John Esposito, Georgetown University Professor and doyen of American apologists for jihadism, has repeatedly identified Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi as one of the most influential contemporary Muslim thinkers. Qaradawi, "spiritual" leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and head of the European Fatwa Council, reaches an enormous audience during his regular appearances on Al- Jazeera television. During a January 9, 1998 interview, Qaradawi observed that Islamic law divided the "People of the Book"—Jews and Christians—into three categories: non-Muslims in the lands of war ("Dar al Harb"); non-Muslims in lands of temporary truce; and non-Muslims under the jurisdiction of Islamic law, i.e., the dhimmis. Qaradawi thus summarized concisely the jihad war theory formulated in the 8th and 9th centuries, which continues, through the present, to regulate the relationships between Muslims and non-Muslims.
During many subsequent pronouncements—especially those in the Arabic media—including formal sermons, or interviews, Qaradawi has elaborated both the targets and allowable "tactics" for those contemporary Muslims whom he encourages to wage jihad. Jews, and Americans or their allies, figure prominently in these statements. For example, at the July 2003 meeting (in Stockholm) of the European Council for Fatwa and Research (which he heads), Qaradawi emphasized the orthodox Islamic basis for martyrdom operations to be directed against all Israeli citizens, whom he further described as classic "harbis", licit targets in the Dar al Harb:
Those who oppose martyrdom operations and claim that they are suicide are making a great mistake. the one who carries out a martyrdom operation does not think of himself. He sacrifices himself for the sake of a higher goal, for which all sacrifices become meaningless. He sells himself to Allah in order to buy Paradise in exchange. Allah said: 'Allah has bought from the believers their souls and their properties for they shall inherit Paradise… the one who carries out a martyrdom operation has a clear goal, and that is to please Allah
It has been determined by Islamic law that the blood and property of people of Dar Al-Harb [the Domain of Disbelief where the battle for the domination of Islam should be waged] is not protected. Because they fight against and are hostile towards the Muslims, they annulled the protection of his blood and his property… in modern war, all of society, with all its classes and ethnic groups, is mobilized to participate in the war, to aid its continuation, and to provide it with the material and human fuel required for it to assure the victory of the state fighting its enemies. Every citizen in society must take upon himself a role in the effort to provide for the battle. The entire domestic front, including professionals, laborers, and industrialists, stands behind the fighting army, even if it does not bear arms. Therefore the experts say that the Zionist entity, in truth, is one army.
Qaradawi's raw Judenhass, melds modern racist Antisemitism, with traditional Islamic motifs—Koranic verses labeling Jews as malevolent enemies of Islam, and disobedient slayers of their own prophets who suffered justifiable abasement, including, for some, transformation into apes and swine; or the more profoundly hateful oral tradition, preserved in the hadith, which maintains that the perfidious Jews caused Muhammad's protracted, excruciating death from poisoning, and fomented sectarian strife in early Islam by promoting heresies that threatened the unity of the Muslim community (umma). Thus Qaradawi's admonitions for all out jihad against Israeli Jews, or his constant Jew baiting, come as no surprise. However he has also called for jihad martyrdom operations against American forces in Iraq, and more ominously, Qaradawi has made unabashed appeals for Muslims to wage a "jihad re-conquest" of Europe. His public fatwa on December 2, 2002 stated, "Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror and a victor after being expelled from it twice – once from the south, from Andalusia, and a second time, from the east, when it knocked several times on the doors of Athens". Qaradawi's fatwa ruled, in addition, that Muslims should re-conquer, "…former Islamic colonies to Andalus (Spain), southern Italy, Sicily, the Balkans and the Mediterranean islands."
Qaradawi's inflammatory February 3, 2006 sermon, which addressed the publication of 12 rather tame Danish cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad, must be viewed in the larger overall context of his pious jihadism, most notably Qaradawi's previous characterization of Muhammad as the prototype jihadist, "Allah has also made the prophet Muhammad into an epitome for religious warriors [Mujahideen] since he ordered Muhammed to fight for religion". The sermon from February 3, 2006 opens with seething, self-righteous anger, segues into Qaradawi's now standard, pro-forma Judenhass, including Holocaust denial, and closes, most disturbingly, with thinly veiled threats of terrorism to "…Westerners, the Americans, and Europeans". And there is even a morose irony to Qaradawi's otherwise humorous (self-diagnostic?) description of the Muslim masses to whom he is appealing as "jackasses". It was the enormous Christian and smaller Jewish populations, vanquished by jihad, and subjected to the brutal system of dhimmitude for over a millennium, who were forced to ride the ignoble jackass as one of many stigmata of their humiliation. The writings of the much lionized Sufi theologian and jurist al-Ghazali (d. 1111), and almost 600 years later, those of the important Persian Shi'ite jurist Al-Majlisi (d. 1699), provide typical Islamic (Shari'a) legal rulings which institutionalized this debasing practice:
The dhimmi may not ride an elegant horse or mule; he may ride a donkey only if the saddle[-work] is of wood. [Ghazali]
…that they should not ride upon Arabian steeds, or that they should not ride any horses at all, only mules or asses, and that they should not ride upon saddles, only on pack saddles, with [both] legs on one side [Majlisi]
The cartoonish rage being fomented by Qaradawi among erstwhile "jackass jihadists" is hardly a laughing matter. Westerners who ignore this deliberately incited ferment risk having Shari'a reimposed—making worse than jackasses those complacent modern non-Muslims whose victimized ancestors were forced, for generations, to travel side-saddle on lowly asses.

The effects of electromagnetic fields on peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitroBratisl Lek Listy. 2009;110(9):526-9

900, 1784 MHz
48,3 V/m => 6,188 W/m2;
OBJECTIVE: A discussion about the adverse effects of electromagnetic waves on the biological life has been ongoing since the discovery of electricity in the 19th century.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the changes in the cell viability, rates of apoptosis, proliferation indices and the cell surface antigenic structures resulting from 2-, 6- and 24-hour exposure of mononuclear cells isolated from the peripheral blood to 450, 900 and 1784 MHz electromagnetic waves. RESULTS: Data obtained showed that electromagnetic waves didn't have any effect on the cell viability, rates of apoptosis and proliferation index. While electromagnetic waves didn't affect the HLADR and CD11b expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells, they decreased the CD11a expression and increased the CD49d expression.
CONCLUSION: These data suggest that electromagnetic signals could affect the functional capacity of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells by changing their adhesion ability. Maybe these alterations are the sign of the immune system modulation. More comprehensive studies are needed, involving higher number and more lines of cells.

Twenty-one mini lessons in literature and art history from Woody Allen's new film
Sony Picture Classics
Woody Allen's latest movie, Midnight in Paris, which opens in wide release Friday, is centered on Gil (Owen Wilson), a struggling writer, and his dream-like journey back to 1920s Paris. There, he meets Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and more, in scenes filled with cultural and literary allusions. Most are middle-brow, some are high-brow, a few are practically inscrutable. To help get you in on the jokes, here's a spoiler-heavy compendium of some of the movie's best references:

Pros: None
Cons: Terrible shaving, lots of cuts, no grip, use lots of them
Do you enjoy getting nicked and cut while shaving? If you have masochistic tendencies, you'll be quite pleased to use the Bic single blade razors. About a year ago I purchased a case of these, and figured the savings would be worth it, considering that I was a bit tight on bills at the time. It was a mistake, as I learned there are better and less painful ways of dropping $30. Shaving is a necessity, and while it can be a bit expensive with increased prices on razors, it makes sense to pay a bit more to insure a quality experience.
Bic makes some excellent shaving products, but this one is disgraceful in that it would be better to use a pair of yard clippers to trim a beard or moustache. It does not matter if you shave dry or wet with these, as all these do is leave you with bloody stumps and stubble all over. While it is obvious that a single blade will not perform as well as a dual or triple blade razor, you have to use five of these each time for a somewhat close shave. It adds up in price compared to the more expensive selections, which is why these razors are a poor choice.
There is no grip whatsoever on these, and they can slip out of a hand easily. I had one actually break while shaving, and it is so easy to get cut with these. The blade is not sharp, but due to having to go over an area three or four times, you can expect profuse bleeding from shaving with these. Due to their cheap cost they do not pivot or allow any movement, and corners are especially challenging. If you want to shave your head, do not use these at any costs, or you will look like Frankenstein with puncture wounds all over your scalp.
Do not purchase these razors at any cost, and avoid them if they were given away for free. There are simply better performing razors, that may have a higher upfront cost, but they will deliver without having to use four or five each time. However, if you enjoy pain these are an optimal choice, and they will deliver lots of cuts without giving you a clean shave.

How many people own (checking my VICE dir) PET, VIC-20, Plus/4, CBM2, C128, C64, C64DTV, C64SC? (not even sure what the last one is, without checking)
You can't really download VICE from sf without downloading copyrighted firmwares of the above ...and even if you do own all of them, I don't think that makes distribution legally OK.
That's even before getting into possibly slightly different revisions - maybe my C64C doesn't have quite the same ROM?

Barack Obama continued the presidential tradition of speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning, marking the president's fifth appearance at the annual event and his first since declaring his support for same-sex marriage in May 2012.
Held at the Washington Hilton, the Fellowship Foundation, commonly known as "The Family," hosted the event. The organization is well known for its conservative evangelical views and powerful connections to Republican leaders. It has also been linked to anti-gay legislation in Uganda that would punish homosexual behavior with death.
At the 61st breakfast since the event was first held in 1953, Obama made no mention of his support of marriage equality in his 19-minute speech, according to a press pool report.
"Love your neighbor as yourself," Obama told the audience of more than 3,000, which included Vice President Joe Biden and members of Congress. "See in everyone, even in those with whom you disagree most vehemently, the face of God. For we are all His children."
Although the breakfast is not sponsored by the White House, Obama's participation in the event has been criticized in the past, and was again this year. In a strongly worded statement released by the liberal LGBT-rights group, GetEqual, Managing Director Heather Cronk called on Obama to demonstrate his faith "without simultaneously putting the lives of LGBT people in jeopardy."
"For another year, President Obama has chosen to set aside his stated values of inclusion in order to attend the National Prayer Breakfast — an event rooted in hatred of LGBT people and covered up by pastries and coffee," Cronk said.
White House press secretary Jay Carney defended Obama's participation, stating that the president is not responsible for the views of everyone who attends the breakfast.
"I confess that I haven't focused on this," Carney said of the Fellowship Foundation's anti-gay views during a gaggle with reporters after the breakfast. "The president, as his predecessors have, participates in this. He's not responsible for the views of every organization or person who participates. His views on these issues, as you just noted in your question, are quite clear."
According to Carney, Obama continues to attend the annual breakfast to speak "about the importance that faith plays in his life, that faith plays in the lives of so many millions of Americans."

Duo Åstrand/Salo
Duo Åstrand/Salo consists of Christina Åstrand (violin) and Per Salo (piano), who in many years of playing together have built up an extensive repertoire from Bach to brand new music. Danish music enjoys a privileged place in the duo's repertoire. One of the shared goals of the two musicians is to spread knowledge of Danish music both within and outside Denmark, and their concert programmes almost always include Danish works, as evidenced also by their CD production. In 2007 the duo's CD of Carl Nielsen's violin sonatas won two prizes at the Danish Music Awards, and in 2009 they released a critically acclaimed CD with the three violin sonatas of the Danish Romantic composer Niels W. Gade. In 2012 the duo released violin sonatas by Ravel, Bloch and Janacek on both CD and DVD for Orchid Classics, recorded in the beautiful DR concert hall in Copenhagen.
Christina Åstrand and Per Salo are both members of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, respectively as concertmaster and pianist/organist. Åstrand is one of the most notable violinists in Scandinavia today. As a soloist she regularly appears with the leading symphony orchestras in Scandinavia. Many Danish composers have written works for her or dedicated them to her, and she is one of the few violinists in the world who has Györgi Ligeti's violin concerto in her repertoire. In 2014 Christina Åstrand makes her American debut in N.W. Gade's violin concerto with the Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra. Christina Åstrand plays on a Stradivarius from 1705.
Per Salo studied piano and organ in Denmark, Italy and the USA. He is an active soloist and chamber musician and has toured with a large repertoire in among other regions Scandinavia, Europe, Korea and the USA. Many Danish composers have written music for him, including Per Nørgård, who wrote and dedicated his piano concerto Concerto in due Tempi to him.
As soloists Åstrand and Salo have each recorded violin and piano concertos by Per Nørgård on CD for Chandos as well as Emil Hartmann's violin and piano concertos for Dacapo. Åstrand is even the soloist on a Dacapo CD in three Danish Romantic violin concertos by Niels W. Gade, P.E. Lange-Müller and Rued Langgaard, while Salo appears as the piano soloist on the Danish National Symphony Orchestra's CD recording of Rued Langgaard's Third Symphony conducted by Thomas Dausgaard.

Two years later the Paras are back in the pounding heat of the Afghanistan front lines. The conflict has changed. The enemy has been forced to adopt new weaponry and tactics. But how much progress are we really making in the war against the insurgents? And is there an end in sight?
In this searing account of 3 Para's return, bestselling author Patrick Bishop combines gripping, first-person accounts of front-line action with an unflinching look at the hard realities of our involvement in Afghanistan. Writing from a position of exclusive access alongside the Paras, he reveals the 'ground truth' of the mission our soldiers have been given. It's a sombre picture. But shining out from it are stories of courage, comradeship and humour, as well as a gripping account of an epic humanitarian operation through Taliban-infested country to deliver a vitally needed turbine to the Kajaki Dam.
Frank, action-packed and absorbing, 'Ground Truth' is a timely and important book that will set the agenda for discussion of the Afghan conflict for years to come.

SEX/NUDITY 4 - A man asks for an erotic massage at a massage spa and tells the woman checking him in that he wants it to "end happy." A man looks at a photograph of a woman and says, "You were so naughty." A man makes suggestive remarks to a woman that walks in front of him and he admires her clothed buttocks. A man has numerous suggestive phone conversations with women.
► A nude man lies on a massage table (he is covered from the waist to the thighs with a towel) and his bare chest and abdomen are visible; a woman massages his chest and he tells her to move lower (she does not). A man receiving a therapeutic massage flinches a few times and we see a heavily shadowed crotch under the towel wrapped around his waist (no genitals are visible).
► A woman removes her shirt in order to change and we see her wearing a bra (while standing in a parking lot where other people are gathered). A woman wears a short, low-cut top that reveals cleavage and her bare abdomen as well as a short skirt that shows her fish net stockings. Women wear low-cut tops in several scenes. Two women wear low-cut dresses that reveal cleavage.
► A woman kisses a man (her boyfriend, who is also her boss) and he makes a suggestive remark about breaking curfew for sex later. A man and a woman kiss a few times.
► A woman asks a man to stay the night with her, he does, and we see her wearing a camisole and PJ pants the next morning (it is not clear if they had sex).
VIOLENCE/GORE 10 - We see the following twice with varying degrees of detail: A bridge roadway sways and cracks when heavy winds blow, the suspension cables snap, a hole opens in the road, a car falls through it and into the water below, and a woman falls off the bridge and is impaled on a ship's mast (we see blood and intestines pushed out through the hole); a bus falls off the bridge with a man left inside, the man is pinned against the windshield when the bus crashes into the water (we do not see what happens to the man but it is implied that he died); a woman walks along an exposed girder to safety and another one tries but slips off, falls into the water and is crushed by a car that falls on top of her; a man is struck by a swinging cable and is obliterated (we see bloody fragments splatter), hot tar spills on a man and his flesh is burned off (we see bloody tissue beneath the tar and the flesh of his fingers remain on the bridge as he slips off and falls into the water below); the remainder of the bridge collapses taking many people and vehicles with it and we hear screaming as they crash into the water; two men hang from a bridge railing, one is impaled with metal rods (we see bloody holes throughout his body and face) and he falls into water below, hitting a cement pylon on the way (blood splatters on the cement), and the other man is cut in half by metal sheeting (we see blood, tissue and organs pour from the wound as his body separates into two pieces).
► A screw falls onto a balance beam where gymnasts practice, one steps on it (we hear a crunch), she falls off the beam, crashes into a bin of powder, the powder is blown into a fan and sprays on another gymnast swinging on uneven bars, she loses her grip, flips off and crashes to the floor, breaking herself in half at the waist (we see blood, torn flesh and exposed bones).
► A woman's head is immobilized and a clamp is placed in her eye to keep her eyelid open for laser surgery; the laser overheats, burns into the woman's eye (we see her eye turning black and the flesh around the eye reddened and charred), she struggles to free herself, holds her hand over her face, her hand is burned by the laser, she gets free, steps on something on the floor, stumbles, falls out of a plate glass window, crashes onto the hood of a car below, one of her eyes pops out and rolls on the street and we see it run over by a car (we hear a squish and see blood spurt).
► A man with numerous acupuncture needles in his flesh rolls off a massage table and lands on the floor when the room fills with smoke from a burning towel (we see the needles bent and a lot of blood on his face and body); he pulls a needle out and blood pours from the hole, a candle falls off a shelf and sets a puddle of alcohol on fire, the man falls to the floor, a heavy statue falls on his head crushing it (blood splatters), we hear a crunch and we see an open, bloody neck wound where his head had been.
► The engine on the wing of a plane catches fire, a hole opens in the side of the plane, a few passengers are pulled out through the hole, a man holds onto a woman but loses his grip and she crashes into a wing cutting her in half (we see blood splatter), the entire plane becomes engulfed in flames and we see a man slowly charring and burning away (we see his flesh burn and his skull is exposed).
► A man falls off a catwalk and a huge hook catches him in under the chin as he falls (we see him with the hook poking out through the top of his head and blood pours from his neck and head); we later see the hook covered with blood and matter.
► A man is crushed when a piece of a plane engine crashes through the roof of a bar and lands on him (we see blood spray and bloody body parts are thrown).
► A huge wrench is flung across a factory floor striking a man in the head (we hear a splatter, and we see the man with the wrench embedded in his skull across his eyes and blood oozing from the wound).
► A man shoots another man in the back three times, and he falls to his knees and collapses dead on the floor. A man is impaled with a large rotisserie skewer (we see blood on the skewer and he collapses dead). A gun discharges and nearly strikes a man and a woman.
► Two men fight in a kitchen, one man hits the other man in the head knocking him unconscious, he wakes up and jumps on the man's back, they struggle, one man pushes the head of the other man toward boiling oil, they strike each other with frying pans, and one man falls on the floor and the other kicks him repeatedly.
► A man with a gun threatens a woman. A man stands behind a woman on a curb and contemplates pushing her into the path of an oncoming truck.
► The end credits are accompanied by scenes from the previous "Final Destination" films and show numerous people dying in horrible ways with blood splattering in every occurrence. The opening credits are accompanied by numerous items exploding, burning and shattering, glass breaks, an airplane is shown burning, a skinless body is shown (the bloody tissue is evident), and splatters of blood are seen along with menacing music.
► A man cuts his finger on the back of a bus seat. A man pricks his finger on something in a desk drawer. A man pricks his finger on something on an airplane seat. A man receives acupuncture treatment and we see needles being inserted (small dots of blood appear with every insertion and the man winces); we see the man with many needles in his body and face. We see a puddle of blood on a floor where police are investigating a death.
► The film contains numerous scenes that cause the viewer to anticipate danger or an accident: A man walks through a restaurant kitchen and we see flames flair up, a meat grinder whirrs, a man nearly jabs him with a large skewer, and a meat tenderizer spins when the man tries to release a piece of meat from it (he is not harmed); a woman nearly steps on an exposed screw on a balance beam numerous times; and a woman nearly steps in a puddle of water that surrounds an electrical cable with a split in it.
► Two women exchange barbs with one remarking about the other wanting to lose her "baby fat" and the other accusing the first of having her job only because her father owns the company. A man says, "Death doesn't like to be cheated." A man tells another man, " Death is after you." A man tells another man that he is going to do something "even if it kills me." A man talks about needing to "kill or be killed." A man talks about being the "next to go." A man talks about whether or not he could kill someone to save himself.
► A man receives a therapeutic massage and the masseuse applies pressure that causes bones to pop and crunch; the man yells in pain.
► People gather at a cemetery for a memorial service for 17 people that died in an accident. A woman breaks up with a man and he seems upset.
► A man throws a shot glass into a window and both shatter. A man cuts the head off a fish using a cleaver.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

Hello sweeties,
I had such an amazing day at the seaside, and tomorrow I have a long day shooting and doing some amazing stuff - you can follow my snapchat for more - ruxandraioana17 -
Other than that, I couldn't let the day pass without posting something fashionable - hell yeah! - I'm wearing this super cool shirt from SheIn that I've mixed up with a pair of plein dark blue jeans and ankle sandals. As the shirt features a "some -kind-of baroque" pattern, I thought it would be intresting to add my cute lock detail bag from TwinkleDeals in the mix. As an accessory, I'm only wearing my Stacey Jewelry gemstone and bar necklace.
What I wore:
- Guess jeans
- Mango sandals ( can find ankle sandals in a similar style here)
So, really hope you like the look, guys!
Will be back tomorrow with more :)

hello Rob, hive does have both jdbc and hiverserver as well so you can connect them remotely. the issue here would be more of 1) how will you keep the data in sync between hive and your datastore 2) There are plenty of queries which work on properietary databases but will not work on hive as it is 3) how are you planning to decide which query goes to which datastore? Others will have far more details questions as well but never heard anyone doing a dual live setup where queries can run anywhere on traditional data stores as well as hive on the fly On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 11:17 PM, ur lops <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Hi, > I have very generic question but I am looking to get some guidance > from the community.

U.S. Online Holiday Spending Nears $31 Bln, ComScore Says
U.S. online spending for the holiday season has risen 15 percent to $30.9 billion from the year- earlier period, ComScore Inc. (SCOR) said.
Four days during the week ended Dec. 16 topped $1 billion, the Internet-traffic researcher said in a statement. Sales for last week were $6.32 billion, also up 15 percent.
Spending is expected to slow as Christmas Day nears, ComScore said. This means Cyber Monday, Nov. 28, is likely to be the single top online spending day with $1.25 billion, followed by $1.13 billion in purchases on Dec. 12 and $1.07 billion on Dec. 16, or Free Shipping Day.
The data measured the 46-day period from Nov. 1 to Dec. 16.
ComScore, based in Reston, Virginia, compiles Internet traffic data from about 2 million consumers in 170 countries, according to its own website.

The two DVD discs in this package focus on various aspects of human evolution. Three very good speakers present those aspects quite effectively. They are engaging, and their rich content presents multiple lines of compelling evidence all pointing to the reality of human evolution. Many students, with little understanding of evolution or science, may have some difficulties, because so many examples are given in fairly rapid succession. For that reason, if teachers use these materials, they should plan to either pace their presentation, with frequent stops for questions, clarifications and replays of critical segments, or only show selected parts in a context suitable for their students that helps them understand those parts. [CLICK on title at top of this page to view and/or order the package from HHMI].
The eight selected Video Clips (on disk one) are convenient for doing this with some of the material. In addition, there are three "Click and Learn" modules on the second disk. Each one has a number (14-24) of slides and short video clips arranged in a meaningful sequence. And each one has a short list of Key Concepts and Teaching Notes. These modules could serve as tutorials for individual study, or used interactively with the entire class. The third module "Using Science Process to Study Human Evolution" is an excellent example. It shows vividly how paleoanthropology involves the asking of questions and subsequent testing of the possible answers, nice examples of "historical" science, using one of the processes of science seldom pointed out in science classes, much less experienced there. Students will also notice that the usual "steps of the scientific method" are properly replaced with a simpler flow, and adapted to the historical science questions: Be curious, Ask questions, Collect & analyze data, Make logical conclusions (the last two being part of the "testing" process). Later, students are shown how logical conclusions often lead to asking more questions, and those new questions can be further tested, or send one to read the scientific literature and/or to consult experts.
Lecture 2 Chapters: Genetics of Human Origins and Adaptation (1 hr)
Lecture 3 Chapters: Stone Tools and Evolution of Human Behavior (1 hr)
Lecture 4 Chapters: Hominid Paleobiology (1h 30')
Many of the ENSI lessons provide experiences touching on all of these areas. Note especially the lessons under Human Evolution Patterns and Geological Patterns sections. Introducing your evolution unit with the ENSI Skulls Lab (Hominid Cranial Comparison) and the Chronology Lab make for an exciting and engaging intro to evolution in general. And the "Click and Learn" Module #3 (on disk 2 of this HHMI set): Using Science Process to Study Human Evolution would provide either an interesting preliminary experience or follow-up to the Skulls lab. Note: the Skulls Lab works best if you can use full scale resin copies of the representative skulls (as described there), but until your budget can afford them, you can use the full scale 4-view photos of those skulls (available in that lesson on the ENSI site).
I know you will find this HHMI set of disks very useful, and will ease you into the most engaging and important parts of evolution, those dealing with our own evolution. I recommend them very highly, a real bargain at any price, and the set is free from HHMI.

MAN1A1 encodes a class I mammalian Golgi 1,2-mannosidase which is a type II transmembrane protein. Additionally we are shipping Mannosidase, Alpha, Class 1A, Member 1 Kits (17) and Mannosidase, Alpha, Class 1A, Member 1 Proteins (8) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 9 out of 11 products:
In situ proximity ligation assays of Golgi localization of alpha-mannosidase IA at giantin (show GOLGB1 Antibodies) versus GM130 (show GOLGA2 Antibodies)-GRASP65 (show GORASP1 Antibodies) site, and absence or presence of N-glycans terminated with alpha3-mannose on trans-Golgi glycosyltransferases may be useful for distinguishing indolent from aggressive prostate cancer cells
We observed significant lower values of GAL (show GAL Antibodies), FUC and tendency to decrease of alpha-mannosidase and GLU (show DCTN1 Antibodies) concentration in nasal polyps
overexpression of Golgi alpha1,2-mannosidase IA, IB, and IC also accelerates ERAD of terminally misfolded human alpha1-antitrypsin variant null (Hong Kong) (NHK), and mannose trimming from the N-glycans on NHK in 293 cells
following HIV infection, there is an increased rate of catabolism of glycoconjugates in saliva (show RAG1AP1 Antibodies) resulting from changes in the proportions of the activity of isoenzymes A and B of N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase (show HEXA Antibodies), beta-galactosidase (show GLB1 Antibodies) and alpha-fucosidase
ERManI, by functioning as a downstream effector target of EDEM1 (show EDEM1 Antibodies), represents a checkpoint activation paradigm by which the mammalian unfolded protein response coordinates the boosting of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation.
Downregulation of TOAG-1 and alpha-1,2-mannosidase expression occurred in graft infiltrating cells and expression of both genes was also downregulated after T-cell activation in vitro
This gene encodes a class I mammalian Golgi 1,2-mannosidase which is a type II transmembrane protein. This protein catalyzes the hydrolysis of three terminal mannose residues from peptide-bound Man(9)-GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharides and belongs to family 47 of glycosyl hydrolases.

Good morning
Hey, there's nothing like six hours of sleep in a week in which we only got a decent night's sleep once. But we're not complaining (much): This week has been an incredible journey and an amazing experience for both of us. Today is a light day, with no actual sessions per se, so we're heading in for a panel on creating Longhorn user experiences and some time in the hands-on lab building Longhorn applications. After that, we might actually get out and try to see some of LA: This is Keith's first time here and he's spent the whole time in a convention center.
A few reflections on the week
OK, we're not quite done here yet, but it's hard not to start thinking back on the show already and think about how things went. Overall, we're pretty happy about things--we kept posting updates, photo galleries, and videos during the week (though the Internet and local connectivity conspired to make it difficult at times), all while Paul kept writing normal WinInfo updates; one of the things we were concerned about was that people not interested in the PDC (shock, horror) would feel like we were ignoring the real world during the show. News still happens, of course. And we would have brought less stuff. Paul brought a total of four PCs, but only two were needed; we never pulled out the iBook or Tablet PC, not once (and for the record, we saw maybe two Apple laptops the entire time we were here, so anyone getting their hopes up for that can officially slink back to
Finally, a slowdown...
Today was the first day the LA Convention Center hasn't been absolutely packed--though there are certainly lots of people still here, and one of the panels was overflowing by at least 100 people. Still, it was nice to navigate through the center without constantly bumping into people. Off to the hands-on lab...
Hands-on labs
The hands-on labs at PDC 2003 are awesome. We wish we had spent more time in there this week, but then we didn't exactly have a lot of free time. We both went through the first Longhorn Avalon application lab, using XAML, which looks excellent. Other labs included Longhorn with WinForms, Web services, SharePoint, .NET Framework 64-bit, AMD-64, and a bunch more. We took a few photos in the labs to give you an idea how large it was (they're on the SuperSite). Really impressive.
Winding down
Even the PDC 2003 press room is finally starting to calm down, and we're pretty sure we're some of the only non-international press left here (must have something to do with the flight schedules). For several days this week, the press room was clearly over capacity, with various Pournelles entertaining others by increasingly raising their voices to be heard over each other. But most of them are gone now, thank goodness, as people rush to make their flights.
Closing the press room
It looks like we're going to close yet another press room. Microsoft's PR people are packing up, the other media folks are all gone, and we're sitting here, alone, amid a mass of destruction (those reporter guys are real pigs). PDC 2003 is officially over.

JumpStart Monday: Motivational Quotes for Overcoming Your Fear of Public Speaking!
"We can learn to soar only in direct proportion to our determination to rise above the doubt and transcend the limitations." – David McNally.
Many times we put limitations for success upon ourselves. This limits our ability to achieve success in many areas of our life.
One of the biggest limitations we put on ourselves is in public speaking. We think, even before we speak, that we are not good public speakers. The secrets in the following article will help you eliminate your fears and remove the limitations so that you can be successful and soar when making presentations:
How to Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking in Seven Powerful Steps
Have you ever avoided a career or business opportunity because it required you to speak publicly? Did you ever have a great idea you wanted to share in a group setting but didn't because of your fear of speaking in front of a group of people?
You are not alone in the fear of public speaking. In my travels, I have seen where the fear of public speaking have kept otherwise very successful people in all walks of life from achieving their full potential. When you let this fear dominate your life, you lose out on promotions, business opportunities, community activities, and most of all self-confidence.
The following are seven powerful secrets to empowering you to overcome your fear of public speaking and achieving a new level of success in your career, your business, and your life:
- Ask Yourself the Important Question – Ask yourself, "Where does my fear come from and is it real?" Was there a public speaking opportunity in the past that you think didn't go well or that you felt was poorly prepared? Maybe you had to stand up in front of your classmates in high school or college and someone made what you perceived as a negative comment concerning your presentation. Maybe you gave a good speech but you started to over analyze every detail of the speech.
- Face Your Fear of Public Speaking – The fastest way to overcome any fear, much less the fear of public speaking, is to face your fear and attack it. Look for and embrace opportunities to make presentations. Start with non-threatening opportunities such as your children's school meeting or a non-work related situation and work your way up to more important, high pressure situations such as work meetings.

I'm about to go all Southern on y'all today. While I'm hovering dangerously close to the Mason Dixon at our current duty station, I have solid Southern roots-growing up between the Charleston, SC area and Southeastern Virginia. In my experience everyone in my family has their own personal recipes for a few different things-the perfect sweet tea, pasta salad, and of course, potato salad.
In my early years of freedom (that would be after high school, when I was learning to feed myself without my Mom and Grandma's fantastic cooking) I did a whole lot of experimenting with recipes until I finally came up with my own version of our family classics. Today I'm sharing my favorite version of Southern Potato salad-it's a huge hit with my family and tastes delicious warm or chilled! (Just to note I freakishly hate pickles so this is a relish-free version!)
- 4 medium red potatoes, washed and cubed
- 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced
- ½ cup Dukes Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons regular mustard
- tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
- Boil potatoes for 15 minutes or until soft.
- Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add diced eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and Old Bay and mix with a potato masher until well blended.
- Serve immediately or chilled.
Please, please, please leave me a comment if you try this recipe-I'm so interested to know if this hits everyone else's taste buds as perfectly as mine!

New hotel to be built at Biltmore in Asheville
ASHEVILLE, NC (AP) — Biltmore is building a second hotel at Biltmore Estate that's expected to create about 230 jobs.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported construction is expected to begin by mid-October.
The Village Hotel will have 209 guestrooms and is expected to open in November 2015.
The new hotel will be next to the Winery in Antler Hill Village.
The new hotel will include a casual restaurant and bar offering a tasting menu, Biltmore wines, craft beers and signature cocktails. Guests will also have access to other dining options in the village – Bistro, Cedric's Tavern and the Creamery.
The hotel will have an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness center.
The four-star Inn on Biltmore Estate opened in 2001 with 201 rooms and nine suites.

U.S. troops may stay in Afghanistan until 2024
Posted Apr 23, 2012 by
Anne Sewell
The plan was for the U.S. to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by 2014. However, this withdrawal may not be as full as planned.
US troops in Kandahar, Afghanistan
A National Security adviser has said that the U.S. will help defend the country militarily for approximately a decade after the Afghans take control of their own security.
Rangin Dadfar Spanta
, Mr Karzai's top security adviser, has said that a new strategic pact has been agreed between the U.S. and Afghanistan. Part of this pact implies that the U.S. will not use the country to launch attacks on other countries in the region, including drone strikes.
However he did stress that the U.S. will only aid Afghanistan if approved by Kabul.
said that Washington may use "diplomatic means, political means, economic means and even military means."
The agreement included financial support to the Afghan security forces after 2014 and the U.S. will pay up to US$4 billion annually, if this funding is approved by Congress.
According to
, U.S. Embassy spokesman Gavin Sundwall said: "Our goal is an enduring partnership with Afghanistan that strengthens Afghan sovereignty, stability and prosperity and that contributes to our shared goal of defeating Al-Qaeda and its extremist affiliates. We believe this agreement supports that goal."
However, it is still unclear as to whether Afghanistan would approve such U.S. military assistance. In the wake of a number of incidents involving U.S. troops deployed in Afghanistan, the two countries are facing a serious setback in their relations.
Digital Journal
reported on the massacre in Kandahar where 17 Afghan villagers were killed in a nighttime killing spree. At that time, U.S. President Barack Obama pledged to get his troops out of Afghanistan in a "responsible way," in order to make sure there will be no need to get back in.
Other incidents included the accidental burning of the
, photos that were released to the media of U.S. troops
urinating on dead bodies
and more recently, photos of soldiers posing with
dead body parts
which were released to the L.A. Times.
All these incidents add to the tension between the two countries.
It has been promised for a while that the U.S. will withdraw its troops by 2014 and hand over control to the Afghans. In February of this year, the U.S. Department of Defense even stated that they were planning a complete withdrawal of the troops by the end of 2013.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had said that the remaining troops were planned to be transited from a "combat role to a training, advise-and-assist role."
However it now seems likely that - as happened in Iraq - the U.S. will be staying longer than initially planned and anticipated.

Birth order research
- To start with...
- From a more scientific point of view...
- Where to look for more...
- Something to read...
- Own research
- Download of research paper
To start with...
I think a good approach to birth order is to consider how sibling relationships are depicted in myths and fairytales or in the Bible (especially in the Old Testament). There are many stereotypes concerning the different positions in a family (e.g. last-born as "nestling"). Recall your own experiences. Perhaps you come upon an autobiographic account of a famous first, last, middle or only child.
From a more scientific point of view...
I would recommend to check first:
- Ernst, C. & Angst, J. (1983). Birth order. Its influence on personality.Berlin: Springer.
This is a critical literature review, not up to date but it has been the most comprehensive so far. Even more important is that the most common methodical pitfalls are listed. Birth order research is by no means a simple endeavor, although it seems to be at first sight.
A more recent meta-analytic approach is:
- Sulloway, F. J. (1995). Birth order and evolutionary psychology: a meta-analytic overview. Psychological Inquiry, 6(1), 75-80.
A recent book on birth order and creativity:
Sulloway, Frank J. (1997). Born to rebel: Birth order, family dynamics, and creative lives. New York, NY: Pantheon.
Easier to read though lacking in methodical strictness is:
- Forer, Lucille K. & Still, Henry (1976). The birth order factor: how your personality is influenced by your place in the family. New York, NY: Pocket Books. [out of print]
And as a classic:
- Adler, A. (1931). What life should mean to you. Boston: Little & Brown.
Some recent developments seem to be:
Taking into account expectations of parents with respect to birth order
effects, e.g.
Baskett, L. M. (1985). Sibling status effects: Adult expectations. Developmental Psychology, 21, 441-445.
Examining the development of sibling relationships across the life span,
Bedford, V. H. (1983). Sibling research in historical perspective: The discovery of a forgotten relationship. American Behavioral Scientist, 33, 6-18.
Where to look for more...
- Birth order research may be on topic in the psychology newsgroups (sci.psychology.*) and in a newsgroup dealing with Adlerian psychology (alt.psychology.adlerian).
- Henry T. Stein of the Alfred Adler Institute of San Francisco gives an Adlerian overview of birth order characteristics
- Another way to look at birth order is presented by Clifford E. Isaacson of the Upper Des Moines Counseling Center of Algona, Iowa
- Demographic data on birth order is available from the US Census Bureau.
- An example for a study dealing with birth order and educational attainment can be found as a NSFH Working Paper at the Center for Demography and Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Abstract and Paper in PDF format
- A satire titled Birth Order - A Parent's Perspective
- A quarterly bibliography called Population Index is published by Princeton University's Office of Population Research. It covers all fields of interest to demographers
- To find more links you can take a look at the birth order category of the Open Directory Project. or search Google for birth order:

I've done unpublished research on the following topics:
Birth order and eminence
Birth order and personalitySorry, but there are no English versions yet :-). A short description follows:
The first study tries to put to a test the claim that first-borns tend to be overrepresented among eminent individuals. I used a sample of famous American women, checking for profession and sibship size. The only profession with a significant proportion of eminent first-borns is "physician". In trying to explain this result one could state that the hypothesis is meant to be valid only for male eminent individuals or that the studies cited in the literature didn't control possible biases.
The second study deals with the relationship between birth order and personality. The results are at least ambiguous because the method for measuring the personality traits seems to lack in validity.

When I'm stopped and them push the gas peddle the car makes a noise, (like a car from behind me bumped into me), then I push on the gas again and it runs fine. It has done this 7 or 8 over the last 6 to 8 weeks. Also when I turn the steering wheel, when the is cold it makes a rubbing noise until it warms up after 2 or 3 miles, it has done this daily for the last 4 or 5 months. Problem. The GOODYEAR store, said it may be a transmission problem.

I wrote yesterday about how much I enjoyed the Cactus Pear Music Festival the past two weeks. There is one additional aspect to the festival that deserves praise and that is their Young Artist Program (YAP). This year the young artists were:
Rachel Roberts, violin
Nathan Dowling, viola
McKinley Glasser, cello
Mattie Kotzur, flute
Ellen Pavliska, piano
They range in age from 15 to 18 and all live in this area. Throughout the festival they gave concerts and were coached by the Festival's artists and education director Craig Sorgi. YAP was featured Saturday night in a new composition by Harlan Hodges. Harlan was the winner of the festival's Young Composer Award Xtreme Competition. Harlan is a 24-year old pianist and composer currently studying at Texas Tech University. What earns this competition the "xtreme" label is the time frame. The young composers had just one month to write their pieces.
I enjoyed Harlan's piece, and it was very well played by the YAP musicians. Often when you hear a new piece by a young composer, the form is weak or hard to follow. This was not the case in Harlan's Visions of a Mockingbird. The work had its playful moments when it imitated birds. But, it also had nice lyrical elements and was quite engaging. The fine playing earned the YAP musicians an encore by Brahms, which was wildly applauded by the large audience.
One last comment about the Cactus Pear Music Festival. Their program notes were written by pianist Jeffrey Sykes. They were the most readable and illuminating notes I've read in a long time.

Oregon State Archives has a Historical Records Index On-line which includes entires compiled by examining actual records held by the Archives. The spelling of surnames and other information reflects the original records. There are currently 572,940 entries in the index. Records include births, deaths, marriages, naturalizations, probates, divorce and many, many, more. Surname and County searches are available.
As a legacy to commemorate the sesquicentennial of Oregon's statehood, the Oregon State Archives announces the launch of the Early Oregonians Database on its website
This resource uses data from census, death, probate, and other records to help researchers find information and documents about people who lived in Oregon prior to statehood. Volunteers at the Archives have worked on this project for more than five years. The database currently contains over 105,500 entries for individuals who lived in Oregon prior to statehood. Because of limits on available records and documentation, the project can be defined to include people living in Oregon from 1800
to 1860.
The foundation of information in the database is based on data extracted from the 1850 and 1860 censuses for Oregon. Volunteers have created profiles of individuals that capture information about their parents, spouses, and birth and death information. When possible additional information from records in the Archives holdings and other published sources have been used to provide more complete or accurate information.
Various records from the Oregon State Archives such as probate records, death certificates, and marriage records were searched to identify individuals who appeared to meet the criteria. As additional features of the database become functional, researchers will be able to view a list of records associated with a particular individual that are part of the Oregon State Archives holdings and request copies.
Despite the fact that large populations of Native Americans lived in the Oregon Country prior to 1840, documentation of those individuals is scant and not readily available. Because of this, Native Americans presented a special challenge. Currently the database includes close to 3,500 individuals of Native American descent. Information on Native Americans that lived into the twentieth century can be problematic as well. Project volunteers are beginning to work on the Indian censuses compiled for the various reservations between 1885 and 1940 with the goal of incorporating more information and individuals in the project over time.
Further review and editing will result in additional entries when evidence supports inclusion in the database. If you have documentation
you would like to contribute to the Early Oregonians Database, contact the Archives staff at firstname.lastname@example.com A more detailed description of the project and an FAQ are available at http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/eo_overview.html and http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/eo_faqs.html

I wasn't playing yet during the whole Hakkar-plague "event" but I heard about it during the Scourge Event, and have always been extremely intrigued about it. The similarities to real life quarantine scenarios is almost hard to believe, yet it really happened! Only in an MMO.

I remember reading about (I wasn't playing) something that happened in Ultima Online when a player killed Lord British, who was "visiting". It'd be like Metzen showing up in-game and someone killing him. He was speaking to a crowd of players, very RP-ish, and someone loosed a fire spell at him (as players tend to do.) To everyone's surprise, Lord British died! The backlash was HUGE, and very public, and people reacted as if someone real had actually been assassinated.

It's one of the legends that initially made me interested in these mysterious MMOs.Radeshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

Governor Cuomo Announces Latest Round of Recharge NY Power Allocations
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees has approved another round of low-cost power allocations under the Governor's Statewide ReCharge NY (RNY) program, resulting in capital investments and new jobs across New York State. A total of 11.8 megawatts (MW) of low-cost power will be distributed among 26 business operations and three not-for-profit organizations, which are expected to leverage an estimated $270 million in capital investments. Nearly 3,100 jobs are supported by this round of allocations, of which more than 300 new jobs will be created.
Over the last few years, the power allocations that we have distributed through the ReCharge NY program have enabled businesses across the state to expand and create jobs in their communities, Governor Cuomo said. With another round of low-cost power allocations, we are continuing to invest in regional economies from Western New York to the North Country, and I look forward to seeing these investments deliver results for New Yorkers.
This is the ninth round of power allocations under the RNY program, which stems from legislation signed by the Governor in 2011. The program, administered by NYPA, is designed to spur economic development throughout New York State by providing low-cost power to businesses and other entities that agree to create or retain jobs.
The RNY allocations can be viewed here.
NYPA Chairman John R. Koelmel said, The Governors ReCharge NY program has had a major impact on economic development in New York State. By lowering electric rates for businesses and other enterprises across the State, the program has proven to be an invaluable resource that directly translates into spurring capital investments and securing jobs.
Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA President and Chief Executive Officer, said, NYPA is committed, under the Governors leadership, to utilize its lower cost power for the protection of jobs throughout the State. ReCharge NY, now in its third year, is supporting more than 380,000 jobs at wide-ranging businesses.
Including todays allocations, the Governors program has provided approximately 737 MW to more than 600 business operations and 71 not-for-profit organizations over the last two years. For perspective, one megawatt is enough power to meet the needs of 800 to 1,000 typical homes.
RNY offers up to seven-year power contracts. Half of the power under the program455 MWis from NYPAs Niagara and St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt hydroelectric power plants,
which provide some of the lowest-cost electricity in the State. The remaining 455 MW is economical power secured by NYPA from wholesale market sources. In addition to jobs and capital investment commitments, other evaluation criteria for ReCharge NY applications include the significance of the cost of electricity to the overall cost of doing business, the applicants risk of closure or curtailing operations, the significance of the applicants facility to the local economy and its commitment to energy efficiency.
