Fungi Perfecti Host Defense Cordyceps Energy Support is made with U.S. grown organic mushrooms. Himalayan mountain peoples have traditionally used Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) to enhance their performance during strenuous, high altitude activities. Recently, physical fitness enthusiasts and professional athletes have discovered that Cordyceps may have the cardio-enhancing effects of increased oxygen uptake, supporting higher endurance levels. People have also found that Fungi Perfecti Host Defense Cordyceps supports healthy sexual functioning.* Each capsule of Fungi Perfecti Host Defense Cordyceps contains 500mg of freeze-dried Cordyceps mycelium. Fungi Perfecti Host Defense Cordyceps is available in bottles of 60 and 120 capsules. Fungi Perfecti (fun ji' per fect' i) The unofficial name for the Subdivision hosting what we call mushrooms. Mushrooms are fleshy fungi that reproduce through the sexual matings of germinated spores. Fungi Perfecti® is a family-owned, environmentally friendly company specializing in using gourmet and medicinal mushrooms to improve the health of the planet and its people. Founded by mycologist and author Paul Stamets, Fungi Perfecti are leaders in a new wave of technologies harnessing the inherent power of mushrooms and fungal mycelium worldwide. Fungi Perfecti® is Certified Organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. In business since 1980, Fungi Perfecti offers an ever-expanding product line for the mushroom enthusiast. Only recently has the cultivation of exotic mushrooms become a practical endeavor. Cultivating mushrooms is not necessarily difficult: it requires only a willingness to learn, a little work, and adherence to some well defined guidelines. Mushrooms can be grown throughout the year indoors or during a few months outdoors. One of the most exciting innovations in mushroom culture is a concept Fungi Perfecti has been instrumental in promoting: Mycological Landscaping. Mycological landscaping involves the cultivation of exotic mushrooms as beneficial companions to plants in gardens, lawns, or within woodlands. Fungi Perfecti has been actively searching the wild for candidates having strong potential for culinary value. Each year Fungi Perfecti clones dozens of species having gourmet appeal and test them at our research facility—indoors and outdoors. Imagine having a selection of choice exotic mushroom patches, protected in the privacy of your backyard, to be enjoyed through the seasons and perhaps through generations! For everyone seriously contemplating mushroom cultivation as a business, Fungi Perfecti urges you to learn the sterile culture skills necessary for spawn production. You will be glad you did. Central texts in helping the aspiring spawn maker to achieve these skills are Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms and The Mushroom Cultivator, treatises Fungi Perfecti highly recommends. Fungi Perfecti keenly senses that fungi will play a pivotal role in new industries of the 21st Century. Gourmet and medicinal mushrooms will continue to appeal to organic gardeners, commercial cultivators, researchers, nutritionists, and ecological managers. Indeed, Fungi Perfecti forsees a quantum leap in their popularity when the public realizes that these fungi: support the immune system, helping the human body resist and fight viral diseases and cancers lower cholesterol levels represent a pesticide-free alternative to the traditional white button mushroom are instrumental in the recycling of wood and agricultural by-products can easily be grown by everyone—outdoors in your garden or yard (mycological landscaping)—or indoors within greenhouses, solaria, or controlled environments. Through Fungi Perfecti's in-depth classes and information networks, they encourage the establishment of a constellation of independent, organically minded growers whose collective consciousness will define this emerging industry well into the next century. Fungi Perfecti hopes you will join them in this endeavor. The future is ours.

How to Select
How to select Ceiling Fan Controls
If you don't have an air-conditioner installed in a room and are aiming for a more affordable and nature-friendly cooling option, a ceiling fan is a cost-efficient device that can help you survive those hot summer days and nights. No matter how powerful and efficient your fan is, if you can't control its speed or operation modes, you will spend as much energy and money as you would with an air-conditioner. This article will help you select the ceiling fan control that will suit your device the most.
First of all, you need to know the different types of controls that exist today and their main differences. The oldest and least comfortable ceiling fan control is a chain that hangs from the device. To turn your fan on or off you need to come in direct contact with the fan. This type of ceiling fan control is only convenient when the device is installed above your head, which is a rarity.
Another ceiling fan control is a wall mounted type. This control is way more convenient and efficient. In addition to switching the fan ON and OFF, it allows programming the device's operation, speed level and even provides an automatic shutdown if needed. Wall mounted ceiling fan controls are a bit more complicated to install and have a higher price but any family with average budget can afford them.
The last and the more advanced control type is a hand-held remote. Such type significantly increases the level of comfort and enjoyment of your fan. In addition to all of the features that a wall mounted control offers, a remote gives you the possibility to control the fan from any location of your house. You don't have to leave the room to set a faster speed or turn the fan off; it can be done with a push of a button. Moreover, remote control provides you with additional modes of operation to select from. For example, you can select a mode for a warm day and a different mode for an extremely hot day without the need of setting the speed manually. As you may have guessed, remote ceiling fan controls are the most expensive among all other types but they worth every cent.
When you have selected a type of the fan control you want, it is time to ensure it is compatible with your ceiling fan. Pay attention to all of the necessary wires or transmitters that are required during installation. If you have no idea what to do with the wires, simply ask a professional to install the controls for you. That way you'll be sure your fan will provide safe and efficient operation.

In doing some research for today's column I find there are more than 7,000 varieties of apples.
That's an incredible number especially when you think that our local supermarkets only carry about a dozen. But a dozen seems to be enough to satisfy our needs for eating apples raw or cooking them in the hundreds of dishes that are blessed with their presence.
Apples are a wonderful snack for eating raw. Be sure to rinse them well to remove any dirt, dust or residual pesticides that may be on the skin. When choosing apples, as with so many other fresh foods, avoid those that appear to have bruises or blemishes on the surface. Most commercial apples have a waxy coating to make them shine, which is not natural to an apple. You may store apples in a ventilated plastic bag in your refrigerator for up to a week.
I'm sure most of us have been in the produce aisle and chosen what we thought was a bright, rich, tasty looking apple, only to find it to be mealy and tasteless. Do not despair, those apples are few and far between, but do be vigilant for their presence.
Many families make an annual pilgrimage to one of the local apple orchards. The owners of these orchards do their best to make their customers welcome and add a variety of other interests to draw in business. Besides apples, most orchards are now selling pumpkins and having all kinds of fall/Halloween events.
Today's recipe is Apple Crisp. This is one of those universally loved dishes that go back through the generations in the United States. Soft, sweet, rich buttery apples with a topping of brown sugar, oats and flour baked to a crunchy delicacy. I made this recipe over the weekend and the warm sweet aroma that filled the house still seemed to be present the following day.
This recipe makes a full 9 x 13 baking pan. That's a lot of Apple Crisp. So you may want to think about dividing it up into three or four portions. You can then bake it three quarters of the way done, take it out of the oven and let it cool on the counter. When room temperature refrigerate, covered, overnight and then place in the freezer. To finish baking allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and then finish baking according to directions. About 20 at 25 minutes at 375.
Apple Crisp
Serves 8 to 10
1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup Brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, about room temperature
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
4 to 5 lbs granny smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbl fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbl all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 375, butter the inside of a 9 x 13 baking dish
To make topping:
In a stand mixer combine oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, mix a little and add butter, mixing until large coarse crumbles are formed. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in the walnuts. Set aside.
For filling:
Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a small bowl, pour on top of sliced apples along with the lemon juice and toss until thoroughly coated. Spread apple mixture into prepared 9 x 13 baking dish and gently sprinkle on the oat topping. Bake until topping is crispy and brown, about 15 minutes.
Serve warm Apple Crisp with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

On Saturday, Aug. 24, motorcycle riders rolled through Central Utah for the Third Annual Deer Creek Coal Miners Poker Run, a benefit run for a member of the Castle Country community facing serious medical challenges. The miners and fellow supporters decided this year that they were riding for Steve Thornton of Orangeville, who co-founded the event with Wade Hansen in 2011 and who was recently diagnosed with a rare and advanced cancer.
The event began in September 2011 as a benefit ride for Kaylee Edgehouse Van Wagoner, the daughter of Joe and Kim Edgehouse, whose body rejected a kidney and later had to be put on expensive long-term dialysis. The second run benefited Jacee Day, who has been living with a rare and incurable autoimmune disorder called Wegener's Granulomatosis, a chronic systemic vasculitis affecting small and medium-sized blood vessels.
Steve Thornton's story began with chest pain and a suspicion of a heart attack on May 6. He and Debbie, his wife, called the ambulance. The crew headed for the emergency room at Castleview Hospital. Through the tenacity of Dr. Glori M. Allen, they discovered a serious problem with Steve's liver. A CT scan showed innumerable spots.
Over the next several days, the doctors learned through a biopsy and a later PET scan that Steve had a rare type of cancer: a neuroendocrine carcinoma. It is a cancer that invades cells that produce hormones.
The cancer started in Steve's cecum, which is located at the beginning of the large intestine. It was initially slow growing, but eventually switched to a fast-growing form that metastasized, spreading into his liver. His symptoms from the now stage IV cancer rapidly advanced. In only a few weeks, with a buildup of toxins in his blood due to impaired liver function, Steve's skin and eyes turned yellow from jaundice. He had difficulty moving and suffered from extreme fatigue. His condition was alarming to every doctor he visited.
The doctors put Steve on a regimen of strong chemotherapy once every three weeks. He also has to take regular shots to regulate some of the hormones that are erratically produced in his body. His situation has improved with each of the four treatments he has undergone, and as the toxin levels come down the doctors anticipate that he might be able to start a new type of chemo, which is processed in the liver, that will attack the original tumor.
The chemo has the cancer on the run, and the miners dedicated this year's ride to Steve to help continue his strides forward. The doctors do not yet know how many more chemo treatments will be required, but it appears that treatments will be a part of Steve's life for now. The doctors will continue to monitor his blood work and scans to adjust the treatments. For now, he experiences two weeks of fatigue and chemo-related problems after each treatment, followed generally by one week of feeling great.
Steve and his family wanted to convey how much they appreciate the love and outreach. They are humbled by the showing of support from their friends and everyone in the community, especially to all the riders who rolled through Emery County last weekend.
The riders gathered at the Energy West Mining building and were given their first card to build their poker hand. Debbie said she received her five year's free of cancer at her check-up in May and Steve was diagnosed in June. She is grateful for the support they've received. Steve said, "This is a humbling experience. It's been a hard lesson letting others support you. Thanks for the support you've given me during this time. It's been a gift to get to here. We've had help from people daily. I'm still alive."
Steve and Debbie Thornton led the motorcycles as they gathered together on Huntington Main Street. From there they went to Gilly's in Ferron to pick another card. The next stop was the Ghost Rocks view area. Ray's Tavern in Green River was the lunch stop and then the riders continued onto Price where the ride concluded at the Wave Pool park. Riders also bought raffle tickets for a gun and other prizes.
The raffle will be held on Sept. 30. You can buy tickets at the Energy West office on Main Street in Huntington and at the Hair Clinic in Castle Dale. Everyone is encouraged to buy some tickets to help support this Emery County Veteran in his time of need. Steve is an Iraq war veteran and is the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Utah State Representative.
Steve was able to complete the Poker Run as he had the strength to ride from Huntington around the loop and back to Price.

"I was looking for more of a traditional riding boot without a heel, but fell in love with these boots online. Then they arrived and I loved them even more. I haven't gotten to wear them out of the house, but they are very comfortable as I wear them around the house for a few hours. The sole is slick and not rubber which is a little bit of a downer, but that's about all I can say that is negative. I really like that the buckles can actually be adjusted. I have really skinny calves and cinching in the calf buckle helped it to look just that little bit more polished."

"These boots are so cute! Very comfy too! And true to size. The only downside is that the top of the zipper sort of jingles while you walk. A little annoying, but I think I can learn to tune it out."

Great boot!
"I was looking for something that could be used casually or for more formal occasions and this was it! Fit was great. Took a few times before they wore in a bit but overall great shoe. I would recommend this to anyone. Only don't wear them during wet weather-I ruined part of the suede due to the slush/rock salt but it's hardly noticeable."

Last week when I moved into my new office, I fell in love. For so long I have had my "office" in one end of our master suite (it's one of those long rooms that spans practically the whole back end of the house – but still, it was in viewing distance of my bed) so it has felt wonderful to have my own "space" to work. Before we made this move I had been lobbying to convert our two car garage into one large office. With Mike being in the automotive business and me being someone with a lot of "stuff" in the garage, I thought it would be perfect to clean it out, spruce it up, and put both of our offices in there. Mike did not agree.
My idea seems perfect – to remove our residential garage door and put in a solid wall where it was. We could put windows and such in the wall to give some lighting, since there are no other windows, and even put a Bay Window in for a nice place to sit. Or we could even remove the door, fill the wall half way, and put a smaller commercial garage door in so he could still accept the larger deliveries without having to drag them through the house. I could still have my window, and he would still have his home garage door. Seems perfect right?
Mike thinks that it will take away the resale value of the home to convert the garage. He thinks that having a 2 car garage is a better selling feature than having the three bedrooms plus an enormous (and beautiful – cause you know I am gonna have to decorate it) bonus room that can be used as a den, game room (Mike also has a fooze ball table, poker table, and video game), wet bar, or an office. I just don't agree.
I am still trying to get Mike on the bandwagon of converting the garage – even if not for an office, for a game room or "bonus" room – but at least me having my office for now takes the pressure off some (although I think he is a bit jealous at how awesome it is.) We need some garage door repair work done… maybe I can convince him then.
Have you ever tried to convert a garage? Or do you live in a home with a converted space? Did having/ not having a garage sway your decision to buy your home?
Mike is always right… help me win this one! 😉

Harvard NOM Working Paper No. 07-107
Barbados Group Working Paper No. 07-02
In this paper we provide a new definition of leadership that gives organizations and individuals access to new power, performance and accomplishment. In our model leadership consists of four critical elements:
-- The creation of a vision for the future that represents a significant departure from the past, one that requires breakthroughs for its realization.
-- The creation of a system that facilitates enrollment into and elicits voluntary commitment to the vision by the critical mass of people required to discover and implement the breakthroughs required for realization of the vision. -- The creation of a system that ensures both the timely identification of breakdowns (and the dissemination of information about them) that, if unresolved, would prevent the successful realization of the vision.
-- The creation of a system for managing breakdowns that causes people to voluntarily recommit to the vision and maintain these commitments through to the implementation of the breakthroughs required for the realization of the vision.

Topic: Refactor to prevent an SQL query per record that needs updating
# This generates an SQL update per energysheet (use with care)
def self.update_sec_for(energysheets)
for energysheet in energysheets
energysheet.cached_sec = -1
Since each record is being updated to the same value is there a better way to do this in Rails?
I guess a single SQL statement would do the trick... I know of find_by_sql but nothing to execute an update SQL query.
Many thanks, AFM!

After a career of 28 years as an attorney, David Cooke is seeing a dream become reality.
"Since I've been an attorney, as long as I have done litigation, I've always wanted to become a judge. I think, probably, most trial lawyers will tell you that," Cooke said.
Cooke was sworn in as Arvada's new full-time municipal court judge during the June 17 City Council meeting and began serving on July 1. Cooke succeeds Judge George Boyle, Arvada's first full-time judge, who served 35 years and retired on June 30.
Cooke met Boyle before he was selected, and said Boyle had one thing to tell him about the judgeship: "This is the best job there is."
"What a phenomenal endorsement," Cooke said. "When I talked to him, that sealed it. You have a guy that is leaving who could say anything he wants, and all he said was this is the best thing there is, so that got me really excited. I like the fact that it's in my own community too."
Cooke; his wife, Kate, and their two daughters have lived in Arvada for about four years. Before moving to Arvada, they lived in Edgewater, where Cooke served on City Council for five years, three of those years as council president.
Cooke has worked as an attorney for about 28 years and is licensed to practice in New York, Massachusetts and Colorado.
For about 25 years he practiced litigation, working about eight years in the private sector and 17 with governmental agencies.
He has worked as a special litigation prosecutor for the Colorado Attorney General and most recently worked in the Denver's City Attorney's Office, where he supervised civil-rights litigation and defended officers in excessive-force cases.
"My goal is to seriously learn how to do this job with excellence," Cooke said. "The goal for the court is to treat people fairly, be consistent and try to be impactful. Hopefully when cases are done, you brought about the change that needs to happen. People here know their stuff inside and out, and I'm excited to work with a team that is excited about this job."
Cooke expects to hear about 12,000 cases annually.
In addition to serving as presiding judge, Cooke will also serve as the court's department head, leading a staff of nine, and be involved in city leadership.
"What a great team to become a part of, where they really just get the value of what they do, the fact that they can make change and can improve the process," he said. "It's a really positive group."
Though there is a learning curve in transitioning from attorney to judge, Cooke said, his goal is to learn as fast as he can how to do his job as well as he can.
"My goal, as far as the public is concerned — and the city attorney and prosecutors are concerned — is to have this appear to be a smooth handoff," Cooke said. "No doubt certain things will be challenges, but I think it's our obligation to the public for this to go as smoothly as it possibly can."
Cooke also served on the Arvada Council for the Arts and Humanities for about three years and was elected chair of the council last year. He also served as the president of the Board of Directors for the Mile High Community Band.
Cooke has also played electric guitar in the jazz big band and jazz combo band with Mile High Community Band for about five years. He even built his own guitar from scratch.
Cooke said he hopes to find other ways to get involved in the community, but will focus on his new job for the present.
"I pinch myself every day," he said. "I'm unbelievably excited to have this opportunity. I really am. I still can't believe it. I know some of the people who applied for this — super-talented, very qualified people, just excellent. This city had such great options. I am just so flattered that City Council gave me the vote of confidence."
Boyle and three other part-time judges will serve as relief judges. Among the four judges, there is a combined 130 years of experience, Cooke said.

Skip to comments.Gas used in Homs leaves seven people dead and scores affected, activists say
Posted on 12/24/2012 7:50:46 AM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach
Seven people have died in Homs after they inhaled a "poisonous gas" used by government forces in a rebel-held neighbourhood, activists said.
Activists also told Al Jazeera on Sunday night that scores of others were affected in al-Bayyada neighbourhood. Side effects reported include nausea, relaxed muscles, blurred vision, and breathing difficulties.
Residents said they did not know the nature of the gas used.
"The situation is very difficult. We do not have enough facemasks. We don't know what this gas is but medics are saying it's something similar to Sarin gas," Raji Rahmet Rabbou, an activist in Homs, told Al Jazeera.
A doctor treating patients subsequently said the gas seemed to be a concentrated form of tear gas that has not been used in Homs before. Inhaling large amounts can lead to suffocation and death, he said.
The gas appears to have been used during a battle with rebel fighters.
We received the following videos from a field clinic in the city:

Syrian rebels claim Assad regime uses chemical weapons
Arab media and opposition activists reported Monday that Bashar Assad's regime has used chemical weapons for the first time since fighting began in Syria.
According to an Al-Jazeera report, activists in the Al-Bayada neighborhood in Homs, which is under rebel control, claimed they have been targeted with gas by government forces. The opposition said in a separate statement that jet fighters dropped bombs containing 'poisonous material' on Homs.
According to the reports, six or seven people were killed in the attack and dozens wounded. A video posted by Al-Jazeera shows a man being treated with a respirator after allegedly being wounded by nerve gas.
Residents reported those wounded suffered from nausea, delirium and breathing difficulties, but said they do not know what type of gas was used. The opposition also claimed that four people were left blind and four other paralyzed. "The situation is very bad," one of the rebels told Al-Jazeera. "We don't have enough gas masks, we do not know what gas this is, but doctors say it resembles sarin."
In the past few weeks, the U.S. and other Western countries have claimed that intelligence reports appear to show Assad's regime moving chemical weapons and preparing them for use as the regime gradually loses control over the country. The West has warned Assad that use of chemical weapons would constitute a "red line" and would have international ramifications. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned of U.S. action in such a scenario.
Last week, Russia's foreign minister said the Syrian government has consolidated its chemical weapons in one or two locations amid a rebel onslaught.
Sergey Lavrov says Russia, which has military advisers training Syria's military, has kept close watch over its chemical arsenal. He said the Syrian government has moved them from many arsenals to just "one or two centers" to properly safeguard them.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
I am not saying it didn't happen, just that it doesn't make sense.
If you are going to set yourself up for an accusation of using gas, why would you use it in such a limited way.
If this was military gas certainly the shell would have held mush more gas than this.
I am often wrong but it appears to me that the people using the gas were the rebals and they are using it to bring other coun tires into this fight with Assad. It looks like a frame up to me.
I cannot speak for Assad, it would seem to me that if he were going to take the rap for using gas he would use it to wipe clean the whole mess of them.
The video could be a lot of things besides what they say are Doctor treating gas victims.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
Ya don't say!!
Not sure we can trust Al Jazeera to report this. The emir of Qatar owns Al Jazeera and he also has been providing support to the Salafist Jihadis fighting against Assad in Syria...
Very true.
See #9.
I'm no expert but that video doesn't seem to show a victim of Sarin. I have seen guys in worse shape coming out of the "gas chamber" in the Marine Corps from CS Tear Gas.
What better way to get outside intervention than stage a Chemical gas attach by the Gov. Al Qaeda gets the USA to do their dirty work, take out Assad, while they take over the country. Could be wrong, maybe not.
CS causes nausea and difficulty breathing too. I know first-hand!
What a shame. Muslims really need to stop fighting each other and everybody else. We don't need to get involved. The only country in the ME to protect is Israel. Case closed.
I am equally skeptical. Our history with Serbia and false war crimes charges is instructive.
And with the won vacationing in Hawaii and the SoS hiding at home probably enjoying the sauce. :)
Make no mistake, This administration is Hell bent on installing another Islamist regime in the Middle East. The King of Jordan should be sweating right now.
O'Bumbler will give arms and air support to the Rebels in Syria in order to topple Assad, he is simply looking for the chance.
At first it will look like a victory for self rule. It will then degenerate into another nightmare like Libya, Egypt and Iran. Jimmy Carter writ large, without the intelligence and personality!
Russian military presence in Syria poses challenge to US-led intervention
Let Europe fight the Russians instead of having million man marches about how evil the US is.
Russians and Chinese claim Syria has all its WMD under control and safe.
Iran claimed a report from Syria stated that 7 Syrian military professionals were attacked by gas from rebels.
Israel claimed Syria has all its WMD under control.
Rebels claim Syrian gas attack in Homs.
So this is how WWIII breaks out ?
Chemical war of words: Syrian govt, rebels trade accusations
Well, when you want the truth from the media about US troops in today's post modern apocalyptic world, you have to go to Cuba, of all places, to learn what the Germans know.
Troops from France and the U.S. Get Ready to Enter Syria, Reports German Newspaper
there have been tons of claims by the rebels that in spite of many other claims have provem to be umverified and without facts that anyone has been able to verify
American public needs to be converned about the use of false claims about Assad and WMD use as excuses for deeper U.S. intervention
intervention that will be, no matter how bad Assad is, in the interest of the MB in Syria and their radical Wahabi-Sunni backers, not in our interest
Just proven. They used Agent 15 or 3-Quinuclidinyl Benzilate. NATO calls it "BZ".
Here's What The 'Agent-15' Chemical Weapon Probably Used In Syria Does To People
The Russians however are sticking to their story.
Russian Embassy to Syria says has no evidence chemical arms were used
FYI - The Syrians also have claimed that the Rebels used gas this weekend. And in case someone does not know where this is all headed.
Israels Nightmare is beginning to Materialize
Either way, this is the first time in history that chemical weapons could end up beyond the control of a strong military or leader.
Oh Man!
If the timeline of news reports reflects reality, then the rebels first used a yellow gas on Syrian troops and killed about 7-8 of them. At that point, Assad and the Russians realized that even reporting that fact could justify either Western Invasion or Israeli attacks on the WMD stores.
So the Russians and Chinese decided to report that Assad has full control of all his WMD. In other words, it was not Assad's WMD's used in the attack on Syrian troops. When the Israeli's read this, they concur with the Rus/Chicoms, for some undetermined reason. Any ideas why ?
So then we get word that the Syrian counter attack at Homs used a concentrated tear gas, borderline WMD. So the Syrians are dishing up some payback with borderline WMD material.
In the meantime, Emperor Zero is out body surfing at the luau.
I could not care LESS about what these animals do to each other.
U.S. Officials Doubt Syrian Rebels Chemical Attack Claim
Then we have the opinion of this former British Army General. The Kobayashi Maru scenario.

Western Blot Reprobing Protocol
Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
A. Solutions and Reagents
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.
- Wash Buffer: Tris Buffered Saline with Tween® 20 (TBST-10X) (#9997)
- Stripping Buffer: To prepare 100 ml, mix 6.25 ml of 1M Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 10 ml of 20% SDS and 700 μl β-mercaptoethanol. Bring to 100 ml with deionized H20. Make buffer fresh just prior to use.
B. Protocol
- After film exposure, wash membrane four times for 5 min each in TBST. Best results are obtained if the membrane is not allowed to dry.
- Incubate membrane for 30 min at 50°C in stripping buffer (with slight agitation).
- Wash membrane six times for 5 min each in TBST.
- (Optional) To assure that the original signal is removed, wash membrane twice for 5 min each with 10 ml of TBST. Incubate membrane with LumiGLO® with gentle agitation for 1 min at room temperature. Drain membrane of excess developing solution. Do not let dry. Wrap in plastic wrap and expose to x-ray film.
- Wash membrane again four times for 5 min each in TBST.
- The membrane is now ready to reuse. Start detection at the "Membrane Blocking and Antibody Incubations" step in the Western Immunoblotting Protocol.

Nonradioactive Akt Kinase Assay Kit provides all the reagents necessary to measure Akt kinase activity in the cell. Immobilized Akt (1G1) mAb is used to immunoprecipitate Akt from cell extracts. Then, an in vitro kinase assay is performed using GSK-3 Fusion Protein as a substrate. Phosphorylation of GSK-3 is measured by Western blotting, using Phospho-GSK-3alpha/beta (Ser21/9) Antibody.
Akt, also referred to as PKB or Rac, plays a critical role in controlling survival and apoptosis (1-3). This protein kinase is activated by insulin and various growth and survival factors to function in a wortmannin-sensitive pathway involving PI3 kinase (2,3). Akt is activated by phospholipid binding and activation loop phosphorylation at Thr308 by PDK1 (4) and by phosphorylation within the carboxy terminus at Ser473. The previously elusive PDK2 responsible for phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 has been identified as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in a rapamycin-insensitive complex with rictor and Sin1 (5,6). Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis through phosphorylation and inactivation of several targets, including Bad (7), forkhead transcription factors (8), c-Raf (9), and caspase-9. PTEN phosphatase is a major negative regulator of the PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway (10). LY294002 is a specific PI3 kinase inhibitor (11). Another essential Akt function is the regulation of glycogen synthesis through phosphorylation and inactivation of GSK-3α and β (12,13). Akt may also play a role in insulin stimulation of glucose transport (12). In addition to its role in survival and glycogen synthesis, Akt is involved in cell cycle regulation by preventing GSK-3β-mediated phosphorylation and degradation of cyclin D1 (14) and by negatively regulating the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p27 Kip1 (15) and p21 Waf1/Cip1 (16). Akt also plays a critical role in cell growth by directly phosphorylating mTOR in a rapamycin-sensitive complex containing raptor (17). More importantly, Akt phosphorylates and inactivates tuberin (TSC2), an inhibitor of mTOR within the mTOR-raptor complex (18,19).

jrepo. They're based on the current JSR 277 code base, available via the Modules Mercurial repository. You can download the source code for the examples from
Please realize that JSR 277 and its implementation are a presently a moving target, and the sample code, commands, etc. below are all subject to change.
Source filesA modules-related example is really only interesting if there are two modules, one which imports the other. The example uses
driver.Main and a
lib.Library classes and puts them into correspondingly-named modules. Here's
lib/src/lib/Library.java, which prints hello world and some information about the code's module definition and repository:
Here's the associatedpackage lib; import java.module.\*; public class Library { public String greet() { String info = ""; try { Repository r = Repository.getSystemRepository(); ModuleDefinition md = r.find("lib"); info += " from " + md.getName() + "-" + md.getVersion() + " in repository '" + r.getName() + "' at " + r.getSourceLocation(); } catch (Throwable t) { // should not happen but ignore; it's just a demo anyway } return "hello, world" + info; } }
lib/src/lib/module_info.java file:
Note the use of annotations to import the core Java platform, and to designate this module as version 1.0.package lib; import java.lang.ModuleInfo.\*; import java.module.annotation.\*; @ImportModules({ @ImportModule(name="java.se.core") }) @Version("1.0") class module_info { exports lib$Library; }
The "
exports lib$Library;" merits explanation. For a class to be visible from one module to another, it must be exported. Our implementation currently requires us to do this "by hand".
module_info is a real Java class: so is
java.lang.ModuleInfo.exports, and
lib$Library is a field of type
exports in class
lib.module_info. Ultimately, we expect that the set of classes exported by a module will be determined via the normal Java visibility rules, in conjunction with the new "module" keyword, and module developers won't have to explicitly list the exports as shown above. More on this when we discuss the
jam tool.
Here's driver/src/driver/Main.java:
And finally, the correspondingpackage driver; import java.io.\*; import lib.Library; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Library ly = new Library(); System.out.println(ly.greet()); } }
You can readily see that the driver module depends on the lib module, in any version greater or equal to 1.0 and less than 2.0.package driver; import java.module.annotation.\*; @Version("1.0") @ImportModules({ @ImportModule(name="java.se.core"), @ImportModule(name="lib", version="[1.0,2.0)") }) @MainClass("driver.Main") class module_info { }
Compiling and creating JAM filesThe rest of this discussion assumes you've built the modules sources and the resulting build is at
With the current state of the modules source base, javac compilation is no different than what you're already used to. However, creating a JAM file is a little different than creating a JAR file:
In (1), we create the directory which will serve as the source location for a(1) mkdir repo (2) cd lib (3) mkdir classes (4) $MJDK/bin/javac -d classes src/lib/\*.java (5) $MJDK/bin/jam cfsS ../repo/lib.jam lib classes -C classes lib (6) cd ..
LocalRepository. In (4) you can see ... nothing new. However line (5) is new, the
jam tool. It is based on the
jar tool, so the "cf" options are familiar. The new options are:
- s: Specifies module name, in this case "lib".
- S: Specifies the location of the module info file, in this case it is in the classes directory. (In case you're wondering about the choice of "s" and "S": In earlier times, we considered using the term "superpackage" instead of "module", and "s" made sense. We've not yet changed this, and as with other things in this blog entry, "s" and "S" are subject to change.)
lib.jam has this content:
Where didMETA-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF lib/ lib/Library.class lib/module_info.class MODULE-INF/ MODULE-INF/MODULE.METADATA
MODULE.METADATA come from? Its content is based on
module_info.java. The current implementation creates it by copying
module_info.java. Eventually
jam will examine its argument files, and build lists of member and exported classes. These lists will and the information in
module_info.java will be put into
Compilation and jam'ing for the driver is similar:
In (3), notice that we provide the classpath to the library's classes. In the fullness of time, we anticipate allowing something like this:(1) cd driver (2) mkdir classes (3) $MJDK/bin/javac -d classes -cp ../lib/classes src/driver/\*.java (4) $MJDK/bin/jam cfsS ../repo/driver.jam driver classes -C classes driver (5) cd ..
We expect to more options for locating JAM files during compilation, similar to those allowed by the java launcher.$MJDK/bin/javac -d classes -repository ../repo src/driver/\*.java
Running code in Java ModulesBy now, you should have a directory named
repo containing
driver.jam and
lib.jam. Lets run the driver:
which should print something like this:$MJDK/bin/java -jam repo/driver.jam
Or, you can specify a version constraint for the driver:hello, world from lib-1.0 in repository 'application' at file:/tmp/cli-demo/repo/
If no module matches the version constraint, you'll get an error message:$MJDK/bin/java -module "driver:[1.0,2.0)" -repository repo
The Java launcher has other modules-related options; see the Java Launcher section on our tools page for more information.$MJDK/bin/java -module "driver:1.5;[2.0,3.0)" -repository repo Error: Module not found: driver:1.5;[2.0,3.0)
Using jrepo to work with repositoriesThe new JDK tool
jrepo, described at the
jrepo section of our tools page,
lets you examine repository contents, as well as install and uninstall modules to/from repositories. This example's prior steps resulted in a directory
repo with two JAMs,
lib.jam and
driver.jam. Here's how
jrepo shows the repository's contents:
With% $MJDK/bin/jrepo list -r repo Repository file:/tmp/cli-demo/ Name Version lib 1.0 driver 1.0
jrepo gives more information:
Adding% $MJDK/bin/jrepo list -v -r repo Repository file:/tmp/cli-demo/repo/ Name Version Platform Arch Modified Filename lib 1.0 generic generic 5/22/08 1:52 PM /tmp/cli-demo/repo/lib.jam driver 1.0 generic generic 5/22/08 1:52 PM /tmp/cli-demo/repo/driver.jam
-p causes
jrepo to show all contents of all repositories that are parents of the named repository:
We can remove a module:% $MJDK/bin/jrepo list -v -p -r repo Bootstrap repository Name Version Platform Arch Modified Filename java.se.core 1.7 generic generic n/a n/a corba 3.0 generic generic n/a n/a javax.xml 1.4 generic generic n/a n/a javax.xml.bind 2.0 generic generic n/a n/a javax.xml.ws 2.0 generic generic n/a n/a javax.xml.soap 1.3 generic generic n/a n/a javax.tools 1.0 generic generic n/a n/a javax.annotation.processing 1.0 generic generic n/a n/a javax.annotation 1.0 generic generic n/a n/a javax.script 1.0 generic generic n/a n/a java.se 1.7 generic generic n/a n/a java.classpath 1.7 generic generic n/a n/a Repository file:/tmp/cli-demo/repo/ Name Version Platform Arch Modified Filename lib 1.0 generic generic 5/22/08 1:52 PM /tmp/cli-demo/repo/lib.jam driver 1.0 generic generic 5/22/08 1:52 PM /tmp/cli-demo/repo/driver.jam
And, if there's another repository into which we want to install a JAM, we can do that as well:% $MJDK/bin/jrepo uninstall -v -r repo lib Uninstalled lib 1.0 generic generic 5/22/08 1:52 PM /tmp/cli-demo/repo/lib.jam % $MJDK/bin/jrepo list -r repo Repository file:/tmp/cli-demo/repo/ Name Version driver 1.0
There's more work for the JSR 277 development team to do with respect to command line tools. Here's some of what's on our plate:% mkdir repo2 % $MJDK/bin/jrepo install -v -r repo2 repo/driver.jam Installed repo/driver.jam: driver 1.0 generic generic 5/22/08 2:02 PM /tmp/cli-demo/repo/driver-1.0.jam

Tripadvisor came up trumps with this hotel. Having searched through endless websites for a good hotel for a Birthday surprise for my wife in the Peak District area, somewhere close enough to visit Chatsworth House. The Casa Hotel came up on several searches, but I think it was the location that kept putting me off, however after reading a number of the reviews of Tripadvisor I finally booked direct with the hotel.
We booked two doubles as we had good friends also joining us for the weekend. We arrived mid morning on Saturday as the Hotel had also kindly arranged the Chatsworth Tickets at knock down prices, (saving about 30% from gate price)
We had a coffee together in a welcoming bar area with very polite staff, then set off for the day.
We didn't actually book in until we returned around 5ish and that was effortless. We had two rooms in fairly close to each other, which were excellent. Decor was modern and all the finishes were first class, together with a very large luxurious bed.
Rather than going out into Chesterfield for a meal we arranged a 7.30pm booking in the Hotel, mainly because a number of the reviews had recommended it. We were not disappointed!! , together with a nice bottle of Bubbly which I arranged, the meal was great, not hurried, staff were very attentive, and the food first class.
The next day breakfast was also a great experience, with so many options on a "full English"!!
Yes I would definitely recommend, and if I was ever visiting this area again, this would be my choice.

The Buckhorn Archers club had 51 people shoot the 3-D course set up at Bear Creek campground on Saturday. Along with the archers, 45 people came out to watch the competition. In the women's competition, Angela Paskett won with 130 points and KC Jones came in second with 125 points. Pat Hanson won the men's competition with 213 points with Zach Benson and Kurt Price tied for second with 167 points.
Following the shoot, a Bear Done Deal bow was given away and it was won by Remington Grace. A javelina 3-D target was also given away and Darin Gardner was the lucky shooter to take it home. Grace also won the competition with the 3-D target with an 83 yard shot hitting 5/8 of an inch from dead center.
Kelly Farnsworth won the competition on the steel course. He was one of only two people to complete the course without breaking an arrow on the targets.

Thanks so much, Terry!
It all makes perfectly good sense, now.
: : Thanks for the reply, Terry.
: : I'm a little confused though.
: : It was my understanding, along with another individual's, that, when you drain your tub out, air will enter into the overflow, hence, allowing the water in the tub to properly drain through the tub drain, P-trap, etc.
: Air entering through the overflow or the drain,
: In escence, the overflow allows for the "air-to-water exchange". There's still a P-trap in place to keep gas from entering up into the room.
: : Then, a friend told me this morning that I should run a "T" between the drain and the Trap, and connect the "T" fitting to a seperate vent line.
: : I appreciate your reply, I'm just still a little foggy with what is required.

Back-to-school shopping is definitely amped up when college is the destination, and amid all the linens, dorm decor and study supplies, your student should have a trustworthy tool kit.
Freshmen will feel much more at home away from home knowing they're armed for just about any fix they can get into, and upperclassmen who have already learned the hard way will appreciate an organized arsenal of gear with their very own college toolbox.
So, here's a recommended off-to-college toolbox packing list for the dorm room DIYer.

Making his first start since April 12, the Yankees' top prospect turned in his best start of the year, yielding two hits over 3 2/3 scoreless innings as the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees squeaked past the Rochester Red Wings, 2-1.
Banuelos fanned five and did not issue a walk for the second time in 10 career starts at Triple-A. In his first two outings this year, he gave up six runs on 14 hits and seven walks in 5 1/3 innings, compiling a 10.13 ERA. After Wednesday's effort, that mark stood at 6.00.
Banuelos started out strong, working consecutive 1-2-3 innings -- his first two of the season. He struck out three of the first five batters he faced, setting a season high before the end of the second inning.
The 21-year-old left-hander ran into his only trouble at the start of the third, when he surrendered hits to Rene Tosoni and Ray Chang and uncorked a wild pitch, putting runners on the corners with nobody out. He worked out of it, however, by getting a flyout from J.R. Towles, striking out Darin Mastroianni and inducing a groundout from Ben Revere.
Banuelos then retired the only two batters he faced before being replaced by Jason Bulger. The native of Mexico threw 60 pitches on the day, landing 38 for strikes.
Signed as a non-drafted free agent on March 30, 2008, Banuelos posted a 3.75 ERA with 125 strikeouts in 129 2/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last year. He was plagued by walks throughout the season, issuing 71 overall and 19 in 34 1/3 frames with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Bulger (1-0) earned the win after yielding one run on two hits in 3 1/3 frames. Cody Eppley, after a recent stint with the big league club, tossed two shutout innings to record his second save.
Veteran Steve Pearce led the Yankees offense by going 2-for-4 with a solo home run. Shortstop Doug Bernier drove in the team's other run with a double in the seventh.

|03-May-2013 - 05-May-2013
|Masako Hiraga

|Meeting URL:
|Meeting Description:
|The ninth in a series of biennial international and interdisciplinary symposia organized by the Iconicity Research Project since 1997, this meeting will once again focus on iconicity - understood as form miming meaning and form, and meaning miming form and meaning - in language and in literature. Since this is the first symposium to be held in Asia, it will also feature panels on the interaction between Eastern and Western languages. In addition there will also be a translation workshop.
Previous symposia have, on the one hand, concentrated on iconicity as a driving force in language on all grammatical levels, on language acquisition, and on language change. On the other hand, they have addressed the various mimetic uses of more concrete and creative iconic images and/or more abstract iconic diagrams and metaphors at all levels of the literary text, in both narrative and poetic forms, and on all varieties of discourse (literary texts, historical texts, political texts, advertising, language and music, word and image, etc.). These possibilities remain open for the 2013 symposium.
The meeting will be hosted by the Graduate School of Intercultural Communication at Rikkyo University, (http://english.rikkyo.ac.jp/academics/graduate/i-c/), Ikebukuro campus, located in the heart of Tokyo, easily accessible by trains and buses from the two International Airports - Narita and Haneda.

Three tries in the final ten minutes saw Leicester claim a 34-22 Heineken Cup win over the Ospreys at Welford Road on Sunday.
Three tries in the final ten minutes saw Leicester claim a 34-22 Heineken Cup win over the Ospreys in a thrilling game at Welford Road on Sunday.
Ospreys headed into the match searching for their second Heineken Cup win as many weeks, while Leicester were looking to bounce back from an opening round defeat to Toulouse.
It was the visitors who took an early lead courtesy of some expansive and ambitious play with the ball in hand. The opportunity was created when the ball was worked right, and when play returned to the middle of the field, the stage was set for Ryan Jones to finish off in fine style.
Dan Biggar's conversion made it 7-0, and Biggar's penalty goal ten minutes later added to the visitors' lead, but, as the game headed past the half-hour mark, Leicester were able to find a response.
Toby Flood's penalty goal on 28 minutes got the Tigers off the mark, before an eye-catching attacking move brought about a try for Manu Tuilagi, who strode over when the ball was moved right.
Flood's conversion ensured that the scores were level at half-time, and the flurry of penalties that followed the restart were shared, with Biggar and Flood hitting three each to ensure that the match remained finely poised.
With the game approaching the final 15 minutes the spoils were still there for the taking, and it was the hosts who were able to find the extra inspiration needed to take victory. A penalty from Flood on 66 minutes gave Leicester the edge, and the goalkicker then got in on the try-scoring act when he intercepted on half-way and sprinted over for a crucial try.
Biggar's penalty reduced the arrears, but a late Tiger try from Ben Youngs and a second from Tuilagi sealed a welcome win for Leicester.
The scorers:
For Leicester:
Tries: Tuilagi 2, Flood, Youngs
Cons: Flood 2
Pens: Flood 5
For Ospreys:
Try: R. Jones
Cons: Biggar
Pens: Biggar 5
Yellow card: Bevington (Ospreys – 34th min- scrum infringements)
Leicester Tigers: 15 Scott Hamilton, 14 Niall Morris, 13 Manu Tuilagi, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Vereniki Goneva, 10 Toby Flood, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Jordan Crane, 7 Thomas Waldrom, 6 Steve Mafi, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Graham Kitchener, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Logovi'i Mulipola.
Replacements: 16 George Chuter, 17 Marcos Ayerza, 18 Martin Castrogiovanni, 19 Louis Deacon, 20 Richard Thorpe, 21 Sam Harrison, 22 George Ford, 23 Matt Smith.
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Hanno Dirksen, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Jonathan Thomas, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (c), 3 Adam Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Ryan Bevington.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Dwyer, 17 Duncan Jones, 18 Aaron Jarvis, 19 George Stowers, 20 Joe Bearman, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Tom Isaacs.

Love em'
"These shoes are super cute! Not for the faint of heart when it comes to a heel. They are high, but remarkably comfortable for such a high heel. The cushion in the in-step definitely helps. I wore them for the first time to a wedding and got soooo many compliments (my friends' husbands told their wives that they need a pair of shoes like this!) and my feet weren't killing me at the end of night. Word of caution on the sizing.... after reading previous reviews about the shoe running long, I bought a half size smaller and ended up exchanging them for my regular size. They may run a tinsy bit long, but I have a wide foot and my regular size worked better. Get these shoes!!"

"I love love love love love these shoes. I've never had a pair of t-strap sandals and I am so glad I tried these on. The scalloped edges give the shoes a vintage feel and they look adorable with dresses and skirts for work. The t-strap and high heel also look perfect with jeans for going out. As always with JS shoes, the quality is great. They are a little narrow at the front but not to where the shoe is digging into skin. Very comfortable considering the lack of platform and high heel but please keep in mind, I wear heels to work daily and I am used to them. I would definitely recommend these shoes!!"

Great Shoe
"I ordered these to pair with a dress for an evening event. My biggest fear was trying to break in a shoe at an event that I was going to be on my feet half the night but they were comfortable, look fantastic and didn't need breaking in at all. The shoe is gorgeous! The photo doesn't do it justice. This is my first pair of Jessica Simpson's and won't be my last if all the shoes fit this great."

U of Chicago, Public Law Working Paper No. 321
In a prior article, we argued that punishment theorists need to take into account the counterintuitive findings from hedonic psychology about how offenders typically experience punishment. Punishment generally involves the imposition of negative experience. The reason that greater fines and prison sentences constitute more severe punishments than lesser ones is, in large part, that they are assumed to impose greater negative experience. Hedonic adaptation reduces that difference in negative experience, thereby undermining efforts to achieve proportionality in punishment. Anyone who values punishing more serious crimes more severely than less serious crimes by an appropriate amount - as virtually everyone does - must therefore confront the implications of hedonic adaptation. Moreover, the unadaptable negativity of post-prison life which is caused by the experience of imprisonment results in punishments that go on far longer than is typically assumed. Objectivist retributive theories that fail to incorporate these facts risk creating grossly excessive punishments. Certain retributivists have disputed the claim that adaptation is important to punishment theory, but their arguments are unavailing.

Jetstream Podcast Ep 9: Rogers Wins Big
Travis Hrubeniuk
December 03 2013 08:23AM
On this week's episode, the guys discuss Rogers' new TV deal, old players suing the NHL and our beloved Evander Kane. All that, plus our choices for one move to help the Jets, a game of Fair or Foul and early Christmas parties.

The player lawsuit regarding concussions may or may not have merit (I suspect it will not) but the grounds on which the speakers appear to dismiss it here I find to be lacking.
Anyone engaged in employment is doing so under a presumption of a certain amount of informed consent. The notion that informed consent does not apply because the employees in question love their work, or that work is playing a sport is silly. I love my job, it does not mean that my employer does not have an obligation to tell me about the risks of my job to my future health.
If the NHLPA knew something about the risks of concussions and held that information back the players have every right to sue them, doing so in not stupid or worthy of derision. Unions who represent workers screw up all the time and should be held accountable for it. Especially if the union was withholding information out of concern for the league's financial position at risk, the union should not select money over health for the players without their direct input into the decision.
I agree that the science on concussions is still very much a work in progress but even a casual look at the NFL story on this topic and it is obvious that the NFL was denying *any* knowledge that there might be harm *after* paying out claims related to head injuries via their disability board. If this suit digs up a smoking gun like that the NHL will, rightly, need to be held accountable.

Twice the size of Arizona, Botswana is in south-central Africa, bounded by Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Most of the country is near-desert, with the Kalahari occupying the western part of the country. The eastern part is hilly, with salt lakes in the north.
Parliamentary republic.
The earliest inhabitants of the region were the San, who were followed by the Tswana. About half the country today is ethnic Tswana. The term for the country's people, Batswana, refers to national rather than ethnic origin.
Encroachment by the Zulu in the 1820s and by Boers from Transvaal in the 1870s and 1880s threatened the peace of the region. In 1885, Britain established the area as a protectorate, then known as Bechuanaland. In 1961, Britain granted a constitution to the country. Self-government began in 1965, and on Sept. 30, 1966, the country became independent. Botswana is Africa's oldest democracy.
The new country maintained good relations with its white-ruled neighbors but gradually changed its policies, harboring rebel groups from South Rhodesia as well as some from South Africa.
Although Botswana is rich in diamonds, it has high unemployment and stratified socioeconomic classes. In 1999, the nation suffered its first budget deficit in 16 years because of a slump in the international diamond market. Yet Botswana remains one of the wealthiest and most stable countries on the continent.
After 17 years in power, President Ketumile Masire retired in 1997, and Festus Mogae, an Oxford-educated economist, became the new president. Mogae has won high marks from the international financial community for continuing to privatize Botswana's mining and industrial operations.
