A new report from the US Department of Agriculture tells us what a lot of people around here already know all too well - Last year was a very rough year overall to be a farmer.
The summer's drought took a serious toll on crop production, and it looks like Illinois' corn farmers took a particularly hard hit.
In fact, Illinois has lost its number two spot on the list of the nation's biggest corn producers. It's now fourth among corn producing states, having been overtaken by Minnesota and Nebraska in the rankings.
Iowa remains number one.
That's despite heavy crop losses in that state, too.
According to the USDA's Final Crop Report for 2012, released Friday, Iowa farmers produced about 1.9 billion bushels of corn in 2012, down from nearly 2.4 billion bushels the year before.
The difference was even bigger in Illinois, where corn production dropped from just under 2 billion bushels in 2011 to only about 1.3 billion bushels last year.
Still, local farmers said, it could always have been worse.
"Farmers are pretty upbeat," Kevin Urick, Henry County Farm Bureau President, said. "This has been a pretty positive time the last couple of years, so people are going to keep moving ahead."
That is despite the fact that looking back on 2012 isn't a very pretty picture.
In one photo on display inside Kevin Urick's house, you can see the family farm near Prophetstown in the summer of 2010. It features lush fields and plenty of green.
Another photo on display, taken of the farm at the height of the drought last July, tells a very different story. The scene looks parched and the overwhelming color theme is brown.
"Everything looked good in the spring, and we were planning on a great crop, but things went south," Urick said.
In Illinois, it seems things were particularly bad in the southern part of the state.
Around here, we're told Henry County farmers were among the hardest hit by the dry weather.
But even in Henry County, some farms were affected much more than others.
"We have some of the most variable soils in the whole state of Illinois, from just sand to muck, all on the same farm, so it just depends on what you had for soils and how the rains hit or missed," Urick explained.
2012 was certainly a tough one on the Urick's farm - which averaged about 112 bushels of corn per acre, compared to the 200 or so they've been getting in recent years.
And the Urick's said they were lucky.
"A lot of guys just had a total disaster," Kevin Urick pointed out.
But with a little luck - and a lot of rain - the next season may be a much better one for all of Illinois' farmers.
Local Farm Bureau officials tell us there is a bit of a silver lining for farmers hit hardest by the drought last year: Fields where production was at its lowest in 2012 likely won't need quite so much fertilizer in 2013, and that should save those farmers a little money.

A disabled Peachtree City woman whose golf cart was stolen is getting new wheels.Ashley Kurpiel has a rare disease that prevents her from driving a car. Earlier this week, someone stole her golf cart. She's been using her grandfather's cart temporarily.
After FOX 5's report aired, the owners of Golf Rider presented Ashley with the keys to a new golf cart. Kurpiel says she is grateful for the kindness of strangers.
Even with the replacement, Peachtree City police continue to look for the stolen golf cart.

LinuxConf Europe: Discovering Free Software in the UK Public Sector
On Tuesday the primary conference sessions concluded with a selection of talks on how far the UK public sector has come in its adoption of Free Software. Talks by Mark Taylor (President, Open Source Consortium) and Francis Irving (MySociety) were both informative and candid in their appraisal of the UK public sector.
Francis' talk focused primarilly on MySociety's most successful project to date, the 10 Downing Street E-Petitions website. This website allows members of the British public to submit petitions and gather signatures online and was created by MySociety at the request of the government.
Since its creation, the E-Petitions site has been massively successful, to the point that government ministers have responded publically; even Tony Blair's office responded during his premiership. Francis developed the technical aspects of his talk by explaining the site's biggest success and failure to date: the "Scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy" petition.
At the height of its success this petition was receiving 150 signatures per second and by closure had amassed a total of over 1.8 million. Problems in the implementation arose because the site was intended to receive no more than 50 signatures per second, the result was this petition completely crashed the site.
The combination of Francis' talk and Mark's overview of Free Software in education and the BBC iPlayer gave a reasonable insight into the progress of Free Software in the UK public sector. Mark was quick to point out that UK lags far behind mainland Europe in this respect and that the problems were far more than just technical. The creation of E-Petitions was a step forward for open government in the UK, more importantly, as they increased in popularity they would continue to be a prominent success for Free Software in the public sector.

Today I rode along with the Navy and Marines to one more Haitian beach. This one is called Grand Goave and it's much more rural. This will be another site where the military offloads food and supplies for the Haitians.
We got there on those huge hovercrafts called LCACs (pronounced "EL-cacks.") Check out my story to see how much dirt these things kick up. They ride on a cushion of air over water or land. Pretty wild.
I could do this for weeks longer, and really I could actually do this for weeks longer -- Bataan and her sister ships will likely stay deployed for many more weeks in Haiti and of course their help will be welcome. But I am headed back to Norfolk and am excited to return to covering stories in Hampton Roads.
I have a new appreciation for all the U.S. military does, especially the navy. I want to thank all of the navy public affairs officers who invited the media on the ship and helped me connect with compelling people day after day, particularly Chief Petty Officer Tony Sisti, who works with an incredibly accommodating -- and might I add patient -- staff. Thanks to the I.T. sailors aboard the ship who dealt with my panic when I had stories to send and the Internet was on the fritz.
And I want to thank ALL the people who helped shoot my "standups" on the ship and in Haiti, which allowed me to look into the camera and talk directly to everyone at home in my reports. It's the one thing nearly impossible to do as a one-man-band. So thanks to Kevin, Kristen, Amna, Andy, Jeff, Alexa, Collin, Lt. Quisao, and a handful of other Marines and sailors who videotaped me so I could prove that yes I really did make it here, Mom.
Thanks also to everyone at WVEC for being patient with faulty Internet and cell phone connections. And I am extremely grateful to the station's management for the privilege of covering such an important story.
Tomorrow I fly to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before hopefully heading to Ft. Lauderdale and then on to Norfolk. Believe it or not this is the most efficient way to "disembed."
Thanks for reading and watching our coverage -- we'll keep you updated on everything our Norfolk-based ships are doing to help fill the humanitarian needs down here even though I'll be back in Hampton Roads.

Designing emissions trading in practice general considerations and experiences from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS)
AbstractThis paper deals with designing emissions trading in practice. After a short introduction to the general idea of emissions trading, practical requirements for the introduction of an emissions trading scheme are considered, including the temporal and spatial dimension as well as administrative requirements and the role of markets. Historical developments regarding emissions trading are discussed. Currently, the largest trading scheme is the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the European industry by 21 percent until 2020 compared to 2005 levels. Because of its prominent role, the basic design and the process of introducing the EU scheme are reviewed in more detail. Finally, the impact of the EU ETS on the regulated entities is analyzed based on an annual survey among German companies regulated by the EU ETS which is conducted by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in a common project with KfW Bankengruppe. --

Low-Alcohol Refreshment: The Shandy
Drinkers in the UK looking for a beverage without a lot of alcohol know what to order at the pub: a shandy! This mix of beer and sparkling lemonade is lightly alcoholic and very refreshing.
In a traditional shandy, beer is mixed in equal parts with sparkling lemonade or a citrus-flavored soda like 7-Up, or with ginger beer for a drink called a shandygaff. Germany has its own version of the drink, called a Radler, and France and Italy call the combination a panaché.
Because the drink is so low in alcohol, it's ideal for cook-outs, poolside parties or anywhere you need a little hydration with your buzz. And although the classic is hard to beat, try playing around with other citrus mixers, like raspberry lemonade or raw lime cordial and a little soda water.
Do you ever drink shandies?

Shandy is a wonderful drink and it's also consumed in Souther Europe. We call it "clara" in certain parts of Spain. You can either have it with lemonade (called "gaseosa" here) or with Fanta Lemon or any lemon-flavoured soda (Schweppes is my favourite).
A Nancy -- pineapple juice and beer -- is also very tasty.
Radler is an amazing drink!
You can also get a shandy in pubs in Ireland too, which is a nice option when you want to pace your alcohol consumption.
Um, can someone get those frites to me, stat?
I'm so sad that the weather is so humid... I'm dying for some homemade mayo or aioli!
I LOVE a Shandy but cannot find a good fizzy lemon mixer here in the U.S. Any suggestions?
This sounds great. What kind of beer are you supposed to use?
I love it with San Pelegrino Limonata, the fizzy very tart lemon soda they make. That and a lighter, slightly fruity beer (Magic Hat #9 is a favorite, also Strawberry Abita) is my summer drink of choice.
@Jezebella, I second Erizein's Limonata suggestion. It's the least sweet lemon soda I've tried.
@caitlin926 I've usually seen it made with a light lager beer.
I love shandy a lot! I used to drink it all the time during my trip of 6 months in UK. Very nice for someone who doesn't really like beer.
Throw in a shot of vodka and it wakes the whole thing up... super crisp and refreshing! I've always known the variation with the vodka as "summer beer".
I am from the UK and love ginger beer but have never heard of the shandygaff! Must investigate!
Thanks, piealamode!
7-up?! "Shandygaff"?! Are you pulling my leg? Lager and lime, on the other hand...
You guys haven't had the Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy? C'est bon.
in Germany, there's also another very popular variation: beer and coke
and in Bavaria, a Radler is served a 1 liter / 4 cups glass. so much for "less alcohol" ;-)
Thanks for the tip re: the Limonata. Will have to keep an eye out for it. Abita's Purple Haze is also a nice fruity summer beer, and it's available year-round, unlike the (delicious!) Abita Strawberry Harvest.
Is my favorite !!
I make it with beer, lemonade, and grated ginger; a trick I learned from Burma Super Star in San Francisco.
@Jezebella, I'd also recommend Trader Joe's French Style Lemonade. I've seen similar sparkling lemonades at Whole Foods as well.
Oh I love Shandys! Also, if you want a bit more beer, its called a lager-top which is 3/4 parts lager 1/4 part "lemonade" (normally I got something like Sprite in a pub).
I've also had this in Burmese and Vietnamese restaurants. Yum!
I was introduced to the Radler as the German sports drink.
I tried this in Germany and it was awful. Not refreshing at all, it tasted like sugary, watered-down beer.
I drink shandys all the time because I can't ever seem to drink a full pint of beer before everyone else is ready to move on to the next round or pub if it's a pub crawl, but I find it easier to drink a shandy.
I'm a little grossed out by shandies but probably because of one too many disgusting canned shandies when I was a kid (yeah, they let, or at least used to let kids, drink that stuff in the UK).
But shandygaff?! I'm all over that. And count me as another UK native and ginger fiend who has never heard of it.
here in Kansas, we make our Shandy with just plain non-sparkling lemonade. it is how my irish-ancestry farming family has been drinking them for generations. yum!
Or another drink popular in certain parts of Western Canada.. beer and tomato juice.
No I don't get it either.. but I've got relatives that swear by it!
There is also a variation with beer and clamato juice... has anyone else ever heard of this?
@Miss Moshi
I'm from BC, and live in alberta now, and beer and clam is always a popular drink (I actually learned it called a Chelada, but I've only heard that a few times, usually "beer with a side of clam") barf, regardless. actually, it brightens up some terrible beers if you don't mind the mild fishiness of clam with the mild yeastiness of beer.
I was taught that a "Shanty" was beer and ginger ale, but I appear to be wrong on all counts.
Nice to hear this drink is not just an insane Prairie drink ;)
I've always wondered what shandy is.. now I know.
I'd also recommend a slight dash of grenadine on top!
The Leinenkugel Summer Shandy is one of all-time favorite summer beers! Just a hint of lemon, enough to make it interesting and easy enough --- just pop one open and enjoy!
Our local brewhouse pub introduced me to the 'summer beer' (the version with a small shot of vodka). The Blind Tiger was just down the street from my old office and on a hot Friday afternoon after work, the whole tart, sparkling, just enough alchol - perfect.

Had some frozen pork tenderloin and this was the first recipe I happened to look at. Cubed it and pan-fried it (though only using the 1 TBSP of olive oil for cooking). Did not have paprika so used crushed red peppers instead and more than the recipe called for. Came out fantastic. For the salsa, used 2 of the local hot green peppers (jalapenos not easy to find in Beijing) - also came out great - spicy as all get out - only went with 1/2 TBSP of olvie oil on the salsa. Super easy, super fast. Thanks.

- Game One: Miguel Gonzalez vs. Derek Lowe
If it weren't for middling left-handers' ability to utterly shut down the Indians offense, Derek Lowe might have earned his ninth win in his last outing. Though he made it through six innings of three hit, three run ball with four walks and five strikeouts, the Indians didn't do him any favors. Though he's been bit by the walk bug a couple times this year (giving up six bases on balls one outing, four in another among other blips) it's the fact he's only striking out 3.3 per nine innings (career 5.8 K/9) that has probably led to his struggles now and then. He's still the solid pitcher he's always been, but the O's have never been his favorite and his last time facing them, back in June, he gave up seven runs on six hits with three walks. Matt Wieters tagged him for a three-run shot and a couple O's had multi-hit games. He just needs to pitch better, and he did show the rest he got from the All-Star break helped a little when he pitched so well against Toronto. The Tribe just needs to help him out.
This will be Miguel Gonzalez's third career start, as the Orioles are mining their minor leagues for some semblance of a pitching staff. The young Gonzalez has pitched 24.1 innings in his rookie year and in his two starts this season he went seven against the Los Angeles Angels allowing three hits, giving up two walks and one run, and against the Detroit Tigers he lasted five and a third, giving up three runs and walking five. In six minor league seasons including a stint at Rancho Cucamonga he pitched 437 ⅔ innings and struck out 349 while allowing 399 hits and 122 walks with 38 homers. He logged a 3.86 ERA, but in his 49 triple-A innings that was at 1.69. Maybe he pitches better as the competition gets better, or maybe he's a decent middle of the rotation pitcher who will have a long and somewhat distinguished career. With how Orioles pitching has been the last decade, they'd take that in a second.
- Game Two: Chris Tillman vs. Zach McAllister
Right now, Zach McAllister is the Indians' best pitcher. He's struck out 46 batters through 48 1/3 innings this year with only 26 runs scored, 17 earned. Though he wasn't throwing the fire he'd been his last start in Tampa, he hung in the low 90's and kept the Rays mostly quiet all night. Whether this is all smoke and mirrors because the league doesn't have a book on him yet or he's the real deal remains to be seen, but his 3.73 SIERA backs up his 3.11 ERA to some degree, and he's getting guys to swing and miss at an average level at least, 8.2 percent. It's a little exciting to watch him throw because you cant' help but get excited when he does well. The Indians haven't gotten really lucky in a while, maybe this is it.
We'll see yet another youngster for the Orioles. This will be Chris Tillman's third start this season. He's only 24 but has started 38 games in the majors so far, with pretty terrible results. He's struck out only 5.9 per nine in his major league career and given up 10.7 hits per nine. Of course, his average outing is only 4.9 innings, so he just gets knocked around. He hasn't given up a homer this year though. In 689 minor league innings he struck out 8.9 per nine and lasted much longer per start, so he could just be a young kid trying to find his way in the world. This is yet another chance for Cleveland to take advantage of a young guy's mistakes, get some good swings going and springboard to some Murderer's Row type stuff. Plus, if Gonzalez doesn't last the night prior, the bullpen will be weak and doughy, easy to take advantage of.
- Game Three: Zach Britton vs. Josh Tomlin
The real plus to having Tomlin face the O's is their inability to work a walk (12th in the league) and their love of swinging big (first in the AL in strikeouts). Of course, with TOmlin this will likely mean a homer or two but we all know that's what will happen. The thing is though, he seems to have been nibbling a bit more of late than we're used to seeing. The best thing about Josh was his brass… guts… and how much he pounded the zone. It's what made him a starter. He walked five Orioles back in June though, and that was just so unlike him. The bounce back against the Rays, seven innings of three hit, one run ball, was a nice return to form so perhaps our boy Radinsky got into his head. He can't have another outing like that one against Baltimore in June, so here's his greatest chance for redemption.
A season ago, Zach Britton was the toast of Baltimore, a young stud of a pitcher who was going to lead the Orioles into a shining future of dominance and Yankee smashing. Then the league caught up with him, he faded in the summer heat and pressure of the AL East, and ended the season with a 91 ERA+. Still, he carried himself well and for a 23-year old (now 24) he did well for himself considering the savage lineups he had to face. He held a surging Yankees team scoreless for seven innings as late as August 28th, throwing 120 pitches, so the Orioles might have something here. Britton made his first start of the 2012 season on July 17 against the Minnesota Twins, throwing 100 pitches in four innings and taking the loss after giving up four runs on six hits and six walks. At least he had balance. The Indians need to keep him off-balance because the kid has talent, just some still-shaky confidence.
- Game Four: Justin Masterson (?) vs. Tommy Hunter
Why the question mark? Well, Indians.com has TBA listed as the probable pitcher, and last I heard he was tied up elsewhere. Never seems to make the start he's listed for. Masterson continues his schizophrenic season, following up seven shutout innings against the Blue Jays by not being able to get out of the fifth in Tampa, allowing four runs on seven hits and seven(!) walks. The plate just wasn't in the direction he was throwing. He held the Orioles to two runs (one earned) over seven innings on July 1st and he's due for a dominant outing, so this is a nice way to wrap up the series – ace against, well, something else.
For some reason, Tommy Hunter just seems to come off as an old veteran. On this staff he is pretty much the elder statesman at this point even at 26, but maybe it's because he kind of looks like Colby Lewis to me, I keep thinking he's like 35. He isn't though, having made 38 career major league starts. He faced the Indians on June 30th and lasted 1 ⅔ innings of eight hit, five run ball after relieving Dana Eveland in the fourth inning. It was an ugly mopping up, slaughter house-esque really. Left-handed batters have an .842 OPS against Hunter and his 73 ERA+ is the worst of any of his years in the majors. Oddly, he had a 120 ERA+ with the Texas Rangers (that's where the Colby Lewis thing comes from!) in 22 starts but just hasn't been the same since coming to Baltimore. Go figure, you come to a pitcher-friendly park and pitch worse. Maybe the air is bad.
This series could end up forcing a lot of decisions for both clubs. If either earns a sweep the other will be below .500, a first for the Orioles this year and the first time since April 14th for the Tribe. It could mean the difference between holding steady, buying or selling at the deadline. It's odd for a midseason series between Baltimore to have so much weight behind it, but hey, it'll be fun. These guys know the stakes.

Every once in a while here at Dateline our video journalists are fortunate to meet some truly inspiring people. Our next story fits that bill exactly. David Brill has been in Korea where a pastor has devoted his life to caring for society's outcasts, many of whom are babies only a few months old. More remarkable still is the way they are delivered into his loving care. Here is David.
REPORTER: David Brill
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): Baby, baby! Baby-box, baby-box.
It's a moment Pastor Lee Jong Rak has experienced many times. The arrival of a new bundle, a new born left in his purpose-built baby box. In South Korea hundreds of unwanted babies are abandoned every year. Many are dumped on the streets.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): Jesus, she is beautiful.
This little girl is one of the lucky ones.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): Hello.
Pastor Lee's two storey house doubles as an orphanage, a noisy and chaotic place filled with love. Helped by a handful of volunteers the pastor and his wife care for 18 children and young adults, most have mental or physical disabilities. All were abandoned. The couple have adopted 10 as their own, as many as the authorities will allow.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): The prejudice against disabled people is severe. People neglect them. They find them repugnant. They don't treat them with respect. They don't treat them as human beings. I can see that if they had gone elsewhere, they would have died, I am glad they have come here, I'm so thankful that I am able to help them.
SEO LEE JONG, VOLUNTEER (Translation): This little one loves it when people touch her like this… she loves the human touch, she loves piggybacks too.
Volunteer Seo Kee Ja introduces me to Seul, who has lived here since she was eight.
SEO LEE JONG (Translation): She is 20 years old this year, she looks like baby, right? She can't do anything by herself.
REPORTER: Without Pastor Lee what would happen to somebody like this girl here?
SEO LEE JONG (Translation): She would probably have gone into a government facility. It would have been difficult for her.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): I was a little late today, eh? I am sorry my son.
Pastor Lee's labour of love began nearly three decades ago with the birth of his disabled son Eun-Man.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): It was through this child that it all started. After my son fell ill, he had to go to hospital for 14 years. For almost 14 years we practically lived at the hospital. I remember there were kids in hospital without their parents, so we had some of those children from that hospital come into our care, and that is how we started.
As his orphanage grew, Pastor Lee became concerned about the number of unwanted babies being abandoned. In typical style he decided to do something about it.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): The baby-box was set up in December 2009 and we had our first baby arrive in March 2010. When you open the door of the baby-box, a light turns on to show where they're placing their child. There is also a bell that rings when the baby arrives.
Up to 18 babies a month end up in the pastor's arms. This footage shows the arrival of one of them. The young mother is a high school student unable to care for her son. She carefully places her baby in the box, a life changing event that takes a matter of seconds.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): "I'm in year 12, I have made a simple mistake that I cannot bear or handle."
Sometimes notes are left with the babies. They are heartbreaking to read.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): "I am very sorry - I know leaving my baby in this baby-box is wrong. I will bear this guilt for the rest of my life. I am sorry, I am sincerely sorry."
REVEREND KIM DO HYUN: He has a fantasy that what he is doing is the only solution but I don't believe it.
Reverend Kim Do Hyun runs KoRoot, an organisation that helps adoptees find their birth parents. He claims mothers are being persuaded to abandon their children.
REVEREND KIM DO HYUN: His baby box system itself is a separation system between child and mum. He's too enthusiastic about what he is doing as saving children, saving lives. But his idea and mind is so narrow, that's why he can't see the other side of society.
REPORTER: The Big Picture?
REVEREND KIM DO HYUN: The big picture, yes.
I'm about to see for myself how the baby - box works.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): Baby? Yeah. Oh! Oh. So beautiful, I think the mother tried caring for the baby… she looks about one month old.
Left with the baby is a bag with fresh clothes and a simple note with her birth details.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): Less than one month old, she was born March 24. I think she has pooed. Look, she's got a dummy.
The babies that come here to me are the ones who'd otherwise die. Some come naked, some come with their umbilical cords still attached, so these babies come from dire situations. Without the baby-box, these babies would die.
There are huge social pressures at play. In South Korea's conservative society the idea of a perfect family is prized and having a baby out of wedlock is seen as deeply shameful. Women who fall pregnant out of marriage can find themselves being pushed by their families to have abortions or put their child up for adoption.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): There are teenage single mothers who buy drugs to kill themselves and their babies. What do you do? You have to save the mother and the baby. I tell them to come to me.
CHOI SEUNG-EUN (Translation): Eun-chong, give mummy a kiss? I missed you.
As a newborn Eun-chong was abandoned by his mother and spent two years in Pastor Lee's care. Just a week ago he was taken in by a new foster family after a long and exhausting process.
CHOI SEUNG-EUN (Translation): The adoption process is very complicated because the law actually precludes Eun-chong from adoption. He is alone, he has no parents, no one to check his formal identity, no official documents and no-body knew where he came from so he can't be legally adopted.
Choi Seung-Eun and her husband have found tough new adoption laws frustrating. They are designed to reduce the number of South Korean babies adopted abroad. But they involve much more rigorous screening of prospective parents and require all children to be registered at birth.
CHOI SEUNG-EUN (Translation): I understand why they make adoptive parents go through such strict examinations but for the child, the waiting process is extremely difficult.
Although he is not yet adopted Eun-chong is lucky. But given the new complications many other abandoned children like him face a life in state care.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): There are 3700 kids that are stuck in orphanages because they're not getting adopted.
With desperate mothers often unwilling to register unwanted babies Pastor Lee's baby box has never been busier.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): They give them up, the law forces them to. Before the new adoption law we used to have one or two babies come in and three at the most. However, since the new law in August 2012 17 to 18 babies per month have come through the baby-box. That's a significant leap.
MIN HYUN JU, MP: Throwing away the baby in the baby box without registration - that's a crime. They should keep in mind, they should know that.
The authorities take a dim view of the pastor's baby box. They've ordered him to shut it down. Min Hyun Ju is an MP who has been closely involved in the revision of the adoption laws.
MIN HYUN JU: Whatever choices the parents have, they must register their baby to the government. That's not the parents' right. That's baby's right. Their human right.
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): If people say the baby-box is illegal then we can make it legal. There is nothing illegal with saving someone's life. God bless this baby's future, and let her be protected, nurtured and healed in Your name. This baby has to leave soon, so I prayed for God's blessing on her. I prayed for God's guidance in her life and that she will grow to become an influential person in the world.
REPORTER: What will happen to this baby now? Will it be adopted or not?
PASTOR LEE JONG RAK (Translation): The baby will be taken to the children's hospital to get medically examined. If the baby is healthy, it will be sent to an adoption agency at once, it'll be sent to the orphanage. The baby has already been abandoned once - she will be sent to a different place and then to another… and this really breaks my heart. I hope the baby can find happiness soon and find adoptive parents. It saddens my heart. Bye.

I know I post all the time with no context. Thats probably bad, I dont know. Anyway I just finished an honours year for a visual arts degree. It was a pretty good thing I think. These pictures are from the grad show.
I posted the above drawings separately a few months ago. This is how they were hung together. One of my old lecturers wanted to buy the very bottom one but I sort of couldn't part with it, or part it from the others. Which was dumb, I should have just let it go probably.

After ALLLL we know about the government and the NSA/CIA/FBI stealing info from phones, WHY IN THE NAME OF THE GODS WOULD I GIVE THEM MY FINGERPRINT?!?!?!?!
>giving your fingerprint to a device which is essentially territory of your service provider and knows all your interests, locations, activities, and personal data
the fuck are they going to do with a finger print, they already know if you're looking up lolicon.
Give it to police authorities, most likely.
*clicks iPhone*
*iPhone scans fingerprint*
"yo man I smoked weed, drank a fifth and drove drunk last night"
*hits send*
*clicks iPhone*
*iPhone scans fingerprint*
Not only did you just send a written confession to the DEA/FBI/Local Police, you also literally signed it with your god damn finger print.
Well, I USED to love the iphone.
you know there's PROBABLY a way of disabling that right?
How do you know it doesn't read your thumb print even if you turn it off? Can it be turned on remotely by the gov?
Hahah thank god I already hate the fucking iphone anyways.
*casually points out that if you watch the whole video and actually listen there's a specific way it is stored and how it is only stored to that device and oh wait, not everything is a government conspiracy*
And more importantly the government don't give a shit bout your fucked up life they just need dem terrorists and murderers yo.

What is Humanity?
What makes us human? Is it the struggle of base nature versus elevated reason? Is it a balance between selfish survival and selfless charity towards others? Is it the development of something greater, a soul? Or are we nothing more than aggressive expansionistic creatures of instinct, draped in guise of rationality? Are we no different than any other species, only achieving dominance because we are the current evolutionary best that has yet to be sent into entropy by the Darwinian reaper? What are we, does a duality exist, has humanity been elevated to a greater plane, or are we creatures of nature, that have progressed rapidly due to the advantages we have been give? As Plato stated "know thyself", what is humanity?
Apr 26 2011: what is wisdom and can wisdom be found in DNA?
what makes human is our wisdom.
human has soul and animals have it too.
human has DNA and animals have it too.
even human have DNA 100% same as ape. still ape has not wisdom.
just wisdom is special for human.
Apr 26 2011: I think humanity is a peak, the culmination of the domino effect of human interaction that shaped us cognitively, socially, and biologically as the creatures we are today. The ontological state we find ourselves in now can be analyzed from many different perspectives, and hence humanity can be defined in several different ways, by analyzing our development through certain modes of thought over time. For instance, we can be defined by our ability to create culture, in our ability to create new technologies, in our ability to solve problems, or our ability to show compassion. In regards to whether or not we are natural, I think that all planes acting on our existence seem to be naturally occurring, though some would often describe certain phenomena that are beyond our comprehension as being spiritual. I think that humanity may be a blend between the two, the focal point around which material nature and the incomprehensible realm of creativity and emotion finds an outlet. Evolutionarily, it might just be that we found out all the tools that other animals couldn't. But does this make us particularly special? Given our position in time and space, we as humans have the most power, the most ability to influence our environment, and (arguably) the most intellect. As individuals, we have the ability to feel emotional connections, follow thought processes, and o reproduce those thoughts in physical reality. So, I think, perhaps maybe just in certain realms of existence or maybe more, we have a great deal of responsibility on this planet. So I think the abilities that we have been given, or have evolved, or have figured out over the course of history should be indicative of the degree of compassion we show for this planet. I mean, since we're stretching our legs in every other aspect of human capacity, might as well let our emotions connect a bit. I think that might be where were at now. What do you think?

Suddenly can't see thumbnails when I try to "get photos"
Hi—I've done 6 or 7 books without a problem but now when I go to get photos from my computer, I cannot see the thumbnails so I don't know which pictures I want to bring in. I see them fine in "My Pictures", Photoshop and every other application, just not in Booksmart. I tried downloading and reinstalling Booksmart. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
Lark: The current version of BookSmart has a minor glitch in this respect. But it's not difficult. Open you Windows display of the images (sounds like your My Pictures, or appropriate sub-folder of that) at the same time as you have BookSmart open. Pull the My Pictures across to the side somewhat and you will be able to drag the images directly into their BookSmart Image boxes. I'm not expert, but I think with experiment you'll find that OK.

Why won't the doctor give me my records?
Doctors and hospitals are required by law to maintain copies of medical records and they are further required by law to produce copies of those records to patients if the pateint requests them. Obviously, you need to sign a release form, which the doctor's office can provide, but this is not a big deal. Once you sign the form, there is absolutely no reason that you should be prevented from obtaining your records. Despite what many office manager's may tell you, you do not even need to give them a reason. They are your records and you are entitled to them.
There are a few things you need to understand with medical records. The law gives the doctor or hospital 30 days to produce the records. So, just because they don't give them to you the moment you ask for them doesn't mean they are doing anything wrong. However, if they go beyond the 30 days, they are in serious violation of the law. In fact, every day beyond the 30 days is a seperate violation of the law which brings a seperate penalty.
Also, they are entitled to charge a "reasonable" fee for copying the records. If you only have a few pages they typically don't charge, but if you have a significant amount they are allowed to be paid the costs of copying them. What is "reasonable" is obviously open to interpretation.
If you are trying to get records on behalf of an adult relative things are a little different. You may need to show that you have power of attorney to obtain the records, even if you are the person's spouse. If you are trying to get the records of a deceased relative you will likely need to show that you have been appointed as the executor of the person's estate and that you are entitled to the records. However, many facilities will give the records to a spouse, without formal appointment, if you provide a copy of the death certificate.
If you are obtaining records because you are considering pursuing a medical malpractice lawsuit against a provider you should keip in mind a few other issues. First, the hospital or doctor will most likely NOT give you all of the records, even though you asked for them. It may not be a malicious attempt to prevent you from learning something, it may just be a misquided attempt to not overwhelm you with a ton of records. Either way, you should just assume that they are not giving you everything you ask for. Second, it may be advantageous to avoid letting the health care provider know that you are investigating a lawsuit. There have been cases were records are lost, altered, or added to, after people learn there is a possibility they might get sued.

My name is Kevin Hauser and I am the Director of New Business Development for MedeFile International. I had come across your blog in doing some research. I believe MedeFile can help many individuals that are having this problem.
In brief, MedeFile is an electronic medical records management service that collects, digitizes, stores, and organizes all of our member's ACTUAL medical records. MedeFile gives you the member, the ability to access your complete medical history 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from virtually anywhere in the world. In addition, we provide each BASIC and Premium MedeFile member with a MedeDrive. The MedeDrive is a portable USB device that works with any Windows based PC. This device simply plugs in to a USB port and instantly auto loads that member's vital emergency information (Allergies, Medications, Medical Alerts, Emergency Contacts, etc). The MedeDrive also has a password protected area that contains all of that member's ACTUAL medical records as well. The MedeDrive does NOT require any internet connection in order to view its contents and can be updated anytime with no additional charges.
Our system also provides for the storage of Vital Documents. These may include your Advanced Directives (Living Wills, DNR's, Health Care Proxies), as well as other important documents. MedeFile has been featured on various news segments with regard to the devastating Hurricanes we have seen in the recent years. MedeFile may also qualify as a medical expense under a Medical Information Plan in IRS Publication 502.
It is important to note that MedeFile does the work for its members. We contact the providers and collect the records on their behalf. I urge you to visit our website at www.medefile.com for more information. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am Mark came to your blog while searching for medical negligence blogs as this is my hubby. Hmmmm it is really quite confused. A medical record is a reference for each patient containing valuable information about the patient like the patient's name, address, date of birth etc. The medical record also serves as a medical history for each patient and contains documentation regarding the patient's former illnesses, symptoms, diagnosis and treatments. Usually, medical records are maintained independently by each healthcare provider having an association with the patient. Medical Negligence solicitors.

Manifesto for Scotland's Referendum
UCU Scotland's manifesto for Scotland's Referendum calls on all sides of the constitutional debate to outline their commitment to Scotland's universities.
UCU is calling on all sides to publicly support adequate funding for Scotland's universities, to back Scotland's four-year honours degrees and to reject student tuition fees.
The union also wants Scotland's diverse university sector to continue to have the freedom to determine its own teaching and research and reiterated its calls for an end to the use of exploitative zero-hours contracts.
There are some very important questions to be answered over the next eleven months before Scotland votes in the historic referendum. UCU looks forward to debating the key issues with all sides and encouraging our members to get involved in the discussion.

You can fabricate a story that makes you feel good. Or, you can face reality. Too many investors opt for comfort over truth. You can see it in their performance.
Master how to admit you're wrong and you will be one step closer to living a happy, fulfilling and successful life.
"Always question yourself and your ability. Don't ever feel that you are very good. The second you do, you are dead." - Paul Tudor Jones
A little advice…
I've copy and pasted what I think are some excellent points regarding work and wealth from Rick Rule:
TD: Rick, if I can ask you about the concept of becoming rich to be blunt, based on your experience, what are some of the characteristics that you feel lead to becoming rich as an outcome?
RR: Not focusing on becoming rich is one. Focusing on delivering value. You gain utility by providing utility. Simply put, if you make rich people richer, they will make sure that you get rich. So I think [it's] doing something that you love that adds value to other people, so that your work isn't work. It's something that you can't help but do.
People look at me and tell me I'm an extraordinarily hard worker. The truth is in a conventional sense, that is with regards to my vocation as an obligation, I've never worked a day in my life. I've only had fun.
I have expended a hell of a lot of energy having fun and I've made stupendous sums of money, but it has to do with the fact that I really like what I'm doing. So it's very easy to add utility for others because it's like playing for me.
The second thing is that particularly earlier in your career, you must be thrifty. You can't be a capitalist if you don't have capital and if what you want out of money is bass boats or fancy clothes or vacations, you're doomed to being upper middle class at best.
If what you want with money is to make money, as opposed to spend money, what you learn is that compounding interest is truly the eighth wonder of the world but you can't enjoy compounding interest if you don't have any principal.
So to become rich, one must save and one must save absolutely ruthlessly, absolutely ruthlessly. One must save every paycheck. One can't defer savings. One can defer and must defer spending but you cannot when you're early in life defer savings.
It's important to teach your children to save and to save every week. It's critical if you want your children to be rich. I'm not trying to say that being rich is the be-all, end-all. The third thing, getting from rich to being really, really rich is that you have to take chances. I've had the good fortune in my life to know 12, 15, 20 self-made billionaires and what segregates the billionaires, what segregates the people to get that last digit is guts.
You have to take risks. You have to see a situation that you think has outsized possibility of reward and you have to really, really, really swing for the fence. I'm reminded of George Soros who said that he became a billionaire by finding "broadly held public precepts that were wrong and betting against them," when he had the cash and the courage to stay the trade.
Before he beat the Bank of England on his raid of the British pound, he had a negative margin carry of I don't know, $40 million, $50 million a month for a long time. It was a lonely expensive trade and his partners were very, very, very critical of him until he made several billion dollars when he won.
Every billionaire I know has been willing to take bets that were contrary to conventional wisdom at the time that were highly risky. Another example would be John Paulson when he was short the housing market.
You remember John Paulson sort of got short US housing in 2006 and he was a lonely human being in the period 2006 to 2008. Every month, he was writing millions of dollars of checks on a margin carry on his bet.
Now, ultimately he made his investors $20 billion but he made his $20 billion by risking his entire fortune, a lot of money from his investors and his entire reputation over a two-year period of time. To get from being rich to being very rich, you have to take big, concentrated bets.
TD: Rick, for people that are looking for other people to invest in, what do you look for in deciding whether or not you should give your capital to someone whether it be the CEO of a company or otherwise?
RR: Passion, curiosity, experience and diligence. Passion meaning that you don't want somebody working for you who works eight hours a day. You want somebody who thinks about what they're doing 24 hours a day.
Diligence means somebody who isn't satisfied having an opinion with regards to the big picture, but in fact has done a deep dive and done due diligence on their specific area of investment expertise.
Money is made in the micro, not on the macro. Determination, you need somebody who can overcome what are going to be inevitable difficulties, somebody who isn't discouraged but somebody who is really, really, really tenacious.
And curiosity. When you think you know everything about something, you're set up to lose a lot of money. There are always facts that you don't know. There are always people who know more than you. The facts always change. You have to keep up with them.
So the good investor's mind is constantly curious. The good investor is always starting conversations and is shutting up and listening to gather more information about other people. Looking not for information that supports his or her existing paradigm, but rather information that challenges the paradigm and alters the paradigm.

Let's see... bloggin about fitness & health. I've blogged before, but it's mostly been on my MySpace & just about stuff in general going on in my life. Not to mention I knew the people reading it, so there was a sense of safety there.
I've been a member of SparkPeople since late March (well, according to the page, because I sure don't remember.) I had gone on daily for a little while & was tracking my food, but I we had dial-up at home at the time, and it took me FOREVER to add a meal. I kind of fell off the wagon there.
As far as workin out goes, I bought my boyfriend a gym membership for Christmas, and got one for myself at the same time. Well, the hard part for me on that was I'd either work out way too hard and be hurtin for days or not work out hard enough and not feel it the next day at all. So there goes my exercise wagon.
Food...well, I try to eat healthy most of the time. My bp is high so I've been trying to watch my sodium, and my dr/nurse practioner actually has me on a precription for it. My cholesterol also is high & I'm on a prescription for that, too. I HATED the fact I needed to go on meds for it. I just felt too young to be on medication. I'm only 27. Plus, the fact it's not as if I don't try. I don't really eat red meat, pastries, candy, or fried food. I've cut down on my soda a lot. I do have those meals where I do have ice cream after dinner or chips while I'm watching t.v.
T.V...yeah, that's another issue. Since I started my new job last June & my new schedule I've started watching t.v. WAY TOO MUCH. I hate it in general in the fact I could be reading a book or just being outside enjoying the outdoors. It's just become a habit. Here's to new habits, huh?

CAAMFest 2014 Review: NĀ LOEA: MĀLAMA MO'OMOMI
The CAAMFest screening of Family Ingredients was preceded by the short film NĀ LOEA: MĀLAMA MO'OMOMI. Read the capsule review below.
Mālama Moʻomomi is part of a PBS short film series which, according to director/writer Keoni Lee, depicts the lives of "Native Hawaiian practitioners," including tattooing, language, and taro restoration. Mālama Moʻomomi focuses on the story of Kelson "Mac" Poepoe, an elder fisherman known locally for his knowledge of traditional Hawaiian fishing practices. The film is an intimate but unfortunately too brief look into the fishing life and insightful reflections of Poepoe with gestures toward larger, provocative subjects like alternative notions of "sustainability" and the deleterious effects of commercialism. The Nā Loea: The Masters series is supposed to come to PBS in May.

What if you could accurately forecast patient demand one day, one week, even one month out rather than having to scramble to match staff to patients who have already arrived? How would that change a typical day for everyone involved in patient care? How would it affect labor costs?
With the right tools and data, patient demand is surprisingly predictable. This session will describe how Lion's Gate Hospital, a division of Vancouver Coastal Health in British Columbia, has been using predictive analytics since 2010 to staff to anticipated volume and adjust for patient flow by day, week and surgeon, as well as forecast volume for the ED and surgical units. By reliably forecasting demand with a 95 percent accuracy rate, in one year they saved $1.4 million in overtime savings and increased revenue by $1.5 million.
