You're Not Gonna Believe What Happened
So if this thing end up radioactive and I stub my toe on it, will I get superpowers proportional to that of an actual Ferrari Spider?
No, we're not talking about that thing we're selling super cheap that sold out almost instantly. We're talking about the ongoing story in the daily write-ups! Since last we recapped, everyone's been trying new things and stepping a little outside their comfort zones.
More and more, Jake is expressing his independence while dabbling in the culinary arts and matters of the heart.
Olivia also develops a crush, and an interest in all things football even though she's just trying to prove to her mother that she's not so one-dimensional.
Tim is totally bummed when he realizes that Jake is growing up, but they quickly find something new to bond over … preservative-packed meat in a tube! Meanwhile, Michelle is trying her hand at a little creative expression, but finds out it's a lot harder than she thought.
Alex and his friend Ricky instigate a prank war with their college pal Donald, who chooses the most inopportune, albeit hilarious, moment to exact his revenge. But as far as Alex is concerned, it's not over until the fat Elmo sings.
So stick around to see how it all unfolds, and to see what other super human feat Ella accomplishes next!

Some areas received strong storms, including large hail, last night while other areas received no rain.
From a cropping standpoint,
1. Corn growing points are still below ground, even for the earliest planted corn, so the expectation is that corn should make a full recovery. The exception may be if the soil was extremely soft and hail stones penetrated deeply enough into the soil to hit the growing point. In 3 - 5 days, it should be evident if there are problems. Resources are at:

b. http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Pages/eccrops/hailcorn.html
c. http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Pages/eccrops/hailcornchart.html
2. Soybean growing points are above ground as soon as the seedling emerges. Plants cut off below the cotyledons will not survive. Resources are at:
a. http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Pages/eccrops/hailsoy.html
b. http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Pages/eccrops/hailsoychart.html
3. Small grain (oats, wheat, rye, etc.) damage, like corn, depends on the growth stage and degree and type of damage. Joe Lauer at the University of Wisconsin addresses this at http://corn.agronomy.wisc.edu/WCM/W075.aspx.
4. Forage damage also depends on the growth stage and degree and type of damage. Dan Undersander and Dan Wiersma at the University of Wisconsin address this at http://www.uwex.edu/ces/forage/pubs/HAIL.htm.

Springfield loaded about 750-8 bones Colts are nice but don't have all the stuff i want out of the box usually .. not that i don't have a colt
This is a discussion on Need help on my first 1911 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; You can't go wrong with the original. COLT...
You can't go wrong with the original.

Springfield loaded about 750-8 bones Colts are nice but don't have all the stuff i want out of the box usually .. not that i don't have a colt
Take a look at the Dan Wesson models, they are sweet.
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
The only brands I will currently consider are Colt, SIG, and Dan Wesson, in that order. Personally I feel these three give you a lot for your money. My Colt has run perfectly through over 700 rounds. SIG has exceptional build quality and uses no MIM parts, which is a big deal for me. Dan Wesson also does not use MIM and has many desirable features, such as the bobtail and night sights. I dislike Kimber for the reasons previously stated; the external extractor fiasco and overabundance of MIM parts. Springfield builds a good gun, but also uses too much MIM and doesn't build a true Commander. Their design has a 4" bull barrel. I see no need to deviate from a design which has worked well for nearly a century. S&W has a great thing with their Scandium framed Commander, but then they screw it up with a giant cutout in the barrel hood to function as a "loaded chamber indicator" (the damn thing is always loaded why the need for an indicator?) and the Swartz safety system. Were they to build a Commander without the gadgets I would be all over it. Alas it's not meant to be. Anyway, hopefully that gives you a bit more food for thought. Good luck!

I can tell you what NOT to buy....
I owned a Para-Ord PXT 1911 pistol about a year and a half ago. Hands down the most accurate gun I ever owned plus recoil was at minimum due to the weight of the pistol. It was also an attractive looking firearm. However reassembling the gun after field stripping it for cleaning was like pulling teeth....I would fight with the thing to get it back together. One day at the range I was pointing the gun downrange at the target and I fired a shot while the safety was still engaged! This scared the crap out of me...especially since at the range I usually had this gun in a OWB holster condition-one (round in chamber, hammer back, safty engaged). I brought the pistol to the shop at which I had bought it and they sent it to para to be repaired. Although service was swift and cost me the bubble I traded it the day it came back for a Glock.
I would love to own another 1911 down the line, probably a Kimber, but personally I will never buy another Para product.
Any similar experiences?
"Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."
I have a Kimber CDP,and a Para LTC both are nice pistols that have not gave any problems. The CDP will cost more than the $1000.00 you want to spend, and the LTC cost $860.00
Some Colt models still do. My XSE has the pony there.Originally Posted by OD
Whew, thanks Bruce. Thought I was losing it there for a minute! I am, but that's beside the point. I would've sworn my old MKIV Series 80 Enhanced had the pony, guess anything's possible though.Originally Posted by Bruces45
Jack, Bruce, my apologies fellas I had forgotten the Enhanced series & limited production guns and was only thinking of the standard Gubmints.

I enjoy my Para LTC. Alloy frame. Paid about $650. No problems after intital break in of 100 rounds or so.
For carry, take a serious look at the S&W. I know they aren't perfect, but the Scandium frames are light and will stand up to as much use as a steel frame. They also have nice trigger pulls and all their deviations from the standard actually work (external extractore and Schmitt grip safety).
According to Sig's website, they are coming out with a carry sized GSR (I have the full size Revolution), but I don't think it will have an alloy frame.

There is more carbon dioxide stored in the ground than in the air around us. If those all that greenhouse gas escapes, it could be catastrophic for the earth. Now, a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin thinks he's found the key that keeps much of it locked away. It's research that could revolutionize how we understands climate change, and potentially help us combat it, and it all has to do with a feast happening just under your feet.

- Stylist:
- Natasha
Dec 30, 2010 - Natasha did an excellent job with my hair and my little one's hair (5 and 8). She was sweet, gentle, and fast. I had a great time and my girls did too. The three of us have natural hair of different textures and some stylists do not know how to handle it. She was great and is very experienced with natural hair. My girls and I were very happy with how we were treated and loved our styles. I recommend her for people who have natural hair and those who have relaxers. I don't plan on ever going to another stylist. When I think about our new stylist, I hear violins playing and my heart sings.

- - Coleman stove in the cockpit? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/99538-coleman-stove-cockpit.html)
Coleman stove in the cockpit?
I've been reading the posts re: stoves on the boat and while an Origo is on the list of things to buy, it's simply not in the budget right now. Sandwiches every week are going to get tiresome, so I was thinking of using our Coleman propane stove in the cockpit and storing the propane containers in the lazarette. Good idea? Terrible idea? Any other ideas?
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
Hey why not!!!. Improvise with some common sense.
Make a wooden crate to custom fit a Coleman stove which will serve as the wind breaker. Make a few braces to secure the pot safely so you wont get burn.
Whatever you do, just think it through and don't get hurt. I assume that you won't light up the stove in a rage. :)
Have fun and be safe.
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
I have done similar with a Coleman stove.
But to be truly ANAL about it, storing a propane canister inside the boat that is not an ABYC approved propane locker is a no-no. Storing propane canisters inside your lazarette is inside the boat. The smaller canisters could be lashed to stanchions or anywhere outside the cabin when not in use.
An anchor locker with an overboard drain approximates a propane locker.
If your canisters aren't leaking it is all a pretty moot point, no?
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
no problem.
many years ago i sold my albin vega to a young couple who wanted to take it to the bahamas. it had a kenyon two burner kerosene stove (you're probably not old enough to remember them).
two years later we met up with them in the bahamas. they had ditched the kero stove as too smelly and too complicated. instead they used a coleman lpg camp stove. they didn't use the small bottles; they hooked up a 20lb tank whenever they wanted to cook and then unhooked it. kept the 20lb bottle in the cockpit.
if you decide to use the 1lb bottles, remember that they can be refilled with a little attachment from a 20lb bottle (a lot cheaper than buying 1lb bottles). also, they fit inside a 4" pvc pipe, so with a little ingenuity you can make a topside storage container for them.
always store lpg containers outdoors. if the container leaks the gas is heavier than air and settles into the bilge. not good.....
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
Top of the companion way hatch is a good place for a stove. use something to protect the lid. use bungees to keep the stove in place. (with small piece of chain to keep the bungees off the hot sheet metal. Make a PVC pipe with screwed in plug to put your propane cylinders in. (never store propane below, ever)
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
I use a Coleman in the cabin..Heavens Forbid ! ;) I stow the tanks in the vented, wet locker port side cockpit when not in use. Of course, the placement of the stove on the counter is nearly directly under the open hatch. :D
I have NO problem hooking it all up the night before so's I don;t hafta fiddle with it while still half asleep to start the coffee. If I'm staying at the dock, I'll leave it all rigged, ready to go if I wanna cook summat up. Leave the boat or get under way? It gets stowed, sans bottle. 40-some odd years of working with and camping with 1# canisters and I've never (yet!) had a leak. 20, 30 and 100 pounders? Yep..leak like sieves if ya don;t know what's what;)
Just use common sense and play it as safe as ya want. Lloyd's sponsored a destructive test of a sailboat. The propane section took enuff C-4 ta blow the boat up...really...than it needed to get the propane to go off. Took quite a few tries with escalating ignition sources, too
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
make a storage container out of PVC or ABS pipe and attach it to a stanchion with a couple of cable ties and away you go...no storage issues.
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
I have one of these?
When I had a 22 foot boat I would grill andouille sausage on it on the low side. During the tack someone was on the helm, on sheets, and someone on the grill for the tack. The person on the grill would move the grill from old low side to new low side during the tack. Its a nice little unit for either camping or boating. To be safe keep the bottles outside of the cabin. Either leave them in the cockpit or in cockpit cubby if they fit.
Re: Coleman stove in the cockpit?
OK - Lets see a show of hands. How many of you have experienced a one pound canister leak? Personally, never in 50 years and hundreds of canisters. Did have some alcohol stove fires, though.

I am going to be taking the class in July, I was wondering is anyone else is interested, instructors include massad ayoob and chuck taylor
Concealed Carry Realities - As part of the process to obtain a concealed carry permit, most states now require the applicant to complete some form of training, usually a NRA Basic Handgun Course or the equivalent. While these courses do teach the fundamentals of handgun operation and their safe handling on a target range, they do not come close to preparing the student for carrying a weapon in public. Inappropriate display (even unintentionally) or use of a weapon can result in consequences ranging from a simple loss of your permit to bankruptcy and/or prison time. CCR is an informal, one day seminar which combines material from both the 3 Day Defensive Handgun Course and Massad Ayoob's LFI1 to provide permit holders with an understanding of the skills - physical, tactical and intellectual - needed by those who carry a firearm for self-defense. Included are a wide variety of topics including weapon selection and carry techniques, the use of deadly force, shooting techniques, interacting with the police and much, much more. Includes both classroom and live fire range work.
Instruction by ASAA Staff Tuition $135 June 14 Aug 22
after this, (if i can afford it) I intend to take the 3 day defense handgun course :
Three-Day Defensive Handgun Course - This highly condensed course provides the student with a complete overview of the subject of combat handgunning. It is both the foundation of and prerequisite for all other ASAA handgun training and an introduction to the ASAA interrogated approach to small arms usage. The class is suitable for shooters of all experience levels and employs techniques and tactics that were developed to be the most effective way to fight, not to excel in competition. Includes: when you can and cannot use deadly force for self defense, the myth of firepower, weapon and equipment selection and modification, ammunition selection, tactics, sight picture and alignment, evaluation of the currently popular grips and stances, the "Ready" position and why only one, presentation from the ready and holster, close range high speed shooting, pivots and turns, malfunction clearances, failure to stop drills, tactical and speed loading and why both are usually taught/used incorrectly. Live fire is from 3 to 15 meters. Includes approximately 6 hours of classroom and 18 hours range. All the classes listed below run Friday thru Sunday. A special class for those attending this year's LFI1 is described on at the end of the "Ayoob" page.
Instruction by ASAA Staff Tuition $475 April 11 - 13 June 20 - 22 July 11 - 13 Aug 8 - 10 Oct 3 - 5

Pro-Exchange: Exchange 2007 Notes from the field
Thursday, October 22, 2009 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM (CEST)
Event Details
With the arrival of Exchange 2010 you will hear a lot of noise on this technology and as an Exchange community we will surely contribute to that noise.
However not everybody has the opportunity to move to Exchange 2010, some of use are still on Exchange 2003, or even on Exchange 5.5, and are currently in transition to Exchange 2007.
Therefore we decided that our next community event will be on "lessons learned" when implementing Exchange 2007. Let's call it Exchange 2007: Notes from the field...
In 2 hours we will try to go over the following topics:
- Firewall & Static Ports
- Scalability
- Cross-Forest Availability, IOREPL
- Transitioning
- High Availability options (SSC vs CCR vs SCR)
- Storage (DAS vs SAN)
- Acceptance & Validation (ex. Loadgen)
- Troubleshooting (Perfmon, Extram, Usermon,ExRCA, etc..)
- and much more...
The idea is that we will present all of these topics in powerpoint format but to get the most out of this event we expect you to INTERACT. We want to hear about your horror stories, lessons learned and how you creatively worked around an issue.
This event is 100% pure tech talk... :-)

The company may now market Berinert for the treatment of acute abdominal or facial attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) of moderate and severe intensity. HAE is a rare and serious genetic disorder.
CSL Behring announced today it has been granted national marketing authorization in Italy and Luxembourg to market Berinert® for the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in any body location. This latest authorization brings to 28 the number of countries (in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Australia) in which Berinert is now licensed.
Patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) experience prodromal or early warning symptoms before nearly three-quarters of their HAE attacks, according to survey findings presented today at the 2010 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting. According to researchers, this high frequency suggests that prodromal symptoms may reliably indicate when to initiate treatment to help prevent an acute HAE attack.
C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) concentrate is an effective, well-tolerated therapy that rapidly relieves acute swelling attacks and successive attacks at any body location in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare and serious genetic disorder, according to data presented today at the 2010 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting. Additional pharmacokinetic data presented at the meeting confirms that C1-INH concentrate has a longer half-life than other treatment options for HAE, which protects patients from rebound attacks.
CSL Behring announced today the launch of the Berinert® Expert Network (B.E.N.™ ), a full-service support program for healthcare providers and for hereditary angioedema (HAE) patients and their caregivers. HAE is a rare and serious disorder that causes swelling in various parts of the body. In October the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted marketing approval for Berinert C1-Esterase Inhibitor, Human for the treatment of acute abdominal or facial attacks of HAE, a rare and serious genetic disorder, in adult and adolescent patients. The safety and efficacy of Berinert for prophylactic therapy have not been established. Berinert is now available through specialty pharmacies and distributors in the United States.

UPDATE 1-France's Altice in talks to buy Suddenlink Communications -sources
(Adds own sourcing, background, details)
By Leila Abboud and Greg Roumeliotis
May 19 (Reuters) - French telecommunications group Altice SA is in advanced talks to buy U.S.-based Suddenlink Communications in a deal that could value the cable operator at up to $10 billion, including debt, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The deal, which could be announced in the coming days, has not yet been finalised and could still fall apart.
The regional cable company, backed by private-equity firm BC Partners and a Canadian pension fund, operates in the South and Midwest and has 1.43 million customers.
If finalized, the deal would take Altice, which is controlled by French billionaire Patrick Drahi, into the massive cable market of the United States for the first time.
Drahi has turned Altice into a serial acquirer since taking it public in January 2014. Last year alone, the group used its French cable company Numericable to take over the country's second largest mobile carrier SFR, as well as snapping up Portugal Telecom and another operator in the Dominican Republic.
The Suddenlink deal could push off a long mooted consolidation in France where Altice has openly said that it would be the natural buyer of number three mobile player Bouygues Telecom.
In recent months Bouygues' owner tycoon Martin Bouygues has said his company is dedicated to remaining independent. Continued...

Benefits of Oil Changes in Sacramento, CA
Why are oil changes so important?
Let's take a look at some fresh motor oil. It's a translucent amber color, a lighter color than honey, and is slippery to the touch. That's what clean, virgin motor oil is supposed to look like. Now, let's compare it to some used oil. The used oil is dark and murky, the color of black coffee. It smells like gasoline and acids and is often slightly gritty when rubbed between the thumb and forefinger.
How did it get that way?The internal combustion engine runs on thousands of tiny explosions inside the cylinders. Those explosions create a great deal of heat and carbon, and the carbon makes its way into engine oil, contaminating it. Modern motor oil formulations contain detergents and other additives that help suspend contaminants in the oil, so they can be trapped in the paper element of the oil filter as the oil circulates through the engine.
Eventually the oil filter becomes so saturated with carbon and gunk that it can't absorb any more; at this point, the impurities in oil will start accumulating on the bearings and other internal assemblies. The impurities in the oil may be only about a micron in size, but they can accelerate wear in the extremely close tolerances between moving parts. The sludgy buildups on the bearings and valve components will also shorten engine life and speed up wear.
Oil Changes in Sacramento, CAOlder formulations of motor oil required an oil change at 3,000 mile intervals. Today's conventional oils can be changed at intervals of 5-7,000 miles with no premature wear to the engine. Synthetic motor oils, while more expensive per quart, outperform conventional oil in just about every respect. Synthetics are more stable and less prone to thicken in cold weather or thin out at high temperatures, and offer better protection all the way around. Synthetic motor oils generally call for a 10-12,000 mile oil change interval. Always consult your owner's manual for manufacturer's recommendations .
Regardless of whether you use conventional or synthetic oil in your vehicles, the best way to get the longest miles out of your engine is to have the oil changed at regular intervals. At Valley Tire and Wheels in Sacramento, CA, we do a lot of oil changes for our customers. Make an appointment with us and let us get your oil change needs taken care of!

Importance: The human brain forms a large-scale structural network of regions and interregional pathways. Recent studies have reported the existence of a selective set of highly central and interconnected hub regions that may play a crucial role in the brain's integrative processes, together forming a central backbone for global brain communication. Abnormal brain connectivity may have a key role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
Objective To examine the structure of the rich club in schizophrenia and its role in global functional brain dynamics.
Design Structural diffusion tensor imaging and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging were performed in patients with schizophrenia and matched healthy controls.
Results Rich club organization between high-degree hub nodes was significantly affected in patients, together with a reduced density of rich club connections predominantly comprising the white matter pathways that link the midline frontal, parietal, and insular hub regions. This reduction in rich club density was found to be associated with lower levels of global communication capacity, a relationship that was absent for other white matter pathways. In addition, patients had an increase in the strength of structural connectivity–functional connectivity coupling.
Conclusions Our findings provide novel biological evidence that schizophrenia is characterized by a selective disruption of brain connectivity among central hub regions of the brain, potentially leading to reduced communication capacity and altered functional brain dynamics.
The human brain is a complex network of structurally and functionally interconnected regions. Studies examining the brain's underlying network structure are motivated by the notion that brain function is not solely attributable to the properties of individual regions or individual connections but rather emerges from the network organization of the brain as a whole, the human connectome. Conversely, brain dysfunction may result from abnormal wiring of the brain's network.
The notion that schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, loss of initiative, and cognitive dysfunction, may relate to disconnectivity among brain regions has a long history. As cited by Stephan, Wernicke was among the first to suggest that schizophrenia may involve anatomical disruption of association pathways. Bleuler, who coined the term schizophrenia, hypothesized that decoupling of psychological processes might be the primary cause of the disease. Lately, studies using imaging techniques, such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have reported widespread disconnectivity in patients, in particular reduced integrity of frontal and temporal white matter connections and affected functional coupling of the default mode network.
A few highly connected and central regions, the so-called hub nodes, have a key role in the global topology of the brain's network. Previous network studies report disruptions in the overall organization of structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) in patients with schizophrenia, together with a less centralized position of some of these hubs in the frontal, temporal, and parietal cortex. However, it remains unknown whether reduced connectivity of hubs constitutes a nonspecific generalized phenomenon involving white matter connectivity to and from all brain regions or whether this disruption disproportionally involves pathways that link highly connected regions. In the healthy brain, hubs have been found to be densely interconnected, together forming a central core or rich club, with rich club connections having a pivotal role in interregional brain communication. We test the hypothesis that disturbed wiring of this central rich club may contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
Using neuroimaging data in a group of 48 patients and 45 healthy controls, we examined potentially abnormal connectivity of the brain's rich club and the relationship of a disruption of this communication backbone to (reduced) levels of global communication capacity and changed functional dynamics in the brain networks of patients. An independently acquired data set of patients and controls (41 patients and 51 controls) was used to replicate possible findings.

Want to browse the Web faster, without paying extra for more bandwidth? It's simple to do. Just use one of these three free services to hack the DNS system for faster and more reliable surfing.
All these tools improve your computer's access to the Domain Name System (DNS), which is the core technology for browsing the Web. Web servers and Internet routers don't understand the URLs you normally type into your browser, such as www.itworld.com. Instead, they require numeric IP addresses, such as 184.108.40.206. That's where the DNS system comes in. When you type in a URL, a DNS server translates, for example, from www.itworld.com to 22.214.171.124.
If the DNS server takes its much resolving the address, or if there's a delay in your contacting the DNS server, there will be a delay getting to a Web site, no matter your bandwidth. So speeding up name resolution can speed up Web surfing. That's where these three tools come in. They're faster, more reliable and potentially more secure than your ISPs' DNS servers. With that background, here are three to try.
This is my favorite DNS service, and one that I've been using for years. It's fast, it's reliable, it's secure, and it gives you lots of extras as well. Not only have I found it to be faster than my ISP's DNS servers, but more reliable as well. There have been times when because of my ISP's DNS problems I couldn't browse the Web. But using OpenDNS fixed the problem. There are plenty of extras as well, including phishing protection and more.
When you sign up, you'll also get instructions about how to to use the service. It'll only take you a few minutes, and will be well worth your time.
This is another worthy free DNS service. Google knows a thing or two about DNS, so it's fast and reliable. I've used it on and off since it's launch, and have never had a problem with it. If you're looking for instructions about how to use it for Windows, the Mac, or Linux, check this page.
This free, open source software works slightly differently from OpenDNS or Google Public DNS, and requires some additional work. With those services, you don't download any software. Instead, you make some minor system changes, and your work is done. namebench, instead, is free downloadable software for Windows, the Mac, and Linux. When you run it, it tests many different DNS servers, including OpenDNS, Google Public DNS, your ISP's DNS, and many others, and tells you which is fastest. At that point, you go in and change your DNS settings to use the fastest DNS, in the same way that you would change them to user OpenDNS or Google Public DNS.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > The Life and Legacy of Nelson Mandela
The death of Nelson Mandela is prompting an outpouring of emotional and heartfelt tributes from around the world, as citizens of South Africa and beyond remember the courageous and inspirational leadership of a very special man. Below is a sampling of thoughts from several Harvard Kennedy School faculty members who remember the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
Matt Andrews, associate professor
It is not a shock to hear that Nelson Mandela has passed. I have been expecting the news every day since he was admitted to hospital in June. But this does not make the news easier to take. Madiba means a lot to me, and to my country, and to most people who are engaged in the kind of work we do at the Kennedy School. It is incredibly sad to think that he is no longer on this earth, where we need him so much: as a reminder that broad public good can triumph over narrow private interest, perfect courage can come from people who are still working out their imperfections, one can be both strategic and good, and passion and patience can triumph over the many poisons we confront in this world.
In the coming weeks I expect we will hear many stories about Madiba's great influence. My story is hardly as interesting as most you will hear, but I do have one. It was in 1993 and I was an undergraduate student at the (then) University of Natal in Durban. Mr. Mandela was visiting the university to give a speech in advance of the elections that were due to be held in 1994. I had not signed up to attend the speech, mostly because I was not sure how I fitted into the picture of a changing South Africa. Given the country's history, I wondered what right I had to even attend such a meeting as a young and privileged white male who had benefited from a social, political and economic order that had hurt so many others. And I guess I wondered what role I could expect to play in trying to make things right.
I was waiting outside the student's union building, however, and managed to locate myself close to the place where the official motorcade arrived. To my surprise, Mr. Mandela exited his car, walked in my direction, held out his hand, and said "Goeie dag, ek is Nelson Mandela" (introducing himself in Afrikaans, the language of many white people in South Africa). He moved on quickly, as people do when they are in demand, and I expect mine was one of a hundred hands he shook that day. But it was a once in a lifetime moment for me, and I remember it as a key point in my journey: If Nelson Mandela could accept me as a white male, then maybe I did have a right to engage and a role to play in my country's future (and, it turns out, in the future of the African continent).
This was the magic of Mandela: to cross boundaries and inspire, and to heal and include. I imagine there are many people in public service and beyond who can share similar ways in which the great man affected their lives, and I know that there are many in my country who wonder what we will do without him. He may not have been in public life for the last decade, but he made a difference 'just being here'. But he is now no longer here. This means that we who were inspired by him need to step up and take upon ourselves some of the moral responsibilities he carried; in South Africa and in the many areas of regional and global policy where his voice often spoke for those who were silenced by poverty and repression. He showed us that we all have a role to play, and his example suggests that we should dream about the possibilities of development and not be scared by the constraints, and that we should dare to work hard and with others to make those dreams real. The best way to honor his memory is to continue dreaming and ensure that we work in this way, across boundaries, to keep making the world better.
Before pushing up my sleeves in this effort, however, let me join my fellow South Africans in saying a final goodbye: Hambe kahle, Madiba, and thank you.
Calestous Juma, professor of the practice of international development, from The New Scientist
For much of the world Nelson Mandela was the icon of the age of modern liberation that started with Mahatma Gandhi and reached its height with South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994.
What is less well known is that the struggle for political freedom was closely associated with the desire to develop scientific and technological capacity.
Apartheid did not just separate races. Probably the most destructive of its legacies was to restrict non-whites from getting technical training. What is more, this exclusion was not unique to South Africa but part of a wider political culture that defined Africa as a region with low levels of technological expertise.
Mandela understood that exclusion from education was a major limiting factor to development. He said education was "the most powerful weapon with which you can change the world".
Motivated by this concern, Mandela lent his name to the creation of a new generation of African Institutes of Science and Technology, seen as the beginning of a new generation of African research universities. Two have already been established, in Tanzania and Nigeria, and a third is planned in Burkina Faso....
The institutes will need to be part of an educational agenda that starts with children. As Mandela said: "There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."
Mandela will be remembered as one of the greatest leaders of all time. One of the best ways to live up to his loftiest aspirations for Africa is to give future generations science and technology education that gives them the skills to expand their economic opportunity.
The next age of liberation will involve enabling Africa to play its rightful role in the global knowledge economy. Many battles lie ahead, but we can draw inspiration from Mandela's moral and political courage. In his own words: "It always looks impossible until it is done."

Ryan Schimpf had four hits and hit a pair of home runs to highlight a 16-hit day as the Tigers continued their weekend-long closing down of the historic stadium.
The Bulldogs actually scored first Saturday. Grant Hogue led off the game with a single. After moving to second base on a groundout, Hogue scored thanks to his 24th stolen base of the season and a throwing error on the steal attempt.
LSU erased the deficit with a four-run third inning. In that at-bat, Leon Landry, Schimpf, Michael Hollander and Jared Mitchell began the inning with consecutive singles. Hollander's hit scored Landry, while Schimp was retired trying to take an extra base. A towering three-run home run by Blake Dean gave LSU a 4-1 advantage.
An inning later, the Tigers expanded the lead with five more runs. D. J. LeMahieu started things with a one-out single. Leon Landry followed with a two-run home run. Consecutive singles by Schimpf, Hollander and Mitchell ended the day for MSU starter Ricky Bowen. Mitchell's hit scored Schimpf to make the lead 7-1. Michael Busby followed Bowen to the mound. A wild pitch scored one run while an RBI-single by Micah Gibbs scored another.
In the fifth inning, a solo home run by Schimpf ran the lead to 10-1 LSU.
The Bulldogs scored in the next at-bat when Tyler Moore hit his team-best 13th home run of the season over the left field fence.
LSU extended the lead with three more scores in the seventh inning.
MSU capped its scoring with two runs in the eighth inning. Ryan Powers reached on an infield error and later scored on a double by Mark Goforth. Andy Rice followed with a single. Tyler Moore hit a groundball out scoring Goforth.
Schimpf hit his second home run of the day with a three-run shot over the right field fence in the home half of the eighth inning.
The Tigers finished with 16 hits. Schimpf had four hits to pace the LSU offensive attack. Landry, Hollander and Mitchell each had multiple hits for the hosts.
The Bulldogs finished with five hits.
Winning pitcher Blake Martin (4-3) worked seven innings for LSU. Martin allowed two hits and two runs (one earned), with two walks and eight strikeouts. Nolan Cain and Austin Ross threw an inning apiece in relief for LSU.
Bowen (3-6) took the loss for MSU. Bowen threw 3-1/3 innings, allowing 10 hits and nine runs (all earned), with one walk and three strikeouts. Busby also threw 3-1/3 innings, allowing four hits and four runs (two earned), with three walks and two strikeouts. Forrest Moore completed the contest for MSU.
The Bulldogs and Tigers play the final regular season game at Alex Box Stadium in a 1 p.m. start Sunday. MSU is scheduled to throw senior left-hander Justin Pigott (2-2, 4.42 ERA ). while the LSU starter has not been determined. The Bulldogs will then return home for a four-game homestand to close out the 2008 season. MSU will host Memphis at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday before hosting Arkansas for a weekend SEC series with game times of 6:30 p.m. Thursday, 6:30 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday.

Mrs Malvina Helen Cornell (née Lamson)
Mrs Robert Clifford Cornell (Malvina Helen Lamson), 55, was born on 10 December 1856. Her husband was a son of George J. and Caroline Cornelia Cornell.
A resident of New York City, she boarded the Titanic at Southampton as a first class passenger (ticket number 11770, £25 14s 10d). She occupied cabin C-101.
Mrs Cornell was accompanied by her sisters Mrs Edward Dale Appleton and Mrs John Murray Brown. They were returning to America having attended a family funeral in England. During the voyage they were joined by Miss Edith Corse Evans who boarded at Cherbourg as well as Colonel Archibald Gracie who gallantly offered his services to the unaccompanied ladies.
Mrs Cornell was later rescued in lifeboat 2 with Mrs Appleton. They were eventually reunited with Mrs Brown on board the Carpathia and were surprised to meet their uncle and aunt Mr and Mrs Charles Marshall who were passengers on the vessel.
Robert Clifford Cornell, died in Bayside, Queens, New York on 7 November 1918. Mrs Cornell herself died in New York on 12 July 1941.

'The Last Airbender' swept the board at last night's (26.02.11) Golden Raspberry Awards.
After picking up the main unwanted accolade - dubbed the Razzie - of Worst Picture, the 3D movie was also awarded Worst Screenplay, Worst Supporting Actor for Jackson Rathbone's appearance and Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D, while director M.Night Shyamalan took home Worst Director.
However, the fantasy film wasn't the only movie to pick up multiple awards at the 31st Annual Golden Raspberry Awards, which were held at Los Angeles' Barnsdal Gallery Theatre.
'Sex and the City 2' - which was critically panned when it hit cinemas last summer - took home the Razzie for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel, while its leading ladies Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davies were given the collective nod for Worst Actress and Worst Screen Ensemble.
John Wilson, founder of the awards, said: "It was released in the middle of a period of American history when everyone's scrounging not to lose their homes.
"And these women are riding around in Rolls-Royces, buying expensive shoes and just throwing money around like they're drunk."
Elsewhere, Ashton Kutcher picked up the award for Worst Actor in recognition of his roles in 'Killers' and romantic comedy 'Valentine's Day', while Jessica Alba took home Worst Supporting Actress for quadruple blunders in 'Little Fockers', 'Machete', 'Valentine's Day' and 'The Killer Inside Me'.

I've mostly been following her on Facebook and watching her progress through her weight loss journey! I'm always excited when people make a conscious effort to improve their overall health and fitness, obviously because it's something I'm really passionate about! Evie reached out to me a while back to get some tips on Paleo eating because her husband was interested in making the switch! I'm blown away by the commitment she has shown to improve her fitness, as this is not easy. I also witnessed her strength in hard times and remaining positive and focused on God. I think it's important to share stories because everyone has a different journey and we never know how it will inspire someone else. I asked Evie to share her story because she has been an inspiration to me! Initially she wasn't sure she wanted to for fear of what people would think, but I encouraged her to share it because there are so many things in her story that I felt would resonate with people! So, please take a few moments to read her story…it's awesome!
I was always an overweight child. I was made fun of my entire childhood. I came from an overweight family with overweight habits. My father passed away when I was 15 and my mother nearly died after cardiac arrest when I was in my early 20's. Obesity has haunted me as long as I can remember. I was never happy with being overweight, but I accepted it as my norm. I tried many diets and was successful in losing 60 lbs with Weight Watchers in 2005. Weight Watchers is a great tool for losing weight but like any diet program, it can be abused. I lost my weight without ever stepping foot in a gym or working out. I lost the weight while binge drinking and eating as much fast food as I could fit within my points. I achieved my goal, to lose weight but I went about it in the wrong way and resulted in gaining it all (plus some) back. I went back to living an overweight life.
I continued to gain/lose/gain/lose for my entire adult life. I tried many diet plans, had a personal trainer, gym memberships (plural!) and lacked emotional and spiritual happiness. This all changed in 2011 when I met my husband and renewed my faith in God. Mike met me and fell in love with me while I was extremely overweight. I never believed I deserved to be loved. We were married and had a son all within 1 year. Life had never been more complete for me, however I was still not "happy". After becoming a mother, I knew I needed to change my life. I wanted to do whatever I could to live long enough to see my son grow into a man and grow old with my husband. I did not want my son to have to suffer the emotional scars that come along with being an overweight child nor did I want him to lose his parent to before graduating high school like I did. I decided that I needed to make a radical change to turn my life around. After much discussion with my husband and prayer, I choose to get lap-band surgery in June 2011.
Before I go any further, I will say a couple things about weight loss surgery. There are 2 types of weight loss patients- a person looking for a fix and a person looking for a tool. Surgery is not the easy road. WLS is like any diet or workout program, some succeed and some fail. Just as with any diet or exercise plan, you are in control of your choices. Surgery is not a fail proof solution to weight loss. After having lap-band I am faced with the same choices I was before surgery, I can choose to eat small portions, track my calories and choose healthy foods or choose to drink milk shakes and fast food. Many patients will continue to eat the same foods as they did prior to surgery but in smaller portions. I promised myself that would not be me. Since having surgery I was committed to making healthy lifestyle choices for myself and my family. Immediately after surgery I began walking 3-5 miles with my girlfriend. I was way too insecure to go to a gym in front of "fit" people. It took me 3 months before I took the plunge and got (another) gym membership to ensure I continued my progress! I did the typical 30-45 cardio and light core workouts. I was losing weight steadily, but not dropping inches. My diet consisted of a very low calorie diet with as much protein as I could get in! I was getting in the groove and then…. life happened.
I was laid off from my job of 12 years unexpectedly so my family decided to start over in Las Vegas! December 31, 2012 we found out we were expecting baby #2! We were beyond excited, but I can honestly say I was also a little scared. I had a miserable pregnancy with my 1st child and did not want to regain the weight that I had fought to lose! When I found out I was pregnant with our 2nd child I weighed 180lbs, which was significantly lower than my first pregnancy. Unfortunately, in March 2013 at 16 weeks, we lost our little girl. As expected this was a very difficult time emotionally for our family. I needed an outlet, so instead of eating or drinking away my emotions- I decided to run. I started C25K the Monday after I lost our baby. Running gave me the feeling that I was in control of something and I felt I needed desperately to be in control of something since I had absolutely no control of losing my daughter. This was the start of a new Evie! At this time, I also had my lap-band emptied to enable me to consume enough calories to fuel my workouts as well as give me 100% control over my journey. I signed up for a 5k and started Insanity with my husband. Working out together became a huge bonding experience for us as a couple. Not only did we get stronger physically but we became stronger as a couple. Every night we waited until our son was asleep and then headed out to the garage to workout. After completing the 90 day Insanity program we started doing HIIT training and weights! Our garage was slowly becoming a personal gym. Every night at 7 pm we had a "date" with each other and our gym.
I no longer have a goal to lose weight to become skinny, I want to lose weight and become FIT! Fitness is a way of life for us now. I have modified my diet to be as clean as possible while monitoring my calories, carbs and protein. Our dates now include hikes and jogs instead of always going to eat. As a former fat girl, it's very hard to change your mindset and make yourself eat more to lose more. I am currently within 15 pounds of my goal weight. I have lost a total of 153 from my highest weight and 110 since June 2011. I religiously track my calories, water, consume 0 alcohol and workout 6-7 days per week. I started my journey wearing a (tight) size 20 and I am currently in a 6-8.The biggest surprise along my journey has been that the emotional change can be more difficult than the physical change.
Knowing what I know today, I would not choose to get lap-band because I now have the knowledge and tools to live a healthy life however I do no regret my decision as it helped me to see the strength I never knew I had. It has not been easy, but it has been worth it!
Healthy living is the end goal, how you get there is your choice! I challenge everyone to find a path that works for you and reach for the stars!

I had a lot of sun damage from years in the sun plus a 2 year tour to Hawaii. I had been told that IPL would have AMAZING results on my skin. I had kind of. Amass. It almost looked like I had blush on all the time. During the summer, my complexion was kind of "lacey". I had my treatment in November '11. It wasn't painful, but it wasn't relaxing either. A square hand piece is placed all over the areas needing help and there is a sort of zap. What happens next is the dark spots turn much darker, then they scab a bit and come off. It sounds pretty straight forward, but I was embarrassed by the way my face looked and didn't always go out. It took about 7-8 days. It didn't hurt. It really did look like coffee grounds on skin. Beautiful skin was revealed and It really was a huge difference for me and well worth the money and the process. I hope it helps you, too.

2008 finds Disturbed Indestructible with their fourth album. Disturbed is a rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The group was formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak, and Mike Wengren hired singer David Draiman in Chicago, Illinois. Draiman had grown up in a religious family from which he rebelled, being expelled from five boarding schools in his adolescence. His anger found an outlet in the thrashing sound of Disturbed. They have sold over 10 million albums worldwide. Originally classified as a nu metal band,Disturbed is now regarded by some music critics as hard rock or heavy metal, although others now regard them as alternative metal.
Nearly a decade after the release of their groundbreaking debut, The Sickness, Disturbed have become one of the most respected bands in the hard-rock universe thanks not only to pummeling riffs and jackhammer beats but passionate insights into our troubled times. Three platinum-plus albums—Believe and Ten Thousand Fists charted #1—have led to Indestructible, the group's darkest, angriest outing yet.

Brooke speaks with Siva Vaidhyanathan, professor of media studies at the University of Virginia, about this long-awaited triumph for net neutrality, and about the next digital battleground. Transcript Brooke: From WNYC in New York this is On the Media, Bob Garfield is away this week, I'm Brooke Gladstone. On Thursday, the FCC voted three to two along party lines in favor of net neutrality, reclassifying broadband Internet as a telecom service, like phone lines. The "Open Internet Order" delivered this week also bans Internet Service Providers from giving faster connections to websites that pay for the privilege, or slowing connections to websites that don't. Here's Tom Wheeler, chair of the FCC. Wheeler: This proposal has been described by one opponent as quote "a secret plan to regulate the internet". Nonsense! This is no more a plan to regulate the internet than the first amendment is to regulate free speech. (Cheering) They both stand for the same concept! Openness. Expression and an absence of gatekeepers telling people what they can do, where they can go and what they can think. Wheeler took note of the unprecedented four million citizens who took the time to send their comments to the FCC, overwhelmingly in favor of net neutrality. That was a triumph in and of itself for a drawn-out tech policy debate. Siva Vaidhyanathan, a media studies professor at the University of Virginia, is cheering too. Siva: After years of wrangling and debate and hemming and hawing, the federal communication commission finally decided to reclassify broadband, first of all as being fairly fast - basically the speed that lets you watch youtube videos - and that matters in terms of determining how much competition there is out there. If you classify broadband as being very slow, like DSL, then you can imagine that a lot of americans have choices. When they really don't. It makes sure that its very clear to congress, very clear to everyone who matters, that for most americans there really is no competition and no choice in broadband providers. If we had real competition, we wouldn't need regulations like this necessarily because the company that cheated would get punished in the market (that's the theory anyway). But the most important reclassification is reclassifying broadband internet, high-speed internet like a common carrier, like the phone company. Phone companies don't favor one producer of voice signals over another. What we really needed was for the data flowing out of our walls to be treated the same way. So I think this is a major victory, one that I never would have predicted - I'm usually much more cynical about how all this stuff is gonna go down. Brooke: On the other hand, not to give your cynicism short shrift, you mentioned, as many others have, that this is just the first step. This will inevitably end up in the courts where it will be battled all over again. Are those people just raining on the parade? Siva: When a federal appeals court struck down the previous attempt at network neutrality rules, the court made it pretty clear that if the FCC decided to reclassify broadband under title II, everything would be cool. So there will be legal challenges, but most of those legal challenges will be about the details of the execution of the regulation, but not necessarily about the heart of it. The heart of it being reclassification. More likely we're going to see congress make another run at curbing the influence of the FCC because that's where the lobbyists really work. The lobbyists don't have any influence over the court system. And this time, Congress wasn't in a position to make a stand, largely because of the the public uproar in favor of network neutrality, but they'll just wait for a quieter time and they'll chip away at it. Brooke: The last time I spoke with you it was January of last year, after what many decried as a death blow to network neutrality, the DC circuit court of appeals had struck down the FCC rules. When we spoke, you basically said that it was pretty much irrelevant. Why don't we replay that. Siva (from January 2014): I look at the real decision makers in our information ecosystem, and I see four big companies today. I see Apple, I see Microsoft, I see Facebook and I see Google. And I say, what do those companies want. They aren't necessarily in the business of mastering and monitoring and monetizing what comes over your desktop computer, or even your mobile phone. They want to run the operating systems of your life. They see a time, in the not-too-distant future, where so many different articles in our lives will have data flow through them, and they want to be able to monitor and monetize that data flow. Brooke: So - do you still think now that this vote has passed, that the time has passed for the issue of net neutrality? Siva: What's really significant about this week's decision to codify network neutrality, is that for the first time, it explicitly covers wireless. So that buys us more time and makes this network neutrality provision a lot more relevant for the next five or six years. But what's depressing to me about the network neutrality drama up to this point is that it took so long to even rise to the point that we had an informed, intelligent debate about it in this country. Once we got there, it became really clear to everybody that we really needed to do this. If you weren't cashing checks from comcast, it made sense to support network neutrality. And thats fortunately where we are today. But we should get beyond net neutrality. We should get beyond the desktop. Even beyond the mobile phone. And think very critically about the sorts of technological challenges we have in the next 5-10-20 years. They're going to dwarf the debates of the past. Brooke: What are the other issues that you so ominously refer to that require further regulation? Siva: Look, increasingly, through our mobile devices, through wearable technology, and soon through our automobiles, we are going to face a concentration of power as one or two companies rise to control the flow of data through our lives. The reason that network neutrality doesn't matter to any of that ultimately, is that this new data network that we misnamed the "internet of things" is not at all like the internet, and it will have to be highly secure, it will have to be controlled by maybe one or two companies, and its going to involve all sorts of challenges as we find human bodies being tracked and monitored and perhaps that data being exploited or leaked. Brooke: You know, right now, we have the technology that can go into your car, and make it crash, while you're in it. And you have no control over it. That exists right now! What essentially, will be at the heart of the next debate over the data that flows over the internet? Siva: What we're going to see in the next few years is the control over our bodies as we surrender and outsource decision making to algorithms, data sets, we are going to come up with conflicts and challenges that we can't even articulate yet. But I can definitely say that the sense of for instance ownership over the data we produces - a sense of how open this data will be to state intervention or state examination - we're going to have all sorts of questions over the values that are embedded in these algorithms that are going to make these decisions and figure out whether we're going to have more orange juice in our fridge because the fridges are telling us we're out of orange juice. Well, maybe our fridges can tell us what kind of orange juice, or what brand of orange juice, and maybe there's a contract involved in that - thats going to affect advertising, that's going to affect consumer choices, its going to affect nutrition, there are going to be all sorts of questions of control that come out of these data flows. As you said we're on the precipice of facing these. We already have these technologies in our lives, they're not widely distributed, and my fear is that from a regulatory point of view, we're not mature enough to handle this yet. Brooke: Well, thanks. Siva: Anytime, Brooke. Brooke: Siva Vaidhyanathan is a professor in the media studies department of the University of Virginia and the author of The Googlization of Everything (and why we should worry).
