Wildfire ash in river could befoul Colorado beer

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) ? A Colorado brewery said Thursday that it's monitoring the water it gets from the city of Fort Collins to make sure residue from a deadly wildfire that blackened a northern Colorado river doesn't befoul the taste of its beer.

New Belgium Brewing, the maker of Fat Tire beer, says so far there haven't been any problems. Brewery chemists, however, will be keeping watch after identifying six compounds in Poudre River water that could cause problems.

The river runs through an area where a June wildfire killed one person, destroyed more than 250 homes and scorched 136 square miles.

Fort Collins hasn't taken any of its drinking water from the Poudre since rainfall put ash from the High Park Fire into the river, turning it black, said Lisa Voytko, of the Fort Collins utility department.

The utility hopes to start drawing a small percentage of its water from the river next month, The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported Wednesday (http://tinyurl.com/9dygwqo), and the city is aware of the brewery's concerns, Voytko said.

None of the water the brewery is using has been affected, New Belgium spokesman Bryan Simpson told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The quality of the brewery's beer depends on the quality of the water from Fort Collins' treatment plant, New Belgium official Jenn Vervier said this week to members of a group working to restore the burn area.

"The health of the watershed equals the quality of our beer," she said Tuesday.

Eddie Van Halen has surgery for digestive disease

NEW YORK (AP) ? Eddie Van Halen has undergone emergency surgery for a digestive disease and is canceling his tour in Japan to recover.

His representative said Thursday that the guitarist had a "severe bout of diverticulitis," a painful condition that involves the formation of pouches on the outside of the colon. He is expected to recover in four to six months.

The rep added that the 57-year-old will not require more surgeries to treat the disease.

The musician had plans to tour Japan in November and will reschedule the dates for next year.

Van Halen is best known for hits including "Jump," ''Why Can't This Be Love" and "When It's Love." The group released a new album, "A Different Kind of Truth," in February.

Mitt Romney to be introduced by members of the Mormon Church, and others

Photo credit: Getty Images | U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, with his grandchildren, watches the Republican National Convention on television in their hotel room in Tampa, Florida. Romney lies neck-and-neck with Obama in national polls 10 weeks before an election that should be his for the taking, given the sour economy and an unemployment rate that is lingering stubbornly above eight percent. (Aug. 29, 2012)

TAMPA, Fla. - Republican Mitt Romney is stepping up for the most important speech of his life, ready to tell an audience of millions that America's best days are ahead after years of "difficulties and disappointments, doubt and despair" under President Barack Obama.

Having grasped the GOP nomination on his second try, after years spent reaching for this moment, Romney will use his speech Thursday night at the Republican National Convention to introduce himself to a large swath of voters just tuning in to the long-running presidential contest and to claw for advantage in a race that could scarcely be any closer.

Romney hinted at his speech themes in a morning fundraising appeal emailed to supporters, and aides said the convention's final night would fill out a portrait of the GOP nominee as a successful businessman, fix-it guy for the 2002 Olympics and trustworthy candidate devoted to his family and faith.

"We believe in America, even though the last four years have been full of difficulties and disappointments, doubt and despair," Romney wrote. "We believe in America, even though President Obama's failed policies have left us with record high unemployment, lower take-home pay, and the weakest economy since the Great Depression."

The GOP nominee spent his morning visiting with extended family ? about 120 people, he guessed ? and tending to the never-ending demand for campaign cash at two meetings with donors.

There was no shortage of advice for Romney from armchair speechwriters on all sides.

Jeb Bush, the brother and son of former presidents, said it was critical for the normally reserved GOP nominee to connect with people on an emotional level ? even if he's never going to be "a new-age kind of guy."

"Where it matters is connecting with other people's concerns," Bush said in a round of morning talk show interviews. Only then, he said, will voters be ready to hear the candidate's case.

Overnight, convention planners transformed the stage, extending it about 12 feet to move the candidate closer to the audience. A clear barrier surrounded the bottom steps.

In a brief preview of Thursday night's speeches, Republican officials said members of the Mormon church, former business associates of Romney, including Staples President Tom Stemberg, and past Olympic athletes will help introduce the Republican candidate.

As part of his introduction, Romney appeared prepared to discuss his Mormon faith in more direct terms than usual, a direction signaled by running mate Paul Ryan on Wednesday night in several allusions to the duo's differing religions but "same moral creed."

The Wisconsin congressman, a deficit hawk who's become the party's darling since joining the ticket, offered a prime-time testimonial Wednesday night setting up Romney's turn on the stage one day later.

White House spokesman Jay Carney couldn't say whether Obama would watch Romney's speech, but said the president was "fully aware" of the happenings in Tampa this week. He declined to say whether Ryan's speech was factually accurate, but criticized Romney's campaign more broadly for distorting Obama's record and policy positions.

"Perhaps when the facts aren't on your side, you ignore the facts," Carney said.

The Obama campaign, for its part, was quick to pick apart Ryan's address, releasing a new Web video with a fact-check of what it said were inaccuracies in the congressman's criticisms of the president, and branding the GOP ticket wrong for the middle class. In the warm-up for Romney's speech, the Democrats also released a second Web video highlighting past criticisms of Romney on his record as Massachusetts governor and his budget priorities.

After a two-day campaign tour through college towns, the president was staying out of the spotlight Thursday, ceding center stage to Romney.

But in an interview with Time magazine released Thursday, Obama said he was hopeful for a more productive second term if re-elected, because "the American people will have made a decision. And, hopefully, that will impact how Republicans think about these problems."

"My expectation is that there will be some popping of the blister after this election, because it will have been such a stark choice," Obama said.

The president added that he needs to do a better job of communicating his goals to the American people ? both during the campaign and what he hopes will be a future inaugural address and more State of the Union speeches. The interview was conducted last week.

If history is a guide, viewership of Romney's speech ? and Obama's address to his Democratic convention next week ? will be surpassed only by the audience for their coming debates.

The first night of the GOP convention drew an estimated 22.3 million TV viewers, the vast majority over 55. The Nielsen ratings company said that figure was down from the 23.1 million who watched the first full night of the 2008 convention, which nominated John McCain. Nielsen said just 1.5 million of those who watched Tuesday's convention session were in the 18-34 age group.

The Republican convention's most rah-rah moments were unfolding as Hurricane Isaac, downgraded to a tropical storm, inflicted floodwaters and misery in rural stretches of nearby Gulf states. The slowly unfolding calamity went unmentioned by most key speakers Wednesday night, although a few asked for Red Cross donations for victims and offered prayers. The GOP had cut the convention's opening day in fear Isaac would strike Tampa, which was spared.

Ryan, 42, came on board the campaign for the White House with a reputation in Washington for taking on the sacred cows in government spending, Medicare prime among them. He's also generated plenty of excitement among conservatives who have never been fully convinced that Romney is one of them. "I think he's a rock star for the Republicans," Allie Burgin, a delegate from Wynnewood, Okla., said before the speech. And that's how he was received on the stage.

Ann Romney, in an interview with WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee taped before Ryan's speech, said Ryan and her husband are a "dynamic duo" who complement one another: "They're both very wonky when it comes to the intricacies of the budget ... You get the two of them together and they're like two pigs in slop."

In his speech, Ryan was particularly cutting in his indictment of the president, even in a convention loaded with anti-Obama rhetoric. "Fear and division are all they've got left," he said. "It all started off with stirring speeches, Greek columns, the thrill of something new. Now all that's left is a presidency adrift, surviving on slogans that already seem tired, grasping at a moment that has already passed."

In a letter sent Thursday morning to potential Democratic donors, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said Ryan's speech "represents a huge bet by the Romney campaign ? they've decided that facts, truth and reality will not be a brake on their campaign message."

Sen. John Kerry, the party's 2004 nominee, also issued a fundraising appeal, saying Democrats need to "respond quickly and powerfully to attacks from the other side." Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, said ads from outside groups attacking his military record were "burned into my memory" and that Romney has far more to spend on advertising this time.

Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said days earlier that the nominee would discuss his Mormon religion in his convention address as part of "what's informed his values."

Ryan, a Roman Catholic, took up the matter conspicuously, and no doubt as part of the convention's carefully crafted message.

"Mitt and I also go to different churches," he said. "But in any church, the best kind of preaching is done by example. And I've been watching that example. The man who will accept your nomination tomorrow is prayerful and faithful and honorable."

Obama, asked in the Time interview what he admired about Romney, said the GOP nominee "seems to walk the walk and not just be talking the talk when it comes to his participation in his church."

Goophone I5 manages to KIRF the 2012 iPhone weeks in advance

Here's something you still don't see every day: a KIRF that's unveiled before the device it's supposed to copy. Although the 2012 iPhone may not show for weeks, the Android-based Goophone I5 is already doing a remarkable job of aping Apple's rumored style, including that two-tone look that we've all seen before. Just don't get notions that it's the bargain of the century. Where most rumors point to a bigger screen for the real thing, the I5 is making do with a 3.5-inch screen similar to that for Goophone's iPhone 4S imitator, the Y5. Performance isn't likely to jolt the engineers in Cupertino out of their seats, either. Mum's the word on whether or not the I5 will beat its inspiration to the store shelf, but we'd wager that it will cost a lot less.

Weakening Isaac hovers over water-logged Louisiana

NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? Isaac hovered over Louisiana for a third day Thursday, shedding more than a foot of additional rain that forced authorities to hurriedly evacuate areas ahead of the storm and rescue hundreds of people who could not escape as the rapidly rising waters swallowed entire neighborhoods.

The huge spiral weather system weakened to a tropical depression as it crawled inland, but it caught many places off guard by following a meandering, unpredictable path. The storm's excruciatingly slow movement meant that Isaac practically parked over low-lying towns and threw off great sheets of water for hours.

"I was blindsided. Nobody expected this," said Richard Musatchia, who fled his water-filled home in LaPlace, northwest of New Orleans.

Inside the fortified levees that protected New Orleans, bursts of sunshine streamed through the thick clouds, and life began to return to normal. But beyond the city, people got their first good look at Isaac's damage: Hundreds of homes were underwater. Half the state was without power at the one point. Thousands were staying at shelters.

And the damage may not be done. Even more rain was expected in Louisiana before the storm finally drifts into Arkansas and Missouri.

Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches in some areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles. At least two deaths were reported.

Five feet of water poured into Musatchia's home before a neighbor passed by with a boat and evacuated him and his 6-year-old boxer, Renny.

He piled two suitcases, a backpack and a few smaller bags onto the boat and said that was all he had left. He abandoned a brand-new Cadillac and a Harley-Davidson.

"People have their generators, because they thought the power would go out, but no one expected" so much water, Musatchia said.

Other evacuees were picked up by National Guard vehicles, school buses and pickup trucks.

Daphine and David Newman fled their newly decorated home with two trash bags of clothing. They have lived in their subdivision since 1992 and never had water in their home from previous storms, not even Hurricane Katrina.

The comparison was common since Isaac hit on the seventh anniversary of the devastating 2005 storm, though the differences were stark.

Katrina was more powerful, coming ashore as a Category 3 storm. Isaac was a Category 1 at its peak. Katrina barreled into the state and quickly moved through. Isaac creeped across the landscape at less than 10 mph and wobbled constantly.

David Newman was frustrated that the government spent billions of dollars reinforcing New Orleans levees after Katrina, only to see the water inundating surrounding regions.

"The water's got to go somewhere," he said. "It's going to find the weakest link."

The sudden call for evacuations so long after the storm made landfall provoked a debate about whether anyone was to blame.

Jefferson Parish Council President Chris Roberts said forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami needed a new way of measuring the danger that goes beyond wind speed.

"The risk that a public official has is, people say, 'Aw, it's a Category 1 storm, and you guys are out there calling for mandatory evacuations,'" Roberts said.

Hundreds of people in lower Jefferson chose to ride out the storm ? and many of them had to be rescued, he said.

Eric Blake, a specialist at the hurricane center, said that although Isaac's cone shifted west as it zigzagged toward the Gulf Coast, forecasters accurately predicted its path, intensity and rainfall. He did say the storm came ashore somewhat slower than anticipated.

Blake cautioned against using Katrina as a benchmark for flooding during other storms.

"Every hurricane is different," Blake said. "If you're trying to use the last hurricane to gauge your storm surge risk, it's very dangerous."

Along the shores of Lake Ponchartrain near New Orleans, officials sent scores of buses and dozens of high-water vehicles to help evacuate about 3,000 people as floodwaters lapped against houses and stranded cars.

The water rose waist-high in some neighborhoods, and the Louisiana National Guard worked with sheriff's deputies to rescue people stuck in their homes.

In LaPlace, a Coast Guard helicopter plucked a couple and their dogs from a home after storm surge gushed into their neighborhood and washed many houses away.

"They used a flashlight inside the house as a signaling device, which made all the difference in locating them effectively," Lt. Cmdr. Jorge Porto said.

Crews intentionally breached a levee that was strained by Isaac's floodwaters in southeast Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish, which is outside the federal levee system. At the same time, water at a dam farther north in Mississippi was released in an effort to prevent flooding there.

Since the storm arrived in the U.S., the first two fatalities were a tow truck driver hit by a tree that fell on his vehicle in Picayune, Miss., and a man who fell from a tree while helping friends move a vehicle. Deputies did not know why he climbed the tree.

Although New Orleans' bigger, stronger levee system easily handled the deluge from Isaac, rural areas beyond the city's fortifications had few defenses.

Isaac "has reinforced for us once again just how vulnerable these critical areas are," said Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu. "We must re-engage the Corps of Engineers on this."

More than 900,000 homes and businesses around the state ? about 47 percent of all customers ? were without power Thursday. Utility company Entergy said that included about 157,000 in New Orleans.

New Orleans' biggest problems seemed to be downed power lines, scattered tree limbs and minor flooding.

In Mississippi, several coastal communities struggled with all the extra water, including Pascagoula, where a large portion of the city flooded and water blocked downtown intersections.

High water also prevented more than 800 people from returning to their homes in Bay St. Louis, a small town that lost most of its business district to Katrina's storm surge.

Even though Isaac was weaker, Mayor Les Fillingame said, "every storm is somebody's Katrina, regardless of the intensity."

Barclays names Antony Jenkins as new CEO

British bank Barclays on Thursday named retail and business banking head Antony Jenkins as its new chief executive, replacing Bob Diamond who resigned last month over the interbank rate-rigging scandal.

"Barclays announce that Antony Jenkins has been appointed as a director and as group chief executive of Barclays with immediate effect," the group said in a statement.

The Briton's appointment comes the day after Barclays revealed that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has launched a probe into the 2008 investment deal between the bank and Qatar's sovereign wealth fund.

Jenkins declared that his top priority would be to repair the bank's damaged reputation in the wake of the Libor affair.

"We have made serious mistakes in recent years and clearly failed to keep pace with our stakeholders' expectations," he said in the statement.

"We have an obligation to all of those stakeholders -- customers, clients, shareholders, colleagues and broader society -- and a unique opportunity to restore Barclays' reputation by making it the 'go to' bank in all of our chosen markets.

"That journey will take time, we have much to do, and I look forward to getting started immediately."

Jenkins, 51, was head of Barclays' Retail and Business Banking (RBB) business. He has been a member of the group executive committee of Barclays since 2009.

US national Diamond resigned in July over the rate-rigging scandal that engulfed the bank and sullied London's image as a financial centre.

The scandal erupted in June when British and US regulators fined Barclays ?290 million ($453 million, 369 million euros) after the bank admitted attempting to manipulate the Libor and Euribor rates between 2005 and 2009.

However, the fallout risks becoming much wider, with analysts claiming that the lender could face massive lawsuits since mortgage rates passed onto customers were influenced by Libor rates.

Barclays had already announced that industry veteran David Walker would become its new chairman from November, succeeding Marcus Agius who also quit over the Libor affair.

Deutsche Bank analysts meanwhile described Jenkins as the "natural internal choice" for the position of chief executive.

In Thursday morning trade, however, Barclays' share price slid 1.10 percent to 184.37 pence on London's FTSE 100 index of leading shares, which fell 0.07 percent to 5,739.33 points.

Barclays revealed late Wednesday that the SFO had commenced an investigation into payments "under certain commercial agreements between Barclays and Qatar Holding LLC".

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulator revealed in July it was investigating fees paid by Barclays to Qatar during the 2008 credit crisis.

Child-Friendly Walks in Sydney ? Three Ideas For Your Family ...

Post image for Child-Friendly Walks in Sydney ? Three Ideas For Your FamilyGuest Post by Larissa Mane

When they?re in the house, they?re bored. When they?re outdoors, they?re bored. But when they find something fun, you never hear the end of it. Kids are a tough crowd to entertain sometimes, and that?s especially true when you want to squeeze in some quality time with the bubs and get some exercise at the same time.

If you?re stuck, walking is a great way to take advantage of the beautiful landscapes Sydney has to offer ? plus, there are plenty of fun things for kids to do along the way!

Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach

By far one of the most entertaining walks for kids in Sydney has to be the Bondi to Tamarama Beach walk during ?Sculpture by the Sea? week. The exhibition showcases over 100 breath taking and eye-opening sculptures littered across the 2 km walk by artists from Australia as well as across the globe. But be warned ? kids will be so excited to reach the next sculpture that your leisurely walk could very quickly turn into fast paced jog! Some sculptures are even touch and climb friendly making it a sure winner for children! The walk also includes a ?Tactile Tour? option enabling children with visual impairment and/or intellectual disabilities to enjoy the art as well.

Read more about the entire Bondi to Maroubra walk here.?

Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens

The Royal Botanic Garden

There is just so much to see in the Royal Botanic Gardens that the only difficult decision you?ll have to make is where to begin. As you meander through the majestic oak trees, let the kids be blown away by the slippery eels in the many lakes and creeks in the park as well as a few blue tongue lizards who call the Gardens home.

And what could possibly be better than walking? Why, learning and walking, of course! The Royal Botanic Gardens hold free guided tours at 10.30 am and 1 pm Mondays to Fridays between March ? November.

?Bicentennial Park playground sydney olympic park

Sydney Olympic Park

With its walking trails, flying foxes, bike hire, sculptures and fountains, Sydney Olympic Park is a good training ground for anyone trying to be more active. But the park is also a mecca for biodiversity ? which means you are almost certainly likely to come face-to-face with some of the frogs, bats, birds and reptiles that call the park home. And what?s more, in certain specially marked areas, you can also bring your dog (so long as you keep it on a leash) ? so now every member of the family has the chance to stay fit and lose weight!

Check out all the activities for children at Kids In The Park.

See Seana?s post about the playground at Bicentennial Park here, and about the cafe Lilies in the Park here.

100% The Invisible War

Kirby Dick is a documentary filmmaker known for picking fights with powerful institutions that operate in secrecy. In the Oscar-nominated Twist of Faith, he scrutinized the abuses of the Catholic Church covering up for sexual predators. In 2006's This Film is Not Yet Rated, he hunted down the then-unknown members of the MPAA ratings board and delivered an overwhelming critique of their ratings hypocrisies. With The Invisible War, Dick has taken on a subject that's even more powerful. The Invisible War, which won some awards at the Sundance film festival, examines the rampant numbers of sexual assaults and rape within the military. Through extensive, emotionally draining interviews and enraging statistics, Dick shows that most of the victims, when courageous enough to report their abuse, are met with skepticism, contempt, and injustice. One interview subject says that being raped isn't what makes her angry the most: "It's the commanders that were complicit in covering up everything that happened." This is a shocking, sobering, and eye-opening documentary that deserves to be seen by every American. You owe it to the brave men and women who serve this country, to see this movie. The ugly truth needs to come out and be finally dealt with. The upsetting statistics of sexual abuse within the military come from the Department of Defense, not an advocacy group, but our own government. Here are some of the most devastating stats: -20 percent of all women in the military have been sexually assaulted and/or raped while serving. -Women are twice as likely to be raped in the military rather than outside it. -Military sexual assault/rape victims have a higher rate of PTSD than soldiers who have fought in combat. This is a profoundly revolting, morally repugnant, and infuriating story presented with damning testimonials clear-eyed logic. When I left the theater, I was radiating unquenchable fury. You could have harnessed my rage as an alternative resource. A lot of people blithely say they support the troops but we as a nation are letting these brave men and women down. The system is letting these people down, protecting rapists, training them to be better rapists, and then setting them loose upon the civilian population to continue their heinous crimes (it's estimated the average sexual predator commits 300 acts in his or her lifetime). Listening to these heartbreaking stories can be grueling, but it is vital to listen. The women speak with such candor and bravery, befitting those ready to lay down their lives out of service for this country. But lest you believe this is merely a "women's issue," the film has a few interviews with male victims as well. With men outnumbering women six to one in the military, men are the majority of the victims of sexual abuse, a fact I doubt many would have known. As the experts attest, for an organization that rewards machismo, the shame for men can be compounded by the rampant homophobia within the American military culture. It's sadly understandable that so many of the interview subjects contemplated or attempted suicide. "Suicide or AWOL, those are your only two real options," a military investigator laments. According to TIME's investigative report, one Iraq and/or Afghanistan veteran commits suicide every day in America. Now remember that stat above concerning PTSD, and think about what the suicide rate must be like for victims of sexual abuse. One military man, husband to a rape victim, breaks down in sobs recounting his phone call for help while he tried to stop his wife from taking her own life. Watching proud, grown men break down into tears when they try and make sense of their institution harming their wives or daughters, it's heartbreaking all its own. These veterans would not advise any woman to consider a career in the military, not when this is the sorry state of justice. These victims were often handled with apathetic, callous, or downright hostile behavior, often being blamed for being attacked. These victims risked their careers to report their abuses, expecting some semblance of justice, and many times they were simply ignored or punished for "making waves." One interview subject talks about how her commanding officer related that he had heard about three rape accusations that week and incredulously asked if the women were all in cahoots. One woman was raped and then charged with adultery; she wasn't married but her rapist was, though he was never brought up on charges. Dick's documentary lays a clear argument that giving the commanding officers, people often without any legal training whatsoever, the power to prosecute cases leads to plenty of ignored abuses. In 2010, the military reported 3,158 reports of sexual abuse (remember that 80 percent of cases generally go unreported), but only one-sixth of those cases lead to a court martial and only 175 of the assailants served jail time. And when they do serve jail time, it's often knocked down to mere weeks. That way, the convicted serviceman doesn't get charged with a felony. This also means when they leave the military, the convicted sexual offender does not have to register with a national sex offender database. When investigations do arise, they are routinely stonewalled. What emerges from this inflammatory documentary is that the command's response wasn't to protect the victims but to protect the accused, time and again. These commanders are supposed to be objective and impartial arbitrators, but this is hardly the case. It's all about saving face, and a commander looks bad when he has a rapist in his unit, so rather than expel and punish the rapist, the military often drops the case and punishes the victim. Sometimes the commanding officer the victims are supposed to report the abuse to was in fact the perpetrator. In those instances, the victims have no possible path to justice. Major General Mary Kay Kellogg, Director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (DOSAPRO), said victims could appeal to the Defense Department's Attorney General, hence going over their commander's head. Except that of the almost 3,000 cases sent to the DOD AG, not a single case was ever prosecuted. Kellogg also absurdly suggests that victims petition their Congressman. Just imagine a civilian being raped and told, "Better ask your Congressman if you want justice." The response to the systemic abuses has been ineffectual. The military response was to raise awareness, not sift out rapists from the ranks and protect their own soldiers from sexual predators. The ad campaign to raise awareness is jaw-dropping, with slogans like, "Wait til she's sober," and a horrendously ear-splitting rap song about sexual assault prevention. It's so bad you can almost feel the seething resentment of the military. There's also an informative video with a dramatization of a woman, fleeing helplessly after a man tries to touch her (the fact that this dramatization makes the woman look silly is intentional, me thinks). This woman runs into another serviceman who admonishes her, "Where's your buddy?" The implication is that women should know that they can be raped at any time unless accompanied by a buddy. Does this not imply that every man in the military is capable of rape at the drop of a hat? And what if that buddy ends up being your rapist? The military builds a greater sense of camaraderie, and the men and women in uniform feel like a family. As one interview subject notes, when one soldier rapes another, it is akin to a crime of incest, a betrayal of that family. One victim was told she brought on the sexual harassment because of what she was wearing... which just happened to be her military uniform. Dick's film is obviously advocating a very specific side, but who cares about the idea of presenting balance given the subject? The Department of Defense spokespersons and their rote, officious responses are edited for some major points of baffled, incredulous laughter, as we contrast their company line with the testimonials of the men and women they failed to protect. Again, I return to the notion that not every story has two sides. What exactly is the other side in this epidemic of abuses? What possibly could the merits of the other side be, the status quo? This is not just some anti-military screed. In fact, many of the participants speak so highly of the ideals of the military, the duty to serve, and their genuine feelings of belonging to these hallowed institutions. This makes their disillusionment all the more distressing. Almost every interview subject has a military background, some discharged and some retired, and the movie presents its claims with clear, level evidence. The testimonials are so damming, the abuses so clearly documented, the obfuscation from justice so repeatedly maintained, that I cannot even fathom a second side to this story. When it comes to sexual assault, there is only one side to this issue. Dick also doesn't overplay the obvious emotional appeals in the film. There is plenty, but he doesn't sensationalize the drama or amplify the emotions in a self-serving manner. Instead, the film looks to clearly examine a systematic problem. Rather than deal only with potent outrage, Dick's film is also a call to action with some strong ideas on how to better protect the victims of sexual abuses. Set up an independent system of justice outside of the commanders' control, and work on preventing rapists from joining the military rather than cutting down the possibilities of how women can be raped. How about we punish the guilty party? Last year, a group of veterans who had been sexually abused, initiated a class-action lawsuit against the military. This suit was dismissed by the court because, in their words, rape was an "occupational hazard of military service." Reread that sentence again. Let it sink in. Now ask yourself is that at all acceptable given the values we profess for our country? The culture within the military is simply that rape and sexual abuses are just not that big of a deal (a Congresswoman admits that the Defense AG told her they have "other, higher priorities" to worry about), and so it all continues. The implication is that for the military to function, you're going to have to excuse some excess, that excess being an estimated 30,000 sexual assaults a year. I'd like the military brass to explain to me what number would be unacceptable. How prevalent do these abuses need to be before proper action is taken, and not some facile PR, face-saving empty gesture, but something real? To me, one rape is one too many. Dick's excoriating advocacy documentary is powerful, furious, but sensitive to the victims and their horrifying ordeals. It declares that we can and should do better. In April, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta watched The Invisible War and two days later made some changes. He took the decision to prosecute away from the commanders. It's a start, but there's a long way to go to fixing the military's patronizing view of women. The movie opens with a series of advertisements targeted at women through the years, and the treatment is astoundingly patronizing and the film's only spot of bleak humor. At one point, one of the victims asks if she and her fellow victims hypothetically deserve purple hearts for being wounded in battle too. "We're never going to get anything," another replies. These victims deserve recognition and justice, which has long been denied them. You won't see a more challenging, infuriating, and compelling documentary of this year. It's hard to watch at many points, and I cried at five separate occasions, but this is a movie that needs to be watched. I invite all readers to visit the Not Invisible site and consider joining the advocacy of this noble cause. You say you support the troops? Prove it. Nate's Grade: A

What problems are caused by obesity and the value of Cilais in the ...

August 29th, 2012 by Leave a reply ?

One of the more important functions coordinated by the central government is healthcare. This monitors the current provision of every aspect of the service from training those wanting to join the various professions, to the number and location of hospitals, the types of drugs and treatments safe to use, and so on. At an international level, the World Health Organization has been warning of the rise in the number of people classified as clinically obese. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one-third of our citizens are already obese. When costing the provision of services to deal with all the health problems of those who are overweight, this covers everything from reinforced wheelchairs, gurneys and beds to the different treatments. The United Health Group recently published a policy paper estimating that, by 2018, we would be spending more than 20% of our total budget on the obese. That?s about $345 billion ? a serious chunk of our national cash at a time when we?re all so concerned about the deficit.

Why is all this relevant to erectile dysfunction? The answer from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is that lifestyle has a direct effect on sexual function. Ignoring the physical problems of the overweight in managing penetration, the volume of carbohydrates in the bloodstream usually mean that artherosclerosis is probable. This means erectile dysfunction is going to appear sooner rather than later. Up to this year, the research into the effect of weight loss on sexual function has focused on performance after bariatric surgery where the significant weight loss always produced a dramatic improvement in sexual performance.

This August sees research on a more modest scale, encouraging men diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and erectile dysfunction to diet. The results show any loss of more than 5% of body weight produces a lasting improvement in sexual performance. The men who participated in the study were monitored for a period of twelve months. There are two significant aspects to the findings. The first is the type of diet is irrelevant. The only factor of importance is the weight loss. The second is that, once the magic 5% loss is stabilized, the men were still showing improved sexual function when the study ended. The suggestion is therefore you will have better erections so long as you maintain the weight loss.

The advantage of this approach is you improve sexual performance and get a better quality of life by losing weight. If you can go on to lose more than 5%, it will also reduce the problem of Type 2 Diabetes and help avoid heart attacks. You could recover your hard erections by using Cialis. But why spend money on drugs when you can get the same result by just eating less? Obviously, should dieting be too big a challenge, Cialis will give you short-term relief, but note the limited timeframe. You decide what?s best in the long run.

Gambia confirms execution of 9 death row inmates

BANJUL, Gambia (AP) ? The government of Gambia has confirmed that it has executed nine inmates who were on death row, saying in a statement issued by the Ministry of Interior that the prisoners were killed by firing squad on Sunday.

President Yahya Jammeh announced during his end-of-Ramadan speech that his government would execute all the prisoners on death row in a move to curb crime . The statement issued by the ministry late Monday says, "Following the convictions and pronouncements of death sentences by the Gambian Courts of competent jurisdiction and further to the exhaustion of their appeals, the Ministry of Interior wishes to inform the general public that the following convicts were executed by firing squad on Sunday 26th August, 2012." Amnesty International says the nine prisoners were executed Friday.

ArQule plunges on delay in cancer drug study

NEW YORK (AP) ? Shares of ArQule Inc. plunged Wednesday after the company said one of its partners has stopped enrolling patients in a clinical trial of its cancer drug tivantinib.

THE SPARK: ArQule's Japanese partner Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co. temporarily suspended enrollment of patients in a late-stage trial of tivantinib as a treatment for lung cancer. Kyowa made the decision on a recommendation from a safety monitoring committee because some patients are believed to have contracted interstitial lung disease.

Interstitial lung disease is a group of conditions that cause scarring of the lung tissue and impair a patient's ability to breathe. The Mayo Clinic says the scarring is generally irreversible.

ArQule disclosed the stoppage in a form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday. It said Kyowa Hakko Kirin is still treating patients who had already enrolled in the study.

THE BIG PICTURE: Tivantinib is designed to block a molecule that is involved in cancer cell growth, blood vessel formation, survival, and metastasis. It is also being studied as a treatment for liver cancer and other forms of the disease in addition to lung cancer.

Kyowa Hakko Kirin has the rights to market the drug in Japan and some other Asian countries, and Daiichi Sankyo, another Japanese drug company, has the rights to market the drug in the U.S., Europe, South America, and other regions.

In January, ArQule and Daiichi Sankyo said tivantinib delayed the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of primary liver cancer, by 56 percent compared to a placebo.

Tivantinib is ArQule's most advanced drug candidate. The Woburn, Mass., company has three other drugs in early-stage clinical testing.

SHARE ACTION: ArQule shares sank $1.31, or 19.6 percent, to $5.39 in afternoon trading. Earlier the stock dropped 28 percent to $4.81. Before the start of trading on Wednesday, ArQule stock was down 19.5 percent from its annual high of $8.32.

Microdata, Your Website, and Search Engine Optimization

Search engine companies Google, Bing, and Yahoo compete heavily for market share, so when they gang together in order to work on search engine optimization tools it is the wise web master who takes notice. ?Their newest collaborative effort is Microdata, a tool designed to increase the accuracy and efficiency of search engine results pages.

What is Microdata?

Microdata is a way of tagging your HTML5 content to help search engines figure out what the content is and, therefore, how relevant it is to a search request. ?The new tags are called ?schema?. ?Each schema has its own set of properties, some of which may be shared by other schemas and some of which are completely unique. Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo have worked together to create thousands of these schemas for all kinds of items both tangible and intangible.

How do I use it?

  • Use schema tags only on the visible content on your webpage.
  • Use itemscope to specify that everything following is part of the schema?(example: <div itemscope)
  • Add the itemtype element after itemscope in order to tell the search engine the what type of information is being discussed (example: <div itemscope itemtype=?http://schema.org/Book?>
  • Itemtypes must always be expressed as url?s (example: http://schema.org/Itemtype)
  • Tag supporting details with itemprop (example: itemprop=?name? or itemprop=?publisher?)

Why put in all the effort to add it?

If you don?t add the schema tags, you?re leaving it up to the search engine bots to try and figure out what your content means, where to place it, and how to rank it. ?Naturally, this leaves a whole lot of room for error. ?If you want to be sure that the content you have worked so hard to create and promote is accurately processed by the search engines, it?s worth the effort to add the schema tags to your posts.

What about WordPress?

Where can I find out more?

The single best source of information on schema tags is http://www.w3.org ? the internet standards experts.
