The most salient feature of the reaction to my Standpoint article was the heavy artillery deployed to discredit it. The attackers had a difficult task because, as the Toepfer Foundation was obliged to admit to the university in June 2010, "the facts as presented by Dr Pinto-Duschinsky should and will not be disputed."
There were two parallel sets of responses. The one consisted of misleading statements and private threats, the other of critical publications and rebuttals.
At the level of misleading statements, the Toepfer Foundation posted a statement on its website that "it is [...] to be regretted that the respective editors have withdrawn a publication of his academic article previously announced with the DeGruyter publishers." The article in question was a slightly shortened German language version of the Standpoint piece together with detailed sources and notes. The implication was that the article had been unworthy of publication and that the editors of the projected volume, Dr Michael Fahlbusch and Dr Ingo Haar, had rejected it. In fact, they had merely moved to another German publishing house, Ferdinand Schoeningh. The Toepfer Foundation has continued to include the above statement on its website at the time of Standpoint going to print even though the Fahlbusch/Haar book appeared in September 2010 with my contribution included.
The foundation's stated regrets about the alleged non-publication of the German- language version need to be seen against the background of its private approach to Ferdinand Schoeningh Verlag in June 2010 with warnings about the Standpoint article, the purpose of which may be seen as an effort to dissuade the publishing house from including it in the Fahlbusch/Haar volume.
A few weeks later, the same publisher reported that he had received verbal threats from an academic associated with the foundation: he would take legal action if it published a translated version of my article and the firm would be ruined. Whether the scholar was acting on his own initiative is unclear. When his protests proved unproductive, a second academic wrote to one of the editors of the volume, Dr Ingo Haar, objecting to the inclusion of my offending piece. The senior German historian who wrote to Haar had a leading position in a German research group financed by a major funding body, the DFG, from which Haar was in receipt of a grant. The historian raised "the question — which concerns me personally — whether you want to include in the volume a contribution of Pinto-Duschinsky". In part, his concern was technical. My Standpoint article did not fall within the remit of the research group and had not been delivered at a conference for which funding had been assigned. The historian in charge of the DFG funding protested too about the content of what I had written in Standpoint.

Security Basics

An added layer of security never hurt anyone. Having that said, you must
question whether you trust the proxy provider because they will have a
comprehensive record of the sites you are visiting. Whereas if you do
not use any proxy, only your ISP will have access to such information.
Anonymous might simply mean that they won't disclose information they
collect about you- a scary prospect considering current legislation. You
may want to find proxies in countries with/without certain laws...
You must ask yourself what exactly it is you wish to protect, and who
you wish to protect this information from before you can start to
consider potential solutions.
To address your question directly:
If you trust the proxy's host, and are sure that the proxy does not leak
your IP address (you can check it with proxyjudge scripts- google.) Then
you may consider using the proxy. I think SSL wrapping is not as
important as making sure the proxy is trusted and doesnt leak your
Also I think it is a good idea to refrain from using such a system
except when absolutely essential. How difficult it is for someone to
intercept your digital communication depends on your computing
practises. your data is more likely to be compromised in a hostile
environment (say, while wardriving). If you are at home with no other
users on your local network and you trust your ISP, trust that your ISP
has not been compromised, and trust that your machine is also secure,
then you can assume yourself to be reasonably safe from data
Breaking encryption is not something that can be realistically measured
in time.. What might take hundreds of hours of dedicated computing time
on a supercomputer today might take a few minutes on a home PC if a new
weakness is discovered. Known attacks to modern crypto systems generally
require cpu power unfeasible to most individuals. To address your
concerns directly, I would be more worried about keyloggers/trojans/etc
then of people sniffing and breaking your encrypted communication.
Hope this helped.

1) Is it just plain stupid to use the "free" Anonymous proxy servers that we

[Listen] Indians - "Magic Kids"
Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 7:05PM
Differing from the rather upbeat pop of their Scandinavian contemporaries, Copenhagen-based solo artist Indians has honed a beautifully melancholic dreamscape with his brand new 7" single "Magic Kids." The song is a jittering journey through a collection of ambient chimes, encapsulating wave synths and despondent vocals that croon saddening words: "There are lights in your eyes, but your eyes don't see anymore." It's clear that he has found a sound and style that work fantastically well for him, so while we wait for their next offering to arrive, "Magic Kids" will serve as a teaser for the great potential they carry.

I am in over my head,
but where did I lose
sugar-coated sweets
you said?
If I tell you a fascination
of mine, a fantasy;
will it be, 'I can't see."
I am in over my head,
but where did I miss
better things left
It was than that I realized
how many hills we left
upturned, roots shot into
the sky, and anyone could
have seen the ugly in it all.
A lot of things aren't a same
pattern anymore, and each
day that passes I stroll
to gaze at what unfamiliar
took form as-
I began to enjoy a little less.
There are years where black
and blue was all you felt,
the heat of a palm as it pressed
welts to replace any comfort
of a lie; you lay until one can
never be tired no more.
It was not discomfort that
took shape of you, only
the effort to root a pair so
tragically; that it could
have only been beautiful.
I imagined how it felt to be alive
this morning.
It was wedged in a car-ride with
a stranger, swirled in smoke
minutes just before take-off.
I imagined how it felt to let each
single muscle relax until pudding
became of my vertebrae.
It felt good, yet my chest is tight,
but I'd let you become my vice.
I imagined what being alive felt
like beginning in the morning
I have seen through you,
and we are past lovers in
arms of bandaged pride.
Scar tissue trails over,
with the damages left-
Over and under the years.
I could no longer see,
Trace the hues of living,
or even, feel your talk
against my skin.
I had been capable of
love after loss, but
have I became lost?
I felt alone,
but I am mistaken
as neurotic.
When still,
you were here,
or there;
I was, and still,
felt alone.
You were always
there, so will
you be the wrong?
There is where we were thrown
altogether to be worn, Gepetto,
and each other body danced
warm in the socks when I was
You and
your rhyme.
There are empty promises
I try and keep because
without them, I'm yours.
Teach me where the heart
halves until one aches;
mitosis was your novelty,
and I learn too quick.
Every experience spurts
some truth, or growth,
even as you've crumbled,
they are yours;
This knowledge.
My heart is heaviest after
the river that follows rainfall,
and the coffee on your t-shirt;
I can scrub that clean.
I pick as you jab, and both
of us know: two wrongs don't
make a right, so we
throw arms to call it a night.
You didn't leave a note
that morning.
My heart is heaviest because
the rain never came back;
the river dried.

The Miami Heat need to win Game 5 of the NBA Finals or they'll be eliminated from the postseason and their run at history will be over. That's something we thought we'd be saying but it's the reality of the situation that Miami Heat find themselves in as we enter Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Despite everything the Heat have done, they can't seem to stop the San Antonio Spurs and it's something that LeBron James is beyond frustrated about.
LeBron: "We've watched film where we've been on top of exactly what they're doing, and they still made shots."
— Brett Pollakoff (@BrettEP) June 14, 2014
Something that may help the Heat is having Udonis Haslem back in the lineup as he was the only player who seemed capable of being able to stop Tim Duncan. He may not play, but there's a good chance that Haslem will be in the game at some point, even if it's limited minutes.
Asked about using Haslem more in Game 5, Spoelstra, "Possibly. He's on my mind. These are the types of games where he's proven himself."

In my opinion I would avoid most of Queensland as an educator or anything to do with academia. Cairns is the only place I would ever visit because it has an international scene. Besides, Queenslanders are very particular about who they hire. If you don't have an English or Anglo-Saxon surname they don't appreciate you. That is expressing it mildly. People in QLD appear to have prejudices against non-Anglo Saxons. That is my experience. I guess if you are an extreme bigot, bordering the racist category you will adapt to the QLD mindset.

Cairns is the only place in QLD with a sense of internationalism where I would work. And I do not take it lightly that Anglo-Saxons in Brisbane or anywhere else in Australia have learnt their lessons from varying strokes for different folks. Back in 2006 I was undertaking my teaching practicum in Australia, in a government regulated, funded teaching centre. About that time the Tsunami had wiped out the coast of greater Thailand. My Anglo-Saxon teacher mentor made a tacit comment that more Thais should have drowned in the Tsunami. I could not comment then, partly from slight shock and also because I was undergoing training, that meant keeping my mouth shut and listening to guidance. To this day I will never forget that tacit comment. 'More Thais should have been wiped out from the Tsunami?' I would react differently and possibly reproach a fellow teacher for making a comment like that if they were my colleague. The point is this. Many Australian Anglo-Saxons are still closet racists. It gave me a prime motive for not associating with many of them in my city. They still treat immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers like criminals. Interestingly we built this country. And many of us outsiders are highly educated and more intelligent than Anglo-Saxons. By nature we are more intelligent because we are bilingual, in some cases like I, trilingual. Yet intelligence in Australia is scorned upon and poppies like I are cut down. Anglo-Saxons speak English, that is all, that does not mean they are more intelligent. Where does that stupid theory come from? Certainly not Krashen, he would endorse the theory that polyglots have better critical thinking and solving skills. Without diverting further. No. Brisbane, Calloundra and Red Neck Gold coast suck. There is no other way. They are mostly racist and I accept and will adhere to my obstinate opinion.

There might also be bridging/preparation programs at the 3 Brisbane universities for incoming international students who want/need to do an English course before starting their degree.

I thought blanket stereotyping was an indication of racism. Rather like the comments from the Anglo-Saxon you mentioned. Perhaps you need to look at yourself.[/quote] So reverse racism hurts? Then perhaps you may like to take a trip through history and note how racism has affected immigrants and ethnic Australian Aboriginals. I am guessing you know something of the racism experienced by Aboriginals in Australia past and present. Then again you could well be one of those Anglo-Saxon Australians that denies discrimination and racism is inactive. Racism is very active in Australian society, especially so among the white collar community in all spheres of the professional world. Anglo-Saxons are good at masquerading it, and it is in your duplicitous manner, however, that it becomes obvious through simple actions like denying any man or woman, with a non-Anglo surname the right to equality in certain professions. I have experienced it. So as a result of myself having a non pronounceable surname, you lot assume I can not read, write or express myself in English. That is a common and prevalent paradigm. How much I would like to make public a name of a teacher mentor that made a racist comment about Thai people, when the tsunami hit their peninsular in 2006. She said all Thais should have been wiped out, yes she is Anglo-Saxon, and she has never been to a non-English speaking country, ever. I know why she became an ESL teacher, to experience foods from different cultures. What do I mean? Working in ESL one is exposed to different customs and food habits among many other matters. But like the typical Anglo, she would say, very quietly may I add: 'I love my job, I get to teach 'GOOKS' English and try their foods when it is the customary or religious time of celebrating festivals'. Dave Sperling would have a few kind words to say to her, his wife is Thai. Would you like me to tell you who it is in a PM Dave? I will give you her contact details too....

The theater's web site is:
The programming is primarily double features of classic Hollywood and foreign films, with a different program each weekday day. Occasionally, this schedule is interrupted by a week-long first-run film.
The theatre no longer has concerts, but a local bookstore occasionally hosts lectures by authors here.
During the fifties and sixties, and especially during the summer months, the Brattle was the venue that helped propel "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca" to the top of the best films of all time. The bar downstairs was named after "Casablanca".

"There's boulders as big as the Entrance Booth bouncing down the creekbed in a river of mud!"
That is what a visitor reported to Ranger Jenni Whitney at the Nisqually Entrance Station late Sunday afternoon October 26, 1986. After one of the driest Octobers on record, almost five inches of rain had fallen in two days contributing to a "jokulhlaup" (jo ka loip) on the South Tahoma Glacier.
A jokulhlaup is an Icelandic term for a glacier outburst flood. Outburst floods occur when there is a sudden change in the pluming or internal conduit system of a glacier. The interior of the glacier contains pockets which normally store water. If there is a sudden influx of water from melt or rain, a large amount of water will burst out from the snout or other weak point in the glacier. Often part of the glacier will collapse and chunks of ice are released with the water. These waters usually pick up large amounts of alluvial and glacier deposits which quickly turn them into mudflows or "lahars" (lahars are mudflows that occur on the slopes of a volcano).
The October 26 lahar covered half of the Tahoma Creek trailhead parking area with six inches to over one foot of mud and debris. Up to 10% of the material deposited from the outburst flood was glacial ice or frozen morainal material. The large volume of material that flowed through the area is evident from mud lines 12 feet high on trees and boulders up to 10 feet in diameter randomly deposited far from the creekbed. The creek itself was diverted into a new channel by a log jam which forced the water to cut through a section of old growth forest before joining its former channel 1.5 miles downstream.
But did those boulders really bounce? That is possible because the lahars have a consistency of wet cement and are referred to as viscus flows. The specific gravity cf the boulders was approximately equal to the specific gravity of the viscus flow allowing the giant boulders to roll and tumble on top of the slurry.
Was this an isolated event? Not at all on a glacially active mountain like Mt. Rainier. There used to be a campground at the Tahoma Creek Trailhead until a jokulhlaup from the South Tahoma Glacier closed it on August 31, 1967. In the park's 87-year history, there have been over a dozen witnessed outburst floods resulting in both large and small mudflows. Who knows how many unrecorded ones have occurred on a mountain with 26 glaciers and about 1 cubic mile of ice? With a rate of one debris flow every 3-10 years, we can be sure that jokulhlaups and lahars will continue their surprise appearances on the slopes of Mt. Rainier.

Guy With Vague Intention Of Watching A Couple Of Minutes Of The Glee Rocky Horror Special, Just To Get A Sense Of What They're Up To With This One: (checks channel guide, notices show is almost over) Oh.
[The dog lifts an ear, realizes he's not being addressed, and returns to his chew toy. The guy does not watch any Glee.]
[Production note: Like Mad Men itself, the Power Rankings have not yet been officially renewed for another season, so we — again like Mad Men itself — will do our best to leave these in a place that will drive a large portion of our audience frothing-at-the-mouth insane with disappointment and frustration. Last week's Power Rankings can be found here.]
For this Special Finale Edition, we've asked each ranked individual to write a note to him- or herself to read at the start of next season. Amazingly, each character agreed!
1. Don Draper (even) Last week: 1
"Dear Next Season Don:
Wow, that was a crazy season we just endured, don't you think? We lost dear, sweet Anna, the only person whom I allowed to truly know me, a kind of repayment for the that regrettable identity theft business.
Woman Not Following The Playoffs Closely: (shrugging) It's just a game.

1. Don Draper (even) Last week: 1
On page A24 of the New York Times sometime in 1964*, the following advertisement appeared:
[Production note: No one reads these things. Accordingly, your production note editor will instead slink home and open the giant box of self-published production note memoirs that's waiting there, thinking about what he doesn't have instead of what he does. (A box full of ridiculous books.) Last week's rankings can be found here.]
1. Don Draper (even) Last week: 1
Don Draper, inwardly terrified that his new firm is about to implode, but outwardly the same image of lantern-jawed stoicism we've come to know and be repeatedly seduced by, addresses the Sterling Cooper Draper Price "nearest and dearest" meeting:
Guy in thick-framed glasses: Let's spend the entire concert chatting, even though there's almost no conceivable way we can actually hear each other, OK?
Girl in thick-framed glasses: (shouting) And I'll keep my back to the band the whole time!
Guy in thick-framed glasses: (shouting louder) We really get each other! I love that about us!
(They continue to talk through the entire concert.)
Trader Joe's Cashier: So, did you find everything you were looking for today?
Middle-Aged Female Customer: NO!
(I'm not sure how the scene ends, because I left in a hurry, before the stabbing commenced.)
• The detectives each week will be Skeet Ulrich as straight-forward ex-Marine Rex Winters and Corey Stoll as wisecracking Hollywood-phile TJ Jarusalski.
• On the legal side of things, the show will rotate prosecutors, in the same way "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" split time between two detective teams for many years. First up is Alfred Molina as the politically-savvy Ricardo Morales, alternating with Terence Howard's more heart-on-sleeve Joe Dekker."—
NBC really should've paid for the upgrade to Primetime Television Cop & Lawyer Name Generator Pro.
[Production notes: None. Oh, wait—should we mention we wore a billowy pink maternity gown while writing this? We did. There were also frilly bobby-socks, to distract from the water retention in our ankles. Just something to keep in mind as you read, no big deal.]

Short story about hope and rescue for all fans of Doctor Who
By me and Lisa - http://lisashine.tumblr.com/
So, we hope you will enjoy. :)
The Sound of Hope.
On a warm January morning, Joel Gonzalez kissed his wife goodbye. Joel is a fisherman, and he was going on a short fishing trip. «I'll see you in a week,» he said. But Joel didn't see his wife in a week. He didn't see his wife again for a along, long time. Joel left his house and went to the harbour in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. He got on a fishing boat. Four other fisherman were on the boat, too. The boat left the harbour, and the men began to fish. The first few hours on the ocean were not unusual. Then there was a terrible storm. The storm lasted for 22 days. When the storm finally stopped, the men checked their boat. Their fishing nets were gone. The engine and the radio didn't work. There was no food, and there was no fresh water. For the next few hours, the men talked and planed. «How can we survive in the ocean?» they asked one another. Without their nets, the men couldn't fish. But they could reach out of the boat and catch big turtles. The men didn't want to eat raw turtles meat, so needed a fire for cooking. The tore down the boat's wood cabin and made a fire with the wood. The needed protection from the sun and rain, so they built the simple roof. The roof held the rainwater, too. The men could drink rainwater from the roof. For the next five months, the men ate turtles — when they caught them. They drank rainwater — when it rained. Often there was no food and no water, and the men were hungry and thirsty. Sometimes they thought, «We are going to die soon.» Joel wrote a letter to his wife. «My dear Edith,» Joel wrote. «If i die i hope someone will send you this letter. Then you will know how i died. I had the best in life — a great woman and beautiful children. I love you, Edith. I love you.» In June it didn't rain for a long time, and the men ran out of water. They where thin and weak, and they thought, «We are going to die now.» They lay down and closed their eyes. Joel despaired and was willing to die, but a few seconds later he heard a strange noise near by. He stood up, turned around and saw a huge blue English Box which came out of nowhere. The man looked out from it. He was holding a fez and was waving it to welcome fisherman. Joel couldn't believe his eyes! The gentleman came out of his booth on the shore and came to the fisherman who had lost hope to survive. The gentleman said «Hello Joel. Once we had met. Do you remember me?» Fisherman gasped and then exclaimed «Doctor! My dear Doctor!»
A man who was standing near Joel amazingly asked «Doctor? Doctor who?». A gentleman looked at the man and smiled mysteriously. Then he said to Joel «My old friend, do you remember what i told you once? «Remember this sound, which emits the Tardis because this sound brings hope where you wouldn't be»

|MLER > SEC Filings for MLER > Form 10-K on 15-Oct-2013
|All Recent SEC Filings
Annual Report
Year Ended June 30, 2013
Moller International continues its research and development activities on the Skycar project primarily in the area of its flight control system (FCS) and the performance advantages of introducing a hybrid approach to generating the high power required to take off and land. These efforts are an extension of successful flights throughout the previous years and extensive ongoing engine tests, which we believe, will result in incremental improvements to the existing prototype, future prototypes and/or production aircraft, should we continue to operate. Staffing levels declined as the company continues to cut labor costs in an effort to conserve available operating funds. Management was successful in keeping administrative salaries and wages below last year's level. Seeking additional funding remains a top priority for the company. The Company continues with its initial stages of low-volume production for a variation of its M200X that would allow it to operate without a pilot's license and a rescue version capable of extracting three people at a time from the side of a skyscraper. Although there is no assurance that this vehicle will meet with success in the market place, the Company is actively seeking support for the program and, if found, may choose to move more rapidly into the production of these vehicles.
Fiscal 2013 compared to 2012
Results of operations for the 2013 fiscal year varied from 2012. We incurred net losses of $1,876,446 and $1,731,785 in fiscal 2013 and 2012 respectively.
Loss per share was ($0.04) and ($0.04) for the 2013 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively. We are currently conserving our cash by deferring many of our operating expenses including the deferral of certain executive salaries at an annual rate of $250,000, the deferral of building rent of $496,800 per year and the recognition of compensation expense related to the fair market value of stock issued for services and stock options granted to our employees and consultants of $21,087 and $123,573 in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Our total expenses decreased to $1,027,678 in 2013 from $1,089,086 in 2012. The decrease relates in large part to a decrease in compensation costs. With the company continuing to conserve cash on hand, the company has decreased full-time staff and have reduced the hours worked for some part-time employees.
Going Concern
We have incurred net losses $1,876,446 and $1,731,785 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2013, we have an accumulated deficit of $52,482,247 and a working capital deficit of $13,377,038. Furthermore, MI is currently in the development stage of the Skycar and Rotapower engine programs, and has no revenue producing products. Successful completion of product development activities for either or both of these programs will require significant additional sources of capital. Historically, funding was provided by certain creditors and shareholders, including the majority shareholder, in the form of short-term notes payable. In addition, the majority shareholder granted us a deferral on the payment of rent for our building. There is no assurance that we will continue to receive funding from shareholders, particularly our major shareholder given he has filed for protection under the federal Chapter 11 reorganization provisions of the federal bankruptcy law. Consequently, we are evaluating several alternatives to raise the additional capital through debt or equity transactions. There is no guarantee that our efforts will be successful, however, and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management is currently pursuing additional sources of capital in quantities sufficient to fund product development and manufacturing and sales activities.
Historically, certain shareholders, including the majority shareholder provided funding in the form of short-term notes payable. In addition, the majority shareholder granted us a deferral on the payment of rent for our building. There is no assurance that we will continue to receive funding from shareholders, particularly our major shareholder given he recently filed for protection under the federal Chapter 11 reorganization provisions. Consequently, we are evaluating several alternatives to raise the additional capital through debt or equity transactions. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Historically, the majority shareholder of MI is providing funds received from the refinance of both real property owned by him personally and real property owned by a limited partnership of which he is the general partner, in the form of short-term, interest-bearing demand loans to MI. Due to Dr. Moller Chapter 11 filing, short-term loan terms may require the approval of the bankruptcy court. As of June 30, 2013, a total of $2,476,382 is outstanding to Dr. Moller from these transactions. In addition, he has deferred payment of current year building rent owed by MI of approximately $496,800. The total deferred rent owing to Dr. Moller at June 30, 2013 is $3,494,390. As of June 30, 2013 MI owed Dr. Moller $1,073,080 and $778,123, respectively, in deferred salaries and accrued interest on those salaries.
There can be no assurance that this majority shareholder will continue to have the ability to continue to make such short-term loans to MI in the future. Dr. Moller is under no legal obligation to provide additional loans to the company. In the event that he cannot continue to make such loans, or that MI does not receive funds from other sources, MI may be unable to continue to operate as a going concern. The impact of Dr. Moller's filing for protection under Chapter 11 reorganization provisions may also adversely affect his ability to provide loans to the Company.
There is no assurance that the funds generated from these activities or other sources will be sufficient to provide MI with the capital needed to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue based on the four principles established in GAAP. Those principles state that revenue generally is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
2. Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
3. The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and,
4. Collectability is reasonably assured.
Billings generated from our former subsidiary, Freedom Motors, under the 1998 Technology Development and License Agreement is only recognized to the extent amounts are collected due to collectability concerns. Amounts recognized related to this agreement are treated as a reduction of operating expense and are not shown as revenue.
Stock Based Compensation
MI recognizes stock based compensation issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the guidance on share-based payments which require measurement of all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the requisite service period, usually the vesting period, using the straight-line method. MI estimates the fair market value of the awards issued to employees using a Black Scholes pricing model. The model is based on assumptions including (1) exercise price of $0.085; (2) volatility of its common stock of 212.85% (3) discount rate of 0.63% and (4) expected dividend of zero. Share issued for services are valued using the closing price of the common stock at the dates the services were provided or at grant date when the shares are fully vested and non-forfeitable. As a result of these assumptions, MI recognized total stock based compensation of $21,087 and $136,573 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Intangible Asset and Impairment
Costs to develop and perfect patents are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the patent's economic life or legal life. The carrying value of patents is reviewed periodically to determine whether the patents have continuing value. Based on our evaluations of the fair value of our intangible assets related to patents and based on that analysis, we did not record an impairment charge for 2013 or 2012.

So I guess if I can give any advice, I would just say that everything will pass, and it'll feel like it was a big deal over nothing.

Mary, the Mother of God
Sermon shared by Richard Futrell
December 2010
Summary: Elizabeth is Mary�s older relative, yet she considers it an honor that Mary should visit her. She even calls Mary �the mother of my Lord.� And so the Church has called Mary �Theotokos,� which means the bearer of God.
Scripture: Luke 1:39-1:45 (add scripture)
Tags: Theotokos, Pregnancy, Magnificat, Promises Of God, Mary (add tag)
Denomination: Lutheran
Audience: General adults
Mary is the doorway through whom God entered our world. She is the chosen and honored instrument of Christ�s incarnation, through whom the Son of God received His body that He might offer it for the life of the world. That�s why Mary is blessed among women and even all generations. That�s why, to this day, we are to honor Mary because of what God has brought about through her.
Mary shows us what happens when God�s Word has its way with someone. She was filled with the Spirit and the Word of God. She believed God. She trusted His Word. And from such trust in God�s Word, she said �yes� to God�s plan. She agreed to the impossible task of being the virgin mother of the world�s Savior.
Mary is a picture of God�s grace--that God should love us in such a special way that He would send His Son to be born of such a mother. God humbled Himself even to need a teenaged mother for nourishment and care, to be diapered and bathed by her, even though He is her God and Savior.
Yes, even to this day, we are to honor Mary as one whom God has blessed above all other women. We know she isn�t blessed and holy because of her own holiness or purity. She�s not good enough, just like you and I aren�t good enough. She is blessed because of the holy Child conceived in her by the Holy Spirit. She is our Lord�s instrument of His incarnation. That�s why she is to be blessed by all who believe in her Son for their salvation.
But here�s the best thing about Mary. Her soul magnifies the Lord, and her spirit rejoices in God her Savior. She directs our attention to the same place--to her Child, to her God, to our God! She teaches us to worship God in humility and fear. For as she sang, �His mercy extends to those who fear Him.�
Mary teaches us not to take our place with the proud and the powerful, the ruling and the rich of this world. For the Lord is the one who topples the mighty from their thrones. He puts the powerful in their place.
And yet God is a God of mercy. His arm is mighty to save. His arm lifts those who are humbled and bowed down. God helps those who cannot help themselves. His arm reaches out to fill the hungry with good things. His arm extended from the heights of heaven to a frightened girl named Mary. He reached down to embrace the world, to join Himself with us. He extended His arms on a cross to save us. He extends His arm to us now, as we hear His Word and receive His gifts.
Mary teaches us to receive God�s gifts in the way of faith. She reminds us that God keeps His Word. He remembers �to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as He spoke to our fathers.�
Indeed, God keeps His promises. He kept the promise He made to Adam and Eve after they were expelled from Eden. He kept the promise He made to the patriarchs and prophets of Israel. He kept the promise He made to you when you were baptized. And He renews His promise whenever you hear His Word and receive His forgiveness.
God is faithful. He sent His Son, born of Mary, born under the Law, to suffer and die under the Law. And even more, He rose again and rules, so that through His dying and rising, the world would be blessed with forgiveness, with peace, with eternal life.

Scientists accuse Perry officials of censorship
Perry-appointed officials at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality deleted references to climate change and human impact in a recent scientific report on Galveston Bay.

Republican White House hopeful Rick Perry was under fire Friday after Texas was accused of censorship for deleting references to climate change and sea-level rise from an environmental report.
The conservative Christian Texas governor, who is chasing the Republican nomination for the 2012 elections, has come under increasing scrutiny for his battles with scientists over issues of climate change as well as his thoughts on evolution.
The latest controversy was over the planned third edition of the "State of Galveston Bay," a 200-page report that the state's environmental agency commissioned a Houston research center to complete.
But the scientists who wrote the report have accused the agency of political interference for deleting references to climate change, human impact on the environment and sea-level rise.
"It's censorship," said John Anderson, an oceanographer with Rice University who disclosed this week how state officials gutted his work.
"It's not a scientific review to just 'X' out any sentences on climate warming, human intervention and sea-level rise," Anderson told AFP. "That's not scientific editing. That's censorship."
Anderson said his work didn't break new ground, but was a synopsis of studies he and his students have previously published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Citing one example of the changes, Anderson said the agency deleted a section saying that the level of Galveston Bay -- a large body of water just southeast of the state's largest city, Houston -- has risen 3 millimeters (0.1 inches) annually in recent years, up from 0.5 millimeters historically.
Anderson said it was alarming that officials with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality would alter a document designed to summarize for policymakers the latest scientific findings, which could prevent the state from working to protect Texas's coastal areas.
TCEQ spokeswoman Andrea Morrow said the state environmental agency disagreed with information in the report, but declined to provide details. In a short statement, she said: "It would be irresponsible to take whatever is sent to us and publish it."
Commission officials had tried to "amend the data" because it was "inconsistent with current agency policy" but were turned down, the statement added.
TCEQ is managed by a three commissioners, all of whom were appointed by Perry. TCEQ Chairman Bryan Shaw has been particularly outspoken about his opposition to scientific findings of rising global temperatures and climate change.
Anderson said he sent a letter to a commissioner complaining about censorship, but received no response. He handed reporters a draft document that showed the agency had deleted or altered just about every reference to climate change and the human impact on the environment of Galveston Bay.
All five scientists who worked on the document have asked for their names to be removed, said Jim Lester, vice president of the Houston Advanced Research Center and editor of the report.
"If I went along with scientific censorship my credibility in the scientific community would go down to zero," Lester said. "There will be no scientist's name associated with it. None of the authors will have anything to do with this."
Lester said the document sailed through the initial editing process but then bogged down when TCEQ insisted it also be reviewed by the agency's top management. It was the first time the report had gone through another such review.
"I'm 64 and been a scientist all my life and I've never seen anything like it," said Lester, who argued the process clearly indicated political meddling.
Perry has long courted controversy with scientists, environmentalists and even the federal government over climate change, rising global temperatures and environmental regulations.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has taken over parts of Texas's permitting authority because the state refused to comply with federal demands.
And Texas has filed several lawsuits challenging EPA rules, insisting they are inefficient, don't benefit the environment and harm industry.

Sony Xperia acro S jumps through FCC hoops
Water and dust-proof certified, Sony's Xperia acro S was bound to survive the FCC's prodding and poking. The examination confirms some Euro-centric, but AT&T-friendly, HSPA radio bands and offers up some (oddly squashed) real-word glimpses at a phone that's got already going under two different names. Yep, this 4.3-inch phone's already launched in Japan as the Xperia acro HD, although there's been no word on a release on US shores. Radio test fans can hit up the source for yet more details and some side profile shots.

Cake is bad for you
- Soop Mar 11, 2010 06:08 AM
I've started to eat more cake.
For some reason I'm getting hungry earlier. I never eat breakfast, but instead break my fast at around 11:30 with a meal from the canteen. But the past 2 weeks I've gotten hungry around 4:30, so I go and buy a cake. It's pretty much that or a chocolate bar or crisps, which I think are worse.
So is cake a reasonable alternative? Or perhaps I should take something extra to work to snack on?
The problem is, in my local mid-sized supermarket, I always struggle to find "picnic food". Sure, they sell sanwiches and overpriced fruit salads, but they don't do samosas or nibbles like that. The best solution I've found is bread rolls and humous, but it gets old fast.
What are your ideas for portable, easy snacks. And I know someone's going to say fruit, but short of oranges I don't like them much.
Cake is an excellent alternative, especially a large slice of chocolate layer. It's quite high in vitamins B, D, plus niacin.
re: Karl S
I'm with Karl here...sounds like you definitely need more good-quality protein, either derived from lean meat or non-meat sources...you might also consider sardines or kippers...maybe a bean salad if you don't like fish....protein will stay with you longer. If nut butters aren't going to work, keep a can of almonds or mixed nuts in your desk. Soop, there are so many threads going here on Chowhound about healthy snacks, too!
re: Karl S
I've seen single serving size packets of peanut butter. Good for people who can't be trusted around a whole jar.
Can you prepare something at home and bring to work? Do you have a fridge or microwave?
Some ideas that have worked for me..
- small container of broth/soup
- celery sticks with pb/hummus
- homemade granola
- yogurt
- cold roasted veggies
re: Karl S
Peanut butter is the perfect food - seriously. Very high in protein per serving, reasonable amount of fat and calories it's got all the makings of a nutritious meal. Especially if its all natural. Almond butter is delicious too. Sandwiches, on pretzels, celery, crackers, etc. AND it's got a long and stable shelf life.
Nutella would satisfy your love of chocolate and will add a hazelnut twist. Put it on toast, make nutella and peanut butter sammies, its good on crackers, etc.
If it's baked goods you crave, what about banana nut bread? Substitute half the white flour w/ whole wheat or graham flour. Any quickbreads would be easy to whip up and you could portion and freeze them easily. For a cake, try catskinner cake. It has lots of carrots, nuts and coconut in it and is sweet but good w/ a simple glaze icing. Here's a link to a recipe: http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/9445...
What about carob spread? Tastes kind of like chocolate and is good on the things mentioned above. Carob is often used as a chocolate substitute. It's all-natural and requires less sugar to taste sweet. You can find it in baked good too - check out your closest natural foods store.
re: lynnlato
HI Lynn - I love, love , LOVE peanut butter, but just for the sake of argument...i don't think peanut butter is a particulary healthy food.
Very high protein? no. only 7 grams in a 2 Tbls serving and it's not a complete protein, so if you don't get a complimentary protein ...it's not usable.
reasonable fat? only if you consider around 75% calories from fat reasonable.
I've weighed 5 pounds more than I wanted to most of my life...and I blame it pretty much on peanut butter ;-)
re: danna
danna, as you can see, I'm not lynn...but peanut butter DEPENDING on what kind you're eating can be very healthy...and in what quantities, of course. The kind of fat found in NATURAL peanut butter is monounsaturated...pretty healthy...here's more in case you are interested...I'll leave the rest to lynn and apologies for butting in:
Hmm, when you say "cake" what do you mean?
Depending on the type of cake, I would say that a chocolate bar would probably be the "healthier" alternative.
Why not just try crackers and cheese, or a handful of nuts, or an energy bar (like Clifs)?
Thanks guys. I do have quite a high protien diet I guess.
I see some good tips here, like youghurt.
Bread and cheese could be a good move I suppose :/ or even bread and butter.
I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but am I to believe there are other nut butters?
As Ipsedixit says, maybe I could buy a big bag of mixed nuts (salty though - and it's only way I like them)
And I have some homemade granola in a mason jar - how long does it last for?
re: Soop
Soop, if you like salted nuts but are a little concerned about fully salted nuts, then maybe try "lightly salted" nuts...Walgreen's, for example, sells lightly salted mixed nuts that I buy constantly to keep here in our work area so that we have a healthier alternative at 4 p.m. and co-workers are hungry.
re: Soop
You could buy raw nuts and toast your own in the oven with just a *little* salt and oil (not hard at all), or, why not buy one bag of unsalted nuts and one of salted and mix them? Easy peasy.
Also, do you have a microwave? You could bring the fixings for quesadillas....maybe some broccoli, low fat cheese, and whole wheat tortillas or pita pockets.
re: ChristinaMason
No microwave CM
re: Soop
You should try "ethnic shops" as sources for Pistacios, you might find they are less £ in shops that cater to people from pistachio-producing countries. Quite a few Iranians in the UK, for one group.
If you don't live in a large city, try to make a trip to such places when you are in one.
re: lagatta
Good tip!
re: weezycom
yep, did this recently with some salted almonds I bought recently because they were on sale and it was either the roasted, salted or raw unsalted. I rubbed the salt off them and they were very good. The raw unsalted almonds I just can't eat...it's like eating cardboard.
re: Soop
Granola will last a month or so if kept tightly sealed in a non-porous container (not plastic). Fresh food tastes better than stale food, so don't buy or make more than you'll eat in a couple of weeks. Granola made with coconut, nuts and seeds will go stale faster (anything containing oils will oxidize, or degrade, when exposed to air) so keep your stock rotated.
Other good portable foods include meat sandwiches brought from home, salads (not just lettuce, but any raw veg can be made into a salad--pick your favorite veggies, slice & dice, add dressing/seasonings) fruits, soups (my favorite--brought in a wide mouth vaccum jar, or Thermos), If you have a lunch room can you make simple things like melted cheese on toast? Popcorn?
Sweets like cake & cookies or biscuits have plenty of calories for a quick pick-me-up but are loaded with "empty" calories which deliver little but carbohydrates from refined sources. They have little staying power, are hard on your digestive system, and can lead to all sorts of systemic illnesses over time (diabetes, heart trouble) if over-indulged in.
One overlooked facet of nutrition is deficiencies in basic vitamins and micro-nutients. Eating whole foods as found in nature as opposed to food manufactured from refined ingredients (cake) delivers a more balanced fuel to run your body and brain. Try to avoid extra sugars which are added to everyting these days--even canned vegetables.
Sounds as though you are looking for prepared food at your supermarket. Do you do any food preparation at home? Do you cook dinner at home? Leftovers from well-balanced meals make great snacks, and are a good way to keep your refrigerator cleaned out.
re: toodie jane
Thankyou Jane! I tend to cook more on the weekend, but I never eat pre-packaged meals.
Looks like my granola is dead.
I've just seen that work seels youghurts so I'm enjoying one now. Don't know how filling it will be.
Also, I don't normally eat a dessert, so I guess it's not as bad as for those who do. We'll see how this youghurt goes!
*edit* Delicious, but not filling. Although I'm certainly less hungry. Wonder if it counts as one of my five a day? Probably good for my insides.
re: Soop
are you willing to do some extra cooking on the weekends to keep for the week?
try baking some frittatas in muffin tins, then wrapping individually and freezing. take them out of the freezer on your way to work, then by the time you're ready to eat, they'll be defrosted.
or, bake some cocoa muffins with hazelnuts (for protein)
the same can be done with oatmeal -- freeze and take out to defrost while you work.
how about whole wheat tortillas spread with a little cream cheese (for protein) and jam, then rolled up! or take hard-boiled eggs, and slice then roll up in the same tortillas.
a couscous salad is also super easy to pre-prep, since it only require hot liquid, then five minutes to sit before fluffing and adding ingredients (try cheeses or tofu or spices or whatever you like - i make sweet couscous sometimes with a little sweetener, lemon juice, spices or even basil)
re: Karl S
Never seen those. Wonder if it's a US thing?
re: Soop
I haven't been to the UK in a while, but I definitely see them in continental Europe, in natural-foods shops.
Don't you crave a lovely old farmhouse cheddar and some water biscuits?
I confess the c**skinner cake looks very good - I'd cut the sugar more still, as you are better off sweetening with fruit as in that recipe. But such a horrific name!
Just noticed one tiny sentence in your OP: "I never eat breakfast". Perhaps you should. Not a full cooked breakfast with bacon and eggs and beans, but something nutritious.
I actually did the "making porridge in a crockpot" experiment, and it came out really well. You need slow-cooking porridge ingredients, such as steel-cut oats or at least the non-instant rolled grains - I did a mixture of oats, rye, and spelt. I make it savoury, with a bit of salt, bay leaves, aromatic spices.
Or anything with protein and fibre. It needn't be a lot.
re: Soop
Hey Soop,
I'm in the UK now, and you can definitely buy almond butter and other nut butters here. Check places like Planet Organic or Earth Natural Foods (in London). Whereabouts do you live?
I think cheesecake17 is right that Marks and Spencers has lightly salted nuts - they might even have nut butters for that matter (or possibly Waitrose does too...might be worth re-posting a question about all of this on the UK board)
The local off-license near me has lots of Persian products....and they have three pistachio flavors: salted, lightly salted, and spicy. They also have plenty of other nuts...if you don't like too much salt, then you could also buy plain nuts and then make some kind of mix that you put on them (for example, the recipe suggested Foodie in Friedberg below).
I often face the same problem as you: I want a snack in the afternoon, and the easiest thing to find is cake or crisps. A lot of these suggestions are quite helpful for me too!
re: Dave MP
Hey Dave :) I'm in Bristol, but I can easily run by Waitrose tonight.
I forgot it's St Particks day today!
re: Soop
there's almond butter and cashew butter to consider. a bit more expensive than pb but soo much tastier, and usually no additives.
i like melba toast as a snack. satisfies the crunch that i need at 4pm.
where are you located? we were in london recently, and i'm pretty sure i saw lightly salted nuts in marks and spencer
re: Soop
>>As Ipsedixit says, maybe I could buy a big bag of mixed nuts (salty though - and it's only way I like them)<<
I can be quite the eater, work at a relentless pace for 12 hours on average, and often need something to tide me over between lunch and dinner - around 3-4PM. The first thing I tend to grab is what's easiest. Because of this, I keep of bag of raw unsalted almonds around. A couple of handfuls and I'm good to go. Don't know how readily available they are, but give them a try. I know you specified salted as I used to be the same way. If possible, give them a try and stick with it for a little while. I still eat "lightly salted" or "50% less" salted nuts so I don't load up on sodium, but I've also become accustomed to no salt, and yes, raw almonds as well. The raw ones tend to take longer to digest, so they hold me over for dinner. If not, I hope you have access to Spanish Marcona almonds. They tend to be less salty in my experience, and while they don't hold me over as well, they still do better than a candy bar or granola. If the almonds still don't do it for you, try taking a nibble of dark chocolate with your almonds.
re: bulavinaka
*holding up my hands...bowing my head* I believe in the power of almonds!!! LOL...I keep low-salt roasted almonds in my desk drawer at work at all times...those little gems have pulled me through hectic work mornings when I've had no breakfast and afternoons when I'm just nasty-hungry around 3:30 or 4:00!!!! They are really awesome!
What about a fresh homemade cake, a dense one with lots of nuts and dried fruit? An applesauce cake or fruited spice cake always _seem_ more healthy to me than a frosted sponge cake. They're not gooey either so you could even carry it (wrapped) in your pocket. [This of course assumes you like to bake.:-)]
re: cuccubear
Love baking.
Would it last a week though? (assuming my girlfriend doesn't scoff it)
Tuna in small individual cans, or as other suggest sardines or kippers or any other meat. Hard-boiled eggs are a great portable snack. You could start bringing in your own food as well instead of depending on the canteen. If you must have something sweet, try peanut butter without added sugar. But eat something with fat and protein--that's way more satiating and healthier than cake.
re: MandalayVA
Please no tuna or ultra smelly food in a workplace. The smell is unbearable for some of us!
In the afternoon I typically have a salty/sweet craving, and this recipe from Giada De Laurentis keeps me happy (I use just almonds and cashews since I can't eat walnuts).
Spiced Cocktail Nuts
Vegetable cooking spray
2 egg whites
2 cups roasted and salted almonds
2 cups roasted and salted cashew nuts
2 cups walnut halves
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet, liberally, with vegetable cooking spray. (I line it with parchment paper first.) Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the nuts and stir until coated. (I then drain the nuts in a colander in the sink, otherwise they end up somewhat gummy.)
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, curry powder, cumin, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the nuts and toss until coated. Arrange the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes until golden and fragrant. Cool for 1 hour.
Using a metal spatula, remove the nuts from the baking sheet. Break the nuts into bite- sized pieces and place in serving bowls
I want to try these and haven't yet:
They look like they should be good for the sweet tooth, but not as unhealty.
I noticed the dislike of PB, but I'm sure almond or cashew would be good as well.
re: corneygirl
Yum! Those look awesome!
You could mix some granola and/or berries (fresh or frozen) in your yogurt to make it a little more "solid" snack. Honey mixed with yogurt and drizzled on fresh fruit is good too.
Do you like bananas? One of those always makes a good snack. You could slice it and sprinkle some cocoa powder over it to make it chocolately. Or, even spread a little Nutella on it.
You're in Europe! You must have access to some awesome cheeses that we Americans would die for. Cheese and crackers!
If you're not a fan of Peanut Butter, how about cream cheese? Anything you can spread PB on, is usually just as good with cream cheese spread on it.
You could look up some "healthy" cookie recipes if you love to bake. There are many versions of oatmeal cookies that are not full of butter and sugar that would make tasty, portable, snacks.
I'm going with an old standard here, but I love those baby carrots and some celery sticks with salad dressing. It's very portable; you put the vegetables in a resealable sandwich bag, and the dressing in a cleaned out small jam or jelly jar. If you have access to a fridge, great; if not, a very heavy duty plastic bag with some ice in the morning should keep things chilly.
The beauty of this approach is you don't have to use the same dressing each day; just clean your jar when you get home, and try something different the next. It will stop you from getting bored. And of course, you could always add or vary the vegetables - strips of red/orange/yellow bell peppers, cucumber.
What I really like about this snack is the crunch factor - it's just way more satisfying to me than a sandwich or a chewy cookie, and I feel way better eating it than I would crisps or the like. Oh, and if you do need to add some protein, a little cubed cheese in another bag gives you a more balanced meal.
re: FrankD
One thing that can tame a real sweet tooth--and add some real nourishment to your diet--is eating sweet potatoes or yams on a regular basis. Peel and slice 'em up like fries, toss with a bit of olive oil, cinnamon, chili powder, whatever you like, and roast in a very hot oven (450 for twenty minutes and then 400 until done), tossing regularly... they will get very brown and toasty and are a great item for the snack sack!
re: Cameraman
In nyc I went to a jerky place in Chinatown and had the most delicious beef jerky and spicy pork jerky. Nothing like the nasty stuff we have in the supermarket. They even had chicken jerky, shrimp & pork... all different flavors. It was dirt cheap too.
re: lynnlato
I've always wondered why Chinese jerky is so much better than it's American counterpart ...
re: ipsedixit
Man, I heard a lot of people say that. Yet, personally, I like the American tough dry chewing beef jerky more than the Chinese soft juicy jerky. I do prefer many Chinese style things like Chinese chef's knife, Chinese chopping block, Chinese wok, Chinese bakery (like egg tarts...). However, when it comes to beef jerky, definitely American for me.
re: Cameraman
me too!
Cocktail napkin wisdom: "Some problems can be solved with love, and some even with humor, but some things just require cake."
Consider keeping some of these in your desk for when you need a snack. www.organicfoodbar.com
Or mix up some trail mix with ingredients of your choice.
Make a Dundee cake with lots of rum. It is better a bit aged; and will last a long time.
Make you own nut butter. Just today (!) I made a jar of almond (left over from last Christmas' Dundee cake) and macadamia nut butter. Toasted the nuts a bit in the toaster oven, processed in food processor, adding honey, touch of salt, and corn oil.
Part of my daughter's school snack is now some cold soba (you can use spagetti) noodles topped with chopped chives, shredded chicken, and a dressing of soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Don't have a food processor yet Sam, but Maybe soon. (Even though we don't have space for it!)
re: Sam Fujisaka
Oh, I do love soba though, because it is made with buckwheat, which is very nutritious and tasty.
Carrots, celery, snow peas, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, etc w/hummus for variety, or just plain. Plantain chips!
Alton Brown has some really good granola recipes:)
(you can probably google others
basically you can sub in whatever you want. they've always turned out really well for me! i have them with coffee/tea/whatever at work for a filling snack.

Arizona Professor Offers Extra Credit To Female Students Who Stop Shaving Their Armpits
Professor Breanne Fahs offers female students extra-credit if they "stop shaving their legs and underarms for ten weeks during the semester while keeping a journal to document their experiences." For Fahs, who teaches women and gender studies, the purpose is to get students thinking critically about societal norms and gender roles.
A similar opportunity is available to men in Fahs' classes who recieve extra credit for shaving all of their hair from the neck down.
One student, Stephanie Robinson, described it as a "life-changing experience:
"Many of my friends didn't want to work out next to me or hear about the assignment, and my mother was distraught at the idea that I would be getting married in a white dress with armpit hair. I also noticed the looks on faces of strangers and people around campus who seemed utterly disgusted by my body hair. It definitely made me realize that if you're not strictly adhering to socially prescribed gender roles, your body becomes a site for contestation and public opinion."

On Sunday, it was the greatest day in racing. On Monday, it was the greatest day in cleanup.
Memorial Day usually means a kickoff to the summer with family and friends at picnics, pools and just relaxing. For a lot of church and school groups seeking to earn some money, though, cleaning up after the world's greatest race provided just that kind of opportunity.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials reported that more than 1,000 people representing various organizations converged on the grounds picking up everything left behind by the 200,000 plus who attended Sunday's race.
From soda and beer cans to grills, all items were collected and turned over to IMS.
Those groups that participated received various amounts of money based upon the amount of areas they cleaned.

Are you sure? If the StartupItem that comes with it is used, wouldn't that be run at startup as root?

OK, I looked at rc.sleep and it implements some systemwide functionality. The SleepWatcher process in this case runs as root and polls /Users/* and /var/root for .sleep and .wakeup files, and executes each while su'ed to the directory name (!) where the file is found, eg /Users/bob/.sleep is run as "bob", whether that user exists or not.
