SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University women's tennis team dropped a hard-fought match to Pacific 4-3 this afternoon at the SCU Tennis Center. The Broncos' record drops to 1-3, while the Tigers' record evens to 2-2.
Santa Clara secured its first doubles point of the season by winning two of the three matches. Partners Janalle Kaloi and Sofia Wendt topped Natalia Kostenko and Viktoria Hizo 8-5 on the second court to clinch the point, after the Bronco freshmen duo of Erika Barnes and Kelly Leathers put together an 8-4 win over Tigers Urska Dvorsek and Nicole Sakai.
In singles action, Jessie Strunk put the Broncos ahead 2-0 with her 6-1, 6-3 victory over Sakai. However, the Tigers struck back and recorded victories on courts two and four to even the team score at 2-2. Pacific continued its momentum and clinched the team victory with Katharina Heil's win over Kaloi, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 on court one.
After the match was already decided, Bronco Casey Knutson picked up her first win of the season in a super-tiebreak, besting Dvorsek 3-6, 7-5, (10-3).
"We are making improvements every time out," assistant coach Brett Masi said. "Individually, we can see the progress, despite the score. We just ran into some tough opponents today, as shown in the fact that four of our six singles matches went three sets."
The Broncos remain at home when they host UC Riverside Saturday at 10:30 a.m.

Choruss' Music Tax Plan: Bait-And-Switch
from the ah-the-fine-print dept
Now we're beginning to learn why.
While we discussed, in detail, why any such music tax is problematic, the details coming out make it clear that this is much worse than originally imagined. In fact, it's so bad that it can be described accurately as a bait-and-switch program designed to make people (1) pay lots of money (2) believing they're now free to file share and then find out that (3) file sharing systems will still be sued out of existence and (4) the users themselves, despite paying, will still be liable for massive lawsuits. It's basically a plan to give the record labels tons of money, handed over by universities (so users have no chance to opt-out) without actually changing anything.
After months of silence on what he was working on behind closed doors and in backrooms, Griffin recently gave a prepared speech supposedly revealing some "details" on the plan -- but as IP attorney Bennett Lincoff points out, what Griffin and Choruss are proposing is to pull the wool over universities and the public's eyes. The plan, as we originally pointed out, isn't a license: it's merely a covenant not to sue -- and that leads to all sorts of problems.
First, considering that the RIAA has been cutting back on lawsuits, that's not particularly meaningful. It'll still pushing for 3 strikes policies that will cut users off from the internet, even if they've paid up through Choruss. Furthermore, as was made clear in the speech, the RIAA won't stop trying to shut down file sharing systems. So, people who think this is a good idea because it will let them use The Pirate Bay or Limewire may discover after getting locked into this program that the lawsuits continue and those services keep getting shut down. Next, since it's just a covenant for the labels not to sue, rather than a license, it doesn't cover all of the other rightsholders, such as songwriters and the music publishers -- meaning that those who file share will still be wide open to lawsuits from those parties.
This is quite a scheme that the record labels and Griffin may pull off:
- Convince universities to buy into the program with no input from students. Universities will buy into it because they think they're "helping" deal with the "problem" of file sharing... and to avoid Congress forcing them into such agreements
- Universities pass the cost on to students (of course), so students are forced to pay for this
- Record labels get a big chunk of money for no good reason
- New expensive bureaucracy (Choruss) gets set up to siphon more middleman cash away from musicians
- Record labels don't do anything different, since they already have started moving away from suing individuals (sorta)
- The public thinks that file sharing is now legal
- Record labels continue to sue and shut down favorite file sharing networks, leaving only crappy, limited and expensive "approved" systems
- Individuals who paid up start getting sued by other rightsholders not covered by this agreement and not getting any money from it
Now can you understand why Griffin and Warner Music aren't open to any real conversation and will slam anyone who actually offers to take part in a conversation? A real conversation might bring out these issues, and that's the last thing the record labels want. They want everyone to believe they're working to make file sharing legal, when all they're doing is constructing a massive wealth transfer from people to the labels providing almost no benefit to consumers at all.

22 May, 2012. Geneva, Switzerland - Our increasingly globalized and interconnected world requires Executives and Senior Managers to respond to the demands of stakeholders and to fully grasp and integrate the critical issues raised by the emergence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) into sustainability plans.
The diamond and jewelry industry is currently facing accountability challenges that will present new opportunities if properly addressed.
In the context, UNITAR, through its affiliated International Training Center on Corporate Opportunities (Antwerp-ITCCO), in collaboration with HRD-Antwerp China Association, is organizing a tailored executive seminar for twenty Chinese diamond and jewelry leaders, from 11 to 13 June 2012.
This "CSR & Management Course" aims to develop participants' strategic insights and practical skills that will help them address those emerging challenges efficiently, and increase their organization's competitiveness and resilience.
The participants will therefore also acquire the tools and skills needed to integrate international "Corporate Social Responsibility" guidelines and orientations, such as the Global Compact principles (GCPs), the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 26000 guidance on social responsibility or the new EU strategy on CSR, to develop effective and sustainable CSR policies and implementation strategies.
Participants will be invited to reflect on the value chain of their own organization, the multitude and variety of stakeholders involved as well as the policies and management practices predominating and the milestones and challenges to enhance and further implement the CSR principles and UN Goals.
International experts and practitioners will lead sessions on: "CSR & human resources management"; "Communication and social responsibility"; "UN Global Compact Principles and implementation of CSR in the diamond and jewellery business"; "Sustainability and value creation"; or "Marketing and transparency".
Considering the importance of face to face business meetings, the management course will also provide an opportunity for participants to "Meet & Greet" local diamanteers and jewelers as well. The forty Antwerpians participants to the "Meet & Greet" are selected based on their interest and commitment to CSR. A specific session is being organized on 5 June to raise their awareness and understanding on CSR challenges and opportunities in the context of both theirs and Chinese markets.

Transfer from Paris - Brugge
Cheap transfer service from Paris to Brugge
Talking about Paris can last for hours. The same is about listening. But maybe it`s time already to take action?

Artists are always attempting to fix an image onto a surface. Photography is one of the more permanent techniques of doing so. As opposed to a charcoal drawing, or even an oil painting which would fade with time, photographs are relatively more permanent.
Since the 4th century, in countries like China and Greece, scientific discoveries had been made which allowed artists to fix and retain an image onto a surface.
The camera obscura, (which is Latin for "dark chamber") is said to date back to ancient China. It is a box with a hole in it which allows light to go through. It projects a laterally reversed image, upside down onto a page. But this image was not permanent.
We can say that photography began in the 1820's, because it was then, when scientists and inventors discovered various techniques to retain the image onto the page. All photographs were originally monochrome, or black and white, but in the mid 1800's color photography was explored.
Since then many different techniques have been tried and tested by photographers. In modern times, since 1981 to be precise, digital photography was developed. This moved photography out of the hands of the professionals and into the hands of the consumer. Today, photography technology is so advanced, that anyone can easily capture an image, in all its detail with just the click of a button.

Understanding and navigating the quagmire of rules for the Medicaid program can be mind-numbing.
Understanding and navigating the quagmire of rules for the Medicaid program can be mind-numbing.
Medicaid is the biggest payer of nursing home costs in the country. The very best plan to pay for long-term care costs is adequate long-term care insurance. Unfortunately, very few people have it. While Medicaid is a critical source for those who need long-term care, it can be a whirlwind of stress, anxiety and frustration when families need to apply for Medicaid.
When one spouse needs a nursing home, the spouse at home is allowed to keep the house, a car, about $100,000 in assets and about $2,800 of monthly income. Medicaid will then pay for the expensive but necessary nursing home costs. Nursing home costs in this region average about $11,000 per month.
For married couples whose assets exceed the limits, New York has "spousal refusal," which allows the spouse at home to refuse to contribute the excess assets to the nursing home. Medicaid then pays for the costs of the spouse in the nursing home.
There is a downside to spousal refusal. The county can sue the spouse at home for the expense of caring for the ill spouse. However, Medicaid can only claim for the Medicaid reimbursement rate, considerably lower than private pay rates. Additionally, such lawsuits are usually settled for less than the amount sought.
Recently, in a cost-cutting effort, the governor proposed eliminating spousal refusal. In addition to Connecticut and Florida, New York is only one of three states that offers this protection to married couples. Without spousal refusal, a couple would have to spend down the bulk of their assets before qualifying for Medicaid coverage.
The New York State Department of Health estimates that elimination of spousal refusal might save the state about $100 million annually.
While saving public funds is an obvious need in tight budget times, losing spousal refusal may throw some families into dire financial straits. Divorce may become an option to save assets. It seems perverse that the state would enact any program alterations that would incentivize the dissolution of even the longest-standing marriages.
Due to strong opposition to the governor's proposal, the elimination of spousal refusal was recently defeated.
Next time, however, our seniors may not be so lucky. So, as always, planning ahead for long-term care costs is essential. Plan A is to purchase adequate long-term care insurance. If you don't have or cannot get adequate long-term care insurance, then Plan B is to create a Medicaid asset protection trust (MAPT), which must own assets for five years before they are fully protected from nursing home costs.

I recently dusted off my old xo 1 (I think it's an xo 1, not sure how to tell exactly) and have been trying to update it to the latest build to see what's new. I currently live in a rural area with no internet connection, and it would be great to be able to carry it on a bike to town instead of my regular (heavy) laptop.
After many many hours of trying to do this by myself, I finally give up and politely request help...
I checked my version - it's 656.
I tried updating using the commands sudo olpc-update... etc but it said sudo: command not recognised.
I went into root and tried, but still no luck
I also tried it without the sudo and it said "olpc-update: command not recognised" (I just followed all the official instructions until there were no more to try.)
I tried the offline method using a usb stick, but it didn't work.
Could somebody help? I would really appreciate it.
Another thing I have is that if I open record I get a "your disk is full" message. I deleted everything from the journal, now I have 85% free, but record still says full disk.
I wanted to install xo-get but the instructions on the official page didn't work for me (probably my fault.) I was going to use it to try to uninstall some activities to free up memory. If anyone can help with that problem too, I would really appreciate it.
That's it. Thanks in advance!

IHT's Doreen Carvajal has been covering the legal war adidas is waging to protect its dominion over stripes. In the most recent turn of events, the European high court last week rejected an argument made by top international apparel manufacturers to use logos similar to that of the German giant (i.e., with two stripes instead of three). This two-stripe case began with a lawsuit brought by adidas against four big retailers—Marca Mode, C&A, H&M Hennes & Mauritz, and Vendex—for selling products that had two parallel stripes.

Nancy E. Thomas 2/2/2005 2:16:52 PMJust thought I'd share a little about Sassy: Sassy came to Dorothy through an animal rescue organization about 2 years ago. She had been taken from an apt where she lived confined to a cage, and her life had been limited to its 3'x6' or so confines, probably for at least a couple of years. Her coat was matted, her elbows sore from constantly lying in one position, and besides a favorite toy, her life was little but endlessly pacing, pacing, pacing. So that look of pure joy on her face, romping in the snow, is, as I see it, also is her expression of gratitude for the joy of living returned to her late in life.
-- Dot's sis #1079862
Dorothy Neumann 2/2/2005 3:36:12 PMThanks so much Dan, Pamela, Laurence and a special thanks to Nancy for supplying Sassy's bio. Yes, Sassy had to have a couple of hundred bucks of veterinary treatment before she came to me...ears infected, toenails trimmed, innoculations brought current, and lots of grooming. Fortunately, she is now very healthy, and really enjoys a chance to romp outdoors. If this were a summer shot, she would be plopped in a puddle! And advice to dog lovers everywhere: there are lots of wonderful but neglected dogs awaiting adoption through rescue organizations. #1080051
Jill Flynn 2/2/2005 4:07:10 PMThanks for sharing Sassy's story Nancy and Dorothy. I applaud you for rescuing Sassy. I love to hear stories like this. I too live with 4 rescues. They have enriched my life in every way! #1080088

We're still not sure if the Samsung GT-i9260 is the model number tied to the Galaxy Premiere, Galaxy Nexus II or both, but pictures from the device have started to make their way onto Google's photo sharing service, Picasa, giving us an idea of what kind of photo quality could be included in Samsung's next Nexus device. It may be a little early to judge, but if you were hoping for a top of the line camera you shouldn't get your hopes up.
By searching for i9260 on Picasa right now, you can find three pictures that according to the EXIF data, were taken by what could very well be the Galaxy Nexus II. Faking EXIF data is relatively simple, but there's good reason to believe these photos are the real deal. By doing a simple Google search for the names of the photographers, two out of the three photographers are linked to social media profiles of Samsung employees. Of course this isn't solid proof, but it's good enough for us to take the legitimacy of these photos seriously.
Assuming the EXIF data is real, the GT-i9260 is equipped with an F/2.65 aperture and a 4mm focal length. The Galaxy S III's camera features an aperture of F/2.6 and a focal length of 3.6mm, and the Galaxy S II has an aperture F/2.65 and a focal length of 3.97mm. Because of these numbers, GSM Arena speculates that the camera found in the i9260 may very well be the same camera that was in the Galaxy S II. That would make sense from a cost prospective, if Google and Samsung were looking for keep the device affordable, and does line up well with previous rumors on the i9260. It's rumored to launch with an 8-megapixel camera, the same resolution found in the shooter on the Galaxy S II.
The camera on the Galaxy S II was never terrible, but there are much better options available now. The images supposedly taken from the i9260 speak for themselves. Even if they were accidentally taken, or just a couple quick snapshots, not planned at all, they're merely okay in picture quality at best. The darker the picture, the more noise is present, the brighter the picture, the foggier details appear (especially in the corners). They look like they were taken by a smartphone. Which isn't exactly a compliment.
Since these photos do come from an unfinished device (two of the pictures list the i9260 as running different firmware versions), that isn't shooting at its full resolution, the final results may be better. We'll just have to wait and see.

M-Audio BX5A and BX8A Deluxe Monitors
Recording professionals around the world trust M-Audio Studiophile™ reference monitors for exceptional sonic accuracy. The new Studiophile BX8a and BX5a Deluxe systems build on this legacy with new waveguides and enhanced driver integration for greater high-frequency clarity and refined sound.
The magnetically shielded monitors feature curved Kevlar low-frequency drivers plus high-temperature voice coils and damped rubber surrounds for durability and fidelity. The 1-1/4" natural silk, waveguide-loaded tweeters deliver a high end that's both clear and easy on the ears. Custom-tuned crossovers distribute 130 watts of bi-amplified power for optimal frequency handling by each driver.
The Studiophile BX8a Deluxe and BX5a Deluxe monitors update the best-selling M-Audio BX systems with a variety of enhancements. The new waveguide delivers a cleaner sound. Custom amplifier tuning enhances the integration between the high and low frequencies, delivering refined spectral balance and a smoother response. An elegant new industrial design completes the package.
To insure a lifetime of service, M-Audio constructed the BX8a Deluxe and BX5a Deluxe monitors' low-frequency drivers from woven Kevlar. Kevlar's high mechanical and thermal resilience makes it ideal for use in speaker cones. The M-Audio engineers also created a curved conical design that improves room dispersion. High-damping reliable rubber surrounds provide percussive musical bass, and insure that the cone reaches its optimal excursion for accurate reproduction. And high-temperature voice coils reduce power compression, guaranteeing that your monitors will deliver full performance hour after hour.
Silk-dome, waveguide-loaded, high-frequency drivers
Their high-frequency domes are made from natural silk to counter the high Q ringing that is inherent in the poorly crafted metallic materials often found in other monitors. In addition, new waveguides refine the high-frequency response. M-Audio's FerroFlow technology uses ferrofluid liquid cooling to dissipate heat for maximum efficiency and extended usage.
Bi-amplified efficiency
Active monitors have a distinct advantage over unpowered monitors because the built-in power amps are specially designed to work with the drivers and crossovers in a tuned system. Bi-amplification further refines the concept by dedicating separate power amps to the highs and lows. Combined with a finely tuned crossover, this design insures that both the high- and low-frequency drivers are asked to deliver only the frequencies they are most efficient at reproducing.
Rear-ported cabinet design
The Studiophile Deluxe monitors cabinet is integrally designed with its other components for optimal performance—right down to rounded corners for reduced edge diffraction and superior imaging. Custom rear-port design audibly reduces the turbulence and resulting distortion caused by poorly designed ports.
Magnetic shielding
Unchecked, the electromagnetic waves emanating from your speakers can wreak havoc with your computer's video monitor or a nearby TV. The BX Deluxe monitors are magnetically shielded so that all of your electronic equipment can coexist without interference.
Both pairs retail at Dolphin for under £300, making them exceptional value for money and great choices if you're looking for new studio monitors.

Really didn't know where to put this one as I guess I'm asking two things, one for opinions on my potential actions and the other for help in how I would go about it;
First, the opinions. I have lived in my town, relatively small, for all my life (I am 22), I have moved out of my parents home then back in when my father offered me a deal I couldn't refuse with regards to my savings. I have a good job, a really good job for someone informally educated (only by experience), and now find myself in a position where I can purchase a home, I love my friends but am single and will probably remain so, I've self-analysed and come to the conclusion that with regards to relationships I don't know what I want, or rather, I don't believe I can achieve what I want for numerous reasons I shant bore you with now. I've been thinking a long while that I would like to pursue my current career and once I reach the glass ceiling in my hometown, move to a bigger place at the same level with the experience under my belt and hammer on it there. I have however, discovered that my not having a degree means that my workplace will not be considering me for the promotion I had previously been told they were, and that the best I could get would be a small pay increase for doing a role underneath whoever they bring in to do the role I had been trained for. This I understand, it's out of my management's hand, as it's a corporate decision (a relatively new one) to restrict higher placements to degree-holders across the board. I'm now thinking I need to get away soon, I love my friends but I find myself being distant to them, I have a complicated relationship with my family and I feel the space would benefit our relationships, as it did for my siblings, I have come to disrespect my town and treat it too much like I know everybody, and I would feel more comfortable in a place I felt less comfortable (Had to have at least one paradox). I understand that part of me is unhappy in of myself, and that running away from a place will not equate to running away from myself, however I personally feel that it would be a step in the right direction. If you disagree with this as an idea or premise in of itself, please do tell me, I'd be interested to hear any alternate ideas (beyond the platitudes that suggest self-help, if i had not attempted and failed that at least thrice I would not be considering leaving a comfortable job and a town with good friends).
Secondly, for the "nitty gritty" I've hit an impasse when it comes to how to move away, I think it's safe to say I wouldn't consider doing so without a job waiting for me, I've found a few potential roles that aren't taking too much, or any of a hit to my salary, my problem is how do i communicate to them that I am willing and able to move house, knowing that it could take a while for someone to have a property available for me, would i have to rent initially in order to be flexible as to a start time? (This is the last option on my mind, as it would take a chunk out of my deposit) I dont currently own a car and ideally wouldn't need to, although I can drive, do i tell them all this in the application or only once (and if!) I get an interview? Moreover, I am concerned at the prospect of arriving at a new job and being let go within a few months with a mortgage to pay, but then i suppose that's a risk I'll have to accept. What I'd like is some clarity on how much information i should supply to a potential employer when I am considering this, I mean I cant be the only person to have done it, but I would imagine it's pretty rare to have someone whose A) unqualified, B) able to purchase a home rather than rent and C) looking for a home in another town/city.
Lastly, although I suppose it should've come earlier, I am curious as to whether what I want is actually at all possible. I know how much I can borrow with my current deposit and income, but would me changing jobs affect that at all? For instance, while I know and have taken into account how a drop in income would affect my mortgage, would the fact I had only started a new job and/or handed in my notice with a job offer in tow and was still in the "parole" period mean that lenders would find me undesirable, thereby eliminating my chances of purchasing v. renting? At worst, I suppose I could deal with waiting five years into a mortgage in my hometown then look for jobs elsewhere, but at the moment it feels like that'd be waiting five years for my life to start, and I'd get more and more depressed at being stuck in a place I know and resent.
I have a friend, whose 27, coincidentally the same age as I would be after those five years, who spends his every night drinking a bottle or two of wine, sometimes a whole box, spends his days at work (I used to work with him, so I know) avoiding all human contact and conversation, waiting for when he can go home and drink alone again, I rarely see him any more, because he prefers to drink alone, he hates this town, he resents his family trying to involve themselves in his life (although there's no denying he loves them too) and his friends, while good friends, are mainly friends of convenience and comfort. I am genuinely concerned that in 5 years I will end up like him, what concerns me more is I once loved him, a few years ago, and he told me he no longer found himself capable of loving anyone, he just wanted to be left alone, and already I am noticing this in myself, where I was always a highly social individual, I find myself sick to the teeth of seeing the same people all the time, too nervous of my late-night activities of the not-so-distant past to attempt at meeting new people, and much happier confined to late nights with a book, a film, a bottle of wine, or my laptop, than I am with the people I care about.
This turned into much more of a ramble than I originally intended, so I apologize for that, although I've kept it in simply because I suppose it's as good a method to air my hidden feelings than any other.

Analysis of 2007 Power of Five Trade Show and Expo
An analysis of the Power of Five trade show and expo held last May 5-9 in Chicago, including the Organic Trade Assn.'s "All Things Organic" component.
The Organic Trade Assn.'s "All Things Organic" component of May's Power of Five show is one of two components of that former extravaganza slated to stay put in Chicago. For 2008, the show will move from the basement to the main floor in the usual McCormick Conference Center venue. That's good, because in the past few years, the gravity that is the organic trend has been drawing increasingly larger crowds down to the basement for that segment of what had become the largest food processing show in the country.
While the Food Marketing Institute show (FMI), the National Assn. of the Specialty Food Trade ("Fancy Food Show"), the U.S. Food Export Showcase and the United Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Assn. ("United Produce Expo and Conference") shows were respectable if not shoulder-to-shoulder, ATO saw consistent crowds. "This is a terrific show," exclaimed Kent Spalding, Director of Marketing for Barbara's Bakery Inc. (www.barbarasbakery.com), Petaluma, Calif. It brings together such a wide range of folks it's fun to be a part of the community. Regardless if you wear a suit, wear Birkenstocks or are somewhere in-between, it is a great place to build relationships, see old friends and develop new ideas -- it's exciting. Where else can you get that?" Spalding, who encompasses the perfect blend of hippie and "suit" himself, was at the show to announce Barbara's Bakery new 100 Calorie portion control organic cookies.
Speaking of ready-to-eat bakery and breakfast food manufacturers, one of the biggest showings at ATO was the Nature's Path Organic Foods Inc. (www.naturespath.com) megabooth. The Vancouver, B.C.-based company has been in overdrive with new offerings, as well as new initiatives in healthy foods and nutrition as well as environmental causes. How many of us have promised that, when we hit the lottery, we'll devote a portion of our success to altruistic causes? Nature's Path is doing just that. The company is teaming up with a number of school districts, including Chicago Public Schools, Princeton University and Harvard University to provide more healthy snack fare to students.
On the environmental side, Nature's Path is making one interesting change and one very clever and hopefully infectious change. The interesting one is the company switching to recyclable plastic packaging for its 2 lb. cold cereal "eco pacs" -- yet not a biodegradable, corn-based plastic. Explaining the conundrum, Director of Marketing Maria Emmer-Aanes says the company's rigid policy of refusing to use genetically modified crops meant they can't use the corn plastic. They're hope is that folks who buy their products in the recyclable bags will indeed recycle them.
The other change in packaging is Nature's Path's "Envirobox" initiative, in which the company switched to cardboard packaging for its ready-to-eat cereals that is 10 percent smaller. Begun in just a few SKUs a couple of years ago, the company is ramping up to more than 50 different items next month. The amount of cereal is the same; the company is merely -- ingeniously -- taking advantage of the fact that "some settling may occur during shipping and handling." According to Emmer-Aanes and Arran Stephens, company founder and president, this move will save 144 tons of paperboard, nearly 1 million KwH of energy, more than 1.3 million gallons of water and remove 400 tractor trailers from highways each year.
Perhaps the move to smaller packaging by Nature's Path will also clear a little shelf space for the company's flood of new products. Few food manufacturers launch new items at the rate Nature's Path has been doing so. At the ATO show, the company featured an entire line of products using hemp seed.
"This year's hemp product line growth has been in the double-digit category. I believe there are two major reasons for this: Last growing season, hemp farming legislation was passed allowing it to be legally grown hemp in the U.S. for the first time since the 1940s. Consumers are rightfully concerned about global warming and they're looking for ways they can become more sustainable. Organizations like Vote Hemp are educating consumers how this wonderful ingredient is also rare in that the entire plant is used when harvested. Whole, healthy and sustainable on every front...what more could you ask for?"
Hemp, which was banned in the U.S. for about 70 years because of its relation to marijuana, is a permitted crop in Canada, the company's home. Hemp is rich in protein and omega 3s and protein. Without the THC that gives marijuana its psychoactive properties, it makes a great functional ingredient (see "Nutrition Beyond the Trends: Don't Bogart That Hummus").
Hemp has been trying to become a breakout ingredient for years but has been held back by its legal troubles plus its tendency toward creating a bitter aftertaste in products. However, in the hot and cold cereal formulations from Nature's Path it is barely noticeable. Hemp could end up the next goji berry (which is fast becoming the next açai -- scores of goji products, including a few from Nature's Path, were on display at the show).
Aloe is another trend pushing to come in from the fringe. Thirty years go the cactus juice was touted as a panacea for a number of ills, and imbibed by the gallon by the hardest core of the patchouli set. But the texture and flavor of the stuff was just too hard to circumvent.
Several beverage makers at ATO, however, took the plunge and released aloe drinks in several flavors. Unfortunately, they're compensating for the negatives by making it overwhelmingly sweet. My vote for the winning beverage goes instead to the organic, agave-sweetened brown rice and cherry soda from The Organic Food Chef (www.theorganicfoodchef.com), Woodland Hills, Calif. The unique beverages actually contain enough whole grain -- 8 g -- per serving to qualify for the Whole Grains Council (www.wholegrainscouncil.org) stamp -- one of the first and only beverages to do so. Sounds strange, but an open mind is rewarded with a refreshing beverage here.

I saw their discussion as being very pro-legal responsibility, and pro-respect for other road-users. I don't regard this as being either pro-cycling or pro-motorist. In the topic of the discussion they were looking at cyclists' treatment on the roads, so this of course focused on legal obligations and "rights" of cyclists.
yep. agree wit that

Birds' Bats Quiet In Loss To Winnipeg
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- Sioux Falls Canaries starter Kyle Ruwe turned in a complete-game on Monday night, but the offense couldn't provide him with enough support as the Birds fell 5-1 to the Winnipeg Goldeyes.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the first-place Goldeyes (11-6), who extended their North Division lead to 5 ½ games ahead of the Canaries (6-12).
The Birds had plenty of chances to break through against Winnipeg starter Justin Garcia (3-0), putting the leadoff man on in five innings, but their offense was unable to take advantage. Garcia failed to retire two consecutive men only once in his 7 1/3 innings pitched when he allowed back-to-back singles in the second inning. The only run he allowed was unearned on Jake Taylor's sacrifice fly in the third.
Canaries starter Ruwe (2-2) suffered the tough-luck, complete game loss, allowing five runs on nine hits, but he held Winnipeg to two runs on six hits through 7 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out none.
Winnipeg broke the scoreless tie in the top of the second inning. Leonard Davis walked, and Casey Haerther's single to right field was misplayed by Steve Domecus, allowing Davis to score and Haerther to reach second. Luis Alen knocked Hearther in with an RBI single, and it was 2-0 Goldeyes.
Sioux Falls answered with a run in the bottom of the third with Taylor's sacrifice fly, cutting the lead to 2-1 Winnipeg.
Ruwe and Garcia settled in at that point, keeping both offenses at bay until the eighth, when the Goldeyes added to their lead on Haerther's solo home run in the eighth. Winnipeg also tacked on two runs in the ninth on a Nate Samson RBI triple and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Fehlandt Lentini.
Haerther and Alen carried the offensive load for the Fish. Haerther went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored, while Alen had a two-hit day with an RBI and a run scored.
John Alonso and Van Stratten each had two hits for Sioux Falls. Alonso snapped a string of three consecutive games with a home run, but he extended a hitting streak to eight games.
Game two of the four-game series is 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday at the Birdcage.

Which new features do you want the most?
I love how we can search for a tea by type, but how about adding more categories for a characteristic we're looking for in that tea? Sweet, savory, buttery, sour, tart, bitter, umami, and dessert? …maybe this is where we could also find the decaf category. Also, since chai has its own category, can matcha and instant have their own categories as well? And maybe bagged and loose can be categories as well.
Right now the number by "notices" doesn't go away right way when we click on it… I clicked on it 5 times and there are no new notices but the number still says three. Please make it so the number changes promptly. I'd like to see it go down by one ever time we click on one of the notices. On a related note, I hate how when we click on one new notice they all go back to being normal font from being bold. This is especially annoying when we check our notices for the 1st time in a while. Just as the number should change as view them one by one, please have only read notices be shown in normal font and unread notices in bold.
What about a MARK ALL AS READ button for the discussions!?
Yes, please, that would be useful! I'm not interested in all discussions and some (like the Black Friday one for example) aren't relevant to me at all, but I click them quickly and then go back just so they're not blue.
Or an X button so we could ignore threads we weren't interested in.
I would really like the ability to search for people by similarity of tea tastes. If I tend to rate Ceylon black teas highly (or even primarily drink them), it would be cool to find others who also do. Picking people at random isn't particularly helpful for recommendations unless they are very descriptive in their reviews.
Apologies if it's been said; I haven't read every post in this thread.
The ability to give different aspects of tea (raw leaf smell, liquor, aroma, taste, and number of steepings possible) different ranks.
Now that I've been on the new format a few days and figured things out, a new feature I'd like to see is a Comments tab on my Dashboard, for comments those I Follow make on Tealogs. I have been having to scroll through the past day or two of Tasting Notes in my Dashboard to check for new comments on Tealogs.
Sorry if this has been covered already, but surely I am not the only one who cooks with tea? A cookbook sector being a forum, or a place to put in recipes like you can put in teas, or anything really to share your culinary side of tea would be nice.
Also…what about a Personal Company Count like they do for the teas in Cupboard, Teas on Shopping List, Teas Logged, etc??? I'd LOVE to see the number of companies I have logged (for variety reasons) but then again, I'm a nerd when comes to this stuff! LOL
Dear SteepsterGods! Please make a edit botton on comments?
Normally I can correct myself when I very eskimooly forget to doublecheck my spelling. But not on the comments! – thanks for the new dashboard by the way <3
LOVE the new updates- especially the extra emails. But one says "email me when someone sends me a PM"- how do I view my own PMs or send them to others?
Also, it'd be nice to get all updates by email and have the ability to completely disable the dashboard. Since "so-and-so replied to so-and-so topic" doesn't take you to the specific comment, that feature is pretty useless. I end up spending too much time fishing for it. I love reading my updates in my email so I don't need to see them over again. Some "notices" and "recent activity" are duplicates already anyway.

See 100 of the Most Popular Movie Quotes of All Time Reimagined in a Very Cool, Very Geeky Way
If you're nerdy enough to love both classic movie lines and scientific charts, then this is the best thing you're likely to see all day.
Web blog Flowing Data came up with the idea of taking the AFI's top 100 movie quotes of all time and reenvisioning them in geeky-chart form. After several years of labor, the project is finally complete. Unforgettable lines from films like Gone with the Wind, Jaws, E.T. and more have been turned into charts and graphs with often amusing results.
The best part of this is that each of the 100 charts is basically like a little brainteaser. Some of them are easy to figure out even if you aren't familiar with the film, while others actually take a second or two before it clicks. You might even feel smarter after unraveling some of these riddles.
Check out a full-sized version of the chart here, or you can click on the image below. Prepare to spend some time laughing over the clever and nerdy recreations of some of cinema's most unforgettable moments.

The state's new tag and tax combined program is supposed to save North Carolina counties money. Davidson County officials say the program's initial impact could cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The state's new tag and tax combined program is supposed to save North Carolina counties money. Davidson County officials say the program's initial impact could cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars.
House Bill 1779, initially approved in 2005, called for local N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles offices to collect property taxes when citizens renew their license plate tags. The measure was set to go into affect in 2008, then 2010, and is now expected to become active later this year.
Motor vehicle property taxes were previously collected by Davidson County government, which will still be responsible for pricing motor vehicle taxes.
However, as part of the new program, Davidson County will also be responsible for paying processing fees as well as transaction fees for patrons who use debit or credit cards to pay their bill. Those costs could top $300,000, said Joe Silver, Davidson County's tax administrator.
"Overall, percentage wise, we'll probably collect more after it's in place," Silver said. "But initially, I think it's going to have an impact on us."
Under the current method of billing and collecting, if a taxpayer uses a debit or credit card, those fees to use that card go against the taxpayer, Silver said.
Because the new program will require citizens to pay tag and property tax fees at the same time, most citizens' bills should be larger. Silver thinks that will lead to more people using debit or credit cards for payment.
"The majority of people are going to go down there with $30 in cash," Silver said. "Most of them are going to use a credit card. I feel there will be more people using debit and credit cards, of which we are going to pay the fees."
Becky Klass, owner and operator of the Department of Motor Vehicles License Plate Agency in Lexington, said new debit machines were recently installed in preparation for the program launch.
Klass said her employees will start collecting property taxes on new titles and dealer work in July. Workers will begin collecting taxes for all tag requests after Sept. 1, she said.
"It's just going to be additional work on us to collect the taxes," Klass said. "It's all going to be due at the same time, and that's going to be hard on people having to do the inspection, the renewal and having to pay the taxes all at one time. It's going to be easier on them as well to go to one place to do it all."
Klass said it will probably take about a year to enter county residents in the new system.
"I hope the public will work with us as it gets cleared up," Klass said.
Citizens can continue to pay and renew their registration online or through the mail, in addition to local license plate agencies.

Who is the Public? Research in Identity in Museums, a talk by John Falk, Oregon State University, 18 May 2010.
Attended a talk by John Falk about identity today and here's my notes.
John also inspired me to revisit the sections of my thesis that look at identity and have written three more blog posts:
Forgot to mention this post about categorising visitors that relates to what Falk is talking about.
After my day visiting museums in Washington DC I'd like to add another category to Falk's: Hot, tired, cranky person - when you are overdressed, can't find the entrance and spend most of your time in the museum confused and cross coz you can't find your way around...

Assigned to the Mental Health Crisis Bed (MHCB) unit, I found 80-plus patients suffering torture, sexual abuse and neglect. President Obama would recognize it as torture. The vast majority of victims were Black or Hispanic, all the abusers White. Cold, dark cells hold captives in isolated sensory deprivation – drugged, sick and in pain. Nurses prevented death only to prolong torment, sometimes for years. The number of patients suffering preventable deaths during "medical treatment" in CDCR facilities may exceed all legal executions nationwide.

HTC One X – overview
The HTC One X packs in an impressive 1.5Ghz Tegra 3 quad-core processor, matching and nullifying the Huawei Ascend D Quad's world's fastest smartphone title. Its 4.7in 720p HD screen is a joy to behold in the flesh, with bright vivid colours making the HTC Sense 4-skinned Ice Cream Sandwich OS look very inviting indeed.
HTC One X – design and build
The HTC One X's 9.3mm thin polycarbonate unibody puts us in mind of the Nokia Lumia 800 in that it feels solid and sturdy as well as having a minimalistic white design that even the Apple faithful would pine for.
The HTC One X's high-gloss sides meld in to a soft-touch back that's pleasant to hold and HTC's commitment to detail is nicely symbolised in the precise micro-drilled speaker holes on its rear.
HTC One X – camera
HTC has made a huge commitment to camera quality in all of its One series handsets and the HTC One X's 8MP snapper held up to the hype, with a fast boot and quick-shooting photos that were more than acceptable given the lighting conditions. It was nice to see the video and camera shutter buttons side by side and the picture-in-video function worked without a hitch.
HTC One X – first impressions
The HTC One X is an extremely well designed smartphone that we honestly didn't want to put down. From its vibrant large gorilla glass screen (which is curved to avoid face-down contact), solid build quality, and super-fast camera, HTC has created a powerful iPhone rival that looks to have earned its flagship status. Stay tuned for a full review courtesy of the gadget experts here at Stuff.
