Under the leadership of Dianne Roberts, Minimbah tailors educational programs to the differences, strengths and interests of each young child and utilises unique transition programs.School: Minimbah Aboriginal Pre and Primary School is an Independent facility located in the Armidale area of NSW. Ninety-five per cent of the 85 preschool and 85 primary school students identify as Aboriginal. Many families live in poor conditions with a budget well below the average weekly income. The local community has various social issues, including: poor nutrition, alcoholism and substance abuse, dysfunctional family units, gambling and health issues. Coordinator: Dianne Roberts History: In 1971, Mrs Dianne Roberts, OAM, became the first Aboriginal Director/Principal appointed to the just-built Minimbah Pre-school. During the early 1990's Minimbah expanded with a Primary school on site as well. One motivation for opening the school was the number of local parents who felt their children were not ready for mainstream schooling due to hearing and speech disorders, often due to Otitis Media. Mrs Roberts continues to run Minimbah in all its capacities to the present day. Minimbah APPS has been a long-term active Dare to Lead member.Programs/Strategies:
Specialist programs in place include:
Literacy Support: There is a particular focus on diagnosing potential problem areas, as well as encouraging critical literacy, problem solving and the confidence and ability to put their own ideas in writing.
Indigenous Languages workshops - community members teach four main languages: Dunghutti, Anewan, Gamilaraay and GumbaynggirStronger Families Project: Numerous support structures are aimed at strengthening the family unit. Every child's parent or parents is encouraged to participate in the education of their child. The school also visits the homes of participants to encourage and advise on patterns of care that best support early learning, and to build the capacity for the mother/caregiver in that task.Twice weekly there are playgroup sessions for mothers and their children aged from newborn to three years old. During this time mothers come together and support each other though discussion and group activities. A team of staff, the head of which is a fully - trained midwife, offers advice and support and if necessary referral to other community services available in Armidale. Another objective of the playgroup is to take the opportunity to recognise any childhood illnesses among the children. Otitis media is common. Minimbah staff sit down with students who have been behaving in a negative way (and often their family members) and try to find creative solutions to what is going wrong in the classroom.The School has student groups which perform at community and civic functions. Students also visit local aged care homes about twice a year to perform. Each year the Primary group goes to Sydney to Currambena School to perform in the Reconciliation ceremony there. Singing and performing encourages Aboriginal children who have hearing deficits to listen carefully and they listen and perform better. School readiness: "It's important that parents and the teacher from the preschool go along to open days and meet the teachers for next year," Mrs Roberts says. "You need to give parents the opportunity and time to talk about things they want to ask. Let the school know about disabilities or any difficulties the child may have."
"For the children, we have pre-school activities that may be similar to the first year of schooling. We get them up to date with their numbers, they learn to write their names, learn to read their names. We work on things like getting their own shoes on and off. These are the little things that can open up doors for children so they won't feel outside the group."Outcomes: "It was when I realised that I could set my own rules and boundaries that the fear of how to approach the whole program started to subside and I became more comfortable with my own decisions about the structure of how the school should be run," Mrs Roberts says. "Maximising the potential of Indigenous students presents a constant challenge to educators. Minimbah's philosophy is to provide an environment to allow each child's capabilities to flourish. Our process of individualization allows children to develop strengths to overcome weakness at their own pace."
"When we look at the culture side of it, we start by looking at every child as an individual. If we don't do that we put them into little groups and say, 'This is a group of Aboriginal students'. It is not just encouraging them to learn an Aboriginal language, or to do a painting in black, red and yellow. It is treating them as individuals and introducing cultural perspectives from that angle."When they first come into our three-year-old group here I like the children to find their own space, to find their own way. Let them run freely, let them enjoy the play, let them enjoy the activities.""But while that is happening we watch them. We discover the sort of child they are. We identify things like speech difficulties. Then we give them knowledge, skill and positive attitudes so the students become responsible citizens.""Our programs meet the individual needs in a safe and caring and productive environment. Some children might learn freely by looking at pictures. Most learn by touching, feeling, experiencing. There is a vast array of things that children can do.""If we value Aboriginal culture and integrate it into the curriculum it will give the students the best of both worlds. The next task for us is to get parents more involved in the school system, and this is a big job," Mrs Roberts says.More information: (02) 6772 4853 or www.minimbah.org

Partitions for multiple Linux Distros
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I realise that this is a personal choice and so therefore would expect very different views on the subject.

A /home & swap partition you share between all distro's. Then +/- 5 GB (I would say 7 GB is better though, because of the space log files can take) for each distro.** Registered Linux User # 393717 and proud of it ** Check out www.zenwalk.org
** Zenwalk 2.8 - Xfce 4.4 beta 2- 18.104.22.168 kernel = Slack on steroids! **

So you have 1 OS on the machine that takes up the entire hard drive?
You could Download Knoppix from www.distrowatch.com and fire up qtparted and resize Suse to whatever you want.
Personally I resized my 120 GB hd into a bunch of 13-14 GB partitions that all share the same swap.
I use Suse grub to boot all of my distros. You can make a separate /home. I don't do this so I can't recommend a HOWTO.
For more info on multi-booting, do a search for "multi-boot" on this site, look for my username, tons of info.How to know if you are a geek.

Women of Faith Building Community by Lisa Marzilli
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday
Last year on IWD, listeners were introduced to "Women of Faith Building Community". It was hate speech which prompted the formation of the group, after a right-wing blogger fired up his readers when he wrote on his website that a local Muslim youth retreat was really an "al-Qaeda linked, jihad training camp for children". The subsequent hate mail and death threats ultimately forced the Muslim American Society to move the event. WMNF's Lisa Marzilli sat down with members of the group one year later…
(ACT …"so quiet?") That's Pamela Brown, who lives in Temple Terrace with her husband Warren, pastor of the United Church of Christ. Last year the couple was so disturbed to see such little local news coverage of the anti-Muslim incident that they decided to invite the organizer of the retreat, Jennifer Valko, to speak to their congregation…(ACT …"out of that")
Jennifer Valko…(ACT …"that wall down")
Nancy Greenlees said groups like Women of Faith are a defense against the misinformation and hate speech against Muslims found on the Web and in the media today…(ACT …"this bad information")
When WMNF first spoke to Women of Faith, they were discussing how they could best focus their time and talents. One year later the group has been actively involved in several community outreach organizations including Metropolitan Ministries and the food cooperative, SHARE. Members are currently in training with Hands on Tampa Bay – an affiliate of the United Way.
Some women have also joined with a coalition of Muslim organizations participating in a rolling fast in solidarity with Dr. Sami Al-Arian, who's been on a hunger strike for weeks, to protest his inhumane treatment and the additional sentence he received for refusing to testify before a grand jury against the Muslim charities that helped finance his think tank while he was a professor at USF.
Pilar Saad, a teacher and activist in the Muslim community, is a long time friend and supporter of Sami Al-Arian. She says the fast echoes the Women of Faith mission statement and is needed to bring attention to Al-Arian's persecution - which she believes is both religious and political…(ACT…"to this issue")
One year later, there is total consensus that Women of Faith has exceeded all expectations and changed these members' lives for the better. Again, Pilar Saad… (ACT…"in that direction")
Pamela Brown…(ACT…"be peacemakers")

Clubs and Societies Report: Norbury and Roston WI
Posted: February 21, 2014|
THE Ashbourne Ark is high and dry with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside.
Many in other parts of the country, who are currently deep in flood water, would probably give anything to have an ark, as in the familiar bible story.
Jane, our speaker for the evening, gave members a very informative and interesting evening showing the work they do at the Ark. A massive building project has progressed, with continued maintenance, painting, up grading and cleaning etc.
Their routine includes: Managing teams of volunteers, attending local shows, having 'Open Days', spreading the word about their work and of course, much needed fund raising.
Re-homing the cats and dogs wherever possible is always a happy outcome but for those that have to stay in the Ark their care and health is continually checked by local vets. Full and part-time staff ensure the cats and dogs in their care have use of the different exercise areas, plenty of walks, comfortable chairs to listen to the radio, quiet rooms to reduce stress but no television. Dog behaviour therapy is available as is a fun and agility course.
Photographs of cute kittens and playful cats in all colours and sizes, puppies full of mischief and of every breed, reminded members that if they had any spare time to help, or if family and friends can care for a new pet, please go and see the animals in the Ark.
Delicious refreshments were served and the hotly contested competition for a fruit or vegetable animal was judged by Jane.
The March meeting on Tuesday 4th at 7.30pm,in the village hall, will be a talk by the Derbyshire Group for Safe and Sound.
New members and visitors will be made very welcome.

Recipe by KITTY1960
"A very quick and easy crowd pleaser! Spaghetti tossed with clams, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan. The kids will love it, adults too! I like to serve with a crisp white wine, a tossed green salad, and garlic bread."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (16 ounce) package
uncooked spaghetti
2 tablespoons
olive oil
2 cloves
garlic, chopped
2 (6.5 ounce) cans
chopped clams with juice
1/2 cup
finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
fresh parsley, for garnish
Excellent dish; this has been passed down for generations in my family. The secret to this recipe is adding your own personal flavor! Some of my favorite additions are (not all at once): Red Wine (makes it a bit more moist and adds unbelievable flavor), several small cherry tomatoes, & White Wine. I also like to saute the sauce as instructed, but then add the noodles to the skillet and toss while still heating. This seems to infuse the flavor into the noodles well. Mangia!
I'm giving this 3 stars, because it's pretty basic (but still tasty). I do realize that is the whole point, really. But, I agree with others, I think it could use a bit more garlic (even though I did add more at the suggestion of others here). Maybe 3 big cloves? I also added a splash of white wine. I also think I might add some cracked pepper next time. Thanks so much for a great change!! I would like to add that my 7-year old daughter thought it was a 5-star recipe!
34 Ratings
This was fantastic, but we made it with modifications: added 4 TB butter with the olive oil, increased the garlic to 6 cloves, added 1/2 of white wine, added a dash of italian seasoning and red pepper flakes and used angel hair instead of spaghetti. It tasted like a restaurant, will make again and again.
Awesome. I made the following changes. Used one TB of olive oil and one TB of unsalted butter. I dissolved a couple of anchovies in the oil before I added the clams. I also used a TON of garlic.
Wow, so quick and simple to make! I added some red pepper flakes for a little extra bite. Also I added bacon and deglazed it with red wine. My boyfriend absolutely loved this dish and always asks me to make it.
I had company for supper and everyone liked it. Only change I'd make is to add more clams and more garlic.
This was very bland to me and to everyone who tried it..I made some light alfredo sauce and stirred it in, and then it tasted wonderful:)
Loved this recipe! I used 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 light butter, TONS of garlic, and a splash of white wine. I tossed in some grape tomatoes and heated until they split. This recipe is a keeper!

DANVILLE – As the Boone County Fair opens for its 80th annual event one thing has changed – the kettle corn vendor Kevin Dalton has been told he can't sell it this year at the fair.
"We have checked with the carnival people about the popcorn you sell and Mr. Myers said that if you sold popcorn at the fair that they would pack up and leave. So, I'm sorry that you cannot do it this year. Maybe you can think of something else to do instead," said Boone County Fair President Leona Messer in a letter to Dalton dated July 5, 2013.
Dalton, however, isn't going away quietly.
"I think what they are doing is wrong and I am considering taking legal action against them," Dalton said. "They have banned anyone from selling corn dogs, but allow other vendors to sell hotdogs. That's my point; a corn dog and a hot dog are different. So is kettle corn and popcorn. Why aren't they banning other vendors from selling hot dogs or drinks? I feel as if I am being singled out unfairly."
Both kettle corn and plain popcorn are often available at fairs and festivals.
"I have never had this be an issue with the West Virginia Coal Festival or the Boone County Fair in the past. I have been a local vendor at these events for years," Dalton said.
Most fair officials refused additional comment and said that they must abide by the contract they signed with the carnival company.
Messer said she feels bad about the situation, but has been advised that the fair board must honor the contract this year.
"We will be working hard to find a carnival that doesn't want these types of exclusive food demands in the contract," Messer said. "Finding a reputable carnival that meets the criteria and budget we have has been difficult. People have asked us about the carnival that operates during the WV Coal Festival, and we have inquired with them, but they are always booked during that week. We would love to have more options when it comes to carnival services, but this year this is the only deal we could get, and we must have a carnival at the fair."
The carnival at the fair is Myers Amusements, LLC, located in Mt. Lookout, West Virginia.
Dalton says he has spoken with a lawyer and if the contract is not specific about other food products, like hot dogs and corn dogs or drinks, then he may in fact have a case about kettle corn being a different type of snack than plain popcorn.
"I just think it's wrong for them not to support the local vendors and stand up to these out of town carnival people," he said.
Dalton's wife, Cathy, said one fair official's husband told her to put herself in the fair board president's shoes and think of how difficult it is to find a carnival, something that everybody wants or there would not be a fair.
"I told him to put himself in my situation," she said. "We use the kettle corn business to supplement our income. This winter, Kevin is having surgery on his knees and will miss almost three months work. During that time, he won't get paid. We are relying on this side business to help us out in our time of need."
Dalton's wife post the letter from the fair on her online Facebook page and many posts came in supporting them.
"The board would rather stand by an outside entity than support local Boone County residents," Steeler Queen posted. "They support a group who comes in from out of town, takes your money for a mediocre thrill and then leave to go make another quick buck elsewhere. Stand up and be heard my proud Boone County residents!"
Kathy Justice White posted, "Why does out of town carnival people have the only say in what our fair sells and doesn't sell? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard."
Others posted they may boycott the fair and some even threatened to have picket lines.
The Daltons said they appreciated the support offered to them by the community.
"I would like to thank everyone for supporting us," Cathy Dalton said. "It's times like this that make you realize who your friends are."
Messer said the board is just honoring the contract and has nothing against the Daltons or their kettle corn.
"I like their kettle corn myself," she said. "We just have a contract that gives the carnival company some exclusive rights. We will be looking next year to have a carnival and a contract that doesn't have exclusive food deals in it, but this year our hands are tied and we must honor the contract or else we would not have a carnival."

SMALL-HOLDER farmers' access to finance has remained one of the major obstacles to an agricultural revolution and the speedy eradication of poverty in society.
Uncertainties arising from the agricultural process, such as dependency on rainfall and poor farming systems, have been making lending facilities hesitate to disburse loans to farmers for large-scale investments to boost productivity. A land title is one of the essential prerequisites for loan qualification set by the lending institutions, but which has been denied to most small-holder farmers.
Despite the efforts to formalise land ownership, only a few individuals have benefited because the process has been slow, thus becoming a major factor limiting farmers' capacity to access to finance, which is a necessary component for investment in agriculture. "Unlike business people who could secure finance from lending institutions by just presenting only a business plan, for accessing loans farmers should hold a title deed," said the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) Executive Director Dr Bohela Lunogelo last week.
The tedious and slow process involved in issuing title deeds or certificates of customary rights of occupancy (CCROs) has been a source of increased disputes, which portrays land tenure insecurity. Statistics show that so far only 57,000 villages parcels out of about four million nationally, equivalent to 1.4 per cent have been delivered since the process of issuing CCROs started in 2004 and only six districts out of 131 (about 4.6 per cent) have participated.
Similarly, studies have revealed that nearly 90 per cent of real properties and 95 per cent of all businesses in Tanzania are extralegal which make owners miss fundamental economic mechanisms indispensable for the creation of wealth, elimination of poverty and the foundation of an inclusive modern economy. Presenting the proposal, Dr Georgina Ole Saibul from ESRF said the project to be undertaken in three districts of Wanging'ombe, Kilombero and Mbozi was significant because 80 per cent of the population derives their livelihood from agriculture where each smallholder farmer tills an average of 0.2 ha of land.
The Kilombero District with high potential for agriculture and livestock development has been selected because was one of the areas where the pilot projects on land titling implemented under support of the European Union. Literature reveals that though not documented, the approach of land titling using EU support was essentially a success and best practices worth sharing with other stakeholders.
She said economic indicators show that despite experiencing positive development growth in recent years, land based sectors like agriculture, livestock, forestry, hunting and fishing have been trailing at three to four per cent behind, while their share to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is also shrinking. She said the project will not come up with something new but find out the gap that has been left out during the implementations of land formalization by the government like the Property and Business Formalisation Programme (PBFP).
It will thus contribute significantly towards enhancing the understanding and awareness of the whole process involved in land titling particularly in the rural areas. Specifically, the project will explore districts where the process of land titling has been successful and wherever it failed. "The ultimate goal of the project is to improve agricultural productivity for small-holder farmers, especially women in the bread basket region through enhanced security of tenure," she observed.
The Senior Programme Officer, Public Engagement from Haki Ardhi Ms Beatha Fabian said although 70 per cent of land belongs to the village, lack of awareness on laws pertaining to ownership has remained to be the major setback. The scenario has been a loophole for few greedy individuals to grab village land and sell to investors, a move that is fuelling unending conflicts which stumbles efforts to engage in farming activities to liberate themselves from abject poverty. "There is need to enhance land titling for the villagers to use it profitably for accessing development loans from the various lending facilities in the country," she said.

It came to my attention that I didn't know how well STL sorting algorithms performed on a vector of values that are already sorted. One would hope it would be close to $latex O(n)$. This page does a comparison of various algorithms on vectors that are sorted to varying degrees. However, I'm interested in the case when the vector is fully sorted. A simple $latex O(n)$ would remove the need to run the sorting algorithm on a list that's already sorted. It makes perfect sense that the STL implementation of
std::sort does not perform this check. I confirmed this fact by running the following simple test:
for(int s=0; s<=10; s++) { const int n = 1000 * 1000 * 10 * s; vector<int> v(n); iota(v.begin(), v.end(), 0); std::sort(v.begin(), v.end()); std::is_sorted(v.begin(), v.end()); }
The results with no optimization turned on:
The results with -O2 optimization:
Conclusion: if you expect that the list might be sorted more often than not, run

Roger Taylor (born Roger Meddows-Taylor on July 26, 1949 in Dersingham, Norfolk, later moved to Kings Lynn) is an English musician best known as the percussionist and backing, sometimes lead vocalist of the rock band Queen. As a drummer he is known for his "big" unique sound and is considered one of the most influential rock drummers of the 1970s. As a songwriter he contributed songs to the band's albums from the very beginning, composing at least one track on every album, and (in the early days) usually sang lead vocals on his own compositions. He also wrote five of the band's hits, "Radio Ga Ga", "A Kind of Magic", "The Invisible Man", "Breakthru and "These Are the Days of Our Lives". He also plays multiple instruments, including guitar, bass and keyboards, as heard on his debut solo album in which he played all instruments and sang all vocals. He has played with such artists as Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, Roger Daltrey, Phil Collins, Genesis, Jimmy Nail, Elton John, Gary Numan, Shakin' Stevens, Foo Fighters, Al Stewart, Steve Vai, Yoshiki Hayashi and Bon Jovi.
As a producer he has produced albums by Virginia Wolf, Jimmy Nail and Magnum.
Rolling Stone magazine named Taylor the 74th greatest drummer in rock music on their list of the "100 Greatest Drummers", and in 2005 he was voted the 8th greatest drummer in classic rock music history in a poll conducted by Planet Rock Radio.
At Live Earth in 2007, Taylor opened the concert with Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Let's just say that the product of drummer Roger Meddows Taylor and bassist Deacon John is explosive, a colossal sonic volcano whose eruption maketh the earth tremble. — Gordon Fletcher - Rolling Stone 149
As a drummer, Taylor possesses several trademark sounds including a pronounced opening and closing of the hi-hat on the snare back beat for rhythmic emphasis, often a low-pitched snare and toms, and the aggressive sound of large rototoms. He has played styles such as speed metal ("Stone Cold Crazy"), progressive rock ("The Prophet's Song"), and rockabilly ("Crazy Little Thing Called Love") among others. He has also played a great deal of percussion along with his standard drum kit, the most famous being the timpani solos during live shows; he is also one of the earliest drummers to use electronic trigger pads.
In addition to his drum work, he routinely played the guitars and bass on his own songs and, during the 1980s, he formed a parallel band known as The Cross, in which he was the singer and rhythm guitarist. According to Brian May, the guitar break and feedback outro to the Queen song "Calling All Girls" was played by Taylor.
As one of the band's three vocalists, Taylor's voice is notable for its raspiness, which has been compared to Rod Stewart's. He is famous within the Queen fandom for his ability to reach very high notes (e.g. the high B-flat at the end of "Bohemian Rhapsody"'s operatic section, and the high falsetto notes (highest at A) in '39). His solo career demonstrates he was very good at the low range as well; for instance, in his cover of "I Wanna Testify," he sang all four choir parts (soprano, alto, tenor and bass). In some Queen tracks he recorded his voice in octaves, and in "I'm in Love with My Car" he arranged and sang all the cascading harmonies. Another fine example of his vocal talents is in the music hall-esque 'Seaside Rendezvous' where he and Freddie Mercury imitate tubas, clarinets and kazoos through mere voice manipulation. One of Taylor's other talents was his ability to play fairly complicated drum parts while singing, as can be seen in numerous Queen performances.
His compositions include the hits "Radio Ga Ga", "Heaven for Everyone" and "A Kind of Magic", as well as other tunes that did not receive as much airplay, such as "Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll" (Queen), "Tenement Funster" (Sheer Heart Attack), and "I'm in Love With My Car" (A Night at the Opera) and "Drowse" (A Day at the Races), all of which were sung by him. Taylor is notorious for an incident relating to the release of "I'm in Love With My Car". Taylor desperately wanted to include it as the B-side of "Bohemian Rhapsody", but Freddie Mercury didn't agree. Taylor locked himself in a cupboard until Mercury changed his mind. Taylor, being the composer of the B-side, acquired the same number of royalties as Mercury himself (which apparently led to argument later on in their careers). The UK #1 hit "These Are the Days of Our Lives", though credited to all the band, was actually written by Taylor, as well as "Invisible Man", "Breakthru" (except the intro), and "You Don't Fool Me" (with lyrics by Mercury). A significant portion of the lyrics in Queen's epic "Innuendo" are by Taylor, with the music by Mercury.
His first solo album, Fun In Space, was released in 1981 and did quite well. He appeared on various European TV shows to promote the single "Future Management". A few years later he would perform various tracks of the album with The Cross. After Queen finished their The Works album in 1984, Taylor worked on his second solo album Strange Frontier. Released in July 1984, it included guest appearances by bandmates Freddie Mercury and John Deacon.
After Queen finished their 1986 Magic Tour, Taylor wanted to start a new band, putting an anonymous advertisement in the newspaper hinting that he was from a famous rock band and that he was seeking other musicians. This side project, The Cross, did not turn out to be very successful. They released three albums over the six years that they existed, only having some minor success in the UK and Germany. In 1993 they split up, after performing one final gig at the Gosport Festival.
In 1994 he worked with Yoshiki Hayashi, drummer and pianist of X Japan and released the song "Foreign Sand" and a reworking of The Cross' "Final Destination," which was a minor hit in the UK. The album Happiness? - dedicated to Freddie Mercury - got positive reviews around the world and Taylor promoted it with his first solo-tour through Europe, mainly performing in the UK and Italy. A single from the album, "Nazis 1994," was banned by BBC Radio 1 and several stores for its controversial lyrics. Nonetheless, "Nazis 1994" became Taylor's first hit single in England and was followed by two other Top 40 U.K. hits, "Happiness" and "Foreign Sand."
In 1998 he released his most recent offering, Electric Fire. To promote it, he did one of the first Internet-gigs - for which he got a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records. The album spawned two singles: "Pressure On" and a remix of "Surrender", though neither set the charts alight.
His first album came in 1981 in the form of Fun In Space. Taylor played all the instruments and sang everything on the album, apart from about 50% of the keyboards, which were done by engineer David Richards.
With Queen still touring heavily and recording at the time of release, it was impossible for Taylor to promote the album to its fullest extent, so Taylor appeared on some European TV shows to promote the single, "Future Management", including Top Of The Pops. The only other single to come from the album was "My Country". The only single released from the album in the U.S. was "Let's Get Crazy".
His next venture came in 1984 when, after Mercury rejected a lot of his songs for the Queen album, The Works, he realized he had more than enough for an album. The album became Strange Frontier. The three singles from the album were the title track, "Beautiful Dreams" (in Portugal only) and "Man On Fire", the latter becoming a live favourite for him in later years. No attempts to promote the singles were made, Queen toured to promote 1984's The Works album, which made a Strange Frontier tour impossible, and Taylor didn't perform on any TV shows. The cover of the album is a 'pixelated' version of his portrait photo that appeared in the liner notes of the Works album.
Freddie Mercury sang backing vocals on "Killing Time", John Deacon remixed the B-side "I Cry For You," and Rick Parfitt co-wrote and played on "It's An Illusion". David Richards, the engineer and producer, also co-wrote two of the tracks. The album includes covers of Bruce Springsteen's "Racing In The Streets" and Bob Dylan's "Masters of War".
In the period of 1987 to 1993 he formed a group named The Cross.
After that in 1994 he published a new solo album "Happiness?", which was "Dedicated to the tasmanian tiger - thylacinus cynocephalus, but most especially... for Freddie".
In September 1998 he published his, to date, last solo album, "Electric Fire". He supported it with a small tour in the spring of 1999, on which Queen-guitarist Brian May joined him at the gig in Wolverhampton.
After Queen's 1986 Magic Tour, the band members went their separate ways to do various solo work. Taylor decided to form a new band with whom he could tour. He had already written and recorded the album himself before finding a band to play the songs with. He eventually placed an ad for band members in a national newspaper, hinting he was a famous rock musician. The position of keyboard player was duly offered to Spike Edney after two successful Queen tours with him handling the keys. When the auditions were over, the line-up was completed by Peter Noone on Bass, Clayton Moss on Guitar, and Josh (ua J.) Macrae on Drums. Taylor himself would take the responsibility on lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist.
The first album, Shove It, was released in 1988. In Europe, Heaven for Everyone (later a Queen song) contained Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and Taylor on backing vocals. However, on the single version and the American album version the roles were reversed. The European CD contained an extra track (compared to cassette and LP) in The 2nd Shelf Mix, the US version having "Feel The Force" as its extra track. The band promoted hard in Germany especially, with many TV performances of singles including an appearance at the Montreux Golden Rose festival in 1988. The tour took in dates in the UK and Germany. Three singles were released from the album: "Cowboys and Indians", "Heaven for Everyone" and "Shove It". Another single, "Manipulator," was released in 1988, but it wasn't included on any album. It was also the only song from the time that had joint writing credits, Taylor sharing them with Spike Edney and Steve Strange.
After finishing Queen's 1989 album The Miracle, Taylor went into the studio with the rest of The Cross for the first time. The band composed the opening track "On Top Of The World Ma" with a riff bearing a resemblance to the Led Zeppelin track Whole Lotta Love. The rest of the album consisted mainly of individually written songs, except for "Power To Love" which was a joint venture by Macrae, Noone and Moss. Clayton Moss sang lead vocals on his own track "Better Things", and Spike Edney played mandolin on "Final Destination", which was written by Taylor. "Final Destination" was released as a single, as were "Liar" and "Power To Love", the latter being the last single to be released in the UK by the group. "Final Destination" came with a live rendition of Taylor's song "Man On Fire" as a B-side, and "Liar" (Noone) had a brand new track, "In Charge Of My Heart", which was also penned by Taylor. The 12" single and CD of "Liar" also included extended remixes of both "Liar" and "In Charge Of My Heart". The instrumental section at the beginning of "In Charge Of My Heart" was used as the opening to concerts on the accompanying tour. "Closer To You" (Edney) had been planned to be released in America, but the idea was never discussed again. The group having seemingly given up on the UK market, the accompanying tour only included dates in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ibiza. Unusual for such tours, every song from the new album was played live.
In 2002, Taylor appeared on the "Twelve Drummers Drumming" Christmas card in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" set sold at Woolworths to raise money for the NSPCC – alongside the "other" Roger Taylor, the drummer for Duran Duran.

When the ICC World T20 2014 began, not many people were counting India among the favorites to win the tournament. However, their remarkable performances against Pakistan, West Indies and Bangladesh seems to have rekindled fans' faith in the team. Friday's win against Bangladesh catapulted them to the top of Group 2 and also secured them the coveted semi-final berth. India's game against Australia might not be worrying Mahendra Singh Dhoni much, but it would offer a great opportunity to the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh to find much-needed form in the tournament. On the other hand, George Bailey would expect his under-fire team to salvage some pride before the team makes a shameful exit from the tournament.
The under-performers
Dhawan's moustache isn't twirling anymore: India may have found good momentum in the ongoing T20 world cup, but opener Shikhar Dhawan's form has been a cause of worry. It is commonly said that T20 cricket is too short a format to judge a batsman in just 3-4 innings – batsmen always look to score quickly, and in doing so, tend to throw away their wickets with a rash shot. However, the curious case of Shikhar Dhawan goes beyond the normative judgement.
Dhawan's short stay at the crease during India's match against Bangladesh on Friday exposed a few chinks in his armour – his feet weren't moving properly, his head wasn't straight enough and he was merely trying to go for the big shots without assessing the deliveries properly. The result? He ended up edging an Al-Amin delivery onto the stumps. On his day, Dhawan would have easily flicked the same delivery on the leg-side without much ado. The flamboyant opener, who burst out in international cricket with a majestic 187 against Australia last year, is apparently struggling with his batting technique and Dhoni would expect him to fire in the remaining matches in the tournament. Fans are waiting with baited breath to see the trademark mustache twirl once again.
Yuvraj, a pale shadow of his former self: Yuvraj Singh's name was forever etched in the annals of T20 cricket's nascent history when he smashed Stuart Broad for six sixes in the inaugral edition of T20 World Cup. Almost seven years later, Yuvraj Singh is but a pale shadow of his former self. Since his highly anticipated comeback in the Indian team last year, Yuvraj has had a disappointing run, much to the fans chagrin. His brief innings in the first two games against Pakistan and West Indies were unlike what the Punjab southpaw is capable of doing with the bat. Very rarely has Yuvraj looked so tense and docile in his 14-year-old career.
Also renowned for his athletic fielding and impeccable catching abilities, Yuvraj's efforts in the outfield have been below par in the tournament thus far. His dropped catches in the first two games drew him some flak …continued »

Infinite Stratos hentai doujin [English] : ISH, by Aka Usagi30 January 2013, by Oliver
I can't tell I like this Infinite Stratos parody, but I have to reckon the artist made a commendable effort and went full throttle into his/her own fetish : an extremely energetic sweaty ahegao orgy
A note, I allowed myself to resize the images. They came with a whopping 4300 pixels resolution, and the whole archive weighted over 100 MB – in my opinion, 1600px for 14 MB is an improvement
There's no scenario at all, just the Infinite Stratos girls and the male hero having sex. The bodies ooze out liters of sweat, the male hero has unlimited ammo and manages to simultaneously fuck several girls from the looks of it, while the girls have their ahegaos all around.
The rest is up to you, if you like the art or not ^^ My thanks, for this release, are for Tigoris, from Tigoris-Translates (from whom, is someone feels like it, "you" can commission translations…) !

Somehow I can't help but feel extreme pity the "clean-up" crew after that (ahem) session – unless Orimura and his harem are ordered to clean up after themselves.
ahego faces ftw
That reminds me, I hope someone translates the recently surfaced Angel Stoke 58 that features Yamada-sensei. Thanks for the share as always Oliver!
Not sure if I'm gonna dl it, but yeah thx. Because if I do, I won't get this 4300 pixel monstrosity. With 1600 you can view it on 100% and everything is fine (aside from the filesize being reasonable). With 4300, you'd have to watch on 40% zoom. And zooming doesn't always scale the picture down properly. I hope that dude somehow forgot to resize this thing. 4300 sound like raw size, if anything. Which is okay. But you wanna resize it to under 2000 pixel for the scanlation, I'd say.
Thx is god love it but is not in English its in Engrish
You can get it here, but it's huge:

Are you missing a beloved four-legged friend from the past? Or, on a far sillier note, would you like your very own Grumpy Cat or Doge?
A new app aims to help you find a lookalike for your departed or dream pet by using photo-matching software to find the closest match in your area.
PetMatch lets you upload a picture of a dog or cat, or use one from its gallery. It then tries to find you a pet available for adoption that is the closest possible match to the one you posted.
The app is from startup Superfish and uses its patented image-recognition technology. It scans your photo, registering details like the shape of an animal's mouth, the distance between its eyes, its coloring and its general size and shape.
It then performs a similar search on PetFinder, a database with photos of hundreds of thousands of animals up for adoption throughout the United States, and gives you the closest overall matches, as well as the closest ones in your area.
The PetMatch app, released this month, is currently available only on Apple's iOS operating system.

Montana dairy farmers soured by scandalBOZEMAN, Mont. — Brad Kamerman's dairy farm sits along a dusty and rolling road in Montana's western Gallatin County, his black-and-white Holstein cows visible to the occasional passer-by.
By: Daniel Person, Bozeman (Mont.) Daily Chronicle
BOZEMAN, Mont. — Brad Kamerman's dairy farm sits along a dusty and rolling road in Montana's western Gallatin County, his black-and-white Holstein cows visible to the occasional passer-by.
Milking there starts daily at 3 a.m. as cows file into pens where rubber tubes simultaneously do the work of a several farmhands, pumping the milk into refrigerated vats.
By the time most county residents are pouring 2 percent over their Cheerios or dropping a dollop of cream into their first cup of coffee, most of Kamerman's herd of 300 will have been milked and the farm will have 20,000 pounds of milk ready for the daily shipment to the bottling plant in Bozeman, Mont.
It's a seven-day-a-week job for Kamerman, who bought his first herd of dairy cows in 1978 and can count on one hand the days off he gets in any given year, and he doesn't begrudge it.
"I love this lifestyle," he says while walking around his pens, clad in denim and a full-brim hat, "and I have a wife who puts up with it."
Since the dairy cooperative that would become Country Classic formed in Gallatin County in 1933, dairy farms such as Kamerman's have been an important part of the local economy. With the opening of the co-op's processing plant in 1957, Bozeman became a major hub of milk production that eventually would stock milk aisles across the West.
In recent years, the processing plant in Bozeman expanded as it began processing and bottling Kirkland's Signature milk for two dozen Costco stores in the region — including stores in Montana, Salt Lake City and Denver. It was a major coup in an industry where billion-dollar corporations fight for coveted shelf space.
Industry issues
But in recent years, a combination of hard choices, brutal economics and white-collar crime has hampered the Gallatin Valley milk industry.
After a major embezzlement scandal that landed three executives in federal prison, Country Classic merged with Darigold, a large co-op based in Seattle. Recently, Darigold said that 40 people would be laid off from the Bozeman bottling plant — two-thirds of the plant's work force. The same day, company officials says Country Classic's shipping operation — responsible for delivering milk from Bozeman to grocery stores across the West — would be completely shut down.
Now, dairymen such as Kamerman say better days lie ahead for the local milk industry, one of the final, vibrant milk-producing regions in Montana. But a dissenting few see more trouble ahead.
Like other food industries, the milk market has seen a few huge firms dominate more shelf space in grocery stores across the country.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the top 10 processors of milk now provide the U.S. with 82 percent of its milk. In 2000, the 10 biggest processors only accounted for 65 percent.
More to the point, in 2009, there was a one-in-three chance that the milk you were dunking your Oreo into was processed by a single company, Dean Foods. Among other things, Dean Foods, a Dallas-based company, owns the Meadow Gold bottling plants in Great Falls and Billings, Mont.
Small supplier struggles
In this industry, the relatively small Country Classic was an exception, not a rule. But in recent years, economics began catching up to the company.
For one, the larger grocery stores that have become popular with consumers can spell trouble for small suppliers.
Big box stores such as Costco and Wal-Mart don't just want suppliers that can give them cheap milk, says Brian Gould, an associate professor of agriculture and applied economics at the University of Wisconsin. They want suppliers that can give them lots of it.
"To supply Costco, or to supply Walmart, you have to be big," he says. "You have to be a big player. They don't want to deal with small players. They need a constant, single supplier."
At Country Classic, Costco began pressuring the co-op to supply more and more of its stores, says Bill Hedstrom, a dairy farmer in the Flathead Valley who left the co-op after the merger.
"County Classic was servicing the Costco accounts in Montana, then Costco wanted it to service a lot more of their stores with cheaper milk, and that's where they got in trouble," he says. "That's what started stretching them out."
It got to the point that the Bozeman plant was buying milk from farmers who were out of state and not part of the co-op, a practice that began cutting into profits.
"Locally, there wasn't enough milk produced to supply all the Costco stores and the freight got to the point that it was prohibitive," says Bill Tatarka, a Bozeman dairy farmer who sat on the Country Classic board for eight years and still is a member of the co-op.
Meanwhile, Northwest Dairy Association, which in 2002 was the fourth- largest dairy cooperative in the country — and its subsidiary Darigold — the 10th-largest milk producer — had bought a bottling plant near Salt Lake City and was moving into Montana markets, dairy farmers say.
As a further blow, federal investigators found that Country Classic CEO Michael Monforton and three other executives had embezzled almost $1 million from the company — a financial and emotional blow to area farmers.
"You can't run a dairy and run a co-op at the same time," Kamerman says. "That's what you have your management team for. You trust them."
For the majority of co-op members in Bozeman, a merger quickly appeared to be the best option for Country Classic.
"When you get all your eggs in one basket and Costco pulls the plug on you, what do you do?" Kamerman asks.
"It was basically, you either had to beat (Darigold) or join them," he says. "We joined them."
In August, Country Classic members voted to merge, with only two farmers voting no.
Milk in Montana
Well before the merger, dairy farmers in Montana, and the nation as a whole, were becoming a rare breed. According to Montana Department of Livestock data, Montana had 10,400 dairy farmers in 1965. By 2007, that number had shrunk to 390 — a 96 percent reduction. The number of dairy cows has gone from a high in 1933 of 196,000 to 15,000 today.
As supporters of the merger see it, while the layoffs in Bozeman are unfortunate, Darigold has given them a security they once lacked.
"I'm more excited about the dairy industry in Montana than I've ever been," says Loren Dyk, a dairy farmer who was president of the board at the time of the merger. "We have a future now. "It's tough to lose your local plant, but we're still members of our local plant, still a co-op, still farmer owned."
In the immediate future, little will change for the local farmers, despite the pared back processing at the Bozeman plant. Kamerman, Tatarka and other Gallatin Valley farmers' milk will still go to Bozeman for processing, and local stores still will carry local milk.
But long term, will the plant stay viable in a company that owns 13 processing plants across the region, including plants that are much closer to major markets such as Salt Lake?
Steve Rowe, senior vice president of the Northwest Dairy Association, says yes.
Darigold has "no plans to close that plant" and says the merger in fact strengthened it, since it gave the dairy farmers who supply it firmer footing, he says.
"This will do more to secure the life of this plant," Rowe says. "It is now melded in with 12 other plants for the owners/farmers."
But Tatarka, who opposed the merger, says he fears the layoffs serve as a bad omen for the plant.
"I think that eventually, they're going to say, 'We can bottle milk more efficiently in Seattle or Spokane and haul it into Montana, and we don't need this plant in Bozeman anymore,'" Tatarka says. "That was a good, local business that employed a lot of local people, and it was kind of a landmark. I feel that its time is limited. I just don't think they'll keep it open."

The grandest of Puerto Montt's hotels underwent a much-needed face-lift in 2002–03, and, more than ever, it retains its Gstaad-by-the-sea glory. Its Bavarian-style facade resembles that of countless other Lake District lodgings, but the lobby's huge picture window overlooking the Seno de Reloncaví lets you know this place is something special. The modern guest rooms are comfy, with carpets and contemporary wood furniture—but do yourself a favor and spring for a standard room, rather than an economy one. The difference in price is tiny, but the difference in quality of the rooms is substantial.

Buckboard or Canadian Bacon
This is a simple, general-purpose cure to make your own bacon. Use a boston butt to make buckboard bacon, a ham-like country-style bacon. Use pork loin to make more a more traditional Canadian bacon.
1 Tablespoon per pound
Morton's Sugar Cure
1 Tablespoon per pound
white sugar
1 5lb
pork loin or boston butt
Combine the sugar and Morton's Sugar Cure (one T of each for each pound of meat). This is your dry cure. Place the butt or loin in a large freezer bag and coat with the cure. Rub the cure into the meat, covering all sides. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Store in the refrigerator for 1 day per pound of meat, flipping the meat over once a day. Liquid will begin to collect in the bag - this indicates that the cure is working. Do not drain it off.
On the 6th day, remove the meat from the cure and soak in cold water for 1-2 hours to remove some of the salt. Dry off the meat and refrigerate for an hour.
Set up your smoker for indirect heat. Add hickory wood for smoke. If using Boston butt - cook at 225°F until the internal temperature of the meat hits 145°F. If using pork loin - cook at 225°F until the internal temperature of the meat hits 165°F.
Remove form the smoker, let cool, and slice. Note that the Canadian bacon is fully cooked and just needs to be warmed to serve. The Buckboard bacon is cured, but still needs to be cooked.
Cooking Tips
This recipe is just a starting point for a basic cure. Feel free to add additional spices. We've had luck with adding a tablespoon or so of brown sugar and black pepper. You can also add paprika and/or cayenne pepper for a spicier product.

We all do it. Whether we are walking to class or sitting through what could possibly the most boring lecture on the planet  - we are always on our phone. Plus with unlimited texting, why not text your bff a constant update of your life. However, there are certain times that you shouldn't really be updating your facebook status or checking your inbox for e-mails.
Texting while dining is a definitely a good thing to avoid. Whether you are on a date with your girls or your boy toy, try to stay off your phone as best as you can.
Nothing will kill the mood faster than a cell phone.
Do I even need to go into why this isn't a good idea ladies? No text is that important.

Gastric suction is a procedure to empty the contents of your stomach.
Gastric lavage; Stomach pumping; Nasogastric tube suction
A tube is inserted through the nose or mouth, down the food pipe (esophagus), and into the stomach. Sometimes you may be given a numbing medicine to reduce irritation and gagging caused by the tube.
Stomach contents can be removed using suction right away or after spraying water through the tube.
In an emergency, such as when a patient has swallowed poison or is vomiting blood, no preparation is needed for gastric suction.
If gastric suction is being done for testing, your doctor may ask you not to eat overnight or to stop taking certain medications.
You may feel a gagging sensation as the tube is passed.
This test may be done to:

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to Receive Prestigious Health Care Award
Foundation Honored by NCQA for Leadership in Improving Care
March 18, 2009
(Bethesda, MD) —The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will be honored today in Washington, D.C., for remarkable leadership in improving the quality of care for people living with cystic fibrosis, by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
The outlook for people with CF continues to improve steadily each year because of programs fueled by the Foundation. In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, the predicted median age of survival for those with CF is more than age 37, and people with the disease go to college, pursue careers, get married and have families.
"We are honored to receive the Health Quality Award from NCQA for driving improvements in care for people with cystic fibrosis," said Bruce Marshall, M.D., vice president of clinical affairs for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. "Increasingly, we're learning that quality improvement efforts when applied to a chronic disease can have a dramatic impact on patients' lives."
The Foundation supports and accredits a nationwide network of more than 115 care centers, which provide vital treatments and resources to patients and families. In 2002, the Foundation launched its quality improvement program to accelerate improvement in care. Since that time, key indicators of health for people with cystic fibrosis—including lung function and nutritional status—have increased across the Foundation's care center network. Improved lung function and nutrition leads to added years of life.
The Foundation was among the first health organizations to publish health outcomes data for its accredited care centers. The data is updated annually so people with CF can track the progress of their individual care centers.
Each year, the NCQA presents Health Quality Awards to individuals and organizations that show an ongoing commitment to improving the quality of health care. Previous award recipients include Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and actress and advocate Mary Tyler Moore.
The NCQA is a private, not-for-profit organization devoted to improving the quality of health care by elevating the issue to the national level.
About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to curing and controlling cystic fibrosis. Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., the Foundation has more than 80 chapters and branch offices throughout the country and supports and accredits a nationwide network of 115 care centers.

Going Out In Tights With My Girlfriend - An Upcoming Post
Whilst I dislike seeing groups of loud, boozy girls tottering drunkenly around town centres (so un-ladylike!), I like this image above. These two look like they're having fun, and girls having fun together whilst out on the town look a lot more appealing than men, who usually just look loutish.
I also think the girl on the left's opaques look spectacularly good with her light blue dress, and I'd really enjoy the chance to go out dressed like her, with my wife on my arm - two girls together.
In a forthcoming post I'm going to reflect on why I've never been out dressed in tights, or in full drag as a girl, despite getting a little encouragement once or twice in different ways - directly and indirectly.
I've had one girlfriend suggest doing it at a Brighton nightclub back in 1996; and another ask me if I'd ever considered going out in public way back in 1994. Strangely, I've also had two female friends mention cross-dressing to me too, even though they haven't known anything about my love of tights! One was a university friend and the other was a flatmate from my days in London, and I'll tell the story about them in the full post. I'll try to post it by July.
As I've mentioned before though, as of 2011 I still haven't done what the lucky man below has enjoyed: Going out in tights with my girlfriend or wife.
Here's a lovely couple, a husband and wife dressed as Bunnygirls together. I think she looks very attractive, and he's a passable girl too, which is all any of us men can really hope to be.
I think they're really sexy photos because both the man and woman look so relaxed, and I can't help but be jealous of this guy and the way his wife has obviously been an intrgral part of his cross-dressing journey. As they're having their photos taken, they might look like this in reality, but I know in the guy's head he believes he looks like the real Bunny below. With his wife beside him to tell him that he does, it's no wonder that he's smiling. I'm very jealous!

Current Students
Sculpture in memory of Leo Cooper-White
A bronze sculpture and time capsule has been unveiled in memory of UTAS theatre student Leo Cooper-White, who died tragically last year in an accident at the Door of Hope in Launceston.
The bronze sculpture is to be installed at the UTAS School of Visual and Performing Arts in Inveresk, where Leo was studying in the third year of his degree.
In addition to the sculpture, the inaugural Leo Cooper-White Memorial Scholarship in Performing Arts will be established from 2013, the first scholarship in that academic area in Tasmania.
UTAS acting director of advancement, Melanie Roome, said Leo's friends and family had been creative and energetic in raising $30,000 towards the scholarship.
"The UTAS Foundation will match those funds to endow a scholarship of $2000 a year," she said.
Because Leo Cooper-White was an enthusiastic chess player, his friends designed the sculpture in the form of a chess queen. Deloraine artists Michael Thompson and John Parrish assisted with the carving and casting involved.

Lawmakers, activists weigh proposed Medi-Cal cuts
Statewide, 7.7 million people received Medi-Cal, including 423,391 people in San Diego County.
Medi-Cal faces the single largest budgetary cut of any state program, under Brown's proposed budget.
"We believe these proposals could adversely impact those with the greatest need for health care services," particularly seniors and people with disabilities, the analyst's office said in a recent report.
The report agreed with the concept of copayments but recommended lowering them and creating annual out-of-pocket limits.
The report also said the governor may be overstating savings because requiring hospital copayments and limiting doctor visits could force the state's poorest residents to delay treatment until they're sicker and need more expensive care that the state would end up covering anyway.
Brown's proposal would reduce doctor visits covered by Medi-Cal from 3.3 million annually to 2 million.
Vista Community Clinic Executive Director Barbara Mannino said the 10-visit limit targets people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension or seizure disorders. Last year, 500 of her 14,500 Medi-Cal patients came to the clinic more than 10 times, she said.
"People who come in more than 10 times a year need to come in," she said. "Limiting visits will only force them into the emergency room at a higher cost of care. Shouldn't we be paying for a $100 doctor visit instead of a $1,500 emergency room visit?"
Mannino said community clinics aren't in the business of turning away people in need and will be further squeezed after already losing significant state funding last year.
"Something's got to change," she said. "It's just not right to be continually reducing services to the poor."
Brown has called his 18-month budget proposal a massive governmental restructuring with painfully deep cuts "requiring sacrifice from every sector" to dig out of a financial hole a decade in the making.
Brown predicted a $25.4 billion deficit by the end of June 2012, including an $8.2 billion shortfall this fiscal year. Brown's budget includes $12.5 billion in spending cuts and he's asked lawmakers to set a June special election to ask voters to extend temporary taxes.
Brown spared K-12 schools — which account for nearly 43 percent of general fund expenditures — saying they've taken a disproportionate hit for four years.
With schools left intact, Brown turned to the second largest piece of the general fund, the Health and Human Services Agency, for the biggest cutbacks. The agency took a 21.5 percent hit, including the $1.7 billion cut to Medi-Cal, the state's health care program for the poor.The Medi-Cal cuts also axe an adult day program, limits medical supply spending, and cuts provider payments 10 percent.
Whether the state could actually reduce payments remains to be seen.
Federal courts previously blocked about $1 billion in Medi-Cal payment cutbacks the Legislature adopted in 2008 and the U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to hear the state's appeal.
The legislative analyst has recommended approving payment cuts of up to 10 percent and assessing access to care. Federal law requires service payments high enough so that enough providers take Medi-Cal so recipients have the same access to care as the general population.

War: The Lethal Custom
Carroll & Graf Publishers, Jun 1, 2006 - History - 484 pages
While modern science ponders whether human beings are programmed toward belligerence and warfare, there is no doubt that war has been humanity's constant companion since the dawn of civilization, and that we have become all too proficient in its conduct.
In "War, " noted military historian Gwynne Dyer ranges from the tumbling walls of Jericho to the modern advent of total war in which no one is exempt from the horrors of armed conflict. He shows how the martial instinct has evolved over the human generations and among our close primate relations, such as the chimpanzee. Dyer squarely confronts the reality of war, and the threat of nuclear weapons, but does not despair that war is our eternal legacy. He likes and respects soldiers, even while he knows their job is to kill; he understands the physics and the psychology of battles, but he is no war junkie. Dyer surveys the fiery battlefields of human history, never losing sight of the people caught up in war. He actually believes there is hope that war can be abolished, that human beings are more than just our genes.
"War" is an award-winning book that explores the human past to imagine a different future.

The paper presents a novel universal concept of recovering tritium from water. The concept is based on a flexible link between the first stage of purification and getting tritium concentrate by catalytic isotopic exchange between water and hydrogen and the second stage, destined for recovering tritium with the concentration of 98 at.% by means of continuous isotopic exchange between hydrogen and palladium hydride. We present thermodynamic and mass exchange parameters of these processes, obtained while running pilot setups. We demonstrate that the proposed universal purification module is more efficient for separating tritium-containing mixtures of hydrogen isotopes, than the one described in literature.

Rallies in St Pete and Tampa for justice for Trayvon Martin after not guilty verdict
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Tags: Trayvon Martin
People furious with George Zimmerman's not guilty verdict protested on both sides of Tampa Bay Sunday.
About fifty activists chanted and held signs on the four corners of a busy South St. Petersburg intersection early in the afternoon.
And a few hours later nearly 200 marched from downtown Tampa's Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park to the Federal Courthouse and back.
Despite the 90 degree heat, many in the long line of marchers in Tampa are wearing hooded sweatshirts like the one Trayvon Martin wore the night he was shot. Some are carrying hand-drawn posters saying things like "Justice 4 Trayvon" and "My son is Trayvon."
Marisol Marquez helped organize Sunday's rally in Tampa as part of the Coalition for Justice for Trayvon Martin. She had been demonstrating in Sanford, Florida when the verdict was announced on Saturday.
"When he was convicted of nothing, I was like this is completely terrible. He committed second-degree murder, which is what he should have gotten. And he didn't. It's embarrassing to know that someone like [George] Zimmerman can go into a community, racially target and stalk and then murder a young 17-year-old boy who was just getting iced tea and Skittles. It's embarrassing to know that after he did that, he gets to walk away, wash his hands of it and act like it never happened. Well, it happened and we're here to say that we're tired of it and we will not stop until there's justice for us."
Marquez says the Zimmerman verdict sends a frightening message that killing is okay.
"They targeted my parents for being Mexican. They knew where we lived: we lived in the Mexican neighborhood. So I knew early on that it was something to be scared of. People like Zimmerman are something that you fear, that you're terrified of because you know they exist. And look, we saw him walk away completely free. Nothing was done to him. And I'm ashamed to say that I live in a country where someone like Zimmerman can commit straight-up murder with no repercussion."
Marquez and other organizers speak to the crowd through a bullhorn as passing cars honk in support. Eight police cars line the street. One of the last speakers, Life Malcolm says prayer vigils and marches aren't enough to end violence committed against the black community.
"A life is worth a life. If we have to make it clear that if one of us is killed then a life is required. You can't just get off scott free."
Later Malcolm clarifies that he was referring to people being able to defend themselves against violence.
It's several blocks from the park on the waterfront to the federal courthouse. The demonstrators march through streets, not along sidewalks, climb the courthouse steps and continue chanting. At the edge of the crowd, Temple Terrace resident Linda Davis says she cried when she heard the not-guilty verdict.
"I'm 66 years old and this is the first time in my life I've ever been to a protest or a rally. Ever. Because a child is dead. Because of our gun laws. Because of the attitudes of people. People need to understand the cultures of other people; how other people think. We need to be more open minded."
Guns and Florida's lax gun laws are also a concern for St. Petersburg resident James Lamont. Several hours before the Tampa rally, he is part of a smaller gathering in an economically depressed section of South St. Pete.
"My shirt features a drawing of a pistol that's been broken in half. I think it's quite obvious why it's appropriate for today. It's just a general anti-violence t-shirt, but it fits this case perfectly."
Lamont stands on one corner of 18th Avenue South and Martin Luther King Street, but all four corners of the intersection have sign-waving demonstrators. Some of them hold a series of posters that spell out "We can't peacefully watch our children die," a response to demands by some officials for peaceful protests.
This rally is organized by the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement and Chimurenga Waller is its secretary.
"That's the historical trend of this country, Africans being murdered by ordinary mercenaries, by the police. That's why this system works. That's why George Zimmerman felt like he could do what he did and get away with it. And he was correct. Hopefully this will serve as a lesson to us to get organized because we don't want to wait 'til another Trayvon Martin happens, we want to get organized before that happens."
The NAACP is proposing that the Department of Justice investigate whether George Zimmerman violated Trayvon Martin's civil rights. The secretary general of the African People's Socialist Party, Gaida Kambon says that's not good enough.
"It's just ludicrous; it's insanity when we try the same things and we get the same results. That's insanity. It's just another distraction. The community wants real solutions."
But back at the rally in Tampa, a sales administrator who would only give her name as Dominica disagrees. She thinks there could be some solutions through the courts.
"I know that they're reviewing it -- the case -- some more to do some sort of civil suit. But all we can do is come together as a people and let them know that this is not a good thing and it shouldn't happen any more."
The rallies for justice and protests against the verdict continue. The International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement is organizing a caravan to the courthouse in Sanford to rally Monday.

This is going to piss off the WMNF community, but I feel that Zimmerman needs to be left alone and folks need to stop persecuting him. He was acquitted by a jury of his peers because the state didn't have a good case against him, and the defense adequately proved the self defense argument. If folks don't like the verdict, then they can just leave the U.S., because they apparently don't like our criminal justice system, which played out exactly like it was supposed to. Anyone who didn't predict acquittal is naïve and delusional.
