Walker open to meaningful tweaks to mining bill
Republicans: Mining could create thousands of jobs
MADISON, Wis. - Gov. Scott Walker said he's open to tweaking last year's failed mining bill, as long as the new bill leads to an actual mining company doing business in Wisconsin.
Walker said Wednesday that any changes to the bill that passed the state Assembly but failed in the Senate last year would have to lead to the creation of jobs.
Florida-based Gogebic Taconite is still interested in building a mine south of Lake Superior, creating 2,800 permanent jobs at the site and at supporting businesses around the state, Walker said.
"They were frustrated last year when we had people from out of state spending money trying to shut the process down because of the politics and the recall," he said.
Earlier Wednesday, Assembly Republican leaders said the first bill they'll introduce this session will reform Wisconsin's mining laws.
Speaker Robin Vos and Majority Leader Scott Suder called the bill a top priority. They said the measure will help bring thousands of jobs to the state but didn't offer any details on what changes the bill might make.
Lawmakers who opposed a majority of Republicans' efforts on mining last year said they were hopeful that experience would lead to bipartisanship this year.
"If they ram it through without any changes (from last year), that's a pretty clear statement that they don't have any interest in bipartisanship," said Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, who helped lead public hearings on the bill last spring during the legislative debate.
He said similar legislation would "be in lawsuits for years and years. The only jobs that will be created with their bill will be more lawyers."
Republicans pushed the mining bill during the last session to help Gogebic Taconite open a huge iron mine near Lake Superior. Company officials have promised the mine would create 700 jobs in the economically depressed region, but want legislators to ease the regulatory path.
Environmentalists, though, insisted the project would devastate the pristine area. The bill ultimately died in the Senate, where Republicans held only a one-seat majority.
This year, the GOP has bolstered its ranks in the Senate to a two-seat advantage. Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, who opposed the bill last year, said he hadn't seen the new Assembly version and would "take them at their word" about wanting to work together.
"I really can't say without seeing the bill," he said. "People have learned to talk about bipartisanship and then they say privately, well you don't really have to do it, you just have to talk about it."Walker open to meaningful tweaks to mining bill
Schultz said he remained committed to creating jobs, but not at the expense of the environment.
Separately from the Assembly bill that lawmakers could file as early as Monday, legislation is being crafted in the Senate.
Sen.-elect Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, said he would author a bill in mid-January that would balance environmental standards with more certainty for mining companies that apply for permits.
He said his legislation would be based off last year's bill but would consider the public testimony lawmakers heard.
Tiffany would not say specifically how the bill would be different than one he championed as a member of the Assembly a year ago.
"It was not perfect. No bill is perfect," Tiffany said. "We're working on making a better bill."
Walker on Wednesday toured three companies in Schofield, Green Bay and Milwaukee that make equipment for mining.
"Clean air, clean water and clean land standards are still intact," Walker said at his Green Bay stop. "What it does is put in place a process that is streamlined and makes it easier for them to invest the money."

Blog | Journalist Assistance, Syria
In its new series, "Supporting journalists at risk," CPJ profiles journalists who have been in dire situations as a result of persecution for their work. CPJ's Journalist Assistance program has helped these journalists, and hundreds of others, through a combination of financial and non-financial assistance.
In this edition, CPJ recounts how 26-year-old Syrian Rifaie Tammas fled his country in 2013 following the threat of detention by the Syrian government. Today, Tammas has established a new life in Turkey.
It's been exactly two years since citizen photojournalist Osama al-Habaly disappeared into regime custody as he crossed from Lebanon back to his home country of Syria. His friends and colleagues tell CPJ they have not heard a definitive word about him since.

New York, April 30, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists is deeply concerned about the well-being of two European journalists who went missing in western Syria three weeks ago. News reports identified the journalists as Domenico Quirico, a veteran reporter for the Italian daily La Stampa, and Pierre Piccinin da Prata, a Belgian academic and freelance writer, although the accounts did not say if the two were traveling together.
New York, March 11, 2013--A Ukrainian journalist reportedly held by rebel forces in Syria since October is free, according to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and news reports citing the journalist's relatives. Most news reports characterized Anhar Kochneva as having fled her captors, but few details were reported about the circumstances.

Murder is the leading cause of work-related deaths among journalists worldwide--and this year was no exception. But the death toll in 2012 continued a recent shift in the nature of journalist fatalities worldwide. More journalists were killed in combat situations in 2012 than in any year since 1992, when CPJ began keeping detailed records.
Blog | Bahrain, Somalia, Syria
The 17-year-old videographer Anas al-Tarsha regularly filmed clashes and military movements in the city of Homs in Syria, and posted the footage on YouTube. On February 24, he was killed by a mortar round while filming the bombardment of the city's Qarabees district, according to news reports. The central city had been under attack for more than three weeks as Syrian forces stepped up their assault on opposition strongholds.
Cairo, June 8, 2012--Five citizen journalists have been killed in Syria while documenting unrest in Damascus and Homs, according to news reports and local journalists. All of the deaths occurred over a two-day period at the end of May.
New York, March, 1, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the news that two French journalists injured in Homs last week have reached safety in Lebanon. "We are relieved that Edith Bouvier and William Daniels are now safe but are concerned that the Syrian government's assault on Homs has made it impossible to retrieve the bodies of our colleagues Marie Colvin and Rémi Ochlik," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "We remain deeply concerned for the safety of all Syrian journalists who are risking their lives to report on the unrest across the country."

Miniature Monday #36: Dollar Store Wooden Chairs
A few weeks back, I was browsing through the crafts section of a local Dollarama when I spotted these wooden chairs. They seemed to be to scale with my fashion dolls so I was instantly inspired to paint. I had purchased cans of wood stain for projects that had yet to transpire and the wooden chairs were a perfect reminder that I hadn't done anything crafty lately.
One of the wood finishes that I had was in dark walnut. I had to gloss it separately, while the one I had in mahogany was a 2 in 1 deal, where it automatically dried glossy.
I found it easier to work with the dark walnut stain. I just felt like I was in better control of the staining process. The mahogany one was thicker because the sealant was mixed with the stain so the wood didn't absorb it as well as I had wanted it to. It was much faster, however, as I skipped one drying step.
Overall, I prefer the mahogany chair. It was just a richer color. And even though, I made many booboos with it, using the wrong brush and over staining, etc. I think the end result looks kinda cool. Very rustic.
Happy Monday!

Oh, very nice! I like both finishes, but the mahogany one does look richer.ReplyDelete
They both look very nice - in fact, I couldn't say which was my favourite.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. I have a few more of these chairs and I'm wondering whether I should continue with the rustic look or the neater walnut.Delete
Hello from Spain: the chair is very nice and cheap. Your doing great job painting the chair. The mahogany color is more elegant. Keep in touchReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Marta. Always a pleasure to see you here!Delete
Nice find! Both turned out really nice. Staining can be such a pain.ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi was a very nice bloke shame my wife had a car acerdent great price
Very poor job done. I asked them to investigate wiring issue and to look for damaged wiring ect. They barely looked at the car. They plugged the car in and told me it couldn't read the ecu!!! Well that's the exact reason it was down with you!! They told me possibly a whole wiring loom at the cost of hundreds. Turned out after having a second opinion it was just a broken wire and was fixed easily. These people give mechanics a bad name! I would not recommend this garage this website won't let me unstuck the box!!!!!!
very disappointed! they fixed my car in May, I paid over £ 1000 for that. I paid them very quickly. one month later i received a parking notice, £ 80 to be paid because they didn't pay for the parking ticket. I called the garage and was told to pay for it and forward them the notice in order to be refunded. so i did it. I never received this money!!! I've been calling them every week, they said they transferred the money last week, but still no money in my account. I called them yesterday (today is the 28th August) and they said they were calling me back, of course this didn't happen. I find it ridicolous, I paid over 1000 pounds in 2 days and now I've been chasing them for £ 80, after 2 months they are still not refunding me. no reply to my emails, no calls back as promised, no money. will never and ever go back to them to fix my car.
Garage did exactly what I asked of them Very convenient timing and easy access to leave vehicle at a time that suited me Would come back and would recommend
A professional and quick service would 100% recommend this garage!
Service completed. recommended some other work that needed to be done, but not immediately mandatory.
Unfortunately I never heard back from the garage when trying to book my car in for its MOT.
They are friendly, they care the customer with very good customer service
They are friendly, they care the customer with very good customer service
Very Good customer service. They dealt with my Citroen C5 A/C problems, they carried out regasing and other fault diagnosis. It's a shame they did not have an adapter needed to do my wheel balancing as the wheel hub is bigger than the equipment they have. I hope that they invest in that kit as they are a good garage. Recommended.
Very polite and informative staff. Work carried out quickly and explanations of what was done was carried out in a easy and understandable way.

About Me
My dual expertise in body imaging and interventional radiology enables me to fill a distinctive position in the Radiology Department at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I am one of a very few in the department to combine diagnostic with interventional responsibilities. My hospital work reaches into three areas: performing basic diagnostic exams using ultrasound; performing interventional (IR) procedures and biopsies under the guidance of ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy; and doing intraoperative, image-guided procedures in the operating room.
When I joined the Memorial Sloan Kettering faculty in January 2008, the only ultrasound-guided biopsies performed were of the thyroid. Since then, I have extended this service to include biopsies of the abdomen, pelvis, musculoskeletal organs, and lymph nodes. I have also initiated a program of transvaginal ultrasound-guided biopsies. Ultrasound-guided biopsies often provide a safer, quicker, more-comfortable experience for the patient, with a quicker recovery time, than when CT and fluoroscope guidance is required.
I further use transvaginal and transrectal ultrasound to guide IR procedures in the operating room. I work closely with gynecologists in the operating room to rebuild the cervical canal in patients with cervical cancer, thereby facilitating pregnancy and monitoring of the uterus.
In the research realm, I am fine-tuning fusion techniques in which ultrasound, CT, and MRI images are correlated and superimposed one on top of the other to pinpoint lesions with great precision. I am also investigating the utility of elastography, which employs the principle that cancerous tissue is stiffer than normal tissue, with the end-goal of minimizing unnecessary biopsies. These techniques have useful implications in the operating room in providing guidance for tumor ablation, pelvic lymph node dissection, and prostate surgery.
Administratively, I am currently an active member of the Hepatobiliary Disease Management Team at Memorial Sloan Kettering and also serve on the Department of Radiology Research and Quality Assurance Committees. I also received the 2013 Clinical Excellence Award from the Department of Radiology for my work.
Above all, I continue to seek ways to use radiology techniques in order to enhance patient comfort and well- being.

Also, as per Task G, I've hit the Follow button on those blogs that have one, as well as subscribing via Google Reader. Two of the ones I visited were Me and My Ancestors and My Ancestors and Me. How funny is that! Task B completed (four entries at Find-A-Grave!). For Task E, I've renewed my registration at Family Search Indexing and completed my first batch for 2010, a hellacious page of the 1910 Michigan census, which I chose because I figured I would recognize a lot of Michigan names even if the handwriting was bad. So I hereby apologize to all the Italian, Finnish and Norwegian researchers out there who hope to find their Gogebic ancestors. Good luck with that!

Western biopharma firms – Trying to catch the Chinese dragon by its tail
Biopharma firms, which are located on the western part of the globe, are keeping a close watch on the dragon nation, with hopes that they can leverage on the potential that China has to offer in 2013.
This is evident from the fact that within a span of 60 days, (during November and December 2012) biopharmaceutical companies belonging to the domains of manufacturing, drug discovery and clinical services, have shown pertinent interest in expanding their presence in China.
In November 2012, US-based Thermo Fisher Scientific opened its new manufacturing facility in Suzhou for sciences consumables and equipment. While expanding its manufacturing footprint, the company is also strengthening its local production capabilities to meet increased customer demand in China and other Asia Pacific markets. The company has invested nearly $20 million in a 12,000 square meter Suzhou plant, which would employ around 150 employees.
"China is one of our fastest-growing markets and has been a key contributor to our success," mentioned Mr Marc N Casper, president and CEO, Thermo Fisher Scientific, while announcing the plan. "The Suzhou facility builds on our well-established presence in China and is an important next step as we closely align our depth of capabilities with China's five-year-plan to develop strategic industries, including pharmaceutical and healthcare among others."
Furthermore, PerkinElmer acquired Shanghai Haoyuan Biotech, a China-based infectious disease diagnostics company at $38 million, during November 2012. The acquisition extends PerkinElmer's capabilities into nucleic acid blood screening and in the growing molecular clinical diagnostics market in China.
It is also reported that US-based ConjuChem, which is engaged in discovery of novel therapeutics, formed a joint venture (JV) with China's Changshan Pharma, valued at $3 million. Similarly, US-based Promega opened its new facility in Shanghai for its China operations that provides additional R&D and cGMP manufacturing capabilities for molecular diagnostics products for the Chinese market.

Navy Women's Fencing Team Wins National Championship

Navy Women's Fencing Team Wins National Championship
Story by: Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jonathan L. Correa
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Navy's women fencing team won first place at the U.S. Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs national championship in Knoxville, Tenn., April 6.
Forty schools were represented with more than 700 fencers participating in this year's USACFC National Championships, which was hosted by the Knoxville Convention Center and is the world's largest collegiate fencing competition.
The Navy's fencing team was up against teams from very large schools, such as Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Indiana, and New Hampshire, and against talented teams from smaller schools, such as Dartmouth and Army.
"This was our first team championship, and our highest finish as a combined team, since Navy began participating in the USACFC Nationals in 2004," said Capt. Emil Petruncio, head coach and officer representative of the fencing team.
This year the men and women's team defended their title as the Southern Atlantic Conference champions at the 2014 tournament hosted by the University of Georgia on March 22-23.
"I couldn't be prouder of the way our men's and women's teams performed this year," said Petruncio. "They supported each other in practice, with experienced fencers helping to develop the new fencers, and at tournaments, sharing information about opponents and encouraging each other throughout each bout."
The Navy fielded 3-person squads in each weapon portion of the competition: the epee, the foil, and the saber.
Petruncio believes much of the credit goes to the team's volunteer coaches Kaz Campe (epee), Jim Adams (foil), and Phil Sbarbaro (saber), as well as their three-weapon coach, fencing master Janusz Smolenski.
"I was hoping for one or more of our weapon squads to win a trophy by finishing in the top three places, but I did not expect a team championship," said Petruncio.
Individual medals were awarded to the top eight fencers in each weapon in the individual competition: Midshipmen 4th Class Allen Wang (3rd, saber), Midshipmen 2nd Class Conor Cross (5th, epee), Midshipmen 3rd Class Alex Shilakis (7th, foil), and Midshipmen 1st Class Jordan Rettie (8th, saber).
This was the first club-level national fencing championship for Navy since Navy won NCAA team championships in 1950, 1959 and 1962.

Deeplinks Blog posts about EFF Europe
When technological change disrupts industries, they can respond in one of two ways. First, they can adapt to this change by delivering innovative new products, even if this means cannibalizing their older products. This shift of the mapping industry from producing printed street maps to providing data for GPS devices is a good example. This is not to say that individual companies necessarily survived the shift, but the industry as a whole—and consumers—are better off for having moved on from established business models to embrace new technological possibilities.
Coordinated enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights—copyright, patents and trade marks—has been an elusive goal for Europe. Back in 2005, the European Commission struggled to introduce a directive known as IPRED2 that would criminalize commercial-scale IP infringements, but abandoned the attempt in 2010 due to jurisdictional problems. IP maximalists took another run at it through ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, but that misguided treaty was roundly defeated in 2012 when the European Parliament rejected it, 478 votes to 39.
What Does Copyright Have to Do With "Free Trade"? Unpicking the Undemocratic Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
Democracy makes the job of our trade negotiators much harder. The light of democratic oversight makes it difficult for them to pander to the incessant demands of industry lobbyists, while ignoring the broader public interest. And the transparency that is central to democratic systems of governments impedes their efforts to hide what they are doing behind closed doors.
Tell Europe your views on CopyrightThe European Commission's open consultation on copyright ends in less than a week on Mar. 5. It's a rare and important opportunity for anyone who uses the Internet— whether you are a student or artists, librarian or entrepreneur— to influence the future of innovation policy in the region.
The 80 question "Public Consultation on the Review of the EU Copyright Rules" can be dizzying to tackle on its own, but there are several easy-to-use platforms that can help anyone with navigating the survey.
Three major British privacy organizations on Thursday launched an important legal challenge to the United Kingdom's participation in the massive global surveillance scandal. To support the case as an expert witness, I submitted a 32-page statement laying out much that is publicly known about the National Security Agency's PRISM and UPSTREAM programs, and explained how US law offers no protections for non-US persons against spying by the agency.

Could you tell me the wallpaper you use for the screenshot in this post?
I installed Forecast and now the music controls do not appear when pressing the home button twice on the lockscreen. Is anyone having the same issue?
I installed it, worked great for a minute or two. After that when I went to my lock screen it would show just one day of weather and that day was magnified. I swiped at the lock screen and every day was like that and my time was magnified too. Didn't notice if iPod controls were gone or not....long story short, I uninstalled. Looked great at first but turned out to be crap in the end.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA Rulemaking
Videogame Publishers: No Preserving Abandoned Games, Even for Museums and Archives, Because All "Hacking" is Illegal
The Entertainment Software Association doesn't want anyone to restore the functionality of older videogames that are no longer supported by their publisher, because, says ESA, this is "hacking," and all hacking is "associated with piracy."
As the devices in our homes get "smarter," are they also going to spy on us? That question has led to one sentence in Samsung's SmartTV privacy policy getting a lot of attention lately:
Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition.
The comparisons to 1984's two-way "telescreens" are straightforward. This kind of language suggests that while you're watching TV, Big Brother may be watching (or listening to) you. Samsung has taken to its blog for an explanation and edited the policy, but that has not assuaged everybody's concerns.
When you buy a video game, you expect to be able to play it for as long as you want. You expect be able to play it with your kids many years from now if you want (well, maybe not Grand Theft Auto). And you would hope that museums and media historians could preserve the games that were so important to your childhood. But unfortunately, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's anti-circumvention provisions (17 U.S.C. § 1201, or Section 1201) creates legal risks for players who want to keep playing after game servers shut down, and curators who want to preserve games for posterity. That's why I'm spearheading an effort to win legal protection for game enthusiasts and preservationists who want to keep abandoned games alive by running multiplayer servers or eliminating authentication mechanisms.
If there's anything creepier than a drone flying up to your home and peering through your window, it's the thought of your technology—your cellphone, laptop camera, car radio, or even an implanted medical device—being turned on you for an even more intimate view of your private life. But the reaction last week to a drunken government intelligence agent borrowing his buddy's drone and crashing it into the White House lawn is a reminder that shortsighted solutions to the first problem could exacerbate the second.
As the White House reacted to the drone crash with a call for more regulation, the manufacturer of the downed quadcopter announced it would push a firmware update to all its units in the field, permanently preventing those drones from taking off or flying within 25km of downtown Washington DC.
Telling users how to strip the DRM from their legally purchased ebooks is not contributory copyright infringement, according to a ruling last month by a federal judge in New York. Judge Denise Cote dismissed two publishers' claims of contributory infringement and inducement in Abbey House Media v. Apple Inc., one of the many cases to come out of the antitrust litigation against Apple and a handful of major publishers.

Another collection that is accorded special housing is that of books bound by American bookbinders. These volumes come from four principal sources, Isaiah Thomas, Michael Papantonio, Kenneth G. Leach, and George T. Goodspeed. Thomas had the books in his library beautifully bound up for his own pleasure. Michael Papantonio, 150 years later, began to collect books bound in America during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries for his own pleasure. Not only are the books handsome to look at, but many are of outstanding importance as historical or literary works. The greatest binding in the collection is that done by John Ratcliff for the Boston merchant Thomas Deane. It appears on Nathaniel Morton's New Englands Memoriall (Cambridge, Mass., 1669) and came from the Papantonio Collection.
But bindings on books have more than aesthetic importance. They, like other examples of the decorative arts, have a good deal to tell us about the taste and world views of original owners and the milieu from which they sprang. This aspect is particularly evident in the collection of bookbindings made by Kenneth Leach. His collection of some 1,000 volumes, purchased by the Society in 1989, is focused on books in edition bindings as issued by their publishers. Thus the Leach Collection demonstrates the commercial side of the presentation of books to the public rather than, as in the Papantonio Collection, bindings executed according to the tastes of many collectors, or, in the case of Isaiah Thomas's books, books bound to suit the wishes of a single individual.
Such is also the case of the small collection (just over 150 titles) of publishers' bindings created by George T. Goodspeed and given to the Society by his daughter, Carol Goodspeed Smith, upon his death in 1997. The Goodspeed Collection is especially strong in the Ticknor and Fields editions "Books in Blue and Gold" (first issued in 1856 and so called for their characteristic bindings of gold stamped decoration on bright blue cloth), and the imitations of this extremely popular binding style marketed by other publishers. Anyone interested in publishers' bindings will also find notable examples in the Society's collections of Albums and Annuals. The Bindings Collection, when combined with the holdings of "ordinary" bookbindings on the shelves in other collections, presents unparalleled opportunities to students of the American book arts.
Current cataloging practice calls for the inclusion of physical characteristics terms to describe the various elements of bindings on pre-1877 imprints. These terms, some taken from an approved thesaurus and others established locally, allow interested persons to search the online catalog for such charateristics as "Aniline dyed cloth," "Binders' tickets," "Gilt edges," "Gold stamped cloth," and "Gold tooled leather."
Guides to the bindings at the Society are found in Early American Bookbindings from the Collection of Michael Papantonio, 2nd ed. (Worcester, 1985) and in Hannah D. French, Bookbinding in Early America: Seven Essays on Masters and Methods (Worcester, 1986). The Society has published a series of illustrated articles on bindings in its collections in issues of the Proceedings.

I mean, objectively, she's an attractive woman. I guess I've never really thought of her as hot. Maybe because she is always wearing such insane outfits. I think once you reach levels of Michael Jackson-Madonna outlandishness, to me you lose that kind of accessibility that's required to be attracted to someone. It's like being attracted to a cartoon character.
Y'know, I don't really think so. Her appeal is based on something other than attractiveness, like it's based on sorta vaguely avant-garde sexual energy, the otherwordliness of her entire persona...
But yeah, not based on attractiveness. She's kinda Prince-like in that respect, although obviously nowhere nearly as talented or interesting. So yeah, Lady Gaga = crappier Prince, in my mind.
Ed note: WTF, Prince is totally hot.
Not my taste, personally. She just doesn't have that pretty a face. I just like Dominicans and foxy Jewesses, so that's my thing.

I think once you reach levels of Michael Jackson-Madonna outlandishness, to me you lose that kind of accessibility that's required to be attracted to someone. It's like being attracted to a cartoon character.
Matt: I'm not sure if I have a lot to say on the matter. I think the short answer is no, partly based on limited exposure.
Me: Here is a picture of her naked!
Matt: Is that supposed to be a sexy pose? I think I'm more interested in the chair. That looks like a comfy chair.
It's like that thing I've heard attributed to Iggy Pop..."I don't hate you, I don't even think about you." It's not that I find Lady Gaga unsexy, I just never think about Lady Gaga. Whereas as a teenager, I found Madonna videos titillating, and looked forward to them coming on VH1 or something.
I wish I found Lady Gaga hot, because her image is everywhere and she sure seems like an interesting gal. But alas, no. I also wish her sophomore record's singles were as good as the ones on the first one. But alas, nope.
Bob: I definitely do not. I just think her face is not nice to look at.
Me: I haven't talked to a single straight guy who thinks she's hot yet!
Bob: So, here's what I think it might be on top of that.
She has that whole Madonna-ish thing of being kind of a gay/tranny icon and embracing that, dressing up as a dude at the VMAs, etc. That is a bit of a boner-killer.
She obviously has a killer body, but the face is a minus, and her shtick is a turnoff. And this is coming from someone with a big crush on Bjork. I'm down with weirdos.
I have to honestly say that I think Lady Gaga looks like a small, expensive horse, and I wouldn't touch that shit for any amount of money.
Bill: The first thing that came to mind was "If I was playing fuck, marry, kill, I would definitely fuck her." She's got the crazy dirty sex appeal thing going on, but she seems like a volcano of crazy that few men could handle for more than one night. But... that one night would be pretty awesome.
Me: You are the first person who has said they would fuck her!
Bill: That's unfortunate. She's kitschy and not completely original, but she sure puts her shoulder into performing and trying to make people happy and feel good about themselves. There is certainly something sexy about that. I hate to admit I'm growing up, but I guess it's not always about how a girl looks anymore. Plus, I would bet when she's not wearing false spiky cheeks that she looks just fine.
I think Gaga is pretty, although I've heard many guys say otherwise. I happen to love imperfections and she has just enough to be alluring. I think most guys are distracted by her disguises/costumes. She rarely shows her eyes/face, which probably makes sex appeal tougher to provoke. And I don't find her so sexy even though I'm a big fan of haute couture.
To be entirely honest, I think it's necessary to see a person up close to be able to assess their sexual appeal. So much goes into that call: the way they move, the way they look at everything around them, and, of course, a certain dose of that I-don't-know-what, aka chemistry.
As far as I can tell, I don't find her attractive, sexy, or "hot." She doesn't exude sex appeal, as far as I'm concerned. Madonna was much sexier.
I find Lady Gaga attractive! She's kind of androgynous but that's part of the appeal, I think? I also find it hard not to be at least a little attracted to anyone who is clearly very committed to what they do.

September 21, 1999, Portland, Ore. -- It's the same story for thousands of overweight Americans fighting the battle of the bulge. They diet to lose weight, only to regain those extra pounds once they return to their normal eating habits. Now, thanks in part to the work of researchers at Oregon Health Sciences University, the actual neurons involved in coordinating appetite and metabolism control in the brain may have been identified.
Roger Cone, Ph.D., a senior scientist at the Vollum Institute at OHSU, working in collaboration with William Colmers, Ph.D., at the University of Alberta, has discovered one of the mechanisms in the brain that apparently memorizes and regulates a person's weight. The mechanism located in the hypothalamus has been named the adipostat by researchers due to the fact that it essentially acts as a fat thermostat.
Previous studies have already shown how the brain reacts to a change in diet and why losing weight can be a battle for many. "When you lose weight, the body thinks there's something wrong," said Cone. "The body thinks you're undergoing starvation or disease and it initiates a number of responses to prevent you from losing weight and even to help you put weight back on. These responses include a decrease in the metabolic rate and an increase in muscle efficiency to limit energy loss."
For years, scientists have proposed the existence of an adipostat in the brain. But until now, it's mechanism has remained a mystery. Cone and Colmers, aided by an international team of scientists including Michael Cowley, Ph.D., Nina Pronchuk, Ph.D., and Wei Fan, M.D., have identified individual neurons within the hypothalamus with the precise properties of the long-predicted adipostat.
To find the adipostat, researchers traced the routes of two fiber pathways that appear to play a role in feeding and metabolism. Cone compares the process to tracing electrical wires in your home back to the fuse box.
One of the pathways to the adipostat, called the NPY/AGRP, stimulates feeding. The other pathway, called the MSH, inhibits feeding and is involved in the normal maintenance of metabolic rates. Cone and Colmers used miniature electrodes to identify for the first time neurons that could process information from both pathways.
While there is much more to be learned about the body's metabolism controls, this research could lead to medications that can be used to help regulate a patient's weight. For example, a dieting patient might take a drug that resets the body's adipostat to a lower level, making weight loss easier.
"There are a large number of companies working on drugs that stimulate these receptors in the brain because, in theory, they could prevent excessive caloric intake and energy storage," said Cone. "This would allow people to not only lose weight more efficiently, but to keep it off."
Cone and Colmers findings are published in the Sept. 23 edition of the journal Neuron.

Kraft (KFT) has given investors a peek into its North American grocery business, one of the two companies that will emerge when the food giant splits into two.
Kraft is splitting into two new companies — a grocery business and a global snacks business — under the rationale that they can be more nimble and pursue more direct strategies after a divorce. The "grocery" brands include Kraft Cheese, Maxwell House coffee and Oscar Mayer.
The split also gives investors a more direct way to play their own strategies. The grocery business will likely pay a healthy dividend and steadily grow cash flow, while the snacks business could be a more powerful growth engine.
A filing released late on Monday showed that the grocery business made revenue of $18.7 billion in 2011, and brought in $2.3 billion in free cash flow, up from $380 million the year before, Marketwatch notes. But earnings fell 2.5% in 2010, and operating margin slipped as commodity costs rose.
The grocery company will also assume $10 billion in debt and $4.4 billion in pension liabilities.
Clearly, the new business will face the same difficult commodity environment that other food retailers face. But if that free cash flow keeps growing, a healthy dividend might be in store for investors.

Oh, and DNA/ addition of genetic information:
A mechanism that is likely to be particularly common for adding information is gene duplication, in which a long stretch of DNA is copied, followed by point mutations that change one or both of the copies. Genetic sequencing has revealed several instances in which this is likely the origin of some proteins. For example:
Two enzymes in the histidine biosynthesis pathway that are barrel-shaped, structural and sequence evidence suggests, were formed via gene duplication and fusion of two half-barrel ancestors (Lang et al. 2000).
RNASE1, a gene for a pancreatic enzyme, was duplicated, and in langur monkeys one of the copies mutated into RNASE1B, which works better in the more acidic small intestine of the langur. (Zhang et al. 2002)
Yeast was put in a medium with very little sugar. After 450 generations, hexose transport genes had duplicated several times, and some of the duplicated versions had mutated further. (Brown et al. 1998)
The biological literature is full of additional examples. A PubMed search (at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi) on "gene duplication" gives more than 3000 references.

I'm sure you've seen it now. It's here. It's here. It's here. And that's just Dow Jones publications. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't find it in National Geographic Kids when the next issue arrives.
What is it? It's Goldman Sachs' (GS)
ultra-contrarian none-too-shocking call that the stock market is a bit overpriced. Goldman's David Kostin and team explains:
The current valuation of the S&P 500 is lofty by almost any measure, both for the aggregate market as well as the median stock: (1) The P/E ratio; (2) the current P/E expansion cycle; (3) EV/Sales; (4) EV/EBITDA; (5) Free Cash Flow yield; (6) Price/Book as well as the ROE and P/B relationship; and compared with the levels of (6) inflation; (7) nominal 10-year Treasury yields; and (8) real interest rates. Furthermore, the cyclically-adjusted P/E ratio suggests the S&P 500 is currently 30% overvalued in terms of (9) Operating EPS and (10) about 45% overvalued using As Reported earnings.
And, Kostin, warns, the forward multiple probably can't go much higher than the 17 times earnings it's near right now, though he doesn't expect the market to crater anytime soon. The S&P 500 should gain just 3% to 1,900 in 2014, he predicts, before hitting 2,100 at the end of 2015, and 2,200 by the end of 2016. All in all, that's good for a 20% gain over the next three years.
On the surface, the report doesn't seem like that big a deal. Goldman had already made its 1,900 call, and is not that far off from what some other strategists have forecast. Even his prediction that earnings need to grow faster isn't novel. Barclays' Barry Knapp, for instance, warned investors to "curb [their] enthusiasm] in a report released Friday. He writes:
We expect earnings season to be a modest catalyst for stocks; earnings season is typically a short-term boost to markets. However, with rapid valuation multiple expansion alongside peaking sentiment indicators—ISM and macro surprise—we expect a period where the market digests recent multiple expansion as well as tighter financial conditions. As such, given the steep ramp in multiples, we are particularly cautious of growth companies (with rapid PE or PEG expansion), which are particularly prone to asymmetric earnings downside price performance on misses, which could be particularly acute this earnings season given the recent market advance.
Deutsche Bank's David Bianco, meanwhile, warned investors in a report released yesterday, to wait for a pullback before buying. Why? Hmmmm, what could it be?
Happy New Year or should we say Happy Last Year? The S&P soared 29.5% last year (75% on PE, 25% on EPS) and delivered a 32.4% total return, making it the 5th best year since 1960. Despite this extraordinary rally, which greatly exceeded dim consensus expectations at 2013 start and even our bullish view, which we upped in early September, we stay constructive on the S&P longer term. We still expect the S&P to reach 2000, but more likely in 2015 then 2014. Even though 2013 ended at 1848, we reiterate our 2014 end target of 1850 as we're uncomfortable using a target PE above long-term history (~50yrs) until we have more clarity on where 10yr treasury yields settle when QE ends.
In case you missed it, that's 1,850, folks, or little change on the year. And all because of those darn high P/E ratios.
But, hey, it's Goldman, so we have to care. And after a delayed reaction, even the market has decided to agree, Bloomberg implies: the S&P 500 has dropped 1.3% to 1,818.05 at 3:25 p.m. p.m., while the Dow Jones Industrials has fallen 181 points, or 1.1%, to 16,200.
Stifel's Dave Lutz calls retail "the main anchor on the tape today"– and we know what's been happening with retail. Department stores are off about 1.5% as JC Penney (JCP), and Nordstrom (JWN) fall. Momentum stocks like Celgene (CELG), too, are also sagging. Add in a strengthening yen, and falling bond yields, and there you go.

- "This guy's been fucking my brain out all week. He's hung like a rhino."
- ―Sara.
Sara is a random character in Grand Theft Auto IV. She is a woman who seems very concerned about her appearance and the decline of her good looks. She also claims to be a part of the "fashion world" in Liberty City.
Random characters
First encounterSuffolk, Algonquin (which is around the lower half of Algonquin), she asks him for a ride home. She lives in Varsity Heights, because she claims Middle Park East and Suffolk are too "vanilla". She also mentions that she spends $1000 a month on vibrators, because her ex-husband is impotent.
Upon arrival, she introduces him to her ex-husband, telling him that she has been sleeping with Niko and that he's "hung like a rhino". The ex-husband then becomes enraged and starts to attack Niko, at which point the player can beat up the husband, kill him or run away. Niko can just draw a weapon and that will suffice to make the husband go away and complete the mission.
Second encounter
Niko bumps into her again later, for the last time, at Pier 45, in Fishmarket South. She doesn't remember meeting Niko in the previous encounter, so the situation starts awkwardly. Sara asks Niko to go and collect a package from a Perseus store and bring it to her photoshoot.
When Niko asks the Perseus store clerk for the package, he tells him that Niko needs to pay $500 for it, because "that is the way things work there". The player can pay up, scare the clerk into dropping the package, or kill the clerk along with the guard (triggering a two-star wanted level), then pick it up. Whether bought or stolen, deliver the package to her, and Sara will reward you $1000 for the favor.
Mission Appearances
Sara's Random Encounters
- It is possible to kill Sara after her first encounter, however, it doesn't effect the story and she will still appear for her second encounter.
- Like most characters in the game, Sara will don a unique helmet while riding alongside the protagonist on a motorcycle. Her helmet is white with pink spiral stripes.
- Her facial contruction is somewhat identical with Ilyena Faustin's face, without the wrinkles.

What California can teach FERC about transmission planning.
Bruce W. Radford i s publisher of Public Utilities Fortnightly .
What California can teach FERC about transmission planning.
Last month, speaking at an industry conference, the rookie regulator Cheryl LaFleur tabbed FERC's current rulemaking on transmission planning and cost allocation as likely the most important she would see during in her term at the commission.
In that proceeding FERC proposed for the first time to mandate regional planning for grid expansions, fully transparent and open both to incumbent utility transmission owners (TOs) and private grid developers, and to ground this new planning process not only on traditional needs to assure reliability and ease congestion, but also to meet so-called "public policy" goals laid down by federal and state laws and regulations, such as energy efficiency targets or mandatory portfolio standards for renewable resources. (See, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Docket RM10-23, June 17, 2010, 131 FERC ¶61,253.)
But while it would place new burdens on utilities, FERC's initiative has become known more for what it would take away—the so-called "right of first refusal," or ROFR. This right, entrenched in FERC's pro forma transmission tariff, gives utility TOs the option within their defined service territories to build and own new lines approved through the planning process. Seen as a corollary to the duty to serve, and to the backstop obligation that utilities take on to extend network transmission service to new load and new generating plants, the right of first refusal stands as a thorn in the side of merchant developers and independent transmission companies (ITCs), who would relish the opportunity to bid on any and all projects, regardless of design or purpose.
And so what might appear at first sight as an exercise in engineering and cost-benefit analysis has morphed into a political process of picking winners and losers. What FERC's planning initiative really means is deciding who builds the new projects—who captures the revenue stream from what surely stands as the last fully regulated and low-risk opportunity in the electric utility sector for growing rate base.
In fact, even as the transmission service sector has remained the last fully regulated corner of the electric utility industry, the transmission construction sector has exploded. Blame this turn of events on the growth in wind energy and the rate incentives created by the FERC Order 679 and the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Especially in regions rich with renewable energy potential, developers can been seen literally falling over one another in a race to lock down key markets and rights-of-way.
One of these new developers is Pattern Transmission, a subsidiary of Pattern Energy Group LP, which in turn was formed only in June 2009 by Riverstone Holdings LLC, a private equity firm that claims approximately $17 billion under management across six investment funds.
In fact, Pattern Transmission stands as lead developer, financer and builder of the Trans Bay Cable, a 53-mile, 400 MW high-voltage DC submarine transmission line which, when tied in to PG&E's Potrero substation and placed in commercial service, will be capable of supplying approximately 40 percent of the

|After Party at Fontana's (105 Eldridge St.) with complimentary Red Hook Ale
Lower East Side
350 Grand Street, New York, NY 10002
F, J, M, Z to Delancey Street-Essex Street; B, D, Q to Grand Street
New York City is the backdrop, inspiration, and co-creator of this funny and passionate meta-fictional romance.
Filmmaker Florian Habicht will be in attendance for a Q and A following the screening. After the Q and A there is an after party for all in attendance at Fontana's, with complimentary beverages provided by Red Hook Ale
Love Story (Florian Habicht | New Zealand | 91 min.)
New York in the summer is a wonderful place to fall in love. The city is filled with dynamic locations for escapades, from the Brooklyn boardwalk to downtown dive bars, from Chinatown parks to local bodegas. Millions of strangers pass each other every day: native weirdos, everyday Americans, tourists from New Zealand, Russia and everywhere in between. It's a huge and fast-moving metropolis, but following a chance flirtation, fate and the city will bring you back together. Although we have a reputation for being gruff, New Yorkers are the most open and interested people in the world when an adventure comes their way.
So when transient artist Florian Habicht spots on the subway a beautiful woman carrying a piece of cake on a plate, he begins to film her. And to fall in love. Unsure how to court this mysterious siren, Florian takes to the streets: he asks a wild collection of passerby how to craft this love story. Real New Yorkers respond with pleasure, surprise and distaste, but they've always got an opinion: what to do on a first date, how to treat her after a taxi accident, how to lure her into bed...He even enquires (while on a late-night condom run, wearing nothing more than her striped tights) how to handle the inevitable failures and sexual twists. Overseeing the entire endeavor, like a Brechtian director on stage, is Florian's father, Skyping in his blockbuster movie advice.
As Florian and the woman continue on their romantic collaboration, all the lines of fiction and fantasy are blurred, and a natural dramatic tension develops among the madness. The perfect avant garde New York summer romantic comedy, this unique and charming film is a love story between two people, between a multitude of ideas, and between all New Yorkers and the city we live in.

"Slowdance bring keyboard and guitar and a rhythm section that can flip from a new wave throb to a spaghetti western rumble as easily as it delivers punchy indie-pop, all anchored by vocalist Quay Quinn-Settel's demure cheek and soprano dramatics. She recalled France Gall, and they did Stereolab, because language still counts (even the set-closing cover of New Order's "Consent" was not without its tie to France). Says Quinn-Settel: "I learned how to read in French before learning in English. It's half of me, it wouldn't feel right to sing in English alone. Plus the way the language shapes the mouth changes the timber of my voice, so it's nice to have both." - Stereogum

Five ingredients and just two steps is all you need to make these zesty tuna salad sandwiches – a wonderful dinner ready in just 20 minutes.
Mayonnaise or salad dressing can be substituted for the tartar sauce.
Try whole wheat bread in place of the French rolls.
Add 1 tablespoon of capers to the tuna salad mixture.
Rémoulade is a classic French sauce made by mixing mayonnaise, mustard, capers and pickles. Tartar sauce, which consists of mayonnaise, capers, pickles and lemon juice, is a quick and easy substitute.

JPluck is dead and its author has moved its effort to Sunrise, which is not open-source unfortunately. And it is not available for Linux. That's a shame, as JPluck was the only RSS parser for Plucker.
Fortunately, a bunch of people have started a fork with the JPluck code called Opusculus. There has not been any activity yet it seems, but that's good news.

Nutritional Value of Chayote and Singkamas
We all know that during the first trimester of pregnancy, food cravings are present. My sister is now on her 3rd month of pregnancy and she loves to eat chayote and singkamas (also known as jicama/turnip)! Chayote is cooked while singkamas is eaten raw. Aside from the juiciness of these vegetables when eaten raw (singkamas), what are the nutritional content of these vegetables?
19th March 2012 05:47 AM #2
I love Jicama and my children have grown up on it. When I get a good jicama, it is sweet and full of water (in a similar way that lettuce is full of water).
Here's a page I found that tells about the nutrients in Jicama.
Congratulations to your sister and feel free to share this forum with her if she has any questions as she goes through her pregnancy.
Warm regards,
