The North Face® partners with GORE-TEX® to deliver the industry's most innovative and highest performance waterproof, windproof and breathable weather protection.
GORE-TEX® fabrics lead the industry in providing durable waterproof, breathable protection. The GORE-TEX® membrane is completely impervious to rain, sleet and snow, while allowing perspiration to pass through it from within. Tiny pores in the GORE-TEX® membrane allow perspiration to escape while preventing water from entering.
The North Face incorporates 3 specialized fabric technologies in our products:
GORE-TEX® Performance Shell
Waterproof GORE-TEX® Pro Shells
Waterproof GORE-TEX® Paclite® Shell
This fabric is designed to provide superior comfort and durable waterproof protection in a wide range of outdoor activities. The GORE-TEX® revolutionary patented membrane technology is specifically engineered to form an impenetrable barrier against wind and water while maintaining breathability. GORE-TEX® Performance Shell fabric is used in a two-layer construction for a lighter and softer feel and in three-layer construction for a heavier-duty alternative.
GORE-TEX® Pro Shell is engineered with the most rugged, highly breathable fabrics, making it ideal for extended exposure to extreme conditions. These fabrics are designed to perform at an elite level in order to meet the demands of outdoor professionals and serious enthusiasts alike. The advanced waterproof membrane used by GORE-TEX® Pro Shell fabric incorporates increased breathability characteristics, allowing the user to enjoy longer exposure to harsh conditions without losing vital body heat.
Introduced in 2009, this exclusive Paclite® membrane is laminated to lightweight, strong nylon textiles to produce garments that are extremely breathable, compressible and durably waterproof. This membrane contains a protective black layer that is made of an "oil-hating" (oleophobic) polymer and carbon that allows perspiration vapor to pass through, but prohibits body oils, cosmetics, salt water and insect repellents from altering the waterproof qualities of the membrane. Extremely compressible, this fabric packs extremely small.

Amanda Seyfried's Lovelace lands distribution deal at Sundance
Lovelace, which features the Mamma Mia! beauty as the adult actress-turned-anti-porn advocate, premiered at the Utah independent movie event on Tuesday (22Jan13) and was warmly received by critics.
A reviewer for the Hollywood Reporter described it as "surprisingly good on several fronts", while a Screen International writer applauded directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman for making the film "both breezy and weighty at the same time".
Lovelace, which chronicles the complex relationship between the Deep Throat star and her manager/husband Chuck Traynor – portrayed by Peter Sarsgaard, was promptly snapped up by The Weinstein Company's RADiUS-TWC division and will now be released in America this autumn (13).
Other popular picks at Sundance include Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut Don Jon's Addiction and Daniel Radcliffe's new film Kill Your Darlings, in which he portrays beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
Lovelace is the first of two new biopics about the former porn icon – actress Malin Akerman is also portraying her in rival project Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, although that film has stalled due to financing issues.

Google Chrome has come a long way from being the newbie in the browser market to being a major and decisive player today, with a say on how all things Google are served to the people. I still remember the first time Google talked of Chrome and announced a web browser saying,
All of us at Google spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends — all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build.
You can still read the legendary announcement here and read the Google Chrome comic here for a walk down memory lane.
Three years have passed since then and Google has brought awesome web-services and things are looking good on the user-level as well (clean and effective). The browser (not just Google Chrome but web browsers in general) is getting stronger day by day and Google Chrome is the first choice for those obsessed with speed.
The next step by Google is to provide a rich social experience inside the browser. I am not talking about Twitter or Facebook here. Think of contemporary communication mediums, ones that are still enjoyed by people. Spot on. Google is planning to bring audio and video chat into the browser as an inherent feature. This will eliminate the need for a third party web-app and a third party desktop application alike.
How is Google Chrome Planning on Being a Skype Killer?
Once live, the technology can be used with anything Google provides or with any third party service that someone creates leveraging these technologies. The possibilities are endless here. This will most likely be Google's next big announcement about Chrome.
Some further technical details are available here . Also, check this chromium mailing list for clarification.

It was an exuberant display, and you can hear the announcer really trying (and absolutely failing) to cement the moment for us: "Happy, happy, happy day!" Unfortunately, officials are reporting that 13 revelers were injured as students stormed the field and tore down the goal posts. According to Michael Authement, who heads the command post at emergency medical provider LifeNet EMS, some were trampled as they made their way to the field, others fell more than fifteen feet onto concrete.
AP photographs showed fans climbing atop the yellow goalposts and tearing them apart amid a crush of people on the field. Scores of hands stretched out to pull down the goalposts during the celebration.
Authement said nine ambulances, including six from LifeNet, rushed 11 of the injured away and the two in critical condition were flown to Oklahoma City hospitals. He said he knew of leg fractures but didn't have any details on the extent of the injuries, though two of the 13 had minor injuries and were treated at the scene and released.
Lesser injuries included broken ankles, ankle sprains and back sprains, said Shyla Eggers, public relations director for Stillwater Medical Center, adding eight injured came to her hospital. She told AP that her hospital received six of the injured in ambulances, two in private vehicles and at least two of the patients have been admitted and would undergo surgery on broken ankles.
"Our staff that was on hand took care of it. They were just very busy," Eggers said. "Game day is always busy."
Game day is very busy, as I'm sure any athletic department can attest. Like, just as a for instance, Oklahoma State's athletic department, which was busy uploading this video.

Thomas Bayes
1702 - 1761
Thomas Bayes was an English clergyman who set out his theory of probability in 1764. His conclusions were accepted by Laplace in 1781, rediscovered by Condorcet, and remained unchallenged until Boole questioned them. Since then Bayes' techniques have been subject to controversy.

The Steep Canyon Rangers love what they do and would have happily carried on in the underappreciated world of a touring bluegrass band. But lately they've been thrust into a spotlight they could never have imagined.
Their new album, Nobody Knows You, arrives at the peak of their unlikely rise.
After teaming with comedian and banjo enthusiast Steve Martin in 2009, the Rangers began playing for massive crowds, placed their collaborative Rare Bird Alert album at No. 1 on Billboard's bluegrass chart and shared the IBMA award for entertainer of the year, the bluegrass industry's highest accolade.
Martin's presence certainly raised their profile, but it was no charity on his part. The band from Asheville, N.C., had the chops and teamwork necessary to help him achieve his bluegrass goals.
Recently, their work with Martin slowed down just enough to record a Rangers-only album. The result is the stunning Nobody Knows You. Modern bluegrass at its finest, it features a healthy dose of heartache, disaster and longing, all backed by playful melodies and crystal-clear picking. The first music video from the project, "Long Shot," captures their energetic spirit.
With Woody Platt providing lead vocals and guitar and all members contributing to the vocals, the band also features mandolinist Mike Guggino, bassist Charles Humphrey III, fiddler Nicky Sanders and banjo player Graham Sharp.
Sharp, who also plays guitar and serves as the band's primary songwriter, called CMT.com to talk about Nobody Knows You. He also reflected on the group's amazing success, meeting Martin for the first time and what it feels like to perform in front of 400,000 people.
CMT: This year has been really exciting for the band. How's everybody holding up?
Graham: It's been busy, but it's been a lot of high points in the last year. All the stuff we've been doing with Steve is just kind of unbelievable. Fourth of July on the Capitol lawn and those late night television shows, it's been a lot of high points. And then to get back to our own thing and make a record we feel really good about. To bring it back to the five of us as a band felt really good for everybody. It's been pretty phenomenal, and we're lucky to be able to do more than one thing.
How many people were there at the Fourth of July performance at the U.S. Capitol?
Like 400,000 people, they said, and several million watching it live on TV. It was a heart-stopping moment. For the first eight seconds of the song, we couldn't hear anything because everybody was clapping and yelling so loud. So you're just trusting that you're together. You really can't hear anything. It was really one of the greatest moments. We've managed to get to a lot of big stages like that because of Steve. … Jazz Fest in New Orleans last year was unbelievable.
How did you come to team up with Steve?
We met Steve through his wife, whom we had known for a while before they were married — through Woody's family, actually. She and Steve were married right around the time Steve's banjo career was starting to take shape. It was kind of a process of just sitting in with him a couple of times doing some informal things, and that turned into a couple shows here and there. Then a couple more shows turned into a tour, which turned into more tours and then an album. So here we are.
Are you going to continue working together?
Yeah, we're putting together a new show for this summer. We've got about 50 dates for this summer. He's got a whole bunch of new songs he's been working on, and we've got new songs in the works. So there are no plans of slowing down on either end.
How long have the Steep Canyon Rangers been playing together?
Twelve years? Thirteen years? When we started the band, we started it from scratch. We were all just beginners on our instruments, so it's been a long learning process for us. There were three of us that were together in school in Chapel Hill, N.C. — Woody, Charles and myself — and we were drawn to that music for different reasons but all at the same time. For a couple of years, we all lived together in a house, and we've always lived in the same area. We put in a lot of hours on it.
You have a really beautiful record in Nobody Knows You. Were you able to push boundaries more since you've had so much success this past year?
I think so. I think the music doesn't step out of bluegrass, but it kind of stretches bluegrass in a way that is more in keeping with the audiences we've had playing with Steve. It's a wider audience that's not necessarily a strictly traditional bluegrass audience. We've been lucky to be a lot of people's first exposure to bluegrass.
One of my favorite tracks is the instrumental "Knobb Creek." It's got some fire to it.
"Knobb Creek" is a tune I love just because we've been doing it live for a while now and played it on some of these great shows. That song is really seasoned onstage. The way we recorded it is the way we play it live, so it is a really fun song because it has that stage energy built into it.
I think "Ungrateful One" has a chilling message. Can you tell me about that song?
People have commented that a lot of bluegrass has an affirmative family values thing to it. "Ungrateful One" is kind of the opposite of that. It came from a book called Look Homeward Angel by Thomas Wolfe, which was written in Asheville. It's a wonderful book about a father and his son and their relationship. How from a really early age the son is totally turned off about his father and the way his father acts. That's what it's really drawing on. It's fun to do, but it's sort of an uncomfortable subject matter, but definitely a powerful one.
In the liner notes it says you wanted to avoid "déjà-bluegrass." What does that mean?
That was [music journalist and historian] Larry Nager's quote, not ours, but I think he means making a record in a certain way, and we had done a few records like that. We still have barnburners, gospel songs, a couple of standard instrumentals and a cover or two of some classic material. We just tried not to fit in a certain mold or anything.
Is it hard to be original and fresh in bluegrass?
Not really, for us, just because that's how we write. We never really sat down and said we need a song that's like this or a song that's like this. Once the song gets to the band, it gets interpreted in its own unique way, but I don't think it's ever a conscious decision that it needs to be bluegrass in this way and not bluegrass in that way. Playing on big stages with Steve has given us a lot of confidence to follow our own sort of muse. It's a good feeling.

In my "Standards Heresy" talk I noted pretty bluntly that CSS 3 is a joke. A sad, sick joke being perpetrated by people who clearly don't build actual web apps. If the preponderance of the working group did, we'd already have useful things like behavioral CSS being turned into recommendations and not turds like CSS namespaces and CSS Print Profile. And I'm not even sure if the "Advanced" Layouts cluster-fsck should be mentioned for the fear that more people might actually look at it. You'd expect an "advanced layouts" module to give us hbox and vbox behaviors or a grid layout model or stretching…but no, the "answer" apparently is ascii art. No, I'm not making this up. It's sad commentary that you can propose this kind of dreck at the W3C and get taken seriously.
Beyond what's obviously wrong with the avenues being (inexplicably) pursued, there's a lot to read into what's not being worked on. Namely the serious and myriad problems with the basics of how CSS rules are written and applied.
Lets start from the bottom: CSS 2 should have included inheritance and variable replacement. It didn't. None of the proposed bits of CSS 3 have their wits about them enough to propose a fix of any kind.
In particular, there's no way for a new, uniquely "named" rule to "mix in" previous rules and tweak them with over-rides to fit a particular scenario. It's also not possible to build a "composite class" out of 2 existing classes. You can either split behaviors into a zillion little classes and then try to ensure that they all get applied to the right elements at the right time, or use fewer (more "semantic") classes which are selector oriented and use selective re-definition to attempt to specialize appropriately. This basic inability to factor out common rules which others may then mix in is, in a word, insane.
There's absolutely no reason why, in 2007, we shouldn't be able to write CSS like this:
.highlight { color: red; text-decoration: underline; } .updated { @importRule '.highlight'; background-color: yellow; } .updatedByOthers { @importRule '.updated'; color: #3f5070; /* a nice dark blue */ }
As for variable replacement, the above example starts to outline why we need it. Writing themes for any non-trivial system via CSS today is a PITA. Here's how it should look:
@define hlColor red; @define hlBgColor yellow; @define oUpdateColor #3f5070; .highlight { color: {hlColor}; text-decoration: underline; } .updated { @importRule '.highlight'; background-color: {hlBgColor}; } .updatedByOthers { @importRule '.updated'; color: {oUpdateColor}; /* a nice dark blue */ }
Now, updating this for a new "theme" is as simple as moving the color definitions to an external file and changing the location of an @import URL. All our styles remain in-tact and beyond the initial replacements (and event-driven CSS-OM replacements), the performance impact is slight. That the browser vendors have variously taken it upon themselves to expose parameterized values for things like system colors should have told them something important, but alas no.
The recent growth of CSS frameworks is starting to highlight some of the massive failures of CSS and its implementations, but it's not clear how the web development community is going to shake itself awake and start asking for more than proper ":hover" support from IE. And given the pitiful state of CSS 3, it's not clear that we should even ask the W3C for improvements anyway.
This, I think, is an open and important problem: now that the failure of the W3C is all but complete, what organization (WHAT-WG? something new?) could take on the challenge of, um, challenging the browser vendors to build the stuff we need to keep the Open Web viable? And since we can't reasonably expect IE to support things in a timely fashion, do we owe it to ourselves to start building apps for browsers that will give us what we want?
Update: I'm late to this party (as usual). Andy Budd's thoughts on a "CSS 2.2" are worth a read as is Hixie's dissection of the CSS WG's uselessness. David Baron also responds with constructive suggestions.

ecerda necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 98 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
We will focus on the designation that our professional students will recieve - CMME (Certified Mortgage Modification Expert)
The foreclosure crisis in the US is not getting any better. Over the next 3 years, we will see a rise in foreclosures and a continued drop in home values. We have been in the modification industry for 2 years helping people with ZERO upfront fees until we get them results - http://www.NHBailout.com. Now, we realize that we cannot do this alone. We are launching a brand new company the American Modification Institute (AMI) which will specialize in offering this unique and valuable professional designation - CMME. We want to training licensed professional real estate agents, loan officers, CPA's and bankruptcy attorneys to get trained, certified and earn this valuable designation, so they may go out and help people stay in their homes while creating a new source of revenue for themselves at the same time. Because the banks are not doing anything to reach out and help struggling home owners. Non-profits get paid from the government whether they help anyone or not. Help us battle this national crisis.
Professional licensed real estate agents, loan officers, mortgage professionals, CPA's (certified public accountants) and bankruptcy attorneys. We will also allow consumers to come and check our database and LOOKUP if this individual offering his/her service is legitimate and certified.
We are looking for something very sharp and crisp. It must say professional and legitimate, maybe collegiate, honor, trustworthy, clear, and simple. Use your creativity and if you are inspired by a symbol or character or mark - cartoon or not - it is OK. Let the creative juices RIDE!!!!. In some cases we will want to use the AMI logo or in other cases the CMME logo would be preferable. The site address will be http://www.CMMEOnline.com. So, to be clear the institute is AMI (company) which offers the designation of the CMME (product). We need a seal, so the professionals that are certified through us may be able to use this SEAL on their websites to show they are certified. The Lapel Pin design is important because it should work well with the whole concept as these certified professionals will wear the pin on their lapels with pride. And finally, take a shot at the business cards. The whole things should be easy to read with clear bright colors and letters, sophisticated and a touch of modern chic. Best of luck and your work will be everywhere by the end of the year - we expect to have at least 5,000 certified professional by then.

Rolling with J-Roll
J-Roll makes the Phillies roll.
The Phillies offense features a pack of talented players who pack plenty of power. But, it is J-Roll that gets it going. He had a key hit last night that triggered a 3-run fifth inning. He scored a run for the eighth straight game. Not surprising, the Phillies are 6-2 in those games.
For the season, the Phillies are 16-4 when he scores a run. That's a .800 percentage. Keep up that pace and we'll see you in October.
J-Roll needs four more hits to reach 1,500 and one more stolen base to reach 300.
Cole certainly appears to be back on track, as does J-Roll. Now, we need to get the rest of the starting rotation back on track.
Phillies 23, Cubs 22
This crazy game took place 30 years ago Sunday in Wrigley Field. Rich Hofmann of he Daily News wrote a column about the historic game today.
The game featured 50 hits (10 doubles, 2 triples, 11 homers), 11 different pitchers, 22 LOB, 4 errors. Surprisingly it only lasted 4 hours, 3 minutes and the Wrigley crowd was just 14,952.

More than 6 billion people live in countries with a serious corruption problem
This nine-year-old girl is one of them.
She lives in Dhaka, Bangladesh – one of 114 countries that scores below 50 out of 100 in our 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index, indicating serious levels of public sector corruption.
Instead of going to school, she spends her days sorting bottles at a recycling factory. Officially child labour is illegal in Bangladesh. Unofficially a bribe paid to the right official can mean exceptions are made.
Like all exploitation, child labour remains a sad reality in environments where citizens are trapped in poverty and corrupt officials can be paid off.
It's just one example of the devastation fuelled by corruption. Others include human trafficking, child mortality, poor education standards, environmental destruction and terrorism.
Put simply – public sector corruption is about so much more than missing money. It's about people's lives, and it's a global problem.
Based on expert opinion, the Corruption Perceptions Index measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption worldwide.
The scale of the issue is huge. Sixty-eight per cent of countries worldwide have a serious corruption problem. Half of the G20 are among them.
Not one single country, anywhere in the world, is corruption-free.
The 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index clearly shows that corruption remains a blight around the world. But 2015 was also a year when people again took to the streets to protest corruption. People across the globe sent a strong signal to those in power: it is time to tackle grand corruption. José Ugaz,
Chair, Transparency International
2015 showed that people working together can succeed in fighting corruption. Although corruption is still rife globally, more countries improved their scores in 2015 than declined.
Some countries have improved in recent years – Greece, Senegal and the UK are among those that have seen a significant increase in scores since 2012.
Others, including Australia, Brazil, Libya, Spain and Turkey, have deteriorated.
Dealing with many entrenched corruption issues, Brazil has been rocked by the Petrobras scandal, in which politicians are reported to have taken kickbacks in exchange for awarding public contracts. As the economy crunches, tens of thousands of ordinary Brazilians have lost their jobs already. They didn't make the decisions that led to the scandal. But they're the ones living with the consequences.
Six of the 10 most corrupt countries also rank among the 10 least peaceful places in the world.
In Afghanistan, millions of dollars that should have gone on reconstruction have been reportedly wasted or stolen, seriously undermining efforts to sustain peace.
Even where there's not open conflict, the levels of inequality and poverty in these countries are devastating.
In Angola, 70 per cent of the population live on US$2 a day or less. One in six children die before the age of five – making it the deadliest place in the world to be a child. More than 150,000 children die each year.
Northern Europe emerges well in the index – it's home to four of the top five countries.
But just because a country has a clean public sector at home, doesn't mean it isn't linked to corruption elsewhere.
Take Sweden for instance. It comes fourth in the index, yet the Swedish-Finnish firm TeliaSonera – 37 per cent owned by the Swedish state – is facing allegations that it paid millions of dollars in bribes to secure business in Uzbekistan, which comes in at 153rd in the index.
The company is now pulling out of business in Central Asia, but Sweden isn't the only "clean" country to be linked to dodgy behaviour overseas. As our research shows, half of all OECD countries are violating their international obligations to crack down on bribery by their companies abroad.
A country or territory's score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). A country's rank indicates its position relative to the other countries in the index. This year's index includes 168 countries and territories. Click on the column headings to sort the results, or use the search to view the results for one country. Note that N/A means a country was not included in the index during a particular year.

Corruption can be beaten if we work together. To stamp out the abuse of power, bribery and shed light on secret deals, citizens must together tell their governments they have had enough. José Ugaz,
Chair, Transparency International
By looking at the regions, certain trends emerge:
"We've witnessed two remarkable trends in the Americas in 2015: the uncovering of grand corruption networks and the mass mobilisation of citizens against corruption," says Alejandro Salas, Transparency International Director for the Americas. "The Petrobras and La Línea scandals are testament to these trends in the two biggest regional decliners: Brazil and Guatemala. The challenge now is to tackle the underlying causes and reduce impunity for corruption."
"Between Australia's slipping scores and North Korea's predictably disastrous performance, this year's index shows no significant improvement," notes Srirak Plipat, Director for Asia Pacific. "Has Asia Pacific stalled in its efforts to fight corruption? This year's poor results demand that leaders revisit the genuineness of their efforts and propel the region forward with actionable measures."
"While a handful of countries in Europe and Central Asia have improved, the general picture across this vast region is one of stagnation," warns Anne Koch, Director for Europe and Central Asia. "Also very worrying is the marked deterioration in countries like Hungary, FYR of Macedonia, Spain and Turkey where we're seeing corruption grow, while civil society space and democracy shrink. Corruption won't be tackled until laws and regulations are put into action and civil society and the media are genuinely free."
"Once again, 3 of the bottom 10 countries are from the Middle East and North Africa region – Iraq, Libya and Sudan. The ongoing devastating conflicts in these and other countries inevitably mean that any efforts to strengthen institutions and the state have taken a back seat. Yet security will only succeed long-term if governments make a genuine break with cronyism and build trust with citizens," says Ghada Zughayar, Director for Middle East and North Africa.
"From Ebola to terrorism, we've seen corruption exacerbate crises during 2015 in Sub-Saharan Africa," says Chantal Uwimana, Director for Sub-Saharan Africa. "Forty out of the region's 46 countries show a serious corruption problem and there's no improvement for continent powerhouses Nigeria and South Africa. If corruption and impunity are to 'be a thing of the past' as the African Union stated, governments need to take bold steps to ensure rule of law is the reality for everyone."
Corruption is robbing billions of people of a brighter future. It's time for justice
The human cost of corruption is huge, yet all too often leaders with notoriously corrupt records continue to enjoy lives of luxury at the expense of people living in grinding poverty. It's time they faced the consequence of their actions.
"Corruption will stop only when we collectively fight against it," says photographer AM Ahad of his sad portrait of the nine-year-old child worker in Bangladesh. "It is crucial that we change the common mentality of accepting corruption and treat the crime as the terrible thing that it is."
Correction (1 Feb 2016): The Arabic language Middle East & North Africa infographic was incorrectly titled. We apologise for this error, which has now been rectified.
An error in transferring raw data from the Bertelsmann Foundation SGI to the 2015 CPI computation files changed the scores of 11 countries. The incorrect scores affected the published ranks of 31 additional countries/territories by one position.
All scores and ranks have been corrected. All content referring to the countries in question has also been amended.
Breakdown of countries affected by a change in score:

GRAVE. A place where a dead body is interred.
2. The violation of the grave, by taking up the dead body, or stealing the coffin or grave clothes, is a misdemeanor at common law. 1 Russ. on. Cr. 414. A singular case, illustrative of this subject, occurred in Louisiana. A son, who inherited a large estate from his mother, buried her with all her jewels, worth $2000; he then made a sale of all he inherited from his mother, for $30,000. After this, a thief broke the grave and stole the jewels, which, after his conviction, were left with the clerk of the court, to be delivered to the owner. The son claimed them, and so did the purchaser of the inheritance; it was held that the jewels, although buried with the mother, belonged to the son, and, that they passed to the purchaser by a sale of the whole inheritance. 6 Robins. L. R. 488. See Dead Body.
3. In New York, by statutory enactment, it is provided, that every person who shall open a grave, or other place of interment, with intent, 1. To remove the dead body of any human being, for the purpose of selling the same, or for the purpose of dissection; or, 2. To steal the coffin, or any part thereof, or the vestments or other articles interred with any dead body, shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment, in a state prison, not exceeding two years, or in a county gaol, not exceeding six months, or by fine not, exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

The cattle industry is renowned for being the single biggest cause of deforestation globally and a few years ago, Greenpeace confronted the industry's practices in Brazil. With your help we achieved a huge victory within months of launching the campaign and it seemed the cattle industry was ready to clean up its act.
But Brazilian company JBS, the world's biggest meat producer, has failed to stick to its promises and has forced us back into the saddle again.
In 2009, your actions put pressure on shoe companies such as Nike, Timberland and Clarks, which in turn put pressure on their suppliers. The result: an agreement by all the main exporters of beef and leather to no longer buy from cattle farms linked to Amazon deforestation.
Since then, we've continued to monitor the companies and unfortunately, our analysis over the past 18 months shows that JBS has failed to fulfil any of its commitments.
We also have new evidence showing that it is buying from farms that deforest illegally and occupy Indigenous lands. When we found similar evidence back in 2009 and presented it to JBS to help the company get a grip of the problem, JBS promised to address the issues but has failed to meet its commitment.
Of course, we know that change doesn't always happen immediately, so we gave the beef and leather giants two years to implement their agreement.
While there has been some progress, two and a half years later the biggest of the three cattle suppliers, JBS, hasn't even got off the starting blocks.
On top of this, the Brazilian government has done little to address the problem or even implement existing laws to protect the forest and its people. Despite the Brazilian government's status as the largest shareholder in JBS with a 30 percent stake in the company, JBS continues to violate labour and environmental legislation.
JBS continues to claim it is committed to protecting the Amazon. But instead of tackling the problem, JBS has moved the goal posts, trying to downgrade its legal requirements instead of making sure it adheres to the Cattle Agreement.
As part of our investigations, we managed to trace the supply of beef linked to Amazon destruction to supermarkets and wholesalers in Europe and Brazil such as Tesco and Pão de Açúcar. We also found that Dutch and Belgian importers and wholesalers such as Makro, Sligro Food Group and Van Aerde were buying Brazilian beef from JBS.
We informed these companies about the environmental crimes committed by their supplier JBS, but some have failed to face up to their responsibilities and stop buying beef from JBS.
It doesn't have to be this way; we've already seen companies ready to stand up and say that they don't want Amazon destruction in their products. Responsible companies such as Clarks, IKEA, Princes, Sainsbury's, Asda and Sligro have all made the move already – committing to remove Amazon destruction from their supply chains.
JBS needs to stand up and stop driving Amazon destruction. If it doesn't, more of its customers will find alternative suppliers and we will continue to expose its role in deforestation!

Okay, we stop eat beef...but don't stop wearing leather...Where is the logic? We have to think about the chain. EVERYTHING from cattle is used, and the chain goes beyond shoes, purses, beef, it also involves medication, etc. While we don't check the complete chain we won't able to stop those enterprises.

Humans don't need so much meat. One 100g portion of meat twice a week is enough to satisfy protein needs. Doctors help meat companies and tell the public that they need more protein. After eating so much protein people go to doctors for pills and surgeries. Well done.
To finish deforestation, animal extinction, social system needs to be changed. Corporations should be guided by the government. Right now governments are guided by corporations like JBS. Current system is defected and has no future.

I'm not advocating for JBS or Brazil, but I am wondering where does Greenpeace get all of its funding from?
Very curious about how Greenpeace concentrates on discrediting Brazil's beef industry in Europe (with a questionable 'report') while no interest at all has been put on communicating the issue in Brazil's main beef markets (Russia, Middle East, among others).
It is a known issue that European producers have always done whatever is at their extent to halt competitive South American beef imports into Europe...

JBS obtém liminar contra Greenpeace
Quarta-feira, 13 de Junho de 2012, 08:40:15
Agroindústrias, Meio Ambiente
A JBS obteve na Justiça liminar que determina que a partir de hoje a ONG ambientalista Greenpeace tem de retirar de seu site o relatório "JBS Reprovado - Como a maior empresa de carnes do planeta continua massacrando a Amazônia", no qual acusa a companhia pela compra de animais provenientes de áreas desmatadas, de territórios indígenas e de propriedades rurais embargadas por manterem trabalhadores em condições análogas à escravidão.
Maior processadora de proteína animal do mundo, a JBS entrou com a ação logo após as denúncias da ONG. O descumprimento da decisão judicial implicará em multa de R$ 50 mil por dia para o Greenpeace, que ainda poderá recorrer da sentença.
Como informou o Valor, a ONG admitiu ter se equivocado em relação às denúncias sobre compra de gado das fazendas Tesouro Vienense e Vento Sul, ambas localizadas em Mato Grosso. A primeira foi autuada pelo Ibama uma semana após o último fornecimento de gado à JBS. A segunda não havia sido embargada pelo órgão ambiental. Em contrapartida, o Greenpeace afirmou que "as duas estão envolvidas em desmatamentos ilegais, direta ou indiretamente e são fornecedoras da JBS".

The energy is the first cause of atmosphere destruction. How many energy is spent to cook a beef everyday in the world? The meat spend much more energy that vegetables! How many energy the meat industry spend to making the meat a product? How many energy and products of field (hay, grains, soil) for cattle and hens food? How many energy spend cattle and hen heating? And throughout this process how many trees were to cut down and how many vegetables and grains are going out of human food while many people have starve?

You are completely right, the solution is "Don't eat beef".
And JMachado you are correct to say that by stopping the supply chain there wont be anymore of the cow products. But the thing is what Torsten is saying is that main product that cattles are killed for are beef.
That is the biggest money maker that cattle farmers make money from. Think of it this way, has there been any cow that was killed solely for its hide? No, there hasnt been one. Leather is just the waste from producing beef, since when you slaughter the cow for beef you have the leather.
To stop this, people have to stop buying the beef from these farms. But to do so, Green Peace has to attack the beef industry and that is way too hard for them. Therefore they are attacking the slightly weaker industry, the leather industry. Which in my opinion is stupid because even if tanneries stop buying hides from the Scorecard failed farms. Meat packers will still buy beef from these failed farms, so in reality you are not restricting the market of these "failed" beef but they are just forcing tanneries to waste the hides that are by-produced from the meat industry.
In conclusion, this whole scorecard is not actually helping anyone but making lives harder for some because "failed" farmers will continue to farm for beef (as the beef industry is too hard to change stated before) but throw away the hides in land fills. Tanneries will now lose another supplier as they will be condemned if they try to buy these hides, thus their supply costs will be higher.
P.S. as Jmachado said before, cattles are also used for other things as well. Thus these other industries that rely on the by-products of beef will also be suffering from this whole scorecard fiasco. I lived in brazil for a while, and let me just say something. Beef is part of their culture and tourist culture as well, they wont let something like a scorecard hinder them.

President Barack Obama says an agreement between the U.S. and Russia offers a chance to destroy Syria's huge stockpile of chemical weapons and promises to end the threat the weapons pose to the region and the world as well as the Syrian people.
Obama says the international community expects Syria to live up to its public commitments to hand over its chemical weapons stockpile. Warning that the U.S. remains prepared to act if Syria falls short, he also cautions that more work remains even after the progress the deal represents
"The use of chemical weapons anywhere in the world is an affront to human dignity and a threat to the security of people everywhere," Obama said in a statement Saturday. "We have a duty to preserve a world free from the fear of chemical weapons for our children. Today marks an important step towards achieving this goal."
In setting out one of the most ambitious arms-control efforts in history, U.S. and Russian officials reached an agreement calling for an inventory of Syria's chemical weapons program and seizing all its components. The agreement includes imposing penalties if Syrian President Bashar Assad's government fails to comply.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their teams had been meeting day and night in Geneva to develop a framework for ridding the world of Syria's chemicals weapons. A gas attack in the Damascus suburbs on Aug. 21prompted a series of events leading to the meetings.
The U.S. and others blame Assad's government for the attack, though Assad denies the charge. More than 1,400 people died, according to U.S. estimates, the latest victims of Syria's 2�-year-old civil war. Yet polls showed relatively little support among Americans for a military strike against Syria, even after the Obama administration's efforts to argue that punishing the Assad government for violating international norms of warfare was in the security interests of the U.S.
Obama ordered preparations for American airstrikes, but he decided instead to ask for authorization from Congress for military action. Then came the Russian proposal for international control of Syria's chemical weapons, and Obama asked Congress, already largely opposed to military intervention, to delay a vote.
The deal to destroy Syria's chemical weapons also offers the potential for reviving international peace talks to end a civil war that has claimed more than 100,000 lives and sent 2 million refugees fleeing for safety, and now threatens the stability of the entire Mideast.
In Congress, Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who are among Obama's sharpest foreign policy critics and support greater U.S. assistance for Syria's rebels, said the agreement will embolden enemies such as Iran.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California credited the president's "steadfast leadership" for "making significant progress in our efforts to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction."
Obama says deal on chemical weapons a plus for all
President Barack Obama says an agreement between the U.S. and Russia offers a chance to destroy Syria's huge stockpile of chemical weapons and promises to end the threat the weapons pose to the region and the world as well as the Syrian people.

Five more children were being laid to rest Thursday, as well as a Sandy Hook Elementary teacher who was compared to Jesus for giving up her life to protect others.
Other victims of the Newtown school shootings were being remembered at wakes in what has become a grim routine in the aftermath of the Connecticut tragedy, and as churches across the nation prepared to mark the one-week anniversary of the massacre by ringing church bells 26 times at 9:30 a.m. Friday, NBC News reported.
After Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy called for a moment of silence earlier in the week, the National Council of Churches said many of its 100,000 congregations would participate in the bell-ringing.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
For full U.S. news coverage, visit NBCNews.com.
A single bell tolled Thursday at the Newtown funeral mass for 6-year-old Catherine Hubbard at St. Rose of Lima Church. Catherine's family said in her obituary that she would be remembered for her passion for animals and her constant smile.
She was among the 20 students and six teachers killed when Adam Lanza, armed with a military-style assault rifle, broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14 and opened fire. Lanza killed his mother at her home before the attack and committed suicide at the school as police closed in.
Remembering the Sandy Hook Victims: Portraits of the Fallen.
Funerals were also scheduled in Connecticut on Thursday for Benjamin Andrew Wheeler, a spirited and energetic 6-year-old boy who loved soccer and played the piano; 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who enjoyed hot chocolate with his favorite sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich; and Allison Wyatt, a 6-year-old girl who loved gardening and couldn't wait to spend time outdoors each summer. A memorial was held for teacher Lauren Gabrielle Rousseau.
In New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan told mourners at the funeral of Anne Marie Murphy that the teacher "brought together a community, a nation, a world, now awed by her own life and death." Murphy's father, Hugh McGowan, said authorities told him that she died trying to protect her young pupils.
"Like Jesus, Annie laid down her life for her friends," Dolan said. "Like Jesus, Annie's life and death brings light, truth, goodness and love to a world often shrouded in darkness, evil, selfishness and death."
About 15 people arrived at St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Katonah, N.Y., in a yellow school bus with "Newtown" written on its side. The church quickly filled and about 100 mourners waited outside.
Murphy's brother-in-law Thomas Newman read a brief statement before the service.
Her relatives "pray, for all the families touched so terribly, that God may help these feelings of such great pain and grief pass quickly; that they be replaced with only happy thoughts and joyous memories of those we have lost," they said.
Trinity Episcopal church on Newtown's Main Street was filled to capacity for the funeral of Benjamin Wheeler, and scores of mourners who couldn't get in milled about outside on a chilly day. The service for a child described as a lighthouse buff, budding musician and Beatles fan included a rendition of "Here Comes The Sun" and the hymn "Amazing Grace."
Benjamin's five uncles acted as pallbearers. About two dozen Boy Scout leaders lined the front pathway to the church in honor of the former Cub Scout.
In downtown Danbury, mourners filed into the ornate white-pillared First Congregational Church for a memorial service for teacher Lauren Rousseau. The congregation in the packed church sang "Morning Has Broken" and "Let There Be Peace On Earth."
Friends wept on the altar as they remembered the spirited, hardworking, sunny-natured young woman who loved children and animals, especially cats, and who had always wanted to be a teacher. They spoke of how the 30-year-old brightened their lives with her silliness and gave them all nicknames.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was heading to Newtown on Thursday to meet with local law enforcement and emergency responders, a Justice Department official confirmed to NBC News. He was not set to participate in any public events.
In addition to the services, the families of 6-year-old Olivia Rose Engel, behavioral therapist Rachel Marie D'Avino and school psychologist Mary Sherlach had calling hours Thursday.
At least nine funerals and wakes were held Wednesday, and more are set for Friday and Saturday.
"The first few days, all you heard were helicopters," said Dr. Joseph Young, an optometrist who attended one funeral and would go to several more. "Now at my office all I hear is the rumble of motorcycle escorts and funeral processions going back and forth throughout the day."

Elliott Sharp began playing the piano at six. According to Sharp, he was performing concerts by age eight. Sharp claims that his parents wanted him to be both a concert pianist and a scientist. He gave up piano, first in favor of the clarinet and then the guitar. His interest in science led him to build his own effects boxes for the instrument. He became intrigued with all types of experimental music, from contemporary classical to free jazz and sophisticated rock. Sharp studied anthropology at Cornell, where he played in a band and took an electronics class with synthesizer inventor Robert Moog. At Bard College he studied with free jazz pioneer Roswell Rudd (future Lounge Lizards John and Evan Lurie were classmates). He went to graduate school in Buffalo, where his academic advisor was Morton Feldman. He moved permanently to New York City in 1979, where he played gigs at various underground performance spaces, including the notorious Mudd Club. In the '80s Sharp became a major figure on the downtown New York experimental music scene, collaborating with many of it's most prominent players, including John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz, Bobby Previte, and Butch Morris. Over the years, Sharp has led his own bands more often than not. His music draws upon the wide range of his influences, from Coltrane to Zappa to Xennakis and beyond. An improviser at heart, Sharp's compositions tend to be quite loose, allowing plenty of room for the musicians to roam. Among his recent projects is the blues/hardcore/free jazz hybrid Terraplane, with bassist Dave Hofstra, saxophonist Sam Furnace, and drummer Sim. ~ Chris Kelsey

In the simplest of terms, the heart is a pump made up of muscle tissue. The heart's pumping action is controlled by an electrical conduction system that coordinates the contraction of the heart chambers.
An electrical stimulus is generated in a specialized part of the heart muscle called the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node). The sinus node is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium (right upper chamber of the heart). In an adult, the sinus node generates a regular electrical stimulus 60 to 100 times per minute. This electrical stimulus travels down through the conduction pathways and causes the heart's lower chambers (or ventricles) to contract and pump out blood. The right and left atria are stimulated first and contract to push blood from the atria into the ventricles. The ventricles then contract to push blood out into the blood vessels of the body.
The original electrical impulse travels from the sinus node to the atrioventricular node (also called AV node), located between the atria and the ventricles. In the AV node, the impulses are slowed down for a very short period. This allows the atria to contract a fraction of a second before the ventricles. The blood from the atria empties into the ventricles before the ventricles contract. After passing through the AV node, the electrical current then continues down the conduction pathway, via a pathway called the bundle of His, and into the ventricles. The bundle of His divides into right and left pathways, called bundle branches, to provide electrical stimulation to the right and left ventricles.
Normally at rest, the heart contracts about 60 to 100 times a minute depending on a person's age. In general, your heart rate slows as you age.
Under some abnormal conditions, certain heart tissue is capable of starting a heartbeat, or becoming the "pacemaker," just like the sinus node. An arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) may occur when:
The heart's natural pacemaker (the sinus node) becomes diseased and slows down
The normal conduction pathway is interrupted
Another part of the heart takes over as pacemaker resulting in a faster or slower heart beat
Symptoms of an arrhythmia can include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting.
Your doctor may do an ECG (electrocardiogram) to evaluate the rhythm of the heart. This painless test involves recording the electrical activity of your heart with several small stickers attached to your chest. If the electrical rhythm is abnormal, you may need medicine or a procedure.

|Scholarship established in memory of restaurateur
June 23, 2004
A recent donation to SFSU from a local Chinese American family will create the University's first-ever scholarship for international students.
The Diana T.Y. Chung Memorial Scholarship, created with a $25,000 donation from her husband Henry Chung, will award up to two exceptional international students per year with $1,000. Diana Chung died April 10, 2003, at age 84.
"My wife believed very strongly in the values of higher education to better one's life, career and community," said Henry Chung, who was married to Diana for 57 years. "With this scholarship, we hope to help students from other countries earn college degrees and then utilize their knowledge and skills to the benefit of their families, home country and the United States."
The Chungs are credited for introducing the spicy cuisine of their native Hunan, China, province to taste buds in San Francisco. They opened their first Hunan Restaurant in 1974 in Chinatown, earning rave reviews with Diana Chung as its manager. There are now four locations of the restaurant in the city, all still owned by the family.
A physical education teacher and avid athlete in China before she moved to the United States in 1948, Diana Chung was also a longtime supporter of educational causes. She helped finance the rebuilding of a school in her hometown of Changsha in recent years. Diana and Henry Chung sponsored scholars and students from China to attend SFSU and helped establish an orientation and training program for them. The Chungs also donated to various SFSU endeavors, including the Office of International Programs, University Fund, University Scholarship Fund and Center for Biomedical Laboratory Science.
In her spare time, Chung enjoyed traveling, spending time with her family, Chinese painting and occasional gambling. She visited every major continent and enjoyed sightseeing and learning about foreign cultures and foods, but Reno and Las Vegas may have been her favorite destinations, said her son Howard Chung.
"We are grateful for the generous donations from Henry Chung and honored to offer a scholarship in the memory of his wife," said Yenbo Wu, director of international programs. "The scholarship will help ease the financial burden for bright, hard-working international students, who are not eligible for U.S. government financial aid and have limited opportunities for employment due to student visa regulations."
The Diana T.Y. Chung Memorial Scholarship will likely first be offered in 2005. Criteria and eligibility are not yet finalized.
The SFSU Foundation is accepting further donations in memory of Chung for the scholarship. To make a contribution, make a check out to the SFSU Foundation, include "in memory of Diana T.Y. Chung" on the memo line, and send to: Joy Morimoto, Office of Development, San Francisco State University, 1600 Holloway Ave., San Francisco, Calif., 94132.
SFSU, an increasingly popular destination for foreign college students, enrolled 2,267 foreign students representing more than 100 countries in fall 2003. It has more international students than any other master's degree-granting institution in the United States except City University of New York-Baruch College, according to 2002-03 figures from the Institute of International Education.
