Washington Nationals (14-12) at Houston Astros (9-17), 8:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Washington - Gio Gonzalez (3-1, 3.00) Houston - Jarred Cosart (1-2, 6.12)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Southpaw Gio Gonzalez makes his first start since being pulled from a game with shoulder tightness when the Washington Nationals visit Minute Maid Park on Tuesday night for the first of two interleague games with the Houston Astros.
Gonzalez threw 83 pitches over five innings and allowed two runs before leaving the game on Wednesday, which the Nationals ultimately won, 5-4, over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
He's not had much interleague success, not winning a single one of his last seven starts while compiling a bloated 6.88 earned run average.
Gonzalez has won two in a row against the Astros, however, allowing three runs in 16 innings against them in 2012, while they were still playing in the National League.
Houston, which has won just five home games in 14 tries, replies with righty Jared Cosart.
It's the first career interleague start for Cosart, who comes in after allowing just four hits in 6 2/3 innings against Seattle on Wednesday, though the Astros lost the game, 5-3.
One start previously, he was nicked for seven runs in just one-third of an inning at Oakland.
On Sunday in Washington, Ian Kennedy threw seven outstanding innings and the San Diego Padres' struggling offense finally broke through in a 4-2 decision over the Nationals that wrapped up a four-game set.
Joaquin Benoit allowed a leadoff homer to Nate McLouth in the eighth that brought Washington within 4-2, but combined with Huston Street to limit the Nationals to one hit the rest of the way.
Ross Detwiler (0-1) was tagged for four hits and walked one in 1 1/3 innings in relief of Taylor Jordan, who held San Diego to a run on three hits before being lifted after four frames due to an illness he was battling.
In Houston, Collin McHugh dazzled in his second start of the season to lead the Astros to a 5-1 win over the Athletics in the finale of a four-game set.
McHugh took a one-hit shutout into the ninth inning and retired the first two batters he faced before running into trouble. Brandon Moss was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on Alberto Callaspo's bloop single to center before Raul Valdes relieved McHugh and got Craig Gentry to fly out to end the game.
McHugh (2-0), who finished his outing allowing a run on two hits with seven strikeouts over 8 2/3 innings, bounced around early in his career, making brief stints with the Mets and Rockies before finding a home in Houston. He went 6 2/3 scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts in his season debut against the Mariners on April 22.
"He kind of slings the ball a little bit (but) stuff-wise I feel like he's OK. I don't think it was anything special," A's designated hitter Josh Donaldson said. "But he changed speeds well and whenever you're able to get strike one early, it's going to benefit you."
Jose Altuve homered for the Astros. He and Jonathan Villar both had two hits with a pair of RBI.
The Nationals won seven of eight versus the Astros in 2012, including a four- game sweep in Houston.

I'm having problems getting this tip to work
I had the same problem, even after changing the user agent. It turned out it was remembering the last page I had been on, which was the page you're talking about. There must be at least two ways to fix this (I did the second):
1. Type Command-Shift-H to tell it to go to the home page, which should be the real tasks page.
2. Hit the lozenge in the upper right corner to show the location bar, and change the location to " http://mail.google.com/tasks ". Hit the lozenge again.

Got it! Thanks. It was remembering the last page I had seen.

sharmaneesu Started The Discussion:
Dear Seniors
Can you please guide me on the given matter;
do we need to have a receiving copy of notice duly signed by the employee in case of notice of discontinuation of services?. is it necessary for each termination / discontinuation ?.
waiting for early response...
vineetsaini19 - Member Since: Aug 2008
Dear Nishu,
It is always good to keep record of the letter/ notices given to the employees after getting them signed from the employee. So that you have a proof that the employee have accepted it on a particular date.
Normally, this is done to avoid any false legal consequesces that the employee can file againt the employer making any excuse eg. that the company didnt give notice period etc.
You must keep the photocopy or acceptance of every important document that you give to the employee. This also help to maintain employee files.
sharmaneesu - Member Since: Feb 2008
Thanks Vineet, this is what I thought. Now it is confirmed that this is a practice also in industry. Thank u so much. Nishu

Hello All!
I am running a small web site and I am interested in
deploying software/hardware which can detect DDoS
attacks (SYN floods, application based attacks, etc)
on my perimeter network. I have been reading that some
products will do this... like Cisco Netflow, Arbor
networks, etc.. but I am not sure how effective these
products are.
Essentially, I just looking for some good tools that
can quickly detect the source IP of zombie machines so
I can go back to my ISP and have them filter out the
traffic upstream.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams might intend to impose an A-through-F grading scale for rating the state's public schools, but it isn't because advisory committees recommended it.Contrary to what Williams implied while testifying before the Senate Education Committee Tuesday, two panels that spent many months devising a new method of measuring school performance overwhelmingly disliked using A-F.And public comments submitted to the Texas Education Agency on the proposed accountability changes had nothing good to say about the scale preferred by Williams, Gov. Rick Perry and some legislators.Those comments called A-F rankings stigmatizing, degrading and "an anachronism" when Texas is trying to improve, innovate and reform to prepare students for the future."This is setting up our schools for inaccurate public perceptions and does not tell the entire story of how a campus or district is performing," said one commenter, whose name is not included in a compilation from TEA that's online at bit.ly/17fkqbZ.Under the old accountability system, which was based primarily on student scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), schools were rated exemplary, recognized, acceptable or unacceptable.But with the transition to the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) -- which was mandated by the Legislature -- Williams' predecessor, Robert Scott, appointed panels of administrators, teachers, legislative staffers, academics and business people to revisit the factors that school ratings take into account.The committees proposed a composite score that would consider four main areas: student achievement, student year-to-year progress, closing of performance gaps and college/career readiness of graduates. (bit.ly/13UTeAi)Districts and individual schools then would be rated as "met standard" or "improvement required." Those that meet minimum standards could receive exemplary, recognized or other special designations for doing an outstanding job. (bit.ly/Z4xdY6)HB5, a wide-ranging education measure that passed the Texas House in March and is pending in the Senate, includes a requirement that schools and districts be given a rating of A, B, C, D or F.It's possible that an A-F scheme could be adapted to provide a meaningful reflection of what's actually happening in schools, rather than resulting for some campuses in the equivalent of a shaming scarlet letter.But Williams' defense of the simplified scale as "a system that we all grew up with" begs for perspective: He's almost 58; other key proponents are older and would have gone through school in the 1950s and '60s. Surely they wouldn't also prescribe blackboards and chalk for tackling Texas' current and future educational challenges.

It seems the Miami Marlins have instituted a radical new offseason training program with the goal of being able to produce more players with the physique of Giancarlo Stanton. The program requires the player to totally commit to the regimen including involving every member of his family. Over the weekend third baseman Ed Lucas tweeted out a picture to illustrate the amazing results his family is getting from the program:

Greatest Moments in Marlins History: #99 The First Gold Glove
Welcome back to the Greatest Moments in Marlins History. Today is a day to celebrate! With moment 99 we are finally in the double digits of days until Opening Day! Let's jump on in with the first ever Gold Glove winner in Marlins history! Charles Johnson won the Gold Glove Award in 1995 as a catcher.
Fishing the NL East: Who Will Win the Division?
With us being done with the heavy lifting of the off-season, I think it's a fair time to try and see how the division will fare in 2014. The Braves have to been seen as the early favorites in the division, despite having another short post-season run. Until they are defeated, they are still the NL East Champs. The Nationals seem to be improved on paper, but that was the case before they turned in a poor 2013 season. The Phillies should take a step back and I'd expect the Mets and Marlins to improve in 2014.
Miami Marlins Sign Former Met Jordany Valdespin
The Miami Marlins have continued their active offseason by signing embattled outfielder Jordany Valdespin to a minor league contract. According to Marlins' blogger Joe Frisaro, the contract does not include an invite to spring training.
Greatest Moments in Marlins History: #100 The Golden Pitcher
Welcome back to the Greatest Moments in Marlins History. With 100 days until Opening Day we bring you the last triple digit moment on this list. Moment 100 is Mark Buerlhe's 2012 Gold Glove Award as a Pitcher!
Greatest Moments in Marlins History: #101 Back to Back to Back
Welcome back to the Greatest Moments in Marlins History. As we continue our look at the Gold Glove Award winners for the Marlins, let's take a trip back to 2005 for moment 101. Today we are looking at Luis Castillo's 2005 Gold Glove Award at Second Base.
Greatest Moments in Marlins History: #102 Luis Goes Back to Back
Welcome back to the Greatest Moments in Marlins History. In moment 103 we left you with Luis Castillo's 2003 Gold Glove Award, and I know some of you were wondering why I didn't talk about Luis 2004 Gold Glove Award.

Could US Budget Woes Undo HIV Breakthroughs?
As recently as a few years ago, patients infected with HIV living in Africa were likely to be turned away from health clinics, with no help for treatment in sight. They were told to go home and plan their funerals. This was the story old on NPR news radio this week. But a few recent studies may presage a different ending to this sad story.
Two studies indicate that daily prophylactic use of antiretroviral therapies may be an important addition to an overall anti-infection strategy for uninfected individuals who engage in sexual activity with HIV-infected partners. In mid-July, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released results of a study (referred to as the TDF2 study) done in Botswana, along with a separate trial by the University of Washington conducted in Kenya and Uganda, that show "a daily oral dose of antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV infection can reduce HIV acquisition among uninfected individuals exposed to the virus through heterosexual sex." In this study, uninfected individuals taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) reduced their risk of acquiring HIV infection by roughly 63 percent overall.
A previous study, says the CDC release, demonstrated that PrEP can reduce the transmission of HIV among men who have sex with men as well.
The CDC release cautioned that the prophylactic therapy "was only shown to be effective in clinical trials when provided in combination with regular HIV testing, condoms, and other proven prevention methods." The release contained other important conditions and caveats.
When administered properly, this type of preventive, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, treatment has amazing promise, especially for populations in sub-Saharan Africa countries, where two-thirds of the world's HIV infected individuals (a total of nearly 34 million people are HIV-infected) reside, according to World Health Organization and UNAIDS statistics.
Another report, published in this week's Annals of Internal Medicine, shows that life expectancy of patients living in Uganda "increased substantially" with the use of combination antiretroviral therapy, again giving hope to already infected HIV patients that they may be able to live a long, normal life.
This time last year, President Obama initiated a National HIV/AIDS Strategy that aims to reduce the number of new HIV infections, increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV, and reduce HIV-related health disparities. Since then, investments [e.g., funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program in FY 2011 was increased by $50 million and funding for HIV prevention programs at CDC were increased] and related policy changes have been made. But to continue making progress and to meet the strategy's upcoming year of goals, which largely focus on increasing collaboration and partnerships, the government needs to maintain its commitment to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
The debt ceiling debate that has plagued the news wires recently is not just about the US government's ability to pay back its loans or about America's reputation around the world (although those are highly important factors), but it also affects many programs, including healthcare and ultimately HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Potential cuts to the Medicaid program as part of a debt-relief deal could have a significant negative effect on the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and its related goals, reports David Ernesto Munar of the Huffington Post.
This week, the sixth annual International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention is taking place in Rome. On July 19, data released at the conference showed that global investments in HIV treatment-related research and development reached $2.46 billion in 2009, with the US National Institutes of Health providing the most public-sector investment at $1.6 billion [www.treatmentactiongroup.org.] In the same year, bio/pharmaceutical companies invested $591 million. According to a UNAIDS press release about the report, an estimated 6.6 million people currently have access to antiretroviral treatment but 9 million more are still in need.
UN member states committed to expanding access to treatment for 15 million people by 2015. And Goal 6 of the UN Millennium Development Goals, which the US and all UN member states have agreed to work to achieve by 2015, calls for universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS and for the reversal of the spread of HIV/AIDS.
The scientific community is doing its part to make breakthroughs in HIV prevention and treatment that could not be conceived of even 5 years ago. It's only fair that US leaders continue to do their part as well.

Dan Wetzel On The Jets Obsession With The Pats

• Almost immediately after his election, President-elect Barack Obama considered possible members of his Cabinet and staff. Obama and vice president-elect Joe Biden will give up their seats in the Senate. The governors of Illinois and Delaware, respectively, will choose their replacements. Should any of the current members of Congress be called on to fill cabinet positions, their successors will also need to be chosen.
Citizens Against Government Waste
• While Congress was on a five-week recess from August to September, the process for nominating presidential candidates (Senators John McCain and Barack Obama) took over the news headlines and focused attention on the coming election. As the campaign heated up and gathered steam, there were ever more promises as to what each candidate, if elected, would do by way of new programs and legislation.
A resolute President Bush may go down swinging as he finishes his term in office. In a recent Rose Garden speech he outlined his plans to combat skyrocketing energy costs by drilling for oil in Alaska, adding more refineries in the U.S. and building more nuclear plants. Those and other Bush proposals have not fared well as the Democrat-majority Congress appeared to be content to wait until after the November elections to act.
• Congress recessed for a couple of weeks at Easter time. "Pro forma" sessions continued in the Senate. To keep President Bush from making recess appointments for a number of government positions, the Senate convenes and adjourns in a matter of minutes, thereby blocking presidential action.
• As Washington pundits predicted, the $3.1 trillion budget President Bush proposed for the federal fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2008, received a cold reception from Democrats; Republicans were lukewarm on it. This being an election year, Presidential goals are not necessarily those of lawmakers and contentious negotiations might not resolve differences by election day.
• Following the recess for the year-end holiday season, the 110th Congress apparently was in no rush to resume work on leftover legislation and to prepare for new business. The House of Representatives returned on January 15, while the Senate indulged in "pro forma" or "hello and goodbye" sessions until January 22.
• The 108th Congress became history at the end of last year and its pending legislation died on the vine. Legislators in the 109th Congress, which was due to convene after the January 20 presidential inauguration, may consider which of the dead bills merit reconsideration and reintroduction. Legislator benefit by way of pleasing constituents comes first, and doing what is best for the country has a somewhat lower priority.
• Trillions, billions and chump-change millions appear to be the common denominations being bandied about in halls of Congress. For example, the House of Representatives approved a $2.4 trillion budget resolution that would increase spending by some 7 percent for the military and homeland defense, cut or freeze spending for other agencies and put the brakes on further tax cuts to the benefit of the economy.
• House Minority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) has been the subject of months of scrutiny for alleged improprieties in accepting travel paid for by lobbyists, which has led to finger-pointing by both parties. That, in turn, has caused a number of legislators to double-check their travel records to ensure that proper procedures for travel were followed.
• When Congress returned from its summer sojourn, lawmakers had 15 workdays scheduled for September. Very few, if any, were on the books for this month, as lawmakers will spend considerable time preparing for the November elections.

Special Focus: Cancer Commentary Series Guest Editors: Michael G. Hanna and Alex Kudrin
This study estimated the potential impact of universal infant HAV vaccination in Mexico with two doses of Havrix™ at 12 and 18 mo of age on all HAV infections and symptomatic HAV infections. We developed a dynamic transmission model that accounts for changes in demography and HAV epidemiology. It was calibrated using Mexican age-specific seroprevalence and symptomatic HAV incidence data.
With 70% first-dose coverage and 85% second-dose coverage, the calibrated model projected that HAV vaccination would reduce the incidence of all HAV infections (symptomatic and asymptomatic) after the first 25 y of vaccination by 71–76% (minimum and maximum for different transmission scenarios). The projected reduction in cumulative incidence of symptomatic HAV infections over the first 25 y of vaccination was 45–51%. With 90% first-dose coverage and 85% second-dose coverage, the projected reduction in incidence of all HAV infections was 85–93%, and the projected reduction in the cumulative incidence of symptomatic HAV infections was 61–67%, over a 25-y time frame. Sensitivity analyses indicated that second-dose coverage is important under the conservative base-case assumptions made about the duration of vaccine protection.
The model indicated that universal infant HAV vaccination could substantially reduce the burden of HAV disease in Mexico.View Article
A single dose of the 3.75µg HA AS03-adjuvanted H1N1 2009 pandemic vaccine induced immune responses against the vaccine strain that met the European regulatory guidance criteria at day 21 in the elderly Japanese population; the immune response persisted at lower levels at month 6. No safety concerns were identified. These results suggest that two vaccine doses might be useful for the elderly population to improve antibody induction and persistence.Methods: In this open-label, single group study, 50 subjects received one dose of the 3.75 µg hemagglutinin (HA) AS03-adjuvanted H1N1 2009 vaccine. Immunogenicity assessments were made before vaccination, 21 days and six months after vaccination using hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and microneutralization assays. Immunogenicity end points were based on US and European regulatory criteria.View Article

blogging my seventeen diet day, part 1
on the left is my lunch according to seventeen's "yummiest (healthiest) day" diet. they instructed me to eat a "fistful" of whole wheat mac n cheese with broccoli. i realized that i packed more than a fistful (also what is a fistfull??) so i gave the rest of my pasta to my friend stephanie (in the middle). on the right is my friend joneka eating a normal human lunch.
i was finished with my lunch in a few minutes. everyone at the table was shocked at what i was eating. i've never found myself staring lovingly at my friends good. i could tell you right now what every person at the table was eating from erin's potato chips to joneka's bbq.
all day i was turning down food from friends. "i can't" i told them. this was one day for me, but imagine living this way, measuring food in fists and sprinkles every single day! in between meals i ate banana chips which are fine at first, but when that's all you have to eat between meals, all day it gets old. fast.
A "fist full" is a measurement of how much dry mac you can hold in one fist, so like if you grabbed it and dropped it in the pot directly. One fist full of cooked is not a lot, but a fist full of dry is more like two fist fulls of cooked.
God, that sounds awful, though. And banana chips are not a healthy food at all! That's a joke if they mean to say that's a good choice. It has so much sugar, you might as well be eating candy. Even if it's natural sugar (which it [mostly] is), it's still not good to be eating a lot.
that's a great point! i wish seventeen had explained what exactly a fistful was, i don't think that's common knowledge for most teens. re: banana chips, they suggest apple chips but i couldn't find any at my grocery store or wal-mart.

Recipe by MY2ANGELS319731
"Green peppers stuffed with a mixture of ground beef, rice, and onion, seasoned with fresh garlic, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper, and held together with tomato sauce are topped with shredded mozzarella cheese and baked."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 1/2 cups
1 cup
brown rice
1 teaspoon
olive oil, or as needed
6 large
green bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 1/2 pounds
lean ground beef
onion, diced
1 (15 ounce) can
tomato sauce
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
ground coriander
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
1 teaspoon
ground cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups
finely shredded mozzarella cheese
This needed just a hint of help to be 4 stars as it was lacking some flavor, so I'll give it the four because it IS better than a three star recipe and it's easy to fix. The issues are not enough tomato flavor, which is easily fixed my adding some tomato paste, and it needed and herb of some sort so I felt oregano would work well. Other than that, I used red bell pepper as a preference and chopped the top and cooked it with the onion. The directions don't say when to add the garlic, so I added it when the onions started to turn translucent. I'm not a big spicy person so I used less cayenne, and instead of mozzarella, I thought using Mexican cheese blend went better. I liked really the outcome with these changes!
Very good. I used rice a ronii instead of plain rice and sausage instead of hamburger.

- Slows Hair Fall-Out and Improves Follicular Health
- Nanosome Technology to Deliver Actives to Targeted Cells

- From The Leader in Biotechnical Research
- A Breakthrough Innovation
- Clinically Proven to Provide The Appearance of Thicker Hair
Spectal.RS combines Aminexil with adenosine, procyanidin B-2, vitamin and mineral complex, plant extracts, copper peptides, and others. The effectiveness of these breakthrough compounds closely resembles that of minoxidil, without the danger of side effects. They work synergistically to deliver maximum results. To insure best performance, ingredients are encapsulated within Nanosomes, which are microspheres that penetrate the deepest layers of skin to release ingredients slowly over a 12-hour period.
Technological Highlights
- Aminexil
- Adenosine
- Procyanidin B-2
- Citrulline
- Nanosomes
- Copper peptides
- Astilbin
- And more...
This cutting-edge formula works by addressing the multiple causes that lead to thinning hair, such as perifollicular fibrosis, stress, hormonal disturbance, lack of vitamins or mineral salts, and certain medications. In perifollicular fibrosis, a condition that accompanies all hair loss, collagen around the root becomes rigid and tightens, thus pushing the root to the surface and resulting in hair loss. Spectral.RS effectively addresses these variables with the most comprehensive topical solution.
Nanosomes: Intelligent Cosmetic
DS Laboratories' products feature the most advanced technology to transport active substances: Nanosomes. These tiny organic microspheres, each programmed for a specific function, allow active ingredients to penetrate the skin to a desired depth and make it possible to determine their degree of absorption. As the Nanosomes are absorbed, skin enzymes digest their capsules and release their contents in a gradual programmed manner.
Suggested Use
Shake before use.
Apply 10 or more sprays in area of thinning hair twice per day. Rub the liquid evenly over the entire scalp. Do not rinse. Spectral.RS should be applied on a consistent schedule whether hair has been washed or not. Spectral.RS can be used in combination with topical treatments containing minoxidil.
Important Information:
Spectral.RS contains Nanosomes to increase absorption. If using minoxidil or other topical treatments in conjunction with Spectral.RS, Nanosomes may enhance the absorption of all compounds, which may increase the chance of side effects from minoxidil.

Different day, same end result, different method of getting there as the San Jose Sharks took the game and with it the momentum as the Kings unraveled after a fast start.
The Kings, after falling behind 5-0 in game 1, got off to a fast start in this one, taking a 2-0 lead on goals by Jake Muzzin and Trevor Lewis in the first 10 minutes.
Still, Jonathan Quick was the answer in the first period as he was spectacular in making 15 stops, as the Sharks were relentless despite falling behind.
San Jose's 4th line took over early in the second, as Andrew Desjardins set up both Mike Brown and Raffi Torres for goals in the first 10 minutes to even the score. Justin Braun put the Sharks up by one before the period was out, and the third period was all Sharks as they counted 4 times in the first 10:06 of the frame.
The big 4 for San Jose took over in the third as Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture all scored in the final 20 minutes to turn a close game into a 7-2 rout as the Kings couldn't match the Sharks' speed game and puck moving ability.
The Kings can take some solace knowing the success of the home teams in the series between these teams. 23 of the last 25 games between the Sharks and Kings were won by the home team, including all 7 in last year's playoff. The Kings still need to take 1 in San Jose, but first and foremost they have to get even in their home games, the first of which goes Tuesday night.

Apia, Samoa, 15 Dec 2010 -- Supported by conclusions from a new data scoping report, Pacific Island Countries plan to expand data collection on agriculture production, domestic food marketing and agriculture trade to provide decision-makers with actionable information that can be used to strengthen food security across the Pacific islands.Food security in the Pacific has been threatened for decades. Declining investment, climate change and deterioration of land and water for agriculture and fisheries have eroded the region's capacity to sustain local food production. A growing reliance on food imports has heightened island susceptibility to food and fuel price volatility. Still, island agriculture not only provides food for most islanders, it is their main source of income and also makes up the bulk of island exports.The Subregional Office for the Pacific Islands of UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) funded the study called: Agriculture Data — Report on a Scoping Study in Six Pacific Island Countries.According to the report, public access to general statistical information in Pacific Island Countries has steadily improved in recent years with the development of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community's Pacific Regional Information System (SPC/PRISM) and a number of national websites. But, the study also found that "these sites currently have limited information on basic agriculture statistics."The decisions that Pacific islanders make about their agriculture sector could mean the difference between economic growth and social stability, or growing poverty and social unrest. The data scoping report says that a solid database on the agriculture sector would go a long way towards helping policy-makers and private sector agro-business leaders make informed decisions that would improve food security.From May to November 2010 the data scoping mission visited six Pacific Island Countries (Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu) to assess the capacity of the countries to produce, report and use data that is commonly needed to monitor national trends in agricultural production and to understand the role of the domestic agriculture sector, including local food and labour markets.An expert consultation reviewed the data scoping report on 22-23 October 2010 in Nadi, Fiji and called for enhanced evidence-based decision making for sustainable agriculture development in the Pacific islands. The group urged leaders to think about policy priorities and issues to help identify key data needs.From the government perspective, improved data availability implies value being realized through improved policy decisions, better monitoring of current policies and programmes, and improved public and private investment.= = = = =Press release issued by the FAO Subregional Office for the Pacific.

I didn't even see her shirt was gone the first time, since her shirt is usually white. So in the last panel I looked and I saw white, so I thought, "what the hell is she talking about?"
...Does that mean I pass?
[Posted by BreakerLOLZ on 25 Mar 2012 05:11 am]
@Chris the wolf: Spanish and Italian share a lot of the same words due to them both sharing Latin roots. Spelling may be similar but pronunciation and stressed syllables can make a difference.
Note: I do not know if "tesoro" is pronounced differently in Italian.

LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) -- Registration is open for the biennial Stonewall Jackson symposium in VMI in Lexington, the final resting place for the legendary Confederate military leader.
The symposium is scheduled for May 23-24. Sponsored by the Stonewall Jackson House, it will examine the life and career of the Civil War general. Six authorities on the Civil War and Jackson are scheduled to explore Jackson's career as a teacher and leader of men.
Jackson taught at Virginia Military Institute and he is buried there. The Stonewall Jackson House is the only house he ever owned. It is one of three museums operate by VMI.

Middle school and high school students explored careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — STEM — last Saturday at the College of Lake County's STEM Day for Girls.
A total of 191 girls and 60 parents attended hands-on workshops and presentations at the college's Grayslake campus. Last year, 80 girls attended STEM Day.
"For the first time ever, we had to close registration early," said Maureen Robinson, the college's associate dean of biological and health sciences. "That's an amazing problem to have and it also tells us next year we have to go bigger."
At an opening assembly, Robinson told students they were "making an investment in your education and your future career."
Girls selected from a variety of workshops, including lasers, medical technology, engineering, sustainability and nanotechnology. Each session provided hands-on, practical experience. Industry representatives were on hand to offer career advice during lunch.
Judy Drake, 13, of Lindenhurst said she attended the event because, "I'm looking to go into the engineering field." She said she was hoping "to learn more about it." Her first workshop was "Engineering Our Future," presented by past and present College of Lake County students.
"Someone told my science teacher about this program and I was really interested because science and math are my favorite subjects," said Ava Nadjari, 12, of Lincolnshire. "I asked my mom to sign me up."
Parents participated in workshops to learn how to encourage their daughters to study STEM fields, experience hands-on activities they can repeat at home, and learn about STEM programs at CLC and scholarship opportunities.
Willy Pardinas of Green Oaks attended the event with his daughter, Sofia, 14.
"My first degree is in engineering and I wanted my daughter to consider it," said Pardinas, senior vice president of Metagenics, a health-care products company. "She's got a very open mind, she's inquisitive, and I think the environment is not always best suited for women to go into engineering. I wanted to learn how to help her do that, as well as see if she likes it."
"It's really about her," Andrew Forrest of Highland Park said of his 11-year-old daughter, Ainsley. "We're trying to figure out where she's at, where she's going, and see if she's interested in any of this. Giving her exposure early is, I understand, always helpful, and providing her with an opportunity to see what it is she wants to do, " Forrest said.
"It's a great opportunity," added Ainsley's mother, Ann. "I'm learning a lot. She has to see mom interested, or it doesn't fly."
Carol Foreman, a seventh-grade science teacher at Big Hollow Middle School in Ingleside, was supervising an experiment in the STEM Day Exploratorium.
"I think it's really important for us to keep these girls interested in science all the way through high school," Foreman said. "We lose them as juniors and seniors and we don't know why. It's very typical for girls to love science and excel in middle school, and by the time they're a junior, they're starting to go to prom, they're dating, and moms may not be too keen on science.
"It doesn't seem cool anymore to be a scientist," Foreman said.
"Some of the things they're doing here are very important in how women absorb and interpret things," parent Willy Pardinas said of Saturday's STEM Day. "We can't do it in a man's way. I don't like to generalize, but women are wired differently."

This video is nuts -- an Indiana toddler took the mic at his church recently, and sang a hate-filled anti-gay song ... with the lyrics, "Ain't no homos gonna make it to heaven" ... and the crowd went WILD.
The video was reportedly recorded at the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in Greensburg, Indiana -- featuring a young boy on the altar, barely old enough to walk, singing a song he was obviously spoon fed.
It's pretty hard to make out the words -- so here are the lyrics ...
"The Bible's right, somebody's wrong.
The Bible's right, somebody's wrong.
Romans one, twenty six and twenty seven;
Ain't no homos gonna make it to Heaven."
The congregation erupts in thunderous applause after the song.
FYI, here's Romans 1:26-27 -- "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
It's the latest video to hit the web showing rampant homophobia in America's churches -- starting with a North Carolina pastor advocating beating the gay out of your child ... and another NC pastor talking about fencing up gay people and letting them die out.
This is sick! The parents are despicable and disgusting, and the worse part of it all, this poor innocent child has no chance. Not that it matters, this is coming from a heterosexual male.
and with this the lil basr\tard will grow up to be a homo...who the phk but idiots let a child do that...i see a lil azz hole getting his azz kicked in school...lil mutha phka!
I fail to see the "hate" in the posted lyrics of this song. The belief that gays will not be admitted into heaven is not "hate". To label this song "hate filled" is dishonest. Maybe I'm missing something.
"Tha'ts my boy" in tune and everything.
Child abuse is what this is. Way to take advantage of a child's developing mind. It's shameful these people are even in America. Such silly weirdos
Dont be a fool & don't get mad that SOME PARENTS ACTUALLY ARE TRYING TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN THE TRUTH & NOT CONFORM TO SOCIETY BY SAYING THAT BEING GAY IS OK B/C IT DOESNT MATTER TO ME MY SOUL & MY CHILDS SOUL & FAMILIES SOULS IS WHAT MATTER TO ME. YOU WANNA BE GAY SO BE IT, DONT COME OUT SCREAMING THAT WE HAVE TO OR ARE GOING TO ACCEPT IT! STOP TRYING TO GET ATTENTION ALL THE TIME BY SHOVING IT DOWN SOMEONES THROAT THAT THINKS ITS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS WRONG!!! AND YEA THE BIBLE CLEARLY STATES THAT NO NOMOSEXUALS WILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN! THE GAY'S WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ATTENTION ISNT BEING GAY ATTENTION ENOUGH?? I HAVE NO SYMPATHY NOR REMORSE FOR YOUR CHOICES & THE WAY YOU GET TREATED. I DONT TREAT ANYONE BAD BUT MY DAUGHTER IS 7 & I HAVE ALREADY TAUGHT HER THAT THAT IS WRONG& SHE WILL TELL YOU & I AM PROUD THAT SHE KNOWS THE TRUTH & THE SCHOOLS NOR TV NOR SOCIETY CAN TELL HER THAT ITS OK! ITS RIDICULOUS PEOPLE CARE MORE ABOUT GAYS GETTING MARRIED THAN OUR DAMN COUNTRY & WHERE ITS HEADED! ITS A DAMN SHAME & IT DISGUSTS ME TO KNOW THAT OUR WORLD IS SO CORRUPTED WITH SATAN THAT GOD IS GOING TO COME BACK JUST LIKE IN SODOM & GOMORRAH DAYS & WIPE OUT THE EARTH OVER ALL THE HOMOSEXUALITY THAT IS GOING ON! THEY SAY GOD ISNT REAL SO THEY DONT FEEL ANY GUILT & THEY DONT SUPPORT GOD ...YET THEY SUPPORT THIS IMMORAL LIFESTYLE THAT IS DISGUSTING AS MAGGOTS! GET OVER IT! AT LEAST THERE ARE A FEW SOUND MIND PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES BELIEVE IN GOD & THE WORD & TRIES TO LIVE BY IT! THE REST OF YOU DEVIL'S & DEMONS WILL BURN AN ETERNITY IN HELL! STOP CRYING GAYS YOU ALL ARE THE ONES THAT CHOSE TO BE WHO YOU ARE NO ONE HELD A GUN TO YOUR HEAD & DEMANDED THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BE GAY! THE TRUTH HAS SPOKEN..& YEA THE TRUTH HURTS!!!
People wonder why I have such disdain for organized religion. Well - watch this clip again and you will know why. These are supposed to be Christians??? ****ing *******s is what they are. Nice way to raise your kids. Makes me ashamed to be from Indiana.
that is just awful..what is wrong with people
And they call themselves "Christians" , but love and tolerance have no place in their churches. Hate rules! So do they plan to start lynching gays? Going out and hanging them from the nearest tree and saying "The Lord told us to do it?" They should be ashamed of themselves; they are not Christians.
Do people hate gays, or do people hate the idea of gay folks pushing gaydom down our throats and demanding that gaydom be accepted as mainstream?
Shows how it's religious nuts who recruit and brainwash children.
What's sad is the fact that this CHILD will be walking around spewing hatred that has been taught to him in the CHURCH. I will be sure to stay away from Greensburg Indiana because if that is how they are towards gay people, I could only imagine what other kind of racist hatred they believe in.
This isn't a church - it's a meeting of potential KKK's.
For all those who believe in the Bible, who believe homosexuality is wrong - all power to you for being religious and having faith in something. However, not everyone believes that way. When 10% of the country's rights are at stake, thats where the line is drawn. A country cannot be ruled based on a religious book - look at Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. Is that how you want America to be?

*Officials assessing storm damage across Shenandoah County
By Preston Knight -- email@example.com
MT. JACKSON -- National Weather Service officials were inspecting damage in southern Shenandoah County Thursday morning, where an apparent tornado touched down hours earlier and caused severe damage.
The worst damage appears to be in a neighborhood called Shenandoah Ski and Hunt subdivision and on a large farm on Kelly Road owned by 82-year-old Donal Shamburg.
Six homes sustained major damage and 10 sustained minor damage, mostly from fallen trees, in the subdivision, according to John Collins, public information officer for the Shenandoah Fire and Rescue Department.
One injury was reported in the county, but Collins could not identify the victim and had no details about the injuries.
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management was conducting a fly-over of the area late Thursday morning to inspect the damage.
Emergency officials set up a command post at Mt. Hermon United Methodist Church at 3821 Orkney Grade Road, where operations were being coordinated.
Charlie Kibler, 54, Shamburg's son-in-law said he was awed by the severity of the damage on the farm.
"You see it on TV but you don't know how bad it is until you look at it," Kibler said.
In the Edinburg area, meanwhile, Water Street was living up to its name. The road was closed at the north end near Walnut Street, with water flowing over it and into a muddy and swollen Stoney Creek.
The Palmyra Road bridge over Stoney Creek was closed with some water lapping over top of it.
Debris, mostly tree limbs, was stopped up at the bridge's east side, with a log bobbing against the concrete bridge. The creek was flowing fast and wide near the campground and along the part of the creek running beside Stoney Creek Road.
Parts of South Ox Road saw fields on either side turned into wetlands with standing water.
Minor damage was reported to homes and businesses across the county.
In Strasburg, the roof of the Borden Lumber Company was damaged, and at least one home on Ridge Hollow Road in Edinburg sustained damage from a fallen tree.
Earlier Thursday, a local emergency was declared in the county due to the severe storms, according to Mary T. Price, assistant county administrator.
Price said in a press release this morning that there were reports of tornadoes in Mt. Jackson, Edinburg, Basye and Conicville, though not all reports have been confirmed.
"There is significant damage in the Basye area due to a tornado," according to the press release. "Four poultry houses have been destroyed."
At one point, 3,947 county residents were without power. About 600 customers were still without power in the early afternoon, according to a news release from Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative.
Shenandoah County Public Schools are closed today and motorists are advised to travel with care due to downed tree limbs and water on the roads. Many roads are closed.
Roads closed due to debris include:

I have one question for Shentel....during the tornado warnings (as alerted by WHSV) we have had in the last couple of days involving Shenandoah Co and especially early this morning with Basye, Edinburg, and Woodstock being hardest hit, why, why WHY did they NOT issue the emergency broadcast they test all the time??? Had it not been for my son coming downstairs the other evening after watching WHSV to tell us of the tornado warning in our area, my family would never had known it!
I thought it a bit weird that I hadn't seen Shentel's emergency broadcast with the tornado warning so I channel surfed and not one time did I see Shentel issue this warning! What is up with that?? Just how much of an emergency do you need before you issue that emergency broadcast? Thank God there were no fatalities because of these horrific storms of late or Shentel would be answering a lot tougher questions about now.
You need to get that emergency broadcast system up and running NOW!!! No excuse to have it and not use it other than all the testing you do!!
I agree bc what is our taxes being used for then bc we do have extra taxes added onto our bills...
Thanks for the advice! I will probably have to contact FCC because I even contacted Shentel via email (under "complaints" on their website) to ask why they never issued an emergency broadcast when we had 2 days in a row that we had tornado warnings in our area NOR the day before those 2 warnings to warn of the severe thunderstorm) and believe it or not.....they never responded! Imagine that!!
Hope you are reading this Shentel because all you had to do was respond!! It's really just that simple!

There's always a slight hint of doubt when you see a TV character's fictional apartment, even if the place is a borderline dump. If it's on TV, it just doesn't seem like it could possibly be true.
Padmapper took a look at five New York apartments—the places the characters live in Mad Men, Friends, Seinfeld, Sex and the City, and 30 Rock.
Gizmodo Is Back on Gizmodo.com!
By Harry Sawyers
After spending the better part of last week rescuing our servers from the storm, Gawker Media's tech team has restored gizmodo.com to its former glory. Thanks guys!
And thank all of you for reading our Tumblr over the past week. It's been fun. The posts have migrated back to the main site, with the discussions open—so feel free to let loose with the witty, incisive reactions you've been holding back. We missed you.
Also, we're keeping updates.gizmodo.com online—we love Tumblr, we appreciate the community, and we're not going to stop posting on this site. We plan run some stories that feel a little different than your regularly scheduled gizmodo.com programming. So stick around!

One of the biggest commercial flops of the late 1980s also happens to be one of the most wonderfully imaginative, whimsical, and downright silly movies of the last several decades. Not that you'd expect any less from Terry Gilliam, especially when he was in his prime.
I hadn't thought much about Dinosaur Jr. since the mid-90s. Why would I have? They broke up in 1997, and got back together without much fanfare in 2005. But the group's latest album, and particularly this lead track, hits me with a jolt. It belongs in 2012, but feels like 1994. It's a thread strung through a wormhole, a reminder that even as you get older (and older), you haven't changed as dramatically as you might think. And neither has the world around you.

Maybe We Wouldn't Pirate Music If There Were Anywhere Else to Hear It
By Brian Barrett
It may not be totally fair to blame piracy's ascension on MTV's decline. But you know what? Neither was sending Snooki to the Vatican.
Amazon Really Does Lose Money on Every Kindle Fire HD (But Microsoft, Not So Much)
By Brian Barrett
Fresh on the heels of an iPad mini teardown that revealed $188 worth of components, IHS has pegged the Kindle Fire HD bill of materials at $165. That means that only about 20 bucks' worth of hardware separates devices with $130 price tag differential. Yeesh.
Copyright-Infringing Tweets Will Now Be "Withdrawn" Instead of "Disappeared Forever"
By Brian Barrett
Twitter received 4,410 DMCA takedown notices last year alone. But while previously a successful claim would lead to a tweet being vanished under dark of night, from here on out it will be replaced by a notice that it's being withheld.

Sure, you watched the Microsoft Build conference keynote last week. Why not? It had a comprehensive Windows 8 overview, Ballmer being Ballmer, some jaunty pre-show music. You know, typical keynote stuff. But if that didn't satisfy your Windows 8 itch, well, here's your chance to scratch it raw.
Hackers Replace NBC Sites With Smörgåsbord of Hacker Cliches (Updated)
By Brian Barrett
Those in search of SNL and 30 Rock clips over at NBC's videos page have been met with something quite different: a hacked page of weirdness with a surprisingly catchy soundtrack. It's most prominent website hack we've seen in a while, and also one of the least coherent.

We haven't checked in on The Onion's brutal TED Talk parody series, but now's as good a time as any to get caught up. Above is the most recent, a breakdown of farm animal noises with rapidly escalating pretension. And below? Maybe the purest distillation of TED yet.
Sandy-Soaked New Jerseyans Will Be Able to Vote by Email
By Brian Barrett
Rather than let a hurricane disenfranchise thousands of displaced New Jersey residents, Governor Chris Christie has given a green-light for voting by email or fax. Are the security concerns? Sure. But if you're going to pilot a e-voting program, at least it's in a situation that has no other choice, and that isn't really in contention anyway.

The first argument you hear against posting political views on social media is that you'll only end up alienating your [OTHER PARTY] friends, or crowding the echo chamber your [SAME PARTY] friends have been smugly simmering in for months. But there's something else you should seriously consider: you don't have any idea what you're talking about.
The iPad Mini Costs $141 More Than Its Components Add Up To
By Brian Barrett
According to a teardown by IHS, renowned estimator of how much companies actually pay for components, Apple's iPad Mini carries a $188 cost of materials. You know how Google and Amazon are just barely breaking even on their tiny tablets? This is the opposite of that.
Apple Hides Its Latest Samsung Apology With Some Clever Code
By Brian Barrett
The saga of Apple's court-enforced public apology to Samsung continues. The first, newspaper-printed mea culpa read as too tongue-in-cheek for the judge's liking. Now it turns out that the follow-up, a condensed contrition on the Apple Store's UK home page, has come with a few caveats as well. Namely, that you have to go hunting for it.
Don't Forget To Set Back That One Non-Internet Clock You Inevitably Still Have Hanging Around
By Eric Limer
Tonight's the night we do that Daylight Savings Time thing again, so here's a reminder to find that one dumb-clock you still have in your house and set it back an hour. Unlike almost everything else you look at the time on, remember that the good old-fashioned analogue clock above your stove or the one in the bathroom, or the digital one on your microwave is not smart enough to adjust on its own. Yes, you still have to do some things yourself around here.
By Eric Limer
I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but they were sort of right, in an extremely dangerous way. These clowns decided that maybe they should light their bonfire with a home-made bazooka that fires fireworks, and thankfully they caught it on camera for the rest of us. Don't try this at home, folks. Unless you're into super stupid things that are also kind of awesome but still mostly stupid and dangerous, though awesomely so. [Reddit]

Speaking of Bill Shatner, a fantastic soundtrack for this evening (or any evening) is the his hit single* "I Can't Get Behind That" of his 2004 album Has Been.

Surely you are well-acquinted with Mr. William Shatner's fantastic spoken-word work. If you aren't, you should be. If that's your jam—and it should be—the new Shatoetry app will let you create some of your own, using the Cap'n Kirk's iconic voice.

If you're trying to turn a propane nozzle into an actual rocket engine, chances are you are going to run into more than a few problems. If you're trying to use it as a practical effect, on the other hand, to make something that looks like a convincing rocket thruster, you're barking up the right tree.
This Website Can Help People Find Power, But Only With Some Help From You
By Eric Limer
Power is slowly flowing back into lower Manhattan, but there are plenty of areas still affected by the wreckage of Sandy's rage, and plenty of people who don't have power. Fortunately, there's a site that can help them out, but it also needs a little help from you.
This Interactive 360-Degree Video Is the Closest You'll Ever Come to Driving an F1 Racer

This Is Why You Should Backup Your Own Data, Especially the Nudes
By Eric Limer
When it comes to something like transfering your data from your old phone to your new phone, sometimes it's just better to learn how to do it yourself. Why? Your carrier can sometimes do it for you at the store, but it takes a while, sometimes they'll charge you, and they might also steal the nude photos you left on there.
Get the Most Out of Your Generator by Hooking It To a UPS
By Eric Limer
When the power goes out, you want a backup plan. Plenty of us have learned that over the past week or so. Having a generator on hand can definitely help ease the pain of a prolonged power outage, but it's not quite the same has just having normal, interrupted power. You can make it a little closer to the norm, however, by hooking up an uninterruptable power supply.
By Eric Limer
Manhattan's lower east side had the pleasure of finally getting its power back yesterday, after about a week of going without. As you can imagine, people were pretty stoked. This passerby caught some footage of the celebration. The whole scene is positively jubilant. Enjoy. [Reddit]
This Sea-Worthy Robot Sailor Surfed Straight Through Sandy
By Eric Limer
Hurricane Sandy caused a lot of damage, and it's going to take a long time to get everything fixed back up. Not everything succumbed to Sandy's destructive force, however. This little surfing robot, for example, survived on the high seas despite the storm, never failing to do its duty all the while.

Do you carry a pocket knife? Does anyone anymore? They can be helpful if you need to open a stubborn package or if you need something for the TSA to take from you at the airport. But though they're sometimes useful, they aren't particular fearsome. At least, until Joerg Sprave makes one.
Hard-to-Read Fonts Will Make You Less of a Biased Jerk

It's generally not a good thing to be biased.

Lucky for you, hard-to-read fonts are here to the rescue, and might be able to save you from opinionated ranting.
Apple Posts Its Apology To Samsung, But For Real This Time
By Eric Limer
After trying to be snarky and biting with its court ordered apology to Samsung, and being reprimanded by the UK court and told to fix it, Apple has now put a second, simple, much less back-handledly "Samsung's dumb and we're the coolest" apology on their UK webpage. Hopefully this will be the end of it.
This Week's Top Web Comedy Video: Romney Pours a Glass of Water

Confirmed: Fleshlight Is STILL Developing an iPad Case You Can Have Sex With (NSFW)
By Kyle Wagner
You were getting worried, weren't you. It's been the better part of a year since we confirmed that the iPad sex toy case was going to (probably) be a real thing. I was worried. So we checked in with Fleshlight, who told us, Yes!—This is still going to be a thing!
A Fleshlight spokesman told us, "We are developing the iPad attachment. Beyond that, we cannot comment." Mystery!
If anyone has any information, or spy shots from Fleshbot's supply chain, email us at email@example.com.
Most Of Your Hurricane Sandy Knowledge Is Coming From A Man Who Doesn't Believe In Global Warming
By Ashley Feinberg
If it's not already, the Wikipedia page on Hurricane Sandy will become the most widely viewed internet resource on the storm. And as PopSci discovered, it's being largely controlled by a 56-year-old, unemployed Floridian who doesn't believe in rising global temperatures.
What Are You Doing Once Your Electricity Is Back?
Americans all over the East Coast (or at least between a few states of it) are without power, slowly losing sanity and hygiene. Who will charge their phones? What did light bulbs look like?
