If it makes sense to apply nitrogen and P and K at rates tuned to compensate for variability in soil reserves, then it also makes sense to adjust seed rate within fields to counter factors that affect plant population.
That is the conclusion reached by an increasing number of growers when looking to improve winter cereal crop yields now that GPS-guided variable-rate technology has become commonplace rather than a slightly scary novelty.
"Farmers have used variable application of nitrogen, phosphate and potash for years now," says Simon Parrington of SOYL Precision Farming. "As they became confident this technology works, variable-rate sowing was the next obvious option; now, though, it is often the first option before using variable-rate nitrogen."
Among customers using the Berkshire company's SOYLseed service, it is evident that fine-tuning winter wheat and winter barley seed rates within fields can have a significant impact - 20-50% less yield variation has been seen on harvest yield maps in some cases.
"It's not appropriate in all circumstances," Mr Parrington adds. "If there's little soil type variation within a field and there are no other factors causing variable crop establishment, then you might as well use a blanket seed rate.
"But where soil type varies significantly within a field and poorer establishment is seen on heavier soils, large areas suffer from grazing damage or blackgrass poses significant competition, then variable-rate sowing can help even things up," he says.
That in itself should help lift the yield of poorer-performing areas but added value comes from optimising pesticide and other treatments across a crop reaching key growth stages more evenly.
Simon Parrington of SOYL Precision Farming.
"It can also improve the efficiency of variable-rate nitrogen," adds Mr Parrington: "By evening out plant population, remote sensing imagery provides a better reflection of nitrogen uptake by the crop."
Unless soil type variation is clear cut and well defined by past experience, a soil survey is the first step towards using variable sowing technology, notes precision farming specialist Will Walters at The Courtyard Partnership.
"First, we'll provide a consultation to explain common approaches to varying seed rate by soil zone," he points out. "The zoning process itself, which in our case involves surveying between 10 and 15 different aspects, is a one-off requirement to classify soil types and their boundaries in enough detail to allocate different seed rates."
Factors such as soil texture, organic matter and stone content are included, and seed-bed quality can be taken into account when preparing the seed rate plan.
The objective, he emphasises, is not necessarily to use less or more seed in total but rather to optimise the sowing density in relation to germination, establishment and survival expectations within distinct areas of each field.
The outcome should be a more regular crop come spring with no thin or bare patches that growers try to fix with nitrogen; instead, they can focus on using flat or variable rate N to push yields throughout the field.
"A feature of our software is that small areas within the soil zones can be allocated a different seed rate," adds Mr Walters. "That way, we can compensate for parts of the field overhung with trees or that tend to lie wet later into the spring, as well as areas where crops are eaten off by rabbits or game birds."
Similar flexibility is available at sowing: while some variable rate application plans cannot be overridden in the field, those produced in Courtyard's online toolbox can be adjusted by the drill operator on the day using the regular plus or minus button. That way, any unexpected change in seedbed quality can be compensated.
Winter wheat and barley are the main beneficiaries of this technique, but Mr Walters is investigating with customers the potential for shifting seed rate 9% up and down from a standard rate when drilling or broadcasting winter oilseed rape, and when drilling spring barley, including a crop undersown with grass.
As for the hardware required, any grower buying a new drill in the past four or five years will likely have a machine readily adapted to variable-rate sowing. The essential requirements are an electric drive to the metering rollers and an electronic controller in the tractor cab that can "talk" to a GPS receiver and data processor.
The latter device is loaded with a digital map that determines which seed rates are applied where; this information is passed to the drill controller, which adjusts the metering roller speed accordingly.
"Compatibility between controllers and GPS devices from leading makes is pretty much universal," says Mr Walters. "For example, connecting a Väderstad or Horsch drill controller to a John Deere Greenstar GPS terminal shouldn't present any problems."
Things are further simplified with the installation of GPS receivers into Isobus-compliant implement control terminals, which makes them truly universal devices. They can then handle steering guidance, sprayer and spreader section control and remote-camera video feed, in addition to variable-rate sowing.
Kverneland Group's latest iMatch Tellus has a GPS receiver and software functions waiting to be activated. Its section control facility, which is currently limited to sprayers and spreaders, will soon be available on Kverneland Accord drills - so growers will then not only be able to use different seed rates but also minimise sowing overlaps.
Growers with older drills are also catered for with the introduction by RDS Technology of a conversion kit to replace land-wheel metering roller drive with electric motor drive.
Variable rate sowing is used almost exclusively for winter wheat and barley, but growers are beginning to dabble with the technique for winter oilseed rape now that broadcasters such as the Techneat TerraCast.
"There's been very strong demand for it," says Peter Nelson, technical director. "It seems there are plenty of growers wanting to use variable rate sowing without going to the expense of buying a new drill."
The conversion package, priced from £3,000 to £4,500 plus installation, is available for pneumatic drills with one or two Accord-style metering units, including combined seed and fertiliser drills, and is based on the Artemis system, which is a popular choice as original equipment for a number of European manufacturers, including Claydon, Gaspardo, Mzuri, Sulky, Sumo and Weaving.
The PS8000i instrument, which is part of the package, uses CAN-BUS to communicate with a dedicated motor-control module on the drill. This dedicated module ensures fast response from the electric motor for accurate proportional adjustment to changes in forward speed.
Either one or two electric motors are included as necessary, along with wiring harnesses, sensors and so on.
Stocks Turbo Jet can respond to GPS rate maps.
For precision-farming applications, the only additional items needed are a GPS receiver and a treatment map on an SD card, which is loaded using the integral card reader/writer on the PS8000i. Alternatively, the PS8000i can receive rate messages from a third-party controller, such as John Deere Greenstar or SOYL Opti and others.
RDS has also recently developed a PS8000i controller enabling variable-rate broadcasting of oilseed rape (as well as slug pellets and fertiliser) for the Stocks Turbo Jet applicator.
Growers using Turbo Jet applicators with radar-speed-related electric drive can alter rates manually, points out Rick Parker of Stocks AG. But this development offers a more sophisticated approach with automated rate adjustment.
Seed drills with mechanical drive to an Accord-type metering system can be converted to electric drive for variable-rate sowing using an Artemis controller kit supplied by RDS Technology.
The variable rate plan is transferred from a computer to the RDS MAC8000 controller by SD card, which can then be used to upload data logged during the sowing operation to farm records.
Upgrading an existing Turbo Jet broadcaster running the Wizard controller costs £1,612; a new Precision VR applicator is £5,950, and comes complete with a MAC8000 controller that can be used to operate a second Stocks applicator on the same implement.
Techneat's Intelli-Rate controller has been upgraded to also handle variable-rate broadcasting of rapeseed from subsoilers and cultivators.
"It will link with a wide range of precision farming information sources providing variable seed rate data," notes Techneat's Tom Neat. "Also, it's compatible with all Techneat seeder metering units, including the TerraCast V2.
It is priced at £500 when supplied with a new broadcaster or £550 to retrofit as a "plug-and-play" unit to an existing unit.
Mr Neat emphasises that as well as being capable of handling very low seed rates, the TerraCast's metering unit adjusts in increments of just 0.1kg/ha to fully exploit the potential of precision variable seed rates.

Happy Birthday Robert Allen Zimmerman
May 24, 1941-A great. He talks like a poet and sings of rebellion. Without the intimidating force and intelligence of this hero, the bands we know and respect today wouldn't have been as powerful had it not been for one man who pushed the boundaries of where good music should really be. He's influenced the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Byrds, The Hollies, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, the Small Faces, Bruce Springsteen, The Band, Tom Petty, The Kinks, The Who, The Doors, Vampire Weekend, Pearl Jam, Donovan, ELO, and many many more.

About Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month
Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month is a national initiative celebrated in January that encourages kids and adults to learn how to ski and/or snowboard, or improve their skills by taking lessons from a professional instructor. Ski areas and resorts throughout the U.S. offer free and reasonably priced lesson programs during January in an effort to get more people on the snow. The LSSM website offers a comprehensive listing of participating resorts and retailers. It also includes information on preparing for a quality snow experience and staying involved.
We want to get more American families on the slopes, enjoying a healthy winter lifestyle. We love to ski and snowboard, and we want to share our love of the sport and encourage others. By working collectively, the snow sports industry has created a resource that makes it easy for consumers to find nearby learning programs and practical information to help them become advocates.
Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month was started in 2009 when resort associations in just a couple of states decided to launch their state-wide programs. Now, more than 300 ski areas, resorts and Nordic Centers offered special learning programs during January. In some states, learning programs for cross country skiing and snowshoeing are also offered as part of the initiative.

The Guilt Engine Lyrics - Gatsby's American Dream
My shame is cold like a grave
But my lust is hot like an engine
With pistons that pump
And a heart that thumps to the beat
But I can't wrap my head around
So I let my body fall instead
I've lost the rhythm
All I'm left with is my regrets
Can you hear the sound?
Ticking, I am ticking on
Automatic I am all the things I've done,
Set to explode I am ticking on...
What on earth can atone for all the wrong I've done?
From the depths, from your depths I'm crawling home again
I'm crawling home again
I've been thinking maybe I can make this right

Alleged next-gen iPod touch front panel compared with iPhone 4An LCD and digitizer alleged to be from Apple's upcoming fourth-generation iPod touch shows a display that is smaller and different in color than the iPhone 4 front panel.
The website smartphonemedic.com got their hands on a purported part from Apple's forthcoming iPod touch refresh. Like on the iPhone 4, the LCD, glass and digitizer on the part are all fused together as one solid component that cannot be disassembled.
A side-by-side comparison with the front panel for a third-generation iPod touch shows that the presumed new device is slightly longer and slimmer than its predecessor. Laid next to the iPhone 4 front panel, the supposed iPod touch component is slightly smaller.
The site also noted that the LCD panel on the iPhone 4 is darker than the display found on the alleged fourth-generation iPod touch front panel. It said the fourth-generation screen has a "red or grayish tint to it."
The site also noted that the connections included on the LCD and digitizer are "a little different" than found on the iPhone 4. The purported iPod touch panel is also missing brackets found on the side of the iPhone 4 assembly.
As with numerous previous leaked parts (1, 2), the front panel includes a space likely to be used for a forward-facing camera. This would mean that the next-generation iPod touch will allow FaceTime video chat over Wi-Fi.

Suddenly cannot connect to an XP machine (others work)
I have a small home network setup with a handful of Windows XP machines. I recently upgraded one machine to Windows 7 and everything was configured and working. This morning the Windows 7 machine will not connect to one of the XP machines. I set up the Windows 7 machine with two logins (my wife and I) and I have the same accounts and passwords stored on the XP machine. This was working fine. The XP machines are setup in a group and the Windows 7 machine has a homegroup by the same name (not that this matters as I think this is a Windows 7 only thing). I have the userids and passwords stored in credential manager. I entered them as group\username and then password. I can ping back and forth between the machines so I know they see each other.
No matter what I do I cannot get this 7 machine to connect to the XP machine. It could have been any number of software updates or something that could have caused this problem. Recent changes that I can think of are adding Windows Antivirus. Does anyone have any suggestions for diagnosing this issue? Thanks.

I just noticed that the date on the Windows 7 PC was correct but the time was not. It was showing a time about 8 hours in the future! I checked the time settings and it was set to auto update from windows time server. I changed it to a government time server - the time updated - and lo and behold I was able to connect to the other XP machine without any problems. We had a electrical storm last night and probably some brown outs (although this machine is plugged into a UPS) - don't know if this did it. Anyway, hopefully this will help someone in the future.

Lisa Robin Kelly, who played the sister of main character Eric Forman on "That 70s Show," was arrested early this morning on a felony charge of corporal injury upon a spouse ... TMZ has learned.
Kelly was busted at 12:50 AM by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. She is currently in custody and being held on $50,000 bail.
Kelly is no stranger to run-ins with the law. Back in 2010, she pled guilty to DUI in North Carolina.
We reached out to an agent for Kelly ... no word back.
Leave the woman alone. This is not news or anyones business
thats too bad. she played a hot little slutty bitch on the show, but it entertained me and I would of done her in a heartbeat back then.
I'm glad that her husband stood up like a man and reported her @$$.
good grief! lay off the meth or whatever it is you're doing.. you look awful! you aged horribly.
you can't take the trailer trash eyes away from the trailer trash
KITTY:Eric Honey,Not a word of this to your Father about Laurie's situation.
ERIC: Sure Mom, don't worry, you can count on me.
( RED & Laurie enter the kitchen to sit down at the table).
RED:Something sure smells good.Can't wait to sink my teeth in and attack my dinner.
ERIC: OH Dad,speaking of attack,Laurie was arrested this morning on spousal abuse which I believe is a felony.
LAURIE:ERIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sobbing) Daddy I'm so sorry.I didn't know what came over me.It's just one of those things.
RED: (to Laurie) YOU DUMBASS!!!!
Not surprised. Her character was mean with a stank attitude. No wonder she played her part so well.
I guess that explains her Twitter account which was mirrored with her Facebook page that she removed a few days earlier. Her last FB post/Tweet was about having issues with an ex.
She was hot back in the day, but I bet she looks like a crack wh*re in her mug shot.
I have a feeling. When I look at this page, I see the word "Scandal" all over it as advertising. That creates a vibe. I'm just a left-hand path that's lame according to TMZ.
Feisty little bone rack... I like her !
I'd hit it.
ButterFace !!!
never heard of her.never heard of the show.
Her poor spouse. He's a battered husband BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....really, it's not funny.

Actually, it seems to me that your argument is that ARIN/RIPE/APNIC
policy prevents people from multihoming.
As per a discussion on this list a month or two ago, the root
cause of the 'difficult judgments' is, IMHO, that multihoming
relies on extension of the global L3 routing table. It need not
do so for every application, subject to some intelligence being
applied to protocols and networks.
Blaming Verio for the RIR's allocation policy simply does
not make sense.
So s/RIR/IETF/ :-)

Ballroom Dancing Secret Revealed!
"You have to control your legs and feet and you have to smile a lot."
The gym at Wilson Focus School was transformed into a ballroom Friday afternoon where the Foxtrot and Polka ruled the floor.
Dozens of fifth-graders worked on their dancing skills and people skills as they teamed with their classmates for some fanciful footwork.
Many parents watched. Some even danced with their sons and daughters at the end.
We asked one student who likes to dance a lot what he thought of learning the finer points of ballroom dancing.
Hilton Mitchell said, "It's kind of hard because we have to move slower. And not that fast. You have to control your legs and feet and you have to smile a lot."
Hilton had the smile working.
The students have spent the last 10-weeks working with instructors.

text: Home > Medical > ADHD > Managing ADHD Updated 19 June 2014 Is ADHD a disease or not? Many people argue that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is just normal restlessness. We ask an expert to give her view. 1 Help for concentration and ADHD symptoms Sponsored by ADHD is a hereditary disorder. The field of medical genetics examines the clustering of disorders in families. Identical twins share 100% of their genes. If one twin has ADHD, the other has a 90% chance of having ADHD. Non-identical twins and other siblings who share less common genetic material, have a 30-40% chance of having ADHD. Compare this with the 7% risk of the general population. Sophisticated technology has led to the expansion of the field of molecular genetics, which allows us to search for the susceptible areas on specific genes. At present there is strong evidence implicating receptor sites for the chemical messenger dopamine on chromosomes 11 and 5. Advances in the field of brain imaging allow us to track brain functioning in different areas of the brain. Individuals with ADHD show decreased functioning in the frontal lobes with overloading in the areas that collect auditory and visual inputs compared to those individuals without the disorder. These effects are reversed with the use of stimulant medication. The brain imaging studies correlate with research into the neuropsychology of the disorder, which demonstrates frontal lobe and other deficits. The frontal lobe, connections to the basal ganglia and the cerebellum are the structures implicated in the disorder. Research identifies the balance between the chemical messengers noradrenaline and dopamine as the culprits and all effective medications target these areas.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
HEAD COACH Ryun Williams
"Good win coming off a tough week of practice. Five days without a game, I thought you saw some rust, perhaps shooting the ball quite rusty. It's a good win, we got to get to our bench a little bit more tonight, and that was a positive."
(on rebounding the ball better)
"Once we settled down defensively and rebounded the ball better our best offense was getting out and running, we got some easy basket in our early offense. Obviously, if we can get stops and rebound that helps us out."
(on the amount of three-point shots)
"I thought we took some quick threes but they were sitting in the deep gap, they were doubling in the low post. They made you settle for that 3pt shot today."
(on Sam Martin)
"Sam has been playing really well as of late; this is three games in a row where she has been really productive. I thought she worked really hard out there and when she got the ball deep and could move quickly to the rim and not let the double get to her, she was pretty good."
(on Gritt Ryder)
"Gritt is steady, she's steady. She didn't come off the floor in the second half until 1:30 left. She calms my nerves, we really trust Gritt Ryder. Good things usually happen when the ball is in her hands and defensively she was quite disruptive in the second half. She is so smart."
(on energy)
"The energy level was a little bit low, lower than we needed it to be, and we talked about that before the game. I think we did have a little bit of low energy and we didn't do everything we were supposed to at times."
(on halftime)
"We just talked about how we need to lock it in on defense and we did change our defense. We started to focus in more. On offense we started working it around, trying to get the ball from the top of the key. Ultimately, it was about passing, finding your best shot, and playing as a team together."
(on creating energy for second half)
"We all come together and we're not losing this game. We play our best when we come together, not that we play individual ball, but sometimes it gets a little individual. When we come together, get the best pass, find open layups that's when we start scoring and playing good defense. We're growing every single game. We're going to start trusting each other, we're going to start finding each other open shots and I think that's where we're really growing right now and continue to get better."
(on second string)
"It's important for the team that everyone gets a feel for the game. They came in and did a good job. Practice is good, but it's not the same as in a game situation so it's good for us to get used to playing with each other and it's also good for them."
(on shooting)
"We need to get better at reading what our strengths are. Today, they weren't tall so we should've pounded it in the inside from the beginning."
(on Sam Martin's performance)
"I'm running back every time Sam gets the ball because I'm pretty confident that she's going to make it. It's nice to have a big target in there so I rarely have turn overs passing it in to her. I trust her catching my passes and I trust her to finish so it's really nice."
(on defensive effort)
"We hustled more today because we had more people on the floor, including Sam. We tried to get a little bit crazier, I would say, and thank god it worked."
(on creating energy for second half)
"I don't know if we felt like we had more energy, but we're a team that knows when to step up and we do it. We've had several close half time games and we end up winning by 15 points. We want to be a first half team, we're going to work on that, but I never doubt it in the locker room. We know we're going to bring it because we all want to win."

Citigroup CEO and directors sued over executive pay
(Reuters) - Days after being rebuked by shareholders, Citigroup Inc (C.N) Chief Executive Vikram Pandit and the bank's directors have been sued by a shareholder accusing them of awarding outsized pay to top executives.
The complaint, filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court, said directors breached their fiduciary duties by awarding more than $54 million of compensation in 2011 to the executives, including $15 million to Pandit, though the bank's performance did not necessarily justify it.
At Citigroup's annual meeting on Tuesday, about 55 percent of shareholders participating in an advisory vote rejected Pandit's pay package. That marked the first time that investors had rejected a compensation plan at a major U.S. bank.
That vote "has cast doubt on the board's decision-making process, as well as the accuracy and truthfulness of its public statements," said the complaint, brought by shareholder Stanley Moskal. "Absent this (lawsuit), the majority will of the company's stockholders shall be rendered meaningless."
Citigroup spokeswoman Shannon Bell said the lawsuit is without merit and that the bank will seek its dismissal, "consistent with court rulings in similar cases."
"The board takes the shareholder vote on executive compensation very seriously and will consult with representative shareholders to better understand their concerns," she added.
Shareholders won the right to vote on executive pay at most public companies under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act. Many analysts remained skeptical the "say on pay" votes would matter much.
Richard Parsons, a Citigroup director retiring as chairman of the New York-based bank, called the rejection of Pandit's pay package a "serious matter" that the board would address.
Pandit was paid a symbolic $1 in 2010 and $128,741 in 2009. He had joined Citigroup in 2007 when the bank bought his hedge fund Old Lane Partners for $800 million. Citigroup is the nation's third-largest bank by assets.
Thursday's lawsuit seeks to force Pandit, Parsons and other Citigroup directors to pay damages to the bank and for Citigroup to bolster internal controls.
The case is Moskal v. Pandit et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-03114.
(Reporting By Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Tim Dobbyn and Steve Orlofsky)
Don't tell anyone though as the truth is so simple that noone would believe you.
When unemployment reaches 30% or more(we're already at 20%) due to technological displacement and all those people lose their purchasing power in the current monetary system, how will the system survive? Simply put the system cannot sustain itself without the participation of the consumer. It is doomed to fail.
When will everyone wake up and realize that blaming a political puppet or switching to a new one, will not change anything, when the puppeteer remains the same.
The Federal Reserve Cartel: The Eight Families; The 1913 creation of the Fed fused the power of the Eight Families to the military and diplomatic might of the US government. If their overseas loans went unpaid, the oligarchs could now deploy US Marines to collect the debts. Morgan, Chase and Citibank formed an international lending syndicate.
Until this is disolved, there will never be any change for the better, except for the financial elite.

QandO is Alive
How else to describe this president when he makes remarks like this:
President Barack Obama claimed Monday night during a Democratic Party fundraising dinner that the United States is 'stronger' than it was when he assumed office in January 2009.
His statement, though, appears to be at odds with key economic indicators, America's sliding reputation abroad, and the American public's estimation of the direction the country has taken under the Obama administration.
'In all sorts of ways,' Obama told Democratic partisans who paid between $15,000 to $32,400 to hear him speak, 'we are not just stronger than when we – where we were when I first came into office.'
'It's fair to say that America has the best cards when you look at other countries around the world. There's no other country you'd rather be than the United States.'
'Nobody can compete with us when we're making the right decisions,' he said.
The unspoken implication here is since we're "stronger", he's made all the "right decisions". Of course that absurd implication can be confronted factually at all sorts of levels.
Take the economy:
Grove City College economics professor Tracy Miller wrote Monday in an op-ed for The Daily Caller that '[o]ver the first five years of Obama's presidency, the U.S. economy grew more slowly than during any five-year period since just after the end of World War II, averaging less than 1.3 percent per year.'
The percentage of working-age Americans who are part of the U.S. workforce has reached the lowest level since 1978, with one out of every three staying on the sidelines and not working.
And the federal government's debts have ballooned by $7 trillion since Obama took office, a sum larger than the accumulated U.S. debts between 1776 and the end of the Clinton administration.
Consumer confidence is at -17. That's right, minus seventeen according to Gallup's recent Economic Confidence Index.
Great success.
You don't even have to cite the debacle his lack of foreign policy has wrought (or his lack of leadership on the illegal immigration flood) to make the point that he's either lying through his teeth or he's delusional. He seems be reading a script from spin doctors and seems to be nothing but a propaganda mouthpiece now. An empty suit. The "face." He doesn't seem to even care. Most of the recent optics (vacation after vacation while the world is in crisis) are simply not what anyone who cared would do if in a leadership position. But he seems to think he's entitled and we peasants should just suck it up and cope. "Imperial presidency" doesn't even begin to describe this crew.
Credibility? Not much:
By a 20-point margin, they believe the nation is weaker under Obama's leadership, according to a Fox News poll released in June. Just 35 per cent told pollsters they agreed with what Obama said Monday night.
The "Monday night" refers to the bucket of slop above that he served up to those true believers paying 32K for dinner.
And that has led to this from a CNN poll:
The poll also indicates that the public's trust in government is at an all-time low.
Frankly, you won't find me lamenting this particularly, but it is an illustration as to how poorly this administration had done its job (Remember, one of Obama's stated goals was to increase trust in government). Gallup piles on with this:
Many more Americans now mention a non-economic issue — such as dissatisfaction with government, immigration, or ethical and moral decline — than an economic one as the top problem.
This presidency has been a disaster. And it continues, without seeming end, to make all the wrong decisions almost without exception. The fact that the public seems to finally be waking up to it tells me a lot about how this presidency and administration have benefitted from a press reluctant to lay it all out as it happened. The problem the press faces now is it has become so bad that their credibility (such that it is) is at risk if they continue to ignore and/or attempt to explain away what has become obvious to almost everyone. That and the "Bush is to blame" blanket excuse has expired for all but the sycophants (although Obama again tried to deploy it this week when denying responsibility for the problems in Iraq).
This has been an awful era for this country. Almost everything this president promised has been found to be either nonsense, demonstrably false or a lie. Instead of the "most transparent" administration in history, it has become the most opaque. We see indications of criminal conduct by apparatchiks every day (really, 20 people under suspicion all had their emails destroyed? Really?). We see a "Justice" department that ignores the law and/or selectively enforces it depending on whether the group in question is a favored one or not (New Black Panthers and video of voter intimidation? Nah. Vote ID laws? You bet.). We see executive department bureaucrats assuming powers and making rules that are beyond their scope (just about everything the EPA has done). And, in fact, we see an administration that has mostly ignored the Constitution and the limits on power it imposes on the executive.
Now we're engaged in redefining what "stronger" means. Apparently, in Obama Newspeak, stronger is really "weaker and poorer". If that's what he was striving to accomplish, then he can claim to have been remarkably successful in making us "stronger".
Style Evolves
So, since we're making changes, I thought I'd start with the blog theme. This new theme uses flat design, which all the kids are raving about now. It also implements responsive design, so, if you're on a mobile device, you'll no longer see the Apple Touch mobile theme. Now you'll see the current blog template, which will happily reformat itself for your phone or tablet viewport.
You're welcome.

As David Bowie would say, "Ch-ch-ch-changes"
After a conference call this evening, we have decided to move QandO to a new Cloud Hosting plan. This will remove the bandwidth restrictions we've been struggling with for the past month. It will also remove all of the legacy QandO content from 2004-2009. I have a an Excel file with all that old content, but I'm not sure what happens with it at this point. It might end up as one huge 12mb web page. I dunno. We'll deal with that later. At any rate, I will restore all of the old podcasts, as well, since we'll have substantially less restriction on storage space, and none at all on bandwidth. These changes will all be taking place over the next few days.
You, as a user, will see little change, except that the site should load substantially more quickly in the new environment.
Why aren't tampons free?
Seriously, that's the question some whackadoo feminist columnist in the UK is asking (it makes you wonder if the paper that published it is a serious news source).
Her "reasoning?"
But this is less an issue of costliness than it is of principle: menstrual care is health care, and should be treated as such.
She wouldn't know true principle if it throat punched her. However, what is clear is when you allow yahoos to redefine "health care" and get government to take control of it, well then everything should be 'free'.
Her authority? Not to worry, feminists have declared a few things to be "true", and that make this a no-argument, slam-dunk:
Sanitary products are vital for the health, well-being and full participation of women and girls across the globe. The United Nations and Human Rights Watch, for example, have both linked menstrual hygiene to human rights.
Well there you go. I'm not sure where the human right not to be coerced by government into subsidizing another's wants went, but apparently that's a real right that is to be forever ignored.
If it is "health care" then it is a "right". And if it is a "right" then it should be "free". And if it is "free", someone else should pay for it – or so the "reasoning" goes. /sarc
Of course the fact that any such product has to be produced at a cost, transported at a cost and distributed at a cost that someone has to pay is just lost on these sorts of folks. It doesn't register.
As far as they're concerned tampons come from magic tampon trees and when they need them, well, they're just there. And because they're just there, they should be free! Don't you get that, you neanderthal?
Frankly I like this answer from a commenter to the article
Why aren't tampons free?
Why isn't soap free or wet wipes or shampoo?
If your argument is that sanitation should be provided for all cheaply then fine [Ed. sorry, but it already is].
But it isn't. Your argument is that its all a plot to make women pay for stuff they need. At the end of the day its not free because in the real world you have to pay for stuff. Your right to a hygienic lady area is no more compelling than mine to a clean backside or clean hands. You are once more guilty of making women victim's of their vaginas.
The commenter is right – the unspoken part of this attempt to fleece others is supposed victimhood. Read the article – it reeks with it.
In reality this is just the inevitable extension of the Sandra Fluke argument that all women are entitled to free contraception because it is a "right" or something.
Where I come from "rights" aren't something others pay for with either time, labor, material or money.
But hey, if you can redefine "health care" you can certainly redefine "rights", no?
QandO at the Crossroads
We've been having a big problem at QandO. The podcast, apparently, has gotten popular. Under our old hosting plan, we had 400GB of bandwidth. Last month, our bandwidth began to skyrocket, almost entirely due to podcast downloads. That has continued this month, too. The excess bandwidth charges for exceeding the monthly bandwidth allowance are $4 per GB.
Essentially, we've gone from an average of about 8GB in bandwidth per day to 50GB per day.
This is complicated by the fact that the old version of QandO was created way back in 2004 using ASP.NET 1.1. It works great. Sadly, it's no longer supported by Microsoft. Last month, when it became clear we were going to blow through our bandwidth allowance, I did two things:
First, I removed the Stitcher podcast player from all the Podcasting posts, to avoid drive-by downloads from the post page. Second, I worked with the web host and was able to upgrade to the last existing ASP.Net 1.1 Premier plan, with a 600GB bandwidth limit, to avoid the bandwidth charges. That costs me $37/mo. As it turned out, bandwidth for the last week of July fell back to normal, so we only went through 415GB, which would've been a $60 excess bandwidth charge for the month.
So, increasing the bandwidth limit to 600GB should be a fix, right? Well, this month, we have already burned through 275.15GB in 10 days. At this rate, we will blow through the monthly bandwidth limit around Aug 22.
So, if you are looking for a podcast that's more than a week old, you won't find it. I've deleted all the older ones. Obviously, that isn't an optimal solution.
The real solution is to move QandO over to a modern Cloud Hosting environment, which has unlimited bandwidth, 10GB of file storage, and only costs $18 per month. But, the newer hosting plans do not support ASP.NET 1.1. Essentially, that means that everything we've written prior to 2009 would, for a while, at least, disappear. I have the old legacy content in a big, honkin' file, but it would take some time to restore the old content to a static HTML page. Ultimately, transferring that would be a lot of work.
In any event, while I'm happy the podcast is becoming more popular, it's causing some problems with trying to reconcile a large chunk of legacy content with modern hosting solutions.
This is complicated by the fact that Jon Henke still owns the domain, so any changes to the server would require him to make the change at GoDaddy. Depending on how long that would take, moving to a new host could mean that QandO will go down for some period of time.
So,all of this is information for you to understand why the Podcast has no archives, and warning that QandO may have to go dark for a day or so if we change to a new hosting plan.

What ever happened to critical thinking
Dr. Thomas Sowell thinks he knows:
In an age when scientists are creating artificial intelligence, too many of our educational institutions seem to be creating artificial stupidity.
Critical thinking seems, in many cases, to be a thing of the past. Ideology seems to be replacing it.
For instance:
Many people in Europe and the Western Hemisphere are staging angry protests against Israel's military action in Gaza. One of the talking points against Israel is that far more Palestinian civilians have been killed by Israeli military attacks than the number of Israeli civilians killed by the Hamas rocket attacks on Israel that started this latest military conflict.
Are these protesters aware that vastly more German civilians were killed by American bombers attacking Nazi Germany during World War II than American civilians killed in the United States by Hitler's forces?
Not only that, are they aware that the intent of the Hamas terrorists is to kill as many Israeli civilians as they can? They're just not very good at it. And, Israel has taken steps to safeguard its civilians while Hamas repeatedly and purposely puts their civilians at risk by launching rockets from populated areas near schools etc.
This isn't something that's hard to figure out … unless you've turned thinking off and ideology (which only allows one to accept "facts" that fit the narrative") on.
Another example involving Jerry Rivers:
Geraldo Rivera has denounced the Drudge Report for carrying news stories that show some of the negative consequences and dangers from allowing vast numbers of youngsters to enter the country illegally and be spread across the country by the Obama administration.
Some of these youngsters are already known to be carrying lice and suffering from disease. Since there have been no thorough medical examinations of most of them, we have no way of knowing whether they, or how many, are carrying deadly diseases that will spread to American children when these unexamined young immigrants enter schools across the country.
The attack against Matt Drudge has been in the classic tradition of demagogues. It turns questions of fact into questions of motive. Geraldo accuses Drudge of trying to start a "civil war."
However, history reminds us:
Back when masses of immigrants from Europe were entering this country, those with dangerous diseases were turned back from Ellis Island. Nobody thought they had a legal or a moral "right" to be in America or that it was mean or racist not to want our children to catch their diseases.
Perfectly acceptable precautions. Perfectly sound reasoning. Something we understood well even back then. But that doesn't fit the ideological narrative today. The fact that the illegals are "children" is what the ideologues want to emphasize in order to shut others up and have them enter freely and be placed within our system. They appeal to emotion, not reason. Reason tells you that you take prudent precautions instead of openly exposing your children to the communicable diseases, etc. that are being brought in by illegals, children or not. Who do we have a greater responsibility toward and why should we risk their lives and health in order to satisfy an ideology? A thinking person would conclude we have a greater responsibility to our own children.
Although liberals are usually gung ho for increasing the minimum wage, there was a sympathetic front-page story in the July 29 San Francisco Chronicle about the plight of a local non-profit organization that will not be able to serve as many low-income minority youths if it has to pay a higher minimum wage. They are seeking some kind of exemption.
Does it not occur to these people that the very same thing happens when a minimum-wage increase applies to profit-based employers? They, too, tend to hire fewer inexperienced young people when there is a minimum-wage law.
No it doesn't "occur" to them because they don't think it through. They simply parrot the emotional buzz-words and phrases their ideology teaches them. The consequences are far less important than getting their way and feeling good about it. But critical thought never enters the picture.
If it did, we'd not be hearing the nonsense these examples present, would we?

David Hedrick from Chattanooga Zoo, Dr. Michael Freake and a student from Lee University, and freelance writer Charli Kerns, surveyed for Hellbenders in an undisclosed East Tennessee location. This stream had never been surveyed for Hellbenders before. The fish, mollusk, aquatic invertebrate, reptile, and amphibian diversity at this location was excellent, but yesterday's trip yielded no Hellbenders…. There was lots of habitat left unexplored. One tool that helps us in our search of difficult habitats is eDNA sampling. Yesterday, we collected a water sample, that will be filtered and that filter will be tested for the presence of Hellbender DNA! This allows us to determine how to allocate research time and conservation resources. This season we received a grant from the Ron Geollner Hellbender Conservation Fund, through the Cryptobranchid Interest Group, to help cover a portion of the expenses of a field study we are conducting along the Cumberland Plateau.
If you've been to the Chattanooga Zoo recently, you may have noticed some new faces during your visit. Within the last few weeks, we have welcomed several new animals including a dromedary camel (pictured above), two capybaras, and an armadillo rescued from the wild.
As these new animals came into our family, we were saddened to see a couple of beloved animals go. Maliah (pictured below), one of our snow leopards, was transferred to Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, R.I. on June 2, where she was recommended for breeding with another snow leopard as part of the Species Survival Plan. We also said goodbye Frank, a longtime riding camel at the zoo, who was transferred to Jo-Dons farms in Franksville, Wisc., to peacefully retire.
Start planning your next visit to the zoo to say hello to our new animal family members!
Did you know that mother cottontails only visit their nest at dawn and dusk to care for their young? The rest of the time, baby cottontails are left alone. The mother does this to protect her young from predators. If you come across a nest of cottontails and don't see the mom, chances are they are not orphaned. The best thing to do is to not disturb the nest and let the mom return to care for her young. If you have any questions about rehab, please contact the Zoo's Gift Shop at 423-697-1319 or email email@example.com..
Everyone knows that dogs are man's best friend, but did you know that some dogs are also great at finding wild turtles? Recently, students from UTC's biology department and Chattanooga Zoo's Herpetology Department enlisted the help of some furry friends to go on a turtle searching escapade.
The group met at the Enterprise South Industrial Complex where they caught over 10 box turtles (what is considered a great day for turtle finding). Students used detector dogs to help locate the turtles that were hiding in the woods. The dogs were so effective that they ended up finding more turtles than the humans did! Once the turtles were found, the group took measurements and did some preliminary research. The turtles were then labeled with transmitters, so that students could do further studies and track them in the coming days.
We thank our friends at UTC for continuing to promote animal research and awareness!

'To love and be loved is life itself, without which we are nought' might smack of Victorian sentiment, but this Wilkie Collins line – which bookends Ralph Fiennes' adap of Claire Tomalin's book about the agonised affair between Charles Dickens (Fiennes) and Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones) – is one of several aching truths it evokes.
The film shows how deeply Nelly affected Dickens, and how their hook-up ultimately enslaved her. Abi Morgan's rich script doesn't excuse Dickens' philandering but doesn't descend to easy finger-wagging.

of Science and the Useful Arts" and modeled on the Statute of Anne, the Copyright Act granted authors or their transferees protection though remedies of forfeiture and monetary penalties against infringing "print[ing], reprint[ing], publish[ing], and vend[ing]" of books, maps, and charts for 14 years and allowed renewal for a second 14-year term.
Like other legislation of this era, Congress left many of the details to be fleshed out by the courts. As a result, many essential elements of copyright protection, such as infringement standards and defenses, developed through judicial decisions. Some of these doctrines were later codified, but many continue to exist solely in case law. Private copyright-related institutions and transactional practices and technology for creating, copying, and distributing works are also important contributions to the evolution of the copyright policy environment as we describe below.
Advances in the technologies for creating and distributing works of authorship have played a critical role in shaping copyright law starting in the nineteenth century and continuing to today. As technology for making and reproducing works of authorship has expanded and the arts have flourished, Congress has repeatedly amended the Copyright Act to extend to new media and means of exploitation.
The domain of copyrighted works expanded over the course of the nineteenth century due to technological advances, changes in the creative market, and resulting changes in the scope of protectable subject matter. The publishing industry experienced explosive growth, with innovations in technologies for embodying artistic expression, such as the invention of photography. Whole new categories of works were created with Congress and the courts expanded protection to cover them. As the Supreme Court would later observe, "[a]s our technology has expanded the means available for creative activity and has provided economical means for reproducing manifestations of such activity, new areas of federal protection have been initiated" Goldstein v. California, 412 U.S. 546, 562 n.17 (1973).
Over the course of the nineteenth century, the nature of the exclusive rights granted by U.S. copyright law changed from the initial relatively narrow rights to print, reprint, publish, and vend. Some of this change occurred in the courts whose decisions were later codified in subsequent statutory amendments. In 1856, copyright holders' exclusive rights were expanded by statute to cover the right to publicly perform dramatic works. In 1870, translation and dramatic adaptation were added to the Copyright Act. In 1897, a public performance right was added for dramatic musical compositions. The process of judicial development and legislative codification also included limitations to the scope of copyright.

This post is certain to polarize the Disinfo audience, as some of you seem to follow Chopra and others Dawkins. Let's all try to be civil in the comments!
via The Raw Story:
… Read the rest
A new book details the years-long, highly acrimonious feud between self-help guru Deepak Chopra and evolutionary biologist and skeptic Richard Dawkins.
According to Salon.com, Tom Roston's book The Quantum Prophets: Richard Dawkins, Deepak Chopra and the spooky truth about their battle over God, explains that the longstanding rivalry between the two men began at the 2002 TED Conference and culminated in a public debate in 2013. In an interview with Roston, Chopra explained that Dawkins' "arrogance" continues to bother him.
"With Dawkins, I am just pissed off. I am pissed off by his arrogance and his pretense of being a really good scientist. He is not," Chopra told Roston. "And he is using his scientific credentials to literally go on a rampage."
When Roston said that this kind of resentment is surprising coming from a man who purports to teach millions of others the secrets of inner peace, Chopra, surprisingly, agreed.

Health & Parenting
Violent Images Impact Kids Differently
Children 6 to 12
Typically, children in this age group "lack the depth of consequences," Hagan tells WebMD.
That's why it's important for parents to make themselves available to discuss what's behind the violent images their children witness. "Tell your children repeatedly that you're there to talk about it with them," Salamon urges.
To make such a conversation effective, parents need to know where to start. "Ask how much they know and understand about what's going on. Don't automatically assume anything," Hagan says.
It's likely initiating a conversation will lead to ongoing dialogue. "Be available to your children. As they process the information, they'll be coming back to you," Hagan says.
When it comes to teens' exposure to violent images, parents can and should take a direct, involved approach, Salamon says. "Go over the news, read the newspaper together, discuss what's going on," he suggests.
Older children exposed to violent images can find it empowering to be part of a solution. For instance, if a natural disaster strikes, parents may suggest that their children contact the local Red Cross chapter to see how they can volunteer to help.
When kids get involved, they gain a sense of control, explains Hagan. "It makes them feel like they're making a difference," she tells WebMD.
Older children may also find comfort in developing a plan of action, should a catastrophic event touch their own lives, suggests Brian Chu, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Rutgers University.
"Problem-solve with your child," he says. This might include plans on how parents and children can maintain contact with one another in the event of a tragedy, like getting in touch by cell phone. The level of detail parents offer during such a discussion should depend on the age, maturity level, and general anxiety level of the child, explains Chu.
Reduce Excessive Exposure at Any Age
Most experts agree that children, regardless of age, should not be exposed to an excessive amount of violent images. Seeing a bomb explode is one thing. Watching it detonate repeatedly can make a single incident seem much grander in scale, particularly to an audience of young children.
Take, for example, coverage of 9/11 events. "Little kids kept seeing those images, and they thought there were lots of planes," says Kaslow.
Around-the-clock news coverage from multiple sources makes it difficult to limit exposure. "It's constant. We have 24-hour news stations, which leads people to believe they live in an unsafe environment," Villani tells WebMD.
So it's up to parents to monitor exposure. "TV shouldn't be background noise, particularly 24-hour news shows. That visual image is enticing, but children can't necessarily process it," Villani says.
Fear is one consequence of excessive exposure; unwanted behavior changes are another. "The literature has concluded that, in some cases, repeated exposure to violence heightens neurochemical changes in the brain that correlate with aggressive behavior," Salamon tells WebMD.
Plus, lots of children need a break from the real-life violence they confront in everyday life. "Thirty five percent of children are sexually abused over time. Seventy percent of children in urban environments are exposed to violence. Why would we want to exposure them to even more?" Salamon asks.

Customer Reviews for Silk Habotai
Beautiful Silk Habotai
I used this material for a very simple contrast-backed scarf. The material is perfectly light-weight yet substantial enough to be easy to work with and with the two layers, made for a perfect scarf/evening wrap. The colors did not run/fade when washing to pre-shrink and unless I was mistaken, there was very little, if any, shrinking. Liked so much I purchased more. Excellent range of colours and shipping timing was excellent (order to receipt of material). I would happily recommend to anyone seeking this material. If color-matching is critical, obtain samples. The colors are not "exact matches" to the screen colors - small disappointment - but anticipated and again, great range of options.
Pros: Nice drape Easy to work Light yet warm as a wrap.
Cons: None
I would recommend this to a friend
Sensually Soft
I adore this habotai silk - it is the softest I have found on the market and it is a dream to sew. It's perfect for beyond beautiful linings and is gorgeous alone too.
