I have to say I'm rather upset. The description of this product is misleading (including terms like (vegetable source) and vegetable coating,nowhere it is written that this is not suitable for vegetarians. I spent a good amount of time doing some research on the internet to find out where Now Foods L-Cysteine is derived from, after reading another review here of somebody wondering the same thing. Finally I found it on Now Food's homepage ( not under product description) but in a different section. L-Cysteine derived from Whey or Chicken Feathers. I feel defrauded, because in the way they put this product description it is not obvious at all that this is an animal based product - which by the way is fine - but being so vague and inexplicit gives me the impression that this is yet another company that most probably knowingly conceals the precise description in order to make some more bucks.
Good Brand And Product, Works....

This is a wonderful product! I have been using it for almost 6 months and after about 4 weeks I noticed an improvement with daily hair loss. I can honestly say that it has cut my hair loss by at least 50% and my hair is more abundant and the longest it has ever been (have not cut it in 31/2 months). This product has not changed the texture or diameter of my hair but hair loss, especially with hair washing, has improved beyond my expectations. I have not experienced any side effects such as the after taste that has been reported and I take it along with other antioxidants.

House Democratic leaders say they can't stop the Republican-led Legislature from moving right-to-work legislation limiting unions' power.
But they plan to vote down other bills including one helping finance a Detroit project featuring a new home for the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.
House Democratic Leader Richard Hammel told reporters Monday that rejecting the tax credits for the $650 million development is part of a protest against the rushed actions by Republican lawmakers and GOP Gov. Rick Snyder in the session's waning days.
Democratic officials say they also expect that the Detroit-related legislation passed last week by the Senate still will be approved by the House.
The Legislature introduced and approved right-to-work bills Thursday as thousands of protesters massed inside and outside the Capitol. Snyder has pledged to sign them.
Democratic members of Michigan's congressional delegation and those serving in the state Legislature are pressing their case against right-to-work legislation in the final hours before its likely passage.
Sen. Carl Levin and House Democrats met with Republican Gov. Rick Snyder Monday and say they urged him to veto the bills limiting unions' power that he has pledged to sign. Meanwhile, Michigan House leaders called for more debate before the GOP-led Legislature takes final action on the measures as early as Tuesday.
The state House and Senate approved bills last week that would prohibit requiring non-union employees to financially support unions at their workplace.
Lansing authorities are bracing for an onslaught of protesters Tuesday. They have increased police presence and plan road closings and parking restrictions around the Capitol.

quick question:
Are you 21

or over?
Crunchy, salty corn nuts? Coated in chocolate and cocoa powder? You don't have to tell us twice. When Tumbador sent over a sample of these salty-sweet treats, we didn't even wait until our weekly tasting meeting to break into the box.
With an audible crunch, it's probably best to leave them outside of soulful dramas at the cini-plex, exam rooms or yoga studios.
Dark chocolate (cacao beans, cacao butter, pure cane sugar, soy lecithin, vanilla), corn, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (canola oil or soybean oil, salt), sugar, water, cacao powder, sea salt. Comes in a 6 oz box. NOTE: Produced in a facility that handles nuts, eggs, wheat and soy.
This product is temperature-sensitive and requires special shipping and handling, so it arrives in perfect condition:
1) SURCHARGE: There's a additional charge per order which covers the cost of extra packaging and in many cases, expedited shipping. This charge is $8-30 for the Continental US, more elsewhere. The further away from NY, the greater the surcharge.
2) SCHEDULE: Orders with this item are only shipped Monday-Wednesday, so nothing gets stuck on a hot truck over the weekend.
Thanks for understanding!

Well, we knew it was only a matter of days, in fact hours, before someone would tear apart Sony's newest video game console, the Slim PS3. Based on iFixit's walk through it looks surprisingly easily to dismantle and best of all it appears as if only a few screws need to be removed to unhinge the 120GB hard drive. In fact, the hard drive is just a standard issued Toshiba laptop drive (model #:MK1255GSX) so there shouldn't be anything stopping you from swapping it out for a 320GB or 500GB. Unless of course the machine's firmware prevents this sort of thing, but I'm sure someone will find a work around when need be.
I wonder what the implications of tossing in a 7200rpm drive with a higher cache would be? Faster load times?

If you've bought a Peg Perego baby stroller with a tray, please check it.
The company has recalled about 223,000 of its strollers after finding that children can become trapped and strangled between the trays on the strollers.
The Fort Wayne, Ind. company said a 6-month-old boy strangled to death in a stroller in 2004, while a 7-month-old girl was nearly strangled in 2006. The company recall includes Venezia and Pliko-P3 strollers made between January 2004 and September 2007. Only strollers with a child tray and one cup holder are part of the recall.
Read more about the recall here.
According to the company, the model numbers for the recalled Pliko-P3 stroller include IPFR28US34xxxxxxxx, IPFT28NA63, IPFT28NA64, IPP328MU10, IPP328MU09, IPP328US09, IPP328US10, IPP329US10, IPPA28US32, IPPA28US33, IPPA28US34, IPPD28NA34, IPPF28NA32, IPPF28NA57, IPPF28NA65, IPPF28NA66, IPPF28NA67, IPPF28NA68, IPPO28US32, IPPO28US34, IPPO28US62, IPPO28US69, IPPO28US70, and IPPO28US71.
The model number is printed on a white label on the back of the Pliko P-3's stroller seat.
If you own a recalled Peg Perego stroller, stop using it and contact Peg Perego for a free repair kit. Call Peg Perego at 888-734-6020, or visit www.PegPeregoUSA.com for more information.

Do we have some modern day jump the gun here? I looked at this strollers picture online. It looks no different than a million other strollers. Some one just got the head phones on instead of listening to their child? Much much room between seat and tray. Who would put a child who can't hold their head up in a seat of this knd anyway? Looks like a parenting issue to me. Like ten thousand other things these days.
Does everyone low not to take their hair dryer into the bath, and not to let your kids pla with dry cleaner bags?

The Next JavaScript...
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
I don't have any experience with developing what I'd call a large JavaScript application, but we are starting to develop an extension of PC-Doctor for Windows that uses JavaScript in numerous places to control its behavior. In my dreams, I imagine that it will eventually become a large application made up of plugins that run on JavaScript.
Let's go through the major features that the committee thinks I'll need as our technology gets bigger...

The Cost of Complexity
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
This article is going to have more questions in it than answers. It's about a problem in software development that I'm not sure I've worried about enough. I've certainly thought about it for specific cases, but this is the first time I've tried to think about the problem in general.
My main question revolves around the cost of complexity in software. There is certainly a large cost in making software more complex. Maintenance becomes more difficult. Teaching new employees about the project becomes harder. In the end, you will get fewer engineers who understand a complex project than a simple one.
Unfortunately, almost any non-refactoring work will add to the complexity of a project. However, some changes can have a large effect on the complexity in a short period of time. Adding a new library or technique to the code base, for example, will make it so that the new technology will have to be understood by people working on the project.
What I really want to know is how much can this cost of complexity be mitigated? Besides switching libraries to add, what can be done to decrease the cost? My question is based on the assumption that some complexity is essential. So, given that you're going to add a new library to the code base, for example, what can be done to reduce the cost?

Running Rails on Debian Etch
Monday, April 7, 2008
As the company Rails evangelist one of my challenges has been working out a consistent and understandable deployment strategy. One of the biggest challenges is that I may not have access to the root user acct. Additionally we are generally required to stay within the Etch distro, going with Lenny (testing) requires special approval. A final challenge is that compilers are not allowed on the production server.
The "Ruby gem problem" is the result of not having access to the root user acct. On development servers Ruby gems are easily managed using the root acct with the "gem" command. But without root on the production server, how do get our gems installed? Well, you might think we can just request the owner of the root acct to install gems, but not so fast - the gem command does not place files in accordance with the Linux FHS (see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html). And furthermore, the manager of the server has no interest in keeping track of Ruby gems and managing them seperately. If it's not related to "apt", you've got some explaining to do.

The Visitor Pattern as an Alternative to OOP
Monday, April 7, 2008
The visitor pattern from the GoF is frequently overlooked by programmers who are used to object oriented programming. However, in some cases, it is significantly cleaner and easier to use than an overridden function. Unfortunately, it's easier to misuse as well, and, when it is used poorly, it can be a real mess.
I was going to tell you about my static analysis project and how I'm using the visitor pattern there. Then I took a glance at the wikipedia article on the visitor pattern. It's clearly written by a OOP fanatic who's never seen the alternatives, so I'm going to contrast my implementation of visitor with the one there.
The contrast is useful because wikipedia's implementation is written using object oriented principles. Part of my goal with this post is to explain about OO alternatives. My implementation is written using compile time polymorphism rather than runtime polymorphism. As we'll see, this is significantly prettier and more flexible than runtime polymorphism.

Alternatives to Object Oriented Programming
Thursday, April 3, 2008
Object oriented programming is extremely popular these days. It's so popular that some people aren't even aware of alternatives to it. The reason its popular is clear: OOP works well a lot of the time. Traditional object oriented programming styles have some significant disadvantages in some circumstances, however. Some of the alternatives are worth looking into when those disadvantages become awkward.
As part of the static analysis project that I'm working on, I'm trying to use alternatives wherever I can. In part, this is because the advantages are substantial for the project I'm working on, but I'm also curious how far it can go and what will happen when I push it too far.

Apple MacBook Air Hacked In Two Minutes
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Apple's MacBook Air was hacked in just two minutes at the CanSecWest security conference's PWN 2 OWN hacking contest, with former National Security Agency employee Charlie Miller walking away with a $10,000 prize.
My thoughts - Charlie Miller and others live in an interesting dichotomy of worlds between good and bad. They make good money exploiting digital weaknesses and for now, do good by reporting weaknesses to manufacturers. The pull to exploit others for their own benefit must always weigh on their mind.
This reminds me of a marketing principle - one's best creativity comes when reflecting on one's most mischievous or devious past actions. Digging up those memories reminds us how we broke the rules then and gives us ideas how we can properly break the rules of "in-the-box" thinking today to create new and innovative marketing ideas.
Goes to show that little devil on my shoulder isn't so bad after all.
Requirements of a Language to Statically Analyze
Friday, March 21, 2008
For those of you just tuning in, I'm working on a project to statically analyze an untyped code base to try to bring some of the advantages of typed languages to the code base.
The first step is to figure out which language I should write a static analysis tool for. This is obviously an important decision with quite a few implications both at the beginning, during the creation of the parser, and at the end when we try to find an actively developed code base to look at.
The first requirement is that it be a relatively popular, untyped language. Let's look at some languages:

Mixing C and C++ Code
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
One of the early steps to my static analysis project is to parse the language that I'm going to analyze. I'd like to form a relatively clean Abstract Syntax Tree that I can play with later.
C++ has a lot of advantages over C for this sort of thing. It's got an enormous amount of machinery that can be used to build high level abstractions without sacrificing much more runtime overhead than you're willing to pay for.

Static Analysis of Untyped Languages
Monday, March 10, 2008
A while ago I wrote about whether or not untyped languages were a good idea or a bad idea. I didn't come to any real conclusions at the time, and it's bothered me. I'd like to outline a way to gather some real conclusions now. I still won't be able to come to a conclusion, but I think this approach sounds interesting.
There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to untyped languages. One of the disadvantages is that, because variables have no type, you can assign the wrong type to them. A strongly typed language can avoid most of this problem. (You might still have problems involving type conversion, but a good programmer or a strict language can avoid those problems.)

Netflix uses One Million Dollar Prize to Solve Customer Recommendation Software Problem
Thursday, March 6, 2008
I found this Netflix article just fascinating - Netflix has found a way to extract value from knowledge experts thousands of miles away who are giving the company value before ever getting paid.
We at PC-Doctor have our own software development challenges and we sure should look closely at the way Netflix is innovating. To sum up the problem. Netflix is trying to improve upon Cinematch, its movie recommending software, in an effort to increase and retain subscribers. To do so, it didn't hire more developers, it outsourced the work . . . sort of . . . or at least their model seems to work like outsourcing. Yet, their model is many times better.

This is one Ponderosa I'm not excited to see.
Tribal was REALLY weird. Malcolm announced that he had 2 idols and gave one of the to Eddie....before the vote. That threw the others into a frenzy. Malcolm announced that his 3 were voting for Phillip. Phillip told his group to vote as they had planned. I think he was gambling that they wold not actiually play the idols. Sadly for Phillip, they played them and Phillip went to Ponderosa.
Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend...never owned a dog.
I'm sad for Phillip. what was his reaction?
Jeff was so confused during TC that he turned to the student of the game, Cochran, and asked for his analysis.
It's the first TC I have seen folks actively discussing among themselves who to vote for. I had come to think that wasn't allowed somehow.
As a fan of Survivor, I just have to say that was AWESOME!!
For the person who asked before, Dawn said she had only had 2-4 hours sleep in the last 3 days - so the paranoia was mainly from being over-tired.
And the person Cochran was eating what looked like peanut butter off of - Sherri.
This isnt the Sound of freaking Music were watching.......sdl
He did well. He just got unlucky. Come back a third time, please.
Bye bye delusional idiot!!

IBM is crucial to water districtJuly 09,2014The purpose of this letter is to document Champlain Water Districts elected Board of Water Commissioners support of the Greater Burlington Industrial Corp.s action in developing IBM Vermont: The Vermont Plan.
As you are aware, IBM is a significant water customer for CWD, averaging 3.24 million gallons per day for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. At this time IBMs daily usage is 34.35 percent of CWDs total daily facility production. As a high volume user for CWD, IBM has been the key factor is maintaining CWDs uniform wholesale water rate as one of the lowest in New England.
Continued high-volume industrial water usage will help ensure that CWDs uniform wholesale water rate remains near current levels for CWDs 70,000 Chittenden County customers. As a wholesaler to 12 municipal water systems in Chittenden County, CWDs uniform wholesale rate costs the average family $136 per year. Given that each community also has its own individual retail mark-up from the CWD uniform rate, CWDs uniform rate represents an average of 47 percent of the annual dollar amount charged to county customers across all 12 served water systems.
Since the vast majority of IBMs water usage relates directly to its wet process manufacturing, it is critical that this IBM site continues utilization of wet processes in order to maintain the extremely economical water rates to CWD customers going forward into the future. IBMs benefit to the Champlain Water District is only a small impact for the state of Vermont overall, therefore CWD certainly supports GBICs IBM Vermont: The Vermont Plan for IBM to continue to be the economic engine for our entire state.

Champlain Water District)

While Bass refused to confirm or deny the reunion, Joseph Fatone Sr., Joey Fatone's father, said that *NSYNC will indeed perform at tonight's awards show. "I don't even know what has gone into this performance. … I plead the fifth," Fatone Sr., said. "I would suggest that you tell all your readers and everyone on the Internet, all your social media, tell them to watch!" But while *NSYNC's Twitter debut seems to back what Fatone says, but it also may signal something bigger.
Artists like Prince and Kanye West join (and in West's case, re-starts) Twitter in anticipation of new music; signing up (and getting verified) just for a one-night reunion gig seems unnecessary. Justin Timberlake joined Instagram to signal the glittering comeback that was third album The 20/20 Experience. and back in 2006, *NSYNC shut down its website before it finally confirmed the group's break-up.
For now, what matters is that *NSYNC follows Lady Gaga on Twitter. Check out their page, then below, re-visit a few hints of what to expect: *NSYNC's VMA performances of "Bye Bye Bye" and "Pop" (featuring Michael Jackson, sigh), plus Timberlake's debut live gig as a solo artist.

"One year ago today, I met a stranger who changed my life. I thought talking to someone I don't know wouldn't be such a bad idea. We started to chat, and surprisingly, he was very nice, yet very upfront. I could tell that he was being real with himself, which I was very impressed with, since not a lot of people possess that kind of quality. As days went by, I felt more and more comfortable talking with him, and realized I was already falling for him. Luckily for me, he also felt the same way. Ever since then, we were inseparable. We were in love. All it took was a single click of the mouse to add up someone in Facebook. We were two ordinary human beings, who somehow got their way into each other's lives and changed everything."
While I was cleaning up files in my laptop and trying to get rid of documents that I won't be using anymore, I found this composition that I made for HIM last year, and decided to post it here to remind me of that story that once made me sweep me off my feet. </3

Celebrate Opening Day at the Hall of Fame
Home of Baseball Welcomes Fans From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday
March 30, 2011
COOPERSTOWN, NY – The long winter for baseball fans ends Thursday with the start of the 2011 season. And at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, Opening Day means a chance to celebrate at the home of the National Pastime.
The Hall of Fame will offer fans the opportunity to watch live coverage of Opening Day baseball where the game's pulse beats the strongest, starting with the Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees game at 1:05 p.m. in the Museum's Bullpen Theater. Fans can also test their knowledge of Opening Day history with trivia contests.
Admission to the celebration is included in the cost of Museum admission. This year marks the 136th season of Major League Baseball and the 72nd anniversary of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Thursday's games promise history on the diamond that will be recorded and preserved by the Hall of Fame. Several Hall of Famers have already made history in March 31, including:
- Hall of Fame first baseman Mule Suttles, a Negro leagues stalwart in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, was born on March 31, 1900, in Blocton, Ala.
- Two future Hall of Famers were traded for each other on March 31, 1958, when the Indians sent Dick Williams – inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008 as a manager – along with Bud Daley and Gene Woodling to the Orioles for Larry Doby – who was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1998 – and Don Ferrarese.
- Future Hall of Famer Wade Boggs hit the first home run in Tampa Bay Devil Rays history on March 31, 1998.
Among the many Opening Day items in the Museum's collection are: A ball thrown for the first pitch in Washington Nationals' history on April 4, 2005; Opening Day baseballs signed by Presidents Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson; and the ball from the ceremonial first pitch of the 2000 season, a game between the Cubs and Mets in Japan that marked the first regular-season Major League Baseball game played outside of North America.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is open seven days a week year round, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. The Museum observes regular hours of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. from Labor Day until Memorial Day Weekend. From Memorial Day through the day before Labor Day, the Museum is open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. seven days a week. Ticket prices are $19.50 for adults (13 and over), $12 for seniors (65 and over) and for those holding current memberships in the VFW, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion and AMVets organizations, and $7 for juniors (ages 7-12). Members are always admitted free of charge and there is no charge for children 6 years of age or younger. For more information, visit our Web site at baseballhall.org or call 888-HALL-OF-FAME (888-425-5633) or 607-547-7200.

Fedtraveler.Com Release Notification
Saturday, July 28, FedTraveler.com implemented a Software Release which included corrective actions and system changes. The changes became effective immediately following the implementation.
The Corrective Actions are as Follows:
Blanket Amended Expense Report Displays the Alternate Preparer's Name as the Traveler's Name:
If the blanket child travel Authorization and Expense Report were amended, the Traveler's name was incorrectly displayed as the Alternate Preparer's name on the Approval Page and the approval could not be completed. Fedtraveler.com now displays the correct Traveler's name and approval can proceed normally.
Travel Authorization Document Summary Displays Incorrect Other Expenses after Voucher Other Expenses Have Been Modified:
When a voucher was modified, the Travel Authorization Document Summary displayed the Voucher changes instead of the original Other Expenses. On the Expense Report page, the "modify" functionality for Other Expenses has been limited so the user can only modify dollar amounts. Changes to the expense name, date, or form of payment now require the Traveler to delete and re-enter the expense.
Allows an Administrator to Change an Organization's Default Accounting String:
A System Administrator may now add or delete an organization's default accounting string.
Justification Button Missing From Travel Authorization after Initial Input:
Previously, after a justification was entered for a travel mode exception (POV, Rental Car), the justification button was removed from the Travel Authorization page when the user navigated back to it. The justification button is now available for the user to enter additional justifications.
The latest Known Issues and Workarounds Document has been posted to FedTraveler.com.

The Russian regional convergence process: Where does it go?
AbstractThis paper investigates the income convergence among Russian regions in the period 1998- 2006. It makes two major contributions to rather extensive literature on the regional con- vergence in Russia. First, it identifies spatial regimes using the exploratory spatial data analysis. Second, it examines the impact of spatial effects on the convergence process. Our results show that the overall speed of regional convergence in Russia, being low by inter- national standards, becomes even lower after controlling for spatial effects. However, when accounting for the spatial regimes, we find a strong regional convergence among high-income regions located near other high-income regions. Our results indicate that estimation of speed of convergence using aggregate data may result in misleading conclusions regarding the na- ture of convergence process among Russia's regions.

Help for optimizing your information technology.
The field of network security has expanded to help in addressing the threats associated with cyber-attacks. Businesses now have multiple options to keep networks safe.
Companies should be aware that attacks can come from multiple fronts. No business is completely safe or secure from cyber threats. And there are growing concerns that the threats come from the inside more than the outside of the company.
A study from Forrester Research on Understanding the State of Data Security and Privacy indicates that internal threats are becoming the most dangerous risk for businesses. Internal threats can be inadvertent misuse of data, lack of policy oversight or misinterpretation, or no visibility into network activities.
Find out more and see if your network might be at risk form inside threats. Read the full article by Grant Hatchimonji on PC World: Biggest data security threats come from inside, report says.
Social media can be a crack in an otherwise invulnerable business network. Casual posts on social media about business hours, special events or upcoming stock sales can compromise a company as much as any cyber-attack. Additionally, there is an unfortunate reality for businesses where malicious activities can compromise your network security. Disgruntled employees or pranksters can find security weaknesses and take advantage of the opportunity.

A recent Cisco Security Report shows the spread of malware is most prevalent using third party advertisements that seem benign on the surface. Employees click on the advertisement or web site address and the malware is downloaded without even being aware.
For more on this, check out the article on Windstream by Bob Anderson: Is Your Biggest Network Security Threat "Who's Getting In" or "What's Getting Out"?
Small businesses are particularly susceptible to cyber-attacks. The Symantec 2013 Internet Threat Report finds almost one third of all malware attacks are inflicted on companies with 250 employees or less. Small businesses are more exposed to cyber-attacks because of a lack of enterprise-level security and formalized processes.
But all types of businesses at risk. No business is completely safe from harm. Large companies can have higher exposure simply because of its advertising or number of locations. It is crucial that all companies take appropriate steps to shield themselves.
Check out the Biz Tech Magazine article on SMBs are Easy Targets for Cyber Criminals by Dan Tynan to learn more.
A thorough review of your network security infrastructure should be conducted regularly. There can also be some indicators that will help you to identify potential network security risks.
Keep your business as safe as possible by identifying all potential threats before they occur.

Here I lay on cold concrete
No more grass beneath my feet
Want to leave but don't know how
Oh sweet family
Where are you now?
Here I am alone and scared
For this I was not prepared
A man came to take my new friend away
Where did he take her?
For a walk?
Out to play?
Here I am all alone
Miss my family
Miss my home
Oh, wait...that man has come for me
Oh that's good I have to pee
I try to never go inside
I did once and tried to hide
but my humans found me out
and began to stomp and shout
Is that why they brought me here?
Is that why I'm so alone?
Will they come for me?
Is it time to go home?

A world without religion, how will it really look?
The voices against religious belief are growing stronger in recent years as is to be expected in this age of information, but would there really be an idyllic world waiting in the end of this war?
Would the people susceptible to the religious doctrines really abandon illogical thinking, or will we see the various "New Age" movements get stronger with new pseudo scientific lies that might seem like an easier path to take than the proof demanding science, as we see today from many secular people around the world?
How far are we from completely embracing knowledge and research? How do you envision such a world?

Roi Shpaner 20+Mar 9 2011: It's amusing to see so many pro religious opinions here, I can only hope even more religious people discover TED, and open up their mind to modern knowledge and ideas. I'm sure the harmless arguments they make around here are worth the possibility of growing out of the mental cage they we're brought up in. All it takes is some critical thinking.
There were some very good comments made here and I enjoyed reading them all. As we near the closing time of this debate, I will give you my own vision of a world without religion.
I see a world extremely different from today (and still far away if to be honest), a world without borders, that values knowledge and information more than anything. A world not without violence, not without crime, but at much much lower rates than today. A world much more productive and active as we waste less time and rely solely on ourselves as a human race. A world more open to disagreements and debates, treating all people as equals.
A world where all human knowledge is free and available to every single person. And it starts with TED.

I hope my Seahawks don't take him. Yes we need a wideout but not him. We played him this year and I watched Welker wilt after getting hit hard by Browner. We want unselfish players, no room for prima donna's on the Hawks roster. Besides we still remember how much of a bust Deion Branch was. BTW yardbarker you (purposely?) forgot about WR Golden Tate on our roster... you know.. the guy who has the most TD receptions on our team.. I know the whole rest of the world hates Tate.. and thats why I like him :)

TEAMS: New England Patriots
Wes Welker is the next high-profile New England Patriots free agent that is set to hit the market in 2013. Welker, in an interview with Comcast Sports New England following his 13-catch, 104-yard, touchdown effort, ribbed Belichick for limiting his offensive snaps earlier in the 2012 season. "Yeah it's kind of nice to stick it in Bill's face once in awhile," Welker said. "So this is definitely a good one." Most are familiar with the story of Bill Belichick and Wes Welker during the beginning season and his reduced role until forced into action. It's almost as if the Patriots were aware that he will not be resigning with the team and testing the waters to see if they could go on without him.… Read more

Hugh Hefner congratulates Holly Madison on baby
Hugh Hefner has taken to Twitter to congratulate his former girlfriend Holly Madison on her new baby daughter.
Hugh Hefner has congratulated Holly Madison on becoming a mother.
The Playboy mogul was impressed with pictures of his former girlfriend and her baby Rainbow Aurora in the latest issue of In Touch magazine and took to his Twitter account to congratulate her on the tot.
He wrote: ''Holly has never looked more beautiful, or happier, than in photos holding her baby in the celebrity magazines this week.''
Despite dating Hugh and starring in 'Girls Next Door' with his other girlfriends Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, Holly previously revealed she only keeps in touch with Bridget.
She said: ''Bridget and I are still friends, but I don't talk to anyone else. I moved on from the whole Playboy thing five years ago and really never looked back. I'm not one of those girls who goes back to all the parties and things.''
Holly - who welcomed Rainbow into the world with fiance Pasquale Rotella by her side - was recently forced to defend her daughter's unusual moniker.
She said: ''There are a lot of smug haters out there who bag on my choice of a name, but I don't care about what they think. I want my daughter to be proud of who she is and learn to speak up and stand up for herself at a young age.
''I spent most of my life being a people-pleaser who worried about what other people thought or thought was cool and I don't want that for her.
''I have always loved the name Rainbow. There was a girl in my school a few years younger than me named Rainbow and I was so envious of her name because it was so pretty and unusual. She was perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl, by the way, so I'm not worried about my daughter being 'traumatized' by having an unusual name.''

New NIST Report: WTC7 Collapse caused by Fire
- Herbert
- uploaded: Aug 21, 2008
- Hits: 4649
The best disinfo and bullshit ever prepared. Here you go:
The fall of the 47-story World Trade Center building 7 (WTC 7) in New York City late in the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, was primarily due to fires, the Commerce Departmentâ??s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced today following an extensive, three-year scientific and technical building and fire safety investigation. This was the first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building, the agency stated as it released for public comment its WTC investigation report and 13 recommendations for improving building and fire safety.
â??Our study found that the fires in WTC 7, which were uncontrolled but otherwise similar to fires experienced in other tall buildings, caused an extraordinary event,â? said NIST WTC Lead Investigator Shyam Sunder. â??Heating of floor beams and girders caused a critical support column to fail, initiating a fire-induced progressive collapse that brought the building down.â?
â??Video and photographic evidence combined with detailed computer simulations show that neither explosives nor fuel oil fires played a role in the collapse of WTC 7,â? Sunder said. The NIST investigation team also determined that other elements of the buildingâ??s constructionâ??namely trusses, girders and cantilever overhangs that were used to transfer loads from the building superstructure to the columns of the electric substation (over which WTC 7 was constructed) and foundation belowâ??did not play a significant role in the collapse.
According to the report, a key factor leading to the eventual collapse of WTC 7 was thermal expansion of long-span floor systems at temperatures â??hundreds of degrees below those typically considered in current practice for fire resistance ratings." WTC 7 used a structural system design in widespread use.
Citing its one new recommendation (the other 12 are reiterated from the previously completed investigation of the World Trade Center towers, WTC 1 and 2), the NIST investigation team said that â??while the partial or total collapse of a tall building due to fires is a rare event, we strongly urge building owners, operators and designers to evaluate buildings to ensure the adequate fire performance of the structural system. Of particular concern are the effects of thermal expansion in buildings with one or more of the following features: long-span floor systems, connections not designed for thermal effects, asymmetric floor framing and/or composite floor systems.â? Engineers, the team said, should be able to design cost-effective fixes to address any areas of concern identified by such evaluations.
The investigators also reported that if the city water main had not been cut by the collapse of World Trade Center towers 1 and 2 (WTC 1 and WTC 2), operating sprinklers in WTC 7 would likely have prevented its collapse. â??Nevertheless,â? Sunder said, â??we recommend that building standards and codes be strengthened beyond their current intent to achieve life safety by preventing structural collapse even during severe fires like this one, when sprinklers do not function, do not exist or are overwhelmed by fire.â?

SAIC is a major defense contractor who helped NIST to write this false report. Investigate the people directly involved and their connections. This conspiracy is never going away.

do they think peopleare that stupid aviation fueled fires burn at around 1450f steel melts at 2550f approx over 1000f difference sulphur found in the molten steel which had turned to iron oxide leaves only 1 possibilty thermite on top of that the building was architectually built to withstand a direct impact of a boeing 707 its time they were arrested for murder

You can see it falling in pieces in the simulation, and they say thats how WTC 7 fell?? Do they think we are blind?

NEW Country Strategy Kosovo 2013-2016
Switzerland's cooperation programme in Kosovo began with its participation in an OSCE verification mission. During the armed conflict in 1998–1999, it set up an extensive humanitarian aid programme. Since the year 2000, humanitarian actions and programmes to assist the return of persons displaced by the war were soon complemented by reconstruction-assistance measures and by projects to foster livelihoods, to promote culture and to aid development.
The new Country Strategy 2013-2016 is rooted in the spirit of the agreements of cooperation between the governments of Switzerland and Kosovo and was developed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), in close consultation with Kosovar government offices and partners as the civil society. It represents a strong commitment to continue supporting the economic, social and political transition processes in Kosovo, building on Switzerland's long-term presence in the country and earlier achievements. Over the years, the Swiss-Kosovar cooperation has grown. Today Switzerland is the fourth largest bilateral development partner in Kosovo.
The Swiss programme is coordinated by the Swiss Cooperation Office in Pristina. It is run jointly by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the Swiss Federal Department for Economic Affairs.
Strategic Orientation 2013-2016
Overall Goal: Switzerland supports Kosovo in its transition processes towards socially inclusive market economies and democratic political systems providing access to essential services, as well towards regional and European integration.
The 2013-2016 Country Strategy focuses on the following domains of cooperation:
The foreseen financial commitments for the period 2013-2016 amount to 88 million Swiss francs.
1.1 Improving the Kosovo Serbian Business Community Involvement in economic activities in Kosovo
1.2 Përmirësimi i përfshirjes së komunitetit serb të Kosovës në aktivitetet ekonomike në Kosovë

In the last few years, the British National Health Service, local
government social services departments, the welfare benefits system, and
the organization of primary health care in the United Kingdom have
undergone major reforms that have had significant effects on mental health
services. Local social service departments were given the lead role in
purchasing and coordinating community supports for persons with mental
illness, but were not given enough funds to arrange adequate services. In
the National Health Service, an internal-market approach, in which local
health authorities could contract with any provider or group of providers,
was introduced. This purchaser-provider split has created a climate of
competition in a traditionally collaborative environment and has reduced
staff morale. Similar but separate case management models were introduced
in both the health service and the social service departments, which has
led to inefficiency in planning care for individual patients. Opportunities
were created for general practitioners to use capitated funds to purchase
specialty care directly from providers. This arrangement resulted in an
initial emphasis on care for less severely mentally ill patients, although
some general practitioners are beginning to explore new approaches for
supporting severely ill patients in the community. On the positive side,
the reforms have led to greater involvement of patients and their families
in planning service delivery. However, the authors suggest that policy
makers in the U.K. seem to be repeating many of the mistakes made by
American mental health systems in the 1960s and 1970s.

Passing on information orally was possible when the traditional languages were still very much alive, which is no longer true today. In a single century, approximately 10 Aboriginal languages have become extinct and a dozen others are in danger of becoming so, according to the Atlas of Canada. A number of studies have predicted that only Ojibwa, Cree and Inuktitut will still exist in 50 years.
This section hones in on many issues that are specific or unique to Aboriginal people in Canada, including the underreporting of crimes against Aboriginal people by news media and the unique challenges faced by Aboriginal people seeking to produce content for their own communities.
Even rarer is when Aboriginal people are positioned in mainstream media as experts or commentators on major issues of public interest. An exception to this was an initiative in 2010 when the Quebec newspaper Le Devoir published exchanges of letters and opinions between Ghislain Picard, Chief of the Assembly of the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador and Manon Barbeau, founder of Wapikoni Mobile.

That Aboriginal women are likely to be victims of violence is not news: Aboriginal women aged 25 to 44 are five times more likely to suffer a violent death than other women in Canada. Amnesty International (Stolen Sisters, 2004 and No More Stolen Sisters, 2009) and the Native Women's Association of Canada (Voices of our Sisters In Spirit, 2009 and What Their Stories Tell Us, 2010) have documented more than 500 cases of Aboriginal women who have gone missing or been murdered since the 1960s. Half of the cases have never been solved.

Teachers who include media literacy in their classrooms often face issues that don't arise in other subjects. Nothing illustrates this better than the issue of diversity in media. It's not unreasonable for teachers to see the topic as a can of worms and be concerned about offending students and their parents – not to mention worrying about what the students themselves might say. At the same time, it's a topic that is simply too important to be ignored: what we see in media hugely influences how we see others, ourselves and the world.

In my report of 28 October 1997 to the Security Council, I indicated in
paragraph 34 that the financial implications of measures to enhance preparedness
for medical emergencies and improve the safety of UNOMIG personnel in the
mission area would be provided for the information of the Council in an addendum
to that document.
The estimated costs for the ambulance and 15 ballistic-protective-vehicles
would amount to approximately $1.
7 million and the helicopter for medical
evacuations will be provided through a reconfiguration of resources already
provided for air support in the Mission.
I will report to the General Assembly
on the additional requirements needed for the purchase of the vehicles.

Hand Up..
Why Give Your Money Away?
Save Money At The Credit Union!
Stop paying high interest and fees. Hand Up provides an affordable, local, community-based alternative to high-cost predatory service providers like check-cashing shops, payday lenders, and subprime lenders.
"People Helping People" is the credit union mission. This means that credit unions think first about their members and the communities they serve by: offering financial services to all consumers, even those that don't often use traditional banking; teaching youth about financial literacy; volunteering their time to local charities; and providing loans to local small businesses.
This program was established for individuals who are struggling with personal and financial hardships. OKE Financial has partnered with MCUL and GreenPath® to provide a financial education plan with classes and resources that focus on Financial Literacy and Money Management.

Win An Emirates Day Experience
Fancy having a poke around in the bowels of the Arsenal stadium, looking for the unmarked grave where the bones of the real Chamakh are hidden? Of course you do, and thanks to our new chums at Xperience Days, that's exactly what one lucky family will be doing. Sort of. There might be slightly more of an emphasis on having a nosey at the dressing rooms and hearing stories from an Arsenal Legend, who'll be your guide on the day, rather than going off piste looking for bodies, but whatever. It'll be fun. And I say that as a man who's had a shower there.
All the details are here. To be in with a chance of winning, answer the following question:
Which of the following has not sponsored Arsenal?
- Sega
- Satan
Email your answer to us by clicking here The winner, drawn at random from the correct responses, will be announced on Twitter and in the post following the Aston Villa game this weekend. Bon chance, mes braves!
[UPDATE: This competition has been won by Nadia London. Congrats!]
