Teachers of mall shooting victim: "A great student"
Brianna Benlolo, Sand Creek High School Class of 2010
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The woman killed in a Maryland mall shooting over the weekend, Brianna Benlolo, was a hard worker, great student, and a talented drummer, according to teachers at Sand Creek High School.
21-year-old Benlolo lived in Maryland, but graduated from Sand Creek High School in 2010.
"She was very creative, great in band, had fun in theater," said Brianna's theater teacher Amy Bremner.
"She was just a good kid," said Brianna's Psychology teacher Jennifer Scarselli.
Brianna, a mom to a two-year-old boy, was working at a mall in Maryland on Saturday (1/25/14) when police say a gunman, 19-year-old Darion Aguilar, decided to take Benlolo's life as well as her co-worker's, 25-year-old Tyler Johnson. Aguilar then shot himself.
"It's just sad. Sometimes you don't know what happens to kids afterwards and you know a young mom and senseless tragedy that a little kid is left without his mom," said Scarselli.
The band room was home for Brianna. She was in the marching band drum line.
"It was a real pleasure to have her in the band. She connected right away with the other students and was a real contributor in our band program," said Sand Creek Instrumental Music Director Ray Bell.
What teachers hope those who knew Benlolo will remember is that she was a really sweet, young lady, said Bremner.
"She was a great student, a great kid and connected with people that she was involved with," said Bell.
Her life ended too soon, but she was a young woman who won't be forgotten.
Brianna's high school friends are planning a memorial for her on Thursday (1/30/14). KRDO Newschannel 13 will post the time and place as soon as it's been set.

How much of the recent CO2 increase is due to human activities?
Contributed by Corinne Le Quéré, University of East Anglia.
This question keeps coming back, although we know the answer very well: all of the recent CO2 increase in the atmosphere is due to human activities, in spite of the fact that both the oceans and the land biosphere respond to global warming. There is a lot of evidence to support this statement which has been explained in a previous posting here and in a letter in Physics Today . However, the most convincing arguments for scientists (based on isotopes and oxygen decreases in the atmosphere) may be hard to understand for the general public because they require a high level of scientific knowledge. I present simpler evidence of the same statement based on ocean observations, and I explain how we know that not only part of the atmospheric CO2 increase is due to human activities, but all of it.
On time-scales of ~100 years, there are only two reservoirs that can naturally exchange large quantities of CO2 with the atmosphere: the oceans and the land biosphere (forests and soils). The mass of carbon (carbon is the "C" in CO2) must be conserved. If the atmospheric CO2 increase was caused, even in part, by carbon emitted from the oceans or the land, we would measure a carbon decrease in these two reservoirs.
Number of observations of carbon decreasing in the global oceans: zero.
Number of observations of carbon increasing in the global oceans: more than 20 published studies using 6 independent methods.
The methods are:
(1) direct observations of the partial pressure of CO2 at the ocean surface (Takahashi et al. 2002),
(2) observations of the spatial distribution of atmospheric CO2 which show how much carbon goes in and out of the different oceanic regions (Bousquet et al. 2000),
(3) observations of carbon, oxygen, nutrients and CFCs combined to remove the mean imprint of biological processes (Sabine et al. 2004),
(4) observations of carbon and alkalinity for two time-periods combined with an estimate of water age based on CFCs (McNeil et al. 2002), and the simultaneous observations of atmospheric CO2 increase and the decrease in (5) oxygen (Keeling et al. 1996), and (6) carbon 13 (Ciais et al. 1995) in the atmosphere.
The principle of the last two methods is that both fossil fuel burning and biospheric respiration consume oxygen and reduce carbon 13 as they produce CO2, but the exchange of CO2 with the oceans has only a small impact on atmospheric oxygen and carbon 13. The measure of atmospheric CO2 increase together with oxygen or carbon 13 decrease gives the distribution between the different reservoirs.
All the estimates show that the carbon content of the oceans is increasing by ~ 2±1 PgC every year (current burning of fossil fuel is ~7 PgC per year). One method is able to go back in time and shows that the carbon content of the oceans has increased by 118±19 PgC in the last 200 years. There is some uncertainty about the exact amount that the oceans have taken up, but not about the direction of the change. The oceans cannot be a source of carbon to the atmosphere, because we observe them to be a sink of carbon from the atmosphere.
What about the land biosphere? We know that deforestation has contributed to the increase in atmospheric CO2. Yet because carbon needs to be conserved, observations of the carbon increase in the atmosphere and the oceans combined with estimates of fossil fuel burning tell us that deforestation has been largely compensated by enhanced growth by the land biosphere. For example, during 1980 to 1999, fossil fuel burning was 117±5 PgC, and the carbon increase in the atmosphere and the oceans were 65±1 and 37±8 PgC, respectively. Thus that leaves 15±9 PgC that has been taken up by the land. This 15±9 PgC includes deforestation (and other land-use changes) which reduced the land biosphere by 24±12 PgC, and an additional land uptake of 39±18 PgC in response to elevated CO2 and climate changes (Sabine et al. 2004). Here also there is some uncertainty about the exact amount, but there is no uncertainty that the land biosphere has taken up a quantity of CO2 that is roughly equivalent to the deforestation.

Nutrient uptake ratios...
I have a 10g which I started two months ago. It has two 21w CFLs, pressurized CO2 @39ppm. It has grown to heavily planted. I've been dosing EI with 50% WC weekly.
My plan was to use the plants I had for cycling then rescape. But since I will be moving in 1-2 months I decided to let jungle grow until the move.
Yesterday I tested the water because I started to see some hair algae.
KH = 4dh
GH = 3dh
PO4 = 1ppm
Ammonia, nitrites 0
Nitrate = 0!
My kno3 solution raises the NO3 to 3.2ppm with each dose. I double dosed yesterday which brought it up to about 6-7ppm. Today nitrates are 0. Phosphate is about 2 after another KH2PO4 dose. I find it hard to believe the plants are uptaking 6ppm of NO3 per day. The kit is calibrated btw.
So my question is. Since the nitrate and phosphate uptake is obviously not in sync how do I know what plantex CSM + B to dose without an iron kit. Should I increase that by 1/3 or so? I have no idea where I am and would rather not wait for deficiecy problems.
Is there a general ratio for the three in regards to uptake I could use to make an educated guess?
if u have significant bio mass, and its severely in need of nitrates. it could theoretically absorb that much,
dose again and see what happens :)
it is also possible that ur substrate is abosrbing it through cation exchange
I am now left with guessing an appropriate trace dose. Since the uptake of each nutrient is non linear. Any reason why too much trace would be detrimental? Maybe increasing it by 30% or so. I really don't trust iron tests anyway.
PS I have never heard a 6ppm/day uptake of NO3, guess I need to look around more.
I tend to dose 15 ppm 2x a week of KNO3. Rarely 3x.
This seems good enough for most every plant species I've ever encountered, which is perhaps 400 species or so at this point.
If you look at a basic uptake and nutrient concentration graph:
EI targets the D range. A rich sediment like ADA AS, at least for the 1st few months, MTS etc, will do this as well.
By good observation, you can target the C range and slowly reduce and watch the plant's response.
Older methods used PO4 limitation to produce A and B ranges, which caused greatly reduced growth and also, less CO2 demand because plants were far more limited by PO4 or some other nutrient than CO2. Thus when they added the PO4 or the limiting nutrient, they then would have CO2 limitation, which tends to lead to algae, thus a myth is born. :icon_mad:
Hair algae seems more due to CO2 than anything else or plants growing and blocking the current. GHA tends to be near the current areas on the plants that block the current or are in the path of the current. This is also true in streams and rivers.
Also, do not assume the CO2 is 39 ppm, it might not be since the KH might be less than you think it really is. While we like to think it's all bicarb, sometimes it is not depending on the tap water.
Algae and plant health are better test kits, if not the best test kits. I'd focu there, provide ample nutrient, then mess with the CO2 mostly, and then good horti/aquaculture from there.
Thanks guys. I'll be upping the nutrient dosing for NO3, PO4 and trace. My PO4 usually never goes over 2-3ppm so I don't think the increase will hurt anything. I will see if the increase in traces change anything at all. The hair algae is VERY minimal but if it's there at all I see that as a sign of something going on hence the reason I did water testing.
I just thought the uptake would be generally the same. However, different plants use varying levels of nutrients so I suppose that's a bad summation.
@plantbrain, I didn't realize that the KH/CO2 relationship was only based on carbonates. It makes sense now that you pointed it. It just never dawned on me. The more I learn about aquariums especially in regards to acid base balance the more I realize it parallels medicine. In fact, nearly identical for the human body. Thanks.
Nail a good trimming if you see any GHA appear asap.
Water change, spot treat the infested plants/area with excel, then wait a few mon, turn filter back on etc. Tweak the CO2 a little bit higher and watch very closely when you do this.
Adding more PO4 does not cause issues, near as folks can tell.
Some do this to prevent GSA, I'm not so sure it does.
Uptake of nutrients/CO2 is not linear.
Many assume that is it and many like to think themselves as very knowledgeable about dosing ferts. I really do not fuss much with ferts, but light and CO2 instead. that said, I know the basics and how plants respond over time to ferts.
It's sort of an intermediate level for many planted hobbyists, some folks need to get it out of their system and they run from each fert to the next and never see the holistic picture. Most of the folks do this, myself included years ago, but eventually you realize it does not matter much.
Thi is something many aquarist have to go down and experience themselves, does not matter what I or anyone else tells them. But they can cause a mess for newbies in the interm. Most figure it out later fortunately and then have both experience and knowledge to help new folks.
It's good to learn from experience as long as it's not your own, but many of us are not wired that way or that accepting. (Which is a good trait also!)
the CO2/HCO3 thing with people is pretty cool if you think about it. Like aquatic systems and plants, the gas phases for CO2 and O2 MUST go into/out of the aqueous solution for plants and animals/people.
If you change the pH of the blood/plasma etc with something other than CO2/HCO3........this can cause issues, same deal with planted tanks and CO2.
Now if the KH is entirely all HCO3.......then you are set.
There's a cool way to get around this, use a gas membrane with a reference pure KH HCO3 solution in it. Then a pH probe. the gas will go across the membrane, but not the acids, non carbonate KH/HCO3 etc.
This can be done for measuring Human CO2/HCO3 is such situations etc. I would assume that woud be the best method to avoid issues in the blood and other non carbonate KH.
Still, healthy patient vs healthy plant/livestock, you can see what works and if you adjust and observe SLOWLY. I have 3-4 different CO2 ppm's in each tank I have.
No one tank is the same as the other. Why? Not sure, have some ideas, but every tank is unique where than D range is.
CO2 also have a similar pattern.
Here's a good article on light and CO2:

Registered voters in the USA between the age of 18 and 29 are recognised as the nation's 'Young Voters' and this election partaking section of America's youth originated in the 1930s. Today young voters are a crucial part of the electoral system since the 2008 presidential election saw their numbers triple and even quadruple in certain states.
Politics in the past has never paid as much attention to registered voters under the age of 30, tabooing the generation as callous and uninterested. Last year has obviously washed that thought down the drain but the fact remains that a large fraction of the youth is not as informed as it could be, when it comes to casting a vote and helping to make a difference. The 'strategy' to voting, as a young American is simply investing some time in self-enlightenment on the matter.
First and foremost, get comfortable with the Electoral College system. Many young voters feel dissuaded into interacting with a voting system they feel is 'too complex' for them while others entertain misguided ideas of the system and are lured into apathy by being made to believe that their vote simply doesn't count.
The next step, as a voter is using the media to your own advantage is finding out what is really going on. Take a look as both sides and entertain different perspectives if you don't want to be a victim of propaganda. If sifting through newspapers isn't your thing, use Youtube as a source of information. Certain debates between candidates can be entertaining as well as educational. Social websites such as Facebook and Myspace help users keep on top of the polls.
Finally comes the fine-tuning of knowledge before a ballot is cast. Only registered voters are mailed ballot cards before any sort of election. Municipal election offices provide cards on request to those which have not received their voter cards.
If you don't know what to do with your ballot card, visit your local polling place (or use the internet) to find a sample ballot and familiarize yourself with it. If you have a punch-card ballot which is spoiled, insist on getting a replacement. Depending on the state you may be required to produce identification and/or vote at the proper polling place. Failure to follow procedure might result in your right to vote being challenged so use the right resources in advance to find out what the rules are in your state. The USA's government website is a goldmine of such information.
If you are still doing your studies best is to learn exam strategies to pass the exams with flying colors. If you are young and dynamic individual you should learn investment strategies as well in order to create a successful future for yourself and your family. Exams or finance are not that difficult, it is just a matter of getting the basics and practicing.
If you get too tired while studying take some turmeric supplement. This product can be especially helpful if you have some back pain and we all suffer from it during the grueling nights sitting at the desk while preparing for exams. This is 100% natural with no side effects but many healthy benefits, not just a pain reliever.

(written from a Production point of view)
A trip to "Planet Hell" proves therapeutic for Tom Paris and Neelix.
This episode summary has been identified as lacking essential detail, and as such needs attention. Feel free to edit this page to assist with this expansion.
- Please obey copyright policy; do not copy material from other sources without permission.
The episode opens with Kes training in a shuttle simulation, assisted by Tom Paris. Kes is jokingly berating Paris for putting her through a scenario involving clogged plasma injectors, calling his training challenge a 'dirty trick.' During their discussion, another problem in the scenario causes the simulated shuttle to throw Kes off her feet, into Paris's arms. Paris hesitates before releasing her and they leave the simulation joking and laughing, while Neelix is revealed to be hiding around a corner from the holodeck, watching the pair depart.
After the simulation, Paris goes to Harry Kim's quarters, where he interrupts Kim's clarinet practice. He confides that he has fallen in love with Kes, to the shock of Kim, who cautions him that he needs to tread lightly.
Meanwhile, Kes is shown having a romantic, candle light dinner with Neelix. As she recounts the shuttle simulation earlier in the day, Neelix becomes more and more agitated. Despite efforts to hide his jealousy, Neelix's bad mood is picked up on by Kes and the dinner become tense.
After an altercation in the mess hall between Neelix and Tom Paris over Kes and involving hair pasta, Captain Janeway has the two of them to go down to a promising planet in a shuttlecraft to search for food supplies while also ordering them to settle their quarrel. EM interference causes the shuttle to crash, stranding them on the surface while USS Voyager is stuck in orbit.
High levels of trigemic vapors cause Paris and Neelix to search for a cave in which to shelter. After sealing themselves in, they discover a nest of eggs. One of the eggs hatches, revealing a reptohumanoid creature.
Orbiting around the planet, the crew attempts to search for the crashed shuttle, but are attacked by an alien ship. The ship positions itself between the planet and Voyager.
Neelix and Paris discover that the baby needs food, and it is getting weaker without any. After rejecting the field rations, they find out that the vapors contain amino acids that should nourish the baby. Going back out into the open, the baby recovers.
Voyager disables the weapons of the alien ship, and descends into the planet's atmosphere, followed by the other ship. Voyager locates Paris and Neelix, just as the adult reptohumanoid reaches the baby and rescues it.
When Neelix and Paris are beamed back aboard Voyager, they are greeted by Kes. She is both relieved to find them alive and shocked to find that Neelix and Paris have apparently resolved their fight over her, as Neelix leads the pair to the mess hall in order to open a bottle of Potak cold fowl that he had been saving for a special occasion.
Memorable quotesEdit

Background informationEdit
Script, story, and titleEdit
- This episode's stardate is not mentioned in the episode's final version but is established in the episode's shooting script. (Star Trek: Voyager Companion)
- This episode was partly written as an attempt to remedy the fact that Voyager's producers felt the character of Tom Paris had been underused in the first season. (Star Trek Monthly issue 6; Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 91)
- The episode's script was also motivated by concerns that executive producer Michael Piller had about Neelix, because Piller feared that the character was becoming too comical and the writers wanted to deal with his jealousy and possessiveness towards Kes, qualities that Piller thought were becoming irritating. (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) In addition, the writers wanted to put an end to unfriendly tension between Neelix and Paris, regarding Kes. Executive producer Jeri Taylor explained, "We wanted to resolve what had been a lingering bitterness between Paris and Neelix. It just becomes unattractive to have Neelix continually responding in that way and we didn't want to perpetuate it. What is Kes going to say after a while? Stop being such an asshole? No. So we wanted to create the feeling of a family, not a lot of people with resentments. So we were looking for a way for Paris and Neelix to resolve their differences and this plot worked out very nicely." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 84)
- This episode's plot follows a template previously used in numerous films. Jeri Taylor remarked, "It's a classic formula–Three Men and a Baby [for example]." In fact, the formula dates back to the Western movie 3 Godfathers. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 84)
- Despite bearing the writing credit of Tom Szollosi alone, this episode was the subject of an uncredited rewrite by Michael Piller. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 88)
- The Voyager crew's nickname for the planet in this episode is an inside joke, as "Planet Hell" is the unofficial name used by Star Trek production staff for their generic and oft-reused cave set on Paramount Stage 16, a naming tradition that originally began during production on Star Trek: The Next Generation. (Star Trek: Voyager Companion)
- The episode's final draft script was submitted on 24 July 1995. [1]
- The installment had the working titles "Fog" and "Echolocation". [2] The term ultimately used as the episode's title, "parturition," is defined as 'The act of giving birth.' (Star Trek Monthly issue 9, p. 10)
Cast and charactersEdit
- The episode facilitated an uncommon collaboration between Paris actor Robert Duncan McNeill and Neelix actor Ethan Phillips. After working on the episode, director Jonathan Frakes recalled, "[It] was primarily with Ethan Phillips and Robert Duncan McNeill, who [...] ended up having great chemistry. They very rarely got to work together on the show before this episode so they loved it. They came together wonderfully." (Star Trek: Communicator, issue #105, p. 50) McNeill himself explained, "Ethan Phillips and I really get along well outside the show, so when we did the episode 'Parturition', it was really nice to get an opportunity to play around for a whole episode together." (Star Trek Monthly issue 20) He also noted, "Ethan Phillips and I laughed all day." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #11) Phillips commented, "It was nice to work with Robbie, because I get along with him really well, and we had some good, funny times." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 106) In addition, Phillips remarked, "It was cool to work with Robby in 'Parturition'. We don't normally get to spend that much time working together so it was really good fun." A scene that Phillips particularly enjoyed performing with McNeill involved the hair pasta. He noted, "Frankly it was fun to throw that pasta on Robby in a jealous rage." (Star Trek Monthly issue 20)
- Both Robert Duncan McNeill and Ethan Phillips thoroughly enjoyed this episode in general. Speaking midway through Voyager's third season, McNeill declared of this installment, "That's my favorite episode so far. I loved that one. It was a perfect combination of really good character development combined with some jeopardy and a little bit of action." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #11) During the fourth season, McNeill stated that the episode "was [...] a lot of fun." (Star Trek Monthly issue 37, p. 44) Ethan Phillips agreed, "I think it was a really good show." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 107)
- The storyline involving a development of romantic feelings between Paris and Kes did not win the approval of Robert Duncan McNeill, so he was grateful that it is brought to an end here. McNeill admitted, "I never thought the Kes thing was right. It made Paris look really bad, flirting with Kes. Luckily, [...] they really cleared it up and dropped it so Neelix and Paris could become the odd couple." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #11) McNeill also felt that his character of Paris allowed himself to become somewhat vulnerable here. The actor related, "I think Paris let his guard down quite a bit in that one." (Star Trek Monthly issue 37, p. 44)
- This was the second of three episodes of Star Trek: Voyager to be directed by Jonathan Frakes, the other episodes being "Projections" and "Prototype". Frakes would also appear briefly as Riker in "Death Wish". Both Robert Duncan McNeill and Ethan Phillips enjoyed collaborating with Frakes on this episode. McNeill said, "Jonathan Frakes was a blast to work with on that one." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #11) Likewise, Ethan Phillips related that, while working on this installment, he found Frakes to be extremely funny but also very efficient and made working conditions seem casual. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 106)
- The infant reptohumanoid in this episode was a cable-operated puppet. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 84) Moments after describing the puppet as "that 'rubber chicken,'" Ethan Phillips commented, "It took six guys to operate that chicken. Six guys and two girls, they were an eight-man team. There were all kinds of wires and levers and prods. It was very complicated but it was very realistic." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 107)
- Although his Talaxian makeup made Ethan Phillips feel particularly uncomfortable, he was relieved that the production period was generally informal fun. "It was kind of goofy down there with that [baby reptile puppet], and we had quite a few jokes with that," Phillips recalled. "There was a lot of smoke on the set. When you have the smoke you can't have the air conditioning. So I was not only hotter than normal, everything was more irritating than normal, for like seven days. But Jonathan [Frakes] was just so great that I didn't notice it as much as I normally might." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, pp. 106-107)
- A scene in which Janeway, Chakotay, Torres and Kim are at Kim's ops station, planning a way to get through electromagnetic disturbance in the atmosphere of this episode's planet, was one of many for which video coordinator Denise Okuda had to decide what displays would play on the bridge's monitors. She also had to keep track of the graphics, including each animation's placement on the bridge set. To help her with the latter task, she had a typical breakdown sheet for the scene. Okuda remarked, "In scene #46 [i.e., the aforementioned scene], I have to know what's going on. Is the Bridge on Red Alert, or in Normal Condition? What would be appropriate for a particular character's monitor?" (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #8, pages 43-44)
- This episode was filmed in its entirety by the time the earlier-produced "Projections," which aired four weeks before this episode, was first broadcast. (Star Trek Monthly issue 8)
Reused footageEdit
- The holographic wormhole that Tom Paris and Kes fly through in the holodeck shuttle simulation is a re-use of the interior of the Harry Kim wormhole from VOY: "Eye of the Needle".
- The ships featured in the holodeck simulation are Jem'Hadar attack ships from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In fact, the footage seen is from the DS9 Season 3 premiere "The Search, Part I". This episode marks the only appearance of Dominion ships on Star Trek: Voyager as well as their only appearance outside of Deep Space Nine.
Continuity and miscellaneous triviaEdit
- Captain Janeway wears her hair more along the lines of her style from seasons four through seven in this episode as opposed to her traditional season one and two "bun."
- This is the first time that wet food was spilled on the costumes. Prior to this, only dry food was allowed to spill on the uniforms (as washing the costumes took a lot of time and money).
- This episode contains at least two lines of dialogue that appear in other sci-fi productions. When Tuvok suggests a plan to combat the alien ship, he adds, "But, of course, I cannot guarantee its success," which is exactly what Spock says of his own plan to find humpback whales in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In addition, when the alien hatchling won't feed, Paris says, "Come on, kid, ya gotta eat," a line spoken to another fussy reptilian infant in the film Enemy Mine.
- This episode serves as a turning point in Neelix's possessiveness towards Kes, a quality in their relationship that can be seen in such previous episodes as "Phage", "Elogium" and "Twisted". Before working on this episode, Kes actress Jennifer Lien commented, "I think Kes and Neelix still need to explore some issues of trust. I think Neelix's jealousy is getting to be minimal because the character is learning. They've grown in this relationship. When it becomes too obsessive, it becomes scary, and I don't think that's what the character of Neelix is about." (Sci-Fi Universe, September 1996 ed.; Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) Following production on Voyager's second season, Ethan Phillips said of the writers, "This past year they have played up the jealousy aspect, but by the end of 'Parturition' I think Neelix basically said good-bye to that part of his character, and I don't think the writers are going to pick up on that so much anymore." (Star Trek Monthly issue 21) Phillips further explained, "I think they've started to play that down. I think they've explored that as much as they've wanted to. Sometimes people liked it and sometimes it made for some tedious drama." (Star Trek Monthly issue 20)
- This episode also involves an end to hostilities between Neelix and Paris, the former having previously been suspicious of the latter's encounters with Kes in each of the three aforementioned episodes. Remarking on the nature of the relationship between Neelix and Paris before this episode and how it changed here, Robert Duncan McNeill stated, "First they had that incredible clashing over Kes and the jealousy thing which I think, while at the time it was not particularly pleasing to watch, it was a nice motivation for what happened in 'Parturition'–a nice build-up to that. Even though it hasn't been explored a whole lot since 'Parturition,' I think that that stays with the fans and informs everything that's happened between Tom and Neelix since then. Which has been nothing but mutual admiration and friendship." (Star Trek: Voyager Companion)
Reception and aftermathEdit
- This episode achieved a Nielsen rating of 5.6 million homes, and a 9% share. [3](X)
- Star Trek Monthly gave this episode 2 out of 5 stars, defined as "Impulse Power only". (Star Trek Monthly issue 13, p. 50)
- Cinefantastique gave the installment 2 out of 4 stars. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 83)
- The unauthorized reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 75) scored the episode 4 out of 10.
- Ethan Phillips enjoyed throwing pasta on Robert Duncan McNeill here to such a degree that Phillips hoped for a similar scene in the future. Shortly after beginning work on the third season, Phillips speculated, "Maybe I'll get to throw something else on him this season!" (Star Trek Monthly issue 20)
Video and DVD releasesEdit
- CIC Video released the four season 1 "hold-over" episodes in their production order, as part of the first season release. This is the third episode in the second season release. From this point, releases follow the normal broadcast order.
- As part of the VOY Season 2 DVD collection

This new health trend promotes health and longevity by eating a diet inspired by Mediterranean cuisine.
- Photo: Jennifer Davick; Styling: Linda Hirst
Mediterranean Diet Health BenefitsRecent research suggests that people following a Mediterranean-style diet have a lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and health problems. Unlike other diets, which may lack in nutrients, this one provides heart-healthy doses of protein, vegetables, whole grains, and even a little bit of red wine too! Foods to eat include fish, shellfish, olive oil, fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and herbs. Eggs, dairy, red wine, and poultry are also recommended, but in smaller amounts. These recipes, mixed in with an active lifestyle, are the perfect way to start off a Mediterranean diet.
Whole-Wheat Pasta with Edamame, Arugula, and HerbsSoybeans, fresh vegetables, olive oil, and fresh herbs make this salad an excellent choice.
White Bean Dip with Rosemary Olive OilRosemary oil adds rich flavor and color to this earthy appetizer dip. If you are short on time, top instead with kosher salt and olive oil.
Tilapia Piccata
Tilapia Piccata is a spin on the traditional Italian dish of veal or chicken piccata. Flaky tiliapia and tangy capers with fresh lemon juice and white wine deliver exceptional flavor to this classic dish. Feel free to substitute most any flaky white fish for the tilapia, if desired.
Curried Chickpea Stew with Brown Rice PilafThis dish includes protein-packed chickpeas, whole-grain rice, and lots of fresh veggies and spices to lend flavor.
Broiled Tilapia GyrosThis spin on a Greek classic uses broiled tilapia to lighten things up, along with fresh veggies and a Greek yogurt sauce.
Mesclun with Berries and Sweet Spiced AlmondsRaspberries add bright color and several good-for-you nutrients like fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C. Almonds are a good source of vitamin E and monounsaturated fats. Chives, members of the onion family, add phenols and flavonoids.
Olive Oil-Poached Mahimahi with Mediterranean Tomato SauceTomatoes, olive oil, and rosemary are the perfect combo to spice up this tender white fish.
Blood Orange SangríaAny good-quality, fruity red wine works well in this cold sipper; a combination of pinot noir and Beaujolais is particularly good.
Whole-grain Penne with Walnuts, Caramelized Onions, and Ricotta SalataThe combination of flavors here plays up the nutty flavor of whole-grain penne.
Pasta with Tuna and Black Olive VinaigretteOlive oil, capers, garlic, and fresh lemon juice make this pasta dish a Mediterranean-inspired favorite. Top with tuna for a complete meal.
Hummus-Veggie Sandwich on Whole Grain
Hummus, veggies, and a hint of garlic and lemon are a sandwich lover's dream. Hummus-Veggie Sandwich on Whole Grain is hearty and satisfying, and a cool break during a day on the beach.
Shrimp, Lemon, and Spinach Whole-grain Pasta SaladWe lightened up this pasta salad by replacing the usual mayonnaise dressing with Greek-style low-fat yogurt, which has been strained so that it's thick and rich-tasting. Prep and Cook Time: 35 minutes.
Olive-Almond Green BeansMove over plain green beans for a side serving of Olive-Almond Green Beans. The kalamata olives give these beans its saltiness, toasted almonds a bit of crunch, and a touch of citrus thanks to lemon rind.
Broiled Salmon with Lemon and Olive Oil
This dish is a highly nutritious choice that has a wonderful citrus flavor from the lemon. Monounsaturated fat from olive oil, Omega-3 fatty acids from salmon, and fiber from brown rice make for a heart-healthy recipe.

Roy, Leanne and Helen Hamilton
Bogandillan, Rand, New South Wales
Bogandillan has been in the Hamilton family for over 70 years. Helen Kennedy (Roy's mother) arrived on the property with her parents at the age of four, riding horses through flood water and picking a high point on the creek to build the house in which Roy and Leanne now live.
When Roy and Leanne first came to Bogandillan the property was 4000 acres, however this has now been increased to over 7000 acres.
Converted into hectares the cropping translates into 1200 hectarce of wheat, 700 canola and 150 hectares of triticale. The Hamilton's have a 1200-head self-replacing Merino flock, the ewes are joined to Merino rams and another 600 older ewes that are crossed with a white Suffolk for fat lamb production. There are no wethers at present because there is not enough money in the wool industry.
Roy is more positive than negative about the future of farming and notes that with $750,000 tied up in machinery, it is not an industry that you can move in and out of. However with falling terms of trade and the price of wheat less in real terms, the sustainability of the property is dependent on the world price of wheat. New technology such as yield mapping has helped with fertiliser inputs on different soil types on the farm, which has led to zonale management and best practice farming.
Their two elder children are keen to come back to the farm, but Leanne would like them to do this only when they are older and in their 30s and have other experiences. Labouring on properties is now good in the area and can command a reasonable wage, which wasn't the case when Roy returned home.
With the winter months on the farm taken up with machinery maintenance, Roy developed his PHD (personal heating device) to trail behind him and keep his hands warm in the large cold machinery sheds.
Audio and transcript
Listen to Roy's story (MP3 file 743kb)
Duration: 1 minute, 34 seconds
We've got 1200 hectares of wheat in and 700 hectares of canola, and then about 150 hectares of triticale.
We've got a flock of ewes; we've given Webbers away because there's not enough money in wool to make it worthwhile, running just wool cutting sheep at the moment.
We believe we're probably doing, as an industry, and I suppose I'm talking about the grains industry now, we're as close to best practice that we possibly can be because we're the least subsidised of any of the nations that are growing wheat.
Say this place had a gross income of a million dollars. I think in the States it would be about $320,000 of that would be coming from the government directly, in the EU it's about $420,000 and here it's around about $40–50,000 and that's extensions that we get provided with from the Department of Agriculture and those sorts of things.
I really feel sorry for people who worked in what was called the Department of Agriculture because the state government has screwed it around that many times and this short-term thing of ... There was one brilliant example a few years ago that they decided they would give redundancy packages to around about 40 per cent of their agronomists, and some these guys had been at the Department 20–25 years and this is this knowledge and the feel for the area.
And then 18 months, two years later they decided they had a chronic shortage so they got all these kids coming out of college, as raw as you can get them, they'd come out here and you ask them something and the poor little fellas they'd be looking in the book.
They just stuffed 'em around so badly, that sometimes I feel that we're better off without the government saying we're providing all this when it's really not.

Oxford, Ohio – The Canisius College hockey team lost to sixth-ranked Miami on Friday night, 3-0. The loss drops the Griffs to 1-3-0 on the season, while the nationally-ranked RedHawks improve to 4-2-1.
"We played the way we wanted to play in the first period but couldn't find that early goal that could have turned the momentum our way," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "We played hard the entire game but a couple unfortunate bounces didn't go our way. If we can sustain the way we played for the first, it gives us a great chance to win in the future."
Making his second start of the season, junior Keegan Asmundson recorded a career-best 37 saves to anchor the Canisius defense.
The RedHawks took the lead with 3:52 remaining in the opening period when Alex Wideman found the back of the net on the power play to give Miami the early advantage. Wideman would then extend the RedHawk advantage to two with 12:12 remaining in the second. A Canisius defender broke his stick on a one-timer and Wideman would finish an odd-man rush on the other end for the 2-0 lead.
Miami extended its lead 7:48 into the third period. The puck bounced off the glass behind Asmundson and fell right to an open Blake Coleman, who buried his sixth goal of the season for the 3-0 lead. Coleman's tally would prove to be the game's final goal as Miami recorded the 3-0 shutout victory.
The RedHawks finished the game with a 40-20 advantage in shots. Miami was also 1-for-3 on the power play, while killing all three Canisius extra-man chances.
Ryan McKay stopped all 20 shots on goal to earn the shutout victory for Miami.
The schools wrap up the two-game series tomorrow night with game time in Oxford slated for 7:05 p.m.
Game Notes: Miami's first-period goal marked the first time this season that the Griffs did not score the game's first tally … Senior Kyle Gibbons had his career-long 13-game point streak snapped … In five meetings with Miami, Canisius has only scored three goals … Canisius failed to score a power-play goal for the first time this season.

The Australian government has decided parents are entitled to all pertinent information not merely concerning their child's performance in school, but how does the school rank in education categories. ACT Education Minister Andrew Barr said "parents and carers will now have more information bout their child's progress than ever before, and we encourage parents and carers to use this information to speak with their child's teacher." However, Education Minister Julia Gillard also raised the issue of comparing school performance. On one hand, she said, "if one school was performing better than another , the information might reveal why, allowing the best practice to spread from one to another."
This issue raises many questions. A basic assumption is test scores reveal which is a "performing" or "not performing" school. Despite promises, in the end, parents will obtain information concerning test results and place greater demands on schools to improve test scores. There are a host of other factors which also should be available ranging from funding to experience levels of teachers. Information is important to any parent, but educators must also deal with issues pertaining to the meaning and goals of education.

Oh-So-Good Creamy Mashed Potatoes RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 4 3
Yukon Golds are great for mashed potatoes because of their buttery flavor and low moisture content. They easily absorb the warm milk or melted butter you add to your spuds. —Brittany Jackson, Seymour, Wisconsin

- 2-1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 3 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Additional 2% milk, optional
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Place potatoes and salt in a stockpot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat milk, butter, garlic salt and pepper over medium heat until butter is melted.
- Drain potatoes, then shake over low heat for 1-2 minutes to dry. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or beat with a mixer; gradually add milk mixture. Stir in sour cream. Stir in additional milk to thin if desired. Sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 18 servings (3/4 cup each).

text: It is true that the .40 has more of a snap and the .45 is a pusher. That is one of the reasons I like the .45. It is also the caliber I shoot more accurately with. If I were you I would not worry about it. Some like the .40 more because of the snap. It will recoil faster and get your sites back on target. I have never had a chance to shoot the .40 in an HK but I would assume it handles the round better than most. Worst .40 I have ever shot was a Glock 22. It had noticeably more recoil then my .45s. I am sure you will be happy with whatever you choose! There is no perfect round. Just be sure to practice!

I had a 17C and I kick myself for getting rid of it. Much soffter shooting. You do have the "rabbit ears" that appear when firing, from the comp slots but they do not impede your ability to maintain sight picture.
A friend shoots a 21c and it is smooth and accurate. I have yet to shoot the 10mm so I'm not sure about recoil but sight picture should not be affected.
The only real negitive is total loss of night vision when 1st round goes downrange. Even though you are affected with a uncompensated pistol the comp slots will spit out a lot of flame, and it will be right in front of your face vs. out the end of a barrel.
I personally feel the positive outweighs the negetive if you want a softer recoil. My opinion.

Posted by Rachel Dines on August 19, 2013
Last week there were several of outages that got me thinking more about the cost of downtime. I get this question a lot: what is the industry average cost of downtime? I hate answering "it depends," but that's the truth. So much depends on the organization, the industry, the duration of the downtime, the number of people impacted, etc. And not all of it is about dollars and sense. Reputation, customer retention, employee satisfaction, and overall confidence can be shaken by even a short outage. Take, for example, the New York Times' mysterious outage on August 14, 2013, of around two hours. While two hours might not seem like much, in the middle of a news-heavy weekday, it made a lasting impression. The stock dropped, twitter exploded, and the Wall Street Journal dropped their paywall to try and capture readers. In this case, I argue the biggest impact of downtime was not the drop in stock price, but the loss of confidence and loss of competitive advantage.
Here is a very different example: Google experienced between one and five minutes of downtime (amazing that this is news, but it is), on August 17. While this outage reportedly cost the company upwards of $500,000 (making their hourly cost of downtime astronomical), but as a result, internet traffic overall dropped by 40%. Their biggest impact was on customers and strategic partner over the long term.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Until this post was resurrected on 11-17-11, the last post was 8 years ago. The OP hasn't been on since 02-08-2004...
+2 for the 350 vortec roller cam and vortec heads...
but can you still run the mech fuel pump?..
I would check on craigs list and get a COMPLETE 350 vortec engine from a 1996 to 2000 truck. These engine came with factory roller cams and vortec heads.
should be able to get one in good shape for less than $700. Then get an intake, 750 holley carb, long tube headers, and maybe a little more cam. should be able to make 350hp/400ftlbs and still maintain a near stock idle.
Re SBC '55 truck...
BIG Al alias Al,
Thank you for the post. But I think a previous member mentioned the
$1,500 budget.
Being I am a senior hot rodder, I decided not to build an engine from
scratch, but instead, get the Chevy high performance crate engine.
One of my insureds can get me a great deal. Then I have the great
50,000 mile/two year warranty AND Chevy high performance crate motors
are fantastic, from what I hear.
My only decision...Whether to get the ZZ4/350...355 HP and 405# torque
or the Fast Burn 385...385 HP and 385# torque
or the ZZ383/425.......425 HP and 449# torque
It's going in a '55 Chev stepside short bed. Then figuring out the steering.
Installing a C4 front and rear suspension will cut a little weight and a
700R4 for a trans with the C4 rearend w/3.42's should be a good combo.
Have to do a little math to see really how fast I want to get thru the
intersection. Any recommendations, young man....???
Best regards,
With a used engine and required quality machine work you will be hard pressed to build a engine for 1500.00
If your budget is 1500.00 purchase a NEW GM crate 350.
You can find them at most Gm dealers, it's like a car, shop around. You will find your best deal at a GM dealer that is a level one power-train dist.
Or order from summit, and sometimes it's cheaper if no sales tax.
You can make performance changing things in time as funds become available.
The engine will be virgin new! And have a 3yr 100k warranty.
Or!! Save up a few hundred and purchase a 350/290hp engine
Absolute best band for the buck. 2yr 50k warranty
finding the right 350" Chev
When I see that name, I remember the "good ole days" of the Silver Hawk
and Golden Hawk in my high school days. Rather quick for those times.
After doing all the research on building the motor from the ground up and
using the best parts, I called Dale. (Armstrong) He is undoubtedly one of
the best mechanics in the nation. The papers just announced that Kenny
Bernstein was retiring after thirty years of drag racing and how great he was.
The reason he was great and the first to break 300 MPH in the 1/4...was
Dale Armstrong was the crew chief. Kenny just steered the dragster.
Dale strongly suggested I call dear ole Chevrolet and ordering the new ZZ383/425HO crate engine.
425 horse and 449 pounds of torque.
1) 24 month/50,000 mile warranty
2) Dale said their components were the best.
3) Compared to the ZZ4 350/350, for $900 more, you pick up 70 horse and
44 pounds of torque. Couple that with that 3.06 first gear in the 700R4,
and the truck will jump thru the intersection.
Do you agree the C4 ('86 to '95 Vet) front and rear suspension would be one
of the best choice under the truck...The Vet has 3.42 gear so with the 3.06
gear in the 700R4, it should be good out of the hole with all that torque.
So there you have it. Thank you for your post but I will go down to Chevy
and get that good complete engine.
Best regards,
SBC for truck
If you already do not have the engine /trans etc, I would check Craigslist, local nickel saver, local newspaper ads, etc. Maybe leave a note on the local machine shop message board as to what you are looking for. You can probably get a running or rebuildable SBC 350 for $100,00 to $400,00. In my area this is very common. I would try to get one complete with all brackets, mounts Etc. The small things will nickel and dime you to death! Even if you don't use some of the parts on the engine, you can sell them to offset your project cost. I have even purchased a non running parts car and sold off the chassis after I took the engine / transmission out for more than I paid for the car to start with. Great to get a FREE engine this way. Word of caution, never buy a engine without actually going and looking at it. I have found that "great condition" to one person, could be used as a boat anchor for another person.
building small block Chevy
In regards to building the small block, my son and I built his '57 Bel Air as follows.
Bought a used 350". Bored it 30" over, Dart heads, (just over 10-1)
Edelbrock manifold, headers, Isky Z-20 solid lifter and good ignition.
The engine only puts out around 360 to 370 as lift was only around .455.
But, the secret was the drive train. My son wanted a very streetable car
but, like his Dad, didn't want to be second thru the intersection.
We put in a 4.11 12 bolt-posi. Then, instead of the 350 or turbo 400
trans, we put the 700R4. As you know, with 4.11s and regular street tires,
you're doing 3500 RPM at 70. With the 700R4, (30% OD), you drop to 2,450
and cruise nicely down the freeway. But the best advantage...the turbo 350
and 400 have a 2.48 first gear. The 700R4 has a 3.06. It would be the
equivilant first gear ratio, of putting 5.07's in the turbo trans car.
Needless to say, I pulled along side of him at an intersection in Southern Calif. I was in my '99 Vet - six speed. I notice his car "sat up" as he pushed
the gas and leaned on the brake. The light turned green. I shot thru the
intersection and was going to look in the rear mirror for my son. WRONG.
My front bumper was even with his right REAR fender wheel JUST THRU
the intersection. I drove with Dale Armstrong a few times so I know how
to launch, but this kid smoked me! I powered shifted to second, then into
3rd and at 107MPH, (3.42 gears) I powered shifted to 4th. At that point, I
was almost up to his door handle. The Vet ran very high 12's at 109. (sea
level) I would estimate my son's small horsepower Bel Air would be around
107 or so at 12.85 to 12.90. Not a lot of horsepower, but low gearing to move
3,500 pounds or so thru the intersection. Later that night over dinner,
he said, "Don't feel bad Dad. I smoked two Turbo Porsches thru the intersection but I shut off after grabbing second gear as here they come.
The dinner tasted better after that. So the 700R4 is fantastic off the line
with that first gear being SO MUCH lower... 4.11s X 2.48 = 10.16 first
gear ratio. 4.11s X 3.06 = 12.57 So 5.07 gears X 4.11s = 12.57. Good luck.
Is a Mustang II best front suspension for '55 pickup...anybody.. Stevechevy
Re: questions on building a small block chevy
1) Lift the heads and look at the cylinders at least. Or tear the whole engine apart and check it out.
2) Don´t just spend money on hp. Make sure you start spending it on making things last.
3) If you´re going for high rpm's, balance it. It will be worth it.
4) Now you can start thinking on getting high comp pistons, kick-a** heads, roller cam etc etc.
The only problem is that doing it like this cost money. Much money. On the other hand you don´t have to make repairs as often.
Last but not least, do what you do now: Ask. And remeber no answer is an absolute truth (neither is this).
|I have plenty of room under the hood it is a 57 chevy truck. I am looking to make a strong pulling engine not at high RPM. It is a primarly to pull my other cars, but i would like to be able to unhook the trailer and dirve it on the strip. I know 1500 is not a lot but i have several other prodjects going on at the moment. so that is close to my limit at this time. I have a 6al and distributar, headers, carbs and tons of stuff for big blocks but i want a little better milage that 4 that is what i am getting now with a 496 i would like to put this engine into into my wifes nova. I have tons of stuff to trade but only 1500 cash. Do you know the part numbers of a good block and heads. I have a friend at the machine shop that does most of my work for nothing as far as balancing and honing lineboring, etc.. I am not a small block man I know very little about them. I have found a 4 bolt main block with a steel crank but the crank is worn out are all 4 bolts good or are there better ones that others?
|For $1500 I would recommend that you find one already built and some stuff to it. Summit has a full setup for right at that. You could also pick up rebilt one minus intake and carb from your neighbood parts store for around $1000. Your best bet, however, would be to find one that an individual is selling.
do you have any parts right now? What kind of HP are you looking for, just max that you can get?
Here's my two cents: People sell good stuff on ebay because they are willing to take a hit on it because they're broke and need the money (ha ha, not always, but my point is you can get some good deals). This means that you can get a good short-block all built and balanced for hundreds less than you can by gettin the stuff you yourself, tearing it down, machine work (there's the big price-tag right there, machine work) and parts. I got a 388 stroker balanced with scat crank and a damper for 690 all built on ebay. Has some nice slugs in it too.
You can get some budget parts at summit too. YOu might want to save some bills and get a summit cam. Weiand makes good intakes, I've done a lot of research lately and most people say for the price and the height of the RPM edelbrock (height meaning it doesn't fit under a lot of stock hoods) go with the stealth. THey perform about the same anyway. YOu could get a cheap set of headers from summit too, just coat them as best you can when you get them. HEI ignitions are good, if you have one use that. YOu can up the output for like 40 with an MSD module from summit. The big ticket item that is hard to get around are heads. Cheapest I've seen dart IE head for is 680 for the 180 cc.
You don't have to go nuts on bolts, but get good quality ones. I would say the same for gaskets, go felpro or mr. Gasket.
Hope this helps-

Not Speaking in Class?
If you were quiet in the beginning and now it's hard to start speaking; if you prep what you have to say but you get nervous and it all comes out in a rush; if you think other people's thoughts are more focused than yours; if it takes you longer to get your point out and more assertive people don't wait for you to finish; if you're not confident of your English; if you feel like your classmates don't listen to you as you listen to them; if you lack confidence in the value you are adding to discussions—then this workshop can help you speak up and be heard better, feel more confident, and both give and get full value in your classes.

Apple Hires Veteran Hacker Who "Delayed Windows Vista"
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
Pickup should boost Apple's recently struggling security efforts
Malware authors, who are finally taking note of the company's operating system amid rising market share,
have of late victimized
Apple, Inc. (
). Amid struggles with malware -- mostly Trojans (programs that imitate real software or are carried by seemingly innocent webpages and trick users into installation) like
-- the company has been
scrutinized by security firms
who suggest it needs help, and a more proactive stance on plug-in patching.
highly profitable
computer and digital device maker made a key step in the right direction this week, though, hiring Kristin Paget (
formerly Chris Paget
), according to
a report
Ms. Paget seems a natural fit for Apple.
She has said in past interviews that she is a "total Unix head" (OS X is Unix-like) and dislikes Windows. And she's expressed an interest in hardware security. When she left Recursion Ventures, her security firm, in July she expressed a desire to move away from bug-finding.
Thus she may see her talents first applied to Apple's efforts to lock firmware hackers
like George "GeoHot" Hotz
out of Apple's iOS firmware. Since the launch of the iPhone, Apple has been largely
unable to stop such hackers
from defeating its digital rights management scheme (via jailbreaking) and its network locking (via unlocking). Apple has hired hackers in the past (
most notably "Comex"
) to try to shore up its firmware, but the efforts
have oft fizzled
The new recruit, though, could fare better as she brings a long history of eye-opening security exploits. In 2010 at DefCon hacker conference she set up a cell-phone intercepting station, a low-cost homebrew hardware setup that tricked towers into routing calls -- even encrypted ones -- through it, allowing conversations to be snooped on.
Kristin (formerly Chris) Paget led the bug finding hunt that helped dramatically improve the security of Windows Vista. [Image Source: Jean-Philippe Martin]
But Ms. Paget's most prestigious honor was delaying Windows Vista and in the process greatly improving its security. In 2006 she was hired by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to assist with the final development of Vista. According to recent speeches, which she gave after her five-year non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Microsoft expired in 2011; Microsoft had expected a clean bill of health when they brought her onboard.
Instead, she and her team found a wealth of bugs. She recalls, "We prevented a lot of bugs from shipping on Vista. I'm proud of the number of bugs we found and helped get fixed."
The bug hunt was so successful that it forced Microsoft to delay Windows Vista. Ms. Paget and her team received honorary shirts from Microsoft Vice President of Windows Development Brian Valentine that read: "I delayed Windows Vista."
Windows Vista is widely viewed as a turning point in Microsoft's security history, paving ground for later
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

text: BEI Resources BEI Resources was established by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to provide reagents, tools and information for studying Category A, B, and C priority pathogens, emerging infectious disease agents, non-pathogenic microbes and other microbiological materials of relevance to the research community. BEI Resources acquires, authenticates and preserves and distributes reagents that scientists need to carry out basic research and develop improved diagnostic tests, vaccines, and therapies. By centralizing these functions within BEI Resources, access to and use of these materials in the scientific community is monitored and quality control of the reagents is assured. Sponsors BEI Resources has been managed under contract by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) since 2003. A seven-year contract to continue managing BEI Resources was awarded to ATCC in June 2010. The BEI Resources program reflects a coordinated effort between NIAID, CDC, USDA, and ATCC. The BEI Resources program falls under NIAID's Biological Research Resources Program and is funded through the Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Biological Resource Repository (MID-BRR) contract. BEI Resources Materials BEI Resources is focused on acquiring and authenticating several categories of materials for the members of the research community that register for BEI Resources access. These include pathogens newly recognized in the past two decades, re-emerging pathogens and NIAID Category A, B and C agents. Examples of re-emerging pathogens Enterovirus 71 Clostridium sp. Hepatitis C Mumps virus Herpesvirus Streptococcus group A Staphylococcus aureus Examples of NIAID Category A biothreat agents Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) Clostridium botulinum (botulism) Yersinia pestis (plague) Poxviruses Francisella tularensis (tularemia) Viral hemorrhagic fevers Arenaviruses Junin virus Benefits of Depositing In addition to supplying the biodefense community with materials, BEI Resources also encourages and supports the deposit of materials from researchers and institutions. Depositing materials with BEI Resources has many advantages to the researcher and the biodefense community including secure storage, community access and distribution; all while protecting the intellectual property rights of the depositor.

Surin Pitsuwan, head of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations(ASEAN) warned the Burmese junta it must allow foreign aid workers access to areas hardest hit by the cyclone if it wished to keep the trust of the international community. "What has to be delvered is real activities' that allow the world freedom to help the thousands of Burmese people who continue existing without access to food or water, let alone places to live. ASEAN, along with the UN co-hosted a conference over the weekend which focused on helping victims and its reputation is now on the line. Although three weeks have passd since the cyclone hit, it is estimated only 40% of its victims have received any assistance.
Although there has been a slight improvement in speeding up visas there are still complaints of delays and frustrations. Surin noted: "There are many low-hanging fruits that can be harvested, and those include accessibility, delivering of supplies already on the ground, monitoring, and the ability to admit and allow foreign aid workers into the feld with less obstacles and less delay." He warned the Burmese government ASEAN wanted results within a week or it would conclude there still was no commitment from the junta to support relief efforts.
Meanwwhile, in a slap at the world which is helping Burma, the ruling junta extended for one year the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi who has been confined to her house snce 2003. Burmese law stipulates a person can not be detained for longer than five yers without either being charged or released. But, the militay junta which boasts it received a 92.4% of the vote for its new constitution, has never been bothered by such issues as respecting the law. It decides which laws are respected.

well we have all seen this before, everybody that follows this site has had plenty of time and plenty of warnings that the BS was about to hit the fan.
what i don't get is where did all these sheeple come from with all this last minute panic buying?
they have had at least the last 4 years to get caught up --and everybody has known the big "O" wants all firearms gone and the entire firearms industry gone --all this time. no secret--he has said as much repeatedly.
i think many knew the pot was about to boil over cause ammo,mags, firearms and certain parts have been selling well for the last 4 years. they were even selling out the glut before the panic started full on.
i watch a couple of my favorite venders stocks of various things --like lowers and rifles and so on and they have been running out a lot before all this. but it was everything "cheap"--now it is just out of EVERYTHING.
many have heeded the alarm bells and did take action long before the panic.
this incident was sort of sudden and even myself has a few things i wish i had picked up before the panic struck full force.
honestly there ain't that much i''ll need to buy in the next few months.
if i do anything in 2013 i'll build a 1911 --or hell maybe a flintlock?--LOL!
