#30 on the 2016 Bacon Top 31
Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future by Underworld
Oh how the mighty have fallen. If this were the early nineties, I'd be putting my absolute favorite "electronic music" band up near the top of the chart. But today, I feel as though I'm simply throwing them a bone because, hey, the old guys are still willing to give it a shot.
You know the Underworld. "Born Slippy .NUXX," the outro of the 1996 movie Trainspotting, was the song of an entire generation, able to finally breath after the claustrophobia of our childhood, graduating into our own future. Barbara Barbara, the band's ninth album in their 28 year history, will feel very familiar to anyone that has heard Underworld before. I believe this to be a fantastic album, just one that I no longer am able to connect with like I did in my twenties. So, to the second-to-last-spot on the Top 31 they go, a Second Toughest of the Infants no longer.

Back in December, realizing my folks have been running for several years now and still haven't run the Bolder Boulder, I did them a favor and signed them up myself.
Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad — you're running the Bolder Boulder, and now you have to buy plane tickets to Colorado.
I didn't plan to run it with them. But the FOMO — fear of missing out — was building.
Doing the Bolder Boulder feels like a rite of passage around here. The community spirit on the day of the event is palpable. I've never run it. But I don't want to look back and wonder why didn't I immerse myself in the spectacle of masses of people running in chicken suits and tutus, a run in which I can grab a beer along the way, get soaked by a kid (or adult) with a squirt gun and finally, dodge someone on the verge of vomiting at the finish line.
(Last year, while I was parked at the finish line with a crowd of photographers waiting for the millionth-ever Bolder Boulder racer to come through, I met volunteer Paula Gerthe, who told me that she does "puke patrol" at the finish to keep queasy-looking runners from barfing in the middle of traffic. She said she has five kids, so "puke does not scare me.")
In addition to FOMO, I had some guilt — my folks were a little bummed that I wasn't running it with them. When I decided to do it, I texted my dad: I'm running it with you two. He texted back that this made it more special for them.
Knowing Dad, "special" meant: it will be special to run together as a family, and also, it will be "special" when a kid nails me in the face with a squirt gun and Dad laughs so hard that he has to stop running to catch his breath.
Maybe, on Sunday night, we can have a special, family carb-loading Pasta Night at Jill's Restaurant in the St. Julien. The release for Pasta Night says that it "includes a carb-loaded pasta bar, antipasta, a salad station, Italian breads and $5 house wine."
Knowing us, it will be special when we both eat so much pasta that Mom has to roll us out of the St. Julien.
Info: 5:30-10 p.m. Sunday, Jill's Restaurant, St. Julien Hotel, 900 Walnut St. $19.50; runners with a Bolder Boulder bib get 50 percent off. Reservations required: 720-406-7399.
Mamabird flies again
This weekend, the USA Ultimate College Championships return to Boulder. You can watch the competition all weekend on the fields at Pleasant View Sports Complex in North Boulder.
Last year, after a somewhat rainy weekend on the fields of Pleasant View, the University of Colorado-Boulder's top men's Ultimate team, Mamabird, fell to the University of Wisconsin in the semifinals.
I know what you're thinking: Mamabird? Sadly, I'll never know what it means. You only learn the story behind this quirky name if you're on the team that goes to the national championship.
CU is ranked 10th going into the tournament and plays Cornell Friday morning, then Washington on Friday afternoon. The finals are Monday.
Info: Tournament runs Friday through Monday. usaultimate.org
Climbing phenom Chris Sharma is in Boulder this weekend for a couple of events.
Saturday evening, he'll give a talk and slideshow at Movement Climbing and Fitness. Earlier that day, he'll be at an event that isn't open to the public — it's for the kiddos in Boulder's ABC Climbing program.
Aw! Little crushers!
The talk at Movement benefits the Access Fund.
Info: 7 p.m. Saturday at Movement Climbing and Fitness. Advance tickets $10 at Movement or Prana, $15 at the door.

Healthier Southern Fried Green Tomatoes
Is it me or is it Southern in here? Right after BBQ lentils and kale I bring you a healthy (really, really good) rendition of fried green tomatoes. This is an easy recipe with lots of flavor impact, and of course, it's perfect for football season. And I could use easy right about now. Yesterday I spent the day in Baltimore at Natural Products Expo East, picking through the innovative-OMG-products and the seriously-WTF-products. I'll share a recap later and fill you in on big healthy trends I'm seeing.
But first, we eat. Always, right?
Let me start off by saying this recipe was bred out of necessity. Back in the spring (our first spring in the new house), husband and I were feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed about our first garden. We knew we had to start slow since the renovations continue and the back yard was in the midst of a major re-do. But we also knew tomatoes were easy to grow and we can both live off of tomato sandwiches and never be sick of them. So 6 'Celebrity' variety tomato plants went into the ground.... under a black walnut tree....which kills anything planted under it (Seriously, look it up. Juglone is the toxin it releases. Awesome). All summer I've waited for something to grow and a few did but never ripened. And here we are, with a pathetic few, green tomatoes. Lesson learned. Black Walnut trees= death to plants.
Healthier Fried Green Tomatoes
The Basic Ratio...serves as many people as you have tomatoes
- Small, green tomatoes
- Brown rice flour
- Egg
- Breadcrumbs (I use italian)
- Canola oil
- Paprika
Slice tomatoes into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Dip into brown rice flour and toss to cover. Dip in egg wash and then the breadcrumbs. Lay on a Silpat covered baking sheet. When your tomatoes are breaded, drizzle lightly with canola oil. Bake at 350 until golden brown and crisp. This really depends on how thick you ended up slicing and how true your oven is to temp. Shake a dash of paprika over the top and serve.
My favorite part about this recipe is how the inner tomato basically becomes jelly. It's a little tart but works perfectly with a breaded coating. The paprika adds a hint of spice and color. Don't bother dipping them in anything! They're like vegetable Gushers as appetizers.
Dietitian Nutritionist. My husband Chris and I create food and beverage photos, videos, stopmotions and recipes. And they're really cool.

I previously mentioned that Tor Hyams was putting together a new label, Happiness Records, and that his first order of business was putting together a compilation album featuring folks who've played the Kidzapalooza stage. Now, that cover's not the prettiest I've ever seen and, more importantly, I'm not sure what the fate of a compilation album is in the era of the iPod. Having said that, the tracklisting makes for a pretty darn good mix tape...
1. Cool To Be Uncool - The Jimmies
2. Gotta Be Me - Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
3. Cookie As Big As My Head - Lunch Money
4. The Patience Bossa - Deborah Harry/Perry Farrell
5. Nicky Nicky Knock Knock - The Dream Jam Band
6. You Make Me Feel Good - Q Brothers
7. In the Details - Lisa Loeb
8. Back In the Day - Zach Gill
9. Spring Has Sprung - Frances England
10. Skip To My Lou - Candy Band
11. Lucy's Parade - Jambo
12. Fools Will Try - Ralph Covert
I suppose there might be a few people out there who have most of these previously-released songs (and they're all probably reading this website). But as an introduction to where kids music is right now (with the exception of the old Ralph Covert track, which is excellent), it's hard to argue with the selection. Kidzapalooza Vol. 1 is out next week on Happiness Records.

As I've said before, I decided to use a pattern from Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing, the pattern with the delightful name "The Sultry Sheath". Now, I didn't feel that my fabric would work as a sheath dress, and I wasn't sure I'd wear one if I had one, so I decided to make a dirndl-type skirt for it instead.
the first pattern I considered suggested.
The bodice is lined with a powder pink rayon, I bought the fabric online and expected it to look pinker than it does, but I still like it. It's wonderfully soft against the skin too. The skirt is unlined as you can see, and as I didn't want to zigzag the seam allowances on the inside I decided to overcast them by hand. Eventually I'll get a pair of pinking shears, I'm fond of the pinked look, but I want to make sure I get a really good pair. These pinking shears from Merchant & Mills look like a pair my grandmother owns, very promising!
As I didn't have a lot of fabric I decided to go with a fairly narrow hem, it's stitched by hand so as to be invisible from the outside. I hand picked the zipper as well, on Gertie's recommendation, after a careful look at this lovely tutorial by Sewaholic. Unfortunately I forgot to get a close up of that, and now it's too dark to get any good pictures...
What would I do without Gertie? I used her lovely tutorial for how to make a vintage inspired half-slip, and it was so much fun to make! Working with the elastic is pretty tricky as you've got to keep it stretched all the time, but I think I got the hang of it eventually.
I just love this look, now I want to make panties!
Now, I'm a pretty confused person, so obviously something had to go wrong, right? Yeah. I used the measurement I remembered from the skirt, but forgot that it was the length of the skirt before I hemmed it. Darn. I could have unpicked the stitching on the lace and just shortened the slip, but I didn't really feel like it, and I was afraid of breaking the lace. So I decided to make another one! Fortunately I have quite a lot of that pink fabric, and the elastic came in bundles of five metres.
That's better! I used the off white lace I'd originally bought for this project, it doesn't really matter that it isn't the same colour as the elastic.
French seam on the inside. I love how neat French seams are, if I could get away with it I'd use them for everything!
I wanted to get some pictures of me actually wearing the dress, but my boyfriend/official photographer (yeah right) has been away all day, and the place is a mess so mirror pictures didn't really work. I put my camera on a table and snapped a few pictures, this one is a bit odd, but it shows off the dress in a nice way!

- Analysts express concerns over Russian-facilitated proposal to defuse Syrian conflict
- Lebanese media: Hezbollah "interferences" cause top Lebanon judge to resign from assassination tribunal
- U.S. renews criticism of Iran atomic program, blasts "troubling developments"
- Reports swirl that Russia again set to deliver advanced anti-aircraft missiles to Iran
What we're watching today:
- Analysts are expressing a range of concerns regarding a proposed Russian-facilitated plan designed to defuse the crisis surrounding what is widely believed to be the mass use of chemical weapons by Syria's Bashar al-Assad regime, a day after President Barack Obama declared that Washington would carefully examine the plan. Criticism of the proposal, which would see Syria's vast chemical weapons arsenal subjected to international inspections and confiscation, had already begun piling up as the speech approached. Writing in Foreign Policy, Yochi Dreazen emphasized that that the plan would functionally put U.S. boots on the ground in Syria, which was exactly what U.S. policymakers had long sought to avoid. Experts are uncertain whether international inspectors could even find all of Syria's chemical weapons facilities, many of which are movable. It is not clear that inspectors could even be safely inserted into Syria given the current conflict. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Thursday to further discuss the proposal.
- A judge presiding over the trial chamber of four Hezbollah members accused of killing former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has resigned, months before the anticipated January 2014 start date of the trial itself. The members of the Iran-backed terror group are implicated in a 2005 Beirut car bombing that killed 23 people, among them Hariri and former Minister of the Economy Bassel Fleihan. Judge Robert Roth's resignation makes him the latest of several top officials to step down from the international Special Tribunal for Lebanon since its 2009 creation, and Lebanese media reported that his move came as a result of "some interferences in the appeal made by the defense teams of the accused." International efforts to try and convict the suspected assassins have consistently been hampered by Hezbollah, which has been linked to a series of leaks designed to intimidate likely witnesses in any murder trial over Hariri's death. In January a Lebanese newspaper linked the group to the publication of confidential details regarding 17 witnesses thought likely to testify, and in April hackers reportedly posted the names of 200 additional potential witnesses on the compromised server of the pro-Hariri Al-Mustaqbal newspaper. Lebanon expert Tony Badran has emphasized that Hezbollah's repeated moves to undermine Lebanese and international institutions are in tension with claims made by some foreign policy analysts defending the group as a Lebanese organization advancing Lebanese interests.
- The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nation's nuclear watchdog today expressed U.S. concerns over what he described as "troubling developments" in Iran's nuclear program. Joseph Macmanus, Washington's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, called for new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to take steps to ease international concerns surrounding Tehran's program. Macmanus, who was speaking in Vienna at IAEA's Board of Governors meeting, slammed Tehran for refusing to comply with international calls - expressed among others by the U.N. Security Council and the IAEA - to increase transparency around Iran's atomic work. Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) reiterated the bloc's intentions to increase diplomatic pressure on the Islamic republic should Tehran continue to stonewall U.N. nuclear inspectors. Newly inaugurated Iranian President Hassan Rouhani yesterday declared that Iran "will not give up one iota of its absolute rights" on the nuclear issue, a statement in line with declarations made by advisors to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to the effect that Rouhani's government will follow the same strategic line as his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
- Russian media outlets are reporting that the country's president Vladimir Putin has authorized an $800 million sale of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Tehran, potentially setting up a scenario in which Iranian airspace would be denied to Israeli aircraft conducting a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. Analysts fear that the introduction of the missiles will destabilize the region by setting in motion a dynamic that will force the Israelis to act before the S-300 batteries come online. By the end of the day the Putin administration had denied the report, which is in line with leaked cables indicating that Russia has long assured diplomats that Moscow had no intention of actually sending the missiles to Iran. A Xinhua report last month in fact quoted the head of the company producing the missiles as saying that Russia had dismantled and disposed of the S-300s intended for delivery to Iran.

IIT, IISc faculty members call Facebook's Free Basics a 'lethal combination,' highlight major flaws
The statement says that Facebook's Free Basics is a lethal combination that will lead to total lack of freedom on how Indians can use the Internet.
The statement says that Facebook's Free Basics is a lethal combination that will lead to total lack of freedom on how Indians can use the Internet.
Over 50 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) faculty members have released a joint statement highlighting major flaws in Facebook's controversial Free Basics program that offers people without the Internet free access to a handful of websites through mobile phones.
Facebook has unleashed an advertising blitzkreig to garner support for Free Basics as the last date to post comments on a paper floated by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is drawing close.
Opponents to Facebook's move say that Free Basics goes against the principle of net neutrality. Net neutrality implies that equal treatment be accorded to all Internet traffic and no priority be given to an entity or company based on payment to content or service providers such as telecom companies, which is seen as discriminatory.
Many technology experts have spoken out against Free Basics and now a number of IIT and IISc faculty members have issued a joint statement refuting Facebook's claims in support of Free Basics and the social media giant's contentions.
The statement says that Facebook's Free Basics is a lethal combination that will lead to total lack of freedom on how Indians can use their own public utility, the Internet.
Joint statement rejecting Facebook's misleading and flawed 'Free Basics' proposalPosted by Bhaskaran Raman on Monday, December 28, 2015
Full text of the statement follows:
Joint statement rejecting Facebook's misleading and flawed 'Free Basics' proposal
Allowing a private entity
- to define for Indian Internet users what is 'basic',
- to control what content costs how much, and
- to have access to the personal content created and used by millions of Indians
is a lethal combination which will lead to total lack of freedom on how Indians can use their own public utility, the Internet. Facebook's 'free basics' proposal is such a lethal combination, having several deep flaws, beneath the veil of altruism wrapped around it in TV and other media advertisements, as detailed below.
Flaw 1: Facebook defines what is 'basic'.
The first obvious flaw in the proposal is that Facebook assumes control of defining what a 'basic' service is. They have in fact set up an interface for services to 'submit' themselves to Facebook for approval to be a 'basic' service. This means: what are the 'basic' digital services Indians will access using their own air waves will be decided by a private corporation, and that too one based on foreign soil. The sheer absurdity of this is too obvious to point out.
To draw an analogy, suppose a chocolate company wishes to provide 'free basic food' for all Indians, but retains control of what constitutes 'basic' food - this would clearly be absurd. Further, if the same company defines its own brand of 'toffee' as a 'basic' food, it would be doubly absurd and its motives highly questionable. While the Internet is not as essential as food, that the Internet is a public utility touching the lives of rich and poor alike cannot be denied. What Facebook is proposing to do with this public utility is no different from the hypothetical chocolate company. In fact, it has defined itself to be the first 'basic' service, as evident from Reliance's ads on Free Facebook. Now, it will require quite a stretch of imagination to classify Facebook as 'basic'. This is why Facebook's own ad script writers have prompted Mr. Zuckerberg to instead make emotional appeals of education and healthcare for the poor Indian masses; these appeals are misleading, to say the least.
Flaw 2: Facebook will have access to all your apps' contents.
The second major flaw in the model, is that Facebook would be able to decrypt the contents of the 'basic' apps on its servers. This flaw is not visible to the lay person as it's a technical detail, but it has deep and disturbing implications. Since Facebook can access un-encrypted contents of users' 'basic' services, either we get to consider health apps to be not basic, or risk revealing health records of all Indians to Facebook. Either we get to consider our banking apps to be not 'basic', or risk exposing the financial information of all Indians to Facebook. And so on. This is mind boggling even under normal circumstances, and even more so considering the recent internal and international snooping activities by the NSA in the US.
Flaw 3: It's not free.
The third flaw is that the term 'free' in 'free basics' is a marketing gimmick. If you see an ad which says 'buy a bottle of hair oil, get a comb free', you know that the cost of the comb is added somewhere. If something comes for free, its cost has to appear somewhere else. Telecom operators will have to recover the cost of 'free basic' apps from the non-free services (otherwise, why not make everything free?). So effectively, whatever Facebook does not consider 'basic' will cost more.
If Facebook gets to decide what costs how much, in effect Indians will be surrendering their digital freedom, and freedom in the digital economy, to Facebook. So this is not an issue of elite Indians able to pay for the Internet versus poor Indians, as Facebook is trying to portray. It is an issue of whether all Indians want to surrender their digital freedom to Facebook.
That the 'Free Basics' proposal is flawed as above is alarming but not surprising, for it violates one of the core architectural principles of Internet design: net neutrality. Compromising net neutrality, an important design principle of the Internet, would invariably lead to deep consequences on people's freedom to access and use information. We therefore urge that the TRAI should support net neutrality in its strongest form, and thoroughly reject Facebook's 'free basics' proposal.

Cheshire Constabulary is putting the brakes on bicycle theft with a week-long crackdown on opportunistic thieves.
The campaign will run from Monday until Sunday, October 10-16 and will see officers issuing more than 800 free security kits as well as advice and tips on how to ensure bikes are kept safe and secure from thieves.
It is the latest phase of the Constabulary's 'Shield' campaign, which focuses on providing essential crime prevention advice and deterring thieves from committing their crimes across our county.
Officers want cyclists across Cheshire to help prevent bicycle thefts rising as winter begins to approach and the evenings become darker by taking the protective measures offered by police officers in your neighbourhood.
Assistant Chief Constable Sarah Boycott said: "As the dark nights draw in we want to ensure cyclists are extra vigilant and aware of how they can better protect their property and prevent it from being stolen.
"In particular, we would ask people to ensure that their bikes are stored securely with quality bike locks if possible. Make sure you keep your bike in a shed overnight - making sure it's properly locked up – or if you don't have a shed then make sure it's out of sight.
"The bike marking kits are an excellent way to make it difficult for thieves to sell the bikes on, enabling officers to identify the owners of the stolen property so it can be easily returned. Seeing a bike with property marking will make it a less attractive target for thieves.
"I would encourage cyclists and those who may be looking to buy a bike in the run up to Christmas, to speak to officers who will be across the county with lots of helpful advice and tips and get their hands on a security kit."
Police & Crime Commissioner David Keane added: "As I have spoken to residents across Cheshire, crime prevention has been an issue that many people have wanted to discuss. Our police service is clearly there to enforce the law and bring offenders to justice but there is also work to be undertaken in our communities to prevent crime and deter criminals. This is why crime prevention features as one of the main priorities within my draft Police & Crime Plan.
"Initiatives, such as the 'Shield' campaign, have an important part to play in taking these plans and putting them into action across the county. If you own a bike - speak to an officer, get involved and work with our police service to help prevent and deter crime in our communities."
The Shield campaign has previously focused on placing a protective shield around homes and businesses, with thousands of residents issued with SelectaDNA property marking kits residents to protect their homes and belongings.
Further information on how to prevent bicycle theft can be found on the Cheshire Constabulary website.
Anyone reporting a bicycle being stolen can contact Cheshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555111.
If you own a bike - speak to an officer, get involved and work with our police service to help prevent and deter crime in our communities.

Created attachment 407546 [details]
system logs
Description of problem:
Used preugprade from F12 to F13 Branched. After re-booting NFS statd and HAL fail to start. Xorg fails to start. Fully updated from updates-testing, rebooted. statd and HAL still fail to start, but at least Xorg works now. NetworkManager doesn't want to connect to network.
After inspecting logs it seems like SELinux issue. When booted with enforcing=0 kernel option, all services start up fine, everything works.
While updating packages with preupgrade there must have been some problem with SELinux and it is now blocking many services and programs.
All logs attached.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
did preugprade from F12 to F13 twice, happened everytime
Additional info:
This could be the same issue as reported in bug 505772.
Also please note that for verifying this issue the fix must be committed to stable F13 repository, not F13 updates-testing. Because preupgrade does not download packages from updates-testing.
I have no experience with using SELinux, but I can provide more information if you tell me how.
selinux-policy-3.7.19-2.fc13.noarch is already a candidate and fixes most of the avc's reported.
The troublesome ones are the fontconfig.
Will updating to the newer version of selinux automatically fix the problems, or are there some manual steps required afterwards (re-labeling files with correct context and whatnot?).
It should fix most if not all the problems. Relabeling should happen automatically. If you still have problems after update, please open bugs.
I would likt to get 19-2 into the iso so we could test the upgrade path though.
selinux-policy-3.7.19-2.fc13.noarch seems to solve all my problems. We would really prefer if this could get into stable f13 repo before preupgrade test day:
Increase its kama.
Discussed at the blocker review meeting today, we agree this is a blocker and will try to put feedback in Bodhi soon.
Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team
selinux-policy-3.7.19-6.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13.
selinux-policy-3.7.19-6.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
If you want to test the update, you can install it with
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update selinux-policy'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.7.19-6.fc13
I have updated to selinux-policy-3.7.19-6.fc13 and I see this avc denial in /var/log/messages after bootup:
Apr 27 05:08:17 localhost kernel: type=1400 audit(1272359290.665:4): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=420 comm="vbetool" scontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect
There is not denial in /var/log/audit/audit.log though.
It happens before auditd is started, This bug has been reported against vbetool in the past.
Daniel, I can't find you on any IRC channel. Does this mean that selinux-policy-3.7.19-6.fc13 should get -1 karma from me? Do you have bug number for that vbetool bug?
selinux-policy-3.7.19-6.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

New Guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatics...we weigh in
Screenagers' Doctor/Filmmaker POV on AAP's New Screen time Guidelines
By Dr. Delaney Ruston, M.D./Filmmaker, Screenagers
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just changed its recommendation of screen use for children. They now recommend that children younger than 18 months "avoid digital media use (except video-chatting)," but kids 18 months and older can use digital media. They also say that children 2 to 5 years should limit their time to one hour a day and for youth 5 years and older they now don't really have a recommended cap on screen time.
This is a big change from their last set of recommendations back In 2013 that urged parents not to let kids under 2-years old engage with screens at all. Children 2 years and older (all the way up to age 18) were advised to limit exposure to two hours a day.
I am concerned about some of the age guidelines in these newly revised recommendations:
- Reducing recommended age to 18 months is troubling. At a time when kids are developing formative habits and have very little ability to self-regulate, many kids will get conditioned to go to screens for comfort, entertainment and just plain novelty. Also, there is substantial evidence that shows language is learned much better human-to-human than with a computer.
- They've taken away any cap on screen exposure for kids older than five years old. Studies have found a strong correlation between increased screen time and decreased attention span and for pediatricians to not have clear recommendations for limited screen time seems irresponsible
- The recommendation that 18-month to 2-year-old toddlers should engage with screens only with an adult to co-view with them seems impractical . This is a tall order. Most kids' screen time at that age happens when parents hand them a tablet or a phone so they can take a break
One of the lead authors of the revised AAP recommendations told me the that they changed their guidelines because they felt it was unrealistic for parents to keep their young children off of screens altogether. However, in my opinion, the new recommendations give too much leeway.
Although I don't agree with some of the age recommendations and lack of direction around time for 5-year-olds and up, I do think it is a great step forward that pediatricians are now recognizing that setting limits and guidelines around screen use with our children is essential.
I am happy that the guidelines specifically encourage families to regularly talk to their kids about the many issues around screen time. This recommendation is woven throughout our film, Screenagers. To further the film we have started an initiative called Tech Talk Tuesday (TTT) and in just a few months hundreds of people have pledged. The goal of TTT is to inspire families to have weekly short, calm conversations to help kids gain tech balance through insights and good parenting. We send out weekly topics to promote ongoing discussions. My recommendations can be summed up in 3 simple T's as well:
- Talk to your kids. Do this calmly, at least weekly, and invite insights from the kids.
- Time off of screens. Ensure that kids have many offline activities set up in their life so they are getting exercise, face-to-face time, and more.
- Tech free zones and tech-free times. Make a family agreement by which, working together, you create times that tech should be put away and find places in your life that are not about tech. Cars, bedrooms and dinner tables are great spots for tech-free zones.

This month the Tackle World Challenge is to catch a fish on a Koolabung Soft Vibe.
Simply email your photos to firstname.lastname@example.com to be in the running for the $250 Tackle World Tackle Pack.
Keep praying for the rain to arrive – we need it. The Barras won't fire unless we do; the rain will get the fish on the move and rejuvenate the estuary systems with a good wash out, what they all need. So without the rain, the weirs haven't consistently flowed over, so the land based fisherman haven't had too much to cheer about unfortunately, and because of the high winds the beaches haven't been the place to be of late either, so heading up into the sweet water reaches of the rivers has proven a little more eventful, with plenty of sooty grunters getting caught. Any lure placed in the right area will get a sooty's attention. Anything smaller enough to fit in their mouth, they'll try and eat, a great little sport fish.
Don't be too deterred from getting the tinny out on the water, there has still been the odd nice king salmon (threadfin) getting around, along with some quality grunter and jacks. Putting the extra effort into catching some live bait would be well worth it, especially this time of year, with plenty of large prawns and mullets getting around, the best castnet for catching prawns is a top pocket net with a large spread. Live bait is definitely the best option for barras when they're a little bit quieter. Don't forget to take the crab pots as well, the crabs are starting to move and are nice and full, if they manage to find their way into the pots. Using nice big baits and placing the pots at the mouths of the gutters and drains is the best bet.
Once again the forecast for this weekend is a wet and windy one. Sunday looks to be the least wet, bonus would be if we do get as much rain as they are predicting for Friday/Saturday then the crabs will definitely be on the move. Hopefully this will also fire the barras up, but stick to live bait for your best opportunity to land a nice Barra.
INFO BOARD - Checkout our website for many of the local anglers taking up the "Tackle World Challenge". So get involved I dare you!
Koolabung Vibe Promotion.
For the remainder of January and the month of February we are running a promotional price on the Koolabung Reef Ripper (60g) and Barra Bouncer (40g) Vibes of $14.99 (usually $19.99). Get in store and purchase these great soft vibes, one of the heavier vibes on the market, and when you catch a fish with one, take a good picture of you the fish and the lure, and send it in to us with some details to go into the draw to win a Koolabung lure pack, drawn after the 28th February 2015.
Have a great weekend

Are you currently acting as a supervisor for the
purposes of immigration advice and services, or thinking about
doing so? If so, we have recently issued new guidance to help
While it was previously prohibited, since the
introduction of the new Handbook in January 2014, barristers have
been permitted to act as supervisors for immigration advisers.
The new guidance sets out what we expect from
barristers acting in this capacity, and covers a barrister's
obligations to the lay client and under the Handbook when acting as
a supervisor.
The new guidance can be found on our website.
latest version of the BSB Handbook is published on our website.
We update this from time to time so if you have added the link as a
favourite or republished it elsewhere, please link to the Handbook
landing page as above rather than
the pdf attachment to ensure that you are always referencing
the most current version.

This client makes fishing baits. Specifically for catching Muskie. He came to me knowing pretty much what he wanted. The initial idea he presented to me was to have the stripes of the fish spell out the name.
Now, I knew that the client's idea would be to hard to read. So after doing a few sketches, I simplified the concept a bit. I streamlined the silhouette of a Tiger Muskie. After getting an appropriately fast looking fish, I then used the name to create both the silhouette of a Muskie and to represent the stripes of the fish.
I delivered both the gradated version above that mimics the coloring of the fish and the solid version seen below. This logo was hand-drawn and then recreated in Adobe Illustrator.

So since I'm on the topic of vaginas.....
I've been meaning for a while to tell you about the Diva cup. I LOVE this little device. It's like the difference in wearing glasses or contacts- but for your period. It's totally changed the monthly period experience for me. I don't plan on ever going back to pads or tampons!
So what is it? The Diva cup is a flexible silicone cup that is inserted in the vagina to collect the menstrual blood. It can be left in for up to 12 hours, and can be sanitized and reused over and over. No need to keep on buying boxes and boxes of tampons! No yucky trash in your bathrooms wastebasket! No waste polluting the landfills! It costs about $30, but if you've been buying disposable products, it'll pay for itself after just a couple of cycles.
First time you've heard of the Diva cup? I know what you're thinking. Your brain's probably twitching a little bit. I remember the first time I heard about it- I think I was around 14. It was a pretty awkward time for me, and to say I was uncomfortable with my body would be a huge understatement. It was a pretty brave step for me to ask one of my mom's friends if she used pads or tampons- I thought it would be a "woman to woman" bonding moment. When she said "neither", I was totally confused. What else WAS there? I had no idea there were alternatives to pads or tampons. When she said she used a cup, I had no idea what she was talking about- and I didn't want to know!!! I'm pretty sure I tried to block that memory from my brain for several years. Thankfully I didn't, because now that I've become comfortable with my body (and all things natural living), I absolutely love using a cup!
You definitely do have to be comfortable with your body to use the Diva cup. You'll need to get familiar with how everything works up there. If you haven't become familiar with that part of your body before, I really encourage you to. It's really empowering. Why should there be a part of your body that's unknown to you? It's not weird, emberassing, gross, or awkward- it's just a part of your body! Take a little time and get to know yourself- if you're anything like me you'll be glad you did.
There is a bit of a learning curve when you first start learning to use the cup. Some people have a really hard time with it, but I actually found it pretty easy. There are lots of websites out there that will teach you different folding and insertion methods, and you can try different ones until you find out what works best for you. I honestly didn't have any trouble with it! I can insert it easily on the first try, and it's very comfortable. I've also never had a leak. The great thing is that most of the time I'm able to almost forget that I'm even on my period. You only have to change it every 12 hours(unless you have a really heavy flow), so just twice a day. Amazing!
As if I didn't already love my Diva cup enough, today I came across something that made me more thankful than ever that I've made the switch. Have you heard about the moldy tampon yet??? SO gross!!! I wonder how many women have inserted moldy tampons without even knowing it?!?! I wonder if moldy tampons have contributed to toxic shock syndrome??? I know one thing for sure- I don't ever, ever, ever want to stick something moldy inside of my VAGINA for goodness sake. I think I'm going to be a Diva cup user for life!!!

Are you a travel-aholic TOO? Then you're in the right place!
I've traveled all around the world—from farms in India to Tokyo towers to Czech villages—and they all have one thing in common: English!
I believe travel is the most important thing humans can do to understand each other. But without the same language, we are lost.
A little about me: I'm originally from the sunny beaches of California. I've lived in the United States, Japan, Germany, Italy and now I feel so lucky to call Prague, Czechia my home. I've spent the last several years teaching English to students from all over the world in person and online.
Scariest travel moment:
I met a large shark while swimming in the East China Sea.
Freshest food ever eaten:
I ate a live shrimp at the Tokyo Fish Market.
Most Beautiful view ever seen:
The view of Prague castle at sunset.
Are you ready to travel?
LET ME help you
communicate with the world.

I opened up a Hobby Box of 2013 Topps Series 1. I guess I will let the pictures and statistics do most of the talking.
Base Cards - 301/330 - 91.21%
Doubles - 1 - Travis Ishikawa
Total Base Cards - 302
The box had one extra card in it, and I think that second Ishikawa card was the culprit. When I opened the pack containing it I thought maybe it contained a big hit because I noticed that the Ishikawa card was facing in the wrong direction when I opened the pack, based on cards in that same spot in other packs. Turns out it was just an extra card in the pack.
Emerald Parallels - 7 - Dee Gordon, Anthony Rizzo, Ryan Cook, Buster Posey, Ben Zobrist, Mike Minor, Jayson Werth
Nothing too exciting here. I like the Rizzo card. That Ben Zobrist picture makes me laugh every time I see it. I hope he's not in the midst of being injured or something. It would be bad if I were laughing at a picture of someone about to go on the DL. But why would Topps use such a picture on a card?
Gold Parallels - 4 - Mark Reynolds, L.J. Hoes, Starling Marte, Cabrera/Trout/Beltre AL BA Leaders
The Mark Reynolds and Starling Marte cards are my favorites here.
1972 Topps Minis - 9 - Mike Trout, Ian Kennedy, Joey Votto, Andre Ethier, Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Reyes, Evan Longoria, Adrian Beltre, Lou Gehrig
The Minis are pretty cool, but I am working on too many sets to feel much like chasing them all down. It bothers me that I can't stack them with the rest of the cards from the set because they make the piles unstable. You have to have separate stacks for minis.
I already had the R.A. Dickey card, and none of the other ones really do anything for me. The little phrases (the Calling Cards) attached to the players are kind of weird to me.
Chasing the Dream - 6 - Bryce Harper, Anthony Rizzo, Jesus Montero, Josh Reddick, Drew Pomeranz, Tommy Milone
It's pretty cool to get Harper, Rizzo, and Reddick in this box. The big logos in the background look pretty good. This insert reminds me of the 90s for some reason. There do seem to be an awful lot of inserts in this set. Do people break enough of this stuff to actually put all of the inserts together? You get 90% of the base set in one box, and there don't seem to be enough big hits to warrant busting case after case of it.
I have to admit that I kind of like these cards. They are a little sparkly, thicker than a regular card, and die-cut all the way around. I can't say I really like the group of players I pulled from this box, though. I think the Babe Ruth must have been double-printed or something because I keep pulling it.
The Greats - 2- Ted Williams, John Smoltz
These cards replace several cards in the packs they appear in. I guess they are all right, but they don't do much for me, especially since they displace so many base cards.
Chasing History - 9 - Carlos Santana, Rickey Henderson, Lou Brock, Lance Berkman, Adam Dunn, Hank Aaron, Mark Buehrle, Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax
This insert set is another big space-filler that allows Topps to put some kind of insert into most packs. I do wish they would have made these all horizontal or all vertical instead of a mix of the two. The design is attractive enough with decent color coordination based on a player's team. Some of the 'history' being chased is a bit dubious, but it does allow lesser-known players to be included in the set based on their one or two signature career moments.
Chasing History Autograph - 1 - Gary Sheffield
Here is the promised hit from the box, a Gary Sheffield Chasing History autograph. I guess it's all right. I didn't expect anything super-crazy to come out of this box. I don't know much about Sheffield, but I think I vaguely remember seeing him on some of the cards of my youth.
The Million Dollar Chase Code Cards - 6
Total Cards - 353
Missing Cards - 117, 163
I don't have any real complaints about this box. I got most of the base cards I was looking for and a few things to add to various player collections. A Hobby box will get you just over 90% of a base set, with good collation meaning you don't waste a lot of box space on doubles. I don't have much opinion either way on the insert sets. I would have liked to pull one of the low-numbered parallels, like Pink or Camo, but those aren't a guarantee. I am still missing two cards from the set, so I will have to track those down at some point.

In physiology, a refractory period is a period of time during which an organ or cell is incapable of repeating a particular action, or (more precisely) the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus once it returns to its resting state following an excitation. It most commonly refers to electrically excitable muscle cells or neurons.
After initiation of an action potential, the refractory period is defined two ways:
The absolute refractory period coincides with nearly the entire duration of the action potential. In neurons, it is caused by the inactivation of the Na+ channels that originally opened to depolarize the membrane. These channels remain inactivated until the membrane repolarizes, after which they close, reactivate and regain their ability to open in response to stimulus.
The relative refractory period immediately follows the absolute. As voltage-gated potassium channels open to terminate the action potential by repolarizing the membrane, the potassium conductance of the membrane increases dramatically. K+ ions flooding out of the cell bring the membrane potential closer to the equilibrium potential for potassium. This causes brief hyperpolarization of the membrane, that is, the membrane potential becomes transiently more negative than the normal resting potential. Until the potassium conductance returns to the resting value, a greater stimulus will be required to reach the initiation threshold for a second depolarization. The return to the equilibrium resting potential marks the end of the relative refractory period.
The refractory period in cardiac physiology is related to the ion currents which, in cardiac cells as in nerve cells, flow into and out of the cell freely. The flow of ions translates into a change in the voltage of the inside of the cell relative to the extracellular space. As in nerve cells, this characteristic change in voltage is referred to as an action potential. Unlike nerve cells, the cardiac action potential duration is closer to 100 ms (with variations depending on cell type, autonomic tone, etc.). After an action potential initiates, the cardiac cell is unable to initiate another action potential for some duration of time (which is slightly shorter than the "true" action potential duration). This period of time is referred to as the refractory period.
Classically, the cardiac refractory period is separated into an absolute refractory period and a relative refractory period. During the absolute refractory period, a new action potential cannot be elicited. During the relative refractory period, a new action potential can be elicited under the correct circumstances.
The refractory period in a neuron occurs after an action potential and generally lasts one millisecond. An action potential consists of three phases. Phase one is depolarization. During depolarization, voltage-gated sodium ion channels open increasing the neuron's membrane conductance for sodium ions and depolarizing the cell's membrane potential (from typ. -70mV towards a positive potential). In other words, the membrane is made less negative. After the potential reaches the activation threshold (-35mV) the depolarisation is actively driven by the neuron and overshoots the equilibrium potential of an activated membrane (+40mV). Phase two is repolarization. During repolarization, voltage-gated sodium ion channels inactivate (different than the close state) due to the now depolarized membrane, and voltage-gated potassium channels activate (open). Both the sodium ion channels closing and the potassium ion channels opening act to repolarize the cell's membrane potential back to its resting membrane potential. When the cell's membrane voltage overshoots its resting membrane potential (near -60mV), the cell enters a phase of hyperpolarization. This is due to a larger than resting potassium conductance across the cell membrane. Eventually this potassium conductance drops and the cell returns to its resting membrane potential.
The refractory periods are due to the inactivation property of voltage-gated sodium channel and the lag of potassium channels in closing. Voltage-gated sodium channels have two gating mechanisms, opens the channel with depolarization and the inactivation mechanism that closes the channel with repolarization. While the channel is in the inactive state it will not open in response to depolarization. The period when the majority of sodium channels remain in the inactive state is the absolute refractory period. After this period there are enough voltage-activated sodium channels in the closed (active) state to respond to depolarization. However, voltage gated potassium channels that opened in response to depolarization don't close as quickly as voltage gated sodium channels return to the active closed state. During this time the extra potassium conductance means that the membrane is at a higher threshold and will require a greater stimulus to cause action potentials to fire. This period is the relative refractory period.

There's this tiny jolt that courses through me when I get a new blog comment or see the number "15" in that little, red Facebook box. Every time Twitter tells me I have a new follower, I feel it, too. It's almost like those tools are saying, "Hey, Andi. You have a new friend."
As much as I love social media (and I really do love it), as much as it has helped me make true, genuine friends, every new follower, every new "friend," every commenter is not my friend. I have to work hard to remember that because if I don't, I can easily begin to believe that I owe my best time and energy to social media, to my platform because that's where my friends are.
The truth is, though, that I only have a few great friends in the world, a few people who carry part of my heart around with them, and I have to focus on those relationships to sustain them. I can't give my heart to 3000 people. I won't survive.
Similarly, I owe my best energy to creating amazing work that speaks the truth as I see it, not to building the platform that I will set that work on. It is the work that feeds me; talking about it does not.
Social media has amazing benefits, and as a writer, it's a necessity, especially in the eyes of publishers. Plus, I really have met people who I truly love and trust through this medium. I'm a fan of all these tools, even StumbleUpon, the forgotten social media baby.
For this reason and because – if I'm honest – writing can be quite lonely at times, I have to fight really hard not to put social media ahead of my writing. I have to remember that I can tweet a million times and get 25,000 followers, but if I don't have anything worthwhile to say, I'm not only wasting my own time but the time of those 25,000 people who follow me. Having a platform is a big responsibility.
To me, a platform is hollow and fragile if I'm not writing well, if I'm not putting my best work into the pages of my book. If I'm giving that time in the glen to Facebook, then I'm not honoring what it is I am truly called to do, and my failure to do that leaves me aching. If I'm not careful, not only will my work suffer, but my platform will collapse and crush my spirit, like a deck built without the right foundation and support.
I'm not very good at this, at turning off the tabs on my browser and focusing on my work, but I'm going to get better because I am not called to tweet. I am called to write.
How do you find that balance between your social media platform and your real work? Any suggestions on how I can be better?

Radio: Racial discrimination versus gushing tributes to Nelson Mandela
On Newtalk, George Hook tackles a black-and-white issue while Ivan Yates airs some shibboleths of his own

The world may have said goodbye to a courageous fighter for equality and respect, but there remain some hardy souls fired by a similar fearlessness. True, George Hook is not everyone's idea of Ireland's Nelson Mandela, but he is, if nothing else, unafraid of speaking his mind, no matter what sensitivities are involved. On Wednesday's edition of The Right Hook (Newstalk, weekdays), to take one example, the presenter punctuated a discussion of racial discrimination in Ireland with the recollection that on the few occasions he encountered "black faces" as a young man he "looked at them like alien beings". And so the legacy of Madiba lives on.
Hook's candid remark came during a bracing but worthwhile conversation with the former government adviser Gerard Howlin about how gushing Irish tributes to Mandela contrasted unfavourably with the treatment of many immigrants here, what Hook's guest called "the patina of delusion about the effective apartheid in our society".
By way of explanation if not mitigation, the presenter ventured that few other modern countries had experienced the change in racial demographics that Ireland had, while admitting that this was "a top of the head comment".
He then showed off the depth of his research by asking a question taken from a listener's text, namely that no British-style debate was taking place in Ireland about immigration policies, an assertion that Hook said was "absolutely right". Howlin answered that although it was legitimate to ask if such policies were working, it was wrong and even dangerous to conflate this with the abuse of people who are already here: "Let us not confuse the two issues." It was a quiet but categorical response to those who might muddy the waters of debate about immigration.
To be fair to Hook, for all that he wades into delicate subjects with the subtlety of a beefy rugby player diving into a ruck, he does cede his ground when countered with cogent arguments. He spoke to the journalist Deirdre O'Shaughnessy about the widening income gap between men and women, introducing his guest with typical blunderbuss wit: "So, according to you, it's getting worse for men." (Say what you like, Hook is unencumbered by white male guilt.) But when O'Shaughnessy suggested that one possible way to rebalance gender inequality in the workplace was for fathers to have the same parental-leave entitlement as mothers, Hook sounded as if he had stumbled across some sobering nugget of wisdom. "I hadn't thought of that," he mused. "I'd buy that."
Hook is, one suspects, more thoughtful than his perennially ornery disposition suggests. On Tuesday, when discussing how sport boycotts had helped to isolate apartheid-era South Africa, the presenter noted that touring rugby teams had often provided succour for the racist state, from the All Blacks who left out Maori players to the Irish squad that visited in the early 1980s. He concluded that his beloved game had been the worst offender at breaking the boycott. Whatever else, Hook was prepared to face up to inconvenient truths.
Ivan Yates, one of the presenters of Breakfast (Newstalk, weekdays), had shibboleths of his own in the crosshairs this week, as he tackled the supposedly work-shy culture of the Civil Service. In the light of a Government report that said a performance- review system for State workers gave a false picture, with less than 1 per cent of employees deemed in need of improvement, Yates spoke to a Civil Service manager who said she had been told by her personnel department to change an unfavourable grade for one of her staff or face questions from higher management and unions.
It was a jolting interview: with increments dependent on acceptable grades, managers were clearly reluctant to mark down underperforming colleagues.
But the discussion that followed, between Yates and the management consultant Eddie Molloy, was not as enlightening. Molloy made some interesting points about lack of accountability at the top – senior civil servants could hide behind Ministers and vice versa – and suggested the system offered little incentive to work hard. But the chiming world views of Yates and his guest became somewhat hectoring. Harking back to his time as a minister, Yates dismissively recalled those civil servants near retirement who "leaned on the shovel". More power was needed to sack incompetent workers, Molloy said, as he focused on teachers in particular. Both men agreed that the pressures of the private sector encouraged people to work harder.
All of which may be true, but there was no brooking the possibility that private-sector performance reviews could be also affected, this time negatively, by personal factors. And there was no dissent from the implicit assumption that the constant demand in the private sector to prove one's worth was inherently positive: the workplace need not be a pit of social Darwinism any more than it should be a holiday camp.
It took a texting listener to point out that supposedly dispassionate private-company reviews that find fault with workers can have the side effect of denying bonuses or raises.
All in all it was a missed opportunity to analyse a subject that clearly requires serious attention. Yates is not a two-dimensional right-wing caricature, as was highlighted by his swipe at the anonymity of ESB management during the recent strike threat. But he needs to do more than loudly voice his opinions. Having the courage of your convictions is one thing, allowing them to be challenged is another.
Moment of the week: Anchor misses a beat
Sticking with Newstalk's Breakfast show, co-anchor Chris Donoghue committed an unfortunate sin of omission on Monday, leaving out a crucial noun when he spoke about the memorial for the "former South African Nelson Mandela". Though, in fairness, it was still an accurate statement.

Episode 4
Tatanka Oyate
In episode four, we meet Robbie Magnan of the Fort Peck Tribes. He believes his community can prosper in the future by reconnecting with their roots as the Tatanka Oyate, the buffalo people. Magnan has built a quarantine facility that could be an alternative to the Yellowstone bison slaughter, but right now it sits empty while more than a thousand bison are being culled from the herd. Why? We'll learn more about Magnan's vision for bison restoration, and investigate why some people are opposed.

Japanese Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda hailed Saturday an agreement by the Group of 20 leading economies on global economic imbalances, saying a broad accord was reached.
Referring to an envisioned schedule of drawing up a mutual assessment plan to reduce economic imbalances through November, when the G-20 leaders gather for the summit in France, Noda told a news conference after the two-day ministerial meeting in Paris, "As a start toward November, we had good discussions."
He declined to unveil the detail negotiation process on the matter, saying the agreed set of tools is in line with what Tokyo wanted.
Noda also indirectly urged China and other emerging economies to keep working together on forming the mechanism to tackle economic imbalances.
Read the rest of the story: Japan happy with G-20 deal on global economic imbalances.
