SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Sophomore Shannon Smith (West Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon) led a balanced offensive attack for Northwestern, recording six goals and dishing out three assists as NU roared past Massachusetts 18-6 in its season opener. Senior Danielle Spencer (Rochester, N.Y./Brighton) also added five goals as nine different Wildcats recorded points on the evening.
Smith, who set personal bests in points, goals and assists, struck quickly for the Wildcats (1-0), notching the first goal of the 2010 season with just over two minutes gone in the opening half. Her goal helped spark a seven-goal outburst over a 16-minute period as the 'Cats pounced to the 7-0 lead midway through the opening stanza. Smith would tally two more goals during the run, with junior Brooke Matthews (Baltimore, Md./Friends School), sophomores Lacey Vigmostad (Northport, N.Y./Northport) and Alexandra Frank (Westwood, Mass./Westwood) and Spencer each notching a tally.
The Minutewomen (0-1) answered back with a pair of goals 38 seconds apart to cut the deficit to five at 7-2, but all that did was fuel the Northwestern fire. The reigning champs responded with a pair of goals from both Smith and Spencer that spanned 64 seconds to reclaim momentum with an 11-2 lead. Spencer would add her fourth of the half, which was complimented by a goal from freshman Erin Fitzgerald (Mt. Sinai, N.Y./Mt. Sinai) and another from Frank, giving Northwestern the 14-3 break at the half.
Northwestern retained control of the second half as well, as goals by Frank and Spencer within the opening 90 seconds gave the Wildcats a 16-3 lead. Both the Minutewomen and Wildcats exchanged goals for the remainder of the game, with Smith, Spencer and sophomore Lizzie Abramson (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) rounding out the scoring for NU. Matthews and freshman Taylor Thornton (Dallas, Texas/Hockaday School) each added an assist for the 'Cats.
With her nine points on the night, Smith becomes just the seventh player in program history to accomplish the feat and the first since Hannah Nielsen dropped nine on Syracuse last season. Her six draw controls is also a personal-best.
Frank also set personal highs with her three goals and two assists, while her five caused turnovers is also a career-high. She becomes just the fourth player in Northwestern history to record five caused turnovers and the first since Christy Finch in 2008.
Northwestern dominated Massachusetts in nearly every statistical category, outshooting the Minutewomen 37-14 while holding a 21-5 edge in draw controls. UMass did have a 13-3 save advantage on NU as sophomore Brianne LoManto (Miller Place, N.Y./Rocky Point) recorded three saves while allowing just three goals in nearly 40 minutes of work.
With the victory, Northwestern improved to 9-1 all-time against Massachusetts and extending its winning streak over the Minutewomen to nine games. It also extended the Wildcats' consecutive victory streak to 30 games, marking the third 30-game wining streak in program history.
The game, a rematch of last year's NCAA first-round matchup, was the showcase game of the 2010 WomensLax.com Surfside Cup at Rancho Bernardo High School. The crowd of 1,315 fans was treated to a great game on a pleasant southern California evening, with the exception of a 10-minute rain downpour midway through the second half.
The Wildcats now have a few weeks off to make any necessary adjustments before returning the West Coast at the end of the month. Northwestern heads to northern California to take on Stanford and California on Feb. 26 and 28.

Marist Fight Song
There's no one that evokes more school spirit at a Red Foxes sporting event than Marist's Director of Music, Art Himmelberger. In an attempt to build spirit and pride among the college's fans, alumni, faculty, staff and students, Art began creating the lyrics and music for Marist's first fight song during the spring of 2006. The Marist Band began learning the music and words upon their return to campus in the fall.
The Marist Fight song made its official public debut at the McCann Center on October 13, 2006 when the Marist Band introduced the song at the beginning of the Red Fox Tip-off event which marked the start of the 2006-2007 basketball season.
Marist Fight Song
(Shout) -- M-A-R ---- I-S-T,
MARIST, COLLEGE to victory!
(music interlude)
1st Verse
Marist, College, Let the bells ring.
Honor, Glory, Your Praises We Sing.
We're here with banners fly-ing!
Our shouts of victory cry-ing! Rah! - Rah! - Rah!
Alma, Mater, We love you dear.
Conquering, Heroes, We're here to cheer.
We have no fear for Marist College,
We'll fight on to victory.
2nd Verse - (Fun words)
Marist, Foxes, We're on the run.
Up hill, down hill, having much fun.
We lure our every foe,
Into the Red Fox hole. Rah! - Rah! - Rah!
Scratch them, tear them, rip them a part.
Offense, Defense -- right from the start,
We have no fear for our Red Foxes,
They'll fight on to Victory.

Headband Controls Computer
The Muse band aims to enable users to focus their attention on simple commands in order to make their electronic devices do things.
The Muse headband, made by the interdisciplinary team at InteraXon, is currently seeking funding on Indiegogo to bring brain-controlled computing to the mass market. While wearing the brainwave-sensing headband, users can focus their attention on simple commands to control their electronic devices, apps, and games.
Muse sits across your forehead and rests behind your ears. EEG sensors make contact on your forehead, while reference sensors rest on the back of your ears. Muse connects wirelessly to your devices via Bluetooth and uses the sensors to pick up the electrical outputs generated by your brain's activity, detecting any subtle changes.
InteraXon is looking to use these brainwaves to interact with devices in the real world–devices that respond to your thoughts like turning off your smart phone when you are asleep or turning off the TV. But just as important is how seeing your brainwaves can help you learn more about yourself and improve yourself while strengthening your brain.
Early birds can get their hands on a Muse headband for a pledge of $135 and you can learn more about it from the video below:

That Peace Flag: Reader Reactions
WHILE I favor going into Iraq, I'm not pleased about the necessity to do so (see BW Online, "A Personal Standard for Peace"). And I am not confident that the President has the capability to handle the issues involved with competence. I do believe we must show the Muslin world that democracy offers a better solution to the serious problems that underlay its grievances than the current embrace of religious fanaticism and despotism. In some ways we have ourselves to blame for the quandary we face. Decades of diplomatic mismanagement and economic policies that permitted and supported autocratic rule in exchange for oil have come home to roost. Terrorism feeds on such problems and thrives in such an environment. We must now take measures to remedy the situation. Not to take action now will lead to much greater sacrifice in the future. -- P.M.
IT'S tough to be a loyal dissenter, but your flag story gave me, at 81 years of age, hope that we can once again freely voice our disagreement with our government's stand. I had the feeling we had all rolled over. Thank you for standing up for your ideals and mine. -- H.B.
YOU compare the President to Eldridge Cleaver -- you must feel you're quite a patriot! I would like to know, did we give Hitler enough time? Was he Europe's problem? Should U.N. resolutions ever be enforced? Should Saddam remain unchecked? -- M.H.
ISN'T it a duty of patriots to register their opinion and try to keep the country from doing something stupid? -- A.M.S.
I WAS disturbed by your dilemma over flags. You have obviously reached quite a high level of business success and I congratulate you for that. I'm sure you didn't reach that position by being overly concerned by the criticism of others. Your friend convinced you that proudly flying the flag (even two flags) in front of your successful business was a pro-war statement? What hogwash!
I back the President and I trust that we will successful in removing Saddam with minimum loss of life and property. I would much rather see him topple without our help, but I'm certainly not going to suddenly have doubts about flying the flag due to any lingering doubts about an attack on Iraq. Based on his reluctance to move decisively and the Administration's continued appeals to the U.N., I don't consider President Bush to be pro-war. However, I don't expect to see any ridiculous peace flags flying over the White House. Please reconsider your decision to temper your patriotism by flying that disrespectful mutation of the flag. If your employees have noticed it, I'm sure that many of them are upset by such a sight. -- R.C.E.
YOUR article spoke to me of the conflict in my own mind. I support my President, I love my country, I believe we are the greatest nation because of our freedoms, yet I do not want to go to war. I want them to leave us alone if we will leave them alone. However, I don't think that will ever happen. Can we ever live and let live? I don't think so. I don't believe we are bullies (although I see more evidence of that every day). I want to believe in the goodness in people's hearts. I cry when I hear the Star Spangled Banner, or see the flag waving. I believe in America. I love listening to Kate Smith's God Bless America (why is Canadian Celine Dion singing it?). Keep writing about the way you feel. You and I are not anti-American because we don't want to go to war. -- P.D
TAKE down that peace flag! You have to fight fire with fire. This threat from Iraq and militant Islam is more insidious than any prior threat to civilization. -- A.S.
YOU'RE right on -- I could work for your company any day! This article really made me feel good about being patriotic, but not going along with the war thing. It really is okay to question our Administration! -- G.O.
I AM part American and part French, and I have been back in Paris after 19 years in the US. Congratulations for writing an article that makes a lot of sense when read on this side of the Atlantic. The image of Americans in the eyes of most Europeans is at an all time low (pollution, greediness, arrogance, selfishness, etc.) and the current Administration is insulting several European governments and their people. It is always nice to see that some people have not followed this hysterical movement, based on unproven and unreliable information, to attack Iraq or slander other nations only because these nations value a different perspective. -- C.B.

It fact it only did not result in a crash because Nico backed off. Repeatedly. After getting bullied on track and Merc not doing anything Nico took the matter into his own hands and this is where we ended up. Nico is the kid who got bullied. No one listened, took matters into his own hands and ended up with the brunt of the blame. Thanks for setting a great example Mercedes. Reply Report abuse 59 agree 29 disagree

text: Hey Guys, I've been searching the site, as well as google, for the better part of a day now, and I can't come up with a solid answer why I can't get my HR10-250 to make a daily call over eth. I already removed the null routes from rc.sysinit.author, but that didn't seem to change a thing. It seems as though the box is still trying to use the modem even though I've put in the ,#401 dialing prefix. Networking is working flawlessly otherwise. I can telnet, tivoweb into the machine, I can ping and resolve IPs from inside the machine out. I might also just be a bit fried, I've been working on the box for the last 18 hours straight after slicer took me down and the 3.1.5f instakecake wouldn't cooperate because my two 300GB drives HAD to be on seperate IDE channels for mfsadd to work. So I kept getting reboot loops and GSODs until I found a thread here. As of this point I have everything else working just fine, I just want to be able to make a daily call if I need to, and yes I want to be able to so I can get the 6.3 slices again. I already had them when slicer when ary during a reboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Forgot to add, I have two HR10s and both were able to make the daily call no problem. The one I built today with my virgin image and zipper just won't connect. The other one which I hacked months ago with the HDTIVO MOD HOW TO from the yahoo group still connects fine. And I can't for the live of me remember what I did on that machine differently, other than all the having to install all hacks by hand.

[USL PRO] USL PRO released its 2014 schedule during which each of its 14 teams will play 28 games. The season kicks off on March 22 with two games: defending champion Orlando City at 2012 champion Charleston and the LA Blues at LA Galaxy II, the first game for the LA Galaxy's new USL PRO team.
2014 Schedule
The regular season will run until Sept. 7 and then be followed by the playoffs (single-game knockout format)
over three weekends with the championship game set for the weekend of Sept. 26-28. The top eight teams again make the playoffs.
Every USL PRO squad will once again play a pair of
regular-season games against MLS reserve teams. As 10 MLS clubs have agreements to loan players to USL PRO teams and the Galaxy has entered a team in USL PRO, only eight teams are left in the MLS
Reserve League. The Galaxy II will play the Seattle and Real Salt Lake reserves.
Three new teams have joined USL PRO in 2014: OKC Energy FC and Sacramento Republic FC in addition to
the Galaxy II, which will play at StubHub Center. The Energy, coached by Jimmy Nielsen, opens April 5 at the Blues. Republic FC opens a week earlier at
the Galaxy II.
Expansion teams in Colorado Springs and Tulsa have already been added for 2015. This is the last season for Orlando before it moves to MLS. Its owners have been in
discussions about relocating its USL PRO team to Louisville in 2015.
Antigua Barracuda FC (which went 0-26-0 in 2013) and VSI Tampa Bay FC (out after one season) will not return in

"In retrospect, I'd go elsewhere. We thought we were getting a reputable company. Marja did a good job on concept, but, after the wedding we were charged an overtime fee from the venue because Noveau didn't comply with the event rules. I tried to resolve this but was put in touch with Christina, who is apparently the owner. She is smug and uncomprimising. We got charged for Noveau staying late to remove their equipment. We asked for them to cover a small $100.00 charge on their $5,000 fee for the event but were told no deal! Be careful with this company.They know the rules for the event but didn't comply. It will cost you in the end."

The Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) was enacted to provide students with a safe, supportive educational environment free from discrimination, harassment and bullying. In accordance with DASA, Queensbury schools condemn and strictly prohibit all forms of discrimination, harassment and bullying.
Queensbury schools already meet the DASA standards in many respects. From in-school sessions led by counselors to after school clubs, students at all grade levels are exposed to the ideas of tolerance, compassion and respect. Most recently, Queensbury High School launched a safety messaging system that allows students to anonymously report instances of bullying via text message.
DASA ResourcesQueensbury Board of Education Policies:
Bullying happens when someone hurts or scares another person on purpose and the person being bullied has a hard time defending himself or herself. Usually, bullying happens over and over.
Bullying also can happen online or electronically. Cyberbullying is when children or teens bully each other using the Internet, mobile phones or other cyber technology. This can include:

The Real Thing Is Thundering EastwardWalecia Konrad
How do you find sales reps in a territory that has never had any? That was Horst Muller's predicament. In 1990, the new head of Coca-Cola Co.'s operations in eastern Germany needed a sales force to handle store merchandising, order-taking, and delivery. But even advertising in the papers did no good. Says Muller: "These people come from a culture where selling is a completely foreign idea."
So Muller turned to his 2,100 local employees, many of whom came from the six antiquated eastern German plants Coke had bought from the state. He and his managers from western Germany picked out the most gregarious technicians, factory hands, and clerks, and shipped them to the West for sales training. The result was a team of Coca-Cola zealots hustling for new business. Former administrator Regine Hannemann, for example, landed the account at the mammoth Sports Hall in eastern Berlin. The Hall has a giant Coke sign near the skating rink as well as a dozen vending machines and three cafeterias serving Coca-Cola beverages.
Thanks to such drive, it's easy to find eastern German fans of this American standby. "Of course, when I want a soda, I drink Coke now," says Monika Moroz, a former librarian and now an art gallery owner in Berlin. "It's a lot better than our old Klub Cola." Excluding west Berlin, Coke sold 74 million cases of its soda last year in its new territory, up from zero before 1990 (chart). It could sell more than 100 million cases this year.
Since 1989, the world's No. 1 soft-drink maker has invested $450 million in eastern Germany, and some analysts figure the new operation will turn a profit by yearend. Germany is already Coke's largest market in its European Community group, which contributed $767 million in 1991 operating profits--more than the U.S. market generated.
At this pace, Coca-Cola will smack right into PepsiCo Inc., which for years has held the advantage in most of Eastern Europe and the old Soviet Union. But because Pepsi has been weaker than Coca-Cola in Germany, Coke has used its advantage to carve out a market dangerously close to Pepsi's strongholds in Eastern Europe.
Coke's top brass hesitated before plunging into eastern Germany. True, western German bottlers had handed out samples to easterners when the Berlin Wall fell in November, 1989. But Chairman Robert C. Goizueta and President Donald R. Keough worried that a large and fast push into eastern Germany's decrepit markets would be a logistical nightmare.
Muller and Heinz Weizorek, German division president, successfully argued otherwise. They figured monetary unification would come faster than anyone expected, making business in eastern Germany much easier. They also knew that the Treuhandanstalt, the government agency charged with selling off state-owned businesses, would offer the best tax incentives and investment grants to those who acted fast.
GOING BANANAS. Just as important, "there was enormous pent-up demand for the product," says Ralph H. Cooper, president of Coca-Cola's European Community Group. Before 1989, East Germany's 17 million consumers each year drank 95 soft drinks apiece--nearly as many as their western neighbors, despite the bitter taste of state-produced sodas. And East Germans had been watching Coke commercials on West German TV for years. When East Germans poured across the border in 1989, bananas and Coke were the products they bought most.
Once Keough and Goizueta authorized the move, Muller and Weizorek moved fast. The company helped foot the bill at the unification ceremony at the Brandenburg Gate in the fall of 1990. In April, 1991, Coke aired its first commercial on eastern German TV, showing young and old alike all enjoying Coke. Company managers also set up 8,000 vending machines and fountain services in prime locations, and swiftly jury-rigged a distribution network. "We used anything with wheels to deliver product," says Muller. That included wheezing Trabant autos, now being replaced by 370 trucks.
Coke's dominance of western Europe, where it outsells Pepsi 6 to 1, has helped enormously. Weizorek has consolidated Coke's 105 German bottlers into about 30 today. These efficient factories, along with an ultramodern plant at Dunkirk in France, have satisfied eastern German demand while the 1940s' plants Coke bought were being upgraded.
POLISH PUSH. As such western German grocery chains as Tengelmann expanded eastward, they have taken their orders for Coke with them. And they've supported Coke's Western-style marketing initiatives. The Coke sales force, for example, persuaded these retailers to push less familiar brands such as Diet Coke--Coke Light in Europe--and backed them up with a heavy sampling and promotions campaign. "Low-calorie brands weren't very popular at first," says Regina Monsheimer, manager of the Kauhof store in east Berlin's Alexander-platz section. "But now, I can't keep enough of them in stock."
Meanwhile, Pepsi is struggling in Germany. The company took control of its independent German bottlers two years ago, but low productivity, poor distribution, and feeble marketing efforts have prompted some major grocery chains to drop Pepsi. German volume dropped from 66 million cases in 1990 to 57 million in 1991. Pepsi has now put a German, Juergen Schlebrowski, a Procter & Gamble Co. veteran, in charge. Schlebrowski has won back key retail accounts, such as Tengelmann, but he admits the company has a long way to go. "We tried to do too many things at once when we bought the bottlers," he says. As a result, Pepsi has yet to expand aggressively in the East.
While Pepsi fixes up its German operation, analysts expect Coke will start shipping into Poland from its upgraded eastern German plants. Coke facilities are being planned for Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Russia.
These efforts pale, however, in comparison with Pepsi's franchised network of 65 bottling plants in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. And Pepsi downplays Coke's efforts. "We have a very sound base there, and awareness of Pepsi is higher than any other brand," says Schlebrowski. "It will be difficult to beat us." In the Soviet Union last year, for example, Pepsi sold about 45 million cases, about double Coke's output, according to Beverage Digest. Pepsi-Cola has earmarked $1 billion for overseas expansion over the next two years.
Some Coke-watchers expect its superior muscle to triumph in this latest installment of the cola wars. "Whatever advantage Pepsi may have in eastern Europe from having gotten there first will be easily wiped out by Coke's tremendous global resources," says George E. Thompson, an analyst at Prudential-Bache Securities Inc. Perhaps, but neither of these rivals ever backs off from a fight with the other, especially when new markets are to be won.

DALLAS â" Despite his 86 years, Bernard Theilen maintained an active lifestyle.
His family says the great-grandfather was strong and healthy. He spent a lot of time working in the front yard of his North Dallas home on Villa Park Circle.
Retired from an auto dealership, Theilen enjoyed walking his poodle several times a day through the neighborhood.
He never showed much concern for mosquitoes, however, and his family fears that active lifestyle is how he eventually contracted the West Nile virus.
âI feel he caught it because he loved his little dog he would take walking,â said his son, George Theilen.
Theilen died Sunday morning at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas after fighting the virus for two weeks.
Family members rushed him to the emergency room after he suddenly became nauseous and confused. His family first assumed Theilen was suffering from heat exhaustion.
Once he was admitted, however, his condition quickly deteriorated.
âIn three days he went from sitting here talking to totally unresponsive,â George Theilen said in an interview at his fatherâs home on Monday evening.
Bernard Theilen is the latest to die from the West Nile virus, which has now claimed five lives in Dallas County. The virus has now killed more people in Dallas County than ever before, surpassing the record of four deaths set in 2006.
Nearly 200 people across North Texas have gotten sick so far this year.
Theilen is one of two victims who lived in the same Dallas zip code: 75225. Itâs an area of North Dallas roughly bordered by Lovers Lane, Central Expressway, Walnut Hill Lane and the Dallas North Tollway.
Theilenâs home sits just steps from a private school and NorthPark Center.
âI think Iâm going to take some of these yard signs and say, 'West Nile case found here,' and maybe that will alert the neighbors,â George Theilen said.
Health officials concede that two deaths from the same neighborhood are not prompting many changes. The city continues to spray neighborhoods where the disease has been found and authorities continue to urge residents to take precautions, such as dumping standing water and wearing insect repellent.
George Theilen says his family never took the health concerns seriously until his father became sick. âIt didnât even enter into my mind initially that this could even be a problem,â he said. âItâs very surprising to me that this could hit home as strongly and as severely as it has our family.â

Why is the American focus de-contented?
I have a good friend recently moved from here in Canada to Munich, Germany for a job he was offered in his field of education. Since he is permanently living there, he sold his 2010 Ford F-150 XLT and 2012 Focus Titanium (black, loaded w/sport pack, beautiful car) that he loved and just bought a new black Focus Titanium in Germany. He got it spec'd with the 182HP 1.6L Ecoboost and 6spd manual (A setup I'd kill to have on my car, ditch the dual clutch in a heartbeat). He got his car loaded with everything including the same wheels available on the sport package. He told me about all the features that came on his car that were unavailable on his american spec car, like HID projector headlights, BLIS and adaptive cruise control. His car also has a sony stereo, but no MyFordTouch. Just a slew of buttons with a small screen up top like the base cars here. His American spec car had the DCT and he claims that his euro car drives so much nicer than his american one. The Ecoboost is a perfect fit for the car apparently.
I was recently overseas in Europe in April, I saw a few top-end Foci running around. Those black/black Titanium cars with the non-amber accented dark finish HID headlights with LED running lights are downright crisp, clean and sexy.
Not that I really care about any of those features other than the HID headlights and powertrain choices, but why does Ford de-content the Focus for the American market? I know in Europe small cars are the best selling type of car so it makes sense to have features like those available, but if manufacturers and politicians want Americans to downsize their vehicles, doesn't it make sense to at least offer those features? Especially the powertrain choices..We should have 1.6L Ecoboost engines available with 6 speed manuals if we want. Maybe it would lift some of the flack regarding the PowerShit 6 speed auto. I always thought the Focus was going to be available with an Ecoboost at some point in time, but it doesn't appear to be in the plans just yet. [scratch]
What do you guys think? Should we be seeing some more Euro-spec features and engines here in America?
Germany > USA
I loved Germany. I'm already saving up for another trip over there. The beer, women, schnitzel and Foci were all better than anything local I've seen! [headbang]

I would love me a Ecoboost 6 speed Sedan. It could be the Focus SHO, the small sized Taurus SHO.
HID projector headlights, especially OEM, are nice to have as well. The standard halogens used on my truck and the Focus are awful, and I've retrofitted FXR projectors into my pickup and will likely eventually do the same on the Focus when it's out of the shop. Just one of those things that'd be nice to not have to change. First world problems, eh? [confused]
I wonder why ford offers a better product in Europe with their crumbling car market then here in the US. A 1.6 EcoBoost 182 hp 6 speed Focus sounds sweet...
Money. They pay a LOT more for the same car, but get all the added bells and whistles..
The average Euro car cost about $10,000. to $15,000 MORE than the same car in the USA.
Like a Subaru $22.690 USA
exact same car in Germany $40,331
Do not forget a big chunk is the VAT tax. Then Euro folks can get bigger discounts than US folks.. (up to 42%)
IMO a lot of it is folks in the USA will NOT pay an additional several thousand for trinkets.. Where apparently Europeans will.
The USA has a GOLDEN cheap supply of cars unlike anywhere else.
We are used to getting a deal, and just do not buy if it is not a money value.
Even Canadians pay a bunch more for the exact same car sold across in the USA.
Seems to me that Hyundai/ Kia North America is offering pretty much the same high spec features as they do in Europe. I think that takes away the excuse of "The average Euro car cost about $10,000. to $15,000 MORE than the same car in the USA"
Example using my country as a comparo to USA Hyundai pricing . I will use USD dollars not including taxes
Sonata base model
Hyundai USA MSRP $21,195.00
Hyundai Estonia MSRP $24,000.00
Sorry Elizabeth but your statement needs some factual backup to make such a claim.
Plus the One Ford (global) system reduces Fords supplier costs for these features way way down. In some cases saving development costs up to 40%, which is passed on throughout Fords global suppliers. This allows the suppliers to design and engineer parts once that are uniformly produced across the globe on a large scale.
Hence the excuse of these features costing Ford too much to offer USA customers is suspect to say the least. And it cannot be said that Ford North America does not have these features available, because many of the Global Focus features mentioned by the OP are offered in other Ford North American products, such as the Fusion.
And as always one cannot compare "costs of anything" between global markets using currency exchange as the comparison tool. One cannot even compare between EU countries, as the price in each country for the same spec car is based on that specific countries pricing structure.
Price for a Focus Titanium will be different in UK, versus Germany, Versus Denmark, versus Spain, versus Romania, versus Sweden etc etc etc.
Its not a truck$, so we're lucky it even gets disk brakes. As a matter of fact. All the "euro" transplants "Fiesta-Focus-Fusion" are de-contented.

We consider a group of agents on a graph who repeatedly play the prisoner's dilemma game against their neighbors. The players adapt their actions to the past behavior of their opponents by applying the win-stay lose-shift strategy. On a finite connected graph, it is easy to see that the system learns to cooperate by converging to the all-cooperate state in a finite time. We analyze the rate of convergence in terms of the size and structure of the graph. Dyer et al. (2002) showed that the system converges rapidly on the cycle, but that it takes a time exponential in the size of the graph to converge to cooperation on the complete graph. We show that the emergence of cooperation is exponentially slow in some expander graphs. More surprisingly, we show that it is also exponentially slow in bounded-degree trees, where many other dynamics are known to converge rapidly.

disable oversampling
new here so please forgive my ignorance.
I've heard that the oversampling can be disabled on the tda1541.
My player is a Rotel 965bx.
Can this be done simply?
john and my dog Jakehttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.baldam/dogrun.gif
The oversampling takes place in the filter ahead of the DAC chip. You can't take the filter chip out, as it provides the clock for the CDP. If you make a new clock, you can remove the filter and jumper over its slot.
Then you have to redo the analog filter........

text: Posted September 23, 2013 Two performances of this mixed September rep. Allegro Brilliante, one of Balanchine's most engaging and wonderful ballets, was the curtain raiser here. There is an interesting interview on the NYCB website with Megan Fairchild and Andrew Veyette about AB, dancing it together, the perils of married couples dancing together--Veyette says that he thinks although the ballet may not be that famous among nondancers it is deeply respected and admired in the profession, and I agree. (Fairchild as always is extremely pleasant and well-spoken in interview--I wish I liked her dancing more, and particularly her dancing in AB more. ) The two ballerinas were April Daly, a company stalwart, and Jeraldine Mendoza, who is probably the Joffrey's current Young Dancer Most Likely To Succeed; Mendoza is about twenty-one and has already danced five or six leading roles, including name parts, for the company. Both were fine; Mendoza seems quite young in this role (first time I have seen her) and will doubtless be more finished and more daring with experience. She has excellent balance and potentially very good turns, although the notorious pirouettes in the cadenza had a wobble or two (I am not sure if Balanchine actually set double/triple for those sequences or if that has just become something NYCB ballerinas usually do--in any case, Mendoza didn't do triples and I missed them a bit. Have not seen the Tallchief video in years, so I don't know.) Daly was more assured, more mature, and a bit cleaner generally, but Mendoza is lovely on stage--almost a more gracious and lyrical young Paloma Herrera--and will only get better. They were both competently partnered by Dylan Gutierrez. The corps distinguished itself both nights, looking vibrant and smooth; the ballerinas could both have used more of that vibrancy. Technical correctness and efficiency a la Fairchild do not work in Balanchine parts requiring risk and bravura. Victoria Jaiani, the de facto prima of Joffrey, did a Possokhov pas de deux made on her with husband Temur Suluashvili, and I must say Possokhov could have given this dancer infinitely more to do than a rather trashy recycled Bolshoi acrobatic adagio from the fifties or sixties. Jaiani's entrance, in a sort of slouch, was notably uglifying, and her costume was actionable--something a hootch dancer might wear, not even covering her backside (This ballet is not convincing as soft porn...) The music--the Spartacus/Phrygia pas de deux from Spartacus--is certainly not great, but that's no excuse. The one brilliant step--a grand jete where he catches her in mid-leap--was so pleasant it made the rest look even less good. Jaiani is long, fluid, flexible, strong, ultra-stretched, and lyrical (a bit like Bessmertnova) and made the choreography look far better than it was (her husband is a superb and rock steady partner, especially in Bolshoi tricks like tosses where she does double barrel roll in the air and he catches on the way down), which probably accounts for the shrieking ovation this ballet received when Allegro Brilliante got no more than polite applause. Ugh. The Bells, which was next, is also Possokhov and was also done for Joffrey, to selected Rachmaninov piano ditties. The pieces are a bizarre mixture (including a two piano piece, I believe from the First Suite, at beginning and end), by no means all Rachmaninov's best compositions (the big pas de deux is the formless, weird, and very unsuccessful slow movement from the B flat minor Sonata). It is a sort of shorter Russian Dances at a Gathering, without any of the charming Robbins schticks. Five couples, various permutations, etc. Anastacia Holden was marvelous in the first pas de deux--funny, witty, crisp, bright. The angle of her elbow in her one-hand-on-head pose repeated twice was scintillating. Jaiani again made her choreography look good. I was under the impression that all the dancers worked very hard here to put the piece over. The gentleman next to me commented that he only enjoyed the pas de deux in this piece--said that the ensembles were very pointless... I agreed completely. The finale was the reconstructed Nijinsky Le Sacre du Printemps, which I had not seen and which is by far the best version I ever have seen--beautiful lighting, fascinating costumes (ugly sets, but one can't have everything), highly energized and rhythmic dancing from everyone, and what intriguing choreography! Almost no solos but for the old crone and the Chosen One (dancers interestingly alternated in these roles) and a lot of use of circular groups round the stage, as well as line formations. Erica Lynette Edwards, who had the difficult task of standing frozen in a Petrouchka-like pose (head on one side, drooping) for fifteen minutes and then being shot out of a cannon with a difficult jumping solo, was great as the Chosen One--she looked as if she'd been at the backstage barre seconds before, which was VERY impressive Her air positions in the jumps were superb and she falls extremely well. Sadly the end, as it usually seems to, took the audience by surprise and there again was not the applause there should have been: the entire company is in this ballet and more than distinguishes itself.

Bowhunting Javelina is the Perfect Wintertime Hunt
Posted on May 11, 2011
By Nate Treadwell
It's winter. Across most of the country, deer seasons are closed and a snow shovel might find its way into your hand more often than your favorite bow. It's a time that leaves us longing for warmer climes and a continuance of hunting season.Fortunately, there is an easy cure for the hunter's wintertime blues. It comes in the form of a rugged land. It sticks, pokes, pricks and bites; but once experienced, its pull is strong. It's the cat claw tugging on your pant leg. It's the cholla clinging to your boots and the Saguaro pointing heavenward. It's the Sonoran Desert and the javelina that call its mountains, washes and canyons home.
Although commonly referred to as such, the javelina is not a pig. They may bear a resemblance, but are actually a collared peccary. Their namesake is derived from a ring of light-colored hair around the neck, back and shoulders. They are indigenous to the desert-Southwest region of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Javelina are be found at various elevations, from the desert floor on up to the 6,000- to 7,000-foot range. Strictly herbivorous, javelina subsist on a wide variety of desert plants, roots and succulents.
Javelina were made for the bowhunter. While they have a sense of smell as acute as any deer and their hearing is quite good too, their sight is their Achilles' heel. It's the easiest sense for an archer to exploit. Don't kid yourself though, they can, and will, catch movement, and your skylined silhouette will send them running into the next canyon. Like anything else, a slow go with the wind in your face is your only hope for success.
Javelina are largely territorial. If undisturbed, they will often not move more than a few-hundred yards throughout the day. Even from year to year, javelina herds will usually stay in the same general area, given consistent food, water and cover. This gives the archer an advantage, since resident herds can be hunted over and over on return visits.
Spot and stalk is the most widely used method to hunt javelina. Usually the spotting is more difficult than the stalking. Finding a herd is often the hardest part. Extensive glassing is key. Hours are often spent behind the glasses, picking apart every bush, cactus and rock pile within view. Javelina have a natural camouflage that blends in perfectly with the gray hues of the native cat claw and mesquite–not to mention their propensity to remain hidden in the shadows. Due to their short stature they can also be difficult to spot as they root around under overhanging brush. In my experience, javelina are, without a doubt, the most difficult of all Western game to glass up.
Quality optics are an absolute must. The local hunters of southern Arizona pioneered the art of glassing using high-powered (usually 15X) binoculars mounted on tripods. This is an incredibly effective method that allows the hunter to catch the small details that may uncover a herd of javelina. A nose twitch, a single hoof, a protruding ear, an eye peering through the brush; uncovering these clues can often mean the difference between success and an unfilled tag.
The tripod is the secret to this system. You simply cannot hold these high-powered binoculars still enough without one. It is also challenging to remain comfortable for long periods of time while handholding your binos. Don't think a tripod is only for the big glasses, either. Due to the stable platform, even your average 8- and 10-power binoculars will be far more useful when mounted on a tripod. You'll pick up game that you never would have seen while handholding your glasses. Include a good three-way panhead on your tripod, and you are on your way to a good glassing system. A foam butt pad to sit on completes the package.
Javelina are like the snowbirds of the upper Midwest. They prefer it warm. Keeping this in mind, glass the south-facing slopes that catch the first rays of morning sun. Herds can often be found basking and soaking up the warmth. As it heats up throughout mid-morning, they will eventually head for the heavy cover of the canyon bottoms and washes to bed down for the day. A cold wind is also bothersome to javelina. If it's breezy, glass the leeward hillsides where herds will seek refuge.
Still-hunting can sometimes be effective, too. Hunt areas with fresh sign. Look for rooting and digging at the base of plants. Javelina love to eat the roots, bulbs and shoots of a variety of desert vegetation. Examine the prickly-pear leaves. Prickly-pear cactus is a staple of the javelina's diet. The sign is tell-tale. Find the stringy, fibrous strands of what was once a prickly-pear leaf, and you'll know that javelina have been in the area. They will bite into a prickly-pear leaf with their namesake javelin-like teeth and pull backward, stripping the leaf of its meat, much like the way we eat an artichoke. Find this type of sign that is still moist, and you know you are in their neighborhood.
The ubiquitous desert wash is also a great place to still-hunt javelina. Walk the sandy stretches looking for tracks. Javelina tracks are about the size of a half dollar and are a bit less pointed than deer. Since they usually travel in large, familial herds, you will usually find several sets of tracks together. Bisect a pathway of fresh tracks crossing a wash, and the javelina may not be far behind.
The most exciting way to hunt these desert dwellers is to appeal to their instinct to attack. While javelina do not normally possess a penchant for violence, they will not shy away from a fight if you can fool them into thinking one of their own is being attacked. This works especially well with a herd complete with boars, sows and shoats. Some will round up and protect the little ones, while the more dominant animals will come running back into the call to fight. I used to think it was only the boars that would come charging into the call until just recently, when my friend, Zeke Bass, shot a large sow at mere inches as it came racing in. They come in woofing, popping teeth, and with bristled hair. They mean business! It's pure excitement and an intense shot of adrenaline.
The call is made with a typical predator distress call, the more raspy sounding the better. There are commercially available javelina calls, but most predator calls designed for coyotes will work, too. Wail on the call, imparting lots of action. Open and close your hand as you blow. Breathe in short, choppy breaths, and generally try to make it sound like something fighting for its life. Be enthusiastic about it.
Calling generally works best when the herd is spotted first. It's a great tactic if the javelina are in an area where they cannot be stalked effectively. It can also work after a blown stalk, or even a missed shot, often pulling them back into range. While still-hunting, keep your call handy, since it could be your saving grace if you unexpectedly bump a herd. It doesn't work all the time but, when it does, it's about the most fun you can have with a bow in your hand.
Logistically, this is an easy hunt that can be orchestrated from anywhere in the country. If out of driving distance, flights can be had to either Tucson or Phoenix. With a rented truck or SUV, you can be hunting within minutes of either airport. There's an abundance of inexpensive motels, restaurants, and campsites abound for the more adventurous.
The javelina tag must be drawn and the application deadline is around the beginning of October for the following January. Archery tags are easy to draw. Many units are often even undersubscribed, leaving left over tags. Contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department (GFD) for its list of leftover tags. A license must be purchased before or at the time of applying, and can be done through the mail.
The Arizona GFD has one of the best websites in the country (www.azgfd.gov). It is very informative and user-friendly. In addition to finding the needed applications to acquire a license and tag, peruse the information pages for the state's big-game species. You will find a wealth of information on javelina. Click on the link for hunting unit reports, and you will find that a lot of the homework is done for you. Yes, that is correct, the Arizona GFD will even tell you where to hunt. Pick a unit, and you will find specific recommendations on where you can typically find javelina.
Deer tags in southern Arizona can be purchased over the counter if a combo hunt sounds enticing. The archery deer season takes place during the rut in January, greatly increasing the bowhunter's odds of success. Both Coues whitetail deer and mule deer are plentiful, making one not want for variety. Look for the mule deer at lower elevations in the foothills and flats of the desert floor. Look for Coues deer at higher elevations in the mountains. Javelina can be found co-habitating with both of these species.
If you would like a little more help or a bit of a head start, consider a scouting package from Desert Bull Scouting Service (www.desertbull.com). For a modest fee, Desert Bull will scout an area, provide you with maps, GPS coordinates, and recommendations on places to hunt and camp; it's a great resource.
This is also a hunt that is great for kids. There is usually lots of action, and the shot distances are relatively short. I recently learned of a youngster who had nine shots on javelina in a week's time. Now that is fast action! This is also a hunt tailor-made for traditional archers. Javelina rarely stop moving for more than a second or two, putting an instinctive shooter at a great advantage. Coupled with shots often being 20 yards and less, they are the perfect challenge.
With January temperatures in the 60s and 70s, and where sunscreen will get more use than your favorite wool stocking cap, a trip to southern Arizona might be just what the doctor ordered to cure those snow-shovel blues. With plentiful game, available tags, and a wealth of information at a hunter's disposal, it is a hunt that should certainly be on your to-do list. It truly is fun in the sun, a rare commodity in the dead of winter.

Long-term use of estrogen supplements by women leads to an increased risk of breast and uterine cancers. Possible mechanisms include metabolism of estradiol and compounds related to tumor-initiating quinones, and ligand-induced activation of the estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ which can cause cancer cell proliferation, depending on the ratio of receptors present. One therapeutic goal would be to create a spectrum of compounds of variable potency for ERα and ERβ, which are resistant to quinone formation, and to determine an optimum point in this spectrum. We describe the synthesis, modeling, binding affinities, hormone potency, and a measure of quinone formation for a new family of A-CD estrogens, where the A-C bond is formed by ring coupling. Some substituents on the A-ring increase hormone potency, and one compound is much less quinone-forming than estradiol. These compounds span a wide range of receptor subtype selectivities and may be useful in hormone replacement therapy.

Receptor, Parathyroid Hormone, Type 1
A parathyroid hormone receptor subtype that recognizes both PARATHYROID HORMONE and PARATHYROID HORMONE-RELATED PROTEIN. It is a G-protein-coupled receptor that is expressed at high levels in BONE and in KIDNEY.
Receptor, Parathyroid Hormone, Type 2
A parathyroid hormone receptor subtype found in the BRAIN and the PANCREAS. It is a G-protein-coupled receptor with a ligand specificity that varies between homologs from different species.
Receptor, Serotonin, 5-ht2c
A serotonin receptor subtype found primarily in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and the CHOROID PLEXUS. This receptor subtype is believed to mediate the anorectic action of SEROTONIN, while selective antagonists of the 5-HT2C receptor appear to induce ANXIETY. Several isoforms of this receptor subtype exist, due to adenine deaminase editing of the receptor mRNA.
Receptor, Serotonin, 5-ht2a
A serotonin receptor subtype found widely distributed in peripheral tissues where it mediates the contractile responses of variety of tissues that contain SMOOTH MUSCLE. Selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonists include KETANSERIN. The 5-HT2A subtype is also located in BASAL GANGLIA and CEREBRAL CORTEX of the BRAIN where it mediates the effects of HALLUCINOGENS such as LSD.
Receptor, Melanocortin, Type 2
A melanocortin receptor subtype found primarily in the ADRENAL CORTEX. It shows specificity for ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE.

The effect of a medium-term activity- and diet-induced energy deficit on subjective appetite sensations in obese children
King, Neil A., Hester, Jennifer, & Gately, Paul J. (2007) The effect of a medium-term activity- and diet-induced energy deficit on subjective appetite sensations in obese children. International Journal of Obesity, 31(2), pp. 334-339.
To assess the subjective appetite responses to an imposed activity- and diet-induced energy deficit during a residential intervention programme for obese children. Design:
A 6-week intervention of fixed, reduced dietary intake and 6 h/day of skill-based physical activity while resident in a weight loss camp. Subjects:
Thirty-eight obese (mean body mass index (BMI)=34.9 kg m-2) boys and girls (mean age 13.9 1.57). Measurements:
An electronic appetite rating system (EARS) was used to periodically measure subjective appetite sensations at the start (WK1) and at the end (WK6) of the camp. Subjective ratings of hunger and fullness were compared at the start and end of 6 weeks of an activity- and diet-induced-based weight loss intervention. Results:
At the end of the 6 weeks, the children had lost 8.4 kg in body mass. The diurnal profiles of subjective appetite sensations demonstrated clear oscillations in hunger and fullness. There was a significant increase in hunger (P<0.0001) and decrease in fullness (P<0.005) at the end (WK6) of the medium-term energy deficit. In WK6, morning ratings of hunger were higher than in WK1 (P<0.005) and the fixed energy evening meal induced a lower suppression of hunger (P<0.02). Conclusion:
A programme of fixed, reduced-dietary intake combined with an activity and behavioural programme was successful at inducing a significant reduction in body mass in obese children. Subjective sensations of appetite were sensitive to a medium-term negative energy balance and weight loss. These data are essential as we continue to evolve methods of treatment for overweight and obese children.

Gallery doesn't lose head over public opinion
Confronting … one of the pieces, Flying Bird is
Photo: Dean Sewell
IN THE entrance hall of the White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale is an enormous white sculpture of a naked man reeling backwards, his partially severed head hanging by a flap of flesh and sinew.
Unlike state galleries and museums, White Rabbit need not concern itself with public opinion. A privately run gallery, it exists to showcase the idiosyncratic and personal Chinese contemporary collection of Judith Neilson, the wife of the billionaire fund-manager Kerr Neilson.
In its second exhibition, opening on Thursday, works that are funny, reflective and beautiful share floor and wall space with works that are violent and sexually explicit.
The most confronting images are in the photographic series Red Star Motel, by the artist known only as Chili.
The staged images depict sordid and illegal happenings in Chinese motel rooms. There are standover men and bloodied victims, naked porn stars and a couple on a drug binge.
The Neilsons did not set out to create a controversial show. Alongside the more difficult images are domestic interior paintings by Dong Yuan, Cong Lingqi's sculpted everyday objects and Zhang Chun Hong's 11-metre drawing of braided hair.
But as a private institution, funded by the Neilsons' $30 million foundation, it has more freedom than government-funded galleries.
''We don't have to report to a million people to get permission to do something,'' said the Neilsons' daughter, Paris, the gallery's collection manager.
''You lose a lot of the bureaucracy that is faced by the public institutions.''
Galleries that showcase private collections have a long tradition in the US, but in Sydney White Rabbit is unique. With free admission and no work for sale, it has more in common with the Art Gallery of NSW and the Museum of Contemporary Art than with commercial galleries.
The Neilsons are developing a schedule of talks, film nights and cultural events that echo the public programs of state institutions. Nevertheless, they say the gallery will not compete for the audiences who traditionally attend public galleries.
''All we are doing is adding something more to Sydney's cultural scene,'' Paris Neilson said.

Coming up on three yeast since GTA IV was released, and folks.... this game is still the most relevant, deep, and satisfying game world ever created.
RELEVENT: Since GTA III, this franchise has always been about pinpointing the feeling of an era while remaining current and relevent. GTA IV is more so than ever. Liberty City, like all American cities, is a post 9/11 world. There is obvious parody which is fine, and other games do parody, but GTA IV does the best kind of parody, it innundates you with an entire world of quality parody. Of course, the usually radio system is in full form, but the addition of television and internet systems add multiple outlets for Rockstars parody of a perfect pitch. There is no more relevent game in the market today than GTA IV.
DEEP: GTA San Andreas was an amazing game in its own right, but Rockstar took a different approach to GTA IV. Instead expanding the game world further, they shrunk it, and made it deaper. There are elements of GTA III in almost every game made today; not just in open-world games either. If Super Mario 64 showed developers how to use the 3rd demension, GTA III showed them how to make living 3d environments. Rockstar has taken the next natural step with GTA IV and created an imperfect & lived-in 3d world. When you drive through the world you will eather, 1) Take it for granted, or 2) be in awe of it's complexity and functionality.
SATISFYING: PLEASE do not overlook the world of GTA IV by trying to make it through the story. If you do that you are missing the point and should be playing Gears of War or a similar such game. Instead, take your time with it, play slowly, make friends, watch some tv, go to a show, get drunk... Listen, if you play GTA IV like a game, you will completely miss it's greatest strengths. If, however, you try your best to live in Liberty City for a while, you will see how astonishing this game really is, which is soooo satisfying.
In conclusion... do not play this game if you are an impatient pleasure junkie who prefers firey explosions (even though the firey explosions are great) to creative explosions. GTA IV is a creative explosion. If you grew up in the era < or = to n64, this game is a revelation on the scale of Ocarina of Time. Live in it and enjoy! Thanks for listening.

I thought this poll was oddly worded. This case wasn't a challenge to America's RKBA; it was a challenge to the handgun laws violating the RKBA. The issue isn't settled. Even in states where the state-level constitution has a 2A analogue (some pre-dating the Bill of Rights), we have to fight for our RKBA all the time, precisely because the issue is never at rest.
The first choice in the poll, that this issue should be reserved to the states and municipalities, and should not have been incorporated against the states, is a completely separate issue from whether or not the "gun issue" and RKBA are settled law.

Ukraine says Russian invasion has begun
Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has said Russian forces have invaded his country, with Kiev calling for an emergency EU and UN meeting.
Ditching a planned trip to Turkey on Thursday (26 August), Poroshenko in a TV address in the rain in front of his jet said that: "I have made a decision to cancel my working visit … due to a sharp aggravation of the situation in the Donetsk region [in east Ukraine], particularly in Amvrosiivka and Starobeshevo, as Russian troops have actually been introduced into Ukraine".

He noted that he will convene a special meeting of Ukraine's security council, the NSDC.
He also called for snap talks by the UN Security Council, noting: "The world must provide an assessment of the sharp aggravation of the situation".
Ukraine's prime minister, Aresniy Yatsenyuk, in a separate TV statement, said: "It's quite difficult for us to fight with Russia and its army. We urge the EU and the US to freeze all Russian assets until Russia pulls back its forces".
Ukraine's ambassador to the EU, Konstantin Yeliseyev, noted in a communique that EU leaders at their summit on Saturday in Brussels should devote a special session to Ukraine, adding: "Solidarity … should materialise in further resolute significant sanctions [against Russia] and large-scale military and technical assistance to Ukraine".
Russian forces already invaded Ukraine when Russia seized Crimea in March.
The EU and the US imposed economic sanctions on Russia over Crimea and over its supply of weapons and irregular fighters to pro-Russia rebels in east Ukraine over the past five months.
But Kiev, Washington, and some EU capitals said on Thursday that Russia crossed a new line when its soldiers overtly took part in attacks against government forces in south-east Ukraine.
"We consider this as a real invasion," a Ukrainian diplomat told EUobserver.
A diplomat from one eastern European EU country said: "Now there is a direct Russian military invasion, so the EU should react accordingly. The possibility of further sanctions will be discussed".
Edgars Rinkevics, the foreign minister of Latvia, tweeted: "UN must react accordingly, this is war".
For its part, the EU foreign service has said foreign ministers will hold talks on Ukraine at an informal meeting in Milan this weekend.
An EU diplomat noted that Poroshenko is due in Brussels on Saturday morning to meet with EU Council chief Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso in the margins of an EU summit devoted to filling the bloc's top posts.
He added that EU leaders will discuss Ukraine on Saturday evening and that Poroshenko may be invited to join them depending how events unfold.
Meanwhile, Van Rompuy in his invitation letter to EU leaders said the second half of the summit will be in the presence of foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton to "discuss a number of pressing international issues."
In a separate move, the commission also on Thursday said it will pay EU producers of butter, skimmed milk powder, and selected cheeses to put excess stock into cold storage over the next three to seven months.
The decision comes after Russia imposed a ban on EU food imports earlier this month in retaliation at EU measures against its banks and energy firms.
The commission also said member states are due in October to file reports on how they would cope if Russia cuts off supplies of gas to EU customers via Ukraine in the coming winter.
