Texas fertilizer plant that exploded has only $1M coverage, lawyers say
McALLEN, Texas — The Texas fertilizer plant that exploded last month, killing 14 people, injuring more than 200 others and causing tens of millions of dollars in damage to the surrounding area, had only $1 million in liability coverage, lawyers said on Saturday.
Tyler lawyer Randy C. Roberts said he and other attorneys who have filed lawsuits against West Fertilizer's owners were told on Thursday that the plant carried only $1 million in liability insurance. Brook Laskey, an attorney hired by the plant's insurer to represent West Fertilizer Co., confirmed the amount in an email to The Associated Press after the Dallas Morning News first reported it.
"The bottom line is this lack of insurance coverage is just consistent with the overall lack of responsibility we've seen from the fertilizer plant, starting from the fact that from day one they have yet to acknowledge responsibility," Roberts said.
Roberts said he expects the plant's owners to ask a judge to divide the $1 million in insurance money among the plaintiffs, several of whom he represents, and then file for bankruptcy.
He said he was not surprised that the plant was carrying such a small policy.
"It's rare for Texas to require insurance for any kind of hazardous activity," he said. "We have very little oversight of hazardous activities and even less regulation."
On April 17, a fire at the West Fertilizer Co. in West, a town 70 miles south of Dallas, was quickly followed by an earth-shaking explosion that left a 90-foot-wide crater and damaged homes, schools and nursing home within a 37-block blast zone. Among those killed were 10 emergency responders.
State and federal investigators have not determined what caused the blast.
The plant had reported just months before the blast that it had the capacity to store 270 tons of ammonium nitrate, but it was unknown how much was there at the time of the explosion.
Roberts said that even without a conclusive cause, negligence lawsuits can proceed.
"The law allows courts to presume negligence when something happens that would not ordinarily occur but for negligence," Roberts said. "A fire might be an unavoidable accident, but a fire of this magnitude resulting from a fire is not an unavoidable accident."

Dumb luck and a little intuition.... those are crappy US made White-Lightning units that stopped the action.
I joke White Lightnings are cheap only because they don't pay super-models and rent Ferrari and set dressers for their advertising.
They just work.
Regarding the use of the radio slave in the video (I know the point was to sell equipment) butI hard wired my shot there is enough delay in radio slaves that I find I have to run the Hasselblad at 1/250th and Nikons at 1/160th when using a radio slave of any sort. If I had to shoot this jet situation, I would have went hard wire also.
This delay is mentioned in the instructions of most radio slaves I have used. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, but the signal processing on the chips is where this small delay comes from..
....impulse to trigger signal, to received signal, back to trigger impulse voltage takes a little time.

The frozen membranes were thawed on agar plates, and the colonies individually picked and cultured in microwell plates to be finally stored at -80C. Approximately 123,000 and 22,000 clones were arrayed from the two libraries obtained after one and two cycles of normalization, respectively. The DNA analysis of individual clones picked at random revealed an average insert length of 1.7 kb (Figure 3), which was consistent with an earlier analysis performed on over 100 clones (data not shown).
To preserve the advantage of having organized primary clones that had
never been in contact with each other, the subsequent amplifications of
these clones were performed by growing the colonies separately before
any pooling process. The bacterial colonies were individually grown on
agar plates with 96 clones per plate. The clones from each plate were
then pooled to isolate the DNA, and the DNA samples obtained from the
resulting 1,536 pools were double-spotted onto nylon membranes for the

MOBILE, Ala., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An indictment was unsealed today charging 12 defendants, including three owners of a pharmacy and four pharmacists, with participating in a conspiracy that dispensed and sold thousands of dosages of anabolic steroids - including powerful veterinary steroids approved for animal use only - to users throughout the United States, announced U.S. Attorney Deborah J. Rhodes.
The 198-count indictment alleges that pharmacists at Applied Pharmacy Services, Inc. (APS), a compounding pharmacy in Mobile, Ala., illegally dispensed these steroids and other drugs to doctors and steroid dealers in Arizona, California, Texas, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, Florida and elsewhere. The indictment further alleges that these drugs were unlawfully distributed to hundreds of users in nearly every state across the nation, including teenagers and persons under the age of 21. The indictment also charges several of the defendants with money laundering and seeks the forfeiture of $4 million in drug proceeds and eight pieces of real property.
U.S. Attorney Rhodes stated, "Each of the pharmacy owners and pharmacists named in the indictment are charged with prescribing and selling veterinary steroids, approved for cattle and livestock only, to humans. We will continue to work with the DEA, the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, and the Alabama Board of Pharmacy to ensure that medical professionals who abuse their position of trust are held accountable."
The indictment charges A. Samuel Kelley II, Jason R. Kelley, Jodi C. Silvio, J. Michael Bennett, Robin K. Kelly, J. Mallory Mallon, Roger A. Everett, Brett W. Branch, Ronald E. Winter, James A. Abernathy, Daniel C. Riedel and Jesse S. Haggard with various drug and money laundering charges. As alleged in the indictment, doctors prescribed steroids to users, either directly or th

The free plug-in Saturation Knob is a modeled output distortion that can be used anywhere you need some grit. Use it to fatten up bass lines, add some harmonics and shimmer to vocals, or simply destroy your drum loop.
The three modes, Keep High, Neutral and Keep Low give you three kinds of characters of distortion. If you want to squash a drum loop but keep the bass drum fairly intact, you can for example use the Keep Low mode.
How can I get it?
Saturation Knob is available for free. For VST, AAX and Audio Units, Saturation Knob is part of the installer package, which includes all Softube plug-ins. You will find the installer on our Download page.
Propellerheads Reason users can get it from the Propellerheads store: shop.propellerheads.se/product/softube-saturation-knob
My response when they told me the Saturation Knob is a free plug-in was—are you nuts? Seriously? It's too good to be free! I use it to make guitars fatter and more aggressive, snares naturally brighter, kicks punchier, vocals warmer. Basically, it's good on just about anything. Saturation Knob should be renamed Attitude Adjuster! If a plugin can be addicting, the Saturation Knob is it!

well, i lost my job
It is really easy right now to get a job in retail for the holidays. I have gotten offers on all the jobs I applied for and they know I am pregnant. Some retailers will keep you after the holidays, some won't. Either way, if you want/need a paycheck, it's always out there! Good luck! :)
E + A ~ est 2002; Married 2010
direct sales are easy and fun and they likely won't care about the pregnancy. look into 31 (see the link in my siggy). they are super supportive of women, and you only have to have 4 parties a year to stay active, so if you take a couple months off after baby, no one will care.
PAN if you're interested in 31.
JAL: 10/13/2010, 7 lbs 6 ozs, 20 in.; ARL: 4/3/2013, 6 lbs 7 ozs, 18.5 in.
You might have a chance getting a temp job around the holiday's even if it's retail..IF you want to....

I'm in the same boat, kind of. theyve been setting me up for unemployment since they found out i was pregnant. i used to get 40-50 hours a week. now i get 7. and it's hard on our wallets. my boyfriend makes enough to support us, but not us AND a baby. im so stressed out.

Retail is probably the most hired job during this season. Also you could look into a staffing agency for temporary work. Maybe you could get a few different jobs between now and April to build up some experience on your resume.
That is bad luck. Maybe your DH just liked the extra peace of mind your having a paycheck gave him. I don't think you should have a defeatist attitude and assume you won't find a job. I have a desk job and will probably be working here until right before the kid comes unless I have to go on bedrest for a medical reason. Look into jobs at places that are used to switching employees - customer service at malls, receptionists at salons, hotels and apartment complexes, cashier positions that will allow you a little chair etc. There is stuff out there. You just have to look. I'd actually pick that over Avon. I've done Mary Kay before. The running around you have to do to sell products is more of a hassle than a regular job. Also keep in mind that being a one income family you guys may qualify for WIC or similar services. Good Luck!

Clark used computational methods called nodal analysis and finite element analysis to design, model and simulate the monolithic comb drives.
The research paper describes how the monolithic comb drive works when voltage is applied. The results show independent left-right and forward-backward movement as functions of applied voltage in color-coded graphics.
The findings are an extension of research to create an ultra-precise measuring system for devices having features on the size scale of nanometers, or billionths of a meter. Clark has led research to create devices that "self-calibrate," meaning they are able to precisely measure themselves. Such measuring methods and standards are needed to better understand and exploit nanometer-scale devices.
The size of the entire device is less than one millimeter, or a thousandth of a meter. The smallest feature size is about three micrometers, roughly one-thirtieth as wide as a human hair.
"You can make them smaller, though," Clark said. "This is a proof of concept. The technology I'm developing should allow researchers to practically and efficiently extract dozens of geometric and material properties of their microdevices just by electronically probing changes in capacitance or voltage."
In addition to finite element analysis, Clark used a simulation tool that he developed called Sugar.
"Sugar is fast and allows me to easily try out many design ideas," he said. "After I narrow down to a particular design, I then use finite element analysis for fine-tuning. Finite element analysis is slow, but it is able to model subtle physical phenomena that Sugar doesn't do as well."

Re: Configuration of Windchill Quick SearchMike Lockwood Feb 7, 2012 8:18 AM (in response to DareDevil)
Cannot search directly for filenames in today's Windchill.
Think of it more as searching for a container (the CAD Document), which has as it's primary identifier the (unique) NUMBER, and also a NAME. These are on the container; the container holds a Primary content File, and possibly one or more Attachment or Secondary content files.
Re: Configuration of Windchill Quick SearchDareDevil Feb 9, 2012 11:01 PM (in response to Mike Lockwood)
But what about the indexing for the content? Is that just my wishful thinking?
Re: Configuration of Windchill Quick SearchOliverDroop Feb 16, 2012 11:29 AM (in response to DareDevil)
just go to advanced search and add new criteria, in the more section you will find filename. Save this search for later reuse and publish to other users if required. Windchill can do almost everything but not always obvious.
Re: Configuration of Windchill Quick SearchDareDevil Feb 16, 2012 9:31 PM (in response to OliverDroop)
Hi, sorry if I was unclear. I know how to do a pre defined saved search. Then I have to go to the advanced search page and get to this "complicated" UI. I what to choose the way that Windchill carry out the Quick Search.
Re: Configuration of Windchill Quick SearchOliverDroop Feb 17, 2012 1:33 AM (in response to DareDevil)
Do you have the index search running? Then you can define that this field is indexed as well
<Property name="wt.index.IndexFields" overridable="true"
If not, you will need to customize. But I would highly recommend that you rather think about the usage and cleanup of the NAME field. Usability will be so much better if you can use the name field for inline editing, etc and therefore you should think about a robust way to ensure good data. I agree that the solution does not a 100% job and you might want to implement some logic during the release process to ensure that the name field is in synch with the "COMMON_NAME" or any other attribut you feel is appropriate. For the data already in the system you should fix this by some scripts.

Arizona governor asked to nix bill angering gays
PHOENIX — Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer is weighing whether to sign a
bill that allows business owners with strongly held religious beliefs to refuse
service to gays.
A decision is likely next week. Brewer hasn't taken a public stand on the bill.
The conservative governor is already feeling pressure from the business
community to veto the bill passed late Thursday. Opponents also pointed out that
the legislation would serve as a major distraction as Arizona prepares to host
the Super Bowl next year.
But Brewer also will be heavily pressured to sign the bill by social
conservatives who backed it as a religious-rights bill.
Republicans defended the proposal during two days of debate in the House and
Senate, saying the bill is only a "modest update" of the state's existing
religious freedom law.

I was waiting for the new gen of phones to come out, but after seeing the specs of this I would rather pay £300 and get a second hand high end phone (Z1 or G2) right now. I cannot see the point of this spec bump unless your playing games on a phone, which is a waste of time imo.

whilst I like my S3 , really tempted by either HTC or Nokia this time
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Seriously, this is bordering ridiculous, especially the display.
Guess the specs are so much easier to bump up than come up with some new innovative feature that would actually have some real-life usability.
Also, I think got enough TouchWiz for the rest of my lifetime with my now retired Galaxy S2, thankyouverymuch.

Eh, this spec war is just a little pointless now. It'll be interesting when one company decides to go ahead and revolutionise the form factor again (such as with Apple and the iPhone and Motorola with the Razr). Just bumping resolutions, adding more power and putting in more megapixels is pointless. We've already reached the point where greater resolution is meaningless, where more power is held back by battery life and camera's are held back by tiny sensors and crap lenses.
I'd rather have an 8MP phone that takes amazingly clear photos (so a big lens and sensor would be great here) and a 1080p screen that results in really long battery life because the processor isn't so juiced.
Before people point out that these features are available on lower end handsets, well no not really. What's around there are the inferior components, just there because they're cheaper to produce. Why can't I have a really good but lower resolution camera (in a similar vein to what happens in the SLR market where sometimes top sensors are actually lower resolutions than cheaper ones)? I understand that in a small sensor, just adding more pixels can sometimes help to alleviate noise etc. and provide a sort of "zoom" feature, but it would be nice for one of the big players to go the other way round for a change. Surely they could market it as something new and dispel some of the megapixel bullshit that people still swear by?

Go go spec wars enough I think the limits are already been reached.
Can't really see where a phone can go really, there's stuff you see in science fiction like phones in your hands and stuff but I dou't we are close to that in reality.
What more features do people really need. Facebook talk text not a lot more uses for 99% of people.

yes !!!
it really makes a difference when my crappy pictures are shot at 16MP rather than 13MP, brilliant news !
but i'm bit disappointed about the screen res, i was hoping for 4K
and why haven't they put in a 16-core cpu in there ? is a 8-core really enough to make a call or send a text ?

If it follows the previous Galaxy phones with an OLED display, it'll be a Pentile subpixel arrangement, meaning it's true resolution will be closer to half the stated resolution. (i.e. 1.8Mpixel rather than 3.7Mpixel), putting it just under a 1920*1080 (2.1Mpixel) display using a normal RGB stripe subpixel arrangement. Pentile consider two subpixels in the RGBG arrangement to be a single 'pixel' (i.e. 'RG' or 'BG'), meaning that a Pentile 'pixel' cannot produce the full range of colours that an RGB pixel can.
Regardless, it'll be running Touchwiz, so No Sale (unless a Google Play Edition emerges, and the Google Play Edition program extends to the UK).

Wanktastic. I love what phones can do these days but as the article points out, it's just getting silly now. More advances in extending the poor battery life of these devices would be better.

If we agree that the Retina display of iPhones is beyond visible to the naked eye then these stats tell it all.
1920 x 1080 at 4.7", 3 subpixels per pixel - 811 subpixels per inch (HTC One)
1920 x 1080 at 5", 2 subpixels per pixel - 623 subpixels per inch (Samsung Galaxy S4)
1280 x 768 at 4.2", 3 subpixels per pixel - 615 subpixels per inch (Blackberry Z10)
1136 x 640 at 4", 3 subpixels per pixel - 565 subpixels per inch (iPhone 5)
Totally with you on TouchWiz though.

They've gotta keep ramping up, more power is what it needed to push into new markets, I'll be quite happy when my phone replaces my netbook ala atrix/padfone but with an actually usable device that's not too compromised.
As for screen res, I don't care, if its higher and doesn't impact performance/life then I am all for it, I certainly wouldn't whine about it, hopefully the S5 can also handle output of 4k to big screen for playback of all the stuff I'd capture on it at native.

With Samsungs current domination of andriod they can do what they wish at the high end and the users who dont like touch wiz can go take a walk.
Remember the users using a custom SG5/4/3 without touch wiz will be tiny compared to those that are buying the phone to just use in its stock config.
A better screen can be used as a sales point to the masses as they are competing vs Apple for the high end market. With the whole PPI nonesence that they spread in the marketing.
Better megapixel camera is considered better by the masses despite Megapixels having little to do with actual image quality above a certain point.
4k on a phone is surely next.

Samsung has typically matched the increase in Pixels in camera with a step up in image quality, higher pixel cameras can help with crop zooming and having details, it's not like they have solved optical zoom on a phone in the pocket, so again keep upping it and keep the quality, no problem here.
Samsungs software is horrendous though and a bit restrictive, dare I say it apple like in many ways, its a shame as the hardware is spolied by it, bit like the LG G2 I bought for the missus, great hardware, but the software is far to fussy and phone feels cluttered when compared to the light work done by Sony on my Z, it's so much more slick than the Sony though due to the power.

The HP Cloud strategy offers opportunity and risk:
- HP Opportunity: By leveraging OpenStack, HP can assure channel partners and customers that they are leveraging an open, scalable cloud platform and avoiding vendor lock-in. HP will also benefit from OpenStack R&D performed by dozens of OpenStack community partners.
- HP Risk: By leveraging OpenStack, HP will also make it easier for customers and partners to abandon the HP cloud and migrate to alternative services if HP's cloud services aren't top notch. One potential destination: Rackspace, which continues to make strategic hires to bolster OpenStack.
Wired has reported that HP's cloud will run VMware's open-source Cloud Foundry atop OpenStack — and not Windows Azure, at least to start with. Leveraging OpenStack, HP hopes to help customers easily move applications between public and private clouds. It's somewhat similar to how Eucalyptus wants to offer a private cloud standard that's compatible with Amazon Web Services (the public cloud).
Meanwhile, Talkin' Cloud believes HP and Microsoft will continue to cooperate on a range of on-premise and cloud efforts, but it sounds like the HP Cloud and Microsoft Windows Azure are on a collision course to compete.

Eighteen years have passed since FreeSpace 2 and the destruction of Capella, and the shattered colonies of man are finally ready to re-open the jump node to Earth. As the Alliance teeters on the verge of total social collapse, the Security Council deploys the elite 14th Battlegroup to re-establish contact with Earth, and young pilot Samuel Bei finds himself once more under his estranged father's command. Age of Aquarius describes the journey of the 14th Battlegroup as its mission to the Blue Planet goes shockingly wrong. War in Heaven takes place eighteen months after the events of Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius and details the final stages of the civil war between Sol and the rest of her colonies: a war without good or evil, only shades of gray. Built at the cutting edge of the FreeSpace Open engine, Blue Planet is a fan-made conclusion to the FreeSpace saga, a story of sacrifice, triumph, and destiny, and one of the most beloved FreeSpace mods of all time.
Part 2 of the War In Heaven fiction series, this article explains a few of the differences between the UEF and the GTVA. It also details the early days of the war between the two forces.
Posted by The_E on Apr 18th, 2010
GTVA and UEF Fighter Corps
Where the GTVA had invested in cheap, sophisticated superiority fighters capable of independent operations since Capella (an answer to qualitatively inferior Shivan bombers), the UEF fighter corps maintained a moderate reserve of extremely capable high-firepower fighters and gunships. Lacking intersystem jump drives or sustainable energy weapons, these short-duration, low-fuel, high-intensity UEF fighters (the Uhlan, Kentaroi, and most notably the Uriel) were an easy match for the GTVA's four- and six-ship wings of obsolete Myrmidons and Nahema-screening Kulas. UEF pilots, meanwhile, had trained to operate in close coordination with their warship assets, whereas GTVA pilots generally stood well clear in order to avoid friendly beam fire. The Jovian pilots of the UEF Third Fleet, unlike Terran pilots from the First Fleet's Solaris, were disciplined, very well-trained, and largely drawn from active-duty military ranks rather than from reservists. While many of the GTVA Fourth Fleet's pilots had comparable combat experience and better training, they were thrown into battle without appropriate preparation or complete orders due to the hastiness of the Fourth Fleet's move from defensive posture to attack.
The combination of fast, cheap GTVA fighters and non-survivable bomber assets built to attack numerous but thinly defended Shivan warships made even experienced GTVA pilots easy pickings for their UEF counterparts. Only the GTVA's more sophisticated warcraft, including the Perseus interceptor and Aurora scout fighter, excelled in the Terran theater, and this would remain true for the remainder of the war. In order to compensate, GTVA High Command put a premium on new ejection systems, close teamwork with AWACS and friendly warships, and the use of TAG systems. Ironically, the Erinyes heavy fighter – popular among SOC units and heavy fighter squadrons – was not agile enough to stand up to the firepower of UEF gunships, and more than one GTVA ace lost her life in the cockpit of these formerly superior ships.
The GTVA's major advantage was the Balor cannon. Modular, powerful, and intimidating, the Balor became the bread-and-butter weapon of GTVA pilots. The UEF fighter corps grew to fear the Balor intensely. Novice pilots generally lost their life when attacked by Myrmidons or Persei wielding Balors: the oncoming arcs of silver light triggered an instinctive reaction to break and turn away, and the Balor chewed through both shields and UEF armor with ease.
Reclaiming the Beachhead
The 13th's failed assault on Neptune had been intended to secure the area as a staging ground for attacks deeper into the system. However, it became apparent that the element of surprise had been lost, especially when Aurora scouts indicated that the UEF 3rd Fleet (under Calder) was ready to jump to any threatened location immediately. GTVA High Command made the decision to fortify and secure the node and then hold until the disappearance and return of the Orestes and her battle group could be fully explained.
Examination of the 14th Battle Group's recorded telemetry immediately put the Security Council into closed emergency session and led to the temporary disappearance of hundreds of analysts and engineering personnel. The full details of what was discovered can still only be speculated at. Squadrons based on the 14th Battle Group (including the 222nd Nightwolves) were dissolved and all surviving crew members were put through rigorous psychological screening. Some of the 14th's ships were no longer available for analysis - the GTC Duke, GTCv Labouchere, and GTL Solace had defected wholesale to the UEF.
Meanwhile, the UEF Fleet Admirals (particularly Calder of Jupiter) agitated for a massive military push against the vulnerable beachhead. The Elders consistently vetoed these requests. The belief amongst the Council members was that the invasion must be motivated by a misunderstanding and that diplomatic contact would be productive. This belief was bolstered by the arrival of thousands of defectors from the 14th Battlegroup. These defectors were extensively debriefed in the months to come, providing the UEF with its first understanding of GTVA beam weapons and tactical doctrine – including the use of tactical meson bombs, which would become critical in the later stages of the war. Several Elders performed lengthy interviews in order to gain an understanding of GTVA history.
These Elders meditated for some time on their findings before producing reports for the UEF public. They picture they drew was chilling. Earth's children had ventured out amongst the stars and found only unknowable hostility and infinite hatred. The GTA of old had broken and collapsed, just as it had on Earth.
But unlike the Council of Elders and the Ubuntu Party, which had been only a minor splinter faction at the time of the Lucifer's destruction and earned power by popular appeal, the GTVA had been reborn as a primarily economic and political entity, rather than a cultural force. This focus on 'hard power' and military defense had left the GTVA vulnerable to internal ideological rifts, first during Reconstruction and then during the turbulent Neo-Terran Front rebellion. The Terran identity had become characterized by militarism and fear, and – as one Elder put it – these were traits that could sustain an army, not a people.
In effect, the GTVA had maintained the trust of its people through the promise of an impenetrable military aegis. The disaster at Capella had shattered this ideal. The fall of Gamma Draconis and Capella was, by all accounts, a military miracle, a masterpiece of defensive play and quick thinking. It was not, as some asserted, a case of hubris or overweening pride: the GTVA had enacted contingency plans in the event of a massive Shivan invasion, and enacted them successfully.
But the GTVA had portrayed itself as the great answer to the Shivans. The public did not listen to the calm and clinical debriefings of the GTVA's officers; it listened to the eyewitnesses who broke down into fits of dread and anguish when reminded of the shadows that had filled Capella's skies. This backlash was exacerbated by the difficult aftermath of Capella. The total population of Capella (250 million) was distributed evenly across the GTVA in a smooth and well-run diaspora. But the loss of the Capella system and its node connections had critical economic ramifications. The journey between Vega and Epsilon Pegasi was now a 5-jump trip instead of a simple 2-jump hop, increasing transit time and costs for outlying colonies in Mirfak, Adhara, and Procyon. Small increases in shipping costs, combined with the desperate need for commandeered civilian ships to help move and resupply the Capella refugees, led to a massive economic collapse that began in the outer systems but eventually shook the entire Terran half of the GTVA. (The shipping troubles were only one cause; a general atmosphere of fear and insularity after Capella also contributed).
The hardest hit were the newest colonies and their vulnerable ecosystems. With shipping schedules, population sizes, and consistent offworld assistance disrupted, carefully balanced planetary ecologies broke down. At least two worlds were downgraded to 'marginally habitable' by massive ecosystem collapse: plankton die-offs, algae blooms, catastrophic crop failures, and worse. The citizens of these worlds had to be relocated in turn, leading to a chain-reaction economic and environmental crisis. Only Vasudan intervention prevented further disaster, but this came at its own price: massive debt amongst Terran worlds and widespread resentment at continued Vasudan prosperity.
Insurgencies in outlying systems, classified encounters, and corporate rebellions sparked a series of brush wars. The GTVA needed an ideological center to win the hearts and minds of its teetering citizens. Before his death, Admiral Petrarch provided this center: a return to Earth. Instead of Neo-Terra, the GTVA would earn the genuine article.
This promise sustained the Terran elements of the GTVA for eighteen years, until the completion of Centaur Station and the Sol gate. However, this came at the cost of an increasing break with the Vasudans. By the time of Centaur Station's commissioning ceremony, the Terran and Vasudan elements of the Security Council and High Command were barely in communication, President Demitri Toqueville was only marginally recognized by the Vasudan government, and diplomatic relations were frosty.
It was in this atmosphere of tension that the first probes into Sol were sent. GTVA High Command (or, more specifically, the Terran strategic elements) had drafted a set of contingency plans to deal with possible conditions on the far side of the portal. Contact by STL probe and transmission had been attempted but largely failed due to technical issues.
Initial probes confirmed one of the GTVA's more drastic fears: Sol had been overrun and completely amalgamated by a radical religious ideology called Ubuntu. This new party had completely removed the old GTA power structure, de-unified the three major colonies (Earth, Mars, and Jupiter), deprecated the military , decentralized the government, and left Sol completely vulnerable to Shivan incursion.
Furthermore, the appeal of the Ubuntu ideology was so great that GTVA sociopsychologists predicted massive conversion amongst a populace already yearning to abandon failed colony worlds and emigrate to Earth. The military might of the GTVA would be brought down by ideology once more.
Under the guidance of President Toqueville, as advised by a panel of psychohistorians and sociopsychologists, the Security Council elected to enact its most severe contingency: the invasion of Sol. This contingency was hotly debated but ultimately selected for several reasons:
The ethical implications of this plan were considerable, but the Security Council believed that the alternative was the disintegration of the GTVA, its replacement by a non-militaristic Ubuntu government, and the massive centralization of the human population in Sol, leaving the fringe worlds vulnerable to the inevitable third incursion.
Vasudan elements of the Security Council were never consulted, but it is believed Khonsu II became aware of the plan shortly before its execution.
The failure of the GTVA forces to make immediate headway into Sol (or, in fact, to do so for the next several months) must be placed into context. Admiral Bei had been hand-picked to lead the beachhead, and his defection left the plan without a leader. The High Command instantly recognized that the entire GTVA OrBat and plan of attack had been compromised by Bei's defection. In order to prevent massive losses, the interim commander, Admiral Cyrus Severanti, elected to pursue an extremely conservative plan of attack in which fortification of the node would be paramount.
It would be months before a second assault on Neptune would begin. These months were marked by moderate-intensity warfare that saw the devastation of planetary infrastructure around Sol and the destruction of most of the regional defense militias not placed under the Jovian Third Fleet's jurisdiction.
In spite of this long break, the UEF was not able to prepare a military response, and the Council of Elders elected to pursue diplomatic avenues instead. Some high-level talks did occur, in which the GTVA outlined its demands:
These demands were met with bewildered refusal.
In the meantime, the GTVA built up forces at the node, establishing a 'great umbilical' that would supply further pushes into the Sol system. Facing a military infrastructure and population base nearly comparable to their own, the GTVA relied on its superior tactical capabilities and experienced officer base to gain abilities. The critical need, however, was for Anemoi logistics ships to permit extended operations away from the node. In a strategic environment defined by the instantaneous nature of subspace travel, it was vital that GTVA assets be decentralized and new beachheads be established.
When the assault on Neptune came, it was not because Neptune was geographically distant from the major colonies – subspace made this irrelevant. It was because Admiral Severanti judged that the UEF would not commit resources to the defense of such a sparsely populated and unimportant location.
Severanti was correct. The attempted defense of Neptune was perfunctory and ineffectual. Admiral Calder was, by this point, in a state of near-constant rage with the Council of Elders, and went so far as to comment that the GTA's final demand should very well be instituted.
The battle of Neptune was a preliminary engagement but it was still a significant one. However, it led into an even more startling event – a high-risk, deep-cover SOC operation that brought the war home to the UEF.

50th Anniversary Edition With a New Preface and Two Bonus Essays
The most influential critique of psychiatry ever written, Thomas Szasz's classic book revolutionized thinking about the nature of the psychiatric profession and the moral implications of its practices. By diagnosing unwanted behavior as mental illness, psychiatrists, Szasz argues, absolve individuals of responsibility for their actions and instead blame their alleged illness. He also critiques Freudian psychology as a pseudoscience and warns against the dangerous overreach of psychiatry into all aspects of modern life.

Celebrations – Our first volunteer – Construction of the dining hall
Tareto Maa welcomed its first external volunteer: Nate Demers from Michigan. He arrived at Tareto Maa early in April, and the first thing he had to do was: to celebrate! On April 9, 2014, we celebrated Tareto Maa's 5 Year Anniversary. Five years ago Gladys Kiranto started to shelter orphans from the local community and girls escaping FGM. In the beginning, 7 children were sheltered in the houses of Gladys and her family and friends. Five years later, the Tareto Maa Girls' Refuge provides for the needs and the well-being of 106 children who have sought out our assistance.
To celebrate this anniversary, the Tareto Maa teams in the USA, Germany and Austria sent a thank-you letter and small personal presents for each team member in Kenya. The presents were manually recharging "dynamo flashlights" (a hot commodity in a village without power).
On the occasion of the anniversary, Philippe and Fynn from Austria started a charity run at the Vienna City Marathon. Thanks to many supporters' contributions they raised around $2,500 which will be used to pay for the school fees of six girls.
After the anniversary celebrations, it was time for our first volunteer, Nate, to share his practical skills and to join some hard works. The construction of the dining hall started! This building is one of the major projects at Tareto Maa this year. We are happy and proud that this project successfully started, and after 3 months it is nearly completed now. At the moment, we are building the roof.
A current food crisis
While we mastered one challenge with building the dining hall, unfortunately another huge challenge emerged. It saddens us to report that the corn crops in the community of Kilgoris, Kenya were once again destroyed this season by a plant disease (a viral infection named "Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease"). After last year's destruction, we thought we had the problem resolved via a harvest of a new breed of corn. Now, we see this was not a final solution. Tareto Maa leaders are reaching out to agricultural experts to gain insight on possible causes of this issue. Subsidiary farming is how we help mediate our expenses and losing our entire crop is a great loss. Due to the support of many people worldwide we were able to buy food for the children now to provide sufficient meals in the months to come. However, this food crisis is a severe setback for Tareto Maa, and any support to buy further food would be greatly appreciated.
Send us your pics – A Photobook of the Tareto Maa Community
We are creating a photobook to "introduce" the members of the Tareto Maa community to the girls of the Rescue Center. When the presidents of the Tareto Maa groups from the USA, Germany and Austria will meet in Kenya this August, they want to hand over the booklet to the children.
Please send pictures of yourself (at work, with your family, with your favorite pet, lounging at home or partaking in your favorite hobby) along with a brief description to email@example.com by Friday, July 22.
The year 2014 started with great news! During the "circumcision season" in December, no girls sought shelter at Tareto Maa to escape female genital mutilation (FGM). Though we do not know whether FGM in the area is completely eradicated, this evidence suggests a rapid decrease in the number of mutilations occurring in Kilgoris, Kenya. This is a huge success, and we are very positive that Tareto Maa has contributed to this important social change.
But there were even more good news. As many of the local families have abandoned FGM, Gladys Kiranto and the Pastor met with the families of 18 girls who were at the Tareto Maa Refuge. It was determined that those girls could now safely return home. Their parents have promised not to force mutilation or marriage. The Pastor will check in with the families to verify the girls are safe and continuing to attend school.
This is the first time that girls who had fled to Tareto Maa were able to return home. We are really happy for these girls and about this progress in general.
However, the work of Tareto Maa won't stop here. We will continue in our pledge to aid the vulnerable children of Kilgoris. Most of all, there are many abandoned orphans who came to Tareto Maa and asked for shelter. To help these children is a pressing task.
Time to celebrate: Tareto Maa's 5th anniversary
On April 9, 2009, Gladys Kiranto and some of her friends and relatives founded and registered Tareto Maa. That means: it's time to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Tareto Maa!
We created a special "anniversary logo" which we will post during the month of April in honor of all people who supported Tareto Maa in the past 5 years.
Furthermore, we celebrated Tareto Maa's anniversary with a charity run: at the Vienna half marathon! By this means we raised funds to sponsor the education of girls in the Tareto Maa Refuge. (See: www.tareto-maa.org/celebrating-our-anniversary-with-a-charity-run.) Besides, of course, we prepared personal presents for the team members in Kenya.
But there is another anniversary to be celebrated! One year ago, Jackie Adams joint our team and started to found the Tareto Maa group in the USA. In a very personal article, Jackie shared how deciding this has had an impact on her life: www.tareto-maa.org/one-year-later-changing-my-life-while-working-for-change/
(By the way, in honor of her efforts to help abolish FGM in Kilgoris Jackie was recognized in March 2014 as one of the top 25 Movers and Shakers under 35 in Northeast Ohio!)
Annual Report 2013, and our tasks for the months ahead
Tareto Maa has published its 2013 Annual Report which includes factual and financial information about all our projects and also a comprehensive photo timeline of this past year's activities: www.tareto-maa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Tareto-Maa_Annual_Report-2013.pdf
Now it is time for us to look ahead and face the most important challenges for the next months. We now have 106 girls at the center and with more girls moving on to secondary education the costs are still increasing. Further challenges for 2014 will be to build a dining hall for the refuge and to establish a training and farming center. This training center shall improve the job prospects of the youth in the refuge and the community and shall help to increase food supply.
We would be happy if you accompany us on this path, and we appreciate your help.
In November 2013, an official Tareto Maa group was registered in Austria. The Austrian group will help to find financial support for the children of Tareto Maa and to raise awareness about Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). In addition to that, the group's main goal is to extend and deepen the network with organisations and other partners.
Also the Tareto Maa group in the USA reached another important milestone: The required papers and documents for the IRS (the Internal Revenue Service of the United States federal government) have been completed in the beginning of this month.
A book about Tareto Maa
Tareto Maa has published a book! The book contains 44 pages with photos that Caroline Annandale took at Tareto Maa, and with the stories of the girls why they had to escape to our refuge. The girls themselves picked the name of the book: "Tumaini". That's Swahili and means "Hope".
These are some short links to find the book in the Internet:
English edition (Amazon U.S.): http://amzn.to/17fmEpB
German edition (Amazon Germany): http://amzn.to/1dUD7Es

The Tareto Maa Christmas Choir
In appreciation for all the generous support we've received over the past year, Tareto Maa proudly presented its very first Christmas Carol! This video stars a Japanese high school, U.S. families, a choir from Finland, an opera singer in Germany, Tareto Maa board members, lots of supporters, friends and relatives – and even a zebra and an elephant. Many thanks to all who participated in our global choir: http://youtu.be/xhc-GUcotuY
Some more news
We made an improvised eye test for the girls in the Tareto Maa Center. The girls who were having problems with their eyes were sent to an eye doctor in Kisii. Now 9 of the girls in the refuge are wearing glasses.
Members of the German business network BNI donated 1,700 euro for Tareto Maa (= 2,250 USD). Our project manager Rona and three of the children travelled to Nairobi, to receive the symbolic check and to talk with the donors.
A communications agency from Berlin has donated a rain water tank for Tareto Maa as a Christmas present. The tank is containing the rainwater from the roof of the dormitory. The water will be used as drinking water and for farming.
In August, Jackie Adams, the chairwoman of Tareto Maa USA, and Armin Erkens, chairman of the German group, visited the children at Tareto Maa. During their stay, they handed over several gifts and conducted some projects together with the kids.
Jackie published a personal travel report, including many photos of the trip: http://www.tareto-maa.org/my-first-visit-at-tareto-maa/
For instance, a Tareto Maa Library (with official office hours) was opened, as the Tareto Maa Center has received 50 pounds worth of children's books from the U.S. now, including Dr. Seus and the Bernstein Bears. The girls love spending the afternoon gathering in groups to read aloud together.
The "Buffalo Bikes" which were funded by a donor from Germany and which are tailor-made for roads in rural Africa, also meant great fun for the children. They taught each other how to ride a bike. There were many small accidents and bleeding knees. But the girls just put some band-aid on it, and continued to cycle.
While Jackie and Armin were visiting, some movies were screened: with a projector that was donated by a European company and a white bedsheet on the wall. The girls' favorite movie was: Pipi Longstocking. :-)
Together with Jackie, the girls crocheted recycled plastic bags into change purses and made traditional Maasai bracelets (using the colors of the Tareto Maa logo). These items will be sold in the U.S. with half of the proceeds going to support the efforts of Tareto Maa and the other half benefiting a project of the girls' choice.
During their stay in Kenya, Jackie and Armin also met many people in Nairobi and Transmara to talk about the development of Tareto Maa, and how to cooperate. These talks included the Kenyan Government (Ministry of Agriculture and the department that is in charge of fighting Female Genital Mutilation), the British DFID, the German GIZ, World Vision Kenya, the founder of the SupaMaasai Foundation, and the Kilgoris Project.
Together with the local team, Jackie and Armin also met the District Agricultural Officer in Kilgoris to talk about the current food crisis.
Food crisis: the corn disease has spread all over the country
The plant disease which is destroying the corn/maize harvest has spread all over Kenya by now. The Tareto Maa team is working on long-term solutions to improve food supply. However, the situation will be tough and challenging for the next 2 or 3 years (until resistant seeds might be available).
Tareto Maa successfully completed a fund-raiser to buy food for the next months. Many thanks to all people who supported this task!
In Jackie's hometown, the regional newspaper, the News Tribune, published a series of articles about Tareto Maa and the work of the U.S. group. See, for instance:
Gifts for the girls
It has been an exciting time at Tareto Maa, as the girls received some lovely presents from donors abroad. As the rainy season made the climate very cold, help arrived by the way of 104 sweaters, donated by a family from our newly formed USA team and its chairwoman. There was also a book delivery and an adventure involving a parcel which started its journey in Canada and was sent by a supply chain across to Kenya with essential supplies for the girls.
Bicycles for the refuge
Jens, a supporter from Germany, completed a great pilot project for Tareto Maa. He conducted a fund-raiser for 6 bikes (plus training of a mechanic, a toolkit and a trailer). The "Buffalo Bikes" which are tailor-made for roads in rural Africa, will enable the children to cycle to far-off schools, and we can use them to bring sick people to the doctor and goods to Tareto Maa.
Victory at a singing competition
Congratulations to the students of our Naitawang Riverside Academy who won an award for singing and dancing (which are highly-prized traditions for the Maasai). They were no. 1 in the Transmara District. Now the next competition will be on Province level.
Houses for the teachers
Thanks to the local community, the teachers of the school have been provided with some temporary shelter. The houses are of basic construction but provide much needed housing for the teachers who were finding it difficult to travel backwards and forwards from their homes to school during the rainy season.
International conference in Tanzania
In June, our project manager Rona attended an international conference in Tanzania, organised by Forward UK and other organisations. It was on the subject of early enforced marriage. For Rona it was the first time to travel across the border, for Tareto Maa it was the first international conference.
Strengthening our communications
A new Tareto Maa WIKI has been introduced and we have created a new Facebook page.
Firstly, the team believed that creating a WIKI would be an important step in sharing the experience gained from the completed projects, encourage dialogue about what we do, and help us develop new ideas for the future. This is the web link to our WIKI: http://www.appropedia.org/Tareto_Maa
Our new Facebook page can be seen here: www.facebook.com/TaretoMaa. We like the new page very much and hope you do to. Please join us there by liking the page!
Following the publication of Gladys' story on Worldpulse, we have seen a beautiful article published by The Girl Effect: www.girleffect.org/news/2013/04/how-economics-can-change-thinking-on-fgm/.
A severe food crisis. We need your help!
We are facing an urgent and very critical situation as the corn harvest has failed completely at the Tareto Maa Center and in the surrounding district of Transmara.
This has been caused by a viral infection called Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease (MLND). It is the first time that this plant disease attacked the crops in East Africa. The infection has destroyed the maize in our field, therefore we must raise funds now to buy staple food for the children.
In addition, alternatives and solutions must be found for the next planting season, to avoid a reoccurring situation in 2014. This will need to include finding seeds resistant to MLND and planting crops other than maize. Research into insecticides is needed as the viruses are transmitted by insects. As this disease is new to Africa, dealing with it is a huge challenge. Therefore we are seeking donor assistance in this very urgent and critical situation to buy food for the children at Tareto Maa.
Please help us here on GlobalGiving if you can: http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/protect-70-girls-from-genital-mutilation-in-kenya/

Hong Kong's Peg to Stay Until Yuan Convertible, Tsang Says
The Hong Kong dollar's peg to its U.S. counterpart will stay at least until the yuan becomes fully convertible, "which won't be tomorrow," Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang said at an event in New York yesterday.
"We want a stable currency," Tsang said. "I am sure the market speculators want us to change and remove the peg; I am sorry, we are going to disappoint you. We won't do that. It will stay this way."
The Hong Kong dollar peg was adopted in 1983, when negotiations between China and the U.K. over returning the city to Chinese control triggered capital outflows. The city's currency has been kept at about HK$7.8 per dollar since 1983. In 2005, policy makers committed to limiting the currency's decline to HK$7.85 per dollar and capping gains at HK$7.75.
China ended its currency peg to the dollar in 2005 after keeping the exchange rate stable for a decade. Chinese officials told European Union business executives that the yuan will achieve "full convertibility" by 2015, EU Chamber of Commerce in China President Davide Cucino said on Sept. 7.
There have been talks on whether Hong Kong should scrap the peg or re-peg to the Chinese yuan, as a fixed exchange rate means the city's monetary policy is largely dictated by the U.S., where a jobless rate of 9 percent has led the Federal Reserve to pledge near-zero rates through mid-2013. Hong Kong's inflation rate reached 7.9 percent in July, the fastest pace since 1995, highlighting the limitations of the existing arrangement.
Review Urged
The Hong Kong dollar was little changed at 7.7697 per dollar as of 12:37 p.m. in the city. One-year implied volatility on the currency, a measure of exchange rate swings used to price options, fell to 1.5 percent from 1.75 percent in the past month. China's yuan strengthened 0.06 percent to 6.3470 per dollar today in Shanghai, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System.
In January, Hong Kong lawmakers Chim Pui Chung and Lam Tai Fai urged a review of the peg. HSBC Holdings Plc chief executive Stuart Gulliver and his counterpart at the Bank of East Asia Ltd., David Li, said in August that any shift could be to a link with a basket of currencies. The same month, Norman Chan, chief executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the city's de facto central bank, rejected proposals for any change to the peg.

"We found that cells with damaged DNA stopped dividing, and lung cells with too much damage could no longer be repaired, thus contributing to the emphysema," she continued. "These results are one of the clearest examples of telomere length, which is an inherited factor, interacting with an environmental insult to cause disease. In fact, our results in mice suggest that short telomeres might contribute to how cigarette smoke accelerates aging in the lung in some individuals."
Dr. Armanios hopes that this new research will lead into new insights into identifying new ways to preserve lung function with age.
"It's important to remember that there is no good reason to smoke and the best way to prevent emphysema is to stop smoking," she said.
Previously, Dr. Armanios and her group had shown that shortened telomeres cause a disease known as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disorder of unrelenting scarring in the lung. IPF occurs with emphysema in some individuals, and the incidence of both disorders increases with age and with smoking. "By linking telomere length to both disorders, there is now clear suggestion that they may share a common mechanism that can be traced to telomeres."
Further research must be done to confirm that the observed findings are applicable to humans, and, if so, what mechanisms might underlie them. "Now that we have examined the question of susceptibility in a rigorous genetic model, we can begin to study how telomere length affects emphysema risk in susceptible populations."

Re: TV Ratings
The BARB site is not necessarily the best way to gauge the success of a specialist channel such as Boxnation.
The sample of households used is only 5000, and when you consider that this is used to guage the television vewing of 60 million people you can understand why it has its limitations.
Its pretty effective for guaging the mainstream shows (soaps, talentless shows etc) and even lesser watched programmes on digital platforms, but when it comes to 'specialist' channels it falls flat.
To assume that just because Boxnation does not appear in the BARB ratings it therefore means it has low subscrption figures is not really right.
I'm not saying Boxnation doesn't have low subscription figures, I just don't know, I'm just saying don't rely on BARB to tell you that.
The only people that really know are Boxnation themselves, the fact that they are not shouting the figures from the rooftops suggest things aren't quite what they would hope, but then again it may mean nothing!

Notebook: Shane Victorino: It's a Series topic
Notebook: Shane Victorino: It's a Series topic
Shane Victorino didn't need to see Alex Rodriguez manning third base for the Yankees last night at Fenway Park for the memories to come rushing back.
In 2009, Victorino had a chance to win a second consecutive World Series with the Phillies. But Rodriguez hit a contested two-run homer in Game 3, drove in the winning run in Game 4 and celebrated the crowning moment of his career after Victorino made the series-ending out in Game 6 at Yankee Stadium.

The Dane sustained the injury at the GP de Marseillaise at the end of January and the damaged scaphoid required surgery.
But the 33-year-old was training again just a week later and he has now been given the go-ahead by team doctors for the 'Race to the Sun', which starts on March 3.
"I'm incredibly glad to be allowed to race again," Bak said. "That's what I've trained for all winter."
"I've trained well on my home trainer with some 'nasty' intervals, and the last few weeks put in many hours on the road.
"Of course I shall get beaten up on the climbs in Paris-Nice, but after a few days, I hope my diesel engine will go well."

Food for Thought: Forget the Greeting Cards…
And send me the money instead!
Okay, so Hallmark is still making a killing by providing us with all the mush and fuzzy feelings that we get reading their cheesy three to four liners. You might be considering sending your friends some to "send your love" to them this next-big holiday.
But have you considered the cost of cards these days? Prices range from $2.50 (for the ones with cheesy lines) to $5.00 (for those with raspy and corny tunes). Here's a thought, why not just send the money. While this may not apply to your friends who are raking in the big bucks, you might be able to make those pesky little nephews and nieces smile more by handling some green.
Sure, it may sound cheap but let's face it. Kids would love to have their own money to spend rather than a greeting card with cheesy lines scribbled inside them. Corny poetry doesn't buy you ice cream, that's for sure. But five bucks will!
