Project Updates
Welcome New Staff
Michelle Boercker joined the River Partners team as a Restoration Biologist in June 2009. Michelle earned a Bachelor's of Science degree from Western Washington University (Bellingham, WA) and a Master's of Science degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (2006). Michelle's graduate work focused primarily on plant-pathogen and plant-insect interactions. As part of River Partners' science staff, Michelle is participating in various field monitoring activities, elderberry transplants, and canoe and kayak excursions with the public.
Born in Humboldt County, Amanda Freeman completed her undergraduate work in Environmental Science and International Studies at Northwestern University. In 2000 she started her restoration efforts on California's rivers through the AmeriCorps Watershed Stewards Project based in Fortuna, CA. After serving as Program Director of the Mattole Restoration Council in Humboldt County, Amanda returned to law school and earned a JD degree from University of Oregon, with a certificate in Environmental and Natural Resources law and a focus on water law. Amanda is happy to return to California to join River Partners as its Western Regional Deputy Director.
Jessica Hammond joined River Partners as a Restoration Biologist in June 2009. After receiving her bachelor's degree from Florida Atlantic University, Jessica attended CSU Chico where she conducted her master's thesis research on Yellow-billed Cuckoo habitat along the Sacramento River. Jessica is excited to be a new member of River Partners' staff and is looking forward to gaining more experience with riparian restoration ecology.
Julie Rentner joined the River Partners team as a Restoration Ecologist in January of 2009. Julie has a Bachelor's of Science degree in Forestry from the University of California, Berkeley and a Master's of Science degree in Natural Resource Management from the University of Hawaii, Manoa (2005). She is also a Certified Arborist with the International Society of Arboriculture. Based in River Partners' Modesto office, Julie has worked to restore the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge, interacted with the Endangered Species Recovery Program to develop plantings for the riparian brush rabbit, and conducted restoration planning on the San Joaquin and Kern rivers.
River Partners Expands Website's Science Content
Collaborating with Tom Griggs, Restoration Fellow, Meghan Gilbart, has worked to package River Partners' expertise into a format that can help people understand what the organization does for wildlife and for public safety. The information will be distributed on the River Partners' website and possibly used in other outlets.
Tom Griggs, both before and during his time working for River Partners, has amassed a huge wealth of knowledge about riparian restoration. For 20 years he has learned not only how to grow riparian plants, but how to create forests of wildlife habitat that will improve flood safety through combinations of individual plants. This knowledge is not easily found in scientific literature, yet is critical to successful riparian restoration design. Restoration design requires an understanding of the structure of individual plants as well as the structure that is formed when certain plants are combined.
Gilbart and Griggs are currently working on two major sections; the first section, Vegetation as Wildlife Habitat, is ready to go on the website and the second section, Vegetation and Flood Conveyance, will be launched soon. Two major goals – the creation of wildlife habitat and the protection from flood damage – are the driving forces behind the restoration designs that River Partners' creates.
Meghan Gilbart began her yearlong fellow position with River Partners in January 2009. She recently earned her masters in biology at CSU Chico, defending her thesis, "The relationship between health of blue elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) and colonization rates of the Valley elderberry longhorn beetle (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus) in restored riparian habitat."

Week 11 of training complete: traveling back from New Orleans, 33 miles of running, and a real crappy end to the work week.
Sunday: "Rest day." Hah. Got home from my trip to New Orleans around 1:30 AM. I definitely started the week of training on a tired start. Oh well.
Monday: 6 miles. Slept late and laid around reading for a few hours. In the afternoon I met my best friend forever Megan for two hours of coffee and catching up, which made me happy to see her but sad that she's not here. Good friends like that are hard to find. Got home and went for a cool-evening run, my favorite. Showered and then Dan and I went out to our monthly sushi date. It was delicious.
Tuesday: 16 mile long run. One of my best longer runs. I purposefully started slow, which I think made the last few miles not hurt. I mean, it hurt a little but I felt surprisingly good. At night we went to our friends' house to watch their baby for an hour and then eat dinner together.
Wednesday: Rest. And work at night.
Thursday: 5 miles in the morning. Coffee date with a friend. Then work at night.
Friday: Gym in the morning – stair stepper and weights. Such a benign start to the day…
And then a horrific night at work – my first time seeing/participating in a code blue (term for an unresponsive patient needing resuscitation). The patient coded for 45 minutes and then ended up passing away. Several days later I still find myself thinking about it a lot, and unable to get the images out of my head.
I've seen several dead patients and when I was younger, my grandparents at their funerals. But they were all already dead, and that made it way less terrible than watching an active death fight against a very active attempt at resuscitation. I feel sad for the patient, sad for the family, and in a self-involved way, sad for me and my loved ones and the potential for that fate. I would guess that I think about death and dying slightly more than the average person (out of curiosity and because of my job), but to see what it looks like to go that way is fucking traumatic.
Saturday: I had 10 miles in the "plan" but didn't sleep much the night before, so 6 miles it was.
Random Favorites
Podcasts: Freakonomics "There's A War On Sugar. Is It Justified?"
Reading: I put my other books on hold for Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. I've been waiting for months for it to be MY TURN via the library hold system, and this week was the week! Wee!
I also maaay be listening to a library audiobook that People Magazine deemed "One of the Top Ten Books of the Year" (high praise? Or now-verified trash?) – Liane Moriarty's The Husband's Secret.
Listening: Dispatch's Only the Wild Ones. New song from a band I liked in college.
Meal: definitely sushi. Sushi forever.

Going to a National Event or even a local event for the first time can be stressful and leave you full of questions. Hopefully, we can answer them and make you feel more at ease!
Q. Why should I go to a National Event?
Events are a great way to meet people and make friends from all over…and they are fun! Events are held at a hotel and many people go for a mini-vacation. There are activities planned day and night and usually last 3 days. You just have to show up!
Q. Do other people know why we are there?
No. It is also expected to stay that way. When booking the rooms, the block will be under something like a "Gardening club" or something else. It is never under anything to do with herpes. As a matter of fact, the word is rarely mentioned all weekend. The event provides wristbands so everyone in the group knows why you are there but nobody else will.
Q. Are events one big "Hook up" or a sex party?
LOL, this question probably gets asked the most. The answer is NO. While at an event, you are expected to be on your best behavior. Some people that go are at an event are there for the first time. It is also the first time that they have been around so many people in the same boat as they are. Of course, people do go to an event to meet others. Some people use an event as an opportunity to meet the person that they have been talking to online.
Q. How much does an event cost?
This varies by the event. It is usually between $60-$80 for the event fee plus hotel and flight if you don't live close. The event fees are used to pay for a banquet, maybe some lunches, meeting room, activities or a DJ. Each event is different so visit the website of the event. You really get a lot for the event fee. Of course, you are responsible for your hotel and travel costs.
Q. Who organizes these events?
These events are not run by HWerks. They are run by awesome volunteers! They put in long hours for months to plan these events. They do all the organizing and planning to make sure everyone has fun. If you find yourself at an event, make sure to thank the organizers for all of their hard work!
Q. Can anyone go to an event?
Events are open to all with herpes (HSV) or Human papillomavirus (HPV). The minimum age requirement is usually 21 and you do not need to belong to any website. Some people are in a relationship with a non-H partner, still want to attend to see old friends and want to bring them along. Exceptions have been made but check with the event organizers just in case.
Q. Is there alcohol? Will I feel out of place if I do not drink?
You will see alcohol and some activities include going to a bar or restaurant that serves it. Everyone at an event is an adult and on vacation. If you don't drink and are ok being around others drinking then you are all good! You will still have a great time!
Q. Do people look for roommates to cut down on costs?
Absolutely! Some will sleep 4 or 5 to a room just so they can go! The event organizers usually keep a list of people looking for roommates or you can post on the inside of HWerks that you are looking for one. With everything going on, you won't spend too much time in your room, anyway!
Q. I am nervous! I don't know anyone there! Will I feel odd?
We can't tell you how many people were nervous and scared to go to an event! They then quickly realized that there is nothing to be nervous about! Unlike walking into a huge crowd of strangers, you are in the club! The people are very friendly and will introduce themselves. Still unsure? Visit the forums inside and make friends before an event or ask questions!

Mr. Bee should be there today. I'm really happy that he's out of CT and in FL now. And I'm even happier that we get episode 100 tomorrow or Monday.

I'm happy that they are reunited. One, because they are lovely, two, because episode 100! Taylor from Pimc talked about having a meet and greet in June of 2008. I'm thinking I may go if it's planned pretty far in advance. I can start working the OT now. Sorry, I went off on random thoughts.

Thanks for the dedication Nessa! I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Things have been crazy here, getting settled, unpacking, you know. :)
All is done and right with the world! I love my internet friends! I guess I should say, I love my friends!

Mr. Bee,
Please don't worry about the time it takes to respond. I knew you were busy so I honestly didn't expect you to comment.
Get yourself settled, we will wait patiently :)

Mother Nature continues to menace New York. This time her wrath was felt in a snake attack. This morning cops found a boa constrictor across the street from Central Park, at the entrance to a laundromat at 410 West 110th Street. NY1 followed up, learning that the snake had been found by the landromat's employees "curled in between bags of clothes." The snake, its provenance yet unknown, is now in the care of Animal Care and Control.
The incident has been noticed as far away as the North Country; New York's Intelligencer, whose turn of mind is evidently similar to ours, tracks other recent snake sightings in the city. They didn't think to include this lovely picture of Rachel Weisz with their story, though, so we feel as if we've really added something to the coverage.

Publisher's Summary
Luke and Ben have no time for retaliation. A new and even more insidious threat is rising. Unless the Skywalkers survive to sound the alarm, the galaxy will suffer as it has never suffered before. But the reinforcements they need remain grounded on Coruscant, where the political battle of wills between the Jedi Council and Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala has reached a boiling point.
Now Luke and Ben must go on the run, taking along the inscrutable - and dangerous - Sith apprentice Vestara Khai. With a host of Sith warriors in hot pursuit, the Skywalkers soon find themselves trapped on the moon Pydyr, caught between their former allies and a mob of angry Fallanassi. A new truce may be their only hope.

Fate of the Jedi - Vortex
This series continues to improve as it the story progresses. This is a much more emotional story. It's has happy moment and some sad moments. I really enjoyed and will listen to it again. If you follow the star wars universe, you'll want to continue with this story. If you haven't read/listened any of the previous Fate of the Jedi, then you'll want to read or listen to them first.
Marc Thompson is a great narrator. I hope to see more narrations from him and not just Star Wars books.

If you could sum up Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Vortex in three words, what would they be?
By far the best one in the series so far.
What did you like best about this story?
Its not just the main characters that are amazing you find a lot of secondary characters to care about. It really paints the star wars universe in an amazing detailed way.
What does Marc Thompson bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
His performance is really as good as it gets. After awhile i really don't need him to say who is talking anyway he has such a distinct performance for each of the characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
there is a death of a character in the book that was without spoiling anything absolutely stunning.
Any additional comments?
a must buy for any Star Wars fan.

Best Star Wars book in a long time
At last a fate of the Jedi book where the Jedi act like the Jedi we know and love. Luke and Ben's story is magnificent and the rest of the Jedi finally decide it's time to stop being Dalaa's punch bag. There is so much well written action in this book that after the fairly slowly pace of the FOTJ series so far that it almost feels like a different series. I only hope that the remaining books in the series continue with the momentum built up in this book. Also Vortex works great as an audiobook - the reading, voices and sound effects are atmospheric and done very well.

Automating your trading strategy might be one of the best ideas. This way, you will be able to obtain similar trading results without actually devoting much of your time to trading. Find out how you can automate your strategy, read about the systems that work and learn how to identify the ones that don't.
If you decided to start trading currencies pairs and looked for ways to increase your winning chances, you most likely came across Forex automated trading proposals. They are tools that trade on the Forex market for you, allowing you to focus on market news and your strategies. While automated systems are robotised, you still need to set up the system yourself. Basically, automated trading lets the trader include a set of rules and program the trading sessions. Once the programming is done, the system starts trading, based on your data. Automated trading is linked to a broker and it uses the same language the broker uses – MetaTrader 4 is the best known trading tool. Some programs have a built-in trading system called wizard. It allows to select default indicators and rules. Most traders use their own indicators, based on the information they have. They don't just rely on the robot to do the all the work.

BENEFITING: IMPACT Melanoma
ORGANIZER: Mary
EVENT: Melanoma 5K Run Walk for Hope 2016
EVENT DATE: Sep 25, 2016
Mary Rutkowski wrote -
Hi All, as you know my daughter - the amazing Addie Eve - has been a warrior in the truest sense of the word this year! She has been bravely and fiercely and beautifully being treated for Stage 3C Melanoma since December 2015 including one surgery that month and another in January 2016. She had a zillion things to learn, options to weigh and decisions to make along the way for treatment methods, post surgery, and opted for gambling for Pembro in a clinical trial that started April 2016 and will go up til April 2017. Her gamble (and many prayers were answered) worked out and she was chosen to get Pembro. All along the way she's had her determined, beautiful and dedicated girlfriend (now wonderful fiance) Ashley Mallon by her side - and I mean every step of the way - as Ashley was often doing rotations for clinicals during her nursing school program on days when she wasn't with Addie at MGH or RI Hospital or sometimes - both!!! I will be running, on September 25, at a fundraiser for the Melanoma Association of New England to help raise funds for research and support in Addie's name. I would love for you to join my team and/or to help raise funds under the name "Team Addie Eve" as if we get at least $100 in donations - (I am aiming for $1000 but who knows - the sky is the limit!) there will be a special dedication marker for Addie on along the path that day. There is a also a walk option, family walk and kids run. This event is being held on September 25 at 8:30 with some events then and the 5K race at 10am. Please feel free to join me that day at the Run/Race/Walk for Hope: http://mfne.org/runwalkforhope/. I have been truly, deeply humbled by Addie's phenomenal strength, good humor, patience, compassion and again - sheer bravery this year. I am the luckiest and most blessed mom in the world to have her as my daughter. That's me in the photo standing in front of a beautiful rainbow on my recent July spiritual retreat - where I prayed and hoped beyond measure daily that there is a pot of golden restored health for dear Addie. I hope to see you to see you on 9/25 or see your donation here. Thank you for all the small and big ways you have also supported Addie (and Ashley) along this journey. Love lots, Mary Rutkowski

Midwestern accounting and consulting powerhouse Virchow, Krause & Co. is kicking off the New Year by flexing its acquisition muscle.
The top-ranked firm has expanded its Detroit area presence with the merger of Zalenko & Associates PC, a $6 million firm based in Southfield, Mich., to its fold.
As part of the deal, Virchow Krasue picks up one office and 35 employees, including eight partners, giving it a total of $129.1 million in revenue, 13 offices, and a staff of more than 1,000, including 146 partners.
The merger marks Virchow Krause's fourth since July 2004. The firm, which made acquisitions in Milwaukee, Chicago and Minneapolis last year, entered the Detroit market in November 2003 via a merger with Bingham Farms-based Nemes Allen & Co.
Noting that the firm has an "aggressive growth strategy" planned for the Detroit market, Virchow Krause chief executive Tim Christen said that the merger with Zalenko & Associates puts it closer to reaching its goal of having more than 200 employees in Detroit by 2007.
Zalenko & Associates focuses on serving many of the same industries as Virchow Krause's existing Detroit office -- real estate and property management; wholesale and retail; distribution; service industries; construction and manufacturing; and medical and legal practitioners. The firm also serves automotive suppliers.
Zalenko's partners and staff will operate under the Virchow Krause moniker from their existing location in Southfield.

The Mystery of the Crown of Thorns
by A Passionist Father
Preserving Christian Publications, Inc.
Albany, NY
The Old Testament is full of mysteries. It is, in fact, the shadow of Christianity, and the veil which indicates, whilst it conceals, Jesus Christ. Since the fall of Adam man feels two wants: the first is the necessity of acknowledging his fallen, state; the second is the need of a Mediator and Redeemer, between him and God. The mysterious ceremony of the Azazel, or emissary goat, represents and expresses these two wants. We find in it the confession of sin, and the removal of it by a Mediator. Let us say something first about confession of sin and of human misery.
Even pagans, with the dim and flickering light of reason, could perceive that some terrible calamity had fallen upon our human nature. On one side they discovered in man something very noble, with high aspirations: on the other side they found him groveling upon the earth, degraded by low passions, and defiled by the filth of sin and vice. Hence St. Paul says: "We know that every creature groaneth and is in labor even till now." [Rom. 8: 22] Every one of us can cry with holy David, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted; my eye, my soul, my heart is troubled. ... My life is wasted with grief, and my years in sighs." [Ps. 30: 10]
Sin being the cause of human misery, because sin maketh people miserable [Prov. 16: 34], hence arises in the sinner the want and the desire of removing sin from his troubled and afflicted soul. Sin is to the soul what poison is to the body. Both must be ejected if we wish to enjoy health, peace and rest. The commission of sin generates in man the necessity of confession: because sin, to be cured, must be acknowledged. Hence, in many parts of Sacred Scripture we find the obligation of confession imposed by God upon the sinner. As soon as Adam and Eve had fallen, God interrogated them, asking them what they had done, to oblige them to acknowledge their transgression. Cain murdered his innocent brother Abel; the body of the latter was still warm when God, in a visible form, appeared to Cain and asked: "Where is thy brother Abel?" [Gen. 4: 9] Let Cain answer this question and he will confess the murder.
The more sin is multiplied on earth the more explicit the obligation of confession is made by the command of God. For the sake of brevity we must pass over the various ordinances of God contained in the fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of Leviticus, which are practical confessions of sin, as the Angelic doctor, St. Thomas, observes. We will, however, make some few quotations from other parts of Scripture. "The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Say to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall have committed any of all the sins that men are wont to commit, and by negligence shall have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and offended, they shall confess their sin." [Num. 5: 6] Again: "He that hideth his sins shall not prosper; but he that confesseth and forsakes them shall obtain mercy." [Prov. 28: 13]
From the Gospel we learn that the Jews at the time of St. John the Baptist observed the practice of confession: "John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins. And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins." [Mk. 1: 4-5; 4, 5; see also Mt. 3: 6] This is more than sufficient to show that confession of sin was a duty among the Jews. This duty is too well known in the Christian Church to require proof from us in this place.
2. As we Catholics are commanded by the Church to confess our grievous sins at least once every year, so the Israelites were commanded by God to celebrate every year the feast of expiation, when the High Priest, by a mysterious rite, had to transfer publicly all the sins of the people upon the head of a living goat, in Hebrew called Azazel, or the emissary goat. On this solemn occasion the High Pontiff, in the presence of the assembled multitude, laid both hands on the head of the mysterious animal, confessing aloud all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their offenses and sins, and praying that they might light on its head; he gave the emissary goat in charge of a man appointed for this office, who led it into a desert, and abandoned it to the universal execration of Heaven and earth. [Lev. 16: 21]
In this ceremony we have seen accomplished one of the two duties mentioned above, namely, confession of sin, and the acknowledgment, before Heaven and earth that we are a fallen race of men. In consequence, however, of our fall, we feel a second want.
3. We feel the need of a mediator to relieve us from the crushing burden of our sins and miseries. In short, human nature feels the want of a Redeemer, Who, in His goodness and merciful compassion, may vouchsafe to deliver us from the manifold evils that oppress our common humanity. Hence, the holy Patriarch Jacob, on his death-bed, foretold that the Redeemer Who was to be sent "shall be the expectation of nations." [Gen. 49: 10] It is evident that this Redeemer, to cure and save the sinner, must be innocent and free from sin, in order that His mediation and atonement may be acceptable to God. Among the Jews this office of mediator was on this occasion well prefigured in the Azazel, or emissary goat. This animal could not be guilty of any sin. Hence, being guiltless, the High Pontiff laid publicly and solemnly the iniquities, offenses and sins of the children of Israel upon its head, and drove it away from them, praying and hoping that, with the victim, all the sins were taken away from the people.
This rite or ceremony, however, without the profound mystery of the Crown of Thorns, would remain very obscure and unsatisfactory: because a senseless beast could not atone for the sins of man. But this animal was a striking figure of the Divine Lamb of God, on Whose adorable Head all the iniquities, offenses and sins of mankind were laid by the Eternal God, represented in the person of the Jewish High Priest. "All we, like sheep, have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way, and the Lord hath laid upon him the iniquities of us all He shall be led like a sheep to the slaughter." [Is. 53: 6] This terrible mystery was fully revealed and accomplished when the Divine Lamb of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, was crowned with thorns. It was then that the Eternal Father laid upon the innocent head of His Son the iniquities of us all.
He was then made our true Mediator and our most merciful Redeemer: for, as holy Bede remarks, "by voluntarily assuming the Crown of Thorns, our merciful Lord undertook to atone for our sins, which, like thorns, germinate from the accursed earth of our corrupted hearts." [St. Bede comment in Joan. ch. 19] St. Augustine says, "Corona spinea capiti ejus imponitur quia punctio peccatorum nostrorum aridis tribulis comparatur." [Senn. 41, de Pass. Domini] Contemplate, then, Christian soul, this Divine Son of God in the hall of the Roman governor's palace, sitting upon a cold stone, crowned with thorns.
Reflect that, whilst His cruel enemies torture His adorable Head with a horrible crown of long and sharp thorns, the Eternal Father presses it deeply down by laying upon it the enormous load of all the sins of mankind. Whilst these sharp thorns torture our Savior's head, our sins transfix His Divine Heart and make Him endure a double agony---one of pain in His Body, and another of grief and shame in His most holy Soul. Are you, devout reader, willing to promote, by your example and opportune words, the devotion of the Crown of Thorns, with the pious intention of making some suitable reparation to our dear Lord for the insults and sufferings endured by Him on this occasion? You will surely be moved to show your gratitude to our common Redeemer if you reflect that, at His crowning with thorns, He fulfilled for our sake and welfare the two duties of Confession and atonement. You remember that, as we observed above, thorns are both the punishment and the emblem of sin. Now, it is evident that our Lord, by allowing a Crown of Thorns to be placed upon His adorable Head, acknowledged by this act of profound humility the existence of our sins, which in reality is a confession of them made by Him publicly to God and man.
Moreover, by voluntarily taking them upon His Head, He, like the Jewish Azazel, undertook to atone for them, not in figure, but in truth, as our actual Mediator and real Savior, thus fulfilling the twofold duties of confession and atonement. In conclusion, we should learn that the Sacrament of Penance, instituted by Him for the remission of sin, should be devoutly frequented by us if we wish to obtain from His mercy forgiveness for our transgressions.
4. When King Clovis, in the presence of an immense multitude of his people, presented himself to receive Baptism from the holy Bishop Remigius, this latter placed his pontifical hand on the head of the kneeling monarch, and, with great solemnity and dignity, said to him: "Bow down your neck with meekness, great Sicambrian prince, and promise to burn what you have hitherto adored, and to adore Him Whom you have attempted to burn. As a pagan you adored idols: promise now to burn and destroy them, throughout the kingdom of France. In your pagan zeal you attempted to abolish the religion of Jesus crucified: promise now to adore and to worship Him." The fervent royal neophyte promptly made to the bishop these two promises, and received the forgiveness of all his sins through the holy Sacrament of Baptism. [Life of St. Remigius]
Confession is a second baptism for the sinner. When we go to Confession we should be resolved to destroy in our hearts all the secret idols of our sins and evil passions, and to love and worship Jesus Christ alone, Who, by His humiliations, sufferings and death, atoned for them, and obtained for us the grace of pardon and reconciliation.

Having grown into a decisive platform for the course of the industry for the near future, this year's International Uzbek Cotton and Textile Fair has broken several records. Uzbekistan signed contracts for exports of textile products for more than $1.32 billion with partners from the EU, Turkey, Singapore, seven CIS countries, and other states.
The 12th International Uzbek Cotton and Textile Fair was attended by a total of 1,500 representatives of 700 companies and organizations from 44 countries. There is a reason behind such a remarkable presence. Many years of analysis of supply and demand on the world cotton market shows that Uzbekistan ranks among its largest players, and its capacity tends to grow year by year. The country not just increases cotton fiber production rates, but also actively develops textile industry.
There is another vital fact: the major international forum is held at the most appropriate time of the year, at the height of harvesting and active trading in the cotton market.
"We have learned about cotton fiber, yarn, fabrics and other products. They are of high quality and competitive in the world market. We intend to establish exports of Uzbek cotton fiber and its products, as well as open an office of our company in Tashkent," said the head of the Italian Studio Zanon company Riccardo Zanon.
The fair is important for Uzbekistan as a major platform to contract the bulk of the domestic cotton fiber, thereby having a significant impact on the world market. The influence is clearly reflected by the significantly expanded map of Uzbek cotton exports.
Today, Uzbekistan runs up-to-date multi-sectoral logistics system and 23 territorial cotton terminals. The system is replenished with new transport routes with the gradual expansion of supplies of Uzbek cotton. The visitors learned about cotton facilities of Uzbekistan by the example of Tashkent-Tola terminal.
"We are very pleased by the conditions provided at the terminal for foreign partners. This is our tenth visit to IUCTF, and we always use its services. I would like to note the annual growth of the authority and the number of participants of the forum. We commonly use Uzbek cotton at our manufactures. The demand for it is growing every year. We purchased 200 tons of cotton fiber at the last year's fair, and intend to procure more than 400 tons this year," said Director of Sarah Composite Mille LTD Quamrul Ahsan (Bangladesh).
As noted by many participants, the demand for cotton fiber has been growing in the world market owing to the Uzbek science. The domestic researchers were the world's first to develop the technology knockout gene, which allows improving fiber quality, accelerating ripening and raising cotton yield.
IUCTF assigns a significant role to the textile industry, which has turned into a locomotive of the national economy in a short time.
The vital tasks at the present stage include strengthening of international cooperation and involvement of foreign partners in further modernization, technical and technological extension of production, scaled promotion of domestic producers to international markets, implementation of innovative projects that should bring the light industry of Uzbekistan to a drastically new level. This year's International Uzbek Cotton Fair will undoubtedly contribute to the implementation of large-scale projects, as it involves the world's leading manufacturers in mutually beneficial relations with Uzbekistan in cotton and textile business.
O'zbekyengilsanoat and a textile advertising and marketing agency under it prepared a 1,000 square meters textile exhibition area to demonstrate the capacity of the industry.
Domestic textile, garment and knitwear enterprises demonstrated cotton yarn and fabric, dyed and mixed yarn, knitted fabrics, finished knitted and garments, hosiery and many other products of light industry, the manufacture of which was developed during independent development. Design Center Shark Liboslari held a show of 18 new collections of clothes that were designed by textile companies and well-known designers of Uzbekistan.
As part of the forum, O'zbekyengilsanoat also held several interesting presentations of potential of the domestic textile industry, including information about privileges and preferences, favorable investment climate, the availability of qualified
staff and raw materials, advanced manufacturing, financial, banking, transport and engineering infrastructures.
"Equipped with modern, resource-saving technologies by the headmost companies of Germany, Italy, Turkey, our company manufactures 10 million items of knitted articles per year. The high quality of yarn, fabric and garments has been
increasingly making our products internationally marketable. The bulk of it is exported to Russia, Belarus, South Korea, Poland. As of the current year, we have established the production of flannel fabric and terry towels, which should further enhance our export capacity. The Fair clearly shows that textile industry of Uzbekistan ranks among the leaders in the introduction of modern equipment and technologies," says UzTex-Chirchiq director Otabek Asadullayev.

Australian security market tipped to grow 12 per cent: Gartner
The Australian security technology and services market is forecast to hit $1.7 billion in 2013 due to the expansion of the technologies enterprises use to improve their security, according to a new Gartner report.
The Future of Global Information Security study forecast that the Australian market will increase 12.2 per cent this year, up from $1.5 billion in 2012.
According to Gartner UK research director Ruggero Contu, security remains one of the top IT concern areas.
"The consistent increases in the complexity of targeted attacks, coupled with the necessity of companies to address regulatory or compliance-related issues continue to support healthy security market growth," he said in a statement.
Contu added that there are three main trends driving investment: mobile security, big data and advanced targeted attacks.
He said bring your own device (BYOD) is a mega-trend that will have a "far-reaching influence" on the entire security industry.
For example, the shift from device to app/data security meant that there is a chance for some security technology service providers to capture endpoint protection budgets.
"Secondly, since some BYOD projects are centred on the productivity gains of one to two apps, there could be buying centres adding security outside of traditional information technology centres," Contu said.
According to Gartner US research director Eric Ahlm, the amount of data required for information security to detect advanced attacks will grow rapidly over the next five years.
To support the need for security analytics, changes in information security people, technologies, integration methods and processes will be required. This would include security data warehousing and an emerging role for security data analysts, he said.
Turning to advance attacks, Gartner US research director Lawrence Pingree said that attackers are now capable of maintaining footholds inside an organisation once they successfully breach security controls.
"Attackers look for ways to remain persistent on the target organisation's internal network either through the use of malware or, even if the malware is detected and removed, via post malware use of user credentials gathered during the period of time the malware was active," he said.
"They then change their tactics to secondary attack strategies as necessary, looking for other ways around any internal security controls in the event they lose their initial attack foothold."
According to Pingree, enterprises should employ a defence-in-depth, layered approach model. He said the layered approach is often managed in independent ways to accomplish stated security goals, namely to detect, prevent, respond and eliminate.

'I love Farrah Fawcett more than ever,' says on-and-off partnerMay 12th, 2009 - 6:11 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, May 12 (ANI): Farrah Fawcett's longtime on-and-off partner Ryan O'Neal has said that he loves the 'Charlie's Angels' star "more than ever" because of the way she is battling her cancer.
In a new U.S. TV interview, O'Neal said that the 62-year-old star had taught all her friends how to be better people.
Talking of her brave cancer battle with newswoman Meredith Vieira, O'Neal admitted that he loved Fawcett more than he ever had because of what she had been through since she was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006.
"In the last two years I loved her more than I've ever loved her - ever. She's so much more of a woman. (She's) powerful, courageous, fearless and all those adjectives. And I look at her with awe," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
"And she's not afraid, either. I never saw fear at all.
"She asked me once: 'Am I gonna make it?' She asked me that a couple of weeks ago. I said, 'Yeah, sure, you'll make it. And if you don't, I'll go with you.'
"She's the rock. She taught us all how to cope. She's extraordinary. I don't know what I'll do without her, to tell you the truth," he added.
O'Neal's heartfelt interview will be broadcasted on TV later this week. (ANI)

Blood type diet
So many diets out there these days. I counted a hundred of them on Wikipedia alone. Some of them do not sound healthy to me, some of them sound silly. Some, like Kangatarian for example, are hard to follow unless you live in Australia or raise kangaroo.
But there is one diet that I find kind of interesting, so I wanted to share. It is based on a person`s blood type. According to its creator, Dr D`Adamo, there are lectins (proteins) in every food that react differently with a different blood type, thus making certain foods unhealthy for certain groups (people with O, A, B or AB blood types).
Like, I learned chicken, avocados and tomatoes are not the best food choices for me, because their lectins cause an allergic reaction to my B blood type body and slow my metabolism down. Damn! I wish it was radish or cheese, or something else I rarely eat. Oh, well.
So, if you have an unexplainable allergic reaction or if you want to loose weight (start a diet), there is this new thing to try. Or did I just make your life more complicated? ))

Should We Question Those Who "Question Authority"?
October 2000By Gordon D. Marino
Gordon D. Marino is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Hong/Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College in Minnesota. His essays have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The Christian Century, and many other periodicals.
Recently I spoke with a nephew who is attending a Catholic high school. He informed me that he was taking a religion class and went on to offer a lecturette, the conclusion of which was that we can be quite sure that Jesus did not say most of what is attributed to Him in the Bible. I asked him how he made the distinction between what Jesus really did and did not say, and with some degree of sophistication he submitted that statements which are inconsistent with the Jewish traditions of Jesus era and which serve the power interests of someone else could be discounted as having been interpolated by a redactor with a particular interest. For example, Jesus allegedly pointing to Peter and announcing Upon this rock I will build my church (Mt. 16:18) is not, my teenage scholar postulated, something a Jewish person would ever have thought of saying in Jesus time. Moreover, the statement clearly serves the interest of someone eager to found a power structure called the Catholic Church. Hence, we need only skim over Matthew 16:18 and many other remarks like it. No doubt my nephew and his teacher have been influenced by the Jesus Seminar.
One big principle that has filtered down into the tool box of my nephews critical thinking needs to be questioned, namely, the old Marxist saw that if you can find an interest in a view, then you have grounds for dismissing that view as nothing but the expression of that interest. To be sure, in theory other considerations are supposed to be brought to bear, yet in practice it seems that wherever an interest can reasonably be posited as animating a view, that view is dismissed as the mere expression of that interest. The notion that you can dismiss someones position on the basis of a reading of the motivation behind that position is a common error registered in most logic texts as the genetic fallacy, which consists of negatively judging the truth-value of an idea solely on the grounds that the causes of that idea are suspect.
The causes of an idea, however, tell us nothing about whether or not that idea meets the conditions for being counted as true. Thus it could be, as Freud would say, that my belief in God is merely a reflection of my strong need to believe that there is Someone who can make sense out of events in this world; yet it does not follow that because I want there to be a God, God does not exist. This, of course, is literally elementary logic. However, inasmuch as pointing out interests has become such an entrenched method of critiquing ideas, I would like to point out that the interest argument is a sword that cuts both ways. For those inclined to attack positions on the basis of interests, it is crucial to acknowledge that with this gambit all interests should be brought under the microscope.
Those skeptical that Jesus said something because that something would have served the interests of a Gospel narrator need to acknowledge the possibility that their skepticism might also serve a personal interest. Within and around the Church there are many people with a strong faith in the enlightenment view that reason is the only form of legitimate authority and as such all claims to authority built upon an office or personality are dubious. Those sporting bumper stickers that read Question Authority have a strong interest in believing that no one should or even could command them to do anything that they themselves do not want to do. People of this persuasion have a personal stake in believing that Jesus was merely a kind of guru who did not command us to do anything, save perhaps love ourselves.

Ideas for organizing your mediaSeveral new projects and ideas emerged from Microsoft's TechFest 2008 to help streamline people's media intake. CNET News.com's Kara Tsuboi has some of the highlights from the event, including a political blog aggregator and an application that can search...
^B00:00:00 [ Music ] >> We're always looking for better ways to organize our media, whether it's our music, our news, our information. At Techfest 2008 in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft researchers shared new ideas to help us do just that. ^M00:00:16 [ Music ] ^M00:00:20 This music steering project from a Microsoft Asia team allows you to better search through your own music library. It works similarly to Pandora's Music Genome Project, but on your own MP3 player and with your own songs. >> Pandora actually acts as a professionals [inaudible] music. So we actually develop a technology to automatically detects the tags of each music. >> So we've chosen Faith Hill, "The Lucky One" as a song that we like, and we want to find other songs similar? >> Yes. Yes. Yes. >> Okay. ^M00:00:52 [ Music ] ^M00:01:00 >> Whys they are similar, so we detect that automatic tags. So they have 40% [inaudible], and they also have 20% has soft rock. >> If and when it's released to the public, users will also be able to search and purchase new music online based on their preferences, and create playlists built around an activity, like or running or studying. >> So you can set a mood filter, for example, you want to listen to some soft music with slow tempos. >> We're trying to put news stories in context by showing what blogs are talking about what stories. >> That's the premise behind BLEWS, a political blog aggregator that sorts the news, left leaning or right leaning. >> So it's everything from, like, the big name blogs all the way down to just, like, a mom in Illinois who may be blogging. >> If the mom in Illinois is blogging, and we're able to find her on one of the several different feeds that we're talking about, and she's put herself on one of those big lists of Hi, I'm a lefty blog or Hi, I'm a righty blog, then yeah, we've got here on the list. >> In coordination with Microsoft's Live Labs, the blogs are scanned for key words to gauge the author's political bent. And algorithms are deployed to judge the emotional response. >> So, for example, over here, this story about Bill Buckley passing away. Here's the commentators on the right that are talking about it. Here's the two different blog entries that are on the left. >> As of now, Microsoft won't disclose if or when BLEWS will be available to the public. >> Translation websites are nothing new. But Microsoft researchers feel they have a way to improve the process with their Machine Translation Project. >> All we do is choose the language, press the button, and you'll see a side-by-side translation of this page right here. You can do parallel scrolling, parallel highlighting. And if you wanted to share it with somebody, say a colleague who was Chinese, all you do is just choose the Chinese language and it changes as quick as that. >> Researcher Heather Thorne explains that the statistical machine translations program learns from existing translated materials to produce a better translation. >> Even though the translation quality will never be as good as human translation quality, the Machine Translator really allows us to break down our language barriers in various different scenarios, whether it be through translation of text on a web page, through search translation, or just communication with other people. >> Besides translating web pages in real time, one of the most useful features is a live chat, where your instant messages can be immediately translated. >> So imagine you have a colleague that's in another country and you want to be able to talk to them about a project that you're working on together, and you don't quite speak their language well enough to talk to them in their language, all you would have to do is go in and say, okay. I want to talk to my colleague who's in -- who speaks Italian. I would just choose Italian. >> The program launched last year free to the public and can be found at translator.live.com. I'm Kara Tsuboi, CNET News.com ^M00:03:47. [ Music ]
