In July, Atlanta became the latest city to ban smoking in public parks, with frightening fines—up to $1,000—for offenders. But keeping butts off green spaces came too late to help Atlanta's ranking as the No. 5 dirtiest city in America.
As part of the annual America's Favorite Cities survey, Travel + Leisure readers ranked 35 metropolitan areas on the features most enticing to travelers, such as the vibrant culture, cutting-edge dining, and great shopping—as well as how safe, and tidy, a city feels. And Atlanta moved up a full four spots in the ranking of dirtiest cities from the previous year's survey. Hopefully the smoking ban will help reverse the trend.
The cities that scraped the bottom of the cleanliness category may show signs of grit, grime, or muck, but they all have some basic features in common: they're big, and most have a bustling nightlife. Partiers tend to be on the younger side—and that may add to the disarray. "Studies have consistently found that youths and young adults are the most prone, or willing, to litter," says Steve Spacek, author of the "American State Litter Scorecard," which has highlighted the less-than-pristine conditions in such top 20 cities as New Orleans, Chicago, and Las Vegas.
To be fair, though, plenty of "dirty" cities are working hard to mitigate the squalor. Boston recently installed 400 solar-powered trash compactors on city sidewalks to keep cans from overflowing. In Las Vegas, a new city ordinance decrees that those guys handing out adult "advertisements" on the Strip sidewalks now have to pick up dropped flyers every 15 minutes.
Plenty of people, meanwhile, are willing to accept a little dirt in exchange for a great city. "New Orleans is a living, breathing antique," says Cindy Denney, a talent manager in the Crescent City, which went from No. 1 to No. 2 this year. "What makes it great is also what makes it funky—old wood, mismatched bricks, and peeling paint, from daily heat and moisture. We pay more attention to cuisine, music, and football than we do dirt."

6 Benefits of a Beauty Salon
In decades past, hair salon services were mainly reserved for women, since they are typically more concerned about their appearance than men. Nowadays however, even men have become increasingly conscious about their personal grooming, thus such services also apply to men. There are different types of hair salon services, which are normally offered on the basis of individual preferences. Further, these services have increased over the years, such that most salons have become a one-stop shop for all forms of beauty care. In this article, different types of hair salon services have been discussed in detail.
The main services offered in hair salons are hair styling and coloring. Good hair styles can greatly enhance a persons entire look, thus most salons have hair stylists specifically for this purpose. There is a wide range of hair styles to choose from, which normally depend on various factors such as the shape of one's face and hair length. It is therefore not just a matter of styling hair, but salon professionals also ensure that such styles are unique to each person. There are various aspects of hair styling such as braiding, relaxing or hair extensions. In the same way, coloring services are offered based on their suitability to specific people.
The services offered by salons are not restricted to their individual clients. Salons also offer some of their services such as hair styling and make-up services during events such as weddings. Most salons have wedding packages, whereby make up services, hair styling and coloring is undertaken by one salon, in accordance with the overall theme of the wedding. With all the types of hair salon services available, it should not be too difficult to adopt and maintain a look that brings out the best in a person.

Youth Programs May Be Cut

Original Title:
Youth Recreation Programs on Chopping Block in Tuolumne County
Youth centers serving young people in a number of Tuolumne County towns could be eliminated as county supervisors enact budget cuts.
Expected to be shuttered by the end of summer are the Tuolumne Youth Center, youth centers in Jamestown and Groveland, and mobile youth centers that serve Columbia, Chinese Camp, Twain Harte, Don Pedro and Crystal Falls. Center operators say the programs combined serve between 1,100 and 1,250 kids.
Teenagers at the Jamestown facility are disappointed they may soon have no place to go. Besides having games at their disposal, kids could get homework help. "Before I came to the youth center I got an F in math and I raised it up to a C when I came here." said Andrew Buster.
Center director Erin Begley said there are other services the youth programs provide. "We're doing some health programs. Get up. Get active. Eat right. And we plug in teen pregnancy prevention."
Tuolumne County supervisors are looking at cutting 40 percent or $400,000 from the county's recreation budget. That's just part of cuts supervisors must make. Voters rejected a half-cent sales tax increase, Measure P, earlier this month that would have collected $3 million for sheriff deputies, police and firefighters. The county must now pay for those public safety services and is cutting all county departments by an average of more than 10 percent to do so, including eliminating some staff positions.
Some parents do not see where reducing or eliminating youth programs is going to help in the long run. Gay Spencer sees more kids with nothing to do just getting into trouble. "They write graffiti on the walls. They break the windows in the classrooms and it will just give them more time to do this," she says.
Supervisors will make final budget cuts by mid-August.

It looks like the Seahawks will have wide receiver Sidney Rice in the lineup when they take on the Bills in Toronto this Sunday.
Rice was in a walking boot earlier this week and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday because of a bruised foot he suffered in last week's 58-0 romp over the Cardinals. but he was able to be a full participant in practice on Friday. That earned him a probable listing and an expected role as a target for Russell Wilson as the Seahawks try to keep the heat on the 49ers ahead of next weekend's game.
Rice leads Seahawks receivers with 45 catches and 658 yards this season and he's tied with Golden Tate for the lead in touchdowns with seven.
The Seahawks will be short in the secondary, though. Walter Thurmond has been ruled out of the game with a hamstring injury. Thurmond was expected to start in place of the suspended and the Seahawks will also be playing without cornerback Marcus Trufant. That means expanded roles for Byron Maxwell and Jeremy Lane on Sunday.
We'll see if the Bills can take advantage of those absences, although it bears mentioning that they are looking for a quarterback and a wide receiver for a reason.

Herald Chronicle Staff
OSAGE CITY—A Montana man known simply as Lee the Horse Logger, his five horses and two trailers, made their way through Osage County over the weekend, stopping in Osage City, Scranton and Carbondale.
Lee and his horses have been on the road six years, traveling across the country to perform logging jobs the old fashioned way. His next job is in Illinois, which will take more than three weeks to reach, followed by one in Massachusetts. This is his third trip across the country.
The team stopped in Osage City Thursday night and Scranton Friday evening. Lee spent several days at the intersection of Topeka Boulevard and Main Street in Carbondale, due to a bad back.
Lee and his team have done logging around Montana, Boston, Denver, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Denver and Oklahoma City.
Lee has spent his life in Montana, never having electricity or running water. He is 51 years old and loves his way of life.
The team travels about 100 miles per week, at a cost of about $65 per day, to feed and keep his horses fed. He received several donations from locals to help with feeding the horses. He accepted a breakfast invitation to a local restaurant, one of only a few times he leaves his team. Lee said he has never been away from his horses for more than 12 hours in the past six years.
Lee asks people to follow three rules as they see him on the road – don't run him over, give him a little room, and pull ahead of him to take pictures.
"Occasionally, one gets too close to my team and about runs us off the road," he said.

Video aggregator and pivot-friendly startup Chill is now hinging on the DRM-free, direct-to-fans distribution model for content that is continuing to gain popularity. Starting today, Chill will start selling video content directly from content creators, and the offer isn't just restricted to established artists. Chill invites any content creator to its "Chill Direct" program.
Because this system gives creators control over content rights, they can sell HD streams directly to fans while retaining full ownership of their content. To stir the pot in a way that Kickstarter made popular, artists can throw in extra goodies for fans called "Bundles" to sell along with the video. This can include anything, like T-shirts, bonus footage, signed merch, Skype performances, or any other items. Artists can set their own prices for these additional items.
For acting as the middleman, Chill takes a 30 percent cut from all revenue earned. That figure seems to be common across platforms and influenced by what Apple earns from selling its apps. The company is ushering in the new platform with eight shows including "The New Kind: The Ordinary World" from Peter Hyoguchi, a documentary about YouTubers called "Please Subscribe," and comedienne Maria Bamford's "The special special special!"
Newbusiness models are cropping up to offer additional ways for artists to profit from distributing content. Chill's Direct is one avenue, while Vimeo's new indie movie rental program, paywall, and rather unconventional "Tip Jar" are among the others.
Traditionally, YouTube has been the de facto platform that content creators have been turning to, but revenue is entirely supported by advertising dollars. At the same time, content ownership on YouTube hasn't been clear cut. The video platform has taken measures to aid creators by adding its Content ID system, which identifies copyrighted videos, but too many times YouTube has misidentified content – not to mention that it's rather simple for other users to steal and repurpose content. Still, YouTube itself is the second largest search engine after parent company Google, so the chances of content discovery on YouTube are greater than on any other platform out there.
Chill still uses a Pinterest style video curation platform, although we're sure content involved with Direct will get better placement here. There's evidence of this already with Maria Bamfod's comedy special featured prominently at the top of the front page.
Even with all these new DRM-free distribution methods that cut out the middlemen, it's up to the artists to attract a crowd that's willing to pay for their content. Typically the platforms hosting all this are responsible for the promotion, marketing, licensing, and other business aspects that an artist doesn't want to have to worry about – but that means losing ownership of your own work. Now there are increasing options for turning to a platform for hosting and allowing your work to speak for itself without having to fork over all the rights.
More specifically, this marks a fairly notable pivot for Chill, which began as a social sharing and aggregated video service and has quickly spun itself into a far more diverse product. Vimeo and YouTube remain kings of this space, however, and how well Chill can challenge them remains to be seen.

A $214 million bioterror germ lab at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta has had repeated problems with airflow systems designed to help prevent the release of infectious agents, government documents and internal e-mails show.
A $214 million bioterror germ lab at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta has had repeated problems with airflow systems designed to help prevent the release of infectious agents, government documents and internal e-mails show.
While the agency says no one has been infected, a biosafety expert says the problems appear to be major violations of laboratory operating standards.
The area of the building with problems involves Biosafety Level 3 labs that can be used for experiments involving anthrax, dangerous strains of influenza, the SARS coronavirus, monkeypox and other microbes that have the potential to be used as bioweapons.
In February, air from inside a potentially contaminated lab briefly blew outward into a "clean" corridor where a group of visitors weren't wearing any protective gear which raised concern about exposure risks, according to e-mails reporting and discussing what happened. Research animals in the lab had not yet been infected at the time of the incident, the records say.
CDC engineers have raised written concerns about the air containment systems since at least 2010. At that time, scientists working with poxviruses, such as monkeypox, expressed concerns about airflow and said they "don't want to go into that facility because they don't feel comfortable with the way it is currently designed," according to minutes from a February 2010 meeting to discuss reversing the way air flowed through the labs and animal-holding areas.
According to the minutes, CDC safety manager William Howard said: "Bottom line is we can't continue to operate the building the way it is ? if (a bioterror lab inspector) finds out air is moving this direction they will shut this place down."
The CDC refused to grant interviews or answer any questions submitted in writing about the problems inside the high-containment labs and animal-holding area of the agency's 11-story Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory, also known as CDC Building 18.
In a statement, the CDC said there have been no releases of germs and no one has been injured. Experiments in the building's high-containment labs are "done in an environment with highly skilled staff, technical equipment, and safety systems that unfortunately, at times, experience challenges. Fortunately, this unique facility has multiple systems in place that provide appropriate redundancy, so when there is an incident, the public's safety, as well as worker safety, is not compromised." The agency said it always takes "appropriate steps" to address incidents when they occur, but provided no details.
BSL-3 labs are required under federal safety guidelines to have "sustained directional airflow by drawing air into the laboratory from 'clean' areas toward 'potentially contaminated' areas."
The airflow system is designed to protect against the release of microbes, especially those that have the potential to become airborne and infect workers who could spread disease in the community.
The CDC is responsible for inspecting its own labs, as part of a federal program where it also oversees labs nationwide that work with germs or toxins that could potentially be used as bioweapons.
Rutgers University biosafety expert Richard Ebright said excerpts of CDC documents provided to him by USA TODAY "raise serious concerns. There appear to be significant irregularities." The problems seem to be the type that CDC's inspectors "would flag as major violations in inspections of non-CDC facilities," Ebright said.
The same lab building, which opened in 2005 and was touted by the agency as the world's most advanced laboratory, made news in 2007 when backup generators didn't work to keep airflow systems working during a power outage, then again in 2008 for a high-containment lab door that was being sealed with duct tape. The duct tape was applied after a 2007 incident where a ventilation system malfunctioned and pulled potentially contaminated air out of the lab and into a "clean" hallway; nine CDC workers were tested for potential exposure to Q fever bacteria. None were infected.
Most CDC staff quoted in the documents obtained by USA TODAY referred questions to the agency's press office or did not respond to requests for interviews.
Anthony Sanchez, the building's high-containment lab manager, in a brief interview said that although no building is perfect, "the scientists are happy with the facility ? It is safe, and we have highly professional persons working in there, and they don't have anything to worry about."
Sanchez added: "I think the American public has gotten its money worth, and more."
The records show that other CDC staff have expressed safety concerns.
The CDC "will do anything ? to hide the fact that we have serious problems with the airflow and containment in this whole building," wrote CDC animal resources biologist Kismet Scarborough in an April 9 e-mail to several agency officials, including CDC Director Thomas Frieden. Scarborough's CDC voice-mail greeting describes her position as a high-containment lab manager for the agency's Animal Resources Branch.
Scarborough, e-mails indicate, was a witness to the Feb. 16 incident.
where air blew out of a potentially contaminated BSL-3 lab into a "clean"
Another witness was Eddie Jackson, a biologist and inspector with CDC's Division of Select Agents and Toxins - the arm of CDC that is responsible for inspecting U.S. labs that work with bioterror germs. Jackson e-mailed a top CDC safety official the day the incident happened. Jackson described how he was part of an escorted group standing outside the door of a lab when an animal technician inside opened an interior door to an animal room. "As the door closed a very noticeable puff of air could be felt coming through the slit in the window out into the 'clean' corridor."
Jackson noted in his e-mail that Scarborough told him the room didn't house infected animals at the moment, but there is a room with infected animals on the same corridor. He asked whether there is any risk of exposure for people walking down the hallway without respiratory protection. "Don't know whether this was a fluke or the norm, and the reason I'm commenting is one of the visitors seemed concerned and has been talking about it since we've come back," Jackson wrote.
It is unknown what answer Jackson received to his question. According to Scarborough's April 9 e-mail, CDC safety officials dismissed concerns about the incident saying "it doesn't matter if the dirty BSL 3 lab blows positive into the clean corridor as long as it is not sustained."
Scarborough called this a "totally ridiculous response" and wrote that she is "horrified and dismayed at the events surrounding safety and the fact that even though this has been taken clear up the chain of command all the way to Dr. Frieden, no one is willing to admit the mistake or more importantly fix it."
The mistake Scarborough appears to reference is a decision CDC implemented around late 2010 to re-engineer the air movement within these labs and nearby animal-holding areas. CDC engineers warned in early 2010 that reversing the airflow in this area could have "unintended consequences,"
including back-washing dirty air into clean areas when doors are opened and closed.
According to presentation slides for a February 2010 meeting about reversing the airflow in the lab and animal areas, CDC engineers Karen Moss and Tom Blanchard wrote that with the proposed changes "the potential exists to create large airflow disturbances, vortices and flow mixing between corridor and rooms will result, rooms may become same pressure as dirty corridor." If the airflow is going to be reversed, they wrote, anterooms - with negative air pressure - would need to be built to preserve airflow integrity.
The records indicate that CDC never built the anterooms, in part because of concerns about cost and time delays, and because some safety officials questioned whether they were necessary.
In a February 2010 e-mail, Blanchard proposed sending a bluntly worded memo to the agency's safety office warning that reversing the airflows in the lab area "represents an extreme departure from the existing design and operation" and that the change will result in "no safeguards against flow disturbances." It noted that there was not universal acceptance of "such a radical change" by those involved in the building, including animal staff and researchers working with tuberculosis.
After the air was reversed, air pressure problems developed in some areas resulting in fire code violations. Under certain circumstances, the pressure needed to open doors that scientists and other workers would need to escape through in an emergency is more than three times what the fire code allows, according to a contractor's report from December 2010 and an e-mail from Moss in January 2011.
The report noted: "Also, on some doors the excessive negative pressure prevented the release of the electronic security latch as commanded by the card reader; it was necessary to push/pull the door inward/outward before turning the handle and opening the door." CDC assumed responsibility for reopening the lab area with the "known code violation" and was going to begin work to address it, the contractor's report said. The CDC wouldn't say whether the problem has been fixed.

LITTLE ROCK � The very bad year for Arkansas Democrats ended on an equally gloomy note.
LITTLE ROCK � The very bad year for Arkansas Democrats ended on an equally gloomy note.
Attorney General and gubernatorial hopeful Dustin McDaniel�s admission of an extramarital relationship with a Hot Springs attorney marked another low point in 2012 for a party that saw its legislative majority and sole congressional seat wiped out in an election by Republicans. The party�s woes came in a year when Republicans made gains that many in the GOP had waited generations to witness.
�I think it�s an exciting new day for Arkansas after 138 years of primarily one-party rule,� Republican U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin, who won re-election to his central Arkansas district, said on election night.
After all the votes were counted, Republicans held 51 of the 100 seats in the House and 21 of the 35 seats in the Senate. It marked the first time that Republicans controlled the House and Senate since Reconstruction and ended Arkansas� place as the only former Confederate state where Democrats held the Legislature and the governor�s office.
The legislative victories came after a campaign where Republicans doubled down on a strategy that helped them two years ago.
Republicans candidates throughout the state tried to tie their Democratic rivals to President Barack Obama, who remains deeply unpopular in Arkansas, and his federal health care overhaul. In mailings and advertisements, Obama�s image and name were invoked more than any other figure in the state.
�There is a huge anti-Obama bias, and it�s affecting the races,� Beebe, a Democrat who�s enjoyed widespread popularity despite the GOP�s gains, warned in the weeks heading into the election. �That�s just part of the cycle.�
The GOP was also aided by the help of outside conservative groups such as Americans for Prosperity that spent big on the fight for the Legislature. AFP spent more than $900,000 in the state over the past two years and sent 1.1 million mailers in 32 House and Senate districts. Democrats were aided to a lesser extent Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, which sent mailers and aired ads.
The GOP won both chambers despite the backlash against the racially charged writings of three of its candidates.
Republican Rep. Jon Hubbard, who called slavery a �blessing in disguise� in a 2009 book, lost to Democratic challenger Harold Copenhaver, and Democratic Rep. James McLean beat Republican Charlie Fuqua, a candidate and former House member from Batesville who advocated the deportation of all Muslims in a 2011 self-published book. Rep. Loy Mauch, who called Abraham Lincoln a �war criminal� in one of a series of letters to a newspaper, lost to Democrat David Kizzia. Republican leaders distanced themselves from the remarks.
Democrats suffered from a scandal from one of their own legislative candidates as well. Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum resigned his east Arkansas seat in September after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit election fraud. Hallum, along with his father and two campaign workers, admitted in court to participating in a conspiracy to bribe voters in an attempt to influence them in the 2011 special election that sent him to the Legislature.
�I didn�t initially really feel like what I was doing was wrong because I always heard that that�s what you do over here,� Hallum said the day after he pleaded guilty
Hallum�s resignation, and a judge�s order that no votes could be counted for him, paved the way for his predecessor, Fred Smith, to return to the seat he had abandoned after a felony theft by property delivered by mistake conviction. He filed paperwork to run as a Democrat again in March, but the party sued to keep him off the ballot because of the felony charge. A judge dismissed the theft case, and Smith ran as the Green Party�s nominee for the seat.
Democrats� stumbles also helped Republicans sweep all four of the state�s congressional seats. Ken Aden, the party�s nominee for the 3rd District in northwest Arkansas, dropped his bid against Republican Rep. Steve Womack after questions were raised about his claims on his military record. In central Arkansas, Democrat Herb Rule�s bid to unseat Griffin in the 2nd district was hampered by his arrest by Fayetteville police on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Rule has denied he was drunk and questioned the way police handled the traffic stop.
Democrat Scott Ellington fell short in his effort to unseat Republican Rep. Rick Crawford in east Arkansas� 1st District, despite a backlash Crawford saw from some conservatives over his proposal to raise taxes on millionaires. Democratic state Sen. Gene Jeffress� cash-strapped bid for the 3rd District seat being vacated by Democratic Rep. Mike Ross was no match for Republican Tom Cotton�s well-funded campaign. Cotton, an Army veteran and former management consultant, won with the backing of major conservative groups like the Club for Growth.
Long before any votes were cast in the 2012 election, politicians on both sides were positioning themselves for a bigger fight in 2014. Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor in April announced he would seek a third term, as he dismissed speculation that he would retire from the seat he�s held since 2003. The following month, Ross stunned many when he passed on a widely expected bid for governor. The retiring congressman said he would instead take a job with the Southwest Power Pool, and essentially ruled out running for office again.
�You never say never, but I think 2014 was my year, and I think we had a decent shot at winning,� Ross said. �But at the end of the day it wasn�t a political decision. It was just a very personal decision, and I made a decision based on what I thought was best for me and my family.�
McDaniel announced in June that he would run for governor and raised more than $1 million for his bid, but the year ended with his political future in doubt after he admitted to an �inappropriate� relationship with a Hot Springs attorney. The revelation threatened a bid for the Democratic nomination that his campaign days before had suggested was a lock. He now faces the possibility of a heated primary fight against former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter and Highway Commissioner John Burkhalter, who are both considering running.
Several Republicans also expressed interest in the race, with former Congressman Asa Hutchinson expected to announce in January whether he�ll run.
Republicans, meanwhile, were less certain about who would challenge Pryor after Griffin said he wouldn�t run for Senate or governor. Griffin closed the door on a 2014 bid for statewide office after securing a spot on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.

Courier-Journal: Jello powder disrupts Census work in JeffersonvilleWednesday, May 5th, 2010
H/t to Harold J. Adams of the Louisville, Kentucky Courier-Journal for the following report about one of the Census Bureau's three data capture centers:
A red powder that prompted authorities to evacuate a Census Bureau warehouse in Jeffersonville on Tuesday morning turned out to be Jell-O.
That's according to David Hackbarth, director of the bureau's National Processing Center on East 10th Street.
Hackbarth said similar incidents have happened multiple times since the census began.
About 200 employees were forced to leave the warehouse about 8 a.m. after the bureau's onsite response team could not identify the powder found along with a mailed-in census questionnaire in an envelope opened by a worker an hour earlier. The all-clear was given shortly before 1 p.m.
A 20,000-square-foot work bay was on lock-down with no one allowed in or out during the hour that census officials investigated the substance. Then it was determined to evacuate the 200 workers who had been isolated in the bay and call 911 to get help from the Jeffersonville Fire Department and the National Guard's hazardous materials team in Louisville, Hackbarth said.
The employees were kept out of the building during the National Guard investigation.
"This makes our nineteenth incident since we started the census" in March, Hackbarth said.
In sixteen of the previous incidents, Census Bureau security was able to determine the substances were harmless without calling in outside help. Two other incidents did require National Guard help, but were also found to be harmless, Hackbarth said.
The evacuation of the warehouse temporarily suspended the processing of incoming census forms, he said, but other operations proceeded normally.
"Fortunately, we are ahead of our processing curve," he said.

Evening Primrose Herb
Oenothera Biennis
Other Names: Common Evening Primrose, Fever plant, Great Evening-Primrose, King's-cure-all, Night willow-herb, Scabish, Scurvish, Tree primrose
Evening Primrose Herbal Use
Evening Primrose was formerly cultivated for its nutritious edible roots. It is being increasingly cultivated for the oil contained in its seeds which contain certain the essential Gramm-linoleinc acid (GLA), a very valuable fatty acid that is not found in many plants. GLA has numerous vital functions in the body. It is an essential fatty acid that the body does not manufacture. GLA is known to help prevent hardening of the arteries, heart disease, eczema, cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis, menopause, PMS, multiple sclerosis, and high blood pressure. It has a positive effect on sex hormone response including the hormones estrogen and testosterone, aids in lowering cholesterol levels, and is important in treating cirrhosis of the liver. Research also demonstrates that Evening Primrose oil helps relieve pain and inflammation. The oil also has a positive effect on the uterine muscles, nervous system and metabolism. The bark and the leaves are astringent and sedative. They have proved of use in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, whooping cough and asthma. A tea made from the roots is used in the treatment of obesity. A finely ground powder made from the flowering stems is used cosmetically in face-masks to counteract reddened skin.
Evening Primrose Edible Plant Parts
Evening Primrose is edible and has a long history of use as an alternative medicine . The leaves are cooked and eaten as greens and the roots are said to be sweet succulent and delicious when boiled like potatoes. Flowers are a sweet addition to salads or as a garnish and young seedpods are Steamed. This plant was a staple food for many Native American tribes.

Evening Primrose Plant Description
Evening Primrose is a North American native biennial plant. The plants are very tall, often 4 to 5 feet or more in height. The stem is erect, stout, soft-hairy, reddish and branching forming a shrub. Leaves are alternate, rough-hairy, lanceolate, about 3 to 6 inches long and lemon-scented. The taproot is elongated, fibrous, yellow on the outside and whitish within. The flower spikes grow on auxiliary branches all along the stalk. They are about 2-1/2 inched in diameter, bright yellow and have four petals, a cross shaped stigma and a refluxed calyx (leaves under petals). The flowers open in the evening and close up during the day and are strongly scented with a delicious sweet perfume which attracts pollinating moths. The fruit is an oblong 1 in. capsule containing many tiny reddish seeds.
Evening Primrose Recipe
Roasted seeds: Rotate and press dry seed capsules to release seed, roast in oven for 15 to 20 min. at 350 deg. Use on bread or in salad, sprinkle over any dish like pepper.
Natural Habitat and Bloom Season
Evening Primrose is found east of the Rockies to the Atlantic. Naturalized in Britain but found all over the world. It grows by roadsides, railway banks and waste places in dry open soils, gravelly places, meadows and old fields.
Evening Primrose is in bloom from June to September. The entire plant is edible, gather edible roots and leaves in spring may be frozen, gather flowers, buds and young seed pods in bloom, gather entire plant in fall and dry for later herb use. Evening Primrose Oil is made from pressing oil from the tiny seeds. You can also grind the seeds of Evening Primrose and use them as you would flax seed.
How to grow Evening Primrose
Evening primrose is easily cultivated, it prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) well-drained soils and requires full sun. Plants will last two years and are self sowing.Article by Deb Jackson & Karen Bergeron

New HIV Cases Increasing Among Young MSM in New York City Despite Drop in Overall New Cases, New York Times Reports
January 2, 2008
The number of new HIV cases among men younger than age 30 who have sex with men in New York City has increased since 2003 despite a decrease in the number of overall new cases and AIDS-related deaths, the New York Times reports.
Health officials have attributed the increase in part to:
New York health officials have acknowledged that their efforts to prevent HIV -- including a condom distribution program, education programs at churches and other venues, and increased availability of HIV tests -- are falling short.

Global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney takes an annual look at which emerging markets are ripe for retail expansion.
Their study looks at 30 emerging countries and grades them on a number of factors, including an assessment of country risk, population size, and wealth as well as the country's current retail saturation.
The effect of global economic challenges as well as rising tensions in the Middle East and North Africa shook up the top 10 quite a bit this year, to the benefit of many South American countries, which fared very well during the recession with an impressive economic growth rate of 6 percent.
With the growth of consumer spending sluggish at best in many developed markets, retailers have little choice but to expand their businesses to new markets if they want to compete.
You can't afford to not think about global expansion," said Hana Ben-Shabat, A.T. Kearney partner and co-leader of the study.

Twitter came out with an entirely new social media app called Vine.
It's like Instagram, except instead of photos, it's 6 second videos. They look like this:
My #firstpost on Vine is terrible vine.co/v/b5xpmAYxZED— Nicholas Carlson (@nichcarlson) January 25, 2013
Or this:
Hello! Welcome to Vine vine.co/v/b5xQHQ5TrPX— Nicholas Carlson (@nichcarlson) January 25, 2013

Failure to do so would costs cotton growers, says Arkansan Cotton growers may have the most to lose if they fail to implement EPA's new refuge requirements for Bollgard cotton, an Arkansas producer leader says.
Speaking at the NCC's Beltwide Cotton Production Conferences in Anaheim, Calif., Allen Helms said farmers could jeopardize the continued registration of Bollgard cotton if they fail to voluntarily comply with the new requirements.
"It is in the growers' best interest to practice good use of these insect resistance management guidelines," said Helms, who helped develop the new rules in negotiations between EPA, Monsanto and the National Cotton Council.
"Cotton producers stand to lose the most if this technology becomes ineffective," said Helms, former chairman of the American Cotton Producers, the producer arm of the NCC. "These refuge requirements were collectively agreed upon as an effective plan to prevent resistance."
In addition, he said, the refuge requirements are part of the contractual agreement Monsanto uses to license the use of its Bollgard technology. "Failure to comply could result in your inability to obtain a Bt cotton variety," he said.
Finally, to maintain reasonable Bt refuge requirements in future crop years, growers must continue to prove that they are voluntarily complying with the current refuge requirements.
"Many of the critics of this technology accuse cotton producers of being careless in their stewardship of this valuable production tool," said Helms, who farms at Clarkedale in northeast Arkansas. "We have made a strong case for compliance in the continued success of any refuge strategy, and producers are the key to compliance."
Last fall, EPA announced a temporary extension of the Bollgard registration that was scheduled to expire on Jan. 1 of this year, giving them the remainder of the year to consider a longer-term registration.
"As we speak, the process is under way for the 2002 crop year and beyond," said Helms. "All of the current refuge options are under review. The National Cotton Council has said that for the resistance management plan to be effective, it must be feasible and consistent.
"We believe the requirements for the 2001 crop are feasible. For them to remain consistent, we must continue to show good faith in our compliance. Therefore, the burden is on us, the users of this technology. We must demonstrate to EPA and our critics we will continue a high level of compliance and improve where we can."
He outlined the refuge options for the 2001 crop year:
1. The existing 20 percent sprayed option has an added requirement that all Bollgard fields must be within one mile of the refuge (from field border to field border). As in previous years, the 20 percent sprayed option means you plant 25 acres of conventional cotton as a refuge for every 100 acres of Bollgard cotton.
2. The previous 4 percent unsprayed option has been increased to 5 percent or five acres of unsprayed refuge for every 95 acres of Bollgard. This unsprayed refuge must be at least 150 feet wide (about 48 rows). To comply with the 5 percent unsprayed option, all Bollgard fields must be within one-half mile of the unsprayed refuge. (Note: The unsprayed refuge cannot be treated with any cotton insecticide labeled for control of tobacco budworm, bollworm or pink bollworm.)
3. EPA added a third refuge option, which allows the 5 percent refuge to be placed inside or "embedded" in a larger field or field unit. This new option also allows the refuge to be treated with any insecticide used to treat the Bollgard fields within the same 24 hours. The embedded refuge cannot be treated for bollworm, tobacco budworm or pink bollworm independently of the surrounding field.
The new rules also offer producers who farm across broad areas and their neighbors the opportunity to put together community refuge plans to make it easier for them to comply with new restrictions on how far refuge acres can be located from their associated Bollgard acres.
Helms said some aspects of the community refuge plan are still being negotiated with EPA.

Tesla Motors shares fell sharply Thursday, a day after the manufacturer of electric sport sedans reported its latest financial results.
The stock fell nearly 6% to $190 in morning trading after earlier triggering a short-sale circuit breaker.
A close at $190 would be the lowest for the stock since early February. Shares are about 30% off their 52-week high of $265, set Feb. 26. Goldman Sachs said in a note Thursday that it remains bearish on the stock.
But while investors in the high-flying stock were turning cautious, others appeared to be taking the opportunity to pick up shares.
CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday\'s conference call with analysts that the company is moving forward with its plan to break ground on two Gigafactorires, massive battery production facilities needed to support the company\'s plans to make far cheaper mass production electric vehicles in coming years.

Firstly, the example given wouldn't compile because strcat and strlen are defined in "cstring", which is not included as a library in the code. Secondly, the program will more than likely crash after every run attempt due to the fact that the 200 byte array is not being initialized to 0, thus causing an unintentional buffer overflow.
This should be the replacement:
- Code: Select all
char concatenated[200] = {0};
Also, to trigger a buffer overflow (i.e. to overwrite the value of is_pass_correct) the variables need to be contiguous in memory, there is no way to enforce this.
Anyway, if you're up to the "buffer overflow" section, the only hint I can give you is to look at the code and realize you're attempting to overwrite the value of a variable to trigger a "correct" response. How would you trigger a correct response? What value needs to be returned in order for that to happen? It has been mentioned in this thread that is a single capital letter. This should be informative enough.

Federal judge rules Tennessee must respect marriages of 3 same-sex couples
March 14, 2014
On March 14, 2014, U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger ruled that state officials must respect the marriages of three same-sex couples whose lawsuit challenges the state's marriage ban. These couples' marriages will be respected as their case proceeds, since the judge explained that plaintiffs are likely to prevail in their case.
The judge wrote, "At this point, all signs indicate that, in the eyes of the United States Constitution, the plaintiffs' marriages will be placed on an equal footing with those of heterosexual couples and that proscriptions against same-sex marriage will soon become a footnote in the annals of American history."
The ruling is in Tanco v. Haslam, a case filed by the National Center for Lesbian Rights in October 2013.
Freedom to Marry founder and president Evan Wolfson celebrated the ruling today. He said:
This is the eighth judge in recent months to rule on a challenge to marriage discrimination, with now eight out of eight ruling that under our Constitution, across our entire country, marriage discrimination should and must end. The judge's powerful words and the fact that today's ruling comes out of Tennessee make clear that all of America is ready for the freedom to marry, and it is time for appellate judges and the Supreme Court to do right by all families and bedrock principles of liberty and equality under the law.
Tennessee is the second Southern state where a federal judge has ruled in favor of respect for out-of-state marriages for same-sex couples, following Kentucky in February. Fifty-five lawsuits seeking the freedom to marry or respect for out-of-state marriages are currently pending in federal and state court in 28 states across the country.
This year, Freedom to Marry launched Southerners for the Freedom to Marry, a $1 million campaign in partnership with 15 state and regional organizations dedicated to equality for LGBT people in the South. The bipartisan campaign is designed to amplify stories of why marriage matters in the South and features 13 honorary co-chairs, including U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, Congressman John Lewis, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Mark McKinnon (chief adviser to President George W. Bush), musician and author Lance Bass, and TV producers Harry Thomason & Linda Bloodworth-Thomason.

Question: "Does God hate? If God is love, how can He hate?"
Answer: It seems a contradiction that a God who is love can also hate. We are created with the capacity to both love and hate; it is part of our being created in the image of God. The fact that we are all tainted with sin does not negate the fact that the ability to love and hate is part of the image of God that was created within us all. Therefore, if it is no contradiction for a human being to be able to love and hate, then much more so would it not be a contradiction for God to be able to love and hate.
When the Bible does speak of God hating, the object of God's hatred is usually sin and wickedness. Among the things God hates are idolatry (Deuteronomy 12:31; 16:22) and those who do evil (Psalm 5:4-6; 11:5). Proverbs 6:16-19 outlines seven things the Lord hates: pride, lying, murder, evil plots, those who love evil, false witness, and troublemakers. Notice that this passage does not include justthings that God hates; it includes people as well.
The question that begs to be answered at this point is why does God hate these things? God hates them because they are contrary to His nature—God's nature being holy, pure and righteous. In fact, David writes, "For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you" (Psalm 5:4 emphasis added). God is holy and hates sin. If He did not hate sin, He would not be holy. God is love, but He is also wrath, justice, and vengeance. But His wrath is a holy wrath and His justice and vengeance are holy as well. God's love is holy. Therefore, He cannot "love everyone all the time no matter what they do," as some like to claim. Nothing could be further from the truth. God loves righteousness and holiness and hates sin and evil. If He did not, He would not be God.
So if God hates sin and loves holiness, how does He love us? Simple. He loves us because we have the righteousness of Christ who became sin for us on the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21). He poured out His wrath and vengeance against sin on His Son, so that He could pour out His mercy and love on us. But without that sacrifice credited to us, His wrath and hatred remain on us because He hates our sin. The Bible never says He "hates the sin, but loves the sinner." In fact, He is "angry with the wicked every day" (Psalm 7:11). Is there a sense in which God loves everyone? Yes. Does that love preclude God from also hating sin, wickedness, and evil? No.

Rush Win One Juno Award, Up for Another
Fresh off this past Thursday's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rush won the Rock Album of the Year Juno award for 'Clockwork Angels' last night in Regina, Saskatchewan. The group beat out alt.rockers Billy Talent, retro-rock band the Sheepdogs, the Tragically Hip and Big Wreck to walk away with the eighth Juno award of their career.
Along with Metric, Big Wreck and more, Rush are also nominated for the Group of the Year award, which will be presented during a televised ceremony Sunday night (April 21).
There has been a flurry of activity in the Rush camp over the course of the last week. In addition to the announcement that they would be immortalized on a stamp in their home land, some argue that Rush stole the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony on Thursday night. Of course, we can't reference the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony without mentioning the Foo Fighters' tribute to the group.
Rush kick off their 'Clockwork Angels' tour in Austin, Texas this coming Tuesday night (April 23). The group are slated to be traveling North American highways for the bulk of the summer. Their tour is currently scheduled to wrap up on Aug. 4 in Kansas City, Mo.

KPMG, the business consulting behemoth, issued an in-depth study on cloud adoption, cautioning that the gains made during the first moves to a cloud model may be short-lived unless companies truly align their business processes to a cloud model.
"As organizations gain more experience in the cloud and start to shift more and more core business functions onto cloud platforms, we are seeing a growing recognition that cloud adoption is significantly more complex than originally anticipated, particularly in terms of data management, system integration and the management of multiple cloud providers," KPMG said in the study.
For the report, titled "The Cloud Takes Shape, Global Cloud Survey: The Implementation Challenge," KPMG interviewed more than 650 senior business executives in 16 countries.
Read on to see what KPMG found.

The Hummer was a civilian vehicle, which based its design on vehicles used by the U.S. military during the Persian Gulf War of the early 1990s. However, while the Hummer brand only came into existence in 1992, the company can trace its roots back to the Jeeps that were produced by the Willys-Overland company during World War II.
Hummer After World War II
During the postwar period, a surplus of Jeeps found its way into the American used car market. The Jeeps proved so popular that a version was created to market to civilian drivers. The success of Jeep as a brand helped paved the way for the Hummer. But more importantly, the division of Jeep that produced vehicles for the military eventually evolved into AM General, the company that designed the prototype for the Hummer in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The company, which by then was known as AM General, designed a vehicle dubbed the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, most commonly known as the Humvee. The military liked the design and AM General won a five-year contract to deliver 55,000 vehicles.
The Humvee first saw action during the 1991 Gulf War, after which AM General decided to release a consumer version. Known as the Hummer, it made its debut in 1992 when what would later become known as the H1 was introduced as the brand's first offering. In 1998, GM acquired the brand and continued to manage it until its demise in 2010.
Hummer Through The Years
Released in the early 1990s, the original AM General Hummer was introduced at just the right time to catch the wave of SUV mania that swept over the American auto market for more than a decade. It was a premium make riding high on the heels of popularity from its wartime use and celebrity endorsement.
The original Hummer (what would become the H1) sold well for a few years, but when GM acquired the company in 1998, the company released two alternate versions of the Hummer. The H2 and the H3 were later introduced, both of which were constructed on smaller, non-military-based platforms. The H2 was slightly smaller than the original model H1, while the H3 was the smallest vehicle.
Unfortunately, while Hummer flourished during the SUV craze, its viability as a brand began to seriously flounder as American drivers began to backlash against sport utility vehicles. The economic downturn of 2008 further threatened the viability of high-priced, bulky, conspicuously gas-guzzling vehicles like the Hummer.
GM eventually attempted to sell the brand off to a Chinese manufacturing conglomerate in 2009. However, the arrangement fell through with some reports indicating that the Chinese ministry of commerce blocked the deal. GM was ultimately left with no choice, and in 2010 the Hummer brand was discontinued altogether.
Hummer Models
Released in 1992, the original AM General Hummer was based on the Humvee used by the military during the Gulf War. A rugged, four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle, the Hummer was enormously popular when it was first released, taking advantage of the 1990s SUV craze. However, ultimately the Hummer's high cost of operation, as most models achieved well below 20 mpg on the highway, priced it out of the reach of many American drivers.
The first all-new model after GM acquired the Hummer name (officially designating the brand Hummer) H2 was introduced in 2003, about five years after GM took over the Hummer brand. Slimmer than the H1, which was based on a military Humvee, the H2 was taller with more headroom and could carry five passengers versus the H1's four. Loaded with features, the H2 was a spacious premium vehicle mounted on the frame of a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle. Unfortunately, the H2's poor fuel economy, which was estimated to be between 9-12 mpg, led it to falling out of favor with America drivers. It came as either a closed-back SUV or with a small truck bed as the H2 SUT.
The H3 was significantly smaller than the H2. Released in 2005, the H3 was built by GM and was available either as a standard midsize SUV or as a midsize pickup version of an SUV, known as the H3T.
Hummer Products and Technologies
Hummer may have a shorter history than many automotive manufacturers, but it certainly left its mark. At the height of its popularity, Hummers were a trademark of the rich and famous. Massively expensive to operate, hugely boxy and entirely conspicuous, Hummers were always in a different class from the toughened up minivan alternatives that occupied much of the SUV market during the 1990s and early 2000s.
The discontinuation of the Hummer brand is perhaps not so much a reflection of the quality of its vehicles as it was a sign of the times. Ostentatiousness and conspicuous consumption may have flourished during the economically go-go days of the 1990s tech boom and the early 2000s real estate boom. However, in the post economic downtown, the Hummer very closely mirrored the belt-tightening that the rest of the country faced.

Aren't you proud of me? I've posted three healthy, light meals in a row. I don't know how much longer I can keep it up without throwing something chocolaty in soon (don't think about donuts, don't think about donuts, don't think about . . . )
Of course this soup is the best when the summer's produce is at its peak but it's still wonderful in the winter when soups are what keeps you warm. It's easy to make because you just cut up the veggies, roast them and puree them and it goes great with a side salad, crusty loaf of bread and some new year's resolutions. Yum.
2 ¼ pounds tomatoes, halved lengthwise
3 large red bell peppers, halved
1 onion, cut into thin wedges
8 large garlic cloves, peeled
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Arrange vegetables, onion and garlic on a greased baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove and cool. Puree in a food processor, transfer to a stock pot and add the remaining ingredients except the Parmesan and heat gently for 15 minutes. Serve garnished with extra thyme and Parmesan cheese.
