Education in Parapsychology: Student and Instructor Perspectives By Harvey J. Irwin
Monograph No. 2 in the AIPR Monograph Series in Parapsychology Dr. Lance Storm and Dr. Adam J. Rock, Editors
"This monograph addresses the provision of educational experiences in the field of parapsychology and is designed to meet the needs of both students and instructors. Part 1 of the monograph discusses issues of primary importance to the person who would like to study parapsychology. Topics examined here include motives and misconceptions about parapsychology; and unrealistic expectations and potential benefits of studying parapsychology. Part 2 looks at teaching a course in parapsychology, including the design of a balanced curriculum that maintains critical standards while still accommodating the wide range of students' interests. The future of the discipline of parapsychology depends on the quality of its educational programs. Accordingly, this monograph, by drawing on many of my own successes and failures in teaching parapsychology, will help to enrich the educational experiences of both parapsychology instructors and parapsychology students." Harvey J. Irwin, PhD, Adjunct Research Fellow, University of New England, Armidale, NSW, Australia.

When right-clicking on a document in
skim there are two very useful options:
- Single Page (good for presentations)
- Single Page Continuous (suitable for reading)
Is there a way to define a shortcut which will toggle between the two? I guess
AppleScript and probably this can be helpful. Problem is I don't know how to work with AppleScript.

Hey Tom,
Solid work. Is this an original piece? It seems to draw influence off Bill Goodwin's Queens, and I was just curious to see how you came up with the handling. Any recommendations for resources?
I really liked the visuals of the vanishes and reappearances. Nicely done set to the music as well.
Good vid!

Undifferentiated Acute Leukemia
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My son was diagnosed with acute undifferentiated leukemia. We cannot find any information on this [disease] or on treatment options. Can you help shed some light on this, and why this type of leukemia is treated as AML (acute myelogenous leukemia)?
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
It seems that they are calling this an acute leukemia that is not clearly lymphoid or myeloid, which are the two main types of acute leukemias. Generally, if a leukemia is definitely not lymphoid, it is thought that the best treatment is to manage it as an acute myeloid leukemia ( AML), at least initially. This is because this treatment has been found to be effective in all types of acute leukemia (even some acute lymphoid leukemia, or ALL, patients have been treated with AML therapy with an excellent response). However, the fact that it is an undifferentiated leukemia may affect the decisions regarding further treatment after the initial treatment. Other factors such as your son's age, chromosome studies on the bone marrow, response to initial therapy, and side effects from initial therapy will help determine the appropriate next treatment. I think it is important to get an opinion at a University Medical Center at some point. It is often not feasible to do so prior to initiation of therapy, if patients are not able to safely delay the start treatment. However, once recovered from this chemotherapy, I would recommend that you do get an opinion from an academic center, if he is not being treated at one already.

For more information on registering for the Teen Night Out, Friday night program, please visit the Teen Night Out tab on this page.
In recent months, the BLOCK has experienced a significant increase in the volume of parents picking up/signing out their child(ren) late. (After the BLOCK is scheduled to close) To ensure the safety of our participants, staff always remain with participants until they are picked up by parents or other authorized adults. Late pickups can create a hardship on our staff who often have additional obligations, making it imperative that they are able to leave on time. Everyone will receive one "grace day"/"free pass" after the first late pick up and will not be charged. Any and all subsequent late pickups after that will be tracked and charged.
FEE SCALE: $1 per minute late, per child
Failure to pay late pick up balances by the dates indicated on the invoice(s) may result in the inability to register child(ren) for the BLOCK or other Canton Leisure Services programming in the future. We appreciate your time and attention to this important issue, as well as your cooperation with the policy moving forward.

WIMBLEDON, Britain -- Second-seeded Andy Murray came back from down two sets in the quarterfinals and kept alive his quest to become the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
With the crowd at Center Court roaring in support, Murray held off unseeded Fernando Verdasco of Spain, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5 on Wednesday.
"I came through an incredibly tough match. It could have gone the other way," he told a TV interviewer afterward.
Murray has reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the fifth consecutive year. Roger Federer holds the Open-era record of seven consecutive semifinal appearances, from 2003 to 2009.
Murray's semifinal match Friday against Jerzy Janowicz will be Murray's 13th Grand Slam semifinal appearance, tying him with Perry for the most Grand Slam semifinal appearances by a British man.
Murray, 26, has reached the final of the last three Grand Slams in which he has competed: Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2012, and the 2013 Australian Open. He missed the French Open this year because of a back injury.
Murray said a combination of factors led to him losing the first two sets on Wednesday.
"He played extremely well, I thought, in the first set. The second set I made some poor choices and he served fantastically well," Murray said. "He's a very good player."
But Murray was even better.
"He served unbelievably well. Especially when he was behind. He kept going for it," Murray said. "I just managed to turn it round."

Muskegon, Mi — Since terminating 20 memberships whose names showed up on the Michigan State Police Sex Offender Registry, the Muskegon Family YMCA in Muskegon, MI, has been contacted by more than a half dozen Ys in Michigan and other states interested in instituting a similar policy.
"With 7,000 members, I was surprised that we had 20 pop up on the registry," says Luke Seward, chief executive officer of the Y. "Our insurance company suggested we check our membership, and we felt like it was the prudent, responsible thing to do."
Local Y staff compared the names in the area ZIP codes on the state's sex offender registry to the membership list.
In September, the board of directors approved the policy, and letters were mailed to terminated members. Some of the 20 who had their memberships terminated were part of family memberships, but only the individual was banned from the facility. About half of those with family memberships kept them, Seward says.
"Something like this used to take us two weeks to check, but now it's instantaneous," Seward says. "We're screening all new members as they come in now and checking them against the registry. We have a commitment to run the entire list once a year to keep our records up to date."
However, the new policy isn't foolproof, he says. The registry is only for Michigan, and not every sex offender reports when they move from state to state. Also, in many large cities, checking members against a sex offender registry may be a much more daunting task than it is in Muskegon, MI, Seward says.
The effort is well worth it, though, especially for family-centered Ys, he says.
"We haven't had any incidents, and we'd like to keep it that way," Seward says. "If we're going to err, we'd like to do it on the side of caution. It's worth the price."

Panzanella Salad on RomaineYeah, yeah... I know. Panzanella salad isn't southern and it usually isn't served with lettuce either, but I like mine that way so that is how I eat it. I just mix up the panzanella - a salad that was probably originally born out of the need to use up stale bread and whatever else happened to be in abundance in the garden - and then I spoon it over crisp romaine lettuce. The early panzanella salads probably did not even utilize tomatoes, but these days, it is pretty much built around the two - bread and tomatoes - and then mixed with whatever fresh garden veggies are on hand.
Panzanella was not a salad I grew up with and the first time I tried it, I made the one that uses soaked bread that you then squeeze out and tear. Not a fan. But, toast the bread and it's a whole 'nother story! Take that up a level and infuse that bread with garlic olive oil, and it's a real winner.
You can really make this salad your own with a mixture of whatever vegetables you have on hand, or like, but some veggies you might include are red onion, red, yellow, orange or green bell peppers, cucumber, squash or zucchini. Fresh mozzarella is a great add-in, so throw some cubes in if you happen to have some on hand, tear in some fresh basil leaves if you like, add some chopped garlic, and maybe even some pitted kalamata olives. Some people even like to include capers and anchovies to add a level of saltiness.
Recipe: Panzanella Salad on Romaine©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 30 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 cup of red wine vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
- Reserved garlic (from croutons)
- 2 pounds of fresh garden tomatoes, cut into chunks
- 1/2 of a red onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, yellow, red or green, seeded and chopped
- 1 large English or other seedless cucumber, washed but unpeeled and chopped
- 4 ounces of fresh mozzarella, cubed
- 1/2 cup of pitted, kalamata olives, chopped
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained, optional
- Romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite sized pieces
- Homemade Garlic Croutons
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prepare the croutons. Set aside to cool.
Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Add the tomatoes and onion, toss and let sit for 30 minutes. Add the peppers and cucumber, toss and refrigerate until ready to serve.
About 15 minutes before serving, add in the croutons, mozzarella, olives, basil and capers, and toss in the accumulated juices.
If the entire salad is not going to be eaten at once, use only as many croutons as needed, reserving the remainder for the next serving. Store leftover croutons at room temperature, in a zipper storage bag or other airtight container.
Cook's Notes: Add in a protein, like baked ham or grilled chicken, fish or shrimp.
Tip: Too hot to heat up the oven for croutons? Toast your bread on the grill instead!
Variation: Use leftover homemade cornbread or make a fresh batch in a pan and allow it to go stale. Cut into squares, place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Toss with the seasoned oil and return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until croutons are toasted.

Soldiers to the Summit at Snowbird
Injured Veteran Winter Event
February 27-March 1, 2012
Injured veterans from America's military gathered at Snowbird, the premiere alpine ski resort in the high Wasatch Mountains southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah for World T.E.A.M. Sports' February 27-March 1, 2012 Soldiers to the Summit at Snowbird adaptive ski and winter sport event.

Soldiers to the Summit at Snowbird Brings Together Wounded Warriors – February 23, 2012
Deseret News Photo Gallery – February 28, 2012
Past Military Initiative Events from World T.E.A.M. Sports
In October 2010, World T.E.A.M. Sports directed the first Soldiers to the Summit event, an expedition to Nepal with wounded warriors that successfully climbed 20,075-foot Lobuche East near Mount Everest. This successful expedition has led to the Snowbird winter event, with future challenging events planned in the Soldiers to the Summit series.
For 25 years, World T.E.A.M. Sports has used athletics to challenge disabled and non-disabled men, women and children to accomplish goals they never thought possible. Our past events include the Soldiers to the Summit Nepal Expedition in 2010, an annual Face of America ride honoring wounded warriors in Washington DC, the annual Adventure TEAM Challenge in Colorado, the 2009 Coastal Team Challenge in the Pacific Northwest, and the Sea to Shining Sea, a cross country ride for wounded warriors in 2010.

When it comes to teasing friends and coworkers, there's nothing quite like having something newer, flashier, or faster. For the moment, in CD/DVD recording circles, that means picking Plextor's PX-712A, the first DVD recorder to take the 12X plunge.
The 712A offers cutting-edge 12X (Partial CAV) DVD+R writing speed while, at the same time, plays it safe by employing 8X (PCAV) for DVD-R and 4X (CLV) for DVD±RW. The 712A also boasts 48X (CAV) CD-R and 24X (PCAV) CD-RW performance along with near full-throttle reading of prerecorded DVDs at 16X (CAV), DVD±R/RWs at 12X (CAV), prerecorded CD-ROM and CD-Rs at 48X (CAV), and CD-RWs at 40X (CAV). With new downloadable firmware, the drive also reads DVD+R DL.
Official DVD+RW Alliance specifications don't cover 12X writing, so blank discs are not specifically designed or marketed as such. As a result, the 712A writes a limited number of Plextor-qualified 8X discs at 12X speed including those manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, Ricoh, Maxell, and MPO. During testing, Prodisc 8X DVD+R discs (supplied by Compact Disc Media Inc.) also wrote successfully at full 12X speed. The 712A writes to many brands of 4X DVD+R and DVD-R discs at 8X speed—a real boon given the scarcity and expense of big-brand 8X media.
The 712A's PCAV DVD+R recording begins at 6X speed, accelerating to 8X by 800MB and then to 12X by 2.6GB where it remains until the end of the disc. This takes the 712A a mere 6:16 (using Nero CD-DVD Speed 3.0) to record full 4.7GB Prodisc DVD+R media. Still respectable for DVD-R are Taiyo Yuden discs at 7:58 each, JVC DVD-RWs at 14:47, and 14:08 for Verbatim DVD+RWs. A speedy 2:51 to write full MBI CD-R discs is the icing on the cake.
Bundled with the Plextor 712A are Roxio's Easy CD & DVD Creator 6, PhotoSuite 5 SE, DVDMax Player, Drag-to-Disc, and a wimpy 30-day trial version of Dantz Retrospect. Of more interest to the discriminating buyer, however, is the latest version of Plextor's PlexTools Professional. In addition to handy features such as quick-and-dirty disc copying and creation, read speed control, and drive and disc information, PlexTools unlocks some of the 712A's more powerful features. These include the ability to create password-protected CDs, tweak fundamental writing parameters, and perform some low-level recorded and unrecorded disc quality assessments including C1/C2 (BLER, E22, E32), tracking and focus, and beta and jitter, as well as PI/PO checks. Presentation is cruder than it should be, however, and database capabilities are regrettably absent.
System requirements: 800MHz Pentium 3 (1.6GHz Pentium 4 recommended) running Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP; 128MB RAM (256MB recommended); 10GB free hard drive space; half-height internal ATAPI drive bay.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone.

Today I wanted to set up multiple Chrome profiles, so I could have one version of Chrome for me, and another to sync with my office Xoom. Sadly, I couldn't find any way to do so in the Chrome settings. Lifehacker had me covered, though, linking to an article from September 2008, around the time Chrome first came out. The only problem: the article was written before Windows 7 came out, so some of the instructions were slightly off.
If you want to use profiles on Windows 7, follow the instructions in that article until the end (except I cleared my data after making the duplicate, so I didn't lose all of the info in my default), but then, at the end, simply pin the new copy of Chrome to your taskbar, right click it, and then right click "Google Chrome (2)" (or whatever it might say in your instance), and choose "Properties." In the "Target," add the "--user-data-dir=" line as instructed in the article. All set! Now you can run two completely separate instances of Chrome, with different login sessions, etc.

Joe Delucci's Limited
Gelato Manor
Chesterton Estate
Banbury Road
Joe Delucci's was created to serve the 'finest and most genuinely authentic' eating experience possible... which soon led (by popular demand!) to their quality 'Gelati' being available to the whole of the U.K.
The beginning...
Focusing on their desire to serve quality ingredients and give customers a memorable dining experience, the popularity of the incredible Italian ice cream on the menu soon caught the attention of dozens of local restaurants, hotels and gastro pubs (in fact anywhere there was a passion for food) and the demand soared!
Numerous trade requests to stock this remarkable Italian ice cream followed, and so the hundreds of happy customers turned into, well... thousands! (Sorry!). At the artisanal manufacturing facility in Turin, Italy, the passionate and dedicated team who make the authentic gelati exclusively for Joe Delucci's were working overtime to keep up with the orders! ...and as they say, the rest is history! Mama Mia!!
Branded retail stores followed in the most popular shopping malls across the country and Joe Delucci's were now firmly on the map and in the hearts of ice cream eaters nationwide. We continue to open new stores all the time and have recently arrived on the shelves in selected Tesco stores across the U.K.
The End (well, not quite)
We have now served well over 15 million scoops to the U.K.
We are proud to supply significant household-named restaurants, cafes...and bistros...and gastro pubs, along with independents and many well known establishments, along with small and large restaurant and hotel groups nationwide through our distributors.
Hopefully, your favourite local eating establishment has seen the light and stocks Joe Delucci's. If not, let us know ('Trade' enquiries also welcome)!
We continue to build on the foundation of our branded Joe Delucci's 'parlours' in shopping malls, opening new sites in major towns each year.
Joe Delucci's parlours can often be recognised by our trademark 'scooter' style seating! We usually offer a choice of 24 incredible flavours from our range of 39 (and we are always making more).
Our trained 'gelatistas' will be happy to talk you through our dairy free, gluten free and fat free flavours, or tempt you with our classic or indulgent flavours. Ask for a free little taste and they'll be happy to oblige.
Mmmm, free ice cream, what can be better than that?
Please check the 'Our Parlours' page for the closest to you.
We are proud to have recently been stocked by Tesco in over two hundred stores nationwide (yippee!). So even more of you can now get your Joe Delucci's fix straight into your shopping bag to eat at home (if the tub makes it that far!).
We are delighted to be working with Tesco to get Joe Delucci's to you and would love to hear any comments you have that may help us improve this experience.
Finally, thank you! It's your love of Joe Delucci's that has helped us grow and, well...keep growing!
So keep spreading the "Gospel of Gelato" and help those non-believers see the light!
Love from all at Joe Delucci's
Awards are a funny thing...think of all the greats that have ever been nominated for an Oscar and didn't win! Loads.
Don't worry though, we've actually won a few (wahay!) at some of the UK's most prestigious events (we know!!!).
We were like, "Er, special mentions go to Italy for being so stylish, cool, chic and tasty"..."Tonight wouldn't have been possible without the love and support of..." blah blah blah "We love you, goodnight!!!"
After being ushered from the stage, we have since focused all of our attention on getting Joe Delucci's to you by opening new branded parlours, supplying more restaurants, and getting it into supermarkets so you can easily take some home.
So if you see that we start to add awards trophies to our cabinet then you'll know that someone at Joe Delucci's HQ has found themselves with too much time on their hands and entered us into more!
Come and visit one of our parlours if you'd like the full-blown Joe Delucci's experience!
As well as scoops of our deluccious gelato, we serve incredible Sundaes and Thick Shakes made using our remarkable Italian ice cream along with many fruit Smoothies made using our fat free fruit gelato!
If you fancy a bottled drink, we serve mineral water sourced from Cherry Mountain in Tepelene renowned for its fabulous PH levels, and peach or lemon flavoured Italian Iced Teas, which are gorgeous.
In conjunction with Slush Puppie UK, we serve two natural fruit slush flavours and at selected parlours we have Joe Delucci's 'Extra Chocolate Hot Chocolate'.
With a selection of candy cones and a choice of cup sizes to accommodate between 1 to 3 scoops of gelato (crazy ice cream fans have squeezed in 4!) we are sure that you will find many things to satisfy your desires!
Our team of dedicated staff at each and every one of our Joe Delucci's branded stores, will happily talk you through all of the incredible flavours that we have on offer... with a smile!
Why are they so happy? Well they get to work with ice cream of course! So, whether it's giving you nutritional advice, recommending what goes with what or talking you through our dairy-free, fat-free and gluten-free options, our 'gelatistas' will make your experience a fantastic one.
Ask for a free taste… (we have had to introduce a time limit to this!)
1) Healthier than most ice creams, with a creamy taste you won't believe
Actually lots of our flavours are fat free, ssshhh - don't tell everyone! Despite 'seldom' using cream and in some flavours only using a little milk, our gelato has a creamy texture on the palate. This is mainly because we make it in batches using less than the average 'overrun' (the professional term for adding air). The result - a very dense texture (our tubs are 'like' heavier than most... man!).
2) High in whole fresh fruit
Packed with whole fresh real fruit from carefully selected farms. Obviously here we mean the fruit gelatos, we don't put raspberries in the dark chocolate... (hang on a second!). We are extremely proud of the reaction we get from Joe Delucci's fans when they tuck into our fruit flavour gelato, it is just so incredibly full of fruit and tastes way better than you could ever imagine. You'll see (you probably know already don't you?)!
3) Contains less air
Why pay for fresh air? We just cram more creamy deliciousness into every tub (we've mentioned the air thing already so let's not go over it again, the only thing worth having again is another scoop!).
4) Intense and long lasting flavour
With huge amounts of fresh and natural ingredients, gelato can be served slightly warmer so it won't freeze your little taste buds and it makes the flavour even more intense (say 'intense' ten times quickly).
5) As nature intended
Our gelato contains no artificial preservatives, colourings or genetically modified ingredients. You don't need to add all that gunk, gelato wasn't invented that way and it shouldn't have to be that way, so we don't make it that way ok... No way?
(Yes way... stop saying way... ok) (and stop using brackets) (ok) ().
6) Loads of yummy flavours
There are over 30 flavours in our range and we're always making more. If you have any suggestions... tweet or facebook us! We are so 'like' social!
7) It will make you happy... and better looking*
8) Free ice cream
Dairy-free, gluten-free and fat-free available. To find out which is which, check the 'Our Flavours' page or visit one of our parlours and ask a 'gelatista'!
Oh and er... *Better looking may not apply

I set up a window with the Bible text, the commentary, and my user notes. I do a word search from the Bible text which creates a new tab. I detach the tab and tile it with my main window. Next, I open another Bible text and detach it. I change the font to about 30 points, move it to the projector (mirroring is off), and resize to fit the screen. I tie together the main window and the projector window by using windows - set - tie.
Next, I hit tab twice and enter 1Tim 4 in the "go to" box. I now have the text of 1 Timothy 4:1 in the windows on the computer screen and projector screen and they are in sync. Now, from my computer I can do a search, read my notes or the commentary and nothing changes on the projector screen until I change verses in the search screen. BTW, I use CMD - down arrow to move the next verse. This is smoother than scrolling by line. CMD - up arrow will jump to the beginning of the previous verse.
Without a doubt, Accordance 8.1 is meeting the challenge of effective Bible study and how to teach it to others.

To Combat Scarcity, Increase Water-Use Efficiency in Agriculture

According to some estimates, up to 250 million Africans will struggle with water scarcity in 2030. (Rainharvest.co.za)
A version of this article originally appeared at The Broker.
The South Centre has argued that "as oil conflicts were central to 20th century history, the struggle over freshwater is set to shape a new turning point in the world order." Water scarcity, which already affects one in three people on Earth, is set to increase in magnitude and scope as the global population grows, increasing affluence drives up demand, and the climate changes. According to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), "half the world's population will be living in areas of high water stress by 2030, including 75 to 250 million people in Africa." In the Sahel region of Africa, desertification caused by overgrazing, unsustainable farming, and the collection of wood for fuel is already responsible for systemic crop failure, soil erosion, and devastating famine. Failure to act on water scarcity will lead to more of the same.
Though water scarcity will surely play a defining role in the 21st century, the assumption that "water wars" are inevitable is overly deterministic and assumes the worst of people. Historically, the need to manage trans-group or trans-boundary water basins has actually tended to facilitate cooperation between groups with competing interests. In the last fifty years, there have been only 37 incidents of acute conflict over water, while during the same period, approximately 295 international water agreements were negotiated and signed. According to Nidal Salim, director of the Global Institute for Water, Environment, and Health, the potential to peacefully overcome water scarcity does exist; it depends on political will, trust between nations, and real manifestations of cooperation.
To do so, leaders at all levels must prioritize efforts to cooperatively increase water-use efficiency, reduce water waste, and manage demand.
Increasing efficiency in irrigation—which is responsible for the consumption of 70 percent of the world's total water withdrawal—would be a sensible place to start. Improved water management in agriculture could increase global water availability, catalyze development, reduce soil erosion, and lead to increased and diversified agricultural yields, augmenting our ability to feed a population projected to reach 9 billion by 2050.
Currently, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an astonishing 60 percent of the water diverted or pumped for irrigation is wasted—via runoff into waterways or evapotranspiration. This does not have to be the case. Farmers can achieve water-use efficiency gains in a number of ways: by growing a diverse array of crops suited to local conditions, especially in drought-prone regions; by practicing agroforestry or growing perennial crops, to build strong root systems and reduce soil erosion; by maintaining healthy soils, either by applying organic fertilizer or growing cover crops to retain soil moisture; and by adopting irrigation systems like "drip" lines that deliver water directly to plants' roots.
In arid regions of the Middle East, improved water management in agriculture has notably augmented both water and food security. An experimental drip irrigation project run by the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme in the Syrian village of Fraytan has, for example, reduced the annual demand for water by 30 percent and increased agricultural yields by nearly 60 percent.
Another, though less intuitive, way to reduce inefficient water use in agriculture is to reduce consumer food waste, for wasting food means wasting the resources (i.e. water, land, and energy) that were used to produce it. Worldwide, 30 to 40 percent of all food produced is either lost or wasted between the stages of production and consumption.
Not only is smart water management necessary to combat scarcity, it is necessary to help our global food system adapt to a potentially harsh and uncertain future. Leaders of all persuasions should cooperate to make agriculture water-use efficiency an international priority.

Drudge Promotes Birther Conspiracy Theory About Obama's Social Security Number
The Drudge Report has reignited the bogus claim that President Obama's Social Security number is illegitimate.
On Wednesday, WND columnist and noted conspiracy theorist Jack Cashill reported on a court filing challenging the legitimacy of Obama's Social Security number. Today, Drudge linked to Cashill's column with the headline "Obama's Social Security Number challenged..." :
Cashill's column seized on the point that the first three digits of Obama's Social Security number are exclusive to individuals who register in Connecticut. But the Social Security Administration explained that "the Area Number [the first three digits of an SSN] does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant" :
Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant's mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.
As the urban legends website Snopes noted, the ZIP code for the Honolulu area, 96814, is very similar to the ZIP code of Danbury, Connecticut, 06814:
Why Barack Obama's Social Security card application might have included a Connecticut mailing address is something of a curiosity, as he had no known connection to that state at the time, but by itself that quirk is no indicator of fraud. The most likely explanation for the discrepancy is a simple clerical or typographical error: the ZIP code in the area of Honolulu where Barack Obama lived is 96814, while the ZIP code for Danbury, Connecticut, is 06814. Since '0' and '9' are similarly shaped numbers and are adjacent on typewriter keyboards, it's not uncommon for handwritten examples to be mistaken for each other, or for one to be mistyped as the other (thereby potentially resulting in a Hawaiian resident's application mistakenly being routed as if it had originated from Connecticut).
The Drudge Report has joined Rush Limbaugh in hyping this inflammatory lie about Obama. During the May 7 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh asked in response to a caller who cast doubt on Obama's birth certificate: "What are your thoughts on the fact that Obama's Social Security number is from Connecticut, and he's never been there?"
Drudge has repeatedly highlighted and encouraged stories questioning Obama's U.S. citizenship.

North American Juniors Game Night: 3-23-12
Omaha Lancers 1 @ Tri-City Storm 5
G Adam Wilcox, TC: Win, 28 saves on 29 shots, *First Star*
Season Totals (with Tri-City): 29 GP, 15-14-1, 2.89 GAA, .916 sv%, 1 SO
Season Totals (with Green Bay): 9 GP, 7-2-0, 2.27 GAA, .918 sv%, 2 SO
Wilcox (pictured), the reigning USHL Goaltender of the Week, got another start for the Storm and got another first star award. Unofficially that's about seven first stars in the last month. He's given up only three goals in his last three games while stopping 100 shots. That's pretty good. On Friday Wilcox stopped 28 of 29 against conference-leading Omaha. Tri-City stayed in fifth in the West with the two points, but put four points between them and seventh place Des Moines for the final playoff spot. The top-6 teams make the postseason in each conference.
16-Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 4 @ 1-Saint John Sea Dogs 13

Playoff Totals: 1 GP, 2-2-4, +2, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 67 GP, 47-39-86, +46, 67 PIM
Saint John opened defense of their Memorial Cup title with a 13-4 thrashing of Cape Breton. The Sea Dogs outshot the Screaming Eagles 50-19 in the game. Cape Breton actually held a 2-1 lead midway through the first period before Saint John turned up the heat. Gauthier had four points in the game, which tied his playoff high set last year in 18 games. Impressive. Sharks first rounder (traded to Wild) and former Boston University star Charlie Coyle had a hat trick and three assists for the Sea Dogs. Also impressive. Game 2 is Saturday night.
14-Gatineau Olympiques 1 @ 3-Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 5
QMJHL First Round – Blainville-Boisbriand leads best of seven series 2-0
D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-0-0, -2, 4 PIM (roughing after the whistle, roughing), 0 SOG, 0 Hits

Season Totals: 51 GP, 6-26-32, -13, 55 PIM
The Armada took a commanding 2-0 series lead on Gatineau with a 5-1 win on Friday. They beat the Olympiques 7-2 in the series opener on Thursday. Janosik was scoreless and minus-4 in that game for the 14th seed.

Playoff Totals: 1 GP, 1-1-2, +1, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 63 GP, 22-49-71, +15, 50 PIM
Namestnikov scored what turned out to be the game winning goal in the first period off a great individual effort. He added a third period power play assist to help Michael Houser (undrafted) and the East's top seed shut out Windsor in Game 1 of their opening round series, 3-0. Game 2 is Saturday. Namestnikov had five points in six playoff games last season.
E1-Niagara IceDogs 6 @ E8-Oshawa Generals 1
OHL First Round – Niagara leads best of seven series 2-0

Install Trillian Off The Record Messaging On Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
I have been slowly getting everything installed on my new laptop I recently purchased that has Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on it. One of the applications I figured would work without issue was the Trillian OTR(Off-The-Record Messaging) plugin which allows encrypted communication over ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Jabber, Rendezvous, and Sametime instant messaging clients. Trillian actually has a built in encryption system called SecureIM however Trillian OTR goes way beyond the security provided the built in encryption provided by SecureIM.

Urban health
Urbanization is one of the leading global trends of the 21st century that has a significant impact on health. By 2050, over 68% of the world's population will live in cities. The factors influencing urban health include urban governance; population characteristics; the natural and built environment; social and economic development; services and health emergency management; and food security.
While cities can bring opportunities, they can also bring challenges for better health. Today's cities and those of tomorrow are facing a triple threat: infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, TB, pneumonia, diarrhoeal diseases; noncommunicable diseases like asthma, heart disease, cancer and diabetes; and violence and injuries, including road traffic injuries.
