This is a beautiful site and a wonderful idea.


And a portion of each package or memorial purchased goes to a charity on their database.


So be sure to get your pet 's memorial on the site and if you have a charity / rescue, make sure it is listed on their database so you can receive some of the profits from the site.


Best,

The findings demonstrate the inhibitory network is central to controlling not only the amplitude, extent and duration of activation of recurrent excitatory cortical networks, but also the precise timing of action potentials, and, thus, network synchronization..."

Action Network is a <org>BBC</org> website for people who are taking action on issues that concern them.


I 'm getting in touch because I think it could be useful to people campaigning about hospital closures.


We 've got a page dedicated to issues around hospitals ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/actionnetwork/C55153 ) and a group called NHS SOS have already put up a campaign about ward closures in Cumbria.

I 'm hoping to build this up to be a hub for all the campaigners - a place where people can exchange ideas and advice.


It would be great if the person from CHANT who started this page would put up a short description of the campaign and a list to this group page on the Action Network site.


Action Network is also a good place to post details of events, or try to rally together a group if you want to take action in your area.


You can attach anything you write to pages for your local area, as well as to the 'issue' pages.


I 'm more than happy to help people with the site or answer any questions about Action Network - just drop me a message.


Otherwise, hope to see you there!

The new rocket design will differ slightly from it's predecessors, in the fact that the crew and cargo would launch separately from two different rockets each and join up in space later on.


Launching this way will hopefully avoid future disasters, giving more support towards NASA revisiting the stars.

Winston Peters is visiting a school.

<per>Winston Peters</per> is visiting a school.


In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a "tragedy".


One little boy stands up and offersthat, "if my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street when a car came along and killed him, that would be a tragedy".


"No," Winston says, "That would be an ACCIDENT."

"No," Win<per>ston sa</per>ys, "That would be an ACCIDENT."


A girl raises her hand.


"If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved... that would be a tragedy".


"I 'm afraid not, "explains Winston, "that is what we would call a GREAT LOSS."

"I 'm afraid not, "explains Win<per>ston, "</per>that is what we would call a GREAT LOSS."


The room is silent, none of the other children volunteer.


"What?" asks Winston, "is n't there any one here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

"What?" asks Win<per>ston, "</per>is n't there any one here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"


Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand.


In a timid voice, he says: "If an airplane carrying Winston Peters was blown up by a bomb, THAT would be a tragedy".

"Marvelous!

"Well," says the boy, "because it would n't be an accident, and it certainly would n't be a great loss!"

Dick could never thereafter get any real cooperation from the cabinet officers, who outranked him, and he could not convince them to go to battle stations in the summer of 2001 when George Tenet 's hair was "on fire" about the excited chatter the CIA was picking up from radical Islamist terrorists.

Of course, you could just go in by main force.
