It was only a matter of time before Margaret Cho devoted her standup show to motherhood. She has, after all, mined her impression of her traditional mother to crease some of her most memorable comedy routines.
Cho's new show "Mother," though, look at the whole notion of motherhood, not just her own family. The program delves into, as the publicity describes it, "how we look at maternal figures and strong women in queer culture." Through that prism, Cho touches on race, drugs, celebrities, sexuality and more.
She's bringing "Mother" to Foxwoods' Fox Theater for a performance Friday.
Margaret Cho, 8 p.m. Friday, Fox Theater, Foxwoods Resort Casino; $30-$60; 1-800-200-2882.

Technical Abstract: The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, is a cosmopolitan pest of livestock, wild animals, pets and humans. It is a primary pest of cattle in the United States, estimated to cause more than $1 billion in economic losses annually. It also causes dissention at the rural-urban interface and is a problem in recreation areas such as Florida beaches and the Great Lakes. Due to its pestiferous nature and painful bite, methods to control stable flies have been investigated for over a century. A large amount of research has been reported on stable fly biology, ecology, genetics, physiology, and vector competence. In this bibliography literature has been gathered from journals and other resources available to the authors and a selected number of articles have been annotated. This bibliography represents an update of literature published since 1980; literature from pre-1980 was included if copy could be ascertained.

Raynortown, now Freeport, was settled by Edward Raynor and his children in 1659. by Cynthia Krieg The first Raynors who carhe to America were Thurston Raynor, his wife, Elizabeth, their five children, and Thurston's 10-year-old nephew, Edward Raynor. They settled first in Watertown, Massachusetts then Wethersfield, Connecticut and finally, Stamford, Connecticut. Three years later,, in 1644, Thurston Raynor once again uprooted his family and joined with 22jother families in following their religious leader, Rev. Denton, to Long Island where-they settled in Hempstead. Edward elected to stay in Hempstead and eventually established his home in "South Woods" in 1659. It was later named Raynor South, then Raynortown, until 1853, when the residents voted to rename the hamlet Freeport. The Hempstead town leaders appointed Edward Raynor as a cow-keep when he was in his teens. His job was to take care of the cows by driving them to and beyond the east meadow to prevent them from destroying the cornfields. His responsibilities also included keeping predators away and making sure the animals had sufficient water. The Hempstead Plains were a great pasture for the cattle but later they were sent to Freeport and other necks of land on the bayfront because of the "spacious meadows and marshlands...equal or better to any in the north of America." Soon before his 36th birthday, he was a leader in starting Raynor South in 1659. Some householders settled on South Main Street escorted by Edward Raynor who led them on the trails he had blazed as a cowkeeper."

On Monday morning, I stood in a hotel elevator with five strangers, hands gripping the railing. At any moment, we might have freefell.
Down at least twelve floors. Down only twelve floors. And secretly, I prayed that we might be stuck in that encased glass room for more than the five or ten minutes it took to get us out.
I am not claustrophobic. I've squeezed myself into tight quarters during games of hide-and-seek. Held my breath under a bar countertop and inside linen closets. I've suppressed bouts of giggles rather than panic attacks. But I do not like getting stuck in elevators.
This time, though, I thought it might be a learning experience.
When you're surrounded on all sides by five strangers who are trying their best to grin and bear it, despite the overwhelming urge to panic, you try to see it as a teachable moment. I thought, for some ridiculous reason, we might be friends.
Walk out of the other side with a newfound appreciation for our lives.
You always hear about the people who spent a day or a week or a month trapped somewhere and emerge on the other side of the experience with a glow about them. They walk a little lighter, smile a little bigger and laugh a little louder. It changes their whole life.
I stood in that elevator and waited for my very own life-changing experience. Squeezed the railing until my hands turned white. And all the while, I felt calm.
When we jolted downward for a split second, my knees gave out. But in my head, all I could keep thinking was this:
I'm in Elevator K. Is that significant? What if we're stuck here for an hour? Oh well, I've got two hours to kill.
Oh, well? Oh well.
I think it was a lesson in patience and handling chaos. I don't walk; I pace. I don't talk; I ramble.
Don't all of us? Don't we start pushing buttons and raising our voices and banging on the hard glass? We whip out our Blackberry or iPhone and start sending e-mails.
"Might be late for that meeting, Bill. I'm stuck in an elevator."
"Can't get a Starbucks coffee with you, Emily. I'm wedged somewhere between the 11th and 12th floor of the Marriott Marquis in Times Square."
There's still service in a broken elevator. Even if you're freefalling, at least you can update your Facebook status.
Maybe there shouldn't be. Maybe we should all be sitting around chatting about existentialism or the apocalypse or What This Really Means for Us. Maybe God's angry that we've turned Sunday into just another workday.

IF THE celebrity media mill is to be believed, the Shane Warne and Liz Hurley travelling sideshow could soon be leaving Australia, bound for Britain and a new $9 million love nest.
Two days after reports first emerged Warne was putting his Melbourne mansion on the market for $20 million and setting up home with British sexpot Hurley in a grand Georgian estate, the celebrity couple have been all but mute on the subject.
This is indeed interesting, as the "Shurley" romance has been played out, Tweet by nauseating Tweet, in the public domain of social media. Yesterday Warne was too busy congratulating Melbourne radio station 3AW for ditching broadcaster Derryn Hinch to pay any attention to the rumours circulating around his living arrangements.
Warne's manager, James Erskine, denied the palatial Brighton home had been put on the market, yet Melbourne real estate sources yesterday claimed prospective buyers had been seen touring the five-bedroom property in "prestigious" William Street.
On Monday New Idea magazine first reported Warne was about to up stumps, news received with some incredulity given the magazine is engaged in a high-stakes battle with arch rival Woman's Day for any morsels of information, no matter how banal, relating to Warne, Hurley and his ex wife Simone Callahan.
And yet, just last week, Hurley was reportedly looking for a Melbourne school to send her son Damian, leading to yet more media speculation she was the one about to relocate to Australia, which she later denied ... on Twitter.
According to London media reports the pair have bought a huge Georgian mansion on the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire border featuring 187-acres of private grounds with the main residence comprising 13 bedrooms and five bathrooms.
The pair were noted in the local press recently inspecting the property, stocking up on custard tarts and sausage rolls at the local bakery.

Boat show season is busy already for several local companies, but it's about to get bigger. And not just for boating businesses.
The Mid-Atlantic Boat Show returns to Charlotte Feb. 7-10. The show began more than 40 years ago and is one of the largest in the region, this year drawing almost 40 boat dealers and more than 60 marine industry companies or organizations. For people looking to buy a boat, it's the biggest and nearest to kick-start boating season.
Vic Winebarger at Boat Sales of Lake Wylie is one of several in Lake Wylie hoping that buyers will be out in force, mirroring what's being seen elsewhere.
"Shows all across the country are up," Winebarger said.
Lake Wylie Marina has four boat shows in the next two months, and there was one this past weekend in Charleston. That's where the company briefly docked what Matt Sellhorst is most excited to bring to the Mid-Atlantic show.
"Probably going to be one of the bigger, if not the biggest, boats in the show," Sellhorst said of a 2013 410 Sundancer by Sea Ray.
That vessel is more than 41 feet long with room for six.
"It's a cool boat," Sellhorst said. "Nice, big open cabin."
Winebarger most looks forward to introducing the lineup of aluminum deck pontoons that made his company the Veranda top seller last year nationwide. All pontoons up to 30 feet will feature the aluminum, he said.
"It's a patented, no wood," he said. "It costs more, but it'll last forever."
Lake Wylie Marina and Boat Sales of Lake Wylie join other locals at the show including Dock Masters Marine Construction, Tega Cay Marina, Long Cove Marina in Steele Creek, Commodore Yacht Club in Rock Hill, Waterjack Boat Lifts in Fort Mill and A Touch of Glass in Mount Holly.
Safety groups like the Lake Wylie Marine Commission, Charlotte Power Squadron and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police lake patrol also will be present.
Dock Masters owner Perry Johnston will have a dock, boat lift, touchless boat cover and jet ski lift set up. He's highlighting solid PVC decking boards by Gossen that won't rot, warp or splinter and has a lifetime guarantee, and the Hi-Tide boat lifts. There's also a $530 value on some sales.
"We will offer a free remote control this year for any Hi-Tide boat lift purchased during the show," Johnston said.
Marine industry companies say the past few years have shown steady improvement from a dour few years before that. The Mid-Atlantic has all sorts of gear for boaters, but also has features for non-buyers just interested in the pastime.
There's a fashion show and bass fishing tub, and another for catfish and trout. Lure and equipment demonstrations will be included.
Show hours are noon to 9 p.m. Feb. 7-8, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Feb. 9 and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Charlotte Convention Center. Tickets are $8, with $7 tickets for seniors or military and $5 for age 6-12. For more information, visit ncboatshows.com.

My research centers around understanding motion from a theoretically sound yet practical point of view. More broadly, I'm interested in practical algorithm creation and analysis. Recently, this has included applied machine learning projects motivated by collaborations with colleagues who are interested in understanding the patterns inherent in the data of their fields.
Current Projects
Understanding Motion I'm interested in understanding motion from a computational geometry and information theoretic point of view; creating frameworks and analyses that are theoretically sound and yet practically relevant. I'm working with Dianna Xu and Betul Atalay on related ideas for practical frameworks for kinetic data. I recently gave a talk on the information content in motion at the AALAC/Mellon 23 Working Group on Information.
Beyond the Red Pen
I'm working with Education professor Alice Lesnick and fellow computer scientist John Dougherty (JD) on an applied machine learning, educational technology, and human computer interaction project to create tools to automate tedious teacher tasks like grading.
The Dark Reaction Project
I'm working with Chemists Josh Schrier and Alex Norquist as well as computer science student Paul Raccuglia '14 on an applied machine learning project.
We are collecting experimental data from materials chemistry experiments and using the outcomes to predict what future experiments might be successful.
Past Projects
Indoor Location for Google Maps (Google X) As part of the indoor location team within Google X, I helped to use and develop applied machine learning techniques to implement an indoor location determination system running within Google Maps for Mobile on Android.

Mulcair will become Canada's next prime minister (thread #9)
Sounds more like like the poor Globe is moaning over the loss of 1 of the 2 right-wing parties in Canada.
'Sad and pathetic' anti-Mulcair salvo lacks punch of past Tory attackshttp://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/sad-and-pat...
So the fight begins.
Tom Mulcair's call for environmental responsibility hits nerve in the Westhttp://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1175215--tim-harper-...
This is concerning in that it has the potential to split the left-of-centre folks into 2 camps - the ones that vote, and the ones that don't!
Yea, right!
The revelations add ammunition to critics who have charged that the Harper government is waging a campaign to demonize legitimate opponents of resource developments like the Northern Gateway, by labelling them as radicals or including them in Canada's "counter-terrorism" strategy.Saik'uz First Nation Chief Jackie Thomas, a member of the Yinka Dene Alliance who made a cross-country trip on the "Freedom Train" to protest in Toronto against the pipeline on Wednesday, said she has had suspicions for some time about RCMP surveillance.
"We've always been peaceful, but this is how they try to paint us as the enemy," said Thomas, a grandmother and mother of four concerned that an oil spill could destroy the lands she hunts and fishes on with many of her community members.
"The federal government seems to be using all its arms to push through this project against the will of anyone who opposes it, but we won't be deterred. It is not a crime to defend our land and waters from a tarsands pipeline and to make the future safe for our grandkids."
According to the documents, the RCMP unit gathered intelligence from unspecified "industry reports," newspapers and websites, and Facebook and Flickr photo accounts.
They also appear to have monitored private meetings, including one between First Nations and environmental organizations held in Fraser Lake, B.C., at the end of November, which Thomas says was not announced publicly.
The meeting's purpose was "to strengthen the alliance between First Nations and environmental groups opposing Enbridge," an intelligence report from December states.
Enbridge declined to comment about whether it has been exchanging information with the RCMP.
Is Mulcair walking back previous pro-Israel positions?
During the NDP leadership campaign, Mulcair was often portrayed as the most pro-Israel candidate in the race. That was because, in 2008, the left-wing magazine Canadian Dimension published a translated quote from Mulcair, in which he said, "I am an ardent supporter of Israel in all situations and in all circumstances." ("Je suis un ardent supporter de toutes les instances et de toutes les circonstances d'Israël.")
In his interview with the Straight, Mulcair emphasized that he is also an "ardent supporter of the creation of a Palestinian state".
"That has always been the NDP's position," he said. "We should create a state for Palestinians and we should have a state for Israelis: a classic two-state solution."
He added that this should be achieved "within a framework of international law and UN resolutions".
"So on the international-law side, we know that the current [Israeli government] settlement policies, for example, go against the fourth Geneva Convention," Mulcair stated. "So that's something very clear in the NDP position, which has always been my position."
Given his opposition to settlements in the occupied territories, the Straight suggested that Mulcair wasn't an ardent supporter of Israel in all situations and in all circumstances.
"There is no contradiction between the two," the NDP leader replied. "You can be an ardent supporter of a country and say that something that they're doing in that case has to be changed. But it doesn't mean you're not a supporter of the country. You have to be very careful with those words. What I'm saying is I'm not going to use my opposition to something that they're doing as an excuse to call for an end to the state of Israel, which is what some of the adversaries of Israel do."
He's doing as I predicted he would: now that he is Leader, his personal support of Israel takes a back seat to the de facto positioning of the NDP on the issue.
Previously, Mulcair stretched the limits of heavily tilting towards Israel in practice, while staying within the bounds of the NDPs formal position. That's easy, since the 'literal position' is so vague. But in practice, the NDP is as critical of Israel as elected Canadian politicians generally get, and Mulcair as leader is now re-positioning himself to be there.
Of course he says that this was always his position- and I'm not really questioning him on that. But the intent of that old quote often kicked around was to express all but uncritical support of Israel, and he is as predicted pedaling away from it now. He was wise to just leave it alone during the race, even knowing this was where he would be going.
Jack generally left others to speak about Israel and Palestine issues. Mulcair will probably do that even more.
If anyone predicted that Mulcair's personal support for Israel would take a back seat, then they were awful quiet about it during the leadership campaign. I remember "indistinguishable from Harper" was the battlecry here. KenS is one of the few people who noted that the NDP positioning on I-P is vague. But whenever someone posted a quote from the NDP platform, the battlecry became "then the whole NDP is indistinguishable from Harper".
Regardless of whether it was predictable or not, I'm really pleased to see Mulcair committing to peace. No war with Iran. No more settlements in occupied territories. A state for Palestine.
For what it's worth, I wonder if there's something lost in the translation of "Je suis un ardent supporter de toutes les instances et de toutes les circonstances d'Israel." Maybe in French is sounds less like uncritical support of the Israeli government, and more like uncritical support of Israel's right to exist.
The last thing: there's a lot of pressure for politicians to give into anti-Islam hysteria. We have to keep pressuring the NDP and Mulcair to resist that. Whether you think Mulcair has changed or he's been right all along, keep pressuring him.
We should create a state for Palestinians and we should have a state for Israelis: a classic two-state solution.
Is the two state solution the NDP's official policy?
I want to like Tom but he needs to show more of an unbiased approach than just saying he supports a two state solution.
Where are the comments from Mulcair regarding the almost 1,600 political prisoners on a hunger strike in the Israeli gulag. They are supporting a smaller number of prisoners who have been jailed for months and years without being charged or convicted of any crime. That might be a good place to show the NDP stands for something not just support for Israel. Although since Canada also has laws now that allow for imprisonment without the benefit of due process he would first have to call for overturning the terrorism laws here.
Personally I think that one secular state is the answer most likely to bring lasting peace. But I am neither Israeli or Palestinian so my views are irrelevant as are the NDP's on the "solution."
"No member of our caucus, whatever other title they have, is allowed to invent their own policy," said Mulcair. "We take decisions together, parties formulate policies together, and to say that you're personally in favour of boycott, divestment and sanctions for the only democracy in the Middle East is, as far as I'm concerned, grossly unacceptable."
I am still waiting for him to apologize to the people of Turkey, our NATO ally and the people of Lebanon. This "Israel is the only democracy" is bullshit. Israel is a racist state that denies basic freedoms based on religion.
That latter quote is what he said in the heat of the Libby affair- in case anyone really thought there was any doubt he was then stretching NDP 'policy' as far as he could make it sound like it goes.
Which is the same Tom Mulcair that provided that more recent supporter of Israel forever quote that got so much circulation, and the Straight brought up to him.
Like I said, we will not be hearing any more of this from Tom Mulcair. But if you want peace, dont expect sacrifices at the altar. The changed Tom Mulcair you have got. But there will be no apology for stands of the past.
I am still waiting for him to apologize to the people of Turkey, our NATO ally and the people of Lebanon. This "Israel is the only democracy" is bullshit. Israel is a racist state that denies basic freedoms based on religion.
Doesn't Turkey consider itself part of Europe?
More than two-thirds of all oilsands production in Canada is owned by foreign entities, sending a majority of the industry's profits out of the country, says a new analysis released Thursday by a British Columbia-based conservation group.
The research by Forest Ethics Advocacy was based on an analysis of shareholder information in January 2012 from Bloomberg Professional of more than a dozen companies, including nine with headquarters in Canada, and six with their head offices in other countries. It found 71 per cent of the ownership of oilsands production was foreign, while the foreign-based companies controlled 24.2 per cent of the sector's production.
"Some notably Canadian oil companies, such as Suncor, Canadian Oil Sands and Husky, are predominantly owned by non-Canadians," said the report. "The data also shows us that more than half of Canada's oil and gas revenue goes to foreign entities."
The analysis, which also used production data in January from Oilsands Review, a publication that focuses on unconventional oil issues, found $11.7 billion of investments in oilsands production between 2007 and 2011 were coming from China, making up about 16 per cent of the total investments of $73.6 billion in that time period.
Alberta's oilsands sector has become a target of many well-organized environmental campaigns because it requires huge amounts of land, water and energy to extract heavy oil from the natural bitumen deposits in the ground that are considered to make up one of the largest oil reserves in the world.
But Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government responded by launching an international lobbying and marketing campaign, in partnership with industry and the Alberta government, to promote the oilsands industry abroad and counter foreign environmental policies that target the sector's footprint on the atmosphere.
Internal federal documents have concluded oilsands production is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada.
Scientists and governments from around the world say all sources of the heat-trapping emissions must be dramatically reduced to avoid potentially irreversible changes to the planet's ecosystems, atmosphere and the global economy from climate change.
Meantime, the Canadian Energy Research Institute, a government-funded think-tank, has estimated that the oilsands sector is responsible for more than 100,000 direct and indirect jobs in Canada, and will contribute more than $1.7-trillion to the country's economy over the next 25 years. But the institute's research has been challenged by some economists, including former Insurance Corporation of British Columbia president Robyn Allan, who have argued this analysis doesn't adequately consider the impact of fluctuations of the Canadian dollar or oil prices, among other factors.
Forest Ethics Advocacy said that its own analysis on ownership demonstrates that recent efforts by Harper's government to weaken Canada's environmental protection laws and speed up approval of industrial projects are not in the national interest.
Saskatchewan's Lorne Nystrom Reacts to Mulcair's Oil Comments
"Nystrom says Mulcair is all in favour of resource development as long as it is sustainable. Nystrom has been a supporter of Mulcair and is a prominent New Democrat, particularly on the national scene.
more on Nystrom:
Turkey is primarily in Asia. There is a little bit in Europe. Turkish people do NOT think they are European they see themselves as Turkish. Bulgaria is its only European neighbour but it borders the Asian countries of Georgia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria.
Istanbul hasn't been Constantinople since 1453. Much of Istanbul is technically in Europe since the city straddles the Bosphorus. So it is one of the largest cities in Europe. Just because Victoria and the southern tip of Vancouver Island are below the 49th parallel does not mean they are American. Despite the geography that should make them part of the US I can assure you Victoria is Canadian.
For the purpose of democracies I note that the capital Ankara is completely in Asia.
What about Lebanon or Palestine? Are their democracies more tainted than Greece or the USA? Hopefully he will not repeat such rude slights of other countries voters.
haha, turkey's as european as lebanon is. if old kemal had come out on the losing side (in the way, say, that the greek communists did), this discussion would be completely moot. in effect, however, the conscious adoptions of western moeurs by the elite classes of post-ww1 turkey - and concomitant westernization program - has seeped down to the great many, creating a general feeling that the turkish people's cultural particularlities have more in common with their european neighbors than their muslim cousins or their linguistic relations in the caucauses and steppes from which their ancestors swooped a few hundred years ago, to put paid to the eastern empire.
Manufacturing consent in Turkey included the NATO military getting rid of the main non-european centered party.
In 1998, Erdoğan, then mayor of Istanbul, was sentenced for religious sedition over a poem with Islamist connotations that he had recited at a political rally. He served four months in jail.
The conviction came less than a year after then-Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan resigned under the pressure of a secularist campaign led by the military known as the "post-modern coup."
Erdoğan slammed the support that much of the mainstream media, judiciary and civic groups gave the army during the time of the coup. "We clenched our fists and bit our lips. We prayed for patience and hoped that Allah would be with the oppressed," Erdoğan said.
"We endured the broadcasts that insulted our faith, fanned provocations and splattered scum on the people from the screens. We endured the justice system of those who gave 10-minute standing ovations to briefings [by the military] and issued lightning rulings against us. We showed patience to the hypocrites who saluted the military under the guise of nongovernmental groups," he said. "And today is the day when the curses of the oppressed are taking effect and justice is prevailing. God willing, Turkey will never again go through such dark periods and democracy will never be suspended."
Parliamentary Speaker Cemil Çiçek, meanwhile, cautioned against feeling of "revenge" and described the investigation as a "test for the country."

Killer Summer Heat
Death Toll in U.S. Cities from Rising Temperatures Due to Climate Change
Climate change is literally killing us. According to NRDC's "Killer Summer Heat" report, more than 150,000 Americans could die by the end of this century due to the excessive heat caused by climate change. And that estimate only covers America's top 40 cities.
Why will climate change cause so many casualties? Illnesses that are caused or made worse by extreme heat -- including heat exhaustion, heat stroke, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease -- currently lead to hundreds of deaths each year.
As carbon pollution continues to rise, the number of dangerously hot days each summer will increase even further, leading to a dramatic increase in the number of lives lost.
While everyone in these urban areas is at risk, children and the elderly are the most vulnerable.

Why Is Extreme Heat Dangerous?
Scientists expect that average temperatures in North America will rise by another 4°F -11°F this century. The risks to public health are greatest when high temperatures mix with other weather conditions to cause what's known as an "Excessive Heat Event," or EHE. EHE days occur when a location's temperature, dew point temperature, cloud cover, wind speed and surface atmospheric pressure throughout the day combine to cause or contribute to heat-related deaths in that location.
Health impacts spike during excessive heat events. For example, when California was hit by deadly heat waves in 2006, the heat caused during a two-week period 655 deaths, 1,620 excess hospitalizations, and more than 16,000 additional emergency room visits, resulting in nearly $5.4 billion in costs. During a 1995 record-setting heat wave in Chicago, over 700 people died due to the excessive heat.
EHE days vary by region and location. Factors such as geography, green space, local warning and preventive measures affect how much impact the weather will actually have on health.
To limit the health impacts of climate change, we need to reduce carbon pollution from top sources like power plants and refineries. The EPA has taken its first big step toward setting limits for industrial carbon sources by proposing limits on carbon pollution from new power plants. Please join us in supporting this important step, and urging the EPA to take the next step by setting limits on carbon from other sources as well.

Myanmar, Burma
Christian children from the Karen minority worship at a refugee camp |
The release of Aung San Suu Kyi and her winning a parliamentary seat in April 2012 have created some optimism about Burma's future. But little has changed for Burma's Christians. The military has continued to pursue its agenda of intimidation and violence against ethnic minority groups, the majority of whom are Christians.
They face targeted and severe abuse for both their ethnicity and their faith. In ethnic minority regions the Burmese military has continued to intimidate and harass pastors and other Christian workers, disrupt worship services and destroy churches. Christian women are also abducted, raped and used for sex trafficking. A grandmother from a predominantly Christian minority was gang-raped and tortured for three days in May 2012 as she took shelter in a church when troops invaded her village.
In June 2011 the military broke a 17-year ceasefire with the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO). More than 75,000 Kachin people, many of whom are Christian, have been displaced as soldiers attack villages, raze houses and torture the people. The military also decreed in 2012 that Christian groups in Kachin state have to get permission 15 days in advance for activities such as "reading the Bible, fasting, prayer…"It is feared that if the conflict continues Kachin Christians will have no choice but to flee to China.
The Burmese army actively promotes conversion to Buddhism. Christians are sometimes forced to help build and maintain Buddhist pagodas and monasteries or to destroy church buildings. In impoverished areas Christian children are enticed to join government-run schools, where they are prevented from practising their faith and beaten for failing to recite Buddhist scriptures.

FacetheFactsUSA: More than half of federally owned land approved for oil exploration going unexploited
Each day in the 100 days leading up to Election Day, registercitizen.com and Face the Facts USA will be partnering to bring you one exhaustively researched and vetted, non-partisan fact about a major issue facing our nation.
FACT #75: Much public land exploration is on hold
More than half the federally owned land approved for oil exploration and leased to energy firms for that purpose is going unexploited – because the companies holding the rights say it would be economically infeasible.
175 billion barrels of oil lie under federally owned land. 70 percent of that land has been approved for exploration and drilling. But 56 percent of it goes untapped. Offshore exploration is even more modest, with 72 percent of the area leased to energy interests not producing oil.
The Congressional Budget Office says the leaseholders are waiting until oil production becomes more profitable.
In the meantime, the government makes a profit on the leases whether or not the energy companies act. Today's slideshow reveals how much – and more.
After you check it out, check out "What Do Others Say?" below for views and ideas on the elusive goal of "energy independence." In our discussion thread, share what you think about domestic drilling. Worth the risk and cost?

Comments about AIRMAN Turbo Cordless Air Pump:
Sorry, this product looks good, but I was not impressed at all. Most of all, after 15 hours of recomended charge time, it was already going dead just blowing up 4 $8 rafts from [@]. It did not have enough power to deflate them after. It also has too many parts that if you lost any of them, would render it useless. There is a much better choice.

I saw a really good deal for RAM that I didn't want to pass up but, I wanted to double-check any potential compatibility issues with my m.b. voltage first.
My motherboard is the Abit NF-M2 nView ;
I currently have - Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 Bladed Series (2x512) PC2-6400 (800MHz) PDC21G6400ELK 5-5-5-12 Eased Latency DIMM Kit.
I wanted to add - 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC24G6400ELK
Cas Latency: 5
Timing: 5-5-5-12
Voltage: 2.0V
I wanted to ensure that 1. there would be no problems with m.b. voltage. And 2, make sure I could still use my 2x512's in the other two slots? I would put the 2g sticks into slots 1 & 2 and then move the 512's into slots 3 & 4 of course.
Any problems with this?

Ambien is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from insomnia and brain disorders. It is very active nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic and it pertains to class Imidazopyridine. It is the brand name of Zolpidem Tartrate and has several variants. One of its variant is known as Adormix. Ambien CR and Edluar are its other forms. Zolpimist, Hypnogen, and Ivedal are also its generic forms. Many countries are preparing Ambien with various names. In Poland it is being sold under the name of Sanval and Stilnox and many more. In Egypt many company are manufacturing this drug under different names.
Some of them are known as Zordorm, Zolnox, and Sucedal. Similarly in South Africa it is being manufactured with the name of Zolsana. There is another variant which is known as Zolphihexal. This long list of Ambien products shows its popularity throughout the world. According to well calculated statistics more than 75 million persons are suffering from insomnia. When these people visit any doctor he prescribes them the use of Ambien. The other drug used for this purpose is bezodiazepine which although has similar effects on brain for inducing sleep yet Ambien is considered more efficacious in producing the desired effect.
Ambien has complex molecular configuration and its molecular weight is 764.88. It is found in pulverized and crystallized form. Its color is usually between white and off-white. As far as its solubility is concerned, it is soluble in water to some extent. Similar case is with other solvent alcohol. To some extent it can be dissolved in propylene glycol too. It is available in the form of five to tem milligram pills.
Ambien- As with several prescription drugs you'll want to solely buy Ambien online to get used just as a physician recommends it. You should never go beyond any highly recommended medication dosage, even when you think the particular prescription medication is damaged properly. If you feel you're looking for a higher medication dosage of the prescription medication you'll want to get in touch with your medical professional as soon as possible, nonetheless under no circumstances go ahead and take judgement into the personal fingers. Each prescription is certainly personally identified for everybody therefore it may be hazardous to attempt to control your personal using of the prescription medication just like Ambien. Also, it is advised that you simply in no way decrease your amount or quit taking Ambien with out 1st contacting a physician. This will likely contribute to flahbacks signs or symptoms and a recurrence of your unique gripe.

Teaching young kids self-control
How to help your children think before acting (and resist those marshmallows!).
By GreatSchools Staff
Want to learn more about your children? Then get out the marshmallows.
Here's how it works: Tell them they can have one marshmallow now — or wait and have two in 15 minutes. According to the famous study first done by psychology professor Walter Mischel 40 years ago (click here for a recreation), children's ability to wait (or not) says a lot about how well they'll do in school, with friends, and with family. And, incredibly, waiting for that extra marshmallow can even predict their success as adults — in work and relationships.
If your kids are the "I want the marshmallow now!" type, don't worry. The news is still good: Learning to control emotions and behavior is a skill that can be taught. In fact, a recent study published by the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology found that teaching self-control techniques to elementary school-age children who had difficulty reining in their emotions and behavior significantly reduced suspensions and other disciplinary problems.
That said, knowing how to think before acting can be especially difficult for very young children. But by helping them practice over and over (and over), parents are providing one of life's most valuable skills.
Lay out expectations
Some kids react badly because they don't know what to expect in some situations or what will be expected of them. So fill them in ahead of time if they need to wait for something or be asked to do a difficult task: "We're going to visit Grandma, and she and I will be talking for a while. Let's put together a bag of crayons and paper so you won't be bored." "My friend and her children are coming to visit. You might need to share some toys, so let's put away the ones that are really special to you."
Give them the words
Help children learn to recognize the troubling emotions they're feeling before having an outburst or tantrum: "Boy, you were really mad when I said you couldn't have a quarter for the gumball machine." "You seemed sad when your sister said you're too little to play with her and her friends." Also, encourage children to give voice to what they are feeling: "I feel sad when ..." or "I feel frustrated when ... " You can also help them learn to use self-control phrases (which, in turn, can help them refrain from impulsive, thoughtless behavior) like "May I borrow that?" "It's OK, I can share with you," "I'll wait my turn," and "I would like it now, but I'll wait until later."

Local horse breeders, owners, agree with racing safety report's recommendations
SARATOGA SPRINGS — A state report on racing safety should be a wake-up call for the entire industry, not just New York, a prominent horseman says.
"They raised a lot of issues that should be raised," said Jack Knowlton, owner of Saratoga Springs-based Sackatoga Stable. "A lot of suggestions make sense and, if followed, will improve the health and safety of the horse. But I hope it's not just an indictment of New York."
"I would love to see the same thorough review done in some of the other major racing states," he said. "You hear quite often that there [are] more lax regulations than there is in New York."
New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association President Rick Violette said he hasn't had a chance to review the report's details. Among its recommendations, several different drugs could not be administered close to race day. Sometimes drugs are used to help a horse race when it probably shouldn't.
"We've been ahead of the curve of medication reform," said Violette, a New York Racing Association board member. "There's no question some therapies will be farther out from race day. We might have some horses that aren't going to be able to race here. We're fine with that."
John Hendrickson, a partner in the Marylou Whitney Stable and a NYRA board member, described the group's study as a "very professional report with solid, proactive recommendations."
"Other tracks should follow the recommendations of this report," he said. "It's a nationwide problem. Even one death is unacceptable. I like our horses better than I like the sport. These recommendations will help protect our equine athletes, as well as our jockeys."
Based on information from the Jockey Club's Equine Injury Database, the nationwide fatality rate for 2011 was 1.88 per thousand starts. For seven of the last eight calendar years — 2004-11 — the fatality rate at the NYRA tracks, as a whole, was lower than 1.88 per thousand starts.
One of the report's other major recommendations calls for a restructuring of veterinarians within NYRA. Until now, they've reported to people in racing operations, a conflict of interest, because decisions about a horse's soundness are directly related the economics of racing. Other proposals are a new state equine medical director who would oversee all veterinarians, new claiming and purse rules, and a hotline that jockeys could call to report issues without fear of retribution.
Barry Ostrager, president of Saratoga Springs-based New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc., said, "It is clear the task force took a thoughtful and comprehensive look at our industry. The New York breeders support the strengthening of regulations intended to protect the welfare of thoroughbred race horses." Continued...
Racing and Wagering Board Chairman John Sabini said the board will hold a special meeting within the next two weeks to enact several emergency rules in accordance with the task force's recommendations. These rules will apply to all thoroughbred racing in New York. The board will also adopt other recommended protocols and policies that do not require specific rulemaking actions
Rules expected to be enacted on an emergency basis include:
n Voiding claims
(at claimant's discretion)
for horses that are vanned off the grounds
n Requiring that claimants be advised of intra-
articular corticosteroid

I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this already. This thread is for Charlie V tweets and discussion about his tweets.
June 13 6:46am: Last comment, How can you get cut from something, when you NEVER tried out? is that possible? i guess so, lol June 13 6:47am: anyways need my rest, second workout of the day is waiting for me June 13 8:52am: Quote of the Day "Every Saint has a past and every sinner has a future"
Isiah Thomas posted an official response to the controversy of the video and man the vile putridity of peoples comments. As much as I WTF CV, I hope people aren't doing the same to him. That's Joe's deal. CV's just a playa ballin' in the game of life man.
June 14 5:36pm: So true, God is good http://lockerz.com/s/217225019 June 14 5:36pm: Toronto what it do, where my canadians at?
An intimidating quote in the format of a poor quality image followed by a declaration of his own exodus to an exotic location. This is most cryptic but seems to suggest he's gone rogue has nothing to lose. I can certainly relate, as my good friend Pete borrowed my pair of dial calipers a month ago and has yet to return them, leaving me just as disgruntled; though I certainly channel my frustration and disappointment in better ways than this man - namely in the art of home improvement (this month is the carpet).
In Charlie's defense isn't the Dominican already kind of an exotic location? It's not like he has to go far. You should also check out the dial calipers thread to see if someone here has an extra. I'm sure they'd lend it to you. I just laid down a sweet shag carpet in the bedroom. It's like walking barefoot through the grass in the AM.

A wise man asked a blind man if there was anything worse than losing your sight and the blind mans says "can you repeat that?"
A wise man asked a fat man if there is anything that could be worse than loosing your spot. "Yes," said the fat man... "loosing your spot without trying out."

Cool first episode.
I am nowhere close to a math expert but been interested in statistics since I started poker lol.
Are you using the central limit theorem to approximate the distribution to a normal-distribution? Does the theorem apply because we have a sample greater than 50 or sth?
Looking forward to calculating our theoretical winrate using a F-distribution or whatever it is in future episodes.

The Maine Department of Health and Human Services will end the budget year with a $12.5 million shortfall, meaning health care providers won't receive their June MaineCare reimbursements until July. Meanwhile, the state retirement system will require about $80 million less than previously expected in the next two-year budget.
DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew told lawmakers Monday that higher-than-anticipated costs for prescription drugs and other items led to the department's shortfall, according to MaineToday Media. Providers won't receive their final reimbursements of the budget year, which ends June 30, until July. The state is also working to recoup some of the $16 million it overpaid to providers in the last year, an error due to computer billing problems. So far the state has received back $7 million, and is seeking another $4 million.
In related budget news, Maine Public Employee Retirement System Director Sandy Matheson told lawmakers that the state will not need to pay out to the retirement system as much as it expected. Original projections pegged the amount for 2014 and 2015 at $690 million, but she expected the amount would actually be $600 million-$610 million, according to the media company. The change is due to reforms to the retirement system passed last year that included freezing benefits and capping cost-of-living increases.

Includes 4-Link conversion kit plus two front and two rear Superide shocks. Front lift is achieved via replacement coil springs. The new Ford SuperDuty is very sensitive to caster angle change. As the truck is lifted, the frame-mounted radius arms cause the front axle to rotate, resulting in less caster angle. Incorrect caster angle makes the truck more difficult to steer, since the truck's normal tendency to self-center is reduced. Incorrect caster can also induce steering shimmy. One more point that emphasizes the importance of correct caster angle and steering geometry in general. as a truck is loaded, by adding cargo or trailer tongue weight, caster is lost as the vehicle's rear ride height drops. When hauling or towing, driveability is even more important. The 10" Lift system utilizes two methods of caster correction: standard type radius arm drop brackets that lower the rear (frame mounted) ends of the radius arms and a bracket that bolts to the front of the radius arm. Using the standard type radius arm drop at the frame end alone would overly stress the frame rails in addition resulting in an unpleasant appearance.
Foot Notes 116-Do not alter system components to gain lift height. 117-Factory rear overload springs cannot be retained if replacement rear springs are used. 119-Dually applications will require wider U-Bolts. Measure stock U-Bolts and Select Rear Axle Size above. If not sure call for ordering assistance. 150-Replacement front drive shaft required - Superlift part# 9037 is available - See Related Products below. ***-Dual Steering Stabilizer required (Factory stabilizer WILL NOT WORK) - Superlift part# 92694 is available - See Related Products below.

Links to two articles in which the San Mateo DA is or has prosecuted a law enforcement officer:
Web Link carrier charged with stealing mail
Web Link officer takes deal for embezzlement
The interesting thing to note in the second case is that the officer plead guilty to a felony rather than a misdemeanor. This means he will never work in law enforcement again and is permanantly barred from possessing firearms.
Posted by Lurker, a resident of another community, on Dec 27, 2012 at 9:19 am
Well, one has yet to be convicted and the other got a slap on the wrist.
Plus, this is a very odd but telling comment by DA Wagstaffe in one of the stories:
"Of course, there is always the philosophical question of whether a police officer should be held to a little bit higher standard.�
Many citizens believe that Wagstaffe does not hold police in San Mateo County to higher standards.
Posted by Higher?, a resident of another community, on Dec 27, 2012 at 11:43 am
Come on now...it's well known that he won't even hold them to the SAME standard let alone a higher one. All part of backwards SMC and unions having way too much say, and Wagstaffe's "law enforcement family" philosophy.
I can tell you when he will prosecute and when he won't. It's really simple (I used to work in that office): does the police department/chief support it or not? Has nothing to do with any other factor.

Presumptions as to documents
—(1) The court shall presume to be genuine every document purporting to be a certificate, certified copy or other document which is by law declared to be admissible as evidence of any particular fact, and which purports to be duly certified by any public officer in Singapore or any officer in Malaysia who is duly authorised thereto, if such document is substantially in the form and purports to be executed in the manner directed by law in that behalf.
(2) The court shall also presume that any officer by whom any such document purports to be signed or certified held, when he signed it, the official character which he claims in such document.
82. Whenever any document is produced before any court purporting to be a record or memorandum of the evidence or of any part of the evidence given by a witness in a judicial proceeding or before any officer authorised by law to take such evidence, or to be a statement or confession by any prisoner or accused person, taken in accordance with law and purporting to be signed by any Judge or Magistrate or by any such authorised officer, the court shall presume —
that the document is genuine;
that any statements as to the circumstances under which it was taken, purporting to be made by the person signing it, are true; and
that such evidence, statement or confession was duly taken.
83. 2The court shall presume the genuineness of every document purporting to be the Government Gazette of Singapore or the Government Gazette of Malaysia or of any part of the Commonwealth, or to be the Gazette issued by the local government of any part of Malaysia or of the Commonwealth, or to be a newspaper or journal and of every document purporting to be a document directed by any law to be kept by any person, if such document is kept substantially in the form required by law and is produced from proper custody.
2 See also section 48 of the Interpretation Act (Cap. 1) and the explanation appended to section 92 of this Act.
84. When any document is produced before any court purporting to be a document which by the law in force for the time being in England or Northern Ireland would be admissible in proof of any particular in any court of justice in England or Northern Ireland, without proof of the seal or stamp or signature authenticating it, or of the judicial or official character claimed by the person by whom it purports to be signed —
the court shall presume that such seal, stamp or signature is genuine, and that the person signing it held at the time when he signed it the judicial or official character which he claims; and
the document shall be admissible for the same purpose for which it would be admissible in England or Northern Ireland.
86. The court shall presume the genuineness of every book purporting —
to be printed or published under the authority of the government of any country and to contain any of the laws of that country; or
to contain reports of decisions of the courts of such country.
87. The court shall presume that every document purporting to be a power of attorney, and to have been executed before and authenticated by a notary public or any court, Judge, Magistrate or consular officer of Singapore, was so executed and authenticated.
88. The court may presume that any document purporting to be a certified copy of any judicial record of any country not forming part of the Commonwealth is genuine and accurate if the document purports to be certified in any manner which is certified by any representative of the President or of Her Britannic Majesty in or for such country to be the manner commonly in use in that country for the certification of copies of judicial records.
89. The court may presume that any book to which it may refer for information on matters of public or general interest, and that any published map or chart the statements of which are relevant facts and which is produced for its inspection, was written and published by the person and at the time and place by whom or at which it purports to have been written or published.
90. The court may presume that a message forwarded from a telegraph office to the person to whom such message purports to be addressed corresponds with a message delivered for transmission at the office from which the message purports to be sent; but the court shall not make any presumption as to the person by whom such message was delivered for transmission.
91. The court shall presume that every document called for and not produced, after notice to produce given under section 68, was attested, stamped and executed in the manner required by law.
92. Where any document purporting or proved to be 30 years old is produced from any custody which the court in the particular case considers proper, the court may presume that the signature and every other part of such document which purports to be in the handwriting of any particular person is in that person's handwriting, and in the case of a document executed or attested, that it was duly executed and attested by the persons by whom it purports to be executed and attested.
Explanation .—Documents are said to be in proper custody if they are in the place in which and under the care of the person with whom they would naturally be; but no custody is improper if it is proved to have had a legitimate origin, or if the circumstances of the particular case are such as to render such an origin probable. This explanation applies also to section 83.
A has been in possession of landed property for a long time. He produces from his custody deeds relating to the land, showing his titles to it. The custody is proper.
A produces deeds relating to landed property of which he is the mortgagee. The mortgagor is in possession. The custody is proper.
A, a connection of B, produces deeds relating to lands in B's possession, which were deposited with him by B for safe custody. The custody is proper.

sIFR not displays the text
I follow Chris screencast about sIFR but I cant get it to work. The replacement text dont display (same with the "original" text) on the page.
link to issue
Any help plz?You need to include the relevant CSS in sifr-config.js
sIFR.replace(avenir, {
selector: 'h1.teste',
css: [
'.sIFR-root { MAIN CSS PROPERTIES }'
wmode: 'transparent'
eg. Font size, color, weight etc.Did that already, but the problem remains.Then it has to be an issue with your path. Instead ofvar avenir = { src: '/flash/avenir.swf' };
tryvar avenir = { src: 'flash/avenir.swf' };
Thanks for your patience @apostrophe, but already did that to. Can't figure out what's the issue here and if you type the url for the avenir.swf path it gives you the rendered message of the file.Problem solved after trying with other type of font. My avenir font might have same issues with sIFR.I see that your path to the new SWF is without the forward slash, I would try it again with avenir and maybe re-create your SWF first.
