Leaving home for the first time is a big step, especially if you are very close to your family like I am. Although not always the case, many children stay home with their parents until they are given their first real reason to leave. Whether it be they feel they have become too old to live at home, get married or an opportunity arises that is too big to pass up comes about, like a job. We choose to leave the familiarity of our childhood homes because it will better our quality of lives, give us opportunities that we otherwise may never have had if we stayed,
About two months ago I moved from Los Angeles out of my parent's home to across the country to the East Coast to start my dream job. While I know this was the right choice, to accept the position, and make the move, my biggest reservation was fear. How could I leave my family to this foreign place where people were different and I didn't know anyone? The night I told my parents about the job I cried as I spoke because I knew that I would have to leave them. This job was something that I had worked hard for. This opportunity was something that would better my life, I could not say no.
Something that kept crossing my mind during this transition period was as difficult as it would be for me to move across the country, it must have been far more difficult for my mother whom had to leave to her actual country. My mother was 19 years old when she left El Salvador, her family, and immigrated to a foreign land where she couldn't speak the language. My mother, like myself and other young adults was given a reason to leave her home. Except, she was force to do so to save her life during a time of a horrific civil war that had already claimed the life of her older brother.
My mother won't share the details of her immigration to the United States, understandably because of the circumstances and fashion in which they had to occur. But when I think of what she had to do, as young women during a time where women were disappearing every day, she had to trust complete strangers to transport her across the border. I feel such admiration for her. Strangely enough, knowing that she was able to make her much more difficult journey helped me to push through my fear.
I spent my last day in Los Angeles with my mother, during which she used the time to lecture me on everything she possibly could, I suppose because she was worried I would forget because she wouldn't be around to remind me. My last hour before we were to leave for the airport I because a little girl again, curled up to her while she stroked my head while we lay in silence. The moment in which I had to leave my mother to board my plane she held me the longest, and she made the sign of the cross on my head to keep me safe. I can't help but imagine my Abuelita did the exact same thing to my mother when she had to let her go.

Did you miss the AAA Annual Meeting screening of Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness? Want to share the film with your colleagues and students? This week, the documentary is airing nationally on the PBS series Independent Lens, hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Check your local TV listings.
The film examines the life and career of Melville J. Herskovits (1895-1963), the controversial anthropologist who established the African Studies Center at Northwestern and wrote the groundbreaking The Myth of the Negro Past. It asks, "Who has the authority to define a culture, especially when people from that culture are denied the opportunity to engage in the scholarly discourse of defining themselves?"
The film, by Llewellyn Smith, Christine Herbes-Sommers and Vincent Brown, features compelling interviews with scholars such as Lee D Baker (Duke U and a member of AAA's Executive Board), Johnnetta Cole (Smithsonian and AAA's 2008 Distinguished Speaker), and Gelya Frank (USC). It was recently honored with the American Historical Association's John E. O'Connor Film Award and the Best Documentary Award at the Hollywood Black Film Festival; the Kino-Eye Film blog has also named it one of the top 35 documentaries of the decade.

RIO DE JANEIRO — FIFA says it has rejected Luis Suarez's appeal against his four-month ban from all football for biting an opponent in a World Cup match.
The FIFA appeals committee rejected the appeal by Suarez and the Uruguay football federation in its entirety.
Suarez can appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The Uruguay and Liverpool forward was banned for nine Uruguay matches, four months from all football and fined 100,000 Swiss francs ($112,000) for biting the shoulder of Giorgio Chiellini during his team's 1-0 win over Italy in a group-stage game in Brazil.
It is the third time Suarez has been banned for biting an opponent, after similar incidents at both Ajax in the Dutch league and Liverpool in the English Premier League.

In the cases denied review on Monday, the evidence was composed of a 20-minute videotape in one case, and a 14-minute videotape in the other. In each case, the... 20-minute presentation included dozens of still photographs and video clips depicting the victim's life, set to the music of recording star Enya, with a voice narration by the victim's mother. The 14-minute display included 118 photographs of the murdered couple, with a narration by their children....Is it unfair to stoke emotions with Enya?
Justice Stevens described the videos as "a far cry from the written victim impact evidence at issue" in the Court's two prior rulings on such evidence. "As these cases demonstrate, when victim impact evidence is enhanced with music, photographs, or video footage, the risk of unfair prejudice quickly becomes overwhelming."
While the video tributes at issue in these cases contained moving portrayals of the lives of the victims, their primary, if not sole, effect was to rouse jurors' sympathy for the victims and increase jurors' antipathy for the capital defendants."The test, under the existing Supreme Court case law -- from Payne v. Tennessee -- is whether the evidence "is so unduly prejudicial that it renders the trial fundamentally unfair." What sort of music/video presentation would cause you to take leave of your senses?

A neighborhood meeting in Northwest Baltimore to discuss a new supermarket opened with soft organ music and bowed heads, demonstrating the importance of such a facility to a community that has done without one for more than a decade.
"We pray this night for this area, called Howard Park, in particular," the Rev. Donald Sterling said Friday at the pulpit in New All Saints Catholic Church, off Liberty Heights Avenue. On either side of the altar were displayed plans for a 68,000-square-foot state-of-the-art grocery store with more than 200 parking spaces.
The Klein family, owners of the Forest Hill-based Klein's Family Markets, came to an agreement last week with the Baltimore Development Corp. to build a new ShopRite supermarket in the neighborhood, said Jeffrey Brown, founder of the nonprofit UpLift Solutions Inc., which works to put grocery stores in underserved communities and is partnering with Klein's on the Howard Park store.
"We pray with and for the Kleins … to be involved in providing for us," Sterling said.
The developers will pay $2 million for the city-owned land that has harbored a vacant, deteriorating Super Pride grocery storefront since it closed more than a decade ago, Brown said at the meeting. The new store, tentatively scheduled to open in early 2013, will be located in the 4600 block of Liberty Heights Ave.
The agreement also lays out the payment terms, repayment financing and minority contracting requirements, Brown said.
The BDC's representative at the meeting, Leon F. Pinkett III, declined to comment on the terms of the agreement because the Baltimore City Board of Estimates has not yet approved the language.
Pinkett said that the agreement would go before the board by the end of the month and. If it approved, the city would demolish the existing building. He said demolition could begin as early as Nov. 1.
Some members of the community have waited so long for a place near home to buy fresh food that they were still in disbelief at the end of the meeting.
"After all this talk, I still don't know if there's going to be a grocery store," said Jesola Jones, who sat through the two-hour meeting taking notes of what was said. Jones, a 30-year resident of the neighborhood, said she has seen too many disappointments over the past decade and is not getting her hopes up until she sees construction begin. In 2005 two proposals to the BDC fell through.
Other community members think that the Board of Estimates will easily approve the deal and the grocery store will be built as was presented at the meeting.
"What are they going to do, say, 'No'?" asked Shadid Tamir Abdul-Rahim, chairman of the Howard Park Civic Association Inc. "The mayor needs to start pushing to get this thing built."
There were at least 150 people at the meeting to hear the Kleins' plan for the store, and many of them, during public questioning, seemed to have high hopes for the store beyond better nutrition. The store will have a pharmacy and a nurse practitioner clinic, a full-time community relations coordinator, community meeting rooms and possibly a place for social services, said Brown.
Saundra Adams, who recently retired as principal of Calvin Rodwell Elementary School directly across Hillsdale Road from the site of the new supermarket, was delighted to hear that ShopRite plans to assist with the school's culinary arts program.
Some are asking for more community benefits, including summertime training for teenagers, delivery services for the sick and elderly, and partnerships with nearby Forest Park High School. There were many questions about when the grocery would be hiring and how to bid for contracts.
"I can't guarantee all problems will go away," said Brown.
The Kleins operate seven ShopRite markets in Maryland. Their family company was founded in 1925. The Howard Park store will be the company's largest. It is expected to be about 3,000 square feet larger than their store in Bel Air, said Baltimore resident Marshall Klein, who is part of the fourth generation of Kleins managing the company.
"My family will be in this community until I die," he said. "I want 10 stores in Baltimore, but I can't do that unless the first one is the best."

Online Wills - Learn More Pros and Cons Benson
Making a will is one of the most important things that you can do. Without leaving a last will and testament, families can suffer from added complications and expense as the estate goes through the courts' time-consuming intestacy procedures.
Making a will is the one sure way of guaranteeing that your last wishes will be carried out and that those who you wish to benefit from your assets are certain to do so.
Deciding what happens to your assets when you are gone is a process that requires a lot of thought, preparation and planning – after all you are making decisions that can have a major impact upon your loved ones when you die.
Although there is a trend in modern times for increasing numbers of people to make online wills, this is not a course of action to be recommended.
It is a fact that these days, more wills are being contested than ever before as the rise in property values means that it is now worth the expense of engaging a solicitor when there is a chance of benefiting from valuable assets.
Solicitors are more commonly using a range of arguments to prove that the person who signed the will either failed to understand the document, did not supply the relevant information or did not even sign the will itself.
These arguments are all too easy to put forward in the case of an online will.
When you visit a solicitor to draw up a will, as well as the resulting legal document there is also substantial amounts of information and evidence left on your case file.
This means that anyone contesting your will would find it difficult to persuade the court that the document was not your true intention. Online wills Benson are open to interpretation and may, therefore, be inadvertently drawn up incorrectly.
Some questions can be difficult to understand fully – for example you may underestimate the value of your estate or struggle to answer queries about your children in complex family situations where stepchildren or fostered children may be a consideration.
It is for these reasons that a discussion ought to take place with a qualified professional before drawing up a will, and only then can you rest assured that all of your needs are being met and any inheritance tax will be limited.
An online will is entirely inappropriate in a number of circumstances. If, for example, there is someone that you specifically wish to exclude from your will, you run the risk of having your will contested without professional help.
If you own property in another country, have your own business or have children from several relationships, you should also seek a solicitor's assistance.
Others who should talk to a lawyer include those who are unmarried with a valuable estate and who wish to minimise inheritance tax and those who are concerned about what may happen to their estate if a partner remarries or has to receive full-time care.

We are proud to present our latest limited edition bottles, Absolut Electrik. The metallic range - available in blue and silver - evokes a feeling of energy capable of turning any night electric. The launch continues the Absolut Nights mission to transform the night by infusing it with creativity.
Absolut Electrik contains the same Swedish vodka as a bottle of Absolut Vodka. It is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike some other vodkas, it doesn't contain any added sugar. In fact, Absolut is as clean as vodka can be. Still, it has a certain taste: Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit. All absolut is made in the same distillery, with wheat from the same fields, and water from our own deep well.
Absolut Electrik follows a celebrated tradition of introducing end of year limited editions featuring cutting-edge designs. The twin bottle release is available in electrik blue and silver, with semi-transparent coating creating see-through reflections. The two colors represent Absolut's signature cobalt blue and the electrical conductivity of silver. When combined, the colors reflect an Electrik aesthetic reminiscent of flashing lights and pumping beats.
In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin. Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. 100 years later, it was reintroduced as Absolut. Just as then, Absolut is produced in Åhus, not far from L.O. Smith's birth town. Also the place where the wheat used for making the vodka is grown. And since the way Absolut is made won't change, neither will the true taste of vodka.
Turn tonight Electrik. Here are a few inspirational recipes to get you started, just take a pick below!

Have you checked a dictionary?
A stereotype is a depiction of a group of people, usually of negative attributes. There is usually some basis in fact, but it is not good to assume all members of a group are alike.
A prejudice is a pre-formed judgment on a person or thing. You make a judgment not based on the individual, but on his group. If you believe in stereotypes, then you are likely to form prejudiced opinions against an individual based on his group.

I'm new at this so I'm allowed to ask a few dumb questions.
Now that I am successfully downloading regularly good data from
FUNcube-1 this question keeps coming up.
When they talk about X+ and X- solar arrays or temperature sensors Y or Z
Which axis is which in say the relation to the satellite's orbit or whatever
other reference system in use by satellites as they fly around the earth?
I have tried to research this myself but am getting conflicting answers.
I am trying to establish how the satellite spins and tumbles and why when it has a magnetic
earth sensor (bar magnet)?

The good news last week? MDS gained only one game on me. The bad news? MDS got only seven of the 14 games right.
Yep, that 12-1 performance from yours truly in Week Seven is now the chunk of filet between a moldy pair of 6-8 slices of counterfeit Wonder bread.
At one point, it was looking disastrous. Thanks to the Giants, Broncos, and 49ers, a nauseating 3-8 start was salvaged. Sort of.
This week, we again disagree on only one game. And it all comes down to Monday night.
For the year, I'm now 73-45, and MDS is 69-49.
Chiefs at Chargers
MDS's take: Matt Cassel is back as the Chiefs' starting quarterback, and the result will be more or less the same as the first time Cassel started against the Chargers this year: He'll throw multiple interceptions and the Chiefs will lose.
MDS's pick: Chargers 27, Chiefs 13.
Florio's take: The Chargers already have beaten the Chiefs in Kansas City. Then again, who hasn't? Norv Turner's week-to-week employment lasts at least another week.
Florio's pick: Chargers 27, Chiefs 16.
Broncos at Bengals
MDS's take: The Bengals' defense has been a mess this season, and Peyton Manning is getting better every week. Manning will throw for 300 yards and four touchdowns and the Broncos will cruise.
MDS's pick: Broncos 31, Bengals 17.
Florio's take: The schedule softens for a Denver team that looks to be much better than the one that made it to the final eight a year ago. The Bengals, on the other hand, are starting a rough patch that will make a rough season even rougher. Roughly speaking.
Florio's pick: Broncos 31, Bengals 17.
Ravens at Browns
MDS's take: I'm tempted to pick the upset here, as the Ravens have struggled to put teams away while the Browns have played competitive football even in defeat. But while the Browns will keep this one close, the Ravens will manage to hold them off.
MDS's pick: Ravens 23, Browns 21.
Florio's take: Cleveland's old team returns to town, nearly 17 years to the day after Cleveland's old team declared its intention to leave. The Browns will make it interesting, but the Ravens know they need to step it up now in order to hold off the Steelers, who are making their move and who face the Ravens twice in three weeks, starting later this month.
Florio's pick: Ravens 20, Browns 14.
Cardinals at Packers
MDS's take: This looks to me like the easiest pick on the board. Aaron Rodgers will have another big game, Clay Matthews will have a couple sacks, and the reeling Cardinals will lose their fifth straight.
MDS's pick: Packers 31, Cardinals 12.
Florio's take: After nearly losing to the Jags, the Packers will be on guard for a Cardinals team that hits the road on a short week after a Monday night mess.
Florio's pick: Packers 35, Cardinals 20.
Bills at Texans
MDS's take: Speaking of easy games to pick, there's no way the Bills' defense slows down Matt Schaub, Arian Foster and Co. I do think C.J. Spiller could have a big game against the Texans' run defense, but the Bills' offense won't be able to keep up the scoring pace.
MDS's pick: Texans 35, Bills 21.
Florio's take: $100 million can buy a lot of Super Bowl rings. That may be the only way Mario Williams ever gets one.
Florio's pick: Texans 30, Bills 17.
Dolphins at Colts
MDS's take: If the playoffs started today, these two teams would earn the two AFC wild card berths. Who saw that coming before the season? I look for the Dolphins to take a big step toward the playoffs with a big win in Indianapolis, and I expect a lot of people to be talking about Joe Philbin as a coach of the year candidate after his team gets its biggest win of the season.
MDS's pick: Dolphins 27, Colts 14.
Florio's take: A pair of top-ten quarterbacks have winning records through eight weeks, and neither has a III at the end of his name. Despite III wins in a row, the Dolphins remain underrated. Will they still be if they're VIII-III when hosting the Pats?
Florio's pick: Dolphins 23, Colts 20.
Lions at Jaguars
MDS's take: The Lions' m.o. is the same every week: Start slowly and get better as the game goes on. Some games, like last week against the Seahawks, that results in a last-minute come-from-behind win. Other games, like two weeks ago against the Bears, that results in a last-minute touchdown followed by a failed onside kick and a loss. So which will it be this week? I'm betting neither. The Lions have finally found an opponent they can beat from pillar to post and will win easily in Jacksonville.
MDS's pick: Lions 27, Jaguars 10.
Florio's take: With the Jaguars outscored 95-20 at home at home this season and the Lions beginning to show some signs of life, this is precisely the kind of game that Jacksonville should win. I'll take my chances.
Florio's pick: Lions 28, Jaguars 17.
Bears at Titans
MDS's take: The Bears' defense will make life miserable for Matt Hasselbeck and hold Chris Johnson to less than 20 yards. Chicago wins this big.
MDS's pick: Bears 27, Titans 13.
Florio's take: It's tempting to take the Titans, who have played well lately. Especially since the Bears were sluggish at best against the Panthers. But a good team finds a way to win games it seems to be trying to lose. On Sunday, the Bears will be less complacent.
Florio's pick: Bears 27, Titans 17.
Panthers at Redskins
MDS's take: In a game with all eyes on Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III, I like Redskins running back Alfred Morris to steal the show with a big game against a suspect Panthers run defense.
MDS's pick: Redskins 24, Panthers 14.
Florio's take: The quarterbacks should put their respective Heisman Trophies on the line for this one. If they do, Robert Griffin III will have bookends.
Florio's pick: Redskins 33, Panthers 23.
Buccaneers at Raiders
MDS's take: The Raiders are actually playing some surprisingly good football lately, to the point where I wouldn't rule out a run at an AFC playoff spot. Carson Palmer will put a lot of points on the board as the Raiders win their third straight game.
MDS's pick: Raiders 34, Buccaneers 20.
Florio's take: This rematch of Super Bowl XXXVII will turn out a little bit better for the Silver and Black, which surprisingly remain in striking distance for a playoff berth.
Florio's pick: Raiders 27, Buccaneers 20.
Vikings at Seahawks
MDS's take: Both the Vikings and the Seahawks are coming off disappointing Week Eight performances, but I have a lot more faith in Seattle's ability to turn things around at home.
MDS's pick: Seahawks 23, Vikings 16.
Florio's take: The Vikings were exposed last week against the Bucs, and offensive coordinator Bill Mugrave could be exposed to unemployment if he doesn't get the team back on track. Good luck with that in Seattle, against that defense.
Florio's pick: Seahawks 20, Vikings 9.
Steelers at Giants
MDS's take: The Steelers have played well at home and badly on the road this season, and that will continue against the Giants, who will win their fifth in a row.
MDS's pick: Giants 28, Steelers 17.
Florio's take: It's a simple formula in New York. Play great against great teams. Play not-so-great against not-so-great teams. The Steelers currently fall closer to the former category.
Florio's pick: Giants 35, Steelers 27.
Cowboys at Falcons
MDS's take: Despite the Falcons' 7-0 record and the Cowboys' 3-4 record, I see this as a close game. The Cowboys are playing competitive football and the Falcons have had a tendency to let weaker teams hang around. But the end result will be something we've already seen a couple times this season. Dallas failing to pull it out in the end.
MDS's pick: Falcons 24, Cowboys 21.
Florio's take: If the Cowboys spot the Falcons 23 points, the Falcons won't let them back into it. And with their only non-flex visit to Sunday Night Football, the Falcons aren't about to stumble against an inferior team.
Florio's pick: Falcons 31, Cowboys 20.
Eagles at Saints
MDS's take: The Saints have probably already run out of chances to turn their season around, and the Eagles are rapidly running out of chances, too. But the Saints' defense is so weak that Michael Vick can't help but have a better game on Monday night, and the Eagles will win in New Orleans.
MDS's pick: Eagles 31, Saints 21.
Florio's take: For a team that may not be making it to the playoffs, delivering a knockout punch to the Eagles on national TV in the Superdome could be the next best thing. Maybe a certain T-shirt will be making another appearance; at least ESPN isn't regulated by the FCC.
Florio's pick: Saints 27, Eagles 24.

Consumer Reports magazine isn't trying to incite a riot, I don't think. Yet the leading consumer publication is trying to light a fire under consumers.
Its September report on America's overpriced, under-performing $3 trillion health care system is as concise as it is irate. You can almost hear the expletives deleted between the lines.
"This country's exorbitant medical costs mean that we all pay too much for health insurance," the report states. "Overpriced care also translates into fewer raises for American workers. And to to top it off, we're not even getting the best care for out money."
Wake up and smell the *$@!*coffee, America!
The report doesn't really tell us things we don't know. Your health insurance doesn't always protect you, it says. Not exactly a revelation for most of us. It gives a spine-chilling example of patients hit with unexpected costs. No one bothers to tell a woman receiving a heart transplant at a hospital in her insurance carrier's network that the surgical teams at the hospital wasn't in network. A nasty $70,000 surprise. I would need another transplant after that.

Greg McElroy won't be part of the New York Jets' quarterback picture this season.
After being waived Saturday, the 2011 seventh-round draft pick will fly to Cincinnati on Monday. McElroy is "destined for the Bengals' practice squad," a person who spoke to the QB told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Sunday.
McElroy released a statement Sunday on Twitter, thanking the Jets and their fans while commending general manager John Idzik on the "remarkable vision" he has set for the organization this year.
Other notable practice-squad signings:
Scott Tolzien, Green Bay Packers quarterback: The Packers' new No. 3 quarterback spent the past two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, who just happen to be Green Bay's Week 1 opponent. Coincidence? Probably not. The Packers also managed to keep athletic seventh-round wide receiver Charles Johnson on their practice squad.
Thaddeus Lewis, Buffalo Bills quarterback: As is the case with Tolzien, Lewis effectively is the Bills' No. 3 quarterback after passing through waivers unclaimed. Coach Doug Marrone plans to determine Wednesday whether EJ Manuel or Jeff Tuel will start the season opener versus the Patriots. Manuel returned to practice Sunday.
Ricardo Lockette, Chicago Bears wide receiver: The perennial offseason star caught 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's eye in non-contact practices, but never came close to making the 49ers' final roster.
Greg Salas, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver: Salas shined in preseason action, but coach Chip Kelly opted to go with former Oregon star Jeff Maehl as the Eagles' fifth receiver.
Robert Lester, Carolina Panthers safety: Though Lester went undrafted out of Alabama this year, the Panthers' own website viewed him as an option to start after offseason training activities. His relative lack of speed and athleticism caught up to him once the pads came on in August.
Matt Furstenburg, Baltimore Ravens: An undrafted "move" tight end out of Maryland, Fursternburg caught the coaching staff's eye in training camp, but the tight end lost his roster spot to Dallas Clark.

A nod to today's second Obama inauguration: Fun White House facts
Our nation's 44th President took his second oath of office this week, but Barack Obama is actually the 43rd United States President to reside in the compound at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. in Washington, D.C.
Here are some tidbits about the federal government complex formally known as the White House, or "The People's House":
Although President George Washington selected the site of the White House, construction took eight years. President John Adams and his wife marked the first First Family to reside there.
The White House Complex now includes three primary buildings, outdoor gardens, and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Specific quarters include the Executive Residence, where the First Family resides; the West Wing, the location of the Oval Office, Cabinet Room, and Roosevelt Room; and the East Wing, which houses the offices of the First Lady and the White House Social Secretary, and also provides public access to the State Rooms of the Executive Residence for tours and social events.
Colorado provided the 2012 White House Christmas Tree. It was a 73-foot Engelmann spruce from the White River National Forest located 40 miles east of Meeker.
And according to the White House curator's office…
There are 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and six levels in the Residence. There are also 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators.
At various times in history, the White House has been known as the "President's Palace," the "President's House," and the "Executive Mansion." President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901.
Presidential Firsts while in office… President James Polk (1845-49) was the first President to have his photograph taken… President Theodore Roosevelt (1901-09) was not only the first President to ride in an automobile, but also the first President to travel outside the country when he visited Panama… President Franklin Roosevelt (1933-45) was the first President to ride in an airplane.
The White House kitchen is able to serve dinner to as many as 140 guests and hors d'oeuvres to more than 1,000.
The White House requires 570 gallons of paint to cover its outside surface.

Health Problems Unique to Chickens Raised for Meat
Some health problems are unique to broilers, the strains of chickens that have been specifically designed by people for meat production. Backyard flock keepers can purchase day-old broiler chicks and raise them, usually up to 6 to 12 weeks of age, to supply home-grown meat for a family or small farm business.
Using intense selective breeding, poultry companies have created modern meat-type chicken strains that are vastly different from heritage breeds of poultry, such as their Plymouth Rock and Cornish breed ancestors. Modern broilers grow three times faster than old-fashioned breeds of chickens, and they need to eat only half of the feed to reach the same weight.
Explosive growth and super feed efficiency comes at price, however. Broilers grow too fast for their own good. Bones, joints, and internal organs barely (or can't) keep up with the rapid growth, and the result is a variety of these broiler breakdowns.
Ascites: A broiler's heart may fail trying to pump blood to a rapidly growing body. The failing heart enlarges, and straw-colored fluid fills up the abdomen and lungs; this fluid build-up is called ascites. Birds with ascites may pant, even in cool weather, and their combs may have a bluish tinge.
To lower the incidence of ascites, make sure your housing for broilers is well-ventilated. Dust and high ammonia levels increase cases of ascites in broiler flocks.
Leg problems: Broilers can grow at a faster rate than their immature skeletal systems can support, leading to painful twisting or bowing of the legs or spine. Birds that are unwilling to get around because of leg pain or are unable to move well due to leg and back deformities may die of starvation, thirst, or trampling by flock mates.
Sudden death syndrome: Healthy-looking broilers can flip over and die suddenly, expiring on their backs with a brief flurry of wing-flapping. You may think you've witnessed a fatal chicken heart attack. This event, known as sudden death syndrome, or flip over disease, is most commonly seen in broiler chickens between 2 and 4 weeks of age. Scientists don't understand the exact cause.
With a functional backyard lifespan of just a few months, broilers make terrible pet chickens. Broiler growers should be prepared to perform humane euthanasia for broken-down broilers.
Slowing that breakneck pace of growth, just a little, especially during the first three weeks of the growing period, can reduce the chances of ascites, leg problems, or sudden death syndrome in a batch of broilers. Feed restriction is the main method that you can use to slow growth. Here are two simple options for a broiler feed-restriction program:
Option 1: Feed meals twice a day, rather than offering feed free-choice. Give the birds enough food so that they consume it all within three hours. No snacking between meals.
Option 2: When the broilers are a week old, remove all feed from the pen every evening and put it back in the morning, 12 hours later. Do this every day until the birds are ready to be processed.
Other feed restriction methods, such as reduced-lighting programs and skip-a-day feeding, are more complicated and less practical in backyard settings. Whatever feed restriction program you use, make sure fresh water is always available. One last suggestion: Finely ground mash feed slows the greedy birds down a little, so it's a better choice than pelleted feed for broilers.

Pop star and singing competition judge Britney Spears is a Thousand Oaks homeowner, public records now show.
The property came on the market in August at $8.5 million and was withdrawn from the Multiple Listing Service within a month. A withdrawal is a tactic sometimes used to hide celebrity home purchases. The sales price was not disclosed.
The Mediterranean-style house, built in 2010, is in the Lake Sherwood area. Features include pocket doors, limestone and oak floors, beamed ceilings, two offices, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a home theater/bonus room, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 8,456 square feet of living space.
The 1.42 acres of grounds contain lawns, an infinity pool, a rose garden, an outdoor fireplace and a barbecue center with covered patios. There is a five-car garage plus an enclosed space to park the golf cart.
Spears, who turns 31 on Dec. 2, released her first album, "Baby One More Time," in 1999 and went on to become one of the country's bestselling recording artists. She released her seventh studio album, "Femme Fatale," last year and got engaged to her former agent, Jason Trawick. Spears joined "The X Factor" as a judge this year.
Jordan Cohen of Re/Max Olson & Associates was the listing agent, according to the MLS.

In January, we kicked off Destination San Diego, a series that explores all the outdoor activities available in our area.
We began with a look at popular walking paths, and this week, we move to some of San Diego's top places to ride bikes. Whether you're a leisurely rider or prefer the excitement of off-road trails, this beginner's guide has something for every style and level.
Of course, with so many neighborhoods and square miles in the county, this list isn't comprehensive. It's a starting point for anyone looking to vary an exercise routine or try something new. Thanks to the county's growing cycling community, you can ride almost anywhere.
"San Diego is a great place for riding," said Tim Ingersoll, an avid local cyclist. "It has great climate and there's tremendous variety of places in the county you can go, whether you've got a road bike, mountain bike or beach cruiser."
Tim Ingersoll's tips for riding
Bring locks: Bikes are easy to steal, so if you plan to stop for lunch or step away from it for a while, make sure to bring a lock to keep it safe.
Park a few blocks away: The good thing about having a bike is you can look for parking in less crowded areas and ride to your destination.
Check your air pressure: Your air will deteriorate every week if you ride, so be sure to air up your tires before heading out.
If you're a true beginner
Sail Bay
While many tourists like to rent bikes and ride along the Mission Beach Boardwalk, Mission Bay's Sail Bay is a much more tranquil environment.
Where is it? Sail Bay is accessible via the Mission Boulevard or Ingraham Street bridges.
What it's like: The area has wide sidewalks, lovely views and cool breezes. There's less of a crowd than on the oceanfront boardwalk (which means fewer people to accidentally bump into). Sail Bay is U-shaped with many entry points, so you can start from anywhere and ride as long or as little as you like.
Parking: Street spots in that area are very difficult to find, especially on weekends. There are some near the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, but your best bet is to try along the more residential Ingraham Street entrance.
Pit stops: You'll find drinking fountains and restrooms near Fanuel Street Park. You can also grab some lunch at some of the nearby hotels like the Catamaran Resort & Spa. If you're looking for cheap bites, drinks or sunblock, head to Mission Boulevard, where options seem endless.
Watch out for: Sunbathers, slow-walking toddlers, dogs.
The next step: Those looking for a more challenging, less crowded biking experience will find it at Fiesta Island. That's where triathletes like to train for speed and endurance, but anyone's welcome to ride around the approximately 5-mile loop.
Level: Easy
Day tripping
Coast Highway 101
It's always fun to drive along this coastal route, but you'll find even more charm if you explore these beach towns on a bicycle.
Where is it? Located off Interstate 5, you can access it via Solana Beach, Cardiff, Encinitas, Leucadia or Carlsbad.
What it's like: Though the Coast Highway corridor is bustling with car traffic, there are designated bike lanes and paths, depending on where you ride. The terrain is a combination of street and bike paths, but the coastal location makes for a breezy ride.
Parking: There are some state beaches where you can pay to park for the afternoon. There are metered spots along Coast Highway and some free neighborhood spots off various side streets.
Pit stops: There's everything from vegan restaurants and smoothie places to cafes and bike shops to keep you energized and moving.
Watch out for: You'll be riding next to cars going about 40 miles per hour, but also watch out for the parked cars opening doors.
Level: Intermediate
A local favorite
Silver Strand Bikeway
We mentioned this in the walking guide, but this trail that goes from Coronado to Imperial Beach is also a favorite of cyclists of all levels.
Where is it? Head over the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, near the Hotel del Coronado.
What it's like: Depending on where you enter, it can be anywhere from 7 to 11 miles each way. Most riders begin at Glorietta Boulevard and Pomona Avenue in Coronado and finish in Imperial Beach. Along the flat route, you'll see the ocean, yachts, parks and wildlife from the nearby refuge.
Parking: There are spots at either end. Coronado tends to get busy, so you may have to drive around to find free spots.
Pit stops: There are restrooms and water fountains at Glorietta Bay Park and Silver Strand State Beach. Bring plenty of water and snacks, as there aren't many places to stop along the way.
Watch out for: Cars (a big part of the trail is very close to the busy state Route 75); cyclists; bird droppings.
The next step: If you want to add more miles, start out at the Ferry Landing Marketplace.
Level: Easy to difficult
A protected path
San Diego River
This centrally located route is good for both newbies and experienced riders because a good portion of it is protected from traffic.
Where is it? It technically begins in Ocean Beach and, with some road traffic, goes out to Mission Valley.
What it's like: The mostly flat course can be anywhere from 5 to 20 miles, depending on how far you go. There are some traffic-heavy areas around Pacific Highway and you'll be riding under bridges, so be aware of your surroundings. Still, there's a surprising amount of wildlife to see, especially in the spring. For beginners, it's best to stop at the end of the path at Pacific Highway or at the start of Mission Valley.
Parking: There are free spots along West Point Loma Boulevard in Ocean Beach. You can also park at the Old Town Transportation Center and ride east or west.
Pit stops: There's not much from Ocean Beach until you reach Old Town, so make sure you have water and snacks. Once you reach the busier streets, you can stop at the various shopping malls for bathroom or food breaks.
Simplify it: Real newbies can pick up the paved trail by Mimi's Cafe and ride along the river.
Watch out for: You may encounter some homeless groups under some of the bridges. Also be on the lookout for squirrels, stray cats and dogs, and walkers.
Level: Easy to difficult
Into the mountains
Sorrento Valley
If you're new to mountain biking, this is a good place to start because it's nice and wide and not too far from civilization.
Where is it? From the east, you can start at Black Mountain Road. From the west, you'll find an easy entrance by North of the Border Bike Shop on Sorrento Valley Boulevard.
What it's like: We're not talking about the paved path off Highway 56 — this is all canyons. You'll be on a fire road, or a double track, which means the trail is wide. The terrain can be rugged, but you'll find surprising spots along the way, like a waterfall and plenty of nature.
Parking: There's parking by the bike shop as well as at some community parks, like Canyonside and Peñasquitos Creek.
Pit stop: A good place to rest is at the waterfall. But if you're looking for services, you'll find restrooms and fountains at the aforementioned parks.
Watch out for: Dog and horse poop, poison oak, hikers, fellow bikers. It gets hot, so bring more water than you think you'll need.
The next step: Once you feel comfortable on the main trail, you can explore some of the narrower, single track paths along the way.
Level: Intermediate to difficult
Hit the city
Adams Avenue
If you prefer riding in a more urban setting, stick to Adams Avenue. There's not as much traffic as in some of the trendy midtown areas (like 30th Street), but it still offers bike-friendly scenery and stops.
Where is it? Begin at either Park Boulevard or in Kensington.
What it's like: There's a bike lane next to a road that has lots of stoplights, road signs and buses. You'll see congestion in Normal Heights and again by 30th Street, but the roads are wide and drivers here tend to be bike-friendly.
Parking: Lots of free spots along Adams Avenue as well as neighborhood streets north and south of Adams.
Pit stops: Along with coffee shops, bars and a bike shop, one of the most cycle-friendly establishments, Blind Lady Ale House, is located along this road.
Level: Easy to intermediate
Bike events
Why ride alone when you can attend one of these cycling events?
Community Joy Ride: 11:30 a.m. Saturday. This free 9-mile ride is open to all levels. It begins at Leucadia Roadside Park and ends in Encinitas.
Gran Fondo San Diego: April 14. A road race that's either 34, 56 or 105 miles around San Diego. You pick.
Bike to Work Day: May 17. Start practicing now to join this nationally recognized event.
CicloSDias: Aug. 11. A day to walk, ride or skate along San Diego streets with performances and shopping specials available.

At TimeOut this week, we're really getting into the spirit of things on The Hobbit front. The first movie of the trilogy has its world premiere next week - oh you heard? - and then it's opening in all its 3D 48-frames-per-second glory on December 13.
I'm heading off to Wellywood for the occasion. It's a pilgrimage I've made before, the films of Sir Peter Jackson having loomed large in my cushy so-called job as a freeloading entertainment journalist.
Must say, I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie - not just because there's a chance of adding to my much-envied collection of mouse pads and key rings marking my attendance at previous Jackson premieres.
But because it would be good to finally see what all the fuss has been about. Make that fusses. The troubles the production has faced and survived are well documented.
The Hobbit has had a rough ride, right from when it became an inevitable prequel after the mega-success of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Yes, that previous franchise was the one which really put - warning, cliche alert - New Zealand movie-making on the map. Trouble is, once you are on the map you are easily found, whether it's by Hollywood studios or Australian actor unions wanting to maximise their opportunities.
Or overseas journalists picking some easy holes in an aligned tourist campaign labouring under a catchphrase that doesn't quite stack up. Or by zealous organisations like the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is behind the latest shitstorm to batter the production just this week.
Boy, just wait until PETA hears most of the vast dwarf beards and wigs are made of yak hair. But it may well be that the yaks will be getting their frizzy fibres returned, with thanks and a generous residual payment at the close of production.
But of course, I'm really looking forward to seeing just how that little book has become three big movies. It has an ensemble which looks like it could drink those Fellowship of the Ring blokes under a very low table.
So, I'm betting The Hobbit will be a whole lot funnier than the Lord of the Rings. Mainly because I've spent much of the past week chuckling at publicity pictures of The Hobbit's Company of Dwarves, who have, among their yak-wigged number, some well-known New Zealand faces. One of the dwarves has a bit of Orc axe permanently stuck in his head, which is probably not something that J.R.R. Tolkien purists will appreciate.
But after the dramas of getting The Hobbit on screen, we movie fans who have been looking forward to this most expected journey could do with a decent laugh about now.

Valentine's Day is traditionally a time for love to be found but it's not just hearts that are stolen on the most romantic day of the year.
Research reveals February 14 is one of the worst days of the year for theft, with a nine per cent increase in home burglaries compared to an average day.
Amidst the flurry of gift-giving and grand gestures by lovers, opportunistic thieves take advantage as couples head out for a romance-filled evening, leaving their properties unoccupied.
According to home security specialist Yale, burglars will be on the lookout for those revealing signs of a vacant home, such as curtains left open at night, no lighting, or no cars in the driveway.
But the company says some simple tips could help you avoid the heartache of a house break-in this Valentine's Day.
Firstly, don't make it easy for thieves. The majority of burglars access properties through a front door or open window, so make sure these are secured with a British Standard lock, which is recommended by most home insurers.
Additionally, good visual deterrents such as a home alarm or simple CCTV system – even if they are just dummy models – can make your property less appealing and discourage burglars if your property looks unoccupied.
Even better, you can create the illusion of an occupied house by using lights with inbuilt timers and set them to come on at specific times.

A bomb killed at least 53 Shiite pilgrims near the southern port city of Basra on Saturday. The attack was carried out on the last of the 40 days of Arbaeen, when hundreds of thousands of Shiite pilgrims from Iraq and abroad visit the Iraqi city of Karbala, as well as other holy sites.
Saturday's blast occurred near the town of Zubair, Ayad al-Emarah, a spokesman for the governor of Basra province, told the AP. According to Al-Emarah, the blast was caused either by a suicide attacker or a roadside bomb. But an Iraqi military intelligence officer said it was a roadside bomb.
Basra hospital received 53 killed and 137 injured after the explosion, said Dr. Riyadh Abdul-Amir, the head of Basra Health Directorate. According to him, some of the wounded were in serious condition.

NSW Government
Railway Mobile Coverage
The Turnbull Government is investing $12 million to deliver reliable mobile phone services for thousands of commuters along the Central Coast rail line in New South Wales (NSW).
Expressions of Interest are now being called to upgrade the mobile telecommunications infrastructure along the 60km stretch of rail line between Wyong and Hornsby.
Minister Fifield said:
"Mobile drop outs and blackspots are incredibly frustrating for commuters along the Central Coast Line, and the Turnbull Government is delivering on its election commitment to fix the problem."
The total package will deliver improved mobile coverage as well as provide Wi-Fi at stations for up to 30,000 Central Coast commuters who travel on Sydney Trains and NSW Trainlink services every day.
The total funding commitment of $16 million includes $4 million from the NSW Government.
Federal Member for Robertson Lucy Wicks MP said the investment was an important step forward in supporting thousands of local, hard-working commuters.
Mrs Wicks said:
"When I'm at train stations like Gosford and Woy Woy listening to commuters early in the morning, many of them are asking about the progress of this vital commitment from the Coalition Government. Today's announcement is good news for commuters"
The Expression of Interest will be open until November 2017 and a formal tender process will commence by the end of the year.
Minister Constance said:
"This is an important milestone in delivering better services to central coast commuters. This is part of a broader plan to deliver upgrades to NSW commuters, and details of train station Wi-Fi hotspot upgrades will be made available in due course."
The NSW Government will be announcing a further Expression of Interest to install Wi-Fi at stations along the Central Coast rail line.

On June 2nd, Governor Kitzhaber toured the Gales Creek area in the Tillamook State Forest. The Creek, which is surrounded by buffers newly classified as High Value Conservation Areas, is also home to several recent stream restoration projects. Oregon Department of Forestry staff and partner groups lauded the stream enhancement work, which includes extensive log placement to improve fish passage and habitat, but the star of the tour was the Conservation Area:
"Conservation areas are a critical component of healthy, well-managed public forests," said Governor Kitzhaber. "They support our great coastal salmon runs and produce diverse wildlife and plant habitat. They provide clean water, carbon storage, and recreation values that are hard to replace elsewhere. I'm inspired and encouraged to see the Department, the Board of Forestry, and stakeholders working hard to sustainably manage and conserve these important areas for Oregonians."
There are now over 140,000 acres of High Value Conservation Areas designated across Oregon's 800,000 acres of State Forest land. Over 100,000 acres are in the Tillamook & Clatsop State Forests, where forest health is crucial to providing habitat for coho salmon, marbled murrelets, steelhead, northern spotted owls, chinook salmon, red tree voles, and numerous other species. These lands also provide clean drinking water for over 400,000 Oregonians along with diverse recreation opportunities to coastal and Portland metro residents alike.
The Governor emphasized that the best available science would be used to inform the management of these lands and that carbon sequestration is an important role for these forests going forward. The ongoing balanced management of these heavily-logged lands remains a challenge, but the Governor expressed optimism: "We are using the best available science and strong community partnerships to grow healthy forests and guarantee their benefits reach our children and beyond."
Still, despite the Governor's leadership in creating these unprecedented Conservation Areas, the future of these lands is in doubt. Sawmill owners and some county commissioners have proposed that the lands be harvested as though they were private industrial timber lands. As the Board of Forestry writes a new plan to manage these forests, we will work hard to ensure that the best available science and public interest are at the forefront of the conversation.

Softly her fainting head she laid
Upon her Saviour's breast;
Her Saviour call'd her soul away
And laid her flesh to rest.
The poetic epitaph is adapted from "The Death of Moses" by Isaac Watts, whose hymns were a popular source for epitaphs in the 19th century. Compare the version on Charity's gravestone to the original:
Softly his fainting head he lay
Upon his Maker's breast;
His Maker kiss'd his soul away,
And laid his flesh to rest.

- Page 1 Nintendo 3DS XL Review
- Page 2 Handling and Firmware Review
- Page 3 The Verdict Review
- A more immersive big-screen experience
- Makes 3D more effective and more practical
- More comfortable than the original 3DS
- Great games, and easy and fun to use
- Big screen spoilt by low resolution
- Battery life still not great
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £169.00
- 4.88 inch upper and 4.18 inch lower screens
- 3D upper screen and touch sensitive lower screen
- Larger and heavier than normal 3DS
After the DS Lite, the DSi and the DSi XL, it was a no-brainer that Nintendo wasn't going to leave the 3DS alone for long. The first generation of any new Nintendo handheld is never the definitive article – remember the hideously clunky first DS? – and later versions always bring enhancements, whether bigger, better screens, new features or just a more solid and usable design, as was the case with the DS Lite or the Game Boy Advance SP.
Going XL
No prizes for guessing which route Nintendo has taken with the 3DS XL. This is the extra-large version of the 3DS, bumping up the dimensions from 134mm by 74mm by 21mm to 156 x 93 x 22mm. It's no longer pocket-sized, unless we're talking combat trouser pockets, while the weight goes up by nearly 100g, from 241g to 339g. However, this brings with it a range of benefits, the most obvious being a dramatic increase in screen size. Where the existing 3DS had a 3.58-inch 16:9 3D top screen and a 3.02-inch touch-sensitive bottom screen, the 3DS XL goes to 4.88 inches and 4.18 inches respectively.
This upsizing has two major good effects and one, well, not quite so good one. The screens are bright and sharp with rich colours, and those extra inches makes gaming on the 3DS XL as immersive as it is on the PS Vita, which goes slightly bigger with its 5-inch OLED touchscreen. Just as importantly, it also makes the 3DS's USP – 3D – that bit more practical. The problem with the 3DS's 3D screen has always been keeping your head and the 3DS in the right position in relation to each other. Shift either by half an inch, and you found yourself in the land of double vision.
The 3DS XL doesn't alleviate this problem entirely, but there's a little more margin for error, and the result is that you're more inclined to play 3DS games with – shock, horror! – the 3D slider turned up. If this is an improvement in games like Super Mario 3D Land, it's a revelation in Kid Icarus: Uprising, which finally seems like the widescreen blockbuster we were always promised. And once again, size matters. 3D always seemed slightly wasted on the 3DS's cramped screen. On the 3DS XL, it's given room to breathe.
Bigger = Better?
However, there is one downside. While the screen size has increased radically, the pixel count hasn't. The 3DS XL's screens have the same 800 x 240 and 320 x 240 resolutions as the original 3DS, with the top screen resolution halved to 400 x 240 pixels per eye in 3D games. This doesn't compare well with the 960 x 544 resolution of the PS Vita, let alone the 960 x 640 resolution of the 3.5-inch retina display in the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod Touch. You can see every pixel in the average 3DS game, and it can't match PS Vita for contrast, clarity or detail.
Up to a point, this doesn't matter. The best-looking games on the 3DS, like Super Mario 3D Land and Resident Evil: Revelations still look great on the bigger screen. What's more, the handheld's ARM processor and DMP PICA200 GPU probably aren't capable of delivering graphics with the kinds of surface effects and detail that would make the most of a higher resolution, which is where PS Vita's ARM Cortex A9 and quad-core PowerVR SGX543MP4 GPU come in.
Nintendo could arguably have upgraded processors and used the overhead to either render 3DS graphics to a higher resolution or upscale, but here there would have been cost implications. All the same, that screen can be merciless in exposing the shortcomings of some 3DS titles, and with the PS Vita and iOS and Android devices getting more graphically intensive titles, games on the 3DS XL just don't look that cutting edge.

"Criminals" for a Stable Climate
Behind the scenes: to stop a tar sands pipeline, the climate justice movement begins civil disobedience on a grand scale.
"Ordinarily, a person leaving a courtroom with a conviction behind him would wear a somber face. But I left with a smile. I knew that I was a convicted criminal, but I was proud of my crime."
~Martin Luther King, Jr., March 22, 1956
More than 150 people have been arrested outside of the White House for protesting a pipeline that would pump oil from Canada's tar sands to U.S. refineries—and that's just since Saturday. Over the next two weeks, some 2,000 people have pledged to join them, in what is expected to be the largest act of civil disobedience in the climate justice movement's history.

StormWhisper Titan Wise Men Distracted Monday 07/08/2006, 01:52
You rarely see these posts, but I want to give a shout out to CDS Pouic Evo (Well I'm guessing it's Pouic, CDS is his guild and well we all know what Evo is). Anyway this guy is probably one of the most fair players in this game. When I've EVOed with him even in a tourney, if one of his characters beats one of mine that had the 6 Pillz, He goes out of his way to give me a second win.
You see very few players willing to go that far, and for that I'd like to give Pouic my personal thanks, and encourage others to follow his example of fair play above and beyond the call of duty.
