Pet Food Horror ? What's in the food? It's ... - Accessories for Cats

WARNING: This is utterly shocking information. Many may prefer not to see this but what you don?t know will kill your pets. On the FDA site they claim they came up with a test to find out if dog or cat DNA is in only a few brands none of which were mentioned. FDA claims there were no Dog & Cat DNA in the brands tested yet FDA does admit there are levels of phenobarbital in the pet foods. FDA?s explanation is that euthanized rendered horses are likely. www.fda.gov This site explains what happens to horses equineprotectionnetwork.com So let me ask you this, all animals go to the same rendering plant, it?s all protein meat, all the same when processed. Do you really think they separate euthanized Dogs & cats from the horses then label them differently? I doubt it. Somebody needs to see if that DNA test is even real or if we are looking at an FDA cover up through payoffs because this happens all the time with the drug companies & imagine the cost to the Pet Food industry if they actually have to buy fresh human grade meat. Its worth a payoff to protect the industry

Video lab coat turns geek to chic

Sandrine Ceurstemont, video producer

The "geek-in-a-lab-coat" look is now in, if you happen to be sporting this groovy video coat displaying an episode of The Simpsons (see video above). Inventor David Forbes, who runs a company called Cathode Corner, was inspired to build the garment while queuing for tickets to the Burning Man festival earlier this year. "I had seen how effective an LED coat could be the year before, with a fellow wearing a metal suit covered with blinking LEDs," he says. "Why not build a coat covered in a video screen? No one had done that before."

Building a colour TV from scratch isn't an easy task but Forbes' experience working on radio telescopes at the University of Arizona was useful. "I use programmable gate arrays in my day job," he says.

He fashioned the coat from flexible boards lined with colour LEDs. Video can be fed into a controller circuit by hooking up a video iPod or other video source, so that the signal gets digitised and split into its red, green and blue components. They're distributed through cables to four quadrant controllers that store the data and can be used to manipulate the LED display.

This weekend, Forbes will showing off the garment at the Maker Faire in Detroit. "I plan to connect a video camera to it so people can see themselves on me," he says. Although some have proposed turning the coat into a cloaking device, it would be tricky to create since the screen would have to account for different points of view to display what's behind the wearer. The system may however be of interest to advertisers looking for high-tech sandwich boards.

Legal Malpractice Law In Usa- Container-World.com Legal Resources

Legal malpractice:

When the patient is injured by the negligence of doctor, doctor bears the legal responsibility. When the driver of car rash and negligently drives a car and causes the death of person, a driver bears the responsibility. When the building collapses as the poor construction work of contractor or engineer, an engineer or contractor bears the responsibility.

Similarly, the laws related to legal malpractice in USA are made to compensate the clients by Attorneys.

An attorney is always the defendant in legal malpractice case. Legal malpractice is an act of attorney which causes harm to the client when the attorney breaches his fiduciary or contractual duty towards a client.

It is also become common in USA that when attorneys sue clients for attorneys? fees, many clients assert malpractice as a defense.

Legal malpractice and unauthorized practice of law:

Although both the term refers to an act towards the client, there is quite difference between the both. It is the right of an every individual to represent them before the court. When the person represents others, it requires proper education, training and an experience. A lawyer needs to act / practice within the scope/ definition of practice of law[1]. When he breaches such duty it amounts to unauthorized practice of law. E.g. practice of law by Californian attorney in New York without the license from the bar council of New York.

Professional responsibility and Legal malpractice:

While the Professional responsibility?encompasses the duties of?attorneys?to act in a professional manner, obey the law, avoid?conflicts of interest, and put the interests of clients ahead of their own interests[2]. Legal malpractice occurs when there is a breach of professional responsibility towards the client

Legal Malpractice and Legal Outsourcing:

An attorney is not said to made legal malpractice by outsourcing legal process to outside providers. However the law requires that client has the information about his work being outsourced to the LPO providers, and there shall be supervision by an attorney towards the work performed by LPO providers. There is also an opinions of American Bar council and many bar council of the states as to the outsourcing the legal process and have opined that there is no unethical practice involved in outsourcing legal process to LPO providers.

Governing law:

Most of the civil laws of the states in USA govern the law related to the Legal malpractice. Federal law is also applicable when it relates to a federal question. Besides the judge made law, ruling, decisions and opinions on the cases will govern the Legal malpractice cases.

An attorney also subjected to the criminal law if he commits fraud/ theft on the client account.

Ethics of the bar council of the state also govern in initiating the disciplinary proceeding against an attorney.

Jurisdiction:

Generally cases are brought before the state courts where the case was filed / where the attorney represented the client and the breach is occurred. However, case is also filed in federal district courts when it involves the federal question. Federal Courts would be having exclusive jurisdiction over the legal malpractice case when itrequires the resolution of a substantial question of federal patent law[3]. But it is still unclear about the jurisdiction of by state or federal courts when the cases arise form IP matters[4].

There is also an issue as to filing legal malpractice cases against the lawyers from other state. Case is particularly filed in the state where the attorney represented the client and in the state where the attorney has license to practice.

Statistics on legal malpractice:

Every 4 to 5 law professional out of hundred have to face a lawsuit in a year[5]. Each year, over 35,000 lawsuits are filed against insured lawyers for legal malpractice.?Figure would be more if included uninsured lawyers[6].

Statutory limits for filing[7]:

Statutory limits for filing legal malpractice suit against the Lawyers varies from 1 to 4 years. It is 2years in Alabama, Alaska, and Arizona. In Nevada 4 years or 2 years from discovery, whichever occurs earlier.

In Louisiana State, case shall be brought unless filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and proper venue within one year from the date of the alleged act, omission, or neglect, or within one year from the date that the alleged act, omission, or neglect is discovered or should have been discovered[8]

In New York State, three years from the date of the legal malpractice or from the date until the attorney stops representing the client in that matter[9]. (NY CPLR ? 214(6),)If it is against the minor if the victim is a child under 18 years old, his or her statute of limitations does not even start to run until he or she is 18, so normally it would expire on his or her 21st birthday[10]. In?New Jersey, a lawsuit must be filed within six years of when the malpractice occurred[11].

In Pennsylvania, legal malpractice claim must be brought within 2 years[12] from the date the plaintiff should have reasonably learned about the malpractice.?

In Texas, the general rule is that legal malpractice cases must be brought within two years from the time the injured party knew or should have known of the legal malpractice[13].?Likewise different states have adopted different types of statutes of limitations and the beginning of limitation period and certain exceptions to the limitations etc.

Remedies/actions for Legal Malpractice:

When the client assigns his case to an attorney, he is expected to act prudently and within the contract with the attorney. How can a client tolerate with the injury caused by an attorney to a client? There are laws in USA to address these remedies; a client injured in a legal malpractice case can file a civil law suit against the attorney in the competent court of the state to recover damages. An attorney also subjected to criminal prosecution when he commits a fraud or theft on the money or the property entrusted with the attorney. A client can also bring the act of legal malpractice to the notice of disciplinary committee of the bar council of particular state where the bar council imposes sanctions including disbarment or the payment of fine to state bar association.

?

What amounts to legal malpractice?

A lawyer has the duty, in all dealings and relations with a client, to act with honesty, good faith, fairness, integrity, and fidelity. A lawyer must possess the legal skill and knowledge that is ordinarily possessed by members of the profession.

Once the lawyer and the client terminate their relationship, a lawyer is not allowed to acquire an interest that is adverse to a client, in the event that this might constitute a breach of the Attorney-Client Privilege. In addition, a lawyer cannot use information that he obtained from a client as a result of their relationship.

Every state in USA has adopted its own ground for claiming Legal malpractice. In general, legal malpractice may arises from

  1. Existence of professional duty to the person harmed.
  2. Professional negligence (violation of a duty owed to the client);
  1. Missing of deadlines for filing of suit within time limit law required by statute.
  2. negligent errors,

19. Failure to Properly Investigate & Perform Discovery

  1. Failure to meet court deadlines.
  2. Failure to act within the statute of limitations.
  3. Failure to return phone calls or communicate with a client.
  4. Failure to resolve conflicts of interest.
  5. Failure to know the law or perform adequate research.
  6. Abuse or misuse of a client?s trust account, including commingling trust account funds with the attorney?s personal account.
  7. Improper withdrawal from representation.

32. Failure to file a lawsuit or motion in time

33. Overbilling

34. Failure to obtain client?s consent before agreeing to a settlement / plea bargain

35. Failure to discuss a settlement offer with client

36. Failure to file a case before the statute of limitation expires

37. Making mistakes in drafting contracts, wills, trusts, and other legal documents

38. Failure to present relevant evidence at trial

Burden on the Plaintiff:

Filing a legal malpractice suit is not an easier one; a plaintiff needs to establish certain things against the lawyer. There is a burden on the plaintiff to show cause that there are prima facie grounds against the lawyer to prove legal malpractice. Burden of proof also may vary defending on the law of the state. In general plaintiff needs to show?following Prima facie elements

1. must establish that there is an attorney and client relationship.: an attorney client relationship can arise by either express agreement or by implication from the parties actions.

2. Must prove the breach of duty toward the client (breach of contract/ violation of standard of care) e.g. Not representing client properly, not filing documents in time, misusing the money and property entrusted with the lawyer.

3. That the negligence was a proximate cause of an injury: A plaintiff needs to show that the negligent act of the defendant was the proximate cause (and not some other reason) of the damages to the plaintiff (person filing the lawsuit).

4. Must prove that the client was injured due to the malpractice. If there is no injury, then there is no ground for proving the case case.

5. Damage: Plaintiff shall prove the damages actually suffered and the nature and amount of the damages suffered. Even if all other elements are proved and the damage is not proved the case is likely to be dismissed.

Defenses:

  1. Error due to an issue of law was unsettled or debatable.
  2. The ??Attorney Judgment Rule?: under this rule a lawyer is not liable for small errors in the judgments where the attorney made those judgments in good faith
  3. Changes in the law?? A lawyer shall not be made responsible for wrong advice, merely because the attorney?s advice or representation turns out to be faulty based upon subsequent?changes in the law.
  4. The ?Case within a case?(suit within a suit)?- this involves a retrial of the original litigation within the context of the subsequent malpractice action ? a case within a case.
  5. attorney-Client Privilege?- In defending against an accusation of malpractice, a lawyer may be permitted to use what were formerly privileged communications from the plaintiff in order to respond to plaintiff?s accusations.
  6. ?Proximate Cause: attorney?s negligence did not proximately cause[14] of his client?s claimed damage. An attorney take defense as to his negligence was not the proximate cause of the damage to the plaintiff.

In one of the case, anattorney had made a mistake in the legal description of land encumbered by a mortgage that he was retained to foreclose which delayed the sale of the property, giving the mortgagor time to raise the money required to redeem. The attorney?s client sued him for malpractice, seeking to recover the loss of the increased value of the property. A jury awarded the client ,000 in damages. On appeal, the reviewing court stated that the attorney?s negligence, if any, could not be a proximate cause of the client?s loss.

Similarly failure to obtain expert witness, failure to submit affidavit, failure to join parties in litigation, failure to file a complaint, late filing of answers to request for admissions, failure to adequately investigate party?s assets and insurance coverage, failure to inform client of dismissal of case, failure to prevail on a meritless defense, failure to uncover evidence in suit on option contract, failure to move for judgment n.o.v., failure to inform bankruptcy judge of bid for bankrupt estate, failure to submit affidavit prepared by client, failure to ?adequately? represent client, failure to invoke a statutory defense, failure to prevent client?s suicide, failure to identify all of spouse?s assets, failure to move for default, and failure to inform client of settlement offer would not always be ground for legal malpractice unless there is a proximate cause of the Attorney[15].

Judge: Time to unseal Nixon's Watergate testimony (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Thirty-six years after Richard Nixon testified to a grand jury about the Watergate break-in that drove him from office, a federal judge on Friday ordered the secret transcript made public.

But the 297 pages of testimony won't be available immediately, because the government gets time to decide whether to appeal.

The Obama administration opposed the transcript's release, chiefly to protect the privacy of people discussed during the ex-president's testimony who are still alive.

Nevertheless, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth agreed with historians who sued for release of the documents that the historical significance outweighs arguments for secrecy, because the investigations are long over and Nixon has been dead 17 years.

Nixon was interviewed behind closed doors near his California home for 11 hours over two days in June 1975, 10 months after resigning the presidency. Two grand jurors were flown in and the transcript was read to the rest of the panel sitting back in Washington. It was the first time a former U.S. president testified before a grand jury ? Bill Clinton became the first sitting president to do so during the Monica Lewinsky investigation.

At the time of his testimony, Nixon could not be prosecuted for conduct related to Watergate because he had been pardoned by President Gerald Ford. Ten days after Nixon testified, the grand jury was dismissed without making any indictments based on what he told them.

The historians say the testimony could address ongoing debate over Nixon's knowledge of the break-in at Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate complex and his role in the cover-up.

"Nixon knew when you testified before a grand jury you exposed yourself to perjury, so I'm betting he told the truth," said University of Wisconsin Professor Stanley Kutler, who filed the lawsuit along with four historians' organizations. Kutler, author of "Abuse of Power: The New Nixon Tapes," previously successfully sued to force the release of audio recordings Nixon secretly made in the Oval Office. "Now, what did he tell the truth about? I don't know."

Newspapers reported at the time of Nixon's testimony that he was questioned about the 18 1/2-minute gap in his Oval Office tapes, changes made to White House transcripts of the recordings, his administration's use of the Internal Revenue Service to harass his political enemies, and a $100,000 campaign contribution from billionaire Howard Hughes. But the details of what the president said have never leaked out.

Several Watergate figures filed declarations in support of the historians' petition, including Nixon's White House counsel John Dean, who served prison time for his role in the scandal. Dean wrote that Nixon's testimony covers topics that the president only vaguely discussed in his memoirs and his revelations to the grand jury would help stop "those wanting to twist and distort history."

In rejecting the Obama administration's arguments for privacy, Lamberth pointed out that most of the surviving Watergate figures have either written about it, given interviews or spoke under oath about their involvement in testimony that is already public. "The court is confident that disclosure will greatly benefit the public and its understanding of Watergate without compromising the tradition and objectives of grand jury secrecy," Lamberth wrote.

Justice Department spokesman Charles Miller said Friday that government attorneys were reviewing the ruling.

Other courts have on occasion ordered the release of grand jury records because of their historical value, including those investigating espionage allegations against Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

Using Your Home Brew Kit Properly ? Thought Potato

Lots of time the urge to finally take the plunge into home brewing comes when you went to the brew pub and paid ten dollars for an imported beer of one that was brewed in their pub. And even if that beer is good, it?s easy to start to suspect that you could do as well making beer and that your beer would be perfectly fresh and would cost a lot less than ten dollars a glass to enjoy this flavor all the time. When that thought crossed your mind, the home brewer in you is born.

The community of beer lovers is very large as documented in the huge beer sales that stay consistent around the world. That is why it is almost a shame and a crime when beer is mass produced and bad beer is sold so widely. It?s a crime because it is so easy to make really good beer. If you have that desire to enjoy the finest of this ancient recipe and maybe crossing the line to want to BE a maker of great beer, you will find that getting started on this great hobby is far easier than you may have thought. And yes while you will have to learn a few things about the process of making beer, it will be more fun than any class you took in high school for sure because you are learning to make something you love and you get to drink your final exam!

Unlike school though, once you get down the basic process of home brewing, the variety of ?right answers? to how to make a great beer are diverse and fun to play with. You can try different grains, hops and yeast combinations. You can adjust when each ingredient is added and learn how to balance the bitter flavor with the hops flavor to give you a deep rich blend or a light beer and all using the same equipment and much the same ingredients. So with that enticement to the fun and endless variety you can find in a hobby of home brewing, it?s just a matter of getting started.

It?s very easy to fall under the influence of ?beer purists? who will advocate very expensive and complicated equipment and using exotic ingredients to make a beer of very high quality and taste. If you make it a practice to socialize at the home brewing retailer or at home brewing clubs or web sites, it?s easy to pick up that side of the home brewing community that is very particular and advanced in the craft of home brewing.

But it is important to remember that just starting out that you are not a home brewing purist yet! And its best not to try to be one because starting out, its best to let others help you get some very basic equipment so you can learn the craft of home brewing and develop your skills easily and without so much pressure. If you spend thousands on very elaborate and hard to operate equipment too soon, you will be frustrated and if the outcome is not just right, you will be disappointed. So cut yourself some slack and buy just the basics and just learn to make a very down to earth starter batch of beer. If it is drinkable at all after you step through the process a few times, you are doing great. And you have all the time in the world to learn your craft and grow until you can afford to be a ?beer purist? and be fussy and particular too.

So don?t be ashamed to buy a basic beer making kit at the beer retailer store or online to get you started. These kits come with all you need in equipment and supplies to step through making your first few batches of beer. It?s important you give yourself the time to use these starter kits to learn your basic skills. Then once you have the basics, it will be great fun to buy different types of grains, hops and yeasts and experiment to refine your skills. That is a natural way to learn and away to become along time beer making enthusiasts and enjoy this wonderful hobby for many years to come.

What Is Multiple Sclerosis: Facts About MS In A Nutshell | Health ...

Disseminated Sclerosis, more popularly known as Multiple Sclerosis, is the disease of the Central Nervous System (the main component of which is the brain and the spinal cord). It is widely accepted as an autoimmune disease, a result of the body attacking its own structures.

The cells of the body and the immune system and its chemicals (which are supposed to protect the body against pathogens) attack the myelin sheath or the covering of the nerve cells instead. This causes damage or demyelination, scars or sclerosis and inflammation.

Although multiple sclerosis affects men, women are at higher risks of developing this autoimmune disease, making them 2 to 3 times more likely to develop the condition. It is typically found among people aged 20 to 50 years old.

The myelin sheath that is largely affected by this disease is the protective insulation of the neurons. Without this, it would be quite impossible for the neurons to transmit nerve impulses between each other.

Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis

Patients of multiple sclerosis suffer from phlegmatic transference of nerve signals which make them somewhat incapable of responding to external and internal stimuli, somewhat unable to interpret sensations correctly and their body movements become less coordinated. Like damages to electrical wires, multiple sclerosis prevents the fast delivery of brain signals to all parts of the body.

No one is certain what causes this disease. What is only known is that it is a product of an abnormal immune system response which turns out to be harmful to the protective coating of the neurons. Theories such as a triggering illness, virus or other agents during childhood are being tested though.

Diagnoses to determine the presence of the disease are not conclusive though they may show strong indications of the presence of multiple sclerosis. Tests such as MRI and analysis of the cerebral fluids may potentially establish the onset of the disease. The best thing physicians and specialists can do is to rule out other conditions that may evoke the same symptoms.

Demyelination may happen at any time, to any part of the brain and the spinal cord with no known reason. The location of the damage determines what symptoms will manifest and how severe the symptoms will be. This makes each episode or relapse different from one person to another and from one occasion to another.

There are common symptoms though which include fatigue, severe headache, weakness and numbness of the extremities, loss of balance, lack of coordination, visual problems, incontinence due to loss of bladder control, loss of bowel movement control, depression and other severe emotional conditions, difficulty of speaking, and minor and severe cognitive problems. The combination of these symptoms differs on which parts of the brain or the spinal cord are damaged and how severe the damage is.

While multiple sclerosis can advance to more aggravated stages where functions are seriously debilitated, it is, nevertheless, neither fatal nor contagious. Though many deaths have been associated with the diseases due, in part, to its capacity to lessen life expectancy.

Healing after a relapse may occur. However since damages to the myelin sheath are permanent, there is a high possibility that the effects of such damages are permanent. There is very small chance of reverting to the pre-onset conditions even with medications and therapies.

There are currently no available cures for this disease though symptom-control treatments can be availed to provide short-term relief. On-going clinical trials and research are yet to shed new light on the nature of the disease and treatments.

Amy Winehouse's Music Sales Spike

Back to Black has stormed back onto the Billboard 200 albums chart since the singer's death on Saturday.

In the same way that fans rushed out to buy Michael Jackson's music following his passing in June 2009, Amy Winehouse's album and single sales have skyrocketed in the days since her death at age 27 on Saturday.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, Winehouse sold more albums in the past reporting week (which ended on Sunday) than she did in the first six months of this year, moving 50,000 copies versus 44,000 year-to-date as of July 17.

MTV celebrates Amy Winehouse's music with a special show this Wednesday.

That sales push has sent her second album, 2006's breakthrough Back to Black, into the #9 position on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week, with 37,000 copies sold. In the previous week, the album had sold just 1,000 copies. In a testament to the power of the Internet, of those Black sales, 36,000 were digital.

Sales of Winehouse's 2003 debut, Frank, were also up, charting at #57 with nearly 8,000 in sales, a 4,100 percent jump from the week before. As with Black, nearly all of the Frank sales (7,000) were digital, with online purchases accounting for more than 95 percent off all of Winehouse's sales this week.

The figures for Black were the highest weekly tally since the week ending March 2, 2008, when it moved 38,000 units just two weeks after the British singer won five Grammy Awards.

Read more about Amy Winehouse's influence on music beyond "Rehab."

Fans were also snatching up some of Winehouse's most beloved singles, with "Rehab" racking up 34,000 in digital sales, or nearly one-third of the total 111,000 in digital track sales for the singer this week. That's a major jump from her digital sales in the previous week, which topped out at 5,000.

Given the fact that Nielsen's reporting period ends on Sunday, it is expected that next week's chart will see an even bigger boost in Winehouse record sales.

Celebrate Amy Winehouse on Wednesday night (July 27) at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT, when MTV will air an encore presentation of a performance she taped in the MTV studios in 2007.

Norway rampage culprit held in isolation (AP)

OSLO, Norway ? The self-described perpetrator of Norway's deadly bombing and shooting rampage was ordered held in solitary confinement Monday after calmly telling a court that two other cells of collaborators stood ready to join his murderous campaign.

Anders Behring Breivik, who has admitted bombing the capital and opening fire on a youth group retreat on an island resort, told authorities he expects to spend the rest of his life in prison. Declaring he wanted to save Europe from "Muslim domination," he entered a plea of not guilty that will guarantee him future court hearings and opportunities to address the public, even indirectly.

Norway has been stunned by the attacks and riveted by Breivik's paranoid and disturbing writings. Hundreds thronged the courthouse, hoping to get their first glimpse of the man blamed for the deaths of 76 people ? lowered Monday from 93. At one point, a car drove through the crowd and onlookers beat it with their fists, thinking Breivik might be inside.

Still tens of thousands of Norwegians also defied his rhetoric of hate to gather in central Oslo to mourn the victims and lay thousands of flowers around the city.

Police believe Breivik, 32, acted alone, despite his grand claims in a 1,500-page manifesto that he belonged to a modern group of crusaders. But they have not completely ruled out that he had accomplices.

Judge Kim Heger ordered Breivik held for eight weeks, including four in isolation, noting his reference to "two more cells within our organization."

In an interview published Monday, Breivik's estranged father said he wished his son had killed himself instead of unleashing his rage on innocent people.

The outpouring of emotion stood in stark contrast to what prosecutor Christian Hatlo described as Breivik's calm demeanor at the hearing, which was closed to the public over security concerns and to prevent a public airing of his extremist views. Hatlo said he "seemed unaffected by what has happened."

Meanwhile, police revealed they had dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in the shooting spree on Utoya island, lowering the death toll there from 86 to 68. Police spokesman Oystein Maeland said police and rescuers were focused on helping survivors and securing the area, and may have counted some bodies twice, though he did not immediately explain how the errors occurred.

Police also raised the toll from a bombing outside the government's headquarters in Oslo from seven to eight.

The sharp reduction in the death toll adds to a list of police missteps: They took 90 minutes to arrive at the island retreat after the first shot and survivors who called emergency services reported being told to stay off the lines unless they were calling about the Oslo bombings.

On Monday, the force revealed its entire Oslo helicopter crew had been sent on vacation and thus couldn't be mobilized to the scene.

By contrast, Breivik, who donned a police uniform as part of a ruse to draw campers to him, appeared in total control during the island rampage, police official Odd Reidar Humlegaard said.

"He's been merciless," Humlegaard said.

Authorities say Breivik used two weapons during the island attack ? both bought legally, according to his manifesto. A doctor treating victims told The Associated Press the gunman used illegal "dum-dum"-style bullets designed to disintegrate inside the body and cause maximum internal damage.

Breivik faces 21 years in prison for the terrorism charges, but he has told authorities he never expects to be released. While 21 years is the stiffest sentence a Norwegian judge can hand down, a special sentence can be given to prisoners deemed a danger to society who are locked up for 20-year sentences that can be renewed indefinitely.

Oslo began to get back to normal Monday, with shops opening and the tram running.

The entire country paused for a minute of silence in honor of the victims, then later in the day, 150,000 people filled the city's streets to mourn the dead with a rose vigil that ended in the heart of the city. Afterward, entire streets were awash in flowers; roses also decorated the fences that blocked off Friday's bomb site.

Crown Prince Haakon spoke "of a street being filled with love," bringing his wife, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, to tears. "We have the power to meet hate with togetherness. We have chosen what we stand for," he said.

Breivik has pilloried Norway's openness and embrace of immigrants, saying his attacks were intended to start a revolution to inspire Norwegians to retake their country from Muslims. He blames liberals for championing multiculturalism over Norway's "indigenous" culture.

"The operation was not to kill as many people as possible but to give a strong signal that could not be misunderstood that as long as the Labor Party keeps driving its ideological lie and keeps deconstructing Norwegian culture and mass importing Muslims, then they must assume responsibility for this treason," according to the English translation of Judge Heger's ruling.

Breivik has claimed the killings were meant to wake people up to these problems and to serve as "marketing" for his manifesto.

Heger, however, denied Breivik the public stage he wanted to air his extremist views by closing Monday's court hearing and ordering him cut off from the world for eight weeks, without access to visitors, mail or media. For four of those, he will be in complete isolation. Typically, the accused is brought to court every four weeks while prosecutors prepare their case, so a judge can approve his continued detention. Longer periods are not unusual in serious cases.

In the court appearance, Breivik alluded to two other "cells" of his network ? which he refers to in his manifesto as a new "Knights Templar," the medieval cabal of crusaders who protected Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land.

In the treatise, he describes being invited to join the group, which he says is dedicated to "anti-jihad," and claims members held meetings in London and the Baltics. Afterward, he says, they vowed not to contact one another and to instead plan their "resistance" on their own.

But they were also to space out their attacks, he wrote. "We should avoid any immediate follow-up attacks as it would negate the shock effect of the subsequent attacks. A large successful attack every 5-12 years was optimal," he wrote.

At one point, his manifesto briefly referred to an intention to contact two other cells, but no details were given.

European security officials said they were aware of increased Internet chatter from individuals claiming they belonged to the Knights Templar and were investigating claims that Breivik, and other far-right individuals, attended a London meeting of the group in 2002.

In his manifesto, Breivik describes how he bought armor, guns, tons of fertilizer and other bomb components, stashed caches of weapons and wiped clean his computer hard drive ? all while evading police suspicion.

One of those purchases apparently was flagged by Norway's police security service. The service said it was alerted in March to a suspicious purchase by Breivik from a Polish chemical firm.

Agency chief Janne Kristiansen told national broadcaster NRK the 120 kroner ($22) purchase of an undisclosed product set off an alert as part of a broader look at the company. But the transaction was legal and the security service would have needed additional information to investigate further.

In his manifesto, Breivik describes a purchase of sodium nitrite from Poland, saying he "was concerned about customs seizing the package." It was not clear if that was the purchase flagged.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Swedish tabloid Expressen, the suspect's father said he was ashamed and disgusted by his son's acts and wished he had committed suicide.

"I don't feel like his father," said Jens David Breivik, a former Norwegian diplomat, from his secluded home in southern France. "How could he just stand there and kill so many innocent people and just seem to think that what he did was OK? He should have taken his own life too. That's what he should have done."

The elder Breivik said he first learned the news of his son's attacks from media websites. "I couldn't believe my eyes. It was totally paralyzing and I couldn't really understand it."

"I will have to live with this shame for the rest of my life. People will always link me with him," he said.

The elder Breivik said he severed all contact with his son in 1995, when the latter was 16.

Police surrounded the suspect's father's house in the south of France on Monday, initially saying they were searching the premises. Later, they said they were there to ensure public order.

Breast Implants and Its Costs | Articles Beneficial

Cosmetic surgery is gradually becoming less costly as time goes by. From surgical operations like breast augmentation to less invasive procedures such as laser hair removal, plastic surgery is getting more popular, and this popularity is making it more affordable. In 2010, 296,203 breast augmentation procedures were done and remains the top plastic surgery procedure in the US for women, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The good news about breast augmentation is that the cost varies from state to state and from patient to patient. Where a patient lives also plays a major role in cost for breast implants. In Dallas, the cost differs depending on the suburb or neighboring city in which you decide to seek a surgeon. There are more financial options available to people interested in breast augmentation in Dallas than ever before. Now patients can have cosmetic surgical procedures financed or even take out loans available through some financial institutions, making these procedures more accessible than ever before. Insurance, however, usually doesn?t cover breast augmentations.

The price will also be affected by the surgeon?s experience. The national average breast augmentation fee that a surgeon charges, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, is $3,351. Keep in mind that it is more expensive to consult a surgeon backed with years of experience in performing breast augmentation procedures. Before having your surgeon perform breast augmentation, make sure that you did your own research, as the surgeon you select will greatly affect the cost of your surgery. Talk to different surgeons about the advantages and disadvantages of the surgery before choosing one. You can also choose a board certified plastic surgeon but expect to pay more.

The cost of breast augmentation in Dallas is also affected by other factors besides location and choice of surgeon. Your choice of implant will also determine the cost for breast implants. You can choose between saline and silicon implants, the prices of which vary greatly. There are also miscellaneous fees such as the cost of having a medical anesthesiologist, which is highly advisable, as well as deciding to have the surgery at a certified surgery center. There are many other expenses that you need to consider when undergoing breast augmentation surgery. This includes post-surgery garments, medicines prescribed by physician, medical examinations and other additional fees.

Whatever additional features and whoever you choose to perform the breast augmentation in Dallas, make sure you feel comfortable and that you have seen examples of a surgeon?s previous work in before and after photos. No matter what you read or hear, you must feel comfortable first and foremost. Cost is usually the deciding factor when considering breast augmentation. The first step is to set up consultations with several augmentation specialists and request estimates ? this will help when deciding on the right implant, surgical facility, and surgeon and help envision the overall outcome.

A wide variety of information is available on a breast augmentation in Dallas. If you are looking into getting breast implants in Dallas educate yourself on everything you might need to consider.

Theater Review: ‘Pop!’ Paints Bold Portrait Of Warhol And His Inner Circle

The Washington Post:

Absence is a tough concept to cover in a musical. We are far more conditioned for characters to sing to fill a void than for their melodic personalities to hover, enigmatically, in a theater?s negative space.

So for its novelty alone, Maggie-Kate Coleman and Anna K. Jacobs?s ?Pop!? ? a 90-minute musical tumble down the curious rabbit hole of artist Andy Warhol ? is an intriguing and on occasion rousing evening, a bold and inventive attempt to give tuneful form to Warhol?s obsessive pursuit of the mundane.

Obama: Halt '3-ring-circus' of debt-limit debate (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Decrying a "partisan three-ring circus" in the nation's capital, President Barack Obama criticized a newly minted Republican plan to avert an unprecedented government default Monday night and said congressional leaders must produce a compromise that can reach his desk before the Aug. 2 deadline.

"The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn't vote for a dysfunctional government," the president said in a hastily arranged prime-time speech. He appealed to the public to contact lawmakers and demand "a balanced approach" to reducing federal deficits.

Obama stepped to the microphones a few hours after first Republicans, then Democrats drafted rival fallback legislation Monday to avert a potentially devastating government default in little more than a week.

Obama said the approach unveiled earlier in the day by House Speaker John Boehner would raise the nation's debt limit only long enough to push off the threat of default for six months. "In other words, it doesn't solve the problem," he said.

The president had scarcely completed his remarks when Boehner made an extraordinary rebuttal carried live on the nation's networks.

"The president has often said we need a `balanced' approach, which in Washington means we spend more, you pay more," the Ohio Republican said, speaking from a room just off the House floor.

"The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today. That is just not going to happen."

Directly challenging the president, Boehner said there "is no stalemate in Congress."

He said the Republicans' newest legislation would clear the House, could clear the Senate and then would be sent to Obama for his signature.

The back-to-back televised speeches did little to suggest that a compromise was in the offing, and the next steps appeared to be votes in the House and Senate on the rival plans by mid-week.

Despite warnings to the contrary, U.S. financial markets have appeared to take the political maneuvering in stride ? so far. Wall Street posted losses Monday but with no indication of panic among investors.

Without signed legislation by day's end on Aug. 2, the Treasury will be unable to pay all its bills, possibly triggering an unprecedented default that officials warn could badly harm a national economy struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

Obama wants legislation that will raise the nation's debt limit by at least $2.4 trillion in one vote, enough to avoid a recurrence of the acrimonious current struggle until after the 2012 elections.

Republicans want a two-step process that would require a second vote in the midst of a campaign for control of the White House and both houses of Congress.

There were concessions from both sides embedded in the competing legislation, but they were largely obscured by the partisan rhetoric of the day.

A Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky urged Obama to shift his position rather than "veto the country into default."

And Reid jabbed at tea party-backed Republicans who make up a significant portion of the House GOP rank and file. The Nevada Democrat warned against allowing "these extremists" to dictate the country's course."

The measure Boehner and the GOP leadership drafted in the House called for spending cuts and an increase in the debt limit to tide the Treasury over until sometime next year. A second increase in borrowing authority would hinge on approval of additional spending cuts sometime during the election year.

Across the Capitol, Reid wrote legislation that drew the president's backing, praise from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi ? and criticism from Republicans.

By design or not, the two sides' harsh remarks obscured concessions that narrowed the differences among the nation's political leaders as they groped for a way to resolve the economic crisis.

With their revised plan, House Republicans backed off an earlier insistence on $6 trillion in spending cuts to raise the debt limit.

And Obama jettisoned his longstanding call for increased government revenues as part of any deficit reduction plan.

Pending the president's televised speech, the White House also declined repeatedly to say whether Obama would veto the revised House measure.

White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer called the proposal "not a serious attempt to avert default because it has no chance of passing the Senate."

Not all Republicans were happy with their leadership's decision to scale back legislation that had cleared the House last week, only to die in the Senate.

Among House conservatives who have provided the political muscle for the Republican drive to cut spending, the revised legislation was a disappointment. "I cannot support the plan," said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, one of the leading advocates of legislation that cleared the House last week and died in the Senate.

But two rank-and-file Republicans said their constituents were voicing concerns other than the rising federal debt.

Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., said his office is getting calls from constituents saying, "If I don't get my Social Security check, it's your fault."

Rep. Tom Reed, a New York freshman, said many of his constituents are telling him to stand firm in his drive to cut spending. "But I will admit there's some anxiety in the district" about Social Security and other programs, he added.

As Boehner readied his legislation, Senate Democratic leaders called a news conference to announce their own next steps.

The Democrats' measure would cut $2.7 trillion in federal spending and raise the debt limit by $2.4 trillion in one step ? enough borrowing authority to meet Obama's bottom-line demand.

The cuts include $1.2 trillion from across a range of hundreds of government programs and $1 trillion in savings assumed to derive from the end of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Boehner ridiculed the $1 trillion in war savings as gimmicky, but in fact, they were contained in the budget the House passed earlier in the year.

The legislation also assumes creation of a special joint congressional committee to recommend additional savings with a guaranteed vote by Congress by the end of 2011.

Yet in the maneuvering it appeared another of the president's long-held conditions appeared to be in danger of rejection.

Neither Boehner's measure nor the one Reid was drafting included additional revenue, according to officials in both parties.

In addition to a two-step approach to raising the debt limit, the House measure would require lawmakers in both houses to vote later this year on a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget.

An earlier bill, passed in the House last week but then scuttled in the Senate, would have required Congress to approve an amendment and send it to the states for ratification.

That same bill would have made $6 trillion in spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt limit.

Obama promised to veto that bill even before the House voted on it.

Each side offered accounts of secret maneuvering designed to put the other side in a poor light.

Democratic officials said Obama called Boehner on Saturday night, one day after the collapse of compromise talks, and offered to reduce his demand for new tax revenue by $400 billion.

In return, Obama said that he wanted Republicans to abandon their demand to cancel parts of the year-old health care law if future deficit cuts did not materialize.

This official said Boehner rejected the proposal on Sunday.

Republicans disputed that account ? and offered one of their own.

In their version of events, Reid agreed on Sunday night to a two-step approach to raising the debt limit that Obama has rejected.

Democrats denied it.

None of the officials involved would agree to be quoted by name.

Deliberations on Environment Jurisprudence ... - Business News Asia

President Appeal to Work Collectively to Protect Environment and Humanity

International seminar on ?Global environment and Disaster Management: Law and Society? started deliberations on biodiversity and natural resource management. The seminar which began yesterday discussed the science and economics of biodiversity, access and benefit sharing: rights of plant breeders and traditional communities, protection of biodiversity and ensuring rights of indigenous people: legal framework, bio-safety and genetically modified organisms and natural resource management and the green economy.

The Seminar raises critical issues for reflection on environmental concerns and disaster management providing a platform for academicians, policy makers, the judiciary, lawyers, civil society, law makers, students and other stakeholders to deliberate on topical issues like climate change, natural resource management, disaster management, legal responses to natural and man-made hazards, human rights, the role of the judiciary in strengthening law and policy on environment and disaster management. The focus of the seminar is to collectively seek solutions that are not only environment friendly but support all inclusive growth that sustains not just the environment but human life and livelihoods.

Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil, the President of India, at the inaugural session yesterday observed that this would be an opportunity for discussions on the linkages between the disciplines of law, disaster management and the sciences, as well as to identify legal and technical issues of contemporary significance with relation to the environment. She said, ?Managing the environment as well as mitigating and adapting to the many impacts of climate change, will be one of our most important challenges and knowledge must prepare us for taking suitable actions. Experience the world over has, time and again shown that destruction caused by disasters, can be minimized by a well functioning disaster management system and that lack of such systems can cause even greater disaster and that what is needed is efficient policies and institutional support right up to the stage of rehabilitation of affected persons and disaster warning and preparedness systems that are effective must be prepared. We should work collectively to protect environment and humanity. Similarly, relief and rehabilitation work should be quick and well co-ordinated and some man-made disasters can be averted by strict adherence to safety norms and regular maintenance schedules. It is imperative that agencies involved in this area, evolve fully functional partnerships, so that reaction to such events can be timely, efficient and effectual.?

The role of law in the post-disaster phase was expressed to be very important and the President exhorted the legal system to ensure that there is transparency and accountability of all activities, including compensation amounts to be given to the affected, legal assistance and dispute redressal mechanisms.

Chief Justice of India, Justice Sh S H Kapadia said, ?The traditional concept that development and ecology are oppose to each other is not acceptable today. Sustainable development is the answer to importance of human life. It will help to eradicate poverty and improve the quality of human life .But the most important essence is right to life. We are growing at the rate of 50,000 per day. The shrinking resources will not help any excellent schemes or projects and will destroy growth. The ultimate challenge for environment ethics is conservation of life on earth. The man-land ratio is adverse. The carrying capacity of the supporting economy has to be improved. The forest and environment is national asset and we have to transfer it to our next generation.? Justice Sh Kapadia suggested to the Ministry of Environment and Forests to simplify their notifications. . He appealed the Ministry to have a panel of experts and follow a common procedure. A change in the pattern of submitting project reports is required where opinion of project applicant for viability of project should not be accepted.

Mr. Goolam E. Vahanvati, Attorney General of India in his Introductory address reflected upon the destruction of forests and uncontrolled use of natural resources which led to disasters like tsunami and mentioned how water resources had been affected by phenomena like anoxia i.e. when water bodies loose oxygen. Global dimming and coral bleaching were also concerns in relation to biodegradation expressed by him.

Mr. Salman Khurshid, Hon?ble Minister of Law and Justice expressed that this seminar was a historic opportunity to provide for a safe and comfortable future for inter generational equity.
Smt. Jayanthi Natarajan, Minister of State for Environment and Forests stated that the earth and the planet are not something that we inherit from our ancestors but something we have borrowed from posterity. The speaker emphasized that the environmental issues require intervention not just by government or by Courts but by every single person and so we need a ?people?s movement? on environment to see that the environment is safe from disasters. The speaker further said that India is at the fore front of the drive for sustainability and was the first country to enshrine environment protection and conservation steps in our Constitution and that our country has shown a commitment to sustainable development and has introduced the National Action Plan for Climate change in 2008.

Mr. Justice Dipak Misra, Chief Justice, High Court of Delhi proposed the vote of thanks and said that the need of the hour calls for a clear perceptual shift to develop eco-friendly mindset, the spirit to repair damaged areas and to ingrain the idea that the progress of the human race is only possible, if we nurture nature with care and foster it with real concern.

Mr. Justice Swatanter Kumar, Judge, Supreme Court of India and Chairperson, Organizing Committee in his welcome address invited educationists, environmentalists, judges, lawyers and the delegates to focus and debate on the burning issue of global environment which had brought together the representatives from 15 countries around the globe to showcase a range of innovative suggestions on the resolution of environmental problems.

The participants were called upon to make optimum use of the invaluable exposure in building their tomorrow by protecting the global environment. He expressed hope that this seminar would provide participants a forum to map out a territory which would be equally constructive for the most experienced policy makers and the novice student alike.

?Disaster Risk Reduction?, was no longer optional but a strategic and technical tool for helping national and local governments to fulfil their responsibilities towards citizens and gave a clarion call to effectively mobilize the international community. He also said that environment ought to be treated as ?public trust?, protected by judicial pronouncements.

Mr. Justice S. H. Kapadia, Chief Justice of India, Mr. Justice Swatanter Kumar, Judge, Supreme Court of India and Chairperson, Organizing Committee, Mr. Salman Khurshid, Union Minister for Law and Justice, Smt.
