always remember the decision is personal for each couple. There is no one right number of children. There is no age when you should be done or no age you have to continue until you reach. You can know what is right for your family, and while you may mourn what you are leaving behind when the time does come to be done, you can feel a sense of peace that you are past that portion of your life.
Today the ladies of the BFBN are all sharing posts talking about sibling dynamics. Topics include ways to help the sibling relationship, benefits of structure, why you want a strong sibling bond, and if you would even want your first born to have a sibling.
Thanks so much for sharing your heart on this! I am toward the end of my second pregnancy…our girls will be 22 months a part. My husband feels that we are done. I had always envisioned a larger family and am definitely mourning the loss of that dream. I already feel like someone is missing and our second child isn't even here yet! ha! Pregnancy is very difficult on me also, and I think that has a lot to do with my husband's decision. He also shared the feelings of neglect he had when our first daughter was born because she took up so much of my time – I thought I had done well balancing my roles, but I'm glad we discussed it before our second has arrived! We've agreed to table the discussion until I am no longer pregnant and get through those glorious/exhausting newborn months – raging hormones do not make for good conversations for me 😉 May I ask how you all handled being done or can we open the door to discuss permanent birth control options? That's getting pretty personal but that's a major part of my conflict because I have strong feelings one way and my husband's feelings are opposite, so it's hard for me to reconcile the two.
Elizabeth–I won't do anything that is hormonal for me. That has. Ever gone well–even low dose hormones make me a crazy person. I don't like permanent things unless there is some medical reason for it. That is personal belief based. We just primarily pay attention to ovulation cycles. I like the app "pink pad" for tracking that. It is a free app.
Great and necessary article. Tenderly written. I was so excited to give away everything- EVERYTHING- when our third child was about 14 months old. A few months later- SURPRISE! I didn't tell anyone- even family- for about five months. My husband jokes that my jaw was still on the floor in disbelief even when sweet surprise was 9 months old lol. True, it was a deep shock for me. But wonderful sweetie pie is here, now nearly 3 years, and our family is complete.

For pep band's tuba player, beat goes on and on
By Karen Feldman
When the FGCU Basketball Band is playing the Eagle fight song or "We're Not Gonna Take It" or "Dancing Queen" or any other lively tune designed to energize the fans, there's no mistaking the deep, pulsating honks of the tuba holding down the bass line.
In most cases, the person behind that pulse is Ricky Cassell, fourth-year pep band member, senior and biology major whom band director Brandon Robertson describes as "one of my energetic members from day one. He brings such a positive attitude every game we perform. Ricky is cheerful, giving, and is a team player. The entire brass section looks up to him and they always turn to him when it comes to receiving directions.
"I can always count on him to get the brass energetic and ready to play when the time comes for the band to perform. He is truly a great leader in his own right."
The senior from Grass Lake, Mich., grew up with parents who listened to songs from the '70s and '80s, so, "I know all the songs. I can groove to them," Cassell says.
He feels the beat and starts to dance, despite the 25-plus-pound instrument that's wrapped around his torso. It's a far cry from the clarinet he began playing in fifth grade. But when he got into high school, the band director said they needed more tuba players. When he was a sophomore, Cassell says, "the tuba chose me."
He played it for three years in high school and four in college. The college years have been great fun, he says.
"It's kind of cool to see the evolution of the pep band," Cassell says. "Professor Robertson brought the energy."
Cassell seemed destined for FGCU. Friends of his mother's moved to Florida from Michigan, so his family has been visiting regularly for years. They first visited FGCU some years back when looking for a college for his older sister. But it was smaller then, and she decided to go elsewhere.
When his time came, however, he thought Florida and FGCU sounded appealing.
"I liked being near the Everglades and all the nature trails on campus," Cassell says.
They came for a tour and he was impressed with all the sustainable initiatives and how eco-friendly the campus was. He loved the solar compacting trash cans.
Cassell has majored in biology and served as president of the Wildlife Club, which helps get students excited and educated about the local environment. He also headed up the university chapter of Habitat for Humanity. This summer, he's secured an internship at Cayo Costa State Park, an island off the Lee County coast, where he will monitor sea turtle nests from May through October.
And he hopes to be able to continue to play his tuba as well. "I'm thinking I'd like to play at Oktoberfest this fall," Cassell says.
What makes FGCU basketball so great?
Sure, it's the players, but it's more than that. It's the coaches and the cheerleaders. It's Azul and his hip moves. It's the pep band and the Dancing E'Gals and, of course, the shouting, stamping, screaming, leaping Dirty Birds who ramp up the energy in the Nest. This is part a series of profiles of some of those who put their hearts and souls into making Eagles basketball the force it has become.

5 Benefits of Fulvic Acid
So what is fulvic acid?
Fulvic acid is a complex organic molecule that is a member of the humic acid group. It is the smallest member of the humic acid group, which is one of the reasons that it's the most biologically active, its size meaning that it can easily pass-through cell membranes carrying nutrients into the cell. They are naturally occurring in soils, and they transform inorganic mineral rocks and metals into the activated, organic, and water-soluble forms. I.e., the only form that plants and humans can use. So, you could say that they are essential to life. Fulvic is nature's very own nutrient activation and delivery system.
You might be asking then, if it's naturally occurring then why do I need to supplement it? Well, our crops contain 80% less fulvic acid (amongst other things) today than they did 100 years ago. This degradation is a result of chronically over-using fertilisers and pesticides on crops, destroying the microorganisms present. Even organic farming methods deplete fulvic acid because it's used faster than it can be replaced naturally.
Deficiencies in fulvic acid create a deficiency in naturally occurring vitamins and minerals which our body uses to neutralise acids helping maintain a healthy pH in our cells and tissues. Normal cellular processes produce acids as end-products, added to our highly acidic diets, emotional states such as stress and anxiety, and we have an acidic environment.
In the acidic and inflammatory environment that this creates, we can eventually become prone to many different diseases. In fact, there are 157 degenerative diseases linked to the vitamin and mineral deficiencies associated with chronic acidity and systemic inflammation.
What has this got to do with you? Well, fulvic acid makes up 15-20% of the total volume of shilajit, and it is believed to be responsible for many of the medicinal properties of shilajit.
So, let's see what they are.
1. Removal of Toxins from the Body
Our bodies have amazing natural detoxification abilities, and when functioning at optimal health, can effectively remove everything from normal biological waste by-products to environmental toxins such as glyphosate and heavy metals. Unfortunately, our exposure to these toxins — in combination with various other health challenges — can cause our detoxification pathways to become compromised and bogged down.
However, constant exposure to these toxins – combined with other health challenges – overwhelm your 'detoxification' pathways causing an ever-increasing backlog of toxins to be dealt with. What's more, you will begin to store the toxins in your body fat (this fat attempts to protect our organs). The toxins can stay in your stored fat for years. The result of this, we can legitimately call 'suboptimal health'.
So where does fulvic acid come into this?
Fulvic acid is one of the smallest molecules found in nature. Its small structure, electric charge and pH mean that it attracts free radicals, heavy metals and other toxins in the body, kind of like a cleaner. Once the fulvic acid becomes reactive with the heavy meals, by a complicated process involving subatomic particles and charges, they become more water soluble, meaning that they can leave your cell, and ultimately your body more easily.
Because of its unbound nature – i.e., it has no vitamins, minerals, or trace elements attached to it – it becomes the ideal transporter for things getting in and out of the cell for them to eventually be removed from the body in urine or stool.
2. Absorption of Nutrients and their Delivery to Cells
Dr Linus Pauling once said.
'You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment, ultimately to a mineral deficiency'.
Fulvic acid has the capability of attracting and binding to electrolytes, minerals, vitamins, and probiotics amongst other things. It is also thought to increase the activity of digestive enzymes such as lysozymes which protect against microbes in food and various proteases that are responsible for breaking down the protein in your diet into usable amino acids.
This all aids in the restoration of a healthy microbiome, which if you're suffering from constipation, diarrhoea, or bloating – that might be why.
That is only stage one though. Once your body has absorbed the nutrients it needs, they need transporting to the cells and tissues that require them.Yet again, this is where fulvic acid comes in. The process of transporting minerals around the body and delivering them to cells is optimised by fulvic acid.
Part of the reason for this is the physical size of the fulvic acid molecule coupled with its ability to optimise pH within your body mean that nutrients can get into cells by passing directly through the cell wall.
3. Increases Energy and Reduces Fatigue
How is it possible that my energy levels are so spiked when I'm only using only a rice-grains worth of shilajit per serving? The answer to this question is to be found in the mitochondria, the so-called powerhouse of the cell. Energy is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and released when it's broken down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). For this process to work, the mitochondria need oxygen and many other micronutrients.
One study hypothesises that fulvic acid could mitigate the effects of fatigue by preserving the function of mitochondria. It has been shown to deliver more of the key nutrients to the mitochondria and increases the uptake of oxygen. Fulvic acid is also thought to help keep electrolytes in a healthy balance, by increasing the flow of electrons that the mitochondria can use.
It means that your newly improved and more efficient mitochondria can release more energy at a steadier rate throughout the day, so that means no more post-lunch slump.
4. Improve Cognitive Function
There is emerging research suggesting that fulvic acid could have nootropic properties.
A nootropic is a substance which makes you super smart. No, I'm joking. But nootropics are substances that are said to improve working memory and one's ability to learn and retain information.
When we talk about age-related cognitive diseases, we mean the 'A' word, amongst other things. One of the defining features of Alzheimer's is a decline in working memory, and a diminished ability to retain information. One study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease in 2011 concluded that fulvic acid has a range of antioxidant properties, these antioxidants could have the potential to slow the ongoing march of the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's.
The underlying cause of Alzheimer's disease is the blocking of neurons from making new connections. As you can imagine, this eventually leads to memory loss, dementia, confusion, and other debilitating symptoms. An Alzheimer's diagnosis is multifactorial. A doctor will look for plaques on the brain which tell them that there has been a malfunction which has caused an entanglement of neurons (also known as protein aggregation).
Protein aggregation is what leads to the inability for the brain to form new connections, which leads to the gradual cognitive degeneration experienced by those suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Fulvic acid was shown to help untangle these neurofibrillary tangles, shortening their length.
This is a promising sign that fulvic acid may aid in the prevention, amelioration or at least the slowing of symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease.
If potentially improving your cognition, your working memory and maybe even adding a few IQ points to your score, then fulvic acid might be a welcome addition to your supplementation routine.
5. Improves Gut Health
Your gut lining is only one cell thick, and if the "tight junctions" connecting them are ruptured, undigested material in the gut can leak into your blood stream. That will set off alarms in the immune system which then mobilises to attack, subdue, and remove these invasive "foreign" particles.
This response is an autoimmune one, which in certain circumstances – including this one – are normal and healthy. The abnormal part of this is that you shouldn't have undigested bits of food making its way around your body. This means you will have sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids in places they shouldn't be!
One hypothesis for this, and I believe it's a good one, is that it is a result of the "western diet" and our over consumption of processed sugar and underconsumption of fibre.
Another hypothesis, which is linked to the first, is that its pollution in the food and water. Pollutants such as the ubiquitous pesticide glyphosate, which has been proven to break down the intestinal lining cell's "tight junctions" is also shown to break the "tight communications" which are also a part of the gut cell net that allows the cells to communicate.
Fulvic acid encourages the repair of the gut's tight junctions and tight communications, helping the gut to heal and aid in improving your health.
Anything that helps the gut heal will contribute to a feeling of well-being, because a leaky gut can make you feel the effects of inflammation, digestive problems, depression, irritation, skin eruptions, brain fog, lethargy, and all sorts of other symptoms.
You may have noticed that there is some overlap between the sections. Specifically, the gut seems to be central to overall health. You'll know this if you have ever taken a course of antibiotics and just felt flat afterwards. It suggests to me that the body works as one complete unit; nothing happens in isolation. This means that we need to treat it holistically.
In the west, we have broken everything down to its smallest constituent part and looked for answers there.
At CERN they have even tried looking for the answers to the universe by smashing together subatomic particles at eye-watering speeds whilst pharmaceutical companies have taken plants that have been known to have medicinal uses for centuries and have isolated the "active" ingredients to be packaged up as treatments for many different ailments.
But this merely separates the elements, which all work together synergistically to produce an effect, whatever that might be.
And this is where shilajit comes in.

Festival Celebrates Indie Film Spirit
(원 나잇 스탠드 - 2010)
(똥파리 - 2008)
Old Partner
(워낭소리 - 2008)
(경계 - 2006)
By Lee Hyo-won
The past year was a fruitful one for local independent cinema, with Lee Chung-ryoul's documentary "Old Partner" rewriting box office history for the genre and Yang Ik-june's "Breathless" blazing through international film festivals. The festivity culminates with the Seoul Independent Film Festival (SIFF), which continues through Friday in Spongehouse Myeongdong (Joongang Cinema).
The annual year-end event kicked off on Dec. 11 under the theme "Hit and Run". This year SIFF received a whopping record of 722 submissions, up about 100 from last year. A total of 45 works (34 shorts, 11 features) have been selected to compete for several cash prizes. The awards, including the grand prize, amount to 51 million won and will be given out to outstanding works regardless of genre.
In addition to the competition pool, works by Filipino independent cineastes and Korean-Chinese director Zhang Lu, as well as animation pieces and noteworthy shorts and documentary films will be screened.
The festival opened with "One Night Stand", which will be shown again Thursday at 8:20 p.m. The omnibus film is a collection of subtly "erotic" shorts by three noted directors: Min Yong-keun, who has built a reputation with "The Little Thief", traces a boy's infatuation with the girl next door; Lee Yoo-rim, who is known for focusing on women's issues and workers' rights, captures emotional dynamics between a married man and his friend's girlfriend; and film critic-turned-filmmaker Chang Hoon comically depicts an American film critic's encounter with a woman who works in a local spa.
The festival offers indie film buffs a chance to watch works from the Philippines, a flourishing market for the genre. Among the seven movies being offered is "Criminal of Barrio Concepcion" by Lav Diaz. The award-winning ― and controversy-provoking ― director recently teamed up with Korea's Hong Sang-soo and Japan's Naomi Kawase for a local omnibus project.
This 1998 film is about a reporter who meets a man claiming to be the perpetrator of a headline-making abduction case. Despite her efforts to be cautious she becomes increasingly drawn into his story. The film will be shown at noon, Friday.
Also not to be missed are eight works by Korean-Chinese director Zhang Lu, including "Desert Dream" ("Hyazgar"), which opened here in 2007 to critical acclaim. A man refuses to leave his deserted village straddling China and Mongolia where he continues to plant trees in a vain effort to fight desertification. A mother and son who have defected from North Korea find refuge in the village. It will be shown at 12:30 p.m., Tuesday.
A descriptive video service for the visually impaired is available for "Earth's Women", a 2009 feature-length Korean documentary competing for the festival's awards, at 8:10 p.m., Wednesday.
The festival will wrap up with a surprise screening at 4:30 p.m., Friday. Afterward the closing ceremony will take place, featuring the awarded works. "Breathless" stars Kim Kkot-bi and Yang Ik-june, who also directed the film, will host the event.

Hmm.. I sort of figured this was a Win7 issue. I'll have to start doing testing on other machines hooked up to the network. I ran a speed test (Speakeasy.net). It stalls, but then recovers during the test. The test reports the top speed (11 Mbps), not the stall speed (literally 0 Mbps). I also ran a Web100 based Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) which complains about the receiver window size (I figure this is Vista's auto-adjusting receive window algorithm) and a lot of dropped packets & missing ACK's, but no duplex problems or anything like that. Maybe it's time to start crawling around in the attic and wire it all up. It's been on the ole' todo list for a while now. We've got 3 wireless devices (2 computers, 1 XBOX 360) on an old WRT-54G w/Tomato firmware. So maybe the problem is with the router. I'll try & SSH into the router and see if I can reproduce the problem directly from there, although it could be tricky w/o storage.
Please update this thread if you find anything out. I'll be sure and do the same.
Even tho like you, i'm in the final process of wiring up the place, i still want to find out what the hell is going on with the WLAN. Also wonder and have to test, about if stressing out the network via a download via wired, will affect the WLAN as well. I have wireless dependable thngs as well, psp, wii, laptop, and a media extender (which will go wired as soon as i get there).
In the router's config page for wireless (in my DI-624 it's under advanced), try to change the beacon interval to 50 , fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304. Or mess with some other settings here.
well, i used to fool with this in the beginning, seen no good from it, as the signal strength is strong. What i am thinking is this is and could be a little deeper as how the preambles are taken by the wireless adapter and WLAN. Do you have an ack timing as well, if so what is it set to? Also, as you may know there is a corresponding RTS for the adapter as well.
Well, I had certain issues in the past where there were monkey-in-the-middle type of attacks, sophisticated....so I ran a cat-5 cable to my downstairs pc and ps3 to avoid using it. And I had real proper security setup too like AES and WPA2 with long random generated pass lol. Just no type of authentication which is usually silly for home use.
But anyway, my settings are the same as when I did run it. No, there's no ack setting. Only what's in the pic I posted.
Ya, there's probably some setting that either the adapter or router is not liking so much, so under load, it becomes apparent.
I think I'm pretty close to figuring this one out. I went into Device Manager and hit 'View' - 'Devices by connection'. I started disabling every PCI-to-USB device in the system (my network card is USB based) except for the one's connected to my mouse & keyboard. Sure enough, when I disabled the PCI-USB controller hooked up to my bluetooth adapter, I am able to sustain throughput. Enable the USB controller again, throughput goes in and out.
I'm perfectly willing to ditch bluetooth in favor of connectivity, but I'm going to do a little more digging. I was playing around with a bunch of other settings on my wireless adapter. I think I'm running in 802.11b mode now as opposed to 802.11g. I'm going to try and reverse this stuff and see if it's still resolved. It's unclear whether this is a Windows problem or some kind of wireless noise problem. Stay tuned.
Ok. I'm good. The picture shows me back up and running at 802.11b with some non-default settings on the wireless adapter. Then the setting change to 802.11g/all defaults (the gap, then the high speed). Then I started trying to narrow down whether it was the USB controller, the Bluetooth radio, or one of the logical devices under the bluetooth radio (i.e., Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator)--that's where the network is cutting in and out. If I disable to Bluetooth Radio and everything below it, I'm back up and running at full speed.
I bought a ~$20 bluetooth adpater off Newegg. It used to require Toshiba drivers and I had to jump through hoops to get the MS drivers running on it instead in order to get it to play nice with my Blackberry. With Win7, it installed the MS drivers automatically and the Blackberry just worked. That was nice, but I guess that's when the network started cutting in and out. I didn't notice it at the time.
I still can't say for sure whether it's the cheap Bluetooth radio, Windows Bluetooth stack bug, radio interference, the Blackberry, BBerry Device Manager/Desktop Manager... but honestly, I don't really care. I'm happy to use a USB cable w/the Blackberry in exchange for having a network again.
Edit: I was snooping the packets with Wireshark and during the cutting in and out periods, there is a very significant amount of TCP problems (red on black = bad)... duplicate ACK's, lost segments, window adjustments, etc.. When I disabled Bluetooth, everything is blue (blue = good).

Waltz with Bashir er en animationsfilm, der skildrer hændelserne under Israels invasion af Libanon 1982.
Filmen er udgivet i 2008 og blev første gang præsenteret ved Filmfestivalen i Cannes, hvor den var nomineret til at vinde De Gyldne Palmer. Den er skrevet og instrueret af israeleren Ari Folman.

Filmen gør brug af flotte og til tider surrealistiske animationer, der fortæller historien om instruktøren Ari, der prøver at huske hændelserne under massakren i Sabra og Shatila ved at opsøge sine gamle soldaterkammerater. Filmen bruger originale personer, der fortæller om deres oplevelser under konflikten. Psykologiske og episke temaer optræder i filmen, og den udgør et lidt humoristisk billede på konflikten.

Filmen produceret af Bridgit Folman Film Gang og er en israelsk – tysk – fransk produktion.

Modtagelse
Waltz with Bashir har vundet mange priser, heriblandt en Golden Globe for bedste udenlandske film samt en nominering til en Oscar for bedste udenlandske film og De Gyldne Palmer som nævnt ovenfor.

The Mitsubishi Ki-51 (Army designation "Type 99 Assault Plane". Allied nickname "Sonia") was a light bomber/dive bomber in service with the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It first flew in mid-1939. Initially deployed against Chinese forces, it proved to be too slow to hold up against the fighter aircraft of the other Allied powers. However, it performed a useful ground-attack role in the China-Burma-India theater, notably from airfields too rough for many other aircraft. As the war drew to a close, they began to be used in kamikaze attacks. Total production was around 2,385 units. On the day Hiroshima was destroyed by an atomic bomb, two Ki-51s scored the last Japanese victory against US submarines, and of which is confirmed as the 52nd USN submarine lost during the war; essentially, she would have been second to last, as USS Halibut (SS-232) was irreparably damaged in action months before Bullhead was lost, and was decommissioned in early 1945. Two depth charges hit USS Bullhead (SS-332), in which she later exploded and sank with all hands. Charles Lindbergh, flying a P-38 Lightning shot down a Ki-51 after a vigorous dogfight in which the much slower Ki-51 utilized its low speed maneuverability and made a fight of it.

Simple, clean skull motif laser engraved into the gunmetal finish. This is a difficult technique to perfect but I like it because of the idea of 'drawing with light'. I enjoy finding new ways to use technology and the expressive possibilities which are revealed. Laser engraving is more usually found in incidental details - branded findings and such, but here I have placed it centre stage as the process which enables the main design to take shape.


Tourism is key in contributing to the local economy of Mbarara District. There is increasing number of visitors to the district every year. Working in partnership with the Uganda Tourist Board and Ministry of Tourism, the District council plays a supportive role in promoting tourism. Key tourism products are national park, cultural heritage, nightlife, nature and religious sites.
Lake Mburo is south of Mbarara town along Mbarara-lyantonde road covered with extensive acacia woodland and markedly different fauna to other reserves.
The 260sqkm national park is the best place in the country to see the gigantic eland antelope, as well as zebra, topi, impala and several acacia associated birds.
The five lakes within the park attracts hippos, crocodiles and a variety of water birds, while fringing swamps hide secretive papyrus specialists such as the sitanga and red, black and yellow papyrus gonalek. Find out more at: www.ugandawildlife.org.
