The Wetzel Family Estate now grows fourteen grape varieties, on diverse sites stretching from the banks of the Russian River up onto the hillsides. Each grape variety is matched to a specific soil type and exposure. Vineyard Manager Mark Houser and Winemaker Kevin Hall work as a team to maximize fruit flavor in the vineyard and to create balanced wines that capture the grapes' varietal characteristics. Hank Wetzel oversees the vineyard and winery operations, and his wife Linda continues to oversee administration. Now the third generation of Wetzels has joined the winery. Harry Wetzel, IV is assistant winemaker while younger brother Robert is the National Sales Manager.
Alexander Valley Vineyards produces 100,000 cases annually, 17 varietal wines and proprietary blends. Seventy-five percent of AVV's production is red wine. Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon constitute roughly half of total production. Other varietals include Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Gewurztraminer, Syrah, Sangiovese, Viognier, and Cabernet Franc.

About Other CaliforniaView a map of Other California wineries
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Orchestra opens with Ivan Moravec, Oct. 19-20
Posted October 10, 2007; 04:43 p.m.
The Princeton University Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Pratt, will open its 2007-08 season with the internationally acclaimed Czech pianist Ivan Moravec in concerts scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 19-20, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
Moravec and the orchestra will perform the Beethoven Third Piano Concerto in C minor during the second half of the program. Moravec is a 2007 Belknap Visitor in the Humanities, and his visit is made possible in part by the Council of the Humanities.
Moravec has performed with virtually every major American symphony orchestra from Boston to Los Angeles and Chicago to Atlanta. He regularly appears as an orchestral soloist and a recitalist in the most prestigious concert venues throughout the world. In 2000, Vaclav Havel, president of the Czech Republic, awarded Moravec the Medal of Merit for Outstanding Artistic Achievement. He has appeared regularly on the Princeton University Concert Series for nearly two decades as a solo recitalist, but this will mark his first performance with an orchestra in Princeton.
Pratt, now in his 30th season at the University, said, "We are deeply honored to be a part of Ivan Moravec's first concerto appearance in Princeton. The many audience members who have heard his artistry at his Richardson recitals know what a treat is in store for them."
For the first half of the program, Pratt has selected two excerpts from Richard Wagner's cycle "The Ring of the Niebelung": the lyrical "Forest Murmers" from Siegfried; and the monumental "Siegfried's Death and Funeral Music" from "Twilight of the Gods." Benjamin Britten's perennial favorite, "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra," will complete the concert's first half.
Tickets for the concerts, priced at $18 for general admission, $15 for seniors and $5 for students, are available at the Richardson Auditorium box office at (609) 258-5000 and the Frist Campus Center box office at (609) 258-9220, or online through University Ticketing at www.princeton.edu/utickets.

- Description
Belvedere Castle was intended to be a fantasy structure that provides a great backdrop and views, but without a real intended purpose. However, this all changed in 1919 when the National Weather Service began taking measurements from the castle's tower and it still serves as the official weather station for Central Park.
Over the decades the castle suffered from deterioration and in 1983, the Central Park Conservancy renovated and reopened the structure, which now also serves as the Henry Luce Nature Observatory.

Ford, GM offer own stimulus plans
* Automakers to cover car payments if buyer loses job.
Staff and wire reports
DETROIT – It's not an April Fool's joke – lose your job, and keep your car or truck.
At least for a little while.
Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. announced Tuesday that they are offering payment protection plans to help reassure consumers who may be putting off buying a new car because of worries about losing their job.
The offers come as auto sales have been battered by the recession and tight credit, reaching their lowest levels in 27 years.
Ford said it will cover payments of up to $700 each month for up to a year on any new Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle if consumers lose their jobs. The program runs until June 1.
Hours later, GM said it would make a similar offer. GM's new CEO, Fritz Henderson, said the company will make up to nine car payments of $500 each for customers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.
"It's a good idea, based on what I've heard so far," said Corey Clark, general manager of Clark Ford in Amory. "Anything like this helps the auto industry."
Customers must qualify for state unemployment to be eligible for the program. The program starts April 1 and runs until April 30.
Gary Cartwright, owner of Cartwright Ford in Booneville, said the Ford plan is a great selling tool.
"Along with 0 percent financing that's available and rebates, now's probably the best time to ever buy a car or truck," he said. "I think a lot of people have been holding back on buying a vehicle because they were worried about their jobs, but this program I think now will give customers confidence to buy."
Hyundai Motor Co. launched a program in January that allows buyers to return a vehicle within a year if they can't make the payments due to a job loss or disability. The company said the program helped it avoid a double-digit sales decline last month, reporting a 2 percent slide.
Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford is also offering zero percent financing on certain Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
"Consumers remain anxious about the economy and their own outlook for the future," Ken Czubay, vice president of sales and marketing, said in a statement.
The announcements come a day after President Barack Obama said the government will back new car warranties issued by GM and Chrysler LLC, who have accepted federal assistance and are seeking more, to help boost consumer confidence about buying their vehicles.
Ford has not requested federal bailout funds.
Ford also said it would partner with its dealers to introduce a program that would help local charities affected by the economic downturn.

Although there have been a sea of changes in the software industry over the last 30 years, there has been no major change in data management since the introduction of the relational database system (RDBMS) in the 1970's. The world has changed drastically since then. We have orders of magnitude more data, arriving at much faster rates, from more sources. Applications that depend on this data have proliferated, reflecting the needs of the business to have faster and more ready access to information. The relationships among those applications have grown as one business process affects another, requiring the applications to share the data in real-time.
Modern relational databases have resolved many of the Achilles heals that they either introduced or suffered from in the early stages. They now provide mechanisms for dealing with high availability, clustering and fault tolerance. They can replicate data to peer databases around the world. However, a few problems remain. Firstly, relational databases are a good way to achieve data integration but are lousy at achieving process integration (more on this later). Secondly, using features such as 'triggers', they may be able to detect 'events' (changes in data that some application may be interested in) but they are traditionally poor at distributing events back out to the client tier. And thirdly, they do not store, nor present data to the client in a 'ready-to-use' format for most of the applications. There are multiple layers of translation, transformation, memory mapping and allocation, network I/O and disk I/O that need to occur in order for the simplest of queries to return the simplest of responses. As our use of the RDBMS has grown over time, we have come to depend on them to share data, but they were really only designed to store data.
In an attempt to break down stovepipe systems, there has been a move to Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). SOA helps organizations achieve reuse of individual components of a business process, and makes it easier to adapt their overall processes to align with changing business needs. SOA enables organizations to quickly build new business workflows. However, SOA still fundamentally leaves business processes as stovepipes and it operates on a basic assumption that the components are completely independent. SOA does not address the issue of the real-time interdependencies on the data that the processes share.
In an attempt to get a comprehensive view of data, large organizations are building data warehouses and online/real-time dashboards, so that senior management can see the big picture and drill into critical details. Most dashboard and/or data warehouse solutions pull a copy of the operational data together (usually into a new dimensional format), leaving the original data in place. The operational applications cannot advantage of this combined data view. Data warehousing does not do anything to solve the real-time data interdependencies between applications where business processes intersect. The Missing Link is 'data awareness'.Consider as an example the way that mission planning applications (such as JTT or JMPS) depend on data from Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) systems, Enemy Order of Battle (MIDB), situation reports, etc. Let us examine the process flow today from the mission planner's perspective and how potential changes to sources he works with impact the work and the mission.
How could this be different? Enter GemFire Enterprise, the next generation in data management. GemFire combines
What if the mission planning process flow tapped into a data aware, next generation data management system such as GemFire?
(Assumption—No changes are made to the underlying databases BUT all RDBMS changes are pushed thru GemFire or sent to GemFire. A small change is made to the application to let it register interest and receive data updates via GemFire's event mechanism or Continuous Query feature.
The interdependency between applications on data and changes to data has serious impacts on mission critical processes. The current way in which data management is done in enterprise applications is over 40 years old and just can not provide many of the critical features needed to build today's high performance, cross organization applications. It is time to consider enhancing your systems data management ability.

Born Free
Dear Alibi,
The symbiotic relationship between man and the domesticated animal is one in which we can track historical changes in the development of society. Approximately 10,000 years ago man shifted from a nomadic lifestyle to a more sedentary one. The advent of harvesting crops and domestication of livestock can be considered the beginning of modern societal constructs. Just as the animals where rounded up, the people were now moved to more centralized areas. The liberties of the individual were limited by laws that the few held over the many.
The Industrial Revolution forever changed the way society would function as a whole. For the farm animal this would be a disastrous event that lead to a cruel form of being. The most significant part of this revolution was efficiency overriding ethical standards. Animals were now seen as profitable commodities, their existence as beings would be overlooked as big business researched ways to lessen the cost of raising them in a dignified manner. At the same time, the dehumanization of the work place was underway. People working on an assembly line were forced into mechanical labor as a way to sustain a meager way of life.
The re-creation of the farm animal, in the laboratory, is a nefarious representation of how far business and government will go to achieve their avarice goals. If you were allowed to peer into the modern day chicken coop, you'd see breast heavy birds falling face forward into their own feces. The health of the animal is not an option when the breast is so highly profitable. The American worker has also been tampered with to the point that obesity has become the leading health issue of our times, and the multiple physical ailments that are directly attributed to a poor diet. The overweight, medicated employee is a compliant worker that has lost his ability to function outside of the machine.
I think it is time to let all the animals run free again.

(I Don't Love That) Dirty Water
Dear Alibi,
In most people's views I'm considered pretty healthy. I steer clear from soft drinks. I practice yoga three times a week. And I've been working on fueling my body with more veggies and fruits.
But that hard work and effort is being reversed by New Mexico's dirty water and air. According to an Environment New Mexico report, the Four Corners Power Plant is releasing large amounts of mercury into the environment. These pollutants are diminishing my goal of living past 100 and its not even because of something that I'm doing. It's what local companies are doing.
Coal-fired power plants release thousands of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere each year, such as mercury, soot and lead. And the worst part is that power plants around the country are fighting to continue to pollute the environment and put people's health at risk.
For example, the Clean Air Act that's helping to clean up and update existing fossil fuel energy sources is under attack by industry lobbyists who are trying to stop these measures in Congress.
Why would you want to stop something that could potentially reduce toxic mercury pollution, reduce ozone levels to protect communities from toxic coal ash and halt global warming pollution from coal-fired power plants?
We need to stop this madness. I urge the EPA to place the strongest standards possible and support the Obama administration in backing these efforts, because I need a healthier future to live.

Ortiz y Pinos Say the Darndest Things
Dear Alibi,
[Opinion, "License to Rage," March 17-23] Wow. Somebody needs to take away [Ortiz y] Pino's license to write. He always makes an outrageous statement then provides "evidence" that has no basis in fact. No surprise there. The fact is that New Mexico driver's licenses are being bought and sold to criminals, many of whom don't even live in the state. Law enforcement recognizes this and says it makes tracking criminals very difficult, if not impossible. Is [Ortiz y] Pino so naive to think that a criminal is going to provide his/her true address? The fact is that people who broker driver's licenses are offering fictitious addresses to their customers. The fact is guns can be bought with a driver's license. But we know no one would ever buy a guy [sic] to use in a crime. [Ortiz y] Pino suggests that we need to write laws that make it convenient for people to follow or they'll just ignore them. They ignored our laws by crossing the border. Illegal aliens have no need for a driver's license, because they don't belong here. I've visited many foreign countries. I never had any issues renting and driving a vehicle. The reason was I had no intent to break their laws by staying permanently. Providing any services to those who choose to consciously break our immigration laws only rewards their criminal activity. At the end of [Ortiz y] Pino's article, I noticed he was a college instructor. Was this a kindergarten college instructor? If [Ortiz y] Pino wasn't on Art Linkletter's show several decades ago, he should have been.

NOTE: Car loans, home loans, credit card bills (new or existing), or any other personal loan or consumer credit contract are generally NOT eligible for Military Suspension during combat deployments. Contrary to popular belief, the Soldiers & Sailors act does NOT suspend payments, but rather it may help reduce the interest rate during the deployment. For more information, please see the Soldiers & Sailors Act link to the right.
However, there are many services your Marine may have used while stateside that may be eligible for a "Military Suspension". It would be best for your Marine to suspend these services prior to deployment. However, that may not be possible if the deployment was unexpected or happened so quickly that your Marine did not have time to suspend these services.
Some examples of services that may be eligible for Military Suspension include:

This section provides guidelines for compiling C programs that use the MySQL C API.
The examples here use gcc as the compiler. A different compiler might be appropriate on some systems (for example, clang on OS X or FreeBSD, or Sun Studio on Solaris). Adjust the examples as necessary.
You may need to specify an
-I option when you
compile client programs that use MySQL header files, so that
the compiler can find them. For example, if the header files
are installed in
use this option in the compile command:
MySQL clients must be linked using the
-lmysqlclient option in the link command. You
may also need to specify a
-L option to tell
the linker where to find the library. For example, if the
library is installed in
/usr/local/mysql/lib, use these options
in the link command:
-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient
The path names may differ on your system. Adjust the
-I and
-L options as
To make it simpler to compile MySQL programs on Unix, use the mysql_config script. See Section 4.7.2, "mysql_config — Display Options for Compiling Clients".
mysql_config displays the options needed for compiling or linking:
mysql_config --cflagsshell>
mysql_config --libs
You can run those commands to get the proper options and add them manually to compilation or link commands. Alternatively, include the output from mysql_config directly within command lines using backticks:
gcc -c `mysql_config --cflags` progname.cshell>
gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --libs`
On Unix, linking uses dynamic libraries by default. To link to
the static client library instead, add its path name to the
link command. For example, if the library is located in
/usr/local/mysql/lib, link like this:
gcc -o progname progname.o /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a
Or use mysql_config to provide the library name:
gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --variable=pkglibdir`/libmysqlclient.a
mysql_config does not currently provide a
way to list all libraries needed for static linking, so it
might be necessary to name additional libraries on the link
command (for example,
-lnsl -lsocket on
Solaris). To get an idea which libraries to add, use
mysql_config --libs and ldd
libmysqlclient.so (or otool -L
libmysqlclient.dylib on OS X).
To specify header and library file locations, use the facilities provided by your development environment.
To build C API clients on Windows, you must link in the C client library, as well as the Windows ws2_32 sockets library and Secur32 security library.
On Windows, you can link your code with either the dynamic or
static C client library. The static library is named
mysqlclient.lib and the dynamic library
is named
libmysql.dll. In addition, the
libmysql.lib static import library is
needed for using the dynamic library.
If you link with the static library, failure can occur unless these conditions are satisfied:
The client application must be compiled with the same version of Visual Studio used to compile the library.
The client application should link the C runtime statically by using the
/MTcompiler option.
If the client application is built in debug mode and uses the
static debug C runtime (
/MTd compiler
option), it can link to the
mysqlclient.lib static library if that
library was built using the same option. If the client
application uses the dynamic C runtime (
option, or
/MDd option in debug mode), it
must be linked to the
dynamic library. It cannot link to the static client library.
The MSDN page describing the link options can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2kzt1wy3.aspx
If the linker cannot find the MySQL client library, you might
get undefined-reference errors for symbols that start with
mysql_, such as those shown here:
/tmp/ccFKsdPa.o: In function `main': /tmp/ccFKsdPa.o(.text+0xb): undefined reference to `mysql_init' /tmp/ccFKsdPa.o(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `mysql_real_connect' /tmp/ccFKsdPa.o(.text+0x69): undefined reference to `mysql_error' /tmp/ccFKsdPa.o(.text+0x9a): undefined reference to `mysql_close'
You should be able to solve this problem by adding
-L at the end of your link command, where
dir_path represents the path name
of the directory where the client library is located. To
determine the correct directory, try this command:
mysql_config --libs
The output from mysql_config might indicate other libraries that should be specified on the link command as well. You can include mysql_config output directly in your compile or link command using backticks. For example:
gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --libs`
If an error occurs at link time that the
floor symbol is undefined, link to the math
library by adding
-lm to the end of the
compile/link line. Similarly, if you get undefined-reference
errors for other functions that should exist on your system,
such as
connect(), check the manual page
for the function in question to determine which libraries you
should add to the link command.
If you get undefined-reference errors such as the following for functions that do not exist on your system, it usually means that your MySQL client library was compiled on a system that is not 100% compatible with yours:
mf_format.o(.text+0x201): undefined reference to `__lxstat'
In this case, you should download the latest MySQL or Connector/C source distribution and compile the MySQL client library yourself. See Section 2.9, "Installing MySQL from Source", and MySQL Connector/C Developer Guide.

Josh, Arnie Carvalho and I had a lively discussion, after a day at Celebration VI, about how the smaller scale would actually be great if you were building a diorama on a two-foot shelf and needed to add perspective.
Seriously though, it surprises me on one hand because Hasbro is constantly giving us the "tooling costs" excuse in regards to increasing prices. So, why redesign the Jedi Starfighter, Republic Tank and the Slave I as well as any forthcoming vehicles if creating a new mould is so expensive? The nice lady at the Hasbro booth explained to me that they were trying to decrease the shelf footprint while at the same time being able to lower the price to under $20 (USD) for a ship. Great reasons, both of them. Still, wouldn't the initial costs be more due to the development of these new moulds? I guess I find it a little odd since it seems like reusing existing moulds would actually be cheaper.
At the end of the day, these ships were not designed with me or any other collectors in mind. These are "para los ninos". I do hope that they find success with these ships and that kids start buying them. If not, this could affect the collector scale vehicles in the future.
I'm glad that Hasbro will continue to release the "collector's scale" ships as exclusives. The new ships come packaged in boxes that have little graphics that specifically state these figures are for use with Movie Heroes and Clone Wars figures, which I found interesting. To be honest, I think you will really need to cram the Movie Heroes figures into the cockpits in order to get them inside. 'Cos... Movie Heroes are just retired Vintage or Movie-styled action figures that are larger than the Clone Wars ones.
I do hope that Hasbro has success with these in that they will be priced to sell better to kids. I think they are doing something good by giving kids the option to either get one vehicle or a mini-rig with two pack-in figures at the same price point.

Cupcake creations are sweet and 1-2-3 easy! Have some kooky fun.
Bake the muffins in decorative paper baking cups found at party stores or cake-decorating supply stores.
You can freeze the unfrosted cupcakes up to three months ahead. Frost and decorate the frozen cupcakes, and let thaw at room temperature.
Assorted candies can include tiny jelly beans, candy corn and other colorful or black candies. Candy shops and grocery stores featuring bulk candy allow fun choices in small amounts for tasty decorations!
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Skin cancer occurs when abnormal skin cells begin to grow out of control. While normal cells divide and develop in an orderly fashion, cancer cells do not. Skin cancer cells may penetrate or invade surrounding tissue. They may also spread to other parts of the body through the blood or lymphatic systems. As cancer cells continue to grow, they crowd out normal cells and often form into a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor. These growths may inhibit normal body function by blocking up internal organs or blood vessels, or destroying nerve pathways, etc. Skin cancer (mostly melanoma) can sometimes lead to death.
The chief cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet (UV) radiation. While the sun serves as the major source of UV radiation, tanning beds and some welding equipment also produce these harmful rays. Of special note, the federal government classifies UV rays as a "known human carcinogen." Thus UV rays are classified in the same cancer-causing group that includes arsenic, asbestos, and tobacco smoke.
There are three major types of skin cancer: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. BCC is most common while melanoma is least common. These skin cancers are named according to the specific cells from which they originate.
Melanoma can be quite deadly if left untreated in its early stages. In contrast, less than 1% of individuals with SCC die from this disease. BCC very rarely results in death. Yet, if not treated in time, many skin cancers can lead to some disfigurement based on the amount of damaged skin a physician has to remove.
Skin cancer is by far the most common cancer both in California and across the nation. Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer in California then the combined total of new cases for the next 12 most common cancers, including cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, and colon. Approximately 128,000 Californians will get skin cancer this year. One of every five persons in California is expected to eventually get skin cancer.
UV rays harm both children and adults. But a child's skin, particularly before age ten, is especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of solar radiation. Both childhood sunburns and tanning increase a child's risk of developing skin cancer as an adult. Sunburns and tanning are outward signs of internal skin damage.
UV rays are stronger per the following conditions:
Without specialized medical training, an individual should not expect to be able to determine if a growth or other abnormality appearing on the skin is indeed skin cancer. A person who observes such irregularities on the skin should see a dermatologist (skin doctor). Skin cancer can appear in various forms including a shiny bump; an open sore that may crust and bleed; a reddish patch; a growth with an elevated, rolled border and an indented center; a scaly red patch with irregular borders; or a wart-like growth. Melanoma, the most deadly skin cancer - which often appears near or within a mole - may have one or more of these features: asymmetry, jagged border, multiple colors, or large size (larger then a standard pencil eraser).
While a small amount of sun exposure can help maintain one's health, an individual should usually keep a barrier between him or herself and the sun. Recommended practices include:
In many cases, skin cancer is surgically removed. Other options include:

Category: Cephalopods view all from this category
Description The Longfin Inshore Squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) is a species of squid of the family Loliginidae. The Longfin Inshore Squid is found in the North Atlantic, schooling in continental shelf and slope waters from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Venezuela. It is commercially exploited, especially in the range from the Southern Georges Bank to Cape Hatteras.
The Longfin Inshore Squid spawns year-round and lives for less than one year. Individuals hatched in summer generally grow more rapidly than those hatched in winter due to the warmer temperature of the water. The species presents sexual dimorphism, with most males growing faster and reaching larger sizes than females. The dorsal-mantle length of some males can reach 50 cm, although most squids commercially harvested are smaller than 30 cm long.
This species is a model organism in neuroscience and was used by Andrew Huxley and Alan Hodgkin in their studies on axons. They are also used for research on replicating their camouflage abilities due to the chromatophores in their skin, which reflect a different color depending on the angle at which the light is hitting them.
Habitat Open ocean, Coral reefs.
Range New England, Eastern Canada, Florida, Mid-Atlantic.

The Oil Slick: Garage Rock Tunes to Knock You Out of Your Christmas Carol Rut
Stock up on the booze and Google Grandma's number -- it's holiday season again.
Nothing wrong with settling down with a rum and eggnog and seeing the family members whose calls you forgot to screen, but this celebrated season also has a dark side.
Yes, along with the snow, ice and awkward family gatherings, the holidays also blare "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Baby (It's Cold Outside)" everywhere: malls, TV commercials, even your car isn't safe.
Soon enough, your life resembles one big Hallmark commercial.
With the season starting earlier and earlier, it's time to fight back. Here are a few songs to knock you out of the Christmas carol rut:
The Parlor Mob –- "The Beginning"
A song about reinvention and change, topics that go against the very idea of songs that have been sung and played for decades. "The Beginning" can bust a holiday funk and inspire change at the same time. With a call to try something new and one hell of a guitar breakdown around the 4:00 mark (plus the absence of snowflakes or deer), what's not to like?

Specifically, our energy comes from what?
The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to provide cells with the oxygen they need for cellular respiration. Cells also need glucose for cellular respiration. Glucose is a simple sugar that comes from the food we eat. To get glucose from food, digestion must occur. This process is carried out by the digestive system.
Overview of the Digestive System
The digestive system consists of organs that break down food and absorb nutrients such as glucose. Organs of the digestive system are shown in Figure below. Most of the organs make up the gastrointestinal tract. The rest of the organs are called accessory organs.
The digestive system includes organs from the mouth to the anus.
The following interactive animation demonstrates the flow of food through the gastrointestinal (GI) system.
The Gastrointestinal Tract
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a long tube that connects the mouth with the anus. It is more than 9 meters (30 feet) long in adults and includes the esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. Food enters the mouth, passes through the other organs of the GI tract, and then leaves the body through the anus.
At The Digestive Process link below, you can watch an animation that shows what happens to food as it passes through the GI tract. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm3oIX6jjn4.
If the video below doesn't work - Search for "The Digestive Process - University of Michigan" on this site: http://www.mybigcampus.com/bundles/biochemistry-unit-le-collection---212268
The organs of the GI tract are lined with mucous membranes that secrete digestive enzymes and absorb nutrients. The organs are also covered by layers of muscle that enable peristalsis. Peristalsis is an involuntary muscle contraction that moves rapidly along an organ like a wave (see Figure below). You can watch an animation of peristalsis at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peristalsis.gif.
Peristalsis pushes food through the GI tract.
Accessory Organs of Digestion
Other organs involved in digestion include the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas. They are called accessory organs because food does not pass through them. Instead, they secrete or store substances needed for digestion.
Functions of the Digestive System
The digestive system has three main functions: digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of solid food waste. Digestion is the process of breaking down food into components the body can absorb. It consists of two types of processes: mechanical digestion and chemical digestion.
- Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of chunks of food into smaller pieces. This type of digestion takes place mainly in the mouth and stomach.
- Chemical digestion is the chemical breakdown of large, complex food molecules into smaller, simpler nutrient molecules that can be absorbed by the blood. This type of digestion begins in the mouth and stomach but occurs mainly in the small intestine.
After food is digested, the resulting nutrients are absorbed. Absorption is the process in which substances pass into the bloodstream, where they can circulate throughout the body. Absorption of nutrients occurs mainly in the small intestine. Any remaining matter from food that cannot be digested and absorbed passes into the large intestine as waste. The waste later passes out of the body through the anus in the process of elimination.
- The digestive system consists of organs that break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste.
- The breakdown of food occurs in the process of digestion.

The Cyprus bailout has hit emerging markets–and caused the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) exchange-traded fund to drop 1.2% to $42.27.
Like any good politician, new Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang promised to accelerate market reforms and boost social spending but offered few details, the Wall Street Journal said. China's Shanghai Composite stock index fell 1.7% today.
India's newly-discovered taste for coffee could support bean prices and give Starbucks (SBUX) a boost, the Wall Street Journal says. India's Sensex stock index gained TK%.
South Korea's producer-price index rose 0.7% in February, up from 0.2% in January, RTT News reported. That follows the 0.2 percent increase in January. South Korea's benchmark Kospi stock index fell 0.7%.
The Philippines will increase its domestic borrowing in 2013. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Philippines, meanwhile, are investigating whether bribes were paid by Universal Entertainment for the rights to build a casino in bid to build a casino in Manila, the New York Times reports. The Philippines Stock Exchange PSEi Index fell 1.8%.
The Guardian's Larry Elliott wonders if the reason Cyprus bank accounts take a bailout hit is because there "is a lot of Russian money in Cyprus, much of it from somewhat dubious sources." Russia's Micex stock index has dropped 2.8% so far today.
Emerging Market Stocks to Watch
The Wall Street Journal took a look at the "assault" on Carlos Slim's business empire on Saturday, including Mexican telecom Amercia Movil (AMX), while the Financial Times asks if its time to buy.
AngloGold Ashanti (AU) said power failures will reduce their production and increase costs during the first quarter of 2013.
Suntech Power Holdings (STP) said it received a default notice after failing to pay the principal on its convertible bonds Friday, amid news that China may cut incentives for solar projects. The Guggenheim Solar (TAN) exchange-traded fund has dropped 1% to $17 in pre-open trading.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Social Networks
The Wall Street Journal is reporting today on yet another major Facebook privacy blunder. Despite Facebook's various polices and promises about users' privacy when using apps, apps have been feeding Facebook users' information to advertisers and Internet tracking companies regardless of the individual user's Facebook privacy settings.
As noted in our first post, EFF recently received new documents via our FOIA lawsuit on social network surveillance, filed with the help of UC Berkeley's Samuelson Clinic, that reveal two ways the government has been tracking people online: Citizenship and Immigration's surveillance of social networks to investigate citizenship petitions and the DHS's use of a "Social Networking Monitoring Center" to collect and analyze online public communication during President Obama's inauguration. This is the second of two posts describing these documents and some of their implications.
EFF recently received new documents as a result of our FOIA lawsuit on social network surveillance, filed with the help of UC Berkeley's Samuelson Clinic, that reveal two ways the government has been tracking people online: surveillance of social networks to investigate citizenship petitions and the Department of Homeland Security's use of a "Social Networking Monitoring Center" to collect and analyze online public communication during President Obama's inauguration. This is the first of two posts describing these documents and some of their implications. (Read part one.)
Today Facebook announced three new features that help move the social networking giant closer to satisfying EFF's Bill of Privacy Rights for Social Networking. While EFF continues to have outstanding issues with Facebook, we greatly appreciate these important steps toward giving Facebook users more transparency and control when it comes to how the information they post to Facebook is shared, and more power to take their Facebook data with them if they ever choose to leave the service. While Facebook has taken some good steps here, and we recognize that this is just the first iteration of the new features, we do have several additional recommendations, noted below. We will continue to dialogue with Facebook on these issues.
Last week, we questioned whether Sarah Palin may have violated Facebook's terms of use by using a ghostwriter to update her profile. We also criticized Facebook's attempts to enforce those terms with state and federal computer crime laws — which carry both civil and criminal penalties — in Facebook v. Power Ventures.
As we explained, it's dangerous for a website to claim that users who breach its terms of use also violate computer crime law. Facebook users can easily make uncontroversial choices that nevertheless violate the plain meaning of Facebook's terms. Furthermore, Facebook shouldn't have the discretion to criminalize certain behavior just by forbidding it in terms of use.

An Introductory Course on Mathematical Game Theory - Julio Gonzalez-Diaz, Ignacio Garcia-Jurado and M Gloria Fiestras-Janeiro
The Game of Cops and Robbers on Graphs - Anthony Bonato and Richard J Nowakowski
It is wonderful to see advanced combinatorial game theory made accessible. Siegel's expertise and enjoyable writing style make this book a perfect resource for anyone wanting to learn the latest developments and open problems in the field.
--Erik Demaine, MIT
Aaron Siegel has been the major contributor to Combinatorial Game Theory over the last decade or so. Now, in this authoritative work, he has made the latest results in the theory accessible, so that the subject will achieve the place in mathematics that it deserves.
--Richard Guy, University of Calgary
Combinatorial game theory is the study of two-player games with no hidden information and no chance elements. The theory assigns algebraic values to positions in such games and seeks to quantify the algebraic and combinatorial structure of their interactions. Its modern form was introduced thirty years ago, with the publication of the classic Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays by Berlekamp, Conway, and Guy, and interest has rapidly increased in recent decades.
This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the subject, tracing its development from first principles and examples through many of its most recent advances. Roughly half the book is devoted to a rigorous treatment of the classical theory; the remaining material is an in-depth presentation of topics that appear for the first time in textbook form, including the theory of misère quotients and Berlekamp's generalized temperature theory.
Packed with hundreds of examples and exercises and meticulously cross-referenced, Combinatorial Game Theory will appeal equally to students, instructors, and research professionals. More than forty open problems and conjectures are mentioned in the text, highlighting the many mysteries that still remain in this young and exciting field.
Aaron Siegel holds a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley and has held positions at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and the Institute for Advanced Study. He was a partner at Berkeley Quantitative, a technology-driven hedge fund, and is presently employed by Twitter, Inc.

Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in combinatorial game theory.
"The author has kept the tone of the book light and infused it with history, anecdotes, and important observations making it an entertaining and as well an educational read."
-- MAA Reviews
"For those wishing to know about combinatorial games in depth this is the book to read. ... Aaron Siegel is currently the strongest researcher in the field and has been involved with many of the central developments. In this book, he has brought them together. Moreover, he includes asides and details that explain how and why certain directions were taken; important insights from an expert. ... [He] has kept the tone of the book light and infused it with history, anecdotes, and important observations making it an entertaining as well as an educational read."

This is the successor to the MC-303 and is now much more advanced. Its sounds will be familiar to any techno-head.
The LFO and resonant filters allow quick and easy sound manipulation. The new D-Beam allows you to randomly tweak your sounds by passing your hand over an infrared beam! It has a great sequencer for building your songs (with groove quantizing and part level faders for mixing) as well as many idea catchers like the phrase sampler and arpeggiator.
This is an all-in-one music machine that's great for DJ's or anybody else who wants to create slamming dance tracks. Designed as a stand alone machine, they do not work quite as well when incorporated into a multi-synth keyboard rig. It's perfect for beginners and advanced users, but offers the most possibility to those who will use it exclusively. By the way, in comparison to the MC-303, this is far better especially in the quality and quantity of sounds! It is used by Beck, Chicks On Speed, Peaches, Freddy Fresh, and Cibo Matto.

|The Return of the Archons
|Stunt double
|Lieutenant Sulu and Lieutenant O'Neil are investigating the planet Beta III. The starship Archon was lost at the plent a century ago, and Starfleet has never been there since. However, the pair were discovered as outsiders amongst the population and forced to flee. Sulu is fired at by some sort of staff weapon as he beams out, arriving on the ship with an oddly docile manner.
Captain Kirk beams down with Spock, McCoy, Lindstrom, Leslie and Galloway to investigate what has happened. They find the whole population acting rather like Sulu; walking around in a kind of docile mindless daze. However, as "the red hour" arrives everybody launches in an instant into "the festival", a period of debauched rioting. Hiding from the crowds the landing party take shelter with Reger, renting a room. In the morning the festival ends, and in a moment everybody reverts to a docile placidity again. Their questions about the festival make Reger realise that they are not "of the body", and he asks if they are "Archons". As they talk a pair of lawgivers arrive, robed figures bearing the weapon used on Sulu earlier. The lawgivers demand that Kirk and the party accompany them to be "absorbed", and appear confused and at a loss as to what to do when he refuses.
Reger takes them to a safe place, but on the way the population begin to attack them - with Lieutenant O'Neil amongst them. They use phasers to stun the crowds and escape. Reger explains some of their history; the planet is ruled by Landru, who controls everyone's mind to make them docile and obedient - of the body, as it is called. Anybody who is not of the body can be absorbed by Landru, overcoming their mind. In the past the Archons came to the planet, but their ship was pulled from the sky and they were either killed or absorbed by Landru.
Hearing this, Kirk contacts the Enterprise and finds that powerful heat beams are being fired at the ship from the planet. The shields are holding up to it, but it is taking all of the ship's power - with nothing for engines, escape is impossible and the orbit is steadily decaying. Unless the beams can be terminated at the source, the ship is doomed.
Landrus is able to home in on the communicator signal and the landing party are stunned and captured. They wake in a cell, with McCoy, Galloway and O'Neil missing. McCoy returns, displaying the same docile placidity of the others - he has been absorbed. Kirk is taken next, then Spock. However, they have more luck than McCoy - the priest who runs the absorption process, Marplon, is a rebel who works against Landru. He faked both Kirk and Spock's absorption, leaving their minds intact.
Back in the cell Kirk and Spock talk about the situation. They cannot believe that Landru is a person, suspecting that the society is arranged along machine lines. Kirk is determined to destroy the machine, though Spock worries that this might be a violation of the Prime Directive. Kirk argues that the prime directive in intended to apply to living, growing cultures rather than stagnant cultures like this one.
Marplon takes Kirk and Spock to a chamber called the Hall of Audiences, where a projection of Landru appears to his followers. Kirk blasts through a wall and finds that Landru is in fact an ancient computer system which has been running Beta III. Kirk is able to convince the computer system that in stifling creativity it is harming rather than helping the inhabitants, thus provoking it into destroying itself. The ship is saved, and Kirk leaves a team of specialists behind to help in rebuilding the planet's society.

|Native stunt double
|The Enterprise is visiting the planet Gamma Trianguli VI. A landing party finds the planet to be a paradise, with a planetwide warm climate. However, a call from Scotty on the ship brings trouble - the ship is experiencing a minor problem with the antimatter pods, possibly related to abnormalities in the magnetic field of the planet itself. Spock's tricorder detects underground vibrations coming from all directions, vibrations which he thinks are artificially produced. As the landing party scouts around they detect a life form nearby, apparently somebody watching them.
They proceed towards a nearby village, but along the way the planet offers up a few surprises. A rock explodes when tossed to the ground; a plant fires poison darts; a freak storm suddenly blows up and Spock is struck by lightning. It appears that Gamma Trianguli VI is not so pleasant a place after all!
Meanwhile on the Enterprise, the problem becomes worse - the antimatter pods have become completely inert, as if some external force had extinguished them. Without main power the ship is all but helpless and unable to beam the landing party up.
They reach the village, although two of the landing party are killed on the way by the planets strange dangers. Kirk manages to capture the native who is watching them, and they demand to know what is going on. The man claims to be the "leader of the feeders of Vaal." They continue on to the village with the man, who is named Akuta. He agrees to take them to Vaal - which proves to be a giant stone head reminiscent of a reptile. The head is surrounded by a powerful forcefield, making any approach impossible. They go back to the village to rest. Kirk notes that there are no children there - prompting confusion from the natives, who apparently have no idea what children are. Vaal, they say, has forbidden men and women to touch one another, and there is no reproduction allowed - much to McCoy's disgust. The Doctor scans the people and finds every one of them to be in perfect health, without any sign of ageing amongst them.
Vaal calls the villagers, and they bring supplies of food to place inside the head - the forcefield apparently allowing them in to feed their god. Kirk ponders whether Vaal might become weaker if it is denied the regular influx of food. Kirk and McCoy seem determined to destroy Vaal, claiming that it is stifling the right of the natives to a "free and unchained environment" and any chance to grow and develop as a culture. Spock warns that they are simply applying human standards to a culture which they may not apply to - the villagers surely have the right to choose a system that clearly works to provide them with long term stability.
Scotty reports that they are detecting a steady decrease in Vaal's power readings, possibly a result of the food being used up. He is working to boost the output of the ship's impulse engines, though this will take a good eight hours to accomplish. In not much longer than that the ship will fall into the atmosphere and burn up.
In the village, two of the natives observe Chekov kissing one of his female comrades and become curious as to what it is like. This apparently angers Vaal, who communicates with Akuta to tell him to kill the landing party. Vaal provides instructions on how to use violence, and the natives mount an attack. However, although one of the Enterprise crew is killed the natives are quickly defeated.
Scotty manages to complete his modifications and boost the ship into a slightly higher orbit, but he only gains an extra hour or so. Kirk decides to starve Vaal in an attempt to weaken it, and then orders the ship to direct a phaser barrage at the force field around it. Vaal is forced to expend its remaining energy to defend against the attack, and becomes inert. Without the field affecting the ship, full power is quickly restored.
Kirk tells the natives that the Federation will provide them with assistance until they can cope with life on their own. Although Spock expresses some concern with their actions the Captain is happy at the outcome, and the ship proceeds on course.

VOCM Open Line host Randy Simms offered an unqualified apology off the top of his show this morning for his blow-up Tuesday over Innu plans to continue hunting George River caribou in Labrador, despite a provincial ban.
Simms said he "broke his own rule" by attacking a guest personally, rather than sticking to the debate.
(Earlier story)
VOCM Open Line host Randy Simms says he regrets how an exchange went Tuesday with Natuashish Innu Band Chief Simeon Tshakapesh, though he is unapologetic for his opinion on the topic that led to the debate.
The argument between the two began as a result of a statement made by Tshakapesh that he will continue to hunt George River caribou despite a five-year ban on the herd announced Monday by the provincial government. The ban came as a result of a drastic caribou population drop, but Tshakapesh has the support of Prote Poker, grand chief of the Innu Nation, who said the Innu people support conservation, but don't support a total ban on hunting the herd and will not agree to it.
While talking to Tshakapesh on Open Line, Simms called both Tshakapesh and Poker "stupid" for saying they will continue to hunt a herd that is reportedly in so much trouble .
"I said you're stupid and you are, you know that, right? I think this Prote Poker guy as well, also stupid," Simms said to Tshakapesh on air.
From there the conversation deteriorated further with Simms telling the Innu chief "don't be an idiot," Tshakapesh calling Simms racist, and Simms eventually hanging up on him after the grand finale of calling the chief an "arsehole."
When asked by The Telegram later that day if he regretted what had happened, Simms said he did.
"I do, actually. Because I violated my own rule. In going back and listening to it and everything else, I'm satisfied I violated my own rule.
"My rule has basically been that when I do these things, I do them in the form of a debate. A debate about issues. A debate about actions.
"That I would allow a conversation to descend into name-calling, and I was one of the principal name-callers ... I'm not very happy with myself about that," Simms said.
Simms was clear not to confuse his remorse on the handling of the call with his lack thereof for his stance on Tshakapesh's declaration to continue the hunt of the George River herd.
"That is not to say that I believe that the issue or that my position on the issue is incorrect. It is not," he said.
"To say that you intend to hunt that herd is unbelievably over the top. I hold true to my position on that," said Simms.
Simms said he let the situation get away from him.
"It's not so much that I feel so strongly about that particular issue. It's that I look at things that make no sense and I get a little passionate about that stuff, you know," he said.
"Every now and again somebody will come up with something or will suggest something that is just off the wall, and you kinda label that and say, you know what, that action or that idea or that statement is stupid. And that's one thing to say. I have no problem with that. But to then characterize the person as stupid? That's not appropriate and I violated my own kind of code there and I intend to correct that."
Simms said he will address what happened on the show this morning, but didn't go so far as to say he will apologize to Tshakapesh.
An apology won't be of any value as far as he's concerned anyway, Tshakapesh told The Telegram.
"What I want is for him to be removed from VOCM."
Tshakapesh went on to say that the incident with Simms was just an example of a bigger problem in Newfoundland and Labrador of the province having problems with the Innu Nation, but he sees this incident as a point of no return, and says the Innu Nation will make a stance.
"It's too much. It's too much," said Tshakapesh. "There's a provincial court here. I will be asking them to vacate our buildings."
He added they will have to hold court in Natuashish somewhere else.
There is a plan for Tshakapesh to fly to Happy Valley-Goose Bay at 7 a.m. this morning with Poker and all the other Innu leaders for a meeting in Sheshatshiu.
"There's a big meeting gonna happen and something is going up. That's all I can say. Idle No More movement is coming to Labrador, I guess."
Tshakapesh also said he's talking to his lawyers, along with the grand chief, about the argument with Simms.
Open Line airs at 9 a.m. on VOCM. Following Simms' argument with Tshakapesh, another followed with another caller on the same issue. Both can be heard on youtube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtyfwIydeTE.

South Kordofan, Sudan: Humanitarian assistance remains extremely limited
From 22-24 June, sporadic air strikes and artillery shelling by Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) continued in South Kordofan, particularly around the eastern and southern parts of the Nuba Mountains. According to the latest OCHA situation report, one woman was killed and four people, including two children, were wounded in an aerial attack on Kauda on 22 June.
Some of the local markets are open in Kadugli, and there are reports that public transportation has partially resumed along the main road to El Obeid.
However, humanitarian workers are still unable to freely access people in need in Kadugli, including the 7,000 people who had been sheltering outside the UNMIS base and who were instructed by authorities to return to town. Access to this group for monitoring and assessment continues to be denied, despite clear indications that authorities used coercion to expedite their return to Kadugli.
On 22 June, the Humanitarian Coordinator Mr. Georg Charpentier visited Kadugli and met with the Governor of South Kordofan. He expressed concern about the humanitarian situation and requested humanitarian access to displaced people. The Governor said the policy was for such assistance to be channeled through local NGOs such as the Sudanese Red Crescent Society, but agreed that humanitarian workers would be given access to oversee and participate in the response.

Wish someone would of tole me this before trying to reset everything on my old jail broken iPhone prior to selling it! Had to take a train to my local apple store to get them to restore the sucker.
But yeah, this tweak does seem pretty redundant if the person knows enough to actually want this.
Easiest thing, don't go to that page in settings...
actually its quite a handy little "tweak" as i have in the past hit one of those randomly tapping away and completely buggering up my jb device.
i never understood why apple decided to stick them at the top of the list rather than putting them some where scroll needed and out the way.
I guess you guys don't get the point of why I wrote this so let me just spell it out.
1. It educates everyone that using those reset buttons is a bad thing. There has been countless times on various irc networks where people would complain that they used a reset then their device wouldn't boot only because they weren't aware that it wipes various things that gets moved around when you jailbreak.
2. It's only meant to be extra protection from "accidently" hitting the wrong button. If you do need or want access to those buttons either go into safe mode then the buttons will be enabled or uninstall the tweak.
As a side note. just because a tweak doesn't fit your needs doesn't make it a dumb tweak. Yes there are some "dumb" tweaks but there is no reason to go bashing something that doesn't fit your needs. For those who have installed this has provided me positive feedback and has thanked me for providing such a tweak. Even those who are already aware that the reset buttons are bad to use they still like the extra just in case protection.
this tweak is great. infact, every jailbreak should implement this by default. there are many people out there who would have NO IDEA that using those reset buttons whilst jailbroken will require a restore. how are people supposed to know? theres no warning in the jailbreak app readme files..no pop ups..the only way people can know is by experience, word from another jailbreaker or this article (and it's respective tweak). I commend the dev for this tweak. it is a must for /every/ rookie jailbreaker. I'm even going to install incase one of my mates tries to screw with me..
Don't those buttons pop up a confirmation dialog (with a big red button) in case you accidentally hit one?
FACT! People who need this tweak are too dumb to have a jailbroken iPhone.
Reset All Settings does NOT erase your jailbreak. I just recently used it when my phone wasn't connecting properly to the 3G server..
Sometimes iPhones loose the ability to send data over 3G when a preference file gets corrupted, and Reset All Settings is the only way to fix it if Reset Network Settings doesn't work.
And you have to tap the big red button TWICE for it to go through!
Note: iPod Touch and iPhone has red buttons that pop up to confirm that you want to do this.. The iPad has normal navy-blue dialogue buttons that come up, but you still have to confirm TWICE!!
Someone really wasted their time with this tweak...
You must be holding it wrong...
